Children's Week (April 29th - May 5th) Guide

Posted 2012/04/28 at 6:15 PM by Ashelia

Children's Week is a week in which we brave a challenge greater than any undead monstrosity and a task more daunting than saving the world. We must become parents for all those orphans throughout Azeroth and make sure they are happy. We can't tank a child's fears, we can't heal its memories of pain, nor can we DPS the sorrow out of them. So equip your toys, make a mage conjure a candy table, fill your quiver with joy, load your gun with something colorful, and venture into the World of Parenting!Children's WeekApril 29th12:01 AMMay 5th12:00 AMChildren's WeekIt's also worth noting that in Mists of Pandaria, pets will be accountwide! This means you should get extra pets on your alts that you do not have so you can trade them to your main when the expansion hits.Magical Pet BiscuitCompanion PetsMagical Pet BiscuitOrgrimmar/Stormwind

ps : biscuits are BoPComment by KatlamosFirst year I've actually had my account active for this event (only took me two years of playing). Really not looking forward to those PvP achievements. At all @_@Comment by 239153This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Comment by Calos775 here! Too bad had to transfer regions when I moved. That means I'll have to keep playing for another 5! Yippeeeeeeeee :)Comment by HerumoriOk, question, because I've never bothered to do the School of Hard Knocks bit of this before: Does anyone know if wargames will count in completing that achievement?Comment by 541779Just got the last of the Shattrath pets and the second Dalaran pet, but apparently I've forgotten all about the Stormwind pets, so I guess I still have some years to go.. >_<Comment by 932509This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Comment by InterestTime to care for more kids...o.0Comment by 818984Back to the Orphanage

One more pet to go and then I'm finished! :DComment by AsheliaSo I must have missed the blue text announcing account-wide pets, so i assume the above gold text statement means pets will be account bound and not shared between alts? Makes a difference if we need to get pets on our alts but not actually use/'learn' them until MoP when we can trans to our alt/main. Also hoping this is legit and not speculation like account-wide titles seems to have been so far..Comment by NimrodI just checked in Dalaran, and I am happy to report that they have reset the Dalaran children's week quests this year, so you can now get the other pet if you only have one!

(It was last year it was bugged, wasnt it? Where you couldnt do it for the second pet if you had done it the previous year? Anyway, it's available again now)Comment by AdamsmOnly plan on doing the pet quests, and not going to do the pain in the butt achievements this time around.Comment by 696346This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Comment by InterestThe holiday pets aren't BoE like the other ones? I was planning on getting them all on alts then trading them to my main.
