I just hit 85 last night and I was super excited to add Kirix to my family!

I'd been in and out of the Molten Front all day, checking in on Kirix' spawn area and also the area where the clutches of green spiderlings run about without much luck. I did find the spiderlings at one point, but in the process of dismissing my current tame, they despawned and I haven't been able to find them since.

Tired of being smashed by the better geared alliance, I thought I'd venture out to the Sanctuary of Malorne to try my hand at Ban'thalos. After a few unsuccessful attempts at landing on top of the tree, I finally was able to grab a perch. I alt-tabbed out to do a little research on his tame and to do a little reading on the forums. Five minutes later, I tab back in and there he is - flying just out of reach. My heart pounding in my chest I mount, then dismount to set my trap, then mount again... I fly just high enough to fire off an arcane shot (almost a serpent sting in my haste!!) and fall gracefully to my perch on the tree. Ban'thalos glides slowly to my position, amping up for a moonfire bolt, only to be frozen in place by my waiting trap. The tame finished without a hitch and Ban'thalos had become my bonded.




Excited and encouraged by my recent tame, I decided to try my luck again for Kirix. Neither he nor the spiderlings were there, but Deth'tilac was ready and waiting! No hunters nearby, I shot off an arcane shot and began the arduous kite to tame. Another hunter had rode up and joined in almost immediately. We kited him back and forth, before a third hunter spawned on top of us to join the fight. All seemed to be going smoothly, when at 15% the third hunter began to tame him! Dismayed I watched at the timer depleted and Deth became my enemy, an alliance pet. I fired a few shots at the hunter in my anger and was promptly killed. My alliance DK offered a few words, conveying my frustration... nothing unreasonable, and ended up congratulating the hunter in the end. At least I have a timer now, she says...

I checked for my green spiders again - still no luck.

I left the Molten Front and headed back out to Hyjal. When I mounted up, I noticed a yellow dot on my map - probably just another Obsidium Node - but wait! It's moving! Frantically removing my armor, I rushed down to find Ankha recently spawned and prowling the area. I quickly began to tame, her swipes only tickling my armorless body. The sting of losing Deth'tilac had eased some, knowing Ankha had chosen to join me in his stead.



Another hunter stood by, watching the tame. He offered no words of congratulation nor words of scorn... He showed up just as I clicked my tame beast. Whether he felt robbed of the beast or felt nothing, was unclear. He mounted and flew off without saying a thing. I did feel somewhat guilty, especially after what had just happened with Deth'tilac, but the tame had already started when he dropped down on his drake.

Now to continue my search for the elusive Kirix. And names for my new beasts!

Just found Kirix, but was not lucky enough to tame him. Took my shot at it though, and had my rear promptly smashed at 50% tame.

Also just homed Solix on my husband's hunter. He's been waiting for that beauty since 4.2 release! Not a single person in sight, strangely enough. He's a happy camper <3

What a day for rares!

Wow. This almost proves my theory that Ankha or Magria spawns almost immediately after Ban'thalos has somehow been downed (tamed, killed, whatever). That's EXACTLY what happened to me. Ban'thalos. Two hours later, Ankha. Almost two hours on the dot. It was amazing and it made me so happy, considering I'd seen some douche gank Deth from another hunter who had legitimately tagged him and done all the work. I was pretty down about all that until I got these beauties. Next day, I logged in, Deth was there. I alerted the hunter who lost her the previous night, and we got her tamed. She even named her after my hunter. See my thread for a screenie of that happy ending!

If you wan to try and tame the little green spiders if you kill i think it is called Cinderweb Clutchmother in the Forlorn Spire area a TON of the little green guys seem to spawn from the corpse....atleast it seems to happen when i kill them fairly regularly. And Gratz on you new friends

You cannot tame the ones that spawn from the corpses. You have to wait for the fast little suckers that run across the land there. I got it in my head that I needed 2 green spiders for some reason last night, so I looked for these guys. I saw the ones that got spit out of the corpse. Untamable. Then a little group starts rushing past, like they're missing dinner and need to hurry or something, and I tag one with tame beast. It aggros all the other lil guys, but they hit like little girls with tissue paper, so you'll tame them easily once you find them. They're elusive little buggers (pun intentded).
