First, I’m aware it is a bug. However, the fact it happens means it’s completely possible coding wise.
For those unaware, there is a rare bee in the Isle of Dorn named Tephratennae.
However, it is bugged, in that despite being a Wasp, a non-exotic family, Tephratennae is labeled Exotic. And as such, although Marksman and Survival can tame Exotic pets, we cannot use them.
With this specific rare though, there’s an extra layer to the bug.
You tame the rare as MM/SV and it’s added to your Call Pet slots. But the rare does not despawn. It simply continues to exist. You can even tame it a second time or third time if you want. (However, again, as MM/SV can’t use exotics, you need to get to a stable master to put it away, or switch to BM to use it)
Can we get all rares that have loot drops to act like this? That if a hunter tames it, it does not despawn, it simply gives the hunter the pet, and allows others to kill the rare for loot?
