[Guide] Taming the Blue-Mist Carrion Ghost!

Unread post by Griffley »

Most of us have noticed that the Carrion bird called "Angered Arakkoa Protector" became tameble recently.
It is a Ghostly, Teal, Twoheaded, Carrion bird, with nice ghostly transperent looks and Blue mist and everything.
However. after taming it loses its blue mist, and becomes only slightly transperent (and loses 80% of its awesomeness)

But, inspired by the whole Oil-stained wolf Drama, I tried to find a way to make the same happen here; An awesome extra visual that you are not supposed to get. With Succes! And I was not uniquely lucky, the same procedure worked on my friend as well.
As a thanks to those people who found out about the oil-stained wolf, I will not keep this to myself.
So here is my Guide to this Blue-Mist Carrion Ghost.

I went to tame it over here (there are more possible locations):
Image

There you will find this special circle, this procedure is the same as with the normal Angered Arakkoa Protector, you have to make a "Wing Guard" nearby Flee, he will run to this circle to spawn the Bird:
Image

If you tame, as you normally would at that point, it will loose its blue mist/awesomeness and come out like this:
(You barely see its a Ghost or anything special. apart from that its Teal. which is nice.)
Image

BUT, I noticed that after about 60 seconds, the Pet vanishes.
So I tried the exact same thing as with the oil wolf.
Random fact: This is not a buff or a debuff, like the oil of the wolf, making it different, so I was not sure wether this would work in any way.
It worked out perfectly though! When i started taming at 49,5 seconds after it spawned, I got the pet wíth its blue mist maintained.

(You should use the in-game stopwatch you can use at your clock.)
Try taming from 49,5 seconds after it spawned first:
*If you get the pet without its mist, you were to soon.
*If you get a fail message/sound instead, you were to late.
*If you succeed, it will not appear in your pet tray, and you will nót get a fail message for your tame, you will have to relog for your pet.
*It will nót take long, but you must not expect this to work the very first time, make timing adjustments after each fail and you are bound to have it in no-time!

here is a screenshot of me and my friend "Royalehuro" with our Blue-mist Carrion birds.
I am very delighted with my own, don't know who to name it after yet though ^.^

Happy Hunting everyone!

I just noticed, Using bestial wrath, the mist stays Blue, and the pet turns red, making a nice contrast. here is a screenshot:

Incredible find! Any word if it loses it's aura like the wolf can? I know arenas can't be tested. I'm probably going to head out there tonight to get one myself, so if I find anything I'll post it.

My guess would be no, considering that it isn't a buff or debuff. But, I could easily be wrong.

Ok, so timed it perfect just as tame finished bird vanished. Logged out, logged back in and nothing in my tray... am I missing something?

Just got mine, took a few of tries.

There is a good test to see if you did it right. Try taming another pet after the tame of the ghost carrion. It will say you already have a pet if you did it right (the first time I did it it said my pet was dead. That means it failed). If done right, it will not show up under your call pet. Log on and on the login screen you should see that bird flying next to your character (it won't have the aura). Log back in, call your new bird and it should be all set.

Then I don't have it. Weird, since I didn't get a tame fail message nor did the pet burst out with gold light oO;

edit: Just tamed one ^.^
Thanks for the guide!

i just tamed one. i serpent sting the mob. let him tick down and summon this bird. freeze trap the bird, started at 9 sec left on the trap. tried a few times to get the timing right. think i got it at 13 secs. on my last attempt i got the warning, you cannot tame anymore pets. my call pet 1 ability still showed empty, but couldnt do the tame, so i clicked on the call pet and my new ghostly bird showed up.

Excellent guide! Worked like a charm. Took me about 5 fail-tames and a few more too-late (and a couple that were killed by an "overly helpful" gnome). But I now have my Mystique.

Should definitely sticky this.
