#88 Azure Crane Chick

Drop chances abound! Where do you pay off the RNG on the timeless isle?

The innocent face, OF DECEPTION!

Alludra the mage here, hunting up the pets so you don't have to!

This week's pet is the amazing, the astounding azure crane chick! You can get this pet by looting the crane nests on the timeless isle! Yup, that's it, just loot the nest...

and aggro every crane around it! These guys typically don't put up too much of a fight, but that didn't stop me from invis-ing my way out of it!

The bummer about the azure crane chick is that in spite of the item you loot being rare or blue quality it's only a green or uncommon quality pet! Which means you need to have a (flying) stone at the ready! Gah! As if fighting the RNG boss over this pet once wasn't enough!

This is the second pet in my experience to downgrade upon learning, the first being the hyacinth macaw. 

#70 Imperial silkworm & Imperial Moth

Tailoring gives life! But not creepy puppet life. That would have been really awesome! Instead we attract bugs. Fun.

Alludra the mage here helping you build your pet army!

Little known fact, I'm a tailor! I make awesome dresses that are lovely and boost my stats

....aw who am I kidding? I make them in bulk and DE them!

BUT there is more to being a tailor then simply creating clothes that turn into magic dust! For now we can CREATE LIFE!!

Or more like attract life to our creations! What! It totally makes sense! You see Tailors have to pilgrimage to the silken fields in the valley of the four winds once a day to create imperial silk. (Yeah! A cool down! Can you believe it??) Imperial silk costs 8 bolts of wind wool cloth to make so make sure you keep all your cloth drops!

Now you'd think you just get your cloth at that point and go on your marry way, finding new ways to DE your clothes for enchanting dirt, but that's not the case here! You actually get a silkworm cocoon when you make the cloth! Inside this we have a chance to find the Imperial silkworm or the imperial moth pets! These guys are uncommon or green quality, so to get these guys competitive you are going to need a critter battle-stone for your silkworm and a flying battle-stone for your moth. 

#59 Snowy Owl

There's a rare owl that only comes out in the winter! How to find this pet before the season is over!

Alludra the mage here, helping you scout for your pet battle team!

Today's pet is the Snowy Owl. This pet has been bugged since the MOP launch! But now it's finally been hotfixed in!

This level 17 pet can only be found in Winterspring, as mentioned during the winter, so that means you have six months to go catch one. Why rush? Well so far in my travels around Winterspring, I have only noticed five or so active at a time, and while they don't have any special spawning conditions these guys don't exactly respawn quickly, that means finding a rare quality pet is going to be time consuming, heck! I couldn't even find an uncommon!

I mostly find these guys at the foot of mountains, and so far I haven't found any more information then that about them. Turns out they are so rare, a lot of sites still haven't found their favorite spawn points yet! Remember, at level 17 you aren't going to have an easy time as they have two friends join them in every fight, but with six months of spawn times, I am pretty sure you have the time to get a team up to snuff.

Since he's a member of the family, your beast types might have a hard time with him, while your magic types may hit too hard for capture. 

#53 Ancona Chicken

How to get the Ancona Chicken! You only have to be a bit rude about it and take down a crazy mage! As featured on Realm Maintenance!

Alludra the mage here, helping you grab some last minute pets during this the LAST WEEK of expansion waiting.

SO we are still avoiding archeology because you know, ugh. But there are more quick pets to grab quickly and easily! And what's better then hitting up a vendor??

If you have a gold why not head on over to thousand needles? Plucky Johnson will be happy to sell you an Ancona chicken! Just head to the southern part of the old mirage raceway, kill the mad mage and buy from plucky!

You only have to be slightly rude to the poor guy, who begs and pleads for your help by quickly changing the subject to pets! And hey, she should totally open with that one next time!

Remember guys, somehow Chickens are flying types which means you don't want to use him against arcane types.

Which is really hilarious considering the situation. 

#52 Questing pets

This week we discuss pets that you can pick up during questing in old world or with a little work!


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....
