Bright fires burn throughout Azeroth and Outland. They warm the souls of residents and scare away ancient evil spirits. Every year, new Keepers and Guardians of the Fire are chosen: they are tasked with ensuring that the sacred flame does not go out day and night.
Guardians and Guardians will not refuse the help of brave travelers. They will likely ask you to explore the lands and delve into dangerous dungeons. People say that a generous reward awaits the brave ones: the power of the sacred flame is inexhaustible.

Bonfires blaze throughout Azeroth, marking the beginning of the hot season. Hot in all respects, since these days there are also many different PvP events taking place. Put on your battle armor and get ready to take one side or the other: you must either extinguish the sacred fires, or, on the contrary, protect them.
As on other holidays, for the main tasks - for example, throwing torches - you need to go to the capitals.
| Program | |
|---|---|
| Defeat Ahuna Lord of Cold |
Using the Dungeon Finder feature, characters level 89 and above can try their luck against Akhun the Coldlord. This is a special seasonal boss that only appears during the Fiery Solstice. If you manage to find and defeat him, special loot awaits you... |
| Down with the soot! |
Warriors of the Horde and Alliance look for enemy fires and, after a bloody battle, extinguish them, depriving the enemy of the blessings of the elements. Each side will fiercely defend its fire, so don't forget to call your friends for help! |
| May the fire bless us! |
By touching the fire in holiday bonfires, you will be cleansed of all diseases. And if you also throw flaming flowers into the fire, magic will give you great power for a while! |
| Dancing around the pole |
A pole entwined with flowers and ribbons, according to tradition, decorates all festive areas. Take one of the ribbons and dance a fun dance with your friends! |
| Juggling with fire |
Talk to the Fire Juggler next to the bonfire in your capital and he will teach you how to juggle torches. This daily challenge is fun! |
| fiery sky |
The Fiery Solstice holiday traditionally ends with the “setting fire” of the sky. The goblin miners spent a lot of time and effort (and gunpowder) on these magnificent fireworks! |
| Daily quests |
During the Solstice of Fire, you will be able to complete special daily quests. For example, you will need to catch 10 torches in a row, win a juggling competition and defeat fire enemies. |
For your deeds during the Fiery Solstice you will receive flaming flowers. It is a kind of currency that is only used these days. Burning flowers can be used to pay for special items and pets that can be purchased from holiday vendors.
| Seasonal Pets | |
|---|---|
|
Ice studio Pet - ice elemental. It can be found in a bag of frozen goods when you deal with Akhun. Summoned using an ice shard. |
|
|
Spirit of Summer You will be taught to summon this companion - a dancing tongue of flame - by an “enchanted flame”, which can be purchased from Fiery Solstice merchants for 350 flaming flowers. |
|
| Clothes and fun items | |||
|---|---|---|---|
|
Magnificent bright shoulder pads from the vestments of Revelers from the Solstice Festival. They will cost you 100 Flaming Flowers. |
|||
|
This item from the Midsummer Reveler's outfit costs 100 Burning Flowers. In these robes, your hands become “fiery”, for greater expressiveness of the dance. |
|||
|
With these Solstice Revelers boots, if you're willing to shell out 200 Flaming Flowers, you'll be kicking out those knee-highs like your heels are on fire! |
|||
|
|
Tabards Defeating Akhun the Frostlord can reward you with the Summer Flame or Summer Skies Tabard. |
||
|
This is a pedestal that can be purchased during the holiday from merchants for 350 flaming flowers. A proud, passionate draenei will appear on it and perform a fiery dance; it responds to the player's emotions. |

Alliance and Horde, Fire and Sun - guide to the "Fiery Solstice" holiday 21.06.2012
The fiery solstice begins on June 21, 2012 and will last until July 4 of the same year. And although there are few achievements associated with the Solstice, and the meta-achievement for obtaining the title of Guardian of the Fire (Alliance) and Keeper of the Fire (Horde) consists of only 6 achievements, you will still have to work a lot to obtain this meta, because in three achievements will require you to run, and another involves dangerous travel to enemy capitals. Well? Are you ready to overcome the fire... or completely merge with it, like the Sun?
If you're starting from scratch, this holiday will probably require the most work on your part if you want to complete The Long Strange Journey. But there is good news: in order to get all the rewards from sellers, all you need to do is complete daily dailies and other tasks ( Sun did it help us? Are these his gifts?). This way, you won’t have to wait a whole year to receive the necessary rewards ( fire it turns out that it doesn’t always burn).
The holiday itself has changed little, except for the appearance of the lights of Northrend and Cataclysm, but as always, we will try to give the most advanced review so that this guide can be used in Pandaria, if such information is found by us. In case Blizzard added fire and for beta testing, then everything will definitely be described and added.. It’s high time to do it.
Confrontation. Alliance and Horde - Freeze the Cold Lord
Fire and Sun... Fire and Sun... Akhun has always been a fairly simple boss with basic mechanics (what else could you hope for?), and we don't think much has changed in the Freeze Lord of Cold achievement. As with the other holiday bosses, just queue for him in the Dungeon Finder and you'll get a group together pretty quickly. The first kill of the day will net you a Bag of Frozen Goods, which has a chance to drop a non-battle pet, an Enchanting recipe, and/or an Ice Scythe ( Note to Transmogrifiers: Overlord Ahune's Ice Scythe is a highly desirable choice for many players to transmog their staff.) Akhun himself may drop one of several cloaks.
The 2011 drop table contained the following items, and there was no mention of Blizzard suddenly changing it:
- Not a battle pet. This time it will be a Shard of Ice, because... The Scorched Stone became a random drop from Zen'Vorka's purse from the Fiery Front.
- Lord Akhun's Ice Scythe. Many players were outraged by the choice of stats for this staff (Stamina, baby!), but Blizzard decided to leave only this stat so that the scythe could not be replaced by staves from Zul'Aman or Zul'Gurub, which are much more difficult to obtain.
Obviously, it is unlikely that anyone will take level 353 capes due to characteristics only for the reason that level 365 capes are easily obtained from Thrall's quest chain in Hyjal called Call of the Shaman. But like the Ice Scythe, these cloaks can help your character get some good gear if he just reached level 85.
It doesn’t matter who you are - Alliance or Horde, you still have to do “Fires of Azeroth”
The Fires of Azeroth (Alliance and Horde version) includes a set of "fires" for each zone: Eastern Kingdoms Flame Keeper, Kalimdor Flame Keeper, Outland Flame Keeper, Northrend Flame Keeper, and Cataclysm Flame Keeper. There will be a lot of traveling involved, but the achievement is easily accomplished by a level 85 character with a full set of flight points or with a fast flying pet of 280% or 310%.
If your character is level 80 or higher, completing achievements for Azeroth will be much easier than before. All the lights are located close to the flight points, and you can immediately see them by the large tents and several NPCs. In order to fulfill the criterion for the achievement, all you have to do is right-click on the fire.
The camps where you can worship the fire are located in different places for the Alliance and the Horde, but below I have listed the locations by coordinates separately for the two factions where it was needed. Last year, places for those who had already bowed to the flame didn't work, but as we all know, Blizzard is pretty quick in fixing them and this time there shouldn't be anything like that.
I created a list of coordinates in such a way that you can not only worship the fires of your faction, but also extinguish/desecrate the fires of the opposing faction (and you should do so, otherwise your journey will have to be repeated twice). We now have achievements related to Northrend and Cataclysm, and they are also described in the list. Before moving on to the next achievements, don't forget about these two zones.
Desecration of the Fires - the confrontation between the Alliance and the Horde
Desecrating the Alliance Fires for the Horde and Desecrating the Horde Bonfires for the Alliance follow the same list below. Do you see those places that do not belong to your faction? Run there too to desecrate/extinguish them. Yes, of course, you will have to run a lot, but most often it does not take much time to desecrate enemy fire and worship your own. After that, you simply move on to the next location.
Please remember, if you play on PvE servers and find little joy in the world of Player vs. Player battles: your PvP mode will turn on as soon as you desecrate someone else's fire. Therefore, it is advisable for you to do this dirty business at times when a minimum number of players are playing. Or with a group, if you prefer. Practice has shown that players will leave you alone in small areas or small villages, because... they also have their own achievements to fulfill. Try to enjoy the moment while you can, because more populated areas await you ahead.
By the way, in order to make it easier to understand the coordinates, if they are not shown on your map, you can use wowhead maps. The coordinates are shown in the lower left corner of the map.
As an alternative, you can install the TomTom addon, with which you can place marks at the desired coordinates, which is very convenient and useful. To set a label, use the macro:

King of the Fiery Solstice - become him! It doesn’t matter whether you are Alliance or Horde. Doesn't matter!
Achieving the King of the Fire Solstice will require you to travel to all enemy capitals. There you will need to steal the lights and return them according to the task. In order to steal fire, you need to get to it and right-click. After clicking, an item giving a task will appear in your backpack. This task must be returned to the Festive Storytellers, who are plentiful around the large cities of your faction. Take all 4 lights from different cities of the opposite faction ( For the Horde: Stormwind, Ironforge, Darnassus and Exodar. For the Alliance: Orgrimmar, Thunder Bluff, Silvermoon City and Undercity), and you will receive a quest called The Thief's Reward from the Loremaster of the Holiday. After completing the task, you will receive the achievement King of the Fire Solstice.
Stealing lights from opposing factions has become simple matter with the arrival of flying pets in Azeroth, however, if you make your way into the enemy capital, then you still take a very big risk. Try to complete the achievement at a time when there is a minimum number of players on the server (at night or in the morning, for example) or, in any case, not alone.
For the Alliance Undercity, Silvermoon City, and Thunder Bluff will be easy because there's almost never anyone there; Orgrimmar will be more difficult, especially if you don’t have a flying mount.
Fire of Thunder Bluff is located on the northwestern cliff at coordinates 20,26. If you don't have a flying mount, you may have a hard time because... the bridge system very often confuses people, and I have heard of those who managed to get lost among these bridges and passages. But on the other hand, you are unlikely to be able to find opponents in Thunder Bluff, and if you do, it is unlikely to be in large numbers. If you have Levitate/Slow Fall, a parachute, or are lucky with the effect of Hogelmogel's Elixir, you can immediately jump off the cliff as soon as you steal the fire. Rogues can be helped in this regard by the effect of legendary daggers, if they have any.
Steal Fire from Orgrimmar It will be more difficult, but still much easier than during the Wrath of the Lich King. The fire itself is located in the “Tauren Town” - the Alley of Wisdom. Historically, stealing fire from Orgrimmar was considered incredibly difficult because... it is very heavily populated, and the tent with the fire itself is located deep inside the city. For Alliance players who did not have time to acquire a flying pet, the best option will go through the western gate, which almost no one uses, but this does not mean that everything will suddenly become very simple. You will still have to go through the troll zone and you will definitely run into players. This is still better than entering through the front gate, because in this case you will literally immediately be surrounded by numerous opponents resting near the main auction and bank. You can try the even less used northern gate, but just around the corner there will be players shopping at the northern auction. Sorry folks, there are no win-win options here, just try to steal fire while most of the players are already/still asleep.
Fire of the Undercity It will be the easiest to steal. The tent itself is located at coordinates 68.9 in the Ruins of Lordaeron. You don't even have to enter the city, but your PvP mode will still turn on, because... the ruins are Horde territory.
Fire of Silvermoon located at coordinates 69.39. I think you won't have any problems with it, because... Almost no one looks there at all.
For the Horde The fires of Darnassus and Exordar will pose little problems, but with Ironforge and Stormwind you will have to suffer.
Steal the Fire of Darnassus it won't be that difficult. He himself is located at coordinates 64.37. You can simply fly to Teldrassil on the mount and pick up the fire. If you don’t have a mount, you will have to travel by boat, after the teleport you will find yourself in a city full of guards, so be careful. Don't forget to take fire from Dolanaar for the Fire Keeper of Kalimdor. Once both fires are dealt with, take a boat to the Azuremyst and Bloodmyst Isles to deal with the fires on those islands. Don't forget about Exodar.
To steal Fire from the Exodar, you need to follow coordinates 41.25. The Exodar is often empty and shouldn't be a problem, but the fire is still quite deep inside the city. When you get off the boat, enter from the side rather than the main entrance (it's on the left side of the road) to avoid as many players as possible. Before you fly off to other cities, desecrate the lights at the Azure Outpost and the Bloody Outpost. After this, go to Stormwind.
Fire of Stormwind is located near the entrance to Stormwind Prison, namely at coordinates 50.72. If you come from the side of the docks, you can easily avoid the main part of the players. But you yourself understand that the chances of bumping into a high-level player are quite high, so you take risks in any case. If mobs follow you, try to run into the Prison and wait a few minutes. After that, get on the mount and run to take the fire. When you're done with him, try to get to the subway and run to Ironforge. If you don’t want to take risks, you can simply fly on your flying mount, if you have one.
Fire of Ironforge is located at coordinates 64.24. You can get to it quite quickly if you came from the subway. Remember that even though the metro is neutral territory, the PvP mode will turn off only after five minutes of being there. This means that if someone wants to ruin your life, he can safely follow you into the subway.
Got all four lights? Head to the Wisdom Keeper of the Holiday, turn in all the tasks and enjoy the achievement. You can spend the money you receive for quests on repairing your armor, which I’m sure you’ve already worn out.
Incendiary pole dance - show your nature, collect flowers. Prove that you truly belong to the Alliance or Horde!
A fiery pole dance seems like a simple achievement, right? It itself, in fact, is just that, but the whole outfit will cost you 400 Blooming Blossoms if you are at the festival for the first time.
Do yourself a favor and complete King of the Fire Solstice, Fire Guardian/Fire Guardian, and Desecration of the Fires before you start doing this achievement. These achievements, as well as daily quests, along with killing Lord Akhun, will give you a lot of Burning Blossom. Burning Color is the currency needed to purchase various items from Holiday vendors, including 3 pieces of equipment.
Whatever you buy from the seller, you will not be able to return it, so be careful with your purchases. If you do all the daily quests, kill Akhun daily and complete all the achievements in as soon as possible, you can buy all the pets and similar “goodies” of the Fiery Solstice. However, I repeat that this will require a lot of work.
After receiving the clothes, put them on, right-click on the nearest pole and stay next to it for 60 seconds. Congratulations on completing the achievement!
A Perilous Journey (again, for both factions - Alliance and Horde) - Torch Juggler
For people with bad computers, Torch Juggler was a nightmare come true during the Wrath of the Lich King due to the sheer number of people in Dalaran. At this point, you are unlikely to have such problems. If you still have a lot of slowdown in Dalaran, then simply fly out of it and land on one of the flying stones immediately near Dalaran.
You need to buy 20-25 Juggler's Torches and place them on some convenient key, I put the use of the torch on the "1" button. Point the torch directly at your feet, then start spamming a unit and left mouse button to throw torches. Each torch will automatically fall at your feet, i.e. you will automatically throw it back. The use of torches is not modified by the global cooldown, i.e. with proper latency and a normal number of frames per second, you can easily do it in 15 seconds.
The fiery solstice is upon us again! Once again the ugly Akhun decided to stop us from celebrating and for this we will dismantle him into epics. Unfortunately, Akhun mostly drops level 353 cloaks, and meanwhile, most likely, in a week it will be released where there will be . Therefore, I would not focus on farming Akhun.
What else does the boss drop? , the main purpose of which at high levels is to add a bluish glow. In addition, for one kill of Akhun per day you will receive a bag, which may also contain a pet
Killing Akhun will reward you with the Freeze the Cold Lord achievement. To get to Akhun, you need to use the group search interface.
Let's move on to other achievements of the Fiery Solstice.
Fires of Azeroth / Desecration of the Fires
Quite a tedious achievement, but with the ability to fly it became less annoying. Midsummer camps will appear throughout Azeroth. We need to honor the bonfires of our faction or desecrate the bonfires of the opposing faction. In both cases, you need to right-click on the fire.
For each reverence you receive 5 Fire Blossom, and for desecration you receive 10 Fire Blossom. The color is later used to purchase items, so using it for buffs is strongly not recommended =)
You can find fires at the following coordinates:

King of the Fire Solstice
Required to complete the quest A Thief's Reward: steal fire from enemy capitals (for the Horde: Orgrimmar, Thunder Bluff, Silvermoon City and Undercity, for the Alliance: Darnassus, Exodar, Stormwind and Ironforge).
Everything is quite simple: you get on the mount, fly to the fire and steal the flame. All that remains is to survive and be able to mount the mount again =)
The flame in the capitals is located at the following coordinates:
- Thunder Bluff – 20.26
- Orgrimmar – 47.38
- Subcity – 68.9
- Lunosvet – 69.39
- Darnassus – 55.91
- Exodar – 41.26
- Stormwind – 49.72
- Ironforge – 64.25
Incendiary pole dance
Poles can be found all over the place when completing quests to desecrate/worship the flame. However, that's not the point, you will need 400 Fire to buy equipment for this dance:
- – 100 flowers
- – 100 flowers
- – 200 flowers
You'll most likely do this achievement when you're done with the others. Dress up and dance around the pole!
Lyrical digression: In general, it looks strange, the veneration of fire, the murder of the ice lord Ahune and all sorts of worship of the fire element on the eve of Ragnaros's invasion of our world. It’s as if they invited him, invited him, and then - bang! Yes, and for epics =)
Juggler with torches
40 torches -> 15 seconds -> achievement.
Nowadays, when Dalaran is almost extinct, this achievement will be quite easy to achieve. You can buy torches from Fiery Solstice merchants at 5 colors for 5 pieces. You will need about 30 torches. Buy the required amount, transfer it to the action bar and just spam the hotkey.
In addition to a cool outfit, a couple of good epics from Ahuna and the title of Fire Keeper, you can also buy yourself a pet, which is for a short time.
Recently one of the events in World of Warcraft began – the Fiery Solstice. The result of players' efforts to obtain the Fire Guardian meta-achievement will be the title of Fire Guardian! However, to obtain this achievement you will have to fly around the world. To the whole world.
In addition to the achievements, players will have the opportunity to fight with, a special boss created specifically for the Fiery Solstice. In general, farming Akhun is not necessary this year: he mainly drops level 353 cloaks, which looks very low for those who are waiting for the release of Firelands - after all, there are ! But for pet collectors, Akhun should be killed: the fact is that a bag may fall from him, which may contain an Ice Shard. Okay, let's move on to the achievements.Desecration of Bonfires and Fires of Azeroth
Some of the most boring achievements. However, after the release of Cataclysm, we now have the ability to fly around Azeroth, which helps complete these achievements. The bottom line is this: somewhere special camps will constantly appear in which they will celebrate summer. We need, as it were, to salute the fire, if our camp is ours, and if it’s the enemy’s, we need to desecrate it. In any case, you need to do one thing - click on the fire.
If you honor your bonfire, you will receive 5 pieces of Fire (the main currency of the Fiery Solstice), but for desecration - as much as 10. Further, this mini-currency will be useful for purchasing items. Don’t even think about buffing them on yourself! =)
I suggest you familiarize yourself with the coordinates of the fires:

Fire Festival King
You must complete the quest Thief's Reward, which requires you to commit theft in enemy capitals.
The execution looks quite simple: fly to the enemy capital (absolutely all are included, not just Orgrimmar and Stormwind), approach the fire and steal fire.
Coordinates:
- Orgrimmar – 47.38
- Subcity – 68.9
- Thunder Bluff – 20.26
- Lunosvet – 69.39
- Stormwind – 49.72
- Darnassus – 55.91
- Ironforge – 64.25
- Exodar – 41.26
Poles can be obtained indirectly by performing Flame Honor/Desecration. But all this is nonsense, because you need to earn 400 pieces of Fire to buy equipment in which you will need to dance near the pole.
Fiery Solstice Midsummer Fire Festival
Arrived Fiery Solstice! Embrace the spirit of summer by saluting your faction's bonfires and desecrating the enemy's! Lights have been lit all over the world, and next to them you will find quest givers and NPCs from whom you can purchase summer items in exchange for Burning Blossom. In large cities you will meet ordinary people of all races who will offer you a short quest and send you to one of the main camps with bonfires, where an unforgettable summer adventure will begin!
As always, this time of year you'll be able to earn Blazing Robes of Summer, Frost Companion, Epic Cloaks, and more! Players will be able to receive special titles: representatives of the Horde - Fire Guardian, and Alliance characters - Fire Guardian.
In 2015, the merchants' assortment was replenished with two toys (Locket of the Blazing Protector, Warming Bonfire), a battle pet (Burning Fire Crawler), and armor skins.
Fire Solstice Festival will start this year June 21 at 00:01 server time and will last for two whole weeks, until July 5 (ends at 23:59 server time).
Festival bonfires
The fires of summer have lit across Azeroth, inviting players to pay homage to their faction's bonfires and desecrate those of their enemies. To honor your faction's flame, simply speak to the nearby Flame Keeper or Flame Guardian and complete the quest. To desecrate the opposing faction's bonfire, you need to be close enough to it - take the task directly into the flames and extinguish it for a reward.
On top of that, visiting these bonfires is rewarded with good money for level 85 characters, and also provides a lot of experience for those who have not yet reached the maximum. It does Fiery Solstice A great time to upgrade your alts. And don’t forget that at the same time you can earn a decent amount of experience for your guild - each task will bring 8675 and 17350 units of experience (for honoring your faction’s fire and desecrating the enemy’s flame, respectively). And a whole book could be written about exciting and dangerous forays into enemy capitals - dare to steal the flame of the opposing faction right from under the noses of players and guards!

Quests in camps with fires
The main festival bonfires can be found in the following locations: for the Alliance in Darnassus, Ironforge, Stormwind and the Exodar; for the Horde in Orgrimmar, Silvermoon City, Thunder Bluff and Undercity.
- Midsummer Teller (Horde) and Midsummer Loremaster (Alliance)
Starts: Residents in large cities.
Completes: Holiday Storyteller or Holiday Wisdom Keeper
This is a regular invitation quest that will notify you of the start of the Fiery Solstice and will lead you to one of the main camps with bonfires. The quest does not have to be completed in order to receive the rest of the festival tasks. - Incense for Holiday Lights (Horde) or Incense for Summer Flames (Alliance)
Starts: Holiday Storyteller or Holiday Wisdom Keeper
Completes: Summer flash
A short and easy quest that can be completed at any of the non-capital bonfires. The reward will be only one Burning Blossom, but you will get the opportunity to watch how a small summer spark will turn into a huge fire elemental - a powerful servant of Ragnaros. - Thief's Reward
Starts and ends: Holiday Storyteller or Holiday Wisdom Keeper
This task can only be received after you have stolen and handed over the lights from all four enemy capitals. Try to collect 4 flames at once and turn them in together - in many cases, if you turn in lights hours or days apart, the task will fail. For completing this quest, the player will receive the Crown of the Solstice of Fire and some gold, as well as the achievement King of the Solstice of Fire. Please note that if you turned in stolen lights in previous years, then the Thief's Reward quest will be available to you again this year - you will simply receive another crown and a small amount of money in just two clicks.
The Virtuoso Fire Eater and the Virtuoso Flame Eater, located next to any bonfire in your faction's capitals, will also offer players two more quests that will then become daily quests (completing them will allow you to collect enough Burning Blossom to purchase valuable festival items and complete a number of achievements, o which will be discussed below):
- Juggling with torches
Next to the fire are braziers into which you must throw Training Torches. Throws into the brazier over which the arrow hangs at the moment of the throw are counted (similar to the Hunter's Mark spell). You need to hit 8 braziers in 38 seconds. If the task fails, you can cancel the task and try again. The reward for completing the quest will be 5 Burning Blossom and some gold (as well as experience for those who have not yet reached level 85). - After completing this quest, it becomes daily - Throwing torches again. This time you will need to hit more braziers, but also in a longer time - 20 braziers in 1 minute 30 seconds. As a reward for completing the task, the player will receive 5 Burning Blossom. Note that the quest can be completed even in a raid.
- Catch the torch!
To complete the task, you need to light the Unlit Torches at the fire, and then throw the burning torch into the air. Follow the shadow of the torch on the ground to catch it where it falls. If you fail to catch the torch, you will be knocked down and given a short-term Flame of Misfortune debuff. Catch 4 torches in a row, otherwise you will have to return to the fire again to light and throw a new torch. As a reward for completing the task, the player will receive 5 Juggler's Torch and 5 Burning Blossom. Note that some classes have a slightly easier time completing this task by using their abilities (for example, Shaman's Ghost Wolf or Druid's Travel Form). - Once completed, this quest also becomes a daily quest - Juggling Torches Again. Every day this task will require the player to catch 10 torches in a row. The reward for completion will be 5 Burning Blossom.
- Unusual activity
Starts: Elder of the Earthen Ring
Completes: Guide from the servants of the earth
To complete the task, go to Zoram seaside(west coast in Ashenvale). Kill Twilight Fire Worshipers (mob level 20+) until they drop the Twilight Correspondence quest item. To complete the quest, use the Totem Beacon in your inventory to summon the Earthen Ring Guide. - Innocent masquerade
Starts and ends: Guide from the servants of the earth
To complete the task, you will be given a Crab Orb, which, when used, turns you into this creature for three minutes. In the form of a crab, find three naga emissaries of the Twilight Cult in the company of the Ice Sorcerer Briata to the west of the entrance to the Impenetrable Abyss, get closer and eavesdrop on their conversation. If the required mobs are not there, just wait, perhaps they were killed by the previous player (they are respawned quite quickly). Once completed, use the Totem Beacon to summon the Earthen Ring Guide and turn in the quest. - Tell the elders
Starts: Guide from the servants of the earth
Completes: Elder of the Earthen Ring
Return back to the city to the Elder of the Earth Servants and report everything you heard. - Next, depending on the level of your character, you will be offered a daily task Strike Back, to complete which you need to summon and kill certain NPCs in a certain location (corresponding to your level). As a reward, the player will receive 10 Burning Blossom and some gold.
