The 20 new pets I’m taming in Warlords of Draenor

41 Comments
I kept putting it off, but I finally did it with patch 6.0 only a few days away. I made room in my pet stable for some new pets in Warlords. From 55 pets to 35 pets, and here's the proof... emptystable I abandoned sent 20 pets out to pasture. I … Continue Reading ››

Pet of the Week: Saddled Clefthooves

3 Comments
I delayed in posting about these pets because I honestly thought there was a possibility they'd get nerfed (made untameable). After all, I've been disappointed before when I find a pet I love in beta, only for it to be made untameable. For a while, the only saddled clefthoof which was tameable was Giantbane and I … Continue Reading ››

Pet of the Week: Teroclaws

4 Comments
Teroclaws are a new type of hunter pet found in Talador and I believe it's the first type of hunter pet that has both flying and grounded variants. They have been added to the Carrion Bird family, though many of us were hoping the grounded ones would have made it into the Raptor family. These are some … Continue Reading ››

WoD Beta 18927: Set Bonuses, Teroclaws, and the big taming pass

13 Comments
The most recent beta build is light on the class changes, but heavy on the pet changes! Ever since alpha/beta started, there have been a large number of pets that should have been tameable but were not. Most of those, but not all, have been fixed this build! Tier 17 Set Bonus Adjustments

Let’s talk about Pet Collars

8 Comments
How many of you wish you had a oil-stained wolf like the one above? Or maybe a boar that's on fire? Or maybe one of those Icepaw Bears with glowing frosty paws? Tames such as this were only possible though some "clever use of game mechanics" (aka glitching) and they were all eventually fixed by Blizzard. … Continue Reading ››

Pet of the Week: Toucans! (aka Axebeaks)

4 Comments
Don't ask me how the physics work here or how those tiny wings can support such a front-heavy bodyweight which is apparently 90% beak, 10% feathers. Let's just hope your group or raid needs a versatility buff at some point so you have more excuses to use these adorable freaks of nature. Toucans (officially called Axebeaks, … Continue Reading ››

How to tame Gara the Spirit Beast

404 Comments
A couple of nights ago, a bunch of hunters banded together on Twitter and the Petopia forums to try to solve the Gara mystery on the beta. Those I recognized from the forums or Twitter were right beside me in game trying to figure out the same problems, coming up with … Continue Reading ››

Pet of the Week: Talador Ridge Prowlers

9 Comments
This week's pet of the week is a bit late because my big video preview on the new pet families was posted in its place. Now we'll get back to looking at individual hunter pets found in Draenor. Even though you can't tame these yet, you'll be able to look back on previous pets of … Continue Reading ››

New hunter pet families in Warlords of Draenor

19 Comments
Warlords of Draenor is introducing five new hunter pet families, bringing the grand total to 48 different families. It's kind of disturbing to think that we barely have enough stable slots to house one pet from each family. Many families will remain unrepresented in my stables unfortunately (WTB more stable slots), but these five new families will … Continue Reading ››

Pet of the Week: Boar Spirit (get this one before 6.0) UPDATED

19 Comments
This week we're taking a little break from new Warlords of Draenor pets for a PSA on the Boar Spirit. This ghostly armored boar seems to be disappearing completely in patch 6.0. If you've ever wanted  this particular boar, or are just a pet collector and can't stand to not own something that … Continue Reading ››
