In TBH: Task Bar Hero, the Pumpkin Candy pet is obtained by defeating 500 Jack-o’ Skeleton Warriors, and it gives +1% gold from monster kills. Those enemies only appear in Jack-o’-Lantern Canyon, which opens after you clear stage 3-10 on Nightmare, Hell or Torment and costs one Jack-o’s Ticket per entry. The official event ends November 11, 2026 at 23:59 UTC, after which you can no longer enter the canyon or get tickets and candy. As of October 24, 2026, I found no source confirming a “Candy Cube” recipe by that name.

What the Halloween Event Offers
The Halloween event is a limited-time activity built around one new stage, Jack-o’-Lantern Canyon. The details below come from the game’s official Steam announcement.
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Event end | November 11, 2026, 23:59 UTC |
| Gift event | October 22, 05:00 to October 25, 04:59 UTC, claimed from the mailbox |
| Stage | Jack-o’-Lantern Canyon |
| Difficulties | Nightmare, Hell and Torment |
| Entry cost | 1 Jack-o’s Ticket of that difficulty |
| Unlock | Clear stage 3-10 of that difficulty |
| Chests per entry | Up to 10 Halloween Treasure Chests |
| Boss drop | 1 Halloween boss chest |
| Chest storage | 40 regular and 40 boss chests |
Your search mentioned October 21 as the start. The announcement text I could read gives the end date and the gift event dates but no start date, so I would not quote October 21 as official. The developers also said a Halloween Update would arrive in October with themed skins, new runes and a relic progression system, though how those systems work was not explained.
How to Get the Pumpkin Candy Pet
Here is the shortest route.
- Clear stage 3-10. Do this on Nightmare, Hell or Torment. Clearing it on one difficulty unlocks the canyon for that difficulty only.
- Get Jack-o’s Tickets. Each entry needs one ticket of the matching difficulty. The announcement does not say in the part I read how tickets drop, so check your mailbox and event menu.
- Enter Jack-o’-Lantern Canyon. Pick a difficulty you can clear.
- Kill Jack-o’ Skeleton Warriors. You need 500 defeats for the pet.
- Claim the pet. Pumpkin Candy is awarded for the 500th kill. It gives +1% gold from monster kills.
Both pet enemy types appear only in the canyon, so you cannot farm them in normal stages. That makes the deadline the real limit, not the grind.
Jack-o’-Lantern Canyon Stage Guide
Each entry gives up to 10 Halloween Treasure Chests, and the boss drops one Halloween boss chest. Halloween chests are stored separately from your normal inventory, so you will not lose space, but the cap is 40 regular and 40 boss chests. Open them before you hit the limit.
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Entry cost | 1 ticket |
| Regular chest reward | Up to 10 per entry |
| Boss chest reward | 1 per boss |
| Storage cap | 40 regular, 40 boss |
| Pet enemies | Skeleton Warriors and Lantern Ghosts |
My practical advice, which is not from the announcement: pick the highest difficulty you can clear reliably. A faster, safer clear beats a harder run you fail, because a failed entry still costs a ticket. If you do not know how many enemies each run spawns, track your kill count across a few entries to estimate how many runs you need.

Jack-o’ Candy and Offerings
Halloween chests have a high chance to drop Jack-o’ Candy, along with gear and materials. The announcement says Jack-o’ Candy can be used in Offerings to get higher-grade candy or equipment, and that it cannot be traded.
Your search used the phrase “Candy Cube offering recipe.” The announcement does not mention a “Candy Cube” anywhere in the text I read. It only describes using Jack-o’ Candy in Cube Offerings, which is the game’s existing system. I found no recipe, ratio or odds, so I will not invent one.
What you can do:
- Open your chests first. Candy comes from them.
- Open the Cube’s Offering screen. Look for Jack-o’ Candy in the accepted items.
- Read the preview before confirming. If odds are shown, use them.
- Do not plan on selling it. It cannot be traded.
How to Get the Pumpkin Ghost Pet
Pumpkin Ghost is the second event pet. You earn it by defeating 500 Jack-o’-Lantern Ghosts, and it gives +1% EXP.
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Pumpkin Candy | 500 Jack-o’ Skeleton Warriors, +1% gold from monster kills |
| Pumpkin Ghost | 500 Jack-o’-Lantern Ghosts, +1% EXP |
| Where | Jack-o’-Lantern Canyon only |
| Deadline | November 11, 2026, 23:59 UTC |
Both pets need 500 kills, so plan your runs to cover both. Because the enemies are both in the canyon, you can work on the two counts in the same entries.
Event Dates and Time Conversion
The deadline is November 11, 2026 at 23:59 UTC. Here is what that means in US time zones.
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Eastern (EST) | November 11, 6:59 PM |
| Central (CST) | November 11, 5:59 PM |
| Mountain (MST) | November 11, 4:59 PM |
| Pacific (PST) | November 11, 3:59 PM |
Daylight saving ends on November 1, 2026, so these are standard-time values. The gift event has a separate window, October 22 at 05:00 UTC to October 25 at 04:59 UTC, and the rewards go to your mailbox. That window closes soon, so claim it first.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Waiting until the last week. Both pets need 500 kills each, and the canyon closes November 11.
- Wasting tickets. Entry costs one ticket of that difficulty, so avoid runs you cannot finish.
- Hitting the chest cap. Storage holds 40 regular and 40 boss chests.
- Missing the gift event. It ends October 25 and rewards come by mail.
- Looking for a Candy Cube recipe. None is documented by that name.
- Trying to trade candy. Jack-o’ Candy is not tradable.
Conclusion
To get the TBH Task Bar Hero Pumpkin Candy pet, clear stage 3-10, spend Jack-o’s Tickets in Jack-o’-Lantern Canyon and defeat 500 Jack-o’ Skeleton Warriors before November 11, 2026, 23:59 UTC. The Pumpkin Ghost pet works the same way with Lantern Ghosts. The Candy Cube recipe, ticket drop rates and event start time are not confirmed, and this is accurate as of October 24, 2026.
