Darkmoon Faire is an in-game event during which you can participate in mini-games and complete various tasks.
Compared to Draenor, the fair remained almost unchanged. New Darkmoon accessories have been added, and Professor Thaddeus Paleo sells tier 2 and 3 inscription recipes that reduce the amount of materials needed to craft Darkmoon cards.
1. General information
The core of the Darkmoon Faire are mini-games that reward you with currency to purchase various rewards. These rewards are so varied that any player will surely find time to visit the fair.
In addition to mini-games, there are other, less effective ways to collect currency and level up reputation at the fair, for example:

In one month you can get 145. This is enough to buy one good reward. There are quite a lot of good rewards, so you will have to attend the fair for several months.
Players who want to level up their reputation with the fair faction will need about 5 months (starting with Indifference).

4. Receiving effects from Vorzhey
To get a beneficial effect from the Vorja, you need to talk to him.
In the first dialogue with Vorzhey there will be 4 points (numbered from 1 to 4). Regardless of your choice, the second dialogue will have 3 items (numbered 1 to 3). After the second dialogue you will get the effect.
Below are various effects indicating the order in which items are selected in the dialogs. The same points always give the same effect.
- Warjay's Dark Lot - armor: 1-3 or 4-3
- Warjay's Dark Lot - Reason: 2-2 or 4-1
- Warjay's Dark Lot - Resistance: 1-2 or 2-3
- Warjay's Dark Lot - Spirit: 2-1 or 4-2
Once you receive the effect, you will not be able to talk to Warjay for several hours.
5. Test your strength
Each month you can test your strength by completing the Test Your Strength challenge given by Kerry Hicks.
To do this, you need to kill 250 creatures that give experience or honor. At the same time, you should have the Darkmoon Faire Guide in your bag. The reward is 10 Darkmoon Prize Coupon
6. Leveling up your profession
Every month you will be able to complete professional tasks (2 tasks for main professions and 4 tasks for secondary professions), even if you have already reached the maximum skill level. The reward for each task is 5 skill points, 1 Darkmoon Token, which is required for mini-games, 3-4 Darkmoon Prize Coupon and 250 units. reputation with the fair.
If you completed a task in the previous month, a new one will be available at the beginning of a new day (10-00 Moscow time), and not immediately after the opening of the fair.
Tasks are issued to characters who have leveled up their profession skill to at least 75. If during the fair you reset your profession and level up a new skill to 75, you will be able to complete a second professional task corresponding to the new profession. This trick can be used to quickly obtain the Darkmoon Prize Ticket.
Below is a list of all available tasks. All of them are extremely simple, so we will not dwell on their implementation.
- Gathering professions
- Herbalism: Healing Herbs
- Mining: Reuse and Recycle
- Skinning: Scrape the skins
- Non-collective professions
- Alchemy: Bubble Cocktail
- Blacksmithing: Baby needs new horseshoes

Alchemy, Archaeology, Cooking, Inscription, Leatherworking, and Tailoring quests will require you to leave the island.
6.1. Achievement
Completing 6 professional tasks will reward you with the Help at the Fair achievement.
7. Mini-games
For the most part, Darkmoon rewards are purchased using the Darkmoon Prize Ticket. To receive coupons, you must complete daily tasks related to mini-games. There are currently 8 mini-games in the fair, including two types of races. Perhaps there will be more games in the future, because... some fair buildings have not yet been completed.
Each daily task gives 1 coupon (maximum 8 coupons per day) and 250 food. reputation with the fair (maximum 2000 reputation units per day).
Although you can participate in mini-games endlessly, you will have to pay a Darkmoon Token each time you do so.
7.1. Darkmoon Tokens
To participate in the game, 1 Darkmoon Token is required. Tokens can be purchased from Zina Muhletzenniker (right at the entrance), Sazz Moneygrab (center right), and Trixie Muhletzenniker (next to the arena). The prices are as follows:
- Bag of Tokens: 5 tokens for 60 silver;
- Bag of Tokens: 20 tokens for 1 gold and 92 silver (cheaper).
Tokens can also be obtained as a reward for completing professional tasks (in limited quantities).
7.2. Gnollop
This game is related to the daily quest of the same name (Gnollop). There are 9 barrels on the playing area, in which three types of creatures randomly appear. The player must attack the creatures by hitting them with the hammer (key 1) before they disappear. The screenshot shows three types of creatures:
- hitting a small gnoll in a bonnet will cause you to be stunned for a few seconds and not score any points;
- hitting a medium gnoll will give you 1 point;
- hitting a large gnoll will give you 3 points.
To complete the task you need to score 30 points. If you fail to score the required number of points at one time, be aware that points are not reset when leaving the playing field, and simply play again.
7.3. Darkmoon Cannon
Firing the Darkmoon Cannon is associated with the Cannon Man daily quest. The player must climb into the cannon, which will shoot them into the air. After this, he needs to press key 1 in time to fall into the right place, marked by a circle on the water in the fair docks (in the south of the island):
- If you land outside the circle, you will be stunned for a few seconds and will not receive any points;
- landing closer to the outer edge of the circle will give you 1 point;
- landing closer to the center of the circle will give you 3 points;
- Landing exactly in the center will give you 5 points (and the Sniper Demolitionist achievement).
To complete a daily task you need to score 5 points, i.e. It is enough to land once in the center. This is quite difficult, so many players need 2-3 attempts. After an unsuccessful attempt, you can talk to Teleportologist Fotzlebulb, and he will transport you back to the cannon.
This mini-game is very demanding on the quality of the connection, so players with a long delay keep falling by.
7.4. Shooting Range
In the fair shooting range you can complete the daily task Bullseye! . There are 3 targets on the wall of the shooting range. Every few seconds one of them is marked with a green arrow. The player must face the target and press the 1 key before the arrow goes out.
To complete the task you need to hit 25 targets. While the arrow above the target is lit, you can shoot twice, thereby earning 2 points. You can also try to guess which target will light up next and initiate the shot early, but if you don't guess correctly, you'll have to turn very quickly towards the active target. The targets are activated at intervals of several seconds. If the arrow is not lit, you cannot shoot. With that said, it usually takes several attempts to complete the task.
7.5. Tank battles
Tank battles are associated with the daily task Tank Commander. There are targets in the mission area that you need to hit by facing them and pressing the 1 key. The goal is to hit 30 targets. This can be done the first time, but most players require several tries.
It is also necessary to remember that there are enemy tanks on the field. They can be killed in the same way as normal targets (by facing them and pressing 1). If there is an enemy tank and the main target in front of you, you can hit them at the same time. A hit enemy tank will most likely attack you. Destroy him faster than he can destroy you! If your tank breaks down, start the game over and remember that leaving the playing field does not reset the counter.
If you become a target for an enemy tank, i.e. An arrow has appeared above your tank, press key 2. This will speed up your tank a little and the enemy will not be able to hit it.
7.6. Ring throwing
Daily Quest Objective: Turtle is designed for those who love ring throwing. The goal is to string 3 rings onto a pole attached to the turtle's shell. In this case, the turtle is in the arena, and the player must stand outside it. To throw a ring, press 1, aim at the turtle and press the left mouse button.
Even if you aim very precisely, there is no guarantee that the ring will hit its target. This is due to the mechanics of the mini-game. Thus, we recommend waiting for the turtle to stop and then throwing all the rings at it and hoping for luck.
7.7. Summon Firewing
Summon the Firewing is another daily quest for the Darkmoon Faire. At the beginning of the game, you receive the Wings of Fire effect, which allows you to fly for 10 seconds. If during this time you fly through the ring, the effect will be updated. The goal of the task is to collect 15 fire rings. If you fail to do this in one flight, give Ziggy the Spark another Darkmoon Faire Token and continue playing.
7.8. Race
The starting lines for the races are on either side of the fair pier. The Cool Race is on the right, and the Big Cool Race is on the left.
- The administrator of Cool Race is named Mally Earnhardt. Contact her to take on the quest Welcome to the Darkmoon Races and get your first taste of the race. After this, you will be able to complete the Cool Race task and receive a daily reward. If one race isn't enough for you, do Let's Race! .
- The administrator of the Big Cool Race is named Patty Workers. Contact her to take on the daily quest Big Steep Race. If one race isn't enough for you, do More Cool Races! .
To successfully participate in the race, you need to run around the island through checkpoints and then return to the pier. Before the race starts, you need to choose your transport. Currently, there are two types of transport with different properties.
- Racing Strider:
- Jumping to the flag allows you to quickly move to the flag and save time (see screenshot);
- Strengthening the lasso allows you to pick up a strengthening item, eliminating the need to run to it (see details below);
- Jumping towards a racer allows you to catch up with another racer.
- Rocket Leg:
- Accelerators provide significant acceleration and immunity to stun;
- Giant Jump allows you to jump long distances;
- A missile salvo will disorient nearby airships that try to stun you;
- Additionally, you can cancel the parachute from the Giant Jump.
Each route has power-up items to help you reach the finish line faster, flags that give you a boost, as well as dizzying barbed wire and airships that try to stun the racers. Below are screenshots of all listed objects.
| Gives the effect What a speed! . | Allows you to jump forward. |
 |  |
| Allows you to jump into the air. | Allows you to jump very high into the air. |
 |  |
| Gives the Racing Rules needed for Racer Jump or Rocket Barrage. | The flag gives the effect What a speed! . |
 |  |

Incredible! Amazing! You will be simply stunned! You are definitely not ready for the new Darkmoon Faire yet, because it will be something completely different from what you are used to seeing before! But don't worry - we've got you ready. So, what can you expect at Darkmoon Faire with the release of update 4.3?
Is this old stuff again?
No no and one more time no. The new Darkmoon Fair will be completely different from before; Moreover, it will now be held in a completely different place. The management of the fair has remained the same, but the fair itself has changed a lot. Coupons? You no longer need old coupons - you can safely tear them up, because we will now have new ones! Out with everything old, green light for everything new. Many new tasks await you! We've got some big changes here - now we have our own island, and what a one! Shrouded in fog Mysterious Island New moons are one big mystery in themselves. This is an amazing and wonderful place, and you won't even believe the lengths we had to go to get it... not to mention who we had to negotiate with. But it is not important. Let me tell you better what the new Darkmoon Fair is.
All new! Everything is amazing!
Catch a performance on the luxurious main stage or admire the fireworks show - but don't stay in one place for too long, otherwise you may miss the many amazing events that await you at every turn. Take a look at the magical menagerie, find out your future from the inimitable Warjay, ride a pony, try new fair delicacies - and that’s not all!
Of course, the Darkmoon Faire is not only about fantastic performances and culinary delights. You'll still be able to turn in your Darkmoon cards - but you won't come to the fair just for the cards, when there's so much to see... and win. Yes, yes, win! You like dancing bears, right? Everyone loves dancing bears - even the bears themselves. How about a dancing bear that you can ride on?
But that's not all! We have prepared new cute and funny pets for you, including a monkey in a fez, a bunch of professional recipes, toys, Balloons, souvenirs, gourmet foods and drinks, heirloom items for “little ones,” and even replicas of ancient armor for transmogrification of modern equipment. You can also earn new achievements and titles. All you need to earn these amazing rewards are Darkmoon Faire gift vouchers and, of course, a good reputation with the event hosts. How can I get more of these coupons? It’s very good that you asked – now we’ll tell you!
Come, come! Try your luck! There are no losers!
How are we doing with games? We are great with games: there are a whole bunch of them, and they are not at all difficult - even an orc can master them. All you need to participate in the games is to purchase Darkmoon Faire Tokens. Everyone can play and win. Learning to play is as easy as shelling pears, but to reach the heights of mastery, naturally, you will have to practice. Beat gnolls, take part in tank battles, shoot cannons, throw rings, try your luck at the shooting range - test your skills in any of these games and win Darkmoon Gift Vouchers. The better you play, the more coupons you can win! Once a month you will have such an opportunity, and the fun will have no limits, since you can play until you drop. But this is far from the only way to get rich!
Darkmoon Faire Handbook
This is your passport to the world of great wealth. You see, what's the matter - we need all sorts of different gizmos that are of little value to a powerful hero like you. We call them Darkmoon artifacts; they are different types and are found everywhere in Azeroth. The Darkmoon Faire Sourcebook will help you find these artifacts as you explore dungeons, slay monsters, and fight on battlefields. Without a directory, you simply won’t notice them - but it will help you focus on finding the things we need. And it doesn’t matter whether you just reached level 10 or some of the most powerful monsters have already fallen at your hands - everyone can find what we need. And no, you will not need to go to the ends of the earth in search of these artifacts. We will invite you to find one of these artifacts for us every month. What benefit do you have? Don't be afraid, you won't lose out. By turning over the Darkmoon Artifact to us, you will gain experience (experience is rarely too much!), improve your reputation and, perhaps, also receive gift coupons for the Darkmoon Fair.
Oh, and best of all, you can use the Darkmoon Faire Guide to transport yourself to Darkmoon Island during faire season!
What about working in show business?
It would be interesting to take a look behind the scenes and find out how one of the best holiday events in Azeroth is organized, huh? Let's say right away that everything is far from so carefree and rosy - you need to treat animals, cook food and constantly fix something. If you want to help the show organizers and put your skills to use, we will be very happy! You'll be able to gain experience, Darkmoon Gift Vouchers, and even improve your professional skill - up to five skill points in one fair week if you do a good job!
Darkmoon Fights
Like any festival of this magnitude, the Darkmoon Faire also has its dark side. If you think that working at the machine is for losers, you can try yourself in a competition for real brave men - for the first time since the Gurubashi arena! Pit Master Pei has prepared a huge chest filled with trophies and gift vouchers from the Darkmoon Fair. The jackpot draw takes place approximately every three hours. Naturally, everyone will want to receive such a prize, so if you also intend to compete for it, you will have to prove that there are no fighters equal to you in the arena.
Come on, the fair is completely safe. The main thing is not to go into the dark forest.
Quietly, just don't panic. Yes, Darkmoon Island looks a little creepy in places, but the fair itself is completely safe - with the possible exception of the fighting pit. I guarantee you this. Moreover, the territory of the fair is a sanctuary - we do not want the holiday to be spoiled by someone else's showdowns. True, the forests around are a completely different matter. I wouldn’t like to scare you with stories that many went there and never returned, but... many went there and never returned. So be careful when you leave the fair. And don’t say later that you weren’t warned!
Make a note on your calendar
Now that you know what's in store for you at the new Darkmoon Faire, you won't want to miss it. Just check the game calendar periodically - the dates for the Darkmoon Faire will be marked there (this is the first week of each month). Also, announcements about the upcoming fair will be posted in each of the capitals, and barkers will invite everyone to it. Silas Darkmoon is even going to organize a mailing list so that no one misses the holiday!
Give me a ride?
During the first week of each month, fair offices will open in Elwynn Forest and Mulgore - through the Darkmoon Portals located there, you can travel to Darkmoon Island for free and take part in the celebration!
Darkmoon magicians in the capitals and on Darkmoon Island will also be ready to offer you their services for moving from the fair to various capital cities and back (though this time not for free).
The new Darkmoon Faire is moving to Darkmoon Island in update 4.3. Do not miss!
After update, New Moon Fair moved to her own Darkmoon Island, after which numerous questions began to arise related to her search. Players will find a lot of souvenirs, achievements, useful things, games and much more. Silas Newmoon will be waiting for anyone at the beginning of each month.

Darkmoon Faire - Artifacts
The Darkmoon Fair Directory is quite a useful thing because with its help you can get artifacts for which you can earn bonus coupons. Each artifact represents its own value and, accordingly, is exchanged for a certain number of coupons. It is noteworthy that artifacts can only be returned once per fair. The number of artifacts is around 9 pieces, so hurry to get them!
Darkmoon Fair - Daily Quests
New Moon Fair has been replenished with two types of tasks: professional and daily. Some tasks require a Token, which is given as a reward in tasks and drops out in special bags received at the fair.
Exactly!
Ringling and requires you to hit 25 targets. You can shoot at one target 2 times, so don’t worry if you don’t meet the allotted time, because the task can be repeated as many times as you like, and knocked down targets will no longer be renewed. Along with completing “Bullseye!”, you can get the achievement “ Rate of fire “, which only requires a very fast completion of the task.
Gnollop
The task costs 1 Token, taken from Krott and requires you to hit the gnolls crawling out of the barrels with a sledgehammer within a certain time. The difficulty is that a baby can crawl out of the barrel, and you can’t hit it, otherwise you’ll get it for a few seconds, which will take away precious seconds of time.
Tank commander
The task requires you to hit 30 targets from a tank, control of which will be transferred to you immediately after acceptance. Enemy airships, other tanks and other obstacles will stand in your way. Assignments are taken from Finlay Napoval .
Cannon Man
After the start of the task, you turn into a living cannonball, which is fired from a cannon. Your task is to hit the floating target near the pier. To successfully complete the task you need to score 5 points. To return back to the cannon, you will have to use the help of a teleporter for 30 silver (there is a Teleportologist opposite the target). Completing this task will reward you with the achievement " Sniper bomber "(for a well-aimed hit).
Target: turtle
Within 5 minutes you need to hit the turtle with rings 3 times. The turtle will wander behind the barrier and you cannot approach it. The task is taken from Jessica Rogers .
For completing daily tasks you can get:
- Prize coupons
- +250 reputation with New Moon Fair
If you complete all daily tasks with games, you will receive the overall achievement " Do not be shy! »
The locations of NPCs that provide the teleportation service to the Darkmoon Fair during it are described. For convenient use, it is better to use the TomTom addon from curse.com, or you can also use a macro - as I remember, it was presented on the official forum by one of the users - in the Interface and Macros section.
Darkmoon Faire Fortune Tellers provide inexpensive teleport to Thunder Bluff for the Horde or Goldshire for the Alliance during the Faire. This is convenient, and for characters up to level 85 it can even be useful. In order to teleport, you just need to find an NPC with that name, talk to him and pay a certain amount.
You can see exactly when the next Fair is or will be held in the calendar - an icon next to the minimap.
The cost of teleportation varies depending on the character's level - from a few coppers for low-level characters to 50 silver for a level 90 character.
The location of Fortune Tellers in alphabetical order of localities is indicated below. NPCs have varying practical usefulness. For example, in Thunder Bluff or Stormwind their value is insignificant, but nevertheless:

In patch 4.3, a new Darkmoon Fair was introduced. Previously, she visited one of three places every month and, frankly, was quite boring. Now everything has changed - the fair has its own island and has become much more popular. This guide will help you navigate the new New Moon Faire.
?The timings of the fair have not changed. It starts on the first Sunday of every month.
Where is the New Moon Fair??
In patch 4.3, the fair got its own island. To get there, you need to talk to the Darkmoon Diviner in any big city your faction. This NPC will teleport you to the previous location of the fair: Elwynn Forest (Alliance) / Mulgore (Horde). There you will find a portal, after passing through which you will find yourself on the new new moon island. All that remains is to run along the path to the fair itself.
Tasks
It would seem that the Darkmoon Faire offers players a large number of different tasks to complete. In fact, there are relatively few tasks. In the guide, we roughly divided them into two categories: daily and those that can only be completed once during one fair. Let's start with the last ones.
One-time tasks
Professions
Characters with professions can complete the corresponding tasks at the fair - one for each profession they have learned, including all secondary skills. The tasks are very simple; Typically, you just need to collect some parts or cook something using a profession.
As a reward for completing tasks for the main professions, you will receive 4 Darkmoon Prize Coupons, and for secondary skills - 3 coupons.
Task list :
- Enchanting: Trash Recycling
- Tailoring: Flags, flags everywhere!
- Leatherworking: Crafting Prizes
- Blacksmithing: Baby needs new horseshoes
- Inscription: Prediction of the future
- Alchemy: Bubble Cocktail
- Jewelry Making: Let the Fair Sparkle
- Engineering: Speaking of tanks
- Herbalism: Healing Herbs
- Mining: Reuse and Recycle
- Skinning: Scrape the skins
- Archeology: Fun for the little ones
- Cooking: Crispy frogs
- Fishing: Sea Hot Dog
- First aid: Getting workers back on their feet
Collecting rare artifacts
A funny quest in which you need to score 30 points in the allotted time. In front of you there will be a small field on which there are 9 barrels. Mannequins will appear from them, which after some time will again hide in the barrels. There are three types of dummies: a large gnoll, a regular gnoll, and a child. Your task is to hit the gnolls with a hammer, but do not touch the children. A regular gnoll scores 1 point, a large gnoll scores 3 points. If you hit a child, you will be stunned for a few seconds as a penalty.
You need to climb into the cannon in the middle of the island, which will soon shoot you. The character will fly towards the water on special wings that will support him in the air. In the water you will see a circle marked by debris where you need to land. You need to press the button on the panel that appears to fall into the water. You have to time everything so that you land exactly in the circle. Getting into the very center is worth 5 points, getting into the circle is worth 3 points, and getting right next to the circle is worth 1 point. Your task is to score 5 points. If you don’t get them right away, don’t worry, the gnome on the shore will be able to teleport you back to the cannon, where you can try your luck again. This task usually requires the most tokens.
Controlling a small steam tank, you must destroy 30 targets within the allotted time. The task is somewhat complicated by the presence of enemy tanks and airships that can knock you down. To avoid this, use acceleration when they target your tank.
Classic shooting gallery. Within a certain time, you need to score 30 points in the shooting range. There will be 3 targets that will be illuminated in turn. You need to shoot at the illuminated target. For a quick hit you will get 2 points, for a regular hit - 1 point.
You will be given 9 rings that you can throw at a turtle with a special pole on its back. You need to use three rings to get onto this pole. The task is complicated by the movement of the turtle - it can easily move away from the place where you threw the ring. However, it moves inactively and the task usually does not cause difficulties.
Reputation
Previously, the reputation with the Darkmoon Fair was very difficult to achieve, since the only way - turning over decks - was very expensive in terms of gold. At the updated fair, reputation is upgraded much easier.
For each completed task, the character will receive +250 reputation with the fair (excluding bonuses). Thus, reputation can be improved to Exalted in 2-3 fairs.
Achievements
The new Dark Moon Fair brought 13 new achievements to the game. Most of them do not cause difficulties, but some will have to be tinkered with.
Darkmoon Fair Achievements
The simplest of all achievements. Given immediately as soon as your character arrives on New Moon Island.
The achievement is given to those who ride a pony at the Dark Moon Fair. The pony is located at the very end of the fair, next to the animal pens - coordinates (56.8 81.5). To ride him and get the achievement, you must be level 20 and have learned the riding skill.
You need to complete all five Darkmoon Faire daily quests listed above.
The achievement is given to players who complete 6 profession tasks. Since the maximum number of possible professions for one character is exactly six, for this achievement you need to have 2 main professions and all 4 secondary skills.
Try all the drinks and food at the fair. Everything you need for the achievement can be purchased from Silannia (drinks) and Thunderhorn Stomp (food).
Keep in mind that you need to be level 85 to consume Sasparilla and Sea Dog, so only max level characters will be able to complete the achievement.
By completing the daily task “Hit the Bullseye!” you need to hit the target immediately after the mark appears above it. To do this, most often you need to start using the shot before the mark appears. For such a hit, 2 points are awarded at once, and the inscription “Quick and accurate!” appears.
During the daily task “Cannon Man” you need to hit the very center of the target, this also gives you 5 points at once. Over time, this achievement will most likely happen by itself, but if you are in a hurry, there are quite a lot of tricks described on WoWhead for achieving it.
Complete all 3 tasks to hand over artifacts from the battlefields.
