They also get the XP if they are the only pet remaining. So when MPD explodes and gets the kill, level 1 pet reaps the rewards.

Lunar Lantern Enchanted Lantern
Lunar Lantern can take down all the pets! with a 100% success rate using 1 2 2.
Following the spell cycle 1 2 3 without changing with the first two.

Otherwise, in 50% of cases, it takes down the first two of Veshar.
This means that in the other 50% of cases, you can place 2 pets to level up, one at level 23 and the other at level 1 (50% success if not Magic) or level 13 75%!

With the "Sign of the Beast" buff, you can level up 2 pets, level 22 and above, to level 25!

For 100% success with only one Lunar Lantern/Enchanted Lantern, you just need to place pets suitable for the last two, elemental damage against mechanical, and magic against flying! The first one should be level 19+, the second 15+ or, if you're lucky, 1+, but that takes time to redo...

I've been leveling up my pets like this since Draenor :D

Here's a script that will win this fight very reliably and also quite fast.

1: Chrominius [2/2/2] (Arcane Explosion, Ancient Blessing, Surge of Power)
2: Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling [1/2/1] (Breath, Thunderbolt, Explode)
3: carry pet

if [self(#1).active]
use(Surge of Power:593) [self.aura(Entangling Roots:399).exists]
use(Ancient Blessing:611) [enemy(#2).active & self.hp<=502]
use(Arcane Explosion:299)
endif
if [self(#2).active]
use(Explode:282) [enemy(#3).dead & enemy.aura(Mechanical:244).exists]
use(Explode:282) [enemy(#3).active & enemy(#3).hp<=560]
use(Thunderbolt:779) [enemy(#2).active & !enemy.aura(Mechanical:244).exists]
use(Thunderbolt:779) [enemy.aura(Mechanical:244).exists & enemy(#3).hp>399]
use(Thunderbolt:779) [enemy(#3).active & enemy(#3).hp>798]
use(Breath:115)
endif
change(next)

The idea is to heal with Ancient Blessing as soon as Apexis Guardian enters (if Chrominius has 502 or less health, otherwise throw in an extra Arcane Explosion). This way you'll have enough health to get Surge of Power to hit before Chrominius is killed by Entangling Roots. (edited)

I did this with Chrominius being level 19 and a level 24 Motorized Croaker as the intended leveling pet. However, since I wasn't quite where I needed to be when Chrominius was going to die, I did the following.

I followed the strat until right before Chrominius died. I swapped him out, continued the strat until Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling died prematurely, and then used Mechanized Croaker to finish Apexis Guardian with a Water Jet and Explode on Darkwing. It took Chrominius up two levels.

Today this failed twice in a row, then barely squeaked by on the 3rd attempt

Guess it was just a bad rng day, but don't remember it ever failing or hasnt in the past several months <shrug>

#edit - It was chrominus dying early in both cases I believe, may modify the script per Draagz entry down below (edited)

This strat less reliable now, though I don't know exactly what changed. You have to have a strong final pet, preferably a mech or undead for the rez. Level 15 third pet seems to be the minimum. (edited)

wrote on 2020-11-16 23:41:02

I don't see any changes. I've always avoided this version of the strat, because although it's faster, it can go wrong to the RNG of damage taken, number of Quills, crits with the buff.

Maybe you just had a bad RNG day.

Mordread008

wrote on 2020-12-24 11:10:31

I love big numbers, so I replace the first line of the tdScript with these:

ability(Arcane Explosion:299) [enemy(#1).active]
ability(Howl:362)
ability(Surge of Power:593)

Since the first enemy has the same speed as Chrominius, half the time it goes first and gains the aura that makes it take damage like a flyer. Surge of Power sends it straight into mechanical rebirth. Even if Chrominius goes first, the enemy pet falls into Thunderbolt range. It hasn't failed me yet.

It's weird. I've used this strategy at least 50 times and it's never failed. Today The Great Kaliri killed Chrominius 3 times in a row. It was humbling, to say the least. Worked the 4th time.

wrote on 2020-07-10 15:00:14

I always use Ancient Blessing on CD among the Arcane Explosion spam. That was the original strat, until somebody changed it. Admittedly, this version saves two or three rounds, but it does introduce a small extra chance of failure.

skarpethinn

wrote on 2019-06-29 13:54:37

The 'Ancient Blessing' on Round 3 is the clincher here; since 8.1 or so, i've started noticing The Great Kaliri getting a LOT more crits in, & this wears down Chrominius too quickly to get enough 'Arcane Explosion' in to kill the other backline bird, so the heal is ESSENTIAL to winning this.

cynner

wrote on 2018-06-18 18:16:12

This never quite kills the Darkwing for me w/ the Arcane Explosion. Never have a problem just saving the explode until it comes in after the Apexis Guardian dies, but I always have to wait for the swap.

Eekwibble

wrote on 2018-06-25 01:04:48

It's not supposed to kill Darkwing with AE. You kill Darkwing with the Thunderbolt from the MPD.
Darkwing cannot survive all of Chrominius' AE's and MPD's Thunderbolt. It isn't mathematically possible, even if The Great Kaliri hits with 3 crits on every turn before it dies..

Elzandra#1428

wrote on 2018-11-20 12:16:16

I guess maths were hard for me :) Darkwing had 27 hp and my little level one only had a 19 hp damage spell. Trying again with a higher level carry pet.

I use this one [http://www.wowhead.com/npc=87123/vesharr#comments:id=2270124] which has worked for me everytime:

-Carry pet (no level requirement)
-Nexus Whelpling (P/P or P/B) with Mana Surge and Arcane Storm
-Arcane Eye with Psychic Blast, Drain Power and Mana Surge

Attack once with your carry pet and swap to Nexus Whelpling.

1. Arcane Storm
2. Mana Surge
3. Mana Surge continues (The Great Kaliri dies)
4. Mana Surge continues
5. Arcane Storm (this hits during Feathered Frenzy for a decent chunk of damage)

At this point, Nexus Whelpling dies from Entangling Roots. Swap in Arcane Eye.

6. Psychic Blast (this will also hit during Feathered Frenzy and should do enough damage to activate Failsafe)
7. Drain Power
8. [Optional] Psychic Blast (this or the first hit of Mana Surge will finish off Apexis Guardian)
9. Mana Surge

Evil wrote on 2016-11-12 11:45:22

2x Nexus Whelpling (P/S) work very well too :P (P/P and then P/S also works)

I am leveling pets like this since WoD, for both Spires and Talador, always works.
Just in Talador u need to open with Mech or Magic Pet, or some that can survive 1st hit :)

TheGrandmaGamer wrote on 2017-10-10 04:42:28

Thanks. This worked great!

Saintgabrial wrote on 2016-11-16 16:03:40

Another way to do this one with the same pets, but finish it faster and level a lvl 1+ pet.
Start with Chrominius
Turn 1 Arcane Explosoin.
Turn 2 Arcane Explosoin.
Turn 3 Arcane Explosoin.
Turn 4 Arcane Explosoin.
Turn 5 Arcane Explosoin.
Turn 6 Arcane Explosoin. (The Great Kaliri Dies here if not one more Arcane Explosoin will do).
Apexis Guardian comes out.
Turn 7+ spam Arcane Explosion until Chrominius is dead. Normally 2 times.
Bring in Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling.
Turn 1 Thunderbolt. Darkwing dies in the back row if Chrominius didn’t take it out earlier.
Turn 2-3 Breath until Apexis Guardian dies for the first time and then comes back.
Turn 4 Explode
Your Leveling pet will get all the EXP for being the only one left.

That is wonderfully simple :-) I changed the strategy accordingly, thank you very much!

You're welcome. I've been doing this strategy here for a long time and figured I'd share it.

Kakjens wrote on 2016-12-05 21:33:01

Surge of Power as second spell after Apexis Guardian activates half of the time allows to finish the fight faster.

Morbink wrote on 2016-12-21 20:46:28

I use breath once after switch to apexis guardian so that flying mark fades and he takes increased thunderbolt damage.

Saintgabrial wrote on 2016-12-26 07:52:48

Morbink, that works beautifully. I also added that move to the rotation.

Thanks Morbink

Macgam wrote on 2017-01-04 17:13:24

Without a heal or two or three Chrominius usually dies before Kaliri and often with the backline still intact. Adding Ancient Blessing in R2 and then roughly on cd, has helped me out on this strat. Similar to Lil'Rag strat now that I finally have him - merry xmas to me.

TheGrandmaGamer wrote on 2017-10-10 04:32:03

Hooray for Saintgabrial and those of you who write for non computer people! The "script" with ability numbers does not mean anything to some of us.

Indeed MPD is a perfectly good second pet.

Start with Level Pet - use one simple ability.
Chrominius Arcane Explosion spam, with Ancient Blessing at every opportunity.
MPD when Chrominius dies. Use Decoy to prevent the damage from Entangling Roots, otherwise Thunderbolt when available and Breath otherwise.

When I first read that, I thought the poster meant cast Decoy as soon as I brought MPD in, and I lost the battle...he means use Decoy when Apexis Guardian casts Entangling Roots, not before. It makes a pretty big difference :)

Warkai wrote on 2016-09-05 04:24:14

I have only had this happen twice but if you get very bad luck your chromi can die in wrong order. I held off on decoy then so it would eat entangling roots if I had used it too early it would have blocked two batter while letting thru the big hit and i would have lost.

Managed to time Surge of Power perfectly before the Chrominius' death. Helped a lot, as it landed on the Guardian's frenzy buff, bringing it to the failsafe.

It requires a lot of observation and no less of luck, though. Still a nice thing to know. :)

Sinon dans 50% des cas, elle dégomme les 2 premières de Veshar.

Avec le buff "Signe de la bestiole", on peut donc en monter 2, de niveau 22+, au lvl25 !
