About the Celebration
An example of a MOB that will drop the event currency. Pictured in the Commonlands here and one of many styles of flame-themed enemies.
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
An example of a Fireworks Launcher of the Festive Fireworks quest. These can be various colors.
Because this has some event has 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: Darklight Wood.
- 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 )

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.
