True Sweetness
True Sweetness is a Dark and Darker quest assigned by the Jack O Lantern merchant, part of the The Season of Sweetness quest line. Nothing makes the world happier than sweetness. Thanks to you, the cause of that strange taste is gone, so now it’s time to enjoy the real thing. Bring me plenty of delicious candies, and I’ll trade you whatever you want from my collection. They’re of no use to me anyway. The objective is to bring 50× candy corns. All progress requires a successful extraction — items retrieved or kills made during a failed run do not count toward quest completion. Once every objective is fulfilled, return to Jack O Lantern in the lobby to turn in the quest and receive the reward. This quest requires completing The Taste of Escape before it becomes available from Jack O Lantern. Completing True Sweetness rewards 1,000 Gold, 100 XP, PumpkinMan Affinity +50, 4 Gold. The quest is completed in Ice Cavern, Goblin Caves, Ruins or Ship Graveyard. Merchant quests in Dark and Darker are one of the most consistent gold and experience sources in the game, independent of loot luck on the Trading Post. Completing the full Jack O Lantern quest chain unlocks higher reward tiers and increases merchant affinity, which can affect prices and open additional quest tiers in future seasons. The The Season of Sweetness chain provides a structured progression path through the Jack O Lantern quest tree, and finishing each quest in order is the fastest route to the higher value objectives later in the line. Use the MetaBot Dark and Darker quest tracker to check all open objectives across every active merchant before extracting, so you can turn in multiple quests from a single run and get the most value out of each session.
