Tomatha: Thanks Tomatha! Yeah, I agree, some of the items will need balancing for the crafting, and if these items do make it in, then the selling price of the crafted weapon will be lower than the selling price of the materials needed to craft the weapon, otherwise people would exploit it like you say and make profit.

itblobboy: Thank you itblobboy! I checked the prices needed to buy the materials to craft these weapons and I have come up with this:
Pumpkin Blade- $51600 (Cost of a Single Battle Axe + Mega Sword from shop)
Pumpkin Bow- $53300 (Cost of a Thorn bow + Crypt Bow of Fire from shop)
Pumpkin Staff- $53400 (Cost of a Nature's Staff + Batwing Staff from shop)
The differences in price between the highest and lowest is $1800 which may have to be balanced out. The Pumpkin Helmet was excluded from these calculations as it is drop only.
Thanks! And agreed the pumpkins are gonna be swamped with players if these weapons are added.

SlayerBlade: Thanks SlayerBlade! and yeah I agree these crafted weapons should be stronger than normal weapons because they take time to create and yes it is bad enough that everyone's massacring pumpkins especially with the spawn rate so low, and right now I think the only way to get more drops is to either have another pumpkin area or increase the pumpkin spawn rate drastically in both the existing areas.

MrGJ Thanks MrGJ! I agree with what you say, and I'm planning to do a redesign on that bow. Right now, the only way to make it look slightly even pumpkiny would be to add different tones of orange to the bow to reinforce the whole pumpkin theme. I considered adding a pumpkin to the bow like I did with the staff and the sword but I decided not to as it wouldn't look as sleek and would look cumbersome, however, I will redesign it so it has more of a halloween/pumpkin feel to it.
