During the wintery season, these had a chance to drop off any dungeon bosses, you could tell before hand if they were going to drop due to the mob wearing the hat.
They were later turned into a 'Uncommon' item from a 'Common' item in later patches due to random players taking the hat and the rest of the party had a unfair advantage.
There has been reports of the item dropping off any mob in the world.
I have this hat and it apparently doesnt 'disapear' after seven days or so, so you can have it forever in other words. I got my from BRD of the Emporer. BRD is a fun instance if you have 4 other level 60's, it's just a bit hard getting a group. Anyway, whenever you see the Emporer, he is wearing the hat, and since the item is new, I believe it is a 100% drop. I'll try to send a picture if I can -Samm Level 60 Human Paladin - Silver Hand
is it a confirmed 100% drop rate from bosses such as gandling, the emperor in brd, price in dm w, etc (in the lvl 60 instances)? What about other bosses for lower-level instances?
Was playing around with my lvl 19 lock alt hordeside, doing Guns of Northwatch. Killed a random mob inside the keep (no he did not have the hat on)and he dropped the red one. It's bop (at least the one I got) and have not seen any others floating around. I'm presuming it's fairly rare.
Yeah, going about my business in Mulgore and doing a level 6 quest fighting humanoid mobs and one of 'em dropped one of these. I'll upload my character's profile so you can see it on him, he's only lvl 7. hehe
i want that hat! not the green one, looks dumb on an Elf.. xD but cant u get a full set of clothing that looks like winter reveler's outfit?(the girls)
Did Voone 5 times today, 2007-12-16, no drops. WoW armory says: War Master Voone58 EliteBlackrock SpireGuaranteed (100%)
Speculation: I think it's very plausible that it's like Cort said above, they don't start dropping until the 24th or 25th. Either that or they just won't drop for level 70 character off level 60 bosses.
I see a lot of posting in regards to the Euro servers but does anyone know if the hats are dropping on the North American servers as of now? Thanks for any responses.
This evening 12-16-2007 on the Eldre' Thalus Server which is a North American server I got the red winter hat off the first humanoid boss in Nethermancer Sepethrea in a normal mech run. I figured I would post so that there would be some confirmation from the North American servers :D
