This year, Noblegarden runs from Sunday, April 2 and ends on April 9 on oceanic servers.
During Noblegarden, the towns of Azeroth and their immediate environs are liberally sprinkled with Noblegarden eggs for players to collect in a ravenous frenzy — er, in the spirit of sharing. These eggs contain treats fit for commoners and kings alike!
Not much has changed apart from the level required to purchase the Tome of Polymorph: Rabbit (now level 60).

Last year, I spent the first hour racing around as a Noblegarden Bunny, which soon became a very tedious task. I opted to collect my 600 chocolates before handing them in on the off chance I looted the mount from one of the last 100 eggs.
Since the addition of CRZ, the egg hunt may have been daunting for many but a recent hotfix has made it more bearable.
I think I kept obsessively checking for that mount every time I had three or four eggs accumulated all the way to 500! I should go ride that mount to make it all worthwhile!
