Darkmoon Faire Reputation
Reputation
All players begin at 0/3000 Neutral with the Darkmoon Faire. You cannot be "at war" with the Faire. The primary method of increasing reputation with the Darkmoon Faire is by turning items for tickets.
Each turn-in increases Darkmoon Faire reputation by 250, (275 for human characters, with 10% reputation bonus), but once your reputation passes a certain number, you can no longer turn in those items. For example, after gaining 440 reputation with the Darkmoon Faire, you can no longer do the Small Furry Paw turn-in. You will have to move on to the next highest level item. Turn-ins become available as a character advances in level, so it is possible for a low to mid level player to gain enough reputation that he or she can no longer turn in any items until leveling up. The max-level turn-ins will always be available.

Upon gaining reputation partway into Friendly (around 2000, which is 5000 total reputation), turn-ins will no longer provide reputation gains. The quests will be replaced with the "More" version (Thorium Widget will be replaced with Quest:More Thorium Widgets quest for example). These quests reward the same amount of tickets, but zero reputation. Upon hitting this reputation level, the Darkmoon Faire NPCs gossip text changes.
Another method of increasing your reputation past this point is by the quest "The Darkmoon Faire." The Horde and Alliance versions are available to any race of both factions, and are not mutually exclusive, although it will be difficult for an Alliance member to get the Horde quest, and vice versa. This quest is not repeatable, and most players will have done it before hitting this point in their reputation anyway.
The next method of continuing to gain Darkmoon Faire reputation is the quest "Your Fortune Awaits You...". Four of the possible twenty-nine fortunes offered by Sayge start this quest. They have players seek a chest in The Deadmines, The Wailing Caverns, Palemane Rock, or Eastvale Logging Camp. These quests reward 75 reputation each, (as well as the contents of the chest) and they can be repeated, provided you are able to get the fortune again. Because of the long cooldown on Sayge's fortunes, the approximate 14% chance to get one of these fortunes, increasing your reputation in this way is very slow work.
Scribes can create several lesser decks of Darkmoon Cards, such as the Rogues Deck. These items start small quests in which you turn in the deck for a randomly enchanted item and 25 Darkmoon Faire reputation. These quests are repeatable.
The final method is by turning in a major deck of Darkmoon Cards. Each deck increases reputation by 350.
There is no known benefit to gain reputation with the Darkmoon Faire, beyond the discount on the food, drink, special items, and the already cheap beer, although at the reputation level at which turn-ins stop giving reputation, Silas Darkmoon hints at rewards for those who continue to earn reputation.
There are no known new benefits from reaching exalted reputation.
Tips
- The Blacksmith reward turn-in IS properly "Coarse Weightstone".
- Note: There are no "wolves" in the Badlands unless one comes along with a Hunter but the coyotes of various types drop the tails.
- At higher levels, one of the more common drops to farm to get Darkmoon Faire Prize Tickets is Glowing Scorpid Blood. This has an approximately 25% drop rate from the various Stonelash Scorpids in Silithus (which translates to ca. 2,400 kills for 600 Glowing Scorpid Blood), as well as from Scorpids in Blasted Lands and Burning Steppes. You can turn in 10 Glowing Scorpid Blood for 20 Darkmoon Faire Prize Tickets, so with a bit of effort and time you can get enough to obtain the prizes you want.
- The item for the Tier 3 turn-in, 36 Green Fireworks, can be purchased cheaply from vendors during the Midsummer Fire Festival and the Harvest Festival. They only stack 5 high, so you will need eight inventory slots for this turn-in.
