After reading about this variant I had to have it!
There was one on the AH and now Patchy has joined my team.
If you buy one off the AH and its the not-patched you can just relist it and try again.

I bet those who got them obtained them in Legion. I knew I was in for the hardest grind ever for a pet. I leveled a team of 8 alts to do the Honor dailies in Legionland and was prepared to do those 500 honor quests for months and months just to get those two pets. When I found out the honor would be...

Thanks for doing the math, it seems legit. That is a completely ridiculous amount of time for 2 pets. PVPers get amazing mounts (well deserved) that show off what they have earned. The ironic part is that I have completely stopped all PVP because those 400 level pets are unobtainable for all but the...

You get them from killing similar rares. I got a Mr. Nibs after being shot to a pirate ship and the Playful and Mischievous pets from killing the announced elemental lords. Going in the portals helps as well. Kunchong was from the rare Kunchong.

Just got this error after getting a pet.
I can see the pet (Frenzied Cottontail) on my armory page and in game. I logged in and out of the game and waited overnight.

I don't know about the toys and mount frustrations but this definitely fixes the concerns about the pets.

Now collectors won't need to do hundreds of island expeditions to get all the pets. Everyone else can now put them on the AH and we have a choice to buy them with gold or grind them.

That is fantastic news! I had given up on getting those pets, the drop rate is so low.

People notice mounts more than pets. Better advertisement in game as people ride them around so they can sell more virtual tickets. I wonder if there are more mount collectors or pet collectors. That might have something to do with them rewarding mounts vs. pets. Seems like pets would be easier to i...

With one toon it will take years to get that many charms. Looks like pet WQ usually don't reward charms and charm table missions are rare. Only thing to do is have lots of alts to do the one pet WQ that rewards charms every other day and wait for people to put pets up on the AH. Once the general pop...

I started in vanilla. Getting all the BC pets didn't take that long then I had time for other things like raiding and running dungeons with friends. Being a pet collector used to be a side gig, now its out of reach for all but the most committed.

I saw that reduction too. As a hardcore collector (all of the pets prior to BfA) who doesn't like pvp this may where I step away from the game. I resented all the pvp I had to do last expansion and now its gotten exponentially harder to get those two pvp pets. Farming honor on alts in legion still r...

I agree, 400 is too high. People who PVP I doubt really care about pets they will earn as a byproduct of doing what they love. Its only to get non-PVP collectors into dumping huge amounts time into something they wouldn't do otherwise. I am one of those and resented all the PVP last expansion and no...

Congrats on your new baby!

Your'e inches away from catching them all!!

Blizzard stopped giving out rewards for having a set number of pets so we have to do it ourselves

Welcome to the club!!

I looked it up and someone calculated it is now 44,000 honor per prestige level now after the nerf. Assuming you do all 4 500 quests each day and the 3 towers at 300 each with the guild banner up for each one you can get 3,335 honor each day. (2900 x 1.15) So that's 44,000/3335 = 13.192 days per pre...

Use the lfg tool and let other players help you get it done.
I don't like PVP much either so I just expect to die a lot in the rumble and just keep rezzing till its done.
It may take 10 deaths but 500 rep is at least half a level.

It goes faster than that, the 500 quest rotates every 6 hours so you get 2000 a day for those plus the 3 towers.
Takes about 2.5 weeks per prestige level.

Thanks for inviting me. I'm one step closer!

Keep at it!

This site has helped me immeasurably as well over the years.

It's a blast climbing the ranks.
