A lucky holiday season...... I DON'T BELIEVE IT!!!!

Unread post by Dvalin »

Just thought I'd share my recent rare tames that I've managed to snag over the holiday season.

Late night Christmas eve/ Early Christmas day I found a Black Madexx, not my fave colour but a day later I was rewarded with this guy.

A few days later I was up very late and after reading Karma's story of taming Krush I decided to take one last flight to the Basin and see whats up. Typically earlier in the day I'd just got that Argent Tournament tabard so I could get back and forth to northrend fast when my Wormhole generator was on cooldown. So I flap down from the tourney and do a quick /who ehn I hit the top end of the basin, 1 level 80 pally online, dang, thats gonna mean he's not here or dead, anyway I continued to flap on in and just as I reach his north spawn point, boing!!! off goes my npc scan, I braced myself for a corpse but no! to my great joy and surprise, and shaking hands, there he was, all green and magnificent. I hopped off my mount, popped a pot of speed and hit tame, one fear and 12k damage later he was mine.

Next up we have Sambas, a rare I wasn't really looking to get, don't get me wrong, I like him but he wasn't going to give me sleepless nights. Anyway this particular early morning I was on a lazy flap back from Stratholme, farming orbs for my priest, I get to wetlands and thought what the hell I'll go have a fly by and get some ore if nothing else. I'd already had a lucky evening, getting both the White hawkstrider and the orb of the sindorei in Heroic MGT. Anyway I flap past thunder mar and again npc scan goes off for Sambas, I wasn't looking where I was so I flew on down expecting to see a hunters pet, but nope there he was waiting for me, noone else was nearby so I hit that tame button and now I have me a fancy pants lion :)

The next day I was zooming around Uldum when I rtealised I needed to mail some stuff so I flew back to Gadgetzan and on my way back my npc scan pinged and lo and behold there was Harakiss the infestor. I already had, Buru the gorger but I really loved this blue colour, so he promptly joined my stables.

Image

and finally, last night I was down in the depths of Vashj'ir looking for the notorious Burgy Blackheart so I could "Lew teh hat" . He wasn't around so I took my seahorse for a swim over the Abandoned Reef, and of course there was Ghostcrawler. I sent a tell to an ex guildie who I'd previously helped tame Terrorpene to see if she wanted him how ever she was AFK. I followede him a while and he kept doing his vanishing act until finally he just didn't reappear at which point my friend finally got back to me. Told her what happened and I went back to find the pirate and she came and had a look but couldn't see him so she logged out. I still couldn't find the pirate so I went back looking for the crab and there he was so I popped a tame and boy did that hurt. But now Phantomclaw as he has been dubbed, has a home alongside the 4 N'rend spirit beasts.

Image

So today I logged back in at Burgy's haunted wreck and I stole his hat.

I really just hope my luck holds for a Terrorpene tame :)

Thanks :) it just means I'm gonna have nothing good drop for the next year, it'll be a Wolfslayer sniper rifle situation again (just to clarify, I waited 9 months for that gun to drop in Kara.)

Ok now my Luck must run out, it has to. I'm still shaking because not moments ago as I'm sitting waiting to see if Terrorpene will spawn ( been here about an hour ) and npc scan goes off and well, I think the only thing that can possibly explain it is the magic petopia forum. I'm speechless.

He looks awesome with you! Must be your red beard. :lol:

You've had amazing luck, congratulations! Maybe WoW is paying you back for those long months you waited for your gun. ;)

Thanks Rhyela, hehe, yeah the beard does seem to match the terrain and the turtle pretty well :) Its nice to have some good luck for a change. I think that Khazgoroth must know I'm going to be a busy dwarf for the next few months with uni work so has granted me a boon of pets before I don't have time to go hunting for them.

Cheers Swiftsniper, look forward to seeing those :)

BTW I can't think of a good name for my newly tames Terrorpene. I was thinking Bowser, but its kinda obvious and I also suggested the name for a guildy to use after helping them tame their terrorpene so any Suggestions would be nice, nothing silly though.Something turtle related or fery sounding or Polynesian ( I really like polynesian names etc, including the maori).

Anyway I hope my good fortune rubs off for whoever needs it :)
Good hunting.
