What's the secret to charming the white moa?

I've seen them appear twice.

And I've not been looking for them.

And I don't want them.

And I've only zoned out of the about 9 times or so.

Lucky me? That's how life works. lol

When you're looking for something, you'll never find it.

When you're not, it's always around...

When you're not, it's always around... Heh. And it's "always in the last place you look."

...although why you would go on looking for it after you found it always escapes me.

You need to have a ranger primary or secondary. You, not your heroes.

That's how it's always been for my warrior at least.

EDIT: Ok, maybe it was just luck, or they changed it. I'd say it was just luck. My elementalist saw them once at the preview weekend. Didn't really see them again after that. Oh and I want a yellow moa bird. Then I can name it my own Chocobo.

where are they by olaf? (right outside) like when u port out u can see them? Just to the SW of Olafstead. You can see the yaks standing around as you go down the 'ramp' and the bison moving around behind them after you leave the ramp. They are right there when they do spawn, and you can't miss them. If you don't see them when you get to the bottom of the ramp, then they didn't spawn, so...rezone, rezone, rezone until they do. According to the wiki, you have to have completed the Curse of the Nornbear quest for them to spawn.

They also sometimes spawn as you're coming out of the south gate of Sifhalla and in the northern part of Jaga Moraine, but it's the same thing... only sometimes.

You have to chase them down. Once Pyre finally got off the charm animal skill, he started chasing the moa, then the moa suddenly turned and came running toward us. It was funny to watch.
