Here at WoW.com, we're on a Daily Quest (which we try to do every day, honest) to bring you interesting, informative and entertaining WoW-related links from around the blogosphere. Is there a story out there we ought to link or a blog we should be following? Just leave us a comment and you may see it here tomorrow! Take a look at the links below, and be sure to check out our WoW Resources Guide for more WoW-related sites.
Whether pandering to our pyromaniac tendencies or not, who doesn't enjoy a good world event? And if you really don't enjoy world events, well, my apologies -- though I dare say a lot of players find them a fun diversion from the daily grind. Regardless, if you're interested in checking out this year's Fire Festival, we've got you covered.
- WoW.com has a guide to the achievements and a video guide to killing Ahune.
- Wowhead has a comprehensive guide to the festival.
- WoWWiki gives you a rundown on the event's history as well as the quests and rewards.
- The Lazy Sniper walks you through achievements, quests, and flames.
- Don't want to go it alone? <It came from the Blog> is doing doing a fire festival run this Saturday, the 26th.
- Has the Ice Stone melted? Almost Evil directs us to this helpful answer.

Does anyone remember the world glitch (i think it was when 3.0 patched in...) where every 10-15 secs, that boss emote would go out? Freaking hilarious and annoying at the same time!!!!!
Now just to make vuvuzealas hilarious......

Everyone remembers that. Hence the last link.

Am I correct that I can only get 10 blossoms per day from the dailies? (5 x 2 quests)
I need like 100 more blossoms for the pet and I've already done all of the achievements.

Yep: http://www.wowwiki.com/Burning_Blossom
Lame. It's gonna be a close one.
Pam Jun 23rd 2010 12:07AM
Even tho you have done the achievements, you can still pick up blossoms from all of those places again....5 for alli, 10 horde (if you are an alli toon...opposite for horde).
Viper007Bond Jun 23rd 2010 1:51AM
What places? Not all of the fires?

I need a guide for that stupid torch juggling daily. I cannot for the life of me do it. From what I understand, it's not required for the meta. I'll get my blossoms elsewhere thank you very much.

Turn on shadows and lead the shadow a little bit (get in front of it).
Fletcher Jun 23rd 2010 2:00AM
You do need to do it to learn to juggle so you can do the juggling meta in Dalaran, and to buy torches to juggle with. Otherwise you won't be able to catch them. The trick is to pretty much ignore the torch itself; set your camera looking down on yourself, throw the torch, and chase the little dot of shadow it casts.

@Fletcher I did the meta without doing the daily quest (well the second one catching 10) so it's not necessary to do the torch catching daily to do the Torch Juggler achiev.

Midsummer was my first WoW holiday. I logged into my 30ish hunter and found this strange buff (the damage one). I couldn't figure out what it was and didn't know about things like Wowhead and Wowwiki yet.
Does the experience gain stack with heirlooms? I might take these two weeks to FINALLY grind out that mage I've been planning.
Tirrimas Jun 23rd 2010 10:16AM
I believe it does. My mage was getting mad XP this time last year.

The last link reminds me of someone on my old realm Fenris US on the Alliance side.
