The dragonling will be a level equal to your engineering skill/5 (Gnomes will have level 63 dragonlings). Deals about 70 damage to a level 60 mob, 2.0 attack speed. Also occasionaly breathes fire, which deals 300 damage and makes fire spells on that mob do up to 60 extra damage. This ability stacks with itself, but I've never seen it breathe more then twice in one outing. Debuff lasts about 30 seconds. Very little health.

Fun litte item, adds about 60dps while its up and is a nice buff for fire mages. Rather expencive to produce for the effect though.

Comment by Thottbot

what kinda damage does this thing do?

Comment by Thottbot

Everyone so far has posted that they can make it which is useless to someone like myself who hasn't even decided if its worth it yet.

Can anyone give some stats on it?

Comment by Thottbot

Sure. Send materials 350g worth AND an addtional fee to a person and OF COURSE he will return the materials to you. Soon. Maybe tomorrow. I promise. Honestly. Trust me.

1.) Stand next to the person and let him/her wear an item that can only be worn by an engineer with 300 skill
2.) Find at least two people who know this person who say he/she is trustworthy
3.) Give person materials
4.) Get arcanite dragonling back for production fee

OR

3.) Exchange the mats to the person for what they are worth, meaning you get the GOLD from the engineer and give the materials. Now you might have lost the items but you got their golds worth.
4.) Person makes arcanite dragonling
5.) You buy the items back with the gold you just got from the engineer plus the production fee

Don't be so stupid and TRUST people in an online game. From 50 gold upwards, every deal with someone you don't know directly and for MONTHS should be done like this. Otherwise you'll most likely quit the game over something like this.

Comment by Thottbot

Its missleading to say that the dragonlings share cooldown with one another. Yes, using one dragonling causes a 60 second cooldown on the others, so you cant have them out simultaneously, but they don't trigger the hour cooldown. So you can use your arcanite dragonling if you get in a jam, then switch to mithril as backup while the arcanite recharges.

Comment by Thottbot

In 1.9, trinket pets (or at least dragonlings, I don't have any others to try) are no longer on "defensive" pet mode. They're now on "aggressive" mode, so if use it to get you out of a jam, they will fly off after the fight and aggro any other mobs that are within range (the mob will promptly smack them down and then come over to get you).

Makes them remarkably less useful.

Comment by Thottbot

noone cares if you can make it, or how much you will make it for..
people come here to figure out what kind of damage/life this thing has, so post something usefull k thx

Comment by Thottbot

At patch 1.10
The dragonling does about 82 dmg a hit, and sometimes flames up to 400.
When it flames it stacks on a debuff called Flame Buffet which increases fire dmg done to the mob by 63 per stack. Mine stacked on 3 before it died, debuff lasted maybe about a minute.
Might be useful in a raid with lots of fire spells around

Comment by Thottbot

these things die in like 5 hits so you have to hold the aggro

Comment by Thottbot

When this dies can you loot it like target dummy?

Comment by Thottbot

trinkets dont die, u just use them again after the cooldown....

Comment by Thottbot

Each dragonling is unique, meaning you can only have one of each on you at one time.

Even if the dragons had seperate timers, I don't think you'd want to have two. The only way to have two soulbound uniques is if you keep at least one of them in vendor limbo. Eventually, you'd have to log off and all that arcanite would be gone for good.

Comment by Thottbot

Not sure if anyone else posted about this (long threads), but the Battle Chicken/Mechanical Dragonlings can detect stealth very easily if you take the time to level up your engineering early.

I'm currently playing a 30-39 Mage BG twink, and my level 60 pets detect stealth from about 20-30 yards away (!). It's quite satisfying to see my chicken go flying across the map, then peck at a stealthed rogue/druid for 1 damage :D

Edit: I suppose this comment doesn't apply as much as it does to the other ones, since this requires level 50. It's something to keep in mind, however :O)

Comment by Thottbot

With lvl 300 eng you can get a lvl 60 mechanical pet.

(eng lvl)/5 = pet lvl

With the expac you can get up to 375 eng. That makes your mechanical pets lvl 75! dd in the gnome racial of +15 eng and you have a lvl 78 pet. 8 lvls higher than you can get as a player. Dose anyone know if there are going to change the pet scaling?

Comment by Thottbot

I read the post above about how many pets you could have in theory. They didn't take into account shared cooldowns - you can't have Arcanite Dragonling + Barov Peasant Caller as they both share the same cooldown.

Therefore the maximum you could have would be:
1) Hunter pet or lock pet or mage elemental
2) Regular pet (cat, snake, etc...)
3) Battle chicken
4-6) Barov peasent caller (brings 3 peasants out)
7-11) Alliance rat quest (have 5 rats following you)
12) Gnomish mind control an enemy (or set up a duel with a friend and mind control them if none are around)
13) A summonable item (Compact Harvest Reaper Kit, Mechanical Yeti, Explosive Sheep, etc)
14) Gnomish Alarm-O-Bot (or target dummy, both on the same cooldown)
15) That orphan that follows you around on the Children's Day only quest

LOL. Now if anyone can do that...

EDIT: Moonkin! 3 treants anyone? That would make the total 17.

Comment by Thottbot

forgot to say above, if you didn't already know. Take your engineering skill, and divide by 5, ignoring any remainder. That is your pets level.

Comment by Thottbot

um you cant Mind control w/ engineering cap and have your main pet out at the same time :P

warlocks and hunters cant have pets and mind control someone at the same time

Comment by Thottbot

Automelee DoTs are handy.

I love both this and my battlechicken, mostly for AV.
With arcane crystals being only like 5g on my server, it's mats are cheaper than it's overall value.

In AV, should I be at a node alone or attacking node taggers, which happens a lot, I'll hurredly swap out my stat trinkets and cycle them; the two pets, to prevent being sapped or nuked beyond chance of retaliating or to interrupt players trying to tag. They'll see through stealth preventing anything but a well played shadowstep or stealth sprinting rogue with perfect timing. The chicken is best fopr this with it's fast attack speed. Their attacks slow down casting times, they occupy ice traps of hunters, sneak their pets agg off you, etc.

Pity it's only at best 1 use of each per AV.

The chicken lasts 30 secs longer so can be cycled through the top trinket slot easily, used, and followed by the dragonling, mithril or arcanite to have one summoned, then both out for the maximum dragonling duration, then unsummon together at 90 secs protection, 60 of which with yer stat trinkets in place.

Or if I wanna gank someone bad or have them gank a lowbie.

If you have the chicken coz yer gnomish, you MUST get this, mithril or otherwise.

Plus, for extra leetness, one can hit their https://www.wowhead.com/forever/item=31337 and feel special. I enjoyed doing that after a nice gank just yesterday.

What does it look like?

Can make on Khaz Modan Alliance server. Very fun toy.

Mail Aldeia and I'll get back to you that night or next morning.

Comment by Allakhazam

If you have trained the schematic you need to know that although the trinket is BoE and therefore tradeable, it is "UNIQUE" which means you can only have one on you at a time, therefore if you equip one, you can never make another one unless you destroy your own. Dare I say, there is a lovely exploit which allows you to make more than one, but my lips are sealed. (and no, putting yours in the bank doesn't work)

In my opinion, the dragon is way worth the cost. Use it on a rogue, and it sees the rogue in stealth. While squaking and screeching to let you know its on task, it blows 350 fire damage and pecks for 90-150 damage. In the coarse of a fight <<because pvp opponents don't realize the damage it is doing, and don't stop to kill it>> it will do atleast 1500 damage, as well as slow down the movement of mellee, and interrupt your caster foes.
Also, because these dragons are so rare, when I use mine, Horde actually stop for a second to examine it, before continueing their assault.
In PVE, its like a reusable targeting dummy, handy for when you need to clear 3 or more mobs to get at a treasure chest.
As far as the one hour cooldown, if you have a bag full of trinkets to rotate through, its not a big deal.

wonder if u can drop it off in stables if not im sure u could just sell temporarly :P to have 2

Comment by Allakhazam

The problem with beeing able to make one is... You are able to make ONE.
If you play on a very full Server, no time of the day is save enough to prevent you from a disconnect. You can try and sell your Drangonling to the NPC, build one for a friend/customer and buy your's back, but your risking to loose your Dragonling (and with this a lot of gold).
No payment for making one could be that good...

Comment by Allakhazam

i know where to get these for FREE!i will say it on this forum or what ever it's called when i have 100 gold, if anyone wanna give me mone so i can reach 100g faster my ingame name is Mazt or Bobba and im on the European server called Moonglade=P

Comment by Allakhazam

I am confused about the statement will fight for "0" seconds. What does that mean?

"Use: Activates your Arcanite Mechanical Dragonling to fight for you for 0 seconds. It requires an hour to cool down before it can be used again"

back to back or does using one mean the other is also on a 1 hour cooldown? I can't seem to find this out. I thank you for any insight into this.

Just kill some priest pretty easy, 65 lvl Arcanite dragonling is awesome

Comment by Allakhazam

I just made myself one of these the other day, then afterwards I estimated the cost...

Schematic: 75g-100g

Arcanite: 8x34g = 272g
Ironweb spider silk: 8x1g = 8g
Enchanted leather: 6x3g = 18g
Enchanted Thorium: 10x2g = 20g
Thorium Widget: 4x3g = 12g
Gold Power core: 4x50s = 2g

Mithril Mechanical dragonling:
Mithril Bar: 14x = 3g
Heart of Fire: 4x3g = 12g
Truesilver Bar: 4x50s = 2g
Inlaid Mithril Cylinder: 2x2g = 4g
Goblin rocket Fuel: 2x50s = 1g
Star Ruby: 2x1g = 2g

Grand Total: 356g
(431 if you need the schematic)

I made one then put it in the AH for 400g-600buyout but had no buyers. I think part of the reason is that this item does not show up if someone is searching for Armor-miscellaneous-Trinkets which is where I would suspect to find it. Perhaps there is a bug not registering it as a trinket.

I then decided just to use this thing, and I can confirm that the dragonling is lvl 65 and the cooldown is one hour. It's a great trinket for PvP or if you want to solo rare mobs that you cannot do without a little extra help.

Anyway, the point of my post is to give people the breakdown of how much this thing costs to make so that they know what they are getting into. Also, people see 400g and think I'm crazy, but hopefully they can look at this post now and see why it costs so much. I highly suggest being able to get some of these items on your own, especially the arcanite if you're a miner, otherwise don't try and make this.

Comment by Allakhazam

Just picked one up from AH - 200g, can't wait to try it :)

Can make these on Ysondre US pst in game if your'e interested

Comment by Allakhazam

how good is Arcanite Dragling really?

is it worth making?

Comment by Allakhazam

Got one now on Shadowsong, works very nicely. I've got a selection of about 8 trinkets that I rotate through so cooldowns are not a problem. The materials are costly but this is a trinket that you can use for months of play, it's not going to be replaced after 1-2 weeks.

Comment by Allakhazam

can craft on bloodhoof

Comment by Allakhazam

But with a refresh of 1 hr on it. its a toy.. really..

Comment by Allakhazam

It very much does so have a cooldown, 1 hour just the same as the others... 300g down the drain, whee.

Comment by Allakhazam

can a worlock use it with his pet up mhahaha =)

Comment by Allakhazam

you can stack any engineer pet with your own, but you can only have 2 trinkets, so at best, dragon+chicken+yours.

this is about only reason to go past 250 in engineering, it looks very worth the costly run to 300, what i want to know is if using this one, or mithril dragonling, will use cooldown of any of them?

Comment by Allakhazam

It says on the schematic 1 hour cool time

Comment by Allakhazam

I can make this on Cenarius Alliance

Contact me in Game: Hershi

Comment by Fatherfury

Just a note, this is unique. So if you already have equipped one and try craft it for others you won't be able too.

Comment by Dirkaisaku

Tested today, Jan 2020 - the Flame Buffet debuff stacks up to 5 times, Arcanite Dragonling has roughly a 10% chance to cast it (but with a 2.0 attack speed and a separate Flame Breath spell with a long cast time, it may be a while between debuff applications). The tooltip is misleading and the debuff does not work like Hemmorrhage or Gift of Arthas; it actually adds the "fire damage taken" amount as bonus spellpower to any fire spell damage dealt to it. Note that fire damage consumables such as Oil of Immolation or Dense Dynamite do not scale with spell power, and don't benefit from this.

Edit: My original plan was to combine this with Flametongue Totem for incredible raid melee dps, but, Flametongue Totem sadly does not scale with spellpower despite numerous comments claiming otherwise - they are posting about FT Totem when they mean FT Weapon.
