Candy Corn Gobler Nerved?
It was nerfed. It was also buffed.
The odds of getting a buff were definitely decreased. However, the XP buff is now the improved variant that includes a kill streak booster and 50% PvP reward track gain. Also, the Magic Find buff is the improved variant with 33% chance of extra gathering, 10 seconds of swiftness on gather, and Black Lion merchant summoning when inventory is full.
Overall, it is still a great asset and much cheaper than buying these buffs with gems. However, it is definitely worse if you wanted just Karma Boosters or Damage Reduction boosters.
I haven’t used it in months due to how cumbersome it got and the how plentiful xp boosts from wvw are. Also, candy corn has gotten a bit more expensive over time.
For a 300 gem purchase though, I thought it did its purpose well.

I haven’t used mine in ages. Too annoying to be sitting there eating candy corn, waiting out the timer between eating, and getting buffs you aren’t going to be using while the buffs you do want are ticking away and losing time.
Be careful what you ask for

It may have been nerfed a while ago, but I still use mine daily. 2 stacks of candy corn equates to around 4 hr exp buff and 2-3 hr MF buff, including an hour or so on average for the other buffs (some more, some less).
It’s totally worth it, in my opinion. Best 300 gems I ever spent.
