Battle Pets for Warlocks: 3rd Installment

With all the craziness that WoD has brought upon us I have massively delayed a lot of my "fun times" posts. I also haven't posted a lot of screenshots for you guys. So without further ado: Warlock Battle Pets 3rd rendition!

Raiding With Leashes 3 sends us into the long anticipated pet collecting raids of BT, Sunwell, and Hyjal Summit and since these were core BC raids we are sure to expect a lot of demonic pets.

First and foremost is Abyssius! I have waited for a long time to be able to bring this amazing blue Abyssal around with me. It will occasionally tense up and break apart, and put itself together again. He is a drop from 2nd boss in Black Temple, so get cracking if you've just started your hunt!

Next is the Eye of Observation. Remember Durumu from ToT? Do you like hanging out with your Eye of Kilrogg? Well fret no more for now you can have your very own eye as well. This dude drops off a "rare" mob and you'll encounter him in Shattrath (maybe go during an Apexis daily if anyone still does those).

Next we have the Servant of Demidos. This guy is a rare spawn who respawns every few hours in Shadowmoon Valley. You can only claim a true loot once per day per toon, so if you feel like it you can camp a toon by his spawn point and hope for this amazing looking voidwalker to spawn!

Finally, we can't talk pets without talking about puppies amirite? One of the drops in Sunwell is the Chaos Pup. He occasionally runs around all puppy like as well, aww demonically cute!

Did I miss any? I purposely skipped the Imps and Grells cause we get enough of them helping us out as Demo as it is!

Until next time!

Battle Pets for Warlocks: 2nd Installment

Evening,

Raiding With Leashes 2 gives us malefic pet collectors access to some very warlocky pets, pets that you know at one point you had wanted to summon/control for your very own evil use.

Let me introduce the first pet, the Netherspace Abyssal. This delicious abyssal drops off of the last boss of Karazhan, which means you must go and solo the chess event in order to obtain it.

As I try to re-enact the Warlock from the Vanilla WoW Trailer.

 The chess event is not TOO difficult depending on your luck with the game "cheating". What I always do is free up my doomguards so they can AOE mobs, then immediately free my King just before Medivh cheats and then focus fire down his king.

Anyways, the Abyssal casts hellfire occasionally when left alone, and this could actually cause some chaos in your raid group as you see people try to move out of fire. I found myself moving out of its fire once then thinking "wait, this encounter has no fire...". I wonder if they will add in a green abyssal once the Black Temple pets are released.

"I can has lanterns LOL"

The next awesome pet is the Lesser Voidcaller,which drops off of Astromancer Solarian in Tempest Keep. This pet took me the longest, two weeks worth of cycling every character in there, with the damned thing finally dropping for my level 86 shadow priest.

This guy is awesome, I have always wanted the void-lord-with-lanterns model to follow us, or even to fight for us and our plea has been answered!
That's about it, I have work to do. Goodbye.

Raiding With Leashes 2

Good evening,

I was never a hard-core companion pet collector on the get-go of my epic journey across Azeroth. It wasn't until the Celestial Dragon had been implemented that I strived to up my pet count and "achieve" that astral little bugger.

Raiding with leashes (1) was a great idea, it gets newer folks a reason other than transmogging into older raids, and gives creates free "content".

On the inception of the first Raiding With Leashes, I got really excited for Raiding With Leashes 2, since I had really really wanted an Abyssal pet ever since fighting the trainer in Felwood. So on Tuesday, the first thing I did was ignore Lorewalker Cho and his problems, and headed straight to Karazhan. I was quite lucky, I got every pet but the Big Bad Wolf, then had zero luck in Tempest Keep and zero luck in Serpent Shrine Caverns.

No worries, I have 11 toons who can run this shit. I run them all through, hoping to sell off or give away duplicates. Two duplicates in Kara, one pet in Serpent Shrine Cavern, and 2 stupid Dragonhawks in Tempest Keep. Astromancer Solarian and the Fel Reaver hate me apparently.

It appears the drop rate is extremely low for content that is so trivial. A mechanic to keep us coming back? Now the drop rates seem totally fine if you for a moment pretend that all these raids were "current" again and that these pets are truly "rare". In our pride of thinking ourselves powerful and entitled, we forget that some things are truly "rare" and that we actually have a shot of running Tempest Keep 11 times a week is a blessing (of sorts).

So now, I look forward to the server reset, I have no more useful characters who can clear Astromancer effectively (the 2nd pet I really really want is the Voidlord).

Oh, another note regarding the Unborn Valkyr, I spent a lot of time ignoring Loremaster Cho's stuff and just flew around like a crazy person all over Northrend. Surprisingly there were more people camping the "spawns" listed among various places of the internet than flying around like a crazy person. I do believe the spawn is truly random and I will make a new post on how I actually found mine all alone in Dragonblight. (With pics, I've been slacking with pics).

Anyways, be patient, and engage your guildies to collect and trade, because you know once that achievement pops, the halls of Karazhan will once again grow dark, its longing thirst for your attention will be muffled by the noise of all the other stuff you have to do.
