Darn, was hoping with arcane wyrms the mana wyrms would have been a natural sidekick. Oh well, thanks for checking!

Mushan, Yaks, Kunchong are untameable, the few I tried anyway.

I did find a cloud serpent with a diet though...

Which one? It might have the diet on live too.

Do you mind if I yoink your screenies and put these fellows in my thread, Wain? These count as newly tameable if anything does. :)

Of course I don't mind :) I just figured since it was a new model I'd introduce them in a separate thread, but your thread is still best for tracking.

Oh, certainly! They definitely deserved a whole thread. :D And thanks!

OK, so it's pretty safe to say that mana wyrms aren't tameable. I know this seems strange given that they and arcane wyrms seem to be closely related. But, oh well, at least this is a foot in the door for the group. Maybe they'll be joined as a separate family in the future :)

wain I'm going to go ahead and say that this probably wont be the best of the new discoveries made on PTR. because a blizzard developer said we wouldn't believe what we are going to be able to tame in 5.1 and we haven't even found the spirit beasts. Am i correct in saying this?

Since this is just the first build, they might be added in a later one.

I checked the 3 "cloud serpents" labeled as beasts and none of 'em have a diet. And I thought about posting about that Twitter thing.

Onyx Stormclaws from Shan'ze Dao island in Townlong. They do not have a diet on live but they do have one of just meat on PTR. I can post SS if needed, but it doesnt really prove anything, and I dont wanna derail this thread :)

Aww, bummer about the mana wyrms! Hopefully they'll make it in the future, especially if (when) the arcane wyrms go over well. :D

Eeee! I was so excited to see these become tameable; closest I'll ever get to taming a Cloud Serpent, and they're so beautiful. Then I realised my stable is full...

No dammit, nooooooo!

That aside, I find it really interesting that the models being made tameable are the ones we wouldn't expect at all. It's a really nice surprise, even if my stable is now constanly under review. :D The pale one would have made an excellent spirit beast I reckon.

Oh my fuggin' jizz!


Even as a bug-favoring tamer, these beasts are beautiful as all heavens! Especially the white ones.

Woo! "Arcane Wyrm"s (the ones in Dragonblight) are not only tameable, they changed to the blue colour. So that's a third colour (at least) of arcane wyrm. They used to be the same purple as the ones by the Nexus.
