Patch 4.3 PTR: New pets and mounts from Darkmoon Island

by Mathew McCurley Nov 6th 2011 at 5:00PM

As you saw in our Darkmoon Faire video tour, the revamped Faire is now active on the PTR. It brings a batch of new companion pets and mounts for you to collect, including the Darkmoon Dancing Bear, the Swift Forest Strider, and seven brand new companion pets. Each of these mounts and pets must be purchased with game tickets, which are earned by winning the game attractions once per day.

Hop past the jump for all of the new pets and mounts and their ticket costs.

Sea Pony Fished up from the waters around the Darkmoon Island.

You can only complete each game once per day, and according to Blizzard, the Faire will only be open for one week at the beginning of each month. It's going to take you a number of trips to the Faire in order to collect everything available, including all of the mounts, pets, heirlooms, replica items, and more that the Faire offers.

Brace yourselves for what could be some of most exciting updates to the game recently with patch 4.3. Review the official patch notes, and then dig into what's ahead: new item storage options, cross-realm raiding, cosmetic armor skinning and your chance to battle the mighty Deathwing -- from astride his back!
