AIEE; I have a dilemma. I'm a pet away from [Veteran Nanny], and Legs isn't on the list -.- So 30 points to add to my already quite substantial amount, or get the gorgeous lil Legs...it wouldn't be so much of a problem if I wasn't anywhere near my competitor (She has about 10400 APs, I have about 10200), so I'm thinking I might choose Legs...The pets will put me up to 144 companions, squee! <3

Are the Northrend ones broken again? x_X

I just did the full quest chain for the Wolvar pup....and....nothing at the end. I have the Oracle hatchling from two years back. Wasn't able to get the Wolvar last year with the glitch.


EDIT: Nevermind! Got him in the mail! :D

Do you get a mini pet for the Orgrimmar ones or no? D: Or can you even do the ones in Org anymore? o.o

You can still do the Org and SW ones, and they've updated to reflect the new content... Super cool quests. :)

There's also a new companion reward from SW--a snail!! <3 I'm so giddy right now, I got my oracle, Legs and Scooter. :D

The Cairne quest was so sad :'( My favourite WoW character ever.

I got Scooter, the Oracle hatchling and Peanut on my main, and only the turtle on my shaman 'cause he's too low level =)

Whats sad is if your on a Oceanatic server the calender says it starts on the sunday for us yet it allways starts on the monday after. It's stupid that we still use the US time frame. SO I have to do this later today

I think the Oracle hatchling will be out forever with me. I just love his cute letter and everytime I click on the companion he does those funny sounds...love him! :D

Managed to get 3/4 requirements for School of Hard Knocks last night....only Eye of the Storm left. Ugh, I'm not a PvPer. I'll be so happy to finally get this achievement finished. I never even bothered trying it before, but I'm determined to stop being lazy and get all the metas I can this year.

EDIT: Oh dear god I did it. No idea how I managed to keep that flag, but I don't care...achivement is finished, NEVER AGAIN! xD

Lesson Learned: Never let an Orc kid take control of a rocket.

I thought about getting the title on my Shaman, but remembered School of Hard Knocks (RANTRANT). Yeah, no. I've done it twice. I'm not doing it again. >>;

well...the pvp was hell...the Eye of whatever was the easiest, got that on the 2nd que, flag, cheetah, run cap done. Arathi was hell on earth since no-one was co-operating on either side, took 4 runs. AV I thought would be really hard, but turned out to be really easy. 1st que, no luck but in the 2nd que a group of us beckoned some horde up to the tower so we could all take turns assulting the tower. It was fun. WSG which I thought would be thee hardest since I'd never managed to be quick enough to return a flag, first run no luck, but the 2nd run an awsome goblin knab'd the flag and immediatly dropped it and stepped back and let us return it, and she kept doing it again and again, we where all /bow ing her. And that completed my "What a long strange trip its been" Achive. I now have an awsome violet proto-drake and the really fast flying!

Now I just have to go do the orphan quests and get my mini-pets, got scooter the snail last night to, on to northrend for my wolver and then to shattrah for legs

Veph To cover your 3 posts on this topic (since I wanted to):

1: That pic of Legs looks awesome, I love how you got a Strider in the background as well. Such great context on the mini-pet and a dress to match :)

2: Yeah they mail you the mini-pet for Wolvar/Oracles

3. Ugh I liked/disliked that PVP acheivement. I found the AV one to probably be the hardest (though I was lucky on my 1st toon this year (doing it on 2) to get it in the first AV). I just rode all the way up north to the northern bunkers, luckily alot of alliance were probably doing the same... Eots can be difficult if you keep getting horrible groups too. I generally just try and sneak in a flag-steal amongst all the ruckus
