Seeking the Long-Forgotten Hippogryph

Par Purgatorywolf Actualisé : 09/09/2018

I was having a conversation with my friend Tale about this mount. He was telling me about how he was 4/5 crystals and spent 4 hours trying to find them all before he just gave up and went to bed. We talked about how many locations there are to check, and that the information is so spread out over comments, pages, and other sites, and that he even found some not listed on what he did manage to find. So, I figured, why not collect all the information out there, that I can find, and just make a WoWHead guide for it. I'm actually a bit surprised there isn't one already. World of Punks did a great guide, but some people don't like going off-site. However, if you would like to view screenshots of the majority of these locations, they have plenty to view over there!Long-Forgotten HippogryphEphemeral CrystalsTaleREMEMBER this is a RACE*Special Note: You should avoid leaving the zone, or phasing into another server while you are hunting for crystals.

Awesome, Purg! It was thanks to the post you made in a comment on Rênes de l'hippogriffe oublié depuis longtemps that I was finally able to get all five crystals a couple of days after I had to give up on that 4-out-of-5 night. Well done!

Commentaire de Mondoblasto

Awesome guide! I used the Paste//TomTom coords method and got my mount!

If you're the winner, the Hippogriffe oublié depuis longtemps will spawn hovering in front of you and casts Cyclone arcanique on you for some reason, but it doesn't actually do anything.

A quirk for me is that the mount did not appear in my bags, but only because I didn't realize they were full. No need to panic, however! As with other items, Thaumaturge Vashreen will mail it to you as a lost item.

One final thing is that I had to take a break after my fourth crystal, due to some motion sickness starting to kick in after a very long search for the fifth and not having found it. I let my character /AFK logout to the character menu, then logged back in from there once I was good to go.

Commentaire de zazimee

Thank you so much for this guide!

I can confirm the following waypoints:
/way Azsuna 49.39,27.70 (Next to a tree as you enter the Azurewing Repose from the south.)
/way Azsuna 55.50,11.01 (Just on the cliffside)
/way Azsuna 50.47,16.32 (Off the side of the road a little ways, out in the open.)
/way Azsuna 37.50,32.82 (Behind the wall, sitting next to the tree.)

And after 2 hours of searching them over and over, found my 5th in a new spot which Thank God I moused over.
/way Azsuna 50.14,23.45 (Inside the Azurewing Repose Big Cave, it's popping out of a cluster of purple crystals.)

Love my pink mount :D

Commentaire de Hollowian

I found one at 65 42, behind Spitespeaker Lir'kess. It is out in the open but I didn't see it on the list

Commentaire de MarioMetroid

I'm confused regarding point 50, 77 (Isle of the Watchers). You say it is "in cave in broken ship". Yet I can't find a cave inside a broken ship or a broken ship inside of a cave.

I found a cave at 51, 75.86, but there's no broken ship and it is small.

Commentaire de straggyemt

just got mine today on US- The Scryers/Argent Dawn

now can i still see the crystals later since i got it ? like if i wanted to help a friend ?

Commentaire de winterbiss

I just started my journey today on our low pop server - and I got my Hippogryph after just 5 crystals? O_o Took me about 20 minutes with your very nice waypoints, so thanks for that!

Just wondering if the perquisites have been changed to 5 crystals instead of 8... or if I was the victim of a rather fortunate bug or something.

Commentaire de mommyclz

Got mine today! I'd gone out looking several times without finding any crystals, and decided to wait for flying - which definitely makes it easier.

I used the paste add-on and tom-tom, which worked well - but I'll point out that I did NOT go inside the big cave (something cove, with the giants and slaves) until I had actually found a crystal elsewhere. Obviously, if there are 5 up, there will be some elsewhere.

Sure enough, once I DID find a crystal, I went inside that cave (and forgot, at first, that I could go in cat mode and prowl lol) and found one of my 5 in there.

Commentaire de LoLAkali

So I've tried to find any information on this without luck.
At around 19:40 ST on Bladefist I clicked my first crystal. Out of sheer luck I found the next 3 pretty fast.
At some point after clicking my 4th crystal I circled back to one of the previous crystals only to see that it had despawned, I did a lap and discovered that all 4 had despawned.
At first I thought someone had found the mount after I clicked my 4th, which was around 20:40 ST.
So I went through the chat log only to find out that there had not been a serverwide emote as should be.
Is it possible that there's a timer on how long anyone has? Do the crystals despawn after a certain amount of time if no one managed to find 5?

Commentaire de Mondoblasto

Was trying to help a guild member with a coordinate when I realized I couldn't find the spot it describes. This needs to be confirmed by someone with flying.

/way 45.75, 30.34 ((In cave next to piles of gold))

By the way people, if it's in a cave or otherwise underground you need to describe (slapping tabletop each time with open hand) HOW. TO GET. INTO. IT., because getting to it above ground is completely f3@%ing useless. What the hell are you supposed to do, dig downwards?

Dumbass! (walks out and slams door shut)

Commentaire de sakera

Thank you very much for the great guide. Just found mine!

Commentaire de flaicher

I'm not so sure about "only one crystal spawning at a time".
I got my hippogryph today and started searching for the crystals in the north-western corner as I noticed one during a world quest. I just searched the spots systematically and had searched only about a half of the map before finding the fifth one, without backtracking.

Commentaire de tigatron

Thanks for the great guide. I managed to get the hippogryph yesterday, after several unsuccessful attempts. I credit at least some of my success to the fact that it was class mount day and most people were focussed on that task.

I found the first crystal while I was on the PvP quest "Operation Murloc Freedom". It was near the shoreline, but still within the PvP zone. Found the last one at approximately 57,31 at the foot of the statue in the Greenway, surrounded by Eternal Guardian mobs. Not sure if this location is marked on the map, however.

In the end, finding the five crystals took approximately 30 minutes and all crystals were out in the open (none in caves).

Commentaire de mysgydid

Thank you for outlining all the waypoints, my only complaint would be that if you are copying and pasting them into macros, all the stuff next to the points has to be deleted and it slows you down a lot. However, thank you for compiling, I hope to have my mount soon.

Commentaire de Taraezor

You may care to download my Long Forgotten Hippogryph AddOn from Curse. It is in the style of my well-known Netherwing Eggs AddOn and is tailored specifically for the task.

This comment updated September 2021. Yes I am still actively maintaining it.

Caves highlighted with green and red pins to show caves with crystals and caves with no known crystals
All coordinates are to hundredth's or a map-unit precision
I position myself right on top of the crystal when recording a location (to put it simply)
The cave entrances are shown. Step inside the save and the Mini-map changes to the actual crystal location
I have tested all of the pins. That is why my list is shorter than other lists

The download page has an embedded supporting video. Please watch it! The video also features the LFH flying.

Please ignore information which says that all caves have crystals.

Please note that guides which list crystals close to each other are actually people standing in the vicinity of the same crystal and sending erroneous data.

While farming:

If all five crystal locations have already been revealed then only one thorough sweep should be sufficient. Just be darned quick about it! The other situation is when you are freshly discovering the locations. In this scenario, as soon as you have found a crystal you should consider the map as "fresh" and needing to be totally explored, including that part of the map already traversed.

Do not Die! Do not step out of zone!

A "set" route would be nice but the practical reality of having to run away from mobs and other players on PvP servers makes a fixed route impractical. I find that on occasion when I must jump off a cliff, for example, I am redoing an area already traversed. That is actually okay if you are still revealing the crystal locations and there are other players also hunting. The key is to continually move. Never stop. When you are not moving you are not discovering and you are more likely to finish up dead. Minimise repeating areas for sure, but constantly moving is the key.

Good luck!

Commentaire de Backlashe

Just got mine of Medivh/Exodar at 1:50pm EST. First time trying. Guess the small server size allowed me to be pretty much unhindered.

Commentaire de 1685409

Thanks for the guide! I used paste and tom tom. Tried it over the weekend but wasn't finding any of the crystals. Tried again this morning and got it in maybe 30 minutes

Commentaire de Celea

Incredibly easy if you download the addon Long Forgotten Hippogryph, NOT the HandyNotes extension. This AddOn has almost all of the latest waypoints for each crystal. I downloaded this addon and flew to each point, obtained my mount in less than an hour on US-Ravenholdt at 10:04pm EST. Good luck!

Commentaire de SpookyTheCat

I was too lazy to grab the addon, but on Duskwood I referenced this guide for locations and managed to find 5 crystals in just over 2 hours. Thank you for the list.
I am surprised that I managed to get this mount, but maybe it was a quiet Friday on this server.

Commentaire de Tuts

Tuts Journal:

After 3 hours searching I found my 5th crystal inside a cave at /way 57/26. I believe thi coord is new because i was i using the waypoints on this guide. I hope this help you guys.
For those flying around my advice: Get. inside. the. caves.
Don't know how to upload screenshots here yet but i guarantee i found my 5th on this location.

Take care.

Commentaire de pinelakias2

I have run these coordinates 3 times. I found 4/5 all from here. The 5th was nowhere to be found. Can you please tell me if for example the first respawn earlier than the 5th? In other words, if they have different respawn timers.

Commentaire de Eltreum

Found my last one around 57,15.

It seems the spawns are random in an area rather than a specific place.

Commentaire de Soital

Are you sure it displays "You hear a faint call in the distance and then silence" to the entire zone? I'm on UK/EU - Argent Dawn server and I've seen the crystals 3 times now.

The first time there were literally two crystals right next to each other and after flying around looking for some I eventually flew back around and the crystals were gone - there was no message displaying that but someone did get it.

Second time I was the one that got the mount, the message appeared for me when I got the reins but I was soloing so couldn't really ask anyone if they saw the message.

Third time was today I was farming plants and saw one again, I stood next to it for a while and flew around getting herbs in Azuna, an hour or so later the crystal was gone and again there was no message.

I'm not sure if it applies for others but found it a bit odd?

Commentaire de Kraikees

If you pick up the Kirin Tor Mana saber quest in Azuna, it looks like the world is "spawned just for you", including the crystals, so pick up the quest and go hunt crystals insted of energy, and you end up with a hippo insted of quest reward. Or at least so it looks for me.

it worked for me and a friend so far.

Can anyone else try this and confirm if it works ?

Commentaire de wcrow

Thank you so much for this guide! I finally got the mount today after 2 failed attemps.

Commentaire de AmyS2

Found the one at the /way 50.14, 23.45 (Inside the Azurewing Repose Big Cave, it's popping out of a cluster of purple crystals.)

Here's the SS to prove it: https://i.imgur.com/Opivbrh.png

Commentaire de Crowzer

Took me 2h30 on Argent Dawn.

Commentaire de TheOldBear

Thanks for this guide. Got mah birdy in like an hour after randomly finding a crystal, and hurrying to get to this guide for the waypoints.

Commentaire de AmyS2

I hunt for these Crystals everyday. Most of the time to give it away to whoever DMs me first on the Secret Finding Discord, sometimes to my guildies or friends.

I have a ton of Screeshots of the locations I have found them at so far. Have been uploading a lot of them to the Ephemeral Crystal page. a few got accepted already.
However my PC is a toaster, but I try to take the Screenshots at the highest graphics options it can handle.
The SS's on the crystals' page have their exact coordinates locations, except for the ones inside caves, those I give the cave's entrance locations.

Hope it helps. Happy hunting everyone! <3

Finally got this beautiful mount - been using Handy notes points for months. I will post all 5 points, but 3 points were not listed: 62.2, 54.8; 62.3, 40.5; 48.8, 45.6; 50.5, 16.4 and 58.2, 24.5

Commentaire de kHartos

Here is my riveting account of acquiring this mount -

I have a habit of checking 10-20 spots while doing WQs and found my first crystal yesterday. Within about an 90 mins I found 4/5. Could not find the 5th. Then my wife (with child) came home. And demanded I log off to do chores and family time. I delayed best I could but...you know, marriage. Crestfallen, I knew it wasn't going to be some time before I could log in again.

More than 8 hours later I logged in and lo and behold the crystals were still there! I'm in a low pop server. The crystals were clickable for me again, so I thought what the hell, let's go find the 5th. It took over an hour to find it, but I did! And when I clicked it... nothing happened. I was SOL. I was about to offer the locations to a friend but then I had the thought to go get my alt and see if it worked for them. I logged in with my alt and went back to the first crystal location where I found 6 or so players gathered around it. @#$@. I knew I had a race on my hands so I booked it to the other 4. I clicked the last crystal and got the mount.

So lesson to be learned - you can use alts to get the mount if somehow more than 8 hours pass from first click and the crystals are still up. This is likely to be pretty relevant post Legion.

Commentaire de Nawin04

30min of flying (EU-Draenor) No backtrack.. ;)
some coords are a bit off, or not disappearing on reaching the point! beware!

Commentaire de Esploratore

Damn it the spawn spot under the lake in el'dranil shallows! I gave away 7 mounts by now (or so) plus got one myself and occasionally found some more which I couldn't find anyone to give them to and either despawned or someone else got them while I was off and after 4 crystals I just could never find 5th, so went back to check here to learn of new spawn spots and I found it was there, hardest spawn spot so far for me, even when I already knew of the other underwater spawn spot! https://imgur.com/Kcm5fPN is the screenshot that is already linked in the page that let me find it.

Edit: apparently I was wrong, leyhollow cave one is definitely harder than this, that is hard to see even if you look at it, unlike underwater spots!

Commentaire de remid0d0s0

This went surprisingly quickly. Found 5 crystals in the center-SE areas of Azuna, SE of Azurewing Repose. Two in caves, three pretty much out in the open. Took about 1-1/2 hr. I did circle the island 2-3 times but in my case all the crystal action was south of the mountains. I don't know if this has been nerfed or I just waited long enough and picked a dead enough night (which is what I usually do when farming something).

I rarely do much of anything grindy so I had low expectations and was pleasantly surprised. Anyway, if you're still looking, hope it goes quickly for you too!

Commentaire de Blazingpaw

Got my birdy in an hour or so when I spotted the first crystal. Used addon to show the spawnpoints and just zigzagged around and last run went only the caves where the last needed one was.She is a Lady <3 Definitely fitting mount for a night elf druid or almost any class that night elf can play.

Commentaire de MaraSedai1313

So you just fly around randomly and hope you can find 5 before anyone else does? Pffft F that. I dont want to spend hours just flying around searching for something that half a million others are looking for as well. Total waste of time.

Commentaire de 1847294

So you have to RESTART every time it respawns? I got 4 out of 5 and then there was the "caw of defeat". So now I have to restart it?

Commentaire de Bregalagos

Thank you so much! This guide with all the coords helped me eventually capture that elusive beast.

I've previously spent time looking for it only to be bamboozled searching for the last crystal only to see those fateful words: You hear a faint caw in the distance then silence...

Today was my lucky day. I go to Aszuna to complete some alchemy quest on an alt only to discover a crystal right next to the object i need to loot. This sent me on a frantic rat race where I got 4 in a hour. I spent the next two hoping against hope and thanjfully the RNG gods blessed me and I found that 5th crystal.

Great guide and kudos to you for all the hard work you put into this.

Commentaire de bearistic

I had just found my 4th crystal, I was so excited and then I watched someone walk into the cave I was just in and click the crystal I just clicked. He gets the mount.

I was devastated, tried again about 4 hours later. Found 3 crystals right away but couldn't click them. Found a 4th and it was the one I needed for my mount. So you CAN log off and just wait for them to respawn. Your debuff from earlier crystals will still be around so you might see some crystals up but can't click them. My advice, use a trial 100 druid on a low pop server. Long forgotten hippograph is the way to go as far as addons are concerned. I was using handynotes version but it was missing a lot of the crystals on the map.

Commentaire de WoWplayer001

I can CONFIRM - saw the "you hear a faint caw" text at approx 1230am on 4/26/18. Ephemeral Crystals were up by 1:00pm 4/26/18. The 12 hour respawn timer on crystals is likely a correct assumption. I had 4, and was beaten by someone else.

For the record, the Long-Forgotten Hippogryph Add-on was invaluable. Thank you very, very much to the author.

UPDATE - 4/27/18
Between 8:30am and 9:00am local time (5:30am - 6:00am server), I successfully found 5 crystals. Competion at this time of morning was absolutely nil. It took no more than 25 minutes of searching. I am fortunate in that I work from home, so after I got my kiddo on the bus, I logged in before I started working and got the stones with relative ease. Again, the add-on was an amazing help, and my thanks both to the author AND the community for contributing to it. This is something most of us should be able to do without any major difficulty because of it.

Some Tips

Go Off-Peak - I experienced no competition at all at the time stated above. This occurred on Cenarion Circle, which is a very low-pop realm on a Friday morning. As such my luck may not be the same on high pop servers. I last saw the "you hear a faint caw" message yesterday at about 4:45pm local time. It was likely sheer luck that I was able to find stones without competition 16 hours after that time. Server time/local time plays a huge factor.

Look for Aberrant NPC Behavior - the primary reason why I found the last stone so easily was because the bears that normally sleep around the rocks were acting strange. They were chasing each other in circles around the rocks, and that behavior immediately abated when I clicked on the final stone. I also noticed that the spirits around Nor'Danil Wellspring were also acting strange. The few spirits that were near the stone when I found it were in the process of channeling a summoning spell (visual effect only), a behavior I haven't noticed from them at other times.

Commentaire de Esploratore

A question to the author: I used to be able to go to screenshots to learn new spawn spots, imgur is still working for me in general, but it gives me an error 403 with every single spawn spot screen here, is it something you've changed recently, considering the screenshot I posted here in a comment is still working correctly?

Anything I should do if not, to make it work?

Edit: very weird behaviour actually, if I open the links directly they don't work, but if I copy the not-working-link once it "opened" and paste it, even without opening a new page it works, and the same problem happens on 2 different browsers, same behaviour.

Commentaire de Murderlistic

NICE GUIDE!

I used the AddOn Long Forgotten Hyppogryph to track all the Ephemeral Crystals.

Flying through Azsuna to complete my Emissary Quests for Court of Farondis, in the afternoon of last day (09/05/2018) at Brazilian server Nemesis, I saw the message "You hear a faint caw in the distance and then silence...", it was 04:53 PM to be exact.

Based on this guide, I waited 12 hours for it and 04:53 AM (day 10/05/2018), I started looking for them clockwisely, using the picture of this guide as a "start" point since the AddOn have the same cords.

I found the first crystal right next to the Illidari Stand flight (45.40, 45.36) really close to the tree, I don't remember the other 3 cords because I was really excited and anxious to see if I would find more and 05:11 AM of the same day that's when I found the last one right next to a big tree at 54.39, 26.00.

It took me less than 20 minutes to find all 5 crystals!
Really wanted this lovely Hyppogryph for a while and I'm really grateful for you guys hard work.
Shaha lor'ma!

Commentaire de ayato77

I have used only HandyNotes to get the crystals, but i wish i didn't do that from the beginning, so i decided to give this guide a try, already had the Paste addon so i copied and pasted. Apparently, HandyNotes is missing a lot of spots, i would always get stuck at 4 crystal not being able to find the 5th sadly. Thanks to the author of this guide, i got my 5th which it wasn't marked by HandyNotes.

I highly recommend getting the Paste addon and copying/pasting the locations given here.Thank you Purgatorywolf.

Commentaire de leviathen7

The addon is perfect. Today at around 2 Am in Defias brotherhood realm started searching for crystals and after 30 mins around 2:30 Am got the mount. well time to get some sleep now.

Commentaire de fai1

Took me 2 hours this morning, third attempt. A few tips:
1) Go on your druid. Pops in & out of flight form faster, and can stealth past mobs to check out caves easily.
2) Go inside the caves, don't just move around your camera from the outside. My last crystal was inside an alcove inside a cave, and I didn't even know that cave had alcoves.

Commentaire de Breezed

Completed this easily today on Bloodscalp. I used Paste and TomTom and just went in order. I don't know exact duration but it took less than an hour.

Commentaire de IcedAssassin

I just completed this at 1:53 PST after starting it around 1am. I used the handynotes addon to get an idea where to look, then just expanded the area around each marker. I ended up finding one crystal that wasnt indicated on the addon. /way 51 / 65 (where i completed the challenge).

What is crazy is I was looking over the guide of things to try to complete before 8.0 is out, read about this mount, clicked this guide and started looking around 12:50am PST.

Commentaire de Veselatrava

Woke up on Sunday @ 4am, started with addon then switched to Tomtom. Done in 1 h 17 minutes, so definitely worth going for it. Not big time grind although you must place your bet that there actually is a crystal spawned...
The 1 difference I noticed is that no buff/debuff indication was visible. Only the fact, that there is a clickable crystal -> crystal becomes unclickable after using.

Commentaire de ariaru0710

Hey Taraezor! Your addon Long Forgotten Hippogryph is not compatible/updated with current patch 8.01 and NONE of your commands listed in addon information box like "/lfh" or /hippogryph", or "/lfh m" work. PLEASE FIX THIS ! :D a link to your FAQ also doesnt work.

handy notes lfh addon is up to date and works but does not have near as many spots to check/descriptions as of 08/28/18 1350 EST. idk how else to get a hold of you!

Commentaire de Alystrin

A quick tip!

Today, I lost one of the mounts by only one crystal.

After that I remembered the phasing issues between war mode on and off and gave it a try by changing my war mode (I used another character). Then, when I checked, there were available crystals and now I have a pink cute mount!

Commentaire de Qruelty

Thank you, got the mount after multiple tries before. Started at 03:00 am wedenessay morning in 20 mins.

Commentaire de Danyi

Thank you so much for the way point list, I also highly recommend the addon 'Paste', which I got after reading about it here. After tracking all the points in the 'Handy Notes' and 'Long Forgotten Hippogryph' addons, I had 4 and couldn't find the last one. I pasted the list you had and it led me to the missing one.

Salutes.

Commentaire de Esploratore

I found 200 crystal sets so far, I realise only the most experienced crystal hunters could answer my question, but I'm gonna try: I did NOT find the crystal tucked in the cluster inside leyhollow cave, keep in mind, the other spot in that cave is one I still found lately, but NOT the one tucked in the cluster for months, and I do these 3-4 times a day.

I have a feeling it's been removed, did anyone see any in that cluster in the last few months? If so, how long ago?

Commentaire de darkthorgoth

It took me approximately 2 hours to get all five..
i was stuck for about 40 minutes on the 4th on and thought i might did something wrong.
i ended up focusing on caves...and the 5th was in one..

so 2 tips to remember
start from the caves and do not give up :D

enjoy your new hippogryph mount :D

Got this mount today on Ravenholdt on a trial character, was my first time searching for it. What I did was went through using the TomTom coordinates listed here found 1, then used coordinates posted by another user and found 3, then used this one again and found the last one I needed. They are all roughly the same areas but the slightly different coordinates help you see things you may otherwise miss. Good luck!

I know this is a few years old, but wanted to help out with the coordinates.

It has been posted that there are several crystals inside Oceanus Cove. The coordinates provided by players, however, require manual clearing. Since Oceanus Cove has its own map, the coords below will point them out properly, both on the minimap and main map, and also clear when you get close enough.

I have listed what I believe are the original coordinates that used the main Azsuna map as it's base, so one can replace the originals with the ones directing to the Oceanus map.

/way Oceanus Cove 45.89 30.92 In the cave next to some piles of gold (49.67 55.35)
/way Oceanus Cove 61.88 58.27 In the cave next to some piles of gold (48.05 52.70)
/way Oceanus Cove 83.95 81.44 Inside the cave, hidden behind some wood (48.57, 57.2?)
/way Oceanus Cove 51.22 76.94 inside giant cave in broken ship (51.8 57.6?)

Logged on at 12:05am ST and had all 5 by 12:43am ST on Skywall. Used the addon, which was awesome. None of mine were in caves...all were out in the open. The crystals didn't show up in my bags when I got them, so I went back to the first one to make sure I picked it up. When I went back, couldn't click it again, so I figured it counted and kept searching. This was my first try.

At 5:45 am realm time I found my first crystal and clicked it. It took me approximately 15 mins to find 2 more crystals. At 6:03 I saw the emote that let me know someone beat me. The serve shut down for an hour from 7 am -8 am. At 10 am I figured I would check my luck again since I read it can start re-spawning as little as 2 hrs after last claim. I started searching and came across a crystal in the exact spot that I had clicked a few hours prior, only I couldn't click it this time. I looked in the spots that I had clicked earlier but there were no crystals there. I thought it was odd. So I kept searching and within 20 mins I was able to find 2 crystals that were clickable. After clicking the second, I was given the mount. So, it seems that you get the 8 hr buff to find the 5 crystals and that it stays, regardless of if someone else claims the mount.

Thanks for the guide, got it the first time I tried ^^

Commentaire de ZuljanOfSenjin

Thank you!

I randomly found one of crystals, then I used your guide coords and got my mount on first try. Took me around 45 minutes to find all 5 crystals around 03:00 EU server time. All 5 were in / near roads and trees.

Just wanted to add/confirm that you can complete this during Chromie timewalking and before having Artisan Riding (which you need to learn the mount), just got it at level 33. Very useful guide!

Commentaire de Scyshe

There may be a possible bug after the Shadowlands launch revolving around the Archdruid's Lunarwing Form (the one in which the druid can ferry people around in). Having given away the Long-Forgotten Hippogryph at least a few dozen times during BfA, it was confirmed that people could click on all 5 crystals and get the mount WHILE STILL SEATED atop the flight form druid.

However, after the recent expansion launch, the acquiring of the mount may bug out if this is the case (i.e. someone can click on all 5 crystals while being ferried but NOT get the Long-Forgotten Hippogryph NPC to spawn, neither do they get the Reins of the Long-Forgotten Hippogryph in their inventory). The solution to this is if it's happened to get rid of the hidden buff (which is mentioned in this guide) by dying or zoning out and back in, and then clicking on all 5 crystals again this time without being mounted on the druid's flight form (while crossing your fingers that nobody else has snatched it up). Otherwise, just remember to dismount off your friendly druid hippogryph dealer before clicking on any crystal to prevent any of this from occurring.

Hopefully this bug is not intended, and will be fixed eventually.

Commentaire de Alekzy

I've been wanting this mount for so long, and after reading this guide i did it in less than 2 hours (mostly because i found 3 crystals very close to eachother). Btw you'll have even higher chance to find it on a medium or low population realm, but if u do it on full or high there's a small chance that someone will get it right before you. Just keep in mind that the crystal respawns somewhere else right as u click the first one and that you have enough time (as in 8 hours), so just keep circling around the zone and you can find it in 30 mins.

I confirm that this is doable in 2 hours tops alone and without anybody! (also i did it on a medium population realm Magtheridon)

Anyways props to the guy creating this guide and happy hunting for the crystals !

Ok, so first off, the coords list is horrible! it's in order west to east! So I spent about 30mins reordering them into a route. I'm sure there's a simple way but I cba to work it out so did it by hand lol. then an hour of flying round and boom! one un-forgotten no longer lost hippogryph. It must be much simpler now that so few people are trying for it. My last two crystals spawned next to each other lol. Half an hour to reorder waypoints, 21 minutes to grab 5 crystals :)

For anyone interested, these were my locations:

Started about 23:00 ish.
23:15 /way 65.58, 38.43 On the hillside
23:17 /way 59.63, 37.91 On edge of hill, next to tree
