WoW Petopia Community

So far, the things I've tried have been:
-Scouring FFR
-Searching all of Nagrand
-Searching any caves I could find, found one with some mobs called Shadow Lurkers or something, made me wonder if it had something to do with the berries, I pulled too many and died though, haven't been back there.
-I've mainly been trying to find places associated with Shadow Berries, maybe instead of looking for the Frostwolf part of the puzzle, we should be finding something that relates to the area that the Shadow Berries were picked. We might find something there if we do find that area.
-Tried heading up to the lvl 100 area in SMV, again I died since I'm running through things without killing anything in order to get a quick scan of the area, I noticed a bunch of Fel Tomes or something along those lines with green text when scrolled over, couldn't interact. There was also something else with green text but I didn't catch the full name before I died, I definitely want to check there again.

What ever happened to the void lantern? Anything?

Still haven't found the lantern.

found this in Wolf`s stand Frostfire maybe its a clue

Could be a clue, but I already checked those areas and found nothing. The dagger and red mark in SMV on that map are to the right side of the river, Gara is on the left, might still look into it further though.

Edit: Found this in Nagrand, looks similar to the one Gara is at.

but maybe go for the arrows instead of the weapons

I really love how this whole ordeal has united the hunter community. I'm normally a horde hating, blue blooded alliance player through and through, but I'm more than willing to help my fellow hunters figure this out, no matter the faction.

I found a cave in Nagrand in the Spirit Woods called Spirit Grotto, had some void-crazed spirits in there. Looking closely I noticed there's a Hollowed Skull that I could interact with, from the looks of it interacting with it did nothing, but at this point anything helps.

Thought I'd join in on the fun of this mystery. With a bit of wowhead searching I have found a few things. These spells are incremental order based on ID.

These spells are in incremental order by spell ID, but not necessarily in the relevant order based on the tracking quest IDs and a bit of logic. By tracking quest logic the order of events goes:

• Scratch Gara's ear.
• Show Gara berries.
• Create Effigy.
• Use Effigy.
• Enter void realm. (latern?)
• Spell 8??

to check if you character has completed that step.
E.g.
/dump IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(37423) will return True after you scratch her ear.
/dump IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(37424) will return true after you show her the berries.

So maybe we were on track with that spirit effigy?

Would make sense too as it seems different items are linked to different zones. We all just need to comb the mobs in each zone to find what drops what. I know the fruit is dropped by the mobs at Worgskin's camp in nagrand. And the bone is rumored to drop from thunderlord mobs in FFR? but can't confirm.

At any rate good detective work... If we can find the torn cloth, elder incense and wooden bowl... Maybe we'll get somewhere. http://wod.wowhead.com/item=120120

Could the map shown earlier possibly be pointing out the locations of the mobs that drop the pieces?

I can confirm that the bone in my inventory was dropped by a thunderlord mob

This is the most insane hunter tame ever what the heck.

I wouldn't count on it... The camp where I found the fruit (who knows though, several mobs could drop it. it's just out of three mobs, two of the mobs from Worgskin camp dropped fruit) isn't marked on the map.

Hmmm - now that's some sleuthing.

Can't say I have seen any of those items yet

Wooden Bowl
Elder Incense
Small Fruit
Ancient Bone
Torn Cloth

and then of course the void lantern.

So there's something we can try to do now - look for these items - figure they are drops?

Was also pondering before uselessx posted - we have touch and smell done - next hear, and sight? But I like those items and spells -
great work!

Spirit Effigy - use: place item -

This thread is fun.

Well Moonone, we know where the fruit and bone come from. Fruit is from the orcs at Worgskin's camp in Nagrand, South of Throne of elements. I can confirm this - but other mobs might drop it as well, I don't know. Imoogi says the ancient bone is from thunderlord mobs in FFR. Other three.. no clue.

And it would be to you, Muffinus. Stop teasing us!

(I find it fun too though Even if I'm going crazy.)

I don't think the map is showing us anything -- I found dozens of copies of it all over the place and it was the exact same map -- and often it was tagged as a totally different item "Talaan Jungle" was one in particular I remember.

To be perfectly frank, the fact that someone had to datamine wowhead to get us on the right track is kind of terrible design :/ The thing is, it's only a puzzle until we find all the items - then it gets published and voila, no more puzzle. Kind of disappointing overall.

fwiw, I'm in Spires of Arak to hunt up a possible item. A quest there has you going into the Void Realm -- figure the mobs around there can't hurt to try them out at least.

Wait..

THAT is your first post?!



Thanks!

I had no idea about this until I read a Jeremy Feasel ‏tweet a few hours ago. Got me intrigued, and I don't really play my hunter.
