'''Venomous Skitterers''' are level 85 [[beetle]]s found in [[Halls of Origination]].
During the '''Harvest Festival''' of [[Azeroth (world)|Azeroth]], the [[Horde]] and the [[Alliance]] give thanks to heroes for the sacrifices - in some cases ultimate sacrifices - they have given on our behalf. In the time of the Harvest Festival, a great buffet is built up outside of [[Ironforge]] and [[Orgrimmar]].

{{Patch 4.0.3a|note=Added.}}
:''Throughout history, many have given their lives to aid their allies. Every year, members of the Horde and the Alliance set aside time to honor the memories of the fallen and to pay tribute to those whose memories are held most dear: Uther Lightbringer, for the Alliance, and Grom Hellscream, for the Horde. Heroes take time from their adventures to visit the graves of these two great leaders and to leave a tribute to them at the memorial. To show their respect, members of the Alliance light a candle at the Tomb of Uther Lightbringer in the Western Plaguelands. Members of the Horde show their respect to Grom Hellscream by leaving a bottle of spirits at the base of the Hellscream Memorial in Demon Fall Canyon in Ashenvale.''

The following items can be picked up from the table:
 
  +
[[Category:Halls of Origination mobs]]
:* {{item|icon=|Harvest Boar}}
 
:* {{item|icon=|Harvest Fish}}
 
:* {{item|icon=|Harvest Fruit}}
 
:* {{item|icon=|Harvest Nectar}}
 
 
These foods can be fed by hunters to their pets, providing an easy and free way to maintain the pet's happiness.
 
 
Currently, there are no Achievements for the holiday to be unlocked (but eating & drinking the items above counts towards {{Achievement|Tastes Like Chicken}} & {{Achievement|It's Happy Hour Somewhere}}).
 
 
== Quests ==
 
[[Image:harvest fest.jpg|thumb|Honoring Uther at his grave]]
 
*{{questlong|alliance|30|Honoring a Hero (Alliance)|Honoring a Hero}} from [[Wagner Hammerstrike]] at the [[Gates of Ironforge]]. The [[Alliance]] acknowledges many heroes, but none weave a more tragic tale than that of [[Uther Lightbringer]]. People can help to honor Uther by taking an offering to his tomb in the [[Western Plaguelands]].
 
Rewards: {{loot|common|For the Light!}}
 
 
*{{questlong|horde|30|Honoring a Hero (Horde)|Honoring a Hero}} from [[Javnir Nashak]] outside Orgrimmar. The [[Horde]] acknowledges also many heroes, but none exemplify strength and sacrifice more than [[Grom Hellscream]]. People can honor Grom by taking an offering to his monument in the [[Demon Fall Canyon]] of [[Ashenvale]].
 
Rewards: {{loot|common|The Horde's Hellscream}}
 
 
Additionally, 2 days later after completing either quest, the player gets {{loot|common|Bounty of the Harvest}} in the mail. It is an item with a 12 hour cooldown which produces 4 food from the harvest.
 
 
== Notes ==
 
It is likely that, similar to [[Lunar Festival]], Harvest Festival is an in-game event corresponding to harvest festivals in East Asia, such as the Chinese [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid-Autumn_Festival Mid-Autumn Festival] and the Korean [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuseok Chuseok] as the dates generally coincide
 
:2006: October 6
 
:2007: September 25
 
:2008: September 14
 
:2009: September 27
 
:2010: September 16
 
:Blizzard probably designed the event according to the Korean Chuseok.
 
 
In 2007, these quests were not available to [[Blood Elves]] or [[Draenei]]
 
 
Coincides with the anniversary of [[Stress Test Beta Has Ended]]. The final day is Columbus Day in the United States and Thanksgiving Day in Canada (October 8th in 2007).
