So… which pets…

July 14, 2010 By Garwulf 30 Comments

Beast Master

…will you be adding to your stable in Cataclysm?

With the proposed change to stable slots, hunters will now be able to keep a stable of 25 pets. We’ll have 20 slots available via the stable master, plus another 5 (it looks like) in our on-demand stable.

I’m so stoked over this change, I can’t tell you. It’s not that I need 25 pets, I just want to be able to have more than 5.

For example… right now I more or less have a 4 slot stable, because I have one pet, my Grimtotem Spirit Guide, that I’ll never ever get rid of. This leaves me with 4 slots, which is plenty for a lot of hunters, but me… I’m a pet maniac. [Read more…] about So… which pets…

The Patrol For Loque’nahak

March 10, 2009 By Garwulf 113 Comments

When commenting on yesterday’s post about Aotona, one of my readers asked me to share the path I used to patrol for Loque’nahak. Well, because it’s been awhile since I posted on the subject, I decided to throw together an updated map for Fushae and the other folks at home. The new map contains my route, as well as some additional spots you may want to check for other rares in the Basin.

Sholazar Basin Rares and the Loque'nahak Trail

I took my original map of Loque’s spawn points and added King Krush and Aotona to the mix. I can’t confirm or deny, but some people seem to think that the spawn times between the rares are connected in some way. Knowing when the other rares are up or have despawned may help to narrow down possible respawn times.

It is possible, because it just so happened that the time I did manage to find Loque’nahak I was actually waiting for Krush. He had been killed roughly 12 hours earlier, so I decided to return 12 hours later hoping he’d respawn. Instead Loque popped up right in front of me. I thought, ooohhh… bonus! Here’s what happened next.

The Loque’nahak icons on the map represent locations I feel are legit. There may be more, but I can’t put my stamp of approval on those.

The same goes for the King Krush locations. I’ve personally only seen him in 2 places in the basin, but I’ve viewed screenshots that definitely show him by The Maker’s Perch and Nesingwary Camp.

Aotona I’ve only seen twice, and both encounters were in the spot I’ve noted on the map. Wowhead shows additional spawn points, but I dunno. I wasn’t camping Aotona.

So there ya have it. If you’re looking for any of the rare beasties in Sholazar I hope this helps. Also, be sure to mash yer macro when patrolling the area.

/target Aotona
/target King Krush
/target Loque

Rare Finder is a nice addon to have if you’re serious about finding one of these pets or completing the Frostbitten achievement. I’d link to it, but I’m not finding it on Curse or WoWInterface at the moment. I recommend using Wowmatrix for all of your addons anyway, and it’s definitely in there.

Aotona was a good distance away, and only was targeted by my macro for a second, but Rare Finder sounded an alarm and put a message into my chat screen showing what I’d targeted. I quickly circled around until I retargeted her and then went in for the kill. It was me or the parrot. Hunter vs. Macaw in a fight to the death. Polly got no more crackers that evening. 😉 Alright… enough tom-foolery. Go get your pets people!

Aotona Tameable On PTR..?!

March 9, 2009 By Garwulf 5 Comments

AotonaI just read on Mania’s site that Aotona, the rare parrot in Sholazar Basin, is currently tameable on the Patch 3.1 PTR. That would be so cool if this goes live. I won’t have any available stable slots on Garwulf, but it might give me good cause to level up my 58 Dwarf SV Hunter.

I’ve only seen Aotona twice throughout all of my time spent in Sholazar Basin. The first time I killed her (knowing she wasn’t tameable) for the loots and the Northern Exposure achievement, and the second time I happened upon her corpse. This bird is super rareski.

Although I was spending a bit more time near Loque’nahak’s and Krush’s spawn points, I was spamming my macro anytime I was making my rounds past the interior of the Basin, which was quite often. I have seen Loque’nahak a grand total of 3 times, Krush 5 times, but Aotona only twice.

This is truly an awesome looking bird, and would make for a really coveted Hunter pet. For the full story, as well as a post-tame screenshot, visit Mania’s site.
