The '''Midsummer Fire Festival''' is a seasonal event that celebrates the hottest season of the year. It starts on the (earthly) northern summer [[wikipedia:solstice|solstice]], and lasts about two weeks (June 21 - July 4). It is similar to the [[Lunar Festival]] and other holidays, featuring some useful buffs, food, and toys to play with.

This item drops from [[Coldlight Oracle]]s and [[Coldlight Hunter]]s. It starts the quest {{quest|Enormous Eel Egg}}.

From [http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/events/midsummer/ Midsummer Fire Festival] on the official website:
  +
  +
:''Ah, so you weren't chosen for Flamekeeper this year? Don't fret, my friend! The Midsummer Fire Festival isn't merely about that traditional honor; it's a time of merriment, a chance to celebrate the hottest season of the year by lighting great fires across the land and sharing in what the elemental spirits can offer. Come to our camps and join in the revelry!''
  +
  +
The ending of the Festival seems to have been merged with the [[Engineers' Explosive Extravaganza]] holiday:
  +
  +
:''The lengthy Midsummer Fire Festival traditionally ends with the sky itself being set alight. The goblins of Undermine have lent their considerable skill (and copious amounts of gunpowder) to the task, resulting in a tremendous fireworks show! Take up a festival mug and raise a toast to the season as the multicolored explosions dance across the sky above you!''
  +
  +
== Buffs ==
  +
[[Image:OrgMid2.jpg|right|thumb|279px|Touching the Ribbon Pole gives a 3 minute buff increasing earned experience by 10%. Up to 60 minutes can be stacked.]]
  +
* Using Ribbon Poles causes a colorful streamer of energy to go to your hand and causes you to dance. This gives a 3-minute [[Ribbon Dance]] buff increasing earned experience by 10%. This buff stacks up to 20 times (60 minutes), increasing its duration by 3 minutes for every 3 seconds you keep dancing around the pole.
  +
* When thrown into a festival fire, Burning Blossoms give you a buff [[Fire Festival Fury]], 3% critical strike and spell critical strike rating for sixty minutes as well as causing fire damage to attackers.
  +
* If a bonfire has gone out, tossing a Burning Blossom in it will provide a zone-wide buff, [[Bonfire's Blessing]], that gives you a 30% chance to inflict (<your level> x 10) Fire damage on any melee, ranged, or spell attack. Bonfire's Blessing is capable of delivering a critical hit with 100% additional damage and is affected by bonus spell damage. This buff goes away if the opposite faction desecrates the bonfire.
  +
* Special flame samples can be collected from the bonfires in each of the four main cities of the opposing faction. Each sample will begin a quest called "Stealing the [City]'s Flame." Upon completing each quest, everyone in the capital city will receive [[Fire Festival Fortitude]], a +30 stamina buff. Once all 4 have been collected and returned to a Festival representative, you receive the quest {{quest|A Thief's Reward}} and are rewarded with the [[Crown of the Fire Festival]].
  +

  +
  +
== Burning Blossom redemption ==
  +
Below are the items you can purchase with [[Burning Blossom]] at [[Midsummer Supplier]]s and [[Midsummer Merchant]]s. You can get 20 Blossoms every day through daily quests and 702 (H)/692 (A) Blossoms from the other quests. It is not possible to get all rewards in one year if you farm the maximum possible amount of Blossoms.

Quest chains:
  +
{{:Quest:Unusual Activity}}
  +
  +
=== Lord Ahune ===
  +
A new chain of quests was added to the game, beginning at a {{NPC|Alliance|Festival Loremaster}} / {{NPC|Horde|Festival Talespinner}}. The end of the chain culminates in a daily quest to summon [[Lord Ahune]], a new boss in the [[Slave Pens]].
  +
  +
=== Bonfires ===
  +
{{seealso|Alliance Bonfire|Horde Bonfire}}
  +
  +
The {{NPC||Flame Warden}} at each of your own faction's bonfires offers you {{quest|Honor the Flame}}.
  +
  +
Right-clicking a bonfire of the opposite faction offers {{quest|Desecrate this Fire!}}. The act of dousing a bonfire does not pull guards (though they will aggro as normal based on range and level - [[Wildhammer Stronghold]] in [[Shadowmoon Valley]] requires a flying mount or stealth to avoid aggro), making this a fast and easy way to generate money and Burning Blossoms. Be warned that dousing the opposite faction's bonfire will flag you for [[PVP]] combat.
  +
  +
The bonfires of capital cities have separate quests, and you cannot Honor the Flame of your own faction's Capitals.
  +
  +
There are a grand total of 86 bonfires across the four continents: 42 Horde, 44 Alliance. Excluding the 4 capital cities on each side, that leaves 38 and 40.
  +
*Alliance: <math>38*10+40*5+4*25=680</math> total Burning Blossoms available
  +
*Horde: <math>38*5+40*10+4*25=690</math> total Burning Blossoms available
  +
  +
See {{quest|Midsummer Bonfires (Horde)|Horde}} and {{quest|Midsummer Bonfires (Alliance)|Alliance}} for suggested routes.

Previously, the Reveler set items could be used to get [[Burning Hot Pole Dance]] and then returned (within 2 hours of purchase) for a full refund, allowing you to use those Blossoms for other purchases. In 2010, Festival Garb ([[Mantle of the Fire Festival]] [[Vestment of Summer]] [[Sandals of Summer]]) is no longer refundable, so spend your Blossoms wisely!
  +
  +
=== 2009 issues ===
  +
When the Midsummer event started, flags for completion of the quests in 2008 had not been reset, preventing those who had completed one-time quests in 2008 from getting those quests and gathering Burning Blossoms. Further, characters above level 70 did not have a version of the quest {{quest|Striking Back}}.

This fix allowed anyone who had already completed any bonfire quests in 2009 before the fix was applied to gather more Blossoms that year than are usually available. Completed achievements were not revoked, but partially completed ones lost all progress. The {{quest|Striking Back (level 67)|Striking Back}} quest for 67-70 characters was extended to 67-80, once again allowing 20 Blossoms per day from daily quests.
  +
  +
While the initial patch was to have reset all event quests, it proved incomplete in many cases. Many reported being unable to complete the "city flames" quests for Exodar and Silvermoon despite being able to repeat those for other cities. At least one realm was not reset properly the first time, and further issues were found. A number of players have continued to have problems with the Exodar and Silvermoon city flame quests.

Midsummer Fire Festival
Midsummer Fire Festival
Duration June 21st - July 4th
Currency Inv summerfest fireflower [Burning Blossom]
Boss Mob Lord Ahune <The Frost Lord>
Highlights Fireworks, Bonfires
Other events
Preceded by Children's Week
Followed by Pirates' Day

The Midsummer Fire Festival is a seasonal event that celebrates the hottest season of the year. It starts on the (earthly) northern summer solstice, and lasts about two weeks (June 21 - July 4). It is similar to the Lunar Festival and other holidays, featuring some useful buffs, food, and toys to play with.

It was introduced in Patch 1.11, and given a major revamp in June 2008.

From Midsummer Fire Festival on the official website:

Ah, so you weren't chosen for Flamekeeper this year? Don't fret, my friend! The Midsummer Fire Festival isn't merely about that traditional honor; it's a time of merriment, a chance to celebrate the hottest season of the year by lighting great fires across the land and sharing in what the elemental spirits can offer. Come to our camps and join in the revelry!

The ending of the Festival seems to have been merged with the Engineers' Explosive Extravaganza holiday:

The lengthy Midsummer Fire Festival traditionally ends with the sky itself being set alight. The goblins of Undermine have lent their considerable skill (and copious amounts of gunpowder) to the task, resulting in a tremendous fireworks show! Take up a festival mug and raise a toast to the season as the multicolored explosions dance across the sky above you!

Buffs

File:OrgMid2.jpg

Touching the Ribbon Pole gives a 3 minute buff increasing earned experience by 10%. Up to 60 minutes can be stacked.

  • Using Ribbon Poles causes a colorful streamer of energy to go to your hand and causes you to dance. This gives a 3-minute Inv summerfest symbol medium [Ribbon Dance] buff increasing earned experience by 10%. This buff stacks up to 20 times (60 minutes), increasing its duration by 3 minutes for every 3 seconds you keep dancing around the pole.
  • When thrown into a festival fire, Burning Blossoms give you a buff Inv misc summerfest brazierorange [Fire Festival Fury], 3% critical strike and spell critical strike rating for sixty minutes as well as causing fire damage to attackers.
  • If a bonfire has gone out, tossing a Burning Blossom in it will provide a zone-wide buff, Spell fire flameshock [Bonfire's Blessing], that gives you a 30% chance to inflict (<your level> x 10) Fire damage on any melee, ranged, or spell attack. Bonfire's Blessing is capable of delivering a critical hit with 100% additional damage and is affected by bonus spell damage. This buff goes away if the opposite faction desecrates the bonfire.
  • Special flame samples can be collected from the bonfires in each of the four main cities of the opposing faction. Each sample will begin a quest called "Stealing the [City]'s Flame." Upon completing each quest, everyone in the capital city will receive Inv summerfest firespirit [Fire Festival Fortitude], a +30 stamina buff. Once all 4 have been collected and returned to a Festival representative, you receive the quest A Thief's Reward and are rewarded with the Inv helmet 96 [Crown of the Fire Festival].

Burning Blossom redemption

Below are the items you can purchase with Inv summerfest fireflower [Burning Blossom] at Midsummer Suppliers and Midsummer Merchants. You can get 20 Blossoms every day through daily quests and 702 (H)/692 (A) Blossoms from the other quests. It is not possible to get all rewards in one year if you farm the maximum possible amount of Blossoms.

Quests

OrgMidSymbol

The symbol of the Midsummer Fire Festival.

Midsummer2

Midsummer decorations

[Burning Blossoms] can be earned through a variety of quests. The blossoms can be consumed for a small buff or saved for a variety of items including the [Brazier of Dancing Flames] or the [Captured Flame].

Daily quests:

  1. A [1-80] Torch Tossing
  2. A [1-80] Torch Catching
  1. H [1-80] Torch Tossing
  2. H [1-80] Torch Catching

Quest chains:

  1. N [1-70] Unusual Activity
  2. N [1-70] An Innocent Disguise
  3. N [1-70] Inform the Elder

Players then are given access to quests based on their level:

Lord Ahune

A new chain of quests was added to the game, beginning at a Alliance Festival Loremaster / Horde Festival Talespinner. The end of the chain culminates in a daily quest to summon Lord Ahune, a new boss in the Slave Pens.

Bonfires

See also: Alliance Bonfire, Horde Bonfire

The Flame Warden at each of your own faction's bonfires offers you Honor the Flame.

Right-clicking a bonfire of the opposite faction offers Desecrate this Fire!. The act of dousing a bonfire does not pull guards (though they will aggro as normal based on range and level - Wildhammer Stronghold in Shadowmoon Valley requires a flying mount or stealth to avoid aggro), making this a fast and easy way to generate money and Burning Blossoms. Be warned that dousing the opposite faction's bonfire will flag you for PVP combat.

The bonfires of capital cities have separate quests, and you cannot Honor the Flame of your own faction's Capitals.

There are a grand total of 86 bonfires across the four continents: 42 Horde, 44 Alliance. Excluding the 4 capital cities on each side, that leaves 38 and 40.

  • Alliance: total Burning Blossoms available
  • Horde: total Burning Blossoms available

See Horde and Alliance for suggested routes.

{{#widget:ScribbleMap|mapid=midsummer09}}

Interactive maps of the bonfire locations can be found at scribblemaps and WyriMaps.

Stealing the Cities' Flames

Each faction can loot the Flames of the opposing faction's cities, each of which starts a quest. Stealing all four cities flames will offer the quest N [1-80] A Thief's Reward.

Horde

Alliance

Reward: [Crown of the Fire Festival] (no bonuses).

History

2010

Previously, the Reveler set items could be used to get Ability mage firestarter [Burning Hot Pole Dance] and then returned (within 2 hours of purchase) for a full refund, allowing you to use those Blossoms for other purchases. In 2010, Festival Garb (Inv shoulder 23 [Mantle of the Fire Festival] Inv chest cloth 72 [Vestment of Summer] Inv boots cloth 20 [Sandals of Summer]) is no longer refundable, so spend your Blossoms wisely!

2009 issues

When the Midsummer event started, flags for completion of the quests in 2008 had not been reset, preventing those who had completed one-time quests in 2008 from getting those quests and gathering Burning Blossoms. Further, characters above level 70 did not have a version of the quest Striking Back.

We are in the process of applying an in-game fix that will restart all of the quests associated with the Midsummer Fire Festival event and allow players to complete them once again. If you are in the process of completing an achievement such as Extinguishing Kalimdor, this fix will reset your progress and you will need start over. This fix will require realms to be restarted.

This fix allowed anyone who had already completed any bonfire quests in 2009 before the fix was applied to gather more Blossoms that year than are usually available. Completed achievements were not revoked, but partially completed ones lost all progress. The Striking Back quest for 67-70 characters was extended to 67-80, once again allowing 20 Blossoms per day from daily quests.

While the initial patch was to have reset all event quests, it proved incomplete in many cases. Many reported being unable to complete the "city flames" quests for Exodar and Silvermoon despite being able to repeat those for other cities. At least one realm was not reset properly the first time, and further issues were found. A number of players have continued to have problems with the Exodar and Silvermoon city flame quests.

The ending fireworks are reminiscent of the Independence Day holiday celebrated in the United States.
