I came in to post some of this stuff

I also noticed two very interesting items now in the database:

http://beta.wowdb.com/items/112325-trai ... of-testing
http://beta.wowdb.com/items/112267-trai ... of-testing

Now, they could be only for Alpha/Beta testing and won't make it to Live. But I'm drooling at the mere prospect of these being in the game.

I'm seriously considering buying 2 extra Vengeful Porcs right now in case that goes live, then I can rehome them with friends afterwards I suppose.

[Ravnhawk]

@Peanutty - that sounds like a good idea. Especially since they can be found relatively cheap for a level 1.

[Peanutty]

Maybe not so cheap anymore... I just checked several servers and there weren't any in the AH! Managed to snag one on a lower pop server but looks like other people are thinking the same as me.

They must be the leveling stones that were given as a teaser a while back from a twitter. Thank god it's only one level and not all the way to 25.

I kind of wish it was more than one level. Even though all my pets are level 25, I think having an epic stone grant 5 levels would be nice. For me, one level really is not very exciting.

[Graven]

Isn't it likely that the "of Testing" bit means it's for test purposes only? Can't honestly see the purpose of a levelling stone that grants one level, when you can gain 7-8 levels from a single trainer battle.

[Kring]

Blizzard often does silly things in alpha builds. If the achievement is implemented it won't be 3 Vengeful Porcupette but something more reasonable. That's why it's labeled [TEST].

[Azrile]

It probably isn´t a bad investment to buy two veng porcs now anyway. TI will probably be getting cross-realmed next expansion, but I still dont´think many people will be grinding these things out. Even if they don´t add this achievement, you will still be able to make a profit, and if they do add this achieve, you will be able to get it, and make a huge profit selling your lvl 25s afterwards.

Also, just a quick personal opinion. this is exactly the wrong thing to do. I think one of the biggest problems with pet battles is that they allow you to use 2 or 3 of the same pet. It makes slightly OP pets even more OP if you can have 2 of them on your team.

Still not got my first Vengey Porc.

Time to stab some people (and die lots, over and over)

Exactly my thinking. I finally did pick up 2 more at a decent price, and have already handed one off as a gift with the understanding that I may need to borrow it next xpac. The spare should sell easily once players come back for MoP.
