So, apparently Deathwing coming out of the ground and destroying everything turned out to be one of the
best things to ever happen
to the World of Warcraft. It's kind of a strange way to look at things, with the paths of destruction in many zones, and the mounting tensions between even our own faction leaders, but as a player I can't help but feel like most things got pretty damn awesome. The new zones look phenomenal, the new quests / zones are more involved and storyline driven than ever before - even though I can't help but feel weird, it's like sitting in my room waiting for the apocalypse because I think it's going to be as awesome as
Fallout 3
or something.
In the last week before the actual Cataclysm comes, there's already once again much to do that most players may not be able to make time for until after their actual Cataclysm plans (such as leveling to 85, leveling a goblin/worgen, etc.). It's okay - because the
time is now
! I've been playing World of Warcraft more this past week than I have in months, and I just wanted to let you guys in on some of the awesome things to do before Cataclysm hits and it's back to the grind! Without further ado, I present to you:
Things To Do Now That the World is Destroyed #1: Get New Companion Pets!
Check out how to get the new 4.0.3a companion pets after the break (and be sure to check 'em out in 3D)!
Cataclysm is bringing a whole mess of new companion pets (don't worry, I'll cover those in depth later) but a few were added sooner, in the recent Shattering patch! Each of these pets are available to
both factions
, though if you a Hordey like me and still a
Bloodsail Admiral
with horrible goblin reputation, prepare to get boned out of the last one.

Mr. Grubbs
is a rare drop from the
Fortune cachée
, an item that has a chance to randomly drop from mobs in Eastern Plaguelands after certain criteria is met. The
Fortune cachée
will not drop unless you have the buff
Charme de chance de Fiona
. In order to be able to receive the buff, you must be at least level 39 and first complete the quests offered by
Fiona
, who asks for your help in finding two of her caravan party,
Tarenar Frappesoleil
and
Gidwin Nattes-d’Or
. Simply find these two guys and perform their tasks (which consists of saving their butts, avenging their fates, and collecting items to make peace with Fiona) and return with 'em to Fiona. Her nearby wagon,
Caravane de Fiona
will then offer repeatable quests for a variety of buffs, the important of which is
Le porte-bonheur de Fiona
! Simply complete the quest to gain the buff, and get to killin'!
Mr. Grubbs is a pretty charming little guy (for a disgusting grubling), and performs flips through the air. I guess you gotta compensate somehow.

Brazie's Sunflower
is rewarded from a rather involved quest chain out in
Contreforts de Hautebrande
. This quest requires level 20, and starts at
Brazie le Botaniste
, who gives you
Botanique élémentaire
, introducing you to a new,
Plants vs. Zombies
-inspired minigame (appropriately nicknamed Peaceblooms vs. Ghouls)! As you progress through the levels, you unlock new plants and can obtain the next quest in the series. After you have finally survived all of the rounds and defeated the final boss, turn in
Gazon maudit
and you'll receive your
Graines de tournesol de Brazie
!
Be sure to check out the extensive strategies detailed by our own users on the
Gazon maudit
quest page for tips and tricks on defeating the final encounter!
Brazie's Sunflower, voiced by Laura Shigihara, likes to steal the show by singing bits of her Plants vs. Zombies' theme song,
Zombies On Your Lawn
.

Withers
is a gloomy little dead treant available via a quest for Alliance players and from a vendor for the Horde. Unfortunately, for Alliance players, this little guy requires a bit more work as he is rewarded from the quest
Souvenirs d'Auberdine
, which only unlocks after completing a rather long and involved quest chain. You can see the full prerequisite quest chains required
detailed here
by user
sunsmoon
. I suppose it isn't all that bad, as I'd assume that many Alliance players would be interested in doing the quest chains and finding out what's been going on since the destruction of Auberdine. Just be sure to loot the
Lettre de Hurlenfer
from
Jor'kil le Faucheur d'âmes
, which unlocks a necessary quest.
Horde players, on the other hand, need to head out to
Sombrivage
and seek out
Apothicaire Furrows
, located at the back of a cave just southeast of Lor'danel. He will sell the pet to Horde players for , but keep in mind that the pet is bind on pickup so don't plan on buying more than one! Also, keep in mind that the vendor NPC is hostile to Alliance, so he very may well be dead when you head out there - but no worries, he's on a fast respawn.
Withers is a rather unique pet in that when he initially summoned he's
huge
, but he gradually 'withers' away and gets smaller and smaller, until he ends up at a normal companion pet size (similar to the
Jeune pousse de Teldrassil
). Taking him for a dip in a source of water will make him grow larger again ("Withers absorbs the water, growing back to full size.")! Sadly, he still looks pretty dead (though not as dead as his 3D model, please disregard the slash through his tummy).

Petite flamouche
Tiny Flamefly
is just a recolored
Luciole
, though he is arguably easier to obtain! This little guy is obtainable to both Horde and Alliance players, thru separate (though similar) and extremely long quest chains in the
Steppes Ardentes
. Both factions start at Flamestar Post by taking and completing all quests available there, starting with
La vengeance est un plat qui se mange brûlant
or
La vengeance est un plat qui se mange brûlant
. After all quests at Flamestar Post have been completed, you and your new accomplice (
Ariok
or
John J. Keeshan
) will head over to Chiselgrip, slaying Blackrock Orcs on your way.
Once in Chiselgrip, you will be instructed to assemble a disguise (
Un costume parfait
or
Un costume parfait
) and you will use this disguise to infiltrate the Blackrock orcs and perform a variety of tasks, including some for the Blackrocks themselves! After a handful of quests, you will be sent to
Général Thorg'izog
, who will give you some quests to perform in the Blackrock Stronghold. While on the quest
La loi, c’est moi (et le fouet aussi)
(
Alliance version
), you will 'discover' the quest
Abus de pouvoir
(
Alliance version
). Accept this quest and perform the tasks as designated, which will finally lead to the quest to earn your Flamefly!
Horde players will be directed to
La corniche des Flammes
, where they must speak with
Kibler
(who is still Booty Bay faction for no good reason at all) and obtain the quest
Pas des lucioles, des flamouches !
. Upon completing this quest, you will finally be awarded the
Petite flamouche
! Alliance players are sent to
La Veille de Morgan
, where they can obtain the quest
SEPT ÇA SUFFIT !
from
Oralius
and get their
Petite flamouche
!
The Tiny Flamefly shares animations with the
Luciole
(from the
Luciole capturée
) and just hovers around making annoying noises and cleaning the firefly snot from its nose. I
might
be biased because I have neither pet.
Also, don't forget that the
Mini Ragnaros
and the
Œuf de sélénien
(which contains
Bébé sélénien
for Alliance players or
Bébé sélénien
for the Horde) are now available from the
Pet Store
! Be sure to check out our
detailed blog
on those lil' guys (which contains 3D models and videos)! And you
need
these pets! The Moonkin Hatchling will dance with you (just /dance with him targeted) and attempt to fly, and Lil' Ragnaros not only submerges and reemerges from the ground (when he's not tossing his
Sulfuras, Main de Ragnaros
), but most importantly, Lil' Ragnaros apparently functions as a
Feu de cuisine
. Yeah, that's right.
You can cook on Lil' Ragnaros' head.
