Mech pets and taming

[Dakender]

All I'll say is that you may not get what you need on your first run. Fortunately it's only a dungeon and can be reset.

Yea, about 30 minutes after I posted that I figured it out. Needed sleep so waited till this morning to post Will put specifics up here if needed, but don't want to spoil stuff too soon for those still trying. Or you can read about it on my FB Page W0W Alpha Beta Adventures.

Well done!!! That is fantastic

I'll tweet it, and provide a link to here and to your FB page. I hope you don't mind if I use your screenshot in the tweet.

[Dakender]

Cool, don't mind a bit on picture. Love to help out when I can

I was going to recommend you post on Wowhead to stake your claim as first, but I see you have Well done again! This one is really nice.

So... is it still possible to get the first punch card on live to lead up to the Prismatic? Because I have a goblin hunter who's an engineer (700) and I have gotten nada in over an hour of spamming Gnomer. ><;

[Wain]

For me it's starting at Punch Card 2. On Alpha, that is. Cleaning those grimy objects I didn't find it too hard to get one. Not like really fast, but not too bad either.

OHHH!!! I was trying for mob drops. I will try grimy thingers. Thanks Wain.
Edit: WoWhead does not list punch cards from the box on live. I'm going to save my objects for 7.0. Nada out of the first 4, so I'm gonna play it safe.

I think the quest they were originally from was removed. Don't quote me on that. So the cards may well have been removed too, and they've been returned and repurposed for this

Yep, the quest was indeed removed in Cata. That's my thought exactly. I have 60 objects stockpiled. LOL. Ready!

I can confirm many runs trying to get the item needed to tame the Mechanostrider, that the White card is not in the game anymore and the Yellow one does not drop off any mobs, have to play the slot machine and just wait for it to pop, after that it's cake to get the rest of them in order to finally end up with the prismatic.

I have run it numerous times on all 3 Alpha servers to get the Pet Tamed and it's always the same. Also, on one of the toons, I got all the way to the Red Punch card then got that toon stuck for almost 2 days, the 3rd day he still had the Red Punch Card in his inventory... Something I might test out, go ahead and get the Prismatic one on live and see if it is still there a week later or so Then it will be a mad rush launch day to get the First Tame

[Valnaaros]

Out of curiosity, how would one know if they did get the First Tame?

So wait, can we get the cards on live? I'm confused. >.>

[Sigrah]

So wait, is this the thing you'll need in order to tame Mechs?

That's it. When did you get it? ><

Telerie was my very first Engineer back in the BC days. I kept it as a memento all these years in the bank. Anyways, might be useful to compare this one to the one on the Legion alpha server. Mine is flagged as "quest item", and the ones they're adding back in alpha might be different than this one.

Oooh... Yep, looks like I'll wait until 7.0.

[Wain]

Not to tame mechs in general, just that one mechanostrider Assuming it's the same ID.
