Where Have All My PIctures Gone?

I recently joined google+ even though the last time I tried it, I hated it with the fire of a thousand suns.

I remember seeing a photo album of all my Warcraft pictures when I joined the google+ and asking my husband what it was and why it was public.

I do not recall how to access that album, nor do I recall deleting the album but I guess we did?

But now, EVERY photo from this blog is gone. I am not going to rebuild it, I don't have the patience.

But I will say that once again I am deeply disappointed with this google+ thing and I am not the only one who has lost all of their pictures from their blog.

I am sorry the photos are all gone. I will search for the header photo and try to restore that one.

ZOOKEEPER

I logged in with my Alliance alt this morning at around 7:40am. Qiraji Guardling spawned exactly where I've been camped since March.

Entered the pet battle, UNCOMMON!!! Yay !! Little fucker hits hard! I had my lvl 25 Terrible Turnip and knocked him down to trap level with two hits. Also took the opportunity to level up Lil Bad Wolf.

I came out of the battle and there was another Guardling spawned behind me. So I did the douchey thing and battled it.

Lady Luck smiled down on me - RARE.

I didn't look at the exact coords, somewhere very close to 40,80.

I logged back in to get a screenshot of where he spawned.... and another one spawned within seconds of me standing there. I left it alone. It must've been a poor quality because I saw two players engage battle and leave instantly.

See him fluttering around in the center of the picture? The other one was on the far left where that Scorpid is.

Good luck everyone! Hope you find yours so we can all be ZOOKEEPERS together.

Battle Pet Leveling and Burning Spirits as told by Big Bear Butt

I just love this post from Big Bear Butt !

Sunday Night - Unborn Val'kyr

Sunday night (or Monday morning if you prefer) 12:50 am.

I logged in with my mage to check for the Unborn Val'kyr. Checked the far Northwest corner spot in Sholazar Basin. Nothing. On a whim, I flew to the northern middle spawn spot (same spawn spot as Loque'nahak) tapping my macro along the way.

My macro hit but I didn't see her. I landed. Still didn't see her. I saw her name plate but not her. She was in stealth or in the ground. Anyways, I hit my key bind to "interact with target" and the battle started!

She was up first and went against my lvl 25 squirrel. He hit her gently. She hit back. He hit her again, she hit back. I threw my pristine trap and it missed! She hit again. (please don't kill yourself, little one) I threw my pristine trap again and it snapped shut around her.

She had brought along two squirrel friends. I sent my Gilneas Raven in to take care of both of them.

She was lvl 22 and common, weakened to 20 at capture. Total camp time, less than 5 minutes :)

Beasts of Fable

The quest is given at Shrine of Two Moons, top level.

Defeat the Elite Battle Pets of the Pandaren fables.

Description

Have you ever read the great Pandaren book of fables? Pandaren pass these stories on to their cubs - stories of the cricket and the hawk, or the slow-moving turtle - to teach them lessons that they will find useful in life. What few cubs know is that these creatures exist, here, in Pandaria! Though the stories of their travels are made up, they are powerful denizens of this world. Should you happen upon them in your travels, you may test the might of your pets against their storied statures.

Rewards

Red Panda

So, here's how I did it. It's pretty basic unless the legendary pet was exceptionally difficult. For those, I'll share my strat.
This is the order I defeated the Legendary Beasts of Fable: All of the pets I used are level 25 and of rare quality.

No-No adorable, aquatic otter

Gate of the Setting Sun
Gilnean Raven
Wild Crimson Hatchling
Wind Rider Cub

Lucky Yi cricket critter
The Heartland, Valley of the Four Winds
Flayer Youngling (soloed)

Greyhoof Mushan Calf beast
The Wild Plains, Valley of the Four Winds
Terrible Turnip (use Sons of the Roost)
Wild Crimson Hatchling (use Deep Breath)
Personal World Destroyer (He died....)

Skitterer Xi'A Water Skimmer aquatic
Krasari Falls, Karasang Wilds
Gilnean Raven
Wild Crimson Hatchling
Wind Rider Cub

Dos-Ryga Aquatic fish in a bubble
Inkgill Mere, Kun Lai Summit
Wind Rider Cub
Gilnean Raven
The fish casts a whirlpool and a self heal. Raven's "Call Darkness" took care of him.

Kafi goat beast 
Winter's Blossom, Kun Lai Summit
Terrible Turnip (use Sunlight)
Nether Faerie Dragon (use Arcane Blast, Life Exchange, Moonfire)
Singing Sunflower (use Solar Beam, Inspiring Song, Sunlight)
I found Kafi to be one of the two most difficult. Above are the three pets and talents I successfully used. Your mileage may vary.

Ti'un The Wanderer aquatic tortoise
Townlong Steppes
Gilnean Raven (use Call Darkness, Nocturnal Strike)
Wild Crimson Hatchling (use Healing Flame, Lift-Off)
Wind Rider Cub (use Squawk, Slicing Wind, Flock)

Gorespine hedgehog beast
Dread Wastes
Terrible Turnip
Nether Faerie Dragon
Wild Crimson Hatchling
 Turnip goes first, Sunlight, Leech Seed, swap pet
 Faerie Dragon- Life Exchange, Moonfire, swap pet
 Crimson Hatchling- Heal, Lift-Off, Breath, swap pet
 Faerie Dragon- Life Exchange, Moonfire, swap pet
 Turnip - Leech Seed
 *Gorespine dies*
I found Gorespine to be the most difficult to defeat.

Ka'wi The Gorger  critter grub
Fox Grove, Jade Forest
Arctic Fox Kit
Flayer Youngling
Cinder Kitten

Here he is, the last legendary Beast of Fable -
Nitun critter Tanuki
The Jade Forest
Arctic Fox Kit
Flayer Youngling
Cinder Kitten

No fireworks, no streamers, no achievement, just return to the Shrine of Two Moons, turn in the quest and get your new Red Panda.

 

Isle of Giants - Taming a Dino

It took about an hour of killing Dinomancers before one dropped the book so I could learn how to tame Direhorns.

Then, within the next hour, the book dropped nine more times. It sells for 37 gold and change so at least my repair bill was covered for getting my ass thrown off a cliff by the Papa Direhorns! (they headbutt HARD)

Here's my new pet Direhorn-

And can I just say how incredibly fun it is to put on the Direhorn disguise and stomp around the whole Isle of Giants!!! You can buy it from the vendor at the top of the Isle *if* you can fight your way up there or you can buy some from me, I have them in the auction house :)

Hello, MINFERNAL

I've had my lvl 62 Alliance camped out looking for a Minfernal with zero luck. I'd log in and check every time I entered or exited the game.

On Sunday nights, I stay up late. Late, late, late. On this particular Sunday night, I was nursing a ski injury and half asleep when I decided to check the area for a Minfernal.

There was a lvl 90 Belf hunter taunting my little Worgen. I tried to keep a far distance from the Belf so it was fair for both of us but she insisted on going where I went. Then, she went left to kill Kroshius and I went right up towards the pond.

I killed three rats, looped down around the edge of the pond, killing two toads, flew over the little bridge and *bam* my macro hit on the little Minfernal. He was standing on the edge of a pit looking very lonely. 12:47 am (late Sunday/early Monday)

I have two macros that I use.

One is:
/cleartarget
/tar Minfernal

and the other is a keybind to interact with target.

I ran around mashing these two buttons and got very lucky to be in the right place when he spawned.

There were at least 3 other players hovering high above the ground. I've said it before.... stay on the ground! You will get the battle started faster than those flying every time.

Anyways, Smackwich (Terrible Turnip) used a few Weakening Blows, the Worgen tossed her Pristine Trap and the Minfernal was captured. His two friends were easily defeated.

Minfernal was a common variety level 15 at capture.

That's fine with me, I'll eventually get a Magic Battle Stone and upgrade him.
