I have a number of rare pets that I've obtained over the years, and I'm curious as to whether or not these pets, because of their rarity, will be more useful than the easier to obtain pets in the upcoming pet battles of MoP.

  • More useful how? Vanity pets sound like they're the definition of useless.

  • I removed the word "vanity", as its a bit misleading from what I'm asking here. I simply want to know if the pets that took me more work to obtain will therefore be more useful in the pet battles system.

  • rare is also used to define a "blue" item in wow and now pets can have that type of quality so that is not a good word to use either.

The quality of the pet(can bee seen by the color of the name plate) decides how much stat a pet gains each level, so a rare quality pet(blue name plate) will be better than a common quality pet(white name plate) in the long run.

Originally all non-captured pet where of common quality (white), but blizzard have changed it so some of the harder to get pets will be of rare quality(blue).

An updated list can be found at the blue post.

  • Awesome. Thanks Blem. I'm glad to see that all of my efforts over the years might be useful for something else other than simply showing them off. :)

Some pets may have some different abilities or feature cosmetic differences, but no player will ever have a significant advantage based simply on the rarity of a pet.
