Holy Balls, It's The Pet Battle Bonus Week!
September 23 - 28 is the Pet Battle Bonus Event. If you're not sure what that entails, Wowhead (as always) has a fantastic rundown up on their site.
The short version is, that for the duration of the holiday, when you level companion pets in pet battles, they earn triple the amount of XP.
What does this mean for DotA?
Mostly, it means an excuse to hang out with other pet battle enthusiast guildies on Mumble/in a raid and motivate each other to level, share tips, battle each other, and... you know... other pet battle stuff! Maybe you have a Flawless Critter Stone, but really want to upgrade an Aquatic pet to rare. If your pet is cageable, maybe you could do a trade-off with a guildie who has an Aquatic stone! Maybe you just want to show off how many cool or rare pets you have. Maybe you love pet battling but don't have a ton of time to spend on leveling harder hitting pets. It's all good!
When should I show up?
I'm glad you asked! Because otherwise you wouldn't know.
Day & Time: Sunday, September 27 at 5.30pm PST
What Should I Bring? Your fine self - feel free to log on to Mumble if you feel chatty, but it is not mandatory at all! You may also want to bring along any Battle Pet Bandages, training stones, pet treats etc that will further aid your leveling ambitions.
How Do I Join? Just log onto Mumble and/or whisper Kairiel for a raid invite!
If you have any pet battle resources, tips, or helpful addon suggestions, please leave a link or a note in the comments of this post so that others can easily refer to it during the event!
