Quests
The Harvest Festival event only has one quest that leads you to honor a specific hero based on your faction. Members of the Alliance Honoring a Hero will be directed to Uther’s Tomb in Western Plaguelands. Members of the Horde Honoring a Hero will be directed to Grom’s Monument in Ashenvale. After completing this quest an item called Bounty of the Harvest will show up in your mailbox. This quest can be obtained outside of Iron Forge or Orgrimmar based on your faction. Before you ask, yes you may use the Bounty of the Harvest item.

Spirit Shards
There are 4 different types of spirit shards that you can get from completing the Honoring a Hero quest. They are as follows: an Anxious Spiritshard, a Forlorn Spiritshard, a Peaceful Spiritshard, or a Vengeful Spiritshard. You are NOT ALLOWED to use these items.

Food
What’s a celebration without food? Not much of one that’s for sure. We know your challengers can work up quite the appetite so you’re in luck as there is some lovely challenger friendly food available. Tables of food can be found set up outside Iron Forge and Orgrimmar. The Harvest Boar, Harvest Bread, and Harvest Fish will restore 4% of your health per second for 25 seconds. The Harvest Nectar will restore 4% of your mana per second for 30 seconds. You’re able to have up to 20 of each of these items and they don’t expire so stock up while you can!
