Great guide! Thanks! But i wonder. Do i need to have blacksmithing to deliver dense grinding stones at phase 3? If not, i gonna buy that and make a friend make them for me.
In the vanilla guild I was in, this older lady would spend all her DMF time farming cards, being on at obscene times even for 14 yo me. She would then hand out entire decks worth of cards inc the Aces and bring people to the turn in spot for their deck. I had no idea she spent so much time on them! I just said thanks and moved on with my day, maybe used the regen one for a raid. Thank you kindly guildie, you're awesome.
Melderon you surpassed yourself this time! I thought this was going to be a 15-18min video at the very most and you did it more then its justice. I want to add to this awesome and detailed guide that it won't matter if you are low or high level, casual or hardcore. There's something and reasons to do the DMF for ALL atleast once. If it's not for the decent necklaces or rings there is always the sweet buffs to get. +10% damage is something most (HC) raiders would want during the event, mostly for PvE, goes away upon death. *EDIT:* To get a 14 slot bag as early as level 8 is just amazing to get. Even tho you might be decked with bags as DMF event comes, your bank alt will happy to get one if so.
Really helpful video, thanks for putting it together man! Good looks on showing appreciation and giving credit to the people that helped you as well, that was cool to see
The warlords (healing) deck is amazing for rogues who like to dungeon solo. Combined with dual crusader (or life stealing if crusader is beyond your means) it provides a constant stream of significant healing that can expand your _effective_ health pool from say, 3.5-4.0k up to 8,9,10k when you count heals over the duration of the fight, which allows you to down things that might seem impossible at first sight. Speaking from experience, not theorycrafting. That combo netted me many lifesteal enchants, flask of supreme power recipes and so many other goodies, some of which I am sure would not have been possible without the heals. Related point: I see people claiming that crusader attack power buff did not stack, but that is incorrect (perhaps they are basing this on private emulated servers?) . Furthermore it was possible to stack more than twice by switching weapon after proc, to another crusader enchanted weapon, although this was not practical. Certainly the attack power bonus from strength as it applies to rogues is only 1, but a fairly constant +200AP was, and will be, nothing to sneeze at. So, hopefully it stacks in classic.
Thank you SO much for making this video!! I have been looking for a guide to the Classic Darkmoon Faire for a few months! Video "Liked" and I'm now "Subscribed". Thank you and please continue to create great content.
I really love the Darkmoon Faire might be one of my favourite events! I wish there was a tailoring quest to do though. I will definitely be getting that Ale Frog lol I hope in Classic on whatever server I'm on we have events at the Faire having a good time it brings everyone together at one spot to enjoy themselves! :)
I think I remember some other kind of restriction to the crafted turn-in's, at least in the earlier stages of the Faire. I recall temporarily changing a professions to get the Orb necklace for casters.
The bag is great for every toon, but as far as the greater prize, it's only worth if your looking for greens lvl 46-50. Same with the other bags. I'd say worth if your looking for greens in the lvls that they drop.
Did they change it so that repeating the 40 lvl quests during Vanilla gave rep each time? I remember collecting tons of glowing scorpid blood and bat eyes for some reason. I probably still have some on a bank alt.
You can use the Canon to your advantage, just use the Canon to get around the map. If you use it in elwyn forest you can shoot yourself to the location where the hogger quest is given. It saves a long walk.
Hello, i wonder. Do i need to have blacksmithing to deliver dense grinding stones at phase 3? If not, i gonna buy that and make a friend make them for me.
DEFCAMP & MELDERON- I have a question I have been watching a lot of RUclips no one is clear on “ can I still AOE grind ( Leveling & Gold ) on a mage in release of Classic. Thanks
hmm youre showing the wrong position for Plugger Spazzring; youre showing him in the prison district and not in the actual Grim Guzzler for correction from the upper circle where the black anvil is mapwise west
there was talks of a tues-tues schedule but it was never implemented. they did change the schedule about 4 times since the introduction, and eventually set upon the first sun-sat, which is what is current in retail.
Char1ynn you know someone told me good job once. I said thanks and asked how I could repay his words. He said well I need about Tree Fiddy. It was then I saw I was dealing with a crustacean from the Paleolithic era!!! I said get away you damn Loch Ness monster you ain't getting my tree fiddy!!!!
Seems like you get shat on if you're a tailor or do you not need to be of those professions to finish the quest. If not then it seems a giant waste of money. Why would you care about this at all?
Where do you get Melderon content without the uselessness of defcamp? Not talking about defcamp narrating... Even if there is "behind the scene" involvement, I've never heard a single stream or anything not heavily edited where he appears and doesn't say something extremely outdated or just flat out wrong misinformation.
Yes and no. The 2 lvl 60 necks are great if you can get them quickly in the start of phase 3, and you know you're not going to get something else for a while. Also, Sayge's buffs are 2hrs, so if it happens to be going on during your raid times, popping over to quickly grab the 10% damage buff could be very helpful (as long as you don't die).
I for example, do not have enough time to raid MC much. No way I get choker of the firelord. This neck for my warlock would be a good alternative that I can grind before hand via engineering and leveling. If you are going to be raiding weekly, doubt that time / money investment would be worth it for you.

If you were able to beat an even leveled player with the meat then it might be funny, picking on a low level, the only funny thing about that is how pathetic you have to be to find something like that funny.

So, so much for your help my man! really means a lot!
Iirc your banker can use 16 slotters or larger bought on the AH?
At least I recall my lvl1 tycoon having plenty of space.
Not gonna lie, I forgot nearly everything about Classic WoW Darkmoon Faire. I'm so excited for all this.
Really helpful video, thanks for putting it together man! Good looks on showing appreciation and giving credit to the people that helped you as well, that was cool to see
Your channel is so active and so informative. One of the best.
30 min vid about Darkmoon Faire? Im here for it bros
I love the Kargoz flavor with the slides. It really is a great format.
I remember farming 100s if not 1000s of scorpion blood in Silithus to get the epic necklace! Good times, especially coupled with skinning!
Been waiting til someone does one of these - no surprises its you man, keep it up.
Thanks for being so precise and informative! I’ve got the slides bookmarked already!
nice touch with the link to the slide deck, that was awesome! thanks!
Thanks for this guide. Never really did anything with the DMF but now I know that there are a couple possible things that may be worthwhile.
Exactly what I was looking for in the past few weeks. Very nice and ideal
I started playing SOD classic ++ and this video just persuaded me that I’ll never do the faire. It’s so grindy omggg great info nice video..thank you

Nice. So happy for this. Can’t wait to roll with you guys in Sidewinder.
great video madseason!
here before the bald man lookin for content
what?
Great job on the presentation as always Mel. Look forward to working with you again.
Back when the Darkmoon Faire actually gave you useful rewards instead of pets and transmog sets. Man, I can't wait to dive back into Classic Azeroth.
Enjoyed the guide as always Mel!
I remember when this dropped in vanilla and it being such fun.
Loving these very detailed videos!!

16:35 "If you don't have time to farm some pieces..." looking at a 1200 ticket item.

I really love the Darkmoon Faire might be one of my favourite events! I wish there was a tailoring quest to do though.

Great video man. Very detailed!
17:56 Unique food.. has a lot of flavour..
Thank you brothers!
I am using the blue dragon for my lv 70 holy priest on a tbc server, very good one
Great guide! thank you so much for posting it!!
man the tank battles were the best. i remember sitting all day in elwynn as a lvl ~35 and owning everyone with the tanks
Great job as per usual, guys!
I think I remember some other kind of restriction to the crafted turn-in's, at least in the earlier stages of the Faire. I recall temporarily changing a professions to get the Orb necklace for casters.
Man, i love you guys
The brothers Horde coming thru with top Craic knowledge. I cannot wait to fight beside you in game! It will be glorious!!!
Big black mace, bro... Best part of the video hahhaa
So, the reputation is only a negative? I.e. it limits what ticket quests you can turn in, but doesn't gain you anything in itself?
Correct
thank you for the vid gentlemen
Thank you for watching. Hope you enjoyed it and found it useful.
Hey melderon, Xoza from the beta here :). great video guys. looking forward to august
The big black mace chuckle was hilarious
11:40 10.02.2020 Level 40 quests keep giving 100 rep each time you give it back not only for the first time. You can earn up to 2000/6000 friendly.
Very helpful, thanks.
greeat vid thanks ! but where are those pnj ? in the fair ?
The event can also take place outside Shattrath.
This was a well-done presentation. Very detailed.
Aren't you to old for playing games?
GOD I CANT WAIT !!!!
Good job. Keep up the great work.
wow, what a guide!
@ 6:54 , torn bear belts XD
So far I've had 3 Oozlings and I'm going for another one in classic on my Lock!
so the best value from the tickets is the 14slot bag and then the greater darkmoonprize? if i dont want the epic necklace
The bag is great for every toon, but as far as the greater prize, it's only worth if your looking for greens lvl 46-50. Same with the other bags. I'd say worth if your looking for greens in the lvls that they drop.
GOOD MOOOOOORNING AZEROTH!
Did they change it so that repeating the 40 lvl quests during Vanilla gave rep each time? I remember collecting tons of glowing scorpid blood and bat eyes for some reason. I probably still have some on a bank alt.
You can use the Canon to your advantage, just use the Canon to get around the map. If you use it in elwyn forest you can shoot yourself to the location where the hogger quest is given. It saves a long walk.
sorry what do you mean only on first? does that mean the first turn in will get you 100 rep and subsequent will not?
Cool guide gracias.
My state fair also requires me to kill owlkin for tickets...
Hello, i wonder. Do i need to have blacksmithing to deliver dense grinding stones at phase 3? If not, i gonna buy that and make a friend make them for me.
The hunting quest items, do they fall of the mobs all year round? Or only on the faire time? Will they drop before phase 3?
Yes, they can be obtained at anytime, any phase.
DEFCAMP & MELDERON- I have a question I have been watching a lot of RUclips no one is clear on “ can I still AOE grind ( Leveling & Gold ) on a mage in release of Classic. Thanks
I would really like to know aswell
When will Classic WoW be releasing DMF? Like what phase? I can't remember when it came out 15 yrs ago.
2:06
@@granata2569 I listened to the damn video scrub & I know how DMF works. Now try answering the actual question.
@@josephnichols4129 but it says phase 3, are u braindead or something?
@@granata2569 No. It doesn't "say" phase 3. But that is the answer that I am looking for so thank you.
@@josephnichols4129 it literally says, DMF will begin with the launch of phase 3 along with bwl, lol, np, ur welcome
Isn't Darkmoon released in phase 3 with AV adn BWL? I heard somewhere something like that but can someone confirm?
grabeck666 that’s what he said, phase 3.
@@zepho100 ah sorry, had to miss it somehow. Thanks.
grabeck666 no worries, I do this all the time too 😄
sooo can you get exalted with darkmoon faire? seems like u cna hit friendly only
turning in the decks gives you rep, so technically yes
hmm youre showing the wrong position for Plugger Spazzring; youre showing him in the prison district and not in the actual Grim Guzzler
for correction from the upper circle where the black anvil is mapwise west
So these are basically best to do when you are level 60?
Dmf still worth it even though it’s phase 4? I made a mini guide for my shaman for classic but not sure if I’ll use it
It's in phase 3. And yeah I think so. Pretty fun
JCing wasnt in Classic was it? so why are there rings and gems as prizes?
Ring where always in the game. And gemstones are used for the other professions like blacksmithing or engeneering.
Kerri wants to grind the Big Black Mace
Flavorful vid
Isnt it Tuesday to tuesday
there was talks of a tues-tues schedule but it was never implemented. they did change the schedule about 4 times since the introduction, and eventually set upon the first sun-sat, which is what is current in retail.

I played wow since 06 and literally never paid any attention to darkmoon faire
Timestamps. Videos like this should always include them.
In a pinned comment
Has been there since day of upload and I said as much in the first 45 secs of the video
I hope they add the world events and calendar to classic.
Literally zero reasons not to.
Seems like you get shat on if you're a tailor or do you not need to be of those professions to finish the quest. If not then it seems a giant waste of money. Why would you care about this at all?
I didn’t even know Darkmoon was a thing in vanilla.
Where do you get Melderon content without the uselessness of defcamp? Not talking about defcamp narrating...

wow dude idk what ur talkin about dam u suck
amulet of the dark moon is not better than onyxia tooth pendant
19:06 It's spelled jewellery, not jewerly. Apart from that, good video.
Actually, it's jewelry
So basically, Darkmoon fair useless for raid progression ?
Yes and no. The 2 lvl 60 necks are great if you can get them quickly in the start of phase 3, and you know you're not going to get something else for a while. Also, Sayge's buffs are 2hrs, so if it happens to be going on during your raid times, popping over to quickly grab the 10% damage buff could be very helpful (as long as you don't die).

If you are going to be raiding weekly, doubt that time / money investment would be worth it for you.
I always thought darkmoon faire is lame. Only epic mounts are worth grinding for. So it's still lame even with the epic trinkets.
stats
Wish this had launched with phase 1, Not much benefit to somebody who’s got pre-raid best in slot.
Nope, but it isn't designed for you studs. Its for people who have shitty lives and can't raid weekly.
in the age of corona we need to remove heavy leather balls from wow

Can't find the guy for the first five free tickets. Useless guide.
So much useless added information
i cant find where is the darkmoon faire
