Katy Stampwhistle Mailbox Toy & the Mailemental Battle Pet

Okay .....  this quest line is both a lot of FUN and super FRUSTRATING!

I spent most of my evening and an hour or two this morning trying to get this quest line done to not only get my Katy Stampwhistle Mailbox Toy .... cuz let's face it, who couldn't use a mobile mailbox??? ....  and my Mailemental Battle Pet because..... honestly ....  I'm obsessed with Battle Pets....  it's my THANG... ew, where did  that come from.....

ANYWAY ...

I subscribe to a few Battle Pet YouTubers ..... but I adore HazelNuttyGames ... She has a YouTube I will add at the bottom you can watch.  I look at her videos first ...  so most of my pet teams is from her suggestions - or a combo of hers and other peoples depending what I found that worked for me. 

I had also looked it up on WOWHEAD ....   Lost Mail Quest Line

Basically - to start out the quest, you camp ONE PARTICULAR mailbox in the NEW Dalaran (Broken Shores) ....  it's the one right outside the The Violet Citadel, at the bottom of the stairs leading up to the building.  The "LOST MAIL" can be found on the ground.  The spawn for it reappearing is thought to be around every 3 hours.  But it only shows up at that mailbox, just that one.  So you will probably find people camped, waiting, and then it's like Black Friday when it appears.  Toons punching each other, feet in faces, the cows, holy moly ...  they hit like a ton of bricks!!  But the undead are easy to break.  Just saying....

There is two OTHER  ways to get a "Lost Mail" also .....

1: You can buy it off the AH ....  This is what I did ... because I got tired of camping for it and got crushed by too many cows....

I actually got mine for 26K last night.  (this is on Uther/Runtotem)

2: When someone completes the quest (completing up through the SHORT Game) ...  they then get the Katy Steamwhistle Toy (your new portable mailbox!) ...  and you also get a "Lost Letter" (the pet you don't get until you do the LONG game, 30 letters in a minute) ...  now you might wonder, what the hell you are going to do with that damn letter when you just finished the quest line, butttttt.....  If you like someone, like if they are your friend, and you know that they need it too, you can wave it around in their faces .... and tell them to start sucking up to you ... and you might share.  OR ... you can post it on the AH for a little extra cash.  Now, when this first became available I saw the "Lost Mail" up on the AH for over 100K ... now I got mine for 26K ... so depending on your market, you could make a few copper anyway ...  So your new "Lost Letter" is to share or sell... 

I already sent mine to my husband.... because, well....  if I didn't I might end up with divorce papers even though he told me to go ahead and post it on the AH <--- it was a trick.  

Once you got the "Lost Mail" ... your first stop is the Black Market Auction House Lady (Madam Goya) down in Dalaran Underbelly ...  after you do all that, you go visit the mailbox, because the next part of  your quest goes there (you don't get anything from Madam Goya)...

So go to your mailbox and pick up your next step.  Then you go to the Dalaran Mail Room....

So this is the ONE and ONLY mailbox....   see the grassy knoll there.... well, you walk that way and about where the dragon is (up in the air) ... is about where you want to go (but on the ground)

So you keep walking .... through the graveyard.....  

And when you come to the Pet Cemetery (watch out for lil Gage!  You never know!!) .... anyway, look to the right....

You'll see this tube that comes up out of the ground.  (See the post above where I wrote Pet Cemetery... that's part of the gate around the Pet Cemetery) ...

.... so you click on the tube and you are magically dropped into the Mail Room!

When you get in there, it's kinda Harry Potter like... which  makes me squeel like a fangirl ... cuz I'm weird.... 

 Dude has a lot of "lost" gold....  ummmmmhummmm ... just sayin..... 

and when I saw Pepe!!!

Yeshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :D

So first you bop around the room clicking on the flying envelopes....  super easy.

Then you are told to get a bag of solid stone (which is in the Mail Room, sparkling) ...  and you need to (click on) the bag of soild stone (which makes you move like you are walking through molasses) and you gotta go toss it through a portal.

So you click on the tube to exit.  It doesn't matter if you mount up or what you do, you won't move faster.  Anyway - once you get back out to the ONE AND ONLY mailbox ...  heehee....  you hang a left.  I literally went the entire circle ... so you hang a left at the mailbox and you run all the way down to that ...  what is it, I think ... a bank right?   Anyway .... you run all the way down to the end of the line, and then when you get into the little courtyard, you'll see the gate to the left ... and once you get up to it, you'll see a little stone button appear on the bottom of your screen and you just click on it, and the bag will be sucked into the portal....

Then you run back to the Mail Room....

Then you are sent to get "forgotten loot" from Lord Voldemort ..er ....  The Lich King ... basically you get Invincible's reins .... BUT NOT TO KEEP ... I know I know...  BUT WAIT ....  I had a dumbass moment.... I went and ported my damn self to that area, and went and fully ran ICC .. dumb ass....  so don't do that.  WAIT A DAMN MINUTE because Katy Stampwhistle ... Postman Apprentice Extraordinaire... will open a portal directly to an already dead Lich King.... so you go loot him, while fighting two dumb badies ....and then one more big badie ... KILL ALL THREE .. it's part of the quest ...

Then if you know a mage, make nice and offer cookies, and see if they'll port you to Theramore, and then catch the flight path down to Feralas

After a little bit of back and forth, Johnny wants you to go pay respects to his horse....   So that sends you into Eastern Kingdoms....

So once you click on Mimiron's Head, you can head back to the Mail Room ....

Once you are back in the Mail Room you have to play a mini-game of the mail sorting variety ...

You need to get 15 pieces of mail, correctly in the tube of the continent the zone and town are in.

 You get the zone and town on this round.... and you need to get 15 in one minute ....

Once you complete the short game, you get some goodies.... you get the Katy Stampwhistle Toy and a "Lost Letter" to share/sell.

 Katy Stampwhistle, The Postmaster's Assistant ....  and Katy Stampwhistle the (faded) Toy!



In order to get the Mailemental Battle Pet ... you have to continue and play the LONG game....

This time you only get the town (not the zone) ... and you have to get 30 in one minute.  Yep, that's right!!  You barely got 15 before, it took you a few tries?   Yeah, well .... good luck!  It took me several hours.

I did do the WeakAuras thing...but it does't help that much.  If you are looking at the cities, you won't have enough time to get 30 of them... it helped in the sense that it helped me learn the cities.  So after 400 some hours .... nah, I did it for several hours last night, and then about an hour this morning.  But I wrote them down several times in hopes that my brain would retain something....

There is a code out for WeakAura (WeakAura2) ...  we couldn't get it to work,but my husband did.  There is another in the comments that DID work for me, but it has a lot of blank spaces (you'll see what I mean if you use it) ... 

But in order for me to learn the towns, I had to write the lists down a couple of times.  In the code that works, there are some abbreviations and misspellings .... just a warning ... 

HERE IS THE LIST - each continent has 10 cities

NEW PET *SQUIRKY* Avaliable 5-23-17

I woke up this morning, in my sleepy still not fully awake stupor ..... looking at my WOW launcher, I see......

I always get excited when I see stuff like this ...

I clicked it ..... leading me to...  HERE

I was thinking ..... wait, isn't there a pet that was not available in game yet (on my list of pets I haven't gotten yet) named SQUIRKY ....  ???

I check, and sure enough.... IT IS ON MY LIST, as one of the six pets that were available on the PTR and not in the live game yet....  YESHHHHHHHHH ....  Now I'm totally engaged with finding out more..

I - at first - thought,  OH...with the plush, it must be like the other two plush/in-game pet combo things they had before, but nope.  This is just the plush....

AND there is the in-game-pet, completely not connected... well, I mean connected but not connected.... 

I dive into the research ... I search my favorite place for anything Battle Pet related, WarcraftPets(dot)com ....

(Click on the pic to go to the site it'self) 

Still as a "Coming Soon" pet....... hummmmm......

And then I dive in deeper into research...  and this is what I find....

Off the coast of Aszuna on Seabreek Isle (19,20), closest flight point (it seems) is Challiane's Terrace

So that's where I went, to that flight point, furthest north, and I went to the water and ran on the water (with my Water Strider mount.)  I got to the point where I was right across from the island and I could see it....

So I went out there (see my little toon icon on the map aboce, yep - right out there..... I thought, it's in the waters that will bring up FATIGUE and eventually kill your toon, but nope, the fatigue bar didn't even come up.

So I am sitting there.....

And I get closer...

And eventually, as I'm scouting the island (I literally went all around it to see if I could find one access point where there wasn't a ton of badies that were going to kill me),  but I see there is a SEA of 110 ELITE Murloc ALL OVER THE ISLAND and all around EVERY pet battle...  and I'm just a lonely squishy mage .... who's going to die....

(Re-plays the days of being a newbie in Goldshire at the Murloc camps where they do nothing but EAT YOUR FACE OFF) .... yep....  that happened....

But another toon came along and created an opening so I didn't get attacked by three million Murloc and die instantly. (but I did die) plus I have my Invisibility so I can use that and engage the fight and not get DEAD.  And that's exactly what I did, basically 3 times ...but I still died when I first ran up onto the island getting agroo'd by some lone sneaking freaking Murloc, and then I figured out the plan and yep - I got this!) ...

I used my Go-To Team ... 

Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling
(1,2,2)  Breath, Thunderbolt, Decoy

Pandaren Water Spirit
(1,2,1) Water Jet, Dive, Whirlpool

Chrominius
(1,1,2) Bite, Howl, Surge

Even though the Howl Bomb was nerf'd at the expansion pre-launch ...  it's still my go-to-team.

This set-up beat all three Squirkys that I collected.  This is what I got ....

Two Whites and one Green - and I didn't TRY to get a blue or anything.  All of them are B/B (Balanced) ......  From what I've read, most people are getting mostly grey and white, I hadn't even seen anyone get a green before I did.  (in the comments I read) ..

But, Squirky is worth the blue stons!  S/he has the following attacks....

Top Row: Punch, Clobber, and For Adventure!
Bottom Row: Fish Slap, Stampede, and Bubble

I got a screenshot of Squirky doing For Adventure!  It's kinda cute!!  He blows a horn and it makes a horn sound!  Heehee...

Definitely cute.  Pretty easy to get, especially if you can kill several 110 Elites without getting dead.

Happy Hunting!!  If you've got anything to add, please feel free to leave a comment!
