Timber alert! w/update

[Aoife]

As I was flying over Dun Morogh, my Silver Dragon went off and Timber's portrait popped up on my screen. Lvl 10 near Gnomer, ~31.8, 40.1 according to the icon on my map.... I'm going to go check it out with my hunter now and report back.

UPDATED: I switched to my hunter and got to the location as quickly as I could. No Timber. I stayed in the area for about 15 minutes and then logged to go back to my other toon. I'll be checking back occasionally to see if he shows up.

[Kurasu]

Definitely let us know what you find! I've gone and inspected the area. It's.... not at all hopeful, I have to say. Wowhead reports Timber being in the area, but the place is pretty grimy, there's no beasts that are anything like Timber's level, and with how short his respawn timer was before (about 30 minutes IIRC) I'd be surprised if he's there and 'just not seen'. Unless the gnomes kill him whenever he repops.

I've had silverdragon go off too but it was just a hunter pet that set it off.

It holds the alert until you enter the proper zone, then goes off. It's terribly annoying, as well as being inconsistent. Just keep that in mind when it goes off.

Who is Timber? >>

[Vephriel]

Rare white worg that used to frequent Dun Morogh...not sure if he's still around.

Is it possible tho he had spawned and was already killed? If he really did spawn near Gnomer, it is an active quest zone- it's not impossible for the guards or a player to have killed him. I myself have seen Bayne, a rare purple dog spawn near one of the new forsaken mini hubs and well quickly be oneshot by over zealous guards.

He has a spawn timer of probably the same as Mazzranche, it shouldn't be to hard to clear cache and just camp some spots.

[Kalliope]

He would've been found on beta, if that was the case.

I'm hoping he's granted a reprieve at some point.

Maybe, maybe not Kalliope. Mean I found a few rares no one ever mentioned anywhere, on the PTR in Silverpine Forest alone; a Dwarf on an armored brown bear and a dude who was just casually fishing on a pier. Yeah. A zombie fishing, on a pier that was rare and killable by horde/ally. So never know really. Mean yes I have my doubts about other rares like Araga and such, but well you never know.

We've been over this before. Araga checked into a Motel 6 right before the Shattering.

As for Timber, my bet would be somewhere to the east. He was always a rather high level for his area, but given the close proximity to New Tinkertown, he and his pack were either killed off or forced to migrate to the east.

Unfortunately, his wolf pack was most likely slaughtered by the leper gnomes and their machines (not sure if they're lepers, but they're certainly hostile to Alliance).

[Kalliope]

Timber and Araga are totally different animals in that Timber spawned all the time and Araga didn't. It's possible that Timber's new location wasn't plotted out properly, so he appears not to be in game, though he should be. (Mind you, those poor devs had enough on their hands to begin with; they couldn't catch everything. I spotted a fishing pool on the side of a hill that was very much not underwater in STV today.) Araga is anyone's guess (and no, I don't consider that GM's reply regarding her to necessarily be indicative of anything unless she really does turn up in a cave or Motel 6).

[Aoife]

Well, FWIW, I'll be going back to look from time to time. I have other hunters on other realms that will be looking for him too, so we'll see if he turns up.

Off topic but;

Just go up and loot the school of fish already!

No because he would've been targeted if he was killed.

[Wain]

I suspect he's not in the game and it was someone's existing pet in IF. I do know that there are more old rares to go back in in a patch after Cata is released (how soon, I don't know). Even a couple with potentially exciting new colours (well, exciting if you happen to like those colours )

You like keeping us in suspense, don't you? You naughty fellow, you.
