In regards this post: https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/stop-reducing-ppc-rewards-for-worldquest/1607811

Most days we see 75-125 Polished Pet Charms from World Quest rewards, with the occasional spike to around 200. In the PTR build of 10.1.5, this has been cut down to roughly 1/3 of what is currently rewarded by WQs. For all but the most dedicated pet battlers/collectors, reducing the number of PPCs from WQ rewards will severely punish many players.

As it stands right now, if WQs averaged 125 PPCs per day, it would personally take me 127 days to earn enough charms to purchase all of the current purchasable pets I’m missing from my collection. With the current reduction in 10.1.5, I would be looking at over a year straight if I didn’t miss any days. Newer players/collectors would be looking at 2-3 years straight to earn all their required charms to complete even a fraction of their collection.

I’m not sure what a proper solution would be. It’s clear that there is an intent to drastically reduce the amount of Polished Pet Charms available to players. Unfortunately, it will put the “end game” pets purchased with charms (ex. Flawless Amethyst Baubleworm @ 10k, Scout @ 5k, and Miloh @ 2500) all but out of reach unless players are willing to farm WQs across multiple characters. A full run of pet battle dailies for PPCs runs 40-60 minutes. That’s hours up hours of additional time players would be sinking into repeating the same 4-8 World Quests to keep up with what is possible on one character currently.

Hello.

The original bug that reduced the number of polished pet charms in Dragonflight was fixed soon after it was discovered. The charm rewards for Dragonflight quests should be back to where they were before that bug occurred.

We hear your desire for more sources of pet charms, and we’re currently looking into ways we can do that, though we’re not ready to announce any yet.

Thank you for the feedback!
