Pondering about a new huntress

Unread post by Ana »

I got the room and i have some pets i always liked which either doesn´t fit or haven´t got room for on my other hunters.


So made a human huntress named Xinia

So what I´m pondering about and maybe you could help me with some perspectives :D

1) pet names..... totally BLANK. Would like some form of themed stable as i really like having a theme.. and the only hunter i have so fare without a theme is Tårnfalk.
First i thought of a Gemstone themed stable but imo that would not fit the stables.

Themes which alrdy are taken by my other hunters

Veggies/Fruit= Abricot
Booze= Kahlua
Chineese/Japaneese names= Mikaido
Everquest Themed names= Norrathia

2) Transmorg.. I managed to have only 2 sets (so fare...) for Abricot and I´m really pleased with that. I would like Xinia to have max 2-3 transmog sets too.. but her stable is sooo colorfull that I´m in doubt what would fit


So fare this is the stable which i have planned for her

I think you gave yourself your theme already. Shades of color! Get colorful/flamboyant xmog sets! Name your pets after different shade of what color they are. You've got so much color you can make a rainbow stable no pronblem. :)

hehe i thought i would have to many green/blue pets for that.. and i dont know much about shade of colors name.. least not in English ;) - But i like the suggestion!

And a flamboyant set.. hmm only thing which springs into mind is the Magnificent set (http://wowroleplaygear.com/2010/01/11/magnificent-set/) .. but is there a bow/gun and maybe a cloak for that set?

It's one of the hollyhocks in the species Alcea rosea. Don't know if it has an official Latin subspecies or variety name.

It's not a flower, per say, but Dionaea muscipula is the latin name for the Venus Flytrap. Venus Flytraps produce flowers briefly during their growth cycle so it may work out for the theme you've created for your pet names. Dionaea would work beautifully for a ravager name imo!

This list may also help you in discovering some new names for your pets: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_garden_plants

There is a flowering shrub called Lobeira, which means "wolf's plant".

And Pothos is also know as "devil's ivy".

Dionaea for the ravager, Lobeira for the wolf and Pothos for the devilsaur :) cool one step closer :)

Marigold in color fits the brigth owl VERY well.. but i dislike the name.. Is there any other names for that flower?


And i was thinking Cactus for the corehound :)



Appriciate your help alot :D Once Abricot hits lvl 90 Xinia will be my next project. Alrdy bougth her the magnificent set from the ah

and one additional side question... Would the magnificent look best on dark or light skin?


redone the stable a bit - and new additions .. still needs alot of work.. but this attempt is more pleasing to me then the first one... Totally in doubt about the spider

Could still use some perspectives :D I appriciate your helps alot :D

In regards to your spider, I personally love the name Laelia only because orchids happen to be one of my all-time favorite kind of flowers and because I've given that name to one of my own pets.

There's also Cleome Hassleriana, which is the Latin name for the Spider Flower. In fact, Cleome sounds perfect! But that's just my own opinion of course :mrgreen:

If you're looking for something "cactus-related" but not quite as obvious for your corehound pet, you may also like the following alternatives: Saguaro or Opuntia.

Nice idea! Made me look up spider lilies. I may name one of my future spiders Higanbana, which is their Japanese name.
