Noblegarden


Noblegarden, which has been fully revamped this year, started Sunday morning at midnight, and ends May 2. That's plenty of time to finish the achievements, according to personal experience. In two hours of work you can get half of them done (Or more, if you're lucky, unlike me). Both WoWHead and WoWInsider have excellent guides, so I won't write one here, but I do have some tips.

If you are looking to get as many eggs as possible, as fast as possible, and with as little effort as possible, as most of us are, camp a spawn location instead of running around to multiple spawn locations. Whenever someone anywhere in the zone loots an egg one spawns immediately, so if you find a good spot with two spawn locations that can both be reached from the same location, camp it (if few others, or preferably none, are camping it already).

Many people say "Go to zone X" or "Go to zone Y, and look in the following spots." The truth: Go to whatever zone you like the most. If one zone was way better, it'd be overcamped, which would make the other zones better. The blue of the eggs stands out the same amount whether it's in dark grass (Teldrassil), light grass (Eversong) or snow (Dun Morogh). Durotar has eggs standing out more, but because it is the main capital of the Horde, it has more players. Whatever zone you like best is where you should go.

Also, don't buy anything! First, use 100 chocolates to get the achievement for it, then 10 chocolates to finish the quest. By the time you get 110 chocolates, chances are you'll already have gotten several of the items you can buy from the vendors. Once you've finished the first 110, you can buy whatever you like with any other chocolates you get.

A common misunderstanding is you need 125 chocolates for the chocolate eating achievments. Because the second one is a meta achievement, the first 25 you eat will count towards the second achievement (The meta achievement).

Also several players, myself included, have a bug where the number of chocolates eaten will reset to 0 (Or 25 if you completed the first) if you log out and back in. I am unable to confirm this bug among a larger number of players. This is not just a UI bug- it really will make you eat all the chocolate again. Easy solution to this problem, though, is simple: Eat mor choklit.

Happy hunting!
