The Darkmoon Faire has been entirely revamped following therelease of Patch 4.3. The event now has its own location, the Darkmoon Island,and offers more rewards than before. As its name indicates, the event is a faire during which you will be givenmini-games to play and various other tasks to complete. 1. Overview↑topThe main matter of the Darkmoon Faire is the mini-games that manywill probably do every day in order to gather enough tickets topurchase the rewards that they want. There are so many differentrewards, that everyone should find a reason to participate inthe faire. In addition to the mini-games, the faire offers other, lessefficient means to collect tickets and increase your reputationwith the Darkmoon Faire, such as:
We will detail them all in this guide. 1.1. CurrencyThe currency of the Darkmoon Faire is the 1.2. Date and TimelineThe Darkmoon Faire is a monthly event. It always lasts exactly 1 weekand starts one minute after midnight on the first Sunday of every month. Every month, you will be able to earn at most 145 For players interested in reaching exaltedstanding with the Darkmoon Faire, this should take about 5 months, fromneutral. 1.3. LocationThe Darkmoon Faire is located on Darkmoon Island, where you will be able toteleport when the faire is running. Below, you will find a detailed mapof the surrounding of the faire and indications as to where the relevantNPCs are located.  2. Rewards↑topThe Darkmoon Faire offers a variety of rewards, from temporary buffs toexotic pets and mounts. Most of these rewards are purchased with 2.1. Sayge's BuffsSayge is a Darkmoon Faire NPC who provides you with varioustemporary buffs (such as +10% Intellect). These buffs can be usefulwhen leveling up a character, especially since they do not requireanything else than going the Darkmoon Island and talking to Sayge.Unfortunately, these buffs disappear when you enter a dungeonor a raid instance. Since obtaining these buffs requires you to interact with Saygein a particular way, a specific section of the guide is dedicatedto them. 2.2. WHEE! Buff: +10% Reputation and Experienced GainedThe Darkmoon Carousel (a few dozen yards on the right as you enter the faire)will grant you To ride the carousel, you need a 2.3.

Item Sets Replicas for TransmogrificationBarum and Baruma sell replicas for the Dungeon Sets 1 and 2 thathave been removed from the game when Cataclysm was released. Wrists, Hands, Waist,and Feet items cost 55 Each set used to correspond to a specific class,and each class had one Dungeon Set 1 and one Dungeon Set 2 (rememberthat, at the time, Death Knights had not yet been introduced to the game).The class restrictions do not exist for the replica armor sets, so you canuse all the sets that match the armor type of your class (Cloth for Mages,Leather for Rogues, etc.).
2.8. Darkmoon CardsThe Darkmoon Card trinkets are not an integral part of the event and arenot, technically speaking, rewards for doing the Darkmoon Faire. These are itemsthat you can obtain after spending either a lot of time or a lot ofgold crafting or trading cards until you obtain an entire deck. Turningin this deck is the only step of the process that requires the DarkmoonFaire, as the NPC that gives Darkmoon Cards in exchange for the decksis located on Darkmoon Island (an area only accessible during theDarkmoon Faire). The item level 476 Darkmoon Cards are the following:
There are also even older cards, from past expansions, which we chose notto mention here. 2.9. AchievementsThe following 10 achievements are related to the Darkmoon Faire:
Note that there is no meta-achievement or title related to the Darkmoon Faire. 2.10. Fishing in Wreckage PoolsBy using 3. Getting to the Darkmoon Faire↑topThe Darkmoon Faire takes place on Darkmoon Island. To get there, there areonly two portals that you can take. One is located just south of Goldshire inElwynn Forest and the other one is located just south-west ofThunder Bluff in Mulgore. Darkmoon Faire Mystic Mages (Alliance/Horde) are present in every major city andfor 30 3.1. Darkmoon Faire Mystic MagesWhen the Darkmoon Faire is running, you will find Darkmoon Faire Mystic Mages (Alliance/Horde)at the following locations.
3.2. First TimersIf you have never been to Darmoon Island before, you should talk tothe nearest Darkmoon Faire Mystic Mage (Alliance/Horde) in order to be given theThe Darkmoon Faire (Alliance/Horde) quest. Completing this quest will give you a As soon as you teleport to Darkmoon Island for the first time, you will be rewarded with the 4. Obtaining Sayge's Buffs↑topTo get a buff from Sayge, you need to talk to him, at the Darkmoon Faire. At first, he offers you4 different conversation choices that we numbered from 1 to 4 indescending order. Whatever conversation choice you make, you willhave to make a second choice between 3 possibilities that we numberedfrom 1 to 3 in descending order. After choosing this secondpossibility, you will be granted a buff. Below, we have listed the various buffs that he gives and theconversation choices that you must make in order to obtainthem. Note that the same conversation choices will always leadto the same buff.
After obtaining a buff, you cannot talk to him again before a fewhours have passed. 5. Testing Your Strength↑topEvery month you get a chance to test your strength bycompleting the Test Your Strength quest given to you by Kerri Hicksin Darkmoon Island. Completing this quest requires you to kill 250 creatures that offer experienceor honor (while being in possession of the 6. Profession Skill-ups↑topEvery month, you can do the 6 profession skill-up quests (for your 2 mainprofessions and 4 secondary professions, even if they are maxed out).Each of these quests rewards5 skill points in the corresponding profession, 1 If you have done a profession quest before (in a previous month), then you will notget it right as the faire begins. Rather, you will have to wait until the6 AM dungeon reset on Sunday before seeing them. You need a skill of 75 in your profession before being able to obtainthe corresponding quest. If you drop a profession and skill up anotherprofession to 75 before the faire ends, you will be able to dothe related monthly-quest. This can be a means to collect Below, you will find the list of profession skill-up quests. Note that noneof them is difficult or complicated, so we will not go beyond listing them.
The quests for Alchemy, Archeology, Cooking, Inscription, Leatherworking,and Tailoring will require you to wander outside Darkmoon Island. 6.1. AchievementCompleting the profession skill-up quests related to your 6 professions(2 main professions and 4 secondary professions) will reward you with the 7. Mini Games↑topMost of the Darkmoon Faire rewards are bought with Each daily quest rewards 1 tickets (meaning that you can earn 5 tickets a daywith the daily quests) and 250 reputation with the Darkmoon Faire (meaning thatyou can earn 1,250 reputation a day with the daily quests). Note that you can do the mini-games over and over again, as long as you have 7.1. Darkmoon Game TokensEach of the mini-games require you to pay an entry fee of 1
These tokens can also be obtained by doing the profession skill-up quests (though in very limited quantities). 7.2. Whack-a-Gnoll!
30 points are needed to complete the daily quest. If you cannot obtain themin the time alloted by the mini-game, you can simply play again. Your points arecarried over from one game to the other. 7.3. The Darkmoon Cannon!
The daily quest requires you to obtain 5 points and you need a precise timingto make it inside the circle. Landing exactly in the middle of the circle isextremely difficult, so many players will require 3 or more attempts to completethe daily quest (after an attempt, you can talk to Teleportologist Fozlebubnext to the circle, to get back to the cannon). This game is very sensitive to lag and players who have a varying latencywill find it hard to initiate the fall at the right time. 7.4. Shooting Gallery! The daily quest requires you to hit 25 targets. When a target is marked,you only have time to hit it twice before it gets unmarked. Then, you needto wait a few seconds before another target is marked. When no target ismarked, you cannot hit anything. Taking all this into account, it is hardto finish the daily quest in only one try. 7.5. Tonk Challenge! You need to be aware of the fact that there will be enemy tanks in the ring.You hit them in the same way that you hit the targets, by facing them and pressing'1'. When you are facing both an enemy tank and a target, you will random hit oneof them, upon pressing '1'. If the enemy tank is hit, it will most likely startattacking you, in which case you will have to destroy it before it destroysyou. If your tank gets destroyed, you can simply start over; your kill count willnot be reset. Note that when targeted by an enemy tank (a green arrow will appear on topof your tank), you can hit '2' to use your second ability. This will make yourtank sprint for a few seconds, making the enemy tank lose sight of you. 7.6. Ring Toss! Even if you perfectly aimed at the turtle, there is no guaranteethat the ring will actually land on the turtle, as the landing location of therings is somewhat random. One way to complete the daily quest is to spamrings when the turtle stops moving, hoping to have 3 of them landing properly. 7.7. AchievementsThe mini-games enable you to complete 3 achievements:
8. PvA Deathmatch↑topThe PvA Deathmatch is organised every 3 hours (00:00, 03:00, and so on)at the Deathmatch Ring, the large building located in the south western partof the faire. The Deathmatch is a free for all event that lasts until someonemanages to loot the chest in the middle of the ring. During the event, everyother player is your enemy and can attack you, whether they are Alliance or Horde.Only players in your own party will show as friendly. The cast for opening thechest is quite long, 8 seconds, and anyone can easily interrupt you. This makesit almost mandatory to go there with a group of friends so that they can protectyou while you open the chest. To enter, simply click the gate of the Deathmatch Ring, right behindKorgol Crushskull at the entrance of the building. Looting the chest rewards you with 8.1. AchievementsWinning the PvA Deathmatch will reward you with the 9. Artifacts↑topThanks to your Note that artifacts can be traded between players and on the Auction House. The only constraint when turning in artifacts is that you can only turn them inonce per Darkmoon Faire. This means that you can turn all 9 artifacts during a DarkmoonFaire, and then again at the next Darkmoon Faire, and so on. The 9 artifacts are:
9.1. AchievementsCollecting all 5 dungeon artifacts will grant you the Collecting all 3 battleground artifacts will grant you the Collecting all the artifacts will grant you the 10. Obtaining Darkmoon Cards↑topThe Darkmoon Cards are not an integral part of the event. These trinkets areobtained after a crafting (Inscription only) and trading process that can belong or costly, depending on whether you decide to gather the materials andcraft the items yourself. Only the last step requires the Darkmoon Faire to be up, so that youcan trade what you have created for one of the Darkmoon Cards. Cards from Cataclysm and before can still be obtained, but we will not detailthem here, the process for obtaining them being exactly the same (albeit withdifferent Inscription spells) as with the current cards. These current cardsare:
To obtain these cards, you first need to craft or buy cards until you havea complete set of 8 cards. Once you have a complete set, you can exchangeit with the corresponding Darkmoon Card when the Darkmoon Faire is running. Theprocess of completing the set involves quite a bit of randomness and this is why youoften see people trading cards in chat to complete their sets. There are 4 sets of cards (Serpents, Cranes, Oxen, and Tigers) each of thembeing made of 8 cards (Ace to Eight). These cards are created by twoInscription abilities: Once you have a complete set, you simply need to right-click one of the cardsto create an item that will start a new quest that can only be turned induring the Darkmoon Faire and the reward of which is one of the Darkmoon Cards:
Note that each of these quests also gives 350 reputation with the Darkmoon Faire. Turningolder decks only rewards 25 reputation. 11. Reputation Grind↑topEvery month, you can gain 11,750 reputation with the Darkmoon Faire bydoing the core activities. This means that you will need 4 Darkmoon Faires(or 4 months) to grind your way to exalted,from neutral (possibly only 3, if you are a Human).We consider the following to be the core activities:
Note that by doing the daily quests as soon as the Darkmoon Faire is up,and before the daily quest reset, you can do them 8 times per Darkmoon Faire(instead of only 7 times). Finally, turning in decks of cards for obtaining Darkmoon Card trinketswill always reward 350 reputation. Keep in mind that grinding reputation thisway will cost you quite a bit of gold. Mini-games and the professionskill-up quests continue awarding reputation all the way to exalted. Winning the PvA Deathmatch rewards noreputation with the Darkmoon Faire. 12.
