CATCHING SUMMER

Pet collectors will want to mark their calendars for June 21 when the Qiraji Guardling begins to spawn once more for the summer season. You’ll be able to find and capture this wild pet in Silithus through September 23.

Summer is the perfect time to head out to the lakes, oceans, and streams of Azeroth to do a little fishing.  During the spring and on into summer, the Raw Summer Bass is available to catch and counts toward The Oceanographer achievement which requires anglers to catch 31 different saltwater fish.

Looking to cool off, but water sports aren’t your thing? Go fly on a Rocfeather Skyhorn Kite in Highmountain and catch a cool breeze. Some assembly is required however, and you’re going to need to do a little footwork to add this Toy to your collection. To assemble, you’ll need to collect a Derelict Skyhorn Kite, Shimmering Roc Feather, Delicate Roc Feather, and Gleaming Roc Feather from treasure chests throughout Highmountain. Once assembled, you can glide from the top of Highmountain Peak (or any tall spot) and ride the winds above the Broken Isles.
