Re: Where The Wild Things Are (MoP rare information)
His tracks do face forward. If they're two different directions, he likely turned around at that point.Demonicow wrote:well i was tracking savage who left two prints one facing in two directions i heard his prints are now facing forward in5.1 can anyone confirm this?

Re: Where The Wild Things Are (MoP rare information)
From the 5.1 thread:
- Portent, Rockhide, Bristlespine, Stompy, Savage, and Bloodtooth's tracks are now facing the correct direction. (Thanks, Quivering!)
- Glimmer and Patrannache (thanks, Quivering!), as well as Hexapos's tracks are still backwards.
As that forum is dead now, wouldn't it be better to update the front post here with that info, as well as Bombyx?

Re: Where The Wild Things Are (MoP rare information)
Anyway, something minor: I know they had changed it so they wouldn't be aggressive while flared before Mists went live, but as of 5.1, they aren't aggressive period. They're still labeled aggressive, but even attacking one will do nothing. (Was trying to stop Stompy from getting away from the person I was helping, was pretty sure I couldn't take out ~1.5 million health in one shot xD) They simply ignore you and keep going.

*nods* I updated the main post for that. I'll make it even clearer.Myzou wrote:Thanks. I knew you linked to it, but the 5.1 forum will probably go poof once 5.2 hits the PTR, so I thought it couldn't hurt to get it all migrated over.

Re: Where The Wild Things Are (MoP rare information)
So after Bloodtooth, I actually weighed the pros and cons and decided to get a few more of the new rares... Bristlespine and Patrannache in Pandaria, and Sunwing in Azeroth. Bristlespine and Patrannache were the hardest to track down -- Bristlespine because of his sharp turns, and Patrannache because of the sheer length and complexity of his path. Sunwing was just a waiting game; I'd see a hunter or two camping him, queue for AV, fly around a bit, then check back. Eventually I found his corpse and knew he'd be back in a couple of hours. My timing was great -- I got out of an AV and he was there.
Bristlespine and Patrannache I chose for PvP CC. Stompy will probably be suprerior once goats are fixed. The ones I had to bid farewell: Gezzarak -- no longer unique. Rak'shiri -- still beautiful, but the lower polygons are showing their age. And a red fox I no longer had a real excuse for since I have Ashtail, just that they were a mated pair named Scully and Mulder
Re: Where The Wild Things Are (MoP rare information)
I spent hours flying over the large oval Kalli highlighted on her video for Bombyx, and never found a track.
http://www.wowhead.com/npc=67820
I went to the coordinates someone mentioned in the comments here, 32, 48. I found tracks everywhere. After about 5 minutes of flaring, I found Bombyx. In the pursuit of interest, I marked him, and followed. That small area on Wowheads map? That's all he did. He went up, down, up, down, etc. He still did it erratically, but he just patrolled that extremely small area.
Can someone else check bombyx on their server? Maybe mine was just a fluke, I only followed him going up and down twice (which took about 30 minutes with all the twirling/back and forth he was doing, lol) before I tamed him and named him Caterpie. xD However, as wowhead's only recorded data for him is also in that small area, I'm bound to believe his spawn area was shrunk DRASTICALLY since the PTR.
And yes, he still goes under/over water on that path. He starts next to a big tree, wanders around, goes over some water to a small "island", twirls around, and goes back.

Re: Where The Wild Things Are (MoP rare information)
The indicated area on the map I originally posted was merely a guideline, since he can wander within that bubble quite a ways off. He doesn't cover ALL of said circle, though. The Wowhead map is missing a few turnoffs that Bombyx does. On a map that far zoomed out, many of the detailed areas are impossible to cover. In the interest of covering too much ground rather than too little, I opted for the circle.
You only saw a small section of his path. He favors that central area more than others, but he does branch out as far as the Temple of the Red Crane, considerably longer than the Wowhead map covers. Most hunters aren't going to stick with him that long, but Caelan and I did watch him for hours and he does go that far. And if you need further proof, I've got video evidence. Sure, most people won't find him on those parts of his path, but depending on how long he's been up, anything's possible.

This is a completely accurate description of his pathing.Novikova wrote:Honestly, I had the best luck standing at the banks of the river and flaring at both sides because Bombyx's path consists of *flail* *wigglewiggleyeah* *FLAIL TO THE LEFT* *squirm if you're diggin' bein' a 'pillar with swag* *flail s'more* *you put your left feet in, you pull your left feet out and then you shake it all about* *wiggle with feeling* *turn a circle* *And that's what it's all about*
