Previous datamining during Alpha testing revealed three additional storm gryphon hatchling colors. They were flagged with an "Epic Edition" source, but it was unclear if this was simply placeholder text or something else since Squally (pictured right) was already distributed as the Epic Edition pet.
Thanks to players on Beta we now know that purchasing the Epic Edition of The War Within will reward all four storm gryphon hatchling pets!
Players that summon Squally during a future patch (likely during 11.0 content) will receive a quest that unlocks the three additional hatchling colors. Collect Flash, Gale, and Thundo (pictured above) by completing this short quest chain. Check out patf0rd's screenshot for a quick glimpse of the upcoming quest.
This is certainly an unexpected yet welcome surprise. Who would have guessed that The War Within Epic Edition would reward not just one but four bonus pets? Now if only we could summon all of them at the same time...oh well, we can dream!
We'll add these three new baby gryphons to our database once they become collectible.
The movement is too slow on some parts, really drags the pacing down IMO slope
@slope The lack of violence in those engagements was staggering, lol, could literally FEEL the light-handed caress of the melee weapons on the mobs xD
This is one of the best posts I've read on this forum. The information in the article helped me understand more about a new topic that I had never known. Connections NYT
Works out to only ten dollars per Gryphon. Blizzard is sure pushing the Epic Edition premium price.
That's a great bonus surprise!
