Midsummer Fire Festival 2008 - lot of XP to grind !

[king.pa]

Hi all,

I've been trough Azeroth and Kalimdor and of course Outland to desecrates the Horde bonfire... I've started these at 20 % of my lvl63... I just hit 64 because of the 10400 XP granted by bonfire ....
There's 32 Alliance bonfire granting 5500 XP and 1.5 Gold and 30 Horde bonfire granting 10400 XP each and 2.90 Gold... I've also done the stealing flame quests on the opposite faction cities rewarding 7800 xp + a 7800 xp on the final stealing series..

Finding a bonfire of the opposite faction and using (stamping upon) it will reward 10 Burning Blossom and 11 99 at level 70. As there are 32 Alliance Fires and 30 Horde Fires, you can get as Alliance 550 10 and 460 Blossoms, and as Horde 562 18 and 470 Blossoms, not counting quests or capital bonfires

anyway .. this took me almost 3h to go through all bonfires.. but that worth it :thumbup:

I don't know the amount of XP granted at lower levels, but doing some travelling could be good for your lowbies

Wow so far I've just been ignoring them, guess I'll have to check them out now (and buy epic land mounts -.-)

So far, on my three shamans, I have made a ridiculous amount of gold, and I have over 500 blossoms on each. I just finished stealing the fires for the helm. And hopefully I'll be able to get enough blossoms to buy the rest of the outfit. To give me something fancy to wear while I'm spending my time just sitting around Shatt or Ironforge.

i tried to juggle and I suck, 20 attempts with only 2 juggles in a row.


I fail

Do lowbies get EXP for dousing bonfires?

[Awbee]

yes, double the xp for Honoring your factions fire. at lvl 36 it was 1800ish for honor, 3600ish for pissing on the opposite fire.

[Kel]

Gah! Why do horde get more gold than alliance?

I'm planning to do all of these on my (non-multiboxing) level 70s, 3.3k gold will be a nice bonus towards another epic flyer.

Make your camera face the ground and follow the shadow of your torch. That works for me. It works better when there aren't many ppl around that clutter your view of course.
You might want to try the Undercity for a less crowded space (but there the shadow is less visible because of the dark soil).

I love this event, I went and did every fire/honor quest except the alliance capitals and I've gotten almost 2 levels of xp along with fair amount of gold and 225+ blossoms. In my 40s I was getting about 2k xp and 5 blossoms for horde and 5k xp and 10 blossoms for alliance fires! Very good time to level indeed. I got my shamans the shoulders and chest(200 blossoms), looks pretty sweet.

I've been using the xp buffs from the streamer pole and the tower buff to run mana tombs over and over and over. 15% more xp from kills is pretty sweet when instancing. It was my first time running mana tombs @ 66 and I lost the pole buff the first two runs. I think I have the bosses down now and have no reason to wipe.
