Patch 4.2: New achievements include new daily areas and companion pets

Some of the achievements hint at some awesome characters showing up in unexpected places, like Have... Have We Met?, potentially getting Mankrik, Thassarian, Linken, and more on the front lines in Hyjal and the Firelands. Also, pet collectors are going to jump for joy, as collecting 100, 125 and 150 pets now rewards players with pet biscuits for 100 and 125, and a new pet, Nuts, at the 150 mark.
Zul'Aman bear runners will be happy to know that Bear-ly Made It is now a reward for completing an Amani War Bear run.
The most interesting achievement, however, is WoW's 7th Anniversary, which allows the player to transform the appearance of their tabard but still retaining the bonuses the tabard grants. What could the tabard turn into? Who knows?! Potentially something awesome, I'm sure.
While it isn't tied to an achievement, this build also brought us a Keg Pony for Brewfest, not to be confused with a Pony Keg.
Check out all the new achievements at Wowhead.

They really should change "patch 4.2" into "Season 4 Episode 2."

The pet biscuits will be nice. I have about 100 of the ones from the card game, but it'll be nice to have an in-game way of getting them =).

SQUIRREL!
Seriously, I'm psyched about that as a pet, as well as the other pets and mounts. As God as my witness, I will be a raider to get these goodies!

Hopefully it will be a squirrel on fire.
You know, Firelands and all.

SQUIRREL! I always wanted a non-robotic one. Though I would also settle for my existing mechanical squirrels being renamed Rabid Nut Varmint whatever-number-they-are.

Any word of Koltira? I'm really wanting to know what his story is unfolding.
Arrohon May 13th 2011 8:04PM
HOW his story is unfolding.

Nothing yet, he will most likely come when the horde "deal" with Sylvanas, and I am quite sure Thal and Kot will have something to do with her ending.
Because let's face it, she needs to die NOW, and this is an Orc talking, she has gone too far.

LINKEN'S BACK?!
Will he be using his Sword of Mastery??
Aigarius May 15th 2011 8:51AM
more importantly, will he have a park?

Ludicrous Speed! Go!

Looks like Ghostcrawler finally gave us our pony.
Now where's our moose?!
MusedMoose May 13th 2011 8:32PM
...dude, I'm right here.
^_^

...you can get the title "the Flamebreaker"? @_@ Well, I know what I'll be doing on my fire mage.

It'll go well with Flame Warden or Flame Keeper
themightysven May 13th 2011 8:40PM
I was pretty surprised that Linken wasn't in Vash'jir somewhere
Felix_NZ May 13th 2011 10:50PM
He was, he was just horribly confused and lost, and his map was of no use whatsoever because HOW DO YOU EVEN GET TO THE OTHER SIDE?

When I first saw the Pet Biscuits as a reward, I thought it might be a persisting, non-consumable item.
It'd still be nice, especially for all those pets.

Mankrik? In Hyjal? Ragnaros better hide, cause Mankrik's gonna make him and his army squeal like little piggies.
