New expansion, new Family Battler achievements!

For this one we're throwing it all the way back to the 12 Old World, Eastern Kingdoms Tamers.

You WILL need to use an Alliance character to access all of these tamers.

These dailies are (currently) once per day per account, meaning it will take 10 days for people who have done the quest chain. If it's your first time through you can get it down to 9 days with all the quests.

You will be able to see all the Green Paws for the tamers on the map as long as you have Pet Battles checked in your filter. Just keep in mind that Goz Banefury is part of the Cataclysm tamers, so you can skip him.

Someone ping me whenever Blizz changes it from once per day to work as all other family battler NPCs work. Not going to do a world tour every day for 10 days. Not happening Blizz. Fire whatever designer thought that was a good move.

This strategy might work if you’re young and in good health. But, if you’re over 50, you’ll likely not be around anymore when they remove the once-per-day thing.

I just returned to Retail from MoP Classic which I played exactly for.... the pet battles. I was already sceptical about the whole "sunsetting" of pet battles in Midnight and have not bought the expansion for this (main) reason.

My interest was piqued, however, by the new Family Battler achievements, so I started on that today. Might as well not have. Even though the pet teams are now all level 25 even for low level tamers, you can pretty much solo them with 1 pet. Fights are trivial and no challenge anymore.

Optimists say this might be a pause before a major overhaul of the whole pet battle system. Realists like myself, say this is one step further towards the complete annihilation of meaningful pet battling.

Great work Blizz.. give us Housing. Who cares? And anyhow no house feels like home without what? Exactly.... pets!

Make sure all pet are alive at the start of the fight , if u try to do the npc with 1 dead it wont count for the achievement

Is it just me, but when I press to get a list of all the teams+script for most of the types I dont get more then 1-3 trainers? For example Aquatic I only get lydia? (edited)

If you are doing this achivements, it's a good idea to use none LVL 80 Characters, they level so quickly doimg these battles. I think I have 5 now from lvl 50-60 to 80...
