Getting ready for the Celestial Tournament (Patch 5.4)

[phantom325]

Hmm... what other flying pets can appear? On battle #53 now, have yet to see any other flying pet
EDIT: I finally caught one, and a rare one at that.... *wipes tear of joy away from eye*

Haha, good going! I know how much it can suck, I've spent hours recently screaming at my screen because of things like that.

You borrowed a whole lot of information from the user Phraide on WarcraftPets.com,
Guide to tamer daily pet battles (5.3) - For veterans - WarcraftPets Forum
I'm sure he would appreciate it if you credited him for doing most of the work for you.

[Aegeus]

Thank you for bringing this new and fresh information to my attention.

Not.

Not.

Thank you for being aware of the fact that most if not all of the work represented here by you is stolen from someone else, and your choice to give credit where credit is due.

Not.

Look you uptight asshat. I stated in the very opening sentence of my original post that it was information gathered from around the internet. I have zero obligation to credit anyone when posting on Ownedcore, we have precedence for that. I'm sharing the information I have found here with others. If you're not happy about thinking of it first and want to whine like a little girl, stay out of the thread.

This has been a great help for getting ready for 5.4, got like 20 new level 25 pets from following this and i started out with a common Emerald Drake. Works, but its more suseptable to RNG. Following this guide every day, but do you think you can move thundering pandaren spirit to after Aki as thats the next logical trainer to do after Aki and would make the formating better for people following it daili.

Thanks for bringing this guide to a site i visit!

I seriously should've read this guide a week ago! Thank you so much for compiling this, organizing, and overall contributing a fantastic preparation tool for 5.4 -- remind me to give you +5 rep tomorrow when I can pass out some more

Thanks

[Aegeus]

Burning Pandaren Spirit
1: Anubisath Idol (1,2,1)
2: Emerald Proto-Whelp (2,2,1)
3: Carry pet (should have 500HP to survive)

vs Crimson
- Crush > Stoneskin > Crush until Crimson dies
vs Pandaren Fire Spirit
- Deflection
- Switch to Carry pet > switch to Emerald Proto-Whelp
- Emerald Presence > Proto-Strike > Emerald Bite until Pandaren Fire Spirit dies
vs Glowy
- Emerald Presence > Emerald Bite until the end

- Notes: If, at any point in the fight, your Emerald Proto-Whelp dies, then switch to Anubisath Idol, cast and maintain Stoneskin, and chain cast Crush (and cast Deflection when Pandaren Fire Spirit has Conflagrate off cooldown).

Change the idol stoneskin to Sandstorm.

You can then level 2 pets in one fight. You can even level extremely low level pets. However instead of switching low level pets in on the spirit, wait for the Firefly boss.

Take the first sting
Deflection on next move, which should be another sting.
Boss will now swarm, which if you have sandstorm up does no damage at all.
Swap all your leveling pets in.
Proceed to crush firefly, using deflection after primary sting if he lasts that long.

Whispering Pandaren Spirit
1: Anubisath Idol (1,1,1)
2: Carry pet
3: Emerald Proto-Whelp (2,2,2)

vs Dusty
- Deflection > Sandstorm
- From here on, cast Deflection when off cooldown, Sandstorm when off cooldown, Crush as a filler
vs Whispertail
- Crush until your Anubisath Idol dies
- Switch to Carry pet > switch to Emerald Proto-Whelp
- Emerald Presence > Emerald Bite until Whispertail dies
vs Pandaren Air Spirit
- From here on, cast Emerald Presence when there is 1-turn left on your buff, Emerald Dream if you have less than half of your HP, Emerald Bite as a filler

Don't need idol, Emerald can solo all three. So you can level two pets on this. Minimum hit points of carry pets should be around 500.

Nice additions, I'll add it to 'Advanced Tactics'!

[pepe2c]

its possible to add strategies for the celestial tournament masters? =P

[Aegeus]

I actually have a completed list for all needed pets, but I'm not going to post something here without trying it myself to confirm it. Once you've got your initial levelling team set-up, it shouldn't be a problem for most people to get what they need, just remember to get yourself out in the world and collect as many different pets as humanly possible!

Don't forget about CodeMyLife's EXCELLENT Pet battle PQR profile CLICK HERE ([PQR] CodeMyLife PokeRotation - Automated Pet Battles.), you should never leave home without it or your Safari Hat!

+5, amazing post, one question though. How big is the difference between an Uncommon and a Rare Emerald Whelp? Spawns are pain in the ass, and the few I get are poor/common.
