#61 Molten Core
So we can get pets in the wild, we can buy pets, and win them as prizes but now pets are found as boss drops! More specifically, raid boss drops!
(Edit: I seem to have gotten these two reversed, the Sulfirion Harbringer drops the Harbringer of
flame! Totally my mistake, make fun of me at will!)

#52 Questing pets
Alludra the Mage here helping you beat the pre-expansion doldrums.
Honestly, now is a good time to get those pets that you may have missed out on. Those archaeology pets? well they have been waiting a thousand years, they can wait a bit longer!
Fishing at the Darkmoon fair? Awww, that just ended.
I think the answer to our problem might be questing. The Burning Stepps has a great Tiny Flamefly pet that's available only after you pretty much beat the zone. On the Alliance side you are looking for the quest SEVEN! YUP! On the Horde side the quest is called Not Fireflies, Flameflies. Both are unlockable at some point during the quest chain and are tons of fun.
You can also farm up Mr. Grubbs over in the Eastern Plaguelands. Remember that requires Fiona's lucky charm so you have to do a few quests in and then farm up mobs.
And don't forget all the fun that you can have over in the Argent Tournament.
So if pets are really your goal before the pet battles come out you have tons of stuff to do! Stuff you may have been putting off.
Remember, you could be doing archeology.....yaaaaay....

#49 Dealer Rashaad
Alludra the mage here grabbing the pets while the grabbing is good.
Okay let's round out our burning crusaide experience with a nice long trip out to the storm spire out in Neatherstorm. Why? Because there's a great dealer out there who is a one stop pet shop!
Dealer Rashaad who is located just to the right of the inn sells 8 different pets! That's right, 8 pets! And while he's a bit out of the way, that's nothing compared to how far you would have to travel to get these pets individually.
He's got the blue dragonhawk hatchling, the brown rabbit crate, the mana wyrmling, the red moth egg, cockroach, crimson snake, Siamese cat carrier and the parrot cage. Why buy from this ethereal? Well your consortium rep matters with him! And these semi-but not quite rare pets can become even cheaper, and if you plan on reselling them, every copper counts! And as the goblins say,
(Time is money friend)
Do the ethereals have a similar saying?
The only exception to this rule is the Mana wyrmling, at 40g with no rep he's got the market cornered! It is by far the most expensive pet you will purchase from a vendor.
So anyway you look at it, you are heading out to the stormspire.
...yaaaaaay...

#48 Dragonhawk Hatchlings
Alludra the mage here, helping you build your army!
Blood elves, the pretty race of the horde have more to offer then their looks. When they joined the ranks of the horde, they also brought dragonhawk hatchlings!
Dragonhawks are available outside Silvermoon city, over in Fairbreeze village and are sold by Jilanne for the low low price of 50 silver you can find her in a house to the left of the inn. She sells three colors, Red, Golden and blue! Like all 'racial pets' rep counts! You can get a faction discount by being exalted with Silvermoon bringing the costs of these pets down to 40 silver.
I know I know, but every copper counts right?
A lot of people think the mana wyrm is the bloodelf pet, but that's the power of consortium propaganda! Remember, they make 40g a pop for each Mana Wyrm sold (ya know, unless you have rep with them! but that's a whole different segment!)
Back to the dragon hawk hatchlings, these are a horde only pet so this time the alliance is goign to have to make the trek to the neutral auction houses! Fair is fair after all.

#47 Moths
Alludra the mage here helping you get the pets before they learn to fight
Burning crusade brought us many things such as this guy
(Illidan)
and this guy
(Shade of Aran)
Annnd this guy
(Lady Vash)
But what we were all super excited for before we stepped foot through the dark portal was the new races. And like all of Azeroth's races, the Draenei and Blood Elves brought us PETS!
This week we are going to talk about the moths, offerings of the draenai!
The moths come in three colors, white, red and blue. They can be purchased for 50 gold from Sixx the moth keeper who hangs out in the crystal hall inside the Exodar. These moths don't actually do much but they do fly along with your mount and have a great 'dust' effect! And for a price of 50 silver for each one, you are going to be pretty pleased with these three, who can coordinate with almost any outfit!
Sorry hordies, Sixx won't talk to us, but you can find these moths on the neutral auction house, but I have never had a problem finding them on the horde alliance house. Usually for less than 10g. While the alliance simply have to jog on over to the Exodar.
Now to figure out why the Goblins and Worgons are holding out on us. Everyone else brought pets, why couldn't they??

#46 Pets in the Beta
Alludra the mage here, crazy pet lady of World of Warcraft!
I am getting asked a lot of questions about the beta, and since MOP is coming out soon, I thought I would help clear some stuff up about what we know.
Pet battles are easy, fun, and totally worth the short quest chain it takes to unlock all the abilities that you will need! The beta has totally taken over my wow time, much to my raid team's annoyance. (What? Like you never forgot to gem/reforge??)
Tamable pets level by zone, this means that the higher leveled zones are going to have higher leveled wild pets, making this a viable side event to go along with leveling! But this also means the low level zones are going to be packed with people who are also starting out. (I used the beta to figure out where to go and what to do come launch! The first few days were craaaazy!)
Finally, sticking with only one pet and focusing on only it to 25 is a bad idea. You may want to pick a favorite of each type (Arcane, Beast, Critter, Dragon, Fire, Flying, Humanoid, Mechanical, Undead, Water) to be covered for any occasion. Yes folks that's 10 types! But totally worth it to be prepaired for all eventualities.
Well that's all I have time for! Now back to the beta!

#45 Tiny Sporebat
How to get the tiny sporebat pet in World of Warcraft, and how rep grinds can be easy!
Alludra the mage here, helping you get the pets now because the battles are coming soon!
A burning crusade pet that I have a soft spot for is the tiny spore bat. You can get this guy for 30 glowcaps from Mycah the Sporeggar Quartermaster located
in Zangermarsh. You know what that means? yup, it's a rep grind!
Awww
I know I know, but hey, rep grinds are something to do right? Now the Spoeggar faction is actually quite easy to grind up. You do the quests given by the Sporeggar people in their home, which is conveniently named after them. Then I just ran the Underbog, soloing it and picking all the sanguine hibiscus that I could find, and turning stacks of five in at a time until I got exalted. There are other quests and such, but I really found this to be the easiest and most enjoyable way.
A fun bonus of running the Underbog? You gain rep via mob and boss kills with the Cenarion Expedition. Now these guys don't have a pet, but they do have a pretty nifty mount! You know, if you like that sort of thing!
Also, you might have heard me mention glowcaps? Well the Sporeggar don't take normal money, instead you have to gather glowing mushrooms from all over Zangermarsh to use as their currency. It's just a shame that you can't really grind the rep that easily!

RIFT #02 Spot
Alludra the Telarian mage here, and if you haven't been paying attention I like pets!
anyway if you see me in game then you will know that running around collecting shinies is one of my dear passions, and since it gets you pets, I see no reason to stop!
One of the cutest pets I have seeing in a while is spot! An adorable white cat with gray spots. You get this pet by completing the artifact set Rorf collection; awesome reward
No, I didn't make that up.
The items that make up this set are well worth looking up! I don't want to spoil it for you guys, because the tooltips are half the fun, but they had me laughing for a while! These awesome items seem to be mostly found in the Drought lands, a level 36-44 zone, so get back there if you passed it!
Now to actually try this fishing nonsense....no wait, SHINY!!

#44 Phoenix Hatchling
Alludra the mage here, helping you get the pets without all the work.
One pet I have been hearing a lot about lately is the Phoenix hatchling. It seems everyone wants this little guy lately, and I know just where to get him!
You have to go all the way to the Isle of Quel'Danas and get to the end of the 5 man instance Magisters' Terrace (MGT). He only drops off the last boss, Kael'thas Sunstrider, the man who proves that tempest keep and apparent death is merely a setback!
The great thing about the phoenix hatchling is that it drops in both normal and heroic modes, so you don't have to be content with one run a day! It actually has a fairly decent drop rate too! So it shouldn't take all that long to farm him up. According to wow head, there's actually little difference in the drop rates between the two modes.
Finally some good news!
This instance is also pretty easily solo able, you can avoid most of the trash taking on only the bosses and the mobs that you feel are necessary. Even as a mage I find it pretty easy to waltz right on through, but then, I'm not exactly known for my survival instincts!

#43 Nether Ray Fry
Alludra the mage here, helping you get the pets before they become armed!
Gather your pitchforks and leave the torches at home, this week we are going farming.
One pet I just adored back in the day, was the nether ray fry!
This cute little guy is obtained by hitting Exalted with the Sha'tairi Sky Guard. Yeah that's right, exalted. No messing around with these folks! It's all or nothing!
SO how do you hit exalted? Well head on over to the Shatterath Flight master, there should be a 'recruiter' over there that opens up this zone. I basically headed over to Skettis and started farming, doing dailies and quests. Luckily a lot of them are repeatable and it's fairly easy to just farm it up if you are committed to it.
There's another Skygaurd outpost over in blade's edge mountains, and more rep to hbe had in Ogri'la if you want to break up the monotony of repeating the same quests over and over. I know at one point I about ran over there, but that was pre guild bonuses. WowWiki has a great guide available about the rep grind.
At the end, you still have to fork over 32 gold to Grella back in Terokkar (thanks to your new faction discount!) and you have a cute baby Nether Ray to fly behind you. When he's not barely hovering above the ground.
there are also some mounts available too, but let's face it...I'm in it for the pets.

#42 Captured Firefly
Alludra the mage here helping you build your army before mobilization.
Zangermarsh! It's actually one of my favorite zones! I hope you like it too because this week we are hunting for the captured firefly. He's a 0.1% drop rate from the bogflare needlers so get your waders, you are going to be here for a while. What's 0.1% mean? Well it means that the drop rate for this guy is actually one in one thousand.
Yeah. Blizzard it seems really loves that number.
Funny thing about this guy, he's actually more of a glowing wasp then he is a firefly. Either way you kind of have a radioactive bug following you around. At least he's not a radioactive mosquito?
This guy is actually bind on use so you can find him in your auction house. Just don't expect to find him for a cheap price. With all the down time currently in game you can use your time before raid to farm him up. Ya know, to add to your collection! Or sell. I'm not gonna judge!

SWTOR #03 Czerka Crazy Eye
Alludra the Sith inquisitor here helping you gather pets from around the galaxy.
On the Empire side? Wondering around Hoth? Well if you have a social standing of seven then be on the lookout for vendor Grady! for the mere low low price of 25 thousand credits he will sell you the Czerka crazy eye! Yeah that's with a 'C'... This floating orb is always watching, waiting...for who honestly knows what! probably your forgetting that it's name does in fact starts with a 'C'.
Now, to find out, who actually has a social rating of 7! Probably the same guy who spells it this way.

#41 Mojo
Alludra the mage here, helping you get the pets before they can fight back!
This week we are going to talk mojo!
(yeah baby)
Not that Mojo.
Mojo is a cool frog pet that you can get in the Zul'Aman dungeons...
(Have you gone mad?)
Hey! I never said this would be fun or easy! Anyway you go to ZA to get him, but he doesn't exactly drop.
See, what you are after are the amani hex sticks that drop all over the place. Can't get enough of them? Well luckily they aren't soulbound so you can trade them with friends or buy them off the auction house.
After the instance is all said and done, just stick around and use the sticks on the forest frogs found in the swampy areas of the instance. If you get really lucky, Mojo will jump into your pocket once you have decursed him. No looting needed.
This guy is worth the work too! Not only is he a darned cute blue spotted frog, he also reacts quite interestingly to a /kiss command.
(Ribbit)
Yeah froggy, why don't you just keep that to yourself.
