I’m hoping to eventually get a cricket and pretend it’s a weta. (Google image search with caution)

Until then, I might have to settle on getting a Little Black Ram from Loch Modan.

I’ve taken a break from battling pets and have been questing. I want to get a toon to 90 so I can get down to some serious farming/cooking.

I have to say, so far this expansion is not good for the ADD afflicted…I keep finding so many things I “need” to do and can’t stay focused on anything more than a few days…lol.

Lol, yes it was the “Tiny Harvester in Westfall” that I meant. I saw them when I was there to get one of the last recipes I needed for Iron Chef :)

Just like with gear, your pets can have a quality rating based on color. Say your pet is level 5. A poor quality level 5 pet will have less health (by a tiny bit) and potentially less damage output than the exact same type of pet of the exact same level that was colored Green or Blue (Rare).

This is why you can have more than one of each pet. You can have up to three of the same pet at any time, and before you can tame more you have to cage or release one of yours to make space. So it you go out to find and battle a Tiny Harvester in Westfall, and you succeed, the quality is random. Maybe he’s Poor, maybe he was Uncommon (Green). Whichever, if you cage him, you have him, but you can keep battling them hoping for a higher quality (Blue is the best).

Or, you can decide you just wanted one to follow you around and be cute, not for battling, in which case even a Poor is just fine. The quality difference is inly revealed in Pet Battle performance.

I hope that helps explain it!

Before MoP, I collected pets because there wasn’t really much else I could do. I had been stuck in “waiting for content” mode for MONTHS. At least I got something to show for the time spent. I went from 25 to 125 pets in that time. ;)

I have six of the worg pup from UBRS. You used to have to do a quest and kill Halycon, now you just beat down the scarshield quartermaster and he’s yours. My very favorite pet. When you rearrange your pokemanz list your first/main pet is the one that starts following you, but you can break out any other pet and still have whatever particular one you summoned follow you normally, though.

Really disappointed that Lil’ Ragnaros isn’t a very good pet, at least the one I have… Hits really hard, (15) but really slow (8). I didn’t get my pokemanz past level 3 yet, though… which made for an amusing moment in Pandaria; “Oo, a tanuki!” (fight starts, a second one joins… and the first one is level 24.) Player used ‘Oh crap!’

Using an all flying team right now, a pterrodax and the phoenix hatchling. :) Hatchling is weak against critters, which is everything I’ve fought so far. I wish I could remember what I had for a team in the beta…

The pet I would love to have right now is the Crawling Claw. :D

We were a little concerned, initially, that perhaps only one person at a time could get it, but as it turns out, anyone in the party can pick up the statues – once you get 30 between you, you get the achievement and the bunny in the mail :-)
