This week the Darkmoon Faire is in Elwynn Forest, in the open ground south of Goldshire near Crystal Lake. Alliance players walk there from Stormwind. Horde players take the zeppelin to Grom'gol and ride north through Duskwood. In December it moves to the foot of Thunder Bluff in Mulgore, and the trips swap round.
The game files confirm the two sites, Elwynn Forest and the foot of Thunder Bluff. The exact spot and the overland routes come from the original game's map. In the original game the Elwynn camp was around 42, 70 and the Mulgore camp around 37, 38.
Elwynn Forest weeks
Alliance: fly or walk to Stormwind, leave by the south gate and follow the road to Goldshire. The Faire is a short ride south.
Horde:
- Take the zeppelin from Orgrimmar to Grom'gol in Stranglethorn Vale.
- Ride north out of Stranglethorn into Duskwood.
- Keep going north over the river into Elwynn Forest.
Duskwood and northern Stranglethorn are dangerous at low level, and low-level characters may die on the way. The Mulgore weeks are the easy choice for Horde.
Mulgore weeks
Horde: fly to Thunder Bluff and ride down to the foot of the mesa.
Alliance:
- Get to Ratchet by boat from Booty Bay.
- Ride south through the Barrens.
- Turn west into Mulgore.
On a PvP ruleset
Blizzard warns players to take care when they enter enemy territory for the Faire. In Elwynn weeks Horde players are the ones in enemy land, and in Mulgore weeks it's Alliance.
Faster ways
- Set your hearthstone at the nearest inn when you arrive, if you plan to come back in the week. Goldshire is the closest for the Elwynn site.
- A mage can open a portal to the nearest capital.
- The TomTom add-on can point an arrow at the camp.
