World of Warcraft is opening May by celebrating Children’s Week and refreshing the Trading Post. The event even lets you earn yourself some Trader’s Tender. All this ahead of tomorrow's Embers of Neltharion update.
Starting today and ending May 8th, during Children's Week you'll be able to take an orphan with you around Azeroth, complete quests, And take a protégé around on your adventures and activities to earn yourself some rewards(and achievements). Almost all of the orphans will have their own mounts as well, so you'll be able to take them around the world more easily. The event is open to characters level 10 and up and there are several NPCs to talk toto start orphan questlines.
After you complete some of these quests, not only will you be able to earn yourself some Traders Tender that you can spend at the Trading Post. You'll also be able to select a pet to add to your collection. The pet you'll be able to choose depends on the orphan questline you finish. The pets are not new, however, so if you've actually collected them all already, there will still be a reward, the Pet Care Package, that will give you a bunch of items related to pets,including pug costumes.
The event will also be available in a slightly different form in World of Warcraft classic.
As for the May Trading Post, this month's rewards include a new pet, several weapon options, including the Sharpened Shank dagger, and Huntsman’s Recurve Bow, Grimskull belts, and several clothing items to refresh your spring wardrobe.
Maybe the High Priestess’s Ceremonial Drape cloak or the Vagabond’s Snowy Threads hood and cloak ensemble will suit your fashion needs. There’s also a new Wanderer’s Snowy Trappings hood and cloak ensemble. And then there are the hats. The Crimson Bicorne looks like a good soldier’s har, but maybe the Lost Crown of the Arcane, with its sharp crystalline looking structure and the fact it’s also on fire, is the big statement you want to make.
The month’s pet is Pippin, a robot dog, and the monthly bonus reward is a new mount, the Savage Green Battle Turtle.
