2015’s Lunar Festival starts on February 16 and ends on March 2. The Lunar Festival is held every year starting on a date that typically coincides with the Chinese New Year.
Ancestors of Azeroth are praised and honored by both Horde and Alliance, who then reward players with a special title, Elder <Name>, a celebration in Moonglade, and numerous Coin of Ancestry that can be used to purchase festive garb, patterns and fireworks!
For 2015, there are several new additions:
-
Elune’s Lantern from Elune’s Blessing is now a toy, and there are two Firework toys for sale, Everlasting Alliance Firework and Everlasting Horde Firework:
-
They were previously only available for one week before Mists of Pandaria launched as part of the Theramore scenario–great to see them return!
-
They cost 25 Coin of Ancestry each, and learning one automatically teaches you the toy for the opposite faction.
-

-
-
For pet lovers, there’s the Perky Blaster–give your Perky Pug a firework!
-
Engineers get three new firework schematics: Schematic: Alliance Firework, Schematic: Horde Firework, and Schematic: Snake Firework. These require 500 skill.
-
On the 6.1 PTR, vendors sell Ancient Heirloom Armor Casing for 40 Coin of Ancestry and Timeworn Heirloom Armor Casing for 75 Coin of Ancestry. This is part of 6.1’s heirloom collection system, where heirlooms can be upgraded to 100. If 6.1 goes live during the Lunar Festival, players can spend their coins on these tokens.
