I was going to wait until Cataclysm, but I decided why not go ahead and look for Loque now? So I have been making my loop around Sholazar at the beginning of any hour that I happen to be online, if I'm able to. I went around at 10:00 am on Twisting Nether today with no luck. I was able to go again at the 11:00 hour but it was actually 11:17 by the time I realized it. I figured, if he has even spawned he'll surely be gone by now. But then I saw it - the little yellow dot for Loque'Nahak amidst the gorillas! I had also decided to go clockwise instead of counter-clockwise like I had been doing, and found him in the very next spot that I flew to (which would have been the last one, had I gone my usual way.)
I flew down, looking around frantically because I couldn't find him right away. No one else was around. I had to quickly abandon my new wolf from Mulgore, and I was really sad to just let him go so far from home.
But it was either him or Nuramoc, and I haven't really bonded with Nuramoc yet, but I know the wolf will be easier to get again later if I want to. So then I laid my trap but Loque wandered out of reach of the tame, so I said, forget the trap and just walked up and hit tame! I will admit I got very lucky, as I haven't been looking for nearly as long as some people do. I honestly think TN must be a good server for this. I've found and tamed Humar, Nuramoc, and Rak'shiri without searching for long and without any griefing. I don't say this to brag or make anyone feel bad, so I hope it doesn't come across that way. I just really think it might be my server - we must not have too many BM hunters, or not many looking for Spirit Beasts, or griefing those who are looking for rares (BM-only or otherwise). There definitely are a lot of stupid people on here as on any server though.
I also hadn't quite gotten the hang of NPC scan yet, or I was relying on it the wrong way, because even though I found him it gave me no kind of warning. I'm pretty sure I didn't have the sound muted. Anyway I'm just really glad I decided to start paying more attention.
I love him so much! Now I need to think of a really special name for him. Here are some pictures just after taming - sorry the first one is a little blurry, I guess I was excited.
How do you think we look together???
And when we got back to Dalaran I wanted to get a screenshot of him with me in my PVP gear, since BM is mainly my pvp spec.
