Taming the Cinderweb Broodling (Green Fire Spider)?

[Monica Gems]

I just watched the Hyjal Scout die and spawn the little green spiders. They are NOT tameable, and they despawn in about 45 sec.

On a happier note, I just tamed Kirix. =D

Edit: It appears they are bugged, and one of them is tameable. Just finished talking with a GM about it and he says that they are not intended to be tameable.

But the two sets of Broodlings have 2 different NPC IDs. The GM I spoke with said that both mobs are functioning as intended.

[Kalliope]

Thanks!!! That's very helpful feedback. Keep your eyes peeled, everyone! Let's get some confirmation.

[Monica Gems]

Someone here had a GM say that these are NOT intended to be tamed, however a GM I spoke with indicated both were functioning properly, as the IDs for the ones spawned at the body are different than those running around.

Hm, it's later in the day and the Clutchkeepers are back. Dailies can't possibly have reset since I tamed my lil green spider after 6 AM.

This is mind boggling, to say the least.

[Monica Gems]

Maybe it's a time of day thing? Clutchkeepers despawned when the dailies reset at 1am server, but I only lasted another hour and a half or so and I had to get to bed. I'll get up at 1am and camp til the nerubians respawn... or until I get the quet mentioned earlier.

Quick, everyone who tamed, what time was it?? Server time? And had the dailies already reset? If so, what time do they reset?

Say the dailies reset at 12 am server, at which point the nerubians despawn and the little ones begin patting, but only for the next ... 6 hours or so? Or for the 6 hours the nerubians are gone, the babies are only up for the last 2 hours of it? We might find an accurate time window if their spawn is in fact time based.

OR maybe the spawns "cycle"; Every 6 hours one is up, the other isn't?

~6 AM, Eastern server. I'll check again tomorrow morning.

I was just reffering to the one's that spawned off the Scout near the camp.

[Monica Gems]

Ooh. I gotcha. I went over to them and tab targetted them all and tried to tame afterI read this (only had to wait ~3 min!), none worked. I was sad. Forgot to say, grats on your Kirix tame, but.. grats

Hopefully, I get that quest tomorrow, or we can figure a timer out on the pats.

[Acherontia]

Right, dailies just turned over, and I ran into a pack of these almost at once. Not sure if the dailies are related or not, or if it was the time, or what, but:

Dailies today:

The Dogs of War
Hostile Elements
Burn Victims
Wisp Away

Regrowth Dailies:

Rage Against the Flames
The Protectors of Hyjal
Those Bears Up There

Also confirming that 53753 is the correct NPC ID for the patrolling tameables. They ran to the nest area beneath the tallest mountain, and despawned a moment after I tamed one & feigned the rest off.

[Monica Gems]

BURN VICTIMS and WISP AWAY are 2 I've seen people state they have when seeing the pats; not sure what either have to do with them though...

Were the nerubian guys up at the time, Ach?

[Acherontia]

You know, I didn't even think to check...

They are now, but we've since restarted for a hotfix & I don't see the spiderlings again. (I saw only the one pack, which I dove for without looking around much >.<)

[Monica Gems]

I don't blame you. Did they set off NPCScan? I'll be sitting there ready to go as soon as server resets, but having the thing go off to help me target will be easier.

[Acherontia]

Yes, they did--with the NPC ID above; I was worried yesterday that the ID was wrong or that NPC Scan wouldn't pick them up for some reason. After all, I was out there for a good 4-5 hours!

But today when I Eagle Eyed over after picking up the new dailies, they set NPC Scan right off. I rode over, clicked the target panel again and found them at once. Easy tame, too, if you don't count the one my demon dog decided to run up and gank >.<

[Monica Gems]

Any idea what their pat looked like? Either of the two I've drawn out? X represents an -ish of a despawn (maybe even spawn?) spot, though I think you probably meant more towards the center of the nest. The arrow is my current camp spot, let me know if that's a good place to get them as soon as they're up.

[Aussiehunter]

they have a much bigger pat area, they go around the whole area, depending where they spawn to what they circle and what direction

[Monica Gems]

D:< Jerk spiders. This'll be fun...

Server just reset. No spawn...

[Monica Gems]

Burn Victims
Aggressive Growth
The Harder They Fall
Hostile Elements

Nothing at reset but I'll give it a few hours
