Yea! My Lunar Festival article is finally up!
And only one more holiday – Noblegarden – to go for the holiday article section to be complete! Good thing I have a month or so before that happens so I can at least have the article out before the event starts ^_^.
For those of us who couldn’t tell the difference between the festival’s decor, and what decorations were up for the love event, the Lunar Festival actually started yesterday, Valentine’s Day. Really, no changes came to this event, except for the additions of Elders in Northrend.
Two words: The Forum. If you haven’t stopped by in a while, please do. There is so much to see and talk about…almost too much even for me to keep up with! Kamalia posted some of her Lovely outfits, and many other new readers are posting their favorite RP outfits (which are amazing!). Perhaps you can show us some of your own outfits while you’re there? ^_^
Finally, the “Love is in the Air” outfits are here! I also added some bonus “anti-Valentine’s Day” outfits at the end of the article…just to accommodate everyone ^_^.
My apologies to everyone, too! I, again, under-estimated my time, and couldn’t get to finishing this article in time before the event started. BUT…I hope they’re worth the wait.
Have a great, and lovely, time this V-day!
Stay tuned for Valentine updates! I haven’t done the new seasonal boss, Apothecary Hummel, yet to get the new items. Aside from some really cool necklaces, he drops a gas mask, a oozling like pet, and a rose helm that is either worn behind the ear on ladies or between the teeth on guys! See everything you need to know at Wowhead’s guide.
I am working on the Love is in the Air article, and it should be out by the end of this week (yea!)…the world event itself starts this Sunday, the 7th (Superbowl Sunday >:-| ). And, from browsing around Wowhead.com, and other sources like WoW.com, it looks as though Blizzard is completely changing the event. This is already evident in the fact that they made the Lovely Dresses and Suits, obtained from the Bubbling Cauldron quest, non-BOE in a recent patch. Whether or not they get rid of the original quests for this event, I don’t know, but they did add new dailys, charm bracelets, even lovely vendors! I also read somewhere that they’re adding a new boss to it, too (don’t take my word on that ^_^).
I don’t know how I feel about this change, and if the original “give a love token to an NPC for a present” is still going to be apart of the event (I appreciated its simplicity). While I enjoy new additions, especially possibly new clothing and other specialty items, does every world event need a boss to kill with “epic” rewards? Midsummer Fire Festival and the Lunar Festival has some lore to their bosses, and killing Coren Direbrew during Brewfest is always fun…it just seems like every time Blizzard changes a world event, they just throw in a dungeon. I guess I’ll have to wait and find out what’s all in store for this year ^_^.
Whew! I’m long winded today!
I also wanted to direct everyone to our forums. If you haven’t stopped by there in a while, there are tons of new stuff to look at! Kamalia updated her Dress Catalog and added some new outfits of her own, and a new memeber, Bleshy, post some great Blood Elf outfits. Check them all out!
