Children's Week

Use the Human Orphan Whistle to talk with the child you will be looking after during Children's Week.
Provided Item:
Human Orphan Whistle

Description

You're willing to help us here at the orphanage? Bless you, friend; your aid during Children's Week will be invaluable.

Take this whistle. You will only be able to use it for a short amount of time - typically not longer than Children's Week itself. When you use it, you will be able to talk with the child you've agreed to look after. Using it again will dismiss the child.

By all means <name> - use the whistle and meet your ward! I'm sure the child will be most eager to meet you.

There are 6 quests in total

First he gives you these 3:
-take him to the lighthouse southwest of Moonbrok by the shore (the one for the Old-Murk eye quest)
-take him to the bank of darnassus (take boat from menethil harbor to auderbine and then to ruth'eran village-there is a portal to darnassus there)
-take him to the dam in Loch modan (it is by that kobolds cave)

After you hit these 3 you get 2 more:
-get an aoutograph from Jana, the boss lvl wizard in Theramore wizard tower, the one you need to talk to when you are doing Lost diplomat quest i belive (to get to Theramore take the boat from Menethil harbor)
-go to the vendor in SW or go to Shimering flats ice-cram vendor and buy the little dude an ice-cream

After you complete these 2 you get final 1:
-this one doesn't include any "oh mister please take me there and buy me that and i want to be the hero of alliance and all that jazz" just bring the kid back to the place where you claimed him and VOILA

TIPS:-i suggest you do it like this: westfall-->loch modan-->darnassus-->theramore-->ice-cream(buy it in SW)-->take the kid back
-and also don't take the rat its the most boring pet of all 3 (Mr.Wigles or Speedy 4 life)

EDIT: I didn't see but I'm wondering if you get any reputation with Stormwind for completing this?

You don't keep the child for good. At the end you have to return to the matron in Stormwind and return the child giving up your whistle as well.

It's a total of 5 quests though. Once you finish the first three, he pops up with 2 more.

FYI: Buy ice cream in Stormwind by the bank rather than flying to Tanaris or buying it at the AH for a ridiculous amount of silver.

5 silver = 5 ice cream.

He also asks for Jana's autograph. Go to Theramore and Jana is in the middle tower at the very top.

First 3 quests:
-Take him to the Lordareon Throne room, the area before entering Undercity, with a throne in it (duh)
-Take him to the docks of Ratchet, Barrens. This means the bit where the dock begins, and the land ends.
-Take him to the Mor'shan Rampart, on the northen edge of the Barrens on the border of Ashenvale.

After you do these 3 you get 2 more:
-Get a hoofprint from Cairne Bloodhoof, Tauren leader, who is on the eastern side of the middle bluff in Thunder Bluff.
-Buy your orphan an ice-cream from either Shimmering Flats (1k needles), near the gnome pit crewmen, or Orgrimmar, between the bank and auction house.

After you complete these 2 you get final 1:
-Just take him back to the orphan matron in Orgrimmar, and ur done!

Suggested order:
*Start in Orgrimmar
*Zeppelin to Undercity - complete quest
*Zeppelin back to Orgrimmar
*Fly to Crossroads, Barrens
*Run to Ratchet - complete quest
*Run to Crossroads, then north to Mor'shan Rampart - complete quest
*Run back to Crossroads, Fly to Thunder Bluff
*Talk to Cairne for the hoofprint
*Fly back to Orgrimmar
*Buy ice cream, take back orhpan and you're done!

I talked to the lady 2 times and then she gave me a whistle.With the whistle you call the child and you take the 3 quest from him.Well it's easy to complete.What you have to do is whistle to the child so it will disappear and when you compete the quest just wistle again to appear and then complete the quest.So it's fast too because you can flight with the hypogriphs and then call it again(the child)when you reach the place you want.And the good is that you don't have to care about the kid when you fight with mobs(that's if the kid is disappeared)

FYI: You must talk to the Matron first. She has an option on her gossip window, "Well what do you know, this is Children's Week! What can I do to help?" After using this option, the quest should be available.

I initially went to the Matron at level 8 and was unable to pick it up, went back at level 10 and I was able to accept the quest.

The Human Orphan gives you quests to go to several places, including the Westfall Lighthouse, the Stonewrought Dam, and Jaina Proudmoore's tower. The last quest in the chain is A Warden of the Alliance, https://classicdb.ch/?quest=171, which has the rewards.

I did it last year and Have Speedy.&nbsp So perhaps this quest won't be available to me.&nbsp Not confirmed yet.

Quest not available as of May 1st at least for me who did it last year.&nbsp But see no sign of others getting it yet either.

If you LOSE KID via BOAT or BIRD, just use WHISTLE again and BAM, he's back.

Just like any other non combat pet, it's resummonable, and does not cause or take damage.

I seem to recall lev 9 being able to do the quest, so if a lev 7 was too low, perhaps it's 8 or 9.&nbsp Probably to avoid ppl making new characters over and over to get 5g only to mail money, delete character, and make a new one to get 5 more gold.&nbsp Seems a lot of work for only 5g, when it's easily gotten in outlands now, but perhaps not for those who aren't in outlands yet.

I hope that helped answer some questions re: Childrens week.

After researching the issue and talking with a GM because i wanted the silly pig pet and could not start the quest I found out that it is not yet Children's Week for this year. I had looked at the events calendar and it just said May so i though it would be good to go. Apprently this quest should be available with the advent of patch 2.1 Maybe next Tuesday dont know for sure. Just keep waiting and don't forget to get your pig or rat or turtle or the money but thats just lame.

Unsure of the lvl requirement, but seems strange you couldn't get it at lvl 25 as I saw a lvl 17 with an Orphan following them, and they were NE, so can't have been anything to do with rep.. Anywho, took me about 45 mins to complete the whole thing on 60 hunter.

EDIT: Afiushf, no, you don't have to go through barrens, go to Menethil Harbour and get left hand boat, which will take you to Theramore.

For the Alliance, there is also a Draenei Orphan quest which is obtained from the orphanage in Shattrah Lower City. The quest was yellow to me at 70. The series involves travel to Auch, Dark Portal in HFP, Nagrand, Exodar and CoT.

The Human Orphan quest can be done before or after the Draenei Orphan series. I did it before.

There is a level limit to this.&nbsp Another spoiler site mentioned level 15.&nbsp I tried this with a level 7, and approaching her, her exclamation point was gray.&nbsp She gave me the standard speil, but then no more.&nbsp

On the plus side, my level 45 is showing this kid the time of his life and we haven't even started the quest yet, hehe.&nbsp These kids are champion runners and will keep up with your mount (at least the lvl 40 one), haven't had the nerve to not blow the whistle and jump a bird without him though, hehe.

the boat to theramore is in Menethil Harbour.. if you are at the griffon master facing the harbour it is the left dock... take that to theramore and you never have to go through the barrens.

I'm not sure what happened. I did this quest at my early 30 level and as a reward I got Mr. Wiggles a pig pet that everyone confuses as a sheep.

I tried to get the quest with another character i have, different server. level 21 and I was unable to get it. I wonder what hte other pet prizes look like

The orphan matron at Stormwind gives it to you. She's usually outiside the orphan center in the cathedral square. I've seen lower levels get them (lvl 16) but lvl 10's didnt have so much luck.

You can pick any one of these three pets or you can get 5 gold. The people who pick the gold it says that they are people who like to tell children there is no Santa.

This error gets fixed by simply speaking with the NPC (By asking "What can I do to help during Children's Week?" or something like that) before trying to get the quest.

the woman who gives the quest has Orphan Mistriss (or something) as her title ... you sometimes do have to click the chat icon that says what can I do to help? read that then talk to her again and she should give you the whistle. Blow it and a random child appears.

So far this is easy, except what is the best way to get from Goldshire to Darnassus?
