With so many sites and stores promoting commercialism and spending, it’s always refreshing to see fansites run contests that are in the true spirit of the season — altruism (and ad traffic, of course). In this case, WoW-Achievements.com is getting into the Winter Veil spirit with their Twelve Days of Grunty contest!
From December 13th to December 25th, the site is presenting one new WoW trivia question each day. A winner is chosen randomly from those who answer correctly, and each day a Grunty the Murloc Marine pet is awarded. No registration is necessary, and the questions are easily answerable with a quick Google search. If you didn’t get to go to BlizzCon ‘09, or if you didn’t order the livestream from DirecTV, this might be your only shot at getting Grunty in your digital stocking, save asking Santa. And I don’t think Santa does the whole eBay thing.
If you know of other sites running holiday contests, please let us know so we can make sure everybody gets a chance to cash in on the season of giving!

Pilgrim’s Bounty is a brand-new holiday that in 2009 will run between 1:00 am server time Sunday, November 22nd and 11:50 pm server time Saturday, November 28th. Because it’s new and there’s limited information available on it, expect to see this post updated extensively in the 24 hours after the holiday goes live. We’ll have new information on quests, items, and vendor locations, plus screenshots of WoW’s newest holiday.
As an FYI, Pilgrim’s Bounty is not part of the yearlong meta What A Long, Strange Trip It’s Been, so if you fall short on any of the achievements below, you’re not running the risk of having to wait another year for a crack at a violet protodrake. However, you will miss out on the Pilgrim title and plump turkey pet that are rewards for completing the Pilgrim meta.
Let’s get started!
“FOOD FIGHT!” (Alliance) and “FOOD FIGHT!” (Horde)
This is a pretty simple achievement that entails bouncing food off another player’s head at a Bountiful Table, which I assume will be accomplished via targeting them and right-clicking a food item in your bags or on the table itself.
