Spring Balloon Festival

The Spring Balloon Festival Micro Event is on May 10th 12.01am (US pst) until May 12 11.59pm (US pst)

During this event you can take a free hot air balloon ride over the lands of Azeroth. Each ride lasts about 4 minutes and your tour guide will provide some light entertainment during the flight.

Balloon rides are marked on your map with a red cross. Once you get to the balloons location you speak with the NPC to queue for a balloon ride. Each balloon needs 3 players to take flight but it is not faction specific. Once 3 players have spoken to the NPC you will automatically jump into the balloon and the ride will begin.

There are a few things to keep in mind  –

1. This is a micro event so there is no reward for doing this just the chance to see the beautiful lands of Azeroth from the comfort of a guided hot air balloon which in my opinion is worth the time 🙂

2. You can exit the vehicle at anytime during the tour but there is no slow fall buff so be sure and do it over water or  have yourself a glider, parachute or some slow fall effect. If you mount up while on the ride it will automatically kick you off to your death as well.
