Xu-Fu's Pet Battle Strategies

What's that, no more outdated collections...?

Yep! As part of the updates I'm doing, I've now also added a function that keeps your collection up to date. As long as the character details that are saved with your collection are correct, Xu-Fu now updates your collection every 48h.

So as long as you're not going on a crazy pet shopping spree, you should have a smooth experience browsing strategies here :-) And even if, you can still manually update your collection any time.

New Armory Connection

A long maintenance just concluded that was necessary to move the page from an old to a newer database connection. This change was required by Blizzard. If you want to know all the details, you can read the full announcement.

So what has changed? Not much, sadly. Xu-Fu is a bit more future proof and things won't break suddenly, but there are no new features now. Things might load a little bit faster now and all new pets can be imported into you collection (like the Anima Wyrmling), but that's it for now.

If you notice any errors or things not working anymore, please reach out to Aranesh!

Shadowbarb Hatchling: Do You Want to Hatch a Void Bug?

Just when we thought Blizzard was done adding new pets to the PTR, the latest build has brought a new surprise: meet the Shadowbarb Hatchling!

This pet is a reward as part of a quest chain, combined with hatching it through a progression of daily quests, which we'll go into a little more below. So, let's get started on where you can go to begin hatching your very own bug!

Head just south of the second 'R' in Ankhaten Harbor, coords: 20.81, 62.03

This may not be the only place to find an egg, but it's where I found mine. *thumbs up*

Once you get there, you'll see this:

Click on the egg to get the quest pop-up.

Now, head over to Ramkahen, and meet up with H'partho Ardoros.

He'll then place the egg on the pedestal to his right. The egg will now have a bar above it that says 'Hatching...' and when moused over it displays an 'xp' bar. The bar is currently set to 5,000, though we'll have to see if there are progressive bars after, like with the Bee Mount.

Once you turn in The Incredible Egg, H'partho will offer you the quest, 'Match the Hatch'.

This will send you over to two possible areas: Temple of Uldum & Northwest of the Obelisk of the Moon.

Once there, you need to find 7 of these eggs:

The eggs will hatch while you study them, spawning three little bugs. Might have been my gear, but the poison they put on you can do decent damage stacked with their hits. They're not terribly difficult to kill; just watch your HP.

Once you get 7, head back to H'partho.

After that, his chat box will display this:

You'll end this first day with 600 / 5,000 on the hatching. If each daily gives 300, you're looking at about 15 days for what might be this first bar.

Day Two: The Hunger

Day 2 with H'parthos offers the quest 'Void Incubation'.

Now, what they mean by areas under assault by N'Zoth seem be where the tentacle-inclined are hanging out, not just where the purple rings on the map are showing up. Just look between Uldum and the Vale, and check for your lovely, opaque blue questing area indicator. For me, I got the Vale:

The Crystallized Void will be little gems on the ground, and look like this:

And I found them around the base of these structures:

If you haven't completed your assault for the day, don't be fooled by the millions of other glowing things hanging about, especially the tomes, which are about the same size.

After you get 10 Crystallized Void, head back to H'parthos.

He tells you not to worry about any side effects from carrying the crystallized void around, but if you, or someone you know, has suffered void crystal-related illness or injury, you may be entitled to compensation. Contact your local Titan facility for more details.

Day 2 ends with 900/5,000 on the Hatching.

Day Three: Under Wraps

On day, 3, H'parthos tells you your egg needs a nice, sticky blanket.

This quest will send you to 5 potential locations around Uldum:

Your quest items will drop from three different enemies: Aqir Voidcasters, Corrupt Egg Tenders, & Aqir Dominators (Elite)

Out of the five areas, I preferred the Obelisk of the Sun. The Voidcasters are around the edges of the plateau, near the egg clusters, and there's less mob aggro from non-quest enemies (in my experience).

Once you find some of these enemies, kill them for their Aqir Webbing:

Then head back over to H'partho:

Once you complete the quest, your egg will change to look like this:

Now your egg is snug as a bug in an...egg.

What was different about today was the jump in the Hatching number--it's either at 1300/5000 or 1800/5000. It's hard to tell, because the line is going right through the number. Either way, it's a jump from the 300 xp earned from previous days.

Day Four: In the Cold, Cold Night

On Day 4, H'partho says the cold, desert nights might be too much for our little egg, and instructs you to find something to help it stay warm.

Once you accept, head over to the Obelisk of the Stars:

Once you get there, you'll head down into the chamber.

Once inside, turn around, and you'll see these three cat-a-taurs around your quest item:

You'll want to kill them one at a time. They do a damage-stacking ability that would probably be quite painful with all three of them adding it at the same time.

Once they're dead, loot the spiky disc:

Head back over to H'partho, and turn in the quest.

At this point, your egg is getting blinged out!

You'll end the day at 2700/5000 on the Hatching bar, which means we are not looking at 15 days for this bar, as it seems to be adding 900 the last couple of days. This could mean the chain is either going to be very short, or we have more bars.

Day Five & Six: Here We Go Again

Day five gives us our first daily, instead of outright quest:

It was probably just a bug, but the zones didn't display the quest objective area for me. As such, you're looking for the zone that's specifically being Assaulted by N'zoth, not the Aqir, or the Mantids, or any of the secondary forces. Another way to tell, at least on the PTR, is the sky will be purple during N'Zoth assaults, but not from the other forces.

That said, it'll be the same as Day 2. You'll find the Crystallized Void around the bottom of the N'zoth structures that have erupted from the ground, as shown above in the day two part of the article.

Head back to H'partho for your turn-in:

Day 5 ends with your Hatching at 3,000 / 5,000. We're getting close!

Day 6 ends with your Hatching at 3300 / 5000

Day Seven: Danger Zone

On Day Seven we get another unique quest to soup up your egg! I'm not sure if the quests and their order are connected to where the N'zoth forces are assualting, but today it switched from Pandaria to Uldum, and we got a new quest to head to Pandaria. Once more people do the chain, we'll know for sure.

As I said, H'partho is sending us over to the Vale:

He wants us to grab an Amber Incubator to help speed up the Hatching process. The closest FP in the Vale to the quest objective is going to be the Serpent's Spine in the South-West:

Once you get there, the Amber Incubator will be inside the wall/fort area, in the corner:

Once you click on it, H'partho airlifts it out:

Head back over to Ramkahen to turn in the quest:

Now your egg will look like this:

We also see another big jump in the Hatching, with day 7 ending at 4200 / 5000!

Day Eight, Nine, & Ten: Over and Over Again

We're back to the Void Incubation daily, but this time the assault was in Uldum, and not the Vale. I found most of the Crystallized Void along the green areas within the purple assault section.

However, it looks a bit different in Uldum. You'll need to find little spots that look like void tears or spills on the ground:

I looked around to see if the Crystallized Void was anywhere else, but nothing jumped out at me.

Day 8 ends with 4500 / 5000.

Day 9 ends with 4800 / 5000! So close!

Day 10 ends with 4999 / 5000... Guess we'll have to see what's what tomorrow.

Day Eleven: Welcome Home

It's time for the big day: our egg is hatching!

Our little structure is all lit up and clickable:

And it's time to greet our new friend!

Naturally, once you hatch your Shadowbarb Larva, it's time to pick a name:

And once you choose a name, there's no going back. I went with a traditional name in the Shath'yar language: Yu'gaz. When I went to the translation page for the Old God language, it either means 'Servant' or 'Faithful', from what I could find. I'm leaning more toward faithful.

Now you click on 'Complete Quest'.

Once you do that, your Larva gets a whole new area to call their own:

You also get a toy!

I decided to test it on an unsuspecting cat-a-taur, so this is what the toy effect will look like:

Now, back to your larva. Like most newly born (hatched) creatures, your little guy is hungry. One problem: your new pet tends to eat, well, people.

You can rustle up some grub for your grub in either Uldum or the Vale:

I chose to kill hyenas just south of the Obelisk of the Stars. Once you get your 12 chunks, head back to your new friend:

Unfortunately, he's a picky little thing, and wants nothing to do with the food you've brought him.

So it looks like we'll have to try something else tomorrow.

Day 11 begins and ends with a new bar called Larva, and after the turn-in it'll be at 600 / 5000!

As I go back to do the daily each day, I'll update this article with new information.

However, it doesn't look like we're done there! As Quintessence, Sr. Content Manager for Warcraft Pets pointed out;

"...there's a mount with a similar name, [I'm] guessing it's going to be similar to the falcosaur quest chain (get a pet + raise it = get a mount)."

And here's the mount, the Shadowbarb Drone

I'm loving the matching looks for the pet & mount, and as said above, we'll update here as more information becomes available.

Well, that's all for now, so until next time: Happy Battling!

Big Changes Coming to Pet Battles

Earlier, there was a blue post on the Visions of N'Zoth & Pet Battle forums regarding some changes we'll be seeing in 8.3 and beyond. The EU link can be found here.

From Kaivax:

Hello pet battlers!

We’ve seen some discussion around pet battle changes coming in Visions of N’Zoth, and we’d like to discuss those, as well as changes we currently have planned for a future content update.

The Weather Outside is Fight-ful

Weather effects have always been intended to slightly change the rules of pet battles. Sandstorm is great against pets that do weaker attacks, Sunlight is great for healing abilities, and Cleansing Rain is great for aquatic abilities. However, Mudslide and Blizzard both fell by the wayside in terms of being impactful or rule-changing outcomes. So in Visions of N’Zoth, both of these weather effects are being updated with new added effects in addition to their existing effects:

Blizzard

Now also increases all elemental ability damage by 25%.

Mudslide

Now also increases all critical damage dealt by 25%.

To be really clear about the Mudslide change: Critical strikes usually hit for 150% of normal damage. Mudslide will now increase that to 175% of normal damage.

We’ve also been thinking for a while that we should add a new weather type to the game, so Visions of N’Zoth will also introduce a new weather type: Toxic Fumes. This deals Dragonkin damage to the current enemy pet and applies the Toxic Fumes weather effect.

Toxic Fumes

Increases the duration of all hostile damage over time effects by 1 round.

All pets are considered Poisoned while Toxic Fumes is active.

Max No More

In Visions of N’Zoth, all of the new outdoor pet battle World Quests in Uldum and Vale of Eternal Blossoms will scale their level to match the highest level pet currently slotted on your team, instead of always being a level 25 enemy pet. This will also be the case for Nazjatar and Mechagon – all of the pet battle World Quests there are being updated. You can check them all out with a team of three level 1 pets!

Stat Changes

In Visions of N’Zoth, we’re also changing how percent-damage reduction abilities stack with each other. Currently, if you’re fighting a pet like Unit 17 in Mechagon (a Boss pet that passively takes 50% less damage), and Unit 17 uses Crouch, Unit 17 becomes immune to damage because the two 50% damage reduction effects are added to each other. In Visions of N’Zoth, the plan is to cap damage reduction at -75%. Using Unit 17 as an example, while Crouch is active, it will take 75% reduced damage instead of 100% reduced damage. This will smooth out the challenge with some enemy bosses.

Please note that abilities like Dodge or Deflection will continue to avoid all damage. Those will not be impacted by this change.

What the Future Holds

In a future update, we’re targeting a number of balance changes we want to make, which will amount to lowering the effectiveness of some pets and strategies. Again, these changes will not be happening in Visions of N’Zoth, but we wanted to give you ample warning time that changes are coming. While we don’t have specific numbers or details to share right now, here are some examples of abilities that we’re going to take a close look at:

Black Claw and similar abilities that increase damage taken by a flat amount.

Hunting Party and similar abilities such as Flock.

The Shattered Defenses debuff effect from abilities such as Hunting Party or Flock.

Any large percent-damage-taken or percent-damage-dealt buffs or debuffs.

Twilight Meteorite and similar long-cooldown damage-splitting abilities.

The Jar of Smelly Liquid ability.

Hermit Crab

Of course that last one isn’t an ability, but Hermit Crab incorrectly has a higher stat budget than it should, and it will have its stats reduced to bring it in line with other similar pets.

A goal we have when making many new pet battle World Quests or encounters is to create puzzles that players can counter and “solve”-- ideally with the option to use a variety of pets and tools to do so. When a few pets have such strong synergies that they can deal massive damage in just a few rounds and almost trivially beat these enemies, it becomes problematic. Do we make new challenges only beatable by the highest damage combos, or do we make them generally solveable and therefore immediately smashed by massive damage?

We don’t want to ruin the feel of combination abilities, so we aren’t going to make Black Claw no longer interact with Hunting Party or Flock, but we want to make sure these abilities are dealing appropriate damage. And we want to make sure that secondary effects such as Shattered Defenses are being accounted for with regards to balance.

When we have further specifics, we will be sure to let you know.

In addition to the post above, Kaivax also responded to concerns regarding old content, and the potential ability nerfs:

19 November 19: We’ll do our best to make sure older Achievements are still able to be completed after the changes, even if that means we need to change some of the Tanaan Jungle, Argus, and Battle for Azeroth pet battle challenges to make them somewhat easier.

I think it’s also worth noting that the sample future changes I listed in the OP were the most-impactful examples we’ve thought of. I’m sure we’ll also take this opportunity to find pets/abilities/combos that we can buff at the same time.

What say you, pet community? Do you think this will be an overall good change for pet battles, or will it be more harmful than helpful?

Updated Pet Collection Viewer

I just updated the Pet Collection Viewer because Blizzard made changes to their armory connection that I and many other pages are using. There will be many more updates necessary to keep everything in working condition and ideally you should not notice any changes, perhaps even an improvement here or there :-)

This initial change has a few effects:

The collection viewer now imports all new pets as well, like Lil' Nefarian or the Anima Wyrmling

Character names with special characters in them like á, ê or the like are working again

Russian, Korean and Chinese collections can be imported as well now, yay!

On a downside, you can't export your collection to Excel from your user profile right now. Sorry! Working on it! Use the collection viewer instead for now please.

That's it! If anything isn't working, give Aranesh a poke :-)

World of Warcraft 15th Anniversary

Happy Birthday, World of Warcraft!

This year, WoW celebrates its 15th anniversary with an event that runs from:

November 5, 2019 – January 7, 2020 (The Americas)

November 6, 2019 – January 8, 2020 (Europe)

November 7, 2019 – January 9, 2020 (Asia)

There are a fair few goodies on the horizon for us, including three new mounts: Obsidian Warbreaker, Frostwolf Snarler, and the Stormpike Battle Ram.

The Obsidian Warbreaker's model was inspired by Deathwing, and will require completing special raids, collectively known as: Memories of Azeroth.

Chromie has separated the strands of time, allowing you to go back and relive epic raid encounters from Burning Crusade, Wrath of the Lich King, and Cataclysm. Each of these limited-time raids will feature three iconic bosses, and they’ll be available as their own wings through the Raid Finder.

To enter the raid, you need a minimum item level of 380. Players who complete all three wings will receive the achievement Memories of Fel, Frost and Fire which grants the Obsidian Worldbreaker.... - Blizzard News

The Stormpike Battle Ram & Frostwolf Snarler are lovely remodels of the previous mounts earned from the Alterac Valley battleground:

These mounts will be earned from the Alterac Valley of Olde battleground, and will require earning 200 Timewarped Badges from doing quests, and participating in said battleground.

And what is an anniversary event without an adorable new pet?

We talked about Lil' Nefarion in a previous post here, and from the Blizzard News site we know this pet will be part of the login anniversary gift:

Get ready to celebrate 15 years of World of Warcraft in style! Everyone who logs in during the event period will receive an Anniversary Gift in the mail, which includes a Lil’ Nefarian battle pet, a Celebration Package that increases experience and reputation gains throughout the event, a reusable firework that can be used for the duration of the event, an item that teleports you to the Caverns of Time (usable only during the event), and other in-game goodies.

So, even if you're not logging in regularly, don't forget to do so before your region's respective end dates, because after that this pet, (and the mounts), will be unobtainable.

There are also a handful of items being sold in the Caverns of Time, some of which are from previous anniversaries:

Historian Ma'di

Exquisite Costume Set: "Edwin VanCleef" -- WoW's 11th Anniversary

Bronze-Tinted Sunglasses -- WoW's 13th Anniversary

Inflatable Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker -- WoW's 11th Anniversary (Yes, we said it)

Overtuned Corgi Goggles -- WoW's 14th Anniversary

Corgi Pup -- This pet first appeared during the 12th Anniversary event, and is only purchasable during a WoW Anniversary

Tranquil Mechanical Yeti Costume -- Only purchasable during a WoW Anniversary

Celebration Wand Gnoll & Murloc -- WoW's 11th Anniversary

Celebration Wand Quilboar & Trogg -- WoW's 13th Anniversary

Persnip Goodup

Blue Anniversary Balloons

Red Anniversary Balloons

Sharpened Pin

Waiter <Food & Drink>

Sugary Soul Shard -- Turns you into a purple, spectral version of your character, and changes the sky for 5 minutes

Ookerdooker Elixir -- Turns you into a skeletal monkey for 10 minutes

Spellstone Delight -- Increases movement speed by 100% for 30 seconds

Leeroy Jenkins

Leeroy's Spicy Fried Chicken

Once again, we wish WoW a very happy birthday, and hope for many more in the coming years!

Happy Battling, everyone!

Shadowland's Pre-Order & Charity Pets

Another Blizzcon has come and gone, and a great many exciting announcements have been made. For the pet community, this included two new pets: the Anima Wyrmling & Dottie!

Anima Wyrmling

The Anima Wyrmling is the pet players will receive as part of the World of Warcraft: Shadowlands pre-order in the 'Epic Edition', or the highest tier of pre-order.

Family: Dragonkin
Health: 1424
Speed: 273
Power: 301

Abilities:

Slot 1: Siphon Life / Gale Slash

Slot 2: Amplify Magic / Arcane Storm

Slot 3: Portal / Phase Shift

Dottie

Dottie the baby alpaca will be this year's charity pet, and her sales will contribute to two charities: Make-A-Wish Foundation & WE.org

Though we don't know any of Dottie's particulars, like her abilities or family (Probably Critter, maybe Beast), we do know from Jeremy Feasel, a.k.a. Muffinus, that she has an adorable animation where she bounces in a circle.

Hopefully they'll continue the pet & plushie trend, that way we can add an adorable alpaca in-game and IRL.

On top of that, we got a glimpse into some of the Shadowlands zones and Covenants, and there are exciting new models that could translate very well into pets for us in the next expansion. Only time will tell, but I'm looking forward to what Shadowlands will bring to us pet-wise.

Well, that's all for now! We hope you all had a great Blizzcon, either in Anaheim or from the comfort of your home, and until next time: Happy Battling!

Day of the Dead - Nov. 1st - 2nd

The scent of marigold hangs heavy in the cool air, while laughter, music, and weeping intermingle amidst the headstones. You place the sturdy, white candle on top of the newly carved gravestone in front of you, then light the wick. The flame stutters to life, and then stills, unwavering. The aroma of freshly baked bread makes your mouth water, as you pull the skull-shaped loaf from your pack, and then place it gingerly next to the candle.

Now you wait.

It’s not long before a familiar, whispering voice surrounds you, and the lightest brush on your shoulder sends goosebumps along your skin. The candle flickers in a breeze that’s not there, and when you look up you’re greeted by a smiling face. You can’t help the sting of tears in your eyes, but you give them a smile in return.

“Hello, friend.”

Happy Day of the Dead!

The veil has thinned, and it’s that time of year to visit your city’s graveyard to honor and celebrate those who have departed the world of the living. On Azeroth, Day of the Dead is a micro holiday that comes at the tail end of Hallow’s End, and offers us one pretty cool pet: Macabre Marionette.

Armed with his maracas, sombrero*, and killer dance moves, this skeletal puppet is said to be animated by the spirits of our dearly departed.

One of the reasons this pet is fantastic to add to your collection, is because it has humanoid attacks, which are strong against dragonkin pets. With the pet being undead, it takes reduced damage from dragonkin attacks. Combine your Macabre Maraca with Shattered Defenses from Dead Man’s Party, and dragonkin enemies stand little chance of survival.

There is a quest chain to get this pet, which is only available during the Day of the Dead holiday, and it can be done once per character. This pet is also cageable, so if you’re not interested in doing the quest, pop on over to your local auction house!

How to Get Your Macabre Marionette

1 – Log in during the Day of the Dead event Nov. 1 & 2. The calendar indicates that the event runs until server reset on the 3rd, but we advise doing it on the 1st or 2nd in case anything goes sideways with the reset.

2 – Head to your race’s capital city:

Orgrimmar: Orc, Troll, Goblin

Stormwind: Human

Exodar: Draenei

Silvermoon: Blood Elf

Ironforge: Dwarf, Gnome

Thunder Bluff: Tauren

Darnassus (Phased): Night Elf, Worgen

Undercity (Phased): Undead

Dalaran (Northrend), Dalaran (Legion), Shattrath: Pandaren / Allied Races / Any Race or Faction

I can’t verify where all the allied races would go, but from what I’ve seen in the comments it looks like the Nightborne can go to the Silvermoon City graveyard. However, either of the Dalarans or Shattrath consider the allied races as part of their ‘any race’. If you’ve done this chain on an allied race outside of the Dalaran(s)/Shattrath graveyards, let me know which one you went to, and I’ll update the article!

3 – Purchase at least one of each: Simple Flour (Cooking Supply Vendor) & Ice Cold Milk (Beverage Vendors or Innkeepers). Also while in the capital, if you haven’t learned the cooking skill yet you’ll need at least a skill of 1 for the Bread of the Dead recipe, so train that before you leave!

4 – Head to the graveyard of your city

Dalaran (Northrend / Legion): The grassy area between the Violet Citadel and the Magus Commerce Exchange, near an entrance to the Underbelly.

Shattrath: Located in Terokkar Forest, directly between Shattrath City and the house beneath the words Cenarion Thicket on the map.

Orgrimmar: Go out the front gates of Orgrimmar, and take the second, short ‘road’ on the left. The graveyard is near a small pond.

Undercity: In the Ruins of Lordaeron above Undercity. It’ll be in the same area as the Hallow’s End NPCs.

Thunder Bluff: Northern side of the middle rise, in an area just below the elevators.

Silvermoon City: Head out of Silvermoon City to the flight master, and fly over to Falconwing Square. Head south out of the entrance to Falconwing Square and it should be just to the left of the entrance. Or, you can just head out of Silvermoon and ride toward Falconwing past the Dead Scar. The graveyard is just before you get to Falconwing Square.

Stormwind: Head out the gates of Stormwind and follow the road toward Goldshire, and the cemetery will be on the right, north of the pond before you get to Goldshire.

Ironforge: Go out the gates of Ironforge, and cut directly left. The graveyard is at the end of a small path that hugs the side of the mountain.

Darnassus: If you look at your map of Darnassus in mini mode, the graveyard will be located directly between the two Rs in Warrior’s and the two Rs in Terrace, (Warrior’s Terrace). If your map is in its large form, it sits between the RI in Warrior’s, and the RA in Terrace.

Exodar: Head out to Azure’s Watch on the Azuremyst Isle, and the graveyard is south of Azure’s Watch, right near the sign post.

5 – Use the emote /dance with the NPC Catrina for a super easy achievement. Purchase the Bread of the Dead recipe from Chapman, the male vendor near Catrina, as well as either an Orange Marigold, or a Bouquet of Orange Marigolds. The recipe requires a cooking skill of 1.

6 – Learn the recipe and cook the Bread of the Dead.

7 – Use your Orange Marigold or Bouquet of Orange Marigolds in the graveyard. Remember! The buff to see the dead from the Marigold items only lasts 30 seconds, so be prepared to accept the quest and turn it in quickly!

8 – You should now be able to see a ghost, Cheerful (insert city name here) Spirit, that offers the quest The Grateful Dead.

9 – Accept the quest and turn it in immediately. You’ve already made your bread, so you should be good to go!

10 – Congratulations! You now have your Macabre Marionette!

We wish you all a Feliz Día de los Muertos, and until next time: Happy Battling!

* Unfortunately, the Macabre Marionette's sombrero has been clipping through his skull for quite sometime. Hopefully Blizzard will get around to fixing it some day!

Feast of Winter Veil

PET NEWS - BY DRAGONSAFTERDARK

2019-12-15 08:06:00

The days have gotten shorter since leaving midsummer behind, and the cold weather has driven all but the most resilient—or fur-covered—indoors. Fires crackle merrily in their hearths, and the children of Azeroth are counting the minutes until Great Father Winter leaves presents beneath the tree.

While in the capital doing some last-minute shopping, laughter and cheering catches your attention. You turn to find a cadre of people hauling in the giant Winter Veil tree, as children skip and run around the wagon, shouting encouragement.

Their enthusiasm is contagious, and a smile pulls at the corner of your mouth before you turn to complete your purchase.

“It’s always been my favorite time of the year,” the merchant says, and then with a wink places a small package on top of your other items. “Merry Winter Veil.”

You pay the merchant, (perhaps a few extra coins find their way into his hand), and thank him for his generosity. Later, as you sit in the tavern to enjoy a nice hot drink, you open the package to find a small stack of homemade gingerbread cookies. The gift warms you in ways the drink couldn’t manage. As you munch on the cookies, you realize you’re rather looking forward to giving those closest to you their gifts, collected from the various lands you’d traveled to and from.

“Merry Winter Veil, indeed,” you say with a smile.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year on Azeroth! The Feast of Winter Veil is upon us, and with the holiday comes nine holiday-exclusive pets, most of which are fairly easy to obtain. So, let’s string up some lights, jingle the bells, sing some carols, and get those pets!

Gaily Wrapped Present

When you wake up on the 25th and open the presents beneath the Winter Veil Tree, the one you’re looking for with the pets will be the Gaily Wrapped Present. This has a chance to contain one of four pets: Father Winter’s Helper, Tiny Snowman, Winter Reindeer, & Winter’s Little Helper.

However, if you open all your Gaily Wrapped Presents on all your characters level 20+ and you don’t manage to nab one of the ones you need, all these pets are cageable! If you missed out, just head over to the Auction House. Most of the pets are rather cheap, especially after the 25th.

Stolen Present

This present is a reward from the Winter Veil Daily: You’re a Mean One… The Alliance version of this daily will come from Wulmort Jinglepocket in Ironforge, and for the Horde it’s Kaymard Kopperpinch in Orgrimmar. The NPCs will be near their city’s bank.

What’s interesting, is there are three holiday-exclusive pets, but also an additional pet that can drop or be purchased from a vendor.

The three holiday-exclusive ones are: Clockwork Rocket Bot, Lumpy, & Rotten Little Helper.

The one that can be obtained from the holiday, or a variety of vendors found here, is: Blue Clockwork Rocket Bot.

Again, if you do your dailies on all eligible characters and don’t manage to get the pets, all four of the above are cageable. However, keep in mind the three holiday-exclusive ones tend to be rarer, and might be more expensive than those in the Gaily Wrapped Present, depending on your server.

Grumpling

For this pet, you’ll need to head out to Frostfire Ridge! There are four Winter Veil dailies offered by NPCs in your garrison, and in the same area as the dailies you’ll find Snow Mounds. Looting these snow mounds will get you the pet. Easy as!

The location of the snow mounds can be found on this Wowhead page here, or just pick up the quests and it’ll give you a good idea of where to go. That said, the area is kind of between Daggermaw Ravine and the Bloodmaul Slag Mines flightpath.

However, this pet is also cageable, and can likely be found on your Auction House.

Globe Yeti

This pet may be the trickiest of the lot.

This little guy only spawns one at a time, inside the giant snow globes in Ironforge and Orgrimmar.

He seems to be on roughly a 30 minute respawn timer.

But most importantly? He is a LEVEL 1 pet.

If you go into the battle with a team of 25s, you’ll murderize him. Your best bet is bringing a pet that has an ability that won’t reduce the Yeti below 1 hp, like Superbark or Weakening Blow.

This pet is the only Winter Veil pet that is NOT cageable.

And that’s it! Congratulations on all your fantastically festive pets!

To all the pet battling denizens across Azeroth, we at Xu-Fu’s would like to wish you a Merry Winter Veil, and until next time: Happy Battling!

Pilgrim's Bounty

PET NEWS - BY DRAGONSAFTERDARK

2019-11-25 05:31:09

Tables groan beneath the weight of a variety of dishes, and boisterous conversation fills the air over many a tankard of drink. Stories of glory and thanks are traded like precious gold, as friends new and old take their seats. Every cook and kitchen within the capital cities tirelessly churn out platter upon platter of food, as the citizens of Azeroth make the pilgrimage from far and wide to celebrate the week of Pilgrim’s Bounty.

Just as you lean forward to take the first bite of your favorite dish, something warm lands on your head. As the conversation at your table quiets, a substance that looks suspiciously like candied sweet potatoes runs down and lands on your plate. When you look up at the person across from you, you’re met with mischievous eyes and a barely suppressed grin. You bare your teeth in return, and then grab a handful of cranberry chutney as you utter a cry of; “Food fight!”

It’s Pilgrim’s Bounty week on Azeroth, and it’s, ‘…a time to reflect upon one’s good fortune and share with all around you’. It’s one of the major holidays celebrated in-game, and it runs for just under seven full days.

2019: 11/25 10:00 a.m. – 12/02 09:00 a.m.

It is also a required holiday for the meta achievement: What a Long, Strange Trip It’s Been.

As for pets, Pilgrim’s Bounty offers two: Bush Chicken & Plump Turkey. Below, we’ll detail how you can get these two holiday pets, and add these delicious—I mean adorable!—pets to your roster.

Bush Chicken

"Following their introduction to the mainland by the goblins, Bush Chickens have become the entre du jour for Pilgrim's Bounty due to their high deliciousness and low intelligence.

The Bush Chicken is the easiest to get of the two. This pet is cageable, so one of the ways is to purchase one off the Auction House.

The other way is to complete the dailies for Pilgrim’s Bounty:

Can’t Get Enough Turkey

Easy as Pie

She Says Potato

Don’t Forget the Stuffing!

We’re Out of Cranberry Chutney Again?

Each daily will require 20 of each food item.

These dailies reward an item called Pilgrim’s Bounty, and it’ll be filled with seasonal fare for the holiday. Among these items is the Frightened Bush Chicken, which will, of course, teach you the pet. Wowhead reports there’s about a 3% chance for the pet to drop.

If you’re looking to complete everything for the holiday, your best bet is to do the dailies every day, and if you don’t manage to get the drop you can purchase the pet off the AH. By the end of the holiday, the market has usually flooded with the holiday pets, so the prices should see a nice drop at that point.

Plump Turkey

He's humble, clairvoyant, and delicious with cranberry sauce.

The Plump Turkey is the more time-consuming of the two, since it’s one of the rewards for the meta achievement for the holiday: Pilgrim.

This pet is not tradeable, and is unique, therefore you can only learn one.

There are 9 sub-achievements for the meta achievement, and we’ll tell you how you can complete each one. It may seem a touch daunting, but most of them are fairly easy, so never fear!

Sharing is Caring, “FOOD FIGHT!”, & Pilgrim’s Paunch

These achievements are generally the easiest of the lot, and you can complete them as you make the rounds to all the capital cities doing your cooking dailies & quests. For Horde, this means starting in Undercity, and for Alliance it’ll be Stormwind.

However, none of the dailies send you out to the 4th capital needed by each faction: Silvermoon City & The Exodar. So, once you complete your cooking dailies & quests, head out to these capitals to finish Pilgrim’s Paunch.

Sharing is Caring & “FOOD FIGHT!” can be completed at about the same time, as long as there’s another player at the table with you. When you sit down, you’ll get a special interface bar, like when you’re in a vehicle, and it’ll give you the option to eat or share. If other food has been passed to that chair, it’ll be an option to eat that food, too.

For Sharing is Caring, all you have to do is share each dish (5) found at the table with another chair, doesn’t matter which one. Simple as that. If you’re looking to get the “FOOD FIGHT!” achievement, target a player/chair, and share the food until you get the achievement. It’s that simple! However, a player does need to be in the chair.

For Pilgrim’s Paunch, you need to eat 5 stacks of food from each chair to gain the Spirit of Sharing buff, and do this at all four of your faction's listed capitals.

If there aren’t any people around, I tend to pass all the food to one chair, and sit at that one to make getting your Spirit of Sharing quest a little easier. If there are people around, your best bet is to just sit at each chair individually.

Now We’re Cookin’ & Pilgrim’s Progress

These achievements require you to have a cooking skill of at least 280 in your Old World Recipes section to cook ALL the recipes, but fear not! This holiday is generally used by people to level their alts’ cooking skills, because each recipe you’re given will have enough points to get you to the next one.

There will be some traveling required to purchase ingredients, but the quest chain will lead you to each subsequent city. For the non-daily quests, make sure you have the quest before you cook the items. The dailies don’t have the cooking as part of the quest completion, but the non-dailies do.

Your dailies were mentioned in the Bush Chicken section above. The non-daily quests will send you to each capital city, in the order of the recipes that will progress you through your cooking skill. For Horde, you’ll start off in the Ruins of Lordaeron (Phased), and for Alliance it’ll be outside the gates of Stormwind.

Once you’ve picked up your cooking skill, or if you already have it, you’ll need to at least learn the Spice Bread recipe from the cooking trainer. After that, find a Pilgrim’s Bounty vendor, generally located near the Pilgrim’s Bounty tables outside the capital cities, and purchase a Bountiful Cookbook for 1 silver. This cookbook will contain all the recipes you need for this holiday:

Spice Bread Stuffing – Cooking Skill 1

Pumpkin Pie – Cooking Skill 100

Cranberry Chutney – Cooking Skill 160

Candied Sweet Potatoes – Cooking Skill 220

Slow-Roasted Turkey – Cooking Skill 280

Part One

For Spice Bread Stuffing, you’ll need the Spice Bread recipe and Autumnal Herbs. The herbs can be purchased from the Pilgrim’s Bounty Vendor.

Once you’ve learned this recipe, be sure to pick up the Spice Bread Stuffing quest. For Horde, this will come from Miles Standish (Undercity, Phased), and for the Alliance it’ll be from Gregory Tabor (Stormwind).

Now that you have the quest and you’ve learned the Spice Bread Stuffing recipe, you’ll need to make at least 30 of these for the first day, (20 for the daily & 10 for two different non-daily quests).

If your cooking skill is at 1, make as many as it’ll take for you to learn your next recipe: Pumpkin Pie (Cooking 100).

Now you can turn in your Spice Bread Stuffing quest. For the Horde, you’ll turn it in to William Mullins, and for Alliance it’ll be Jasper Moore. These NPCs will give you your next quest: Pumpkin Pie.

But don’t go anywhere yet!

You’ll need to purchase your Ripe Tirisfal Pumpkins from your Undercity bountiful vendor, and Ripe Elwynn Pumpkins from your Stormwind vendor. Honey can be bought off any of the vendors, but you might as well buy that while you’re here, too. You need 1 Pumpkin & 1 Honey for each Pumpkin Pie.

If your cooking skill is already maxed, you’ll need 25 Pumpkin Pies for the day. (20 Daily & 5 Non-Daily)

If your cooking skill is at 100, you’ll need to get to at least 160 for the next quest. If this is the case, I’d recommend sitting at the Stormwind/Undercity area, and making Pumpkin Pie until you hit 160 after you’ve picked up the Pumpkin Pie quest.

NOTE for ALLIANCE PLAYERS: If you already have your Old World cooking skill at 280+, head out to Elwynn Forest and hunt 25 Wild Turkeys now. Cook them up with the Slow-roasted Turkey recipe. It’ll save you the extra trip to Ironforge at the end.

With that done, Horde will need to head to Orgrimmar, and Alliance will head to Ironforge.

Part Two

Once you get to the next city, you’ll turn in your Pumpkin Pie quest and pick up Cranberry Chutney. Horde’s turn in will be with Francis Eaton, and Alliance it will be Edward Winslow.

You also need to make sure you pick up and turn in your Don’t Forget the Stuffing! daily while in these cities. For Horde this will come from Ondani Greatmill, and for Alliance it will be Caitrin Ironkettle.

You can pick up your Can’t Get Enough Turkey quests from these NPCs, too, but we’re not quite to the turkey yet. The exception here is the Alliance players who have already hunted & cooked their turkeys to save a trip.

Once you’ve picked up your Cranberry Chutney quest, find the Pilgrim’s Bounty vendor and purchase your Tangy Southfury/Wetlands Cranberries. You need 1 Tangy Cranberry & 1 Honey for each Chutney.

If your cooking skill is already maxed, you’ll need 30 Cranberry Chutney for the day. (20 Daily & 10 Non-Daily for two quests)

If your cooking skill is at 160, you’ll need to get it to at least 220 for the next quest. So, as before, sit at the vendor and make as many Cranberry Chutney as it takes to get to 220 after you’ve picked up the Cranberry Chutney quest.

With that completed, Horde will be heading to Thunder Bluff, and Alliance will go back to Stormwind.

Part Three

Once you’re in the next capital city, turn in your Cranberry Chutney quest. This is where the next quest somewhat diverges for the factions.

Horde

You’ll turn in your quest to Dokin Farplain, and pick up the Candied Sweet Potatoes quest. You’ll need to purchase Mulgore Sweet Potatoes, Honey, & Autumnal Herbs from the Pilgrim’s Bounty Vendor there.

If your cooking skill is maxed, you’ll need to make 25 Candied Sweet Potatoes for the day. (20 Daily & 5 Non-Daily)

If your cooking skill is at 220, you’ll need to get to 280 for the next recipe. So, as before, sit at the vendor and make as many Candied Sweet Potatoes as it takes to get to 280 after you’ve picked up the Candied Sweet Potatoes quest.

Also, don’t forget to pick up and turn in your Easy as Pie daily from the NPC Mahara Goldwheat.

From here, you’ll head to Orgrimmar.

Alliance

You’ll turn in your quest to Edward Winslow, and pick up the They’re Ravenous in Darnassus quest. This will require 5 Spiced Bread Stuffing and 5 Pumpkin Pie. You should already have these in your bags from cooking earlier.

Don’t forget to pick up and turn in your We’re Out of Cranberry Chutney Again? Daily from the NPC Ellen Moore.

Now, head to Darnassus (Phased).

Part Four

Horde

You’ll be heading to Francis Eaton once again, and turning in your Candied Sweet Potatoes quest. You’ll then pick up your quest Undersupplied in the Undercity. This will require 5 Spiced Bread Stuffing and 5 Pumpkin Pie. You should already have these in your bags from earlier, so head over to the Undercity.

Alliance

Once in Darnassus, you’ll turn in your quest in to Isaac Allerton, and pick up Candied Sweet Potatoes. You’ll need to purchase Teldrassil Sweet Potatoes, Honey, & Autumnal Herbs from the Pilgrim’s Bounty Vendor there.

If your cooking skill is maxed, you’ll need to make 25 Candied Sweet Potatoes for the day. (20 Daily & 5 Non-Daily)

If your cooking skill is at 220, you’ll need to get to 280 for the next recipe. So, as before, sit at the vendor and make as many Candied Sweet Potatoes as it takes to get to 280 after you’ve picked up the Candied Sweet Potatoes quest.

While here, don’t forget to pick up and turn in your Easy as Pie daily from the NPC Mary Allerton.

Now head back to Stormwind, again.

Part Five

Horde

Once in Undercity, there are a few things you need to do:

Turn In: Undersupplied in the Undercity

Pick Up: Slow-roasted Turkey

Pick Up & Turn In: We’re Out of Cranberry Chutney Again? With NPC Roberta Carter

Pick Up & Turn In: She Says Potato with NPC William Mullins

And now, we hunt…Turkey.

Head out into Tirisfal Glades. If you look around, you’ll see some Wild Turkeys strutting about. You can try to combine your farm of these delicious fowl with the achievement The Turkinator, but I wouldn’t recommend doing that during peak play hours.

For the cooking, you’ll just need to kill and loot 25 for today, and 20 each day after for the dailies.

Once you have your 25, and your Slow-roasted Turkey quest, cook them up. Then, head back to Orgrimmar.

Alliance

Once in Stormwind, you’ll need to:

Turn In: Candied Sweet Potatoes

Pick Up: Slow-roasted Turkey

Pick Up & Turn In: She Says Potato with NPC Jasper Moore

And now, we hunt…Turkey.

Head out into Elwynn Forest. If you look around, you’ll see some Wild Turkeys strutting about. You can try to combine your farm of these delicious fowl with the achievement The Turkinator, but I wouldn’t recommend doing that during peak play hours.

For the cooking, you’ll just need to kill and loot 25 for today, and 20 each day after for the dailies.

Once you have your 25, and your Slow-roasted Turkey quest, cook them up. Then, head back to Darnassus.

At this point, both of the factions should have earned the Now We’re Cookin’ achievement—grats!

Part Six

Horde

You’ll be turning your final quest in to Francis Eaton. Then, head over to Ondani Greatmill to pick up & turn in the Can’t Get Enough Turkey daily.

For Horde characters, this completes your achievement Pilgrim’s Progress—congrats! You’re free to move on to the other achievements now.

Alliance

You still have some travelling to do. Your quest Slow-roasted Turkey will be turned in to Isaac Allerton in Darnassus.

Then, you’ll need to head back over to Ironforge to pick up and turn in the Can’t Get Enough Turkey daily if you haven’t already.

Now you’ve completed your achievement Pilgrim’s Promise—congrats! You’re free to move on to the other achievements now.

And then there were four…achievements left.

Terokkar Turkey Time

For this achievement, you need to have a Pilgrim’s Hat, and either a Pilgrim’s Dress, Robe, or Attire.

These items drop from the Pilgrim’s Bounty item received from completing Pilgrim’s Bounty cooking dailies.

Once you have these items, it’s just a matter of going to Sethekk Halls and killing Talon King Ikiss while wearing the above clothing. Remember, it needs to be the hat AND the chest piece.

You need to be at least level 63 (current level scaling) to enter the dungeon on normal.

For those who are well above Outland-level dungeons, head in on heroic mode and you’ll have a chance at the Raven Lord mount. This mount only drops on heroic mode from the boss Anzu.

Pilgrim’s Peril

Once you have a Pilgrim’s Dress, Robe, or Attire, you can head to the capital cities of your opposite faction enemies, and take a seat at their tables.

These items drop from the Pilgrim’s Bounty item received from completing Pilgrim’s Bounty cooking dailies.

For Horde:

Darnassus (Phased)

The Exodar

Ironforge

Stormwind

For Alliance:

Orgrimmar

Silvermoon City

Thunder Bluff

Undercity (Phased)

All the tables will be ‘outside’ the respective cities.

For Darnassus you have to go through the city to the clear area between the Warrior’s Terrace and the Tradesman’s Terrace.

For the Exodar, you’ll need to take the portal at Rut’theran Village from the western dock.

For Undercity, it’ll be in the Ruins of Lordaeron.

Turkey Lurkey

For this, you need to blast a rogue of each race, except Pandaren and Allied Races, with your Turkey Shooter.

These items drop from the Pilgrim’s Bounty item received from completing Pilgrim’s Bounty cooking dailies. You also have the chance to receive the Silver-Plated Turkey Shooter as a toy, which will not be consumed on use like the Turkey Shooter.

DO NOT shoot a rogue who is already a turkey – it won’t count.

DO NOT shoot a rogue who is in a ‘vehicle’ type mount – it won’t count.

This achievement is obviously easier in expansions where we share a main hub, like Dalaran or Shattrath, and somewhat more difficult during expansions where we’re separate. Your best bet will still be the shared capitals.

The Turkinator

This will probably be the most difficult achievement of the lot. Not because killing turkeys is difficult, but because killing the spaced apart turkeys while everyone else is killing spaced apart turkeys can cause a person to /head desk. There were more than a few occasions where I was thwarted at 38 or 39 killed.

Essentially, you need to kill 40 Wild Turkeys within 30 seconds of each other, and achieve Turkey Triumph. For Horde this will be in Tirisfal Glades, and for the Alliance it will be in Elwynn Forest.

If you look up the achievement on Wowhead, there are plenty of scripts in the comment section you can put in Macros of your Game Menu to help out with this. The one in particular I use is this:

/tar Wild Turkey
/script if (charm == nil) or (charm < 6) then charm=9; end; charm=charm-1; if (charm==6) then SetRaidTarget("target", 0) else SetRaidTarget("target", charm); end

If you have a favorite turkey murdering macro, feel free to post it in the comments!

And that’s everything! If you’ve made it to the end and managed to get all the achievements, you should now be a proud owner of a Plump Turkey and likely a Bush Chicken. Congratulations!

From all of us at Xu-Fu’s to all the pet battling denizens of Azeroth, we’re thankful for everyone who works to make this page the best source for pet battle strategies, and we wish you a Happy Pilgrim’s Bounty!

8.3 PTR Pet Updates: 21 Nov. 19

PET NEWS - BY DRAGONSAFTERDARK

2019-11-22 08:54:00

It’s been quite a turbulent week for pet battlers, as news from Kaivax, Community Manager on the forums, told us there were going to be some big changes coming for us! Though it’s debatable on whether players are seeing these changes as good, or not, it was encouraging to see some attention being paid to the pet battle system. In a continuation of this, the new PTR build that went live today brought:

A look at the new charity pet

Changes to the BRD pet dungeon

What looks to be the finalization of pet ability sets

A new pet toy

New Charity Pet!

It’s the moment many of us have been waiting for, ever since seeing her large and in-charge at Blizzcon: Dottie!

Don’t be fooled by Dottie’s soft coat and big eyes, her tiny, sharp teeth are for more than just munching on grass.

We should be seeing her released some time in December--just in time for the holiday season. So, treat yourself, and/or a fellow pet battler, to this adorable baby alpaca!

Blackrock Depths Pet Dungeon Changes

The changes to the dungeon are being tracked on the main article here. All the tamer fights have seen at least one stat change to each of their pets, while the single pet fights have seen a reduction in enemy HP.

This should enable strategy creators to make more stable, and less RNG-dependent strategies.

8.3 Pets!

If you include Dottie, we’re looking at 33 new pets in patch 8.3 as of this build. All the pets seem to have their abilities and sources in order, and a few of the stragglers have had their abilities fleshed out, like Anomalus, C’Thuffer, & Reek.

If you’ve missed the other articles, here’s where the pets will drop from, and what they look like:

Visions

Stormwind or Orgrimmar

Anomalus – Drops from either Alleria's or Thrall’s Corrupted Chest

Orgrimmar

C’Thuffer – Rexxar’s Corrupted Chest

Void-Scarred Hare – Umbric’s Corrupted Chest

Void-Scarred Pup – Thrall’s Corrupted Chest

Void-Scarred Toad – Zekhan’s Corrupted Chest

Stormwind

Void-Scarred Cat – Alleria’s Corrupted Chest

Void-Scarred Rat – Kelsey’s Corrupted Chest

Vision of the Twisting Sands Creatures

Void-Scarred Beetle

This seems to be a drop from various creatures found in the Visions.

Zone: Uldum

Drops

Aqir Tunneler -- Drop: Skikx’traz (Say that one five times fast)

Cursed Dune Watcher -- Drop: Uldum Accord Supplies. This pet is a drop from the paragon chest for the Uldum Accord faction.

Rotbreath – Lord Aj’qirai

Wicked Lurker – Amalgamation of Flesh

Vendor

Pygmy Camel -- Provisioner Qorra

This pet costs 300 Polished Pet Charms, and requires Revered reputation with the Uldum Accord

Pet Battles

Oasis Void-Duster

Void-Scarred Locust

Zone: Vale of Eternal Blossoms

Drops

Corrupted Tentacle -- Drop: Will of N’Zoth

Jade Defender -- Rajani Supplies. This pet is a drop from the paragon chest for the Rajani faction.

K’uddly -- Drop: The Forgotten

Vendor

Windfeather Chick – Zhang Ku

This pet costs 300 Polished Pet Charms, and requires Exalted reputation with the Rajani.

Pet Battles

Golden Chirper

Voidglower

Voidskimmer

Profession

Fishing

Gloop

Corrupted Uldum or Vale of Eternal Blossoms. Unsure at the moment if this will come from the fishing pools, or any body of water within a corrupted zone.

Achievement

There is a meta achievement called, ‘Reeking of Visions,’ that the pet, Reek, is a reward for.

Reeking of Visions is the meta achievement:

And these are the two achievements you need to complete it:

Ny’alotha, the Waking City

Aqir Hivespawn -- Drop: Tek’ris

Eye of Corruption -- Drop: N’Zoth the Corruptor

Muar -- Drop: Maut

Ra’kim -- Drop: Tek’ris along with the Aqir Hivespawn

Void-Scarred Anubisath – Drop: Ra-den the Despoiled

Blackrock Depths – New Pet Dungeon Pets

All the pets below will come from the vendor Burt Macklyn, who uses Shadowy Gems as currency.

Experiment 13 -- Cost: 3 Shadowy Gems

Tiny Claw -- Cost: 2 Shadowy Gems

Wailing Lasher -- Cost: 1 Shadowy Gem

New Abilities!

These are the new abilities we’ll be seeing in 8.3, so far:

Contagion Strike

Jade Barrier

Locust Swarm

Mega Jolt

Overcharge

Toxic Fumes

Void Crash

Void Cyclone

Void Nova

Void Slap

Void Tremors

New Pet Toy!

We’ve also seen a new pet toy show up as purchasable for our toybox.

Pet-wise, things seem to have found their even keel, at least for the time being.

Are there any pets and/or abilities you’re looking forward to trying out in 8.3?

Well, that’s everything for now, so until next time: Happy Battling!

New Pet Battle WQs in 8.3!

PET NEWS - BY DRAGONSAFTERDARK

2019-11-11 06:04:39

It seems as though a new pet dungeon isn't all we'll be getting in 8.3--we'll be getting some new WQs in the corrupted zones, too!

New Blackrock Depths Pet Dungeon!

PET NEWS - BY DRAGONSAFTERDARK

2019-11-09 05:33:30

You've battled your way through multiple pet dungeons, against a wide variety of foes, and you've been victorious. However, in the beginning of your journey you couldn't help but notice there was something not quite right with the enemy pets, as though they'd somehow been changed. Then, your suspicions were confirmed in Gnomeregan, as you encountered sinister figures cloaked in shadows. Now you've cornered them in Blackrock Depths, and you'll finally get to see what these fiendish villains have been plotting...and building.

Welcome to a look at the new pet dungeon: Blackrock Depths! This is a 9-stage pet dungeon, and there doesn’t seem to be much walking inside this one. Rejoice!

That said, if you’d like to try your hand at this, you’ll need to download the PTR, and copy your account data and character. After that, find Radek Fuselock (Horde) or Tizzy Gearjolt (Alliance) to pick up the breadcrumb quest: Shadowy Showdown

Once you’ve picked it up, you’ll need to head over to Blackrock Mountain. Blackrock Mountain can be accessed from either Searing Gorge or Burning Steppes. Once inside, find the chain that connects downward toward the lava, and has two doorways.

Take the doorway without the elf, and cut left toward the Grinding Quarry. Once inside, your map changes, and you should be able to see the entrance to Blackrock Depths.

The NPC you’re meeting—Burt Macklin, not Sean Wilkers as the quest indicates—is just before the entrance to the BRD dungeon, and to the left. His text reads:

“My superior investigation techniques have followed these shadowy figures just inside. Another massive case solved, just days before I retire. Checkmate, bad guys.”

When you hand in Shadowy Showdown, he says; “These Shadowy Figures have been an annoyance for too long now. Get in there, and stop them.”

You then need to accept the quest: Shadows of Blackrock. Once you accept, head on in!

Our BRD strategies page can be found here.

The information below is obtained from the PTR, which means it has the potential to change. Information will be updated as new builds come in, and will be finalized once the patch goes live.

Stage 1: Enter the Arena

Walk your character into the arena area ahead of you.

Stage 2: The First Challenger

Achievements & Rewards

The Shadows Revealed is the meta achievement for the completion of all the pet dungeons, minus the Celestial Tournament.

The rewards for these achievements will be two toys: Shadowy Disguise & Mayhem Mind Melder.

The Shadowy Disguise is the reward for the BRD Challenge version of the dungeon, and the MMM is the reward for the meta achievement. The disguise will give you the same look as the shadowy figures from Gnomeregan & Stratholme pet dungeons.

Pets for Shadowy Gem Currency

There are three pets available for purchase with this dungeon currency:

Wailing Lasher - 1 Shadowy Gem

Tiny Claw - 2 Shadowy Gems

Experiment 13 - 3 Shadowy Gems

As per usual, there is also a supply crate for purchase with one shadowy gem.

And that’s everything! Best of luck to you all, and happy battling!

8.3 PTR Pet Updates: 8 Nov. 19

PET NEWS - BY DRAGONSAFTERDARK

2019-11-08 09:16:44

Yesterday, the PTR was taken down for a wipe, as well as a new build. And guess what? We finally have access to the new pet dungeon: Blackrock Depths! There were also updates to pets we’d previously seen, as well as some new ones joining the pet journal.

In this post, we’ll be showing you all the pet updates, and once we’ve made it through the pet dungeon, that will be its own post. Let me tell you: the new dungeon is a doozy.

If you’d like to see what all the old pets look like, we have a post here and here to show you.

Anyway, on with the updates!

Visions

Stormwind or Orgrimmar

Anomalus – Drops from either Alleria's or Thrall’s Corrupted Chest

Orgrimmar

C’Thuffer – Rexxar’s Corrupted Chest

Void-Scarred Hare – Umbric’s Corrupted Chest

Void-Scarred Pup – Thrall’s Corrupted Chest

Void-Scarred Toad – Zekhan’s Corrupted Chest

Stormwind

Void-Scarred Cat – Alleria’s Corrupted Chest

Void-Scarred Rat – Kelsey’s Corrupted Chest

Zone: Uldum

Drops

Aqir Tunneler – Drops from Skikx’traz (Say that one five times fast)

Cursed Dune Watcher – Uldum Accord Supplies

Rotbreath – Lord Aj’qirai

Wicked Lurker – Amalgamation of Flesh

Vendor

Pygmy Camel – Provisioner Qorra

This pet costs 300 Polished Pet Charms, and requires Revered reputation with Uldum Accord

Pet Battles

Oasis Void-Duster

“Nobody is sure what sort of powder is coming off of these moths, and everyone is too terrified to find out what it actually is.”

Void-Scarred Locust

“Even some of the insects have succumbed to the void. They really do adapt and survive through everything.”

Zone: Vale of Eternal Blossoms

Drops

Corrupted Tentacle -- Will of N’Zoth

Jade Defender – Rajani Supplies

Vendor

Windfeather Chick – Zhang Ku

This pet costs 300 Polished Pet Charms, and requires Exalted reputation with the Rajani.

Pet Battles

Golden Chirper

“The golden chirper has managed to stay its pristine self, despite corruption attempts from both the Sha and from the forces of N’Zoth.

Voidglower

“Is the void glow in addition to their natural glow, or does it replace it? The world may never know.”

Voidskimmer

“These look especially magnificent when gliding over the water under a full moon.”

Profession

Fishing

Gloop – Corrupted Uldum or Vale of Eternal Blossoms

Achievement

There is a meta achievement called, ‘Reeking of Visions,’ that the pet, Reek, is a reward for.

Reeking of Visions is the meta achievement:

And these are the two achievements you need to complete it:

Blackrock Depths – New Pet Dungeon Pets

All the pets below will come from the vendor Burt Macklyn, who uses Shadowy Gems as currency.

Experiment 13

Cost: 3 Shadowy Gems

“The name implies that there were 12 experiments done before this one that were less effective than sticking some guns onto a mechanical tiger. What could those have possibly been?”

Tiny Claw

Cost: 2 Shadowy Gems

“This bear’s necessities are fresh batteries and an occasional oil change.”

Wailing Lasher

Cost: 1 Shadowy Gem

“This lasher does not come from a black lagoon, or from the stars, or from beyond the moon. It just wants you to feed it.”

Well, that's all for now. Keep an eye out for our look into the new pet dungeon, and until next time: Happy Battling!

You should use Anubisath Idol on first spot, it soloes almost entire team!

Gráinne wrote today on: Taralune

So I saw your comment and checked for myself. It actually did work for me, but I had amazing RNG near the end, with all but one of the moth balls missing. I wouldn't have made it otherwise. - - In the middle, Servant of Demidos' first turn, Soulrush, was wasted on finishing off her first moth, which had only 71 HP left. The strat doesn't specify, but I assume the FoA had been expected to finish off that one, with the SoD's Soulrush chunking down the fresh second pet. - ... [continue reading]

Arkimades#2389 wrote today on: Sir Galveston (Aquatic)

Definitely not the most elegant script. However it's functional: - - if [ self(#1).active ] - ability(Water Jet:118) [ self.round = 1 ] - ability(Mudslide:572) - ability(Bubble:934) - ability(Water Jet:118) - endif - change(#2) - if [ self(#2).active ] - ability(Whirlpool:513) [ self.round = 1 ] - ability(Surge:509) - endif - change(#3) - ability(Pump:297) [ self.round = 1 ] - ability(Water Jet:118) [ self.round = 2 ] - ability(Cleansing Rain:230) [ ...

As much as I love the concept of this strategy, the three times I tried, the fights always failed :(

Sarahlinii wrote today on: Vesharr

Just so you're aware, Nexus Whelpling's abilities are shown as 2/2/2, with Frost Breath instead of Tail Sweep. When I used the TD Script as you have it, instead of using Tail Sweep to finish off Apexis Guardian, it used Arcane Storm and did not kill Apexis Guardian who then killed my Whelpling and the fight was lost.

i used a warpstalker hatchling 2-1-2 instead of Xu-Fu

DangerBook#11885 wrote today on: Chaos Pup

I looked at this and had Ikky so I used Water Waveling in the first slot since it also had Geyser. It did the one hit on the Pup and also did a lot of damage to the 2nd pet. I used a Bee for the third pet Preen, Sunlight and Slicing Wind managed to make it through.

Azardea wrote today on: Andurs

Seems like a P/S one is completely incapable of any of these strategies.

Ravij wrote today on: Snozz (Elemental)

This strategy is much better than the one with the Core Hound Pup. Less RNG involved and only took my 2-3 tries.

Oddly, when I go to the BfA Family Battler pages, and mouse over the Undead icon... sometimes it says "Not Quite Dead Yet" and sometimes "Unstoppable Undead" (the name of the Argus version).

been having a problem for a few days with updating my pet collection. I don't see my server in the drop down list, I tried using another server and character. It updated the collection but When i try to use Magpie it doesn't recognize that I have any pets.

I know the issue isn't here as it also happens at warcraftpets as well.

Please stop make the page re-posting comments when reloding the page!
‌
Learned this today: posted a comment, came back later to see if there was any feedback, reloaded the page: the page posted a copy of my comment. That was not what I wanted. I just wanted to check if my comment was posted and if there were some responses. I did not want to post a copy of my comment from 5 hours ago. And, a humble guess, I think the majority of the users are not expecting such behavior either.

Thanks, and, as said, I love your (this) site.

And your browser didn’t warn you about „sending data again“? I haven’t checked but would assume that comments are using POST, and I don’t know any browser silently sending a POST again on refresh?

OK. I’ll try it again with this comment reply. I’ll leave the page open and come back in a couple of hours to reload the page. (This was the scenario, IIRC. Though I’m not sure if the problematic comment was a real comment or a reply to a comment, like this one.) Anyway, I’ll report back then.

OK, have reloaded the page now (3 or 4 hours after posting) and… everything fine this time (that is, I got the confirmation dialog). So, no idea what did provoke the faulty behaviour the other day. The state of the cache? Or maybe I had some setting activated in the Develop menu that prevented the sheet from coming up?
When/if it occurs again, I’ll post it here.

Hey! I used to have my Pet Collection imported onto the website, but it was deleted once I reconnected my battle.net account to set a character icon. Now when I try to import my collection again (even after removing the original connection), it reloads to a blank screen with "ssdfsds" in the corner.
I love the website and this is the only issue that I've ever encountered. I just wanted to bring it up! Thanks for all the wonderful work you do <3

Ehm, here I am again, complaining … ;-)

It would be nice if we wouldn’t have the limit of 990 chars in the Info box of a strat.
I’ve only posted 3 strats so far, but already run into that space problem. See my EnvBert strat with Squashling (https://www.wow-petguide.com/index.php?Strategy=4315).

In that Info box I only could squeeze-in the content by shortening many things, down to the gramatical limits, and by omitting some info. I know, I could continue in a comment in the comment section, but this doesn’t feel right. The essential infos should be in one place.

I’m also aware that 990 chars should be more than sufficient in most cases. But there are cases where more info is useful (like the above example), and unless there is a technical 990-characters-hard-limit, please give us more room. If someone really is misusing that box (what for?) you could always edit the post or/and contact the author.

Thanks for considering.

I think we had a much stricter limit 2 weeks ago and I personally don't think this infobox needs more characters because it's there for SHORT creator comments to strategy basics or pet choices and IMHO not to explain every single RNG situation players can experience.

If you can reduce RNG with breed restrictions... then maybe it's better to add them to the pets and not explain what can go wrong with other breeds. Also, I don't see the need to comment on the level pets because that is something that belongs to your pet team (or Rematch strings if you like to add your specific ones).

Most people come here not to read walls of text, they look for the better-rated strategies that match their pet collections, copy&paste stuff they need to import into their addons and only come back if something goes horribly wrong and then mostly to find help in other peoples' comments who also struggled or to find a different team/strategy: I don't think many people wanna read about stuff that already happened to them, they mostly want to see solutions and it's the best way to have them in a well-optimized strategy&team already.

Be honest, does it help when I struggle with this specific strategy and then come back and find something like "if this is happening you are screwed" or "if this is happening and you want pet XP restart, otherwise you win without rewards for your level pet" in your creator comments? I don't think so.

This is not a basic forum so maybe it's better to continue with keeping things short ;-)

To me, certain character limits tend to be problematic not because of the length of actual content, but because of formatting tags and embedding taking up a lot of characters. This is something I experience on most of websites, not just this one, but the most aggravating issue over here is linking to user profiiles and other sources of strategies, which could be alleviated with internalisation of link paths and @mentions.

About the tooltips themselves… I don't have any clear conclusions one way or the other. Put an effort into it? It's ignored. Leave it alone to keep it tidy? You come out as oblivious and heartless.
Same goes for strategies, a new one? Ignored on behalf of ones that took the spotlight first. And when it's actually noticed? It seems to outweigh another with 300+ flawless executions which somehow stays in the shadow. Therefore, I'm not sure one can account for every visitor upon creating the environment. :-)
The cycle of (tamer) strife can be cruel, and I believe something needs to be done with it nevertheless – but sadly, enough of the philosophy, for at the moment the engineering of more basic aspects has to come first!

@Lazey, Part I (Sorry, the page freaks out when I’m trying to post my reply as one. So, I’ll try it in two steps ;)
‌
First and foremost, thanks for your reply and for your opinion. But I don’t agree with all of your points…‌

> I personally don't think this infobox needs more characters because it's there for SHORT creator comments to strategy basics or pet choices and IMHO not to explain every single RNG situation players can experience.
‌
IMO the part that really should be kept short and precise is the description (the steps). The Info box, I agree with you, should also be short, but if there is a need for more information, it should be dumped into the Info box. (Not into the description, not into the comments section, for two different reasons, but I think both are obvious.)
‌
Another possibilty would be to squeeze any meta info into the description before “Turn 1”. But this would be a cheap second Info box, and I don’t like the idea to abuse the form that way.
‌
> If you can reduce RNG with breed restrictions... then maybe it's better to add them to the pets and not explain what can go wrong with other breeds.
‌
I think you are referring to the Env Bert strat I have linked. Basically I agree. But you might have noticed that I already had added min power to pet #2, in order to exclude some of the substitutes. Though, I didn’t wan’t to do the same with the Blazehaound (pet #1), because I think the strat is doable also with a suboptimal breed. But maybe you are right and I should just exclude any non-P/P breeds.

@Lazey, Part II
‌
> Also, I don't see the need to comment on the level pets because that is something that belongs to your pet team (or Rematch strings if you like to add your specific ones).
‌
You are right here. The Rematch string is part of the Info box, and as such it should be parsed correctly. (The string that contains the correct and breed/damage-specific min health requirements). This should be enough, but, I think there are also folks that aren’t using Rematch. They also should know of the type-specific min health requirements. Unfortunatly the default forms of the page don’t offer any detailed entries for the min health. They only offer one entry (for all damage types), and I always put the worst-case min health there (for pets that are weak against the expected damage type)
‌
> Most people come here not to read walls of text, […]
‌
Well, I think, a “wall of of text” is not defined by the amount of characters. To create a wall of text you need two things: lots of characters, and lots of missing line breaks / paragraphs. I’m completely aware of that, and I’m always trying to section and format my texts in a manner that makes it usable for readers ;) I think the limit of 990 chars is not contributing to avoid walls of text. (It’s easy to build a a wall of text with only 500 chars, but I think you got what I mean…)
‌
> Be honest, does it help when I struggle with this specific strategy and then come back and find something like "if this is happening you are screwed" or "if this is happening and you want pet XP restart, otherwise you win without rewards for your level pet" in your creator comments? I don't think so.
‌
Good question. Me personally, when I use a new strat from somebody else, I always read thru the strat, and in the case I really need to level some pet, I then (likely) exclude strats that are mentioning things like “RNG”, “risk”, etc. But: I’m always happy (when using a new strat) when I see some detailed infos, so that I can estimate what is going to happen. But YMMV.

I am a simple pet battler looking to up my rotation.
Currently I just do the garrison daily and the gnomeregan daily. As well as the pet battles from the two islands. What is the next step for me in pet battling?

Welcome to battling :)

A lot depends on your roster - what pets you currently have, at what levels, and what breeds. More pets, fully levelled and made Blue, of the right breeds, makes everything easier. Since you haven't linked to a WoW character here, I can't see that, and it's hard to make specific suggestions.

I wrote a forum post here suggesting a development path for a battler. You'll have to decide what stage you're at:
https://eu.battle.net/forums/en/wow/topic/17623632232#post-3

The general directions of development people pursue are:

1. Collecting. Some people collect pets with not a lot of regard for their battling capabilities. However, since some pets are achieved only by battling, for example Wicker Wraith and Stunted Direhorn, even collectors need to pay some attantion to battling.

2. Achieving. There are many pet battling achievements in game, and following the natural trail through the Taming [Continent] achievements up to Pandaria, and then on to the Spirit Tamers, Beasts of Fable and the Celestial Tournament was an epic journey for me and for many others. It's well worth doing. The Celestial Tournament is still, IMO, the pinnacle of PvE pet battling. However, WoD and Legion and BfA have added more battling achievements.

3. Roster development. Distinct from collecting, this is finding the right pets for your toolbox in the right breeds and levelling and if necessary making them Rare with stones, so that you have the right specialist pet for any possible challenge.

4. PvP. Only a small minority of pet battlers spend a lot of time in PvP, but those who do really enjoy it.

Apart from Xu-Fu's here, you can read and join resources like the official Blizzard forums for pet battles, WarcraftPets.com website, or the WarcraftPets Discord, where like-minded addic.... er, battlers ... and more than delighted to answer any questions you might have.

Please ask again if you have any more specific questions!

+1 for the Celestial Tourney comment alone.

Only really to expand on Gráinne's comment as regards the 'collecting' and 'roster development' sections - which are, as said 'distinct' although they are intrinsically linked - I would like to point you in the direction of the in-game Achievements > Battle Pets > Collect tab. There are a series of achievements called Raiding With Leashes, pretty much all of which can be completed via the auction house - if you have the gold/inclination - or by completing old raids.
In this content-starved expansion (and it is, it's making people want to do pet battling, isn't it? XD), it's been some small relief to run (short) old content knowing there's a possibility of a worthwhile reward beyond the vague chance of some 75kG pants dropping.

Thanks so much for the replies. I think I am somewhat of a collector/roster builder. I go around doing the dailies but I also like buying pets just for their looks. I watched hazelnutty on youtube last night. I think I will focus on doing the expeditions when I have time to get all the pets that come from that. Then I will go back and do old raids like Eekwibble suggested.
