Rare World of Warcraft pets aren’t as hard to find as you might think. I thought I’d compile a list for my hunters to take a look at, in case the pet bug catches them. What makes these pets rare is a skin color or availability of the pet. Some of them take a lot of work to get, but a good pet collection is something to be proud of. Have a great time collecting these hard to find little guys.
Bats
The only rare bat pets are the two white bats, both rare spawns, in Tirisfal Glades and Razorfen Kraul.

Bears
For the most part, bears have generic skins. However the diseased bears of the Western Plaguelands and the rabid grizzlies of Dragonblight have a decayed look to them.

Another very popular pet, there are several extremely rare and striking skins for cats. The white lions are very rare pets for Alliance players to get, since one can only be spawned by a Horde quest, and the other, while also a quest spawn, must be done at Level 60+ for taming purposes.

If you want some really rare and unique, tame Nuramoc. He has unique skins, really long respawn timer, respawns in different places, is level 70 and requires Beast Mastery to tame. You can be pretty sure that your one of few who have this pet.
Nuramoc
Location: Netherstorm
Level: 70
Crab
There are currently no unique crab pets available. However, since very few hunters use crabs as pets, having one at all could be considered rare.
Crocolisk
White crocolisks such as the Deviate Crocolisk and Deadmire deserve mention, though normal white crocolisks can now be tamed at high level in the Netherstorm in Outland. There is also the Sewer Beast, an especially difficult-to-find rare spawn, in the canals of Stormwind. It has only a slight change in coloration from other crocolisks.
Dragonhawk
Dragonhawks are rare creatures in and of themselves. There are general mob dragonhawks in Shadowmoon Valley, and a more difficult to acquire skin in The Botanica and Tempest Keep.

Avian Ripper

Raptor
There are quite a few distinct raptor skins, though most can be found on typical mobs. Outland raptors have quite a sinister appearance. They are fairly easy to get once you reach the zone they are in, so they haven’t been included here.
Deviate Stalker
Location: Entrance to the Wailing Caverns
Level: 15-17 Elite
Takk the Leaper
Location: Around the Sludge Fen in the Barrens
Respawn timer: 4-6 hour
Level: 19 Rare Elite
Ravager
Ravager skins are widely varied, seldom with more than one mob for a particular skin. However, there are as of yet no rare spawns or particularly difficult to find ravagers, so each is about equally “rare”.
Scorpid
There are currently no unique or rare scorpid pets available.
Serpent
Serpent mobs are fairly rare. Most only appear in instances, and are elite. There is only one type of “normal” serpent, found in Shadowmoon Valley in Outland.
Razzashi Serpent

Murk Spitter
Location: Temple of Atal’Hakkar

There are only three sporebat skins currently in game, and only one of those (Sporewing) is unique.

There aren’t any unique turtle skins.
Warp Stalker
The typical warp stalker is white with purple stripes. However, there is a species with a unique coloration available in the Netherstorm.
Warp Chaser
Location: Netherstorm
Level: 67-68
Description: Blue with purple stripes and black spikes
Wind serpents
The wind serpent’s few skins that are common are in reality quite rare, since only a few rare spawns have normal pet stats. When looking for a wind serpent pet, check the Wailing Caverns.
It’s also worth noting Arikara here. While not a rare skin (it uses the easily accessible red wind serpent skin), it does have a special effect associated with it that remains after taming — whenever the hunter calls the pet, dismounts, or zones in, Arikara will arrive with the same puff of smoke and rumble that occurred when he was summoned during the quest.
Hayoc
Location: Dustwallow Marsh
Level: 41 Rare
Respawn time: Unknown
Description: White
Arash-ethis
Location: Feralas
Level: 43 Rare
Respawn time: 5-11 hours

Arikara
Location: Thousand Needles
Level: 28 Elite
Respawn time: Spawned, Horde quest.
Description: Red. Whenever called, hunter dismounts, or zones into an instance, Arikara appears in a puff of smoke with a rumble.
Wolves
Wolves are a popular pet and there are many skins. However, only a few of these skins are unique.
To all of my friends that read Wowleveler and to players of World of Warcraft everywhere, Happy Feast of Winter Veil, Merry Kwanzaa, Happy Christmas, and a Lovely Hanukkah, and may your Winter Solstice be fantastic.
World of Warcraft players everywhere, even those just beginning, are noticing ads for the powerful, all-inclusive game guide from Team Idemise called Questup. The Program is astounding! The hype is everywhere, touting it’s features. Most people, however, haven’t heard the whole story behind the product.
Just by reading this article, you’re going to learn things about the Idemise Guide that most of it’s users have no idea exist.
That is…not yet. Idemise takes an ordinary concept and adds it into this extraordinary guide that really helps you own the game experience, no matter how much or little time you might have.
The concept is called “Perfect Kill Range”.
While I don’t want to spoil the surprise ending, I will tell you that this piece of the program alone makes the whole add-on worth owning. It keeps the game interesting, fun, and most importantly keeps up the pace of the game. The truth of the matter is that the Idemise guide does seem to be more biased toward Horde leveling (probably because the developers prefer Horde characters), it lays out quest paths for any playable class, Horde or Alliance notwithstanding. A lot of leveling guides like to focus on hunters or warlocks. Not these guys. With good choices in talents, any class with any race can thrive and flourish in the World.
Team Idemise did what nobody else has done as effectively, they’re able to uncover the best quests for each class to level the most quickly and efficiently. Now, this isn’t to say that Questup is perfect. The only major downside is that the Idemise guide is geared towards ALL classes, but it doesn’t always have the class quests available. It also tends to assume you know where everything is geographically in all of the cities, regions, continents, and areas of the World. Luckily, they do include a coordinate option as well, so if you need to look up where something is, it can lead you right to it with the right coordinates. Certainly, though, the good outweighs the trying in the Idemise Guide. It’s worth a second look for ANYONE who’s serious about becoming a power-player, and especially for those who want to avoid wasting time in World of Warcraft.
Getting to level 80 is a challenge especially for novice players. But believe it or not, it is possible to ding level 80 in just under a week! There are many different approaches you can take to reach level 80 quickly. As many players say, the real game does not begin until level 80. So, how is it possible that some players can achieve what can take amateurs months in just a few days?
Power Leveling
The term power leveling is when you have a higher level player running you through instances for experience. Power leveling is arguably the fastest way to level you character if you have friends that are willing to level you. Doing this is dramatically faster than soloing and questing.
On the other hand, there are a few downsides to power leveling. For instance, how quickly you level will be determined by how quickly your power leveler kills. In essence, you will be leveling depending on how efficient your power leveler is. Not to mention that most power levelers are not online 24/7.
Power leveling is an excellent option if it is available to you.
Soloing
Soloing is the only viable way of leveling for many new players. Primarily, soloing generally means questing to reach level 80. However, this means having to look up details about each and every quest online. For many soloing can become extremely boring and tedious. To assert this issue many resort to using leveling guides.
Leveling Guides
There are many different leveling guides ranging from videos to ebooks. The guides that work the best are the ones that stand out from the rest. One leveling guide I can assure will get you on your way to 80 is Zygor’s In game Guide. This guide is highly recommended and is widely used by many World of Warcraft players.
World of Warcraft ui mods can be SUCH a pain. Don’t you just love it when you log into your WoW account and find that your beloved addons no longer work?
I think it was two or three patches ago that this happened to me. Suddenly my map addons were gone, my trade addons wouldn’t work right, and everything went kablooie. I was SO mad. It takes a lot of work to find just the right tools for your ideal gaming experience, you know? Then you get to go through and either complain to the addon’s makers, (which I always feel guilty about because they’re usually GIVING this stuff away), or you can spend the tedious time it takes to find all new ones. So you crawl all over Google, ask around on the trade chats, and whatever else you can think of to get things back to a SEMBLANCE of normalcy. Then you wait for the next update to see if you have to do it all over again.
One of these days I’ll have to post a list of my favorite addons here as a resource for people looking. Or maybe I’ll just start a support group for the “add-on abandoned anonymous” or AAA. You know you’d join.
The question still stands, How can you make an 80 on wow in two weeks? Everybody wants a lvl 80 character stacked with amazing gear and ready to pummel anyone that dares challenge them in PvP.
And most of all, they want it done FAST!
Two weeks is the fastest anyone I know personally has achieved the coveted level 80, but it may be possible to go faster. I dragged the following info out of this person (there may have been some kicking, screaming, and hair pulling to go along with it, too, but I got it for you).
1. Get a solid in-game leveling program. The idea here is that not all quests are created equal. You need to know which quests will give you the most XP in order to level faster. You also want one that’s in-game so you don’t have to switch between a document and your WoW screen all the time. My source uses Team Idemise’s Questup addon that you can learn more about by clicking here.
2. Play OFTEN. The more you play, the more you’ll level up.
3. Don’t focus on getting gold, leveling professions, or building up your gear until you hit at least level 30. Even then, focus on getting strong enough gear from the auction house to keep you alive. Remember, the goal here is speed to getting to Lvl 80, nothing else. You can always powerlevel professions and stuff later. (I’ll write an article on this another time).
4. Get some buddies to quest with you. Remember, if you’re using a good leveler, the bulk of your experience will come from turning in quests, not necessarily from killing things. If you’re concerned about taking an XP cut by working with chars that are a lot higher level than you, tell your friends to work on an alt with you for a while. You should have one of you be the guide and one be the muscle.
5. If you can get a large enough group together, make sure you collect all the quests for them and run the low-level instances. For alliance, this will mean Deadmines, Stockades, and Blackfathom Depths. If you get bored of questing, these are a good alternative as well to mix things up a little.
There you go! Five quick tips for reaching lvl 80 in around two weeks. Make sure you play often, have a good leveler, get a few good friends to help you out, and run the instances. You’ll be hearing that final Ding! in no time. Best of luck. If you have any other tips, please share them in the comments section below.
Fastest Wow Leveler? That’s an add question, isn’ t it? Not really if you’re looking for a lot of value for the price you pay for those crazy guides. If you’re like me you want to make sure that the guide you use is the best, hands down, no question. There’s a lot of debate going around the net about who has the fastest guide on the planet, though. I thought I’d lay out a few ideas to describe what would have to be the BEST leveler in the game. Here are my thoughts.
It has to be in game – You and I both know that switching between windows is annoying with such a big program. It takes much too long and wastes valuable gaming time to have to keep going back and forth to a reader program and then trying to get back into the game. Even if you print it out, you have to search for what you’re looking for. No, to me the perfect leveler will have everything in-game, and I’ll be able to hide it at will without any problems (in case I feel like goofing off or whatever).
It has to be UP-TO-DATE. What’s the point of using a guide from three patches ago. And don’t even TRY to charge me for updates. That’s not how I play.
It has to be EASY to use. If you can’t fit the instructions into the back of a playing card, I don’t have the attention, the time, or the desire to even TRY using your product. No, keep it simple.
You better have excellent support if I can’t figure out how to use the guide. Seriously, take care of me or I’m gone.
I want a guarantee attached to my leveler. You can understand that, can’t you? I probably won’t use it, but just knowing I can if you have a stinky product, that’s going to help me.
I’ve looked at a LOT of leveling guides, and the best one I’ve found that includes all of this stuff is Questup. I use Questup alliance mainly, but I promise you the Horde program works wonders too. Go check it out and see for yourself. They hold the current record as the fastest wow leveler available, too, so it won’t hurt to take a look right? Just click here to see what I’m talking about.
The fine art of leveling a priest in World of Warcraft can be a real trial. Luckily, there are some tips and tricks that will help you achieve your goals faster and easier than ever before.
Priests are one of the most under-estimated character classes in all of World of Warcraft. Luckily, you can turn this to your advantage. We’re going to talk about some tips to building a fantastic priest with some excellent leveling specifications, and which talent tree to follow, specifically between holy or discipline.
If I do my job right, you’re going to have some great ideas for getting your priest up to the level you want and need, and do it very quickly. First things first, let’s talk talent trees. If you’re more of a solo player, you’ll want to follow the “Shadow” talent tree.
I know it’s hard to follow while your working from levels 1-20, but shadow priests are REALLY good at doing a lot of damage to a lot of different targets. If you’re a solo quester, go shadow. Shadow is a diverse tree at moderate to high levels, and you’ll be able to work with it better as you progress through the game. Remember, a character is only as good as the player, so use the lower levels to really master the class. You’ll also want to advance to Spirit Tap and Mind Flay QUICK! These are two of the best tools in a shadow priests arsenal.
Eventually, you’re going to pick up Shadow Form. That’s where things get REALLY fun. Now, don’t get me wrong, I strongly endorse Shadow talents as your best bet, but you probably have some questions on Holy as well, so let’s talk a little about that.
First of all, Holy is NOT a damage dealing class, so don’t throw yourself into the fray like a crazy person. The real fun from Holy is how useful you’ll be in group quests, instances, and raids. Everyone needs a good healer, right? You’ll be welcome ANY TIME. You can still survive as a solo quester, but it is going to take you longer to level this way. Even the fastest players take longer with Holy priests. It’s just the way it is. If you are planning to solo quest, be sure you take the damage per second skills available to you, like Smite and Holy Fire. It’s important to have a LITTLE muscle to back all that faith and healing power!
Another advantage, though, is the ability to improve your gear quickly and easily when you go into high level instances. The drops are from enemies and bosses are a GOLD mine for you. Playing a priest is one of the most unique aspects of World of Warcraft and, in my humble opinion, EVERY player ought to try it at least once. Priests are almost a whole different game within the game, and they WILL make you a better WoW player. Happy Shadows and Healing!
One of the biggest problems facing World of Warcraft Players is learning to level a character quickly. Everybody has their own ways of getting experience, whether it be a questing style (meaning they complete quests for the experience) or a grinding style (meaning they kill things for the experience). This is one area most people are making a HUGE mistake. The work so hard to gain a few levels, that they get tired out before they even reach levels 20 or 30, let alone trying to get anywhere from 60-80. There are even some people who will PAY someone to level their characters for them. Don’t make this mistake.
I’m going to show you an inexpensive and easy way to get your character to level 80 as soon as possible. You can use an in-game guide built specifically for your faction to get you there as soon as possible. Horde or Alliance, you’re on your way to heroics! But what makes this guide different? Why is it worth your time?
Good question, I’m so glad you asked it.
Like I said, this guide is actually IN-GAME. No need to alt-tab between a .pdf document and your game. Every step of the way, the guide is RIGHT THERE for your reference. It’s an add-on to World of Warcraft, so all you need to do is install it into your addon folder, and you’re ready to go. It usually takes two to four minutes to set up. This program is called Questup, and it’s made by Team Idemise, who currently hold the world record as the fastest players to reach level 80, clocking in at a whopping 7 days of play time. You’ve probably heard some of the whispers about this. It’s changing everything for World of Warcraft players. It’s AMAZING, and it gives you everything you’ll need to level faster than you ever thought possible. It has all the steps, quests, and locations for everything you need to do to get to 80. It’s like having a mentor right by your side as you play. You’ll know where to go, what to do when you get there, and how to get back when you’re done.
There are waypoints on your world map and mini map telling where everything is. There was a time when this valuable tool was only available for the Alliance faction, but it’s been so successful, they’ve released a version for the Horde as well. No matter where your characters sit in the eternal struggle for Azeroth, you’ll find something to keep you interested, excited, and improving your skills, gear, and levels.
You’ve heard about from a lot of different places, and there are those who claim this can revolutionize the way we play this classic MMORPG. But what is the Team Idemise 1-80 leveling guide, and is it a scam?
Let’s start off with the what. The Team Idemise 1-80 leveling guides are addon’s that you can add to your World of Warcraft account to help you find your quests faster, find your quest items and bosses faster, and as a result, level up a LOT faster than most people can by themselves.
Team Idemise is a group of professional gamers/programmers who got together (I understand it was originally for Counterstrike, so you KNOW they have some experience under their belts) and decided to help out the Noobs of the world. So they created these tools for us to use.
After I bought the addon, I installed it right away. They do make it VERY easy to do, and if you can cut and paste, this should be no problem. A child could do the install.
Then it was time to get questing. I decided that to give it a fair test I would start with a race and class I had never tried before. I’ll be honest with you, when I first started questing, I wasn’t overly impressed. There’s a big compass arrow that points where you want to go for your next objective, and a big window telling you what’s coming up. After I played around with it, I realized that unlike a lot of addons, I could CUSTOMIZE this one to suit myself. I could move the compass arrow, the windows, and even hide them altogether if they got too annoying, or if I just wanted to goof around. I also found out that they’re constantly updating and modifying the guide, and it all comes free with the purchase.
In my humble opinion, this is an addon that EVERYONE could use. After I played around and figured out how the program works, I started playing for real, with my trusty compass arrow in tow. I couldn’t BELIEVE how much faster it went. No hunting for turnins or searching the map for locations. I hit level 15 faster than I’ve ever made it before. I’ll post some pictures later, but so far, I’m LOVING this addon, and I highly recommend it. You can check it out by clicking here to read more about it.
