*Added guide on completing your dailies in the most efficient way possible*
Building An Army Of 25s In A Day
So perhaps you've been tied up on the gear treadmill and haven't gotten to truly enjoy pet battles yet. Perhaps you started out but after a few days you became sick of how little progress you made. What if I told you that you could have an army of 10+ level 25s in about one day with very little effort?
In this article you will read how to acquire a huge army of 25s in no time. It comprises of two methods that can be used hand in hand to blast through levels. With these techniques there really is no point in paying gold for higher leveled pets. However, I had purchased a level 25 phoenix hatchling because they are very powerful and the price was only 2k. I would suggest you only purchase a few if they are at a great price. Reason being, you will gain more achievement progress if you level your own pets to 25 and you will save a lot of gold. Another thing to consider is that you cannot uncage a level 25 pet unless you have leveled one to 25 ^.^
I suggest you become familliar with WarcraftPets.com as it will be your main pet resource
Phase One
The method below will be your bread and butter. It is your most reliable way of powerleveling pets from 1-25 in under an hour and you can do it an unlimited amount of times per day. You want to use this method until you have raised enough level 25s to blow through Taming Azeroth. I would recommend leveling an Anubisath Idol*, Emerald Proto-Whelp*, Unborn Val'kyr, Eternal Strider and perhaps Clockwork Gnome but you may need another wild card or two.
Method One
* You will need a level 25 Anubisath Idol and Emerald Proto-Whelp by the end of phase two
* You will need to complete Taming Pandaria
Phase Two
You should have completed Taming Pandaria and have the dailies unlocked before going further.
Method 2 is a limited speedy power level that can be done 3 times daily 1-25 in under 2 hours by utilizing Anubisath Idol, Emerald Proto-Whelp and any pet that you chose to carry.
***If your Anubisath Idol and Emerald Proto-Whelp are not at level 25 yet, skip to the footnote at the bottom of this section
Optional:
As you are doing Pandaren Spirit Tamer with your new Safari Hat, before you turn in the quest that allows the Pandaren Spirit Dailies you can repeat easy pet battles with the Anubisath Idol, Emerald Proto-Whelp and Carry Pet as mentioned in Method Two for loads of bonus exp. Once you turn in the quest you will only be able to battle these spirits once per day!
Method Two
*** Read and get a feel for Method Two. If you have not finished off your Anubisath Idol and Emerald Proto-Whelp, complete some of the pet battles mentioned in Method Two using the following team: Anubisath Idol level 20-24, Emerald Proto-Whelp level 20-24 and a level 25 of your choice to help ensure you will win the battles. Try to complete some of the battles and do not let your pets die. Finish off the fights with your level 25. After about 2-3 battles your pets will be level 25 and you will now be able to use them to carry level 1s.
Phase Three* NEW
Thought you were done? Below you will find a guide link to how to complete your dailies in the MOST efficient way possible. This includes a single team set up to destroy the Beasts of Fable. This section requires a specific army of pets. Since there are specific pets you will need leveled to use this guide you can fall back on the Anubish Idol and Emerald Proto-Whelp for that strategy (method two).
Guide To Completing Your Dailies In No Time
Cheat Sheet
Keep up this Cheat Sheet on your dual monitor / print it out. It will come in handy especially for PvP Battles
Using Battle-Stones
Keep in mind that while you are battling wilds and tamers you have chances to acquire Battle-Stones of various types. Several are family based (you can only use the undead battle-stone on an undead etc) however rarely you may acquire a Flawless Battle-Stone. This you can use on ANY pet of any family. These do not bind so if you see these on the AH for less than 2k I would suggest you buy a few for your difficult to acquire pets.
I would not use these stones on anything that could be obtained easily. They should be used on battle pets that are said to be difficult to acquire such as the ones I had hunted day one *listed below*
*Acquiring Battle-Stones From Tamers*
As you do method 2 which takes you through many Daily Tamer quests that need be unlocked, you will acquire Pet Supplies which have a chance to drop various Battle-Stones. You must do method 2 on one character without opening any of the bags until you are done. The reason for this being that recently they changed the way these work so for every bag that you open in a row at one time that does not contain a Battle-Stone, your chances to receive one are increased in the next bag. Save your bags until you are done and open them all at once!
Another thing to keep in mind* Soon there will be more pets available so I would suggest saving Battle-Stones unless you have acquired some of the rare pets such as Unborn Val'kyr, Scourged Whelpling and Emerald Proto-Whelp as well as Kun-Lai Runt. I would say these ones and possibly magic broom are well worth the use of the upgrade to rare quality. If you are particular about breeds make sure that they are the ones you want! I personally do not care about breeds atm. Perhaps in the future I will.
Two Days Later
Now I'm at 17 25s or so in 2 days... few days ago my highest level was my level 14 Rag :3
I also spent a lot of time getting my Emerald Proto-Whelp, Scourged Whelpling, Minfernal, Nexus Whelpling, Flayer Youngling, Unborn Val'kyr, Fel Flame, Infinite Whelpling, Qiraji Guardling, Restless Shadeling, Fluxfire Feline in my first day. I had used a few of my battle-stones on the ones that were not already rare. These pets are all very hard to acquire so don't ruin everybody else's hunting by taming / releasing them all looking for a rare when you can use a battle-stone on the breed you want. These pets are difficult to acquire due to CRZ and rare spawn conditions. You should do your research on each of these pets that can be hard to obtain before you go out looking for them. Also research breeds if you are interested in maximizing your potential with each pet you obtain.
In the future realms will be completely merged. This may make these more difficult to acquire than how they are currently with CRZs. I did not have a terribly difficult time on Akama which is shared with Tichondrius.
Collecting Your Rares
I used NPCScan to help acquire the rares. I have changed my creaturecache file to read only (Applications > World Of Warcraft > Cache > WDB > enUS > Creaturecache.wdb * Right click * Get Info * Change To Read Only * Lock Document*) so NPCScan's cache will reset everytime I exit the game. When you add a pet to NPCScan you cannot open your pet battle pain or else your NPCScan will not alert you once you cone across the pet in game. The pet battle pane triggers the NPCScan and caches the pet for the session. The only thing you can do after accidentally opening your pane is to exit the game and relog. Before you go out searching for a rare pet, make sure to set up your pet battle team and then exit the game and log back in. You will see what I mean.
Wild pets come in different breeds. You can read all about them here and choose which breeds you are looking to acquire.

After you acquire the desired pet you can remove it from NPCScan simply by typing

EDIT
Always make sure to know the whereabouts for your nearest Stable Master as you can pay 10s to have all of your battle pets healed and revived to full without using your CD nor a pet bandage! This is key to saving time.
