Harvestwake

Harvestwake is Bucketry’s fall season. Pailhaven turns autumn colors, a ghost ship haunts the bay, and there is a whole collection of seasonal cosmetics to earn. Everything seasonal ends on November 30, 2026.

The Harvestwake Collection

Open /harvestwake to see all 22 pieces, what you own, and to wear them.

Group	Pieces	How to unlock
Amberwake armor	Bucket Helm, Harbor Coat, Sailcloth Leggings, Deck Boots	Crate voucher, or 75,000 coins each in the Collection
Fall hats	Acorn, Fedora, Fox, Mushroom, Owl, Patchwork, Pumpkin, Scarecrow, Squirrel, Turkey	Crate voucher, or 75,000 coins each in the Collection
Amberwake tools	Dock Spade, Anchor Pickaxe, Boarding Axe, Captain Cutlass, Harbor Harpoon, Tidefork, Lantern Maul, Wakeguard Shield	Crate voucher only

Armor and hats wrap a diamond or netherite piece. Tools wrap the matching diamond or netherite tool (the Tidefork, Lantern Maul and Wakeguard Shield wrap a trident, mace and shield). Wraps change the look only: material, stats and enchantments stay. To wear one, hold the item, open /harvestwake and click the piece.

Full armor set: wear all four Amberwake pieces for the Amberwake Aura, a drift of autumn leaves.
Collect all 22: unlocks the [Harvestwake] tag and the Amberwake nameplate.

The Harvestwake Crate and vouchers

The Harvestwake Crate sits at Crate Point in Pailhaven (/warp crates). Each key rolls one random piece and gives you a voucher. Right-click a voucher to unlock that piece. Already own it? Keep the voucher and sell or trade it on /ah. Full odds are on the Crates page.

The Drowned Harvest (story)

Nell Marrow waits at Crate Point with a ghost story about the Amberwake, a grain ship that never made it home. A new chapter opens every Saturday at 12:00 PM from October 3 to November 21, eight chapters in all. Talk to Nell to start, and track your steps in /quests (Harvestwake section).

Chapter	Opens	What you do	Reward
1. The Lanterns Go Out	Oct 3	Relight the town’s jack-o’-lanterns, then return to Nell	$15,000 + 50 coins
2. The Harvest Supper	Oct 10	Grow 8 tomatoes, 8 corn and 8 rice, cook a Harvest Supper in a Harbor Kitchen, bring it to Nell	$30,000 + 75 coins
3 to 8	Oct 17 to Nov 21	One per Saturday	Revealed as they open

Each chapter hands you a page of the Amberwake’s logbook. Read all eight chapters for the [Harvest Keeper] title in the Captain’s Log.

The Harvest Tithe

The Tithe is one meter the whole server fills together. Look for it above the bonfire by the bay, or click the Tithe button in /harvestwake. You get an action-bar ping as your points land.

The Captain can rest	450,000	The season’s finale

Trick-or-treat

From October 24 at 12:00 PM to November 2, twelve Pailhaven townsfolk answer their doors. Knock on each one for a treat (Saltwater Taffy, Toffee Apples, Pumpkin Pasties, Ghost Gums, Honeycomb Toffee, and rarely Nell’s Lantern or a Hollow Bonbon). About 1 knock in 8 is a trick instead. Fill your bag from all twelve doors for a Harvestwake key, once per week.

The doors are spread across Bucket Square, Crafts Row, Bucket Quay, Bay Head, the road down from Crate Point and Departures.

Pailhaven in fall

The whole town has autumn biomes and its own Harvestwake music.
Hollow Week, October 24 to November 3: cobwebs, lit lantern posts and townsfolk in costume.
Pailhaven goes back to normal on December 1.

The Hollow Captain

Every night at 7:00 PM until November 30, the Hollow Captain rises in Hollowfield (/warp hollowfield). Deal 80+ damage for $100,000 and a Harvestwake key, with +$50,000 for top damage, +$50,000 for the final blow, and a 3% chance at the Hollow Tricorn hat. You keep your inventory but get one life per fight. The full fight guide is in Adventure.
