Yesterday was a completely lucky day for me and one orc hunter. After catching Karoma, Sambas and Ankha the day before yesterday only shortly after Larkania dinged 85, I rehomed two molten front-rares yesterday.
I was doing my dailies wit my orc hunter Morga, randomly looking for any spawns. I finished with them quickly (as he hasn't much progress, yet) and wanted to return to the portal when I see a red dot running around Kirix place. The name plate says "Kirix" so I begin typing in /who to look for possible new owners. I'm glad to have taken my corehound Fluffy with me (yeah, Harry Potter...) and safely get around Kirix to place myself on a rock. No other hunters are around. The first hunter from my list I whisper is not interested (said she doesn't collect rares, but thanked me for the information, saying that never happened to her before), from the second hunter I get a "YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!". We get in group (he's orc, too) together and he runs up to me. I explain him the rock-taming method. We try the single rock first (the one where the wind buff is in front of), but as already written in several posts, it still bugges. The tame finishes, but Kirix just turns around, kills the other orc and goes away.
In this time other people arrived, Alliance and Horde. A belf gets on the same rock where we tried it from first time. She gets her chance, but same thing: he kills her and runs away. Some stupid Alliance priest and mage constantly try to kill Kirix, but he doesn't care and finishes them off in not time (and not only once, but at least four times each one). During Kirix killing party we change rocks to one at the end of his destruction path. There you have the windbuff and can reach him with tame (I'll mark him in my screenshot), I give the orc something to eat and a haste pot, I start bloodlust, he hits tame, but it's not fast enough and Kirix kills him, again. The Belf tries again, but also dies. Then some Nelfs show up (it's two hunters, one with a corehound, so I think they are in group) and try to tame Kirix from solid ground. He kills them both. Other people start to drop in and watch. The Belf, my group Orc and the Nelfs are taking turns. We try with "pop bloodlust, switch skill to marksman - he tames - I silence", but it doesn't work out, Kirix aggroes me and the tame doesn't finish again. The orc in my group has no corehound, so I could stay as mm, but then I have the idea that gets his tame "fiancé has corehound". I beg my faincé to get his orcy ass to us along with his corehound and invite him in our group (that makes three orcs now). Amanon (the orc who wants to tame) is up to 2 minutes before being able to rezz. I watch Kirix kill several other people during the time my fiancé needs to get to us and Amanon being able to rezz. he kills the Belf again, the nelfs, some other people trying to kill him (heehees, didn't work out for you, douche bags!). Finally we three are all gouped up on our rock. Darling poppes bloodlust, Amanon tames, I silence his cast and feign death, the tame finishes and YAY, Kirix moves up to our rock. The other people just stare at us, the belf gives us well earned gratulations and tells us, she already has Skarr and doesn't mind a fair competiton. Then the others leave. We take a screeny of my corehound, darling's Kirix and Amanons Kirix. (The skarr is the one of the belf)
I talk a little to Amanon, explaining him the ghost-kittens strategy when suddenly I notice a red dot on Skarr's/Karkin's northernmost spawnpoint. He just told me, he absolutely loves Skarr's skin to pieces. I get my mouse over the red dot and it says SKARR! Amanon had just left group to finish his dailies, I yell at him in whisper "SKARR IS UP!" we regroup, I explain him the strategy (he has mm as second specc), he switches skills, and tries his luck. Nobody around to be seen. First time he silences Skarr's cast too early and the second one kills him, but the second try all went smoothly and he got his shiny new cat at his side. Picture of his new Skarr in stealth and my Ruby.
Picture of Kirix rocks:
The pink marked rock is the bugged one, you can see it with the piles of sceletons on there) the yellow dart shows where our rock had been. It's the one next to the rock you need to get on, to hop up to fireplume peak, the one most closely to Kirix way.
Wow, lot of text, but it was such a exciting taming (Kirix) and such wonderful luck for Amanon (grats again, if you should ever read it!) to get both these wonderful pets. It was the second rehoming of 4.2 rares that worked (rehomed Solix a week ago, or so) after I almost lost my confidence after two Deth deaths.
