The first pet of the charity event from World of Warcraft is unlocked. Get Bananas while you can.
Recently, all players can pick up a free pet in World of Warcraft. The little monkey Bananas is accessible to all players because they have donated so diligently for a good cause. We will reveal how you can obtain the pet – while helping to unlock another pet.
What kind of pet is this? Bananas is basically not a new pet, but it has been quite exclusive. The little monkey was only available through the old Trading Card Game for Warcraft, which was discontinued years ago. Back then, you had to obtain a rare card with a code that could then be redeemed in the game.
Bananas is a battle pet, meaning it can also be used in pet battles. Even though the texture and model are not quite up to the current standards of WoW, the monkey is still incredibly cute. And you don’t look at the polygons of a gift monkey… or so they say.
Why is Bananas free now? This is due to the charity event. Blizzard is supporting “Doctors Without Borders” this year with the charity event, which takes care of the affected by the Corona pandemic in many countries. If WoW players donate to the organization and the total amount exceeds certain limits, the pets will be unlocked for all players – regardless of whether they have donated themselves or not.
- Bananas was unlocked for $500,000.
- At $1,000,000, there will be Daisy, the cute sloth.
The charity event runs until April 26, 2021, and it seems like we are on a good path to reach the second fundraising goal. After all, there is still a whole month left. If you want to donate yourself, or simply want to stay informed about the progress, you can do so on the donation page of Doctors Without Borders.
How to unlock Bananas: Unlocking Bananas takes just a few seconds. Just follow these steps:
- Follow this link to the Battle.net shop.
- Make sure you are logged in with your Battle.net account and click the “Unlock for Free” button.
- Confirm once again in the next window with “Unlock”.
After that, you can log into World of Warcraft and claim the pet in your collection. However, keep in mind that unlocking may take a few days for some players. As long as you redeemed Bananas in the shop, he will appear in the game sooner or later.
How long do you have? The pet Bananas can be redeemed until August 2, 2021, inclusive, after which the action will end and the little monkey will no longer be available. Whether it will be accessible again afterwards is questionable.
What do you think of the event, and did you participate? Or are you just happy to snag a new pet completely for free?
