Update 2021 !
Ich hab die Quest jetzt mehrmals in verschiedenen Dörfern ausprobiert ( alleine ). Jedesmal sind die Flammen einfach ausgegangen und ich hab die Quest nicht abgeschlossen. Die Quest hat bei mir NUR am "Falkenplatz" im Blutelfenstartgebiet funktioniert. Alleine und ohne Probleme - für alle die suchen -> einfach dahingehen und es sind nur 2 Gebäude zu löschen.

You can find this quest at a town outside your factions major city.

The headless horseman usually comes around every 15-30 minutes, idk since i didn't time it.

It is also important to note (All fires must be put out to complete this quest) If all the fires aren't put out, then you don't complete the quest and you have to wait another 15-30 minutes for him to come back.

Kommentar von mrdummy

There are also another players who want put out fire or want just help.... that makes quest finish more easier :)

Kommentar von mdfrancois

I am convinced this must be broken, as I have never seen anyone complete this in more than 10 tries.

Ok, this is a very easy quest but also very easy to fail. The trick is which fires you put out first. The fire seems to be affected by gravity, so fire on the roof will grow and when it is large will 'drip' down to the middle of the building, which in turn will grow large and set the bottom section ablaze. Hence, putting out the fires on the roof first will mean the ones in the middle of the buildings won't be added to (from the roof fires) and the quest will be easily completed.

You can't solo the quest though, you will need at least four other players to help you. The fire grows too fast to get through it in the time for just one person.

What I usually do is check an area until there are several people around, generally low level players are in the area anyway. I've found Brill to be MUCH easier to extinguish than some of the other places since it's pretty much just one building on fire. While you are able to pass buckets from person to person, I've never actually seen it happen and when I try to coordinate people it ends up to be a waste of time.

With four or more people, you can do this pretty easily. It's an extremely easy source of 24 gold at 70 (12 from putting out the fires and another 12 from smashing the pumpkin the Headless Horseman leaves behind and talking to the matron again) and random goodies.

Guide to "Let the Fires Come!" and "Stop the Fires!"

- If the event has not started you will get "Let the Fires Come!". If the event is going you will get "Stop the Fires!". If you already have "Stop the Fires!" in your log and the event is not going you can drop that quest and it will offer "Let the Fires Come!". The event starts once someone accepts "Let the Fires Come!". As long as the pumpkin is gone you can do this event!

- As mentioned before, all the fires need to be completely put out. There can be as many as 3 buildings affected, from my experience.

- Fires spread! Focus on one building at a time.

- Form a brigade! You can pass buckets to each other down the line. You can set up your distance before the event starts. You can't hold more that one bucket, so if you are staging make sure you toss your bucket if you are last in line.

- You can get credit on all your alts with one dousing of the fire!
1. Store all your alts in the inn.
2. Log in each one and accept the quest to put out the fires, then log out with it incomplete.
3. Help put out the fires with the last character.
4. Turn in the "put out the fire" and the "smash the pumpkin" quest for each. The pumpkin should last long enough for each character to get it, provided your computer/Internet are fast enough for the logon process. Note, you will get credit for putting out the fire as you approach the quest giver.

Youll start the event by taking the quest.

Very fun quest too :)

Kommentar von Drudatz

Worst Seasonal quest ever...

Kommentar von Rikketik

I noticed that the buildings catch fire in a particular order. For Razor Hill it's:
1. The Burrow
2. The Inn
3. The Barracks.
This is important, because they keep doing so during the event. However, and I hope someone can confirm this, they don't spread backwards.

For example, when you start with the Inn and then do the Burrow, there is a large chance that the Inn will catch fire again. But when you start with the Burrow and thén do the Inn, you don't have to worry about the Burrow anymore. Wich will save you, and the rest of the fire brigade at the scene, a lot of extra and unnecessary work

For you lone wolves in the horde:

It's entirely possible to solo this quest in Falconwing Square (in Eversong Woods). The key is to start dousing the flames from the trainer building (not the inn) first and fast, since it's farther away from the water barrel than the inn. Don't forget that the Headless Horseman starts the fires in two waves (in this order for example: building #1, building #2, building #1, building #2).

I concentrated my water buckets on one location only and if the other flames started to spread around (i.e. they grow large), I threw one water bucket at them and resumed on concentrating my water buckets at that one location. There's probably a better tactic for this but this one worked for me.

Once you're done with the other building (can take a few tries if you're unlucky or if you screwed up), start dousing the flames from the inn. It's a lot closer to the water barrel, so dousing it's flames should be a piece of cake, even if it's on full fire.

I recommend movement enhancing skills/talents/items/enchants (Swiftness Potions perhaps?) if you try to solo this, they make it a lot easier.

is this for brill,, falconwing and taurens place?

Putting out the Fires
I've managed to solo this quest on my blood elf warlock (who was level 7 at the time). Did it in Falconwing Square, not sure if it can be soloed elsewhere due to layout differences. But basically, I centred my efforts on the trainer building before the inn. So I kept running back and forth, and did the flames by quenching the larger and making them smaller. Had the first building completed before his second rhyme.

Second building was a lot easier to do because of how close it is to the water barrel, it's like 2 steps if that. So that one while it was completely spread over the building was put out very quickly as I used the same strategy, big flames first, then quench the little ones. Best option is to bind the bucket to something like the '2' or '3' key.

This strategy applies both in a group and a solo situation, as putting out the small flames, you'll be there all day putting out the small flames over and over again because they'll jump around the building from the larger flames. It's also a good idea to target the building furthest from the water barrel, that way when those fires are put out you can easily just dash back and forth between the closer building.

Fighting The Horsemen
After the fire is extinguished the Horsemen will descend and start fighting. The guards will try and fight him off, and due to the scripts he'll kick their asses despite their levels being twice his, but at the same time they respawn fast. So the trick is let the guards aggro him, drop a dot (or just wander around the area avoiding his aggro), and his hp will continue to diminish.

He doesn't seem to regenerate his hp (or at least, I've never seen him do so). I kept casting corruption on him while the guards got his aggro, so he'd chase them down and kill them while corruption ticked away at him.

Of course the above strategy for fighting him is COMPLETELY pointless if someone level 13+ is around. Also, make sure not to be in proximity to anyone who may have less than 2000+ hp (which I did), I was lucky enough that I was spread out from my pet that I didn't get KOd by conflagration.

Notes
-Can be soloed (in Falconwing Square, at least)
-Large flames should always be the priority
-If trying to solo it's probably the best idea to hold down right-mouse and swirve the mouse left/right to turn (so that it's sharp fast turning)
-Make sure that you watch the first building when completing the flames, so that the flames are indefinitely quenched
-Spread out from any other person, because conflagration CAN kill you
-If less than level 13 or lacking heals at level 16 or less, let the guards do the dirty work

The buckets can be passed to other players who are quite some distance away (i'd wager a guess at around 30 yards or so), so forming a "bucket brigade" with multiple players is the easiest way to do this. One person sits at the bucket and grabs water, and then throws it to other players ("runners") who are closer to the fires. The best part is, you do not have to be in a party to throw buckets to runners, or to get credit. If you station yourself at the bucket and start throwing them, people will figure out very quickly what you are doing, and stop running all the way back. (Or, you know, you could communicate with people and tell them what you are doing).

I highly recommend keybinding the bucket, as I was able to keep 5 players stocked with buckets, greatly reducing their own travel times to "reload" with more water.

Kommentar von cuddlebunnie

how the heck do you throw the bucket? im so lost...

Kommentar von 109740

Before the start:
- Get an Elder's Moonstone or an Elune Stone, alternatively a flare or similar effect will do.
- Pick up a bucket and keybind it
- Stand as far from the water barrel as you can (towards the buildings that will be on fire) while still able to pick up buckets
-Work out the furthest and most convenient location you can throw buckets to from where you are

When it starts:
- Drop your moonstone on the location you worked out
- /yell go to the moonbeam to get buckets
- Just keep throwing buckets into the moonbeam

It only really takes 1 or 2 people to work out what's going on after that to make it a really easy event.

Kommentar von 662560

Horde = Brill is your best choise, easiest place to get them out. Solo is possible with some skill, its easy with just two or three players working together there!

Kommentar von Mirrodin

As of today 18-10-2011 i went to do the quest exactly when the seasonal event went on, i talked to the matron npc and i got the error msg "you don't meet the requirements for that quest", what does that mean ? Did anyone else got it ?

Kommentar von valfader

Just for the record - this quest is impossible to solo.

You simply don't have the time to run back and forth fetching buckets of water. The best idea is still to form a line and throw the water at each other to gain further reach.

Don't do like I did and waste 10 mins trying to do this alone.

Kommentar von 655468

Just a tip on reaching the fires burning furthest from the water bucket, the Flying Broom appears to be instant cast, and if you try to toss you water bucket from ground level, you don't have to dismount first.

Kommentar von fishbone

Its much easier if you assign people to throw water to you.

We just took 3 people casting and 2 people casting water to them.

Just focus on the same houses and also there a guard casting water in Razorhill and he can help much if you a smaller group with like 3 people

Kommentar von 430975

This quest is so @#$%ing annoying, we were 5 spamming the water on the houses in Brill and we got half the fire out. And on the last house (where the Inn is) it just kept reappearing and reappearing when we were spamming the water. Anyone got any suggestions? Because this is driving me crazy, 12 mintues of really annoying %^&* wasted and I dont wanna waste any more on failing because blizzard is too damn retarded to make something usefull. Also now I am unable to go to Razor Hill where the 20 people are and stuck with Brill. Anyone know why I cant swtich to Razor Hill? Remember doing this back in Wotlk and this was so easy, no chance on failing etc, but now its like impossible to do.

Kommentar von Vifor

It seems that are actualy more quests then just one per aliance/horde. Since I got this quest in Brill and extinguished later on in Razor Hill. And i didn't got completed. Even if can deliver this quest (once completed) at any Masked Orphan Matron, it seems u have to put the fires out in the vilage where u got the quest.

Kommentar von Asubatsu

Does anyone know what the interval is for him to show up? I waited at razor hill for 45 minutes and nothing. now at falconwing and again, nothing.

Kommentar von 899601

If you are having difficuly completing this quest due to a low pop on your faction, try this. I'm Horde. I found this out quite by accident whilst doing the douse the wickerman, when I went to douse the Alliance wickerman, Goldshire was a thriving hub and they were rapidly putting out their fires. By flying and hovering near the Goldshire Inn I received quest completion. I was also able to swoop in and grab the quest from the pumpkin head that the Headless Horseman leaves behind and turn both in at Brill. As Brill is a ghost town (no pun intended) and completing this quest was difficult, this was a nice surprise!

Kommentar von ThaLunatik

Doing this solo in Falconwing Square seems to have been nerfed this year. The range for throwing water was reduced greatly, making it impossible to outpace the fire if the left inn is on fire.

I read somewhere Löscht das Feuer! that setting up a campfire as a go-to spot for bucket-passing is helpful. Problem is, F2P characters can't shout or whisper, and high-lvl's who can't see your text just run right by the campfire. SO HERE'S THE TRICK:

Start throwing buckets at the campfire. Throw TONS of them, and quickly! You want this to be NOTICED! You'll get the goofs who think you're trying to douse the campfire, but then 1 or 2 will catch on and start standing near it. Even if just to watch. Hit em with the buckets and soon enough word spreads (or see-it-do-it spreads too). Once you get folks coming there for buckets, if you're quick enough and have good aim (set it somewhere you can get a good camera angle), just 1 bucket-passer can feed 2-3 bucket-tossers. Reason is the tossers have to calculate where on the building to throw it, but you only have to hit them. The target is their FEET, btw.

SOME TIPS FOR QUICKNESS: You and the bucket-tossers can each only hold one bucket at a time. (Taurens don't get to show off their muscles here, sorry; nor mages bypass the whole tiny bucket operation-thing.) This means that if you feed a bucket-tosser who's already holding a bucket, it'll just splash at his feet. What a waste! Instead, activate the bucket (get the green glowy aiming circle), but don't toss it yet; hold your cursor over his feet, and click AS SOON AS he tosses his own bucket. This trick also works if folks aren't catching on to the campfire idea. Tossing buckets as them as they pause to throw their own helps the idea sink in, even if you miss, and especially if they come back to the watering hole and "can't pick up more of that item."

Also, if you're the one DOING THE RUNNING, more quickness tips for ya: Set yourself up so you only have to strafe between the watering hole and the place you stand for dousing the building. Zoom out enough to see your target, but also in enough so trees/etc. don't block your view. Strafe heads you directly left or right, with no forwards, backwards, or turning, so you can spend more time directing your aim and less time controlling your character. You also DON'T HAVE TO WAIT until you're at your target to activate the bucket (get the green glowy aiming circle); you can click that on the way over and be aiming before you even reach the toss-spot. With this strafing technique, if you're in an area where less folks are around (and therefore the fires spread less quickly, as this quest scales to players), you can easily solo the whole danged thing. Speed-buffs not required.

Cheers! :)

not that everyone should start doing this, but I got the quest, had to go afk for a few and when I came back the quest was completed and his pumpkin head was waiting on the floor. laziness ftw!

Kommentar von Doomgrip

If you are on an imbalanced server without anyone helping you this quest can be completed in the opposite factions town. Pick up the quest in your own town as well as a bucket of water. Travel to the opposite factions town and wait for the event to begin. Land on a roof to throw the water bucket at a patch of fire and fly up again and wait for the fires to be put out by the opposite faction. The quest should now complete for you.

After the Headless Horseman has been killed you can also pick up the quest Zermatsch den Kürbis from the pumpkin on the ground. However, be prepared for max level guards appearing out of nowhere to attack you.

Kommentar von ivanmex

If you want to do this quest for the extra Tricky Treat,but the event has started,just wait till the fires are put out and the quest giver will change his quest to this.The best thing is that if you accept it a few seconds after the event finished it auto-completes,without you having to wait for the next event.

Kommentar von 1262440

This quest IS possible to solo. I did it this morning. You have to be really quick and have the Zauberbesen.

Kommentar von GamersGuild

This is a prime example of a failed quest. There are so many issues that it will take awhile to list them.

When I target an area to throw my bucket of water I literally miss some times. bucket falls short.

Even when I target an area the splash of water literally does nothing.

Players will not target the same area. If you target where they are they run to a new area. This does not work.

Players don't realize that "hot spots" reignite fires. They endlessly put out the fire that will automatically be reignited.

Players don't realize they can delete the quest and restart it when they fail (and they will fail). I have kept groups putting out fires continuously until we accomplish it just by knowing to delete the "failed" quest and start over.

Please add your observations of what is "broken" with this quest.

Kommentar von Mathiason

A few tips for the quest.
1) Bucket Brigade fastest way to get buckets to fire locations. Bucket Brigade being 1st person standing next to bucket well gets bucket, tosses it to 2nd person partway between farthest fire and bucket well who catches it, then tosses it to 3rd person who's closer to farthest fire who throws it on the farthest fire. Trick is to time it so don't toss bucket to person until after see them throw previous one.
2) Second fastest way use a hotkey to summon magic broom to instantly mount and fly up halfway to a spot where can throw bucket to a fire then start going down other half so when reach spot can throw right away. Then do same thing in reverse to return to water bucket. Especially if going back and forth from bucket to farthest fires and back. If don't have magic broom use a flying mount, (still faster to run mounted even if don't have flying) will take a sec or two to mount but still lot faster than running back and forth on foot.
3) Aim for big fires first then the little ones. Granted it's tempting to finish off the little ones fire before tackling the big ones but will take longer because the big ones will create new little ones every couple of secs by shooting an ember. So faster and easier if prevent more little ones from restarting from the big ones. Little fires can only get bigger, they can't restart a fire in a spot you put out. Learned this the hard way after putting out a couple of little fires and then seeing big fire nearby shoot an ember and restart a fire in spot just cleared within two seconds. So first constantly prevent new fires from being created and then start putting out the smaller fires.
4) Setup two hotkeys. One for mounting broom, second for selecting bucket to throw. Will shave off few seconds would use moving cursor to select broom or bucket and then move back to target fire.

I couldn't manage to solo Falconwing Square this year, having fairly easily done it in previous years (did not try in 2018).

Kommentar von JCarr178

this is possibly the biggest waste of time i have ever encountered in WoW. you literally get ONE TREAT for all this work. ONE!

Kommentar von Probenzo

Seems ridiculous after 9.0 patch. I did this in Brill with about 4 others spamming water the entire time, we only managed to put out 1 of 3 buildings. Even when you put a fire node out, it respawns fairly quickly and will continue to do so until every node on the building is out.

Kommentar von Ciupanezu

Forget about this quest.

Kommentar von Haflo

This quest is f-king broken - at least in Brill.

I found an easy way of completing this if you are horde.
While you are at elwynn forest to douse the alliance wickerman , mount up and fly over goldshire , stand there for 15 minutes and let the alliance complete this for you :)
you will get credit even if you do nothing way up in the air , just make sure you have the quest in log.

To get to Elwynn fast , take the quest to drop bombs in SW , and as soon as you are in SW on the broom - log out and in , you will appear in Elwynn forest

Kommentar von Exsound

I found this achievement to be quite tricky to get. Since I couldn't do it solo on the horde side, I used a toon in Argent Dawn RP server, since a lot o people are always around goldshire, and a bunch of other players joined in too, I managed to complete this in less than 5 minutes.
