New Winter's Veil clothes only obtained through tailoring. They look very, provocative on females...

Comment by failquail

As far as i know this pattern is Horde only, Alliance get

Getting the pattern seems impossible but the item could be passed through neutral AH.

Comment by Scoops

As a tailor I received this in the mail from blizzard with the following message:

From: Greatfather Winter
Subject: Happy Feast of Winter Veil!

Please sew, share and enjoy some fine green winter clothes with your friends through the holidays!

Comment by Salus

Good news ! You're supposed to get new patterns like directly in your mail from Great Father Winter himself. Bad news, nobody exactly knows how to get them.

We're currently investigating this matter—quite avidly, to be brutally honest—and hope to reach a solid answer shortly; until then, we will be unable to directly assist any players who have not yet received Winter Veil patterns or recipes, as we must establish baseline requisites before providing such items to the public.

Once more, you have my most sincere apologies for leading you astray; nonetheless, our intent has not changed—we still wish to ensure that all those deserving of these patterns and recipes acquire them—though our method of "attack" has altered slightly for the time being.

This pattern is available via the Smokeywood Pastures vendor in Orgrimmar (possibly other major cities too), along with the boots pattern and the cider recipe. The pattern is bind on pickup.

I just got back from Christmas, and went and opened all my presents on all six of my level 60+ characters. (All Alliance.) In the package that had the Greench and the Preserved Holly, I also received this pattern. I got it on my 64 warlock, who does not have tailoring, but it's boe, so I sent it over to my tailor. Kinda wish I had gotten this earlier, when green winter clothes were selling for 70g on our AH.

Okay, may be a bug, but I was able to put this up for auction. The only issue I had was no one wanted to buy...

Comment by 38823

This pattern IS available for purchase to both factions - confirmed as of 12/16/08.

A warrior friend and myself (priest) shielded up and ran in to snatch up the recipe. She is the 2nd goblin you'll see right near the AH (the one closest to the AH doors).

Note: make sure you have enough cash to spare on whichever toon you're going to run in on. The pattern costs 50s and you'd be better off spamming it a few times to make sure you grab one whilst the guards/hordies rip you apart like a present on Xmas morning.

If you happen to die while in pursuit (run out along the buildings on the lefthand side if possible and you can rez behind them on ledges, out of view of most horde.

Good luck!

Comment by Leumasii

This IS obtainable by Ally, as the vendor is Smokeywood Pastures (as stated by Virah) I did as my Lock, with a hunter (76 - 76).. oh, and if you are suicidal enough to try, good luck..

Comment by Piemei

Hehe, I did this on my priest earlier - I was able to buy the recipe as a spirit of redemption!

Just got the pattern on my Alliance tailor, who happens to be a rogue. She's only 63, and I died like 50 times, but I was able to get it, and the RFC achievement while I was there.

My tip, if you die right at the goblin's feet,wait till there are no patrolling guards, and then you can rez just behind her. If you're quick about your purchase, you can get it. Remember this to make it quick, the pattern is in the lowermost right hand corner of the vendor window on the first page! Unless she gains more items that are limited quantity, I think it should always be there.

Tip number two, remember the pattern is Bind on Pickup so don't waste your time bringing in your epic geared level 80 warrior tank who isn't a tailor...

Tip three, if you're having trouble figuring out just where to go, scout the place while you're dead. If you're close enough to her, she should show up, even if you can't rez next to her. Then you can mark a path out in your mind.

Tip four, if you're not a rogue or a druid, and you lack a stealth, you will most likely be attempting to use a mount. In fact, I suggest it for getting as close as you can on your first run in. Though you'll probably not have time to remount when rezzing. Then it's just run as far as you can before the guards destroy you.

These tips are mostly for those who are not 80, and may not be epic geared, and are attempting to solo this little adventure. Of course...what would be best is to have a nice level 80 raid-geared tank come along and hold all the aggro and kill off the horde players while you casually stroll up to Ms. Pennypinch and purchase your pattern on your tailor

This is not impossible...just very time consuming and a bit hard on the patience. Good luck!

Successfully - and fairly quickly - grabbed this as Alliance on my 37 Frost Mage. I imagine the same technique would work for a pally (or any other class with an "oh $#!&" button like bubble/block), and the same concept would probably work for any Horde trying to get the red pattern in IF...

1. Get 2 or 3 Invisibility Potion and fly to your closest known FP. I went to Ratchet and ran up the coast to ORG. Stay off the roads (obviously) - you'll run into less opposing players/guards/pats.

2. When you're as close to the front gate as you can get without aggroing anything, take the first Invisibility Potion and run right through the doors! You should be able to get most of the way to the end of the hallway before it wears off. Don't go out into the open yet though! Stay in - you'll see why in the next step - and expect to be killed promptly.

3. Run back from Spirit Healer (they put you in the Razor Hill graveyard, so it's an annoying run) then when you enter the hallway again, hide in one of the slots in the walls closest to the end to rez only after the Pot CD is up (you'll probably have 6 or 7 mins on it to kill so you could go ghost exploring to learn where things are) and only when the patrol is as far away as possible.

4. Rez and IMMEDIATELY take 2nd Invis Pot... then run like hell into the open and as far down the road as you can get - keep right at the fork in the road - you'll see the little goblin caravan on your right by their AH. As soon as the pot wears off, Blink forward and expect to be killed promptly.

5. Run back (fun!) to the closest spot you can to the Smokeywood Pastures cart - it's ok to stand in the middle of the road, they'll find you no matter what - might as well be efficient.

6. Rez and immediately Blink towards the female goblin then Ice Block and make your transaction!
(if they hit you before you can Ice Block, just rez a final time right behind Penney Copperpinch, bubble/block and buy then).

Then I took the damage/rez sickness at the Spirit Healer and ported back to repair!

Shockingly easier than I imagined it would be. :) Good Luck!

HOW TO: /win

i made an account jus to say this, i play an ally mage and i wanted to get the horde pattern. if ur a mage u CAN rez, iceblock, and buy the pattern while iceblocked :) saved me alot of hassle, i hope this helps. Hurry and buy it soon u wont be able to

Comment by AlaskanDruid

I did this on my lv20 ally Priest, just now. Died over 12 times, and long corpse runs, but I got it, yay!

Comment by FourDeuce

If you rez under the awning right behind the vendor it often takes the hordies a while to notice you're there. I had time to rez, buy the pattern, and then a good 5 seconds after before anybody noticed me under there. ;)
Unfortunately, my hearthstone takes 10 seconds, so I had to come back again and rez around the corner to have time to hearth out. If you die around the corner behind the vendor, the next time you can rez inside the building behind her. It's nice and quiet in the building.

Comment by Spycrab

I find this a LOT more difficult to get on a lower alliance toon, this year. I retrieved it on a 40-something warlock last year relatively easily. I changed that toon's professions to mining / JC at some point during the year and ended up with a priest as my enchanter / tailor.

Anyways, she is level 53 and on a pve server with a very low horde population. The 85 guards one-shot me, which I guess is to be expected, however, there seems to be 3-4 of them posted right within range around the vendor. I don't think there's a way to buy it fast enough (I couldn't even get the buy window up) before they shoot, and I couldn't figure out a way to sneak in an extra second or two in.

I left a half dozen or more skeletons in various spots around Penney before I gave up, healer rezzed and hearthed. I advise against wasting your time with this on lower level alts unless you have an 85 to hold off the guards while you grab the pattern.

if you can fly, don't dismount before trying to buy from her.
you can buy while mounted, and then fly out again.

Comment by noesis790

Success!
I just got this on my level 29 Alliance Frost Mage--it took me a number of tries. Many times, I was very close--the final time, I actually managed to purchase 3 copies...when it rains it pours...
Since I didn't have ice block (which is a great idea), I just had to be really really quick and efficient, since I get one shotted upon rezing.
My suggestions:
1) Make a horde toon to scout the area, find her location. Browse her wares and see where the recipe appears in her inventory. I then made a small mark on my monitor where the item appears, so I'll know exactly where to click.
2) Switch to main toon; do the rez bunny hop (I used blink too) to get to her. I rez'd in between the two goblins, standing on the presents, but I'm not so sure it matters. Before you rez, align your screen so that when you right click on her, you're right clicking on where the recipe will be (so you don't have to move your mouse). I used first person view, found that more helpful.
3) Spam right click upon rezing.
4) Be Naked.

Pattern: Green Winter Clothes which makes Green Winter Clothes is obtainable in the following ways:

This pattern is only available during the Feast of Winter Veil each year and is Bind on Pickup.
Horde characters will receive this pattern in their mailbox for every horde character that has tailoring as a profession - it will arrive on the first day of the Winter's Veil event and the sender is Greatfather Winter himself.
Horde tailors can also purchase this pattern from:
- Nardstrum Copperpinch in Undercity
- Penney Copperpinch in Orgrimmar
- Seersa Copperpinch in Thunderbluff
- Eebee Jinglepocket in Shattrath
- Alliance tailors can purchase this pattern from:
  
  Penney Copperpinch in Orgrimmar (the other Copperpinch family vendors in Thunder Bluff and Undercity will not interact with you except to try to kill you!)
- Eebee Jinglepocket in Shattrath - for allies who do not wish for cross-faction slaughter
- If you do not have a tailor you won't be able to get the pattern, BUT you can commission a tailor to make the Green Winter Clothes for you or hit your local AH to find the clothes instead.

Other Feast of Winter Veil Recipes and Patterns:

Pattern: Red Winter Clothes which makes Red Winter Clothes

Pattern: Winter Boots which makes Winter Boots

Just ran into Ogrimmar to get this on my 70 NE Priest Tailor (guildmate ran along with me just for fun). Scoped it out first on my lowbie horde alt so I knew where to go (the vendors are right before the AH).

We donned gnome elf disguises and used holly to be on reindeer. Only a couple guards spotted us, he got dismounted and a couple people attacked (luckily he's a rogue, so he just vanished). We got out of there alive and I have a shiny new pattern. :)

Probably easier to do at off times, with less horde wandering about. Not sure if the disguise/reindeer helped or not. It's really not that far in. But much better with a mount, I'm sure. Or maybe a swiftness pot.

Comment by Thottbot

I may be the only Alliance to own this pattern on my server, for I haven't heard of anyone else doing this. I only got it for the fun of knowing I'm an insane nutjob.

Jarzak, Human Warrior
Ysera PvE

Please tell me if you are on my server and also have this on alliance side. I'd like to hear from the bored people who corpse hopped (like I did, but only 5 times) to get this

Comment by peukst

Just wanted to confirm, that this can indeed still be bought by Alliance players, from Penney outside Orgrimmar AH.
