So straight to the data. My tame happened at 11:45 server. Now I am 85% sure that the spawn timer is a 6 hour timer, the past spawn times for Skarr and Karkin were (going back in time)-
S meaning Skarr spawned
K meaning Karkin spawned
U meaning unknown
5:20K pm, missed the one before that due to server being down, 12:15K am, 6:00K pm, 12:40S pm, 12:35K pm, 5:00U am, (from this point on it was before a server reset and we were getting very strange spawn times so don’t take theses too serious), 1:30S am, 10:40S am, 10:49U pm, 6:00U pm, 2:00U am, 12:10S am, 9:30U pm, 6:00U pm, 11:00U am, 11:57S pm.
Now there are two spawn points for either Skarr or Karkin, the 1st and easiest to get to is on the rocks leading up to Fireplume Peak (http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww13 ... Skarr2.png) and up on said Rock on the east side (http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww13 ... Skarr3.png) this is were i got mine.
The trick to taming Skarr (dono if this works with Karkin as I don’t want him) is to 1st be MM spec, it doesn't matter if it’s a pvp, pve or extreme soloing spec, you need Silencing Shot, 2nd is u need a macro (/cast deterrence /cast Tame Beast) and 3rd the addon NPC Scan (http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addo ... cscan.aspx) NPC ID # is 50815. Start off with engage him by casting Tame Beast, this will force him to start the cast on his big hitting spell (can knock off 66% of your HP). You will need to interrupt this with Silencing Shot, then hit your tame beast deterrence macro and he's all yours.
Now that you know the basic method Ill tell you how I got him and the 2 min buff that helps you out with this. On Fireplume Peak there are air vents that cause you to jump high. Well there are a few special one that if u jump from and land on Fireplume Peak you get a 2 min buff (http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww13 ... Skarr4.png) I've found 4 (http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww13 ... Skarr1.png) of theses vents. One of them isn't worth bothering with as you have to jump off of Fireplume Peak to use it, one of them is hard to aim and use, but the other two are the ones you want to know about. The one I used (http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww13 ... Skarr5.jpg) is, IMO the best spot to be to camp him, alliance cant get to you and u are with in jumping distance of both span points. I recommend practicing jumping with theses air vents, the better you get at aiming with them the better off you'll be.
Now for my taming story. I started camping Skarr last Thursday (June 30th) I had just missed out on taming him cause I didn’t know what I was doing (IE I got killed by him). So I sat there thinking, "ok, it shouldn’t be too long of a spawn timer. Well over the cores of 4 hours of sitting there I started talking to other hunters out there, BSing bout firelands and our favorite pets, it was during this time I learned about how K (code name for one of the hunters) got robbed of her tame earlier that day by alliance killing Skarr and M (another code name) lost hers by a fellow horde killing him (it was a hunter too which is sad
). So when it came time for bed that night I asked them to let me know when he spawns so I can keep track of times (hadn't planed on making this post at the time). Come Saturday I had decide to pass on Skarr to K and M if they were on and at Fireplume when he spawned wanting to be a nice wow player and nice hunter friend, As the days went by with me missing out on him spawning by a late or early log or being at the wrong spawn point (this was before I added Skarr to my NPC Scan) I had made more hunter friends who by now have gotten there Skarr's. Well M was able to get hers one day while I was at work and Monday (July 4th) morning K got hers, do now it was my turn. Unfortunately the next 3 spawns were Karkin and since the weekend we've had alliance pvping us around the spawn times, but luckily there was 3-5 of us hunters chilling around chatting it up to not make it a big problem most of the time. Well come Tuesday night I had logged off in front of the first spawn point after my guild's raid and when I logged on I got pvped by this night elf hunter (hard to combat a BM hunter as MM >.<). Well he killed me a 2nd time and by then K had come out to wait for the spawn with me. We fought off the Night elf and this mage for about 7 minutes until more people came that were out to kill alliance. So there we were fighting off the alliance that were up on Fireplume and us down below. Then my NPC scan went off, I started getting that adrenaline rush you get at time like this. I hit the NPC scan targeter, Skarr was up top on the second spawn point. So I ran over to the rock to get up and made my way up to the rock I used (see data above for said rock) and jumped over towards Skarr and got my buff. I ran over to him with no alliance around, I targeted him and did the taming method and as the cast time was ticking I began to shake from the joy and fear, then BAM he was mine, hands shaking I typed in guild then party chat that I got Skarr. By far one of my most happiest moments in World of Warcraft.Laughing Skull Server.
