Gnomes Need Not Apply

Obviously I'm not planning on taking my Gnome or Draenei into Orgrimmar to go shopping for the Black Kingsnake pet any time soon. There are pets sold in almost every capitol city, making it difficult for Alliance or Horde characters to collect these pets the easy way. Fortunately, most of these side specific pets wind up at the Auction House for just a couple of gold a piece.

However, there are three race-specific pets, all with spotty availability thanks to the "supply of 1" limit. Why a Worgen could better care for a Gilnean Raven than I could is beyond me. Stupid Will Larsons with your exclusivity!

Sell me a Raven. I see it. Right there.

Let alone a Shore Crawler. It's a crab for goodness sakes. Those things are almost indestructible. Maybe that's why Goblins get them? Then there's the Jade Crane Chick which is cute enough to almost make me want to start a Pandaren.

If you are any of these races, and are looking for a gift for a pet-collector who isn't, think about tracking down the pet that matches your race. The rate of people who have them is super low, and I'm sure that's because not everyone wants to make alts just for one pet. So if your little Gnome or Undead friend loves her pets, consider the Raven.

Family Photos and Holiday Garb

Our guild is having an in game party for Winter's Veil. We actually meet up to party once a month at the Darkmoon Faire where I always bring a couple stack of Deviate Delight (Deviate Fish is farmable in Wailing Caverns, and so worth the fishing time) so anyone who wants can turn into a pirate or a ninja because dressing up is fun and silly. I have decided, though my fellow guild members don't know it yet, that I'm going to make them pose for a classic family photo...err...screenshot.

I have a poorly neglected level 20 alt who happens to be a tailor. But, family photos are not NEARLY as hilarious if people don't have matching outfits. So I logged onto her for the first time in months, and looked to see what I could make.

Turns out there are a surprising number of outfits that are red, green, and white that a tailor under level 100 can create.

So I made several of the following, and plan on wrapping them up, handing them out, then pouting until all the epic gear has been replaced by extremely low level robes and shirts. You know, for the photo.

See how cute she looks in her red robe?

Below is a list of really low level tailoring patterns, all taught by a friendly trainer near you, that will spice up any holiday party:

For the ladies:
Red Linen Robe
Woolen White Dress

For the gentlemen:
Green Linen Shirt
Stylish Red Shirt
Green Woolen Vest
