Hallow's End

October 17 - October 31 (source)

As it is a custom by now, arena will get a reset at midnight (server time) prior to the first and last day of the event. And everyone who will have an unfinished arena run at the time of reset will receive a Free Arena Ticket as a compensation; as well as full rewards for the current number of wins in that run.

Do not mistake this Free Arena Ticket with the one everyone gets just by logging in during the event. This is another - extra - Free Arena Ticket. If you do this, you will start the event with TWO Free Arena Tickets and end the even with another one.

So, as always, keep an unfinished arena run before the event starts (and ends). Leave it at 0-0 or play it out till X-2, depending on your preference and time investment.

Keep in mind that arena entries will be closed approx. 8 hours before the event end (server time - see the table below), do not leave it for the last second!

Note: They're saying that you should log in till 10pm PDT October 31 to get the golden Witch's Cauldron, so mby the end will be with the start of next Brawl and not at midnight. I edited the probable closing times with -2 hours to account for this possibility.

Note: Do this, even if you hate arena and have no intention of playing out the run(s). If you leave the run at 0-0 and concede the run from the (extra) Free Arena Ticket, you will get two Boomsday Packs + some minior amount of gold/dust for a price of just 150 gold. Meaning you save at least 50 gold on one Boomsday Pack in the end.

Please use this thread to talk about the pre-event preparation only.

If you wish to discuss the event itself, we have a dedicated thread for that: https://www.hearthpwn.com/forums/hearthstone-game-modes/the-arena/224747-hallows-end-2018

I'm in a desperate 0-2 run so it really comes on time

Thanks for the reminder Sinti!  I would have forgotten about this neat trick.

Awesome. I was wondering about leaving the run up so thanks for the info. 

Are the times you are referring to PST on the NA server? I realise you only have historical data. 

By "server time" i meant each specific server time. I guess i can try and convert the times to the three time zones and write them out ... i thought it would be clear :o

Added the (approx.) specific times for each server and time zone when r arena entries gonna be disabled, hope it is correct :P

But are you sure that the Free Arena Tickets are cumulative so you can have two of them at the same time?

And they expire or they last forever?

Yes im sure. I had like 3 or 4 of them at once in one of my other regions. They do not expire, i have them there for like over a year already.

Just a reminder to start your arena run. Sadly on Asia the entries r closed already, sorry.

Good luck getting 12 wins on the next one! #twelvewins

thanks for the reminder ;)

Pfff noobs. Who need extra tickets when you can go infinite with just one...

(Yep, I forgot again about the trick :( FeelsBadMan)

You should still be able to do it on EU for another half an hour, or is it closed already?

Dude, i said approximately 8 hours. I dont have it figured out down to last second. Blizzard doesnt give out the exact info, so it was timed from past experiences. Could be even 9 or 10 for all i know, no one rly helped me to narrow it closer than those 8 hours. Im sorry you missed out on the stuff man, but leaving it for very last second ... just have to do it sooner next time > next time being the last day of the event!

Thanks for the guide, I am looking forward to the event to hit on NA :)

Event is Live in EU as well!

Here r some "proof" screens, that you do get the ticket for leaving the run unfinished. And also one screen from my acc (Asia region), where i have 4 Arena Tickets and they r like over a year old too, so yes, they do stack and no, they do not expire. Peace im off to bed.

US should be live in 8 hours, GL.

 Thanks! This is really helpful!

Its about 6pm central and I was able to start an arena run. If you havent yet there still may be time to start one. But do it now.

Milled my 74.6 control Warlock deck having only played one game... feelsbadman, that was the most nailed-on 12 win deck in months.

Also, now completely stuck at the choose a hero screen.
