Stop the Fires! (ID 11219)

Guide to "Let the Fires Come!" and "Stop the Fires!"

- If the event has not started you will get "Let the Fires Come!". If the event is going you will get "Stop the Fires!". If you already have "Stop the Fires!" in your log and the event is not going you can drop that quest and it will offer "Let the Fires Come!". The event starts once someone accepts "Let the Fires Come!". As long as the pumpkin is gone you can do this event!

- As mentioned before, all the fires need to be completely put out. There can be as many as 3 buildings affected, from my experience.

- Fires spread! Focus on one building at a time.

- Form a brigade! You can pass buckets to each other down the line. You can set up your distance before the event starts. You can't hold more that one bucket, so if you are staging make sure you toss your bucket if you are last in line.

- You can get credit on all your alts with one dousing of the fire!
1. Store all your alts in the inn.
2. Log in each one and accept the quest to put out the fires, then log out with it incomplete.
3. Help put out the fires with the last character.
4. Turn in the "put out the fire" and the "smash the pumpkin" quest for each. The pumpkin should last long enough for each character to get it, provided your computer/Internet are fast enough for the logon process. Note, you will get credit for putting out the fire as you approach the quest giver.

The easiest place for the Horde to accomplish this solo is at the blood elf town in Eversong Woods.

Unlike the other towns, only two fires spawn here, and one of them is within dousing distance of the water bucket.

I suggest quenching the second building first (the building that is further away). Even though the fire on the inn will expand rapidly, its location to the bucket will allow you to easy extinguish the flames with in the quest time.

Guide to "Let the Fires Come!" and "Stop the Fires!"

First off let me explain how doing this on multiple characters works. There are so many people that have no idea how to do this on alts, and how to not mess it up for people with alts that its frustrating for them to do it.

So how this event works, is there is a quest "Let the Fires Come!" that starts the event, once the event starts, it changes to "Stop the Fires!". The quest you want on your alts, is "Stop the Fires!", now here is why. Pick up the quest "Stop the Fires!" on everyone of your alts. Go back to your first character, and wait for the event to end, either with killing the Shade, or failing. Now pick up "Let the Fires Come!" This starts the event. Complete the event, and turn in. Login to your next alt, run out of the brill inn, and "Stop the Fires!" quest will complete, use the head to get the other quest from that, turn them both in. Run back to inn, login to your next character, rinse and repeat, until the event is over. IF YOU HAVE THE QUEST "Let the Fires Come" it WILL NOT COMPLETE ON YOUR ALTS!

THE PROBLEM WITH NOT KNOWING THIS!
So say you log onto an alt, and the pumpkin head is there, but the "Stop the Fires!" quest isn't completing... Strange right? Well its not, essentially what happened was someone went and started the event, which means the "event clearing" is gone, so that quest can no longer be handed in, until its done again. So please, for everyone's sanity, IF THE PUMPKIN HEAD IS ON THE GROUND, DO NOT PICKUP THE QUEST "Let the Fires Come!", it will clear the completion of the event, and essentially mess it up for people doing it on multiple characters.

SIDE NOTE!
If you don't see any fires left, and it hasn't completed, there is a little tent with supplies under it, with a jack o' lantern ontop of the tent. Under that Lantern is a fire that typically no one saw to put out. Also, Work on the same building, right to left, it'll actually complete if you do because the fires spread so quickly now.
