So far as iv seen this single achievement is worth the most of all of them so far. At 80 as well most of those dungions should be soloable (and even if their not, probally 2 manable and there will always be another achievement junky around), the walking/flying around to get the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor achievements are easy, The only real tough part is the cross faction elders, but even then a couple corpse run and your done.
So in short: probally easyest source of points on the achievement list, just time consuming.

Comment by mindphlux

It seems that this achievement currently awards the prefix title "Elder".

Comment by Kiwinz

Takes about 5 - 6 hours to visit every Elder.

Hopefully this is retroactive and I don't have to go back and visit them all again.

Unfortunately most people won't have actually done either of the firework tasks, so the title won't be around for most until the next Lunar Festivial

Comment by 153946

Anyone noticed that there is no either/or option with the Elders of Alliance/Elders of Horde Achievements? Currently this means that you'll be sneaking or charging into your opposing faction cities during the Lunar Festival. Otherwise the Elder Title is perhaps the easiest of all the World Event Titles take for example The Hallowed which requires you to obtain both the Sinister Squashling and the Pumpkin Helm. I think a lot expect that this is a mistake or that it will be changed but in my opinion this might be the trick to getting The Elder title.

The achievement lists a total of 75 elders.
Every elder gives 75 honor with every of your factions major cities:

Alliance players: Stormwind, Ironforge, Darnassus, Exodar & Gnomeregan Exiles
Horde players: Darkspear Trolls, Orgrimmar, Silvermoon City, Thunder Bluff & Undercity

Doing this achievement will therefore give you a total of:
5.625 reputation with every major city of your faction.

Comment by 250447

I have a question and i hope that some1 can answer it :]
Is there any addon that can show where the elders are? on the minimap for example or the big map?
Like gatherer is for ores and herbs , the same for npces without founding them first ofc.

Comment by 260241

wowwiki.com have walkthroughs for Alliance and Horde on their Elder page, though only for Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor. You will have to go at it without a guide for Northrend.

Alliance Walkthrough.
Horde Walkthrough.

Comment by redfenix

this will be a nice boost to rep as well, then

Comment by veno3

Yes, the calendar states it will start at 06:00. However it said the same about Winter Veil, and that started at 06:00 Russian time(1 hour ahead of server time). So its possible Lunar Festival will start at 05:00 EU Server time and 04:00 GMT if it is to follow the pattern of Wrath release and Winter Veil.

Comment by 254037

I was hoping it would been out today but I guess I have to wait till saturday :( I still have the pink dress from 2 years ago so now I can use the coins to get the other dresses :)

Just a question about Omen, will he be a 80 Elite or will he be 60 and soloable like he was 2 years ago?

Comment by barbeque

For those who are still grinding rep with your faction cities, it is also worth noting that completing each coin of ancestry quest also nets you 75 rep with all your faction cities. Completing the full 75 elders will net you some 5625 rep with each of your faction cities. Gives me a nice boost in my lazy route to Ambassador.

Comment by 203649

Unless Blizzard puts in something really hard out-of-the-blue, this will be a very easy Achivment to do, the only bad thing i can see is the time its going to take you to get to all the Elders...But who cares when theres a Violet Proto-Drake involved?

P.S - The Violet Proto-Drake is a 310% speed flying mount, making the total number of 310% speed flying mounts now to 5.

Comment by 198069

See https://www.wowhead.com/cata/blog=64239 for very good guide

Comment by 271800

does it srrsly require lvl 80? ):

Comment by Alzira

I thought i'd do this achi for the title and... wow. This is the only thing i have found to be more boring than lvling fishing. Noskill titles ftw

Comment by 30936

Elder quests are included into the total of quests you have done on your character.

Comment by 310612

We had a group for this quest online in Moonglade at 6am server. There were six in our group and we had two people, myself and another, with Grand Ice Mammoth. This way we were able to keep moving while people were setting waypoints and checking Wowhead for info.

Was a blast riding through azeroth like this, and yeah we probably turned a few heads in the horde cities. 9k health is a nice buffer =)

In total took us 11 hours to complete all achievements starting with omen, then north to south in Kalimdor, North to south in EK, then all northrend dungeons. Wish there was a server first because it had to be us =D

Comment by 224624

This is a good opportunity to work on your exploration achievements as well. When was the last time you had reason to hit a cross-faction starting area?

Comment by 288203

A quick theory/question.

Do these actually raise the amount of quests on the quests achievements? In total?

Edit: After carefully examining my quests, I can confirm that doing the Elder quests do raise your points in quest achievements.

Comment by 32973

Has anyone mentioned that the Elders' Quests give credit to Overall Quests Done?

It's a good way to add some quests done to the way you are grinding for "The Seeker" title.

Comment by 241136

All the elders I've seen are Tauren, Dwarf or Night Elf (correct me if I'm wrong). What strikes me as odd is that the Troll race is considered the eldest race on Azeroth. Elves are decendent from the trolls, even. So why are there no troll elders?
Also, why are all the elves Night Elves? If the elders are really ancient, the highborne elves (at the time of the sundering, and after that) should use the High/Blood Elf skin.

Dunno why this struck such a chord with me, but thought I'd just post it here...

Comment by 239742

This is intended to be a horde walkthrough of all the achievements regarding the lunar festival. Some of them are both easy and self explanatory so I will not say much about them and one specifically (Elders of the Dungeons) will be covered partially in other “Elders of the..” series.

I’d like to begin with dividing the achievements into 2 categories: easy and medium.
Easy ones are
50 Coins of Ancestry
This itself is not easy but it will be covered in the medium achievements. In fact it will be done as you complete others.

Lunar Festival Finery
This is the easiest part. Just buy one cloth from Valadar Starsong in Moonglade.

Frenzied Firecracker
Just buy 10 Festival Firecrackers and shoot them. Easiest way is to hotkey and spam.

The Rocket's Red Glare
See above.

Elders of the Horde
Not much to say

The rest is medium difficulty

Before you start:

Relax
Have some drink and snacks stacked because it is going to take some time.
Have a few potions, water and food before you start.
Remember to check your reagents you may need.
Check if you have long CDs (like Northrend Inscription Research or Smelt Titansteel) coming, have the mats ready and/or plan where you may stop for them.
If you have a profession slot empty, taking inscription and leveling it to 40 (Scroll of Recall) would help. It may send you to some stupid places but it may also help your progress. Also its worth trying before you HS because if it takes you where you want to go its fine, if not, well you’d use HS anyway.
Having some sorts of other transportation (Astral Recall, mage portals etc.) helps a lot.
Check if you have any go and turn in quests available around.
Remember to give it a break and leave the PC for small breaks.
Remember to feed the cat.
Mages can alter the course anyway they like depending on the portal they know. Bringing in a mage friend confers the same benefits.
A warlock can summon you to where they are by convincing 2 random passer-bys.
In case of dire need a friend in a horde capital, Shattrath or Dalaran can party with you and join a bg to get you out of a tight spot.

Elders of Azeroth

It’s a routing problem with different solutions. Mine is not the best but an attempt. Modify it as you see fit and inform me of your versions so we can alter the routes or add alternatives to make a good guide to The Lunar Festival. (the parenthesis are for Shamans and those with inscription)

Elders of Eastern Kingdoms

Set foot in Booty Bay and visit Elder Winterhoof he’s on the top of the building across the Flight Master. Fly to Grom’Gol Base Camp. (Set HS here)
Ride to the entrance of Zul’Gurub Elder Starglade is to the right when you enter the area. Run back to Grom’Gol (AR or scroll out)
Fly to Stonnard set HS here (Set HS as well)
Sunken Temple. HS out (AR or scroll out).
Run to the Blasted lands all the way to the Portal to find Elder Bellowrage. Run back (AR or HS) to Stonnard and fly back to Grom’Gol.
Run all the way to Sentinel hill. Elder Skychaser is on the top of the tower that houses Captain Gryan Stoutmantle and several Westfall Militia.
Stormwind
Run down the road to Goldshire. To touch Elder Stormbrow and HS out. (AR or scroll out)
Fly to Flamecrest FP and visit Elder Dawnstrider (set your HS here)
Run SE to Dreadmaul Rock and find Elder Rumblerock in cave at the top the mountain.
Run back to the Blackrock Mountain
Lower Blackrock Spire
Blackrock Depths
Leave the Blackrock Mountain via north exit (AR or scroll out and Fly to Thorium Point)
Elder Ironband is at the SW corner of Searing Gorge after that run to Thorium Point and fly to Kargath in Badlands. Set you HS here. (set HS as well)
Run to Loch Modan and visit Thelsamar to see Elder Silvervein by the graveyard overlooking town.
Run south from there and turn west when you see dwarven buildings to the tunnel system to reach Dun Morogh. Follow the road west to Kharanos. You’ll see Elder Goldwell North of the Kharanos inn.
Ironforge
HS out (AR or scroll out) and fly to Hinterlands. Run inland to find Elder Highpeak at the top of a hill. Return to Revantusk Village and fly to Light’s Hope Citadel.
Talk to Elder Snowcrown and move on
Stratholme
Run to the Crown Guard Tower to see Elder Windrun
Continue past the bridge to Western Plaguelands. You’ll see Elder Meadowrun to the right of the road just past the bridge.
From there cut South and swim to the isle of Scholomance. Elder Moonstrike is on the roof of the house there. HS out (AR or scroll out)
Fly to sepulcher to visit Elder Obsidian and fly to UC.
Undercity
Run out of the city to visit Elder Graveborn just at the entance to Brill
Voila. You have completed Elders of Eastern Kingdoms (Elders of the Alliance and Elders of the Horde as well, if you started in Kalimdor).

Comment by 239742

Elders of Kalimdor

Fly to Mulgore and set HS (Fly to Gadgetzan and set HS)
Fly to Silithus.
Elder Bladesing is just where you land.
Elder Primestone is in NW corner of Silithus.
Then fly to Un’Goro Crater. Elder Thunderhorn in Slithering Scar to the south, around the entrance of silithid cave
Run up from there to Tanaris. Elder Ragetotem is in the Valley of the Watchers, south Tanaris.
Run to Zul’farrak HS out and fly to Gadgetzan when finished (AR or scroll out).
Elder Dreamseer is needless to mention. You have a running session in the two steps following.
Elder Morningdew is in The Mirage Raceway in The Shimmering Flats
Elder Skyseer is in the Freewind post. After that fly to Camp Mojache (set HS)
Elder Grimtotem is exactly at the pinned spot in the map.
I couldn’t describe the location of Elder Mistwalker better so I’m quoting:

By rapidan: “okay, i was totally confused about the wording here, so hopefully this clears some of it up... yes, go up the ramp into Dire Maul, your coords will change. go past the mobs - right, left - then you're at a long hallway, and on your minimap you can see a smaller hall above it. go inside that and you will come out into the arena, and should have the ! on your minimap directly in front of you. you can run to the icon, and jump down to the Elder, or you can run down a ramp (rounded archway) to your left and enter the arena that way. good luck!"

(AR or scroll out)

Maraudon (fly to Shadowprey Village and run to Maraudon)
HS out (AR or scroll out fly to Mulgore, use HS if you have to)
To reach Elder Bloodhoof you have to run from Mulgore.
Then you run again to Elder High Mountain
Fly to Crossroads to Elder Moonwarden and fly on to Ratchet. (set HS to Ratchet)
After visiting Elder Windtotem run NE towards the river and cross it when you can to Razor Hill
Pay a visit to Elder Runetotem and run to Orgrimmar (AR or scroll out and fly)
Orgrimmar
Fly to Azshara and run to the Ravencrest Monuments to visit Elder Skygleam. He’s not down on the beach you pass 2 bridges to reach him. Follow the long collumn lying on the ground to find him behind the standing legs of the monument, then run back and fly to Everlook (or AR, Scroll, HS out and fly)
Elder Stonespire
Exit Everlook from west and cut south to Ruins of Kel’Theril to find Elder Brightspear
Fly from Everlook to Bloodvenom Post,
As you leave the post cut south before you even reach the main road you’ll find Elder Nightwind just a bit to the south. Return and fly to Emerald Sanctuary.
When you reach Astranaar cut north and approach Elder Riversong from the lake. You shouldn’t have any problems with low level guards. Then run on to Auberdine
Same applies to Elder Starweave, She’s out of town so no problem.
Teldrassil
Elder Bladeleaf is South of the road so leave the road before reaching Dolanaar and approach from outskirts of town.

There you are. You just completed Elders of Kalimdor (Elders of the Alliance and Elders of the Horde as well, if you started in Eastern Kingdoms).

Comment by 239742

Elders of Northrend
Not completed yet

Elders of the Alliance

Click the links to the city you’re going in. Familiarize yourself with the turns and curves if you’re not already (i.e. never played alliance before). Check busy spots like AH, bank, etc. If allied scum gives you too much trouble

Stormwind City
Target: Elder Hammershout
Location: The Park
Other things to do while there: The Stockade, The Guardians of Tirisfal,
The Fishing Diplomat
Approach from the sea. Swim or waterwalk from the NW corner of Westfall and turn in as soon as you see the dock. You’ll be able to land and walk up the stairs without aggroing any guards. Beware patrol escorting a Defias prisoner up the stairs. When up don’t retaliate any guards. Just run. They should stop following after some time. When you’re in the park pay your visit to Elder Hammershout and run towards trade district through mage quarter. Once past the bridge and tunnel draw a circle around, avoiding the square where folks run between Bank and AH. Run towards the griffon master and jump to the water without aggroing the flight master. You can blink, fear, stoneclaw totem or bubble your way through the gates and continue.

Ironforge
Target: Elder Bronzebeard
Location: Mystic Ward
Other things to do while there: Old Ironjaw,
Not much option: Run in, turn left as soon as you make it to The Commons. You should lose the guards on the road towards The Mystic Ward. HS out as soon as you talk to Elder Bronzebeard.

Darnassus
Target: Elder Bladeswift
Location: Cenarion Enclave
Other things to do while there: Explore Teldrassil

You have to run through the portal to get in. Once there you’ll be followed by guards but you can lose then running towards Cenarion Enclave. Visit Elder Bladeswift and run towards Craftsmen’s Terrace. Run out from the arches towards the interior Teldrassil towards Dolanaar. I strongly suggest you to explore Teldrassil completely. You may not find a chance later (not because it is hard but Teldrassil is so off the road that even allies rarely go there).

Elders of the Dungeons

Elder Wildmane in Zul'Farrak

A level 80 should not aggro any mobs but a few in tight corridors. Elder Wildmane is in the Gahrzilla’s pool area. Turn left as soon as you enter the pool area and you’ll see her.

Elder Splitrock in Maraudon

Elder Splitrock is here

Because Maraudon is a never-ending, annoying maze, I’ll quote:

By pilot13:
A few directions for those of us who haven't run this place in nigh on four years now.

When in desolace you need to head to the valley of the spears (north of the horde town, frikkin miles away from the alliance one). When you get there follow the cave until it splits into three paths. The one you want is the middle one with statues of horse men surrounding it. As of 3.0.8 you don't need the scepter so just hit up the portal, which is just as well because Mara is a maze.

You'll be chucked right into the centre of the instance. Take the south/southeast path and follow it as far as you can, constantly going up ramps and avoiding golems and snakes. If you've gotten to the boss 'Landslide' you've gone too far.

Eventually you'll end up in a giant cavern with water in the bottom and a giant platform running the length of it. If you haven't got the achievement for this place you might as well go to the round platform at the west end and smack the princess a few times.

Jump in the water

Swim east past the Hydra boss (Ripbore?) and you'll enter another cavern that looks like all the ones preceding it. Climb up ramps etc and he's there.

Elder Morndeep in Blackrock Depths

Elder Morndeep is easy to access. Once inside kill the first 2 dwarves at the door. Look at the 3rd tunnel counterclockwise. Its also the 3rd tunnel clockwise. If you time it right and observe the patterns of the patrol all you have to kill is the other 2 dwarves in the entrance to your tunnel. Once in the tunnel you’ll see the entrance to the Ring of Law on your left. Enter and talk to Elder Morndeep. I’m not sure if you can talk and run back before the ring of law event starts but the fight is a joke for a level 80. the doors open once the fight is over so return as you came in.

Elder Stonefort in Blackrock Spire

So easily and simply put I couldn’t resist quoting again:

By marc314cel: LBRS is part of BRS. Enter Blackrock Mountain, go up the chain, through the balcony and enter the instance.
Then go right, down into the Hall of Blackhand, then left into Hordemar city.
He is in Hordemar City in LBRS, after the first wooden bridge.

Elder Starsong in the Sunken Temple

Enter the instance. Make an immediate left turn. Climb up the spiral stairs. You’ll see some trash mobs, kill them. When you make it to the clearing turn left. Hug the wall and you’ll see Elder Starsong.

Elder Farwhisper in Stratholme
This depends whether you have the Key to the City which opens a service entrance to the undead part or not.

With the key:
Elder Farwhisper is not in the undead part but its easier if you have the key. Enter through the service gate. Avoid the boss and the mobs and enter the living side. Make an immediate right turn and hug the right wall. Turn left and you’ll find Elder Farwhisper on the corner.
Without the key:
I’m not sure if you can avoid the mobs here but enter and make a right turn. When you’re under the archway both portcullises will close and trap you with lots of rats. Rats should be aoed, killing them singlehandedly might cause trouble and they are immune to hunter traps. Past the gate you’ll see the great gate to the undead part of the dungeon so follow above instructions to continue.
Here’s a map to Stratholme and Elder Farwhisper is just before “The Unforgiven”

Elune's Blessing
All I know so far is that you can get the credit even if you arrive after it is dead. That’s what happened to me.

Comment by 310612

This is a really easy title to earn, all it is is a time sink. It took me about 6 hours or so to get all the Elders, including the dungeon ones. So get something to entertain yourself with because trust me, you will get REALLY bored

Comment by 312420

Got this title yesterday and like most achievements in the game the thrill of this achievement lasts until you log off or you start seeing every other player with the title. The real beauty of this one I found was rediscovery of old zones that it led to. I would recommend getting the Explorer title (https://www.wowhead.com/cata/achievement=46) at the same time if you don't already have it since you will be exploring many of the same remote and hostile regions (exluding Outland).

Comment by 149332

In case all the reasons here aren't good enough to convince you to do this, the Elder visits will award you a quest towards your Quests Completed ("Seeker") achievements each. Elder visits will not, however, award you a quest towards Loremaster achievements.

Comment by 253542

Dear Blizz,
Thank you for punishing me for choosing not to level as quickly as others and not being able to get this title until next year.

Also, thank you for removing requirements from other achievements and attunements that I busted my butt to complete. I can see the time and effort I spend to do more in the game was well rewarded. No time wasted here. Guess I'll have to wait until next year when I get around to hitting 80 or some random tuesday when you all decided its no longer required.

That is if this lack luster evolution can maintain my interest in the game, thats right it doesn't make me think it will be easier for my alt or easier for me, or even make me want to put in more effort - its sends me packing.

Oh and thanks for making the only important and valued goal to get to 80. Elune forbid people be interest in doing something else other than rushing to get to 80. And actually taking their time enjoying the content leading up to it.

Very disappointing

Comment by 195915

Anyone seen someone with this title called berry yet....

Comment by Nieker

As my post states, we had the perfect group setup and excellent pathing. We had a mage for ports. We had navigators alt-tabbed as passengers on our mounts feeding us info. We took no breaks, and it took 11 1/2 hours to the last dungeon. I can't imagine, no. You sir, are a liar.

soz to say but i got it within 7 hours, if you look up Nieker/Aerie Peak EU you will see i got the meta on the day the event was released.
yes sir he was right!

Using tomtom with these macros will make finding them a lot easier. It will mark each location on your map. Because of the 255 character limit for macros these commands had to be broken down into multiple buttons. You can download Tomtom from here TomTom@WoWinterface:

Comment by Jeremymia

Three mods: Tour Guide, Tour Guide: Lunar Festival, Tom Tom.

Arrows pointing to each elder, one by one, in old azeroth. It's quite well done.

I also recommend doing this with at least one other friend (for sanity's sake), but that's not necessary. It might really help if at least one person is a tank or healer.

Also, while you're doing the old azeroth ones, start queueing up for all specific WotLK dungeons, in standard and (optionally) heroic. Even doing nexus on your own is somewhat difficult unless you're tanky. For me and my friend, we had every dungeon except for nexus done by the time we were out of old azeroth and doing the northrend elders.

It took about 6 hours, but it could have been faster. We wiped about 5 times.

Good luck, elder hunters. (Any word on whether you can do the elder in non-heroic Gundrak? We happened to be in heroic for that one.)

Comment by Rexworth

A heads up for anyone out there that wants this achievement but is a packrat who uses his mailbox as his bank like me. Each elder you visit will send you mail, which if you get all 75 elders thats 75 messages which will fill up your inbox so you will have to delete their messages if you want to get to some of your other stuff.

Comment by dreq

This achievement also gives you A LOT of reputation with alliance/horde, 75 per coin u get. If u havent farmed for the Ambassador of the Alliance or whatever its called, this is a godly nice start. Will finish this and then finish that achievement.

Comment by 148144

If you haven't done World Explorer achievement, i would higly recomend you to do it at the same time with this,
you will have to run around allmost everywhere anyway, so by doing them at the same time you will kill two birds with one stone :)

Comment by 353888

If you are trying to do this acheivement quickly, I'd reccomend listening to music or something, because even as a level 80 mage, it's taking a while! = ) Good Luck!

Comment by 538019

okay so I planned to finish EK and dungeon elders today, march 7.. the last day. Unfortunately... its ended at 6 AM this morning... why the hell would they end it at 6am? isn't the usual 3am? or the sensible 11:59pm?
This has me really angry at blizz as I only had a few more to go before i got the title.

Comment by 546119

Its handy to get this achtievment Together with Explorer, just for people that want more titles/achtievments and got no explorer, only takes 5-10 mins more a place

Comment by 674379

Thats why you never procrastinate.... why risk waiting a year on random times? (same happened to me with the brewfest runs).

Comment by 663367

If your not 85 do you get xp along with rep? or just rep?

Comment by 715938

Easily solo-able as an 85 Rogue.

Everything can be done under a day as well.

Comment by 860013

flying in azeroth will help, as will 310% riding - just find a decent set up for the wrath dungeons such as utgarde pinnacle (and possibly also for omen, if you find it hard)

Comment by ScottCom

Soloed this whole series with a L85 SPriest. I also got a few of the instance achievements that I hadn't picked up earlier ;p

Comment by glassleo

For those of you wondering, the minimum level requirement for this meta-achievement as of Cataclysm is level 75. This is because of the elder inside Utgarde Pinnacle, which in turn requires you to be level 75 to enter the dungeon.

All achievements apart from Elders of the Dungeons can technically be completed at level 40 and above (you need to be 40 or above to recieve the quest to kill Omen).

If you're wondering how the heck you get into Deepholm before level 82, it's quite simple as you can be summoned there by either a warlock or someone with the Have Group, Will Travel guild perk.

Comment by 117271

The *LOWEST* possible level to get this achievement/title is 75.

Have a warlock + 2 friends summon you for Deepholm elders.
You can fly to Vash'jir via flying mount from Dun Morogh.
You can fly to the other Cataclysm elders easily with a flying mount.
The highest dungeon requirement is Utgarde Pinnacle/Halls of Stone at 75. Have a friend run you through. as you can't use the LFG for UP at 75.
Blizzard removed the heroic requirements on all elders.
You can get every Kalimdor/Eastern Kingdom/Northrend elder as 75 (or lower).
Make a raid group for Omen. (Or find him dead and just run on top of the light). You don't have to be 85 for this.

Comment by husobaba1903

This is an impossible achievement for lazy arse guys like me.

Comment by 123461

Ok new to TomTom and I cannot get the macros to work...only the first one in each batch will add ie

/way Durotar 53.1 43.5 Elder Runetotem
/way The Barrens 51.4 30.6 Elder Moonwarden
/way The Barrens 62.6 36.7 Elder Windtotem
/way Teldrassil 57.2 60.7 Elder Bladeleaf
/way Darkshore 36.7 46.6 Elder Starweave
/way Mulgore 48.3 53.4 Elder Bloodhoof

Only adds the Durotar waypoint and nothing else. Is there some other verbage I need to add to the list to get it to work?

Comment by Hooie

I can confirm that you can complete this achievement after the holiday is over (if Elune's Blessing is the only thing you have left to do) .

I rushed on the last evening to complete this. I spawned Omen at 2:59am and after 3 deaths, managed to solo him on my hunter with my trusty pet, Terrorpene. I stood in the beam and got Elune's Blessing and To Honor One's Elders at 3:14am (14 minutes after the holiday ended).
