The Golden Spectral Stag is no longer a mystery. I've been given this information and was asked to share it with you here to give everyone a fair chance in the hunt. Like the rares, the Golden Spectral Stag has five spawns. But unlike the rares, this one is on a fairly odd timer. It doesn't spawn right at maintenance/reset - it spawns exactly an hour after the server up time (explained in the rare taming guide). Then you will see it again every 36 hours and 45 minutes. It bounces between AM and PM so players in different time zones can have a chance at it. The GSS can be caught with a trap now, so what are you waiting for! Get out there and get it! Happy Hunting! <3

~*A Special Thanks*~
PoisonDoll from PS4 was an amazing help, she helped piece together the first four spawns. She also encouraged me to make another guide.

Leo, Holls, Skeleton and their amazing group that consists of three guilds - Last Guardians, THE MAD TITANS, and Republic from XBOX EU contacted me after they worked tirelessly to figure out the timer.

AkiRosenthal from PS4 showed me the 5th spawn, seconds after he found it! I wouldn't have been able to finish the guide without this final pivotal piece of the puzzle.

You guys are incredible people, you all worked very hard to contribute to the guide and I thank you so much for coming forward with this information. Because of your hard work and dedication everyone will have a chance at this beautiful mount. I believe the community will thank you as well. I look forward to working with you in the future. <3

Here is a video of the Golden Spectral Stag being caught by Fievel (XBOX Physera) to show how to catch it at the only spawn with enemies. (Unless the Navarra invasion goes off, lol.)
