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).

Level 22: 875 xp, 7 silvers

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
