A lucky holiday season...... I DON'T BELIEVE IT!!!!
Posted: Wed Jan 05, 2011 7:21 pm
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.
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.
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
