This has got to be the cutest reference ever.

Commentaire de Sware

Great PVP Zone, hopefully you're all on a PVP server. :)

Commentaire de 8763

It took me two hours of camping him to finally kill him. The quest itself is not hard, the hard part is the 50+ players trying to kill him at the same time.

Commentaire de Toldry

What are the reward for this quest except 3300 experience (or a 19s 80c compensation at level 70)?

Commentaire de 55780

the spawn time is awful

Commentaire de doown

The follow-up is a simple turn-in quest to Greatfather Winter, and rewards you Smokywood Pastures Special Gift.

Commentaire de 108694

I had no problem with this on my hunter. I just put my pet on aggresive & he got the tag! I changed the pet to passive to allow the members of my group to get in range to get credit for it when a 70 warlock came & dotted him.

Commentaire de rdewalt

He's physically larger (+20%?) than any of the other yetis, as well as being a more dull gray, so he stands out pretty easily.

I'd say that he was an easy mob to solo. But, well... lvl 37 elite vs lvl 70 mage? He might as well have been Hogger.

Commentaire de 30469

Is this Alliance only quest? Who do I hand in if Horde?

Commentaire de typ0

If you're on a server with a heavy faction-imbalance, like on my server were horde outnumbers Alliance 3-1, expect to perfect your corpserunning-skill!

Commentaire de Ramstein

There are about 5 different spawn locations. After much PvP eventually we camped a spot for about 5 minutes and he spawned, we tapped, we left. Worst part of the Winterveil Achievements so far.

Commentaire de Lensman

As a leatherworker the good thing about this quest is the number of skinable Yeti bodies that are just left lying about in the snow. I must have made over 50 heavy leather in just under an hour.

Commentaire de 55943

They have certainly lowered the spawntime, he spawned on the same spot about 15 sec after I killed him, and I counted five RAWWWWR in a couple of minutes.

So this quest just got a whole lot less aggravating!

Commentaire de link991

seems the increased his spawn rate, I was trying to do the quests 2 hours ago and it took him 45 minutes to spawn but when I tried again just now he spawned 3 times within 5 minutes

Edit: Why did so many people feel the need to down vote all the years old comments? They have tags with the date and patch number for a reason.

Commentaire de Reeecko

Just killed him at 40, 67. There was a Tauren Druid that was right there as he spawned and got the kill. Roughly about 2 secs later another Greench spawned in the exact same spot and i got the kill. Happy hunting everyone.

Commentaire de bhoot

Use this if you are lvl 70+ and not a hunter

Used it myself and got the kill in a minute.

Commentaire de 281738

I just killed him as well as 1 othr Yeti I accidentally pulled, and he spawned apoximatly 1-2 min. after I killed him.

Commentaire de 47930

Respawned instantly. I had to kill him 3 times before I could get away.

Commentaire de 88677

Doing this on my druid, it took forever to find the damn greench. Been running back and forth in the entire path for about 15 minutes and still no show.

Commentaire de delson75

new location: 45,38 next to some trees

Commentaire de wisemoon

As of patch 4.0, Abominable Greench found at coordinates 40, 29.

Commentaire de shamokens

after the release of cataclysm he spawned at 40, 29

Commentaire de remotettl

when he spawns, he yells that RARRRR!
in red color all over your chat box. so hes near. i`ve killed one to right side of cave (where you do low lvl quest).

Commentaire de 649564

Confirmed, 45.43, 38.37 and respawn timer is not bugged, at least not on my realm. He stayed despwn for bout five min when i foud his corpse then respwned like instantly four times after a couple of us killed him. . . .

Commentaire de 713718

Got him at 39,34. He did not re-spawn nearby. Hunters, remember, he's a beast.

Commentaire de Felix79

Spawn is still the same in Cata and his respawn is still very quick.

Commentaire de leon4ever

Confirmed, 39,34. He respawned when i just killed.

Commentaire de Malvenue

How can this quest NOT give Steamwheedle rep?

Commentaire de 737592

found him at 40,26

Commentaire de TheStatman

This quest has been changed as of 4.3. It now appears to be a Daily Group quest, requiring lvl 80 to pick it up. Also, it rewards Cadeau volé. Perhaps Blizzard made the Greench into an Un-Instanced Holiday Boss rather than have a LFD thing like previous Holidays.

Edit:Cadeau volé will have a chance to contain Morceau de charbon, some Justice Points if you are not capped, as well as other assorted holiday pets and toys.

Commentaire de 473075

...Mr. Neeerd

Commentaire de mysticmoggy

Just did this quest, the guy hits like a truck. Found him at 45,38. Take more than a few friends - he really doesn't like to be killed and puts up a heck of a fight. Not sure if it's because we were in a raid group or not but the completion didn't come up until we all left the group. Happy Greench hunting :)

Oh - and stand too near whilst someone else is doing the quest and you can get hurt too - just incase you were hoping to watch someone else do it first.

Cadeau volé gave me Tiny Blue Ragdoll, Crashin' Thrashin' Racer Controller and 24 JP.

Commentaire de 560375

Flew to Hillbrad Foothills for a quick kill before I went to work, I was quite surprised that the Grinch had 34m health, luckily for me I was on my rogue, vanish FTW.

I guess it is a raid type boss now, solo him at your own peril.

Merry Christmas from Finland!

Commentaire de Aamunkajo

You can complete the quest even if you're not part of the kill now. Metzen and the sacks are rescuable & lootable for a few minutes after Grinch has been killed, until the respawn.

I killed him with three people. Took a while with that setup. I was tanking on a non-tank geared DK in tanking spec (still gathering that tanking gear), and it seemed I didn't need that much healing. The charges can kill unaware ranged, though.

Commentaire de Thiron

Greench is now an outdoor boss with over 3 mil HP.
When fighting him, you'll be affected by Cœur rapetissé. Just move sometimes, it's not really noticeable.
He also has two skills you do need to watch out for, both require you to move away from marked locations:

He does Lancer d’étrange bonhomme de neige, after a few seconds snowman will do a chilling AoE - Fracas de neige, dealing around 30k damage and freezing everyone around for 6 seconds.
He throws a Christmas tree (Lancer d’arbre du Voile d’hiver), after a few seconds he will do Broiement abominable to trample it, dealing ~100k AoE damage and throwing you in the air a bit, not very high.

While it is possible to solo for some classes (hunter for example), it's hard so I would recommend bringing a normal group with tank and healer.

After he's dead, reindeer Metzen will appear nearby, you can talk to it for the quest. The gifts are near the cave where he spawns.
I'm not sure yet, but I think you can complete the quest even if you didn't participate in the kill and were just nearby.

Commentaire de 712374

I just looted the quest item from the cave when someone else had killed the boss and delivered the quest. An an Epic quality dagger dropped from the Stolen Present Container!

Miniature Winter Veil Tree
BOE
One-Hand Dagger
695-1291 DMG 1.80 Speed
551.8 DPS
+174 Agility
+262 Stamina
Durability 80/80
Requires level 85
Item level 378
Equip: Increases Your Hit Rating By 110
Equip: Increases Your Haste Rating By 110
Sell Price: 36g 62s 72c
Item ID: 66540

And it even looks like a miniature Christmas tree!

Commentaire de Vlad

The new event goes like this:

You fight L'abominable Grinche and he now has over 3 million health! (Note that he looks nothing like his former self "Phil Moualblé".)
You do not need to be in the same group as the one that tagged him, simply fight the boss and when he dies you can loot sacks of the stolen goods in the cave (the one right behind him, stuffed with those Christmas trees, presents and what not.) The reindeer will automatically be credited to you, you can always talk to it too if it makes you feel better.
You do not need a tank, a plate DPS can take his hits but I wouldn't solo him because of his large health pool. Still if few in numbers be nice and throw some heal or two on the one taking damage.

It's a daily, each day you do it you have a chance to loot Morceau de charbon from the rewarded Cadeau volé -good luck and Marry Christmas!

Commentaire de 13133

Blizzard proving they ain't got a clue, again. If you aren't 85 and geared, don't even bother unless you can get a mercy group willing to sit around for 30 minutes.

Maybe they should've figured out a different way of saving Metzen if the achievement's still gonna be part of the meta. I don't think I've ever been this pissed off at Blizzard before.

Commentaire de tassah

Not impressed with the level requirement. Went to get on my lvl 78 and cannot. They have made so much end-game requirements that you can't just enjoy the events regardless of level. Did this last year on a lvl 20 and had a great time with others but now most of the achievements for Winter Veil are for 80+ so that leaves alot of players out. Humbug!

Commentaire de Speshtard

Thr Abominable Greench is now a world boss with 3.4m health, using a reskin of the Northrend yetis. He also hits like a truck, sent my poor warrior flying. :c

Commentaire de 725196

Ok. Did today, fairly easy. but several 85's had come, made a raid.... disbanded because cannot do in a raid. He's a ? boss to my 85.... but everyone who was nearby (and since I participated, not sure if only proximity or need to hit him a bit also is needed, but guessing it is). But I was not in primary group. Do not forget to grab your bag near the tree.

Commentaire de Flitzy

/sigh

Another world event changed to exclude low levels with an unnecessary level restriction. :|

Commentaire de Maleren

I was able to do this quest today on my 85 hunter but none of my other toons can pick it up and I don't know why. I have 2 other high level toons, an 85 and a 70. Any ideas why I can't get the quest on them?

Commentaire de 922757

Just did the quest myself, and as long as I got in combat i didn't need to actually hit him.. I flew above all the time, while the horde(I'm ally) killed Greench.

Commentaire de 215869

Was able to to this as ret in my pvp spec for the shorter WoG cooldown. Was helped by an ele shaman and a shadow priest. Put up Seal of Light, healed myself with WoG and dps'd normally.

Commentaire de 762990

After getting killed in one fell swoop, I read a bit more about the the Greench. I was going to give up on the quest but I saw a bunch of horde level 85 grouping up in front of the boss. I stayed stealthed until they started fighting. I tried to help but wasn't getting any healing (go figure). At any rate, I stepped back when I almost died again but the group finished off the boss. I walked in after they were done and was able to pick up the Stolen Treats and complete the quest.

Commentaire de angrybum

definitely soloable as a hunter

just did it with
terrorpene turtle pet, mm spec, and ~378 ilvl

Commentaire de Takata

I have a lvl 85 Paladin but I couldn't solo this. Blizz just has to cater to only super geared people again. I've always hated Blizzard when they did stupid things like this.

Commentaire de Eclipsegirl

You dont have to be in a formal group, you just have to be there near when he is killed.

Alliance and Horde can work together. You dont have to worry about who tags the Greench.

I flew there today, the Greench had just been killed so I Just looted the bags and talked to Metzen. Quest complete.

Commentaire de Setrah

You have 5 minutes after the boss is killed to loot the presents and talk to Metzen, regardless whether you participated in killing or not.

Also, if you're a hunter with Clampant fantôme as a pet, if you get him close to Metzen, they won't hug or anything. A pity.

Commentaire de 926330

Easily solo-able as a hunter. (Level 85, Survival although i have 386 ilvl I believe it will be achievable with a much lower ilvl)

Make sure you don't over aggro your pet (I just used a bear). When he throws a snowball, run away from it around 20-30 yards or so (it will turn into the snowman). When he throws the christmas tree, again run away, he'll then jump over from where ever he was to the tree he just threw.....so you really don't want to be near that tree!

Fire in between running (always make running a priority, as soon as you see the snow/tree being thrown.....move away from it). Doesn't really take long, your health bar should barely move (I think i took around 140 dmg just before he threw the tree.....not enough to even blink at tbh). And if all else fails? Feign death and try again! Good luck guys.

Got to love jealous people who downrate your comment just because they can't solo it!

Commentaire de 857739

The Greench is located in Hillsbrad Foothills at 43.6, 41.6. Outside a cave next to the ruins of Alterac.

He has 3,435,680 Health.
Abilities are as follows:

Broiement abominable - Inflicts 97500 to 102500 Physical damage and knocks enemies into the air. And has a 1 Second Cast time.

Enchaînement - Cleave Which Inflicts 110% of normal melee damage to an enemy and its nearest allies, affecting up to 3 targets.

Cœur rapetissé - Shrink Heart, Deals periodic damage and slows the attack and casting speeds of nearby enemies. Movement breaks the effect.

Can be done by 2 - 3 DPS no problem! Tank and healer is not needed at all.

Alternatively you can wait around for someone else to kill him and you will get the credit for free'ing Metzen yourself if you stand around.

After the quest is all said and done head your way back to Ironforge and hand in!

You will recieve 8G 27S at level 85 and a Cadeau volé.

Cadeau volé can contain various items including:

Arbre du Voile d'hiver miniature

Morceau de charbon

Rob-fusée mécanique bleu

Train miniature

You can also receive Rob-fusée mécanique which when learned will award you with Rob-fusée mécanique.

According to Blizzard you can obtain ANY item from previous years. The Clockwork rocket bot is the only one known for the Feat of Strength.

Commentaire de Nekrotik

Dropped in and got the quest from the snowman right after someone just killed the boss. Looted the stolen goods and got a "freed Metzen" notification without doing anything at all. So if you can't solo him and don't have a group, just let someone else kill him for you. Apparently, you don't even have to be there when he dies, just loot while he's dead.

Commentaire de 822061

Daily solo.

Commentaire de slidecat9999

The snowman is there, between the trees, with the quest for you. Especially good if you fly all the way out there without picking up the quest in ironforge.

Commentaire de 875971

If u are a melee-class and u want a challenge, try to solo this.

His main damaging abilities are:

1.) Melee swing wich can be resisted or avoided with sufficiant armor/dodge/parry. (13k)
2.) AOE Ice damage wich can be avoided (20-30k)
3.) Abomnible Crush wich can be avoided (80-100k)

* He will use 'Shrink Heart' on u as a debuff, move to end it.
* When he trows a Snowman, keep moving away from the Snowman to avoid the AOE damage.
* The worst is his 'Abomnible Crush'. He will first trow a tree, then jump on it and fling u in the air. Keep moving to avoid it and keep ur eye on the location of the tree. If going backwards is too slow, strafe or run ahead.

I used the open place in front of his cave to backtrack in a circle, passing the mountains and the cave periodicly. Got hit once by 'Abomnible Crush', but managed to heal up. I did it as a Blood DK in dps gear, but looking at the mechanics it should be doable by more classes.

Good luck with this and happy hunting!

Commentaire de AveryZan

Recover the Stolen Treats and free Metzen the Reindeer after defeating the Abominable Greench, who is hiding out near Growless Cave in the Hillsbrad Foothills. ■
Metzen the Reindeer slain
Stolen Treats

Assume thats just a glitch but that would be pretty twisted if you really had to kill Metzen the Reindeer.

Commentaire de FixManTx

Did this just now on my level 87 Draenei Death Knight in level 25 guild. The Greench was not present so all I had to do was loot a stolen present, talk to Metzen and tell him he's free and done. Received 106,700 XP plus 275 rep each with Ratchet, Booty Bay, Everlook and Gadgetzan.

Commentaire de Tomathion

Careful if you're on a high populated PvP server. The opposite faction WILL gank you. There was a group of 20 not even doing the quest, just killing any lone players. They should really turn PvP off around the cave.

Commentaire de Notaturnip

Completing this quest did NOT affect my Bloodsail reputation - for those of you that were worried (I am currently revered).

Commentaire de Duxjan

Anyone got a nice idea how to get to our "chap" The Abominable Greench more convenient as an tiny Dwarf?

Sure I know how and where I can plant a Hearthstone, but it is kinda 'dumb' a Horde can use his/her's cloak to get back to the quest giver, but if we use our cloak we'll end up in the wrong City for crying out loud!

Where all your buddies already are having a drink with The Man!, only thing you can do is take a ride on your loyal friend and ride the freakin' trip to the place you wanted to leave when you started this character in the first place to meet our amazing Alliance Smurf.

Yep I really think I need a: One for the Road.

Thanks for taking time reading my question while sitting in IF with your friends already. Cheers!

Commentaire de centurio

You can make this daily a quick trip by finding a mage with Ancien tome de portail : Dalaran. The portal they will open for you drops you in mid-air (so bring your slow-fall spells/trinkets/etc.) over the old Dalaran Crater right next to the Greench daily quest area. (Make sure the portal they use is Ancient Dalaran, not the regular Dalaran!)

If you set your Hearthstone to Ironforge before you leave, the entire travel time for the daily is minimal.

Commentaire de WokkaD

This is now VERY easy.
If there's NO Greench, or he's dead, just talk to Metzen the Reindeer to free him :)
Then go and get a stolen present.
I've turned up and assisted the kill and when the Greench's corpse is present and received completion of freeing Metzen.
Also turned up when the Greench was NOT present, talked to Metzen and received the "Free Metzen" part :)
But, if Metzen's not around, then you have to wait for and kill the Greench. Maybe I was just lucky.

Commentaire de Whatvoidzone

Ancienne téléportation : Dalaran makes this quest a breeze for mages

Edit: You can also be a bro and acquire Ancien portail : Dalaran

Commentaire de 472525

If you're in a PVP realm and you can't loot the item, an easy way to do this is to join a PVE realm. Either join a friends realm or find one in the premade finder and join it. :)

Commentaire de Whoisthiscook

Those who completed the Scholomance Challenge Mode on Gold in MoP can use Path of the Necromancer to get to the Greench in no time!

Commentaire de Posh

For those who have tons of characters level 80+ like myself. You may end up doing the quest multiple times, forgetting which ones have or have not done the quest.

So for people like me, and if you have Horde and Alliance characters here are both scripts.

Alliance:
/run for k, v in pairs({ Greench = 7043}) do print(format("%s: %s", k, IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(v) and "\124cffffff00Yes on Alliance\124r" or "\124cffff0000No on Alliance\124r")) end

Horde:
/run for k, v in pairs({ Greench = 6983}) do print(format("%s: %s", k, IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(v) and "\124cff00ff00Yes for Horde\124r" or "\124cffff0000No for Horde\124r")) end

Commentaire de Boxofbeer

Nothing changed since last year. Kill, loot, success.
You're a Mean One... https://youtu.be/m_SXBl7Sno0

Commentaire de Eillesthis

For some reason, this quest is still handing out the old 2014-15 Cadeau volé instead of the new 2015-16 Cadeau volé. Perhaps they'll fix it soon?

Edit: At this point it seems pretty clear they've modified the old one instead of rewarding the new one. Lounge Cushions can now be found in the old one, while last year they came from Cadeau secoué doucement. Oddly, they did use a new Cadeau secoué doucement item for the first time, while this present, which has historically been new every year, was recycled.

Commentaire de 1354175

Is there a minimum character level for this? I am level 60 on this toon and can not seem to find the quest giver in IF and the snowman does not give it to me either. I was hoping to get the daggers for when I boost with the xpac purchase, but maybe not.

Commentaire de irishlord

This is way different from other years. First of all I DIED. I am not a tank , i didnt hit first, i just died. He comes out and lowers your health with a yell and i wish I knew what hit me after that. So be warned and just stay back. The graveyard is a 3 to 5 min walk. Felt like forever...
Second there use to be snowballs here, and the snow was white. No balls and brown snow.
They also moved him to in front of the cave.
The one thing that hasnt changed is the fact that the presents take forever to click with everyone there. The time ran out and they vanished on one toon.
To get to IF without a mage> garrison hearth, go to your tower by the mine to Stormshield> IF portal by bank. Hang out until your garrison hearth is ready again.

Commentaire de GDerkon

As said before on hunting rares... If youre having issues doing this quest, because lets says Alliance or Horde is camping or youre just the one trying the do the quest at 4am...

Go to the Premade group finder, type Grumpus, Grump.. or something like that and youll surely find someone else trying to finish their quest. Cake.

I hope this helps!

Happy Feast of Winter Veil folks!

Commentaire de geekygirlish

There is a strange glitch which happened to me to avoid. I got there and for some reason it was phased out and I went in the cave thinking Greech was there. Big mistake. The tree phased in and I couldn't get out! So I was stuck in the cave with the other end of the tree in it. HS was on cd so had to use stuck and got portaled back to garrison to start over. When I got back the tree was in the cave entrance as it should be and I did quest. Just a warning if it happens to you.

Commentaire de mosstone

Well. I just went on my long forgotten and undergeared paladin to check something, and found this quest. Several weeks after the event ended.

Commentaire de irishlord

if you DIE this will be your most hated quest ever. The graveyard is a 5 min walk and by the time you get back the deer will be gone. If the boss hates you , you will die.

Commentaire de Nighteyez07

For Legion it's easiest to get there by taking the Portal to Dalaran Crater in Aegwynn's Gallery. Make sure you've got a Goblin Glider with you as you spawn way up in the air!

Commentaire de Noiradex

If you really needed one of those toys or illusions you could just do the following:

-Create a Dwarven Mage via class trial

-As soon as you log in use Téléportation : Forgefer and pick up La méchanceté vous habite...

-Fly to Hillsbrad Foothills and complete the quest.

-Use Téléportation : Forgefer once again and turn in the Quest (Don't forget to turn in Un grand merci des Gourmandises Fumebois ! aswell.)

-After that just delete the character and do steps 1-4 again.

Commentaire de Kimaell

Go to Broken Isles Dalaran, in the middle (the portal room) there is a portal to dalaran crater, take a glider with you as it spawns you mid air and you will fall to your death. but that's the quickest way.
You can thank me by upvoting me ;)

Commentaire de druunah

As already posted here: The fasted way of getting to the Greench as of this writing is to use the portal to the Dalaran crater.

However:

What confused me was WHERE to find that portal!

Everyone said to use "the portal room"

Me in my boneheaded-ness looked in "the portal room" that has the portals to all the major cities (Stormwind, Ironforge, etc...)

Wrong room!

I forgot. There are TWO portal rooms located in the Legion / Broken Isles Dalaran.

To get to the portal that will take you to the Dalaran crater go to the Chamber of the Guardian. (Look at your map, it is located right in the center of Dalaran)

Go inside, and step on the blue circle and you will be transported to the upper floor where you will see a hall leading downwards like a ramp. Follow it all the way down to the end where you will see five portals leading to (From right to left) "Caverns of Time Shattrath, Wyrmrest Temple, Dalaran Crater and Karazhan.

*Side note*

YOU MAY NEED a goblin glider or something similar to stop your fall on the other side or you might die from the fall. If you can not levitate or slow fall like a priest or mage, you may plummet to your death. (One of my clothies did die, early in the event another toon got the achievement "Going down?" On descend ?/going-down

You should see a warning sign in front of the Dalaran Crater Portal that says "WARNING: Drop"

*Edit* My thanks to Dle0105 as well as Hollyberries for their very valid and useful input below in the replies.

CONFIRMED:

Upon testing, my various alts (Plate, mail, leather and clothies) none have thus far died again from the fall when they were at full health using the portal described above They also took NO durability damage to their armor in the fall. (Hot fix?)

Once you (hopefully) land safely, it is a short flight to the Greench.

Commentaire de likwidd

I've had some guildies not know about the various org teleport cloaks. If you don't have them, I'd highly recommend grabbing them, as this makes this quest go by extremely quickly.

All you have to do is:
1) pop one cloak to go to org and pick up the quest
2) use your new dalaran hearth and take the dal crater portal
3) complete quest
4) pop a second cloak to turn in
5) if you're really in a hurry you can pop the third cloak to bring you directly to the new dal portal

Hope that helps :) You can also use a glider after taking the dal crater portal to speed it up a little more if need be :)

Commentaire de Natsuyo

This years winter veil I've done this for 8 days on 16 chars and used 20 level 100 trial toons aswell (weekly cap seems to be 20 for these) in attempt to get Flames of Ragnaros.
No luck. During 10 year anniversary I did 60+ Molten Core runs for this. RNG hates me

148 Daily gifts, 36 annual gifts. No flames of ragnaros. Pretty much got everything else that you can get from the box multiple times ^^

Commentaire de Haqin

For Rogues that have Parchemin de téléportation : Ravenholdt, it suddenly becomes really useful this time of year!

Commentaire de Eillesthis

In 2017 this still rewards Cadeau volé.

Commentaire de Gwiez

Metzen hangs around for 2 minutes after the Greench is killed. If anyone chats him, and you're on the quest, you get credit.
The bags hang around for 5 minutes after the Greench is killed. You have time to wait to minimize the chance of horde ganking you.
The Greench respawns 5:30 after it was last killed.

Commentaire de lycanthropic

This is how you farm Cadeau sauvage and Cadeau volé efficiently on multiple toons. Characters must be level 100 or higher and have a level 3 garrison.

Park all of your eligible toons in their garrisons.

Make sure you're hearthed in either Ironforge if you're Alliance and Orgrimmar if you're Horde or in your faction's Shrine in Pandaria.

Start each day by picking up the 4 Winter Veil dailies in your garrison

Grognus
La menace ronchonus
Quels cadeaux horribles !
Où sont nos enfants ?

from Zézette if you are Horde or Almie if you are Alliance

It's about a 5 minute flight to Grognus (Frostfire Ridge 45, 28) from the Alliance garrison. If it's your first time there make sure and pick up the Bloodmaul Slag Mines flight path at 51, 21 to make the later runs a bit less monotonous. For Horde it takes about a minute to fly there from your garrison.

Complete the 4 dailies.

It will usually take about 5 minutes to do all 4 quests, depending on the player traffic. *NOTE* - As of 5am maintenance on 12/19/2017 everything here scales with you so no one shotting the mobs any more, and the trash that dropped from them seems to either not drop for 110's or the rate is so low it doesn't even register.

Use your Pierre de foyer de Dalaran . Take the Dalaran Crater portal (make sure you're prepared against the fall with Kit de planeur gobelin or any toy/buff/spell/etc that slows falling or negates damage).

Fly to Growless Cave (Hillsbrad Foothills 44, 39).

Pick up La méchanceté vous habite... or La méchanceté vous habite... from Etrange bonhomme de neige

You don't need to even tag the Greench just hang around until he's dead then talk to Metzen le Renne and grab a Friandises volées

Use your Pierre de foyer to return to either Org/ IF or your Shrine then portal to Org/ IF. Turn in La méchanceté vous habite... or La méchanceté vous habite... for a Cadeau volé

Use your Pierre de foyer de fief Turn in the 4 Winter Veil dailies to
Izzy Sacréplouf for 5 Fournitures joviales which will buy you a Cadeau sauvage from this same NPC.

Rinse and repeat on your alts. Takes under 15 minutes each if you don't have ADHD like me.

Good luck farming and Happy Winter Veil =)

As of Battle for Azeroth the quest gave Cadeau volé and Expérience de personnage-joueur on my level 90 character and Cadeau volé on my characters that were level 100 and above. This means the break of point between the desirable Cadeau volé and the not so desirable Cadeau volé is somewhere between level 91-100, probably level 100.

Commentaire de Sarthorius

With 8.1 changes to the shrines' portals, and if you're after the other faction old toys, AND you have lowbies to try too. Ask for some mage to get you a portal to the Broken Isles Dalaran, and set hearthstone there. This way you'll have a fast travel to Hillsbrad Foothills (from the chamber of the guardian area in the middle, you no longer die from the fall but you'll take a lot of damage though if you don't use any slow fall mechanisms) and to Ironforge.

Just do these steps on every toon available for the daily untill you get what you want:

Make sure they are previously on Broken Isles' Dalaran.
Go to Hillsbrad, grab daily there, do it.
Hearth back to Broken Isles' Dalaran, then head to Ironforge portal, to turn in the quest.
Get the toy you want. If not, rinse from another character.

If the alliance has control over Arathi Highlands, use the portal in Boralus by the Warfront table

Commentaire de thadjosh76

What is the fastest way to get there for both my Horde/ Alliance toons?

Commentaire de Malacewow

In shadowlands this rewards Cadeau volé on level 50 characters. Not sure if this is intended as I am still able to get a Cadeau volé from the BFA mission table.

9.0 Shadowlands: For alliance, if you go to the dock at the stern of the ship with the mission table in Boralus, there is a portal to both Darkshore and more importantly, to Arathi Highlands which is very close to the Greench.

Commentaire de ifloops

If the warfront portal in Boralus isn't active, the fastest way seems to be just flying straight from Ironforge. You can fly directly to it - you'll make it through the fatigue water.

Commentaire de DaemoniKira

This quest is the newer/updated version of Metzen le renne, which used to be needed for the Joyeuses fêtes ! meta-achievement; now, this one (La méchanceté vous habite.../La méchanceté vous habite...) is required.

Commentaire de Eillesthis

In 2021 the Cadeau volé can now contain Couronne-boomerang and Cage à compagnon agitée, which last year came from Cadeau secoué doucement and Cadeau du Voile d'hiver under the tree.

Commentaire de SirZooro

Note: this tutorial is for Alliance version of the quest. Horde version is here.

Alliance players can get to the quest location in following ways:

Fly directly from Ironforge. This is slow and you risk dismounting near Arathi Highlands, so I usually avoid this option.
Direct portal from Legion Dalaran to old Dalaran location in Hillsbrad Foothills was very handy in 7.x, but starting from 8.0 it is open only if you are on relevant quest. Use it if you can access it, just make sure you use some kind of slow fall, as you will appear in the midair.
Mages can use Ancient Teleport: Dalaran or Ancient Portal: Dalaran to get to old Dalaran location too. Also remember to use some slowfall, or use teleport when on flying mount.
When Alliance controls Arathi Highlands, you can use portal in Boralus to get there. You need to have completed BfA intro quests up to Une nation divisée to see it.
If you completed Stratholme pet dungeon, Manapoof can teleport you to its entrance in Eastern Plagueland. Its similar distance as from Ironforge, but you do not risk dismounting during flight.
Closest Hearthstone location is at Wildhammer Keep in Hinterlands (at Aerie Peak). I recommend going there when you complete this quest for the first time and set your HS, so you could get there faster next time.
TomTom: /way The Hinterlands 14.15 44.75 Wildhammer Keep
Dark Iron Dwarves can use their mole machine to get to Aerie Peek, but personally I recommend to use it for trip back to Ironforge.
Druids can use the Dreamway to Hinterlands (thanks Flanell for hint). Portal leads to east side of Hinterlands, Seradane.

Also remember that you can get this quest from Etrange bonhomme de neige in Hillsbrad Foothills, so you do not have to start from Ironforge.

You can return to the Ironforge in following ways:

Fly directly to Ironforge - slow and you risk dismounting.
Mages can use portal or teleport to Ironforge. If you are not a mage you can ask everyone for portal after the battle, some friendly mage player may open one for you.
You can set your Hearthstone to The Stonefire Tavern in Ironforge if you want.
Teleport yourself to Stormwind, then use portal to Boralus, and from there use portal to Ironforge. You can get to SW using guild cloaks (Cloak of Coordination, Wrap of Unity, Shroud of Cooperation). You can also use your HS to get to some main city (e.g. Valdrakken) and use Stormwind portal there. Also remember about Dalaran Hearthstone and Garrison Hearthstone if you unlocked them.
Dark Iron Dwarves can use their mole machine to get to IronForge - it will emerge close to the city gate.
Druids can use the Dreamway to Duskwood, then fly from there to Stormwind and use portals as described above.

Merry Christmas to Everyone!

Don't know if it is a bug but in 2022 the first day the present is green for max lvl too...

Commentaire de braneman

If you're doing this on a leveling character in chromie time it's best to turn that off in SW so you leave the specific chromie time instance. There are a lot more people doing this outside of chromie time than inside of it.

Commentaire de chrisweston

One of the side benefits of this quest for those doing rep farming is that the follow on quest (talking to Greatfather Winter) gives
250 rep with Everlook
250 rep with Ratchet
250 rep with Booty Bay
250 rep with Gadgetzan
which for a 10 minute quest is easy pickings!

It doesn't say anywhere but I think this is a once per character quest even though the precursor quest is daily.

Commentaire de Taraezor

As I do with World Events... I've made an AddOn, which I uploaded to Curse, and it gives a ton of information about completing this World Event.

If you do care to download then I hope that you found it useful. Players unfamiliar with the layout of opposing capital cities will especially like my BB King information

Nobody is doing this event :( Zero groups in premade finder. RIP.

Commentaire de gypsycaine

Been running this on both faction characters. On the last of my non-mage characters, I suddenly realized I didn't have to keep taking the damned tram back to IF; I could cut through Boralis and use the IF portal there if I use my Dalaran hearthstone.

Facepalms.

Still have to go to Chillwind Point, but at least getting back is easier now.

Fastest way to hillsbrad foothills. use the pet battle teleport to stratholme and just a short flight down.

Commentaire de emaredubya

Anyone else having issues seeing the quest NPC in orgrimmar with certain toons ? I can complete the quests on almost all characters, but when completing on mage for whatever reason the NPC or the vendor arent there in Orgrimmar. I've tried relogging, /reload, everything and he just wont spawn in for me. any help ?
