[GUIDE] Midsummer Festival

[chriswt]

I found the following guide online and thought I'd share it with everybody. (I found other guides but none detailing the fastest route to take to extinguish and honor the flames, so I hope this isn't a repost).

This guide is designed for HORDE and is taken from here.

Midsummer Fire Festival
Bonfires Guide

*Note: This guide is for the Horde side and involves going into Horde cities. Alliance players may use this guide but will be at a disadvantage because they will miss flight points. You have been warned.

Before You Start:
This guide will involve a lot of traveling. Make sure your character has a fair amount of money to pay for the flying, an epic ground mount with any speed-increasing talents or spells you can use, and possibly a friend so you don’t get bored. In addition, this guide will enter all Alliance cities and steal their flames. Because you will likely die several times trying to accomplish this, I recommend you leave your raid armor in the bank and bring along some sort of holiday set. I use my Bloodsail Admiral set for this stuff. Do not leave any sort of armor that has durability in your bags, as it will get broken when you resurrect at a spirit healer (because there is a 99% chance you will.) Once you’re set, start at step one and shove off!

28. Fly to Undercity from Tranquillien.
29. Fly to Silvermoon and use the translocation orb to get to Undercity.

If all else fails, resurrect at the spirit healer. Either way, head west into Westfall. *Note: At this point you will have completed “A Thief’s Reward” which will earn you an achievement in addition to the others earned by this guide.
47. Run to Sentinel Hill and desecrate the flame there (56, 53). Run south and follow the path east into Duskwood.
48. Head far east to Darkshire, desecrating the flame there (73, 54) before continuing east through Deadwind Pass into the Swamp of Sorrows.

50. Fly to Booty Bay.
51. Fly to Grom’gol if you are hated with Booty Bay.
52. Wherever you flew to, head just north of Booty Bay and desecrate the Alliance flame (33, 73) and honor the Horde flame (32, 75). Fly back to Stonard and head south into the Blasted Lands.
53. Desecrate the Alliance flame at Nethergarde Keep (58, 17) before heading south through the Dark Portal into Outland.

Note: At this point in the guide, you should have finished the achievements “Extinguishing Eastern Kingdoms”, “Extinguishing Kalimdor”, “Flame Keeper of Eastern Kingdoms” and “Flame Keeper of Kalimdor”. If you do not have these completed, go back and check over the guide and be sure you have not skipped any steps.

OUTLAND SECTION


Before You Start Outland:
Outland will also require a fair deal of travel. However, you will not be entering Alliance cities. Because of this, you can pick up your normal gear from the bank. Also, it helps incredibly if you have all of the flight points and an epic flying mount. When the word “fly” is used in this guide, it means with your flying mount. Flight points, if used at all, will be denoted by “take the flight path to…” in this segment.
Almost done!

1. Starting at the Dark Portal (right where the last guide left off), fly towards Honor Hold and desecrate the Alliance flame on the path leading east out of HH (62, 58).
2. Fly north and honor the Horde flame right outside of Thrallmar (57, 42).
3. Either take the flight point to Swamprat Post or fly towards Telredor.
4. Desecrate the Alliance flame near Telredor (68, 51) and then fly west towards Zabra’jin.
5. Honor the Horde flame at 35, 51. Fly south into Nagrand or take the flight point to Garadar.
6. Follow the road west of Garadar and honor the Horde flame there (50, 34).
7. Fly south and desecrate the Alliance flame outside of Telaar (49, 69).
8. Fly east into Terrokar Forest and honor the Horde flame outside of Stonebreaker Hold (52,42). Near the Horde flame should be the Alliance flame, outside of Allerian Stronghold (54, 55).
9. Continue east into Shadowmoon Valley. Honor the Horde flame outside of Shadowmoon Village (33, 30) and desecrate the Alliance flame outside of Wildhammer Stronghold (39, 54).
10. Fly to Shattrath or take the flight point there.
11. Note: There MAY be a flame in Shattrath, but I have not confirmed this. Either way, it is not required for any of the achievements.
12. Take the flight point (do not fly, it will be far more painstaking) to Thunderlord Stronghold. Once there, honor the Horde flame outside (49, 58). Fly west near Sylvanaar to desecrate the Alliance flame (41, 66).
13. Fly east into Netherstorm or take the flight point to Area 52. Honor the Horde flame there (32, 68) and desecrate the Alliance flame there (31, 62).
14. Those should be your last two flames. Congratulations! You’ve done the worst part of Midsummer!

EDIT: Bolded the co-ordinates so that it is (hopefully) easier to read.

Why the hell do we need a second guide?

[403Forbidden]

Both guides are EXACTLY the same.
Question is, who wrote it first, and who stole it?
