The 2001 Hallowe'en event was Runescape's first holiday event, during which Pumpkins were dropped to celebrate the occasion. Throughout the day of 31 October 2001, Pumpkins were scattered across random towns throughout Runescape during different times of the day in which a player would simply pick up if they came across the drop. The Pumpkin is remarkable for the fact it's one of the only two tradeable and edible holiday items, a distinction it shares with the Easter egg.
