WoW Darkmoon Faire: Location

Portals to the Faire can be found just outside the Horde and Alliance cities of Thunder Bluff and Stormwind, meaning you won’t have to run around for eons trying to find them.

Below are the three different ways to enter the Faire:

• Horde: Take the portal at Mulgore
• Alliance: Take the portal at the Goldshire section of Elwynn Forest
• Both: Speak to the Darkmoon Faire Mystic Mage in most major cities. They will teleport you to the carnival for a small price.
  • They will also give you the Darkmoon Adventurer’s Guide, which you need to collect artifacts.

If you’ve had your fun and scored yourself some prizes, you can exit the Faire using the portal at the Southern End of the island, by the docks, or by returning to the portal you used to get there.

Mini-Games

Who goes to the carnival and doesn’t participate in the numerous games on offer?! At the Darkmoon Faire, there are multiple different mini-games that will reward you with gear and help you complete different quests.

In order to participate, you’ll need Darkmoon Game Tokens, with each mini-game charging 1 Game Token to play. These can be bought from Zina Sharpworth (right at the entrance), Sazz Coincatcher (further down the right), and Trixi Sharpworth (next to the Deathmatch Arena).

The playable games are:
