See I have these 110 blossoms sitting on my toon... and I wan't to know if I can spend them on some sausage and use them over the next few weeks. I know some stuff lasts a while but I am nervous about it since I cannot get back the blossoms and I really want the sausage. Why did you guys take away the durations? Is there anyway for me to know when your going to take them away from me or is it just going to be random?

As far as I am aware our Developers have been moving towards items that disappear as soon as the event is over. Items with durations would seem extremely resource intensive and getting rid of a duration may help improve overall latency and stability during holiday events. If you think about how such an item would work you can only really imagine how many resources keeping track of thousands upon thousands of stacks of food/drink all with different expiration times might take.

I believe consumable items associated with the Fire Festival will disappear once the event is over. I'll try to get confirmation on that tomorrow but that seems to be the way these things are working now.
