Guide The Festival of The Bonfire 2023 Guide

As soon as I stop playing Wynn, of course another festival drops... I'm starting to get burned out with doing these long threads, so I'll post a poll above this post to see if people are interested in what's new or if you guys want me to write down every single thing.


Bonfire Keeper

Spoiler: Dialogue

Spoiler: First Encounter

[1/6] Bonfire Keeper: Hail, traveler! It has been quite some time since we last saw each other, has it not?
[2/6] Bonfire Keeper: Another year has passed... and the fires still burn on in this province's heart, despite its endless struggle.
[3/6] Bonfire Keeper: And that's something to celebrate, wouldn't you agree? A festival for those who live on! And a festival to remember those lost.
[4/6] Bonfire Keeper: ...Ah, but I'm rambling. It truly is good to see you again, friend. If you'd like someone to celebrate with, you know where to find me.
[5/6] Bonfire Keeper: As it so happens, there is something I could use your help with... But, I will not force your hand. Speak to me again if you wish to know more.
[6/6] Bonfire Keeper: I'll keep this Bonfire burning for as long as it needs to. That's my role to play in this story of ours, traveler. I trust you will be able to find your own.

Spoiler: Dialogue

[1/1] Bonfire Keeper: Ah, hello again! How can I help you, friend?

Spoiler: [1] What is there to do around here?

[1/5] Bonfire Keeper: Hm... What to do, what to do indeed... You're always welcome to speak to the other visitors in town. Some may be quite... familiar, yes
[2/5] Bonfire Keeper: Ah, but there is, of course, a task at hand. The hearthflame is weak, here. It must spread across the land for it to thrive.
[3/5] Bonfire Keeper: There's a reward in it for you, if you choose to help. Tell me when you'd like to work towards this goal.
[4/5] Bonfire Keeper: Otherwise... Yes, there is one more adventure you could pursue. The Event Airship Pilot- he has somewhere he could take you, at my request.
[5/5] Bonfire Keeper: Bring some more friends- or enemies- and travel to the Sunset Valley. If you meet me there, I could tell you more of the game we could play.

Spoiler: [2] You mentioned you needed help. (First dialogue to begin the Hearthflame Hunt)

[1/8] Bonfire Keeper: I suppose I did say that, yes. It is... a task I would have liked to perform myself, but the threads of our tale have forced my hand.
[2/8] Bonfire Keeper: This festival... it is one of remembrance. The bonfires must be lit across the cities of the land for the lost to reach my brother's power.
[3/8] Bonfire Keeper: And, so, it would be your task to hold the hearthflames, and bring them to their rightful homes.
[4/8] Bonfire Keeper: I will grant you an artifact to carry their protection... and to seek their rightful place in this world.
[+1 Hearthkeeper's Staff]

Spoiler: Item Stats

[5/8] Bonfire Keeper: However- there is a catch. The magic of transportation, that which is used by Teleport Scrolls - It cannot handle the hearthflame's light.
[6/8] Bonfire Keeper: While you are carrying a Hearthflame, you will not be able to use Teleportation Scrolls. Any other means of transport will still be available.
[7/8] Bonfire Keeper: You will be rewarded, of course, for what other incentive would suffice? Other magical items may become available, should you light enough of the bonfires.
[8/8] Bonfire Keeper: When you would like to begin, speak to me once more.

Spoiler: [2] I'm ready to take a hearthflame. (Continuing dialogue to begin the Hearthflame Hunt)

[1/4] Bonfire Keeper: You are? You are. Very well. Let us begin.
[2/4] Bonfire Keeper: ...It is done. You now hold a hearthflame. Use the staff to find its resting place. Remember, you cannot use Teleportation Scrolls.
[3/4] Bonfire Keeper: The bonfires you seek will only be located in cities and towns, as to better serve their purpose.
[4/4] Bonfire Keeper: Should you need guidance, return and speak to me once more. Good luck.

Spoiler: [2] What is this Hearthflame again? (Additional dialogue for help with the Hearthflame Hunt

[1/4] Bonfire Keeper: Oh- of course. You now hold a hearthflame. It must be brought to its resting place, somewhere in this land.
[2/4] Bonfire Keeper: The bonfires will only ever be within cities or towns, for that is where they must be to serve their purpose.
[3/4] Bonfire Keeper: Use the Hearthkeeper's Staff to guide the way. You will be unable to use Teleportation Scrolls, so you may need to find alternative paths.
[4/4] Bonfire Keeper: Once you place the Hearthflame and light the bonfire, return to me. I will offer further guidance then.

Spoiler: [2] I've lit the first Bonfire. (Dialogue after completing the tutorial of the Hearthflame Hunt)

[1/5] Bonfire Keeper: You have! This is a good first step. One bonfire closer to our goal.
[2/5] Bonfire Keeper: ...Alright, you understand the basics, then. You'll be able to pick up more than one hearthflame at once, if you'd like.
[3/5] Bonfire Keeper: One new flame will be created every day, and with it, another bonfire to be lit. Light thyem all, and I will reward you.
[4/5] Bonfire Keeper: For now- a gift. An Emblem to mark the occasion. The Start of this tale of ours.
[+1 Emblem of the Bonfire]

Spoiler: Item Identification

[5/5] Bonfire Keeper: Each Bonfire Lit will reward you a sum of emeralds, and every 7 will reward you a magical trinket. Happy Hunting, friend!

...So that was a fucking lie. I spoke to him after 14 lit bonfires and still no special trinkets.

Spoiler: [2] Let's talk about the Hearthflame Hunt. (Continuation of the Hearthflame Hunt)

[1/1] Bonfire Keeper: Alright, we can do that. What would you like to speak about?

Spoiler: [1] I need a Hearthflame.

Spoiler: If there are bonfires left to light up...

[1/1] Bonfire Keeper: Very well. Would you like a single hearthflame, or would you like as many as you can carry?

Spoiler: [1] Just one.

Spoiler: If a Hearthflame is available...

[1/1] Bonfire Keeper: ...It is done. Bring it to its proper resting place.

Spoiler: If a Hearthflame is not available...

[1/1] Bonfire Keeper: ...There are no more hearthflames waiting here. Another will form in xx hours.

Spoiler: [2] I'll take as many as I can. (If you have more than one unlit bonfire)

[1/1] Bonfire Keeper: ...It is done, bring them to their proper resting places.

Spoiler: [3] Nevermind, I don't need a flame.

[1/1] Bonfire Keeper: ...Alright. You know where to go when you're ready.

Spoiler: If all the Bonfires are lit...

[1/1] Bonfire Keeper: ...There are no more bonfires waiting to be lit, and no hearthflames waiting to be carried. You have done it all.

Spoiler: [2] Can you tell me what I need to do?

[1/4] Bonfire Keeper: Oh- of course. You must take the hearthflames from this bonfire, and return them to their resting places, somewhere in this land.
[2/4] Bonfire Keeper: The bonfires will only ever be within cities or towns, for that is where they must be to serve their purpose.
[3/4] Bonfire Keeper: Use the Hearthkeeper's Staff to guide the way. You will be unable to use Teleportation Scrolls, so you may need to find alternative paths.
[4/4] Bonfire Keeper: Place the hearthflames and light the bonfires. You will be rewarded.

Spoiler: [3] I've lit the bonfires. Can I have my rewards?

[1/2] Bonfire Keeper: Rewards... right. You've lit x bonfires since you last asked.
[2/2] Bonfire Keeper: As thanks for your work, I offer you this sum of emeralds.

For each bonfire lit, you get 9 Emerald Blocks. Not bad, I guess. Similar rewards to the Specter Hunt from last year's Bonfire Festival too.

Spoiler: [4] Why do these bonfires need to be lit?

[1/6] Bonfire Keeper: ...In a sense, it's a way for me to offer aid to my brother- The Envoy.
[2/6] Bonfire Keeper: They have been experiencing some... complications with their work. I feel a little bad about it, seeing as it's... partly my fault.
[3/6] Bonfire Keeper: ...You'll see for yourself when their season comes around. It doesn't feel right talking about someone behind their back.
[4/6] Bonfire Keeper: Either way, the bonfires are an attempt to make their job easier. They'll hopefully gather a majority of the loose roaming spirits...
[5/6] Bonfire Keeper: ...and, at the same time, offer protection for the living under their magic. It won't be much, but... it's something.
[6/6] Bonfire Keeper: I have been... trying my best, recently. To make up for, ah- past mistakes, I suppose.

So HE's the reason why we didn't get the Spirits of the Festival this year. Okay, I'll take your offer on a grand Festival of The Spirits next year...

Spoiler: [5] Nevermind, I don't need anything.

[1/1] Bonfire Keeper: Very well, you know where to find me if you need any information.

Spoiler: [3] Why isn't your brother here this year?

[1/3] Bonfire Keeper: Ah, well... The timing didn't work out this time around. They have their season, and I have mine.
[2/3] Bonfire Keeper: I didn't think our brands of magic worked well enough together... but, well, that's life, I suppose.
[3/3] Bonfire Keeper: Things don't always work out in the end. Sometimes, they do... But not always.

Geez, The Festival of the Spirits really is getting the short end of the stick in this game...

Spoiler: [4] I found something interesting.

[1/2] Bonfire Keeper: Oh? Well, if you think it's interesting, I'm sure it's interesting too.
[2/2] Bonfire Keeper: What did you find?

Spoiler: [1] Nevermind, I didn't find anything.

[1/1] Bonfire Keeper: Ah, no worries. It's still always nice to have a conversation with a friend.

Spoiler: [5] Just wanted to chat.

[1/1] Bonfire Keeper: Well, it's always nice to talk to someone. Sit by the bonfire as long as you'd like, friend. You're always welcome here.

NPC Dialogue



Hearthflame Hunt

Instead of the Spectre Hunt from last year, it has been replaced with the Bonfire Festival's own version of it, the Hearthflame Hunt.

It is essentially the same thing like guiding lost souls during the Festival of The Spirits back in 2021, EXCEPT you cannot use Teleportation Scrolls while carrying the Hearthflame.

Bonfire #11: Olux @ -1807, 53, -5450

 

How do you get the reward after the 7th bonfire? I didn't get anything

 

I didn't get anything special either, just emeralds.

Well, he did say it was sort of a last minute deal, so no exclusive bonfire items, I guess?

 

wynncraft events are really bad ngl. game would be so much better with more and better events

 

Bonfire #21: Ahmsord

 

Kind of disappointing that there's no special reward for lighting every bonfire...

 

I've expected there would at least be some special dialogue for those who asked him to attend festival of heroes.
