Skitterflame is mine!

Unread post by Ëlfdragon »

So, after getting Kirix earlier, I continued my camp for Skitter. I camped for 4 hours, but then had to go raid. The raid started an hour late, but we still did good, got the council down and some good attempts on Cho'gall (first time getting to him). After the raid I rushed back to my camp spot, and sat for Half an hour to 45 minutes when...OMG THERE HE IS! I messed up at first, launching my trap alittle to far and hitting him with it, good thing they dont aggro anymore! So, I sat there, waiting, listening to my guildies who were still on vent tell me I could do it, one joking about how I already messed up. So, my frost trap came off CD, I launched it by the edge of the pool, making sure it was far enough away. While waiting on the 2nd CD, some guildies asking me if I needed help, and I (as calmly as I could) told them I did not. Freezing Trap came off CD again and I pulled him into the first one, and launched the next one infront of him. First one broke, and he went into the second one, and I looked for Scare Beast, and...OH CRAP! Its not on my bars! Quickly, I found it in my spell book and threw it in my bars (didnt want the spell book blocking some of my screen) and hit it the moment he started running towards me. I place a ice trap in his path, and waited for the fear to wear off. I watched, mouse waiting on the deterrence button...He hit 18% energy, and I hit deterrence and hit tame, 10 seconds later, he's mine, just as another hunter arrived.

2 rare pets in one day, I've never been so lucky!

Another note, right as I started to hearth to Stormwind to show my guildies who I was so worked up about, a hunter, who I had talked to after getting Kirix and knew I was after Skitter (and that he was up), whispered me to tell me Skitter was up. I thanked him and told him that I had just tamed him.

Congrats.

Just logged in (I had logged out in the area in the hopes of getting Skarr), and when I looked around, I saw him. I ran over, and as I was getting ready, a hordie pulled him to tame. I had not read any tactics on how to tame him, so I say back and watched how it went. Hordie died (or FD, not sure), and he resets. So now it is my turn. I figured out the "wait for cool-down" thing, but not the scare beast one. It went back and forth several times, even with another horde hunter showing up. Regretfully, I put down a third trap at one point, it took up too much energy, and he died. :-( Oh well, I will know for next time!

...And I got him.

Same thing as before. I had logged out in the area, and had gone to leveling another hunter. I came across a rare spawn (non-pet) in Northrend, and since my main is also an achiv collector, I hopped over to get it. Just before I hearthed out, I decided a quick look around was in order. And behold, there was Skitterflame again.

I made my way over, having to make my way through a couple of mobs first, and found that I was alone. I quickly made sure that what I needed was on my toolbars, dismissed my Turtle, and started setting up.

2 ice traps and a scare beast, and he was mine.

Now, about that cat.....

Grats, and the same time you say? Maybe I'll be able to get my brother Skitterflame tonight then.

Not the same time. Regretfully, I did not note the times for either one, but I would say it was about 10 hours apart. Skarr is really the only one that I REALLY want from the 4.2 pets, although one of the spiders is nice. I just do not do much pvp, so I am not sure how much he will get out to play. That, and I need to figure out a name now.

On an aside, I saw a hordie on my server that had tamed Skarr, and then named it Skarr. Then hung out in the area, getting the allies hopes up that it had spawned...

Ah, ok, well, im still camping for my brother while he finishes his dailys. And uhg, i hate when people do that...Not name the pet the same as the NPC then sit at their spawn site, just naming their pet the same as the NPC bugs me to no end! Its just as bad as people naming themselves after their class (Ex: Belfdk, blooddk) or a NPC in-game of that Class (Ex: A DK named Arthas (or anything close to that name) or Lichking (or anything close). I'll stop now before i go anymore off topic.
