36 Headless horsemen kills in 1 day from the first time start on 3/4 of of my lv 80s plus extra attempts from my buddy Vanosia. I've started reciting the horseman's opening lines to the fight in my sleep. I only need 4 mounts and 2 pets! drop them already!!
FOUR mounts? I thought his mount was less than a 1% drop?
Heh, well I admire your tenacity, if not your sanity. :P
Farming mounts
I'll never understand why people do it.
I could almost fathom why people used to farm those crit daggers in UBRS... at least they enhanced your character in some way.
But like everything else, it's really whatever is fun to you in this game!
ya, i'll never understand it either.Quote:

I wouldn't mind ONE mount, but four.. I wish you good luck :)
I just want one pet to finish the long strange trip...
I'd like one mount, just for my achievement char, Arlassa. I'm not very optimistic, though. :P
Last year I farmed for the mount, but didn't get lucky.
This year, it dropped for me on the very first attempt on day one of Hallow's end:

Trying for 4 mounts because one is for vano since he's a mount collector for some odd ball reason and the other 3 i'm hoping for my slaves since my main shamans already has one from last year.
I'm just using my power of numbers (12 level 80 toons) to try to farm the reins for the son of a friend, primarily. 42 kills so far (haven't run yet today) and got like 6 brooms, 5 hallowed helms (not the plate helm), 4 squashlings, 2 swords, and of course a ton of rings. No mount yet, but I'm expecting to at least see one for him by the time the event is over.
He's 9 though, so he's already worried that we'll never see it at this point. :P
Man, 3 swords and a helm but still no mount :/
I have a deal with RL friends and family: I get the helmets/pets, they get mounts. Doing this, I've contracted between 6-10 bonus summons each day :)
I'm 2 helms and 2 pets away from what a long strange trip it's been.
Got my 4 squashlings, almost have The Hallowed title, will post pic once i get it.
I seem to be really lucky on the squashlings and cloth helms, havent seen a mount yet.
Killed him 10 times yesterday
x3 Ring of Ghoulish Glee
x2 The Horseman's Baleful Blade
x4 Wicked Witch's Band
x3 The Horseman's Seal
x1 Hallowed Helm
x2 Magic Broom
Done with the dps rings, which I am happy about.. just sucks that he haven't dropped a single helm yet... and I need four of them :/
Tonight we got three Squashlings, but only needed two. My druids continue to be kitted out with rings though -- Ring of Ghoulish Glee and two Horseman's Bands. We need one more Squashling ("only needed two" before because the Squashling-less warlock was sitting out to make space for the GF), three caster rings, the damn reins, and the updated level 80 sword so my girl will stop using the level 70 version already. Sheesh.
I didn't really expect to be lucky but apparently he felt like sharing.

I'm farming the Fiery Warhorse that drops off of Attumen in Karazhan. 10 months of tries once per week, and I have 3/5 of my team riding one.
At this point I'd take a HH mont, just because they look about the same, to finish off my set...
I admire your dedication :cool:Quote:

edit: some quick math. 50 tries will give you a 14% chance of a mount. Yep that's it. So I have 9 tries a day (until my third team can take him down, they are almost 80) times 15 days = 135 chances = 33.3% chance of getting one mount. I need at least a 50% chance as my luck in WoW is terrible. :(
Got "The Hallowed" title two days ago. Was just busy and didn't have time to post. About 112 kills now and no mount.

While I was doing all the candy buckets I decide to get "the explorer" title as well. What a mistake.. it was so mind-numbing boring(about 16hrs with a team that had very little of maps discovered) that I cant bring myself to get my main teams candy buckets. The thought of it....ugh.
Hehe, I have killed him quite a few times this year, no mount yet, I skipped last 2 days of summonings. But on the bright side I got one of my shaman to 385 enchanting which I started the day before Hollows Eve started.
I have killed him 5 times everyday since it opened and I have not even gotten a sword. I one pet and a few cloth helms and like many others a ton of rings.
Got my horsey, finally!

Gratz Coltimar!
The damn helmets seem to be awefully rare, and that's basically what I really want :/
Ya I finally got a plate helm this morning. I think I have 5 pets and 4 cloth helms so far, so that shouldnt be an issue for the achievement.

Blizzard really hates me
Still missing three plate helmets :( Stupid mob is always dropping caster rings for me.
of my 5 pallies I got 4 of them the plate helms.. I would like to get a 5th for my prot pally maybe for a dual spec.. 4/5 got the pet and helm.. 5th is missing his pet.. no mounts no swords
After roughly 40 kills, I've seen no mounts, no helms, a pair of squashlings, a couple of swords, and lots and lots and lots of below-average rings.
I've been running 6 summons a day and so far just brooms.
I want the mounts personally because they're land AND flying mounts (I hate switching between kodos for pvp and grffins for dailies.
I also got the HH mount drop on my first kill this year, after parking a buttload of alts outside the dungeon with the intent of farming like crazy. It'd be superstitious to read anything into that tho :)Quote:
