The Lunar Festival in World of Warcraft celebrates the Chinese New Year with festivities featuring fireworks, dragons, and lanterns. This event occurs in Moonglade, where druids gather to pay tribute to the Elders of Azeroth, who make their only appearance during this special time.
During the Lunar Festival, you’ll collect a special currency called Coins of Ancestry. You can use these coins to buy various items, including appearances, fireworks, food, Battle Pets, and the impressive firework-themed mount. However, acquiring the costly Lunar Launcher can be challenging without the right information. Fortunately, we’ve prepared a guide to help you navigate the process.
How to Obtain the Lunar Launcher
To purchase the Lunar Launcher, you’ll need 75 Coins of Ancestry. You can acquire these through two main activities: completing the Lunar Preservation quest and collecting coins from Elders scattered across Azeroth. Once you have enough coins, visit Valadar Stormsong in Moonglade to obtain your new mount.
Remember, Coins of Ancestry are not Warbound, so you must collect all 75 coins on a single character.
Lunar Preservation Quest
A simple yet rewarding quest called Lunar Preservation grants you 25 Coins of Ancestry toward your total. To start, go to Myrael Lunarbloom in Moonglade at coordinates 53.2, 36.0. She will send you to use the Staff of Moonflowers at various Moonwells located in places such as Ashenvale, Felwood, Feralas, Moonglade, Stonetalon Mountains, Duskwood, and Mount Hyjal.
This quest can only be completed once per character.
A quest marker will guide you to each location. Make sure to reach all the spots within 60 minutes to avoid having to restart. Fortunately, the quest is straightforward, and you should finish well within the time limit.
We suggest undertaking this quest as a druid, since their Teleport: Moonglade or Dreamwalk abilities will greatly ease the journey.
Locations of All Elders
To collect the remaining coins you need, travel around Azeroth to interact with Elder NPCs who will each reward you with one Coin of Ancestry. These Elders are located across multiple regions and may take some time to find. Additionally, some are situated within the territory of the opposing faction, so be cautious of high-level guard NPCs nearby. If you’re prepared for this lengthy journey, below is a complete list of each Elder and their locations.
If you can’t find an Elder where they’re meant to be, check for Zidormi in that zone and ask to go back in time.
