Soloed it no problem, time to go around hunting old raid achievements now.

I am holding off till the new transmog stuff is in. I don't want to bother with lugging crap to void storage and once the next expansion is out those things should be stupidly easy to bang out. Still if one wants something to do a lot of this stuff is pretty easy to punch through with gear easily obtained now.

Disc priests are pretty crazy in pvp right now, i boosted one with the intent to play shadow but ended up just doing disc pvp. It takes 3-4 people to take you down in pub BG's with rated there has to be a clear cc/stun/silence rotation on you or you'll outheal the dps. i also cant speak for other healers but the mobility is really good with Body and soul giving you a 60% speed boost and the 2/4 pvp set letting penance boost speed (or reduce enemies).



Disc priests are one of the classes that are changing the most in the expansion though, not sure how viable they are going to be now that they are advertised as "healing damage dealers".

I am trying to play a horde alt up just to get that achivement done so I rolled a little goblin priest. I went disc because I figured it would be okay for dungeons and reasonable soloing pve and I have to say its pretty damn fun much more so than I expected. In leveling dungeons I pretty much throw a shield on my tank and anybody taking damage and then just switch to dpsing the boss. With shields and holy nova my groups pretty much just started doing the entire dungeon at a run barely stopping even for boss fights. Makes for some really silly fast leveling.

Anyone got any suggestions for powerlevelling pets this week that doesnt rely on having some highly specific pets already at 25?

Equip highest level pets, compare that with the map to find pets that are 4 levels above yours. Battle these pets and capture one of them. Repeat process until you have some level 20-22 pets. Move to Vale of Eternal Blossoms. Capture the Gilded Moths until you have at least 2 of green or higher quality.

Use Gilded Moths to plow the Civets/Frogs/Striders to level your Moths to 25 and anything else you want.

Pterrodax Hatchling is probably the best pet for powerleveling. It can solo a team of 3 aquatics without much hassle. If you don't have one, or can't buy one, just use the Moths I have suggested before... any Moth at all.

Always have the pet you're leveling in the first slot of the line up. Use any ability, or just get hit, doesn't matter, so long as that pet has seen some action, swap in your kill pet and mow that shit down.

A Pterrodax can powerlevel two pets at the same time pretty much, because you won't need that second moth to finish off.

General shit -- turn on Stable guys and hang around areas with them, this is one more reason Vale is a great place (and it's packed with Aquatics).

Hope this helps.

And don't forget that every level 100 gets a free level 25 instant stone for talking to the pet lady in your base. PS 3 weebominations is the easiest pvp team ever. cleave/consume corpse/explode as your skills.

Going pretty smooth, got a couple pets to 25 in no time. now if only i could commit to an hour straight without anyone annoying me so i could use some pet treats.

I used x2 Nexus Whelplings + farm pet in the pet battles in SMV, Talador and Spires. SMV has a pet with no abilities, and the other two are mostly flying teams, so you just demolish them. All of the Draenor pet masters only need two "real" pets to get through it, but the rest will require more specific ones at 25.

Got a pet of every family up to 25 yesterday, and a few with two, working on finishing off 2-3 of every family then going and clearing all the trainers.

Had a serious mental discussion about buying another savage gift or getting the steam tonk controller for the achievement, having only done the dailies twice. picked the gift and got the minion of grumpus. whew.

I managed to get 2 of the mounts. The event ends today or tommorrow? I also got 5 of the rep potions and 4 of the XP ones. Just sold the rep potions at 4k each. If I can get 50k for the mount, that makes a nice 70k for the event all together.

I stopped farming the dailies after my mount, doing the Greench daily is more time consuming due to medium ass travel in old world and I still ended up with 1 Lounge Cushion missing. With 10 characters.

The one brought at your garrison decoration goblin is a toy, not a pet. The pet tonk is a good one, though.

Which cushion? With toy box being account wide, I might have that one and you can just learn it on my server and it should apply.

I only got one mount and did it on 12 characters for a week -.-

That's bad luck. I got 6 on 5 accounts, and a fat stack of elixirs and medallions. Sold them all, because fuck it. I think I'm up to July of 2017 now from buying game time tokens.

I think I'll just hoard gold from now till the xpac comes out.

I did it on 8 toons for the whole duration, ended up with 2 mounts, and many medaillions/elixirs. The oil was pretty nice too. Been using the medaillions on my main to get the Trading Post rep to exalted without farming it (I already farmed it on another toon for the pet/mount but I want most reps exalted on main for those rep achievs when they happen every other expansion).

Not really doing anything special for the pet XP bonus event because I have every pet available and they're all maxed out (took about 2 years to do while doing other stuff). So mostly farming mounts in old raids and doing achievements, since my bank and storage are overflowing with gear already and need to wait until transmog update to start collecting that too.

I been using my hoarded gold to buy TCG mounts and to catch up on some of the older mounts I didn't have from jewelcrafting/engineering like the MoP panthers and the rockets. I'm still not decided on getting the 100K bike/yak and 50K riverbeast though... maybe when I'm much much richer and have no TCG mounts left to grab.

As for mounts, I'm done with Ulduar finally, took 272 runs but I got Mimiron's Head, now if I could get the drake off Deathwing to be done with Cataclysm. Still missing Poseidus and Aeonaxx but fuck camping for hours, I already did that once for time-lost and that was enough. I'm beginning to farm Throne of Thunder solo to get the mounts there, and already have MSV on farm solo to get that drake too.

Also trying to do PvP for those Nemesis achievements/titles but Ashran takes ages to get anything done, so it's slow-going.

Decided to do the Argent Tournament on my recent Horde toon also, to get all those mounts. So far I only had alliance toons ever since 2004 so it was about time to see the other side.

Once all that is done, still need to finish fishing for that turtle mount, and also wrap up archaeology pristine artifacts, about halfway done.

I'm definitely never running out of content, being a huge collection freak hah.

I got mine from doing the fish of the day thing in Pandaria, but seems like people are reporting they get it from fishing nets on their shipyard missions.

I assume you're talking about the sea turtle? I got that one back in Wrath fishing for the dailies in Sholazar Basin. I'm talking about the riding turtle, that is a very rare drop off the lunarfall cavedweller, an abyss murloc you spawn by fishing a lunarfall carp in your garrison (requires fishing shack 3 and high level fishing).
