New Pet Battle Dungeon: Stratholme

It’s time to marshal your menagerie and put your best battle pets forward in the undead streets of Stratholme, a new Pet Battle Dungeon with Normal and Challenge difficulties.

To get started on your journey, you’ll need to have earned the achievement All Growns Up! (have one level-25 pet) for Normal difficulty or Pro Pet Group (have 15 level-25 pets) for Challenge difficulty. This will open up a new quest from Tizzy Gearjolt in Boralus or Fuselock in Dazar’alor. You won’t need to complete the previous pet battle dungeons to gain access, and once the upcoming Rise of Azshara content update hits, you’ll be able to play through all four pet battle dungeons in any order.

You’ll find pets from the undead, dragonkin, and magic families in Stratholme. You’ll be able to heal and revive your pets between each of the 12 stages in Normal difficulty, but not in Challenge difficulty.

Defeating the dungeon on Normal difficulty will earn players an Ultimate Battle-Training Stone. You’ll also be able to avail yourself of Manapoof’s aid to teleport directly to Stratholme’s 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: Stratholme along with the Minimancer pet. Completing Challenge difficulty will count toward a weekly quest that rewards Cleansed Remains, an account-bound currency that you redeem for an Unopened Stratholme Supply Crate filled with pet supplies, or four new pets—Ziggy, Crypt Fiend, Shrieker, and Gruesome Belcher. Speak with Sean Wilkers at the entrance of the dungeon to add one of these spooky fiends to your ranks.

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 chilling experiment are they conducting in Baron Rivendare’s slaughterhouse? Will you come upon an opportunity to take the fight to them?

Discover what awaits your critter pals next in Stratholme!

PvP Brawls - Deepwind Dunk

Can you even dunk? If you want to win this brawl, you’re going to need to work on your skills because Dunkball has come to Pandaria. You’ll race to claim balls from the map’s center, or northern, or southern mines, take them to your enemy’s base, and then go for a magnificent long range shot or go all in for the dunk.

They might aswel increase the world boss ilvl drops at this point.

Right? I find it so awkward that a WQ for a raid level monster rewards 355 gear, while down the path you can solo a non-elite beast for 365 gear.

[huehuehue]

agreed, or rethink world boss design if they think it's too quick of a task for loot. Make it change weekly still but have a series of world quests tie in and culminate with the boss, who now drops higher loot than a random WQ.

Came here to post the same thing

[Dinousek]

My proposal would be to leave the WB at the current difficulty/ilvl as a normal WQ, but add in a series of challenging lead-in WQs that would serve as an Ulduar-style trigger for a HARD MODE phased WB with appropriate rewards. I would also recommend these have shared lockouts.

Could just add an item that would add +5 iLvl to an item you already have up to the iLvl of the current Mythic gear iLvl.

pretty much this. There really is no reason to stay subbed right now. Considering shadowbringers comes out prob at the same time as 8.2 I know where I will be spending my money.

Yes, because everyone knows Blizzard only has one team that does everything, and they've been wasting their time doing a pet dungeon instead of finishing and releasing 8.2 to us. Also, how dare they make an announcement about something I'm not interested in. How dare they? /s

Oh I wasn't quite so serious, I have about 111 reasons to stay subbed and not play FFXIV.

[Kyphael]

Cool, I just finished the Gnomeregan pet battle dungeon. Stratholme will be fun.
