If you check out every spawn point for Arcturis, Loque, and Gondria right now you will get one, maybe two. The wolf is a bit harder since it shares the route for time lost and there are still plenty of people camping that who will kill it for kicks.<br /><br />If not, put a hunter at the single Arcturis point and log in occasionally. No waiting.<br /><br />I also got Ghostcrawler in minimal time a month ago.<br /><br />Other than fishing, I have little patience for sitting, as well. Although an episode of "this American Life" or "The Moth" Podcast helps.Bristalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11849907713604626977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-83823401729104653992012-04-25T19:41:50.174-04:002012-04-25T19:41:50.174-04:00Pets are still going to be account-bound?

I do not mind waiting some...I have 155 of them. ;)<br /><br />I do not mind waiting some time, just not waiting days on end.<br /><br />I farmed, if you can call it that, time lost for over 6 months. I would fly the route picking herbs while waiting in queue. I also looked for the other rares and the tame. In 6 months I never saw any rares, none. Not even the ones I was not looking for.<br /><br />Sorry, but that is not my style of game play. There is no fun in waiting for something every day for 6 months and not seeing anything. No time lost, nothing for frostbitten, no spirit beast.<br /><br />There is good luck, bad luck and then my luck.<br /><br />They might end up being rare as in the new style of rare, like all the old world rares, they spawn usually less then 1 hour after being killed.<br /><br />I will not mind waiting an hour to get it. I will not go for another 6 months day in and day out every single day I play for nothing. <br /><br />Sorry if I do not think that is fun. But I would be willing to bet most people would agree with me that standing around looking for a spawn every day for 6 months is not fun.<br /><br />As long as there is an achievement for finding all the rares, I will have to find all the rares. Simple as that.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-40636047470462633302012-04-25T08:16:55.441-04:002012-04-25T08:16:55.441-04:00I will go out on a limb here: rare pets will mean ...I will go out on a limb here: rare pets will mean you will have to do some work, but not having them will not stop you achieving most stuff in battles that earns you the points.<br /><br />I have never camped a single spawn EVER, but I got all of the Spirit Beasts simply by building their spawn points into another routine (Frostbitten, as it happens) If you build these hunts into your routine while waiting for LFR to pop or LFG, or when questing or gathering, I bet you'll be surprised how many you can capture.<br /><br />Just be grateful you don't have 180 plus of the buggers to name before the expansion goes live :pMoveable Presshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09142421045872583295noreply@blogger.com
