Day of the Dead

The Day of the Dead (1st – 3rd of November) brings the Macabre Marionette to life as part of my Christoph VonFeasel Elekk strategy.

Before you start, take one Ice Cold Milk and one Simple Flour for the Bread of the Dead requirement. The recipe itself may be purchased from Chapman – one of the NPCs in your racial’s Capital City graveyard. The Ghostly Cooking Fire (located around Catrina) can be used to make the bread but note it’s a conjured item so it can’t be sent to your other characters.

In order to see the quest NPC, you’ll need to purchase some Orange Marigold or the Bouquet of Orange Marigolds from Chapman as well. The buff only lasts 30secs so look for the Cheerful Spirit standing in the graveyard (for Blood Elves, to the right of the above NPCs) offering the following quest – The Grateful Dead.

For Taurens, go to 56, 18 at the base of Thunder Bluff.

Completing the quest rewards this dancing pet. It’s uncommon when learnt and cageable so expect to see some in the AH.

Achievements

To The Afterlife – Defeat a contender while wearing a contender’s outfit purchased during Day of the Dead.
Vientos! – Defeat 20 contenders while wearing a contender’s outfit purchased during Day of the Dead.
Calavera – Defeat 50 contenders while wearing a contender’s outfit purchased during Day of the Dead.

Even though the costumes are unique to the event, the achievements can be completed all year round.
