Returning player trying to get into pet battling

Gameplay Pet Battles
1

So I am returning to WoW and trying to get back into the game. I want to learn more about pet battles. I know you can get them at different levels, rarities, types and such. I know the basics. I guess I need a guide or advice / help on how to earn more tokens / coins? Are there dailies I can do each day somewhere to get more tokens to purchase / buy more pet coins, items and such?

I go around farming pet battles until I find a blue pet but I haven’t seen any pet battle dailies or quests. I know there are some battle masters you can beat but once I beat them are they gone / done forever and I get no more loot from them? I’m just trying to figure all of this out so any and all help is greatly appreciated please and thank you. :dracthyr_love_animated: :dracthyr_blob_dance_animated:

Here are some guide links to Xu-Fu’s Pet Guides. You can take a look around the site and at the guides, and if you have any questions you’re more than welcome to ask. You’re already into ‘Getting Started’, but I’ve linked it just in case there’s anything handy in it you might not know. ^^

Thank you for your kindness and help. What’s the best way for me to get the tokens and things I mentioned? Sometimes the battle pets I try to search for are rare and it’s hard to find blue ones. Especially if the pet is a rare spawn as it is. >.<

I was looking through the guide, and may have missed it, but didn’t see anything about the pet tokens / charms. Or is it in a different forum area on that website I missed? Thank you for your help. :dracthyr_blob_dance_animated:

You’re right; I don’t think it goes over it!

The charms we currently have are called Polished Pet Charms, and they can be farmed through WQs in Battle for Azeroth, Shadowlands, & Dragonflight. If you have mission tables unlocked, I believe the Shadowlands tables still have them, but I cannot speak for the Battle for Azeroth one.

In BfA they introduced level scaling, so you can battle the enemies with < 25 pets, and the enemy teams will scale to the highest level pet on your team. This applies for BfA, SLs, & DF. It’s a good way to build up charms if you have a lot of lower level pets.

Keep in mind, the website I linked is going to have strategies for teams of 25, so it’ll be a good source once you build up your roster, especially when you want to get into the more difficult battles like Family achievements and pet dungeons.

Anywho, you can use the charms to buy the instant 25 stones, the purple ones called Ultimate Battle Training Stones for 35 Polished Pet Charms.

The Marked Flawless Battle-Stones, or blue ones that will get your pet instantly to rare quality, are 15 PPCs.

A stack of 25 bandages are 5 PPC & Flawless Battle-Training Stones (a flat xp gain for your pet) are 3 PPCs each.

The three expansions vary in how you unlock their WQs. BfA includes getting to max level for the xpac (I’m pretty sure) and going through a some of the campaign chain with Magni, then unlocking them at your capital, I believe. It’s been a while on that one.

For Shadowlands, you’ll need to get to max level, and there should be a breadcrumb that will pop up sending you through unlocking them.

Dragonflight is going to be the easiest. You get to max level, unlock them, and then all your characters that can access the Dragon Isles will have the WQs unlocked. The downside to DF for pet battle WQs is that we only have 1 until 10.0.7.

So then I still need to be 70 to do them in SL and then I need to do a lot of the Kul Tiras quests in order to get my class hall and get to do pet battles there too? o.o

Are there any other world or daily quests that give the shiny pet tokens?

Shiny pet tokens are the old currency. They can’t be used to get any of the stones. All they’re good for now is buying the pets available with them in Dalaran.

I don’t think you have to be 70 for SLs. I think that’s 60.

Kul Tiras and Class Halls are two different expansions. Class Halls are from Legion, and they aren’t too terrible if you out-level everything, but Legion won’t get you the currency we use now.

As for Kul Tiras, you can just wait until you hit max level, then all the intro stuff will be quicker. I wish I could remember how long it took me to unlock the BfA stuff with a character that out-leveled the content. xD

Thank you for your help. I’m still just trying to catch on and learn everything. Today’s been a fortunately blessed day. I think I’ve obtained 20-30 blue rare pets I didn’t own just casually doing pet battles as I quested and went to different areas. Hoping to get tokens / coins so I can get more helpful things. Just have to find the quests wherever they’re hiding. xD

Collecting as you level is a great way to go about it! Safari Achievements are a nice way to start and track what you still need, though they won’t always cover all the pets in a given continent. I like using Simple Armory & Warcraft Pets for that as well when I was still working on my collection.

Speaking of wild pets! I can’t see your armory, but if you don’t have the Snowy Owl, it only spawns in Winter until around March 20th. If you don’t pick one up before then, you’ll have to wait until they start spawning again in December. We have another pet that is the same for Summer.

Warcraft Pets is great if you’re going through your roster and there’s a specific pet you want to get, but you’re not sure where exactly they spawn in the listed zone, or when the tooltip is vague (which is a lot of them, lol).

And Simple Armory is good for tracking your collection. Just keep in mind that battle pets are split up into two sections: Companions (non-Wild pets) & Battle Pets (Wild Pets).

I do not what’s the best zone for me to go to in order to get a rare one? :smiley:

Edit: Any other Winter or seasonal only ones I need to be aware of?

Hi Holysalt, welcome back!!

I’d like to add to Amayita’s expert tutelage with some websites & add-on’s I use for pet battling, strategies, and collection.

Wowhead.com has a LOT of specific information about pets, how/where to get them, strategies for specific pet battles in the game, and even strategies for battle pet circuits. One example is the following link, which is strategy for completing the daily Pandaria circuit where you can gain Pet & character experience, as well as possibly getting a new Pandarian battle pet drop as a reward!

To keep everything organized (and sane!) I use the add-on’s:

Battle Pet binds
Battle Pet Breed ID
Battle Pet Daily Tamer
Rematch - this one is really essential because you’re able to create teams with notes about the fights steps, and save the team for future use. This comes in handy if you do world quests, and the next time you do the same world quest your team and strategy will be ready instantly.

One more thing…this is the website I use to look up prices of battle pets that can be sold on the Auction House in the game. It really helps to see what’s the “normal” price for a pet when it goes to buying & selling them.

I hope you have loads of fun with pet battles :grinning:

Rematch and Battle Pet Breed ID are the 2 must haves!

They only spawn in Winterspring, and unfortunately it’s luck of the draw if you get a rare quality.

We only have the two seasonal ones, thankfully, but there are other conditional spawn pets that have to be captured at specific times of day, or during specific weather.

Holysalt - I just sent you a few battle pets on the server Holysalt is on. I hope you get them :wink:

You’re a lovely sweet heart. Thank you so much for sharing this information. I apologize for the late response as I was gone all day yesterday. Thank you for continuing the kindness and helping me out. It means a lot to me and makes me so happy that I am still slowly running into such friendly helpful people here on WoW. :heart:

Noted and will get them. They’re on Curseforge I hope. xD I have to manually do my addons. Which is a pain each update. For some reason though the app won’t work on my PC despite my doing every troubleshooting step. shrug

Can you perhaps give me a list or a link to a list of them perhaps please? I’d appreciate it oh so very much. Thank you again for your kindness. I’ll try to see what I can find in Winterspring adding it to my notepad list of things to do each day. xD

Oh goodness love! You didn’t have to do that! D: How will I ever repay you. :dracthyr_cry_animated: I just don’t know what I did to deserve this. I can’t stop… :dracthyr_cry_animated:

I will always love them. (Catbug reference)

Would you mind if I add you on Battlenet? Then I can message if I have issues / need help perhaps please?

I am happy to report that I went there and my first one was a rare. I was very fortunate and blessed. So I have a rare snowy owl now. ^^

Grats! :partying_face:

I don’t know if there’s a list somewhere, but these are the ones I can think of off the top of my head:

Baby Ape: Raining on Jaguero Isle in the Cape of Stranglethorn. Keep in mind, Jaguero Isle has its own weather, so you have to be on the Isle to see if it’s raining there.

Restless Shadeling: Early Morning in the Deadwind Pass

Stone Armadillo: Night in Desolace

Silithid Hatchling: Sandstorms in Tanaris

Arctic Fox Kit: Snowing in The Storm Peaks

Eldritch Manafiends spawn at night in Azsuna, while Erudite Manafiends spawn in the same spots during the day.

Qiraji Guardling: Spawns in Summer in Silithus.

If anyone can think of others, feel free to add them–I’m sure I’m missing some!

You should make a guide honestly on wowhead. This is all very helpful and I know many collector’s would love this information! :dracthyr_love_animated:

Do you mind if I add you so if I have other questions I can just PM you? LaddyCorvid#1816 That’s my Btag if you’d like to add me. I have tons of questions and lot of times I forget what I needed / wanted to ask. I kept thinking of some then got distracted last night and now I’m still trying to recall them. xD

Do you mean rare quality? Or hard to get? You can cage a poor quality and use a blue stone to make it a rare.

There are plenty of seasonal and situational pets. For example, the Arctic Fox Kit is out in Ulduar only when it snows, others at night, etc.

Pet Tracker can show you which wild ones you need for the zone you’re in, then you can look them up, seasonal ones.

Holysalt, this is just a suggestion. I see you keep your Armory hidden, which is your prerogative. In fact, I fully support this choice. Years ago, I complained about the fact that it no one’s business but mine about my gear, achievements, etc. I keenly resented the fact that my stuff was public knowledge. So, I’m glad they finally got around to letting us hide our Armory.

But, it might be useful to you, if you need help, to let us see your pet collection. And there is a way to do this without opening your Armory.

This website, if you start an account there, will allow you to catalogue your pet collection and let us see it without opening your Amory. warcraftpets dot com
