WoW Petopia Community

First off let me warn those who are reading this that I tend to tell long stories about my tames.

I've been on my alliance hunters the last several weeks getting them up to level and working my worgen huntress Jobiensis the most cause I really wanted her to hit 80. So yesterday I sat down as determined as ever to hit 80. I was not logging off till it happened. Of course over the last three weeks Jobie has been looking for King Krush constantly by camping, circling and questing. Camping more, circling more even questing in only areas right next to spawn points. I was busting my butt doing PuGs and questing and decided to make a lap looking for Krush. I'd always told myself that if I spotted Loque I'd nab him in a heart beat. I get to the southern spawn point at Skyreach Pillar and my NPC Scan blares and gives me a heart attack at the same time as deafening me. I target him not holding the hope that he was alive but he was!!! At this point things start to happen quickly. I drop down practically dismounting mid air and drop the trap and try to tame. Message flashes on the screen that I already have a pet. SON OF AH .................. dismiss pet like a crazy woman, tag Loque again and cast tame. I had completely forgot where I'd set my trap but he found his way into it. Somehow. Tame goes off without a hitch and he's mine!! I race off to the stable master and drop off a pet because after all need to save an open slot just in case I get lucky and Krush comes around.

Did more quests and the time starts ticking by. Get into another random dungeon and it's Utgrade Pinnacle. Going through it in not the best group and we get to the spot at the top of a set of stairs and the tank rushes in not realizing that everyone else isn't following. He dies and I guess most of us weren't paying much attention either because two of us run in, the healer and I and she dies first then me. Then the pack of mobs go after the one person left which was a rogue who also died. Here is where things get a little odd and very cool. I'm laying there dead by the wall on top of some hay and get up (IRL) to get something to drink and I happen to notice that one of the big worgs was making his way back to where I was. I thought to myself that this wasn't a good spot to have died. Then what happened next I feel was meant to be and a sign from the WoW gods. This big white wolf laid down. He laid to where my head was on his right leg. I watched in awe and knew it my heart I had to have him. Tame went off without a hitch and he was mine. He is now my favorite on Jobie. I named him Snowdrift.

Not thinking the night could get ANY better I continue my questing, circling and PuGing routine all the while keeping an eye on my XP bar to see how much closer I am getting to 80. More quests completed and I decide to check again for Krush. I head south toward Skyreach Pillar area and start heading across. Not even thinking anything will happen NPC Scan once again blares that Krush has been located. I target him immediately and he's alive and RED! I slam my mount to the ground and hold my breath knowing that I was about to use my taming macro that I'd not used in a very long time. Mark him, tag him and mash the macro. I didn't even look at the time just stared at Krush's silver dragon name tag watching for the upcoming fear and didn't see anything then heard the ding. Krush was at my side. He didn't fear me once. Didn't stomp me and beat me into the ground. In fact he only took about a 1/4 of my health. I pretty much fell out of my desk chair and yelled when I realized how perfect the tame had gone off. Roomy looked at me like I was psycho. My glory was and happiness however was short lived when I saw a huge twilight drake land with a horde rider who was and 85 hunter I think it was. I was to freaked out to really look. I just stood there frozen with fear and said "oh f@#k!". I then see the guild name that said <Petopians> and any amount of excitement immediately left and felt more fear that I may have just stolen a guild mates tame /kill. I start bartering with myself that it wasn't like I knew someone had been looking for him. I believe it was Jade on the drake. I get a hug and a cheer then my fear started to subside a little bit. And Ms Teigan herself drops from the skies on her lion mount and in my mind and being the paranoid person I am with these things I said "oh no" and kinda watched. More hugs and cheers all around and I started to feel a lot better but still had the worries that I may have taken someones tame /kill. I hated the feeling but at the same time was in love with my big green baby. Teigs later came onto alliance to work her one toon and nab that gorgeous she spider Chitter and explain to me that no ones tame was stolen that she was going to go for the achievement if no one got him but she'd not arrived in the basin yet and how amazingly I came along. I was more then grateful that she was not able to get there in time. Had she though I would have been understanding. A bit sad but understanding. BUT HEY! This aint no sad story!!!! My lovely she dino will be named after the lovely Ms Teigan who played a huge roll in the way things came about and were meant to be. This may sound odd but I am eternally grateful to Teigan and Jade (?). After three weeks of searching for King Krush I found him and with two guardian angels in tow.

I hit 80 not long after and happily said good night and logged out the most elated huntress I've ever been. Sorry to be so long winded but I warned you. [/color]

Grats on the new babies hon! I love the new doggie, he really wanted to come home with you. Tired of the cold I assume.

Love the part about the pup! That's adorable, and so perfect.

Aw, I'd have to say the wolf is the best tame of the three. :3 Well, in my opinion.

Love the wolf story!
