Spirit Beast help

Unread post by Jsnow »

I was just curious what the easiest spirit beast to tame would be since so far everything seems to be camped 24/7 on my server.

Arcturus was easy for me. One point to spawn in, just sit there and do whatever, ocassionally making sure you don't log from being idle too long.

Edit; go away, auto correct

Yeah, or you could just sit there and keep putting out random traps to tag him. I dunno, just a suggestion

It might be worth checking on Ghostcrawler as well. Not many people spend time in Vashj'ir, and he can't be killed by random passerby.

I'd say GC or Gondria is easiest.

I'm also going to go with Ghostcrawler, because the only other people you'll see there are herbalists (there are a few Stormvine nodes out there) and fellow hunters.

After that it depends on how many people populate certain zones. Sounds like Arcturis would be pretty tough on your CRZ group, and Skoll is frequently nabbed, if not by hunters, then by ignorant levelers or TLPD campers that don't know what he is (or don't care/believe in that 'rare cap' BS). Gondria would be fairly easy because some of her spawn points are out of the way of questing...Ban'thalos and Magria/Ankha could also be decent because they require questing to even see them--so less chance of being randomly nuked.

So GC > Ban'thalos & spectral kitty trio > Skoll > Loque & Arcturis, imo.

Based on my experience, I would say the order from easier to hardest (At least on the servers I play) is :
1-. Gondria
2-. Ghostcrawler
3-. Skoll
4-. Loque'nahak
5-. Arcturis
6-. Ban'thalos
7-. Ankha and Magria
8-. Karoma

With Mists out, Karoma probably will be easier to find due to people no longer swarming in Twilight Highlands.
Arcturis probably will still be hard to find due to spawning next to a quest hub and several hunters camping it for the single spawn spot.
Skoll spawns in areas of low traffic in Storm Peaks, even with TLPD campers.
The three spirit beasts of the regrowth probably will be up more time now that everyone is in Pandaria.

Gondria was the easiest to find for me, even seen it up after and jsut sat ther and looked at it with noone to tame it. The two other cats magria and akha were easy to find as well.

Skoll and arcturis are propbably the hardest, on my server they're sought after it seems and arcturis being "easy" to camp means it is for any other hunter too.

I say just do a dly around northrend and see if any of them is up(preferrably late or early in the morning)

As mentioned, Ghostcrawler is one that only other hunters would know about, and he's out of the way. I've had stupid luck with Gondria and Banthalos both. Skoll was easy before cross realm zoning, so he's probably the hardest with Arcturis being second hardest as he's parked right outside an alliance base.

For me it was Arcturis, I tamed one about a week ago.
before the CRZ I found Skoll pretty easy but I think It would be really tough.
I agree that Ghostcrawler is the easiest just because he cant be killed that easy ;)

good luck!

Skoll's near-an-Alliance-base spawn is also directly below a TLPD/Vyra spawn point.

Why no, I didn't learn this the hard way while camping Skoll, why would you ask? <.<;
