During the Lunar Festival, there will be 75 Lunar Festival Elders spread around the world. Some are located in towns, some in instances, and some in the wild. Each gives you a [Coin of Ancestry]. Each Elder may tell you the location up to 5 other Elders in nearby zones. You can only receive one coin per Elder. The quests for receiving coins are reset from year to year (previously, some characters were affected by a bug that made seasonal quests unrepeatable in 2007. This issue has been corrected: the quests were reset in 2008 and were all "re-doable", and they were reset in 2009 to 2011).
Coins of Ancestry can be turned in for several tailoring and engineering patterns, as well as other items. Each coin you receive also generates 75 faction reputation with either the Horde or Alliance, for a total of 5625 for most races and 6187 for humans if all 75 Coins of Ancestry are gathered. Furthermore, each Elder you visit will send you a [Lucky Red Envelope] via in-game mail which contains a [Lucky Rocket Cluster] or an [Elder's Moonstone]. Using the Lucky Rocket Cluster gives you the [Lunar Fortune] buff (+250 health).
Through the Achievement system, players are rewarded for participating in the Lunar Festival. A total of 160 achievement points are available from completing the 14 achievements. Upon completing all of the Lunar Festival achievements, you will complete the world event achievement To Honor One's Elders which gives the <Elder> title. This should be achievable by any Level 70+ player capable of completing the first part of the Northrend dungeons.

Notes
- To reach the elder in Frosthold without a flying mount or [Cold Weather Flying], a player of level 77 or higher can visit "Honest" Max in K3 to get a [Loaned Gryphon] or [Loaned Wind Rider] which can be used in Storm Peaks, Sholazar Basin, and Icecrown.
- Elder Ohanzee has been moved so that he can be reached in Normal Gundrak to complete Elders of the Dungeons.
