The only Alliance alt I have is on a high pop realm, but I'm gonna go take a look anyways. :D

EDIT: No luck, and saw some campers, but I'll keep an eye out
Thank you! But, you must have sent some luck my way, because I ran into another hunter who was looking and we were able to help each other out :)

Now, to see about Ban'thalos!

Edit: Clearly, the RNG gods are with me tonight. Owl accomplished :D

Anyone have any hints to find Trigore the Lasher? I have spent over a week trying to tame and yet never see him.

It's easiest when there's a few other people who can check for you too, since your hunter can only check 2 shards (WM on and WM off). If you don't feel comfortable posting your battletag here, you can make sure you're logged into the petopia forum whenever you're in game, so that people can PM you. Or have a group listed, with an obvious name, like "LF Trigore, petopia", so other forum users can whisper you in game if they see it. I see Lupre-Shadow Council is alliance US, which most of my toons are too, so I'll keep a lookout.

for anyone who wants to help, it's not too far out of the way if you have a minute or so. The rare spawns inside the Wailing Caverns, just outside the instance entrance. You don't have to go into the caves to check, though. Starting from Boralus (or anywhere Manapoof is, if you do battle pet dungeons), take the port to wailing caverns, fly outside to 43.0 65.0. /tar Trigore should target the rare, if it's up, because it works for the deviate lurkers, which are right next to where it spawns. If you're in WM ON, you can fly to the inn in Honor's Stand to toggle it off. If you have multiple toons you're checking on, you can check to see if your characters are in the same shard as each other, and save time from checking. You can do this by having a macro:

Code: Select all

/stopmacro [noexists]
/run print(strmatch(UnitGUID("target"),"-(%d*)-%d*-%x*$"))
if you're targeting an npc, it will print out an id number for the shard you're in. Kind of. Multiple shards can have the same id number, and its a different number for different zones, even if you didn't actively change shards through groupfinder/WM toggling/etc. But it can save time when you're camping rares.

Some realms are better for rare spawns than others, or at least they have been. RP realms don't (or haven't or are less likely to) be clumped with non-RP realms, and Spanish language and Portuguese language realms aren't clumped with English language realms.

Thanks for the suggestion. Logged in today though and he was up. Makes me happy I FINALLY got one after months of trying.

Before the server merges i use to see him all the time because i was on a low pop server. I still see him occasionally but not as much. It also used to be easier when you could use trial characters on other servers to hunt with but since Blizzard hasnt figured out how to fix the glitch with them they are no longer useful in that regard. Its also doesnt help that once they expanded the stable slots there has been more hunting going on.

Desperate beyond desperate to tame Rei Lun, the heavenly azure cloud serpent. If anyone can help me, I'd be so, so grateful. I even begged our dear muffin to put this skin in somewhere else. I only need one tame, I don't want him twice.

Yea, ever since the server merge Loque hasnt been seen that much. But, back when i was on a busier server (before the merge) i generally found Loque in the morning hours of 2-4am Est. Its really just by luck though as he is generally hunted a lot.

I don't know where to put this, but the oracle daily "A Cleansing Song" is up (at least on EU) and i tamed "Spirit of Atha". Keeps its look and name!
According to wowhead this quest is pretty rare, so i'm happy it's up today 8-)

Has anyone had any luck lately in finding/taming the Corrupted Shalewing? It seems that, on my realm at least, the Researcher event with the corrupted beasts hasn't been happening for weeks. I'm wondering if it's just bad RNG or something. There also seem to be fewer and fewer people doing the event, so just getting to the phase where beasts could potentially appear becomes less likely.

Was wondering if you need to complete a quest chain to get Biryuk to spawn in Ohn'Ahran Plains. Wowhead and a youtube mention something about it but don't go into detail.

No, I assure you not. My hunter, without having completed a single mission on the plains, tames the dog Rare.

Although it sounds to me that if you have completed Baine's quest, the dog is moved outside the camp.

Edit: yes, according to wowhead, if you completed Baine's quest chain, the dog spawn moves to coordinates /way #2023 73.8 56.0

Today was a lucky day for me. Got him on two of my hunters and then I switched War Mode on and got it a second time for my Hunter I PvP on.

@Wain - Doesn't know where to put this so i hope you see it. Killclaw the Terrible doesn't keep its name anymore after taming on Exile's reach. Just started a new hunter on a RP Server and its just named as "Bear" :(
