[13202] Tameable transparent grey worg

Unread post by Wain »

Has anyone reported this guy before? He seems to be a quest mob in EPL.

Due east of Darrowshire, in the hills, is a grey transparent worg called "The Lone Hunter". He appears to be a corpse but will jump up and attack when you get close.

He's also tameable and keeps his transparent, ghostly effect when tamed:

Well, we have a Ghost Saber, so I don't see why we shouldn't have a Ghost Worg! He seems to be have Old Cliff Jumpers skin as well.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! IT'S GHOST CLIFFY!

Oh man, I am SERIOUSLY going to consider shifting Hector to this skin, just to match Atalanta (these two have been my nearest and dearest raiding pets).

Lovely find! (And no, I don't recall seeing this before.)

Fantastic find. Let's hope it stays tameable when it goes live.:)

I wouldn't get my hopes up that he'll stay tameable for long once it hits live; it could be another pet like Ghost Hydra/Slime/Ghost Dile.

So when this hits, if you want him get `em while you can, better safe than sorry imo.

Mmmm, not exactly the same situation, so I'm inclined to disagree on this one.

The Lone Hunter is a wolf with a wolf skin. The ghost hydra and slime were completely unintentional tames, as they're different species than they appear to be. The only one of the three who could have remained tameable was the ghost crocodile, but because the others became untameable, it was probably easier to just block him as well.

There are other tameable quest mobs (Winna's Kitten comes to mind), so my gut says this one's intentionally available.

Yeah but it could be another Ghost Wo-

...

This could actually be Blizzard trying to fix the ***up they did with Ghost wolves.

Now I don't know how to feel about it.

Does this call for another round of EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEs? :D

I think you're right; they're throwing the wolf lovers a bone! Err...yeah, pun intended.

No i mean it could be the 'Well we promised them a ghost wolf and they keep quoting us, lets give them a ghost wolf again'. Meaning instead of really fixing the problem they're distracting us with a different pet- no offense it is somewhat interesting, but I've always wanted a spectral ghost wolf ever since I saw them for the tauren spirit guide quest and in SFK.

Maybe Blizz figured that they'd see if the appeal was that particular ghost wolf vs. this one. After all, OCJ is highly sought after himself. Or Blizzard really REALLY only wants the coyote ghosts to be associated with shamans, but wasn't going to take away the hard-won puppies and didn't want to deny hunters a ghost wolf forever.

It's something, anyway, which is better than nothing, which we've had for a good stretch of time.

Question: Do you have to be on the quest to see him? Or is he always around?

I need more hunters, IMO.

I wasn't on any quest. I could just tell he was a quest mob by the "!" on this portrait. Because he's a quest mob he respawns fast at least :)

To the OP: I thought thread was going to be about the Grimtotem Spirit Guide model. I was getting excited because I thought Blizz was bringing it back!
And the wolf model you like is actually a Coyote.

Yeah this isn't supposed to be a I hate this model, doesn't anyone else dislike it too? thread.

Actually no it really isn't, no offense or anything Kalli- it's not like the grimtotem spirit wolf, or the ghost creatures from the oracle quest, atleast anything outside of the ghost dile- because even while I do love the ghostly effects, it's just a transluscent grumpy old man stomping about EPL.

Neat find!!! I do not recall seeing this anywhere before.

- Original "ghost wolf" looks like the shaman spirit wolves.
- Having a transparent coyote would look like a shaman's wolf form.
- This is a happy median that doesn't have anything to do with shamans. :)

I'm not personally fond of the model, but the fact that it's OCJ's colors but in a ghostly form is quite neat, indeed. :D
