I was questing in Felwood tonight when I wrapped up the Grizzly quest and saw and owl that I almost attacked, just for the heck of it. I saw a named creature in my mini-map from my Track Beasts ability. I ran over and saw it was a huge white owl with a yellow combat status. It would have been my first owl kill in Felwood with Hunter. Then I saw purple text appear in my tooltip telling me that he was rare.
Olm the Wise is one of 4 owls/owl-types in the game that has this skin color, according to Petopia.com. I did have to set my rep status to be At War with Cenarian Circle to tame him, but that was no biggie. He went right into my ice block Freezing Trap and I tamed him with only about 10 seconds of getting hit. (location: 55.7, 21.5)
Here are my screenshots. Notice his new name. 42 points for the first person with the reference.
Oh, yeah. Ding 54. 5d 10h 26m /played time.
Nice snag! Gratz on the rare tame! ๐
Btw, awesome name! AMIRITE?!
You’re on the right track, but how did I come about that name?
YA RLY!
Also…there is an NPC called “O’Reely” (found in Booty Bay), one called “Yarly” (found in Undercity), and a white owl called “O’Reilly” (found in Tanaris). And, more recently, in the Caverns of Time there is also an NPC named “Yarley”.
Congratulations, Darcness!
Please stop post Hunter updates…am not back in WoW until October & this does nothing to help me!
LOL! Nice pet & a good size too…not too keen on the smaller looking pets.
Post more… post less…
Geesh! Make up your minds! ๐
Don’t listen to DM post more Post More.
Yea, DM is just pissed that we hunters came tame cool named mobs like your Owl and rename them unlike Warlocks randomly generated name’s for their pets. I would love to see more of the rare beast you can tame and their locations and if you know the spawn times, and even if their are other named tigers besides King Bangalash, SIn’Dall, Shy-Rotam and Rak’Shiri cause with 4 stable slots plus your pet I would ove to see if I am missing any named tiger tames in the game since I Love tigers.
