      Loot Info

      The Captured Firefly item summons and dismisses Firefly, a firefly companion that follows you around, meaning it is a non-combat pet and will not aid you in battle.
      The drop rate of this pet is roughly 0.1% (one in every thousand kills) and takes an incredible amount of patience and determination in order to get one. Due to the difficulty of obtaining one, and thus their rarity, they can sell for fairly large amounts of gold on the Auction House, at least as far as pets are concerned.

      You can also use this profile for 62 to 65 leveling

      Believe me, I feel your pain.

      I've hunted this particular pet by hand on a number of occasions. Part of the problem is there aren't a whole lot of mobs that drop it. Don't even get me started on how pathetic Bliz's Random Number Generator is wrt/computer science.

      A lot of people misunderstand drop percentages, also. You have the same 1/1000 chance of getting the mob on your first drop as you do your subsequent ones. The way the math works, you can wind up doing much more than 1000 kills to get it. A really good explanation of statistic weirdness and how it relates to pet farming is available here.

      cheers,
      CJ

      This looks fun. Giving it a run right now. Started about 1.5 hours ago and no firefly yet but have dropped six greens and a blue item so far ;)

      Will update progress later. Thanks for the profile. It's working wonderful :)

      Funny how things work out sometimes. I've been sitting here watching the loot as this profile runs while I am reading the forums and doing some other things for 2.5 hours and no firefly. Then I get up to go get a refill on my drink and I'm gone for 5 minutes and come back and there it is....Captured Firelfy...just looted it as I was sitting back down LOL

      Yay :D
