Wow Bomb Them Again Quest Line
Table of Contents
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 110 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.
In 2020, you can stop by the Smokeywoods Pastures cart in Ironforge or Orgrimmar and click on Greatfeather Pepe to obtain 
A Tiny Winter Hat. When you summon Pepe to join you on your adventures, he may show up in the perfect Winter Veil outfit, complete with a tiny beard.
This year's presents are Wreath-a-Rang, a toy ball that you can kick to a friendly target, and Shaking Pet Carrier that teaches you Jingles, a baby raptor battle pet.
In 2019, Blizzard added a sleigh ride to Orgrimmar and Stormwind. Last year's 
Toy Armor Set (Alliance) / 
Toy Armor Set (Horde) gifts and 
Hearthstation (Alliance) / 
Hearthstation (Horde) can now be found in the 
Stolen Present. The item level of 
Miniature Winter Veil Tree and 
Glowing Gift has been increased to 395.
This year's gifts are 
Wild Holly, which transforms your mount into a Wild Reindeer for 60 minutes and faction-themed remote control toys 
Crashin' Thrashin' Battleship (Alliance) and 
Crashin' Thrashin' Juggernaught (Horde).
In 2018, the special gift of the event is a Toy Armor Set (Alliance) / Toy Armor Set (Horde). Getting this toy grants the new At Least You're Being Careful achievement.
In addition, Miniature Winter Veil Tree had its item level updated to 335 this year.
The festivities that Winter Veil proposes revolve mostly around the following:
- a daily group quest that consists in killing The Abominable Greench in order to recover stolen goods and free Metzen the Reindeer, and that has a chance to reward you with a pet;
- kissing revelers (NPCs found in inns) every hour in order to obtain items required for doing achievements;
- opening presents on the 25th of December;
- doing achievements not related to any of the 3 aforementioned activities.
The event lasts two weeks and a half. It starts on the 16th of December at 10:00AM 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.
The 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).
| Ironforge | Orgrimmar |
|---|---|
 |  |
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.
To 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.
As 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.
Mechanical 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.
"Merry Munchkin" Costume is a costume for your Perky Pug. It can be looted from Carefully Wrapped Present, one of the 25th of December presents.
The following patterns can be bought from NPCs during the event and are needed for the 
'Tis the Season achievement:
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:
There are many toys that can be obtained during the event.
Gifts contained in the Winter Veil Gift on the 25th of December this year contain Wreath-A-Rang, a ball toy that you can kick to friendly players. Likewise, Wild Holly is guaranteed to be contained in the Gently Shaken Gift. The toy is usable during Winter Veil and transforms your mount into a Wild Reindeer for 60 minutes.
Special toys from past years and other toys are also lootable from Stolen Present:
In addition to 
Crashin' Thrashin' Flamer Controller, there are 4 other toy controllers that you can obtain to complete the Iron Armada achievement (see our section on this achievement): 
Crashin' Thrashin' Mortar Controller, 
Crashin' Thrashin' Roller Controller, 
Crashin' Thrashin' Cannon Controller, and 
Crashin' Thrashin' Killdozer Controller.
Izzy Hollyfizzle sells a number of Garrison decorations, each for 5 
Merry Supplies:
See our Garrison section to find out more about Merry Supplies.
2.5.
Transmogrification Gear
One of the 25th of December present can contain:
The outfits can be looted from the chest created by Disposable Winter Veil Suits. The hats cannot be looted from the chest and instead drop from Krosus in the Nighthold, Talixae Flamewreath in the Court of Stars, and Saprish in the Seat of the Triumvirate ( Finely-Tailored Red Holiday Hat) and from Illysana Ravencrest in Black Rook Hold, King Deepbeard in Eye of Azshara, and Varimatrhas in Antorus (WoWFinelyTailoredGreenHolidayHat).
- Red Outfit
- Green Outfit
In 2020, the Winter Veil present contains a battle pet called Jingles.
None of the remaining pets listed below is guaranteed to be obtained during the event. 4 of the 8 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 one of the following pets:
Minion of Grumpus has a chance to be contained in 
Savage Gift, which you can buy for 5 Merry Supplies from Izzy Hollyfizzle in your Garrison.
See our Garrison section to find out more about Merry Supplies.
Miniature 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.
The meta-achievement of the event is Merrymaker. It counts towards 
What a Long, Strange Trip It's Been and rewards the Merrymaker title.
The achievements related to Winter Veil are:
For 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 Orgrimmar (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. To make the cookies, you will need:
Completing this follow-up quest will reward you with Smokywood Pastures Gift Pack, which has always contained low level crafting materials. A few hours later, you will be mailed a 
Smokywood Pastures Sampler, which contains holiday food and Graccu's Mince Meat Fruitcakes (that you need for the 'Tis the Season achievement).
3.1.
More Lore Information
Next 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. You also get a follow-up quest, The Feast of Winter Veil (Alliance / Horde), which requires you to bring the book to Muradin Bronzebeard in Ironforge or Baine Bloodhoof in Thunder Buff.
3.2.
Achievement — 'Tis the Season
Once you have obtained Graccu's Mince Meat Fruitcakes, you still need to procure a complete Winter Garb set before you can earn the 'Tis the Season achievement:
- Head
- Chest
- Feet
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.
Kissing Winter Revelers
During the event, you will find Winter Revelers inside inns. Every time you /kiss one of these NPCs, two things happen:
- you get debuffed with
Mistletoe, which prevents you from kissing another Reveler for one hour; - you obtain 1 of 3 rewards that are needed to complete some of the achievements:
In this section, we detail the 3 achievements linked to kissing Revelers: 
Fa-la-la-la-Ogri'la, 
Let It Snow, and 
Bros. Before Ho Ho Ho's (Alliance/Horde).
4.1.1.
Fa-la-la-la-Ogri'la
Fa-la-la-la-Ogri'la requires you to use Fresh Holly or Preserved Holly while on the Bomb Them Again! daily quest in Blade's Edge Mountains. Upon completing the quest, you will be granted the achievement.
Note that, in addition to having the chance to be contained in one of the presents on the 25th of December, Preserved Holly can also be obtained by completing the The Hero of the Day (Alliance / Horde) quest during Winter Veil (at the event location in Ironforge or Orgrimmar). This will require you to turn in a

Daily Quest: The Abominable Greench and Metzen the Reindeer
You're a Mean One... (Alliance / Horde) is the only daily quest of the event. It is given to you by Wulmort Jinglepocket in Ironforge and Kaymard Copperpinch in Orgrimmar.
This quest is a group quest, in the same model as the Threat From Above (Alliance / Horde) daily group quest from the Argent Tournament, where groups had to fight to be the first to tag Chillmaw as soon as it respawned. Here, the mob to kill is The Abominable Greench who is located at the Growless Cave in the Alterac Mountains (south of the Ruins of Alterac).
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.
After killing the Greench, someone in your party should talk to Metzen to free him. Stolen goods are to be recovered by clicking the sacks in front of the cave. Then, you can go back to Ironforge or Orgrimmar to turn in the quest to Wulmort Jinglepocket or Kaymard Copperpinch. You will be rewarded with a Stolen Present, which has a chance to contain:
- Lump of Coal (pet);
-
Clockwork Rocket Bot (pet); - Blue Clockwork Rocket Bot (pet, also sold by vendors);
-
Rotten Helper Box (pet); - Miniature Winter Veil Tree (item level 880 dagger);
-
Scroll of Storytelling (toy); -
Red Rider Air Rifle (toy, also sold by vendors); -
MiniZep Controller (toy); -
Gaudy Winter Veil Sweater (toy, also sold by vendors); -
Foot Ball (toy, also sold by vendors); -
The Pigskin (toy, also sold by vendors); -
Toy Train Set (toy, also sold by vendors); -
Wind-Up Train Wrecker (toy, also sold by vendors); - Blue Crashin' Thrashin' Racer Controller (toy, also sold by vendors);
-
Crashin' Thrashin' Flyer Controller (toy); - Crashin' Thrashin' Racer Controller (toy);
-
Fuzzy Green Lounge Cushion; -
Pineapple Lounge Cushion; -
Safari Lounge Cushion; -
Zhevra Lounge Cushion; -
Tiny Blue Ragdoll (toy, also sold by vendors); -
Tiny Green Ragdoll (toy, also sold by vendors).
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:
In addition, approximately one day after completing the quest, you will receive a 
Winter Veil Disguise Kit in the mail. This item is required for the A Frosty Shake achievement.
This achievement will be automatically completed the first time you do You're a Mean One... (Alliance / Horde).
This achievement will be automatically completed when you hand in Greatfather Winter (Alliance) or Great-father Winter (Horde).
After receiving your Winter Veil Disguise Kit in the mail, you will be able to complete the A Frosty Shake achievement. To do so, travel to Dalaran with a friend who also has the disguise. There, the both of you will need to use your disguises and then dance with each other, by typing /dance while targeting the other. If you must go alone, then you will probably find someone with a disguise to dance with.
Every time you want to use your Winter Veil Disguise Kit, you need a 
Snowball, which you can acquire from the following sources:
- from a Smokywood Pastures General Goods vendor;
- from a snow mound in Alterac Mountains, Dun Morogh, or Winterspring;
- by using your
Snowmaster 9000, if you are an engineer.
Note that if for some reason, you cannot remove the disguise, you should use the following command:
- /cancelaura snowman
5.1.4.
A-Caroling We Will Go
To complete this achievement, you must obtain a Gaudy Winter Veil Sweater, which you have a chance of finding in each Stolen Present.
Once you have the sweater, you should use it in each of the 4 enemy capital cities to earn the 
A-Caroling We Will Go (Alliance/Horde) achievement.
A good idea is to do this achievement at the same time as BB King (Alliance/Horde), as it will also require you to travel to enemy capital cities.
Note that if you want to get rid of the Gaudy Winter Veil Sweater, you can have it refunded for 5 
by completing the Thanks, But No Thanks (Alliance / Horde) quest.

Gifts on the 25th of December
On the 25th of December, 6 presents will appear at the base of the Christmas Trees in Ironforge and Orgrimmar. Each of these presents has a specific name and starts an instant quest that rewards you with items specific to the present:
This loot table is updated for 2018.

| Winter Veil Gift | Toy Armor Set (Alliance) / Toy Armor Set (Horde) |
The presents remain under the tree until the 2nd of January.
There are two achievements related to this 25th of December event.
6.1.1.
He Knows If You've Been Naughty
Opening all the presents will automatically grant you the He Knows If You've Been Naughty achievement.
This achievement requires a Crashin' Thrashin' Flyer Controller. You can use the flyer (an airplane) that is summoned by the item to shoot down other players' flyers. To do so, simply be in the vicinity of another flyer and use the first ability of your flyer (automatically bound to "1"). Each time you use this ability, your flyer will deal some damage to the other flyer, and after a few attacks, you the other flyer will be destroyed and you will gain the 
The Danger Zone achievement.
The second ability of your flyer (bound to "2") gives it a speed boost, although this will probably not be necessary. While you can try to find other players using flyers in the proximity of the Christmas Tree, or you can just ask a friend to help you out.
In the center of your Garrison, you will find Almie (Alliance) or Pizzle (Horde), who offers the following daily quests: Where Are the Children?, What Horrible Presents!, Menacing Grumplings, and Grumpus. Together, these quests reward a total of 5 Merry Supplies per day, which you can then turn in to Izzy Hollyfizzle (right next to Almie/Pizzle). She sells a number of items, each one for 5 Merry Supplies:
There are 6 achievements that are not connected to any other part of Winter Veil: BB King (Alliance/Horde), Crashin' & Thrashin', Scrooge (Alliance/Horde), The Winter Veil Gourmet, 
With a Little Helper from My Friends, Iron Armada. We will detail them below.
First, the BB King (Alliance/Horde) achievement requires you to obtain a Red Rider Air Rifle. This item is sold by Craggle Wobbletop in Stormwind City, Blax Bottlerocket in Orgrimmar, and Clockwork Assistant and Jepetto Joybuzz in Dalaran.
Second, you need to use the rifle on each of the 4 leaders of the ennemy faction. Typically, there will be a lot of groups advertising in trade for this achievement and you should try to join one of them. You might also earn the 
For The Alliance! or 
For The Horde! achievement as a result.
Note that if you are ready to do a lot of corpse running, it is possible to earn the achievement with a level 1 character.
A good idea is to postpone doing this achievement until after the 25th of December, so that you can do it at the same time as A-Caroling We Will Go (Alliance/Horde).
First, the Crashin' & Thrashin' achievement requires you to obtain a Blue Crashin' Thrashin' Racer Controller. This item is sold by Craggle Wobbletop in Stormwind City, Blax Bottlerocket in Orgrimmar, and Clockwork Assistant and Jepetto Joybuzz in Dalaran.
Second, you need to find a spot where other players are using their racers. This will typically be the area around the Christmas Tree in Ironforge or Orgrimmar. You can also earn the achievement with the help of a friend.
Third, use your Blue Crashin' Thrashin' Racer Controller. This will enable you to pilot your racer. It has only one ability, 
Racer Rocket Slam, which you need to use in order to crash into other players' racers. After 25 crashes, you will earn the achievement.
For completing the Scrooge (Alliance/Horde) achievement, you need to throw a Snowball at Muradin Bronzebeard (in the throne room in Ironforge) if you play Alliance, or at Baine Bloodhoof (in Thunder Bluff) if you play Horde.
You can acquire a Snowball from the following sources:
- from a Smokywood Pastures vendor;
- from a snow mound in Alterac Mountains, Dun Morogh, or Winterspring;
- by using your Snowmaster 9000, if you are an engineer.
8.4.
The Winter Veil Gourmet
To complete the The Winter Veil Gourmet achievement, you need to buy recipes from Smokywood Pastures vendors, and cook them:
Note that if you have completed the introductory quests, they you will have already cooked Gingerbread Cookies.
8.5.
With a Little Helper from My Friends
To complete the With a Little Helper from My Friends achievement, you need to find a Winter Wondervolt machine in one of your capital cities. They are usually located next to the Flight Master.
These machines give the PX-238 Winter Wondervolt buff, which transforms you into a gnome. Alliance players get a red outfit while Horde players get a green outfit. If you play a female character, you will get a female model, and if you play male character, you will get a male model. For each faction, there are 3 female models and 4 male models. If you prefer one of them, you should use the machine several times, until it gives you your favorite model:
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.
Iron Armada requires you to obtain 5 controllers that were introduced in the 2022 event:
