Wow new moon fair. New Darkmoon Fair

In patch 4.3, a new Darkmoon Faire was introduced. She used to come to one of the three places every month and, frankly, was quite boring. Now everything has changed - the fair has acquired its own island and has become much more popular. This guide will help you navigate the new Darkmoon Faire.

?

The time of the fair has not changed. It starts on the first Sunday of every month.

Where is the Darkmoon Fair held??

In patch 4.3, the fair got its own island. To get there, you need to talk to the Darkmoon Fortune Teller at any major city your faction. This NPC teleports you to the fairground's original location: Elwynn Forest (Alliance) / Mulgore (Horde). There you will find a portal, passing through which you will find yourself on a new island of the new moon. It remains only to run along the path to the fair itself.

Tasks

It would seem that the Darkmoon Faire offers players the fulfillment a large number various tasks. In fact, there are relatively few tasks. In the guide, we conditionally divided them into two categories: daily and those that can be completed only once during one fair. Let's start with the latter.

One-time tasks

Professions

Characters with professions can complete the corresponding tasks at the fair - one for each profession learned, including all secondary skills. The tasks are very simple; usually, you just need to collect some parts or cook something with a profession.

As a reward for completing tasks for the main professions, you will receive 4 Darkmoon Prize Tickets each, for secondary skills - 3 coupons each.

Task list :

  • Enchanting: Scrap Disposal
  • Tailoring: Flags, flags everywhere!
  • Leatherworking: Prize Making
  • Blacksmithing: Baby Needs New Horseshoes
  • Inscription: Foretelling the Future
  • Alchemy: Bubble Cocktail
  • Jewelcrafting: Let the Fair Sparkle
  • Engineering: Speaking of Tanks
  • Herbalism: Healing Herbs
  • Mining: Reuse and recycling
  • Skinning: Skinning
  • Archeology: Fun for the little ones
  • Cooking: Crispy Frogs
  • Fishing: Seafood Hot Dog
  • First Aid: Get workers back on their feet

Collecting rare artifacts

A fun quest in which you need to score 30 points in the allotted time. There will be a small field in front of you, on which 9 barrels are located. Mannequins will appear from them, which after a while again hide in barrels. There are three types of mannequins: a large gnoll, a regular gnoll, and a child. Your task is to beat the gnolls with a hammer, but do not touch the children. For a normal gnoll, 1 point is awarded, for a large one - 3 points. If you hit a child, you will be stunned for a few seconds as a penalty.

You need to climb into the cannon in the middle of the island, which will soon fire at you. The character will fly towards the water on special wings that will support him in the air. In the water you will see a circle marked by debris, where you need to land. You need to press the button of the panel that appears in order to fall into the water. You have to time everything so that you land exactly in the circle. 5 points are awarded for hitting the very center, 3 points for hitting the circle, and 1 point for hitting near the circle. Your task is to score 5 points. If you didn't get them right away, don't worry, the dwarf on the beach will be able to teleport you back to the cannon, where you can try your luck again. This task usually takes the most tokens.

Driving a small steam tank, you must destroy 30 targets in the allotted time. The task is somewhat complicated by the presence of enemy tanks and airships that can knock you out. To avoid this - use the boost when they aim at your tank.

Classic shooting range. In a certain time, you need to knock out 30 points in the dash. There will be 3 targets that will alternately be highlighted. You have to shoot at the illuminated target. For a quick hit you get 2 points, for a regular hit you get 1 point.

You will be given 9 rings that you can throw at a turtle with a special pole on its back. You need three rings to get on this pole. The task is complicated by the movement of the turtle - it can easily move away from the place where you threw the ring. However, she does not move actively and the task usually does not cause difficulties.

Reputation

Previously, reputation with the Darkmoon Faire was very difficult to level, since the only way to turn in decks was very expensive in terms of gold. At the updated fair, reputation is pumped much easier.

For each completed task, the character will receive +250 reputation with the fair (excluding bonuses). Thus, reputation can be upgraded to Exalted in 2-3 fairs.

Achievements

The new Darkmoon Faire brings 13 new achievements to the game. Most of them do not cause difficulties, but with some you will have to tinker.

Darkmoon Achievements

The easiest of all achievements. It is given immediately, as soon as your character is on the Island of the Dark Moon.

The achievement is given to those who ride a pony at the Darkmoon Faire. The pony is located at the very end of the fair, next to the pens for animals - the coordinates are (56.8 81.5). To ride it and get the achievement, you must have level 20 and learned the skill of riding.

You need to complete all five Darkmoon Faire daily quests listed above.

Achievement is given to players who have completed 6 profession tasks. Since the maximum number of possible professions for one character is exactly six - for this achievement you need to have 2 main professions and all 4 secondary skills.

Try all the drinks and dishes of the fair. Everything needed for the achievement can be purchased from Silannia (drinks) and Thunderhorn Stomp (dishes).

Keep in mind that you need level 85 to consume the Sasparilla and the Sea Dog, so only max level characters will be able to complete the achievement.

Completing the daily task "In the bull's-eye!" you need to hit the target immediately after the mark appears above it. To do this, most often you need to start using the shot before the mark appears. For such a hit, 2 points are immediately awarded, and the inscription “Quickly, yes aptly!” Appears.

During the daily quest "Cannon Man" you need to hit the very center of the target, for this they also immediately give 5 points. Over time, this achievement will most likely work itself out, but if you are in a hurry, there are quite a few tricks described on Wowhead for completing it.

Complete all 3 tasks to turn in artifacts from the battlefields.

4. Obtaining effects from Warge

To get a beneficial effect from Warges, you need to talk to him.

In the first dialogue with Warge there will be 4 points (numbered from 1 to 4). Regardless of your choice, the second dialogue will have 3 items (numbered 1 to 3). After the second dialogue, you will receive an effect.

The various effects are shown below, with an indication of the order in which the items in the dialogs are selected. The same items always give the same effect.

  • Dark Lot of Vorzhey - armor: 1-3 or 4-3
  • Dark Lot of Warge - Mind: 2-2 or 4-1

After receiving the effect, you will not be able to talk to Warge for several hours.

5. Test your strength

Each month, you can test your strength by completing the Test Your Strength quest given by Kerry Hicks.

To do this, you need to kill 250 creatures that give experience or honor. At the same time, you should have the Darkmoon Faire Handbook in your bag. Rewarded with 10 Darkmoon Prize Tickets

6. Profession leveling

Every month you will be able to complete professional tasks (2 tasks for main professions and 4 tasks for secondary professions), even if you have already reached the maximum skill level.

If you completed the task in the previous month, the new one will be available on the new day (10-00 Moscow time), and not immediately after the fair opens.

Quests are given to characters who have upgraded a profession skill to at least 75. If during the fair you reset a profession and upgrade a new skill to 75, you will be able to complete a second professional task corresponding to the new profession. This technique can be used to accelerate the receipt of the Darkmoon Prize Ticket.

Below is a list of all available jobs. All of them are extremely simple, so we will not dwell on their implementation.

    • Herbalism: Healing Herbs
    • Mining: Reuse and recycling
    • Skinning: Skinning

    • Cooking: Crispy Frogs
    • First Aid: Get workers back on their feet
    • Fishing: Seafood Hot Dog

Quests related to Alchemy, Archeology, Cooking, Inscription, Leatherworking, and Tailoring will require you to leave the island.

6.1. Achievement

Completing 6 job assignments will earn the Help at the Fair achievement.

7. Mini-games

For the most part, Darkmoon rewards are purchased with a Darkmoon Prize Voucher. To receive coupons, you must complete daily tasks related to mini-games. There are currently 8 mini-games in the fair, including two types of races. Perhaps there will be more games in the future, because. some fair buildings are not yet completed.

Each daily quest gives 1 coupon (maximum 8 coupons per day) and 250 food. reputation with the fair (maximum 2000 reputation per day).

Although you can participate in the mini-games indefinitely, you will have to pay a Darkmoon Token each time.

7.1. Darkmoon Tokens

1 Darkmoon Token is required to play the game. Tokens can be bought from Zina Muhlezenniker (right at the entrance), Sazz Money Grab (center right) and Trixie Muhlezenniker (next to the arena). The prices are:

  • Pouch of Tokens: 5 tokens for 60 silver;
  • Bag of tokens: 20 tokens for 1 gold and 92 silver (cheaper).

Tokens can also be obtained as a reward for completing professional tasks (in a limited amount).

7.2. Gnollboy

This game is related to the daily quest of the same name (Gnollboy). There are 9 barrels on the playground, in which three types of creatures randomly appear. The player must attack the creatures by hitting them with the hammer (key 1) before they disappear. The screenshot shows three types of creatures:

  • hitting a small gnoll in a bonnet will stun you for a few seconds and will not give you any points;
  • hitting a medium gnoll will give you 1 point;
  • hitting the big gnoll will give you 3 points.

To complete the task, you need to score 30 points. If you did not manage to score the required number of points at one time, be aware that when you leave the playing field, the points are not reset, and just play again.

7.3. Darkmoon Cannon

Shooting the Darkmoon Cannon is related to the daily quest Cannon Man . The player must climb into the cannon, which will shoot them into the air. After that, he needs to press the key 1 in time to fall to the right place, marked with a circle on the water in the fair docks (in the south of the island):

  • landing outside the circle will cause you to be stunned for a few seconds and receive no points;
  • landing closer to the outer edge of the circle will give you 1 point;
  • landing closer to the center of the circle will give you 3 points;
  • landing exactly in the center will give you 5 points (and the Sniper Demolitionist achievement).

To complete a daily task, you need to score 5 points, i.е. it is enough to land once in the center. It is quite difficult, so many players need 2-3 tries. After failed attempt you can talk to Teleporter Fotzlebulb and he will teleport you back to the cannon.

This mini-game is very demanding on the quality of the connection, so players with high latency fall by all the time.

7.4. Tyr

In the fairground shooting range, you can complete the daily quest Bullseye! . There are 3 targets on the wall of the shooting range. Every few seconds, one of them is marked with a green arrow. The player must turn to the target and press the 1 key before the arrow goes out.

To complete the task, you need to hit 25 targets. While the arrow above the target is lit, you can shoot twice, thus earning 2 points. You can also try to guess which target will light up next and initiate the shot early, but if you don't, you'll have to turn very quickly towards the active target. Targets are activated at intervals of a few seconds. If the arrow is off, you cannot shoot. With that said, it usually takes several attempts to complete a task.

7.5. tank battles

Tank battles are related to the daily quest Tank Commander. There are targets in the quest zone that you need to hit by facing them and pressing the 1 key. The goal is to hit 30 targets. This can be done the first time, but for most players it takes several attempts.

It must also be remembered that there are enemy tanks on the field. They can be killed in the same way as regular targets (by facing them and pressing 1). If you have an enemy tank and the main target in front of you, you can hit them at the same time. A hit enemy tank will most likely attack you. Destroy him faster than he can destroy you! If your tank is broken, start the game over and remember that when you leave the playing field, the counter does not reset.

If you become a target for an enemy tank, i.e. an arrow appeared above your tank, press the 2 key. This will speed up your tank a little, and the enemy will not be able to hit it.

7.6. Ring throwing

Daily Quest Goal: Turtle is for those who love throwing rings. The goal is to string 3 rings onto a pole attached to the tortoise shell. In this case, the turtle is in the arena, and the player must stand outside it. To throw the ring, press 1, aim at the turtle and press the left mouse button.

Even if you aim very accurately, there is no guarantee that the ring will hit its intended purpose. This is due to the mechanics of the mini-game. Thus, we recommend waiting for the turtle to stop and then throwing all the rings at it, hoping for luck.

7.7. Summon Flamewing

Summoning the Flamewing is another Darkmoon daily quest. At the start of the game, you gain the Flaming Wings effect, which allows you to fly for 10 seconds. If during this time you fly through the ring, the effect will be updated. The goal of the task is to collect 15 fire rings. If you can't do it in one flight, give Ziggy Sparkle another Darkmoon Faire Token and keep playing.

7.8. Race

The starting lines of the races are located on both sides of the fair pier. Cool Race is on the right and Big Cool Race is on the left.

  • The administrator of Hard Race is named Mally Earnhard. Contact her to take the quest Welcome to the Darkmoon Races and get your first taste of racing. After that, you will be able to complete the Cool Race quest and receive a daily reward. If one run isn't enough for you, try Let's Race! .
  • The administrator of the Big Hard Race is called Patty Hardworking. Contact her to pick up the Big Cool Race daily quest. If one run isn't enough for you, complete More Cool Races! .

To successfully participate in the race, you need to run across the island through the checkpoints, and then return to the pier. Before the start of the race, you must choose your transport. Currently, there are two types of transport with different properties.

  • Racing Strider:
    • Jump to the flag allows you to quickly move to the flag and save time (see screenshot);
    • Enhanced Lasso allows you to pick up an empowering item, eliminating the need to run to it (see details below);
    • Jumping towards a rider allows you to catch up with another rider.
  • Rocketeer:
    • Accelerators provide significant acceleration and immunity to stun;
    • Giant Jump allows you to jump long distances;
    • A missile salvo will disorient nearby airships that are trying to stun you;
    • in addition, you can cancel the parachute from Giant Jump.

Each route has power-up items to help you get to the finish line faster, flags to give you a boost, as well as barbed wire to make you dizzy and airships to try to stun the racers. Below are screenshots of all the listed objects.

    Ghosts of the fair and Silas:

    The Darkmoon Fair is run by Silas Darkmoon, a seemingly harmless dwarf. You must have seen ghosts on this island. There are only 7 of them. Please note that in order to see ghosts, you need
    be a ghost (die)! Here are their names and brief information:
    - Sitera Lost(Gathering brushwood, she saw something in the bushes, lost
    consciousness and never woke up.
    - Kupp Zlatolyub(Goblin ghost wandering on the mountain).
    - Arlon Hardhoof(A tauren guard who worked for the Fair as long as she
    remembers (or rather, no longer remembers)).
    - Zazla (Troll Ghost who survived the shipwreck and was rescued by Silas
    from his captive enemies).
    - Brandon Paulson(Very curious ghost of a guy who ran away from home
    after his father promised to kill him).
    - Franklin Jenner(The ghost of a soldier who joined the Fair to escape the horrors of war).
    - Martha Weller(The ghost of a woman who, even after death, continues to care for the wounded and sick).
    Silas Darkmoon is connected to them in one way or another. And it looks like it's not as simple as it can be
    to appear.

So, what's in store for you at the Darkmoon Faire with the release of Update 4.3?

    Is it old again?

    No no and one more time no. The new Darkmoon Fair will not be the same as before; moreover, it will now be held in a completely different place. The management of the fair has remained the same, but the fair itself has changed a lot. Coupons? You no longer need old coupons - you can safely tear them up, because we will now have new ones! Down with everything old, everything new - a green light. Many new tasks await you! We have big changes here in general - now we have our own island, but what a! shrouded in mist Mysterious Island New Moons are one big mystery in and of themselves. It's an amazing and wonderful place, and you won't even believe the lengths we had to go to get it... not to mention who we had to negotiate with. But it is not important. Let me tell you about what the new Darkmoon Fair is all about.

    All new! All amazing!

    Watch a performance on the chic main stage or watch the fireworks show - but don't stay too long in one place or you may miss out on the many amazing events that await you at every turn. Take a peek into the magical menagerie, learn your future from the inimitable Warge, ride a pony, try new fairground delicacies - and that's not all!

    Of course, the Darkmoon Fair is not only about fantastic performances and culinary delights. You'll still be able to turn in your Darkmoon cards - but you're not going to the fair just for the cards, when there's so much to see... and win. Yes, yes, win! Do you like dancing bears? Everyone loves dancing bears - even the bears themselves. How about a dancer bear that you can ride?

    But that's not all! We have prepared new cute and funny pets for you, including a monkey in a fez, tons of professional recipes, toys, Balloons, souvenirs, gourmet foods and drinks, heirlooms for "kids" and even replicas of ancient armor to transmogrify modern gear. You can also earn new achievements and titles. All you need to earn these amazing rewards is a Darkmoon Faire gift voucher and, of course, a good reputation with the event hosts. How to rake more of these coupons? It's good that you asked - now we'll tell you!

    Come on, come on! Try your luck! There are no losers!

    How are our games? We are great with games: there are a whole bunch of them, and they are not difficult at all - even an orc can master it. All you need to play the games is to purchase Darkmoon Faire Tokens. Everyone can play and win. Learning to play is as easy as shelling pears, but in order to reach the heights of skill, of course, you will have to practice. Beat gnolls, take part in tank battles, fire cannons, throw rings, try your luck at the shooting range - test your skills in any of these games and win Darkmoon Faire gift vouchers. The better you play, the more coupons you can win! Once a month you will have such an opportunity, and there will be no limit to the fun, because you can play until you drop. But this is far from the only way to get rich!

    Darkmoon Faire Handbook

    This is your ticket to the world of great wealth. You see, here's the thing - we need all sorts of miscellaneous gizmos that are of little value to a mighty hero like you. We call them New Moon artifacts; they come in many varieties and are found throughout Azeroth. The Darkmoon Faire Handbook will help you find these artifacts as you explore dungeons, slay monsters, and fight on the battlefield. Without a guide, you just won't notice them - otherwise it will help you focus on finding the things we need. And it doesn't matter if you just got level 10 or some of the most powerful monsters have already fallen from your hand - everyone can find what we need. And no, you absolutely will not need to go in search of these artifacts to the ends of the world. We will invite you to find one of these artifacts for us every month. What is your benefit? Don't be afraid, you won't be left behind. By turning in a Darkmoon Artifact, you'll earn experience (experience is rarely a bad thing!), improve your reputation, and possibly earn Darkmoon Faire gift vouchers as well.

    Oh, and best of all, you can use the Darkmoon Faire Handbook to travel to Darkmoon Island during the fair season!

    How about a job in show business?

    It would be interesting to look behind the scenes and find out how one of the best holiday events Azeroth, m? Let's say right away that everything is far from being so carefree and rosy there - you need to treat animals, cook food and constantly fix something. If you want to help the show organizers and put your skills to good use, we will be very happy! You'll be able to gain experience, Darkmoon Gift Vouchers, and even increase your crafting skills - up to five skill points in a single Faire week if you do your job well!

    New Moon duels

    Like any festival of this magnitude, the Darkmoon Faire also has its dark side. If you think that working at the machine is the lot of losers, you can try yourself in a competition for real braves - for the first time since the Gurubashi arena! Pit Master Pei has prepared a huge chest full of Darkmoon Faire trophies and gift vouchers. The jackpot draw takes place approximately once every three hours. Naturally, everyone wants to receive such a prize, so if you also intend to compete for it, you will have to prove that there are no fighters equal to you in the arena.

    Well, what are you, the fair is completely safe. The main thing - do not go into the dark forest.

    Quietly, without panic. Yes, Darkmoon Island looks a little creepy in places, but the fair itself is completely safe - except, perhaps, for a duel pit. This I guarantee you. Moreover, the territory of the fair is a sanctuary - we do not want the holiday to be spoiled by someone's showdown. True, the forests around are a completely different matter. I would not like to scare you with stories that many went there and never returned, but ... many went there and never returned. So, when you leave the fair, be on the lookout. And don't say later that you weren't warned!

    Make a note on your calendar

    Now that you know what's in store for the new Darkmoon Faire, you won't want to miss it. Just check the in-game calendar periodically - the dates for the Darkmoon Faire will be marked on it (this is the first week of each month). Also, announcements about the upcoming fair will be placed in each of the capitals, and barkers will invite everyone to it. Silas Darkmoon is even going to organize a mailing list so that no one misses the holiday!

    Drop to the place?

    During the first week of each month, fairground locations will open in Elwynn Forest and Mulgore - through the Darkmoon Portals located there, you can travel to Darkmoon Isle for free and take part in the celebration!

    Darkmoon mages in the capitals and on Darkmoon Isle will also be available to offer you their services of moving from the fair to various capital cities and back (although this time not for free).

    The new Darkmoon Faire is moving to Darkmoon Island in Update 4.3. Do not miss!
