Nibuca's route for picking up candy

Unfortunately, even though I really want "The Hallowed" on my Paladin, he's not quite 80, so going to face the Headless Horseman will be a problem for me. But I may still run around and pick up all of the candy quests, now that they're up and running during Hallow's End. They're only a part of the big meta-achievement, but it might be worth getting them out of the way anyway, and the XP is supposed to be pretty good (especially if you're getting the Heirloom bonuses, which I am).
If I do go, I'll be using Nibuca's handy route to all of the candy buckets -- she went through for you and figured out the quickest and easiest (or at least a quicker and easier -- it may not be perfect, as she says, but it works) way around to all of the candy quests in old Azeroth and Outland. You'll have to do Northrend on your own, but you may want to wait on that anyway, as it's supposed to be slightly bugged. If you are planning on getting all of your just desserts this year, Nibuca's route should be extremely helpful.

My 75 mage got the Horseman, so you can too. ^^

Yeah, last year I healed it at 65 on my priest so unless they've somehow made things a lot more tough (I doubt) then you don't need to be 80 to do it.

I didn't worry about the fastest possible way to get the achievement done. I decided a better approach was to duo the Trick or Treat acheivement with exploration. It's not the fastest approach, but it is the most efficient!

I got my >80 Shaman into an HH group by promising the group i'd switch over to my mage and my paladin after all summons were finished, thus giving the group 2 extra summons in addition to the 2 my shaman brought (since you get 2 the first time you go).
They got 4 summons they wouldn't have before, and I got an achievement and a nice little ilvl200 ring to put on when I hit 80.

Who do we have to run through Naxx to get an edit button around here?

Yay for semi crashed site!
Maximum number of processes reached, refreshing in 10 seconds.

aprox. 11k exp a bucket for a 73, thats a nice hunk of a level.
Nibuca Oct 20th 2009 6:18PM
Whoops sorry guys :) yeah.. the site seems to be un-crashed ATM.
The reason for the list is that I wanted a written down path that I could run on my lowbies who don't actually have the flight points. Yeah, if you have the flight points the list is kind of redundant.
Unfortunately I primarily play alliance so I've only worked it out for alliance toons. I may work it out for Horde later this week.

The candy doesn't need a guide for it, just use your brain and go where you need to go. Everyone should have all of the flight points if you're above level 60 and so it's pretty easy. I did it all in a day, without a guide, now tell me it's hard.

Yeah! And what's the deal with the printing press, can't you just use a pen? Boy, don't even get me started on the cotton gin.

Yeah, I got the bug for area 52 and Ashenvale's cany buckets, only need those two to finish up their respective achievements.
Warren Oct 20th 2009 10:19PM
These seemed to be fixed i logged on my DK and he had the credit for area 52 and the outland meta

I got the Headless kill credit on my underleveled DK by just being in group and in the fight while my party killed the Horseman. If you got some friends/guildies to help you out, he can easily be 4-manned. I brought my main in, did the summon, and then on somebody else's summon, asked if I could switch out to my alt that I wanted the kill credit on. I had already parked the alt in front of the instance, so the switch took no time. I helped do what I could, (you miss a lot when the mob is 15 levels higher than you), got credit for the kill, then switched back to my main to help with more summons.
I'd recommend again, asking before you do a switch, and be prepared ahead of time to be curteous.

its 2 manneble, tank + healer, if there decent geared.
Im using dk/shadow priest, we both have mounts so evryone
We bring out alts, since were using other accounts for alts to boost our selfs, just like brewfest they already get some nice epics to get started.

If I can get people to run me through it what is the lowest level you can be to get in? Enough for SM or is there another requirement to get the credit?
