Lunar Festival Event Guide

Vendors and Rewards

During the Lunar Festival, players are able to earn Coin of Ancestry by visiting Elders located throughout Azeroth and completing quests. Unlike most holiday currencies, Coins of Ancestry remain in your inventory after the Lunar Festival ends, so extras can be saved for next year.

Coins of Ancestry are used at vendors located in Moonglade. Valadar Starsong can be found at Nighthaven (54, 35), selling Lunar Festival-exclusive attire plus Horde and Alliance battle pets. Fariel Starsong is next to Valadar in Moonglade selling toys and profession schematics/recipes for festival items. Additionally, Lunar Festival Vendors can be found in major cities for all of your fireworks needs!

Activities

With so much to do and see, it can be overwhelming – we’ve got your back! The primary activities are defeating the raid boss Omen, quests to honor the elders, and collecting Coin of Ancestry to spend on different rewards.

Omen (Seasonal Boss)

Players are able to awaken and fight Omen, a demon found in Moonglade. Slumbering below Lake Elune’ara after being corrupted by the Burning Legion and defeated by heroes of Azeroth once before, the noise of celebration awakens him again.

Pick up the quest Elune’s Blessing from Valadar Starsong in Moonglade, then summon Omen by shooting off the event fireworks at the cluster launchers in Moonglade (64,61), or by shooting Elune’s Candle at the Minions of Omen who are roaming around near the same area. Upon defeat, celestial light will shine on Omen’s body. Receive Elune’s Blessing by standing in the pool of light, then return to Valadar to complete the quest and receive the toy Elune’s Lantern.

Note: You don’t need to be part of the raid group that slays him; standing in the light that appears will grant credit for the quest.

Honoring the Elders

There are 84 elders spread across Azeroth, each surrounded by a beam of light and accompanied by a quest marker. In addition to achievement progress and some gold, finding and honoring each will award:
