Day of the Dead Event Guide

Achievement Guide

Welcome to our guide for the Day of the Dead World Event! Just like the actual Day of the Dead, we will honor the memory of our fallen companions through food and dance. In this guide, we’ll show off the event rewards, and explain exactly how to get them.

The Day of the Dead marks the end of the Hallow’s End Event, starting on November 1st and ending on November 3rd. Don’t worry about the 2-day timeframe, as this event is very quick to complete.

Rewards

• Macabre Marionette – An adorable skeleton pet rocking a sombrero and maracas!
• Bouquet of Orange Marigolds – A festive offhand.
• Whimsical Skull Mask – A spooky face covering.

Unfortunately, you do not get to keep these rewards after the event ends, so enjoy them while they last! The one thing you do get to keep forever is the achievement: Dead Man’s Party. Keep reading to learn how to get all of these rewards!

Dead Man’s Party Achievement

At any of the graveyards listed above you will find two NPCs: Catrina and Chapman. Select Catrina and type /dance to earn the achievement Dead Man’s Party. She will also grant you the buff Honor the Dead, which gives you this sweet costume for 12 hours!

Macabre Marionette Pet

Speak to Chapman, the Day of the Dead Vendor standing next to Catrina, at any of the graveyards listed above. Purchase Bouquet of Orange Marigolds and Recipe: Bread of the Dead. Note that you must be at the graveyard nearest your race’s major city in order to complete this quest.

Next, equip the Bouquet of Orange Marigolds and use it at the graveyard. Doing so allows you to see and interact with Ghostly Spirits. Among them will be a Cheerful Spirit, with a quest to offer. Speak with the spirit and accept the quest The Grateful Dead. Using the Recipe: Bread of the Dead that you purchased, cook up a loaf on the Ghostly Cooking Fire near the quest giver.

Use your Bouquet of Orange Marigolds one final time. Turn in The Grateful Dead quest and enjoy your glorious, limited-time pet, Macabre Marionette!

That’s all there is to the Day of the Dead Event! Be sure to check back with us for a guide on the Pilgrim’s Bounty Event, starting November 23rd!
