Noblegarden

Noblegarden is an Easter event, taking place around the real-life holiday, based on the Western interpretation. Thus the event can occur anytime from the end of March to the end of April. Players can search for colored eggs hidden around 4 towns close to each race's starting area. Noblegarden starts on Easter Sunday, and lasts for one week.
:The great feast of Noblegarden has long been celebrated by the races of the Alliance and recently adopted by those of the Horde. On this joyous day, it is customary for the nobles and lords from each race to hide coins, candy, and the occasional treasures within special eggs painted to look like wildflowers. These eggs are then scattered around the major cities for the citizenry to find. From heroes to commoners, and everyone in between - the feast of Noblegarden is meant to bring communities together to share the joy of life and friendship.
Noblegarden is a seasonal event, whose achievements contribute to its meta-achievement, Noble Gardener, which is a part of What a Long, Strange Trip It's Been. Noblegarden is unusual for a seasonal event in that its meta-achievement can be accomplished by low-level characters. It's conceivable that a level 1 character could complete all of the achievements, though some of them will be challenging for characters under level 40.

==Egg Hunting==
Gathering Brightly Colored Eggs is the central activity of Noblegarden. These eggs are hidden in and around the starting area towns, and contain Noblegarden Chocolate, with a chance of containing one of the items that the Noblegarden vendors sell. There's also a chance when collecting the egg that will give the player a buff that transforms them into a rabbit for 1 hour. Said buff silences casting, so it can be clicked off if it proves annoying.
To speed the process, turn on autoloot and the interact key (default keybind ). A useful macro to quickly gather eggs and open them on the move is:
 #showtooltip Noblegarden Chocolate
 /cancelaura Noblegarden Bunny
 /use Eagger Basket
 /use Brightly Colored Egg
Eggs are found in the following locations:
 Alliance
* Goldshire, Elwynn Forest
* Kharanos, Dun Morogh
* Dolanaar, Teldrassil
* Azure Watch, Azuremyst Isle
 Horde
* Razor Hill, Durotar
* Bloodhoof Village, Mulgore
* Brill, Tirisfal Glades
* Falconwing Square, Eversong Woods
Egg-gathering is made easier with the help of the Borrowed Egg Basket, which provides a speed buff wherever eggs can be found. It levels the playing field against classes with inherent unmounted speed buffs, such as druids. The basket can be acquired with the quest A Tisket, a Tasket, a Noblegarden Basket. The quest rewards a cosmetic Egg Basket and a toy Eagger Basket that functions the same as the quest item.
Cursed Rabbit's Foot can be acquired from the Brightly Colored Eggs, which will have the player lay a slightly larger egg but doesn't sparkle unlike the eggs that spawn with the Noblegarden Bunny (buff).
==Quests==
The following quests are available for Noblegarden:
* A Tisket, a Tasket, a Noblegarden Basket
# Spring Collectors or Spring Gatherers
# The Great Egg Hunt
==Vendors==
Noblegarden Merchants and Noblegarden Vendors sell the following items in exchange for Noblegarden Chocolate. Vendors can be found at each of the eight event sites.
==Achievements==
Noblegarden has a host of achievements required to complete its meta-achievement Noble Gardener, itself a part of What a Long, Strange Trip It's Been.
===Achievement strategy===
This is a strategy specifically for the achievements listed above.
Head to your favorite city of choice. Your mission now is to collect 355 eggs. If you collect any of the following (from finding inside eggs, or borrowing a tuxedo from a friend) you can subtract the amount listed from 355. Do not purchase anything until the end, to minimize the number of eggs you gather. If you are a mage, be sure to add an additional 100 if you are interested in the Tome of Polymorph: Rabbit. If you are also going for the Swift Springstrider and the Mystical Spring Bouquet, add another 600 but again if you're lucky, you could have one drop instead while gathering for your achievements. Playing with others will allow you to share Black Tuxedo Pants and White Tuxedo Shirt, saving a few eggs.

There are generally two strategies for collecting eggs as fast as possible: One option is to use the macro in the Egg Hunting section, and keep its buff up as much as possible, running around picking up eggs. Some people prefer camping instead - finding a spot with a lot of spawn points to minimize movement. Since they do not stack, eggs need to be opened as they are gathered in order to avoid running out of bag space; the chocolates yielded do stack to 250. It's also easy to work on the Chocoholic achievement by eating the first 100 chocolates. Once enough chocolate has been acquired, purchase or borrow from friends any remaining items. 
Here are some tips for the remaining achievements:
; Blushing Bride
: Equip a White Tuxedo Shirt and Black Tuxedo Pants and kiss someone wearing a Elegant Dress (baby pink colored dress). People are commonly wearing these dresses in the event area, and in Dalaran. Both males and females can wear the clothing for it to count for the achievement (so you don't specifically need to find a female character wearing the dress, for example).
;Chocoholic 
: Eat 100 Noblegarden Chocolates. Do this while gathering eggs.
; Desert Rose 
: Visit Badlands, Desolace, Tanaris, Thousand Needles, and Silithus. Once you land, use the Spring Robes to plant a rose and take off again. This can be achieved using flight masters, but flying manually allows players to complete steps of Spring Fling and Hard Boiled on the way, saving time.
; Dressed for the Occasion 
: (This is not required for the meta achievement.) This is an RNG based achievement.
; Hard Boiled 
: Group with a friend who has a Blossoming Branch with charges remaining and use a charge in the Un'goro Golakka Hot Springs subzone. Sit still to should lay an egg after a few minutes. Alternatively, have the hearth set to Dalaran, Gadgetzan or Silithus, hearthstone when you collect a rabbit buff, then run (or should I say hop) to Un'goro. You will not be able to use a taxi, but you can use the Portal from Dalaran to Caverns of Time. 
; Noble Garden (achievement) 
: Using a purchased Noblegarden Egg, place it on the ground in either Silvermoon City or Stormwind City. Then immediately loot this egg for extra chocolate and the chance of a drop.
; Shake Your Bunny-Maker 
:Every 5 minutes, use your Spring Flowers on a female of either faction. 
:* Be sure the person is not using some kind of buff that changes appearance
:* Be sure the character is actually female (check for beards under those helmets)
:* Be sure the female does not already have the buff. Watch for a carrot icon, or the bunny ears on her head
:* Be sure she is '18 or over'!
:* See the macro below
:Stormwind and Orgrimmar are generally the most populous areas to find members of your own and the opposing faction. Spring Flowers can be used while mounted, so eagle-eyed players can target hostile females from above the range of the flying patrols before swooping down to plant some ears. The 5 minute cooldown on Spring Flowers should be used to find the next female on your list, taking care to keep track of her until the cooldown expires. If you're having trouble finding a race, remember to check all areas of the city, or try other faction cities, Dalaran, or battlegrounds such as Alterac Valley. The event sites are also worth trying for less popular races. For friendly females, you can always ask in your guild or in trade chat.
; Spring Fling
: Travel to the four event sites for your faction, and walk up to someone else's pet rabbit. After a few seconds the "magical cycle of life" should take place.
;Sunday's Finest 
: (This is not required for the meta achievement.) This is an RNG based achievement.
===Shake Your Bunny-Maker macro===
To be able to identify race and gender for shapeshifted druids, gender-ambiguous blood elves, or if you simply have poor vision, here's a macro:
/run DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage((UnitSex("target")==2 and "Male " or "Female ")..UnitLevel("target").." "..UnitRace("target").." "..(UnitBuff("target","Sprung!")=="Sprung!" and "Sprung!" or "clear"));
Target a character, and when activated the macro will print in the chat window whether it is male or female, the level, the race and if it has the Sprung buff already or is clear. From the information given you must decide yourself if you want to shake your bunny maker at it. When copy/pasting the macro text, be sure to remove a possible space before the "/run".
* There is now an addon that makes finding the target you are looking for much easier, and it will show you the Sprung cooldown remaining if it has already been applied to the character. The addon is called "IsItFemale", and is available on curse.com.
Since patch 8.1.0, the players can be male or female to obtain the achievement but still requires them to be at least level 18 or higher.
==Being helpful to others==
To help other players get their achievements, you can do the following things:
*If you have the Elegant Dress wear it as much as possible during the event. This allows other players to /kiss you for Blushing Bride.
*If you have the Spring Rabbit pet, have it summoned while you are egg hunting. This helps you and others to get Spring Fling.
*If you are a female of any race (but especially of the rare combinations, such as female tauren, troll, orc, dwarf or worgen) spend some time hanging around crowded places. For example while waiting for that random dungeon to start. This gives players a chance to use their Spring Flowers on you for Shake Your Bunny-Maker. If you do get the rabbit ears put on you, remove them again by right-clicking the buff icon. Otherwise people have to wait for the two-minute cooldown.
==Notes==
In 2009, the schedule for Noblegarden was changed since it was delayed.
==Warcraft III==
In the official Blizzard scenario map for Warcraft III called "Funny Bunny's Easter Egg Hunt", Easter Bunnies and Evil Bunnies come out around the time of Noblegarden to find eggs. They compete with each other to find as many eggs as possible, valuing rare golden Easter eggs. They live in Easter egg houses.
