Hallow’s End Guide

Hallow’s End runs from October 19 to November 2, so it’s great to see an assortment of collectibles, an achievement for Pepe lovers and a way to decorate our Draenor garrisons.

2026 brings some exciting additions, most notably many housing decor items, including Scarecrow Pepe, the Apple Bobbing Bucket, and Spidery Witch Hat from inscription and tailoring, respectively. Buy them from the World vendors in your neighbourhood.

Housing Decor

Scarecrow Pepe is the easiest one to collect and may have even spotted him in your collection if you have the WoD achievement A Frightening Friend.

Find Pepe sitting on top of a gravestone at the back of your Horde Garrison or Alliance Graveyard. Clicking on him rewards the achievement: A Frightening Friend. Each time you summon Pepe, there’s a chance to see this Tiny Scarecrow Costume.

The Horrific Head of the Horseman drops from the first Headless Horseman kill of the day. World vendors sell extras for 20 Tricky Treats.

Pattern: Spidery Witch Hat – sold by the World vendor for 20 Tricky Treats. The Drustvar Choc-O-Drops require a Drustvar-themed neighbourhood.

Technique: Apple Bobbing Bucket – sold by the World vendor for 20 Tricky Treats. The Duskwood Caramel requires a Duskwood-themed neighbourhood.

Get a head start by looting the Haunted Candy that spawns near the Tricky Treat Trader in your neighbourhood and completing the quest to loot 10 Candy Buckets in your neighbourhood. Complete the three dailies by the World Vendor shop for more candy needed for the recipes. If you don’t have the right neighbourhood, use the NPC by the Town Board to visit other neighbourhoods or use an addon like Vamooses Neighbors.

The Hallow’s End Decor Specialist sells additional decor for Tricky Treats during the holiday period. There’s also a general Holiday Decor Vendor that sells more decor for gold and can always be found in your neighbourhood shop.

There must always be a Lick King

Arfus can drop from the Headless Horseman during Hallow’s End. Killing him on hard mode slightly improves your odds of receiving the pet each day. You’ll also get The Lick King – a Feat of Strength.

I managed to get him after about 10 attempts, choosing the big Wickerman that applies all four wicker curses at once. You’ll see a few wicker men on the left after you enter the scenario. This is a personal debuff, so you’ll need to click him yourself for an increased drop rate.

Headless Horseman’s Loot

Notable drops from the Loot-Filled Pumpkin

• Headless Horseman’s Ghoulish Charger – skyriding mount (new in 2025)
• Headless Horseman’s Ghoulish Armor (transmog set added in 2025), you are guaranteed to receive a piece of transmog each day with no dupes. There are nine pieces.
• Patched Harvest Golem (transmog set added in 2024), the boss drops a random piece each time he’s killed, except for the back, which comes from the vendor. They have a chance to drop from the candy buckets, too.
• Arfus (battle pet)
• The Horseman’s Reins (mount) have a much higher chance of dropping from your first kill of the day on the same account.
• Windborne Velocidrake: Hallow’s End Armor
• Hallowed Helm
• The Horseman’s Sinister Slicer
• The Horseman’s Horrific Hood

Where to get Tricky Treats

Tricky Treats are collected from dailies and visiting the many candy buckets located near the innkeepers of each continent. Vendors are located outside both Undercity and Stormwind.

Acquiring all three will be an easy task since they are scattered all over your garrison; however, rare versions are few and far between. The good news is, you can kill them off or battle the lesser quality ones until a rare one pops up. As soon as you remove one, a new one instantly pops up in its place and can be any of the three.

• Sack of Spectral Spiders – a chance to drop from the rare spider Arachnis spawned from the Creepy Crawlers decoration in your Garrison. Look for him next to the lava pool (for Horde).

Tip: He can only be looted once a day, so turn off autoloot. He spawns every few minutes, so provided you haven’t looted anything from his corpse, you can keep killing him for the toy.

Spooky Supplies

In Draenor, the following dailies Culling the Crew, Foul Fertilizer, Mutiny on the Boneship, and Smashing Squashlings reward a total of 5 Spooky Supplies each day. This BoA currency can be turned in for one Garrison decoration.

• Ghoulish Guises: “Dress your garrison’s guards in festive costumes.”
• Hallow’s Glow: “Pumpkins, candles and other decor for your garrison.”
• Seer’s Invitation: “Invites an Arakkoa seer to your garrison.”
• Witch’s Brew: “A Pandaren Brew Witch, who brings plenty of fresh brew for your garrison.”
• Creepy Crawlers: “A ghoulish box of spectral rats, maggots, and spiders.”

If you have 5 toons, you can effectively collect them all in one day by sending your main toon the Spooky Supplies.

Note: Extra Spooky Supplies can be converted into Tricky Treats.
