Noblegarden vendors also sell Poorly Painted Egg, Intricately-Painted Egg, and Magnificently-Painted Egg for gold.

• Place these eggs on the ground and they will all look exactly the same.
• Each egg type is unique, so you can only have one in your inventory at a time.
• Each egg can be looted by only one player and will contain a gray-quality item that can be sold to a vendor for 90% of the original egg purchase price.
• The eggs can be seen by anyone around you, so they are a useful way to share gold to other characters (with a 10% loss).

Level	Type	Name	Cost
1	Other	Intricately-Painted Egg	10
1	Other	Magnificently-Painted Egg	1,000
1	Other	Poorly-Painted Egg	10

Complete Quests
There is a one time quest and daily quest that you can complete:

• One-time Quest: A Tisket, a Tasket, a Noblegarden Basket (H) or A Tisket, a Tasket, a Noblegarden Basket (A).
  
  • Awards an Egg Basket. You are given an identical basket with which to actually do the quest, so you don't have to spend the Chocolate and actually turn the quest in unless you want the permanent basket.
  • Just use the basket you were given for the quest to gain a speed buff while farming Brightly Colored Eggs.
• Daily Quest: The Great Egg Hunt (H) or The Great Egg Hunt (A).
• Collect 10 Brightly Colored Shell Fragments to receive a Blossoming Branch.
• You'll be able to complete this quest while farming eggs, so you can do this quest to get a Blossoming Branch for the achievement Hard Boiled.
• You can also find Blossoming Branch in a Brightly Colored Egg.

Unlock Achievements
In order to earn the achievement Noble Gardener (part of What a Long, Strange Trip It's Been) and unlock the Noble title, you must complete these nine achievements:

• Shake Your Bunny-Maker - Use Spring Flowers to place rabbit ears on characters of different race.
• Blushing Bride - Kiss someone wearing an Elegant Dress while wearing a White Tuxedo Shirt and Black Tuxedo Pants.
• Chocoholic - Eat 100 Noblegarden Chocolate.
• Spring Fling or Spring Fling - Visit each of the four cities listed for your respective faction with your Spring Rabbit out and find someone else with a Spring Rabbit out for yours to love.
• Desert Rose - Use Spring Robes to plant a flower in the Badlands, Silithus, Thousand Needles, Desolace, and Tanaris.
• I Found One! - Loot a Brightly Colored Egg.
• Hard Boiled - Visit Un'Goro Crater's Golakka Hot Springs as a rabbit during Noblegarden. You can't use Blossoming Branch on yourself, so team up with someone else (with their own Branch) and head out there to change each other into rabbits.
• Noble Garden or Noble Garden - Hide a Brightly Colored Egg in Silvermoon City (Horde) or Stormwind City (Alliance). To “hide” the egg, place one using Noblegarden Egg.

Most of the items required to earn Achievements can be found in Brightly Colored Eggs, so your luck may significantly lower the amount of Noblegarden Chocolate required.

You can get a “free” Blossoming Branch for Hard Boiled from the daily quest, which you'll easily complete while farming eggs.

There are three additional achievements which are not required for Noble Gardener:

• Sunday's Finest - Loot a White Tuxedo Shirt and Black Tuxedo Pants from Brightly Colored Eggs.
• Dressed for the Occasion - Loot an Elegant Dress from a Brightly Colored Egg.
• Quacked Killer - Defeat Daetan Swiftplume.

• Devouring Host: Nothing to See Here - This can be completed quickly on any difficulty. Simply walk Out-of-Bounds and get consumed by the Devouring Host.
• Imperator Averzian: The Only Winning Move Is Not To Play - Have 3 different players pick up the banners and place them in a straight line (like winning a tic-tac-toe game). Make sure to kill any adds that spawn on top of the banners or the achievement criteria will be failed.
• Vorasius: Hungry Hungry Hatchlings - At the start of the fight, everyone must pick up a hatchling from the Large Egg on the right side of the room. Tanks will need to coordinate a quick swap so both can grab one without leaving the boss alone. During the fight, stand near the meat dropped by Blistercreeps so your hatchling can feed on them. After every player's hatchling eats 8 times, they will fall asleep, completing the requirement.

• Fallen-King Salhadaar: It's Treason Then - Have the entire raid /kneel before the fight to gain the Broken Oath debuff. During the fight, images will spawn near players; make sure to face your character toward them immediately or you'll be instantly killed.
• Vaelgor & Ezzorak: Ready, Set, Snap! - Every player must break the Nullzone tether within 3 seconds of each cast. This needs to be done consistently throughout the fight, so be ready with mobility spells each time.
• Lightblinded Vanguard: Aura Farming - Interact with the Tome of Divinity located before the platform to get the Aura Farming debuff. All players must stay for a few seconds in the three Paladin auras to upgrade their debuff in order: +1000 Aura, +10000 Aura and finally Maximum Aura. Avoid using immunities such as Divine Shield and Ice Block, as they will remove the debuff and fail the achievement.
• Crown of the Cosmos: We Will, In Fact, See It Again - Soak the void puddle to gain 10 stacks of Clinging Void, granting the Lump of Flesh debuff.
  
  • During the first intermission, stay near the center of the room and use the extra action button to Tear Off the Lump of Flesh.
  • In Phase 2, a Fleshy Monstrosity will spawn and cast Maddening Hysteria, turning everyone hostile for 8 seconds. Make sure to kill the add as soon as possible.
  • During the second intermission, throw the flesh one final time to complete the achievement criteria.

• Chimaerus: Falling Between The Quacks - Interact with Sergeant Quackers on the initial platform to bring him into the fight. He gains a number of Corrupted Feathers equal to the raid size. To complete the achievement criteria, each player must interact with him in the Rift phase to pluck a feather. Players who succeed will have a feather floating around their character.

• Belo'ren, Child of Al'ar: Eggsistential Crisis - For this achievement you have to pick up the Sunwell Egg and infuse it with both Light and Void magic by soaking abilities throughout the fight. This must be done sequentially, as getting hit by a different colored ability will reset the progress. The egg deals increasing damage to its holder, so pass it between players using the extra action button as needed.
• Midnight Falls: All the Things She Said - Interact with the Void Torch on the right side of the room before the pull to light it up. In the final phase, each cast of The Dark Archangel spawns three Memories of Alleria that must be interrupted. Once your raid group has interrupted a total of twelve memories, you can defeat the boss to get the final achievement.
