About the Darkmoon Faire?

Chances are you haven’t given much thought to the Darkmoon Faire when it comes to town. Maybe you’ve never even noticed it. It only appears outside of Thunder Bluff for one week every other month.

However, everyone can benefit from the rewards available. If you are a Hunter or Rogue, you should be interested in [Amulet of the Darkmoon], a necklace with +10 Strength, +19 Agility, and +10 Stamina, or if you are a Druid, Mage, Priest, Shaman, or Warlock, the [Orb of the Darkmoon] necklace with +11 Stamina and +8 Spirit that increases spell healing and damage by 22. Both require you to be level 60, but you can start collecting the 1200 tickets to buy the items.

Without really going out of my way, I have nearly 500 tickets with Vaharneim and just shy of 100 tickets with Kurdt. I’ve done this by placing requests in GuildAds for some of the following 5 trash items which the Darkmoon Faire wants as turnins:

• [Torn Bear Pelt]
• [Soft Bushy Tail]
• [Vibrant Plume]
• [Evil Bat Eye]
• [Glowing Scorpid Blood]

Maybe neither of the necklaces are all that interesting to you, or perhaps you think it is not worth all the effort and bank space to collect all that stuff to turn in every 2 months… Then perhaps you would be more interested in collecting the cards. There are 4 card decks in the game that can be turned in at the faire for a spectacular trinket.

• The Beasts Deck becomes [Darkmoon Card: Blue Dragon] allowing mana regeneration to continue while casting.
• The Elementals Deck becomes [Darkmoon Card: Maelstrom] occasionally striking a melee target for 200-300 Nature damage.
• The Portals Deck becomes [Darkmoon Card: Twisting Nether] which can resurrect you 10% of the time.
• The Warlords Deck becomes [Darkmoon Card: Heroism] that acts like the Crusader enchant, occasionally healing the bearer for 120-180 damage whenever the bearer sucessfully damages a melee target.

To get any of these, you will have to collect the cards. Although you can find cards in the world, the Aces of the deck are relatively rare, and for all cards, it is easier to get them from the Auction House. Keep in mind, however, that an entire deck could cost you as much as 500 gold that way…
