The Rares of Classic WoW

[@miskee11]

I once sold Broken Tooth to a hunter in Classic. I literally just randomly came across him and decided to pull him somewhere safe and see if anyone needs to tame him. I ended up walljumping somewhere very safe, polymorphing him and hitting the general chat with a "wts broken tooth guaranteed tame" and someone actually whispered! I didn't name a price, I just invited them and told them to come to me. When he was close, I jumped down and he immediately went for the tame and thanked me, and I just said "np" still not asking for anything. Then he opened trade and slapped a 100 gold there and hit accept. I of course accepted, and being a level 40-50 mage or something, this was a pretty decent paycheck for me at the time.

[@CallMeMimi27]

what a cool guy you're. that hunter probably still remembers it.

[@maxuli21]

I killed the spirit beast in Wotlk, 2 minutes later in the zone general chat someone messaged "Paying 5k for loque nahak location" I didn't have the heart to tell them I just killed it.

[@peterkent6250]

id have paid you 200g. Broken tooth was a fucking nightmare to camp! It's BIS pet (fastest attack)

A friend camped Broken Tooth. What a pain. Took her days upon days. At the same time I was happy my pet didn't run off, because I forgot to feed it. As a noob I was the worst hunter possible. Edit: In my defense, I started WoW later than my friends and it was my first online game ever. I just needed some time to learn and adapt^^

TBC has the rarest of all rares. I been playing since 2004, and i've seen pretty much every rare vanilla has, and wotlk and onwards... But there are rares from TBC i've never seen once. Sometimes i think that maybe these "rares" that wowhead and some addons say that exist, may not realy exist at all, or maybe bugged and has never spawned. Some rares of TBC i've only seen once... Like that rare worm in Hellfire Peninsula... I saw it day 1 of TBC, it killed me, and i've never seen it again ever since...

[@TurbotarzanWoW]

I went through the whole of Outland on both my hunter and deathknight in Wotlk classic without meeting a single rare, so i can imagine that!

[@joaocaju3061]

Were you walking over the shaking rocks to see if it spawned? This rare used to have unique dark red shaking rocks, which I believe was bugged and then fixed.

[@josejuanandrade4439]

@@joaocaju3061 Yes. In fact the one time i saw him, i went back almost right away and it was gone. Later i tried finding it many times. The circle of rumbling rocks was also bigger then the other worms, so every time i saw 1 that seemed bigger i'd check. I also camped other rares, just because i was obsesed with the fact i've never seen them, like the one in the pools of Aggonar. there's suppoused to exist a rare there, but i've quested and spent so many hours in that site hoping to see him with no luck.

[@Blue.Diesel]

Its possible that rares in remakes of TBC are harder to spot. I heard that when a new layer is created, it starts the rare spawn timer, so unless a layer is around for ex 36 hours, some rares never spawn.

[@Goldeneye3336]

your memory is not perfect. I'v elearned this. Being one of the smartest wow player around, don,t rely on memoryu.

[@violetlight1548]

Anyone who *kills* Loque'nahak instead of letting a hunter tame him is a monster. I only found him on my hunter in Wrath because I logged on on Christmas Day! He's in my stable to this day -- my Xmas gift from Blizz ^^ My favourite Classic rare is Death Flayer. This black and red level 11 scorpid in Durotar doesn't look much different from the Corrupted Scorpids found in the same zone, but when tamed, he already knows Claw 2 and Scorpid Poison 1, and his attack speed is higher than any other scorpid at 1.6, almost as fast as a cat. He's an awesome first pet for Horde players!

[@Oscar-ds2vb]

I was leveling my hunter alt in scholazar when some guy whispered me about him saying i should come tame this rare beast and I was sceptical at first because I didnt know how rare it was. and i went over there and tamed him without realizing how rare he is. still have him today all these years later.

Anytime I see a rare hunter pet I will go out of my way to kill it. Hunters should play a real class.

Yeah definitely remember camping for broken tooth, took me a few days and then I got it after waiting hours in that desert.

Pet normalization made hunter pet way less intresting and unique.

[@Goldeneye3336]

[@morganfreeman5260]

@@Blue.Diesel”way less interesting and unique” it literally made it so there wasn’t a factual best pet. why would you want every single hunter in your mmo using the exact same animal??

[@morganfreeman5260]

@@Blue.Dieselyou’re a complete rtard if you actually think them changing broken tooth to not be the best pet was a bad idea. it made it so there was a POINT to the other pets. if there was a single pet every single hunter can have, it doesn’t really feel like a massive multiplayer online game.

[@morganfreeman5260]

@@Blue.Dieseland you clearly don’t understand what unique means. them changing it made each pet more unique dumbass

[@-Sunny--]

Got the Deathmaw with my hunter back in the days... I will remember that moment crystal clear to my death

[@jamesg9468]

Interesting that they kept the Wildhammer faction, but removed the Revantusk Tribe faction for the Horde. The NPCs still exist and are friendly to the Horde, but I'm certain in early Vanilla they had their own faction and you could farm rep with them.

[@stevewright6632]

Yeah wild hammer was content that was cut from vanilla, blizzard did remove it for BC or Wrath because they were bringing it back for Cata

[@violetlight1548]

Turtle WoW brings back the Wildhammer Clan and Reventusk Tribe as grindable rep factions. You can earn the ability to purchase mounts from each (bears from the Reventusk, gryphons from the Wildhammers, even if they still can't fly because Vanilla), and you can make your player troll characters forest-troll green or your dwarves with tattoos, to roleplay as these factions.

[@johnnyborbon5085]

There's also a horde patrol roaming loch modan similar to the alliance one in the barrens

[@TurbotarzanWoW]

For some reason, they were never classified as elite, unlike their alliance counterpart. Possibly by mistanke, as they have almost the same purpose

[@TomasDavmy]

keep it up man, awesome video as always

[@PanoptesDreams]

My first rare was in WotLK. It was some turtle in The Badlands and he dropped a Turtle Shield, I'm still hunting for this Turtle to this day. I think his habitat was messed up in Cata.

[@falkschmitz4184]

My most hated rare is a vulture in the Badlands. About 8 levels above the others in the area. It's knocked me out more than once.

[@ScootieXP]

Back in Vanilla, I hunted for the naga Prince Nazjak for quite a few weeks. I killed thousands of naga in the region but I never saw him spawn once. I think later on when I was in the vicinity I remembered and took a dive in and saw him but no drop for the Tidal Charm. After a month or so of constant daily farming I gave up. Mind you, I was clearing the area during the day when noone was around to tag him.

[@mitchconner2021]

My biggest acheivement in 2019 classic was taming Humar the Pridelord. Waited for days in that tree and ruined my leveling speed but I didnt want him very much lower than me. I still have him on my Cata classic Hunter :)

[@dariogut9113]

When we were running Deadmines the add on said a rare spawn was nearby when approaching van cleef

[@Grazzhopper]

Love your videos, I've been watching them every once in a while over the last few weeks.

[@TurbotarzanWoW]

Thanks a lot, there will be more!

[@Syzyro]

Do you take video requests? I would love to see a videoguide on How to get another faction’s mount at 40. Lovely video btw

[@TurbotarzanWoW]

I appreciate all suggestions :) although im not big on guides To my knowledge, there isnt a way to get exalted with another race capital before level 50 (when runecloth turnins become available) - but it technically was in the first months of WoWs lifetime, as some npc kills gave faction experience. Rivern Frostwind from Winterspring is one such example. The few npcs that had this interaction gradually lost it, and in 1.7 onwards no npcs gave faction rep when killed

[@plummet3860]

turn in cloth get rep buy mount nothing special about it

[@mdg8919]

another superb video, you dont miss!!!!!

[@yanfr0818]

So in TBC they changed the icon of rare elite to a silver winged dragon? Interesting... In my memory rare elite is more like a vanila thing. Most of them appear in vanilla high level zones. I can hardly remember many notable rare elites they added in the later expansion. By design, regular elites should be easily soloable but rare elites are not. Blizzard has always been trying to make the overworld content as soloable as possible.

[@Goldeneye3336]

bydesign elite no soloable. you say bullshit and nonsense.

[@on-hv9co]

Unless the Rare Elite thing is a known bug, another possible explanation is the items they drop. Both Van Cleef and the Quilboar drop some pretty good items for the level. Wow Edit has (had?) rules in it when making items about item level and stat allocation. Possibly making certain mobs rare elities gave the engine enough "headroom" to allow for those mobs to drop items which required such high item levels

[@ebossnz6838]

Broken tooth is alot more common imo. Never had issues taming him. See him quite often

[@rph8704]

I never knew about Duggan Wildhammer existing

[@oJackOfSpades]

Damage regardless of atk speed has always been normalized on pet classes. Meaning all cats deal the same dmg. Only time a pet could deal more dmg due to atk speed was if they had some kind of proc mechanic which was possible on bm hunters.. but no1 raided as bm. The strongest pet was actually king bangalash. He had a passive that was retained after taming. So he delt slightly more dmg than any other cat baseline. The overall best pet for pvp and my personal favourite, even though it doesnt look like much, is the carrion bird named spite flayer from blasted lands. This bird has the regular wolf/carrionbird stats, but it has 1.2 atk speed and the screech spell. These birds are insanely strong in PvP and pve since you can spend more points into resistances instead of health and armor because their armor scaling is already good. PLUS this bird can learn both claw and bite. Generally if you go PvP, claw is better but in pvp it might even be bite. Regardless.. one of the best pets in the game that most have never heard of

[@nikosantos1172]

instead of taking quests from rares they should just add a turn in for each of them, like in blasted lands

[@puszujtowera]

Always loved searching for rares, but started with TBC. I am pretty sure I was the first person in the world to get the Bloody Rare and Frostbitten achievements.

[@BegToDiffer99]

Brilliant as usual, thank you.

[@Blackread]

There are also 4 "rare" bosses in BRD who have a 100 % spawn rate.

[@jamesg9468]

Also looking at the end of the video, let's take a moment to appreciate the madness of the Defias ship at the end of the Deadmines. There is no way that would be seaworthy, lol. xD I'm beginning to think that Stormwind were right not to pay the stonemasons, if all their craft are as shoddy as that!
