The Midsummer Fire Festival is here!

This entry is about one of the many neat things that have come along with this festival celebrating the arrival of Summer in the northern hemisphere.

How To Use This Special Event To Powerlevel Your Lowbies

Any level of player can use some of the magic of this festival to gain a 10% premium to the experience they gain killing mobs, for a full hour!

You can easily use this to help power your lower level toons through levels a bit faster - but make use of it now before this bonus is removed!

How do you do it?

Simply find the Midsummer Festival Ribbon Pole near the Midsummer Bonfire major city in World of Warcraft (I did it in Undercity on my way to Scarlet Monestary with my 33 druid)…

Hovering over the pole’s top half will reveal a cog to click - when you click it, you’ll get a “ribbon” attached to you from the pole’s top, and as long as you don’t run too far away from the pole the ribbon will stay attached.

If you wish, you can run around the pole, but it’s not required. Just something to do to entertain yourself ;)

After a few moments of having the ribbon attached, your character will start to spin around and around in a squatted position with its arms extended, with the ribbon still attached. You can still run around, jump, do whatever, while this is going on, and it won’t disrupt it unless you go out of range of the Ribbon Pole.

Once you’ve been spinning for a little bit, you should be able to see a buff applied to your toon, displayed to the left of your minimap with the other buffs!

Unfortunately, this buff is removed upon death, so be careful - but charge up whenever you’re in a city!

I haven’t done this quest yet - I just got back from a wedding and am getting caught up.

But, I hope to tackle this today:

I’ve quoted this from WoWHead.com, it was written by Femaleshammy -Al’akir -eu server.

Full guide of “How to” (complete Ahune the Frost Lord)

-First. Go to any major city(Exodar, Darnassus, Thunder Bluff, Silvermoon City, Ironforge, Orgrimmar, Undercity or Stormwind) talk to “Earthen Ring Elder” and pick up the quest that takes you to Ashenvale(just outside Blackfathom Depths)

-Go to the camp with alot of Twilight people, kill people there untill you get a letter, use a quest item(A totem of some sort), which is provided in this quest, near one of the bonfires and summon your Shaman. Speak to him to get the next part of the quest.

-Head abit north, to the western “cap” that peaks out to the water, into a new twilight camp, use the disguises you now got in your bag, and turn into a crab, wait near some friendly NPC(They are hostile without the disguises) untill your quest is complete(hope no other player is killing the npc’s) and go to nearest bonfire, summon the shaman, deliver in.

-Head back to the guy you started this chain at, and you will now get the FUN quest. Which is one daily quests, including killing a guy near the Dark Portal, (which I’m not going further in at) and a quest that takes you to Slave Pens.

-Find a proper 5 man group, go into slave pens, deliver the quest at the lady you will see with some totems. Kill some packs of mobs into the next room and next NPC.

-ALL PARTY members go deliver, and when ready, one guy alone, will go to the ice shard, and deliver in, makes you summon the boss, abit further in, about the place where you normally would kill the “crab” looking guys, so remember to clear abit first.

-THE BOSS FIGHT-

-PHASE 1- The boss at first will have a armor that you can’t remove, that reduces damage by 90% or something like that, now you should focus on adds. All rangers, and the tank, should kill the big “ice elemental” that has a model like a earth elemental, which meleers kill the smaller water elementals. (the big guy gives a debuff to nearby players that takes 300damage per third second, and stacks untill he’s dead) This phase last for about a minute.

-PHASE 2- Now all remaining adds should be down, and the healer can get his mana back up, you won’t leave combat, but all that is left of the boss now, is “Frozen Core” which doesn’t do any damage, but you are now free to damage without any reduction.

These two Phases repeats untill the boss is down, if you are good, you can take him down on two “rounds of phases” a decent group should on 3, and if you use 4, you should be out of mana.

The boss is now down, and you will loot a chest that spawns in front of him, it gives the epic loot(caster staff, healing cloak, tanking cloak or melee cloak) along with a shard, that gives a quest, you accept this quest, turn it in to the lady not far from you, and get a tabard(you can choose between red or blue).

If there is several people in your party the long chain quest, they can also summon the boss, and you can kill him as man times as you want to, without resetting the instance.

Enjoy the Midsummer event.
