wow Patch 6.2 Pet Battle Preview

[Odinn 95]

 

New pet battle content is coming to World of Warcraft in Patch 6.2, and Blizzard has posted an overview of the new pets, quests, and more. The complete post is included here, along with some additional details.

 

Blizzard's original post is as follows:

 

As we continue to explore new territory in Draenor, it should come as no surprise that new battle pets and new battle pet rewards will be found. Thus far, Draenor has contained a great deal of diversity for pet battlers, and Patch 6.2 will be no different. Let’s take a look at some of what’s in store for your collection.

 

Please note: Spoilers are ahead! If you want to discover the new battle pets and rewards for yourself, don’t read any further!

 

 

Tanaan Stop Action

 

First and foremost, Tanaan Jungle is where the action can be found on all fronts. You will find battle pets of all types dotting the landscape, four of which are new and just waiting to be caught for the first time:

• Bloodbeak
• Cerulean Moth
• Violet Firefly
• Fen Crab

Keep an eye out for the new quest “A Fel Puppy of My Own”, through which you can acquire the delightful new Fel Pup.

 

Just delightful.

 

But the jungle doesn’t only provide garden-variety battle pets. If you look carefully, you’ll find that there are 15 fel-corrupted legendary pets scattered throughout Tanaan. Your Pet Battle Master in your garrison will have some new information for you to get started. You can only defeat any of these legendaries once per day, and when you do, you’ll receive a container of Fel-Touched Pet Supplies, which will include:

• Gold
• Pet Charms
• Pet Bandages

And has a small chance to include:

• A Fel-Touched Battle-Training Stone (single use, grants +5 pet levels)
• One of these rare pets:
  • Periwinkle Calf
  • Zangar Spore
  • Seaborne Spore
  • Nightmare Bell
     

You can ring my Nightmare Bell. Ring my Bell.

 

We’ve also got a new achievement for you when you defeat all 15 legendary opponents in Tanaan Jungle.

 

 

You’re Too Charming

 

Patch 6.2 is going to introduce a new vendor to your level 3 Garrison Menagerie. Tiffy Trapspring and Giada Goldleash have been attracted to your impressive stash of Pet Charms, and want to take them off your hands in exchange for the following pets:

• Dusty Sporewing
• Bloodthorn Hatchling
• Glowing Sporebat
• Lost Netherpup

And the following toys:

• Magic Pet Mirror
• Indestructible Bone
• Spirit Wand

 

And the Hunt Continues

 

A number of new battle pets coming to World of Warcraft with patch 6.2 can be found all over the worlds. Back home in Azeroth, adventurers will cheer when they find the non-combative Nethaera’s Light glowing in Dalaran. Meanwhile, two new fishing pets are turning up at the Darkmoon Faire. One is called Blorp (also a non-combat pet), and the other is the wondrous Ghostshell Crab.

 

Their shells are made of ghosts.

 

Even more pets have found their way to the fields of battle on Draenor. Look carefully, and you may find:

• Crimsonwing Moth -- A rare spawn in Talador with many spawn points, and only one ever appearing in the zone at a time.
• Sapphire Firefly – A rare spawn in Spires of Arak who also has many spawn points and appears only once at a time.
• Cinder Pup – Available from a new Garrison mission in patch 6.2.
• Corrupted Nest Guardian – Dropped by Shadow Lord Iskar in the new Hellfire Citadel raid.

 

Get a first look at all of the above by testing Patch 6.2 with us on the PTR. Please note that availability to test some PTR content may be limited to certain time frames. Learn more about the upcoming Patch 6.2 and how to participate on the PTR in our 6.2 PTR Patch Notes.
