Fly High With the New Lunar Launcher Mount in World of Warcraft’s Lunar Festival

by

Summary

  • World of Warcraft players can get the Lunar Launcher mount during the Lunar Festival, which runs until February 11.
  • Players can buy this mount for 75 Coins of Ancestry from any Lunar Festival Vendor.
  • Content from previous Lunar Festivals can also currently be obtained.

In 2025, during the Lunar Festival, players of World of Warcraft will have the chance to obtain the Lunar Launcher, a cheerful flying rocket mount as an in-game reward. By gathering 75 Coins of Ancestry from the elder figures scattered throughout the World of Warcraft universe, including the eight newly added ones in Khaz Algar, participants can acquire this mount for their collection before the event concludes on February 11.

The Lunar Festival serves as the virtual equivalent of the Lunar New Year in the universe of World of Warcraft. During this in-game celebration, players let off a barrage of fireworks, engage with a unique world boss found in Moonglade, and traverse Azeroth to find Elders from whom they can collect Coins of Ancestry – a special currency for the event that can be traded for exclusive rewards.

Once again, the Lunar Festival has made its appearance within the realm of World of Warcraft, gracing us with a breathtaking new mount. The mount is called the Lunar Launcher and resembles a Skyriding Goblin rocket adorned in gleaming armor, creating an impression of a fiery eastern dragon soaring through the skies. Players can acquire this mount by spending 75 Coins of Ancestry at any vendor participating in the Lunar Festival, which can be found within the event grounds of most racial capitals, the Vale of Eternal Blossoms in Pandaria, or the Moonglade.

New Additions to 2025 World of Warcraft Lunar Festival

  • The Lunar Launcher
    • New flying rocket mount
    • Available at the Lunar Festival Vendors for 75 Coins of Ancestry
  • Eight new Elders on Khaz Algar
    • Visit all eight to get the Elders of Khaz Algar achievement
      • Archivist Coppermoss and Archivist Rubbleglint on Isle of Dorn
      • Archivist Farolt and Archivist Silsigra in the Ringing Deeps
      • Elder Knythall and Elder Swornvow in Hallowfall
      • Elder Ik’zivan and Elder Ikk’xataz in Azj-Kahet.

In Azeroth, you can gather Ancestral Coins by approaching Elders, who are typically found near settlements and close to dungeons. For gamers, there are eight new Elders located on Khaz Algar, with two in each of the four zones. By visiting these Elders, you can earn the achievement titled “Elders of Khaz Algar.” There are over a hundred Elders that a single character can interact with, and since Skyriding is now available in most old World of Warcraft zones, accumulating enough Ancestral Coins for the Lunar Launcher has become more convenient compared to earlier times.

Absolutely, content from past Lunar Festivals remains accessible too. During this celebration, players can aim for more than a dozen additional achievements and amass numerous Lunar New Year-themed items. Among these are the Dragon Costume toys (there are three of them), the Lunar and Festive Lantern pets, as well as permanent flower crowns, festival dresses, and the Lunar Festival Armor customization for the Winding Slitherdrake which was added to the WoW event in 2024.

During the Lunar Festival, which spans until February 11, both modern and Classic World of Warcraft players can participate. Interestingly, various Lunar New Year-themed cosmetics from World of Warcraft have been discovered in the databases and are anticipated to appear on the Trading Post. However, Blizzard has not released the Trading Post catalog for February at this time. It’s expected that when the monthly inventory updates, many, if not all, of these missing transmogs will be included.
