Children´s Week Full Step by Step Guide | World of Warcraft GamePlay Guides

For BFA Childrens week, check out Blizzards own guide here.

This event is all about taking care of the orphaned children in Azeroth. Basically you will take care of an orphan for a certain time, show him the world (well two worlds) and have a great time.

Taking care of children will reward you various pets and achievements.

There are 3 cities with orphanages

Stormwind (Alliance) / Orgrimmar (Horde)
Shattrath
Dalaran

How does it work

Choose a city (from above) to take care of an orphan. Locations are listed below.
Each city has their own specific questline with their own final rewards.
The Orphan in that certain city will give you “Orphan Whistle” (Summon and dismiss your orphan when using it).
This will give you quests to go to several places
Completing these quests will open 2 new quests from that city Orphanage (Dalaran differs slightly).
Completing the 2 new quests given rewards various pets.

Orphanage Location for starting quest

Orphanage Stormwind

The NPC is called Orphan Matron Nightingale

Orphanage Orgrimmar

The NPC is called Orphan Matron Battlewail

Orphanage Shattrath

The NPC is called Orphan Matron Mercy. Alliance will take care of Draenei Orphan (Dornaa) and Alliance will take care of Blood Elf Orphan (Salandria).

Dalaran

The NPC is called Orphan Matron Aria. You can choose to take care of Orphan Oracle or Orphan Wolvar.
If you want to do both questlines, you can do the other on an alt character.

Event Quest Guides

When you complete the 3 main quests from a certain city, you will get two new quests. Completing the entire questline from a city orphan will reward you a pet. Different questlines from the different cities rewards different pets. You can´t get all the pets on one character at once. So either wait a year until next Children´s event or do them on alts since these pets are account bound.
