TheWoWDBFollowing is a list of all bonfire locations I was able to find in Alphabetic order after Zones, with coordinates and general areas for the few who don’t use coordinates.
I have found that bonfires are missing in Contested Territory Zones if the Alliance Flight Point and the Horde Flight Point are both at the same general location (close to each other) unless it is a goblin owned town.
I have also found that bonfires are missing for a faction in Contested Territory Zones if the current faction has no flight point in that zone.
There are no bonfires in Battleground Zones.
Honouring a bonfire from your own faction awards you 5 [Burning Blossom] and an amount of currency depending on your level. As level 80 I got 6 Gold Coins and 63 Silver Coins for each.
Desecrating a bonfire from your opposing faction awards you 10 [Burning Blossom] and an amount of currency depending on your level. As level 80 I got 13 Gold Coins and 23 Silver Coins for each.
You can not honour a bonfire in one of your own faction’s capitols.
You can not desecrate a bonfire in one of your opposing faction’s capitols, but you can get a [Flame of *Capitol Name*] which starts the quest [Stealing *City Name’s* Flame] which sends you back to one of your own faction’s Festival Talespinners for a reward of 25 [Burning Blossom] and a little something extra. You need to be level 50 or higher to start these quests.
