Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Labyrinth...or buy Candy Corn off the Trading Post. (Be aware...the Hat removes all hair on the character.) Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 I always recommend buying off the TP. You can farm enough pieces of candy from mining, ToTs, etc, but... it's super tedious and drains the fun out of the festival for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I never really partook in Halloween stuff in previous years, but I decided to give the labyrinth a try because I really wanted Touch of Fog. Could only last an hour before boredom stopped me, so I just bought the rest of the cobs. Well worth it. I think I got like 4 cobs in an hour during the farm, so yeah...not worth the investment in my opinion. However, I really don't like farming stuff in games, so I am not surprised.

Farm Labyrinth (or whatever farm you prefer if you can't stand Lab) - but **don't open the bags!** Sell the *bags* on the TP, and use that gain to buy Cobs.

Exactly what I was going to say. Unless you get a very rare drop the bags are worth more than their contents, far more than the candy corn, so it's better to sell the bags and buy candy corn.

sorudo.9054 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 just a small calculated question, how much can i get from the home node per year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 If you have the King-Sized Candy Corn (node), you will receive 6 -12 x 365 (or however many days you gather). (2190 - 4380) If you have the regular Raw Candy Corn (node), half that amount. (1095 - 2190) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal Spiro.9745 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 By current pricing one stack of tot bags is work 3 candy corn cobs worth of candy corn. So you just need to earn 10 stacks of tot bags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeivu.3615 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 That is... Kinda messed up given that a few years back they were handed out for free in the gem store. 30 cobs just seems excessive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalendraf.9521 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Actually, they were free, but not a gemstore item AFAIK. Instead you just needed to participate in the Mad King Says event during the 2012 Halloween Festival to get the item. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Witch%27s_Hat 30 cobs does seem like a ripoff for this. ~3 (similar to Hexed Outfit) would seem more appropriate.

(1095 - 2190) And to note, if you've got a friend, or a second account that you can log onto both at once, have one instance with the regular and the other with the king-size. They count as different nodes, so you can harvest both in one day for 9-18 pieces of candy corn a day. Naturally this is more profitable for those with alt accounts since they effectively get 18-36 a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that's why I never got into home nodes much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 It does seem weirdly expensive. I think the original plan was to mimic GW1's system of having a unique hat awarded for the 'finale' of each festival (which for Halloween is Mad King Says) with the hat given out changing each year. Halloween 2012 was the first special event GW2 had and at the time their plan was that all new content would be special one-time events which progressed in real time, with different activities becoming available through the event and some ending before the whole thing was over. That proved unpopular for a variety of reasons, mainly because it was massively inconvenient for players (for example they announced Halloween would start with a one-time, never to be repeated event and some people actually took the day off work or woke up in the middle of the night to be there and then it turned out to be a 1 minute cut scene of Mad King Thorn bursting out the fountain in LA) and it caused all kinds of issues with lag and crashes because of pushing everyone into the same areas of the game. But I suspect some people at Anet still wanted this hat to be rare or special, so they brought it back but 'compromised' by making it very expensive to get.
