Firework

Fireworks are pyrotechnic devices used primarily for aesthetic and entertainment purposes. They generally produce an in-game animated firework display and/or noise, but usually both. Fireworks are very often used to celebrate special occasions, such as seasonal events and weddings.

Displays

Many fireworks displays are a part of the game environment and occur with no player interaction, other than to attend and watch.

Year-round

A few of these are ongoing; for example, the firework launchers at  Lord Saltheril's party at Saltheril's Haven in Eversong Woods.^[37, 73] periodically launch fireworks year-round.  Bithrus, the Fireworks Vendor in Silvermoon City ^[62, 52], periodically shoots off fireworks as well.

Events

Many fireworks displays are a scheduled part of seasonal events. Generally there will be firework launcher objects on the ground where this is taking place and some text within the event describing who is shooting off fireworks.

Fireworks over Stormwind City

The Lunar Festival, representing the Chinese New Year has fireworks displays.

The Midsummer Fire Festival has fireworks displays near the end of the event. This is a carry-over from the Engineers' Explosive Extravaganza, representing US Independence Day and Canada Day which was only celebrated on North American servers, but after being merged with the Midsummer Fire Festival, all Midsummer Fire Festivals have the fireworks ending.

Peon Day, celebrated on European servers, has fireworks displays.

Items

Fireworks items usable by player characters to create a fireworks display are available in various sizes and colors. They can be launched in quick succession, so players can create spectacular firework displays as well. These items are mostly consumable.

Sparklers

Sparklers are decorative items equipped and held in the off hand for display, much like a bouquet.

Non-consumable

[Perpetual Purple Firework] is a trinket can be continually reused to fire off a fireworks display every 30 seconds. [Perpetual Purple Firework] is not a consumable. The source for this item is the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game UDE points system.

Nonfunctional

[Bundle of Fireworks] is a quest item, an objective of  [9] The Party Never Ends. It cannot be used as a firework.

Notes

Green Fireworks

[Green Fireworks] are the objective of the Darkmoon Faire quest, Green Fireworks. 36 [Green Fireworks] are needed for each turn in of this quest. When these are being vended during the Midsummer Fire Festival and Harvest Festival, this is a very cost-effective turn-in for Darkmoon Faire tickets without having to farm. They only stack up to 5, so a turn in requires eight slots or seven slots and part of an eighth if you are doing multiple turn-ins at once.

Lucky Rocket Cluster

Each Elder you visit will mail you a [Lucky Red Envelope]. The envelope will contain one of either a [Lucky Rocket Cluster] or an [Elder's Moonstone]. The odds of getting either appear to be about even.

Each [Lucky Rocket Cluster] provides a nice 30 minute +250 Health buff when fired, and is an area effect.

Elune's Candle

[Elune's Candle] damages Omen and his minions. It is intended to assist players with the Lunar Festival boss fight.

[Elune's Candle] had 88 charges. It costs under 12 per charge.

[Elune's Candle] is unique. You can only have one at a time.

Festival Firecrackers

[Festival Firecrackers] do no damage, but can aggro mobs. It will also aggro neutral town guards if thrown at an opposing faction.

Sparklers

Press the "z" key to toggle displaying your equipped items. (With a ranged weapon equipped, you may have three display options, in which case it will step through them.) One of the display options will show the sparkler being held in your off hand.

Smoke Flares are pyrotechnic devices used primarily to mark a location on the terrain with a smoke column. In that they are primarily for display, they are much like fireworks, however, they persist much longer.
