The Horseman Rides: Hallow’s End is Nigh!
It’s time for Tricky Treats, costumes, and—of course—the return of the Headless Horseman during this year’s Hallow’s End!
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, the Broken Isles (Dalaran), and the Dragon Isles for tasty treats and currency to buy Hallow’s End delights.
New This Year
Macabre merriment spreads as Hallow's End comes to the Dragon Isles with Valdrakken decked out in spooky splendor.
- Bountiful Candy Buckets can be found in all the zones, along with a new achievement, "Tricks and Treats of the Dragon Isles. See below for a list of Candy Buckets found throughout the Dragon Isles.
- The Headless Horseman encounter comes with new challenges, new abilities, new Achievements, and a special hard mode that includes Wicker Curses to slightly improve your odds of receiving some sought-after rewards.
- New Rewards:
- Windborne Velocidrake: Hallow's End Armor (Must be Level 60 and own Dragonflight)
- Arfus Pet: Rise in service of the Lick King, the adorable ghostly pup, Arfus! Lucky players who take down the Headless Horseman have a chance to add him to your collection. Getting him also gains you the achievement, “The Lick King”.
- An off-hand item, Bucket of Morbid Treats, is available from Hallow's End vendors Chub and Dorothy.

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.
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.
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.
