Comment by Mike

These are possibly found around main areas, such as Elwynn forest, Dun Morogh, Barrens(durotar maybe?) etc.

but my mind doesnt work well after these years and cant remember fully.

Comment by Malvenue

It's still active on the PTR's as of 4/2/09.

Also please note that while you can purchase all the items needed for some of the achievements (with chocolates from the eggs), several of the achievements require you to discover the items by looting eggs.

Comment by SeraphX

That maybe true, but all Achievements from Noblegarden's Meta are more or less un-random. If you checked them, you'd see that the "looting" ones are not part of the Meta :) Which is good - imho.

Anyone know how the droprate of the choclate is out of the eggs?

Comment by Baldulf

I've seen the comment a few places that "there will always be an egg up" and "you don't have to wait for an egg to spawn." Can you explain this a bit more, please?

Do you mean that the eggs don't despawn once looted, essentially allowing you to stand over one egg and click it 400 times for all the chocolates you need?

Alternately, do you mean that when one egg is looted and despawns, a new egg spawns immediately at one of the other spawn points?

If the latter, it's going to be just as difficult to be the fastest clicker on an egg when it spawns, given all the people who are going to want to loot eggs for the mega.

Thanks in advance!

For Alliance, I expect them to be found in Kharanos, Goldshire, Dolanaar, and maybe Azure Watch.

I'd say you're correct on that, considering that the achievement Spring Fling mentions the exact same cities. The same is true for the Horde part, but you already confirmed that yourself so Iinking that too would be redundant. :)

Comment by Dom410

Eggs do not stack.
Chocolate stacks in 20's.

Comment by Xe4ro

It seems that there is One Chocolate per Egg.

Comment by 10128

In response to Baldulf, imagine that in one given area, say Razorhill, there are 30 possible spawn points for chocolate eggs. Well, for example, there will be a constant 5 eggs up at any given time. If you loot an egg, another egg will spawn elsewhere instantly. Finding eggs is really not difficult, but getting enough for the achievements can be quite a pain if you're not very lucky at dropping the right items.

Comment by Dom410

I just finished all the achievements. I opened 360 eggs and got:

340x Noblegarden Chocolate (94,4%)
5x White Tuxedo Shirt (1,4%)
4x Black Tuxedo Pants (1,1%)
3x Spring Rabbit (0,8%)
3x Spring Circlet (0,8%)
2x Blossoming Branch (0,6%)
1x Spring Robes (0,3%)
1x Spring Flowers (0,3%)
1x Elegant Dress (0,3%)
0x Noblegarden Egg (0%)

#showtooltip Noblegarden Chocolate
/use Egg Basket
/use Brightly Colored Egg

You can add /cancelaura Noblegarden Bunny but I find it easier to be a rabbit as you're smaller.

Macro for when you're collecting eggs, keeps track of chocolates too.

I find it fastest to do circles around the Goldshire inn I did that for around 2-3 hours and got everything I needed to do the achievements.

Just farmed 500 chocolates in around 3 hours at Mulgore, just by doing circles around the inn, two eggs spawn at the front, 3-4 each side, 4 at the back, two under the boat which most people miss and one under the water trough on the south side which most miss.

Comment by Octopus

The best way to farm these eggs is to find a camping spot and sit there and wait for them to respawn lol. worked for me :)

Comment by 144092

Farming the locations, while effective, is so wrong for this event. This is an egg hunt. There's no hunt if you just stand still and wait for eggs to appear. Get out there and run around! Use your egg basket! Have fun!

Comment by bobo54

Sadly enough, this is true. I can't shake the feeling that this isn't what Blizzard had in mind with the Noblegarden event. 100's of people, camping the same spawn points. Pathetic to be honest.

edit: typo

Comment by 338731

The eggs are all in the starting regions (including expansion), and they do have a quick respawning rate. Contrary to the description given the eggs aren't bright... They are actually blend in really well with their surroundings. If you have trouble you can always use your mouse and find them when the gear appears on the mouse. Click-to-move can be very useful. The eggs are only in the towns where the quests start, not in the surrounding area. Though many do appear along the buldings on the towns edges.

You can find them:
Underneath torches
In the notches along buildings
Underneath or behind benches
In shrubs
By trees
Occasionally on a reachable ledge on a building

To make the best use of your chocolate don't buy any of the items that expire after a few days.

If your location is crowded try another region. The main capitals of the Horde and Alliance do get a little crowded.

Comment by 86627

If there are a lot of people gathering these, and there most likely is, I found a good place to be was at the Razor Hill warlock trainer (Dhugru Gorelust). There's two empty cauldrons next to him, I was standing between them and looting the eggs whenever they appeared in the cauldrons. The spawn rate seems to vary a bit, but I found it better than aimlesly running around. There's also a wooden box on the other side of the trainer where an egg spawns.

Comment by Scarrio

Yeah, I tried camping a spot and not only did I get less eggs than if I ran around, it was kind of boring. I was getting lots as long as I kept moving. Come up with a trail that works well for you and just go at it!

Comment by Pinochet

Similarly, don't even bother with this event when you're lagging. You're just going to get massively outcompeted by egg campers.

Comment by Bland

Spring Rabbit, yes. Snowshoe Rabbit, unlikely.

Comment by 173605

I was able to get A LOT of eggs from this spot (on a high pop server), figured I'd post a screenshot to help people out there that's having a lot of trouble getting eggs.

http://i42.tinypic.com/2qcp3qs.jpg

This is directly to the right of the Golshire Inn entrance/exit. Standing from the green circle, you'll be able to loot 5 egg spawns. The blue circle on the right is another close spawn, but you'll need to move just a little bit in order to reach it, so keep an eye on that spot.

Hope this helps.

Comment by Bland

When counting chocolates required, make sure to include another 50 chocolates for the Spring Circlet, if you're into getting holiday items.

Also, mages will see a Tome of Polymorph: Rabbit on the vendor for 100 chocolates.

I've seen plenty of Spring Circlets drop from eggs. My mage accrued enough chocolates to buy the tome -- can't tell if the tome can drop from eggs for mages (it's BoP)

Comment by Starfury

I had quite a good bit of success with the fountain at Falconwing Square. There's quite a few spawns in it and 4 underneath the benches surrounding it.

Comment by Smadronia

For the Horde: Bloodhoof village is a great place to find the eggs. The trick is to not sit and wait on one egg, but to run around. By running around you have a better chance of picking up the eggs that the spawn campers are missing. Equip your basket and use it when it's cooled down for maximum egg hunting.

Start behind the Vloodhoof inn, in the boats. Check in th crates and prow of both boats, then run to the back of the inn and look under the large boat looking item. Then, as you face the inn, run up the right side, checking on either side of the wooden beams, and in the spots where they meet up. Also check under the watering trough, as one sometimes spawns there.

Run past the front of the inn towards the large tent with the druid trainers. There's going to be 2 NPC's standing around a pole, and 3 eggs can spawn there. one behind a woven rack, one directly opposite the pole, and one in a clay pot.

Run up the steps of the druid training tend, checking to the right behind the totem pole for an egg, and to the left for one under a support beam. also look straight down and check for eggs hidden between the large wooden steps. Run around the edge of the tent, and check each of the three sets of steps. In some cases you can find 4 eggs hidden. Then, come down the first set of steps, checking the the totem pole and support, the other pole, and back down the inn, back to the boats. Repeat as necessary.

If you get tired of running this loop, start at the back of the inn, check the left side, check the small outbuilding, next to the inn (including the baskets in the front) and then go around the large hide tent that has the profession trainers. Check both the tent pegs and the support beam anchors for eggs, they can be hidden in both.

Comment by blanche

shamans if your using a camping strategy, remember to use sentry totem! i camped one spot and put my totem down at another good spot nearby (that i could not see of course), it helped a lot. as long as your second spot is only an egg basket sprint away you can effectively have 6+ eggs camped. occasionally a person running around will take one of your eggs but that comes with 2 spots. i found it a much better accumulation strat then running myself anyways

Comment by Octopus

You have to find a camping spot where there is about 2-4 egg spawn points around you its so much easier than running around

Comment by Octopus

although blanche i like your thinking ;)

Comment by Kiliana

May the RNG be with you!

Comment by 232769

Kharanos was by FAR the best place on my server. I can't say the same for other servers, but I can say the spawn areas were A LOT better.

Last night I was in Goldshire hugging the back wall of the Inn, took me over an hour and a half to get 100 eggs. Even at 2:30 in the morning there were 22 players to compete against. I got one rabbit around 60 eggs, 1 dress, and 1 tux.

I started in Kharanos today at 9:37pm server time. 7 level 80s in Dun Morgh. As I am typing this there is one other person here with me, a level 39.

The eggs spawn on the sides of the Inn, on the Inn balcony, inside a cauldron west of the Inn, behind some gun rackets, between trees, under the Inn balcony, behind the tents, etc. This was MUCH better than the areas around the Goldshire inn.

I have already farmed well over 100 eggs and will probably be here another hour or two with alts. I just got my Spring Robes and I bought the flowers because I never got them.

I think Blizzard did a good job with this event. Although there is still RNG, you do have the ability to buy items with the eggs if you can't get something to drop. I think Blizzard did this so they wouldn't have to deal with all the crying that happened during "Love is in the Air" because of the candy bags.

Comment by 126377

I personally did not loot a single egg that did not contain Noblegarden Chocolate, out of about 300 eggs. I think it's safe to say that they have a 100% drop rate on the live servers.

Comment by 100422

That's what I have been telling everyone on my server(ally side) but apparently they never hunted eggs before because they are all like 13 and their parents never could get off their asses to DO anything for them, probably why half of them are so disagreeable and unlikable.

But enough for that, something constructive.

The best place in my opinion aesthetically to do these is dolanaar in Teldrassil, gold shire isn't too bad either, for horde silverymoon is probably the only one that doesn't look lame but I don't play a horde so I'm not sure on that.

Comment by aquasword

this has to be the most thoughtless boring achievement./ farm up 400 eggs go. its not fun its frustrating

Comment by manko

Nobody complains when a hunter camps a Spirit Beast spawn point. As much as hunting might be the spirit of finding rare things, the mechanics of the game are known and unless you want to role-play a character who doesn't know what a spawn point is, you should do what you prefer. I found camping to be a lot more effective and significantly less stressful.

Mathematically, the highest rate of egg distribution is had when every spawn point is camped. That would also result in the most even distribution to each player (assuming one person to a spawn and no spawn is favored). Because picking alwaysforces some other egg to spawn, and camped spawns will be picked nearly instantly, campering will lead to an accumulation of eggs in the uncamped areas. So searchers will benefit from an increased density as long as they don't bother wasting time looking at camped areas. So I do not think that camping this event damages it for others.

Comment by 284754

Trying to finish the last achievment, but I think I'll just give up..
I've opened 275~ eggs, I got :
268x Noblegarden chocolate
7x Spring Rabbit's Foot
5x White Tuxedo Shirt
3x Black Tuxedo Pants
1x Spring Robes
1x Spring Circlet
0x Elegant Dress

Just a question, does anyone know how rare the Elegant Dress is?

Comment by peeka

Blizzard decreased the spawn area of eggs from last year. Why? Previous easter events had the eggs scattered around the entire zone and in the level 1 starting areas. Now eggs only spawn in the starting towns. Five locations, fifty thousand players. Something seems wrong here.

Comment by Elmaldito

If you play in a crowded server i would personally recommend to camp eggs instead of running around. In mi opinion the best place to do that is in Razorhill, there's a tent (the one who has the warlock's instructor) which has 3 spawn points. 1 inside one pot, another inside the other pot, and the third it's inside de small opened box. I've submitted 4 screenshots to show the place and the eggs properly (pending to upload).
This place works better when a lot of people it's farming eggs around, because the eggs spawn faster (i think, not proved). If you climb to the tent and stay in the center of it, you can loot the three eggs without moving.
Hope it helps :)

Sorry about my english :$

Comment by depevlad

LoL can some1 tell me where what is the drop rate of '' Spring Rabbit '' from 100 eggs?

Comment by 257537

I've done this in the order they were opened, with totals at the end.

- Chocolates x 25
- Black Tuxedo Pants
- Chocolates x 10
- Blossoming Branch
- Chocolates x 13
- Blossoming Branch
- Chocolate x 24
- Elegant Dress

Since the ress was what I was farming for, this is where I stopped.

Totals:
72 Chocolates (94.8%)
2 Blossoming Branches (2.6%)
1 Black Tuxedo Pants (1.3%)
1 Elegant Dress (1.3%)

Comment by chrisb2k

Macro to cut down on egg opening, usable with ACE2 libraries:

#show Brightly Colored Egg
/script SetCVar("AutoLootDefault", 1)
/use Brightly Colored Egg
/in 1 /script SetCVar("AutoLootDefault", 0)

Shamelessly ripped off of rogue autoloot macro. Just click this and get your chocolates out automatically as you go :)

Comment by 212003

>>NOTE<< Everything you can buy from the vendor can be found in Brightly Colored Eggs!

wrong... the polymorph rabbit tome cannot

just pointing it out

Comment by 19224

A bit of my own looting provides the following data:
140 eggs turns into:
131 chokolate pieces.
4 pets
2 tuxedo pants
1 tuxedo shirt
1 flower
1 pair bunny ear

Comment by dopfeldecker

Pro tip:

Stand on top of the wagon at 48/45 in Falconwing Square (Eversong Woods), on this exact spot. There's atleast 6 different egg spawn points here, all reachable from this spot.

Comment by dlbert2000

225 Eggs
213 chocolates
5x White Tuxedo Shirts

Comment by darkslash

I HATE the drop % on the dress. 400+ eggs later and nothing.

Comment by 185899

I found Azure Watch to be the best place for allies. Generally there aren't many people, and theres a really good route to run to get plenty of eggs. Basically, you want to run around the shack with the warrior trainer, going behind the tree. There are roughly eight spawns (2 in the bushes between the two shacks, one behind a tree, two behind either shack, two in the bushes next to the road and one under the little torch next to the warrior trainer). Most of the time these spots aren't camped, and lots of the time there are eggs.

Comment by Isolte

Here's a handy macro I made for all you Noblegardeners who want a One-button, Open-and-LOOT-everything-possible-from-your-egg macro! (235/255 characters. It fits! /cheer!)

/use Brightly Colored Egg
/loot Noblegarden Chocolate
/loot Spring Rabbit's Foot
/loot Blossoming Branch
/loot Elegant Dress
/loot White Tuxedo Shirt
/loot Black Tuxedo Pants
/loot Spring Flowers
/loot Spring Robes
/loot Spring Circlet

Just put this newly made button on your action bar and click away to loot all the Brightly Colored Eggs in your inventory without even having to open your bags! Cheers!

Comment by 195691

There is a very good way you can easily find the eggs when running around.
1. Press "Esc".
2. Click "Video".
3. Click on the "Effects" tab.
4. Decrease "Environment Detail" to lowest.

This will make all unclickable small objects invisible, but the clickable objects will still be shown. For instance, a lot of eggs are hidden under a cart. If you are +10 yards away from that place, you will NOT see the cart but you will see the egg under it. Same goes with eggs that spawn between 3 - 4 crates. You won't see the crates, but will be able to see the egg. When you walk to a ~5 yard distance of the egg, you will see the "invisible" objects. This is much better then going to every spawn point to see if the egg is there.

Comment by Flamewolf

i have been running around dolannar for 15 mins and there was not a single and there was no one else looking, and i have looked in every nook and cranny so there is indeed a reason not to find eggs!

Comment by Isurus

I can myself confirm that if noone loots these (I presume this) after the event ends, atleast one won't despawn, the one behind the "chair" at the entrance to the inn in Karanos, I found the egg there, got to be a rabbit, got the achievement(I Found one!), 13/4/2010 - 3 days after Noblegarden ends.

Even though this is a bit late, just run around the outer ring of Azure watch and you are sure to get 10 eggs a min.
