Random Pet Challenge [v3.0]

[TheFlemishHunter]

Of course it's not over! We just had a lul in sign-ups

Colour-Changing Worg

Well, I tamed one and did a few dungeons with it, but I wasn't really keen on this lil fella.
I had him for a day or two, I didn't like the look of him (the skoll version of his skin is epicer )

Erm...is that your report?

It's a random pet challenge, most of us give full reports even if it's a pet we don't like. If you read through some of them, you can get an idea of how the process works. If it's something you refuse to tame and do a report on, then it should be listed in your restrictions and Kormai can give a reroll.

as it would seem, I didn't fully understand this challenge ^^
I will tame a new one and do a proper report now

[TygerDarkstorm]

It's okay. I wasn't sure if you had read the rules and other reports or not.

You don't need to do anything as full blown as my reports get, but a little more than two sentences is generally nice. Whatever you're most comfortable with.

And if you need, you can refresh yourself with the rules on the front page.

Nothing like the smell of wildfires in the morning...

[TheFlemishHunter]

so, my challenge was


After my daily Blue Proto-Drake run(still no luck :/) I flew over to Storm Peaks to tame one of these wolves.
I decided to name him Todd, since his colours reminded me of Johnny Depp's Sweeney Todd hair ^^
And what better way to test this new pet than in a heroic, so I queued up and got Throne of the Tides
After a while I noticed my dps had dropped with about 1-2k, and I didn't know what I was doing wrong
I switched back to my usual pet, being Ghostcrawler(named Sweeney :3) and my dps was back up a notch.
I don't know if there's a difference between wolves and spirit beasts but that was a bit surprising
I like the skin he has and would like to use him but after that experience, I switched back to my Sweeney.

[Litlemouse]

You did spend his talent points, right? O_o probably but just checkin'.

Yeah, I originally had Ghostcrawler's talents spent as a 'tanking', survival pet, and Loque for my DPS pet, but the thing was, Ghostcrawler kept dieing, and Loque didn't do very good DPS, so I switched the talents around and suddenly Ghostcrawler was boosted into awesome DPS and Loque could survive a feral druid fight by himself (I'm not kidding, he did a 1 on 1 with a druid fighting him that didn't heal himself and won).

[TheFlemishHunter]

You did spend his talent points, right?

yep, I did
I used the exact same tree as I did on my Ghostcrawler and I was stunned too tbh

[Agner]

Overall, Kanassa is my second-favourite pet on my hunter—some days, favourite.

No fair to tease like that! You need to say what your favorite pet is.

Haha well, my favourite pet is Sporey, my blue sporebat ;P But it's a near thing, some days!

[Aeladrine]

Name: Donachan
Level: 73
Exotics: Sure.
Restrictions: Nothing I already have, obv. Other than that, nothing I can really think of! If it is a rare, however, could I also get a secondary option incase I don't have the time to hunt for it?

[Cialbi]

The rares from BC or later will be automatically excluded, and if you're rolled any (easier to get) unique rares, you'll be given a second option.

But, I can tell you now that there will be no guarantee that the pet you are rolled isn't already a member of your stables. Unfortunately, the random process used isn't very flexible when it comes to cherry-picking restrictions. It's set up to make more 'universal' restrictions such as level and exotics easy to handle, and even restricting entire pet families is easy. The exclusion of some rares are built-in as well. But, having to go through a spreadsheet and remove individual pets for each roll made is really time-consuming.

So, if you do get rolled a pet that you already have, then take it as an opportunity to tel us about your pet, and why you have said pet in your stables. In fact, since I highly doubt that your pets get equal attention, it will be a chance for you to spend some time working with a particular pet that may be going unused right now. Besides, the number of pets out there dwarfs the size of your hunter's stables, and you are free to try this as many times as you like (TygerDarkstorm probably holds the record on the number of pet challenges done, but no one's been keeping tally).

[Aeladrine]

Oops, I thought I'd edited my post to get rid of that. Sorry! Obviously I spaced and forgot.

I totally understand and am more than willing to give you guys entirely too much information on my pets if one of the ones I already have does come up.

Definitely still excited to do this! And thanks for the info! c:

[TygerDarkstorm]

I'm sad to say that that's probably true. XD

And after doing so many of the same pets over and over, I finally got burnt out. That's RNG for ya.

[TheFlemishHunter]

can I have another challenge?
Name: Goeieavond
Level: 85
Exotics: yes
Restrictions: no spirit beasts(i have em all ) and no wolves

[Kormai]

Yeah, Tyger I don't think anyone even comes close to how many you've done.

Donachan
Diseased White Bear


Goeieavond
Yellow & Green Core Hound

[Aeladrine]

Thanks, I'll get on it as soon as I can!

Might be a while before my report shows up. I have plan, but my computer isn't working now and I'm having to use my mom's, which will not work for my plan.

[Aeladrine]

Part one of my report. Part two will come... eventually.
Comic here, linked due to size.
Will figure out how to make the comic just show soon.


I'll admit, I'm not really looking forward to this. It's true that Dona's first pet was a bear and she has a diseased wolf who she loves, but white bears have never appealed to me and the diseased ones are no exception. Actually, except for Shiota, bears in general have never appealed to me. I'll have to make sure to take plenty of notes so the comic comes out alright. Should probably type these notes up.

Still thinking about this, though I haven't had a chance to work on it. Still not feeling too comfortable about taming a diseased bear, but maybe I'll change my mind about it once I have it standing beside me, protecting and defending. I hear bears make good tanks. Maybe this will draw me away from my ferocity pets. It's been a long time since I've used any other sort of pet. Gwyn and Eirwyn have been my primary companions for so long, I don't know how they'll feel about all this.

This does remind me, however, that I must release the pets who sit alone in the stable. It's unfair to them.


Sorry it's so huge, but I though doing it in this format might be cool!

[Kormai]

Cute comic, I can't wait for the rest of it

[TheFlemishHunter]

so my challenge was the yellow/green corehound
I looked forward to this challenge, since I like the core hounds, the drippyness and such
I tamed the quest mob from Badlands and took him for a testdrive(named him smelly)
He did great work in the following hc's, wasn't surprised of that fact. only problem with him is his skin, I preferred the redish skin but that looked to generic to me
So I went on the core hound section of Petopia and found out Chromaggus was tameable, so I went with him instead
And smelly, well, he's chilling in the stables

[Kormai]

I love my Chromaggus! It's like the ultimate insult for a boss...he became a hunters pet. And I made him a girl.

You didn't happen to take any screen shots did you?
