Status of Quilen on the beta

Wain · **Posted:** Thu Aug 02, 2012 11:13 am

My latest survey of tameables is quilen. These guys are a bit messier to sort out because many are inside instances, and many others are either in phased areas (some later become inaccessible) or simply require someone with a quest to activate (which involved a lot of sitting around). Thanks to Kalli, Doomcookie and Veph for their input on these. And especially to 'cookie for her awesome list.

I only list the beast under a colour once I've confirmed it's still that colour in the current build. I then only mark them as tameable if confirmed in the current build.

TLDR: plain cobalt hasn't been found yet. Jade may be unavailable (not sure if Beast of Jade will be made untameable).

Firstly, what I haven't even seen yet, that I know about (probably many more that I don't know about):

Granite Quilen (id. 65816, there are two others), not sure if this one is used at all
Stonebound Watcher (id. 63600) - a different ID of this mob. 63605 is tameable, but I'm not even sure where this one is located - maybe it's the ID of the inactive ones?
Stone Quilen (Mogu'shan Vaults)
Enormous Stone Quilen (Mogu'shan Vaults)
Frenzied Stone Quilen (maybe also Mogu'shan Vaults???)
Jade Quilen, (only one off the id. of the one in Mogu'shan Palace, so maybe also there??)
Quilen Statuette, (apparently summoned by Quilen Statuette archaeology artifact)
Reanimated Quilen (VEB, maybe phased or quest related)
Spectral Guardian (summoned during a quest in DW, I think. Transparent, possibly undead)

And now for what I've at least confirmed colours for:

Organic:

Quilin_Brown

Bronze Quilen, Townlong Steppes, TAMEABLE
Mu'Shiba, Mogu'shan Palace, NOT TAMEABLE, GIVES ALREADY CONTROLLED ERROR

Quilin_Gray

Yao, Kun-Lai Summit (requires someone with quest to summon), TAMEABLE
Terracotta Guardian, Kun-Lai Summit, TAMEABLE BUT CAN BE BUGGY: if you tame it while it's a statue it's fine, but if you tame it while it's flesh, it permanently becomes a useless statue!
Gasaran, Vale of Eternal Blossoms (activated in once-off quest "Battle Spear of the Thunder King" which you get at Revered with The Golden Lotus), TAMEABLE

Quilin_White

Dagou, Vale of Eternal Blossoms (in Guo-Lai Halls area, initiate combat with Zhao-Jin to activate), TAMEABLE BUT PHASED OUT AND INACCESSIBLE AFTER INITIAL VEB QUEST CHAIN

Quilin_StoneGray

Thanks for the spiffy list again Wain! Here's hoping an unadorned cobalt will make it in at some point, I personally like it better than the Portent version. Though I'll probably get the cobalt portent until the unadorned becomes available.

Beautiful work

Would it be possible to add in the levels for each?

Thank you

I think Doomcookie has most (or all) of the level info on her main list

This list was more to determine what is and isn't currently available. A lot of things may have changed colour or tameability since they were added to the main list and I wanted to be sure we didn't miss out on any colours when MoP is released, if possible (and if Noah has time!

)

GormanGhaste · **Posted:** Thu Aug 02, 2012 1:17 pm

Thanks for pointing out that the organic brown eventually phases out. Not that I can even get the relevant VEB quest chain, as I haven't been able to complete the KLS temple quest, from other people tagging my quest mobs.

Quilen Guardian, Mogu'shan Palace, TAMEABLE

Just to repeat my earlier findings here, this guy is ridiculously hard to tame due to regular aggro drops. He'll need to be HoJed or otherwise stunned while you tame, much like old school King Krush style.

Definitely not the easiest red organic quilen to tame!

Wain · **Posted:** Thu Aug 02, 2012 8:59 pm

Of note, I think the Stone Guardians in KLS (which are activated during an ambush quest there) can cause problems with the quest if tamed. I'd already done the quest so I had to wait for someone to come by and activate them. I tamed one of the four and the player killed the other three. However the boss never became attackable. I think my taming of one of the beasts meant it never registered that they were all defeated. The summoning player was opposite faction so I couldn't ask. I just had to apologize and shrug.

So I'd be interested if someone could please confirm this.

Along similar lines, if a player tames the Beast of Jade boss (random boss in phase 2) in the Greenstone Village scenario, I wonder if it halts the scenario? I wonder if a trio of Petopians might be able to please test this?

My hunter is in Petopia Horde and we're unfortunately a much smaller group so it'll be harder to get a group together to test it. But I'll try to tonight if nobody has first.

Thanks

Terracotta Guardian, Kun-Lai Summit, TAMEABLE BUT BUGGED: BECOMES A USELESS STATUE!

That's weird, I tamed one before the last patch and he worked perfectly fine. Went there again and tamed another one, still works fine. Maybe there's more than one with different IDs? The one I have is ID 59773. But just in case, I have one question: did you dimiss it right after taming it? I got into the habit of doing that to prevent bugs that can surface at times with tameable beasts that have mechanics while in the wild, which makes the game think your new pet is still the wild npc. Dismiss Pet kinda works as a reset in those rare cases. I haven't quested at all in Kun-Lai though, and when I go there I see some sort of energy bolts coming from above that turns the Terracotta Guardian and those Mogus there into statues and vice versa if I'm not mistaken, so maybe one hit your pet?

Odd! I'll check that out. I tried taming many of them, and no matter how fast I was with the tame (after they animated), they always became statues again as soon as the tame completed. I tried dismissing lots of times, logging out. Even managed to get one killed. Nothing stopped it from just standing there as a statue. The pet control bar always remained greyed out.

I wonder what was different... :/

Thanks for letting me know, anyway!

I... tamed mine when it was a statue... you might be on to something! :shock:

That's exactly what happened when I did some testing. ^_^ The only way the quilen stayed a normal quilen post-tame was if it turned into a statue during the tame.

I apologize if I'm late to the party and this is old news, but are the Quilen using the worg skeleton again?

Kalliope · **Posted:** Mon Aug 06, 2012 2:57 am

They're using the winged guardian skeleton, which has been modified to have extra animations, such as death.

They're actually now using a mixture of the Alliance gryphon (or winged guardian) skeleton and the cat attack animations.

Astratia · **Posted:** Tue Aug 07, 2012 10:43 am

I love their walk 'strut' animation.

I also really hope the colbalt one becomes a mob somewhere for the hunters that really want one. -crosses fingers-

copying Danielfboone's post from the screenshot thread:

I didn't take a shot but I should have after what happened yesterday. I was hunting Bloodtooth but needed a Stable slot so I abandoned my organic red Quilen KungPao knowing I could easily get him back. After finding and taming Bloodtooth, I then abandoned Aotona to open up another slot and went back to where the red Quilens are and called Terracotta Guardians. I waited until one animated and started taming it. Right as the tame completed, it turned back to stone and I was left with a pet that wouldn't move or do anything. I let him get killed by one of the Terracotta Warriors thinking that he would revert form when revived but nope, he was still a statue. I abandoned him and started taming another that was in the stone form. The tame completed while it was still stone but he ran to my side in his living Red form. I really think I prefer the red organic to any of the stone Quilens, even Portent

Kalliope · **Posted:** Wed Aug 08, 2012 2:19 pm

*scrolls up* Yup, we discovered that already.

Sesamee · **Posted:** Thu Aug 09, 2012 7:52 pm

Gah!! I thought I was all set on Guzou's final form being the grey stone....then comes Portent. I'm loving all the colors but green esp the cobalt and amethyst. Although I'm sure my bf will go for the green one when he gets around to lvl'ing his hunter in MoP. Sigh! More decisions!

Wain · **Posted:** Fri Aug 10, 2012 6:57 am

As per other reports, Stone Guardian now grey stone instead of brown (at least it now matches its name!). Bronze quilen now brown instead of red.

Thanks for the update, off to Townlong Steppes!
