Very easy fight with a 1-1-1 Anubisath Idol and usually soloable - use deflection on Sunny's Solar Beam, on Root's Stun Seed as the debuff falls off and on Beaky's Lift-off, keep Sandstorm up (especially after Sunlight on the first pet) and Crush your way to victory!

Training with Durian is randomly available in Val'Sharah (46.94, 39.70) and only visible if you've unlocked World Quests.
Rewards will vary.

Durian Strongfruit will have the following team (all level 25 rare):

1. [npc=99015]
elemental
[pet-ability=268]
[pet-ability=753]
[pet-ability=404]
2. [npc=99017]
elemental
[pet-ability=630]
[pet-ability=964]
[pet-ability=402]
3. [npc=99016]
flying
[pet-ability=184]
[pet-ability=567]
[pet-ability=170]




World Quest Team: [npc=55386] (1,2,1) | [npc=85527] (1,1,1) | [npc=15429] (1,1,1)
Essentially: two pets with [pet-ability=118], [pet-ability=230], [pet-ability=513] (list) & an ooze (list). I opted for Syd w/[pet-ability=934] to extend strat's viability, if you use a diff pet you'll just have to use the ooze more.

vs. Sunny
vs. Roots
vs. Beaky
[pet-ability=513]
[pet-ability=230]
[pet-ability=118] until Sunny dies
[pet-ability=513] (unless on CD)
[pet-ability=118]
[pet-ability=230]
Swap to Syd when stunned
[pet-ability=118] until Roots dies
[pet-ability=934]
[pet-ability=513]
[pet-ability=118] until Syd dies
Bring in Ooze
Prioritize:
1. [pet-ability=450]
2. [pet-ability=447]
3. [pet-ability=445]


Durian is part of Family Familiar
(Use the Spoiler tags to view the strats as they're developed/linked.)


Aquatic: Aquatic Acquiescence

  • Option 1: Solo(ish): [npc=18839] (2,2,2) with 2 Aquatic (consider pet w/ [pet-ability=297] for bad RNG).

  • Option 2: Man-to-man: [npc=61088] (1,2,2) (alts) | [npc=61158] (2,1,2) (alts) | [npc=82045] (1,1,2).

Critter: Mousing Around

  • Option 1: [npc=59358] (2,1,2) | [npc=64352] (2,2,1) | [npc=62246] (1,2,1)
    An alternative first pet would be [npc=82715] (1,2,2) - and here is a list of all the snail alts.
    Strategy: here | Credit: ArmandFrvr

  • Option 2: [npc=87257] (1,2,2) | [npc=62246] (1,2,1) | Critter w/ [pet-ability=376]. Strategy below.
    You might find it easier to restart if [pet-ability=1400]'s stun procs on Sunny/Roots.


SpoilerIf you decide not to restart if Durian's pet is stunned, swap to Snail on Beaky & back to Cow when/if Snail dies.
vs. Sunny
  • [pet-ability=163]
  • [pet-ability=1016] on CD
  • [pet-ability=1400] when target has [pet-ability=542]
  • [pet-ability=163] to fill
vs. Roots
  • [pet-ability=1016] after debuffs wear off
  • [pet-ability=1400] when target has [pet-ability=542]
  • [pet-ability=163] to fill
vs. Beaky
  • [pet-ability=163]
  • [pet-ability=1016] on CD (watch timers for [pet-ability=170])
  • [pet-ability=1400] when target has [pet-ability=542]
  • When Cow dies, bring in Snail
  • [pet-ability=310] (refresh @ 1)
  • Spam [pet-ability=445]
If you have to clean up the elementals, prioritize:
[pet-ability=310] refresh > [pet-ability=564] > [pet-ability=445]



Dragonkin: Dragons!
- Team: [npc=68845] (varies,2,2) | [npc=68850] (2,2,2) (alts) | 3rd Dragonkin

- Team: [npc=15710] (2,1,1) | [npc=66950] (1,2,1) | [npc=71018] (1,2,2) (alt)
[npc=73355] (1,1,1) is an option to sub for Snowman or PWS. Waveling sub - consider Crimson or Elementium Geode w/ [pet-ability=488] + [pet-ability=484].

    [pet-ability=513] if Dive isn't enough by itself
    Else [pet-ability=118]
vs. Beaky
  • [pet-ability=564] on CD
  • [pet-ability=513] on CD
  • [pet-ability=118] to fill til PWS dies
  • Tainted Waveling cleans up
  • Maintain [pet-ability=447]
  • Spam [pet-ability=445]



Flying: Flock Together
- Team: [npc=73368] (1,1,2) (alts) | [npc=86447] (2,1,1) | [npc=88225] (2,2,2)
There are 5 moths with these moves, and [npc=97547] can be captured in Val'Sharah. Another option for slot 2 is [npc=81431] (2,2,2).

Spoilervs. Sunny
  • [pet-ability=420]
  • [pet-ability=204]
  • [pet-ability=506]
  • [pet-ability=420] until Sunny dies (~5)
vs. Roots
  • [pet-ability=420]
  • [pet-ability=506]
  • [pet-ability=420]
  • Pass during stun
  • When Moth dies, bring in Ikky
  • [pet-ability=919] + [pet-ability=581]
vs. Beaky
  • (usually) [pet-ability=581] concludes
  • Try to apply [pet-ability=919] before dying
  • Bring in Sentinel's Companion
  • [pet-ability=752]
  • [pet-ability=1233]
  • If needed, avoid round 2 of Lift-Off with [pet-ability=998]



Humanoid: Murlocs, Harpies, and Wolvar, Oh My!
- Surprise! [npc=68659] (1,1,1) can solo. Summary (here) by Skuppis, or play-by-play by Rikade (here). Don't forget to put Humanoids in slots 2 and 3 - [pet-ability=586] is strong vs. Beaky.


Magic: Master of Magic
- Team: [npc=85527] (1,1,1) can make a big dent in this team, usually 2/3rd (credit: Arrkhal - here). For Beaky, I brought [npc=68819] (2,2,2).


Mechanical: Roboteer
- Team: [npc=64899] (1,2,2) | [npc=12419] (1,1,1) | [npc=73011] (2,1,1)
I didn't wind up needing Bling, so another Mech could likely be subbed. If you don't have the Toad, Borelia has outlined how a [npc=68841] (2,1,1) could work.

Undead: The Lil' Necromancer
