You should also see some special Hallow's End quests that result in Event XP. The Zombification one, for example, requires you to summon 850 minions in traditional Hearthstone game modes. After completing this one, you must then start Witch's Cauldon, which requires you to cast spells. Finally, the Blood Suckers quest requires healing a total of 325 health.

Don't forget about the daily quests, either. In our case, we have the one that requires us to cast 10 Fel or Shadow spells. If your daily quest isn't to your liking, then you can reroll it by pressing the red icon in the top-right corner of the quest card.
