Skarr + Karkin: The Speedy Rares of the Molten Front

My method for taming Karkin (50959) and Skarr (50815) is to Silencing Shot, pop Deterrence, and then Tame Beast. With enough haste and/or the right speed of button mashing, this method will work because of the downtime of their Fieroclast Barrage casts. I would HIGHLY recommend having a high haste rating for these tames, as it will cause Tame Beast to cast more quickly, which is definitely needed for these tames. Either reforge, buy haste gear from the auction house, use haste on use trinkets, or simply buy food and potions that give you haste to up your haste rating. They both spawn on Fireplume Ridge, Karkin spawning closer to Ragnaros' Reach, and Skarr spawning closer to The Furnace. Both pets are non-exotic, and can be tamed by any hunter. They are all level 85, and cannot be found unless you have completed up to the quest Tortolla's Revenge in Mount Hyjal, and have started the daily questline at the Sanctuary of Malorne far enough to get into the Molten Front through the portal in the Regrowth. The portal opens after you turn in your first set of 20 Marks of the World Tree.

I've added a map here with all of their names and images, as well as a dot for where each of them spawn that is color coordinated with the ring around their image. I hope this helps in locating them for some. I put the dots this way, as I did not want to stack them on top of each other, but the two rares DO switch spots from time to time. I've just seen them this way more often. That doesn't mean you shouldn't check both though, as I happened to tame both personally on Karkin's white dot.

Sambas + Karoma: The Rares of Twilight Highlands

Sambas (50159) is the newest rare spawn lion in World of Warcraft. Sambas is a level 85 Cat in Twilight Highlands. I found the tame to be fairly easy myself. I just used the Freezing Trap and tame method, avoiding all damage from him. He is a non-exotic pet, and can be tamed and used by all hunters.

Karoma (50138) is a rare Spirit Beast from Twilight Highlands. He spawns relatively around the center of the map, around the big purple starfish looking thing, as well as some spawn points in the south. He is a spectral wolf that is a light blue color. He is a hostile mob, so be careful when you approach him. I used the Freezing Trap and tame method on him, placing the trap in the path of where he would run for Tame Beast. It worked like a charm. He is a level 85 Spirit Beast, and he is exotic, and therefore requires the Beast Mastery tree to tame.

Ghostcrawler, Madexx + Jadefang: The Random Cataclysm-Zone Rares

Ghostcrawler (50051) is a level 85 Spirit Beast. He hits really hard, and cannot be trapped or slowed. To tame him, just pop Deterrence and then tame. He is a neutral mob, and wanders around the Abandoned Reef. At times, he can go invisible, so keeping track beasts on and try to follow him in order to find him. It's pretty grey down there, so his blue sparkly shell should show up pretty well. He is an exotic pet, and requires the Beast Mastery tree to tame.

Madexx is an interesting fellow. He comes in a five different colors, and is a level 84 Skorpid that spawns in Uldum. He is a non-exotic pet, and can be tamed by all hunters. I used the Freezing Trap and tame trick on him. And it worked like a charm.

Jadefang (49822) is a level 85 Shale Spider in the Crumbling Depths of Deepholm. I camped Jadefang for about 8 hours (12 pm to 8 pm), and did the DC method to get onto his ledge (9/13/11,  it still works). To get onto his ledge WITHOUT the daily, you need to ride in on a flying mount while auto-running. I did this on a 280% mount. About a second after I got past the mouth of the cave, I disconnected my internet and went to the LEFT at the first tunnel fork. Then once in the room with the floating rock particles, you should see a ledge up to the left hand side. Fly towards that and about 15-20 yards from it, reconnect to the internet. As soon as you land, /reload to reload your UI. If you did this right, you should see purple shale spiders walking around you. If not, you will disconnect and need to try again. It took me a few times to get this right. Another method is to wait for the daily Underground Economy, found inside the cave from a goblin named Ricket. To use this method, you will want to go to the right at the first fork this time, then continue past the dead end into the room with the floating rock particles. Continue straight into the tunnel to the left. Take the first left you see out of that tunnel, and you should be on a ledge looking up at a ledge a little higher than your reach. What you want to do is position yourself so that if something blew you up, you would fly directly onto this ledge. Place the quest item bomb down in front of you, and you should fly backwards onto the ledge. If it doesn't work the first time, just try again. Patience is key with this tame. Once you are in the cave with him, just pop Deterrence and tame. He is immune to traps, so you'll just have to take him head on. Jadefang is a Shale Spider, which means he is exotic and requires the Beast Mastery tree to tame.


I've added three maps here with all of their names and images, as well as a dot for where each of them spawn that is color coordinated with the ring around their image. I hope this helps in locating them for some.
