Magria and Ankha caught my interest though. I wanted to see them both in game be it the PTR or live to get a good look at how they appear. Pictures can't do them justice no matter how high the graphic settings. They always look better standing in front of you. I've had no luck until last night. An ally had Ankha out as a pet. While a pretty cat, the colors appealed to me in no way. I thought she/he would be more vibrant. Magria I had yet to see until this morning. Truth be told, I prefer blue and Magria was the only one I could think of a name for, out of all 4 I had interest in taming.
Let me say, that my hunter spends far too much time standing around as a sandstone drake to hide the fact that she's buck naked. Not wanting to screw up anything should I suddenly face either cat, I just wait at the base of the mountain by the portal with my gear in my bags. Well, apparently in my case to get this creature to spawn I also had to have my gear put away. I found the parrallel amusing. I woke up early this morning so I logged into the game to camp between returning to bed to doze. I was over by Skarr and Karken out of curiousity primarily. I had an accident exploring last night and found I rezzed in that area. I didn't get to this area on the PTR so I was my first time seeing it all. Before I left for my shower this morning, I stepped into hyjal and did a look to see what was happening and took my usual place.
When I returned I took a glance at my screen expecting the usual nothing. My eyes probably bulged out a bit as I saw the npcscan and silver dragon alerts up for Magria. None of the new rares are in my silverdragon so it had to be set of by the actual spawn and not a pet. I refreshed my chat to see the npcscan time stamp. It said 06:02. The time was currently 06:10. I was hoping, but not expecting to still see anything after 8 minutes. Flying away, I did hit on a target and circled back fast to find her attacking bugs. So while wearing exactly what my hunter was wearing (if you equate a towel to a tabbard and shirt), I engaged this lovely cat and the tame went without a hitch. I had very little time after that to get ready and leave for work, so I named my lovely new pet and logged out. Later at work while I was thinking about it all, I laughed at the links I found between the events of finding and taming this pet and her name that I chose previously. She is called Merbleu, for her lovely crystal blue appearance. Little did I know when I thought of this name there would be a far greater link between the water, the trick to taming this pet and not getting killed, and myself. rofl!
Now the only addition I really want is Deth'tilac. The others I may acquire if I come upon them and no one else is there. I do so enjoy the challenges. Last night before I died and ended up in the Flame Pillar area, I popped by Deth's spawn area. There were 4 hunters standing around! I laughed and left a note to him that I'll be back in a few weeks after so many people are done harassing him. My love of purple and blue aren't worth that mess.
Plus, I've been paired up with the pet that I was meant to, and she will give my Loqi a well earned rest.To all those still waiting, may your new companions find you soon.
Congrats!!!
