Having alts who also have world quests open can make these achievements go much faster. Especially if there's more than one trainer up that week. While the achievements and such are account wide, the world quests are not.

Can you please update this guide to NOT use Minfernal? It is simply unreasonable to expect someone to have this pet, unless you have been extremely lucky. I have spent months at the location, logging in from time to time, and all I see are other players mindlessly flying around. And I have a LOW population server group, so I can't imagine the high population servers.
Aerna-Eonar responded on 05/09/2017
By the way - great site! :)

AaronM wrote on 02/02/2017
Would it be possible for you to create strategies for these trainers that's not associated with the family familiar achievements? Some trainers I have defeated with all pet families so I'd like to go back with the best possible team that is easy to beat each trainer and also to save these teams in rematch for future use. I could pick one of the strategies listed for each trainer (human, beast, or magic, etc.) but having a strategy that would easily counter each trainers pets would be awesome. Also, great work on the site! Keep up the good work!
Aranesh
responded on 02/03/2017
Sure! That is already there :D
There is a separate section for the World Quests where you will find "normal" teams, where possible with the option of a leveling pet: https://wow-petguide.com/index.php?m=LegionWQ
AaronM responded on 02/03/2017
I certainly do know about the Legion World Quests section but what I am talking about are simple strategies for the Family Familiar trainers not all the other trainers in the World Quests section of this site. They are obviously separated into 2 sections and they should be, however, once you beat a family familiar trainer, in this section, with all pet families and you want to go back and defeat him/her again for the quest awards having a specific team that can counter the trainers pets, instead of using a specific family of pets (Human, Magic, Dragonkin, etc) , would be awesome to have. Perhaps I could be overthinking this a bit and maybe there is a family team that would be best suited to beat each one of these trainers, however, having a default team to counter each of these traniners pets would be great to have. Thus, why I am posting this under the Family Familiar section and not the World Quests section. Thank you for your reply. Sorry if I'm not explaining this well. :)
Aranesh
responded on 02/03/2017
Mh... I don't really get it. In the World Quest section, all Family Familiar tamers are present as well. They are the ones with a green paw at their names. If you don't need them for Family Familiar, that section at the World Quests should give you fast strategies with the option of a level pet (where possible), no matter the families.
Am I missing something? Sorry if I'm overlooking something completely :S
Remte responded on 02/04/2017
I guess what the OP means is creating an alternative way of sorting the encounters. Now, they're sorted by pet types, but there would be another "tree" aswell that allows to start from choosing a specific tamer first (so you can ingame stand next to a tamer with his or her page prepared, browse your achievements and then decide which family do you decide to play this day).
I have no particular opinion, just trying to explain that – though I think that isn't something that Xu-Fu 2.0 won't manage ^^
Aranesh

I hope so ^^ And I like the sound of Xu-Fu 2.0 :D

Are the 3 Suramar trainers still in rotation? I haven't seen Varenne or Aulier up since mid-October and I have never seen Flummox up. I am Exalted with Nightfallen and am well past the entire Good Suramaritan chain requirement that I see listed. Trying to complete Family Familiar with 3 trainers never popping is a giant pain. Did I miss a posting somewhere along the line saying these 3 are broken or something? Just curious if anyone else has seen them or if they are MIA for others as well.
Aranesh

Hey! I'm wondering the same, it's very, very unlikely this is just down to randomness. On warcraftpets.com there is already a discussion going and perhaps we will get an answer from Blizzard in the new year :)
Xpsyded responded on 12/22/2016
I am feeling like this achievement is flawed. I never see the three trainers you are referencing in your post
Bix responded on 12/23/2016
I've been keeping track of these since I began the achiev (around 25 sept. 2016), on an almost daily basis (maybe missed 3 days since then).
I've had Aulier up 4 times (last time around early December), Varenne up 2 times (last time was around mid-November), and I've *never ever* had Flummox up.
Alarys - Stormrage responded on 12/28/2016
Flummox apepars to be up on NA realms right now, with three additional pet WQs (Durian, Bredda, and Help a Whelp). Here's hoping 4 daily is the new thing!
Remte responded on 02/04/2017
I can confirm it used to be a thing, but sadly as of today we get always 3 world quests per day, no matter the zone. A character without progress in the Suramar City will see only two or less that day if something happens here.
aelfraed responded on 06/01/2017
I have been getting 4 a day on my main, sometimes 3 on alts who don't get Suramar.
Suramar trainers appear fairly regularly for my main
platetits wrote on 12/17/2016
So, if you're using the multiple characters strat to do this in a more timely manner, does this mean that you should focus each character on one of the achievements? From what I can tell, the different family achievements criteria are not accountwide.
Aranesh
responded on 12/18/2016
To my knowledge the progress is shared account wide, so it doesn't matter which character you use for what achievement :-) I highly recommend the addon "Family Familiar Helper" from Gello: https://mods.curse.com/addons/wow/family-familiar-helper
It makes this a lot easier to track!
platetits responded on 12/18/2016
The individual achievements are not accountwide.
Jon/Troy responded on 12/20/2016
I receive credit on all my five 110s for every trainer i beat with a specific family.
I have been just checking that there is a grey part of one of the achievements for each trainer that's active when I log on and am only now noticing how rarely we get suramar trainers, having done 6 trainers with all of the 10 families and keep seeing them recur (it took me 3 spawns to kill robert craig with aquatic for instance, I couldn't get the RNG right.) I have never seen a string of trainers and I think I only saw varenne once.
I have done between 1-5 pet battles of the family familiar every day since about day 6 of launch and am currently still not finished.
Bix responded on 12/23/2016
I hereby confirm that individual achievs *are* indeed accountwide. This is easy to see with the color in the Achiev title (in the basic UI) : light blue = account wide (progress included), brownish/red = character-specific. ALL pet achievements except "Pet Charmer" (collect 500 charms) are accoun-wide (blue).
Badjoojoo - SOE wrote on 12/09/2016
I have a suggestion! :) Would it be possible to create an icon that goes on every trainer who is part of Family Familiar and another icon for trainers who do or do not level pets? You could create an icon for each, and if it doesn't apply, make a red circle with a diagonal line through it so we know immediately that the trainer is or is not a FF trainer and a pet leveler or not. :) BTW: I am a graphic designer, so if you have ideas but don't have the skills, let me know and I'll be happy to help. I love this site with a passion and it would be a pleasure to help you out.
Aranesh
responded on 12/29/2016
Hey there! Sorry I didn't answer any sooner. The Family Familiar Icon is in now! For leveling pets, I have a slightly different idea - I want to add this to the battle table because many fights have both a "fast" or a "leveling" or maybe a "super safe" strategy, and it would get a bit crowded with icons I guess^^
For any other kind of graphic design I really have to look... I'm decent with photoshop but far from being a professional. Is there any part of the page that you would rework and design entirely different? I'm very happy for suggestions or criticism :-)

Hi! Yesterday I noticed that the world quest "Beasts of Burden", which requires defeating Andurs & Rydyr in Stormheim, has another loophole: as long as you don't defeat both, you can repeat one of the battles as much as you want. Bring a pet with Decoy, an Iron Starlette, lots of bandages and start leveling those pets up!
Sneaks wrote on 10/31/2016
With the new addition of the Falcosaurs, and their quests to 'complete 3 pet battle world quests with your {falcosaur} Hatchling present', would you be willing to do an updated version of the 'Flock Together' achievement to include them (or at least leave a note where they can be substituted)?
So far, Chromadon, the Thistleleaf Bully, and Vinu were all doable with both the Snowfeather and the Bloodgazer present (though the credit could only be given to one at a time), but I'm sure there are others that might be more difficult to work around.
Aranesh
responded on 10/31/2016
Hey Sneaks!
I just wrote a blog entry about this. It seems currently you don't even need to have the Falcosaur in your team, which makes it much easier to do. Try it out and let me know if it gives you any trouble!
Sneaks responded on 11/01/2016
Oh fantastic, thank you! I thought it was gonna be such a pain, so it's a relief that I won't have to work around all that mess. Though with the timing, I've got two hatchlings doing the same part of the chain at the same time, and this is gonna have them all staggered now.
I just want to say, though, I really appreciate all the work you've put into this site. It's become my go-to when I need to look up something for the pet battles!
Cherish responded on 11/02/2016
Hiya Xufu,
According to BlizzardCS on Wowhead:
http://www.wowhead.com/quest=44978/direbeak-team-up.
"Just wanted to clarify something for this quest: for a pet battle to count for this, the specific pet must be summoned as a non-combat pet before starting it. Also, the pet must be present during battle itself, and it must survive it. Otherwise you won't get credit for the quest."
Much appreciation to your site.
Elivra responded on 11/04/2016
I just finished the World quests with these pets. You dont need to have them in your Team. When you start the fight open your pet journal and summon the pet you need for the quest this will give credit.
Aranesh

It appears the loophole with twinks not unlocking world quests has indeed bin fixed with 7.1. Now this has to be completed the "normal" way, probably as it was intended in the first place.
Macgam responded on 10/26/2016
Sadly... confirmed for me as well.
The good news is you can do battles on multiple 110 toons.
MightyTG wrote on 10/26/2016
The loophole didnt end this morning when the patch dropped because i hit one of the tamers 1 time on main and 9 on my alt, but then just now, about midnight (eastern time) i wnet to do sir galveston and it wouldnt let me do it more than once. I got angry and went to turn the quest in, but then i remembered that it never let me do the tamers in dalaran more than once, only the ones out in the broken isles :X so dont turn it in until you are sure its patched!!!!!
Sunny wrote on 10/25/2016
Oh dear, did the loophole close for 7.1? I'm here (sans world quests unlocked) with Sir Galveston & he doesn't want to duel me. :(

The Loophole for the extra eager will be patched on October 25th (Patch 7.1) for all accounts that have at least one level 110 character that has world quests unlocked. This is because all alt characters will automatically have world quests unlocked without the friendly reputation requirement.
Aranesh
responded on 10/20/2016
Not necessarily. The patchnotes say every char on level 110 will have the quest and can directly hand it in with Khadgar - no matter the reputation steps. But it sounds like you won't be forced to hand it in. If you don't ..... ^^

Okay cool! Thanks for the info. I guess we will find out for sure come October 25th
Detholis responded on 10/25/2016
Just a FYI, I believe they have fixed some of the loophole. I saw Sir Galveston was a WQ today on my main and switched to my alt that's 110 and doesn't have WQ content open and I was unable to battle him. However, I was able to battle Robert Craig in Stormheim.
Daedrynn responded on 10/25/2016
I, too, was not able to battle Sir Galveston even though I have not turned in the quest to Khadgar to open the world quests. So bummed because Sir G was the very last one I needed. :(

Jeack wrote on 10/13/2016
Can anyone confirm or deny that this is account wide? I can see credit for the trainers I've done on my alts, but I'm not sure if that's just a bug.
The loophole is taking longer than expected, it would be nice to finish on alts and get WQ on my main XD
MightyTG responded on 10/13/2016
I can confirm that if you do it on an alt 110 that is not yet friendly, It counts for account-wide each achievement leading up to the Family Familiar achievement. Every day I get on my main 110, check what battles are available, and if there is any that count towards the Family Familiar that i have not yet done, I do it with one family of pets on my main, then switch to my alt, fly there, and complete it 9 more times with each pet family. If my cards are dealt right, I should have my achievement within the next couple weeks!
Best of luck!
Jeack responded on 10/14/2016
Awesome, thanks for confirming.
And some additional info: you cannot battle tamers if you are not 110. So your alt must be 110 and not have WQ unlocked, but it does appear the credit for each sub-achievement can be done on different toons.
Lueofvelen responded on 10/17/2016
I have been using this technique, and I am only 1 trainer away on 8 of the achievements, and have 2 of them complete. I just flew out to do Varenne, one of the last few I needed to complete the last 8 on my 110 DK who doesn't have WQ unlocked, and was unable to battle the tamer. This is the same toon I used to do all the other battles per tamer in one day. Looks like this has been fixed :(
Aranesh
responded on 10/17/2016
Not entirely, but the Suramar trainer Varenne and Aulier are special as they seem to be tied to the quest chain. Either you need the quest chain, or you can only do them with characters that have world quests enabled. The others are unaffected :-)

Sadly, Patch 7.1 will no longer require you to be friendly with all the factions to unlock world quests on an alt. The world quests will unlock as soon as your alt hits 110. That means the Loophole will be closed. Better use your alts to get as many as you can done before the patch!

Hey Daedrynn!
According to the patch notes you will still get the quest with your alts to unlock world quests. So as long as you keep that in your log and don't complete it, I assume you can still use the loophole :-)
MightyTG responded on 10/13/2016
Good catch! Im in the process of trying to use the loophole pre patch, but not sure if I have enough time to hit each trainer!
Daedrynn responded on 10/25/2016
I'm happy to hear this, Xu! I only have two more trainers to beat (x12) for the achievement. So I guess we'll know for sure in the morning. Fingers crossed!

It's currently not possible to cheese Aulier with a level 100 that hasn't unlocked world quests, I think hes locked behind suramar progression or something? After running my sorry butt out to him on my 110 druid to have him not have any option to battle was kinda irritating :P
Jeack responded on 09/25/2016
I believe Aulier and Varenne are both locked behind rep or something. Supposedly not visible to people using the loophole.
I was told Aulier was up one day in addition to the normal 3 dailies, but I didn't have time to check if I could see them (I have not unlocked WQ).
To those keeping count, this means between Flummox being extremely difficult/impossible for this achievement, and Aulier and Varenne being locked - if you plan to use the loophole you can only use the remaining 12 tamers.
Jeack responded on 09/28/2016
Varenne was up today so I wanted to confirm 100% this is true....and sadly it is.
I can see the NPC, but he says something like "what are you doing here" and doesn't give the option to battle!

Any chance there is any viable substitute pet for Lil' Deathwing ?
I've no way of getting it.
Also is there any viable substitute for: Rotten Little Helper, Zoom and Gulp Froglet?
All in All it's the only 4 pets I don't have, where 1 is impossible to get.
Jeack responded on 09/23/2016
Generally yes. I replaced Zoom with S/S Rabbit.
For the others, I don't know which fights those guys are being used on, but I took the approach that any pet on Xu-fu's list being used in 3 or less fights isn't worth finding and leveling.
I have done 8 trainers on all breeds with no issues so far. The only really specialized pet I've needed was Firewing. I have like 85 level 25s to pick from, but the point is there are many combinations that work. These fights are pretty easy for the most part.
Daedrynn responded on 10/02/2016
I am also looking for a viable substitute for Deathwing. I'm kicking myself for not buying the CE of Crapaclysm now. I won't make that mistake again.

I'll update this post once I have more data, or someone can contradict me, but so far it seems:
One of the dal trainers always seems to be up (1 of 4). So for the loophole this is nice and easy for doing your first 4 tamers (takes 4 days).
But this means the other dailies (33 in total) must share the other two world quests each day. And only 11 of the 33 quests are relevant to this achievement.
...So you have ~2/3 chance of seeing one of the relevant tamers on a given day (aside from the dalaran trainers). 11 *(3/2) = 16.5 days with average luck to finish this achieve using the loophole.
...and something like 200 days if doing it normally (and get average luck).
Jeack responded on 09/08/2016
I misread the achievement - you only need to beat 12 tamers with each breed (not all 15 listed in achieve). Thank god because flummox might be impossible with most breeds.
so 12 days to do with loophole. 120 normally, as xu-fu originally stated.

Just to follow up on this...after 6 days of dal trainers being up, one was not up today. It seems like dal trainers are in the pool with everyone else.
Aranesh
responded on 09/11/2016
It does seem completely random, but with 6 Dalaran fights in the pool the likelihood for them is of course quite high. The only ones that are different and possibly tied to a questline or reputation are Varenne and Aulier in Suramar. They also did never appear on Beta.
Herr Trigger wrote on 09/03/2016
I just hit 110 without having friendly and all that, got the quest from Khadgar to get Friendly with all factions, and to unlock world quests - was looking forward to taking them all down for Family Familiar without needing to wait for the quests to be up, the "loophole" you describe above, but it doesn't seem to be working, for example, Jarrun is nowhere to be found. Is this still the case?
Aranesh
responded on 09/03/2016
Hey there!
I have not tested it on live myself, but saw a few comments from people that it is indeed still working.
However you only see those world quests that are actually available on a given day. So you can either ask other people to check for you, or level another toon to 110 and unlock the quests to check where to go.
Herr Trigger responded on 09/03/2016
Ah, I see, so Jarrun must simply not be up for today. I figured that that may have been the case, but it's good for confirmation, thank you.
Still way better than waiting months for all of them to be up like 10 times each.

Hey Xufu, love your guides, just curious if there is a stable substitute pet for the Searing Scorchling, i have been trying to aquire this pet for awhile now but with no luck, and my server prices are rediculously high.

Hey there! I'm trying around with a Fel Flame currently. It is very similar, but has different stats. I will test the fights with it and exchange where possible. For now I think you can safely assume a Fel Flame works as well :-)
Orpho responded on 08/17/2016
I had the same question! Grinding out dailies in Molten Front will take about a month, so I'm hoping Fel Flame works out!
Dumb Rabbit responded on 08/17/2016
Sweet yeah that is a much easier to aquire pet, if it works that would be amazing, thanks Xufu for the quick response, appriciated.

A technical note: currently selecting a tamer from the general page (=here) leads you to Humanoid section of that tamer. Nothing strange with that, but may seem confusing for someone looking for a specific quest rather than a family (what doesn't mean you can contain that option).
Besides, for all Legion pages ATM could you make ready/not ready tabs distinguishable, by different colour shades or something? I have a difficulty with finding all already available strategies. :3
Aranesh
responded on 07/18/2016
Hey!
The Humanoid selection is because it's the first in the family list. But I see your point. Do you think it would be better if instead there would be a larger list of the Families in the middle to select, before jumping to a strategy?
Regarding the second point, I'd prefer using my time to implement new strategies. There are about 40 strategies available right now. I have another ~40 tested and ready, that I need to fill in.
I do have more plans for the display, showing particularly hard combinations, but my main goal right now is to fill those blanks.
Remte responded on 07/19/2016
(My phone's battery was too low to edit the comment yet another time ^^)
Well, that multiple battling possible also means that browsing by trainers is mandatory. So there is no second option!
Remte responded on 07/19/2016
That's okay. For filling the space, you may include a screenshot that you're going to put on the mouseover aswell. ^^
That or using the left bar for families only, giving you bigger resolution buttons ^^
I respect your plan, just thought it'd take a month or so to fill the gaps, forgeting about the unexpected non-quest catch-up. ^^
Good luck!
