New Pets in Patch 8.2.5

Posted by Cymre on Oct 8, 2019

New Pets in Patch 8.2.5

In Patch 8.2.5, at least eight new pets were added but some won’t be collectable just yet. Rikki comes from the new RaF program although they have yet to implement this revamped system. His flavour text reads: Rikki has a talent for sneaking in and out of all manner of small spaces, if bribed properly with figs. Three butterflies will come from a boss drop and rare event in Stormsong Valley but since the rewards are tied to the new Honeyback Hive reputation, you’re better off doing this on your Alliance toon. Don’t worry if you don’t play one, these pets are cageable so you’ll be able to buy them from the AH or gifted one if you’re lucky. Papi has finally started dropping after a sly hotfix this week. Players have confirmed you don’t need the butterfly net or a certain rep to loot one which is great news. Let’s not forget about Lil’ Nefarion, the anniversary pet for Warcraft celebrating 15 years of playtime. To get the pet, you’ll just need to log in during the anniversary event between 16th of November to 30th of November, 2019 for N/A or one day later for us. A mysterious feline named Jenafur was also discovered but with the help of those clever cats at Warcraft Secrets, we should be able to add another furry friend to our collections fairly soon. Oh, and how about those two new murloc pets with our Blizzcon ticket this year? Have you checked out their cool animations like Finduin’s Mass Resurrection spell and Gillvanas’ Banshee form? A$70 is a bit steep but not surprising since it goes up every year. Will you fight alongside brave Finduin, leader of the Mrrglliance and murloc-ified incarnation of King Anduin Wrynn? Or shall you serve Gillvanas, fearless leader of the Forseaken, on her quest for revenge against the Fish King? Both mini-leaders will bust out dance moves, combat maneuvers, and even their own mini pet to help recreate your own briny battle for Azeroth. Meet Dottie, the adorable baby alpaca. When you adopt her in-game or in plushie form, you’ll be helping Make-A-Wish and WE charities aid children in need. When you purchase the in-game pet by December 31, 2019 in the Blizzard Shop or the in-game shop, Blizz donate 100% of the purchase price to be shared equally with Make-A-Wish and...

Island Expeditions – Pet Edition

Posted By Cymre on Oct 17, 2018 in Pet Battle

Okay, sure there are cool mounts and transmog dropping from Island Expeditions but if you’re like me and in it mostly for the pets, you may just want a quick reference list too. As you’d expect, most drop from similar-looking mobs or share a common theme so a pirate monkey will drop from pirates, etc. Then again, you don’t want to completely ignore the normal looking mobs going by the list below. Thankfully, friends...

Looking For More Polished Pet Charms?

Posted By Cymre on Sep 28, 2018 in Pet Battle

Ahh, Polished Pet Charms. These little buggers would have to be my biggest pet peeve this x-pac with pet battle world quests rewarding you with mostly pet bandages, a variety of stones or non-pet-related stuff. (Thankfully, this was hotfixed to reward pet charms more often.) Considering there are ~5,000 to collect for the new BfA pets, you’ll want to make sure you do every relevant WQ if Polished Pet Charms are the reward. I...

Warfronts: Arathi Highlands – Pet Edition

Posted By Cymre on Jun 17, 2018 in Pet Battle

Arathi Highlands is part of the new Warfronts feature in Battle for Azeroth. Each faction will have the opportunity to take control of the zone, giving them access to a unique World Boss and a series of rare spawns and other rewards only available when their faction controls the zone. The attacking faction can contribute profession items, gold or war resources until their faction is strong enough to seize control. This is a...

Battle on Zandalar and Kul Tiras

Posted By Cymre on May 19, 2018 in Pet Battle

Pet Battle World Quests follow the Legion style of questing meaning you will always see the NPCs but you will only be able to battle the active ones that day. The most interesting thing to note is the scaling feature trialled in Legion meaning the team will match the highest level pet on your team. There are quite a few new abilities including a variation of an old one but I won’t point them out in case you want to be surprised....

Battle Pets in Battle for Azeroth

Posted By Cymre on Apr 26, 2018 in Pet Battle

Battle for Azeroth brings a ton of new and updated models like a few new butterflies and a hi-res prairie dog but I’m especially excited about another cool addition. We’re actually getting a mummy pet! Okay, so I was hoping it’d be one of the new archaeology rewards but it turns out it will be a mythic dungeon achievement. BOO! In BfA, we’ll have a new set of Pet Battle World Quests which means max-level...

Saving Uuna

Posted By Cymre on Jan 18, 2018 in Featured, Pet Battle

Uuna is a non-combat pet looted from The Many-Faced Devourer (rare summoned at the Scavenger’s Boneyard). There are a number of bones you need to collect before you can summon the rare and you can loot him once per day. Note the drop rate was recently hotfixed. In Patch 7.3.5, a backstory was added allowing you to learn more about this ghostly child and upgrade her model, ultimately preparing her for the upcoming scenario. Her...

Postmaster Challenge for Mailemental

Posted By Cymre on Dec 2, 2017 in Pet Battle

There’s a new challenge coming in patch 7.3.5, likely inspired by a recent pet forum post. The Mailemental looks like Manapoof, Breanni’s companion in the Magical Menagerie. His abilities are Package Drop, Express Delivery, Snail Mail, Junk Mail, Return to Sender and Hate Mail – mostly humanoid damage, with some critter and magic damage too. He even carries a letter in his hand. :) Start by looting the Lost Mail...
