Noblegarden

Blizzard's version of Easter for the World of Warcraft. This is a week long event that, like most of the religious related events, has absolutely nothing to do with anything religion based. Your main goal behind the Noblegarden holiday?

Go egg-hunting. A lot.

The only quests involved with this holiday are ones that ask you to gather eggs. One of them is even a daily! So, seriously.. Get to gathering eggs. All of the achievements obtainable for this holiday require you to get something out of the eggs. Whether it be actual pieces of holiday clothing, or the chocolate that is then used to purchase items from the holiday vendor to participate in certain events.

Egg-Hunting. Serious business. Okay, screw this, time for the achievements.

• I Found One!: Remember how I told you to go egg-hunting already? You get this for finding an egg. Aren't you amazing?!

• Chocolate Lover/Chocoholic: For each egg that you gather up, you get a piece of Noblegarden Chocolate. You can either save these up and use them as currency, or devour 100 of them to get the two achievements. The first one is for eating 25. Keep eating all the way up to 100 and you get Chocoholic.

• Sunday's Finest: While you're out snatching up those brightly colored eggs for people to slow to get them before you can.. You're going to be on the look out for special clothing. To get this particular achievement, you're looking for a White Tuxedo Shirt and a pair of Black Tuxedo Pants. You have to acquire both through the eggs, no purchasing or trading counts. Neither of these items are soulbound, so you can pass them over to your bank toon or to someone that just wants to look dandy.

• Dressed For The Occasion: Keep cracking open those eggs until you found yourself with an Elegant Dress. How they stuffed this, or even the pants or shirt, inside of an egg is beyond me. Like the pants and shirt, you can't cheat your way out of this and get them traded over or purchase them through the vendor.

• Hard Boiled: As your picking up eggs, you have a random chance to be turned into a bunny. This achievement will require this form, but the easiest way to complete the achievement is to get a friend who has a Bountiful Branch on them. Head on down to the Un'goro Crater and meander over to the Golakka Hot Springs. Become a bunny, lay an egg under the hot water, and you're done.

• Spring Fling: By either purchasing the Spring Rabbit pet from the vendor or getting it from one of those brightly colored eggs, you're going to have to do some traveling. You have to go to each of the four starter locations where eggs are located and have your Spring Rabbit and someone else's Spring Rabbit.. Make babies. When they say "like rabbits," they weren't kidding.

• Noble Garden: Use some of that leftover chocolate that I know you're tired of throwing out or eating and purchase your very own Brightly Colored Egg. Head into Stormwind or Orgrimmar and drop it down. Pick it right back up. Achievement get! Plus, you have a "free" chance at getting another item. You'll probably just get more chocolate, though.

• Shake Your Bunny Maker: Take your Spring Flowers item and equip it. You'll either get these from an egg or from the holiday vendor. Run around like a chicken with its head cut off until you find someone who is over level 18.. And is of the female variety. Use the flowers! Pow! Free bunny ears. Over level 18 and bunny ears.. Hrmmm...

• Desert Rose: Don your "beautiful" Spring Robes, either from an egg or from the vendor, and begin your long trek. You have to head down to The Badlands, Silithus, Desolace, Thousand Needles, and Tanaris. By 'using' your robes, you'll plant a rose. Do this in every desert and this achievement proves you have a green thumb.

• Blushing Bride: Find a friend wearing the Elegant Dress, whether it be male or female. Throw on your White Tuxedo Shirt and Black Tuxedo Pants and throw them a kiss or two.

And because it totally matters, here comes the item collection list for this holiday. I'm not going to bother mentioning that you can obtain these items out of the eggs. I'm only going to list their vendor prices.

• Tome of Polymorph: Rabbit: For mages only. This can only be purchased from the holiday vendor for a grand total of 100 Noblegarden Chocolate. You have to be level 60 to learn it AND to purchase it.
• Spring Rabbit's Foot: It's a bunny! You can purchase it with 100 Noblegarden Chocolate. You'll need to get this pet eventually if you plan on completing the holiday meta.
• Spring Circlet: Net yourself your own pair of sexy bunny ears with this 50 Noblegarden Chocolate purchase.
• Elegant Dress: If you plan on being the bride who blushes, drop 50 Noblegarden Chocolate off at your local holiday vendor and prepare to be blown away with kisses.
• White Tuxedo Shirt: Are you too sexy for your shirt? Well, pick up this dandy formal wear for 25 Noblegarden Chocolate.
• Black Tuxedo Pants: Combine with the White Tuxedo Shirt for best effect. For 25 Noblegarden Chocolate.
• Spring Robes: If you plan on going on a flower planting spree, you're going to need these robes. They put Harvest Moon to shame. To get your green thumb on, you only need 50 Noblegarden Chocolate.
• Spring Flowers: Want to become Hugh Hefner? Need some 'Bunnies? Grab a bouquet of Spring Flowers and get to hip-hopping. 50 Noblegarden Chocolate at your local 'Bunny Manor.
• Egg Basket: Completing the quest to gather 10 pieces of Noblegarden Chocolate nets you this item. It's an off-hand frill equip that gives you a 60% run speed increase for 10 seconds, on a 10 second cooldown. So you can spam it to gather eggs.

The fact that it took me this long to post a blog about this holiday is ridiculous and I feel like a huge failure for it.

Also, I don't think my lame jokes for the items could have gotten any worse.

Warrior: The Noble of '09. Had all achievements completed in two days.

Paladin: The Noble of '09. Had all achievements completed two days after my Warrior's meta was completed.

Druid: The Noble of '09. Had all achievements completed the day after my Paladin's meta was completed.

Death Knight: The Noble of '10. Had all achievements completed in two days. There's a pattern here..

Mage: The Noble of '09. Had all achievements completed between my Warrior's meta completion and when I started my Paladin's meta.

Rogue: Not a Noble. There needs to be some bunny love, bunny makin' shakin', a lovely dress, some bride kissing, some desert roses, and a hard boiled egg.
