We show you the rarest battle pets from World of Warcraft. Some of them can make you a lot of gold – others are priceless.
In World of Warcraft, there are plenty of things to collect, and among the most popular collections are the battle pets. There are now over 1,600 different pets to be found in Blizzard’s MMORPG. However, some are rarer than others, as they come from many different sources.
Where do the data come from? The rarity of the pets is determined by how many accounts have unlocked the respective pet. As a basis, we use the data from warcraftpets.com as of April 12, 2023 – this site gathers the biggest pet fans to compare their collections. The 10 rarest (and still obtainable in-game) pets make up the top 10 of this list.
Rank 10: Micronax
At rank 10 is the deadly mini spaceship Micronax. According to the description, Kil’jaeden always uses it to torment the feline creatures of Argus whenever he fails again on Azeroth.
You will acquire this “pet” when you complete the meta achievement in the raid “Tomb of Sargeras.” To finish “Glory of the Tomb Raider,” you must complete a total of 9 different achievements that you can achieve with the various bosses of the raid.
Most of these are now quite simple – a small group of players is sufficient.
Rank 9: Tide Spirit
The little Tide Spirit is the first representative of a whole series of battle pets that exist through the same method.
You need to buy a “Soul Inhaler” from an engineer and also have some “Empty Soul Cages” from a jeweler in your inventory. Now go hunting for elite water elementals and steal their souls. Once the soul is “ripened,” you can open it and, with a bit of luck, obtain the Tide Spirit from it.
Rank 8: Dust Spirit
Just like rank 9 on this list, the Dust Spirit is also obtained when you use your Soul Inhaler. Use this on elite earth elementals just as they are about to die to capture their souls.
Wait for the soul to mature and, with a bit of luck, you will get the Dust Spirit afterwards.
Rank 7: Driftling
The Driftling is a relatively new reward, as the pet was only introduced in patch 10.0.7. You can obtain it by reaching exalted reputation with the new faction of the Winterfur Furbolgs and thereby maxing out your language skills.
The corresponding vendor then sells you the pet for some resources from the Dragon Isles.
It can be assumed that the Driftling will disappear from this list over time as more and more characters reach exalted with the faction.
Rank 6: Gale Spirit
The Gale Spirit is the last representative from the category of soul inhaler pets. To get it, you need to suck the soul of an elite air elemental and hope that this little pet is contained within.
However, Blizzard has set the chance of obtaining the Gale Spirit significantly lower than for all other pets of this type. You might find it in the auction house faster than spending many hours searching for this pet.
You can find ranks 5 to 1 on the next page.
