It took me 3 sessions, I had to hit all 3 continents (sometimes hand of protection was the only reason I was able to survive long enough to click through to the "complete" button), and there were barely enough elders to get me the 50 I needed, but finally today the end was in sight - I just had 1 more to get, and that was the elder in Blasted Lands standing outside the Outlands portal.
Having just finished Burning Steppes, I made my way down through Deadwind Pass into Swamp of Sorrows - as some may know DWP is now full of lvl 50 spiders, but fortunately it takes them a few seconds to drop down from their perches, so I was able to run by with no problem... followed by a hissing mob of the skittering nasty things. I proceeded on through the swamp to stop at Stonard and pick up the flight path, and noticed something... odd.
Three of the spiders were still following me - they were a ways back as I was mounted, but they were closing in. Only, my crossed swords combat indicator was off.
Curious, I waited to see what would happen.
Well they caught up, and just stood there. I apparently *could* have attacked them, as my cursor went to a sword on mouseover, but I opted not to try that... and the guards left them alone. Except for shouting battlecries every time the spiders went near them. Well at least the guards' *instincts* were right...
What do you mean you won't take them? You're a stablemaster aren't you??
3 slightly used spiders for sale - CHEAP!
So I headed off for the final Lunar elder... when I got there, I decided to wait. Sure enough, a minute or so later, my 3 friends dutifully arrived to say farewell-
Through the portal to Outland, around the corner to the Org portal, and one more portal hop through the moonlight circle, and Jigokusai had himself a one nifty pet!
Happy Lunar Festival to all!
