Impackt: Pumpkin Patch

Now is not the time to smell hay bales

Mega Pack

Blueprint

From a crafting perspective

Hallowitch Shoes are a decent craft. The component cost can get slightly high at 8 in total, but five of those are from an earlier dungeon and both component costs can be reduced by 1 via Mastery and Ascension.

Nothing special for DI.

From a meta perspective

Kintsugi Beak Hallowitch Shoes being a low tier / levelling item with an offensive secondary stat means it’s decent but you’ll probably rather use something else with a secondary HP stat instead.

From a crafting perspective

We’ve been getting some odd resource combinations lately, so it’s nice to have a relatively normal one on Hallowitch Hat – Leather and Fabric. All resource / component costs except for the Timewarped component can be reduced via Mastery and Ascension. It’s a pretty good leather craft overall.

Hallowitch Hat isn’t bad for DI, but it’s nothing special. You probably have better options already.

From a meta perspective

It’s always nice to see HP secondary armor items, and Hallowitch Hat is no exception. It’s a great choice for your Spellcasters and is a direct upgrade over Lilu’s Secret Hat (fitting, given the same character offers both).

Superior Pack

Blueprints

From a crafting perspective

Jack-o’-Bongo goes back to odd resource combinations, but that’s fairly normal for the Instrument line that’s all over the place with them anyway. Herbs and Ironwood will make it a little difficult to fit into your rotation, but the nasty part is the 11 Living Roots required to craft it. That being said, it can be knocked down to 6 with Mastery and Ascension. Still a bit high, but not as bad.

Instruments tend to be good choices for DI due to being the best weapon type in the game and having strong Attack because of it. Jack-o’-Bongo is a decent option for low-tier DI crafts.

From a Meta perspective

Jack-o’-Bongo being an Instrument with a secondary HP stat makes it a very strong option for your levelling heroes. Just make sure they don’t hit it too hard or it might get mushy.

From a crafting perspective

Hallowitch Gloves are a slightly weaker craft than usual for T15. They have the normal 11 Essence cost but it cannot be reduced. Four each of Timewarped and Jungle components are both about average and both can be reduced.

Hallowitch Gloves have CHC on them which is usually a very strong stat for DI, but them being Gloves tends to drag them down a little. They’re decent for the event but not amazing.

From a Meta perspective

Hallowitch Gloves are a direct upgrade over the T14 Betrayer’s Hands. This means they have the same strength (CHC in a normally low priority slow) but also the same weakness (you lose a lot of survivability by using them). If you’re currently using Betrayer’s and are safe, then swap to these. If your Glove user is struggling to stay alive and deal damage, these will not help and should be avoided.

Summary

• Crafts are about average, maybe slightly above average. Usage-wise, we have one new current tier BiS, one new low tier BiS, one current tier “niche but great within it” option, and one low tier option that will mostly be ignored.
• Have your Spellcasters cosplay as the Good Witch of the _{(which direction did Lilu fly in from again?)}
• Pumpkin puns! We’re out of our gourd, pie in the sky dreams, patch things up, etc.

Final Score

Mega Pack: 7/10
Superior Pack: 7/10
