Storm Peaks can be a problematic part of this achievement due to phasing bugs.

However, there is a work around. Where it not a bug that causes this issue, I would not share this.

You have probably noticed that the few battle pets available in Storm Peaks phase out when you get close. There is an easy work around however:

Perch on the outside of the zone that is causing the phasing issues. Do you see a battle pet on your map (Niff is a good place for this)? If you do... okay, follow closely. Stick as close to you can to the phase line, unplug your modem or router, quickly fly over and spam the battle pet, then plug your network back in.

Voila, a work around to a painfully annoying bug.

Until the bug is fixed and it works properly, I suggest you do this. This is what worked for me and it is so simple. We know that there should be a pet at Frosthold (unless caught), so go there. Once there, just window out of the game and then window back in. No need to log out at all.

Found a Arctic Hare at 43.42 57.73 so i did the achivment

Kommentar von Eightbitshik

The achievement is bugged and will not provide you with credit for "Storm Peaks" However, if you log out you will still get the achievement even though the criteria will still be greyed out for "Storm Peaks".

Kommentar von therockbotom

The issue with Storm Peaks seems to be that pets keep disappearing, at least in my case. I think this might be atributted to cross realm.

Finally found a battle pet in Storm Peaks at 29,75. It was a Mountain Skunk. I am not sure why the battle pets in this zone are so sparse, maybe this is due to 1/3 of the possible spawns being weather-dependent. Had 2 pet battles despawn on me once I got close, so it could also be a phasing issue.

Kommentar von ZeroEdgeir

Storm Peaks - One of the single most heavily phased zones, developed when phasing was new. Pet battle problems cause by this, obviously.

I found a Mountain Skunk just outside of K3, but post-battle, the zone wasn't ticked off. I will report back in a moment after I do a Crystalsong Woods one (being the other I am missing).

EDIT: After catching a pet in Crystalsong Forest, I got the Achievement, so if it remains grey, it IS marked, just not displaying.

If you're going for this achievement but it's not snowing, and you've done most or all of the quests in this zone and you may be phased in most or all areas of the zone, as I am, here's where I found something to battle and catch. 27.77, 74.47 on the edge of Frosthold. I targeted mountain skunk and arctic hare critters that were non battle pets and killed them, and within 2 min, a spider battle pet appeared at the above coordinates next to pine trees. Happy hunting!

Kommentar von Emmamental

After a fair few hours of flying around Storm Peaks and encountering many of the problems above (pets appearing, then disappearing as soon as I was close, no pets for the majority of my time etc), I flew over Nidavelir and found a spider.

It wasn't snowing, nothing else was different that I can tell.... it just appeared and I captured it and got the ach.

I was on my mage who has completed a fair few quests in Storm Peaks (enough to buy the ICe Mammoth and fly from Dun niffelm etc). I don't know if this helped with the phasing, or if it was pure chance. However, I had flown around A LOT for even this spider to appear. I slow fell off Frosthold more times than I can count (Horde toon!) and then the spider just appeared somewhere totally different.

Good luck, and hope that gives someone hope!

EDIT: Still no Arctic Fox Kit, but I am now seeing more spawns of other pets. Not a lot (3 hours in SP and 4 pets) but more than the first few hours I spent there. They are dotted around. I found one in that Brun thingy village and a mountain skunk by Frosthold.

You wanna get your pet and you dont see anything? Here is the solution. There is an Arctic Hare just north from Brunnhildar Village. If your are flying from the village, you see it and in a while it disappears into another phase. What you need to do is following. Fly from the village, close to the ground and zoom your view to max so you dont see your character. Head straight to the hare, have it targeted with your mouse and as soon as you see the cursors gets green, go the the ground and quickly try to battle it. If you click fast, you will see Hare disapperaing, but if you are quick enough, the battle is already starting. Maybe you will need couple of tries, but it works.

I was not succesfull founding a pet by killing normal pets near Frosthold as other comment says.

Good luck!

Kommentar von tweetifun

Finally got this today! Storm Peaks was my problem. I couldn't seem to get close to any of the battle pets like many others have mentioned, fly down and they'd phase out. I tried both a character that had done ALL the quests and one that had done zero, same issue regardless. Solution? Bind a key to Interact with target. Get as close as you can to the battle pet's path (once you find one), target the pet, and when it is close to you (as it's going to get) spam that key.

Good luck!

Tried all the techniques listed here. I found the one that works best is unplugging your router, flying closer then replugging it back in. and sspam click on the pet! Finally got my pet tonight.

NOTE: If your router is disconnected for about 20 seconds, the game will disconnect you to login window.

Kommentar von Smoketh

I managed to complete the Storm Peaks portion of this achievement by "racing" to start a pet battle before the area phase shifted.

While flying over Fjorn's Anvil, I noticed a Spider, so I flew down to it and tried to initiate a battle but it phased too quickly. I flew away, zoomed out my camera max distance, then flew back in and initiated the battle before it phase shifted.

If you can find a pet to battle before the phase shifts, you should be able to do what I did and get credit for this achievement.

Kommentar von GaidinBDJ

The Storm Peaks issue isn't so much one of phasing, it's CRZ. When you're on flight paths you see your home server, but once you land, you switch to whatever server is hosting the zone for CRZ, and the pets may not be there. Combine that with weather-dependent pets and it's going to be sparse. You can either try to snag one as soon as you land, wait for snow (the Arctic Kits will be *everywhere*), or maybe try to have a realID friend invite you "back" to your own server. I'm not sure how that works though, I think you'll end up both on the zone-host server, unless your friend is locked to theirs somehow.

Kommentar von DanJack

The Storm Peaks took me about 5 hours and I ended up click on a phased rabbit at 76-63. I had to fly hard at it from Zul Drak to that point and spam clicked till I got him. It took me about 10 tries...This was so painful for 1 stupid pet.

Kommentar von draconero

"Storm" peaks... yeah right. UNstormed peaks should be the name.... where the hell all that snow that is on the ground came from? not from the sky for sure, because I haven't seen a single snowflake in days!

Kommentar von FlameMage

For the Storm Peaks segment, I was able to find an Arctic Hare to battle in the North Terrace of the Makers area. Coords 44.1,40.6. Just another spot to check for those searching, good luck.

edit: Also found an arctic hare north of grom'arsh crash site, 38.3, 43.4

Kommentar von DawnSeven

Just got this achievement without a fox kit and thought I'd post if someone else wanted to try the same thing...

My character has done all of the Storm Peaks quests, including the Sons of Hodir stuff. I saw a battle pet when I was flying over the area, but it would phase out whenever I landed near it. Here's what I did:

Moving around changed the phasing. If I was in the Valley of Ancient Winters zone the phasing had green Sons of Hodir roaming around and I couldn't see the battle pet. If I went into the zone "Brann's Base Camp" (60.5, 57.9) and looked west southwest (to 59.7, 58.8) I could see an Arctic Hare jumping around. Normally I couldn't reach it without leaving Brann's zone or the pet would phase. I watched it hop back and forth and back and forth until I learned exactly where it would turn (and the closest point to the limits of where I could stand) and on a paladin with a flight speed of 492% with guild perks and whatnot I would fly just a couple of feet off the ground (for the speed) and try to hit that spot at the same time the hare would and click on it. It took me 3 or 4 tries but then I got it just right and once I clicked the pet I was able to engage it even though I entered the Valley of Ancient Winters zone and everything phased.

Even if this doesn't exactly work for you at this spot (the hare re-spawned as a non-battle pet) the point is to play with the phasing. If you ever see a battle pet and it phases on you then play with it, circle the area, pay attention to the zone indicators and see if you can maneuver to a place just close enough to engage it.

I have been trying for a long time now to unlock the mysterious 'phase' of the storm peaks that keeps battle pets from appearing. Today I finally saw one!
I did every single quest in storm peaks thinking this could be it since I had been searching for so long. (3 weeks) And every time I got close to one, it would disappear! And I would only see it if I was on the out-skirts of the map and flew in.

I found one at 12:45pm server time Aman'thul at 28.48 on the snow drift plains.
I don't know if the quests had anything to do with it but, I am nearly exalted with the sons of hodir! lol gl everyone!

For those having phasing issues.
As was mentioned by DawnSeven, you can fly into a phased area just before the creature phases out and start a battle.
I've been doing this pretty consistently 56.26 63.07 -- (The canyon between Brunnhildar Village and Dun Niffelem on the ledge above Hibernal Cavern).

Sit up here and look over the canyon.
You'll mostly see Arktishases or Bergstinktiers.
You'll know your phase is swapped if you see corpses rather than the mobs for quests. (Also the name of the new area will be displayed)
When you see a battle pet paw you'll need to swoop down and interact with the pet almost instantly.
The quickest way to do this is to bind the "interact with target" command in your key bindings (I suggest F12 or your scroll wheel if you get agitated with the keyboard).
Fly down mashing the hotkey until you land, this should start a pet battle.
You may need to kill the Streunender Jormungar before trying this.
You may sometimes need to swoop down and quick kill non-battle critters.
You can do this from any location in the canyon, however the place I noted has the best drop to get there quickly. With a bit of practice, you get rather good with it. (don't give up, they will phase back if you miss)
For the elusive Arktischer Fuchswelpe you can do this same trick when it is snowing in K3 on the border of Zul'Drak in the mountains East of K3.

Hope this helps people looking to get this achievement, and please loot your corpses for the skinners in the area.

Kommentar von Shadenfreud

I remembered that the battle pets are account bound and went through my old characters to find one that was over level 70 but hadn't done any of the Storm Peaks quests. I basically used a level 71 druid starting from Dalaran. I ported down to the ground and just road all the way to K3 and a bit further up north where I found an Arctic Hare. Problem solved.

Mountain Skunk at 32.9 86.1

Kommentar von Ghani

Found a skunk on terrace of the makers in Storm Peaks, coords 40/40, had no phasing issues, or any other problems, except that I looked for 2 hours for a spawn.
It still refuses to snow...

Kommentar von 1076907

i got a artic hard in storm peaks at 20:11 uk time at 65:28 48:91 spent about an hour here looking only one i found good luck

Kommentar von 838910

After flying around for hours over two nights and trying almost everything suggested, I tried Nidavelir after Emmamental said she got lucky there and voila! Not only was it snowing there and I found my battle pet but it was the Arctic Fox Kit.

Kommentar von rainsford23

I can confirm there are battle pets available when it is NOT storming in The Storm Peak.

I just got a spider right at the "TLPD waiting spot", south of Temple of Storms, north of Frosthold, right where it shows blue on the map.

9:05pm on Sentinels server.

Note: others also mention that killing the non-battle-pet critters will, eventually, spawn a battle pet. The seems to be the case in other zones (Like the Blasted Lands), so it is a fair assumption - though didn't kill any critters to get teh spider to spawn. He was just crawling around there.

Good hunting, All!

Kommentar von OldWolf2

I found a Mountain Skunk at 29,49 Storm Peaks. Not snowing.

Kommentar von Heimdallen

I found an Alpine Hare around 59, 45 while not snowing. However, it was the ONLY battle pet I found after 90 minutes of circling the map, and when I went to trap it to finally finish the achievement, much to my chagrin I realized I already had 3 alpine hares, and 3 of the mountain skunks that came after the hare. Face palm.

Before wasting 90 minutes flying around like me, make sure you don't already have 3 of the pet you manage to find BEFORE you start fighting it. It didn't respawn for me when I forfeited. FML.

Kommentar von braxs

Easiest way I found was to get a friend from another realm to invite me there. Got Fox kit straight away. I was on hellscream he was on argent dawn.

Kommentar von Randomname2

After searching and searching, finally found a hare at Camp Tunka'lo, towards the top, so be sure to check there.

Kommentar von Stoneboar

Just got an Arctic Fox tonight...now I honestly can't tell if it was snowing as I was flying from Icecrown, and checked the mini-map. There it was...so is everyone sure it has to be snowing?

Am going to check now to see if it is snowing somewhere and get back to this.

I can confirm it wasn't snowing anywhere, and the foxes are plentiful. Don't have any answer other than that.

Kommentar von 1209687

Got my Arctic Fox today! :)
