Player Saves Headless Horseman Mount So It Could Be a Christmas Gift

Staff's Avatar by Staff

That’s a pretty strange and perhaps confusing title, but it’s absolutely true! A player got lucky this Halloween and managed to get the mount drop from the Headless Horseman. However, that wasn’t quite enough for them, as they had bigger plans for it.

A Delayed Christmas Present

We are once again in the strangely appropriate nickname territory, as l_Regret_Nothing decided to save The Horseman's Reins iconThe Horseman’s Reins for Christmas! That’s right, they kept the mount in their bags since October, just so their The Horseman's Reins iconThe Horseman’s Reins achievement would have Christmas as the date!

As it turns out this “saving a mount to learn it later” is a thing in general, with players sometimes trolling their guildmates with it:

l_Regret_Nothing was actually going to do that same thing with the Horseman mount. But the raid got canceled since it’s Christmas, so close enough!

So, now that you’ve heard the concept, is there something you’ll be saving for a special date so it’s forever etched in your achievements on that day?
