Power level your pet in 8 battles!
Souglyy, our guild power pet leveller, let me in on her 8 battles to level a pet from 1 to 25. This does assume that you have a large repertoire of pets to choose from already. You can substitute pets as you wish instead of her choices but the nuts and bolts of it are here. Good luck!
- Pick your pet.
- Wear your Safari Hat.
- Buddy the baby pet with Eternal Strider and Clockwork gnome and go to Winterspring and battle Stone Cold Trixxy. (1725xp - would be more if I remembered step 2)
- Using the same team, battle Lydia Accoste in Deadwind Pass. (2244xp)
- Using the same team, battle Bloodknight Antari in Shadowmoon valley (2970xp)
- Using the same team, battle farmer Nishi in Valley of the Four Winds. (5060xp)
- Swapping the Eternal Strider for an Amber Moth, battle Mo'ruk in Krasarang Wilds (4455xp)
- Using the same team, battle Hyuna of the Shrines, Jade Forest (3713xp)
- Swapping to Kun-Lai Runt and Eternal Strider Townlong Steppes (3080xp)
- Swapping the Kun-Lai Runt for Darkmoon Zeppelin, battle Wastewalker Shu in Dread Wastes.
- DING!
I don't have a Kun-Lai Runt at 25 so I used my Flayer Youngling instead. I also don't have a Darkmoon Zeppelin, so I used my Fluxfire Feline.
While I was flying around, I thought I might as well make use of the trainers I flew past for levelling as well! I levelled using Veluxia's combination of levelling team.
I teleported to Moonglade with my druid teleport:
- Clockwork Gnome + Emperor crab against Elena Flutterfly in Moonglade 1733 xp
- Clockwork Gnome + Emperor crab against Brok in Hyjal 3036xp
- Swapping Clockwork Gnome for Fluxfire Feline battle Nicki Tinytech Hellfire Peninsula 2252xp
- Using same team against Thundering Pandaren Spirit 5060xp (OMG Veluxia's combo works!)
Good luck, and I hope Souglyy's pet levelling steps help you to get all your pets to 25 :D
Wow, that is some crazy power leveling, I'll definitely have to try this out. Thanks Souglyy and Navi for the tips! =)
ReplyDeleteI tested it last night and it's true and reasonably easy!
DeleteI will have to try that, I think I have all the pets needed, thanks!
ReplyDeleteLet me know how you went!
DeleteAwesome tip! I'm totally going to try this out! =D
ReplyDeleteAnd it's so easy as well. Souglyy was awesome sharing this with us!
DeleteFYI there is an addon whose name I can't remember atm (it has something to do with safari hat in its name) that automatically equips your safari hat when you enter a pet battle and removes it when the fight is over.
ReplyDeleteGreat tips, I hadn't thought of going back to the non-Pandaland trainers for power leveling. If you have him Lil' XT is pretty good for this too, his ground pound/heal combo is nice for softening up a whole team at once, especially if there are beasts.
Mine isn't levelled - I will power level him next!
DeleteChecked it when I got home, the addon is called Auto Safari Hat and is on Curse.
DeleteOff to grab it! Thanks for the tip :)
DeleteSo going to try this out! I do go back and lvl pets with trainer dailys but this is crazy only 8 battles!
ReplyDeleteMaybe it will inspire a blog post eh? :)
DeleteThank you for passing this technique along! My best pet is just about to hit 25, and now I think I know which pets I'll be levelling up next...
ReplyDeleteYW Nyx :) Look forward to hearing how you go!
DeleteThis is very handy, thanks. I've been levling a single low level pet (from around level 10) with 2 25's in Pandaria which works well but is no-where near as speedy as this 8 battle technique. I'll certainly be trying it out!
ReplyDeleteI had been doing the same, and using this is going to hopefully get me my singing cricket very soon!
DeleteGood luck all, I hope everyone has fun doing it & get your favourite pets to 25 :) and get some cool achieves along the way :)

Thanks so much for sharing your technique Souglyy! <3
Deletenicely laid out methodology. looks very solid.
ReplyDeletecouple additional ideas, to streamline the process: to the extent it's convenient, park an alt at each of the tamers. it's faster to toon hop than to travel from npc to npc. also, i use the add-on "petbattle teams" to pre-define teams for each tamer. the latest version allows you to name your teams, which makes it very convenient. as soon as the current baby dings 25, i pick the next baby and put it into the first slot of each of the teams.
Love that alts thing. Would work well for people with alts! LMAO!! Probably not work that great for me. I also have petbattle teams set up for the Pandarian trainers, it's really good for the dailies. I haven't got the latest version - naming teams would be super useful.
DeleteI went and did some of these same battles tonight and got much lower experience numbers (Winterspring was like 500) but overall the method is great for powerleveling.
ReplyDeleteHey, thanks for dropping by! Glad it was somewhat helpful - I was thinking some of the reasons it may not have gotten as much xp could be because of the level of your levelling pet and the quality. I THINK (but not 100% sure) that rare quality pets gain xp faster. Though I will test that today when I try the 8battles - I'll try it on a green.
DeleteI tried it with a grey pet and got the same xp. So perhaps you were not using a level 1 pet as I was, but that shouldn't matter, as it will all catch up by the end.
DeleteThe pet I was using at the time was blue 22 and even got one of the kills. I'll go back and try it with a level 1 and see what happens.
DeleteOk I did it again with the same setup you used and got 1898 exp for a level 1 pet which makes sense given that you forgot your hat. I must have gotten less because my pet was higher level than the trainer's pets (which now that I think about it... duh).
DeleteLOL well at least we found the answer :)
DeleteThe baby has to be in the first slot and stay in for at least one round to gain any XP correct? I was under the impression the amount of XP was based on how my enemy pets they fought for at least one round?

I had the baby take the first hit one time and then swap out, then another time I put the mob to sleep, brought the baby out to hit it, then swapped it out. Since patch, all XP goes to the baby. So the baby can come out at any time, as long as it either takes on hit, or has a turn at trying to hit (because it will most likely miss anyway). The toughest one of course is the first battle, because your baby will be level 1 and might get one hit by one of the trainers. And aoe attacks are bad too for babies LOL!
DeleteExcellent! Thank you for clearing that up for me. That is what I thought. Though, all of the XP going to the baby confused me at first, because I was thinking of my pets now - and yours are Level 25. So it all makes sense now. Thanks for some more leveling ideas, Navi! <3

Glad I could help!
DeleteJust finished trying this out worked great, I posted my results on my blog. Thank you for sharing your tips ... 'Auto Safari Hat' going to find that now!
ReplyDeleteStarre thanks for visiting! I read your results and I'm glad it worked really well for you and hope that you can spread the levelling joy to others via your readers too! :)
DeleteOmg love that addon "Auto Safari Hat", thank you so much for the tip :)
ReplyDeleteSouglyy
I just got it as well - it's so cool! Now I never have to worry about putting it on OR taking it off!
DeleteWow, that's crazy. I had no idea how big the XP boost was for fighting tamers vs other fights O_o Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! And thank you so much for dropping by :) I love meeting more pet battlers! :) Good luck with getting everyone to 25 - I hope you don't get too bored when you start hitting the frogs, snakes and rats :)
