@Serenith ~ I've tamed Karkin 3 times myself and rehomed him too many times to count on Moon Guard. Twice I tamed him on the north rock. Once I tamed him on the south near Kirix's platform.

I decided to just go look, just cause, even tho I swore I wouldn't....and...there he was. The northern spawn point. I saw the red dot and thought "oh, skarr again." But it wasn't. It was really Karkin. The tame went flawlessly, mostly cause my girlfriend who wasn't gibbering and shaking took over (Love ya, babe!). I have my crab!!! :D :D :D
Skitterflame was also up, so we tamed him cause no one loves the poor lil guy.

But....EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!CRAAAAAAAB!!!!!<3<3<3

EDIT: I have named my crab. His name is now Attai. It means "timely" or "my time or hour" I have a reason for this, beyond the obvious fitness of it. If you use t9word on your cell, you know it comes up with interesting things sometimes. "Attai" and "Butch" are the same keystrokes and it came up with Attai when I was texting about my Uncle Butch being seriously ill. Since it looks like he might not make it, I was thinking of an ingame memorial for him...maybe seems silly, but, hey. Now, there is a crab memorial for him.

Major Gratz :3 Karkin is rare on my realm, too, and he often spawns when it's the "Everyone is doing dailies and ganking" time.

Grats, you really deserved him! Sadly, Karkin seems to be more common on my server so now that I'm looking for Skarr all I do is rehome Karkin :P

Congratulations!

Now tell him to get his butt over to Argent Dawn when I'm there (alone!) to tame him.

GRATS!!!! So glad you didn't fully give up! Patience pays off and it sometimes seems the things we're looking for don't come to us until we stop looking. Thats what happened on my last run of Deadmines. I'd thought, I'm giving up if Albino doesn't spawn this time. Lo and behold, THERE HE WAS as soon as I entered the last room.
