Another very safe levelling strategy (kudos to Nyari):

Evanescence -> Moonfire -> Arcane Blast until first enemy is dead
Evanescence -> Arcane Blast until Sprite Darter dies
Level pet
Swap to Mud Jumper - devouring blaze uses Armageddon (if not, use Water Jet + Swarm of Flies, then it uses Armageddon)
Against Living Coals keep Bubble on cooldown and Water Jet otherwise until the fight is done.

I created a few other strategies as well that are a bit faster and use more common pets, but without taking a carry pet along. You can find this one and the others here

Only Pets Can Prevent Forest Fires is randomly available in Val'Sharah (56.23, 65.27) and only visible if you've unlocked World Quests.
Rewards will vary.
- Quick Note: this is NOT a part of Family Familiar.

[npc=105093] will have a trio of rare level 25 fiery elementals:

1. [npc=105090]
|
[pet-ability=113]
[pet-ability=172]
[pet-ability=179]
2. [npc=105087]
|
[pet-ability=472]
[pet-ability=173]
[pet-ability=1025]
3. [npc=105086]
|
[pet-ability=812]
[pet-ability=392]
[pet-ability=1408]


My Team:

  1. [npc=55386] (1,2,2) (I wanted speed slower than 289, so the only suitable alt for this would be [npc=62829])

  2. [npc=70098] (1,1,1) (might be able to sub out for any pet with [pet-ability=276])

  3. Aquatic backup w/speed > 227 - I brought [npc=63847] (1,2,2) (alts)




vs. Cackling Flame

  • [pet-ability=230]

  • [pet-ability=297] (charge)

  • [pet-ability=297] (hit)

  • If needed (unlikely): [pet-ability=118]


vs. Devouring Blaze

  • [pet-ability=118]

  • If Pony is still alive, you'll be able to pull off a [pet-ability=297] charge/hit before dying.*
    *In every fight I tried, Blaze always used [pet-ability=173] in round 2.

  • Bring in Spawn of G'nathus

  • [pet-ability=276]/[pet-ability=779] if it will kill, otherwise [pet-ability=564] first.


vs. Living Coals

  • [pet-ability=564] on CD

  • [pet-ability=276] to fill

  • If necessary: clean up with 3rd pet - [pet-ability=297].
