I've been waiting for this ever since I first found out there was a thing where we got to name in-game pets, so about a year now. Thank you so much for helping put a tribute in the game to my late guild leader. I haven't found her feline incarnation in the core cities yet, but she looks happy as can be in the grass outside the new tower.
(For what it's worth, I've found that the Chatoyant Elixir doesn't work for me; it says it has to be April 1. I can only use the lens. Maybe the text needs to be changed to reflect that, or is it a glitch and the potion is supposed to be usable anytime?)
You're right about the Elixir - for years I've thought it was usable year-round since it doesn't really do anything that the Lens doesn't, but it was recently pointed out to me that it's still restricted to April Fools. I'd like to clean that up, but it might have to wait until next April Fools' to allow for some safety checks.
I think the cat you're looking for is in Hoelbrak, browsing around the rest area next to the Trading Post.
At this point I'll take the hint, searched across every capital city fairly thoroughly!
Pixel is hanging out at the Serrated Blade Tavern in the Black Citadel!
Congrats to everyone who's found their pet! I'm on the lookout for my cat Pixel!
Let me know if you'd like a hint or if you'd rather enjoy the search!
Are the 2022 Pets in? Has anybody seen a cat named Hamm?
Yes, this is them! Hamm is exploring the south side of the Grand Piazza in Lion's Arch! Make sure you have one of the Chatoyant items active.
Looking for KayleeBear if you can help? :-D
KayleeBear is roaming near the Song Bower in the Grove, on the top level! That's near the Diving Goggles location as an additional landmark.
Every cat this year is also in the hub map of Secrets of the Obscure!
