Stoutxed's Comments

Feb 2025 and getting this pet still requires a lot of patience.  The good news is I can confirm Leafmender still drops it, and Leafmender's schedule of showing up every hour hasn't changed, and the map drop pin is still accurate. 

If you farm the Ashleaf Sprite mobs while waiting for Leafmender to reappear and your toon has herb gathering, they drop junk level herbs.

I didn't find any Stormwind rats either in Stormwind or Elwinn Forest during the day, but I found them in Elwynn forest at night after 10:30 PM CST.   Not sure if these are nocturnal only pets or if it was just bad RNG on my part. 

Late Saturday night / early Sunday morning, 2:15 AM CST, no librams at the Dalaran Crater in the Hillsbrad Foothills.  Tuesday morning at 5:30 AM CST, there were 7 librams as the primary pet around the crater and some showing up as the secondary.  Books are for morning people, I guess.

During Winter Veil a "Father Winters Helper" NPC offers fast travel directly to Hillsbrad Foothills from IronForge, right next to the crater.  This made it a lot easier to check multiple times in a week.

Got Jingles from the daily quest provided by "Wulmort Jinglepocket" during WinterVeil in IronForge.  After reading the comments below, I used a flawless battle training-stone on it, and it leveled Jingles up just fine.  Looks like this bug has been fixed in 2024. 

A few quick tips mentioned before but are worth restating:

- By Wulmort there's a fireplace with a "Father WInters Helper" NPC that offers fast travel to take you directly to Hillsbrad Foothills, where the greench lives.  Plus, reindeer pulled sleighs are cool. 

- Jingles drops from the Stolen Present that Wulmort gives on quest turn-in, not from the Greench.  I was expecting the present to drop from the Greench, which was (in retrospect) wrong.

- If you hearthstone to the Stonefire Tavern located nearby in IronForge before taking the sleigh ride, returning from this quest is a lot quicker. 

Over 800 tries spread out in short intervalse across 4 days but finally got it.  In the Underbelly of Dalaran by the black market, not in a specific pool, just open water.  Gotta love fishing with a 5 minute timer until your guard runs away!

It's snowing in the Stormpeaks now.  1:09 PM PST, 12/18/24.  Just like the others said - when they're present, there's a bunch of them.

When it first appeared in my inventory, I was worried.  I thought this meant my last aquired pet had an infestation of some type.  To my surprise, this is a...  reward? 

I feel bad - someone listed one for one silver on the AH.    I mean, not bad enough to not buy it, but still.   Bad.
