I have an upsetting feeling that we may have to choose one of the "god" pets... ;_;

Most likely initially, yes. Much like you had to choose one of the pandaren spirits first and then collect the others. Or the red pandas (well, that initial choice was made for you, but same idea). This will probably be the same thing.

So who at Blizz do I need to beg/bribe/do "favors" for to get a ghost iron schematic added to the game to power level from 1 to 525 skill?
To me, it looks like "rascal bot" is Pierre.
Rascal-Bot : [url=http://ptr.wowdb.com/spells/143703-rascal-bot#16965-17056]Right Click to summon and dismiss Pierre.[/url] If you give him a moment to heat up, he makes an excellent cooking fire.
They typically copy and paste a lot of the spell descriptions in early PTR builds. If you look on MMO champion, most of the T16 armour still has the same name and graphics as T15. These will be updated in later PTR patches.

Can't wait for people to start testing the pet battle isle... I think that's what i'm looking forward to the most this patch, along with the baby celestial pets :) Here's to hoping the next batch of RWL BC edition pets will be in 5.4!

This is unfair to those who don't want to spend real money to buy those kitties. I'm talking about Spectral Cub, Spectral Tiger Cub and Cinder Kitten. I really hope they'll change it when the patch hits live realms.
You only have to collect 20 of the 24 pets. There are four pets on that list that are obtained through the TCG, the Blizzard store or were never available in the US. That means you have to collect all 20 of the others, which includes the Aspect of Xuen. The achievement does not *require* you to have spent $200 to get a Spectral Tiger Cub.

The recipe for Jard's Peculiar Energy might change, but if not, it'll take about a month to gather all mats necessary for both pets. Meep.
Unless you have one Gnome Engineer and one Goblin Engineer :ugeek: , in which case it's still 15 days... :cry:

Unless gnome and goblin engineers have a special trick up their sleeves, Jard's Pecular Energy is currently Bind on Pick Up. So each engineer will need to craft their own. >_<

Crossing my fingers that the binding will change and/or the recipe to craft the pets will change!

But if he has two engineers, he can have both made in 15 days, is what he meant. Someone who only has one engineer would have to make one and then the other (30 days).

Looks like they're getting it, but I'm glad to see they did include the Spectral Tiger Cub. People were arguing in the thread that it shouldn't be included, because it's too rare. Although I think it's interesting that you have to collect 20 of the 24 cats, which means you can still get the achievement without the outside purchase Spectral Tiger Cub, the Cinder Kitten and the Nightsaber Cub and the Not-Available-in-the-US Spectral Cub. You would still have to get the Aspect of Xuen, so hoping that's not too difficult.
Achievement? Excellent. But what I really want is a title!

Spotted a comment on the US forums:

All 4 Aspects are available in battle pet form. The source for all of them is a vendor.
They currently all have the same skill set as Spectral Tiger Cub. I suspect Xuen will stay with these abilities and the others will change in a future update.

Rascal Bot is the Bad Robot pet.

Crafty is currently in mega placeholder mode. It looks like a human child and the Source is "Developers"


So the timeless coins appears to be what use to purchase these new pets.

If anyone on the ptr (EU) wants to make a WarcraftPets guild this build, I'd be down. Or for switching to US, since that's possible on the PTR =P

Pray they change it, I too had over 20 of them, but it looks like at the moment anyway that there is no "Grandfather Clause" hehehe.. so to speak.. They were all grey till I put the ones in the cage that could be, and relearned them. "Cat" was one that I had to capture again and it then gave credit...

It's just the start of the 5.4 PTR I'm sure that's just a bug and will be fixed before it goes live.

Crafty might be indeed Dev-only pet. So if you see one, you know that you fight against someone from Blizzard. Would be pretty cool I think.

The pet is currently using the model from Niuzao at the temple, just miniaturised.
Might change, might not.
