Pumpkin Lantern

The Pumpkin Lantern is an uncommon lantern that serves as a light source. It is one of the decorative-style lighting items found in Core Keeper’s progression, and its main value beyond illumination is that it can be broken down for materials.

• Salvaging a Pumpkin Lantern yields 2–4 Scarlet Bars.
• This makes it a useful source of Scarlet Bars before the Great Wall is lowered, letting players access the material earlier than they otherwise could.
• Because the salvage result is tied to an uncommon lantern, it is worth keeping one if you want both a light source and a way to convert the item into late-game metal when needed.

In practice, the Pumpkin Lantern is most notable for its progression utility rather than combat or utility effects. If you obtain one early, it can act as an efficient stopgap for Scarlet Bar acquisition, especially when direct access to Scarlet ore is still gated.
