All you Campers for Rares Please Read
I have tamed em all at one point, even if there not in me stables at the moment. I have helped others tame pets. I have looked for rare pets and then used the old guild perk to summon and help fellow hunters.
I follow this rule:
10 mins before the hour 10 mins after the hour. For example: 2:50 to 3:10.
Your welcome to ignore this, your welcome to call it coincidence but after years of playing this rule has never let me down. Sometimes i have ignored it and watch before my eyes a mob spawn within that time period.
It could be any hour, just wait 10 mins before and 10 mins after.
Please stop staring at your screen for 8 + hours. Its freaking me out just hearing about it.

I stare at my PC screen 8+ hours a day anyway so might as well have WoW running while I do so. >:D (To be fair, I do paint digitally and do other stuff while I "camp" so I might be a cheater in that sense.)Banard wrote:Please stop staring at your screen for 8 + hours.

I stare at the screen all day more or less due to personal reasons. I hardly sit and do WoW all day unless I'm actively playing.
Xakaal is also right. With CRZ implemented, you never know when the zones are going to change over.
Even assuming that, like Junrei's comment with Sunwing, the theory was correct, that doesn't account for all tame times. For example, Sunwing was once up at :50 and change. He was also up at :40 on the dot. If you wanted to hunt Sunwing on a populated CRZ group full of pet enthusiasts (I've met more Petopians on the Sunwing camp than anywhere), then you won't earn any favors if you swoop in at :50 or :10, camp a little, then leave.
Good tips, but easily thrown off by people not being there to tame on the dot or by CRZ itself.
Always be kind to your pets... or else.
When the last moon is cast over the last star of morning
And the future has passed without even a last desperate warning

*raises her paw* Indeed. I has! She's a quick one!Shade ღ wrote:I write (about 1/3 through my novel :3), I youtube, I talk to friends. I have NPC scannies running in the background. Yes, two of them. I have a corner of WoW in the background at all times. I can click into WoW and click on the mob very fast (Junrei has seen me do it... yeah, I was tabbed out of WoW on that tame xD). I'm convinced that if I lose a tame or kill due to being tabbed out, I wasn't going to get it anyway. My reactions can't get any faster.

I normally don't camp. I'm the type to just swing by if I'm in the area or randomly head out and check for rares. I only recently camped Skoll because I had some other things to get done and needed an excuse to do them... so camp time!

Also, if you're after something like Loque that has multiple spawn points, make sure you are checking every single one. I despair seeing people camp one spawn point and ignore the other 6, not realizing how much they are hurting their chances.

I always picked one to park it but I swooped to the others every 15 - 30 minutes.7seti wrote:The exact time doesn't matter, but checking once every hour (or half-hour) is a very efficient way of finding rares without driving yourself completely bonkers. Best way is to play an alt and leave your hunter at the spawn point.
