Do Sayge's Buffs from Darkmoon Faire Work in Raid Instances (Classic Anniversary)?

Hey everyone,

Quick question regarding the Sayge buffs from the Darkmoon Faire in the WoW Classic Anniversary version.

Historically, these buffs did not work inside raid instances, even though the icon would remain visible. Has this behavior changed in the Anniversary version? Are Sayge’s buffs now actually applied and effective during raids like Molten Core, BWL, or Naxx?

I haven’t been able to find an up-to-date or official answer, so I’d really appreciate any confirmation—especially if someone has tested it or if there’s a blue post.

Thanks in advance!

Afaik they have always worked inside instances except for Seasons of Mastery. What is your source for them not working?

Perhaps he means wbuffs didnt work in raids from TBC and onward, when Blizzard fixed this unintended exploit in retail WoW. They do work in Anniversary, until TBC prepatch anyway.

Yes, I remember that this buff was kind of bugged or even intended not to work in raids, as stated on both the Warcraft Wiki and Wowpedia.

These sources explicitly mention that Sayge’s buffs are removed(or not working) upon entering most raid or PvP instances.

That said, I’ve seen conflicting discussions over time — maybe the confusion is just on my side, or maybe it’s something that changed between different versions like Classic Era, Season of Mastery, or the current Anniversary Edition.

If anyone has recently tested the +10% damage buff inside a raid instance during the Anniversary, I’d genuinely be curious to know the result. That would definitely help clear things up!

Thank you!

I can 100% confirm Sayge’s 10% dmg Black Hedgehog Dark Blessing works in search of pink number on lumberjack website.
