Darkmoon Faire GamesRing TossWho:Jessica Rogers

Normal Objective: Toss 10 rings near the Darkmoon Turtle.

Daily Quest Objective: Land 3 rings ON the Darkmoon Turtle.

Game Hints: Take a moment and look at the bolded text right above this. You know why thats bolded? Its because this turtle is sneaky. The turtle scuttles around fairly slow but will move at very unpredictable moments, so its more difficult than you think. So wait for the turtle to just have stopped and then start your ring toss. Since its a short cast, you should nail it

Tonk ChallengeWho:Finlay Coolshot

Normal Objective: Drive your tonk through the war zone, blasting enemy tonks and minizeps while avoiding your own destruction.

Daily Quest Objective: Use your Darkmoon Tonk to destroy 30 Tonk Targets in the time allowed.

Game Hints: The biggest tip for this game is to get in close to your target because these tonks fire in a fairly unpredictable direction in a cone infront of you. Also, watch out for other players who want to delay from finishing... you know they will try, alot.

Shooting ChallengeWho:Rinling

Normal Objective: Aim your rifle at one of three targets that is marked by a green arrow by pointing your character in its direction and firing.

Daily Quest Objective: Score 25 points in 60 seconds.

Game Hints: This is one of the more difficult games you will play at the faire. Why? Because the more people playing at the same time you are, the harder it is aim correctly and hit the target. So wait it out if a lot of people are playing. Over all a fast and fun game though!

The Cannon ChallengeWho:Maxima Blastenheimer

Normal Objective: Fire yourself from the cannon and land in the middle of the target in the water near the Darkmoon boardwalk.

Daily Quest Objective: Accumulate 5 Cannon Target Points by landing near the target.

Game Hints: The first couple of times you do this, you will probably be spouting curses at something but after those first few trys you should get a feel for when to pop your wings. Point break down is as follows... 1 point = landed near target, 3 points = landed in ring around target, 5 points = SMACK in the middle of target. Practice makes perfect!

Whack-a-MoleWho:Mola

Normal Objective: Swing your hammer at the gnolls that pop up from the barrels in the game area. Bonus points for hitting any stray Warlocks that wander by. Just kidding... but seriously, its OK to hit the Warlocks. ;)

Daily Quest Objective: Score 30 points by whacking Gnolls.

Game Hints: You will be doing a lot of running from barrel to barrel for this game but its really fun to whack the crap out of some gnolls. Hard day at work? WHACK A GNOLL! Long day at school? WHACK A GNOLL! 3 hours of raid boss wipes and no progression? WHACK MANY GNOLLS! Keep in mind though, this being the hardest game to predict, you will need a tiny bit of concentration though, just warning you!

Really nice guide!
You've done a great job putting it together and particularly getting it done in time for the patch going live.

Comment by Robbie

Fantastic guide! I can tell that you put a lot of work into this, and it will certainly be very useful when the patch is out.
5/5!

Comment by SherriaRH

Awesome guide will be extremely helpful when patch is released. 5/5

Comment by AoBman05

I recommend adding the prices for the Heirloom gear since you've already taken the liberty of adding the price tags of everything else.

There's also quite a few syntax errors (and inconsistencies) with the WoWHead hotlinking, I would fix that as soon as possible as well.

Other than that, it is a solid guide.

Comment by 911016

Google translated the above post: I will add on my own about the quest Test Your Strength is pretty easy, the most important thing was to find a place where a lot of mobs that will not break through and was pretty fast ... Rep.
I flew a little remembered as swinging a 78 level, and I remember a place in Icecrown ..
If you are lvl 85, these mobs will not be too hard. ( Not sure, part of it didn't translate properly.)
Here is a map there Icecrown and kill these mobs. Converted Hero
Good luck.
P.s. Do not forget to collect them all drop to rep was faster
I'm sorry that it is not in English, I unfortunately do not know it.

Well the removed russian post anyway. Hope that helps!

Comment by uselessx

There is also a small underwater cave, below a ship wreck in the middle-eastern side of the island. Nothing there as of yet.

Comment by 904878

Thanks for making this~! <3

Comment by 500383

It's really a nice guide. Grats for that. Although, can anybudy update me on what DMF reputation is good for atm? I can not see any prize or mount or pet, ect. what requies you to be at a certain reputation leves with the DMF.

Comment by DartVader

Checking something- guide says the daily quests for the games give 5 prize tickets each, I'm only getting one each. Is this a problem with the guide or the game?

Comment by 769380

Has anyone calculated how many tickets you can theoretically get during one DMF week? Along those lines, how long to get all the pets, or the mounts, etc.

Comment by Transducer

Very nice lively guide, the visuals make it more interesting too. Chock full of all the fun and useful info we need to know, and even the extra stuff to explore!

There are two more 'secret' items that can be bought with Darkmoon tickets; Last Month's Mutton and Last Year's Mutton, for one ticket each, from the creepy Rona Greenteeth out in the woods.

This blue post has confirmed that ALL quests will actually be reset with the fair's return each month, including the quest drop items acquired with Darkmoon Adventurer's Guide in your bags, and Kerry Hick's Test Your Strength. He goes on to say in this follow up post that these items continue to drop throughout the month, and that they're also BoE.

Less important, but if you like you could also specify where those item drops come from too. A Treatise on Strategy drops from Cata heroic bosses only, Soothsayer's Runes drops from Cata raid bosses only. Fallen Adventurer's Journal, Banner of the Fallen, and Captured Insignia are all lootable from enemy player corpses in battlegrounds. The other five seem to be from any dungeon bosses, but each one seems to have a pattern for what 'type' of boss drops them, as explained at bottom of NelleRavencrest's helpful post.

Thanks again for the great guide. :)

Comment by Synit

Cheers for the guide 5/5 :D

Comment by Transducer

Another breakdown of ticket total, paraphrased from this blue post, italics are details I added:

Primary Tradeskills: 8 ( 2 quests x 4 tickets )
Cata Raid: 10 ( 1 item drop ) ~ *req. lvl 85*
'Kerri's Kill Count Quest': 10
Secondary Tradeskills: 12 ( 4 quests x 3 tickets )
Cata Heroic Dungeon: 15 ( 1 item drop ) ~ *req. lvl 85*
Battlegrounds: 15 (3 item drops x 5 tickets) ~ *req. lvl 15*
Mini Games: 35 ( 5 dailies x 1 ticket x 7 days)
Dungeon: 40 ( 4 item drops x 10 tickets ) ~ *req. lvl 15*

Total Tickets per faire: 145

+ 5 if you squeeze in time before dailies reset on sunday, between midnight and 3am server time.
+ 5 one time only, if your character has never done The Darkmoon Faire(A) / The Darkmoon Faire(H) breadcrumb quest before 4.3.

~ Item drop quests requires Darkmoon Adventurer's Guide in bag, or you can get them from other players / AH. Items can be looted even when Darkmoon Faire is closed.

Comment by 931190

anyone know what the skill lvl is to start the profession quests

Comment by 592730

would just like to say as far as the tree of death goes i think ive already solved that. has anyone else noticed the suspicious foods vendor somewhat south of the tree? DUN DUN DUHNNNN!

Comment by Penephele

tmptfate, you may want to include the skill requirements for profession quests. I just stood in front of Sylannia and skilled up Alchemy from 50 to 75, and the quest became available once I reached 75. It's probably safe to assume all the quests pop up at 75. (I had 80 points in Archaeology and could do that one, but remember it being unavailable at 60.)

(edit: found a couple of spelling errors such as "archeology" and "herbilism")

Comment by 940182

Doing the 16 monthly(9 dungeon/pvp + trophys + 6 profs) will give 4000 rep w/o any guild perk/racial.
Doing the 5 dailys(the games) will give 1250rep per day, doing it all the 7(?) days of the Faire will give 8750 rep w/o any guildperk/racial.

Comment by jazo86

Thank you very much for this.I went to the darkmoon island for the first time and your guide helped me a lot.

Comment by 1010635

hmm the secret of the islands sounds like "Once you enter the Faire you can't leave . not even in death" sorta I want to see if I'm right about it :D

Comment by 993983

Perfect, what else to look for when you got a guide like this :D

Thanks so much for putting this together, a real life-saver when you are just getting back to the game!

Comment by bossru

For getting the arena achivement(dominator) really fast (like withing 1 week) there is a really comprehensive guide posted, you probably should put a link to it somewhere.
Darkmoon Dominator within 1 week

Comment by doggyears

I love this guide; refer to it almost every month in preparation for the faire.

But I wanted to point out a typo :

The Captured Journal
Started By: Adventurer's Journal
Quest Info
Objective: Bring the Captured Insignia to Professor Thaddeus Paleo at the Darkmoon Faire on Darkmoon Island.
Rewards:
Darkmoon Prize Ticket x15
+250 Darkmoon Faire Reputation

It shoulde be Adventurer's Journal and x5.

Comment by 821994

Besides the Darkmoon Faire Tickets, this is an excellent opportunity to level up professions by 5 skill points. Especially if there is an expensive hump to get over. Your profession level must be at 75 to pick up the given quest.
Things to bring:

Alchemy: 5 Moonberry Juice
Archaelogy: 15 Fossil Fragments
Cooking: 5 Flour
Inscription: 5 Parchment
Leatherworking: 5 Coarse Thread, 10 Shiny Baubles, 5 Blue Dye
Tailoring: Coarse Thread, Red Dye, Blue Dye

Also note:

All other mats are either supplied or around the faire.
The above items are mostly available near the DM Portal.
Enchanting - just click on the junk, don't try to DE it normally.
Blacksmithing - there's an anvil behind the Heirloom Prize Vendors.
Be sure to visit your trainer so the 5 skill points will advance you. : }

If you forgot something, your Engineer can always drop a mailbox near you. ; )

Comment by Trinnah

"Ferris Wheel" x.x
It's a carousel.
Otherwise great guide!

Comment by MaleicoGamer

Initially, keep the tickets to buy the mounts.

Comment by perculia

Will be happy to resticky the guide when updated for 6.0.2!

Comment by jakemiller75

That's a carousel, not a ferris wheel. LOL jus'sayin'...

Comment by Noritam

For whatever reason, I find this the easiest to follow Darkmoon Faire guide. Hope it gets updated to current content!
