Achievements

Noble Gardener
This achievement can be found in the main World Events achievement category and is awarded upon completion of every one of the Noblegarden achievements except Dressed For The Occasion and Sunday's Finest. This achievement awards the player title the Noble and is a requirement towards completion of What a Long, Strange Trip It's Been which rewards the beautiful Reins of the Violet Proto-Drake.

Blushing Bride
For this achievement, you must kiss another player of either gender who is wearing an Elegant Dress while you are wearing a White Tuxedo Shirt and Black Tuxedo Pants. These clothes can be found randomly in a Brightly Colored Egg or purchased from a vendor in exchange for Noblegarden Chocolate. Note that the achievement is only awarded to the player wearing the Tuxedo set (and that this Tuxedo set is different than the tailor-crafted set), so in order to complete the achievement you will have to purchase the White Tuxedo Shirt and Black Tuxedo Pants yourself while another player can have the Elegant Dress. Since these items are not bind on pickup, however, you can opt to simply trade clothes with a friend and take turns getting the achievement.

Chocolate Lover
For this achievement you must eat 25 Noblegarden Chocolate discovered inside Brightly Colored Eggs. Make sure you still save enough to buy goodies from the vendor!

Chocoholic
For this achievement you must eat 100 Noblegarden Chocolate discovered inside Brightly Colored Egg. Since this is a meta achievement, you only need an additional 75 Noblegarden Chocolate after the first 25 you consumed for Chocolate Lover. Once again, make sure you collect enough chocolates to nab this achievement and still be able to buy goodies from the vendor!

Desert Rose
For this achievement, you must first obtain the Spring Robes either from a Brightly Colored Egg or purchased from a vendor for 50 Noblegarden Chocolate. Simply equip the robes and you can activate it's 'Use' ability, which in this case plants a flower where you stand! Once you've got the robes on, simply travel to each of these five deserts - Badlands, Desolace, Silithus, Tanaris and Thousand Needles - and plant a flower.

Dressed for the Occasion
This luck-based achievement is awarded upon discovering an Elegant Dress inside a Brightly Colored Egg. This achievement is not a requirement for the meta-achievement Noble Gardener (Alliance version).

Hard Boiled
For this achievement you must lay an egg in the Golakka Hot Springs of Un'Goro Crater while polymorphed into a Noblegarden Bunny. There are two different ways to become a Noblegarden Bunny. The easy way is to have another player travel with you and use a Blossoming Branch to change you into a rabbit. Simply stand around long enough and eventually your rabbit will lay an egg--voila, achievement done. The more complicated way is to open Brightly Colored Eggs until you are randomly transformed into a Noblegarden Bunny. Then, good luck getting to Un'goro. The most logical way to get there (assuming a level 80 character who isn't an engineer):
1. Get transformed into a rabbit.

2. Hearth to Dalaran or Gadgetzan.

3. If you hearthed to Dalaran, take the portal to Caverns of Time located inside the Violet Citadel.

4. Run across Tanaris to Un'Goro Crater, praying not to get in combat because damage will break the disguise. Oh, and you can't mount or taxi, either, so the run will take you close to 15 minutes. Swimming won't remove your rabbit costume.

5. Sit anywhere at the Golakka Hot Springs for a few seconds, until you lay an egg.

At least disable CRZ in the starting zones during Noblegarden.Comment by DKong27I started playing January last year and this was the first holiday I managed to complete. I guess I can get my low level Mage the polymorph book...

Last year I thought saving a Spring Rabbit would be profitable...lol not even close, even before account level pets.Comment by AdamsmGreat drawing again Noxy.Comment by rodalphoNow almost impossible to get eggs.

People don't like having to go out there and farm up rare stones on their own.Comment by AdamsmNow almost impossible to get eggs. Why? Cross realm. But really. There will be +50 guys running around gs inn. This is not only with gs...Comment by rodalphoAt least one of the locations will probably not be filled with people, even with CRZ; but then again, Goldshire has always been full to the brim of people at times like this. I've honestly never gone there Egg Hunting since there was always hundreds of people there; usually Dolanaar was the least populated with Azuremyst being the second best location. However, since these are account wide now, can always just go Horde, go to Eversong or Brill and just grind away.stillComment by VaekuOther than going to one of the less-crowded starting areas, easiest thing to do is wait until the end of the holiday, that way there won't be as many people.Comment by longslowgoodbyeDoing these season events was pretty & awsome, the first time...
With almost nothing added over them years.., I completely ignore them and its sad.

A rideable bunny please.Comment by MABGamer6407Well aren't I happy I did all of this last year. Mount Is also lootable from egg for any one wanting to know as I have I one (actually my cousin on a Alt looted it while egg looking. Luckily mounts are shared across realms now.) Unfortunately I realy wanted the Vermin to be involved with this Holiday. Like a Giant evil White vermin with easter like fetres to represent The Easter bunny. :( It make perfect sense to do something like that...Comment by 962720Rideable bunny? Yes, please.Comment by 755601Yay, now my mage can get that spell. He was too low last year. Wonder if my farming loop will still work, last year it was great :)
