Helped rehome Deth just now. He was up, I was trying to help rehome him using my DK, but my DK is alliance and they thought I was a ganker and let him reset. I logged over to my horde hunter and went to help. After telling them my ally was NOT a ganker, they inv'd me to group and my hunter helped by saccing her pet over and over and Deth got a new home.

Edited to say I also rehomed Ankha. Saw her up AGAIN. Everyone in my channel has her, so I general chat'd it and got a bite in a few seconds. I told them how to tame and they tamed her. Rehoming fun.

Edit 2: Rehomed Ban'thalos to a hunter that ALREADY HAD HIM because no one else wanted him or even tried. She just /sighed and said she'd get him instead of seeing a nearby DK kill him. So I dunno if that counts. She had him, but tamed him again. Then again, I had Kirix and tamed him twice. I guess if no one wants a pet, thats okay. :?

Someone post something! I dun want to keep posting MY rehoming stories.

Anyway, rehomed Anthriss when I saw her alive for the first time since I'd tamed her a couple weeks ago. Had to beg a DK to leave off and tell her she drops nothing. The orc guy tamed her with no trouble.

Then rehomed Solix to a goblin via rooting with my druid. He was able to tame right off with Solix just rooted in place. Totally negated all the challenge, though.

haha, im on it!

gave a home to Karkin. Asked in gchat, no one was interested. asked in general, and a hunter says "me" invited him, while he was getting there, he fell :lol: . came back to life, ate, and i said that he just tames, ill interrupt the barrage :] happy crab and happy hunter! he was going to give me 200g but i refused to take it ;)

and then like 40mins later... helped a hunter to get Deth'tilac!
while i was doing my dailys with my rogue, i was like *uhmm, i bet that Deth is up* and BAM! spotted him, none around, logged out and logged with my hunter. Asked in general, no one wanted him, and i remember "ohh, i have some hunters as my friends" i whispered one if he wanted Deth, said yes and came to me. kinda weird tame. when he was about to tame, Deth casts Deth Strike, and he dies. BUT, wait! hes becoming small! :o :shock: woo! tamed him!!

He was so happy that he named his pet after me :3

all i could say was: cool name ;b

I have just re-homed King Krush to my husbands hunter. He has been looking for him since he was released. I happen to be flying over the area heading to ICC and there he was right under me...couldnt believe it, my first time seeing him "in the wild" I started yelling at him in vent to log to his hunter and come tame him. So very happy I was there now BigMeanGreen has a happy and pround owner. (the name was my joke idea last year and he remembered and named him...thought the spelling is BigMeanGrn due to not enough room for spelling)

Anj and I helped a hordie get Solix. She really wanted him. Since I was camping Skarr, I just whispered her the instructions. Anj was down there doing frost traps and concussions to help with the kiting. Took a few tries but sure enough!

I know this isn't a rehoming, but I saved Skitterflame from a druid, and the druid rooted Skitter and I tamed (Yeah, I know it wasnt the challenge, but horde were coming, and after I told him it only dropped a 25g crystal, he didnt want Skitter to be murdered)

Rehomed Skoll today. Tried to help rehome Banny and Magria, but got there too late.

Oh well, someone in my channel got them thanks to the channel, so it worked out and I SORT OF helped.

I had the hunter who got Skoll say "OMG I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!" so I feel complete. <3

Rehomed Tsu'kalu and Pogeyan to our very own starkittens! She'll vouch for me! Also, I rehomed a Deth'tilac to someone who had never ever tamed a rare before. She was so happy.

To someone who's never tamed a rare? That must've been a weird but cool experience. I rehomed Tsu'kalu to a friend in the area, and got Pogey a little while after.
And I saved Skitterflame XD

Old, but in the interest of diversifying the number of people posting in this thread ( ;) :hug: ):

1. Getting MY ghostbattlecrab wrecked me for a day and a half of on-and-off "oh I'll just do one more loop around this stupid dead reef GAAAH GO AWAY OTHER HUNTERS, SHOO", with bonus feverish hallucinations when I tried to sleep. So, of course, one day when I did a pass out there on my druid to find herbs, what do I look down to see but a ghostly blue crab and no hunters in the zone? And nobody on in my guild-- wait, no, one person on! And she's a hunter! And she collects spirit beasts! Luckily the zone really was dead as a doornail, so that went off without a hitch.

2. Some weeks later, 2/3 through our raid night, my guildies and I were leaving the Bastion of Twilight to go punch Baradin Hold in the face. Most of them hearthed or were doing teleports, but I elected to fly across the zone, possibly because I'd been wasting my hearthstone and teleports swapping pets around, COUGH. Anyways, I hit a decent altitude and start flying straight across the empty boring green part of the zone. On a whim-- having no NPCscan installed, or knowledge of exactly WHERE these dang spawn-- I go "wouldn't it be funny if Karoma or Sambas was up?" and mouse over my minimap with tracking up. I don't bother reading all the names, there's too many dots too clustered, but wait, one of those names was... short. I stop. I look down. The hunter I had rehomed Ghostcrawler to had just gotten on vent for the BH. "Do you have Karoma yet?" "The blue ghost wolf? No." "GET OVER HERE GET OVER HERE GET OVER HERE AHHH WHY'S MY GROUP SUMMON DOWN" etc as I fly down and fumble my pets around and trap Karoma and just in general PANIC, because prime-time Twilight Highlands oh no some schlub is going to fly over any minute now ahhhhhh hurry up hurry up get here now now now-- during my panicking one of my raidmates lands, pops his group summon, and my guildie gets the tame no problem. Because the ease of a tame is inversely proportional to how much I flip out before/during it, clearly. :lol:

3. Oh, but those both involve a dedicated pokemaster spirit-beast hunter. And that guildmate definitely wasn't online when NPCscan grabbed my computer by the lapels and screamed in its face "AOTONA SIGHTED!!!!!!!" Rare purple parrot!! ...I already have a rare purple parrot. Well, I could kill it for (potential, eventual) nerdpoints, but it's so pretty and... and oh wait, my friend on Vent with me has a hunter alt. "Do you have a bird of prey yet?" "No." "Get over here and tame this one." "...okay?" "It's a RARE UNIQUE." "Okay."

Some hopping in circles getting my face eaten by an angry bird later-- level 77ish shammy alt is not for tank elites-- my friend has a bird that I am convinced he doesn't appreciate. But hey! If I cannot force my friends to love strange pets like I do, I will at least train them to show some respect.

4. (Cheating, but shhh!) Speaking of, I was embroiled in yet another earth-shatteringly important battle for the invaluable resources of Ashenvale, also a sparkling flag, when one of my friends pokes me in a whisper. "There's this big green scorpid shuffling in circles down here in Uldum. It's called Madexx. ...Should I not kill it?" In between my valiant battle to somehow better the Horde's wealth by sneaking a scrap of shining burlap from one side of a field to the other, I assured my friend that no, a sucky 25g vendor-trash gray isn't worth it, it's totally tameable, but I don't want it. However, I know <mutual friend> has mentioned her abysmal luck with rarespawns, try asking her if she'd want it? I finished my skirmish (alas, the outcome of this particular bout lost like so many of my other heroic deeds to the mists of time) and checked back in. Yup, my friend who had despaired of ever getting a rarespawn shinier than Karoma-of-the-rather-tacky-looking,-low-quality-Vanilla-model/texture had successfully netted herself a spiffy green Madexx. I can't take full credit, and I won't pretend to try, but I'm glad that my nerding among my friends over hunter pets has helped educate them enough that they don't reflexively go "oh look a rarespawn let's see what it drops *SMISH*".

around 11am, helped the same hunter witch i helped to tame Deth'tilac :D this time, i helped him to get Skarr (a little) and Kirix :]
he didnt know how to tame Kirix, but he tamed him the first time he tried ^^ i helped him to get to the Skarr's rock, and Ancient Hysteria (:

Like 10mins later, Spotted Solix. asked in general and guild channel, no one wanted him, but a shaman says "<--- A Shaman is interested" damn, i was like *omg please, no!* He comes here...
Shaman: hey Whatsername, lets kill Solix
Me: no
Shaman: why?
Me: cause he drops no loot
Shaman: lets kill it anyways
Me: no!!
Shaman: ok

Took a while to get a home for Solix, but when i said "Cmon, Solix needs a home, any hunter wants to tame the freaking sipder?", a hunter says "me" and i invite him, i kited Solix for him, and let him tame :)

I love to get rares a home! :D

Last night was a great night for rehoming! I finally managed to tame Deth on my worgen huntress after I managed to kill us both last time! I relogged to the orc to do the dailies, and saw Kirix was up. I asked in general and found a troll that decided to give it a go. We hopped to the rock, and he tamed it without a problem.

Image

Just then, Solix spawned, so I convinced him to try getting her, being a pretty unique spider. We tried and tried, but the kiting just didn't work, and he gave up. I couldn't find anyone on horde side, so I relogged to my worgen Kassiopeia, and sat in front of Solix whispering people. A horde hunter turned up, and I motionned him to go, and he motionned no back, and took out what I thought was Solix. So I /nodded, and we both sat there, so I decided to relog back to my orc who was still at the same spot. "I was there first" the other guy said when I logged on, but he explained he had Anthriss, not Solix as I thought, and was on ressurection sickness. It finally expired, and we started kiting Solix. But this guy didn't believe in aspect of the cheetah, so he got munched first time, second time, Solix was on 6! energy so I feigned death after he died to reset her, last try, it worked and he wandered off with a pretty orange spider!

I exited the Front, and lo, Magria was walking along! And a nightelf huntress was floating there, with no clothes on, and afk! Emoting didn't do anything, so I decided to say in general that Magria was looking for a home. Noone replied, I logged back to Kassiopeia, whispered the still afk nightelf, no reply. I checked the friend list, and a hunter I met the other day was online, she was happy to come and tame Magria. She died twice until we realized she was wearing rp outfit with armour, and she walked away with a new blue kitty.

Image

I decided to finish the dailies on the orc, and what do I see, both Karkin and Skitterflame spawned! I stood there for ages, whispered, /who hunter searched, but at that time of night, nothing was online. Eventually another troll hunter replied, but they seemed like they didn't have any experience. it took 20 minutes, to escort them to Karkin's spot, and I explained what to do:

21:08 [PL] [Riyusei]: do you have silencing shot?
21:09 [P] [F*]: one sec
21:09 [P] [F*]: wats it look like sorry
21:09 [PL] [Riyusei]: hmm it's in the marksman tab
21:09 [PL] [Riyusei]: second page, second arrow
21:10 [P] [F*]: got it
21:10 [PL] [Riyusei]: you need that one, and tame beast
21:10 [PL] [Riyusei]: what you do is start taming
21:10 [PL] [Riyusei]: he does a big cast, something barrage
21:10 [P] [F*]: do i need to dismiss pet?
21:10 [PL] [Riyusei]: halfway through it, you silence him
21:10 [PL] [Riyusei]: yes
21:10 [PL] [Riyusei]: then you start taming again
21:11 [P] [F*]: i cud put my pet in stable
21:11 [P] [F*]: o have 5 active ones
21:11 [P] [F*]: i have
21:11 [PL] [Riyusei]: sure
21:11 [P] [F*]: brb
21:11 [P] [F*]: gonna hearth
21:11 [PL] [Riyusei]: I can't summon back
21:12 [P] [F*]: sorry

Image

After another 15 minutes, he was back. And after many tries, Karkin was his, and he was very happy. We proceeded to tame Skitterflame with no further problems (scare beast and tame away), and I thought, pfew, finally time to head off to bed. I finished the last dailies, and saw Anthriss up! I didn't have her on Kassi, so I logged back over, grabbed the yellow spider, realized I still had to hand quests in, logged back to the orc, did so, and went out through the portal.

Image

Ban'thalos was up! Prettily flying circles, and noone around! I saw occasional hunters, and motioned them to the perch in the tree, but they didn't seem interested. I had to go to Orgrimmar, so I announced it in general, and a hunter replied and was very excited to come and tame him. I flew back to the tree, and summoned them, but, they were phased! So the hunter flew all over Hyjal to do the missing quests, and as I thought they were about done (I really wanted to go to bed), they decided to do the jousting quests. I replied that there's no need, but the hunter was convinced it was the missing questline. In the meantime, a male nightelf hunter showed up, sees me and proceeds to try and kill Ban'thalos, failing a few times and giving up. Some people.... I waited a bit longer and went off to bed. I hope the hunter got to unphase the area and catch Banny eventually, but I really didn't want to stay up.

Image

Next time, I'll take screenshots of the hunters with their new pets!

Tried to help rehome Karkin this morning via my mage and use of counterspell and magelust. The hunter who wanted him kept dying and eventually gave up and another hunter (also friendly, who I also helped with counterspell with the first hunter's blessing) got him. A douchebag hunter at first swooped in and tried to steal Karkin when we 3 had been there for a long time and had DIED for that damn crab! I told her, in no uncertain terms, I would interrupt her tame or kill it before she tamed it every time, so she better let the PEOPLE WHO WERE CAMPING HIM get him instead of just swooping in and stealing him from us and taking advantage of my counterspell, which she tried to do. I cast a few frostbolts at him, causing him to aggro me and reset and she died to fieroclast. I'm sorry, but I hate thieves. I really would have killed Karkin before I let that thief get her. We had been camping Karkin a long time, especially one hunter (who bowed out when she failed a few times, and kindly let the other nice hunter get him). Starkittens threatened to report me. Uh uh! The GMs don't care! =P

And go ahead and call me a d*ck, but there was no way that thief was getting Karkin over my channel friends who had been camping him for hours. Its just not right.

Anyway, in the end, thanks to ONE mage counterspell from me, the hunter got his Karkin. He was happy and the other one just said she would get him next time. She wasn't butthurt, thankfully, and realized the other guy was nice.

Rehomed Deth'tilac after begging in my channel for awhile and no one wanted him. He sat up for at least an hour before we finally found someone to get him. My channel mates were helping by asking hunter friends. Now Deth has a home! The most unwanted spider on my server!

Seriously, it was a fight fest for Kirix earlier. At least 6 hunters were wanting him, and we can't beg people to tame Deth, which is STRANGE AS SHIT cuz he isn't hard and he's RIGHT THERE!

Was in the channel when Magria and Ban'thalos were rehomed. So my channel helped rehome! They wouldn't have known about the mobs being up if it weren't for the channel and all the folks looking for rares.

I sorta rehomed Kirix haha. I was at a relitive's house today and watched while they were doing their molten front dailies on Fireplume Ridge. Kirix then popped behind her. She only has one rare pet and that would be Rak'shiri. I asked her if she wanted to tame him, she had been there when I tamed my own Kirix, and she said she did. So I sat down at the computer and got her to the taming rock (her gear isn't very good so I didn't want to try the disengage method), and tried to find my way around her action bars. After digging through her spellbook for deterence and pulling Kirix with Tame Beast in the process >.<, the spellbook got in the way of his casting of Magmatoxin but I managed to hit deterence in time. Cast tame beast again and got him! Died after to Magmatoxin ticks though :P She was very appreciative :)
