Voile d'hiver
is hitting servers in the early morning so get prepared to drink some
Lait de poule du Voile d'hiver
, sit by your
Feu douillet
, and open your
Cadeau volé
--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 le Renne
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
L'abominable Grinche
who decided to upgrade from past year's petty larceny to kidnapping everyone's favorite Blizzard employee--I mean reindeer.
As such, the questline
La méchanceté vous habite...
has accordingly become a daily, in which you save Metzen each day for a
Cadeau volé
which has a chance to presumably contain holiday items as well as an extremely rare chance to contain
Morceau de charbon
which can summon
Grumeau
. 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 (
Boîte à assistant vert
), melt away (
Boîte de bonhomme de neige
), and be less festive (
Clochette tintinnabulante
). 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
Boule de neige
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
Pull bariolé du Voile d'hiver
. Oh, Blizzard. And if you don't want it, you can always exchange it through the optional quest
Merci, mais non merci
. This sweater also comes with its own achievement to serenade enemy capitals (
Vive le Voile d’hiver
).
Festivities
All of Azeroth and beyond have gotten into the spirit of Winter Veil! Winter Revelers (such as
Fêtard de l'Hiver elfe de sang
) 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:
Gui
Houx frais
Poignée de flocons de neige
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
Petits assistants entre amis
.
Snowball Fights
Everyone's favorite annoyance (now knockdown-free, remember), the
Boule de neige
can be purchased from
vendors
or looted from piles of
Neige d'hiver
found on the ground in the Alterac Mountains, near where you fight
L'abominable Grinche
.
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
Chapeau d'hiver vert
or
Chapeau d'hiver rouge
upon their defeat:
Jedoga Cherchelombre
in
Ahn’kahet : l’Ancien royaume
-
Chapeau d'hiver rouge
Seigneur-mage Urom
in
L’Oculus
-
Chapeau d'hiver vert
Grand magus Telestra
in
-
Chapeau d'hiver rouge
Corla, héraut du Crépuscule
in
Cavernes de Rochenoire
-
Chapeau d'hiver rouge
Grande prêtresse Azil
in
Le Cœur-de-Pierre
-
Chapeau d'hiver rouge
Amiral Grondéventre
in
Les Mortemines
-
Chapeau d'hiver rouge
Drahga Brûle-Ombre
in
Grim Batol
-
Chapeau d'hiver vert
Seigneur Godfrey
in
Donjon d’Ombrecroc
-
Chapeau d'hiver vert
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
Travail du cuir
,
Couture
or
Cuisine
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
Patron : Vêtements d'hiver verts
(Horde) or
Patron : Vêtements d'hiver rouges
(Alliance), Leatherworkers will receive
Patron : Bottes d'hiver
and Cooks will recieve
Recette : Cidre chaud
. 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:
Un cadeau soigneusement emballé
,
Un cadeau de fête
,
Un cadeau à l'emballage multicolore
,
Un cadeau secoué doucement
,
Un cadeau tic-taquant
and
Un cadeau pour la fête du Voile d'hiver
. Every year has brought a new special gift in the
Cadeau du Voile d'hiver
! What'd we get this year? A
Cadeau de fête
Baguette de liesse festive
Cadeau secoué doucement
Rôti du Voile d'hiver
or

Quests
This year Winter Veil was updated to have some new quests, so be sure to check it out. The
L'abominable Grinche
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
Forgefer
). Other than start/end NPCs, the quests are essentially exactly the same for both factions.
Grand-père Hiver est ici !
or
Grandpère Hiver est ici !
Start:
Béachevé Chipsou
or
Caloste Tintinnabourse
End:
Grand-père Hiver
or
Grandpère Hiver
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
Grand-père Hiver
in
Orgrimmar
, and Alliance players to the dwarf
Grandpère Hiver
in
Forgefer
. A new quest will become available:
Des friandises pour Grand-père Hiver
or
Des friandises pour Grandpère Hiver
Start & End:
Grand-père Hiver
or
Grandpère Hiver
Another pretty simple quest provided you've trained Cooking and don't mind grabbing the materials for the
Biscuit en pain d'épice
- just bring him 5 cookies and a glass of
Lait glacé
(which can be bought from
vendors
). As a reward, you will be given a
Paquet-cadeau de Gourmandises Fumebois
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!
La méchanceté vous habite...
or
La méchanceté vous habite...
Start:
Etrange bonhomme de neige
End:
Béachevé Chipsou
or
Karfour Tintinnabourse
Turns out that the
L'abominable Grinche
has stolen the treats! Slay him and retrieve the
Friandises volées
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.
Cadeau volé
is a new reward for turning in this quest--it has a small chance to contain
Morceau de charbon
which summons
Grumeau
! 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 Mizanjoie
sells. It's too bad
Morceau de charbon
isn't BoE, like the other holiday pets now are.
Once you have turned in the
Friandises volées
, you will receive another quest:
Un grand merci des Gourmandises Fumebois !
or
Un grand merci des Gourmandises Fumebois !
Start:
Béachevé Chipsou
or
Karfour Tintinnabourse
End:
Grand-père Hiver
or
Grandpère Hiver
Simply speak to the Great(-)father and claim your reward! You will receive a
Cadeau spécial des Gourmandises Fumebois
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:
Recette : Élixir de puissance du Givre
(Alchemy)
Plans : Tranchante de l'hiver
(Blacksmithing)
Formule : Enchantement d'arme (Puissance de l'hiver)
(Enchanting)
Schéma : Maître-neige 9000
(Engineering)
Patron : Gants du Grandpère
(Leatherworking)
Patron : Chemise verte de fête
(Tailoring)
L'esprit de la fête
or
L'esprit de cette fête
Start:
Furmund
or
Goli Krumn
End:
Sagorne Rôdeur-des-Crêtes
or
Historien 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:
La fête du Voile d'hiver
or
La fête du Voile d'hiver
Start:
Sagorne Rôdeur-des-Crêtes
or
Historien Karnik
End:
Baine Sabot-de-Sang
or
Roi Magni Barbe-de-Bronze
The questgiver will give you a book entitled
La fête du Voile d'hiver
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 Sabot-de-Sang
in Thunder Bluff or
Roi Magni Barbe-de-Bronze
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
Patron : Vêtements d'hiver rouges
or for Alliance players to obtain
Patron : Vêtements d'hiver verts
.
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
,
Ptibato Chipsou
.
Vendors found in
Alliance
cities include
Caloste Tintinnabourse
,
Guchie Tintinnabourse
,
Veurgine Tintinnabourse
.
Vendors found in
Horde
cities include
Béachevé Chipsou
,
Chélio Chipsou
,
Laderoute Chipsou
, and
Ochant Chipsou
.
They sell the following items:

Thé du jardin vert
Cidre pétillant
Roue de fromage de fête
Tourte à la viande maison de Graccu
Brochette de bœuf épicé
Jambon au miel de fête
Mousseux de Gentepression
Bière du Grandpère Hiver
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

Vendors found in
Alliance

Papier d'emballage à ruban rouge
and
Papier d'emballage à ruban bleu
from General Goods vendors throughout the year.

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!

Remember that the disguise is lost upon death or shapeshift, so this achievement might take a few tries to accomplish, but thankfully the killing blows are cumulative --just be ready to visit the Wondervolt between battles if PvP isn't your forté.
