'Eggs' mark the spot

Taking part in the Noblegarden events requires gathering Easter-like eggs. Maybe lots and lots of eggs if you want to do some of the quests and achievements, or buy the special rabbit pet! Chocolate is the holiday’s currency and each egg produces a chocolate or, on rare occasion, a seasonal item like a white dress or flower bouquet (also used in other achievements). Getting the number of eggs you want can be time consuming, but I found one very nice spot for gathering lots of eggs quickly.

The eggs have spawning points just like minerals and herbs, but they spawn more rapidly. Sitting in Azuremyst I watched lots of people running from point to point trying to get their eggs. On Strago’s suggestion I simply sat near a spawning point, but then accidentally discovered a gold mine of spa
wning points around me! Four to be exact. I didn’t even have to move, just ‘click and collect’…the four points were in reach of this one spot.

Here’s where it is: On the east side of Azure Watch is the road that leads in from the crash site (where all Draenei characters begin). On the north side of the road is the building where the Warrior trainer is. On the other side of this building is a tree. Park yourself between the building and the tree, snuggle up next to the tree, face west (toward the Exodar) and wait. The picture below shows the four spawn points that you’ll be able to access. Click on the photo to enlarge (yes, that purple bunny is me!). I was able to gather over 100 eggs in well under an hour.




If you find any other good spots, let me know; we’ll post them here. Hurry! This event ends Saturday!
