Red Primal Raptor

Despite the fact that she’s a Blood Elf and I’m the troll, Mooglegem found a Primal Egg in her Shiny Pile of Refuse from Oondasta. We actually didn’t know anything about the egg and decided to look into it. After three days, it hatched. I was expecting a pet, but no, the egg contained the Reins of the Red Primal Raptor!

I looked into it on wowhead and found that the Primal Egg can drop from any Isle of Giants elite, Oondasta’s Shiny Pile of Refuse, LFR’s Treasures of the Thunder King (fail bags), and Spoils of the Thunder King (rewards for Throne of Thunder weekly quests). It’s has a low drop rate but guarantees one of three mounts.

The Red Primal Raptor looks very cool. You can tell how happy Moogle’s raptor is to bond with her. Just look at that big smile! Now I want to head to the Isle of Giants and get farming. I still need a lot of bones.

Congratulations, Mooglegem!

 

Gimme dat mount, Oondasta

Oondasta mount
The other day I hadn’t really intended on playing WoW much. I got online to do something really quick, and my friend and guildmate Zetzu announced that Oondasta was up, and that people were about to engage him. Within minutes, Devee and Mooglegem were standing on the beach of the Isle of Giants.

No one was attacking him. Minutes passed, and people were still arguing and trying to group up. I got distracted and ended up downstairs talking to my roommate. About twenty minutes later, I walked into my room. On Mooglegem’s screen, I see that Oondasta is almost dead. Mooglegem casts one spell, and the spell hits just before Oondasta dies. I didn’t even get to enter combat with Devee.

Of course, Mooglegem gets some loot. I forget what it was now, but after looking at the loot, she used a Mogu Rune of Fate.

Reins of the Cobalt Primordial Direhorn.

Too awesome! I think she looks good on it though, don’t you?

I finally fight Oondasta

Oondasta pulled

I’ve been hoping to fight Oondasta but have always missed it for some reason. This weekend I noticed he was up. [Thank you, Balkoth, for pointing out that Oondasta is a male!] I played Xbox for an hour or two with the game open, continually checking to see if there was a group forming, but there wasn’t. The next day I finally saw people getting together to fight Oondasta. Seeing her approach the edge of the hill to come to the beach to fight us was a joyous occasion!

Oondasta raid frames

While we were waiting to pull, someone decided to organize the raid by class. Once people noticed it was happening, others tried to rearrange it just to stop the organizer. There was a little raid frame war, which was surprisingly fun actually.

Oondasta killed

We had a few wipes, but eventually we killed her! Thank you for the Girdle of Dimorphodontics, Oondasta!

Rohan if it would have been possible to keep PVP and PVE on the same path, using the same gear. It’d be interesting!
