How to get Giant Pumpkins?

You won't find Giant Pumpkins in the wild or by searching for them through the typical gathering nodes. Instead, you will need to exchange Purple Scrips for them. To earn Purple Scrips, FFXIV fans must complete various high-level crafting and gathering activities. Such tasks include turning in Collectables at the Scrip Exchange NPCs located worldwide. Furthermore, there are several methods that players can implement in their farming methods to maximize the amount of Purple Scrips they earn. One such technique for Gatherers would be to equip Level 90 NQ gear purchasable from a vendor in Old Sharlayan and begin farming Purple Scrips in FFXIV to transition to Scrip equipment gradually.
