How 'bout a new challenge tame for hunters

Community General Discussion

you know, just for grins and giggles. Can we get a challenge pet to tame, like a jiglesworth sr (had to spell wrong because of profanity filter?) type cat before the end of the expansion? maybe the hunter can choose the color like how it was set up for class hall mounts (hunters could also tame those beasts and choose whichever color they wanted). or let it color change like a few rare pets did back in the day. it could be like the battle pet shadow, every 45 seconds or so a different color spirals out from the center.

or a wolf version, you know, our slobbery bestest boi

I like it. Pet barber-shop and glyphs to increase the option list.

I don’t have a Hunter, but a solo challenge like this sounds like it would be a lot of fun for people.

I like challenges like that. In Warlords there was a special quest to tame Gara. Definitely ups my immersion and lore for hunters.

yo i always thought the coolest thing was hunters having these super unique and rare pets that they had to randomly come across on while doing world quests

Those quillen in MoP where you had to deal with certain mechanics in order to tame them. I have at least two of them. I should go back and get the rest. When Blizz updated all the bear models they created one rare version for each coloration/style. They respawn really fast, so you don’t have to wait forever after someone tamed or killed it.

a lot of people like the challenge tame idea. Rarespawns were fun to get, but no one wants to camp out somewhere for hours on end to get it. The challenge tames were a lot of fun for me. I remember the ones from cata being fun. or the questline for gara someone mentioned above. A little spice for the players is always appreciated. I understand this is a hunter only thing but they could do something for other classes, not just for pets either. polymorph - slime for mages for example. Dks could summon the humanoid slimes, maybe just as a glyph appearance or a cosmetic toy reward working the same way as the warlock one from legion.

There are challenge tames out there if you know where to look and a lot of unique skins or names so you can show off your rare pet. Here are a couple of examples I got for my Hunter:

  • Ivory Cloud Serpent. This is a rare pet to get because it requires a few steps in preparation. First you have to get the Sliver of N’Zoth, which is a toy you get from killing 10 players of the opposite faction in WM while in BfA zones then killing 10 players of the same faction without dying. Once you have this toy, you have to wait for the Mogu assault to be active in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms. Then you go into WM and wait for the serpent to spawn. It’s not always up because people lasso it for the mount it drops, which causes it to despawn.

  • Risen Gargantuan. This is a Horde only tame atm but if you are, taming this guy takes some trickery. I wrote up a guide for it on Wowhead.
