Best repeatable fight for level 1 pets?

Post by NeverFinal » October 25th, 2016, 8:18 pm

Both of the leveling methods I know of (Squirt and Sternfathoms Journal) both damage the leveling pet. So I have a bunch of level 1s i need to get up in order to use the other methods. So whats your best repeatable (as in farmable in a single sitting) fight where you can bring a level 1.

Mistfall or other Aquatic hangout.

Team:
1. Any Turkey
2. Level 1 pet
3. Good Flyer
(I like Pterrordax Hatchling for this - Slicing Wind, Ancient Blessing, Lift-Off. It can also handle the flyers you get occasionally)

Battle:
1. Food Coma stuns first opponent
2. Swap in Level 1
3. Swap in Pterrordax and let it destroy the enemy team and heal itself.


Repeat while you have level 1s. Each battle at Mistfall with a Hat should get you to 6 or 7 in one battle.

Hi,

I like it ... but where is "Mistfall"? Sorry my pea brain can't remember it!

I usually spend about a day or two with my level 1's in Orgrimmar all the way to 4 and then to the area around Crossroads to 6. It's not that bad, since almost all the pets in those areas are single, and easy enough fights. It's after that, for me, that things get a bit tougher, but I rarely, if ever, use a Stone on any Pet under 6 or 7. I can not remember the last time I did that.

Tough ones are the pets that their first spell/hit is a 2 round thing ... but those are not that many, thank goodness.

I love the icespine hatchlings a mechancial with decoy + feline familiar + leveling pet. Decoy and swap to leveling pet and then to familiar. The familiar can solo the team and heal itself with devour. No downtime, at all. I only have to use my pet heal every few fights so no need for bandages. It works great with level 1s because of decoy and it is relatively fast.

Mistfall is the village in the middle of Vale - where Aki is.

I second everything you said. That's my go to spot for leveling. Feline and either a mecha with decoy or a turkey with Food Coma (for the flight pet first hit buff) and tons of icespine hatchlings by your garrison. Tons. You won't run out!

The method I use to battle Squirt does not involve the leveling pet taking any damage at all, so it is perfect for level 1 all the way up. There are many posts on the strat, but the pets I use are Enchanted Broom and Weebomination. I have read that some people think this is broken, but I used it last week and it worked great--leveled over 20 pets from level 1.

Using the hat, and both pet treats I get from 1 to 24 in 4 fights. Having a pet healer right there is a plus, sadly she is only available every 15 days which stinks. I usually use a leveling stone for the last level just to save time.

You can easily use a level 1 pet on Squirt without it dying. Jaladar mentioned the Enchanted Broom and the Weebomination. My personal favorite, however, is S/S Bronze Whelpling and Widget the Depatarted (or Spectral Tiger Cub). Unfortunately, if you don't have an S/S Bronze Whelping, the strategy won't work, but it's easy to get Widget the Departed right now! What I love about the Bronze Whelpling/Widget strategy is that it only takes 90s (sometimes less) to complete the fight. I can level about 12 pets from 1-25 in one hour on Squirt (1-24 in ~5 mins, with 2 treats and the Safari hat, then they get a level up stone).
