A Tale of 2 Skarrs (3, but only 2 pictured).

[Ocyen]

It's Saturday morning, 5am. I already had it in my head I wasn't going to tame any of the new 4.2 rares on my main hunter at least until 4.3, the grieving and camping is just too much. I jump into the Molten Front, start doing dailies and BAM! NPCScan goes off...it's Skarr. The one pet I wanted when the new 4.2 pets were revealed.

Now flash back to shortly before Cataclysm dropped. I was on a lucky streak of Spirit Beast tames, catching them all while my girlfriend Twigget was having no luck whatsoever. Well I helped her snag a Skoll after the spawn timer reset (after my tame); so this was time for payback. I woke her up and told her Skarr was up. She jumps to her desk, logs on and I swear--it was like taming a Vanilla common to her.

It's now Sunday at 7am. After helping another hunter yesterday get Skarr (who sent me a lovely mail with thanks), my girlfriend wakes ME up. "He's up!" She is on my hunter, competing with a Horde for Skarr. After a pain in the ass tame this time around...me (Mezcaal, Human Hunter) and her (Twigget, Draenei Hunter); now have matching Skarr pets.

Ladies and gents, Onyx and Smoke:



Side note, the Orc sent me a mail with all sorts of sad face commentary. I replied wishing him good luck; and my girlfriend actually let him have his shot, but at the end of the day the spirit of competition turned in our favor with no dirty tricks.

Be excellent to each other.

Grats!

Yay! Congrats on your two tames! They are neat-looking kitties.

[Serenith]

Grats to you both!!

My story was pretty similar. No one got mean, and everyone took their turn, if they failed then it was fair game to anyone, but I got lucky that no one seemed to know what they were doing... seriously watched one belf hunter fail three times before I even made my attempt. Got him first try too. But he seems to be a pain for people who don't remember to silence.

Yeah, this Orc was none too bright. He kept hitting feign death for some silly reason. I died once, but that was a bit of confusion. Twigget's tame was far easier...it was done in really bad 341 gear, no Silent Shot...just; the luck of the Irish I guess? xD
