We have a pretty short weekly today, as Blizzard sum up the week’s official news. With no mention of the 12.1 PTR build, all we have is two events and a reminder of the Discord Portal Rooms officially partnered discords.
The Midsummer Fire Festival rages on for another two weeks with some fancy new rewards, including a cool roc mount, Aerial quests, and more. Then there’s the new Darkspear Dash micro-holiday, where players can race across Azeroth, inspired by the Running of the Trolls community event!
Tend Azeroth’s Fires—the Midsummer Fire Festival Burns Until July 5
“Long ago, this elusive summer roc inspired many legends, many believing them to be descendants of phoenixes. The ancient tauren saw these majestic creatures as living manifestations of An’she’s fire.”
Take part in firelit revelry and celebration dedicated to the hottest season of the year. The Midsummer Fire Festival sparks a variety of activities and ignites rewards to light up Azeroth’s summer with new Midsummer Fire Festival highlights for Midnight:
- Take Flight Across Azeroth in New Aerial Quests
- Turn Up the Heat on Frost Lord Ahune for the Chance at a New Mount
- Honor the Flames of Midnight in Five New Zones
- A Plethora of New Cosmetic Items on Holiday Vendors
The Midsummer sky beckons. Take wing, follow the blossoms, and let the stories of Azeroth carry you onward.
Full details are in our previously published article.
Run, Leap, and Spread Cheer: The Darkspear Dash Begins June 27
The Darkspear Dash sweeps in a new surge of activity and celebration across Azeroth from the tropical shores of the Echo Isles to soaring spires of Silvermoon City.
- Starts: June 27 at 12:01 am PDT
- Ends: June 28 at 11:59 pm PDT
This vibrant new micro-holiday invites champions to join the Darkspear trolls and their Zandalari allies in a race across Azeroth, their path marked by celebration, spectacle, and a touch of mischievous magic.
Take a moment to honor tradition, community, and camaraderie in this race across Azeroth inspired by the Running of the Trolls community event—a charity-driven fun run held in support of the Trevor Project.
We look forward to seeing you dash, leap, and celebrate with the Darkspear during this festive (and colorful) holiday—taz’dingo!
