Battle Pet Book Update

Unread post by Kurasu »

Something that I noticed on the PTR:

You can now sort your pets by yet another criteria. That is to say if you search the book for a specific move (say, 'Burrow'), it will bring up not only the pets with 'Burrow' in their name... but pets who have the *move* of that name.

So if you're trying to figure out what pets have what technique, that should help a *lot* in finding a good selection.

Take a look! Here's me searching for the ability 'Decoy':

For some reason I thought the search did this on live too, but I must have imagined it. Handy, anyway :)

Nope! You can filter where to *get* the various things (typing 'Shadowmoon' will bring up those pets that are found in Shadowmoon Valley as well as the ones with 'Shadowmoon' in their name) but not the specific 'by move' part of it.

It might be an addon. Personally, I have like 4 battle pet addons, and I'm not sure which one does what, but I know at least one of them improves the book's search and sort options a lot.

Oh yeah, it could well be the pet add-on I was using. :)
