The Lunar Festival Quest
The Horde and Alliance honor the ancestors of Azeroth across Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms. A celebration takes place in Moonglade, offering numerous Coin of Ancestry quests to complete and collect. With these, players in the WoW Season of Discovery can get festive garb, profession patterns, and fireworks.
- If you complete the Lunar Festival World Quests you will earn the "To Honor One's Elders" meta-achievement, part of the "What A Long, Strange Trip It's Been" achievement.

Lunar Emissary and Lunar Herald
The Lunar Emissary for the Alliance and the Lunar Herald for the Horde give the first quests in this WoW holiday festival. These quests can be picked up from the six major cities in World of Warcraft, and they'll give you 5 Cenarion Circle Reputation. You can skip these quests and head to the main Lunar Festival areas in WoW SoD.
| Alliance / Lunar Emissary | Darnassus, near the bank and in the Cenarion Enclave (/ way 42, 44) |

| Horde / Lunar Emissary | Thunder Bluff, near the main lift (/ way 38, 63) |
| Horde / Lunar Emissary | Undercity, near the bank (/ way 67, 43) |
Lunar Festival Harbinger
The Lunar Festival Harbinger is located in the primary Lunar Festival areas of each of the six major cities in World of Warcraft Classic, where the Elders assigned to each city can also be found. This starts the quest line that will give you access to Moonglade.
- Darnassus, Cenarion Enclave (/ way 32, 12)

Lunar Fireworks & Valadar Starsong Quests
The picked-up Lunar Fireworks quest will ask you to launch 8 Lunar Fireworks, along with 2 Cluster Fireworks. Afterward, you'll have to return to a Lunar Festival Harbinger in any capital city.
These Lunar Fireworks can be bought from a Lunar Festival Vendor, near the Lunar Festival Harbingers.
WoW Classic players have to buy 8 Small Rockets and 2 Rocket Clusters. The color is not important; you can pick any. Feel free to launch them wherever you want.
After you're done and turn in the Lunar Firework Quest, you'll receive 50 Reputation with the Cenarion Circle and the Lunar Festival Invitation. This invitation is imporant because it will take you to Moonglade.
WoW players have to go into the empty moonlight in the middle of the Lunar Festival area and click on the Lunar Festival Invitation. They will be immediately teleported to Moonglade. By following the road heading north, you'll reach Valadar Starsong, completing the Valadar Starsong quest. He will start four quests that allow you to purchase special event items.
- The invitation is active for 24 hours, and the teleportation can be used as much as you need.
- When the Lunar Festival Invitation disappears, you can just redo the Lunar Fireworks Quest.

Elune's Blessing Raid Quest: Omen
Elune's Blessing quest asks you to summon Omen and defeat him. Once you're done, you'll have to return to Valadar Starsong. However, beating Omen won't be easy, as he is a raid-level boss requiring large numbers of players to defeat him. Summon him at the Stormrage Barrow Dens by launching around 20 Cluster Rockets and killing his minions.
To receive the Elune's Blessing buff, WoW SoD players have to stand over the defeated boss for a few seconds.
- Tip: If you get there when Omen is already defeated, all you have to do is stand over his body to complete the quest. No need to beat him yourself or join the battle!
What are Coins of Ancestry in WoW Classic?
The focus of the Lunar Festival involves paying visits to Elders, found in Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms. Each Elder gives SoD players a quest that grants a reward of one Coin of Ancestry and boosts either Horde or Alliance reputation by 50. In a few hours, you will also receive a Lucky Red Envelope with a Lucky Rocket Cluster or Elder's Moonstone.
- Each Elder can only be visited once during the Lunar Festival.
