Best advice I can give. Go make a new char on a low pop RP or PVPVP server.

This was the first thing I did today (as it worked a treat way back when for the minfernal). Got to the globe in Ironforge and 5 minutes later I MISSED it because I was reading this thread! :roll: :lol: Noted the time and then went off to another server to try again. I was the only one there and it popped after 10 minutes waiting. Easy! :D

Hi,

Just got it on one of the Oceanic servers (10:30AM time here in the West Coast) and I did not even have the Key Bind set up at all yet ... and luckily there was no one else there, so I was able to right click on it a couple of times and got the pet.

No biggie really ... but you do not want to be competing with 2, 3 or 4 other folks, since it is obvious when someone has the keys setup and you won't be fast enough ... they go right for the tree ... on my Draka server, there were 3 goons in the tree!

KEY BINDING FIGHT!!!!!!!

Nobody was there
Ditto.

Admit was Sunday morning, but that was just 2nd day of Winter Veil. Had made a dwarf alt the evening before on a low pop RP realm, after multiple tries on my usual server. Logged into him and 14 minutes later had a Yeti, with no competition.

BTW, if you are spamming /Tar, helps to have sound turned up, can hear the sound effect when the target is successful. Means don't hafta stare at screen.

How to get your yeti: Set your alarm clock at 3:30 in the morning. :P
Only 2 other people but they were not interested in it. The things we do for a pet.... :roll:

Dusted off my RPPVP toon from my minfernal days and after a few tries, was able to snag him.
There were often folks there (110's) who were obviously from that server, so I hopped out.
When I snagged him, I was the only one in the globe although someone did show up as I logged out.
SO, while it was WAY less competition than even my "low" population home server, it isnt a guaranteed catch (but definitely easier in the long term).

I got one on the first day with a little competition, and then last night I wandered into Ironforge and one was just running around in the globe with no one around.

So it appears to be getting pretty easy as the holiday goes on.

Got mine at 7:40am EST on US-Shadowsong today, so glad to get it on my first attempt.

Thanks for testing this Gráinne!

I don't remember a green paw print above its head when I captured mine either. If that's changed, I can't help but wonder if other things about the spawning of this pet have changed (since the start of the event) too.
I can answer this question.
I capture mine on the 16 and the green paw was already there
Weird.... today i was in if messing around and saw a globle yeti running around... no paw either on his head or mini maps.
but when i mouse over i could see the Paw.
i did not interact to let somebody got it , few secs after...

Indeed. Just to confuse things further, one last screenshot, without the paw, from day before yesterday:

I didn't think to try mousing over it or targetting it though. That may be the key.
