This is Hallow's End

Yes, it is that time of year again in Azeroth – full of tricks AND treats. Spooky monsters and shenanigans are around every corner, and sweets are bursting from the seams! I love this in-game holiday more than almost every other holiday in-game mostly because autumn and the REAL Halloween is so fun to me. Having it in Warcraft is just as good.

Achievements have damaged some of the really pure fun that Hallow’s End has brought earlier years, but I am not sweating it too hard, unlike some other religious achievement-doers I know. I’m one pet away from the Hallowed title on both my mage and my priest, and this is just from last year. Blizzard really likes making RNG factor heavily into this stuff, but this is no reason not to enjoy the spirit. Many guilds hold costume parties, and I always have an RP event or two to attend in this vein.

What I most like about Hallow’s Eve is the delicious, delicious vanity – I love wands, pumpkinheads, and candy that changes you into stuff! I’m a freak when it comes to carrying around vanity items in my bags so I can change into something different on a moment’s notice. My favorite thing right now is the Hallow’s End candy that turns you orange and huge. I love running around terrorizing people as a gnome on my Amani Warbear, Colbert, when we’re both giant and orange. Pair this with some Winterfall Firewater, and you have an amazingly scary gnome (or three!) on your hands.
