Description

So, you want to be a seasoned cataloger like me? You've come to the right place!

The Wild Preserve is teeming with knowledge waiting to be found and filed! And how do I do that you ask? Why, with my handy Catalog-izer 3000 Dragon Isles edition--now with improved motion capture!

To gain experience, photograph a proto-dragon egg, a whelp learning to fly, and a hunting proto-drake. Meet me at the ancient, proto-dragon skeleton west of here, and I'll assess your photos.

To use the camera, stand where you want to take the photo, and hit the camera icon on the quest list. This will create a beam of light to show where you are aiming the camera. The beam will remain as long as you do not move, aside from rotating. Wait until your subject is in or near the beam and hit the camera button on the alternate interface (should be button 1). It took me a few minutes to figure out how this worked. Good luck.

To complete Amateur Protography you need to take pictures of different proto-dragons.
Use provided [item=192465] to take photo. You just need a requested thing being on the screen.


  • Proto-Dragon Egg - there are a couple of them on the ground. Found one at 45.47 82.23, behind a proto-dragon.

  • Optimistic Whelp learning to fly - can be found near pillars, found some at 43.71 81.02. These guys are small, so look carefully.

  • Hungry Proto-Drake catching a fish - these can be found flying fast along the water. Their routes are circled, so they are easy to locate.

You can also use /tar Hungry Proto and /tar Optimistic Whelp to catch some.
