EDIT: What are the craziest, most noob moments any of you has had during a tame, or on the way there?
![Embarrassed :oops:](./images/smilies/icon_redface.gif)
So my ALMOST horrifail Sambas story:
I was doing my random pet challenge on Kari and I'd just come from outlands. My hearth was on CD so I decided to fly to Twilight Highlands to test my new Core Hound. I paused halfway to do a heroic with a guildie and when we finished I continued on my way. I got to TH and thought: "Oh why not? I'm right here, I'll check if Sambas is up."
![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)
Of course this was the wrong hunter; I wanted Sambas on Kormai. Right before I got to the most southern spawn point I thought to myself: "This is going to be like that time you saw Loque on Kormai and wanted him for Kari...You found him but didn't get Kari there fast enough and he was gone. Where is Kormai right now? She's in Uldum...he is so gonna be there."
Of course since I'm posting this, you already know what happened! Sure enough Sambas was there, just walking around the southern spawn point; no one else in sight. I started swearing to my friend on Real ID while signing out.
![Surprised :o](./images/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif)
I signed on to Kormai and she was in the middle of Uldum...well at least I had my hearth. I hearthed to Org, flew like a mad woman to the portals and clickity-click clicked.
![Confused :?](./images/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif)
"WHAT? The load screen for Deepholm!? OMG are you serious?" I loaded into Deepholm, ran around to the other side to get back to Org, and clickity-click clicked the portal again...
![Mad :x](./images/smilies/icon_mad.gif)
"Therazane!? What is this!??" Clicked the portal behind me and kept running around the chamber until I got to the ACTUAL portal back to Org and clicked it. Meanwhile my Real ID friend saw that I'd done that and was laughing hysterically.
![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
Also, he reminded me that Sambas was most definitely not going to be there. I agreed with him. I also kept trying to hit 'r' to talk to him but it wasn't working and my scattered brain couldn't figure out why, so I asked and he calmly said "That's because I never responded to you."
![Embarrassed :oops:](./images/smilies/icon_redface.gif)
*facepalm*
So I was back in Org, and I finally clicked the right portal. I was inside the building in TH and I tried to mount up...
![Mad :x](./images/smilies/icon_mad.gif)
Can't mount in here. I also realized at this point: I still have Kormai's Pet Challenge rhino out and reminded myself that I needed to dismiss before I could try to tame. So I finally got in the air, on my way to Sambas, sure that he was gone. I remembered at this point to check that I had an empty slot...I did. I flew over and didn't see a red dot on my minimap, but I remembered my beast tracking was off because OMG there he was!
![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
Still walking around with no one in sight. I got too close and aggroed him so I flew back up, moved away, dismounted and hit tame. It didn't work! And omg my rhino was attacking!

*Passive* *Dismiss pet* *Tame* *Frantically hit print screen*

And then his name turned blue, he walked to my side and I sat and stared wondering how on Azeroth he was still there.
![Question :?:](./images/smilies/icon_question.gif)
After two weeks of camping with intense competition from Horde and Alliance I found him at 10:10 pm server time on a whim. Every time I was out camping for hours and hours there were at least 4 Alliance hunters camping as well and a friend had told me they were offering like 2-4k gold for him. There were also usually 2-3 Horde hunters camping but no one ever speaks in general on Horde so no gold offered on our side.

I'm still amazed. Pics or it didn't happen! Glad I took pics. Also, I don't usually have this much trouble with taming rares.

Anyways, I'm so glad Allegory is home! The only cata rare I don't have yet is Madexx, and I'm still not entirely sure that I want him. *takes a deep breath* I still can't believe he was there!
