· updated · ForeverDB

Wowhead reports the Darkmoon Faire's first appearance in WoW Forever is in Elwynn Forest, live now for a week from the in-game calendar. There's no Blizzard post on it. The Forever client holds all eight Sayge's Dark Fortune buffs, each +10% to a stat, damage or armour (or +25 resistances) for 2 hours; we list every option. The client also carries two versions of each, which muddies whether they work in raids.

The Faire sets up in Elwynn

Wowhead reports that the Darkmoon Faire's first stop in WoW Forever is in Elwynn Forest, putting it on Alliance ground. Players in the zone could already see the Faire being set up, and the in-game calendar marks it active from Monday (9 November) for one week, so it is open now.

This comes from Wowhead, based on the in-game calendar and what players can see in Elwynn. It is not a Blizzard post. We've found no Blizzard statement about the Faire in Forever.

The buffs you can pick

The draw for a lot of players is Sayge's Dark Fortune, a 2-hour buff. In Classic Era you get one by answering Sayge the fortune teller's questions, and the answers you give decide which buff you walk away with. The Forever client carries all eight. Each one gives:

Of Damage lifts all your damage by 10%, so it is the easy pick for almost anyone while leveling or running a dungeon. If you would rather feed your main stat, casters get the most from Of Intelligence for a bigger mana pool or Of Spirit for faster regen, while melee and hunters lean on Of Strength or Of Agility. Of Stamina, Of Armour and Of Resistance help you take a hit instead. Wowhead's guide lists the dialogue answers that lead to each buff; that part is their report, not something we can read from the files.

Which buff suits your class is our steer from the stats, not a Blizzard statement. The list of answers that pick each buff comes from Wowhead.

Two versions in the files, and raids

The Forever client actually holds two of each Sayge's Dark Fortune buff. The ones that keep their Classic spell ids, like Sayge's Dark Fortune of Damage, read: "Increases damage by 10%. No effect while in a raid instance." A second set was added for Forever (the files mark these as new), like Sayge's Dark Fortune of Damage, and these drop that line, reading just "Damage increased by 10%." Both last 2 hours and both give 10%.

Update, 11 November. We first wrote this up from the Classic-id buff Sayge's Dark Fortune of Damage, which says it does nothing in a raid, and called that the Forever change. Looking again, the client also carries a Forever-added set without that line. So whether the Faire buff works inside a raid is something we can only settle by picking one up in game. In Classic Era these were world buffs that players stacked before a raid night. Wowhead frames Forever's world buffs as still active in the open world but not allowed in raids; we can't confirm that from the files for the set that drops the restriction.

The two sets both sit in the client's data. We don't know from the files which one Sayge actually hands out at the Faire, so treat the raid behaviour as unconfirmed until we check it in game.

What the Faire is for

In Classic Era the Darkmoon Faire has mini games, reputation to farm with the Darkmoon Faire faction, and a handful of rare items and rewards. Whether every part of that is in for Forever's first Faire we can't say yet, so treat the schedule and the location as Wowhead's report until Blizzard posts or we can check it in game.
