As befits a proper fair, there is also a fortune teller at the Darkmoon Faire in WoW Classic. Sayge can be found in Elwynn Forest at (41 | 69) and Mulgore at (36 | 38).
At Sayge you get 2-hour buffs and a fortune on top of that. During your visit, Sayge will ask you two questions with multiple answer options. The choice of your answers determines which buff you get. In the following table you can see which buffs are available and which answer options you have to choose:
| Buff | Effect | Answer 1 | Answer 2 |
|---|---|---|---|
 Sayge's Dark Fortune of Agility | +10% Agility | 3 | 3 |

After receiving the buff, you will also receive a Darkmoon fortune from Sayge. There are 29 of them in total. Most of them offer a clever saying such as “Those with simple tastes are always satisfied with the best.” or “Time is nothing; timing is everything.”.
However, four of the fortunes start a quest in which you will receive an 
Mysterious Lockbox as a reward at the end. The items it contains scale with your level. These can be food, crafting components, potions, and random green items. However, there are also reports about included blue items, recipes, and bags.

Sayge's Fortune #23What are Darkmoon Faire Prize Ticket?
Darkmoon Faire Prize Ticket is a currency in WoW Classic that can be exchanged for valuable items at the Darkmoon Faire. Darkmoon Faire Prize Ticket is earned by completing repeatable quests at the Darkmoon Faire.
Each of the repeatable quests belongs to one of five tiers. The tier determines how many Darkmoon Faire Prize Ticket you receive per turn-in and what minimum level is required for the quest.
Regardless of the tier, you also receive 100 reputation with the Darkmoon Faire faction with every turn-in – but only up to a certain threshold. Once this value is reached, you will no longer receive reputation with this tier, but you will still receive tickets. Reputation at the Darkmoon Faire does not provide you with any additional bonuses or benefits, aside from the merchant discount available with each reputation faction.
