How Many Pet Charms? 10k?
The new Shadowlands patch, 9.1, is now on the PTR and we have a list of some new battle pets which will be coming in that patch. There are 45 listed so far in the journal and the most notable of these is the Flawless Amethyst Baubleworm which is listed as costing 10,000 Polished Pet Charms. That is A LOT! I am sure I have never even collected that many in total before. The pet looks quite cool but my goodness it costs a lot, and it's not even unique. There are three other Baubleworms listed, Turquoise Baubleworm, Topaz Baubleworm and Ruby Baubleworm. These three pets are listed as costing three different grey items each, which some people have commented will mean they have to turn off their automatic junk selling addons :) All four Baubleworms will be sold by a vendor in Oribos.
In preparation, I thought I would try and get the 10,000 pet charms before patch 9.1 arrives. You can get the pet charms from Shadowlands pet world quests, Shadowlands command table, BFA pet world quests and the BFA mission table. I didn't think that you could do the world quests on multiple characters but looking at it again today you can, although some of my alts do not seem to have them unlocked in BFA and only three are levelled for Shadowlands. I will not be able to do every quest every day but time allowing, lets see how long it takes.
I will also have a look at the grey items required for the other three baubleworms and see if can also acquire them. They are:

Blizzcon Celebration Selection
With the epic celebration bundle, the additional thing for World of Warcraft is 30 days of game time however, since the jump up in price from heroic bundle to epic bundle is more than 30 days game time costs and the other additional items were for games I don't really play, I didn't think it was worth it for me and therefore I purchased the heroic bundle.

Nice Mount Day from Islands
This lucky week the boxes available were:
Crestfall Salvage (175 Dubloons)
Jorundall Salvage (175 Dubloons)
Verdant Wilds Salvage (120 Dubloons)
I had some Dublooms saved up so I bought a few boxes. The boxes can contain pets, mounts and transmog rewards which usually drop from the islands. From my first box, Crestfall Salvage, I got four items Old Jon's Left Hand (Fist Weapon), Plundered Pirate Admiral's Bicorne (transmog), Leatherwing Screecher (pet) and 2x Island Flosam (rep tokens)

| Squawks (mount) "Guess why he's called that? It's not because he's a nice quiet pet." |
Also whilst running a few islands with my friends I got Surf Jelly. Initially when I saw this drop I thought it was a pet and didn't really look at it until later when I checked my bags and realised it was a mount. This is a mount that only works in water. If you jump near the surface it will despawn which is a little annoying however, you can use it in Nazjatar.

First views of Nazjatar and Mechagon
First Pet Drops
First up Nazjatar. Deep inside the Darkwater Cavern in the south of the zone is Blindlight (37:82) the Necrofin Chieftain. He dropped the pet Necrofin Tadpole which is a humanoid pet and is really cute with a yellow fin and glowing green eyes.

This made me think there may be multiple colours of other pet drops too, let me know in the comments if you come across any and also what were your thoughts of Mechagon and Nazjatar initially and if your views have changed now its a few weeks on. Happy pet hunting.

Watching Hazel really is Lucky
On to the final boss. On starting the encounter, which on heroic difficulty starts when you break the pipes inside the arena, I defeated Will of the Emperor and the final pet Mogu Statue, Baoh-Xi also dropped. All three pets in 1 run is pretty cool.

BfA Pets: Rebuilt Mechanical Spider
If your factions robot wins this battle you will be able to loot a part from the corpse of the defeated robot which, when all are collected, can be made into the pets.
For the Horde you can make the Rebuilt Mechanical Spider, a small version of the Alliance Spider, Arachni. The parts need to be looted from three separate Faction Assaults and as these are on a rotation it should take almost three weeks to get all three parts. For the Horde the parts you can loot are Handful of Glass Spider Eyes, Steel-Plated Arachnid Exoskeleton and Mecha-Spinneret. You can increase the chance of your robot winning the battle by collecting and handing in Alkalescent Salt, dropped from the Saltspine Krolusks and Krolusk Hatchlings by the bridge, and handing them into Blixthraz for Horde and Binny for Alliance. This will not guarantee the win but can help. There is a World Quest to collect this salt, Q - Battle Bots - Requirements: Alkalescent Salt x10, Give Salts to Blixthraz/Binny, but this does not have to be up for you to loot the pet parts.
As the spider parts and therefore the spider pet can only be looted and created by Horde players, this pet can be caged and therefore if you only have an Alliance character you should be able to buy these from the auction house. Currently on my server they are between 10-20k gold.

Uuna's Story: Part #2 - A New Friend
Uuna " Can anybody hear me?"
Uuna "Hello? Who's there? I heard you, Who are you? Can you help me? It's so dark! I can't see a thing!"
Uuna "Are you sad too? Are you lost like me? At least we're together now. We just... don't know where we are. But you're my friend, and I know it's gonna be okay. I wish I could see better. It's always so dark here!"
Now for a road trip.
Uuna "What's that? A light in the darkness! It's so bright... It's too bright! Too bright! Owww!"
But when she realises the light is too bright she runs away again (and despawns summon her back).
Wanna Be Friends: Bring Uuna to the moonlight at Lake Falathim in Ashenvale. For horde take the flightpath from Orgrimmar to Hellscream's Watch and fly west. Lake Falathim (18:41) is between Maestra's Post and Zoram'gar Outpost. Uuna runs up to the stones. The moonlight helps her to see.
Uuna "It's gotten a little brighter! I can see... sorta, Oh, Hi! Who are you? I'm Uuna, wanna be friends? Maybe together we can get outta this place. I wish Nuu were here. He'd know what to do."
Using the goblin glider float to the first one and after waiting for the cooldown on your glider to reset, from the highest point glide over to the further away island.
Enter the house on the island and there you will find Nuu. Nuu is a little blue bear which Uuna will carry from now on.
Uuna "Nuu-Nuu! I was scared I'd never see you again! How did you get here? Nuu is here to help us, friend. I knew you'd find us, Nuu! I'll hold onto him so he doesn't get lost again."
Shooting Stars: Next stop on the road trip is Bloodmyst Isle. For Horde this is quite tricky to get to. First go to Darkshore and speak to Zidormi to revert to pre BfA then fly across the sea to Ruttheran Village in Teldrassil. The dock on the far left as you fly in from the sea has a portal to Exodar, take it and then run through Azuremyst Isle and across the bridge to Bloodmyst Isle and on to Blood Watch. Take her to the table near the house furthest right on the map which is just down the path from the flightmaster (56:56). She will pick up a wand and carry it from now on in her right hand.
Uuna "I used to have a wand like that! Lost it a long time ago. It shoots stars! Bad guys really hate that."
Flower Crown: Next take Uuna to Shadowmoon Valley (Draenor). Use the Garrison hearthstone and then fly to a little camp in Shadowmoon Valley (56:41). Here Uuna will pick up a flower crown from a chair next to the fire.
Uuna "A Crown! So pretty! You can't fight the dark without a crown, friend. It's the rules. I feel a lot better now."
Uuna Gets Kidnapped: Suddenly void tendrils come up out of the ground and surround Uuna.
Uuna " It's dark again! Where did you go? Don't leave me! No! Let me go! Help, friend! HELP!"
Uuna disappears and when you try to resummon her it just says Uuna is missing!
Getting Marked: To rescue Uuna, first you need to speak to a spirit healer and to do that you need to die. In order to die I removed my armor, flew up into the air and fell.
Talk to the Spirit Healer and ask about Uuna.
"I'm looking for a little girl named Uuna, have you seen her?"
Spirit Healer "I have heard the cries of the child you speak of. I shall mark you, that you may pass into this realm and seek her out. She resides in a place where the barrier between the realms of life and death are thin, and spill over into your world. Be warned, you have no power in this place, its denizens cannot be harmed by mortals. Try as you might, you may not be able to aid your friend."
Shadow of a Tear:
Next go to the Emerald Dragonshrine which is south east of Wyrmrest Temple in Dragonblight, Northrend. In the eye of the skull east most in the shrine you will find the Shadow Tear, click on it to start the scenario to save Uuna.
Scenario
Uuna "Friend? Is that you? I won't give up, friend! I promise! I'm just so cold, and it's very dark here. I don't know what to do!
Uuna is cold, put down a campfire next to her.
Uuna "GO AWAY! WE'RE NOT AFRAID OF YOU!"
Soul-Eaters appear and start to move towards Uuna. Run into them to knock them back a bit but they keep on coming more and more getting closer and closer to her. After a while they almost begin to overwhelm her.
Uuna "Friend? Are you still there? I'm scared! I--I can't do it! I just wanna go home!" Uuna wraps her arms around herself and begins to cry.
Give Uuna a hug /hug. (You hug Uuna)
Uuna "F-friend, you're here! You didn't leave me! Mama told me the Light would always find me. That's you, friend. You're my light! And as long as my light is with me, there's no way the darkness can win! My light is super strong!"
Uuna "I'M NOT GONNA BE AFRAID ANYMORE!"
Uuna "The darkness is gone! I can see! Oh, friend! We did it! We beat them! What... what's happening? The light... it's telling me to follow it... Mama! Papa! They're waiting for me! Wait a sec... There's so much I never got to do. So many places I never got to see... Is it okay if I stay with my friend? For just a little while longer? Friend! The light says I can stay! Woo-hoo! Tell Mama and Papa I miss them, and... and I'll see them soon! Okay, friend, lets get outta here! We have so many places to go!
Uuna gives you a hug.
Uuna is now your non combat companion complete with Nuu, her sparkly wand and flower crown but there is more. Uuna wants to see the world, there are so many things she never got to do and so many places she never got to go, so it is time for road trip part 2.
To be continued... (Uuna's Story: Part #3)
