The Lunar New Year festivities begin on January 27 and will continue until February 14. Decorations will be placed in every capital and all the regions of Nighthaven and Moonglade. On January 29, the day of the Lunar New Year, celebrations will occur in Stormwind, Thunder Bluff, Booty Bay and Moonglade. To close the celebrations a final firework display will be held in Moonglade on February 13.
New quests can be found during the celebration period, offering holiday related items to celebrate one’s elders and ancestors. A number of Elder Ghosts can be found in Azeroth, and players will be rewarded with a token each time a new Elder is found. These tokens can be redeemed for special holiday items including fireworks, costumes, recipes to create red Lunar holiday clothing, a special red lockbox with a surprise inside, and much more.
A large raid encounter boss named Omen will also appear during the holiday period. The appearance of Omen is closely linked to the Lunar New Year and is inspired by the tale of Nian from Chinese lore. New players will be pleased to hear that this will be the only raid encounter where they are able to fight a raid style boss.
