Darkmoon Faire in WoW Forever: Dates, Quests and Rewards

The first Darkmoon Faire in World of Warcraft: Forever (WoW Forever) opened in Elwynn Forest, south of Goldshire, on Monday, November 9, 2026, and Wowhead lists it as closing on Sunday, November 15. As of November 10, 2026, I found no Blizzard page with the dates, so they come from Wowhead and Warcraft Tavern.

Quick answer: Go to the fairgrounds south of Goldshire and turn in items for Darkmoon Prize Tickets; the barkers Melnan Darkstone (Ironforge) and Kruban Darkblade (Orgrimmar) announce the Faire, per Wowhead. Wowhead's schedule has it in Mulgore on December 7, then back in Elwynn Forest on January 4, 2027.

Darkmoon Faire schedule in WoW Forever: Elwynn Forest November 9 to 15, Mulgore December 7 to 13, Elwynn Forest January 4 to 10, per Wowhead; Gfinity and Mein-MMO list November 16 as the end date. — The Darkmoon Faire schedule as Wowhead lists it, as of November 10, 2026.

When does the Darkmoon Faire end?

Wowhead and Warcraft Tavern say Sunday, November 15. Gfinity says the Faire runs from November 9 to November 16, and Mein-MMO's list also ends each stop a day later than Wowhead's, for example February 8 to 15. Both may be counting the Monday reset, but neither says so. That is a one-day conflict between outlets, so check the in-game event calendar rather than relying on the last day. Warcraft Tavern says the Faire returns on December 7 in Mulgore, two days before raids open; Wowhead's table agrees on December 7.

How do I get to the Faire?

Alliance players walk out of Goldshire. Wowhead says Horde players can take the zeppelin to Grom'gol Base Camp in Stranglethorn Vale, then travel north through Duskwood, avoiding a small Alliance guard camp, and cross the river into Elwynn Forest. Wowhead warns the route crosses zones up to level 30.

What do I do at the Faire?

Wowhead lists a quest called "The Darkmoon Faire" in Ironforge and Orgrimmar. At the grounds, Wowhead describes repeatable turn-in quests that pay tickets and 100 reputation each: animal parts to Yebb Neblegear, blacksmithing items to Kerri Hicks, engineering items to Rinling and leatherworking items to Chronos. They come in five tiers, paying 1, 4, 8, 12 and 20 tickets per turn-in. You do not need the profession, and a friend or the Auction House can supply the items, per Wowhead. Higher tiers need a minimum level, and a tier disappears once your reputation passes its cutoff.

What can I buy with tickets?

Gelvas Grimegate sells nine items. Wowhead highlights the 50-ticket Darkmoon Storage Box (14 slots, level 6 to use) and two 1,200-ticket items, the Amulet and Orb of the Darkmoon (level 55). The Faire also has pets: Flik sells frogs, and Wowhead describes a hidden Jubling egg quest with Morja.

What are Sayge's buffs?

Sayge gives a two-hour buff after two questions, and you can ask again after four hours of logged time, per Wowhead. Gfinity says the damage buff is 10% and Warcraft Tavern gives the answer pair 1, 1. Wowhead lists the other seven pairs, such as 3, 3 for Agility. Warcraft Tavern and Mein-MMO note that world buffs are not meant to work in raids.

How can the Lore Forever add-on and Willo help with the Faire?

The free Lore Forever add-on narrates the story of the zones, quests and NPCs around you as you play. It is fan-made, not affiliated with Blizzard, has no internet access, and its narration uses generated voices. Willo is a separate companion app for Windows 10 or 11 and Apple Silicon Macs (macOS 12 or later), per her page; the Lore Forever FAQ says Windows and Mac, though CurseForge still calls her a Windows app. She is free to start with 50 answers a day. Ask her out loud, or note a ticket plan in her Notebook. She can be wrong, and Wowhead and the in-game calendar are the source of truth.
