Any pets only available this expac?

Post by Mehetabel » April 15th, 2017, 2:52 am

Does anyone know if there have been any definitive answers given on what, if any, Legion pets will be unavailable when this expansion ends? Pets from the Brawlers Guild, PvP Prestige and class mount quest lines come to mind. Just wondering, in case I need to prioritise. :)

I would like to know too. The pvp, brawler's guild, and class hall quests have me worried.

Developer Jeremy Feasel has stated [url=https://www.warcraftpets.com/news/patch-7-2-ptr-class-pets-price-change-clarification/]regarding the future of class-exclusive pets[/url]:
"It's also important to note that we also have no plans to remove these items in the future, and we will re-evaluate their acquisition in a post-artifact world. If you don't want to go for them right now, don't worry, you won't be permanently missing out on anything."
So I think it's fairly safe to say that these pets will still be collectible in the future and post-Legion.

As for the Brawler's Guild and PVP Prestige pets...

[pet]Clock'em[/pet] returned even after the Brawler's Guild was temporarily closed and revamped, so it's likely the pets will remain available.

PVP Prestige pets are a completely different story. I've only heard various speculation and second-hand info that the rewards are exclusive to Legion Prestige levels, and post-Legion the levels will be "reset". No official word, so take this information with a grain of salt for now.

There have been inquiries to the devs about the future of PVP Prestige rewards (will they still be available in the future? if so, how? etc.), but Blizzard hasn't been forthcoming with any clarification on how it will work after this expansion.
