Terraria – Do some items make the Blood Moon event more common

Right now the console version has a number of exclusive items, although there is some information on an update coming for PC in the near future. Because the game updates aren't parallel it's impossible to say which one is better in terms of content, but that's the state of things right now.

Halloween Mode specific items:

NPCs:

• The Merchant: sells a sickle for 1 gold. When used to cut grass, it harvests hay.
• The Arms Dealer: sells the nurse's outfit (hat, shirt, pants), 3 gold per item.
• Witch Doctor: sells the cauldron for 1.5 gold. This is basically a re-skinned cooking pot.

Drops:

• Bloody Machette, a harpoon category weapon. This has a .05% drop chance.
• Bladed Glove, a claw weapon with high knockback. This is also a .05% drop chance.
• Goodie Bags, of course. They drop 1.25% of the time.

The only other difference in Halloween Mode is that pumpkins grow naturally on grass surfaces. You can now buy pumpkin seeds year round though, so you'll always have access to pumpkins if you have money to spend.
