I'm not sure if she got him, because I had to keep logging on and off and at one point she had gone afk and little bit later logged out. I'm beginning to believe he's a myth on our server. Think I'll give up for tonight. Better luck some other night.

And the mining and herbing issues are terribad. There's several nodes all over Uldum that you simply cannot get to no matter how you're phased.
I have Red Madexx and Green Madexx on Kilrogg. I tamed the green one around 4am like 3-4 days after Cataclysm was released and the red one I got around 5am on the 24th. He definitly seems to spawn early morning or at least he did. Good luck!

Also I tamed the first one before any phasing in Uldum and the second after completing the zone. Funny part is I wasnt even after him I just used the portal in Org to go to Uldum then fly over the north hill to the Sholazar Portal (King Krush hunting).

2-5AM is definitely a good time to check. Fewer goobers running about that might stumble onto him and squish. I hope you all find the colors you seek. And never feel guilty about taming one or two then finding that another color calls your name.

No one here has said or should say that it is greedy. You have to be happy with your pet. Sometimes you click, sometimes not. Often, only the tiny voices in our head tell us we are being greedy and awful for not being satisfied. How many other poor hunters have had no luck! ... but luck is luck. Sometimes it loves you, sometimes not. Who is to say a bot might not have killed Madexx before another hunter came along? Or that poor leatherworker quietly going insane from skinning their 700th scorpion that just wasn't paying attention? What if is a game you will never win.

One day, you will get your favorite Madexx. And so will others. I saw literally one of each color in the wild before I got my blue. I was tempted to snag red, but a good dude was there with me who really liked red (Those purple eyes ARE fetching, are they not?) gave him a good home. How long was I camping? Oh lords, far, far too long - even WITH timers. Am I keeping my black and green? Absolutely! A kind troll huntress tamed a black one and it's fun to match! He's cool in a classic rock kinda way. Probably very nice and subtle for pvp. Malachite is a lovely green and I hope to convince him to lure his brothers out that they might find their greenies too. And yes, they do tend to walk around a bit. Watch for those waving pincers!

Congratulations Aq! Glad you got your buggie. All that's left for me is perhaps Jadefang's minipet. I wouldn't say 'no' to a red madexx, terrorpene, or Sambas (Karoma is gorgeous but - I have my quota of spirit beasties) if my friends have them already - I think I'm well and truly camped out for a good, long time.

I don't think I can take any more of this camping. I've been here for too freaking long waiting on a green Madexx. I have a husband I need to spend time with! I still want green, and will still keep attempting, but as far as spending hours upon hours each day, my mind and body just can't take it anymore.

So, green Madexx, you win. After today, I'm giving up for a bit. :cry:

Well officially 6hrs since I tamed Madexx's Bronze version.... So his spawn time is indeed greater than 6hrs.

Just want the Green one to spawn. :(

I've noticed fluctuation of up to an hour in spawn times--Terrorpene spawned half an hour early, and Sambas, Madexx and Karoma were nearly a full hour early. It's possible they can go late, too, I just don't have personal experience with it.

Gah, damnit, I'm now camping for the blue on my NE. I just couldn't resist.

Looks like my human hunter will have to go for green when she's older and the worgen can have... black maybe?

24hrs since I last tamed, still no sign of Madexx. Really want Green or Red as apposed to my Bronze. :(

EDIT: About an hour after I posted this the Black version of Madexx spawned still not the one I wanted.. Seems that the spawn is 25hrs?

Grats! I nabbed a black one myself, but I still really want green. (And green is beauuuutiful, omg!).

Thing is, green spawned 5 hours and 50 minutes after I got black, but when I wasn't there. A friend got him, though, so at least I know he'll be well taken care of. :) I was just honestly surprised he respawned that soon. I mean, I thought it was closer to 24 hours, but less than 6?!

Back to the desert for both of us, then! Not sure whether to laugh or cry.

Edit: Wait, so you got bronze first and then black? And you want green? Holy crap, exact same thing that's happening to me! :O Creepy....... :lol:

My experience was after a kindly troll huntress gave me a spawn timer and gotten herself a black Madexx - I got black too! Then I felt... green or blue please. Then a green! Then I saw red and then a bronze. FINALLY blue. I swear I went through the whole rainbow.

I, too, am suffering from the "Madexx Madness." I've been patrolling his spawn points regularly for over two weeks now and I've yet to find him in bronze, the color I want. Heck, I'd settle for black. And for that matter, I've only seen him alive once.

I don't know how you guys keep finding him on a regular basis. His spawn timer must be crazy long, because I patrol for 6-8 hours at a time and never find anything. :(

After finding the black Madexx's corpse a few days previous at around 10pm server time, I managed to find the blue Madexx at 5am in the morning last week, alive and untagged. Even though it wasn't a color I wanted, I grabbed him anyway. Gotta get something for your efforts, right? I went back exactly 22 hours later and camped for another 4 or so hours and no respawn. I'm not sure the 23-24+ hour respawn timer theory is correct.

So as of now, I'm still patrolling, bored as hell, looking... looking... Zzzzz...

I have Madexx Madness and I'm still at level 83 clawing my way to 84 then it will be another forever and a day of camping for me. Blue or green are my target colors but will happily settle for red or black.

YAY! A good friend of mine, Blooddsurge (he's a member here so doesn't mind his name being mentioned) got a Madexx! Granted, it wasn't a color he was looking for, but hey. It's weird, he had a strange feeling around 1:30 at school to check for Madexx six hours later. I didn't know about that, so when I got home and logged on, I too had a strange suspicion he'd spawn tonight. Then, sure enough, about half an hour later (and about six hours after Bloodd's odd inkling), the little bugger actually spawned!!! I was at his spawn point first (he has a knack for spawning right in front of me, it's the weirdest thing), so I let Bloodd know (we're Real ID friends now, so much easier to help one another out that way). He frantically made his way there and couldn't decide whether to get it or not. After some encouragement, he decided to get it. But, like a moron, I had tagged and trapped it for him, also meaning I had threat. So after figuring that out, I used FD. Then his Tame Beast wouldn't work for some weird reason. Seconds felt like minutes as he frantically tried to tame. Finally, he called out a pet, dismissed it, and tamed again and phew...it worked. So, bronze Madexx is his! And then, my other friend (who I shall call "N") who got the green one the other night had flown by just as he tamed him, so her NPC Scan was probably going nuts, so she flew back around and landed. Much congratulations followed, and then I decided to go get my black one from the stable keeper so we could get some "family" photos. I will say that while this camp has been a headache and a half, it's been a lot less painful having good friends to keep me company. "N" is now my Real ID friend too and while I "lost" green to her, I wouldn't have wanted to have him go to anyone else. She'll take great care of him, and I made a friend in the process. <3

What's kind of interesting is that while I was snapping these pics, I really started to grow fond of my black one. When I tamed him, I just immediately put him in the stable (a bit out of frustration that he wasn't green and because I felt so bad that I couldn't get a hold of N because she still didn't have a Madexx at the time), so I haven't had much quality time with him. But taking this pics, I noticed that he seems rather...emo. Greeny and bronzey are energetic and wave their claws about (especially greeny), but mine - named Ebonslash - just sits there like "......" most of the time. I love it! He's so brooding. Hehe! :D

Pics time!!!

I have been bitten by the Madexx Madness...I swear I need a 10 step program for my addiction;) Since I hit 85 I've been doing lap after lap of that blasted sand...so far I have seen 3 greens, 1 black, and a blue. Blue is the one I have my heart set on, the reason I've camped hours on end, my reason for obsessively lurking in these forums, LOL. Now comes the very sad story...I have tried to put lots of good hunter karma out there when it comes to this scorpion. Even going so far as to alert a hunter friend to his spawn and freeze him til they got there to tame. So imagine my heartbreak when I log in to check his spawn points still searching for the blue, I find him:D, and as I land to tag and tame a warlock decides he must kill my pretty blue love. Still amazes me how fast he killed it, but the worst part was his laughing as I /cried over the body and says to me, "well I guess you can skin him if you want." Now I know I shouldn't feel so horrible about the loss of some pixels on a screen, but my main enjoyment from this game is from the rare pets...and the blue is just beautiful...I have tamed the green twice (second tame I thought it was a different color, lol) given the green to another hunter, and tamed the black. The spawn timers have been all over the place so I just sit here making laps, *sigh*. So to all you other hunters searching for him I send LOTS of lucky thoughts your way! And keep your fingers crossed for me please...that blue one haunts me;)

OMG, no I would probably cry, too. That's terrible!!! I'm so sorry you lost him to some weiner. I have a feeling his spawn timer is more like 6-12 rather than 24 (though that's unproven), so maybe if you keep that in the back of your mind, and search around those times, you'll have better luck? I wish you all the best. :hug:

I'm so sorry to hear that another player was so cruel to you, Nitey. :(

I know firsthand how bad this camp has been. Wish I could trade you my blue Madexx for a black one. lol. I keep hoping to find the bronze one... Please keep your fingers crossed for me too!
