Patch 8.3 PTR - New Pet Battle Dungeon: Blackrock Depths



Originally Posted by blizzard (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)
It’s time to marshal your menagerie and put your best battle pets forward in the volcanic labyrinth of Blackrock Depths, a new Pet Battle Dungeon with Normal and Challenge difficulties available with the release of Visions of N’Zoth.

At long last, we’ve discovered the secret headquarters of the sinister group that has been conducting vile experiments on critters across Azeroth. Soon, Pet Battle Dungeon challengers will be able to embark on the final fight to stop their machinations and reveal the truth behind this shadowy organization.

To get started on your journey, you’ll need to have completed the four previous Pet Battle Dungeon quests: “Wailing Critters,” “The Deadmines Strike Back,” “Gnomeregan's New Guardians,” and “Tiny Terrors of Stratholme.” Once all four quest lines have been completed at Normal or Challenge difficulty, you’ll be able to accept a new quest from Tizzy Gearjolt in Boralus or Radek Fuselock in Dazar’alor and begin your Blackrock Depths pet battle journey.

Pets from just about every family will stand against you in Blackrock Depths, so you’ll need to come prepared with a variety of your own to succeed. You’ll be able to heal and revive your pets between each of the 9 stages in Normal difficulty, but not in Challenge difficulty.

Defeating the dungeon on Normal difficulty will earn players an Ultimate Battle-Training Stone and unlock Challenge difficulty. You’ll also be able to avail yourself of Manapoof’s aid to teleport directly to Blackrock Depths’ dungeon entrance as a part of the quest reward.

Those who prove themselves to be the very best on Challenge difficulty will earn the achievement Pet Battle Challenge: Blackrock Depths along with Shadowy Disguise, a toy that disguises you as a shadowy figure for 15 seconds.

Completing Challenge difficulty will count toward a weekly quest that rewards Shadowy Gems, an account-bound currency that you redeem for an Unopened Blackrock Supply Crate filled with pet supplies, or for three new pets—Wailing Lasher, Experiment 13, and Tinyclaw. Speak with Burt Macklyn at the entrance of the dungeon to add one of these powerful fiends to your ranks.


Completing all five Pet Battle Dungeons (Wailing Caverns, The Deadmines, Gnomeregan, Stratholme, and Blackrock Depths) on Challenge difficulty will reward you with The Shadows Revealed achievement and the Mayhem Mind Melder toy which lets you take control of your companion pet for 30 seconds.

Whether you’re new to pet battle dungeons or a companion-combat veteran, you’ll want to get in on the ongoing story as it unfolds. Who are the shadowy figures that keep appearing in each pet battle dungeon? What exactly have they been building with all of the parts they’ve collected from Pet Battle Dungeons over the years?

Discover what awaits your critter pals next in Blackrock Depths!

    I hope Blizzard hasn't chosen to repeat the mistake of pets not being able to be caged, as they did with Stratholme.

    Blizzard utterly fucked server balance from day 1 with the name reserves, and did nothing whatsoever to correct it. They deserve every ounce of criticism and bashing they've been getting for it. Letting people reserve names on more than 1 server was a mistake. Only having a handful of servers to choose from when reservations opened was a mistake. Allowing more and more and more ppl to join servers that were already riddled with faction imbalance was a mistake.

    But I think the biggest mistake was not having the servers fill like water in a cup, with a hard cap and new characters overflowing into the next one.

    Because splitting guilds in a social game is better idea, no

    No, it's only to one particular server for each server.

    1. You wanted classic, you got the classic launch experience. Bad and crowded and then fuck tons of transfers. Furthermore, your idea is so laughable atrocious, I wish you would delete it.

    Oh look, I'm player 5000, and my friend was 5001. OFF TO ANOTHER SERVER YOU GO FRIEND I GUESS ILL SEE YOU IN ANOTHER LIFE!

    The gnomeregan one was so brutal I can't even fathom doing this one without a guide.

    Get your counters ready during this week with bonus pet battle xp and darkmoon faire trainers. Looks like mostly elementals, dragons and mechanicals for the new dungeon but i'd expect to encounter a couple of every other type too.

    Hopefully the solution to this dungeon won't be another version of "Train about two dozen rabbits"

    A toy as a reward for completing all 5 pet battle dungeons? Lame.

    The toy might be lame but it’s worth doing them all at least once even if you hate pet battles just for the ability to teleport to each dungeon entrance. Super convenient time saver.

    After you complete the dungeon, you only need to talk to the npc at the pet shop in new Dalaran or Boralus to get an option to teleport to deadmines, wailing caverns, stratholme, gnomeregan, and now presumably Blackrock which will be welcome. It’s also account wide so you only need to do it on one character and every toon benefits.
