Days of Summer 2018: The new 'Travels' of Yun Zi

August 21, 2018 saw the arrival of a new year of quests and rewards for the Days of Summer questline that was introduced in 2017. Membership is required for this questline. For those not familiar with this questline, Yun'Zi is a panda who loves the thought of exploring far more than he loves actually doing the exploring himself, and he's more than willing to gift you with baubles and such if you will explore for him, and then return to tell him tales of what you saw.

For the 9 weeks following the release of the new line, a new quest will unlock each week (each Monday night at midnight Pacific again). Once a quest has been unlocked, if can be done once per account, at any time, as long as you do the quests in sequence. This means that if you "miss" a week or more, you can do them later on.

To start the questline, you will need to speak with "Yun Zi", a hua'mein that is located near the wizard spires in Sundered Frontier (/way 2294, -199, 2504). He will offer you a quest, tell you what zone/region he wants you to explore, and leave it to you to figure out what landmarks he wants you to visit.

The Rewards

Items can be "purchased" at Pas'Yu, the vendor standing beside Yun'Zi, after you have completed the appropriate week's quest. New items other than the furniture packs and the house will require level 110 to purchase. Screenshots can be found here.

One thing to note as we progress through week 2: the Divine Crit Bonus and the Divine Stamina grants currently have the wrong examine info and state that they grant potency. They actually grant crit bonus and stamina, respectively, just as their names imply. The typo in their examine text has been noted and will be fixed.
