![]() ![]() ![]() If you're farming a mount, it's better to see it as a bonus or a daily quest you have to complete over time. It can destroy any enjoyment you have for the game and actually make it a "hell". I listened for it on Thundering Ruby and August but it's just Onyx that has it (for now).Ĭomment by 1206538One thing I learned when farming for another mount was that trying to obtain a certain mount shouldn't become your main objective. It can be heard better with headphones on because it's so soft, but it's definitely there! For some odd reason, it's the only one of the four Thundering Serpents that contains this sound effect. It's one of those awesome additions to mounts that I love that could possibly go unnoticed (kind of like the soft crackling of flames on Ashes of Al'ar). One really cool thing to note about this Cloud Serpent: If you listen closely, or have your volume up high enough, you can hear the faint fizzy buzz of electricity as the serpent zaps. It took me 73 kills before the reins dropped, so if you do get it your first time, you're lucky! ![]() I never want to camp an Aeonaxx or Time-Lost Proto-Drake or Poseidus ever again.Īs for my opinion on the aesthetics of this mount: It, like the other two Onyx Cloud Serpent mounts, is absolutely gorgeous, and worth farming for. I can see this being continued in future patches and expansions, and I can only hope they don't go back to the old way. At least while you're farming your mount, you can stock up on Timeless Coins (currency for yet another gorgeous Cloud Serpent you can purchase). With mounts like these, they are leaning more toward being fair. I would much rather have a decreased drop rate and constant untaggable farm than I would to camp something and perhaps never see it for months, or have it taken from you. This new method of farming mounts from "rare" mobs is much more preferred over the old way (camp for weeks only to have someone steal it from you). I've said before, in regards to Alani, where the Reins of the Thundering Ruby Cloud Serpent comes from, that Blizzard is handling mounts from rare drops with care in this expansion, and this still holds true. Everyone's loot is different (though multiple people can get it from one kill). The mount will not drop for everyone in the "group". 2) You can sell it if you already own one. This is great for a few reasons: 1) You, as a collector, can buy it from someone else if they don't want it. Man, Blizzard loves that number, don't they?Īccording to sources, the mount can be traded to other players who were in on the kill. After much time tracking the drop rate, it's revealed that the drop is very low, or the usual mount drop rate of 1%. On my multiple kills of the day, I still received Epoch Stones and Quivering Firestorm Eggs (and of course, Lesser Charms).Īs I've said before, the mount does not have a 100% drop rate, due to its group farm-ability. Your chance at the mount, I understand from people's claims, never changes. I do still get pieces from him, but it's not common at all. On my first day to the isle, I got a timeless piece off of every rare I killed, and now I rarely do. I don't know if it was their first kill ever or not, but it's possible that after your first kill ever, the drop rate might be reduced for Timeless pieces, or eliminated completely. At first I assumed that Timeless gear pieces didn't drop after your first kill ever, but people received Burdens of Eternity from him today. I believe your "first kill of the day" only refers to the amount of coins and other useful loot you'll receive. However, you will not get any more timeless gear pieces that day, and you will receive less coins than your first kill. Someone on my realm received one on his fourth kill of the day, his thirtieth kill total. Even if you are not in a group, you may hit Huolon and get a chance at his loot.Īlthough it's been speculated that due to the hidden tracking quests for Huolon and rares like him that you may only have a chance at the mount once a day, there's been proof that this isn't true. The mount is not a 100% drop rate, like with most rares that drop mounts, since unlike most other mount-dropping rares, Huolon is not taggable by a single person. Huolon's spawn rate is approximately 30-60 minutes, and his spawn point is always the same: above the bridge on the path to Blazing Way. Comment by MelancholyRoseThis mount drops from the rare elite Cloud Serpent of the same model, Huolon on the Timeless Isle. ![]()
