In the upcoming World of Warcraft Patch 6.2, a total of 26 new pets await dedicated collectors. While some of the little companions are very easy to obtain, most require perseverance or a large dose of luck. In this guide, we will reveal the locations of the WoW pets.
The tamable creatures
The following 4 pets all come from the Tanaan Jungle and can be tamed normally in pet battles there. They also appear as secondary enemies in pet battles, so attacking another creature can lead to success as well.
- Bloodbeak can mostly be found near Lion’s Watch.
- The Cerulean Moths can be found both at the Temple of Sha’naar and north of Fang’rila.
- Fen Crabs can be found on the beaches of the zone, primarily south of Fang’rila.
- The Violet Fireflies await in the eastern part of the hunting grounds of the bleeding eye.
Two more pets, the Crimsonwing Moth in Talador and the Sapphire Firefly in the Peaks of Arak, also await patient hunters. Only one single specimen at a time is available for both pets and can appear anywhere in the entire area. As a trade-off, both respawn immediately when the active specimen is caught or killed.
Fights against legendary pets
In the fel-infested Tanaan Jungle, a total of 15 legendary pets await well-prepared pet trainers. The battles can be quite challenging and often require planning or very specific pet combinations to be reliably mastered. Each legendary creature can be conquered once per day. As a reward, a bag awaits after each victory, containing pet luck charms and one of four companions:
Pets from vendors
Of course, the new patch will also drain your hard-earned resources. Particularly, the supply of pet luck charms will be depleted, as some vendors in Draenor offer their new wares – including loyal companions and numerous toys.
Depending on your faction, at the Pet Menagerie, Tiffy Trapspring or Giada Goldenleash await you, each carrying several pets:
- Bloodthorn Hatchling for 50 charms
- Dusty Sporewing for 50 charms
- Glowing Sporebat for 100 charms
- Lost Netherpup for 200 charms
Another vendor can be discovered in the main hall of your garrison. Horde players find Darakk and Alliance players seek Araanda. For a small price of 1,000 gold pieces, they sell you Crusher, the realized dream of a little boy who wishes to work for Blizzard.
Two reputation factions in the Tanaan Jungle also offer new companions:
Blazing Firehawk for 2000 Apex crystals at your jungle outpost (requires revered with the “Order of the Awakened”)
The little Savage Cub can be purchased for 1500 Blackfang Claws, a currency of the Saberstalkers, from that faction. Only a respectful reputation is needed.
The Darkmoon Faire will once again be expanded with some content, including new activities for anglers. At the beaches of the Faire’s island, Darkmoon Daggermaw can now be fished, which serves as a currency. Galissa Sundew awaits at the docks for all those who want to sell their caught fish.
- Blorp for 50 fish (not battle-worthy)
- Ghostshell Crab for 100 fish
Followers and Ship Missions in World of Warcraft with 6.2.
Your numerous followers and the private fleet can also be helpful in the search for new pets. For both types, there is a rare mission that is not very easy to complete.
To obtain the Cinder Pup, you will need many followers with an item level of 675, as there are various mechanics to counter. You may not succeed in completing the mission on the first attempt.
The Left Shark is a reward for a ship mission, but you will likely need a destroyer and a battleship first to succeed. You can read the story of this crude creature here.
The classic drops
Of course, a handful of companions also await those who defeat strong enemies.
The Corrupted Nest Guardian is dropped by Shadow-Lord Iskarr in Hellfire Citadel on all difficulty levels.
For the little Fel Pup, you must defeat the rare enemy Ceraxus in the Tanaan Jungle, at the Temple of Sha’naar. After he is defeated, you can accept a quest on-site that grants you the little pup.
The Shard of Cyrukh can only be acquired after the Garrison campaign has unlocked the corresponding area in Tanaan for you. Since the missions appear in random order, it may take several weeks before you can loot the treasure.
A light in Dalaran
For a flying candlestick, you need to return to Dalaran. At a random location in the city, “Nethaera’s Light” flies around (a macro can help with the search). Target the candle and use /cheer a few times, and the floating light bearer will be added to your collection.
The achievement pet
One last pet can be obtained through a special achievement. For this, you need to go back to the Darkmoon Faire and score 45 points in a single round of “Whack-a-Gnoll”. If you succeed, you will receive the Hogger mini Hogs.
In the coming days, the remaining English names of the pets will be replaced with the German ones.
Good luck on your hunt and in collecting the pets!
