Revision as of 04:04, 21 January 2007


Binds when picked up
Use: Right Click to summon and dismiss Nether Dragon Whelp.
Item Level 20

The Netherwhelp's Collar item summons and dismisses a Netherwhelp, a dragon whelp small pet that follows you around, meaning it is a non-combat pet and will not aid you in battle. The Netherwhelp is the juvenile stage of a Nether Drake.

Source

This item is available only to people who bought the Collector's Edition of the Burning Crusade expansion pack.

Unlike the pets from the Collector's Edition of World of Warcraft, the Netherwhelp's Collar item is attached and sent to all your characters, present and future, in the mail as soon as upgrade your account. Blizzard has announced that once you upgrade your game, you cannot re-upgrade it with a Collector's Edition at a later time. This means that the characters associated with your regularly upgraded account can never obtain this item. It is not yet known if transferring a character to a Collector's Edition account allows that character to obtain the item, or transferring off the account allows you to keep it.

Notes

The Netherwhelp pet caused much anger in Europe because [Blizzard] didn't put a code to get the pet, only the standard one to upgrade an account to a normal Burning Crusade account. They instead implemented a new way that involved:

Finding a unique reference card and the barcode from a reference sheet from the Collector's Edition,
printing your account name and email and,
sending these all in one package to Paris, Blizzard HQ.

Many fans were angered because the items you send are a part of the Collector's Edition. In responce, Blizzard added 2 days of gametime to all accounts and all who got the Netherwhelp would also get Lurky, an exclusive murloc pet.
