Children's Week 2015 Guide (April 27 - May 4)
Children's Week
is a week in which we brave a challenge greater than any undead monstrosity and a task more daunting than saving the world. We must become parents for all those orphans throughout Azeroth and make sure they are happy. We can't tank a child's fears, we can't heal its memories of pain, nor can we DPS the sorrow out of them. So equip your toys, make a mage conjure a candy table, fill your quiver with joy, load your gun with something colorful, and venture into the World of Parenting!
Children's Week
begins on
April 27th
at
11:01 AM
and ends on
May 4th
at
11:00 AM
.
In 2015,
Green Balloon
is a toy that counts towards your Toy Box.
Pet Care Package
is also new to 2015 and contains a variety of items including pug costumes like
Big Pink Bow
,
Magical Pet Biscuit
, and
Flawless Battle-Stone
. This is an alternative reward from the orphan quests and great if you already have the pets!
Flawless Battle-Stone
can also be sold on the AH.
There are 10 pets you can get during Children's Week, and they are account-wide, so you can do the quest chains on multiple characters to get all the pets in one year. You can get
3 pets
on one character per year.

New Guides to Vanity Item Collections, Friday Update Arcade, Last Day for Snowy Owl and Squid
New Vanity Item Guides
We love vanity items here at Wowhead, so we've launched a trio of guides to help you acquire rare items:
Obtaining Blizzard Shop and BlizzCon Vanity Items
covers all the items from the in-game shop, Recruit-a-Friend, BlizzCon Virtual Tickets, and Collector's Editions. It also provides instructions on how to purchase items via the Battle.net and in-game stores.
Obtaining Items from the Black Market Auction House
explains the unique nature of this Auction House, starting bid prices, all the rare items found on the AH, and other ways you can acquire them. Warlords of Draenor added more items to the BMAH including tabards, pets from MoP raids, and mounts like
Swift Zulian Tiger
.
Obtaining All the WoW Trading Card Game Items
has been revamped to include a section just on Toys, as well as information on what items are on the BMAH. The guide also provides suggestions on what items have in-game equivalents--useful if you like an item but don't have the gold or money required to obtain it.
Friday Update Arcade
