Hallow's End fun

Apple Bobbing and trick o' treating are just some of the many fun things to do in Azeroth during the much awaited Hallow's End. Sightings of celebration can be found almost anywhere in Azeroth, from the big cities such as Stormwind and Ogrimmar to the little towns such as Goldshire. Big crowds can be found wherever an exciting event is happening, so if you decide to join in the fun, look for a big crowd and go enjoy yourself. Of course, at this time of year you must be expecting some sort of nonsense or something bad. There's always the tricks the Forsaken like the play, but there's something much worse; you don't have to go far to hear about the dreaded Headless Horseman.

Hallow's End is a holiday celebrating the Forsaken's break from the Scourge many years ago. Their definition of fun seems to be throwing stink bombs at the Alliance in Southshore. Don't let the stink get to you. Fight back with the smell of pine!

If you are looking to get some candy, you simply have to talk to any innkeeper and say 'Trick or Treat!' and you will recieve either a treat bag, or you will be tricked. This candy isn't exactly normal, and it has some odd effects, including: Growing large and your skin turning orange, being turned into a ghost, and other creepy things. If an innkeeper happens to decide and trick you, you may be turned into a critter such as a snake or a helpless cat. Or, you might even lose your head and in replacement have a pumpkin head! How headless horseman like...

Candy isn't the only thing you'll find in a treat bag. There might be a mask representing a different race and gender. You might open your bag and find a female troll mask. Simply place them on your head and you're sure to fool...no one! These masks aren't very realistic, but they are a fun item to run around with. Be sure to use them early though, because within 7 days they'll go poof and vanish. Darn those poorly made masks...

If candy isn't the thing for you, that's no problem. Simply head into your nearest inn and you can find a tub of water and apples. These apples are not only yummy and fun to get, but they can give you some buffs as well.

Every 4 hours a couple of small towns get a sighting of the dreaded Headless Horseman. This is only a shade of him, and therefore harmless to you. But, he intends to do some damage to the towns buildings by throwing fires everywhere! Don't despair, you can help out by speaking to the Costumed Orphan Matron in the town and she'll assign you to put out the fires. Of course, you can't put out deadly fires without some practice first! Before the shade comes, be sure to speak to the matron, and she'll tell you to practice your fire fighting skills with a bucket of water and some practice fires on the outskirts of the town. If you need another bucket of water, simply go to the tub of water and fill up your bucket.
The shade isn't the only part of the horseman left. He still exists, though he resides in the graveyard of Scarlet Monastry...
