Raiding with Leashes: Wrath of the Lich King

[Drilnos]

Judging from the pets coming in 7.1, it looks like this is finally coming up. First, the obvious ones:

Ironbound Proto-Whelp: Razorscale
Snobold Runt: Beasts of Northrend
Winter Rageling: Hodir
Nerubian Swarmer: Anub'arak
Runeforged Servitor: Iron Council
Igneous Flameling: Ignis
Creeping Tentacle: Gonna go out on a limb here and guess Yogg.
Boneshard: Almost certainly a Lil' Marrowgar

Some others have less obvious bosses.

G0-R41-0N Ultratonk: Probably Mimiron, could be Flame Leviathan or XT though.
Blightbreath: Probably a mini Festergut, could be from Putricide or any boss in the plague wing.
Blood Boil: Possibly Deathbringer Saurfang, could be from Blood Queen too.
Soulbroken Whelpling: Probably Sindragosa, but could be Valithria.

Some may or may not even be in there:
Sanctum Cub: Auriaya?
Snaplasher: Freya?
Stardust: Algalon?
Squire/Gruntling: Faction Champs?
Dreadmaw: ???

Drudge Ghoul and Wicked Soul both feel like Arthas drops, but if precedent holds, there can be only one. Wicked Soul might be the meta reward.

What's everyone else think?

From what I gather the Snowbold isn't part of the achievement as it's a VERY low drop.

The Specral Bunny isn't a drop either. Once you've completed the achievement, you'll pet battle Algalon instead and if you beat him you win it as a reward.

I guess that'll learn me for not going to wowhead first.

Dreadmaw also feels like Beasts of Northrend (Acidmaw and Dreadscale combined?), and we've had encounters with more than one drop from a boss before - Reliquary of Souls in the Black Temple.

AFAIK this was mentionned in the comments section. I always look into the comments, they are often very useful.

Time to dust off my Alts and start running old raids :3

[Mandible]

really not a fan of putting new RNG stuff into old content that's been otherwise outplayed.

You know the game is called "world of warcraft" not "latest new land mass of warcraft" - even though some previous expansions could lead you to believe otherwise.

[Deleted]

Oh god no. I don't want to visit those raids ever again. I farmed them when they were current, then I farmed them for the mount drops and recently for the transmogs. Now they add another RNG to that? Screw it, I'm going to buy those pets when they drop in price.

It's entirely optional.

Can't wait for them to go live.

[Leih]

Good excuse to run some of these for more mogs, so I'm ok with this.

[ItachiZaku]

I hate ugly ass shit long Ulduar. At least maybe i'll get my sooty shoulders.

[Malacrass]

The majority of those pets will be dirt cheap due to Mimiron's head farmers (not everyone abuses the CRZ trick), so I wouldn't worry too much about farming Ulduar again.

Same deal with the ICC pets, Invicible is still heavily farmed.

I don't know any single Yogg/Arthas farmer who don't use saved lockouts. Clearing entire instance is just huge wasting of time.

Then you got some well informed friends.

Apart from the masses who don't frequent sites like MMO Champion, I know people who run that place on every armor class just for transmog reasons.

The mentioned pets will be around 50-100 gold a pop, at best, similar to the Sunwell Plateau pets.
