Talk:Tuskarr

User TuskarR, how do you know they're shamanistic ?--K ) (talk) 05:11, 2 November 2006 (EST)

Penguins my rear end

Tuskarr do not raise penguins. Tuskarr do not tame penguins. Tuskarr do not farm penguins

Tuskarr have NO dealings with penguins and those two quotes are grade A made up rubbish. Instead, I've replaced that rubbish with some verifiable information from Lands of Mystery about how the Tuskarr assume that someone who can fish is a highly moral person

You find the source of this penguin stuff? Tell me, then we can argue about how it didn't appear in Lands of Mystery --Mecheon 20:19, 10 November 2006 (EST)

In a WC III TFT Mission featuring the above-named Tuskarr, there's a big enclosure full of penguins. I can even take a screenshot for you if you wish. That's the only material proof for that speculation which seems a bit stupid, let alone they helped the Alliance (they were mercenaries).--K ) (talk) 05:12, 11 November 2006 (EST)

Hmm, can't say I remember that one. But it appears to be considerably retconned out of here. And entirely agreeing on the Alliance comment, Tuskarr are probably about as neutral as the Pandaren. Speaking of which, I'm gonna head over there as a just in case precaution seeing as I've already had to deal with some comments about them and Alliance race on Wikipedia --Mecheon 02:51, 13 November 2006 (EST)

If you have evidence that at least some tuskarr pen up penguins according to warcraft III then I have no reason for that info not to be in the article. However the comment needs to be qualified, with "some" or "a few" rather than implying that all tuskarr breed penguins, as the majority are into fishing. Tuskarr also farm a bit as well-Baggins 09:55, 13 November 2006 (EST)

Northrend Expansion Race?

If the Lich King were to start attacking the lands to the south of Northrend and the continent's inhabitants than perhaps the Tuskarr would send emmisaries to the south and be repelled by the night elves seeing them as barbaric and so the horde akes them in.Starting area in Stonetalon Mountains?(Really high up)(Area not used nearby)

If any race was to have a starting zone in Stonetalon, it would be the Pandaren. That is doubtful, but much more possible then the Tuskarr leaving their villages and moving into a hotly contested territory. That reserved space may be used as a neutral port to Pandaria.

Tuskarr would likely start in Northrend itself. But it may be morelikly they will stay a neutral and unplayable race, they lack the following Pandarens carry, and everyone knows the Goblins will be playable horde with either the next expansion or the one after. The Horde needs engineers something bad.

Back to Tuskarr, No one has every heard of them out side of this Wiki. If that were to change then it would be awesome, They would add a lot of Cultural interest, just like the BE and Draenei did. (I love Blizz for that choice. XD) they would include an expansion to fishing and likely frost resist gear.

As for which side they would (maybe) side with, hwo knows, they don’t seem to have any standing with any race. With the encampment of Dwarves stuck there in the Northrend, maybe the Tuskarr would just fall into the Horde. The Alliance would find their old Dwarven friends and be happy. The Horde seems to be decent fishermen….-Rush 1:16, January 30 2007 (EST)

IF it is the expansion race would someone mind to remove the non-WoW classes from the class list?Since I'm not sure how... I mean...there is no Healer class and i doubt there will ever be one named like that. --Pimmeh 04:42, 20 April 2007 (EDT)

Warcraft RPG. It's a 'general term' for classes like Shaman, Priest, Druid, and Witch Doctor. --Super Bhaal 22:57, 6 May 2007 (EDT)

Actually, healer is more of an unspecialized class, for someone who wants various spells from different domains but doesn't want to specialize into more specific Shaman, Priest, Druid, and Witch Doctor, etc classes. The specialized classes are healers, but not all healers are specialized classes. In anycase, RPG classes get mentioned due to "lore" reasons, as well as WC3 connections as well.Baggins 16:53, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

I think Tuskarr will be on some island off the coast of Northrend (they got attacked by the Scourge and then ran away), while Nerubians will be underground in Northrend (the Scourge there would be low-leveled, and there would be beast enemies like spiders and humanoid enemies like Faceless). Saimdusan 01:20, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Hm but the map doesnt show any islands, does it? It is highly doubtful that the Tuskarr will be the new Horde race. I said Horde because alliance is out of the question. --Pimmeh 20:52, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

What makes Alliance "out of the question"? I can't see them joining either faction, although it would be funny seeing a fishing competition between the collective leaders with the winner getting to buddy up with the tuskarr. If anything, the Tuskarr will be a neutral NPC race like goblins and have nothing but fishing vendors and killable mobs that drop ultra fishing enchants. And buckets. WotLK discussion said there aren't going to be new races. D: --Super Bhaal 21:16, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

I don't think there will be any buckets. They were already stolen. -Gilmat

It has already been officially stated that Garrosh formed a friendship/alliance with them, indicating that they are the Mag'har equivalent in WotLK, with the Iron Dwarves probably being the Alliance counterpart.

Its confirmed that Valgarde is a Horde town Zarnks 02:24, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Which is, of course, not what you meant to say ... User:Kirkburn/Sig3 02:33, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

I meant Kaskala. Zarnks 02:37, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

WotLK Picture

As seen here: http://www.wowinsider.com/2007/08/04/blizzcon-day-2-wow-lore-and-quests-panel-liveblog/

The picture is here, it's not much, but it's all we got: http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.wowinsider.com/media/2007/08/img_1561.jpg

Here's what they have to say about the Tuskarr: "Tuskarr - A fun race. They were a joke when designing Frozen Throne. It really took off. It terms of Northrend, there are so many brutal, evil cultures. The Tuskarr serve as a relief. They pick up their villages and travel nomadically along the coastlines. There are a number of Easter Island like carvings that track their travel paths." RogueJedi86 03:18, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Religion

Tuskarr are known to worship various bucket-like icons and relics, as part of their culture. One quest in Northrend, Has you seen my bucket?, revolves around this.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lsrei (talk · contr).

Until this is cited I moved it here. It is a reference tho the 'I has a bucket/no they be stealin my bucket' LOLCAT.--SWM2448 17:18, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Here's the official source about that questline... yes, these are ingame graphics ;)

Awwww. Cuuuute. Do this (Ed: add fake info to the article) again and you're banned. --Ragestorm (talk · contr) 12:54, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

/b/tards? In my WoWWiki? Right on! --Super Bhaal 18:42, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Im not going to dignify that with a response. However, what if they put in the Bucket thing... Cormundo 07:18, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Well then obviously that'll be time to allow it :) User:Kirkburn/Sig3 18:43, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure Blizzard will. Monty Python references, Star Wars references, internet memes...it's only a matter of time before that dude who sends you out on hunts at Thunder Bluff asks you to go to Northrend and find the elusive Longcat. --Super Bhaal 11:01, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Hunting/Fishing

While it's rather obvious that the Tuskarr will have a leatherworking trainer at their village, Baggins' latest update about the fishing made me think. Maybe they'll use the Tuskarr to implement some (more) fishing quests :) Even a repeatable fish turn-in quest would be cool.

Yeah, and there'd be a bucket as a fishing container. :D That would be cool, though, especially if they judged you by your skill in fishing, and made the rewards really worthwhile ( imagine getting some really nice fishing poles or leatherworking/cooking recipes that gave insane buffs ). --Super Bhaal 11:01, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Obviously they'd have to balance it out by giving the Alliance counterpart fishing quests as well... --User:Vorbis/Sig

Alliance had their fishing quests in Westfall, now it's our turn ~ ŋɑϑ 15:15, 26 August 2007 (UTC) (kidding)

Westfall? Don't tell me that fishing at level 80 for Alliance will be confined to a low level zone... ^^ --User:Vorbis/Sig

Again, kidding ;) I'm just a bit pissed at the amount of secondary profession content (quests and recipes) that was put into the low-level zones of the Alliance, compared to the Horde content. ~ ŋɑϑ 09:32, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Would have been cool if they were friendly to both factions, as they once were according to Lore, and you earn rep and loot with them based on fish you bring them, ;). Basically the story goes if you bring them a fish, they are your friend for life, doesn't matter who you are.Baggins 09:34, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

...so, like, if you were Gul'dan and you brought them an oily blackmouth or a Darkshore grouper they'd look past your reputation and be your friend anyways? That's almost as cool as tauren tolerating Forsaken. As for them being friendly with the Horde, I was kind of hoping they owuld be from the moment I learned of them, as awesome as they'd look carrying picks into battle with dwarves and gnomes. However, if this weren't an MMO I could see them giving members of the Alliance at least a chance before jumping on them. --Super Bhaal 11:51, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Female model

Tuskarr Female? "Wanna kiss? *STAB* Oh... sorry, watch the tusks."

I used this a while ago on my fan fiction page. It is better here. :) --SWM2448 00:18, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

I'M FURRY FOR FEMALE TUSKARR. If that's Alizée you put the head on I'm going to cry. --Super Bhaal 00:43, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

CURSE YOU! Your sexual remark about my picture has caused it to gain a deletion vote! I hate you. Pervert. >:( --SWM2448 21:06, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
