I’d been camping about 4 hours and counting (6 including breaks for tv, bathroom, life, etc.) and I thought, “Wow, this is taking a long time.” so I downloaded some addons from WoWmatrix and Curse (“_NPCScan,” “ESN_Rare”, “Rare Spawn Overlay”) and had macro’d /target Loque’nahak to my first action bar button and was spamming it like crazy as I was flying around. I quickly circled around until I retargeted her and then went in for the kill. I recommend using Wowmatrix for all of your addons anyway, and it’s definitely in there.Īotona was a good distance away, and only was targeted by my macro for a second, but Rare Finder sounded an alarm and put a message into my chat screen showing what I’d targeted. I’d link to it, but I’m not finding it on Curse or WoWInterface at the moment. Rare Finder is a nice addon to have if you’re serious about finding one of these pets or completing the Frostbitten achievement. Also, be sure to mash yer macro when patrolling the area. If you’re looking for any of the rare beasties in Sholazar I hope this helps. Wowhead shows additional spawn points, but I dunno. I’ve personally only seen him in 2 places in the basin, but I’ve viewed screenshots that definitely show him by The Maker’s Perch and Nesingwary Camp.Īotona I’ve only seen twice, and both encounters were in the spot I’ve noted on the map. The same goes for the King Krush locations. There may be more, but I can’t put my stamp of approval on those. The Loque’nahak icons on the map represent locations I feel are legit.
I thought, ooohhh… bonus! Here’s what happened next. Instead Loque popped up right in front of me. He had been killed roughly 12 hours earlier, so I decided to return 12 hours later hoping he’d respawn. It is possible, because it just so happened that the time I did manage to find Loque’nahak I was actually waiting for Krush. Knowing when the other rares are up or have despawned may help to narrow down possible respawn times. I can’t confirm or deny, but some people seem to think that the spawn times between the rares are connected in some way. I took my original map of Loque’s spawn points and added King Krush and Aotona to the mix. The new map contains my route, as well as some additional spots you may want to check for other rares in the Basin. Well, because it’s been awhile since I posted on the subject, I decided to throw together an updated map for Fushae and the other folks at home. When commenting on yesterday’s post about Aotona, one of my readers asked me to share the path I used to patrol for Loque’nahak.
