Summary
World of Warcrafthas begun Children’s Week with a massive refresh to the holiday, including four orphans and questlines in Dornogal, the Well-loved Figure currency, and new pets and transmogs to collect. The holiday is live inWorld of Warcraftfrom now until May 5, so fans should be sure to check out the revamped event before it ends.
Children’s Week is a shortholiday and in-game event inWorld of Warcraftwhere players can temporarily adopt orphans from Azeroth’s many wars and journey across the world, completing quests along the way. Though the holiday has received updates in the past, the last major addition to it was duringBattle for Azeroth, with new orphans available in Boralus and Dazar’alor.
Now, six years after the last update,World of Warcrafthas finally added a bunch of new content for Children’s Week. Four orphans fromseveral of the major Renown factions fromWorld of Warcraft: The War Withincan now be adopted: Skibbles the Kobold, Destien the Arathi, Kitzy the Goblin, and Threadis the Nerubian. Quests for these children can be picked up from Ullna, the Earthen Matron in Training located in Dornogal, from now through May 4, alongside all previous quests and content.
What’s more, completing these questlines now rewards Well-loved Figurines, a new currency specific to the event. These items can be exchanged with Jepetto Joybuzz in Dornogal, Brundia Braidhammer in Stormwind, or Leial Knitterton in Orgrimmar for rewards, including the new Argos, Helpful Workshop Bot, and Goggles pets, the Children’s Stormwind and Orgrimmar Guard Weapon Set ensembles, or old rewards from previous years.
No new achievements have been added to the holiday beyond those already available, including the For the Children meta-achievement. Fans working towards the greater What a Long, Strange Trip It’s Beenholiday meta-achievement inWorld of Warcraftcan still complete these tasks to work towards the Violet Proto-Drake mount as in previous years.
Children’s Week has also returned toWoW Classicduring the same period. Players in Season of Discovery and Classic Era can head to Orphan Matron Nightingale in Stormwind for the Alliance and Orphan Matron Battlewail in Orgrimmar for the Horde, whileCataclysm Classicfans of both factions can also travel to Orphan Matron Mercy in Shattrath or Orphan Matron Aria in Dalaran, to adopt an orphan and begin the holiday event. Completing these questlines is a great way to earn experience, reputation, and some charming pets, soWorld of Warcraft Classicplayers looking to boost their charactersshould consider visiting these orphanages during the event.
