Open on Wowhead ↗ Suggest a correction

What to do

Win a pet battle.

Objective by objective

The quest's own structured objectives. How many of each you need is set by the game when you accept it, so it is not stored here – the sentence above is the quest's own wording.

The quest giver's words

Now that you are a pet trainer, it's time to test your skills!

Head out into the wild and pick a fight with a battle pet. Come back to me after you have won and I will continue your training. Good luck!

Completion

Nice work, <name>! You're better with those pets than I thought!

What you need

Nothing: no quest item is handed out and none is required to start.

The reward

No item reward.

Money
90s
Experience
not available
Observed, what players here were paid: 40s (median of 1 run).

The listed figures and the players here disagree, so both are shown rather than one picked.

  • Money: players were paid 56% less than the 90s listed. At the level cap a quest pays money in place of its experience.

These two markers are the quest giver's and the hand-in's own positions – not where anybody was standing. The recorded positions are further down, under the community data.

What players recorded

Everything below this line is a different kind of knowledge from everything above it. Above: what the quest is, the same on every realm. Below: what actually happened when people played it, uploaded by them, with the number of runs printed against every figure. It is an observation, not a fact about the quest.

This guide rests on 1 completed run. That is enough to show where people went and not enough to trust the timings – treat them as one player's evening.

How precise this guide is

Early guide Built from 1 run by 1 player – low confidence. Every upload of this quest sharpens it: the hotspots tighten, the order and the timings settle, and the parts below unlock as the sample grows.

  • Where to go – pick-up, objectives and hand-in available
  • Typical time and objective order – median and middle half needs 3 completed runs (now 1) not yet
  • Tips – what most players do needs 5 runs (now 1) not yet
  • Where players die – death hotspots on the map needs 5 characters from at least 2 different people (now 1 from 1) not yet

The route

An early route: drawn from the first runs and sharper with every upload. Pick-up, hand-in and the objective hotspots are where the quest is, so they are shown from the first run.

Map coordinates are the addon's own 0–1 zone coordinates (Orgrimmar), origin top-left, x to the right and y downward. Drag the zone map to pan, ctrl/⌘ + scroll or the buttons to zoom; the grid lines are tenths of the zone.
