Coinciding with the Chinese New Year, the Lunar Festival returns to settle in Azeroth. Almost everywhere, there are camps, set up in the capitals, but the party takes place mainly in Reflet-de-Lune. After sunset, sometimes fireworks will be shot in the sky of the capitals.

quests
In the Alliance and Horde capitals, you will find NPCs (Herald of the Lunar Festival Horde / Emissary of the Lunar Festival Alliance) giving a quest that requires going to the event camp:
- Orgrimmar, Pitons-du-Tonnerre or Undercity
- Forgefer, Hurlevent or Darnassus
No matter the city, there you will find a Lunar Festival messenger, a neutral NPC, giving the quest The Lunar Fireworks. Buy 8 fireworks and 2 rosaries from the merchant nearby and use the launchers to create beautiful lights! Once the quest is completed, you get Invitation to the Lunar Festival, essential to be able to teleport to Moonlight with the upper moonlight (the large white halo in the middle of the camp) and return the sequel, Valadar Starsong.
In Moonlight, you land amid moonlight and fireworks, but the NPC to see is north of Lake Elune'ara on a terrace. Turn in the quest and notice next to him a vendor giving away the Lunar Festival items. He himself also sells a few items. A final quest is available from Valadar, Blessing of Elune, asking to kill Omen, the event boss. As a reward you will get a toy, the Lantern of Elune.
Season boss
Make your way to the southeast of the lake where there are usually plenty of players, skeletons on the ground, and two launchers by the side of the road, identified by two banners. If you're lucky there might even be the Omen's body already, step into the light and the matter is settled.
Otherwise, we'll have to kill him ... and already summon him. It happens thanks to launchers (so plan fireworks). Servants (big wolves) will arrive first until Omen finally appears. To speed things up, you can throw Elune Candles (sold by Valadar) at minions. The boss (level 100) uses two abilities, Chain and Meteors. It hurts quite a bit, so don't engage it alone!
