Candy Buckets makes it easier to track several world event objectives:
- Hallow's End
- Lunar Festival
- Midsummer Fire Festival
Features implemented:
- Simple overview on zone and continent views.
- Works with the default map, probably not with other map related addons.

In reply to Haur:
Thanks! This location will be fixed in the next update. :)
It'd probably be a good idea to test this stuff before releasing it, was working the other day and I downloaded the update today and boom.. Nothing is working for midsummer fire festival now.
Now whatever version I go back to, nothing is working. Thanks for that. :\
In reply to tikkongalak:
I am only aware of one issue and that is detecting the event at login, I had to a couple of times open the calendar manually to make it load and show it on the map.
As far as reporting about stuff not working, I've always had people say they login and see nothing on their maps, every year, yet every year I use it myself and many others seem to have it work fine, which leaves me to believe there has to be other factors that affect some users but not everyone.
The only recommendation I have is try to login an alt on another realm you don't really play on, you can select to turn off all addons there, but only turn on Candy Buckets and see if it still doesn't work.
Sorry for your poor experience. It's just if older version doesn't work either, the addon doesn't store anything, it only uses the game data to remove icons based on checks against Blizzard if the quest is completed or not, to then hide icons you already visited on that character.
In reply to tikkongalak:
Its probably a good idea to stop for a moment before you post snarky comments to someone providing you with a free add on that they do in their own time for nothing.
Entitled much?
Post glitches,bugs etc. thats useful to the author. throwing your toys out of the pram however is not.
In reply to medusargh1:
OK, then it's probably a good idea to stop for a moment before you post snarky comments to someone that hasn't ended you during their free time.
Entitled much?
DIALMIHF would be useful.
In reply to tikkongalak:
You OK Hun *head tilt*
As Horde, not seeing the Alliance fires in Hinterlands or Arathi (pre-war)
Missing the fire for talador in nagrand, outand 49.76, 69.57
Horde version is showing an Honor the Bonfire in Winterspring at the wrong coordinates. Desecrate one is correct, but the Honor one is placed much further north than it should be. Actual coords should be 58.14, 47.50
The only issue I've observed is not loading properly at login. Do the fires load if you open the calendar manually for you?
Horde Side Location Bugs
NOTE: I need to go through the reported Horde Side bugs and mark off which have been fixed already, after finishing my pass though the Alliance Side I will take another pass through the Horde Side.
Eastern Kingdoms
Addon appears to be showing a non-existent fire festival location in Eversong Woods in the starting area "Sunstrider Isle" Its coming up as quest ID "11863" which is actually "Honor the Flame" in Zangermarsh for the Horde side. For some reason its displaying as a desecrate quest and its appearing in Sunstrider Isle. This appears for me on my Horde character, not sure if it appears like this while on an Alliance character.

Found another inaccuracy on here, this time with Badlands. The Horde Bonfire location, quest ID 11842, is listed right next to where the Alliance one is located which is wrong. Its actually at 23,37 on the map as opposed to the 19, 56 that the mod shows it as.
(Click Spoiler to see Map Image!)
The "Extinguish this Fire!" quests on the Horde side for both Arathi Highlands and Hinterlands are missing.
Arathi Highlands, Quest ID Missing, is located at 44.5, 46
(Click Spoiler to see Map Image!)
Hinterlands, Quest ID Missing, located at 14.5, 50
(Click Spoiler to see Map Image!)
Pandaria
In Krasarang Wilds the bonfire, quest ID 32499, is listed as being located at 74, 9.5 while its actual location is 77.5,3.5.
(Click Spoiler to see Map Image!)
Outlands
Thrallmar in Hellfire Peninsula's bonfire, Quest ID 11851, is slightly off position. The Bonfire Icon is stated as being at 55, 40 when its actually located at 57, 42. Its not MAJOR, its still easy to see where the bonfire is located but its slightly off.
(Click Spoiler to see Map Image!)
Also, not posting an image for this one but at Garadar in Outland's Nagrand, Quest ID 11821, does not disappear when you turn it in.
As far as I can tell, that should be everything on the Horde Side that I have found now that I have 100% finished all the in game bonfires. If I get the time I will check the Alliance Side as well. Sorry I could not provide the quest ID's for the last two, if I can find them I will update my post.
Alliance Side Location Bugs
NOTE: Before doing this I updated Candy Bucket to the latest version at 7:30pm PDT
NOTE 2: I like the new feature for Candy Buckets, showing a message when the location is wrong as well as stating the ID. Cool stuff :D
Eastern Kingdoms
Blasted Lands - Bonfire (Honor) [Quest ID: 11808] - Marker is incorrectly positioned at [58,17] while the actual location is [55.5,15]
(Click Spoiler to see Map Image!)
Swamp of Sorrows - Bonfire (Honor) [Quest ID: 28929] - Marker is incorrectly positioned at [76,14] while the actual location is [70,15.5]
(Click Spoiler to see Map Image!)
Arathi Highlands - Bonfire (Desecrate) [Quest ID: 11732] - Marker is not removed upon completion.
Hinterlands - Bonfire (Desecrate) [Quest ID: 11755] - Marker is not removed upon completion.
Kalimdor
Winterspring - Bonfire (Honor) [Quest ID: 11834] - Marker is incorrectly positioned at [62,35] while the actual location is [61,47]
(Click Spoiler to see Map Image!)
Outlands
Nagrand - Bonfire (Honor) [Quest ID: Unknown] - Marker is missing entirely, position should be [49.5,69.5]
(Click Spoiler to see Map Image!)
Pandaria
Krasarang Wilds - Bonfire (Honor) [Quest ID: 32499] - Still broken as listed above in the Horde side.
Aside from that I have found no other major issues on the Alliance Side. I will note that there were a few locations that were off by 1 or 2 points but they were not off enough to trigger the Addon's message of them being in the wrong location to make mention of them. They were minor stuff like this though if you would like I can go back through and make a list of these ones.
I will re-explore the Horde and Alliance fires after the next update just to double check everything :)

End Notes
Thanks again for the hard work put into this mod and the quick pace at fixing bugs and issues!
In reply to ByucknahTheRed:
Thanks for letting me know. I've updated those two locations. Let me know if you find more.
In reply to Vladinator:
Of course, happy to help :D Thanks for such an awesome addon! Seriously, super helpful!
In reply to ByucknahTheRed:
Thanks for the updates! I will look at them, I can also visit the missing quest IDs on my own character and double check that I get the correct one out. I'll also do the same with the one that doesn't go away, it might reference the wrong quest ID.
When I first made the addon it was hand crafted, only downside was my lack of Horde characters with flying back then so it could be a remnant from those days. I just have not had the time to go over each one manually like the first time to make sure it is all properly updated after the map changes that BfA brought to us. Some of the automatization would explain why some bonfires appeared on the wrong maps/zones.
It is helpful to have someone assist like this. I was also thinking I could try to add a weirdness detection feature. Because with these bonfires, the lunar elders, the candy buckets, one good thing is that it is practically the same NPC or object you interract with everywhere, and it's mostly all open world, I could during these periods when you turn in quests related to these do a database check and see if the map and coordinates match expectations and if something is off generate a easy to copy report with inconsistencies to message me with so I got the data I need to apply quicker hotfixes. I hope I can make this happen as in the future if stuff change it can help add new things I missed quicker.
For some reason the Horde bonfire in Zangarmarsh is not showing for me, but the Garadar one doesn't go away after collecting.
The Krasarang Wilds map location for Honor the Flame is quite a bit off. Actual location is 77.8, 3.4
Dont update if you want the midsummer fires.
Sadly the addon is not showing the icons on my map :(
