This quest spot is to the very north of Val'sharah. You can access it from the water, it just takes a few minutes to get there. The the closest FP is Felbane Camp in Highmountain, (unless you are a druid). I've found the easiest route here is to just glide from Highmountain the warden tower on the border of Highmountain and Val'sharah.

Day 5: Make sure you have your pet summoned before you start the fight, or it won't count. Also, you will fail if your pet dies during the fight.
*Some people report that you must also have your pet involved in the fight, many claim in the first slot. Some folks are reporting that you don't actually need the hatchling in the battle team. Some claim you do, but you don't need it in the first slot. Test at your own risk. *

Day 6: Rare Elite quests are marked with a BLUE Icon with a gold Dragon. World Bosses (purple icons) do not count. Nor do dungeon WQs.

Day 14: Make sure you have your pet summoned before you start the fight, or it won't count. *After personal testing, and comments on the quest, it seems you can still earn credit if the Falcosaur dies in the fight.*

Day 15: The WQ does not need to be active to complete this quest.

Question:Answer:

Hello, ******** dropping by today, I hope you're having a good one out there so far. I see you're appearantly working on or at least interested in getting some Falconsaur stuff done.

At the moment I'd say it's probably best to hold on from doing multiple to be on the safe side. With Legion the developers are hoping to encourage people coming together to discover, share and help each other out. Because of this, there are things Support does not have access to or answers for. This situation is one of those things which is why I say it may be best to just do one at a time at the moment.

I would recommend keeping an eye out on community site such as our Quest forums (http://us.battle.net/forums/en/wow/1011692/), www.wowhead.com, the Developer's Twitter account (https://twitter.com/WarcraftDevs) and other such resources for news about the Falcosaur. With wowhead in particular people tend to link tweets, posts and such when the devs do post information. I'd keep an eye on the Falcosaur info on that site in particular just to avoid constantly scanning other resources.

Take care and I wish you all the best in the meantime.

Nice guide! Been looking hard for this exact information, thank you!

Comment by jujubejules

Great guide! Your Stormheim coords are switched though. The Orphan's coords are the Matriach's and viceversa.

Comment by Averte

"Day 5: Complete 3 Pet Battle WQs with the hatchling as the primary pet and summoned out."

This is incorrect. You don't actually need to use the Falcosaur pets during the battle (and the reason it fails if they die is because they're unsummoned out of the pet battle). You can use a proper 3 pet team just make sure the Falcosaur is out beforehand.

Tested just now, confirmed by many people on the Falcosaur quest pages.

Comment by kalerender

You can use alts to progress the falcosaur quests faster.

However once you log that alt on for the day, any existing quest is fixed.

E.g.

I log toon A and see the quest is to complete 3 pvp quests. I log toon B and the same quest will be fixed.

If I complete the quest on either toon neither will be able to do another. However if I then log toon C on that toon will be able to do another quest.

Last night and today I completed all 4 quests on my main, logged my first alt to get the quests, completed (sometimes swapping back to my main for the rare elite/dungeon runs etc), logged second alt to get another set of quests, and then did it a third time.

Thanks for this guide. I had a hard time finding a list of the daily quests, and I also didn't know that the quests were gated at one each day.

Comment by ranta

Do you need to lvl up elemetal, undead and flying pets to level 25 to fight with you for day 10, 12 and 14?

Comment by Guardiantay

~~Do I need to be on the world quest itself to see the orphan or can I have it completed?~~
You do not have to have the world quest active yourself, you can complete it. Just need to remember to go back and kill the matriarch or you'll be wasting time like I was just standing there.

Comment by 1385095

Could be worth to note the Rare Elite quests only count for the ones marked with "DANGER:" and not the "WANTED:" ones. Thanks for the guide!

Comment by Tsukasa117

How many weeks is this supposed to take as I've already seen a player with the Snowfeather mount?

Comment by Plarky

Regarding the quests where your team must consist of the hatchling and two other pets of a certain family, those pets do not have to be level 25. In a lot of cases, I have been able to complete the quest using my hatchling alone, with two low-level pets of the required family on the bench. Don't underestimate your hatchling! They do have a very powerful moveset when used correctly! Hope this helped anyone like me who doesn't pet battle very often, and is only here for the mounts! :D

Comment by 1647325

How are non-healing classes supposed to heal the Matriarch at the end of the quest chain?

Comment by scourgeofthought

Not sure if anyone else has noticed this, yet, but I have been able to switch back and forth between only 2 level 110 toons and complete multiple quests... I have all 4 of the pets and I just do the 4 quests on one 110, then switch and do then next 4, then switch back and do more... I only have 2 110s, so you definitely don't need a bunch of 110s to do more than 2 in each chain in a day... in fact, I did one of the quests for the bloodgazer on my hunter, then logged out and logged right back on to the hunter and the bloodgazer offered me the next quest (though this method doesn't always work).

Comment by Nalistar

It might be worth noting that, unless I'm doing something wrong, the Title you get at exalted is not a normal permanent title, but it can only be worn when under the Ivory Talon/Feather buff, therefore only when in a PvP WQ area or Falcosaur WQ area. Which is really a shame.

Comment by 262755

I didn't read this first, and tried to catch an orphan (had the correct food and everything) and it didn't show up on my pet list... then I read that I had 1002 pets already. It never spawned again on my toon that I attempted to catch it on, but after killing it on an alt, it DID spawn again -- so the pet is not lost forever if you have an alt.

Comment by mafra16

I'm going to add something I just found out.

For classes like a Warrior or Paladin who can get an Order Advancement to instantly complete a World Quest, that advancement does work for the quests that require World Quests to be completed. Though I would recommend to be in the same zone required and use the advancement on a World Quest in that zone. Will update once I test it further.

Basically the Horn of War and stuff does count so long as the WQ is in that zone, you're in that zone, and the pet is out.

Edit: This works if you are not in the correct zone. I did it when the Hatchling was a Direbeak and a Stormheim WQ. Thus far, Hatchling's home in the same zone as the WQ, and not being in that zone.

Edit 2: Okay so you can use the advancement in any zone you are in, regardless of the Hatchling's home zone, and regardless of the WQ zone. Pretty awesome. Now I have to go about a week's worth of WQ's wasting them on Pet Battle WQ's cause I'm terrible at them >.>

Comment by r3fund

These are an amazing way to level a new char. Since they're account-wide quests, you can complete them on any char, and hand them in on alts. I turned in four and hit level 15 in 15 seconds /played :D

Comment by xxPenCapxx

I wrote a simple macro to summon any of the four pets via one button:

Create a new macro and paste everything from the below code into the box. Leave the icon on the default red "?" and name it as you please. After saving the macro drag it onto one of your bars and assign a key-bind to it.

#showtooltip Bloodgazer Hatchling;Snowfeather Hatchling;Direbeak Hatchling; Sharptalon Hatchling
/summonpet 115787;;115784;115785;115786

How this macro functions:

For this example pretend you bound the button the macro is on to the "G" key.

If no modifier key is pressed and you hit the "G" key, the macro will summon the Bloodgazer Hatchling.

If you hold the SHIFT key down and hit the "G" key, the macro will summon the Direbeak Hatchling.

If you hold the ALT key down and hit the "G" key, the macro it will summon the Snowfeather Hatchling.

If you hold the CONTROL key down and hit the "G" key, the macro will summon the Sharptalon Hatchling.

The displayed icon and the tooltip displayed when mousing over the icon will dynamically change from pet to pet based the same modifiers as summoning. Shift+G for Direbeak etc...

Comment by Sunreaver

I completely suck at PvP combat, so I imagine the Ivory Talon steps are going to seriously impede my progress with the faction. Great guide on getting there, though!

Comment by Caissa

As completing a battle with two of the falcosaurs (both present in battle, both took their turn, both survived) didn't count for either of them, I sent in a ticket. Here is the information I got from the GM:

The pet has to be part of the battle and survive it. In addition you have to summon it to your side prior to engaging in the battle as a steady companion. That way the battle will count towards the quest.

I hope this helps some of you not "wasting" a daily WQ with no effect.

Edit: Whoops, I just noticed that you have already listed this under the tips. I must have missed that. :-)

Comment by Coldaria

It seems logging out and logging back a few minutes after the last quest resets the pets and gives you the next quest. I don't know if it is a bug or intentional though, but as of right now you do not have to wait until the daily reset to continue the quest chain.

Comment by Vindictae

I loathe that you have to do PVP to progress. :/

Comment by GreySage

Adding coords to Aviana would help.

Also you get 2 quests a day now, if you finish the first early (all on one char).

Comment by ancarsmith

For anyone that is wondering you can use characters that are not 110 to turn in quests to your pet, but only 110 characters can accept new quests. So if you are running around on a character below 110 hop on your 110 and accept the quest that will pop on your little guy. Some quests you can complete on your alts others you have to complete on your 110 then switch before turning in.

Comment by 1738934

Got Bloodgazer and Direbeak boss kill quests done in Nighthold last night.
Bloodgazer second to last quest is "with 2 other Beast pets"
Direbeak second to last quest is "with 2 other Humanoid pets"

Comment by Fayreon

For Day 14, complete 3 world quests, instant complete order hall advancements (Summon Infernal ect) no longer grant credit. It's been this way for a month or two, didn't see this in comments anywhere. Heads up.

Comment by Discordya

Working on the Snowfeather Hatchling quest, my first one of them all too. I'm on Team Up and not only do you have to have the pet summoned but you have to have it in battle as well as participate at least once. I just did all the world quests available with the pet in the battle, but it was not summoned at first. I summoned him, and did battle but he was NOT switched in to actually battle, and still no credit. So yes, he needs to participate and be summoned as well.

Comment by Towanda

Credit for original idea to xxPenCapxx

Elsewhere in these comments, xxPenCapxx posted a macro for one button summoning of the four Falcosaur pets. Unfortunately I (and others) couldn't get to work as written. So, I modified it. Since Wowhead purposefully limits character counts and formatting options in replies I had to make a new comment in order to share it. Ironic since the fix required shortening the macro!

Here is the modified macro:

#showtooltip Snowfeather Hatchling;Direbeak Hatchling; Sharptalon Hatchling; Bloodgazer Hatchling; /sp Snowfeather Hatchling;Direbeak Hatchling;Sharptalon Hatchling; Bloodgazer Hatchling

Usage:

With no modifier the macro will summon the Bloodgazer Hatchling.

With SHIFT, the macro will summon the Direbeak Hatchling.

With ALT, the macro will summon the Snowfeather Hatchling.

With CONTROL the macro will summon the Sharptalon Hatchling.

If using this on a hotbar, pressing each modifier key while hovering over the button will change the icon and the tooltip to indicate which pet will be summoned.

Fix explanation for those interested:

/summonpet wouldn't work with GUIDs, only names. Using names made the current code too long. /sp is an alias for /summonpet and isn't required if you put what you want for the nomod option at the end of the macro. It becomes the "else" choice by default. This buys back enough characters to spell out the names and stay under 255.

Comment by Atarrah

It seems that you have to complete one quest line before another pet will spawn.

Comment by Memento1960

It seems like the ability for you to complete these quicker by using multiple characters has recently gone away. I just today did the Teamwork Lessons for Skorpyron, Xavius and Fenryr on one character and then switched over to another to pick up the next round. None of the hatchlings had any quests for me.

Comment by Minautore79

Day 14: can confirm you can't switch toon and do the same WQ twice or use instant advancement order it won't count, that means you gotta do 3 DIFFERENT pet WQ.

Comment by Harper89

Okay, so you can make these go faster if you use alts, as many have mentioned. You can accept one quest per day, per 110 character.

To get this to work properly, I log onto my main, accept daily quest, complete on main. I then log onto a 110 alt, accept quest, then log out and go back to my main and complete on the main. Rinse and repeat for as many 110 alts you have. This works because the pet quests are account wide. You can log onto a horde realm and accept, then go back to an ally main and complete, etc.

If you accept on your main, then complete on an alt, that alt may no longer be able to accept the second quest. So just complete them all on the main, or on the character that accepted them.

Enjoy!

Comment by Rhoshar

You can use these quest to boost your very low level alts, they are giving amount of XP you would get on 100-110 (around 15k, some more). When I used in on 1 level character, I immediately reached 9th lvl.
P.S. I have heard that completing these quest on different characters might be considered as exploit, I don't think it really is.

Comment by Versaceg

I just discovered you ARE able to use Order Advancement to complete the battle pet WQ. Just have your pet summoned. I have 3 110's with order advancement in class hall and completed all 3 pet battle WQ on 3 different toons for the daily. Just had him out on every toon as I completed the WQ's

Comment by Blazyrkh

To find them in you Pet Collection just search: "Falcosaur" to bring all 4 up at once!

Comment by ruthven78

once you kill the matriarch, run around the WQ area and spam /tar orphan - that is how I found my first. I guess the locations are always the same. I'll try to update this comment as I find them

Found:
orphaned snowfeather at 32.5, 28.2
sharptalon 47.2, 10.4
Bloodgazer 35.5, 7.4
Direbeak 79.7, 69.6

Comment by 859663

I'm not sure if someone already pointed this out or not, but I just completed the Day 10 for the Snowfeather line and as I was doing the battles, my last one ended up being a rare Mudshell Conch, so I decided to catch it then I'd go find another. Turns out, I still got credit even though I didn't kill the required battle pet. So, there's that. :)

Comment by Tumao

Hi there. I got the sharptalon hatching and leveled it with "ultimate battle training stone". It went from level 1 to 25 in a second, but apparently it doesn't count as completing the quest "raising your sharptalon". I'm very confused and don't know what to do. Any advise?

Comment by Andromeda1449

Great guide! For the pvp rep, Aviana is not at Riverbend; She's at Sylvan Falls.

Comment by 1765683

For the "allies" quests (Day 4 for each pet) the Legion Invasion World Quests DO NOT seem to count.

Comment by aerojef

The absolute best place I know to level up these hatchlings is right behind Mistfall Village in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms. There is not only a stable master right there, but the falcosaurs are green-arrowed up in every slot against the fast-spawning water pets. My level 10-15 falcosaurs were soloing the level 24 and 25s there. I brought a level 25 Direbeak Hatchling to back up my level 10 Snowfeather and Sharptalon Hatchlings, and it went crazy-fast. Just don't forget your Safari Hat!

Hope this helps somebody with an easier way to level these guys for progress in the mount quest chains.

Comment by w3maniak

It seems that the alt 'exploit' was hotfixed, can't take next quest on different char as of 6/6/2017

Comment by Synchronis

Broken Shore Pet World Quests now work.

Comment by MelodyPondtccl

So here's how this quest works. You need to have the pet summoned out as a companion before you start the world quest. You DO NOT have to have the falcosaur in the actual battle. You can use any 3 pets you want for the actual fight, just as long as the falcosaur is summoned as your companion before you start the battle.

Comment by Khilante

Unfortunately as of today, 18 July 2017, you can no longer swap toons to get the mount faster.

Was able to swap toons yesterday, but unable to do it after the update today.

Edit: *cough* Was able to do it again today (19 July)... this is so odd...

Comment by 6by6n6

DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT turn in these quests on ur main...
I completed 3 of these quests, logged on to my lvl8 alt, pulled out the pets & turned in the quests.
Sitting in stormwind, with heirloom and elixir of the rapid mind.. I dinged from 8 to 23 with 3 quests! (got around 73k xp per quest) I'm so sad I'm more than halfway through the chain before trying this..

Comment by Barleduq

Phanthanhes Elune'alor is a vendor in the Sylvan Vale section of Val'sharah. He sells 3 of the 4 food items needed - he does NOT sell Smoked Elderhorn.

He's inside the building at 66.73, 31.24

Yes, he's out of the way, but he may well be the closest vendor to the Val'sharah falcosaurs.

Comment by Xizervexius

And in case anyone was wondering (because they didn't read the actual quest requirements like moi) you have to be 110 for these quests.

So if you tried to doing it on an alt, and no !, well now you know why!

Comment by Erixus

The respawn timer for the matriarch in Val'Sharah is roughly 5-7 minutes. Probably similar for the other three zones. Tested 5 times in patch 7.3

Comment by paktu

So for the Bloodgazer, Direbeak, Sharptalon, and Snowfeather Team Rumble quests I am encountering a problem.

The quest asks for the particular pet with a pair of a specific family and then completing a pet battle world quest, 3 of them. My problem is that Argus pet boss World Quests don't seem to be counting.

I know that apparently you cannot repeat the world quest on an alt and have it count towards the quest for that specific pet, that isn't what is happening. The team pet battles, like the trainers WQ on the Broken Shore are still working towards the quest.

Comment by AmiYuy

These quests are extremely buggy and inconsistent. Also some of this guide's information is either old or incorrect. So here's my experience over the past week.

Pet Battles: Hatchlings do NOT need to be in the party or participate in the battle for all of the quests, but they DO need to be summoned before you start the battle.
Team Up Pet Battle quests: Despite the quests saying the hatchlings had to be in the teams and first in the battle, I'm positive that I did NOT use the hatchlings in all of the the Team Up battles and I still got credit. They definitely were not the first pets as I have a leveling pet in that slot when I use the hatchlings.
Hunting Lesson Pet Battle quests: DO require the team set-up mentioned in the quest.
Pet Battle World Quests: Argus pet battle quests do NOT count.
Pet Battle World Quests repeats: You CAN do all the same pet battle world quests on all of your characters. They might not show up on your map however, so you need to remember where they were.
Alts: You can do the quests over multiple characters. I just completed a PvP World Quest one over 3 different characters.
Class hall auto-complete items: They DO work to get credit for world quests (at the very least PvP world quests).
Quest Reset Timer: You sometimes do NOT have to wait a full day for the quests to reset. A couple of times now after a few hours I have been offered new quests. I do not know the pattern, but it is definitely less than a day. For example today at 7:33 PM I completed The Uncongenial Faction with my Sharptalon Hatchling. 2 hours later at 9:30 PM I was able to pick up Sharptalon Bonding from my Sharptalon Hatchling.
Buggy: Sometimes if you exit the game and log back in, some quests will be completed for no apparent reason (2 Rare Elite World Quests and a PvP World Quest have done it for me).

I am unsure if this is a bug or not.. Say you complete quest for day 5 on character X. If you log onto character Y, you'll have the next one available right away.

Comment by joneser67

Just got my Sharptalon Hatchling! It took 2 tries to get it, and am not sure if what I did different the 2nd time was the cure or not, will have to try on another toon after I get up later. 1st try I saw a nest spawn a couple minutes after I got there (some others had just finished killing the Matriarch as I got there). I stuck around and waited for respawn, then killed the nest when it spawned, then the matriarch, no hatchling. 2nd attempt, I ignored the nest and waited for the matriarch. Killed her and got my hatchling. Again, I don't know if killing the nest 1st was what caused it to bug, or if that is just the way this is going. Will post later after I go on a few other toons and try both ways. Would also like to know from others if you notice similar happening.

The initial quest to get your Ivory Talon gives 500 rep with Talon's Vengeance.

for the battle pet wq if the pet is out you can use instant WQ win for those classes that have them

Comment by vixeliaeonar

Im 5 sec from quitting wow. Nothing is hard, however, everything is frustrating and dumb to put players thru such hardship. Call ur game a challenge, not make things so dumb and retarded is not. The stupid hatchlings despawn constantly during quests so that last sec it despawns and you get no credit. that is dumb, not a challenge. its frustrating that most of the content on this game makes no sense so you spend 90% of your play time chasing google. This game has become a nuisance in that it is not hard or challenging, but merely frustrating at every sec of the day../rage . I dont need anything in this game so badly that I spend my entire day frustrated.

Comment by jimmyc

In case people were getting frustrated like I was at the orphans not spawning, even though it is mentioned many times in the comments it still didn't get through my thick skull, you need to kill the Matriarch not the Patriarch to get the orphans to spawn. Probably for others quite obvious, for me not so much.

Comment by 430316

I got my first orphaned Falcosaur yesterday. After completing the WQ I hung around until the the orphan spawned. The Matriarch was killed 4 times but it was not until her NEST spawned and was destroyed that the orphan spawned.

Comment by ealdrich

So I last killed the Bloodgazer swarm months ago when farming eggs, including killing a Matriarch at least once. Decided to pick up the pets and work on the mounts so when the Bloodgazer quest popped up I went out there planning to wait for a Matriarch to spawn, kill her, and get my pet. Didn't have to. The orphan was waiting there for me -- didn't have to kill a thing.

So it looks like if you kill a Matriarch you may have effectively an infinite time to go get your pet.

Comment by Wuru

Tried getting the Sharptalon Hatchling from Val'sharah, it seems the world quest needs to be there for you to spawn the Sharptalon Matriarch. I tried killing alot of Sharptalons Patriarchs, until I understood the Matriarch wouldn't spawn. Guess I'll have to wait for the world quest. Just a little tip for you guys, so you don't waste your time, or wondering why it won't spawn.

Completing multiple per day using different 110s is hit and miss. Some days it works, and some days it doesn't.

One thing I can confirm is that if you have a buggy quest, abandon it, log over, and do it on another toon that's all you'll get for the day. If you try to log back over and pick up a second on the first character you tried, it simply won't be an option. You'll have to wait until the next day.

So, if you have a buggy quest, do not abandon it if you want to accomplish more than one quest for that falcosaur that day. Perhaps try logging out and back in instead.

Comment by Incandio

Your Falcosaur may die in the pet battle to get credit for the kill, however it can't be the first pet and die without making a move. Guess how I know? I'll give you a clue: The answer rhymes with Steve Bannon.

Comment by arednie

My big takeaway from these quests and I'm not sure if it has been mentioned, is that the final WQ pet battles - the penultimate quests - do not seem to be completable with either the crux or warlock finisher. My other takeway is that you can get through several quests in a day using alt 110s. I'm sure I read this but for some reason didn't sink in for a couple of days.

Unfortunately, you cannot use the alt swap option on the WQ pet battles, in order to do same WQ three times (for example) because the pet remembers even if your alt doesn't.

Comment by cfmcghee

Got the Azsuna Falcosaur today, did not have to kill anything - the hatchling was already spawned from someone else. No, I have not done this quest in weeks, so not a hold-over.

Comment by Primu

You do not receive anything for obtaining all four falcosaur mounts. I thought I'd get a glowy falcosaur or something, similar to FFXIV's ponies. Sadly that is not the case. It just would've been nice to have one mount or something to easily boast that you've gotten all of them.

Comment by Aristyne

I have a question...
In the guide you said.... *WARNING: If your pet collection is FULL and you try to complete the feeding, you will NOT learn the pet.....
How do you know if your collection is full? I'm sure mine isn't cause I don't have every pet in the game yet but was just curious how I can tell and see how close I am or am not to being full?

Comment by Lightstylez

Slightly modifed version of Towanda's macro as it wasn't working, all credit goes to them. Check their post for more info - TLDR summon each of the 4 pets with just one macro, a different pet is summoned based on which modifier key is held down. You can see the macro icon change when holding a modifier key to see which one will be summoned.

Comment by avatarofshadow

I'm just looking at these now. I already have the pets, and they're 25. And now the quests are considered "trivial" which is sad. Then, I see that one of my pets wants to go to Darnasus. Which is way sadder.

Needs more Jurrasic Park references!

Comment by katherinne

Bloodgazer Orphan was out without my killing mom.

Comment by jediwump

FYI.. If you use the Magic Broom as your mount during Hallow's End, your pet will automatically dismiss. You'll have to summon it every time you "dismount."

Comment by TrashKetchum

The ALT method for the dailies is still working as of 8.0.1

I did all the dailies within 2 days across all of my characters, I found an odd situation where 1-2 of my characters had no daily from the pet but the other 7 or so did. So keep trying if your 1st alt has no daily quest.

Comment by Reddervish

Snowfeather showing quest to level to L25 (again) when quest chain is almost completed.

I thought it was Solved: reset my wow account per https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/7549

I then did 1 more pet battles with snowfeather, but couldn't win the required 2nd and 3rd one due to poor talents on the 2 undead I'm required to do the pet battle with. Came back next day (today) and Snow feather showed two quest markers. The new quest ! (again) for leveling him up to L25 (which he is already) and the expected second quest ! to do two more pet battles. I did the last 2 pet battles and got normal completion, but the new quest ! to raise him to L25 is still there.

Comment by Reddervish

The BFA 8.1 LFR portal in Dalaran to Legion raid content is working ok for quick solo kills of Xavier in Emerald Nightmare and Krosus in Nighthold.

My ilvl 350 Demon Hunter was able to solo Ursoc and Skorpyron using the raid entrances at 10-normal with the appropriate falcosaur pet out.

Comment by projecteulogy

Used all 3 of the pets in battle. Used Direbeak, Bloodgazer and Sharptalon. none died. Direbeak was summoned and was at my side prior to the battle starting.

Got credit for nothing. Thanks Blizzard for the instructions: <To learn, your hatchling must be at your side before you begin a battle, must be your first pet to enter the battle, and cannot die in battle> but still not giving me credit for at least one.

Yet... They still scratch their heads over the mass desertion of the player base.

Comment by Blastgamer

Can I get some confirmation that the world quest dailies (For me specifically the Pet Battle WQ one) don't work with BfA World Quests? I did a few and then realized the quest wasn't counting them, and I'm wondering if it's just a glitch for me or a general one.

Comment by Jovio

If you solo LFR Krosus like me, for the Teamwork Lesson: Krosus in the Direbeak chain, in order to open the gates you will have to kill Tichondrius first. I didn't know, and most lists have Krosus above Tichondrius, so I wasted lots of time killing trash and planlessly running around in order to try to open the gate.

Comment by Aralnda

Been trying to get this during BFA. The quest line says to use falcosaur in Pet Battle World Quests. This is only for Broken Shore. These quests came out before Argus was implemented or any other Pet Battle World Quests. It can not be completed in Argus or BFA or future content. I asked a GM and they confirmed this. He said he would try to pass it forward to the team to have it reworded to Broken Shore Pet battle Quests.

Comment by Ginganinjaqt

All 4 Mount Questschains in one day

Just grab a char do the first quest of four. When finished get the other pet and so on. Once done all 4 quest with the first char get on your toon and do the same thing.
When you are out of toons just create a classtrial.

This should skip alot of daily timers and if you are doing it very smart just save your max level chars for Raidquest so feel free to start with a classtrial for the first quests.

Comment by Reikku

I didn't bother looking through all the comments to see if this was mentioned already, but its been suggested to log on to a different toon to continue on with the chain. If you'd like, you can log on to that new toon, pick up the next quest, and then log back on to your main character to continue. Might be a pointless tip, but I still thought it worth a mention in case its just easier to get around and do things on your main.

Comment by Arkamedix

A important note: When you reach the quest with : "complete 3 pet battle world quests with your hatchling" (doesnt matter wich one, all have), beside the fact that the hatchling must be in your pet team, you also must summon him before battle. If you do a wq without summoning the hatchling, it will not count, even if the hatchling is in your pet team.

Comment by Cihlicz

What is the difference between running multiple times for example Zulgurub on multiple characters per one day and doing multiple daily quest on multiple characters? So you are saying that people shouldnt be doing any dungeon or raid on other characters, which they have done with another? Is this exploiting? I dont think so... People are doing it since wow started and there is no account lock. Anyway great guide!, but the nonsense red text at the end really grinded my wheels.

Comment by Adveshan

With the final Hunting Lesson quest, you can get away with just 1 of the 2 type pets at 25 and the other as a lvl 1 filler to save pet tokens.

Comment by ScaryTerry

With Class trials, you can just log in and accept a hatchling quest, and because it is account-wide quest, when you log in your main it is there. So your main can basically do many dailies in one day.

Also, when you are doing world pet battles, it is not require for your hatchling to enter first in the battle nor staying alive. It needs to be spawned before starting the fight though.

Comment by Healeos

No quest today? I had an issue whereas after the reset, my pets didn't have my daily quests. To fix this, I logged on to an alt, summoned the pet, BOOM! There was the quest. I didn't accept, logged back over to my main, there it was. Hopefully you don't have this problem, but just in case you do, there was no info on this problem that I found.

Comment by NoChill

Bruh theres no way I'm farming that talons vengeance rep ... there are boosts available for like 300k... I'm gonna get down voted but for any mount collector this is the way forward. Dont waste countless hours on this when you can drop a couple hours gold into it

Comment by Coolmama

Thank you very much for this guide! I'd never heard of these pets before. Thanks to you, I now have the four of them and am ready to level them up and do the remaining quests.

Comment by Ye7i

I have been able to complete multiple dailies for each hatchling during the same day by using alt characters. At first, I thought this method required an alt from another faction, but it doesn't seem to matter as I did more testing.

Important Note: Accept and complete the dailies on one character first, then move to an alt and summon the hatchlings again to get the next set of dailies during the same day.

Comment by Andais

Day4: Allies

Beware! The Ley Race type of quests won't count towards the 5 you need, because when you get mounted onto the Mana Saber your pet is automatically dismissed, so it's not out when you complete it.

Comment by Dreadalous

Free Tip: If you don't want to wait everyday for the next quest you can log an alt, summon the pet and do the next quest.

Hope this helps :]

Comment by Dreadalous

I just had my Snowfeather OUT while also being in the pet battle group and still didn't get credit for Highmountain Pet Battle WQ.
And I absolutely HATE pet battles. Some of those enemies are simply broken like the Packleader (Wolf) here. That stacking Aoe is bs forcing you to keep swapping so you don't build stacks.

Comment by Dreadalous

Free Tip:
~~Legion Dalaran Pet Battle doesn't count towards the World Quest Pet Battle quest progress. Wasn't until I did 2 that I realized it.~~

EDIT: This bugged or what? All of a sudden one of the battles in Dalaran worked. Strange

Comment by sweets10

The worst part of these is when you forget to have your pet out and have to wait for another WQ or log another alt........

BEST ADVICE OUT THERE is to put your pet on your bar and hit it every single time you dismount! Because I would literally be done so much sooner if I had my pet out 1/2 the time.... It's annoying that it is inconsistent and when the pet needs to be out and not out. So.... Just always have it out...

Comment by mermel

I used an Ultimate Battle Stone on my Snowfeather Hatchling to get it to 25 and the quest will not complete. Tried resummoning and reloading, nothing. Any ideas?

Comment by Facethievery1

I have been playing for many years and have a decent number of pets I got passively. I also did various pet charm mission table so I had amassed over 2k charms over the decade. If you are coming to this with a small pet collection and no charms (to buy level 25 boosts, heals and upgrades), you will be in a long, uphill climb.

Even with a fair number of pets and charms, I found the pet tamer World Quest incredibly annoying and RNG hell. Thankfully, many people post their successful pet comps however it is not uncommon for these to contain pets you do not have (e.g. wow shop or old promotional event pets). Even some of the comps that were consistent in the past stop being consistent with patch changes and turn into coin flips. If you are patient, you can also wait out for "kill/capture X pet" WQs. These are far less common than tamers/elite pet WQs however.

Comment by xLunacyx

Seem to be able to continue the quest chain on alts after you've done one daily.
You can even do the same pet battle world quests on alts, don't forget to summon your falcosaur just before (doesn't need to be a part of the team)

Comment by Badgerpaw

During the Hunting Lesson quests, you are allowed to catch pets during the battles. Even if it's the pet that is your target for the quest, it will still count as defeated.

So if you're a pet collector and happen upon a Rare Quality pet while doing these, don't worry, you don't have to decide between catching it or finishing the mission.

Comment by Erszebet19

You don't have to wait for the daily reset. Once you have completed the quest with one character, just log in with a different char and summon your hatchling; you will receive the next daily quest!
