Good work!

Comment by Ehtbit

I'm a convert from another game that's more "Square" than this one. Festivals have fun items that you can collect in that world. What is this for exactly, and not to be greedy, but what do we get out of it besides some fireworks?

Harvest Fest is here now, update?

Here's a link to a quick video on everything you need to know for this festival (covers Horde and Alliance).

The Anxious Spiritshard, Forlorn Spiritshard, Peaceful Spiritshard and Vengeful Spiritshard visual buff lasts for 1 hour and also applies it to your mount.

Comment by stym

I'm going to get samples from each of the spiritshards. Those have "future toy" written all over them as they are pure visual effects with no utility or buff whatsoever.

This wouldn't be the first time Blizzard issues out a vanity item, then later adds it to the toy box. That's happened before, when the toy box was already live (e.g. Scroll of Storytelling)

Comment by Wowzir

Wording in the guide should reflect that you can choose ONE of the four spiritshards.

Comment by Emberthorn

To clarify the quest reward description in the guide: you get three charges of one of the four colors shards, you don't get to choose three of the four colors

Just my thoughts about making the Spiritshard's into toys. Could it be that Blizz intentionally wanted to limit any sort of incentive to complete the quest being that we are honoring the fallen Horde hero. I feel like getting an achievement or permanent vanity item would cheapen that act. Also, if they gave a permanent item like a toy, what would be the incentive to honor the fallen next year? Rather than making it an act of vanity, it should be one of dignity because you want to, not because you want a toy.

Rest in peace Uther, you may be gone but your memory will always live through us.

Comment by Bystrazer

For the Light! reads:

His name brought Light to darkest Azeroth.
His valor tore the walls of mis'ry down.
The Silver Hand would ne'er do better more
than give the world the knight who'd give himself.
His fame was not that which he sought to grow,
nor was the lordship over his own kind.
Instead he chose to fight for Lordaeron
to hope his kin would have to fight no more.
The tragic tale of this most holy knight
will never end with his unholy death.
We honor him, and we shall give him thanks!
Uther always shall know glory and Light!

Comment by JacobWonder

What's the point if they aren't toys?..

Comment by Barleduq

Unfortunately, the pictures of each color do not say which spirit shard gives that color. Could you please update to include that? I realize it's almost over, but it would be useful for the future.

Thank you.

Anything new in 2016?

Comment by avatarofshadow

Instead of making it a toy, what if Blizz made a vendor who would sell your character only the Spiritshards you've unlocked via the yearly quest ? That way, you'd have a reason to go visit the shrine all year long, to get more of the consumable, and a reason to do the quest on multiple toons over multiple years.

This seems like it would really keep in the theme of remembering the fallen, by making the journey over and over.

I didn't do it last year, and I'm not going to do it this year, but if it became something to collect, and maybe add an achieve for doing it once, and an achieve for doing it four times, then I'd feel motivated to participate.

And maybe add a toybox item for doing it all four times. I mean, we're talking about a four year commitment here, but make the toybox item something OTHER than the Spiritshard effect. Something to honor the dead hero for your faction.

For a week long festival there really isn't much to do

Comment by ConstableGoody

I always felt like they should just merge this into Pilgrim's bounty. I'm always getting the 2 confused. Does this festival serve any purpose?

Comment by 1782194

I'd rather work on the Fisher Friends stuff than waste time on this.

Comment by Skygubbins

"You will receive a Bounty of the Harvest by mail a few days after completing this quest."

You guys might want to have a look at this. The Bounty of the Harvest arrived just a minute after completing the quest.

Comment by kamuul

There is a new quest ("Remembrance") for Tauren who completed the heritage armor quests. Talk to Spiritwalker Ussoh in Durotar, near Javnir Nashak.

Comment by priestguy

If this is the Harvest Festival guide, then why the Noblegarden page graphic?

Comment by CherylK72

Anyone else having issues with turning in the quest? There's nothing outside of IF but I can see the question mark on my mini map.

Comment by sakera

The ending date for 2020 event is incorrect:

This event runs from September 29 through October 26

It should be October 6.

Comment by AySz88

You can pick up Harvest Fruit from the tables, but not Harvest Bread, which is an item from Bounty of the Harvest. For 2020, it ended on October 6, not 26.

Comment by N0083rP00F

2022 - Nothing New to worry about - Dates are September 06 to September13 - It happens to overlap the Darkmoon Fair and Time walking week events.

Comment by passivecore

I think there is nothing new for 2023

Comment by GreenKnight2

In 2024 there are a two Adventure Guide tasks that require you to complete the quest and bow to ghost npcs outside of ironforge/orgrimmar, if you do not own The War Within it can be a fast way to complete this months tasks and get the crocodile mount.
