# Should you spin the Wheel of Ghorgen or buy from the Halloween event shop?
Community Knowledge When players ask how to split captured ghosts between spinning the Ghorgen wheel and buying directly from the Halloween event shop, the mainstream approach combines a small daily spin quota with targeted shop saving[1].
- Mainstream low-cost rhythm (about 2 to 5 spins/day): Advisors recommend taking 2 wheel spins per day because the first spin is free and the second costs only 3 ghosts[1]. Other moderate spinners budget 9 ghosts per day for 3 spins, or do 3 to 5 daily spins to capture cheap lottery value while saving remaining ghosts for event shop targets or future events[1].
- Minority all-in wheel strategy (6 to 10+ spins/day): A smaller, luck-focused group skips most shop purchases and puts nearly all captured ghosts into the wheel—reporting 6 spins per day, 9 to 10 spins per day, caps of 20 spins at a time, or 40+ cumulative spins chasing Gold and vouchers[1][2].
Recommendation Take the free first spin and 3-ghost second spin each day, then weigh any remaining ghosts against specific quest or Tower bottlenecks in the event shop before spinning deeper.
# Do captured ghosts and event tokens roll over to future events?
Community Knowledge Players often worry that unspent seasonal currency will vanish when the Halloween event ends. Community replies across multiple threads confirm that saving is safe:
- Event tokens carry between holidays: Experienced players point out that event tokens stay in inventory between events, and most major holidays feature an event shop where banked tokens can be spent[1].
- Captured ghosts roll over into next year: Multiple respondents confirm that unspent captured ghosts roll over to the following year rather than expiring, prompting several moderate spinners to hold leftover ghosts for event tokens or next Halloween[1][2].
Recommendation Do not feel pressured to empty your ghost balance on random items before the shop closes. Treat rollover as empirical community knowledge rather than a permanent official engine rule.
# What do players prioritize buying in the Halloween event shop?
Community KnowledgeVersion-sensitive Rather than following a single mandatory shopping list, players buy from the Halloween event shop according to their inventory cap, quest log, and Tower level[1]. That bottleneck-first approach matches the broader Farm RPG main guide and Perk Points progression philosophy.
- Honeycombs (for larger inventories): Multiple players prioritize stockpiling Honeycombs from the shop (sometimes alongside expensive Cranberry Juice)[1]. However, community members note that the bulk Honeycomb requirement discussed in-thread assumes a 4,000 inventory cap, which blocks newer farmers with smaller storage[1].
- Jars of Pickles (for ~800–900 inventory caps): For players with smaller inventories around 800 to 900, multiple replies recommend buying 5 Jars of Pickles to cover a later quest requirement[1].
- Teeth / fangs for the duck pound: Players highlight that 20 teeth (also referred to as fangs in-thread) are needed for the duck pound, making them a practical shop pickup to save future grinding[1].
- Individual Tower bottlenecks (PHR Voucher, Prune Juice): Late-game players target specific progression gates—one player at Tower 235 considers buying a Personal Help Request (PHR) Voucher to clear a bottleneck on puzzle piece #22 without spending Gold on extra quests, while another at Tower 230 reports buying 10 Prune Juice[1].
Recommendation Shop inventory and prices are version-sensitive and are not reproduced as a static table here. Check your current inventory cap and active quest bottlenecks before spending ghosts in bulk.
# What drops from the Wheel of Ghorgen, and is there an official drop table?
Community KnowledgeVersion-sensitive The seasonal wheel—referred to as the Wheel of Ghorgen or jokingly the Wheel of Voucher[2][3]—produces both high-value jackpots and low-value candy streaks:
- Player-reported high rolls: Multiple spinners report landing Gold (25 Gold, 50 Gold, or 100 Gold wedges, with one 44-spin sample totaling about 350 Gold), Heart Containers, Supply and Temple Vouchers, Time Eggs and Mini Time Eggs, Prune Juice (PJ), and Large Nets (LNs)[1][2].
- Candy dry streaks: Several players report getting plain or voided candy across all three daily spins, illustrating the variance behind going all-in[1][2].
- No official public drop table: When players ask for drop rates on the wheel, community replies confirm there is no published official drop table, though an in-game player effort has been collecting crowd-sourced wedge data[3].
# Who is Ghorgen in Farm RPG?
Community Knowledge New players who spot Ghorgen on the seasonal wheel or receive unexpected items in their mailbox often ask whether Ghorgen is a townsfolk NPC[4]. Community replies explain:
- Ghost Borgen / Halloween NPC: The mainstream community shorthand is that Ghorgen is Ghost Borgen—a seasonal Halloween character who appears in Halloween quests[4].
- Gorgon pun and year-round mailbox drops: Another reply notes the name also plays on Gorgon (with ghoul-like art) and points out that seasonal NPCs like Ghorgen, Santa, and McLeafy the Leprechaun can occasionally place random items in player mailboxes out of season[4].
# Scope and limits of this guide
Community Knowledge This is an unofficial Farm RPG community guide compiled from r/FarmRPG discussions. It covers spending captured ghosts on the Wheel of Ghorgen vs the Halloween event shop, token rollover across events, and who Ghorgen is.
- Not covered here: Haunted House unlock requirements, Honeycomb ARK exchange deep dives, Trade Chat pricing, the Steak Market commodity loop, or Perk Points buy orders.
- No invented tables: Official wheel drop rates, complete Halloween shop price lists, ghost capture rates, and quest walkthroughs are not fabricated here. Check the in-game event shop and Library during active events.

u/cloudlet723 (OP): “Hi all, what is the best use of captured ghosts (spinning the Ghorgen wheel vs buying things from the event shop?)” — original post
1xgx42ou/Magenta_Logistic: “I recommend doing 2 wheel spins per day. The first is free and the second only costs 3 ghosts. After that, it depends on how badly you want stuff from the event shop. Personally I'm getting a few honeycomb and cranberry juice, but those are expensive things, so *a few* takes most of my ghosts.” — comment

19rqnbxtvad34u/Astral91_: “I'm using 9 of them each day for Ghorgen wheel (so 3 spins/day) and I keep the rest for Event Tokens (or next year). But someone less risk-adverse might go all in on Ghorgen, it's really risk vs. rewards.” — comment

19rqn69umsatgu/firmastronaut: “I spin the wheel 3-5 times a day. Got a Heart Container, 25 gold and hundreds of LNs. Vouchers and stuff is decent too. Don't know what I should buy from the event shop, my inventory is 2000.” — comment
19rqto181eociu/tiggonfire: “I bought all the Honeycombs I could. I've seen that people are getting gold on the wheel...I'm tempted...” — comment

19rqmuify54g2u/Jmackellarr: “I keep seeing this, but that requires 4000 inventory, does it not? Any recommendations for people with less than that, which almost certainly includes OP?” — comment

19rqzupghv9oku/TheCuriousCaw: “I'm currently tower level 235. Personally I'm thinking about getting PHR Voucher as this is one of my bottle neck to get puzzle piece #22, plus I don't want to spend gold to get more PHR quests.” — comment
19rquusdgapj9u/TheCuriousCaw: “you will need 5 for quest later on. Don't want to spoil it but you can check buddy farm.” — comment
