Leveling with Pet Grinding

[ltabdiel]

I am sure plenty of people would enjoy a profile that leveled them by grinding for the many drop pets. Here is an example of the leveling brackets that could be used.

22-29 Wetlands - Crimson Whelpling
30-33 Alterac Mountains - Black Tabby
34-39 Swamp of Sorrows - Emerald Whelpling
40-42 Badlands - Dark Whelping*
43-44 Dustwallow Marsh - Dark Whelpling*
45-47 STV - Hyacinth Macaw*
48-50 Felwood - Disgusting Oozeling**
51-53 Ungoro Crater - Disgusting Oozeling**
54-57 WPL - Disgusting Oozeling
58-60 EPL - Disgusting Oozeling
60-67 Zangarmarsh - Captured Firefly ***
68-74 Northrend - Farming Eternals/Mats****
75-80 Zul'drak - Gundrak Hatchling

* = These can all be moved around because they are for around the same mob level, and they cover a lot of ground, although grinding level 47 will be tough as you out level many of the mobs, but Mixed-Mode leveling will help a lot.
** = These can be adjusted as well because they are the same mob level.
*** = This is a bit of a stretch and is only possible for the last few levels because of Mixed-Mode getting BG Exp. If you can time this during a BG weekend you can reap some huge benefits; otherwise it can be a bit of a struggle.
**** = There isn't any known pets to grind here so a good Eternal grinding profile would work well to cover this gap.

Note: This profile may have issues to the mobs being on different continents and may require the user to manually move the character at times.

Good luck to whomever wishes to take on this task.

It sounds good... but most people would rather not move their toons around just to gather some pets while they level =/

With HB2 you don't have to.

The world mesh should do it for you, and I take it that boats and portals are gonna be included.
So ultimately with HB2 you don't need to do anything when it's done.

I'd like to see this made. Get on it

Well, if a dev can confirm that portals,boats and such will work, im up for making it

Only downside i can see, Vendors will be a bitch, first one there are no horde towns in wetlands so would be a trashing walk through arathi risking death to mobs 10-15 levels higher.
Swamp of sorrows would be a hefty run for alliance, as would Alterac.
No need to explain further i guess.
But its possible, just not as practical.

They won't. Not for the foreseeable future anyway.

Well.. i think it's useless to put time in it if it won't be possible to afk with it...

Making separate profiles for the pets in-case someone wants them, will be a good idea though

Swamp of Sorrows Alliance can go to Blasted Lands to the keep for repairs and vendor/mailbox.
That's just around the corner from the swamps.

Horde wetlands have a longer walk indeed.

This is no where near perfect, just something I threw together for you.
It includes vendors for each faction, except for 30-33, which is only available for horde.
I can separate these into their own xml if this doesn't work.

Haven't tested it yet, but I was curious if you were using a utility to make it so fast, or just are that good

Rather easy to make your own profiles with HB2. Look up where the items drop on wowhead and map around the locations.
Of course since I got back into botting I've been making my own profiles, so knowing what to do shortens the time to make em.
But I doubt that this will be a huge success unless I break apart the given areas into their own profile.
