Taming of the Beasts: Patch 4.2 Hunter Pet Taming Challenge Gallery

June 29, 2011 By Garwulf 18 Comments

Deth'tilac

Major props to Dashkz of Drakkari for rounding up 7 of the new rares in under two days! Dashkz managed to tame all of the rare lava spiders, plus Skarr and Karkin — all within about 36 hours!

Like… holy s**t… that’s freaking amazing! Not to mention, Drakkari is a medium pop., PvP server.

Here are some nice shots of Skarr sent in by Zanbon of Ner’zhul.

I’ve received plenty of screenshots at this point, so please refer to the forums for any additional screenshot postings or taming tales.

Thanks everyone for sending in so many wonderful pics, along with your great stories and helpful tips!

A Briefing on the Rare Pets in Patch 4.2

June 27, 2011 By Garwulf 64 Comments

As many of you know… Patch 4.2 hits live servers today (06/28/11). The following guide serves as a rundown of the new beasties — where to find them and how to successfully tame them.

There are 10 new taming challenge pets in all. 3 new Spirit Beasts, 5 rare Lava Spiders, and 2 extremely badass looking metallic type pets — Karkin, a liquid metal crab, and Skarr, an obsidian cat. This is sure to keep pet happy hunters busy for some time… I know I’ll be on the hunt for a few of these myself. 🙂

Ahnka, a new Spirit Beast in Patch 4.2I just caught this video by WoWInsider which features one of the 8 new rare pets coming in Patch 4.2. I figured I’d share it. 🙂

A few key points from the Ankha video:

Ankha is a Spirit Beast, so this pet will only be tamable by Beast Masters.

Based on what Mathew said (at 0:18), it sounds like the 8 new pets will all be exotic..?! I’d take that comment with a grain of salt at this point, because I can’t imagine Blizz would force hunters into one spec in order to participate in these taming challenges. Then again… who knows… it is a Beast Mastery sort of undertaking.

Taming Challenges in Patch 4.2

May 31, 2011 By Garwulf 14 Comments

Update – 06/28/11: See this post for an up to date, comprehensive look at all of the taming challenges arriving today in Patch 4.2! Also, be sure to have a look at the user-submitted screenshot gallery.

Look at this interesting bit from the latest 4.2 PTR patch notes…

  • 8 new rare tamable beasts have been added, each of which provides a unique taming challenge. Will you be the first hunter to tame Deth’tilac, the rarest and most powerful of them all? Players will need to progress through the Hyjal Regrowth and Molten Front daily questing areas in order to unlock access to the full gamut of taming challenges.

Hot damn!

I can’t say I’m excited about the daily quest grind, but the unlocking of the new rare pet taming possibilities is very intriguing. I’m hoping that all of these “taming challenges” can be completed solo, or perhaps… have to be completed solo. I like the idea of implementing more feats of strength for solo players.

I have a feeling that Deth’tilac will be one o’ them fancy new lava spiders. I wonder what the others will be..?

Updated Taming Challenge Pet Info:

Here are links to my individual posts about the eight known taming challenge pets.

  • Ankha: Spectral Frostsaber (white)
  • Magria: Spectral Frostsaber (blue)
  • Ban’thalos: Spectral Owl (green)
  • Kirix: Green Lava Spider
  • Solix: Orange Lava Spider
  • Skitterflame: Red Lava Spider
  • Anthriss: Yellow Lava Spider
  • Deth’tilac: Purple Lave Spider

Update – 06/08/11:

Two new rares have just been discovered on the PTR. They are not part of the taming challenge series of pets. Neither are exotic and both of them are very bitchin.

Have a look…

  • Skarr & Karkin
