Midsummer Fire Festival

The Midsummer Festival is here again, and it's a bit more interesting than in previous years. There are a bunch of quests in the capital cities, and at bonfires outside every town, that give a decent amount of gold. The most interesting thing, though, is the summonable boss Lord Ahune, in the Slave Pens.

He's like the Headless Horseman in that he can be summoned once per day per character, so a 5 player group can kill him 5 times a day. In normal mode he drops 4 different epic capes, one each for attack power, spell damage, tanking and healing. They are the same as old cloaks that can be bought for 25 badges. He also can drop an epic spelldamage staff, a non-combat fire elemental pet and the new deathfrost enchant (the effect is similar to thunderclap). In heroic mode he drops the same items, plus 4 neckpieces.

The fight sounds similar to Ragnaros - he submerges after a while, and there are waves of adds. It sounds like a lot of fun, and it might be worth farming him...

The Festival goes until July 4th.

EDIT: bad pugs are bad

EDIT 2: Turns out it's more like Curator than Ragnaros. Kill waves of adds and ignore the boss, then kill the boss when he retreats into his shell, repeat. Also, the first time you kill him you get a tabard as a reward.
