For those wishing to partake in the Lunar Festival seasonal quests, here are a few things to know before you dive in and a few things to make your journey a bit easier.
You must know that, like most seasonal quests, these are pointless to most people but you gain Cenarion Hold faction for starting the quests (not much, less than 200) and you get faction with your 4 races for each Elder you speak to (50 per race). There are also other rewards and fireworks give 30 minute buffs. So if this is cool enough for you, continue....
Firstly, go to any of the three capital cities and find a wandering guy with Lunar festival name and she'll tell you to talk to a reveler or something. you find a huge beam of light, a lot of firework laungers and npcs standing around. talk to the reveler and youll get a quest to fire off a bunch of fireworks that you just buy from the reveler. upon completion you get a note that teleports you to Moonglade, so even a lvl 1 can do this quest (but i wouldnt suggest it).
Moonglade is currently gankland like never before. there will be a platform in the city where a guy has several repeatable quests but one of his quests is to get a blessing Eluine's (i think).... to do this, Omen must die.
Omen spawns near the alliance FP into Moonglade (thanks blizz) which is also near the graveyard.
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO KILL OMEN!. Omen has (just shy of) 1 million hit points. He is a raid boss. If you just chill out near him, eventually a group of Alliance or Horde will gather to kill him. again, it doesnt matter which it is.
To get the blessing, you just need to be in the area when he dies so that you can rush in and stand within his corpse (there is a red crystal inside him) and within 30 or so seconds, youll get your blessing (which is a 1 hour long BoK ....... ).
I have done this with both Moo and Ore... and Ore did it with a raid group of Horde (that was fun). If you arent 60... dont get any closer than wand range and back up if he starts his starfall AoE.
now, the rest of the quests are to collect the Coins of Ancestry. There are 50 around the world, only a 60 can hope to get all 50 but even at 47, i am able to get MOST of them. So far, i have been using a map and a notepad list.
The map has been mostly accurate. I have not finished Kalimdor but on the Eastern Kingdoms, i have collected all the coins except Scholo, Strat, LBRS and ST. The map was accurate on all except what is listed as "Turm der Kronenwache" which is marking the Eastwall Tower. that is incorrect. it is actually at the Crown Guard Tower (39.75). i have even retrieved the Undercity coin (quite easy).
This is the map, if you do not use any UI that gives Map Coordinates, you can spot check the Elders easily, I had no troubles with it. wow.ingame.de/screenshots/pics/InWoW_4914.jpg
and here is a list with coords (where available):
