I literally have camped Ankha a cumulative 20 hours combined yesterday and the day before. All I can think is that he spawned while I was sleeping each time. I thought these mobs had at most a 12 hour timer on them. I know yesterday I was in his spawn point for OVER 12 hours and didn't even see his twin, Magria, spawn. Do these cats have an unusually long spawn timer? I got Maggie out of sheer dumb luck, but now that I realized how much I liked her, I decided I wanted her twin and started actively camping Ankha. I have seen literally ONE hunter on my server with Ankha. Either he is a very, very rare spawn on my server or other hunters just don't use him. Anyone else have experience with not seeing Ankha even though you KNOW you camped well beyond his spawn timer?

From what I have read, the spawn rate is 6-17 Hours. It is a shared spawn with Magria also. I found Magria 2 days ago after only camping for about an hour. I started camping again for Ahnka the next morning and didn't see any sign of either of them until this morning. I logged on and Ahnka was waiting for me. They both spawned for me at the bottom of the hill near the portal. Right next to the 2 yellow trees and the fallen log. Good luck!

I've only seen Magria once (mine). I have yet to see Ankha either wild or tamed on Azjol EU. Some people MUST have her but she seems pretty elusive.

You might not see her much due to many of us kinda holding off so we don't trip scanners/macros. >> That said, given some more time I'll rove freely with my spirit beasts.

Yeah I keep away my spirit beasts away in that area as well I use them more in MF..I don't want to give someone false hope.
As time goes by they will see more of their home MH.

My NPC scan seems to go off regardless of whether or not I've seen the tamed mob in the same area. I've had npc scan go off twice for Magria (my OWN Magria at that) even though she was obviously cached. Maybe its because I'm using two rare trackers and one has the mob cached and one doesn't. SilverDragon and NPCscan, respectively. They've worked well for other rares in the past, so I'm hoping they don't let me down when Ankha spawns (or doesn't, depending on the fates.)

Ankha/Magria spawn right behind the butt of that fallen log, next to the yellow tree and the rock next to it...seen one spawn there, and had another spawn literally beneath me there.

Yep. Saw Magria spawn in that exact spot last night. I almost cried. Hours of camping, only to have a pet I already own spawn. Alas, random is random. I'm sitting at the base of log now, totally naked and prepared for Ankha.

On Dragonblight, it is the complete opposite for me. I have seen Ankha 5 times now, helped 3 hunters get him/her and never once seen Magria live, save for 2 hunters the first day of the patch. I have camped all night and had a friend camp most days for the past 15 days, and nothing. I have tamed Ban'thalos, Kirix, Ankha and Kurkin in this time, and seen every rare up other than Deth multiple times. NO sleep for the past week has fried my brain, I feel your pain lol.

I have yet to see either spawn, nor any hunters using them.
Seen every other 4.2 being used, but not them.

I only use Magria on the Molten Front so as not to get people's hopes up for a spawn in Hyjal. As I said in another post, I've only seen 3 hunter using Magria and only one with Ankha. Either they're not using them for the cache mess up reason or they haven't been able to tame them.

So I spoke to a GM about spawn rates on rares. The GM said that, while he couldn't give me exact spawn times since thats a game hint, but he could tell me that the spawn timers have NOT changed at all and they are just completely random. He said it could range from 2 hours to 17 hours. He said it wasn't a hint, just letting me know that I might not want to waste my time there in case Ankha happened to be on his long spawn timer. So at least now I have Blizz proof that the spawn timers were not changed, just that they're completely and utterly random. Ankha or Deth COULD spawn 2 hours after they've already spawned or they could spawn almost a day after their first spawn. Yay for helpful GMs giving honest information instead of just saying everything is a game hin and they can't say anything about it.

Get out!! I'm on DB also and have yet to see Ankha! Magria has been cached for me a couple times, probably hanging around in Org, but I'm super in love with Ankha and just want to tame her to complete my stable!

Timer's 6-17hr. 2hr is only sometimes with Skarr/Karkin.

Im not having any good luck with ankha, having beem camping practically since i could go into firelands for dailies. as of now ive seen easy 10 magrias vs zero ankhas, and 3 banys, which i already have bany and magria.

now i too have 2 scanners: NPC and silverdragon addons, ive notice that when only one of the scanners go off, its more than likely a tamed pet already, odvious if it was still in wild wouldnt both scanners sound off? hmmm... also, if ur in molten front doing dailies and magria, or any other rare spawn that does not spawn in molten front gets ur scanners to go off, then its a hunter with the pet,as ive had npc scanner go off in mount hyjal for kirik.. lol. anyways, be careful those who use 2 scanners, if only one goes off, lets say NPC scan, but not silverdragon, then its a tamed pet.

this info is from my personal experience with using these two scanner addons,

I've seen 4-5 Ankhas in the Wild before I found my Magria. Same for my friend, he's camping Magria now just to constantly find Ankha (at least 3 times in a row now), so complete opposite here

Both cats are making me grumpy. I know you're rarespawns, guys, but GOSH can you hurry up?!

I know i waited 13.7 hours after a Tuesday server down day. So long, so boring..except for the creepy gnome who kept hiding in the bushes next to me, and that was just weird.

Another night wasted only to have Magria spawn instead of Ankha right in front of me. It made the hunter sitting beside me happy (he was just wanting Maggie) but I was crying inside. ANOTHER 12+ hours waste only to have Magria spawn. I might just be a jerk and tame her again if I see her out of spite for her constant, un ending spawning. I will use her for pvp cannon fodder.

(please excuse my occasional bad english. it is not my first language)

Gnomes are awful D:

Ankha seems to be the prevalent one on my server. The other other person I've seem with a Magria other than myself was some guy 2 days ago, I logged on right after he just tamed it.

For some reason hunters like to come up to me when they see me with an old spirit beast out and pull out Ankha and cache her. To which I'm like "OH YEAH?!" and pull out Magria.
