What is this strange pet you ask? It's essentially Khadgar's head. In a ball. Unfortunately, it is a non-combat pet, which is a real shame!

The flavour text for this pet: "A magical wisdom-filled head in a ball bearing Khadgar's visage, it can only answer questions with a few phrases."

The pet (Чудесная сфера мудрости) summons Чудесная сфера мудрости and is a quest reward from the Враги повсюду quest. The item that starts this quest, Странный гудящий кристалл, has a chance to be contained in the Сундук Кирин-Тора, the Emissary cache rewarded for completing 3 World Quests.

Ahahahaa!

View in 3D and go through the emotes.

This is the best thing Blizzard has ever done.

Kind of like a magic 8-ball.

Personally I love feeding him Magical Pet Biscuits and just chilling out in Dalaran while people who have no idea what he is freaks out at the giant head.

The single greatest thing about his wondrous wisdomball is the fact you can play fetch with it using Мячик для игры

Комментарий от emeskorlov

Came across a cool little feature of the wisdomball today. I was in my class hall and Khadgar's head says something like " High Priest! I have been looking everywhere for you, I know the head in the ball... I am trying something a little bit different." He then proceeded to gave me the Богиня благоволит тебе . What was even more interesting about it was the fact that I did not have the wisdom ball out at the time.

Old-timer herbalists can bring back yesteryear and pull Khadgar's Whisker from the comfort of their own home.

Remember, you can't put this pet into cage. You can sell it only without learning it!

Комментарий от Gigabear

This pet is primarily a reference to the Magic 8-ball, but also seems to reference the Hologram of Dr. Lanning from I Robot which often said "My responses are limited. You must ask the right questions."

You can also use Зеркало Нарциссы to transform it into yourself, which results in viewing the actual emotes when asking questions, often to hilariously mismatched results. Apexis Crystals are apparently dance worthy.

In a future patch/update, this will probably be soulbound when you complete the quest. I accidentally learned it when I was trying to sell it and figured it didn't hurt to ask if it could be restored... here's what the GM told me.

Game Master <redacted> here. I just got your ticket about accidentally right-clicking on the Wondrous Wisdomball and wanting to have that item back so you can sell it on the auction house. I can completely understand why that would be frustrating to accidentally learn it, especially if you really wanted the gold from selling it.

I looked into this for you, however this item and the pet that you learn from it actually weren't intended to be traded at all. There is currently a bug in the game that is allowing this item to be tradeable when it's not intended to be. Since we did not intend to have this item be tradeable, we cannot undo this learning of the pet and restore the item back to you, I'm very sorry.

Комментарий от Grahran

Sadly as of patch 7.2, these are now soulbound and can no longer be placed on the Auction House. However, you maybe fortunate to find one on the AH, if posted prior to 7.2, but once the auction has expired, it will become soulbound, so hurry if you're looking for one!

I found out the hard way and now have 4 in my inventory, and paid 100k for them.

~~I just got mine and found out it doesn't fly with you, it drags along the ground. Khadgar can put his head in a ball but can't make it fly with you? Really?~~

Update: it still doesn't fly in 7.2.5, but you can use Волшебная тарелка. That'll make any pet fly with you :)
Update 7.3.5: still no flying.
Update 8.0.1: still no flying.
Update 8.3: No end in sight, still no flying. Khadgar's head continues to rest on a platter Magical Saucer.
Update 9.2.5: It finally happened! It FLIES!

To obtain this pet you have to find Странный гудящий кристалл that can be dropped from Сундук Кирин-Тора.

Speak with Khadgar to pick up the quest. You have to find and slay eight dangerous infiltrators (if you ungeared) across the city.
Quest leads to one of the funniest pets - Чудесная сфера мудрости. You can interact with it and ask the question and ball will answer. There are possible answers under the spoiler:

Лу Тычок can be found in the Legerdemain Lounge.
Ханнис Странница Отмелей stands next to the fountain. Kick casts and dodge rain.
Саваш Призывательница Ветров is near the stairs to Krasus landing.
Хью Манн can be found in Ally bank, he just casts shadowbolts, easy frag.
Классик Ларри - enter Underbelly using entrance under the Violet Citadel, he just sits next to a wall as you entered. This one is hard, dodge ground slam.
Ли-Ань Небесное Зеркало sits next to a building near the Horde bank. Seems, she's the hardest one. Танцующий журавль and Выброс ци deal much damage and must be dodged / kicked. You also should kick healing spell - Целительные туманы
Невинный Джим can be found next to mailbox at Krasus landing. He uses vanish and open with powerful spells, so better to use any defence..
Сестра Сила can be found in The Arsenal Absolute store on the second level. Pull her to the street to make the fight easy.

Don't look for the Странный гудящий кристалл in your bags! I didn't get the item, was about to logoff, then noticed I had auto-accepted Странный гудящий кристалл. It doesn't popup a dialog, so I barely noticed it on the side by my quest objectives.

Комментарий от laeknir

Perhaps a reference to YouTube's "Taliesin and Evitel" wondrous wisdom show (WoW updates, patch notes, other silliness), where they have a Khadgar head floating around?

Комментарий от IAmEnchanted

I can confirm that using Зеркало Нарциссы will transfrom the pet into a copy of you, he won't spin but will emote randomly and say the same lines.

the textbox doesn't show up if the character is female though.

Комментарий от Fallerup

this is an obvious nod to Taliesin & Evitel as this is what they use in their videos all the time.

Whats the drop rate on this thing? It feels like Ashes of Alar 2.0...

Holy crap, what a tedious timesink in old content even. Maybe this pet I skip.

Комментарий от Matekipanda

Still obtainable June 10 2019 (finally)

Комментарий от Kallipsa

Obtained on July 18th. Took forever. Lots of different alts and my main trying. Well over 100 attempts. Cannot Cage/Cannot Battle. Basically only used for counter/summons at this point. Still cool though. Super rare now because you cannot buy on AH. Good to know I can finally be done with these dailies since there is no need to ever get more than one. Good Luck All!

Is this Pet still available? Where can I get this from?

Комментарий от Malvenue

So is this item a toy? I have in on my action bars but I can't see it in my toybox and I don't see an item in my inventory, either.

Комментарий от Gyllbane

It's unfortunate that this, despite being a hovering pet and highly popular/sought after because of its uniqueness, still doesn't follow your character in the air like other flying pets do. I love it, but I hardly ever use mine because the constant spawn -> drop -> spawn -> drop animation gets distracting.

Комментарий от johnnysebre

I farmed this pet because I'm a collector and I was very nostalgic about hearing the phrase "Your sound card works perfectly". I played Warcraft 2 for a long time without sound back in the day, and I remember being around 12 when I got my sound working and heard that sentence in the test voice clip and being super excited about being able to hear the game sounds.

But after I got the pet and spammed him to hear his quotes, he would never say that line! So at some point I made a small spreadsheet to count the number of times each quote was said. We know how RNG is, but here are my results that may show the probability of each quote over 500 attempts:

83 Outlook is certain. Certain death!
69 Reply...hazy... Try again?
69 Let me confer with my sources... yes.
63 Let me confer with my sources... no.
63 Nooooo... yes, actually.
45 Outlook unclear, gather 4289 more apexis crystals and ask again.
39 You will likely survive. Most likely.
37 Not likely... in this timeline.
28 Defeat is assured.
4 Your sound card works perfectly.

And if I recall correctly, the only times he said the sound card quote was at the Violet Citadel, including twice today (out of 4 recorded results) when I was right next to Warmage Silva, which is the NPC you turn in the Kirin Tor emissary quest that can award this toy.

Комментарий от franchy

I'm not exactly sure when this change went into effect, but this pet can now fly with your flying mounts. Should've been like this from the beginning if you ask me.

Комментарий от Valspali

The Strange Humming Crystal finally popped for me, although I wasn't really aiming for it as I was just using the Kirin Tor paragon runs to gain Rep for Valarjar for their mount. 34 attempts so I guess I did grind a bit, but it hardly felt that way now that we are into Shadowlands and I only go into Broken Isles occasionally.

Комментарий от Eveliarix

This is still obtainable as of of 5/11/21. It ended up taking me around 50 turn ins for it to drop.

Комментарий от Facethievery1

I am not sure if the Kara song ever played in Live, but I got the sound card line but no song was played.

Комментарий от Fildrong

From before Dragonflight I am missing only 3 pets I can get in game : 400 pvp honor (oh hell no), 1 million gold celestial calf (working on it) and this one. I have been farming it on 5 alts every time I can try for it for almost 7 years now. Not counting tries but that feels like a lot. I swear when I get this ball I'll use it to shoot at walls.

Комментарий от Arrowstorm

For those of us still farming for this pet after all these years, at least Blizzard seems to have FINALLY fixed the "Like The Wind" quests where it would randomly undershoot your movement. One step at a time, I guess. Hopefully they'll also give us Kirin Tor reputation supply chests to up our chanced for this pet even more!

Комментарий от octnoir

To anyone still farming this...oh boy.

Backstory

Coming off from WoD's 'not enough content', 'no reason to log in' and 'lengthy content drought', Blizzard pulled a full 180 and thensome with Legion where they ~~forced~~ pressured you into doing content every day. If you wanted a chance at those super rare Legendaries that could make or break your spec, then you gotta do your Emissaries. Every day. I got more Legendaries from catching Squirrels in Val'sharah than off Mythic raid bosses.

Gung ho on 'all content every day', In 7.2 they added in the Paragon Reputations with Paragon Chests. Every 10,000 Reputation you'd grab a Тайник помраченных like chest which had a rare mount like Дикий сноходец.

Those mounts were sought after and very unpopular because Blizz made them 1% drops like Поводья Непобедимого except it was way more tedious to get 10,000 Rep for the faction vs one raid clear. Due to sooo many complaints, Blizz said they would revisit those mounts because getting 10k Rep and 1% drop was kinda nuts. So a couple of expacs later, they buffed the mount drop rate considerably and we had Legion Timewalking to give us quick and easy access to rep tokens like Знак Ткачей Снов which you can funnel to a main or with rep bonuses.

Unfortunately for us, Чудесная сфера мудрости missed the memo and continues to be a super rare pet averaging 100s of attempts. It isn't from reputation but from completing this Emissary's 3 WQs. One time you could actually sell off the pet but that got hotfixed so the only way to get it is by completing the Emissary on each character.

Tips

Now that we've established a bit of the BS behind this pet's drop (as of Dragonflight's late 2023 10.1.7 patch):

1. A lot of these WQs particularly Like the Wind are bugged. Don't bother playing 'fair'. Takes way too much time.

2. Like the Wind can be cheesed by mounting up beforehand and keeping on your mount. If the course disappears on you, give it a sec and keep on the path.

3. Similarly Magic of Flight can be cheesed by mounting up beforehand and flying to the clickable objective.

4. World Quest List addon can help with Barrels of Fun WQ by letting you mark the barrels with markers.

5. Enigmatic isn't too bad for a quick WQ but some locations have very faint squares so change your graphics settings for it to light up.

6. I generally look at when Kirin Tor is up, when Like the Wind and Magic of Flight is up, and takes about...10ish minutes with most of the time taken up by flying across the zones. I'm not mad enough to take up 15+ minutes by playing these WQs 'fairly'.

Good luck. I'm at 300+ attempts and at the tail end of this RNG Bell Curve. There are raid mounts I've gotten faster and in less time per clear than this.
