Farmer Tom has returned to Dragonfall, bringing back his fresh goods at unbeatable prices. But he’s still facing a dilemma... his trusty scarecrow has gone missing! (yes, again). Lend him a hand and help reunite them during the Harvest Moon Festival.
He can be found in the Tavern and Town Hub, offering Harvest Bags once per day for 100 gold. Each bag contains a random festive treat with unique effects, ranging from boosts to health and speed, to explosive fruits, popcorn blasts, radish rockets, shockwaves, and even protective grain auras.
