Noblegarden has been immensely reworked that most of what you will be doing is completely new. This guide is composed of educated guesses on how difficult the achievement on this realms are plus tips on how to get moving towards these achievements. You only need to worry about the achievements in meta. Sit back and relax your way as the quest for achievements is based on luck and doesn’t count toward Noble Gardener.
The Basics of the Improved Noblegarden
• The level 5 towns pretty much holds the contents (e.g. Azure Watch, Dolanaar, Goldshire, and Kharanos for Alliance, and Bloodhoof Village, Brill, Falconwing Square, and Razor Hill for the Horde). Brightly Colored Eggs will spawn in and around these towns for the duration of the celebration (April 26th through May 2nd).
• The number of eggs spawned has been massively increased. Don’t expect for great difficulty on getting enough eggs. Any player’s looting of one egg automatically spawns another elsewhere.
• Watch out for Noblegarden chocolate dropped from most egg spawns. These chocolates can be used to purchase items like a new noncombat pet, Noblegarden clothing, and other items you’ll need for some of the achievements. Buying all of the items you’ll need a total of 365 chocolates. It is attainable given that many of the achievement-linked items can also be discovered randomly in eggs. If you get lucky, you probably won’t need 365.
• Earn your own name title when you complete the meta-achievement Noble Gardener which will reward the title “(Name) the Noble.”
• The easiest out of all this achievement is to find one brightly colored egg. It will be the first of many hundreds you will probably need for the meta-achievement.
Desert Rose
You’ll need Spring Robes which allow you to plant a flower on a 1-minute cool down. Get this item from a Noblegarden vendor and that’ll run you 50 Noblegarden chocolates or a lucky drop. 4 out of the 5 locations here are in Kalimdor, which will cut down on your travel time somewhat. However, you’ll still need to make the hike to the Badlands at some point.
Hard Boiled
The easiest way to do this (short of getting lucky with an egg granting the Noblegarden bunny buff) is to head down to Un’goro with a friends who’ve bought the Blossoming Branch (which is a very easy purchase for 10 Noblegarden chocolates). The Hot Springs are the lake area to the west of the central mountain in Un’goro. Head down, have your friend cast the buff, and wait until you lay an egg (it’s a periodic trigger). Be sure to bring your own Branch so you can return the favor.
If you do get the bunny buff from a random egg, like most costumes, you’ll lose it by shape shifting, mounting, or taking a flight path. It sounds theoretically possible to do this achievement without outside help, it’ll take you an awful lot longer given that the closest level-5 town to Un’goro is Bloodhoof Village and that’s an awfully long walk.
Noble Garden (Alliance) or Noble Garden (Horde)
This Noble garden achievement requires you to buy a Noblegarden egg from a vendor (worth 5 chocolates). If you’re Horde, head to Silvermoon; if you’re Alliance, head to Stormwind. Right-click your egg to spawn a Brightly Colored Egg. Quite interestingly, on the PTR you could loot the egg after you placed it, thus “refunding” yourself a chocolate.
Chocoholic
In addition to saving enough chocolates for the purchase of items you need for the other achievements, you’ll need to eat 100 yummy chocolates over the course of the week. It may again sound too many to collect but it is a little less than 15 chocolates a day if you break them down instead of saving them up and eating them in one big marathon.
Spring Fling (Alliance) or Spring Fling (Horde)
This goal will run you 100 Noblegarden chocolates in order to buy the new noncombat pet or the Spring Rabbit. What do you get for your hard-won confectionaries? The pet has a fairly unique behavior; like Stinker. It falls in love and, surprisingly as a T-rated game, makes babies. Leave your Spring Rabbit in proximity to someone else’s Spring Rabbit and obviously you’ll get more rabbits. Parents may want to keep their own children away from the monitor for the duration of this episode unless they want the subject of “the talk” to be prompted by the sight of multiplying rabbits.
Shake Your Bunny Maker
Next on the line-up is placing bunny ears on 18+. You’ll need to buy Spring Flowers for 50 chocolates to let you place bunny ears on other players. You can place bunny ears on your own toon (helpful if you play a female, which lets you knock one of the requirements out right off the bat), but otherwise you’re going to have to start hunting down female toons of each race.
It is really easy it find females of certain races (e.g. Trolls, Orcs, Tauren, and Dwarves). At desperate times, the last resort of getting this achievement done is to roll a female DK of the race your friends need, and having them summoned somewhere convenient and then having a friend do the same for you.
Blushing Bride
You should put aside at least 50 chocolates for the formal wear. When we say formalwear, it doesn’t mean the white-quality Tailoring stuff anybody can get. You’ll need to get these pieces as drops from eggs, or buy them from a Noblegarden vendor. The pants and shirt cost 25 chocolates each, and the dress costs 50.
Once you add up all of the items you’ll need for the meta-achievement, with a worst-case scenario (such as. very unfortunate with drops from eggs, and you have to buy everything) you’ll need to have 365 chocolates stashed away (add 50 more if you also buy an Elegant Dress to help friends who desperately need a Blushing Bride). Don’t forget that you’ve got until May 2nd to achieve these goals.
