NPC ID macro for Mists (8/19/12)
Wain discovered that the macro needed to determine the NPC id of NPCs will be changing in Mists of Pandaria. The new one that works is:
/run print(“Target NPC ID:”, tonumber((UnitGUID(“target”)):sub(-13, -9), 16))
WANTED: Corrupted Cranes (8/19/12)
Wain asked if anyone had seen the Corrupted Cranes along the cliffs/foreshore east of the Temple of the Jade Serpent. It turns out that they are linked to the daily The Darkness Among Us and only spawn when that quest is available. Wain noted wryly that of course they were up on the day he posted about them after days of searching.
Where the Wild Things Are (MoP rare information) (8/23/12)
Kalliope updated the rare beast thread with videos for Patrannache and Bloodtooth.
Status of Quilen on the beta (8/23/12)
Wain discovered that when the daily “Stonebound Killers” is available, Stonebound Quilen are available (and tameable) in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms.
Pandaria Beast List (Report found beasts here!) (8/23/12)
Wain confirmed in Thedoomcookie‘s master list thread that the three mobs that spawn in the Valley of the Four Winds during The Great Water Hunt quest - Waterbite Creeper (spider), Toothrow Skulker (crocolisk), and Glade Pincher (crab) – can all be tamed.
PetEmote Addon – New shiny things (8/18/12)
Teigan‘s thread for updating and expanding the PetEmote addon’s pet library grew again with Toph’s new basilisk and dog suggestions and goat, porcupine, and crane ideas from Varethyn.

Skin Swaps! (Owls and parrots that never were… etc.) (8/22/12)
SQUEE WARNING: Wain uses WoW Model Viewer to swap skins onto different models, creating some gorgeous (and some terrifying) hypothetical beast skins. Continuing from last week’s post with the druid kittens, Wain posted the druid bears on one of the bear cub models.
