Arathi Highlands - Tamable Rares added in 5.1

When patch 5.1 hit, Arathi Highlands saw the addition of nine new rare beasts. This ups the total number of rares in the zone to a whopping nineteen. You can see the other ten non-tamable rares in this post: Arathi Highlands Rare Spawns.

Every one of these rares can be tamed by hunters in any spec except for the shale spider Glint. Glint is one of only three tamable shale spiders that can be tamed early on before hitting Deepholm. So Beast Mastery spec hunters - that means you can have a shale spider right at level 69.

None of these rares are unique, but as you can see in the screenshots below there are some pretty nice looking ones. I love the coloration on Boros the wasp. This is the lowest level wasp you'll find with this particular look. Phalanax, the black and white beetle, also has a pretty rare skin. You can find him inside the ogre cave in the southern end of the zone.

  1. Oh how lovely that they added the Albino parrot as a rare! It took forever to re-run Deadmines just to get it to spawn -_-

    Also adding this blog to my favorites, helped me our a bunch in the past few days! Kudos!

    1. He is one pretty bird, and sometimes it can be nice to have alternatives. I also thought it was extra appropriate that they've got him spawning in the cove by the pirate ship. =)
