The Darkmoon Faire has quests for all primary professions- they each give 2 skill points and 3 knowledge points. Cooking & Fishing have quests that give 3 skill points. The knowledge points go directly into your pool, so they don’t generate Artisan’s Acuity. The skill points, by default, go to the current expansion’s profession skill, assuming you have leaned it. If you’ve maxxed it out, the skill points will go to older expansions that are trained and not maxxed out.
Some profession quests require reagents that can’t be purchased at the faire. Here’s what to buy before you take the portal:
