Spawned: 930p pst - saturday - SE corner - ysera
timeframe: 930a-1230p saturday---- 15-16hrs.

Seriously had my doubts, cause' frankly I'm doubtful on things like this anyways...

I got misdirection on my corehound, which was taking 10k a tick so he was goin down fast, a little below 50% pop first macro all the drums, elixirs, pop second macro right after which was detterance, potion, & tame, & man I absolutely fail at taking screenshots during the tame of mobs like this, just get so caught up in the "will I will I c'monnnn...." anyways, tame bar read 9.9sec, but got down to 6sec. then boom tamed.

I used: king drums, both fire resist & haste elixir, haste pot, detterance, & I had 35k buffed.

Kinda a feat of strength for me as this'll have been the first difficult tame I 'one shotted'.

'thanks C for the grats'

[Calen]

Congrats Tilo! I'm glad you got your Terrorpene not too long after I did.

One of my hardest tames - died while the tame finished. xD My gear also isn't the greatest mind you, I just dinged 85 a couple nights ago and havn't done many dungeons.

And I just HAD to get him, I love the new turtle models - I leveled with my Tortolla from 80-85, he never let me die once while questing. So to have his bloodkin as well now... just makes it that much more awesome. =D

This is from like a week ago but I'd been meaning to post this.

I was flying through Hyjal, I don't even remember why, and I flew past the lava pools...what do I see but a moving, glowing island? And then NPC Scan and SilverDragon go off. I already had Terrorpene (posted pics somewhere in this thread) on Kormai and since it's red I don't want him for my alliance hunter. I whisper my friend who had been trying for days to find him, but he'd gotten him like two days before. So I whisper the only other hunter friend I have, who flies as fast as he can and tames it. A few minutes later we're standing still in shock and another hunter flies by and asks when he spawned. I felt so bad for that dude!

I just caught Terrorpene, a little luck and a willing priest goes a long way.At first i tried to tame him alone with the core hound trick but after 10 minutes i knew i needed help.I /whoed hyjal asked a priest if they were interested in making money explained it to them and we began.Even with the haste and my beloved healer whom i don't plan on forgetting so soon, i caught terrorpene.Sadly my heart-racing anxiety-fueled joy was crushed by some healer telling me i stole it from a hunter who tried to tame it 15 or so minutes after i had began trying to do so.Why are people like this?I'm an over sensitive carebear i guess but it really ruined the moment for me.Even more so when i tried to convince the healer otherwise but was told they didn't believe me because they were the child of the hunter who had tried his luck just like i did even if i was there first...

[Tilo]

@nightfall grats on your tame firstly, secondly it should've been stated to you as you were going for Terrorpene assuming that other guy wanted? That he wanted him, as you said you got a try in or so in the first 10m, then asked for help then got your tame, that could've been plenty of time for this other hunter to fly in tell you the circumstances & either try himself or let you have.

Just got my Terrorpene on my cenarius hunter, thanks go out to Mr B (name blotted for privacy), for letting me try a second time as I once again flubbed the first try, but I got him second time around & tomorrow I'll be helping out Mr B for his by hanging out at the same spawn I saw mine, & letting him know when I see him so he too can get his own, again thanks Mr B., & finally I can quit camping Cata. rares... ''whew'' now to have some fun!

Edit: yay mr b got his terrorpene this morning at 445a, grats mr b.

I tamed Terrorpene a few minutes ago on my server. I finally have him. Took me almost a week. Longest pet I had to wait for.

Oops! I didn't even notice them. I took the pictures out for now and will replace them tomorrow when I can edit them. I'm on my phone right now haha.

[Authion]

I've spent countless hours camping Terrorpene and lost him to other hunters twice. I'm fine with that, but there is this one hunter on my server (opposing faction) who terrorizes me even though he has the pet already....now that is frustrating! If I see that hunter again, s/he better watch out because anytime I see you I'm going to camp you for hours. Sorry for the rant, anyways, I've been camping here today for about 7 and a half hours with no spawn, so hopefully i'll get something soon and have time to tame it.


Edit: It's been changed, sorry about that. I'm using NPC Scan thankfully. Still sitting here, hopefully soon!

[zedxrgal]

Authion - If another hunter is griefing you you need to report it to a GM. Forum rules are "No Shaming No Naming" so please remove the offending hunter's name from your post.
Also it's pretty well documented that Terrorpene seems to sit more to the 12 hour spawn timer on most of the servers I've seen so that could be why you're not getting a spawn yet.

Also having Silver Dragon and NPC Scan and NPC Overlay help A LOT if you don't already use them.

Good luck.

[Authion]

Woot! As an update, after 11 hours of sitting there my NPC scan went off and my heart just dropped hahaha. As an ilvl 352 hunter, I didn't use any tricks to tame him and still had 80k hp, so for anyone at level 85 with decent gear its really easy if you can wait it out. Terropene spawned at 8:05 PST on Kil'Jaeden. Happy hunting

I'm currently ten hours into my Terrorpene camp, and going slightly crazy. A few hours ago, I discovered that people recommend bringing fire resistance gear for this tame. I freaked out, thinking "OMG I don't have an Onyxia Scale Cloak!", and then summoned Jeeves in hopes that I had some sort of fire resistance hidden away in my bank. As it turns out, I did. Currently wearing part t1 and part t2 and looking very, very silly.
I even used the wormhole generator once out of boredom, and actually got the "underground" option... Needless to say, I used it and was back at my camping spot five minutes later.




Picture related, it's me looking stupid in Mount Hyjal.

[Chimera]

Raaawr lol, this pic made it into the Screenshot of the day a good while back, i was so excited to see my terrorpene Ruin get entered <3

[Veeron]

Update on my last post: Finally got him at 07:22 server time, Earthen Ring EU. Camped him since 17:45, took breaks around 18:00 and 19:00 for Ghostcrawler and Karoma, respectively.




Sorry about the size, I couldn't bring myself to resize or crop it.

Raaawr lol, this pic made it into the Screenshot of the day a good while back, i was so excited to see my terrorpene Ruin get entered <3

Oh my gosh, that is so cool! I remember seeing that as screenshot of the day and bursting out laughing. For some reason, I can hear the big boy (can't remember his name!) yelling something along the lines of, "You listen here whippersnapper! When I was your age..."

Since Cata was released and I first saw this pet, I'd wanted it.

I didn't get Cata till the 3rd day in of Children's Week this year (I still needed ach's done on my shaman and hunter for the meta) and when I was finished, I started leveling as quick as I could.
During the trial I'd gotten my hunter, shaman, lock, and dk 1 point to 81 so it wasn't hard.
I decided to camp his spawn not too long after and had no luck the first day.
I logged in the following morning and at around 12:45 PM my npc scanner went off.
I was frantic, lol
I completely forgot my game plan.
I shakily dialed my bf and had him log in on his pally.
He buffed me and put up his resistance aura.
I sat down, ate, popped my pot and pulled out my corehound.
I had a flask I'd completely forgotten in the mean time.. lol
I ran to him, through lava still shaking.
I dismissed my corehound and started taming and before I could get a screenshot off he was mine.
I think he only hit me twice.

I was overjoyed that he was finally mine.
Over the next two days I left my pally out there mining and fishing while I waited.
A worgen hunter tried to kill me at one point but I was high enough in the air where I'd survived.
After he and several Horde hunters had given up I stayed there, waiting.
My bf wanted to do MC, so I left.
By the time we'd finished it was 1:30 AM.
He checked in just to see, and sure enough he was there.
Again, I fumbled.. the log in screen never took so long.
We'd been in a raid group together just in case but for some reason we were disbanded.
I invited him while he drank his pot and ate his buff food.
And he got him almost just as quick, tho he had around 10k health less than me so when he hit 12k I'd tossed him a heal just in case.

And here's a picture of he and I with another hunter in Org.

So now the only time I need to head back to the lava ravaged area is when I need to fish up fire.
After leveling two alchemists, a tailor, a blacksmith, an engineer, and a leatherworker and still having over 150 left.. I don't think that will be for a long, long time..

First,I just want to say to all the 81 hunters who tamed this awesome turtle:Congragulations!

Secondly,to all the hunters who had to wait for their tame over days and days: I apologize for my story.

my friend and I decided to go to Hyjal to fish up Volatile Fire in the pools there. So,we get there,and my NPCscan goes blaring off,and there he is,lazily walking around the pools of fire,just chillin'. My friend.a Shaman,said.."get him". So I flew down,dismissed Pinky,my shale spider,and started the tame. (I was 85...lol) Ten seconds later,my friend and I went fishing with my new turtle.
It's always been like that with me. After we caught whatever we needed,my friend logged for the night,and I went to Zul'Drak to see if Gondria was up.She was,and I was very lucky to get two rare tames in one night. I then went to the Storm Peaks hoping for a hat trick of taming with Skoll. Nope.lol...someday,that wolf will be mine....just not yet.

Anyway.grats again to all who have this awesome turtle,and GL to all those still hunting!

I first tamed TP on my dwarf Bofors at 81, about two weeks after cata was released. Before going after him, I loaded up on cheap green fire resist gear at the AH (which made me take a drop in HP since it was mostly all WotLK / BC stuff - only 30k), and I also picked up a "disposable core hound", speed potion and a couple other odds & ends. After a few days of logging in, checking, and logging off, he popped.

Thanks to all the preps (but primarily I think to the FR - see below), I was able to tame him on the first try, and only lost 15-20k or so HP doing it.

A few days ago I ran into him on my BE Khitsune while en route to another archeology dig. No FR this time, but she was lvl 84, and even though her gear was crap (a few ilvl 272s, the rest were 251s - since wotlk I haven't done much with her outside of archaeology), she still had 57k hp, so I figured "why not".

Well this time around things didn't go so smoothly... after dying a half dozen times at @ 80-90% completion, a light flickered on somewhere and I remembered that Khitsune had Lifebloom... this time, once again I died BUT at the same instant TP also disappeared, and I had myself a new turtle in the stable!

Here is the macro I used, for any hunters with herbalism:
