To fully enjoy the revelry of Lunar Awakening, travel to Ked Bardu and head to the Northern section of town. Once there you\u2019ll meet Ying-Yue, the leader of the Lunar Night Market.

Lunar Shrines are spread throughout Sanctuary. Fight your way through both dungeons and the wilderness, activating Lunar Shrines and slaying monsters to earn copious amounts of Ancestral Favor Reputation.<\/p>\n
