I bought the gummies but my lack of puter & smart phone skills are not letting me complete the process to claim that sweet pet :( I'm hoping to get a chance here. If I do happen to figure out how to complete & win one here, I'll toss this worm back into the pot.

I must be having a bad run with the RNG. I have now tried ten times with an SS Chitterspine, and am still failing.

I haven't played retail since the end of BfA, but I've added in the missing line to swap pet 3 in. No idea how/why it was missing.

Updated: Witchy Kitchen is up in Drustvar!
This has failed a couple of times when the Warwhelp got Scratched a bit much, but I can cope with restarting on those occasions since it is such a fast strat.

COMPETITIONS - BY ARANESH
2024-09-19 13:21:30
Edit Oct 1 - The code hunt is still underway with 10 more codes placed around the page to be found. 40 have already been found and claimed. Once the remaining ones are gone as well, the raffle for every participant here will happen!




Edit Sept 21 - Thanks to SimianRex and Sunktokeca#1770 donating 5 more codes each, there will now be 20 Gummi codes raffled out among everyone commenting here instead of 10 :)




Never thought I'd ever put a title picture of gummy worms up here but here we are!

World of Warcraft is currently doing a promotion with Trolli for the pet Gummi!
If you don't know what it's all about, here is a description in detail.

The promotion is only available to United States citizens but the pet codes work globally. So to help out all those not in the US, Xu-Fu with the help from a number of people in the community has gathered up a couple dozen of those codes. And what else to do than to give them away!

But how? How can you get your hands on one of those wormy little critters?
Well, it's a secret this time! If you're lucky, you are lucky and you will know! It will all be revealed once all codes have gone.

And if you're not lucky, you still have a chance. Leave a comment to this news post and at the end of the giveaway around mid October, another ten codes will be raffled out among those who did not find a Gummi worm already.

Let the hunt begin! Good luck :-)

PET NEWS - BY DRAGONSAFTERDARK
2024-09-12 22:25:40
Here's everything going on for you and your pets for this week in WoW!



1 Sign of the Emissary





Sign of the Emissary is up this week, and give us 50% increased Bonus Rep from World Quests!

This can help you work on the Renown for The War Within Renown Pets below:

Loamy: Council of Dornogal Renown Rank 13
Jump Jump: The Severed Threads Renown Rank 15
Tiberius: Hallowfall Arathi Renown Rank 15
Guacamole: Assembly of the Deeps Renown Rank 17



2 Support a Streamer for Watcher of the Huntress!





World of Warcraft is partnering with Twitch to host Support a Streamer during the launch of World of Warcraft: The War Within! Twitch viewers will be rewarded for gifting subscriptions to participating streamers.

Starting August 26 at 3:00 p.m. PDT until September 26 at 10:00 a.m. PDT, support your favorite eligible streamers, and you can receive the Watcher of the Huntress pet to join you in your adventures in the depths of Azeroth.

1. Log in to your Twitch account (if necessary, first create a Twitch account for free at Twitch.tv).
2. Visit any Twitch channel streaming World of Warcraft.
3. While the channel is live streaming World of Warcraft, purchase a cumulative of two (2) subscriptions of any tier to earn the reward.

Please note that the campaign will begin on August 26, 2024, at 3:00 p.m. (PDT). Any subscriptions purchased before the above start time will NOT be counted towards the campaign. Any subscriptions purchased while the channel is not live streaming World of Warcraft with the category set to “World of Warcraft” also will NOT be counting towards the campaign.



3 Trolli Candy x WoW Promo for Gummi!





World of Warcraft has collabed with Trolli gummy worms for in-game content, and for pet collectors that will mean Gummi!

While only someone from the United States can submit a receipt, (as it requires text confirmation via a USA phone number, and a USA address), the codes that are e-mailed can be used globally!

The promotional candy is available in most stores, from what people have said on various forums/sites, just make sure it has one of the promo images on the front for XBOX/WoW/Diablo.

You'll need to submit an image/images of your receipt to https://www.trolli.com/xbox

I purchased each of my items separately, but apparently people have submitted receipts with multiple purchases on the same receipt and received multiple codes.

You will need to allow up to 48 hours for the submissions to process, as it appears to be done manually.


Keep a weather eye on the horizon here for some Gummi-related news!



4 SteelSeries x WoW Collection for Lil' Flameo





For a cool $159.99 USD, the Aerox 9 mouse comes with Lil' Flameo as an in-game reward. All the gaming peripherals that are part of the SteelSeries x WoW collection will launch on 9/24, as per the SteelSeries Twitter page.



5 September Trading Post





For the September Trading Post we have the clawfully honest Claudius for 330 Trader's Tender



6 Seasonal Pet: Qiraji Guardling





Summer in the Northern Hemisphere also marks when the seasonal pet, Qiraji Guardling, becomes available. This pet can be found in Silithus, near The Scarab Wall and The Scarab Dais in the southwest.

Don't forget: you need this pet to complete the Kalimdor Safari achievement.

It will be available this year until 22 September



7 Claws for Concern for Blueloo!





This WQ will be up from Saturday reset until Tuesday reset


While the Claws for Concern World Quest is up, you will be able to work on the Friends in Feathers achievement for the pet Blueloo! Normally, you can only rescue 6 Moonkin Hatchlings at a time, so you can either do the WQ across three characters, or you can also join a raid group and rescue all 18 Moonkin Hatchlings in one go on one character!

PAGE UPDATE - BY ARANESH
2024-09-11 05:07:43
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

Example 2

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!

I am attempting to follow the guide to make a strategy but there is no link anywhere on the site to get to the strategy page. Am I missing something?

Gráinne

wrote on 2023-11-18 18:38:35

Use the top menu to go to the page for the battle for which you want to create a strategy.

You will see an existing strategy - doesn't matter which.

On the right is a pink tab with a plus sign + on it.

Click that pink tab.

Back when I was a noob Pet Battler, it took me some effort to figure out which Pet Dungeons were still worth doing after completion, and which were not. So here is a suggestion for an info to place somewhere on your great site:

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)

Thanks for this. Been thinking about this for a while. I personally only run WC as the added difficulty of Gnomeregan is not worth it :-p

Mot

wrote on 2024-03-30 23:06:15

Yeah, currently WC is the only dungeon I'm running, too. (The drop rate of the Cavern Mocassin isn't bad, and it sells for 20k+ on my server.) Gnomeregan is good, in theory, but currently some discount clowns on my server are selling the pets from there for like 10k.)

Hello, the website says 8-11-2023 is Super squirt day but that seems impossible because pet week has ended by then (EU) ? (edited)

Aranesh

wrote on 2023-11-10 12:41:10

You're right. The calculation assumed it was a super squirt day because technically the pet changes in the morning of the same day that was squirt, but that makes no sense of course. I've gotta look into those cases. Sorry for the confusion!

Alauraa#2331

wrote on 2023-12-24 22:48:20

thank you for the nice reply!

Mot

wrote on 2023-06-30 14:43:41

What is the "(edited)" tag for?

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 ;-)

Cherish wrote on 2023-07-02 07:04:15

that is rather rude!!! ever hear of an after thought??? also some phones, tablets, and laptops have an extremely sensitive send button and it may not all get out in one send yet the sender prefers to have it all in the same spot. there is a chance that the author is neither stupid, or distracted... and as far as "incapable" ... stuff happens! after thoughts don't mean a person is incapable or distracted either... which once again brings me to the sensitive send button... but a reader that takes it as that tells me that the reader is judgmental and needs to learn compassion!

Gráinne

wrote on 2023-07-02 07:56:46

I wouldn't call it "rude". I think it's useful to know, especially when you see replies that may not actually seem to relate to the post they're replying to.

And in the cases where it doesn't matter, it does no harm. (edited)

Mot

wrote on 2023-07-02 10:36:07

Thank you, @Gráinne, for addressing the topic of my comment.

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.

Quadta#1527

wrote on 2023-05-15 07:44:06

Are there teams/scripts for the Eastern Kingdoms/Kalimdor daily pet battles? Trying to level from 1-70 with just pet battle dailies, and would like to level up the most pets I can efficiently. Thanks :)

Gráinne

wrote on 2023-05-15 11:52:52

There are not. The six highest are listed in the Misc->An Awfully Big Adventure menu anove, but not lower. The others will be wiped out by pretty much any Blue Level 25.

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.

This has been bothering me for awhile and want to ask: Has anyone else been clicking the link to go directly to the comments section on an article page and instead it only scrolls down to the middle of the scroll sidebar for that web page?

Gráinne

Yes. Same here :) But only on long articles like this one.

I'm guessing Aranesh will pick up on this, but it really isn't a problem.

Hello All,
I seem to have run into a problem with Magpie website. My browsers list Magpie as "unsecure" and say the certificate has expired. Does anyone else have this notice?
Thanks

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.

Gráinne

wrote on 2023-03-15 19:38:31

Yes, I see the same. Looking at the cert, it expired yesterday. I have flagged it in the DIscord, and I'm sure Aranesh will fix it.

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.

Hey, sorry for that. I've renewed the certificates now. Thanks for the poke. I'll set myself reminders for the future so it won't happen again :)

wrote on 2023-02-25 17:38:11

I am having trouble with what teams show up when using the "Rematch" feature on Xu-Fu when finding out what teams to use. For example, when pulling up Stratholme suggested teams it suggest a team that is further down the list and low rated by community. When the top rated team for that specific battle has like 100+ likes and I even have all the pets for at 25 its not suggesting it when clicking the rematch for the whole dungeon. It just suggest the latter (Even one of the pets suggested is one I don't have max level). I can of course just go to that specific fight in the list and just find the best team suggestion, but it'd be super helpful to have that best team already suggested in the FULL list for the entire dungeon. In my Xu-Fu settings, I have, "Script, Level, Breed, Staff Pick, Fast, Long, & Shop" in Preferred and everything else in Unfavored. Am I doing something wrong or am I just overlooking something? D:

Gráinne

wrote on 2023-02-25 19:38:29

Why do you have "Long" and "Shop" in preferred? It will then favour long strategies using shop pets.

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.

Is there any way to automatically blacklist pets from another team in that group so it doesn't use it in "random pet" slots from other teams in that group? Hope it is understandable english is not my first language. I'm asking here because idk if there is a general chat forum, if so let me know.

Gráinne

wrote on 2023-02-20 20:50:06

I *think* you are thinking of Rematch, and dungeons.

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.

I spent ages working to get the 1500 pets for Proven Pet Parent which I finally got 12/05/22 only to have it nerfed days later!! VERY disappointed! Since the nerf, the pet collection is no longer updating, at first it was not on Blizz but now it seems it is just xufu,
