Alrighty folks, buckle up for a guide to the Midsummer Fire Festival<\/a> in World of Warcraft’s 11.1.7 patch! This fiery holiday event has just kicked off, celebrating the summer solstice and the hottest season, and will be warming things up until July 5th. Settle in for some warm evenings of festival fun! In this guide, we’ll dive into what players can do during the event, explore the various rewards available (with a special look at the new goodies for 2025!), and even touch upon how players might go about making some gold during the festivities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earn Burning Blossoms: Your Festival Currency!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So, what’s the main gig during the festival? Gathering Burning Blossoms<\/a>! These special tokens are the event currency and are the key to acquiring most of the festival’s goodies from the Midsummer vendor. They can be picked up all over the world, across many different continents and expansions, by visiting the various bonfires and Flame Keepers scattered around, each tending to a little piece of the festival fire. Every single zone has these, and they’re helpfully marked on the map, making them super easy to find if you know where to look. Think of collecting them as receiving the bonfire’s blessing! You’ll need plenty of these Burning Blossoms if you hope to acquire every single reward available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finding the Spark: Visiting Cozy Bonfires and Flame Keepers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"WoW
<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Earning Burning Blossoms is primarily done by interacting with the cozy festival’s bonfire<\/a>s and associated NPCs, often referred to as a flame warden depending on context. These are found in various locations throughout the old and new world zones, marking spots of sacred flames. For players who want to be super efficient and make sure they hit every single bonfire location, a neat trick involves downloading the TomTom add-on and then importing a data string specifically compiled for the Midsummer bonfire locations (community resources like Wowhead often have these readily available). With the right data imported, players will see the locations of all the bonfires and Flame Keepers marked clearly on their maps and mini-maps, allowing for some speedy collection routes! Visiting these scattered spots is key to earning as many Burning Blossoms as possible during this lengthy Midsummer Fire Festival event, leaving no bonfire un-visited by potentially unsuspecting adventurers who just stumble upon them! The heat from the festival fire feels warmer than a hot stone massage, a welcome feeling during these warm evenings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Travel Time: Bonfires Across Eastern Kingdoms, Kalimdor, the Broken Isles, the Dragon Isles, and Beyond!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You’ll find bonfires scattered across the length and breadth of Azeroth and beyond, bringing a touch of summer smells everywhere you go! From the classic zones of the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor (including the northern barrens and southern barrens) to the shattered landscapes of Cataclysm zones like Twilight Highlands and the eerie vibes of Outland like Shadowmoon Valley, Terokkar Forest, and Hellfire Peninsula, the fiery celebration reaches far and wide. This includes later expansions like the Broken Isles, the windswept plains of the four winds in Pandaria, the icy heights of Storm Peaks in Northrend, and even the current Dragon Isles, including the Waking Shores. You’ll even find fires burning brightly in the Western Plaguelands, a stark contrast to its usual gloom. Players looking to maximize their Burning Blossoms collection will need to travel to many different areas across all these maps, from the burning steppes to places like Arathi Highlands and the spooky dread wastes. Using a flying mount is highly recommended to cut down on travel time across these vast distances! Visiting bonfires across continents, like the classic four major zones of the original game and subsequent expansions, is the fastest way to accumulate blossoms. Don’t forget the bonfires in Zangarmarsh Hellfire Peninsula for extra blossoms! Speaking of travel, Patch 11.1.7 adds brand new bonfires in the upcoming Khaz Algar zones! Players will need to honor the four new bonfires located in Dornogal, Ringing Deeps, Hallowfall, and Azj-Kahet to potentially earn achievements linked to these new zones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Faction Interaction: Lighting or Extinguishing Eastern Kingdoms (and Other Hostile Lands)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The process for gathering blossoms involves interacting with these locations, with a fun little twist based on faction and the bonfire’s location. When visiting your own faction’s bonfires in a friendly capital city or camp, players simply talk to the associated Flame Keeper NPC to receive their currency. However, when visiting bonfires belonging to the opposing faction \u2013 for example, an Alliance player visiting a Horde bonfire in the Eastern Kingdoms or Kalimdor, or vice versa \u2013 the task is to interact directly with the bonfire itself, usually by clicking on it, perhaps thinking of it as extinguishing Kalimdor’s (and other hostile lands’) fires or tackling enemy’s capital cities’ flames! You might even find opportunities to lob chilly snowballs at players from the opposing faction while you’re completing these tasks in contested or enemy’s capital cities! This adds a touch of mischievous fun and also grants Burning Blossoms. Visiting the Alliance’s bonfires as Horde (or vice versa) is a key part of the event and contributes to achievements like Flame Keeper<\/a>\/Flame Warden<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More Blossoms: Daily Quests for Extra Currency<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For players who really want to maximize their Burning Blossoms haul beyond just visiting bonfires, there are also various daily quests available in the main event areas where the vendors are located. These event quests offer additional opportunities to earn Burning Blossoms, providing a steady stream of currency for those dedicated to farming the event rewards. Players can complete quests linked to the Midsummer Fire Festival quests list and bonfire quests to boost their blossom count significantly throughout the event. Completing these is a great way to work towards those Midsummer fire festival achievements too! You’ll earn plenty of Burning Blossoms by keeping up with the daily quests. It’s worth noting that sometimes minor bugs pop up with dailies, like the Torch Tossing quest in Orgrimmar reportedly having issues right at the start of the event, but Blizzard usually hotfixes these quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spending Your Hard-Earned Burning Blossoms: Rewards!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once players have gathered a nice stash of Burning Blossoms, they can then head to the midsummer vendor locations in each capital city to purchase all sorts of fiery rewards! For Horde players, the main midsummer vendor location is typically found in the Valley of Wisdom in Orgrimmar. Alliance players will find their vendor located in Stormwind, usually near the gates, displaying their wares alongside the glowing festival fire. Spending your blossoms here is key to snagging festive gear and other goodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

These vendors offer a ton of different things to spend blossoms on, catering to various interests and potentially helping you check off some midsummer fire festival achievements. Players can acquire various toys (maybe even some flaming torches for dazzling displays!) to spice up their \/play sessions, adorable pets to add to their collection, and perhaps most excitingly for many, cool transmog items to customize their look! For transmog collectors, the vendor has quite a selection available, including items from previous years that you might still be missing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s a look at some of the transmog goodies you can snag from the midsummer vendor with your Burning Blossoms:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
