A bonus event only exists while its keyflame is lit
Eight large keyflames stand in the north-eastern part of Hallowfall, each with its own bonus event. The event does not exist while the flame is out.
Lighting one is a shared effort: players collectively contribute up to 20 Radiant Remnants to restore it for twenty minutes, or one Massive Remnant restores it for thirty. Massive Remnants drop from the roaming rare Radiant-Twisted Mycelium.
Twenty minutes is not long. If you cannot finish an event before its flame goes out, you have to light it again, so light the flame first and then start the event rather than the other way round.
This is level 80 content. A lower character can stand at the flame and contribute but will not be doing the event.
The events have a weekly lockout
Once you have completed a bonus event, that is it for the week. There is no reason to relight its flame again unless you are helping other people, and the rare that spawns when a flame goes out is on a weekly reputation lockout too.
So the routine is the same as everything else in Hallowfall: go on reset day, work through the flames you still need, and leave the rest until next week.
To see which of the eight you still need without opening the achievement pane every time, one player published a macro that prints the outstanding ones:
/run a=C_QuestLog;b=40311;for c=1,GetAchievementNumCriteria(b)do d=select(8,GetAchievementCriteriaInfo(b,c))if not a.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(d)then QuestEventListener:AddCallback(d,function()print(format("%s (%d)",a.GetTitleForQuestID(d),d))end)end endTwo that give people trouble
Bleak Sand is the hardest to solo. It is doable with small, careful pulls just south-east of its flame. Stay inside the event area while you fight: players have cleared it and got no credit because they kited enemies out of range.
The Midnight Sentry has a long-standing report of not crediting. Players have triggered the keyflame, tagged Duskshadow first, taken the loot, and still had the criterion stay grey across several weeks and several characters. If it happens to you it is not something you did wrong, and there is no known workaround beyond trying again.
Where it fits
One of the pieces of You Xal Not Pass, which rewards the Shadow of Doubt mount and is part of Worldsoul-Searching, the War Within meta. The Remnants you spend lighting these flames also count towards Igniting the Keyflames.
