Hallows End 2017

The halloween themed holiday Hallow's End 2017 started on October 18th and runs until November 1st.  This holiday has many vanity items to collect including the much sought after Horseman's Reins mount which drops from the holiday boss the Headless Horseman.

Many vanity items can be purchased with Tricky Treats and new to collect for 2017 is a Exquisite Costume Set "Xavius" (200 treats), a pet called Naxxy (150 treats), and two toys Horse Head Costume (150 treats) and Horse Tail Costume (150 treats).

Tricky treats can be collected from pumpkin shaped Candy Buckets located all around Azeroth (including cataclysm areas), Northrend, Outland, and Pandarian.  These are usually located in inns. You can also get tricky treats every day from the daily holiday boss kill, headless horseman in Scarlet Monastery, from the daily quest Under the Crooked Tree to defeat Aria Sorrowheart, and from the daily quest Let the Fires Come!/Stop the Fires! to put out the fires started by the Headless Horseman in Brill or Razor Hill for horde.  In order to collect enough treats over the holiday period for all the new items (650 treats) I needed to use more than one character.  It is nice to have new content to do/collect with the holidays as often there is nothing new and I finished all the holiday achievements a few years ago.

I did achieve the 650 treat requirement for all the new vanity items and they look cool:

From the quest Under the Crooked Tree you get a bag Hag's Belonging which contains some Tricky Treats but also has a chance to drop one of 4 witches hats, Hat of the First Sister, Hat of the Second Sister, Hat of the Third Sister or Hat of the Youngest Sister.

My Hat collection

Last year despite doing this quest every day, and its annoying as Aria Sorrowheart does a fear more frequently than my 15 second interrupt cooldown, I did not get a single hat :( This year I was much luckier and managed to get three hats Second Sister, Third Sister and Youngest Sister.  These hats are in my wardrobe but can only be used during Hallow's End event.  I did look cool during this holiday though, I hope to get the final hat next year.
