Shop Smart, Shop Pet...Smart

[mudfish]

This guide is for the achievement Shop Smart, Shop Pet...Smart which requires you to obtain 50 vanity pets. That is a lot of pets. I'm going to write this guide assuming you are at a pretty large disadvantage which would be: Having no current vanity pets, being horde, on a Pvp server, without a second account. This will take a bit of effort though so be warned.

This is the final part of an achievement chain that includes the following:
Can I Keep Him?
Plenty of Pets
Plethora of Pets

These will all be completed as well as the main goal which in the end will yield 40 and Reeking Pet Carrier

Nice guide! Not interrested in pets though ^^

[lxlshadelxl]

thank ya ^^ will be using this once i hit 60 and start to look for them ^^

Most of the pets in the "dropped pets" category are very rare, like the whelplings are 1/1000 drops and the Hyacinth Macaw has been known to take over 10-15 thousand kills. Also you just listed Horde vendor pets, if you get an alliance to buy the Alliance pets then you get many more.
Also keep a watch on the Neutral Auction Houses. They commonly have opposite-faction pets listed.

You can get Prarie Chicken as Horde if you stalk an alliance in Westfall near the Farms
When the egg pops out (after they spammed /chicken on it, took the Quest, bought the seeds and finished) you just grab it faster then they do
Slow / Fast but Easy Way to get a Pet :P

Its obvious, that you can get every pet in the game "if you do this.." "do that..." but thats just not what the guide covers. It doesnt depend on the AH or and prerequisites at all..

WarcraftPets.com - Database of WoW Minipets & Companions has some great guides for these types of achievements too.

What´s up with all that crap lately?

By the way, these lists can be found on almost every WoW Database site (i.e wowhead) so i´d say fail.

And yeah, you MAY redistribute what i wrote.
