In World of Warcraft: Embers of Neltharion, the Darkmoon Faire is an unmissable monthly event. During this event, players can use Darkmoon Tickets to purchase various items, including pets, mounts, and more. Since Darkmoon Tickets are in high demand, and even with the newly introduced guild transfer system for tickets, the supply still cannot meet the demand. In this guide, we'll go over the best ways to obtain Darkmoon Tickets.

1. Prepare the Materials

Before you can start collecting Darkmoon Tickets, you'll need to gather 100 Darkmoon Bladefish. This fish currently costs around 11 gold per piece on the Auction House (AH), but you can also catch it yourself at the Darkmoon Faire fishing area.

2. Head to the Darkmoon Faire

Travel to the Darkmoon Faire, specifically to the fishing area (coordinates: 52.4, 88.6).

3. Purchase the Necessary Items

Next, go to the NPC Grissa Sunshimmer and purchase an item called the Faded Treasure Map. You’ll need to be level 15 to use this item, so make sure your character meets the level requirement before proceeding.

4. Uncovering the Secrets of "Siras' Secret Treasure Chest"

Once you have the Faded Treasure Map, you will embark on a puzzle-solving quest. Follow the clues to uncover the Siras' Secret Treasure Chest, which contains 100 Darkmoon Tickets. The steps to complete this quest are as follows:

Clue 1: Barnacle-Covered Bag

• Location: On a small boat at coordinates 42.0, 91.3.
• Objective: Pick up the first clue, which will unlock the second clue.
•  

Clue 2: Suspicious Dirt Pile

• Location: In the sandy area with four Shaking Tigers at coordinates 53.2, 60.7.
• Objective: Pick up the second clue, which will unlock the third clue.
•  

Clue 3: Crystal Note

• Location: Near the careless performer in the zoo area at coordinates 52.5, 84.8.
• Objective: Pick up the third clue, which will unlock the fourth clue.
•  

Clue 4: Disturbed Dirt

• Location: Beneath a flag at coordinates 52.0, 30.5.
• Objective: Pick up the fourth clue and use it to start digging for the hidden treasure.
•  

Clue 5: Siras' Secret Treasure

• Location: Near the wrecked ship at coordinates 21.5, 28.9.
• Objective: Retrieve Siras' Secret Treasure Chest.
•  

5. Collecting Your Darkmoon Tickets

Once you open Siras' Secret Treasure Chest, you will receive 100 Darkmoon Tickets, which can be used to exchange for a variety of items at the Darkmoon Faire.

Tips for Maximizing Efficiency

• Fishing: If you're planning to catch the Darkmoon Bladefish yourself, it’s a good idea to bring along a fishing rod and any fishing gear that might increase your chances of catching these fish faster. The fishing area at the Darkmoon Faire can get crowded, so it might take some time to get the fish you need.

•  

• Treasure Map Puzzle: The clues are relatively easy to follow, but be sure to check the coordinates carefully. Sometimes, the items required for unlocking the next step in the quest might be difficult to find due to the location being crowded with other players. Patience and persistence are key!

•  

• Auction House Alternative: If you don't want to fish or complete the treasure map quest, you can always buy Darkmoon Bladefish from the Auction House. However, this can be a costly option depending on the server's economy.

•  

• Maximizing Ticket Use: Once you’ve obtained your Darkmoon Tickets, make sure to exchange them for valuable items such as rare pets, mounts, and other collectibles. These can be a great addition to your collection or can be sold for profit on the Auction House.

•  

By following these steps and tips, you'll be able to efficiently gather Darkmoon Tickets and make the most out of the Darkmoon Faire event. Whether you're aiming for pets, mounts, or other exclusive items, this is a fun and rewarding activity that every player should take part in each month!
