First off, we're letting the players know that World of Warcraft's Harvest Festival has recently kicked in. This event, lasting from September 24 to 27, will have players honoring their particular faction's fallen heroes: Uther Lightbringer, for the Alliance, and Grom Hellscream, for the Horde. Players interested in taking part in this event's corresponding quest journey either of these fallen heroes' tombs, where they will leave a tribute.
Completing this quest rewards players with four pieces of Harvest Bread - a consumable that heals your character's HP bar by 2% per second for 25 seconds. Pretty handy for your next dungeon dive. Come this year, however, it doesn't look like all of Azeroth's resident races will be able to partake of this festival. As platonic over at livejournal explained, it seems that the Alliance's Draeneis are unable to complete the quest line, and hence couldn't enjoy its rewards.
The player ticketed GM Darondyn regarding the problem. The GM explained that since the Harvest festival quest was an "Old World" quest, it probably had issues working with WoW's new races. What this basically means is that aside from the Draenei being unable to pay tribute to Uther, the Horde's Blood Elves will be unable to do the same for Grom. This issue's already been forwarded to Blizzard, and should hopefully be addressed soon.
Of course, you can still partake of the other goodies the festival has to offer, such as the buffets being set up over at Orgrimmar (Horde) and Ironforge (Alliance). Aside from being able to toast a mug to your ancestor's spirit in the said areas, you can also pick the up the Harvest Boar, Harvest Fish, and Harvest Fruit, unique (20) items. These consumable have the same 2% heal effect the bread carries. Mages can also drink up the Harvest Nectar,which gives you a 2% mana regeneration per second for 30 seconds. On an off-topic note, this festival coincides with the upcoming patch 2.2.2. Eat, drink, and be merry - there is much to look forward to come you next maintenance!
