This Sunday morning till Monday night “Day of the Dead” celebrates the champions of Azeroth who fell before the Lich King. It represents one whole year since the Lich King laid siege to Stormwind’s docks and Orgrimmar plus almost a year since Wrath of the Lich King launched.

Being only a two day event there’s not much you can do, and like most stuff they don’t last long. There’s one achievement called Dead Man’s Party. All you need to do is target Catrina, who is located at major city graveyards, and then type /dance to complete this easy 10 point achievement.

More information about this event:

Type: Memorial Holiday

Date: November 1-2

Locations: Graveyards of all Major Cities: Stormwind, Ironforge, Darnassus, Exodar, Orgrimmar, Undercity,  Silvermoon City,  Thunder Bluff, Shattrath City, and Dalaran City.
There is a sneaky quest called The Grateful Dead that requires level 1 cooking. This quest will reward you with 13g and a Day of the Dead Non-combatant pet called Macabre Marionette. Below is a guide on how to get this pet.

•Buy the Recipe: Bread of the Dead from Chapman next to Catrina and learn it.

•Buy the Simple Flour from any cooking supplies NPC (Just take the one next to the trainer if you don’t know where they are) and Ice Cold Milk from most Innkeepers and Food/Drink vendors.

•Go to the graveyard of your faction’s capital city and go to the Ghostly Cooking Fire next to Catrina.

•Create a Bread of the Dead.

•Buy an Orange Marigold or a Bouquet of Orange Marigolds from Chapman (the NPC who sells the recipe) and use it. Ghosts will appear in the graveyard.

•One of the ghosts will offer the following quest : The Grateful Dead.

•Give the bread to the ghost to receive your Macabre Marionette!

Well get your socks on for this fast event and have a good time!
