Don Carlos: Fashion + Wolf = Win

Mugungo with Ghost Wolf & Don Carlos' Famous HatA neat new item appeared in Patch 2.4.3: Don Carlos’ Famous Hat.

And while this fashionable hat has been proving popular with all sorts of people, it is especially neat if you are one of those lucky few hunters who managed to tame a ghost wolf.

Mugungo, pictured above, says:

With patch 2.4.3 there is a new item that lets you summon a full sized ghost wolf pet, which goes great with the one that we could briefly tame. Attached is a pic of me and my two ghost wolfs. :)

Empello took it a step further by going all stealthy himself:

I got the Blue Ghost Wolf a few patches ago and the Shaman Ghost Wolf today from heroic Old Hillsbrad. Don Carlos drops “Don Carlos’ Famous Hat”. So anyways I thought you might enjoy the pictures.

Oh yes, we will most certainly enjoy that excellent shot!

Jezpalimu with Ghost Wolf & Don Carlos' Famous HatBut personally I think my favorite picture so far is Jezpalimu wearing the new Haliscan Jacket and Haliscan Pantaloons, pacing down the dusty streets of Orgrimmar, beer mug in hand.

After finally getting [Don Carlos' Famous Hat] and the Haliscan set, I managed to take a sweet screenshot of me with two Ghost Wolf pets out at the same time… Well technically, one’s the Grimtotem Spirit Guide (left), and the other’s the Coyote Spirit summoned by the hat (right).

    Speaking of ghost wolves, I found another “tameable” example of the skin…at least, Beast Lore *says* they’re tameable.

    The Dire Wolves Thrall summons in the Hyjal Summit raid instance are level 73 beasts with the skin. Beast Lore indicates they can be tamed. Unfortunately, they’re friendly to all players, so I don’t think we’ll be able to figure out a way to tame the buggers even come Wrath. Alas.

    @Ansawa: Yes, I saw that too. Thrall and his flippin’ hax. He gets to have ghost wolves and he sets off chain lightning when there’s CC up so that all the priests get eaten by banshees. We’re trying to figure out how to /raidkick him.

    Thrall is the biggest noob in raids/groups. Never wait for mana in old hills and ninja pulls several groups. And when the boss drops a horse mount he ninjas it.

    Yeah. :c I hate healing that part of OHB. “WAIT FOR YOUR DAMN HEALER, THRALL!” I yell, and then he gets someone else in the party killed because he can’t hold aggro on more than one at a time.

    @Arides: We just make him kill the banshees by kiting them up there and feigning death once he engages. >_> <_<

    Drotara: I saw that! And I was actually going to include you in this post but I couldn’t get your page to load today, and I didn’t want to further stress your server if it was overloaded.
