I updated the game, some add ons, and logged in and again nearly left-- some friends of friends had been added to the guild I ran and decided we were their grocery store-- THE DAY BEFORE! Sighing, I took it as a sign to just go with it, and refill with my new level 80 (from the scroll of rez) Warlock and with my hunter once Pandaria opened.
And then I saw the pictures of Savage and fell hopelessly in love.
So I came back here, read all about him, logged back to my belf hunter on Moon Guard and started stalking... and while I DID find prints, I never found anything else. Today, I was nearing frustration level 10 when I saw a very nice Troll named Tazza with what looked like Savage. I whispered and found he'd tamed the cat earlier in the day. When I admitted I was lost with my hunting, he came over and took me to Emperor's Omen, where he had tamed Savage earlier, told me again what I needed to do and wished me luck.
Under twenty minutes later a bloody track appeared...one flare later, there was Savage!
::happy grin::
I now have a wonderful white tiger of my own, named Bevan. And Tazza, if you post here? THANK YOU!!!!! ::happy hug::
Here is a nice picture of Bevan, Arisia, and one of the three tanooki who kept me company while I waited... they insisted being in the picture... don't ask....
