Mend Pet

Disclaimer: This post was accurate as of patch 3.2.

This is a guide for the set of achievements for mini-pets:

• [Can I Keep Him?]
• [Plenty of Pets]
• [Plethora of Pets]
• [Shop Smart, Shop Pet... Smart] *rewards a mini-pet
• [Lil' Game Hunter] *rewards a mini-pet

As a hunter, a Beast Master hunter at that, pets are very important to me.  And while companion pets won’t fight by my side, I still do like those cute little guys!

However, I never went out of my way to get a lot of pets.  Probably because my bag space was valuable to me, and I didn’t want to waste it.

But now that isn’t an issue, and with a nice reward like [Reeking Pet Carrier], there’s nothing stopping me from finding myself 50 little companions!

Here’s a list of all the companions in order of difficulty to obtain (assuming gold isn’t difficult to come by).   I’ve bolded my companions in the list below, in case you are curious.

Let’s start with Vendor and Crafted BoE pets.  Everyone can get these.  Getting the pets from the opposite faction might be difficult if you don’t have any friends on the other side, or aren’t on a PvE server.  However, they ARE BoE so can be learned by either faction.

If you are planning on picking them up yourself and using the neutral Auction House, keep in mind that you cannot buy from your own account on the neutral AH.  You will need a middle man – someone you can trust.

Vendor (Both Factions)

• [Blue Dragonhawk Hatchling] (Netherstorm)
• [Brown Rabbit Crate] (Netherstorm)
• [Cat Carrier (Siamese)] (Netherstorm, Drop in Deadmines)
• [Mana Wyrmling] (Netherstorm)
• [Red Moth Egg] (Netherstorm)
• [Cockroach] (Netherstorm (Both), Undercity (Horde))
• [Crimson Snake] (Netherstorm (Both), Orgrimmar (Horde))
• [Parrot Cage (Cokatiel)] (Stranglethorn Vale)
• [Parrot Cage (Senegal)] (Stranglethorn Vale)
• [Ancona Chicken] (Thousand Needles)
• [Ghostly Skull] (Dalaran Sewers)
• [Obsidian Hatchling] (Dalaran)

Vendor (Horde)

• [Golden Dragonhawk Hatchling] (Eversong Woods)
• [Red Dragonhawk Hatchling] (Eversong Woods)
• [Silver Dragonhawk Hatchling] (Eversong Woods)
• [Black Kingsnake] (Orgrimmar)
• [Brown Snake] (Orgrimmar)
• [Prairie Dog Whistle] (Thunder Bluff)

Vendor (Alliance)

• [Rabbit Crate (Snowshoe)] (Dun Morogh)
• [Cat Carrier (Bombay)] (Elwynn Forest)
• [Cat Carrier (Cornish Rex)] (Elwynn Forest)
• [Cat Carrier (Orange Tabby)] (Elwynn Forest)
• [Cat Carrier (Silver Tabby)] (Elwynn Forest)
• [Cat Carrier (White Kitten)] (Stormwind City, Rare Vendor)
  • Timmy and his kitten are pretty rare, if you’re alliance you’ll probably run into him once in a while, but you might also want to keep an eye on the Auction House for this cat.  You can see the path he follows HERE.
• [Great Horned Owl] (Teldrassil)
• [Hawk Owl] (Teldrassil)
• [Blue Moth Egg] (The Exodar)
• [White Moth Egg] (The Exodar)
• [Yellow Moth Egg] (The Exodar)

Crafted

• [Mechanical Squirrel Box] (Engineering 75)
• [Tranquil Mechanical Yeti] (Engineering 250)
• [Lifelike Mechanical Toad] (Engineering 265)
  • This schematic is not easy to come by, it drops from Onyxia.

Quest Rewards

If you have already done the quest and have destroyed the item, the quest giver should be able to give you a new one.

• [Sprite Darter Egg] (Feralas, Alliance Only – Drop for Horde)
• [Chicken Egg] (Westfall)
  • While the quest can only be completed by Alliance, Horde can pick up the egg from the ground when the quest is completed.  Just need co-operation with someone of the opposite faction.
• [Mechanical Chicken] (Stranglethorn Vale)
  • This requires you to complete the 3 OOX quests first.  If you are unsure about which of the 3 you have completed, a GM will tell you if you petition them.  This is also BoE, so it’s possible to find on the AH or trade it.
• [Miniwing] (Terokkar Forest)
• [Smolderweb Carrier] (Blackrock Spire)
• [Worg Carrier] (Blackrock Spire)
  • A great guide to getting to these quests can be found at Letters from Birdfall.

Reputation

• [Nether Ray Fry] (Shatari Skyguard, Exalted)
• [Tiny Sporebat] (Sporeggar, Exalted)
• [Nurtured Penguin Egg] (Kalu’ak, Exalted)
• [Cobra Hatchling] (Oracles, reward from [Cracked Egg])
• [Proto-Drake Whelp] (Oracles, reward from [Cracked Egg])
• [Tickbird Hatchling] (Oracles, reward from [Cracked Egg])
• [White Tickbird Hatchling] (Oracles, reward from [Cracked Egg])

Drops

Most of these can be found on the Auction House, but be prepared to pay a hefty sum.  The price ranges vary significantly, so you might get lucky, but don’t count on it.
