Hallow’s End is one of World of Warcraft’s many fantastic limited-time holiday events, and it’s kicking off very soon. Full of spooky treats and fun events, the holiday was given a much-needed update back in 2023. With a few new achievements to chase, and other cosmetics to chase, it will be interesting to see if the holiday updates further, to come to the isle of Khaz Algar. We’ll have to wait until the holiday actually kicks off later in the month.

If Hallow’s End does come to the 'The War Within' content in World of Warcraft, we’ll update our Candy Bucket list, as well as all new achievements that players can pick up. For now, here’s what you need to know about the upcoming holiday.

When does Hallow’s End start and end in World of Warcraft The War Within?

According to the in-game calendar, World of Warcraft’s Hallow’s End 2024 will begin on October 25, 2024 (10 am PST) and last until November 8, 2024 (11 am PST). This means, for about two weeks, you can chase all the achievements you’re missing, to pick up the Hallowed Be Thy Name meta achievement. This goes towards the year-long achievement What a Long, Strange, Trip It’s Been which requires you to complete a series of 8 specific holiday meta achievements.

Hallow’s End is one of the most popular holidays in World of Warcraft, for a significant reason. One of the rarest, hardest-to-farm mounts becomes available, just for these two weeks: The Headless Horseman’s mount. It’s one of the most amazing mounts in the game, but it has a terrifyingly low drop rate - around 0.3-0.4%.

However, in 2023, Blizzard added a new quest storyline to Hallow’s End in World of Warcraft, alongside some other bonuses. For example, the holiday dungeon can now also drop the adorable Arfus - a ghostly dog pet. It drops out of the Loot-filled Pumpins that drop in the dungeon.

2023 also brought a series of new achievements, and we may see a few more, now that Khaz Algar is explorable. It would make sense to see at least one new achievement, considering last year added Tricks and Treats of the Dragon Isles, with 37 new Candy Buckets to visit in the last expansion’s content.

In addition, there’s the Day of the Dead event, which is only available for a handful of days - November 1 through November 3, 2024. If that weren’t enough, you can also amass a total of 500 points on your Traveler’s Log, if you want to unlock this month’s reward: The Depthstalker flying mount.
