I tried a couple of days from 3pm-3am. I never had any luck with the All day camps are a real pain but I keep trying to do it uninterrupted. I been usually doing 6pm-3am sometimes 2am depending on if I have something to do the day after.

What's the spawn time on this particular spirit beast? I know Arcturis was about 19hrs after server maintenance; & I only camped six of those before I saw em'.

Reports I've seen are from 5 minutes to 23 hours.

If I may offer a suggestion...

The spawn time for Skoll seems to be more along the lines of a full 20-24 hours ( honestly, 22 hours is the 'usual time' he respawns) after the last spawning. I've timed and tested it 3 times and each time, it was accurate. My own accounts in taming Skoll:

Camped at the Disk above the village.

1) First time I saw and found him, I was middle of the tame when another hunter lashed out and killed it outright while I was trying to tame. He thought it was hilarious to keep it from me.

2) I missed the tame by a few minutes, but that's because I was late/distracted. But my timing was on.

3) Got'em easy as pie.



Another tip: Spirit beasts (and I've not found this to not be true. So either it is true, or this is one hell of a coincidence...) .. In all my tamings and watchings, Spirit Beasts tend to spawn either 15 before the hour, or 15 after the hour... They're up for 15 minutes and despawn:

Example: Spirit Beast1 will spawn at 8:45, and despawns if not killed/tamed at 9:00.
Spirit Beast 2 will spawn at 2:15, and despawns if not killed/tamed at 2:30.


This is the luck I've had with 2 Loques, Gondria, Skoll (two hunters, 1 Alli and 1 Horde), and helping get Skoll and Loque for friends.

Loque has a different spawn ratio and is the most predictable of the beasts to tame - BUT has the widest spread spawn points.

Skoll is a hard tame due to the fact he's sharing a spawn path point with other rares -- both for achievements like frostbitten and the Time Lost Protodrake Mount. ---

PROTIP: Establishing bonds/pacts with others in the area is a great way to help have eyes elsewhere. Had people that were looking for TLPD look for Skoll for me, and I'd look for TLPD for them. I even offered 'bounty hunter rewards' of Frost Lotus and Titansteel.. that motivates a lot of folks more than straight gold.


Establishing a RareSpawn channel maybe helpful for your given realm -- either for people who wish to hunt them for Frostbitten OR to tame.

Hehe, odd you should mention that. ^^ I've found in all my Spirit Beast encounters that they tend to spawn around 5 minutes past the hour or half hour. (eg. 8:05, 8:35).

don't want to derail but for anyone who's tamed Skoll; does he have a unique roar or attack sound like Loque'Nahak?

I too am waiting around to see Skoll; but not to tame because my stable contains two spirit beasts already, Arcturis, & Loque, I just want to see Skoll though

Skoll, fortunately, doesn't have a unique roar á Loque. His roar is a variation of a howl, if I remember correctly.

Yeah, his sounds are the normal saber worg ones, but with the added echo sort of effect on them.

i used 2x accounts to get him got him at 4 am or something but that was loooooooooooong ago before i quited wow :p

Best time to look is after a server reset, I think that's when I picked up Skoll right by the disc above Brunhildar.

If it helps, I got him at 4:33 AM realm time right before a 5:00 am restart.

Am I lucky or what?

6hr wait on Arcturis & Skoll...

Odd thing; had _Npc-Scan going; cache was reset; it did not go off for either of these mobs...

1:40am - server - ysera




"shakes some luck off her armor on to Sooka"

The EU guild started sacrificing squirrels, that's why.

I camped Skoll solidly for a couple of days before I tamed him (probably 25ish hours camping), and heard of/saw him three times - I don't know if 22 hours is usual... but he can most definitely show up earlier than that, in my experience. I heard of him spawning and being tamed at 2am server time, and then didn't see hide nor hair of him again until I found his dead body 11:45pm (/cry) - which would match your ~22 hours. I tamed him almost exactly 12 hours after I saw his dead body though.

On a side note, if you do get Skoll, don't hang around his spawn point with him forever; I had so many near-heart attacks because of a hunter playing with Skoll at the disc spawn. He stayed there for about four hours and I think it took several years off of my life whenever the scanner went off, haha.

(I got Time Lost Proto Drake easier than I got Skoll; that puppy is so frustrating to camp, but so worth it!)

Grats Tilo! Out of curiosity I looked for him at about 11:50 p.m. Sunday night, maybe that's why I didn't see him.

So how's your hunt for Skoll doing Sooka?

Needless to say I flubbed it, thought nah he's not that great, & abandoned him, Yeah...I know, unwise of me, welcome to berate me all ya' want, & I'm a bad owner. It was an accident to abandon him but nothing can be done except hunt for him again...

So back to the hunt....
- start at 4am
- 6:20am Silver Dragon goes off "Skoll!" ok cool, so I click the icon to target; nothing, look around spawn points, nothing. false alarm perhaps
- 8:15am damn the cat for walking on the keyboard & making me fall for 20k damage
- 9am 22hr mark; if he does not show I'll assume he was slain at 6:25-30am & check again at 3-4pm & 12-2am marks as above posters have mentioned; regardless I deserve this for messing it up.
- 6pm 15hrs in - not a peep of any rare, it's pretty desolate out here.
- 7pm 16 1/2 hrs in - ty to Sindra & Rhy for helping me look

How'd you flubb it? O.o

Did you dismiss/abandon your Skoll you tamed earlier?

Was it an accident? o.o
