I've slowly been collecting questions and key words that have brought people here via search engines, and it occurred to me that I should just put them all onto one page to refer people to. We'll see if this will end up being useful.

I should add that I'm not bothering to sort them by most frequently asked. And since this is all via the search engines the question hasn't technically been asked either. But we'll just ignore those minor details!

I'm going to clump together all the questions that have the same answer...

And now for something completely different...

Furbolgs do Shattrath

.......We now return you to the FAQ....

...................................................................

...ANSWERS...

(1) FLAMINGO PET:
A long post about taming the pink flamingo can be found HERE, with lots of links. Of course you'll only be able to tame that pet if you're playing a hunter.

...................................................................

(2) TALLSTRIDER DUST CLOUD
The tallstrider dust cloud is a new pet skill that will be coming in a patch before the WotLK expansion. The best way to use dust cloud is to put it in the pet's bar of skills and then turn it off so that you can trigger its use. If you don't set it so that you're the one to trigger it the pet can use it as its running towards a mob rather than using it when it's reached the attack target. Since Dust Cloud "all enemies within 10 yards" you definitely want to be in control of this, as it can aggro multiple things. So keep it clicked "off" in your pet bar, send the tallstrider towards the attack target, and when the pet is in the best position trigger the dust cloud. Remember to turn it off again or it will use it automatically when the cooldown is over.

(3) TURNING SKELETON/SHRINKING WITH NOGGENFOGGER ELIXIR
Turning into a skeleton/shrinking to a small size is done via the Noggenfogger Elixir, which you can only buy after completing a quest chain given in Gadgetzan. Read the full step by step quest info HERE. Tip: use this as a cheap way to breathe underwater (in skeleton form) during those pesky "go to the bottom of the lake/sea/etc." quests.

As far as what reputation is needed to purchase Noggenfogger - just make sure you aren't hated by the goblins. If you decided to get the pirate hat and make friends with The Bloodsail Buccaneers, the goblins in Gadgetzan and other Steamwheedle Cartel locations won't have anything to do with you. More info on pirate reputation can be found in the wow wiki article Bloodsail Buccaneers Reputation Guide And since Noggenfogger is soulbound that means no sharing, so you're really out of luck. (But you can always enjoy your Noggenfogger on an alt!)

...................................................................

(4) LARGER PETS WITH BISCUITS
Only non combat pets (meaning not hunter pets) can eat the biscuits! Read all about enlarging your pet HERE.

...................................................................

(5) FURBLOG TRANSFORMATION
It's a long quest chain, and unfortunately only available to Alliance at the moment. As long as you don't turn in the wand in the final portion of the quest you can continue transforming into a furblog - even if you abandon the rest of the quest. There's a long, loooong, post HERE, with lots of (hopefully) helpful images and maps to guide you. Also if you lose the wand during the quest (accidentally destroyed, lost, etc.) you can return to Raene and see if she will replace it.

And yes, hunters can turn into furblog:

Beta: Robot Helper and Furblog

Oh and it's perfectly alright to get rid of Teronis' journal. Lots of people worry about tossing it out, but its main purpose is just to give you more background information. You won't have to give it to anyone or use it in any way.

...................................................................

(6) BUBBLE QUEST/MAGNETO SPHERE
The Blades Edge Mountain Bubble Quest in question is called Ride the Lightning. Screenshots of the Repolarized Magneto Sphere HERE. And here're some furblogs in those bubbles, which can no longer be used anywhere except Blades Edge Mountains.

Furbolg Bubble!

...................................................................

(7) LOSING THE TAMING STICK
I assume you're a level 10 hunter trying to do the quest chain that the hunter trainer sends you on to tame three different pets. Once completed you will then receive the ability to tame your own pets. If you lose the taming rod or fail to tame the pet - go back to the trainer. Look in your quest log and make sure you've abandoned the quest - then the trainer should have the quest for you again. And when in doubt - bookmark Petopia and search for the answer there, or ask in the forums!

...................................................................

(8) POO QUESTS IN WARCRAFT
There are WAY too many poo quests in this game. No idea why, but apparently it's so beloved by Blizzard that they just can't stop making quests involving poo. And since it's a quest item - it's sparkly poo.

Poo Quest in Nagrand

So far these are the poo quests I've found within the game. Please let me know if you find others, especially if there are any Horde only quests I've missed. And no, I'm not really sure how I got to be the one trying to document all the poo references...

Outlands Trilogy of Poo Quests:
* Hellfire Poo Quest
* Zangermarsh Poo Quest
* Nagrand Poo Quest

Wrath of the Lich King Beta Poo Quests:
* Lupus Pupus, Location: Scalding Pools, Borean Tundra
* Doing Your Duty, Location: Amberpine Lodge, western Grizzly Hills.

...................................................................

(9) DAMP DIARY PAGES
You can fish up Damp Diary pages from Azeroth's oceans. It once made me crazy that I couldn't easily collect them all to piece the story together. Ah, but those were the days before Thottbot and Wowhead! So I gathered the content of the Damp Diary pages HERE. And sadly, though I have searched I have never found any evidence of the banana tribe.

...................................................................

(10) THANDOL SPAN/SULLY BALLOO/FOGGY MACKREEL
These quests are in the same area and generate a lot of questions due to the difficulty of getting to MacKreel, and the hidden Sully Balloo quest. Information about them both HERE.

...................................................................

(11) WOLF'S HEAD HELM
Both Horde and Alliance are able to obtain this helm after completing a quest chain. More information HERE.

...................................................................

(12) HOW TO TAKE SCREENSHOTS IN WOW
Read my helpful (I hope) post about how to take screenshots in Warcraft HERE.

...................................................................

(13) SEWER BEAST
It's no myth - there is a Sewer Beast that spawns in the Stormwind Canals! Unfortunately for hunters looking to tame him he doesn't spawn in the same spot every time. Read about him HERE.

...................................................................

(14) CROCKOLISKS IN THE CITY
Those baby crocolisk pets that you've been seeing around town are actually fished up in one of the daily quests - specifically the one called Crocolisks in the City. Since there are four other fishing daily quests that rotate, you never know when this one will pop up. Happily you won't have to have a high skill level to fish in Stormwind or Ogrimmar - you can fish there at level 1 (reference: Zone Fishing Skill), although it won't be until level 75 that the message "your fish got away!" will stop mocking you. (Which is why you should use a lure!) You do have to be level 70 to get the daily fishing quest from Old Man Barlo (that link shows his location). Croc pet will appear inside the quest reward - the Bag of Fishing Treasures that Barlo will give you. If you're very lucky.

...................................................................

(15) TAMING THE KURKEN
The Kurken is a level 12 creature that spawns in a cave on Azuremyst Isle. (Map here and here.) Killing it is part of a quest so it respawns fairly quickly. In the WotLK Beta the Kurken became tamable and is considered a core hound.

WotLK beta: Kurken, Login Screen
Core hounds are smaller than this now - this was the larger version in beta.

Because level 70 hunters (in Beta and after Patch 3) that tame lower level creatures will see them automatically level to 65 once tamed, the Kurken is a core hound that's easy to aquire. Though Horde players will have quite a journey to get to Azuremyst.

For more screenshots of Kurken and hunters who tamed him in Beta try HERE.

...................................................................

(16) CHARACTER AUDITOR
The Be Imba! Character Auditor will give gear suggestions for any level 70 World of Warcraft character. A very useful resource.

...................................................................

(17) WotLK LOADING SCREEN
I'm particularly fond of the loading screens myself.

WOTLK Loading Screen Beta Login Screen

WOLK Load Screen Loading Screen Art

Clicking the smaller image will take you to Flickr where you can look at larger versions.

...................................................................

(18) KITING VAREDIS
While I can't tell you specifically how to kite Varedis, here's the wow wiki page on kiting, and here's a post with screenshots of Varedis in Shattrath.

...................................................................

(19) MURLOC COSTUME
The murloc costume was given to attendees of Blizcon 2007. You were given a code and after you used it your character was given a murloc suit, which was soulbound. Strangely even when I explain this to other players they will often ask me to give them the code. Which has obviously already been used (and therefore is useless) since I'm standing there talking to them in game while wearing the murloc suit.

(20) HOOHA AND THE AUTHOR
Ok, I'm going to have to ponder the whole hooha saga and how much to natter on about. For info about me and what the heck I'm doing here, go HERE. And I admit it - I have too many alts.
