Get “Sprung.” As in, Spring Has.
Noblegarden is spectacular—a true vision of Azeroth at its finest. I only had to snag my first egg from the cotton-tailed clutches of a Hunter-turned-rabbit to receive a stream of grammatically incorrect vitriol. I love this. First of all, I’m terribly sorry that you can’t click as quickly as I can. Second, I’m disappointed that your retorts are neither clever nor funny. Third, you have only inspired me to poach as many eggs from you as I possibly can while simultaneously reporting and throwing you on ignore.
That’s beside the point. This newly-revamped in-game holiday is awesome for ERPers and fans of collecting scandalous and/or useless costumes. For all of you over-achievers who have no compunctions about sitting and doing completely mundane and occasionally frustrating things for hours on end, this is the shit for you. Fortunately, even if you’re completely unlucky, you can complete all the achievements for the meta (i.e. the mini-achievements that will get you the Noble title) using the Noblegarden Chocolates you find in the Brightly Colored Eggs. Unfortunately, that can take some time. Here’s a quick look of what you need if you want only the meta:
- Spring Rabbit’s Foot: 100 chocolates
- Spring Flowers: 50 chocolates
- Noblegarden Egg: 5 chocolates
- White Tuxedo Shirt: 25 chocolates
- Black Tuxedo Pants: 25 chocolates
- Spring Robes: 50 chocolates
- 110 extra chocolates: this fulfills your initial quest to get your Easter Basket and also nets you a stomachache and the Chocoholic achievement.
That’s a total of 365 eggs. What about the Spring Circlet and Elegant Robes? Technically, you don’t need those. The ears are totally just for fun (and for the record, you can use your Spring Flowers to put the ears on yourself) and you only need to find another person wearing the dress to get your Blushing Bride achievement done. So how the fuck do you get all those eggs? The best thing you can do is find a decent spot to camp out and stand around like a champ until they do. Here’s my suggestion: Dolanaar. I pick this not because I’m a Night Elf, but mostly because it has potential to be “less crowded,” and also because I found really awesome spawn points there.Â
When you get to the Inn, go around to the left side near the Stable Master.Â
One egg spawns on top of the wooden doodad, one egg spawns behind the wooden doodad, and another spawns in the bushes. You can position yourself in such a fashion (all up ons the Stable Master) that you can grab each of these eggs in rapid succession when they spawn. It’s not fun. You do this because you want the stupid title and potentially a proto in your future, and you must understand that it’s more boring than fishing. The rest of the achievements end up being very self-explanatory.
While I’m at it, let it be known that I updated the Ulduar DPS Loot List, and let me direct you all to a new Priest blog called “Maintaining Discipline.” Laney is a Holy/Disc Priest, one of ECR’s raid leaders, and just so happened to find some inspiration lately to start a blog. Go offer some words of encouragement!Â
And sadly, just as we welcome another blogger to the ever-expanding sphere, another leaves. Megan, from Out of Mana, is stepping down and pursuing other worthwhile life experiences. I recommend pole-dancing and makeouts. Drop her a line, wish her good-luck, and parse through her old entries full of advice, biting wit, and “slick” graphics. Take care, yo.

I should do one of these for hordies on the spots I found in Bloodhoof Village. I circled four spots for over an hour and snagged enough eggs to do everything but buy a bunny and an egg to plant, along with two flower bouquets, a full tuxedo, three extra tuxedo shirts…
Did you know you can dual-wield flowers? Now you know. It doesn’t count as being armed, though.
Yeah. There’s also another three-spawn point spot on the other side of the ramp here, near the bench/bush. I had terrible RNG luck for awhile, so I ended up staying up super late to finish it on Sunday.
And yes, actually. You can equip the Spring Flowers and the Egg Basket all at once. You can even accidentally leave the Spring Flowers equipped during Mimiron and still do 3900 DPS. Oops.
Oh yeah, and how goes the Sekrit Projekt? Did that change I suggested help?
No.
I actually ended up completely rewriting it and got very excited, because when I logged in I wasn’t getting any errors. Unfortunately, it still doesn’t work.
I love holiday achievements
Noble Garden is also my first title/holiday achievement finished (since I hit 80 a few weeks ago, and now people can’t fuss at me to go level instead of standing in front of spawn waits waiting for some eggs). My favorite spot was in Azure Watch with the benches near the middle, 3 near each bench (3 benches in total) but others seemed to have discovered it as well and at certain times of the day each side had about 2-3 people (if you stood in the middle between two spots it granted you access to 6 spawn sites). I loved the people that fussed at others for being in “their” area, it truly made me want to gank ‘their’ eggs as much as possible 
It’s at least the easiest achievement to get done, so long as you don’t mind exceptionally mind numbing bullshit and the token trip around Azeroth. Still, you do get some fun items and some classy outfits.
I had so much fun torturing some guy that was yelling at me about “his” spot the other day. lol
Thanks for the shout out.
Much appreciated.
Yeah, it’s so easy. WHAT? YOU SUCK AT CLICKING? OKAY!
And no problem! Moar posts, imo.
The White Tuxedo Shirt and Black Tuxedo Pants can be traded between players, so you could just ask one of your friends who has it already to help you out. Finding them in Eggs is an achievement but not part of the Meta ^^.
Oh and also, once you get the initial quest to get your Easter Basket you can equip it, just don’t turn in/abandon the quest and you’ll save yourself having to find 10eggs.
True enough. You can essentially shave 60 or so eggs (including the quest) off that total if you’ve got a willing friend or you pick them up off the Auction House. Still, if you’re an achievement hound, you might just want to stick it out.
Thanks!
