Which Spirit Beast is "easier" to find?

Hello everyone! I have my fav SB since months now, Skoll and Loque, but I would like to have more!
Which is 'easier' to get? I don't have so much time for long camping. Any suggestions would be nice!

Well, there's Arcturis. One spawn point, but the trade off is his hella long respawn timer. I think anywhere between 20 to 24h, but you can park yourself there without having move spawn points every now and again.
Now for Gondria, I have a weird luck streak with finding her. Her spawn points are fairly easy to circle you can do quickly. \o/
I'd give a pass on Karoma for now. I found her by sheer dumb luck. She had spawned right as I finished a heroic. Although if you like competition and shiny ghost puppies, go for it!
Ghostcrawler, I will actually say is likely the easiest. I rarely find anyone else camping him and his path is easy to follow. Hope you don't freak out over deep water like I do. D:

Hmmm... Gondria is often one that people find a lot. Karoma I've found many times, as well - I think Karoma and Ghostcrawler would be the "easiest", because Wrath rares suck. They're just mean. Cata ones seem more common. Ghostcrawler is the easiest, though, because of his very low-population spawn spot.

I was thinking about Ghostcrawler "Crabby" too
Gondria would be so nice, she's my favourite one after Skoll and Loque.
Karoma (and Sambas) would be also nice, but everytime I go after them I see 5-6 "punks" messages of Carbonite, so chances they're there are very small

Ghostcrawler is by far easiest if you dont want to camp
Arcturis is easiest if you just park down by the creeks edge and watch the hill where the stags are roaming around (be prepared to camp for 12+ hours too, he doesnt like to pop very much ive found lol)
Gondria is in a near-deserted zone now, ive found many people dont like Zul'Drak at all and on my server, its always almost completely abandoned and her spawn points are easy to fly over, only taking a couple minutes for a complete patrol
Karoma is very hard. Everyone is in the Cata zones now, Crubical of Carnage, the herbs/ores, the lvl 85 content, Sambas.... they all bring players of both sides into the zone and its a very small zone to top it off. Her spawns are close together but to patrol them is akward and theres always that paranoia that shes at another spot and your scrambling around on your mount trying to be thourogh :S Most of her tames have been through luck, long days of camping, or a generous person who stumbled upon her and kept her safe till tamed

For me, Skoll is definitely the easiest to find T_T I have found that dog maybe 16 times. Right now my SilverDragon has him cached 9 times >_<!! Everytime I go into that freakin' zone, that dog is waiting there for me.
He's been rehomed so many times, no one wants him anymore!!
Another one that is easy to find is Ghostcrawler. Found him twice just by cruisin' by to see what was up. No one was camping, and there were less then 3 people in the zone both times!
And then probably Karoma for the 2rd easiest. I keep finding him by complete accident, same as Skoll >_<! Currently, he's cached in my SilverDragon 6 times T_T!
The easiest one to camp is definitely Arcturis. Sit on the hill and watch a movie or three! Easy stuff =P

Thanks so much for your help

I'm after Ghost now, a tauren hunter was AFK but now she's gone, so he has to spawn I think. Let's see

Truthfully? None are but I guess if I had to scale....Ghostcrawler at lvl 85 is easiest just due to his location.

And the fact he'll pretty much murderize anyone who tries to kill him.

Well, if we are going by personal experience and luck, I found Arcturis without even trying, I decided I wanted him, flew to his spawn, and tamed him. No camping, no fuss. My other SB's tames were: Skoll-~6 hrs, Gondria-~3 hrs, Loque'nahak-6 days.

I think it'd definitely be worth doing a skim of Northrend rares if you prefer those to Ghostcrawler. ^^ I literally tamed Aotona and did a skim of Zul'Drak and found Gondria on my first go, no problems, now Cata is here. But honestly, even if you're not into a full-blown camp - if you're willing to put a small amount of time into it, or log on and off at the zones, you should be able to pick up the NR ones you don't have very easily.

i have all of the spirit beasts!!!... again
Loque was hardest, Articus was there by luck, Karoma, i found him my first morning doing a farming run
Ghostcrawler was by far the most easy, not 5 minutes after i hit 85 i wandered what was over in the abandoned reef and who did i see doing a little crab dance? lol
Skoll was easier than heck to get in wrath i gave him to my friends about 15-20 times, when i tried to find him in cata it took me almost 2 weeks,
Gondria... i found her when i was on my way to get articus... so yey!

From easiest to hardest:
Gondria --> Ghostcrawler --> Loque'nahak --> Arcturis --> Skoll --> Karoma
I have found Gondria 8 times, Ghostcrawler 3 times (all of them, none in the area save me mining obsidium), Loque'nahak 5 times, Arcturis times, Skoll and Karoma two times.

If you wanna look at it seriously, they're all about the same difficulty. What people are telling you now is personal experience - which can vary depending on server, time, expansion, the popularity of the pet, and what you ate for breakfast, among other things.
My two copper: pick a pet you really like, and sit out there until it shows up. Unless you are absurdly lucky or play in a ghost town, the odds of tripping over SBs left and right are pretty slim - they're called 'rare' for a reason. I spent about a day looking for Loque non-stop, a day for Gondria non-stop, and a week for Karoma with regular sleep/food/whine on the forums breaks and two days lazily looking for Ghostcrawler. Just pick one, find a book, and sit down and wait. :)

Runetotem EU is a high populated realm so at the abandoned reef there's always some hunter camping.
I think I'll pick Gondria. I love saber kitties!

Gondria and Arcturis are good to go after since they're close. Park on Arcturis's spawn, then hop up to Zul Drak for a lap or two every now and then. One of them should pop eventually.

I would have to agree with anyone saying Arcturis because it is literally sitting n his spawn point until he spawns no running around and such.
