Coldlight Surfrunner

It seems pretty randomized but likely averages out over time, sometimes you get none, sometimes you get 20. I would guess it averages out to 1-5 per island over a large data set. Hard for me to guess since I have my dubloons and island runs spread out across 5 or something characters right now. I know I have done 309 islands over the last 4 weeks and I think (as a rough estimate) I’ve gotten around 400 dubloons in that same period.

Illidette:

Dubloons aren’t really like Apexis. Apexis could drop from literally anything in the level cap areas(Tanaan and the Scouting Missive areas). Rares always dropped them too. Not to mention you could actively farm them in groups in Tanaan at the Throne of Kil’Jaeden. Also not even mentioning the quests in Tanaan could easily give a few thousand each day.

Dubloons are only from Island Expeditions. You aren’t guaranteed to get some. And when you do, it may be 2 or 4 or 6 or 10 or whatever. Provided they make Dubloon bags 100% from every expedition(amount inside can still vary), I think realistically 50 or so Dubloons for pets is a decent price. Maybe 100 but that may be pushing it. Of course, if they add more ways to get Dubloons(8.1 content/missions) the number could be higher to reflect but as is, given all the pets, it’d still take quite a bit of work to get enough to purchase everything.

That’s not even considering the toys/mount/etc… on the Dubloon vendor, assuming those prices have stayed the same on the PTR. That’s even more that will be needed.

Dubloons are… really weird.

I have the upgrade to increase the dubloons I get, but still, some weeks I’ll only get 2-3 Dubloons per bag I open, then other weeks I get 9-14 per bag I open.

It’s like some islands the perk works on and other islands the perk doesn’t work on.

But…but the ROUS did exist. THERE IS HOPE!

edit… I just saw the rest of the thread. crosses fingers

Speaking of dubloons… given the number of times I’ve seen anyone else pick one up (once, I’ve seen it only once), I am guessing that the majority of people are not aware that loose dubloons can spawn on the ground during an island expedition. Whenever a person loots one, everyone on the team gets a dubloon (very rarely is it 2). I know its team-wide as I’ve seen teammates get the achievements for dubloons when I looted one.

On average, I’d guesstimate at least one ground dubloon per island is usual. Sometimes even 2 or 3. They look like big gold plates roughly the size of your characters face.

Thats nifty, did not know that, lol.

Maizou-proudmoore · November 23, 2018, 2:11pm

Minimum of 2 spawn on every island. Sometimes 3.

And yes, occasionally you will loot 2 from one dubloon, and yes, everyone in the party, regardless of where they are on the island, will loot the dubloon when you loot it.

Had a random clump of murlocs on Skittering Hollow (heroic), so I now have a coldlight murloc pet.

I used UndermineJournal and saw one on Darkspear for only 8k. Jumped on a lvl1 toon I had on that server, sold a couple of duplicate pets over trade to make some gold and bought the 8K Coldlight Surfrunner as fast as I could.

It was a deal that was too good to pass up.

Dyngdawng-sargeras · November 24, 2018, 11:32pm

Aw man I saw that on UJ too, but it was too late. Awesome snag, grats!

Saaka-aerie-peak · November 26, 2018, 2:26am

Was running some islands on an alt with friends and got the murloc, I’m Here for the Pets finally done.

Dyngdawng-sargeras · November 27, 2018, 12:09am

Dropped on my last IE today!! Only four to go… and of course they are the ones you cant cage (yet) so more grinding or hoping they arent crazy expensive in 8.1…

Saaka-aerie-peak · November 27, 2018, 8:25pm

If you need Kunchong, Captain Nibs, or the Air Ele pets hit me up after the change I’m at 5, 4, and 6 of those respectively

Dyngdawng-sargeras · November 28, 2018, 12:09am

Giggling Flame
Laughing Stonekin
Mischievous Zephyr
Kunchong Hatchling

Those are the ones I still need… happy to take one of those kunchongs off your hands! I have some duplicates of the currently untradeable ones I could swap if you want.

Maizou-proudmoore · November 28, 2018, 7:07am

The AH will likely be flooded with them when 8.1 hits.

I have like 2 of each of them in the bank on my hunters. They might start at like 30-50k, but I imagine they’ll fall under 5-10k within a day or two, even on lower pop realms.

Also, MMO-Champ is fired. They had Whispering Reef with Murlocs listed as the Island for today. -.- It’s Naga.

Dyngdawng-sargeras · November 29, 2018, 11:53pm

Got the kunchong yesterday! And yes, I know there will be plenty for sale after 8.1 hits, I will be among those selling some extras

Wish I had enough charms to finish buying all the vendor pets, this expansion is too boring to level my army of alts…

Dulçinea-moon-guard · December 1, 2018, 5:30am

Only 3 I am missing are Snort, Coldlight Surfrunner and Kunchong Hatchling…Just am having no luck on drops.

The Coldlight Surfrunner must be dropping like crazy because a week ago there was only 1 on the AH for 500k, then 2 for abour 300k each now there are at least 5 on the AH and are selling for 55k each…I figured once they started dropping the AH prices would drop lol

Malorina-korgath · December 2, 2018, 4:06am

It would seem that it’s now dropping off all murloc and nagas.
