Darkmoon Faire Reputation & Fair Schedule & Tips

The Darkmoon Faire showcases the weird and the extraordinary. This traveling fair is often spotted in Elwynn Forest, Mulgore, and Terokkar Forest.

A gathering of the exotic from around the world and beyond, Silas Darkmoon has brought together the Darkmoon Faire as a celebration of the wonders and mysteries found in Azeroth. While the Faire spends most of its time in parts unknown, they do stop from time to time in Mulgore, Elwynn Forest, and Terokkar Forest. When the faire is on its way, barkers will stop by Orgrimmar, Ironforge, and Shattrath City to announce its arrival.

Description

The Darkmoon Faire is an event that appears in the game (starting from Patch 1.6). The location of the Faire circulates among three locations starting on the first Friday of each month.

The first location of the Faire is in the Eastern Kingdoms in a field in Elwynn Forest (south of Goldshire); The second location is in Kalimdor, it sets up in Mulgore at the base of Thunder Bluff; The final location is in Outland just south of Shattrath City in Terokkar Forest. Setup takes the carnies three days, and the Faire officially starts early that Monday.

Once it is complete, the Faire will remain there for one week. The following month it will appear in the next location.

Heralds in Ironforge, Orgrimmar and Shattrath City will announce the arrival of the Faire.

The Faire itself is neutral and can be visited by players of either faction regardless of which location it is at. However on a PvP server, while it is in the other faction's area, since you are always flagged PvP-enabled, be cautious as enemy players will be able to attack you at any time. On a PvE server, the Horde players should be aware that the Alliance guards in Goldshire are not far from the Faire and can aggro on you, especially in the north part of the Faire. For Alliance players, the Faire in Mulgore has no Horde guards nearby.

Players can earn tickets by gathering trade goods for Darkmoon Faire's vendors, which can then be turned in for items and special equipment.
Strange sets of cards have been broken up and scattered across Azeroth. Players who are lucky enough to collect a complete set of these cards can turn them in at the faire to receive epic items.
Cheap booze. 'Nuff said.
Enjoy the opportunity to destroy your friends and foes in small, Dwarven made Tonks with four abilities: Cannon, Mortar, Drop Mine, and Nitrous Boost.
