I just got this mount from the loot filled pumkin from the first try of the day, together with pet and tmog piece

Kommentar von Sinnerlol

Just like in the previous events where the mount dropped from the box, you log in with your main account and four trial accounts and queue together to increase your chances.
Mount dropped for me on the third account. Happy Farming!

Kommentar von Bellamina

After 13 years of farming this mount, I finally got the original Headless Horseman's Reins in 2024
This addition feels like a kick in the teeth after I thought I was free from the grind

Kommentar von Nyraeth

I received this mount on my first try on day one, with all of the debuffs taken. Looks like it has a very high drop chance, which is a relief because this mount is gorgeous!

Kommentar von ang3l

Got it today on "normal" mode with 4 trial accounts. the 4th trial got it.

Kommentar von volt13

the drop rate works like all other event mounts? i mean you have a high chance on your first kill of the day and increases day by day?

Kommentar von szerkli

the Original just dropped for me, Blizzard is rubbing it in my face, i had the Original probably for the past 18 years ..... GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR, one more thing, you can't trade it w/ someone from the group

Kommentar von pelaaja0

Dropped from the loot-filled pumpkin on the first attempt of the day with all the curses on.

Going to assume, just like the other holiday mounts, it has much higher droprate from your first pumpkin of the day, increasing every day you open one. No idea if the curses have any effect on the droprate.

Kommentar von Blaze1907

Why is this mount not showing up on collections tab?

Kommentar von MarcSG

So you want the Makabres Streitross des kopflosen Reiters mount!

The mount can only drop on your first Der kopflose Reiter kill of the day, account-wide.
There is an increasing chance for a drop each new day that you defeat the boss (After testing I don't believe this).
For a full Hallow's End guide by Wowhead click Hallow's End

Start: 18th October 2025 at 10:00 AM (European Times)
End: 1st November 2025 at 11:00 AM
A total of 15 days of the event, it is important to note to get your 15th day (1st November 2025) attempt you have a five hour window. The daily reset time for Headless Horseman dungeon is 6am and the event ends at 11am.
To be eligible to receive a Beutegefüllter Kürbis to drop you need a character level 10-80 and kill Headless Horseman in the group finder dungeon search.
The first Beutegefüllter Kürbis of the day has the chance to drop the mount, nothing after this unless using 5 alts together method.

I believe the drop rate for the first attempt of the day is 5-10% and that it does not drop after of the first attempt of the day. (My prediction was correct before testing)
Bad luck protection is added to this holiday mount similar to Herzbrecher X-45 and Feger der Liebeshexe (Don't believe bad luck protection exists for this mount)
See the following post regarding bad luck protection - Click Here
It states "Legacy drops, such as the X-45 Heartbreaker, have a much higher chance to drop on your first attempt of the day (WoW account-wide). There is a very small chance to receive legacy drops on subsequent attempts made the same day, for players who enjoy running the content on multiple characters.
New drops, such as the Love Witch’s Sweeper, can only drop on your first attempt of the day (WoW account-wide), and will see an increasing chance to drop with each new day that a first attempt is completed."

Makabres Streitross des kopflosen Reiters, Die Zügel des Reiters, Arfus and Windgeborener Velocidrache: Schlotternachtsrüstung have a much higher chance of dropping on your first attempt of the day, account-wide.
There is a reduced chance that it may drop on subsequent attempts made the same day. (Makabres Streitross des kopflosen Reiters won't drop after first attempt)
There is an increasing chance for a drop each new day that you defeat the boss. Click Here
Previous years there was increased loot chance with all curses turned on so I would turn on all curses and keep the buff active by avoiding boss mechanics. Fluch der Weidenmänner

One attempt per character per day unless you run five alts at the same time but how?
I have a level 10 resto shaman and level 11 warrior twinks that can solo Headless Horseman or you can solo it with a strong level 80 and the other four level 10 alts just stand there until the boss is killed. The WoW accounts (max 8) are created under the one battle.net account, so for me it was my main account then, WoW1, WoW2, WoW3, and WoW4. You can use 4 starter/trial accounts (free option) or get 4 x WoW-Marke or pay for 4 monthly subs for these additional accounts. The Beutegefüllter Kürbis automatically enters your bag once the boss is killed, you don't have to loot the boss. Like any dungeon party you have to have the correct assigned roles, one tank, one healer and three damage in order to search for The Headless Horseman dungeon. I returned the 4 idle alts back to the spawn location at the start of dungeon as they don't take any damage there.

Doing separate runs, like killing Headless Horseman on Main and then logging off and logging onto WoW1 and killing again because it is a different account WILL NOT WORK like others have stated. It has to be 5 alts together.

But what if the mount drops on my starter account? It doesn't matter once it drops and you learn it all 5 accounts can mount up on the mount as its shared to all the accounts.
Using 1 character will just be 15 attempts over the course of the Schlotternächte 15 day event.
Using 5 characters you have 15 days x 5 characters which is 75 attempts.
Cumulative/Probability chance after 15 attempts: 79.41%
Cumulative/Probability chance after 75 attempts: 99.96%

As you receive the 5 Beutegefüllter Kürbis at the exact same time the game loot is already decided in the pumpkin before you open it, this means they don't have to be opened at the exact same second using an add on or such, just open normally and tab to the next account and open for each pumpkin.
This post will get plenty of downvotes as people don't like the idea of using 5 accounts together but it is really simple and game legal.

If anyone loots Makabres Streitross des kopflosen Reiters and it is not your first attempt of the day let the community know ASAP! (2000 attempts after first attempt of the day and it never dropped)
I will not equip the mount until the event is over as learning the mount and continuing to test each day will stop me from being able to loot the mount again.
I already have Arfus and Die Zügel des Reiters

On opening Beutegefüllter Kürbis I received the following mounts:
18/Day 1: Main: Makabres Streitross des kopflosen Reiters, WoW1-4 no mount. WoW4 Arfus (All Curses Turned On)
19/Day 2: No Mount (All Curses Turned On)
20/Day 3: WoW1 - Makabres Streitross des kopflosen Reiters, WoW4 - Die Zügel des Reiters (Curse Just Turned on WoW4)
21/Day 4: No Mount (Curse Just Turned on WoW4)
22/Day 5: No Mount (Curse Just Turned on WoW4)
23/Day 6: Main & WoW1 - No Mount, WoW2 - Die Zügel des Reiters, WoW3 - Die Zügel des Reiters, WoW4 - Beutegefüllter Kürbis Won't disappear from bag, states "There is no loot." (Curse Just Turned on WoW4)
24/Day 7: No Mount (Curse Just Turned on WoW4)
25/Day 8: No Mount (Curse Just Turned on WoW4)
26/Day 9: Main, WoW1-3 - No Mount, WoW4 - Die Zügel des Reiters (Curse Just Turned on WoW4)
27/Day 10: Main, WoW1-3 - No Mount, WoW4 - Arfus (Curse Just Turned on WoW4)
28/Day 11: WoW1- Makabres Streitross des kopflosen Reiters , Main & WoW2-WoW4 - No Mount (All Curses Turned On)
29/Day 12: No Mount (All Curses Turned On)
30/Day 13: Main, WoW1,2,4 - No Mount, WoW3 - Die Zügel des Reiters (All Curses Turned On)
31/Day 14: No Mount (All Curses Turned On)
01/Day 15: WoW1- Die Zügel des Reiters, Main & WoW2,3,4 - No Mount (All Curses Turned On)

Makabres Streitross des kopflosen Reiters is Soulbound (Unique) and can not be traded, even within the party members!

Results
3 x Makabres Streitross des kopflosen Reiters (75 Attempts) = 4% Drop Rate
6 x Die Zügel des Reiters (75 Attempts) = 8% Drop Rate
Curse On/Off it doesn't matter.

Best of Luck Everyone!

Kommentar von Killaks

If you’re still struggling to get the Hallow’s End mounts or any of these rare drops this year, there’s a completely free and legal trick involving multiboxing that massively boosts your daily chances. (I know Multiboxing...gross...)

It only takes a few minutes to set up, and it gives you 5–8 chances per day at the first Loot-Filled Pumpkin drop instead of just one.
Since certain items from this event (like the new mount) can only drop once per account per day, this method gives you up to 8 independent rolls daily.

Step-by-Step Setup:
1. Create 4 starter accounts under your main Battle.net (no subscription required).
2. Log into your main account.
3. Log into all 4 starter accounts simultaneously.
4. Create level 10 heritage characters on each starter account. (requires level 10 to que for LFG)
5. Invite all characters (including your main) into one party.
6. Queue for Headless Horseman through LFG.
7. Grab your Wickerman buffs before pulling. (This increases drop rates)
8. Kill the boss.
9. You’ll now get a Loot-Filled Pumpkin on each character.
10. Tab between characters and open each Pumpkin individually.

You don’t need to open them all at once, just make sure to open them before logging out. You don't have to group up, you can also just que individually on each character in LFG, but you do have to be online on all the characters you want to use this trick on, you can't swap log out and back in between characters.

This works because the first daily pumpkin per character has the full mount/pet/toy drop table, and starter accounts still count for that initial daily roll.

If you’re confused about any part of this:
I break it down visually in my Hallow’s End 2025 Guide. at timestamp 03:39.

Kommentar von Narsiv

Also got the new mount on my 1st ever try, i thought it was 100% drop for a sec

Kommentar von Senlur

Curious about how the bad luck protection works. I got the velocidrake armor today, so does that mean my bad luck protection for the new mount doesn't increase for tomorrow?

The wowhead post about the BLP groups arfus, the new mount and the drake armor together so it kinda reads like once you get one of the drops the blp resets for all three, but I could just be misunderstanding.

Any thoughts?

Kommentar von Undreadll

Got the mount doing the Main + 4 alts tactic on the first day. It dropped from an alt's pumpkin.

I noticed others did the same, but they were using curses. I used NO curses on anyone in the party. Just wanted to put that out there.

Kommentar von sedaiv

So I did this at 5:45 AM on 10/19/25, my friend didn't get his earlier. The boss died after 3 seconds, and I looted it. I don't think this is a hard chase item. Good luck to those hunting.

Kommentar von keshka4life1

For once, I got a holiday mount on the first attempt huh

Kommentar von Vyns

After playing since pre-patch BC, i have never looted the HH original mount. Today 10/19, i logged on for the first time during Hallows End, and snagged the mount on the first run. Honestly thought it was a joke? I had just purchased the other mount from the trading post, so i really believed it was a bug. 18 years of farming huh?

Kommentar von 2der

I can 100% confirm that the mount is able to be looted outside of your first attempt of the day. Today, 10/19/25, was the first day I que'ed for the instance. I did my DK Main +4 starter accounts as my first attempt and only got the armor pieces. I then did a second que on my Paladin and got armor. I then que'ed again for the THIRD time today, 10.19.25 on my Warrior and got the mount and an armor piece.

It happened boys. RUN THAT #$%^

Kommentar von Thorfisnson

I hate this "first kill of the day" nonsense - alts are for grinding at least give us a chance to play them even if a lower drop rate. This is arse.

Kommentar von vasheron

Im currently using the : no auto loot method, and I just open the loot filled pumpkin check for drops then I delete it and go on a different toon.

Today im currently on 1 Arfus , and 3 horseman reins. (OLD MOUNT). I saw this type of farm when the love in the air was active this year on Tiktok. Seems it is still working so can try it out!

Kommentar von Hhumas

got it on my first run , i have already the original mount since 2018-

Kommentar von Sorcerer

I didn't realise at first that this event had started, not until today. So lost a good few couple of day chances on my 3 sub accounts (and 2 trial accounts).
Once I realised, I logged in to all 5 accounts (all paladins). I formed my own 5 man group and set up my toons in the area.
I used my main pallie to start and do the fight (self heals ftw).

After I downed the Horseman, I then began the check of my toons loot pumpkins.
Main toon: no mount.
2nd a/c: MOUNT!
3rd a/c: mount again!
Both trial a/c's: no mount, just mog gear etc.

2/5 drop chance. Certainly easier than when I farmed the original horseman mount.

Back to Legion remix now. Good luck everyone!

Kommentar von Jurasfcb

https://ibb.co/fYT4wqZF :D The old one mount can drop even you have it,sadly. :( but no luck on new one :X

Kommentar von Roxlox

Wonder why i have an army of alts...

Kommentar von Harambuu

I think blizzard have hotfixed this mount to add more visual effects to hooves, now it's super flashy and leave trails when it run and steady fly (skyriding remove the trails).

Kommentar von Casterxd

Lovely, just when I thought I'd never have to run this boss again. Thanks Blizz, I love treadmills.

Kommentar von WoWGirl305

Ran my main + 4 trials to try my luck but I did not turn any curses on because... ain't nobody got time for that!

Day 1: Arfus, mogs, Sinister pet, Plate helm
Day 2: Die Zügel des Reiters x2, more mogs, Sinister pet, Ring
Day 3: Makabres Streitross des kopflosen Reiters! Arfus, Sword, Sinister pet, Ring

the Makabres Streitross des kopflosen Reiters leaves a trail when normal/steady flying but when in sky riding, the trail disappears. Not sure if that was done on purpose or a tiny bug?

I believe the new mog set matches better with Die Zügel des Reiters though... any who! Picture time! and why not my Video edit too

keep at it! trust in your army of trial accounts!

Kommentar von thunderstruck01

Finally dropped for me on 6 th day, starting from saturday.

I was hunting for orginal: Die Zügel des Reiters for like last 15 years.
So the Original rains dropped for me, finally!,,on a first day this year Hallowed Event, on my main character with all curses on.
Then, after Sunday (2 day of event) i started running 5 accounts. 4 of those being starter accounts.
With "all curses on" on random accounts/characters.

Then today (thursday 23.10) Makabres Streitross des kopflosen Reiters dropped for me.

It dropped on my main account/character that i was running from Event Start.
I had all curses on on main character and one of the alt accounts.
In addition i also got Arfus Pet (Arfus) in the same: Beutegefüllter Kürbis

I am just wondering, because i never saw mount dropping on my 4 alt army/ level 10 character accounts.

Anyway i am done with farm, got all i wanted from this Event.

I wish you all to get this mount in this years event, may luck be on your side!

Picture Proof ( https://imgur.com/a/qYiDXhl )

Kommentar von Lusciouswow

Still trying. Maybe my account is broken? I have some achievements that I am not eligible to have. Quests from professions that never were on my hero. I got every day drop of old mount I already have (if delete copy), but not the new one.(

Kommentar von TheSkyNeX

I never went after this horse on the official server, I got the old version on the second day of farming, and I got this version the day after the old one, on my first try. Good luck!

Kommentar von ramad3

dropped on the third day of farming it with the 5 account method, i got it on my 3rd character for the day so about 13 first day attempts in total. no curses used at all during all the days.

Kommentar von Taridiacie

Has anyone looted this while having Erfahrung eliminiert on all characters?

Update: I turned XP back on, but still no luck. Was already seeing plenty of Arfus and saw ONE drop of the old mount before doing so. One thing I notice is that the queue time is faster when XP is ON despite having a full 5 party queued up.

Kommentar von Valenhardt

Can anyone confirm that you can get the mount by multiboxing but with each accounts on separate LFG ?

Kommentar von Ghost1477

Honestly, I'm just disappointed that the flavor text doesn't rhyme.

Kommentar von Buffbringer

Got this one on my first attempt, first day of the event.

Meanwhile, still trying to get Arfus...

Kommentar von dd614

Day 7 of using main + 4 trial accounts and still nothing. Feels like bad luck protection ain't working. Anyone else this unlucky?

Kommentar von Bawoop

Got it on October 24, 2025 — trial account.
Two level 10 characters who just completed Exile’s Reach: a Holy Paladin and a Holy Priest.
Ran the Headless Horseman dungeon twice daily on both the Holy Paladin and Holy Priest since October 19, 2025.
Accepted all curses inside the dungeon.
Got the Arfus pet on the Holy Priest on October 22, 2025.
Got the mount on the Holy Priest on October 24, 2025.

Good luck!

Kommentar von rahund

Ive been running this on my main and alts everyday with no luck

Today I ran my main + 4 starter accounts in the same party. My main carried while the starter accounts afk'd. All curses on - all accounts.

Holy ****
-new headless horseman mount dropped
-old mount dropped
-arfus drop
-velocidrake hallows end armor

all drops were on separate characters

Kommentar von bloody2

Day 8 today using the 1 main + 4 starter account method with no luck (4 days all curses on, 4 days all off)

Hope the last 7 days are enough to get this mount

Day 9: 5 times noting special
Day 10: 5 times nothing special
Day 11: 5 times nothing special
Day 12: wow1 nothing special, wow2 the new mount (holy yes) wow3-5 nothing special

Kommentar von mrbonesSTL

Spent years grinding for the first one, finally getting it in like 2020. Just got this today, had no idea this one existed

Kommentar von choomzi

I had about 120 attempts in 2-3 days but I became skeptical that it can drop on subsequent attempts after the first of the day, so I started doing the main + 4 trial accounts and finally got it on day 4 of doing the multibox strategy. Make your own conclusion, but I don't believe you can get it after the first attempt of the day.

None of my 80s were too geared so it was a struggle to kill the boss with a 604 ilvl mage or an even less geared paladin, but for anyone in the same boat, you can easily kill him with a level 10 tank, a healer and 3 random characters, and then just kill him with the tank while popping a HoT or shield with the healer every so often.

Kommentar von IronJack

Got this today using the Main & 4 Trial account method, a trial account level 10 Warrior with all 4 curses active looted it.

Kommentar von empjori

Got it on my first attempt. Is this a 100% drop chance easy mount?

Kommentar von Elitecookie

I was skeptical that the whole main + 4 starter account thing worked since the other events i got the event mount on my main account and none on the others. But this time, 2 of my starter accounts got one in the same run.

Kommentar von gmisterX

Day 10 of 5-account method and nothing yet.
God I hate this feeling so much.

Kommentar von SlayerLightStorm

UGH! I've been logging onto my Worgen Hunter, Zigady, for 11 days of this event. 11 days of getting shafted. I should've been guaranteed this mount 5 DAYS AGO! But noooooooo, bad RNG continues to SHAFT ME! Or my account's bugged somehow!

Blizzard needs to make my misery end. Now.

Kommentar von oplix

There is zero way to tell if the starter account strategy still works or if it was disabled.

As others have stated, people have been doing the 5 accounts since day 1 and nothing.

Kommentar von chris2cool

never got the classic mount, doesn't look like I'll be getting this one either....thanks RNG :-)

Kommentar von Claigoddess

Got the drop today in first run of the day, just running a single account with all 4 curses up. Did not track my runs, but I did go for rings on my alts that do not get gear love and ended this with:
The Horseman's Ring x 10
Seal of Ghoulish Glee x 11
Wicked Witch's Signet x 20
Band of the Petrified Pumpkin x 13
I got plenty of repeats as well, which I deleted so just rough estimates, but safe to say getting it outside of the first of the day seems pretty low, although repeats were not done with curses up.

Kommentar von Xanxiety1634

Ive been doing 1 main and 4 starters from day 1 and nothing and im also doing a random 6th account starter account and going in at like level 10 so 6 attempts a day since start and nothing. I have gotten multiple arfus and original horsemen mounts and the new mount hasnt dropped for me. But i believe if blizz stealth fixed this you wouldnt be getting arfus or original mount. I am also doing it with all curses up sometimes and sometimes no curse after the comments i have read on here.

Kommentar von gmisterX

Day 11 of the 5 account strategy and it finally dropped for me on account 2 - all curses enabled.
Sadly, i was too excited and immediately learned it thus I believe I spoiled my chance to confirm multiple drops from the same 5-man group, but I did have another drop, for Arfus, in account 4 - all curses enabled.

The margin seem way too tight regardless, we should not have to resort to such methods for a llimited time drop, what the designers should want is engagement not FOMO and built-up disappointment.
I am still of the opinion these mounts should also be grindable and the dungeon should serve as a shortcut.

Kommentar von cmrkelly

Day 11 - Been trying for this since day 1 using the 5 account strategy(All in same group)and it finally dropped for me today on my 5th account which is a trial account, I activated all curses on all characters, I've gotten the old mount 4 times over the days and Arfus one time, nothing else dropped today only the new mount. I don't know if it made a difference, but I've been trying on my alts on my main account just incase it might drop outside of the daily chance so on my main account its saying i have 45 attempts but rarity wasn't working for the first 2 or 3 days so that would have been higher.

Kommentar von chris2cool

Imagine dying and never getting a mount you farmed for years because of RNG...i think this one is going to be added to that list.....gotta love it

Kommentar von SarahMars

Just had this drop on my first run of the day! For this year I queued 10 characters per day (almost every day of the event) ......still waiting for the OG mount 17 years later BUT YAY!

Kommentar von Windrider86

Day 12 nothing, im doing this event first time with the 1 main+ 4 starter method and all curses on since day one and nothing,not even the old horse as a dublicate ,only 2-3 arfus pets.

Starting to believe its already decided by some kind of algorithm some people including me wont get it this year.Might get it next year or in 2-3 years who knows, i can live with that.But dont lie to me about bad luck protection supposed to increase odds day by day? Or all curses on boost chances? or first attempt of the day or using the starter method.
Of course 3 days left , just wondering,yeah i know rng is cruel .

Day 13 nothing
Day 14 nothing
Day 15 nope nothing see you next year

Kommentar von Ronin2420

As confirmed by Blizzard, there is no such thing as a bad luck protection on this mount.

Kommentar von cryllindra

Nearing the end of the event and still haven't seen it, I don't understand why they keep adding such low drops when they've boosted most of the other mounts to have a higher rate, so insanely ridiculous and just another burden on people in general. Sad really.

Kommentar von Ewart

With 5 account strategy (all subscribed) it finally dropped for me today on one of my toon accounts. No curses active.

Kommentar von toastytea

Been doing this since Day 1 with main + 4 starters, still to see it. Got 4 of the old mount that I finally got last year though. The irony is not lost on me.

Kommentar von nazqul

all drop change is just BS, it just not drop

Kommentar von Moonie1056

Got the mount 2 days ago, after doing the event every day since the very start.

I was running with my main + 3 trial account characters (4 in total, cuz my PC can't handle 5 WoW windows at the same time) + asked my guildie to join to fill the group.

The mount dropped from my 2nd trial acount, none of the curses were activated for that particular character. I learnt the mount and it automatically appeared in my main account collection.
I did NOT have to pay to activate an account in order to learn the mount and add it to the collection. Overall took me around 30 authentic first attempts-per-account before it dropped.

Previously in the first 3 days I was running the event with 25 of my alts everyday, because I saw a comment here saying, that it can be drop on 2nd 3d etc attempts, obviosly with no results.

So the the best proven strategy seems to create 2-4 additional FREE accounts (depending on how many open windows your PC can handler) and run all your accounts as one group.

I am not a collector, but man, this mount fits unholy DK quite well.

Kommentar von Thatsoureric

They should allow you to trade in the previous mount for the new one.

Because come the Hell on that the first model drops (when you already have it) and NOT this new one,
with that bull^&*! "each day increases your odds" crap.

Kommentar von Okapii

Ok guys, I got both mounts this year on the same character — no multiboxing, just running my 313,512 alt army.
I can confirm for sure that you won’t get the new mount from your alt army, only the old version.
So, in conclusion, I was probably just very lucky. My tip: don’t waste your time with alts — it’s one drop per day per account :)

I got 4x of the old Horseman’s Mount this year, so it seems like the drop rate has increased or something’s off with the loot. I’ve been doing this every year with my alt army and never got a single drop — this year, 4+! So don’t give up, pray to the RNG Lords!

If anyone’s wondering what I did before the mount dropped: I logged in, did the Ecological Succession for the transmog and mounts, opened the box, and then went into the dungeon.

GL & HF!

EDIT:
All Curses ON - Also Opened Boxes from different Events like Ecological Succession, Hallowfall, Undermine Contracts etc could be coded with increased mount drop chance!
C++
if (hallowfallEventCompleted && ecologicalSuccession) {
dropRate += 0.10; // increase by 10%
cout << "Bonus active! Drop rate increased to " << dropRate * 100 << "%." << endl;

Cus you know Blizzard loves Playtime

Kommentar von Elijander

After 13 Days of doing the multibox strat the mount dropped for me on starter account 2 and 4 on the first try of the day. No curses used. Was switching between curses and no curses the days before.
Loot after 13 Days (13*5=65Kills):
2x Makabres Streitross des kopflosen Reiters
2x Arfus
1x Die Zügel des Reiters

Good Luck

Kommentar von zapurr

13 days with trial method and I've gotten:
All the new transmog
+1 Arfus
+ 6 OLD Mount (I don't even need it x,x)

The ghoulish reins elude me.

Kommentar von ericshug

I try 8 accounts and queue solo ,it drop. no need main and 4 trials.

Kommentar von Robinhewd

Been doing this since Hallows End started with all curses active. Got nothing. At this point, I am not expecting it to drop. I'm not convinced those curses make a difference either.

Kommentar von oplix

BS mount with even worse communication regarding mechanics which can't be fully explained IE curses.

It will either drop or it won't and it's not going to matter how many times you run it on how many accounts.

Kommentar von Steggy03

I don't understand why Blizzard is so inconsistent with these. New Love is in the Air mount with successive bad luck protection. New Brewfest mount, no bad luck protection (AFAIK). New Hallow's End mount, no bad luck protection. Why? What is the point with the inconsistencies and vague messaging behind these?

Kommentar von antoniop23

They seriously need to stop adding !@#$ to old content like this.. I get that these actions can be explained away as shameless cash grabs, but part of me thinks that they genuinely think people like having to get dragged back into doing the same stuff over and over year after year, especially after they've finally gotten closure - and possible contentment - having finished a grind and accepted never want to return to it EVER again.

Kommentar von Taraezor

Reports of tricks to boost your chances. Let's get it clear here: ONE lousy chance per day per account. Nothing else that you do will boost your chances.

(The drop rate you see here includes the years prior to 2025 when the mount did not exist. I.e. the drop rate is definitely very low, but it isn't as bad as Wowhead data would indicate).

(Wondering why the downvotes. Did I say something wrong? Of course not. Disagreeing with the tone of the comment perhaps? Please enlghten, I don't bite. Thanks)

Kommentar von Anyx1992

Done this every single day using the starter account method, No new mount or Arfus :(

Kommentar von 6taly

I’ve been farming it with 4 accounts.

Main account: using my regular characters — 14 days, 28 runs per day (for 12 of those days) = 276 runs.

In the last 3 days, I also used level 10 allied race characters:

WoW 1: over 70 runs

WoW 2: 32 runs

WoW 4: 33 runs

WoW 5: 32 runs

That’s over 160 additional runs, and still no new mount.

I remember Ion Hazzikostas said in a Q&A some time ago that it wasn't a great design that people tried for years on the Love Rocket and then had to wait a whole year before they could try again. And that it was a bad feeling. So he told us they would buff the drop rate on the Love Rocket and prevent stuff like that to happen in the future. Yet here we are again. I didn't get the mount this year after tons of tries. And a lot of my fellow mount farmers didn't get it either.

I think that making something elusive and a goal to work towards has no business in a limited time event. Limited time holiday events are to make subscribers feel appreciated. The solution is simple. Blizzard should take a 14 day event, and make the drop 1 in 14. Therefore if the subscriber logs on every day and does the thing (dungeon whatever) by the last day, they should get it PROVIDED they tried everyday. It's easy enough to code in a check to make sure the account fulfilled it's obligation. Game designers forget that players do not spend 24/7 in the game.

When you look on your collections mount page, Headless Horseman's Ghoulish Charger isn't even listed as unlearned. I'm not creating more accounts (free or not) to get a chance at a drop that frankly, as a paying customer... I should get anyway. The RNG gods hates all of us, makes us all feel bad and is bad for business. These holiday events are created to bring people back into game and create engagement. GOOD WILL by Blizzard should be included in that mindset. Bad luck protection is a last resort of a failed system. That also fails...

Side Note: I've been reading the comments and see that people are creating multiple starter accounts? Is that just a way for Blizzard to 'inflate' it's subscription account numbers?

Been doing this 4 starter characters strat for a while now and it's the last day and not even Arfus, only "lucky" drops are 2 of the OG mounts that I don't even need since I dropped it last year, so I don't believe this "your chances increase everytime" BS, it is just a s%^tty drop and thats it

Kommentar von Ladiebear

Just a note if no one's said it yet, you CAN loot the old model from a pumpkin if you have the old one already and if you don't have the new one. I Was farming for the new one and on Halloween thought I got lucky. It was the old model! Still a great one though. Happy Howl-o-ween!

Kommentar von Nadiv

If anyone needs that - I've just looted the new mount (Makabres Streitross des kopflosen Reiters) using 1+4 (it was 2+3 in my case) method. It dropped for a L20 trial account toon. All toons had all curses active. For a level 11 warrior twink this boss with all curses is a piece of cake. It was a first run after daily reset and I'm pretty sure that it cannot drop after the 1st run of a day. I got 6xDie Zügel des Reiters during this time and something around that number (8?) of Arfus.

I finally got the Makabres Streitross des kopflosen Reiters on the last day of the event! Farmed once a day with my main char (healer). Had all 4 curses on.
Just missed the first few days of the event.

Earlier on day 10 i got the Die Zügel des Reiters which i already had for years. (also with all curses on)

So know you really don't need the 4 starter account method which imo shouldn't be the intention of the game mechanics.
Happy hunting ^^

Kommentar von Infers

1x5 for 15days = 75 attempts.

- 0 Makabres Streitross des kopflosen Reiters
- 4 Arfus which sells nicely for 30 gold to vendor
- 1 copy of Die Zügel des Reiters which I don't need becuase I got it like years ago
- Dozen of other useless junk

Like is this a joke? Increased chance during first attempt and bad luck protection on top of that. Nothing.
Better luck next year I guess to everybody.
Meanwhile my significant other got Makabres Streitross des kopflosen Reiters day one on 1 character only XD

Kommentar von Aernath

I can also confirm this so called "Bad Luck Protection" does not work with the new system.
I tried with my main since day 1. Mount did not drop.

There should be an in-game indicator or buff showing our "increased" chance to clarify that, otherwise this is obviously not working and we may even need some compensation system with currencies and such.

But... Considering they couldn't even make the candies as currency, or plate helm or sword (meaning, all the potentially 90% unusable drops account-bound, or warbound) I'm really not very hopeful, maybe next year...

If we survive another revolve around the sun :P

Kommentar von Dehir

Thank you blizzard. Instead of receiving the new mount. Instead received the old mount 3 times ! (Which i btw allready had for ages)

Kommentar von chris2cool

here's to another 20+ years of chasing a mount I'll never get...never got the old one and I don't plan on blizz's rng ever giving me this one

Kommentar von Necrochrist

WOOHOO! LAST DAY AND I FINALLY GOT IT!

Yeah yeah, Blizz probably got that drop at 100% for the last day, but still...

WOOHOO!

Edit: HATERS GONNA HATE!

@Taridiacie So you're saying I'm being downvoted because people are misreading my comment? THAT is rude. Because when someone says "probably", it absolves the statement of factual validity.

Kommentar von maxou1240

Well, I was lucky enough to get the new mount pretty easily at the start of the event. I've been farming every day with two characters, and it even dropped twice for me (unfortunately not tradable with the rest of the group...). But the old mount, which I've never had the chance to loot, still hasn't dropped at all! Strange RNG honestly... Especially when I see people who got the old one like 3–6 times and still haven't seen the new one.

EDIT: I love seeing my comment massively downvoted when all I did was share my experience (and I didn’t get one of the mounts either). It feels like WoW players are only happy when people are spitting hate… If I had written “Blizzard, your RNG is crap,” I’d probably have gotten 10 likes.

Kommentar von Messii

Absolute disgrace of a design for this and the recent brewfest mount with only 1 chance per day.

Only way for people to give themselves a genuine chance to loot it which blizzard would define as an exploit as always in their own terms was
have 5 accounts and Q with your own group of 5, or make starter accounts and do it the same way with 5 accounts (4 starters) 1 main acc…

i have 8 accounts so i wasnt able to make use of the starter accounts method, and i was using 3 accounts for the entire duration of the halloween event until the last day where i added 1 more, literally inactive unplayed and untouched accounts in years but paid for game time purely for the “extra chance” which isnt accessible to everyone so it shouldnt be accessible at all! A big spit in the face to collectors who have endured all the either impossible grinds that get handed out for free or quality of life changes only after the fact people have lost their minds grinding collection items that only are made easier down the track. Where is the consistency? Now we must wait for an entire year to be able to even have a chance at it again, not get it. No wonder OG collector players dont even bother anymore because really, as a collector you are unable to even make use of all the characters/accounts youve made over the years to do the grinding, instead your *!@#ed with one chance per day, and all the alts that you have made in the time of WOW are meaningless. Fantastic. I cannot comprehend how it is logical or acceptable in their POV that 1 person that has no fantasy of collecting items/mounts etc can get it on his very very first kill of the day on the first day of the event, but people who have dedicated time, money, all the words you can think of, can miss out. Thats me done chasing collectables, ill stick to waiting years down the track when theyve realised theyve let a lot of people down and make it easier when its far too late.

!@#$ing piece of &*!@ mount I LOVE GETTING &*!@ING ARFUS 3 TIMES OVER THE MOUNT! USELESS BATTLE PET THAT I CANT TRADE IN FOR THE MOUNT

Kommentar von MarcSG

Just to rub salt into the wounds of the people that did not get the mount! I got 3 x Makabres Streitross des kopflosen Reiters (75 Attempts) = 4% Drop Rate and 6 x Die Zügel des Reiters (75 Attempts) = 8% Drop Rate

Kommentar von catcoach

Got it on the very last day after trying once every day.
