The Darkmoon Faire also offers very useful items for those who want to play and level alternate characters: heirloom items. Heirloom Items can be shared with any of your characters on the same realm: they are Bind On Account. You can send them by in-game mail even if the recipient is on the opposite faction – as long as you don’t add anything else in the parcel!
| These items have a pale golden hue in their text color, and their attributes scale with your character's level from 1 to 80, or 1 to 85.

Here are the Heirloom items available for your character from level 1 to 80. You still can use them after level 80, but their stats won't upgrade anymore.

From level 1 to 85
You can also upgrade the old heirlooms above by turning in the item and paying Darkmoon Prize Tickets, trading them for versions that provide benefits up to level 85:

There are many Darkmoon Cards and Decks to collect all around the world and some can be created by scribes. Every high-level Deck consists of an Ace plus two through eight. If you collect all the cards of a Deck you can assemble it and turn the quest in to Professor Thaddeus Paleo at the Darkmoon Faire. Depending on the Deck, you may receive an Epic trinket on top of reputation with Darkmoon Faire!The Ethereals, emerged from the nether, brought with them a technology they call Transmogrification: it allows to copy the appearance of one magical item onto another. They dwell in the capital cities of Azeroth and offer adventurers a unique service for a price.
At the Darkmoon Faire, you can buy some beautiful replicas to transmogrify your own equipment!

| A special treat brought to you by the Darkmoon Faire is the replica armor, sold by Barum and Baruma, modeled after old Dungeon sets. These sets can be used to transmogrify your current gear and customize its appearance. The pieces vary from 55 to 75 Darkmoon Prize Tickets in price. |
Dungeon Tier 0
If this very first armor set of World of Warcraft is now impossible to get from the classic dungeons of the game, it is now available as a replica from Barum!
Note: there is no Tier 0 armor set for Death Knights and Monks, as those classes appeared later in the game.

There is plenty to do at the Darkmoon Faire! From PvP matches to a walk in a wondrous zoo, not even mentioning the Tauren Elite Chieftains concerts every hour, this island is also the perfect place to train your fishing skills thanks to the presence of a Fishmaster on the deck.
PvP Challenge
| The Darkmoon Deathmatch offers an experience unparalleled since the Gurubashi Arena, with a big old treasure chest just brimming with goodies and Darkmoon Prize Tickets that will appear in the Darkmoon Deathmatch Pit every three hours or so. Everybody wants it, so if you want a piece of the action you’ll just have to jump in and prove that you’re the toughest one in the Pit. |
Tauren Elite Chieftains concert
| At the top of every hour, the Tauren Chieftains perform their hit song ‘Power of the Horde’ on a special stage set up for the occasion. | 
|
Dancing Bear is fun
| Of course, there’s more to the Darkmoon Faire than just fantastic shows and culinary delights. If you like dancing bears, you’ll be glad to know that there is one just waiting for you to dance with him! |
Lions, and tigers, and Gleok The Untamable! Oh, my!
| This zoo is populated with exotic animals from all over Azeroth and beyond. Some are cute and nice, others are dangerous and wild; some can be ridden, others are untamable; some respond to friendly emotes, others will just stare at you in the most mysterious, inexpressive way. All of them are waiting for you! | 
|
Do you see Dead people?
| Darkmoon Isle might be a bit spooky, but except for the Deathmatch Pit, the Faire itself is completely safe. The shadowy woods surroundin’ the faire are another thing entirely, though. It is said that people have disappeared into those woods never to return, and that strange things happen there in the realm of the Dead… |
Huge, Sharp Teeth!
| There is a grim lair somewhere on the island, a cave where the most foul, cruel, bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on is waiting for unlucky adventurers to challenge it. Beware, though, because you might want the help of an entire raid to defeat this monstruous creature! | 
|
Fishing
| The Darkmoon Island is a great place to fish, not only because you might find some Shipwreck Debris and a monthly fishing quest waiting, but also because a Fishmaster is waiting for you! It’s also been said there are a lot of seahorses in this area - who knows, you might find a baby one. |
You can also buy scrolls and consummable items to give your character a little boost to its stats, or even a nice cheap container to extend your inventory. Or are you searching for fun items? Darkmoon Faire is the place to seek!
|
| Darkmoon Top Hat
| |
|
| Darkmoon Storage Box
|
| Professor Thaddeus Paleo is waiting for you behind his booth with dozens of scrolls and potions to help you progress through your adventures.
Whatever be your current level, Thaddeus has something in store for you, to buy with silver and gold. |
| Gelvas Grimegate sells many fun items in exchange for Darkmoon Prize Tickets: some green foam "swords" to have fun fighting other players in the most secure way, a Darkmoon Whistle to make a loud and annoying sound, a beautiful Darkmoon Flower to hold in Off-hand, and many stationary carousels to summon almost anywhere you want! Most of these items can also be found in a Darkmoon Game Prize from a Daily Quest.
Perfect items to spice up your guild meetings, isn't it? |
|
| You can purchase a wide variety of food and beverages at the Faire. While Stamp Thunderhorn can provide you with many exotic dishes, Sylannia will calm your thirst with the most peculiar beverages.
You’ll find the list of all the different yummy dishes to taste by checking out the Fairegoer’s Feast achievement. |
| Buy a Darkmoon Ride Ticket and hop on the carousel! The longer you ride it, the longer will last a buff that increases experience and reputation gains by 10%, up to 1 hour. |
| Sayge is waiting for you in his tent, offering his trademark fortunes that reward you with two-hour buffs. |
| The Darkmoon Faire currently offers a total of 140 achievement points, split over 14 achievements. |
