ObjectivesEdit

Acquire some Bread of the Dead and give it to the Cheerful Spirit in <zone>'s graveyard. Use an [Orange Marigold] to see the otherwise invisible spirit.

•  [Bread of the Dead]

DescriptionEdit

It's good to visit with friends and family again, though I may have overdone it... I've already eaten everything they made for me!

Might I trouble you for some more of that delicious Bread of the Dead? I'd be most grateful...

Chapman there sells the recipe, I think.

RewardsEdit

You will receive: [Macabre Marionette]

ProgressEdit

You don't have any Bread of the Dead, do you?

CompletionEdit

Ah, more delicious Bread of the Dead, thank you!

Please, take this in return... a little something fun for the holiday.

GainsEdit

Players gain experience based on their level (scaling to 22,050 XP/13 23 at level 80)

NotesEdit

• Characters must be in their own capital city's graveyard (i.e. humans in Stormwind, tauren in Thunder Bluff, etc.), or in a neutral city such as Dalaran or Shattrath City.
• Characters are required to be under the effects of Flowers of the Dead to see the cheerful spirits. Either the [Orange Marigold]s or [Bouquet of Orange Marigolds] will suffice.
• The Ghostly Cooking Fire is next to the table behind Chapman and Catrina.
• [Ice Cold Milk] is sold by any innkeeper and [Simple Flour] is sold by cooking and trade goods suppliers.
• Until the hotfix, there was a bug that resulted in many Day of the Dead items disappearing from player inventories. This has since been corrected

Patches and hotfixesEdit

 Hotfix (2009-11-01): A hotfix has been applied which will prevent various Day of the Dead items from disappearing while changing zones or retrieving items from the mail.
Patch 3.2.2a (2009-09-25): Added
