Red Drake

Today Jagwyr reached Exalted with the Wyrmrest Accord, and finally she has her Red Drake! Hmm, now he just needs a name...

Maly 25 Cleared

Risen from the Ashes cleared Malygos 25 on Saturday. There's Phasers with Alexstraza!

I died during the early moments of Phase 3 when I didn't get my shield up in time and Maly exploded me.

The most amazing ride...

The most wonderful glitch in the history of WoW. I rode my tiger mount through the portal from Dalaran to Org... and when I arrived in Org, Kitteh was there alongside me. I did a double-take, because at first when I saw her transulcent glow, I figured that a different hunter with the same pet had gone through the portal at the same time I did. But no, that's me, on my mount... with my pet running alongside.

We went for a fantastic ride together. I would be in complete heaven if only Blizz made it possible for hunter pets to stay out while mounted. Both my amazing tigers at once... it was beautiful!

Kitteh Kitteh

Ohai now has a beautiful new Spirit Beast friend. Her name is Kitteh. :)

42!

At long last, my quest is complete! Today I made the Warcraftpets.com Top 50 Collections list. I picked up Willy and Egbert, which moved me from 91 pets up to 93 and earned me a spot on the list! #42, baby!

(Note... there are currently over 40,200 player collections on warcraftpets.com. Which gives an idea of the achievement that is being on the Top 50 list. :)

O hai!

3 days ago... Jag dings 76! I head straight for Sholazar. Might as well keep an eye out for Loque'nahak, the fabled and wondrous Spirit Beast, while I'm leveling. But I'm not gonna camp him... nope... I just install an addon to track rare elites, and go about my business. I still can't fly, and checking the spawn points on my ground mount just isn't gonna cut it. Not for a cat that's rumored to spawn every 6-10 hours, shares a timer with other elites in the zone, has 6 different spawn points, and is notoriously camped by hunters. ... Riiiiight ... of course, once I'm out there, I can't help myself. It's like I have some kind of compulsion. I start doing laps around Sholazar on my tiger, hitting the spawn points. I continue to quest.. but anytime I'm anywhere near ("near") a spawn point, I divert to check it. I nearly have a heart attack because the first time I approached I spawn point, my addon fired off like crazy... LOQUE FOUND... but it can't distinguish between the wild animal or a tamed hunter pet, and to my horrible disappointment, this one was tamed. It was still named the default "Spirit Beast," and the hunter was running around the spawn point slaughtering random gorillas, so I figured I had just missed my chance. Later, I notice the pet is level 80, which means it wasn't tamed anytime recently... and this hunter seems to practically LIVE in Sholazar killing gorillas. Oh well. Quest, quest, quest... the sooner I get to 77, the sooner I can start flying between spawn points. That night, I dream about searching for Loque. In my head, I circle around and around and around the basin in my dreams... I camp the spawn points... I search and search, nothing.

2 days ago... Jag dings 77! I can fly! Around and around I go, several times throughout the day, but I'm too busy to spend a ton of time at it. I just check now and again, knowing that probably won't be good enough to actually catch him, but what the heck. Last night, I dream of hunting Loque again, but in this dream, I find and tame him easily. I wake up sad, knowing that it was a dream.

Today... I'm busy most of the day. I stop home for a brief time this afternoon. I don't have long, but what the heck, I log in and fly around the basin once. Then I dawdle near one of the spawn points while I do other things and get ready to leave, glancing at the screen occasionally. ... BAM. What's that white thing down there by the gorillas? OMG, it's a cat. OMG, it's Loque. Heart is racing, panic, dizzy. Execute series of moves I've read about and memorized... shoot to tag, Esc to stop shooting, drop Freeze trap, abandon pet, ... tame? where's the tame button? I put it front and center on my action bar, right next to the trap, ready to go... But I'm panicing so bad that I can't find it. OH, there it is! Tame, tame, tame... Trap breaks before I'm done, Loque gets a few good swings at me, and then he's MINE. <3

I was figuring this would take at least several days/dozens of hours of dedicated camping. Some hunters have been at it for weeks, or longer. Jag just has all the luck with cats! The cats find her.

His name is Ohai.

Phasers to maximum!

Phasers got her Bronze Drake from timed Heroic CoS - his name is Worf. She also earned her Ambassador title! She maxed out mining and leveled up Engineering to get her awesome goggles, as well as Lil' Smoky and the Pet Bombling, which I farmed up from Gnomer the first day after the patch. Ambassador Phasers has been raiding Naxx and OS 25 on a regular basis with a raid alliance, and is decked out with T7.5 gear.

Lynxr has been clearing Naxx 10 with WoWCave. I've been hitting the Argent Tournament dailies hard with both characters, since there are many new pets to be had!
