Thanks a ton for your feedback on Feralia's hunt!

A few players have shared with us that they just aren't in a real life position to be getting good playtime at night -- be it from a new addition to the family, a new or demanding job, and more. This was compounded by the green rarity of the dropped items.

We get it, and have decided to ensure all pumpkin pail monsters will show at any time of day. Additionally, the rarity of the items will become "Common".
