If you’re getting towards the end of the area you’re questing in (most noticeably in outlands), the rate of exp from clearing quests can really start to tail off as you’re specnding all your time running between quest givers and objectives to finish off that last line. At this point, why not go travelling?

If you stop off at every contested area in kalimdor and eastern kingdoms (not to mention any outlands areas you pop into), you can rack up about 100g and a huge chunk of exp.

Fly to the alliance town in an area and pop over to the bonfire. Then mount up and run to the horde town in that area and snuff theirs. That’s 10g (or at least, it is at level 65) and a fair bit of experience right there, and if you repeat that in every area you have the flight point in you can rake in some serious cash.

Stop at the blood elf capital (Silvermoon I think?) if you’re alliance for some extra gold, it’s so deserted over there that as long as you can take out the odd level 65 guard you’ll be able to snuff out their fire easily. But a warning, there’s a hell of a gathering of guards at the entrance, so it might only be soloable as a rogue with vanish, since at least one of them can detect stealth.

There are twenty bars in a single level and each friendly fire you visit gets you about 1 bar of exp. I dont know about exp, but the rewards of money and flowers are doubled for snuffing out an enemies fire.

The Bonfires Blessing must have an internal timer to it. A 30% chance would have to be proccing a LOT more than it is if it’s free. No idea what it is, but it looks as if it’s quite long.

A nice point of note, I think, is snuffing the opposite faction’s bonfires. There was mention of a post about the profits, but in terms of just raw experience, my lvl 67 last night snuffed the alliance fire in Nagrand and got over 11K xp for it. It does decrease for lower level areas, but even your own factions, pre 70, give a good amount of xp for a simply visit. It is well worth looking into.

I should Probably Say that the quest im refering to are attainable from the fire eater at your capital bonfire. and Word of warning to alliance. Ironforge fire is bugged so the catching quest is really hard.

This is completely missing the midsummer quests in your capitals. Everyone has an alt in a capital city which is just sitting there whilst you occupy your time with something more important.
These quests are easy to do in under 5 mins. They reward 1/11 ish of a lvl per quest and there are two dailies.
Thats 2/11 and with the remaining days thats atleast a whole level simply by logging on.
Also those redundant 70s that cant be used for grinding or doing dailies can make you 24G a day simply by doing these dailies. This is an awesome beneefit to you if you are like me a casual player. I have leveld 5 chars already from a whole level. It has really escaped those long grinds and quest runs.
TAKES 5 MINS PER CHAR. 4 70s is 100G in 20 mins. GUARANTEED. ur not going anywhere. GET THERE FAST. This is the best festival yet

A minor correction: The Fire Festival Fury buff doesnt add fire damage to your attacks, it just causes fire damage to anyone who attacks you. Interestingly, enemies will continue to take fire damage even if they are hammering on something like a Power Word Shield, making it different than Thorns and Retribution Aura which only work if the player is getting hit and taking damage.

The Bonfires Blessing says it procs 30% of the time but it seems alot lower to me… Still, at level 39, it does more damage than a 5 point eviserate on my rogue.

These buffs do make leveling alot easier but they do have their downsides. The Bonfire Blessing is restricted to the region you are in and most fires are easisly snuffed by a passing 70. Bonfire Blessing will not carry over to instances or BG, so don’t count on it. A downside to the other 2 buffs is that if you die they are gone and you will have to go all the way back to a town in order to get the buff back. It doesnt seem like much of a hassel but if you are in the middle of questing, you dont want to hike back in forth between town and your destination.

the ribbon dance buff is a 3 min stacking buff which stacks every 3 seconds to a maximum of 60 mins (1 min worth of dancing)
