The Darkmoon Faire is Here Again

The Darkmoon Faire is Here Again

Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Step right up and prepare to be amazed! Welcome to the greatest show on Azeroth! Experience the wonders that the Darkmoon Faire has uncovered in this vast and mysterious world!

Darkmoon Faire dates will show up in your in-game calendar on the first week of every month. Barkers and displays will also appear in every capital city to herald the arrival of the Faire. Darkmoon mages in capital cities and on Darkmoon Island will also be around to help you travel between the Faire and your faction’s capital cities -- for some coin, naturally.

This month’s Darkmoon Faire runs from May 6 until May 12. Check your in-game calendar for exact times, or learn more about the Darkmoon Faire here.

@Arryk: Indeed, you can't GIVE those things away anymore, I've tried. I even have stopped picking new ones up entirely and just let them sit on the corpse. If bosses like Morchok just dropped a random darkmoon quest item instead of always the same one, everything would be fine.

Remember, those transmogrification sets can be sold if you have extra prize tickets you don't have any use for!

Does anyone know if the achievements like Darkmoon Dungeoneer and Darkmoon Despoiler are going to be reset again? I would like to complete them but I'm always 1-2 items short and then they get reset the following month.
Login to rate
@Urahara: Just don't turn any in until you have all the items so you get it for sure, happened to me one week and this is what i did the next month. But I have no idea if it will reset or not, I'd personally just do that to be safe

@Urahara: they currently reset every month unless/until Blizzard decides to change it. If you want the achievement collect all your turn-ins before you you go. Happened to me one time and I checked into how it works. Would have been nice to know that before I handed anything in.

They claimed after the 2nd month that they'd fix it. Third month came along, they hadn't fixed it to not reset.

Since I have plenty of some of them, I'm going to turn them in each time anyway, until I have all 9 of them to turn in at once (just missing one, which I've turned in twice now in previous months before I decided not to trust Blizzard assurances any more).

I understand WHY they reset (they're simply based on quest completion, which gets reset each month so you can turn them in again), but if Blizzard wasn't going to change the way it works, they shouldn't have said it would be "fixed", and they should clearly describe how it works on the achievement text.

Dear Blizz,

Please please tell the Darkmoon Fair construction workers to hurry up and open the closed tents. Who wants to go to the fair when it's missing the freak-show?

@Zegasm: You haven't been missing much.
90% of the fair is still under construction and 90% of the island is barren.

@Shalura: From the blog post above, "This month’s Darkmoon Faire runs from May 6 until May 12." :) We thought a reminder of when it rolls into town might be helpful.
