I’ve been collecting rares in the game for as long as I can remember. It all began with a shot of Rak’shiri in Winterspring. I can’t quite remember why I asked Huga to take a shot of him. I think I was wanting to tame him as a pet at the time and thought it would be cool to start a collection of all the rares in the game.
This has to be one of my all-time favourite rare shots
Divine Aegis, FTW!
I always try to get a great action shot, hopefully while they are displaying what is unique about themselves whether it be a spell or whatnot. This quite often involved Coolidge getting smacked around by something while I stood back and got that perfect shot.
If only you could tame one of these as a hunter
Navimie and I even shared a collection at one time, but over the years and several computers later, I’ve had to rebuild my collection. That’s why you’ll find a pretty varied collection in the quality of shots and dimensions over the years.
Some rares have even changed in Cata. One that comes to mind is Snarlflare, a whelp I found in Redridge Mountains years ago. However, after patch 4.0.6, he’s all grown up and a full-sized black drake found on the other side of Lake Everstill.
I have a good number of them already but with new ones being added all the time, I’m not sure how many I would have in total. Most are from a Horde perspective; however, some are from an Alliance POV, when I’ve been on one of my alts.
Something about this creature seems familiar
Now you see him, now you dont…
390 rares and counting…
Oh I want to see Ghostcrawler! The number of people who see him and then tell me they were trying to kill him annoys me. I just want to see him and take a picture! Love the pics Cym, as you know I would :)
Mazzranache is one of my favorite low level hunter pets. It goes so well with the little mulgore hatchling pet, and come valentines this year we’ll get a matching mount woooo!!! ^-^
Anywho, I just wanted to stop by and say I love the blog Cymre. Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much for stopping by and the lovely comment. I didn’t know that about the mount. I’ve always been a fan of the new pets and mounts :P
