World of Warcraft Darkmoon Faire Guide

The Darkmoon Faire is a mysterious traveling carnival, which roams not only Azeroth but Outland as well. Led by the inimitable Silas Darkmoon, a gnome of dubious heritage and unknown providence, the Faire brings fun, games, prizes, and exotic trinkets of unexpected power to Mulgore, Elwynn Forest, or Terokkar each month.

A variety of amusements can be had by the discerning fairegoer, but the most common attraction is the ticket redemption. A variety of merchants at the Faire collect items from around the worlds in exchange for Darkmoon Faire Prize Ticket. The tickets can, in turn, be saved up and turned in for prizes of varying worth and power. Several different ticket distributors are posted around the Faire, offering tickets for crafted items made by Leatherworkers, Blacksmiths, or Engineers as well as items gathered in the wild such as Evil Bat Eye and Glowing Scorpid Blood. Tickets can be redeemed for many things, from flowers to hold in the off-hand to necklaces of great power.

Many adventurers seek out the Darkmoon Faire to turn in the mystical Darkmoon Cards. Darkmoon Cards come in eight suits, each of which has cards from Ace to Eight. Combining all cards in a suit produces a deck, which will start a quest to return that deck to the Darkmoon Faire. Each of the eight decks produces a different trinket with a different effect, some of which are quite powerful.

The Darkmoon Faire's usual schedule has it arriving on site on the first Friday of the month. For the weekend, the carnies will be seen setting up the midway, and the Faire will actually start early on the following Monday.

New Pets

Pet Frogs!

There is a boy that you have to catch, who is very quick on his feet! He runs around the Darkmoon Faire grounds. His name is Flik. He sells an unlimited supply of tree frog boxes. He likes to run off on you while you're shopping so you have to buy from him quick! The cost for his frogs is 1 gold.

Limited Quantity Wood Frog Pet - Flik also sells a limited quantity Wood Frog Box. This frog has spots and his tongue flicks out. :) The spawn time is around 20 minutes.

Jubjubs!

Unhatched Jubling Egg - this is received after completing the quest, "Spawn of Jubjub." You receive the quest from Morja in the Darkmoon Faire. You must throw a Dark Iron Ale Mug at her feet. This will lure her beloved pet Jubjub out of hiding because that's his favorite drink. After Jubjub's return, quickly speak to Morja again. Then hand her another Dark Iron Ale Mug. In return, she will give you an Unhatched Jubling Egg, which will take 7 days to hatch and you will have your very own Jubjub!

Obtaining Dark Iron Ale Mugs - The ale can be found at the Auction House or purchased in limited quantities in the Blackrock Depths bar from Plugger Spazzring and Ribbly's Crony for 6 silver. The ale is also a 0.1% drop from Grim Patron, Phalanx, and Guzzling Patron. thottbot drop info

Tickets are soulbound and stack to 200.

Figuring out how many items you need to turn-in to obtain enough tickets for the prize you want can be a bit overwelming. The list below shows how many turn-ins allowed for each reputation level.
