#56 The Terrible Turnip

Did you see that turnip? He looked terrible! How you can farm up a veggie that will bite back!



Alludra the mage here helping you build your army!

Let's go to the farm!

(The farmer in the dell)

No, not the dell! The Valley of the Four Winds! You can get your farm at Half Hill at level 85, which means that it's a great place to park your alts! Why would you do this potentially fatal (okay almost guaranteed) death run? Why for a pet of course!

Since everyone is farming for cooking dailies and such you can sell your crops for a pretty penny on the auction house, but don't think that's the only reason to farm! When you gather your crops you have a chance to loot the ominous seed.

(Thunder)

Ooooh spooky! This seed will grow into the Terrible Turnip! This is a rare quality pet right from the get go! He's an elemental pet too, so that means keep him away from critters! They like to nom him up!

The Terrible Turnip in all his vengeful rage
He's actually pretty good for you!

There's no word on the drop chance of the ominous seed yet, so you are pretty much stuck just trying your luck. Hence the army of alts parked at various farms where they can't even get rep yet. And remember the ominous seed may be bind on pickup, but the pet is bind on use!

Hey if at the end of the day I get a pet, then I am pretty happy! Especially with his weakening blow. More pets need that!

#44 Phoenix Hatchling

How to get your own Phoenix hatching, aka the original fire bird!




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!

#42 Captured Firefly

How to capture yourself a firefly in Zangermarsh, what 0.1% means for you, and are radioactive bugs less scary by type?




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!
