Winterhauchfest
is hitting servers in the early morning so get prepared to drink some
Winterhaucheierflip
, sit by your
Gemütliches Feuer
, and open your
Gestohlenes Geschenk
--wait, what? Is that a new type of present we've found in the database? That's right, like many holidays as of late, Blizzard's changed the classic Winter's Veil into their new format featuring a daily queue and some new prizes. There's also a new holiday gift waiting for you under this year's tree, so this is one holiday you don't want to miss!
2011 Changes
World of Warcraft's version of Christmas has been more or less the same for several years now minus the unique gift every year is known for. This year it has been changed fairly significantly so before we get started with the guide, we'd like to get these out of the way.
If you've done the holiday in the past, you've likely saved
Metzen das Rentier
a few times from a band of intrepid Iron Dwarves who kidnapped him or a group of marauding pirates in Tanaris depending on your faction. This year, however, he's become kidnapped by
Der monströse Griesgram
who decided to upgrade from past year's petty larceny to kidnapping everyone's favorite Blizzard employee--I mean reindeer.
As such, the questline
So was Gemeines...
has accordingly become a daily, in which you save Metzen each day for a
Gestohlenes Geschenk
which has a chance to presumably contain holiday items as well as an extremely rare chance to contain
Kohleklumpen
which can summon
Klumpi
. While it is a daily, you do not queue to save Metzen; rather, you treck to Hillsbrad and find the Greench there. He is an untaggable NPC--when he dies, gift bags spawn that any players can loot. As long as you loot a bag and speak to Metzen within 5 minutes of the Greench's death, you will complete both relevant quests.
Another change is that the seasonal pets from this year and the past
as we previewed a few months back
got some holiday cheer. They now have animations when out of season to hearth (
Grüne Helferbox
), melt away (
Schneemannset
), and be less festive (
Bimmelglöckchen
). Presumably this means they have special animations for the season as well, so be sure to take those guys out--remember, they no longer cost a
Schneeball
to summon so you have nothing to lose!
Last but not least, this year's reward from underneath the tree in your faction's capital city is a
Greller Winterhauchpulli
. Oh, Blizzard. And if you don't want it, you can always exchange it through the optional quest
Danke, aber nein danke
. This sweater also comes with its own achievement to serenade enemy capitals (
Süßer die Feinde nie klingen
).
Festivities
All of Azeroth and beyond have gotten into the spirit of Winter Veil! Winter Revelers (such as
Winterfeiernde Blutelfenfrau
) can be found inside inns throughout the world located under a sprig of mistletoe. Simply /kiss a Reveler (it doesn't matter which gender) and you will be rewarded with a token of their gratitude. You can only /kiss a Reveler once every hour, as you will receive a debuff along with whatever gift they've granted you, which can include:
Mistelzweig
Frischer Tannenzweig
Handvoll Schneeflocken
These items are used in various Winter Veil achievements (as detailed below).
Become a Little Helper!
In addition to the Smokywood Pastures vendors located inside the cities, the goblins have set up strange PX-238 Winter Wondervolt machines which can be used to change your character into a festive Little Helper! The buff lasts for 30 minutes but is removed by shapeshifting or death (another sad holiday to be a druid). You can refresh the duration of the buff at any time by stepping into the Wintervolt machine. You can also do this to change gnomes costumes until you get one that you like. This disguise is required to complete the achievement
Kleiner Helfer in der Not
.
Snowball Fights
Everyone's favorite annoyance (now knockdown-free, remember), the
Schneeball
can be purchased from
vendors
or looted from piles of
Feiertagsschnee
found on the ground in the Alterac Mountains, near where you fight
Der monströse Griesgram
.
Hunt a Winter Hat
During the Feast of Winter Veil, certain humanoid bosses now sport a festive holiday hat! The following bosses will drop a
Grüne Wintermütze
or
Rote Wintermütze
upon their defeat:
Jedoga Schattensucher
in
Ahn'kahet: Das Alte Königreich
-
Rote Wintermütze
Magierlord Urom
in
Das Oculus
-
Grüne Wintermütze
Großmagistrix Telestra
in
-
Rote Wintermütze
Corla, Botin des Zwielichts
in
Schwarzfelshöhlen
-
Rote Wintermütze
Hohepriesterin Azil
in
Der Steinerne Kern
-
Rote Wintermütze
Admiral Knurrreißer
in
Die Todesminen
-
Rote Wintermütze
Drahga Schattenbrenner
in
Grim Batol
-
Grüne Wintermütze
Lord Godfrey
in
Burg Schattenfang
-
Grüne Wintermütze
The winter hats also have an extremely low chance to drop from any humanoid mob in the world; I wouldn't hold your breath but who knows--you could get lucky! In previous years, both heroic bosses (but not normal ones) in Northrend and Cataclysm dropped hats--it should follow the same trend in 2011. If you're unlucky winning rolls, seems your best bet is to try to solo a Northrend heroic boss.
Crafting Recipes
Players with
Lederverarbeitung
,
Schneiderei
or
Kochkunst
may find that they've received mail from Greatfather Winter written on festive stationary. Oddly enough, the Alliance Greatfather sends the gifts to both factions - a free recipe! Tailors will receive either
Muster: Grüne Winterkleidung
(Horde) or
Muster: Rote Winterkleidung
(Alliance), Leatherworkers will receive
Muster: Winterstiefel
and Cooks will recieve
Rezept: Heißer Apfelwein
. There are certain skill level requirements for each recipe to be mailed, but if for any reason you did not receive a recipe, don't worry--the recipes can be purchased at vendors in the major cities, as listed below.
Gift-Giving
The most exciting part of Winter Veil comes near the end when we get our presents! The presents under Greatfather Winter's tree can be opened from
December 25 to January 2
. There are a total of six presents that can be "opened" by completing the quest given by the gift itself under the tree:
Ein sorgfältig verpacktes Geschenk
,
Ein Festtagsgeschenk
,
Ein fröhlich verpacktes Geschenk
,
Ein leicht geschütteltes Geschenk
,
Ein tickendes Geschenk
and
Ein Winterhauchgeschenk
. Every year has brought a new special gift in the
Winterhauchgeschenk
! What'd we get this year? A

Quests
This year Winter Veil was updated to have some new quests, so be sure to check it out. The
Der monströse Griesgram
has been changed this year and we'll update the guide more as we find changes on live.
All Winter Veil quests can be obtained in your faction's major city (
Orgrimmar
or
Eisenschmiede
). Other than start/end NPCs, the quests are essentially exactly the same for both factions.
Altvater Winter ist hier!
or
Altvater Winter ist hier!
Start:
Kaymard Kupferzwick
or
Macey Klingeltaschen
End:
Altvater Winter
or
Altvater Winter
This quest's objective is pretty self-explanitory--simply obtain the quest from the Smokywoods Pasture vendor in any major Horde or Alliance city (except Darnassus) and head to your faction's major city to complete it. Horde players turn the quest in to the orc
Altvater Winter
in
Orgrimmar
, and Alliance players to the dwarf
Altvater Winter
in
Eisenschmiede
. A new quest will become available:
Leckereien für Altvater Winter
or
Leckereien für Altvater Winter
Start & End:
Altvater Winter
or
Altvater Winter
Another pretty simple quest provided you've trained Cooking and don't mind grabbing the materials for the
Lebkuchen
- just bring him 5 cookies and a glass of
Eiskalte Milch
(which can be bought from
vendors
). As a reward, you will be given a
Kokelwälder Geschenkpackung
which contains some
low level tradeskill materials
, so it's up to you whether its worth your time to give the man his cookies and milk!
So was Gemeines...
or
So was Gemeines...
Start:
Seltsamer Schneemann
End:
Kaymard Kupferzwick
or
Wulmort Klingeltaschen
Turns out that the
Der monströse Griesgram
has stolen the treats! Slay him and retrieve the
Gestohlene Leckereien
so that the Smokywood Pastures guys can get on with the holiday festivities! The Greench is a high-level elite now, that flags players for PvP and one-shots players trying to solo him. Fortunately, you do not need to have tagged the Greench to get credit. When he is defeated, sacks of gifts will spawn at the entrance of his cave, which anyone can loot.
Gestohlenes Geschenk
is a new reward for turning in this quest--it has a small chance to contain
Kohleklumpen
which summons
Klumpi
! Remember, it's a daily quest in 2011 now, so you can have a shot every day at this pet. The other rewards are toy items
Jepetto Spaßbrumm
sells. It's too bad
Kohleklumpen
isn't BoE, like the other holiday pets now are.
Once you have turned in the
Gestohlene Leckereien
, you will receive another quest:
Ein Dankeschön von Kokelwälder!
or
Ein Dankeschön von Kokelwälder!
Start:
Kaymard Kupferzwick
or
Wulmort Klingeltaschen
End:
Altvater Winter
or
Altvater Winter
Simply speak to the Great(-)father and claim your reward! You will receive a
Kokelwälder Spezialgeschenk
which contains a seasonal tradeskill recipe! This is the only way you can get these recipes, and the recipe you receive is
random
so you may be able to trade with other players or guildmates for one you might need. If you don't get the recipe you want, you can always check the Auction House or wait until next year.
Open the special gift to get one of the following recipes at random:
Rezept: Elixier der Frostmacht
(Alchemy)
Pläne: Schneide des Winters
(Blacksmithing)
Formel: Waffe - Wintermacht
(Enchanting)
Bauplan: Schneemeister 9000
(Engineering)
Muster: Handschuhe des Altvaters
(Leatherworking)
Muster: Grünes Festtagshemd
(Tailoring)
Der Anlass für die Feiertage
or
Der Anlass für die Feiertage
Start:
Furmund
or
Goli Krumn
End:
Sagorne Gratläufer
or
Historiker Karnik
This short quest chain intends to explain the lore behind the Feast of Winter Veil. The questgiver is located near the bank in your faction's major city, and he will send you to another NPC located within that city. Once there, you will receive a new quest:
Das Winterhauchfest
or
Das Winterhauchfest
Start:
Sagorne Gratläufer
or
Historiker Karnik
End:
Baine Bluthuf
or
König Magni Bronzebart
The questgiver will give you a book entitled
Das Winterhauchfest
to read, which contains some insight into the different races' celebrations of the holiday. Once you have read the book you are asked to bring it to either
Baine Bluthuf
in Thunder Bluff or
König Magni Bronzebart
in Ironforge, who will reward you with 500 reputation with their respective city and 125 with each other faction city--a considerable amount of reputation!
Seasonal Goodies
There are a number of items that are only available during the Feast of Winter Veil. Smokeywood Pastures vendors can be found in all major cities selling a variety of holiday goodies, including a plethora of food and drink items, wrapping paper, and even some seasonal recipes! Please note that the three of the recipes are Bind on Pickup, and as such (of course) cannot be sold or traded. This means that it is not easily possible for Horde players to obtain
Muster: Rote Winterkleidung
or for Alliance players to obtain
Muster: Grüne Winterkleidung
.
However
, since the vendors are enterprising goblins, belonging to the Smokywood Pastures "faction," they are all friendly to both Horde and Alliance. This means that the most intrepid reveler can manage to sneak into the opposing faction's city and purchase all recipes. You can even stay mounted up while purchasing them, for a quick getaway.
If you aren't a crafter or you're not very keen on flying around the other faction's city, the holiday clothes are
not
Bind on Pickup (or even Bind when Equipped) and therefore can be bought, sold and traded via the Auction House.
Food & Drinks
Smokeywood Pastures food and drink vendors can be found located near a faction's Auction House in every major city. Copperpinch vendors can be found in Horde cities, and the Jinglepocket vendors can be found in Alliance cities. An additional Copperpinch vendor can be found in
Shattrath
,
Olnayvi Kupferzwick
.
Vendors found in
Alliance
cities include
Macey Klingeltaschen
,
Guchie Klingeltaschen
,
Bessbi Klingeltaschen
.
Vendors found in
Horde
cities include
Kaymard Kupferzwick
,
Jaycrue Kupferzwick
,
Morshelz Kupferzwick
, and
Whulwert Kupferzwick
.
They sell the following items:
Bohnengebräu
Grüner Gartentee
Prickelnder Apfelwein
Festtagskäserad
Graccus hausgemachte Fleischpastete
Brachländer Würstchen
Honigveredelter Festtagsschinken
Dampfdruckprickelschnaps
Altvater Winters Bier
General Goods
Smokeywood Pastures "general goods"-style vendors can be found right next to the food/drink vendors. Copperpinch vendors can be found in Horde cities, and the Jinglepocket vendors can be found in Alliance cities. An additional Jinglepocket vendor can be found in
Shattrath
,
Eebee Klingeltasche
.
Vendors found in
Alliance
cities include
Wulmort Klingeltaschen
,
Khole Klingeltaschen
,
Wolgren Klingeltaschen
.
Vendors found in
Horde
cities include
Penney Kupferzwick
,
Hotoppik Kupferzwick
,
Seersa Kupferzwick
,
Nardstrum Kupferzwick
.
They sell the following items:
Schneeball
Geschenkpapier mit blauem Band
Geschenkpapier mit grünem Band
Geschenkpapier mit lila Band
Festtagsgewürze
Festtagstropfen
Zuckerstange
Rezept: Lebkuchen
Rezept: Winterhaucheierflip
Rezept: Heißer Apfelwein
Be sure to stock up on the holiday wrapping paper, as it's the only time of the year you can buy it! Otherwise, you're stuck with
Geschenkpapier mit rotem Band
and
Geschenkpapier mit blauem Band
from General Goods vendors throughout the year.
Patterns
In addition to the seasonal goods listed above, the vendors located in the two major cities (Orgrimmar and Ironforge) will also sell a tailoring pattern to create festive winter clothes and a leatherworking pattern to create matching boots!
Penney Kupferzwick
in Orgrimmar or
Wulmort Klingeltaschen
in Ironforge sell:
Muster: Grüne Winterkleidung
(Horde)
Muster: Rote Winterkleidung
(Alliance)
Muster: Winterstiefel
