My new friend! (A Ghostcrawler story)

Unread post by Ambs »

I've spent a number of nights swimming along the path that Ghostcrawler takes in the Abyssal Depths, searching for him. My very first encounter with him a while back, was before I realized he was a lvl 85 beast. I found him, and got so excited and started panicking which made me fumble at the keyboard! I shot at him to get his attention, then clicked on tame beast. "What?! Why isn't it taming? What?! Oh no! Not high enough lvl to tame? Oh, he's 85?! Darn! And wow! I'm now dead..." Needless to say, I was heartbroken at that discovery, and was angry at myself for not researching more on him in advance to find out his lvl.

So the next time I went on WoW, I got to work on leveling to 85. Once I hit the magic number, I returned to the Depths, and would come back there whenever I had the chance, following along, passing by other hunters doing the same thing, but still I didn't run into him again.

Then came tonight, glorious of all nights! I signed on, and was immediately in the Depths as that's where I logged off last. Followed his path once, nothing. Swam around it again. Still nothing. I was ready to move on to something else, but I thought I'd try swimming back the way I came at least one more time. Before I did that, I used a couple critter bites on some little crabs that were near me, because I remember someone else here had posted that they used critter bites on a shale spider by Jadefang and then Jadefang had appeared, so I thought maybe these little guys might bring me some luck!

I started swimming back along the path, and just a little ways down, npc-scan roared to life! He was there! I clicked on him, shot at him, and hit tame beast. He was walloping me very badly, my health was shooting down at an alarming rate, and I was praying that tame beast would finish in time! It did, I saw that little shine animation and he was finally mine! I'm so happy now! Now I just need to think of a good name for him, and I'll be all set!
In the midst of my excitement with the tame, I forgot to take anymore pictures at that time, but I did pose with him in Deepholm.

And for anyone else on the Proudmoore server, I tamed him about 4:18pm server time. I wish those of you looking for him, or any other rare for that matter, the best of luck and all of the luck I had with me tonight! :D

Ty! I was 83 when I first tried taming him, a big oopsy on my part.

And not only did I get Ghostcrawler tonight, but I also got another rare I was looking for. I was checking all around different rare spawn points that I wanted yet, thinking maybe I'd have another stroke of luck. Went up to Northrend, tried Sholazar first for Loque, but nothing there. Then went to Storm Peaks, and the 3rd spawn point, found Skoll! I couldn't believe it! So here he is, I named him Thunderstruk (I would have spelled it correctly, but it was one character too many, so I dropped the "c" lol)

My friend said I should probably get a lottery ticket, lol! After that, I did try looking for Loque again, but my luck apparently ran out, so I called it quits for the night.

Gratz on GC tame. I also tamed him a while back but haven't been using him much as (not sure if its just me) I notice that when you send him in to attack he makes a "roar" like Gondria. Seems a little strange but annoying at the same time. Have you noticed this at all?

I happened to notice that today when I was dinking around with spirit mend. Found some random horde sitting in Org, clicked what I thought was Spirit Mend, but it was Roar of Courage. I was like "WTF MATE, I don't have a cat out!" Then saw that he had RoC. I /facepalm'd and continued on with dinking. <3

Yes, sadly I did notice this! I was working on my jc daily, to get the elemental goo, and I was killing elementals in Twilight Highlands. Almost everytime that ghostcrawler went after an enemy to attack, I heard the unmistakable kitty roar sound. I do hope that Blizzard is aware of this and will come up with a fix for it! It just is rather silly having a roaring spirit crab! :p I still haven't thought of a good name for him, but now I'm thinking of calling him "Kitty" as a joke until this glitch gets fixed.
