The Hallow's End world event is the World of Warcraft counterpart of Halloween and is meant to celebrate the Forsaken breaking free from the Scourge. The event is much less time-consuming than Brewfest, the preceding world event. You will mostly be running around Azeroth and Outland to visit candy buckets. Other tasks include fighting the Headless Horseman, the boss of the event, do daily quests, or trick-or-treat innkeepers. Parts of the events are opened to all players with no level restriction. As Hallow's End is updated from one year to the other, full completion in 2011 requires level 84. The event itself takes places all over Azeroth and Outland. Some achievements will require significant travel times to complete. This guide starts with a presentation of the various rewards that you can obtain. Then, we list the various tasks at hand before giving what we feel is the right order for completing them. 1. Overview↑topThe Hallow's End event provides with a variety of tasks to complete, which can be broken down as follows:
A number of achievements will automatically be obtained while doing these tasks. The remaining achievements are obtained by collecting and using items. 2. Currency↑topTricky Treat is the currency of the event, you can earn it by completing daily quests and doing various tasks such as killing the Headless Horseman. With it, you can buy almost all the rewards of the event, including two that are not available by other means: Little Wickerman and Feline Familiar. All the other rewards can also be obtained by doing the various tasks that the event gives you the chance to do. The Alliance vendors are Dorothy and Spanky, located just outside the gates of Stormwind. The Horde vendors are Chub and Farina. 3. Date and Timeline↑topThe event is usually scheduled in such a way that it finishes on Halloween's day. This year, the event will take place from the 18th of October to the 31st of October. As most of the items can be obtained by other means that buying them, it is not necessary to complete the various quests and tasks every day until you have reached enough Tricky Treats to buy all the rewards. Also, almost all the achievements can be earned the first day and only a few require you to repeat tasks over several days. 4. Rewards↑topThe rewards offered by Hallow's End are detailed in this section. 4.1. Vanity ItemsLittle Wickerman is bought 150 Tricky Treats. Hallowed Helm is bought for 150 Tricky Treats and is contained in several rewards that you get throughout the event. 4.2. PetSinister Squashling is a vanity pet that can be contained in several rewards earned during Hallow's End. This pet is also a requirement for the Sinister Calling achievement, see the related section for more information. Feline Familiar is bought with 150 Tricky Treats. Creepy Crate is obtained by completing the A Friend in Need (Alliance/Horde) quest line. 4.3. MountsThe Horseman's Reins is a mount that has a chance to drop once a day from the Headless Horseman, the boss of the event. 4.3.1. Temporary mountsMagic Broom and Flying Broom are temporary mounts that you can only use for the duration of the event. Magic Broom can be contained in a chest reward that you get for putting out fires in starting zone villages, while Flying Broom has a chance to drop once a day from the Headless Horseman. 4.4. GearThe Headless Horseman, the boss of the event drops item level 365 rings as well as a plate helm of the same item level:
4.5. Achievements and TitleHallowed Be Thy Name (Alliance/Horde) is the meta-achievement of the event. It grants the The Hallowed title and requires the following achievements:
Other achievements can also be earned during Hallow's End, but they are not necessary to complete the Hallowed Be Thy Name meta-achievement:
The only location to visit that is not clearly marked on the maps is Deepmist Grotto in Vashj'ir. It is located in Kelp'thar Forest, in a cave just south of the place named Gnaws' Boneyard. 5. Main Tasks↑topIn this section, we present the main tasks that you will be required to perform during Hallow's End. 5.1. Candy BucketsThe simplest, but most time-consuming part of the event consists in completing the Tricks and Treats achievements:
Completing the first 3 achievements, will grant you Tricks and Treats of Azeroth (Alliance/Horde), which counts towards the completion of the meta-achievement. These achievements are extremely simple to complete. Go to the designated locations (notice that Horde players seem to have a lot more locations to visit than Alliance players). In each of these locations, you will be given a Candy Bucket quest from the nearby Candy Bucket. The quest completes instantly and rewards you with a Handful of Treats. This item can contain:
The first time you interact with a Candy Bucket, you will be given the Trick or Treat! achievement. 5.2. The Headless HorsemanThe Headless Horseman is the boss of the Hallow's End event. He is located inside the Scarlet Monastery instance (Graveyard). You can only access him through the Dungeon Finder tool. Only level 84 and 85 players are able to queue. Once inside the dungeon, interact with the pumpkin on the altar to summon the boss. The fight is made up of three phases and is relatively easy:
The first time you kill the Headless Horseman, you complete the Bring Me The Head of... Oh Wait achievement. The first time you kill the Headless Horseman on a given day, you receive a Loot-Filled Pumpkin in your inventory. This chest has a chance to contain some of the following items (no Valor Points, though):
Every time you kill the Headless Horseman, one of the following rings has a chance to drop:
5.3. Daily QuestsThere are two sets of daily quests available. The first one deals with extinguishing the fires started by the Headless Horseman before defeating him in lower level areas (for this purpose, the Headless Horseman is a level 11 elite mob). The second one deals with preventing the other faction from ruining your celebrations while disturbing their own celebrations. 5.3.1. Putting Fires OutCostumed Orphaned Matron (Alliance) and Masked Orphaned Matron (Horde) serve as an introduction to this small event and are given by commoners in capital cities. These quests send you to an Orphan Matron in one of the following locations (you choose where you want to go):
There, the Orphan Matron will give you a follow-up quest: Fire Brigade Practice (Alliance: Elwynn Forest/Dun Morogh/Azuremyst Isle) Fire Training (Horde: Tirisfal Glades/Durotar/Eversong Woods). It simply requires you to use a water bucket to put out 5 nearby fires (use the Water Barrel next to the Orphan Matron to refill your water bucket). Accepting this quest unlocks the Stop the Fires! (Alliance/Horde) daily quest. Note that the two-prerequisite quests can only be done once (i.e., they cannot be repeated 3 times, once in each possible location). The idea behind Stop the Fires! is to fight off the Headless Horseman who regularly sets on fire buildings in the village where you took the daily quest (it can be one of the 3 locations mentioned above). Note that this daily quest is not available if the Headless Horseman has recently been fended off. Also, if you do Stop the Fires! in a given location, you will not be able to do it the same day in one of the other 2 locations. Simply put out the fires around the village using the same technique as for the prerequisite quest. If your efforts and that of the other players are succesful, you will be able to engage the Headless Horseman (a level 11 elite). Upon defeating him, a Large Jack-o'-Lantern appears in the middle of the village. It gives you the Smash the Pumpkin daily quest, which you can turn in to the local Orphan Matron (together with Stop the Fires!) for a Crudely Wrapped Gift, which can contain the following interesting items:
5.3.2. Trashing The Other Faction's CelebrationsThe following 4 daily quests are available to Alliance and Horde players:
Each of these quests rewards Tricky Treats and all four of them are available each day. Completing them grants the Rotten Hallow (Alliance/Horde) achievement. 5.4. Obtaining the Creepy Crate PetThis pet is the reward of a small quest line. A Season for Celebration (Alliance/Horde) serves as an introductory quest. It leads to Hallow's End Treats for Jesper! (Alliance) and Hallow's End Treats for Jesper! (Horde). These quests are not related to the Creepy Crate quest line and should only be done for the 10 Tricky Treats that they reward. The introductory quest also leads to A Friend in Need (Alliance/Horde), which starts the actual quest line for obtaining the pet:
6. Remaining Achievements↑topIf you have followed this guide so far, you should already know how to complete the following achievements:
The remaining achievements require you to obtain a variety of items. Each of these items can be obtained in a number of ways, which can make things confusing. Therefore, in the following sections, we give the different sources for all these items. 6.1. Check Your HeadThis achievement should be completed while doing the candy bucket achievements, as you will most likely meet many members from the opposite faction, enabling you to use Weighted Jack-o'-Lanterns on them. This item can be obtained in the following ways:
Note that using a Weighted Jack-o Pumpkin on a player already under the pumpkin head effect will consume the item without granting you the achievement objective. 6.2. Masks-related AchievementsThe Mask Task and A Mask for All Occasions require you to obtain masks. Each of these masks can be obtained in the following ways:
6.3. G.N.E.R.D RageG.N.E.R.D. Rage requires you to kill members of the opposing faction while being under the buff given by the G.N.E.R.D.S. item. This item can be contained in a Handful of Treats, which you can obtain by completing a candy bucket quest or a putting fires out quest (by opening the fiery pumpkin at the end). It can also be bought from Dorothy (Alliance) and Chub (Horde). Battlegrounds like Alterac Valley or Tol Barad are ideal for completing this achievement. Note that the buff does not persist through death, so make sure to have enough items to rebuff yourself until you reach the 10 Honor Kills mark. 6.4. Out With ItOut With It requires you to eat 3 Tricky Treats in very quick succession. Almost every task in the event rewards you with these items, so it will not be hard to get your hands on 3 of them. 6.5. Sinister CallingSinister Calling requires you to obtain two items: Sinister Squashling and Hallowed Helm. These two items can be obtained as follows:
6.6. That Sparkling SmileThat Sparkling Smile requires you to obtain and use a Tooth Pick. This item is contained only in Handful of Treats, which you obtain by interacting with Candy Buckets. It is also sold by Dorothy (Alliance) and Chub (Horde). 6.7. The MasqueradeThe Masquerade requires you to ask players to use various Hallowed Wands on you. These wands are obtained in the following ways:
A common way to do this achievement is to use the trade channel to ask for a Wand cast exchange with other players (if they have a wand you need and you have a wand they need) or to simply offer gold for Wand casts. 7.
