Midsummer Fun: Desecrating the Flames
The quickest, easiest way to make gold and Burning Blossoms in the Midsummer Fire Festival is to tour the worlds, stopping at each of the flames and bonfires, both Horde and Alliance. There are many of these locations, both on Azeroth and Draenor. Honoring a flame of the same faction nets you 5 gold, 95 silver, and 5 Burning Blossoms. Desecrating and extinguishing the opposing faction's bonfires earns you 11 gold, 99 silver, and 10 Burning Blossoms.Be warned, desecrating a bonfire flags you for PvP, if you are not on a PvP server. Both on PvP and PvE realms, expect many of these sites to turn into warzones. You can expect the worst of this action to be near the neutral Goblin towns such as Booty Bay and Gadgetzan. The flames are practically right next to eachother, so battles for dominance are inevitable.Scouring the entirety of Azeroth and Outland for these flames can be a bit of a task, so we did it for you! A list of all of the bonfire locations are below, with the settlement they are closest to listed. They are all more or less in the direct vicinity of the Horde, Alliance, or Neutral town mentioned.The easiest way to complete this is to start at one end of the continent, either far north or far south, and work your way up/down zone by zone. While you're doing this, you can also pop into the various opposing enemy cities to begin A Thief's Reward.Horde Fires Stonebreaker Hold, Terokkar Forest Shadowmoon Village, Shadowmoon Valley Garadar, Nagrand Zabra'jin, Zangarmarsh Thunderlord Stronghold, Blade's Edge Mountains Thrallmar, Hellfire Peninsula Stonard, Swamp of Sorrows Flame Crest, Burning Steppes Kargath, Badlands Hammerfall, Arathi Highlands Tarren Mill, Hillsbrad Revantusk Village, Hinterlands Sepulcher, Silverpine Forest Brill, Tirisfal Glades Tranquillien, Ghostlands Falconwing Square, Eversong Woods Razor Hill, Durotar The Crossroads, The Barrens Sun Rock Retreat, Stonetalon Mountains Shadowprey Village, Desolace Splintertree Outpost, Ashenvale Brackenwall Village, Dustwallow Marsh Bloodhoof Village, Mulgore Freewind Post, Thousand Needles Camp Mojache, Feralas Alliance Fires Allerian Stronghold, Terokkar Forest Wildhammer Stronghold, Shadowmoon Valley Telaar, Nagrand Telredor, Zangarmarsh Sylvanaar, Blade's Edge Mountains Honor Hold, Hellfire Peninsula Nethergarde Keep, Blasted Lands Darkshire, Duskwood Sentinel Hill, Westfall Goldshire, Elwynn Forest Lakeshire, Redridge Morgan's Vigil, Burning Steppes Thelsamar, Loch Modan Kharanos, Dun Morogh Menethil Harbor, Wetlands Refuge Pointe, Arathi Highlands Southshore, Hillsbrad Aerie Peak, Hinterlands Chillwind Camp, West Plaguelands Nijel's Point, Desolace Astranaar, Ashenvale Auberdine, Darkshore Dolanaar, Teldrassil Azure Watch, Azuremyst Blood Watch, Bloodmyst Theramore Isle, Dustwallow Marsh Feathermoon Stronghold, Feralas Neutral Towns with Alliance and Horde Fires Area 52, Netherstorm Everlook, Winterspring Booty Bay, Stranglethorn Vale Cenarion Hold, Silithus Gadgetzan, Tanaris In addition to the material bonus that comes with desecrating the opposing faction's flames, don't forget that you have good reason to keep your own faction's flames burning! Keeping that flame alive provides a really nice buff that you ought to take advantage of, or at least help your fellow member of the Horde/Alliance by preserving that buff for them. Is it worth fighting tooth and nail for? That's up to you to decide!Update: Reader Elory has made a checklist using this information and some additional information provided by our other readers.
