Fractures in Time brings more pets and models to collect and a new questline and dailies to help keep us occupied. Do you have what it takes to look after five whelps at the daycare centre in Valdrakken? There are ten pets to collect, a toy and a few achievements too.

Little Scales Daycare

The dragons have more eggs than they can handle, so they’ve called in the crew at the Little Scales Daycare to help. The crew quickly finds itself overwhelmed and so has asked for a little help from their friends—you. You’ll guide five dragon whelps as they grow and learn about the dragon flights, earn Renown, and more.

Whelp Daycare

It starts with a drool-soaked note, delivered by Herald Flaps who can pop up anywhere in the Dragon Isles. The whelps won’t have any stats, but there are five battle pets to collect – a friend for each whelp. The entire questline will take 16 days to complete.

  1. Eggs in Abundance
  2. Whelptender’s Wisdom
  3. Daycare Director Agapanthus
  4. Snack Run, A Nurturing Environment and A Lesson in Responsibility
  5. The Obsidian Hatchling
  6. Warmth and Comfort – make sure you’ve completed the campaign at the Obsidian Throne because you will need to interact with one of the NPCs near Sabellian and Wrathion.
  7. A Home-Cooked Meal – cook Thrice-Spiced Mammoth Kabob to learn the Roast Duck Delight recipe. I only needed to cook it once. Don’t forget you can use Pierre as a cooking fire.
  8. Tag, You’re Anxious
  9. What’s a Duck?
  10. iggyA Solid Pet rewards Iggy – Solid and dependable, Iggy is always ready for a fierce battle or a gentle metaphor.

  15. You’re Playing Wrong!

  18. Patience, Please rewards Belastrasza – Bela has learned some humility since you first met her, so she likely won’t boss you around too much.

  21. Artisanal Aging
  22. Here? There? Everywhere!
  23. Sneezing Through Time

  35. Hochenblume Harvest – requires 5x Hochenblume (rank 2)

Ten thousand years spent floating in a time stasis is quite a bit of time to work on material.

From the flavour text, this sounds like a particular genie from Aladdin and reminds me of the tribute to Robin Williams back in Warlords of Draenor.

Racial Pet

neltharaNelthara – this pet requires a level 70 Dracthyr who has completed the Adamanthia storyline (see video)

While it doesn’t matter what your spec is when you pick up the initial quest, make sure you’re specced into Augmentation for the final quest Augmenting a Dragon because you’ll need to use Ebon Might and Blistering Scales
