The wolves... they fear me!! (Welcome home Karoma!)

[Helsinki]

So as some of you have read, I've had amazing luck with rares on this hunter. My original plan was to have a stable full of common pets with a few select rares, but I have pretty much zero willpower, and truth be told there aren't a whole lot of common skins that I like as much as the rares.

The only rares I've chased after who have eluded me for days on end (or longer) were the wolves - Skoll and Karoma. I've been checking for Skoll every day since level 80, multiple times a day, at weird hours - early morning, mid-afternoon, the wee hours of the night... and no luck. He doesn't want to come home with a freakish half-wolf like me. Since dinging 85 I have been on a similar quest for Karoma (mostly giving up searching for Skoll at all, since I much prefer Karoma). I have searched at least 10-15 times per day, every possible time of day, looking for her... no luck. I found her counterpart Sambas with no trouble at all! But Karoma did not want to come home.

I woke up rather late today and came out to check for her - no luck. I did several more laps, afked a while, then checked again. Still nothing. I went to have a look for Skoll and he wasn't around either. Finally I hearthed to SW and headed towards the Hyjal portal so I can get my dailies done, but the Twilight Highlands portal still looked so very inviting... and so I gave in and decided to have another look. As I start nearing the first spawn point, NPCScan blares, and there she is!! Just pacing back and forth, looking awesome.

Karoma is home now And that officially finishes off the list of all the rares I really want. I can finally quest and BG in peace without that psychotic "MUST CHECK SPAWN POINTS" obsession! I love her haggard looks, and her mean almost skull-like face. The model is so outdated, but it is still one of my favorites for some reason. I think she'll go well with my hunter. Attached is a screenshot of them in the sewers together

Thank you She just did my dailies with me and seems to be clicking well

I abandoned my first karoma, on a Stable Sweep, now I need a "ghost wolf" ._. And I clicked with a vanilla wolf, so I will probably click with a karoma

I like vanilla coyote-wolf models much more than the floofy worgs (though they're okay) and the emaciated northrend worgs. If you go looking for Karoma soon, I wish you luck in finding her swiftly! I need to do a stable sweep soon too... sadly, Gondria's gotta go. I've tried hard to click with her on two characters, and it's just not working out

Karoma is really neat looking. I've been a fan of that skin since I first saw the ghostly wolves in old school Shadowfang Keep.

I tamed and released Gondria, retamed then released again. I do really like her but just not enough to take up a stable slot over another pet. Plus I have Magria and think her model is much better, less transparent in most settings. I also have my favorite cat, a white sabertooth, Skarr, and Loque. That's four cats and is plenty. Plus I realized I was just keeping Gondria around because she matched one of my transmog sets and, for me, that's really not a good reason for a pet to take up stable space. So she's free roaming the snows of Zul'Drak again. Maybe I'll get her back again, who knows.
