This is SO Right

"What is so right?", you may ask. Well, a female, Blood Elf, hunter with Loque'nahak as her pet is. And she reads our blog too!

Chaaron sent us her story on the hunt for Loque. Here it is:

I've spent every day since the first week of December standing in the same spot in SB. I saw Loque dead once, skinned him and received the cloak. Nice trophy but I'd rather have the pet!

I've spent up to 6 hours at a time in the same spot over the past several weeks. I log out every night in SB, in the same spot.

Jan 29 was my lucky day! I was running some errands around town and swung by Baja Fresh for some lunch. Got home, unwrapped my burrito, took a big bite and logged in to the game.

I logged in to Aerie Peak at 4:58 pm. I noticed my mini map first and a yellow dot where there isn't normally a yellow dot. I knew it was Loque. I didn't see him though! I hit my macro and sure enough, Loque was targeted! I actually tossed the burrito I was holding onto the table, scattering black beans and tried to stay calm. Loque was walking underneath me as I stood on a small hill (71,72).

I was so excited I forgot what to do! Oh yeah.... abandon pet, abandon pet! I hit Loque with an ice trap and a gorilla started beating on me. I abandoned my tiger as Loque broke free of his ice trap. He too started hitting me but I had a tame on him. I watched my health drop as my tame wound down. Oh dear, was it all about to go horribly wrong?

And then a Death Knight came down from the skies. Was he going to kill my treasure? Then an Ally hunter swooped down, the same Ally hunter whom had been harassing me for days with his antics but it was all over. Loque was mine ! First thing I did was send him after that Hardknuckle! Next I spammed my guild with an all caps "LOQUE IS MINE"!

I fed the Beast, posed for pictures and then renamed him, "Loki". I thought I had a solid plan, knew exactly what steps to take when I finally spotted the Beast - let me tell you I didn't remember not one step of my plan! It happened so fast and my heart was pounding so hard!

I renamed him soon after, I felt he deserved a strong name with meaning. He is now named "Matthiessen" in honor of Peter Matthiessen, the author who spent two months tracking the elusive Snow Leopard in the Himalayas.

My advice for hunters still hoping - it WILL happen to you also, pick one spawn point and stay there. This was the third time Loque was sighted at this spot at around 5:00 pm. Be patient and you shall be rewarded!

I am a believer in karma so now whenever I attempt to obtain a rare item (such as the reins of the ravenlord mount) I go to Baja Fresh for lunch! It hasn't worked again but no harm in trying!

Thanks for all of the stories you've shared.

Thank you too for your story, Chaaron.
