Iron Pet Challenge

or:  Your doing what???

I've been working on the amount of exp you can get from pet battles and it inspired me to try an experiment.

Here are the rules.

1) I get exp from pet battles.

2) No quest exp.  i might need to bend this if I find one I HAVE to do but I don't think any zone is locked by a quest any more.

Though it will make getting around Cata zones..interesting.

3) No Kill/Grind XP.

4) Exploration exp is OK because I cant stop it.  More on this later.

5) No equipment upgrades beyond my starting equipment and Safari Hat WoW insists every character of mine might need.

6) Eventually I will be joining a guild, I dunno if they have the exp bonus or not.  Just mainly for guild invite blocking.

Some oddities.

I created my character and opened my statistics to take screen shots and found by logging in I completed 45 quests.  No really.
My assumption is those are the pet battle account wide quests.  So our zero point will be 45 I guess.

I've Acquired 4c form selling my staff.  So I wont kill something if I accidentally click on it.
I'm selling a few pets to get some capital for flight paths and flight training I don't know if that will alter the number.

I found exp went wonky at low levels.  I was getting 9-10 a kill and my pets ah somewhat more.  Mulling this over I decided exploration would be a part of my low level exp since at 10 exp a kill levels would be brutally slow to come.

But there is some light at the end of the tunnel...after a fashion.

So how well did I do after the first evenign /played?  here you go..

Level 4!


Not too awful but it isn't rocket speed.

I'm to the point I am earning FAR more exp from fights.  though I'm also running through level 1 pets like water. So far Ive been able to stick to my stable but soon ill end up leveling wild ones just to get the exp.



Its a fun little challenge to work on.  If you want to give it a try let me know and Ill post your results here.

Special thanks to Redcow from red cow rise for giving me a bit of help in coin while I was waiting for pet sales.  She is amazing.
