Pitchfork +1 Strategy

1) Find a partner in whatever city you want to start it. It doesn't matter where you start.

2) Each city has combination of costumes that you and your partner must wear while standing under a balloon that will reward you with a Pitchfork. So far I know that in Sandy it is Ghost + Skeleton and another post here says that in Bastok it is Skeleton + Shade. I don't know about Windy but someone will probably post it here soon.

3) It's easiest to trade your treat to a shop/stationary NPC monster than a roaming monster. Scroll and read CoffeeAndApples' post with a list of NPCs and what they turn you into.

4) Turn into what you're supposed to be for the city you're in. Run to and meet your partner under a balloon and you will rewarded with a Pitchfork.

5) Go to a different city. I have confirmed that you must be with a different partner for the +1 "quest" then you were on the NQ Pitchfork quest. Systematically trade with each monster NPC in a shop, etc. to find out which one will turn you into a Goblin. It is different for different people so you'll have to find yours. (Other haves posted here to go to such-n-such NPC but if that's not yours, it won't work.)

6) Once you and your partner are both Goblins, find the correct balloon (could be any in that zone) to stand under and you'll be rewarded the Pitchfork +1.

hey, i have the horror pumpkinhead, pumpkinhead, pumpkinhead II, trick staff and treat staff, my opinion is treat staff is much better than treat staff II because the II is a 120 hour delay everytime where treat staff you can use whenever!

Pitchfork +1 (Polearm)
Dmg: 2
Delay: 369
Lvl 1 all jobs
Costume increase movement speed

I have gotten the Pitchfork, Pitchfork +1, Pumpkin Head, Pumpkin Head II, Trick staff, and Treat Staff.

Still looking for Trick and Treat staves #2 and the Horror Head I and II.........

I am from Sandy and my server is Kujata. To get the Pitchfork +1 you first have to have the Pitchfork by partnering up as a Ghost and a Skeleton then go to the Lanterns. Once you get the Pitchfork you then need to disband your party in Sandy, then head to Bastok. Once in Bastok, go to Bastok Markets. At this point, you need to team up with someone from Bastok. Right outside the AH there is an NPC that will turn you into a Goblin, you and your partner must BOTH be goblins (ginger cookies work fine) then run together to G-4 on the map in B.Markets to the lantern there, and you will get the Pitchfork+1 you might have to do it twice for both to get it. Later.

Such an annoying event. Making us spend our money on an event. REVOLT REVOLT! They'll do anything to make us work as a team. At least the Azimunth's Circle event was clear in what we had to do. Well I'll stop ******** now.

Ok, for those of you all participating in this event, I have a few questions.
First of all, there has been a rumor that you can only get one prize (the pumpkin hats/staffs) per game day. Is this just a rumor?
There is also something I've noticed... you can only get one costume a day, the rest of the time, the NPC just says "Thank you..." and takes the treat from you. Some people say if you trade a different type of treat, you can get another costume that day. I have yet to test this out, because I don't want to go spending a ton of gil on various treats and end up wasting it all.

With that all being said, can anyone clarify or comfirm these? And what kind of treats are you using? I've found "Ginger Cookies" from the traveling merchants to be rather cheap, about 10gil a peice.

This is how I got my pitchfork +1 in south sandy:

First, my team partner Riftrip and I got us both goblin costumes. You get a gob costume by trading sweets to a certain NPC while having the NQ pitchfork equipped. It seems that this NPC is a different one for each character; I got mine from Lotte in the tavern in south sandy while Riftrip got his costume from Aveline (in Raimbroy's Grocery).

After we got our costumes we just ran to the decorated site at E-7. Strangely enough, only I got the pitchfork +1 at this site while Riftrip got nothing. The only explanation I have for this is that I wore a horror head II and he didn't, we're still trying to figure this out though.

EDIT: OK, you don't need the horror head II to get the +1 fork. After I got my fork, we just zoned out and back in again and this time made sure that Riftrip was at the decorated site before me. He got his fork and I got a jack-o-lantern.

Now to find out how to get a Pitchfork +1, sigh

3) member A trade a sweet on Corua npc in G9 for get bone costume
4) Member B trade a sweet on Phamelise npc in K9 for get Ghost costume
5) now go at decoration in L-7 and you receives the Pitchfork
