Speaking as a Troll Hunter, this should be a very annoying achievement during winter veil. xD

Comment by Branalia

An undead rogue? What the hell? Where are we EVER going to find one of those?

Comment by 207285

Good thing you don't have to find a female dwarf warrior =P

Comment by Zacban

Pick up some cloth gear and stand out in the middle of nowhere.. and THEY will find YOU ;)

You can get snowflakes by /kiss ing a Winter Reveler. You have a chance to receive 5 of them, and it can only be done once per hour.

Comment by 63375

This one is very easy on PvE servers. Since there, if your alliance, you can just ask a friend to make a level 1 horde char of each of the classes, and visa versa.

Maybe the deathknight one might be tricky, i dunno if you can make a 55 horde deathknight, if you only have a 55+ lvl alliance char on the server.

Comment by teranoid

If this is anything like Where's Your Head? then you can do this in neutral cities (ie. Shattrath) to players of the opposing faction. Easy enough.

Comment by AxelF

You should be able to do it in Dalaran and other neutral cities so it will be preety easy.

Oh the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we've no place to go,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

Comment by fantom106

you could also just have a friend make characters of that type for you to toss some snow on, unless there's a level requirement of course

Comment by 194491

This will be fairly hard on a server like Magtheridon with none to zero allies. Good thing you can do it on level 1's.

Comment by ongra

You get a Handful of snowflakes by using /kiss on one of the Winter Revelers at the inn. It might give you Fresh Holly or Mistletoe instead though.

Comment by Ryxis

am i the only one feeling a little sad at not being on the list? i wanted to have flakes thrown on me all the time :(

(Tauren Druid)

Comment by Patze

To complete this one, you need to get Handful of Snowflakes by kissing Winter revelers in inns around that Azeroth. (At the time im writing this, revelers in Dalaran were bugged and didnt react to /kiss emote and yes I didnt have the debuff)

Then you just use snowflakes on class player combinations listed in achievement. Dalaran at peak hours might be a good place to do this. Good luck!

Comment by 182830

prepare to get snowed alot if you're on the list

Comment by SirSam972

If your server is incredibly imbalanced like mine, try going into the battlegrounds to find the right combination.

Comment by Zoneseek

You'll be happy to know that there are achievements for other holidays that include throwing something at race/class combos that differ from this achievements list.

Such as Fistful of Love

Comment by 256527

You ought to thank your lucky stars you aren't one of the class/race mixes listed - I'm a belf warlock and I've had snow chucked at me 3 times in as many minutes so guys could complete this achievement - and you can't debuff.

Bah Humbug ;-)

Comment by Interest

A simple way to find the location of people of the race/class combinations on the list for this and other similar achievements, for your side only, is to do a /who <race> <class> command.

Although standing in Org or IF works too.

Comment by zAce

When I first saw the title for the achievement, I instantly thought of the song "Let it snow" in the Die Hard movie.

Christmas isn't christmas without Die Hard. :)

Comment by Toxiciity

and me that wanted to get this achievement...
all allys migrate to magtheridon

Comment by proline

This is what I did, and it worked really well.
I stood in Stormwind, did a /who dwarf paladin stormwind, and found a guy. Wrote /tar 'thenamehehadhere', and then ran from the AH to the Mailbox, because he were in range, but not in LOS.

Completed the alliance combinations in less than 3 minutes.
I even got some /w's who said 'WTF, how did you do that? D:'
.

Comment by Vigg

I just saw a Troll Hunter running around Dalaran getting snowed every 5 seconds, give or take.

I felt sorry for the poor guy. I hope he was wearing some warm clothes under that armour!

Comment by 196703

Didn't think I would ever say this, but....

We need more Draenei!

Comment by Ichise

find a friend -> ask him to create whatever race/class you lack..throw Snowflakes
enjoy well will help for things like dreanei priest (damn rares)

Comment by blupache

I actually got fed up & made an alliance toon specifically to search for draenei priests...

During the middle of the day, there were a total of 3 on the entire server.

Comment by 192006

The 'friends make an alt idea' wont work for the orc death knight unless they alredy have one due to the fact that u can only have one death knight per server

Comment by sirius

It's a pain for Horde players on PvP server... Two days searching Draenei Priest and found no one yet.

Comment by 196703

Same here, then I just entered AV to get my little helper achievement... and there she was!

...man I never seen anyone get snowballed like that before...

Comment by 50731

...or a Tauren Rogue

Comment by Cosmikaze

Have thougt abouth that but i play on a pvp server and almost all my friends allready have a horde on the same server:(

Edit: finnaly found one in Sholazar Basin

Comment by 283091

I think you will find an Orc Death Knight pretty easy in orgrimmar so the alt idea works good.
But on PvP servers its kinda hard for you friend to create horde and alliance alts, hehe.

Comment by Xhougnaamn

The easiest way to find the Orc Death Knight, only if you are a Death Knight yourself, is to simply port to Ebon Hold and stand at the spawn point until one shows up. I did this and found one in seconds.

If you are a Druid, you may just port to Moonglade and look around to find a Night Elf Druid.

If you are a Rogue, you could stealth into the opposing faction's city (Orgrimmar/Stormwind are the most popular) and stand at one of the hot-spots such as the bank, flight master, auction house, mage trainer, or the battleground room and throw the snowflakes at people. This is an easy way to get credit for the opposing faction.

As for the others, there are a few ways to do it:

¤ Go to Dalaran/Shattrath and search for them, as there are all types of race/class combinations there.
¤ Stand in one of the faction-specific major cities and hope not to be instantly killed while throwing snowflakes at people.
¤ Enter a battleground and search the list for the combinations that you need, then go find them and throw snowflakes at them.
¤ Visit each of the class trainers and wait for a player of the specific race that you need to show up.
¤ Visit each of the starting zones and wait for a player of the specific class that you need to appear.

stood around in lagaran at the flight master for a good two hours untill one came by, disguised as a gnome. Sneaky Draenei

Comment by karti

draenai priest? i dont believe you guys exist -.-

Comment by karti

for all pvp server inhabitants:

you all got those test account keys for wotlk.
create an account, create the needed chars, put them where you want them.
tell login+pw to a friend, ask them to log in for 2 mins until u get your achievment.

happy christmas :)

Comment by 238194

Too bad you can't make a Draenei on those trial accounts.

But you could use the account to check if there's one in dalaran, and get his/her name so you can run around spamming a /target macro :)

Comment by 57136

i play on magtheridon EU horde, i see about 1 aliance a day if im lucky(20k VS 400 or so of lvl 20+). i chose 2 find the human in the northshire abby, dorfs and gnomes in theyr own start zone, and so on, no BG needed :P, also u dont have 2 hope u can actualy reech the gnome mage in a WSG, its awfull for ur team if they all chase the gnome mage and let it live yust to get this achiefment, since if it has the flag they STILL let it live so nr 10 can get his achiefment!

Comment by bigmike

I am alliance so searching for that special Draenei priest was easy for me, but man oh man Orc Death Knights are the most difficult thing in the world.

I swear I saw 20 Female Dwarf Rogues before I saw an Orc Death Knight ride by me. My snowflake was on cooldown so I had to /wait him.

Comment by Alfimus

just completed on my horde main - only one i had trouble finding was Dranei Priest. created an ally toon, /who to find one and asked politly if i could do the achievment on him and where i would be able to find him, he was very helpfull. i am also goin to take the ally toon {which i made a draenei priest} and stand outside org so others can complete they're achievment

Comment by gpdoyon

I found that the bet place to get this achievement done was to stand on the bank steps in Dalaran and look for the classes you need as they come in and out. Everyone has to go to the bank at some point! I got this done in one hour.

Comment by Gunslinger

For your own faction only, you can use /who as follows:

/who z-"Major City" c-"Class" r-"Race"

I.e.,

/who z-"Dalaran" c-"Paladin" r-"Dwarf"

To make it easy on yourself, go to Ironforge. Half the time, the people are in the Auction House.

Comment by 220581

Did this as a level 53 rogue. Very enjoyable !

Comment by 271097

just glad winter veil is over... so annoying to walk down the street and get pelted by 20+ snowflakes just so people could get their achievement. I was going on my way and people would actually whisper me to wait! I would get on my mount and fly away before they could get me!

Comment by 111622

It could be easier... Blood Elf Paladin? Can't take 2 steps without seeing one of those nerds.

Comment by Reunilana

So far my best spot was Argent tornament.
Just wait till raid times and you will see lots of races standing there before they start to raid. Only problem is 1 min cooldown on item.

Comment by 295959

This year, you can't send items of limited duration (i.e. snowflakes) to another toon.

Comment by Jayl3w

This quest can be infinitely frustrating to some people.

I missed the chance of getting it done last year because, somehow, I went the entire length of the event without ever getting a SINGLE x5 of the snowflakes. To top this off, as of right now I've gotten nothing but Mistletoe this year having /kiss'd once every hour (dull day, just logged in about every hour to do it, then logged back out).

I'm willing to accept RNG as part of an MMO when it comes to combat, it's just the nature of the beast, but these ridiculous damned chances of being screwed out of an achievement for a year because of it is just ridiculous. Either make another way of getting the item required for this achievement or remove these kinds of achievements.

My luck is bad enough as it is, no need to rub it in.

Comment by 111622

Priests with the Snowflakes look very neat in Shadowform.

Comment by machorn

the easy way to find "hard" toons is creating alts, since you can create both ally/horde on same server its no problem.
Go to starter zone (dwarf for example) set window mode and launch another client (yes you can launch 2 wow clients on same computer) log on your account (you will be dc'd from your main toon) now create dwarf priest log and get back to 1st launched client and log in (do not logout from dwarf char cuz he will disapear) on your main char. Tadam the dwarf priest is still in game, oh and ofcourse you cant do this with dk (you will be need to complete q to get out from ebon hold)

In this way i completed Turkey Lurkey

Comment by 492639

2 weeks of searching and still no Orc Death Knight. *Sigh*

Comment by raleka

Anyone know why i keep buffing myself even when i am targetting another character?
So far wasted over 10 snowflakes doing this with no obvious explanation as to why.

Update:
Turned out it was an addon !
No idea which 1, but when i turned all of them off, it was fine :)

Comment by Azeara

Due to my own stupidity I forgot to go and find a Draenei Priest on one of my alts. And sadly I can confirm that it's only during Winter Veil (as the achievement says) that you can get this done. Had a spare snowflake but it didn't work. :(
