World of Warcraft Winter Veil Achievement - Merry Maker Guide!
Ho..Ho..Ho..It's the Feast of Winter veil in the World of Warcraft. If I had to make a confession, I'd say that I'm more excited about opening my gift under the tree in Ironforge than I am under my own tree.
There are quite a few achievements for the Feast of Winter Veil (11 to be exact) and you'll notice the crashin' thrashin' racers are not on the list for the Merry Maker achievement, which makes me sad. I had a ton of fun with those little racers. You will of course see them as those who got them in years past will surely be bringing them out.
There are some very easy to get achievements and some hard to get achievements, but don't fret. If you do not get them all this year...there is always next year!
Tips and Tricks are included under notes, and if the achievement requires a level, that's been added too.
Winter Veil runs until Jan 2nd, so you have plenty of time to get out there and have some WOW fun.
Merry Winter Veil!!
PS. You have to laugh at the Bros before Ho Ho Ho Quest title.

Level Required Level 70 AND a Flying Mount AND SkyGuard Rep
The Quest, It's a Daily and is only available if you have completed the Bombing Run Quest Bomb them Again!
We're still having problems with those flak cannons
Don't get me wrong -- I think that you did an outstanding job the last time out -- but, that doesn't change the fact that those damned demons seem to be replenishing their ammo supplies faster than we can knock them out. And that means we're having a hell of a time getting our people through there, not to mention the risk those demons pose to Ogri'la.
What do you say? Want to take another shot at it?
The Reward
Reputation: Sha'tari Skyguard +500 and Ogri'la +500
15 Apexis Shards

Notes
