Elshimo is under beastmen control so I had to try Dabih in Ru'Lude. I was worried at first that I might have to wait forever but she was selling them when I got there:Waning Gibbous (71%), 21:33 Watersday.
I dont know about how hard it is to get these pumpkins from the jeuno girl, but i got lucky i guess and she was seeling them when i went.
it was Iceday, first quarter moon 48%, and around 6:00. Lowladns are under Beastman control, which is why i had to try her. I stocked up like mad, just in case this really is a hard sell to get.
Ok, here is what I got Elshimo Lowlands Sandy control So I went to port sandoria and got em for 95g I never would have thought that buying depended on moon phase or anything but it was waning Gibbous (93%) on lightsday if that helps anyone...
I tried looking for ogre pumpkin on ALL the element days(fire, wind, ice, etc) and still have not seen the ogre pumpkin for sale. Sandoria is first, Bastok + Windy are alliances, and Elshimo Lowland and Highlands are taken over by beastmen.
Interesting observation regarding her selling Ogre Pumpkins.
I'm currently trying to synth Pumpkin Pies to cap to 85 and elshimo is under beastman control, so I've been looking for them for several days.
I recently began to AH exclusively in Ru'lude because its just so much more peaceful, yesterday while standing around looking for armor, on my log window she made an announcement that said:
My new shipment came in, talk to me and I can show you what we have.
So I go check and sure enough she had the pumpkins.
It was Tuesday around 3:15 (not exact) pm PST earth time, Iceday around 16:00 or so 19% moon vanadiel. So it surely wasn't firesday when she started selling them... I suppose it is random, or correlates to the vanadiel season or something (I should have checked what the month-day-year of vanadiel was).
But since I will usually be checking the AH in ru'lude, I hopefully will come across her announcement more often.
*edit* Oh yeah, and 3 vanadiel days later, she still had them for sale- but then I had to leave the Jeuno area so I could not check how long she would carry them- another thing I hope to observe a bit later.
Ok I am almost pretty sure that the Mithra girl sells these ONLY on Firesday. After reading everything here, this was the only time the girl sold pumpkins.
On Carbuncle, Bastok is in last and people from Windy (in 1st) couldn't buy it from my LS. Neither could friends from Sandy. I have lvl 8 fame so fame has nothing to do with these pumpkins as someone with lvl 4 fame bought them a few weeks ago on my friend's list. I started on Watersday and checked every day, checking the moon (which was about 50% each day) and by Firesday, the girl finally sold pumpkins. I guess this is the solution to the problem.
Dabih didn't have pumpkins for me for a few days, I remember the moon was below 50%. Today, she has them. Waxing Gibbous 67% when I got some. The conquest info did not change at all, so...it's not that.
My theory is that it has something to do with moon phase, perhaps 50%+, maybe even just waxing gibb-full moon only.
Easily wrong, just my current hypothesis. Maybe it's day of the week instead. It was firesday when I got the pumpkins, and I hadn't tried yet on a firesday.
Only time I remembered seeing her with the pumpkins was back when it was around the time of Halloween. I'm from San d'Oria but I'm not sure on what rank San d'Oria was at the time in the conquest but I did remember seeing her hold the pumpkins when the Halloween event was starting up.
currently, sandy is in control of the elshimo region.
the npc in jeuno currently does not sell these to me because bastok is 3rd in the conquest rank. if bastok was second or first she would sell these to me b/c i'm from bastok. who controls the elshimo region has nothing to do with when she sells it to you. as long as your city isn't in last place she will sell the pumpkins to you.
this is just what i've noticed. if you can prove this wrong please do so and we can think of more possibilities...
*edit* ok, now i'm very confused. bastok is currently 2nd in the conquest now (i'm bastokan) and the npc in jeuno still won't sell the pumpkins to me...so my idea above is totally shot down...
beastmen currently control the lowlands and sandy currently controls the uplands...
As someone said, this is sold in Ru'Lude Gardens. The NPC name is Dabih Jajalioh and she is below the AH (F-9). I'm looking at her wares right now and she sells the pumpkin for 96 gil (max fame?) along with some flowers and chamomile. Lower Elshimo is currently beastmen control so possibly that is the trigger.
If it's from the Elshimo Region, that means only when a city has control over the region can these be sold by NPCs in towns. If no regional control is made, then no pumpkins.
Although i think Kazahm sells them by the dock? Unconfirmed. As far as I can remember, they have: Pineapples, Kurur Beans, and a few others, just don't remember what they were.
