Waptor Twapping
Posted: Thu Dec 02, 2010 3:19 pm
I've been messing around with trying to tame a tiny sunscale scytheclaw in the Barrens. With the quest Waptor Twapping you get a trap that shrinks the raptors and catches them within the trap. The timing seems to be about 1sec from when the raptor hits the trap to when it is shrunk.
My thinking is if the tame can finish as the raptor shrinks and despawns with any luck the shrink should stick. I haven't yet seen it show up as a debuff with any sort of duration which leads me to believe it's a permanent change to a model that only exists in the game world for a brief moment.
Using a mix of frost traps, positioning so the raptor has to run around environmental objects, and speed potions I've managed on 2 occasions to tame it at NEARLY the same time the shrink trap finishes. The trap even is sparkling meaning the raptor is trapped and ready to loot. Both of the tames I did the /script PetAbandon() method, logged out and back in etc etc. Both times the raptor came back aggresive, and alas, both times normal size. On the bright side both times I managed the tame the shrink visual hadn't actually triggered which makes me think my best timing is .1-.3 secs off. I'm starting to run out of speed potions though and was wondering if anyone else has taken a few stabs at this and what their results were.
The best targets I've found are the ones around the little raptor camps, they dont move very much and you can confidently place a freeze trap infront of them.
Have been mixing in the core hound buff as well between potions, 10min cooldown is a pain though.
