New Additions To Feast Of The Winter Veil

by Angelo on December 8th, 2007

The Feast of the Winter Veil is almost here (it’s coming out December 15) and just like this year’s Hallow’s End festival, there will be some new additions coming to keep us players more interested and involved in celebrating! In this year’s Hallow’s End festival, we saw the attacks of the Headless Horseman on various low level towns. Of course, we also saw the Headless Horseman encounter in the Scarlet Monastery graveyard for level 70 players and the nice loot he dropped for us all.

This year’s Feast of the Winter Veil festival will bring back some of the cool Winter Veil goodies from the past and turned them into things the level 70’s can enjoy!

- The Preserved Holly that players can get from completing special holiday quests can now be used on flying mounts. This will temporarily turn their flying mount into a flying reindeer that trails sparkles as it flies through the air
- Handful of Snowflakes – this is a new item you can obtain by /kiss –ing a Winter Reveler NPC. It will create a light snowfall above any targeted player.
- Burning Crusade Holiday Bosses – as in past years, certain bosses will be dressed in a festive fashion and will drop seasonal hats when defeated. The holiday versions of the bosses will begin on Dec. 25 and end on Jan. 2. These bosses include:

• Grand Warlock Netherkurse (Shattered Halls)
• Grandmaster Vorpil (Shadow Labyrinth)
• Exarch Maladaar (Auchenai Crypts)
• Captain Skarloc (Durnholde Keep)
• Nethermancer Sepethrea (Mechanar)
• High Botanists Freywinn (Botanica)

- Mechanotoy – This is a new gift that can be obtained from under the Winter Veil tree in Ironforge and Orgrimmar. It lets you summon a Mechanotoy non-combat pet (pic1 - pic2) to follow you around. Source

After getting that cool epic quality ring from the Headless Horseman during the Hallow’s End festival, it’s a bit disappointing that none of the bosses above will drop cool gear. But I guess that’s asking too much especially since new gear was already added to the game when Zul’aman came out and Season 3 started.
