You're a Mean One...

Locate and return the Stolen Treats to Wulmort Jinglepocket in Ironforge. It was last thought to be in the possession of the Abominable Greench, found somewhere in the snowy regions of the Alterac Mountains.
Stolen Treats

Description

A c-c-creature called "The Abominable Greench" is the one w-w-who stole our shipment of t-t-treats, <name>. Be c-c-careful though! He is t-t-the one who turned me into this s-s-snowy mess!

You're g-g-gonna need some help in f-f-facing him. I've seen him w-w-wander all around where the y-y-yeti are; he's s-s-surely here s-s-somewhere! F-f-find the treats <name>, take them b-b-back to Smokywood Pastures in Ironforge, and t-t-tell them I n-n-need to be unfrozen!

Progress

<name> - our Feast of Winter Veil will be ruined without those treats to restock! Graccu himself will miss out on sharing his delicious meat pies with all the good boys and girls this season...

Completion

You found it! You've saved Smokywood Pasture's Feast of Winter Veil!

Poor Sacks... we'll be sure to send a team out there and figure out a way to unfreeze him. Hopefully, he'll be back in time for the day of the Feast; he'll need to make up missed time working though. Still, this wouldn't even be possible if it weren't for you!

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 330 experience (19 80 at max. level)

This quest has been changed as of 4.3. It now appears to be a Daily Group quest, requiring lvl 80 to pick it up. Also, it rewards https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=73792"">(Item #73792). Perhaps Blizzard made the Greench into an Un-Instanced Holiday Boss rather than have a LFD thing like previous Holidays.

Edit:https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=73792"">(Item #73792) will have a chance to contain https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=73797"">(Item #73797), some Justice Points if you are not capped, as well as other assorted holiday pets and toys.

Just did this quest, the guy hits like a truck. Found him at 45,38. Take more than a few friends - he really doesn't like to be killed and puts up a heck of a fight. Not sure if it's because we were in a raid group or not but the completion didn't come up until we all left the group. Happy Greench hunting :)

Oh - and stand too near whilst someone else is doing the quest and you can get hurt too - just incase you were hoping to watch someone else do it first.

?item=73792"">(Item #73792) gave me www.aowow.org/?item=54438"">Tiny Blue Ragdoll, https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=37710 Crashin' Thrashin' Racer Controller and 24 JP.

Flew to Hillbrad Foothills for a quick kill before I went to work, I was quite surprised that the Grinch had 34m health, luckily for me I was on my rogue, vanish FTW.

I guess it is a raid type boss now, solo him at your own peril.

Merry Christmas from Finland!

You can complete the quest even if you're not part of the kill now. Metzen and the sacks are rescuable &amp; lootable for a few minutes after Grinch has been killed, until the respawn.

I killed him with three people. Took a while with that setup. I was tanking on a non-tank geared DK in tanking spec (still gathering that tanking gear), and it seemed I didn't need that much healing. The charges can kill unaware ranged, though.

Greench is now an outdoor boss with over 3 mil HP.
When fighting him, you'll be affected by https://vanillawowdb.com/?spell=101860"">(Spell #101860). Just move sometimes, it's not really noticeable.
He also has two skills you do need to watch out for, both require you to move away from marked locations:While it is possible to solo for some classes (hunter for example), it's hard so I would recommend bringing a normal group with tank and healer.

After he's dead, reindeer Metzen will appear nearby, you can talk to it for the quest. The gifts are near the cave where he spawns.
I'm not sure yet, but I think you can complete the quest even if you didn't participate in the kill and were just nearby.

The new event goes like this:
  • You fight https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=54499"">(NPC #54499) and he now has over 3 million health! (Note that he looks nothing like his former self ""https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=13602"">(NPC #13602)"".)
  • You do not need to be in the same group as the one that tagged him, simply fight the boss and when he dies you can loot sacks of the stolen goods in the cave (the one right behind him, stuffed with those Christmas trees, presents and what not.) The reindeer will automatically be credited to you, you can always talk to it too if it makes you feel better.
  • You do not need a tank, a plate DPS can take his hits but I wouldn't solo him because of his large health pool. Still if few in numbers be nice and throw some heal or two on the one taking damage.
It's a daily, each day you do it you have a chance to loot https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=73797"">(Item #73797) from the rewarded https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=73792"">(Item #73792) -good luck and Marry Christmas!

Not impressed with the level requirement. Went to get on my lvl 78 and cannot. They have made so much end-game requirements that you can't just enjoy the events regardless of level. Did this last year on a lvl 20 and had a great time with others but now most of the achievements for Winter Veil are for 80+ so that leaves alot of players out. Humbug!

I was able to do this quest today on my 85 hunter but none of my other toons can pick it up and I don't know why. I have 2 other high level toons, an 85 and a 70. Any ideas why I can't get the quest on them?

After getting killed in one fell swoop, I read a bit more about the the Greench. I was going to give up on the quest but I saw a bunch of horde level 85 grouping up in front of the boss. I stayed stealthed until they started fighting. I tried to help but wasn't getting any healing (go figure). At any rate, I stepped back when I almost died again but the group finished off the boss. I walked in after they were done and was able to pick up the Stolen Treats and complete the quest.

You dont have to be in a formal group, you just have to be there near when he is killed.

Alliance and Horde can work together. You dont have to worry about who tags the Greench.

I flew there today, the Greench had just been killed so I Just looted the bags and talked to Metzen. Quest complete.

You have 5 minutes after the boss is killed to loot the presents and talk to Metzen, regardless whether you participated in killing or not.

Also, if you're a hunter with https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=50051"">(NPC #50051) as a pet, if you get him close to Metzen, they won't hug or anything. A pity.

The Greench is located in Hillsbrad Foothills at 43.6, 41.6. Outside a cave next to the ruins of Alterac.

He has 3,435,680 Health.
Abilities are as follows:Can be done by 2 - 3 DPS no problem! Tank and healer is not needed at all.

Alternatively you can wait around for someone else to kill him and you will get the credit for free'ing Metzen yourself if you stand around.

After the quest is all said and done head your way back to Ironforge and hand in!

You will recieve 8G 27S at level 85 and a https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=73792"">(Item #73792).

https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=73792"">(Item #73792) can contain various items including:You can also receive https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=34425"">(Item #34425) which when learned will award you with ?achievement=1705"">(Achievement #1705).

According to Blizzard you can obtain ANY item from previous years. The Clockwork rocket bot is the only one known for the Feat of Strength.

Dropped in and got the quest from the snowman right after someone just killed the boss. Looted the stolen goods and got a ""freed Metzen"" notification without doing anything at all. So if you can't solo him and don't have a group, just let someone else kill him for you. Apparently, you don't even have to be there when he dies, just loot while he's dead.

The snowman is there, between the trees, with the quest for you. Especially good if you fly all the way out there without picking up the quest in ironforge.

If u are a melee-class and u want a challenge, try to solo this.

His main damaging abilities are:

1.) Melee swing wich can be resisted or avoided with sufficiant armor/dodge/parry. (13k)
2.) AOE Ice damage wich can be avoided (20-30k)
3.) Abomnible Crush wich can be avoided (80-100k)

* He will use 'Shrink Heart' on u as a debuff, move to end it.
* When he trows a Snowman, keep moving away from the Snowman to avoid the AOE damage.
* The worst is his 'Abomnible Crush'. He will first trow a tree, then jump on it and fling u in the air. Keep moving to avoid it and keep ur eye on the location of the tree. If going backwards is too slow, strafe or run ahead.

I used the open place in front of his cave to backtrack in a circle, passing the mountains and the cave periodicly. Got hit once by 'Abomnible Crush', but managed to heal up. I did it as a Blood DK in dps gear, but looking at the mechanics it should be doable by more classes.

Good luck with this and happy hunting!

Recover the Stolen Treats and free Metzen the Reindeer after defeating the Abominable Greench, who is hiding out near Growless Cave in the Hillsbrad Foothills.
Metzen the Reindeer slain
Stolen Treats

Assume thats just a glitch but that would be pretty twisted if you really had to kill Metzen the Reindeer.
