Well after 2 days of solid camping i have arcturis!!!
Gaze in glory at Patience!
I forgot to look at my clock to check the time he spawned but the tame finished at 10:58pm GMT (11:58pm Server time) on Silvermoon-EU. Since i started taming the SECOND the bugger spawned i assume he spawned at either 10:57 or 10:58pm GMT.
I have been in this spot for around 14 hours yesterday. Then at 5am i went to sleep. Woke up at 10am and have been camping ever since. So its possible he spawned between 5am and 10am and someone killed him. That would mean he has around a 12 - 14 hour spawn. Im just so happy i finally have him

His spawn is much longer than 12 - 14 hrs. Thats bare minimum for him. I had a friend wait 72 hrs straight for him......and he got stolen by someone from the same faction(like literally swooped down, pull aggro from her, and tame him). I've camed him 3 times. He's always spawned between 24 - 28 hrs for me.
Grats on your tame though!

Grats!
I had him spawn after a 21 hour camp (i literally went to bed 3-4 minutes before he spawned but my friend who camped with me tamed him) and then exactly with only a few minutes between, 24hours later which i managed to nab cause the only other hunter (ally side so i couldnt talk to her) had entered a dungeon some minutes before he popped (i went to ally side to let her know i tamed)
Hes so gorgeous, he and Karoma are my absolute top favorites for spirit beasts but skoll rides up super close to the top fav label xD

Well it is possible he didnt spawn at all and i was the first to get him. I hope thats true as i hate it when people kill spirit beasts. They deserve a life as a loved Hunter pet, not as some mindless idiot's epeen enlarger as he kills them.
If i couldnt tame him i just wish another Hunter could. I did tame him and he will see lots of love and use with me though

Already ran 4 dungeons and 9 BGs and in EVERY one, without fail, someone has whispered "WoW! Cool pet! Where did you get him"?
I think its because when people think "Spirit Beast" They imediatly think of Skoll or Loque. Arcturis is very unique as he is an actual spirit with no body and smoke just pours off him. Hes also very rare, i'd say rarer than Loque since Arcturis;s spawn point is RIGHT outside an alliance town and RIGHT in the middle of a Horde/Alliance questing area.

Yea he is much rarer at least, for horde side on wyrmrest because he sits beside an ally camp. Impossible to tag and hold him down unless you drag him far away from any quest spots and open field-- i held him down once only to have a human swoop down and shadowbolt him to death and fly away /cackling at me :/ Was going to be a gift for my guild master too... ive successfully homed 2 spirit beasts, krush, and gezzerak to her :3

Congratulations! I've never seen him in the...errr...flesh, but I haven't really been looking actively. I fear the day that one of my alts dings 74, since this is what I'll have to go through! Dwarves DO look great with Arc though.

Nice to see you got yours, still waiting here, over the past week or so I've done 50+ hours worth of camping and nothing. Anyway, grats on the tame
EDIT: One question, where did he spawn exactly ? So I know where I should be sitting when he finally spawns (if ever).

So he spawned just above the set of three trees on the side of Amberpine ? Ok cool

Hopefully I'll get him soon.
