Honor the flame is one of the Midsummer Fire Festival seasonal quests.
At your faction's bonfires, you may talk to the Flame Warden near the bonfire to Honor the Flame of that bonfire.
Notes
* The XP award for this quest increases with level, at least up to level 60.
* Note that the reward, at level 52 is about 2.7% of a level's worth. Given that there are about 60 bonfires, Alliance and Horde, one can easily gain a level simply making the circuit of Honoring and Desecrating bonfires.To relight a bonfire
* You must have a Burning Blossom in inventory.
* Stand in front of the festival fire and right-click on the blossom to throw it in
* A lit bonfire will grant everyone in the zone Bonfire's Blessing.
* Throwing a blossom into the bonfire (lit or unlit) will give the person throwing it the Fire Festival Fury buff (lasts 1 hour).Experience points / money-rewards
