Pet Battles
- Clarification on Strumpet’s question from E2 (re: how to identify pet tiers out in the wild)
- There are two types of “rare” pets: Quality vs. Spawn.
- Any pet that you can battle has a chance to be of “rare” quality.
- Check health of pets you can battle in a particular zone. If a pet has more than average, then chances are it is rare.
- AddOn called “Battle Pet – Quality Notifier”
- The quality / rarity of the wild pet
- If the pet species is an upgrade in quality (Upgrade)
- If you don’t have that species (Not Owned)
- World tooltips show what you currently have in journal when mouseover wild pets. This includes quality and level

News
- Windsong and Elemental Force Information
- http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/6893549789#1
- Recent hotfix to both the Windsong and Elemental Force enchants to improve their performance.
- Windsong is a weapon enchant that will “sometimes increase your critical strike, haste, or mastery by 1,500 for 12 sec when dealing damage with spells and melee attacks. Requires a level 372 or higher item.”
- Blizzard community manager Daxxarri now claims that Windsong is now a useful enchant for all classes and specs (save Hunters who use scopes and Death Knights who use Runeforging) since it will trigger on all damage or healing, be it spell, melee, or ranged, and direct or periodic. Elemental Force will also trigger from all damage, so is useful for all damage dealers.
- To create the enchant, you’ll need 12 Spirit Dust (2.5g ea) and 1 Ethereal Shard (30g), a total of 60g.
- Currently selling for about 150g
