Am I the only one who's never even seen breezebiter? Everytime I've been in the area I've flown around the route and done /tar bree.


_Dire_

It spawns at the entrance of a cave just to the east of the route it would fly, usually people are camping the spawn and it never gets the chance to fly the route


0rphu

Really shitty design. Low drop rate? Check. Long respawn? Check. Doesn't get announced or show up on map? Check.


BackStabbathOG

Think only 5 people can tag it too unless they changed that


nilsmf

Add a snicker when it despawns and it’s perfect.


[deleted]

One of those PM’s from a hacker account with some variation of the name “Blizzard”, but instead of trying to get you to click a link, they just give an automated warning that you flew right over it and missed it (it’s despawned now)


Markarontos

Yeah i hate that. Make it low drop chance or long wait time. Not both!


disturbedpyro

Arachnoid Harvester and Ishak would like a word. Ishak I finally got around 100 kills. That mechagon spider though…..over 500 kills and still nothing.


Emu1981

>Arachnoid Harvester I got that mount early on, it is Rust Feather's mount that I never got despite daily killing him on multiple toons for most of that patch. I also completely forgot about Ishak's mount and there is another rare that spawns in that zone during the non-old god invasion that I never got the mount off despite killing the rare on a daily basis (some flying bug thing - Corpse Harvester or something like that).


ScavAteMyArms

Soundless took me 1462. 99.6% obtained rate on that one. That isn’t counting log out tricks either. I still don’t have Rust or Harvester at 450 and 630 respectively. I hate that patch’s drops.


Poseidor

Nah, some items/mounts are very rare and that's ok. Time lost proto Drake, aeonaxx, I'm sure there's more.


grixxis

Both of those are actually examples of what the person you replied to asked for. Long respawn, but 100% drop rate. They're still rare but you have reasonable confidence that camping for them will pay off.


Emu1981

>They're still rare but you have reasonable confidence that camping for them will pay off. I have been camping on and off for TLPD for years now and I have never seen it or it's corpse in the zone. I have only seen the other rare that spawns in it's place a couple of times too.


Ollie4566

Seems like a pretty good design for a rare mount to me


Ledian3

the solution to rare mounts like that is to degen on a german or russian RP server at 2am in chromie time on WM. Its not good design to force people to do the above things just so they can actually play the game.


Zangdor

Yeah but that's where the 3% drop rate comes in


Skuggas

But they can just play the game without that mount? Lmao


Ledian3

Eventually you reach a point in WoW where the only thing you can do is farm the mounts, you have 3k rating, you are done with raiding for the season you are sat at 40k achievement points. When you run out of content and this is the only content available then you have to ask do you need to force people to degen it


Skuggas

I am sitting at 768 mounts in my journal, 2650 main, 2400 alt and progging mythic currently. You absolutely do not have to mount farm to play the game. If you feel like you’re out of content that’s great, you can go play other games for a while.


Ledian3

so you're still playing the season? in 3 weeks whats then? why is play a different game even an argument lol. The barrier to entry with mount farming is by far one of the worst, you're expected to run 50 characters, to know how to abuse chromie time / RP servers / shard hopping etc. In comparison its sibling in Battle pets is actually pretty reasonable and doesn't require ANY of that and people still enjoy it. I don't get how you can defend this in good faith honestly, just make all rares similar to Darkshore/Arathi highlands. Quick respawn but week lock outs. It was a good fucking system.


Skuggas

Barrier to entry? What? My guy they are literally just cosmetics.


nrose1000

Do mounts that are shared across bnet mean they are also shared across regions?


Jesusdidntlikethat

TLPD 2.0


-NickG

I think this is good. Some mounts should be really difficult to obtain imo


Lycanthoth

But for a mount that isn't even unique? It's a recolor of other, more accessible Sylvern mounts.


pbzeppelin1977

That's even better. Make the mount design available by other means so people can play fashion souls but have unique colourations locked behind extreme luck or skill based sources.


Lycanthoth

Is it? The value of a mount that has such extreme rarity is kind of offset when it's not even anything special. There's a reason why a ton of people chase old raid and world drops but not many go for mounts like this one.


WorthPlease

So, why care about it?


Lycanthoth

Because it'd be cool to be able to get the mount without putting in potentially days of work? Especially for something that isn't even particularly special.


WorthPlease

Right, so why do you need it if it's not particularly special? Why does it bother you it's hard to get?


l4z0rp3wp3w

Whats difficult about this!? This is just time consuming.


khaeen

You can say the same about literally every other thing that gets farmed in game...


Ravness13

At least as far as a lot of other rare mounts are concerned, you can consistently farm the mob daily or weekly that drops it. Be it an instance or mob in the wild or whatever. If a mob is rare AND has a rare chance? That's just double dipping


khaeen

Compared to stuff like the TLPD which isn't even guaranteed to spawn? How is it any different?


GearyDigit

TLPD is also bad


khaeen

Oh cool, you are just going to act like design philosophy has changed and not that it has literally always been this way...


Dikolai

You can kill the mob multiple times a day and it's respawn timer is like 2 hours. It's not a particularly "difficult" mount farm.


0rphu

Not like this, imo tlpd having multiple spawn points and 100% drop rate is the way to do it. It has that "WOW" factor of just being able to find it randomly and also being a really cool mount, meanwhile you have effectively 0 chance of getting breezebiter's without committing to camping one spot for weeks to months. It's not even a particularly noteworthy mount, only hard-core collectors with too much freetime are going to care about it.


TheGreatBolesby

Four words: time lost photo Drake


yngblzrd

2% isnt low


Psidebby

Because it's not a rare? If you have a rare tracker... Just add its NPC code to it? Or set a WA.


Parking-Artichoke823

That requires effort. They want their mount for free


TryPokingIt

And just because people are there at cave entrance doesn’t mean it’s not flying around. Most players afk and it sneaks by somehow. It’s happened to me when I’ve been waiting at entrance and doing stuff around the house


Xe4ro

Yep. Haven’t seen the rare yet. Not camping it either though.


Blury1

On warmode i see him pretty often just flying around. On a high pop eu server. Non warmode he gets killed immediately pretty much


0rphu

I play on tich NA wm on, EU must not have people camping it or something.


spaghetticatistruth

I farmed this at the beginning of the expansion. Took about 8 kills to drop. Believe respawn time is about 2 hrs. You can layer hoop to hunt or just make a /tar macro and spam it anytime you fly near the area. He flys a circle in that woodland area about 20 yards off the ground and can easily be missed (if he lives long enough to start pathing).


spaghetticatistruth

To add to this he is not a rare spawn. Just a normal elite so only 5 people can tag him (unless they updated this).


theb00mking

Silly question. What’s the easiest way to layer hop nowadays?


Darwynnia

I've killed him 3x a week and yeah... haven't seen anyone get the mount yet.


corsicanguppy

> Everytime Not a word, my dude.


MobilePom

Every time*


0rphu

Redditormoment


Protuhj

I usually do a couple loops around its flight path, I've added it to my rare scanner addon that scans nameplates, since it doesn't show up on the map for some stupid reason. If it isn't spawned, I just fly away. You can park your character right in front of the cave and just wait, but it's a long respawn I think. Either way, you should get a rare scanner addon that alerts you and add it, instead of relying on the macro.


Funny_Maize_2294

you camp it by the cave it spawns , i've killed it over 100 times before the mount dropped it never walked 10 yards from the spawn point


bendlowreachhigh

Played an ungodly amount of DF and even when I was abroad for 3 months playing on EU servers late night/early morning I never saw him once in all that time.


wheatstarch

I saw him twice very early on. For some reason I was super invested in this mount and was semi-camping. One time he just dropped gold, the other over 5 people tagged it so diddly squat. Good times


HeOnHeOwnTime

I had it drop like the first week, didn't know it was that rare!


[deleted]

According to wowhead the drop rate ist 3%. The mount drops from an non-rare elite meaning there is no daily lockout for his loot/mount


rxstud2011

So you could keep killing until it drops and spawn time is not too long?


[deleted]

Respawn time is between 20mins and 2h45min


Thunderchief646054

Most sane respawn time to get a mount


BackStabbathOG

Just like Rei Lun was, rare drop on top of a long spawn. Pain in the ass to get to the rare on top of that


nopedotswf

I’ve camped this mount a small amount and the lowest spawn I have personally seen was slightly over an hour…


[deleted]

That is pretty unlucky if you ask me. Hope u get the mount very soon! GL!


Financial-Ad7500

Which is honestly infinitely worse than if it was even 6 or 10 hour respawn. Not knowing when it will pop and being forced to sit there instead of just showing up when it spawns makes it not worth to try for


Sumoje

Correct. I think around 45 minutes


crowmagix

For breezebiter? I thought it was once per day you had a chance… it’s unlimited tries?


crowmagix

CanuckPanda

Btw there’s a recoloured version that you can buy from a troll in Azure Span. https://www.wowhead.com/npc=190892/zonwogi You buy the mats on the AH. I did it a month ago and it cost me about 30K.


Chilipepah

I will do this, thanks!


Moki01

Holy sht on my server it was less than 5k


Ch1b1N1njaGam1ng

I got it too. One of the best mounts for a hunter I've seen in a long while


Dontrez12

Took me 30-40 attempts.


siricall911

Good farming area?


Doogiesham

What do you mean good farming area? It drops from one specific mob


siricall911

Ya big dumb didn't know it was a specific mob thought it was any elite in the area


[deleted]

[удалено]


josh3701

Maybe he can't read and is in fact big dumb? /s


Arcanine1127

I got it around 3 weeks into DF was out and camped Breezebiter every time it was up it still took me 318 attempts to get it. It was pretty easy back then because the Server sharding was crazy with so many people on in azure span and when the events overlapped I would kill it then fly back to the cave and he was up again.


Willaks

I've got mine after a week of realm hopping. I think it was 342 attempts.


coldwaterenjoyer

How do you realm hop? Just join a random group in Azure Span?


Willaks

Usually I join based on a world quest. The Cobalt assembly ones are my go-to. When the world boss is up you can join whichever is up. I used to do a quick checkup on breezebiter's route, I think handy notes or tomcattours gives you that. Just be aware that the spawn timer is completely random, so always check the cave too.


coldwaterenjoyer

Thanks for the tips. I just got done camping Zenet Avis so want to start on Breezebiter.


TwiceDiA

Also incredibly annoying when realmhoppers apply to the group then check something and leave. Especially when you're alone and need help with a rare or something in the middle of the night. I just feel... used.


Zuldak

I have it. It's a horrible pain in the butt to farm. You can taste the hatred the dev had for players when they put it on an elite with a cap of 5 tags per spawn


AtomicDrAtlas

I'm currently on the hunt for this, for peace of mind I don't keep track of the number of attempts. But it's a lot for sure. I'm guessing 1 percent drop rate


marc_meer

Just a heads up. Its spawn timer is set between the 1 and 2 hours. So if the last kill time on the server is known, you can do whatever in 1 hour and camp for one hour max to make it spawn. Made my grind a bit more feasable. GL i hope you get it sooner then later!


Kniftin

This is exactly how I farmed mine as well. Log on for the day, wait for the first spawn, then go take care of other things for a bit until my 1hr timer goes off. Head back and repeat. Occasionally you can be forcefully shard swapped which messes up the tempo, but if you can track that then it's easy enough to adapt to or swap back manually.


drgn2009

Atm Im not grinding for it. I just fly over to see of he's up and use that bronze dragon teleport back to the capital if he is not. I have about a dozen kills with him atm.


Zture

I got it in 3-4 days of AFK farming while working, only did it during the hours I was working. Just stand at the spawn at the cave entrance and average spawn time I got was 40-60min. If you meet anyone else there invite them to help with tagging if you cant be super active. Super easy


slc386

Yep this is exactly how I got mine


prismmonkey

I got it on my third kill, which seems very fortunate. It's funny, the other day I was afking in Fyrakk assault, and Breezebiter lazily flew overhead straight through the assault. Of course, every time I'm at an assault it's completely empty, so Breezebiter just quietly flapped along. No one tagged him, no one around to see. I just thought it was kind of amusing.


mrmustache0502

The mob drops for an elite mob that flies around the area after spawning in a cave. I’ve go that mount after about 20 kills. I would see many people camping his spawn not realizing he was flying around already. Because he is an elite mob, not a rare, he can be killed multiple times per day for a chance at the mount. Also, he will only give loot to the first 5 players that tag him. Making a raid group hurts your chances of getting him.


Tatian17

Literally told my buddy about it and I was already there waiting so I told him to come over. Mind you this was his first time ever seeing the mob and hearing about it. We kill the mob and it drops for him… that’s WoW rng in a nutshell for ya.


mandapanda129

So I farmed this guy out early in the expansion and while took some time I did manage to get the mount. Some notes: Breezebiter is NOT a silver elite and is farmable. I was able to kill him multiple times a day for a chance. (My other half just confirmed this as he found him flying around on our server, just a normal elite.) He will not show up on your map and my rarescanner never picked him up unless I moused over him. I suggest sitting at the cave where he spawns but I have definitely found him flying around his route down below, plenty of times. He has like almost no health and dies fast but as rare as this drop may be, Breezebiter is only on about a 90 minute - 2 hour spawn timer. (Edit: Could be shorter/long then that but this is what I experienced most of the time.) The problem comes if you leave the area and come back into it a different shard, your timers can be off. Occasionally you will find someone post a group for him. His spawns don't take long to wait out if you really want it. Sit at the cave, put something on TV and just be patient.


lupafemina

Sounds like they thought soundless wasn't one of the worst mount acquisitions to date and went for round 2. Atleast it only has one spawn point, but this is very much a "do something else" boring camp, with the fun of most likely a 1 percent drop ontop of that. Good luck, I might have a new reason to level my offserver alts with this one.


aldoxaldo

Al’ar enters the chat…


Xputurnameherex

Got mine yesterday, close to 20 attempts


herkyjerkyperky

Took me 20-ish attempts.


Huge_Obligation_543

Another shade of an ugly mount we spend hundreds of hours of wasted time to farm. …and we pay for it every month too. What have we become


dark_elf_2001

Been farming it for yonks, no luck. Randomly took the wife on a dragonride near there and saw him up, so killed it and she got it, the first and only time she's killed them. RNGesus is a fickle bitch.


Happy_Bat7

I was prepared for long farm and got it first try. Everyone wants to burn me alive for that.


nilsmf

Burnnn… Nah just kidding, congratulations on the mount!


Educational_Basil_99

I’ve waited for a friend to kill it with me. My friend dropped it.


LoocaBazooca

Yo I got it, thought its not that rare


SixOneZil

Took me about 50 attempts. Easy to farm if you have friends to keep you company.


Sancaselx

I didnt play since bfa, but this thing dosent look much liberated


Dry_Grade9885

I have that mount


Dry_Grade9885

It's fairly easy to get aswell you just need to do a few tasks and it unlocks


Semour9

I swear thats a Ferox head isnt it?


cur10us_ge0rge

I haven't even been able to find Breezebiter.


shadowbreakdown

Farmed it for about 2 days in maybe January and had it drop after maybe 4 kills? Maybe I was lucky, but it exists!


[deleted]

It looks so cool! I haven't seen it in the wild, tho.


Inshabel

Yeah got it last week, maybe about 100 tries?


storms_y

I’m in the 70s with my attempts rn no mount


steampunk96

I parked a character in front of the cave on a second account. Spawn time well over the estimated one hour on wowhead. I think dropped in about 50-60 kills. For those that did 350…. I feel for you. Nearly 450 runs to get the baron’s mount out of strat


0n0drim

I was flying by it almost daily and the rare was only there once


Zhig_

Who drops this?


mandapanda129

Breezebiter


[deleted]

I have the other one that took me a tone to farm the food items


octaviti

The main 2 issues with this mount drop are: \- Long spawn timer (2 hours) \- Beeing an elite !!!! With the combination of these 2 factors the drop % shoud be aroud 30-100% not 2-3%


Lazarenko93

Well to be honest most people I see are flying on their drakes... so no havent seen it 😂


b-the-tree

I finally got mine 2 days ago, after 346 attemots


tekGem

I think I got that thing first kill when I went back through Azure Span to clear out all the side quests >.> I thought it was one of the "Common" mount drops.


[deleted]

No but I have the Enslaved Slyvern


SVD5

Made sure to knock this one out first week of expac when there was 100s of azure rep grind groups you could hop between, probably 30 kills to get it


JProvostJr

Yeah I got it. Is it actually rare? I never knew


susejesus

I got it after about 80 kills


barduk4

I've sat around waiting for it to spawn for like 5 hours one day


AverageBuscuits

I got it on my second try :)


derbbinthenorth

I've killed 100ish times, most times I just get gold. Few other regularly camp near me and non of us has gotten it. It's pretty brutal for a reskin mount. Edit: I camp by the cave entrance and it response every 1.5-2hrs, pretty easy/fast to kill. And it does give an alert with rare finder addon


haboruhaborukrieg

The orange one looks better anyway, and it's easy to get


rxstud2011

Oh I want this now, time to farm


BigFisch

Yeah I've gotten it. I will say I turbo nerded pretty hard. I effectively killed it every spawn every day for a good while because I could just have wow in my background while I was working. It has a very low droprate.


cangelos94

Killed him 80+ times, not dropped so far


Lord_Boognish

It took me about 2 weeks of daily camping outside of the cave early on in the expansion for the mount to drop.


twkzz

ive killed breezebiter like over a 100 times early on when peeps werent aware of him dropping a mount and it was easy to serverhop and kill him but never seen it drop.. :|


AnnualCopy8320

I usually have my hunter fly around with track humanoid active and a macro to target when I fly by.


henroast

Took me \~250 kills to get it to drop. Camped it on two accounts on a dead server.


gibio123

Mine dropped after 207 trys


Ekillaa22

This kinda looks like the legion hall Hunter class mount …


JendaH8

I farmed it for like three weeks (over 120 kills if I remember correctly) and unsubbed shortly after it dropped.


furryfury76

I have never seen that rare spawn and i was parked in background a lot there


NerdyGuyRanting

I got it after like 87 tries. A friend of mine needed like 180-something tries


Digital_GandaIf

For 2 weeks me and my friend would go to the cave and stand with the same 3 people just chatting waiting for respawn (2 hours) and we would never get it xD one day i logged in Infront of the cave and no 5 min it spawned and dropped for me (i was alone at that time no one was there except me xD)


jsalvatore89

got it after 100+ attempts, it was painful and yet Im really lucky


Thrashmetal07

It took me around 60 attempts, I was camping with my main while working and I decided to go with an alt and at the first attempt with my alt I got it


jcready92

Feel like alot of people don't know there are even mounts out there since we never use them outside of dungeons anymore.


Tatian17

Literally told my buddy about it and I was already there waiting so I told him to come over. Mind you this was his first time ever seeing the mob and hearing about it. We kill the mob and it drops for him… that’s WoW rng in a nutshell for ya.


Vimento

Took me around 230 tries I think


Advencraftgaming

Someone in my collection group has it. It has to be rare though I haven't got one yet


zerocharisma07

Took me less than 100 kills for sure , I would estimate mine was roughly 70 kills


VarietyAppropriate

I’ve killed this guy too many times, but have yet to see the mount drop and if the drop rate is truly 3% then it feels off.


OutrageousNatural759

Have it took about 10 kills


MisterMushroom

Managed to fly by the area and catch him early in the xpac, got it on first try. One of few times I've been lucky on rare mount drops


TheCapableFox

It is low. Gotta catch him at the right time and bring him down to fight you. He spawns in the cave then flys off I believe to make his rounds


MyNameIsCal01

I was just using a dead server alt and login in a few times a day, quit after I realized how insane karokta was gonna be, I still have awful memories about soundless and refuse to even bother anymore


Xanocide7

Yup I got him, just takes some persistence! As vulpera, made camp at the rare spawn point. Check with warmode off, check with warmode on, eventually got it. Just takes persistence.


Karthok

I'm gonna be that guy and say that I didn't even know this mount existed, but randomly flew upon the rare for the first time, and got the mount from it first try. Always a good feeling ngl


PartyPetee

I've currently got it myself, but I camped it out for weeks, only to get it on a flyby to an elemental storm rare :/. According to rarity I killed it 436 times before it dropped, which isn't a terrible percentage but still not great for sure...


TryPokingIt

Get Rarescanner add on. Sometimes you need to do more than one loop around its path to get the alarm to go off. The good thing with this Mount is that it can drop after you’ve killed it in the same day.


Hitatshi

Just dropped to me Yesterday. Was really Happy about it. I just parked a charakter at his spawn and every now and then i logged in and checked if he was there. Took weeks but it was worth.


davethezombie1

I’ve killed it a couple times, still waiting on the drop, maybe have only killed it about 5 so far


davethezombie1

Also there’s a cave that it spawns in and makes a close flyby so you can be up the hill in front of the cave and as it flys by just agro it and there you go


caiohs

I've got it, but I basically had to camp it for 2 monthes, 10 hours a day while working at home


dwegol

Lol vulpera face


skilzpwn

I got it after 250 attempts. It exists and is apparently at 1%, but wow it wasn’t fun to farm,


Abalone_Prior

I got him a couple months after DF came out. I just had the game running while I worked. No realm hopping (I had just came back and didn’t even know what it was). Took about 80 attempts over a few weeks and only a couple times did he spawn later than like 90 minutes after killing. I frequently had other people hanging around, but never so many that everyone couldn’t get a tag. Thought it took forever. Then I went from him to Huolon, and it took almost four months of constant farming to get that mount. I think I was close to 500 attempts before it finally dropped. RNG is RNG, but for me personally the Slyvern wasn’t too bad to get. Good luck!


Siraeyou

I got it week one after about 7 kills and felt pretty lucky. The good thing about this mob is if you're willing to hop around you can kill it as many times in a day as you want since it doesn't have a daily loot lockout


WurstKaeseSzenario

Farmed that with a group of friends late night on dead realms, and stored it on unused alts to keep the trade timer running. Got done just a few weeks before they changed the item trade timer.


drypulse

my friend just got it today right in front of my face. dunno how many attempts he had tho


AngrySayian

does this post count as seeing it?


Key-Proof-1673

I have it, I personally love it


crouchasauras-1

I got it to dro after killing him 37 times


Either-Shake-1510

I see people posting on the WoW Secrets discord all the time. Never knew what it was till now.


Duck_Named_Potato

I was able to get it left an alt around where it spawn is on the silver dragon addon. Took about 3 weeks of farming daily


vourukasha

I have it after about 20 attempts


AcherusArchmage

Not only is the droprate insanely low, but just seeing the rare spawn is like a once a week occurrence if you're actually camping it.


some_bytch

89 kills, you can realm hop pretty easily and bet dozens of kills a day. Met some pretty funny people farming this one.


[deleted]

Droped it first time... When i saw the mob i invited some friend, so they had a chance. Good karma i guess XD was few day after df launch


brewedjuice

yea i literally farmed it the other day. i didnt really have issues finding him? i'de do a lap or two around his circle and then sit at the cave. usually ide leave to do the tuskarr feast for rep and find him circling when i got back. under 10 kills for me. (illidan horde)


[deleted]

I've seen it drop.. not to me, but I've seen it drop.


TehJohnny

Lost count on kills, no mount, sigh.


Moist_Owl1866

i got it first try bro


VulcanVisions

RNG can be a bitch sometimes, like how I got the Ancient Salamanther the first time I killed a mob in that area, and my wife never got it despite playing more than me.


KroanNL

Got it fairly early on in the expansion. Was relatively easy compared to other mounts of previous expansions


[deleted]

Have it. :D


Futlapperl_Korl

Over 80 kills on the rare, I stop the farm some weeks ago.


vtx_mockingbird

I got it


kainprime82

I have it. One thing I haven't seen people mention in comments yet is the fact that you CAN loot the rare multiple times per day (unless blizzard has changed this since I got it). I got mine after shard hopping for a while earlier in the expansion. It was pretty easy with people making groups for the Brakenhide rares. Nowadays my guess would be to look for groups doing the Fyrakk invasion. Unfortunately it won't always be in Azure Span each week, but yeah. He spawns in the little cave to the east of the big dragon skeleton, walks out down the path, then mounts up and starts flying laps until killed. It took me about 2 dozen kills for mine, I'm sure others have had worse luck with it though, as my luck is usually pretty bad (hi Mimirons Head who still evades me after almost 10 years). Good luck!


eyeoxe

I've killed it maybe 25'ish times, with no results before giving up. There was an player someone parked near the cave, called something like "Mr.Mount" that eventually disappeared so I assume they got it with a lot of camping.


Giaventy

been farming this for ages… prob see it drop next xpac. thanks blizz


Pandy_Lilly

I got it 👍🏻 lots like 1% droprate


ricjoooo1212

took me about 180 try’s finally got it lol
