Update - Added a video of the creepy crate at the bottom of the news!

Hallow's End 2011 Updates and Changes
Hallow's End is going live today and the event received a couple of interesting upgrades ...


Masks are now sold by vendors
The masks required for A Mask for All Occasions are now sold by a vendor, it will obviously make the achievement considerably easier now that all you need to get a mask is 2 x Tricky Treat



Headless Horseman Loot
Like every year, the Headless Horseman is getting upgraded cataclysm-level loot!

Level Type Spec Slot Name
365SwordMeleeMain HandThe Horseman's Sinister Saber
365PlateMeleeHeadThe Horseman's Horrific Helmet
365FingerMeleeFingerSeal of the Petrified Pumpkin
365FingerPhysical DPSFingerBand of Ghoulish Glee

Feline Familiar, Creepy Crate and Little Wickerman
The new Feline Familiar companion pet and Little Wickerman are available from vendors for 150 x Tricky Treat each!

It also seems that a new quest chain is available in Stormwind/Orgrimmar Inns, completing it will reward you with a nice Creepy Crate!

    Finally they made the achievement possible for people who do not bot (login and talk to innkeeper every hour), thank god.

    It was awfully nice of them to involve Gilneans for the Alliance, though it doesn't really forgive them for dropping their story like a hot rock after the Worgen head for Darnassus.

    The Feline Familiar follows you on your flying mount on a little broom, in case you guys haven't discovered that on your own yet

    Yes. Just like last year.

    Creepy Crate - "Hey look a pair of emeralds!" *sticks hand in crate*. Kudos if you get the reference.

    Back to the OP, I want to know what the hell these murloc and ogre female masks are all about.
    Alot of people on this forum like to throw the "QQ" argument around I see. There's a difference between posting your opinion and whining about something. I merely stated that I liked the old system better.

    I have a concern about the tricky treats.As it is now I have completed everything but the outland candy buckets, and i am sitting at 170 tricky treats, giving me enough for the feline familiar, but nowhere near the little wickerman after that.

    Since the dailies only give 2 or 3 treats each day, I wonder if it's even possible to get those 300 treats needed for it, for as it looks now, I won't be able to get both

    Hey all!Has the Tricky Tricks been fixed now? Been hearing that they are disappearing upon logging off I'm scared to start collecting them to only lose them.

    It looks like every innkeeper has a candy bucket nearby, not just the ones listed in the achievements. Going by Wowhead, Horde has 124 Innkeepers (alliance has 125). Each bucket gives 2 or 3 treats so it shouldn't be too hard (just time consuming) to get enough for both.

    Not a pet collector but both of those are exceptionally good and i think are going to be got on most of my characters (even though it will be rather dull). Was SOOO bothered about the cat until someone mentioned it follows you on a broom while flying which is about the sweetest thing ever

    So you're telling me that if you bought a lottery ticket every single day and after 22 years you finally won...you wouldn't feel like you accomplished anything? That your diligence finally paid off? And for those who feel 'screw that no lifer who logged in every hour'....i think i'll punch the guy in front of me who can afford to blow $10 on lottery tickets when i can only have one, since it isn't fair.

    Could you elaborate on this? I see lots of people commenting in various places that there are "extra candy buckets" but I have yet to find a single one horde side.

    They should give out some more free 7 day play time things for these kind of events. would make it interesting for veterans to come back to the game and try em.
