Some advice, if you- WOW! Never mind!

Unread post by Varethyn »

Yup, me again. But not to worry, I won't be pestering you lot as much in the near future ;) Which is actually the point of this post.
I'm eager to fill up Kwillix's green team, and now that he's just hit lv84 his new target is a green Madexx. Of course I'm highly aware of the difficulty of camping one specific colour Madexx. Yes I'm referring to Pent's rants :P
The problem I have right now is, next week I will be starting a 10-week job placement and so I'll have a lot less time than I currently do to search. And before anyone pipes up I am also very aware that people have even less time than that ;)
Simply put I have 2 full days before I begin my placement. Should I continue the Madexx camp over those 2 days and see what pops up or should I get to 85 and work on the other greenies (and Ghostcrawler), leaving the mega-Madexx-camp for after the placement? I currently have a green scorpid placeholder but I do love Madexx's model.
Thanks in advance.


Never mind, found him while I was questing in Uldum :D

With your limited time, I say finish up leveling and work on the other greenies. you can always make it a point to end up your day at one of the Uldum madexx points so that when you first sign on you can check, and just before you sign off you can check. Then the rest of the time you continue with your others, leveling and getting your other pets.

End and begin you day at a spawn and do one quick fly around before you go off and do other stuff. This strategy has worked very well for some people. It will also allow you have time to finish off the other things you want him.

Agreed. I have multiple rares, and they all were log out / log in the spot, and a quick swing round if in the area. Stationary camping drives people crazy (and has proved fruitless for me)

This is, pretty much word for word, what I would suggest.

If it was a question of only green Madexx missing from your stables, I'd suggest you camp him until the cows come home. But as you have others that need a home, you might as well concentrate on them and leveling for now, with occasional Uldum sweeps.

Thanks for the input guys.
I was kinda leaning towards that method, but really wanted suggestions for was whether to all-out camp while I have 2 days to do so or just put it right off til after the 10 weeks, with the odd check-ups. Guess its because old habits die hard; except a few who were waiting for me I've only ever camped. Never done occassional fly-bys :)
I'll all-out camp for the rest of this evening, to see what pops up, then get back to levelling over the weekend.

Thanks all :)
Have to say it was really quite tense... I'd forgotten that green Madexx was cached already so I flipped when I saw him scuttling about without warning. Equally without warning he despawned when I got close! O.o Flew away and circled a bit, fretting and whispering to myself "ohgodohgodohgod" and he eventually popped up again... but that was weird. Stupid phase bugs. I also feel a few guildies put me on temporary ignore cos of my squeals of joy >_>"
If it helps I found him on the west side of the desert headed north, at about 22:40-odd server time :)
