Background

The Hallow's End event originates from the Forsaken's celebration, to commemorate the day they broke free of the Lich King's grasp. All races now take part in this festival, though many of the activities have an Undead theme to them!

The Event

Dates

• October 18th to November 1st

Hallow's End takes place around the same time as our Halloween, and is spread over the course of 2 weeks.

Locations

Hallow's End celebrations take place in Stormwind, Ironforge, Darnassus, Orgrimmar, Undercity, Thunder Bluff, and any inn. It is probable that this year, Silvermoon City and The Exodar will also be added to the list of cities taking part.

Theme

In the run up to Hallow's End towns become festooned with candles and eerie-looking pumpkin heads and seasonal decorations, such as this huge pumpkin in the entrance to the Undercity.

Headless Horseman

For the duration of the Hallow's End Festival, the Headless Horseman will be summonable in the Graveyard wing of Scarlet Monastery. He is a level 70 Elite, so it's not advisable to try him on your own! In fact, it usually takes a group of 5 level 70s to down him. He drops some very nice loot, including level 70 epic items, so it's worth getting a group together to try and down him.

He also raids villages every 4 hours, by trying to set them alight. If you help to put the fires out, you can get some nice loot for your efforts!

Activities

Trick or Treat

If you speak to the Innkeeper he'll offer you the chance to play Trick or Treat. Select Trick or Treat from the Innkeeper's menu and one of a few things could happen. Here you can see an female Orc changed into a black-clad Ninja for 60 minutes. Another shot of a demon gnome. Other times you can receive a goody bag which can contain a small gift such as a face mask or a magical wand.

Here are some examples of other things you may receive in your goody bag

Apple Bobbing

There is also Apple Bobbing, which will reward you with a [Bobbing Apple], an item that gives you extra attribute bonuses.
