Hallow's End falls upon Azeroth once again, and it's the same old, same old. But the same old thing actually never gets old, because this is quite possibly the most fun yearly event in the game. It's that time of the year where the typically empty and unloved Scarlet Monastery graveyard gets more than its welcome share of visitors and its summoned inhabitant gets farmed endlessly for his drops -- or I should say,
one particular drop. At this point in the game with
Cataclysm on the horizon, pretty much everybody has gotten what he needs from the
Headless Horseman, who drops mostly ilevel 200 gear. With just a few weeks to go before players level past 80, there isn't anything that won't be obsolete.
That said, I have a sentimental attachment to the
Horseman's Horrific Helm, which I have macroed to use with my
Hammer of Wrath, which I have to admit is terribly annoying (and extremely spammy now in
4.0.1). I think I'll be paying the horseman a visit again this year, even though the only thing I really want off him is his horse. What are your Hallow's End plans? Is this the only holiday you need to
finally get that 310 percent mount speed? Perhaps you want that
Sinister Squashling pet? Are you complete with
all your achievements for this holiday -- on
all your alts? Tell us your plans for this holiday, one of the last yearly events we'll see in old Azeroth.
