Madexx's color spawns are random as far as I know so there is no telling when the green will show up.

Hi, new to the forums but a long time reader. I wanted to throw in some info on Skoll. After three straight long months of hunting and refusing to level past 80, taking a nine month break, and then coming back to give it one more shot before deciding to bow-out of the hunt completely, I caught him earlier today on Moon Guard at 7:10AM EST/6:09AM PDT at the spot above Brunnhildar village using NPC_Scan after the rolling re-starts. If it hadn't been for this thread and the information provided about his times/patrolling techniques, I'd have missed him. Thank you, thank you, thank you for providing advice to us weary trackers! I am grateful and so is Skoll..err.. Keegan, now ;)

These are times I tamed rares on silvermoon-EU, some more exact than others. Server time.

Arcturis- somewhere between 6:30 and 7 AM
Sambas - 02:07 AM. He must have spawned pretty close to thas since I had patted the area 20 mins before
Skoll - Somewhere between 1 and 2 PM
Terrorpene- 7:58 AM exactly. He spawned right underneath me. He seems to spawn around this time on that server generally as I've seen him before( I was only level 81 and he killed me so many times.) and another hunter has told me.
Ban'thalos - somewhere around 12:30 PM
Ghostcrawler- somewhere around 2:30 AM
Gondria - somewhere around 2 AM
Karoma, Magria and ankha - super sorry I forgot. Also a late night tame. If anyone knows how to see when you posted on wowhead other than date I can find out. I usually make a post right after a tame.
Karoma was at night, Magria in the afternoon 12-14 ish, and ankha 18-23 in the evening.
loque'nahak - 2-3 AM

Not sure I want to overwhelm you all with information, but I do tend to use recount to check how much damage they do to me and include what happened during the tame to put that in perspective. If anyone is nervous about dying to a mob or anyhing I can post that info too. I know it was info I was looking for when reading up before camping anything. I might also copypasta some of my wowhead posts as I like to post the info I would have liked to have had before a tame myself.

Found Hexapos pathing in the south on Hyjal about 11pm server time, purely by accident. Noticed the tracks and followed them.

Gondria is up on Silvermoon EU right now!

Not sure if I inviting you would work so you'd get cross realmed to mine. If it works that would be an interesting thing, I have all of the spirit beasts and most of the pets I've wanted anyways so I'd love to alert friends about it.

ETA: How do I even know what server I am on anymore? With this cross realm stuff.

Anyone got any tips for Patrannache? I'm having the worst time tracking him down. '~' And yeah, I'm following the map.

Thanks!! Will set my alarm clock for Acturis tomorrow. I´m on silvermoon too and have been camping Acturis for 2 weeks now without luck.

Arcturis might be easy to find/camp, but it is to everyone too so it becomes hard again. What I did was stay in the little inn and log in an check if he was there every now and then. Seeing gondria yesterday might mean there's hope finding a rare even on silvermoon, the trick I've found is to check really late or early in the morning.

His tracks are SMALL.
I've been hunting him myself, and by the information I've gathered his tracks are SMALL.

It is said they are "barely visible", as stated in their name, and are tiny little things. Very hard to see.

Good luck! :}

Patrannache's tracks are small but not THAT small. They also stick out very clearly if you have textures set to low.

From my tame, shows color size and remember at the moment there BACKWARDS!
Also I found a couple floating in mid air around head level to my hunter.

This bird also walks rather quickly, so find the last track and flair well ahead.

Hi there!

I'm on the hunt for Gondria and I was wondering if anyone can give me tips? Velen server, horde btw.
Been looking on and off for days now, but haven't run across her yet. ;_;

Do you have NPCScan and NPCScan_Overlay?

Re: Need help finding a rare? Check here first!

I have NPCscan, I don't have the Overlay. I'll download that before signing back on to try again. ;w;

Should I download Silverdragon as well? I mean would it help a bit more? :c

Re: Need help finding a rare? Check here first!

Yes. Silverdragon is a good safety net if you forgot to clear the creature cache. :3

the OVerlay will show Gondria's spawn spots. Wish you were on Moon Guard cause I see her all the time.

Awesome! I always forget to clear mine so that helps XD I downloaded it so maybe I'll get lucky and run across her tonight. Thanks a lot!

Ohhh lucky, I wish I was too. D; Trying to keep positive. I appreciate all the help! : D
I've heard she's seen more around the borders to Grizzly Hills, so that's where I've been taking turns sitting there for 15-30 minutes and moving onto the next spot. But I also have been taking turns patrolling all her spawn areas. Soo glad I got the money to buy faster flying the other day, helps so much XD

They have appeared to have fixed the backward tracks. I was in Kun-Lai Summit and noticed that the back end of Stompy's tracks were disappearing. So I followed them and sure enough there was Stompy at the "front" end of the tracks.

It's only the paw-shaped prints; the claw-shaped prints are still backwards.

I've run into her there before. I've also seen her a lot by the stairs too.

I finally got her last night at around 2AM! Found her near the Zim'Torga flightpath / under the trees.

I wasn't even looking for her this time, I was making my way to a digging site and just happened to find her. So happy! : D
