While in possession of this item, you're able to scout for the Darkmoon Faire artifacts:

Tagebuch eines gefallenen Abenteurers - Turns in for 5 tickets, obtained from player corpses in battlegrounds.
Banner der Gefallenen - Turns in for 5 tickets, obtained from player corpses in battlegrounds.
Erobertes Insigne - Turns in for 5 tickets, obtained from player corpses in battlegrounds.
Energiegetränkter Kristall - Turns in for 10 tickets, obtained from dungeon bosses.
Monströses Ei - Turns in for 10 tickets, obtained from dungeon bosses.
Geheimnisvoller Zauberfoliant - Turns in for 10 tickets, obtained from dungeon bosses.
Verzierte Waffe - Turns in for 10 tickets, obtained from dungeon bosses.
Abhandlung zu strategischem Vorgehen - Turns in for 15 tickets, obtained from heroic dungeon bosses.

All related to the achievement Darkmoon Despoiler, you get a total of 80 tickets from these turn-ins only, and they can be done once every faire.

Kommentar von Toggol

This can be obtained from Selina Dourman, who stands on the left-side of the entrance to the Darkmoon Faire.
Just ask her about the Darkmoon Adventurer's Guide, and she'll give you a replacement.

This is only necessary for people who have already completed the quest The Darkmoon Faire before Darkmoon Island was released, or for those who have misplaced their manuals.

Renamed from Darkmoon Field Guide to Darkmoon Adventurer's Guide in the latest 4.3 PTR build.

Darkmoon Faire Greeter

Mysteries and wonders surround us every day, not just at the faire. We've compiled a list of some of the wonders you may encounter in your every day business. The Darkmoon Adventurer's Guide will help you navigate the wonders of the world.

With the guide in your possession, you may come across items you never knew existed. Items you may have taken for granted in the past are now treasures that others long for.

Keep the guide with you, and keep your eyes open for mystery.

If you happen to loose your guide, seek us out and we will replace it for free.

Talk to Begrüßerin des Dunkelmond-Jahrmarkts/Begrüßerin des Dunkelmond-Jahrmarkts to get a free Abenteuerführer des Dunkelmond-Jahrmarkts that will allow you to loot these items:

Abhandlung zu strategischem Vorgehen
Tagebuch eines gefallenen Abenteurers
Banner der Gefallenen
Erobertes Insigne
Energiegetränkter Kristall
Monströses Ei

Kommentar von Ramsden

I've spoken to her, ask her about it but I don't have it in my bags. Don't even get an option to replace it?

Kommentar von Ramsden

Yeah i've tried that, searched my bags and my bank and don't have anything. Is there anyone i'm supposed to speak to before talking to her?

Kommentar von 253658

I also couldn't get the guide on some of my characters. Eventually I realized that the chars who couldn't get the guide were the same ones who had a Free Ticket Voucher gathering dust in the bank because they'd never turned in that intro quest way back when. (You know how it is with alts.)

I grabbed the Voucher, turned in the quest, and the reward was five tickets plus the Adventurer's Guide. Problem solved.

Kommentar von Ramsden

I don't have any old tickets in the bank, and I don't have any quests available from the npcs who transport you there either :S I'm just simply not getting the guide, i've opened a ticket.

Kommentar von 919304

There was an older version of the quest so if it was completed you can't do it again for the voucher. Just port to the island and talk to the Undead when you first walk in on the left and she'll give you a guide book.

Kommentar von jonrock

Will carrying this around to collect the items work when it *isn't* a DMF week?

Kommentar von 871222

actually u can find the giude to the talking npc close to the portal in mulgore for the horde....

Kommentar von Arcedis

"Oh, did I mention that you can use the Field Guide to get to Darkmoon Island whenever the Darkmoon Faire’s monthly extravaganza is up and running?"

Quoted from http://us.battle.net/wow/en/blog/3390849. Yet, it doesn't seem to work as a teleport.

Kommentar von BuckLee

Just go visit one of the DMF Greeters by the portals in Elwynn or Mulgore. They have an option to ask for another guide, so you can get one from them.

Kommentar von BeerWolf

Quick question --- Would these artifacts still drop, while carrying this when it's no longer DMF week?

Kommentar von Kamikaze28

We now have confirmation from Blizzard, that the Adventurer's Guide will allow us to collect artifacts between Faires:

Just to clarify one point, the quest drops that happen in the dungeons/raids/BG’s happen all the time, even if the faire isn’t in town. Think of it sort of like the Darkmoon Card redemptions. You’re out playing all month, while you’re doing stuff you’re getting chances at the items, then when the faire is in town you turn it all in. (It’s also worth pointing out that the turn-in items aren’t soulbound, so just like the cards I’d expect some people to farm them just to put them up on the AH.)

Source
I have to agree with Bashiok. Come the next Faire, the people who care about Tickets will have all necessary artifacts in store and immediately cache in 80 Prize Tickets.

Kommentar von Ocypete

This item can also be obtained from the Darkmoon Faire Greeter located in Goldshire. The Horde version is in Mulgore. Hope this helps.

Kommentar von Scientia

What is an "appropriately challenging dungeon?" I ask because I got a darkmoon card(are the cards even a part of this?) while running Heroic Ramparts for rep at level 85, but i've not seen anything while running Random Hour of Twilight Heroics.

Kommentar von DarkRash

It has been confirmed that having this even while you are not in Darkmoon Faire week , it will still grant you drops from bosses and battleground loots :) hope it help and have fun farming :)

Kommentar von ScarlettP

I'm in the same boat with Ramsden. When I put in a ticket, I only got a note in the mail telling me that the Blizz team doesn't help with quests so, basically "Tough stuff! Go read Wowhead and leave us alone."

The Quest giver next to the flight path tower in Thunderbluff only teleported me. She never gave me the Quest to go to DMF and receive the book and free tickets. I've tried to speak to all the NPC listed but none of them gave me the option to get a replacement book because I never had one. I do not have the item in my bags or bank. I do not have an old Free Ticket Voucher nor anything else that says "Darkmoon", "Ticket", "Voucher", or "Guide".

Darkmoon Faire ends tomorrow and I can't get the stinking book. I am not a happy camper.

Kommentar von ShrekfromAzgalor

I got it on my rogue and my hunter, but for some stupid reason I couldn't get it on my priest. I tripled checked my bank and bags and found no Guide. =(

Kommentar von 931006

Seems like darkmoon quest items now only drops from an appropriately-challenging dungeons. I've kill at least 40 bosses in low-level dungeons(who drops them), with my 85 - and didn't got anything. Can anyone confirm?

Kommentar von Artaios

Will you get the drops if this is in your bank?

I don't want to test it and miss out on drops :)

EDIT: Gotta love pathetic *!@#$% bags that down rate a perfectly viable question. GDIAF

Kommentar von pkmn

has any1 tried farming wrath dungeons for the artifacts?

Kommentar von 919440

If carrying both the Darkmoon Adventurer's Guide and the Lovely Charm Collector's Kit, you will only get a Grisly Trophy and not a Lovely Charm with a qualifying kill. After you collect all 250 Grisly Trophies, however, Lovely Charms will automatically start to drop even with either the Darkmoon Adventurer's Guide still in your inventory or Test Your Strength quest not turned in.

Edit: Turns out this is only true with certain mobs. Some npcs will drop a Lovely Charm. You definitely can't get both a Charm and a Trophy from the same killing blow, but you can collect both on the run depending on what you kill.

Edit 2: Hotfix on 02-08-12 (http://us.battle.net/wow/en/blog/4023884): "Players now have the chance to receive both the Lovely Charm and Grisly Trophy from a single kill."

Kommentar von Karadine

As of the maintenance reboots on 2012/02/07, the bug was fixed.

Patch 4.3 Hotfixes - February 7

Love is in the Air

Players are now able to receive Lovely Charms while on the quest "Beweist Eure Stärke", when the player's inventory has both the Abenteuerführer des Dunkelmond-Jahrmarkts and Sammelset für hübsche Glücksbringer.
Players now have the chance to receive both the Hübscher Glücksbringer and Grausige Trophäe from a single kill.

Kommentar von Valoruum

I've currently got a ticket in for this weirdness:

I had the old flyer in my bags. Deleted it, stupidly.

Now, I can't get the journal. It's not in my bags, and not in my bank. The npc's, however, talk to me like it IS on my person.

And now for the weirdest part: much to my surprise, I'm still collecting Grisly Trophies. Somehow, the game (npc's and grisly trophy hander outer alike) perceive the journal to be in my bag...even though it is clearly not there.

Kommentar von 983331

Do you need this in your bag to be able to loot/ roll on the darkmoon dungeon and bg quest items?

Kommentar von Johnex

You must have this item in your bag to loot the PVP Darkmoon Drops, from the enemies insignia.
One party member must have this item in their bag for a PVE Darkmoon to drop from the last boss of many instances.

I highly recomend carrying this item on you at all times, especially trying to capture peoples Insignia in PVP, whether you have completed these quests or not this items can sell at a good price on Auction House.

Kommentar von 534766

Does anyone know for whether the Darkmoon Adventurer's guide causes the rep items for the DMF to drop in the MoP dungeons? I haven't seen any drop whilst leveling two characters to 90 and farming for heroic drops.

Edit: And before anyone brings it up, both characters had the Darkmoon Adventurer's Guide in their inventory.

Kommentar von Evenuel

Sadly, in battlegrounds this only gives a token when you get a killing blow.. :( No easy way to farm them and conquest points together, especially if you're a healer.

Kommentar von Teerai

I feel like they missed an excellent opportunity for a reference to Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Kommentar von Wimbleton

I was under the impression that you could have this in your bank rather than in your bags but I noticed that a new character I was leveling who had it in his bank wasn't getting any Grisly Trophies. When I put the Guide in his bags, everything worked fine.

Kommentar von corners

Turning in all the quests books leaves you just 15 tickets short of getting a pet. So you should be able to get a pet per darkmoon cycle from just doing dailies for a few days after turning these in. One day if you turn in the 250 kill quests you can do monthly.

Kommentar von 1389495

i cant read it lol

Kommentar von SilverWarden

Has this not been updated to drop items from WoD dungeon/raid bosses?

Kommentar von tooltip

The question:

@WarcraftDevs ((Why does Darkmoon Adventurer's Guide not work in WoD content? Never see an artifact drop in instances.))

Reply from @WarcraftDevs (source):

@AliokWOWDB That item is currently being revamped and will make its triumphant return very soon!

I'm not entirely sure what that answer is supposed to mean. As far as I'm aware, the guide works in older content - just not Warlords of Draenor content. And why has nothing been officially said until now? (Why not in the fairly recent Darkmoon Faire blog, too?) The Darkmoon Adventurer's Guide is rather important for accumulating DMF tickets via monthly quest turn-ins.

Allowing an item that silently fails to work for the current expansion's content is bad form, Blizzard. Players should know up-front if there's as big an exception to an item's functionality as exists in this case. There's the blogs, Twitter, Facebook, /r/wow, a slew of fansites... not that hard to communicate!

(Sorry for the rant, folks. My jimmies get rustled by this sort of stuff.)

Kommentar von xtc90

With 6.2 it seems the drop chance for the items seem to have been greatly improved. I did the Midsummer event The Frost Lord Ahune,Timewarp Dungeons,WoD dungeons & raids and already got like 8 items in 3 days.

Edit: Has been fixed as of June 30

Darkmoon Faire Adventure Guide items again drop at the expected rate.

Kommentar von Zapph

@WarcraftDevs 6.2 update: (Sou rce)

The items that used to drop from specific bosses (e.g. Wahrsagerrunen) can now drop from any appropriate-level dungeon or raid boss and some higher-level trash.

Kommentar von Cierona

tl;dr If you want the best chance of getting artifacts, queue specific for the highest level dungeon available to you.

-

It would seem, at lower levels at least, that the "appropriately-challenging dungeons" are not those that you will normally enter when choosing random dungeons, but are instead the highest available dungeon that can be queued specifically.

I created a new character, got my Darkmoon Guide at level 15, and queued for randoms. I completed a RFC, DM, WC, 2xSFK, and then about a dozen Stockades runs at level 25 (with locked XP), and didn't see a single Darkmoon Artifact. I then queued specific choosing Gnomeregan, and while I didn't get any drops in the first half of the dungeon, I had all 5 occur after entering the ring with the Electrocutioner in the middle.

There's also the experience of a great many Starter Edition players, who can regularly get all 5 artifacts in a single Stockades run (and they'll rarely have to run that dungeon more than 3 times to get all 5), while rarely seeing anything when queued for randoms (which are almost exclusively WC and SFK at 20).

Kommentar von Destruktio

Been farming random heroic at level 100 for 2 hours now with no drops. This seems to be bugged.

Kommentar von nexos10

Just need to make sure you have the Abenteuerführer des Dunkelmond-Jahrmarkts in your bags

Kommentar von Minetje

I don't realy understand why there are so many people complaining about this being bugged and others even crafting complete theories on how to maximize the ammount of drops when I cant figure out why in God's name Blizzard didn't make the dropped items stackable ... These things are seriously flooding most my character's banks and my personal guildbank . Im considering throwing my Abenteuerführer des Dunkelmond-Jahrmarkts in the bank to manage the flow of incomming Darkmoonqueststarting items .
And trying to sell the surplus on the auctionhouse is a waste of time since pretty much every player has this item on one or more characters

Kommentar von pat33

The fist Legion dungeon I had: every boss gave me a Quest Item*

But when I reached Lvl 110 nothing! It's about 2 months like this and still nothing in heroic also.

Darkmoon Adventurer's Guide

Kommentar von Icemagic

My backpack has unofficially become a 15 slot over the years because of this 'guide'.

Kommentar von Zimzane

If you have misplaced your Darkmoon Adventurer's Guide, or missed the quest that leads to it, talk to Selina Dourman, the NPC who stands at the bottom of the hill, as you head into the Darkmoon Faire, on the left-side next to the Tailoring Quest.
Just ask her about the Darkmoon Adventurer's Guide, and she'll give you a replacement.

Kommentar von darthgummibear

Been having serious issues with this on the latest DMF. The first toon I got the guide on got 5-6 of the artifacts from the first dungeon I ran, in the 40's. I've been running a lot of dungeons the last couple days on low level toons and I haven't gotten a single artifact on any of my characters after that first grouping. Has something changed I'm not aware of, or am I bugged?

Kommentar von Bellexandria

I could not for the life of me figure out why I didn't have a Abenteuerführer des Dunkelmond-Jahrmarkts or why I couldn't obtain it. I couldn't see the quest to get it, and when I talked to Selina Sauermann there was no option to obtain it. Turns out I had a REALLY ancient version of the quest to get the Abenteuerführer des Dunkelmond-Jahrmarkts that I never turned in. So I abandoned that and I was able to pick up the quest to finally get it. I hope this helps someone who was as lost as I was on why this didn't work :(

Iam getting no items from BFA dungeons. Currently leveling my DK, and I didn't get a single drop so far.

Kommentar von Begforair

Does this drop from Timewalking Dungeons? (late BFA)

Kommentar von DollyLox

If you need to a new one you can talk to Darkmoon Faire Greeter standing outside the purple green tent beside the portal who will give you another for free.

Kommentar von fateswarm

Did they forget to make it work in SL? I have it always in my bags, and I get nothing.

Kommentar von Vzaj

You can actually find "Selina Dourman" on the left at the first Darkmoon Faire mini-game (left of where you buy game tokens)

Kommentar von Nefram

Is this broken in DF? It says it works in BGs and Raids but I get nothing when in either. Was doing Grand Hunt on the Plains in a raid, got nothing, did Comp Stomp and got nothing.
