Tides of Vengeance Pets – 8.1

In Tides of Vengeance, we’ll be getting a new pet battle dungeon, an updated Smoochums model (which was later reverted back to its fluffy spectral model) and a whole heap of pets to add to our collections.

Faction Assault

Look for the world quest Battle Bots during the Faction Assault in Vol’dun. Two elites (Dookthar the Destroyer and Arachni) will be battling it out on a bridge (41.84. 42.32) but you can speed up the process by handing in Alkalescent Salt as part of the WQ. This fills up their energy bar giving them more energy to win. The winning side can loot a cache containing one of three materials needed to build the pet below:

Rebuilt Gorilla Bot (A)- collect 3 items from Dookthar the Destroyer

• • Handful of Glass Spider Eyes
  • Steel-Plated Arachnid Exoskeleton
  • Mecha-Spinneret

Rebuilt Mechanical Spider (H) – collect 3 items from Arachni

• • Banana-Shaped Power Cell
  • Steel-Plated Primate Exoskeleton
  • Bludgeoning-Resistant Chest Reinforcer

You can sometimes hand in salt and loot the barrel in the middle of the bridge even if the WQ isn’t up. (see video)

Gnomeregan

The pet battle dungeon has several new pets which can be purchased from the vendor, in addition to the one you receive after completing the scenario on challenge mode. Check out the playlist if you’re interested in any of my strategies.
