Madexx Stood in the Fire

Personally this has become one of my more epic and surprising tames. Yesterday, I spent the majority of the day hunting in the deserts of Uldum, flying over the wastelands in search of the monstrous scorpion Madexx.

Hours passed without any track or trace of this beast anywhere. I had been keeping a constant look out between using eagle eye, whispering passerby people, flying the wastes and camping his known spawn location. Two am rolled around, after nine hours of camping and fatigue finally set in. I called it a night, and decided to continue the following morning.

So, this morning rolls around at 7am, my alarm singing. I was hesitant to get out of bed because of how cold it was, but something told me to do a quick check of Madexx's spawn locations. So, alas I logged in ... to a red sky and a thunderous roar.

Deathwing...
The dragon tore through the area and killed me (for a third time I may add). I had desperately tied to escape by flying up and behind him but was too slow... Slightly frustrated with my new repair bill, I flew back to my body and ressed. Surely nothing would have survived that... even if Madexx was around he was dead now. Well that's when NPC scan proved me wrong.

More alarms blaring, I turn and look and there he is... walking out from the fires that Deathwing set across the wasteland. In my panic I didn't get a good screen shot of him coming out of the fire, but got one during the tame.

So, Madexx is my new firewalker. I was hoping for the blue skin, but in the epic display of how this beast presented himself, I will be keeping the black and red skin with no regrets :3


PS: I had the mini map up so you can see where He was wandering ^^

That sounds simply movie worthy. Awesome! Such an epic way to conclude the camping, and hey, you could say that he was blue before the fire and survived with a charred shell. xD He's just that devoted to finding you - he'll walk through fires!

Amazing story! His theme song should be "Cool Guys Don't Look At Explosions" by the Lonely Island, since he obviously pulled off that movie cliche after Deathwing fried the zone!

Darkmoon I really like your Idea ^^ Works well for what had happened. Also, couldn't resist looking up that song... and I laughed.

Well, all I can say is mega rofl. I decided to start camping for blue Madexx and not 10min later the sky goes red and along comes Deathy for my second death in his flames. Was kinda glad as the first time I wasn't even at the computer, just came back to a dead hunter and one achive.

No sign of Madexx though.

You'll find him Celi ^^
Hopefully not burned to a crisp though. Deathwing seems to have it out for Uldum.
Check around the early mornings when less people are active. For the most part that is when I have come across my rares. :)
Best of luck!

Madexx: "Okay, I survived Deathwing, now there's no way anyone can k-"
"F-K. A hunter."

Luck is needed as an alliance hunter on Blackrock. And the beauty of my server, there's no such thing as a less active time. It's the server that never sleeps.

But the only rare I've ever wanted and which has escaped me, was Araga on my alliance hunter. I had her on my original troll hunter way back when she had her pretty tail :cry:

That's amazing! Congratulations!!!!

I originally wanted the blue skin too- got the black skin as well and I've decided I love it- particularly the blue stinger!
