so I just spent the remainder of my h'oddments to get more of the candy which summons the pumpkins and well it turns out despite you being able to buy them you cannot summon the pumpkins!
can they at least refund my h'oddments back so I can use them next year?

According to wiki, the items will be converted into regular oddments. They've had event items expire early for previous events. Just be sure to use up your event items for the next holiday event long before the official expiry date so this doesn't happen again.

The Smash Pumpkins special mission expired at game reset Sunday night. The pumpkins stopped spawning at this time, so it was reasonable to expect the gobstoppers would stop summoning pumpkins to smash by this same deadline.

However, the shop should have disabled the option to spend h'oddments on the pumpkin-smashing sweets as soon as pumpkin-smashing ceased. Clearly, Jagex did not do this.

I have heard these sweets will be converted into regular oddments in a couple of days. I do not know if you will get your h'oddments refunded, but hopefully the situation is resolved to your satisfaction.
I've been putting out fire with gasoline! ^_^

Good morning! A hotfix went out a few minutes ago for this exact thing - thank you for flagging it up! You've got plenty of time to gorge yourself on gobstoppers. It's not how I'd start my day typically but hey, it's still basically Halloween so it's allowed!

The date it shows is now correctly confirming when it expires: 23:59 Game Time, Wednesday 8th November, 2023.


Players should now be able to redeem their remaining gobstoppers.
