Savage!

Took my hunter out tonight to try and level her. I'm in Jade Forest and I remember that I should look for some tracks.... just in case.

So, I'm running around and >>>gasp<<< there's a Bloody Track! I got all excited and followed it. Another one! I followed them all the way to the waterfall, shooting off flares each time I thought I found the last track. No tiger.

Wait, what's this? Two tracks at the start of the patrol, one facing each direction. Fucker! He turned around. I followed his ENTIRE path, all the way down and around, through the scary elite Bamboo pythons and everything. Got to the end and no tiger . . . . I was crushed. Honestly crushed. This is the game I play. I don't raid, I don't run 5 mans. I hunt rares!

It took me almost two hours for all that action above . . . I went back to the waterfall. My husband says, "Maybe he's like a lost kid. Just wait here for him to return." Hmmm... maybe Husband was on to something.

So I sat. And I waited. And I waited. About 45 minutes later, I excitedly saw the Bloody Tracks heading for me. I fired off a flare to a point about three tracks away from where I stood. No tiger.

What. The HELL? And then, there he was! He walked through the flare radius, popped out of stealth and spun around. I tagged him with a Hunter's Mark and cast Tame Beast. He ran towards me, blue eyes blazing. Come to mama, you pretty boy.

MINE.

As I stood gazing lovingly at him, I noticed his path behind him begin to fade off. For what it's worth, each "Bloody Tracks" were visible for about 5 minutes and the paw prints are backwards when he walks.

Meet Heartbreaker-
 Bloody Tracks begin to appear heading right for me !
 Come to mama!
 MINE

This Just Happened

I had been camping (rare) Sarnak for about three hours, killing him three times. On the third kill, he dropped the crossbow.

NPC Scan, Why You No Work Same?

I've been using NPC Scan to hunt rares for years. I am used to it sounding off when a rare is found, then when I click the icon it produces on my screen, a green triangle shows up on the rare itself AND marks where the rare is on my mini map.

This is not happening for me in MoP. Why? Has a setting changed? Has the add on itself changed?

Thankfully, I found this amazing post complete with maps for all zones showing where the rares hide.
