It's the month of Brewfest, Hallow's End, esports, and more! There’s much to see and do, and we have our eye on what the community's up to, too. In this October edition of This Month in WoW, we look forward to some of the more remarkable things going on in the World of Warcraft community. HolidaysBrewfest [September 20-October 6]
Brewfest is your only chance to acquire the Swift Brewfest Ram and Great Brewfest Kodo mounts, as well as the Wolpertinger and Pint-Sized Pink Pachyderm pets. It’s also an opportunity to get your brew-covered mitts on items such as the Stout Alemental pet, the Steamworks Sausage Grill, and Brewfest Banner toys! Hallow’s End [October 18 – November 1] Hallow's End is a celebration of the break between the Forsaken and the Scourge. Many tricks and treats await adventurers seeking holiday fun, including going head-to-neck-stump with the Headless Horseman, visiting inns and cities for fun items such as masks and costumes, and eating way too much candy in one sitting. You’ll find a special Hallow’s End Wickerman set up and ready to burn in Stormwind and near the Undercity in the Ruins of Lordaeron. Every four hours, Genn Greymane and Lady Sylvanas will arrive to light each faction’s respective Wickerman in celebration of Hallow’s End. Esports Live Events
