When Is The Darkmoon Faire In WoW Forever?
The Darkmoon Faire will begin construction on the first Friday of the month, with the Darkmoon Faire opening its doors on the following Monday.
The Darkmoon Faire occurs once a month and lasts a full week before the faire workers wrap up shop.
Players can check their in-game calendar to see when the faire will return and where it will be located. The calendar will tell you the exact time the faire opens and where it will be each time.
Where Is The Darkmoon Faire In WoW Forever?
The event alternates between two locations: Elwynn Forest and Mulgore, essentially giving the Alliance and Horde turns on home field advantages.
Always Netural: Although it might be a bit harder to get to, you can still visit the Darkmoon Faire in the opposite faction's zone, as the faire workers are all neutral.
How To Get Darkmoon Prize Tickets In WoW Forever
The primary way that you will acquire Darkmoon Prize Tickets will be by turning in certain items to the NPCs around the area.
Most items are crafted from professions, but you do not need to have that profession to turn them in. Players can also turn in animal parts from beasts as well.
Important: Every quest hand-in requires you to be a minimum Character Level and once you reach a certain Reputation with the Darkmoon Faire, you will no longer be able to access certain quests.

How To Get The Darkmoon Storage Box (14-Slot Bag)
The fastest way to get the 50 Darkmoon Faire Tickets required for the the Darkmoon Storage Box is as follows:
- Hand in The Darkmoon Faire intro quest for 5 Tickets
- Hand in 18 Green Iron Bracers (completing the quest 6x) for 48 Tickets
Running The Numbers: At the time of writing, Green Iron Bracers appear to have the most efficient ticket:silver ratio with a selling price of ~15s on the Auction house, so 0.17 Tickets per silver. Be sure to check the various items when you come to do this though as this may have changed!
Note that the price for the materials required to acquire the Tickets for the Darkmoon Storage Box is roughly the same as just acquiring a 14-slot bag on the AH so unfortunately there isn't a bargain to be had at the moment!
What Do You Get From The Minor, Lesser Or Greater Darkmoon Prizes?
The Minor Darkmoon Prize, Lesser Darkmoon Prize and Greater Darkmoon Prize all contain an assortment of items you can obtain, the vast majority of which are uncommon (green) BoE items. However, each of the Prizes has a chance to contain special Rare (blue) items:
| Prize | Rare Items |
| Minor Darkmoon Prize | Drakewing Bands, Keller's Girdle, Starsight Tunic |
| Lesser Darkmoon Prize | The Ziggler |
| Greater Darkmoon Prize | Stoneraven, Pattern: Mooncloth Shoulders |
Disclaimer: We aren't currently aware of any changes to the prize rewards in Forever but will update this section if we learn of any!
