Arcturis gave me stress

Hi there I'm Jarpe, I'm almost sure Arcturis has no interest in most of you but I'm gonna tell my story anyway.

It's 02:00 I'm getting bored about doing dungeons to level because I'm too lazy to quest sometimes, Anyway I stood in Grizzly hills to make sure I would be there at level 74 just in case Arcturis would appear, I was getting tired about to log out when i decided to fly over at his spawn point and take a look. I wasn't playing with in-game sound and I had the volume on almost max on my headphones without noticing, Anyway BAM BAAAAAAAAM NPCscan wen't off and said ARCTURIS U MAD? (Okay no it didn't but let's just say it did) While I'm trying to get back up on my chair from the floor and the shock the NPCscan noise made me, I sat down and this is here I freak out not only because I'm happy to see him but because I realised I was missing over 30% xp to level up to 74, I rushed on my mount to Conquest Hold to obtain some quests, while panicing around doing quests many thoughts hit me at the same time "What if someone tames him!! What if he despawns!" To make myself more calm I checked "who" for anyone none there startede to calm till I remembered that there is more than one faction. And that I had seen a NE hunter few hours earlier camping him.

It's not 02:18 still missing around 18% xp (around 4-3 bars) While i continuely freak out some more because I'm afraid I won't make it I talked to a hunter from my guild who had gotten Loque'nahak (lucky bastard) earlier tried to calm me I wasn't really convinced about if I was going to make it.

I finally delivered the last quest sitting there waiting for my hunter to get surounded by golden light and the tet level up! nothing came up and I looked at my xp bar and It was SO close so I flew all I could to Arcturis spawn spot killed 2 bears dinged ran up to his hill,

And there he was, calm and untouched, I was SO happy and it felt like the tame-bar was moving with 30 seconds instead of 10, when I tamed him I was so happy my very first actual rare pet Arcturis! I might get flamed for being a lucky bastard but I think waiting 1 hour or longer is the same as not being able to tame a rare pet you just found and have to go with the fear of him getting stolen from you.

Well that was my story I know I'm new here and I know my grammar isn't perfect but I wanted to share the story with you because I love this forum! (btw I have been lurking alot here before I made my account)

Jarpe out! Oh by the way here's a pic of me and him.

Aww, that's wonderful that he waited for you! I can only imagine the adrenaline induced panic of rushing to level while a rare sits there out in the open. Congrats on your tame! It seems pretty fated to me. ^^

Thank you so much! (I'm not kneeling actually I'm just exhausted ;D )

And yes it was a very exhausting situation but I made it and I'm so happy :D

Oh my goodness, major congrats on your tame! That silly bear eluded me for the longest time; his camp was far worse than Loque's! I'm glad to see that he's not so mean and cruel to absolutely everyone!

Congrats on the tame! Wow what a story! I have yet to tame this beautiful thing. He looks great next to your character, I always picture bears masculine in some shape or form, so your orc looks terrific. :mrgreen:
