Darkmoon Faire guide for WoW Forever

The Darkmoon Faire is a travelling carnival that comes to Azeroth one week a month. In WoW Forever it works much like it did in Classic: a strong buff from Sayge, tickets for turn-ins, a 14-slot bag, three frog pets and four decks that turn into epic trinkets.

When	once a month, for one week
Where	Elwynn Forest or Mulgore, in turn
Buff	Sayge, 2 hours, every 4 hours
Best reward	Darkmoon Storage Box, 14 slots, 50 tickets

When and where

The Faire opens on the Monday after the first Saturday of the month and stays a week. The in-game calendar shows the start and end at 04.00 realm time, which is 04.00 Belgian time on European realms. The workers set up the tents a few days before it opens.

Month	Where	Dates
November 2026	Elwynn Forest	9 to 15 November
December 2026	Mulgore	7 to 13 December
January 2027	Elwynn Forest	4 to 10 January
February 2027	Mulgore	8 to 14 February
March 2027	Elwynn Forest	8 to 14 March
April 2027	Mulgore	5 to 11 April

The DMF button in the bar at the top of the site counts down to the next Faire.

• Elwynn Forest: just south of Goldshire, at /way 42 69. Alliance players follow the road from Stormwind. The Horde takes the zeppelin to Stranglethorn Vale and rides north through Duskwood.
• Mulgore: at the foot of the lift to Thunder Bluff, at /way 37 38. The Horde takes the lift down. The Alliance takes the boat from Booty Bay to Ratchet and runs west through The Barrens.

There are no guards at the Faire, but the zone belongs to one faction. On the PvP ruleset, entering it flags you for PvP, so expect fights at the gates.

Sayge’s fortunes

Sayge asks you two questions next to his small tent. Your answers decide the buff. It lasts 2 hours, ends when you die, and you can get a new one only after 4 hours. Most players take 10% damage: the first answer twice.

Answers	Buff	Also works
1 and 1	Sayge’s Dark Fortune of Damage, 10% damage
1 and 2	Sayge’s Dark Fortune of Resistance, 25 to all resistances	2 and 3
1 and 3	Sayge’s Dark Fortune of Armor, 10% armor	4 and 3
2 and 1	Sayge’s Dark Fortune of Spirit, 10% Spirit	4 and 2
2 and 2	Sayge’s Dark Fortune of Intelligence, 10% Intellect	4 and 1
3 and 1	Sayge’s Dark Fortune of Stamina, 10% Stamina
3 and 2	Sayge’s Dark Fortune of Strength, 10% Strength
3 and 3	Sayge’s Dark Fortune of Agility, 10% Agility

World buffs do not work in raids in WoW Forever, only in the open world and in dungeons. The text of the buffs now says so as well. The English texts of every answer are in our post about the first Faire.

With the buff you also get a Darkmoon Faire Fortune. Open it for a numbered fortune. A few of them start the quest Your Fortune Awaits You…, which leads to a chest with a Mysterious Lockbox: food, materials or potions for your level, plus some experience and reputation.

Tickets and turn-ins

Look for the blue question marks around the fairgrounds. Those are repeatable quests that turn items into Darkmoon Prize Tickets. Each step gives 250 reputation with the Darkmoon Faire and stops at a reputation cap, so you work up from the first step to the last. The last step stays open until the end of Exalted.

Frog pets

Pet	How
Wood Frog Box	bought from Flik, limited stock
Tree Frog Box	bought from Flik
Jubling	quest from Morja

Flik is the orc boy who chases a frog around the fairgrounds. Both frog boxes can be traded. He also sells the Heavy Leather Ball.

For the Jubling, buy two Dark Iron Ale Mug from Plugger Spazzring in the Grim Guzzler of Blackrock Depths. Take them to Morja by the wagons and put one mug on the ground next to her. Her frog Jubjub hops to it, and she offers Spawn of Jubjub. Hand in the second mug for an Unhatched Jubling Egg, which hatches after seven days into A Jubling’s Tiny Home. For a short time after the first mug is down, everyone nearby can take the quest.

Darkmoon decks and trinkets

Darkmoon cards drop from enemies of level 45 to 60 across Azeroth. A deck needs the Ace and the cards 2 to 8. The numbered cards drop from humanoids and undead, the Ace from a few set enemies. Cards and decks can be traded; the trinket cannot. Turn the deck in at Professor Thaddeus Paleo.

Deck	Ace drops from	Trinket
Beasts Deck	The Beast in Upper Blackrock Spire	Darkmoon Card: Blue Dragon
Elementals Deck	Avalanchion in Azshara, Hydrospawn in Dire Maul, Lord Incendius in Blackrock Depths, The Windreaver in Silithus	Darkmoon Card: Maelstrom

Mini-games

Two games are just for fun and give no rewards.

• Tonk Control Console: stand at a console on the ground and steer a Steam Tonk for 5 minutes. Fight other tonks with its cannon, plus one extra ability per console, such as a flamethrower, a mine or a shield.
• Blastenheimer 5000 Ultra Cannon: shoots you across the zone with Magic Wings. Cancel the buff to drop, and try to land in the floating ring in the pond. The cannon stands next to the fairgrounds in Elwynn Forest, or on the edge of the Lower Rise in Thunder Bluff.
