Darkmoon Faire

The Darkmoon Faire was added with the last content patch, but hadn't been seen yet. Rumor has it that the faire only appears one week per month in Mulgore, then one month later in Elwynn Forest. So each side only gets the faire for one week every two months, although you can try to sneak into the faire when it is in enemy territory.

Well, right now the Darkmoon Faire is setting up tents in Elwynn Forest, just south of Goldshire, can't miss it. And yes, they are setting up tents, you will see NPC's working on unpacking. The faire event itself will follow a bit later, I sure hope they start this afternoon, this being Saturday.

Once the Darkmoon Faire is up, there will be NPC offering "tickets" as rewards for gathering various monster parts. With these tickets you can then buy various equipment. This quest type is available to everybody, even lower levels. Then there is a high-level type of quest, which has already started. High-level mobs above level 50 all over the world are now dropping blue playing cards as a rare drop. You need to collect all cards from one suit for a deck. At the faire you can turn them in and transform them into a powerful trinket. For example there is one which at every death gives you a 10% chance to be resurrected. Unfortunately the cards are really rare, and sell for crazy prices at the auction house, so I personally won't bother.
