'Fixed' colour changers : worm, warp stalker, raptor, rhino

Unread post by Wain »

This post was originally going to just be about blue worms. But I decided to delay it till I checked a few other critical colour-changing mobs and was glad I did.

For some of the most important colour-changers (i.e. the ones that include a skin that isn't available anywhere else and hence you can't get a stable version of that skin), I suggested that if they didn't have time to create a new npc id for every colour, perhaps they could change the npc to use just the critical colour. It looks like some of these are now doing this. This means four more skins are now available on colour-stable mobs:

- Deep Borer worms (Maraudon) seem to be exclusively blue (WormSkinBlue) now, and are stable in that colour when tamed. I ran everywhere and didn't see a single grey one. Grey is available in other places already. This is a really pretty skin.

- Chasm Stalkers (Vashj'ir) seem to now be exclusively blue (WarpStalkerSkinBlue). I couldn't see any left of the other colours, and the taming seemed to be stable with repeated summons. This is awesome. The previous colours for this mob (white & green) are available on stable mobs elsewhere. With this change, every last warp stalker skin in the game is now available on a stable mob! Also, since the other skins were indigenous to Outland, we can pretend that this blue one is an exclusive Azerothian one and not some skin that was recycled from BC ;)

- Shardhorn Rhinos (Sholazar) are now exclusively WoolyRhino_Blue (blue fur, grey face). Same situation and checks as above. I didn't check if the ones inside Gundrak are also tameable though.

- Drakuru Raptors seem to be now exclusively Raptor_OutlandBlue, which is a striking bright purple. The other colour they had was a drab grey one that was also available in Outland.


Checked & Still Colour-Changers:

Important (has unique skins):
- Pyreshell Scuttler crabs. Every last one of their biolucent skins was unique to that mob, so they probably couldn't do much about that without making a separate npc id for each.
- Vale Howler monkeys (Northern Stranglethorn). At least all colours are stable on the pick wielding monkeys, but if you want one without a pick then 3 of the 4 skins are bound up in this colour-changer

Not important (all skins available elsewhere):
- Sentry Worg (Icecrown)
- Cavedweller Worg (Storm Peaks)

Haven't checked, but not important anyway:
- Temple Scarab (Uldum)
- Dredge Worm (BRD) - brown skin isn't unique, but only other locale is Ragefire Chasm in Orgrimmar
- Marsh Crocolisk (Silverpine)
- Gundrak Raptor (Zul'Drak)
- Savage Worg (Utgarde Keep)
- Borer Beetle (BRD)

How-about the Rip-Blade Ravager from Blades' Edge Mountains, Wain? It has three colors currently, two of which are only available on that mob - the orange/purple and pink/purple.

EDIT: Never mind...found what I was looking for. Have to retame and relevel a ravager, it looks like.

You would not believe, how many times either, I thought of making a stables consisting of RP pokemon. I had it planned out, too! See, Lillith would be a black worg, and then eventually a flamey hound. Iron could be a black devilsaur, Chomp would be one of the new crocs, and Ghost would probably be a black fox or a black coyote. Speck I could probably work as Gondria, too. Both are ghostly, and I prefer Gondria/Ghost Saber over the other ghostly pets. Delora would...er...Be likely a reddish worg? Maybe a red lynx?

Always get stuck at Sol though.

What'd you learn? That's my favorite ravager BECAUSE it changes colors, I'd hate it if Inachus' mood-ring awesomeness suddenly stopped :(

I like that it sounds like the color changers have their own id, so if you want to keep yours, you don't have to get stuck with a static one. :)

Lol, are all of your pets going to be black or purple? Would you explode in happiness if there was a dark purple trex with black stripes?

Oh god, I don't think I have enough smelling salts to revive her from that one. :lol: Although I can't imagine Skorn going anywhere either. ;)

*snicker* Purple and Black are my two favourite colours. ^^ I think a lot of my pets are reflecting that, lol! As AMAZING as a purple/black Devilsaur would be, Kalli's right...Skorn's not going anywhere, and I can't have any other Devilsaurs besides him. :3
