Saturday marks the beginning of this year's Lunar Festival, an in-game wow gold event celebrating the real life celebration of the Lunar New Year. With plenty of quests, party favors and, of course, shiny clothes, you'll have many chances to complete the meta-Achievement To Honor One's Elders. Not only will this result in the title "Elder", but you'll be another step closer to a Violet Proto-Drake,

Having experienced this event twice, the big question is what's new this year? Though all of the Achievements are new, they cover older quests. The only difference is the brand new Elders of Northrend Achievement and the additional elders added to the Elders of Dungeons Achievement.

You will also recieve an invitation to the party going down in Moonglade. You can use the wow gold invitation in the circle of light in the cities to get to Moonglade. Once there, head to the docks over the lake to talk to Valadar Starsong. He gives quests that lead to the following Achievements.

WoWWiki has an excellent walkthrough of the pre-Wrath 50 Coins for both Alliance and Horde. Wow-Pro has a detailed walkthrough for the Horde including maps showing Elder location in hard to find wow gold areas. Exact locations of the new 25 Northrend Elders can be found in this forum thread, but has not been verified. Because the Elders of Dungeons Achievement includes Utgarde Pinnacle, your character will have to be at least 75 to attain the meta-Achievement. But it may be worth it for lower level characters to find what Elders they can as each comes with their own reputation reward. And, of course, heading into the opposing faction's capitals is going to be tough (except for stealthing classes). Why not form a raid and also knock out one of these Achievements while you're at it:
