Micro-Holiday: Dive into Vashj'ir for Luminous Luminaries

Patch 7.1.5 brings with it a variety of updates and new content. One of these new additions is what we’re calling micro-holidays. Each one is meant to make the world feel more alive without making players feel like they need to participate for big rewards—while still providing some more variety and fun.

Date Event Description
January 21-23 Call of the Scarab To commemorate the first ringing of the Scarab Gong on January 23, 2006, players will be able to relive a portion of the Ahn’Qiraj gate opening by collecting items for turn-in. The winning faction will then be able to claim bragging rights and have their faction flag hang over the gates until the next Call of the Scarab micro-holiday event.
February 23 Hatching of the Hippogryphs Those who head to Feralas will be able to bear witness to the yearly hatching of the hippogryphs. You may even make a little friend for the day.
April 5 March of the Tadpoles Each year, the Winterfin murlocs allow their tadpoles free reign over their village.  You can make a difference by adopting your favorite, feeding it, and protecting it from nearby predators.
April 28 Volunteer Guard Day Step into the shoes of a guard in the major cities with a /salute and you’ll get to serve and protect the city just like them. Stay vigilant and watch out for any invaders.
May 10-12 Spring Balloon Festival Several of Azeroth’s characters – some of whom you might recognize – are giving tours of Azeroth in their hot air balloons.  You’ll enjoy their commentary and interact with other citizens as you take in the scenery.
May 27 Glowcap Festival Head to Sporeggar in Zangarmarsh, collect some rare mushrooms, and help the sporelings heal the great mushroom, Fshoo. You’ll gain a bit of Sporeggar reputation for helping them out.
June 6-8 Thousand Boat Bash Thousand Needles is where the biggest bash on boats can be found in Azeroth. It’s a chance to unwind a little, away from the lurking danger of the Burning Legion.
August 10-12 Un’goro Madness Dinosaurs are running amok in Un’Goro. Help quell the rampage and you’ll be awarded some temporary evolution buffs.

These holidays are just the beginning and we’ll be adding more even beyond the patch so keep an eye on the calendar!
