Landfall Patch 5.1 Pet Battles: Battle-stones!

The Hunt is on! Spawn of Onyxia in Wyrmbog.
One night I was out farming the Spawn of Onyxia battle pet. Normally, it is not a tiresome drop since it spawns fairly frequently. However, I spent a few hours out there trying to farm a rare quality pet. This endeavor also got me ganked by an opportunistic hunter while I jumped into a pet battle.

Not a happy face.

So you can imagine how happy I am that Battle-stones have finally dropped with Landfall 5.1 Patch. Granted, it won't be easy to get the battle-stones. They are a random drop from winning wild pet battles, and you get a better chance of getting a battle-stone if you win against a higher level pet. Luckily, most battle-stones are not soulbound and can be purchased at the Auction House.
Flawless Battle-Stone in the AH: 9999g!

Flawless Battle-Stones

Now if you are like me, and want rare quality pets, you will need a Flawless Battle-stone. This will directly upgrade your pet quality to rare! There are two kinds of Flawless Battle-stones: general and family specific.

Feeble attempt at farming a dragonkin specific Flawless Battle-stone.
The family specific Flawless Battle-Stone will drop from pets of that family. Can you imagine the grind for dragonkin family battle-stones? However if you are feeling lucky, there is another way to get family specific battle-stones: from pet trainers. Found in the Sack of Pet Supplies that you win from pet trainer battles, the family specific Flawless Battle-stones are all BoP. However, if you run out of trainers, note that the Darkmoon Pet Trainer is a daily during Darkmoon Faire!

Thankfully, I have pet battle fanatic friends like Lustkill to keep me posted since I've been slacking :)

Polished Battle-Stones

The Polished Battle-stones merely upgrade to Uncommon Quality (the green). If you don't have the gold, but are sitting on a mounting of Justice Points, then you can purchase general purpose Polished  Battle-stones for 1000 Justice Points. Of course, if you are like me, Polished Battle-stones are just not quite good enough since Uncommon Quality Battle Pets just doesn't make the grade.

Well, I'm off to farm more pets. Wish me luck!
