A day of pack building

Unread post by O2Si »

After some inspiration I decided see if I could start my own wolf pack. As a fairly new Worgen hunter I wanted to get an assortment of 'family' for companions in my world. (Please don't see this as a debate about Worgens being wolfmen)

Since I had just hit 44 I thought I would start with the ghost wolf (The Lone Hunter) from the Eastern Plaguelands. He really is a beauty and became my companion for the days adventures. Next I placed my level 80+ toons around the globe to watch over spawn points.

Silver Dragon was a huge help as was my wife's periodic assistance on her level 85 hunter with two-seater rocket. :)

There were a couple of tense moments though. While trying to run to Silverpine to tame Gorefang I inadvertently ran through a Horde camp and was one-shotted. This was disturbing on a character that only has a total of five deaths. Fortunately I made it to Gorefang while he was still in one piece.

After spotting Lupos on my 85 Mage I relogged to my Hunter and started the run to Dark Shore. I arrived to find no sign of Lupos. I frantically ran the banks looking for him without success. Next I came across a dead wolf, though not Lupos. Fearing the worst I started following a trail of bodies checking each one to see if it was my lost friend. Soon I came upon a Warlock that was slaying each wolf they could find in order. Just then I spotted Lupos as the next target in the path. Racing ahead I jumped from my mount and started to tame, hoping the Warlock would show mercy. After what seemed like 10 minutes the tame completed and I had rescued my new partner, knowing full well the favor would be returned many times over.

My last catch of the day didn't seem like it would happen. When I found Barnabus he was level 46 and I had just made 45. I ran one dungeon and then leveled in the Badlands for a pretty long time. Upon reaching 46 I returned just in case my luck was holding. In short order I had tamed my last find of the day.

It may be that folks are just busy doing other things in Cata and nobody is looking for the rares. I can't be sure but I will say the day was a huge high for me with each successful find.

By the end of the day I had tamed the following:
The Lone Hunter
Snarler
Old Cliff Jumper
Lupos
Mist Howler
Gorefang
Timber
Barnabus

When it was all done I had really grown to love my companion through it all. My new daily pet? The Lone Hunter from this morning. While a guaranteed find he quickly work his way to my side.

Thanks for all the posts on here that helped me through one of my best days playing WoW.

Worg pup is a great idea. I should have been on top of that. I wish I could get a wolf mount.

When I get to the appropriate level I will definitely go after Deathmaw and Ironjaw.

Playing this hunter is really a kick.

Thanks all!
