Ok so on my daily Northrend Beast check-up I went to all of the Spirit Beasts except for Skoll who i usually do last. I went to 2/3 of his spawn points with no luck
. So knowing the odds are against me, I go and fly over to the last spawn point. I was nearly given a heart-attack due to the loud blaring AWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO when my NPC Scan targeted a ALIVE and amazingly blue Skoll. I drop down and start hitting the tame button. I hit it once, then twice, then a third time and -.- nothing happened. SO I checked my talent trees and CRAAAAP forgot to change one of my specs back to BM so I quickly hearth back to SW and run over and change it back. This takes me about 3 minutes to do. Now I get on the boat and sail to Northrend in the next 4 minutes I'm dilly-dallying along taking my time thinking hey!, it's 4 A.M. server nobody will care to look for him now. So I get back to the spot and sure enough, NO SKOLL. I was really pissed because I was camping/flying by for the past like 2 weeks. And he is by far the best looking SB.... :...(
You'll get him next time. My advice to always have a bm off-spec, I actually use mine, lol. BM is my favorite, and not just cause of the epic pets!
