Children's Week 2021

2021-05-02 23:59:17
PET NEWS - BY DRAGONSAFTERDARK
You’re not quite sure how you got roped into this, but through the haze of last night’s drinking of a particularly heady Pandaren brew you recall a card game. In fact, as the bits and pieces slowly fall into place while you eat your breakfast, you remember someone unexpected and out of place at the card table: a matronly woman. After being thoroughly trounced, you pushed the winnings toward her.

She smiled, and only took half. “You’ll need the rest for tomorrow,” she said, and handed you a note.

It was that note you now held in your hand, and all it had was directions. Curious, you follow it to a building full to the brim with chattering, excited children.

“Ah!” the woman from last night exclaimed. “So glad you could make it. I have just the child for you,” she said, turning to head back inside, ignoring your slack-jawed shock.

“Here you go,” she said, a child bounding out of the building with her. “You two have fun, now.”

She waved the two of you off as you walk away from the orphanage. Panic races through you as you realize you have no idea what to do, but the kid just laughed.

“Beat you in a card game, didn’t she?” they asked.

You nod, and a broad grin broke out across their face.

“Matron is the best card shark this side of the Great Sea. Does this every year. Look,” they say, pointing to a cluster of equally stunned adventurers. “Don’t worry. I have tons of ideas about what we can do!” the kid exclaims.

Maybe today won’t be as bad as you think.




Happy Children’s Week, fellow Azerothians! Children’s Week is when adventurers, such as yourself, take time out of their villain-slaying schedule to give the orphans of various wars and conflicts something to look forward to. You’ll be heading to different locales, giving the children gifts, excitement, and a taste of adventure, so let’s get going—the kids are waiting!

There are four different sets of pets that can be obtained from different matrons, so make sure you’re heading to the correct orphanage! A total of 14 pets can be obtained through this holiday, and if you have enough alts they can all be yours in one year. However, if you’re looking to get the Veteran Nanny achievement, see our note below in the Achievement section at the bottom.

All pets that are part of this holiday are cageable, except the Curious Wolvar Pup & the Curious Oracle Hatchling

While Blizzard has stated the quests are; "Available to characters level 10 or above," we're not quite sure how or if the level squish and Chromie time will impact what levels you can do these quest chains, so the levels will be removed until we know for sure!



1. Orgrimmar / Stormwind



Horde will go to Orphan Matron Battlewail in Orgrimmar, and Alliance to Orphan Matron Nightingale in Stormwind. This is a 6-part quest chain for both factions, and easy to complete. At the end of the chain, you’ll be rewarded with your choice of:


1.1 Rat Cage / Whiskers the Rat


1.2 Turtle Box / Speedy


1.3 Snail Shell / Scooter the Snail


1.4 Piglet’s Collar / Mr. Wiggles








2. Shattrath



Horde and Alliance need to go to Shattrath and accept the quest from Orphan Matron Mercy, who will give Horde players a Blood Elf child, and Alliance players a Draenai child. This is once again a 6-part chain, at the end of which you’ll be rewarded with your choice of:


2.1 Egbert’s Egg / Egbert


2.2 Elekk Training Collar, Peanut


2.3 Sleepy Willy / Willy


2.4 Legs








3. Dalaran (Northrend)



Horde and Alliance will need to go to Dalaran in Northrend and accept the quest from Orphan Matron Aria. This is the only faction non-specific chain set for Children’s Week. When speaking with the matron, you’ll be given the choice between an Oracle or Wolvar orphan. After your 7-part chain, whichever orphan you chose will be reflected in your pet reward:


3.1 Curious Oracle Hatchling


3.2 Curious Wolvar Pup






4. Battle for Azeroth



Horde will go to Caretaker Padae in the Grand Bazaar in Dazar’alor, and Alliance will go to Orphan Matron Westerson at Hook Point in Boralus. This is also a 6-part quest chain that will conclude with your choice of:


4.1 Sandy Hermit Crab Shell / Mr. Crabs


4.2 Beakbert


4.3 Slimy Pouch / Froglet


4.4 Enchanted Saurolisk Scale / Scaley









5. Achievements



There are also two achievements that are specifically tied to the pets of the event: Veteran Nanny, and Aw, Isn’t It Cute?

Veteran Nanny is an achievement that will take players at least three years to complete, because it does not count across characters. All the pets for the achievement come from the same orphan matron, and the chain can only be done once a year.







And that’s everything!

We at Xu-Fu’s wish you all the best in your pet collecting endeavors, and until next time: Happy Battling!

So you used to be able to get multiple Northrend pets (Oracles/Frenzyheart) but I dont seem to be able to anymore? I've completed both on multiple characters and have not received the pets in mails on any of the characters (some brand new so 100% hadnt completed it before). Hopefully a bug and will be fixed soon

As per the official blue post, the earliest lvl you can start these quests at is lvl 10.

Are there any callouts of pets in this list that are useful or should be on the list for pet battles -or- are they all relatively cosmetic, don't bring anything we already get elsewhere and thus pick whatever you want/feel?

Looks like the only one that shows up on our tier lists for PvE & PvP is the Curious Wolvar Pup. It's on the PvP tier 3 list for a bleeding synergy team.

Otherwise, choose one that appeals to you :)
