Fashion Frenzy is a Trial of Style type event in which you are given a theme and must dress your character up to match that theme. To do so, head to a nearby transmogrifier to dress your character up. When the dressing time expires, you’ll have a couple of minutes to grab a ribbon from the table to give to your favorite competitor.

Matching one mount awards the achievement I Have That One! Matching 20 mounts awards Mount Master.

Activities

These activities are always available and are not part of the rotating events schedule.

Pet Paradise

• Activity greeter: Petra (62.0, 50.1)

There is a Pet Box next to Petra that contains a Pet Mirror. This item allows you to take on the appearance of your currently summoned battle pet. Doing so for the first time will earn you the achievement Pet Mischief.

The Pet Disguise buff lasts for 10 minutes. While it’s active, you will be able to click on Zoomy Treats around the celebration grounds (they look like little loaves of bread). Each one will give you a stack of the Zoomies buff that lasts for 5 seconds. If you can maintain the buff for at least 20 seconds straight, you’ll earn the achievement Zoomies!

Photo Booth

• Activity greeter: Vanni Thorngage (62.8, 49.3)

This area is all set up for taking pictures! Clinkeasy is standing next to the activity greeter and can change the background of the set to a different theme: Anniversary, Alliance, Horde, or Default. There’s also a Chest of Props on the other side of the stairs that will allow you to borrow some Glasses, a Top Hat, a Mug, or a Toy Sword and Shield.

If the set isn’t a good enough background for you, there are three portals nearby that lead to scenic vistas. The locations these portals lead to rotate from day to day according to the current expansion theme. If you go through one, you’ll find a return portal on the other side for convenience. Visiting at least 10 vista locations by taking the vista portals will give the achievement Photo Op!

Below are all of the possible portal locations.

Costumes

All over the celebration grounds you’ll find replicas of famous weapons. Clicking on these items will grant you a 10-minute costume buff that gives you the appearance of a famous hero or villain from Warcraft’s history. You’ll also get a couple of special abilities that provide voiced dialogue from the character you’re cosplaying as.

The replicas spawn randomly in a number of possible locations. The particular replicas that spawn will be tied to the celebration’s expansion theme of the day. Here are some costumes you can find.

Balloons

You’ll find a balloon vendor close to the entrance of Caverns of Time with a bunch of mountable balloons floating nearby (64.2, 50.0). Ride any of these balloons for a few seconds to earn the Balloonist achievement. Ride one of each kind to get the Frequent Flyer achievement (Bronze, Dark Blue, Gold, and Light Blue). You can also earn progress toward your Celebrate Good Fun! daily quest by riding a balloon.

Ice Rink

There is a small ice rink at the western end of the celebration grounds (61.8, 51.3). You will slowly slide when you run on it. Doing this counts toward your Celebrate Good Fun! daily quest.

Scarab Gong
