The History of the Darkmoon Faire

The Darkmoon Faire first came to be when Patch 1.6 was released way back in 2005. During that time, there wasn’t really much to get excited about. However, as more patches which further optimized the game got implemented, features such as minigames, vendors exclusive to the faire, and even quests for you to dive into were thrown into the mix. It’s been a decade-and-a-half since it was first introduced, but the faire has always been a great way for the players to loosen up and take a break from the relentless grinding.

Where to Find the Darkmoon Faire

Unlike other timed events, the Darkmoon Faire pops up once a month and lasts for a week until the next month. Specifically, the faire arrives on the first Friday of every month to set and officially opens to the public on the first Monday of the month. While setting up, you won’t be able to interact with the vendors, games, or NPCs that have their quests until they’ve finished preparing. The location of the Darkmoon Faire varies, as the venue rotates between Mulgore that’s southwest of Thunder Bluff and Elwynn Forest which is on the south of Goldshire. In a way, each of the two venues is located in the vicinity of the Alliance and the Horde.

Things You Can Only Do In the Darkmoon Faire

There are a lot of things that you can only do in the Darkmoon Faire! For starters, you can play minigames. There are two games that are exclusive to the faire: The Humanoid Cannonball and Tank Battle Simulator. The Humanoid Cannonball puts you in a Blastenheimer 5000 Ultra Cannon and launches you through the air towards the water target. Although if you don’t hit the target, let’s just say there will be consequences for you to face. The Tank Battle Simulator, on the other hand, is a simulation wherein you can test your tank commander skills. You’ll be using a DarkmoonTonk and be pitted against other players. Whoever is the last person standing wins the game. Note that both of these games don’t award any prizes whatsoever. The mini games are there for you to simply compete against your friends.

Collect Tickets

Similar to a carnival, you can earn tickets and turn them in for rewards. These tickets can be earned by doing a series of quests to NPCs that are in the faire. The most that you can earn in a quest is 40 tickets. There are 9 items that you can buy with tickets, and these can be bought through GelvasGrimegate.

Here are the items that you can get:

Number of Tickets	Item	Required Level to Purchase
1200	Orb of the Darkmoon	55
1200	Amulet of the Darkmoon	55
50	Last Year’s Mutton	45
40	Greater Darkmoon Prize	45
12	Lesser Darkmoon Prize	30
10	Last Month’s Mutton	25
5	Minor Darkmoon Prize	15

50	Darkmoon Storage Box	6

Since the Darkmoon Faire comes once a month, there are plenty of chances for you to join in and see why this carnival-style event is still relevant today despite being 15 years old.
