Happy collecting!

Blizzard recently made some changes to the new pet collecting achievements introduced in Dragonflight.

• Many More Mini Minions (1200 unique pets required, down from 1250)
• Proven Pet Parent (1400 unique pets required, down from 1500)
• What Can I Say? They Love Me. (1600 unique pets required, down from 1750)
• Good Things Come in Small Packages (2k pet achievement removed) - pet reward: Mister Muskoxeles (pet removed)

These changes come after an Annie Fuchsia interview with Game Director Ion Hazzikostas. During the interview it was noted that achievements that are not yet obtainable shouldn't be included unless they can actually be earned by players.

Now that these achievements require a lower number of unique pets, more players will reach the necessary requirements for the following pets sooner:

• Crystalline Mini-Monster (pictured above, left)
• Secretive Frogduck (pictured above, right)
• Violet Violence (pictured right)

If Blizzard sticks to their philosophy of not adding unobtainable achievements, it could be some time before we see the 2k pet collecting achievement again. But we can't help but wonder if it will be updated and have a new reward. We'll have to wait and see.

This week's hotfixes include updates to Jingles, Bakar Companion, and Ohuna Companion. [source]

A Festive Pet
Blizzard has released a fix for Jingles' holiday accessories. Previously, only some players received a version of this pet with a candy cane and wreath. Hopefully with this latest update, all players will get to enjoy this baby raptor's festive appearance.

"Jingles should now have a chance to show up with his wreath and candy cane on summon, instead of being locked into an appearance."

The Hunt For Pets
Included in this week's hotfix are sources for two mysterious Dragon Isles pets — Bakar Companion and Ohuna Companion.

     
"The first three Centaur Hunts each week now have a chance to award a Bakar or Ohuna battle pet."

Make sure to join in the Centaur Grand Hunt Events for a chance at these good boys/girls!

Tis' the Season

Looking for the perfect in-game gift for friends, family, or even yourself? Blizzard's annual Holiday Sale is going on right now — adopt battle pets at a discounted price! [source]

Two battle pets, Lil' K.T. and Pandaren Monk (pictured below), will be retiring from the Blizzard Store on January 2, 2023. This means they will not be purchasable from the shop soon.

     
Although Lil' K.T. and Pandaren Monk will be disappearing from the Blizzard Store, these pets will make an appearance in the upcoming Trading Post in-game feature, so they won't be gone forever.
