What’s your cut off for capturing a wild battle pet? E.g. Will you bother catching a white rarity one? For me I try to aim for at least a green rarity although I’ll take a white if i’m desperate enough. I assume throwing a rare stone upgrade at a white pet will negate its negatives anyway?
Didn’t have one. Easier to catch the first that met my needs and stone it later. The majority of wild pets will never see battle anyway. Why waste time on them? Stones are not difficult to obtain if you want all of your pets to be “rare” quality.
If it is a specific pet then hunting for a perfect match is justified.
That’ll depend some rares can only be captured white.But mostly i look for the type of pet if it hs version i’ll get it for sure.
I have a huge amount of flawless stones banked so it really makes no difference to me as I’ll upgrade anything to blue.
How do you get that many upgrade stones? I don’t have any
Yep. Tame a pet for its stats.
I bought about 600 of them with polished pet charms. Though you can get them from random pet battles and fighting trainers on different continents as well.
I wish I would have done that.
Rare or bust.
I still have a couple of legion pets to go.
This is very true. I have even slowed down doing little pet quests… I have like 4-5k polished pet charms and have bought all the new pets already.
Totally depends on the rarity of the spawn. Plenty to choose from… initiate until I find a Blue one. Super rare spawn (I am looking at you Minfernal), take whatever you can.
Stone them later, as my goal is 100% rare quality pets.
If I’m after, say, Ninja traits, I’ll settle with anything.
Otherwise, if I have time I’ll farm until I find a blue. If I don’t have a lot of time I’m happy with a green. But I upgrade all their quality eventually.
LOL… I remember camping there for many, many hours over many, many days. That one and the weather dependent pets were my most rage inducing.
So many strategies… I actually had a Death Knight on a Spanish server parked in Felwood for weeks! LOL
I can’t remember when and what server I actually ever caught it… but the relief was palatable!
They either did something to it’s spawn mechanics, or just most everyone has one by now. I was taking the LF alt through Feralas a few weeks ago, and there were 3-4 just waltzing around with no one hovering overhead looking.
I rolled an alt on a dead realm, pre-sharding, just to get that silly thing.
Any quality of the breed i’m looking for then stone to rare.
I used to only bother with blues of the breed I want but with how easy it is to get stones the quality doesn’t matter so much anymore
See, we all could have just waited 5 years and it wouldn’t have taken so long… wait…
If I come across one I don’t have I will tame the bugger. Used to do the tame and search for rares with stats but that is history for me now. I beat the tournament enough times to get the pets I wanted. Now it’s just to get numbers up for unique pet, that’s been on the list of things to do for a while now. It will be done! At… some point in time.

I’m guessing they upped the spawn rate like they did on the Northrend Valkyr thingy (that I still need to farm).
