Worth noting that you do not have to click the torch to catch it, merely be standing where its about to land.

edited to note that it becomes much easier if you just follow the shadow on the ground.

Follow up is the daily More Torch Catching

Kommentar von 104322

Since i usally always have lag, i stand like 1-2 metres infront of it to catch it, works for me.

Kommentar von 118155

Just watch the shadow on the ground and try to keep up with it , works perfectly.

EDIT: a typing mistake

Kommentar von Caylie

This quest might look hard in the start. In fact it isn't.
The best tactic is zoom your camera all down and get an eagle view.
Go to the Bonfire. (Big fire) And click the torch. Now run after the shadow.
Be a little in front of it. When it's almost down, place yourself so it will hit you.
When you get the first torch, it will not be thrown as long up the air.
Have fun!

/console cameraDistanceMax 50

Helps alot, especially when the area is a bit too crowded to follow shadows.

Kommentar von 165043

follow the shadow, and when its near to land JUMP to the place about its gonna land, i think jump is the secret move make it easy to catch it every time

Opens up two daily quests, More Torch Tossing and More Torch Catching.

Kommentar von 36525

use
/script SetCVar("cameraDistanceMax", 50)

and go to 2D view above your head ( place the camera above your head and scroll back)

and when you use the tourrch just run under it

Kommentar von Bartur

Took me a bit to figure out how to start this darn thing - but *cough* I tried to catch everyones torches flying around (like alot of others did too) - until I understood that I had to actually go up myself to the Bonfire - press my"Unlit Torches".

Just wanted to make it a bit clear - that you have to YOURSELF - go to the bonfire and use your own "Unlit Torches" and chase those ;)

Edit: You do not have to click the torch - just run under it

As a Horde character, I found it easier to catch my torches in Thunderbluff, mostly because there are less people there and I can clearly see the shadows on the floor, in Orgrimmar I had difficulty seeing the shadows because they kept disapearing.

Kommentar von 149470

I suggest everyone go to Thunder Bluff, where there will be less people.

just kidding :P

Kommentar von wolfman109

Remember that it's the same torch that you throw up in air that you have to catch 4 times.

Light a torch -> catch it when it comes down -> catch it 3 mores times (you automatically throws it back in the air, when you catchs it.

I followed each and every suggestion and none of them worked. I think, in the end, it only is really helpful to do this when there's not anyone else around as it just gets too much, even with your camera set back.

I think that this is a very skipable little quest...

Oh and as a side note, DO NOT use the "/script SetCVar" suggestion unless you know how to work the code as I tried it and now my camera will not reset to where it was before...

Kommentar von Elinye

Good lord, this took forever. I spent about an hour on this one. Set your cameras however you like (I found it easiest to just zoom all the way out) but this is way easier when everyone and his mother isn't playing at the same time.

*edit*
This might be a bit "well, duh," but I also found it a little easier to be in a city that has lighter ground. For instance, it's a lot easier to see the shadow on the stone ground in Stormwind rather than the grassy, eternal twilight of Darnassus. Of course, Stormwind has a denser population, so you be the judge...

Kommentar von 113359

Another tip, try asking any nearby hunters to group with you... Aspect of the Pack works wonders.

Kommentar von Greenguy9595

to reset camera back to normal do

/console cameraDistanceMax 20
then use the scroll wheel to scroll in, when u scroll out again it will be where it was origionally

Kommentar von 84104

This quest was quite frustrating. I read a lot of the advice posted here and for me the best strategy was posted by sirupsen the one to zoom as far out as possible and put the camera in a "Bird's Eye" perspective. This makes tracking the shadow much easier and allows you to better see the direction in which the torch was thrown in case the shadow vanishes.

However, on the initial throw the toss went so high for me every time the shadow vanished. I just ran in the direction I saw the torch go and then watched for the shadow to reappear. It's a bit hard because if you just run out the entire time the torch is airborne you'll probably miss it. I hesitated once or twice. A few misses on your part and you should get the travel speed down well enough.

When you catch and retoss it looks to go in the direction opposite the direction you were facing when you made the catch. For these you can just run in the direction of the shadow and you should be alright. Once I got the hang of it, using the bird's eye camera, I aced it after about 10 tries. The daily is harder since it requires 10 catches. However, I got that one on my second try once I got the hang of it.

This quest does get progressively harder with more players attempting it around you so be wary of chasing the wrong shadow.

This quest gave me (at level 57) 8750xp and 85 silver.

Kommentar von 165292

Some tips: 1) take off all your +sta items: so you will lose lesser hp after miss;
2) follow the shadow on the ground from your torch (you need to set "spell detail" in video options near 55%);
3) Remember about ping and latency: you may be required to catch the torch when it is behind you;
4) Try to complete quest in cities where are not many people because you may lose your shadow.

Kommentar von 48977

I found that when I stood on the bonfire's pedestal, that when I threw the torch, there was no shadow. To counter this, merely stand on the stone ground and follow your own torch's shadow.

For those who don't want to fiddle with scripts, remember that Alt+z will hide your UI.

Kommentar von 137990

Does any1 know if xp is given for the daily?

Kommentar von 127328

Shadows seem to disappear for me at a frighteningly low distance from the ground (less than jump height). How do I crank that up so I can see a torch that gets chucked ten miles in the air?

Kommentar von Ikayuro

I've died several times doing this quest. I recommend going to the Exodar where things are much less.... busy. Great tips, by the way. Thanks!

-Meliari, Aggramar server

Kommentar von 162811

I did this on the test server a while back and it was impossible. but then they didn't have the Shadow on the ground. inifinitely easier now.

Kommentar von tlanwarrior

Draenei are glitched with this, they cannot catch the torch, despite being literally right on top of it. I have a feeling this is similar to the Lurker Below in SSC, which draenei have a problem getting onto his platform after jumping into the water.

I can verify this, because I went onto my night elf druid and did this quest first shot, while on my draenei I had close to 10-11 times failing a day before I've had it work.

Kommentar von RooZ

For alliance, to do this really easily (I did the "More Torch Catching" on my first try today, yesterday I tried over 20 times and gave up) here are some tips:
- Go to the Exodar, it's a lot easier to see the shadows, it's usually less crowded than most other cities, and the catching area is pretty clear from objects.
- If you're a Hunter, put on Aspect of the Cheetah, it works wonders :)
- Unsummon any pets, companions, etc.
- Use your mouse to turn
- If you lag like me, stand a little bit infront of the shadow when it comes down
- Have a lot of patience, on the daily "More Torch Catching" you have to catch it 10 times!
- Some people say that jumping before it lands helps, it usually does, but it can cause other problems (over jumping, etc) I never had to use it anyway

Hope this helps :)

Kommentar von Hurts

this quest SUCKS and totally not worth it. if a mount or a cool usable item isn't involved .....see later.

Kommentar von 133697

This quest is TERRIBLE.

Unless you're getting some sort of hardon from Burning Blossoms, I see no reason to do it.

I don't know what Blizzard was thinking. While it is somewhat easy after you find some sort of trick, there is no universal trick that works -- what will work varies depending on the aesthetics of your bonfire's location, and the graphic settings / capabilities of your computer. By the time you realize that this quest sucks, look it up on wowhead, try various tricks until one works for you, you could've got a plethora of blossoms, xp, gold, rep or whatever in any number of ways other than this mind numbing quest.

Kommentar von SkylineBNR34

The flames got toned down, they now do about 1% damage per second, despite the tooltip. Rejoice in the not dying.

Kommentar von 167300

Not sure if this is another blood elf bug, but I didn't get 10k xp for completing this qst. I got more like 1k xp despite what this page indicates as the quest reward.

Kommentar von 168080

One thing I've consistently noticed is that players performing this quest have trouble locating where the flame will land. Just stay a little behind the shadow that appears, as most people run in front of it thinking it will travel further. And it doesn't hurt to have a mage make you some food, as this quest really wears down your health! ; )

Kommentar von 104931

After following the advice I found here, I also found that the only way to consistently catch the torch was not to be right on top of the shadow, but just behind the shadow. After trying over and over with a few characters, I finally found this gave me a much higher chance of catching the torch. Whether it's latency, or just how it is, I don't know.

For all intents and purposes, this quest is actually fun...and somehow, at the same time, it can be terribly frustrating if you don't know just how to do it.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

It's a pain, but it's do-able. As said above, watch for the shadows, and hope there aren't too many others doing it at the same time.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

thnx for the help and the info took me about 6 tries after reading the zoom out and follow the shadow helped alot very helpful :)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

After reading the hints here about how to catch the torch, I went back to the game and it seems I have somehow lost the torches. Is there a way to get more of the torches or am I out of luck on finishing this quest. Thanks in advance.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

...BAH HUMBUG.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I'm all for seasonal fun, I think it's a cool part of MMORGs, but this one is riduculous - unless you are hell bent on doing all the fire festival quests, don't bother.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

omg i think this quest took me 50 min with the first two before it! u dont have to click on the torches when they r falling u just have to get underneath them and they fall right next to the dock to the ship and the shadows dont really appear in the shadows of the trees its a pain in the ass
Question text

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I found the best way to do this for me was to zoom out as far as possible from my character and then look down on my character from directly above, then when you throw the torch you don't lose sight of it, and you just try stay under it until it hits you on the head.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I'm having a really hard time with this because I don't see any shadows. Is there a setting I need to change to be able to see them? If so, what? I've tried changing just about all of my video settings with no luck.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The trick is to watch the shadow of your torch on the ground so you can get under it. Best to avoid doing it at the same time as others as you lose track of which torch is yours.
Personally I think whoever came up with these torch quests should be forced to do 5 hours straight of lvl 19 warsong gulch. :p
