Gar Jr. wishes you all a safe and happy St. Patty’s Day
I just wanted to post a quick update letting you all know that I’m still around. I know things have been pretty quiet around here, but I do hope to eventually return to a more normal posting schedule – at least a couple of updates per month – as opposed to the one post every few months which has been the case lately. 
While it is safe to assume that I don’t find WoW as engaging as I used to, I still enjoy certain aspects of the game very much. Anyone who’s followed this blog over the years can probably guess what those things are.
That’s right…PvP and taming rare Hunter Pets.

I’ll be the first to admit that my huntering skills could be a bit rusty due to my lack of gametime lately, but…like, holy s**t…I am actually a bit fatigued right now. My kiting muscles are taxed and I think I wore a hole through my mousing surface.
Taming Gumi on the PTR is easily the most difficult taming challenge I’ve ever experienced in the 7 years I’ve been playing a hunter. Those of you that solo-tamed King Krush back in WotLK…that was nothing compared to trying to wrangle this guy. Deth’tilac…pffft! Not even in the same league.
Gumi is a total badass.

3 new Spirit Beasts have been found on the Patch 5.2 PTR – all of them porcupines!
More on this later, but check these new beasties out! Pretty sweet, eh..?!
Hutia
Hutia
Hutia has a green spectral model – similar in color to Ban’thalos.
Degu
Degu
Degu is the first red Spirit Beast!
Gumi
Gumi
Gumi is a spectral blue – similar in color to Arcturis, Ghostcrawler and Karoma.
All of them are regarded as taming challenges – each requiring some type of strategy to tame. Also, each one of them must be reduced to 20% health or below before taming.
- They are all level 90
- They are larger than typical porcupines when tamed
- All 3 look very badass
I’ll have more info on these guys later – including location information and some taming tips.
New Spirit Beasts to play with…finally!
Among the 37 new pet looks added in Patch 5.1, 8 of them are unique-rare ghostly models. Where can you find these phantom beasties, you ask..? Undead country, of course.
All of the new ghostly rares are found in either Tirisfal Glades or the Plaguelands. If you’re into one-of-a-kind-pets – especially translucent ones – then you may want to give this post a read…

Patch 5.1 has brought with it a whole zoo of new rare pets, including some unique rares. One of the most sought after rare pets in Patch 5.1 is this little guy…
Gib the Banana-Hoarder
Who can resist taming a monkey wearing a Fez..? Not I.
Gib can be found lurking in the wilds within the Swamp of Sorrows. To my knowledge, he has only one place where he likes to hang out, which is in a small little alcove at the western edge of the zone (coordinates: 17,47).
