Mooncakes
The first thing you need to know about the event is its special currency, Mooncakes. You can’t buy them — you can only earn them by completing Moon Missions, one by one. Another way to procure the event’s currency is by acquiring special bundles in the Premium Shop that feature Mooncakes as free bonuses.
What’s the point of collecting Mooncakes? Well, that’s simple:
- To unlock Moon Levels (Personal Progress)
- To exchange them for goodies in Moon packages, which feature:

- Consumables

- And finally, to move through Chapters (Story Progress) and reveal the whole story behind the festival
Personal Progress
Personal Progress will run from September 16 through September 27 and will consist of 5 Moon Levels. All you need to do is:
- Earn Mooncakes by completing Moon Missions, or purchasing special bundles with in-game content that feature Mooncakes as free bonuses.
- Move through Moon Levels using Mooncakes. These Levels will be opened sequentially, from the first to the fifth, and are not bound to any specific date.
Unlocking Levels will reward you with valuable in-game items:
- 100%-trained universal crew member with Repair as ‘zero perk’ and enough experience for an extra skill or perk
- Customization Options:

| Chinese Dragon Emblem | "Chinese Ceramics" 2D Style | Dragon 3 Decal |

- A day of WoT Premium Account
- A Garage slot
- A variety of Personal Reserves
- And more!
After the completion of all Moon Missions, you will receive more than enough Mooncakes to unlock all Moon Levels and get your hands on each and every reward. Should the number of Mooncakes you have gathered not be enough to get the rewards you want, you will be able to get more of them within the special bundles in the Premium Shop.
Story Progress
This is the most intriguing part of the event where all players will need to unite in their efforts to unlock all 5 Chapters and reveal the full story, while receiving extra Mooncakes along the way. The Story Progress will last only 5 days — 1 day per Chapter — and will run from September 16 till September 21. The mechanics are simple: players must collect a certain number of Mooncakes during a given Chapter (24 hours) by completing Moon Missions or acquiring Mooncakes from the special bundles in the Premium Shop. Once done, they all receive the Chapter reward (which is 3 Mooncakes) and gain access to the next Chapter.
Once you have successfully completed all five Stages of Story Progress, you'll receive a x5 XP multiplier for the first victory of the day from September 23 through September 26 in any vehicle.
Note that the rewards for the Story Progress will only be granted to those who have contributed Mooncakes during any of the Chapters. The silver lining is that even the minimum contribution will bring you every reward from every Chapter!
To redeem the rewards you are entitled to, you need to head to the relevant Chapter tab on the website, find the ‘GET THE REWARDS’ button in the Story Progress section and click it. The Story Progress rewards that haven’t been redeemed before the end of the last Chapter, will be awarded to your account the next day (September 22).
