Camping Egg Spawns VS Running Around And Collecting

This is a random post but I must make it! Alright so I am timing this at 10 minutes. I chose Dolannaar as my place for egg hunting. Noblegarden has been going on since Sunday. My work schedule did cut into it but I have been able to get 3 Swift Springstriders. The first one I took for myself since I didn't have one, I sold one for 5,000 gold and the other is in inventory waiting to be sold. I only got 1 from an egg but am hearing reports that people have gotten 2-3 from eggs now.


So today I timed myself collecting eggs for 10 minutes. I did not camp any spawns I simply ran around collecting them. I was able to get 61 eggs. I was very lucky out of those I had no crap like Tuxedo pants or Spring Flowers. Getting those take away from chocolate. I think that is good, now I know you need 500 pieces to buy the mount but 61 seems swell.Keep in mind I did this after 12pm server time, less people were in Dolanaar. And I know where most of the egg spawns are now, so that helps!

As you can see when no one is camping you can collect much quicker! So now I am going to choose a spot and camp it for 10 minutes and see how the results go! Keep in mind if you camp a spot with just 1 egg spawn it will take longer. There is a few spots where more than 1 egg spawns near by. My results are awful: 12 pieces of chocolate and Tuxedo pants. I think I will be sticking to running around and collecting eggs :)

Keep in mind other things will impact your results. The location, how many people are farming, and what the egg drops. Every egg doesn't include a piece of Noblegarden chocolate some have spring type items and a pet. If your lucky an egg can also drop the Swift Springstrider.

Happy Noblegarden!

It has been a very long time since I posted. I have not played WoW since before Christmas 2012 and just reactivated it the end of March. So hopefully more post and possible videos in the future.

Noblegarden started yesterday in WoW and ends April 8th. Right now I am going to try my best to get the chocolate together to purchase the Swift Springstrider. This mount cost 500 pieces of Noblegarden chocolate. I am currently up to 274 pieces.

Last night was the first night I seriously sat down after work to hunt for these eggs. Goldshire and Kharanos are way to over crowded for my liking. I use to go to Azure Watch which was ok. This year I am egg hunting in Dolanaar.

Night seems to be a bad time to try and get eggs from anywhere, way to many people online. And you probably noticed quite a few players camp spawning points so it makes it very hard to collect any eggs unless you try and take their camp spot or just run around picking the eggs people miss. I have found it was more productive to just run around, I notice some bushes get missed that hide eggs. And the spawn spots are the same so once you make your map out running to these spots can be beneficial.

This morning I logged in around 9:30am. From 9:30 to 10:30 I had collect 103 pieces of chocolate, this is from not camping a spot but running around. Might I add less people were online! When I came back I collected a little over 100 again. Not that bad really, it could be worse. It did take 2 hours of my time but if I didn't work later I could probably get my mount today.

Tonight when I log in I probably will have to deal with to many people again. I can't say what happens after 2am though, it might die off somewhere in between that time.

I suggest reading about Noblegarden from this trusted site if you need to know more, Noblegarden Guide
That will explain pretty much everything. So now you may be wondering where eggs are hid. Here is a sample of spots.

This shot was taking in spots in Dolanaar









The final spot is a bush hiding area  tried to circle it, might be hard to tell. Depending on the area they can be in strange places or most often out in the open. Anyhow happy Noblegarden, at some point I plan on posting more and maybe adding a video or 2 once I get a headset.
