WoWGrrl's World

Metzen The Reindeer is a special mob available during the Winter Veil celebration on World of Warcraft.

The Story About Metzen

Apparently, Metzen was Reindeer-napped and is being held hostage with some magic spell held over him that you, the adventurer, are given a pouch of dust to negate, freeing Metzen from his bonds.

Where I Found Metzen The Reindeer

Well, first I looked in Thottbot, and then I ventured out on my own to see if his reported location had changed since last year.

It hadn't. He's still found in Searing Gorge (most easily reached by the Kargath/Badlands flight path for Horde) and I was standing at 68,34 when I talked to Metzen and selected the only selectable option which said something about sprinkling the dust over him.

The Rewards For Freeing Metzen The Reindeer

The main reward for freeing Metzen is the 5-stack of [Preserved Holly] that a player gets, but from there a repeatable quest is unlocked where the player can turn in Deeprock Salt for more [Preserved Holly].

[Preserved Holly] is, of course, that which is used to "morph" your existing mount into a Reindeer Mount for a while.

Stock up while you can! I was selling that stuff for 5g a pop all through September and October!
