In its new version of 4.3, the Darkmoon Faire sits on an island in an unknown location, separated from the rest of Azeroth. It is accessed via a portal, below the Pitons-du-tonnerre or south of Hurlevent. On this island, you will find daily quests as well as some quests, related to the profession, which can be completed once per appearance of the fair. Because here, this event is temporary and appears every first Saturday of the month and lasts only 1 week. You can use the calendar included with World of Warcraft to verify the next spawn.
Repeatable quests
There are 5 daily quests, awarding a Darkmoon game bundle and 250 reputation. This bundle still contains 1 Darkmoon Prize Coupon as well as a low chance to drop one of the many items on sale.
These quests are small, fun games that require a Darkmoon token in a token bag (20) or a token pouch (5) to participate. These bags are purchased from token vendors, along the main aisle (in small pointy tents) and the price varies with levels and reputation, for my little goblin (so taking advantage of the exalted reputation even though I am not) the big bag is at 2 ”56. For reasons of practicality, I strongly advise you to link the keys of the games to a keyboard shortcut, otherwise aim and type, all with the mouse, risk of be complicated.
- Chariotte Commander
- Target: turtle
- It's time to knock
- He shoots and… he scores!
- The humanoid cannonball
- Firebird Challenge
- The Mad Race
A Pet Battle Quest has also been added in 5.1 to take from Jeremy Feasel: Darkmoon Pet Battle offering a Darkmoon Pet Supplies bag that the Darkmoon Eye pet can be in. A second is to be taken from 6.0 from Christoph VonFeasel who rewards superior supplies for Darkmoon pets, which can contain Syd the squid.
Chariotte Commander
We will have to kill 30 targets while avoiding being hit by the other chariots or by the airship. Go for it without ceasing while pulling at all goes, all will be well! If you collect 45 points in a match, you will complete Super Carton Commander which rewards a Darkmoon Carton Command.
Target: turtle
You have to place 3 rings on the peak of the turtle shell. It moves all the time and randomly so aiming with precision is not very helpful. Spam sending the ring around the turtle, it should go through with only a few rings lost. By throwing 10 rings at the turtle, you turn in Triumph of the turtle throw and loot Darkmoon Ring Launcher.
It's time to knock
With the big sledgehammer, you have to hit the Gnolls that appear without hitting the stunning dolls. If you tap on Hogger, you earn 3 points instead of 1 for classic Gnolls. As you can see from my glowing screen, my raid add-on, Deadly Boss Mods, is pointing me to Hogger appearances. No need to go around the barrels, you can walk through them.
He shoots and… he scores!
You have to shoot 25 times at a target marked with a green symbol. To achieve this, you have to stay static once a position is found (you should not climb too much on the bar, otherwise it does not work) and use the mouse to turn right / left. There is an achievement, Reflex Shot, which requires you to shoot the target very quickly (1 sec after targeting appears), thus obtaining 3 points on the target (instead of 1). Spam the hit, you should be able to place a second shot right after. When I made my second shot, I go directly to one of the other 2 targets, I have a one in two chance of having my reflex shot like that!
The humanoid cannonball
You must accumulate 5 gun target points by landing near the target. This might be the most technical quest to master, but once you have a landmark on the ground, you'll see it's pretty straightforward! Put your camera vertically, to see the ground under your character and jump just when you pass the pontoon, with the momentum you should land close to the target! There is an achievement asking to land in full, courage, with a little practice, you will see it pass. If you mess up, on the bank, think about talking to the Mélébou Teleportologist who will teleport you directly to the foot of the cannon for the modest sum of 50 pa.
Firebird Challenge
This mini-game involves passing through rings of flame on a flaming phoenix using the Wings of Flame upgrade. Each time you pass through a ring, you gain an additional 10 seconds of flight. To succeed in the quest, you have to cross at least 15 rings. 3 achievements are linked to this race, asking to pass through 10 rings (High aerobatics), then 20 rings (Master of the rings) and finally 50 rings (Offspring of Alysrazor). The final stage rewards the Blazing Wings toy.
Crazy race
This race on the beach requires to rally poles as quickly as possible. There are different elements to take to accelerate (boots and kinds of springs) and others to avoid (kinds of electric wires). Our mount has a unique spell, Banner Jump, which can be used intelligently at the right time to jump to a portico (which otherwise does not have to be crossed). Different races are planned after 6.1:
- March 2015
- April 2015
- May 2015
- June 2015
- Darkmoon Driver with the Race Strider which rewards a Fire Eater's Vial

Other quests
There are other quests related to the fair that should not be overlooked. First, check to see if you have a Darkmoon Handbook in your bag. If not, speak to Selina Dourman just to the left as you enter the fair, in front of a small pointed tent.
Once you have this book in your bags, you will be able to discover unique artefacts in battlefields and on dungeon or raid bosses:

Kerri Hicks also gives a quest, Test Your Strength, which asks to bring back 250 macabre trophies, collected from all your victims (solo, group or raid). You can do this the traditional way, as you go about your daily activities, or you can kill large piles of weak monsters. There were a few tricks previously but it doesn't seem to work very well since we're 90 ... if anyone knows a way to go faster, I'm in for it.

A rabbit spawns randomly (every 36 hours) in the cave to the southwest. This boss used to hurt a lot even if it is not too much the case now at level 100. As a reward, he gives a single Darkmoon Rabbit so you will have to rely on luck. His death also validates an achievement, This Rabbit is Dynamite !.
