In the latest World of Warcraft expansion, Embers of Neltharion, players are once again after the elusive Headless Horseman’s mount during the Halloween event. With a notoriously low drop rate, getting this rare flying mount can be challenging, but with some efficient strategies, you can maximize your chances.

Step-by-Step Guide to Efficient Mount Farming

1. Create Multiple Eligible Characters: The Headless Horseman’s mount has a daily drop chance for each eligible character. The more characters you have at level 10 or above, the more daily chances you’ll have to obtain it. Focus on leveling multiple characters, ideally ones that can perform well in dungeons to streamline each run.

2.  

3. Queue Daily for the Headless Horseman Dungeon:

4. •  

     Use the Dungeon Finder to quickly queue up for the Headless Horseman encounter. The boss is located in the Scarlet Monastery Graveyard, accessible through the holiday event queue.
   •  
   • The fight itself is fairly quick, typically taking only a couple of minutes, especially if your group has strong DPS.
   •  

5. Set a Routine for Daily Runs:

6. •  

     Run this dungeon once per day on each eligible character to maximize the number of loot-filled pumpkins you receive. Each pumpkin has a chance to contain the Headless Horseman’s Reins.
   •  
   • Dedicate a set time each day to log in with each character, run the instance, and check the rewards. Early mornings or late nights may have shorter queue times.
   •  

7. Optimize Your Strategy for Fast Runs:

8. •  

     Equip high-damage gear to complete the fight swiftly, reducing the time per run.
   •  
   • Group with friends or guildmates for quicker queues if necessary, especially during peak hours when queues might take longer.
   •  

9. Use Speed Buffs and Potions:

10. •  

      If you have classes with movement speed boosts or teleportation abilities, use them to cut down on travel time within the dungeon.
    •  
    • Speed potions, mounts, and class-specific abilities can make each run faster, allowing you to complete more runs in less time.
    •  

Bonus Tip: Keep an Eye on the Bonus Loot

Occasionally, Blizzard adds bonus events or increased drop rates for rare items during holiday events. Be sure to check any in-game announcements for limited-time boosts to the drop rate, which can improve your odds and save time.

By following these tips and maximizing your daily attempts across multiple characters, you’ll have the best chance of acquiring the Headless Horseman’s mount swiftly in Embers of Neltharion. Happy farming!
