Festa col morto

Commento di 664519

Quite possibly the most uninteresting holiday of the WoW calendar.

Blizzard could've done so much more with this one; a small quest chain to visit the graveyards of all the major cities for example. At least that would justify giving us a "real" pet.

Commento di 695006

This event kinda sucks. I was hoping for the pet, but it's not even a real pet. It's a click-to-summon pet. The mask is pretty cool, but everything can only be used on Day of the Dead, so you just have a bunch of items that take up bank space for 364 days of the year.

Commento di Djarum42

they should have made the marionettes as "real" pets and used the sugar skulls (or bread of the dead) as reagents for it. similar to the ones for Christmas (reindeer/snowman/etc)

...or have schematics for it as reward for something, and give engineers something (new) to do

graveyard laps would have been a nice addition -- maybe not just the city ones, there's so many across the continents...

...putting the candle bottles at them
...different cemetery spirits give random quickie quests, or something...
...kill graverobbers

PS: we need sombreros (craftable or reward) now!

Commento di Azunyan

This isn't such a bad holiday if you get an achievement and a 1-day pet (not to mention the sombrero costume). Just look at Harvest Festival...

6.0.2 EDIT: The holiday got even more amazing with new stuff, not to mention that since 2013, the Marionetta Macabra pet has become permanent!

Costumes: (Does not need to be Day of the Dead to use, but can only be bought during the holiday. They can be purchased from Chapman for 100g each.)

Achievements:

looks like the quest line has been removed as well - *sigh*

*EDIT* I can't get the quest line in SW but I can in Dalaran ?

Commento di JacobFaulkner

For anyone looking near Goldshire for Catrina, don't. She's been moved from that location and has been put inside Stormwind at the gaveyard, newly introduced in the remoddling of the city during the Sundering (just before Cata at the remoddling of the world). You can find her at 47,26 inside Stormwind.

Commento di 904971

I couldn't get the quest in Undercity, but it was there in Org. I'm a troll. Does your race have anything to do with it? *scratches head*

Update: I got on my blood elf DK. Nothing in Undercity... again, nothing in Org. I went to Silvermooon, and the quest was there for her. She had already completed it last year, so it is repeatable. I guess you have to be in the capital city of your race.

I suggest picking up your flour and milk before trotting off over to the cemetary. It'll save the time of having to run back and forth :)

Commento di 904971

yes, this is true also :) although I believe one of my toons didn't see it in Dal, so I went elsewhere. I don't know why she couldn't get it there, but who knows.

Commento di 795337

This quest is "race" sensitive. Undead go to Undercity, Troll and Orc outside of Org. and Tauren at Thunderbluff etc. I believe anyone can do them at neutral cities (Shat. and Dal.) although I'm not 100% sure. Also, you can't see the quest giver unless you use "orange marigold", this enables you to see the ghosts for a brief period of time.
I was a little confused because my 1st 2 toons I did this with were a troll and an orc and both got them outside of Org., but when I came to do it with my tauren it wasn't offered. Thanks to a nice GM who pointed me in the right direction.
Hope that helps somebody.

Commento di stabaho

You have to use the flower to see invisible, then there is a Cheerful Ghost in the graveyard that will give you the quest for the pet.

~~I was able to get quest on my 85, unable to get it on a lvl 24 alt.~~

Like posted above said, it is race sensitive, so make sure your in the right place.

Still look for the cheerful ghost.

Commento di mekikya

So you wanna do the day of the Dead? Head to your races capital city, find the graveyard. Die if you must ;)

So walk up to the people, no quests to be seen?...talk to the vendor, buy yourself a Calendula Arancione or if you are feeling friskyBouquet di Calendule Arancioni then you can see the one quest giver.

Pick up the quest, go to the vendor, buy yourself theRicetta: Pane dei Morti head to your nearest cooking supplies/inn, pick up some milk and some simple flour. Can't make the bread?

Head back to the vendor, there is a blue fire called Ghostly Cooking Fire, next to them you can cook there. Thats the only fire you can make the bread of the dead on.

Grab yourself another Calendula Arancione or use your Bouquet di Calendule Arancioni and turn in! you got yourself a cute little Marionetta Macabra.

Unfortunately, he is only usable during Day of the Dead.

To finish the Day, dance with Catrina to getFesta col morto

Commento di mykroar

Goblins are outside at the Org graveyard also. Please note that you can dance with Catrina at any GY, but you can only do the quest at your racial graveyard.

Commento di Midgetpower

Even though this holiday is very short in game, Blizzard did a great job if you look at the real life holiday it represents:

Day of the Dead (Spanish: Día de los Muertos) is a holiday celebrated in Mexico and around the world in many cultures. The holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died. It is particularly celebrated in Mexico, where it attains the quality of a National Holiday. The celebration takes place on November 1–2, in connection with the Catholic holidays of All Saints' Day (November 1) and All Souls' Day (November 2). Traditions connected with the holiday include building private altars honoring the deceased using sugar skulls, marigolds, and the favorite foods and beverages of the departed and visiting graves with these as gifts.

Shattrath City graveyard (39,22) is a multi-racial point: all races are hosted.

Ultimate Guide:

Introduction to the Event & What You Can Receive:

During this event we are celebrating the dead that have died for us and is based on the Spanish holiday celebrated in Mexico.

Anyway, the holiday is only 2 days long, starting on the 1st of November at 01:00 Game Time until the end of the following day (23:59 2nd of November).

As this event is only spanned over just under two days it means that there is very much less to do than a normal event and will not count towards What a Long, Strange Trip It's Been as it is such a minor event but will award you with the Dead Man's Party achievement, some perishable items (will not remain in your bags after the event has ended), as well as a perishable cooking recipe (Recipe: Bread of the Dead) (the bread made from the cooking recipe requires the event to be active to be made as it specifies but also because the fires required to make are only active during the event), and some off-hand flowers (unusable in transmog due to no stats). There (as far as I know) is no minimum level requirements.

Highlights:

Invisible Ghosts! (explained below)

Macabre Marionette (it is not a proper pet as it will not be in your spellbook, but will remain in your bags and will disappear after the event ends)

Dead Man's Party Achievement

Day of the Dead Items:

Vendor Items:

Candy Skull 25 Copper for a stack of 5

Orange Marigold 10 Copper for 1

Spirit Candle 30 Copper for 1

Recipe: Bread of the Dead 20 Silver for 1

Whimsical Skull Mask 5 Copper for 1

Bouquet of Orange Marigolds 1 Gold for 1

Quest Items:

Macabre Marionette - Q The Grateful Dead (different quest version depending on where you complete the quest (your race)).

Cooking:

Bread of the Dead (requires the event to be active to make or keep the item). Source (vendor).

What to do for the Event:

In every major city (or just outside of) is where the event takes place:

Neutral:

Dalaran - Graveyard can be found in next to Violet Citadel in the grass next to the Underbelly entrance.

Shattrath - Graveyard is just outside the East Gate of the city.

Alliance:

Ironforge - Graveyard can be found to the south (southeast really) of the entrance up a small hill. coords 61,37

Stormwind - Graveyard can be found in Stormwind beside Stormwind Lake, behind the Cathedral.

Darnassus - Graveyard located directly behind the Guild Master house in Darnassus. coords 69,40.

Exodar - Graveyard is just south of Azure Watch.

Horde:

Silvermoon City - Going from Silvermoon go west past The Dead Scar before you get to Falcon Square.

Thunder Bluff - Graveyard can be found right next to the north lift of the Middle Rise

Orgrimmar - Can be found left of the road heading south right past the boar farm.

Undercity - Graveyard is located inside the courtyard of the city right across from the chamber for the Orb of Translocation

--

It is recommended that you go to your race's main city otherwise you won't be able to pick up the quest The Grateful Dead.

Once you have found a graveyard you will then see two NPC's; Catrina and Chapman. Dance with Catrina to get the achievement Dead Man's Party and get transformed into a special Undead. Chapman is a vendor with some items to sell and 5/6 of his items require the event to be active to even remain in your bags.

To complete the quest The Grateful Dead and earn the Macabre Marionette you must be in your respective main city's graveyard (Dranei = Exodar, Dwarf = Ironforge, Gnome = Ironforge, Human = Stormwind, Night elf = Darnassus, Worgen = Darnassus Blood elf = Silvermoon, Undead = Undercity, Orc = Orgrimmar, Tauren = Thunderbluff, Troll = Orgrimmar, Goblin = Orgrimmar). Once you are there you must buy an Orange Marigold (consumed on use, cost 10 copper), or the Bouquet of Orange Marigolds (not consumed on use, 1 gold) - 30 second buff timer, 30 second cooldown - from Chapman, use it at the graveyard and accept the quest from the NPC with the quest, that shows up (you can now see NPCs as the item provides the player with lesser invisibility). You will now be required to create Bread of the Dead. To obtain the bread buy the recipe (required cooking level 1) from Chapman. Once learned, to create the item you will need to acquire a 'Simple Flour' and an 'Ice Cold Milk' (it is recommended to purchase the items before-hand). Once you have the items to create it, you will need to return to a graveyard to make it using the special fire (blue flame). You will then need to repeat the process to see the invisible ghosts again if you returned from purchasing the items and then hand the quest in to the NPC. You will receive 'Macabre Marionette' as a reward. This is a summon-able pet that is not learn-able, but instead summon-able from your bag and will disappear once the event has ended.

Commento di JacobFaulkner

It may also be interesting to note that:

Only the Achievement is a Reward You Can Keep.
There is no required level or cooking level.
Apparently the NPC Chapman is supposed to be a link to a Monty Python person.

I would love it if the Marionetta Macabra was a permanent Companion. So cute :-)

The Dead Collector: Bring out yer dead! (a man puts a body on the cart, unaware of the fact that the man is actually alive)
Large Man with Dead Body: Here's one.
The Dead Collector: That'll be ninepence.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I'm not dead.
The Dead Collector: What?
Large Man with Dead Body: Nothing. (hands the collector his money) There's your ninepence.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I'm not dead!
The Dead Collector: 'Ere, he says he's not dead.
Large Man with Dead Body: Yes he is.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I'm not.
The Dead Collector: He isn't.
Large Man with Dead Body: Well, he will be soon, he's very ill.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I'm getting better.
Large Man with Dead Body: No you're not, you'll be stone dead in a moment.
The Dead Collector: Well, I can't take him like that. It's against regulations.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I don't want to go on the cart.
Large Man with Dead Body: Oh, don't be such a baby.
The Dead Collector: I can't take him.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I feel fine.
Large Man with Dead Body: Oh, do me a favor.
The Dead Collector: I can't.
Large Man with Dead Body: Well, can you hang around for a couple of minutes? He won't be long.
The Dead Collector: I promised I'd be at the Robinsons'. They've lost nine today.
Large Man with Dead Body: Well, when's your next round?
The Dead Collector: Thursday.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I think I'll go for a walk.
Large Man with Dead Body: You're not fooling anyone, you know. Isn't there anything you could do?
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I feel happy. I feel happy. (The collecter glances up and down the street furtively, then whacks the body with his club, solving the problem)
Large Man with Dead Body: Ah, thank you very much.
The Dead Collector: Not at all. See you on Thursday.
Large Man with Dead Body: Right.

I wish WoWhead could be better at defining holidays. The text above says " one day" the right hand box shows 47 hours " 1AM to midnight the next". In addition, my in-game calendar shows "starting on 1st, ending on 3rd. Sorry, I didn't open it to see times involved. To the future "check your in-game calendar for the latest and greatest".

Macabre marionette has finally become a battle pet . Really cool .

Commento di 714565

damn, missed this achive for 3 consecutive year already..always forgot to get back to main city to get this...

Commento di Tygerlilly

Looks like Marionetta Macabra will finally be available as a permanent pet this year from Il caro estinto. The event only lasts from from 11am 11/1/2013 through 11am 11/3/2013 so don't forget!

Commento di Papa63

As of 1st Nov 2013.

Go to the graveyard in SW, NW of Dwarven District and take Simple flour and icecold milk with you.
Buy the recipe Day of the bread and craft one at the fire at the pillar.
Buy a bouquet of orange marigold. Equip it and use it. The quest and questgiver will appear at a grave. Accept the quest, hand in the bread and voila. There is your pet. Don't forget to dance with Catrina for achievement.

have fun. Pet is uncommon and cageable! So get some extra with your alt's.

Pika

PS remember, humans go to SW, Nelf's to Darnassus etc.
Dalaran and Shat are neutral. Dalaran is easy to get to from the graveyard and the docks with ship. Then FP to Dalaran. Even lv1 can do it with no harm.

Commento di 565855

If you are a Panda dalaran and shat work.

Commento di Opallena

Pandarens should go to either Stormwind Citiy for Alliance, or Orgrimmar for Horde to pick up their quest.

Commento di alecto9

It might just be me but it looks like Blizz did not reset the quest to get the pet this year so I had to complete it on a different character.

Commento di SpareSimian

For Tauren, the graveyard is located below the rear lifts of Thunder Bluff, in the notch in the hillside.

Commento di Mondoblasto

The first game I played that involved the Day of the Dead was Grim Fandango. Still a great game.

Commento di RageZero

I started a group that has a massive 'Contender' brawl on the timeless isle. 30 sec resses and 33+ players. This is by far the best way to get these new 'Contender' achievements.
Putting a mark down on the respawn point give players an excellent jumping target for quick kills.
Good luck on getting your achi, and happy slaughtering!

For all the hunters out there, you can disengage in the costumes to avoid damage in a pinch!

Completo del Contendente "Gufo delle Nevi"
Completo del Contendente "Sole Santo"

The Search Engine Google is showing this Doodle in its home page on November 2nd in few Countries for the Day of the Dead (Día de muertos)

Day of the Dead (Día de muertos) is a Mexican holiday celebrated throughout Mexico, in particular the Central and South regions, and by people of Mexican ancestry living in other places, especially the United States. It is acknowledged internationally in many other cultures. The multi-day holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died, and help support their spiritual journey.

Today's Doodle captures the intricate tissue-paper cutouts that have been used in Mexican celebrations since the 18th century. The bright, delicate paper banners indicate that life is fragile and fleeting, but it's also full of beauty and delight.

Honestly, it's a real shame they didn't tweek this for 2018 / 2019. Would have loved a hearthstone that makes you look and dance like Catrina.

Commento di Gwiez

Marionetta Macabra's graphics are still effed up (2019) and have been since BfA changed the human skeleton model. The hat bisects the skull, and there's no shorts. File enough reports and maybe it will eventually be fixed.
