Top Gold Guide Tips for the Darkmoon Faire
On World of Warcraft, something that you can count on is the DarkMoon Faire, it comes every month, over and over like clockwork. And with the DarkMoon Faire comes a huge opportunity for gold-making.
Despite all the changes that Wrath of the Lich King expansion has brought on World of Warcraft, there’s still a huge amount of gold that you can make by camping the vendors in the DarkMoon Faire, buying up their stocks, and just pretty much hanging around at the Faire.
Among WoW gold guides, the best Darkmoon Faire gold-making info comes from Jonathan Kenins. He does a complete walkthrough in his Massive Gold Blueprint. In a series of step-by-step videos, he talks about how the WotLK Lich King economy changed the Darkmoon Faire farming strategy.
The short story is that WotLK has changed the DarkMoon Faire economy a lot, but it is still possible to make huge amounts of gold in the Faire. Not as good but it’s still profitable.
The Exotic Goods vendor Lhara and Professor Thaddeus are one of your best bets at making gold through the DarkMoon Faire, camp out at their booth at the back of the faire and wait for their stocks to replenish.
You should keep an eye out for items such as herbs like Frost Lotus, Netherbloom, Black Lotus, Terocone, Ghost Mushroom, Dreamfoil, Goldclover, Adder’s Tongue, Wild Steelbloom, and Deadnettle. Even lower-level herbs like Earthroot, Khadgar’s Whisker and Mageroyal are worth picking up here and re-selling on the acution house.
Turn some profit with elementals such as Crystallized Earth, Crystallized Fire, Crystallized Life, and Crystallized Air. They are not very good gold-makers but they’re still pretty decent when it comes to making gold. You can also gives Motes a try, they’re older and less desirable but they can still turn a good profit on a lot of servers, focus on selling Motes of Fire and Motes of Air.
There are fewer possibilities with leather. Some of the leather items are useful and can make you some gold, such as Knothide Leather, and Rugged Leather, depending on the prices on your server. But the real star of the leather group at Darkmoon Faire is Arctic Fur. It doesn’t pop up very often (sold by Lhara), but you should grab it fast whenever you see it, as it will sell in the auction house for 25 gold or more.
There are some items to avoid too, simply because they’re not profitable enough. You might even lose gold on them. Avoid all of the gems including Nightseye, Living Ruby, Dawnstone, Noble Topaz, Star of Elune, and Talasite. These sell at the Faire for 12g each, but in WotLK days, they won’t sell for anything like that much in the auction houses. Avoid the scrolls as well, because these are much cheaper than before because of Inscription.
While you’re at the Faire, try to catch Flik if you can. You can get Wood Frogs and Tree Frogs from him, and you should definitely stock up on these items most especially the Wood Frog Box because it’s limited supply and you can get a lot of gold by selling them gradually through the month after the DarkMoon Faire has ended.
Although the economy has changed due to Wrath of the Lich King and gold from the DarkMoon Faire has decreased from 600g to 1000g a day, to around 500g or so. It’s still a good amount of gold to earn, and it’s not that much of a hassle to do. So spending time at the DarkMoon Faire is still a good way to earn a decent amount of gold.
