You can obtain 8 Pet Charms from your garrison Pet Menagerie, per day.
Plus 4 Pet Charms from 6 different pet tamers in Draenor.
6 times 4 equals 24 Charms.
24 plus 8 charms equals 32 Charms.
500 divided by 32 equals 15 and a half days of Charm Farming.

Good Luck!

This achievement is not contributed to by other characters on the account, so it is per character.

The Garrison pet daily, given by Serr'ah (H) / Lio the Lioness (A), awards 8 Shiny Pet Charm per day, for those who have unlocked Menagerie Level 1 {Level 2 Garrison + Pets Versus Pests (H) / Pets Versus Pests (A)}.

If one has Menagerie Level 3 unlocked, then completing Mastering the Menagerie (H) / Mastering the Menagerie (A) will award the Big Bag of Pet Supplies which contains 8-10 Shiny Pet Charm (along with other things).

Along with the six (6) Draenor pet tamers who each award 4 Shiny Pet Charm for each win, the one garrison menagerie daily will yield a maximum daily total of:
24 charms (6 tamers x 4 charms) + 8 charms (daily) OR 8-10 charms (mastering) = 32-34 Shiny Pet Charm maximum, per character, per day.

Obviously, getting to a Menagerie Level 3 a player will be well on their way to getting Shiny Pet Charmer, so I would not simply divide 500 charms by the 32-34 max daily earnings, but rather use it as a rough estimate of how many more days of grinding one has to do. For instance, I do not do the tamers at all, so I am earning a paltry 8-10 per day, so I have a long road ahead of me.

This seems bugged. I currently have in my bags 398 charms. Before that I spent a load on pet levels, at least 150-200 i'd say. So I have definitely earned over 500, all on the one char. Yet my achievement says 390, which is 8 less than I have in my bags...

As is the new trend with this, i've been at 100/500 for weeks while doing the garrison pet daily. I've sat through the 4 day wait period to have a GM tell me that it is a problem and in the future file a bug report.
So, I file a report daily.

Then yesterday, I go out in the world and to the Master pet trainers and win 4 charms...and my 100 is now 104.

Long story short, I know to late, it appears that for now you can earn this by doing the out of garrison pet master daily battles.

6.1*********** Usefull help *************Mail those charms it helps!*******

If you already have several pet charms on other alts to get a grand total of 500, just mail them to your main and do another Petbattle that rewards you with charms and you'll get the achievement. ( you won't see the achievement pop but it will be completed )

Thank you.

Do not spend your charms if you want to earn this achievement. Only charms present in your bags will count. I don't know if this is working as intended or not (as I'm not much of a pet battler), but as of 28/02/2015 that's the way it is.
So resist all temptations and hoard those charms!

Comment by Tassit

Since I've been doing this quest practically everyday for months and just noticed recently it hasn't tracked past 24 (since I've been spending them). I asked a GM, here's their response.

"Thanks for taking the time to contact us. This achievement will actually only track the number of Charms you have in your character's inventory, so while you may have looted hundreds in the past, 'Pet Charmer' will only count the 24 you have in your bags currently. I understand this can be a bit frustrating, but you'll just need to hoard all the Charms you receive until you get 500 - from there you'll receive the achievement."

Some people have reported that you have to hoard the Pet Charms to get this achievement. This doesnt seem to be consistently true. Its seems to affect only certain people. I can spend my charms and they are still counted. A friend however can not do this. She actually does pet battles more than I do and I have better progress and spend all my charms as soon as I get them.

Comment by Nohara

Do NOT spend these when you want the Achievement as fast as possible. The achievement is linked to the amount of Pet Charmes you have in your bag.

It is however NOT character linked. If you send the Pet Charms from your alts to your main, it will count towards the Achievement, but not immediately. When you receive them the counter will not change, however, when you relog, it will add those Pet Charms towards your Achievement.

i sent a ticket to a gm and they gave me this link to a third party site to solve my problem. My problem is not solved. I am currently experiencing both a need to hoard the pet charms and the pet charms being counted wihtout hoarding them issue. THe achievement is bugged and blizzard is just flippin lazy and doesn't want to do anything about it. i have been doing the stupid menagerie quest and sending my pet charms to my main (on 4 toons everyday for almost a year) i got the Draenic pet battler achievement (150 battles) ONLY uisng my menagerie on 4 toons

i unlocked my level 3 menagerie and got all 4 toons the building
Yet somehow

150X8 does not equal 500?
nor does 150X8 + whatever number of times i have done the pet battle daily on 4 toons with the level 3 menagerie x 10 (it has been over a month)

the achievement progress will someitmes go up, and sometimes sit there for a week without counting points. RELOGGING does not solve the issue.
there is an obvious issue wiht the achievement itself. THis is a prime example of how blizzard's CS has failed this expansion and how they do not even know what is going over their own roof.

Comment by Threathen

As of patch 7.0.3 you only get 4 pet charms for the garrison daily and 2 charms for each of the Draenor pet tamers. You can now only get 16 pet charms per day, half of the previous maximum.

i love it how blizzard scrood us over once again.taking to us with a forking stick you know where.why didnt they just convert these charms to new ones on like a 2 for 1 basis,instead of leaving us with a million old charms that are essentially useless now,unless you buy pets,but as you can only have 3 of each pet,when you hit that limit what the hell do i do with those charms then blizzard?you mongrels at blizzard have drained every last ounce of fun from this game in the last few years,but more so in the last year.you may as well just turn the servers off and say scroo you all we are done with this dinosaur game.you make a small amount of new content for expansion and patch,but you remove more older content that people still do,wtf you grinch mongrels?
