Darkmoon Faire

Hand in grey items for tickets and buy the Storage Box first, because it is the cheapest useful prize and every character needs it only once. Each run lasts seven days and alternates between Elwynn Forest and Mulgore.

Where it is

The Faire opens on a Monday early in each month, as the client’s schedule sets it, and closes the following Sunday, so each run is seven days. It moves between Elwynn Forest and Mulgore every month.

In Elwynn Forest the grounds are just south of Goldshire. In Mulgore they are southwest of Thunder Bluff.

The Alliance should plan around the Elwynn months. Reaching Mulgore means crossing into Horde land: one route runs through Menethil Harbor, Theramore and the Barrens (shorter, for level 40 and up), the other through Stranglethorn and Ratchet (longer, safer).

Sayge’s fortunes

Sayge asks two questions. Your two answers pick one of eight buffs, each lasting 2 hours. The first question has four answers: (1) Slay the Man, (2) Turn him over to liege, (3) Confiscate the corn, (4) Let him go and have the corn. Each leads to a second question with three answers.

We pick Damage for Rogues and Hunters, Intelligence for Priests, Druids, Mages, Warlocks and Shamans who heal or cast (Spirit if mana regeneration is what runs out), Strength or Armor for Protection Warriors and Paladins (Armor when tanking elites), Stamina when health is the limit.
