Recent Pet Battle Hotfixes

Developers have been hard at work formulating and then implementing fixes for many of the bugs in Pet Battles. Here are two notable recent hotfixes.

Retroactive Quality Upgrade
Three pets that were intended to be rare quality but were not, recently had their quality updated. Unfortunately, the change to the Darkmoon Hatchling, Singing Cricket, and Red Cricket was not retroactive when the hotfix went live. Players that learned the pet prior to the hotfix seemed to be stuck with a lower quality companion in their Pet Journal, despite the updated qualities.

However, Mumper recently confirmed in a Twitter response to @WarcraftPets that developers have found a solution that will convert already known pets to their proper quality.

I was waiting for confirmation.. Woohoo! Red Cricket, Singing Cricket and Darkmoon Hatchling should all convert to rare now.

This fix may take some time to take effect for all players, but there have already been reports from some collectors that the three pets listed above have turned into rare quality companions.

Safari Hat
After this past Tuesday's Maintenance, it seems as though the Safari Hat is now being mailed to characters on eligible accounts!

In some cases, you may need to relog or zone into a dungeon after completing the achievement Taming the World, before the hat will show up in your mailbox.

Don't be alarmed if you're suddenly swimming in hats. All of your characters receiving this stylish headgear is intended.

So what are you waiting for? Now that you look the part, get to hunting collecting!
