The Live Lunar Celebration - Fresh Winding Slitherdrake Customization

Lunar Festival is now live for the Year of the Dragon - or as the Pandarans like to say, the Year of Yu'lon. Once again it is time to set forth and honor all of the Elders in Azeroth. Doing this will reward you with the holiday currency, the Coin of Ancestry. Collect Coins of Ancestry, check your bank for leftovers from years past, and head to Moonglade between now and February 17th to acquire all of the Lunar Festival goodies that you still need.

Lunar Festival Guide

This year, the Winding Slitherdrake is the proud recipient of a holiday saddle, the Winding Slitherdrake: Lunar Festival Armor. This Drakewatcher Manuscript adds a fierce helm and fiercer claws to your Dragonriding mount. You can treat your buddy to a new saddle for a reasonable price, available from Valadar Starsong or a Lunar Festival Vendor near you - except in Orgrimmar - their shipment was delayed.

Even the in-game shop is getting in on the festivities, offering a Lunar Festival themed pet, Hoplet. They may have missed the Year of the Rabbit, but Hoplet is still awfully cute.

Last year added the Elders of the Dragon Isles with an Achievement. In addition, vendors in Moonglade have transmogs, pets, toys, and, of course, fireworks for your entertainment.

Every year the druids of Moonglade hold a celebration of their city’s great triumph over an ancient evil. During the Lunar Festival, citizens of Azeroth have the opportunity to honor their elders by celebrating their sage wisdom, sharing in magnificent feasts…and of course, lighting fireworks.

The celebration has begun in Moonglade, and your Lunar Festival Invitation is waiting. Join in the fun by dressing up in your Lunar Festival finery, launching fireworks, and paying homage to the Elders throughout Azeroth.

When:

February 3–17

Where:

Moonglade, with camps in Ironforge, Stormwind, Darnassus, Thunder Bluff, Orgrimmar, Dragon Isles zones, and the Undercity*
