Harvest Festival (8-13 September)
![]() |
![]() |
As the harvest is gathered in for the autumn, both the Horde and Alliance pause to remember that greater harvest already gathered, those heroes who laid down their lives to protect their people. In particular, Uther Lightbringer of the Alliance and Grom Hellscream of the Horde are remembered for their sacrifice in the great Wars. This memorial celebration includes pilgrimages to the graves of the fallen heroes and grand feasting. The official site page for this festival may be found here.
Harvest Feast tables are set outside the main gates of Orgrimmar and Ironforge, laden with Harvest food. Also, the shades of the other fallen heroes may be glimpsed in the area.
Harvest Items
Harvest food items (except bread) may be freely taken from the feasting tables. They stack in 20s, are BoP, and have no expiration. Harvest Bread is summoned by the use of the Bounty of the Harvest horn (see below) and expires if you log out for more than 15 minutes.
- Harvest Boar, Harvest Fish, Harvest Fruit, Harvest Bread - Restores 2% of your Health per second for 25 seconds.
- Harvest Nectar - Restores 2% of your Mana per second for 30 seconds.
Also, the two questgivers are selling an assortment of fireworks, including:
- Blue, Green, and Red Fireworks (20c each)
- Yellow Rose Firework (40c)
- Red Streaks Firework (50c)
Quests
Note: As of this weekend, Blood Elves and Draenei cannot complete the quest. This is a known issue, but probably won’t get fixed this year. Better luck next September…
The quests to honor the two great heroes are given out near the feast tables outside the gates of Ironforge and Orgrimmar. You will be given a memorial tribute pouch which you must take to the appropriate memorial. Right-click the pouch in your inventory while standing at the memorial to get quest credit. For the effort, you are given a commemorative book as well as team reputation. For max level characters, the quests yield 3g 96s in lieu of xp.
| Quest | Given By | Description | Reward |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alliance | |||
| [60] Honoring a Hero Obtainable at L30 |
Wagner Hammerstrike, Ironforge | Light a candle at Uther’s Tomb, Sorrow Hill, Western Plaguelands | 6600 xp, 200 Alliance rep, Jennre Loresinger’s For the Light! |
| Uther’s Tomb is located at the southeast end of Sorrow Hill, near Darrowmere (52.1, 83.2). If you’re not yet farming Sorrow Hill, you can get there by running up the river east of Southshore in Hillsbrad. The river eventually leads to Darrowmere and has a small number of L21-26 mobs, most of which can be avoided (lower level mobs are on the west bank). Run up into the hills west of where the river flows out of Darrowmere and you’ll reach the tomb; it’s the large building just above the “D” in “Chillwind” on the world map. Sorrow Hill proper is infested with L51-53 Scourge undead, but the tomb itself is clear. | |||
| Horde | |||
| [60] Honoring a Hero Obtainable at L30 |
Javnir Nashak, Orgrimmar | Take a bottle of spirits to the Hellscream Memorial, Demon Fall Canyon, Ashenvale | 6600 xp, 200 Horde rep, Tolven Warsong’s The Horde’s Hellscream |
| The memorial is located near (82.8, 79.0) in southeastern Ashenvale. If you look at the world map, you’ll see a grayish valley southeast of Splintertree post at the south end of Felfire Hill. The monument is located in the western part of that valley. If you make your way down through the Warsong Lumber Camp, the entrance to the valley is just south of the bridge from Warsong to Felfire Hill. The monument has several L29-30 Searing Infernals (individually pullable). Yes, this is harder than the Alliance quest (again). | |||
Two days after completing the quest, you should receive a letter from the questgiver in the mail containing a Bounty of the Harvest, a horn that summons 4 Harvest Bread (12 hour cooldown).
