Pets in New Cataclysm Zones

Every zone in Azeroth will be affected by the coming Cataclysm, but some brand-new zones are being added as well.

Here's a run-down of the pets we know about in those new Cataclysm zones.

Kezan & Lost Isles: Goblin Starting Zones

Goblin characters start in the city of Kezan and quickly move to the Lost Isles.

Unfortunately only Goblins will ever see these zones, and even goblins cannot return to them after they have left.

Kezan

Goblins start in the city of Kezan but leave around level 5. Most experience here comes from quests and so grinding to tame one of these pets is not terribly feasible.

Lost Isles

Goblins move to the Lost Isles zone around level 5 and leave around level 12. This zone has two islands and many different phases.

Gilneas: Worgen Starting
