After reading another post where a fellow CH found and tamed two GSP\"s, And seeing the one at Cnet Starport. It reminded me of the GSP's I had seen while placing Flora harvs on Talus. I decided to go there yesterday and see how I would fare at aquiring one of my own.
My lucky star must have been shining as just as I set foot on Talus, Hoss sent me a tell to ask if I had tamed a GSP yet. When I said no He gave me a general area where he felt I would have the best success at aquiring one.
I mounted my bike and headed in that direction, and once I arrived at the general area he had mentioned I switched to walking and tabbing each dot that appeared on my radar. To my amazement, One of the very first lairs I came to was a GSP lair. It had four adult GSP,s lazing about right at the lair.
As soon as I arrived tho, one started walking away from the lair. Being I was hunting unbuffed as I usually do. I managed to single the big cats out and dispatch them. I then tapped the lair twice and waited.
About that time Hoss contacted me again and I filled him in on how I was progressing. He quickly offered a couple pointers that I was not aware of, and I quickly changed my normal tactics of the way I had been milking a lair, which is to kill the guards, tap the lair, kill the next spawn, tap the lair to half health, kill the next spawn, and then kill the lair. This of course was learned from many, many hours of hunting creature resources and grinding XP.
Switching to the \"proper\" tactics for aquiring rare pets and not creature resources. I was able to get two GSP's without killing another cat. Which greatly pleased me. So thank you Hoss, for taking the time, and sharing your knowlege with me to make me a better MCH, and being a good friend thats willing to share his \"special\" knowlege with a fellow ch.
Being the GSP's are only lvl 25, I'll always be able to have them out as a pair. Unlike my Gurrecks, where as I can only have one at a time out now that they have matured.
