Host Your Own Egg Hunt or Transfer Gold
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 transfer gold between realms or factions (with a 10% loss).

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

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 give bunny ears to level 18 (or higher) female characters of each 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.

• The only achievement items you must buy from the vendor is the Noblegarden Egg.
• You can get a “free” Blossoming Branch for Hard Boiled from the daily quest, which you'll easily complete while farming eggs.

There are two 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.

Patch 7.2 Hotfixes - April 17

Broken Shore

• Rewards from the enemies summoned by Nether Portal Disruptors have been changed: These enemies should now drop significantly more Legionfall War Supplies and Dauntless tokens, but no longer drop Netherchunks or Tier 1 Sentinax beacons.
  
  • Developers’ notes: We want to make sure that Nether Portal Disruptors and the enemies they attract are lucrative and exciting without overshadowing other options so that players feel inclined to focus only on the Nether Disruptor for Broken Shore play. This should now be a solid extra to add to your activities when it’s available, rather than something to wait around for.
    
• Witchmatron Magora now respawns more frequently, uses more abilities, and is significantly sturdier.

The Mage Tower isn't up...

The Mage Tower isn't up...

Hmmm.... never would've guessed that was the case... Went full retard there.. : )

[Muapa]

finally the legion app will be correct! sucked sending champs out on short missions and the mission turn out to be 12+ hours instead

[lb]

Damn Blizzard would you stop buffing Outlaw - trying to bring it back? These buffs and the changes in 7.2.5 making the specs appealing again and bringing outlaw in some (maybe many sims will tell) fight ahead of the other two rogue specs. What's your plan - that your rogue player community should die on the AP grind? Because you think in the end third of the xpac it is fun to switch the tides between the spces - because you where incompetent to balance them at start? You and your trial-and-error game design starting to getting on my nerves ...

[Arvandor]

the day has arrived.. no mechanical changes in legion for mm hunters!

gratz for the current dev team. you destroyd two hunter specs in one xpac!

[Tupolew519]

new map from overwach coming to hots? cool.

[Deleted]

Finally, some love for MM! If only rotation wasn't as mind-numbing.

[Koci]

I enjoy playing mm more than anytime

[Zilveari]

No Sentinax tokens? Blizz is working REALLY hard to make sure that no one wants to do the Sentinax stuff. They hate Sentinax more than they hate Hunters I think.

[Symmone]

Let us transmog the elegant dress!! T.T

[Nuvuk]

It would be funny if I passed the flying progress check but I cant fly. I do however have flying so I know I would pass the progress check.

[Kalcheus]

Mechanical changes wouldn't happen until 7.2.5. A hotfix buff has nothing to do with whether or not there will be upcoming mechanical changes.

[Twistedelmo]

I'm glad i did the Meta back when there was nothing to do... barely have time now to do WQ's, Invasions, Raid, M+ while also having to work a 10 hour day.
(there is no gun to my back, just feel overwhelmed with shit to do.)

[Deleted]

very big nerf to affliction. Lets see how things will go

I basically got 2 shot by a rogue that was outlaw in the sewers. I had fade up and he would hit me for 1.3~ with between the eyes. I'm 882 and have versatility but wtf blizzard.
