Two New Pets Available!
The patch also brings with it 2 new pets to collect, level, and battle!
Felbat Pup - This pet can be earned during the Demon Invasion Event, the prelaunch event for Legion. It will be purchased with the new currency called Nethershards that you get from completing invasions. Remember, this pet is only available for a limited time, so get out there and help take down the Legion!
Nursery Spider - This new spider can be purchased from Breanni in Dalaran for 200g.
Special Note About Some of Our Pet Battle Strategies:
Please keep in mind that some of these changes make a few of our strategies involving the
Pandaren Water Spirit unreliable or simply outdated now. We will be
fine tuning these strategies in the near future to reflect these
changes. However, even with the changes in patch 7.0.3, many of our strategies are
still working. Battle on!
