WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Darkmoon Faire In Phase 3: How To Prepare For This Event?
As a long-standing but still very popular old MMORPG, the commemorative craze brought by the 20th anniversary celebration of World of Warcraft, which began in 2024, has been successfully continued to this day through Classic 20th Anniversary server and will continue to receive updates!
In order to ensure that WoW Classic 20th can continue to attract new and old players to join, the game will be released in 6 phases in sequence. Currently in progress is phase 2, which started on January 9, but soon you will usher in the exciting phase 3 on March 20.
The core new content of phase 3 is expected to be Blackwing Lair and Darkmoon Faire. Fortunately, we have brought you information about Blackwing Lair based on predictions not long ago, so this time we will focus on helping you prepare for the experience of Darkmoon Faire.
What Is Darkmoon Faire?
You can think of Darkmoon Faire as an event in WoW 20th Anniversary, which is usually held once a month and is open in only one place at a time - the location usually rotates between Elwynn Forest and Mulgore. There are many exotic merchants who will travel with Darkmoon Faire’s owner Silas Darkmoon to bring you goodies that you can’t usually see. At that time, you will be able to exchange the goods you want through WoW Anniversary Gold or Darkmoon Faire tickets.
Specific Opening Time Of Darkmoon Faire
The opening time of the faire is usually scheduled on the first day of each month, and it is guaranteed to be Monday as much as possible, so it may start setting up at the end of the previous month or even open directly. If you want to participate in this event, you must pay more attention to the key time nodes. Since the opening time of phase 3 of WoW 20th Anniversary is March 20, this time it may be opened in advance on the basis of the end of the month to allow you to experience it.
Generally speaking, Darkmoon Faire will arrive at the corresponding location on Friday and start setting up on the weekend, then open on next Monday, and last for a week until the next Sunday. It should be noted that during the faire setup period from Friday to next Monday, although you will see members busy setting up, you cannot participate in it. If you are afraid of missing the event, don’t worry, the crier Melnan Darkstone from Ironforge and Kruban Darkblade from Orgrimmar will announce the arrival of the faire for you after Darkmoon Faire opens.
How To Find Darkmoon Faire?
Darkmoon Faire will only be held alternately in Elwynn Forest and Mulgore, the former is located near Goldshire and the latter is southwest of Thunder Bluff. It is worth noting that the specific route to go will vary depending on your faction identity.
Horde Players Route
If you are a Horde player, it will be easier to reach Darkmoon Faire when it in Elwynn Forest. The following is a specific route that can avoid Alliance guards:
- Go to the airship platform in Ogrimmar or Undercity and take the airship to Grom’gol Base Camp in Stranglethorn Vale.
- Once you reach Grom’gol, walk northeast from the camp.
- Turn left at the first T-junction and continue north until you pass through Duskwood.
- You may find a small Alliance guard camp near the intersection of the east and west roads on the right side of the road. You can turn west to avoid this, but be careful not to turn onto the road. Instead, walk north between Duskwood and Raven Hill Cemetery.
- You will then encounter a river, with the estimated coordinates being around Duskwood 30,24. Cross the river to enter Elwynn Forest.
- Continue walking north, keeping Maclure Vineyards on your right, and you will soon see Darkmoon Faire site.
Alliance Players Route
If you are an Alliance player, you may encounter Horde guards when going to Darkmoon Faire in Mulgore, but it’s okay as long as you are more careful. The route we recommend next is more suitable for Alliance players above level 40, because it is more timesaving but risky, and low-level players may not be able to deal with it.
- Once you reach Menethil Harbor in Wetlands, take a boat to Theramore.
- Once you reach Theramore, head northwest into Dustwallow Marsh, then west toward Barrens.
- Once you enter Barrens, head west, then north on the main road, and when you see Camp Taurajo, turn west toward the mountains, and just south of Camp Taurajo, take the other road west to Mulgore.
- Shortly after entering Mulgore you will see a small dirt road heading north, just east of a pond, keep the pond to your left and follow it until you find the road north again, and then you can enter Darkmoon Faire.
Darkmoon Decks And Cards
This should be the item you should focus on when participating in Darkmoon Faire event. Because at the market brought by Darkmoon Faire, there are some epic items that can only be exchanged through Darkmoon decks and cards. Once you have the cards, you will need to assemble them into 4 decks and present them to Professor Thaddeus Paleo in Darkmoon Faire. These 4 decks are:
- Beasts Deck
- Elementals Deck
- Portals Deck
- Warlords Deck
We hope that this information will help you have a great time playing Darkmoon Faire once phase 3 arrives. Thank you for reading.

WoW Classic 20th Anniversar ...
On March 20, the first part of WoW 20th Anniversary Phase 3 was officially launched! New content in this part includes Blackwing Lair raid, level 50 class quests, Warsong Gulch reputation lists, Eternal Quintessence, and Darkmoon Faire. I wonder how you have completed them? If you haven’t started yet, you must hurry up, because the second part will open Arathi Basin for you! In the second week after the start of Phase 3, WoW Classic 20th will continue to bring new changes on April 3, such as the cancellation of PVP honor rank 11 cap, and the most important resource battle that will be launched in Arathi Basin! Considering that you may not be very familiar with the original game before, we will introduce you to some things to know about fighting in Arathi Basin in detail. WoW Classic 20th Arathi Basin Arathi Basin in WoW Classic 20th Phase 3 will officially open on April 3 at 3:00 PM PDT, where you will be able to join other players in a 15-on-15 resource battle. The winning team will not only ensure that everyone has the opportunity to win WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Gold through fighting, but also win more opportunities for their faction to continue to grow. To make your team win, you must hone your team coordination skills with your teammates, so that you have a chance to capture and hold five different bases on the map in the battle to accumulate resources. It is worth noting that the starting point of the battle will be different depending on your faction: Alliance players will start near Stables at Trollbane Hall, while Horde players will start near the Defiler’s Den farm. After that, the first team to collect 2,000 resources wins. Here is a more intuitive list of Arathi Basin gameplay: Number of players: 15 vs. 15 Level range: 20+ Capture points: Farm, Mine, Blacksmith, Lumberyard and Stable Resources required to win: 2000 Arathi Basin Battleground Strategy The above is the overall idea of playing Arathi Basin battle in WoW 20th Anniversary Phase 3, but in order to minimize the confusion you will encounter when April 3 arrives, we will introduce more relevant information further. What Is Arathi Basin? Arathi Basin is located in Arathi Highlands. Due to its special geographical location and rich resource storage, Alliance and Horde have long used it as one of the main positions for competing for natural resources. The zone first appeared in the original game in patch 1.7 in 2005 as a control point battlefield and the associated factions are The League of Arathor and The Defilers. How To Enter Arathi Basin? If you don’t want to be lost when all your teammates have gathered, you need to figure out the route to Arathi Basin in advance. If you are an Alliance player, the entrance is at 45.4, 44.2 Sanctuary, and for Horde players, the entrance is at 73.7, 29.3 north of Hammerfell. Or you can find 6 Arathi Basin Battlemasters in the main cities of the game and queue up to enter Arathi Basin. Keras Wolfheart: Darnassus, Warrior’s Terrace, 58, 37 Donal Osgood: Ironforge, Military Ward, 70, 89 Lady Hoteshem: Stormwind, Stormwind Keep, 78, 17 Deze Snowbane: Orgrimmar, Valley of Honor, 79, 29 Martin Lindsey: Thunder Bluff, Spirit Rise, 28, 21 Sir Malory Wheeler: Undercity, Royal Quarter, 61, 93 How To Accumulate Resources As Quickly As Possible? In order to accumulate 2000 resources before the enemy team, you must work with your teammates to occupy all resource nodes completely as quickly as possible and protect them from being recaptured, because when a resource node is completely controlled by you, it will not only generate a certain amount of resources at a fixed time but also the more nodes you control, the faster the resource generation speed. If you can occupy all 5 resource nodes, the resource generation speed can even increase tenfold. It is worth noting that these nodes do not belong to any faction before the battle begins. After that, you and your teammates can start from your starting point and expand your influence to the following areas: Stables: Nearest Trollbane Hall in the north. Gold Mine: Northeast corner of the map. Blacksmith: Center of the map. Lumber Mill: Southeast of the map. Farm: Closest to Defiler’s Den in the south. What Are Resource Node Flags? In order to show the ownership status of the current resource nodes to all players clearly, these nodes will be equipped with flags in three different states: White flag: This is the starting state of the flag, indicating that neither side has claimed the node. Gray flag marked with Alliance or Horde symbol: This means that one party is attacking the node and is waiting for the original occupying party to fight back. Alliance blue flag/Horde red flag: Indicates that the node has been attacked and occupied by a faction and has begun to generate resources. If you want to capture the flag, you or your teammates need to attack any unclaimed or contested/occupied flag and gain control by guiding for 8 seconds. However, if you are damaged or stunned by the enemy during this period, the 8-second attack will be interrupted and you must start over. After the 8-second channel is completed, the flag of the node will be contested. If 60 seconds pass without being attacked by the enemy again, the node will be considered occupied by you and start generating resources for you. But if the enemy can successfully defend the flag, the corresponding node will remain under the control of the enemy. I believe that after reading our introduction, you will feel more comfortable in the battle for Arathi Basin in WoW 20th Anniversary after April 3. Wish you good luck!Mar-26-2025

WoW Classic 20th Anniversar ...
World of Warcraft Classic 20th Anniversary event, which provided you with a ton of new activities, rewards, and buffs, has ended, Caverns of Time have returned to normal, and most of NPCs and decorations that appeared at the celebration site have disappeared. But if you pay close attention, you will find that one NPC has not left you. That is Alyx, a NPC you helped in Guest Relations mystery questlines. He has now moved to the hot springs northwest of Delver headquarters building in Dornogal, which can be seen on the path to Foundation Hall. Alyx not only brings you the titles of Volunteer Event Coordinator, Among Other Things, but also a notepad with the locations of Celebration Crates containing tons of WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Gold hidden around the world. Once you have completed all the hidden item collections, you will be awarded a number of titles, the most important of which is Detective, which will help you unlock the ability to open the mystery and find Indecipherable Felcycle mount Incognitro that has been elusive to all WoW players. To reduce the time you spend searching for Alyx and the 11 missing Celebration Crates, this guide will show you their specific locations and strategies you can use during your exploration so that you can complete this collection quest faster and get the final title. Steps First you need to find Lightforged Draenei NPC in Dornogal, Alyx and the clue board it has, which can be found in Foundation Hall and on the stairs leading to Delver’s Headquarters. Then follow all the clues on this notepad to find all 11 missing Celebration Crates in World of Warcraft. Please note that although you can start Celebration Crate quests after your character reaches level 10, Dornogal requires you to reach level 68 to unlock it. Here are specific locations of 3 special Celebration Crates. The first thing you should find is Celebration Crate in Ternaries. Just go to the coastline patrolled by Doomwalkers and dive into the deep sea to find it. But remember to use Water Breathing Potion first, so that you can support yourself to the right building in the southeast. Once you find this building, swim to the second floor, and you will find Crate under a bed in a room. Celebration Crate in Thousand Needles is a bit more difficult to find, as it requires you to travel through different zones. You need to go to Fizzle and Pozzik’s Speedbarge, then fly or swim southwest to Sunken Digsite, and then swim to Silithid hive. In the huge hive, turn right and go straight into a dead end with a pipe. There is an interactive note next to the pipe, which you need to take to the eastern edge of Azsuna in Broken Isles, where there is a very long path, and a merchant named Vashti. You need to pay 500 WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Gold to get the treasure chest offered here. In this Forgotten Crypt behind Karazhan in Deadwind Pass, you need to go through the well and then go down Pauper’s Walk. You will then see that the road splits in two directions, and you should go left and then go down, which will lead you to a large room. On the far right of this room, you will see a partially submerged tomb, which you can search for some useful loot rewards. But your focus should be on the far left corner of the room, where you will see a crate. When you interact with it, it will give you a quest to talk to Alyx, and after you complete the quest, you will get this Celebration Crate. The above is the three most worthy of your attention among the 11 Celebration Crates. Turning in six Celebration Crates earns your Crate Insurance Agent title, while turning in 11 Celebration Crates earns you No Crate Left Behind, Azeroth’s Greatest Detective, and Detective title. The developers took into account that many players only participated in Incognitro secret quests during the anniversary event, but did not obtain Greatest Detective achievement in Azeroth by obtaining Dalaran Survivor in Donorgal to uncover the final mystery, so Alyx was moved to Donorgal and players were allowed to have the right to turn in Celebration Crates indefinitely, which would give all players a certain chance to obtain Felcycle mount. However, it is worth reminding you that the other Guest Relations quests in the current WoW 20th Anniversary Event are no longer available, because most of the tasks are heavily dependent on the venue of the event, which means that achievements such as Assistant to Assistant Guest Relations Manager and I Saved the Party and All I Got Were These Lousy Hats can no longer be completed, but it does not mean that World of Warcraft will not bring them back in the future by increasing the rewards!Feb-28-2025

In this anniversary event, you can not only get the very iconic Tier 2 sets in Vanilla WoW but also unlock a memorable mount - Coldflame Tempest. Although this mount is provided to you for free, you need to complete a series of achievements. Under normal circumstances, these achievements will take about a few months to complete, but with the help of this guide and your patience, you can even get it in one or two days. First, you need to go to Caverns of Time through the portal from Stormwind City or Orgrimmar.

After all the tasks are completed, you can get a lot of WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Gold, which can be used to obtain cosmetics. There are eight achievements you must complete by getting Coldflame Tempest. Most can be completed in a few minutes, but some will take some time and effort. You can complete the straightforward tasks first, so you can have free time to complete the more arduous tasks. Here are the eight achievements and the tasks you need to complete getting the mount. I Have That One!: You need to match a mount during Mount Mania. Fashion Critic: Cast a vote in Fashion Frenzy.
