Trouble capturing Elder pet - Guild Wars Forums

Enchanted Warrior · Aug 17, 2006, 08:25 PM // 20:25

I go alone, unarmed, and as soon as a I see and elder animal, and get near (no where near agro circle) it turns red. If I stay way back and mouse over it, WITHOUT clicking, it turns red. Where they nerfed and now we cannot cap them? I'm looking for an Elder white tiger, tried outside jade flats for hours.

One of the monsters charmed it before you could, I think.

Markaedw · Aug 17, 2006, 08:33 PM // 20:33

That happens a lot with the ranger yeti outside of the Boreas Seabed. If you can find out which monster charmed the animal and kill that monster, that releases the pet and you can capture the pet again.

If this is what is happening.

I take my war/Ranger it happens every time so far. If I take my ranger/mes (with pet) it happens but not the mouse over bit.

I think it's a bug, or silent nerf. God forbid we find a way to enjoy the game without sweating bullets.. LOL

You must tame the beast...

Trylo · Aug 17, 2006, 08:56 PM // 20:56

why not just train the pet to elder from lvl 5?

or just kill the master and not the pet like the above poster said...

Enchanted Warrior · Aug 17, 2006, 09:38 PM // 21:38

Killed master and group,(outside Jade Flats),stood and waited half an hour. Pet walked around and stayed a pet. Did not revert back to wild. I doubted it would work, since our own pets do not wander off when we die. Same system must be governing the npc's also.

Update: Well fair is fair, I did not get a tiger white or otherwise, but I did (outta dumb luck) get a lvl 20 black moa bird!!! I saw it as green outside House Zu Heltzer. Clicked charm and figured "no way in hell I'll get it" and damned if I didn't!

xiaotsu · Aug 18, 2006, 12:18 AM // 00:18

You must not look around the forums much O_O Moas have been being captured since the day GW:F was released, lol...dunno if you could in the event, don't think so, but if you could, I'm sure people did...

Enchanted Warrior · Aug 18, 2006, 01:17 AM // 01:17

BLACK MOA LEVEL 20, of course you can get red level 3's. Reading is fundamental

Angelica · Aug 18, 2006, 01:29 AM // 01:29

I got a dire tiger from the yeti outside Boreas Seabed with the help of some guildies.

Yesterday I was just walking with henchies in the same place and after we killed all the yetis there was an elder crane still green

........ Just because I did not wish to get it anymore!
What I mean is that if I was trying to get the crane it would be almost impossible! Believe you me I tried so many times!

Enchanted Warrior, drop your Black Moa. Apparently you've never seen this thread.

Or what I did to get my Dire White Tiger was this: Found a lvl 5 Tiger and attacked it once and had it repeatedly kill me. I don't know if this will won't now with the recent updates.

Smoke · Aug 18, 2006, 01:56 AM // 01:56

Black Moas have been around (always level 20), since the Factions PvE preview. I captured one at the event, and I currently have one today.

If the party leader (?) has already done the quest, the black moa spawns everytime you enter Ferndale. This means anyone can capture the animal without ever having to do the quest.

Thx for clearing that up for me kam

Enchanted Warrior · Aug 18, 2006, 02:21 AM // 02:21

Yes I have done "Beak of darkness" Feet still hurt from all the walking lol My reference to red moas is from my prohpecies days. They are all over Ascalon. Anyway I like the spiked collars on the Moa lol

Yeah, reading is fundamental, that explains why you thought I was talking about the old red ones, right? Of course I knew you could get black moas, and I knew they were at level 20, you'd think you would've known which games I was talking about when I said "event"...since the "beta" for Prophecies wasn't an "event"....You were the only one talking about the old red ones...

As you said, reading is fundamental.

Beats me why people feel they have to give someone a hard time when they post. Guess kids are bored these days.

Dude you were the one starting the bad vibe with "reading is fundamental" (and then at the same time being wrong).

So chill
