Threewolves 2 Pet leveling video guides

Post by Threewolves » April 14th, 2018, 6:28 pm

I make videos for World of Warcraft pet leveling opportunities that meet the criteria of: 1) Uses the most common pets possible that most players will probably have. 2) Tested, reliable, as close to 100% success rate as possible. 3) The fastest team for each pet battle that also meets the criteria of 1 & 2. My sources for these strategies include various websites, friends suggestions, personally developed strategies, or hybrids of any/or all of that. Each team in this thread has been tested by me to be reliable. Each video linked contains accurate information as of the date it was posted here. Have fun and good luck.

Durian Strongfruit 2 pet leveling guide video

Post by Threewolves » April 15th, 2018, 5:25 pm

This is a new strategy I made last night trying to reduce the length of the battle while maintaining reliability and using a level 2+ pet. I think this is a bit faster than strategies I've seen elsewhere. Hope it's ok to post here.

Hi Threewolves, I've merged your topics linking to your Youtube video guides as it's less spammy to have one thread featuring your strats.

Please note that excessive linking to other websites can be seen as advertising which is against [url=https://www.warcraftpets.com/community/guidelines/]WarcraftPets User Guidelines[/url]. To avoid having your thread locked, make sure to contribute to the discussion with content other than video-link promotion.

Thanks!

Tiffany Nelson 2 Pet Leveling Guide - This team suggests a level 3+ or higher carry pet. That's the lowest pet level that's still reasonably reliable of any teams I've seen for this battle. If you know of a team that can level a lower pet please share it.

OK, so I just watched a few of your videos. Here's how they strike me.

First, there is no horrible aspect to them. :) Most people making their first stab at YouTube videos have at least one thing that is completely bad and wrong - music, voice, volume mix, frame rate, editing, intro, something - but there is no such problem in these videos, so you have a solid technical basis for creating more content.

Second, they're clear and competent. You present your information very well, It's clearly laid out. You are showing the information on screen as you go, you speak clearly.

Third, they're not very entertaining. You may be in the business of presenting information, but YouTube is a medium that sucks its audience in because they are happy enough to spend a few minutes nodding along, even when they don't need to.

Just to check my intuition on this, I watched your Durian video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNrB2uNe67s alongside the Hazelnuttygames version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iA2PA_zmfFM to break out the differences. Now, it's not really a fair comparison, because she is a very experienced YouTuber, but I think if you isolate each element of your video vs. hers it may suggest some ideas about presentation and framing.

And now what I see as your biggest problem: the content itself. Or perhaps the timing of the content might be a better way of looking at it. Legion is over, and the pet battlers and collectors who read these forums are either already doing these battles every day for charms, or have already got everything they want to out of them. Hazelnutty and Cymre Jones have how-to videos available, and a search for Durian Strongfruit https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=durian+strongfruit gives me 997 videos. There is no possible way to get people excited about a new video dealing with this content.

Almost harder to overcome than the datedness of the content is the fact that the core information about these strategies is better presented to an experienced battler in text, and Aranesh over at XuFu's does an incredible job of keeping on top of known strategies and presenting them in a way easy to integrate with Rematch. You can't really compete with that. Perhaps adding text below your video description with the pets, breeds and directions that a viewer could copy and paste into their Notes field might add a bit of value?

That is not to say that videos aren't worth doing. Less-involved battlers who don't suck a strat in in a few seconds often find videos a great way to absorb the information. That, btw, is to my mind the thing that Hazelnutty does very well. Even though I could whip up a dozen strats for any of those battles on the spot myself, I'm happy enough to spend three minutes just nodding along because it's pleasant.

What would I suggest for you?

For a start, keep going! The more content creators we have, the better. You have a method down pat. You can no doubt learn some techniques to improve your entertainment factor, if you're interested in that.

After that, it's about what you want to do.

Basic two-pet strategies are a dime a dozen, certainly at this stage of the expansion. You can and should keep going with them, though, with an eye to practicing your presentation and skills.

You'll be eaten alive in PvP unless you really know your stuff.

Guides for getting pets? Your Pebble guide again showed that you can present the content clearly, and that's something newcomers to the field might appreciate. The problem is that off the top of my head I can't think of any interesting cases. There's Uuna but that's been done to death recently.

It's just hard to find subjects for interesting content at the moment, since we're in the doldrums at the end of the expansion, and everything has been done.

If you can score a Beta key, there will be a rich vein of new content when Blizzard unveil the new pets in Battle for Azeroth, and that would obviously be a great opportunity.

Anyway, I wish you luck, and I hope you find a vein of content that you are interested in and can pursue. :)

Thank you so much for such kind and constructive feedback! I really appreciate that you took the time to make such thoughtful suggestions and reply here. I'm nowhere near the league Hazzlenutty is in! She's awesome. Both in terms of what she does for the WoW community informationally, but also she has such a wonderfully bubbly watchable personality. I try to make these videos current because as more and more pets become available some of the known strategies can be improved a bit in terms of speed/reliability/complexity. The Durian Strongfruit videos you compared are a perfect example(thx for the link btw). The video I posted here is an improvement on known strategies because it allows for a lower level pet(2+) to be leveled with a faster battle. I don't really care so much about how many views I get. I'm not an entertaining personality. To me, it's more about just trying to be part of the wow community in a constructive way. I'm an old retired guy making these for fun/sharing. I'm not used to using my own voice for narrating these though. My whole career was related to professional video production. I was always behind the scenes. However, these videos have helped me get back up to speed with some of the amazing new video production software, while doing something productive at the same time...or almost productive. I only have 1200+ PVP wins under my belt, so a long way to get the 5k achievement. I read your post carefully and will heed your advice as much as I can. Thanks again.

Environeer Bert? The below strategy is a long battle. Does anyone have a leveling battle for this guy that's quicker or an improvement in any way?

Crazy Carrot - 2,2,2
Gleamhoof Fawn or Fawn - 1,2,1
Any level 6+.

Turn 1 Bash – M-37 comes in
Turns 2+ Ironbark until M-37 is dead
Corporal Hammer comes in
Turn 1 Bash – Clamp comes in
Turn 2 Aged Yolk
Turn 3 Swap to your Gleamhoof Fawn. Important: Remember which spell is used by Clamp in this round!
Turn 4 Nature's Ward
Turn 5 Bleat
Turns 6-8 Did Clamp use Drill Charge during Turn 3?
Yes: Hoof => Swap to your Level Pet => Swap back to Gleamhoof Fawn
No: Swap to your Level Pet => Swap back to Gleamhoof Fawn => Hoof
Turn 9 Nature's Ward
Turn 10 Bleat
Repeat the following rotation until Clamp is dead:
Turn 1 Hoof
Turn 2 Hoof
Turn 3 Hoof
Turn 4 Nature's Ward
Turn 5 Bleat
Corporal Hammer comes in
Turn 1 If Nature's Ward has less than 3 rounds left, refresh it
Otherwise use Bleat if available or Hoof – your Crazy Carrot is then forced in
Turn 2 Ironbark – your Gleamhoof Fawn is forced in
Turn 3 Bleat if available, otherwise Nature's Ward – your Crazy Carrot is forced in
Turn 4 Bash
Turn 5 Ironbark
Turn 6 Ironbark – your Gleamhoof Fawn is forced in
Turn 7 Bleat if available, otherwise Nature's Ward – your Crazy Carrot is forced in
Turn 8 Ironbark – your Gleamhoof Fawn is forced in
Turn 9 Bleat if available, otherwise Nature's Ward – your Crazy Carrot is forced in
Turn 10 Bash
Turn 11 Ironbark
Turn 12 Ironbark – your Gleamhoof Fawn is forced in
Turn 13 Hoof – your Crazy Carrot is forced in
Turn 14 Ironbark

Hey Ovak, thanks for checking it out. Hope it helps you. Those battles are great leveling XP. Maybe even a chance to get the Syd pet to drop from Christoph. Good luck.

Forced Swap to Fel Flame.
