Winter Veil is the World of Warcraft counterpart of Christmas. It spans two weeks and a half at the end of December. The event is rich in festivities that culminate with the opening of the presents, on the 25th of December, under the Christmas Trees in Ironforge and Orgrimmar. Participation is open to everyone, but many parts require level 85 to complete. The event itself takes place in Ironforge or Orgrimmar, but also in Alterac Mountains and all capital cities (Alliance and Horde alike). Many rewards can be earned: pets, achievements, and many vanity items. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know to complete the event. 1. Overview↑topThe festivities that Winter Veil proposes revolve mostly around the following:
1.1. Date and TimelineThe event lasts two weeks and a half. It starts on the 15th of December at 6:00AM and ends on the 2nd of January at 6:00AM. Most of the achievements can be completed in a single day, but some can only be completed after opening the presents at the base of the Christmas Tree on the 25th of December. Lump of Coal is the only interesting reward that can take several days to obtain. Indeed, it is obtained from the daily quest but is not a guaranteed drop. 1.2. LocationThe main location of the event is in Ironforge and Orgrimmar, next to the bank. This is where you will find the Christmas Trees and most of the relevant NPCs (Great-Father Winter and the Smokywood Pastures vendors), although this is not where you will spend most of your time (as the event requires you to travel quite a bit).
To complete the event, you will need to travel to many different locations, such as Alterac Mountains (where you will probably spend most of your time since the daily quest takes place there), your capital cities, the enemy capital cities, etc. 1.3. EligibilityTo obtain all the achievements and have a chance to get all the interesting rewards, you will need to be level 85. That said, about half the achievements have no level requirements and can be obtained at low level. For opening all the Christmas presents, level 40 is required. At lower levels, some presents will not be available. 2. Rewards↑topAs with other events, Winter Veil offers a variety of rewards. In the case of Winter Veil, most rewards have a chance to drop and have therefore no guarantee to be obtained by the end of the event. 2.1. Vanity ItemsMechanical Greench summons a mechanical pet that will help you in battle for 10 minutes. Preserved Holly makes your mount more festive. Both items have a chance to be obtained when opening the presents after the 25th of December. Wand of Holiday Cheer enables you to target an area and causes all players in this area to do the /lol emote. This item, which only works on players of your faction, has a 100% chance to be contained in one of the presents that appear after the 25th of December. 2.2. Patterns & RecipesThe following patterns can be bought from NPCs during the event
and are needed
for the
Note that Pattern: Red Winter Clothes (Alliance) or Pattern: Green Winter Clothes (Horde) will be mailed to you at the beginning of the Holiday, if you are a Tailor. The same applies for Leatherworkers and Pattern: Winter Boots. The following patterns have a chance to be obtained after completing the daily quest for the first time and have a chance to be contained in one of the presents that will appear in-game on the 25th of December:
The following recipes can be bought from Smokywood Pastures vendors during the event:
2.3. PetsNone of the pets is guaranteed to be obtained during the event. 4 of the 5 Winter Veil pets have a chance to be looted from the presents on the 25th of December: Finally, every time you do the daily quest, you get a chance to loot the Lump of Coal pet. 2.4. GearMiniature Winter Veil Tree is the only gear reward of the event. This 1.8 One-Hand Dagger for Rogues has a chance to be obtained every time you complete the daily quest. 2.5. AchievementsThe meta-achievement of the event is The achievements related to Winter Veil are:
3. Introductory Quests↑topFor Alliance players, the initial quest for the event is Greatfather Winter is Here!. This quest is given by Wulmort Jinglepocket in Ironforge (next to the bank) and is turned in to Greatfather Winter who is sitting next to the quest giver. You can also get this quest from Smokywood Pastures in every major city. For Horde players, the initial quest for the event is Great-father Winter is Here!. This quest is given by Kaymard Copperpinch in Ironforge (next to the bank) and is turned in to Great-father Winter who is sitting next to the quest giver. The follow-up quest is Treats for Greatfather Winter for Alliance players or Treats for Great-father Winter for Horde players. Note that this is not technically a follow-up quest as you do not need to have completed the first quest to obtain it, but it makes sense to do Greatfather Winter is Here! or Great-father Winter is Here! first. You will need to bring 5 Gingerbread Cookies and 1 glass of Ice Cold Milk to Greatfather Winter (Alliance) or Great-father Winter (Horde). Ice Cold Milk is sold by virtually every innkeepers and general goods vendors in the game. For the cookies, you need to buy Recipe: Gingerbread Cookie from the nearby Smokywood Pastures vendor.

More Lore InformationNext to the event location, you can take the The Reason for the Season (Alliance/Horde) quest given by Goli Krumn in Ironforge and Furmund in Orgrimmar. Completing the quest will give you The Feast of Winter Veil, a book that contains valuable lore information about the event.

Achievement — 'Tis the Season
Note that the Smokywood Pastures vendors are never hostile even when located in an enemy city. Therefore, Alliance players can obtain Pattern: Green Winter Clothes and Horde players can obtain Pattern: Red Winter Clothes, provided that they manage to survive long enough to buy the item. Once you have a complete set, equip it and eat a Graccu's Mince Meat Fruitcake. This will grant you the achievement. 4.

The Abominable Greench has 3.4M health and has only one attack of concern that he uses regularly to jump on a player, damaging all the players in the area and throwing them in the air. It is advised to have a group consisting of at least 1 tank, 1 healer, and 1 dps.
The first time that you will complete You're a Mean One... (Alliance/Horde), you will be given a follow-up quest, A Smokywood Pastures' Thank You! (Alliance/Horde). Upon turning in this quest to Greatfather Winter (Alliance) or Great-father Winter (Horde), you will be rewarded with a Smokywood Pastures Special Gift, which has a chance to contain the following patterns:

Once you have the buff, you need to kill 50 players from the opposite faction. Note that if you die, you will lose the buff and will have to go back to the machine to refresh it. The buff is also removed when shape-shifting, which is bad news for Druids. Losing the buff does not reset your kill count. A good place to gather these kills is the Isle of Conquest. Simply queue for this Battleground and stick with your group. 8.
