The War Within Season 2 Midsummer Festival Full Guide

What’s new in Midsummer Fire Fest in patch TWW - 11.1.7?

There are some brand new additions to the legendary Midsummer Festival added with this newest iteration of the event. We’re getting a bunch of cool cosmetics and the drops from the boss Frost Lord Ahune, which includes two new weapons.

We’re also getting the Midsummer in Khaz’Algar, and the new camps will be scattered across the 4 zones in Khaz’Algar (Isle of Dorn, The Ringing Deeps, Hallowfall, Azj’Kahet) - The camps will be located within the zones, and you can find the bonfires also in the zones mentioned above.

Here are the newly added Items in Midsummer with this patch:

The above items that drop from the boss are account-wide drops, one per day. The drop rate increases each subsequent day until you obtain the item. Frost Lord Ahune also drops the following, and these can be obtained even on other characters multiple times a day, but the drop chance is lower:

There are also two new achievements that you can obtain through the event that’s available for a limited amount of time, but will be available again once the event comes back each upcoming year:

• Flame Keeper of Khaz Algar (Horde)
• Flame Warden of Khaz Algar (Alliance)

What’s the objective of the Midsummer Event?

Like all the holiday events, this is an event that will last for a short period. Specifically, Midsummer Festival lasts from June 21 - July 5, 2025. After that, you would need to wait another year for it to come back, so trying to get all the things, cosmetics, and achievements in this cycle is important, and here’s what the general objective consists of:

There are a lot of Bonfires spread across the zones in Azeroth. Your goal is to go from one to the other and light or extinguish them. You will earn experience, gold, and a currency: Burning Blossom.

• Spend Burning Blossom at the vendor to earn some cosmetics, mounts, pets, and toys
• You can earn the title Flame Keeper (As a Horde) and Flame Warden (As an Alliance player)
• Fight Lord Ahune and get some of the unique cosmetics only tied to this boss, with drops awaiting you each day.
• You can dance around the Ribbon Pole to gain an experience buff; this will be a significant boost during this event if you wish to level an Alt character.
• There are various activities that you can explore in your major cities.

Bonfires in the Midsummer Festival

There are a lot of Bonfires that are spread across Azeroth, each one of which can get you some progress through achievements. Here’s in which zones you can find all of the Bonfires and light them up or perhaps extinguish them if required.
 

There are some Bonfires that differ for each faction, usually in the zones that have multiple quest hubs for different factions, and also in zones that only have specific bonfires for one faction.

The main hubs are located within the big and main cities of each faction. The following hubs for each faction can be found here:
 

Within these hubs, you can find different questlines and spend your currency, mainly a hub where you will progress through events and finalize your progress (Getting more Burning Blossom Currency and spending it on different cosmetics).
