Taming Rare Spiders, Need Advice!

Unread post by Fatheroflies »

So I've been camping the Molten Front for days now and I have yet to see a single rare. I was wondering what advice you guys have to finding and taming these beasts? I found the guide that explains how to tame each...but I wanted more advice on finding.

There's nothing really to it except luck. If they're up when you're there, you tame them; if not, you're kinda screwed. I tend to spend an hour or two there every day, both for dailies and for helping others tame and just looking at the pets. So far I've seen and tamed every beast--or helped each get tamed--bar Skarr; their spawn timers really aren't terrible.

One thing I have noticed, though, is that one spider dies or is tamed, very often another seems to spawn JUST afterwards, much like the Sethria's Roost elites. I think that if you see one being tamed, check the other spawns constantly.

Oh, and don't search by hand--use Eagle Eye. You can hit every spawnpoint within ~30 seconds from the portal in like this.
