How to get the Hallow’s End Dragonriding armor for your Windborne Velocidrake

It’s time for Hallow’s End in World of Warcraft and your Dragonriding mount is ready to enjoy the festivities with their own special Hallow’s End Armor. Unlike the Pirate’s Day Armor you’ll need to hope for some loot luck as the Windborne Velocidrake: Hallow’s End Armor manuscript is found at random in the Loot-Filled Pumpkin you get for defeating the Headless Horseman with an increased chance on the first level 60+ character that does it each day.

The Headless Horseman is a holiday NPC that is only accessible via the groupfinder for dungeons. The option for Headless Horseman will be in the list alongside Random Heroic Dungeons and Specific Dungeons. Simply queue up for the fight, emerge victorious and hope you get the Hallow’s End Armor manuscript. Once the manuscript is in your bags right click it to learn it. It’s important to note that each character only has one chance a day to get it — farming the Headless Horseman repeatedly on one toon will not help.

Any character level 60 or higher will get the epic Loot-Filled Pumpkin that can contain the Hallow’s End Armor; lower level characters receive a “uncommon” reward that doesn’t contain it or the Headless Horseman’s mount. The best chance to earn it is on your first attempt of the day (similar to what happens to the X-45 Heartbreaker during Love is in the Air), with that chance increased by accepting Wickerman Curses at the start of the dungeon.

The Hallow’s End Armor is account-wide so you only need to have it drop once, although remember that the only Dragonriding mount that can equip it is the Windborne Velocidrake — if you were hoping to have a jack o’ lantern on your Highland Drake or the Flourishing Whimsydrake arriving in patch 10.2 you’re sadly out of luck. To switch to this armor appearance head to your nearest Rostum of Transformation, select the Windborne Velocidrake customizations, make sure Armor is on and select the Hallow’s End Armor.

While the Hallow’s End Armor can only be earned during the holiday, it can be equipped on your Wildborne Velocidrake for the entire year. So be sure to keep defeating the Headless Horseman until you get it so you can show off your love for the holiday while cruising through the Dragon Isles.
