Rare Pets Galore- also found Magria- Twice!

Well, I tamed Magria the day after getting Ankha on my orc. So, I figured, why not try for Magria on my Night Elf? In the process, I found Ankha again and proceeded to accidently kill her, helped my dad get Ban'thalos, got a fire turtle, got two spiders and a crab I didn't want, got a cat from Firelands I wanted, found Ankha about four more times, helped a new friend get Ban'thalos, and, finally, today, found Magria at 3:00 PM server time (1:00 PM Pacific time).

SO- here are pics and how I tamed each one of these guys.

Let's start with Magria. Like Ankha, she is pretty much get-naked-and-tame. I found her at 11:00 PM server time on Kel, and 3:00 PM server time on Van. DAYS apart.





























Before I proceeded to find Magria on my Alliance hunter, I found two spiders, a crab, a cat, and a turtle, like I said. Also helped sister get the turtle today.

To get the cat and the crab, you need to have access to the Molton Front dailies. Otherwise, the portal there won't work. Just like you need to finish the quests that open the first set of Hyjal dailies to see Ankha, Magria, and Ban'thalos, you need access to the Molton front to get to Skarr, Karkin, and four flame spiders. All of them are tamable hunter pets and only drop a Crystalline Tear of Loyalty, so if you see them and you are not a hunter, LEAVE THEM ALONE. The 25 gold is not worth it.

Karkin (a crab with a gem-like skin) and Skarr (a cat with an obsidian-like skin), like Ankha and Magria, share spawn points. They spawn on rocks in the Firelands that will sometimes crumble underneath you. There are two spots they are in. The good spot, which is easy to use and does not require any jumping, just running through a wall of fire, and the bad spot. Which requires you to jump up a bunch of rocks without falling to your imminant death. I have no idea how I got to Skarr without falling to my death, considering on every practice run I did, I'd fall. Skarr was in the bad spot, Karkin was in the good spot.

You should also note, that for Karkin and Skarr, Karkin seems to spawn more. For Ankha and Magria, Ankha spawns more than her sister and also seems to spawn at the same time as Ban'thalos.

Here are Karkin and Skarr.




























Next, let's look at Deth'tilac (purple flame spider) and Kirix (green flame spider).

I think I got lucky on Kirix. I used a macro that was he following:

EDIT: 8/1/16: Deterrence was removed and replaced with Aspect of the Turtle, that may work the same.

/cast Aspect of the Turtle
/cast tame beast

He almost killed me the first time, but I got him.

Deth'tilac requirres you to kite him around Firelands until he is down to 20% health. At level 100, you can do this without a pet, and yes, he has enough hitpoints so a level 100 can't one-shot him like you can the rest of these guys. If Deth'tilac gets too close to you, he WILL ONE-SHOT YOU. (Yeah, instead of having to worry about one shotting him, you need to worry about him one shotting you, lol). Once he is down to 20% health, you can tame him. It might be a good idea to have Glyph of Tame Beast, as it makes Tame Beast faster. (This may become null in Legion though). EDIT 8/1/16: Glyphs were removed in the Legion pre-patch and are now cosmetic changes. 

Here are Kirix and Deth'tilac.
















Now the fire turtle. Unlike the rest of these guys, Terrorpene is level 81. The rest of these guys are 85. He's also relatively easy at level 100 and is not a challenge at all. Like Deth'tilac, Kirix, Karkin, and Skarr, he is a normal best. So anyone can tame him. This is basically just find a rock in the lava to stand on thats close enough to him, and hit tame beast. This might be harder at lower levels.

Here he is, on both my Horde and Alliance characters.















I have had Ban'thalos on my characters for a while now, but I have since helped two people get this beautiful spirit beast owl. He flies REALLY HIGH up above the Sanctuary of Malorne. A good strategy a lot of people use is getting up on top of a tree close to the sanctuary, throwing down an ice trap, going all the way up, dismount, hit him with Concussive Shot, drop down to the tree, and then tame.

However, at level 100, you will one-shot Banthalos if you do not use a certain macro. The macro is as seen below.

EDIT 8/1/16: The macro below used to be Distracting Shot, but that was removed in the Legion pre-patch. You now need to use Concussive Shot.

EDIT 2: Traps are only for survival hunters now.

/cast Concussive Shot
/stopcasting

Once you have that macro at level 100, you can pretty much do the same strategy as before, without one shotting him. Here are a couple screenshots of him. Yes. I named mine Hedwig after Harry's owl (RIP *cries*)
















Basically, this post just chronicled my entire week after getting Magria on Horde and thinking "Oh, I just need to wait for Ankha to despawn and maybe Magria will appear."
Heh. No. You are very lucky if you get one right after the other. Be prepared to wait days for the other cat, and seeing a lot of Ankha.

If you guys want, you can look up videos for each of these tames, and even guides. There are a ton out there, way too many for me to link, but not many will tell you how to tame Ban'thalos at level 100.

Anyways, thats it for this giant post. Heh. Maybe my next post will be Voidtalon of the Dark Star (which I've aso been farming.). Or some mount from a raid/heroic dungeon. Maybe.
