Whether you’re farming for the wicked 
Darkfuse Demolisher mount or the super suave 
Darkfuse Lowdown Coat transmog, the Darkfuse Solutions rep has been a popular, but particularly painful, grind since the secretive fifth cartel emerged in Patch 11.1. Never fear, though, for a few lucky in-game event overlaps will have you racing through the rep grind this holiday season.
Thank You, Reddit!
Intrepid explorer Morbanth first drew attention to these overlaps in his post on the WoW subreddit:
Unfortunately, the Winds of Mysterious Fortune event has disappeared from Blizzard’s latest 11.2.7 roadmap, leaving players wondering whether this event will be returning with the patch after all. However, there are still TWO separate reputation-boosting events active right now:
- Pilgrim’s Bounty is active through November 30. Eating five of each food from around the Pilgrim’s Bounty table will grant you The Spirit of Sharing buff, which increases reputation gain by 10% for one hour.
- WoW’s 21st Anniversary is active until December 7. You receive a base 10% reputation gain just by logging in during the Anniversary event, but completing the Celebrate Good Fun! daily quest will also reward you an additional buff for a total of 20% reputation gain from this event alone.
Even if the Winds of Mysterious Fortune have disappeared from the upcoming patch, rep farmers shouldn’t fret! You still have another big reputation boost to look forward to: on one singular Sunday morning, there is a sliver of overlap between the beginning of the Darkmoon Faire and the end of the Anniversary event. If you’ve already done the bulk of your Market Research farming, holding onto these turn-ins until the morning of December 7th will ensure you get a reputation boost from both the Faire (via WHEE or 
Darkmoon Top Hat) AND the 21st Anniversary event (be sure you’ve completed your Celebrate Good Fun! daily).
Darkfuse Problems? Darkfuse Solutions!
If you have yet to start the long trek through the Darkfuse Solutions reputation, now’s as good a time as any to start; it’s not likely we’ll have such a nice lineup of reputation buffs again anytime soon. Take a peek at our article on unlocking this reputation before you dive in.
Happy researching!
