Thread: Time of day pattern to GPS spawns?

While that may be true, let me offer you this. I have been hunting for a GPS well over 9 months or so before my couple month break. I am willing to try anything that may give me the success of taming a rare pet, especially one as rare as the GPS. Besides, I have never said I was normal. 8-)

Make-shift guide to catching a Great Plains Stalker Baby. This has guaranteed the taming of at least two GPS babies (mine and my CH buddy's).
1) Locate any Great Plains Stalker on Corellia. Doesn't matter if it's an adult. Just find one.
2) Set a waypoint as close as possible to it.
3) Travel away from that waypoint at least 600m. (It was 570m for me).
4) Head back to the waypoint and stop about 100m out. Wait the the GPS to respawn.
5a) If it's an adult GPS, goto #1.
5b) If it's a baby GPS, tame.
I was working this idea on a Stoneskin Hanadak spawn yesterday morning. Along the track I was taking when moving away I spotted a Blurrg Raptor, so I desided to try working both spawns. I worked for 2 hours. Never saw a Stoneskin Hanadak baby but did get a Blurrg Raptor baby. Unfortunately on the second tame attempt it aggroed me. When I finnaly got it to break aggro, it went poof. When I got back to its spawn point, there was an adult Raptor. So the idea does work. Just wish they would make Raptors lvl 70, so they can be tamable but closer to what they used to be.

Indene, In the 3 1/2 hours I was there I was the only one around that area. I seen no one in that area the whole time I was there.
works fine for lair spawns as well....as I got my baby bull rancor using the go 500m away to let it reset method on a rancor lair...after a couple tries I had a baby bull rancor that I could try to tame...look me 20 tries to tame him though...and I got my barc disabled in the process...
theoretically this should be a way to get babies over and over again from the same lair...or spawn...just have to tame ones that appear then repeat the process...no need to milk lairs for babies....or mindlessly search for random baby spawns...
