" first its oohing and ahhing and then its running and screaming "

Comment by Hippaw

Got this mount today. my skill is at 300, so atleast it is obtainable with that skill level.

Comment by heywoods

Got it today with 225 archaeology.

Comment by Chlorure

Just saying: we dont care you got it. We care about HOW you got it.

Comment by Irozal

If someone comes showing off with Swift Razzashi Raptor, just mount up this fella and say "So what ? Im riding with that things ancestor."

Comment by eryaviel

Takes 100 fossil fragments to complete, and as there are no fossil keystones, you'll be reliant on just surveying to complete this guy.

It also seems as if the proc rate is completely random. If you're lucky, you might be able to get it at a low level of Archaeology.

Happy digging!

Comment by collector

also, keystones are used to speed up the process of gathering fragments, only certain solves let you use keystones, fossils on the other hand don't have any. just got to dig up your 100 fossil fragments. get diggin, you will most likely get the mount before you max out archaeology if you get alot of fossil fragments.

Comment by Bugcatcher

Apparently pieces can repeat before you finish, My skill is 300 Ive covered only 8 of the fossil category and just received a repeat. Have not found pet or mount.

Comment by tylerrrgs

I'll take a picture of it in shadow form momentarily.

Comment by Serraphina

There is something unusual about these raptor bones.
Whenever you look away, they seem to move slightly on their own.

Just got this at 430 Archaeology after crafting a common Fossil item. I already have the pet as well, not sure if he is required for the mount or not. More than likely you'll get him along the way.

Comment by rhinoloupe

Does anybody know what the lowest level and lowest Archaeology skill level this can be acquired?There is no minimum skill requirement for this to appear. Some very lucky people have gotten this as their first fossil project.

However, it is rare and may not appear until much later; when it pops up for you is just luck. Most people seem to get it after 225. You also may have to make a lot of duplicate common fossil artifacts for it to proc.

P.S Wowhead comments are not your personal blog. We don't really need to know when you got it! :D

Comment by MMOSimca

There are a few comments that got negged in oblivion here that are actually useful.

The mount does not seem to require 225 Archaeology skill to obtain.

Several comments point to having 200-220 Archaeology and yet having obtained the mount. A friend on mine on the MMO-Champion IRC Channel confirmed that he was under 225 when -completed- his Raptor.

<Thoorium> http://www.massivestorm.com/content/images/wow/WoWScrnShot_122310_103811.jpg & http://www.massivestorm.com/content/images/wow/WoWScrnShot_122310_103943.jpg
<Thoorium> same date, but check the time I completed the raptor
<Thoorium> impossible that I could have done 225, discovered and completed the raptor in 1hour

If anyone knows how to pull achievement times from WoW Armory (WoWProgress does it for world firsts, so it has to be possible), then please do so on http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/tortheldrin/elemthor/achievement#169:15071
Specifically, his Expert in Archaeology achievement.

That would provide solid proof that he did not have 225 Archaeology when obtaining the mount, and give evidence that the mount probably requires either 150 or 200 Archaeology.

Comment by nobleknight

I didn't get this in my queue until I had completed every other fossil project. I only lacked the kraken tentacle as my last common, and once I completed that, the mount was the very next project that popped up. I don't know if not having a complete journal before had anything to do with it or not (I doubt it).

Edit: Repetitiveness is repetitive. And now fixed.

Comment by Kensanity

That's why it's a secondary profession. Everyone can learn it, so there is no need to make it BoE.

Comment by Satyriq

I have a level 60 twink on an account without any expansions, can I get this mount with the skilllevel I can aquire and the stuff needed in Kalimdor/Eastern?

Comment by sopor30

It became solvable for me at 485. However, I'd already been fortunate to get the Fossilized Hatchling much earlier, so I can't complain at all.

Also, this mount sounds something like a raptor from Jurassic Park (not exactly, mind you, but it made me think of the movie anyway).

Comment by Daimoth

You can theoretically start this artifact as soon as you train level 1 Archaeology. I've read reports of people getting it as their second artifact.

Insofar as Archaeology is concerned, if your level is high enough to find the artifacts for X race (in the cace of fossils - level 1), then you can find every artifact associated with that race - rare and common alike. Yes, I'm referring to fossils as a race.

I got mine my skeleraptor mount started 350's.

I've also read reports that this mount has four different skins, and that you get one of the four randomly. Can anybody confirm this?

Comment by celvax

I know solving the commons gives 5 skill ups, but how many skill ups do rares like this give?

Comment by Addunaj

I just got this after getting the hatchling and now I look forward to Blizz nerfing the mounting limitation while affected by Noggenfogger - it would be awesome to be a skeleton, riding a dino skeleton and having jr dino skeletonn by your side :)

Comment by samzon

are there a keystone for fossil ?

Comment by duhg

ok .. i'm at 525 arch, I am making some of the commons for the third time now. I still haven't seen the raptor mount.

Am I doing something wrong or is it just a total crap shoot as to what you get for the next item?

Comment by shukoroshi

It's even lower than that. I got this as my archaeology leveled to 271.

Comment by huntern

it is one of the coolset mount i WOW you can have it in 250

Comment by kjh71493

is mine bugged or am i the unluckiest person in wow because I got to 525 got the hatchling but still no raptor mount and it just keeps makin me do duplicate fossils ive already done, thiers not enough fossil sights for me to keep doin this all day i only find a site every 30 dif sites i check and its bummin me out i wanna get this mount alrdy

Comment by surfingbird

Ok, so this is my observation; whenever i get a rare i usually get through a couple of the other races artifacts before i have enough pieces to complete the rare and while I'm putting the rare together there are no other rare fossils that spawn in my queue to complete until i complete the rare that first spawned. I have also had back to back rares when I complete a large amount of commons in between.
Finally got mine shortly after 525 archeology, it was my 7th rare project and my 53 over all so don't think you will get this right away just because a handful of people get lucky with the projects

Comment by Anubi

Got mine at 380 skill level.

But mind that we should look at how many fossil projects we have completed before getting this one.
This because, unless you focus on a certain category, you usually progress in all fields, putting efforts in a single field only when a rare pop up.

I have completed my 12th fossil project (rare mini-raptor vanity pet among them) before the mount popped up.

Comment by Voljaa

Bit disappointed this isn't bind to account. I was looking forward to sending this to my new priest alt, I have no use for this as a worgen with a fairly large mount collection.

Move over, vampire horse on fire. The vampire skeleton dinosaur is here.

Comment by Flazien

How many people got the final fossil fragment for this, created the mount, learned it, mounted it, then instantly hearthed? Hordes upon hordes i tell ya.

Comment by biggieprice

This was my second fossil task. I don't believe their is a level restriction as my archeology level was somewhere in the 50 range. Luck was there for me.

Comment by Tenalady

Best way to farm this would be to keep your skill between 100-375 so you don't get unwanted digsites and stay on Eastern Kingdoms. Even though Kalimdor and EK have the same number of fossil digs, EK has less total dig sites, so the chances of fossil sites turning up are higher there than on Kal.

Got mine at skill level ~300 as my 20th fossil project, 90th total project.

Comment by halo2073

I got this after getting to about 330 archeology without getting a single rare. Remember, if you get this, you will have to farm ALL 100 due to there being no keystones or the such for fossils. Logically, fossils would not have any keystones.

Also I must be really lucky because after completing this craft, I received the raptor pet as the next puzzle to solve.

GL guys, I hope you get this.

Comment by efra

logically speaking, leveling the profession has to have a meaning and however it seems random, there should be a pattern of rares appearing while at level 100 and at level 525.

that being said, im assuming that rares pop up slightly more frequently as you level up, so i saved my fossils until 525. i solved projects only when i hit the 200 cap, so that i can farm more pieces. in the end, it appeared fairly soon after starting to solve them at a normal pace.

so briefly, yes, it seems to be random, but pushing your chances at level 100 is far less logical than doing it at 525. thats what i did and im happy with the result. besides, there is no difference between riding the mount 5 days later, given the hypothesis that it's more likely to mount it if i keep it for the last.

edit: oh i forgot to mention that i of course got the mount :p, and the pet. we are one big anorexic reptile family.

Comment by SilverSomething

Perfect Troll DK mount XD

Comment by Drain7

If any of you readers out there are going to farm this, I hope you have A LOT of time on your hands. You need to be really high with this prof for anything short of a miracle to see this artifact show up. It takes FOREVER to skill this prof up. If you think, oh, I'll just pick this up, come get my cool mount, and be on my way, lalala, think again. This is the longest prof grind I've ever seen, no doubt made to wastes dozens of hours of player's time to increase sub duration.

I can't say much to help except... don't use your fossils on junk unless you are capping those at 200. There's no point. You just waste them on 1-5g vendor trash if at a low skill lvl. Secondly, if you are high in the prof, stick to the right continent, it has a lot more fossil sites. The left is almost entirely night elf sites. Nothing else I can say... good luck? I wouldn't use fossils any sooner than 300 skill(Unless capping at 200 fossils, don't waste on the cap). I've read how some get it sooner since it's basically pure random... but ya. Unless you're the type to win the lottery... I don't recommend it.

To get the skill up easier, the only other thing you can do is never solve an artifact without keystones if they are able to be used on a solution. This will save you a great deal of fragments, which means less time farming them up. If you don't have any, or don't have enough, go buy them outa the AH. Keystones on my realm run for 75g each. If you can't afford it, then you shouldn't even have this prof. Profit wise it's a wretched waste. Although the raptor is free, you will have spent thousands of gold on it in all the wasted time sunk working towards it that you "could" have spent doing something actually profitable. Just an FYI.

Comment by Tormentia

Lowest possible level is about 50 as you level up by gathering the shards needed for this, so a MINIMUM of 50 is requirement.

Comment by Swordy

Open the door, get on the floor
Everybody ride the dinosaur

Comment by tehaette89

i was just thinking are u completely sure to get this mount during your archaology or is it just some hwo will get it?

Comment by impwned

Same model as Living Fossil http://www.wowhead.com/npc=41388#drops

Comment by Quackie

Just keep completing solves for the other races. The more rares you complete for them, the more digsites for the ones you don't have will pop up.

My raptor mount solve popped at 425, finally a bit of good luck in this game. Now to find those 100 artifacts...

Comment by Amoreyna

Just for anyone feeling frustrated that they didn't see this proc yet in their book - I didn't get this until skill level 477 after I had completed both the fossilized raptor pet and the troll voodoo doll pet along with 4 other rares. Don't give up if you've maxed out your skill and still haven't found it yet. I honestly thought I wasn't going to see it before I hit max and 98% of my arch was spent in EK where there are a ton of fossil sites though RNG seemed to heavily favor troll for me.

So keep digging, not all of us get it at a low level.

Comment by sopor30

Doesn't seem to be as "rare" as most of the archaeology rares. I've done archaeology on two characters and both have gotten this mount early on.

The first one got this before he reached 525, although I don't remember when exactly, and my second character got it at 450. On my second toon, I've spent nearly all of my time in the Eastern Kingdoms, as there appears to be more fossil sites (although I could be wrong on this) and it's easy to work your way up (or down) the continent and "push" sites as you go. What I did discover is that I solved 30 Troll, 18 Dwarf and only 13 Fossil before I finally got it. So, in a nutshell, you're going to be getting a lot more Troll and Dwarf solves if you stick in the Eastern Kingdoms.

Comment by sziszi2000

best mount for an undead shadowpriest ^^

Comment by mummer

Does anyone know what the chances are of getting it?
and can anything be done to improve them?

Comment by Marlborol

This finally showed up for me at skill 480. I think once you are digging in Kalimdor exclusively to get Tol'vir dig spots to appear, you chances to obtain this are higher because by default you are digging more fossil sites just to get the Tol'vir ones to appear.

At lower levels I tried digging only fossil sites for the mount and it wasn't until I was in Kalimdor only for Tol'vir spots that I was chain solving fossil artifacts when this appeared.

Comment by Bacondonut

Most of the comments here are speculation about what lvl you have to be in order to get the mount. I can put that discussion to rest.

Visit your character's profile on Blizzard's web site. Go to professions, and then archaeology. It lists every single thing you can get with the profession and actually lists what the minimum profession level is in order to get the item.

The minimum profession level required for the Fossilized Raptor mount is 40. When it pops up for you is just luck.

The Official Mount of Troll DKs

Comment by Spankypants

Have been farming this mount for absolutely ages on my main. I have full arch skill, have found both rare fossil pets, the ancient amber, and 24 common fossils. I am getting extremely frustrated now! Everyone I've talked to seems to have gotten the mount within 10 fossil completions.
So just a warning, might take you ages to get too :(

Comment by benfisher

got this mount at 450 skill level ... worth it though =)

Comment by krismath

I've wanted this so i reached 280 in archeaology, but i didn't get it im 525 now. anyone knows if anything got changed?

Comment by Sebjuul

I got this after my 25'th fossil solve, just for your information. Besides that, it HAS been blue-confirmed that the chance it procs is 100 % random. A relatively often order though is, Ancient Amber -> Fozziled Hatchling -> Pterrordax Hatchling -> Fozziled Raptor.

It required 100 Fossil fragments.

Cheers, and good luck farming it.

Comment by Conks

got the pet on my 19th then right after got the mount

all in all think im doing alright, 2 days leveling it i have gotten 11 rares

Comment by CaesarSux

i just got mine, haunted war drum, and clockwork gnome all in one night. oh and all happened right after i became a grandmaster of arch. bow.

if youre stil asking how to get this mount just keep fkn digging. no QQ

Comment by BamBam13

I have been bored lately on WOW. Decided to level up Archeology. I was at level 370 when I saw the fossilized raptor artifact. I thought it was a companion until I solved the artifact and realized it was a mount. Rare items that I have recieved so far in Fossil tab are amber, fossilzed hatchling, and fossilized raptor. I have recieved six rare artifacts in the two days I have leveled 1-370. I must be lucky with this profession.

Comment by jaktak

At any point in time there are four available dig sites on each continent that you have the skill level for. You are looking for fossil dig sites, which only occur on Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms (not Northrend). If you don't see any fossil dig sites then dig the ones you do see until a fossil dig site appears.

On Kalimdor there are 60 dig sites, 14 of which are fossil digsites. Ie 23% of the dig sites on Kalimdor are fossil dig sites.

In the Eastern Kingdoms there are 55 dig sites 13 of which are fossil dog sites. Ie 24% of dig sites in the Eastern Kingdoms are fossil dig sites.

These figures are rounded and there is actually only 0.3% difference between them. So either continent is just as good as the other, realistically.

Comment by GingaDensetsu

Went from 1-525 in Archeolog way before this mount dropped for me. Took me about 30 hours of grinding to get.

Highly reccomend Easter Kingdoms, as you often will find yourself with alot of Fossil digsites in Western and Eastern Plaguelands.

Comment by Hilbert

First fossil rare: Fossilized Hatchling
Second fossil rare: Fossilized Raptor
5th rare overall :)!

Comment by karaliss

BEST MOUNT EVAAAR!

Comment by Fenrisvargen

Just got it :) After 37hrs non-stop farming on my 33-solve :D
And I mean Kalimdor is the best place for farming this + u may get the blue battle tank from Tol'vir ;o
Happy digging

Comment by Bekkaboo

I have been doing Archaeology for quite some time on my level 24 twink (Gwyndolyn of Executus), and today this project popped up for her. It will be her 9th Archaeology rare, and she is shooting for the title for obtaining ten. Her skill cannot go past 225, and the only digsites she can get are Night Elf, Dwarf, and Fossil. I'm just disappointed I can't use the mount! :P

Comment by OptimalNorway

Complete Guide on how to be best friend with Fossilized Raptor.

1. Be Undead or Troll.
2. Be a Death Knight.
3. Have the Fossilized Hatchling summoned.
4. Be Mounted on the Fossilized Raptor.
5. Drink Noggenfogger Elixir until you Stop to Breathe and Become smaller.

Being Undead tells the Raptor that you are Living Dead, like itself, while being a Troll indicates your long Relationship Racial.
Being a Death Knight shows the rapter that you are the master of the Undead.
Having the Raptor Companion indicates that you are an friend-group.
Sitting on the Raptor indicates your close friendship.
Drinking the Noggenfogger shows that you are willing to Sacrifice your life in Order to become like them. Becoming small may increase the connection with your Companion, where you are at an more similar size.

Comment by Gemstars

This popped for me today while I was capped at 300 skill level.
My third Fossil rare after Ancient Amber at around 140 and Fossilized Hatchling also at 300 cap. There was one common artifact between the hatching and the mount :D
My sixth rare artifact overall!

Comment by arsan2013

I started archaeology 2 days ago and already capped out at 600 and still HAVEN'T gotten this mount from fossil digging. Grrrr

Comment by wailer

I got to 600 skill in archeology, i kept searching for 15 hours or so, still no mount, im so pissed >.< found amber, hatchling and im about to solve the other companion now, fossil digsites are so rare for me, but i guess blizzard felt my pain and the next day i found ghostcrawler after camping for about 10 seconds and no earlier attempt. :)

$%^& this mount and this proffesion! too much RNG :(

Comment by bruuh

Got to 450 and this was the first fossil I ever dug up. I apparently need to go buy a lottery ticket.

Comment by PharaohFire

I finally got this mount last night. It was one of the main reasons I leveled Archy and I couldn't be happier.
Since it is account-wide, I'm definately going to be switching over my 'land' mounts to this fine specimen of bones. I know it's not an epic achievement or even all that special anymore - but it is STILL an awesome mount.

Comment by DragonsBlood

Got this one today, sadly at 525 skill while i was farming archaeology in Duskwood. Funny thing is that while I was farming this,a gnome mage showed up, he was around level 20 and needed help with a quest, so i decided to help him. I have put free for all so I could farm,and after we finished his quest, after digging up the last fragments,the solve for the raptor came up. So that little gnome was like a lucky charm, esspecialy considering the fact that i hate gnomes ( no offence you little guys) :P I gave him 500 gold for the "luck" :) This comment ain't really helpful, but I'm bored,and eh, its Valentine's day lol

Happy downrating to you too :)

Comment by Akitnaya

After 4 long months of doing Archaeology, I got this mount tonight!

Matches my Fossilized Hatchling perfectly!

NOTE 2 ALL:
I kept doing all the other Archaeology (mainly in Pandaria, either Mantid, Pandaren or Mogu) & when I completed them I crated the artifacts & then went to The Seat of Knowledge in Mogushan's Palace in Pandaria & bought Crate of Fossil Archaeology Fragments from the lil dwarf guy (Brann Bronzebeard) & kept completing my Fossil Archaeology till today, when I FINALLY completed the fragments to the Fossilized Raptor!

(It was the "lazy" way of doing things but I got tired of flying all over Kalimdor then zepplin-ing it 2 the Eastern Kingdom, flying all over there & then flying all over Pandaria. IMO, it's easier to just stay in Pandaria.)

Good luck grinding!

Comment by Twizm

Funny how this mount has the same model as the Living Fossil who roam the Whelgar's Excavation Site in Wetlands, but it's not Fossil Archaeology Fragments that's surveyed, it's Dwarf Archaeology Fragments...

Comment by Spiritoftime

Just Discovered it with 600 arch by using the resotred artifact and buying Crate of Fossil arch fragments.

Comment by Expected

I was so exited today. This mount have been bugging me for quite some time now, but earlier today I discovered that my next Fossil find would be Pterrordax Hatchling and of course I was happy as hell.

Anyways, just when I solved that puzzle I was surprised. Not just surprised, but I mean - Happy! Oh, the joy! I discovered that my next fossil would be this raptor (At first I thought it was another hatchling but nop.. - Soon I'll get the mount.)

I was however even more happy by the time I got my Rivendares Deathcharger by an accident.

Oh well, now I'll farm for the rest of my fossil's to hatch this mount!

Edit: I'm a level 88 rogue with 600 in Archeology. :)

Comment by Letago0

This Mount Has The Same Model As Bloodlord Mandokir's Raptor Ohgan In The 4.1 Zul'gurub.

Comment by Drevik

At 600 skill, after buying a ton of crates of fossil pieces and still had not got it.

Then, I completed the achievement called "It's always the last place you look."

The next fossil project after the completion of that achievement was the mount. So, my suggest is complete the achievement and then see if the next fossil project that becomes available is the mount as that is what finally worked for me.

Comment by Conditioned

As an Undead I feel strangely at home riding this lil fella.

Comment by Robisapirate

ive maxed out my archaeology trying to find this god damn thing, i just got the hatchling, ive been doing this for 3 days straight and its pissin me off

Comment by alloyzen

Here's the info a level 1 Archaeologist needs to get started finding your own Fossilized Raptor:

Fossil dig sites seem to be rarer than the other types of dig sites, with Night Elf being the most popular
Get the Archy addon so that you know what types of fragments each dig site will give you. The Archy addon will also track the locations of successful digs to make your life easier later on.
Since Fossil fragments only show up on Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms you should only dig on those two continents.
Level up your Archaeology by digging only non-fossil sites until you get to level 75. This way once you hit the level requirement you have a high number of Fossil dig sites.
Helpful hint: You can also get a mount by solving Tol'vir artifacts, so you may want to dig those with pritority over Night Elf artifacts

With any luck you'll get the Fossilized Raptor artifact within the first couple solves.

Comment by shukines

Maxed archeology to 600 in one day from 12.00-20.00 then i was just completing fossil artifacts when it dropped 5 mins after i maxed it :p
I used a few addons and it was really fun. (Archy and Archeo helper)

Comment by SweetJohnnyCage

Got this mount started on 8/22/2013. I had to go through all of these before it came up:

devilsaur tooth (most recent)
twisted ammonite shell
beautiful preserved fern
black trilobite
vicious ancient fish
strange velvet work
ancient shark jaws
shard of petrified wood
imprint of a kraken tentacle
feathered raptor arm
proto-drake skeleton
insect in amber

pterrodax hatchling
fossilized hatchling
ancient amber

600 Archaeology done 100% through Eastern Kingdoms. Good luck!

EDIT: Also, looking through my Arch journal, I'm also working on a rare artifact from the Nerubians, so you can most certainly work on two rares at the same time. Not sure if people still thought you couldn't.

Comment by deose

I've been leveling Archaeology while waiting in LFR Queues (As a DPS, that's about 45-60min wait times). This mount came up as my 6th fossil artifact. Ancient Amber was my 3rd fossil artifact. I did nothing special other than dig in the closest dig site to me. I don't think there is any strategy to "get" it. It just happens.

Comment by Stargazer777

Just got this great mount after farming every fossil bed I could find, and sadly it does NOT count toward any of the mount achieves like We're Going to Need More Saddles "We're Going to Need More Saddles." :(

UPDATE: After logging onto alts with class mounts (warlock & death knight) the Raptor mount registered in the count! :D I recommend trying this if your counter is off.

Comment by Starburned

600 skill and still haven't found it. It seems to be completely random with no relation to archaeology skill.

Comment by jstrahan

What do you do if you get a second one?

Comment by Frostil

"Hey guys only 75 Archaeology skill and 2nd drop"... Are you kidding me 600 Archaeology skill and been farming since Cataclysm, gotten every single pet from fossils but nope, This mount would fit my troll DK perfect to...

On a side note are fossil dig sites supposed to be rare? Because I literally have to farm for an hour just to get ONE

Comment by Delyser

I started the archaeology, and after 2 days, i got it.

Comment by Mormolyce

From the new mount descriptions:

"Legends tell of a spell placed upon a hunting raptor who dared to snarl at young Tyrande Whisperwind as she bathed in a jungle pool. The beast is cursed to wander Azeroth - until it apologizes."

This is a humorous reference to Tiresias, who stumbled upon Athena bathing and she struck him blind for seeing her nudity. He also got turned into a woman, but that's another story...

Comment by Czsixteen

Pft... 85 solves for Fossils and over 200 Tol'vir and I still don't have either mount. What a load.
