Re: Lv 80 and a new dilemma..
Sorry but I don't use npcscan, don't see the point tbh unless you're afk camping. Tho I even got Arcturis afk camping without it.Telsek wrote:Apologies in advance if you're already using it, but I'm curious if you find the mod NPCscan helpful with tracking down these BM pets, as they are all rares and that's what this mod does well... alerts you to the presence of a rare. I got it from Curse Gaming.
best,
Tel
I use a target macro and just spam it- but even without using it I got Loque and STD cat. I got the target macro up for Skoll since one of his spawn places are yellow mobs- and incase he's been killed just before I got there.

Re: Lv 80 and a new dilemma..
Targetting macros are fine,but honestly NPCscan is just that much better. It has advantages over mashing a button continuously, and also it's great for when you're just sitting in one spot for hours. It's easy for you mind to start wandering, so if you happen to zone out for a bit you can rest assured that the alert sound will definitely notify you.
Re: Lv 80 and a new dilemma..
I'm happy with my targeting macro- it's not like one or the other will cause Skoll to spawn any faster, or if at all :|

Re: Lv 80 and a new dilemma..
VERY useful, I think. Even if you just want to soar around, it saves you the time of having to buttonmash. PLUS, you will find rares you AREN'T specifically looking for, too, which is VERY nice. Macros are cool, but if you don't program your macro to look for TLPD too, then TLPD could soar right overhead and if you aren't looking you won't spot him. NPCscan will make sure you know however, and give you a heart attack/adrenaline boost to boot.

Re: Lv 80 and a new dilemma..
I suppose the only disadvantage is that it can make a casual searcher lazy. But really, it just gives you an extra set of eyes.
Hunters are actually quite spoiled. Most classes do not get tracking. It's a nice fallback for macro-mashing....but I'll pass on getting carpal tunnel from doing that (again), thanks. ^_^

Re: Lv 80 and a new dilemma..
Er I couldn't care less about the TLPD on Yas. She only has basic flying and I'm still in 2.4k gold debt to a friend over getting epic flying for my lock [CoS drake, no one else needed]. Then there's the other thing of, I could really care less, about the TLPD. Sure I would love it. But not for Yas. I want it for Ryai. Yasindra can get the violet proto or the green or blue, much less hassle, grief and or compitition.VelkynKarma wrote:VERY useful, I think.

I've given up any hope for the red at all on any alt.
Tbh it really doesn't. I'm really at a disadvantage over the fact that there's already usually 8+ people in SP camping for TLPD and all I have is basic flight. So even if I have the macro and it goes off well whoop. Again it's not going to help me really tame skoll.Basically, there's no downside to using it. Considering that you're often going up against other people who ARE using it, to NOT use it generally puts you at a disadvantage in terms of range and it means you pretty much HAVE to babysit your WoW window.
I just want to see his damned corpse atleast so I can get to camping. But the problem?
I'm not even finding his corpse and as I said, while thankyou for the addon suggstion, it's not really going to help me in the long run until I can pin down a time to start camping cause like hell I could pull another allnighter without going mad.

Re: Lv 80 and a new dilemma..
Considering how and where he spawns, you're right. You won't see him, with or without a macro, without epic flight or extreme luck (and in all honesty, you really need both).Ryai wrote:Tbh it really doesn't.

However, that does not mean that you're not at a range disadvantage without the addon. It's two separate disadvantages. You don't have to circle a spawn point as tightly with the addon looking ahead for you.
Best of luck to you.

Re: Lv 80 and a new dilemma..
So do whatever you feel most comfortable with! I'm sure the addon is wonderful but finding rares can be done without it. It probably just takes a bit more work and luck. Good luck!!!
