The Ultimate World Event Grief - Lunar Festival

[Roffle]

I am posting this now so that people who haven't started this chain yet, or started their rep grind for Brood can get it done before Lunar Festival begins. Gl HF Additionally the quest can be repeated as many times as you abandon it and pick it up again from Keeper Remulos (Which is of course unlimited) So theoretically, with no GM intervention, you could have eranikus up 24/7 ;p

So there you are, a level 48 enjoying the world event Lunar Festival in Moonglade, dancing, shooting fireworks, having a jolly right time. When all of a sudden OMG DRAGON AND ADDS EVERYWHERE! You glance around and see afk 80s getting killed by aoe shadowbolts, lowbies getting instantly killed by Eranikus. You try and run, but it's too late. Eranikus, Tyrant of the Dream has returned.


As most of you know, Lunar Festival is quickly approaching. This is the single best time of the year for mass player griefing, thanks to the quest
[The Nightmare Manifests]
This quest summons Eranikus in Moonglade, and rest assured Eranikus will triumph, over, and over, and over again.

If you are unfamiliar, this quest is part of the Scepter of the Shifting Sands chain, a vanilla chain that opened up AQ. You do not need to complete the entire chain to have access to this quest, but if you haven't started it there is some work to be done.

To begin your journey to the ultimate grief, you must first begin by being atleast Neutral with the faction Brood of Nozdormu. This can be easily attained by pugging AQ40. (For a quick easy method of getting a group for AQ40 check out my other thread, here)

**If you are Neutral with Brood you don't need to complete these two quests, but if you need rep after AQ40, you'll have to so you can farm carapaces**

Next do the quest [Only One May Rise] This quest requires half a clear of bwl, and will be easily pugged. Note: More than One may rise, the head is now a quest item that everyone with the quest can loot.

Following this is the most tedious part of the whole chain. Farming 200 silithid carapaces for [The Path of the Righteous] This shouldn't take long for any level 80, and trust me, it's worth it.

Now the quest[Anachronos]
Go to Caverns of Time and chat with Anachronos. He will put you on a short chain, that ends up with you needing to go and talk to three dragons. Vaelstrasz in BWL, Azuregos in Azshara, and Eranikus in Sunken Temple.

Once you've finished these quests, you're almost ready for Lunar Festival Anachronos will give you three different quests for the three scepter shards. The only one you should concern yourself with for now is Green. Starting with [Eranikus, Tyrant of the Dream]

Very easy quest chain, the hardest part is the Twilight Corrupter in Duskwood. Plan on bringing friends for that.
Once you get the quest [The Nightmare Manifests] You will be good to go for Lunar Festival!

*Props to Wowhead commentor Hoddie, for compiling this information and making it easier for me to share with all of you.*

Potential Rep Change Notification:
If you play it right, you will not lose rep, but anyone in combat with Eranikus will lose cenarion rep for the npcs that die.


If anyone notices any errors, or has any further suggestions feel free to let me know and I will fix the guide.

Nice post sir. Great information and structured well. +Rep x 4

[unknown1234]

So much work to be done for so much amusement... Too bad I already did it, never thought of this ><

Nicely played, OP

[Pthree]

Haha this is hilarious! +Repx4 from me aswell.

[woozy83]

haha verry nice..can u fail the Quest,and keep doing it?

[Jiraiyaa]

Yup did it a few times last year, nothing feels better than seeing /1 spammed with WTF

[Roffle]

haha verry nice..can u fail the Quest,and keep doing it?

YES! If you complete it. abandon it and it is redoable, if you fail it you can abandon it and redo it. Once you have it, you can do it over, and over, and over again I will add this to the guide

[Roffle]

Only a few days left until Lunar Festival, better get cracking!

[Tassadaru]

As a side-note, some guys on my server did this and there were warnings and bans. Be careful, because Blizzard disapproves player griefing.

[afker]

got a vanila acc full of 60 AQ geared twinks that suits perfectly for this ;D
a few days sspended w/e I'll just use TBC trial since it's not active atm so big deal :P

[stijnherreman]

Just tried this in an empty Moonglade (happened to be close to this step), resisted most of the AoE as a level 80.
Hope to see a lot of lowbies

[aamlord]

Woot I've done the quest up to but not Eranikus yet. I've only started on the blue shard section for different reason (Dirge's Kickin' Chimaerok Chops) so I can quickly pick up Eranikus quest and cast doom in Moonglade. Possibly trigger the event the second the lunar festival starts if there are lots of players already.

+reps!!!

[Zuleyah]

Damn, If only I hadn't completed this already. +rep for guide tho

The adds get stronger the longer they are alive and Eranikus himself is pretty beastly. Have fun with it

[Hellgawd]

I just realized, how long have we had WoWhead tooltips? :O
