Tausche 38 Zauberbesen gegen Arfus!

Oder um es anders zu formulieren, Arfus ist verdammt selten. Die Chance beim ersten Versuch des Tages pro Account ist etwas höher und soll auch durch vier Flüche erhöht werden. Ob die Flüche die Dropchance auch bei weiteren Versuchen erhöhen, ist unklar, viele berichten davon, dass sie Arfus bei einem späteren Versuch ohne Flüche erhalten haben. Die Chance scheint unter einem Prozent zu liegen, auch ich bin aktuell schon bei 136 Versuchen und habe bisher nichts. Ich bleibe dran, solange ich noch kann.

Kommentar von Skylar1505

Ich hatte heute endlich Glück nach 94 Versuchen. Habe es ohne die Flüche bekommen, daher braucht man diese nicht zwingend aktivieren.

Kommentar von Takarata

115 Versuche...13 Alts, jeden Tag und da ich die ersten beiden Tage der Schlotternächte in Urlaub war, hätte ich nur noch morgen gehabt.
Mir tun jetzt schon alle Leid, die nicht so viel Glück haben werden wie ich. Keine Ahnung was sich Blizz bei so einem Mist denkt.
Nur 2 Wochen im Jahr und dann ne Chance von 1:100
Das Mount habe ich ca 10 Jahre gefarmt, am Ende mit 12 Twinks....470 Versuche da war das Hündchen wenigstens leichter...

Ach ja, natürlich habe ich NICHT Windgeborener Velocidrache: Schlotternachtsrüstung bekommen... aber ich hab ja noch 13 Versuche morgen...Grrrr

Kommentar von Anderhill

Just got the pet on 11th kill of the day from the regular epic lootbox without any wickermen's curse.

Kommentar von Claptrapp

The drop rate seems extremely low, i have run 40 chars out of 60 ( each try was under the effect of 4 curses ) and the only new thing I've dropped so far is the Der Scharlachrote Schlüssel.

Maybe the new rewards work like the previous box event where you have more chances on the first try of the day.

Edit : 60/60 chars done nothing dropped.

Day 2 : 120 try still nothing
Day 3 : 180 try still nothing

Edit 2 : I'm tired of spending so much time for nothing, I decided to only do 20 characters a day.

Day 4 : 1st try of the day gived me the manuscript. I got nothing else after 19 try.
Day 5 : 30 more try still no arfus :/
Day 6 : 20 more try still no arfus :/
Day 7 : 40 more try still no arfus :/
Day 8 : 60 more try still no arfus :/
Day 9 : 40 more try still no arfus :/
Day 10 : 60 more try still no arfus :/
Day 11 : 80 more try still no arfus :/ ( I resubbed my 2 others account for more chances still no sign of this pet good job blizzard )
Day 12 : 4 try nothing
Day 13 : 60 try nothing
Day 14 : IM FINALLY FREE FROM THIS SHT ( first try of the day + 1 try with my 2nd account )

TOTAL = 596 try

Edit 3 : i love wasting 4 - 5 hours a day for 60 try to open a trash can .....
Only 4 days left + maybe 1 try since the event fade at 11h00 in the morning.
I don't have the words to describe this crappy drop rate system, but only one sentence aimed at Blizzard: F you !

Kommentar von EagleFangKarate

Also got it on ~20th kill no curses.

Kommentar von Lornaa

Day One: 12 kills with level 60+ characters who can get the epic loot pumpkin. Zero Arfus :( Don't think he drops from the rare pumpkins :(
Day Two: 12 kills, 6 with curses and 6 without (failed due to poor healers). Zero Arfus for me
Day Three: 12 kills, all with curses, no pet again
Day Four: 14 kills (levelled another 2 characters to 60), all with curses, no frickin pet again :'(
Day Five: 15 kills (yep, levelled another character to 60) all with curses, still no pet :'(
Day Six: 15 Kills, all curses on, no Arfus
Day Seven: 15 Kills, all curses on, no Arfus
Day Eight: 15 Kills, all curses on, no Arfus
Day Nine: 15 Kills, all curses on, no Arfus
Day Ten: 15 Kills, all curses on, no Arfus
Day Eleven: 15 Kills, all curses on, no Arfus
Day Twelve: 15 Kills, all curses on, no Arfus
Day Thirteen: 15 Kills, no curses as I've given up, no Arfus
Day Fourteen: 15 Kills, no curses as I've given up, no Arfus

So, I'm done. After 23 years of loyalty, and more than $30,000 given to this company, they have finally broken me and driven me away as a customer

So, out of 200 kills I had:
50 x Magic Broom
37 x Sinister Squashling
1 x Windborne Velocidrake: Hallow's End Armor (on the first try on day one)
14 x The Horseman's Sinister Slicer
7 x The Horseman's Horrific Hood
1 x The Scarlet Key
16 x Seal of Ghoulish Glee
15 x The Horseman's Ring
14 x Band of the Petrified Pumpkin
9 x Wicked Witch's Signet

Honestly wondering why TF I am still playing as this game is supposed to be fun and yet this is very definitely not even resembling fun. If I don't get it this year, I'm not going to bother doing this next year (if I still bother playing at all given Blizzard's f*** ups like this event) as spending 4-5 hours every night doing this $%^& is the epitome of not fun

Kommentar von thebl4ckd0g

How are people doing this? I just logged into retail WoW and I don't see headless horseman available to queue for; and no candy buckets are showing up... Even though the calendar says 10am start time. :(

Kommentar von Flux99

I can confirm I got Arfus literally on my first try today. Then I got it again on a 3rd char. No curses or whatever. It simply drops.

Kommentar von Majdus

I received this good boy today - kill number 20. Character level 60, all four curses, and no dmg taken.

Kommentar von Shredbull

I ran the Hallow's End Holiday Dungeon on my alt army and I looted a total of 48x Beutegefüllter Kürbis on the Day 1 of the event. "All runs were done in hard mode." Haven't seen the manuscript Windgeborener Velocidrache: Schlotternachtsrüstung or the pet Arfus drop a single time in all of these runs.

Day 2 Looted 48x Beutegefüllter Kürbis and still no sign of the manuscript or pet. "All runs were done in hard mode."
Day 3 Looted 48x Beutegefüllter Kürbis and still no sign of the manuscript or pet. "All runs were done in hard mode."
Day 4 Looted 1x Beutegefüllter Kürbis and received the pet Arfus on my first attempt of the day. "Done in harmode." Screenshot
Day 5 Looted 1x Beutegefüllter Kürbis and did not receive the manuscript yet. "Done in harmode."
Day 6 Looted 1x Beutegefüllter Kürbis and did not receive the manuscript yet. "Done in harmode."
Day 7 Looted 1x Beutegefüllter Kürbis and did not receive the manuscript yet. "Done in harmode."
Day 8 Looted 1x Beutegefüllter Kürbis and did not receive the manuscript yet. "Done in harmode."
Day 9 Looted 1x Beutegefüllter Kürbis and received the manuscript Windgeborener Velocidrache: Schlotternachtsrüstung on my first attempt of the day. "Done in harmode." Screenshot

I've been told if you run a holiday dungeon like this with two accounts at the same time, they both count as first daily attempt, but I don't know if this is actually confirmed.

Also for everyone asking "why I'm running it on hardmode?" Take your time and check out this screenshot.

Kommentar von Tartyna

Day 1: 7 alts (2 with all curses) = Zero Arfus
Day 2: 7 alts (all curses) = Zero Arfus

Kommentar von Jaydruid

40 plus tries some with curse some without, no Arfus drop

Kommentar von Volleynova

Glad I could make it, Arfus.

Kommentar von Linguist

Dropped for me on the first kill of the day with all curses enabled.

Kommentar von Janaq

ZOMG when this good boy goes to sleep on you and his tail keeps twitching like he is dreaming - heart just melts !

Kommentar von Dabacus

OK so had Arfus drop on my 1st run yesterday and had him drop again on my 1st run today. Offered to trade him to someone in the group yet I can not trade him to anyone else in the group or put him in a cage. Feels bad to just vendor him when other people want him so bad

Kommentar von Redard

Got it from the loot-filled pumkin on first attempt of the day. I had all curses up (a lot of people said they got it without the curses).

Kommentar von overthinker

Curses Totems do not seem to matter. I ran this 42 times so far with and with them active and still for not seen the pet drop.

Kommentar von gtulgar1903

I got it today, Arfus pet is so cute do not forget to activate hard mode
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f71AmEe1BjY

Kommentar von Maethgwen

I looted him today from a loot-filled pumpkin on a lvl 60 character without the curses which was my 15ish attempt of the day. Someone else from my guild also got this goodest of boys after a dozen attempts.
Dropchances on the first attempt of the day might be higher but it can still drop after! Don't give up

Kommentar von sarahlogic

I looted mine on my first kill of the third day of the event with all curses applied. It was my 38th attempt. I also received the Windgeborener Velocidrache: Schlotternachtsrüstung in the same Beutegefüllter Kürbis. I looted a second arfus on the first kill of the day on the eight day of the event with no curses applied. You cannot learn a second version of the pet. Not sure why I'm downvoted, just trying to provide additional data points while the top comment is just complaining lol.

Kommentar von JimmyO

Any data on getting this on a character that gets one of the lower tier loot-filled pumpkins?

Kommentar von jigso

First kill of the day and the pet and the drake saddle mog dropped from the same bag. It must be true that first kill of the day has an increased chance.

Kommentar von canadianspirit

I have done all my lvl 70's and I have 20 and no pet drop :( Is there a secrwt to getting it?

Kommentar von AlexL1118

It would be interesting to know if there are any level limitations to get Arfus.

Kommentar von BortDandy

Got the Pet AND the mount in my first run this year after 9 years of nothing from the loot filled pumpkin. feels like I used all of my luck for the rest of the expansion at least

Kommentar von Kohutavsusi

Can confirm, it does exist. Day 3 with alt 13, no curses up.
Never give up, never surrender, sometimes take nap in between.

Kommentar von thebl4ckd0g

Just got him tonight - does anybody know if he's unique? i.e. you can only get 1 of him?

Kommentar von Adorion

Why would they make this not cageable ☹️

Kommentar von msmoonkitty

Does anyone know if curses add to the drop chance beyond the first kill of the day? I have over 70 attempts so far, most with curses and no luck as yet and not sure if there is any point beyond the extra chance for the first kill of the day?

Kommentar von Rivenblade

I can report that you DO have continual chances to get the rewards by doing hardmode, even on on Alts. I didn't get anything on the first two attempts, but on the third I got Arfus, 15 attempts later (yeah no life) I received the Velocidrake Manuscript. The question now is, "will the new way be acceptable to the majority, and was this just crazy luck that can't be replicated for most players?" No ides, but what I can say is... "MORE SOLO CONTENT BLIZZ; PLEASE?"

Kommentar von gellehar

Received on roughly my 25th attempt of today after cycling through lots of levels 60s or higher each day of the event so far - I did use the curses, but unsure if that affects the drop chance for this one. Good luck, and keep trying!

Kommentar von Shaila1

I just wanted to leave a big f you here for blizzard for still not being able to design fun holiday events in 2023 and instead forcing bs like this pet on players.

Meanwhile some random player walks in and gets the pet first try. Why is it so freaking damn hard to just put the god damn pet on a vendor or add a bad luck protection or anything. I wouldn't be mad if this wasn't a time limited event.

Just another dissapointment.

Feel free to downvote but running this stupid dungeon with 50+ characters a day without getting the pet on a time limited event is not fun.

EDIT:

Oh wow, this blew up over night. I made this comment out of pure frustration yesterday after in ran the dungeon with another 40+ characters and got nothing out of it. Glad i am not the only one seeing it this way. The comment might sound rude the day after but for real, why can't they get it finally right. Like others mentioned they already realized the problem and still they doubled down own bad rng with this new pet i simply cannot understand it.

"RNG is part of the game, these type of grinds are fun and worth doing, giving it all easily is opposite what a MMORPG stands for, stop wanting it all easy..."

My guy, i have nearly 44.000 achievement points in this game & 97 % in ATT. Don't lecture me on "easy grinds". That is not the problem for me here. The problem is, that it is a time limited event and it forces me to run the dungeon every day with x characters for the pet before the event is over and the pet will be gone. I would like to do other things in the game. Things i actually enjoy. But i can't because i have to farm this pet and hope for RNG gods that i will get it. And this does not feel good and it is not fun.

I am ok with rare things or hard grinds. But low drop RNG should not be a thing on time limited events period.

EDIT 2:

I finally got it today after about 130 attempts and therefore my pain ends for now. Got it on my warlock with no curses up, was the 6th attempt today.

Am I happy to finally get the pet? Well... it's more like I'm happy not to continue playing this dungeon every day with 50+ characters. Of course it is a cool pet, of course i'm glad to finally have it. But that's not the point. The journey to get this pet simply is not fun and there are plenty of suggestions on how to do it better. I am somewhat "lucky" now getting it after "only" 130 attempts. But others are not so lucky or do not even have the time to spam this dungeon on 50+ characters and this sucks. And i could have been one of those players. And I have deep compassion for everyone who hasn't gotten it yet or won't get it.

The holiday events in wow should be all about fun. But systems like this create this toxic gaming atmosphere that leaves many players angry and frustrated. Just like it happened to me. And i don't think it has to be that way. But this is on blizzard to decide. They need to do a better job with it. And therefore my criticism remains unchanged even though I have now received the pet.

I hope you all will get your pet and wish you all the best.

Kommentar von Lunae067

I got this pet today, first run of the day on my account with all 4 curses enabled.

Kommentar von thebl4ckd0g

Does anybody know if he is unique? i.e. you can only get 1 of him?

Kommentar von garfeeld

I got it today, i started the fight with all curses up, lost them during the fight.

Kommentar von Vexice

Looted on my 19th alt of the day, 4th day of the event. I was making 37 attempts per day (all my 60+ characters) so 130 attempts total. Never put up curses except for the first attempt for the achievement.

Absolute joke of an acquisition method. Textbook case of how to not respect your players time. This could have simply been made the reward for the new quest line.

Kommentar von SaSkIn

got it on 70th kill or so , 26th kill of the day got it with an 64 lvl druid. good luck guys

Edit: Last guy didn't have any curse. I tried with all curses, 1 curse, 2 curse etc. All combinations so idk anything about that part.

Kommentar von Zuckerguss

Probably just a coincidence, but: after I logged in my 3rd alt for the day and before I queued for a run today, I realized that I hadn't opened the Loot Filled Pumpkin from yesterday, so I opened it, and it contained Arfus.

Today's first run was with all 4 curses, but yesterday's wasn't.

Kommentar von haunterwing

ah so its a no item yearly 2.0 oh how fun

Kommentar von ismee

I can honestly confirm that I got the pet Arfus on my newly dinged level 60 resto shamaan just now, with NO Curses active!

Been doing HH for a few days now, on and off with curses up and no curses up and when I saw some one wrote that they got the pet with NO curse active, I tried it on my newly level 60 with bad gear and bam there it dropped.

So be patient and you pet collectors will get it soon too like me
/hugs

Kommentar von Pevonia

Blizzard, you know full well the difference between Grinding and Pure Luck! Why do you keep doing this to us during time-limited events? You want us to grind for two weeks only to not get lucky? Well that sucks! Running Headless Horseman a million times is hard work, agreed, but it’s not the same as grinding 100 exalted reputations or running around in Vanilla to level 40 to finally get a slow mount that costs so much gold you can't even afford it when you get there. Remember those days Blizzard? You nerfed that didn’t you?

When I get this pet, and yes I will get it someday, I’m not going to feel like I’ve achieved something. I will have finally gotten lucky just like I did after the 13 years it took me to get The Horseman’s Reins. But what’s the point? I’m still going to pay my monthly subscription to do the million other things I want to do. And as much as I am happy to see other players get lucky, I secretly resent them for it just like I feel when I see someone on that #!&*% Love Rocket. Stop setting us up to fail. Remember your own tip, “A little kindness goes a long way.” How about you guys show a little kindness to players who are willing to do whatever it takes to get this pet during this year’s event instead of creating a toxic environment you want us to all play nicely in. If you want to make us feel like we’ve accomplished something, make getting Arfus a fun grind, not luck!

How you ask?
What?
You can’t think of anything?
Your creative devs used up all of their collective imagination with DF on what some consider to be the greatest expac since Lich King? Ironic that Arfus is a nod to that amazing moment in Wow history. Well as Mojache said in Jimmy, The World of Warcraft Story, “You’re kinda lazy Blizzard.” You guys come up with this awesome pet and then just stick him a Loot-Filled Pumpkin along with everything else the RNG gods may or may not ever give us! Stop it! Just stop it.

Here’s an idea! Why don’t you create a quest something like this. “Adventurer! Arfus, The Lick King has wondered off following his ghostly nose to one of the Candy Buckets somewhere in Azeroth. He could be anywhere. Please help us find him and bring him home.” And then this Adventurer goes trick-or-treating all across every expansion and after they've collected every single handful of treats they find Arfus. And that's just one idea. Come on Blizzard, use those great big creative brains of yours and make this holiday fun! You can do it! It’ll make you feel good about yourselves and we will all truly love you for it.

EDIT:
The really scary thing about what you've done with Hallow's End is the precedent it sets for all the other holidays. Look at the traction these comments have gained. Don't even think about doing this to Feast of Winter Veil. If you torture us again like this during what's supposed to be the happiest holiday of all, we're all going to turn into Grinches with our hearts shrinking three sizes too small, bitter and miserable. Don't let that happen! It's fine if you want to make us work for it but please give us something exciting to look forward to that we can actually get during the event!

Kommentar von Fildrong

Arfus ? Seeing the method of obtention, seems more like Arf*ck.

(sorry i'm feeling frustrated having to farm on 20 rerolls each day just to have a shot to this cool pet)

Kommentar von satukie

On the off chance people need motivation

Day 1 25 toons
Day 2 25 toons
Day 3 25 toons
Day 4 25 toons
Day 5 8 toons in got Arfus

Took Curses on all toons.

Kommentar von WoWGirl305

just posting, on the 4th day of running Headless horseman dungeons, running my only 12 eligible toons (lvls 60-70), I finally collected Arfus from the Beutegefüllter Kürbis with -no- curses activated and on my last toon for the day, making it a total of 48 attempts. Keep going <3

I'd like to add a quick note; I agree with most folks here, this is a bunch of bs. At the very least make it available through the vendor considering this is time sensitive. Like the time rift vendors, you can either farm it or if you just want to give up, you just have the worst luck, buy it from the vendors. This is ridiculous having the need to farm an army of alts to try and collect such a cutie and if no luck this year? gotta wait for next year. </3

Kommentar von AveryZan

This design is horrendous and such a missed opportunity. Hard mode in a premade that was difficult and awarded Arfus for clearing would have been pretty cool. A special questline for a fun holiday event would have also been neat. Could have at the very least made it be purchasable with the tricky treats. Instead it's just a frustrating experience for everyone that doesn't highroll.

It's a disappointment for people that wanted a challenge.
It's stress the most casual players don't want that for a holiday event
It's an annoying grind that no one wants.

At this rate, Blizzard could have put this on the in game shop, probably gotten less back lash and made some money.

Kommentar von Nurmat

Got pet today on 2nd atttempt of the day, 4 curses active

Kommentar von Soge131

Being trying 6 days with 13~~ characters, yesterday I obtained the dragonriding customization on my 6th attempt. Today I got Arfus on my second try, all of them with 4 curses. I also try to get 0 debuffs from the curses (not getting hit by avoidable mechanics) but I doubt it has any effect. TLDR: This can be obtaind on tries other than your 1st try of the day

Kommentar von DCCXVIII

Somewhere, deep in the bowels of Blizz HQ:

Ion: How can we get people re-engage with our garbage and terribly designed holiday dungeons?
Peon 1: Hmmm, maybe give them an obnoxious hard mode because apparently we need garbage m+ mechanics in the content that people who deliberately avoid m+ do?
Peon 2: What about another $%^&house rare item drop to force all the people who got the mount to come back to do a dungeon they were so happy never stepping foot in ever again?
Peon 3: Maybe another stupid dragon riding customization that no one will ever use with the same drop rate as the mount too even though it's no where near as valuable?
Peon 4: Errr....what if we just put all that stuff on a vendor so people can have something to work towards. Especially for people with really bad RNG so they don't feel terribad about not getting the pet or mount customization despite running the dungeon every day on hard mode with 500 alts?
...
Ion: Throws Peon 4 out the window.

Kommentar von Cheshize

I just thought I'd do this for the saddle, first try I got ''Arfus'' had to come and check if it was rare. Glhf guys!

Kommentar von DirtGod

Blizzard could've just made this cageable or put it on a vendor for currency so you can atleast grind for it. As a serious pet collector it's really obnoxious having to run this on all my alts every single day. Not to mention that you can't even get the epic loot filled pumpkin if you are below level 60, so that further limits the number of alts I can use. Cringe design, honestly.

Kommentar von lizzurd

Finally got him today! It was my first run of the day with all 4 curses up after 85 total attempts since 10/18.

Edit: I do agree that he needs to be available from the vendor though. I would have liked having that option available :/

Kommentar von Lleyta

I got it today at 11th try of the day (114 total) with all curse up, anyway I hope they change this frustrating mechanism of drop for all time-limited event

Kommentar von freelandford

I got this today with no idea it even existed on my first try on the event on any character ever and I don't even do battle pets, lol

Kommentar von dsylxeypanda

All this people dosnt want to be unique, they dont want to put in the work and farm and hope to be lucky, so why dont blizzard just give everyone everything... mounts, glad mounts, glad titles, make everyone the same, no one shall be unique, EVERYONE SHALL HAVE EVERYTHING, THERE SHOULD BE NO DROP RATE, 100% DROP RATE, WORLD FIRST MYTHIC RATING ? WHEN THEY MAKE IT GIVE THE PROFIT TO EVERYONE OR MAKE US BUY THE TITLE FROM A VENDOR RIGHT ? ATLEAST SO WE CAN GET IT AS AN ACHIEVEMENT BEFORE NEW EXP SO PPL CAN SEE HOW NOT UNIQUE WE ARE , GOTTA MAKE THEM EQUAL PEOPLE DREAM COME TRUE, RIGHT BLIZZ ?

this is mostly what I see from people, just complain that they dont have the mindset to keep going, I love that things have a really low drop chance, makes me feel more unique for haveing some thing even if I got lucky, I dont have glad, but I like to see unique people.

Kommentar von Conzec89

This was a pretty annoying grind.

121 attempts later and Arfus dropped. All kills was done with curses active.

2nd character for the day got it.

Kommentar von slashtwo

Arfus is a must have. Don't give up!

Kommentar von mangowarrior

Fun Detected™

Kommentar von JustinBarber

I just want to confirm that even AFTER you got Arfus already, it could still drop from the next bag again.

I got Arfus on my first try yesterday, a range DPS (hunter) with all curses accepted. Before that try, I had about 45 kills with all curses or no curses, all failed.

Today, I did one try, same hunter, all cursess accepted, and I found Arfus plus the manuscript in the same bag.

My advice is to use a range with full curses on your first try of the day (much easier with full curses on with a range DPS) and dont die.

Kommentar von msmoonkitty

Finally dropped well over 300 kills. Many runs with all 4 curses but the run it dropped on was one with no curses (cos was healing.)
What a joke, right now there is no excitement or happiness in the drop even. I just actually feel frustrated that this kind of bs keeps making in to the game despite everyone (and a even a dev themselves) admit this isn't fun or good gameplay. I just feel relieved this hell is over. And before anyone says "but you don't have to run it" well I do because I am a pet collector and have worked damn hard at maintaining my pet collection, if i "don't have to run it" then i don't even have to play WoW or log in anymore, and TBH if blizzard keep up with this kind of garbage for holiday items then yeh that might be what ultimately happens.... Best of luck to everyone else going for him <3

Kommentar von Wormov

Ok got it on 3rd try and today I got it once again so it will be 4th try I guess. Anyway it can drop even if you already collected him.
And you cannot trade him with other players, sadly :(

Am a particularly big fan of the adding insult to injury, by means of filling your bags with rubbish you can't vendor instead of the pet. #fun!

Kommentar von Vamphiir

He should be able to fly along side us! He's a ghost after all

Kommentar von Drunkendk

In an insane stroke of luck, I managed to loot both Arfus and Die Zügel des Reiters in one Beutegefüllter Kürbis. So I can confirm that it is possible for both to drop at once.

Proof: https://ibb.co/Q9dxjKQ

Kommentar von Indeolo

Has anyone gotten this without completing the quest line om at least 1 char?

Kommentar von angeldefury

I am exceedingly frustrated with the item and drop rarity . I don't have many alts and only 4 are high enough to be eligible. Running 4x a day (all in hardmode) has yielded no Arfus (although I did get the manuscript and key on the first day).
Meanwhile my bf gets it on one of his alts running with me but of course blizzard is asshattery so nope, he cant trade it even though he was in the group with me and its also not cageable. I am a hardcore pet collector and with only a few days left now of the event I am not super hopeful. Meanwhile I continue to collect infinite blue broomsticks, useless masks and squashlings when it decides to drop anything at all. Why BLIZZARD WHY? Do you hate your players that much? **edit** 10/31/23 RAN ALL ELIGIBLE CHARACTERS EVERY SINGLE DAY, NO ARFUS

Kommentar von Cheftomate

Got it after 100+ trys, most of those with 4 curses but i got it on the try where i failed the curses (lost the debuff on this mindless grind) if it helps anyone.
Still missing the mount at probably 1500+ trys so whatever... but to add another low rng drop to this event is just ridiculous at this point

Kommentar von Archxlock

Just got this after 90+ attempts. Wasn't the first attempt of the day. No curses. There is hope my friends, keep going for it.

Kommentar von Flettch

UNPOPULAR OPINION

Don't nerf Arfus to satisfy the desire for some to have every item in the game the moment it is released, it's not anyone else's fault that folks feel compelled to level up 40 toons to roll dice for these things

Save some 'hard' for the rest of us to strive towards and stop asking Blizz to devalue the things that we spent time to achieve.

I spent over 10 years wishing and trying to obtain Muster: Eleganter Zylinderhut, once one of the rarest items in the game. So rare that it was rumored to not even exist. I FINALLY get it and what happens? Blizz drastically increases its drop rate to make it 'more accessible.' When a 2nd one dropped for me it wasn't awesome, it was seriously depressing. I realized it was just another tailoring pattern now and there was nothing 'special' about it anymore.

This happens over and over, I can only imagine how deflated all the folks with rare Cata mounts felt when everyone got them. Stop complaining at Blizz to hand things to you. It ruins parts of the game.

EDIT: You really need to get out more if this upsets you, kinda gross that you want everything handed to you with no effort.

Kommentar von Flettch

He's a very big boy - a biscuit makes him larger than most hunter pets

There are many different vocalizations when you click him, alternating between howls and barks with spooky reverb. He naps by your side when you stationary and has a ghastly blue emanation wafting from his back

Definitely one of the best pets overall

Kommentar von Skinnpajen

Soo..
No Arfus for the rest of us?. WTH blizzard..
"
Hey there!
Game Master Woranachis here, thank you for reaching out to us.

The Arfus pet is not in the loot table for the currently available Loot filled pumpkin.
It was available in other iterations of the Lootfilled pumpkin.

I hope I was able to assist and shed some light on the matter!
Best regards.
Game Master Woranachis.

Hey all, finally I'm back to Wowhead!
So, let's make some summary:
70 lvl toons - 15.
60 lvl toons - 8
23 tries x 8 day and 184 tries for that moment. With x4 curses alwasys, failed curses 7 times(DD came in heal spec. and didn't heal)
NO PET, NO MANUSCRIPT. Meanwhile my guildmate got TWO ARFUS (on day 2 and 6) So, when a lot of players suffer with bad rng, some people get 2 pets and delete one. Bravo, Blizzard.
I don't even know how to react, many good fellas already wrote their frustrations and anger, and I am totally agree with them all.
When I farmed brewfest I got manuscript on last day, from 21st of my toon but I don't know whats gonna be now. So it's 3:32 a.m now and I have to finish farm on 4 my alts.
Wish you all and maself good luck.
Blizzard, please be adequate on making farming stuff in time limited events

Finally got Arfus after doing the event every day on 4 toons. Not much by the looks of many people in the comments but did it after a key with a full group of friends. Guess they gave me the good luck protection I needed. Now, I just have to keep running until I hopefully get the saddle.

Kommentar von neocyberlight

Got Arfus today 145 attempts
It was no challenge mode and not 1st attemt of the day

Kommentar von DrDetonator

all this stuff is concerning for their plans to revamp holidays. the reins being rare is one thing, it's the reins, you hope to get it but it's easier to expect not to. but now they're adding dragon armor and a dog and it seems like to be just a bit less rare than the reins? that's not a fun time sink. is this supposed to be how they refresh holidays?

Kommentar von sarahlogic

I looted mine on my first kill of the third day of the event with all curses applied. It was my 38th attempt. I also received the Windgeborener Velocidrache: Schlotternachtsrüstung in the same Beutegefüllter Kürbis. I looted a second Arfus on the first kill of the day on the eight day of the event with no curses applied. You cannot learn more than one of the pet or trade it to another player. I just wanted to add a few additional data points if it helps anyone. I hope there will be some bad luck protection for those still searching for their good boy. Best of luck!

Kommentar von Templar25

Have only one 60 toon and not play retail since BfA. Came to event just for fun and got pet from 1'st kill of Horseman ;-P

P.S.: local Wowhead whine of unluckers and their dislikes are priceless xD

Kommentar von wesleyburns

69 trys and Arfus drop... no curse

Kommentar von Aiyun

I'm worried about Arfus, when is he coming home? Many of my alts are trying to find him.
Edit: After many many kills I tested 2 of my alts I never ran the eventdungeon and bam, got it. And this was watching John Wick 3.
Finally we found him and took him away from Blizzard. He is mine.

Kommentar von JamesEarlCarter

I got him with around 30 tries vast majority with all 4 curses

Kommentar von Vesla

Got it today on my 110th try, it was the 17th try of the day and I had no curses up, I decided to try today after the first three tries today to do a full run of all my other alts with no curses up since so many are commenting they got it with no curses up and now I have to, it's making me wonder about how this drop thing works.

I was more relieved I can now stop then anything else which really isn't a great feeling, this should have been the reward for the end of the new questline instead that would have been a much better use and made people happy about him instead of relieved when they are done...

Kommentar von Fernadil

Oh boy i can actually trigger some people: Cant be that hard to get - second time i queued with my Warrior today since the event is live, third try overall and i get the Doggo, Key and broom. I was honestly thinking it was activating all 4 debuffs, which is surprisingly easy just incase people are afraid of turning them on.

Kommentar von decree72

Today on the 10th day of the halloween event i saw the achivement "the lick king" the very first time pop up, with 5 man in 10 days, sure not everyone opens the pumpkin directly but most do, imho the drop chance is lower than the dragon armor. way too low. I pray blizz puts him on the npc next year.

Kommentar von Sohigh

Already got at 93 Attmpts. Never did with curses.

Kommentar von Wuhanbat

2023, My luck has been good this year.
Less than 20 runs total, all curses active I've received Arfus, Headless Horsemen's mount and the Dragonriding Manuscript

Kommentar von Caleb95

Realizing that the time-limited boss has 2 new RNG drops, after farming that dumb horse for years, feels like a sudden cold shower...

Kommentar von lacrau

Being farming Arfus with all my alts since day 1 ... tired of how Bliz do it, so I just canceled my 2 subscriptions.
Maybe when they start losing money they change anything, maybe not.

Kommentar von ksbroer

At 150 attempts so far, all on hard mode, only missed 2 days of doing my runs. No pet still. Pain

Kommentar von Darclite

37 runs over 10 days its taken me to get everything - Completed the boss four times each day using four characters all with the curses activated.

First run I got the drake manuscript, fifth run I got the mount and the scarlet key and the thirty-seventh gave me the pet.

Never mind the previous hundreds of runs for just the mount over the years with no success, but lets not talk about that.

Kommentar von Ereilavak

181 attempts.... no Arfus and ofc no Windgeborener Velocidrache: Schlotternachtsrüstung

Wasting Time... gg Blizzard...

Kommentar von gypsycaine

10-28-2023 12:06 am. Still no Arfus. So many alts. I am beginning to panic knowing that we have to the 1st when they shut down the dungeon. Will I get it in time? The sands will never tell. So are the days of our lives.

~D~

It IS only once a day per alt right to get the pumpkin? That's what assumption I've been going on.

Kommentar von terykats

Got it today on my 7th alt of the day, no curses, 129th try in total. Horrible acquisition method, this should have been a vendor item

Kommentar von Onijitsu

Just to add REAL information:

WHEN this drops, you obtain the The Lick King achievement.
Arfus appears with a ghostly puppy yip.
Clicking on him yields an enthusiastic bark.
When you've been standing around awhile, Arfus will take a puppy nap.
He has a slightly... mischievous look on his face. (Like Arfus is not always a good boy)
This pet is only one per account, and is not tradeable. (It cannot be sold on the Auction House)
Hovering your mouse over him, the pop-up box says, "There must always be a Lick King."

I'll be very curious to see if Arfus has any interesting responses to certain emotes, other pets, or circumstances. What happens when you run Icecrown Citadel with him?

EDIT: Thus far, Arfus hasn't done anything in ICC. He decided to take a nap when I started the Lich King fight. *shrug*

_______

· Please, no more "It dropped for me!" posts. (Yes, it DOES drop)

· What I am REALLY struggling with is the entitled mindset, leading to a VICTIM mindset of some people (when it hasn't YET dropped), of so many players. One of the most highly "liked" comments here is someone complaining that Blizzard is "forcing" them to run this on multiple alts.

This is a new rare item in the game. Be happy that Blizzard is adding new content. Be happy that Blizzard is renovating this old dungeon. (That's what we want... RIGHT?) Maybe we can talk about alternate means of obtaining things in game, or different drop rates. But all of this weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth is a bit... extra.

Go outside and touch grass. Talk to your parents and grandparents about how difficult their lives have been. Gain a little perspective. Consider studying Zen or some other philosophy. This pet will eventually drop. Your life is literally not any worse off in November if you don't have this pet. As much as some of you complain you're being tortured, you probably need to sit down and realize: YOU'RE TORTURING YOURSELVES. Is this how you approach things at your real life job? Or your family life? Relationships? And what is the next thing which you will TORTURE YOURSELF about? Don't you realize you are the architects of your own misery?

This pet WILL drop eventually. It doesn't ruin my life if it doesn't.

EDIT: And whattya know? He dropped after running on multiple alts for several days. I probably saw a dozen other people get Arfus before myself. Them getting lucky was NOT an attack upon myself, my life or my happiness. I had to run Icecrown Citadel for about a decade before I finally got Invincible's Reins. (And yes, I wanted that mount SOOO BAD. Ever since I was raiding ICC as progression content.)

Also, the fact that people are downvoting this comment for trying to offer a little perspective kinda says something?

Kommentar von Kiorelle

Day 11. Still running the stupid horseman for this pet with as many alts as I can manage each day (never all of them, because I just don't have that kind of time). Kinda wanna cry.

There should be an option if not to straight-up buy the pet with currency (Tricky Treats) to at least "buy" him by trading in the other rewards... I have so many sinister squashlings that are worthless, and rings that I can't even vendor for a copper, that it's not even funny. /cries.

Really have enjoyed the last week and a half of being able to play WoW the way I wanted to instead of sitting in endless DPS queues for the Horseman. Oh, wait...

Kommentar von HeIsRandy

I received Arfus on Day 7. It was my 7th attempt. Only on my main. Hard mode each time.

I didn't want to grind with my other alts, so just stuck with my main once per day for seven days. I was prepared to just give up and wait til next year.

My dog died last year, so I was so hoping to get him this season in tribute of my old boy. When he was in my loot, I felt like it was my old dog saying: "Yes, I'll join you on your journey in Azeroth. I'll forever be by your side." So, means a lot for me to get him.

Kommentar von PoeticDiscord

What a bull!@#$ drop rate on this item. It could easily take several Hallow's Ends to obtain this.

Kommentar von Onijitsu

Do ALL dogs go to heaven? 🤔

(I do wish Arfus would fly with you, like the Feline Familiar)

Apparently there IS an option: the Magical Saucer

Kommentar von tielovou

I've been doing this daily on 7 characters, I haven't seen the pet or drake armor, usually just tricky treats & a mask.
I always take on all 4 curses, but I noticed the curse that makes you run to the mark to end it, if you don't make it, you lose the buff. I got stunned halfway & saw it drop off.
Also have had it drop off if I get too far away, like when you have to spread out. Not sure if the latter is a bug or not.

(sorry if this is a dumb mention, I don't get a lot of time to play anymore & maybe I missed the heads up?)

Kommentar von gp12345us

I've been doing the Headless Horseman on 14 toons per day trying to get Arfus, and he finally dropped for me today. It took 134 Headless Horseman kills, and I got him on my 9th toon of the day with all curses active.

As a pet collector this whole thing was really stressful for me, because with Hallow's End finishing soon, it was looking like I wouldn't get the pet this year. This pet should have been on the Hallow's End pet vendor to buy with Tricky Treats, just like the Feline Familiar and other pets they added to the event over the years.

Kommentar von Veph

213 total attempts, he finally dropped for me tonight. It was not my first kill of the day, more like my 15th.

I was running about 20 alts every day, all with full curses. The past couple days after reading some comments here I decided to let up a little and only do the first run of the day with curses, my alts just ran on normal mode. I really can't say if there's a correlation there but I suspect Arfus might not be affected by the "curse luck", so it wasn't worth the extra effort, I could be wrong though.

This was an anxious grind with the deadline looming and I hope anyone who is still trying has some luck before the end.

Kommentar von swiftpwns

They must have added an extra zero by mistake when creating the droprate for this *!@#. By far the lowest point of dragonflight.

Kommentar von psychocyd

Dropped from 177th Beutegefüllter Kürbis. First kill of the day with all curses.

Kommentar von CrumbCookie

29/10/2023 -- 309 tries, no pet yet @34 alts; saw it drop 4 times to someone else
curse\no curse runs, pretty sure the drop rate is 1/1000

30/10/2023 --- 349 tries, no pet, most of them with all curses, rarity says i'm at 97.00% :D

31/10/2023 --- 387 tries, so pointless...

1/11/2023 --- 388 tries, got it 1st try in the morning with all curses. I'm too dead inside to feel happy about it.

Kommentar von TheBigDeeb

I got it as Evoker ... it says 1.1% drop chance for Arfus but it took me 138 total runs and I got it on 33 runs on the same day on 10/29/2023

Kommentar von RazorsAlt

Pretty sad knowing you aren't going to get it before the end of Hallow's End. :(

Kommentar von paladriel

It dropped for me 3 days ago and it was not my first day of the kill.. I am still waiting for the manuscript and instead of accepting i only have 3 chances left i am running it with all my alts.

Kommentar von SWGM

>Spend months hyping up a "holiday refresh" to make the events we've had for nearly two decades now new and exciting again
>Add a brief and forgettable quest line marginally updating the backstory of a character that doesn't exist outside the event
>Keep the vendors for the holiday in a city (for the Horde) that canonically is no longer inhabited fully and will not be for the foreseeable future
>Make no changes to the Wicker Man aspect of the holiday save for a scant few additional "mechanics" to the holiday boss fight that boil down to "don't stand in the purple fire"
>Otherwise change the boss to make it even more of a tank and spank than it was before
>Add another despicably rare drop with its own achievement to the boss's loot table, claiming your chances of obtaining it are greater when you utilize the Wicker Man "challenge" mentioned above
>Witness no visible increase in loot rewards, challenge or otherwise
>Trick or treating remains as random, tedious, and unrewarding as it always has been

Can't wait to see how the other holidays end up, ugh. RIP Arfus this year, maybe next.

Kommentar von Aluma

Worst possible design for an event, its not fun at all and feels like a 2nd job... running it with 20+ chars every day...

Kommentar von Flashoffight

I've been doing this across all my toons with all the curses. After coming here to see why it wasn't dropping and that somebody got it without the curses I tried today.

First time no curses, ARFUS drops. Probably just coincidence but maybe it'll work for you.

Kommentar von swiftpwns

got it after172+ attempts no curses, not first kill of day.

Kommentar von Kareai

Watch this become trading post item next month, I'm calling it now

Kommentar von Highderplord

Very cute pet, should be a little higher droprate though! I got mine the 5th day trying with 5 characters each. I hope you guys reading this get them aswell before it ends!

Kommentar von Whitzy

Well, I guess that makes me ? One of those Asshats that walk in. Get it on the 1st try.
Bad whitzy

forgive Me for being lucky for once.

Nice to see you got it tho.

peace

Kommentar von ZiggyFireball

As of Day 11 303 attempts so far, 97 of which with all 4 curses active
14 characters at max level, all others between 60-70
So far, no pet & no Drake manuscript (& I've only seen 1 person get Arfus so far)
.
I can't recall the taste of food, nor the sound of water or touch of grass
.
Just about to start Day 12, wish me luck

Update: 332 attempts, 112 of which cursed, still no pet or manuscript
I suspected when I got the Brewfest manuscript on my first run that I'd blown my drop luck for the rest of the year, guess I was right :/

Update the second: 363 attempts, 119 cursed, still nothing
I'm so tired, y'all :(

Update the third: I GOT HIM! Run #14 today, # 377 overall (123 of which cursed)
14th run of the day, NO curses active, level 67 character who had NOT done the questline

I'm glad I FINALLY got him, but I am so fed up I think I'm going to have to take a break from WoW for a bit.

To anyone still trying, may your grinds be painless and may your luck be better than mine.

Kommentar von Whitzy

Now for a constructive observation about Rare Drops .

after a decade plus of grinding ?

I Finally got that dam MOUNT !

I have been doing this event since it started .

And many other similar such event's For similar such Loot .

I have learned how to tweak the Luck in ur favor a bit .

start a small toon, get it high enough to do the dam event .

Newbies seem to get the most luck.

digital madness in its beauty .

It is Not always successful , but the odds are

" Forever in ur favor "

Either wat ,

I wish you ALL , All the Good Luck I can create .

Go git em killahs !

Kommentar von Ishri

I want to address Shaila1 comment. Guess what Shaila1, you do not have to run that dungeon. This is a game and you can choose to do what you find fun. If collecting pets is fun for you, then you should not mind the run. I have been playing this game for longer than I would like to admit however that being said, I have run the Headless Horseman event every year and still do not have that mount. And still, I run the dungeon. I run it because I am a collector. I like collecting mounts, pets, and achievement points. I have 14,610 achievement points mostly from collecting. WoW is a game, and in-game you can choose how you want to play and right now you are choosing to run Headless Horseman every day on all of your toons trying to collect a pet. That is a choice plain and simple. The RNG is just that Random. Random is done, chosen, etc. without someone deciding in advance what is going to happen, or without any regular pattern. I am always baffled by people getting so upset about a choice they made to do something but are mad about the outcome. Come on folks RNG is RNG. When you choose to play, you really can't complain about the RNG because you made a conscience choice to play. Happy Hunting.

Funny, when I tryed to rename Arfus into "The Lick King", an error message appeared: "Name contains mature language".

EDIT: I don't know how to report an error in the item description, but the description links to the wrong pumpkin. It should link to Beutegefüllter Kürbis instead of Beutegefüllter Kürbis.

Kommentar von Tritox

At least I won't be running out of firewood this winter with all these Zauberbesens keeping the fire going while I sit on a throne made out of Der finstere Schlitzer des Reiterss, organize all my Die erschreckende Kapuze des Reiterss in alphabetical order and feel depressed that any of the countless Gruselkürbiss looted couldn't have been Arfus instead.

Kommentar von Mypoizon

big pet collector, this is one of those I really would love to have. But after all days now have passed, I now only have 1 day left to get this pet in.
Used curses on all toons I can have more than 15 tries a day, yet still missing out on this cutiepie. I really wish Blizz would have added this pet to the vendor instead of wasting our time so much because it is many hours a day just to sit and wait for queue to pop and then get a freaking mask and gold and candyx15 times.

Kommentar von Gogeta1990

Garbage droprate with garbage design as usual. Blizzard can't help themselves cause it's in their DNA.
It feels like the wicker curses actually have no impact at all on your loot.

This "holyday boss with optional hardmode" is a lot more miss than hit, I hope they don't repeat this for any other holidays.

Kommentar von Mehetabel

Pet collecting is my "thing". It's the one thing in this game that I take very VERY seriously. I will do whatever it takes to collect those pets and I'm no stranger to mindless grinds. But this, this is next level awful. I would happily run this on all my alts every single day until I got the pet but, no, Blizzard decide to put this pet on a holiday boss. A limited time holiday boss. I'm beyond frustrated. The one thing I still love doing in this game and I can't even grind to get it. Thanks for nothing Blizzard.

Edit: Last day and I'm all out of alts. Never did get the pet. Guess I'll wait a whole year to try again. Thanks Blizz.

Kommentar von Elfella

Just got this pet after 71 kills 1st kill of day with all 4 curses active

Kommentar von ImpatientLola

Got it on my first attempt of the day with all of the curses activated. It took me around 130 kills.

Kommentar von slashtwo

One. More. Day.

Kommentar von bloody2

Finally i got him on day 14 on my first try of the day without any curses. This was my first day i decided to do it without the HM as so many ppl here said the got him without curses.

I farmed him 20 character per day, so i can tell it is horrible to farm it. Blizzards new way "First Try of day higher chance" is the worst thing they could do.

I thought it had to be the same chance per toon or you only have 1 chance a day per account and then no chnace anymore for this day so noone get forced to farm it every day with plenty of toons and a nearly zero chance.

Kommentar von Kisses

245 attempts for me. Felt awfully grindy. I don't think I saw another pet drop in the party overall. Wish u all gl :(

Kommentar von Gilnean

Every single day of the event, with 12 characters (60+) on hardmode (4 curses), NOTHING. I even had the mount faster, and the drake thing yesterday.. Tomorrow morning last chance, but i doubt it.
Got tons of rings, swords, helmets, brooms and pumpkin pets, but this was just awful

Kommentar von Shashos

150+ attempts and no Arfus this year. I gave up on the hardmode attempts 2 days before event end. It was simply too annoying to deal with when it didn't seem to make a bit of difference at all in luck chance. I got the key and manuscript early on, but Arfus was what I really wanted. What a let down of an event. I'm glad I didn't bother with Brewfest. I don't think I could have made it through 2 horribly grindy events back to back.

Kommentar von Pathstrider

WTF is this actual $%^&? 168 attempts so far with only 1 more day left. No pet, no manuscript but a crap load of 1h swords and helms mainly on alts that can't even use them. Things like this pet should never be up to RNG. Even putting on vendor for a high cost would make sense but Blizz again not thinking logically.

Edit. Thankfully I got mine on last day after 170 attempts total. No manuscript but I didn't really care about that 1 anyway.

Kommentar von globalmenace

208 attempts here. Also hoping for ~~tomorrow~~ today morning…

Kommentar von Varthayn

On top of all the other frustration felt by many with the poor design of an extremely low droprate pet that a lot of people want, I also find it a kick in the gut when you run with people who get duplicates of this item, and can't do anything but delete or sell it. Really irritated at this kind of garbage "fun" that Blizz tries to force on us.

Kommentar von Arakan

I got Arfus on the second attempt of the very first night! It really made my night and I felt very happy and fortunate to have gotten him! No curses at all, had no idea they were even a thing. When I got it I checked this page and it said the drop rate was .8% - Now it is 1.1% it seems. I submitted a screenshot I had shared to my guildies the day of! There may be a timestamp somewhere but I do not see it. I will post a screenshot of my "lick king" achievement instead since that has a date!

Kommentar von ZelgiusEU

Seeing as the droprate of both the Everlasting Horn of Lavaswimming and Molten Lava Pack was bugged, it could potentially be possible that the droprate for Arfus is bugged as well.

Its honestly complete ridiculous that something like this can happen, imagine farming for something for weeks only to realise it wasnt possible to get the drop in the first place. I am baffled that something like a simple item drop can be bugged and it has happened, as far as I know, twice so far.

Reason Im saying this is because I have multiple reports of people getting Arfus very fast that arent collectors but then again my sample size is small, so who really knows.

Kommentar von Arcticfeline

I did miss the first few days but 266 attempts across 29 characters, and still no Arfus. Tried with and without curses. I've seen him drop about 4 times in all of those attempts. Haven't seen the mount or script drop whatsoever. I leveled almost all of my characters on my account to 60 just for more attempts, yet nothing. This drop chance is horrid. I'm a moderate collector on this game, it's what I find most enjoyable and an adorable pet like this alongside the achievement "The Lick King" made me really want this pet. It breaks my heart that I'll have to wait a whole year for a chance at him again. Not all of my characters were 60+ at first, but with timewalking it allowed me to level most of my characters to the needed level of 60, that's why my attempt and character ratio doesn't match up.

EDIT: After 277 attempts, on the very last day at 12PM 11/01, after reset (10am for me) I was still able to do this dungeon and I have acquired the mighty Arfus. I don't know if today was a bonus day or what but I'm so thankful for the extra chance. I got him on a level 60 with no curses up.

Kommentar von Anoradord

The comments for this pet are a great lesson of why nothing matters in wow anymore and none of you should care that bad for these collectables. So many people crying about a seasonal boss with a low drop rate mount. The only reason the horseman mount, brewfest kodo, love rocket, etc were cool in the first place was because you just might not get it this season. That's okay you didn't get it.

People trying to force rng and have every collectable are unhealthy and obsessive. I didn't get it after trying on my 5 characters everyday and that is the reason Arfus is a cool pet. Because when someone else has it I will think of next season. No mount, pet, toy, transmog, anything is worth making 50 characters and acting like a ghost dog in wow is that big of a deal.

Kommentar von CallistaZM

Welp, 421 runs and no dog for me this year. I am highly skeptical of Rarity's claim that the drop is around 1%. Does not compute.

Kommentar von rabee

I ran the headless horseman on all 20 of my characters every day this year with full debuffs. and didn't see the pet. I would have been happy just to see the mount since I've been farming that every year since 09. But that's just my luck, at least invincible finally dropped for me this year after over a 1000 icc runs lol.

Kommentar von Aluma

Time to leave the game did everyday with 20+ tries and ofc with curses all up for first try no pet. Thank you blizzard for wasting my years, happily not anymore will quit the game and cancel my sub. Good luck playing this RNG not worth my time anymore, thank you blizzard for making a slap into face of players to make this pet unobtainable by majority of players. Worst game design everr.

56
1093 (not including the ones that i equipt)
1 (bought 150 candies)
and no
yes a lot of others did run this event more than i did; i personally feel that we should have all got it; also should have been either a free drop from HH or from the pet vendor.
my bestie did get it after 4 runs as well as lots of others who are not as heavy collectors as i am; (1683 unique pets) and counting.
really feeling like this is another version of
gratz on all those that did get and i hope and wish that everyone who did not get it this year, gets it next year. gl tc hh

Kommentar von mangowarrior

Ya know .. during the same time this Hallow's End event was going on, Call of Duty had their own Halloween event. It was massively fun with Halloween themed maps and whatnot. The rewards just for logging in during the event for 10 consecutive days gave you small but FUN rewards, from charms, stickers, XP boosts and more. On the 10th and final day you would get the “Nightmare Sweats” Bryson 800 Shotgun Weapon Blueprint. You knew exactly what you were getting and worked your way towards it. It was FUN.

This World of Warcraft Hallow's End event was NOT fun. People come home from work or school and just want to kick back, play some games and have fun. Spending hours on multiple toons per day for 14 days grinding the same event over and over was NOT fun at all period. And at the end of the 14 day dungeon run, I was not rewarded. At this point I am burned out and I'm gonna take a break from WoW. Gonna go play some other games that are actually fun to play and rewarding.

Can only hope that Arfus will be added to the Trading Post in the future. I don't even care about the achievement.

Kommentar von jaspet

Blizz should have made Arfus a white whale ... I have a disgusting amount of toons and ran this dungeon a disgusting amount of times and still no puppy :(

And for the love of wow's green jeebus why oh why did they have to change the dungeon? If it ain't broke Blizz ... don't fix it! I also had trouble killing the witch/Hag in Val'sharah on poorly geared alts, so I didn't get to finish off my smashing hat collection. Overall this Hallow's End has left me feeling sick to my stomach - and not from the amount of sweets I ate :(

At least 20 to more than 50 characters are trying every day, still no Arfus.
Friends who are not collecting pets all got it, even three times. As a pet collector (1659 unique pets), it is really sad. After seeing other comments, I really suspected that there was a BUG.

< Checks bags and bank on 26 characters after doing the event every day > Hmmm, must not be in game yet...

Okay I know there has been a lot of commentary about this pet, and it's well deserved! The RNG on this little bugger seems very hit or miss. The blue post raises more questions than answers, naturally.

Friend #1 got it on attempt 1 of the holiday. Friend #2 got it in attempt 3 of the holiday. Me? Yeah, my experience was the miss. I tried everything... wickermen lit some attempts, and unlit on others. Looting boss first, opening pumpkin first. Tank, heal, dps. The frustration was real.

I can report that I got it on my 16th attempt of the day (attempt 112 total) which was the last toon of that day. Wickermen were lit for the attempt. Goodluck adventurers, I promise it does exist!

I just came here to say I still feel salty about this pet. As a collector, it felt like a slap in the face, especially when WOTLK was a favorite of mine and I desperately wanted this little man.
40 characters a day, every day, and nothing. By the end, it was depressing to hear from friends they're deleting another copy of it and 'it drops so often'.

At least I don't care about the carpet as much, but it still stings.
