Warlords of Draenor
Patch 6.0.1 | Posted: October 14, 2014

This companion is a rare tier Arakkoa archaeology item. It is created by discovering and "solving" 250 Arakkoa Archaeology Fragments. Because players can only have a maximum of 200 fragments for each branch of Archaeology, 3 Arakkoa Ciphers are necessary to complete the artifact. Each Arakkoa Cipher is the equivalent of 20 Arakkoa Archaeology Fragments.

Once completed, an entry on the Ancient Nest Guardian can be found in players' archaeology tab: "Harnessing the power of the sun as a never-ending fuel, these constructs were originally built as automated caretakers for young Arakkoa. With the conflict escalating between the Adherants of Ruhkmar and the Outcasts, many have been repurposed as instruments of war."

Entangling Roots/Feathered frenzy combo decimates p much all the troublesome pve pets. Can be used in pvp teams to counter swap teams too, but less useful at that.

tbfnyc, I think "PWS" is very likely a Pandaren Water Spirit.

Does anyone know the odds of getting this one as the achaeology find?

this very useful pet in the PVE. but I can't but help think that PWS outruns it in many means.

I need to test and see if Feathered Frenzy counts for other pet's bombs as well. The wording is not so clear sometimes.

Entangling Roots + Feathered Frenzy is a strong combination that is unique to this pet. It is capable of doing 1000+ damage in one turn, but requires a turn of setup. This can seem quite predictable in PvP, but I've tested and seen that the damage is hard to counter and that most people don't know what she can do. I don't suggest her other moves because you can find them on other mechanicals that can ultilize them better.

 

She looks cool as well, so it's fun to watch her fight.

Funny informative text. Opposed to poor Sky-Bo who was originally made to be a toy for cats ;)

The ancient nest guardian was designed with the unthinkable in mind: to hate cats.
