WoW Hunter Guides, News, Resources and Musings
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…
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).
Those of you who’ve been hard at work tracking down the new rare pets…how have you been managing?
Have you had good fortune?
Are there a few that have been eluding you?
I’ve been pretty lucky so far. I’m 3 for 3 on the new rares I’ve gone after. Not sure who I’ll look for next, but here are the three I’ve tamed so far…
Savage was the first rare I went after, mainly because I like this cat’s model, plus Savage is available to tame at level 85.

Here’s a link to my post about taming Savage.
I went after Stompy because I thought it would be baaad ass to have a goat in my stable. With goats being a new pet type, I had to get one. I like how he bleats when you click on him, too. 🙂

The goat’s cast speed debuff is a nice one to have in your Stampede – mainly for when trying to jam up or dispose of a healer.
I thought it would be fun to hunt for Portent just to see which color I would find. The green version is the one I happened upon.

I haven’t had a chance to use the Quilen’s special ability yet, but I can see the battle res coming in very handy.
So…which of the new rares have you added to your stable? Which ones are you still after?
While doing a bit of leveling last night, I happened upon some Bloody Tracks. Being the pet-crazed hunter that I am, I stopped questing and turned my attention to finding the elusive beast responsible for them. Based on where I found them, I was pretty certain these tracks had been left by Savage, the striped white tiger found in the Jade Forest.
I first noticed the Bloody Tracks in the area where the Jade Tigers are located.
Today I finally sat down and hammered out a new Spirit Beast Guide. The previous one was ridiculously outdated – having only the four Northrend Spirit Beasts listed, along with information about their really cool Spirit Strike ability.
Updating the guide has been on my list for some time, but I kept putting it off due to me knowing it was going to be a mammoth undertaking. I had big plans for it and I hate half-assing things, ya know…
Since today was my “kick back and watch NFL day”, I decided to couch potato it from my desk chair and do a little multitasking in an effort to try and get caught up on things around here. Well I’m happy to say that I hunkered down and banged out what I believe to be is one of my ‘all-time guides’. It’s pretty much a one-stop rough guide to the Spirit Beasts of Azeroth. I hope you like it, and even more so… I hope it helps many of you achieve some successful tames. 🙂
Enjoy!
