So I’ve been sitting here for about 2 hours for a rare to spawn. It’s 1 of 2 Rares that drops the Highland Drake Customization: Ears and given how bugged Shadeslasher Trakken is to spawn I thought I’d try a different rare for the day. (Because waiting an hour+ for the objects to spawn for Shadeslasher to appear only for the rare to NOT spawn after you clicked all three is to say the least, annoying)
So back to the story and question. Are certain Dragonflight rares on a daily rotation like certain Argus and Korthia rares are?
If that is the case I kind of wish that Blizz had that info written somewhere.

I’ve not heard of any. Should just be a timer. According to comments he doesn’t appear on the map. Maybe just a manual look around.
I’m honestly sitting at a point between where he wanders and have a /target macro and haven’t seen him for 2 hours. I’m so tired of these rares taking forever to spawn especially since they have a daily loot lock out.
Also he’s literally not up. I fly around ever so often to check.

I spent 4 hours waiting for Researcher Sneakwing one evening and he never spawned.
The other day I was flying around and he showed up so I dropped down and killed him. Not even 30 minutes later he popped up again. Not only that, some rares seem to never become rare again after you kill them once. I’m so confused.

There is actually a rotation, yes. Some rares will simply not spawn on a day. Basically Blizz has the rares spawning in rotation batches. Some days will be one batch of rares. Others will be a different batch of rares.
On alpha/beta, rares were on a daily spawn schedule. If they were up for that day - they’d spawn again within like 5 minutes.
It feels like most rares in DF are like this still, but they increased the 5 minutes from anywhere from 5 to 60 minutes.
But then there’s other rares like the “Super Rares” that are up every day regardless.
Well glad that’s case closed then. I can go to sleep and hope the rare is up tomorrow! Don’t know why the Wowhead comments stating that rare is on a rotation was downvoted into oblivion.
Can you tell me what ones are “super rare”? Because i cant find info on them. I would love to get past ilvl 385 if possible!
Thanks in advance.
So, according to wowhead comments this fella does not appear every day. So there you go, I guess some rares are only occasional. That’s a bummer. However I did just spawn and fight this dude. So he’s up today at least.
I heard the rares were on rotation. Which sucks because you would have to wait to figure out if they are on rotation or not (which could lead you to wasting hours of your day - Which is bad honestly). So I just check if rares are up if I am in the area. It sucks you can’t tell if rares are up or not if they are on a schedule.
I literally think this boss is just bugged because I’ve been able to spawn it everyday for about 4-5 days straight. I’ve had instance where it bugged earlier in the day like an hour before I spawned one that was unbugged. It wouldn’t make sense for Blizz to have it’s spawn items up if the rare itself was not up that day.
Is there a way to tell which rares are present for the day?
Getting Eldoren the Reborn will give me the Adventurers of Thaldraszus and That’s Pretty Neat achievement, along with the Birdwatcher title, but I haven’t had any luck in seeing the guy.
From what I was told, rares rotate every 2 hours. Not sure what the starting hour point is if it’s an even or odd hour.
I still think it should be an all day thing. Rare’s rotate every 24 hours that way we’re not forced to sit there and camp the rare’s spawn location all day.
Don’t know if you’ll see this in time, but Eldoren should spawn on US realms at 7 pm PDT today
Dam, I just saw your post…
At that time I was doing elemental storms to get the overflow in order to get gear for an alt.
I’m going to hope on to see if it’s still up or something…
The Brackenhide Hollow rares are on a set ten minute rotation with the entire group taking a round forty minutes to each spawn, and they go in alphabetical order. Meanwhile I’m trying to figure out what the deal is with Mahg the Trampler so I can get my Highland Drake: Club Tail…
I tried making an alt on your server to let you know but it didn’t show you as online for me >_<
If you don’t get it, next time I know Eldoren will spawn I’ll let you know again, but it might be a while
Thanks for trying. If the elemental overflow could be sent to the alts, I would have been on my main for it.
It also doesn’t help that I don’t know how this rare on the hour thing really works. Is it every hour or every other hour, is it just that one time at the that hour mark or can the rare respawn until the next set of rares are chosen, do the rares have days on or off, etc…
