It’s too bad that honoring and desecrating fires will not give you anything besides Burning Blossoms and achievement progression. I remember back when they used to award XP (or gold if you were level-capped), but by last year they had removed the XP/gold reward. It was the same case with the Lunar Festival’s Elders.

While I’ve been able to get the torch juggling achievement without it, using the hotkey method Allison described, there is an addon that makes it so much easier. (I believe it is simply called “Juggler”) Instead of having to quickly press a key over and over, you simply scroll your mouse wheel.

We did get gold and/or XP last year. I used mine to fund "The Insane" title I got shortly after.

And instead of an Add on it's really easy to hotkey the mouse scroll button yourself, I don't see how an addon that takes up space and possibly makes the game run slower is better.

I used to love doing the holiday events on lower toons for the XP. That would put a damper on things for my 2 lower level toons. The gold was pretty decent too at max level. I wonder if these quests will reward guild rep. If so that would be a nice thing.

@Deborah
Maybe I am confusing it with the Lunar holiday's removal of the XP/gold rewards. We'll find out for sure tomorrow.

Like I said, sure, you can use a hotkey to juggle. For those who don't want to remap anything, there is an addon, a small one at that. You can load it up just for getting the achievement then get rid of it, so I don't see why that would cause an issue with performance.

It awards XP gold and guild rep.
