Darkmoon Faire Profession Quests in Classic

There is an event called Darkmoon Faire that appears every two weeks. During the event, you can complete quests for each profession.

The profession quests can only be completed once during each Darkmoon Faire, and will grant 5 skill points.

Note: You can currently turn in the the quest twice per faire if you do it once before the weekly reset and once after. This gives you +10 skill instead of 5. Not sure if it's intended or a bug, so take advantage while it lasts.

In-Game Calendar

You can quickly check when the next Darkmoon Faire starts by clicking on the calendar icon on your minimap.

The location of the Faire is on Darkmoon Island. The portals to the Island can be accessed in the following locations:

Shopping List

Some of the quests require additional items, but you can buy all of them from vendors. Don't buy them from the Auction House.

Before heading to Darkmoon Island, make sure to buy these items for your profession quests. They're not available on the island, so forgetting them will mean a trip back to Elwynn Forest or Mulgore.
