Butterfly Pets?

Hiya,

I keep seeing people running around with pretty butterflies as pets or, at least, accompanying their toon somehow as they adventure the lands.

I can't find them in the Crown Store and I've keyword searched here and on UESP and can't seem to find any info on them.

Does anyone know where they can be obtained? Are they a quest reward or something?

TIA, xari.

    It's the Ancestor Moth Swarm from the Wild Hunt Crown Crate.

    They were one of the store's incessant limited time sales. I think they're called 'ancestor moth'. UESP is usually good but is missing this one.

    Your only option now to get them is to throw away money on gambling crates and hope you either get lucky or save up enough gems to buy them. I think they're in the current crown crate season which is likely to end in a few months.

    One more thing - they have a history of releasing different coloured versions of pets and mounts in the crown store. So another option for you might to be just wait and watch.

    Chances are decent that they'll sell a different coloured version of these in the crown store (for direct sale) at some point.

    @Nerouyn

    Awesome. Thanks for that info.

    I'm definitely not spending money on Crown Crates, so I'll hope that they do a direct sale of them (or something similar) at some point.

    Thanks again!

    Your mileage may vary, but I am quite sure I would dislike the butterfly pet for the same reason I cannot tolerate the little winged pixie thing pet - they fly around right in your line of sight, blocking your view during combat. I have the same problem with the sorc's winged twilight but at least she tries to earn her keep. Clearly there are plenty of folks who don't share my problem with the flying critters but just something to consider before you spend a bunch a money gambling for a pet.

    The ancestor moth doesn't fly in your field of view, they hang way way back.

    However

    They come with an incessant high pitch whine that gave me a migraine so.......

    Well you can take a listen, it might not be as high pitched for your ears... evidenced by the people who have it out.
