While waiting in the queue for last night’s random heroic, I decided to take a trip to the Twilight Highlands to buy a leatherworking recipe or two, and just maybe… get a bead on Sambas. This cat had eluded me for a long time – up until last night.<\/p>\n
When patrolling for Sambas, I’d usually just take one swoop through the Twilight Laglands, starting at the southern-most spot by Victor’s Point, heading NE up past Thundermar, then cutting due east to his eastern-most spawn location. I’d performed this patrol a few times per week since I’d hit 85. After awhile of not seeing him, then watching other hunters traipse around with him in BGs and in SW, I started to lose interest – seeing as he was quickly becoming a common, uncommon<\/em> (ie: rare) pet.<\/p>\n However, after actually taming him, I’m happy I didn’t continue to feast upon my bowl of sour grapes and give up my quest to acquire him. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n He’s really a visually striking pet. I tend to lean towards old-school models when it comes to different pet looks, but I really like this new lion model. It’s… in a word… bitchin<\/em>. Badass comes to mind as well, but I like bitchin as it pertains to Sambas. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n At any rate… last night as I was just about to cut east towards the coastal spawn point, I targeted Sambas with my rare pet macro, just north of Thundermar. I wasn’t flipping out mind you, but I did think, “Aaahhh… tonight must be my night!” I landed, dropped a freezy trap and got my tame on.<\/p>\n I now have a bitchin new lion to use for my PvE adventures!<\/p>\n Many of you already have added this coveted rare feline to your stable, but for those that haven’t, here’s a map showing his various hangouts. I’ve no idea what sort of spawn timer he’s on, but I’m willing to bet it’s 6 hours or more. He seems to be one of the rarer rares<\/em> in Cataclysm.<\/p>\n![\"Sambas\"](\"\/images\/sambas_taming_location_twilight_highlands.jpg\")
