A pleasant surprise awaited Azeroth on the day of Winter Veil. I half expected nothing more to happen this year besides the one new quest. But to my surprise there were new presents for everyone under the tree in front of the Ironforge bank. Everyone over level forty was allowed to take five gifts so between my three Alliance alts I had a total of fourteen gifts! Oh and Cornpo the Night Elf Druid gave me the schematic for the SnowMaster 9000.
Many of the elite encounters have been dropping special items including red and green Winter Veil hats. Some of them have even been dressed for the occasion but I was very surprised when we summoned Ragnaros and instead were greeted by a giant snowman! How he stays so frosty in the core I will never know. Still no Legplates of Wrath for Hogit but I did get the second drop of Bracelets of Wrath from Razrogore, my first Wrath piece!

Have you every tried out the snowmaster? It says it takes a day just to make another one….
Use the snowball wisely, I guess.

Yeah the cooldown is 24 hours. You can build up a fairly large stack during the year but they do go fast in the rare summer snowball fight.

Is it true that you can buy pets (or somthin, i got this off of blizz forums) with snowballs?

There were four different non combat pets given away as gifts: a red and green helper, a mini snowman, and a mini reindeer.
To activate the pet (bring it out) it consumes a snowball. But you dont actually buy them with snowballs. That’s probably what you read on the forums.
