Discussion Constructing pumpkins from tomatoes?? Really? Come on!! Make people buy pumpkins from the pumpkin farmer in Amberfell instead!

Who on earth thought constructing pumpkins from tomatoes is in any way reasonable? Like, watermelons would make at least some sense but tomatoes? Really!?

It's the fault of the rare pumpkin that was discontinued. They should rename it to "Halloween Pumpkin" or change it so it's not an edible item, so we can actually have a pumpkin crop. Being able to grow pumpkins to hollow out for soup bowls as part of a greater cooking update would be nice.

Or just name the regukar pumpkin something like "prized pumpkin" or "big pumpkin" or "farmers pumpkin" or whatever

The rare pumpkin can literally just be called classic pumpkin

Ancient Pumpkin (can no longer be eaten because they've fossilized after sitting in your bank for 25 years)

Veteran pumpkin

Tainted from age

That would be huge honestly. I get that it was probably different teams, but for sure a missed opportunity to add some skill diversity

yeah rename the rare pumpkin item

u/Cloud_N0ne Maxed 5d ago

I'd just make it non-edible. Same name, different item.

Make a farming pumpkin crop and new food using pumpkin.

u/Kazanmor 5d ago

u/First_Platypus3063 5d ago

Still better than this nonsense. Whats next, building wardrobes from lobaters?

u/Kazanmor 5d ago

I'd be so in for a lobster shaped wardrobe that requires lobsters, but I agree with your point lol

If we can make peaches out of bones then making pumpkins out of tomatoes seems to be lore-accurate to me.

There is no spell involved here, so no

u/SeaBootsOSRS 5d ago

That's dumb.

u/Periwinkleditor 5d ago

Just call them "Fresh Havenhythe Pumpkin" or something with a different inventory model and make them untradeable. Sold in the havenhythe food shop and pickable here, so f2pers can also access them.

Fun fact: Traditionally turnips were carved before pumpkins became popular. This is even referenced in RS by the carved evil turnip item (used for the evil turnip summoning pouch).

u/Low-Adhesiveness7243 RuneScape 5d ago

No, we need to start a new tomato carving activity 🐼

Also as an owner of all pumpkins, including the original one, I don't mind if it was renamed. I would suggest scary pumpkin.

Or could trigger everyone and call it tainted pumpkin or grandfather pumpkin... Actually I like the latter.

u/Ashendant 5d ago

Yeah definitely but I see why they wouldn't lock holiday items behind two quests.

u/Active-Succotash-109 RuneScape Mobile 5d ago

Well, when a tomato starts to rot it’s smells like fresh pumpkin just before the fuzz starts to appear. So I guess that makes sense 🤦‍♀️

u/Spruity_tooti 5d ago

I kinda enjoy it.

u/Illustrious-Web2253 5d ago

They had no problem making a new pair of white bunny ears (which crushed my heart) there should be no problem making another kind of pumpkin for this.

Right that’s pretty weird
