the profession quests that grant skill points ARE repeatable, but would only grant skill points like once a week or so...

yep "5 skill points per faire week" according to the section titled "so you want to be in show-business" section on this Blizz site:

Memes...Memes everywhere.

Comment by Necropenguin

There is no NPC named Faldar Willowshade to buy general goods from. On PTR this quest dialogue instead states that you should be able to purchase the needed items from a general goods vendor in Stormwind or Mulgore, which you should of course do prior to attending the faire to save yourself a trip.

To complete the quest you'll need one Coarse Thread, one Red Dye. and one Blue Dye. Then simply use the Darkmoon Banner Kit the quest provided you with to craft a Darkmoon Banner. Walk around the faire you'll eventually see some Loose Stones. Use the Darkmoon Banner to plant it in the Loose Stones and then you're all set to go turn in the quest.

Comment by Koviko

Loose stones are along the edge of the main path, primarily in the grass. If you zoom in and look along the sides of the path, you should see them sparkling nearby.

Comment by uriahworld

You can purchase Coarse Thread, Red Dye, and Blue Dye from the Trade Supplies Tharynn Bouden vendor outside the DMF Portal in Elwynn Forest.

The Loose Stones are near the quest giver, near the entrance on the right.

Comment by Necropenguin

Like all of the other new Darkmoon Faire profession quests, this quest requires you to have a minimum of 75 skill points in the skill before you can accept it.

Comment by WoWTheoryCraft

One of the new patch 4.3 Darkmoon Faire profession quests, you must have at least 75 skill in Tailoring to see this quest.

Requires 1 Coarse Thread, 1 Red Dye and 1 Blue Dye which cannot be bought on Darkmoon Island so remember to bring some with you.

The profession quests can only be completed once during each Darkmoon Faire and will grant 5 skill points.

Quick summary of item requirements for Darkmoon Faire profession quests

Additional items required:

The nearest vendors to the Darkmoon Faire portals are Kuruk (H), Innkeeper Farley (A) for the Moonberry Juice and Shadi Mistrunner (H), Tharynn Bouden (A) for all the other trade goods. You'll have to collect the fossil fragments yourself. If you forgot to bring your fishing rod with you, Tatia Brine on Darkmoon Island sells fishing supplies.

For the Horde, if you forgot to pick up the Blue Dye, Red Dye, and Coarse Thread for this quest, run to the end of the Faire towards the sea to access a port back to Mulgore. Fly into Thunder Bluff and /tar Mahu (43.8,44.6) who is NW of the giant totem stairs containing the flight point in the center of Thunder Bluff.

The profession quests can only be completed once during each Darkmoon Faire and will grant 5 skill points.

I have enchanting (420) and tailoring (415) and I was able to do these quests on two consecutive days. However on the third day they didn't appear for me... sad panda.

Maybe just a happy glitch for me? ^_^

Comment by QuickBASIC

Even if you done the primary profession quests that week, if you drop a profession during Darkmoon Faire week, you can do the quests for the profession that you pick up as well. Even rewarding the achievement Faire Favors without completing one of the secondary skill quests such as Archaeology or Fishing.

Possibly means that if your toon has no professions you could conceivably do the quest for every primary profession each month, awarding you with 36 Darkmoon Prize Tickets instead of just 8. (Assuming you're willing to get each profession to 75 and really really want the tickets right meow.)

Comment by Cianxo

You can place a banner on top of a position where someone else had already placed the banner. However, this will make your quest item to disappear without you completing the quest. Resulting in that you have to go and get new materials for your banner. And abandoning the quest.

Also, if for some reason you did not do last month's monthly quest (changed profession in the middle, for example), the monthly reset happens with first daily reset during when the Faire is open. For simplicity; During the Saturday-Sunday night before dailies are reset, you can do last month's.. monthlies.

Comment by FangedFaerie

Has this (along with all the other profession quests) been removed with Patch 5.0.4?

Comment by AkarisLight

I can't reply to posts yet, so for those asking/wondering, this quest still exists as of 5.0.4. I got it from the darkmoon faire information guy at the front of the faire entrance (on the island, not the portal)

Comment by FuryWar

Finally found some loose stones. They weren't sparkling which made them trickier to find for me. Justkeep an eye open for a small group of stones, they should say "Loose Stones" if you mouse over them, then use your banners, and voila!

Comment by greylaw

If you forget to bring the dye and thread, Alliance can just go to the NPC Tharynn Bouden in Goldshire, who's directly in front of the portal on the other side of a cart when you use the dock portal out of Darkmoon Faire.

Tharynn Bouden

What remains beyond me - why does one need Red Dye and Blue Dye to create a green banner?

Comment by Shikamarana

Erect your banner from the stones

Comment by Deftonia

I can not complete this quest I have made the banner and then put it in the stones but never says completed. I keep abandoning and redoing it but still wont work does anyone know why?

Comment by Berna1

You have to have the ingredients for this quest in your bags, can't keep them in the reagents tab of your bank.

Comment by thulsadoom

Update: With patch 8.1 you will be awarded +5 skill for the latest profession obtained. You still need the required classic skill to get the quest. If you have Legion maxed out and do not have skill level 1 in BFA, you will not get the skill levels.

The profession quests only reward skill level if your "classic" skill level is under 300. I tested this with a toon with 280/300 cooking and was rewarded the +5 cooking skill points from the DMF quest. I am unsure if this change was intentional or not. I reported this as a bug.

This affects all quests that reward skill levels that changed in the BFA pre-patch including dailies such as Feeling Crabby?.

I have confirmed that Archaeology DMF quest still rewards your skill points if you are under 800 skill level. This was the only profession that was not changed in the latest patch.

Additionally, I verified the following quests will reward bonus skill levels if your "classic" skill level is under 300.

Cooking - Putting the crunch in the Frog
Engineering - Talkin' Tonks
Inscription - Writing your future

Comment by STS1985

Just tested, this quest does not appear to give any levels of Zandalari Tailoring.. :(

Comment by RenataKane

If your Darkmoon Faire profession quest is not showing as available, check your profession level for your Original (Vanilla 1-300) tier. If it is not at least 75 points, your profession quest will not show up, no matter how many points you have in other expansion pack tiers of your profession.

Comment by dapopeah

You must have the vanilla tailoring at 75 skill level or higher in order to see this quest. You can easily skill up our vanilla profession by making bandages from the tailoring window with whatever pre-legion cloth you have on hand.

Comment by Nadiv

Updated/fixed macros that shows if character completed profession quests (macro prints all professions names. Red color means that quest is completed):

Primary professions:
/run a=29506 c="\124cff" d={a,'Alch',a+2,'BS',a+4,'Ench',a+5,'Eng',a+8,'Herb',a+9,'Insc',a+10,'JC',a+12,'Min',a+11,'LW',a+13,'Skin',a+14,'Tailo'} for i=1,22,2 do print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(d) and c.."ff0000" or c.."00ff00", d) end

Secondary professions:
/run local d={29507,'Archaeology',29509,'Cooking',29513,'Fishing'} for i=1,6,2 do print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(d) and "\124cffff0000" or "\124cff00ff00", d) end

Quick macro - shows if ANY profession quest (primary of secondary) was completed (can be used to see if your current toon visited DMF island this event). Result is "Completed" or "Not Compelted":
/run a=29506;d={a,a+2,a+4,a+5,a+8,a+9,a+10,a+12,a+11,a+13,a+14,a+1,a+3,a+7};r=nil for i=1,14,1 do r = r or C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(d) end print(r and "\124cffff0000 " or "\124cff00ff00Not ", "Completed")

Comment by fateswarm

Hello fellow player that buys red blue and coarse before even entering the instance for the first time, we know the score, we hard core.

Comment by Scorcha

If you have maxed out your profession for the most recent expansion tier, this quest will grant 5 skill points in the next tier down, or if that is maxed, the next etc.

Comment by Aisenfaire

Highly recommend the addon DMF Quest (not mine, all credits to the author). It lists and lets you auto buy all the stuff you'll need for your relevant profession quests at the Darkmoon Faire, and shows you a completed or not completed status for each month when the Faire comes around.

Comment by betaloo

We will need to make the banner:
- 1 Coarse Thread
- 1 Red Dye
- 1 Blue Dye

Comment by geekySmurfer

Pick up the quest at:

/way 55.50 54.78

Found Loose Stones at:

/way 48.42 64.01

They are hard to see and don't really stand out.

Links

Banners, Banners Everywhere!

Use Coarse Thread, Red Dye, and Blue Dye with a Darkmoon Banner Kit to make a Darkmoon Banner, then set it up in a pile of Loose Stones on the grounds of the Darkmoon Faire.

	Plant Darkmoon Banner (1)
	Darkmoon Banner (1)

Provided item:

	Darkmoon Banner Kit (1)

Description

Isn't it wonderful to see Darkmoon banners everywhere? It's my favorite part of setting up, but we have so many old and tattered ones that need to be replaced.

If you've some skill with a needle and thread, would you mind making a banner from this kit and putting it up in some loose stones scattered around the grounds of the faire?

It's missing a few pieces, but you should be able to get what you need from any trade goods vendor in Elwynn Forest or Mulgore.
