Treasure Hunt: Silas’ Secret Stash

Treasure Hunting is a challenging and fun mini game in which players follow a trail of clues in order to find the hidden treasure. This is also the case for Silas' Secret Stash, also known as the Darkmoon Treasure, a treasure hunt available to both Horde and Alliance players during the Darkmoon Faire.

At the end of this treasure hunt you will receive 100 Darkmoon Prize Tickets, which is great for purchasing mounts, pets, toys and other collectibles.

New in The War Within

Darkmoon Prize Tickets can now be transferred between any Warband characters by using the transfer option in the currency tab. This great for players that are missing expensive mounts such as the Darkmoon Dirigible!

The quest can be started by level 15 characters, which means that you can create Allied Race characters or Pandaren Death Knights, level them to 15, and then quickly complete Silas' Secret Stash for 100 tickets!
