New Carrion Bird: Bonepicker
A reader (who didn’t give me a name or server) wrote a few days ago to let me know that the black carrion birds in the Blasted Lands, the Black Slayers, have been renamed. I finally got a chance to run down there this evening and discovered that it’s slightly more interesting than that — some of the Black Slayers remain, but some have been replaced with Bonepickers.
Bonepickers look exactly the same as Black Slayers and, like Black Slayers, do not know any skills when they are tamed. But they occur at levels 49-50 (at least from what I saw), whereas Black Slayers are levels 47-48.
Not an amazing change, but interesting nonetheless. Why would they both putting just a few higher level carrion birds in the Blasted Lands? And when did this happen, anyway?

Don’t know when they happened but I did mention seing some to you a while ago, while on my taming spree! It was item #9 on the list I sent you!
Also, I have the impression of having seen Bonepickers in other places as well instead of the “regular” mobs! For instance, the graveyard-like place near Moonbrook in Westfall, sometimes has skelies some times has bonepickers and those are 18 or such, but checking wowhead, thottbot and allakhazam didn’t validate this memory of mine, so I’m probably wrong! :)
I’m terribly sorry, Someone — I somehow missed that entirely! Wait .. #9? Did you e-mail it or post it? All I see from you is bugs 1-6 and then 10-12 (in either mail or comments — I route comment notifications through GMail so I can search them). Hmm .. I hope it didn’t get junked as spam or something.
Hmmm. Nice thing I numbered them! :)
Don’t recall how, but I’m sure I sent them your way someway (most likely mail). Anyway, here go #7-9:
7) Level 14 spider in Stonetalon is spawned from “opening” some “eggs” but not marked as spawned (?)
8) Can’t find level 22 spider in same zone… From what I read in thott, it appears to also be a summoned one…
9) Blasted Lands, Bonepicker comes in “size” 50 as well…
Did some more research and there’s no Bonepicker listed! However, I am 100% sure I did tame one! A level 50 carrion bird in Blasted Lands. Thinking back, I do recall seing Bonepickers in other places, such as in Westfall near Moonbrook… (although of course not this level!)
Later,
Someone
