The Darkmoon Faire offers a variety of rewards, from temporary buffs to exotic pets and mounts. Most of these rewards are purchased with Darkmoon Prize Tickets. As of Patch 7. Using this potion makes your nights darker in-game. These buffs can be useful when leveling up a character, especially since they do not require anything else than going to the Darkmoon Island and talking to Sayge. Unfortunately, these buffs disappear when you enter a dungeon or a raid instance.
Since obtaining these buffs requires you to interact with Sayge in a particular way, a specific section of the guide is dedicated to them. It stacks with other experience and reputation buffs. To ride the carousel and roller coaster, you need a Darkmoon Ride Ticket.
These tickets can be found inside a Ride Ticket Book , which you can buy from the NPC at the entrance of the attraction. A similar buff is given by consuming a Darkmoon Top Hat , which you can buy for 10 from Gelvas Grimegate.
Gelvas Grimegate sells a number of Darkmoon Faire vanity items. Since Patch 6. Since Patch 7. Since Patch 8.

Each set used to correspond to a specific class, and each class had one Dungeon Set 1 and one Dungeon Set 2 remember that, 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 can use all the sets that match the armor type of your class Cloth for Mages, Leather for Rogues, etc. The Darkmoon Deck trinkets are not an integral part of the event and are not, technically speaking, rewards for doing the Darkmoon Faire. These are items that you can obtain after spending either a lot of time or a lot of gold crafting or trading cards until you obtain an entire deck.
Turning in this deck used to be the only step of the process that requires the Darkmoon Faire, but this is no longer the case. There are also 35 achievements related to Darkmoon Racing, which we detail in a specific section. The Darkmoon Faire takes place on Darkmoon Island.
To get there, there are only two portals that you can take. One is located just south of Goldshire in Elwynn Forest and the other one is located just south-west of Thunder Bluff in Mulgore.

Immediately, the Death Metal Knight will appear to disrupt the concert. Killing him gives you a chance to loot a number of things:. During the fight, you will get a score, materialized by a buff: Casual Fan. As you progress during the encounter, your score will increase it is decreased when you get hit by the walls of banshees that move during the encounter and is increased by you damaging the Ghouls and killing the Death Metal Knight.
The buff will become Serious Fan after a score of 75 , then Hardcore Fan after a score of , and finally Number One Fan after a score that we are uncertain of. To get a buff from Sayge , you need to talk to him, at the Darkmoon Faire. At first, he offers you 4 different conversation choices that we numbered from 1 to 4 in descending order. Whatever conversation choice you make, you will have to make a second choice between 3 possibilities that we numbered from 1 to 3 in descending order.
After choosing this second possibility, you will be granted a buff. Below, we have listed the various buffs that he gives and the conversation choices that you must make in order to obtain them.
Note that the same conversation choices will always lead to the same buff. Every month you get a chance to test your strength by completing the Test Your Strength quest given to you by Kerri Hicks in Darkmoon Island.

Each of these quests rewards 5 skill points in the corresponding profession, 1 Darkmoon Game Token required to play the mini-games , 3 Darkmoon Prize Tickets 4 for the main profession quests and reputation with the Darkmoon Faire. If you have done a profession quest before in a previous month , then you will not get it right as the faire begins. Rather, you will have to wait until the 6 AM dungeon reset on Sunday before seeing them. You need a skill of 75 in your profession before being able to obtain the corresponding quest.
If you drop a profession and skill up another profession to 75 before the faire ends, you will be able to do the related monthly-quest. This can be a means to collect Darkmoon Prize Tickets faster. Below, you will find the list of profession skill-up quests. Note that none of them is difficult or complicated, so we will not go beyond listing them. Completing the profession skill-up quests related to your 6 professions 2 main professions and 4 secondary professions will reward you with the Faire Favors achievement.
The most efficient way to collect these tickets is to do the daily quests associated to each of the 8 the races count as 2 mini-games currently available at the Darkmoon Faire more games might be added later on, as several buildings are not finished yet. Each daily quest rewards up to 1 ticket meaning that you can earn up to 8 tickets a day with the daily quests and reputation with the Darkmoon Faire meaning that you can earn 2, reputation a day with the daily quests.
Note that you can do the mini-games over and over again, as long as you have Darkmoon Game Tokens to pay the entry fee. Each of the mini-games require you to pay an entry fee of 1 Darkmoon Game Token.
These can be bought from Zina Sharpworth right at the entrance , Sazz Coincatcher further down the right , and Trixi Sharpworth next to the Deathmatch Arena. The prices are the following:. These tokens can also be obtained by doing the profession skill-up quests though in very limited quantities. In the ring, there are 9 barrels, out of which three types of creatures randomly appear. You must smack them with a hammer by pressing '1' before they disappear. You will be presented with 3 possible types of creatures, all of which are shown in the screenshot on the right:.
If you cannot obtain them in the time alloted by the mini-game, you can simply play again. Your points are carried over from one game to the other. The idea is to climb in a cannon that will fire you off the ground. Then, you initiate the fall by pressing '1'. The objective is to land in a circle off the Darkmoon Faire docks at the southern extremity of the island :. The daily quest requires you to obtain 5 points and you need a precise timing to make it inside the circle. Landing exactly in the middle of the circle is extremely difficult, so many players will require 3 or more attempts to complete the daily quest after an attempt, you can talk to Teleportologist Fozlebub next to the circle, to get back to the cannon.
This game is very sensitive to lag and players who have a varying latency will find it hard to initiate the fall at the right time. In the stand, there are 3 targets. Every few seconds, one gets marked with a green arrow and you need to make your character face it before pressing '1' to fire at it. The daily quest requires you to hit 25 targets. When a target is marked with an arrow, you only have time to hit it twice before it gets unmarked you can also start casting before the arrow appears, but then you need to be really quickly to make your character face the right target when the arrow appears.
Then, you need to wait a few seconds before another target is marked. When no target is marked, you cannot hit anything. Taking all this into account, it is hard to finish the daily quest in only one try. The Tonk Challenge game is associated with the Tonk Commander daily quest.
In the ring, there are targets that you need to hit by making your tank face them before pressing '1'. The objective of the daily quest is to hit 30 such targets and completing it will often require you to play the game several times although it is possible to finish it at the first try.
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 one of them, upon pressing '1'. If the enemy tank is hit, it will most likely start attacking you, in which case you will have to destroy it before it destroys you.
If your tank gets destroyed, you can simply start over; your kill count will not be reset. Note that when targeted by an enemy tank a green arrow will appear on top of your tank , you can hit '2' to use your second ability. This will make your tank sprint for a few seconds, making the enemy tank lose sight of you. The Ring Toss game is associated with the Target: Turtle daily quest. The objective of the daily quest is to land 3 rings on the Darkmoon Turtle that walks inside the arena you need to remain in the stand to be able to toss the rings.
To toss a ring, press '1', target the turtle with the mouse and left-click. Even if you perfectly aimed at the turtle, there is no guarantee that the ring will actually land on the turtle, as the landing location of the rings is somewhat random.
One way to complete the daily quest is to spam rings when the turtle stops moving, hoping to have 3 of them landing properly. The Firebird's Challenge is associated with the Firebird's Challenge daily quest. Starting the game gives you the Wings of Flame buff, which allows you to fly for 10 seconds. If you manage to pass through a fiery ring before the 10 seconds are up, then the buff is refreshed for another 10 seconds.
The objective of the daily quest is to simply pass through 15 fiery rings. If you do not reach the objective in a single game, this is not a problem, you can pay another Darkmoon Game Token to play again and keep going.
You can find the races on both sides of the pier at the faire: the Real Race on the right and the Real Big Race on the left. Both races require you to reach posts around the island in a given order before coming back to the pier.
Before starting a race, you need to select a mount. Currently, there are two mounts available, each with own abilities. Each circuit features power-ups that you can take to help you complete the race faster, banners that grant you a speed boost, trip wires that daze you, and MiniZeps that try to stun you.
Below, you will find screenshots for all of these features. Your time in the races is measured in tolls, which you can hear every 6 seconds approximately, while racing. There are 33 achievements related to your time in each race with each mount. In addition to the racing achievements, which we presented above, the other mini-games enable you to complete 9 achievements:.
The PvA Deathmatch is organised every 3 hours , , and so on at the Deathmatch Ring, the large building located in the south western part of the faire. The Deathmatch is a free for all event that lasts until someone manages to loot the chest in the middle of the ring.
During the event, every other 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 the chest is quite long, 8 seconds, and anyone can easily interrupt you.
This makes it almost mandatory to go there with a group of friends so that they can protect you while you open the chest. To enter, simply click the gate of the Deathmatch Ring, right behind Korgol Crushskull at the entrance of the building. Returning Players New. Realm Status. Recruit A Friend. Content Update Notes.
