Quickest way to get a proto drake

Post by Zullan

Anyone know the easiest / fastest way to get a proto drake?

Hope your luckly enough to kill the Time-lost?

10man Ulduar hardmodes. Did all but 2 last Saturday night, just got too late at night to keep going. With decent ToCr gear you'll breeze through it.

I guess if you're really lucky the Green one would be the way to go...

Post by Arathian

depends? Do you feel lucky?
Green,time-lost or blue are the ones you should go for.
Are you in a very good guild?
Rusty,iron or red protos are the ones you aim for.

None of them are both really easy and really fast unless you're also really lucky.

Red is easiest if ya got some friends who are interested in doing achievements

It's by no means quick however. Some of them are literally impossible to do in one day. If you're really lucky I think you could do the entire meta acheivement in 3 nights.

It's easy to get a Proto. Buy an Oracle egg every week for a chance at the green proto. Do all the heroic dungeon achievements and hopefully get a red proto. Or you can go for the violet proto but that takes a year.

I have all 3. I started trying to get them around the same time and I got them about a month apart from each other a year after I started D:

Not a protodrake, but I bribed some Raid-geared friends with Epic Gem cuts to run me through HCoS timed. Bronze drake easy-peasy.

Green/Time-Lost/Blue are 100% luck. You could get one tomorrow, or you might never get one after playing for years.

So I'd say red is the easiest to get. It requires that you complete all of the 5-man heroic achievements (except for the 3 HToC achievements). Most of the achievements are rather easy to complete. However, several require unusual group compositions (4-man runs, dual tanks, 4 DPS, etc.), multiple trips to the same instance, and in one case a group with very strong DPS capability.

Red may be the easiest, but it still requires quite a bit of time and effort. As others have said, if you're in a raiding guild that can farm hard modes then it would be quicker to grab the rusted proto-drake. Otherwise, red is the one to shoot for.

ulduar 10 man hard modes arent that hard, except 2
and since your asking to get a proto im guessing your not in the best gear around just yet, so getting firefighter and one light in the dark might just be a bit tricky

while were on the topic, i havent seen any black proto-drakes anymore

Post by Adamsm

The Black and Plagued drakes were removed when Ulduar came out, so only those lucky enough to get the achieves before that patch have them.

Plagued
Black

I've been very busy farming Wyrmrest rep for the Red Drake, have only gotten halfway.
Was running a H CoS daily the other day. I D/Ced at the beginning, and kept lagging and felt so bad.
When I caught up, my group was nuking the special timed mob dude, and quick as a flash I remembered that I could get a drake from this run.
Before I know it, the reigns pop up before me as loot, I hit need and I win them. I totally wasn't expecting it, and I felt bad because I was lagging and felt like I hadn't contributed to the group.

Still, my troll hunter looks good riding the bronze drake.
Unfortunately the drake isn't as rare any more >.>

Drake.

Proto - Drake.

Not the same thing.

Drakes are easily obtained through a variety of sources, and I don't think this is what OP is asking about.

Proto - Drakes are generally a lot harder to get, hence asking for the quickest way to get one.

(Spoiler - there are very few quick and easy things in WoW, apart from maybe Shave and a Haircut).
