In World of Warcraft the “great” Murloc holiday takes place. We will tell you what you need to do during the March of the Tadpoles.
In World of Warcraft there are many holidays, and the smaller ones are often unknown because they are only active for a single day. One of these holidays is the “March of the Tadpoles”. Here you can fulfill great wishes for a baby Murloc and will then be daily rewarded with “rewards”.
What kind of event is this? The March of the Tadpoles takes place on April 5th – and only on this day. When the event is active, the little baby Murlocs create chaos and take over their parents’ village. This is not only quite chaotic but also very dangerous for the little ones. Therefore, it takes “great heroes” to help the Murloc tadpoles.
What do you have to do during the event? Travel to the Borean Tundra on the continent of Northrend to the coordinates 43 / 13. There you will find a village of neutral Murlocs and should immediately see the chaos – baby Murlocs are running around everywhere, causing mayhem.
Talk to King Mrgl-Mrgl, who will then assign you the task of watching over one of the tadpoles. You can choose from 30 different baby Murlocs, but your choice has no lasting effects. Just pick the Murloc with the cutest name or the prettiest appearance, as he or she will accompany you for the rest of the quest series.
The quest line is quite short afterward. First, you need to collect 10 shells, which you can find underwater right in front of the village. Then a large orca needs to be defeated, which the Murlocs are rightly afraid of. The orca scales with your level; at level 70, it has just over a million HP but is not particularly strong.
What rewards are there? Those expecting a really big or permanent reward may be disappointed by the event. However, if you participate in the event, you will receive a daily quest from your chosen baby Murloc every day. In this, the little tadpole rewards you with “great treasures” they have found – out of gratitude for your help.
The treasures are technically just “gray junk” that you can sell to the vendor for a little money. But that would be pretty heartless, considering how hard the little Murloc worked to find a piece of driftwood that looks like you…
However, in April 2023, there are some travel points that will grant vendor currencies when you help a little Murloc. So it’s worth a visit if you still lack rewards from the trading post!
If you want to do something “good”, check out the baby Murlocs in the Borean Tundra. It’s a nice little event that makes World of Warcraft a bit more colorful and gurgling.
