Childrens Week Achievement - Daily Chores

I am wondering if this achievement is having any problems at the moment? I have completed so far about 4-5 dailies and the achiement tracker still registers as 0/5.

To date I have done the pvp daily (EotS), the Cooking daily, the Noble Garden daily (collecting egg shells) and just then the K3 Daily with land mines. Each time the orphan was out when accepting quest, and out when handing in. With the last daily (K3) I had the orphan present from start to hand in.

So thoughts any one?

Was this done prior to realm restarts - or after, Redbul?

As an update to this issue: I two-box quests at times (perfectly legit ppl thx) and this is one. I had both orphans out and on my mage it counted the quest I turned in and on my warlock it did not count the quest he turned in. So it seems to have nothing to do with a server restart or whatever, but a condition on the character/account or machine. Later I will switch machines and do another daily on warlock, if this fixes the issue I will update my post.

Note that the warlock also has zero addons running when I did this, so it was not that either. I had also tried different dailies and none brought my count up to 1/5.


Might try relogging as well, see if this counter updates. Please do keep us updated.

Just a heads-up. The text of the achievement has not changed because that would require a patch. However, there are reports on the Bug reports forum that completing 5 daily quests with your orphan out grants the achievement.

It appears to be a definite fix after the restarts


This is indeed what was intended by the restarts this morning.

And Chipster is correct, the text hasn't changed, but the functionality should have. This should be fairly simple to complete.

Q u o t e:
Daily Chore - Yeah I did 6 daily quests with my orphan out and got no credit. I even went and got myself a new Orphan just incase mine was broken. So now we are down to 5 daily quests in 6 days and that's only if they fix it.

Home Alone - Yeah did this one 5 or 6 times, got credit for it each time, but then it resets itself and you have to do it again.

This world event has been a real failure and nothing but one frustration after another.


This was all after your realm restarted, Etsuya?

A friend has reported that Home Alone is still bugged after our realm (Bronzebeard) restarted. Chores appears to be fine.


Keranna thank you very much for this report - passing along.

To give just a bit more detail -

Home Alone is happening every time he or anyone else hearths, not just when they log out and come back.


Aye, that's what was supposed to be fixed.

Here is something to try, make sure you aren't zoning when you hearth. Walk outside the Inn, say, hearth back inside, see if it's sticking. Zoning while hearthing was one of the issues that needed to be addressed.

Keranna's friend here. I just hearthed Alliance side bank to Alliance inn in Dalaran and didn't (re)get Home Alone, so it appears to be fixed, at least if you're not zoning while doing it.

When I did have it happen I was hearthing from UP to Dalaran, after the restart. However, I was in UP before the restart and had not zoned out and back in after the restart, so possibly that has something to do with it.


This is heartening to hear, thank you very much for this information.

If anyone else observes anything similar with this achievement, please do notify us immediately.

If Khaz has not yet restarted, then you may still have this issue until after the restart is complete.
