Lucky, happy hunter.

Unread post by Pawtrack »

Well I thought I'd post stories of my two rare tames.... and how lucky I was with both of them! :D

(And please forgive me if this should be somewhere else.... I dunno where else to put it :?: )

First, the time I tamed Humar...

I was kinda bored, and had no idea what pet to get (I was going through pets so fast! This was before I'd got my gorrila) so I went on petopia (I think... :| hmm I forget >.<...) but anyway, I decided I wanted to tame Humar. So I flew my hunter to ratchet, tabbed out and googled Humar the Pridelord ( I had no idea where he spawned! :lol: ) so I see where he spawns on the map. Oh, had no idea that's where he spawned... I thought :lol:. So I run up towards the tree where he spawns... and there was a mage killing everything in sight :( . But all's not lost! I whisper the mage asking him if he'd seen/killed humar... no answer. Well I run up to the tree regreting even flying to ratchet... BUT THERE HE IS!!!! :o OMG!!! I was half freaking out and half scared... :shock: so I run up and ambandon my pet (it was either my echeyakee or hyena... don't remember... :| ) and start to tame! However, I was a noob hunter and didn't even put a trap down, so (since I had also aggro'd 2 or 3 other lions :roll: ) I died :cry: . Well, I ran back as fast as my ghost would alow, rezzed and ate and drinked til I was at full health (you don't know how long it takes to get to full health/mana when there's a mage killing everything in sight and there's a super rare tamable mob in front of you :lol: ) and started to tame again (making sure to get out of aggro range of the other lions, but I still didn't put a trap down... yea, I was a noob :lol: ) well, long story short - I got him! :D I was so happy, and I didn't even know the full extent of his hard-to-find-rare-ness. (No prarie dog even - not even P. Dawg's might can beat my luckiness! :lol: )
I was all Jittery after that!

Then, the more recent tame, Snarler;

I had known about snarler and vowed to tame him once I got to 42. Thanks to two heirlooms, I got there pretty fast...
Well, it was about 17mins since I had dinged 42 (around 11 of which were spent in a random dungeon) and since I was leveling in feralas (yes, on purpose) I had ran to camp him as soon as I dinged. Well, I come out of my random dungeon, run around a bit and looked on my minimap (track beasts was on) and who was there but Snarler! Even though there was none else in the entire zone, I got exited and kinda panicked and forgot to Hunter's Mark him... /facepalm :roll: . Well I feign death (as he'd almost killed me) and eat and mana up. (I swear it takes ten times longer to get to full health/mana with a rare pet around! :lol: ) Well, I finnaly got to full health and mana and ran over to tame him. I was smarter this time and put down a trap, Hunter's Marked him and started taming! :D I got him this time!!! (Oh, and I had the prarie dog out :lol: )

So am I just insanely lucky or is this more normal luck for a hunter?
Either way... I just hope I'm this lucky when I go look for Loque'nahak/Arcturis. /fingers crossed :?

That is pretty fortunate that you were able to find your rares and tame them, even with someone around (for Humar). Nowadays it is slightly easier to get some of those out-of-the-way rares like Snarler, only because it seems people don't do much questing in those zones anymore. But finding Humar certainly was pretty lucky! :D

Congratulations on both of them. :)

Congrats *snickers* My record would have to be 9 creditable rares in one day... two of which are spirit beasts. Not that I tamed them all, but I did /1 chat to find a adopter. =]

Makes me wish my guildie had the same luck as you last night when he was camping for Humar. When he logged off for no reason after waiting for hours, Humar spawned and another hunter got him. I was around just to keep the guildie company and even another guildie (a warlock) wanted to spend some time with us. That whole wait was a bummer. I didn't care for Humar since I already got Araga.

Anyway, congrats on your tames.

Most excellent luck and grats. I remember my luck for Humar was so bad. In fact, I've only had two lucky spawns. Numaroc and Gondria.
