A 14-slot bag waits at the Darkmoon Faire

The first Darkmoon Faire of World of Warcraft: Forever is open in Elwynn Forest, next to Goldshire. It stays until Monday 16 November. Sayge hands out a new buff every two hours, and 50 tickets buy a bag with 14 slots.

When the Faire is open

The in-game calendar gives Monday 9 November at 04.00 as the start and Monday 16 November at 04.00 as the end, in realm time. On European realms that is 04.00 Belgian time. The Faire works the way it did in Classic and comes back once a month.

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, for European and American realms.

Sayge’s fortunes

Every two hours, Sayge asks you two questions. Your answers decide the buff you get. Most players take 10% damage, which is the first answer twice.

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

The buff is worth less than in Classic. World buffs do not work in raids in Forever, only in the open world.

Tickets and rewards

Repeatable quests at the Faire give Darkmoon Prize Tickets. You trade them in at Gelvas Grimegate.

Darkmoon Flower	5
Minor Darkmoon Prize	5
Last Month’s Mutton	10
Lesser Darkmoon Prize	12
Greater Darkmoon Prize	40

Darkmoon Storage Box, a bag with 14 slots	50
Last Year’s Mutton	50

In Classic, the Minor prize holds green gear of about level 25, bags with 10 slots and low gems. The Lesser prize goes up to about level 40 and 12 slots, the Greater prize to about level 55 and 16 slots. Whether the bags hold the same in Forever, is not known.

The best turn-ins

The Faire takes four kinds of goods: animal parts, Blacksmithing, Engineering and Leatherworking items. Blacksmithing gives the most tickets. You do every step once, in this order. After the last one, that quest becomes repeatable.

7 Heavy Grinding Stone	4
3 Green Iron Bracers	8
1 Big Black Mace	12
8 Dense Grinding Stone	20
