The Lunar Festival Armor is the latest in a series ofholiday-themed Dragonriding customizationsWorld of Warcrafthas added in recent history, with cosmetics based on Brewfest, the Day of the Dead, and even Pirate’s Day coming to the game over the past year. While some of these items were obtained by chance as drop rates from time-limited holiday encounters, others were bought with gold instead, similar to the Lunar Festival Armor.

February is a big month for holiday events inWorld of Warcraft. Love is in the Air, the in-game equivalent to Valentine’s Day, runs from February 5 through 19, meaning the two holidays are taking place nearly concurrently. This holiday event is getting a major refresh, so fans can expect new rewards, achievements, and activities as a part of it. To get ready for the romantic holiday, players can also work towards completing their Adventurer’s Log tasks to obtain the Love Witch’s Attire, or they can purchase theTwilight Witch’s Attire from theWorld of Warcraftcash shop.
