Hallow's End Guide — Cataclysm Classic
Two powerful buffs are tied to the Wickerman Festival, and in Cataclysm they are easy to acquire for both Horde and Alliance players.
Every four hours there is a city-wide announcement and then 10 minutes later, Sylvanas or Genn Graymane will buff nearby players.
Players can obtain Unburdened (Alliance) or Grim Visage (Horde) which is easily earned and awards a 10% experience and reputation gain for 2 hours. Simply use the ashes on the ignited Wickerman bonfire outside Stormwind or Undercity to acquire this buff.
