Apparently direhorns are much more temperamental than devilsaurs. Who knew? I imagine page one says something to the effect of : "Those horns reaaaally hurt."

On a more serious note, as of now it remains to be seen if this is a temporary PTR item, a faction reward, or a random drop/quest reward/regular vendor item.

Commento di Spl4sh3r

Seeing as this is a Ancient Tome that learns the Hunter the ability I would believe that it is not an exotic pet. Or that even if it is all Hunters gain the ability to tame it even without being Beast Mastery.

EDIT: As others confirms, it is not an exotic at all =)

Commento di Ozlem

The tome is a drop from the humanoid mobs on the Isle of Giants, Dinomante Zandalari. It takes a few kills but that's how you get it folks. Also could tame the Direhorns in all specs once I learnt the skill.

It's BoP and unsure if any other class can see it as I was killing solo. Dinomancers also drop giant dinosaur bones, cookings mats, gold, rare recipes and Mordirotule Zandalari, Tranciacaviglie Zandalari, Falciapiedi Zandalari & Mordidita Zandalari. In live I've taken four of my hunters out there and the tome drop rate has been 1:121 kills, 1:74 kills, 1:18 kills and 1:148 kills (read comments below to get a idea of more ratio drop rates on the tome!)

This skill is not account bound, every hunter you have will need one of these if you wish to own a Direhorn pet on them.

Edit: I've come across some hunters who are killing direhorns, with a primal devilsaur mostly, and 9 out of 10 times it ended up being a hunter who didn't know they needed to kill the dinomancers for the tome. If you see such a hunter I can't see it hurting just throwing them a whisper to ask if they're wanting to tame a direhorn. If not wish them luck in their bone/egg farming but if so you can enlighten them a little which saves them a load of time.

Also RE: that baby blue model in my screenshot, that was in PTR & that color got replaced with the darker blue model we now see on the isle live.

Commento di 175315

The fact we have been able to tame raptors and devilsaurs long since (especially raptors, devilsaurs at least required BM) somehow ruins the "using this ancient troll tome of dinomancy you can now master the training of dinosaurs" feeling. Maybe if it included more dinosaurs (like pterodactyls and thunder lizards)...

I'm not on the PTR, anyone can tell me which buff/debuff they give?

No buffs or debuffs yet. Only special it has it Reflective Armor Plating 6 second with a 21 second CD.

Commento di 365528

I've been trying for a while to get this tome, but no matter how many dinomancers I kill I am unable to loot anything. I get no drops at all. Has the tome been removed and these are just trash mobs now?

edit to update: I decided to kill a couple more dinomancers before hearthing and the tome dropped :) So, there are no drops from these mobs at all until the tome drops.

Commento di AdjutantVox

Greetings farmers!

Lemme tell ya, it was eventful farming this in amongst the multitude of prot paladins. :)

It took about two hours to drop for me. No idea how many I killed but I came up with:
14 pets (Mostly Kneebiters)
126 Giant Dinosaur Bone
2 and a half stacks of Windwool cloth
52 Leeks
78 Carrots
1 Waterlogged Zandalari Journal (needed for Assetato di sapere)

I killed mostly dinomancers with a few direhorns interspersed. Who knew they'd be such a good source of veggies?

Good luck!

Commento di asherdoyle

This dropped after two kills. That's it. I may have just been extremely lucky. A friend of mine has farmed for a bit but hasn't had it drop yet.

Commento di Snackelbeans

First day of 5.2 today. I had to kill between 10 and 15 of them before it dropped, giving it a 10%ish drop rate. You'll likely get a pet or 5 before you get this to drop. Also, make sure you read the tooltip; this is BoP. You can't farm these on a well-geared character and give it to your hunter/ your friend's hunter.

Commento di Ironhorn

Got it in two kills lady luck smiles on me for once.

Commento di Tsiatko

On my 2nd hour of farming, and still nothing. So... many... pet drops...

Commento di 1061007

Got the tome on the east side of the island, right below the horde flight path. There are a few Dinomancers that spawn rapidly at a hut (6 spawn points total).

Killed 70ish mobs before it dropped. On the plus side, I also looted 14 battle pets, which made my guildies happy! :)

Commento di Bugtrooper

Sorry for sounding stupid but how do you get to the island? Currently at work counting down the hours and don't want to lose a minute in obtaining the new pet. Will I be offered a quest to get there or I will I have to fly/swim there? This has probably been covered by someone else so my apologies for being so lazy. Also are there different colored direhorns all over or are they specific to certain areas?

Commento di Cindurella

Dropped on my first kill :)

Commento di 854475

SO this maybe helpful, it may not, but here goes, The Dinomancers have a fairly speratic spawn rate, but they are also lots of groups in the immediate area that you come to upon your landing on the Isle, I did some farming shortly after the launch of 5.2, upon landing on the Isle, my 1st 2 kills got me 2 of the Tombs right off the bat, Lucky, I think so.........but I digress, but upon further farming possibly about an hour or so, after about 50 kills, only had one other tomb drop, and lots of Zandalari pets, mainly kneebiters and anklerenders, but did get a few of the lower drop rate Toenibblers, so it will mostly take some time to farm for them tombs, and lets face it, the Dinomancers are not exactly easy to just one hit and quit, they take some time to get down, assuming you get them down just past the 900k health, they transform into their dino better half, but if you do not reach below the 900k in a timley manner, they self heal and start all over, so interrupt and repeat, they have an ability much like the Pandaran rares what with healing abilities and such, so farm away my pets, and good luck on your search for the Zandalari secrets.

Commento di Mychelle

Hello fellow hunters who I am assured, just like me, absolutely had horrible luck on this drop.

But rest assured! (At least slightly) I at least found a nice little quiet farming spot where I did not have to worry about dinosaurs, with a decent respawn rate (via the time it takes you to kill the dinomancers), room to pull back, groups that can be single pulled, ect.

At around 67, 41 via cords, Northeast for those who dont have cords, there is a small camp of dinomancers. Roughly about 8 of them. They are all in groups of two. Minus 1 pather.

Using my freezing trap, and having my pet on passive, allowed me to single-pull these all back where I could kill them, without having to pull any extras. So in about the time I got through killing all 8 of them, the first ones I had killed had already started to respawn. Yay, no more wandering around this island death trap while I farmed! (Which is what I was doing before I found this nice cozy spot.)

In about three hours I had roughly -
79 Red Blossom Leak
91 Juicycrunch Carrot
83 Giant Dinosaur Bone
4 Stacks of Windwool Cloth, give or take a few random extras.
1 Torn Zandalari Journal
and....sigh...20 of the different pets they dropped. Extras. This number doesnt include the 4 I kept for myself.

I hope this spot works out just as well for you guys as it did me. I hate wandering-farming. I am also on a PVP server. I only got ganked once.

Commento di 1053319

Hour three of excessive farming, this kills the man.

Edit: Got it 5~10 minutes after posting this comment! Stick in!

Some tips:
The small camp on the East side of the Isle of Giants seems to be the best place to farm these, on the Zandalari Dimonancers. I suggest bringing a friend along to make it bearable, I joined up with a really nice priest I met on the Isle; and I gave her all the bones that dropped (Let her loot them at least)
I recommend to keep track Humanoids on, so you're able to pull extra Zandalari Dimonancers so you're able to grab extras whilst waiting in your farm spot, but be kind to other people farming within the area.
Finally, put some music on you enjoy as you might be there for a while (:

Commento di sweetzz

My luck with RNG is usually horrendous, so when it dropped off the 2nd dinomancer I was quite shocked. I farmed for the pets for about an hour (on the east side of the island right before you get to the horde npc's), and ended up with 5 books total, 41 bones, 4 kneebiters, 3 toenibblers and 1 each of the anklerender and footslasher.

I am now going to go buy a lottery ticket...

Commento di squiretoad

I'm just a "normal" 90 hunter, no really fancy gear or weapons. But my pet Loque and I hammered on one of those 90 Elite Dinomancers for 15 minutes and never got him below maybe 90% health! He'd heal and it was start all over again! I do not see any way I can ever kill one of them. Any hints? Or must I get a group just to kill these guys?

Sure would like one of those new hunter pets.

Commento di Kurion

It appears these books will continue to drop after you have learned the ability. Farming the the Dinomancers for the pets is definitely worth it. I'm not sure if Blizzard intended the drop rate for the pets to be as high as it is, but between the extra books, the gold, the cooking ingredients, and the transmog/DE greens you will loot in such a short period of time, it's worth grinding these guys out for a couple hours.

Commento di ConfessorAmnell

Currently you do *not* have to be Level 90 to Loot the book.

I took my L88 BE Hunter, My Husband - a L90 Blood DK, and a friend - a L90 BE Hunter farming this last night.

It did take quite a few kills, we did see numerous pets, but both Hunters were able to loot a book eventually.

It should also be noted that this is *not* Party Loot - Every Hunter will have to get this to drop.

Happy Hunting!

Commento di Dagor

It took me betwen 150 and 200 kills.

Commento di WordlessLyrics

Just looted today.

Farmed Zandalari Dinomasters on Isle of Giants north of Kun-Lai Summit. I was farming for the pets they drop in the center of the island. There are 6 or 7 Dinomasters standing by the pools. You can pull them one at a time. When they get down to about 75% health they cast a self heal. If you interrupt it they cast again in 1 or 2 sec. I used Silencing Shot and Scatter Shot, or used my belf racial Arcane Torrent.

Got all 4 pets plus some for the AH and the Tome dropped. I was there about 30 minutes. Farmed for about 45 more minutes after posting this and 3 more dropped. They are soulbound but vendor for 37G each.

Coords 49, 57. Good luck.

Commento di Measa

Lucked out and found a single mob by his self that had a frequent spawn rate of about five minute. I also found it easy to lead him (threw several traps) to where I had my pet parked further away from other mobs and farmers. After 6 or 7 kills, I got the drop.
I then when for my new adventuring partner and almost didn't tame him (these guys hit like a large truck) dieing at the last millisecond of tame beast.
His smashing me like a thumb under a hammer did inspire his new name, Mjollnir.

Commento di popchief

I'm almost embarrassed to admit this, but the tome dropped on my first dinomancer kill. Just (insanely) luck, I guess.

Commento di 1105685

This dropped off my 4th kill. I was pretty happy because some of my friends it took a couple of days. I also got two pets in those 4 kills :)

Commento di blakebox

This is truly a luck drop. I went there with a group of 5 people on 3/9/2013 and killed npcs for about 2 hours got a bunch of Zandalari pets but not the Tome. I went back there again on 3/11/2013 by myself and got this on the 6th kill.

Commento di larien

I spent about 2 hours running around on he Island Killing dinomancers. In the end, I had 25 little raptor companions before I got the tome. With so many little raptros I didn't know what to do with them so I hosted a contest in trade.... first 25 people to type out "super-cali-fragilistic-expiali-docious" in trade chat got a raptor... was a sight to see...

Commento di 1106025

Managed to get the Ancient Tome of Dinomancy in just 16 kills. No need to group, so long as you watch thier cast bar, to interupt the heals. 12/03/2013.

Commento di 807491

Just got it, drop on the first mob.. no pets :(

Commento di 1107200

lucky me got the tome on my 11th kill.

however, there's another sweet spot for farming the mancers. right in the middle, by the muddy pools, there are around 10 of them, all scattered so you can kill them one by one without any problems.

that is, if oondasta isn't there.. ;)

it's a pity that the direhorn itself is rather... useless. it doesn't provide any buffs, it's special ability is very situational and it makes annoying sounds while moving :(

Commento di killertofu

64.52, 76.72 was a nice spot to farm for this book. There were about 8-10 of them in this area and the respawn rate was pretty good. Once I finished killing the ones past this spot, the ones I first started killing had respawned. I was helping my guildmate get her book here. She got hers on the 22nd kill. By the way, these guys also drop the Osso di Dinosauro needed for mount/pet. Happy Hunting.

Commento di 1089080

followed the advice here and went to The Isle of Giants, flying thru the fatigue gap and swimming the last bit.

I pulled a Dinomancer but got two, so trapped one and worked the other. 2 MM hp but ground him down only to discover he self heals nastily. Silent shot interrupts the heal. At about 1 MM hp he transformed into a dino and the rest was just an easy grind. He hits the pet pretty hard so had to reheal the pet about 4 times during the fight. It took long enough to have to retrap the add three times since I only do about 24k dps.

To my amazement and delight the hunter book dropped off this first kill allowing me to retrap and swim for the mainland.

Commento di Cordessa

Got it today while we were fighting Oondasta - Didn't even know that I wanted it, before it dropped ;)
I was going to give it to another hunter, who seemed to really want it, but then he started cursing at me and behaving like a raging child, so I used it for myself.
I'm gonna go for a blue direhorn pet now :)

Commento di thekingdraik

Took me 46 kills, with an iLevel of 456 on and off for a week of 4 or so sessions.

Commento di Spydor01

Ok, I'm not going to bore anyone with a statistic of how many kills it took me to get this book, that's rather useless information IMO. Rather, I'll clue some folks in on what works for me. I've found that turtles work good for taking these guys down, for their Shell Shield ability, as well as relatively high HP (mine is currently at 774K). When the Dinomancer starts his self-heal, I initially use Silencing Shot to interrupt, then on the second go round, use my pets' Intimidation. These combos work well in rotation, as well as the oh so important Mend Pet to keep you pet going. The cool down on Silence is only 24 seconds, hence why I use it first, as the Intimidation cool down is 1 minute. Once the Dinomancer transforms into a Direhorn, it then becomes simply a DPS grind down to death, as he no longer self-heals.

Commento di Talboth

I just got this on my ilevel 460 survival hunter after killing dinomancers non-stop for almost an hour.

The BEST place I found to farm is the beach at 63,78. There is a camp of 4 Dinomancers and I would pull each one up the beach one by one and kill them.

Be sure to stay tight to the waterline so you do not accidentally pull one of the green direhorns on the shoreline while focusing on the Dinomancer.

Helpful tip if you are a lower ilevel hunter like I was- pull them up the beach, engage your tank pet (I used a turtle), and apply your serpent sting, black arrow, etc. and allow the Dinomancer to cast his first dino mending heal while you apply DoTs and get set up. As soon as he casts it, summon your Dire Beast, etc. and start to burn. Be sure to silencing shot the 2nd mend and you should be able to push him to dino transform before he casts another. I was able to consistently kill the menders one-by-one each time with only one slip up on my part where I used Readiness to reset the cooldown on my silencing shot and resume my strategy after THAT mend.

I also managed to get a lot of food mats, motes of harmony, and two of the four dino pets.

Each drops roughly over 1g50s on average as well.

Commento di Akitnaya

Before I got my red direhorn. I killed all the Zandalari Dinomancer around the tar pits where Oondasta spawns for abt an hr using Terrorpene resulting in the fastest kills IMO. Around the tar pits, they're a bit spaced out so 2 or 4 don't mob you all at once so for me, I found this spot ideal.

NOTE TO ALL HUNTERS:
MAKE SURE TO KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR THESE NPC'S CASTING DINO-MENDING! IF YOU'VE GOTTEN THEM DOWN TO 1/2 HEALTH, THEIR HEALTH GOES BACK TO 100% & YOUR SCREWED! YOU MUST USE SILENCING SHOT OR WHATEVER SPELL BREAKS CASTING BEFORE THEIR DINO-MENDING CAST IS FINISHED! THEY DID THIS TWICE FOR ME. A TANK PET IS A MUST FOR KILLING THESE GUYS. I HAD A CAT OUT & IT KEPT DIEING, HENCE MAKING ME DIE AS WELL.

*I was at the time a 493 BM hunter. I really think the glyphs I had helped a ton too. I have Glyph of Endless Wrath, Glyph of Animal Bond & Glyph of Mending for my major glyphs & Glyph of Revive Pet, Glyph of Fetch & Glyph of Aspect of the Cheetah for my minor glyphs...though Glyph of Fetch & Glyph of Revive Pet are the only useful minor glyphs in this circumstance. Dire Beast, Glyph of Mending for healing my pet, Glaive Toss, Serpent Sting, Concussive Shot, Arcane Shot & Kill Command was pretty much all I used to burn the Zandalari Dinomancer. Always watching out for the Dino-Mending.

I started farming these guys really late at night around 1 or 2 in the morning. My server, Area 52 US is jam packed so if I want to farm anything, I have to do it late at night. I really hope this helps someone out there. I wish someone told me. I wouldn't have died as much lol.

I decided I wanted this on my hunter, so I got up there, and cleared the island, and had nothing, by the time I was back at the beach, I killed two more, and two tomes dropped. Right after that I accidentaly pulled another one, whitch dropped yet another one.

Commento di Kifyi

The tome dropped for me after 5 kills. 'Course I wasn't also lucky enough to get any of the other drops but that's okay. My hunter is a pretty fresh 90, doesn't do much DPS yet and getting them to 50% before they got off a mend was a little tough, but with scatter shot and silencing shot, it was plenty doable.

Commento di 1116651

Commento di 1020092

I've just started farming this today on my fresh level 90 hunter. The Dinomancers are very easy to kill (even with my poor damage) as long as you make sure to interrupt their heal with Silencing Shot or Scatter Shot. I also recommend using a tank pet. I don't know how long I've been down here, but I'm up to 60 kills and no tome yet. But, I have gotten 3 companion pets (2 Zandalari Kneebiters and 1 Zandalari Toenibbler). Best of luck to everyone, I hope it's better than mine ^-^

~Edit: So 2 kills after I posted this I looted the tome and tamed my blue direhorn ^-^ (took a total of 62 kills to drop)
I also decided to clear the rest of the Dinomancers in the area around Oondasta (where I was farming the tome) and looted another Toenibbler pet.
Hooray.

Commento di Faolan89

Ok this was the most frustrating thing I've done on WoW but I was a 461 BM Hunter so I felt like I needed to tame each of the pets I could. Anyhow the meat of this post is that found a good way to do it.
Spot was under the big boss dino, there's a ring of the Dinomancers that I started at one end of them, pulling one at a time, then by the time I hit the end of the ring they were respawning for me to do another lap.Used a turtle pet for the shield ability and health. using Last Stand on him also helped when I goofed up a couple times. My trick was that I carefully dps'd until the Dinomancer tried to cast his heal the first time, interrupted it. then went full out dps to get him to half health. Usually by the time he was trying to cast his heal for the second time, he was forced to transform. That being said I had to do this for 3 hours before I got my tome to drop but with my gear being kinda low it was taking me forever to take them down. Higher geared hunters should be able to do this much faster

Commento di Camirra

I just got this today. I had 2 friends there along with me. It took an hour of constant killing on the beach near the Horde flightmaster before it dropped. I stopped counting after 100 kills, but I hit that number a little more than halfway through, so I'd estimate 200 kills. The good news is that the respawn rate between the group of mobs on the beach and the group in the camp up the hill was such that we were never waiting to kill things. Also, before my friends arrived, I had no problem killing the mobs on my own, and I'm mostly in just-hit-90 greens and blues. All in all, I'd say that it's grindy, but if you pull intelligently enough to not get overwhelmed, you'll have no problem getting it.

Commento di 675774

I'm sure this will be down voted and/or piss people off but after turning 90 I went to try to get a direhorn not knowing about the book. Looked on here and after changing classes so I could interrupt that damn heal I got the book on my 3rd kill.

Commento di Grizhak

Got it on my hunter today after about 10 kills. And after reading the comments here, I'm pretty happy about that :3

Commento di DKilbourne

At the risk of getting down-voted for being one of those people to say "I gots it in X number of killz", I will say this:

I took me about thirty minutes, a Zandarlari Footslasher and two Zandalari Toenibbler's before I was able to get this book. There are two locations that I farmed that had an extremely high respawn rate at around 64, 77 (directly east of the flight paths). Go between the two camps, and you'll get yours in no time.

Survival Hunter: Freezing Trap is your friend! Some of these goobers are in tight, so, well, you know what to do. Freeze one, and beat on the other!

Good luck!

Commento di vorka

As of patch 5.4.1: Just a small cheer - do not be afraid to engage grinding for the book or the pets. Although their health pool can look intimidating, they are not such hard obstacle.

As ilvl 520 Survival hunter I was able to fight up to 3 or 4 dinomancers comfortably with a dps pet. If you want to be on the safe side - ice trap and a turtle tanking pet are your friends. Do not forget to cast misdirection and heal your pet.

These currently are not unique and keep dropping if you don't learn it right away. They also sell for almost 40g.

Commento di Deydrys

Little confused, I expected to have to farm this book for hours, but I've now collected 4 and still don't have the last pet i was looking for. I'm hoping to find out I don't have to just sell the books, that I can trade them to people who need them instead, but my hopes are slim, does anyone know if your able to trade this book?

have gotten 2 more books since made, REALLY am wondering if these are tradeable.

Commento di Kevlan

My two cents - Forget the ones around Oon - There aren't enough of them to be worthwhile. At 100, go to the Zandalari ship off of the on the SE corner of the island - There's about 25 of them on there and you can take them in about two pulls, md'ing to your pet. Might even find a giant dino for bones! There's also a couple of villages with 6+ on the east side of the main island. No sense in taking them down a few at a time when you get 'em by the dozen!

Commento di 1126895

when i tried to tame a direhorn, and i saw i couldnt, i looked this site up, at the very next kill, the book dropped.. coincidence?

Commento di Onetwo

I got there today without flying mount as lvl 90 BM hunter with a turtle pet (about 48k hp). The most annoying thing about it is the running to the northern part (shore) of Kun-Lai Summit, you get there from the Valley of the Four Winds and up the The Veiled Stairs - there is also a FP there, after some running you get to a NPC with a quest that takes you to Kun-Lai with a boat.

Once you're there just run to the Zouchin Strand - it is north from the Zouchin village (in the north/north-eastern part of Kun-Lai, also has a FP). From there I swimmed until I got to the "grey area" where fatigue starts, there I used Elixir of Water Walking & Aspect of the Cheetah to get to the Island (got to about 50 % fatigue, so you have more than enough time to get to the Island).

I farmed Zandalari Dinomacer around (66.8, 74.4), after about 30 min of farming I got Ancient Tome of Dinomancy & 2 pets - Zandalari Anklerender & Kneebiter, would probably take me less time if I wouldn't be ganked 3 times by horde players & if I wouldn't wait for respawns. So pretty easy & well worth the time if you want your own Direhorn pet. :)

Only thing I am very disappointed about is, that you get no recognition for it, you get no achievement or special icon in your spellbook, only enables you to tame Direhorns, you could at least get one of these two which would show you learned / have something special. Also Direhorn itself (don't get me wrong, it's a cool looking pet) has no really special abilities, it has basic tenacity pet abilities & maybe worth mentioning Reflective Armor Plating spell.

So i spent at least 1h30 of my life, trying to get this tome. And i got it. Really quick, thanks god. Just to notice, how they suck. I'm not really happy even tho it was fun. So yeah, they are bad.

Commento di Wujiku

got it 15 kills

Commento di ThornRage

Mine dropped after 6 kills

Commento di glardian

I got it on my first Dinomancer kill. Either I was stupid lucky, or they upped the drop chance.

Commento di 2nihon

Note that these also drop off the Zandalari trolls. This is important because on most servers, lots of people will be shooting the dinosaurs but not everyone shoots the trolls.

Commento di selkie47

Around 20-25 kills for me. Gotta love that competition for kills on IoG...

Commento di Rukosh

I'm pretty sure they upped the chance of this item dropping.

I got my first one like 10 kills in. I killed maybe another 5, and got another one. First one could be attributed to chance, but the second? Unless I'm really really lucky...

Commento di Wark

Legion-era confirmation: these are still not hard to obtain! Even as a level 100 "I don't know how to Draenor-gear" BM scrub I had no problems mowing down everything punier than Undasta– Dinomancers went down in two hits. Circling the island killing everything got me seven of these tomes in the time it took to rack up about 3.6k bones.

If RNG is unkind you might be there for an hour, but it'll probably be far faster than that. (Given all the mounts & minipets on offer hanging out a bit longer might not be bad though.)

Commento di Bloodthursti

As of Jan 18 I will add this thing is not easy to get. I farmed for 3 hours ended up getting 16 eggs (can only have one) 23 pets 3 different ones, 2600 dino bones, and other odds and ends.

Commento di Whiteronnie

Not sure if buffed or I got lucky but got it within 2 kills 7.3.5 (might of even been first kill)

Commento di Edhan

I am having a real problem getting this tome to drop. I've been on this island now for about an hour, taken out Zandalari dinomancers and Primal Devilsaurs and nada zip zilch. Do I have to kill the WHOLE ISLAND to get this to drop, or what? *mad laughter*

Commento di Macamirunni

Does anyone know if Zandalari Troll hunter characters will need this to tame direhorns when the allied race is released?

Commento di RPAN13

Just went and got it after about 20 minutes of farming, I guess most hunter know this, but if you are like me missed this. I found that, hit the mobs and don't kill them, let them transform first, then kill. I got 4 in the last 10 kills. ok. maybe just being lucky, but doesn't hurt to try. good luck.

Commento di ripperd0c

Anyone know if this is a skill learned account-wide by all your hunters? Or just the hunter who uses the book?

Commento di dirtysock

Received 7 in a short amount of time, the drop seems very common.

Commento di rvnender

With the recent news every hunter in land is going to be here farming this now.

Including myself since I missed it the first time around.

Commento di Gamewizarddotexe

At some point this seems to have become soulbound and the drop rate increased. I cleared the camps on the eastern side and got 3 of them.

Commento di Joshmaul

Need this to tame Horridon (as of Patch 8.2).

Commento di bear4x

At least 200 kills, but it did drop. So it still drops, as of 7/23/2019. Once I used the tome, I could hunter-tame Direhorns.

Commento di IMissThottbot

As a Zandalari troll hunter, newly-created, looking at the link to this says "Already Known." I assume that means we come with it by default!

Commento di drpimento

I've killed the equivalent of troop carriers full of humanoids and haven't seen it

Commento di S463

I went there and got it in 15 minutes.

Commento di Cailler

See that boat on the southeast side with the giant dino on it? Go there. I spent a lot of time running in circles on the island, competing for kills with farmers. Went to the boat, no one there, got 4 in 1 sweep.

Commento di Edhan

As a 120 Orc Hunter I had to dismiss my pets and completely strip down to nothing - no equipment at all - to keep from one-shotting the Dinomancers and Primal Devilsaurs. It took me about 10 minutes of clearing out the boat and landing area before I was able to get the Tome. I still one-shot some of the Dinomancers. Also picked up all the Battle Pets. Remember to put all of your armor and weapons back on when you teleport out, though ahahahahaha No goin' home nekkid ;)

Commento di JCKIII

120 Hunter: Went to the party boat in the SE (great advice) stripped naked and started wailing on people- absolutely nothing but junk for over half an hour.

Got impatient and re-geared for a massacre. 2 books and a pet within 4 kills.

:D

Commento di mclarenz

Found that the best place to farm this is on the Zandalari ship, S-E of the isle. A lot of Dinomancers that respawn rather quickly.

Commento di Rapitata

I was trying to get this book with my friend, who also plays a hunter. In less than 30 mins, I managed to get 8 copies of this book. It took over one hour for my friend to get one... We were both killing Zandalari Dinomancers on the boat. I kept all of them in my inventory, but still think it’s a shame we can’t sell them on the auction house/trade them.

Commento di Y0L0

Can confirm Zandalari Trolls already know how to tame these.

Commento di Tekadan

I race changed from a darkspear troll to a maghar orc and it seems to of taken my ability to tame direhorns away, even though i had the book and had direhorns in my stablemaster, i contacted a gm and they gave me the ability back but keep in mind this may be a bug, or intented?

Commento di Hyrcyne

Seems like it has to be your hunter that needs the reputation to obtain it, and cannot be obtained by another class. Unknown if it unlocks the ability to tame Dragonkins for your other hunter(s).

Commento di randyclive

Hey All. Just wanted to add my 2 cents. It's extremely easy to get now. When you're at Isle of Giants just head over the Zandalari War Ship and massacre all the dinomancers there. It doesn't matter if they transform into a direhorn or not. Just 1 shot them and they drop this book like hot pancakes!

Commento di Omnos

Just went there and took me about 10-15minutes to get the book and 3 pets. First I went to the boat (South East) and cleared it, then went to the center of the map and about the 3rd kill dropped the tome.

Commento di Kraek

Fairly straightforward. I was there 10mins when it dropped. Running round the island is a waste of time. Go to the ship moored off the coast with the dinosaur on board (Lost World anyone?) loads of Dinomancers on board. Once on the ship it took 10 kills to drop.

Commento di silyar

To check if you have learned the tomes use the macros:

/run for k,v in pairs({=288956,=138430,=205154,=242155,=340826})do print(format('%s: %s', k, IsPlayerSpell(v) and '\124cff00ff00Yes\124r' or '\124cffff0000No\124r')) end

/run for k,v in pairs({=334850,=340825})do print(format('%s: %s', k, IsPlayerSpell(v) and '\124cff00ff00Yes\124r' or '\124cffff0000No\124r')) end

(Too long for one macro)

Commento di Brutalbarbie

So me and my friend did some science... we went to Isle of Giants but the way to get there was hard for him because he had to do the introduction to MOP, so we were reading that once we get there we could ignore the quests and start flying there. Yea no the introduction quest hub is long.

So plan A is a bust. Plan B is teleporting him to the shrine of two moons (Horde) and having me fly him to the Isle it was working till we got to the mobs, we attack the dino's like dire horns unware of the actually targets the tome doesn't drop for him or me because I was on my high level priest. He leaves group and attacked first so I can finish it the mob... still nothing at this point we think it's a level thing for the book to start dropping. He leaves back to the original questing area again thinking he needs to be level 35 to have the book drop. So I get on my level 32 hunter, and I see that the book drops from Dinomancy's and you'll have to wait for them to transform.

(I went to the boat and got killed by the big devilsaur) So I went to the shoreline, I see Dinomancy's and was like I wonder... I freeze one and kill the other he transformed and dropped the book on my first kill. I went and killed the other while he transformed so I can't confirm or denial that you need them to transform for them to drop the book but I couldn't get them to drop it on my priest and he was 21 With all this information You can't read the book until 35 so there is no point going there now are 20ish to farm the book I don't think anyways it didn't drop for him when he was there. -Shrugs-

Commento di cailynn72

I feel like perhaps the drop rate has increased. I cleared the boat full of dinomancers and received two tomes. Literally less than 10 minutes. Awesome!

Commento di Azurami

These scripts seems to work fine, for checking out what can you tame:
/run for k,v in pairs({=138430,=205154,=242155})do print(format('%s: %s', k, IsPlayerSpell(v) and 'Yes' or 'No')) end

/run for k,v in pairs({=54753,=62254,=61160,=62255})do print(format('%s: %s', k, C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(v) and 'Yes' or 'No')) end

Commento di comavtx

Just got mine after 10 min and 24x Zandalari Diomancer kill at 67.2 - 75.5

Commento di Kanegasi

I put together a single macro script to check all 10 hunter pet tome unlocks:
/run for n,i in next,{BloodB=54753,Gargon=61160,CloudS=62254,Undead=62255,Ottuk=66444,Dragon=72094,Fireowl=78842,Direhorn=138430,Mech=205154,Feather=242155}do print(i<99999 and C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(i) or i>99999 and IsPlayerSpell(i),n)end
