Evergreen's Darkmoon Faire FAQ
Amulet of the Darkmoon +10 Strength +19 Agility +10 Stamina Better than onyxia's pendant for all but hunters. Orb of the Darkmoon +11 Stamina +8 Spirit +22 spell damage/Healing Only end-game stuff from the end of MC can beat this for quality. You'll need 1200 tickets to purchase these. Now here is the rub. As your rep goes up with Darkmoon Faire Faction you are constricted in regards to what you can cash in to gain tickets, hence manipualting the system is of the highest priority. First thing is first, IF YOU HAVE A DARKMOON DECK TO CASH IN AND WANT TO GET THE NECKLACE TOO PLEASE REFRAIN FROM CASHING IT IN UNTIL YOU HAVE ACCQUIRED THE NECKLACE FIRST. Cashing in your deck will earn you 150 rep, effectively eating 24 potential tickets if you do this before you reach 2.5k reputation point in neutral. Ok here is how you can go about getting rep. Profession trade in's or hunting. For the first part I'm going to reccomend you get to 2.5k rep via the wonder of hunting. In Alterac Valley & Northern Feralas there are plenty of Harpies(lvl 51-54 in AV, lvl 48-50 in Feralas) which have around a 25% drop rate on Vibrant Plumes, they stack in stacks of 10. These plumes you can cash in 5 at a time for 100 rep and 12 tickets. This means you will want to farm 130 Vibrant Plumes and cash these in. This will earn you 312 Darkmoon tickets, 25% of the way towards your necklace. On top of that these mobs drop a lot of cloth and wicked claws and pots. Very Handy indeed, very Easy to Farm. Now, the last 900 tickets are the tricky part. You have 4 options. 450 Evil Bat eyes from Eastern Plagueland mob grinding. 450 Glowing Scorpid Blood from any lvl 50+ scorpid mob in Blasted Lands/Silithus to name a few. 270 Thorium Widgets if you have Engineering as a profession. 360 Dense Grinding Stones if you have Blacksmithing as a profession. 360 Rugged kits if you have leatherworking as a profession. You need 10 bat eyes/6 widgets/8 dense grinding stones/8 rugged armor kits per cash in for 20 tickets. Therefore; 450 Evil Bat eyes(roughly a 2% drop rate off of bats in EPL and the worst mobs to farm). 450 Glowing Scorpid Blood(Much higher drop rate than bats and generally easier mobs to grind) 810(40 and a half stacks) Thorium Bars + 270(13 and a half stacks) Runecloth 1440(72 stacks) Dense Stone 1800(180 stacks) Rugged Leather Is required to achieve your 900 tickets to reach the magic 1200 total. You can only Cash in Widgets/Kits/Grinding Stone if you have the respective profession at journeyman (50/150 skill). Thus if you are an enchanter/tailor, you have my deepest sympathies. All you have to do in this situation is find a friendly 300 smith/LW/Engineer to make you the Grinding Stone/Kits/Widgets for you to cash in with your measley journeyman skill. If you want or can, you can merely seek to buy the remaining mats needed instead of grind them out with a harvesting profession, at assumed prices of 3g per stack of thorium, 1.5g per stack of runecloth, 1g per stack of dense stone, 1g per stack of rugged leather during non faire times, you are looking at paying between 142g to 180g for your 900 tickets, Cheap for an epic of such quality. The faire sets up in Elwynn and Mulgore on Alternate Months, it sets up on the First Friday of each Month, with it being usable by the following Monday after that Friday if you need to know when the Faire will be up.
