In World of Warcraft, there is now a present for you. But hurry, because the Winter Veil Tree will only be around for a few more days.
While the whole world celebrates Christmas, the Winter Veil festival takes place in World of Warcraft. Here, too, there are new gifts every year, but you have to remember to claim them. In typical American tradition, the gifts can only be opened on December 25th – and that’s also the case for the Winter Veil festival in Azeroth.
As every year, there is a brand new gift, just like this year – in fact, there are even two gifts.
What are these gifts? Among all the gifts under the Winter Veil Tree, you will also find the two new gifts for 2023:
- Winter Veil Socks: A toy. For two minutes, you leave small snowflakes while walking, and occasionally even small snow piles. 10-minute cooldown.
- Junior Timekeeper’s Racing Belt: For one minute, you leave large rings while walking or flying, through which other players can fly. These are visually the same rings you find in dragonriding. This way, you can create your own dragonriding races – or simply guide your friends if they get lost again.
Where can I find the gift? That depends on your chosen faction.
- Members of the Alliance travel to Ironforge and the auction house. Here sits Old Father Winter, and there stands the great Winter Veil Tree with the gifts.
- Supporters of the Horde travel to Orgrimmar. Right in front of the building of the former Warchief in the main square, you will find the tree with the colorful packages.
Until when is it available? The Winter Veil festival ends in World of Warcraft on the morning of January 2nd – so you should have picked up your gifts by New Year’s Day at the latest (01.01.2024), otherwise, you will miss them for this year.
By the way, picking up the gifts is also possible with a small character – if you don’t have an active subscription right now, you can simply send a low-level character to collect the gifts.
Is there more? Yes, you can open more gifts, namely many gifts from previous years. Note that you can also open most of the gifts from previous years that are also under the tree – some, however, are no longer available.
If you missed certain gifts that are no longer available, you can get them with a bit of luck through a daily quest where you must defeat Grumpus in the Hillsbrad Foothills.
Have you picked up your gift yet?
