Heartopia pumpkin carving is a Halloween hobby that stays after the festival

Halloween in Heartopia has given the town more than a seasonal backdrop. Pumpkin Carving arrived during Night of Divination, and the global announcement explicitly says the hobby will remain after the festival. For people who enjoy decorating their homes, it is a creative activity that can stay part of everyday life instead of ending on October 31.

More than a one-day decoration

The official notice dates the hobby’s launch to October 10 at 06:00 server time. It has its own tools, upgrade tickets and collectible certification. Completing the introductory quest grants the required tools, while Azure’s Fashionwave Hobby Store also offers a Wishing Star route to unlock the hobby. The hobby and upgrade tickets are separate entries; check current in-game conditions and costs.

From seed to a place at home

I like how the design links growing to home decoration. Blanc’s Gardening Store sells pumpkin seeds, and the Grow Box supplied by Azure produces Grimkin Pumpkins in different colours and sizes. Those pumpkins can be made into different carvings at a Carving Bench, which the official announcement says can be arranged and combined at home. These are special carving pumpkins; the announcement does not say every ordinary cooking pumpkin works as the same material.

The journey from seed to decoration gives a piece of furniture a small story. Size, colour and placement all leave room for personal choices rather than just an event score. A carving might sit in an autumn cottage or become part of an entirely different home design. The actual designs, qualities and unlock conditions are best checked in the in-game collection.

One player wants five-star pumpkins; another built a cottage

In an October 24 Heartopia community discussion, one player said they wanted five-star pumpkin decorations for their home and perhaps a photo with friends in costume. Another shared that they had built a small spooky cottage. These are two individual perspectives, not a claim about all players, but they show how the same hobby can serve both collecting and creating a setting.

A permanent hobby has different dates from the festival

The dates are worth separating. The official Night of Divination festival runs from October 10 at 06:00 to November 21 at 05:59, server time, and requires D.G. Member level 7 plus completion of The Answer Lies Within. Server time is not automatically the local clock in Thailand, Indonesia or the Philippines. The hobby remains after the festival; that does not mean every limited festival reward or shop stays open.

Pumpkin Carving feels less like a deadline and more like room for creativity: share the results during the season, then keep building a home in your own style afterwards. Prices, individual design requirements and what is available on a particular server should be checked in-game.
