Non-gnome/goblin Hunters Taming Mechanicals

I know that to do this, you need a specific item. And I know at last check, people were still trying to find how to get the coins(?) for it.

Any news on this from Beta folks? I don't particularly want to race-change Kura, and there's some mechanicals that I have an eye on.

It is believed that the coins are extremely rare. People have gotten them from dungeons or hard-difficulty worlf quests, but I have only seen a few whom have been luck enough to get one.

I sincerely hope this is just a beta /ptr bug and not intended to be that rare. Has it been reported or?

Some have found it, as I said. But seeing as each recipe only requires one coin, I think it is meant to be rare.

At least rare spawns are part of the drop rate. .... that unfortunately will make them heavily camped, but it's *something*.

It depends on the rares. Many only reward loot for the first time you kill them on a character. Others, like those in Tanaan, are daily.

Oh good. If that's the case, I hope that whether the coins can or can't drop rfom the non-dailies (it'd be nice if they could but), they *can* drop from the dailies. I'd hate to think that not getting them on your 'only go-around chance' would bar te chance of getting a coin from rares for folks like me who can't do dungeons/raids. ;)
