is now over for 2012, but there's another in-game holiday today:
Tag der Toten
. If you're missing Halloween though, check out Blizzard's
2012 Pumpkin Carving Contest winners
! In addition to seasonal favorites like the Headless Horseman, the winners this year brought Halloween to Pandaria, with creations like the Sha of Anger and Pandaren.
On a more serious note, Blizzard added an update about
Stampede
to yesterday's
PvP Dev Watercooler
, and
<Method>
has an interview over at
WoW Insider
today about the World First progression race--which continues this month with
Das Herz der Angst
and
Terrasse des Endlosen Frühlings
. We'll be covering their progression kills again, once the race gets started! All of their heroic kills of
Mogu'shangewölbe
are available on their
YouTube channel
.
This week also marks the start of some other things around Azeroth:
It's a new month for our

Winter begins in Azeroth today
: our friends at Warcraft Pets have reported that the wild battle pet
Schneeeule
is now available in Winterspring.

Day of the Dead Guide: November 1st
Tag der Toten
is today in Azeroth--it only lasts one day and serves as an awesome minor holiday, similar to
Piratentag
, to close out Hallow's End. We've whipped up a small guide so you can know the quests and achievement for the event; make sure you don't skip out if you're an achievement hunter, as it boasts one achievement that can't be obtained any other day of the year!
Getting Started
Tip: Get some
Herkömmliches Mehl
and
Eiskalte Milch
(at least 1 of each) before heading to a
graveyard
. This will save you traveling time when doing the quest below.
To take part in the events festivities, you must first locate
Catrina
, an undead female (and a reference to
La Calavera Catrina
), who can be found near the
graveyard
of any capital city. She will give you some information regarding the holiday itself, and it is most important that you remember to /dance with her--upon doing so, you will earn the only achievement for this holiday,
Des toten Manns Party
. You will also gain the buff
Ehrt die Toten
, which will change you into either Catrina or her male counterpart, Chapman, for twelve hours.
Quests
The only quest available during the event is
The Grateful Dead
, and this quest can only be completed once. The quest will only be available at
your race's home city
unless you have access to
Shattrath
or
Dalaran
where the quest can be completed by any race/faction, including Pandaren. So taurens complete the quest for
Donnerfels
, Orcs for
Orgrimmar
, and so on.
In order to obtain this quest, you must first purchase either an
Orangefarbene Ringelblumen
or a
Orangefarbenes Ringelblumenbouquet
from
Chapman
, the vendor located near Catrina at any city graveyard. The difference between the two items is that one is a single-use consumed item that will only last the duration of the event while the other is a re-usable permanent offhand, though its use will only function during the event as well (similar to
Nobelgartenfest
's
Eierkorb
).
Use the flower at any city graveyard to allow your character to see the cheerful spirit remaining there. The spirit will offer you the quest, The Grateful Dead, requesting that you bring the spirit an offering of food--in this case,
Totenspeise
(or
Pan de Muerto
). The
Totenspeise
recipe requires 1 Cooking skill to learn, and the recipe can be purchased from the graveyard vendor Chapman. Simply whip up a batch of tasty bread and bring it to the cheerful spirit.
You will be rewarded with a temporary pet, the
Makabre Marionette
--an awesome skeleton pet wearing a sombrero and wielding maracas! However, for some completely absurd reason, this pet can only be used during the Day of the Dead event; it cannot be learned and kept like other companion pets--meaning it's a pet that only lasts two days. This renders the Marionette almost entirely useless, which is a shame as it's a very cute pet and formerly was included in the battle pet journal on beta.
Special Items
There are a few other unique items that can be obtained during this holiday, though none are permanent. In addition to selling the flowers required for the Grateful Dead quest (
Orangefarbene Ringelblumen
and
Orangefarbenes Ringelblumenbouquet
) and the
Rezept: Totenspeise
, Chapman also sells the following seasonal faire:
Zuckerschädel
- - It's seasonal candy for eating.
Seelenkerze
- - This candle, when placed on the ground, offers a 4 Spirit buff to anyone in the area around it, similar to a
Kochfeuerstelle
.
Skurrile Totenkopfmaske
- - This exotic mask resembles a traditional Day of the Dead skull motif.
Be sure to take a tour of the various faction graveyards while using
Orangefarbene Ringelblumen
: each has different NPCs dancing around the graves, which have unique holiday decorations. The Stormwind graveyard is especially notable for its numerous decorations.
