Latest News WoW Battle Pets, Companions & Vanity Pets

Coming Soon: New RAF Rewards
Blizzard recently announced that new rewards would be coming to the Recruit-A-Friend program in the upcoming content patch (releasing March 21). [source]

Starting in Patch 10.0.7, a recruited friend that adds at least one month of game time to their account will earn you the new Volatile Self-Driving Toolbox pet. More rewards can be earned for additional game time, however only one month is necessary to collect this battle pet.

The release of a new pet (and other items) will mean the current RAF rewards will be retired soon. This includes the existing RAF pet reward, Rikki (pictured right). It's unknown if they'll be made available again in the future, or if we'll be able to collect them through some other avenue (such as the in-game Trading Post feature).

Note that any recruited friends that are currently active will continue to earn you rewards for the existing set of rewards (includes Rikki). If their subscription lapses at any point after 10.0.7, any new game time added will apply to the next set of rewards (includes the new pet).

Be sure to recruit a friend soon if you don't want to miss out on Rikki. Alternatively, learn how you can recruit yourself for the rewards.

We're eager to find out what the Volatile Self-Driving Toolbox pet looks like, and we'll include it in the WarcraftPets database as soon as possible.

March's Trading Post Pet
Speaking of the Trading Post — Available this month from this in-game feature is the Pandaren Monk (pictured right)!

This pet was previously a Blizzard Store item, however it was recently retired and instead included in the Trading Post. It now costs 650 Trader's Tender, but don't wait too long to purchase this pet. Once this month ends the Trading Post rewards will change and it's unknown when the Pandaren Monk will be for sale again.
