You can recieve this quest during the Day of the Dead annual holiday (Nov 1 - Nov 2) at your Races main cities Graveyard.

requires you to give the dead spirit a Bread of the Dead, made by Recipe: Bread of the Dead.

Reward is a Pet skeleton wearing a sombrero wielding maracas'. quite an awesome pet if u ask me, but it only lasts for during the the Holiday only!

It appears that if you've done this quest last year you cannot do it again this year.

Two interesting things. Being dead at the graveyard does not allow you to see the dead spirits including the quest giver, you can only see it with the orange marigold. Also, the orange marigold does not allow you to see the spirit of that dwarf quest giver in Blackrock Mountain that you need to be dead to see. I was expecting both things to work (see Day of the Dead quest giver while dead, and seeing BRM quest giver using the marigold).

To help those who may not get it... you have to go to your racial specific city. Sooo... Humans -> Stormwind, Tauren -> Thunderbluff, Draenai -> Exodar and so on. Not sure about Worgen and Goblins though. But you get the idea.

Only humans can do this specific version of the quest. You can do it whether or not you've done the quest in previous years, but you must go to your race's capital city to have access to the quest.

Some insight about the Grateful Dead:

Grateful Dead in Folklore:

Grateful dead (or grateful ghost) is a folktale present in many cultures throughout the world. The most common story involves a traveler who encounters a corpse of someone who never received a proper burial, typically stemming from an unpaid debt. The traveler then either pays off the dead person's debt or pays for burial. The traveler is later rewarded or has their life saved by a person or animal who is actually the soul of the dead person; the grateful dead is a form of the donor.

Grateful Dead in Music:

Grateful Dead was an American rock band formed in 1965 in Palo Alto, California.The band was known for its unique and eclectic style, which fused elements of rock, folk, bluegrass, blues, reggae, country, improvisational jazz, psychedelia, and space rock, and for live performances of long musical improvisation.

You first have to put an Orange Marigold at the graves near the Vendors. Then the NPCs will spawn. If you have one Bread of the Dead for their quest, they will give you a Macabre Marionette. If you are curious about the situation of the pandaren, I got mine in Dalaran, just placed an Orange Marigold and the Ghost appeared.

Ok, so one additional detail. Besides the fact that you will find the npc in your base town, you also need to purchase from Chapman (Chapman) so that you can see the spirit which gives the quest.

As a Worgen, you still cannot see the Cheerful Human Spirit in Stormwind even if you take on your Human form. You'll only see the spirit in Darnassus. The Cheerful Worgen Spirit will appear as a quest giver there once you use the Marigolds.

For Humans in Stormwind, the NPC for the turn in is not outside of Stormwind like the map will indicate. The npc for the turn in is located to the right of the Day of the Dead vendor in the graveyard ... (46.66 29.09).

You still need to use the Orange Marigold to turn in the quest.

Every race in the game can do this quest in Broken Isles Dalaran. I discovered this once I realized that the new Allied Races could not pick it up in Orgrimmar or Stormwind. Hitch a ride from your fellow mage if you're below level 98 (remember you can only tip those on your realm) and head to Legion Dalaran. The quest is in the graveyard near the sewer entrance behind Simply Enchanting. You can buy Simple Flour in Dalaran, but you'll have to get Ice Cold Milk from a lower level city or vendor. I ended up buying stacks of milk in Ironforge and mailing them to my alts. The bread cannot be mailed, sold, or traded because it is a limited duration item, so even though the quest is able to be accepted at level 1, your character will have to be level 5+ in order to pick up cooking and do the quest. You must physically be in front of the Ghostly Cooking Fire near Catrina, Chapman, and the Cheerful Dalaran Spirit to cook the bread. This prevents anyone from cooking it outside of the holiday.

Use an Orange Marigold to see the otherwise invisible spirit.

	Bread of the Dead (1)

Description

It's good to visit with friends and family again, though I may have overdone it... I've already eaten everything they made for me!

Might I trouble you for some more of that delicious Bread of the Dead? I'd be most grateful...

Chapman there sells the recipe, I think.
