What Horrible Presents, done faster.

[Tinyfin]

As most of you know that played during the event, you stumbled on the frustrating quest that asks you to destroy 5 presents. The awful part is that only the first person to tag this present, get awarded and the spawn rate is incredibly low. It's said its hotfixed but soon shows it being awfull again. Here I have some tips and tricks.

1. Cross Realm Assist. An addon that lets you hop realms. Pick a realm less populated.
2. Group up. If one person manages to tag a present, the whole party gets awarded for it. Theoretically increases your progress 5 times faster.
3. Spam click. When you throw one of these bombs, it has a casting time. If you click on the icon again during this casting time, you're able to throw one again instead of waiting a 5 second cooldown. This way you can spam throw a certain location and still have a bomb ready to throw once you see one spawn.
4. Macro it! They are targetable so here goes:
/tar Unusual Gift
/stopmacro [noexists]
/script SetRaidTarget("target",8 ) <-- remove the space between the 8 and ) (Ownedcore shows it as the smiley kek)
/use spirit bomb

I hope it helps some of you and hopefully they'll do something about this quest.

So i've heard. though I still hear battle tag friends about it, seeming not every realm is affected yet.

i had an battle net client update one hour ago, and had to restart battle net, maybe this helps?

tried it here on EU Der Mithrilorden and EU Dun Morogh both are fine now

I'll look into it later. At least the guide is still somewhat useful if so with the macro and spam-click trick. I'll update later!
