Pet leveling tipFollow

This may be old news to some, but here's something I stumbled on yesterday.

Team:
Random level 1
Flayer Youngling (high level)
(XXX beast or elemental Hatchling with Sticky Web and Leech Life - high level)

Really, the Flayer Youngling is enough on its own, or the Hatchling can probably work alone too, but will take a little longer.

Take this team to the end of the peninsula just east of Stoneplow in Valley of Four Winds. There are a ton of critter groups there. As long as the level 1 can survive the first hit (and often the critters will do a non-damage attack) and land a small hit, you're good to go. The Flayer Youngling can tear through the critters, yes all three, and barely takes any damage. If you need to swap in the Hatchling as backup, that works just as well, just not as quickly as the Flayer.

With this basic setup, you can level a pet to 10 (and higher) very quickly. The pets respawn quickly in this area and you barely have to move. There are hardly any mobs to avoid. You really don't even need to use pet bandages, since the two high level pets will not need much healing and the low level pet will get healed as it levels.

Note: you'll get an aquatic enemy every so often, too. These don't go down quite as easily as critters, but still don't present much of a problem.

Anyone else have any other similar situations they've found?

If your mains are Flying and/or Dragons that have Lift Off, Jade Forest works awesome for this, there's a LOT of aquatics in Jade Forest. Flyby + Lift Off = Dead in 3 rounds. Even better if you also have a heal spell (Pterrodax).

Plenty of places to do this.

It does work pretty good, yeah. If your Level 1s can't survive it, try the daily pet battle quests: Elwynn Forest/Westfall/Redridge -or- Durotar/Northern Barrens/Ashenvale.

The 3 quests will take a level 1 to level 10 with practically no danger, if you do them in order.

I'm sure everyone knows it, but Tamer Nishi is basically a few thousand free experience per day; perfect for leveling a new pet. Most of the time she starts with Siren, her sunflower, which only does two things: spams refresh on itself, and every 6-8 rounds, uses the solar beam spell (I think it's solar beam; it does like 180 damage to all pets and turns the weather to Sunny Day). To counter, simply bring an aquatic pet with tidal wave and Cleansing Rains - I personally use the seahorse pet I fished up from Darkmoon Island. Spam Tidal Wave until the two backrow pets die, and use Cleansing Rains to change the weather and heal your pets. Unless you stun Siren, Nishi never switches her out. When the others are dead, using a big single-target attack (Pump or Whirlpool) to finish the fight. Bam! Longish fight but absolutely no danger, and 3-4k experience plus the bag of goodies.
