In the end, you gonna have 5 moonkin hatchlings following you for 5 days. Nothing else.

Seeing as how many were asking in general chat for everything related to this quest. Just ask your hatchling for help, if you are stumped. They give general hints as to what to do next, even if there are no quest pointers or anything.

A Guide to the Moonkin Festival

The Moonkin Festival takes place on 12 November each year, celebrating moonkin existance and giving you the opportunity to observe them, dance with them and battle an evil demon moonkin foe!

What can I get?
(Because it's the first question many ask)
The reward is getting 5 little Moonkin Hatchlings that lovingly follow you around for 5 days. Completing the only quest involved (see below) also gives the title "<name>, Adventuring Instructor" but this only lasts as long as you have the Moonkin Hatchling buff. You also get to feel good about yourself for helping out moonkins!

Where does it start?
There isn't a breadcrumb quest for this, you just need to head to Moonglade and find Makkaw, who gives the quest Moonkin Monitoring.
You can find him on the path near Elena Flutterfly, the Master Pet Tamer, on the map, at /way 45.4, 62

What to do? - TL:DR Version
(For those who don't think much of moonkins(!) but feel compelled to take part in the Festival anyway)

What to do? - The Plump, Feathered Version
(For those who want to fully embrace their inner moonkin!)

Part 1: Observing and learning
You start with the quest Moonkin Monitoring from Makkaw, which requires you to observe 3 separate groups of little moonkins, learning about moonkin life. You'll see the 3 areas highlighted on your minimap.
- The first is group is lead by Astralaire, just behind Makkaw (/way 45.4, 63.4). He is teaching his class to dance. Just hang out, watching them for ~ 30 seconds or so to get credit. If you don't /dance in this time, you're not embracing your inner moonkin!
- The second group is lead by Pewkew (/way 42.4, 66.5), who is teaching Moonfire; a rather important survival skill for our mini-moonkins once they leave Moonglade! Once again just hang out with them for ~ 30 secs. If you're a druid, you should probably Moonfire the Practice Target to help teach the Hatchlings.
- The third group is lead by Dramock (/way 44.7, 69.9). Hang out with them again to get credit, maybe have a little /sleep and dream of being a 'Naptime Instructor' too, which is surely one of the best jobs in the world!
Once you've had enough observing of cuteness, head back to Makkaw and hand in the quest. Completing it rewards you with the buff Moonkin Hatchling - giving you a little Moonkin Hatchling follower for 24 hours - awww! You also get the "<name>, Adventuring Instructor" title. This may only last as long as the buff - currently unknown!

That's the only quest, the rest you have to work out from speaking to your Hatchling followers.

Part 2: Food = Increased Happiness!
So, speak to your new Mooonkin Hatchling follower now; it will say 'Hungry' or 'Berries' - it seems you need to find food!
Head off east, down the path and, once you cross the 2nd bridge after Makkaw, you should notice Mondbeere spawns glittering/glowing near the base of trees. (Will show on your minimap if you have treasure tracking). Collect 5 and "Use" them to feed your Hatchling. Each time you do, your Hatchling will send a little heart into the air to let you know how much it appreciates your kindness. Once they've had 5 a second Hatchling will start following you, yay! And your buff will also upgrade to Moonkin Hatchlings (now lasting 2 days). Any more berries and you'll likely get an emote that they are full and don't feel too good - so that's enough berry collecting!

Part 3: Defeating the demons!
Speak to either of your Hatchlings and they'll want you to 'Kill Jadefire!' (Well, killing demons is what you do anyway right!) You may have already killed a few of these as they hang out near moonberry spawns, but you'll find them all over the Stormrage Barrow Dens area of Moonglade. There are 3 types around: Jadefire Shadowmasters, Jadefire Illusionists and Jadefire Pyromancers. Now you're on this part, when you kill them they drop Mondscheinwasser, Schimmernde Phiole and Verderbnis von Constellas. Collect all 3 and combine to make a Mondgeküsstes Gegengift, causing your buff to upgrade to 3 days and a third Hatchling to join your posse!

Part 4: Curing Clookle!
Armed with the Antidote, your Hatchlings now ask you to 'Help Clookle' - we can guess he's likely a moonkin but finding Clookle is the trick! He's actually in one of the Stormrage Barrow Dens, that has an entrance at /way 71.18, 56.23 at the top of a short slope, next to a large moonwell with a grand archway entrance. On the map this is the one at the end of the word 'Dens' in Stormrage Barrow Dens.
Head right down to the bottom of the Den - it's pretty deep this one, just keep following paths that go down! And there you'll find a very green looking Clookle, up on a balcony. Just run across the bridge into the room opposite and you can run round to him. Speak to him to get the option to use the Antidote and you'll cure him! (Although he doesn't look much better...)
Once more your buff will upgrade (to 4 days) and a forth Hatchling will join you - such a moonkin hero!

Part 5: Poisonous Revenge!
Once that's done, speak to Clookle again and he'll ask you to "kill the one that did this". So head back up, out of the Den, and you should see Xavinox - the obvious culprit! - on a platform in the middle of the large Moonwell opposite you (unless someone else has just killed him - quick respawn though!)
He's deceptively tough, so group up if you can. He casts Pyroblast (which is good to interrupt) and Mirror Image. If you get all the images casting Pyroblast at you together, it hurts! Once killed Xavinox drops Boomiepuppe, using this causes the fith and final Hatchling to join you and the buff to go up to 5 days - surrounding you with adorableness! (And yes, you can summon your Moonkin Hatchling pet, so you have 6 following you!)

You are Amazing!
And that's it, you now have your own little group of Moonkin Hatchlings to follow you around. If you speak to them now, they say 'Yay!', 'Hooray!' and 'You are amazing.' and while you already knew that, having a Moonkin Hatchling tell you is what makes this day totally worthwhile! Enjoy!

Note: for rogues and other stealthers: A few seconds after you stealth you will lose the buff and the Moonkin Hatchlings will disappear. A few seconds after you leave stealth the buff and Hatchlings return!
Note 2: Mondkinstein is listed in the items for this event, but it is no longer in the game nor needed to understand Moonkin.

Edit: Added details, improved formatting, corrected spolling.

Kommentar von Valjaana

"Hungry?" "Berries!" The Moonkin Hatchling clearly wants some food! You can find Mondbeere at south-east of Moonglade close to Stormrage Barrow Dens!

Kommentar von Rekpire

Note: old Beta videos of this show that you have to get a "moonkin stone" to talk to the moonkins. Ignore those old videos. The moonkin stones were removed from the quest, no longer needed. Once you get your first moonkin just talk to it and do what it says. Start by gathering berries at the barrow dens -- they glow as a quest item. Clookie is all the way at the bottom of the barrows and is a pain to find. He/she is on a balcony outside one of the little barrow rooms you reach via a bridge. Tip for Xavinox at the end: wait until a decent tank attacks him first (unless you're the tank) because he can hit hard once he spawns mirror image and he can run up to dps and one shot you depending on gear.

Aaaaw these cute thing actually fires moonbeams on enemies! :D
Submitted a screenshot.

It seems like they randomly grow a flower to! :o
Edit: ^

Kommentar von Eshja

For all moonkin lovers, they are again available in the store (but I don't see them in-game). I guess that's temporary just for a festival. Check it here: https://eu.shop.battle.net/pl-pl/product/world-of-warcraft-pet-moonkin-hatchling

Kommentar von Dyzdaemar

What a total waste of time... :(

Kommentar von Amallah

If you target one of your Moonkin Hatchlings and /dance, it'll dance with you! You can do this while targeting each of the hatchlings until they all dance with you!

Kommentar von Malachi68

Clookie isn't very easy to find. He's in the far southwestern part of the tunnels - at 68, 56 on the mini-map. You need to go over the bridge to the right of Clookie, go left through the back tunnel and swing around to the balcony where Clookie is lying down.

Kommentar von aaluah

Stone was removed. Just click on moon kin and they will tell you what to do but basically it’s this:
Do the initial quest line to get your temporary pet. Obtain 5 berries and feed to your moonkin. Kill lots of Jadefire mobs to obtain the 3 ingredients you need to feed to Clookie. To get to Clookie the cave is at 71,56 it’s up on a hill. Once you feed the sickly green Clookie moonkin go outside to the big fountain and kill Xavinox. He will drop a blue item and you click on it in your bag to make 5 moonkins that are now happy with you in all their fuzziness. You now have the 5 hatchlings for 5 days. You can not right click them to make them go away and they persist through death. They are with you everywhere and fight mobs with you using tiny moonfire!

Kommentar von DanielC949

All enemies for this event will scale to your level.

Kommentar von pengboy08

walking around doing things with the moonkin in moonkin form makes me feel like a mother i wish blizz would add this in as a permanent toy

Kommentar von Doloria

I successfully picked up 5 Mondkinküken with my level 12 (originally level 20) druid because everything scaled. Even with the guide, a lot of things weren’t clear. If you're pressed for time, here is a condensed version with some extra tips.
1.	Make your way to the 2nd Ally flight point in the south of Moonglade. If you don't have flying, follow the path around the lake counterclockwise. When you are close you’ll see a crowd. The location name Stormrage Barrow Dens should appear on your map.
2.	Find moonkin (yellow quest marker above head). Coords 45.4, 62.0. He gives the quest Mondkinbeobachtung.
3.	Find 3 different groups of hatchlings. These areas are outlined in blue on the mini map. Each group is doing different things: dancing, sleeping, practicing on a target dummy. Do all these things yourself. /dance /sleep and say BOOM or boom (no slash). You receive a Mondkinküken. There are no other quests. Interact with your Mondkinküken for hints on what to do next.
4.	Your Mondkinküken will say hungry or berries. Pick blue Mondbeeres from sparkling bushes near tree trunks. You need 5. Check tree trunks near the lake. Check the mini map for yellow dots. The respawn is slow. Target a Mondkinküken and click the 5 berries. Hearts show how happy your Mondkinküken is. You receive your second Mondkinküken. You can kill Jadefeuerschattenmeisters which are satyrs while you wait for berries to respawn.
5.	Your Mondkinküken will tell you to kill Jadefire satyrs. Start farming Jadefeuerschattenmeisters. This seemed doubtful as a level 12, but their hp scaled down. In 2020 the satyrs hit hard. Jadefeuerschattenmeisters drop silver coins and the 3 ingredients: Schimmernde Phiole, Mondscheinwasser, Verderbnis von Constellas you need to make a healing potion. Click on any ingredient to combine them into a Mondgeküsstes Gegengift. You now have 3 Mondkinküken. They tell you to help/cure Gluckel.
6.	To find Gluckel, the sick green moonkin, enter the barrow den up on a hill. It’s not the den closest to the path. The entrances to all the dens are made of marble, so you’re not looking for a cave. OP gives the coords of 71.2, 56.2. On the map, the entrance is under the letters "ns" in the word "Dens", as in "Stormrage Barrow Dens". There are wardens at the entrance. If you meet hostiles inside, it’s the wrong barrow.
7.	Once you’re in the barrow, turn left at the first fork in the path. Go down and down. There are no creatures down there. If you’re in a round room and stuck, check for a hidden exit to the left. Gluckel is at the bottom of the barrow. There is a large circle at the bottom of the mini map. You'll see a narrow curving path that starts at the left side of the circle. Take it. Cross a bridge and there is Gluckel, a full size green Moonkin sitting down. Administer Mondgeküsstes Gegengift. Gluckel says Kill the one responsible. That would be Xavinox, an elite satyr. You now have 4 Mondkinküken. Leave the barrow - heading upwards.
8.	Your Mondkinküken tell you Xavinox is scary. Yup, for a level 12 he is. And in 2020 he’s overpowered and scary for most. If you’re under level 50 you won’t be able to use the Premade group finder. So ask for help in chat. Wait for Xavinox to spawn on a circular raised platform. Being ranged helped as a lowbie. Xavinox drops a doll - Boomiepuppe. Click on it to give it to your Mondkinküken. They are now happy and say nice things. Now you have 5 Mondkinküken. If you have flying, your Mondkinküken will fly with you in formation. If it’s really late and you and others just die too many times, call it a day and leave with 4 Mondkinküken. /sigh
Keep one?	Sometimes you can buy a single Moonkin Hatchling battle pet from the Blizzard online shop. Sometimes pets are half price.

If you liked this festival, watch for the World Event: Hatching of the Hippogryphs at the end of February.

Kommentar von Grammie

I finished...I never could have done it without the help of my level 45 hunter son though...I am a level 110 and the bad guys were killing me at an alarming rate...then they seemed to wait for me to come back in the grave yard and bammed me again...luckily my son showed up and took care of these guys for me and I was able to complete this thing - very happy I do not need to go there for another year...why a level 110 would need the help of a level 45 to complete a quest is beyond me...but I did get all five of the little guys and have gladly added my shot

Kommentar von Mondoblasto

The hatchlings from the buff will use the moonfire attack animation on your targets. It doesn't actually do anything, but it's the thought that counts. : )

Kommentar von Fenril7

The reason why I will not do this quest for the moonkin hatchlings following me around is because when I stealth, those hatchlings do NOT stealth and other people can get a general idea where you are. Now that was last year (2017), not sure if this was fixed in 2018..... if so please let me know.

Kommentar von Wolfbride

If you have trouble getting the moonkin to tell you that the Jadefire have the antidote, log out and log back in. It worked for several of our guildmates (2018)

Kommentar von HeroicRyan816

BEWARE: Once you have the moonkin hatchlings, you're stuck with them. The aura is NOT able to be cancelled.

Kommentar von Dneil12

as of 11 12 2020 watch that final boss. hes a massive undercon. it took a group of 5 of us to take him down.

Kommentar von Spilledstars

Beware the final boss Xavinox that is in front of the dreamway portal after you have healed Clookle inside the barrow dens.

As others have mentioned his scaling is really horrible; I'm going to give finer details.

His pyroblast spell does fairly heavy damage but is not the worst. If your playstyle or your class or your gearing is "i can either DPS or i can heal" forget it Without a crowd; you can't take this guy. He is the same level AS YOU and he's "geared" as elite. If he's up for long enough his spell Mirror Image ends up with 4 of him. The babies are right to be scared of him.

edit to add: If you call upon a friend THEY CANNOT AID THE FIGHT unless they also talk to the young boomers and get on the same spot as you on the plan. Xavinox is green to them, red after the healing of Clookle.

They don't hit less hard. It's pretty easy to get dead at this point. I'm not sure even a paladin can do it solo.
You need to interrupt Mirror Images, or you need a dedicated healer and tank. Probably both.

The spirit healer is not terribly close, zerging it isn't easy (and if you're solo obviously is insufficient to keep him injured).
With a group of three keeping to our roles we were able to do it, but it took a few minutes, and some swiftmends.

The reward seems to be a blue usable item to keep the little-boomers with you for another few days.

Kommentar von Coldwinter

Just want to let you all know that if you /dance with your hatchling it will dance back, and you can get all 5 to dance!
