Guide awaiting review

1

Search For Black Rat

Black Rat most commonly appears as a secondary pet in battles rather than as the main target, so engaging any wild pet in areas where Black Rats are known to roam can surface one as a secondary combatant.

2

Identify True Black Rat

Black Rat and a black-colored Rat mob look nearly identical and differ only by name, so check the name carefully when engaging any black rat mob to confirm you have the correct pet before attempting a capture.

3

Hunt For Rare Quality

Rare quality Black Rats can be found, including as secondaries in battles against other pets such as toads, so engaging a variety of wild pets in the area can yield a rare Black Rat as a secondary even when the primary target is a different species.

Tips

  • Black Rat in Classic Pandaria may not add to your pet collection despite being caught, so verify collection status after each capture.
