This will be one of the most difficult achievements (if not the most) for the Halloween holiday event. The drop rate of the squashling pet drop rate has been horrible in the past and then if it does manage to drop you have to win the roll.

The cloth helm has a much better drop rate and will not be so much of a problem.

评论来自 Nariya

If this stays in we'll have what....3 Violet-Proto Drakes per server per year? If they did everything else for the meta achievement? The Sinister Squashling is like the rarest dropped pet in the game. I don't want people rolling on my precious Pumpkin just to get this achievement to (eventually) get a faster mount T-T

评论来自 Squirldude

They should replace that "and" with "or"... after the craziness of the Brewfest mounts (I started offering gold because my rolls were so unlucky), I don't want to have to grind for a silly pet that I'll never use just for the violet drake... although, I guess that's the point... but getting ONE rare drop should be enough IMO.

评论来自 Aerius

I was lucky enough to get one of the Brewfest mounts, but I also know a lot of people who didn't. If the Proto-Drake wasn't a 310% mount the luck element might be bearable, but it's the sort of thing that very few people will pass up the chance to get. As it is there's little more to do than hope you get it; the only consolation is that the Proto-Drake won't be attainable until Brewfest next year anyway, which means that even having to wait for next year wouldn't be so bad.

评论来自 Malgeras

Definitely. Wowhead lists the squashling as being a 2% drop, which means that someone who does all five summons every day of the event will likely only see the pet drop once.

My advice is offer people insane amounts of gold to pass on the pet for you. This is what I did for the brewfest items, and it seemed to work pretty well. Good luck everyone!

评论来自 brionl

I managed to get a Squashling last year, but I think I only ever saw the helm drop once.

评论来自 Nummytaterz

In reply to this please dont give us personal experiences it's a random chance to drop if it happened to you congratz but that doesnt really affect us. Thanks

That didn't Mean vote mine down guys : / lol

评论来自 JobR

today both the helm and pet dropped on the first kill one person was lucky enough to win the roll on both :(

评论来自 Zulathar

This achievement is going to screw a lot of people in the long run. Both of the items required are dropping very to rarely. I suggest Blizzard should remove this achievement and replace it with something easier.

This way a greater number of people can unlock the title "The Hollowed". A small percentage of players will do all the required achievements anyways. I can't see a lot of casual players visiting ever trick or treat spot in Azeroth and the Outlands...

I have slayed the headless horseman 40+ times (I "trick" people : /). I have seen the minion drop once and the cloth helm drop twice, lost all three rolls.

Voruk The Hollowed... sounds sexy doesn't it. :D

评论来自 ASilentO

This is a game of luck as much as it is of skill in the PvE world. I'm sure you've had your bad loot-runs of instances; I know I've had mine, running Shadow Labs 30+ times and leveling off it twice just to get my final piece of Assasination (Which, by the way, never droped once.). Just because you have had bad luck, doesn't mean everyone is.

Please, be more rational before you demand Blizz to do anything with any aspect of their game. They know what they're doing, and they do it well.

评论来自 targresh

Either i have really good luck, or the game just likes me, both the hat and pet dropped on the first kill i did, and i have seen one or the other every time i went afterwards

评论来自 Cyradis

I would agree, if not for the limited time frame to get these items. Something like Mr. Pinchy, that's a fine one for a low drop rate. Something like Baron Rivendare's mount, that's a fine one. This is not.
This sort of achievement is made for every type of player, and yet it is possible that even someone who spends the entire hallows eve event farming Headless Horseman, they will not get it. That is not good planning.

This quest would be OK if:
a) It required either the hallowed helm, or sinister squashling. Or
b) The hat and squashling had a MUCH higher drop rate. Or
c) This was an achievement, but not linked to the title.

Combining low drop rates and limited time is not a good plan - it should be one or the other, not both.

评论来自 Boshea

The problem with this being removed from the meta-achievement is that when everybody has their Violet proto-drake we'll then all complain about how they're not cool because they're too easy to get. People will argue whether or not anything with a low drop rate should be part of an achievement because they don't want to put the time into farming it (Pintchy is the best example for this).

I don't know if the drop-rate has been buffed or not, but I've seen at least the helm or pet drop once every time I've gone. I've only seen the plate helm drop once, and the reins haven't dropped yet (and considering it's a feat to get the reins we probably won't see many drop). I don't understand why everybody needs to get their World event achievements done this year, you're looking at least a year of play time for to get the Proto-Drake. I also beleive people don't understand what the word "achievement" means.

So are we gonna ahve the same arguement for Peddlyfeet and Noble Garden in a few months?

Im Multiboxing 5 shamans (let the bash begin) and i was able to farm a pet and the head in 10 summons.
That's the beauty of multiboxing, if it drops, u decide what to do with it, and no one complains :P

On a sidenote, i also farmed Coren Direbrew for the Kodo, and in 80 try's, the best was one Ram.

I just hope i can get the HH mount, and one already dropped while doing the boss with friends of mine on my solo chars.

Tbh, i dont think the mini pet and the head are that hard to get, but as u all may know, some drops won't drop even if u farm forever :P

Be glad that the 20 mask achievement was removed, that one was the true pita.

The mini pet must have like a ~10% droprate, but the head must be ~5%.

That achievement should be to get ONE of the Horseman's rare drops (Pet, Hollow Helm, Horseman Helm and Horseman Sword)

That would make a better situation for everyone.

评论来自 Gobi

Well, Blizz says they're not going to change the requirement for this achievement, they're happy with it the way it is.

Post here

We have no plans to change this achievement or remove it from the meta achievement. The drop rates were adjusted from last year to be more forgiving, so third-party data concerning the drop rate isn't accurate. A Mask For All Occasions was far, far less likely to complete within Hallow's End than Sinister Calling; the latter is reasonable enough to remain within Hallowed Be Thy Name.

Zulathar,
You edited 3 times and you couldn't spell it Hallowed?

评论来自 veryhollowlegs

I just gained this achievement without even knowing that it was an achievement. I am happy though. Proto drake her I come.!

评论来自 Ladanian

If you really can't seem to get both by just killing him daily you can farm him:

1. Aquire a group with a tank, healer, warlock and another dps.

2. Open up "Who" and search 65-69 (Yes, they can pick up the daily to summon him too). Whisper them telling them "Want to kill the Headless Horseman? Free epic rings, you just cannot roll on the helm/squashling". (They'll accept these terms because they will be happy with just the rings).

3. Summon them and kill the horseman with Master Looter.

4. Give them their ring then boot them and summon the next person in line. The warlock should get another soul shard each time you kill him so that should not be a problem.

I have successfully done this over 100 times. With any luck you won't have to do it that many times...
Happy Farming!

评论来自 Malgeras

While this achievement is still difficult, please note that the 2% drop rate currently listed by wowhead is incorrect. Blues have confirmed that the drop rate has been increased, and the Armory currently lists the drop rate as being 3-14%.

评论来自 Benke

2 days ago, we did HH with 7 summons.

First the Hallowed Helm drop.

Then the last kill the pet drops. Both won by the same person.
He got really lucky there.

评论来自 Idanian

I've run this 20 times before today. I've seen 3 pets and 2 helms... Which to me is an increase on the pet drop rate. However, the helm seems to have dropped less based on last year's experiences... Still no mount though.

I'm just down to this and the Toothpick achievement for the title. (An average of 30 possible packages and nothing. Meanwhile my lv. 1 shaman has over 60 toothpicks and a flawless grin.)

When in doubt, though, get some guildies and "buy out" their roll for the stuff...

评论来自 cfeuer1

in the first 3 kills 2 helms dropped.

40-50 kills total now, no horse, no more helms, no pet, and only 4 brooms, nor the plate helmet.

评论来自 cfeuer1

I wish the game would be smart and NOT drop a ring EVERYbody already has. tired of seeing

Everybody has passed on

At least make the rings Disenchantable I have all 3 now and hate to see a purple just sit on the ground cause everyone has it

评论来自 Starkie

I just got finished with a run, and the 2nd to last summon, the pet dropped, which I was lucky enough to win the roll on, the last summon, the helm dropped, which I was un-lucky enough to not win, but oh well, still two weeks to go. I think its honestly just a case of getting really, really lucky.

评论来自 Jorkor

Is it absolutely sure that the drake is a 310% mount? Because here it says otherwise:

评论来自 Wolfly

I got the Hallowed Helm from the Horseman, and today to my utter surprise I got the Squashling from a Treat Bag. Unfortunately it didn't trigger the achievement, still waiting for a GM.

评论来自 Ellesar1

just got the helm from an inkeeper instead of a sack containing candy.

So, this provides additional drop chances.

don't know if the pet can also be obtained this way

评论来自 thycondrius

u can obatain the mini pet in the trick or threat bag. Today i have found it and i complete all the hallowed end fest achievement

评论来自 will5639

I have some guildies who have been helping me get extra summons by us swapping out alts. Average 10-20 summons a night. Tonight will be our 4th night.

I've seen the mount 1. plate helm 6. hallowed helm 3. And the sword enough times that even a priest has it. But not yet to see the pet.

The best rule we've came up with is "These are no longer luxery items, they are quest items. If your not going for it, you cannot roll for it."

Blizzard honestly goofed on this one regardless of what they think, if average of 3/5 people wanted the pet and assuming a 2.5% drop rate. In theory that would be 120 summons by the same 5 people for everyone to acquire it. Or 24 days worth of 5 summons if that was all you were allowed. Last I checked there's only 16 days of hollows end.

评论来自 lelorufus

agreee with everyone else dumbest thing ever. i especially hate when ppl who arnt gonna do the rest of the ahcievements get it, when ppl like me wasted time doing them :D:D:D:D::D:D::D

A fantastic method of completing the achievement. Me and 3 friends went in this afternoon and rotated random 65's in for their summons. In three hours we had Sinister Squashling X4, Hallowed Helm X1 and 3 swords. Oh and all the 65's got their epic rings as promised.

评论来自 Squirralfire

The Sinister Squashling and Hallowed Helm now drop from trick or treat bags given by innkeepers. High drop rate supposedly.

评论来自 2OfDiamonds

This might cheer you up!

I just pulled my sinister squashling out of a treat bag I got handed by an inn keeper for trick or treating.

FLEX!

I just got a helm out of a treat bag.

I already had one.

i just got my full achievment in 2 hours :/ 2 times trick or treat and i got both items :) seems to be pretty high droprate from trick or treat

The helm dropped 3times the same day for me. n the pet has sofar dropped twice for me. tho on different toons so i don´t have the quest completed yet :(.
With that said i think the droprate is better then u´d think.

评论来自 TheShaman

Just verifying that they do actually come out of treat bags as well. I saw a level 5 yesterday with one . I was rather aggravated...

评论来自 kuonji

I have been trick-or-treating as often as I can since the hotfix. I'd say at least 15 times. Neither have dropped for me yet. At this rate, I believe I'll complete the masks achievement before the sinister calling achievement.

评论来自 doodle43

Step 1 Invite a buddy to a group

Step 2 Set it to Master Loot

Step 3 Invite random people who hopefully will not see it on master loot

Step 4 ?

Step 5 PROFIT!

Using these steps I managed to ninja the mount, the sword, and the broom all in the same run.

They spammed trade for hours and we aren't likely to get a group for some time, but who cares? I got what I wanted and my friend got what he wanted.

评论来自 chilichump

I have done atleast 9 HH's per day, 5-6 trick or treats per day, and the "put out the fires" daily every day... I've seen maybe 5 squashling drop in all of that time.

9x9 = 81 attempts on HH (at least, probably closer to 100 total attempts)

so we're looking at a maximum of a 5% drop chance. The helm, I've seen 8-10 of since I got one from a trick or treat bag.

I've got 5 days left to get this done, and I don't like my chances. This shouldn't be such a hard thing to do, the drop rate should be closer to 25%, so that you've got at least a 1 in 5 chance of getting 1 every day.

评论来自 Starkie

Alright, I have to share this experience with all of you, because it has to be by far the funniest thing I've ever had happen to me.

One of the first runs of this year, I happened to get the pet, and my best friend, on his own run, but near the beginning of the event, got the hallowed helm.

Now, since that time, we've both been trying our damnedest to get the other one, each day running and failing, on our own. But today, we finally decided, that maybe we'd have better luck running it together, so we did.

The first 3 kills, no luck, whatever, whats new. But on the 4th kill, low and behold, the hallowed helm drops! I am so stoked, I need, and everyone else passes! Bam, its mine, and so is the achievement, and so is the title (Once they remove the mask one). Excited, I proceed to summon the 5th and final fight, we kill him, and what do our eyes see? but the pet! So, my friend nearly @#$%ing his pants, needs, and everyone else PASSES.

I can not believe that just happened.

Thought you might all enjoy that story.

评论来自 hoenselman

Well it's defenitly do-able. i got mine pet today. i were lucky got the helm + broom on the very first day. But i killed the headlesshorseman like 40 times. Today i saw the pet drop for the very first time. i needed , it was an group with all friends so they gave it to me for the tittle.

So guys you have to work for it. it may be an hard achievment. if you guys want an easy tittle go get the "jenkins" tittle

评论来自 shohanu

people are saying this is gonna be one of the most difficult achievements to get cuz of low drop rate and stuff. but considering hallows end is like 2 weeks long u can trick or treat once an hour and u can get both these items from the bag (however small the chance is) it shouldnt be too difficult. 3 loots a day should get u it but some people might get lucky.I just started again after losing my 70 and happened to get the helm 2nd trick or treat and the squashling 3rd but my friend got helm 2nd squashling like 30th so its all luck just keep trying youll get it

评论来自 Yttrium

Is it possible for me to delete my Hallowed Helm after I have the achievement? I have a severe lack of bag and bankspace as it is and I don't want an item that I will never wear.

评论来自 Arikara

I hate the squashling... two and a half years bck i wanted it, killed HH nearly everyday for the time of the world event. Didnt get!
one and a half year bck... i still wanted it, but this time badder due to achievement. did i get it? nope. did every achievement but this (i got the helm, ofc) except A mask for Every Occasion.
a half year out the future: i stand in SM at 00:01 shouting GIVE ME MY SQUASHLING, HORSEMAN!

评论来自 Thakor

This is the most idiotic achievement in history, and should not be part of the meta. You are required to get 2 items that have impossibly low drop rates, and not only that, if they do drop, you have to win the roll against 4 other people, meaning that however low the drop rate is, your chance realistically of getting it is going to be 20% of that. Ridiculous. Even if they drop from treat bags, myself and my friends who participated in the halloween event this past year were unable to get both drops no matter how hard we tried. One of my friends ran the horseman 5+ times a day the entire event and never even saw the pet drop and he also trick or treated nearly every time his cd was up. This is by far the most unforgiving and impossible achievement for the meta.

评论来自 Haxan

This achivement gives me nightmares. I have done Hallows End for two years, killed Headless Horseman almost every day and never got the Sinister Squashling. And the droprate for it seems awfully low. Because of this I didnt complete this achivement last year. Blizzard must increse the droprate, both from the boss or from the bags or this will be as terrible as the "Be Mine" - achivement during Love is in the air.

评论来自 Stryker666

This is going to be the only achievement stopping me from getting my Violet Proto-Drake.

Last year i missed out on both the helm and the pet several times.
During merrymaker i missed out the cooking achievement because i didn't having cooking then. Now its 450 so it won't be a problem.

Brewfest shouldn't be a problem, they all seem pretty easy.
I'm also missing three from christmas but two are easy (and i have the required items) and one is pvp. now i have read up on it i know they will be completed the first day.

So it seems all my hopes lie on getting two random drops =(

Good Luck everybody!

*Edit* 18/10/2009
Got my Helm first run! Just waiting on the pet now ^_^

*Edit 2* 18/10/2009
Got my Pet from a Trick or Treat Bag. Shame it was on the wrong character =(

*Edit 3* 18/10/2009
This is taking the Michael. I just got a second pet two treat bags in a row on my alt!

HURRAH! 29 Kills and I finally got the Pet.

评论来自 nattylife

so with the item trade w/in 2 hours change and the fact the achievement doesnt say you need to learn the pet, you think you could trade the pet/helm around to ding the achievement for all in yer group?

评论来自 palikuca

Trading head to some other person after you get it doesnt work for achievement,friend traded me hallowed head and i didnt get credit for my achievement,so you need to loot it or to win in on roll if it drops from headless horseman!
Good luck with drops,but it seems that blizzard has inscreased chance since we saw 2 pets and 1 head droped from our very first run this year :)
Drop chance on pet seems to be very very high,2 runs 5 pet drops

its either me beeing lucky or you dont even need the bags to drop it any more.

saw 3 squashlings and 2 helms drop in one run (5 kills)

even if that was lucky RNG drops, lots of people seem to have it already from last year, so I looted both from 1 kill

You won't get credit through Trading.

评论来自 Shihli

You CAN get credit through trading. I was traded the helm earlier tonite by someone who already had credit but mistakenly won the helm.

Initially I did not get credit towards the achievement. However, after going through a loading screen, I was given credit - the helm is not soulbound to me yet so I could conceivably trade it to someone else as well.

IT DOES WORK. Just go through a loading screen to do it.

评论来自 WoWarn1991

Both dropped in same run, bought them of those who won them for 1,5k gold each.
Just to make sure i would get the achivment

评论来自 thelaks

Rumor has it you need to go out and back in to SM or log out and in again to get the credit. Confirm?

评论来自 Rahizzle

NOTE:
I had an idea that if you traded around the hat in the party, you'll get the sub-achievement, like you can do with the EPIC acheivement, however this does not work.

You need to physically win the item for the achievement to register it.

Have fun, good luck!

评论来自 larslinde

~~10 runs~~ (edit: 2 runs, 10 kills ofc ) for me so far, 1 pet drop, 1 helmet drop, and one mount drop.

Luckily I won helmet and mount :-)

评论来自 Narrow

Either you've been insanely lucky palikuca or I've been insanely unlucky, because I killed him 10 times so far, and I've only had 10 rings drop - no pets and no helmets.

- I guess it's all about luck afterall, the droprate seems horrible for me and it seems wonderful for others.

评论来自 rasimpson

What do you mean it won't be attainable until Brewfest next year? They removed the achievement that required you to drink 12 brews from the meta.

评论来自 Fyuu

Contrary to the aforementioned unfortunate luck of many of you, I managed to have the Helm drop within my first day's set of runs. Only needing this as I had the pet from last year, I rolled and I won.

I can understand why so many you are frustrated at having to fight the dreaded RNG to finish this achievement and earn the Violet Proto; been there, done that (and I suffer from Anxiety too, ouch). That said, you don't want to trivialize something you work so hard for, no matter how desperately you want it, otherwise it loses it's special nature.

Take it from someone who's completed the grand meta, it's so worth earning this the right way. Give it your all and you will get it.

Good luck!

评论来自 kcz421

I honestly thought I was going to have the hardest time with this one because my luck with meta achievements is notoriously bad, in my guild. Kind of a running joke. haha.

Anyway, the helm dropped with Horseman and the Squashling dropped with the smashed-pumpkin deal in Brill. All in the space of 25 minutes.

Now if I can just carry that luck over with the mount....

评论来自 Cirayne

I just got both the Sinister Squashing and Hallowed Helm from a Crudely Wrapped Gift.

You get that from doing the daily put out the fire at the starting towns, IE Goldshire, Kharanos, and Azure Watch (For Alliance), and smash the pumpkin from the Headless Horseman.

Hope this helps.

评论来自 bigloadabs

Pretty freakin lame blizz is making this achievement required for the title. Considering it is based on luck and we have no control over acquiring the items. They should increase the drop rates or make them purchasable items with the otherwise useless pumpkin treats. Ive alrdy got 95% of the achievs for title, but im concerned about this last one....

评论来自 rkaycom

If you have the item traded to you and keep it, will the other person lose the achievement when they relog?

Edit: Its just that the way I see it, the person that keeps the item gets the achievement, not the one that wins the roll, what if it was on master loot? There wouldn't be a roll...

评论来自 Wyrdassil

Just got one out of a treat bag - was extremely excited when I saw this. Just keep trying any way you can - you'll eventually get it.

评论来自 elvispresley

Last night we looted the helm and traded it to all 5 people in the group.
Went out the instance and back in, on the achievement tab it turned Green.
But when i logged in this morning it was gone again.

I dont know if we should have relogged while having the helm equipped (didnt try that).
And I also dont know what happens when y already have the pet.

评论来自 Sithicus

So I've lost the roll on the Squashling 3 times and can't seem to get it out of a Treat Bag. Granted it's still very early in the event and there's plenty of time to try and get one...problem is when my entire meta is riding on the luck of getting it (literally ....everything is done except Sinister Calling), it's making the event stressful and not fun at all. Didn't Blizz say at one point that they wanted to remove any random drops from the meta completely? I'm pretty sure that's why they removed Perma Peddle...I know I'm just being qq here but it still sucks...seriously ..an entire years worth of work riding on dumb luck. :\

Is there any objective way to tell how often both items, Sinister Squashling pet and Hallowed Helm drop from their respective sources (pumpkin smash daily, trick or treat hourly treat bags, or daily Headless Horseman summon)? Thanks.

评论来自 highwind123

Is this "hallowed helm" really in game ?

I killed the hhm ~50 times last year and ~10 times this year.
I got TWO hhm mounts out of him.
I used the trick or treat option at the inkeeper probably about 100 times last year and this year.
I got probably about 20 pets.

And guess what... the hallowed helm achievment is the ONLY thing which stands between my warrior alt and my 310% mount. nice rng blizzard, really nice rng.

评论来自 Wratherax

I don't know what the hell everyone else is talking about when they said trading it works. This is what happened to me.

Some stupid ******* rolled on the helm by mistake (didn't need it and didn't mean to roll on it) and won it, auto looted it, then traded it to me.

I don't get credit because I didn't loot it. All I need is that ****ing Hallowed Helm. I got screwed because of someone else's mistake and Blizzards ****ing flawed system....

评论来自 Ooglepants

This seems to be the hardest (or most luck intensive) part of the achievement. I have been doing the daily and have NEVER seen the helm drop. 2 characters, 10 times a day (almost every day thus far) and trick or treated 10-15 times. I'm hoping that since I've gotten everything BUT the helm, the gods of blizzard will somehow increase my chances of getting it. The pet seems to be a much higher drop rate - to the point that I have gotten two by accident on my characters. Best of luck, but certainly I am getting slightly anxious at this point on seeing it drop.

评论来自 Rijen

In case you havent seen this blue post

We wanted to take a moment to clarify how the Sinister Calling achievement works for Hallow’s End. The text says that both a Hallowed Helm and a Sinister Squashling pet need to be “obtained” for the achievement to be complete. More specifically, the pet needs to be learned and become part of your pet spell book for that part to be complete. The Hallowed Helm on the other hand needs to be looted by the character to fulfill that aspect of the achievement.

We apologize for any confusion in this matter and hope you enjoy the rest of Hallow’s End!

The trading techinc work like a charm for me. Another person looted the helm (won the roll) and he traded it back to me. At first i didnt got the achivement BUT after getting out of SM it popped green. (havent got the pet yet from sinister calling).

Strange thing is a guildie tried to do the same yesterday but didnt earned credit for the achivement. (maybe he did something wrong dunno).

Anyway hoping for the pet to drop for me real soon :)

Just a heads up for those who didn't find it clear in the above posts. YOU CANNOT GET ACHIEVEMENT CREDIT FOR THIS IF YOU TRADE FOR EITHER ITEM. YOU MUST LOOT BOTH PERSONALLY FROM EITHER TREAT BAGS OR Mr. HORSEMAN. Ok sorry for caps, but I wanted to clear this up since I saw conflicting posts about this above. I tried trading a party member for it and zoned back to Dalaran and still no achievement credit. Hope this helps.

i must be extremely lucky. i got my sinister squashling at my very first run at headless horsman!
still i miss the helm lol

评论来自 davidwh2

you know the truth is that im not afraid to work for an achievement, the feeling of accomplishment is a great one. i still have to agree though this drop rate is sad.

my wife and i have killed the horsemen everyday, we are at 30 - 35 kills and ive only seen the Helm drop 2 times (i dont even care if i get the mount right now). fortunately for us we have only gone with guild members and that has given us a better chance, if we were in random groups who knows if we both would ever get the pet and helm. (she finally finished her Meta last night when the pet dropped). im still waiting, while im at work she is trick or treating for me every waking hour on the hour. still nothing...

if blizzard is so determined to make this apart of the Meta why not change it to obtain the pet OR the helm, and if you happen to get both drops then have an achievement for that just not a requirement to finish the Meta. agree?

it sucks to know that like most others, i finished all the achievements in the first couple of days. (with the exception of some glitch candy buckets) there is a chance that i wont get this title this year.

评论来自 JKraft29

I've had a guildie who has gotten the pet eight times. Blizzard should make the pet b.o.e. I even tried writing a ticket to see if they could move the pet I got on a toon last year that I never use now to my main.

评论来自 Laujoe

I dont know about the everyone else but i am getting sick and tired of blizz makeing achivments only realy close to doableif you are a high level, the laugth is it seems complete random even if you can get trick or treat.
Ofcouse this would be a good opatunity for blizz to reward good manners if are youare polite and friendly to the inn keeperby rewarding with a treat punching them with a trick for bad manners.
Then maybe they might try it with the healer class and find more of us willing to help, as I am defently sick coments
when in a party like priest come :(

Countless hours, toons, dings, achievements, guilds and good times..... and after it all, it's going to be this ridiculous Squashling that turns me off this game for good. lol/sigh

评论来自 Animalistic

heck, i think they musta fixed it... just got the pet and learnt it, and a party-mate got the helm and traded it to me.. no achievement. Relogged and didn't get it either. Have been moving about through different zones, no achievement.

评论来自 Pizzapi

On my level 30 Warlock, every hour I would hearth, get trick/treat, vendor items and get repairs. Doing that, I got both the helm and the pet within a week of the event beginning. Last year I got 2 helms and one pet. This is available for any level.

评论来自 lufebr

Guys,

The Sinister Calling achievement is totally unfair to be considered mandatory for the meta achievement.
The probability of getting the items are very very low. Even if you play 24 hours per day, every day during the 2 weeks of event, you still have a chance of not getting the achievement at all.

Im my case: I play wow every day, and i'm doing everything that i can to get the achievement: Since the first day, I'm getting a bag from the innerkeper every hour i play, i'm doing the daily every day, and i'm also killing the boss every day.

To improve my chances, I begged for help, and my friends are now doing everything they can to help me too. So, i'm killing the boss about 8 times a day (with no competition for the helm, if it drops, its mine), and I'm also getting 1 bag every hour even when i'm working.

The result: After 12 days doing all that, I got dozens of Sinister Squashlings, and 16 different masks. Still, no single Hallowed Helm yet.

Of course I've been unlucky.... but.. should all that effort be worth nothing? Should this achievement be so impossible?
In 2 days the event will end, and my chances are getting shorter...

One year acomplishing every world event.. and I may have to wait for one more year to get the 310% mount, just because one of the achievements is lucky based, with a really low drop rate.

In my oppinion, Blizzard should consider the drop rate a bug, and make this achievement, and all other lucky based ones, not required for the mount.

Blizzard, please fix the Sinister Calling.

It was the only thing I needed last year.... now it is also the only thing I need next year. Saw it drop 2 times, lost both rolls. Never got it from trick-or-treating. So upsetting.

评论来自 Thundurstar

Take this out blizzard! As soon as it's out. Send me my drake because im officially done. :(

评论来自 Samphis

After an extremely frustrating experience of attempting every day for the summon, and every hour for the trick or treat, and not getting the pet, but having gotten (and gotten credit for) the helm, I just noticed both in-game and on the armory no longer having credit for the helm, yet I still have it in my bank. I hope this means that the achievement is being retuned into a vendor-style holiday item like Noblegarden was. I really don't want to be one random piece of loot away from my proto drake AGAIN.

评论来自 Lutenantj

i am saying from experience that if you do not get both the pet and the helm in the same year, it resets the achievement (i was like WTF?)
i got the helm, not the pet
the pet did drop multiple times for me, but i had bad luck
have fun!

评论来自 PhantomsDesire

Oh joy, It's taken me 3 years come Hallow's End to finally earn the meta achievement (because I missed random holidays throughout the years.) and now after reading all these comments, I am REALLY nervous about getting my final title "The Hallowed". Cripes, I hope they have adjusted the drop rates, because when I go for these holiday titles, I definitely put forth the effort, just like everyone's mentioned. I'm bustin' out my Sam doll from the movie "Trick r' Treat" for luck! Merry Samhain everyone..........

评论来自 MingtheMerciless

This achievement was a real pain in the arse for me. I kept doing the fire and horseman dailies and trick-or-treating whenever i could, and the f-ing pet didn't drop! I got the hallowed helm 3 or 4 times though -.- My increasingly desperate search for it came to an end on the second last day when i looted it from the Headless Horseman, i need rolled on it and won it! I then smacked it upside the head for not coming to me earlier, stupid pumpkin! >:(
Blizz should really remove this from being part of the meta-achievement.

评论来自 johankj

You will now get that items in Loot-Filled Pumpkin
You can only get "one" every day until hallows's end ends.

You will get this:

when you have open your Loot-Filled Pumpkin

Good luck with Hallow's End =)

评论来自 Grigor12

This got to be taken out of the meta since the latest update with server-wide parties, atleast in my opinion since now, it won't even drop off the boss anymore but instead it will be like brewfest and be lootable from your bag you get..! Silly updates since you can't farm them anymore!

I mean come on... just having luck to try and get an achievment ONCE a year is absurd!

I mean for example, the "We had it all along! *cough*" achievement may require a whole bag of luck, but then again that achievement is available 365 days a year! Instead of this achievement that is only available 14 days a year!

Shape up Blizz! :/

评论来自 Eluzai

agree

it was bad last year, on another char I never managed to get the pet, and I farmed the boss several times

Now we have only 1 chance a day? That's just retarded..i need only the hallowed title to get my violet drake but I'll never get it, it seems

Since lfg came out I've never been able to get a mount or pet from a seasonal boss..ahune? no luck with the pet
brewfest? people running around with two mounts, sometimes even dropping em twice and I was lucky enough to get a mace and vendor it

c'mon blizz, remove this from the meta

评论来自 Load

Well to be honest you have two (2) chances a day by killing the Headless Horseman and doing the daily. Besides that, you also have an (abysmally small) chance of getting the items from a Treat Bag that you ~~can pick up~~ have a chance of picking up each hour.

That said however, I still find this achievement VERY inane and thoughtless (I can see that blizzards crusade against RNG doesn't apply to stuff like this huh?). And the amount of people I hear claiming to ONLY be missing this single achievement for What A Long, Strange Trip It's Been is just disheartening.

Well, now my Trick or Treat cooldown is soon up and I'm going to do what I can to maximize my chances to get this achievement, even when that will require me to be excessively logged in to WoW for the coming two weeks.

评论来自 jodicker

I have only needed this achieve for the past six months to get my purple drake. I was unlucky last year and could not get a Sinister Squashling to drop. Although, I did get the Hallowed Helm last year. So on the first day of Hallow's End this year, BAM, I get a Sinister Squashling from the Cuddle-Wrapped gift. But, no achievement pops up so I check it out and it shows the Hallowed Helm part as incomplete even though I have it equipped from last year? Should I open a ticket?

评论来自 DollPrincess

same here, I've been lucky to get the Brewfest Kodo to drop for me but for this to be a part of a meta achivement is just crazy. I got most of my other achives by effort now I have to depend on luck which I don't have much off bcuz RNG doesn't favour me. Having run for Deathcharger and Hawkstrider and they haven't drop for me

All i can say, THIS IS JUST NUTS, I've been doing every Achv, holiday since this year, because i wanna get proto drake! SO FAR SO GOOD, only missing this holiday and xmas one, and i can get it so i was looking through stuff i need to do AND NO WAY IN HELL I will be able to get 2 items! I HAVE THE WORST LUCK in my life ever! I will try!.

This is just plain stupid. FML.

btw we should post this crap on blizz web site and tell 'em. I Will file a ticket to GM asking to remove this crap from HH and do for daily or something, or better drop rate, anything to get it easier since ppl been trying, hard

评论来自 RoguewolfSC

This is the 3rd year waiting for the damn helm and pet to drop. Achievements should not have to rely on pure luck, just hard work. If I don't get it this year Blizz can kiss my ass goodbye, not that they give a sh%t! They think by making us wait yet another year we will keep paying, nice scam!

评论来自 Kaliene

All I really have to say is that if and item is called a "Loot-Filled Pumpkin" it should be filled with loot. Even if it is only the flying broom when it isn't one of the other items. I like many others have been waiting on this singular achievement for my proto-drake, and to receive nothing other than the justice points from the boss is more than a bit frustrating.

评论来自 Chigyy

my Sinister Squashling dropped today in treat bag....i thought that it drops only once in Horseman daily..
but it also drops in a treat bag...
so im waitin for the helm...
and good luck all with the title...

评论来自 Thedalius82

To get this achievement, i cranked some numbers, which may or may not be right, i'm no statistician but i've seen it done :P

Numbers here are done Using Drop data information from wowhead here. which may be out of date.

For a Level 80 character:

There are a total of 336 attempts (14*24) to Trick or Treat from an innkeeper.
-16 of those attempts can be tossed out due to tuesday maintenance (sometimes more, sometimes less)
-50% of those remaining are automatic Failures, due to Trick.
-That leaves 160 Treat Bags to open to try to get the Pet and Hat.
-So, the chance at NOT getting each item is 98.7% (1.3% droprate for both)

0.987 ^ 160 = 12.3% chance at the end of it all still not walking away with each one from Treat Bags.

Now for the 'fuzzy math' of people needing to Sleep, Work/School, do something other than sit and watch that hour count down. I sleep about 8 hours a day, have class four hours a day and have a wedding trip to attend for a full weekend w/o WoW during the event (not my own though~).

-8*11 (sleep) + 24*3 (wedding) + 8*4 (classes). = 192 total chances gone, I'll trim those right off the top.
-I have about 120 Chances to get a bag or 60 Bags over the course of this holiday.
-0.987 ^ 60 = 45% chance for me to NOT get each of the two items from the Trick or Treat Bags.

"There's the daily for putting out fires!"

0.982 ^ 14 = 77% of not getting it. (81% for me!) At an average of the 1.7% &1.9% droprates

"But wait, there's still the headless horseman event!"

7% chance at getting either drop from him.
0.93 ^ 14 = 36 % chance at NOT getting it. (I have about a 45% chance at not getting either this method too, due to missing a few days)

Working the figures for my personal case now we get 0.45*0.45*0.91 = 0.164 or 16.4% chance at not seeing each item.

Now since i need both items, that means 0.836*0.836=0.6988 or 69.9% chance at getting both this entire holiday for a 'normal' person.

TLDR version -
I have only a 70% chance at getting this, mathematically... with no skill involved... this doesn't sit well with me.

This is the Last achievement i need for Hallow's End so... i begin my wait...

SUPER LAME. I've done it twice so far (since you can only do it once per day) and I've gotten "no loot" both times. I don't want your measly 24 justice points. I don't NEED THEM. What I do need is another helm since I got mine the year before, and the stupid squashling.

评论来自 Kannas

After the mount failure that was my Brewfest, the RNG gods are looking out for me. Can I get the odds of getting the Helm from my first trick or treat, and the pet from my first HH kill ever?

评论来自 andoring

Two years ago I got the sinister squashling on my Auction wench. Went to the bucket... did the trick or treat and got it... first and only try. I did a little dance. Now, I struggle to get it on my main where I'm actually trying to do the achievement. Karma?

评论来自 shipwrecksos

For every other World Event so far this year, Blizzard has taken these "rare drop" pets and items and made them obtainable through some kind of seasonal specific currency through a vendor, or removed the item from the meta-achievement requirements, or BOTH. So, why they decided not to make some kind of "Hallow's End" currency/vendors for this stuff is beyond me. It would have saved SO much frustration for so many players!

评论来自 Mitear

no it won't give you master riding if you accomplish it now, after the implementation of 4.0. you had to have a 310% speed mount pre-4.0 to get it for free. not even gladiators this season gets 310% for free. it's pretty unfair imo, since they earned it before the patch :/

评论来自 Mymloch

I'll agree that this is ridiculous. I don't feel good about not being able to get the violet proto achievement just because of a small, seemingly insignificant non-combat pet.

I would think Blizzard would have made the achievement require you to get either one or the other, but to have 2 RNG items required for a single achievement is a little much. I mean, they might as well have left the Flimsy Masks achievement on the block, as well.

I am trick or treating every hour, and have my wife doing it for me while I am at work. I am running HH and Fire daily as well. If doing that, one still has a good chance of NOT getting a single achievement item, then that's simply bad form.

评论来自 Senaru

Has anyone made a petition from the players to Blizzard about dropping this achievement from the Hallowed be Thy Name requirements? I see so many high ratings on people suggesting it be event currency/vender items, and other suggestions o'course. I'd sign the petition if there is one currently out there for this, it's just ridiculous. even with the increased drops just from the horseman, most people spend their days parked in front of an innkeeper, TrT'ing on the hour, praying they don't get a trick, and hoping the helm or pet drops this time. I for one, got eight penny pouches in a row after a days worth of tricks.

I think almost all the achievs' within each separate yearly event for What a long, strange trip it's been' (if not all, I'm not sure) require some skill and determination to do- and somehow gaining a pet with a low drop rate, (even if raised a lot from previous years, there are still tons of people who never see it for them) just...doesn't feel more than pure, gut-wrenching woe and anger when its been a year, and another...and another. While Blizzard assuradly wants us to keep paying to play all those years of failure, I'd think they might want their players actually sticking around for more reasons than this. We may never see this change, but hey, they DID change the brew-fest achievement because we complained about it enough, perhaps if we shake the walls a little more we can get this one changed, dropped from the meta, or venderized.

评论来自 Graznok

I keep getting both the helm and the squashling, but ONLY on those that already got it. To get both of them is disasterous difficult.

This is due to the Random Number Generator they use in WoW. Due to the seeding in this RNG, often the same result (or lack of result) repeats itself over and over for a period of time.

And we all feel it very well for the most awful meta achievement ever. I rather do something sure that takes 2 hours, than have to gamble day out and in for those 2 items.

评论来自 VertigoRising

According to mmo as of about 3 or 4 days ago, master riding WILL in fact be given for long strange trip. I understand there was some confusion because of debate but blizz released it was so fairly recently.

评论来自 wolfie614

This is becoming beyond a joke.

I have one toon who has been trying to get this for the last three years. Still not got either.

I just watched a quildie of mine get both the Helm and the pet in the same run. And he normally does not go for any of the achievements.

My missus also now has 3 pets on one toon, and no helm.

I understand that random is random, but PLEASE, what do we have to do to get this!

HH runs every morning, Put out the fire and loot the pumpkin head, Trick or Treat every hour (about 13 per day), on every toon, and not one has both the pet and helm yet.

评论来自 spineli

OMG!
i've tried again and again to do this with my main! i'm doing the daily dungeon everyday for the past few days and i also do it many times a day so i'll have a chance to drop it from boss.. today i log in with my alt and they both (hat and pet) drop from the bag! i was like "you've got to be kidding me! no way!" i'm reallt pissed off-.- at least i have hope now to get them with my main too. cause i'm not really in the mood to do all the achs again with my alt to get the tittle:P

评论来自 AveryZan

Why not simply make the boss drop the pets and helmets like it used to? That way people can repeat this until they drop rather then just getting 1 shot from a bag that usually drops a masque or has no loot. This would be the perfect solution that so many frustrated players. All i see are bad rings noone ever wants, mix it up a little.

评论来自 Aphelios

This Achivement should be renamed "No Soup for You - Come Back, 1 Year".

It IS possible to get both of these in one pumpkin. I got them both in the same bag, on my 3rd day. I'd still say drop rates are low.

This thing is driving me insane. Right now I have like 60 tooth picks, 5 squashlings, the horseman's reins, the horseman's sword, and a whole load of other crap, but i have yet to get the hallowed helm. And to make it even worse, one of my other characters found the helm from trick or treat! I vote for removing this achievement from the meta achievement, as it is the last thing I need till i get my violet proto drake, and it just seems impossible to drop. That, or allow me to trade some squashlings for the helm.

Thanks Blizzard. Thanks a lot.

评论来自 TGFseb15

Not sure if the drop rates have been increased but today (1st day of Hallow's End) I got a helm from the Horseman's bag you get when you kill him in the Scarlet graveyard, and a pet from trick or treating. After that I completed 卡利姆多的糖果 and among a ton of toothpicks I got another helm and another pet.

评论来自 plymoc

Got this achievement on my hunter today. Went in, killed the Horseman, got my pumpkin, opened it...

Squashling and helm in the same pumpkin, along with some candy.

It was a good day.

Edit: On my priest, just got a helm, squashling, AND a broom (temporary, of course), all in the same pumpkin.

评论来自 nguyenhothanh

This achivement has become easier than ever! Both the pet and the Helm can now drop from the Handful of Treats. Which means: no more luck needed! Just visit the listed Candy Bucket locations and they WILL drop for you. During my journey for the Trick and Treats achivements, I get about 7 pets and 10 helms.

I also recommend not to buy these at the vendor and save the candies/tokens for Feline Familiar and Little Wickerman instead.

Just wanted to throw it out there- for people like me who just needed the sinister squashling for their meta achievement- it's possible just buy the sinister squashling off the auction house from people who get it from their dungonfinder reward bags.

As of 10/19/2013, it is possible to get a Hallowed Helm from a Handful of Treats and have it count towards the achievement.

评论来自 aaron22303

So, from what I've read, no one's answered the question of what the "real" criteria are for this achievement. Can you purchase the helm and pet and have it count, or do you have to either have them drop off the Headless Horseman or the bags of treats? That would be more useful, and so far I don't read anything definitive that's recent stating one way or the other. Anyone want to comment on that one, as it would be beneficial for all concerned. Thanks! :)

评论来自 Aamunkajo

If you want to get the achievement personal for several characters, you have to cage your existing squashlings before learning the pet. When I had 2/3, and used the looted sinister squashling (the one from the event; caged is another item), I did not get the achievement. When I removed all my sinister squashlings, the credit was attributed.

评论来自 bncmakesanb

New things for 2014.

2 new pets, spectral cats, the wickerman is now a toy, and items dropped in HHM are 540 ilvl.

The 2 new pets as well as the toy cost 150 treats each, but they shouldnt be that hard if you have alts. Im using two leveling toons to grab all the treats in Kalimdor, EK, outland and northrend. Then I will use a 90 to redo the ToTing. Bet ill get the pets and toy before the stupid mount drops.

评论来自 Aztecia

I can confirm if you loot the 邪恶的南瓜娃娃 on an alt, you can mail it to the toon you want the achievement on. As long as you mail it BEFORE learning it. You can't learn it, cage it, and pass it on. Loot and mail, learn it on the toon you want the achievement on, and it will give you credit for that part of the achievement. Just did it myself. :)
