2xExtra pets for achievements

[gezus]

So ... I was an engineer up until yesterday .. and I dropped it for Jewelcrafting..

I have [Pet Bombling] and [lil Smoky]

and I can STILL summon them and they still count towards my pets achievemnts...

I am NOT an engineer at all anymore. :P

Have fun :P

This also works for the profession mounts, tho you can't summon them once you drop the profession

[gezus]

Yeah .. the Wife had this issue with her Magic carpet and cannot summon it, but it still counts towards the achievement.

However, I can still summon both pets.

On a private server?

I leveled up engineering about two months ago for the pets, and, as of then, it was only possible to get one. Unless it's been hotfixed recently, once you pick a specialization, you can never get the opposite spec's membership card. (Which is what the pet schematic is from)

[EcHoEs]

It is possible to get both now.

[cladovan]

u are 1000% that u can swich the factions and get ownership ? aka u can get the 2 pets ?

[superprokop]

Since when? I was only aware of Gnomish getting one and Goblin getting one. I was told that you could NEVER have both of the pets. Because you can never ever swap sides.

Also this is in no way an exploit. Seeing as how the pets now go into a collection and never said "Engineering only" on them. This is simply you summoning pets. That's it. Nothing more. Nothing less.

[hoboonaparkbench]

How is this an exploit at all? It's completely intended that you keep pets/mounts after you drop the professions.

To superprokp: You've always been able to swap between the two, even since release, from what I remember. In 3.1 you get both patterns in Gnomer (I got a bit confused by the PTR notes whether both will drop regardless of spec, or if you still have to be the respective specs).

[Semtex_Jack]

In normal circumstances you can only get one of the pets. The only way around it is via GM.

If you go gnomish engineering first, get the pet, then drop it, use the book in tanaris and go goblin engineering, you wont be able to do the goblin membership card quest to get the second pet.

However - if you make a gm ticket saying that you are unable to take the goblin quest, and say that you really wanted the pet bombling, depending on the gm you get, they may just mail you the schematic.

Me and my friend both used this method to get both pets. My old main has both lil'smokey and pet bombling. It's impossible without a gm though so chances are gezus is mistaken.

This is changing in patch 3.1:


Engineering

* Engineers can now obtain the schematics for Lil' Smoky and the Pet Bombling from certain creatures found in Gnomeregan. Specialized Gnomish or Goblin engineers can obtain both schematics equally. The repeatable quest that used to randomly grant these schematics has been disabled.

How did you manage to get Pet Bombling AND Lil Smoky on the same char?
From what i´ve heard it´s currently impossible to get both pets on the same char.
They will change it in patch 3.1 tho.

[Sanwyn01]

sweet shit

[gezus]

Ah yes .. sorry .. was so excited that I could summon them without being an engineer.. let me clarify..

On live I have Pet Bombling. and CAN summon without being an Engineer.

on PTR I have both .. and same thing.

Sorry about the confusion, the point was that you can still summon them without having to be an engineer. :P

Nice, good for anyone who is desperate for achievement!
