I’m still trying for him 
I’ve relented today and doing it on many chars
I wish they’d just put him on the vendor.
When the Midsummer Fire Festival happened earlier this year, Blizzard announced a change to the way holiday boss drops worked in this article:
We’re changing the way the loot system for the holiday boss drops work. We have increased drop rates significantly for the first boss kill on a single account. Only the first attempt on a single Battle.net account will be eligible to receive the item drop, however. For each subsequent daily attempt on the boss with a single Battle.net account, the chance for the item to drop will increase and continues to accumulate for each failed attempt. This change will allow players to spend less time working to earn a specific dropped item while providing an increasing opportunity to get that item during the holiday.
Now, this is a great change I fully support. It respects the player’s time, and it sets clear expectations.
Barely 3 months later, and The Horseman’s Reins and Arfus can still drop from attempts after the first daily per account. Completely contradicting the statement made by Blizzard in June of this year, and undoing any benefit that change had with it.
I’d love to get some clarification on this.
The quest where you have to put fire out is bugged.
The achievement where you collect candies from all world inns is bugged.
It’s Bug’s End not Hallow’s End.
I did it yesterday .it is not bugged
So, in QA there is a thing called reproduction rate. Check that on Google.
Didnt realiese there was so much new stuff to get!
But my earthen hunter is leveling nicely just by picking up tricky treats and gaining exploration XP!
Easy enough. Just fly around a bit and visit inns.

The effort 
Get the handy notes Hallows End addon. Put on a nice video to watch while you’re travelling and just enjoy the journey; with skyriding it’s a lot faster than it was in the ‘old days’.

Thanks for the suggestion! I’m about to race change Starney to Earthen (sorry KT, it was fun but it’s over), could be an interesting way to level as well, thanks to their exploration racial.

Seems I got lucky then: first character, first try and got the mount. No point in doing it again.
…if I see one more candy bucket or any of the sweets! 
Managed to get a couple of the new items, don’t think I can stomach grinding any more - it was nice reminiscing on places I haven’t seen for awhile - nostalgia and all that 
Arfus still eludes me … naughty pup!
Something’s off… I ran HH on my alts, each time I got a new piece for the Patched Harvest Golem-set. I assumed it was 100% drop chance to get a new piece you didnt have. Then suddenly, as i’m only missing the back, I’ve gotten nothing. I’ve now run 30 more runs (unique dailies still, no repeats) and gotten nothing. Either it’s the most 123 up RNG of all time, or something broke.

… as I found out earlier, you won’t get the back piece that way - you need to save up enough of those tricky treat things in the candy basket and pop to the Halloween vendor - Horde is Chub outside Undercity in the old time zone
oh lol ye okay, that explains it!
