Rak'Shiri

[Ryai]

You know never know which forum is more appropriate for this sort of deal <.< anyways...

Yesterday I had decided, I wanted her. Rak'Shiri, not because cats are imba dps or anything but I just like to cycle thru several pets when in dungeons. And usually before 60, 70 or 80, I have my stables full. And Em...

Was lacking two pets for that.

I had contemplated the white gorilla, but after accidently killing it I realized if I had really wanted it, I wouldn't have gone and done what I did, so I left the hunt to someone who'd appreciate the special ape. After reading a thread here, a spark for Araga went off; but again it just didn't stick. Not because I'd have to camp as long as I had for Skoll on Yas, but, it just didn't feel right.

And then Em ding'd 57, and something nagged at me. Wasn't there a rarespawn, level 57, in winterspring? So I make the countless journey to petopia, click thru some things and find yes. Yes there is a rarespawn.

My hunt was fruitless yesterday, but today, after dealing with a thunderstorm that knocked the power out 5 times while I was awake and probably alot before that, given how flooded the back yard is at the moment...






Rak'Shiri was found, and obtained by Embront

Grats on your tame! I have him on my belf, and he's one of those "I will not get rid of" pets. I got him at lvl 57, and he's been a steadfast companion ever since. He's absolutely gorgeous!

Biggest of congratulations! ^^ I tamed Rak'Shiri after running out of friends who hadn't completed the quest for Shy-Rotam. He was meant to be an aged version of my Winterspring Pride Watcher, Erulissë, but alas, we did not connect.

Still, wonderful find. =)

Congrats! I have always thought that the tauren look good with one of the riding tiger kittens, and this helps me to believe that even more. I wish you two many happy hunting seasons together.

Gratz!

Congrats!

Way back when only Horde could spawn Shy-Rotam, I had spied that awesome blue tiger in my visits to Ironforge (to put it in perspective, back then it was Lagforge -g-) and my level 23 NE Hunter decided she HAD to have him.

When I finally hit the proper level for Rak'shiri, I began a (no, not kidding you) THREE WEEK (seven hours a day, mind you) epic stalk for the darn thing, only to have a twit whose (and yes, she proudly told me this in a whisper) boyfriend leveled her hunter so she would let him play some nights tame him seconds before me, after asking me why I was standing around in the snow. I sent her the info on Petopia and she wanted the tiger (and this still makes me implode -g-) "because it matched her armor." (/headdesk)

I logged out after that, needing to get away afore I said something rude, and hours later when I logged back in, intending to HS back to a city, some amazing Horde folks, doing the Quest saw me watching (and occasionally helping them by sending in a few arrows when they needed help) and actually helped me tame the tiger-- they'd only wanted the white lion! Even when I died the once, they waited for me to run back.

To this day I have Merlyn as my NE Hunter's primary pet... don't think I'll ever let him go, either.

May your blue tiger give you as much joy!

Grats! I love Rak'shiri. I will never, ever, ever, ever give up Moonlight. He will level with me when we brave the mess that will be Cata.

Grats on the tame!

Whenever I go up there to look for her, she's always missing. But then again, on my server Winterspring is large traffic area 101 because of the mount for Alli and questing in general.

Congratulations on the tame. She's gorgeous.
