Heh, I thought you were alliance - in which case, you wouldn't need
one anyway ;-) If not, then I'm jealous lol, I sure can't track one
down, I think it'll come to logging an alliance alt and bribing one to
let me kill him...

Thanks, lucky one indeed for me :-) First high lvl rare I've seen in
Cataclysm, there's millions in the 1-60 zones but the lvl 80+ ones are
usually well hunted (my NPC Scan did go off while I was sitting in Org
one day but wowheading it told me the mob was way over in Hyjal and
would be safe to be dead by the time I got there lol)

Yeah likewise, seems that theory works out fairly well then,
especially now I've actually seen one spawn dead on the hour. I'm
still missing three in Northrend, will have to go back and look for
them now it's likely to be far less camped - I certainly found the
Outland rares much easier once everyone movedinto Northrend, and
likely it'll be the same for Northrend now.
