No More Scorchling ? : (

[SpiritBinder]

From what I've been reading it looks like the Fire Festival scorchling has been replaced this year with "Ice chip" The little Ice Elemental. (even though he looks more like a rock one) If it's true I will be so very, very sad as I never got to collect the little scorchling, Oh and he was so cute

Can anyone else confirm or deny this?

[Suicune]

I was looking at this myself, as sadly, I too hadn't gotten the scorchling in the past years

[Congafury]

Same here, i opened a ticket to a gm, hopefully we will get the answer by the evening..

[SpiritBinder]

Oh if you could let us all know what the GM says, that would be ever so grand, I'm affraid it still does not look good though

[cowmuflage]

the ice elemental looks pretty cool and kinda makes more sence when you think about it why would a big ice guy drop a fire pet? i can see you buying it but from a huge ice guy not so much.

[SpiritBinder]

Oh I totally get an ice pet dropping from an ice boss, but for me it's just the fact that the scorchling looks to be no longer obtainable, and as a collector, tis a little devastating.

[Allua]

Maybe they will move it to vendor's items like they did with the wisp mini-pet? (I remember the time when you had to visit the fires in different dungeons to get it, I did it solo with invisibility pots and FD at lvl 60, was lots of fun.)

At least I hope so, as I saw it drop only once last year and lost the roll.

[Aleu]

Apparently the Scorchling has been retired and bag you get from the daily has a chance to drop the little ice pet along with the Scythe.

However, it seems the Scorchling isn't coming back. =( (Thankfully I got mine last year. >_>)

[Fael]

That really frustrates me! I've been farming for the little guy every single day since Ahune was out and my RNG luck is just quite rotten. The bag system is frustrating enough with only one try a day, and now they got rid of him? Ahh it's too much. :p

I've been looking around at comments hoping to prove otherwise. Some on wowhead about the bag drops are like this:

"the scorchling does drop bag from forums ive read, the spirit of summer is the pet u can buy"

"They merely balanced out the pets for the event since it is Fire and Ice themed. Both pets are a part of the Holiday drops now, its a matter of daily RNG which you get though."

I really hope it's still around.

[Kalliope]

On my first run, a friend got the new pet from his bag. No sign of the scorchling yet.

[Dewclaw]

I hope the scorchling is still around.

[Saturo]

The scorchling is buyable for 350 "emblems".

[Kalliope]

The scorchling is buyable for 350 "emblems".

That's the Spirit of Summer pet.

MMO and Wowhead users have been saying that the scorchling drops in the bag, but I haven't seen anyone post and say "yes, I had one drop for me." >_<

[Saturo]

Ah.

I usually don't do the seasonal thingies, so I didn't know that. I just hate the torchthrowing so. Damn. Much.

[Kalliope]

Yeah, it's a totally different pet. The spirit looks like a red wisp.....which is cool, but it's not the scorchling. >_< It's such a tease!

[SpiritBinder]

/weep

[Dizzy]

unless the scorchling is from the flower vendor, there's no scorchling, but now the ice-elemental pet :\

Sad, i wanted a scorchling too ; ;

[Congafury]

Grr, i'm at work and i have to attend a meeting with the head of EU parliament in my Uni, can't wait till evening, though i think the news won't be good

on the other hand - why retire it??:(

and i missed my Spirit of competition aswell:(

[Vephriel]

Well, one of the recent comments from Warcraft Pets was:

"Guildie did Ahune & the boss dropped the Scorchling & his bag dropped Frigid Frostling."

Perhaps we're not out of luck yet? I suppose we can only wait and see.

[Golden]

Yes, there were some comments on MMO-Champion about the Scorchling still dropping, too. <3
