Elders

From WoWWiki

Jump to: navigation, search

During the Lunar Festival, there will be 50 Elders spread around the world. Some are located in towns, some in instances, and some in the wild. Each gives you a Coin of Ancestry. Note that each Elder may tell you the location up to 5 other Elders in nearby zones. You can only receive one coin per Elder. The quests for receiving coins are reset from year to year (previously, some characters were affected by a bug that made seasonal quests unrepeatable in subsequent years, but this issue has been corrected. i.e. The quests have been reset in 2008 and are all "re-doable". They were not reset in 2007. It is expected that they will be reset for 2009).

Coins of Ancestry can be turned in for several tailoring and engineering patterns, as well as other items. Each coin you receive also generates 75 faction with either the Horde or Alliance for a total of 3750 for most races and 4125 for humans if all 50 coins are gathered. Furthermore, each Elder you visit will send you a letter via in-game mail which contains fireworks or an Elder's Moonstone and a +250 health buff.

World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King Through the Achievements system, players are rewarded for participating in the Lunar Festival. 160 achievement points are available through 14 achievements, in addition, talking to all of the elders rewards the player with the "Elder" title.

Walkthrough for All Coins: Alliance

You should have Hearthstone set to Shattrath City, and use the portal to Ironforge.

This is fairly easily doable at lvl 70 solo. Even instances like LBRS you can just walk past most of the mobs. The only real challenge is the enemy racial cities where buffed guards and enemy faction players can make achieving your goal difficult.

START AT IRONFORGE
  1. Ironforge - Mystic Ward
    Image:Pointer flight on 32x32.pngFly gryphon to Thorium Point
  2. Searing Gorge - Southwest corner in Blackchar Cave: [21, 79]
  3. Blackrock Spire - After a few pulls into LBRS, the Elder will be across the first wooden bridge.
  4. Blackrock Depths - In the middle of the Ring of Law.
  5. Burning Steppes - Flame Crest (that cave with the Libram guy): [64, 24]
  6. Burning Steppes - On top of Dreadmaul Rock north of Morgan's Vigil: [82, 46]
  7. Stormwind - The Park [21, 54]
  8. Elwynn Forest - In Goldshire, behind blacksmith: [39, 63]
  9. Westfall - Atop the Sentinel Hill tower: [56, 47]
    Image:Pointer flight on 32x32.pngFly gryphon to Nethergarde Keep (via Sentinel Hill)
  10. Blasted Lands - Just North of the Dark Portal: [57, 54]
  11. Sunken Temple, Swamp of Sorrows - Head left when you zone-in. Go up the set of stairs, kill the first set of dragon, and enter the main room with all the dragons. The Elder is in the Northeast alcove.
    Image:Pointer flight on 32x32.pngFly (via Nethergarde) or ride to Rebel Camp
  12. Stranglethorn Vale - Outside Zul'Gurub zone-in: [53, 18]
  13. Stranglethorn Vale - Above the bank in Booty Bay: [26, 76]
    Take the boat to Ratchet
    Because this continent is more horde friendly you will basically follow this route on your mount rather than searching out flight points.
  14. The Barrens - In Ratchet, behind the bank: [62, 36]
  15. Orgrimmar - Valley of Wisdom: [40, 34] (Luckily for you, Orgrimmar is the largest horde city. And just like in Ironforge, the most crowded places is the bank, the mailbox and the auction house. Orgrimmar has two entrances. One in the south, and one in the west. You would like to enter the western entrance, since this is the entrance with the least players, however you still have to outrun guards!)
  16. Durotar - Razor Hill: [53, 43]
  17. The Barrens - Crossroads: [51, 30]
  18. The Barrens - Camp Taurajo: [45, 57]
  19. Mulgore - North end of Bloodhoof Village by bridge: [48, 53]
  20. Thunderbluff - Elder Rise: [72, 23] (Unlike Orgrimmar, Thunder Bluff is not a very big city, therefore you are much more likely to meet enemy players. However, Thunderbluff is just as popular city as Darnassus is, and therefore you have great chances of not being outnumbered. (At least not by anything more than lvl 15 tauren druids) Enter by the north lift, and go east towards the elder rise.)
  21. Thousand Needles - In Freewind Post: [45, 50]
  22. Thousand Needles - In Shimmering Flats by Mirage Raceway: [79, 77]
  23. Tanaris - In Gadgetzan: [51, 27]
  24. Zul'Farrak - In Gahz'rilla's room by the gong.

  26. Un'goro Crater - By Slithering Scar, above ground: [50, 76]
  27. Silithus - Northwest in the Crystal Vale: [23, 11]
  28. Silithus - In Cenarion Hold: [50, 36]

  29. Dun Morogh - In Kharanos by the inn: [46, 51]
  30. Loch Modan - In Thelsamar: [33, 46]

  36. Stratholme - North of the Festival Lane mailbox. Enter through the back door. Make your first left in the instance, go through the gate, turn right, and the Elder will be standing at the back.
  37. Tirisfal Glades - Slightly south of the town of Brill: [61, 53]
  38. Silverpine Forest - By The Sepulcher: [45, 41]
  39. Undercity - In the middle of Undercity, above ground: [66, 38]
    While in Undercity, use the [Lunar Festival Invitation] to port to Moonglade
    Image:Pointer flight on 32x32.pngFly to Everlook
  40. Winterspring - In Everlook: [61, 37]
  41. Winterspring - Ruins of Kel'Theril, southwest of Everlook: [55, 43]
    Image:Pointer flight on 32x32.pngFly to Emerald Sanctuary

    Image:Pointer flight on 32x32.pngFly to Nijel's Point
