What's the first pet you plan on taming when realms go live?

[Astratia]

Ashtail ^_~

[Somantrin]

Either Ashtail, or a color changing monkey.. I R Confused

[Keleri]

Gotta have Winna's Kitten, then the green demon dog. Chromaggus will probably have to wait until I have 2 or 3 friends on who I can make come with me. I'm also considering race changing my hunter to undead and filling my stable with "undead" pets.

I'll probably go out and tame a bunch of these new pets just so I can stand around in Orgrimmar with them before anyone else knows how, then switch back to my favorites.

[Siliverin]

this will be fun running around like a chicken with my head chopped off looking for ashtail but for sure gezz is first

[Novikova]

Skoll if he's there where I'm parked. Otherwise, Gezz then moving into Azeroth.

[Victorelle]

Ashtail! im already parked there amd ready!

[Cerah]

For Cerah, I'm not really sure. The one I want the most is Chromaggus, but that might have to wait a while -- I doubt anyone will be interested in vanilla content for a couple days at least. Same with AQ40 -- I'd like to upgrade Waspinator to Princess Hururan's skin, but that might also take a while. In the meantime, a Silithid-style green wasp will do. I'd like to pick up a black and red Scarab beetle as well, and a new style crocolisk. I was thinking of a Daggertail Lizard for Tiamat's return, but I might just wait for a Trench Stalker -- I'll go up and see the Daggertails and deside then.

For Leata, I might upgrade Mia to Duskstalker's new skin, depending upon whether I really like it more than her current regular snow leopard look. I want a white/light blue fox as well, once we have access to the ruins of Gilinas, and pick up a new spider model -- I'd like the purple one once she levels.

For Toeph, I want Katara to get an upgrade to the Agara-style skin now in the Barrens (since Agara herself is still MIA), and I'd like a red fox. I also want the Ancient Turtle -- I'll roll any guildies for it in a run through BFD!

What I'm looking forward to the most is making Lydea, my Undead Hunter. I can't wait to tame Bayne and the rare white bat in the Tirisfal Glades with her!

[Autumnshots]

I can't wait for the patch to go live tomorrow (EU) so I can tame some new pets! I had a mosey around on the PTR and simply HAVE to have a Seagull :p I just can't work out how to tame one yet, they are all flying so high up. I had hoped they would be floating on the water in a flock like they do, but I didn't see any I also have to tame fox, probably a red one. They look sooo cute

From what I remember in beta there are small flocks around, where exactly I can't say for sure but I know I saw a few places where there were some floating dead things and the Seagulls where sitting in the water next to the bodies. Just fly down to the Boat there and swim around.


Anywho, my first tames on Autumn will be:

~Gezz
~Angered Arakkoa Protector
~Rip-Blade Ravager
~Shard-Hide Boar

Then I will be dragging my husband away from his new belf warrior to help me run BWL/AQ40 and Sunwell for Chrom, Huhuran and a blue dragonhawk.

I'm gonna hold off on taming for my other 2 hunters, Rinel and Crayoneater, since their still babies and I can get most of their new tames as they level.

[Murloc Chow]

Hive Controller, I already went and got an Ice Heart Spawn, so first order of buisness is to see if he changed colour, also my Silithid Scorp (fingers crossed). On my other BM hunter I plan on camping the blue brainbug. And my male UD Hunter will get a Mulgore vulture as his first, and my female is going to do the run to Azuremyst to get a blue moth. Time can't pass fast enough.

P.S For those going to Kara, I'd love you forever if you'd post the details, I've never been to Kara myself.

[Skyshot]

Let's see.. I actually have a new pet list that I made up last night after testing out the ptr the last few days.
I unexpectedly fell in love with so many skins that I'm definitely going to get on live.
I'm going for Archie (black owl) and Serket (scorpid) first. This is my new, and final pet list. I'll probably fill up the reserved slots randomly.

It was intended to be an edited post in Veph's 25 Pets topic on the Cata portion of the forums but then I noticed they were archived.

[VelkynKarma]

I'm getting Jia back first. New pets be damned, I want my oldest traveling companion with me first

After that...who knows? I love a lot of the new pet additions, but none of them are OMFG MUST HAVE *RIGHT NOW* pets. I'll just play it by ear and tame on a whim

~VelkynKarma

[Kurasu]

#1 is definitely Angered Arakkoa Protector
#2 will be Chromaggus, as I have a cleared ID (and it'll hopefully stay!)
#3 will be Huhuran
#4 will be Blue Dragonhawk (while I have the raid)
After that, it'll depend on what I decide sounds like the most fun, I think.

[Agravaine]

For Gezzarak, stacking haste should help against snatchers, and lessen the risk of getting knocked back. When I tamed her in early WotLK, she seemed to do the knockback late into the tame -- with the original tame duration shortened by a haste potion and baked manta.

It'll also help if you have something to back up against, like a hut or tree.

Edit: oh, and I'm after a red fox, monstrous macaw, and that see-through puppy, though one of them is doomed to be a placeholder.

[Nemera]

Ashtail ftw things have been so serious in a world of upheaval the small bit of fun i think will be a smile much needed in these harsh times to come
additionaly my second hunter is in gatzgan after the ruby blasting sunburst adder who when i saw on the ptr was Omg soo shocking stand out

Must Must have blue dragonhawk have harbored that one since i started playing wow. A friend brought me one of the hatchlings when i was new and so little i couldnt even go through the portal yet
and yes Purple FTW im going to see how many people we can pull together from chromaggus i know there is more than one hunter after him so we may make a hunter raid on the guy wondering if we clear up to him and tame him rather than kill if he will respawn next day

[Mania]

(Does anyone know the best way to get up on the southern cliff of Thousand Needles? It's a zone for toons in their 40s, so there must be a non-flying way to get up there.)

There's a ramp about midway on the southern cliff that leads from the water up to a Twilight camp on the cliff.

[Siliverin]

can anyone tell me where ashtail spawn or point me in the way of a thread with the info xD

[Pent]

I heard that when the servers go live you'll be able to go most places, but if you step in Loch Modan you'll be instantly DCed because there will be 500 hunters on each server trying to snag some blue fox.


And yes... I am kidding about the DCing... not about the pack of hunters.

[Pent]

can anyone tell me where ashtail spawn or point me in the way of a thread with the info xD

I believe in the black box is a good start.

[Setanta]

I'm camped out in Sholozar so I'll probably stick with going after Loque first lol. Then see if I can get a few hunter friends together to go to BWL to work our way to Chromaggus.

[Cozzene]

I too logged out in Sholozar. I'm sure my King Krush woes are documented (with everyone else's, hopefully we'll all get lucky seeing as, hey, content patch! Who's gonna care about the basin??), and hopefully today I'll be done. I'm tired of being beast master*, tired of the basin, tired of not getting anything done on Cozz... After I either get him or what him get killed (or burst into tears that he wasn't up), I think I'll play wit my new turtle and new silithid swarmer ... THEN go get a mastiff, a fox, a demon dog, and a fel boar. Gotta be careful to leave an extra slot for Krush though if I don't find him.
