What Mathew said. It's a dot on the battlefield instead of the enemy so it persists through swaps/deaths.

For me, it depends on the ease of finding the pet in the first place. A poor snake or rabbit is easy enough to snub since you'll battle many...MANY of them. However, I'll take a minifernal of any quality I can find. Just having one would be wonderful.

I imagine their rare smell throws everyone off.

I had a very odd dream about the heartlands, since I spent so much time there looking for dark soil. I was a hench for a Bond villain, apparently, and was trying to distract Bond. My quest log told me that in order to do that, I had to throw a Pandaren cub off one of the cliffs. But when I picked he...

I did notice my "emerald" boa was crimson when I used him to help me catch a wharf rat. >.>

I actually stopped worrying about catching rare versions of pets quite a while ago. I figured with so many people eager to get new pets, I'd let them have the chance to grab them and I could upgrade them later.

Then the news came out. n.n

Same, here, Mairin. I'm trying to spread my love to all my alts. I finally finished Loremaster of Pandaria, so I'll just be running alts out of rested after dailies. (Tomorrow should make me exalted with The Tillers, finally!)

It doesn't take long to get exalted with a guild these days. Usually by 50 in a guild with xp bonuses.

I do have to come down on the side of these pets being artificial constructs. They have no nerve endings. It's to the programmers' credit that the sounds and movements they recreated are close enough to cause me to wince at a rabbit's final squeak. Still, the biggest difference is the lack of nerves...

The way it's going to be done has been confirmed to be items that drop rarely from pet battles. There will be two stones. One to upgrade up to uncommon and another to rare. It seems that they will sometimes have restrictions such as for pets in the undead family only.

Personally, I can't wait! n.n

The latest bunny drop on our server, was ninja'd by a loot change during the fight, he took it, and threw it on AH for 100k. Which, nobody is going to buy because of the hundreds of reports the guy probably recieved for ninjaing the loot. =\ Not to mention, he has destroyed his reputation on the se...

With guild rep building up so quickly these days, just starting a DK and leveling one will get you access to those pets soon enough.

My pandaren monk is just 35 and already revered in my alliance guild.

May I just squee at this? *squee*

For the next couple of weeks, I have obligations to help out on my guild's alliance server, but afterwards, I look forward to joining this guild!

I will verify that quality dry spells are not affected by pet battle addons. I've been using none.

In some cases, could it be the weather? While trying to catch a rare Tiny Harvester, I got nothing but poors while it was raining. Didn't see my first common until I was battling in dry weather.

It should be noted that the next patch is going to include a way to increase the rarity of battle pets. Details have not been included. Also, I would suggest Elemental as a very excellent choice. At least two trainers you will battle during quest chains will have all mechanical teams, so elemental w...
