Great guide, very helpful for someone like me who hasn't participated in previous festivals. Just had a quick question, I play on Horde, so if I use an Alliance character to complete Elders of the Alliance will it count towards the achievement for the festival on my horde characters?

It should, but I haven't been able to test whether the Alliance elders will offer their quests to Alliance players. If you could test and tell me whether it works, I'd be very grateful. I won't be able to test before Tuesday, as I am currently abroad.

i think you missed one in the entrance to zg

You are wrong. The single acheivements are NOT account-wide only the meta acheivement. That means you could do the alliance acm with an ally char and the horde acm with a horde char. but than you are missing an acm for both.

The Cataclysm zone Elders have not reset this year (Well, for me on Alliance / Dalaran US).  The rest have.

I used the conditional tense, so I can't be "wrong"

All I did was make an assumption. I'll check things tomorrow and I'll update the guide accordingly.

I've just created a horde character on a random server and all my Lunar Festival achievements are completed. So you can do Elders of the Alliance on an Alliance character and that will give it to all your Horde characters (same for Elders of the Horde).

I don't understand why people make erroneous statements with such confidence. I mean, it's not like it takes long to check how the account-bound achievement system works.

I can also confirm this since the Elders of the Alliance achievement is on my achivement panel and it did count towards the meta, so I'm glad to see that I don't have to risk it with my Horde characters hehe.
Again, thanks for the great guide.

I don't know if this still applies but last year i found a few elders that werent on any of the achievement lists,might be worth checking out for people that need a few extra elder coins.

Is there a way to get to Elder Skyseeker at FreeWind Post in thousend Needles if you can't fly? I do not have a FP (Horde)  to there and can't seem to find my way to the bridges over to there that I have seen mentioned other places.

I didn't find any, where were they?

Sorry for the lack of answer, but you should have made a specific topic for that question
