The Lunar Festival started this past Sunday and will be running until March 7th -- but there's no reason not to start on this one right now if you're after achievements, reputation, or have simply run out of other grinds. (Really, I mean "grind" in the nicest way possible here -- but there are a heck of a lot of elders to visit if you're trying to get your achievements.) But if you're interested in getting involved, we've rounded up all the web has to say about the Lunar Festival.
- Start at the source with Blizzard's official Lunar New Years information
- In case you missed it, we have our own write-up of elders and achievements
- Check out WoWWiki's event write-up as well as their list of elder locations
- Wowhead has a guide as well as a comprehensive list of achievements
- Flame Shock wrote up a guide and recommends the Lunar Festival Tour Guide addon for your elder-finding needs
- Letters from Birdfall has some great tips on elder locations inside dungeons
- The Fluid Druid offers some practical advice on what you're likely to encounter in this year's festival -- for my part, I keep getting stuck on the "get lost trying to find elder" stage

Anyone else getting sick of lvl 80's randoming normal dungeons to get the elder, then ditching us when they get to him? I have done Nexus 4 times now that i have dinged 71, and never finished it because it is usually a lvl 80 tank and we can never replace him. Its the same with the flowers for love is in the air, maybe they could find a way around this for next year...

yes i am seeing that in heroics too. I queued the relevant dungeons to get the elders but i finshed each one. its not cool to ditch a group half way through. Those that did leave found a quick way to my cross server ignore list

or wait until next year when you can actually fly in azeroth

I just found a great tip for Horde trying to get Darnassus and SW done, completely by accidenct. If you die at the end of the dock in Darnassus, your ghost will actually spawn in Darkshore by Auberdine. If you're willing to take the rez sickness, it'll save you waiting for the boat back to Mist's Edge, if you need to go to Stormwind next. (I vastly prefer catching boats to Stormwind at Auberdine rather than Valiance Keep, the latter is always far more populated on my stupidly faction imbalanced server.)

Just found out that Zygor's Guides bought out TourGuide, so now you can't get the addon without paying Zygor for it... is this allowed? I thought Blizzard's rules changed so you couldn't sell addons (ie, Carbonite going from paid to free).
I'll miss TourGuide if it truly has become inaccessible. It has been an invaluable tool; but it is replaceable.
