In my opinion they're still reskins, no matter how long they've been in the game! Nearly every mob in the game is some kind of reskin. Like how demon dogs share models, but have different skins, like the blue ones in Colarra, or pink in Tirisfal, or red in Zul'drak. Or all of the mastiff skins - they were all released at the same time, but they're still reskins. It's a different skin on the same model. Reskin.

(You ever say a word so much it loses meaning and looks weird? I'm doing it with reskin, lolol)

Then why in the world are we whining about it, when so many of our beloved pets are technically 'reskins' by your definition?

I'm not. I'm rather excited about them.

Same...I want all three of the new spirit beasts, with particular interest in Ban'thalos and Magria. *w*

I mentioned this in the other thread, but at least with me, I had always hoped Spirit Beasts would be unique within the family and would be exempt from the palette swap treatment.

Very much agreed. I still want all the spirit beasts.

Are we counting the new 2 gem pets found in this group too? They are by far my favorite 4.2 rares as of now, except Deth.

We should be; the patch notes were updated to include them.

The exact spawn locations/paths/whatever aren't marked, since we don't really know what they are yet, but that's a general ballpark for people who are just looking to make sure they're in the correct part of the zone.

With 2 more rares found, An updated version may be needed.

Oh right, I can do that.

Nice, I'll know where to look now.

The little islands they spawn on aren't even on the big map, but once you're there, you can pretty easily tell which ones are the right ones.

Yep, It gives you an idea of where to stop and start looking at the Islands. Is it possible to get the tame off without needing to be on the same island. I remember you mentioned you didn't need to, but I figured that was for the crab ?

It's for both. You can stand off to the side and just tame from afar. Same spawns, same strategy.

That's good news then, I hate having to try and jump to an island only to miss and fall to your death.

Oh uhm.

Getting to the island itself means jumping across stepping stones.

>_>

So you still have to do it, just not to the smaller islands.

I managed to do that today without falling, I just went very slow and was very careful. I still don't like doing it though, suppose I'll get better at it with practice.

You'll probably be even less excited to know that 3-4 of the islands can disappear at times....

But making it even once is good! xD

I did notice they would disappear, however if you waited a couple seconds, it would come back as new island. It was closer to the end of the chain. I remember thinking, how am I going to get across if they vanish on me when I get there, or will I fall to my death because it vanished on me just as I landed on it..

The rocks get cracks in them before they fall apart, so there's a bit of warning. There are also safe spots.
