Hallow’s End celebrates the break of the Forsaken from the Scourge.
Fun and mischief reign as the Innkeepers of Azeroth give treats, and tricks, to whomever asks.


The spookiest time of year has arrived once more, and the Headless Horseman rides forth to strike terror into the hearts and minds of Azeroth’s citizens.

When: October 18–November 1
Where: Trick-or-Treat throughout the inns of Azeroth, Northrend, Pandaria, Outland, Draenor, and the Broken Isles (Dalaran) for tasty treats and currency to buy Hallow’s End delights.

All together now! —the Headless Horseman is back to set fire to Razor Hill and Goldshire once more. You’ll need to lend a hand on the bucket brigade to put them out and face the infamous rider.

Prepare yourselves, the bells have tolled! Shelter your weak, your young and your old! Each of you shall pay the final sum. Cry for mercy, the reckoning has come! - The Headless Horseman

It would be a lovely time of year to take a stroll through the Scarlet Monastery’s Graveyard if the Headless Horseman hadn’t decided to make it his new lair. If you're lucky and succeed in routing this menace from within, you may ride off with his steed.

Throughout Hallow’s End, characters level 10-60 will be able to queue up for this ghoulish encounter in the Dungeon Finder.

This year you’ll be able to exchange your Tricky Treats for a newly added toy:
  • The Headless Horseman’s Hearthstone


Head to Val’sharah to undertake a quest that begins with the Hag of the Crooked Tree in Bradensbrook. Follow the tale through to its culmination and you’ll receive some Tricky Treats and a chance of receiving one of four utterly bewitching hats.


  • Hat of the First Sister
  • Hat of the Second Sister
  • Hat of the Third Sister
  • Hat of the Youngest Sister

    I think ilevel should go even higher to be on par with heroic raids. It is catch up gear after all. It won't affect l33t wannabe raiders, like ones crying every time someone suggests to help players with bad gear. It wouldn't even compete with weekly chest rewards, but it will help players who are stuck with low gear.
    so you think a dungeon which takes about a minute to complete should reward the same ilvl gear as raids? no. just no. it's also not meant to be catch-up gear, the catch-up gear is elsewhere

    Judging by the responses not a single player is excited by these events generally. They are completely useless for the majority of players, casuals included. Another example of an out of touch dev team. The seasonal events are just regurgitated from the past with nothing to see or obtain. Just take a look at other MMOs that make events, they actually have impact. It's like a sale with 1% discount, why even make a sale if nothing is on sale anyway? It's really comical at this point with WoW if you compare it to other MMOs.

    Oh yeah, gear from 3 minute event should be 230 cause gearing is so hard nowadays /s.

    Ah....Hallow's End.....another year of disappointment in not getting the Horsemans Mount. Been farming the damn thing since the candle days, and it's not dropped for me once. I've actually been in a group where the mount dropped for the other 4, but not me. RNJesus hates me

    Normal is 226 World Quests are dropping 213-220 for me so why would you care if World Quest quality loot drops from a Holiday event is the real question.

    I feel you. It took me 14 years and over 1000 attempts to get this damn thing but it just happened today. Keep on trying!
