So I have read every single thing I could find about this rare and still cannot understand what is wrong. I have been exalted with Order of the Awakened for ages and I have also had the Jungle Stalker achievement for a long time.
I purchased the Master Hunter’s Seeking Crystal (the Epic one) and I have been using it every 15m for over 5 hours now. I have re-killed every single rare in the entire zone aside from Rendrak and High Priest Ikzan and still; nothing.
I can see that neither of them are up so I will go to the area where Xemirkol is and use the item. Nothing happens aside from it telling me there is nothing nearby – even though apparently, if there are no rares up and you’ve completed the above criteria, you should always end up being ported to Xemirkol.
So what exactly is going on? I am at my wits end at this point. I have wasted over 5 hours trying to get this stupid rare so I can finally have Tanaan Jungle completed.
*So after 6 and a half hours, tried turning Warmode off and it worked instantly – what an absolutely ridiculous thing to solve this problem

I am in the same situation. I meet all the conditions for Xemirkol to spawn and the NPC will not show up. I have tried this at the same frequency as the issue reported above, switched between warmode active/inactive to try to reproduce with no success.
Efforts up to this point are running at 6 weeks, minimum 2 hours a day in attempts, with no luck.
Checked Wowhead and other players are having this issue as well, wanted to report here. Apologies for the necro-thread but this is my exact issue as well. Will open a new ticket if that is required and willing to provide any additional data upon request.
Thank you.

I just tried this as soon as the servers came back up today with Warmode On and Warmode Off using the Hunter’s Seeking Crystal - sat on it every 15 minutes for hours over the last couple days as well. Unless the boss doesn’t respawn with the server restart, seems as though something is broken.

This is what i’ve been saying. I think players who are really trying to obtain this title need to start reporting the bug in an actual ticket, get a GM response and hope they actually do something and don’t just say “well its a rare so its gonna be rare” even though we’re all struggling with the same poodoo fact that its not even a rare right now, it’s just straight up not in the game. Big difference.

I have also been trying for this rare for a few months. I’ve tried many times to be on right as servers come online. WM on WM off. It’s never there.

What a GM will say is either “there are no known issues, please submit a bug report” or “this is a known issue, we don’t know when it will be fixed, please submit a bug report.”
Which you’ve already done, posting here, so bothering a GM will accomplish exactly nothing.

I recall during WoD that he spawned very irregularly.
This NPC was designed as a rare spawn when you trigger the hunting gem. But I never had any problem getting it within half a dozen attempts, so if it’s taking longer than that, it might be really bad luck or genuinely broken (which is the problem with RNG).
But if you’re expecting to immediately find this mob the moment you’re eligible, that’s not how this was designed to work.
I recall the opposite. Players left & right had this badass title during the final few months of WoD. So if it was so easy then, it should be 10393911k times easier now.
Yeah and that’s what the current issue is with this particular rare. He’s not currently a rare, just straight up not in the game. A rare will still sometimes spawn within their respective spawn timer. Xemirkol currently never spawns as of TWW launch from what I’ve been reading from everyone who has farmed or is currently farming this guy in the past year. The successful recorded kills stopped in DF.

That’s because when someone found him up they always made a group to help others. Now there’s next to nobody there who is at the point where they need to kill him.
Well I’m often farming him in Warmode anyway and I promise you there’s no one in Tanaan in that phase on my server, not even on a Tuesday fresh after maintenance. WoD zones are pretty typically dead especially in WM phases. I’m always the only person there so I alone should’ve been able to have seen him by now since there hasn’t been anyone there to kill him.
Exactly. I did all the rep and achieves for WOD in Season 4 DF. Only thing left is this Predator thing. During the whole process of doing tanaan reps and achieves I saw like 3 people. This was multiple weeks and I barely ever saw another player. This rare should not be this hard to get even if it’s on a 24hr spawn. I’ve tried at all sorts of diff times and like i said MANY times at server reset on Tuesday morning. It’s borked imo

My impression is that it’s not on any fixed respawn duration. It appeared to me to be actually spawned at random when someone used the hunting gem and the dice fell right.
Of course, that’s just how it looked to me. There could be other explanations, such as it spawning but invisible unless you have the buff from the jewel, in which case a problem might be either the spawn or visibility.
I suppose I wouldn’t be shocked if the devs accidentally broke this. They’ve already been shown to break many unrelated bits of content everytime they touch the code.

I have completely killed all rares in the zone over a single day multiple times, even having done so right up to the server reset (and before dailies reset) and he didn’t spawn.
I think changes to account-wide achievements borked the requirement fulfillment.

I’ve spent the last two weeks trying to kill Xemirkol, for the Predator achievement. I’m about ready to quit.
After scouring as many different forums and videos as possible, in case I missed something for the achievement. Multiple times I’ve cleared all the Rares. I’ve used both Hunter’s Crystals to no avail.
It would seem that we all have the same problem. The NPC is bugged and not spawning at all. No one has seen Xem in months. I’ve sent an ingame bug report. Hopefully if enough players do so, Blizzard might fix the issue.
Safe Journey and Good Hunting!

Hopefully they’ll have a real human read it instead of some AI just go “well its a rare so its gonna be a rare spawn” and not consider the facts we’ve given it, like thanks bro tell us something we didn’t already know for the past 3 months.

Apparently from what ive found surfing the web, ever since TWW prepatch dropped blizz messed up his spawn. He flat out doesnt spawn anymore according to several sources. I myself have been spawn camping for almost 2 weeks, using the crystal just about on cd(give or take a minute or two) and have never seen him. Ive submitted a bug report but I HIGHLY doubt blizz will do anything about it.
