Unsubbed? Want the Lunar Festival prizes? Not to fear, Horde Guide is here!
TL;DR - Lunar Festival Starter Edition Map on a level 20 to get toys from Lunar Festival without resubbing. <3Welcome!Are you currently unsubbed, but have played WoW long enough to care about holiday items and the Toybox?Don't wanna pay $15 or the 110k+ gold for a Token just to get a Hearthstone and two dragon costumes, no matter how cool they are?Well, as luck would have it, you can actually get the 20-30 coins required for everything on a Veteran Starter Account!Theoretically this can also be achieved on a non-Veteran Starter, but it's much, much easier to do it on a Veteran's, as they're still allowed to create Allied Race characters.YOU WILL NEED:Walking Kalimdor with the EarthmotherThe Azeroth CampaignANY ALLIED RACE ALREADY UNLOCKED ON YOUR ACCOUNT!PREFERABLE SETUP:Highmountain Druid (Guardian for no Daze, stealth+travel/aquatic forms, level 20 for riding without purchase)Azure or Crimson Water Strider for water travelTHE PATH (THE MAP!):(yes, 11 is marked twice in Kalimdor's map, that was my bad!)Lunar Festival Starter Edition MapTHE TIME (AND COINS NEEDED):Before you get used to NPC locations (and especially going after the 30 required for the Hearthstone), this could take about an hour and a half to two hours.For a single item that costs 25 coins (so a "full map clear without optionals"), about an hour. This is definitely for those desperate for the toys, but not enough to resub!(Also amount of coins needed - 20 for both Green and Blue dragon Bodies, 25 for the Head and Tail pieces individually, and 30 for the Hearthstone, meaning you'll be doing this about six times!)WHY?I love the toybox. From costumes to transformation items, to the various Hearthstones and Pepe's Whistle, I love having shiny new things. So, when Lunar Festival came around this year and actually added new things for once, I was a bit sad thanks to being unsubbed 'til Zandalari come out.However, with a little digging, I realized it's actually entirely possible to get those rewards without resubbing just for the event! I made up this guide for my partner and friends, mostly because WoWhead's actually has a number of NPCs in the wrong locations (Barrens Pool for instance, when it's at the Crossroads).HELP!See comment below for in-depth path and things the visual guide might not have covered, including the WoWhead pages of each Elder and special notes on location.I don't really plan to do an Alliance version of this guide, but given it's very reliant on the flight points granted by those Heirloom toys, I'm sure it wouldn't be hard for the blues!
