The Darkmoon Faire

The Darkmoon Faire will alternate months between Mulgore and Elwynn Forest, starting in each location the first week of the month then off in transit the rest of the month. You can turn in Blacksmith or Engineer items or animal drops for reputation points and tickets and then turn in the tickets for rewards. (You must be a Blacksmith or an Engineer to turn in Blacksmith or Engineer items.)

Frog Egg Quest:
"If you talked to the female orc in the darkmoon faire, she says her frog ran away to look for dark iron ale. if you go to BRD and get some ale you can use it to pull the frog to her. if you succeed she'll offer a quest for 30 seconds which requires a dark iron ale to complete, then go back to wondering where her frog went. After you turn in the 2nd DI Ale, she gives you "Unhatched Jubling Egg" which has, I kid you not, a 7-day cooldown before you can use it. I was finally able to click it about an hour ago (got it on the first day of test when the faire was already set up in mulgore) and it created an item called "A Jubling's Tiny Home" or something like that. It's a passive pet like cats, prairie dogs, etc. except it's a huge, fat orange and blue frog named "Jubling" that croaks when you click him. And he's lvl 5."

The eyes do not drop yet do they? NM saw they drop already.

I like the
1200 Tickets - Orb of the Darkmoon [Epic Neck +19sta, +8spi, Increase damage and healing by 12]

((1200 * 10) * 2) / 20 (assuming 50% drop rate) = 1200 bats to kill

I better start killing bats imo, and hope the drop rate isn't 10%

Post by **Fenz** » 12 Jul 2005, 08:43

I killed 5 bats and got no drop. I gave up.

Seems like another worthless event

5 bats solo !?! Nerf Fenz.
Did you manage to single pull them ?

Can you get the eye's while in a raid group ?

Droprate is 30% or so IIRC, so farming bats isn't worthwhile.

The best way to get tickets is by mass buying Dense Stone and Thorium Bars:

- Dense Stone:

8 Dense Grinding Stone == 20 Tickets
480 Dense Grinding Stone == 1200 Tickets
1 Dense Grinding Stone == 4 Dense Stone
480 Dense Grinding Stone == 1920 Dense Stone

Dense Stone goes for ~50-100 silver a stack (before the patch goes live), and 96 stacks are needed. So this way would cost around 50-100g, provided the materials are available.

- Thorium Bars:

6 Thorium Widget == 20 Tickets
360 Thorium Widget == 1200 Tickets
1 Thorium Widget = 3 Thorium Bar (plus 1 Runecloth)
360 Thorium Widget == 1080 Thorium Bar (plus some cloth)

Thorium is more expensive than Dense Stones, I think it was 2-3g per stack. You'd need 54 stacks, so it would be ~150g (plus 360 Runecloth).

I think Prinz or Fenz said something about these quests not being repeatable though, that would change this abit ofcourse

.

I'm still waiting for the 'epic' events & battles they advertise about everywhere

Unless they mean the Elemental invasions by that *cough*

xen · Post by **xen** » 12 Jul 2005, 12:58

The invasion in Winterspring got me two Essence of Water (thx Virt for notifying me).

Not only that Xen, by afaik those quests can only be done by peeps with that tradeskill.
So grinding stones only for Flame and Zilver for instance, since they're blacksmiths.

Really odd how'd you get the tickets then though...

Breeze · Post by **Breeze** » 13 Jul 2005, 09:42

I guess kill 3600 bats then.
everyone can turn those in.

Maybe becomming a blacksmith is faster :p

xen · Post by **xen** » 13 Jul 2005, 11:12

Is skill1 blacksmith sufficient to access those turn-in quests?

Post by **sneek** » 13 Jul 2005, 11:16

So what exactly are you planning on dropping if that's the case Xen?

300 Enchanting and all the recipes or 300 Tailoring and all the recipes
