Cross-Faction Skoll tame

Unread post by Varethyn »

After yet another failed mount run in both Sethekk Halls and Magister's Terrace I ported over to Storm Peaks to check futilly for TLPD. As I was flying towards the frozen lake from Ulduar I spotted a dwarf Beast Master sitting afk at Skoll's northernmost spawn point. I flew down and wished him /luck before continuing my journey.
Once I reached the lake I swept the camera around out of curiosity and who do I see? So I wing it back to the dwarf and /excited at him followed by a few /beckons. Making sure he was following I guided him over to the blue Thunderpuppy where the dwarf practically dive-bombed the poor thing, frost trapped and began taming, which was successful. My heart is still pounding.
The dwarf told me to /wait and relogged to a tauren DK with which he thanked me. Apparently he'd been camped at the disk by Brunnhilde Village for a while, flew over to the lake with no luck and was preparing for a long camp at the northern point. He'd only just arrived there, so Skoll must've only just spawned when I found him! He told me to expect a reward within the hour. Had it not already been sent I would've declined.
WoW now has 2 more happy hunters :D

I was too excited to think of screenshots :<

What a wonderful story! And curiosity killed the cat, what was the reward?

UPDATE: He sent me 2000g :o I couldn't...
EDIT: Nope, I sent it back with a note saying I was simply happy to have helped. Hopefully he'll understand :)

/semi-bump *excuse for double post*
On a seperate note my guild called me rude and inconsiderate for sending the money back. Some people simply don't understand how rewarding it is to help a person. /sigh

congrats on being humble and nice!

Besides powerleveling professions I think gold is mostly pointless once you get to a certain amount. Powerleveling professions is quite fun though :)

Foxy Fighters is actually a nice guild, the players are quite friendly. Its just no one there takes hunter pets seriously (except foxes :lol:). The first reply I got when I mentioned receiving 2k gold in the mail was "WTF Skoll's worth way more than that! :P" After that, and the negative (but no doubt joking) response to sending it back it was all laughs :)
Always the same with any rare pet I mention x_x

It's always nice to be able to cross-faction help I think :)
I gave a KK to an alliance hunter a few nights ago and he was so thrilled we wound up adding each other through battlenet and talk everyday about pets.
If I need to say something to an alliance player if I spot a pet they are obviously camping I usually grab my lap top and log into my husbands account where we have an alliance alt. Works out well :)
Anyway, Kudos to you for giving the lightning puppy a good home :)
