Friday night I participated in some Rated Battlegrounds, and one of the people I was grouped with had a raptor mount I had never seen before - a Primal Green Raptor.
A short time on google/wowhead later, I discovered that there are in fact three Primal Raptors (Red, Black, and Green) and that they drop on the Isle of Giants, the same island where you can get the Bone-White Primal Raptor (collect 9,999 bones from the elites on the island to get this).
The Primal Raptors are gotten from a Primal egg, which has a small chance to drop from any of the elites on the island (and the color you get is random). This island is still pretty busy with people farming, but in just an hour and a half I got 1/5 of the way to the Bone-White raptor and got a Primal Egg.
My time on Wowhead also led me to discover that there is a Triceratops mount! There are several different colors, but these are much harder to get than the raptors:
If memory serves me correctly, they are a 5% drop from the mob Zandalari Warbringer. This mob only spawns in 5 locations, each in a different zone. According to wowhead, the respawn timer is around 30-50 minutes. This map roughly shows their spawn locations in Pandaria:
I say roughly because the Dread Wastes one is a little farther North and the Karasong Wilds one is a little more to the West. Exact coordinates can be gotten from Wowhead. Most of these locations are usually camped, but while waiting for RBG queues yesterday, I was able to fly in between these locations and kill a couple of the spawns. No luck with the drop though. It should be noted that sometimes a Zandalari Warscout will spawn, but that these will not drop the mount (you can kill them anyway, they give rep tokens).
You got an egg - which raptor mount did you get? And screenshot or it didn't happen :p
ReplyDeleteIt takes 3 days for the egg to hatch, so I will post an update tomorrow with which one I got!
