IntPiPoMo - Shiny new stuff

Well, the last two weeks I've spent farming have finally paid off. I got my Terrible Turnip this morning. I was so excited yesterday when I looted his ominous seed that I could hardly sleep last night. Even typing this, I'm so excited that I finally have one, and excited to share him with you.

Even disgusting root vegetables are adorable when you put eyes on them.

I also managed to get exalted with the Order of the Cloud Serpents today, which means that this little guy

 

is now all grown up and all mine.

 They even threw me an initiation ceremony.

 

And here we are. The end of my IntPiPoMo journey.  I leave you with another photo from my archive. None of the other pictures I took over the month felt right, so here is a cat waiting for a boat - both the beginning of something and the end of something else. 

A huge thank you goes out to Angelya of Revive and Rejuvinate for hosting. I had a great time participating.

Mr. Wiggles, I Choose You.

Unless you've been under a rock for the past few months you will know about the new pet battle system introduced with Mists of Pandaria. Well, I did my first pet battle this weekend.

For those of you not in the know: the pet battle system allows players to use previously non-combat pets to battle each other using a turn based battle system. You level your pets, capture new pets, battle other players and work towards being a "Pet Battle Master." Does that sound familliar? It should. If there were gym badges it would be Pokemon.

If you thought WoW was addictive before... just wait until you pet battle. I made the mistake of trying it out before I hit 90 and my priest has been sitting at 86% through level 89 all weekend because I could not stop long enough to do some quests. I did; however, capture enough pets to put me over 150. I've been systematically going through zones and capturing all of the unique pets I need in each zone. I'm more interested in capturing them all than I am on the quality at the moment.

Also: I cannot wait to catch a Bandicoon... and call him Socks, that's just how much The Jade Forest still resonates with me

Warcraftpets also has a handy tool to display wild pets by zone, which I have been using.
