I did a quick swoop of the Basin earlier this evening and Loque wasn't around, so I switched over to an alt to level for a while. Several hours later, I switched back over to my main hunter, who I had left flying above the spawn point for Loque that was the far southeast one, by the gorillas, and BANG! NPC-Scan went off and he was there, and ALIVE!! I quickly swooped down, frantically searched for my tame beast button, didn't even bother looking to see if anyone else was even there first, I was so excited and determined to get him! I was very nervous as the tame beast bar counted down that something would go wrong, or someone would try to kill him as I hadn't even tagged him first.
But then that magical sound with the flashing light surrounded him, and I knew he was mine! At last, after the last couple years or so of searching and searching for him on and off, and it finally paid off, and I found him! I'm sooo happy! I've named him Manekineko, after the maneki neko, Japanese lucky cat statues, since it was pure awesome luck that I logged in at the right time at the right spot!
For anyone on the Proudmoore server that's looking for him too, I tamed him at approximately 9:25/9:30pm ST. I've heard different thoughts on what his spawn timer is, one of them being a 6 hour timer. Best of luck to everyone looking for him, or any other rare for that matter!
