This is a basic leveling guide for anyone just starting out with the Pet Battle System that was introduced in Mists of Pandaria.  For those of you who don’t know, the Pet Battle System allows you to take your companions and turn them into battle pets where they will be able to participate in 1v1, 2v2, and 3v3 fights around the world.

1. Focus on following the quest line and defeat the trainers.
2. Trainers award greater experience than killing enemies in the field.
3. Don’t use a high level team of pets to defeat low level trainers it only wastes experience that could be attributed to a lower level pet team.
4. Don’t farm a lot of rare pets at lower levels because you’ll end up replacing them at higher levels most of the time.
5. The first few levels are really easy so it won’t matter where you do them at.
6. When you get high enough always fight near a stable master where your opponents are equal or weaker than you.
7. Fighting higher level opponents makes your team work so it’s important to be near a stable master to avoid the 8 minute wait between fights.
8. If you have Herbalism or Mining you can farm herbs and minerals while you wait for the cool down to make extra gold.
