Can't Rename Exotic Pet

Hi guys I just tamed the Kurken and I cannot change his name, any idea as to why? I have a clefthoof I changed the name just fine. Is this an exotic pet thing? Or a bug? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Some if not most exotic beats retain their name after taking them. You can check on Petopia which ones do and if there is potentially another model of the same beast that you can change the name of.

Get yourself a Certificate of Ownership off of the AH and use on pet to rename.

Yeah this is what I did. Thank you for the reply!

Bit of a necro here. Im sure I used to just right click on my pet and Rename. When did this stop being a thing and we now need a certificate to change the name?

We get punished so that some crafting profession which no-one wanted to do needed a way to make some gold?

Edit: Just had a look. 130g each ??? This is ridiculous.

literally only applies to rare mobs that have specific names. you can rename 90% of tamed pets

I only collect rare pets so its 100% for me :slight_smile:

I have over 100 but thankfully the bulk of them have already been named.

As a collector of the exotics myself I was annoyed I couldn’t run 2 pets at the same time :

  1. Gondria
  2. Gondria Too

So I opened a ticket and they did the rename for me. Can’t guarantee they’ll do that again though.
