New pet battler here

Farming PPC without “gear”.

As Exris said, while there is RNG variiation, on average there are usually 20-40 PPC per day available from World Quests.

Most of the WQ are unreasonably easy.

Here is a post I made about how to farm them all with just three pets.

and here’s another:

Ikky: Black Claw → Flock (-> Savage Talon if the first opponent pet is still alive).
If the first opponent pet dies during Flock, you have a choice of applying Black Claw or Flock to the second opponent before you die.

Anklerender / Kneebiter / Footslasher: Black Claw → Hunting Party → Leap.
If Ikky already applied Black Claw, you don’t need to apply it again. If Ikky already applied Shattered Defenses from Flock, you might want to take advantage of that with Leap before you start your run. Depends.

Starlette: Wind-Up → Supercharge → Wind-Up.
If there is a barrier like Bubble or an avoidance move coming, do
Wind-Up → Powerball (however many times) → Supercharge → Wind-Up.
Finish up if necessary with Wind-Up → Wind-Up or Powerballs.

Not all battles will necessarily use this exact formula, but that’s the default.

Comments on Breeds:

I’m using a P/B Anklerender just because. I’m pretty sure that a P/P or S/S would be at least as effective.

I’m using a H/H Starlette because it survives AoE in the back line better and because of the extra health when it resurrects after Failsafe. I think a P/P would probably be at least as good, though, because Wind-Up → Wind-Up on its own without Supercharge is so much more effective.

You can also do almost all of them almost unthinkingly with three Nexus Whelplings (Breed P/P preferred though P/S will probably do) you have to capture, or Stormborne Whelplings (only P/S available) that you can buy at the AH, with Arcane Storm, followed by Mana Surge and then Tail Sweeps.

These are terribly inelegant ways to brute force the BfA battles, but they will get you your Charms like clockwork.

Final thought.

I know this is a LOT.

But think of yourself as a new player who has just taken a boost to 120 with green gear, facing BfA start and systems, knowing nothing about geography, flight masters, whistles, world quests, bags, vendors, auctions. Such a player would be very confused and annoyed that everything is so complicated and not the way they expect.

Yeah, that’s you right now.

You want your PPCs fast? Put your hand in your pocket, buy the three pets I mentioned for the WQs, and the Stormborne Whelpling, all as Blue 25s, and start grinding.

You want to understand what’s going on? Do your Taming achievements from the ground up, and capture all the major wild pets needed, in the breeds needed. Use the cheat sheets at wow-petguide.com if you must, but work your way through the Pandaria, Draenor and Legion dailies. And then grind them to level more pets.
