Xu-Fu's Pet Battle Strategies

In this addition to the series of pet battle dungeons, we are revisiting the old home town of the Gnomes: Gnomeregan!

To start your journey through this dungeon, head over to Radek Fuselock in Dazar’alors “Hall of Beasts” if you're Horde or Tizzy Gearjolt at Boralus’ “Ruff Waters” for Alliance players. The breadcrumb leads you directly to the instance entrance of Gnomeregan, where you will meet Micro Zoox who will offer you the instance quests, start the queue for it and also sell you pets related to the Gnomeregan dungeon!

Your first playthrough grants an Ultimate Battle-Training Stone, and following runs in the Challenge Mode (no healing) give the new currency Pristine Gizmo which is used to buy pets from Micro Zoox.

El acceso al telepuerto de Manapoof es una de las recompensas de completar Normal. Así que cuando lo hayas completado una vez (la 1º vez, la de la quest) te dará la posibilidad de viajar con su ayuda.

One thing that would have come in REALLY handy at the top of this page is requirements ... spent about a half hour running all over the place looking for the quest giver because I had the ? on the map, only to find out that a level 103 is not high enough!

Hmm well I notice a lot of mechanical pets to battle, some undead, some beast, some critter, and some elemental. So go out and make sure you have a bunch of their respective pets to do the challenge mode

Thank you so much for the strats. Worked beautifully on my first-yes-I've-been-stalling run through, so it'll make the regular runs for currency that much faster.

If the strats on this page can be used for the Challenge Mode too, why didn't you make a list of all pets used so we can put pets other than those in the fights with 'extra slots' ? I miss that, unless those strat aren't final, but it would save a lot of page viewing just to pinpoint those pets.

Some substitutes:
Tiny Shale Spider can replace a Shale Hatchling, or use a double of any other Shale Hatchling.
Silkbead Snail and Rusty Snail can replace any of the other snails, or use any snail you have double.
Emmigosa can be used instead of Azure Whelpling.
Golden/Silver Dragonhawk Hatchling can replace Red / Blue Dragonhawk Hatchling.
Withers can replace a Teldrassil Sproutling or Ruby Sapling.
Tainted Cockroach can be replaced with ~20 other cockroaches/beetles.

The "default" is different for each person, I believe, if they have imported their pets. It chooses what strat you have pets for or are closest. I've seen my suggested strats change as my pet collection grows.

Exactly what JestersTear wrote. That's why the "top" strategy doesn't exist anymore, it's different for every user. The tables I had previously don't work anymore with that new system and need a re-make.

Not sure about horde but the pet next to Tizzy in Boralus will send to any of the dungeons.

Only problem I see with the crab/rabbit/forge strats is in challenge mode you cannot mend and some of the fights they do die. Even with 3 of each of them it will be difficult.

there are at least 6-7 of each of various breeds, shouldn't be that hard to get quite a few and mix in a few nukes

Saw a post on wowhead that said you could logout and onto an alt and then use bandages to heal pets between fights, then log back in on the dungeon runner, apparently you stay in the dungeon doing this, haven't tested it myself yet.

I'm not sure about logging out and in. I had to log out in the middle of the dungeon and when I came back I was at the beginning and needed to do all the fights again. This was in the regular mode dungeon.

The whole point of crab and forge strats is to make them use their protective and healing abilities as efficiently as possible.

As pointed out by Valkyl on wowhead, the quest turn-in doesn't match the minimap. You have to go all the way to the dungeon entrance to find the NPC.

Found a great tip on Wowhead forums for getting to entrance if you are Horde:

"If you're horde, the ideal, death-free way of getting to Micro Zoox is the following:
- go to Grom'gol Base Camp in Nothern Stranglethorn
- take the teleport into Gnomegeran
- create a costum group and instantly leave it (or join an existing group)
- wait a minute to get teleported out of the dungeon
You'll spawn right before the NPC! No deaths, no repair costs!"

This is true and correct and so much better than trying to bumrush the guards and having to walk the gorillion miles back from the "nearest" graveyard.

Ways to get to Grom'gol faster:
* Manapoof teleport (from BofA or Dalaran) to Deadmines
* Dalaran teleporter to Karazhan
* Druid Dreamwalk to Duskwood
* Mage port to Stonard

Manapoof in Dalaran now offers to send you directly to Gnomeregan (may require you to have unlocked regular pet dungeon first?)

Yes, access to Manapoof's teleport is one of the rewards from completing Normal. So when you have completed it once, everything's fine. It's that first step ...
