The Quest - Combusting at the Seams - has been made to scale to level. The quest is obtained from Chandrima near the Highland Outpost griffon tower in the Butcherblock Mountains. This quest also unlocks the portal to Doomfire: Ro's Sweatshop, which can be found next to the wizard spires in the Moors of Ykesha. Completion of the quest will grant you an adventuring cloak, and your choice of either 4 Coin of Ember or a Replica of Ayonae's Cithara house item. Ability to hire Jacinder (mended scorched doll) from Butcherblock Mountains is reportedly unlocked on quest completion as well, but unverified at this time. The quest will also grant Silver Jubilation Medals, as will the instances "daily" (18-hour) mission. You will need 5 coruscating filament to complete the quest (only valid for lvl 130, the exact tier of filament scales with your char level), so plan accordingly if you don't have an item to summon a fuel vendor.
About the Celebration[]
This event is a little irregular in the way quests are started, so this section provides very basic details. Please see the actual Quests and Collections sections for more details.
Important Event-Related Clarifications[]
Because this event has some quirks (as of 2019), players should note the following:
- The Festive Fireworks quests replaces all of the quests that were once titled Summer Fireworks (e.g. Gorowyn Summer Fireworks). Instead of buying a sparkler from the Marketplace (as it was in the past), the event NPCs now sell the sparkler.
- Due to a quirk with both regular progression and TLE servers having this event in the past, two types of NPCs sell items, including the Festive Sparkler needed to initiate this quest.
- Buy the sparkler for 10 copper from either A Sparkler Merchant in an major player city or any Ember Merchant celebrating in several locations.
- Ember Merchants are conveniently located near the MOBs that can be killed to earn Coin of Ember and they will sell all available items
- A Sparkler Merchant can be found in the cities and sell limited items (designed match the limits of the TLE servers)
Event Locations[]
The following locations have both the merchant and some flame-themed enemies for you to battle and defeat. Only one location (as of 2019) has an NPC that offers an additional quest in Darklight Wood: Limora Roamhill.
- Darklight Wood near Smoldering Lake and Sableflame Crater ( 34, -48, -8 )
In addition to the suggested location above, players might seek or encounter celebrations at the following locations.
- Antonica near Windstalker Village ( -1891, -38, -550 )
- Butcherblock Mountains ( 290, 189, 441 )
- The Commonlands at Dog Trapper Lake, on top of the giant rock. A tiny ramp at ( 14, -44, -733 ) provides access. Those with flying mounts can go right to ( 11, -13, -750 )

Announcement/Lore[]
The following announcement summarized the event as such:
- The Scorched Sky Celebration has begun, and worshipers of Fennin Ro and his son, Solusek Ro, can be found celebrating their gods across all of Norrath! During this special celebration, the devotees of Flame are offering a chance for all to rejoice in the primal power of Fire and Flame, with no grudge towards those who have embraced other deities. They believe that within the flames all mettle is tempered, both literally and figuratively. That which is weak, distracting, and fleeting will be burned away in battles against fire elementals, leaving only the strong, pure, and resilient.
