WoW Classic Guide to Darkmoon Faire

Von RenataKane Letztes Update: 12.07.2021 Änderungsprotokoll Patch: 1.14.3

Introduction to Classic Darkmoon FaireDifferences in Darkmoon Faire between Classic and Retail

There is no Darkmoon Isle in Classic. Darkmoon Faire has two static locations in Mulgore, Elwynn Forest, and the Faire rotates every month between them.

The Faire schedule is different. In Classic, setup begins on the first Friday of the month, and the Faire opens the following Monday. You can't interact with anything in the Faire grounds during the setup period.

There are no Darkmoon Faire Mages to teleport you to the grounds in Classic.

Vendors have a much more limited selection in Classic.

In Classic, Dunkelmond-Jahrmarkt doesn't earn you anything other than the usual changes in vendor prices that come with any reputation improvements.

Games in the Classic Darkmoon Faire are just there for play. They don't have any associated daily quests and there are no prizes or reputation that comes from playing them.

The +5 Profession quests that exist in Retail Darkmoon Faire were not introduced until Cataclysm, so are not present in Classic.

Darkmoon Faire LocationsReaching the Elwynn Forest Darkmoon Faire as Horde

Go to the zeppelin platform in either Ogrimmar or Undercity and take the zeppelin to Grom'gol Base Camp in Stranglethorn Vale.

Once in Grom'gol (don't forget to pick up the flight point if you don't have it), take the road northeast out of the camp, and turn left at the T intersection. Travel north along this road until you cross into Duskwood.

Follow the road north, but keep your eye out for a small Alliance guard encampment on the right side of the road, near the junction of the east-west road. As soon as you see it, swing west to avoid this camp. Do not turn onto the road, but head overland north between the Twilight Grove and Raven Hill Cemetery.

Stay north in this corridor until you hit the river (ideally you want to be around 30,24 in Duskwood). Cross the river into Elwynn Forest.

Head north, keeping the farm (Maclure Vineyards) to your right. You will soon see the Darkmoon Faire grounds, just south of Goldshire.

Reaching the Mulgore Darkmoon Faire as AllianceShorter but Riskier: Menethil Harbor > Theramore > Dustwallow Marsh > Barrens > Mulgore

Fly to Menethil Harbor in Wetlands, and take the boat to Theramore.

From Theramore, run northwest into Dustwallow Marsh and follow the road as it winds north, then west, then south, and then west again toward the Barrens.

Upon entering the Barrens, go west and then turn north on the main road. When you can see Camp Taurajo up ahead, swing west toward the mountains and pass south of Camp T, picking up the road going west into Mulgore on the other side.

Go west into Mulgore until you see a small dirt road heading north, just to the east of the pond (this route avoids Bloodhoof Village and mostly avoids a guard that can wander this road, although you will need to keep an eye out for him).

Keep the pond at your left shoulder and follow it around until you pick up the road again going north. This will take you safely into the Darkmoon Faire grounds.

Longer but Safer: Stormwind > Elwynn > Duskwood > Stranglethorn > Ratchet > Barrens > Mulgore

Take your best route to Stormwind City, and exit the city into Elwynn Forest. Run south to Goldshire, and turn east.

Run east across Elwynn Forest into Redridge Mountains.

In Redridge, take your first right and run south into Duskwood.

Follow the road south through Darkshire, and around a bend toward the west. Just south of the Twilight Grove, turn left on the road and due south into Stranglethorn Vale.

Follow the road south down the entire length of Stranglethorn Vale to Booty Bay, and take the boat on the northwest docks to Ratchet.

Once in Ratchet (don't forget to pick up the flight point!), take the road west toward the Crossroads. Once you can see the Crossroads, you will need to cut off the corner going southwest, and pick up the road going south.

As you approach Camp Taurajo, you will see a road turning west into the camp. Skirt well north of Camp T and pick up the road west into Mulgore on the other side.

Keep the pond at your left shoulder and follow it around until you pick up the road again going north. This will take you safely into the Darkmoon Faire grounds.

Differences between Retail and ClassicIn Retail, all these carnies are still employed by Darkmoon Faire, but have different jobs. Yebb Nabetand runs the Petting Zoo and gives the Blacksmithing profession quest. Kerri Hicks gives the quest for 250 Grisly Trophies. Rinling runs the Shooting Gallery and offers the profession quests for Engineering, Leatherworking, and Mining. Chronos manages the profession quests for Herbalism, Skinning, and Jewelcrafting, having recently retired from managing the First Aid quests (which leads one to wonder who's handling carnie health care).Spending Darkmoon Faire TicketsDunkelmondlagerbehälterGelvas Rußgatter

In Classic, there were only 9 possible items, only 2 of which survived to Retail: Dunkelmondblume and Dunkelmondlagerbehälter (which is 14 slots in Classic instead of 16 in Retail).

Elwynn Forest: /way 41.3, 70.0

Bestienkartenset

Dunkelmond-Karte: Blauer Drache: Equip: 2% chance on successful spellcast to allow 100% of your Mana regeneration to continue while casting for 15 sec.
If you cast a lot of instant or short-cast spells, such as healers in raids, this is a very useful trinket. Not so useful for DPS classes who primarily use long-cast or channeled spells.

Elementarkartenset

Dunkelmond-Karte: Mahlstrom: Chance to strike your melee target with lightning for 200 to 300 Nature damage.
Note this says "melee" damage, so obviously this is best for melee classes. It's considered a BiS for Retribution paladins.

Portalkartenset

Dunkelmond-Karte: Wirbelnder Nether: Gives the wearer a 10% chance of being able to resurrect with 20% health and mana.
This trinket is primarily good for PvP.

Kriegsfürstenkartenset

Dunkelmond-Karte: Heldentum: Sometimes heals bearer of 120 to 180 damage when damaging an enemy in melee.
This may seem like a good tank trinket, but the general consensus is that this is a more useful trinket for melee farming or grinding.

Important: Do NOT click on Morja before you start.

Right click on one mug. When the hand starts to glow, set the Dunkeleisenbierbecher on the ground next to Morja.

Wait until her frog Jubjub hops over to the mug. This may take a while, so be patient.

When he has returned, she will offer a quest.

Take the quest, and turn in the second Dunkeleisenbierbecher.

This completes the quest, and she will give you Unausgebrütetes Jublingei. In seven days, it will hatch and you will have your very own Jubling, summoned through Das kleine Zuhause eines Jublings.

When do cards start to drop?

Kommentar von Rayito

can i win that tabard?

Kommentar von Robbie

Excellent guide, thank you.

Kommentar von Duxjan

The differences between Retail and Classic very clear explained. Thanks!

EDIT: Doe anyone know why Tailoring was left out?

Kommentar von Syntaks

has a cutoff; upon reaching a certain reputation level, you can no longer turn in that tier for reputation, although you will still get tickets. (Reputation doesn't offer any bonuses or advantages, but it's worth mentioning).

Is this correct? Every thing else i read says once you reach the reputation cutoff you can't turn in that tier again - not even for tickets.

Kommentar von nephthyss

Is it true that you need to have the specific profession to be able to turn in items in exchange for tickets? Eg: do i need to be an engineer to be able to turn in Thorium Widgets in exchange for tickets?

Kommentar von TheCrux

Won't the Darkmoon Faire start its setup on the 1st May 2020 instead of the 8th? The month starts with a Friday.

Kommentar von Sianis

Tip: if your inventory is full when asking the sage for a fortune, you won't receive it and won't be able to ask for it again.

Kommentar von Burdomew

This is showing Armor Kits and Thorium Widgets as Tier 4. I assume that's a typo and you can use those turn ins endlessly?

Kommentar von zz0dzz

The Sayge only allows you to get a new buff every 4 hours of logged time, so you have to be mindful of that if you're raidlogging. Might be a useful detail to add in there.

Kommentar von Blitzar

Tonks third ability is random between:

Flamethrower
Mine
MG Turret
Shield

Kommentar von padmanek

For each of these decks, the 2-8 cards are random drops off levels 45-60 Undead and Humanoids.

This is false. I've just had Five of Portals card drop of elite Satyr in DM East.

Kommentar von Lmory

The Tier 5 Reputation Cut-Off is NOT at 5999/6000. It's at 2100/6000.

Kommentar von EdyG

I was turning in small furry paws on my human, the rep cutoff says 500, I am at 440 and can't turn in anymore. What gives?

Kommentar von SilverSaw

Do you know, exactly at what hour they close Darkmoon Fire on Sunday
and you are unable to deliver quests anymore ?

Kommentar von Obae

Why the $%^& would anyone walk into Redridge to get to Booty Bay? And why would Ally follow the road while Horde skip them

Kommentar von Ticomainiac

Are the tickets transferable?

Kommentar von basedtobe

The Buffs and Fortunes section is poorly formatted. You should more clearly show which selections give which buffs. This is a jumbled mess.

Kommentar von GeodesicDragon

Nice guide, but I've noticed a small error.

In the section about the card decks, you mention Elementarkartenset des Dunkelmond-Jahrmarkts twice instead of Kriegsherrenkartenset des Dunkelmond-Jahrmarkts

To create a deck, collect all eight cards and click on them to combine. This starts a corresponding quest to turn in the deck to Professor Thaddeus Paleo in Darkmoon Faire: Bestienkartenset des Dunkelmond-Jahrmarkts, Elementarkartenset des Dunkelmond-Jahrmarkts, Elementarkartenset des Dunkelmond-Jahrmarkts or Portalkartenset des Dunkelmond-Jahrmarkts. Thaddeus is located at 41.3, 70.0 in Elwynn Forest or 36.5, 38.0 in Mulgore when the Faire is in town.

Kommentar von Robin64

Seems dates aren't correct. May 2021 is listed as setting up on the 7th and opening on the 10th, but it's setting up right now on the 2nd and will open tomorrow on the 3rd.

Kommentar von Luckyluckey

Either the schedule on this site is wrong or the DMF has started a week early in Classic. Tents have been spotted this week. The schedule for May says we should not see them till the 7th.

Kommentar von Admiral2k

what about the schedule change for TBC 2021? I'm talking about a new city.

Kommentar von Thorex60

As of phase 3 of TBC classic the T5 turn-ins are still capped at 2100/6000 and has not yet been raised to 5999/6000.
