In the World of Warcraft beta hunter’s combat pets stayed with him almost anytime, even when the hunter was riding his mount. This was changed in one of the earliest patches and since than the pet is disappearing when the hunter mounts and magically appearing again when hunter dismounts.

But than the Patch 3.3.1 came with its wonderful cross-server LFG feature allowing anyone to participate in dungeons runs without any troubles. You can be out in the wild questing or farming while waiting in line for the next instance run. And there the way the bug is revealing itself.

If you were mounted in the moment you’ve been teleported into dungeon, and your pet was alive when you were teleported out of the dungeon back, you will find yourself mounted and your pet will be just right next to you. Not really annoying bug but a great feature for self portrait screenshots. Unfortunately, it won’t work with the flying mounts – only ground ones. You can see me exploiting this bug in the pic for this post about running WoW on nVidia Ion.

Also, if you are holy priest and you’ve died in the dungeon and turned into angel form, when you teleport out of dungeon you will be pretty alive with full health and mana.

I was hunting for this uber parrot since Patch 3.1 hit the servers. It means, since April 2009 – more than half a year! I almost lost any hopes, but suddenly, as it always happens, during the routine circling above the Sholazar Basin, I finally spotted it.

So, Aotona is my most hard to find pet by now. And now the hunt for Skoll begins…

…because Gondria was so easy target for me. I just came to Zul’Drak and tamed her.

Green proto-drake certainly not the rarest flying mount in game, and may be not the most beautiful one. But I got one yesterday and I love him a lot.

Despite its 2% chance to hatch from the Oracle’s mysterious egg, it took just seven or nine (I can’t recall for sure) tries for me. Apparently this blood elf hunter Runningclam is a lucky guy. He’s the one who got Hyacinth Macaw (if you know what I’m talking about) last year.

And no, I’m just a casual player. I have a life, a job and a girlfriend sometimes. And a very little bit of vanity.

And yes, it took me a month to get this ubercatmount.

Got him! This morning at 6:43 CET. Just a few seconds after he has spawned at the “auxiliary” spawn point south of the Dorian’s Outpost.

Runningclam - Ambassador of the Horde

So, I got the Ambassador title after completing the respective achievement at the level 58. Not a lot of questing, just bought and donated a loads of runecloth – it wasn’t too hard.
