So far I've gotten all of the MF tames except Skarr without camping a single minute for any of them. I just took a casual approach of checking all of the spawns a couple times a day. I did find most of them during the lower pop times (morning to early afternoon), but i rarely had anyone else around while i was taming. This is also why i don't have Skarr. There's somebody camping him pretty much 24/7 and i just don't have the patience for it.
Deth was definitely the most fun to tame, and the only one that is at all challenging even if you know the trick. I got it on the 2nd try after a mishap at 30% on my first attempt. I was fortunate to get a second chance and didn't waste it.
I could see Solix potentially being difficult. I got him on the first try mainly b/c my offspec at the time just happened to be perfect for taming him, but also due in part to a bit of luck (i wasn't watching his energy and could have killed him but didn't).
The only issue that I've run into was some horde lock deliberately nuked down Karkin while i was taming just to keep me from having it.

My guildy randomly found Skoll and asked if I wanted to tame it and even though I normally don't care for Spirit Beasts, Skoll looks pretty damn cool and I had my BM off-spec, so I decided "why not?"
I teleported to Storm Peaks (wormhole generator) and flew over to my guildy and began taming him. At 3 seconds a random lvl 78 Hunter in a nobody guild flies down and kills it.
It was irritating, but thankfully I didn't spend weeks trying to get the damn thing just to lose it and it was a spur of the moment type deal, so I wasn't too upset.

And there are soooo many plain IDIOTS in this game......
Tamed skarr with funny, random jump glitch ( not exploit, just happens)
Tamed Deth with my friend ( Okamishadow-Misha, you know who you are :) )
Anthriss: just showing some noobs how to do it.
Magria/ankha: Just wandering

I have learned...that by NOT camping out beasts, and just finding them by luck, works FAR better. I tried for weeks to get Skarr......no luck. A few weeks ago, I gave up and went to do Archeology leveling...then Brewfest. I got my Brewfest title..wandered into to MF...and there was Skarr...at 5:15 AM.....tamed him. Got Karkin the same way the nesxt day.
I had the same luck with Terrorpene.

was a stroke of luck cause i saw the yellow rare spider just before and i couldnt tame him. before 4 alliance beat the crap out of him too much sadness of me and 3 other hunters nearby (including alliance hunters)
Anthriss is meant to be killed, and so is Skitter. You can get trash mobs that look the same.

I have a bunch of rares.
I remember Skoll the most. He was my first spirit beast. I was off that day and I just camped him. My guild leader needed help with something in SW. So I left. When I came back it was like he was waiting for me.

Assuming you're talking about Kurken? He's actually grey bud. But, I have him too, on my Belf Hunter. First thing I did when I could tame exotics was riding all the way out there from outlands, just to get him and fly back.

Had nothing much to do so sat around on a PvP server and waited for a hordie to come along and summon
Echeyakee
(i'm an Allie on this realm.) Took just over 4hrs but one came by and after a few /beg and /point they let me tame him. Now I know he isn't a rare but I will remember this because that hordie could have taken me out any time, instead they /cheer and /luck me and let me go on my merry way.

I've been having a lot of fun taming recently. In the last 3 weeks or so, I levelled my hunter to 85 and, in the process have managed to tame Skoll (stumbled across him randomly), Terrorpene, Magria (randomly pinged NPCscan whilst flying over the Regrowth), Ban'thalos (another random one), Madexx (took a detour whilst herbing), Ghostcrawler, Kirix and Skarr. I also tamed a few other slightly more common rare spawns like the tiger and gorilla gods in STV, Kurken, the lion in Mulgore (whose name escapes me right now) etc etc :)
Skarr was the one I wanted the most, and the only one I have actively camped to try and get. The ironic thing was, camping yielded me no luck. I did miss out on Karkin when trying to tame him without being MM-spec: died a few times and then a Horde hunter popped up and killed it. It was incredibly annoying, but I think he was killing him to reset the spawn timer and hopefully get Skarr next time. After I gave up, I popped back a couple of days later and there was the cute little kitty just sitting on a rock all by his lonesome!
I have been extremely fortunate to have nabbed the spawns I've gotten, but I have enjoyed every minute of it! :) The main problem I have is, as I'm SV spec for PvE and MM spec for PvP, I can't use any of the spirit beasts! :(

I recently had a very happy tame. Was phased in TH, in the Maw of "Whatever's his name" and killing his brain when another hunter randomly whispers me that Sambas is up. So I kill the brain, fly over the fastest I can and he's there. The other hunter told me that he thought he should ask if there's any hunters wanting him first, since this guy wasn't high enough lvl to tame him anyway.
Happy Huntress was happy :)
