Summary

  • A World of Warcraft player reaches Level 80 solely through Pet Battles.
  • The WoW community praised the player's unique leveling method, but some thought the amount of battles and hours involved was too much.

A World of Warcraft player shares an amazing leveling-up feat with the MMORPG community, stating that they managed to level up their character to level 80 through Pet Battles only. World of Warcraft was first released in 2004 by Blizzard Entertainment, taking the Warcraft universe to new heights within the fictional planet of Azeroth. The game was inspired by other MMOs of this ilk, including EverQuest, and WoW has released ten major expansions to date.

WoW is currently offering 2024’s The War Within expansion, and Blizzard announced in 2023 that two more expansions were in the pipeline: Midnight and The Last Titan. Back in March, World of Warcraft included a new pop-up on the Blizzard Gear Store, teasing a product with Samwise Didier artwork accompanied by the Bronze Murloc pet. Pets have continuously been a popular feature within the community, and using the creatures’ battling system to level up is an impressive feat.

Posted on Reddit by flunkeren, a screenshot was shared on the WoW subreddit, accompanied by a detailed explanation of how they reached level 80 by grinding through Pet Battles. It was noted that level 80 was achieved through PvP and PvE Pet Battles, and the feat took seven days to complete using their preferred team of Fel-Afflicted Skyfin, Twilight Clutch-Sister, and Tranquil Mechanical Yeti. There are plenty of great Hunter Pets in World of Warcraft, and the player didn’t equip any specializations to the Hunter after steering away from using Neutral because PvP Pet Battles weren’t available. Additionally, the player confirmed they would start leveling a new character through the same method to obtain the 5000 PvP Pet Battles won achievement.

World of Warcraft Player Reaches Level 80 Through Pet Battles Only

The World of Warcraft player base believes Pet Battles are a hidden gem in gameplay, offering more challenging endeavors when facing pet-owning NPCs, and the WoW community loved the player’s leveling method. One Redditor compared the original poster to a Pokemon trailblazer, but others who wanted to try the challenge themselves were quickly put off by the amount of hours and battles that would need to be completed on their part to replicate the achievement.

World of Warcraft’s Pet Battle System gives players the chance to use their companion creatures in turn-based mini-games, rewarded with the option to capture wild pets to add to their collection and battle NPC Pet Tamers. There are plenty of rare battle pets to collect in World of Warcraft, including Whelplings that have a.05% drop chance and the Hyacinth Macaw pet, which has a.01% drop rate.
