What the achievement asks
Tend to the needs of five newly hatched whelplings at the Little Scales Daycare. Ten points, account-wide.
Where everybody stands
| Whelp | Coordinates |
|---|---|
| Rusziona | 11.40 57.40 |
| Belastrasza | 10.60 59.00 |
| Zhusadormu | 14.00 55.00 |
| Zalethgos | 09.80 56.60 |
| Posidriss | 16.00 54.80 |
The daycare is in the north-west corner of Valdrakken, around 13 57, and everything happens within a few steps of Agapanthus.
Four days per whelp, and no way to hurry it
Each whelpling runs on the same four-day pattern, one step per daily reset.
| Day | What the whelp asks for |
|---|---|
| 1 | Acquire and hatch the egg, then prepare the nest |
| 2 | Feed the hatchling, then play tag |
| 3 | Take it on an adventure, which unlocks that whelp's own daily quests |
| 4 | Find it a friend, do the pet battle, and collect both as companion pets |
Day 4 of one whelp is also day 1 of the next, so five whelplings is roughly fifteen days at best, and only if you never miss a reset. There is no catch-up, no way to do two days in one, and nothing you can pay to skip it.
That makes this the achievement to start on the first day you decide to chase the meta rather than the one you leave for the end.
The free trip back
Several of these tasks send you across the Dragon Isles and back, and your hearthstone will not be ready every time.
There is a way round it. Accept the derby quest from Celetiros at 13.80 59.00 and forfeit the race. Go and do whatever you needed to do, anywhere. Then open your quest log and abandon the derby quest, and you are put back at the daycare instantly.
It works as often as you like, and it turns a five-minute flight into nothing.
The reset bug
For a long stretch this achievement wiped its own progress. Players finished their fifth whelpling and watched every other whelp turn grey, and Blizzard confirmed it was affecting a large number of players with no workaround available.
It was fixed on 31 July 2024. If you are reading this having lost progress on an old attempt, the current game keeps it: pick up where the criteria say you are rather than starting again.
Where it fits
Part of A World Awoken, which rewards Taivan. The same fifteen days of dailies also produce Whelp, There It Is and Daycare Derby, so do all three at once or you will be here for a month.
