Children’s Week Has Arrived! May 3-May 10

It’s time to give back to the children of Azeroth during Children’s Week! Take an orphan under your wing and show them the wonders of the world.

Throughout the year, the orphans of Azeroth spend much of their time wandering their home cities, dreaming of the day they’ll be old enough (and big enough) to go out into the world to experience the adventures and marvels they’ve missed as children. During Children’s Week, the giving souls of the Horde and the Alliance can help make those dreams come true.

Traveling with orphans is now easier than ever! All orphans (except Wolvar and Oracle) now have their own mounts, making it all that much easier to show them the wonders of Azeroth.

Overview

When: May 3–May 10
Levels: Available to characters level 10 or above
Where:

• Kul Tiran and Zandalari: Orphan Matron Westerson in Boralus to start the new Kul Tiran orphan quest line; Padae in Zuldazar to start the new Zandalari orphan quest line
  
• Human and Orc: Orphan Matron Nightingale in Stormwind; Orphan Matron Battlewail in Orgrimmar
  
• Draenei and Blood Elf: Orphan Matron Mercy in Shattrath
  
• Wolvar and Oracle: Orphan Matron Aria in Dalaran.

Pets

Showing your orphaned child around can be beneficial to you and the child. Once you’ve completed the various quests associated with this event, you’ll have a choice of several pets to add to your Battle Pet collection:

Boralus and Zuldazar: Mr. Crabs, Beakbert, Froglet, and Scaley
Orgrimmar and Stormwind: Whiskers the Rat, Speedy, Scooter the Snail, Mr. Wiggles
Shattrath: Egbert, Peanut, Willy, Legs
Dalaran (Northrend): Curious Oracle Hatchling, Curious Wolvar Pup

If you’ve collected all these pets through the years—including the four new ones from this year—you’ll be rewarded with the Pet Care Package which provides a variety of items, including pug costumes, Magical Pet Biscuit, and a Flawless Battle-Stone.

Activities
Many orphans wish they had someone special to show them the wonders of the world. Throughout the year, they often spend their time wandering around their home cities of Stormwind or Orgrimmar, dreaming of the day they’ll be old enough (and big enough) to go out into the world to seek the adventures and sights they’ve missed as a child. During Children’s Week, the giving souls of the Horde and the Alliance can help make those dreams true.

Visit Famous Landmarks: Talk to either Orphan Matron Nightingale in Stormwind (Alliance) or Orphan Matron Battlewail in Orgrimmar (Horde) to pick up a new little buddy you can guide around Azeroth and Outland.

PVP still part of the Meta Achievement.

Anal [For the Children] spam incoming!

[Kiwijello]

As if WoW players care about children...

[vilememory]

Gonk should have showed up at the end of the Horde orphan quest in Zuldazar, turned that brat into a saurid. If you wish to act like a saurid, then you can be one for the day. Of course saurid are tasty little things... Then Jaina tells the kid you have to know when to run, grabs them and runs off with Gonk giving them a little head start before chasing after them.

It has been children's week for a long time at Blizzard! Also, please do not ban me again for speaking ill of Blizzard, they are perfect in every way. Thank you.

Nothing new, what a surprise.

PVP still part of the Meta Achievement.

Forget the children and pets, my mind always immediately flashes back to the School of Hard Knocks achievement whenever Children's Week comes up. Been twelve years since I got it and I still get triggered... It was that bad, lol.

Nothing new, what a surprise.

I guess it would be somewhat macabre to collect a child, alive or dead, in Oribos and tour the Shadowlands with them (although there are ghosts of children in the game elsewhere).

MMOC: Nothing new, so lame, Blizzard don't do anything for us!!

Also MMOC: Why are the devs wasting their time on this rubbish when my spell does 1% less damage than my guildie's?!
