Will be great that these quests are repeatable. Nice for those 5 points here and there you don't want to spend 1000g or hours farming mats to level.

You find the Discarded Weapon in little rubbish piles around the faire grounds. You can't actually use your Disenchant ability on the items. Just right click to use them and it will turn them into the Soothsayer's Dust that you need.

One of the new patch 4.3 Darkmoon Faire profession quests, you must have at least 75 skill in Enchanting to see this quest.

This quest requires no additional items, you do not use your disenchanting skill but simply right-click the Discarded Weapons you collect.

The profession quests can only be completed once during each Darkmoon Faire and will grant 5 skill points.

Quick summary of item requirements for Darkmoon Faire profession quests

Additional items required:

Alchemy ( 5 Moonberry Juice )
Inscription ( 5 Light Parchment )
Leatherworking ( 10 Shiny Bauble, 5 Coarse Thread, 5 Blue Dye )
Tailoring ( 1 Coarse Thread, 1 Red Dye, 1 Blue Dye )
Archaeology ( 15 Fossil Archaeology Fragments )
Cooking ( 5 Simple Flour )

No item requirements:

Blacksmithing
Enchanting
Engineering
Herbalism
Jewelcrafting
Mining
Skinning
First Aid
Fishing

The nearest vendors to the Darkmoon Faire portals are Kuruk (H), Innkeeper Farley (A) for the Moonberry Juice and Shadi Mistrunner (H), Tharynn Bouden (A) for all the other trade goods. You'll have to collect the fossil fragments yourself. If you forgot to bring your fishing rod with you, Tatia Brine on Darkmoon Island sells fishing supplies.

Well, it was pretty easy to find them as soon as i found the first one. Just go close to the bay (but not on the beach) and you will find your first item :)

As with all the Darkmoon Faire profession quests, you need a skill of 75 in that profession to be eligible for the quest.

It took me a couple tries but you right click to collect, then right click your bag slot to disenchant

Current Bug Report: As at 31/03/12, on the 5th DMF since its revamp, many players with exalted rep (and some with revered) have reported being unable to see any of the monthly quests on the island, nor can they accept any of the quests started by the nine DMF raid/dungeon/PVP drops. Tickets have been submitted and a resolution may have already been implemented some 36 hours later - seeking more confirmation from players.

These quests can be completed every month

Comment by QuickBASIC37

Even if you done the primary profession quests that week, if you drop a profession during Dark Moon Faire week, you can do the quests for the profession that you pick up as well. Even rewarding the achievement Faire Favors without completing one of the secondary skill quests such as Archaeology or Fishing.

Possibly means that if your toon has no professions you could conceivably do the quest for every primary profession each month, awarding you with 36 Darkmoon Prize Tickets instead of just 8. (Assuming you're willing to get each profession to 75 and really really want the tickets right meow.)

I found them all on the boardwalk at the edge of the water, and yes they sparkle just like regular quest items. Just right-click them in your bags and they turn into the dust you need!

Comment by jabbathebutt97

It wont let me disenchant the discarded weapons and im like level 200 enchanting.

Comment by TheCrosshare

Quick tip; if you press alt+z, aka hide the ui, there's a sparkly effect on the trahpiles.

The sparkly effect for some reason is only visible when you're in non-ui mode(might be a settings issue for me too). Might help someone find thee elusive piles of "dust material".

"Discarded" weapons,...just lying around at a theme park. Only in WoW.

As of 8.0.1:

I was waiting to finish off Legion enchanting with Darkmoon to save some money... waited half a month for the Faire to come around. After doing the quest for skillpoints I was awarded with nothing but 5 tickets, the rep, and some gold.

Pretty pissed off.

As of 2018.8.5 / 8.01

I completed this quest with enchanting 100/100 for all expansions except for legion which was at 80/100. I did not receive +5 skill to enchanting for completing the quest.

Comment by thulsadoom

The profession quests only reward skill level if your "classic" skill level is under 300. I tested this with a toon with 280/300 cooking and was rewarded the +5 cooking skill points from the DMF quest. I am unsure if this change was intentional or not. I reported this as a bug.

This affects all quests that reward skill levels that changed in the BFA pre-patch including dailies such as Feeling Crabby?.

I have confirmed that Archaeology DMF quest still rewards your skill points if you are under 800 skill level. This was the only profession that was not changed in the latest patch.

Additionally, I verified the following quests will reward bonus skill levels if your "classic" skill level is under 300.

Cooking - Putting the crunch in the Frog
Engineering - Talkin' Tonks
Inscription - Writing your future

Putting Trash to Good Use

Collect 6 Soothsayer's Dusts by disenchanting Discarded Weapons found around the grounds of the Darkmoon Faire.

	Soothsayer's Dust (6)

Description

People don't just come to the faire for fun and fortunes, <name>. Most want something to take home with them, so I help to create the magical trinkets visitors purchase with their prize tickets.

For that, I need a steady supply of soothsayer's dust. Take a look around the grounds and you'll see a lot of discarded weapons. Those are just the kinds of items that can be broken down into dust with enchanting skills like yours. Would you like to help?
