The Very Best (Level 10-40)

Like no one ever was!

Edit: This quest is now deprecated and no longer available, the new Legion version is [quest=44174].

This quest is only available to be picked up and completed during the weekend Pet battle bonus event from [npc=94870] next to your Garrison town hall or from your Adventurer Journal, and can be completed once per weekend bonus event per account, as it not completable on multiple characters.

A buff [spell=186406] granting triple xp from all pet battles will be visible on your character when the event is active and the quest will be removed from your quest log once the event is finished so make sure you finish it before 11pm on Monday.

You can queue for pvp pet battles by clicking the "find battle" button in the bottom right of the pet collection interface. Make sure you have 3 decent level 25 pets as you do have to win 5 battles.

Some tips for the quest:

• 
  
• You can pick up the quest What We've Been Training For at the same time as doing this quest, you'll get half the progress for this quest doing this one, it also gives a guaranteed [item=98114] to help with your pet levelling that's also available this week. Bustaalakir's comment also gives a few good, workable strategies if you're having trouble devising your own winning strategies.
• 
  
• You also get some credit for Deadly Pet Brawler whilst doing this quest... which is nice.
• 
  
• Since you can get this quest on a character that isn't level 100 and pvp pet battles give a fair amount of xp, it might be worth doing this quest on a lower level alt for the extra xp.
• 
  

Rewards an [item=122457] which can be used once to boost any of your pets to level 25 on use, a useful tool for instantly levelling new low level pets you want to use.

So if you have attempted this then chances are you have had a lot of difficulty and been struggling with it. At least I have. Then I ran across a player that worked my pets over like punching bags and decided to run it with a substitution. It has been extremely successful for me. Here are a few variations:

Original Team:

Unborn Val'kyr 2/2/1
Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling 1/2/2
Darkmoon Zeppelin 1/1/2

The player basically came at me with Curse of Doom, then Haunt. That gave them a free switch to the Dragonling for Thunderbolt to do excellent aoe to my back-line pets. It's extremely fast too so they simply used Decoy and then Breath to finish off another pet. By this time CoD went off with Haunt and it killed my other pet. It's a nasty hit. Same goes for Zeppelin. It isn't as fast as the Dragonling but it has the bombing run, plus the block from Decoy. Interesting to note, the Dragonling is actually a great counter for the Zeppelin if you come up against it because Thunderbolt does extra damage against the Zepp.

My Team: (I have yet to lose with this team. Had a couple scary situations but play smart and you'll be fine)

Unborn Val'kyr 2/2/1
Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling 1/2/2
Clockwork Gnome 1/1/1

My beginning is usually the same with the CoD and Haunt. Obviously if their first pet counters undead, don't start with her. Then depending on what they bring out I'll go for the Gnome or Dragonling. The Gnome's turrets are strong and if you're up against a tanky pet that puts out weaker damage you may actually have time to heal up. I was able to get off a full repair against a Son of Sethe. The Gnome is also surprisingly fast. Same strat of using the Dragonling to spread the aoe and Decoy.

Third Variation:

Unborn Val'kyr 2/2/1
Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling 1/2/2
Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling 1/2/2

I have not tested this one myself but thought of it as I was writing this up and thought it might be a possibility. It would provide excellent aoe damage and give the blocking abilities. Even though Decoy has a long cd, Breath is a very heavy hitter and both Dragonlings would provide a lot of speed.

Hope this works for you!
