70 #26, Alliance #16, Priest #3. What a great ding screenshot ;P

Uma's been sitting at 68 for a while, because a guildmate thought that you could tame Slurpo(, the Incredible Snail) at 70 if a level 68 summoned it. I was dubious because that's not how mob scaling works, but was willing to try it out for him. A different guildie (who is also infatuated with Slurpo, who is the tenacity pet I most often have out in our raids) was able to try it out and we did in fact confirm that it's not possible, so I was able to safely level her the last two levels. Which I still didn't do for a couple weeks because... I dunno. But she's there now, so there's that! Bonus: she already has the Fields of Ferocity chain done, so if that WQ procs a gold reward next week (when the Dreamsurge is in the Plains), I will be rolling in the dough.

(For a brief period of time at the start of Dragonflight, mob scaling lagged behind your character level a little bit, and as a result there would be periods of time after you leveled where rare elites would be your level instead of two levels above you. I picked up both Slurpo and the Forgotten Gryphon on my main while I was leveling, shortly after which the mob scaling was changed so that they always stayed two levels above you, regardless of when you leveled. This puts Slurpo out of reach of hunters who didn't pick him up in the first week or so until the next expansion comes out and you can hit level 72; there are other blue lava snails available for taming but Slurpo keeps his name and you can't exactly rename one of the other lava snails "Slurpo, the Incredible Snail" lol. I've only seen a couple other folks with a "genuine" Slurpo, though admittedly I rarely have him out while idling in Valdrakken since a ferocity pet is much better for world content and a cunning pet has its uses when running old stuff.)

#xellafail #world of warcraft #alts are hard #I wish they hadn't changed the mob scaling #everyone who wants a slurpo should have access to a slurpo
