Is it needed for the proto-drake line?

I got my merrymaker title last year, and I just noticed this was added.

Seems to me, if they keep adding things, no one is gonna get thier drake.

Commento di 171534

This achievement isn't part of the Winterveil me ta achievement, and the entirety of the new Thanksgiving them ed achievements don't count for the Violet Proto Drake's meta achievement either.

Commento di ohfauxshow

pelt with what?

Commento di 146819

I can already see people lining up for their chance to shoot Varian and Mekkatorque.

Commento di echo808

i wonder if you can pelt King Varian at the tournament...and the others during ToC (if you can reach).

Commento di 66491

The whole achievement's text is wrong--you're supposed to skin them and bring back their pelts to Thrall. *nods*

Quoted from the Winter Veil Guide for 2009
https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/guide=winter-veil

This achievement is new for 2009's Winter Veil festival, and involves what players speculate to be this year's special Winter Veil Gift. For this achievement, you will have to use your newly acquired BB gun (presumably) to pelt each of the opposing faction's leaders - how mean! First snowballs, now BBs? What ever happened to respecting authority? Not exactly sure how you're going to get out there safely to pull this one off just yet, maybe there will be some sort of training ground and you don't have to shoot the actual NPCs.

This is NOT a requirement for Winter Veil.

This is done by using

(This item is not on wowhead at this time)

You get this item from one of the presents under the tree during winter veil.

When you hit someone of these bosses with your Red Rider Air Rifle They Will aggro so better watch out!
Best macro to do this thing is:

#showtooltip
/cleartarget
/tar Tyrande
/tar Anduin
/tar Muradin
/tar Prophet
/stopmacro
/use Red Rider Air Rifle

Theres only 200charges so Remember to use them wisely! ^^

Edit: Macro and bullet can miss
Edit: link to the item
Edit: As Catalysm came you dont need to shoot High Tinker anymore.
Edit: As of Legion Varian is no longer part of us so Macro has been changed Accordingly

Commento di Smilomaniac

Please note that sometimes this MISSES, and also that cast gets interrupted when you get hit.
Making this for a pretty annoying achievement.

When you "miss" the faction leader will get a "startled - did someone shoot at me?" debuff, and it wont tick towards achievement.

It's already an aggravating achievement, but the cast-time and miss-chance are just ridiculous...

Commento di 101671

Really annoying achivment - when shoting boss he will aggro, so you probably die several times trying to do this (esspecialy if u can miss with your rifle).

Commento di Veilside9999

The gun seems to still use the old Hunter 'Dead Zone' meaning that you cant be closer than 8 yards or then gun wont fire.

It doesn't use your hit rating to calculate the hit/miss. Im a level 80 hit capped hunter and i missed when shooting at Gamon.

Questions is does this work on the NPCs in Tournament Grounds?

It's All Fun and Games....!
Lets go shoot C'thun <3

Commento di 447938

Be prepared for lots and lots and lots of corpse runs if you don't have a raid with you.

Commento di Icecoldcoke

This achievement is not required for the meta, so you don't have to do it unless you want 10 achievement points to increase the length of your epeen a little bit.

The gun can only be used on HOSTILE targets, which means you cannot go to argent tournament and use it on them to get credit for the achievement. You must actually run through each city and use it. The gun also does 1 damage to the target it is used on, so it will aggro the boss and you will probably die.

Commento di arissa

To do this achievement you have to use the Red Rider Air Rifle (not in the database yet) on enemy leaders. You get the rifle from a present under the tree in Orgrimmar.
This means, you'll be going into their cities and using the rifle on them. It DOESN'T work to shoot the NPC's in ToC.
One thing you must know about this rifle is that when you shoot the boss, it will most probably aggro you. Another thing is that, IT CAN MISS, so make sure you check the achievement before leaving that city. I'd recommend shooting it a few times to be safe. The cast is not instant, although it's quick. I assume it can be interrupted/slowed if you are hit by the guards.

Here is the route that I took:
Start off in Orgrimmar, fly to Zoram'gar in Ashenvale (or Bloodvenom Post in Felwood if you have a way to fall down safely). Go to Auberdine, take the boat to Azuremyst Isle (Exodar). Locate Prophet Velen and use the rifle on him. Escape Exodar (or corpse run, if you were unlucky), go back to Darkshore, and take the boat to Darnassus. Here you will use the rifle on Tyrande Whisperwind, and go right back to the boat in Darkshore. Again, you'll be taking the boat, this time to Stormwind. King Varian was the hardest one for me - he hits like a truck :) Be careful there. From Stormwind, take the tram to Ironforge. High Tinker is right outside of the tram, and King Magni near the Great Forge. Magni was the second hardest boss to survive at.

Remember to use the gun a few times just to be safe. I did this in a group of two, died three times - guess it's unavoidable in a smaller group.
Good luck! :)

Plan on dying a lot. 80 hunter, hit capped and still missed a few. Died as least twice per king, total repair bill 176G. :(

Turn on the achievement "Track" feature. Then you will know if you hit right away.

2. Darnassus - Tyrande Whisperwind <High Priestess of Elune> (39,81)

- Go back to Darkshore and take the boat to Stormwind

3. Stormwind - King Varian Wrynn <King of Stormwind> (79,38)

- Go inside "The Tramp" (Which is at ~~76, 30~~ edit: 66, 33) and go to Ironforge

4. Ironforge - High Tinker Mekkatorque <King of Gnomes> (69,49)

- Last NPC is inside the same city.

5. Ironforge - King Magni Bronzebeard <Lord of Ironforge> (39, 55)

Just click on the NPC then use your on them.

i was disappointed... no compass in the stock or thing which tells time. maybe next year...

Commento di babyzack

please note that when you get your gifts those are actually quests that count for the quests achievement but not for the kalimdor or eastern kingdom ones

Commento di rodmin

A curiosity: The gun has a range of 25 yards. While i was playing with a mob's range i saw that the gun's range was bigger than Holy Shock and lower than Exorcism.

Commento di LittleMikey

For the record you can't shoot King Varian Wrynn inside ToC, you need to go to stormwind and shoot him.

Commento di triggz

Just completed this solo without dying once (rogue).

Tips for horde rogues (and probably druids, possibly hunter feign, mage invis, pally bubble, etc with careful usage):

Tyrande Whisperwind(Darnassus):
Stand directly in front of her at max range, shoot, then sprint forwards/to the right and leap over the edge and head out the door and vanish. You should drop combat and nothing will follow you. Pretty easy.

Prophet Velen(Exodar):
Walk between them and get on the ledge behind them, shoot, and sprint/leap off the ledge. The hardest part here is finding a corner of the zone far enough away to not spawn guards when you kill the last ones on you. I don't know anything about exodar so I just kited them all over the rising platforms and jumped off until I found a corner where I had 1 guard alone to kill away from a guard-spawning area and finished it. Gouge/spam crippling to get distance, lotta guards follow you here.

King Varian Wrynn(Stormwind):
Go into the room with the Bishop on the right, sap a guard and fire at Varian. He'll charge you and you'll get mass-rushed and almost get one-shotted. Trinket the stun, sprint and vanish/run to the far right corner of the room and kill the 1 guard who will be left on you. Evasion/gouge/CloS glyphed as pain supression are your friend.

King Magni Bronzebeard(Ironforge):
Simple, sap the guard next to the tree, open fire, sprint out the door and head left through the giant opening into the mystic ward. One guard will remain to kill and combat will drop.

High Tinker Mekkatorque(Ironforge):
Definitely the easiest for anyone. Pop 'em and hit the instance portal to Deeprun Tram.

WTS one slightly used BB gun.

"Right in the Eye"

I got stunned twice in a row. Couldn't figure out why until I looked in my combat log.
I think there's a random chance to get hit "Right in the Eye" with your own gun (reference to The Christmas Story" movie).

Careful kid... You'll shoot your eye out with that thing!

Commento di Antman

As a hunter its possible to use Deterrance at the same time as u are shooting.

Commento di ExEvolution

This is actually pretty annoying to do. The gun misses, a lot I might add. I had to run back 3 times between deaths for bronzebeard, and 5 times for whisperwind because the gun kept missing and once they're in melee range, you can't shoot it anymore.

Misses much more than standard 8% miss versus bosses, and to make matters worse, being hit capped has no bearing on whether it will hit or not.

The gun also has a chance to missfire, and when it does, you will get a debuff Right in the Eye! and be stunned for 5 seconds. Very deadly when trying to pelt a leader. This gun is much more harmful to you than anything you can target with it.

Commento di Tripan

If you are doing this solo It can be hard to get a shot off before getting killed. When you go after Prophet Velen there are some boxes stacked on each other near Velen. Jump up on top of them and when you rez you will not aggro any mobs giving you one or two good shots which is all it should take. If you stand at the foot of the ramp in Ironforge when getting King Magni it should give you enough time to shoot him once or if your a lock, get off a Howl of Terror and then pop him while they are running.

Commento di wye43

The used for this achievement has a max range of 25 yards.
I fired it 7 times, and it missed 2.

Commento di AngelOfDeath

Just curious, can this achievement be done not during Winter Veil?

Commento di 507347

Just so you guys know the Stun from when you shoot yourself in the eye can be clicked off as if it were a buff.

Commento di forever86d

Solo'd it as a 80 Enhance Shaman with a GS of aprox 4.5
Died 4 times, took a few hours
Started in fel wood, jumped down the river to aluberdine.
took ship to Terisdal,
Then Exodar
then to storm wind
and finally Ironforge.

The elementals, wolves, earth bind, and stoneclaw helped greatly

Instant cast ghost wolf, and Water walking, and the breath buffs helped greatly in storm wind

Commento di Jzc136

So since this achievement does not say "... during Winter Veil", I take that it can be done anytime as long as we have the gun...

Commento di 338904

I hate stupid achievements like this.

"Go into the enemy city and DIE."

That's not a #$%^ing achievement. You're not "achieving" anything.

Santa Claus: "You'll shoot your eye out, kid. Merry Christmas! Ho, ho, ho!"

Commento di 438491

Like a few other faction achievments, you loose this if you change to alliance. You do not get the alliance version instead. As someone who has just transfered, I'm dissapointed to of lost so many and would never of transfered had I realised how much you loose (argent tournament dailies starting from scratch again is the worst).

Commento di 542326

lol... so this is what "BB king" is

the last achievement this guy haven't done http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=228680

Commento di Samphis

I just managed to finish this off, and other than a rogue camping me in Ironforge, I didn't have much trouble. I doubled it up with the Elders of the Alliance achievement for the Lunar Festival

One item that was invaluable for getting around Stormwind as a Horde player was the Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole to enable me to be able to breathe underwater in the canals and get around the city (for the most part) undetected.

Also, I found out that you can be polymorphed into a sheep while swimming.

not a really usefull guide except for the coordinates of the leaders.

Commento di Arccai

And how exactly is this gonna be possible without the Rifle in classic wotlk?
There are no Toy Vendors in Orgrimmar, and the ones in Dalaran does not sell it.

Commento di iwua

Get the rifle from a present under the tree on Christmas, err, Winter Veil day.

Go to each leader: I flew to Felwood, took the boat to Exodar, then to Darnassus, then hearthed to Dal to port to Org, fly to Ratchet, boat to Booty Bay, then use the transporter to Gnomeregan. Run to Ironforge, then to Stormwind.

As a druid, I was able to stealth to each leader - except I got seen by Varian or one of his guards as I was considering where to take my shot.

I also missed Magni once and Varian twice (!) - which really stinks, because the graveyard run to Varian is all the way in the Eastvale logging camp.

Make sure you actually hit the leader before heading to the next one - though the Achievement progress tracking isn't reliable. I hit Magni ("1 damage"), but the tracker didn't show credit for it until I did a /reload.

Lots of deaths. Glad I stripped off my gear for this one - though maybe +Hit gear would be worth it?

Commento di sseeaann

Make sure to check that it's registered after each king. Get to somewhere safe (eg Ironforge tram), reload the interface (it doesn't refresh the achievement automatically), check it. It took me 4 attempts for High Tinker Mekkatorque, it didn't register that I hit him for whatever reason, despite clearly showing it in the combat log as 1 Physical damage.
