The Reason for the Season

Speak with Historian Karnik at the Explorer's League in Ironforge about the Feast of Winter Veil.

Description

Gifts, treats, presents... bah, I say!

Those goblins pollute the true meaning of this season - the Feast of Winter Veil. This is a time of renewal; the land slumbers under a blanket of snow brought forth by Greatfather Winter, who is NOT the bumbling fool over there in the red suit!

If you're interested in learning what the Feast is all about for yourself, ask Historian Karnik at the Explorer's League. I'm sure he'll be surprised that someone cares about history rather than getting presents.

The NPC who starts this quest stands outside the IF Bank, left of the stairs as you enter. He's talking about the goblin Santa over to the right of the stairs, as you enter, who is also giving a quest.

What? You don't SEE such a thing out front of the IF bank?

Well, that's because this quest first appeared for a few days in December, 2003. Day after Christmas, it was gone. That's why it's 'Seasonal'.

The quest gives a varying amount of EXP depending your level. My level 18 rogue got 140 exp, yet my level 69 druid got over 1000. My level 61 warlock got around 900. My level 31 warrior got 250 exp.

Enjoyable season quests , thank you.

But why can't my lvl6 hunter not do this quest ?
Or the quest that involves making the cookies ...

Is seasonal cheer only available to higher lvl's?
