Noblegarden is Coming: April 1st - April 8

by Blizzard Entertainment 29 Mar 2013 13:04 GMT

The great feast of Noblegarden has long been celebrated by the races of the Alliance and recently adopted by those of the Horde. During this joyous event, it is customary for the nobles and lords from each race to hide coins, candy, and the occasional treasures within special eggs painted to look like wildflowers. These eggs are then scattered around major cities for the citizenry to find.

From heroes to commoners and everyone in between, the feast of Noblegarden is meant to bring communities together to share the joy of life and friendship.

MORE ABOUT NOBLEGARDEN

Though its origins are steeped in druidic festivals from times long past, the current incarnation of Noblegarden is a contrast between ancient traditions and modern interpretations. While some races of Azeroth try to stay true to the original spirit of the holiday, others prefer a more lighthearted approach -- in essence, looking everywhere for festively decorated eggs and collecting the goodies found within.

Whether you celebrate Noblegarden in the traditional manner or you have a yearning for chocolates and festive garments, we hope you’re able to come together and give yourselves a break from the conflict between Horde and Alliance.

ABOUT NOBLEGARDEN

During the feast of Noblegarden, towns throughout Azeroth are liberally sprinkled with decorated eggs for players to collect. These eggs contain treats fit for kings and commoners!

Activities
Egg Hunt	Search in low-level towns for Brightly Colored eggs; some are well-hidden, while others are in plain view. Race against fellow heroes in an egg-gathering blitz to grab as many eggs as you can! Increase your speed in egg hunt areas with the Egg Basket, available from Noblegarden merchants and vendors.
Collect Noblegarden Chocolate	The contents of the eggs may vary, but they most often contain chocolates (the delicious currency of Noblegarden), rare special items, and fun items like toys and costumes. You can use chocolates to purchase items from Noblegarden merchants and vendors.
Daily Quests	The Great Egg Hunt rewards you with gold and humanoid-transforming Blossoming Branches in exchange for Brightly Colored Shell Fragments gathered during your travels.
Dress for the occasion	A selection of unique clothing is available to help you join in the festivities. Celebrate Noblegarden and the return of spring with charming outfits that can be purchased from Noblegarden merchants and vendors, or found inside Brightly Colored eggs.

Merchants and Vendors
These professional hoarders hope to benefit from your egg hunting by exchanging trinkets for Noblegarden Chocolate. They’ll trade you toys that transform others into rabbits (or rabbit-like humanoids), festive clothing, mounts, and more for your leftover confections. Find out more by clicking on the tabs above.
