Anyway, idk why I'm even talking about Pet Battles in Midnight anymore. YT algorithm got me, and it hit a sore spot I guess 🤷

I would agree w/Hazel that adding more battle pets isn't necessarily great, and some find leveling new ones tedious. BUT. I'd only agree w/that if NEW Pet Battle content (trainers, WQs, ANYTHING) had been added to balance out all of the new "peaceful" content coming. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pt0m...
Is Midnight the End for Pet Battles?

Even the Housing Endeavor addon has me confused. I know I'm capped on my own house's XP from the event, but I'd like to know how much Endeavor XP I'll be contributing by doing tasks. According to this tooltip I should be adding 50xp, yet I just finished and earned my neighborhood 7xp (955 to 962) 🫤

I teleported to the Argent Tournie, and my entire outfit changed?? Didn't change my spec, didn't do anything different, just zoned. Yet the birds at my feet means the game still thinks I have Forest Lord's Antlers transmogged. So weird

Trivia: I was actually going to add more designs to the gold nails, but I started getting a migraine halfway through this manicure. First time I've ever done my nails with my head feeling like it's being repeatedly kicked in 😃

This month has been so hectic and busy for me, and it's not even over yet. Tired, very tired. Social battery completely drained. I'm ready to not be perceived for the next few months, thanks 🫠

Eeyyy it happened to my horde hunter as well. Looks like if you leave the dungeon before BW is finished, there's like, a phantom buff on your hunter pets until you use it again. This time it stuck to both pets

Not sure what bug I've managed to trigger, but my hunter's pet (the one in the secondary slot) is stuck with Bestial Wrath, Piercing Fangs, and Mend Pet (all at 0 seconds left) after a holiday boss run lol. Wonder if this is just a client-side visual bug or what

My mom's living her best life down in AUS, and sending me pics of cute kookaburra 🥹 (I'll go back and visit eventually, just living vicariously through her for now)

In-game gold -> WoW Token -> Bnet balance -> Hearthsteel? Is that path viable, or is Hearthsteel only available via real money 🧐
Housing items are up on the WoW shop, with a new currency, Hearthsteel! The plushie pack contains 4 of each!

Adding DF raids to my to-do list. More chores sigh, but druid fire owl is kinda hard to pass on 🫠
Most players probably haven't noticed yet, but you can now solo Dragonflight raids for full loot. Updated list of what to farm first.

TMI: Found out my gyno is retiring, I'm devastated. It's so hard to find doctors that you like and don't mind seeing. She was my gyn since high school, and was there for my cancer/surgery/recovery. The funniest, nicest doctor I've been to, really going to be difficult to find a replacement 😢

I guess the very teeny-tiny silver lining about Blizz sunsetting PetBattles, is that their predatory marketing focus has now shifted to decor. Not saying they're done with promos involving pets, but seems they're leaning more towards other cosmetics these days 🤨
