The Rares of Classic WoW 

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^^

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.

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...

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!

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 :)

keep it up man, awesome video as always

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.

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.

Brilliant as usual, thank you.

They did many changes in compare to the o.g classic in 2004 with classic 2.0 ... the talent trees (inntervate had to be skilled) sadly but the classic which comes out in 2018 (unsure about the right year) were not the same as in 2004 many many changes and it was realy sad for some1 who want to play the O.G classic

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

I never knew about Duggan Wildhammer existing

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.

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

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

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

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

3:34 It's not Lupus

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

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

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

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!

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

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

I kinda forgot rares were a thing

(laughs in Hunter with Son of Hakkar) Yea...I'll take my Wind Serpent with lightning breath rank 6 thanks.

woop woop another video!

Lupos isn't "better" than Broken Tooth. It's better for PvE.
