Total boss health (including phases, more or less):
The Burning Crusade 57 068 * 1.9 ~ 108 429
Wrath of the Lich King 126 000 * 1.9 ~ 239 400
Cataclysm 968 625 * 1.9 ~ 1 840 388
Mists of Pandaria 7 588 656 * 1.9 ~ 14 418 446

An explanation on how this works; phase 1 starts and you fight him from 100-60%, then he heals too 100% and you now fight his head (head health not taken in calculation). Phase 2 starts and you fight him 100-30%, then his head once more and he again heals back to 100%. Phase 3 starts and you fight him 100-0% (assuming you do it quick enough and don't let him heal back up) and that is his "total health" -but it varies depending on the outcome of your fight. The result you see here is the minimum amount of damage you have to deal to get him down.

This guy really likes his Dr. Seuss.

Copy/paste these into your chat box in game to hear them for yourself:

You've summoned him from the grave!

You knocked his head off!

Commento di Isilien

Within a graveyard dank and cold, there lives a troubled soul;
He believes all else is dead, and he alone is whole.
When he rides upon his fiery steed, his laughter ringing clear;
The townsfolk stay behind locked doors, for Hallow's End draws near.

T'is seven days and seven nights till the Horseman roams the land;
Are you prepared to face the one who holds his head in hand?
Well, we shall know in just a week, the ones who'll take a stand;
When comes the time for trick or treat, the time for Hallow's End.

Yes, the mount will serve as an epic ground mount at the max in Azeroth and as an epic flyer at the highest in Outland or Northrend (with xpack)

Correct. I'd been told the mount would simply adjust to the riding-skill level (so someone who hadn't trained to 225 riding would find it to be simply a ground mount, for example). The mount, however, adjusts automatically based on location! Now I can free up a slot on my actionbar, and no more error messages from trying to summon a flying mount in Azeroth.

The mount in air mode doesn't have wings, or breathe fire, as I'd vaguely imagined; as a groupmate remarked, "It just looks like a flying horse." But hey, it's a horse! That flies! After returning to Shattrath I pulled out the Horseman's Helm I'd obtained a year ago and flew around the city, laughing evilly and threatening imminent doom on its residents.

Also note that, unlike last year and like Coren Direbrew, the boss can be repeatedly summoned without having to exit and reset the instance.

Commento di Jummy

the sinister squashlings droprate is higher this year i think. killed him 10 times and he dropped it twice and the head once (the epeen head that is)

From 2008 he drops his mount too, The Horseman Reins.

Commento di 48835

Confirmed, the new human racial Every Man For Himself removes the Conflagrate.

Commento di 96362

Just did him 5 times in a row(no need to leave to re summon him) with one pally(me) two druids, 1 mage, 1 rogue all level 70's and all too easy. Sword dropped on first and last kill. The mage took one and the other went to one of the druids. So the sword dropped twice along with the helm which dropped on the second kill (I took the helm) all drops with in 20 minutes. 3.0 patch made killing him a breeze.

here is HH Horse and yeah the dude said it can fly.

Commento di Ciam86

I ran him 9 times today..... the helm (epic) dropped only once.. and the broom (ground) drops pretty commonly... the rings drop diferently... every kill a different ring drops most of the time..

Commento di 137190

i think headless horsman is a pretty cool guy. eh talks in rymes and doesn't afraid of anything

Commento di 182657

Since many people are likely to be doing a lot of pick up groups on this guy to get the maxiumum amount of summons-

Be sure that your loot is not on ffa before downing the Horseman.

I was in a group today in which the Squashling dropped on the first kill and was promptly ninjaed.

Commento di 212003

by mistake, on a 66 mage i greeded CBT ring, then needed mage ring, cuz i did need it, then greeded priest ring, got all 3 ^^

Commento di Isilien

Edit: This was originally written in response to a posting (now purged) by someone asking whether others also heard the Horseman speaking to them in rhyme.

This is a serious malady
We fully sympathise;
We wonder under what conditions
This problem does arise?

You really ought to get this checked
It might well be a curse;
For to the rest of us he speaks
In alliterative verse.

But I must ask, in curiosity
As I am wont to do;
Have you been, my good sir
In old Coren's direbrew?

It seems like this bit of info hasn't been added here yet but... If you complete the quest in Goldshire, to put out the fires, you get a additional summon. Nice if everyone in your party does it, 10 summons for 5 people. :D

Commento di 222832

Two manned by me and a prot warrior. Myself beign enhancement shaman.
I simply put my two caster rings on, earth living dualwield and healed the warrior who actually is pretty buffed on damage ;P

Peppercan-Ravencrest

Commento di Oberik

Two-manned him 4 times with a Combat Rogue and a Elemental Shaman, Rogue tanking, Shaman healing whenever the rogue went under 4.5k. No deaths except the Shaman on the first kill, though both were in mixed s4/t5/t6.

Easy fight, blow your cooldowns during phase 2 to minimize Conflagrate damage. Be careful of his whirlwind when he detaches his head.

He hits leather for about 1300-1600 and cleaves for 3k, so bring a health potion or two, or get a warlock buddy to make a healthstone for you.

Commento di 169405

extremely easy boss.

did it with a 70 warrior tank, 70 mage, 66 druid dps, and me (68 spreist) on heals.

ive downed him about 20 times, and here are my drop rates so far:

The Horseman's Signet Ring: 11 /20
Witches Band: 14 /20
Ring of Ghoulish Delight: 12 /20
Hallowed Helm: 1 /20
Sinister Squashling: 2 /20
The Horseman's Helm: 1 /20
Broom Mount: 3 /20

i have not seen the horse mount or the sword drop yet.

Commento di Rockwell

He can be killed with only 2 people, however it seems he only has one drop instead of 2. He only dropped rings for my partner and I.

Duod him with a Ret Pally and Resto Shaman. Easier then you might think in fact. With the amount of DPS Ret Pally's do now he went down almost as fast as he does with a full group.

Commento di 203775

Healed for this 3x as a lvl 68 resto druid in balance gear. (pretty much the same but meh)

I almsot fell alseep. tried it with a warrior tank pally tank and bear tank.

I kept their helath topped off 24/7 using only lifebloom ticks not even the final heal.

I regret respeccing for this.

Commento di 134398

very very easy fight.

me (70 prot warrior) and a 70 holy pally two man'ed him. we are pretty well geared but never the less it is super easy

Commento di Royi

https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=37012

His mount drops too now. Whatever skill you currently have, it will act accordingly. Dropped for me last night but unfortunatly I didn't win the roll.

Saw the victor take it for a test drive though. He had epic flying (280%) speed, so it became a 280% flying mount.

In the old world it acts like a regular 100% land mount.

Looks pretty sweet...

Commento di 203775

my 2 cents on drops:
In last day i ran him ~5 times with 3-10 kills per run.

had like 4 or 5 squashings.

2 hallowed helms in 1 run.
2 horemands helms.
1x sword
@#$%loads of rings coming out the ass srsly every1 i go with has them all.
and a least 1 broom per trip

Commento di 109658

Unfortunately I do not have a screenshot of the following claim but I have seen a Tauren on The Horseman's Mount, his actual undead mount (off-colour of Midnight in Kara).

Can anyone else back this up?

Commento di Aeolyn

Summoning him requires level 70.

This is -not- true. I just brought a level 69 and they were able to summon him. Can anyone figure out the minimum level required to pop the Horseman? Would be extremely handy to know for running friends through the fight.

Commento di 147837

Soloed him as a feral druid in badge gear, with agi food and a major agi pot. The fight is trivial before the adds show up; keep demo roar up, pop barkskin and frenzied regen when they're up, and you'll be fine. You can shift out and heal when the head deattaches, just be sure to stay away from the body. The adds are the real problem. Once they start spawning, the incoming damage is just too great, and you'll need to burn the HH down. I had to pop survival instincts at the end and just barely got him down. I would recommend healing to full the second time the head pops off (I didn't, because I was #$%^y, which almost got me killed).

I imagine this would be pretty easy to solo with a well-geared prot paladin. The adds shouldn't be able to scratch you.

edit: I should note that I didn't have anyone in group for the protector of the pack buff. That would have helped tremendously.

Commento di Dorkfish

I don't know if this has been stated yet, but you cannot 10-man the headless Horseman like you could last year. You get an error that the instance is full when the 6th raid member attempts to enter then instance.

Commento di Dorkfish

You cannot summon the Headless Horseman at level 64. We think the minimum is level 65.

Commento di arlen

From what I've read, the quest requires level 65. So bascially if you can't find a 5th or something, just invite someone who is level 65+ and they can summon. Headless horseman is very easy, can be 2 manned with no problems as long as you have a good tank and healer.

Commento di 231829

Update: 70 Runs on Headless Horseman
4 - Sinister Squashling
3 - Hallowed Helm
1 - Horeseman's Reins

Commento di 229389

Fought him multiple times yesterday, and the fights were a lot easier than I thought it would be. Team was a Feral Druid, a Shaman, a Paladin (not sure if he was Ret - was too busy to pay attention), and two Hunters (one of which was me, and I was the only non-70 (lvl 65)). Only one faceplant the entire time (the other Hunter, during the final fight.

The Conflagration attack he uses during stage 2 can be halted (cancelled) by any ability that stops movement impairments (yes, it stops the damage, not just the confusion); I was using this to stop it: https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=18856 , but apparently Feign Death and some racial abilities will end it as well, from what I've heard.

Drops weren't that good, as he kept dropping rings (mostly the Witches' Band) until the last fight when he dropped the Hallowed Helm and the Horseman's Helm. The Paladin in the group was the only plate wearer, so he got it by default.

Commento di 82547

Bahhh this guy is so easy it gets boring... no need for tank what so ever... 4 warriors and a healer could do this no problem.

i got the Horsmans blade on the very first day, and yesterday got the sinister pet, and for my dimise saw the horsman reigns drop to a fellow warrior... and yes he flys! heheheh

Commento di Wolf4355

The Horseman also drops a sword that isn't listed here unfortunatly, but it's a real sweet sword that summons pumpkin soldiers!

Commento di 232904

My 2c worth,

We have been running this as a group of 70s that levelled up together. Prot Pally Tank (Me) Ret pally (DPS and occasional heals) Fury/Arms Warrior (DPS) Feral Drood (DPS heals when needed) and a Survival Hunter (DPS). The fight its self is fairly simple, as it has been said before, just back him up into the opening of the crypt so his adds spawn almost on top of the tank and target his head with the TAB key when it pops off. Hunters use misdirect on the tank to help with aggro generaion and enjoy the fight.

Generally, when we have all had our shot at summoning him for the day we will start swapping people out and bringing the lvl65 and aboves in so they can have a go at him. I think its nice that they will have some epics in the bank ready for level 70. Saying that, Im not sure how long they will last after WOTLK comes out lol. Personally, the 70s in the group are only farming him for the sweet mount now, buts its a fun, if not particulaly challanging fight

Commento di Raithesage

The rings drop in abundance, the Helm, Horse Mount, Vanity Pet, have really bad drop rates.

I was able to get a group, and everyone kept swapping alts, So I got a total of 16 runs, and 5 before that from another group. (some people had 2 summons)

The vanity pet dropped once, the Cloth Pumpkin head, dropped twice. A bunch of Broom Mounts and RINGS GALORE. But everyone passed on the rings cause everyone all ready had one of each ring. The helm has yet to be seen.

I suggest if you're going for the helm, you go with no other plate wearers, or know that the other plate-wearer will PASS on it. I.E. someone you trust or someone who has it all ready.

If you're a disenchanter happy halloween!

Commento di 160947

This guy hits like a girl =P on my holy paly with ~8k health and no tanking stats, I can tank and heal for this with 4 dps, if a real tank is in the group, then i end up doing like 2 flash of lights a kill, but its kinda fun to tank and heal for him.

Commento di Mumpley

The Headless Horseman is an extremely easy boss. I got a group together that consisted of a 70 Druid Tank,67 Rogue,70 Rogue (Me),a 68 Shaman Healer specced Enhancement and a level 55 Warrior.

I was amazingly surprised we easily killed The Horseman twice with this group. Just comes to show if a person has a summon,take them. Don't worry if their in blues or greens because if you can slice pie you can take on HH with a level 36.

im an 80 prot warrior. i was wondering for 2009 am i able to solo him. and how many times a day can you summon him? is it like just reset/repeat or is it capped..

Commento di 297431

I did him with a really weird group composition.

We had:

70 Shaman (tanking and healing himself)
70 Hunter
70 Warrior (DPS)
67 Hunter
56 Druid (xP that was me, healing even though I was Feral)

We tried it again without the Shaman, and it was an epic fail.

Can't wait for next hallow's end, now that I am actully the right level ^^

Will there be a level increase and new loot for 80's on the next Hallow's end?

Commento di Wisdomsword

During Hallow's End, the Headless Horseman is a summoned elite boss spawned in the Pumpkin Shrine in the middle of the Forlorn Cloister in The Graveyard, an instanced wing of the Scarlet Monastery. Additionally, he attacks Horde and Alliance villages at various times throughout the event.
The Horseman was once a knight of the Silver Hand, but is now cursed. He is of the belief that he is alive, while those who face him are dead. When defeated, he is revealed as Thomas Thomson ( aka Sir Thomas).
To spawn him, first click on the Pumpkin Shrine to receive Call the Headless Horseman. Click the Loosely Turned Soil behind the shrine to hand in the quest. Each character can summon the horseman once per day.
He can also be summoned once only by players with the quest starting at the Shade of the Headless horseman. This quest can only be obtained from the Costumed Orphan Matron when the Shade has been defeated in one of the villages and the Large Jack-o'-Lantern is on the ground.
Whilst the horseman can be summoned, killed, and looted as usual in a raid, the instance limit is 5 people.

The 2009 Headless Horseman event will now have level 80 loot, unlike it's counter-part, Ahune. Blizzard got around to changing the loot and having him revamped, but didn't bother with Ahune, but Ahune shall be level 80 next year.

Commento di 320250

So is this a daily? Meaning, can you only fight him once? Or can you farm this guy to get the nice Mount he drops?

Commento di Eilonthay

Thank you for the reply. I wish it hadn't been down-rated because it's a perfectly reasonable question. I hope what happened last year remains the case this year and beyond...it would be nice to be able to do it twice in one day, even if it's only a one-time occurrence.

I'm hoping they do the loot cloning, as lvl 70 items aren't much use to a lvl 80....except to parade around in and look cool. ;)

EDIT: This is a reply to tmptfate's reply to my question that was downrated into oblivion, which basically asked how it was you could summon the Headless Horseman more than once a day. I've never done it, so I didn't understand.

EDIT: Yep, still in the game! The group I was in on the first day ended up doing it 10 times--no mount, but I got a ring out of it (that I wish wasn't unique) and brooms and pets dropped like crazy. We were all very happy. I ended up with so many Tricky Treats that I gave them all away to lower level people after I was done with my achievement...didn't see the sense in letting them go to waste. =)

Commento di tmptfate

Confirmed, the Headless Horseman returns this year as a level 80 boss! There will be updated loot obviously and (Speculation) I would also expect a Boe drop from him just like Direbrew had at this years Brewfest Event. I will edit my post with his boe item if this turns out to be true.

~~I have a strong feeling, that just like the brew fest mounts, they upped the drop rate of this mount also.~~ During the first 2 hours I saw 7 mount drop report on general (Only horde side). Even if 1-2 was fake, still feels better, than 0.3%. One also reported 2 drop out of ~20 kills. But of course it can be just a matter of luck, like everything else.
My group plans to do HH untill all four of us have the mount, so far our statistic for 3 hours of straight HH summoning:
33 kill
0 The Horseman's Reins
4 Sinister Squashling (12%)
8 Magic Broom (24%)
3 Hallowed helm (9%)
2 The Horseman's Blade (lvl 80 version) (6%)
1 The Horseman's Helm (lvl 80 version) (3%)

NOTE: This is small amount of sample, drop rate can be very different from this. Will try to update this post with later drop rates.

Update:
255 kill
0 The Horseman's Reins
17 Sinister Squashling (6.7%)
56 Magic Broom (22%)
23 Hallowed helm (9%)
9 The Horseman's Blade (lvl 80 version) (3.5%)
14 The Horseman's Helm (lvl 80 version) (5.4%)

Update 2:
420 summon. the 418th was the lucky one
1 The Horseman's Reins (0.24%)
36 Sinister Squashling (8.57%)
93 Magic Broom (22.14%)
40 Hallowed helm (9.52%)
19 The Horseman's Blade (lvl 80 version) (4.52%)
24 The Horseman's Helm (lvl 80 version) (5.71%)

... All I can say: Finally.

Soled this guy as prot pally in ilvl 226-245 gear. He was less of a challenge than Coren. Then I two-manned it, and I actually took more damage then than when I soloed it, due to conflagration contagion. There is no conflagration if you solo it.

Commento di 342532

Is it possible to take Headless Horseman down duo (Paladin 78 and Holy Priest 78) ?

Commento di AusSpyder

He is extremely easy. Duel boxxed with my druid in blues/heroic epics (max ilvl 200) and priest, bubble and renew kept me at full life easily. So if you have come here wondering if you have the gear to fight this guy, the answer is yes

Commento di rayden54

How do you get the prequest ?

Commento di 365880

Get the pre-quest by hanging out in Brill or Razor Hill. Every so often, the Headless Horseman's shade will swing through and set the buildings on fire. If everybody works together to put the fires out, the shade will come down to fight. Kill it, "talk" to his pumpkin head on the ground, and you'll get the quest to go kill the real Horseman in SM.

Tips on putting out the fire, if you put the area of effect under another player, you will throw the bucket to them, and they will catch it. This way, you can make a bucket brigade to the fires, and can douse them very rapidly. One guy at the well, throws to the next guy, etc to the end of the line where you throw it on the fire.

Fast, easy, and nobody ever remembers that you can do it.

Commento di 223475

You can summon him x2 -twice- on the same day, I have confirmed that -if you do the short quest line-, only if you haven't done it in the past before -only if it is your 1st time there-, then you will get a yellow ! and after you can redo the quest clicking the blue !

Also the mount https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=37012 seems to have worse drop rate than the brewfest ones

was able to solo him with my 38k hp protection paladin -ask outside players to buff you, fortitude,mark of the wild,etc- and use seal of wisdom, blessing of sanctuary on yourself

my DK tank frost specc with blood presence on failed to solo him

No one has posted this yet, so I thought I would. For those of you who were wondering what the sound file for his emote is, it's:

Conflag is short for Conflagoration, btw.

Commento di 471426

I've heard you must now be 75 to actually summon him. I was able to summon on a 75, but not a 65, even though you can get the quest to kill him at 65. Has anyone checked to see if a 70 can summon? Or is 75 the lowest you can be?

Commento di morillus

Id definitely say it's soloable. I NEARLY managed it on my Blood/UD DK in PVP gears but died halfway during the last phase. Can't be assed going all the way to SM to try it again - Would be good if I could just port there. :( If I tried it a few more times I reckon I'd have it down-pat, but it's just not worth the effort.

Got a warlock and hunter (both in blues) along after the initial try and managed to do it w/ no external healing whatsoever.

Can anybody tell me if the model of the armor he wears has an equipable in game equivalent?

Commento di 475545

can u be lvl 60 and still get the achievement?

Commento di GoonerW

You don't need to wait for the HH to come and attempt to burn the village down. The quest can be picked up any time.

Commento di Al39o

can be soloed by a lvl 80 good geared hunter? ^^

I want to know what his armor is, because i have the horse, helm, and blade. I want to get the full knight outfit and run around Goldshire shouting out quotes, cuz i''m a human and i look like him :P

The Headless Horseman story (WoW version)

A band of hoodlums pillaged through
and stolen from my home
Those few possessions still remained
to claim them as their own

My jewels, armor and a sword
the grave now need repair.
But adding pain to great insult
They took away my mare!

I loved that horse!
I fed her grain, the best of Stratholme’s stash.
She was my perfect getaway
But now all plans have crashed.

You’ve seen my frail soul repent?
And yet my hand is strong
I shall return, the terror’s reign
Delaying not for long

On blackened steed I’ll scorch the sky
And see my vengeance done!
...as soon as baron I have slayed,
to get another one...

P.S. You will need some WoW lore knowledge to get the point about why we see headless horseman no more then once a year ;)
P.P.S. Thank you, Isilien for your post (see first page), your poems are most delightful and gave me an idea for this reply.
P.P.P.S Alas, it was not us :(
This elusive mount is yet to be seen among HH loot.

P.P.P.P.S. Got it last year on my blood elf priest! :)

Few weeks late, but I thought I'd post it anyways.

About 3 days before Halloween, I was on my Tauren Warrior and got into a PUG that was looking for a tank. So, I got into the group, and we ran to the HH. We spawned him, watched the events, and pwned his... erm... imaginary face. Funnily enough, he drops both the Horrific Helm and the Baleful Blade. I roll need on both because, well, I'm a tank and I had been wanting both (and this was just amazing because both dropped) for a long time. I roll a 78 on the helm and a 92 on the blade (winning for the helm, someone else rolled 99 on the blade) and the PUG group kicks me and calls me a ninja (lolwut, idc). So I ask my guild if anyone wants to run for the HH with me. I get together a priest, a shaman, a rogue, and another warrior and we run. The reins drop. Meh, I pass (lol I know what you all are thinking, OMG WTF BBQ). So then I ask if I can get my BE Paladin who didn't do the quest yet. They say yes, and we run it again. I get the Baleful Blade. AGAIN. So I get my Undead Death Knight and the shaman gets his mage on. We run it four more times. Just signet rings. Makes me angry. So on the last day of Hallow's End, my guild is running the HH all day and I get in with my DK. So the Horrific Helm drops. AGAIN. And I roll a 63 on it. Some guy not in the guild rolled a 62. Lol I feel bad for posting this but hey, it was a cool thing to happen.

Can some one comfirm what is he wearing? I know the helm, mount and sword are drops from him. I´m curious about shoulders, chest, gloves, leggins, boots, cloak and maybe waist (but it doesnt dramatically change look, does it?)

Commento di Thottbot

Headless Horseman is a lvl 70 Elite. He can be summoned during the Hallow's End event in Scarlet Monestery - Graveyard.
Every character can summon him once a day. So my group did this boss 5 times in a row.

For us dropped:

Swift Magic Broom: https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=33184/swift-magic-broom
Magic Broom : https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=33183/old-magic-broom
Witching Band : https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=34074/witches-band
Pumpkin Head and some other stuff not shown on the page.

Commento di Thottbot

This boss is summonable 1 time at day for each character. no quests needed for summ him...just click on the pumkin in front of his tomb...and then on the ground behind that pumpkin....

Commento di Thottbot

He is easy, but only once you figure the fight out. Killing him does not end the fight. When he dies, his head leaves his body, and you then have a few seconds to dps the head.

The fight ends when his head dies. If you take too long on the head, after two rounds of deaths, he starts summoning adds. These can pile up.

So... burst dps the head when it shows up and this is an easy fight. Good loot too, for such a short fight.

Commento di Thottbot

Just to ease everyone's confusion, I'll post what I've learned from the past hour of experience.

There are 2 quests involving the Headless Horseman: one where he comes to Razor Hill (in Durotar) every 4 hours (Noon, 4 PM, 8 PM, etc) and one where he can be summoned and fought by a 5-man group in the Scarlet Monastery.

Quest 1 (Razor Hill):When he comes to Razor Hill, he flies around above the village for a few minutes while people are ostensibly supposed to be putting out fires with the water buckets in a quest called "Stop the Fires!". The problem with this is unless you formed a fire chain (the buckets can be passed from person to person) or you had a great many people in the village, you can't put out the fires faster than the Horseman can start them. It is my opinion therefore that you just need to get the quest when the Horseman comes, wait around until he leaves, help put out the fires and then turn the quest in. The reward is 3 x Hallow's End Pumpkin Treat.

Quest 2 (Scarlet Monestary): The quest to summon the Headless Horseman is a daily just like any other. It is called "Call the Headless Horseman" and is received by clicking on the pumpkin in the Scarlet Monastery Graveyard instance (the farthest left of the four entrances). This is the only quest you need, so don't worry about having to go anywhere else or get anything else. After each person in the party clicks the pumpkin and gets the quest, they will receive a "Dreary Candle" in their inventory. Once they have this candle they can each summon the Horseman once by clicking on the pile of dirt just behind the pumpkin.

Each member of a group can summon the Horseman once per day, so it is possible to do the quest 5 times per day within 1 group of 5. I believe the instance must be reset after each kill.

Info on the actual fight can be found in the wowwiki article about the Headless Horseman (found at: http://www.wowwiki.com/Headless_Horseman).

I can confirm that I have seen the healing ring and the helm drop off the same kill, so it would appear that multiple epics can drop per kill.

One word of advice: be careful who you group with and be very clear about whose turn it is to summon, I feel fairly certain that one member of our group did not summon the Horseman even though he claimed otherwise. The rationale behind this is that it would enable him to get another group of 5 kills later on in the day with a different set of people. Yes, I'm talking about you Nerfcos.

Small SS but this is the helm. Dropped after about the 8th run.
Our paladin healer got this. No other plate wearers were there.

Good Luck.

The fight goes something like this. First stage is pretty much a tank and spank. Once he get's to 1%, his head will fall off and both the body and the head will wander aimlessly. Once you get the head down to 66% it returns to his body, which is restored to 100%. Repeat the process and knock his head off again. This time the body will Whirlwind while the head is knocked off. Knock the head down another 3rd of the way and it will rejoin with the body again. This time he summons adds that help him fight. Knock off the head a final time and kick it down to 0. That ends the fight and the adds despawn. Enjoy your loot and flying brooms.

Commento di Thottbot

One thing you all may want to know, you can fight him more than 5 times in a day. You dont need to have the quest to fight him or to loot him only to summon him. Even if you have already summoned him you can fight him as many times as you can find a group with people who can still summon him. Just remember you can only enter a new instance 5 times in a row before u have to wait a while to enter another one again. Thats the only restriction. I have fought him 10 times today already and I'm going to do some more later.

Commento di Thottbot

Getting a candle from the pumpkin is NOT ON A DAILY TIMER!
I've got 2 today, they are definetly on some sort of timer but exactly how long i dont know. No more than about 5 hours thats for sure.

Commento di Thottbot

i know that the brooms will disappear in 14 days, but the question is if other epics wouldn't do the same ? these epics are UNDISENCHANTABLE !

Commento di Thottbot

You can get the quest and summon the horseman once every two hours. I just summoned him for the second time just before this post.

HOWEVER, the quest is daily and you can only do 10 daily quests, you can do this quest 10 times in 20 hours. Thats if you haven't done any other daily quests.

You summon the horseman in Scarlet Monastary: Graveyard which is located in Trisfal Glades. Hard to miss the giant jack-o-latern in the middle of the instance and a very fun quest.

Commento di Thottbot

Easy boss, lots of fun, great drops...good job blizzard

Commento di Thottbot

Ok just a little help and info I have learned about this. Toons lower then level 70 can summons him. We had a level 64 Paly with us last night. And now I know your all asking why we had a level 64 with us... Well the answer is simple. She was bored and felt left out so we invited her to our RAID group. Yes that right I said RAID. You can still do the summonsing quest and loot him while in a raid group. It makes the fight so much easier when you have 10 people compaired to 5. and you can each do it once. I hope this helps every one.

Commento di Thottbot

Did him with 70 feral druid, 70 fire mage, 68 BM hunter, 40 protection paladin and 40 shadow priest.

Feral druid has kara/gruul/pvp epics
Fire mage has blue level 70 gear and 2x spellfire epics
68 BM hunter has crappy green/blue gear from quest rewards

40 protection pally and 40 shadow priest had crappy healing gear ofc but they were still able to keep the druid up all the time. The only problem we had with him was during Phase 3 because we lacked dps and he was able to summon 8 Pumpkin fiends who basically slaughtered our lowbie healers, but they all despawned when the headless horseman died so it was ok.

We killed him 3 times with this group even when only 2 of us were 70.

The level 40s could roll on the epics that dropped and our level 40 paladin got the +31 stamina +60 AP ring because it dropped every time (killed him 3 times).

68 BM hunter was able to summon the boss too so you don't have to be 70 to summon him. The level 40s were however not able to summon him.

We're going to let lowbies in our guild get free epics every day until the event ends, maybe it will make them want to level to 70 so they can use it.

In short, Headless Horseman is a easy boss and you don't need a full group of 70s to kill him. 1 Good tank + 2 mediocre dps + super low levels with healing abilities is enough to kill him.

Commento di Thottbot

We Farm the Horseman using a Raid group for our guild, mostly just to let everyone wheel in their alts for a bit of fun. Our guild is more social than hardcore and we found the boss quite tough 5 man, so 10 man is much easier.

There are several points to note.

1. Each char has a 2hr timer to summon the horseman.
2. You can 10 man raid him.
3. The meeting stone level limit applies.
4. The 5 instance per hour limit applies. With a raid you must be careful to ensure you only do him 4 times in any 60 minute period, so you can farm him all day. If you reset the instance 5 times you are locked out of all instances for 1hr.
5. You MUST have a tank. Without an effective tank you will struggle - as with all end game bosses. The boss does significant damage that needs high armor protection.
6. The horseman can be taken down slowly in stage 1 and 2 (so save mana in these phases) but the head must be DPS'ed fairly quickly when it detaches. Stage 3 requires maximum DPS to bring on final head detach and then to kill the head and end the sequence. If you run short of DPS in this stage then the head will re-attach and more adds will spawn - you can AOE the adds but this isn't needed if you spank the horseman / head quickly enough (the adds "grow" on a timer before they attack).

Hope this helps.

Got this Helm after 88 kills and six failed rolls, #7 was a charm!

Commento di Thottbot

my friend got it, and he likes the laughing thing alot. REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY kool!

Commento di Thottbot

you could summon him from lvl 65+ but i believe the event is no longer availble as it was part of the halloween skin bliz had in place, i might be wrong tho i havent checked

Commento di Thottbot

Ring of Ghoulish Delight is identical in every way bar the name and icon to the Eye of the Stalker.

The Horseman's Signet Ring is identical in every way bar the name and icon to the Cobalt Band of Tyrigosa.

Witches Band is identical in every way bar the name and icon to the Band of Halos.

So, theoretically, you could have two of the "same" ring, despite it being Unique.

The Helm is just uber kewl! Use: Laugh MAniclly.

Commento di Thottbot

You can't summon him, he was from the 2007 halloween event. You'll have to wait till Hallows eve comes back around, and even then there's no guarantee he'll drop the same stuff. Mighta missed the boat on this one

Commento di Thottbot

OMG is he going 2 drop a mount

Commento di Allakhazam

The key is to have a decently geared tank and healer, a well geared dps wouldn't hurt either. the other 2 in the group can be filler. As long as you know what you're doing and focus on the head when it pops off you should have absolutely no problems.

My first run we weren't too sure how it went, so we wiped.
Second time did it easily, he dropped the signet ring and a broom.
Third he dropped the healer ring and the hollowed helm and a broom.
Fourth time he dropped healer ring again, the signet ring and a broom again I think.

I'm really looking forward to the helm, I got both rings on me now, and the others in my group really all want the dps ring, but haven't seen that drop yet.

Good luck to everyone on the drops!

This is a Daily Quest, you can only do it once a day.
But... you can loot from other player's summons.

Drops are not denchable or sellable.

Commento di Allakhazam

Just FYI

You CAN start a raid in here. Just get a bunch of people and take turns summoning, killing exit reset. Rinse repeat. Adding summoners as needed. You can go for quite a while doing this.

You of course need at least a good tank to hold agro. After the good tank even a mediocre healer can do this since you should have plenty of DPS to take him down the 3 times fast.

Commento di Allakhazam

Are there going to be aditional drops? It'd be nice if there was a helm now for each class and spec for the headless horseman. Cause this will be pointless if it's the same drops. Please let me know cause I plan on doing this event now that I have a lvl 70.

Commento di Allakhazam

2 epic rings in 20 mins not bad

Commento di Allakhazam

Is he possible to tank as a 69 Prot Warrior with good Superior gear (not quite pre-kara)?

Commento di Allakhazam

HH is an easy tanking task, provided you have AoE to take care of the Adds in the final phase prior to the 3rd head detachment. I've tanked him a number of times; Helm dropped my 17th time.

I'm Arms, no points in Prot, and I easily kept aggro on this guy. I didn't even need my full tanking set, just the Blue Aldor chest, epic helm, epic ring of immpenetrable defenses, Darkmoon Card, epic trinket, blue trinket, blue netherwing Shield, while using epic Aldor sword.

The head's a bit harder, as it's immune to Taunt. HH is immune to disarm

The laugh alone make it a great helm, but any semi-competent tank whould be able to hold aggro on HH. Just be sure to know what your role is when the adds arrive.

Commento di Allakhazam

It does seem to count as a daily quest, but I summoned him at around 7am server time then just summoned him again at about 11:30pm server time So I think like the ram runs it is on a 12 hour cooldown. It has definitely been less than 24 hours and I have summoned him twice. So my guess is that it's 12 hours. The second time I summoned him it did not seem to decrease my daily quest count though.

Commento di Allakhazam

i have seen someone with the mount and it adjusts itself to your riding skill so it would go up to 100% land and the 280% flying. So if you only have lvl 60 land riding skill thats all the mount would do for you untillyou got the flying skill.

another note is the horseman is REALLY easy this year and in all the kills i had to heal the tank with renew a couple times. Just make sure you have the tank hold agro on the horseman and when the head pops off dps the heck out of it cause we could do it almost in 2 phases. only due to the head being fast enough tabing onto it or trying to click it can betricky sometimes. but otherside once you have the detached head locked on dps and youll down him in no time.

Commento di Allakhazam

took 6 hours and like 20 runs to get the helm for my warr

Commento di Allakhazam

yey,got the head on my second kill :p and the ring on the first :D

Commento di Allakhazam

My war is decked out in quest blues and Breastplate of Kings, wielding a Qel'Serar (yes at 70...I have an emotional attachment to it); with only 28 points in prot I was able to tank effectively grouped with peeps decked out in Kara/SSC gear, including an enhancemant shammie.

We killed him 7 times by filtering other toons. He dropped the helm twice, Witching band thrice, signet ring once, ring of ghoulish delight twice and the swift magic broom once. All in all a good haul.

DPS is the key here, the head was always down within seconds and we simply ignored the pumpkin spawns. If you don't have high DPS and you're a caster...conserve mana!

3 Stages

1 Stage
Headless horseman: On his horse. Does a cleave attack. Hp will go down fast. If hp gets to 0 his head comes lose and you need to nuke it fast. (The hp of the head is the really life-bar of the headless horseman.) When the head is lose, the body will walk around randomly and do a melee aoe, so look out.

Tank: Tank and spank

DPS melee: Do damage as much you can. Go all out on the head.

DPS non aoe: Do damage as much you can. Go all out on the head.

DPS with aoe: Wand or nuke till 80% mana then wand. (In later runs you will know how many mana you need to kill the adds in stage 3. Than adjust you fighting style to it. Longer or shorter nuke at the beginning.)

Healers: Heal tank

2 Stage
Headless horseman: The head goes on the body again. And his hp will return to full. He will start throwing pumpkins at one target that hit for 1k and do a fire based aoe for 6 secs (500 per tick). If hp gets to 0 his head comes lose and you need to nuke it fast. (The hp of the head is the really life-bar of the headless horseman.) When the head is lose, the body will walk around randomly and do a melee aoe, so look out.

Tank: Tank and spank

DPS melee: Do damage as much you can. Go all out on the head.

DPS non aoe: Do damage as much you can. Go all out on the head.

DPS with aoe: Wand or nuke till 80% mana then wand. (in later runs you will know how many mana you need to kill the adds in stage 3. Than adjust you fighting style to it. Longer or shorter nuke at the beginning.

Healers: Heal tank and players hit by the pumpkins.

3 Stage
Headless horseman: The head goes on the body again. And his hp will return to full. He will start summoning adds. Every 30 seconds or so. 4 of them, they drop down from the sky and need some time to activate. They have +/- 3.5k hp and downed easily by an aoe-er. (where you saved you mana for) If hp gets to 0 his head comes lose and you need to nuke it fast. (The hp of the head is the really life-bar of the headless horseman.) When the head is lose, the body will walk around randomly and do a melee aoe, so look out.

Tank: Tank and spank

DPS melee: Do damage as much you can. Go all out on the head.

DPS non aoe: Do damage as much you can. Go all out on the head.

DPS with aoe: Wand or nuke till 80% mana then wand. Wait for the adds to come and activate than aoe them down.

Healers: Heal tank and aoe-ers.

If you don’t kill the head at the end of stage 3, than that stage will repeat itself till one of the two parties is dead.

good luck all
Redone it totally, hope you guys can read it better now and its more clear.

aye he is Easy..

Grinded him for about 4 hours, 12 kills.. got everything i wanted on 2 chars..

U can do him 5 times with the same group.. Each member can summon him once every 2 hours. Each summon does count to your daily Q's, but thats only your own summoning of him..

In short hes very farmable.. What u should do is get all ur level 70's there and keep changing group setup with ur other alts, so u can keep on downing him..

Happy hunting! ^^
