WoW Forever's first Darkmoon Faire opens in Elwynn Forest on Monday, November 9 and stays a week, as the game's own calendar dates it. Its next stop is at the foot of Thunder Bluff, in Mulgore, on Monday, December 7. Sayge's fortunes still last two hours, but the game now says they do nothing in a raid.
The dates, from the game's calendar
Build 1.60.1.70862 of the game carries the faire's calendar: two holidays that take turns, one month in Elwynn Forest, the next in Mulgore. Each opens on a Monday at 4:00 a.m., realm time, for 168 hours, so it closes the next Monday at the same hour.
| Where | Opens | Last full day |
|---|---|---|
| Elwynn Forest | Monday, November 9 | Sunday, November 15 |
| Mulgore, at the foot of Thunder Bluff | Monday, December 7 | Sunday, December 13 |
| Elwynn Forest | Monday, January 4, 2027 | Sunday, January 10, 2027 |
The game announces the first one in these words: "The Darkmoon Faire is here, this time in idyllic Elwynn Forest." Players there could already see it being set up on November 8, Wowhead reports.
Sayge's fortunes: two hours, never in a raid
Sayge's eight Dark Fortunes give 10% more damage, armor, Strength, Agility, Stamina, Intellect or Spirit, or 25 more of every resistance, for two hours. In WoW Forever's client, each one's text ends with the line that makes the difference: "No effect while in a raid instance." Wowhead reports the same rule for every world buff: they still work in the open world, not in a raid. The Damage fortune is for leveling, dungeons and battlegrounds, not for raid night.
