Hallow's End Mini-Guide 2019

10 posts in this topic

This is a mini-guide for Hallow's End event.

1. The Headless Horseman Dungeon Finder

During the event, you will find the option to queue for The Headless Horseman dungeon finder. Press I, then change Type into The Headless Horseman. This dungeon will allow you access to a cool mount and some 335 ilvl rings. The three following items, drop only from https://www.wowhead.com/item=117392/loot-filled-pumpkin (daily reward from the dungeon):

I have not seen them drop from the boss, at all, during my dungeon finder farm. On the other hand, the rings drop from the boss. So, feel free to farm them until you get two of them to (boost your ilvl).

In order to make the farming easier for you, I decided to share my macros. First of all, select The Headless Horseman dungeon in the dungeon finder, then create the following two macros:

/click LFDQueueFrameFindGroupButton
/click LFGDungeonReadyDialogEnterDungeonButton

and

/run LeaveParty()

Finally, pull the two macros into your actionbars.

Use the first macro to queue for the dungeon finder. When the queue pops, to confirm you are joining, click the macro again to confirm. After completing the dungeon, click the second macro, to leave the dungeon, then repeat. You only need to select the Headless Horseman dungeon once, after each login.

Note that the boss can bug. So, you need to go and kill the head, until it returns to the boss, and then do it all over again. This may take up to six tries. Though, if you kill the head and the boss cannot be killed, you need to leave the dungeon and retry.

You can queue for the boss at a very low level. If you have low level alts, farm the reward bag (for extra chances for the mount). Note that the drop chance for mount is really low. Feel free to farm the bag on multiple realms, if you want. If you acquire the mount and use it on legion, it will become available on BfA.

Note: Do not attempt to merge the two macros above. This will result in you getting a deserter debuff.

2. Farming Tricky Treats

https://www.wowhead.com/item=33226/tricky-treat is Hallow's End currency. You may use it to buy a lot of items:

https://www.wowhead.com/item=33226/tricky-treat#currency-for

Do NOT waste the currency on:

https://www.wowhead.com/item=33154/sinister-squashling (can be acquired from buckets, reward bags, and bought from auction house).

https://www.wowhead.com/item=70908/feline-familiar (can be bought from the shop, for loyalty points).

https://www.wowhead.com/item=37011/magic-broom (can be acquired from reward bags and it disappears after the event).

https://www.wowhead.com/item=33292/hallowed-helm (can be acquired from buckets and reward bags).

Here is what I recommend you buy:

https://www.wowhead.com/item=151269/naxxy

https://www.wowhead.com/item=151271/horse-head-costume

https://www.wowhead.com/item=151270/horse-tail-costume

https://www.wowhead.com/item=163045/headless-horsemans-hearthstone

https://www.wowhead.com/item=70722/little-wickerman

Now, in order to farm the currency, you need to find the Hallow's End buckets on your maps. I have fixed the HandyNotes Hallows End addon to work for Firestorm. You need to download the base Handynotes addon first from:

https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/handynotes

Download the version for current game client(s). If you don't know how, follow Alan's guide here:

http://us.forum.firestorm-servers.com/index.php?/topic/39122-how-to-download-addons/

After that, download my fixed addon (download only one):

Legion Version: https://www.mediafire.com/file/f7rmkuqhhsbrka5/HandyNotes_HallowsEnd_Legion.zip/file

Battle for Azeroth 8.0.1 Version: https://www.mediafire.com/file/e18ejnzcpp5byij/HandyNotes_HallowsEnd_BfA_8.0.1.zip/file

Install both the base Handynote addon and my addon, then run the game and you will be able to see the buckets on maps/world map. Note that once you get a bucket, it disappears from map.

3. The Title

You can finally get the Hallowed title, this year, on BfA. You need this achievement for the title:

https://www.wowhead.com/achievement=1656/hallowed-be-thy-name

Note: One of the quests, that is required for the achievement above, is bugged on legion:

https://www.wowhead.com/quest=29054/stink-bombs-away

Though, do not worry. All you need to do, is finish the following achievement on BfA:

https://www.wowhead.com/achievement=1040/rotten-hallow

Then, you would have the title on both legion and BfA. That is because the main achievement is account wide.

P.S. This will most likely be my last guide, because of the toxic feedback, that I receive from some players regarding my guides (plus the lack of appreciation). If I receive positive feedback, I will reconsider.

The Hallowed title doesn't even work.. because the last "Candy Bucket" you need in kalimdor is in silithus and there you can't change the timeline because of bugged zidormi (bfa)

I did not have any issues switching between old and new versions. Kiwy had the same issue you have, though. Here is his solution to the issue.

1. Talk to Zidormi to change the timeline to the one before the wound.

2. Move to Un'Goro Crater.

3. Log out then log back in.

4. Move back to Silithus.

5. If this does not work, repeat Step 1-4

Kiwy told me that it took him two tries to get back to the old Silithus.

Yes, you can. My friend told me he got it on BfA, and also linked me the the achievement. He has been trying for seven years. You just need to be lucky. Do the dungeon on all your characters that can queue for the dungeon on all realms.
