||
+ | 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. |
||
+ | It was introduced in [[Patch 1.11]], and given a major revamp in June 2008. |
||
− | '''Ysera''', the green [[Dragon Aspect]], is charged with the protection of the [[Emerald Dream]], but also watches over Azeroth. To the [[druid]]s she is known as the "mother" of [[Cenarius]], but since he is not a dragon, this is not literal.<ref name="DF146">''[[Dark Factions]]'', 146</ref> |
||
+ | From [http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/events/midsummer/ Midsummer Fire Festival] on the official website: |
||
− | ==Background== |
||
− | [[File:YseraLegends.jpg|thumb|left|Ysera in ''Warcraft Legends''.]] |
||
− | [[Eonar]] the [[titan]] blessed [[Alexstrasza]]'s younger sister, the lithe green [[dragon]] Ysera, with a portion of nature's influence. Ysera fell into an eternal trance, bound to the waking Dream of Creation. Known as the Dreamer, she would watch over the growing wilds of the world from her verdant realm, the [[Emerald Dream]]. |
||
+ | :''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!'' |
||
− | According to [[War of the Ancients]], Ysera was said to be the mother of [[Cenarius]], and close friends of Malorne. It was later revealed that Ysera was only the adoptive mother. Ysera taught Cenarius the secrets of the Emerald Dream, forming a close bond with him. |
||
+ | The ending of the Festival seems to have been merged with the [[Engineers' Explosive Extravaganza]] holiday: |
||
− | Ysera was one of the [[Dragon Aspect]]s that gave some of her power to the [[Demon Soul]], not knowing [[Deathwing|Neltharion]] would betray the [[Aspect]]s. |
||
+ | :''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!'' |
||
− | After the [[War of the Ancients]], Alexstrasza planted a magical acorn from the Mother Tree [[G'Hanir]] within the second [[Well of Eternity]], created by [[Illidan]]. The Tree grew large till it reached the heavens and was crowned [[Nordrassil]]. Ysera enchanted the tree so that it would be bound to the Emerald Dream. |
||
+ | == Buffs == |
||
− | She has been silent since the appearance of the [[Emerald Nightmare]], and may be in danger, and might be corrupted, which would explain why she wrongly commanded the emerald Owls at the [[Emerald Dragonshrine]].<ref name="DF146" /> In recent times, Ysera's most trusted lieutenants, [[Lethon]], [[Emeriss]], [[Taerar]] and [[Ysondre]] have been warped by a dark new power within the Emerald Dream. Now these wayward sentinels have passed through the Great Trees into Azeroth, intending to spread madness and terror throughout the mortal kingdoms. Even the mightiest of adventurers would be well advised to give the dragons a wide berth, or suffer the consequences of their misguided wrath. |
||
+ | [[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]]. |
||
+ | {{clr}} |
||
+ | == Burning Blossom redemption == |
||
− | === In World of Warcraft === |
||
+ | 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. |

||
− | Following the defeat of the Lich King, the situation in the Emerald Dream became even more dire, as the insidious Nightmare Lord unfolded his master plan to enslave Azeroth. Ysera led the green dragons, ancients and druids against the Nightmare. Ysera was captured by the Nightmare Lord while assisting [[Tyrande Whisperwind]] and [[Thura]] in freeing [[Malfurion Stormrage]]. The Aspect remained imprisoned within the [[Eye of Ysera]] for most of the remainder of the crisis, working with [[Lucan Foxblood]] to assist Malfurion in stopping the Nightmare. Ysera was freed again by her consort Eranikus, who sacrificed himself to free her. Ysera was forced to leave the remainder of the battle to Malfurion, who was ultimately successful in stopping [[Xavius]] and largely halting the Nightmare. Ysera, with Alextrasza, later presided over the long-awaited wedding of Malfurion and Tyrande, and gave her blessing to [[Teldrassil]], which she had withheld when the tree was first made. <ref>{{ref book |author= Knaak, Richard A. |authorlink= Richard A.

While the reason behind this is not known, Alex Afrasiabi confirmed that this is intentional.<ref>http://blue.mmo-champion.com/t/26399010284/ysera-model-feedback/</ref> She has also been given a new humanoid model based on the ones used by Sylvanas and Alexstrasza and like them her head is unique while the body is similar to each other. Her animations as a result are also based on High/Blood Elves despite taking a night elven guise. |

+ | 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]]. |
||
− | [[File:Ysera TCG.jpg|thumb|Ysera in the TCG]] |
||
− | Ysera is green, and her skin glitters with countless emeralds for scales. Her physical form is ghostly, ethereal, like watching a living dream or vision. The Emerald Dream is a place where all living beings dream when sleeping. It is a place of where sentient beings have dreams of hope, and faith for a better tomorrow. From the Emerald Dream, Ysera can observe all lesser races. Her eyes are always closed, although you can see her pupils move constantly below her eyelids as if watching many dreams at once. |
||
+ | === Bonfires === |
||
− | There are only a few recorded moments in history where Ysera has opened her eyes. When she does, a person can see eyes of many colors, like a rainbow. The eyes of every sentient creature can be seen at once through her eyes. Ysera opened her eyes during the [[War of the Ancients]] after seeing [[Malorne]] dead, and again when addressing [[Malfurion Stormrage]] on his druidic prowess. She opened them another time during the [[Second War]], before [[Krasus]], when he tried to convince her to help free Alexstrasza. Ysera also opened her eyes after she regained her powers during the fight against Deathwing. Ysera fought alongside the other Dragon Aspects against the evil of Deathwing while [[Rhonin]] destroyed the Demon Soul. She regained her full powers once the Demon Soul was destroyed. (This story is told in the novel ''[[Day of the Dragon]]''.) |
||
+ | {{seealso|Alliance Bonfire|Horde Bonfire}} |
||
+ | The {{NPC||Flame Warden}} at each of your own faction's bonfires offers you [[Quest:Honor the Flame]]. |
||
− | Ysera can assume the form of a female from any race, which she chooses depending on whom she is talking to. Often she wears a dress of emerald green, emerald jewellery, and has emerald-green hair. |
||
+ | 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. |
||
− | Ysera avoids and dislikes combat, especially in her realm. When angered, she is terrible, paranoid and impulsive. She keeps herself isolated in the [[Eye of Ysera]] within the Emerald Dream, and is rarely seen in the real world. When she does visit the living plane, she shapeshifts into a humanoid form, covered by a green hood, and her eyes are always closed. |
||
+ | The bonfires of capital cities have separate quests, and you cannot Honor the Flame of your own faction's Capitals. |
||
− | When in combat, she attacks with her greenish breath to put her opponents to sleep, and rarely strikes to kill. She prefers to neutralize her enemies and banish them away from her realm. |
||
+ | 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. |
||
− | Ysera can travel from mind to mind to travel anywhere she wishes by entering the dreams of any living being sleeping. She may enter the dreams of a target to communicate with or warn the sleeping creature. Ysera has the ability to planeshift between the real world and the Emerald Dream. |

||
+ | 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.

+ | 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 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
- 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 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 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.

A new chain of quests was added to the game, beginning at a Festival Loremaster / 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 Quest: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.
All bonfires in Eastern Kingdoms.
All bonfires in Kalimdor.
All bonfires in Outland.
All bonfires in Northrend.

History
2010
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 Striking Back.
Recent In-Game Fixes - 6/22/09 | 2009-06-22 22:59 | Bornakk
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) 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.
