This guide fails to mention that if you get hit with too many stacks of Wicker Man's Shadow (10 times), it will remove the Curse debuffs, meaning you will not get the achievement when the Headless Horseman dies.
i have activated the 4 curses on all but one toon and have not gotten the achievement, is it bugged?
activated the last 2 curses after combat initiation and received the achievement after a relaxed 1,5min encounter. at best its on par with NORMAL difficulty.i rlly like the idea of encounter (difficulty) personalisation,
oh sound good.
Not sure how much the curses buff your chances, but on my first kill today with all four buffs, I got The Scarlet Key, Windborne Velocidrake: Hallow's End Armor and The Horseman's Reins
I can confirm that the wickerman curses DO increase the chances of getting the mount. I've been trying for YEARS (since I came back in Legion) to get the Horseman's Reigns. I log in today with my main tank, got all the curses, survived, AND GOT THE MOUNT! So maybe the percentage buff is something like +25% each curse? :)
My results from doing full hardmode 14 times: 13/14 times all I got was a vendor trash mask. The only time I actually got something I got the 1h Sword which I can't even equip. Personal loot kek, I got it on a priest.
Going from the queue time it is kind of abandoned by the players already.
In case you don't have the mount from 2008 yet
So, day 3 and I am still confused in regards of the hard mode buff, as I don't see any buff icon displayed.Can anyone confirm this, especially the statements tagged with "(?)":
