To Deadmines!
The mystery of the Shadowy Figure continues in 7.2.5 in the Deadmines. Level 110 players that completed Wailing Critters (Normal Wailing Caverns Pet Dungeon) can head to Breanni in Dalaran (Broken Isles) and pick up a new quest.
This adventure will take players to Westfall to meet Marcus "Bagman" Brown. He sells three new Deadmines-themed pets (pictured above) and Mr. Smite's Supplies for a new currency.
Pick up and complete his quest, The Deadmines Strike Back, to earn an Ultimate Battle-Training Stone and the ability to teleport directly to Westfall with the assistance of Manapoof in Breanni's shop.
The scenario has 7 stages and 9 different enemy encounters. All primary enemy pets have either the Elite or Boss passive, and backline pets are common quality crabs, rats, and parrots.
Deadmines Pet Battle Dungeon Overview
After completing the Normal Deadmines Pet Dungeon, players that have at least 15 level 25 pets will be offered the challenge quest, Pet Battle Challenge: Deadmines.
In addition to this, players will earn the achievement Pet Battle Challenge: Deadmines for completing the challenge version of Deadmines. This achievement rewards the Mining Monkey (pictured right).
Ready to continue the adventure? Secure the Deadmines with the help of your pets and get one step closer to discovering the mystery of the Shadowy Figure!
A 'Bronze Age'
Two new pets (pictured below) come from the new level 110 solo-encounter, The Deaths of Chromie Scenario.
These two bronze dragons have a chance to drop from Time-Lost Wallets. The Time-Lost Wallets are sometimes awarded from Sands of Time.
The Sands of Time item can occasionally be looted from defeated mobs within the scenario and from special Time Chests.
After earning enough reputation with Chromie to reach rank 5 (Bronze Ally), players can choose the tier 5 talent Fortuitous. This increases the odds of looting Sands of Time, which in turn increases your chances of receiving Time-Lost Wallets.
Pickpocket Pets
To get started, level 100+ Rogues must speak with Griftah and Al'Abas in the Rogue Order Hall.
Upon completing the quests, Rogues can earn a new currency, Coins of Air, by pickpocketing mobs on the Broken Shore. Coins of Air can then be exchanged for the Dig Rat and Sneaky Marmot pets. These pets are Bind On Use and cageable.
The marmot is truly sneaky, as it's permanently stealthed! (pictured right)
Not Yet Available
Micronax, the pet awarded from Glory of the Tomb Raider achievement, will not be obtainable until the Tomb of Sargeras raid opens on June 20. The achievement can only be completed on Normal difficulty or higher.
The Sun Darter Hatchling is quite the mystery, and it's still unknown where it will come from. If its flavor text is any hint, we may need to wait to collect this pet in a future patch where we discover Argus.
UI Changes
Blizzard has made a UI change to the Pet Journal, and pets that are unobtainable are no longer visible as uncollected. [source]
Unobtainable battle pets are now hidden from the list unless collected.
Pets that are considered unobtainable are pets that are not available to your region, and one-time event pets such as Spirit of Competition and Vampiric Batling.
If you have collected these pets, they will appear in your Pet Journal normally.
Pets that are difficult to come by such as older Collector's Edition pets can still be viewed in the Pet Journal so long as they are available to your region.
WarcraftPets users can still view all pets on the Collection Management page and User Profile page, under each appropriate tab (Collected, Wanted, and Excluded).
New Notable Squirt Days
The in-game calendar was updated with additional Pet Battle Bonus Event dates for 2017.
The bonus event overlaps twice with the visit of Squirt in the garrison Menagerie, a welcome day for pet battlers looking to level up pets!
- EU: August 26th
- NA: October 16th and November 30th
EDIT: Thanks.
Not very much pets but they're pretty unique and you need a long time to get them. Speaking personally, that is surprisingly relieving, because a high quantity of easily available pets would have caused a need to catch-up fast. ;)
The only thing concerning me is how the breeds are handled.
SO MUCH FUN!!
Sun Darter Hatchling as been found looks like credit should go to the Secret Finding Discord Community!
I read about it from Wowhead http://www.wowhead.com/item=142223/sun-darter-hatchling#comments
I'm supperized the rogue pick pocket pets are trabeable, maybe they will fix that later like Lagan was?
A small note, the model for the Nether Faerie Dragon is back to it's old translucent prettyness.
