The first Darkmoon Faire has arrived in World of Warcraft: Forever, bringing a week of fortunes, unusual rewards and collectible cards to Azeroth.

This month, the traveling carnival has set up in Elwynn Forest. Players can visit Sayge for a temporary buff, exchange items for Darkmoon Prize Tickets and work toward rewards such as the 14-slot Darkmoon Storage Box.

Where Is the Darkmoon Faire?

The first Faire in WoW Forever is located in Elwynn Forest, south of Goldshire. Alliance players can travel south from Stormwind and follow the road toward the fairgrounds.

Horde players can also attend, but the journey takes them through Alliance territory. Watch out for guards and be prepared for possible encounters with enemy players on PvP rulesets.

The Faire is scheduled to stay until November 16. Event times can depend on your region, so check the Darkmoon Faire event page and your in-game calendar before making the trip.

When Is the Next Darkmoon Faire?

The next visit is currently scheduled for December 7, 2026, in Mulgore, near Thunder Bluff. The Faire moves between locations, so the December visit should be much easier for Horde characters to reach.

Future dates can change. The in-game calendar is the best place to check the current schedule for your region.

How to Get Sayge's 10% Damage Buff

One of the Faire's most popular attractions is Sayge, a fortune teller who grants different temporary buffs depending on how you answer his questions.

To receive Sayge's Dark Fortune of Damage, choose the first answer to both questions.

The buff is useful for open-world questing and farming. If you're planning a longer leveling session, picking it up before leaving Elwynn Forest can give you a little extra damage along the way.

Does Sayge's Buff Work in Raids?

Sayge's damage fortune works in the open world, but the Forever version of the effect states that it has no effect inside a raid instance.

Available reports differ on whether the buff works in dungeons. Check the current in-game tooltip and your character's buff in the activity you plan to run.

All Sayge Buffs and Answers

Damage isn't the only fortune available. Sayge can also grant stat, armor and resistance buffs. The result depends on your answers to his two questions.

In the table below, 1 + 2 means choosing the first answer to the first question, followed by the second answer to the next question.

Choose carefully: you cannot immediately ask Sayge for another fortune. Guides currently give different cooldown details, so check his in-game dialogue before planning a second visit.

Darkmoon Prize Tickets: How to Earn Them

Darkmoon Prize Tickets are earned through repeatable item turn-in quests offered by Faire NPCs. You can exchange these tickets for bags, prizes and other rewards.

The requested items include animal parts and items made through professions such as Blacksmithing, Leatherworking and Engineering. You don't need to have the profession yourself: you can collect the requested items, obtain them from another player or buy them from the Auction House.

In WoW Forever, tickets are tracked as a currency, so they don't take up a bag slot.

Examples of Animal-Part Turn-Ins

Different turn-ins have different level and reputation requirements, and lower-tier quests can become unavailable as your reputation rises. Before buying materials in bulk, check which quests your character can currently accept.

Darkmoon Storage Box: A 14-Slot Bag

One of the most useful early rewards is the Darkmoon Storage Box, a 14-slot bag available for 50 tickets.

Once you have enough tickets, speak to Gelvas Grimegate at the Faire. Because the bag is unique, a character can only have one at a time.

Other Ticket Rewards

Darkmoon Prize containers can include different items, so their contents are not a guaranteed way to obtain a particular piece of equipment.

Darkmoon Cards and Decks

Players looking for a longer-term goal can also collect Darkmoon Cards. Each deck is assembled from eight matching cards, from Ace through Eight.

Once a deck is complete, it can start a quest that is turned in to Professor Thaddeus Paleo at the Faire.

The four deck types listed for Forever are:

• Beasts Deck
• Elementals Deck
• Portals Deck
• Warlords Deck

Individual cards can be traded, so players can collect them themselves or look for missing pieces on the Auction House. Wowhead notes that the Forever trinket rewards were still hidden until discovered, so check their current in-game details before spending gold on a complete deck.

Darkmoon Faire Reputation

Many Faire turn-ins also grant reputation with the Darkmoon Faire faction. However, the available quests depend on your current reputation: some lower-tier turn-ins stop being available as you progress.

If you plan to collect both reputation and tickets, check the NPC's available quests before purchasing or crafting a large number of items. Higher-tier turn-ins require different materials and may have their own level requirements.
