Hallow's End - Orphan Quest

One of the Hallow's End quests is an Orphan Quest.

Here's my cheat sheet:
(You'll need 2 open quest slots)

	Alliance	Horde
Phase 1 Get Starter Quest	Go to the Human Orphanage - Located in one of the free standing buildings in Cathedral Square in Stormwind.	Go to the Orc Orphanage - Located in the Valley of Honor in Orgrimmar. It's a building to the left of the mining trainer. (71,22)
	Starter Quest Link on Thottbot	Starter Quest Link on Thottbot
Phase 2 Pick up the Candy (No xp.)	Visit 3 different Inns. Get the quest from the Innkeeper and do the requested emote to get the candy.
	Stormwind (/flex for Nougat) Ironforge (/chicken for Mint) Darnassus (/dance for Marzipan)	Orgrimmar (/flex for Nougat) Undercity (/chicken for Mint) Thunderbluff (/dance for Marzipan)
	Find Talvash del Kissel (Mystic Ward of Ironforge 36,3) Get quest then do the /train emote for a gumdrop.	Find Kali Remik (Sen'jin Village Durotar 56,74) Get quest then do the /train emote for a gumdrop.
Phase 3 Take Candy to Orphan (1,650 xp+ 100 Faction and 30 Treats)	Return all 4 pieces of candy to the Orphan at the Orphanage

And here's me willing to look like an idiot for a piece of candy:

I found Timmy

I had seen Timmy a few times in my travels but never realized what a rare spawn he is. Apparently he's one of Stormwind's secrets. I first learned this while watching G4TV when they did a special about World of Warcraft. Since then I never saw him. Until yesterday:

I was able to buy his white kitten for 60 Silver. Apparently you can sell them for 5 gold on the auction house. I think I'll keep this one though.

This Allakhazam.com link includes a picture of his route, although I liked this one better from RPG expert. It also showed his spawn point.

Orphanisms

Children's Week

Blizzard added a new Children's Week page which describes the basic locations you have to take the Orphans to. This event is scheduled to last to the 16th. Here are the notes I've taken on it, mostly from the Blizzard page, Thottbot and my own experiences (today I ran through it to get each of the different pets).

	Alliance	Horde
Phase 1 Get Starter Quest	Go to the Human Orphanage - Located in one of the free standing buildings in Cathedral Square in Stormwind.	Go to the Orc Orphanage - Located in the Valley of Honor in a building to the left of the mining trainer.
	Starter Quest Link on Thottbot	Starter Quest Link on Thottbot
Phase 2 Sightseeing (Get 650 xp for each.)

Phase 3 Making Memories (Get 650 xp for each.)	Get him a Strawberry Ice Cream (Sold in stacks of five but you only need 1). Available in Stormwind in front of the bank (temporary vendor) Get Jaina Proudmoore's Authograph in Theramore (Top of central tower in town)	Get him a Strawberry Ice Cream (Sold in stacks of five but you only need 1). Available in Orgrimmar by the bank. Get Cairne Bloodhoof's Hoofprint in Thunder Bluff
Phase 4 Take your Orphan Home (1,650 xp plus Pet Reward)	Return the Orphan to the Orphanage

Pet Rewards (Select One):

• Rat Cage (aka "Whiskers")
• Piglet's Collar (aka "Mr. Wiggles")
• Turtle Box (aka "Speedy")
• 5 Gold

Now for the real test as I try to run my new Priest (still level 10) through it!

Children's Week Dates

Children's Week Dates:
The other night I emailed the error to the worldofwarcraft.com webmaster that the Children's Week dates looked wrong.

One location said the event would run next week and another said it was running now. Judging by the fact that I went and got the quest, I figured the one that was wrong was the one that said it wasn't until next week.

Wrong. Check out the updated Events Page:

May 1, 2005
(Said May 1-8)

May 2, 2005
(Now it says May 9-16)

And now you can no longer start the quest:

Surprisingly, though, I can still whistle up the orphan on the one character I had who took the quest.

So, bottom line? (1) I am apparently a date crasher. And (2) Children's Week isn't until Next Week. (But ask me again tomorrow, the answer might change.)
