Ghoulish charger mount drop info

There’s been some conflicting info on the wowhead comment section, and blizzard has been quite ambiguous on the wording: in my view they haven’t been clear enough on confirming this mount (the new one) can only drop on the first daily kill on account.

If you check the wowhead news article, you see that the part that says it can only drop on the first kill on account has been written by wowhead, not by blizzard.

And on the wowhead comment section we have a couple of people who affirm they got the mount on follow-up daily kills.

But realistically, if the mount could really drop on follow-up daily kills and not just the first, there should be at least a few people who had that happen, so is there anyone else around here who managed to get it in a kill that wasn’t the first after the daily reset?

All blue posts from earlier years say higher droprate on first kill. And for HH it was use all curses.

I heard one person in chat who said they got the new one on an alt.

And I know a few who got the Brewfest Barrel on alts— one of which I was in group with and it was their third alt that day.

Clarification of what they do with these mount drops would be spectacular, but we’ll never get it. Somehow it has to be a big secret.

We seldom know specifics.

Although the efficient play here is either kill it on one char daily or do the f2p/trial account thing for 2-5 “first” kills daily, which also worked for the brew mount.

Idk how people kill these bosses 100+ times a day.

Step 1: don’t have a job.

Step 2: play wow for ~500 minutes or so, doing nothing but running alts through headless horseman.

I don’t know how people have more forum posts than achievement points.

I’m not particularly interested in the new mount.

However, I do have experience farming the Love Rocket during last year’s Love is in the Air event. Back then, everyone claimed it only dropped from the first kill of the day. I did over 30,000 attempts and got it from a later kill.

But the new mount — the broom — really did only drop from the first kill.

Every new mount, that is currently the Sweeper mount from valentine and the new horse from this years event, plus any new mounts they add in the future are once a day per Bnet and that’s it.

Every old mount is a higher drop chance on the first kill and the old bum drop rate on every other kill on the same day.

As for alts what people are doing are multiboxxing 5 at once, that is WoW1 and then 4 random WoW2 > WoW 5 accounts on the same Bnet, this lets them all get the first kill of the day all at the same time and therefore can get the new mounts on alts. Plus this increases the higher drop chance for the old mounts to 5 boxes also instead of just 1.

How many accounts do you need to do this?

10 runs per hour, per account…
24 hours in a day
across 14 days.

?

(edit)
oh.
never mind, you don’t have it.
you were just trashtalking.

i knew something sounded very sus :smile:

Regardless, anyone claiming that the Love Rocket only drops from the first kill, isn’t familiar with what we’ve been told in regards to “old” event mounts.

Yeah, I spent about 6 days from 7 a.m. to midnight, switching accounts during the lockout — I have 6 accounts.
It was a matter of principle.
The X-45 Heartbreaker is in my collection, and it’s unlocked.

If it’s harder for you to check collections than to make such assumptions, you can look at my achievements — I have the Feat of Strength for obtaining this mount on 07/02/25.

oops, I forgot it had been renamed.

even so, I still don’t believe the 30,000 runs thing.
lockouts are per bnet

if you’d said 30,000 since it was introduced, i may have believed it.

No, search restrictions are limited to the account itself, not to the entire Battle.net.

I understand it’s hard to believe — I often play hardcore.

You forgot to mention the bomber, I think it’s important in such a case to mention every mount that is supposed to work like this, bomber is the 2nd that came out, and all of these came in 2025, a “great blizzard idea”.

But what I don’t understand is, if you go on the page for the mount on wowhead: https://www.wowhead.com/item=247721/the-headless-horsemans-ghoulish-charger#comments

(link doesn’t work by clicking but can be copied)

and you check the comment made by 2der, you see he confirms he got the ghoulish charger on a kill that wasn’t first of the day, he really has the mount (checked armory) and the comment has 39 upvotes, yet no one else confirms a follow up drop after that.

Does that mean he’s spreading misinformation and people are blindly upvoting the comment, doing multiple runs a day, not getting it and not getting suspicious\reporting back?

Possibly, yes.
Because daily resets have been broken for a LONG time now, and players still don’t get it. If you are logged in at reset time, then your chance to get this stuff may not get reset. That means his “first” kill of the day may have been ineligible to get anything until logging out.

Exactly what gets affected by that is a complete mystery, because Blizzard wants to hide behind the excuse of, “letting the community figure out our weird bugs lol!”

we had a poster here claim that they got the barrel bomber on “not the first run”… and then they started to question their own statement.

if people are running 50+ alts, it’s understandable that they could go into zombie-mode and not notice a daily reset has happened.

I got it first try so it can’t be too low of a drop rate
