The Lunar Festival has arrived! It is time to launch fireworks, celebrate the lunar new year and show respect to your ancestors. Those who spend their valuable time visiting their ancestors will be greatly rewarded.
As a curiosity, the Lunar Festival is celebrated every year at the beginning of the Chinese New Year. In this year of 2013, it will be from January 27 to February 9.
The druids of Moonlight are in charge of celebrating this event, paying homage to the ancestors of Azeroth by both the Alliance and the Horde.
This year there are not many changes compared to the previous one, however we highlight the following:
Lantern Battles Pets
The novelties of the year 2012 were the 
Moon lantern (Alliance) and the
Festival lantern (Horde) for 50 
Coin of Ancestry, sold by Valadar Starsong. These Lanterns are blue / red respectively and have a style similar to the lanterns that decorate all areas of the Lunar Festival. The two are linked when equipped, meaning that players can get the opposing faction's Lantern pet at a Nuetral auction house.
In 2013, the pets are of the whole account which allows to have all the pets in different players through the pet diary.

Some changes from 2012
-
Ancestors of the Cataclysm, 9 new acenstros are added.
If you are looking for the Violet Proto-Drake, you will have to complete the meta-achievement Honor personal ancestors whose longest part is to honor all ancestors. These are divided throughout Azeroth (not Outland).
The Cenarion Circle has even more reason to celebrate this year than any of the previous ones, as this is the first Lunar Festival since the return of many of the ancestors who had fallen in battles of the past: Goldrinn, Malorne, Aviana, and Cenarius himself. However, this celebration is silenced by the eternal torment of one of their own: Augurio, blessed by the goddess of the moon, Elune, has returned again from the depths of the lake of Claro de la Luna. Driven mad by the corrupted magic of the Burning Legion during the War of the Ancients, Elune's blessing of immortality dooms him for all eternity to return to his berserk state with the arrival of the new year. The heroes are called to help alleviate the ancestor's suffering, in the hope that perhaps next year he will return with a clearer mind.

Where there is an ancestor there is a treasure
As we have just explained, honoring the ancestors is one of the main activities of the Lunal Festival. This year, we will find 75 ancestors scattered throughout Azeroth (not Outland).
Contrary to what can happen with the Love in the Air event, it is necessary to be level 80 to complete the quest, since there are ancestors within the Northrend dungeons that require that level to access.
The Ancients will be grateful that we honor their memory, and by completing the quest each Ancestor has, you will earn 75 reputation points from all major cities in your faction and one
Coin of Ancestry. The coins, we will use them to buy some objects necessary for the festival and to complete other achievements so Keep them well!
In addition, for all the effort that you will make throughout Azeroth, you will receive in your mailbox, a Lucky red envelope in which we can find a Elder's Moonstone or a Lucky rocket firecracker.
As soon as possible we will put the maps (which are in process) of each continent so that it is easier for you to find the ancestors.

To complete this mission we must buy fireworks in the Lunar Festival Merchant and wear them close. The fireworks tracas as comBlue rocket firecrackerthey require a fireworks launcher, which we can find around any Lunar Festival campground. We just have to buy the quantity specified in the mission, use them and deliver it again.
We will receive a
Invitation to the Lunar Festival that we can use to teleport to Clear of the moon while we are under the Great Moonlight (a huge ray of light located in the Lunar Festival camps). Once in Claro de la Luna, we can teleport back to all the main cities of the faction from the appropriate beam of light (distinguished by the race of the npc that are around each beam of light). This invitation has an expiration date, but we can get another invitation from Harbinger of the Lunar Festivalat any time during the festival.

Valadar Starsong
Start: Harbinger of the Lunar Festival
Ends: Valadar Starsong
To get to Clear of the moon, we will look for Valadar Starsongwhich is located in the northeast of the shelf near Lake Elune'ara. He will welcome us to the Moonlight and the celebration of the Lunar Festival and will grant us some new missions. Finishing this mission may be a requirement to start the following ones. -
Starts and ends: Valadar Starsong
The mission tells us that it is a gang group mission, although it should not be necessary for all players to pass level 70 to complete it with ease. We just have to buy (or acquire through missions) some rockets from the Lunar Festival Merchant and go down to the houses of Stormrage in the Clear of the moon, southeast of Lake Elune'ara. We will fire the fireworks at the nearby launchers to call the Minion of Augurio. We can useElune's candle obtained in of Valadar Starsongfor 10 Silver, to deal additional damage to minions and Augury itself.
We will continue to launch rockets and attacks against his minions and Augury at last it will appear. Is it level ?? (Boss) so his real level is probably the average level band plus 3. Even so, he is not a complicated boss (you have more information about the fight here). After defeating Augurio, we must be near his corpse to obtain the
Elune's Blessing, a necessary perk to complete the mission. We will not obtain any special reward from his corpse. Once we have the Blessing of Elune we return to Valadar to complete the mission that will reward us with
Lantern of Elune that convert the
Solid stone en
Elunarite stone. It's not amazing at all, but it's pretty!
