Let me first say that I pretty much hate people with the story I'm about to tell. Well I don't really hate them. But it just kills me while I'm out looking for a desired rare.
The past few days I've been considering taking out this girl to look for Madexx casually. This usually means that I end up spending days obsessing over spawn timers and such. It happens with pets that I only kinda want. I am just terrible with this sort of self control. Anyhow, I wasn't feeling well last night. And leveling Arch on my main was just making my headache worse so I decided to pop onto this toon to look for Madexx. I told myself I'd be happy with any skin though my Favorites are Black, Red and Blue. I ended up just camping out while I chatted with a friend that I hadn't talked to in a while. I went to bed with no sign. Oh well.
This evening, I hopped on my bank alt to check what she had sold, switched to my JC alt to run her daily, and decided to jump onto this toon to camp a bit while I alt tabbed. I literally zone in to a flashing screen and a cute little picture from my NPCscan. It's Madexx, and I think to myself, "No way in hell is that actually him." I have to become extremely discouraged and lose all hope before finding any given rare. I click my NPCscan image, and sure enough it IS him. I pan my camera around to see a gigantic, red Scorpion with a Triangle over his head. I quickly dropped down, dismissed my Krush, and began the tame. It went off without a hitch. Now I'm a proud owner of a Pretty Red Madexx.
It's so funny that I should find the red one as I never intended to tame this guy before his red skin was discovered. I liked his Black and Blue skins, but my stable really couldn't manage another pet. But I did really like the red and told myself that if I ever found it, I would tame it. Now it's time to pick out a fitting name.
Don't hate me, guys. I know there are so many people out there dying for this guy. I've had my share of camps. In fact, I'd say in my almost full stable of rares, I've had 3-4 tames that required little to no camping. I really do feel ya'lls pain. Keep at it! And you'll finally get him!
