WOTLK Classic Phase 4: Hallow’s End Holiday Event Complete Guide! - Headless Horseman, Events & Loot

Hallow’s End is coming to WOTLK Classic Phase 4. Hallow’s End includes tons of creepy rewards, activities to take part in, and mini-events for Horde and Alliance to enjoy across Azeroth.

This guide outlines everything you need to know about WOTLK Classic’s 2023 Hallow’s End Holiday Event. Includes the location of Headless Horseman boss, how to defeat it, and more items players can earn during the event.

Activity Time

Hallow’s End Holiday Event 2023 has a start date of October 18, 2023 and is expected to end on November 1, 2023.

So the residents of Azeroth have about two weeks to accomplish everything they want from Hallow’s End. Including completing achievements, enjoying the celebrations, and killing Headless Horseman repeatedly to get some loot.

How To Find Headless Horseman Using RDF?

According to developers, Headless Horseman at Hallow’s End in 2023 may add more story backgrounds and tasks, and may add a hard mode.

As the boss of WOTLK Classic Hallow’s End, Headless Horseman is located in Scarlet Monastery. Players must queue for encounters via RDF, otherwise Headless Horseman will not appear.

The reward for completing this activity for the first time each day is a Loot-Filled Pumpkin. However, only players at level 45 or higher can get Loot-Filled Pumpkin drops.

Therefore, it is very necessary to invest more WOTLK Classic Gold to help you upgrade quickly. Note that you can also take advantage of the code “Lich” to get 3% off. Potential rewards from this Loot-Filled Pumpkin include:

• Horseman’s Sinister Slicer
• Horseman’s Horrific Hood
• Horseman’s Reins Mount
• Magic Broom
• Sinister Squashling
• Hallowed Helm

You can only get a bag full of loot and 2 Emblems from Random Dungeon Finder Tool’s queue once per day. After that, you can continuously farm Headless Horseman to get more chances of dropping rings. However, you are still limited by the 5 dungeons per hour rule. Headless Horseman loot you can earn includes:

• Horseman’s Signet Ring
• Seal of Ghoulish Glee
• Band of the Petrified Pumpkin
• Wicked Witch’s Signet

Hallow’s End Items

There are a lot of items to get during Hallow’s End Holiday Event 2023. These include Creepy Crate, which provides players with Battle Pets, as well as Sinister Squashling and Naxxy.

You can also purchase Creepy Crawlers in Garrison to spawn wild pets, including Spectral Spinner, Ghastly Rat, and Ghost Maggot.

Of course, this isn’t the only Hallow’s End item. Players can get Candy through “Trick or Treat”, and after eating it, various attributes can be enhanced.

Speaking of Candy, players can purchase Hallow’s End Pumpkin Treat from Katrina Shimmerstar or Rachelle Gothena. It has unique effects depending on which one you get.

There are also a ton of Marks and Wands available for players to acquire during Hallow’s End, with our favorite being Little Wickerman. We can purchase these items through Tricky Treat, which brings us to the next section.

How To Get Tricky Treat?

There are many Tricky Treats you can farm during Hallow’s End. Here’s how you can get more Tricky Treats:

• Complete daily missions at maximum level to earn up to 17 Tricky Treats every day.
• Complete the onetime Hallow’s End mission to receive 10 Tricky Treats.
• You can find 4-6 Tricky Treats in Loot-Filled Pumpkin.
• Get up to 3 Tricky Treats from each Candy Bucket.
• Convert Spooky Supplies in Garrison into Tricky Treats.

As you can see, there are many ways to get Tricky Treats. But the fastest way is probably to open those Candy Buckets in Azeroth.

Candy Bucket

During Hallow’s End Holiday Event, Candy Buckets will be available at every hotel. These Candy Buckets are located near Innkeeper, and each Candy Bucket provides a onetime mission.

Players can complete these tasks to earn WOTLK Classic Gold and some Treats. These Treats contain 1-3 Tricky Treat items, and may also contain snacks, masks, and more. 

However, note that to see Candy Bucket in certain areas, max-level players will first need to talk to NPC Zidormi in Silithus or Darkshore.

Wickerman Festival Buffs

During Hallow’s End event, players can earn Wickerman Festival buffs every four hours.

For Alliance, this buff is called Unburdened, while for Horde, it’s called Grim Visage. Both buffs are the same, providing players with 10% experience and reputation for two hours.

That’s everything we know about WOTLK Classic’s 2023 Hallow’s End event. Includes all the details about Headless Horseman and other spooky activities players can take part in to celebrate Hallow’s End.
