The Darkmoon Faire in World of Warcraft is a carnival-like event that has existed since the early days of the game, gathering mystics from across the world in one place. But getting there might be tricky, especially if this is your first trip to the event.

The event is typically located on a distant island that can only be accessed via portals near the capital cities of Azeroth or Outland. In fact, the island is so mysterious that no one, aside from the residents of the Darkmoon Faire, knows the exact location of the island. It usually starts on the first day of the month and lasts for a week.

If you plan on taking a break from Dragonriding and grinding Renown, and pay a visit to this peculiar place brimming with mystery and secrets, here’s how you can reach the Darkmoon Faire as both the Horde and the Alliance
