Similarity

Is eerily similar to the Horseman's Blade from World of Warcraft, with the orange coloration and the fact that it summons pumpkins to attack. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Okakeri (talk • contribs) at 00:53, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

You're right, they are indeed very similar. Hard to say whether the Terraria item references the WoW item or if both independently reference The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Jack-o'-lanterns though. NoseOfCthulhu (talk) 12:54, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

Damage correction

I think the damage dealt by the pumpkin heads given here is incorrect. It's equivalent to the sword's damage and can also be critical. May provide proof if needed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.74.69.222 at 13:45, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

Changed it myself already. I did not feel like to wait for a response. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.74.69.222 at 10:31, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

Prefix correction

Is it worth noting that if you get the Legendary modifier, the name changes to "The Legendary Horseman's Blade" as opposed to the regular "Legendary Horseman's Blade". --80.192.14.4 17:45, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

As far as I know that's a recent update to the mobile and console versions. On PC items still place the prefix first. It may be worth noting, but since this change is correct, it may be more worth noting where it's not correct than where it is. Gearzein (talk) 18:02, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

Something's Wrong

I noticed that, under the notes, it says that hitting a critter with the sword will not spawn pumpkins. But for me, that is not true. Since I only own the Xbox 360 version, I have no idea if this is present in other versions, or if it's just a bug on my copy, so I didn't change it. If anyone can explain, please do so.

If you hit a critter with the sword it only spawns pumpkins on the mobile version RaptorWolf89 (talk) 16:40, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

Mistake or not...

I looked at The Horseman's Blade - I don't know if it is supposed to be called just Horseman's Blade. This is because most Items don't have The before it. I just want to know if it should be The Horseman's Blade or Horseman's Blade, therefore I haven't moved it. Profile|Talk page|Contribs (by Myfinalettempt) 18:08, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

Changing gif of swinging animation. (Too Old)

Who will change the swinging animation of this sword? I can't do that beacuse my computer during recording crashes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Redo666 (talk • contribs) at 17:28, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

Uploaded a new one. I'm a bit unsure about the crop, I wanted to keep it mostly uncropped, to show more of the pumpkins' flight. Anyone is free to change the crop. Katrina (talk) 07:17, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

Tip for using statues to farm pumpkin projectiles

Why is there a tip inside it about expert mode when there is no platform with expert mode and this exploit unpatched? Seems like a bit of an oversight to me, though I don't wanna be quick to delete. Also, I am wondering if there shouldn't be a mention of the pumpkin projectiles not spawning from statue enemies in the main section (or at least in the notes section), since the way it is now, it can be hard to notice, especially since it's in a "Old-gen Console and 3DS only" paragraph. Katrina (talk) 07:17, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

Regarding the first question, that is most certainly an oversight. It seems that an editor was doing some page cleanup and updating the page with 1.4.4 info, then merged some bullet points together, not noticing the platform versions contradiction.
Also, as said before, don't hesitate, there is usually no harm done in being bold. SlabFoot20 (talk) 13:40, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

A few small problems with the gif

I think we should add a new gif. first, the enemies are dropping items, and second, it says it deals knockback but the zombies in that gif just dont care. I cant do it though because the computer I use is bad. Overlordrunt777777 (talk) 21:13, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

I believe the reason the enemies are dropping items is because they are not statue-spawned. However, statue-spawned enemies can't be used to demo this weapon because the pumpkin heads are only summoned for non-statue-spawned enemies. Not sure if there is a way around that. NewtheElf (talk) 18:59, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
This is precisely the reason I used naturally spawned zombies instead of statue-spawned ones. I could probably redo it and turn off item drops for zombies, we'll see. --AmsterWikis (talk) 20:48, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
