World of Warcraft Rare Spawns

A rare spawn with his own flying machine! Fumblub Gearwind, Level 71 Elite Rare Spawn in Borean Tundra. My luck with the rare spawns over the few days has been pretty phenomenal, maybe it's time to head to the storm peaks and seek out that elusive Time-Lost Proto Drake? Loot was [ Flumblub's Seat Cushion of the Marksmen ], a fantastic item for the hunter I am currently levelling! Oh, and the satchel, as usual. 

My second kill on Aotona, a Level 75 Elite Rare Spawn in Sholazar Basin. This mob is by no means elite in the usual sense. As you can see in the screen shot, whilst fighting the oversized parrot I accidentality aggro'ed an emperor cobra and I'm pretty sure the snake did me more damage than the giant bird. Even mages and rogues could solo this one (haha).  Dropped a very nice DPS plate wrist and the usual satchel. 

Killed this guy again on my Death Knight, this time he was right by the Amphitheater of Anguish. I was doing the Argent Crusade reputation daily quest to collect the medallions from the dead trolls and he just walked right over to me. He dropped a pretty awesome pair of plate legs, [ Eternal Observer's Legplates of the Champion ] and the usual satchel.

Sholazar Basin is so heavily camped by miners and herbalists that I really didn't think I would get a shot at this guy. These days I only really play my druid to grind herbs and make potions so I am really out of practice with it. The first time I fought him he actually killed me and I had to corpse run all the way back before someone else got him. As you can see from the screen shot, he almost got me the second time too. Should have used bear form. Loot: [Abandoned Adventurers Satchel] and the blue quality [ King's Eyesocket of the Sorcerer ]

Got to this one too late, a bunch of alliance players were just finishing her off as I arrived, but that's ok, this isn't the one that drops the proto-drake mount. This is my first sighting of Vyragosa and it may well be my last, on my server every suspected spawn point for the rares in Stormpeaks is now camped, seemingly 24/7 and I have given up hope of getting the Time-lost proto-drake mount.

My best day of rare spawn hunting yet, five outland rares within the space of just a few hours. The Silver Dragon addon really showed its worth! Some pretty nice loot from each of them too! Voidhunter Yar, Level 68 non-elite rare spawn: Doomsayer Jurim, Level 64 non-elite rare spawn: Chief Engineer Lorthander, level 69 non-elite rare spawn: Ever-Core the Punisher, level 68 non-elite rare spawn: Morcrush, Level 68 non-elite rare spawn:

At long last, a Grocklar kill! Soloed him on my level 74 warlock with the Voidwalker tanking. He dropped the blue quality [Rock-Giant's Pinky Cover of the Necromancer] . He also dropped the usual [Abandoned Adventurer's Satchel] , which, oddly enough, is no longer a blue item. The bag contained 24g 98s, 20x frostweave cloth and 3x Crystalized Fire. He was almost exactly where I saw him last time - the Dragonblight/Grizzly Hills border, on the Grizzly Hills side of the river walking northwards through the woods.

Spotted this corpse while on route to the Argent Tournament. I didn't get him, so I can't post any loot shots or anything, I'll be keeping an eye out for him though. Amazing how close he is to the tournament grounds, not to mention that he is right below the flight paths from Dalaran to the tournament.  With the huge amount of traffic around this area, High Thane Jorfus will be a tough one to get! High Thane Jorfus, Level 80 Elite Rare Spawn, Icecrown, Northrend              

Now that everyone is fighting the Lich King's undead army in Northrend, Outland and Azerothian rare spawns are so much easier to find. I am currently levelling a Blood Elf Warlock so I have been grinding quests through a largely deserted Outland. The first rare spawn I managed to get was Doomsayer Jurim, he is a level 64 non-elite but was still a pretty tough fight. He patrols the roads around Terrokar Forest, even venturing right up to Shattrath. He dropped money, water, cloth and the blue quality [Grim Slippers of the Whale] , a pretty nice pair of boots for clothies. The second rare spawn was Ever-Core The Punisher, a level 68 non-elite that patrols the roads around Manaforge Ultris in Netherstorm. Like Doomsayer Jurim, despite being non-elite, is still a tougher than average fight. He dropped the blue quality [Arcane Loop of Agility] and some other junk.

Whilst quietly questing away to my hearts content in Coldarra, levelling my new human death knight, I suddenly spotted this guy strolling by: I couldn't believe my eyes, I wasn't even there looking for the rare spawns. This was a new one on me, Old Crystalbark, a Level 71 Elite Rare Spawn. I stopped and thought for a second, could a level 70 blood spec death knight down a Level 71 Elite? Yep, a death knight certainly can take a 71 elite, and without too much trouble either, no health pots used in this fight. Loot: An awesome pair of blue quality plate gloves [Crystalbark's Toenail of the Soldier] , and, of course, the blue quality [ Abandoned Adventurer's Satchel ] which contained 20 gold, a full stack of frostweave cloth and a couple of Crystalized life. And this kill got me the Northern Exposure achievement for my new death knight. Well worth going looking for this guy if you are a class that can solo him, those gloves will be good for a whol...
