Orb of the DarkmoonThe Darkmoon Faire is in WoW Forever and it works almost the same as in Classic. It comes once a month for a week, alternating between Elwynn Forest and Mulgore. You can get a 2-hour stat buff from Sayge, trade materials for tickets and turn in Darkmoon decks for epic trinkets.
The schedule and activities come from a community guide written for Forever. Item details such as bag size come from the Forever game files (build 1.60.1.70790).
When is the Darkmoon Faire?
- Opens: the Monday after the first Saturday of each month.
- Closes: the following Sunday.
- The tents go up a couple of days before it opens.
| Month | Dates |
|---|---|
| November 2026 | Mon 9 – Sun 15 November |
| December 2026 | Mon 7 – Sun 13 December |
| January 2027 | Mon 4 – Sun 10 January |
These dates follow the rule above. Blizzard can change them, so check the in-game calendar. It shows both the dates and the location.
Where is the Darkmoon Faire?
It switches location every time it opens.
| Location | Where | Easy for |
|---|---|---|
| Elwynn Forest | Just south of Goldshire, about 42, 69 | Alliance (road south from Stormwind) |
| Mulgore | Near the main Thunder Bluff elevator, about 37, 38 | Horde (take the elevator down) |
Horde going to Elwynn: take the zeppelin to Grom’gol (from Orgrimmar or Undercity) or the boat from Ratchet to Booty Bay. Then run north through Stranglethorn Vale and Duskwood.
Alliance going to Mulgore: take the boat from Booty Bay to Ratchet and run west across The Barrens.
There are no guards stopping the other faction, but on a PvP realm you will be flagged in enemy territory.
Sayge’s Dark Fortunes (world buffs)
Talk to Sayge and answer his questions to get one buff. Each buff lasts 2 hours, is lost on death, and you can get a new one every 4 hours. In Forever these world buffs do not work inside raids.
| Buff | Effect | Answers |
|---|---|---|
| Dark Fortune of Damage | +10% damage | 1, 1 |
| Dark Fortune of Resistance | +25 all resistances | 1, 2 or 2, 3 |
| Dark Fortune of Armor | +10% armor | 1, 3 or 4, 3 |
| Dark Fortune of Spirit | +10% Spirit | 2, 1 or 4, 2 |
| Dark Fortune of Intelligence | +10% Intellect | 2, 2 or 4, 1 |
| Dark Fortune of Stamina | +10% Stamina | 3, 1 |
| Dark Fortune of Strength | +10% Strength | 3, 2 |
| Dark Fortune of Agility | +10% Agility | 3, 3 |
You also get a Darkmoon Faire Fortune. Some fortunes start a short quest that leads to a treasure chest.
Tickets and rewards
Turn in crafted items and beast drops to the NPCs with blue question marks to earn Darkmoon Prize Tickets and Darkmoon Faire reputation. Spend the tickets at Gelvas Grimegate.
| Reward | Cost |
|---|---|
| Darkmoon Flower (off-hand) | 5 tickets |
| Minor Darkmoon Prize (level 21–25 gear or a 10-slot bag) | 5 tickets |
| Lesser Darkmoon Prize (level 31–35 gear, gems or a 12-slot bag) | 12 tickets |
| Greater Darkmoon Prize (level 46–50 gear, gems or recipes) | 40 tickets |
| Schematic: Steam Tonk Controller | 40 tickets |
| Darkmoon Storage Box (14-slot bag, unique) | 50 tickets |
| Amulet of the Darkmoon / Orb of the Darkmoon (level 60 necks) | 1200 tickets |
The Storage Box is the pick for most players. 14 slots is more than almost any bag you can get at this point.
Darkmoon decks and trinkets
Darkmoon cards drop from level 45–60 humanoids and undead. The Aces drop from specific bosses. Collect the Ace and cards 2 to 8 to make a deck, then hand it to Professor Thaddeus Paleo at the Faire for an epic trinket. Cards and decks are Bind on Equip, so you can buy them. The trinkets are Bind on Pickup.
| Deck | Trinket |
|---|---|
| Beasts | Darkmoon Card: Blue Dragon |
| Elementals | Darkmoon Card: Maelstrom |
| Portals | Darkmoon Card: Twisting Nether |
| Warlords | Darkmoon Card: Heroism |
Other things to do
- Frog pets: Flik sells the Wood Frog and Tree Frog. The Jubling comes from a hidden quest with Morja that needs two Dark Iron Ale Mugs from Blackrock Depths.
- Tonk battles: use a Tonk Control Console to drive a Steam Tonk for 5 minutes.
- Blastenheimer 5000 Ultra Cannon: shoot yourself across the zone and try to land in the ring in the pond.
- Reputation: Darkmoon reputation only lowers vendor prices at the Faire. In Forever, the Diplomat perk in the Legacy system increases these reputation gains.
What is not confirmed yet
- Which location is first. We have not seen an official list of which month goes to Elwynn and which to Mulgore. Check the in-game calendar.
- Dates after December. The January dates above follow the usual rule and are not announced by Blizzard.
- Darkmoon card numbers. The game files contain two versions of each Darkmoon trinket with different values, and we do not know which one is live.
