I just tamed Arcturis. 7:20p EST on Khaz Modan. He was also tamed at approximately 7:20a EST. So if that holds true, it looks like he is on a 12-hour cycle at the moment. Same place as mentioned. Between the road just outside Amberpine Lodge and the stream with all the bears. Happy hunting all!
Here he is:

Spawned for me today at
30,56
, half way down the hill between
Amberpine Lodge
and the
Waterfall
. (Right on top of the "
ber
" of Am
ber
pine Lodge on your
map
)
As far as I can tell, this seems to be the only spot that he does spawn at. I had be looking where ever Grizzley Bears were found as well.
**
Don't be like me and look for him for 2 days and forget that
he is an exotic pet
and requires you to have the
Beast Mastery
talent...luckily I had leveled last night and had talent point to spend when I logged on.
edit: updated map

I think he has more than one spawn point but nobody's flying around to find him at other locations. Someone mentioned Grizzlemaw as one of the places he spawns and I flew over there. North of Grizzlemaw is an area with other grizzly bears, so it makes sense he'd spawn in that area.
Good luck to all the Hunters!

Here's what I know for Kargath.
(7:30pm) I signed on and checked right after the patch let me on (without DCing), no sign of the bear.
(7:30am) Came back 12 hours later (thinking it was a 12 hour timer) and camped for 30-60 minutes. The bear popped up and another hunter starting taming before I could.
(5:30pm) And you have tamed, 10 hours after that occured.
There have been some rolling restarts. But other hunters and I have been camping this spot nearly nonstop and no sign of the bear since. It's been over 48 hours.
I'm trying to find more information on him, but he's too new to really know much. People have stated just about every kind of theory there is. One spawning location, multiple spawning locations (rumored Chillmaw), 6 hour timer, 12 hour, 12-24 hour, 36 hour, won't spawn if you're near or on the ground, he shares a timer with the other rare spawns in the area...
Well, I personally killed all three of the other rare spawns. Syreian first, Seething Hate a few (maybe 4?) hours later, finally Grocklar about 6 hours after killing Seething Hate... No sign of the bear. While camping the spot, another hunter went out to look for rares and found Seething Hate. So Syreian likely spawned again already and was killed... Yet no bear!
It has been over 12 hours since killing those rares too.
Regarding no spawn if people are too close to his point... not true. Perhaps it lengthens his spawn timer. But both times I saw him, it was just me and one other hunter and the other hunter was right on top of the spawning location where the bear was in melee range of them when he popped up.
I don't even want to tame or kill. Just want to help the other hunters that are waiting (hey guys :3) and figure out some concrete information so I can help my boyfriend tame the bear eventually...
UPDATE:
After 72+ hours, the bear spawned. A new hunter had entered the area about an hour before. My friends and I tried to reason with him and tell him that we all were going to take turns, especially since some of us waited for over 24 hours without sleep for this bear. He would have none of it - that he would kill it before letting it be tamed by someone else.
The bear spawned just after 9:30pm and I began taming immediately. The jerk-hunter tried to pull it from me, so I pulled it back. We went back and forth like this until the bear died. I was able to loot.
Dropped:
*
*Satchel contained: 24g, 71s, 22c; x 20;
And so much sadness.
UPDATE #2:
Finally got the bear tamed! For my friend that is. :) It happened around 6:45pm... 21 hours after it was last seen (the spot was camped nonstop by me so I know there were no other spawns at the Lodge location. Other spawning places? I have no idea...)
.................-------------------*************-----------------...................
TL;DR - Kargath Server spawn times seen so far:
Wednesday 7:30am (12 hours after patch)
Wednesday 5:30pm (10 hours after previous)
Friday 9:30pm (52 hours after previous)
Saturday 6:45pm (21 hours after previous)

I recommend continually killing the annoying Tallhorn Stag that spawns there - it might get caught in your trap when you go to tame Arcturis, and this guy hits HARD even at level 75 without a trap while taming. So get rid of the one stag that pats on that slope - Arcturis will spawn right beside him right out in the open clearing on the slope.
BTW - this guy leaves big, lighting-white footsteps that rise up off the ground when he's walks. Awesome-sauce if I do say so :)
Good luck guys!

Friendly reminder: this is Wowhead, not Twitter.
Check out their handy guide!
Specifically:
The comments that just say "I tamed him at the same place everyone else did" aren't really useful. Confirming another spawn point WOULD be incredibly helpful for everyone still camped out, as no other locations were found on the PTR.
Rare spawns are
not
on fixed timers. There is probably some upper limit on how long it can be, but otherwise it's random. This should be pretty clear from people on some servers finding him within hours of the patch while others go days (I waited 62 hours for his first appearance on Feathermoon US -- 22 hours after our last rolling restart) or more.
Rare spawns are
not
linked to other rares in the zone. Two or more can be up at the same time, if the first one up goes unkilled for long enough.
It's in everyone's benefit to keep the signal-to-noise ratio up and make the useful information easy to find. Cheers and good luck to everyone still camping. I was uncertain if he was worth the missed emblems, to say nothing of the sleep deprivation, but he really does look better in game than in static screenshots. Named him Kerensky, seemed appropriate for a ghost bear that shoots frickin' laser beams. ;)

Both this bear and Arcturus Mengsk were probably named for the star Arcturus. Third brightest in sky, in the constellation Bootes, and means "Guardian of the Bear" in Greek.

There are at least two confirmed spots according to Thottbot and a few comments here. One on the cliff
southwest of Grizzlemaw at 47.47
and
the other at Amberpine by the River at 30.56
, which seems to be the popular sighting spot.
I'd still say that it's safe to assume that there is at least one more spot to be discovered aside from those two. My guesses based on the trend from the previous spirit beasts would be that it's other spawn points will have some commonality with the type of animal it is. In this case since it's a bear, the third spot will likely be either near other preadators of it's kind or near a common food source (rivers/lakes with fish), or that it's near some major point in the zone having to do with bears (Grizzlemaw, Ursoc's Den) etc....
The logic would follow if you think of Loque'nahak for example whose spawn points are all either near food in Sholozar (Rhinos, birds, gorillas, giraffes) or near places with several cats in the zone. The same is true more or less for Gondria, IE near cats or cats & bears in ZD, and the same being true for Skoll, a spirit wolf, whose commonality is that he's near three of the graveyards in Storm Peaks..... I'd take a gamble our third spot will either be somewhere near Ursoc's Den or Ashwood Lake.

Hey - thanks for the update on the 2nd spawn location. Someone on my server said they saw him there too, but I could never get a second confirmation.
THEORY: (NOT CONFIRMED YET)
I think there's another spawn location on the snowy, mountainous area just to the west of Rage Fang Shrine, up a little into the hilly area. There's a lot of bears patting around the snow there, and lots of little hiding spots which would be perfect for Arcturis to hang out in.
I've been patrolling the whole Grizzly Hills zone in between my Random Dungeon Finder queues trying to help other people find and tame him. If I find him elsewhere, I'll let you guys know.
The Amberpine spot has too much competition now to bother trying to tame him there (at least on my server), so I'm trying to help a buddy find him in one of the other spot(s).

I've seen claims on both Thottbot and here that there is a confirmed spawn point beneath Grizzlemaw at 47.47... Can we please get a screenshot pre & post taming including coordinates verifying this information? Thank you.
When I'm able to tame him I'll repost and include a screen. Also to any other posts or parties reading this for the purposes of taming, PLEASE use the wowhead looter addon, as it will update wowhead with the most current information regarding this spawn which will benefit us all.

Edit: 96+ hours camping Amberpine 30.55, seven 2-Liters of Mountain Dew & half a carton of cigarettes, and 5 days, with less than 16 hours total sleep. Patrolling to rage fang, 47.55 then to, 47.47 at Grizzlemaw before patting up to Ursoc's Den all the while heading back to camp Amberpine while praying someone didn't get the spawn or kill him during a patrol lap, utterly nervewracking. A bunch of dead alliance & horde players attempting to encroach on my spot and an ally within the alliance killing off my own horde competion? Priceless.
For rarespawns there is NPCscan & Silver Dragon. For everything else to insure you'll be murderously raging while playing, there's only other players on Smolderfail....
On a very serious note, I'm offering a ridiculously valuable bounty to the (horde) player who may manage to spot Arcturis, or Skoll and keep them alive for me until I've tamed them I'm not stating what this item is, other than it's T9+ quality, and worth several thousand gold. I've got two of these items sitting in my personal banks to reward the players responsible for assiting me tame him. Interfering or threats to kill however will not be rewarded at all.
Thanks again, & thanks Alphia (General Goods Alliance Hunter)

I just tamed Arcturis on the Steamwheedle Cartel -EU server at 01:20am at the known spawn point near Amberpine Lodge. I know that some other hunters have been on and off looking for him, so from what I've seen from previous tames on my server, a 24 max hour spawn timer seems about right.
And best of luck to every other hunter out there, especially on realms with tightly camped spawn points.

I still prefer Loque's look to all of these new spirit beasts. I still find myself camping Arcturis, however, while queueing for Random dungeons, but I wish it was for more than just it being rare.
Maybe if it were actually a bear, or maybe if the super-rare spirit beasts were actually the best dps pets in the game, it would be more satisfying to tame one. They are almost just a fancy vanity pet imo.

Not sure if its a bug, intended, or just because of the way his body position is sometimes when he attacks, but he appears to actually pounce sometimes when using Charge like he does when you first pull him untamed. Can anyone else confirm they are seeing this?

I had just tamed this amazing spirit beast. 3:10am server time on Sargeras. I had been waiting right above his spawn point for nearly five hours before he finally spawned, so any rumors regarding this mob not spawning because of nearby players are entirely false. I had created a macro that would target him then use Scorpid Sting on him (imo this sting is the best move to tag him with; it doesn't really hurt him , and lowers the chance he will hit you while you tame.) The macro, needless to say, worked perfectly. Even without the macro, he was a very distinguishable mob and made a very noticeable appearance. You should have no trouble at all spotting this mob.

I just wanted to add this considering nobody else has yet, if you look at Arcturis fairly close once tamed, you will see that his heart beats once very 5seconds or so, and you then see the shockwave from the heart-beat ripple on his spectral skin! Really is an excellent addition to the spirit beast family. Once again, tamed North of amberpine lodge, just down the slope, near the river.

I believe I read in an earlier post that Arcturis was level 75, but the one this Orc just tamed was lvl 74. Hope this has helped.
Edit:

After collecting all the spirit beasts and completing the Frostbitten achievement my two cents would be DO NOT kill yourself camping a location. Almost all the rares I have ever found were found near the top of the hour and EVERY single time I found a spirit beast (Loque = 6 times, Gondria = 6 times, Skoll = 5 times, Arcturis = 2 times) it close to the top of the hour (on average 5 minutes before or after the hour). I spent hours and hours and hours killing my self trying to get Loque over a period of 3 months but after I noticed the times I was finding other rare spawns it took much less time overall and I was able to find them faster. Many people give a lot of misinformation based on theory and I just want to add my opinion with the experiance I have. I know it is all based on luck but after I started noticing the time it took me 22 min total to get Gondria, 9 minutes total to get Skoll and 19 minutes total to get Arcturis. Do yourself a favor and check at the top of the hour and spare your sanity.

Okay, I was camping and waiting around for Arcturis this afternoon and ended up missing Arcturis "spawning". I went AFK at about 3pm, but came back to my keyboard 20min after 3pm PST (Velen server time), to see NPCscan had alerted me of Arcturis. So i went looking for Grocklar, found him about an hour after i got back to the computer.
Now I'm not completely sure it was an Arcturis spawning, as it could have easily been another hunter going by with Arcturis out, as his pet. But I do know I went AFK at the hour, and 20min later i came back and NPCscan had gone off, and most sighting's I've heard of occur at or around the hour. Which makes sense, if I found Grocklar patrolling his southern pattern, just an hour or so after I got back to my computer.
I was standing directly beneath the "R" in Amberbine. I'll check the coordinates when I log back on, but do know that NPCscan will go off when the NPC comes within about 100 yards of you, so that's a good bit of distance.

I just tamed him at 7:45a on Maiev, at 31,55, right next to the small bush which is where he spawned under me. NPC sanner did go off. Another horde hunter showed up about 15 seconds after I tamed him; the only other player I have seen in this area in the 2 days I've been checking for this guy. Sorry Semmy. =( That completes taming all 4 spirit beasts and getting TLPD! =D

GOT HIM! Came out of a finished Random Heroic, and the loading screen went away and BOOM! There he was! But I was freakin' out, cause I was still in my MM spec, but I tagged him, dropped the freezing trap then of course, then changed to BM. I had to get my mana back, had me some honeymint tea, dropped another freezing trap, couldn't tame him... cause i still had a my temporary pet, who was dead. So i got my mana up, rezzed my pet, abandoned him and proceeded to tame him. Fortunately there were no other hunters around, which there have been about 3 alliance side hunters, and a couple other Horde side hunters (i'm currently and Orc), who have been camping with me for the past few days.
Tamed him at:
Coords: 31, 57
Time: 1:54PM PST (Velen server time)
He was walking back and forth between the two trees where the large shadow lays half way up the hill.
And just as I stated in my previous post, I found him the day before at 3PM, but didn't get to tame him. I did not stay up at the 12 hour mark to see if he would spawn at 3am server time. Though I did kill Grocklar yesterday, but have yet to find Syreian The Bonecarver. I'm still going to keep an eye out for him. I'll also be helping a fellow hunter find Arcturis again, so that he may tame him.
Good luck to you all!

I saw Acrturis 3 day ago in a battle ground I didnt even know that there was a new spirit beast. The hunter wouldnt give me any info on its location so looked him up, got the location and camped him North of Amberpine Lodge about a hour no luck. About 8 hours later camped him again for about a hour no luck. Today about 0930 Eitrigg server logged on my hunter hung around about 30 and said screw it then about to log and said to myself 10 more min and what do you know he spawned right befor my eyes. Camped Loque for five days got him, wasnt looking for Gondria was grinding my pally and ran across him tamed, and last but not least Acrturis 2 hour 30 min camp got him (Priceless) Im humble but also very happy good luck fellow hunters.

Just tamed him today - 6:51 PM server time, Thorium Brotherhood. After having been logged in pretty much all day, I took a half hour break, then logged in again and as soon as I logged my _NPCScan went off and he was right next to me. A freezing arrow and a tame beast later and I had my new bear that's not a bear :)
Coordinates of 31,55 were pretty much spot on.

Alright everyone lets stop with the "I tamed him and it was awesome" posts, we're all trying to tame this guy (atleast i hope we all are) so lets get down what we can and cannot confirm about this guy.
What i can confirm about camping this guy is that:
1. He only appears to have one spawn point.
This may seem a bit odd that such an amazing pet has only 1 spawn point taking out the aimless flying around in circles hoping for him to spawn, but its pretty clear what blizzard have done here.
They haven't hidden him away like the other spirit beasts, only to be found by the lucky questers and devoted hunters, they have put him out in plain sight, meaning he is found be EVERYONE.
Blizzard are making other players your worst enemy in taming this beast and i could ramble on about all the times this has effected me but that wouldn't help anyone.
2. Appears to have a MINIMUM of a 12 hour cooldown, he could spawn anywhere from on the 12 hour mark or hours later, just comes down to luck and how devoted you are.
3. Is a spirit beast with all the spirit beast skills (prowl, spirit strike etc)
4. Is a DPS pet not a TANKING pet, this supprised me and alot of other hunters, don't know why because it was pretty clear that he was going to be just another spirit beast.
5. Looks amazing and the fact that we can have a ghost bear dpsing for us should be enough for any hunter to atleast want this guy to show off.
6. Macros and addons are really not needed, just get into a place where you can see the from the water to the trees and he'll pop up in your line of vision sooner or later, remember he is a rarther large shiny bear.
7. Is, like every other spirit beast, a neutral mob.
8. Most recorded spawns see him at lvl 74.
9. Is just a repeat of 5, he really does look very nice.
This is all i've gathered so far, please can we start putting in usefull posts about this mob.
3 days, 3 noted spawns, 6 horde, 0 tames (for anyone)
Still going strong.
Happy Hunting!
EDIT: Tamed - 16 hours and 42 mins after his last death.

I finally got this beauty tamed today (30/12-09 on Al'akir) around 4pm at his spawn point close to Amberpine Lodge.
I was actually out shopping leaving my wow on and having my boyfriend look at it now and then. I got so sad when I came home seeing that SilverDragon had noticed the spirit beast two hours ago and that my boyfriend had missed him. He was just fooling me around and tricked me into looking in my stables and there he was.
I spent the whole day yesterday and today camping the spawn point outside of Amberpine Lodge. I had Track Beast on at all time and was just standing still in the sky looking over the hill where he spawns. Now and then when I felt that I could I flew over to Ursoc's Den and Grizzlemaw since I've read that he might spawn there as well. I didn't do this too often though.
Before I wanted to get Skoll but after I found him killed by a passing Alliance I got heartbroken and flew over to find me this bear since he "might" just have one spawn point, which means I don't need to worry about if he spawns at other places.
Good luck to all other hunters who are trying to get this pet. He's a beauty.
EDIT: Why is this getting downrated? I have both where he was seen and caught and the time and server.

I just have to add this-
Many of you say that the "I found him!" posts are unhelpful- but I must disagree! I find them extremely helpful in my hunt for Arcturis. First- they show when he was last found on certain realms, which tells me I can relax for a while when my realm is mentioned. Secondly, they help me see a better spawn time- especially when they are from the same realm in a row!
I'm not saying they shouldn't be down-graded to save space, I'm just saying that I do, in fact, think of them as a handy tool!

Happy New Year to ME! (and all of you) Logged in at about 6:30 this morning to check for him. Wasn't gonna stay on, was just gonna look and log. Started chatting and he spawned right before my eyes! 31,55... Above the R in Amberpine Lodge. OMG There was 3 other hunters popping on and off at his spot. I am so happy, and I don't feel bad for the 3 lvl 80 alli that were wishing my lvl 74 horde butt was flagged. Ok, maybe I do. LOL Sorry, Good luck to all!
Oh yeah, on Borean Tundra

Well, it was about time I got this lucky. I have no patience for camping rare spawns at all, but I was really really bored and decided to take a BM offspec to try for this awesome bear spirit beast. I sat at his spawn place for maybe 45 minutes and logged out (new year's eve and all).
Logged in at 8:30 AM EST today and he was already spawned waiting there for me on a platter.
So, I spent exactly 45 minutes to get this guy :D rofl.
Named him Ursamortis. Get it?

I got my bear tonight at 11:20am server time, he spawned right in front of me and boy did I freak! I didnt see my first 2 spirit beasts spawn in front of me so this was a treat. ^_^ I'll spare the details of the tame, but wanted to let anyone from Eldre'Thalas know the last spawning time. Good luck!

Just tamed this bear on my server this morning and he's definitely a cool looking pet.

Just ontop of the "ER" in "AmbERpine"
I had two friends helping out, one a hunter and one a mage. Bear was never spotted around Grizzlemaw even after 14 hours of camping in that location by a patient friend.
After 22 hours of steady camping in my spot just under the lodge, between the road and the river he spawned right on top of me. Took three tries to tame as he does hit pretty hard (I have nearly 20k HP and he took me down to 1/3 of my HP) but worth it to have a cool looking new pet :)

server! Tamed Arcturis on my hunter Tofuu today(January 4th 09) at 1:31am server time.
Camped for a few hours the night before, camped on and off for 20ish mins ever few hours the next morning, two hour break, camped from 11:30 am server until 10pm server when I was getting disheartened and went to do ICC 10, came back did a few randoms and started questing while checking back every 20 minutes or so. Strange coincidence, like an above poster I was also on my way back to turn in the Bear god quest when I stopped by the river and Arcturis spawned right on top of me.
Good luck hunting!
EDIT: Npc Scan did NOT go off, even though my cache was cleared out. I used the target and whisper macro above, but added in a /cast for arcane shot rank 2 so that it damaged him slightly and tagged him upon targetting.

Tamed him at 8:28am server time on Anvilmar (alliance) on 1/4/10, just above the "R" in Amberpine. Watched him spawn right in front of my eyes! I had been signing on every hour at the top of the hour for the last few days in hopes to see him. A lot of previous posts said that was the best time for rare spawns. I'd sign in and wait 20 minutes or so then sign off. There had been a few other hunters camping him along with me the past few days, but I was the only one around this time so I decided to stay a bit longer. Glad I did. So excited to finally get this guy. His exact spawn point for me was about 20ft to the left of the clump of trees as your looking downhill, about even with the small bush and on the uphill side. Stand on the little flat spot of ground on the hillside and look downhill toward the stream. Hope that helps.
Thanks to everyone who posted info. Best of luck to those still waiting.

Hello pet hunter's! my name is Araillia on the RP/PVP server ravenholdt, i have been a pet fanatic for a long time and i decided awhile back to devote alot of my time to hunting rares (and horde) i have quit a log of spawn times for several spawns on my server i hope it helps!
spawn times and dates without question marks are the ones i have personally seen the ones with question marks are reported times.
A quick note to hunters looking for arcturis, IMO arcturis is a "gimmie" to all those BM hunters that either dont have the time or patience to hunt rares.
Arcturis
1225am (?)
905am

EDIT: I am changing this entire comment based on new findings.
This info is what I have observed for the past several days.
On my realm I camped for 41.5 hours straight and witnessed the following:
Arcturis spawned at 1:02am Thursday morning server time. (An opposite faction hunter killed him to stop me from taming)
Arcturis spawned at 2:30am Friday morning server time. (I tamed him with an 80 hunter of opposite faction over my head AFK -I was lvl 74)
At this point my 24 hr daily coverage ended and I merely have been logging in talking to hunters camping him every day and night. Here are my continued observations.
Arcturis spawned around 2:00am roughly Saturday morning server time. (I was alt tabbed checking every 20 min or so and the hunter who was 80 and AFK the night before when I tamed him got him this night.. specifically I alt tabbed out around 1:55am and came back at 2:25am and it had spawned and was tamed because NPCScan alerted me when I tabbed BACK into the game!) I check combat log and spoke with said hunter and she told me she logged in and he was already there so she tamed him at 2:15am)
Arcturis spawned SUNDAY morning somewhere during the night as he was wondering around untamed or unkilled at 4:00am server time.
-==From 4 days of observations I conclude he is on roughly at 24 hour cycle, NOT EXACT, but in the general time.=--
-==Also it appears that server startup time has no direct correlation with the spawn time but for the record: Server came online from weekly maintenance at 1:00 pm server time Tuesday and was restarted at 7:25am and came back online 7:30am server time, Thursday morning.
I will continue to check every night that I can remember to do so and update this post!
Hopefully you all will uprate this comment so that it stands out as I believe it's the only one that has many spawn times (2 exact and 2 non-exact)
TL;DR:
-Server came online on Tuesday 1:00pm server time.
-Witnessed Arcturis spawn at 1:02am server time on Thursday morning.
-Server restarted at 7:25am server time and came back online at 7:30am Thursday morning.
-Witnessed Arcturis spawn at 2:30am server time on Friday morning.
-Arcturis spawned between 1:55am and 2:25 server time on Saturday morning(and was tamed at 2:15am according to hunter I spoke with who was in my combat log)
-Arcturis spawned during the morning hours and was spotted by me at 4:00am server time exactly. (I had checked around midnight and he wasn't here)
Some side Notes:
Why am I doing this? After my 41.5 hours of straight camping, dishearting kill the first night by opposite faction hunter, near tear jerking tame the next morning (I know sounds nerdy huh - I've been through the fire though!), and many talks with hunters from both factions who have been camping on and off for week, this sort of became an interest to me on how rare spawns work and my willingness to help OTHER hunters including the ones on my realm from both factions is very high right now.
My hunter is now level 76 and I get comments and whispers all day every day asking me about my pet. I personally think he is better than the other spirit beasts although they are pretty awesome! I actually have a bond with this pet as it took me alot of hours of work with little hours of sleep!
Have a great day all and I hope you tame him. If you are the hunter who is not taming him or missed out on him do me a favor: Don't kill him or stop the other hunter from taming. Nothing is so hurtful in the world to have something right in your grasp only to have it ripped out and destroyed while being powerless!

Seems like to me with all of these rolling restarts that have been happening lately atleast on Lothar. it have messed up with the spawn timing. He haven't been spottted for days on Lothar. Usually it is always the same hunters camping him including myself on the alliance side and through communication neither of us have seen him .Starting to think maybe this is one cruel joke blizz is running =/. If you are on Lothar, Horde or Alliance please respond wether you've seen or tamed Arcturis. been atleast three days without any sightings
Edit: Just logged in about five minutes ago and talked to one of the hunters that was camping earlier said she tamed him at 11:45am server time. Took freaking FOUR days for him to spawn, but atleast he stills there. Now we're getting together to help myself tame him :P

Just tamed this sweet bear, 17.32. Flew there, saw him next to the river.
Put up freeze trap, started taming. Then I saw a 74 warrior running towards the
bear while I tamed it. Then he charged it and started killing it, I said some
not so nice words to the dude but he didnt care and continued.
Arcturis eventually killed the warrior and I could tame him safely =)

I tamed this magnificent creature at about 6:45-7:00 AM Eastern time on the Arygos realm. I do want to mention that I had a lot of trouble with Allies looking for it, but later into the night everyone died off. A lone hunter came around six telling me that his spawn timer was at an hour and forty eight minutes, and he stayed there with me and kept me company (hence the fact that i had been there for six hours straight already). He finally popped up when i wasn't paying attention. It was a beautiful tame. He pounces to you. Hahaha. Anyways, I got him finally, and the spawn point at 31.55 is confirmed. (: Good luck hunters! I camped for seven hours.

An unfortunate druid, perhaps? Arcturis uses the same model as the old night elf bear form model. He also has the ability to Prowl just like cat form, and Spirit Strike uses the same model as Moonfire, as well as a similar effect.

This pet was recently tamed by a Tauren hunter on Kel Thuzad at 3:44 am Sunday the 10th of January then again by an Orc hunter at 10:25 pm on that same evening. Reasoning with other players can work but wont usually so just look out for number 1 but dont kill the beast if you arent taming it and someone else is as it will just cause for more competition in the future. Instead if they are opposing faction and your on a pvp realm kill the player =D GL and happy hunting grats to those who have aquired this beautiful beast already.
Tamed again on Wednesday 6:15 am realm time on Kel' Thuzad though unfortunately I was distracted and unable to tame it myself hope to get lucky later today

Tamed him today.
My suggestion:
-Install _NPCscan and set it up
-play wow in a window
-log on at a unusual time (like thursdays 4:00 am^^)
-put your hunter there
-do whatever you like on the internet
-When found _NPCscan will inform you
-proceed for several days
However ... I way lucky and tamed him at the very first attempt. I logged in, traveled there and 5min later he respawned.

Just tamed him at 8:03 pm server time.
Came to the area at 8:23pm server time two days ago, found corpse. Started camping him last night at 7:00pm until 11:00pm and no spawns. Came back today and started camping at 4:30pm. Spawn pop and tamed at 8:03pm.
Very likely at 48 hour spawn timer.
He spawns Neutral, not Hostile.
Spawn point is exactly 31.2:55.7
Good luck to all Hunters.

Hellscream server ~ Usual spot 31,55 coor. by ambERpine
I have been camping for over 48 hours for Arcturis. My first 24 hours several hunters came and went checking in to see if there was a spawn. No one stayed around long. I stayed up till the server restart, then I went to bed. I was up and logged in right when the server came up the next day 01-12-2010 . Not long after logging on that a level 74 hunter showed up, and stayed all day long with me camping. That evening I had to log for about a half hour to go pick my children up from school. So of course that's when the damn bear decided to spawn. The other hunter was still there, and successfully tamed him 6:55pm server. And of course when I logged back on, I got the news that I had missed it. DAMN! I had been reading on the forums that he can spawn any where from 6 hours - 24 hours from being tamed. So I did other things, and started my camping again at 1am server today. I stayed up till 530 am server, still no spawn. I set my alarm, and checked every hour till 8:30am. From then on I just stayed on, I didn't move from that spot all day today. I told myself that if the bear didn't spawn by the 24 hour mark that I was going to find something else to do. Camping is maddening! Almost exactly 23 hours after last tame (at 4:43pm server), my npc scan went off, scared the @#$% out of me, luckily no other hunters around to worry about, I abandoned my throw away pet, froze Arcturis, and tamed him without a hitch.
Remember to empty your cache for you NPC scanner otherwise it might not go off. The cache is found, Program Files>WoW>Cache>WDB>enUS.......grab the file that says "creaturecashe.wdb" and delete it. This will make NPC scan act like it's never seen the animal before. Where as if you don't then if your NPC scan has already seen Arcturis in Dalaran as a pet, it will cache that creature, logging it as a pet and might not go off. I did not do this when I was camping "Gondria" and my NPC scanner DID NOT go off with the cat, but it DID with Arcturis. (keep in mind that if a hunter runs up to you with his arcturis pet out while you're camping, tell him to leave or put it away, then go back and reset your cache again. Just to be sure) Maybe I was being too paranoid but after wasting so many hours of my life staring at the hill side in Grizzly Hills I wasn't about to let one little thing cost me the bear.
Hope this info was helpful! My toon's name is Rahzie on Hellscream, if you have a question that needs answered.
Happy Hunting fellow Hunters!

9:24pm CST - Ner'zhul
Wow, what a tough tame! Not the actual tame (although he took me to 6% at lvl 77), but finding him in general.
I camped him more or less for 3 days. He popped at 2:34am CST last night. I had layed back and partially fallen asleep when my darn npcscan alert went...man, that default one is creepy! Scared the bejeebers out of me. I get excited and swoop down and doh!...80 Nelf was already taming...
So I'm sitting here watching the Dark Knight tonight and "creepy alert" time! No one is around...I overreact and drop the wrong trap (wanted to freeze him, but just slowed him down). He is kicking my butt and luckily I finish the tame right before.
Wow...weirdest thing...made my heart pound. Woot!....but now I got'em!

Found on Darksorrow EU at:

17:00pm
If you want this pet, you really should download NPCscan, you can find it on curse.com or a direct link somewhere on this page.
It detected the pet 100 yards away. I initially was shocked because the pet was not in sight, but i went to: 31,55 - The general location and found him/tamed him.
Ironically, I gave up on looking for Skoll/Gondria/Arcturis as I spent quite alot of time, I went to Grizzly Hills for one last check and he was there.
Good luck!
P.S. - Seriously download NPCscan, it's better then buttonmashing a macro!
I was watching the pet for around a week for about 20 minutes a day at different time intervals.
Arcturis has one spawn point only. He is the only spirit beast that has one spawn point, having NPC Scan/Sound in background means you can hover over the spawn point and get on with other various things.

Spawned at the location shown near the lodge. Seen him at 7:25PM (Let another hunter have the tame), seen the next morning at 6:05AM, so not even 12 hours later. Did get the second spawn, and am glad this hunt is over...
FYI - I did have a trash pet out killing Tallhorn Stags that would pop in the spawn location. Thought I would pass this along, because several hunters told me he will not spawn if you have a pet out, but in fact he does still spawn.
01.17.2010
Logged in this morning at 5:15AM and he was already spawned and sitting there. Because I already have him from the morning before, I went ahead and harvested him for the goody bag.

Camped him for two days with the addon
SilverDragon
to tell me when he spawned if I wasn't looking. I flew off a few times to Grizzlemaw and Ursoc's Den where people have said he
might
spawn (this is not known though) but stopped doing that and went to camp the hill close to Amberpine.
I was lucky since no other hunters was camping him those days so I didn't need to compete for him.

For those from Argent Dawn:
Tamed on 17-01-10 at 0:58 AM
The Spawn is on the slope near the river close to the cliff of Amberlodge. The 'close to the letters ER of Amberlodge' is accurate. Took me 4 hours of straight waiting, but persistance is the key people.
I wish you all the best of luck.

Actually, on Uldum server, if anyone has Arcturis tamed as a pet, it'll pop up on NPC-Scan as a tamable mob instead of a false alarm.. dunno if it's like that for anyone else. It happened around 6pm server time (at the Amberpine local) and myself and another hunter were hunting for him like mad, thinking he had spawned but he was just a pet

I tamed Arcturis this morning 1/18/10 at roughly 10:30 am on Lightning's Blade. I started camping him at about 9:30-10 pm the following night. So his spawn time was at least 13 hours. I am gonna go back tonight and 10:30 pm and see if he is there.
The cool thing about waiting for 13 hours was that I continully (SP?) killed the grizzly bears in the river. I gained a half level of XP, 220 pieces of Borean Leather, 6 pieces of Arctic fur, and over 100g in junk.
I hope the other spirit beasts go a litle easier lol.

Is this the lowest lvl spirit beast? Meaning you need to be at least lvl 74 to get a spirit beast, right?
So this is the lowest lvl spirit beast a hunter can get, lvl 74. Just in case you were having any doubts about the level.

I just cought my 1st spirit beast 3 days ago. It was Loque, Ive been wanting this bear bad but everytime I go to start camping there is a hunter already there. And out of respect I feel its not right to camp a place with another hunter unless you are going to watch/ help. Anyways Im sure my day will come. I do have a question, how do I reset the cache on my NPCScan? I did not know the alarm wouldnt sound until I read this thread.

So I get home at noon from working a midnight to noon shift. I wake from my nap because I have another midnight to noon shift to work that night. My wife's like "I saw someone taming that bear just before you got up...." and ofcourse I say "Bah. I might not ever get it".
As I decide to not log onto the DK that I am leveling on different server, I log onto my hunter on Staghelm which I have parked in Grizzly Hills at the spawn point. It was just dumb luck that as soon as I hit my target macro, he was standing right there.
I have the 4 spirit beasts now and I will be a little angry if Blizz puts out more than one more without giving us hunters about 5 more pet slots. WOOT!

Just tamed Arcturis on the hill down from Amberpine Lodge at 12:49 pm server time - was just checking as I have been doing for awhile now. Patience is the key and you will get him. I have not seen him spawn anywhere else. According to the last spawn it was 15 hours. It has only taken me over 2 months to get him.

woke up at around 6 am just another morning farming for that sweet teddy, but got bored of staring at the screen for a while, so I logged on a 2nd account, managed to sneak a lvl 70 char into grizzly hills, and parked it there with NPCscan on while I played on my lvl 10 paladin.. suddenly in the middle of killing a bunch of lvl 9 mobs NPC scan goes off and I heartattack panic and just attack it on the lvl 70 that instantly dies ^^ then I managed to quickly log on my hunter (lvl 74 btw), freeze trap and tame :) 8:28 AM server time on Kul Tiras, I was the only one in the zone on horde side, no other hunters :)

This pet does NOT spawn at Ursoc Den.
It spawns at Amberpine Lodge.
You can also have a pet out for it to spawn.
These are just silly little rumours which mean nothing.
Amberpine Lodge. be patient and it will come.

I just tamed Arcturis on Durotan server. The time was 1-27-2010 at 3:55 am
I camped the area near the lodge for last 3 days. Just missing him by 10 minutes twice for talking a break.
I really wanted this pet so it was worth the wait. No one else was camping him this early in the morning so I got him with 1 freezing trap.
Good Luck to all you fellow hunters.
And Blizz please give us more pet bag space so we can have a nice collection since we have to spend so much time on these rare pets.

Tamed him today at 7:51 pm realm time on US realm Nathrezim. Waited a little under two hours, I was standing around the 'ber' part of Amberpine Lodge, as previously stated. I was reading a book, and I was about to log off, then he spawned on top of me and my npcscan goes off!
Heart racing, I abandon my pet, drop a trap and tame him. Surprisingly no intervention from any other hunters.
I named him 'Kitty.'
Happy Hunting to all hunters

Thnderstomp lvl 75 Hunter Bleeding hollow.
Started sitting on the confirmed spawn point on the hill behind Amberpine lodge thursday Jan. 28, 2010 3pm. server time, had various hunters join me throughout the day. I decided around 12:50 AM of the next morning to log off. Get on next morning around 7:30 AM and sit there the entire day around 8:30 Jan. 29th was talking to the other hunter that was on the previous night camping with me said that she ended up getting the bear 10 minutes after I had logged of that night so around 12:53 AM. So we just kept talking about the bear then right around 8:53 20hrs from his last tame he popped on my screen right in front of me my heart started racing. I layed down my trap and shot him with an arcane shot bam he jumped towards my trap but one of them darn patrolling stags walked right into it and got caught, i proceeded to get mauled on and died by the bear so I ran back quiick set another trap away from the stag and pulled again, landed perfect started the tame and then I had my beutiful bear. Goodluck and happy camping everyone!

75 Hunter, Felwrathe of Proudmoore US, tamed at 9pm server time.
Just saw him sitting there while on an alt, so I switched to my Hunty, flew over and tamed him. No camping, wasn't looking for him... honestly I didn't even know where to find him (saw someone else with him on my server about a week ago)
Note on taming: He hits pretty hard and when he charges he does a kind of dive toward you, so using the "Freezing Trap between you and the mob" trick doesn't really work, he can just jump over it. Instead drop it at your feet and hit tame, he'll be frozen long enough to tame safely.s

hey, i was searching for this bear on turalyon eu, i was up from 01:00 am til around 4:30 am realm time, i decided to have a quick nap. I came back on around 7:00 am and the bear was not there so i waited til around 9:00 am, still no bear. I then came on at around 5:00 pm and no bear, I had mail so i went to the nearest mail box to check what it was, i was returning to the bit of land near the river close to amberpine mill when suddenly NPCScan went off, i rushed over to him and did the trap and tame method. I think he was tamed/killed when i had my nap. This was my third spirit beast. I went to the storm peaks to check for Skoll, when i approached the snowfall pains spawn point, my npcscan went off. I did the trap and tame method again to complete my set of spirit beasts. good luck to all searching for him

Arcturis tamed @ 1:45AM, server time.
The Story:
It all started Jan 29, at 9pm. I just started on World of Warcraft, after a little break to fix some stuff in real life.
I looked on Wowhead, to see the new patch notes, and then I saw on YouTube right after that, "New spirit beast 3.3". And I was like, A new spirit beast? I checked out the video, and saw that the new beast was called Arcturis. I really loved the look of him, and lucky enough.. My hunter was level 74 at the time! Couldn't be more perfect.
I looked Arcturis up on wowhead, looking for tips for finding this wonderful beast.
After a long night, about 7 hours of camping at Amberpine Lodge, I gave up for the day. It was 3:47am, and I was tired.
Jan 30, 11.30pm
I started out by logging on World of Warcraft, turning up for my speakers and waited. 2 other hunters were already here, and if Arcturis will spawn, I wont get it. First off all, I'm level 74, they were 80 and Alliance (I'm horde). Hours after hours, Arcturis didn't spawn.
November 1, 9pm
I decided to log on World of Warcraft to see, if my spirit beast was spawned. It wasn't. (Sad face).
I stayed for a few hours, _NPCscan did its job. I were searching on the Internet for more hints about Arcturis, I was getting really tired.
At 5:36am, my alarm went off. It gave me a shock, and I overreacted to finally see him. I landed on the ground, about to tame him. Everything was going smooth.
* OUT OF NOWHERE * A Night Elf Warrior, level 80, comes out of Shadowmeld. He has been sitting, waiting for Arcturis to spawn! He killed me, thereafter the spirit beast. I was angry, how could a person do this? for... Fun?
November 2, 11pm
I believed in, that I could get Arcturis before server shutdown at 3am. I was sitting on my computer, while watching tv.
My friend came online, and we decided to do a Zul'gurub mount run. We didn't get any mounts. I teleported to Dalaran, it was 1:20am.
I told my friend about Arcturis, and I told him that he got killed at 5:36am. He said to me, "You should go look for him. I bet he will spawn before update. Trust me." I followed his advise.
I came to my camping spot, and was ready for everything.
1:45am
The alarm goes off. Arcturis spawned. I quickly looked around me, no one was there! He was mine.
I began to tame him, my frost trap missed. I needed to feign death. I started over again, and yet, another horde came to the spot! I was thinking, " He will kill him because I reached him first..", but no. He simply just cheered at me, and smiled.
Arcturis tamed. I couldn't thank the hunter enough, for not killing it.
Arcturis is now my pet, and I'm proud of having this really nice looking beast on my side. :)

Hmm, my only advise on taming Arcturis is to get to his only spawn point and play WoW in windowed mode and watch some videos to pass the time while keeping WoW in a smaller window. Also get the addon _NPCscanner to alert you of his presence.

Well hello there!
I tamed this beauty, today at 6:30 AM (Ragnaros-EU), at the place what was described by so many ppl : halfway trough the river and Amberpine Lodge, above the "ER".
I used this macro (I cant remember whos posted it..):
/target Arcturis
/stopmacro
/run RaidNotice_AddMessage(RaidBossEmoteFrame,"THERE IT IS! Tame Him!", ChatTypeInfo)
/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\interface\\RaidWarning.wav")
Ive decided to tame him yesterday, partly because he is simply wonderful, partly because I dont have to fly around for about 2 weeks day and night. My tactic was, that i didnt act like a zombie in front of a computer all day and night, rather Ive just set my phone to wake me up at 4:00 am, and 6:00 am. My computer is really close to my bed (immediately next to it), and it was turned on already because of torrent. So I just had to run WoW, log in, using the macro, and thats all.
So I woke up at 4:00 am today, and he wasnt there, I slept back.
I woke up again at 6:00 am, and TADA! There he is!
Ive choosen this times (4 and 6 am), because in that time playing the least ppl, and you have the most biggest chance to find and tame him without anyone interrupting you. By the way, I think the most arcticus kills happens between 15pm and 20pm (rush hour), and he has -minimum- 12 hour respawn time, so at the dawn/morning you have the best opportunitys to tame him. If you ask me in daytime (especially in rush hour), you have very bad chances...
So good luck to everybody, and yea i know, my english skills would be better :)

Here is a tip for mac users trying to find this one create a applescript to keep you from logging out this totally makes camping a passive thing and all you need do is listen for npc scan to go off here is what i use copy and paste into script editor it will make character jump every 3 min for 12 hours
repeat 240 times
tell application "System Events"
tell application "World of Warcraft" to activate
key code 49
end tell
delay 180
end repeat

Found him on Cairne-US at about 3am. Was very perplexed when I couldn't tame him and ended up killing him instead. I later realized I needed to switch to my BM spec.

Tamed this beauty at 12:35 PM on Gnomeregan (US) right at the coords listed above. The rare pet Gods finally paid back some karma today as I had only camped this target for about twenty minutes and had to log off. When I logged back in NPCScan sounded, he was no more than 30 yards away and bam a freezing trap, an auto shot and a couple of seconds of hoping no one else was around to attack it and kill him just for spite and he is mine. After camping for hours and hours for Rak'shiri and Nuramoc this was a nice change!

With that grin, I can't help but think "Cheshire Bear." Finally got this tame today, took a screenshot after using my Iron Boot Flask. That is just too perfect :)
Edit: For those that use the Pet Emote addon, this bear shares the same scripting as the spirit cats. There's something about having a Cheshire Cat looking bear that meows and purrs that I just find amazing 8P

i wanted to add this. the guy who said that this mob and all the others spawn at 5 mins before the hour and or 5 mins after the hour is right. i got mine at 6:55. logged in ever hour 5 mins before and waited 10 mins to see if it would spawn. got it in 2 days of logging in and out of my hunter just during the day. so it was like 6 hours total.

Well i have finally TAMED the beast. It took me about 12 h camping. Its totally worth it, it has decent dps (so far devilsaur onl beats him by 50 or even less), and the most coolest thing is that every one comment it (good comments ofc) , like when im in sw i dont have enough time to answer all wisps :)
Anyway i think it has a 24h min spawn time and good hunting to all future owners.
p.s. i named im arcturis beucase the name is just as cool as the pet

Realm: Thrall (US)
Spawn time: 11:20PM Server time
Time spent camping: 4 hours the previous day, 11 1/2 the day caught.
Location was exactly where everyone said it'd be. Was giving up in an hour from when it appeared. I followed another person on the name. "Karma" was appropriate for a name.
Good luck to everyone else who's wanting it. It was worth it. Two things to note was there were several "casual campers" throughout the day. I was the only one who stayed longer than 10 minutes though. Guess that proves it's worth the wait.
The other thing is people showing off theirs. Once they "show it" to you, _Npcscan did NOT alert me again. I had to clear the cache and it was alert once more. Yes the "alert even if you've cached it" button was checked, but since it's not part of the achievement list, it won't alert.
Cheers,
Valetudo; Thrall Server

I have been camping Arcturis for a while now with no luck but found something cool. Near the river he spawns next to there is a tree with some sort of face on it. The face is on the trunk about halfway up the tree. It looks like some sort of voodoo mask or some such, I wonder if this could have anything to do with a Spirit Bear.
Sort of cool to ponder as I wait on him to spawn so I can tame him :)

Just tamed at 4:41 PST on 02/27/2010. He was on the slope of the hill going down into the river towards the river with the grizzly bears. After 48 hours off and on of trying to find, left to eat dinner, came back signed and boom, there he was. Very sweet. Good luck to all still trying to find this bear. Now to find loque.

ok so this is my first comment ever, ok this is for ghostlands server, tamed at 4:15 am server, 2/28/10. this mob seems to always spawn at the top, or tail end of the hour, an for my server, its most likely to spawn(i think, seams i was right) at 2:15(am, or pm), or 4:15(am, or pm) and has 12 hour min, 24 hour max re-spawn timer. this is mostly guess work, seeing as i lost the tame 3 times this week around those times, and got him at last at 4:15am. haha im exited i was going to bed after a few daily's, but first wanted to see if my idea was right so i took a look and bammmm haha, i will be trying this out till next week i will post if my spawn pattern pans out, or if it turns out im just a lucky hunter XD
still dont know if im right yet, i need to see him again

Today a guild mate told me that he killed this guy while a level 76 horde hunter was taming it... Even for me (an alliance hunter) thought it was quite rude. Everyone had laughs with my guild mate (I was the only hunter online to feel the hunter's pain ): ) and keep talking about that poor hunter then I commented what a bastard he was... later then they kicked me, and the guild master said they don't want people who are against a guild mate for if a guild mate did nothing wrong (!).
As a hunter I respect every other hunters that are looking for rare exotic pets (see what most of these posts say, they are helping other hunters to get it. :D), horde or alliance, specially this one. And if I were looking to tame it and a hunter was already taming it, I would not kill it because :
It will be rude
There will be more competition for it
You can be reported for it I think
The guy
might
have been working for it
harder
than you did - will be rude
Surely this will get downrated
because of the guilt that people who did what my once guild mate did
and most of it had nothing to do with this guy, just mostly hunters and pets...

camping for a few days, and i tab in to see he finally spawned below me. to my horror a dk was waiting for him and immediately killed him. Look folks: drops arent worth it, you dont get an achievement for killing him, don't be an ass and kill it. There's far too many of us hunters trying to get our pet. good luck to those after this magnificent pet.

Finally......tamed on Blade's Edge at 10:30 am server time at 30, 56. Was headed to the Inn when, on a whim, just decided to check his spawn point once more. When he strolled out from under the tree, I couldn't believe it.
There I was in the wrong spec with a keeper-pet! I hurriedly changed my spec back to BM while praying that no one ninja'd him, and stabled my pet. Hit a mana pot and proceeded to tame. Well worth the wait.
Happy Hunting...

So, I normally don't make these types of assumptions, but I believe it is quite possible that Blizzard may have gotten the idea for Arcturis in part from a rare genetic strain of black bears that are called white phase bears. This article
http://www.americanbear.org/halo.htm
has a little information on them, and it refers to them as such:
These beautiful white animals are commonly known as
spirit bears or ghost bears
.
Just a shot in the dark, but I just read about these cool, rare animals a few minutes ago and it seemed like it might be more than just a coincidence. Either way, the bears themselves make for an interesting read :)

I may as well follow suit...
I had been spirit beast hunting for about 5 days with the ocassional break, Today I decided to camp my hunter over Arcturis' spawn before going to help a guild mate get a Barmans shanker. There was a 74 BE hunter sitting on the spawn when i loged off. 4 Bar runs later the guildy has the shanker, I log back onto my hunter and _NPCScan goes nuts. I was still on Skype talkin with the guild and I start sayin oh $%^&, etc. he asks whats wrong, you went all quiet. I am barely listening to him as I refocus myself, drop outta the sky, abandon Toxocara (my worm)set my trap, tap the bear and proceed to tame. he got a hit off on my before getting frozen but the tame went off flawlessly. OldBen (was thinkin Grizzly Adams meets star wars at the time, don't ask) Was tamed and trained at aprox 5am server time, Dalaran.

As soon as i hit lvl 74 on my hunter yesterday I went to his spawn spot and I found him and tamed him after about 10 mins of camping :) I put my freezing trap too close to me and it didn't freeze him and he sarted pwning me so i started running around a bit and managed to get another freezing trap down and tame him. Then today I flew in to Amberpine lodge to hand a quest and he was there again! I asked in local chat if there was any BM hunters around that wanted him but there wasn't so I killed him. I also hit 75 today so went to Zul'drak and as i was flying around my NPCscan went off and Gondria was there! But I couldn't tame her cos she was too high :(
The difference between the first time I saw him and the scond time I saw him was about 20 hours.

Just got this big guy at the same stated spot ( Amberpine Lodge, the hillside that slopes towards the grizzlies) at 814pm server time. I had been waiting all morning and gave up and went questing. Dragonblight was lagging real badly so I went to quest in Grizzly hills and as I was getting ready to head back to town NPCScan went off and I saw him. He almost killed me on the first attempt cause I was in such a rush to get him I was afraid someone else might come through and kill either me or him while taming :D. But I got him 2nd try.
edit: I play on Burning Blade (H)

I'm new to the hunter class, but as soon as I saw this guy in Dal, I knew he was a must have, for me.
Today was my lucky day, I haven't spent a great deal of time camping for him, occasionally sitting over his spawn point waiting for dungeon finder.
Today was no different, I was litterally en route to my usual camping spot, when dungeon finder popped up telling me my group was ready.
I had just clicked enter dungeon when just over the window I saw my ghostly bear.
I teleported out and flew right to him, being Horde and fearing at any moment someone would either kill him, or stop me taming him.
He was at: 30, 55
Spotted and tamed at 04:15am PST (Server maintainence scheduled for 5am)
Now for the real piece of luck, directly after I ran Old kindom (fast run, 10 mins)
I decided to camp out the hills north of Brunnhilda village hoping that on reboot I might get Skoll, to my delight Skoll was there too, sat on the metal disk.
I know this information is not relavant to Arcturis. but it may be a pattern not spotted.
It just struck me as odd to be able to tame two rare elite spawns just prior to downtime.
I will endeavour to confirm if I am either just very lucky or wether some pattern exists.

I had to post this up just to show my ordeal in trying to tame this bad boy. I camped out at the spawning spot for a total of 36 hours game time. Not straight through time mind you, but overall time; usually worked out to about 5-6 hours at a time just sitting there waiting for NPC_scan to go off. Usually in the evening and up until around midnight or 1am. I didn't run any dailies, no random dungeons, nothing during that time. I would periodically see another hunter come back for a few minutes and then leave but I stood firm saying to myself, I'm gonna get this guy no matter what. I had seen him when I was half way through 73 but of course I couldn't tame him yet.
Few things to make note of, some of which others have previously mentioned in this thread.
Play in windowed mode so you can surf the net, or do other stuff while waiting, to pass the time. I turned off the in game music and just left the ambient sounds up and turned up my volume loud so when npcscan did go off I would hear if even if i wasn't sitting at the computer..lol. Also I made sure my cache was cleared for the addon.
So finally around 830 server time last night, I had been camped out for about 3 hours or so and at the time I was sitting on the couch in the living room watching TV and kinda dozing off when out of the blue NPCscan went off! Scared the jeebus out of me! I jumped up, almost slipped and fell to run over to the comp, and sure enough there he was right beside me! I immediately backed up, dropped my freezing trap, and tagged him at max range. He jumped at me just like I had seen in the vids on youtube and got caught in my trap but he promptly busted through the trap within about 3 seconds and beat me to death! There I was after 36 hours, dead! Fortunately the graveyard is real close to the spawn point for him so I ran back hoping to God nobody else had tagged him yet and fortunately I was still the only one there. I took a minute to bandage up, ate another food buff to get myself some more health, made sure my correct aspect was still active, dropped another trap and tried it again. Same thing, he busted through my trap like it was nothing and promptly began to beat me senseless. Mind you Im 74 so Im taming him at level so he was hitting me like a freight train. I have good gear for my level but still, it was rough (gear score addon shows my at almost 2100). So after dying a 2nd time I run back, go through my same routine and began to tame again..and guess what..yep, he busted through a 3rd time so by now Im disheartened to the point of almost giving up thinking there's no way this is going to happen at 74. All this time, wasted! I decided though Im not giving up and thank goodness still nobody else was around but me. This time I bandage up, eat another food buff, and drop my Lifeblood for a heal over time (why I didn't think of this sooner I don't know), and began to tame him again. FINALLY, my freezing trap is holding and the seconds are ticking off for what seemed like an eternity. The longest 20 seconds game time I've ever had..LOL. Then with just 5 seconds left he busts through my trap and gets one good whack on me but the deed is done and he's mine!
After all this my hands were still shaking and I thought to myself, man Im such a nerd..LOL. I texted my wife who was at work and told her and she was like, yeah you're a nerd...LOL.
Ive never had a taming go that sideways before, I even have my freezing trap macro'd so that I stop all casting and attacks when I put it down, and plus I had unequipped my melee weapons. Maybe it was just my dumb luck that my traps weren't holding, who knows. So in the end was it worth, hell yeah because he's cool as hell but man that was a long time waiting for him. So yes it can be done at level but be prepared because he hits hard.

Ok here's my story! this friday I got to lvl 74 so I went to see if arc was there,he wasn't so I decided to camp. This was around 5pm . After camping all night, I got tired and went to bed. I woke up around non sayurday and a blood elf was there camping(I'm a night elf) I tried to reson with him but he said it was his. I camped with him all day and nothing. But Saturday night he brought some guildies to try and get me away. We agreed that whoever started taming first, gets him. Well around midnight server time bam he spawns right on top of me!I immediatly started taming, and I was almost done before the blood elf even noticed arc was there! Well he didn't stick to the agreement and killed him. I logged and went to bed. Next morning I go on and see a night elf camping there. He assured me he was there first and he needed a tanking pet. I let him know it's a dps pet and he said ok, I can have him. But he wanted to stay in order to beast lore him.( I was suspicious of that) well we waited and another nelf came by, positioned herself under a tree and logged. She would log on every 45 minutes to check. Around the fifth time this happened , she had just logged off when arc spawned. I started shaking like crazy, but the guy was true to his word and just beast kited it then said he's all mine. I started the tame without a trap but realized he was hitting me to hard so I feigned death and healed. Layer a trap. Froze. Tame. Done. I'm was a very happy hunter, who couldn't breath. :). Ps: named him Recon

Alright, tamed today, 6:52 am server time on US Blackwater Raiders.
I was passing through Grizzly Hills and decided to soar over Amber Pine Lodge to check on ol' Arcty (I had seen his corpse twice before, usually early in the morning), and there he was.
Despite the chaos and adrenaline surging through me, I cooly landed, laid a trap, and tamed. My hands were
shaking
Once I was halfway though taming, I turned on CAPS and had a small conniption fit in g-chat. Arcturis tamed, named him Chillpaw.

Just tamed this beautiful creature 5 minutes ago after a total of 40 hours game time spent camping. Spawned at 5:36 am PST Terenas server or 6:36 am game time. This was about 30 hours after the last known tame (to my knowledge). His spawns do seem to be random and may not be on a set timer. I would recommend camping during the late evening/early morning as I had no competition for the tame while camping the spot during those hours. Good luck to those hunters still searching for him. He is well worth the wait.

Have to add some information.
Today i saw Arcturis getting tamed at about 12 o' clock noon.
Then, approx 8 hours later i see him appear by the spawn site. As i go down to tame him, he simply vanishes :(
Sad for me because about 20 mins earlier.. as i was about to tame Skoll... a rogue killed him for achivement.. i asked wich achivement, to wich he could not answer.. oh well.
Sad sad indeed... oh well, keep on looking :)
EDIT: Just got him, at around 20.50 PM on Chromaggus, i managed to tame him. Weird thing though.. when he vanished he was probably on some timer. Because this happend twice.
The second time i noticed that the NPCscan had detected him and went down.. and just as i was about to start taming him he vanished again. I noticed that it was about 30 mins ago that he had vanished the first time. So i decied to come back about 30 mins later and see if he would appear. Well lookie lookie... he did. This time i was prepared and ready so no problemo.. i got another Spirit Beast.
So it's safe to say that... if he hasnt been tamed or killed.. chances are that he will appear for a short period of time, vanish.. and come back 30 mins later. I would've been doubtfull of those 30 mins if i hadn't seen it myself. Maybe this has been confirmed though but i havent seen anything about that.
Good hunting

Well guys I got mine. 10 pm ST on the dot. March 22. US Detheroc. I can confirm the one spawn location. I did a lot of research initially to come up with his basic spawn timer. While on Petopia.com I found that he had an 8-12 hour timer, I do not think this is the case. I had seen a level 75 hunter in Conquest hold with the pet and asked him when he tamed it. He told me that he got his the night before at 11 ST. This means that exactly 23 hours after the last spawn he popped again. I am led to believe he is on a 22-24 hour spawn timer based on research and what I confirmed. I was in vent with a friend of mine, and only 4 minutes before the spawn my friend got his second legendary (main hand warglaive). After congratulating him I told him to come camp it for me while I smoked a cig. As I waited for him to arrive I was reading over more forum posts of people catching him when on my main monitor something caught my eye. Sure enough, there he was plain as day. Shaking, I arcane shot him threw down a trap and wam bam shazam, he now stands proud next to my hunter. I can also confirm he WILL LEAP AT YOU when you get in combat. THIS MEANS, you must NOT back up after laying your trap for he will jump right over it and kill you. I was level 74 at time of tame, and he is an elite who will kill you if you do not trap. I have been told he's not the best at lvl 80, since BM is kinda gimp right now and it's not a great pet for pvp. However, at the lower levels in BG's, I have been absolutely shocked at how powerful it is. It has soloed many players as I stood stunned or silenced. Not to mention, it looks great. If you plan on camping out for any one of the four beasts, this is the one to gun for in my opinion. It only has 1 spawn point, making it easy. My suggestion is figure out the last time it spawned on your server by asking around, having a friend be near in case you have to afk, and being there about 20-21 hours after the last time tamed/killed. Good luck Hunting, it's worth it

telling when and where the spirit beasts pop is helpful but what would be really helpful is telling us what server and what server time you tamed the beast.

This is pretty obvious, but your more than likely going to be waiting a while to tame this bad boy, so take up fishing if you haven't already. There is a nice lake to fish in right next to his spawn spot, so just flip your NPC scan on and make some money/food while you wait out the spawn timer... Just a friendly tip i'm still waiting for him to spawn myself.
Edit: also if your extra cautious like me first off i
THINK
that you manually have to add him to your NPC scan and you should also probably delete your cache before waiting. His NPC ID is 38453. Make a macro like this if you want to.

Ok so, i gave up on this bear 2 days ago... I was leveling in grizzly hills and was just stopping by amberpine for some water when my NPC scan went off. It was Arcturis, i couldn't believe it! I went about 5 yards away from him laid down my trap he pounced... BEHIND me lol and kicked my ass. After a very short corpse walk i redid it, soiled myself, did a little cooky dance and tested out my new pet who is AWESOME. It just kind of sucks that BM is so gibbed at 80 i wish i could use him then so bad, but im sure ill go survival for the duration of my random dungeon T9 journey. Hes still good for daily's and the last 5 levels til 80. But the main point of me editing this is don't give up on this guy. It might take you 5 minutes, or it might take you a week but its well worth it! I named him Finally :)
One last edit, this pet seems to have about a 1 second attack speed or less and if specced in all the dmg + crit talents crits for over 500 on claws, and under the effects of kill command and beasial wrath he hits for like 1.5k+ which is very insane for pvp and pve. I wish i could see the look on some horde clothies when my pet kills them by itself!

After 7 days of daily 3 - 4 hours long waiting...
Got my arcturis today at 03:10 on my realm (Eu, Spanish realms, Los Errantes)
http://img175.imageshack.us/img175/3949/wowscrnshot040410031020.jpg
Arcturis itself is a pain in the ass for a horde to go and tame, since it right next to an aliance base.
Meaning, any random lvl 73-80 can just walk by and say like ''oh a rare elite, lets kill for epic loot''.
Anyways, im tired of having to look around, gonna go to bed, ill lvl him tomorow.
P.s, the bear uses pounce, you can tame him without traps but he does hit quite hard for his lvl.
my frost trap missed, still managed to tame him.
theres no need really to use any macro but i did incase.
ive read forums all over the web and all claim that this is the only spawn point the bear has.
Once tamed, he comes with, spirit strike (moonfire'ish spell), claw, prowl. growl. likes meat n fish.
Good luck to any hunter out there taming this fancy pet.

Finally tamed this beast!..pun intended. xD
Was waiting at the middle of the hill by Amberpine Lodge as indicated above yesterday from about 8pm till 5am with no spawn. Tired, grumpy, and slightly pessimistic, went to bed and logged back in at noon roughly. Still no spawn. Decided to just wait there and look at posts on Wowhead and such to help pass the time. Never knew waiting could be so damn tedious.
Started flying around where Grocklar and Seething Hate spawn, actually found Grocklar at 6:30pm stomping around and took him down with my warp stalker of death and destruction. Was also checking the "rumored" spawn point of Arcturis up by Grizzlemaw but he was never there. This continued till about 10pm...was getting tired of waiting...my hunter is only 75 at the moment and she could have been higher if not waiting for the damn bear.
Decided to do a random dungeon, finished it...was typing to my friend on yahoo when I hear this loud ass horn going off from npcscan. Heart pumping out of my chest, I switch over to WoW and FINALLY see Arcturis spawn at 11:30pm exactly and start walking up the hill. Set down the freezing trap near my feet since he can pounce, I used a concussive shot and spammed tame beast till he was in range.
...What? I can't tame him? I was still in MM mode from the dungeon earlier and this bear broke out of my ice trap and started beating my ass >.< Popped a feign death faster than physically possible, got up, switched specs, pointed my wolf I was using to the door, and redid the ice trap and concussive shot. Started taming him...longest 20 seconds of my life...and he was mine! :D
Took a total of 24 hours of on and off farming to get him...well worth the wait. Sure there was QQ'ing and *!@#$ing involved but that doesn't matter :D If you're still looking for him..just have patience and keep npcscan clear and your volume loud. Good luck!

Camped him all night, no luck. Went to take a shower before bed, after a refreshing shower wasn't tired, returned to game and soon as I stepped out of Amberpine Lodge, NPCScan went off, Arcturis found! I put down a frost trap, he pounced ON the trap and 20 seconds later, he's mine! :)

here is what I know.
2 days of camping. I started by camping Sunday night a little and just went to bed. Then Monday morning a guildy got the bear at about 6:30am server time and i camped that spot from 9:30am server time till 2:30 am server time tues morning and just went to bed b/c i knew server reset was not long after. I got back on right when the servers where still coming up wich was about 2pm and camped it all day and all night long until 12:30 server time for when it finally spawned on top of me and I got it.
So what is the spawn timer? I heard 10 hours, 12 hours 24 hours, and well it doesn't seem any of them times are right.
(oh and i want to thank the troll hunter on the elune server that started coming around for not killing him - was a troll hunter)

Highdee Ho everyone.
So after only 2 days camping I logged on after being out and i left my toon right at the spawn point for Arcturis and he was already there when i logged on @11 am server time on proudmoore server. Luckily for me there were no other hunters in the area and no one trying to kill him. I had Loque as my pet at the time and quickly put him away in the stables (thank god i was at 80 already) and started to tame. Now only 2 spirit beast to go. Good luck to all you hunters.

Tamed him after 3 days camping at 4am server time on Barthilus. Just out of curiosity right after I tamed him I checked on another hunter I have that's retired parked at his spawn point on another server but he hadn't spawned there. Just thought I'd share that with you all :)

Just decided tonight i'd make my offspec BM and go get this spirit beast. It was about 5am server time. (2am my time)
Pretty much walked up to the area right above logging camp...and didn't even need the macro. He was just sitting there in broad daylight waiting for me.
No camping required. Got him on first trip out on May 2nd, 2:45am pacific, forgotten coast server.

I hit 75 and immediately went looking for Arcturis. I didn't see him after a pass so I went to bed but when I awoke the next morning there he was walking near the waterfall. Captured him then finished leveling to 76 and figured id camp out Loque'nahak and wouldnt start leveling again til I caught him. When I went to the zone there were about 8 other lv80 hunters there and they were there the whole day while I casually searched the spawn points every hour or so but while I was doing it I would always see another hunter flying the spawns too trying to find him. I leveled my lock a couple levels and went back to check and there he was. Don't be discouraged if other hunters are in the zone looking for the spirit beast you want, at first I was, but persistence and patience is all you need. I never thought I would catch a spirit beast on the first day, let alone 2 of them in 24 hours and on a heavily populated server to boot. Good luck and stay vigilant.

My wife and I play together and when my hunter turned 74, the first thing I did was to head straight to Arcturis and start camping. I waited for days. Sat on the hill, turned on NPCScan, watched tv, and waited. Finally, after staying awake one night until 3:30am, the drums go off, my heartbeat spikes, and FINALLY... Arcturis is mine. Naturally I had to brag about him all day to my wife.
Of course... the next day, we were just traveling through Grizzly Hills on the way to a quest, there he is again... wife tamed him right then and there. Gah... figures.

Tamed him today, about 6:30 am on Dark Iron. When I hit 77 I decided to take a break from leveling and put in about 70 hours over the past week camping him -- he's easily the best looking spirit beast and I wanted a fun pet to do dungeons with on my way to 80.
Took a break from camping him to work on my engineering some. I was on my way back from farming up the Jeeves schematic in Storm Peaks when NPCscan went off at me and there was Skoll right in front of me. I was a bit annoyed about being too low to tame him, but I spent about 5 minutes flying over him asking if any hunters needed him. Found someone to come tame him, and then back to Grizzly Hills for me.
Well, Arcturis was waiting for me when I got back. I believe in karma now. Do something nice for your fellow hunters and something nice might happen to you :D

Just tamed him today finally at 6:06 PM on Blackhand. He spawned in his usual location, and immediately started walking up the hill after spawning.
Just so some of you dont get confused like I did... what would happen to me before is that I would switch to secondary spec, and upon switching your pet despawns. Well, every time I tried to tame something, it worked, despite me not having put my pet away in the stable. I was able to tame one of the nearby bears with no problem, and the pet I originally had out before switching specs was safe in my stables.
When I tried taming Arcturis, however, it said I had too many pets out already. Kind of odd considering all the other times I tamed things, but luckily nobody else was around, so I had time to call out another pet to abandon in order to get him.
No exact time for how long it was since the last spawn--I only checked for him when I was already passing through Grizzly Hills, or when I had nothing better to do. This time I decided to just sit and wait for him to spawn, and from the time I started waiting it was only about 3 hours until he did finally show up.
Good luck to anyone else trying to get him. The ESN Rare mob addon definitely helps a lot.
Some things to do while waiting for the spawn: You could fish, farm chilled meats, leather, or you could just do what I did and just raise your unarmed for the achievement. May as well get it before they ditch weapon skills in Cataclysm.

The beast is finally in the stable!
After a long arduous camp at the usual location, (killed and skinned ALOT of grizzlies...actually came away with 10 Arctic Furs), he finally popped for me on Saturday at 3:04 pm on Kilrogg.
I had been camping about a week, and one day I was sitting for 6 hours straight. This was last Tuesday. Well, I log off to head out and come back on that evening to find out a guildie got him around 2pm! I had just missed him! But at least I had a general time frame now.
Anyways, can't say enough about npcscan or a similar addon. Saves alot of sanity being able to switch out and do other work or what not and just listen for the alarm. But I forgot I had the volume up and when he spawned I nearly jumped out of my chair from the noise.
The adrenaline was pumping, and after reading some of the nightmare stories about taming, I was nervous since I was min level at 74. I dropped a trap at my feet and hit him with the concussion and started the tame. He was slowed but the leapt at me but the trap got him! About 15 on the longest seconds later, he was mine.
Totally worth it, and I get lots of whispers about him and how cool he looks. Good luck all!

Logged onto Thrall about 20 minutes ago and when flying through the zone, I was pressing my macro for searching for him. Nothing popped up at all. So as I was getting ready to leave, I noticed him across the water walking up the hill. Quickly had to drop down, switch specs, pull out a pet to abandon and then tame him while hoping nobody would come by.
Definitely love his looks. Had to dump my ghost Jormunger, since my other pets were Gondria, Skoll, the Ghost Hydra and the Drak'tharon raptor for running Survival spec. But I figured that would be an easier one to get at a later date then the other ones I had.

I was leveling my (Horde) Pally in Grizzly Hills and he spawned at midnight as I was collecting bear pelts.
I proceeded to take him down when a Draenai Hunter showed up.
I bubbled and ran so he could tame.
After spending nearly a year trying to get Loq (finally succeeded on Xmas morning '09!)
I felt it wouldn't be right to kill him if someone was nearby trying to tame him.

I tamed her about a month ago (sorry for the late post, only recently made an account although I've used the site for a year) on Windrunner-US.
I camped her spawn for two days straight (Mountain Dew, TV show episodes on low volume, and lots of snack foods) with NPC tracker or whatever that one add-on is, sitting on and ready (with my speakers on some questionably loud setting).
Sadly it took the full 2 days for her to spawn (no other hunters were noticed each time I popped back to my keyboard to de-/afk myself) but no competition, kill stealers, or the like were around when I grabbed her.
It's nice to get a 'Nice bear' comment everywhere now, instead of having one of those nice looking puppies from hellfire ramparts that no one seems to care about :P That and she oddly seems to have more health and armor (confirmed, she does have higher stats) than my Ghostly Worm (both pets are level 80) with the Worm being tank specced (armor, barding, stam, and the like) while Freya (Arcturis) is specced for pure damage. I like using her to tank quests that suggest parties, and do massive DPS (for a BM Hunter) in raids and dungeons.
As for tips:
She spawns right on the R in AmbeRpine Lodge, she has no patrol route - although if you're a l33t hunter, you won't give her time to patrol around ;) - and she has a 1-2 day respawn timer (so it's helpful to know when the last person tamed/killed her, and if they looted (as looting causes a quicker respawn time))
Good luck hunting, and post Screenies, everyone loves screenies.

I'd just like to say.
Arcturus (α Boo / α Boötis / Alpha Boötis) is the brightest star in the constellation Boötes. With a visual magnitude of −0.05, it is also the third brightest star in the night sky, after Sirius and Canopus.

For the love of god, make sure you put an ice trap down before you start taming him. I just logged in an my NPC scan alerted me, so i hopped off my mount and stupid me started taming him without an ice trap and realized he was going to kill me.
So i cancelled the tame, set an ice trap down, and managed to get him with a sliver of health. I nearly fell out of my chair fumbling to put an ice trap down, but yea, SUCCESS! but remember that ice trap...
FYI, i found him in the same place as everyone else, near amberpine lodge, on the slope right next to the waterfall and the lodge at about 1:24am west coast server time.

Here's what I did to tame this bad boy. I wanted to tame it myself before I posted my strat so no one would be doing the same thing on my server :). It's also a bit drastic, but as soon as i thought it up, I had the pet in 2 days.
Here's what's needed:
1.) Laptop with _NPCscan. (make sure you clear your cache)
2.) Ability to sleep lightly.
In a nutshell, all I did was camp this spot (right above the BER in Amberpine) with my laptop sitting next to my pillow as I slept, NPCscan worked as an alarm...woke me up and I tamed him. Also, if you're worried about getting DC'd from being afk, have no worries! Blizzard has a built in solution for waking you up if you get DC'd. It's called Sindragosa's roar right in your face. If that doesn't wake up up when the speakers are right next to you, I don't know what to tell you. He spawned for me at 2:42am server time (4:42 my time). I was groggy, and didn't place my trap properly. Guess what happened? He killed me (@lvl76). LUCKILY no one else was around so I was able to run back and tame him correctly. My heart was beating as if I had just ran 2 miles, was quite a rush!
GL GUYS!

Heh man, I camp this thing all day yesterday, and nothing. I log on today after work, nothing. Fly over to Sholazar and back, and look, there he is. Caught all 4 spirit beasts now, and camping hasn't aided me on a single one of them. Don't drive yourself insane, I'd just pop by every now and then.

Confirmed: Just tamed hit exactly at the 21 hour spawn time.
Only location ever to be seen is the amberpine. Just like the guy who said he got his at 21 hours i tamed one for my guildy.Went back and camped him,Silverdragon addon told me it had been 21 hours since last spawn and bam outta nowhere he spawned tamed his maybe 5 mins ago.So its safe to say he is 21 hour spawn time if no one tamed him or killed him before you got there.

Found him on that same spot everyone is talking about. I stalked him from 7:30pm server time until 11:30pm server time the next day. I started camping him at 7:30pm, I logged out at 1:30am, in the four hours I logged off to get some sleep, it was tamed at 2:30 server time. After I resumed my stalking at 5:30am and stayed there until 11:30pm when my NPC Scan went off and it spawned right under me. It spawned exactly 21 hours after it was last tamed.
He'll jump at you the first time so make sure you have your freezing trap out so he'll land on it or so you can lead him to it once he's beating on you. He broke out of it the first time and almost killed me. I had to feign death, use a heavy frostweave bandage (and got the Ultimate Triage achievement btw) and a mana pot. I layed down the trap again, and used Conc. Shot on it and started taming it. It slowed down enough and got frozen and I was able to get it. I tamed him at level 75.
Good luck to all of you who want him. And be patient!

Well i read most of the notes on here and I was sure it spawned late night. It's a cool pet but I have been farming it for the last 5 nights <12am to8am > <server> and I just watched another hunter get this nice pet. I hope he is happy. It was at 2:30am server time <mok' nathal> but I hope I get it tomorrow night hopefully i will.

I logged onto my hunter for first time in a week and had left him right by the bears spawn point when i turned around he was right there staring at me i then proceeded to tame him but then 2 seconds from taming i had a server restart initialize causing me to not get my final spirit animal all i have to say is why Blizz why!
FYI: he was at the spawn point marked on the map at top of first screen
i forgot who it was but the person who said he appeared around top of hour was right cause it was 3:00 PM at server restart

Killed him today on my Shaman at around 7:08 server time. (Pacific timezone) He dropped a Pristine Glowbear Pelt of the Necromancer which was Leather and had 85 stamina, 56 Hit and 66 Spellpower on it.
And for you hunters - Yes, I did check around for someone who would want to tame him. The only one who popped up in the next five minutes was a warrior who also wanted to kill him.
I would of tamed him myself, but my hunter is three levels lower and on the wrong server. >.<
Edit: Forgot to say he spawned at the bottom of the hill Amberpine Lodge is on, closest to the part where the ground smoothes out so a player can run down from the Lodge to the river and vice versa.

I made an account just to tell you that I can confirm that he spawns on the hill mentioned.
I was up till 6 am camping that spot, went to bed and woke up at 3 pm and he was standing right infront of me when I logged in.

Wait
Found it at 30 55. I called my friend who is currently lvling a hunter, at lvl 74. I waited there for about 10 minutes, it was just walking at the same place at all times. I think it's the only spawn location. So if you want this pet, just camp 30 55 for a few hours and you'll get it. Easiest pet to get i guess.
I was questing and NPCscan poped up.

Sigh. Some asshat dwarf hunter just killed him while I was taming him. Camping for hours straight, i take a break, do a random check on my druid, he's up, rush the hunter back. I'm nearly done taming him, dwarf shows up, uses taunt shot to break the tame spell, and then kills him.
Why do people insist on being such #$%^&*bags?

OMG! I can't believe I just got him! I only decided to try and tame him this very morning!
So, just like the others posts reported, I camped just north of Amberpine where the ground slopes down toward the river at the waterfall. And for only about an hour or so! Lucky me! But I only really started paying close attention about 10 mins till the top of the hour, as another hunter (rimacready) stated that he had the best luck between 5 till and 15 after the hour. Then low and behold but what do I see at 6:05 am server time? Arcturis spawned right before my eyes! I quickly abandoned my trash pet and set about taming him immediately! Thanks for all the great info everyone and I wish all you hopeful hunters the best of luck! Happy Hunting ;-> !

Success!
After many hours on and off camping this guy I had just about given up vying for the spot with alliance hunters.
Just tamed at 3:58am server time on the Azjol-Nerub realm.
He spawned just behind the Tallhorn Stag that wanders about at the top of the hill - which I had just happened to hit autofire (multishot) at /palm - and managed to pull them both to my surprise.
He does a pounce onto you like feral druids can do (feral charge - cat form) so be careful, either chuck a frost trap right underneath him or tag him and put one under your own feet if you feel the need to trap :)
I waited from about 1am server time for him and leveled my fishing skill in the water next to the spawn point.
Was lvl 74 on tame.
Good luck guys!

Hey, I just wanted to add my info for hunters looking for this pet. On one of the sites I poured over looking for a spawn timer, place of spawn..etc. Someone said 21 hours. Whoever did? Thanks. I'll pass that on as
fact
. Not only have I gotten my bear from that piece of knowledge, I shared this info with the three campers that were there when I arrived finally and they all got theirs also with some patience.
- Spawns exactly where the map says. He wanders a few feet up and down that hill, in the middle, but stays on the slope.
-
21 hour spawn timer!
(cant stress this enough, don't kill yourself camping if you know when he was last tamed/killed)
-
Important:
The timer resets with server maintenance. Which means, though he was tamed at 1am, when servers went down at 7am it changed the respawn time from 10pm to 4am (this is when I got mine) sooo if you don't know when it was last killed and don't want to wait? wait for maintenance day and you'll have an exact spawn time ready.
- You do not have to have aggro to tame it. (incase you didn't know) which means if you have problems, bring a tank along to hold aggro for you. No tank? stand back as far as you can, drop your freeze trap before you.. wait till he wanders back into your range and press tame. He'll run at you, dun move! the trap will get him and before he breaks out you'll have your bear. If the trap doesn't work, or misses (for whatever reason) feign death, try again.
- There is only one spawn point, its right where the map says.
-His level is 74 (I kept reading people saying they've seen him at 75, we have yet to see it.)
Good Luck! And.. hey.. this guy isn't going anywhere, there is no need to steal it, or eff someone over to get it. Being respectful and helpful to the other campers is good Karma. <3

Just tamed him on Feathermoon server, Horde-side at 4:05pm server time. Exactly where everyone says he is, just wandering around amongst some deer and a little skunk! I was quite surprised to see him untouched, as I've seen him dead before much to my dismay. Swooped in, arcane shot (1), frost trap, tame. Easy as pie, and now he's a lovely addition to my stable. Hopefully Skoll is next!

Even though this is a Bear, it is not a Tenacity (tank) pet. It is under the ferocity talent tree, also he does
not
keep his pounce ability after you tame him.

All the posts here have been extremely useful, in particular, the 12-21 hour spawn timer, and the up to +/- 5 mins from the hour, the cache deleting data. the up to the hour timing has worked for me where i caught him at 4:08 server time dawnbringer, and looking at the other comments it seems that the timer more or less rounds up or down to the nearest hour (or half hour in a fewer number of cases), and spawns from there. I just cappd him and will now indulge in some much needed sleep : ), after 3 days of on and off camping.

>> Spawned right where the previous posts said it would be. Just outside Amberpine lodge. <<
Waited 35 mins for a failed que into an instance on an alt. Figured I would fly by on quest turn in. Thought to myself how cool would it be to see it now....i would so drop out of que and log into my hunter to do it. At 8:55pm server time on Spirestone, I switched tonns then switched specs and scrambled all random skills just to tame and then had to swap out pets for one to abandon THEN i drank to use the tame pet ability. Guess I was real lucky for being REALLY unprepared. Definatly worth dual speccing just to tame this guy IMO.

Been camping him where everyone says for about 7 hours now, on and off. Another thing jerk hunters like to do is, if they can't reach me, they come up under me and pull out their own arcturis pet, causing my alarms to go off. -_- Had it happen twice now by 2 different alliance tards. Go get some pvp gear you crazy alliance kids, I've been whooping your butts at the logging grounds.
Edit: 7 hours of camping paid off, shortly after posting this he spawned at 10:16 pm server time, shattered halls. Happy hunting everyone!
Also, very easy to tame, just set freezing trap right in front of you, then tame. He didn't break out of the trap for me, so he may not be able to anymore.

Is an Exotic Rare, can be frozen trapped, Aspect of the Monkey +Gift of Naaru (If you're Dreanei), besides that its easy. Just got mine about an hour ago, I would insist Hunters get NPCscan in case you just need to know for sure if he spawned. I winged it and flew in with Track Beasts, surprised to see him there, he has a very short path. Be weary he is sought out by many hunters and even more Haters. Horde will definitely kill.

I started hunting out for him at 3:30 PM Eastern Time and finally around 10:00 PM Eastern Time, he spawned. I stayed there the WHOLE time and another hunter were looking for him also but had to leave. So I got lucky. This is also on Echo isles server, and not sure what time it was on the server time.
Before I knew it and before he was tamed, almost died because I didn't set out a frost trap and I am a fresh 80 Hunter. I was about to "freak" because my health got so low. So reminder for fresh low gear Hunters, make sure you set out a trap just in case.
Very excited and happy with my results of waiting for him. He is full of awesomeness! Yes I know, it makes me sound like such a nerdy girl but it's mostly because this is my first SB and I am brand new to Wow! So I don't care!
Good luck everyone!

This bear was my 1st spirit bear, I tamed them all as I leveled but this one took the longest.
With the debate on the spawn times it seems he has the longest one. Either that or I was just unlucky, though being that I got Loque within 6hrs and Skoll I believe within 7-8hrs and Gondria within 3 mins. I think these beasts had spawn points of 6-10 hrs... Gondria maybe shorter (a guess because I found him right away).
But with Arcticus I camped out 12hrs+ and it did not show up. I did not do any instance I just watched movies the whole day and nothing... The next day I camped out at least 10 hrs and still nothing. Then the next day after work noon time EST He shows up within 2 hrs. I've read that his spawn times can be from 19-22 hrs which is ridiculous but I must say. I'm proud to have him :)
And it's not so bad being that there is only one spawn point :D Though competition can be hell >_<

Got him at 12:15 Am on Dalaran
Here are the tactics I used:
One, don't just set there. You'll go crazy waiting for this guy to pop up. Get the npc scan addon, turn your volume all the way up on your speakers, and go do something else. As long as you can hear the "gong", you'll be good.
Two, simplify your action bar. You don't want to go hunting for the 4 keys you need if you're competing with other hunters. I used one of my empty bars, put Freezing Trap on 1, auto shoot on 2 (Just to discourage other people from trying to tag/kill him while I'm taming), then tame beast on 3. Pop 1, pop 2, pop 3. Then Feed Pet on 4. You DID remember to bring some extra food, right?
Three, where to camp. I was between the two rocks halfway down the hill, and he spawned about 60 yards down the hill from me. Assuming you're looking down at the Alli island between the rapids, move down and to your left; just over the top of the little hill/bump in the terrain.
Camped out for about 12 hours over 2 days. I'd set everything up, then go do the dishes, catch up on tv, whatever. What's nice is this guy is only one spawn point, and we're far enough into the xpac that there isn't much competition for him, at least not on dalaran. This brings me to 2/4 in Spirit Beasts after running across Loque a few days ago. Now the question becomes if I should go after the puppy or the kitty next. Happy hunting out there folks.

I just got this wonderful wonderful bear tonight at roughly 8:45 pm Shadowsong server time. I was headed over to his area just for fishing and skinning and lo and behold, NPCscan goes off with him. I'm a level 76 BE Hunter. Just barely getting him tamed and I die. Shakily, I resurrect and hit 'Call Pet' and there he is, in all of his ghostly glory. I scream and nearly jump out of my seat, scaring and exciting my roommates in the process.
I had previously camped several times with no success, giving up in the process. I'd check in every once in a while with still little luck. I wish the best of luck to all who want this wonderful pet. Its worth the effort!

My advice as a fellow hunter is to just be patient. There is no particular method to getting the spirit beasts. I have seen them all spawn at different times. It is completely random. I logged in at around 6:15 a.m. one morning to find a dang pally killing Arcturis. >:( Later in that same evening I continued my camp for him (in hopes) and after about 5 hours of waiting - BAM! Npcscan goes off and there is Arcturis literally standing on top of me (12:40 a.m.). Frost trap + Tame beast and I am now a proud tamer of Arcturis! :) As I stated earlier, just be patient, have your Npcscan running, and make sure your cache is cleared each time before you log in. It is well worth the wait ;)
P.S.
A few tips to help pass the time while you wait - run in windowed mode and surf the net or watch movies. Npcscan will let you know when they spawn (just be sure to hop over and clear your afk every now and then). - there's always fishing or working on other skills to get yourself some gold ;) (skinning, mining, herbing, etc.)

On a lark I flew over to predesignated coords and found him all by his lonesome. No special macros or anything. I just Tracked Beast, found him, dropped down off my 2 seater and tamed that bad boy! All in all total time was 3 minutes cuz I had to fly from under Dalaran where i was hunting Dragonkin. Ez pz lemon squeezy...dont know what all the fuss is about. The time was ~1am-1:15am Durotan server time. For The Horde.
Happy Hunting,

Just to confirm, Arcturis does not share spawn timer with other rare NPCs. I was looking for him between the 2 confirmed spawn points then dungeon queue popped. The second I teleported back to Grizzly Hills my NPC Scan goes off finding
Seething Hate
. As I approach the most popular spawn point for Arcturis, near Amberpine Lodge, my NPC Scan announces again that it found another rare npc, the one and only Arcturis. Neither one of them was up before I took the queue.

Found Arcturis in his spot after encountering Gondria in Zul'drak. Whispered the same guy who got Gondria to get this one as well. I actually decided to offer him to another random hunter at first, but the guy I was offering the pet to did an unexpected thing: He
declined
my offer (and no, he didn't decline because he had it, he declined because he was too lazy to switch to BM and come to Grizzly Hills).

Arcturis was the last spirit beast I needed to complete the set, and even though he should theoretically be the easiest since he only has one spawn point, I camped the longest for him.
After 3 1/2 days of camping for hours at a time, I logged on last night after work at 9:30pm. I had logged out at the spawn point, so when I logged back on, I was right there. My NPCscan went off and I was so relieved to finally have found him! However, when I targetted him, it was a dead corpse =( Just a few minutes too late...
So based on the fact that I've read that his spawn timer is anywhere from 10-21 hours, I decided to set my alarm for 7:30am the next morning - 10 hours after finding him dead. So I woke up at a little before 7:30am, very disoriented and tired... but log onto my hunter who I had left at the spawn point.
As soon as I log on, my NPCscan goes off and there he is - alive this time, and just ambling around unnoticed by anyone this early in the morning. Still half asleep, I abandon my trash pet and forgetting to do the frost trap, start the tame. At one point about halfway through, he hopped over me and for one horrible moment, I thought someone else had aggro'd him - but the tame continued, and I was all alone. He hopped over me one more time before the tame finished and he took his rightful place at my side =)
So I am able to confirm the 10 hour spawn timer. If you at least get a sighting of him - even if he's dead, you can use that information to time your next hunt.
Good luck!

I logged onto my hunter, who was at Conquest Hold at roughly 2:20am server time today on Cenarion Circle and flew over to his spawn points. He was just wandering along the river. I abandoned my current pet, dropped a freezing trap, keeping in mind his pounce, and started taming. I had no problems whatsoever as there was no one nearby and the trap kept him nice and still lol.
My first Spirit Beast, and from what I understand, the easiet given his small range. Or maybe the hardest, given the proximity to the Horde and Alliance towns. All in all, the advice I read on here has been more than helpful. And I had been camping him a few hours earlier, but I was feeling too tired to focus on the screen so I logged out.

I tamed him this evening, using NPCScan and NPCScan Overlay. I went to the area highlighted on the map by the latter addon (after clearing my cache out of Dalaran) and just sat there, alt tabbed, working.
I had him tamed within 15 minutes of sitting there, within 25 minutes of hitting level 74.
Very, very pleased.
As an additional note, NPCScan Overlay highlights the same spawn zone as indicated in the map on this page. You will not need to move at all; just hover.

hey guys i just tamed the spirit bear today Sept 27 at 11:30 pm central time 12:30am server on Elune server . cords 30.56 is a confirmed location for this rare elite. He spawned right on top of me when i was watching man vs food after camping him for only 3-4 hours i guess he must of been hungry lol j/k this was my first attempt to tame him. not sure what his spawn cycle is but i hope this helps you all . have a good one......
btw don't you think its bs that you can only use spirit beasts as a BM spec. i think wow should change it to where you have to tame them as BM but after that you can use them with whatever spec you chose

After searching for him for three days, I had finally almost given up. I decided to head to Grizzly Hills to look for Arcturis once again. Alas he was not there, but I set my trusty _NPCScan and cranked my speakers, then went AFK. About 15 minutes later all the bells and whistles started going off, so I ran to my keyboard and there was the sexy ghostbear!
After taming Arcturis, I decided to stop by Storm Peaks for the heck of it and look for Skoll, and lo and behold the first spawnpoint I flew over (while on "NUMLOCK autopilot" getting my morning coffee) set off the gongs again!
Spawns found on Ysera - US:
Arcturis - 7:12 AM 9/30/10
Skoll - 7:20 AM 9/30/10
Good Luck!

I camped this guy for about nine hours last night, and I've never had much luck with camping so of course he never showed. I hadn't gotten enough sleep before to pull off a full day of watching the spot, so I had to call it off and sleep. Popped in later and checked it around the top of the hour for the next few hours that afternoon before running into an alliance hunter that also wanted to add it to her collection. (She had the other three. ;;) I didn't feel like being competitive, so I left it to them. Came back later and found them gone, then stood around for a bit.
Then lo and behold, he spawns right behind me! Couple minutes after the hour. No competition around, I tame it on the spot. It's all about luck, guys, so good luck to everyone after it!

So recently I decided Id love a spirit beast for lvling in cata for bm. So I decided I'd have the best chances with Arcturis so I began my camping, few hours in I go off and get something, come back 2 miunutes later pan my camera around and he's there. Fantically dismounted and spammed the tame. It gets to half way and a warrior who shall remain unamed charged in waving axes around and downs the beautiful bear. A few unpleasant terms are thrown his way and he just doesn't get it ... Back to the long hours of waiting
P.S it was killed 8:27pm Aman'thul

So this morning I was just flying over the spawn camping it and while I was sitting on my couch my npcscan went off for him. I immediately told my friend to log over so she could tame it since I had gotten it two nights before for my boyfriend. The first was a pure accident and I assumed she spawned around 4am or so not sure I just happened to find her around 445am that morning. But this morning she spawned at 4am on the dot. I was happy to get him for some friends.

I was looking for him this morning at his spot. I sat there for about 15 mins and he wasn't around. Just as I was going to leave he spwaned right in front of me.
I wasn't ready for him so in the process of trying to tame him before some alliance came by and killed him on me, I traped one of the deer, or what ever they are that run around his spwan point, then ended up getting attacked by him and a deer while trying to tame him.
This is the first time I've actually ever tried to find this guy... I think I just got lucky, because he's not that easy to find.
Anyway, I can confirm that he spwaned at 5:27:38 AM server time, because he popped right in front of me.
I've got them all except for Skoll now... so I'll be camping him for sure now. I stopped camping pets because my stable was full, and all my pets were rare. But now that I can store 25 pets.. It's time to start camping again!

I just got Arcturis after a long time spent camping! :)
Server: Dark Iron (US)
Spawn Time: 10:07 pm PST
Date: 10/14/2010
I started camping on and off around 9 or 10 pm on 10/13. I stayed until 2 am, when I went to bed. When I logged off, there were 3 Horde hunters (I'm Alliance) hanging around. The next morning, I went on at 10 am and not long after, those same three hunters showed up, so I'm going to guess that none of them managed to tame it during the time I was asleep - not sure if it was killed or it just didn't spawn. I parked myself there and stayed until 4 pm, when I had to leave. At 4:30 pm another Horde hunter showed up and started camping - he was still there at 5:30 pm when I came back. Arcturis still hadn't shown, and according to that hunter, he had been seen and killed the night before, but I'm not sure when - definitely not while I was there, though. So, I buckled down and began waiting again.
Eventually another Horde hunter showed up. For the most part he ignored me, but around maybe 9:45 pm he started shooting at me and killed me a few times (he was much better geared than me, and I wasn't paying much attention because I'm supposed to be working on my math take-home midterm...). I knew I wouldn't be able to fight him off if Arcturis spawned, so I resigned myself to the fact that I wouldn't be taming him this time around. I stuck around, however, because I still wanted to figure out the spawn time.
Finally, at 10:07 pm, NPCscan starts going crazy, and sure enough, Arcturis has spawned next to that clump of three trees on the slope next to Amberpine Lodge (No coords, sorry). That Horde hunter was hovering right over Arcturis, but he must have stepped away for a second because he didn't do anything. So, I jumped in and started taming. Success! The other hunter came back a few minutes later and killed me/my new pet, but it was worth it. :-D
No name yet... Leaning towards Nocturne.

Attempted to tame him yesterday but got eaten by two level 80 alliance hunters JUST as he spawned:( Was surprised I only waited around for about half an hour before he popped up right in front of me as I died, same place everyone else seems to be finding him, near amberpine. Went back but the alliance were still hanging about (one had tamed him so presumably was now staying to help the other fight off any competition!) and didn't fancy being killed repeatedly all night...
Will probably go back and try again sometime, maybe not until I ding 80 though.
Kolvia: I think Nocturne is a lovely name:) I can never think of anything to name my pets, they're all just Cat/Wolf/Bear atm, very boring!

Just now caught him. I started camping for him today, only spent about an hour between 11:30 a.m. -12:30 p.m., then went and did some VoA's and other things. Deciding to go back and check before another VoA, I came to the location between the "E" and the "R" in the name of Amberpine Lodge and he was standing right there. Dunno for how long but it was 1:55 p.m. server time. I dropped a freezing trap where stood and tamed him without a problem. Thanks for all the previous posts everyone to help me get this awesome beast!

I'm a bit disappointed in Arcturis... when I saw him at first I thought 'ooh, a bear! what a perfect pet tank he'll be'! but it turns out he's ferocity too... what a let down! Suppose I should have looked that up first, though.

Server: Malygos (US)
Spawn Time: 4:35 AM on October 17th
Farmed him for 6 and a half hours and I can happily say that he quite literally snuck up behind me. I nearly had a heart attack when he entered the view of my screen. It looks like he doesn't spawn down by the river, but somewhere else instead, though he was heading to the river bank when I started to tame him. He walks inbetween the northern path and the Lodge, and then proceeds to walk up the river bank. With this I can confirm that his respawn is indeed over 6 hours. I have another player who will hopefully update me with the time it spawned for him, if he is indeed there to catch it tomorrow.
As for names, since my hunter's name is Fatedartemis I've actually been taking the names of other greek gods that she's conquered and using them as pet names.

Found him 5:05PM Ner'zhul time with NPCscan.
Was tired of looking for Gondria after a few hours so checked for Arcturis. Ganked some guards at the town for 5 min and left when Alliance showed up. Then he spawned right under me. Good thing the nearby Alliance didnt follow! I had checked a couple times in the past but nothing serious like for Skoll/Loque'nahak so this was definitely luck. Only Gondria left!

After a week of constantly flyong over and 2 days of intense camping I finaly tamed this beauty. I think I never seen so many hunters flying over and checking for this bear on the spot next to Amberpine Lodge. The day before I tamed him, me and a Dreanei huntress were both camping there. At 03:30 I got tired and went to sleep. The next morning I logged in and there was nobody at the spot where he spawns. So I created an Aliance character to talk to the Dreanei hunter. She told me that she tamed Arcturis around 06:00 that morning. So now I finaly had a time indication. I remained at the spot all day long untill 00:30 I was getting tired and wanted to go to bed, but I afraid when I would log off he would spawn and probably get killed. So I decided to hang around for another hour. While I was reading info about Arcturis and spawntimers. I chechked my screen every now and then. At 01:30 I checked once again. And I almost got a heartattack when I saw him right on top of me! I didn't even put a frost trap. I started taming right away. Lucky there was nobody near. I named him Ursoc. After the Mighty bear from Ursoc's Den Quest. Now Im a proud owner of Skoll, Loque'Nahak and Arcturis. Still need Gondria to put my obsession for Spirit Beasts to rest :)

Guys,I have an abosolutely amazing story about spirit beats and rares.First of all I'll say that I am on Quel'Dorei Allie N.Elf hunter aswell as many others.This all began three days ago when i decided I wanted to tame one of the rares in Sholazar Basin I spent all day Oct.15 looking for Loque'Nahak,Aotona and King Krush.Well at about 2am(all times will be server times) and not the first sighting,I decided I would go to Grizzly Hills and try my luck on Arcturis. I arrived at about 2:10 server and started my camp. I decided I was going to stay there until I tamed this beast. Well 8:30am rolled around and no sighting yet.At this time I had been up since 7am the prior morning and was burnt out,my wife tells me its time to go lie down being I can barely hold my eyes open.She promised to watch the spot for me until I got up in a few hours.About the time I decide to go to bed(9am) a rolling restart comes and server shuts down. I go to bed with the hopes of getting up in a few hours and finding my wife has tamed this animal for me.So i get uo at 1pm to find her still sitting and waiting.I take over and wait and wait and wait.other hunters come and go repeatedly and I just knew that when this bear spawned it was probably going to get killed instead of tamed due to all the hunter activity.Well by this time it is 2am Oct 17 and I was discouraged as a person could be.I decided I was going to give it untl 6am and call it win lose or draw.Well about 3:30 I am the only 1 there and I dose off,well at 4:45 the NpcScan alarm goes off, and I have it loud just for the reason of the possibilty of my falling asleep, the noise almost makes me soil myself. I look up and here is this magnificent blue spirit beast of a bear.. it shakes me up so bad i panic and almost forget my name more less what to do to tame it =)).I get it together and get it tamed. Thank goodness for me being the only one there.Well later that day I decide I wanna try Gondria,just on a spur of the moment thing,I make the loop and sure enough at 77.70 there she stands in all her glory.So I get her tamed.Well today Oct 18 I go back to Sholazar and at 10 am I get Aotona.my wife was like wow you're having some luck. So I go around doing quests and such,Lo and behold 7:10pm rolls around and I come across King Krush at 47.43,I get him tamed, I tell my wife I have heard that Krush and loque spawn pretty close together in time, so on a whim I head over to the hot spot for Loque around the bones near nesingwarys camp around 28.67 and Lo and behold 5 minutes after taming King Krush I have Loque'Nahak tamed and part of my AWESOME stable of rare pets. I know people who have for months tried to get one of these awesome animals and in two days I have gotten five of them,three in one day.I am a firm believer in karma, and even more so now.I guess after dedicating nearly two full days of non-stop camping for Arcturis,I had some good karma working for me and allowed me to get all of the other pets.If there is one thing I can tell anyone that is still trying to get one of these awesome pets is,persistence pays off.I honestly believe if I wouldn't have spent all that time trying to just see,muchless tame Arcturis,that I wouldn't have any of these wonderful animals.I am sorry for the long story,but I just had to share my good fortune with you guys and gals.These last three days have been the best days of my 4.5yr WoW history! Another thing I would like to do,is give mad props to NpcScan and NpcScan Overlay's.Those addons are a must have for anyone wanting to find any rares for any reason.Along with those addons helping me find all my rare pets,I also found,without even trying to,the Crazed Indu'le Survivor right outside of stars rest and Tukemuth right outside of the wyrmrest temple.both of which are a part of the Frostbitten Achievement and both dropping a blue BoE and 20+ gold and a stck of frostweave.So guys those addons are worth it..IMHO they are some of the most handy and usefull addons in-game.So if any of you guys are ever on Quel'Dorei look up my hunter Xancou (Alliance of course :p) and i'll be more than happy to show off my Beautiful assortment of awesome rare elite pets :p.So I hope some of you can find something in my story that can help, and maybe find it a little interesting if not inspiring.Until next time guys..HAPPY HUNTING! For The Alliance...
P.s I named Arcturis,, Arktos I named Gondria,, Yata,and I just renamed Aotona with the same name, until I can think of a real good one..
As far as King Krush and Loque I haven't thought of a good name for them yet, but when I do I will Pst them..Ok bye for now..

After 3 (more or less) straight days of camping I FINALLY got this guy. The time was 9:13(ish).
My strategy:
I was logging on every hour 5 minutes before the hour just to check because I heard that he can spawn roughly 5 minutes before and after the hour. I got lucky. It was halloween at the time and after 9:00 I left to go trick or treat (I gave up early instead of waiting 5 minutes after the hour like I usually do). My timer on the trick or treat buff was still at 11 minutes and so I waited. I came back to my screen trick or treated and the innkeeper at conquest hold and flew immediately over to his spawning point to log out....which is when I saw him walking down the hill. Nobody was around so I tamed it =)
I hope this helped!
Happy hunting! And good luck!

Pleased to say that I tamed this guy at 11:30 pm on shadow council server. I think I had the same thoughts as many others, extra stables, let's go tame everything we couldn't before.
I had 5 I didn't want to let go of, and that is loque,KK,aotona, gondria and skoll. This bear, tho cute was not on my top 5 list.
I remember seeing it 4-5 times in the past, now when looking, it seemed nowhere.
To make this worse, at any given time there were 3-7 other hunters there too. I camped this last night for 3 hours, and then again today from 3 pm until 11:30. It was just luck that I happened to be the hold out and be there alone.
I knew that if he showed up with the other people and other faction, most likely someone would kill it rather than let it be tamed. But I accepted that, and realized that at least I'd know if it shows up or not.
I think right now it's going to be dicey to get this guy. Might get easier one cata hits due to newer pets.
I'd suggest that if you want him now, you'll need to camp it and not leave ( if you're seeing other hunters there.)
I saw a lot of people come by, stay a while, but in the long run I was able to tame him because the others left.
WHERE
: I wanted to give a better idea where I found it. I was using npc scan, and had him tamed in seconds because I was so close.
Let me try to explain. If you were to stand on the hill where people see it spawn, look at amberpine lodge on that hill. Notice the rock formation.(sort of a retaining wall) It kind of wraps around the dirt. If you were to walk from the lodge on the back path ( passing the guy carving the deer) then head toward the hill ( or turning to the left) and walk almost straight to 2 trees, one very large and one small. Just a few feet past them, a tad toward the water is another large tree and small tree.
One you stopped at the first set of 2 trees, to your right are 3 med boulders, somewhat separated- just next to them is a set of 2 large boulders together.
I was standing right behind that first set of one large tree and one small. Once npc scan went off ( I freaked) and then looked to my left and then saw Arcturis. Not directly next to me, closer to the water than I was, but not by the water.
All I had to do was hit tame, it was that close. For me anyway, he appeared higher up on the hill. I know this explanation must be confusing, but coords are not going to help in such a small space.
I know horde cannot walk up amberpine lodge, it was more a way to describe the landmarks.
The two landmarks I would keep in mind are the rock retaining wall (small end of it) and the cluster of 3 med boulders.
Then between those and somewhat toward the stream is a place to keep an eye on.
If it were just a matter of waiting for the spawn, I don't think "
exactly
" where would matter. But if you have 3-4 hunters waiting, it would be possible to tame it while someone else is looking the other way.
I just hope that if it comes to 3-4 people wanting him that no one kills it. Back off for now. Let
someone
get it. You have some advantage now, you know when he last spawned.
Good luck, but it's also going to take patience! OTOH, if you're not up to this, wait for the ex pac, I think more hunters will be looking for some even newer pets.

For those on The Maelstrom EU - I found him just above the "BER" im ambermill on the map. Around 4:27am after no-one seeing him or taming for around 48hours.
I suggest putting down a freezing trap down seems he hits a bit hard...well obviously seems he's a rare elite >.> but me being sleep deprived ran in without thinking and eventually twigged "o yeh...i should freeze the bugger" hehe :P

Spawned at 2 AM CST and again at 9:30 PM CST. I never left that spot. So 19.5 hours. He spawned exactly on the half hour mark at the later time. The first was within 5 minutes of 3 - I wasn't the person who tamed so can't be more specific.

Spawned at almost exactly 1am server time, next spawn at 10.36pm so a respawn time of about 21.5hrs, which seems to tally with what most people are experiencing.
Just to vent my spleen a little... on our (PvE) server we've been blessed with a nelf Arena Master hunter in top pvp gear, flagged for pvp and trying to fight anyone in the area. At the 1am spawn, a fellow hordie started taming and the nelf preferred to kill Arcturis rather than let anyone else tame him. Just... spectacularly.... lame. At the 10.36pm spawn, I started taming, the nelf attacks Arc to break my tame and then starts taming him himself. So, I can attack Arc myself and we can carry on squabbling til he dies and we repeat the whole process the next day, or I can let him complete his tame and hopefully that'll be the last I see of him in the area. It IS giving in to lame bullying tactics, but to be honest it's probably easier in the long run. He even had the grace to /lol at me when he completed his tame... UK readers beware, half term has started and we can expect a lot more of this behaviour over the next week ;-(
EDIT - Next spawn was 9.46pm the following day, so just over a 23hr gap that time. Couple of alliance hunters nearby, but they were kind enough not to kill him after I'd started the tame. So, to the nelf from the previous day I say: Shaethi of Quel'Thalas, you had him for less than a day more than me, and for that all you had to do was be a total %^&*!@... was it worth it?

Coilfang server
10/23/10 9:30pm server time
Arcturis finally spawns after waiting at his spawn point since 7am that morning. A bloodelf hunter named Enrix shows up to the spot a few moments before running around with his own personal Arcturis pet. I start to tame him and the bloodelf hunter kills Arcturis mid tame then smites my face and body camps me after. Somehow i got the loot for the kill but the glowbear pelt just makes me sad... Going to try again tonight however but just a heads up to watch out for him.
Yes this is a pvp server and yes I know pvp happens but what he did was uncalled for!
Update 10/24/10
Arcturis spawned again 9:36pm server time! This time I was able to tame him with nobody else around =D!

I had been waiting 24+ hours for him to respawn on my lvl 75 alliance hunter. There was this lvl 80 horde hunter griefing me constantly. Emoting, sitting on me, following me around, even to the lodge. He wouldn't leave me alone. Arcturis finally spawns. I tagged him first and started to tame. I had 3 seconds to go and the hunter pulls him from me. I pull him back and try again. 5 seconds to go, the hunter then killed him! I got on my horde hunter and proceeded to chew him out for what he did. He claimed I pulled from him when I certainly did not. A friend on horde watched it all and she called him out for being a total #$%^&* and a liar.
For those on Moon Guard, beware of the horde hunter named Murhan! He's a griefer, tame stealer, and spirit beast killer! Also he's the worst liar!
(And if you see him, feel free to kill his tames too. See if he likes it. :) )
EDIT: Wow...he's got the gall to whisper me on all his alliance alts going. "It was my tame. Nothing to be mad about. We both killed him."
If you're reading this, there was no WE. There was me tagged him. Me attempting to tame him. You got mad that i had him first and pulled him from me, then proceeded to kill him and are now harassing me by whispering me on all the alts you have. There were two witnesses there that saw what happened and both called YOU out, not me, buddy.
Edit 2: My friend just had Arcturis stolen from her while she was taming by a fellow hunter named Illixiia in the guild <Abyss>.
For those on Moon Guard, beware of the alliance hunter named Illixiia! She's a griefer & tame stealer

Does anyone else find it highly annoying when other hunters swoop out of nowhere and call their own Arcturis, sending off all kinds of alarm bells, causing you to go into cardiac arrest for absolutely no reason! Granted I may be able to see the funny side if i hadn't spent 50 hours+ hunting for him:P

He spawned for me finally today after 60+ hours of farming for him. I was sitting fishing with a friend and my npcscan went nuts, he also had a macro that was spamming in party chat. the time was 10.13pm server time...Needless to say i am a very happy gal! Good Luck to those of you still farming him, don't get discouraged he WILL spawn eventually and is def worth the wait:P
A friend of mine was also looking for Arcturis, he was lucky enough to log on 8 hours after my tame and Arc was there, so confirmation Arc can indeed respawn within 8 hours!

Tamed 8:05am 10-28-10 Greymane
Took 76hrs to spawn which seems to confirm what a few others have said about this guy, can be a super long respawn.
Although to be fair I wasn't there the whole 76 hrs, other hunters looking for him at the same time were regular visitors to my little patch of grass and none of them found him in the meantime so I think the 76 hours is accurate.
Bring lots to read, or watch if you want this pet!
<edit>Maintenance seemed to make no difference on this guy also.

Finally got this beauty after about 4 days camping on and off :)
Another alli hunter was camping with me at various times of the day and when I logged on this morning told me that she saw a horde hunter tame him at around 7am. It's Saturday so I just parked my butt right at that spawn point and read my book, ate, cleaned etc. waiting for npcscan to go off. Finally got him at 11:20 pm. 16 hours after the last spawn. Same spawn point on the map.
My advice is be patient and use npcscan. Pick a day where you can just park there and sit for the whole day. I saw at least 7 other hunters wander by throughout the day, sit there for 15 minutes and get bored and leave. When he did finally spawn I was the only one there. So even if there's 3 other ppl if you have the patience to sit there long enough they might give up ;)

Reading trough the coments here, one can almost safely say that he will spawn quite often between 5 and 8 PM/AM. I've personaly seen him dead or tamed between 21.00 and 00.30.

Finally tamed Arcturis at 3:49 PM on Cho'gall server (Wednesday,Nov 3, 4:49 PM Eastern Time).
This is my forth and final Spirit beast that was the hardest to obtain due to the fact it only has one spawn point and the competition can be a pain.
I guess the next spirit beast to tame will be the in Cataclysm ( Ghost Crawler) Crab =P
Happy Hunting and Good Luck to all who still look for those awsome pets- Hunter Cyberbird.

He was my first Spirit Beast tamed. Had been in Grizzly Hills on and off for a week fishing for salmon and waiting for him to spawn. I came in from school and logged in and flew down to the stream to start fishing when I flew right over him. I dropped off my mount and went straight to taming him...no one but a shadow priest was around at the time. Elune server at 5:40pm.
Awesome pet with great abilities. Look forward to getting the other Spirit Beasts.

Between me and 2 other hunters I know we had the last entire 24 hours covered and this beast never spawned once, on
Elune realm (pve)
.
The least blizzard could do, since they're to lazy to add at least 2 more spawn points is to set Arcturis' timer to 8 hours or so.
Every time I've looked at the spot there's been 4-5 hunters around. At least with more spawn points we might have less vindictive Arcturis killing while someone is taming him.
At least on PvP realms make its a bit easier cuz ya just kill the hunter lol

Caught/Spawned at 7:50pm server time on Agamaggan - US (PvP server / Horde).
Camped him from for several hours before he finally spawned, killed around 100 alliance while there to keep the area clean, most of which were hunters coming to check the spawn. They can be quite the nuisance seeing as their camp is right there. A druid friend of mine and I sat on the hill. I put my AFK flag up and he stealthed behind me and just waited for the "free honour" attempts to come to us, was mildly entertaining and helped pass the time. Got in two massive battles with two different guilds throughout the day as they called for reinforcements. I recommend killing them or fishing or something to pass the time.

NPCscan or any other addons are your friend when you do stuff like camping. Here are some camping tips for this spirit beast:
Easiest spirit beast and rare spawn to camp in the game, since it only spawns in one place. I was playing with my iPhone on the couch when NPCscan went off. I have never jumpd of a couch so fast to check my laptop before.
The flip side is that ALOT of hunters know this, and it's out in the open, close to a FP. At one point i was camping next to three other hunters. If he did spawn I dont think it would have ended well.
Jealous hunters are around, but the worst thing you can do is kill a spirit beast while someone is trying to tame. If it was you, it would suck. ALOT. It just means more competition anyway. Camp when you are alone, usually when you are the first one there, people back off.
As long as you are at least level 74 and you have BM, it is a swift tame. NPCscan with a clear cache makes it alot more fun than just staring at the screen waiting for something to happen.
And finally, Arcturis is not part of any achievements. He is mainly there for BM hunters. So unless you really badly need a chest piece, leave this amazing animal to stroll around in peace for a new master.

I finally caught Arcturis!
He spawned today @ 11:10AM Server Time on Perenolde.
I've been camping his spawn point on and off for about a week and a half with another hunter. (We promised to send each other an in-game mail if either of us tamed or saw him spawn)
The other hunter tamed him @ 5:40PM Server Time on Tuesday of this week.
Now our server did have a rolling restart @ 5AM Server Time early this morning. Not sure if that might have made a difference on his spawn times.
Either way, I'm really happy. Now on to Gondria and I'll be 4/4 with Spirt Beast.
Good luck to those still hunting him!

I just tamed him last night at the spot in the map. I camped the spot starting at about 11am and was monitoring it the whole day while I was working. He finally spawned at 1:15 am. Although I did run a couple errands and got logged off once for about 15 minutes, I'm pretty sure he didn't spawn at all in between so it looks like the spawn time might be more that 12 hrs or random like someone mentioned earlier.
It was my first time using npcscan so I didn't know what to expect or if it would even work. I deleted my cache so there was no x next to his name in the settings, then waited. Hours went by and other hunters came and went but I outwaited all of them and the bear appeared! My plan was to lay down a trap and tame it but when the horns went of, I freaked out and couldn't find my trap (it was covered by the npcscan icon). After half a second of worrying about the trap, I just hit tame and let him beat on me. I'm level 80 so he didn't really do any damage.
Now I just need to come up with a suitable name! Good luck!

Can anyone advise if he can be used while in SV spec? I thought I read that somewhere, but haven't been able to confirm it.
Also I'm camping him right now on Aggramar...anyone know when he last spawned or have any advice for this server?

Just tamed this guy on Blackrock Friday, Nov 12, 2010 @ 8:05 am server. He spawned right where everyone said he would below amberpine village coordinates 31:55 next to a big tree with two small ones on either side (Half way down the hill).
Camped that spot for 38 hours (slept for 7 of those hours) and the NPCScan cache never showed him as dead or tamed. So here is new data on how long he might go without spawning.
I camped 38 hours + however long it was prior to me logging in and starting my camp for Arcturis. Since it had been 7 hours of sleep and three hours of doing chores since my last log into wow it could potentially be 48 hours between this particular spawn time. Looks alot longer than the measly 20 hours people posted prior.
Heads up that when I pressed the tame button nothing happened (maybe because he is a yelllow mob) until he hit my ice trap and that got his attention and I started tame. I almost have full wrathful so he didn't hurt much when the trap gave out. This server is very over populated so my whole strategy was to camp him in the wee hours of the night and morning and sleeping in the day. GL and tell your boss you have a wicked case of food poisening or something.
Update, another hunter that I know who was camping this just told me he got arcy 13 hours after me. So more data on spawn times.

In my humble opinion this is probably the most difficult Spirit Beast to try and tame.
Whereas the others have multiple spawn points Arcturis has just the one and it's terribly close to both an Alliance and Horde flightpath.

Just tamed him on Deathwing (US) at exactly 5:00pm server time. Server maintenance was today that brought in 4.0.3, if that makes any difference. Funny thing is, I was camping his spot all day long since the servers came back up with no luck, and after 7 hours of this I decided to leave and see if Skoll or Gondria were there, and when I came back - there was Arcturis! Had I been even SLIGHTLY more unlucky I could have had that bear taken from under me in the 5 minutes I decided to go somewhere else. So - lesson to all - JUST STAY THERE!

while knowing the servers where going to restart at 5am (pst), and he didn't spawn upon servers being back online after maintance at around 10:30am (pst) I decided to camp the spawn point from 2am (pst) until the servers did the rolling restart when at 3:20am (pst) he finially spawned and was tamed by me on US- Gilneas which is an east coast based server. I can also confirm that he has a an average spawn time between 13-16 hours. In the post by kygor i had seen Arcturis at 2:45am (pst) or 5:45am server time the same day he got his tamed
Good Luck to all those still trying to get him

I saw him tamed yesterday at 3:35 PM server time on US Hellscream and with all the reports of a 12-24 hour spawn timer, 21 being the magic number I am still camping him right now and it's 11:15AM Server. So I'm hoping he pops by 3:35PM server time again or this whole spawn timer is a bunch of crapola.
I'm standing on the bush area, which is where everyone says he spawns.
UPDATE: It's 21 hours on the money...my other hunter buddy who had him was helping me when I passed out at my computer, I got a phone call saying "GET UP HE'S RIGHT THERE" and bam, tame..mine. Now I have the three spirit beasties I want. Screw Loque.

Sat by the 3-tree point for 17 consecutive hours yesterday, got 6 hours of sleep, and then started camping again today. 8 hours in, it spawned.
Bad news is, the other hunter in the area tagged and started training it first... Good news is, I broke its training and got the bear looking at me.
....up until my own guildie decided to attack it and kill it off. -_-
Spawn time was approximately 9:32 PM Eastern time on Lothar.
edit:
Luckily, fate was in favor of the other hunter. Congrats Doraa for taming Arcturis at roughly 11:20 AM on Lothar... and so far, 15 hours later, there's still no sign of him respawning.
...maybe if I stand here long enough, he'll show up... and hopefully the rolling restart doesn't completely bone me.
At least I have some good books! Already started and finished one while waiting... 17+ hours each day of just camping...
:EDIT:edit:
Arcturis tamed by the 3 trees at 2:47 AM Server. After wondering between Urlacher and Hyperion for names, I decided to ask some guildies... who suggested FuzzyWuzzy, Pookie, Gummibear, and Angel... so I went with Hyperion, after Arcturis Mengsk's Battleship.
...apparently someone tamed Loque'nahak a short while ago, and someone got Gondria yesterday... not sure which to aim for next...

And this is why any time I tried taming a rare, just to be safe I dropped a freezing trap to encase me and the beast in ice while I tamed it.

Wow. I think I just may be the luckiest hunter to play WoW ever. I have just managed to capture Gondria AND Arcturis within 9 minutes of each other!
Gondria spawned at 7:50am EU time at (62,43) to the left of the stairs.
Arcturis spawned at 7:59am EU time at his local spot in Grizzly hills!
IDK how i pulled this off.. I spent 6 hours fishing waiting for Arcturis but I made a trip to Dalaran for more bright bubbles and made a pass to see if Gondria was there and he sure was! Then I went back to Arcturis and started fishing again and 2 mins later he was there :D
Hope this helps you guys. I hear that these rares spawn at the top of the hour (x:50 - x+1:10) x being the time..
cheers
(i have updated screen shots of both and you can see by the server time and dungeon lock time that I was not kidding)

Got him! Been searching for five days straight, had some help here and there from guildies, but none of the times I got from anyone actually worked. However when I went onto the LJ community wow_ladies, a blood elf hunter offered to help watch with me since she had nothing to do. She gave me a time for when Arcturis spawned the day before for a friend of hers, 6:00 pm server Malfurion. I assumed the 21-hour spawn was going to work, so I logged in at the spawn point about 3:00 pm server. No bear.
However when camping started to get boring, I dozed off for a few minutes. 15 minutes later when I woke up, had two e-mail notifications on LJ from the blood elf saying THE BEAR IS HERE COME BAAACK. Somehow she'd kept it in Freezing Trap and aggroed on her and no other hunters showed up during that time. Logged back in as fast as I could, and bam. Very first spirit beast. Thank you so so so much to Jagwyr and her tauren druid guildie (whose name escapes me I'm so sorry ><) for all of your help and dedication to camping with me.
Overall camping protip: DON'T FALL ASLEEP. He'll show up then!
Spawn time: 4:15 PM Malfurion server

After spending 28 hours camping this spot over a period of 3 days I was about to give up on this beautiful beast I decided I was going to check for Gondria and Loque'nahak before I go back to G.H and log out. No luck with them so I flew back to Arcturis' spawn point and Npcscan goes nuts my heart started pounding out of my chest, I quickly dismount, lay my trap down, pull him and tamed my new pet @ 2:32 am on Smolderthorn.
Happy Hunting fellow hunters :)

Just tamed him on Dragonblight US at 4:10pm server. I never had an interest in the spirit beasts before due to competition and lack of stable slots. But, now that we have 25, I figured I'd try.
It only took me 45 minutes of waiting. NOTE: Don't be silly and wait down at the river. He spawns a little inland, and I would have missed him had I not moved backwards.

No idea when he spawned but I tamed him at 2:35 am today, on Elune realm (US).
I'd actually given up camping 30-40 minutes before that.
I was flying downriver below Amberpine on the way to Venture Bay pvp grounds, when NPC scan went off! I darned near fell off my chair it startled me so badly lol.
I've been trying to catch this guy for 2 months LOL. A total of over 480 hours camping that spot with not a single sighting of anything but other hunters, skunks and deer. :P
Thank the Lord its over!
Note to Blizzard:
Dear Sirs;
Since you've just opened the floodgates of hunterdom, by making it possible for several more races to become hunters, do you think you could finally add 3-4 more spawn spots for Arcturis, which would make it equal to the number all the OTHER spirit beasts have.
Why y'all only gave this one a single spawn point is beyond me. =/

Tamed on Argent Dawn US at approx 7:51am server time, after intermittantly camping since approx midnight.
Funny thing too...I'd decided tonight to start looking for the spirit beasts since we hunters have received all these nice shiny new stable slots. I have a thing about bears, so I went for this guy first. There was an orc hunter (my hunter is a draenei) there all night, every time I showed up. Well, finally, I decided I was going to camp the spot and take a snooze, and hoped the NPCscan would be loud enough to wake me up, or at the very least, I was happy another hunter would get the bear. Well, just as I was straightening out my blankets, the alarm went off, and I clicked on the target button and started taming. I don't know what happened with the poor orc hunter, but midway through my taming, I see that he waved to me. I bowed and wished him good luck, and flew away happy, but also feeling a little bit guilty about the other hunter.
My boyfriend, however, said not to feel guilty. His exact words were: "all's fair in love and warcraft".

I just tamed Arcturis on
Draka
@ 7:18 am server or 5:18 am Pacific coast time.
=D
Started non-stop camping @ 5: 28 pm server.
Fought lvl 80's (Ally) and died 1 time because I got DC'd during a fight w/ a deer. -.-
A HUGE thank you to the nice Horde hunters who left me to camp him because I was there 1st =).
Worst part of the entire 11-12 hour wait was the ungodly number of DC's 30+ in 20 min.
A suggestion to other hunters camping him, run the stop-watch feature so you have an
accurate
time of how long you've been camping. I forgot to do this myself XD.
Also I tamed him @ level 75 and no trap was needed, I just shot him 1 time to tap him. (Sorry Arcturis.)
Note:this was wearing epic level 70 raid gear with stamina enchants.
I'm gonna go pass out now...Good luck taming him. =)

As this site was down for quite a while this info is a little out of date, but hopefully still usefull to people.
Arcturis seen / tamed on Azuremyst Server Thu 24th Nov at 14.26 realm time.
Again (helping fellow guildie to get him) on Fri 25th Nov at 14.29 realm.
I used the old /tar Arcturis method to get him. then simply tame beast.
Friend uses NPCscan although we were ther waiting anyway.
Hope this helps :)

Tamed him at 705a server time today. I literally had just logged on and he was sitting there close to the waterfall. Almost killed me because I messed up my ice trap, but I lasted long enough. He is the coolest pet in the world.
Anyone that kills him should be banned for life.

I was by the trees had spent about 2 hours camping him prior around 11pm-1am est with no luck and a ton of hunters to fend off lol, went to bed and set my alarm for 4am cause I read somewhere some one was successful at 4.20am est a week ago so I gave it a shot and just as I was about to go to bed my _npcscan addon went off like a bulb! Fyi, my hunter is lvl 74 and it was a super easy tame.

Found and tamed her at exactly where she is told to be, just wandering down the small ravine where the Amberpine Lodge is settled, at "6:51" pm server time.
I wrote down a double-clickable primitive macro, in case you need to be swift to pick her up. Here's the "ingenius" macro text;
/target Arcturis
/cast Tame Beast
remember to make sure you have switched to the BM spec, and you have dismissed your current pet, if you are camping her mounted.
Same macro helped me grab the new Ashtail-rare fox which is also heavily camped due to being so cute and "new".
Here are

FYI - Arcturis tamed today (Dec. 6, 2010) on Kul Tiras at 10:30am PST. Exactly the same place everyone else finds him...right below the Amberpine flypoint, half way to the waterfall. (Plenty of other posts about coordinates.)
Happy to have met my goal of obtaining all four Spirit Beasts before Cataclysm. Freakin' miracle.

I want this bear as a pet. I camped nonstop yesterday, starting at 8:15, on Terokkar server, 8:15 a.m. My level 80 hunter, then with NPCscan, it picked him up right at 7:00 p.m. I turned to freeze trap him, and my internet went down. (Thanks Comcast). I was able to log back on at 3:00 a.m, and through tiny sleeps, (15-20 minutes each), I was able to literally camp at 31.55. It is now 3:15 p.m., next day, and I am still camped, logged on, and I'm telling everyone who goes there that I've been there since 3 a.m. I suspect him to spawn between now and 7:00. To say the least, I'm very tired. I work from home, so it was no big deal to camp him all day. Others have said he spawns at 4:45 a.m, but not this time.
I might have a couple of people watching me to see if I log, but I'm not logging. I do have an issue of the expansion pack coming out tomorrow, and I'm beginning to wonder if he will spawn at all tonight. I'll wait and see, and report back. Had Comcast not dropped the internet at the wrong time, I'd be saying I got him.
One thing though, the musical score is genius for this zone.
Friday: about 4 days later....camping alot, but I also worked on my Pally in the new zone. I saw him the night after this, NPCScan went off, while giving my dog her pill. I wasn't fast enough. So I'm kind of irritated .I thought he was on a 22 hour clock, he's not. I've not seen him since Cataclysm started. Irritated, wanting to work my hunter in the new zone. Camping and camping and camping.
So tonight, at exactly 7:35 p.m. central, on Terokkar Server, (after the server resets this morning) NPCscan went off, and I started to attack ,but realized I can't attack, and I hit freeze trap, and he broke it, then I hit tame, freeze trap, and he was mine. I should name him SirSmirnoff, but I think a great name would be SirXcedrin, cause camping for his regalness gave me a hedache.

I was reading thru Petopia's pets as this is my first lvl 70+ Hunter and saw Arcturis and thought i must have him ;)
I strolled up to the spawn point by the river/water fall grizzly bear's @ 7:30pm (GMT) on the EU server Stormrage.. Arcturis wasnt there (using NPCScan) so decided to eat a salmon steak or two and made quite good friends with Mr Skunk who roam's thru Arcturis's spawn point... then at 9:52pm (GMT) he spawned !
I dropped my trap and went to target him by which time an Alliance dropped out the sky and attacked him just as i was about to :( i was so mifted..... he even had the cheek to wave to me once he had killed Arcturis and flew off... i was seething mad... i waiited till 11:20pm (GMT) and logged out as no show..
Today has been a bit of a 'wanting to get on the pc and play wow... but had my final Amateur Radio licence lesson before my test on 20th Dec 2010 *crosses fingers*..i logged in after eating my Chicken Delight fillet burger meal and at 5:20pm (GMT) he popped...trapo thrown down and attacked to hold his attention.... and BINGO! im know the proud keeper of Arcturis

I sat at the preferred location for about 3 to 4 hours (which is a short time for most players hunting this bear) with nothing and no-one around. Suddenly he spawned and I hit tame beast when a slightly lower level space-goat hunter turned up and started the /cry emote.
I already tamed Skoll so I FD'd and dropped threat then /pointed at him and applauded the draeni (I'm horde.. and it's very difficult to get your point across sometimes) he started tame and was taking a beating but I didn't want to do anything to break his tame but he succeeded and all manner of thank you and cheer emotes were heading my way.
next day I open my mail box and there was a mail from (i guess) his Horde alt thanking me for my kindness and would the attached help towards my waiting.. a VERY HEALTHY 500g :) I was stunned.. and wrote back saying so but he said that kindness in game is a rare thing, in particular between factions and he didn't need the G and was happy to share.
I still don't have the bear.. but I don't care. it's a Karma thing now. If he's there when I fly past then I'll attempt a tame .. I already have that rarest of creatures in WoW.. the "Warm Fuzzy Feeling" ;)

Found him at 1:56 pm Hyjal server time. I already had him tamed but i went to the who list and saw a few lowbie hunters and asked if they were BM. Only one replied yes so i invited him and told him to come to me and quickly because Arcturis was up. He was at Conquest Hold so he wasnt far. He was there and he dismissed his pet but it took him a few minutes(dont know why). He was to slow and when he successfully dismissed pet an alliance nelf hunter showed up and stared at him for like 30 seconds and so did the one i was in group with. I was thinking wtf are you guys doing? Someone tame him already(if it was me he would've already been my pet). But slow as they both were the nelf got to him faster. I even told the one i was in group with to tame and not stare at it but i guess he was mezmarized by it. A good rule to go by: Tame first Adore after the tame

I just tamed him at 6:39 PM Server on Doomhammer. I have a night elf, so I stayed in shadowmeld as to not cause competition or attention. I didn't kill any stags (didn't want skinners around), and I didn't mine any nodes. I sat at 30, 55 and ran npcscan with the volume full blast on my PC speakers and just listened and check in to avoid AFK. Luckily I was there when he popped, because a troll hunter and an ally hunter both appeared as I just tamed.

Parked my hunter on the spawn, logged in at 18:05 server time to find his corpse right below me. Rather than log out and wait 6 hours, I just afk'ed, checking every 5 minutes or so while alt-tabbed. He spawned again less than 2 hours later at 20:00 server time, unfortunately on this occasion, I missed him while afk. Next night, logged in at 18:00, afk'ed, and he finally spawned at 00:50 server time, when I finally tamed him. Very much worth the effort.

Was doing my usual Loque laps and took a trip out to GH cause I was bored and bam ! there he was. Up high on the hill (at the known spawn). Tamed and named. I have camped him in the past, and his timer is very inconsistent, I think that's to offset only having one spot. Good luck to all !

Finally tamed him at around 12:35ish server time on Dragonblight. looked for him a lot last night and nothing then today boom there he is! my heart skipped a beat when the NPCscan made its noise to let me know he spawned. He is soo cool hope all you hunters can get one too that want one :) and i hope this info helps. a lot of people report the sightings with a time ending in 5, so i am guessing he spawns at :05,:15,:25,:35,:45,and:55, that is just my theory going off of the times of sightings from other people and mine. Of course since i am sure just like other people have said it's sure to be a random time but it is quite possible it is a random time ending in 5. at least for Arcturis.

Tamed at ~7:30am today on Area 52 US. I had been leisurely camping there for 4 weeks or so. I went off to do some quests for a change, and came across another rare, Syrien the Bonecarver. I thought I'd go back and check and he was there! It really looks like the rares in a zone are linked somehow from this experience.

Tamed him around 5:30 CT on Shandris server. Between 5-7 a.m. seems like a key time to me to find rares. I have found Humar, Uhk'loc, Grubthor & Gondria (though I was too low level for him) at this time, without having to camp the site, I've just logged in at that time and they're there. Probably just time when fewest people logged on. Good luck, he's a really neat looking beast.

I tamed Arcturis at 6:05 pm server time (Agrammar) on 1/1/11. I had waited almost exactly 22 hours, and he spawned at the top of the hour as everyone suspects, and right in between the three trees on the riverside path (coord: 31,55). It was exactly the circumstances that everyone discusses here. I followed the methods suggested and got him, using NPCScan and Silverdragon.
Oh, and fooey on the Orc hunter who tried to do anything and everything to keep me from taming him.
Also interesting to note: He spawned at the exact same time as Grocklar, who was right near Arcturis in Grizzly Hills, but he's NOT supposed to be there. He is supposed to be in Dragonblight. I tamed Arcturis and then walked over and bopped Grocklar on the head. Very weird.

Yesterday after catching ahold of Skoll i decided id go after this lovely bear. i sat there from around 2am realm time till 6am realm time when i decided to go to sleep. today i woke up and did my heroic on my main then went to make some food as i sat to eat i decided hey ill log on my hunter and check around. as i logged on i was greated by the npc scaner going off. i tossed my bowl of kraft dinner aside and turned my toon around spotting him walking up the hill (next to amberpine lodge) i dove for the tame button, he quickly jumped over me and the tame stopped for a split second i thought crap ok start again. when i realized Loque my first spirit beast was attacking him being lv 84 herself she quickly brought him to nearly no health. i spammed her passive button and then dismissed him Arturis at 100 health continued attacking me and then i continued my tame. luckily my Loque didnt kill him and i am now the proud owner of three spirit beast's and kraft dinner all over the place. im thinking karoma is next :D
people are right to say dont kill yourself, checking now and then works iv got Loque skoll and him just by doing this oh and btw the time was 5:46pm realm time

Just tamed at approximately 11:35 server time, Azgalor. No NPC scan, just waiting for an hour, logging off, waiting for another hour. I must say I got pretty lucky - I was killing the Tallhorn Stags around him with traps and I accidentally left two traps up. Suddenly, Arcturis spawned, was effected by the traps and pounced me. I feigned death, got back up, and ran away because the traps were still on him. Thinking quickly, I set down a Freezing Trap, Concussive Shot Arcturis and tamed. He pounced and managed to deal some damage, but he froze and I successfully tamed my first spirit beast.
Amazing looks. Amazing abilities. AWESOME pet.

I saw an orc tame him at about 12:30 am est
I was saddened but realized at least I had a time base. Someone said its on the hour, if so then I guess I got there way late.
However, the best bet is to find out when he last spawned. If it is a 12 hour ill know soon because its almost been. However I think it may be less, but we will see. None of this info helped me much really.

I need help guys. Was starting to camp his spawn point from 00.00 to 03.00 when they closed all server for the new patch. At 10.44 Shattered Hand was up again and was trying to logg in at 10.41 so maye i missed 2 min.
Have been at his spawn point since then in 10 h and 20 min now... nothing.... nothing at all. I left 2 times to see if cat spirit beast was up but had all the time "Who" up and "grizzly hills" to see if any other hunter entred the area, was non there when I was away.
Any one can help me with some more info

Was camping all day today waiting for this guy to show up. Finally I look down, and there he is... I freaked out. As I was going to tame him, a level 76 Night Elf Hunter came by and killed him before I could finish taming. I mean really? It should be code of hunter to NOT do something like this. I am horde by the way.
This was on Azjol Nerub, and I cannot believe another hunter would do this to a fellow, regardless of who got the pet.

You cant get luckier then me.
Yesterday, I was reading the comments and switching back and forth while traveling there.
When i got there i flew around the zone to no sucess for around 5 mins so i stayed flying stational.
I checked back the comments here for around 5 mins.
I tab back into the game and check my map and i see another yellow dot, i look around and hes right under me.
I started the taming and frosted him, didnt even touch me once.

Tamed at 5:24 pm EST 1/16/11 on Ravencrest Server with my Draenei. Had been watching the spawn point from yesterday around 5 pm to 5 am. Again today from 2:45 pm until I tamed him. Showed up right where he was supposed to. My boyfriend used his Horde Shammy to hex Arcturis into a frog, and then I tamed him. Easy Peasy!

I just recently leveled a hunter to 80 on Emerald Dream US, hoping to collect all of the rare Northrend spirit beasts before I moved on to Cata zones.
I spent two days solid looking for Loque'Nahak - posting a detailed description of spawn points and the times there, but I eventually got him at around 4:55pm ST.
A few hours later I came back to Northrend, went to Storm Peaks on a whim to check on Skoll, and sure enough he was there as well, so I tamed him and flew off, extremely happy with my catches for the day.
Then, another hour or so later, some guildies and I were doing some Cata dungeons, I sitting in Grizzly Hills where Arcturis is said to spawn. I knew I'd probably never see him there, as he is on a twelve-twenty four hour spawn timer and I didn't know when the last kill/tame happened. I and the tank decided to take a break from dungeons for about ten minutes. I went to grab food, and on my way back to my computer I thought "You know, wouldn't it be funny if he spawned right when I got back to my computer?" I sat down, pulled my laptop over to me, and then my two rare tracking addons, SilverDragon and NPCscan lit up my screen like the fourth of July - and there he was, in all his glory; Arcturis. I quickly landed, dismissed my Spirit Worg recently named Amaroq, and tamed him without a hitch. He's gorgeous :)
To everyone who is camping him - I wish you the best of luck on your endeavor! It can be five minutes, or five hours, or five days before you get him, but once you do it's all worth it, he's a gorgeous pet.

Ok hope this helps some folks. I'm on the US Garona server. I camped for him for 5 days. For the last three days I camped him from about 9AM Server til 10AM and never saw him. But I did meet some other hunters who were also looking for him and I asked them as I was going to sleep if they would in game mail me the times that they saw him, and they did. So here is what I got.
Saturday night the first hunter finds him at 2:05AM Server time.
Sunday night the second hunter finds him at 12:42AM Server time.
Monday I find him and tamed him at 10:58PM Server time.
Note that I was online Monday from 9AM -> 10:58PM server time until he appeared again.
It doesn't look like he's on a true 24 hour timer but it seems he his popping at night for now (or at least till after the server restarts). Anyway just wanted to share this data in case it helps anyone. Good Luck!

Been trying to get this awesome pet for 5 hours on Frostmane EU.
Worst part is the damn immature hunters flying there with their own pets making my NPCscan go off for nothing.
People like that just make me wonder how degraded do you have to be to do something like that.
EDIT:
Second day of camping, the same idiotic hunter appeared with her own Arcturis and called other rare pets.
/sigh
Now she/he brought a warlock friend, both obviously being bent on killing the rare beast.
Tempted on naming and shaming these dense and immature players.
EDIT 2:
Tamed on thrid day of caming, around 24 hours invested total, 06:45 GMT +1.
Took long enough ... Met another hunter who came at the spot 1 minute too late and said he tamed King Krush that day while mentioning the name of the same hunter that tried harassing me while I was on the lookout for Arcturis.
Obviously that wonderful person is attempting to kill off all rare pets in Northrend so other hunters can not get them.
EDIT 3:
Not sure if naming and shaming is allowed, but if any Frostmane EU Hunter is trying to get this elusive pet the name of the hunter that tries killing off these epic pets is Amywinehouse, a level 85 Night Elf. She/he might be near the spawn point(s) of the rare(s) on another character, a Druid called Drubarrymore.
Just want to warn others, it has been a great displeasure to witness such a person trying to obstruct others.

I thought i would drop in and share my weird Arcturis experience.
Two days ago I started thinking about finding me a spirit beast. I made some research about Arcturis approximate spawn location and went there. With npc-scan installed I hovered the spawn location while watching tv. Suddenly the alarm goes off at 7,30 pm and I rush to the computer, desperately starting to look for him but without finding Arcturis anywhere. Above me I see 3 other players leaving Amberpine lodge with gryphons in the direction of Dalaran, one of them a hunter. I started checking for a more exact spawn description and found it. I now understand why I couldn’t see Arcturis because I was facing away from him at start and while looking for him I slowly circled away from the spawn point. The hunter that I saw flying away from there must have did his research way better than I did. Anyway, I fly over his spawn location a couple of times with my npc-scan reset without picking him up so I realize I missed the opportunity and curse myself for not putting enough effort into it and I started to understand how difficult it will be to compete with others to get Arcturis tamed
Now to the weird noobish part. This hunter is one of my alts and I haven’t much experience with him. 2 hours after my “almost” Arcturis encounter I decide to fly over Zul’Drak to see what Gondria’s different spawn locations looks like. No Gondria to be found anywhere as expected I’m thinking “well that’s it for today, better luck next time”. I’m turning to fly back to Amberpine to rest at the Inn and when I’m almost there the alarm goes off again, now at 9,35pm. Npc-scan is showing the picture of Arcturis and I’m thinking, how is this even possible when only approximately 2 hours gone since his last spawn . I head straight to the spawn point and sure, there he is. I drop the trap and hit the tame button without anything happening. I suddenly realize that I don’t have high enough level to tame Arcturis with me being at the end of lvl 73 and Arcturis being lvl 74. I once more curse my lack of research and lack of hunter knowledge. With 125k experience to go I rush out on a killingspree mixing in every archeology digsite around in a vain attempt to reach lvl 74 as soon as possible. I quickly realize that this is taking too long but I figured I might as well continue to get to lvl 74 so I’ll be ready for next spawn. After I hit lvl 74 I flew back to Amberpine and to my big surprise Arcturis was still walking the slopes below. I once more drop the trap, backs off to far while shaking and pressing the tame button. Arcturis roars and leaps elegantly over my trap and almost kills me before I manage to get him tamed. With only just above 300 hp still left I’m standing there humbled to the fact that I despite my total lack of skill and knowledge got him tamed this easily.
How this was even possible with the spawn rate being as it is with Arcturis I have no clue but I’m just happy .
Best of luck to you all with finding and taming him.
*edit After reading TonyTheTigers post above i now understand that the first NPCscan alarm was due to it registering an already tamed Arcturis.

Managed to tame this guy on Lightbringer EU, 25.01.11, approx 7.35pm. I am trying to get all the rare pets at the moment, so I logged in at 7.00am yesterday morning, and as my fiancé had the day off work, I left WoW signed in at his spawn point so that he could be tamed if he did appear. I got home at about 7pm and so far nothing had happened. I hearthed back to SW to pick up some gear, and decided to go back there til about 8pm as we had a raid. I was in the kitchen when I heard NPC scan going off and rushed in to find he had spawned right on top of me! I quickly hit tame and took hardly any damage at all, easy tame. Typical though to wait there all day only for him to spawn once I got home! I decided to call him patience :)

Caught mine at 11:30pm server time on Blackhand server. Kind of funny story here, was getting a ton of lag that night and was just about to call it a night when I flew over Arcturis' spawn point and saw him walking around with not a single hunter in sight. I dismounted, took about half my health in fall damage and got him tamed. I was actually surprised when I found out he is a DPS pet instead of a tank pet.

Had been camped out there since ~2:30 am the day before, although _NPCScan didn't have Arcturis added in the search list until later that day, so timing might be a little flawed.

I have been camping on and off for the past few days. Only running to TB for dailies and then back again. I missed him at 7:15pm two days ago while doing dailies. An Alli hunter nabbed him. I logged onto my Alli auction guy and asked the hunter for the right time that he was tamed.
No joy last night.
This morning no work due to the miserable winter weather. I logged on at 11:15 am and he was just sitting there waiting for me. No one was around, I just hit tame and let him hit me until he was tamed.
This was on the Vek 'nilash server.
Subtract an hour for the server time.

I found Arcturis at 9:40 this morning. I spent all last night and this morning trying to find any of the spirit beasts. Last night I saw no sign of him around 10 and there were a bunch of hunters in the area also looking. After spending some time in Zul'Drak looking for Gondria this morning, I decided to give Arcturis one last go before I logged off. At around 8:30, he wasn't there so I didn't think I would have any chance of finding him an hour later. However, as soon as I hearthed to Amberpine he was right there down the hill next to the river and a little yellow dot appeared on my mini map. So if you're getting discouraged like I was, just keep at it and you'll find it eventually. If I can find him, you can too! It's definitely best to search in the morning when there aren't so many hunters on also trying to find him. Best of luck to everyone!

OKAY. So here's for all of you who DON'T KNOW!
1. The bear is no way in hell on a 21 hour spawn.
2. The bear is no way in hell on a 12 hour spawn.
3. He doesn't SHARE any time of SPAWN time with any other RARES.
I've been here with my husband with _NPCScan for 48 hours straight.
This is Area 52 by the way.

Just tamed Arcturis around the 31-55 area about 8:15 server time. I had been looking for about a day, my npcscan "DID NOT" go off. I checked and he wasn't cached and the alarm had already went off on another rare earlier so it was working. I was flying to the flight point above his spawning point, decided to check before I left the area and there he was, thought it was somebody killing the stags but was Arcturis, after I tamed I had to double check I really had him before I told my guild mates. Good luck to everyone who looks for him...
I've heard and read of hunters killing rares so others cannot tame them. I say forget whoever found it first and be happy that someone has a kool new pet even if its the opposing faction. We all know how hard it can be to find a rare once, and to have it killed before you can tame is frustrating and to have it done by another hunter would make a preacher swear.
So at least when it comes to pets there should be a Hunters Code of Honor whether same side or not. I myself have and will continue to aid hunters no matter side, for 1 karma is real and can be a pain 2 its just the kool thing to do....

Just tamed this beast just a few hours ago.
1st time i was in mid tame merely a split second of him being mine, (me being level 76 had been camping there for 6 hours) an alliance level 85 hunter swooped in, killed me, tamed the beast and flew off ................. gutted.
2nd time there was nobody around and he was mine.
1st spawn for me at 2:47pm gmt on Shattered Hand EU in the usual spawn place.
I had read somewhere that he had an 8 - 12 hour spawn timer, so i took this advice and camped 8 hours later.
2nd spawn for me at 1:47am gmt on Shattered Hand EU.
I made sure my Cache folder was clear to make sure npcscan went off, and without fail it found Arcturis.

Tamed at 9.30 pm server time (PST) on Spirestone. I camped him for 3 days on and off, then tonight left WoW running and went for dinner. Came back to be on the login screen and on logging in NPCScan had seen him, so he spawned when I was offline in the last 2-4 hours. Asked in general chat and no one had seen/killed/tamed him, so decided to stay there, thinking it would be on a 12 or 24 hour timer, but it wasn't - and that's why I'm making this post, he appeared 30 mins later!
TLDR: Arcturis seems to respawn after an hour-3 hrs if no one kills/tames him.

Got him 1:15am servertime on Skywall US. Started camping after I ding'd 74. 2 weeks of on and off flybys and casual camping, no more then an hour or so of parking my hunter over the zone. Thought I'd check before turning in for the evening, then NPC scan almost gave me a heart-attack, with the blaring horns and drums.
Dropped down, freeze-trap, tame - all mine.

Finally tamed him after 11 hours of camping today 8:23 pm server time on Cenarion Circle. Wanted to try and get more information about his spawn timer so i decided to sit there as long as it takes.
I missed the tame yesterday and waited 13 hours before i went to sleep for 9 hours, which means 21 hours went by since his last spawn and tame. But it turns out he spawned and was tamed again while i was sleeping.
Iv heard some people on my server have gotten him roughly 8 hours after his last spawn so i can say 8-21hours could be his timer but thats a rough guess, hope this helps.

In my opinion, the way you're going to camp him depends on the population of your server, i'm on a low-population server so there aren't many people camping him which then doesn't force you to stay up late and all day (as opposed to a high-population server).
All you have to do is, like me, put your hearthstone at Conquest hold (for Horde, i suppose Amberpine is the alliance equivalent) and just simply check out on him when you have some free time.

Spotted everyone's favorite bear on my druid of all things...
Today, Friday February 18th @ 3:29 pm server time on DRAKA.
My hunter friend tamed him @ 3:55 pm server time.
I already have this awesome guy, so I posted in trade and general chat. There were few replies, a bunch of non-hunters after the loot. -.-
But then my guild member & Level 74 hunter friend logged in and we were able to get the bear for him.
I cast Heals over Time Spells before he tamed, this works nicely and DOES NOT interfere with the tame.
I hope this is useful information, Good luck to everyone. =)

{Lightning's Blade}
at exactly
6:05am
server time after farming his spawn point non-stop since noon the previous day.. (Had no idea when he was last killed prior.) Turned out to be a long rough haul..
-Spotted at least 15+ different hunters stopping by and some staying awhile, some saying that if it appeared they were entitled to it... none of them had my endurance in the long run. Killed 2 different hunter's and a druid that tried to gank me along the way. Fun fun.. :P
-Wanted to add that while reading a prior post I noticed somebody said the rares spawn 5mins before the top of the hour or 5mins after the top of the hour. Kinda odd, but that sucker spawned at exactly 6:05am for me. So somebody may be onto something. May not have to waste as much time as I did, just a guess.
-Named em SouLReaveR, thought it fit for a badazz pet.
-All comes down to endurance. Happy Hunting!

As above, though an hour later. Durotan-US, 7:05am on the dot. I waited ~19 hours for him, so it's looking like up to a ~24 hour or so respawn with the server reboot on Tuesday.

JUST tamed on Gilneas @ 22:43 on Feb. 24, 2011 at the same coordinates he's been at, right there by Amberpine Lodge. Didn't have to fight anyone for him, though there
was
an inattentive troll hunter up on the rocky ledge by the Amberpine Lodge FP that didn't even move when the bear spawned. He may or may not have been AFK. But I do know that he lost that bear in less than 30 seconds--I was done and up at the Argent Tournament before he probably even knew what had happened. And now the poor guy has to wait another day because I can't send him a message giving him a reference time!
So, word to the wise, don't ever sit up on the hill by the spawn point. You'll miss your chance. It's just a really bad place to be, especially since Arcturis is neutral.
The hunter who was camping him last night and successfully tamed him kindly sent me a note once it was completed ('cause I had asked before I left him to it), and said that he tamed Arc in the same place at 23:02 on Feb. 23, 2011 (also Gilneas). He also mentioned that his wife had tamed Arc in the same place on Feb. 22, 2011 @ 23:08, but sadly forgot to mention on which realm. I'll update once I find out.
So it looks like the bear has about a 23-24 hour respawn. Maybe. We all know respawns are random, but maybe this will give you Gilneans out there a reference point for our server. I'm just glad I showed up an hour earlier than I had planned!
Also, he is an extremely pretty bear. ^_^

Wow this bear does take forever. I camped him till 3am yesterday and nothing. I thought the npcscan was broke. Signed on today and nothing so I did some fly overs looking for some other rares and immediately found seething hate so I knew it was working. Did some quests in the area checking back after everyone and sure enough at 11:30 on the Darrowmare server there he was! Level 74 with good gear and still had 45% health after taming! Good luck!

I started farming this pet at 3:00 pm went to bed at midnight. Started sitting at the spot again at about 8 am the bear appeared exactly at 8:30am. While taming it an 85 1 shotted it :(. Started looking for it again at 8:00 pm hoping it was on a 12 hour timer it appeared again at 9:53 pm and I got it tamed that time around an 85 showed up just after I tamed it. I am on a US server alliance Vek'nilash. Good Luck everyone

Got him yesterday night. Awesome Bear.
Well worth the hassle I went through for him, seeing him when I first arrived in grizzly as a 72 hunter was annoying, seeing a DK kill him was even more annoying (I ofcourse proceeded to annhialate the DK) but I persisted, and he's definitley worth it.
Named him
Elmensis

Good luck to anyone out there who is after him, his spawn is right outside Amberpine Lodge on the hill going down to the river, so alot of players will see him..but don't give up.
Now, back to hunting Loque...

This is about timing:
First time i saw him was 20 min past 9 in the evening. Second time was around 15-20 min past 3 in the afternoon this Can mean that the 5 min rule doesnt work, or hé did spawn according to the 5 min rule nyt wasnt killer or tamed by other players.. Either way i Got him the second time.. Happy hunting to you All.. Edit: tame him when you are questing in the area much easier to stop by now and Then to check.. Np to dó it in lvl74..

Tonight was my lucky night. I tamed Gondria about 2 weeks ago and have been going back to locate the Time-Lost Proto Drake. On my way, I decided to check for Arcturis and sure enough, my NPC Scan went off as soon as I hit his spawn location (approx 9pm EST on Suramar). Just seconds after I finished taming him another hunter showed up and dropped a few f-bombs. So I headed back on my way and while searching the Time-Lost Proto Drake's northwest flight path, my NPC Scan went off again! This time it was Skoll! Two spirit beasts tamed in less than 10 minutes. Talk about lucky. It took me 4 or 5 days to get Gondria.

Finally got him on Arthas just now, been checking on him off and on for a few days. I'm surprised he is ferocity, most of the bears are tenacity and I really like the spirit mend talent. Good hunting to all the others still trying to get him, it is well worth it.

Just flew to Grizzly Hills on my 85 hunter to camp this guy. He spawned (3:48 pm CST) right as I got to his spawn site.
He seemed to be walking back and forth within about a 40 yard radius.
He was very easy to spot on my flying mount not using an NPC scanning addon.
Good luck everyone and happy hunting!

FOUND HIM!
Have had the owner of my guild (also a hunter) telling me for a week or so to get this guy as he makes a perfect pvp tank pet. We went to the spot, he showed me exactly where this wonderful bear dropped and told me a time to come back to it.
Today, a total fluke, I thought 'lets head over there, just in case' not going during the time told or really expecting to see Arcturis show up (or at least not for a couple of hours still).
BUT, at 5:55am on US Terenas server, there he was. Panicking, heath-pounding, I threw down an ice trap then spent a few seconds freaking the %^&* out that I could not find my 'tame beast' in my spells. He jumped over the trap, was on me, but didn't even put a dent in my health (at 85 with armor lvl 324).
So guys, seriously, even if you think you are on the wrong time for him, always check back now and then, you never know when you might get lucky ;)
Now, to name him...

Thanks for the tips wish me luck! (server korialstrasz)

In case people still haven't figured it out, the way the Northrend rare spawns work is, there are a fixed number of Northrend rare mobs that can be spawned at a given time, it is believed that 3-4 of them can be spawned at once. Their spawn points are already known, but there is no specific pattern to which ones spawn.
The best way to get pets like this is, now that there's less people in Northrend at least, really is to fly over Northrend and kill whatever rare spawns are up that are not the pets you're looking for.
I did this yesterday and in the process nabbed this bear as well as the rare parrot from Sholazar Basin, also killed 3 other rare spawns in the process.

i'm on hour ten, and i wanted to confirm.
he spawns at the top of the hill between the waterfall/river and amberlodge
walks down the hill
then walks north through the river shore.
let me know if im looking in the right place. im using npc tracker and a macro..
*first edit*
I killed seething hate in it's northern spawn point to try to force spawn arcturis, still waiting however.
seething hate killed at 9:07 server. it's now 10:00 so im waiting to see if the "spawning on the 0" is valid or not.

Finally......got him. After 2 days camping i finally got him. Im in shock.......
Anyway, info ahoy! I forgot to look at my clock to check the time he spawned but the tame finished at 10:58pm GMT (11:58pm Server time) on Silvermoon-EU. Since i started taming the SECOND the bugger spawned i assume he spawned at either 10:57 or 10:58pm GMT.
I have been in this spot for around 14 hours yesterday. Then at 5am i went to sleep. Woke up at 10am and have been camping ever since. So its possible he spawned between 5am and 10am and someone killed him. That would mean he has around a 12 - 14 hour spawn. Personally? I belive its random. I belive it can be 8 hours, 12 hours, 16 hours, 20 hours or 32 hours. RNG is RNG.

Found him last night right at the spawn point of 30.8 56.4 2:14 AM Norgannon server time. Only third time looking for him and first time when I turned 74. I dropped my ice trap right on me because reading others who have dropped the trap in front of him and having him leap over the trap and not having a good time taming him. Im still in disbelief of getting him so quickly.
I do believe if you look for any of the Spirit Beast they can be found in the wee hours of the morning.
Happy Hunting to ALL and Good Luck.

Omg that was a long ass waiting time before that another hunter said he tamed him at 5:38am So ya this guy does have roughly a 24 hour respawn rate. Download some game add-ons if your gonna pull this &*!@ off!

I began looking for Arcturis for about 2 days, instead of camping him, I would randomly go and check if he was there at some points, for example: if I was waiting for a que, or if I had woke up early I would go check, or if I was simply bored. I checked for him over the 2 days about 6-7 times. I had woken up early, and found him. I suggest downloading NPC scan, for it will alert you if you see him. He pretty much stays in one spot. If your not a hunter, please don't advertise in trade, people will come and kill him, just find a hunter and tell him.

12:27 real time i started hunting for some specific beasts.. All rare. I've used the macro /tar -enter desired name- the whole time, here the story goes: I flew around Sholazar to tame Loque'nahak, the spirit beast cat, at the southwest part of the mountains. I got it now. Continueing to Zul'Drak, for Gondria. Tamed her close to the altar of Quetz'lun. Off to Grizzly Hills, flying around Amberpine Lodge, i found Arcturis at the river. I had the feeling my heart stopped! I quickly dismissed my current pet (Cursed Offspring of Hakkar) and tamed him. I named him as he already was called, Arcturis, i just loved that name. It's awesome how he has cat ability's as a Bear! Just Skoll to go now for my epic team.
Tamed them all at the same day.

Tamed on the Trollbane server. 12:21 PM EST. Several other Hunters came by looking for him, but gave up and left. I stood by for a solid hour doing quests in Grizzly Hills then my NPCScan went off. Freezing Trapped him and tamed him before any other Hunters could come in and ruin it for me. Phew!

A Note on Spawn Timers
:
A post by rjmacready on the first page suggests that all (or at least most) spawns happen at the top of the hour. I have at least 1 experience
to confirm this
!
My experience
:
I went to see if Arcturis was there. I killed myself taming Zarcotl and Nuramoc, and was planning on doing the same camping with no sleeping for Arc... until I saw Rj's comment. It was 12:40am server (Darkspear - US), so I went out for a cigarette and came back at 12:50, and waited...
At
exactly 1:00 AM server time
, Arcturis spawned. I was able to tame him no more than 30 seconds later.
It took me around 78 hours of camping (with sleep of course) to get Nuramoc. Thanks to the "Rule-of-5 for Hunter Pet Taming" as I'll call it, I only spent literally 30 minutes max camping Arc's location.
Even if it's not a provable fact,
the top of the hour rule is definitely a great rule of thumb.

I like to see everyone else's bear stories so I guess I'll add mine as well.
First of all I found Arcturis randomly when I didn't even have a hunter, or at least it was like lvl 20 something at the time. I told my friend that it was there and he got it for himself instead. Couple of days ago my hunter finally hit lvl 74. I started camping him while I was at work and waited 6 hours, apparently 2 other Alliance hunters (Im on the alliance) had the same idea. So after about 5 hours of camping he spawned at 4:18pm. I guess I was kind of shocked because another hunter tagged it first and tamed it. I was pretty upset but what did I expect, I was only 74 and the other 2 hunters were lvl 85. So the next day I try the same thing, camping him at work. I figured he wouldnt spawn for another 24 hours. He hadn't spawned and I had to leave work so I called my brother to camp the location on my hunter as I commuted home. When I got home we both waited for about 30 minutes and he showed up and I tamed him quite easily with a freezing trap. However my brother liked to get me excited a couple of times by pulling his spirit bear out and making me think it had spawned -_- oh well. Anyways the spawn took approximately 25 hours from the previous kill so I hope that helps you other hunters hoping to get him. Happy hunting ^.^

he probably shouldn't be as much drama to tame now since everyone is in cata and northrend is pretty much deserted now so having someone kill him is pretty remote. I flew around and killed "seething hate" who happened to be up then went back to the spawn point below amberpine lodge and he spawned about 15 mins later.

I tamed all six Spirit Beast in 2.5 weeks (stumbled onto the Karoma first). In all case, I found them really late at night during the server time or early in the morning. I didn't bother camping, and just login to my hunter that logged out near the spawn point.

Hello fellow hunters!
A lovely spirit beast that one. Ghostly and transparent. I tamed him in the afternoon around 2 pm. He popped on on my NPC-Scan add on. There was no one around so I tamed him easingly. Here's a few things about him:
- He is realtively big. At level 85 he seems bigger then a normal bear.
- He is transparent and emits blueish smoke.
- Frost trap works!
- Only one spawn location! (near Amberpine Lodge)
(I think it's a he)
I didn't have to camp him, nor did I see anyone camp him. I fly over his spawn location once everyday when I'm around to hunt Northrend spirit beasts. His icon apeared on my screen together with a sound and it auto tagged and marked him. Easy found, easy tamed.
Good luck everyone!
Rheva, of Mooonglade.
Proud owner of all spirit beasts.

Just spawned and tamed on Argent Dawn at 7:15AM server time.
Been looking for a tanking/solo pet and looked up bears on Petopia, although then read how it is dps and not like other bears, so figured it would be nice for the collection should I find it. Camped for a while with no luck and would always see 1-2 other Hunters in the area so figured it's not worth the time of watching one spot when could be getting XP, so decided to work on some quests in the zone to pass the time. Whenever I noticed the time around the 5-minute idea I would zoom over and check.
So to those camping, don't leave right after five minutes figuring it may not spawn and to those camping with no luck, don't give up hope, do something else in the meantime to pass the time and eventually with a little luck and persistence, you'll find it!
EDIT:
I've been struggling with what to name him after being tamed, juggling between bear or astrological things, was trying to avoid total silliness out of respect to it being such a (seemingly) rare pet. One name that kept popping into my head didn't really sound like a bear name, although it seems to fit. I've decided to name Arcturis "Marion" after my grandfather who passed away this past December, so I guess it still works being that it is a spirit bear. /shrug

Wow...after about a month of checking every single day I finally got him.
Exodar realm..US, 7:29pm CST
About 2/3 of the time I'd check there was another hunter sitting around...so i'd hang out for awhile then take off...I'm not one to steal others tames.
Noone in Grizzly Hills tonight after clearing Utgarde Pinnacle so I flew over and just sat there for about an hour...noone showed up! I was watching some youtube vids on solo clearing Kara and other vids...glanced over and BAM! there he was!
Sooo happy :)
Stick with it all....Skoll is next for me...eventually. Just made my hunter my main about 2 months ago so I'm camping a bunch of the rares...very fun stuff :)

I just got this Spirit Bear at 12:17am EST-11:17pm server time on 3/26/2011 (server). (Draka-US)
I camped out in that exact spot on the "B" in Amberpine Lodge
for about 30-45 mins. I installed the add-on, npcscan on the computer and deleted the cache folder to reset the alert for each rare elites. He popped up right in front me! It shocked the hell out me and had to act quickly on taming him b/c in my mind I also thought that someone would try to attack it and kill it. But, luckily nobody was around.
I very excited when i finished taming him. I also took a screenshot of it too. =P
I would also like to give credit to another hunter named Snowowl when whispering to him when he tamed Arcticus and told me he got him very recently. So thanks again, Snowowl for giving me feedback. =D

Hi. On march 28th at 4:54 pm realm time I watched him spawn, tried to tame him but was not in beast spec so a orc hunter tamed the bear. The following morning on march 29th at 5:54 am realm time he spawned again and i tamed him. 13 hours respawn. Unless you are a programer for the game, all the above theories are just theories. My realm restart on this day was not untill later at 7:20 am realm time. Thats my story and i'm sticking to it.

Just tamed him, US-Terenas, 4:33 ST, after 13 hours camping. I camped for a wee bit Tuesday morning, from about 1:30 am to maybe 5:30 am my time, I fell asleep in my chair :) I'm guessing he probably popped up not long after server restart and someone a bit more enterprising snagged him. Same old spawn point, right next to those 3 trees there at the corner of the hill. Just came sauntering out of nowhere, I actually saw him before my SilverDragon did. Thankfully at that hour of the morning there was no one around, so I could take a moment and marvel at him before pushing that "tame" button. There were a couple other hunters who popped in and out, I can't recall their names so I'm posting in the hopes they check here and can get a timeline. He's VERY transparent even when not in "stealth", and I love the heartbeat. Thinking of naming him BooBear. :)

Finally tamed this bad boy at 12 pm server time.Took me 22 hours of camping.Killed one of the other rares in the zone as well.
This was the first spirit beast I tamed and the first one I wanted.
Some tips:
Always search Grizzly hills for the other three rares,if you kill one of them,the better is the chance for Arcturis to spawn.
As a general rule of thumb,he will always spawn at the top of the hour.so if your camping him,you can go afk if he doesnt spawn in the first 10 mins of the hour or so.
Hes got amazing damage,a cool 20 k heal as well:D.Im going to use him in arena and see how it goes.

Just got him! 1am on the dot on Elune. I couldnt believe it. I have been camping him for over a month and tonight I was really just messing around. I had wow down and was playing on facebook when I saw what time it was. I had seen on here where some people had said that he spawns at the top of the hour so i figured since it just turned one and I was already there Id pull wow back up and look. Sure as the world I pulled wow up and my heart almost came out my chest, THERE HE WAS! I almost freaked and couldnt believe I was the only hunter around when I had just seen two different hunters camping him earlyer. Im so excited and this makes my 2nd spirit beast ( I have the lep) and my 4th rare (also have Sambas and Humar my first). Good luck to all you other hunters out there looking to get him, he really does look wonderful!

If anyone from Dragonblight server is looking for a timeline update, i just tamed this dude at 2:13 server time at coords 31,55. i just hit lvl 74 last night and wanted him to be my first spirit beast! waited around through the night while watching tv, but no spawn. woke up and started camping around 6o'clock server time. Downloaded silverdragon while i waited, and 8 hours later while i was reading a book, i happened to look up and he literally spawned on top of me! he's pretty awesome to look at and I am very excited to have him as a pet! Good luck to whoever decides to get him next!

Found him today at 12:10 PM. I was camping him for about 5 hours, waiting for NPC Scan to go off with no results. I started looking for other rares in the zone and found Seething hate the moment I flew into his area, killed him and returned no Arcturis' spawn point. After about 7-8 mins he spawned and I tamed him!
Edit: My hunter was lvl 75 at that time on Hellscream - EU

I tamed him at 10:35 pm last night on Drenden. I was there from 9:45-10:15 then went off to do a quest(if you just hit 74 there are a number of quests nearby). There were some people who came by at the top of the hour and the hour before but then left. I came back to check in and there he was. So, he is very predictable in space but not at all in time as best I can tell. Good luck all. He is awesome.

I was cruising around on my alt hunter ( lvl 75) lookin for a new pet so i went to Petopia. Followed the link here seen where the bear should be then went there. Of course he wasnt there atm so i flew up to stormpeaks to check on the time lost proto drake for my main and just to see if skroll was around. Flew back to grizzly hills and at 9.57 i got to the bears spawn and he was there so i got the tame. Id say the best advice is just to camp there at 5 before the hour for a little bit. Thanks for the help.

I created an account on wowhead just to say that I got Arcturis! After about four straight hours of camping (relatively little time, I know), he appeared at 8:25 PM on Arthas - which kind of jives with what coltsfan a few comments above on the same server said about a 1:25 PM spawn time about a week ago. SOOOO excited!
It was totally worth it to get ganked by a lvl 78 dwarf hunter (I just hit 75) just ten minutes before that - I guess he killed me and then got bored? (Side note: he killed me while flying on his griffon - wasn't sure you could even do that) (Side side note: I saw him camping there yesterday when flying by just to see, and bowed to him and everything and wished him luck even though he didn't understand that part obviously. Well karma's a @#$%^ my diminuitive friend!)
Npcscan went off and at first I had no idea what it meant. Then my heart leapt into my throat, I went down, did freezing trap, and got him stuck and tamed him quickly, no damage.
Sorry, I'm rambling because I'm so happy!

Tamed on Earthen Ring server, approx. 1pm server time. Fairly no hassle camping, just log in and out at his sole spawn point, hang there while waiting for your randoms to pop. Took me about two days total.

Tamed on Draka at 12:50 server time. I was grinding my priest through Northrend when I happend to fly over his spawn (I was going to my next quest hub.) Since it was so early in the morning nobdy was there camping. I hopped on my hunter and bought a mage port to dal (My gold :( ) and then went to his spawn, he was still there but I just realized that I needed a Beast Mastery talent spec to tame him. So after many troubles of porting respecing and spending up too 100g on ports I finally tamed him. Either way, it seem's like from previous posts, he seem's to spawn either really late at night, or really early in the morning.. Goodluck on your farming!

Been camping him for almost 18 hrs straight and not even a glimpse of him occasionally check on the other rares in the area from what I've seen only one spawned and I killed it I'm starting to think he doesn't exist but I'm about to throw in the towel clearly he shares a respawn timer with the other rares I can't see him taking this long ....

Tamed this morning at 6:37 am ( 9:37 AM server) as I was getting ready to go to the hospital for my 789897 th ( yeah I am exaggerating but god so many now ) MRI.
Maybe its a sign that everything will be okay!
Didn't camp long maybe, 1 hr or so, I was afk'd in the shower, and when I dressed up NPC scan wailed.

I had a guildie spot the spawn at around 10:50pm (central) and when I showed up minutes later, another horde hunter that was harassing me earlier decided to kill it while I was taming it. He then proceeded to log on his alliance toon and threatened to camp the bear relentlessly to keep me (who did nothing, with the exception of just BEING there BEFORE him) from ever taming it.
If you're that type of person who kills spirit beasts, please stop. Killing the spirit beasts will only keep you and the other hunters who want it from getting it. The hunter that could have tamed it would be another zone minding his business or offline altogether. Now they will have to be in competition for the same bear, still.
Think before you kill a rare spawn.

So I got crazy lucky today!
I have been leveling a hunter for the past couple weeks and when I finally got the exotic pet ability I was looking for rare beasts to tame and this was the lowest level Spirit Beast that could tame. So as soon as I hit 73 I went straight to Grizzly Hills and started doing quests and such and checking his spawn point here and there until I could get to 74.
So I woke up this morning and started questing and decided to go check is spawn point and BOOM! goes my _NPCscan so I land and dismiss my bear so I can abandon my core hound(I will get Chromaggus later) and then it hit me s*** I'm still only 73 so with 149k xp left I check how many people are there only 3. So I start to quest like a mad man, check again and now there is just me and a DK in Grizzly but still scared he might run into him and kill him. So I did a few quests but was still 5k short so I just killed a few wolfs and ding 74.
I fly over too were he spawns and sure enough he is waiting there for me to tame him and I did! So with a lot of luck and it being 7am I got him and now he is my loyal companion =)

I just tamed him on Alonsus - EU at 18:09 server time. Must say I was pretty lucky getting him, one of my guild members said that he had been waiting 3 days before he got his bear.
Either way I waited 8 hours total. Some yesterday evening and then this morning and then most of this afternoon after I got home from school.
So if you play on Alonsus - EU the bear got tamed at 18:09 . I do not know when his last seeing before this was but now we have a set date for when it was last on Alonsus - EU

On Earthen Ring a fellow Hunter, the nelf Talamelan, killed Arc as I was taming him.
I’m level 85 and had been camping for about 20 hours off and on since the realm restart on Tuesday 4/12, from 4:30pm through 12 noon server time. I missed an hour, 7:30pm-8:30pm to get home from work and 4am-9am to sleep. Talamelan, level 74, set up camp around 8pm as I was traveling home. I logged onto my Alliance toon and whispered him good luck and that I wouldn’t kill Arc.
Arc finally spawns exactly at 12 noon. My NPCScan goes off and I immediately cast Distracting Shot, start taming and almost have him when Talamelan’s auto shots pull aggro and he starts taming. We trade Arc back and forth a couple times. As I’m 11 levels higher, I’m able to pull aggro quicker and have another tame that is almost finished.
Seeing my tame cast nearing its end Talamelan casts Arcane Shot and Kill Shot (I checked the combat log afterwards). He’s killed Arc.
I log back on to my Ally toon and ask why he killed him. Talamelan replies “because you were taming him.” As other posters on this page have said, I told him that killing Arc only hurts him because now he has more competition but he wouldn’t listen.
Is there anything I could have said to Talamelan to prevent him from killing Arc? Or is it one of those situations where he’s just someone who won’t listen to reason/logic?
It’s really frustrating how horrible some people can be online. Not to mention a fellow Hunter.

Just tamed him. I've been camping for 10hours <standing in the 'B' on the map> where he spawned right on top of me. Scared the living daylights out of me! NPCscan worked great.. Even tho I could clearly see he was right on top of me. I've heard he's a 24hr re-spawn and yes he is Non-Combative <yellow instead of red>.

Just tamed this beautiful bear at 1:50am server time on Alonsus-EU. He'd been around for about 10mins prior to me taming as I'd been roaming around Northrend with a friend generally bored. Had been on my shaman when I flew over him and quickly relogged to my hunter and made the zep/flight to where he was. He was just across the stream from the lodge and walking up and down the hill, had barely moved from when I left him on my Shammy. I half expected him to have been tamed or killed by the time I got there. :) He is such a lovely bear, hope other people enjoy the same luck.

Tamed him last night at 9:08pm server time on Twisted Nether. Two hordes showed up after two hours of camping, a level 85 Blood Elf Death Knight (who I assumed just wanted to kill him) and a level 77 hunter. Called some of my guildies to come shoo them away, and not more than 10 min after them becoming "encouraged" to leave, he showed up. Only being a level 74 hunter myself, I was left with less than 400 health before he was tamed.

I wanted to pass along that I JUST tamed Arcturis. 6:48pm server time on Zul'Jin. At about 6:40, I saw that we had a rolling server restart incoming. I figured it was a good idea to park my hunter near Arc's spawn point in case the restart triggered his spawn. I flew down, and within 30 seconds, NPCscan went off. SCORE!
Don't give up fellow hunters! Good fortune is out there. And if you're alliance on ZJ, watch for me in general - I always broadcast if I see a rare.
Happy Hunting to all!

This bear took almost four days to spawn and tame. He only has one spawn point and contrary to other posts, he DOES NOT spawn on the island with the grizzly bears. He spawns halfway up the hill closer to the lodge. Beware: you have to have Beast Mastery to get him. He does a lot of DPS quickly, so use Freeze Trap. He jumps at you so place trap at your feet and make sure you turn auto-fire off after first shot. Other than that, an amazing pet!

I think I only tried camping his spot a few times, only about 20 min at a time..then one night, pretty late...I waited for about an hour or two...maybe 3...memory is kinda faded now, as this was over a week ago...but I waited and waited.....and waited...then I flew up in the air to check just near the waterfall, as I was waiting on the hill part below the waterfall. I was not gone from my spot more than 20 seconds, then flew back to see him walking around where I was just sitting... >__> I was like wtf?
I landed, tagged with a regular shot, tamed....mine!
Pretty bear. I think I like his look best of all, even though I don't like bears in general. ;D

Got him at 11.57pm Server - US Sen'jin.
Spent a few days here and there looking for him, 3hrs one morning when another hunter followed me around for an hour or so. Logged off and left my hunter alone for a day. Logged back on to a flashing Silver dragon warning.
Very beautiful pet. ^.^
No other hunters in the area thank goodness.
I must have skipped over this when reading about him, but it surprised me somewhat when I went to do his talents and he's ferocity.

I'm not sure when the last tame/kill was, but after camping the above location from 11:30AM server (central) time on Kul'Tiras, the bear spawned at exactly 8:05PM. These comments helped me a lot, so I wanted to add my data for future hunters, as well.
Lotta' hunters doing flybys throughout the day, but no one stayed long, and it was an absolute ghost town when he showed up. Perseverance is key. :)

I've been checking the spawn point off and on the past few days, occasionally seeing some other hunters waiting for the beast to appear. I checked today, and amazingly Arcturis was there just wandering around. Flew in, tagged, tamed. I did this as a lv 74 hunter and was 500 HP from death as he hits pretty hard, but I just made it. Amazing looking pet! Good luck to all the hunters out there looking for this special bear.

So hopefully you all don't hate me, I hit 74 just minutes ago and instantly flew to Grizzly Hills, as soon as I zoned in my npc scan went off and I found the big sons of hodir looking rare spawn on my way to Arcturis' spawn point, dropped down and killed him then proceeded to the spawn point and behold there's Arcturis chilling out at the spawn point. Dropped in and tamed him with no one else in sight. Good luck to the rest of you guys = )

Wow!
I guess I've been really really lucky according to many of these posts. I've never been much of a rare-hunter (no pun intended :-p), but upon hearthing to Amberpine yesterday, SilverDragon reported the bear seen.
Then I got the bright idea to actually try to tame it. It was then around 10pm-ish. I sat there for an hour - hour and a half, while reading the comments here and no spawn. A few other hunters showed up, hovering the spawnlocation abit and flew away.
When I got back from work today, I noticed the time was 5:48pm. I was still logged out at his spawnlocation, and thought; why not, so I killed the stags around there, plus adding a few more critters to my guilds Crittergeddon. The top of the hour came and went, no Arcturis, waited until 6:07pm before I started preparing dinner. Went back to the computer to check my facebook and as I was about to close WoW - BOM! There he was. Not sure about the exact time of spawn, since I was doing other stuff, but I tamed him at 6:18pm - Aerie Peak, EU.
I'm level 83 as I write this so had no troubles taming him of course. Why I still had Amberpine as HS-location was just a fluke really. I stopped questing there sometime mid-wotlk and never revived my hunter until Cata came around. I always forgot to set my HS somewhere else.
Downside is though... now I've been bit. Now I am worried that I will seek more rares, camp them and eventually lose my marbles doing so. :)

I just got this beauty at his spawn point by the river just northwest of Amberpine Lodge on Aegwynn-US 5:12pm server time.
had been camping the spawn and logging in 3 times a day before and after work and sometimes at night and NPC scan went off today as soon as I logged in he was patrolling just north of my spot at the river. No other hunters in sight and I panicked and had to abandon a junk pet i had tamed the other day with Arcturis in an ice cube and trying to find my tame beast button frantically in the spell book lol. Got him and i'm blown away that he's a DPS pet with a bear skin VERY UNIQUE in and of itself well worth even the minimal amount of time I invested in tracking him down. Time to spawn camp Loque'nahak :D
Good Luck to all my fellow hunters!

After camping for 2 days straight and just doing dungeon runs while waiting and the occasional look for Gondria (which i found!) I found this sweety at the spawn point that everyone has mentioned at 8:05pm feathermoon server time. He's so pretty! In my opinion definitely shows off the "spirity" look a lot better than gondria but the heal ability is friggin awesome.
good luck all!

Another (hopefully useful) comment on the spawn timer:
Noobish as it is, I accidentally killed him at around 12:30 AM last night (I wanted only to tag him with a regular shot, but I was on my flying mount and I was too excited as well, and didn't realize that I had an active pet that torn the poor bear to pieces in a matter of seconds, before I could call him back and dismiss him), and then I successfully tamed him at around 4:00 PM today.
I planned to return after 21 hours to start camping, but I though why not fly around to check, just in case...
So while it is most likely random, I experienced a 15-and-a-half hour respawn. (There were no server restarts or maintenance between the two spawns, of course.)
Hope it helps to some fellow hunters that are still after him.
/edited for grammar school maths fail.

then i decided to log onto my warrior that i hd stationed in arcturis spawn point and guess *!@#ing what. he $%^&ing spawn right infront of me ! and even worse theres an ally hunter there to ! and he has only been camping him couple minutes for 2 days ! its so @#$%ing frustrating !

Just tamed Arcturis a few minutes ago on Blade's Edge EU.
It spawned at 16:14 server time in it's standard spawn spot. Today is Wednesday and we had rolling restarts between 5.00 and 7.00 AM as was stated in breaking news on Tuesday evening and I was camping the spot since 10.00 AM today hoping that it hadn't spawned (and killed/tamed) earlier this morning. Not sure what time exactly was server restarted.
So it seems that Arcturis spawned between 9 and 11 hours after the server restart.
Hope that info helps someone:)
Btw, think twice before you keep the default BOOOOOOM sound in NPC scan addon, because when the alarm sound went off, I was sleepily watching tv - that made my hands so shaky that I almost one shot Arcturis (I'm 84 and luckily crap geared) when I missclicked arcane shot with tame button lol

Spawned EXACTLY one hour after taming Skoll. That may or may not have any relevance what so ever to his spawning with other mobs so don't take it to heart.
I began my run which was every 2 or 3 hours between questing, to find the last two of the Northrend spirit beasts, Skoll and Arcturis. Between 7:35am and 8am server time on Caelestraz, I passed through Skolls areas and to no avail. Went to visit our Grizzly beauty and he wasn't there either. I decided to camp for a moment and then went back to Skoll and sure enough 8:08am there he was, tamed and mine.
I waited an hour at the normal spot for Arcturis, and while alt-tabbed I hear my NPC scan go off and sure enough there was the bear. Checked the time and it was 9:08am server time! Tamed and what a beast!
Thanks to all your comments and devotion on this animal it really means alot to me and others.
To all other hunters out there I wish you the best and quick spawn times! Its a pleasure knowing all your comments and mine will help even more that are looking for him.
Happy Hunting!
Edit for this story of my total experience with spirit beast spawns.
I may be very very lucky or blizzard has a funny way of making some hunters cry. Karoma was my last spirit beast after only one week of searching for all 6. Loque and Gondria were found with normal random spawns (or so I think), but Skoll, Arcturis, Ghostcrawler and Karoma were all found and tamed exactly one hour from another tame by me. Found Skoll, tamed him and moved on. Went to check on Arcturis and exactly one hour later he spawned, tamed him as well. Today I managed to bag Ghostcrawler at 11:00pm server time and while looking for Karoma, again exactly one hour later they spawned and was added to my collection. Could be a fluke but I guess something to look into.

Roughly speaking, it took me about a week to actually see him. I play on Stormscale server, so it is quite populated. So there was a lot of competition for him, with him only having one spawn point. I would always see Horde hunters around me, waiting for him (heck I would even be killed just for the fun I guess). But I never gave up.
One day, I came home from work and log on. And low and behold, there he was, just walking. Nobody else was around. I landed and and froze him and started to tame. My heart was pounding because all I could think was some body else killing me while I was taming. But I finished the tame with no problem. Bout two minutes after my tame, two hunters come looking for him.
My only advice is never give up. Yes, it comes all down to timing, but always try and make it happen. He is an amazing pet and I wish you all the best of luck and happy hunting!

Started camping at 7:35am (server time) on Dragonblight and camped non-stop for twenty hours. Spawned at 3:32 am (server time) and tamed at the normal location by Amberpine Lodge (31, 56).
Spawned near the large tree on the right side, then started walked up the hill.

I read somewhere on this site that its more likely to find rares in the ten minutes before and after the hour, so i've started camping my spirit beasts around this time... found him 10:55 :) named him Animus, because I'm naming all my spirit beasts something in latin. Animus means spirit, Skoll will be Nox - night, Karoma will be Lupus - wolf, and Ghostcrawler will be Anancites - Diamond. and Loque and Gondria will be Iris, because, well, it just makes sense.
And yeah I'm Canadian I spell Endeavour with a u deal :3

Just tamed Arcturis at 7:06 server time on Cenarion Circle. Whew! I camped him for around 5 hours at a time for the past three days!
There were several other hunters who came and left as I waited, but I hoped that my patience would pay off, and it finally did! I got word that he had been tamed yesterday around 4:20 pm, while I was at work, so I figured out the best times to wait for him based on the comments here and on other sites. I knew there was little chance of getting him before 5 am, so I wandered around last night and stumbled across Loque'nahak by chance, and tamed him.
Everytime NPCScan goes off, I just about jump out of my skin, and get all flustered. My hubby's sitting here next to me, yelling at me to hit the right buttons, and I'm just spinning around mashing keys frantically. LOL. I'm sure we're quite a sight!
Anyways, thanks to all of you and your helpful tips for helping me get this beauty!
BTW... these are my first two Spirit Beasts, ever! I'm totally hooked on the hunt now, and will definitely have to collect them all!

Well first off thanks for all the great tips on here. The one that helped me the most was to check at five minutes before the hour to five minutes after the hour. I actually started at ten till and waited till ten after. I camped for a few hours yesterday and am a very impatient person so i decided to try this method and starting last night around midnight. Setting my alarm to wake me every hour i was upset to awaken this morning at six a.m. server time and beside me was a lvl 85 alliance but thank god he waved at me and flew off. Two hours later i'm the proud owner of my favorite pet in the whole world now. Thanks for not killing me :)

Just had Arcturis spawn in front of me after 2 days of non-stop camping. In the last 5 minutes before spawn an Alliance hunter decided to drop in and start harassing me, emotes, putting his bulky pet on top of me, running circles around me..
Well, Arcturis spawns and I tag him first and begin my tame. Of course, the other hunter kills him in a second flat. Two days of complete dedication down the drain and he lowered his chances even more of getting the bear because I will once again be out there, day in day out to get my pet.
Please.
If someone else gets the tag before you, let them tame the damn bear! It's stupid and naive for you to kill him. It just lowers your chances to get him and makes someone else extremely upset. Use your common sense.
EDIT: Gave up on camping for the time being, at least until people grow up. Was out there again for quite awhile today, the other hunter strolls on in again. After a few hours, I'm sick of listening to the worgen idle noises and his pet charging a deer or bear every five seconds. I leave. Apparently, another worgen hunter comes along after I leave though. A few hours later, guess who spawns.. he is killed once again. I love how stupid some people really are.
Edit 2!: Got this gorgeous bear a couple days ago at around 5:30am. After taming I went to go check for Karoma, the last beast I need for my collection and bam! There goes NPC Scanner. Was so happy. Karma is for the win =)

Just tamed Arcturis at 10:35 PM EST on Shadowmoon server. I saw him earlier, at 2:30 PM today, but I was only LVL 73 and another hunter tamed him before I could ding. Unless this was just a lucky fluke, his spawn rate may have been increased a bit.

I think I was just ridiculously lucky, as I've only spent a total of an hour or two camping. Following the advice from the comments I checked every couple of hours at the top of the hour and finally tonight at 10:06 server (Twisting Nether) I flew over to check and there he was. Beautiful pet and pretty good for leveling too.

Probably not that new news, but decided to report my Arcturis adventure too for those that might still be interested.
Started sitting in the spawn point around 9pm. Occasionally went to patrol Zul'Drak and Storm Peaks for possibly rares, since I had npc scan looking for everything it could.
During the first flight over Zul'Drak, I found the sentry rare.
During third sitting session near Arcturis' spawn point, npc scanner succeeded to give another heart attack to me, as it had apparently found Grocklar. Killed it in frustration for the achievement and continued camping.
Then finally 3am, sharply to the second, npc scanner managed to drop me off my chair as I was already half asleep, and actually I was just logging out and giving up.
There he was. Strolling on the beach. After initial shock I tamed him and went to patrol Zul'Drak and Storm Peaks once again, since I had noticed a lot of chain tames happening to others. But found nothing in the other areas. Still I'm happy with my bear <3
TL;DR;
Arcturis spawned sharply 3am on Chromaggus server
/Edit
But Loq was in Sholazar! Two tames under an hour!

i got him at 11:40, maybe 11:35, but did not notice him. so technically, i think it is a xx:00 +/- 10 minutes or xx:30 +/- 10 minutes. or it might be complete random.

Tamed like Half and Hour ago, really bautiful bear.
My experience was a little tirening. I Started at 10:30 AM server time (Quel'Thalas -LA) , been there for 9 hours (tough suffered an electricity cut from 12:00 -12:44), even now in cataclysm a lot of hunters came at some times of the day, even a friend from my guild, some of them wisehd me luck, some just saw me and then left, some of them already had the ebar but went these runing my NPCSCAN and trying to fool me with thir own pets -_-.
Anyway I went to dinner, and coming back I saw NPCSCAN went off, so I run to my chai, clicked the NPCScan anouncement and there he was!, lonely! he was a little above the mentioned spawn point but As I was absent at first he probably just walked there and I didn't see him, anyway I tamed him around 19:30 PM server time and called him NyahGwaheh for the Mythologic bear. Good luck all , and remember stay firm!

Arcturis is the last of the first 4 original Spirit Beasts that I need.. I've read up on just about everything, and haven't seen a post if anyone found him on Area 52 yet... I spent more time on this one that I did, all the other 3 combined. Skoll and Loque were the easiest of them.. Can someone spread a little more information on him.....

Tamed today at 14:30, location as shown on the map. NPCScan failed to detect the mob. I camped this spot with a second char and restarted WoW right before, so my cache was definetly empty because it get's cleared before WoW starts up automatically. I searched some alchemy stuff on this char when I saw something blue in the green background and there he was. After I relogged to my hunter NPCScan told me Arcturis is cached - don't know what happened, this addon did a great job for me in the past. I think it's a one time fault but will keep an eye on it. So better use a /target macro, too - just to be 100% sure.
Hm...that's the only ferocity bear in the game I think.

Tamed him at 9:04 pm server time on Zangarmarsh realm. I had been checking back every hour to see if he had spawned; just happened to have logged out at his spawn point and when I logged back in...there he was. Beware of his pounce, totally jumped right over my frozen trap and beat me down to half health before I tamed him; it was worth every hit, though. He was right where _NPCScan said he would be, on the slope right under Amberpine Lodge. Woot for me! Happy hunting, all =D

Just tamed him at 5:26PM Mannoroth US. He was at his normal spot, just being a spectral bear, living life. I had just come back from questing (because I was bored and wanted to check if he was there). Soo, I had my hopes down, and NPCscan did NOT go off. But when I saw a little yellow dot inside the blue square, I almost had a heart attack when it said, "Arcturis".
His new name is Tweedledee.
I am glad I got there in time, because 5 minutes later, I was killed by a 85 horde hunter.
GL to all hunters trying to get this pet.

Tamed @ 10:15am Argent Dawn - US
My first spirit beast :D Here's to many more successful tames!
I was just questing in the area and made frequent stops back to his spawn point, looks like my wife is good luck because the one time she flew over with me he was there!
This is a tricky tame mostly because of how close he spawns to a frequently used quest hub. It's such a high traffic area it's almost impossible to miss this guy when you're questing, so he ends up getting killed.
Good luck to all of you trying to tame him!

_NPCScan went off as I was flying to Storm Peaks. Landed at K3, turned right around, and headed back to Amberpine Lodge. To my shock, he was still there! Tamed him pretty easily.
I'm posted a comment because I have a question though. Is anyone else having trouble deactivating his Spirit Walk? He stealthed as soon as I had him tamed, which is expected. I right-clicked to cancel the ability being active, then tried to left-click to deactivate the actual stealth mode and it keeps telling me the ability isn't ready yet. It only has a 7-second CD and it's definitely been far longer than 7 seconds. Any ideas?

Just nailed him after only camping for a less than an hour. 4:14pm Kel Thuzad time.
NPC Scan didn’t go off even though cache was cleared but honestly the guy rezzed right in front of me. I was next to the Buck Elk that pats near the tree. I mean he appeared right in front of me…. I about pissed myself. Was just about to leave too because there were two other hunters there.

Flying from Howling Fjord to Grizzly Hills, thought I'd check out the rares as I'd tamed King Krush and Aotona about an hour earlier ... NPC scanner goes off as I spot Syreian and nail her as she crosses the bridge. Flying west now, NPC scanner goes off again, and there is Seething Hate ! I nail him too, 2 satchels and 2 blues in my bag and head to Arcturis thinking this is too good to be true. Got that one right, no Arcturis. It's 9:40 am and I read on here about the 'top of the hour' so I did the rounds extinguishing flames in Northrend. Get back and extinguish the Zul Drak one and head south for one last time. Flew over where I'd nailed Seething Hate not 30 mins before and continue down to Arcturis and sure enough NPC Scanner goes off again ! I'd only respec'd the talents on King Krush from an hour before (died once trying to tame him). I dismissed KK dropped a freezing trap, put 2 concussive shots into Arcturis before he'd hit my freezing trap and sat back and tamed him. Easy as ... unbelievable the excitement you get as you're expecting some other hunter to beat you to it, not to mention ppl who nail him for the Achievement. It was 10:06 on Frostmorne sever and for the record, came in from the northeast, parked myself on the top of the hill looking in a southwesterly direction and he jumped at me from near the waters edge, up the hill and straight into my trap. Just as a closer, I also had glyph of freezing trap as a major just in case a rare breaks your trap or the timer runs out - gives a 70% speed reduction to your target for 4 sec after they break. Food for thought. Cheers.

Just got this guy today following the 5 minutes +/- the top of the hour method. This guy was pretty heavily camped on my server, but no one was there at 2:01 pm today (probably because of the Kalu'ak Fishing Derby, d'oh!) but he spawned and I got him.
Try that method, you might be surprised guys. (For those who don't know what I mean, it means camp the area from the :55 to the :05 of the hour, if it doesn't spawn go away and come back)

I recently came out from a heroic dungeon when i come out and found "Skoll" which i tamed. Then i thought i could search for Gondria aswell in Zul'drak (because i just love spirit beast pets) and found him aswell. Then i thought that this must be my lucky day, so i tested to find "Arcturis" aswell, which was there too! Insane day for me!
I found Arcturis just north of Emberpine Lodge.
Tamed him without any problems at all, just to be sure you can lay a freezing trap on the ground infront you, then start to tame him.
Wish you luck!

HE HAS ONLY ONE SPAWN POINT!
thought I'd get that out first :3
He was the first of my camping efforts, and I stayed up 24hours.
so ya know, not fun at all, died of boredom
I finally logged off at about 3am and went to sleep. I lost hope due to not finding him, and logged on around 12pm on The forgotten coast. There he was just struttin around. I used an ice trap and tamed him at 12:13pm on a monday :)
I'll be putting screenshots of all the spirit beasts and their locations when I'm at home lol
hopefully this helped you, as it was hard for me to find info before hand :)

Gah.. I logged in at around 13:00 this morning at his spawnpoint in Grizzly Hills. I left my hunter there so I could check every once in a while.
There it was, my heart pumping of excitement, I flew over there, dismounted and started to tame immediately. I was already at 1/4th bar, when He suddenly dropped down dead.
It seems that my pet(Loque'nahak) was already summoned and smashed him to the ground in two hits.
I could really kill myself. I'm going to log back on my hunter at 9 pm - 1am just to see if he's there!

Found him today on my hunter and sheesh he must have a very long spawn timer.
I had my ally rogue sitting at his lone spawn camp with my other account while I logged onto my hunter (making it look like there was more competition and someone potentially going to kill it considering my rogue). From the time I logged on, which was around 11am server on WrA my rogue sat and camped with no downtime and NPC scan ready to pick it up while my hunter went off to do other things. Did some PvP, went to Org a few times to train or take a break, and occasionally checked my rogue and had him run around the spawn point after a while.
Since I had hit level 80 from AV weekend I went to train and check the AH for upgrades to get into cata dungeons, changed my secondary spec after loads of research on what would be best for DPS and grabbed one of my non exotic pets from the stables to do some cata dungeons with me. Got a few guild runs in first, then started just queuing solo. Found a rather nice group and we ran a few dungeons together, and during one of the runs just before a boss I check my rogue to see if the bear had spawned yet and lo and behold! Asked my party to wait while I went to tame what I had been camping on my second account for at LEAST 10 hours or more.
Spawned at 10pm server or close to that time (NPC scan didnt go off since in a BG someone had the bear, resulting in it going into my cache with no alert) and luckily nobody was around to tame. An ally priest asked if I was going to kill it on my rogue and I said no I had been camping it all day for my hunter friend who has wanted it since level 74 (and had it killed twice in front of their face) which she said thats quite the dedication, and she refrained from killing it even while I tamed it with my Horde character and thanked her.
Still 10+ hours for this mob does lean towards one of the longer spawn times. Again, worth the wait since this is the only DPS bear and the only spirit beast bear.

I camped Arcturis today on Draenor from 2:07PM server time, until 11PM on the dot, when he spawned and I tamed him. That's 9 hours, with him spawning
exactly on the hour
. No idea when he was last killed.
A couple of notes:
It didn't matter if the other rares in Grizzly Hills were alive or dead, this didn't affect his spawning rate.
The "only five rares can be up in Northrend at a time" theory doesn't seem to hold water, as a partner and I killed about 6 or 7 other Northrend rares while I was waiting, and this didn't seem to affect Arcturis' spawn time. So either his spawn timer wasn't up when the rares were killed, or this isn't true.
Freezing Trap+Tame made it easy as pie.
Good luck!

I looked for this one for about a week. Constantly flying over to Amberpine lodge, parking my character there, checking on it whenever. Monday morning, 08:19 server time (twisting nether), found him and NPCscan DIDN'T go off. Nice bear and a ferocity one to boot.
Best of taming to those out there still looking - he seems to take longer to spawn then say, Loque'nahak or King Krush.

I don't know if it's been mentioned here, but I someone on another forum that said they notice spirit beasts tend to spawn at ~5 minutes to/from the hour, which I took to mean that there is a 10 minute window from xx:55-xx:05. I started camping Arcturis' spawn point at about 8:30 PM realm time on Perenolde. I fished, killed and skin bears and chatted. 8:55 PM NPC Scan goes off and he's right there at the spawn point. It could just be coincidence, but I'd recommend testing this theory out on the other spirit beasts to see if it has some merit. He's awesome looking, good luck to anyone who's looking to tame him!

I just got mine after spending the last 7 and a half hours camping mine on my 74 bloodelf hunter on Frostmane eu and it truly looks amazing! While I was camping him on my hunter I came across several alliance 85 hunters but luckily I have quite a few horde 85 friends who came and helped along the wait. If you have skinning/mining its ideal with the amount of bears and veins around his spawn location, meaning along the way you can farm lots of mats and earn a fair bit of cash. While camping I would suggest getting a movie or two to watch, I watched a few along the way and it really helped me pass the time. My new bear looks amazing and I am over the moon that I got him! When I saw him there, standing in all his beauty I flew down and clicked tame so fast, I didn't lay a trap and I was worried about my choice but now that I have him I see it isn't needed. He did use a move called pounce and launched himself forwards at me and landed next to me but luckily I managed to turn with him so be carefull!
Good luck guys, hope this helps!
Happy hunting!

I tamed him 7:00am server time on Kul Tiras.
I woke up this morning before work to check if he was around. As soon as I logged in npcscan started going nuts.
My wife made fun of me for being in such a good mood this morning because of the tame. I told her I have been looking for this bear for 6 months. She said, "Wow, that's a long time!" Indeed it is woman! ;)
I have had several people kill it while I'm taming or found it dead. So this was very exciting for me.

Saw him up at 2:15 am Sentinels server. I'm not a hunter, however ironically there was a hunter hanging out in Amperpine lodge questing or something so I went and let him know it was up. Camped it for him while he went to respec and summoned him back to tame it.
Such a pretty pet, makes me wish I was a hunter. ;o
But indeed there are people like me that don't kill it for the lulz and actually -help- someone get it.

It seems like alot of people are talking about the rare pets sharing a spawn timer and it also seems that this idea is shot down quite a bit when there is a lot of evidence that leans this way. Now before you down-rate this hear me out...
I have poured over hundreds of pages of spawns, times, have talked to numerous hunters and have tamed all these (besides skoll) myself. And my conclusion is that while the rare pets do not share a spawn timer they do share a cd and here is why... find me one example where somebody can prove that say Loque'Nahak and King Krush were up EXACTLY the same time, without killing/taming one. I have not heard one example and yet I have camped two spawns with hunters only to find that once one was tamed shortly thereafter the second rare pet would spawn. But never have I seen both up at the same time.
Here is my theory, the rare pets (at least, I have no data on non-tamable rares) share a cd... meaning Loque'nahak will not spawn if King Krush is up, even if his spawn time has elapsed.
Many times in this thread, in Loque'Nahak and Gondria thread you hear "I tamed/killed XXX and then flew to the other rare spawn and XXX was spawned too" - admittedly the consensus has been this means they spawn at the SAME time but isn't it more logical that because you killed/tamed one it freed the other to spawn because his timer was up?
My data? Well here is some of it from Northrend camping...
Camped
Arcturis
over 8 hours, during which time I kept trask of Seething Hate spawn points every so often. Arcturis pops at 4:05:18 P.M. - I tame it and 15 minutes later Seething Hate spawns and is killed. A little over 5 hours later Arcturis respawns... and is tamed by another hunter but that hunter did not check Seething Hate that I know of.
Camped
Loque'Nahak
at the spawn that is shared with King Krush... 8:05 server King Krush spawns and I tame... 8:52 server Loque'Nahak spawns and I tame. 9:30 Aoton spawns and is killed (not by me) (the day I actually got them, I had been camping like 8 hours as well, so I was checking all spawns...)
Camped
Gondria
for a long time, finally got up one morning and at 6:05 server it spawns and I tame. Just for the heck of it I fly to the Terror Spinner spawns and low and behold at 6:15 he spawns. I tame him as well.
If you actually read posts on the rare tamable pets you find post after post with similar data. Now I don't believe all rares in a zone (i.e. Zul'Drak: Griegen, Sentrel etc) all share a cd, I think this has been proven false although I don't have evidence either way. But I believe from my days of researching these rares that the rare pets in a zone share cds and I ask for one person to prove this false.
If this is indeed true, if camping a rare pet in a zone, you should also track any other rare pet spawns as well. I hope this data helps people and I hope that people don't downrank without actually reading what has been said... I have actually researched the rares a ton, especially the rare spirit beasts... before you down-rank, have you?

I was level 73 when I decided to just go check out his spot and see if he was there... and he was. I figured no big, so I went off to level and came back at 74 to try and tame him figuring he would still be there and no such luck.
I can't believe I was that lucky! I've been camping for like, 10 hours so far and still no sign. D:

Just tamed him at 9:42 am server time on Turalyon. I had just hit level 74 and decided to go see if he was there. He wasn't, so I decided to research him a bit on this site. I tabbed back and there he was. Thank you to those who posted how to tame him! I just dropped frost trap and cast tame beast, a few seconds later he was mine. Now to learn how to play him and find a good name. By the way he is nearly invisible with "Spirit Walk" ability on. If your looking for him and not using a scanner or macro, make sure to have name plates up on npc's. Also if you have multiple specs make sure to be in Beast Mastery. All said, a very easy tame, I know many have waited longer to get this guy, so good luck to each of you!

So today i had hit 74 on my hunter, and I really play my hunter for the pets. So it was natural that i run off to find this guy. I planned it so i hit 74 about 4am server time.. so there would not be many people online.
Like many people here i read all the methods and tips for getting him. Which I planned on getting here on the top of the hour.. Which i did and he was not there. It was late at night and i was tired but i always get my pet.
My computer is in my bedroom so i turned my screen towards my bed and turned on sound for NPC scan so when it went off i would know and wake up.
I had no planned on taming him the same night because of the spawn times stated above. So i lied down expecting to wake up and start the hunt. As i had just started to zone out about 10 minutes after getting to the area i head the horn! I jumped right up and ran over and sure enough he was there. I had been there about 10-20 minutes! What luck!
As with everyone else he spawned on the same spot. NPC went off and thank goodness no one was there.
My time he arrived was 4:21 server time. Seems odd but im glad i was there. BEST OF LUCK WITH CATCHING HIM :D

Jeez I just wanna share this! Yesterday a guildie found Gondria for me and I tamed her, being happy that I've tamed one of my favourite spirit beasts. Late this night/morning, I was awake and decided to check on Arcturis too. Nothing there, so I went to bed and logged out at his spawning point. I log on today, 12 am on a saturday and he is standing right in front of me!

I found this guy on Drak'thul at 1:05pm server time. I left the game up and just got the NPC scanner so I was waiting to hear it go off. About an hour later I walked by my computer and he was standing right in front of me. I guess I don't know how to work the scanner correctly cause it didn't go off. I'm just glad no one else was around and I was able to tame him.

I literally JUST tamed Arcturis right now on Alonsus the time is 22:55 GMT UK time!
I'm so thrilled, this is my first spirit beast and I really didn't think I was getting him today. The reason for that being, at level 71 I took a little fly through Grizzly Hills just to see what it was like since many people think it's a beautiful zone (and it really is) not expecting to see anything interesting when lo and behold there he is. Now being a lower level and not able to tame I left him for another to do so or to kill, I was just glad I saw him. Of course this was lucky enough so I thought it'd be typical that it would take ages to find when I could tame him.
Adding to that, earlier there was a goblin hunter sitting on his bronze drake right at the spawn point so I thought "Damn not a chance i'm getting him today." I was lv 73 at that point about halfway to 74.
I leveled to 74 and came straight back, Goblin was gone and Arcturis was there!
So surprised the Goblin player left, if he had waited another hour he would have had him xD Instead here I come along just questing away, as soon as I hit lv 74 I get the opportunity. Very lucky. I bet that luck won't stay with Loque, TLPD and Skoll.
Also I noticed my time of finding him, it's 5 mins to the hour which seems to be a common theme with spirit beast spawns. If he had literally just spawned as I entered the area then wow.
Good luck guys! He's lovely!

I finally tamed this guy at 1am PST. That puts it about a 13hr respawn timer since the last time I saw him (dead) at around 12pm PST.
Also to add, during that 13hr window, I seen Skoll once and Gondria twice during that span so, for anybody else looking to add WotLK rares to there stables theres a good chance both of them or at least one of them may be up.
With Arcturis finally tamed, that gives me all the spirit beasts in the game, so happy. Well worth the wait as this one may be the best looking spirit beast in the game.
Good luck!

This is stupid... I'm on the Kel'Thuzad server, been camping for 10 hours, NOTHING. My cache has been emptied and the bear is not cached. Whats up? Broken?
评论来自
JezzebelPop
Nothing to do with your cache as it does not affect when a mob will show up. You might just be unlucky and he's taking a very long time to re-spawn. If you camp by leaving and checking every hour or so you may have missed him to someone else but if you've been sitting solidly then put it down to him not re-spawning yet.
I don't know if Arcturis shares a timer with another mob but the case could be that until that mob is dealt with Arcturis won't show. I don't know the specifics of this kind of thing happening or if it holds true with everything.

Just tamed Arcturis at 9:08PM server time on Maiev, as soon as I logged in. I don't know how long he'd been around before I logged, but this would add credence to the top-of-the-hour +/- 5 min theory. Would be interesting if someone else on Maiev could follow up and check around 9AM and 9PM, so we can verify the 12/24 hour spawner time idea.

OK so I was able to pick up Arcturis late last night at 11:56pm pacific, 2am server on Aegwynn. I started camping him last night at 12pm-3am pacific time no Arcturis, then decided to get some sleep, Resumed at 3pm today and continued camping Arcturis all day without tabbing out the only time i was away was when i needed to move one of my 85s into the area to help protect my hunter, around 10pm i decided to do some of the quest right there at amberpine lodge, since my hunter is level 74, and check in every time i would complete 2or3 quests. Continued this until i killed ursoc the bear god and on my way back npcscan BONKED me, half gave me a heart attack do to the fact I was sleep flying and it was Arcturis. So i do believe this to be on a 24hr respawn like others have posted. I know the other northrend rares that are part of the Northern exposure, which Arcturis is not, are on a 24hrs respawn and i was able to also kill two other non tameable rares in grizzly hills since yesterday which leads me to believe that Arcturis is probally on the same respawn.
1. 24hr respawn
2.he will spawn almost straight down from the amberpine balcony ledge, a few yards up from the water.
3. best place to stand is up the hill a little bit from water prob a 1/4thinch above the er in Amber pine and look down towards the water under were the Amberpine Balcony is you wont be able to miss him even if npc scan doesnt work.
4. also if your toon is lvl74 or lower than 85 bring a lvl 85 and if possible one from each faction to sit with you since it will get alot of traffice and alot of it comes from non hunter Aholes.
MOST IMPORTANT STEP. say a pray and do not forget to thank God afterwards worked for me. Goodluck!

Note: i saw him last night and lost him at 1:41 AM server time

My 2nd day of looking for the fuzzy spirit, checked the spawn point @10:00, 11:00, 12:00, 13:00, missed the 14:00 visit, went to SW, used my hearthstone to get back to AP lodge, was about to fly off to Zul' Drak to continue my questing towards L85 when I said to myself, I'll check it just in case. NPC scan roared, but didn't need it really, the beast was right there, in plain sight. Scooped down, dismounted, and started taming it immediately. Clock showed 15:28 and my health was down to about 10-8%, but I got him. Coordinates are almost dead set on those reported on Arcturis' WOWhead page.
Server is Draenor EU.
I have to say, stumbling upon him was pure luck, but I'm not complaining. :)
Sincere good luck to fellow hunters/huntresses out there trying to tame him, hope you get him!

Just tamed Arcturis at 8:55 pm realm time on Silver Hand server. Looks like there very well might be some truth to the plus or minus 5 minutes to the hour. He appeared literally right in front of me at that time. The entire thing played out in no more than 30 seconds.
I'd been camping him for about 2-3 hours. No competition either.
Good luck and happy hunting all.

After finally switching my beloved Blood Elf Hunter over to my new server, I decided she needed a new pet (having had Vash, my Frostsaber Pridewatcher since lvl 59!). After much debate, and the fact that she's only lvl 82 at the moment and can't get any of the new Spirit Beasts, I decided on Arcturis - he's low enough level, and easy enough to camp, having only one spawn point.
So I parked her there at the spawn point (no coords but I'm sure you all know where it is by now) at around 4 AM, sat there for about an hour, left, and then came back about an hour later, determined I was gonna sit there until he spawned.
And so I did.
At 2:59 PM, almost 10 hours after I started looking for him, I was alt-tabbed onto a Hunter forum and checking to see if my NPC Scan went off every two minutes or so, when my cousin looked over and said "If you're gonna sit there camping that bear you should at least play some Anime or something." I agreed and checked one last time to see if he'd spawned, and lo and behold, there he was! I screamed "Oh my god!" and dropped off my flying mount (nearly killing myself), laid a frost trap down, and tamed him. Now he's my forever companion. <3 Not sure what to call him though - he's my first Spirit Beast! What's better than a bear that can Prowl?

So, here's my little tale about taming Arcturis. I was actually quite lucky, you see!
I went to the spot above Amberpine Lodge, sitting down on top of a tree, overlooking the spot where Arcturis spawns. At approximately 20:30, give or take. There i met two nice alliance players, asking me what i was doing. If i was hunting the spirit beast. I answered yes. We had a little chat and they bid me good luck. It was clear that these were nice people that wouldn't kill or interrupt a tame and told me they'd tip me off if they ever saw it.
(Slightly regained my faith in humanity)
So, sitting there happily, reading a post here on Wowhead in this thread about the 5 minute rule. Thinking to myself, surely I'm not going to sit here for the WHOLE night camping, but i could atlest wait til five minutes till the hour. And so i did.
Closing in on the five minute mark, a horde undead level 85 warlock came along and one shotted me where i sat ontop the tree. He then kept camping my corpse. Luckily, he wasn't very smart so i got up and away into amberpine lodge house where i hid for a short while. Shortly after i ran back to the tree again and i was shocked to see Arcturis prancing proudly about on the ground. My nerves hit me hard like a shock! Without time to look arround for the warlock still looming about, i quickly ran down and hit the tame. My heart was pounding. I literally prayed not to get screwed over by that warlock. Then i hear the sound, DING! Arcturis was mine.
I headed back up to amberpine lodge to meet the two nice allience players again which congratulated me and we had a little moment of joy. There, right above our own flight master i saw the warlock looking at me. He then proceeded to one shot me, again. But this time I really couldn't care less! I just tamed a spirit beast! After i respawned i went down to Howling Fjord, cruising up to the boat with my shiny new spirit beast next to me, where i met the warlock AGAIN!
He kept killing me and corpsecamping me, pretty clearly mad over something it seems. Maybe the fact that i made it, despite his efforts to screw it up?
Out of pure curiosity i went over to horde to ask him " Why all the hate? Have you no respect for a hunter and his dedication? :P " To which i got the response: " Cry me a river: D "
The point is, i just don't understand why people are like this. Do they find joy in behaving like this?
More than anything i feel bad for them. This isn't even nearly as bad as some of the others have done in the examples above me. Like spamming " You loose!" and " /spit" and stuff like that... I don't think they realise what they're doing when they do this.
TLDR;
Was extremely lucky, tamed arcturis after only 30 minutes of camping, 20:55, following the five minute rule, despite level 85 warlock desperately trying to ruin it for me.

After reading how hard they were to get i decided to scout the areas after work... midnight...log on after work go straight to where Arcturis is supposed to be and freakin there he was. Landed and tamed him..1205 am. Then thought well now ill scout Loque.. flew to his spawn point at the lake north of The Makers Perch and holy crap he was just waiting for me. Quickly landed and froze to dismiss the cool new bear and tamed him at 1225 am...after reading the advice of whoever it was that said best chance at top of the hour.. your my hero....

Server: Winterhoof
Time: Around 8:45 server
Started my collection of all these awesome Spirit Beasts back in Wrath, with only getting lucky on Gondria whom I actually like best. Was in the mood to start leveling my Hunter again, got to 83 and decided to park him for a day and try my luck on Archurus again. Sat him at 1:30 server until he popped at about 8 server. Scared the hell out of me as I was dual boxing him while I was raiding. Lovely looking bear. I then decided I had a bit of time until I finished raiding to park him and see if I could get lucky with Skoll. Unfortunately I picked the wrong spot, but a gracious warrior out looking for TLPD and other rares decided he would let me have him and whispered me. I flew over to the SE of Valkryon spot, NPCScan went bananas and I had 2 awesome beasts in about 1 hour. Such a great night, wish you all the best of luck and happy hunting!

Dinged 74 late in the night and flew immediately over to his spawn point. He was my driving force for leveling a hunter (And now that I have him Skoll is my next main driving force), so I was determined to get him before continuing to level. Got too tired to continue the camp at roughly 1am (Realm Time), so I waited for the 5-10 minute buffer around the top of the hours, and logged off for the night.
Logged back in at 9:23am (Realm Time), right over his spawn point, and NPC scan rang off! I am now the proud owner of Arcturis! Very happy to have him, and he's my first spirit beast ever, so that makes him all that more special. Not sure what time he spawned at, as I was not logged in.

Edit: Just so fellow server mates know, I watched him spawn
I'm extremely happy to report that I just picked up this very pretty bear. Giving my luck is horrible, I checked out spawn times and was only finding one verifiable spawn time for my server, So I was prepared for the long haul. But he's mine!
Named her Kallisto since all my pets have a theme leaning towards mythology.
Good luck to fellow hunters!

I turn around to tame him, and an 85 drops down, kills him and then leaves.

Just tamed this beauty on my hunter this morning!
Bit of a story- was questing in Grizzly Hills last night at about 7:30pm realm time, and I saw him... with no one around! I was mad because I was only level 73... but I figured I would get him one day. So I let him be.
I spent some time leveling and got to 74 before bed. I did, however, notice an Orc hunter camping the area shortly after I saw him.... must have just missed him!
Woke up in the morning... logged on (10:40am realm time)... and sure as sugar he was there! Again, with no one around! So I let him walk into a freeze trap, tamed him, and now I have a beautiful bear to add to my collection!
Funny thing is... the same Orc hunter was camping the area again shortly after I tamed him!
What bad luck! :)
Good luck, fellow pet lovers!

Not sure what timer he is on, I did see that only X number of rares can be up at the same time.. Or Blizz has nerfed the time between spawns…
I hit 74 (Anvilmar-US server) yesterday and decided to quest around Amberpine. Went AFK for no more than 5 minutes around when NPCScan went off, by the time I got back he was snagged by another hunter. So I cleared the cache and around 2.5 hours later as I popped out of an Instance…it goes off again, and found him near to the Lodge and tamed.

First time looking sat around for half an hour and went to answer the phone came back and there Arcturis was walking around at 2.05pm server time. Was scared because a mage was sitting around where he spawns obviously waiting for him but i got him first.

It seems that he is the easiest spirit beast to tame. I'm on medium population server, and he's sitting down there by Amberpine Lodge almost every time I fly in. It also helps that he only has one confirmed spawn point and is pretty easy to spot from the top of the hill. I always /who for Hunters in the area to make sure I'm not stepping on anyone's toes when I kill him.
When I decided I wanted him on my hunter, I didn't even have to camp him. Looked him up on wowhead, flew to Amberpine, and there he was. Don't know if it's luck that I see him all the time, or if it's just that all the people that want him on my server (Sentinels) have him already.
This is, by far, my favorite spirit beast skin, maybe even my favorite pet skin. I love that it's a ferocity bear (it would make a nice Dual spec pet for Tenacity *hint hint*). Named mine Leopold. :D

At long last he is mine.
Been camping with my hunter alt for a good week, on and off but spent hours at a time at his spawn point. I could be 85 by now if not for all the camping.
Logged off there last night at about 02.20 am (server time), came back a few minutes ago at 10.19 am and my NPCScan goes off. Almost had a heart attack. Good thing I had created a special bar for taming him with Bartender with just the abilities needed cause I'd have panicked even more :D
So not sure when he spawned cause he was right there in front of me when I logged.
Good luck guys, don't lose hope!

As soon as I hit 74 on my hunter alt, I flew straight to Arc's spawn. Hovering about 60 feet up, I decided I'd tab out to watch some TV.
After reading a few of the comments about the long respawn timer on this guy, I was thinking that I'd be up all night tabbed out waiting for NPCscan to go off. About halfway through the show I was watching, NPCscan goes off. Near soiling myself while tabbing back in hoping that noone was around.
Not a single person in sight. Set my trap for an easy tame :)
GL to everyone trying to tame him :)

I'm the kind of hunter you all hate but I'm so happy. I'd only ever looked for this guy once or twice before. After I tamed Ghostcrawler whom I found while herbing on my DK and dashing to get my Hunter there, I decided to see which of the other Spirit Beasts might be up. Arcturis was there and waiting for me. 0 hours of farming, two spirit beasts in one day--so far.

I can't say for certain regarding Arcturis as I've only camped for him for 6 hours, but the other Spirit Beasts seem to have a steady 10-12 hour respawn rate as far as I know. Though I have heard rumors of Arcturis having a longer then normal timer, I can't verify that myself.
Any help ? =)

Just now tamed him 9:23am the morning server time on burning legion. I did notice a pattern and not sure if it is accurate but once i killed seething hate and 6-8 hours after that Arcturis spawned but I just missed him bu a minute. Than I repeated the same thing last night, killed Seething hate at 12:30 server time and than woke up this morning and 9:23am Arcturis was there and he is now mine. Hope that helps. I also noticed when the other guy tamed Arcturis it made Skoll spawn as well, so I got him yesterday morning as well with Vyragosa and than TLPD spawned exactly 10 hours after i killed Vyragosa. And missed TLPD by minutes =( Hope this helps for all your hunters! Now i only have 2 more spirit beast to go, and I will have them all.

for users of NPCScan: putting a shortcut to your cache folder on your desktop, makes it much faster to clear... the location is different for different Win OS's... Check NPCScan's description on curse or curseforge for details on where to find them

I got bored of waiting for Aotona to spawn, so I flew over to see if Arcturis was up. My friend had tamed him six hours before at 6pm and I knew he had a short spawn timer from reading through the comments on here. I tamed him at 12:06am. Earthen Ring - US.

Still waiting to tame this beauty on Moon Guard.. No luck. I waited and checked every half hour and on the hour from 2AM server time until around 7:30AM server time, no spawns, and the place was dead on both factions (had someone checking for me.)
Here's to hoping I nab him soon, will update when I have him.
*Update*
After about 1.5 days of 'camping' off and on, finally got him tonight at 10:42PM server time on Moon Guard server, spawned on me RIGHT as I was about to log off. Very psyched about him. :) Good luck to my fellow hunters out there!

A small detail for the NPCscan_ users, some versions doesn't have Arcturis added to their custom NPC tab, which simply means that some people wont have NPCscan_ go off even if you fly by and he's spawned. This was the case for me, so I'm just giving you a heads up.
Just make sure you got your eyes peeled, or that you double check that he's added to the addon if you are after this sweet beast.

Have been camping at Amberpine Lodge spawn point literally ALL DAY LONG. Logged off to go to dinner, logged back on at 10:40 server time and there he was standing right in front of me. Quick tame and I am SO VERY HAPPY! I think this supports the 12 hour spawn theory because that's about the time that had lapsed between initial log in and tame. Happy taming all and good luck! He is beautiful!

After me and a guildmate was clock rotating hunting for rare pets for my hunter on Northrend I came to a conclusion.
Killed and tamed are the same thing in this manner since it makes them return to respawn time, etc.
1.
The number one and most important thing to remember,
There can only be 5 rare monsters alive at the same time in Northrend, (note: may exclude Vyragosa and TLPD)
2.
Every rare monster has a supposed spawn timer of 12-24 hours. Lets say a rare beast like Arcturis was killed at
3 pm, he would respawn somewhere between 12-24 hours after that, BUT ONLY (refer to 1.) if there are less than
5 rare monsters alive in northrend. (note: may exclude Vyragosa and TLPD could be 48 hours or more)
3.
XXX Found Aotona and Loque'nahak in the same zone at the same time , skip this partXXX
There will most likely to be only 1 rare monster alive in one zone at most, (has yet to be confirmed,
though everytime I found a rare, there was no other in the same zone at the time)
4.
The spawn order is most likely to be most recently kill will be put last on the respawn order,
saying out of 20 monsters, only 5 can be alive,
so if you kill one, you have to kill atleast atleast 19 rares for the same rare monster to be spawned again.
(a bit confusing to understand but it means it will not be allowed to be spawned until those who was killed before it has spawned)
5.
At 5 max rare spawn, after a rare monster has been killed,
it may take up to an hour for another rare monster to spawn in Northrend but they usually spawn within 10 minutes if available.
6.
Last but not least, remember the respawn times for the rare monsters, if you've killed all rare monsters
then there is absolutely no reason zone around Northrend hoping for a rare spawn , you'd be wasting your hours camping.
If there is a specific monster you want, lets say a spirit beast, you first have to get rid of the current alive rare monsters in Northrend.
As an example, I was looking for Loque and Gondria for my 78 hunter, My guildmate started the search from Howling fjord and I started at
Icecrown.
King Ping found and eliminated.
Hildana the Deathstealer found and eliminated.
Skoll found but since he was above my hunters level, I whispered another hunter to get him.
Terror Spinner found and eliminated.
Arcturis was found but since I already had him on my hunter, I whispered the same hunter as previously mentioned so he could get another spirit beast.
----
5 spawns killed, we just continued and kept while continuing searching zones to find rare monsters.
----
Tukemuth found and eliminated.
Icehorn found and eliminated.
Seething Hate found and eliminated.
Vigdis the War maiden found and eliminated.
At this point I had been looking for rare monsters for only about 2-3 hours, but I decided to take a break for a few hours. but conluding I had killed these
monsters, the spirit beasts I was looking would soon to be up.
When we get back, both Loque and gondria is up, aswell as Aotona, so it was just for my hunter to go and pick them up.
This concludes my guide on hunting rare monsters in Northrend.
It may not be completely correct but is to most part.
YS, Kiyuu.

Read this forum about the "on the hour trick" & decided to give it a go . Just hit 74 so why not try and get the spirit bear everyone loves... 2 am (11 pm server time) I look around and there he is just below me . If you're looking for a good spot to camp to see where he spawns , there is a little rock ledge overlooking the river a little distance from the PvPs up near the cottage . If you look down there below on the river banks thats where I got him , and no one interfered :)

Got him right where the map said, 6:43 PM server time Bronzebeard 11/22/2011. Waited about 3 hours and was literally getting ready to blow the camping off for the night when boom! he was there. NPCScan went off only after I moused over him. Sheer dumb luck, and I'm not complaining... beat out someone else by a split second. Victory is sweet!

On Twisting Nether ( EU) at 17:45 Date: 23/11/2011
I was already camping Magria in MH for 24 hours. Missed him twice :/ so I forced 2 people in my guild so start camping other Spirit Beasts. So 1 guy was placed at Amberpine Lodge for Arcturis and the other at Storm Peaks for Skoll
So there was my yell on Ventrillo: " Your bear is here" ! Tamed him at 17:45 server time. Had to wait 6min on my HS, went to Stable master, placed a pet out and went back to Mount Hyjal for Magria
Was there at 18:00 and Ban'thalos spawned ! Stood on the tree, placed the trap, mount up, straight up and shot him. He was trapped and tamed him easly
Could be coincidence but mayby not.
Ps.: Special thanks to Unmikedeath and Thuglej

I got him! And no crazy amounts of camping required. Logged in at 7am my time which I believe is 5am server time and there he was. :) Had a mini heart attack because I had to switch quickly to BM, but thankfully there were no other hunters around. Too bad that I have to be BM to use him though, my DPS is much higher in MM.

Got mr.Arcturis "second time", we were camping him with my sister, since she didn't have him yet, like I do (I'm 85lvl hunter she is 76lvl) And we camped about from 4:30pm to 2:05am (this just confirms the "5 minutes to the hour) then she got it!
Wasn't as long or as boring camp like my own was since there were two of :D (This was about year or two ago).

Kalecgos 1:01 a.m. (local) - 11:01 (server) = Picked up Arcturis. Flew my paladin over from Sholzar Basin to Grizzly Hills to see if he was there. (Was helping my lvl 77 hunter find KK and Loque.) Got to Amberpine Lodge and like all post have said he was on the slope of the hill. Logged over to my hunter and flew him from River's Heart to AL (really long flight :() and tamed him with ease. The top of the hour thing was once more proven tonight. Great advice and post to those who shared and confirmed that information. Thanks.

Heya all I wanted to confirm that he WILL spawn before 12 hours. I watched in horror the other night as I hit widow venom on the wrong mob. I hit some deer that had been in my way... ( to be fair I was reading here when I heard the blair.
Anyways! At 10:12ish I believe he was spawned and tamed. The next day's morning he spawned at 6am on the dot. Hopefully this is helpful some!

Ello everyone!
Lovely to share, I got my Arcturis! I got very lucky with this one. This and Karoma were the only spirit beasts I DIDN'T have to camp.
I waited for about 30 minutes, I was watching a show when my npc scanner went off. (:
My pretty bear was right in front of me, I threw down a ice trap just for safe measures, and had a smooth tame, no one around, and I didn't take him from anyone!
Pretty happy about this! I got him on 12/19/11, and 11pm. (:
He is very pretty, but not my favorite!
Hope this helps!

Arcturis tamed at 10.04 pm server time (Hellscream, European server), after 7 hours intense waiting non-stop. My first spiritbeast.
I was sitting on top of a rock to the left of the waterfall at his spawn point, looking down hill. It's the small rock next to the big one that looks like it have split in two (behind the little rock i was on, there are mushrooms). This place has a perfect view over the area, the waterfall at the right and his spawn point at left.
I had seen one other alliance hunter, waiting for about two hours. (I am a horde troll hunter, lvl 79)
NPC_scan and freezing trap used. I also tried the macro /tar Arcturis but with no luck (i was too lazy to keep on using it). I placed my laptop on the table, watched a movie (i started out just fishing and flying around looking for other rares, but i got freaked when i saw the alliance hunter, after that i just sat put and waited) and moved an inch every time i was AFK. Suddenly the NPC_scan went of and i jumped up, threw myself on the comp and started my routine:
Freezing trap, done! Target beast, done! Nearly hit the tame button when a F**KING stag got trapped in my freezing trap. Had to set a new one, all this time watching the minimap for other players. My boyfriend searching the area for hunters with his troll hunter (lvl 74). finally i was ready to tame and he came flying at me, all angry. Nearly knocked my of my feet, but the trap worked and i was halfway through the tame, jumping up and down the sofa. And he was finally mine! Yes! Screaming and shaking, i am sitting here, writing to you, to give my advise on how to tame this bad ass bear.
Good luck too all you hunters, hang in there.

So, on the 23rd i decided that, with my 73 hunter, i would begin to collect the spectral pets.
since I had no idea where to begin I checked wowhead (naturally). and lo and behold, too low to tame any of them. So, seeing that Arcturis was not only the lowest, but also a dps spec (vice Tank, for any other bear-type), I thought, goddamn, he's gonna be mine.
Well, after camping for about 15 hours between 2 days (low, i know, considering everyone else who's got him has camped for nearly a week each.) I finally, on 12/15/11, see him, and the kicker: I'm one of two hordies, both hunters, in Grizzly Hills, and the time (server and local) is 12:25 pm, truly, it's meant to be, and now I'm a very proud owner of this ethereal badass. Corny, I know, but he's just so *&^%ing cool! Thank you to everyone that made posts and especially to wowhead for the great site. good luck all, happy hunting, and MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I went to camp him yesterday but a hunter was already there. I told him I'd wait until he was finished. He tamed Arcturis at 2:06am server time. I waited a few hours, and then started waiting... and waiting. And it took me until 11:57am server time. So 9 hours and 51 minutes in between spawns.
I used NPCscan of course, everyone should have this if you're looking to tame these beasts. It can be found on the curse gaming site. I also used a macro to show me how many hunters were in grizzly hills (luckily it was just me most of the time). It was a simple one "/who hunter grizzly hills"
I usually have all my sounds turned off. Luckily NPCscan has a built in function that allows the sound to be unmuted if a rare is found. Of note is that if you are planning to be outside of wow (as I was a lot), go into the main menu (press escape key basically), then go to Options, then sound. There's an option for "Sound in Background". If you turn off all your sounds, still make sure this is selected as it will allow you to hear the sound NPCscan plays to notify you of Arcturis.
Happy hunting all :) Remember persistence pays off!
Also remember, in order to tame him, you need to have the last talent in the Beast Mastery tree, you have to be at least level 74 (as that's Arcuris' level), and you have to have no active pet (i.e. your pet dismissed) and an open slot for a pet to be tamed.

Was flying around Sholazar Basin to try and find Loque.. turns out I found King Krus instead.. I spotted a different hunter that I had seen flying around looking for him for days, so I left him alone and went to find Gondria. Needless to say, I couldn't find her after a few fly bys, so I went over to Grizzly Hills to test my luck, and surely. There this beauty was, tamed at 12:31 pm server time today :3

I am looking for any definitive proof on any second spawn point for Arcturis.

Finally got him (: I had been checking periodically for a few weeks, and was sitting at his spawn point feeling frustrated when I said out loud, "I wish this bear would just spawn already." Ironically, right after that he spawned and I got him :) Then I proceeded to check for Loque and got him as well, minutes after my previous tame. Pretty good day.
Would just like to say that all of the information provided on here about the spawn times of most of the Northrend spirit beasts has proven to be fairly accurate in my experiences.
Good luck to all :)

Tamed on Rexxar at 5:46 est today. Took me a few seconds to remember how to use my computer once he spawned. =D Started camping at 6pm est yesterday. Took about 24 hours to spawn. Also had friends in the area killing other spawns. During that time Putridous was killed twice, Aotona was killed once, and Loque was tamed once, Vyragosa killed once as well, Syreian the bonecarver was killed at least once.

I got mine today... while I'm lvling. I arrived at ally base (with my dwarf hunter) but when I spot the bear, a problem: I was lvl 73 and 1/2.
I did more quests and as soon as I became lvl 74, a simple tame-ice trap process!
Tamed @Gurubashi... at 8h32 (server time). I'm brazilian and almoust all brazilians at server migred last 6/dec (whem Blizz created brazilians server)... so Gurubashi population today is "low".
It's a beautiful bear with FEROCITY build (because is as SPIRIT BEAST) most bears are TENACITY.

Now I just tamed this pet today as well as Skoll, this is really easy in Cataclysm now. This because there is almost nobody around in northrend these days. I read up here on wowhead and found out most people seen Arcturis spawn daily between 21:30 and 22:00, so i went to the place to be and there he was at 21:48!
Skoll was even easier, I never thought I would have the honor to meet him, so went to Brunnhildar with the thought ''yeah right, like he is gonna be there'' and there he was! this was around 15:30 the same day I tamed Arcturis! :)
Edit: Caught Gondria aswell now at 00:45am, same day as the other 2 :) Server is Doomhammer :)

I really wanted this pet for my Dwarf hunter with strong desire, So I went to GH immediately at 74 to watch for him. I didn't succeed until I was level 76.
Just as I was about to give up and start questing in Sholazar Basin, I decided to fly to Grizzly Hills and try one last time. He was waiting for me, and a minute later was mine. This was at approximately 9:20 PM on Farstriders.
He is bright white and fairly obvious to see. I stood in my ice trap so when he attacked he was frozen. Good thing, because he hits rather hard.

Wow, I guess, I must be super lucky:
I only waited for like 1 hour at the spawn location and checked my mail, when I checked wow, and suddenly, there he was. Had to get rid of one of my old pets (pet spots where full), I was the only one around, tamed him. Done.
Tamed him on Uldaman-US, around 10pm German time.

Easiest way I've found to tame this guy and others rares. You have to not care about rested bonus. Don't bother camping area or checking every hour, just play the game.
THEN when you log for the day, log out at their spawn spot. When you wake up go check to see if they are there, if not go to work or school, whatever. Check again when you got some play time, just rinse and repeat, you'll get the tame with the least time lost actually playing the game.
Hope this helps
Just for the record, got Arcticus the first morning after logging on in the morning to check. This is MUCH harder to do if their spawn area is very large.

Arcturis spawned exactly at 10:14pm server time on Tichondrius-US today. While I know speculation on the +/- 5 minutes on the hour is becoming a broad belief; it definitely wasn't true for me tonight.
Had a number of Hunters come by (enemies and allies -- enemies of course one-shot killed me as they were all 85 and my Hunter is only 77). I was quite pleased with the allied Hunter community of the server as people came by, wished me luck and went elsewhere to another camp. We stayed in contact and chatted with each other throughout the day, too! It vaguely reminded me of the EverQuest player community :)

Appears to have a MINIMUM of a 12 hour cooldown, he could spawn anywhere from on the 12 hour mark or hours later, just comes down to luck and how devoted you are.
Also, on
Wowpedia,
they state that Arcturis' Respawn Timer DOES reset when WoW is down for maintenance/server restarts.

After 1 WHOLE day of camping the spawn spot on my Goblin hunter (with a few well wishes from fellow Hordies passing by,) I decided to wake up at 5 am est (server time: Uldaman) to just "See" if he was there because of 2 reasons: a) most ppl on my server would be in bed and b) if he did in fact spawn hardly anyone would be there to kill him or tame him before i did. As soon as I logged in I heard NPC_Scan sing its wonderful, beautiful song. I was excited! I set down my frost trap and began the tame! I am the proud new owner of "Bazinga"
Word of advice, I would tame him in the morning just cause of the two reasons.

Just reached level 73, and went right away to Amberpine to work on quest lines. Checked when I got there to try to find Arcturis' spawn location--and there he was, about 9pm! VERY exciting for me to see him out in the open like that. He's always been the pet I most wanted to have. Before I could get close, just to admire him, an Orc tamed him. So, I went and worked on the quests until I got to level 74, then spent the night at the inn at Amberpine. Woke up the next morning at 7am, figuring 10 hours was too soon for Arcturis to have re-spawned, but--there he was again! No one else around; tamed him; VERY HAPPY.
Hope all of you also have good luck and great days.

Here's another sad tale to add to the list: He spawned at about 10:50p on Hyjal server. I had been waiting there on my Nelf Hunter for 6 hours (watching tv and movies) and when I looked over, there he was; blue and beautiful and walking by the river. My heart leapt up and I rushed down the hill, pet dismissed, ready to tame. An 85 draenei hunter named Icecream (with wacky accents) had just landed on their drake, but surely, having seen a petless hunter ON THE SAME SIDE they would be cool and let me get the tame I had clearly been waiting for. With my heart pounding in my chest I freeze-trapped him and hit tame... The draenei one-shot the bear.
I couldn't believe my eyes.
I immediately whispered him with 'why would you do that?' The response, 'I was going to tame him and you froze him.'
'I've been waiting in this spot for 6 hours!'
'Life's tuff?'
Alot more conversation, but you don't need the whole play by play. Yes it's sad, but strangely it's made my resolve even stronger.
Logged on the following morning to find him being tamed by a worgen hunter at 8:40. Asked him how long he had been up and he said about a minute. So at least I can put to rest the theory that he has a minimum of 12 hours before he respawns. This respawn was just 10 minutes shy of 10 hours later.
I have been camping him an additional 10 hours at this point but he hasn't repopped yet.
To everyone else who has Arcturis as a pet, cherish him. lol

So mush for the top of the hour theory I camp there for like 6 hours looking to my second screen (I have two monitors on my PC) from time to time while I was working but paying attention at the top of the hour I saw two hunters come and go jeje I was standing right at the spawn spot ( to my knoledge there is no other place confirm ) it was close to 5pm server time and I was realy looking and I was getting ready to quit, at 5:10pm I turn away from my screen 4 minutes later at 5:14 I look and my MPCScan went off I tag him hit Tame Beast and it was mine I was so happy I'm 85 so he did not do any dammage I name him Poohbear.
Maybe on some servers spawn 5 minnutes before or after the hour but in my server was 14 after the hour so be on the look out never give up and happy huntting !

Server: Darkspear (alliance)
Server Population: High
Server time: 5:05pm
UTC Time: 5:05pm MST (UTC -0700), 4:05pm PST (-0800), 7:05pm EST (UTC -0500)
The spawn point per wowhead is correct. I have been checking for Spirit Beasts in Scholozar Basin, Zul'Drak and Grizzly Hills for about 8 days. Today I stopped over Arcturis' spawn point at 1:54pm MST (same as server time for me), waited until 2:17pm MST, and then began queuing for BG's with about 5 minutes of watching for his spawn between rounds.
To be honest, I didn't really believe my eyes at first when I saw him spawn right below me.
A few tips:
If you're on a high pop server like mine, be patient and persistent. A lot of people aren't willing to wait as long as it takes to stalk a rare spawn. I saw about 6 hunters of both factions and no one else waited more than five minutes.
Make sure you have dismissed your pet and that you have an open slot available for your spirit beast.
DO NOT aggro him by shooting him, even with auto shot, if you are max level. You will one-shot the poor thing, and then nobody wins.
I had never tamed anything like Arcturis before. I threw my freezing trap out about halfway between myself and Arcturis, then began taming him. He pounced right over it and landed on top of me. As a max level toon he barely did any damage to me, but if you are a level-appropriate hunter seeking to tame Arcturis, I imagine it would hurt a wee bit. Do yourself a favor and
put your freezing trap directly at your feet
.
The most important tip I have to offer is don't give up. Like anything on wow (or in life) that's worth having, sometimes it takes effort and patience.

Tamed at around 10:18 PST 2Mar2012 on Tanaris server. I camped there at the top of the hill for about 2.5 hours before he appeared, and man did my heart jump when he finally did! So many other hunters passed by as I camped.. I thank all of you for being courteous to leave and not steal my tame. The favor will not be forgotten by this happy hunter :)

Hey fellow hunters.
Tamed him today, 3/16/12 at 0535 Pacific on Perenolde. My dwarf flew down from the Inn to his spawning spot, sighed when I didn't see him, turned a 180 and used one hand to close my gaping mouth while the other began pushing buttons on the keyboard. A few seconds later he was mine all mine! A second after that, a Tauren Pally landed next to me, made a rude gesture, and departed. I wasn't flagged for pvp. Not sure what his problem is, but as I look at my new pet, I find that I don't much care. I found the comments you all have made to be very helpful, thanks to you and Wowhead I have a new best friend. To those who haven't tamed one yet, keep looking and best of luck.

i found this beaty at 9:30 on shadow council
though my story is not about my tame, though i do have a hunter i am not fond of this spirit beast, and dont want him.
but my x BF was farming for weeks. as i was flying ot dal i thought " im gonna look for the bear!"
and low and behold there he was. however, my x was gone out for supper, i hit him with my weapon and ran around, keeping him hidden in a bush for an hour till he got home and was able to tame it.
this is my third spirit beast i accidentally bumped into.

Ok, so I just tamed this guy after a couple months of hardcore going after it.. a couple.. months.. This could have been a couple days, or even a couple hours, but my main issue was with same-faction hunters killing it while I was trying to tame it. Probably because they were mad that I got to it first.. wtf guys? The mentality behind that is "since I can't have it, neither can you ".
Hunters, if some one presses the tame button before you, let it go. They earned it. Every hunter who camps there is after the same thing you are, and killing him doesn't do anybody any good.
two points to this post:
-Arcturis still spawns - he is still obtainable.
-Hunters, grow up and stop being babies about some one getting to him before you.

Camped for 7 hours for this beauty, quite a tale to it.
So I log on yesterday and decide its about time I got myself a decent hunter pet, and being level 77 I felt Arcturis was the one for me (loque being majorly overcamped). So at about 2.55 server time on Hellscream I fly over and park myself right in the middle of the blue rectangle on NPCscan (about the 'ber' part of amberhill on the map). I go about my day, occasionally checking back. After a couple hours, I notice an ally mage hanging around. Obviously this mage is there to kill it, in blatant disregard for the fact I'm clearly camping it. The mage was level 85, so in the end a couple of my guildys were nice enough to come through and challenge the mage to duels. Mage lost, mage left. The same thing happened about four or five times, with players from both factions wanting to kill Arcrturis. In the end one of my guild members just stood and camped with me (people can be so nice). It was approaching half 9, server time, and I was getting really angsty because I had to go out, and my guildy had finally left me, when BAM! There he was. No problems taming, I have a few heirlooms but no really special armour I just cast tame and waited it out. He really is a beauty, but I havent noticed his 'frost bite ability in my spell book :/
Tips:
Be patient. This is the only spawn point, if you camp here he will appear eventually. This is also sometimes the only way to 'beat' other players - most wanting a kill leave after less than an hour.
Do not leave - you will kick yourself when you come back to see some hunter/mage jumping about with their new pet/pelt.
Ask for help. If you have some nice friends or guildys willing to take hour shifts, or keep you company or just help you tame, the time goes much quicker
Be courteous - if somebody else is there first, its theirs. You dont know how long they've been there, and they may return the favour one day (a fellow hunter who came by me last night agreed Arcturis was mine, and in return I am helping him camp Gondria tonight).
The 'top of the hour' thing didnt work for me, but I have noticed a trend of spawn times between 9 and 10 pm server time.
Good luck and happy hunting!

what a turn of events! fly back to his spawn site to take my screenshot to show you guys, and there he is again! about 12 server time on hellscream. So I call my guild, nobody online in a hunter so we wake one of the guys up and get his password, log him and fly over to realise he isn't specc'd for BM! So I feel silly.. But then a guy who came by when I was camping last night turns up and we help him get it :) feel good...

figured i'd throw in my two cents on this guy...
Shimlo - Alliance - Turalyon US
just got him about 7-8 minutes ago,had been camping this guy the whole night (started at around midnight up until his time of taming (7:05 AM). Seems like it's pretty safe to say he spawns around the hour mark if he's going to show up.
i had just gone north to check and see if Gondria had spawned, she had, and i quickly tamed her.
flew west to Sholazar to check on loque and krush, but no dice...
came back to grizzly hills to log out, and after giving it about 5 minutes, my npcscan went off and he was right one top of me.
i got lucky with these two awesome pets, but it's entirely do-able, good luck to all you hunters out there still trying.

Thought maybe I had missed him and then as I was about to log off before I went into work "poof" there he was. I was excited cus he was my 6th spirit beast to tame this weekend. I have 7 of the 9 and only need the two tigers from Hyjal. Good luck to all you other hunters, I wish you happy hunting.

6/04/2012 Patch 4.3.3
Saw this magnificent Spirit Beast at around 6.25pm server time on the 5/04/2012 (Grim Batol EU) and i was just about to tame and Horde 85 came down and killed it. As you can imagine i was completed gutted. I am/was level 76 at the time.
I'm sure some of you devoted Hunters out there feel my pain!
After looking up Arcturis i found out that he was roughly 1-12 hour respawn timer (Not confirmed, i understand that people have had up to a 70hour wait for this guy), at least a minimum of 6 hours hopefully. This appealed to my scientific brain and i decided to wait
at least
6 hours until i went to bed. I checked back every hour until around midnight and no luck. Many hunters came and went and i stuck to it but it was looking bleak. I knew i was up for at least another 4-5 hours just to see as my curiosity got the better of me.
Alas it came to 5pm server time and i was beginning to lose hope, so i set my laptop aside so i could camp the hell out of that thing until 6am. He finally appeared at 5:35am Server time, luckily nobody else was around an i nabbed him.
JUST REMEMBER!
Turn your 'Track Beasts' on, he will appear on your minimap as a neutral mob.
If you do have the NPC Scanner addon, clear your cache and it did go off for me when he appeared.
Don't panic! If you're below 85 like i was i think this guy could absolutely face roll me. I tamed using a trap and i highly recommend this if you don't want to become Spirit Beast lunch.
Watch out for Hordies/Alliance which might be there just to spite you and kill it, which is lame.
Good luck and remember to not go crazy over camping, go and do some dailies and come back every hour or so. You could even try asking on general to see if anybody has seen him (if your server is half nice they won't lie and kill him to spite). You'll be very happy after the tame, he's well worth it!

Just picked him up on my 74 Hunter.
Server: Blackrock US
Time Started to Camp Spawn: 17:00 Server Time,14:00 Local Time
Time Spotted and Tamed: 00:11 Server, 21:11 pm local time
Total Time Elapsed from Start of Camp to Tame: 7 hours, 11 minutes.
Spawn Location: Same as everyone else. No new spawn locations have been discovered as far as I can tell.
Arcturis is still a popular rare spawn for many hunters. It can be the first spirit beast for many new and old hunters to tame, due to his extremely easy to find spawn location. I originally came out to camp his spawn location at 4pm server time, however there was a hunter leaving his spawn location after having just tamed him. As such, I went and quested for a bit. An hour later, since I had other things I wanted to do, I decided to park my hunter at his spawn location and wait while I worked, so I pulled the game up on my second monitor while I did schoolwork. A couple hours later, I checked here to find out his spawn timer, to be dismayed to find out that it could be between 3-6 and 12+ hour spawn time. Since he hadn't spawned after four hours of camping him, I was starting to believe that it was 12+ hours. However, since I had nothing better to do while I worked, I continued to leave my hunter parked there.
A total of seven hours passed, and I was about to close WoW to put on a movie and then go to sleep when Arcturis spawned. I don't know if it's concrete proof, because I could have been wrong about the hunter who I saw leaving with Arcturis, but I think his spawn timer is actually pretty short compared to what I've heard for the other Spirit Beasts.

I just logged in and found this bad boy wandering in front of me!<3
Earlier today I was lucky enough to find Gondria, and now Arcturis! What luck! haha! :]
Basically, what you need to do, especially if there aren't many other hunters around (you can check this by typing /who), is camp beside the 1 spawn point he has, and keep the window open while you're doing other things. He's an ordinary tame, just set a freeze trap and go for it. He's non aggressive, which makes him harder to spot on the mini map. Hover over it every now and then and the screen will pop up and you can have a look to see if hes wandering about. (this is only possible with windows 7, so if you don't have a way of doing that, just check every now and then.) I logged in after camping for about an hour previous, after a dc, and there he was - In all his glory-! I wasn't using npc scanner or any macros. Just simply looking every now and then. It isn't hard, as long as you are patient and want him badly enough. <3
Good luck fellow hunters!

Apparently I'm having a very good hunter day. I just tamed Gondria 40 minutes ago. I flew down to see if Arcturis was there, no such luck so I log for a minute and come back. I log in, and, off goes my Silver Dragon. I freeze trap. I tame. All the time thinking "this is not happening"! Well, it was happening, because now I have a shiny new bear.

Camped the area for two days on and off. First I focused on the 5 min of the hour. Then I just decided to sit. I saw several hunters come and go. (I wish you all luck!) The first day (two days ago) I left for a battle ground and came back at 12:45am server time to see his corpse. Not a happy feeling. I stuck around though and in the wee hours of the morning about 1:33 am server time I tamed him and "all his glory". He is magnificent!.[

I tamed him a while back but had much help with other farming guildies who where out scouting daily for it, and when it did spawn a guildy summoned me to the location and I tamed it :D Another time I was farming on another toon and saw the bear in the same spawn location. So, to me, he was the last spirit beast I tamed due to the fact everyone else was camping this spirit beast and to me the others where way easier because they had more spawn points and I happened to find half of them farming for other crap XD lol.

Tamed at 6:07 server time on lightninghoof. Just remember that there can only be so many rare spawns alive at one time in Northrend, ( I believe the number is 5) for the previous two hours before I tamed him I went around to the other zones and killed off the other rare spawns i found in different zones. Came back to Grizzly Hills and he was waiting for me. Good luck Hunters !

My story-
After camping the spot for a little more then 10 hours I decide to do a pvp battleground while waiting. When I come back npcscan goes off and I do a quick tame at about 9:50 server time. Then 3 days later I am questing in the area when I just so happen to see him at his spawning point. I quickly do a /who but find no hunters in the area so I take a flightpath to dalaran and do a /who and one hunter shows up. I quickly whisper the hunter asking if he was a BM hunter and if he had Arcturis yet. He was and he didnt have arcturis so We both took a flight path to the lodge and see he is still there. The guy I found in dalaran quickly tames arcturis and thanks me. Sorry for nothing exciting or action packed but it is truthful. Like other posts have said DONT KILL IT. I ask that whether you are a hunter or not please go out of your way to find a hunter and bring them to arcturis if you see him. I am on the server Garrosh Alliance.

I was looking up a few rares on here when he caught my eye... a quick flight across from Dalaran and low and behold he was sitting there waiting for me... also managed to slay Grocklar on the way as a nice extra bonus... good day all round for rare hunting :o)

Oh yeah BABY! Just finished taming my first bear pet ever, and he's a spirit beast to boot! After a little over 16 hours of impatiently swapping between camping and re-logging to check in every 30-45 minutes, NPCScan finally alarmed. I got excited as usual (I seem to with nearly every tame) and I woke up fast. My bed had been calling my name for hours, but I fought it! haha ;) I nervously dropped a trap in front of me, thew out a concussion shot and he pounced on me. I hit tame and as soon as it finished, he was mine. It ended up being a very easy tame and I'm thinking I'm silly for getting so worked up. Anyway, I spotted him at 31, 55, 0710 am, realm time on Arathor.
Best of luck to everyone.
Peace!

Hello fellow hunters! I wasnt too keen on getting Arcturis, since I was trying for Loque'nahak for near 9hrs by this time, but bagged him on
Monday June 18th 2012 at 9:31pm server time
at coordinates
30.3, 55.9
. NPCscan worked like a charm and he was right where the one designated spot had him. Took 15 sec altogether and he was mine. Nearly invisible in spirit walk mode. It was a little later and no one else seemed to be on. Shortly after, at precisely 9:56pm server time, I got what I was looking for and tamed my very own Loque'nahak. Keep it up! You will succeed! Good luck and happy hunting!

Was on at 7:00 a.m. and tamed this beautiful bear not 15 minutes after I tamed Karoma!. He was RIGHT next to the cliff near the water. LOL this has just been my week I tamed Loque and Skoll yesterday after one day of searching and Karoma and Arcturis today plus Ive had Gondria for awhile. My advice is to NOT camp one spot even with Arcturis (with him fly around above north of the lodge for a bit since he wanders if given a minute), fly around between the areas and don't do it for long periods look for maybe a 1/2 hour at a time in-between queues or something. Best time is 6-9 a.m. that is when I have tamed every one of them. I tamed them solo without anything but my basic beast tracking and my flying mount and of course the other peoples comments on wowhead lol.

Acturis was an odd one to tame. I previously had tamed Loque'nahak ==> A marvelous Spirit Beast<== And I was venturing throughout Grizzly Hills, I saw Arcturis and knew he was a Rare, I went to go tame it and a hunter of my same faction started to beg me not to tame it, as he had been waiting for hours on end to grab it. So I let him tame and was quite happy about my good deed :D
Meanwhile, I stayed and waited for another spawn, I knew the spawn times was between 10-12 hours. Another hunter of the same faction came up to me and started being mean, stating "It's going to suck when I tame Arcturis right in front of you!" then started making rude gestures and saying mean comments, hoping to 'scare' me or 'annoy' me away. I don't leave that easily.
She then asked me when the last tame was, well, I knew it, and she didn't. Therefore I was one step ahead. I told her that I did not know, my only reasoning for being such a jerk was because of how rude she was being to me. So she sat, and taunted me, and continued to be rude to me. After 6 hours, she gave up and left for a Battleground, but firmly stated if he popped up, I was not to tame it.
Whatever, right? And what-do-you-know! He popped up. She was still in the Battleground and I tamed. I then sat there, with Arcturis until she came back. I got yelled at, and I got called the rudest things you could say to someone, Temper, Temper, I didn't rub it in her face, I just wanted to state fact that being rude will get you nowhere. I then took off as she whispered me rude things, and ignoring her seemed to get her heated as she spammed me on other characters. Whatever, she was a good edition to my Ignore List. And boy did she fill it up! 10 Characters all being one person.

WOOHOO! I got him on the Saufang server @ 2.15pm and he was exactly at the spot. My heart is still thumping LOL
FYI
I was getting a little pissed off because players who already got Arcturis would come past and let him out and made NPCScan go off.
Please don't do that to anyone on purpose, it's not nice.
Thank you to everyone who has made comments here, I read most of them and it helped LOTS.

Spawned: Hellscream @ 3:35p (31, 56)
Who: Korrak
Lvl: 83
I'd been camping him for a couple hours, when he spawned right where everyone said he would. Started the tame, got 1/4 way through it, and an 85 hunter showed up and one-shot him. Said "if he couldn't have it, I couldn't either."
People, I know waiting on rare spawns suck, but don't be that guy.
Special Note: I left GH and flew to Storm Peaks to tame Skoll. Ended up running into the TLPD instead. So I'd like to thank the hunter that drove me away for my beautiful new

Hey guys i just caught this pretty guy in grizzly hills spawn spot after about 2 hours of camping him by coordinates 31.0.55 at 12.50 am server time
what can i say very nice pet.
oh and because there are so many stags that spawn there two i recommend using this macro it really did the trick and locayed him instanntly as he spawned:
/cleartarget
/target Arcturis
/stopmacro
/script PlaySound("RaidWarning")
/run RaidNotice_AddMessage(RaidBossEmoteFrame,"THERE HE IS !", ChatTypeInfo)

I just tamed him on Farstriders at 9:30 PM server time. If you are Alliance you can just park at Amberpine, and log in now and then to check for him. He spawns very near there. That's what I did today. I logged out and in about 4 times, fourth one he was there and seconds later was all mine.

Tamed at approx. 12:45 server time on Tanaris-US. He was spawned right on the "ber" in Amberpine on the map, just like a comment on here said. The coords are round 30.56 for a coordinate map addon. Good luck on getting yours, he sure is a beauty!

Yesterday about 6:00 am game time i decided i was going to see if any spirit beasts decided to spawn whent to Skoll (nothing) decided to go check Ban'thalos in Mount Hyjal(no luck again) then i went to my new main pet Arcturis and to my surprise (it toke about a half hour to go to Hyjal and back to grizzly) Arcturis was spawn not thinking at the time i jumped down and dismissed my pet to notice my pet slots were full so i flew to dal and stabled a pet and flew back and saw a DK running at him paniced and yelled DONT DO IT i guess he saw it and stoped for a sec i flew down (so i didnt die from the fall down of course) and he asked how bad i wanted the bear i said id give him all my gear and my money, he said lol i dont want your gear its for a hunter so give me the money.... i cryed a little cause it was 250k but it was worth it.

READ THIS:
Camping Arcturis is a long affair, and instead of just sitting there waiting for him to spawn, do something useful! I mean something you can do while you are at your com! I personally prefer playing the guitar and piano, and when I camp a spirit beast or a mount i usually wait for more than just 2 hours!
I guess watching TV or something is good as well, but I'd reccomend using your time better.
I am camping Arcturis right now, hoping to get him, but while I do that I am learning how to play Canon rock.
Good hunting!

Hit lvl 73, so I was flying into Amberpine Lodge to start questing in Grizzly Hills and to my suprise I see this sexy looking spirit bear by the river. So at 7:48 pm server time on US-Lethon I got my crack at this bad boy. I killed it b/c I'm a warrior and can't tame animals....good luck with your farming!

To be honest my tame was very quick indeed.
I had read up on all the spirit beasts and found that this was the lowest lv one. My hunter was only level 41 so I levelled him to 73 in a few days.I knew that when I turned 74 I could just go to the spawn point and tame him if he was there. I finished the quests ad flew straight to the point on my map using NpcScan Overlay and I waited. On another comment i read that he spawns around 5 to and 5 past the hour. Luckily enough it was twenty to ten in the morning (realm time) so I hanged around for about 6 mins when npc scan went off! Arcturis spawned rght in front of me :D I layed down my trap and hit tame and in no time at all he was mine :D
I tamed him at 10:57 Realm Time

Waited all day he appeared at about 2310 server time on Fenris (US). Had waited all day for him. Level 80 hunter, tamed him quickly taking a little bit of damage from him, but was well worth it. Got him at 30.9/56.1

I have to say, all this information was bang on. I wasn't farming at all, i just went down to Grizzly Hills at about 10 and tabbed off to do other stuff and at 2 minutes to 12 it spawned.
Tips:
I saw it 2 times around midnight so the 24 hour theory is probably correct.
If you are going to sit there then make sure you change your camera view every 10 minutes or 2 as i only saw the edge of him at the side of my screen!

I got Arcturis about 12 hours after maintenance Tue evening about 10 pm my time (I'm in Alaska). Not only was he up but all the other Spirit Beasts were up as well (I checked all of them because I nabbed Skoll and Gondria the same night, would have gone for Loque as well but I had him from an earlier nab).

Hey, I just wanted to add my info for hunters looking for this pet. On one of the sites I poured over looking for a spawn timer, place of spawn..etc. Someone said 21 hours. Whoever did? Thanks. I'll pass that on as fact. Not only have I gotten my bear from that piece of knowledge, I shared this info with the three campers that were there when I arrived finally and they all got theirs also with some patience.
- Spawns exactly where the map says. He wanders a few feet up and down that hill, in the middle, but stays on the slope.
-
21 hour spawn timer!
(cant stress this enough, don't kill yourself camping if you know when he was last tamed/killed)
-
Important:
The timer resets with server maintenance. Which means, though he was tamed at 1am, when servers went down at 7am it changed the respawn time from 10pm to 4am (this is when I got mine) sooo if you don't know when it was last killed and don't want to wait? wait for maintenance day and you'll have an exact spawn time ready.
- You do not have to have aggro to tame it. (incase you didn't know) which means if you have problems, bring a tank along to hold aggro for you. No tank? stand back as far as you can, drop your freeze trap before you.. wait till he wanders back into your range and press tame. He'll run at you, dun move! the trap will get him and before he breaks out you'll have your bear. If the trap doesn't work, or misses (for whatever reason) feign death, try again.
- There is only one spawn point, its right where the map says.
-His level is 74 (I kept reading people saying they've seen him at 75, we have yet to see it.) This means you need to be level 74+ (I am level 74 :D )
Good Luck! And.. hey.. this guy isn't going anywhere, there is no need to steal it, or eff someone over to get it. Being respectful and helpful to the other campers is good Karma. <3

Just got this guy randomly right as I nabbed the fp from Grizzly Hills to Dalaran. Exited quickly as I could and hopped back on, waited until I landed in Zul'Farrak and turned back around. Luckily he was still there, just wandering up and down the hill.
I got Loque'nahak about a week ago after camping for MONTHS so after getting Loque and this guy within a week of eachother made my day :)

Incredibly, a couple of days after I heard about this pet, I decided to sit and watch the spot Arcturis spawns at, and less than 10 minutes later, he did! I damn near had a heart attack, but I was the only one there and I Tamed him asap. He spawned at 6.25am on the EU Wildhammer server.

Tamed 3/15/10 on US Blackwater Raiders at 6:52 am server time. I have seen his corpse twice before in the early morning.
While flying through Grizzly Hills to complete an Argent Tourny daily, I decided to cruise over Amber Pine Lodge to check on ol' Arcty. My heart nearly stopped when I saw him, then began racing; my hands shook! No other players around, dropped a trap and began taming.
While taming, I turned on capslock and threw a minor conniption fit in gchat. :)
Named him Chillpaw.
Go get him!

Single confirmed spawn point, at roughly 31-55, on hill slop near rivers edge just north of flight platform in Amberpine Lodge.
Spawn timer not confirmed, yet reports of 8-48hours between spawns have been reported.
I tamed on STONEMAUL and approx 1:30 AM server time after maybe 45 minutes of camping, simple freeze trap, concussive shot, tame, only got hit by his pounce, so be sure to set your trap at your own feet and do not move.

Tamed him on the server Atiesh at 1:20 pm server time. Was on my hunter and a very nice person named Shannie announced him, joined up with me and waited for me to get there. It really made my day as he's the one I wanted to tame the most and hadn't had any luck thus far. It's people like Shannie that make the game a nice escape to hang out in.

I just tamed this beast right where they said he'd be. I was waiting around but getting bummed out reading some comments that said he spawns around 2-3am, seeing how's it was 9am...I flew around looking for the other spirit beasts, came back through and BAM! there he was! I tamed him around 9:30am. P.S. He hits hard for a 75 rare and pounced right past my trap. I had to feign death and try again. I laid the trap and tried again. Got him that time!

I hope Blizz makes it less late because it's very inconvenient to wait 12 hours for such a cool beast to spawn,i think 6 to 8 hours is better but thats my opinion.
