Track hunting for rare pets is returning in Legion

18 Comments
Do you remember rare pets from Mists of Pandaria such as Portent, Hexapos, and Savage? These pets required you to look for their tracks to hunt them down. We didn't get any new rares like this in Warlords, but it looks like they are returning for Legion! This time, instead of animal tracks … Continue Reading ››

How Blizzard could bring back Hunter pet loyalty

52 Comments
Hunter pets back in vanilla were convoluted by today's standards. You couldnt' simply tame a pet and use it. You had to worry about several things:
  1. Pets did not level up to your level. If you were level 60 and tamed a level 10 pet, you would have to manually level them up. Very slowly, since … Continue Reading ››

What new pets do you want to see?

76 Comments
I've written posts in the same vein as this before (like this Scattered Shots) and I try my best not to sound like a spoiled, entitled hunter. The reality is, we have a crapton of pets to choose from. There's not much reason to beg for more, but hey, Muffinus asked! The same designer responsible … Continue Reading ››

Let’s talk about Pet Collars

8 Comments
How many of you wish you had a oil-stained wolf like the one above? Or maybe a boar that's on fire? Or maybe one of those Icepaw Bears with glowing frosty paws? Tames such as this were only possible though some "clever use of game mechanics" (aka glitching) and they were all eventually fixed by Blizzard. … Continue Reading ››

12 Comments
Hunter @Miacoda discovered this sad and lonely spirit wolf, Gara, apparently keeping vigil at its master's grave in Shadowmoon Valley for Elune knows how long. The interesting thing about Gara is that you can only interact with her if you are in beast mastery spec. Nothing happens yet, but … Continue Reading ››

Exotic pets in Warlords can have up to 3 special abilities or buffs. For example the Core Hound has a … Continue Reading ››

Pet of the Week: Arcturis

8 Comments
Most people think that Loque'nahak is the most difficult spirit beast to tame, but I'd argue that honor goes to Arcturis. At least Loque has multiple spawn points, so you could always get lucky and find him at one of the spawns where no one is currently camping. Arcturis, on the other hand, … Continue Reading ››

Pet of the Week: Chromaggus

6 Comments
There's a lot of hunter art out there, but the above "Taming Chromaggus" piece is, without a doubt, my favorite. Taming raid bosses is a rite of passage for any hunter. It's all the more special if it's a boss you've faced in the past when it was relevant content. Next on the list of … Continue Reading ››

Pet of the Week: Hexapos

3 Comments
Hexapos is the only water strider to use the "white fen strider" skin and in found in the Dread Wastes. Chances are you've flown over this guy without even knowing because he's one of the handful of Mists of Pandaria pets which are invisible until revealed by a hunter's Flare. The … Continue Reading ››
