You’d have to have bats in your belfry to not enjoy a spooky good time in Azeroth! Whether you’re cruising for candy or bobbing for new mounts, we’ve got a guide to help you out. This event takes place from October 25 to November 8.
What’s new for Hallow’s End in 2024?
There are new candy buckets to go Trick-or-Treating in this year. They’re all scattered around the new Khaz Algar zones, and you can check out our maps below.
A new transmog set is available, and it’s especially useful for people who want to save a few hundred of their Trading Post Tenders. It’s the Patched Harvest Golem outfit, a recolor of the Trading Post’s Ragged Harvest Golem. If you wanna look like a scarecrow monster, but you aren’t picky on the color, this is a great way to get the costume.
The pieces of the cosmetic set drop from either the Headless Horseman dungeon boss, or from the Candy Buckets scattered over the world. The accompanying back piece and claw weapon are available from the event vendors in Stormwind and Undercity. Those same vendors also have a new set of shoulders and a cloak head piece.
The Headless Horseman
The Lootfilled Pumpkin can also drop the unique dragonriding appearance Windborne Velocidrake: Hallow’s End Armor. There’s also the adorable pet Arfus, Arthas’ ghost dog. You may also walk away with one of the Horseman’s items, including a sword and a helmet.
Attack of the Horseman’s Shade
A few cities around Azeroth are plagued with visits from the Shade of The Headless Horseman. He’ll start setting fire to nearby structures, and players have to work together to put it out. There’s a quest from a nearby Orphan Matron that will teach you how to put out the fires so you can prepare for the real thing.
The Shade is only around for a limited time, and the fires will continue to spread if you don’t work together to put them out. If you all manage to put them out in time, The Shade will come down and engage in a fight. Defeating him leaves a quest item that you can turn in every day.
The cities attacked are:
The Wickerman’s EXP Buff
Find your faction’s Wickerman statue for a sweet experience buff. For Horde it’s in Lordaeron (the fortress above Undercity), and for The Alliance it’s outside Stormwind’s front gate. Interact with the ash outside to throw it on the statue, and you’ll get a 10% experience and rep buff that lasts for two hours.
If you don’t see the ashes, you may need a player to rekindle the Wickerman, which is can be done by talking to nearby NPC’s who give the daily quest “A Time to Build.”
Tricky Treats and Rewards
Below are the maps of the new bucket locations in Khaz Algar.
You collect Tricky Treats by visiting inns across Azeroth and grabbing from their Trick or Treat buckets. You also get them by completing event quests and doing the Headless Horseman boss fight. These can be spent on items from vendors around the Wickermen above Undercity and outside Stormwind. Here’s a list of what you can purchase:
