Three holidays are currently active in WoW on US realms (EU tomorrow): the brand-new
World Quest Bonus Event
granting 50% bonus reputation from World Quests, the Darkmoon Faire featuring a new 7.1 mount
Darkwater Skate
, and Brewfest with a few new things to buy. Tuesday also means a new World Boss spawn, this week it's
Withered J'im
who can drop
Unstable Arcanocrystal
.
World Quest Bonus Event
This week's Bonus Event is the brand-new
World Quest Bonus Event
, in which reputation gains from Broken Isles World Quests are increased by 50% via
Sign of the Emissary
.
World Quests
are a good way to improve your reputation and get basic gear without needing a group or long time commitment. Just open your map, or check it via your phone on the Legion Companion App or on Wowhead's
World Quest Page
, to see which quests are up.
During this event, pick up
The World Awaits
from Archmage Timear and complete 20 World Quests for 5000
Order Resources
.
Now is a good time to work on
Variety is the Spice of Life
for
Broken Isles Pathfinder, Part One
, or the 200 World Quests required for
Hidden Tracking - Appearance Unlock - Hidden - Color 3 (update criteria when world quests available)
to unlock another tint for your
Hidden Artifact Appearance
if you already have the first color.
With this event, you can also make some good progress towards Exalted with Legion reputations. Check out our
Broken Isles Reputation Guides
to see what toys, pets, and recipes are from each quartermaster.
Nightfallen reputation
in Suramar is required for
Arcway
and
Court of Stars
attunement, as well as quests for
Good Suramaritan
.
Dreamweavers reputation
in Val'sharah has two tabards at Exalted and is needed for
The Sunbloom
.
Court of Farondis reputation
in Azsuna is needed for
Syriel Crescentfall's Notes: Ravenguard
and
Vainglorious Draught
.
Wardens reputation
(all zones) is needed for
Boon of the Bloodhunter
; this reputation is slower to acquire since there are no story quests.
Valarjar reputation
in Stormheim is needed for
Rod of the Ascended
and likely to trigger the first head drop towards
Visage of the First Wakener
.
Highmountain reputation
in Highmountain is needed to purchase special War Harnesses, totems, and
Totem Tote
.
If you are a fresh level 110, here is an overview of World Quests:
Gearing Up: The better your ilvl is, the higher ilvl rewards you have a chance of getting. You can get gear for any slot as well as relics. This loot can proc Warforged or Titanforged too!
Reputation Gains: All quests in a specific zone provide reputation with a faction. If you are interested in profession recipes, vanity items, or
Broken Isles Diplomat
, you will want to complete World Quests. All zones except for Suramar only take you to Honored via story questing. For Suramar, different parts of the storyline unlock at higher reputation levels and you won't be able to hit those levels without World/Emissary quests.
World Quests are very important for
The Wardens
and
Nightfallen
; they are both
Level 110 only
factions.
Professions: Quests have a chance to reward
Blood of Sargeras
, and when you hit skill level 100, additional profession quests unlock which can reward recipes or high-end reagents like
Thick Slab of Bacon
.
Other quests reward Artifact Power, Gold, and Order Resources.
PvP quests reward Honor and a chance at PvP gear; Battle Pet quests reward bandages/stones.
You must also hit Friendly with the 5 major Legion factions to unlock World Quests, in the quest
Uniting the Isles
. This will also award the handy teleport item
Flight Master's Whistle
.
To learn more about World Quests, check out our
World Quests Guide
and see which are up on our
World Quest Tracking Page
.
Darkmoon Faire
The Darkmoon Faire started this past Sunday and is in town for the entire week. In addition to mounts, pets, toys, and transmog, the Darkmoon Faire offers valuable reputation buffs:
Darkmoon Top Hat
and
WHEE!
. These do not stack; each increases experience and reputation by 10% for an hour. However
either Darkmoon Faire buff
stacks with the 50% reputation gain from
World Quest Bonus Event
.
Make sure you have a reputation buff on when completing Legion World Quests, and Emissary Quests, clicking on Withered Army Training reputation tablets. You'll need six reputations at Revered (
Broken Isles Diplomat
) for
Broken Isles Pathfinder, Part One
and Nightfallen Exalted for
Class Hall Armor Set
shoulders and the
Arcanist's Manasaber
in Patch 7.1.
In addition, there are Legion recipes, toys, and transmog options which are all covered in the
Darkmoon Faire Guide
.
The Darkmoon Faire is also a great way to boost your professions. There are quests which grant +5 skillups, new Inscription recipes for higher ranks of crafting Darkmoon Faire cards, and
Darkmoon Daggermaw
which provide fishing skillups and can be turned in for recipes and pets. If you are set on professions, you can fish up 500
Darkmoon Daggermaw
now for the
Darkwater Skate
mount coming in Patch 7.1, sold by
Galissa Sundew
:
Brewfest
Brewfest started the same day as Mythic+ Dungeons, Emerald Nightmare, and Season 1 PvP so you may have put off grinding
Brewfest Prize Token
. However, Brewfest ends on
October 6th
so you only have a few days left. Here's a recap of what's new:
Coren's loot is now ilvl 810
Vendors sell new brews like
Spirit Spirits
Throw food at friends with
Throwing Sausage
Gravil Goldbraid's Famous Sausage Hat
is a new toy that costs 100
Brewfest Prize Tokens
.
Synthebrew Goggles XL
is a new pair of goggles that costs 200
Brewfest Prize Tokens
.

Brewfest Guide

"the Darkmoon Faire featuring a new 7.1 mount Darkwater Skate," So... is it out? If not until 7.1 then why talk about it at all?
It's stated in the article why:
If you are set on professions, you can fish up 500 Darkmoon Daggermaw now for the Darkwater Skate mount coming in Patch 7.1, sold by Galissa Sundew:
i.e. you can fish up the
Darkmoon Daggermaw
now as the Darkmoon Faire is currently running and be ready to purchase the new mount as soon as the faire comes when 7.1 is live.
Plenty of players will want the mount and competition for the Shipwreck Debris pools which drop multiple Darkmoon Daggermaw will be high, so it makes sense to get to it now in anticipation.
Plus, it's new upcoming content much the same as the new
Karhazan content
is featured.
