WoW: Hollow's End Returns!

Another holloween season and another Hollow's End event in World of Warcraft. Naturally, the Headless Horseman's loot has been updated to ilvl 365 but great news to those who need those last few masks for the achievement: you can get them from the vendor.

There is also a new pet (pic from MMO-Champion) - leave it up to Blizzard to make something cute and creepy at the same time. 



The cat costs 150 tricky treats. Now these are relatively easy to come by, my paladin has around 30-odd of those in the bags now. In an eeeeeeevil Blizzard way, these treats can also be obtained in the handful of candy bags from the inns. So in their eeeeevil Blizzard way, they've found how to get people who have already done the achievement to do it again.

A few other things of note:

• Masks no longer take the helmet slot. They instead put a buff with no duration on the character to put the mask on. It doesn't persist through death and is still really, really ugly.
• The new quests are pretty fun to do and the Wickerman dousing WILL get you flagged for PvP. Some horde chased down my paladin after getting the dousing done. no one bothered my Death Knight. Sheesh, not even ganking love.
• The sword from the loot bag has some use even for non-agility users. The pumpkins are now level 85 and they can do some damage. Having my army of ghouls and pumpkins attack a boss was pretty funny to see.
• Setting fire to your own faction's Wickerman gives a reputation and xp boost.
• All those rare items that caused frustration for completionists that could not get their title for years? Those can now be bought by using tricky treats. Not cheap, but now a better means to complete the achievement instead of just pure luck.
