Re: Pet skins that are still untameable
Wow the list suddenly got a whole lot smaller, hehe.

Re: Pet skins that are still untameable
And to think these are the ones that I had listed because either they were in the database but not in the game or were only on colour-changers at some point. Any skins that were newly available skins from the start of beta aren't even included. That's an incredible number of skins.

Re: Pet skins that are still untameable
I split up the cat skins by individual model again so it's easier to see which skins are unavailable for which models. It's now very long, but suddenly I have more room to do that

Re: Pet skins that are still untameable
Might wanna link to the interchangeable skins I posted back here for when you are talking about missing saber skins and missing normal tiger skins, just so people can see the difference. =)

Re: Pet skins that are still untameable
Is that odd undead-looking Sporebat in WMV counted as an unused skin, or is it just a texture of some sort?
Re: Pet skins that are still untameable
Since it follows a different naming convention from the other sporebat skins (map_sporebat_diff vs. SporeBatYellow, SporeBatGreen and SporeBatBlue) safe to say it isn't a stand alone skin that we will ever see in game.

Re: Pet skins that are still untameable
I really, REALLY want to see them make the Hawkstrider models tameable. I love Tallstriders, Mazz really made me adore them and I've always loved the blood elf mounts, their vivid coloured feathers.

Link please? Or is it in the thread and I missed it? The model viewer, I can't make it work =(Vephriel wrote:Is that odd undead-looking Sporebat in WMV counted as an unused skin, or is it just a texture of some sort?

Re: Pet skins that are still untameable
I'll grab some images from my WMV, I'm not sure if/when a picture was posted of it:

It's the spirit beast sporebat we've been waiting for!
Or....y'know, NOT.

Re: Pet skins that are still untameable
It looks 'unfinished' to me. Is it possible that's what a sporebat looks like without the 'glowing'? It does look kinda neat, though! And poor sporebats do need more love. .... well, OK. Maybe 'love' would be an overstatement if one looked like that. 

Come see Kurasu's stables!
Re: Pet skins that are still untameable
So I noticed this one was still marked as an unavailable skin but it is quite tameable.
You need the quest A Different Approach http://cata.wowhead.com/quest=26954. After you use the druid to pull them down it is as easy as pressing the Tame Beast key.

Re: Pet skins that are still untameable
hope this isnt a glitch
if it isnt then nice find
lots of people have been wanting these


Re: Pet skins that are still untameable
Seriously? Egad! That's ... unexpected.
Is this quest available to Horde and Alliance? (The Wowhead page doesn't say right now.)
Can you have someone else with the quest use their druid and then you tame the bird? (And I use bird advisedly.)

Um... so is the druid a quest helper NPC?
Also, if this was unintended... people might want to jump on this ASAP.

Re: Pet skins that are still untameable
Confirmed!
YES, it works on PTR, just did it for Slickrock, so it's good for Alliance too.
And yes, this will be the FIRST thing I do when the sunder hits, no idea how long this will last.
Oh, and dear Lurker... please leave this in game, at least for a while..

You have to use the NPC to aggro the hawks, then you can tame. Nice thing is the NPC is inept, so he doesn't damage them much if at all.Pent wrote:Um... so is the druid a quest helper NPC?
