14 DAY TRIAL // This year's World of Warcraft holiday event is no much different than past ones, but that doesn't mean it's not going to feature new stuff as well. For example this new item you can obtain "by /kiss -ing a Winter Reveler NPC" to "create snowfall above any targeted player." Cute, insignificant stuff really, but hey, 'tis the season to be jolly!
New features to confirmed for Feast of Winter Veil 2007, according to an official Blizzard report:
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 to follow you around.
As mentioned in the introduction, the rest of the event remains as in the past. Remember that the holiday versions of the bosses will become available starting December 25th, ending Janunary 2nd. A full set of details is available right here, along with some nice in-game screenshots too. Make sure you pay your subscription fee in time so you can enjoy the holidays with the rest of the WoW community.
