5 guidesDarkmoon Firewater is a movement-speed consumable sold during the Darkmoon Faire. For gold-makers it is two things at once: a farming-efficiency buff that quietly raises your gold per hour on gathering and mob routes, and a time-boxed flip that only pays when you buy and sell on the right side of the Faire cycle.
