What a boring topic for a news post, right?
Well, if you don’t care about the ads here, skip this one, there’s nothing pet related in this news post!
But if you are curious about the ads on Xu-Fu’s, or maybe even bothered by them, then I encourage you to read on. There's indeed some news at the end of this post ;-)
1 The big question upfront, why ads!?
Simply put, to pay for the server and the occasional giveaway. Over the years, visitor numbers here have steadily grown to a point where a cheap server simply didn’t cut it anymore. After a couple of server moves, the current one is beefy and so far runs very smoothly, but it comes at a price of course. The ads are paying for it though, with some extra which goes into giveaways and, quite honestly, myself - thank you for the occasional bonus!
With ads, I've always been trying to strike a balance between not having to pay for running the page (after it became a noticeable amount), but also not annoying visitors with an overload of ads. My intention has never been to monetize the **** out of this community but lately that balance was very much off, with way too many ads that impacted the user experience and made Xu-Fu a bit meh. Why? Because of a change of heart about monetization? No, pretty far from it. But to explain, I'll have to go into a bit of a history.
2 My history with ads
Feel free to skip this entire section if you just want the interesting news. I just rarely have a chance to talk about my experiences with ads and ad providers and this place is as good as any :D
It's a whole different world of the internet that I only experienced thanks to Xu-Fu's. And it's a weird world, I can tell you that. So here is a ton of oversharing - hopefully some of it interesting! Also, the companies I call by name here, I've collaborated with, and even if I say some critical things about them, the experience was mostly very positive.
2.1 Google AdSense
Xu-Fu is a hobby for me. It's fun, I enjoy coding new features, creating the tools that you all are using to make your pet battles easier. I love that part of the "work". I do
not enjoy researching advertisement providers or writing ad placement code or doing SEO optimisation. Big yuck. And because of that, for years there were no ads on the page at all. I did add some very simple ones via Google AdSense at some piont, which is most peoples first (and often only) choice when starting out. It's easy enough to create some ad units and put the code on your page but the money share you get is abysmal. Low effort, low return. Fair enough!
But the more Xu-Fu grew, the more attention it got from dedicated ad management companies. They use tools to monitor internet traffic, like Amazons Alexa Rank (which doesn't exist anymore) or
Semrush. With that, they find pages with growing traffic, check their ad setups, look up an email address, and spam them. And by spam, I mean spam. Most of these are cold sales emails and I get about 3-5 of those per week. Still. Since around 2018.
Here's two very typical examples if you're curious how those look like:
►
Example 1
Hello ,
How are you? I hope this email finds you well.
I would be interested in buying video advertising inventory on your Site.
Who should I contact to explain how we work and explore a possible agreement?
I look forward to your reply.
Thank you,
►
Example 2
Hi Petguide Ad Team - What do you need from us to work together?
I’m interested in discussing how our ad unit capabilities can increase revenue, maximize user experience, and increase site speed with our core web vital solutions all while creating a better account management experience for you.
Are you the right person I should contact to explain how we work and explore a possible agreement??
Some are much more lengthy but what they have in common is, they are very impersonal and full-on business-talk. Clearly aimed at webpages that exist solely for the purpose of monetizing them, which... the majority of webpages nowadays are. Well, Xu-Fu is not, so I've been ignoring these emails, until I've got contacted by a company called Venatus.
2.2 Venatus
Their sales person at the time was a gamer, played WoW, knew about pet battles, actually had a look at Xu-Fu's and understood what the page was about. And what made me actually read his email was, he addressed me with "Aranesh"! That was a first!
They clearly did their research and showed a genuine interest. It was the first time I answered to one of those emails and after some back and forth, we started working together.
It was a very slow process. Everything was new to me, but long story short we moved ads from Google AdSense over to Venatus some time 2019. Honestly, nothing to complain until a few years later. Then around 2022, the ads started to not bring much return anymore. Page visits increased, ad performance decreased. The people I previously interacted with had changed as well and maybe they've grown so much that Xu-Fu wasn't an interesting enough client anymore, being quite small in comparison.
I don't know what happened honestly but in the meanwhile, two other companies had established contact with me already, also having done their research really well and even chatting to me on Discord. They were similarly casual and understanding of fanpages vs. business webpages. I just had a long binding contract with Venatus and had to wait until that expired. When that happened, it was a pretty smooth transition. Going chronologically, next up in 2023 was:
2.3 Playwire
As the name suggests, they focus a lot on gaming and more "modern" online tech. They are one of the largest ad platforms in the UK and have some big names under them, like Scopely or Crunchyroll. I signed with them after Venatus and had been with them for almost a year. Funny anecdote, a few months ago I was doing a city-trip here in the UK with my partner and while sitting in an almost empty café for breakfast, we overheard a sales pitch next to us. Someone was praising their advertisement platform to a group of people, laptop with a powerpoint and all. He hammered the point how easy the system is and how little work is needed from the webpage coders. Yup, it was a Playwire rep :D
The "low effort" implementation is very true, I had the same experience. It took maybe 30 minutes to set everything up in terms of coding. But the same thing was also the reason why I moved away from them again.
All other ad platforms that I worked with have a similar tech where you log into their backend and create an "ad placement". A snippet of code that defines the type of ad, the size and shapes but also things like refresh rates, video, display, sound and so on. Then you take that snippet and put it within your webpage where you want it to be shown. You "place" it.
Playwire works differently. All you need is to add one tiny script to initiate it and they do the rest. They inject the ads where it makes sense, between articles, or comments, on the sides and so on. That gives them almost full control. Of course, we had a back and forth during the implementation and I pushed back against simply maximizing ad space. Popups, sound, and any kind of anti-adblocker tech were always a no-go for me and they did adhere to that but over time the ad load grew quite a bit, too much for my liking. There even were a few bugs where you could end up having a page with *just ads*, 40-50 of them in one long stack below each other. And all I could do was raise the issue and wait for them to fix it.
I also couldn't create different ad setups based on user settings (like I had before), another sore point.
All that being said, they were super nice about everything and their system is really good for page owners who want to make the most money out of their domain with little effort.
But that's not Xu-Fu, so with a bit of a heavy heart, earlier this year, I moved to:
2.4 NitroPay
Nitro are focused even more on the gaming space, exclusively to my knowledge. They are owned by Overwolf which also owns CurseForge, likely familiar to most readers. Their implementation is much more traditional and after switching over, I now have full control over all ad placements again, yay! And that's also the reason for this lengthy news post and the little announcements below. In terms of ad tech, it really was a journey with many learnings and hopefully some of it interesting to you!
3 So what's new? (or, how can I get rid of ads?)
Thanks for indulging me in talking a bit about tech and the stuff that happens in the background. Now on to what's changed for
you, and what you can do about ads (outside of using an adblocker which is totally fine with me!):
3.1 Option to reduce ads
Go to your
Settings and scroll to the section
Advertisement. There, you can reduce the amount of ads shown to you. It won't remove all of them, but a good chunk of them, about half. No questions asked! This existed in the past and I had to remove it due to Playwire's setup but now it's back. If you're bothered by ads, this is for you. And if you aren't and are fine keeping them on, thanks!
3.2 Ko-Fi Connection
In addition, Xu-Fu is now connected to
Ko-Fi and if you make any donation of any size, you'll get the option to remove ads entirely forever. Just make sure that the email address you use for the donation is also registered to your account here and it'll work :-)
And, it's retroactive! So if you made a donation in the past, same thing applies. You can still decide to opt into ads if you wish so but again, that's entirely up to you. Since it's brand new, if there's any issues with this implementation please send me an email to
[email protected], thanks!
That's it! That's the news. I hope you enjoyed the tech blabber :D
Wishing you all a wonderful day and week!
Aranesh

Informational note on pet dungeon "sustainability":
Most pet dungeons become completely obsolete once you have completed all objectives and all associated achievements/pets/titles. This is true for: Stratholme, Blackrock Depths, The Celestial Tournament, The Deadmines. Some pets you can buy with the currency from The Deadmines come in different breeds, so make sure you get one of each before you forget about the dungeon.
"Sustainable" dungeons are: The Wailing Critters, Gnomeregan
Pets from these dungeons (via currency, or via random drop from the reward satchel) are tradable, so it is worth doing these two dungeons every week if you are interested in Gold/Euros/Dollars.
As an example, average prices for EU Azjol-Nerub, acc. to undermine.exchange as of 2023-12-30:
Gnomeregan:
Mechantula: 3.5k
Mechanical Cockroach: 16k
Alarm-O-Dog: 64k
Leper Rat: 70k
Wailing Critters:
Young Venomfang: 10k/17k
Cavern Mocassin: 23k/44k
Everliving Spore: 270k
Edit: Fixed realm name for example source; detailed the pet rewards for the two good dungeons; minor other changes; typos. (edited)

I just posted a comment to a strat, then added "Thanks for sharing." and it shows the "(edited)" tag.
IMHO, this tag only makes sense if it appears when the post has been edited after the visitor's last visit to this page. As it is now, it is just clutter, as it does not carry any useful information. (Well, it might tell the reader that the author is a bit stupid or distracted, as he was apparently incapable of posting the entire post in one go ;-)

You are right, the tag can be useful if the post has been edited after a reply has been posted.
And that brings me to a better solution (my suggestion to apply the tag only after the visitor's last visit to the page is not really helpful in this case):
– Add a grace period: Apply the Edited tag only if the edit was made later than, say, 3 minutes after the original post. (This is not uncommon on forums, e.g the Discourse software has a setting for this.)
– Ideally, add the date of the edit, so, if we see a seemingly incoherent reply, we can clearly see if the edit might be the cause.

But, honestly, dailies through EK and Kalimdor are not worth doing. Only very low level carry pets will get any XP, and that not very much. And it's a lot of travelling time.
You can get very good character XP and some pet XP - better than EK/Kalimdor dailies, at least - from wild battling.
But what I would recommend is to put War Mode on, and park your alt at the pet area in Legion Dalaran.
Legion Dalaran repeatable tamers are up maybe twice a week on average, BUT when one is up, you can get full tamer XP for each battle for your pets, so a pet levelled in 4 battles, and also excellent character XP, with no travelling time, and you can repeat as much as you want while the tamer is up.
See the Powerlevelling Guide https://www.wow-petguide.com/Guide/44/Powerleveling_Guide for more about levelling with wild battles, and the Legion Tamers.

Update; Thanks for the reply and all the hard work. If not for this website and all the info it provides I probably would not be doing any pet battles. Thanks once again.

Meanwhile, I wouldn't let that stop you using Magpie. There is no confidential information being exchanged, and nothing that is prone to malicious use. Anyway, the SSL still holds; it's just that it's dur for renewal.

I don't know which battle within Stratholme you're talking about, so I can't check.
My preferences are
Preferred: Staff Pick, Fast, Level
Neutral: TCG, Breed, Shop, Script
Unfavoured: RNG, Long, Tricky, Unobtainable
Now, that might not be the ideal choice for everyone. I can certainly imagine some people Unfavouring Breed, Shop, and TCG, and/or Favouring Script.
But if you try it again with those preferences, you might get a better selection.

Your question would be: is there a way to tell Rematch not to fill an "Any Pet" slot with a pet that will be used elsewhere in the dungeon. Is that right?
If so, the answer is no. When Rematch sees an "Any Pet" string, it does use a random pet.
What I have done in cases where the strat uses "Any Pet" is to import the team into Rematch and then manually fill the "Any Pet" slot with a pet of my choice.
If I have misunderstood your question, please clarify.

@Shadow11, Blizz's "Outdated" check is a fake check, as it just reads a number in the addon's index file (toc). That is, if my addon is completely incompatible with a new game version because of API changes, I can make it "updated" for Blizz' check by just updating that number, even if the addon crashes your game, freezes your computer and drinks your beer.
Many addons that haven't seen updates for months or even years are still 100% compatible. Maybe they are truly abandoned (and still work or not), or maybe the author just decided to not waste his time with toc updates, if the addon is not affected by the last patch changes.

If you go here https://www.wow-petguide.com/Profile/Collection you'll see a blue "Export to Excel" button. Download the sheet, open it in Excel (or google sheets or whichever you prefer) and you'll have a much more detailled list of all pets. It has the ownership percentages included in one of the columns towards the right and you can sort/filter to your liking.
Fair warning though, this percentage is only taking collections into account that are present here on Xu-Fu's, that means mostly people who are into pet battles. The numbers across all WoW are likely much lower.

If you have a roster of the standard Level 25 pets, you will probably find a suitable strat in there. Not so much for Kalimdor/Eastern Kingdoms, because any Level 25 Blue will just destroy everything you face.

According to your table I would have to add a Lesser Pet Trait in order to accomplish in two turns.
With only Safari Hat it goes 1 --> 17 and then 17 --> 25. Not, as suggested, 17 --> 24.
As said, I think this is not only a Pet-Battle-Week-thingy, the tables seem to be slightly off in general.
PS: Why does the “edited” in posts appear with uninterpreted formatting tags? Or is it just my browser? (edited)

Been a while since I tinkered with those tables ^^ Perhaps there's some other effect stacking onto it? I have to dig into it. Thanks for flagging it!
I'm currently working on another feature that I want to get out first but I've logged it as a bug:

Oh and... the reformatting of the formatting tags here is also a bug :-(

[The “XP” are the gained experience points according to the log.]
Ashley: 1 --> 19 with 13485 XP; table is correct
Vesharr: 1 --> 17 with 11238 XP; table is correct
Teralune: 17 --> 25 with 12647 XP; table says: 17 --> 24 with 13098 XP
Tarr the Terrible: 17 --> 25 with 12647 XP; table says: 17 --> 24 with 13098 XP
Gargra: 13 --> 23 with 14493 XP; table is correct
Cymre Brightblade: 1 --> 17 with 11238 XP; table is correct
Summary:
Your tables are correct for the low-level (1; Ashley, Vesharr, Cymre) and mid-level (13; Gargra) range. But in the high-mid range (17; Teralune and Tarr) it seems Blizz has lowered the XP requirements (i.e., you gain more levels with less XP).
This would also be coherent with what I’ve seen yesterday with the Sir Galveston grind.
BTW: This was on different toon than yesterday; so, unfortunately, no Dark Iron Dwarf bonus racial ;-)

I stop tracking here, since it just seems to confirm the Draenor results.
Let me know if you want more raw data.

You can look at the ratio of breeds among users of Xu-Fu in the new Pet Statistics, but I wouldn't trust those, I'm afraid. The 2019 Survey has Fiendish Imp at S/S(76%),P/S(13%),P/B(11%), which is sane, while the Statistics show that among Xu-Fu users the numbers are S/S(37%),P/S(32%),P/B(31%) https://www.wow-petguide.com/Pet/71033/Fiendish_Imp/Stats and the vast superiority of the S/S doesn't show up at all.
One problem, though, is that so many of the new pets just don't matter for battling. I've largely stopped caring about Deathroach-ish breeds myself.

We had a WoW break during the time the new exp came out, so playing catch up. (We weren't thrilled about how the general game lore was going.) Loving the new wild pet battle exp. Found out when I was working down my "Go sort out..." list. Usually toss as many similar level queue pets in a capture team as reasonable, for what used to be almost pointless exp. Shocked about the dead leveling 50% deal too, although, would rather never 'enjoy' that if possible during tamer leveling. Still may make the occasional rng or bug issue less of a time waster. Not looking forward to seeing what changed with flurry, etc. One of my favorite things included finding sets of wild pets to use in somewhat reliable strats. Hope that's not broken all of those up.
Too bad the statistics wouldn't use something like max level win results 2 or more to count as a 'battle pet' breed held by the player. Which would still be off, but at least it means the pet of that breed was used in an actual pet battle by at least that player.

I used to multibox pet battles. I don't use any broadcast software, hacks or Bots, I used add-ons and scroll up and scroll down on my mouse. My three new characters were standing next to Sir Galveston the pet trainer WQ in Dalaran waiting for their pet heal to come off cooldown, when they were evidently reported for cheating.
Not getting my three accounts unbanned.

Not an ideal solution, hopefully it will not be broken for long :p
If you're not confident that you can do it without breaking stuff then I don't know of another way to do it.
