• [Green Winter Hat] - Mage-Lord Urom (The Oculus)
  

The last part of the achievement is the [Graccu's Mince Meat Fruitcake] is contained in [Smokywood Pastures Extra-Special Gift] and [Smokywood Pastures Sampler], they will be mailed to you after freeing Metzen (see the first achievement) or completing Treats for Greatfather Winter.

When you're done laughing at the name of the achievement, you can check the small guides in Wowhead comments for both faction:

• Horde
• Alliance

Alliance players have to talk to a lot more people, but Horde players have to go through Northrend (and eventually end up in Icecrown, it might be a problem for players below level 77). The hardest part of the achievement might be getting the [Mistletoe], to obtain it just type /kiss while targeting a Winter Reveler.

He Knows If You've Been Naughty
Open one of the presents underneath the Winter Veil tree once they are available. You only need to open ONE present and not all of them, it's basically another free achievement. The presents are only available from December 25th to January 2nd and you'll have to wait a few days before you can complete this one.

With a Little Helper from My Friends
Earn 50 honorable kills as a Little Helper from the Winter Wondervolt machine. The machines are outside Orgrimmar / Ironforge, just step into it to get a 30 minutes transformation buff and enter your favorite battleground to kill a few people!

Depending on your character, this might be the hardest achievement. It requires you to cook Gingerbread Cookie Egg Nog and Hot Apple Cider. The patterns are all available from the NPC, there are only two small problems:

• You will need [Small Egg] for two of these recipes, and will probably have to run to a low level zone to farm them along with 30 other players. (Buying them at 50G/stack at the AH is also an option)

Fall of The Lich King

This new trailer had just been added.

3.3 is Coming

So tonight patch 3.3 is going live. What should we expected? First of all the lag should be like any other patch day, which make you unplayable. Your UI gonna be broken until someone kind enough to updated it. Then AH should be filled with insane amount of highly then normal item priceses.

If you can live with that, go check out the cool new LFG mechanics, don't forget to choose "Random" and hope you get the new pet dog :). Check the new quest tracking mode also which will help you finish off the achievements just like me.

Just to remind you guys that, there will be 3 new 5 man dungeon The Forge of Souls, Pit of Saron, Halls of Reflection which you need to clear one by one in order to progressed. Here's a quick video of the fights you will be facing and the loots too.

The Forge of Souls
It's portal is located on the left side of portal room portal, inside the secured area of Icecrown Citadel. No attunement is required, but completing the instance is required to gain entrance to the Pit of Saron. There only 2 bosses inside which are:
Bronjahm

The Loots

Devourer of Souls

The Loots

Pit of Saron
This is the second wing of the dungeon complex known as the Frozen Halls. The Forge of Souls must be completed before a player can access the Pit of Saron. 3 bosses awaits.
Forgemaster Garfrost
A master of Scourge weaponry, the forgemaster hauls stocks of saronite ore and other precious materials to the cold forges where the mechanisms of death are born. With a host of rime weapons and exotic alloys at his disposal, it could get cold in here.


Ick & Krick
Zombies serve as mindless muscle in the Pit of Saron's mines, stockpiling metals for Forgemaster Garfrost, and Krick a devious leper gnome supervises the operations from atop Ick, Krick's ghastly means of transportation.


Scourgelord Tyrannus
Tyrannus is a terrible force who will no doubt demonstrate his powers to those brave enough to enter the Pit of Saron. The scourgelord must die if players hope to make their way into the third and final wing of this dungeon.


Halls of Reflection
The third and last wing of the dungeon complex known as the Frozen Halls. The Forge of Souls and Pit of Saron must be completed before a player can enter the Halls of Reflection.
Falric & Marwyn
Captains for Arthas Menethil in life, Scourge commanders for the Lich King in death, Falric and Marwyn will be summoned to the Halls of Reflection for one purpose: destroying all intruders.


Wrath of the Lich King
Sylvanas, thirsty for vengeance against the corrupted prince who sentenced her to an existence as an undead monstrosity, and Jaina, eager to find a flicker of Arthas's soul locked somewhere within the Lich King, have brought their hand-picked allies to this final confrontation. Arthas's true power may only now be discovered. Is there any hope in this mission, or does only death await?


Anyway happy WOWing peoples. Gnight
