Hunting Lesson: Tiny Apparition

Some helpful tips:

1) Take the Valdisdall flight point in Stormheim. Go out the west gate to the cliff edge at 58, 49 and either use the grapple hooks to get down to the swamps of Tideskorn Harbor, or float down with kite/slowfall/levitate/etc. You will find several of these little ghosts floating in the air above you at:


/way Stormheim 55 45 Tiny Apparition

2) Do not put your Direbeak Hatchling in your first slot, because the Tiny Apparition always casts the powerful Curse of Doom and you don't want to risk your Hatchling dying because then you may not get quest credit. Quest credit is buggy right now. Sometimes I got credit without even using the Hatchling. Sometimes I didn't get credit even when he soloed the fight. Just keep at it until you get three wins. They should take less than 2 minutes per fight.

3) Tiny Apparition is an Undead pet that can appear with several different backline pets, but they are usually Critters, Aquatics, Flyers and the occasional Beast. Almost all the snails have abilities that can counter Undead, Critters and Flyers. The Rapana Whelk is my favorite snail pet. It is easily found in the wild, including in this very area, if you still need to capture one. Go for the H/B tanking breed because it has a whopping 1790 health and can easily withstand the blow from Curse of Doom.

Your Hatchling is strong against Aquatics. If you encounter a Beast, just take him down with one or two of your Hatchling's more powerful abilities. Here's my team that is very effective in this fight:

Rapana Whelk (1,1,2)
Direbeak Hatchling (1,1,1)
Rusty Snail (1,1,2)

*** BONUS TIP: Most of these Falcosaur quests award 16,000+ XP to characters over level 100. So accept the quest from your Hatchling while on your main (the quest wont be offered below level 110) but then turn the completed quest in on one of your lowbie alts to get the quest credit and xp. Also, probably a bug, but you never know... You can then use another level 110 alt to pick up new quests from your hatchlings. It seems that only one quest was supposed to be offered by each hatchling per day, but using alts will allow you to complete several quests in one day.

just to clarify. Unlike the previous pet battle quest your hatchling DOES need to be part of the fighting team.

***safest route*** several times if your Direbeak or other hatchling is not in #1 slot you won't get credit for fight.

Direbeak ( 1,2,1 )
Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling ( 2,1,2 )
Iron Starlette ( 1,1,1 )
- start with Ironskin ((dont worry if you get hit with Curse of Doom, it may or may not happen, mine did 2 out 3 fights and survived all with 3/4 health)).
- Swap to Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling
- Bombing Run
- Decoy on cooldown
- Flyby as filler spell
Tiny Apparition dies
- continue rotation until Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling dead
- Swap to Iron Starlette ( he destroys the 2 remaining pets )
**your choice both rotations work well just repeat them**
- Supercharge
- Powerball
then
- Windup
- Windup
- YOU WIN
