Day of the Dead '15

Super short Holidays deserve super short guides! Day of the Dead is a three-day Holiday, so only a tad bit longer than Pirate's Day, but not quite a full week like most of the other holidays. It runs from November 1st through the 3rd, just like its real-world counterpart Día de Muertos or Day of the Dead. Both the real version and the in-game version immediately follow Halloween/Hallow's End. This holiday is a celebration of remembrance of those who have already passed on, all in support of their spiritual journey.

Before 2013, this holiday didn't really have a whole lot going for it. It was originally a small questline to obtain a temporary pet and receive a lower-tiered cooking recipe and nothing more. Now though, there is a little bit more to it and that dastardly little marionette is now a permanent battle pet.

Much like the Pirate's Day guide and the Harvest Festival guide, I will not be doing a post-guide for this holiday.

There is only one quest to take part in during this holiday and its location is different depending on your race and faction. The quest can only be started at your RACE's respective capital, Shattrath, or Dalaran. Pandaren can only complete the quest at Shattrath or Dalaran. It can also only be done once, so if you've completed it before, you will not be able to do it again. Luckily for you, if you did it before 2013, it was reset so that you could get the pet.

• The Grateful Dead: You're going to need to cook up some Bread of the Dead with Simple Flour and Ice Cold Milk, so grab some of that before you head to the graveyard. Pick up the Recipe: Bread of the Dead from Chapman, alongside an Orange Marigold or Bouquet of Orange Marigolds. Cook the bread up at the special cooking fire there. Use the flowers inside the graveyard. Speak with a Cheerful Spirit of your corresponding race/location and give them the Bread of the Dead you just made.
• Macabre Marionette

Be sure to take a second to dance with Catrina nearby, as this will unlock one of the few achievements that this holiday has available. Dancing with her also grants you he Honor the Dead buff that transform you into Catrina or Chapman, depending on your gender. Catrina is based off of La Calavera Catrina, if you'd like to read up more on that.

Chapman <Day of the Dead Vendor>

• Whimsical Skull Mask: 5 copper
• Orange Marigold: 10 copper
• Candy Skull: 25 copper
• Spirit Candle: 30 copper
• Recipe: Bread of the Dead:  20 silver
• Bouquet of Orange Marigolds: 1 gold
• "Blooming Rose" Contender's Costume: 100 gold
• "Night Demon" Contender's Costume: 100 gold
• "Purple Phantom" Contender's Costume: 100 gold
• "Santo's Sun" Contender's Costume: 100 gold
• "Snowy Owl" Contender's Costume: 100 gold
• These contender's costumes were all transformed into Toys for the 2015 holiday.

Using any of the five Contender's Costumes Toys will grant you a 10 minute buff with a 1 minute cooldown. Donning these special costumes will grant you a set of random abilities (Quick Punch, Strong Sweep, Jump Attack) that can only be used on other players who are also wearing the Contender's Costumes. There is a set of achievements linked to battling it out with these Costumes on, so find a group of people looking for a smack-down and feel free to go ham. You can and will die while wearing these, but you will suffer no durability as long as the buff is active when you go down. Dueling seems to be the only effective way to actually kill someone.

With all of that out of the way, it's time to talk about the available achievements for this holiday that you can get. There's no over-arching meta achievement or title for this one.

• Dead Man's Party: Simply dance with Catrina in any graveyard.
• To the Afterlife: Don your favorite Contender's Costume and beat someone up!
• Vientos!: You thought you were done after one? Get back in there for 20 more!
• Calavera: You got 20, but can you get 50? Keep at it!
• Please note that none of the achievements related to the Contender's Costumes require the Holiday to be active for completion.

And now for the one and only battle pet!

• Macabre Marionette - Undead, Uncommon, Breed 7; H/P
• Level 1: Macabre Maraca, Level 2: Death and Decay, Level 4: Dead Man's Party, Level 10: Bone Bite, Level 15: Siphon Life, Level 20: Bone Barrage

Post-Hallow's End '15

I did not designate as much time as I could have to this event, but I did manage to get a lot of things done that I needed to get done to make sure I got everything obtainable from the event. Rust was actually put on hold, unlike last month, so we were all good to take part in lots of entertaining holiday event shenanigans. Least I didn't have to farm for the mount like some of you did! (And still do!)

Blizzard stated that the event was going to end at 3:00 PM server time, but they pulled it at 2:00 PM when they pushed Day of the Dead live, so I didn't get as much finished on the lower level toons as I expected with one less hour.

Paragon the Warrior: Hallowed of '08. Obtained the Exquisite Costume Set: "Deathwing" and the Sack of Spectral Spiders.
Railene the Paladin: Hallowed of '09.

Hallow's End '15

Much like the Brewfest guide, this Holiday has been around since forever and I've never managed to get around to having enough free time available to write out a whole guide for the event. I've done a post-event guide for it before, but never one for the entire event. That changes this year! Especially since the last guide was when mounts and pets were not account-wide, and when my rogue was still a dude. So.. Yeah.

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!

This in-game Holiday starts well in advance of the Holiday it is based on, but ends around the time that the real-deal takes place. This year Hallow's End runs from October 18th through November 1st. If the name itself doesn't give it away, this particular Holiday is based off of Halloween, or Samhain, or All Saint's Day, etc, etc. Hallow's End is all about collecting candy, putting out fires, and beating up a man with no head. Repeatedly. All for the purpose of collecting Tricky Treat, which is the main currency for this Holiday. There are also tons of changes this year, so I have a lot to tell you!

As with many of the other Holidays represented on Azeroth, Hallow's End has its own holiday boss; The Headless Horseman. As with all of the other holiday bosses, you are required to be at the level cap to be able to access the boss encounter. (You used to be able to cheat the system on this one and run it as a super low level, this has been corrected. Sorry lowbies!) I will include all of the ins-and-outs of this encounter once we hit that particular section of the guide, but as always, we're starting off with the available quests and dailies!

As with all Holidays, your friendly everyday Commoners located in all capital cities will offer you just the right bread crumb quest to get you to where you need to go to get things rolling.

• Costumed Orphan Matron/Masked Orphan Matron: The Costumed Orphan Matron is standing outside of Goldshire in the Elwynn Forest, outside Kharanos in Dun Morogh, or Azure Watch on Azuremyst Isle for the Alliance. The Masked Orphan Matron is standing outside Razor Hill in Durotar, Falconwing Square in the Eversong Woods, or Brill in the Tirisfal Glades. They offer situational quests:
• Fire Brigade Practice/Fire Training: Before the Shade of the Horseman event, you might want to learn how to use the water buckets effectively. There are some tiny wickermen set up nearby that are almost constantly on fire. Throw pails of water on them until you've put out five (5) fires.
• 1 Tricky Treat
1. "Let the Fires Come!"/"Let the Fires Come!": If the village you are at is not currently under attack by the Shade of the Horseman, this will initiate that event so you can complete the quest. Make sure that there are other people nearby as it is almost impossible to complete this event solo. Use the bucket of water nearby to assist others in putting out the fires on all the burning buildings before the Shade finishes his rhyme.
• 1 Tricky Treat
• 1 Weighted Jack-o'-Lantern
2. Stop the Fires!/Stop the Fires!: If the village you are at is already under attack by the Shade of the Horseman, then the local Matron will offer this quest instead, which is just an already initiated event quest with the same objective. Use the water bucket nearby to put out all of the fires on all of the buildings before the Shade finishes his rhyme.
• 1 Tricky Treat
• 1 Weighted Jack-o'-Lantern
• Smash the Pumpkin/Smash the Pumpkin: If the battle is won and you have defeated the flames and the shade, then a Large Jack-o'-Lantern is the conclusion. Even if you don't help with the fires or the fight, you can still gain access to this step of the quest. Smash it, gain the Scorched Holy Symbol and give it to your local Matron for your reward.
• Crudely Wrapped Gift: This is the list of possible loot, you are only ever guaranteed the first two on the list here, and if you don't get those, you have some of the worst luck.
• 3-5 Weighted Jack-o'-Lantern
• Handful of Treats
• Randomized loot. Always contains x2-3 Tricky Treat.
• Magic Broom - Instant cast mount. Use and abuse this while doing your water buckets while saving the towns. It will definitely help. Sadly, it is a limited duration mount, so you won't be keeping it.
• Folded Letter - Fanmail~

Back at Stormwind and Undercity, there are small festival centers set up outside the main gates of these two capitals. This is where the rest of your dailies are going to be picked up so you can continue to gather the ever-necessary Tricky Treat.

• Stink Bombs Away!/Stink Bombs Away!: Gretchen Fenlow and Candace Fenlow need your assistance! Speak with their sisters Gertrude Fenlow and Crina Fenlow to take their trusty broom and fly over the Undercity (as Alliance) or Stormwind (as Horde) and drop these foul smelling stink bombs on all those who pass!
• 2 Tricky Treat
• Clean Up in Stormwind/Clean Up in Undercity: After drenching your enemy's city in stink bombs, it's now time to clean up your own city. Take the Arcane Cleanser/Arcane Cleanser and run through town, blasting it over the stinky residue left behind.
• 3 Tricky Treat
• A Time to Gain/A Time to Build Up: Celestine of the Harvest wants to show you the power of the Wickerman during Hallow's End by lighting the nearby Wickerman ablaze, granting you the experience and reputation buff Unburdened. Darkcaller Yanka, on the other hand, wants you to ignite the Wickerman and spread Wickerman Ashes across your face as a show of the never ending fight against oppression, granting you the experience and reputation buff Grim Visage. Both of these buffs last for two hours and can be renewed at the Wickerman free of cost, without repeating the quest. They also stack with other buffs of the same kind.
• 1 Tricky Treat
• A Time to Lose/A Time to Break Down: Keira wants you to swing by the Undercity with her Dousing Agent and quench the fires of the Horde's Wickerman. Darkcaller Yanka wants you to put your newly found appreciation of anti-oppression and use her Dousing Agent on the Alliance's Wickerman.
• 3 Tricky Treat

There is a single-time quest that can still be completed for an additional 10 Tricky Treat. It involves traveling to multiple capital cities to get a particular piece of candy from the innkeepers at each town. We'll start with the Alliance quest first

• Hallow's End Treats for Jesper!: Jesper can't go trick-or-treating ever since Deathwing's attack back during the Cataclysm, but he does still want some candy. He'll even trade you the candy he has for a particular set of candy from the the capital city innkeepers. His candy is better.. For you anyway.
• Flexing for Nougat: Innkeeper Allison of the Gilded Rose Inn in Stormwind likes to give out Stormwind Nougat for those who prove to be strong. Show her just how strong you are and even you might receive some candy.
• Incoming Gumdrup: Talvash del Kissel isn't even an innkeeper in Ironforge, but.. He does have the candy you need. Prove that you're the little engine that could and he'll hand over the delicious Gnomeregan Gumdrop.
• Chicken Clucking for a Mint: Innkeeper Firebrew of the Stonefire Tavern in Ironforge doesn't like people who back down from a challenge. You're no feather-weight, though, and won't chicken out. That Ironforge Mint is as good as yours.
• Dancing for Marzipan: Innkeeper Saelienne of the Inn in Darnassus enjoys a good dance or two, but will only share her Darnassus Marzipan with those who don't have two left feet. She might have a few problems, but your moves are definitely not one of them. 
• Return to Jesper in Stormwind to trade in your four candies for his 10 Tricky Treat.
• Hallow's End Treats for Spoops!: Spoops isn't allowed to trick-or-treat because the Matron won't let him, but he's got a sweet tooth that can only be satisfied with certain candy from other capital cities. He's got some candy already, and he'll even trade you less for more if you can end his sweet tooth cravings.
• Flexing for Nougat: Innkeeper Gryshka of the Broken Tusk Inn in Orgrimmar likes to give out Orgrimmar Nougat for those who prove to be strong. Show her just how strong you are and even you might receive some candy.
• Incoming Gumdrup: Kali Remik isn't even an innkeeper in Orgrimmar, but.. He does have the candy you need. Prove that you're the little engine that could and he'll hand over the delicious Darkspear Gumdrop.
• Chicken Clucking for a Mint: Innkeeper Norman of the inn in Undercity doesn't like people who back down from a challenge. You're no feather-weight, though, and won't chicken out. That Undercity Mint is as good as yours.
• Dancing for Marzipan: Innkeeper Pala of the Bridge to Hunter Rise Inn in Thunder Bluff enjoys a good dance or two, but will only share her Thunder Bluff Marzipan with those who don't have two left feet. She might have a few problems, but your moves are definitely not one of them. 
• Return to Spoops in Undercity for a advantageous trade-in for his 10 Tricky Treat.

New to this year's questing is a set of dailies that offer up a new currency called Spooky Supplies. This currency is used for a new vendor in your garrison that lets you decorate your garrison accordingly. Izzy Hollyfizzle showed up during Brewfest to present her decorative selection, but there were no decorations available at the time for Brewfest. She comes to us now during Hallow's End with the real deal. All of these quests take place on the Isle of Shadows in Shadowmoon Valley. Keep an eye out for the Coin of Many Faces Toy, as it can drop off of any Bonefleet crew member.

• Culling the Crew: Take the fight to the Bonefleet! Slay twelve (12) of the crewmen on the Boneship.
• 1 Spooky Supplies
• Foul Fertilizer: The Bonefleet is trying to sow their dread crops. Destroy eight (8) kegs of their Dread Fertilizer.
• 1 Spooky Supplies
• Mutiny on the Boneship: Defeat the leader of the Bonefleet. Kill Captain Bonerender.. Again.
• 2 Spooky Supplies
• Smashing Squashlings: Some of their dread crop has sprouted, destroy this putrid vegetation. Smash six (6) Growing Squashlings.
• 1 Spooky Supplies

There's one more quest line that needs to be done for Hallow's End before you can embark on your mission across the worlds for Candy Buckets and Tricky Treats. It's going to be a little tricky.. A little creepy.. But the reward is definitely a.. Crate. As always, Alliance first.

• A Friend in Need: Gretchen Fenlow is worried about a friend of hers. Head over to the Gilded Rose to check in on Anson Hastings. This is just a breadcrumb quest, it can be easily skipped, but since you're talking to Gretchen about dailies anyways, why not pick it up?
• Missing Heirlooms: Anson's waiting on his belongings to arrive from Theramore, but he hasn't heard anything yet. Seek out the Hired Courier to find out where his belongs are.
• Fencing the Goods: You find a dead courier and no sign of the luggage. Follow the mysterious trail of spiders to Auctioneer Fitch in the Trade District.
• Shopping Around: Auctioneer Fitch sends you to the Shady Lady in Old Town, where the shadier side of auctioning takes place. Speak with Hudson Barnes there to learn more.
• Taking Precautions: Hudson Barnes doesn't believe Anson Hastings is the real owner of this crate, and wants you to help him recover it instead. Help him create his special concoction by gathering two (2) Strange Dust from a friendly Enchanter or the Enchanting supply shop, five (5) Crystal Vial from the Alchemy supply shop, and five (5) Blood Nettle from the fields north of the city. Bottoms up.
• The Collector's Agent: We know who wants the crate, the loony Archmage Xylem that lives in Azshara. Head to the Cathedral of Light to stop his servant Sanath Lim-yo from making a deal with the thief over the Stolen Crate. Make sure you're not on the quests Twilight Investigation or Cataclysm in the Catacombs, or this area will be phased with other enemies and you will not be able to complete the quest.
• What Now?: With the Recovered Crate in hand, you now get to decide if you want to turn it in to Anson Hastings at the Gilded Rose in the Trade District or Hudson Barnes at the Golden Keg in the Dwarven District. Either way, Anson turns into a spider and immediately dies, but the crate is now yours!
• The Creepy Crate: It's taken a liking to you.
• Creepy Crate

• A Friend in Need: Candace Fenlow is worried about a friend of hers who normally enjoys Hallow's End. Head over to the Broken Tusk in Orgrimmar to check in on Edgar Goodwin. This is just a breadcrumb quest, it can be easily skipped, but since you're talking to Candace about dailies anyways, why not pick it up?
• Missing Heirlooms: Edgar is waiting on his belongings to arrive, but the the courier he hired decided to take the goblin ship instead of the zeppelin, now he has no idea where his things are. Seek out the Hired Courier to find out what's going on.
• Fencing the Goods: You find a dead courier and no sign of any belongings. Follow the mysterious trail of spiders to Auctioneer Drezmit in the Valley of Strength.
• Shopping Around: Auctioneer Drezmit, who is slightly less shady than most goblins, sends you to the Droffers and Son Salvage in the Drag district. Speak with Delian Sunshade there to learn more.
• Taking Precautions: Delian Sunshade doesn't care if Edgar Goodwin is the real owner of this crate, and wants you to help him recover it instead. Help him create his special concoction by gathering two (2) Strange Dust from a friendly Enchanter or the Enchanting supply shop, five (5) Crystal Vial from the Alchemy supply shop, and five (5) Blood Nettle from the Valley of Wisdom. Bottoms up.
• The Collector's Agent: We know who wants the crate, that loony Archmage Xylem that lives in Azshara. Head to the courtyard of the Ruins of Lordaeron to stop his servant Sanath Lim-yo from making a deal with the thief over the Stolen Crate.
• What Now?: With the Recovered Crate in hand, you now get to decide if you want to turn it in to Edgar Goodwin at the Broken Tusk in the Valley of Strength or Delian Sunshade at the Wyvern's Tail in the valley of Honor. Either way, Edgar turns into a spider and immediately dies, but the crate is now yours!
• The Creepy Crate: It's taken a liking to you.
• Creepy Crate

Every four hours there is a small event that takes place at the Wickerman, with a ten minute announcement prior to the event taking place. Genn Greymane makes an appearance to watch the burning of the Wickerman outside of Stormwind and celebrates the resilience of the Worgen. If you are there to witness this event, you receive Greymane's Resolve if you are level 80+ or Greymane's Resolve if you are level 1-79. The same happens on the Horde side, where Lady Sylvanas Windrunner shows up to watch the burning of the Wickerman outside of Undercity and declares it to be a sign of the strength of the Forsaken. If you are there to witness this decree, you receive Decree of the Dark Lady if you are level 80+ or Decree of the Dark Lady if you are level 1-79. Both of these buffs last for an hour and will persist through death.

Alright, with all of the questing out of the way, it's time to take down the main baddie of this event. There is some more to do even after beating him, but it's definitely something that needs to be done every single day to make sure you get every chance you can at The Horseman's Reins if you don't already have it. Before you we go any further, please note that you need to be level 100 to access this boss. You'll have to queue up using the Dungeon Finder tool, since going to the Scarlet Monastery will take you to the standard instance and you will not encounter the Headless Horseman.

To initiate the fight, you have to interact with the Pumpkin Shrine near the end of the pathway through the cemetery. Whoever is the one that interacts with the Shrine first is going to be the one that begins the fight with aggro from the boss. Make sure you can handle the pain, or you're the tank, otherwise back away.

1. Rise From Your Grave (Phase 1): Tanks should immediately Taunt if they don't already have aggro from being the one to initiate the fight through the Pumpkin Shrine. You're only dealing with the boss throughout the first phase.
• Headless Horseman
• Basic Melee - Standard attack on whoever has the highest aggro.
• Horseman's Cleave - Standard boss tanking procedure activated! Face him away from the group if you're the tank, get behind him if you're melee, don't be near his front if you're ranged or healing.
• Summon Flaming Heads - Summons a set of Flaming Heads that explode when they make contact.
• Head of the Horseman - After the body has been dropped to 1%, the head comes flying off as an additional target. Focus this target down. It does no attacks, but it constantly is on the move.
• Headless Headless Horseman
• Horseman's Whirl - Labeled a whirlwind, but more like a Bladestorm. He activates this skill once his head has been knocked off. He will continue to spin until his head has been damaged 30% or he heals back to full.
2. Got My Head Back! (Phase 2): When you hit (or pass) the 60% health mark on the Head of the Horseman, it flies back to the body and he begins his assault on whoever had the highest threat before his head flew off.
• Headless Horseman
• Conflagration - This can be cast on anyone at random, except for whoever has the highest threat. Deals 10% health per second and you lose control for 5 seconds.
• Conflagrated Weapon - Triggered by Conflagration. Adds a chance to inflict Fire damage to all successful melee attacks. Lasts for 11 seconds.
• Fiery Cleave - Triggered by Conflagrated Weapon. Turns the standard Horseman's Cleave into a fiery one, adding fire damage to each cast.
• Head of the Horseman - Focus focus focus!
• Headless Headless Horseman
• Horseman's Whirl - Same as Phase 1.
3. Hah! Mine Again! (Phase 3): When you hit (or pass) the 30% health point on the Head of the Horseman, it returns to the body again and we begin the final split-phase of the fight.
• Headless Horseman - There is no more Conflagration during Phrase 3. We're back to the Phase 1 routine, with a small addition..
• Pulsing Pumpkin - Four of these will be tossed our during the course of the first half of Phase 3. After a few seconds, they are going to sprout into Pumpkin Fiends. If you have poor DPS, you might get multiple waves of these spawned.
• Squash Soul - If one of the pumpkins land on a player, they are inflicted with this disease for 20 minutes.
• Pumpkin Fiend - If they can be corralled by the tank, they are mostly harmless. More of a nuisance during the fight than a real mechanic.
• Head of the Horseman - Knock him all the way down to zero (0) to end the fight for good this time. Pop goes the weasel.
• Headless Headless Horseman
• Horseman's Whirl - Same as Phase 1.
4. Loot-Filled Pumpkin - Only available on your first kill per day.
• 4-6 Tricky Treat
• Magic Broom
• Hallowed Helm: Vanity helmet that needs to be turned into a cosmetic item.
• Sinister Squashling: Teaches the Sinister Squashling battle pet.
• The Horseman's Horrific Hood: Strength plate helmet with an on-use effect that makes you laugh like the Headless Horseman.
• The Horseman's Sinister Slicer: Agility one-handed sword that lets you summon your own set of Pumpkin Soldiers, four at a time.
• The Horseman's Reins
• Can also contain flimsy masks, but only if no special loot is awarded.
5. Headless Horseman (Loot Phase)
• 3-6 Weighted Jack-o'-Lantern
• Band of the Petrified Pumpkin
• Seal of Ghoulish Glee
• The Horseman's Ring
• Wicked Witch's Signet

Now that you've slain the Headless Horseman, it's time for the real challenge of this event. Candy Buckets. You need to go trick-or-treating and boy is it going to be a doozy. You have a chance of being tricked, which nets you a debuff, or treated, which awards you a Handful of Treats. If you haven't yet picked up your flying for Draenor, no worries, as no new Candy Buckets were added to Draenor for this holiday. You're going to be going to every other continent though. If I make time during the Holiday, I will update these maps to show the differences between the Alliance paths and the Horde paths on each continent. If not, we will see updated routes and separate maps for next year.

Are you feeling a little sick from all of that candy you just spent (or consumed, god forbid)? I think it's about time to set all of that aside and start working toward the final apple in the bobbing barrel.

Completing all of the achievements listed below will net you the meta achievement: Hallowed Be Thy Name

• Trick or Treat!: All of your candy adventures start with your first Candy Bucket. Don't be afraid, what's the worst that could happen?
• Tricks and Treats of Eastern Kingdoms/Tricks and Treats of Eastern Kingdoms: If you've made it this far through the guide than you should already have this achievement. If you skipped ahead, well.. Shame on you. Go get the Candy Buckets all over Eastern Kingdoms.
• Tricks and Treats of Kalimdor/Tricks and Treats of Kalimdor: Same as the achievement above, but instead of Eastern Kingdoms, you need to head to Kalimdor.
• Tricks and Treats of Outland/Tricks and Treats of Outland: And again, but this time, you need to go to Outland. Should hit up Tempest Keep and Black Temple while you're out there, maybe you'll get a phoenix or some fancy warglaives.
• Tricks and Treats of Azeroth: This is a meta within a meta and you'll receive this one once you've completed getting the Candy Buckets on the Eastern Kingdoms, on Kalimdor, and on Outland combined.
• Out With It: So you ate too much candy, eh? Tough nuggets. Wipe off your chin and get back to the bucket grind!
• That Sparkling Smile: Use a Tooth Pick to clean that junk food out of your teeth.
• Sinister Calling: Used to be that you had to actually get the Sinister Squashling and Hallowed Helm through a Candy Bucket or from looting them off the Headless Horseman. Not so anymore. You can now simply purchase these two items from the vendors and it'll assign you credit.
• The Masquerade: Get zapped by the following Hallowed Wands..
• Hallowed Wand - Bat
• Hallowed Wand - Ghost
• Hallowed Wand - Leper Gnome
• Hallowed Wand - Ninja
• Hallowed Wand - Pirate
• Hallowed Wand - Skeleton
• Hallowed Wand - Wisp
• Rotten Hallow/Rotten Hallow: Complete Stink Bombs Away!/Stink Bombs Away!, Clean Up in Stormwind/Clean Up in Undercity, A Time to Gain/A Time to Build Up, A Time to Lose/A Time to Break Down to complete this achievement Should be easy, you're going to need those Tricky Treat.
• G.N.E.R.D. Rage: The G.N.E.R.D.S. buff does not persist through death, so you're going to need to make sure to have a handful, or two, or twelve, of these available. You are tasked with getting ten (10) honorable kills while running the G.N.E.R.D.S. buff.
• The Savior of Hallow's End: Save a town from being burned down by the Shade of the Horseman by completing "Let the Fires Come!"/"Let the Fires Come!" or Stop the Fires!/Stop the Fires!.
• Check Your Head: You are going to have a ton of Weighted Jack-o'-Lantern before you're completely finished with this event, so feel free to start tossing them on all of the other races. Once you've Jack-o'-Lanterned! a Blood Elf, Draenei, Dwarf, Gnome, Goblin, Human, Night Elf,m Orc, Tauren, Troll, Undead, and Worgen, you'll be finished with this one.
• Bring Me The Head of... Oh Wait: Be at the level cap and destroy the Headless Horseman in his own dungeon.
• Tricks and Treats of Northrend/Tricks and Treats of Northrend: Continue your Candy Bucket adventures through the frozen north!
• Tricks and Treats of the Cataclysm/Tricks and Treats of the Cataclysm: Snap up all of the Candy Buckets in the zones effected by the Cataclysm.
• Tricks and Treats of Pandaria/Tricks and Treats of Pandaria: Sift through the mists and find the Candy Buckets located across Pandaria.
• The Mask Task: Get a mask!
• A Mask for All Occasions: Pick up one of all of the playable race masks. This used to be so much harder when you actually had to get them from trick-or-treating. Now, just buy the ones you still need from the mask vendors.
• A Frightening Friend: Remember that last stop I mentioned at your Garrison to find Pepe? This is why. It is not required for the meta.

And now for the special bit at the end that needs to be added to appease the pet battlers among you.

Post-Brewfest '15

I had this guide done early, it was even posted on the opening day of the event. I was prepared to knock all of the new stuff out, get that new pet and those new Toys to stack up in my Collections tab, but it all went down hill for me after I got enough Brewfest Prize Token to unlock one of the Toys. I never came back to it. That's what happens when you get your hands on a new game that's very time consuming. (Hello, Rust.)

Harvest Festival '15

Here's another holiday that I've never actually written about in the many years that I've (barely) been running this blog. The Harvest Festival! This holiday was originally the anniversary of the US stress test in 2004. It was not implemented for 2005, but it returned in 2006 as the in-game representation of Canada's Thanksgiving, the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival, or the Korean Chuseok. The 2015 Harvest Festival falls between September 21st through the 28th.

Unique to the Harvest Festival is the exclusion of any achievements. There is no other in-game holiday event that has no achievements. Even the holidays that are a day, or two days, long have achievements associated with them.

The Harvest Festival only has a single quest to do, for either faction.

1. Honoring A Hero: Speak to Wagner Hammerstrike outside of the gates of Ironforge. The point of this quest is to head north to the Western Plaguelands and place Uther's Tribute (different for each race) at Uther's Tomb, west of Chillwind Camp. The immediate quest reward is For the Light!. This item is not soulbound, so it can be traded among your alts, to the Horde side, or even traded on the Auction House.
• Humans leave flowers.
• Dwarves leave a stein.
• Gnomes leave a gizmo.
• Night Elves leave a candle.
• Draenei leave a relic.
• Worgen leave a candle, just like Night Elves.
• Still no information on Pandaren and I did not participate with my Pandaren this year.

1. Honoring A Hero: Speak to Javnir Nashak outside of the gates of Orgrimmar. The point of this quest is to head north into Ashenvale and place Grom's Tribute (different for each race) at the Monument to Grom Hellscream, inside Demonfall Canyon. The immediate quest reward is The Horde's Hellscream. This item is not soulbound, so it can be traded among your alts, to the Alliance side, or even traded on the Auction House.
• Orcs leave a bottle.
• Trolls leave a candle.
• Tauren leave a totem.
• Forsaken leave a black candle.
• Blood Elves leave a vase.
• Goblin tribute is still unknown as I don't have a Goblin. Maybe next year.
• Still no information on Pandaren and I did not participate with my Pandaren this year.

• Bounty of the Harvest: This reward will come in the mail a few days following your completion of the quest. This item conjures up 4 Harvest Bread on a 12 hour cooldown. I have yet to find an exact time frame for its delivery, but I will continue to look and update with that information.
• Alongside the book, you also have a choice of 3x of one of the following items. These are purely cosmetic and are NOT Toys. So use them wisely.
• -NEW- Anxious Spiritshard: Gives your character a ghostly, neon green appearance.
• -NEW- Forlorn Spiritshard: Gives your character a ghostly, neon purple appearance.
• -NEW- Peaceful Spiritshard: Gives your character a ghostly, neon blue appearance.
• -NEW- Vengeful Spiritshard: Gives your character a ghostly, neon red appearance.

With that simple quest out of the way, the only other things to keep your interest in this holiday comes from the multiple banquet tables laid out in front of both Ironforge and Orgrimmar. These tables have four different items on them that the player has the opportunity to react with to gain consumables; Harvest Boar, Harvest Fish, Harvest Fruit, and Harvest Nectar.

1. The boar yields Harvest Boar.
2. The fish-platter yields Harvest Fish.
3. The fruit bowl yields Harvest Fruit.
4. The mug yields Harvest Nectar.

Once you've collected your mass amounts of good and paid your tributes to your faction's hero, there's only one thing left to do. Buy fireworks! Wagner and Javnir are your vendors, and their prices are susceptible to faction discounts.

• Midsummer Ground Flower - 1 Silver
• Blue Firework - 20 Copper

• Red Firework - 20 Copper
• Red Streaks Firework - 50 Copper

Since there are no bosses, mounts, pets, or achievements to be had from the Harvest Festival, that's the end of this guide. Hope you have fun and enjoy your time stuffing your face on all of the bounties of the harvest. Also, there will be no follow-up to this holiday like there normally is, as I have nothing to follow-up on. Do you REALLY want to know whether I went out and collected a book a bunch of times and got a cornucopia on a bunch of toons? Come on now, be serious.

I apologize for how poorly done this particular guide ended up. I wrote it back in 2013, but never posted it and didn't do any real revisions to it this year. Plus, it being published late, doesn't help the situation. Next year, I promise (and hold me to this), I will type up a completely new version of this guide to go with the holiday. Even if nothing changes. Again.
