Farming Rare Mounts and Pets in World of Warcraft: Classic Season of Discovery Phase 2

With the release of the much-awaited and anticipated - WoW Classic: Season of Discovery Phase 2, in this blog, we are going to be exploring the tips and tricks for farming rare mounts and pets in the game during this phase.

About Rare Mounts/Pets

Everyone knows that having a rare mount in WoW Classic SoD is a symbol of the player's dedication, commitment, and skill! It is a way for you to showcase your accomplishments. However, that is not the only purpose of having them. In battle, the higher the rarity of the player's mount, the higher the player's advantage.

Rare mounts have unique abilities that can help a player in PvP and PvE scenarios, granting boosted speed, higher damage, etc. While the same can be said for acquiring rare pets in the game, they are much more difficult to obtain and require patience and a good strategy to get your hands on one of them!

Rare Mounts: Tips and Tricks

With the release of Phase 2, two new mounts have been added to the game – Saber Tooth Tiger mount and Raptor mount. These are level 40 mounts and can be bought using the currency earned in the event, 'The Blood Moon' in Stranglethorn Vale.

As the minimum level requirement to be able to get mounts is 40, players were not able to get mounts in Phase 1. However, Phase 2 has news of new mounts.

• Horde Ashenvale Mount: The Horde Ashenvale Mount is the - Trainee's Outrider Wolf. While this mount costs 10 gold, it gives the player a 50% increase in movement speed! To obtain this mount, you will need to reach a 'Friendly' with the Warson Gulch reputation. This can be achieved through the new World PvP Event or by fighting on the Warsong Gulch's battlefield. It can then be bought from Kem Hargunth. 

• Alliance Ashenvale Mount: This mount also costs the player 10 gold, while it gives a 50% boost in movement speed. Similar to the Horde Ashenvale Mount, you will need to reach a 'Friendly' reputation with the Silverwing Sentinels. Then, by talking to Illiyana Moonblaze who resides in Ashenvale, west of The Barrens, and paying her the required amount of gold, you can claim the mount – Trainee's Sentinel Nightsaber.

Although the ability to obtain mounts, as well as mounts in Season of Discovery itself, is limited, with the release of Phase 2 we can look forward to many newer and rarer mounts going forward!

Rare Pets: Tips and Tricks

When farming rare pets in the game, a player has to have a good strategy and perfect knowledge of the pet they are trying to tame. Here are some general tips every player can utilise and work on in order to farm any pet they have their eyes on!

• Research and Location: It is very important and I repeat, very important to know the exact location of the place where a particular pet is said to spawn! You should research and find the coordinates beforehand.

For example: The Cat is a great Hunter pet, also a rarity and preferred by almost every player in the game! It deals the highest damage per second as compared to any other Hunter pet. To obtain it, one must find the Crazy Cat Lady in Elwynn forest and earn her trust by completing the tasks assigned by her.

• Designated Spot Farming: Selected rare pets only spawn in a specific location for a limited amount of time, whether it be dungeons, different zones, or battle areas. Players must make sure there are no mobs, enemies, or any danger surrounding the specific location and farm the spot till the pet spawns.

For example, The Devilsaur is a rare and much popular Hunter pet in SoD. Found in the Un'Goro Crater, this pet spawns only for a limited amount of time in several locations. However, it is most frequently spotted in the Fire Plume Ridge area. It is best to group up to keep this pet at bay while taming it. It has the ability of "Monstrous Bite" which deals high damage to the enemy.

Auction House Monitoring: The infamous Auction House has always served as a shortcut for players looking to find valuable items, pets, and other such obtainables at a very affordable price! Players should keep an eye on the Auction House incase they find the pet they are looking for being sold at a reasonable rate. 

Utilising Add-ons: Utilising add-ons can be a great way to find rare pets with little to no effort! There are several add-ons available in the WoW Classic: SoD community that have the following abilities:

• Spawn Notifications: Using such an add-on notifies you whenever it detects a rare pet that may have spawned in your area or zone. This can help you quickly travel to its location to tame it before the pet re-spawns at a different location.

• Location Tracker: Aside from pets that spawn/re-spawn at different location randomly, some rare pets stay in their designated location without re-spawning. The location tracking add-on is made specifically for these types of rare pets as it can give you the location of the pet instantly saving your time.

Make sure that the add-ons you use comply with the terms and conditions of the official game.

Taming Strategy: It is obvious that only locating and farming rare pets is not enough to completely obtain the desired pet. Once the player has located the respective pet they wish to have, they need to first tame it. Although taming a pet may sound easy, it is not as easy of a task to execute.

• Before taming a pet, the player must make sure to kill off any mobs, enemies, or even other hunters looking to snag away the pet from them. Doing this will ensure that there will be no interruptions once the taming process begins.

• To be able to tame a pet, the players must obtain the 'Tame Beast' ability which is achieved once the player reaches level 10. Without this, the player will be unable to obtain any pet. 

• Once the taming process has begun, the pet may try to run away or interrupt this process completely. To avoid this, one must study everything thoroughly about the pet's character, its movements, and its reactions to threats. Only then will the player be able to obtain the pet soundly.

Gold, the in-game currency of the game also plays an important role in the WoW Classic SoD, and the same will happen with phase 2 too. So make sure you have enough stock of the same. If you are falling short of the gold, get it for real money from reputed and trusted seller MMOPixel.
