Arcturis, Gondria & Loque in 3 days!
Posted: Wed Jun 01, 2011 7:54 pm
On Saturday, while questing in Grizzly Hills I stopped to camp Arcturis a few times. I got a false hit from a hunter pet, then another hit later on but couldn't find any sign of him, pet or no (strange?), then finally on my 3rd time camping I got my first Spirit Beast! 
I was a couple of bars from 77 later that night and headed to Sholazar, dinging on the way from exploration and mining. Camped Loque till about 2am (11server, US-Blade's Edge), and filled my bags with ore, but no luck. Woke up Sunday morning early and and began again, with occasional breaks to not go crazy. Took the family to the movies in the afternoon, and when I came home headed back to the Basin. Found Loque's corpse...sigh. Another hunter who I met there on Saturday said she was afk to get some food and came back to him dead while she was hovering above the spawn point.
So I took a break for awhile, then went and leveled some more, and looked for Gondria for a bit, with no Luck. Logged on later on and camped till 3am this time. Again nothing....
So I woke up Monday morning early determined to get Loque. Camped all day. Saw Krush spawn and get killed twice (didn't want him so it was ok...) and Aotona spawn once and share the same fate. Meanwhile, my wife was cruising Northrend looking for rares to finish her achievement. While cruising thru Zul'drak she found Gondria and protected it for me till I could get there (really need to get epic flying on this toon!) My second Spirit Beast!
I came back to the Basin and met the same hunter there again from the day before. She told me she was on till 3am server and nothing. I was on at 5:30am server and hadn't seen any sign of Loque since then either. He was playing hard to get today. Told my camping companion about Krush and Aotona. She was bummed cause she wanted the pretty bird too. So onto more camping...At about 2:45pm server I came across Aotona again. Quickly whispered and led the other hunter to it and watched a happy new tame!
OK... now it was my turn... I hoped. Took off on a another loop around the spawn points and at 2:58pm (barely 10mins later!) server I got my Loque!
