It’s Halloween in Azeroth and there’s no in-game holiday that I love more than Hallow’s End. Most major holidays are observed in World of Warcraft, but this one is by far the best.
Why, you ask?
Well among other things are the tasty Hallow’s End Pumpkin Treat that you can get by doing a few quests to help the orc orphans collect some candy.
These beauties give you a 20 minute costume for the festivities — it’s random, but always loads of fun.
Then there’s the innkeepers all set up for your trick-or-treating pleasure. Once per hour you can hit up an innkeeper for either a trick or a treat depending on your luck.
If you get tricked, you’ll probably get turned into a bat or a cat, and sometimes even a frog.
But if you get treated, you get a special bag of goodies ranging from candy to flimsy paper masks of one of the other races of Azeroth.
And new this year is the ability to summon and fight one of the kings of fright — the Headless Horseman.
First you fight his full body. Then his head comes off and you fight that. Then they join together and you fight them again. Fun times for everyone.
Even better are the awesome drops, such as the helm of the horseman shown right.
Though my paladin is an extremely well geared Ret Pally, this helm is an upgrade for her and I plan on squashing the horseman’s head until he lets me have this.
He also drops broom mounts, little pumpkin pets, and even a pumpkin helmet so you can walk around with a gourd on your melon. What’s better than that?
The festivities begin today and last until Nov 1st. That’s a lot of time to kill the horseman, collect candy, and dress up like a female draenei. Let the fun begin!
