"As a treat, every single previous Jaxon related minion has a chance of being found."

This appears to be true, as the price for all of them except for Jakyl and Halloeve have tanked. However, I'm disappointed at how every other minion is under 300k and these two still are 9-15 million. I've found Kracklen twice and a few of the others, but not Jakyl or Halloeve. The reward for returning Snowflaik has been the (extremely cheap) Patch for several years. Perhaps next year Jakyl or Halloeve could be the reward instead?

Also, has anyone found the pumpkin that summons Rictus? Is this challenger going to be released as well?

Staff has no control over the prices that users charge for their items, so price is not necessarily a good indicator. Jakyl and Halloeve might just be in high demand so they're not showing up in shops this year. Even if they have the same drop rate as the others, it might be that they are getting kept instead of sold. Now me I don't have a copy of either, if I did I'd undercut for ya. :)

The pumpkin in question that releases Rictus is . I didn't find one, or get it from any quest. I fought all of the Morostide Challengers many past 10 wins, and didn't score one. Other battlers with stronger pets and the desire to make order have composed a post of all the new loots that are actually not new loots but are old Pumpkin Patch items. It is not listed by these users as one of those loot drops, at all.

The minions are also spread out throughout the patch. Jakyl and Halloeve are in different sections than Kracklen. It took a couple of days of only checking their sepcific section for each of them, but I did manage to find both

Y'all are lucky. I haven't found a single special minion yet. (Now watch me find one next time, make me look like a fool lol)

I apparently found the jakyl at some point. He's currently sitting in my holiday shop with the other minions, waiting for a halloeve so I can get the achievement.

I heard a rumor that the halloeve can be found in section 4. Idk how true that is.

Did you put the minion nip on?

Personally, I got super lucky and managed to find Halloeve and Jakyl a few times each this year, so I can definitely confirm they were being given out. Both of them had user shop prices that were closer to 40-50 mil before the holiday started, so their prices have gone down considerably since then. I think the other minions are just still cheaper because they have been going out every year, while this was the first year in a long time that Halloeve and Jakyl have been available in the patch, so they are still a bit rare by comparison. And as mentioned, some people are most likely keeping the ones they found for minion zoos or TCs or something instead of putting them in shops.

I do agree that the Blackened Pumpkin should make a comeback at some point though, that thing is a food item and battle opponent summoning item, so having more in circulation for players who missed out whenever it was available years ago would be nice.

Nope, I keep forgetting that's a thing! Just checked and it's priced so high now I don't want to bother buying any. So to be honest, that one's totally on me. Will try to remember it for next year though. (I wish they'd put it back in the Token Shop, I've got loads of tokens and could buy it a lot easier that way)

What I find really weird though? Not a single special minion but I kept finding books. If those keep their value I guess I could always sell some of those and buy a minion or two, but just like real books, I tend to hoard them, haha

I feel like I'm having the opposite problem of everyone else - I've found Halloeve (without minion nip!) but can't for the life of me find Kracklen. Every time I search the first section, and I even bought the minion nip. Every time I'm disappointed. I have so many owl pellets, please Jaxon. :(

I paid over 42M for my Halloeve at the start of the month, and around 24M for my Jakyl. I bought another set in...either August or September, for 60M total?

So yeah, the price tanked pretty bad - Halloeve more than Jakyl. That can be explained by the fact Halloeve was twice as expensive, so people went for it first.

Am I upset that they dropped that much? Nah dawg, it was part of my big gambit - buy them expensive so that Amber can inwoke Murphy's Law on me.

I can confirm that Halloeve is indeed in Section 4. Found him there a few days ago.

I also want to mention than when I bought my Halloeve, there were 3 or 4 on shop search.

There are currently 38 on shop search. They're 100% coming out on the market. Just because they're not as quickly undercut as recent minions (who have no collectable achievement) doesn't mean they're not losing worth.

Yeah, but I've been unlucky and haven't found them.....

Halloeve is around 8 mil now. Definitely an easy goal to buy after Moro ends.

Just wanted to update this with the good news: I finally found a halloeve! It took several tries, and I didn't even notice until I saw it sitting in my inventory.

I also found it in the 4th section.

[Edit]Make that two!

Holloeve is in Sections 1 and 4 in the patch and Jaykl is in Section 3

They are extremely random even with Minion Nip. I myself haven't found either.
