Think I've figured out how this guy works. Throughout Nazjatar, there are Algan Perduto and Algan Ribelle. In addition to having a chance to drop Prismatic Manapearls, they have a chance to respawn as the Rockweed Shambler.

Commento di TobiasAmaranth

Confirming: Rockweed Shambler spawned for me near-immediately after killing a Lost Algan. There may have been a slight delay, and he spawned nearby not right on top of me. 6 million HP and casts the seaweed spell, the healing spell, and a new spell that leashes you to a killable spawn.

Commento di Redron

Does it require some event or buff on you? Killed tons of Algans and nothing spawned.

Commento di Mati354

Hello I see that I am not the only one who has a problem with this rare i spend 6 h hunting Lost Algan and Wayward Algan and no rare so far, i think that there something we do not know, last rare of my list.

Commento di Dizart

Killed him right now, just flew and noticed a star on the map, he just stood in the naga group, outside the fountain. /way 63.50, 46.27 Inside the triangular construction of buildings on the map.

Commento di GeorgeJoe

Today killed it with a group of 40, after nearly 6 hours of killing both types of Algans. The weird thing is, shambler spawned around 19:00 Quel'thalas server time, in which we got a world quest too besides from getting shambler spawned. Coincidence? perhaps. Maybe it requires a kind of reset or has a timer?

Commento di JoshLike

He seems to be a Rare spawn of either Lost Algan or Wayward Algan. This Rare immediately reminded me of the Timeless Isle one, called Monstrous Spineclaw. I havent seen a lot of Wayward or Lost ones throughout the zone, and have seen the Rare Rockweed Shambler 2 times so far on different spots, one was in the far East near the drowned Market, aswell as far south in the Zone, so he doesnt seem to have a fixed spot as long as he respawns instead of the normal ones.

As far as the Pet Budding Algan goes, whenever i killed him first time it was in a Group of 5 and 2 people got the Pet (lucky me!), for the second kill i was not in a group, so im not sure how many Pets dropped that kill.

My advice if you don't want to farm/camp this Rare is that you regulary check the Groupfinder (atleast that's how i found mine), preferably with Warmode ON and camp in your Factions Mainhub in Nazjatar. Whenever a Group is up, check their Warmode and disable it if needed (you can disable Warmode in the Factions Hub, no need to go to a City!)

Best of Luck for you all, im pretty sure that this Rare is one of the harder Rares out there in Nazjatar!

Commento di TrueFighter

When you find him, Be kind and let others know in general chat or create group so others can kill it too, this rare is hard to find

Commento di Dahhaka

I've practically genocided the Algan race and haven't seen this guy once. I no longer know pain, suffering, weariness; I only know Algans now. Algans are my entire purpose, my entire being. Algans, algans, ALGANS.

ALGANS.

EDIT: It took over 4 hours of a full 40 man raid farming for this *!@#er and he finally showed his stupid goddamn face in the very center of the map. My crab mount was earned on the corpses of dead Algans, too numerous to count.

Commento di genuinemongoose

Sorry for avoiding the link rule, if a mod sees this and checks the screenshots, you can tell it's not spam.

Edit 2: On our 7th kill, it took us 15 mins to summon. 7 total kills, out of which one took very long and was told he was killed just as we started.

Edit: On our 6th kill, it took us 1h50m to spawn him, though, here's the interesting thing -- I was told he's been killed close to when we started as a group, which means he might have a respawn timer of ~1h++, either way, even if my past 5 kills have been really fast, this one was pain.

We have confirmed it 5 times in a row now: you must kill algans to spawn him BUT if you do it alone, as the others seemingly tried, you won't achieve anything. The area to cover and the things to kill just make this so inefficient that, of course, you won't see him, add the fact that he might've been killed before, so he's not ready to respawn and you've got a mix of frustration.

Proof for our latest kill:

ht tps://prnt.sc/oauswq

Here is the strategy we used. First, look at the areas where algans actually spawn:

http s://prnt.sc/oautlu

We had people just swarm / camp these zones and kill any algans on sight. I've killed him 5 times now using this, he always gives 7 manapearls. To anyone saying that "I did this too", if you do it alone, you can't even come close to the efficiency a group brings. I did see a comment about a group of 40 killing algans for 6 hours and not seeing anything, to me, that's one of two cases: either OP is lying or it bugged.

Commento di TatlTaelFail

After killing maybe a good 600 or so of the Algans, I finally got a spawn and I think I learnt a couple of things.

Firstly, it can spawn off Wayward Algan kills. ALL Algans appear to count, not just the Lost ones.

Secondly, it does indeed spawn right after a kill. HOWEVER, it does not appear to be guaranteed to spawn right on top of you. If it weren't for the fact that I had flying, I likely would have missed my spawn since it spawned maybe a few hundred yards away. And yes, I know this wasn't just someone else spawning it, because there was no body of an Algan near this spawn. This makes farming for this rare even more of a pain for those without flying, as covering an area around an Algan recently killed is much easier with flying.

Basically, after killing an Algan, make sure you are checking ALL immediate nearby spawn locations.

This list is a combination of the coordinates wowhead lists for this rare and places where i've personally found algans.
While flying between locations, i'm spamming the following target macro to target any algan, so i can make sure i've found something:

/tar Lost Algan
/tar Wayward Algan
/tar Rockweed Shambler

Eventually, i got my kill in the very south of the map near Prince Typhonus.

Happy hunting.

Commento di Fantasma

I heard there were rare mobs aplenty.
It's true, but there's one that eludes me.
Though people insist,
"The Shambler exists!"
In the end, I found the zone empty.

Commento di Lyariana

Sharing our group's experience farming this. The group ran for 7 hours, and was 20 - 30 men strong throughout. I joined about 3.5 hours in. We circled the Algan spawn points and constantly killed every Algan we found. We used the weak auras linked below, making them very easy to find.
Algan Identifier in Nazjatar
Nazjatar Algans

Eventually, after 3.5 hours, the Shambler spawned @ roughly 56,51 in the coral fields by Ekka's Hideaway.

We waited for the group to assemble and knelt down before the rare that none of us had ever seen.
Once all the group was there, we announced the rare in General Chat, and slowly took it down.

Things our group did that made it easier:
- We turned off all 'announce any rare spawns' Addons that announced to in general chat. It may seem mean, but we weren't spending hours farming this for someone else to nuke our kill before half the group got to the rare
- The RL announced in general chat about every 10 - 15 minutes that there was a farm going on this shard, so people would be aware of our group, and could join if they wanted to
- We linked the WAs to new people joining the group, so they could easily find the Algans.
- We did kill other rares as they came up (got a Packfather kill even!), but we didn't as a group, congregate and focus 'em down
- War Mode was Off, so Alliance couldn't steal the tag.

Good luck to everyone else!

Commento di Bisso

So after finding that guy on my alt rather than my main, the later on which I've been farming that last rare for more than a month now without success (over 500 Algans of all types). I started to wonder what was the deal with this guy.

I knew I remembered a comment stating they farmed that guy at daily reset time (11 am EST). This is also the time where basically all rare spawns, a naga commanders wave happens, etc. And it was also 11:15 or so when my alt found Shambler.

So today I decided to give it a shot. Log at 10:55, head to Nazjatar, and as soon as 11:00 pops and all the WQ and commanders pops. Start killing Algans. I found Shambler after the 5th Algans, was around 11:10, with Commanders still up.

For such a rare find, it's hard to know if this is pure luck or it is indeed time related. I would encourage people who struggle to finish the achievement due to this guy to give that a try. Maybe we can collect some more data here, figure out a real pattern.

This rare has been frustrating to say the least.

Commento di aernath

Killed it after months as the last rare of my achievement and let me inform you about the conclusion I have reached:

Shambler spawns in the place of killed Algans.
It does NOT pop right beside a killed Algan.

So, to farm it, you have to kill Algans and then return to those places again to check if it has spawned in their place.

Realizing this made me achieve the kill almost rightaway, because it has a 30 minute respawn timer and even if it was killed, it can respawn in the place of an Algan 30 minutes later.

Best of luck and patience to all you future Shambler Slayers! :)

Commento di bingowings

Killing algans for 2 hours in a raid group, finally spawned for someone who wasn't in our raid group, maybe if your in a raid group you don't qualify to spawn this rare? Someone else in the comments said they spawned the rare consistently in 30 mins farming the pet in a 5 man.

Commento di jasper02

Found it after ~1hr of flying around the whole zone in a loop killing every Algan that I could find.

It was not nearby any of my recently killed Algans, but I found it shortly after killing them.
It did not spawn in the place of a recently killed one.
I happened to find it in a place where I actually had not killed an algan before.

Other possibly useful information: I did this very late at night, between 4 and 6 AM so I was the only person in the zone.

It's helpful to use the algan tracking weakaura/plater script, set your nameplate viewing distance to max and follow
a loop around Nazjatar, based on the spawn points he has on the map above. Also, this should go without saying
but make sure you have RareScanner to let you know when Rockweed Shambler is nearby or you might miss it when flying around.

Commento di eismelone

Just killed him a few minutes ago:
I was farming for several hours making a big route across all spawn locations. I killed the last algan in the very north of the map, when I made my way back to the south, I realized that no algans respawned, eventhough they normaly would have. Also looked for corpses, as I thought someone else was also farming, but did not find any either. Arriving the south I found Rockweed Shambler and no one else was there (I also announced in chat, but it was in the middle of the night, so no one came). Seemed like I triggered him?

TLDR: Killed last algan in the north, no respawns came, Rockweed Shambler was in the south

Commento di moseskarada

Does anyone know if there's a HandyNotes built to track Algan spawn locations for this guy? I've tried the bulk importing tomtom coordinates into CopyPasta, but I must be doing it wrong because it's not working.

Commento di ForenscBones

Dang.....I just got so extremely lucky! This was the last rare I needed and I was worried after everyone was saying they couldn’t get him to spawn in like 6hrs or with a raid. 30 min. and 4 algan later he spawned right next to me! I’m super happy I didn’t have to spend hours and hours on him. Pet dropped too! Good luck everyone else!

Commento di sopwithcamel

I have been successfully able to spawn this rare using the following method:

Divide the map into 3 sections where the rare spawns: East, South, and West. Fly through each section noting where algans are already spawned and, more importantly, where they aren't (this takes practice to get to know each spawn area unless using the coordinates posted in the comments or an addon). Do this until you notice rares like Toxigore the Alpha and Elder Unu begin to spawn--unrelated but I have noticed that using them as a timer of sorts puts you closer to this rare's spawn timer.

Once you've noted this, start in either the East or West section and kill all algans (interrupt Algal Bloom on the Lost Algans) but ignore all new spawns of normal Algans in each area until your next pass. Be sure to fly to points where algans weren't previously in that zone to check for the rare spawn. Repeat for the South section and then the last section. If you don't see the rare after the last section immediately search the other two areas for the rare. If the rare still isn't found, and no corpse either, repeat your killing spree with the same method.

This usually takes me about 30 - 45 mins before it spawns. Good luck.

Commento di KhayleZerker

Had this rare as the last on my list, knowing it would be tough. Tried making it spawn on my own for a few days, to no avail. Did 4 hours each day, for three days.

I got it today - 01.01.2020. I decided to make a custom group to see if anyone would join. Was difficult at first, but around the 4h mark of grinding the algans, we were 30 people. We had counted every algan kills +/- a few, and ended up on around 300 kills during 4 hours before it spawned.

It spawned in the south area. Not sure if it spawned on the body of another after a kill, or if the raid member discovered it. We called him out, and we had a warlock banish Rockweed Shambler until everyone got there. I raid warned the location.

As everyone else mentioned, you just have to grind it out and not get too fixated on the details of his spawn. Make a group, do your best and grinding is the only option. Thankfully this was the day.

Commento di thetick2

Suffer not the Algan to live.

Commento di Ragahnsiir

I have a theory regarding this guy's spawn.

One of the people in the comments said they believe any algan has a chance to spawn this rare instead of dropping a prismatic pearl.

If you pay attention, you might notice that there's a far higher chance to get prismatic pearls/benthic gear on the first couple of kills after a daily reset. This leads me to believe that algans either have a specific limit on how many pearls/gear they can drop per day, or that the chance for either to drop decreases per every kill, only resetting after reset.

I wanted to see if waywards and lost ones shared this drop chance.
So, what I did was create two macros, one targeting only Lost algans, and one targeting only Wayward algans.

I killed some 2 Lost ones before they stopped dropping gear/pearls, never again dropping a single one of either despite killing some 100.

I then switched to Waywards and instantly got benthic and pearls from the first 3, after which nothing again.

So, assuming that there is a limit or chance decrease per kill, I reckon they do not share the same limit.

As others have said, the rare can spawn from Wayward algans.

In large groups, where people join and leave all the time, it's hard to keep track of how many each person has killed or whether someone who just joined got the rare to spawn.

Of course, I have no proof besides my observations, which I, naturally, didn't bother writing down, so don't take this theory as fact.

An interesting observation is that two rare algans spawned within 5 minutes of each other, one on warmode and one in normal mode. If that means anything or if it's pure luck, hell if I know, and I don't care.

Working with my boyfriend, we worked in a circular pattern using the Way Points listed in the comments. I recorded the targets we hit (using the macro) and noticed that the Algan came back between 20-45 min roughly. After about 2.45 I found him under the water in the bloodfin murloc area. Another Algan was found there at least 2 times during our rounds. He has a self heal so make sure you interrupt!

I've been trying for days (weeks?) on and off to get this guy to spawn. It's boring, monotonous work, and it's not in the slightest bit fun or engaging.

Commento di Kirkaf

Not sure if this has been nerfed or not, however, I put together a quick raid yesterday of about 20 people. I just listed in group finder under "Rockweed Shambler" and got quite a few people to join the group. We maybe only farmed Algan for an hour at most? It ended up spawning above New Home. I know a lot of people here are saying this took hours and huge 40-man groups, so I was prepared for the worst. Could just be luck or they may have increased the spawn rate. Just wanted to share my current experience.

Commento di mrpoolman

Farmed solo for about 4 days 4 hours each day with nothing to show for it. Joined a group of 10 today and we farmed for another 4 hours. Still nothing. What an absolute cock of a rare.

Edit: another hour of farming and he finally spawned. I killed the rare "Allseer Oma'kill" And Rockweed Shambler spawned right down the hill at 69 38.

No idea if there's a correlation but there it is boys. My journey complete. Thanks for the crabs blizzard.

Commento di jodle

Once you see it follow my advice.

1. Tag him immediately. He doesn't hit hard. A little selfhealing now and then will keep you alive (even mages can selfheal with the right trait!)
2. Make a group in the groupfinder. there are people outthere who only needs this one before they can get their ach mount. And they have waited for it for months!
3. Wait until everyone is there
4. If somebody outside your group start nuking him, tell him/them to stop until your group is in place
5. When your group is in place announce in /locadefense that rockweed shambler is up
6. You will be everybody's hero

I feel sorry to the paladin who joined my group, but never made it to the rare before rockweed was dead as I had one of my dumbest moments in the game right there. He only needed this one. :(

Commento di Mieu91

Yesterday, for the first time ever I finally saw rockweed shambler. I have been trying for a very long time, just killing algans and occasionally joining farming groups with no luck. This rare we by far the worst one for spawn rate. It's RNG on top of RNG. Yesterday, I was in a farming group of about 15-20 people (WM off, can't have the other faction messing this up!) and we were farming for about 4-5 hours. Finally it spawned on the south side of the map (near where prince typhonus spawns) and we typed in general chat, as we all gathered around it and once everyone was there we killed it. My only advice is to try and join farming groups as often as you can and keep at it. Good luck!

Save yourself a lot of clicking: Algan Identifier

Commento di letsdothis

Got this @#$% of a !@%^$ after a lot of research. First go get the addon "Silverdragon" then if you are just missing Rockweed Shambler, you'll only see his spawn points as red skulls. Since he only spawns where the killed Algon spawn points are then those locations shown on your map is where algons are! It took me 1:30 hr. Happy hunting!

Commento di Rockatansky

One of the more difficult rares to find in Nazjatar. I must've killed hundreds of Lost Algan's and Wayward Algan's over the course of a few days. Finally he popped in a marked location using the addon Silver Dragon - highly recommend as you can pick and choose which rares you want to hunt down in the addon settings.

Recommend the following macro to spam while doing your search:

/cleartarget
/tar Lost Algan
/tar Wayward Algan
/tar Rockweed Shambler
/cleartarget
/stopmacro
/run PlaySound(12867); SetRaidTarget("target", 01); print(date().." "..UnitName("target"));
/point

1. The Lost Algan's have more health than the Wayward Algan's.

2. Always focus on interrupting the Lost Algan's healing spell after they drop below 50% health or they can become annoying quickly.

3. Focus on interrupting the weaker Wayward Algan's slow spell (Lost Algan also casts this) just to save yourself some time.

4. When killing one, move-on to the next location via Silver Dragon (little red skulls will be on your map). Rockweed Shambler isn't going to immediately respawn in the exact spot you killed an Algan - at least, I've never read of this happening to anyone while doing research nor did it happen while on my hunt.

5. Rockweed Shambler has 6.3 million health and some sort of damage reduction going on even though nothing shows up in his buffs. He took me around 4-5 minutes to kill as a 450 Monk Brewmaster and I was very worried horde was going to drop in any second and take the kill. Not smart on my part to be in War Mode during this so I recommend turning it off while searching for this particular rare. He'll cast the usual abilities that the other Algan's also cast which you should definitely be accustomed to by now. None of which are worrisome except for the healing spell once dropping below 50% health. Focus on that.

Happy Hunting!

Commento di Ajfree

I may have gotten insanely lucky but here is what I used to kill it solo after an hour:

1. I played at 3am server time with warmode on. The zone was mostly empty, I was waiting for Rifornire gli assassini while killing Algans

2. The only addon I used was npcscan and Paste for the list of Algan spawn points found in one of the top comments on this.
/npcscan add 152549 Lost Algan
/npcscan add 151166 Wayward Algan
/npcscan add 150583 Rockweed Shambler

3. I killed maybe 20 Algans before Rockweed Shambler appeared on my npcscan and I killed it. It has a healing ability called Bocciolo d'Alga which you should kick.

The main point of this comment is that if you are farming for it solo, do it when the server is mostly dead.

This is an Import for people using Routes and Routes Import/Export. You can combine it well with Farm Hud to speed up your Algan genocide. Just giving back to the community :)

Commento di Vyola

Just killed it while a 25 man raid WM Off after 3 hours killing both kind of Algans, spawned in the small lake in front of alliance base (which make sense when many people said in comments here that it spawns in same Lost Argans spots), he droped the pet for 4 players, of course I'm not one of them *cry*.
Personally I use the macro spam to find algans but almost everyone in the raid were saying about how Weak Aura links makes the targeting much easier.
If you are trying to get this kill with WM-ON, don't waste your time like I did for weeks, of course you can be lucky and get it but it just much more easier do it with the comunity of WM-OFF.

Good Hunting!

Commento di Tynael

Blizz, please, for the love of God and what's holy, increase the spawn chance of this rare.
It's not even fun nor engaging to mindlessly kill Algans for 7+ hours.

Commento di AeaeaeNL

1.) Have a free evening / night
2.) Create a group (the more the better)
3.) Bring food and drinks
4.) Bring a good mood
5.) Have patience
6.) Kick aholes because a.) you will spend a long time with them, b.) everyone needs to tag him

Good luck and eventually it will spawn

Commento di wowZhenek

10 hours of algan slaying and no spawn. I got fabious mount and a soundless spawned (did not drop the mount) before this piece of trash spawned. Yi-ke-ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Commento di biggaz13

Hours you will never get back
Create these 2 macros:
/target Lost Algan
/target Wayward Algan
Make sure you have the addon 'Silver Dragon' up and running

Go around spamming the 2 macros and kill those Algans. After quite a few hours I was flying my usual pattern when Silver Dragon went off telling me the Rockweed Shambler was nearby (I had already killed every other rare it alerted me to hours earlier). I panicked because I couldn't even see it on the mini map. I flew a few more seconds and it came into view at 67 49. I was bad and just hit it straight away in case it despawned or some other clever Blizzard trick. Within the minute I was joined by about 3 Horde players. Retrospectively I should have put it on General Chat but the anxiety and stress when it finally spawned got to me.......

Throughout the day I kept checking Group Finder however I never saw a group formed for this. In my hours of killing Algans I did not come across anyone else on the same journey. I could have soloed the Rockweed at 194 Shadow Priest but it would be a slow burn. As it was it took the 4 of us four minutes to complete

It does work. Good luck

Commento di FLEUR95

Spent 7 hours+ killing algas for a random player to just walk by it kill it without announcing it.
Been looking for it for 7 months he's the last one i need for my mount.

Update: I just got it 5 mins ago, afyer less than 30 mins of killing algans.
Crab is mine !

Commento di Travy

For those just getting around farming this, worth noting that he doesn't replace a spawn of a normal algans but rather eventually killing algan which cause him to trigger a spawn. Fortunately he popped up right next to me during my farm.

Commento di Taenthl

Found after 40 minutes of killing algans, had two friends grouped but luckily it spawned next to me. Good luck to anyone else trying to find this!

Commento di Cherrymorphine

Finally got the kill this morning after spending 3 days farming about 4-5 hours per day. I can honestly say there really is no strategy here, it's just rng luck and killing a ton of Algans with the macros listed below. Also, communication is key, so be sure to announce in general if anyone has seen the rare and/or farming it. I was fortunate enough to find someone who was also on the hunt, and they messaged me the moment he popped and waited for me to get there. Good luck!

Commento di Dreadalous

I have never seen one in Naga Controlled Territory if that helps and I killed a lot of Algans
Typical. Just when I decide to make one last round I find it at 68.90 / 42.65.
I made a group and listed it. Myself and 3 others waited 5 minutes and nobody answered in general chat or signed up so we killed it slow.

Ty SOO much to marsmage's macro:
/tar Lost Algan
/tar Wayward Algan
/tar Rockweed Shambler

This made it BEYOND easy!

Commento di schnizol

needed about 2 hours of killing algans... but I got the pet and the mount from achiev.

Commento di Angerblow

Finally killed this rare last night, around 00:30. He was hanging around murloc village, in the pond. I didn't kill many algans beforehand (did some quarter-long flybys for 3 days).
A little pain in the back on shadowpreist due to the ridiculously long silence cooldown, as this mob heals pretty fast. I shared a location pin on the zone chat and in a 2-men party, it was a walk in the park.

Commento di TohruTheDragon

I found the Errante delle Alghe Rocciose in 2 hours today and successfully killed him as well :)
Here is some info that I made use of on my adventure:

I spammed a macro while flying around a set path to target every single Algan Perduto and Algan Ribelle (and the Errante delle Alghe Rocciose itself eventually)
Make sure that you kill every single target that the macro targets.

Here is the macro, that I have modified a bit, and used: (Thanks to Rockatansky for the original macro.)
(I changed the raid icon that gets put on the target, and I removed the sound that plays when you target something. And I also removed the chat message when you target something)
/cleartarget
/tar Lost Algan
/tar Wayward Algan
/tar Rockweed Shambler
/cleartarget
/stopmacro
/run SetRaidTarget("target", 08);

And here is an import for the Routes addon route that I created and followed:
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

Please note that to import this route into your Routes addon, you have to install the Routes Import/Export addon, that you can install from Curse.

Here is an image of the route:
https://i.imgur.com/YDqrLno.png

The route touches every single Algan Perduto and Algan Ribelle spawn point, so you will surely not miss anything. (The Errante delle Alghe Rocciose also spawns on the same route)
But make sure to always fly near the ground to be able to see every mob that is up! (And don't fly into the Naga zone, where you can't mount)

I also used NPCScan, and I added Errante delle Alghe Rocciose in the "custom npc" list to make sure the addon tracks this rare. (The id of Errante delle Alghe Rocciose is: 150583)
To be able to follow the route easily, check out the FarmHud addon on Curse, that literally puts the route in the center of the screen (You can toggle this with a hotkey that you can bind)

Best of luck and Happy hunting! :)

Commento di rayaway

For whoever is looking for this rare and don't want to spending time camping, just go looking for it over the map ***RIGHT AFTER*** the sever reset.

I got it today Tuesday 10:20am where US server resets. It just right there at right side of the map. It has lots of health and can heal so it will take sometime for one player to kill. You have enough time to fly around the map and find it.

I found this rule also apply to those rares that you need to kill bunch regular for rare spawning, like rare snail/slug/crab. A good way to farm pets at least once per week.

Commento di Rozz22

Finally had this guy spawn after about 2 hours of killing Algans doing in 2022.
I used the coordinates listed in the comments and did a circular route of the zone killing all the algans I found.
I used a target macro and a weakaura both listed in this comment section to make this easier.
I suggest doing this with warmode on and late at night, since each algan kill has a chance to spawn this rare, and you dont want to be farming it just for a random person to run down and kill it without you noticing, so make sure you do it when its quiet.

Commento di dumpztrbaby

Found him 6 minutes after server reset on a Wednesday after flying around the map once killing algans. But that was after doing the same thing many many other resets for hours + so I think if he doesn't spawn shortly after reset and killing algans it's probably a loss til the next one.

Commento di Bloodcountess

somehow my comment got removed... I found out that there's no 30 min spawn timer for lost algans like others have stated here. Me and some others were killing algans late in the evening in the hope of spawning the rockweed shambler, following the route all throughout the map. At some point they left so I thought I'd let all the algans respawn so I could start over fresh. I waited for an hour circling the same route and nothing new spawned. I then killed 2 algans to test it out, and only 2 new algan spawns showed up on the entire route. So it seems there's a fixed number of algans that are up at any given time and killing one makes another take its place somewhere else. That means that when you kill one algan, the rockweed shambler can spawn at any other empty algan spawn point (and there are a lot) wether it be the empty spawn point right next to where you killed the algan or maybe one on the other side of the map, making it virtually impossible to do nowadays if other people are rare hunting in nazjatar as well. You won't even know if you've spawned one on the other side of the map and someone else who was nearby jumped on it and killed it instantly. So I suggest doing this on an empty server or late at night when no one else is around.

Commento di ChildsoftheMoon

This guy just won't spawn. It took me about 6 hours of farming Algan's today before it finally spawned.

Commento di Ticity

Pain :)

Commento di data261

shoutout to peeps farming in 2023! hehe

found out about this guy about a month ago and been farming in the mornings before resets with no luck. today i finally found him for the first time....dead. heartbreak cause chances are i was probably responsible for spawning him with the amoutn of algans i had just murdered in previous 30 minutes. dejectedly decided to keep going since i had 15 more minutes to kill before daily reset (he could technically spawn in that time).

i wish i was making next part up

ya'll i killed ONE algan...mounted...flew forward another 20 yards...and there he was again taking a swim by the murlocs in NW corner

i still cant believe it..

anyway...farm finally complete!

Commento di eyekahn

The posts here are good, and also correct: The Rockweed Shambler shares a spawn with the other ALgen. Ajfree posted the things you can add to your NPC Scanner (or Silver Dragon. whatever your jam is)>

I flew and spammed this macro looking for trouble, took out the non-shamblers, and 2 hours later there he was.

Macro:
/tar rockweed shambler
/tar lost algan
/tar wayward algan

Commento di Nevarii

I had killed a couple of Algans before he spawned not far away from me. SilverDragon alerted me and I could take him down. It was a bit scary since it was in warmode and I didn't know at first you had to interrupt a healing spell he casts. He heals a good chunk if you don't interrupt his Algal Bloom. Maybe in the next one-two expansions you can ignore this but since BFA only is two expansions ago you can't deal enough damage to just nuke him down without caring about his healing (or at least not with 260 ilvl like me).

Commento di Mestah

I made an account just so I could add a comment.

I've been timing myself over the past few weeks. I've now passed 20 hours and well over 1,000 Algans killed. I haven't seen him once, not even a corpse. So consider yourself lucky if you have even seen him.

Commento di Incandio

I solo farmed this, killing algans for about an hour during the early hours. It spawned within view of my last kill, might be a thing to bear in mind. Not as bad as I feared.

Commento di SooPurple

He had spawned for me and a Party Member today - South East of the Map; just right of the "Spears of Azshara" map text. I have about 12 hours or so wrapped up on him Killing around 500-600+ Algans.

Some tips that helped me is:
-Download Rare Scanner, and the Scanner subsidiary for the Nazjatar Rares
-Download WeakAuras and use "Algan Identifier in Nazjatar". This will auto target any algans that you find also makes a Thunder Sound. Go to Wago . io to get the import for this.
-Download Handynotes, and each time you kill a Algan, mark it on your map. (Alt + RightClick). I marked my map with red X's on each kill point just to help give myself a better route to consistently kill more Algans.
-Spam the General Channel (Type " /1 " to join) and every 20 mins or so, ( Looking for Rockweed Shambler? Join my Hunting Party to kill Algans in helps of getting him to Spawn!) This has surprised me on actually how many other party members were wanting to join to help.) I am on a High Pop/ Full Server so this may differ for other folks...
-Also just letting other people know you are hunting for him, my have someone who comes accross him, and will report that he has spawned.

I believe the key is to try to get another party / friend / guild member to hunt for 1-2 hours sessions in efforts to kill as many Algans as fast as possible to help the chances of getting him to Spawn.
I hope this helps someone else.

Good Luck!

Commento di Facethievery1

For the rest of us doing this in 2024 and beyond, you're going to have two approaches to finding this rare:

A) Find some buddies. With three people and dragonflying, you'll be able to assign players to search parts of the zone (East/West/South). This will reduce the risk of a rockweed being missed while mowing down algans. I had a group of four and we were killing about one algan a minute.

B) Go solo, ideally at an off peak hour. You want as few people online as to reduce the risk of a rockweed being killed while you're elsewhere on the map. This is how I personally got my kill.

I had tried a party and after about an hour of fruitless search people started dropping. Either someone missed the spawn or we never spawned the rare in the first place. I still think it's the better method even though it did not work out for me (I did only try it once, however)

Commento di Thoridann

I got it after about 7 hours.

Commento di estarianne

To the jerk that stole my spawn, karma will come for you.

Also is there a respawn timer? *cry*

Commento di Rainieri

I easily got this guy by logging into a RP realm that had just reset, so there is no requirement to kill Algans to get it to spawn.

Commento di Kegatron

Right... 2024! This was the worst rare for me to find.

I am on a high pop server (EU-Silvermoon) - I tried phasing with friends on low pop realm, no luck.
I stayed in Warmode
I came here to hunt around 1am-2am and FINALLY GOT HIM!

I used the co-ords from another comment and flew around the map over and over and over and OVER killing the Algans.
Used this macro:

/tar Lost Algan
/cleartarget
/tar Wayward Algan
/cleartarget
/tar Rockweed Shambler
/cleartarget

Goodluck! It exists <3

Commento di Priscilla519

I was able to get this guy to spawn at the southern end of Tide's Fall after farming the zone for an hour. I had WM ON around 2:30 in the morning. I'm pretty sure I was the only one in the zone. I think I got lucky reading all the comments here. Sometimes all you need is a little bit of luck. Achievement finished. ^,^
