I am not sure that Hallow’s End is my favorite holiday in WoW… I’m not sure which one is really my favorite… but it is certainly the one I have spent the most time working on. And it has arrived, both in retail and in the various flavors of WoW Classic now available.
Hallow’s End is here
Some of that is because there are a number of events and achievements to run down, and another aspect is that some of the event makes for decent xp for alts. Right now, with Joyous Journeys running in Wrath Classic, a full measure of blue bar, and 10% xp boosting heirloom chest piece, my rogue… Chadwicke of the “Sun’s out, guns out!” theme of early WoW Classic… is rolling 5% of a level with every pumpkin candy bucket he hits. Not bad at all.

But the primary reason I have spent so much time with Hallow’s End is due to the headless horesman… and more specifically, his mount. For nearly 15 years now I have been attempting to get that mount.
201 mounts, but not HIS mount
And now it is time again to try. This time, however, I will be trying in Wrath Classic. I don’t have the current expansion in retail and I am not enthused to play there honestly. The UI is bizarro world now for openers. But in Wrath Classic, with the Icecrown Citadel patch, we now have the dungeon finder back, which means I can queue up all five of my level 80s every day in an attempt to get that mount.
Dungeon Finder is Go!
I have already been in my first group. People were up early to have a go. And, on my first attempt, no mount.
The horseman down but just some emblems of frost… hrmm…
Will the RNG favor me THIS year after denying me for so many? We shall see I suppose. But I have until November 1st to try.
Blizzard has a list of the things going on in retail at the link above, but for the Wrath Classic version you can go to WoW Head for the list of events.
