First some good news..today I finally got my scourged whelping!
I ported on over to Icecrown today after doing my auctions and there he was. I was so happy!

Now for the other news…this will be my last post on the blog. I only get to play WOW on the weekends now because I am too busy during the week. I also don’t have much time to work on the blog anymore. I have been running it for almost 2 years and have had a ton of fun doing it.

I just want to say thank you to all the people who have come and visited and commented and enjoyed this ride with me. I will still be reading all the WOW blogs out there because I need my daily fix!

So this is Pando signing off. Maybe in the future when RL settles down I will come back, but for now I will see you all around Azeroth!

So I went around and started defeating the Elite Battle Pets of the Pandaren fables. They are really easy to spot, just look for the giant golden paws. These pets automatically respawn after the fight. I wish you could capture some of these guys. I would love a few of them for my collection.

Below are who I have fought so far.

First up we have Dos’Ryga.
He can be found by the shore in Kun-Lai Summit. (Approximate location 67,84)
He is a level 25 Aquatic pet.

I was having some issues with this guy. His healing ability was killing me. I only had one pet to use against aquatics so I ended up looking over my pets and found an Amber Moth who was level 22. I quickly leveled him to 25 and Dos’Ryga finally met his end.

Next up we have Ti’un the Wanderer.
He can be found in Townlong Steppes. (Approximate location 72,79)
He is a level 25 Aquatic pet.

I am a fan of all things turtle. I just have always loved the animals and this guy I think is gorgeous. Just look at those striking colors! With my Amber Moth and Chicken on hand he went done fairly easy.

Next up we have Kafi.
He can be found on a cliff in Kun-Lai Summit. (Approximate location 35,56)
He is a level 25 Beast pet.

I like the goat models in MOP so I think this guy looks pretty good. I love pygmy goats. One day I want to move out to the country and have a couple running around. They can eat the grass so I never have to mow

Here we have No-No.
He can be found sitting under a pretty umbrella in Vale of Eternal Blossoms. (Approximate location 10,70)
He is a level 25 Aquatic pet.

Now this guy is my fav of the Elite Battle Pets. He is just so freakin’ adorable! I felt so bad taking him out, but a girls got to do what she must in order to obtain her precious Red Panda. He seriously is cute though I just want to pet him

Now we have Lucky Yi.
He can be found hanging out in the Valley of the Four Winds. (Approximate location 40,43)
He is a level 25 Critter pet.

I was so proud of my Darkmoon Turtle for finishing this guy off all by himself. My Darkmoon turtle did everything right. This was the only pet I battled so far that I defeated with just one pet.

So the hubby and I had a little time tonight before we did some BG’s with friends and we’re trying to decided how to spend it. We decided to head on over to the Isle of Giants to check out the Dino’s. We killed a couple dino’s then decided to try and farm some pets. For 15 minutes we slaughtered Zandalari Dinomancers on the beach hoping they would drop a pet.

We got pretty lucky

I ended up with a Zandalari Toenibbler (pictured above) and a Zandalari Footslasher (pictured below) to add to my collection. This weekend we plan on doing some more farming to try and get the other 2 for me and whatever extras we get for him.

I have always been fond of the raptor pets and these guys names are the absolute best!

So the end of last month Navimie posted a blog topic called, Ten Days of Pet Battles. I’ve not had much time to play WOW or blog since then so when I found myself with a couple free hours tonight I thought I finally get to it. I know it’s suppose to be 10 days, but I decided to do 2 post with 5 in each.

Day 1: Your first day pet battling.

I already made a post on my first day pet battling titled, Loving Pet Battles. Click on the link to check it out

Day 2: What pets don’t you like and why?

For battles I’m not a fan on the undead pets. I have only leveled my creepy crate to level 25. I have played with a couple other undead pets, but just don’t like them. I think Blizzard has put WAY too many roach pets in this game. Seriously, does anyone actually like roaches?

Day 3: Who is your favourite pet? If you could bring it out into the real world, tell me what you imagine you would be doing.

The Giraffe is my favorite pet in the game. Ever since Cymre posted that first pic I have been obsessed! He’s just so darn cute. After I get my Red Panda though my Giraffe may have a little competition. Red Pandas have always been one of my favorite animals. When I interned at the local zoo in college I always ate my lunch sitting by the Red Panda exhibit.

My favorite pet for battles though is the Darkmoon Turtle. His headbutt and healing wave is awesome. He is almost always in my team.

If it was possible to have a miniature Giraffe as a pet in RL I would. I treat that precious sweetie just like the rich guy in this commercial!

Day 4: What was the most epic pet battle/capture you ever had?

Wouldn’t really call it epic, but so so frustrating. When I first battled Major Payne I must have tried 10 times and just kept losing. The 3 pets I had at that time just weren’t cutting it. I ended up leveling a couple more pets, Dark Phoenix Hatchling and Clockwork Gnome, and was finally able to beat him. Out of all the Master Pet Trainers I really despised him the most.

Day 5: What pet do you want more than any other pet? What would you do to get it?

I have always thought the Baneling was cool. My friend I BG with all the time has it out often. Every time I see it I fall in love all over again! The pet was a free gift for purchasing Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm Collector’s Edition. I have never played Starcraft so I will probably never get this item.

Also at this point I am pretty sure I would do anything for the Scourged Whelpling and Minfernal to show up just once while I was there. I’m serious Blizzard I WILL DO ANYTHING! I check at least half a dozen times a day and nothing, nothing, nothing!

Tonight after finishing up the Isle of Thunder quests I decided to look for some champions on my list before logging out. Jonn-Dar was there and finally dropped the Terracotta Fragment I have been looking for. I then went to look for Salyin Warscout. I was flying to his spot when my NPC scan popped.

It was Galleon!

I was so excited because I have never seen him in game. Sha of Anger seems to always be there, but never Galleon. I took a few screenshots and told the hubby. A few minutes later a group of Allies show up and I watched them take him down. I just think he is so much cooler looking than Sha. He’s even more special because he drops Son of Galleon’s Saddle which is one cool mount.

I usually don’t get to play WOW during the week, but with the new patch coming out today I wanted to log on for a couple hours to check out the Isle of Thunder. Myself, the hubby and a friend logged on Skype, picked up the quest and headed on over to check it out.

While doing one of the quests in Ihgaluk Cragmy my friend yells over Skype, “Huge dino coming down the hill!” I look over and see a giant T-Rex coming toward us. My hubby, being the fearless little healer he is, shoots him and says attack. Are you serious! He’s a level 90 elite with 118M health! Luckily the Isle was so busy today that within a minute or 2 we had like 12 people taking him down. After his death I was like, “There he’s dead babe hope you got it out of your system!” I didn’t plan on messing around with that dino anymore.

Kroshik had other ideas!

A few minutes later we are doing another quest and I see Kroshik across the way. Perfect opportunity for a nice screenshot. I take my pic and go about my business. Then Kroshik turns the corner and attacks! I’m running all over the isle with a T-rex hot on my trail. I keep running and asking if he’s still behind me. The hubby is healing me, but laughing at me the entire time saying I was still being hunted. Our friend was laughing too and was on the other side of the isle far from his clutches. She ran away as soon as he attacked me!

Well I knew it was only a matter of time before he finished me off so I turned around to face the giant beast and let Kroshik have his kill.

Now I know how those humans felt in Jurassic Park!

The Aqua Jewel is one of my favorite items that drop from the Pandarian champions. The item increases swim speed by 50% and allows underwater breathing for 10 minutes. It has a one hour cooldown.

The Aqua Jewel is a rare drop from the Pandarian champion Sahn Tidehunter. Sahn can be found in Vale of Eternal Blossoms (approximate coordinates 62,55).

The coolest thing about this item though is that for 10 minutes you appear to have this blue translucent watery look that you can see right through! A few in my group have this item and we use it all the time especially in PVP when we are trying to hide out.

When you mount up whatever your riding also becomes translucent. So below are a bunch of screenshots of me on different mounts. Can you identify them all?

Mount 1

Mount 2

Mount 3

Mount 4

Mount 5

Mount 6

Isn’t he amazing!
The piece is called Lifebloom by hao liu via Battle.net.

When you right click on an item you will build a War Party Hitching Post. All members in your party or raid group with at least apprentice riding can use the post to summon a Hitch Horse mount. If you dismount the horse will disappear.

My old guild use to have a lot of fun with this item. I would put it out between RBG’s and before raids to have some fun while we were killing time. My fav memory of this item was when a group of like 9 of us all grabbed a horse and did a parade all around Shattrath City. People were commenting and staring and a few even joined the parade! It was a lot of fun

The War Party Hitching Post is a trading card item.
It’s from the War of the Elements trading card expansion.

Aren’t the horses gorgeous!

Right by where the Pandarian champion Yorik Sharpeye spawns in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms (approximate coordinates 87,44), sits this cute miniature boat. That’s it! I just think it’s cute
