Sayge, the fortune teller at the Darkmoon Faire, asks you two questions and gives you one buff for 2 hours based on your answers. The best one for most players is Sayge's Dark Fortune of Damage, +10% damage. The values below are from Forever's game files.
Every buff
| Buff | Effect | Lasts |
|---|---|---|
| Dark Fortune of Damage | +10% damage dealt | 2 hours |
| Dark Fortune of Agility | +10% Agility | 2 hours |
| Dark Fortune of Strength | +10% Strength | 2 hours |
| Dark Fortune of Stamina | +10% Stamina | 2 hours |
| Dark Fortune of Intelligence | +10% Intellect | 2 hours |
| Dark Fortune of Spirit | +10% Spirit | 2 hours |
| Dark Fortune of Armor | +10% armor | 2 hours |
| Dark Fortune of Resistance | +25 to all magic resistances | 2 hours |
The files also hold a 4-hour marker called Sayge's Carnie Buff. It's probably the wait before you can ask again.
Which answers to pick
In the original game the first question has four answers and the second has three. Pick the numbers in the order they appear. Sayge's wording can change, so read your buff's tooltip to be sure. We haven't confirmed that these orders still hold in Forever.
| First answer | Second answer | Buff |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | Damage |
| 1 | 2 | Resistance |
| 1 | 3 | Armor |
| 2 | 1 | Spirit |
| 2 | 2 | Intellect |
| 2 | 3 | Resistance |
| 3 | 1 | Stamina |
| 3 | 2 | Strength |
| 3 | 3 | Agility |
| 4 | 1 | Intellect |
| 4 | 2 | Spirit |
| 4 | 3 | Armor |
Which buff suits you
- Most damage dealers and leveling characters: Damage.
- Tanks: Stamina or Armor.
- Healers: Intellect or Spirit.
Sayge's written fortunes
After the buff you can take a written fortune. The files hold 29 of them. A few point to a place, such as Eastvale, the Deadmines, Wailing Caverns or Palemane Rock, and those may lead to a small reward.
We don't know yet whether the buff works inside raids in Forever, and raids don't open until 9 December. See the Darkmoon Faire guide for the rest.
