World-of-warcraft – How many pets are there in Mists and is there a limit

world of warcraft

In this first-hand account of getting started with Pet Battles in Mists of Pandaria, he captures plenty of new pets in just the Stormwind/Elwynn Forest area:

  • Stormwind Rat
  • Fawn
  • Squirrel
  • Small Frog
  • Black Lamb

That seems a huge number. Is there a limit on pets in Mists? How many pets are there now in total? Pre-Mists I believe the number was around 180-200.

Best Answer

The number of pets has indeed exploded with Mists of Pandaria and the introduction of pet battles. There is still a limit because there is still a finite list of pets added to the game, ie. there is no dynamic generation of pets, all the new ones are in-game as critters/etc. I can't find a number easily in game despite the new interface which lists all pets including the ones you don't have yet, however Wowhead has the number pegged at 662 and there are achievements all the way to 400 pets collected currently in game.
