Peguei na segunda tentativa .-. acho que estou com sorte afinal a montaria do cavaleiro sem cabeça veio de primeira.

Tava fazendo a Masmorra pra upar, nível 83 ainda e peguei o meu, e nem tenho gold pra comprar permissão de voar e usar...

Comentário de 1061800

A masmorra pode ser facilmente solo no nível 90+. Lembre-se que você pode fazer a masmorra no modo normal, e a chance de drop é a mesma que no heroico, e também lembre-se que isso significa que você pode fazer quantas vezes desejar a masmorra no mesmo dia! Apenas leve em consideração que você apenas poderá resetar a instância cinco vezes por hora.

Ao derrotar o boss, você pode clicar no teleportador que há no canto para voltar á entrada da instância e resetar.

Você também pode evitar o primeiro boss, quando Millhouse o atrair, basta você não entrar em combate, seguir caminho, e ele não irá atacá-lo.

Fiz um vídeo mostrando a mount, e a run aqui.

A Rédeas do Draco de Pedra Vítreo dropa do segundo boss da masmorra Litocerne o Couro-pétreo e tem 0.78% de chance de drop.

Localização da Masmorra

A masmorra Litocerne fica no mapa do Geodomo

*Para acessar este mapa você precisa iniciar as quests Ordens do Chefe Guerreiro: Geodomo! para a Horda e O chamado ao heroísmo: Geodomo! para Aliança. Assim que completar a sequência de quests será liberado um portal na cidade principal de sua facção, que dará acesso ao mapa do Geodomo

Portal em Ventobravo
Portal em Orgrimmar

O Boss e Farmando a Montaria

A masmorra fica nesta parte do mapa e a montaria pode ser farmada tanto no modo normal quanto no modo heroico da masmorra.

Assim que entrar na masmorra, terá um grupo de adds. Ataque o Millhouse Manavento ele vai fugir e ativar o próximo grupo de adds. São 3 até chegar ao primeiro boss. É necessário matar as 3 levas de adds para ativar o primeiro boss.
Este boss pode ser pulado, é só seguir pela masmorra a esquerda. Se quiser mata-lo é só zergar e dar a maior quantidade de dano no inicio da luta.

O próximo boss é o Couro-pétreo. Pontos que você deve ficar atento durante a luta

Surgirão círculos pretos no chão. Não fique em cima.
Não fique na nuvem de fumaça que o boss conjurará
Não fique na área com fogo que o boss conjurará.

É só zerga-lo.

Assim que matar o Couro-pétreo é liberado um portal a frente. Este portal da no inicio da masmorra. O que facilita caso você queira faze-la novamente. Ação possível se ela for feita no modo normal, que permite a ida na mesma masmorra mais de uma vez.
Aconselho farmar esta montaria no modo normal.

This mount drops from the instance on both normal and heroic mode. Amazing looking mount. The idea (Note: the idea, not the actual item) is similar to the Blue Proto-drake from Utgarde Pinnacle in Northrend - simply a rare drop in a dungeon, no strings attached. Amazing nevertheless.

I love the concept, a mount which actually carries you in it's clutches.I only wish they would change to appear like it really does carry you in it's grasp.Currently it looks like your ridding on air near/in its hands.Again it's a great concept and hopefully when the team does get some time they can revisit this and make a quick change to this.

Been running stonecore a lot, heard a lot of odd theories on how it drops. It's just an ordinary rare drop. There's no trick to it at all.

Except maybe prayer or sacrificing animals to the loot gods.

Comentário de 255865

Did you guys notice the sound the drake makes when it runs on the floor? its like the core hounds / devilsaurs (prenerf?).

Comentário de 526895

Finally got this mount after 32 SOLO runs as a BM/Surv hunter on normal. I've also written a little Hunters guide below ^_^

There are a total of 3 groups you MUST kill and each group has a total of 4 mobs, which the exception of Millhouse, the little gnome guy being in the first group and each group consists of Stonecore War-bringers, Berserkers, and Earthshapers.

Go Survival so you have more CC & start with the 2nd to last group and work your way to the first.

Always CC the Berserkers first and save them for last as they have a nasty AoE bleed effect which can take out a nice chunk of health if your not careful. Use Tranquilizing shot when Warbringers enrage and always kill the Earthshapers first as they are the easiest and don't forgot to scatter shot when they use Dust storm.
(Note: After you take one out, it is best if you dismiss your pet & FD so you can kill the next mob w/ full health)

When you finally get rid of the 2 groups then its time to take out Millhouse! All you have to do is to CC two of the mobs and just burn him down. After he runs away just sacrifice/dismiss your pet and FD.

Once the first boss shows up put on your Camo and Cheetah and just run past the tunnel. As for the Boss just keep up Mend Pet and use cower & shell shield if you feel the need too and most importantly be careful of LoS during the 2nd phase.

Good luck everyone! I did this w/ an iLevel of 338 if that helps lol.

EDIT: I've stopped playing quite some time ago; so this little guide is now slightly outdated. Please read some of the new helpful comments below.

Comentário de hkspoon

Finally dropped on my 40th attempts on regular Stonecore. I solo this instance on my Prot paladin with mostly heroic tank gears and few purple rep gears. There are 3 set of trash at the beginning of the instance; as Prot paladin I just go in tank and spank and use Word of Glory whenever I have 3 holy powers.

Also, all the trash pulls after the first boss can be avoid therefore don't waste time trying to solo the big elemental down because their adds and quake hit very hard.

Few things I recommend for Paladin when fighting Slabhide.

- Use Seal of Insight
- Save holy power for Word of Glory
- Devotion Aura is your best friend
- Use Flash of Light when Slabhide is in the air

Good luck everyone.

Comentário de 766879

Confirming this is solo-able by an affliction warlock. Used a succubus and fear/coex to control the mob packs. No need to run out of instance picking one off at a time. With good control you can manage the full groups.. even though it does get dicey sometimes. For the last group with Millhouse, drop an infernal. You only need to get him to half health before he runs to spawn the first boss. Exit instance then re-enter.

Run down to Corborus, and head down the cavern. Watch the crystal giant that is patrolling up and down.. follow down as far as he will go then pop an invisibility potion (they're 1g on my server). That will get you to Slaghide.

Slaghide is an easy fight... in theory. Just make sure to keep your Voidwalker topped, use Demon Soul on CD and Soulshatter as normal. The tough part is finding your Voidwalker getting stuck in the one of the falling rocks. Whether it falls on him, or he gets pushed back into one by Slaghide, 2/3 of the time my VW will get permanently stuck in one of those, completely line of sight and unable to recall or move no matter what you do. He dies soon after without the health funnel and so do I. I don't know if hunters have been experiencing the same issue with they're pets, but it's quite frustrating to deal with.

So go in planning on spending some time on this... and some gold for the repair bill.

Comentário de strifeseh

Hoping they add sounds to this mount soon (don't mind the near silent flight compared to the other drakes, but kind of a bummer that using /mountspecial does the animation, but no roar). There is also still somewhat of visual glitch when riding it, you sit inside the saddle rather then on it (granted, i like this much more then the oddness of the original mounting visual, but still).

Comentário de 793750

For those who solo'd the dungeon: how long does 1 run take on average?
And how many can you do a day? Is there a maximum?

I got a tankadin on one account and a healadin on my wife's account.
Thinking about combining their strengths, should be easy runs, i hope...

Comentário de 538990

Confirmed to still drop in normal, whether it's a mistake or not, nobody knows. Me (Prot paladin) and my cousin (destro warlock) 2 manned it for a few hours before it dropped, and I won the roll. Nice looking mount. With a tank and dps we were going at about 10-14 minutes per run with the use of potion of invisibility to skip the trash after the first boss (although we never killed the first boss, you can just run right past him) so for a Slabhide kill the only trash you need to kill is the first 3 pulls with the gnome mage guy.

Comentário de 185932

For any ferals out there soloing for this on regular:

In the initial pulls you can kill Milhouse to send him to the next group and then reset the groups by shadowmelding or running out of the instance. This isn't necessary if you're confident in your gear, but anything to make the experience easier, ya know? You do have to kill the first 2 packs at least, however, otherwise he will keep running back to the 2nd group if you kill him at the 3rd group without clearing. EDIT FOR CLARITY: Only the 2nd set of mobs needs to be dead for Milhouse to run to his proper position after being defeated at the 3rd set of mobs. However, the 2nd pack of mobs will aggro the first set if the first isn't cleared.

There are two strategies I used for clearing the trash:

The fast way: charge in and rotate survival cds while using berserk. I was able to do this and end the pulls with ~30% health without using Frenzied Regen (I was in my normal tank spec/glyphs so it wouldn't have done much anyway). However, I'm fully raid geared with a smattering of heroic raid loot, so this strategy is not for everyone. You could also pull with a root on a Berserker since Berserk caps at 3 targets, but I didn't bother.

The slow way: This route definitely benefits from using the trick I mentioned earlier to get Milhouse out of the group so there's one less thing to worry about. Before you pull use Nature's Grasp to get it on CD and start by rooting a Berserker. I liked to keep this Berserker as my focus so I could watch my roots and reapply when necessary. Your primary target (assuming Milhouse is gone) should be the Earthshaper as it is the only caster. Make sure your Nature's Grasp roots melee away from the Earthshaper so you don't keep getting hit while they're rooted. Go cat form and burn the Earthshaper down asap, it shouldn't be too hard to get him down in time to reapply your roots before your Nature's Graps break. Go bear as you should now have 2 melee on you and 1 rooted. If you need to re-root (you probably will) start by cycloning one of the others to cut down on extra damage while in caster form. Don't worry about your health too much because once you are down to 2 targets you can cyclone 1 while keeping the 2nd rooted and heal to your heart's content. Using this strategy I was able to clear each pack without using CDs and never dipping below ~60% health.

The first boss and the trash after him are completely skippable.

Slabhide himself is actually remarkably easy. If you can survive an entire ground phase, you can solo him. Just play how you normally would as bear. Pop Berserk on CD so it goes faster, just make sure you get the full duration before an air phase. I'd also recommend staying on the move while he's grounded just because the fire pools will almost constantly be spawning under you.

During Air phase immediately get some heals running on yourself. I use LBx3, Regrowth, HTx2 before he lands. My spec has 1/2 Nurturing Instinct and I was able to heal around 1/2 my HP each air phase with this. 2/2 Nurturing Instinct would probably be a good idea at lower gear levels. Also, if you still feel you're falling behind on healing if you apply your initial stacks of LB while running away from the center you can gain yourself time for a refresh on your LB after the 2nd HT as he runs to you. I do NOT recommend using Tranquility. It's a pretty good heal, but it's very easy to get RNG'd by having a rock start to fall on you and tranq doesn't really get effective unless you can channel it long enough to get all 3 stacks.

Comentário de 247627

Not sure if it's been mentioned or not, but also easily to solo on a blood DK wearing nothing but heroic blues and crafted/rep epics. The only time I had any issues was on the first three groups of mobs. Having no cc or stuns made it a bit rough with the first three pulls, and I tend to die shortly after killing the first add. But after the first one is down, I'm able to take out the rest without issue.

The boss is easy. Just keep Blood Shield up and you should have no issues (assuming you stack mastery like most Blood DKs).

Comentário de dardack

Just an FYI to everyone. You can't skip/reset trash after milhouse. Otherwise next group the previous group/groups come at you, if you can get milhouse to 50% and able to reset before those groups kill you, then your good. Usually tho he stuns me and the previous group reaches me.

DK solo's this and VP every day at least once per day. Sigh, GL all.

Comentário de 774178

Got mine today, 70th run solo. Protection Paladin glyphed Lay on Hands, Word of Glory, Seal of Insight, Dazing Shield, 2/2 Guarded by the Light too. Used Seal of Insight/BOK for trash and Seal of Insight/BOM for slabhide, 8-10 mins per kill. Nuked 1st 5 trash Earthshaper-Millhouse-Rest, then skipped 2nd pack nuked 3rd pack Earthshaper 1st-Rest, back to 2nd pack Millhouse-Ran out. Skipped 1st boss, Invis pot past trash to Slabhide. When he lands stay back 15 yards no breath use Word of Glory every 2-3 Holy Powers, rotate the 3 def cooldowns when needed, Lay on Hands if needed(not usually) and Holy Radiance if required during wings, 1st 10-20 runs I used bandage during air phase, works great but after more practice rarely needed them, easy kill.
Gear was crafted belt/shield, Rep wrists/feet/cloak and rest 346 hc greens, around 155k health, trash is harder than Slabhide, get that down and you got an easy ride, just make sure you do it before the upcoming Word of Glory nerf ;-)

Comentário de Vacc

As a feral I've been doing it like this:

Full tank spec and tank gear.

Trash pack 1 + 2: Use your defensive cooldowns + berserk off the bat. Focus the earthshaper for interrupts and nuke Milhouse down. Afterwards I go Earthshaper > Warbringers > rest. Reason I do that is because you can backpedal and constantly attack the warbringers where the other ones will stop all the time to whirlwind so you take a lot less damage.

If you get in trouble use Natures Grasp and step out to heal a litt.e

Trash Pack 3: I simply do the same but once Milhouse is dead follow him a litte, Shadowmeld to reset the pack and carry on. From here you can stealth straight to Slabhide.

Boss:
Tank her in Bear over on top of the teleporter. You'll need to move every few seconds but I just usually circle her. Don't use CDs at the start as she flies straight up so just give yourself a LB+Rejuv and wait. After this you should spread out your Survival cooldowns each ground phase. You should be able to use Barkskin on every one and spread SI and FrR out on alternating ones. Everytime she turns to go up, go caster and start healing. I use Rejuv, 3xlb, regrowth, nourish, rejuv (she usually has landed and cast a lava here) and one more LB to extend stack then bear just as she gets to me.

Not much to it other than that. The fight takes me about 8 minutes.

Good luck!

Comentário de 610103

During my first couple solo attempts as a BM hunter, my pet would get stuck in the rock and it really aggravated me. So, I found a way to avoid this from happening.
When Slabhide goes in the air for his airphase, put your pet on passive and he will run back to you and its just up to you to avoid getting hit by the fallen rocks. Once he has about a second left in his airphase, just put your pet back on defensive and he will rush back at Slabhide without being stuck. =)

Hope this helps!

Comentário de Luvaria

Able to solo him as a feral druid in full tank gear with this spec. It's a standard tank spec. I'm in about 365 iLvl gear. If you're in much less I'd recommend grabbing Nurturing Instinct as you'll be healing a lot during air phases. Pull him near the walls so you get more time with him running back and forth as you can, pop enrage and berserk as often as you can, and just DPS him down in bear form. I want to see if I can use NI and only pop LBx3 and go into cat form for the air phases and put Rake + Rip up and see how much faster he dies or if I die. With the extra + healing and healing taken from the HoTs in cat form, I think I could forgo at least the HT's I had to throw otherwise.

Comentário de Tsukushi

Definitely still drops in normal mode. Been solo farming on my marks hunter for 2 days on and off and it dropped on run #31. Takes anywhere between 10-15 minutes per run, the only minor setback being that the stones that drop in 2nd phase of Slabhide can land on your pet and bug it out and you will be unable to heal it because of line of sight issues. If that happens, do your best to distracting shot and kite the boss until the stones disappear and you'll be able to heal it again. Good luck to all that are farming, it's very much worth it!

SOLOING STONECORE TIP (for SV Hunters)

Supplies needed:
1) Preferrably SV spec, but this is doable with any spec
2) Tenacity pet, spec him into mitigation/threat/resist etc... basically,make him nice and durable
3) Don't suck

There are several excellent tutorials on soloing Stonecore (for the drake needless to say). Although they present effective ways of CC'ing, I found that method to be too high-maintenance..and always looking for the easy way out, found...an easy way through this without the trouble.

Basically, you can avoid CC altogether. Just burn down main targets. The order of priority is (from top to bottom)

a) Earthbringers (they burn down fast but cause the most damage)
b) Berzerkers (take the longest to kill, cause relative damage, have an annoying charge move)
c) Warbringers (go down easy, don't do a hella damage, not very smart)

CC is only used as a safety net with this method - keep note of that

3RD MOB

- Hunters Mark main target (in this case, the earthbringer
- throw a heal on your pet, get those ticks going
- MD your pet (remember, tenacity)
- Send pet in, HOWEVER, Multi-shot the group BEFORE he makes it there. If you wait until he engages his target there is the risk that some mobs will come after you regardless.
- Keep heals up at all times on your pet
**If a mob breaks loose and comes after you - simply drop a trap at your feet and keep dps'sing
- keep heals up at all times on your pet
- Once earthbringer drops, focus your attention on the berzerker, rinse and repeat
**as mobs dwindle, your pets health will naturally drop slower, making your job easier

HEAD BACK UP TO 1ST MOB (To get Milhouse running)

- Same idea, however, make your pull by the entrance to the instance...should anything go wrong, RUN
- Hunters mark Milhouse
-Throw heal on pet
-throw MD on pet
-send pet in, Multi-shot BEFORE pet reaches Milhouse
-burn burn burn, until Milhouse yells his thang
- IN this case, you can actually zone out to spare both yours and your pets life..otherwise just feign death and let ur pet die

2ND MOB

- Don't pull from the north side, pull from the south. When you engage the mob, grp 1 (the ones you didn't kill), will head down to join the fight. Pulling from the south side will prevent mobs from aggroing you first (or at least will give you those extra seconds to burn milhouse
- MD pet, Heal pet, Send pet in, Multi-shot mob, focus DPS on Milhouse until he runs to boss position

Camouflage and make it past mobs to boss (note that you can easily squeeze between the rock elemental guys and the narrow corridor wall...worst case scenario, feign if they aggro

BOSS FIGHT

From that point on you should know your way through soloing the boss for your vitreous drake. Keep heals on pet at all times - be careful not to LOS your pet with the stalagmites, MD your pet when boss goes airborne. During air phase, watch to make sure a shadow doesn't form over your pet...if it does, call him back to you., otherwise he might get stuck inside stalagmite and won't be healable. Rinse n repeat...

Do that 850,000 times and you'll get your drake!

Comentário de verduran

143 runs so far on my DK and still nothing.
I've found out that the group of 3 flayers inbetween the first and second giants is not 100% avoidable if you don't have camo, I usually aggro them 1-2 times every 10 runs or so. If you did aggro them, I found it best to fall back a bit and pull them into left cave, there is a sweet spot where u can fight them without aggroing the second giant.

And in the case that you did aggro the giant, remember that you can avoid the earthquake by jumping up and avoid the 15sec 50% dmg taken debuff by killing the shard before it explodes.

Edit: 300 runs now and still no sign of it. 89% chance it should have dropped by now. Come on!
Edit 2: Ok, finally got it on my 319th run. That put me on the 10% odd of not getting it within my 318 runs... I hate RNG. (And I've got over 20 Skin of Stone during the runs)

After getting it for my DK I proceeded to try it with my tankadin with ilvl 361 in survival gear (stacking mastery). I can confirm it is still doable after the WoG nerf.

For the first group I have the earthshaper on focus and interrupt his transformation spells while I burn down the gnome (with GotAK, for course). After that I either burn layhand and finish the rest of the group or bubble up and run out of the instance. Fights without the gnome are fairly easy so I usually save up GotAK. I'll then sneak past the 2nd group and take down the 3rd group, hen head back and burn down the gnome in the 2nd group (I usually don't have much problem with this group and can take them out without LoH, though all you have to do is to burn down the gnome before you die anyway).

For boss fight I can just bandage up during air phase, usually I can get by bandaging only every other air phase and never have to burn LoH on it.

A single run takes about 20min and the boss fight alone takes around 8min. I'm running with SoInsight, BoM and resistance aura the whole time with the kings drum and the 90str food.

Comentário de 836724

Awesome feedback, and there were a few very useful tips as well. I JUST figured out the 5 yrd range fact with the Berzerkers (which is a relief - because that's the most annoying part of the instance). I also didn't know that you could tranq the enrages - but with decent Zandalar gear, keeping heals up usually takes care of that (I also spec into imp pet heals, and glyph for MD for no CD on MD's on ur pet - very handy when your trap is on CD and you have mobs chasing you - MD pet/disengage/multishot).

A little note regarding dropping a trap before the pull - I personally prefer reserving it for an emergency attack, because depending on the pull, there is a chance that the earthbringer can come after you as well. Charges don't cause significant damage, they hit you, cancel your attack, then head back to the pack. However, if a mob breaks away and starts attacking me (not including the whirlwind, because he isn't actually aggroed to you - in that case just avoid the WW and he'll eventually run back to the pack), THEN I drop the trap, because otherwise I know I'll have mobs chasing after me, which is ultimately what I want to avoid.

But much appreciated...your tips are very worthwhile!

Is there any hope a rogue could solo this? Is it possible to stealth directly to him, or you have to take care of Millhouse first?

Comentário de 864971

Can confirm this drops in normal runs - dropped today during a guild run.
No trick at all, just luck.

Comentário de 876820

After doing this myself i disagree with the tactics in this thread:

What not to do:

1) Don't go survival the cc is inappropriate because you need you pet to drop out some aoe treat that usually brakes the cc's.
2) Your pet is too weak in survival it will die to fast to zerg the trash down in time (for most ppl)

Pre Fight Prep:

1) Get yourself a turtle pet (if you can go get 'Terrorpene')
2) Go Beast Mastery and buff the crap out of your pet
3) Make sure you have taunt and thunderstomp ON

Trash:

1) Freezing trap at your feet
2) The adds have been given ridiculous aggro tables, makes sure you open with your pet and let him get a few attacks in and 1 thundershock before you attack. Make sure to use abilities such as 'Beastial Wrath' and your 4 second stun, Mend pet!
3) Zerg Millhouse, Feint
4) Zerg Earthshaper, Feint
5) Kill all of pack 1 and 2
6) Pack 3 you only need to kill Millhouse, Feight, Camo, Run to 2nd boss (in camo)

The Boss:

1) Make sure to keep 'Mend pet' up (the stone fragments will break LOS)

Comentário de NelleRavencrest

Its very simple as Marksmanship Hunter with Turtle:

THIS TACTIC ONLY REQUIRES YOU TO KILL ONE PACK WITH 4 MOBS = Very easy !

1) Go inside MD to pet, cast aimed shot on Millhouse and instanly cast multi shot right after. That way all the mobs go on your turtle. Just nuke Millhouse until he reach 50% = he starts yelling, then run out of the instance to reset the group (easiest way since you are right inside).

2) Go in again and use camouflage to get to the 3rd and last pack (Skip the one with Millhouse). Put down a trap right infront of you, cast MD on pet and once again aimed shot, but this time on the Stonecore Earthshaper, and emediately after use multishot to make the rest of the mobs go on pet. The Berserkers randomly charge, but since you put down a trap right infront of you. The berserkers will get trapped (sometimes there is 2 x Berserker, then you just have to eat some random charges). But with one of them trapped its very easy to deal with the remaining mobs.

3) When the pack is cleared go back towards the middle pack, it will have Millhouse in it. Once again put down a trap (not really needed) to help with the incomming dps preasure. MD to turtle and aimed shot on Millhouse and multishot on the rest. Now just nuke Millhouse down to 50%, when he starts yelling + run away, you emediately dismiss your Pet and FD. This will make the pack reset. Now just pop Camouflage and run to Slabhide (yes the first boss will come in when you get near the cave-hole in the wall)

4) Kill Slabhide, if you can't do this as MM with a bit of Mend Pet and fire dodgeing. Then don't even bother playing WoW and reroll Hello Kitty Online immediately !

Best of luck with the mount !

Solo'd as a feral tank (Shiraiyuki - Illidan US)

The Gear:
You will need 2 trinkets to do this effectively and of course some decent gear too. My Ilvl at the time was 368. I have a few FL drops but mainly rep gear/359 gear
Stay of Execution
Mirror of Broken Images

The trash:
I used my regular feral tanking gear and beasted the pulls up to the first boss. You can skip the first boss and stealth through all the rest of the trash. but be careful since right before the falling rocks gauntlet, it puts you in combat and pulls you out of stealth, make sure the patrolling giant isn't at the end of his patrol since he will agro.

The fight:
It is pretty straight forward, dont stand in lava... don't try to pull some extra dps as cat (its not worth the risk). i like to combine my cooldowns. I use barkskin with Mirror of Broken Images becuase i basically take 0 damage from the breath. remember to keep demo roar up so you take minimal physical damage. you will want to tank him at the very edge of the room and as soon as he starts to walk towards the middle to fly up, pop out and start healing yourself. you should have enough time to get 3x LB 1x rejuvie 1x regrowth and 1x healing touch. When you go low hp, pop frenzied regen the next time he comes down. try to pop enrage at the sametime so you won't rage starve yourself and waste your frenzied regen. appart from that, you just do what you would normally do.

Good Luck

Ok so heres a trick i learned, bring millhouse down in first mib, let him run to second...kill all first mob. then go to third mob, kill third mob, run back up to secong mob and bring millhouse down.he will run pas third mob since they are all dead. this kets u kill 2 of the mobs out of 3 and lets u bring down millhouse 2 times instead of 3 :) trust me it works

Soloed as a demonology warlock, here's how i did it

Kill the trash before the first boss, I just went all out Meta>Demon soul>Moonwell chalice>Felstorm>Immo aura>Shadowflame and nuked..

Skip the first boss, Kill the first giant, skip the rest of the mobs(You can walk to the right of the flayer group next to the 2 giants) thus you can skip all the mobs there if you wait for the giant to pass by after you've passed the flayer group.

Here's the bossfight:
1: Make yourself a SS and HS, you never know when you might need the extra hp.
2: Put a portal behind the rock wall that falls down when you start the fight, Good if you want to reset
3: Use curse of weakness+Health funnel to keep your void topped, Demonic empowerement if he get's too low
4: I popped cds right at the start and went full nuke, with demon soul my void got lots of threat from this.
5: Make sure you put your pet on passive when the airphase starts, my pet got stuck in a falling rock when the boss was at 20% hp so I had to reset, Also if your pet is not topped, Do that during the airphase.
7: Also use bandages/drain life during the airphases, Helped tremendously.
6: I kept dots up at boss at all times. Immolate,Curse of doom and corruption, Hand of gul'dan if I had enough time and void enough health to cast it
7: Boss dead, loot him and if you get the mount, gz to you my friend!

Shadowpriest Soloing Tips

I was able to solo this today 4 times as a Shadowpriest. My ilevel is about ~385, but it should be doable at lower. If not, once you get the 378s from 4.3's Dungeons it should be no problem. On Normal, of course.

The basic strategy is flash heal a lot. The fight takes me about 2.5 minutes now. Having a mod that shows his air phase and landing times helps plan your spells out better.

Start off immediately with a normal 3 dot mind blast rotation, after that is done he'll go up in the air. If you pre-shield yourself you will still probably be 100% health. Make sure to use Inner Fire.

After he comes down the first time, I immediately use my shadowfiend + fade and dps as much as I can at this point. Put shield up and when fade breaks do as much damage as you can before you start taking damage. At that point, I basically just flash healed myself non stop till he went up in the air again. Save your instant casts PW:S and Prayer of Mending for when you need to move out of the fire (which feels almost non stop) and just keep chain gunning the Flash Heals.

When he takes off again, put full dots on him again and dps as much as possible.

Basically repeat this until he's dead. You can usually use Shadowfiend + fade once more to buy some DPS time, and dispersion and archangel and you should have enough mana.

Takes me about 10-15 minutes to clear trash and Slabhide.

Good luck on the drop.

Quick tip for the trash, burn down millhouse first. Don't bother with Mind Control as I find its pretty ineffective here, though it can be alright but itll usually break early because of charge and being hit by Millhouse. Remember you can kite a lot, most of the mobs stop to cast stuff. Also zone out if you need.

am summing up EVERYTHING i know about this mount, and my experiance
It Drops from a boss named slabhide in Stonecore, Normal and Heroic. I have seen it drop on normal twice (first time, i rolled 10, top roll was 97, Second time, i rolled 68, top roll was 75), never heroic (probably cuz i farm normal stonecore)

If your in a group with 5 People, seeing the mount drop is 1%, so actually obtaining the mount is 0.2% So This is the Percentage of obtaining the mount
50 kills - 9.5% 1 in 10 people will get this mount after 50 kills
100 kills - 18.1% 1 in 5 people will get this mount after 100 kills
250 kills - 39.4% 2 in 5 people will get this mount after 250 kills
500 kills - 63.2% 3 in 5 people will get this mount after 500 kills
750 kills - 79.8% 4 in 5 people will get this mount after 750 kills
1250 kills - 91.8% 9 in 10 people will get this mount after 1250 kills
2000 kills - 98.2% 49 in 50 people will get this mount after 2000 kills
3450 kills - 99.9% 999 in 1000 People will get this mount after 3450 Kills
This means that after killing Slabhide after 3450, there is a 1 in 1000 chance you will not get this mount
If you want the percentage of it DROPPING , then divide the kills by 5, So after 10 Kills, there is a 9.5% of it droping

For the people who are confused saying "no, if you kill it 10000 times its only 1% of it dropping" Think about this, i flip a coin 10000 Times, after the 10000th time, is it a 50% chance that a Heads will be seen once, or almost Completely certain that you would see it at least once.

I Can solo this boss as a demon warlock, (by killing millhouse first trash, running out, back in and go to third trash, kill all them using infernal, howl of terror and fear, should kill all 3rd trash, Then going to second trash and nuking millhouse, die, rez and skip all mobs in second room, fighting slabhide is easy, just send voidwalker in, demon soul and searing pain until demon soul is done, then health funnel and kill (DO NOT NUKE, Try not to gain aggro, if you do, your dead), will take 9/10 minutes) All together it takes me 25 minutes

it takes too long is the problem, thats why i dont solo it, while if i do it in a group i can get to slabhide in 5 mins.

This mount is my second faviourite mount, many ppl will disagree with me, But i just Love it. (first favorite is Ashes Of Al'ar). For some ppl it might be better for them to solo, cuz iv lost this mount twice and i have felt REALLY gutted about it. and i cant buy the mount of them since when a guy from a different realm wins something, u cant trade of him. the worst part is both guys who won it didnt even have 280% Flying :(

So am saying, Solo it if u have more patients then me. getting a friend along makes it twice as fast, getting ppl from ur realm makes it better so when it does drop and u lose, you can buy it off him.
Good Luck To everyone with this mount!

Comentário de Aeyrlol

I actually found this fight incredibly easy as feral tank. I use mostly feral dps gear with only a couple pvp items that I gemed/ench/reforged for tank. 4510 agl, 7921 stam, 16.77 mast, 46315 armor, 33.12% dodge.150k hp (only buff I use is MotW) and my ilevel is about 365 (pvp gear ftw?).

The key is effective mitigation of damage and having the right talents/glyphs (I used a custom solo spec) http://www.wowhead.com/talent#0ZfMGbourzMckMcuo:0mVwzVMzm.

Fight takes about 6 1/2 minutes with a 15 min for full clear (I take my time for the sake of ease and not wiping). The trash is far harder than the boss, but using berserk on packs 1 and 3 then burning down millhouse in group 2 with a shadowmeld "vanish" makes the trash relatively easy. The best thing to do is try to get in as many mauls/mangles off as possible for the shield and to have the proper healing rotation during the air phase.

Air phase healing rotation: Regrowt -> Rejuv -> Lifebloom -> Lifebloom -> Lifebloom -> Lifebloom -> Rejuv/Regrowth (can throw in thorns if you have distance too) -> bear form. With the glyphs and talents this is extremely effective at healing. It is also helpful to outrange the first "fire breath" he does the moment he lands and to use barkskin/SI at alternating cooldowns 3 seconds later (he uses the breath almost approx every 12 seconds).

A weapon with mending increased my healing by about 10%, but I now use my agility weap (I am too lazy to put mending on my good wep... and too cheap) for the sake of speed. Another good idea (what I don't have the spell power weapon to do) is to have a macro to equip a SP wep when you use regrowth and a macro to put your phys dps weapon on when you go bear form to maximize healing. This is sometimes slow (pvpers will know what I am talking about) but it could potentially increase healing massively.

If done properly and with decent RNG you should never need to use frenzied regen. This should be able to be done by a feral with an ilevel as low a 355 (prob 350 with mending on the wep) though the trash would be utter hell.

All in all, extremely easy for feral. My second kill I decided to make a video of it and upload it to show to friends, link is below.

A Guide for Blood DK's to get this mount:

I'm an ilvl 379 Blood DK and I just received this mount on my second solo run. Here's how.

On the first trash pull; I always death gripped Millhouse to me, don't worry about the earthshapers transforming, they go down pretty smoothly. You'll want to use your Magic shell as much as possible during thes first few trash pulls to negate some of the damage from the transformed earthshaper and Millhouse himself. You can then kill the trash in one of two orders. Millhouse > Berserkers > Earthshapers > and whatever the Tauren are. -or-Berserkers > Earthshapers> Millhouse > Tauren guys. Berserkers will be your main form of damage income as they hurt really bad and often come in a pair with Millhouse. Pop defensive cooldowns and death strike your current target whenever you see them whirl because if you get two of them whirlwinding at the same time you can take a lot of damage, you can also move out of the whirlwind as well. As soon as you get to the final trash pull; kill it and continue towards Millhouse, stop right as the stone worm pops out.

DO NOT ENGAGE IT! There is no need to kill the first boss to proceed.

So simply run against the wall to the tunnel and continue. Sometimes in the dungeon there will be little groups of spider adds. To avoid them pull the first rock giant near the entrance of the tunnel. When he throws out the little stone add, heartstrike it without switching targets and it should just take one heartstrike for it to die, if not two. When the giant casts quake; jump at 85% into the cast to avoid taking extra damage. And as usual, death strike for your absorb shield. You don't need to pull the flayers unless you aggro them, see where the second stone giant is down the hall to Slabhide. If it's a distance towards the entry to Slabhides cave; simply hug the wall away from the 3 flayers and run towards it. Fight it at the entrance to the tunnel of Slabhides cave to avoid little spider adds.
(All in all if spider adds aggro they should go down pretty quickly with a DnD. And if you're not confident avoiding those three flayers you may choose to pull them back up the ramp in the small cave.)

Now onto the boss fight! Avoid the falling pillars as you run down the ramp. And then buff up, eat food, cast bone shield and horn of winter then start the fight by casting your outbreak and pulling him to the middle of the room. (This is to avoid him running off during the fight to fly up). As usual build up a bubble with death strike, always use Magic Shell whenever it's off cooldown as this will minimize his breath attack damage. When you see a patch of earth rumble under your feet you have a few seconds before that becomes a lava pool. When you see it you'll want to move him around in a circle while you are standing and attacking just within his hit box. This way, as you move, by the time you come back to the first patch it'll be long gone. Ever so often Slabhide will fly into the air, but will still be reachable by attacks but stalagmite will drop down all around you. Simply stand right underneath him when this phase comes up and DPS him while avoiding any nearby stalagmite patches. Also to utilize your runic power use Rune Strike; never use Death Coil as it does very weak damage compared to Rune Strike.

TL;DR:
-If low on health and your vampiric blood and/or rune tap are on cooldown; summon a minion and death pact it.
-Utilize Runic Power by doing Rune Strike.
-Death Strike to keep health up and build reduction bubble.
-Bone shield and Horn of Winter at all times.
-Defensive Cooldowns when low on health and waiting for Rune Tap/Vampiric Blood.
-Always use Magic Shell when it is available (except on Air Phases).
-Stand just outside his hit box to be at max range to turn him and avoid lava pools.
-Fight directly underneath him during Air Phase.

All in all it's a pretty easy fight. Much easier than Vortex Pinnacle. Good luck!

This seems to be completely impossible to solo as an Ele Shaman. I'm at 387 ilevel, and the first trash pack flattens me in only a few seconds. I just cannot keep myself alive.

Enh Shamans may have a bit of a chance, having slightly higher survivability, but as Ele, don't bother trying unless you like repair bills.

Comentário de verduran

Went ahead and tried it with my rogue, it is definitely doable with enough gear.
I was standard combat specced (7/31/3) with the 2 floating points in reinforced leather at 399 ilvl, with most consumable available (flask, scroll of fort, drum, healing pot). I also swapped out Tott glyph for evasion for added survivability.

Opposite to many other specs, the trashes are actually a lot easier for combat rogue, here is the rundown:
1. For the first trash pack, sap one of the berserkers, pop AR and burn Millhouse down and vanish afterward;
2. Sap and blind two of the melees in the third pack, it should be very easy to kill them off separately without burning CDs;
3. Head back to the second pack, wait for your vanish, sap the berserker and burn Millhouse down then vanish, keep in mind that the first pack of trash will also aggro so you'll need to kill Millhouse quickly;
4. The boss fight is actually quite hard, what I did was feint a bit after the first air phase, and keep feint on CD which lines up pretty well with boss's breath attack, pop AR and readiness after the first air phase, then evasion when readiness is down, and of course keep recup up throughout the fight. I can usually kill it right after the 2nd air phase with around 20% health left, dealing 27k dps and taking 3-3.5k dps from the boss out of 90s fights.

#Update: After taking 319 kills before I finally got it on my DK (see my previous comment), this time I got really lucky and got it after merely 23 kills. Hurray!

Went on normal as a feral tank. Killed the trash before the first boss, then skipped the boss himself, no need for stealth. However, I stealthed past the trash before Slabhide and then fought him. Used normal feral tank rotation, no need to heal during air phase, despite only 380 Item level with kitty gemming and enchants. If in need, you can just use Frenzied Regeneration. It took approximately 10 minutes a run, and so after 5 runs I had to wait because I had entered too many instances.
Repeated this, until on my 15th go the mount dropped. I was shocked as the drop chance is around 1%, and my guildies didn't believe me until they saw it! Good luck in getting this lovely mount!

Comentário de 185014

Got this guy after about 15 solo runs as a combat rogue. Took reinforced leather and fleet footed. Had Fort Scroll, Drums of Kings, Agi flask, Agi food.

Trash: Sap the earthshaper. Garrote Millhouse and back away from the shaper. Hit blade flurry and wail on Millhouse til he bails. Take out the orc(stun him if he bladestorms) then the taurens. You can disarm them all and the tauren enrage is shivvable. Skip the middle group and go to the third. Again sap the shaper and repeat the process. Head back to the middle group, sap shaper and punch Millhouse in his face til he again bails. Vanish. Trash done. Remember to pickpockets. =oD

Boss: Distracted him, opened with ambush and immediately popped killing spree, then his recuperate and feint as he'll hit his breath early on. Circled around to avoid the lava. DPS'd and popped slice and dice. Full 5 combo points and popped recuperate. Save evasion and combat readiness for his second ground phase. Used adrenaline rush while he was in the air and got slice and dice and recuperate back up. Once he lands immediately pop evasion and feint and keep circling/backing away between the stones to make him move. Keep it up and he'll eventually drop.

Found it easier not to prepot in the event that he crits off the bat. Usually around 30k. If you get sub 10% and you're a fair bit out from an air phase either use a health pot or vanish. If you wind up in a second air phase use a bandage while recuperate's running. A little practice and luck and you'll be killing him regularly.

Comentário de ItZMuRdA

I've been soloing Normal Stonecore as a Prot Warrior in T13 for the past few days rather successfully, and thought I'd share my tips/suggestions. If your gear is Dragon Soul capable, you probably won't have any trouble just killing Slabhide traditionally, but if you have lower gear levels or if you don't properly use cooldowns, it can get pretty hairy after fighting him for 3+ minutes.

While glyphing/speccing/using consumables specifically for this fight always helps, the best suggestion I have is to make use of Victory Rush (and perhaps even both glyphs for it if you deem necessary) by pulling other mobs into the encounter with you before you begin. My recommendation is to utilize the Rock Borers that run around with 5k HP in the previous room, as they all proc victory rush and can be killed on command. You could also try the rock elementals from the beginning, but be careful they don't pull extra undesirable mobs (like the giants) if you kite them that far. Lastly, even two or three of the Flayer mobs work fine, just be sure to use whatever extra mobs you bring in properly (i.e., if you have flayers, keep them stunned and move away from their Flay ability to avoid taking excess damage; if you have borers, try not to do any AoE since they have very low HP, and simply kill them as you need throughout the encounter).

While I've only done it as Prot, I imagine the encounter could just as easily be done by Arms/Fury warriors as well, especially when taking advantage of Victory Rush from adds. Best of luck!

I might get downrated but I still have to ask you Mages out there:

Any Mage that have a "how to solo" guide for this boss? I would be very thankful and happy if someone could do that. If it is possible.

Tactic? Spec? Pots / buffs? Anything Will do, thanks!

Been farming for this mount and ended up with some time on my hands so I decided to put together a little video guide for druids wanting to farm this mount.

Link;
http://youtu.be/0aDGgAmX_s4

Summary;
Sneak past the first 2 packs of mobs, kill the 3rd.
Pull the 2nd pack of mobs, when Millhouse gets close - charge him.
Pop defensive CD's + berserk and nuke him to 50%.
Use Stampeding Roar and bail from the instance.

This takes me about 3 min and this trick lets you skip all the trash up to Slabhide.
Then you just have to nuke him and repeat :> .

1 run takes me on average 7min. Too bad we can only do 5/hour. (If you know of an addon which lets you track your Instaneces/Hour let me know!)
The remaining 20min I sit hoping that Aeonaxx will stop by...

Hope it helps!

Comentário de 963879

I can confirm this mount still drops on normal mode, got it a few minutes ago after 258 tries so patience is the key in obtaining it!

On my SV specced hunter ilvl391 (mix of LFR and vp vendor gear) I just pulled the first group, nuked Millhouse to 50% then finished off the remaining mobs, stealthed past the second group, killed the third group then pulled the second on my pet, nuked Millhouse to 50%, dismissed pet and feigned. Generous usage of mend pet and misdirect is recommended. I also didn't use any cc since the mobs went down really fast.

The Slabhide fight is simple enough, keep mend pet and misdirect up, be careful your pet doesn't get stuck under a rock, loot and repeat.

Good luck all in getting your own drake!

Comentário de LorkRakt

Hey guys just wanted to make you all feel a bit jelly but also give some advice as well..

My character is an 85 combat rogue and it took me about a week to get it..According to rarity I have looted the mob (on normal) 4 times which is where I got my mount @ 1.00% of people getting it in 4. All I did was queue up for heroic, run it, queue up for normal, run it. I would leave shortly after slabhide was dead and move on. Simple as that..took about a week and I just got him ^.^ So keep it up!

Comentário de 943566

I run this all day long and I have about 375 kills and still nothing has dropped for me :/ , I run it on a blood DK, my strategy consists of when I start I target Milhouse first and get him to run away then I kill the Earthshapers first then Berserkers because their spinning slash does lots of damage (when they start to spin if you just run away that attack won't hurt you to much) then lastly I kill the Warbringers, if the Unbound Earth Ragers pull and attack I just throw down Death and Decay because their attacks cut down your armor then just repeat for mob he runs to. You can skip all of the mobs except the first 3 and the 2 Crystal Giants down the hall on the way to Slabhide, you should be able to skip the Flayers but if not just run away behind them when they start to do their flay attack and attack their back. I can usually complete each run in like 4 or maybe 5 runs an hour (5 is the most you can do per hour) Good luck to everyone else with the drop God knows it's gonna take FOREVER for it to drop for me lol.

Thanks for the strategy for feral druids.
I ran this today after ulduar 25 (got my ironbound :) ) and was able to successfully solo this dungeon.

So I killed the last boss, kept bear the whole fight and healed occasionally, looted and it seems I am lucky enough for it to drop the first run (obviously I've ran while leveling from 80+) but actually trying for the mount, first run :)

-Had to make a comment to say so and people saying stop saying how many times you got it in, need to chill.. It's comments not guides, we can comment about anything to do with it.

Comentário de 981252

Hey guys, I just got this mount today on (US) Whisperwind. I solo'd Slabhide on my Protection Paladin 25-30 times a few days ago and I got the mount today after my 3rd or 4th run.

I didn't do anything special; My tank gear is only ilvl 365 and I had no real issues clearing the trash. The only advice I can give you when dealing with the first 3 mobs is to nuke the Millhouse guy until he's at 50% health and then DPS the rest of the trash down. After you clear all 3 mobs, skip the snake boss and kill the first big rock guy. After he's dead, hug the walls and kill the other big rock guy and then run to Slabhide. Each run took me about 10-15 minutes.

Don't give up guys! :)

Comentário de 986414

Got this drop today while running as a Feral Druid in 11 runs. The run is really easy and takes about 10 minutes while doing it as a Bear. Just muscled through the first 3 groups of trash, stealthed past the first boss and trash to Slabhide. The key to killing the trash is to nuke Milhouse Manastrom until the Earthshaper transforms, take out the Earthshaper, finish Milhouse, and then rotate Lacerate stacks and Mangle procs amongst the remaining three mobs.

Slabhide is pretty straight forward. Just dodge the lava pools, use Pulverize with three stacked Lacerates before popping Beserk to really spike in damage for awhile. Really easy. Don't even need Frenzied Regeneration for the most part. Item level is 377. Make sure you have some decent trinkets. Something like Veil of Lies really helps.

Good luck to those going for this mount. Definatly worth it.

Comentário de burns91

The drake dropped for me after off and on solo'ing Stonecore as a BM hunter, though I probably only solo'd it maybe 10 times, I was extremely lucky. I made a video awhile back that might be helpful for other hunters looking to solo this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujwnvgeWGkc

Basically, set Millhouse in the 1st group to focus or keep him targetted so when everything gets pulled, you don't lose him. Go to the 3rd group, lay a frost trap to trigger them, run back up to the 1st group and DPS Millhouse down to under 50%. The 3rd group will pull the 2nd group, and the 2nd group pulls the 1st.

As long as all 3 groups are pulled, and Millhouse goes down to 50%, he will jump all the way forward to activate the 1st boss. At this point, just feign death or run out of the instance to reset the trash. You do not need to kill any trash (except I like to kill the little elemental rock guys in between groups).

Then you can camo through everything up to Slabhide, who is an easy kill with a tanking pet.

Good luck, everyone. This mount is a beauty!

I am surprised that they, for once, made regular rare drops look better than raid/world rare ones. The Vitreous Stone-Drake and Drake of the North Wind = two of the most stunning drakes I have ever seen. And dirt easy to farm too! I hope they'll make the MoP dungeon drops this farmable.

pretty much stayed above 30% of its health with no panic of dying..
then i screamed
so shocked!
Happy as can be!
IT DROPPED :D

so, solo this as a hunter with my 386 ilvl with my rare pet was a breeze ;)

(can work with any other turtles or tanking pets i guess :P )

time i done this was roughly 4 mins ~

Comentário de Harry4500

Just dropped for me on first try when I was doing it with another death knight.

I roll 45 and he roll 92

I lost the roll :(

Comentário de 926487

I can confirm that burns91's method works easily. As a BM hunter, camo your way down to the third group, set Millhouse as your focus. Launch an ice trap at the 3rd group from as far away as possible, then use Aspect of the Cheetah to skedaddle on up to the gnome and get him down to 50% HP. Quickly get to a safe place away from the trash, deterrence, dismiss pet, and feign death. Then use camouflage all along the path to Slabhide, and it's a breeze from there.

Just dropped for my DK Thallusen after about 20 runs. Very simple for a blood dk in dps gear to solo normal, just clear the first 3 packs skip the first boss then due to the night elf racial could just run through the next room and shadowmeld at the bottom of the gauntlet and was at slabhide again :) for those with a little less love for RNG good luck!

Comentário de 973372

Currently 48 kills on slabhide normal there has not been any drop for me... Yet

Running the instance in about 10 - 13 minutes each as a Retribution paladin.
For all paladins (Retribution as well as Protection) this is with DS Gear without a doubt doable.
The three trash packs before corborus are a pain in the ass at first and takes some getting used to.
For the spec i used I try to maximize the healing i do on myself, concidering slabhide hits around 10-25k )Depending on his critical strikes)
But if you manage kill him in under 2 minutes you are guaranteed to get a kill, if you are fast enough on lay on hands of course.

Comentário de Anathaema

Have been running Slabhide for more than 3 months now with my rogue friend (dual rogue setup) and so far no luck.
We're at around 200 kills each and still no sight of it.

The trash is easy (we're 400 and 403 ilvl legendary rogues) but the boss is a challenge because we feel like we're fighting the mighty dragon (story)

Hopefully, one day ... it will be mine :)

Comentário de 1011859

Haven't seen it drop for me yet, soloed about 10 times so far on my Death Knight.
Blood pres/spec.
Killed first 3 mobs, potion of lesser invisibility past first boss (Corbus or whatever) And easy downed slabhide in about 2 minutes.

solo farmed as blood dk on normal.
skipped first boss always
69 kills to get it.
easy quick runs 5/hr (cap)
if u can stealth by class or engineer belt u can skip some more trash just not the milhouse packs as they will all pull if u only try to kill the last pack.
u also need them dead to open the cave wall.

happy hunting.

102 solo kills and still no drop :(. I need some encouragement before I give up >_<. And does anyone know if the drop rate on normal is 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, or 0.9%? I keep reading different numbers.

Comentário de 1013125

Hello fellow Drake-Hunters,
I'm soloing this dungeon to get this damn mount!
At the moment i'm on run number 48.

I know several players on my realm (Emerald Dream) who got it while leveling, or just an random run.
Also on this comment page i see several people getting it pretty 'fast'.
Please reply if you GOT this mount and let me know how many runs you did for it!

Thank you :-)

Comentário de Skeven

Hello. I don't know if the drop chances are different between normal and heroic. But I do both anyway, if you're doing this heroic as a feral druid. There are a few things you should be aware of.

As you engage the battle, the physical damage dealt by the boss himself isn't very much, clearly depends on your gear myself I have Ilvl 404 (PvE.) But the main thing is his breath that he does. It hits around 30-35k and that's usually quite a lot since he does it often. The way to prevent from getting this breath at you is whenever he flies up in the air, he'll do that ability where spikes fall off the roof.

What you should do is, run away as far as possible and heal up your HP even if you don't heal a lot it will prevent you from dying since the fight will take some time. Stay far away, because when he comes down he'll do the breath and won't be able to reach you with it. And the second time he does the breath is when he shoots out spikes and you're suppose to hide behind one of those pillars/spike. Take a spike far away from the boss and put up a few heals and you'll avoid another breath which means that 60k damage has been avoided. You will still take damage from it at some points when you can't avoid it, and you have to keep moving at all time due to the lava coming from the ground.

I hope this helped those who are feral druids.

Soloed this on my SV hunter on regular mode. Took 66 kills to get the drake. Seemed to take forever. Gear ilvl 397

Comentário de 835202

Running this as a Feral tank, My gear ilvl is 383 (some LFR gear and some PVP gear). Not too hard to do and takes me about 12 minutes. Trying to get this mount for when MoP comes out, Since mounts will be account wide and it's too hard for me to solo on my main (mount collector) :P

Comentário de 683070

Protection Paladin - soloable

If I did everything right I could clear this in 7-9 minutes, but it usually takes me about 12.

I run with a hit/exp capped tank set around iLevel 397. I used Devotion Aura and Seal of Insight, and hardly have to worry about my health.

I pull the first 3 packs, focusing down Millhouse and then the Earthshaper. Skip the first boss, and then pull the two Crystal Giants. Slabhide doesn't do much damage and I just circle around him avoiding the lava pools until he's dead.

After a few runs I switched to my best tank gear and started pulling the next pack after killing the Earthshaper. By the 3rd pack I had to use a cooldown or two, but it wasn't very difficult. After the 3rd Earthshaper died all the melee mobs were easy to clean up, and they don't do much damage.

Comentário de 841567

...I must be the luckiest guy on Earth... I got it in level 83, while doing a normal run for the quests..
We downed Slabhide, saw the dragon in the loot list, and everybody went like "OMG OMG OMG"
I rolled, /prayed and waited for the winner to be announced. There it stood... "Wolph rolls (can't remember number, too excited) for Reins of the Vitreous Stone Drake.

I heard a sound, as I was playing without music, like a boss, and saw "Wolph recieves loot: Reins of the Vitreous Stone Drake. I wrote /cum, turning down every bid, (did it with some guildies) and did bad dps the rest of the dungeon because I was so happy. I am now using it every time I can, now I only need Raven Lord, so that I have both an awesome ground mount and an awesome flying one (using Black War Bear atm)

All in all, if you ask me, this is the most epic looking dragon in the game, and the feeling of flying in the night sky of Stormwind is just incredible. :) Totally worth farming, for you less lucky people.

Comentário de ericnhw

Less than 20runs i got the mount.. lucky i guess.... i was like mount mount mount when looting. oni for this time.. so farm it will drop...

Comentário de faerogue

With the coming of account wide mounts there's no reason not to farm this with your most solo-capable character. For my money that's a blood DK. I swapped to a blood spec specifically to try this farm, and after a few pulls getting the swing of things I was having an easier (if a bit slower) time than on my better geared hunter (the mount collector). Here's a couple of tips that work for me trying to get through there as quickly as possible:

1) Use your dps gear: I have an ilvl around 380 for both sets, and I don't notice much difference in the damage I take between sets, but I do around 3k more dps wearing my dps set. It speeds things up considerably. Even if you find you need the tanking gear for the big trash pulls, the hallway and Slabhide should be doable with a reasonably set up (ie not questing greens) dps set. I shaved a full minute off my Slabhide kill time just by putting on my dps gear.

2) Let the earthshapers evolve: It goes against everything we learned when running through at level, but after they evolve they die in the span of 2 death strikes, that'll be before, or very shortly after, they start their aoe. The unevolved form takes much longer to die, you take more damage, the group takes longer to kill, the overall run takes longer.

3) The 3 pack of flayers at the end of the hallway can be skipped. Just hug the far wall, it's a narrow window but you can make it.

Comentário de zknm7

I'm just going to outline my experiences with the Stonecore as far as soloing normal mode to get this mount goes. For a long time, I soloed Stonecore on one of my DK tanks in order to obtain the mount: Even a dk tank in all HoT tanking gear can easily solo this dungeon on normal, and I was soloing it with my dk when Firelands was the current raid and I had about a 374 ilvl as a tank. As has been stated earlier, do not engage Corborus, as you can just run along the wall and bypass him, saving yourself a lot of time and effort.

Moving on, I've also been able to solo this with my prot warrior as of late, mostly due to using Victory Rush on the Millhouse mobs and through judicious use of healing CD's and having a normal mode Souldrinker to further heal me... that being said, my attempts to solo this dungeon with my warrior in Fury spec wielding Heroic Gurthalak in the MH and Heroic Ataraxis in the OH have been for naught.... sometimes I can clear the trash but usually she ends up dying, and she always ends up dying on Slabhide, although I've gotten him down to about 100k specced like this before dying. However, when I respec her to Single Minded Fury and dual wield normal mode Souldrinkers, she is capable of soloing both the trash mobs and Slabhide, although judicious use of healing cooldowns and keeping a healing pot or two on me for Slabhide is a must. With about 1/2 Heroic dps gear, my fury warrior manages to down Slabhide in about 1min and 15 sec, which is quite a bit more rapid than either of my blood dk's. That being said, there are many attempts on Slabhide where I've had very little life left (and one more thing, my warrior is a Draenei, which means she has the racial self-heal) meaning you'll either have to get very lucky or have a healer if you want to down Slabhide with lesser gear and LFR Souldrinkers. Yes, the normal mode Souldrinkers are that good, outhealing every class and racial ability that a fury warrior has at her disposal to a large degree. With 2 heroic Souldrinkers, it would be even easier, although obviously those are not easily obtained by most. Anyway, best of luck: as stated previously, just about any blood dk with an ilvl of 378 or better can easily solo this, and a prot warrior in the hands of a capable tanker with decent gear can as well, the trash is easy, just be careful on Slabhide, and a fury warrior can with some heroic gear and normal Souldrinkers when specced into SMF, with careful use of CD's. Hope you all get your mount!

Comentário de 950815

Easy Blood solo. Just do the obvious, keep up Blood Shield, mash Death Strike, Rune Tap if need be. Corborus is skippable. On the run in bit before the boss, don't just sprint through, let some rocks drop or the boss doesn't spawn and you have to run back up. On trash, remember Earthshapers first, but let them change to Elementals, they die waaayyyy quicker. In the words of DBM "Good luck and have fun!"

Comentário de 864988

Just got this today at 3:57am pacific time. Soloed it 36 time in 2 days, I got the Raven Lord Mount on Friday after second run on my DK. On Tuesday I got Swift White Hawkstrider on my second run on my Warrior. I got to ride Aeonaxx 3 weeks ago on my Warlock sadly it was a failed attempt (what a rush).

Comentário de adrian12308

Hey there guys just wanted to help out anyone trying to farm this mount. No i will not waste your time by telling you when i got my mount or how long it did since is completely 100% random and unpredictable. As of patch 5.0.4 is very easy for any hunter to farm this without any problems at all. If you're 5/5 raid finder (or above) geared then you're more than geared for this. How am i going to help you? By giving you a quick tip that hopefully everyone appreciates =). First, your pet, since now you can make any pet any of the 3 talents you wish, ex: Ferocity (DPS) Tenacity (TANK) or Cunning (DPS) although you might still want a pet with defensive special abilities in which the turtle from Mount Hyjal is perfect for her Shell Shield ability.

Second, make this macro which will help you and save you alot of time.
(Name for macro: your choice)
#showtooltip Misdirection
/target (your pet's name
/cast Misdirection
/cleartarget (you can leave this one out i think but if not sure do it still.)
/target Slabhide
/use Mend Pet

In that there macro (yes that big, still fully works!) you will do 4 actions at once from just one action. And if you use Glyph of Misdirection which when used on your pet it resets then you will always have it up and avoid aggro on boss, heal the pet and still target Slabhide without ever switching targets.

Now for the fun part, with the macro made ALWAYS keep up DIRE BEAST if you specced into it. Launch traps, and bust open all CDs since with the macro your misdirect is always up. Oh quick tip: TRY AVOIDING LINE OF SIGHT YOUR PET when using the macro, in other words always find a clear path to your pet so its always healed.

""ONCE AGAIN THIS SMALL HELPING GUIDE IS MY OWN. NOT FOR POPULARITY OR ANYTHING JUST FOR A HELPING HAND TO THOSE WHO WANT THIS MOUNT"".

Hopefully some of you found this helpful and eventually get your mount =) Enjoy and best of luck to you all!

Comentário de Lornd

currently on 110 runs on my assassination rogue in the last week. taking about 4-5mins per run. ALL of the trash can be skipped as a rogue.

sap one and blind one in the first group (with millhouse) then stealth down and pull the 3rd grp up to the 1st grp - use sprint glyph and try to dodge the wee elementals as they will daze you. blow combat readiness and nuke millhouse. at 50% he will run straight to the bottom and start casting impending doom. then COS and vanish. takes about 20 seconds to do this rather than killing the 3 packs. - this method might work with a hunter as well. camo down pull the 3rd n rocket boosts to the first or something. nuke millhouse, disengage n feign death. even if you die and suceed in nuking millhouse so he runs away the Corpse run is significantly quicker than killing them still.

as for slabhide hes extremely easy. dbm has my fastest kill at 32 seconds in full hc DS gear. dnt even need to recup / evasion. leaching posion is more than enuf with combat readiness once he comes down from his air phase. shiv if ur hp looks dodgey and evasion if slabhide gets a few lucky crits off :)

if u have a rogue i strongly suggest this above method for speed purposes. was doing these at the same time as some of my other guildies and had completed 5 before they had done 2 on their respected classes. 5 per hour lockout is a pain tho. gonna try on my newly dinged 85 hunter and see how that works out while im waiting 35-40mins for me to be able to enter again :P

Comentário de skyline33

Got this mount on my 50th solo kill. Each run took about 10-15 minutes as a protection paladin.
I found this to be the fastest way:

1. Skip the first trash mob and the second.
2. Kill the 3rd mob.
3. Run back and pull 2nd mob ( 1st mob with millhouse will get pulled to you. You can hide behind the rock near the second trash mob for LoS pull on Millhouse and the earthshaper).
4. Run past the first boss into the cave.
5. Follow behind the patrolling giant, and run past him quickly while he is stopped (to the left).
6. Follow the second giant into the cave (kill him when he is close to the falling rocks walkway or run halfway to the slashers and he will walk by you).
7. Run down to slabhide

For slabhide it was a pretty simple fight, tried many new tactics and trying to beat my old record.
My fastest was 2 minutes and 52 seconds (also got the mount on this run No.50). usually it took me 3 minutes and 5-10 seconds, longest being 3 minutes 54 seconds.

Slabhide:
1. Pull into the middle of room (slabhide will fly up into the center, keeping them in the center = more dps)
2. Avoid the lava pools underneath, dont stand in shadows when he is in the area
3. Nuke
4. Loot

Good luck! hope to get SS approved! :)

After "giving," the Reins of Ashes of Al'lar to my fi, we decided to go for the Vitreous drake and try our luck.

Comentário de 991302

I got my Vitreous Stone Drake last night after 1104 runs, most were solo runs, though some i did group up with a friend or two. It was a nice surprise as some days i would run stonecore 50 times a day, but last night, I got it on my second run and final run for the night as I had work early the next morning. I will never return to stonecore again, it drove me crazy! I solo'd this from level 85-90 as a destruction warlock using my voidwalker to tank and now can confirm this still drops after 5.0.5. If you're soloing this dungeon just take your time and you should be fine, the trash gave me more problems then the actual bosses. Happy hunting!

Comentário de Brainboie

A simple guide on how to quickly solo this instance upwards until and including Slabhide:

When you enter the instance, you'll notice your regular pull of Millhouse and his companions. Normally you'd have to kill the entire pack of NPCs; however, to continue further into the instance, you only have to get Millhouse to ~30-40% of his hitpoints and he'll run to the next group of NPCs. This is especially helpful if you have some manner of dropping threat completely (Fade, Feign Death, etc.).

If you do have an aggro dropping ability, then don't bother killing the NPCs and immediately press on to the next group of NPCs where you'll once again get Millhouse to ~30-40% of his hitpoints where he'll press on to the third and final group of NPCs. By this point, you'll probably have a large amass of NPCs wailing on you. If you're a Hunter, it's helpful to use abilities like Disengage to quickly navigate to each of the NPC pulls and constantly move so that the NPCs don't get to hit you as often.

Now at the third pack of NPCs, you want to get Millhouse to 30-40% to send him to Corborus awaiting the short scene. If you have that aggro drop ability, you want to move away from the NPC spawn points and use it. Otherwise, kill off the rest of the NPCs that remain and press on forward.

Note, there are very few times where the instance may bug and either 1) Millhouse will not regenerate his hitpoints and will only take 1 swift hit and he'll move on to the next stage. This typically occurs when you're standing on him at the third pack of NPCs right before he engages, it's rare though. And, 2) Millhouse might run in the opposite direction. I've had this happen one time and it required that I killed all of the NPCs.

At Corborus, just run into the tunnel when he spawns and he won't pull you (at level 90). If you have any stealthing abilities such as Fade, Camouflage, Stealth or Prowl (I'm sure there are more that I'm too tired to type) you can skip the entire cave leading you to Slabhide. So, by whatever means, get to Slabhide and after about 30 seconds, he'll engage, and enjoy. You can practically kill Slabhide without having to move out of any of his mechanics on normal mode at level 90.

That should pretty much sum it up. I'm averaging about 3-minute runs on my Hunter, accompanying using my Nitro Boosts and Disengage to get from NPC pull to NPC pull faster as well as Camouflage through the entire cave between bosses. Despite the random once every 30 attempts hick-up, I haven't noticed much trouble at all.

TL;DR, kill Millhouse and skip the NPCs if you can drop aggro to speed the run up.

Comentário de 1047536

After 50 runs - i got it! Rogues, disregard the guides below, just stealth in past millhouse, go to third group - throw a knife to aggro, run back up (passing second group on way) meeting millhouse as he runs down to meet you.... Dps him till he runs. do this as fast as u can using ur buffs for defense and offense if needed. He will run straight to the end! Vanish as he runs, everyone goes back to normal and u can stealth walk right on to the end as the worm comes through wall! I had runs less than 5 mins (4:05 was my quickest) including death of Slabhide!

Comentário de 293593

A hunter makes an excellent class for this run, especially if you're farming this before level 90.

1) Excellent combination of DPS and tanking thanks to durable pets.
2) Feign Death's 30 second recharge allows you to drop fights on a regular basis, which is useful if you pull by accident.
3) Camouflage allows you to skip enemies you don't have to fight.
4) Aspect of the Cheetah allows you to run faster in the instance.
5) Readiness lets you instantly recharge your cool downs for Slabhide.

Comentário de Pyxxie

Anyone else find it a little funny when people ask "Does this still drop?". Every page about a mount prior to MoP has a few of those.

If it doesn't drop in the first fifty runs, that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. And those who are like "Oh, it has almost 1% chance of dropping? Then it will definitely drop after one hundred runs." No, no, NO! The loot roll is set as soon as you enter the instance, so says Blizzard. You can run it once and it will drop, or one thousand and still never see the mount. I made roughly seventy two Raven Lord runs before he dropped, but only six for my Blue Proto Drake. It is completely random.

Personally, I've run through it on my level 90 Survival Hunter 32 times exactly with no trouble, especially since patch 5.1 when they got rid of Aspect of the Fox. Nothing yet, but unless I manage to tag Aeonaxx first, I'll keep running this instance. I want a Stone Drake ;~;

Comentário de Bighappykitty

A Quick and Dirty Guide to farming this mount: (Please note, all runs done with a lvl 90 Combat Rogue, your mileage may vary)

Since this mount drops in normal mode off the second boss in the dungeon, it is one of the easiest "Dropped" mounts to get to. Mind you, I said get to, not get; in the same sense it's easy to drop a quarter in a slot machine, it's not easy to win the jackpot.

Once you get into the instance, your first concern is Millhouse Manastorm. Yes, he's back. And yes, he's just as annoying.
Millhouse will hide himself among 3 groups of trash that you have to clear in order to force Millhouse to summon the first boss and clear the tunnel to the second boss that drops the Drake.

The only thing you need to know about the trash mobs is Mr Stonecore Earthshaper is not your friend. He'll try to cast Force of Earth, which turns him into a big, angry, AOE spewing pain in the backside. CC him if you can, interrupt him if you must; just make sure he doesn't cast that spell. Otherwise it's nuke, loot, and move on.

Once you get through the three trash mobs, Millhouse will summon the first boss who will burst through a rock wall and clear the way to the second boss. At level 90 you can just hug the left hand wall and make it into the tunnel without aggroing the boss.

Make your way through the tunnel, clearing trash as you have to, until you get the the next open area. There's a short run where rocks will fall from the sky; just avoid the shadow spots on the ground and you'll be fine. Everytime I've done this part, Slabhide has despawned when he got to where he was supposed to be fought. Don't worry about it, just run all the way to the second transporter and wait for him there, he spawns in after a few seconds.

After that its just nuke and loot. Take the transporter back to the start of the dungeon, exit, reset, and try it again.

it dropped for me today on my 70th run on normal

i skipped the first boss everytime.

Comentário de Kyld

I got it on my 20th try, but.. I was helping my girlfriend to get that "love is in the air" flower from the last boss. So I gave it to her. I hope it will drop again soon!

Comentário de jordimues

0.9% droprate and i just got it...5th time i do this dungeon but i wasnt doing it for this mount

Comentário de 440874

Started farming today and got it around 20th run.
Dropped on normal mode, my first after too many dungeons CD.
Killed first 3 mobs and ignore the rest even first boss.
I was taking about 4-5 min from first mob to boss.
Happy hunting.

Comentário de Syngather

These were my stats..

Took 44 Attempts

16 Rose Quartz Band 36%
8 Quicksilver Blade 18%
11 Deep Delving Gloves 25%
9 Hematite Plate Gloves 20%

Stone Drake 2.27%

I did this during the "Love Is In the Air" so I was also getting about 25 Charms a run.
You can only do 5 runs in an hour.. so yes this took about 9 hours in the same dungeon :)

Good Luck!

Comentário de Silq89

On attempt 66. As a lvl 90 windwalker monk (on normal stonecore) you can pull all the trash mobs upto the first boss (the stone worm) then you can sneak past the first boss to the left and then i ur clever enough u can skip all the mobs upto Slabhide. Then after slabhide you can click the portal then go back to the beginning. Pretty easy actually. But No sign of the drake so far. Good Luck!

On attempt #166 after installing the addon that keeps track... this is getting very old

Comentário de 237003

does it have the same droprate in normal and HC? surprised that nobody asked this yet.

Comentário de 1089404

If you're farming this mount:
1. You can skip the first boss, Corborus (after he shows up which requires that you have killed all the packs that had Millhouse Manastorm with them), and save your time by doing this. I'm sure it won't affect in any way on the drop rate etc.
2. If you're a hunter, use Camouflage spell at the part where you have to run throught the Elemental Giants and Shale Spider packs.
3. Use the portal behind Slabhide after you've killed him -> you will be teleported near the entrance inside the instance.
4. Also, never choose a Heroic setting, because the mount drops from normal as well -> easier and faster to do.
5. Keep in mind; you can only do 10 dungeons per hour.

Hope this helps even if the information is already here. Good luck and happy farming!

Comentário de 1106357

I've been rather lucky this week. Yesterday I got this mount, and the day before I got Reins of the onyxian drake! Definitely a good week! Anyway, I soloed this dungeon (normal mode) on my level 90 warrior on the Arms spec. I've ran this dungeon about five times and got it on my fifth. Rather than running the dungeons with high hope and going "I hope it drops! I hope it drops!" I just casually go about running it, that way if it DOESN'T drop it's not a huge disappointment, and it's more like you just run a dungeon for fun..because you're freaking awesome like that. Plus, when it DOES drop you get to stare at it like "am I seeing things?", and then you get to proceed by running in circles screaming in joy. Or you can sit there just staring...whichever you prefer. But yeah, ran the dungeon five times without expecting anything and got a nice surprise. It's a very beautiful mount :3

Comentário de kaelsiemion

run #200, no mount. Do I hold the record?

Comentário de Razuld

This mount can also be purchased from the Black Market Auction House. Starting bid is 20k.

Comentário de Neverdown

If you're playing a class that can stealth or reset agro in some other way, you should just kill Millhouse from the first trash pack --> move to second pack and kill Millhouse --> run to third etc etc. you just keep running then and just before the two giants you have to pass you go in stealth. This way you only have to kill the boss and Millhouse and you're basically running the whole instance.

Comentário de Dedmeett

i hate to post like one of those people I hate.
But....
I got this to drop 2nd run in a pug last year when I was a noob 85. Didn't even know it existed. I have yet to find a cooler looking mount for my Goblin DK.

My random mount drops-
Raven Lord dropped on one solo run as 85 , just clearing the dungeon.Again didn't even know it existed at the time,
I learned about the Swift White Riding Ostrich and that became an obsession for a few weeks, 55 runs later, it happens, and I'm a happy mount collector.
I heard about the frosty blue proto drake and naively started to farm that one. Low and behold, 21 runs later,,,It;s MINE!

SO now I have two thorns in my side- that being the drake of the winds of the north and alturis deathcharter
Time to focus my attack.
I hope this post looks this good when I am sober,

Comentário de kaelsiemion

Just finished run #230, which means I've had a 90% chance to see it. Sad

Comentário de Faevel13

For those that can't afford the drake when it is up on the BMAH , this instance is a joke on normal. I haven't tried heroic yet, but the drake drop chances don't really change on Normal or Heroic, kind of like with the mounts from Eye of Eternity.

As a BM Hunter with a 489 iLvL, I just stood back and let my worm take all the damage while I pew pew'ed things. The mobs don't really hurt if they hit you , but don't do what I did and leave Growl off. Thankfully I turned it back on in time for the first boss, but I didn't take much damage at all.

This is the first of many runs for me, as the mount obviously didn't drop on the first run . Slabhide will continue to die until he graces me with a beautiful Stone Drake.

Comentário de Akitnaya

Got this mount today after farming for almost 2 months, 5x an hr on normal. (Not religiously though.) I am a 501 lvl 90, BM hunter. For the 1st, 2nd & 3rd round of trash mobs around Millhouse Manastorm before the 1st boss, Corborus, I used my Explosive Trap & Snake Trap for each 3 encounters. I saw that I took a LOT less damage by using those 2 traps along w/having growl on, on my pet. After burning the 1st boss, I Camouflaged my way through the cave w/the Stonecore Flayer's & Crystalspawn Giants all the way to Slabhide. Burned him pretty fast too, then ran to the teleporter & rinsed & repeated till today when the mount finally dropped.

If u farm everyday, abt say 4x-6x a day each hr (5x an hr), the mount should drop sooner or later....like it did for me. Good luck guys n hope this helps! =]

If you farm this, Poção do Geodomo is your best friend :)

Comentário de 1071190

As a 519 (which is irrelevant I suppose) survival hunter this is how I make the runs for this mount speedy.

Initially I will dismiss my pet before shooting Milhouse the first time, and launch a trap directly behind him and the first pack, which is really just to limit the chance of being dazed. After I begin shooting him, I'll turn and disengage (with posthaste) towards the second group to meet him there. Then I'll shoot him at the second and third groups, and (if it's up because I've been dazed) disengage towards where the first boss busts through.

Once I get there, I feign and call my pet. Kill the first boss. Then I pop on Aspect of the Cheetah and camouflage and run through the tunnel between the first and second boss. Once I get through there, I'll break camouflage by shooting one of the small shale spiders (one of the critters) where the rocks begin to fall just to disengage back towards where the boss lands. Kill the boss.

Rinse and repeat.

Running this place is incredible easy as it is, I just do this so I don't have to waste any more time in there than necessary by killing pointless trash, and I figured I'd post it for hunters looking to speed up their run.

Comentário de Bredesen88

Finaly after 800++ runs it dropped.. yay..

Comentário de 1121147

After a long, but successful farm of archaeology, I chose this as my next farm, and planned to run norms on my Blood DK a few times a day for a long while. Third run and the mount drops...Now I am positive my RNG for Tol'vir is going to be absolutely crap ;).

Anyway, as any tank, probably most DPS too, you can just charge through the mobs killing Millhouse only as you go, until the last pack, AOE them all down. Skip the first boss by hugging the wall, run through the giants, don't stop to kill them, run straight to Slabhide and kill him with the adds present, a good DPS can probably easily kill the boss before the adds come, and just take the portal and reset and not even bother killing them.

As a 495 ilvl Blood DK 3 runs took me around 10min. 10 minutes to get a rare mount drop, never have I been that lucky and wish I could have used that luck elsewhere. A very easy farm to perform, but others have had horrible RNG so don't get your hopes up to get it in a single sitting.

Comentário de 1083584

I know it seems like it will never drop to some, But I am here to say yes it does.. it took me 85 runs on normal until I got it he is the picture with time, and date stamped just to show it does still drop

The SavedInstances addon tracks the 5-instance-per-hour limit, making it easier to plan your farming runs, and avoid locking yourself out of an upcoming event (eg raid night).

Comentário de 1082900

Just got this a few minutes ago. I usually sit out and camp for Aeonaxx while waiting on dungeon/bg queues and was sitting out there on my 86 dk and thought, what the heck i'll give it a go. First kill and the mount popped up, I had to do a double take cuz I thought I was seeing things.

Granted, it's not my very first attempt at farming it, but my first try since MoP and probably only did about 10-15 attempts in Cata so I'd say I'm pretty lucky! (on this occasion anyway)

Comentário de Harben

Dropped first run through this dungeon on my 83 Mage. Didn't do anything special, just ran through and cleared only what we had to. Rolled against 4 other people, won it with an 82 need roll.

Was a good day.

Comentário de LatinLegend

This was my very first mount drop period! I've have been playing off & on since 2006 but I was never really to involved with any end game content. So I never really had to many opportunities at fighting mobs that drop mounts. I just happened to be on when my GM asked if I wanted to run through BC. To get the achievement & hopefully some item drops to help things go more smoothly at level 80+. I was NOT expecting the mount to drop & I had no idea the mob even dropped one. I was just at the right place at the right time with the right guild. Since they all knew it dropped but were like " Hey, you take it ". I was like OH *$@(! :) Made my day for sure!

Just got it on first run. :D

Comentário de 1122411

So, today on my main, I went to this dungeon psyched that it was part of Deepholme. On my first run, I got this mount. I honestly didn't think things like this happened. What a wonderful day I am now having.

Comentário de Derriden

78 Altairus kills....woot! Rédeas do Draco do Vento Norte

107 Slabhide kills and counting.....no sighting.

I took my lesser geared Guardian Druid in for Altairus. Just stealth past all the trash and kill the first two bosses. Repeat.

I don't appear to be able to stealth past the first three trash groups in Stonecore (the groups include Millhouse Manavento) as they all seem to aggro when you hit the last group. You can't get through the wall without attacking Millhouse and getting him squashed by Corborus. So I take my main in, a 520 warlock, and just burn through it all. If you're main is a stealth class, nice, you can stealth past everything between Corborus and Slabhide. If not don't worry about leveling/gearing one up, just burn through on your main, it's faster. You can get 5 runs in pretty quick and spend the rest of your hour camping something like Protodraco Perdido no Tempo.

Note: You don't have to fight Corborus (boss 1).

Note 2: If it won't waste your time, there are loads of critters lining the walls of this place. I can drop a Rain of Fire on them without stopping. Help your guild get Grupo de extermínio... de bichinhos and Os bichinhos mataram minha família!

EDIT: 132 Slabhide kills and counting....no sighting. I guess my "post on wowhead and it'll drop" theory was wrong :(

EDIT: Captains Log: 150 Slabhide kills..woot! Rédeas do Draco de Pedra Vítreo Thought I was going to go crazy on this one. Wait did I just say "Captains Log"? Insanity confirmed.

Comentário de 1089909

I hate this mount more than anything in the world. Well that and math.
This is the only mount that absolutely refuses to drop for me.
This mount it why I stopped farming rare mounts. The exception being this one, which I now need to get or all the time I spent cursing at Slabhide's corpse is wasted.

Baron Rivendare's Deathcharger: 3 runs.
Azure Drake: 8 runs.
Blue-Proto Drake: 12 runs.
Raven Lord: 17 runs.
Onyxian Drake: 26 runs.
Time-Lost Proto Drake: 16 hours camping.
Fiery Warhorse: 46 runs.
White Polar-Bear: 58 dailies.
Swift White Hawkstrider: 72 runs.
Ashes of Al'ar: 108 runs.
Vitreous Stone Drake: 312 Slabhide kills... and nothing.

I hate this mount - and math so much. Oh, so much.

Comentário de MercurioGraven

This having not been the first mount I've farmed in repeating dungeon runs (killing a dragon hundreds of times isn't exactly new to me), I've grown accustomed to the grind like it's second nature. However, sometimes, it becomes so stale that you have to invent your own fun.

By now (MoP), Couro-pétreo is easily soloable, so this isn't a guide on how to kill him, unless you want me to say, "Zone in, kill trash, kill boss, rinse, repeat another hundred times." No, these are merely suggestions for dealing with the boredom you're going to inevitably face farming not only this mount, but several others, if you're going for dungeon mount farms (especially the ones you can only farm on heroic... ugh.)

My first suggestion to any fellow mount farmer is to not make the runs about your Rédeas do Draco de Pedra Vítreo. If you have an enchanter main or alt, and/or a tailor, the trash packs are actually quite profitable. I've killed Slabhide maybe a hundred times and I've gotten loads of green BoE gear. I've also accumulated lots of Embersilk Cloth. I've made my fresh alt four embersilk bags by about thirty to forty runs with all of those drops.

In Litocerne in particular, with each trash pack I murder mercilessly, I've found that I've been trying as hard as I can to see if I can actually kill Millhouse Manavento, or get him to one hit point before he runs away (I never managed to do it successfully). This isn't exactly a realistic goal, or even productive, it's just an extra form of entertainment. Plus, I hate gnomes, even though I thought, "You're going to be sorry" was a fair warning of how long it was going to take me to get anything other than blue gear from Slabhide.

Give yourself a time trial. I've only done this a few times, but I've found "trying to beat your own record" can be distracting (My time is down to four minutes now, including trash kills!), and keeps you from feeling dismayed every time you loot and see another Rose Quartz Band (though very few things can brighten that shadow that encases your heart after you've seen that bastard keel over for the hundredth time). If you finish in the allotted time, reward yourself. A cookie is always good. Or finding someone to kill. I use the addon OQueue (mainly for finding RBG groups), and when you finish any instance, it tells you how long it took you, how much gold you made during the run, and how much gold an hour you'd averagely make. OQueue is great for many things... but I'm not here to talk about it :P
OQueue is now obsolete and no longer active.

Listen to music with a quick, excitable tempo. I listen to a lot of rave and trance music. Somehow, it makes me go faster, and the faster the better.

Use a Potion of Treasure Finding. Treasure chests will drop from trash mobs in dungeons. Extra stuff to sell.

If you've never heard of the addon Rarity, I'd suggest it. It tracks how many kills you've done, and it'll tell you your probability of seeing the item drop. By the time mine dropped, it reached 98% probability. It will also alert you via achievement-style sound and window when it appears.

After your five-run lockout, level that alt that you've been ignoring for months until it's time to go back in. Or disenchant all of that crap you looted and make some good gold. Depending on your server, you could be a few hundred gold richer before you restart the five kills again. And maybe you got a level or two on that new character.

Other things you can do during lockout:
-Moisten your fence wood
-Offer your husband a drink
-Dig a hole to bury a box
-Reposition your doorknob
-Stare
-Stare

So, if you're the impatient type (and I know a lot of you are), try as hard as you can not to think about that gorgeous, shiny, techno-electric-blue-colored stone drake that refuses to fall into your hands after all of the carpal tunnel you may have suffered. It could take you one try, it could take you twenty, but it might take you hundreds. Think instead of how much richer you could get, or improving your speed! Obviously with this advise, you can't skip the trash packs. If you want to make the most out of your runs through, you have to kill them all. They will even drop BoE blue gear from time-to-time. I highly suggest not skipping them.

Or cry. That sometimes works for me, too.

Note: I'm past ~~300~~ 400 kills without a mount drop. If you're in this category of unlucky people, take solace that you aren't alone.
Note 2: It finally dropped after 447 kills . So, keep at it. It WILL drop eventually. I've made thousands of gold just repeatedly running the dungeon, so if you get too impatient, you can at least earn the gold to try to buy it on the BMAH.

Comentário de 1134917

After seeing this mount on other players i decided that i wanted one for myself. After 30 dungeonruns i decided to read up on wowhead and got pretty demotivated when reading 100, 300 and even 500 dungeon runs.. But! Last night, my fellow mount-hunters, the RNG decided to please me and make my weekend.. It let me loot the mount after around 140 slabhide-kills and i could go back to my normal life (kinda).. I was so happy and it was really worth it guys.. She is a pretty! Hang in there :)

Comentário de 1134888

Wow, to cap off an amazing week.

First, ran for the North Wind drake 2 times, got it.

After around 250 runs in the last 2 years at Stratholme, Deathcharger drops!

And after 100+ slabhide kills, the mount dropped.

All this week!

Good luck to everyone, you'll get any mount you want eventually for sure.

Comentário de 439085

got him after 20 slabhide kills! 4 a day for 5 days whoot!.

Comentário de 1136445

I've ran this about 38 times no luck.

I do have some great quick tips though for rogues to make time a bit more efficient and quicker runs.

Take out the first 2 mobs with Manastorm.
On the third mob aim down Millhouse Manastorm. When he runs just simply vanish.
Also to run through the dungeon quicker, spec into Burst of Speed and Shadow Focus. Then you will be able to spam Burst of Speed while stealthed.
Then just stealth past first boss and all the mobs after him, take out slabhide, and use teleporter to get back to entrance quicker.

A tip for everyone - Keep your sanity! Taking breaks help a bunch.

Best of luck to all whos farming!

This dropped for me about half an hour ago, after only five runs (I think). Caught me completely by surprise, it did. Now if only Aeonaxx would happen by...

Comentário de 1133295

OK so you guys might hate me. But I had just finished all my mount runs with no luck (except in EoE on my lock where i got blue drake, just 2 tries after getting the azure on my first try) I was thinking of the other mount runs i could do when I saw someone flying this one. So i went and soloed it for the mount for the first time. Wasnt expecting anything at all just normal loot items. But BAM mount drops. I started freaking out. (Dont think I'm so lucky, I lost the roll on the Flametalon mount in firelands just a day ago ;)

Comentário de 1141122

I Finally got lucky after 5 years on this game. I decided 2 days ago to begin farming more flying mounts. First I wanted the quick sure thing, which is the Black Drake in OS 3D. So, what I considered the next reasonable farming spot was Stone Core for Reins of the Vitreous Stone Drake. Only takes 5 min. My first attempt is on Heroic then the rest on regular of course. This dropped for me on my first Heroic run day 3 run # 11. UPDATE now 5 days later, had to Google how to get to service entrance in Stratholme. I wanted to try for the Death chargers reins. I give you my word of honor here. It dropped for me tonight on my very firs run. Crazy. Crazy. Crazy. Still can't get that Blue proto Drake though.

Comentário de Silvansaria

47 kills into the farming and nothing - but as I look at the numbers - I potentially could have a long, long way to go...

I usually run in - avoid the first 2 groups and aggro the 3rd. Lay down a fire and a snake trap and some massive aoe attacks with my pet and stampede - and kill everything at once. Run past the first boss, stealth past the rest, slaughter Slabhide and run out. Reset. Repeat 4-5 times before lockout.

It'll eventually drop... I'll update this with the exact amount of runs when I get it.

Comentário de superforyou

It dropped on the 114th kill and I'm so happy. I was going to give up but I didn't and it dropped! Never give up! You'll get it sooner or later.

Comentário de 934625

When you make these runs, have faith that it will EVENTUALLY drop. Don't get your hopes up thinking it will drop the first time, but don't get discouraged when you've made 100+ runs with no drop. Don't just farm all day every day. 3-5 runs a day and you'll retain your sanity and eventually score a cool mount. And if you find this mount to dull to farm, you could always go spend all day, every day for a week farming dailies and get the Nether Drakes :P

Comentário de 1142750

226 runs and it dropped. Sometimes I questioned if it even dropped at all... but after this mount I got 8 other rare mounts in 3 weeks. Ridiculous right? Ntm my onyxian drake and raven lord back to back drops. Raven lord took just 3 trys as ony drake took over 1200. Yes 1200 effin trys. 5 years I almost cried in joy. Ashes and fiery are at the same kill count and STILL no drop

Comentário de Silvansaria

The luck you guys must have getting this on normal at like 30 runs or less... I'm on 73 normal with nothing - but I have fun doing the run...

At 90 with 522+ ilvl gear this is super easy. I run in - avoid the first two groups - aggro the third, kill everything, stealth the rest of the way to Slabhide and slaughter.

No mount yet but I get to skin the 2 flayers, gather up some random Embersilk, Savage Leather, and Savage Leather scraps along with a ton of sellable gear and items. I do this everytime (g/t on Stampede depending on the cool down) I go through the instance.

Remember to take the portal for the quick exit, reset and do it all again...

After almost 500 trys for Rivendare's deathcharger, i wanted to start farming this mount, got it after 4 run. Love RNG.

Comentário de 1144922

First time in the dungeon it dropped and I won the roll.

Comentário de Tellymon

25ish runs. 0.8%x25=100%. IMO.

Comentário de Dayvan

So i've been farming Slabhide since it was soloable by a hunter at level 85 during Cataclysm. Ever since i've been farming it on and off. I've lost track of the amount of times i've killed it, but i'm pretty sure it's somewhere around 300 by now. I've never seen it drop.

Until today! One catch tho.. I was doing Stonecore on my level 82 Paladin in a group. Needless to say, I rolled a 10 and lost..

Yes, today has not been a good day my friends.

Comentário de Agonizedtank

Got it on my first run while leveling XD lvl84
my friends almost killed me

Comentário de 1052819

Are people trolling when they say it drops on normal difficulty? At 350 counted kills, many more before that, without seeing it drop. Rng genuinely hates me

Comentário de MrDarkhelm

Just got it on my second run on normal. Don't even bother with heroic; it's sooo much faster to run a bunch of times through normal.

Comentário de Werlwind

Dat feeling of seeing it drop for the first time and also winning it \o/

Comentário de jessicaTFC

Reins of the Vitreous Stone Drake, quickly becoming the bane of my existence.

I have been running the Stonecore every day, as many times as my sanity can handle, for weeks now. I have roughly 130+ runs and no drop. At least once a day I question whether the reins actually drop on Normal mode (but it seems as if they really do). As much as I want to give up on it, I can't let myself. All the comments on this are what's keeping me going and I will not stop until I find it. I envy all of you who have seen the drop on your first, second, third run. I wish I could be that lucky. I swear there is a "cool mount curse" on me. And while I have been able to successfully farm Phosphorescent Stone Drake, Time-Lost Proto-Drake, Blue Proto-Drake, Thundering Onyx Cloud Serpent, Grey Riding Camel (/rofl), and other similar mounts, this drake still escapes me ever single run, and all of my endeavors seem to be in vain. Hopefully it'll drop for me soon, as it has the rest of you, and I can move on the Invincible. /sigh.

Also, I have wondered if there is a higher chance of a drop on Heroic... haven't heard anyone give me a reason to actually believe this so I figured I'd throw it out there. Thoughts?

Thx & GL

Finally dropped for me today on normal, 90 BM Hunter. Clear the first three mobs with Manastorm, go camo with cheetah aspect, skip first boss, run to Slabhide. Takes less than five minutes per run. Did that ten times a day for the last week and a half, so around 100 runs. Happy hunting!

Comentário de 1183873

ridiculously easy to solo now (destro lock, ilvl 544). I have no idea how many times i've killed him.. never seen him drop in cata, and though I have no idea how many times i've actually killed him by now it must be literally hundreds of times. maybe someday the RNG gods will have mercy on my soul.

300 trys and still no mount...
luckly it was on black market yesterady on my serverand got it for 63k.
I thin is better to farm gold and wait for it in black market than to try useless runs.

Comentário de NiceKittyCat

Just got it on run 25 two days after getting the drake from Vortex Pinnacle on run 35. I think I'm gonna hit the casino.

Comentário de TheExile

A great way to farm this mount is by using a rogue. Easily solo-able, and you can skip all trash; including the mobs with Milhouse Manastorm. When you enter the instance, run up and attack Milhouse until he runs to the next mob. Do not attack any of the mobs, ignore all trash. Sprint/Burst your way to the next mob, and continue to kill Milhouse again. Finally, chase him down to the last mob, and again, kill him. Since you have pulled all the previous mobs, he will not run back to them. Simply vanish/cloak (to drop the DoTs) and run away, even after the mobs reset, he's already started the animation for the first boss to appear. Then just Sprint/Burst your way to Slabhide, and down him. Do this 5x an hour on a rogue, you should get him in a couple days.

Average instance time for me is around 2:03. Cut a whole minute off compared to killing the three mobs, and I just let me rogue AFK watching for Aeonaxx during the downtime between hours.

Comentário de 1197475

so like Monday night and Tuesday morning i was doing a rdg,
on my warlock trying to get them last 5 lvl,ugh...
ok so i have never seen mounts drop in the 2 years I've been playing wow(on & off)...
so seeing it drop Monday night i almost pissed myself with excitement,
then some dude in the group needed it and left,everyone else was like huh...wtf just happen...
so after we finished the run i logged for the night,
i come back in the morning,hit the same instance,
there's this shammy in the group goin on about how the "elements" were tellin him that the mount was gonna drop,
and sure enough it did,
like i was blowing away,
when i asked how did he know it would drop,all he would say is the elements told him......
is there something about shammy toons or was this guy pullin my leg?
or is there a way to tell if the mount might drop?

Comentário de brightyuk

A useful tip for Ret Paladins farming for this mount; even on normal, the mobs you will have to kill are of a high enough level to proc Glifo Calcinado which means you will only need to cast Inquisition the once and, with the frequency of the mobs, this will stay up for your five runs.

Also, if like me, you are camping a Paladin outside the instance (on the handy 'Inn' platform) exclusively for mount farming, this one cast will last you until it drops!

Comentário de 1197309

Dropped after 78 kills patch 5.4. Farming this is also a nice way of making golds with embersilk cloth and by disenchanting greens.

Comentário de 1206538

This mount dropped recently after 85 kills on Normal difficulty, spread out over three weeks. (Level 90 DK Frost, each run averaged around 5-7 minutes for me)

Before this I tried to farm Altarius, sometimes entire days as much as the game would allow. I remember getting very annoyed and demotivated back then.

I never was able to get the Drake of the Northern Winds but after a break I tried out a different approach and started doing a few runs for Slabhide each day. After around three weeks the mount dropped, if you try to farm too much it really might impact your enjoyment of the game like it did with me.

I tried to see farming Slabhide as another daily quest. While I admit the feeling to get this mount still got to me at times, trying to farm a mount like this felt much more fun and rewarding. The stuff that drops within the Stonecore gave some nice gold in the end as well.

Beautiful mount. Detailed, crisp and I just love the little glows on it. Just see farming this mount as a daily quest and/or as a bonus and it will drop when you least expect it. If you're farming for this I really hope it will drop for you very soon.

Comentário de 1207416

I've tried to farm this for near enough about 100 times in 2 days and no mount at all. Really does suck because I've got the Magma DK set which is the same colour as this mount. God I wish they would make the drop rate higher.

Comentário de 1205391

A friend of mine was running me through the Stonecore today, I actually was not aware of the mount even being here. I was ran through on heroic, I believe. And the mount dropped for me. Not farming it whatsoever, I think it was luck. Especially because I got the Onyxia mount just a few days before this. (Note: I am now known to have a horseshoe up my ass.)

Comentário de Starvling101

January 04, 2014.
Just did my 15th run on Stonecore and for once found myself in complete shock to have this drop. This was a very lucky, early drop and I hope anyone else farming this also gets my luck. It is a beautiful mount especially on my xmorged frost mage! :)

So yeah, 15 runs, all on my BM hunter using my devilsaur as a tank. No health issues or anything, very easy AoE.

Comentário de 1209745

got it on my seventh try..... it is possible lol

Comentário de ckzea52

I have been farming this on NORMAL! And just by luck i got this on my 3rd attempt, If you wanna farm this, you will want to skip the 1st boss, and if your a druid it makes it that much easier to get past all the other NPC's and just kill kill kill! its basic but time consuming, fingers crossed that you will get within 1st 10 attempts :) good luck ppl <3

I suppose I am a lucky individual, as it got a very low drop rate. I did it with a friend of mine in NORMAL.

Comentário de Caghan

This dropped for me after the 3rd run. I downloaded rarity to keep a track of how many times i will kill him and was shocked that after 2 drops i got it. My heart was pounding!. Good luck to all. i will make a video on how fast my run was.

This info is Relevant for MoP Update.

Comentário de rentard

I've been farming this guy for a couple of months. Over that time, I was at 236 runs until tonight. I was actually leveling an alt alchemist and thought, why don't I try using potion of treasure finding? I had been farming skyshards using potion of luck and figured why not since, potion of treasure finding is the cataclysm version. 239 runs and I am now the proud owner of vitreous stone drake. I honestly don't know if the RNG gods finally stopped their cruelty or if the potion helped but I was willing to try anything as I was sick of the run. Hopefully, someone can confirm whether the potion works or not. I was actually thinking I had maybe been doing something wrong before this evening. Good luck on the hunt everybody and hopefully this little bit of info helps somebody else get their sought after mount.

Comentário de Oriflamme

This Is on the BMAH right now with between 2-12 hours left, the bidding is up to 66,700 gold. I wont be surprised if it goes well over 150K. This mount dropped on my very first toon's 1st time in the Stonecore. I rolled 86, my buddy rolled 88. I haven't seen it drop again since, but at least one of my friends got it!

Comentário de cruisefortibet

This mount dropped for me after 147 kills (normal mode). I was trying about 20 times/day for about a week and so it got old fast. I don't recommend anyone do it this many times per day, the only reason I did was because someone told me that it was unlikely that the mount would drop for me... so I became stubborn. It was really tiresome to do and I felt kind of crazy around run 90 or so.

Like previous commenters have stated, this dungeon is ridiculously easy at level 90. Good luck to everyone farming this mount, it is beautiful and the excitement of having it finally drop is worth it!

Comentário de Iiyan

I started farming this about 2 weeks ago.
I am a 561 Restoration Druid with boomy spec (Still using resto gear in boomy spec) -- I ran through all of the trash packs with Millhouse Manastorm all the way to the last pack (3 trash packs in total) and AoE'd them down, killed boss and stealthed through to Slabhide.

I noted down my runs -- Averaged 5 minutes when I killed each trash pack from start until Slabhide kill. Once I started rushing the starting trash packs, I pulled it down to around 3 and a half to 4 minutes. Run out, reset all dungeons. Rinse and Repeat.
I ran the maximum of 5 dungeons per hour, then camped or did dailies in the remaining time.

I noted each run down, so I could keep track.
Got the mount on the 33rd run without realizing until I checked my inventory at the vendor (Which I cleared out after each run).

Good luck everyone! This is probably the best drop chance I have had on anything in-game :P

Comentário de Pennywyse

Having rarity from just farming skyshards, I started farming this, got it after 9 attempts.

Comentário de 1145677

I was just reading this page to see which type of instance the drake drops in (reg or heroic) and after my second run through reg mode it drops. My jaw hit the floor. I really didn't expect it to drop at all, at least not within the first 100 tries lol.

Comentário de SpawnRuler

Dropped for me after 4 tries.

Comentário de Jazzycakes2

So like most people I've been soloing multiple instances for various bosses and have put together some statistical likelihood that I want to share with you all so that you can use this information as well to your own bidding.

So I'm farming these mounts on a day basis
Rédeas do Protodraco Azul 1.1% Chance to drop
Rédeas do Senhor dos Corvos 1.6% Chance to drop
Raptor Razzashi Armadurado 1.0% Chance to drop
Pantera Zulian Veloz 0.96% Chance to drop
Rédeas do Draco de Pedra Vítreo 0.77% Chance to drop
Rédeas do Draco do Vento Norte 0.8% Chance to drop

Now I want to look at the statistical likelyhood of NOT seeing any of the above drop, we use an inverted value for the above (1% turns to 99%, 1.5% to 98.5%). The calculation is as followed

0.989 x 0.984 x 0.99 x 0.9906 x 0.9923 x 0.992 = 93.94% Chance of none of the above mounts dropping. (6.06% chance of at least one mount dropping)

I improve this by running this 7 times a week = 0.9394^7 = 64.56% Chance of no mounts dropping
OR run this 21 times a week with 3 alts = 0.9394^21 = 26.91% Chance of no mounts (73.1% chance of at least 1 mount!)

Wednesday I also include 3 weekly mounts which include

Cinzas de Al'ar 1.96% Chance to drop
Rédeas do Cavalo de Guerra Fogoso 0.85% Chance to drop
Rédeas do Draco Onyxiano 1.13% Chance to drop

This day the chance for nothing is (daily mounts) 0.9394 x 0.9804 x 0.9915 x 0.9887 =90.28% chance of nothing dropping - or 9.72% chance of one or more mounts dropping :)

Comentário de evangelina

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this in the comments yet, but you don't have to kill the first boss (Corborus) in order to get to Slabhide if you have a combat drop ability like vanish. Farming him as a priest, I ran through the first three groups, killed Millhouse, ran straight through the wall Corborus bursts through and then used Spectral Guise to drop combat. There are three mobs that patrol the hall between Corborus and Slabhide that can be easily avoided. Doing this makes the run take anywhere from 1-2 min max for each attempt. Happy farming

Comentário de 1114570

Finally dropped for me today.. Took about 20+ tries spanned over several days. I was just starting to think it wouldn't drop for me ever!

Comentário de 1243584

Finally, I got it on the 150th run :) (Normal)
It's all about time, patience.
People who say it'll never drop I already said that on the 140th run, I didn't want to continue but the comments is the only thing that made me go on, then I have thought that it might drop in about 5-10 runs, and it happened :)
Remember, it's about you being patient.
Never give up and Good Luck!

Comentário de 1091222

Glad it showed up on BM, 0,6% is low.. Bought it for 70k

Comentário de Nocked

For those interested, this is one of the most time efficient mounts to farm in the game. Each run (once you have the pattern down) take 3-4 minutes and there's a teleporter from Stonehide's area directly back to he instance portal. My runs averaged 3-4 minutes each until I was locked out for the hourly limit...then just come back later. Everywhere ports to Stormwind, and Deepholm port in SW places your right next to the instance entrance, so you can get there very quickly from almost anywhere in the game.

And just to back up comments below, it does indeed drop in normal mode.

Good luck!

Comentário de misakira023

Just had my 200th kill trying to get this mount and still nothing. So frustrating.

Comentário de greg098

This mount took me about 50 kills to finally get it.

This dungeon is very profitable if you farm it at level 90. I would easily make 1000g each run. Heres how:

Gold drops: 30g

Embersilk x80 (I have tailoring): Sells for 50g a stack on my server. 200g

Greens disenchated to Greater Celestial Essence (sells for 20g each on my server) and Hypnotic Dust (sells for 20g each on my server). This place has sooo many greens! 500g

Blue boe's. They dont sell for much in the auction house but you normally get about 2 per run. 50g

Helpful Wikky's Whistle trinket. 20g from materials and potions he brings back. Also motes of harmony. THIS WILL ONLY WORK AT LEVEL 90 AS IT ONLY GIVES CREDIT BASED ON KILLS THAT STILL GIVE XP. 20g

Golden Fleece and Golden Moss trinkets. Gold that drops around the place. These trinkets work together! THIS WILL ONLY WORK AT LEVEL 90 AS IT ONLY GIVES GOLD BASED ON KILLS THAT STILL GIVE XP. 20g

Potion of Treasure Finding: Average about 10-20 chests per run. You get alot of expensive materials with this potion a must to have. This potion lasts 1 hour! 500g

On average, a run will net you: 1320 gold.

A full run can be completed in under 10 minutes. If you skip trash and go directly to the boss then you can do this within 5 minutes.

Based on the data from Jazzycakes2 here is a spreadsheet that will help you know the odds of a mount dropping if you are doing multiple runs and maybe using more than one character to farm them.
Will depress some people and hopefully encourage others!

Comentário de thebl4ckd0g

after about 50-75 kills (the addon I'm using only shows 37, but I haven't been using the addon as long as I've been farming), I finally got it tonight.

Also it looks like the upped the # of times you can do instances in an hour recently. I was able to run it 9-10 times in an hour instead of just 5. That also helped.

Good luck on your farming! :)

Comentário de MrSml

I finally got it on my 150th kill on normal and must say that I really appreciated the raise of the cap on the number of dungeons you can enter in 1 hour.

I recommend doing this on a Rogue, I managed to squeeze down a run to 1 min & 35 seconds which includes standing outiside the dungeon, perform the kill and standing outside again and having reset the dungeon.

For talents I used & Estouro de Velocidade with the glyph . I only focused on Millhouse and did not kill any trash at all on my way to Slabhide. In other words, within 20 min I was able to make 10 runs.

Comentário de IMissThottbot

Storytime!

I farmed this mount on my mains for months, soloing it on normal throughout Cataclysm, and part of MoP. Eventually, after hundreds of runs and no sighting, I sort of forgot about it.

Skip ahead: I'm levelling a druid, using Guardian spec to quickly queue through instances. Stonecore calls. I've forgotten about the mount, really; more, I'm frustrated at the group. I was patient, but it was just me and a caster (warlock, or mage, I forget which now). The other two dps were bots, afk entirely; the healer would simply stand beside them, healing them and waiting for them to move, despite us letting him know that they were just bots.

So when we hit Slabhide, the healer and other two dps were still outside the room, not responding and not approaching. I figured I'd probably die, being the right level for the dungeon, but having solo'd it so many times at lower level anyway, I just went for it.

It was a very long, gruelling fight "at level," and I came quite close more than once to dying. My knowledge of my class (it wasn't my first druid) and long experience soloing the dungeon at level served me well, however, and we did it--barely. When finally we defeated the boss, just the caster and I, we were damn happy and proud, and rightly so. The mount was the -last- thing on my mind as I clicked the loot icon--yet there it was.

The next few minutes were spent in utter, horrified suspense as I waited to see what the bot DPS & absent healer would roll... the caster and I both rolled need. I fully expected the bots to roll need and win after being entirely afk the entire dungeon--such is luck, right?

Not to be, this day! I won the roll, to my utter joy--and even the caster kindly told me, "you deserve it."

*wipes tear* ;)

Comentário de StarAshes

I got Rédeas do Draco de Pedra Vítreo on my first day after 20 runs on normal. Spent only 4 hours on it. I'm really surprised that I got it so fast. I expected it to take more then 100 runs after all the comments.

This is such a beautiful mount and I wish luck to all of you still or just starting to farm this mount. :)

<Deadly Boss Mods> Normal - Slabhide down after 11 seconds! Your last kill took 9 seconds and your fastest kill took 7 seconds. You have 127 total victories.
You receive loot: Rédeas do Draco de Pedra Vítreo

mustered my will - to have it drop in two days...thank god it did...any players could have gone mad after 100 attempts lol
instance cap is around 10 if im not mistaken
good luck. Hope this helps

Comentário de Thrallscream

Began to farm this on my Enhancement shammy (all Grievous PVP gear) yesterday and after the 30th run today (and last time before I called it quits for the night) the beautiful purple epic item showed up. "YEA" as loud as I could was my way of celebrating geek style lol.

So I realize most people don't like when people come on here telling them about their good luck so I'll add, what I hope, is a relevant piece of information...

The farming itself from beginning to Slabhide should take no longer than 2-3 minutes. Seriously. Rush through the mobs at lightning speed. Wait for Millhouse to start his rant. Run past worm and toward Slabbypoo to burn him in 10 seconds. Use the portal. Rinse, lather, repeat.

I start the instance running through each group of mobs (spirit walk) until I hit the last group standing there as a big group. The reason I pull everyone is because before I begin farming I pop a Potion of Treasure Finding in order to collect massive amounts of treasure chests.

Don't attack Millhouse until last otherwise the worm will kill that big group full of phat loots.

If you like gold or need it, this is a great way to farm it while you farm your mount. Why waste time just going for the mount when you can profit right? My Shammy is a Tailor/Enchanter so I use him to farm exclusively since I can pull in massive amounts of Embersilk and Disenchant anything I need. Hypnotic dust still sells for a pretty copper and bags are still pulling 300-500 gold each.

On my last run my bags were full of chests and loot which was why I was gonna call it quits. Lo and behold... a beautiful ending indeed.

Happy farming!

Comentário de Shogol

Didn't play much cata so decided to go back and farm for this mount, had bought 3 stacks of Deepholm potions, expected to stay there for a while. Mount dropped on my 5th run on normal. Meanwhile I probably have the world record for Kael'thas kill without seeing ashes drop once.

Comentário de riickky

Comentário de Raikenkaji

got it on my fifth attempt of the nite roughly 40+ kills bef he dropped

Comentário de Silvansaria

I think Blizzard changed something here...?
Maybe I'm just trippin' but I can run this in about 3 minutes (with the help of the teleporter). So - that's what I've been doing - and I'm STILL doing it - meaning - I have gone way past the lockout timer but it's still letting me enter and run it... (yes - this is normal).

Okay - beyond that - I was on Nordrassil before my current server (which is Staghelm). On Nordrassil - I must have run this about 200 times and nothing. Here - I have picked up my usual pace - have about 15 kills - still nothing. But then again I have the worst luck - usually takes me way past the worst players bad luck to get a droppable mount so we'll see...

I guess my advice would be - just do this when you're bored and or between things you're doing at home. Run it a few times, and then get back to something else and keep doing that - eventually it will drop (well - I say that with a glint of shakey hope)...

Comentário de gonez

I was doing ICC25HC yesterday with couple of friends, so good that now we can complete it in 5 minutes. When we finally zerged LK I was instantly disconnected from battle.net.
2 minutes later, after much struggle and some cursing I was able to connect, but just in time to see the Tank bragging about his new mount. They rolled it while I was disconnected. I could only fly straight to Stonecore, with a Frostmourne crossed on my belly and beat the cr*p outta Slabhide, hard enough to make him drop the Stone Drake, on my first try. So glad about my new mount and a little upset about angry management.

Took me 256 kills counted through Pandaria... Probably over 100 kills in Cata too.

Comentário de DarlingDoolittle

Very easily soloable as a level 90 BM hunter, ilevel 550, full PvP gear (With no legendary cloak). Took me 13 runs for it to drop; only about an hour of grinding.

Run Stonecore on the Normal difficulty because:

1) It's easier.
2) You can run out and reset it, unlike Heroic difficulty, whereas you can only run it once a day.

When you enter Stonecore, there will be a mob of 5-6 NPC's standing in front of you. In the middle of those NPC's will be a gnome with white hair. After you kill that mob, the gnome will flee to the next mob, shouting some hilarious jokes. He will continue to do this until about three mobs in, right before the first boss. The first boss, which is a giant worm, will bust out of the rocky wall to the left of the gnome and his mob, flinging them off the cliff and killing them. Easy as that. Kill the first boss.The mobs with the gnome standing in them are the ONLY mobs that you have to kill to access the first boss. If you do not kill him and try to sneak past these mobs instead, the first boss will not summon.

After that, it's a walk through the park. For the most part, you can avoid all of the NPC's until you get to the second boss, which is the Drake that drops this mount. He's very easy to kill when you run to his platform. After the Drake is down, there will be a portal right behind his body that will teleport you back to the beginning of the instance. This way, you don't have to run all the way back. From there, you can run out, reset the instance, and run back in. Wash, rinse, repeat.

On the bright side, you only have to run this instance to the second boss, unlike some other rare mount instances and raids. It's very easy, just tedious. Play some of your music and happy farming!

Comentário de ricangsxrdude

Just got on my 21st straight run through Stonecore. Set to normal, go down him, if it doesn't drop, use the portal behind him. Exit the dungeon, reset, repeat. 10 tries per hour, take a little break in between if you reach the dungeon cap. You're welcome. And good luck.

Comentário de phantommentos

After about 15~ Solo Runs as a level 90 Spriest I found a pretty optimal way to grind this guy out.

1. Ignore all of the mobs at the beginning except for Milhouse.
2. Kill Milhouse
3. Collect the rest of the mobs in an area where you can aoe them down quickly
4. Skip the first boss
5. Dot up the stone guys and the flayers, A group of two flayers and 1 stone guy can be skipped
6. Kill the boss hopefully before he begins flying in the air
7. Loot the corpse and use the teleporter to the side to instantly head back to the start
8. Rinse and repeat. Happy Farming,

Comentário de paglop

got it after 319kills, even with less than 2min per dj (x10) it is a a painful process:)
something strange happened on the victorious session if you avoid first boss and go into the tunnel
the first crystalspawn giant, which can be easily skipped in general, this time was at the tunnel entry.

In about a week ago I got Rivendare' Deathcharger-33 kills.

Today 8-5-2014 I got the Swift White hawk on first try-Yes I was screaming- Like a man ofcouse.

And today my crusade Begins on this awesome stone drake.

I will update this when I get it :D

Comentário de TimB1087

Rogues can perhaps farm this the fastest. I'm at about ilvl 500 (mainly Timeless Isle gear), with a pvp dagger and a boosted (green) dagger, and I can complete one run in just under 3 minutes. None of my stuff is enchanted/gemmed, either. So, for those of you with geared rogues, this will be even quicker.

For each pack, get Millhouse first, kick the Force of Earth to interrupt, focus down each mob, use redirect to move your combo points, and keep slice and dice up with the glyph of deadly momentum. Once the first pack is down, stealth and burst of speed to the second pack and repeat. If you're fast enough, 2 or 3 combo points towards SnD is good enough to keep it up between all three packs. You can skip the third pack by focusing down Millhouse then using vanish as soon as he runs away. Don't need to kill the rest of the mobs. BoS past the trash past the first boss, kill Slabhide, rinse and repeat.

Also, if you build 5 points on Slabhide for SnD, and your kill+instance reset is quick enough, SnD will still be up for the first trash mob pack when you re-enter.

I started farming this mount in August 2014. After 250 kills I didn't see it drop and I began to wonder what I was doing wrong .. should I farm it on heroic etc. I started farming on heroic ...started killing Slabhide only in air phase ... started not using pet etc.

I just want to assure all mount farmers out there .. it dropped on normal after 257 runs .. no special tactics required ... doesn't mamter how or when you kill Slabhide .. you do not need to kill Slabhide in the air phase .. it doesn't matter if you skip first boss ... what moves you use ... how you kill Slabhibe .. just kill Slabhibe over and over, any way you can or want, in normal ... it will eventually drop

Comentário de warcraftier

I have just killed Slabhide for the 400th time. Still no mount. I'm starting to feel a deep hatred for rose quartz.

Keep calm and farm on.

Comentário de Maritas

It dropped for me after 3 weeks of every day farming. And to confirm, it does drop on normal. I started off with an Heroic and then switched over to normal and got it on my 4th run in. I about freaked as after reading these posts, my drop rate is terrible so I expected several months of farming. My advice - go in and normal and do it as many times as you can until the next day. Happy hunting!

Comentário de 1232207

180 runs in and nothing so far.

Therefore, I'm going to call on the power of complaining on wowhead and then seeing it drop in my next few runs.

I'll return soon with the good news and words of encouragement to never give up!

Comentário de patchkin

Phew! Droped after 186 kills (I think i was really lucky). Was running on Normal as a 90 WW Monk. At this level and ilevel it takes about 2 minutes to get to him. Pull the first room, spam aoe, run pass Corborus, repeat 10 times per hour. Oh, and don't forget to use the portal behind Slabhide. I got about 2k Embersilk Cloth and 5k gold just from trash and selling loot
Drop is totally random. I too recommend using Rarity addon so you can monitor your.."progress" :D
Happy hunting and good luck!

Comentário de 1376391

20 runs in pandaria and I got it, had 50+ runs in cata

Comentário de 1332783

This mount takes persistence. I got it on my 51st attempt (DBM tells you previous victories so it was easy to track). Best advice is if you are going to try for this mount be ready to stick with it, it will drop eventually. Secondly be prepared for the ten instance per hour limit and don't forget the teleporter at Slabhide for leaving the instance (I ran back out the first few times before realizing it was there).

Comentário de Myzt1k

Just started farming this mount as a 542 combat rogue. 1 run takes 1:32 to complete. Just keep running with burst of speed and Evasion (to stop stuns) and just just keep hitting milhaus only and ignoring all the other adds. Once the first boss burst through the wall Vanish and run to slabhide, Use the portal after kill, reset, repeat:)

Comentário de 1385884

does the mount still drop on normal mode?

Comentário de Sov32

I my self working on getting this mount So thanks for the info guys been working hours and hours quick as possible on my lvl 90 Arcane Mage with my ilvl 516 so far nothing yet but since the patch after every 10 runs the instance loading screen bugs out and get stuck and I have to close wow and run another character for a while till I can run into Stonecore once again.

So a heads up for anyone planning to go mount farming on the 6.0.2 patch.

Comentário de Wheeljack

While farming this mount, you can also make a bit of money for yourself, without slowing the run down too much.
I killed the first boss, then his trash, looted cloth and greens and blue items before I ran to Slabhide and finished him. A run averaged ~2 minutes.

When I was done farming, I made myself 5 Bolsa de Seribrasa from the cloth and greens I disenchanted and made ~5k from looting gold and selling blue trash. (or you could skip this bit and shave off ~30 second pr run)

You can also use a Poção para Achar Tesouros for even more greens/cloth/gold.

Comentário de Joann

Keep in mind that there's instance lockout. You can only enter 10 instances per hour (be happy :p before it was 5 >.<). It's per realm, so if you have toons that can solo it on more than one server you can squeeze in more runs ^_^ Also it only works for manually entered instances, so don't need to worry that game won't let you in to LFG or LFR :)

Speeding runs up doesn't really do much, unless you want to take 40 min breaks every 20 min (average run at 90 takes 2 min), or you have 90 on 3 servers (if your average clear time is 3 min then 2 will be enough to avoid lockout).
If you have only one toon you can ofc do only 10 runs or less per day and not worry about lockout at all :P but if you want to farm non stop you should try to do each run in minimum 6 min (kill more trash/bosses to get some nice income while farming).

Whichever farming method you'll choose, I recommend getting SavedInstances addon. It will show timer on 10/hour instance lockout. (<3 that one, it does so much more... it'll track all raid lockouts, currency, dailies and weeklies, event bosses, tradeskill cooldowns, ...even what you planted on your farm and when you'll be able to pick it up.... and it all across all of your toons!)

*Thank You Foregrim for pointing out that lockout is server wide and not acc wide :)

I feel bad for you guys. This dropped on my TWELVETH run on normal. :D I was so excited

Comentário de Omega90210

Guys, I can confirm drops in 10 man regular as of 6.0.2... Just got mine after attempt #50. ilvl 516 Frost Mage... Cycle: skipped first boss -> cleared trash on the way -> killed slabhide -> used teleporter -> reset -> rinse & repeat... It got so boring and I started to feel so hopeless around run number 30 or so...but guys...this drake is sooo coool looking so worth the effort. It has such a nice glow around the blue stones on his body...Must have for your collection!

Comentário de 1389029

Rather than just posting about "oh I got it first try," or "omg I love this thing, I'm so lucky to have gotten it so quickly," etc., it would be of a greater value - and beneficial - to the people who come here in search of tips and/or advice, if people would actually GIVE that advice or tips. Don't get me wrong - I'm happy for you all, everyone who got their mount drop after 3 tries or anything like that. Just don't flaunt it in everyone's face please..

*rant over*

..
Okay, so there are a few things to keep in mind if you plan on, or already are, farming for the mount:

Yes, it does drop on normal as well as heroic (this has its obvious benefits).
As of patch 6.0.3 the mount is STILL available. I don't know why some people have been claiming that they "switched it to being only obtainable on heroic" since 6.0.2 released. Ignore the trolls.
Don't let yourself become discouraged by people who'll tell you about how they've been farming for it for ages and that you'll never get it - and vice-versa; don't let your hopes go way over the top when you hear people getting it on their first try.
Don't allow it to become an obsession, as I did. Make sure to still do other things in between. 24/7 farming for a mount is discouraging in itself and is exhausting. I made the mistake of ONLY doing stonecore farming, nothing else, until I got it. It got very tiring very quickly. PACE YOURSELF!

There are a few tips that I can give, that may help to ease the frustration of farming.. They don't increase your drop chances, but nonetheless they're important.

Try NOT to go into each run with the mindset of "I'm feeling lucky with this one" because TRUST me, you're just going to get more and more "depressed" each passing run IF you keep this kind of mindset. Also - as others have also stated - try to think of it as if you are challenging yourself each time; try to see how quickly you can run it, believe me it will keep your mind off of the grind. Most importantly tho, DON'T try to keep count of the exact number of runs you've done. The reasoning for this should be apparent.. If it isn't, then I'll just say this: no one ever looks at *potentially* large numbers to find happiness.
There is one last thing tho - listen to music while you farm, it helps soothe the farming etc etc etc. Nothing sucks more than silently grinding for hours endlessly (metaphorically speaking....hopefully). It might seem minor, but it helps SO much.

(It'll all feel so worth it once you eventually see Rédeas do Draco de Pedra Vítreo in that loot table tho! You just have to work for it!)

Good luck! And don't give up! :)

**still applies after 6.0.3 patch**

Comentário de 1390476

Decided that I was a bit burnt out with SoO content and decided to farm this particular mount! Got mine today with 20-30 runs on normal. (A day or so of focused running, with 2-3 hourly lockouts).

Some tips:

Played as MW Monk and just kept my mobility skills on CD to burn through to the boss. Consumed an unhealthy amount of Poção de Rapidez and Poção Aguanegra to speed up the runs.

Take advantage of the stacked movement speed in 6.0.2.
Buy a Botas de Couro do Highlander and enchant it with Encantamento do Passo do Pandaren - Botas. This should give a +20% Movement speed. Get a empty helmet to gem a Diamante Primevo Lépido and get another 10%.
This running gear should give you +30% MS; awesome for this farm.

The biggest tip is to not focus on the farm; I mainly played hearthstone and studied while grinding!

GOT EM! approx. 320 runs. nbd

Comentário de 1394946

I ran this approx 22 times on my Paladin, and started to get bored a couple of months back.

Decided to farm it whilst watching TV yesterday on my Rogue, and got it after the 37th attempt.

Cycle went: Sprint/Clear all trash until first boss, take down first boss, sprint stealth through tunnel, sprint to Slabhide, kill Slabhide and then use teleporter -> rinse/repeat.

Managed to clock 1.5 - 2 minute clears this way, so roughly 20 minutes per 10 lock out.

Come back 40 mins later (I decided to clear some quests from Deepholm I never did), and kept trying. Got it within 4 hours, obviously.

Keep at it guys, you'll get it soon!

Comentário de 1186057

Been farming for this drake off and on. Managed to get Onyxia's drake after about 10 attempts. Best tip that worked for me is to download a mod to keep track of your attempts. It doesn't guarantee a drop and on your 99th attempt it will still be a 1% chance at seeing it but keeping track of your kills gives you another measurement to check while you're tediously farming.

Also, I found it slightly motivating as you'll always do that one extra run to get your kill count to a round number!

Comentário de 1414051

So, I've been farming the Blue Proto-Drake in Heroic UP for a few week on a couple of toons, today I finally got lucky and it dropped on my shaman! I was so happy and still feeling lucky I headed to the Stonecore to try for Vitreous Stone Drake, on my 5th run it dropped on normal mode. So he does drop on normal mode, patch 6.0.3. Don't give up guys!

Comentário de Hallowqi

Started working on this mount a couple of hours ago because i got a little too hyped about it matching one of my mogs, but I figured I'd share my thoughts.

1. It can drop on Heroic and regular, so i usually start off on heroic then back to regular.
2. If you actually loot the few mobs you do kill it can be a profit if you vendor everything. AHing mats may be better but my servers economy is balls right now.
3. You can farm it ten times per hour PER SERVER. I have 3 toons parked out front (all with decent to great mobility) and i usually run it 25 to 30 times an hour.
4. My fastest method is, kill first pack-loot> second pack-loot> third pack-loot> kill first boss> get to second boss with minimal pulls, BUT IF YOU AGGRO ADDS, KILL THEM OR YOU CANT TAKE THE PORT> kill the drake-loot> port out and reset.
5. After each toon hits the run limit, I usually fly them a quick lap around deepholm to check for Aeonaxx who also drops a mount but don't get your hopes too high for this one, its just something to help manage your down time.

I just did 40 runs and no luck yet, but good luck to anyone hunting the mount and hang in there, it will drop!

Comentário de 1422699

Started constant farming on 1/2/2015 and have 155 runs, (might have missed marking down a few). I finally received it on a normal run. It's not fun, but it can be farmed. Now I'm on to Strathome or Vortex pinnacle. Good luck to all

Comentário de 1431439

Finally got this guy earlier tonight. Been running consistently about 20 runs a day for the last few days. Good luck! It is truly the best looking drake mount I've seen to date. Also I was running it on normal mode in case anybody was wondering.

Comentário de Jaggermaster

Trying get this mount 3 days, already done more then 50 time this dungeon and still nothing

Comentário de Faceroast

Have done Stonecore a lot since Cataclysm released. After Pandaria came out I didn't give it attention anymore. Figuring I was now level 100 I started farming him 3 days ago. Did 26 runs in total during these 3 days (3x Heroic and 23x Normal). Dropped on normal.

Tip: Make sure you kill everything you aggro while on your way to Slabhide. After you kill him you can't use the teleporter behind him if you still have aggro of anything. And since the mobs move very slow you have to run quite a bit back and kill them before you can use the teleporter to the entrance of the dungeon.

Good luck!

Comentário de deepthought1983

Its true, what they say. if your mind is focused on something other than the grind, when it finally drops its gonna make your day :)
i did 20 runs like four months ago. forgot about it. Love is in the Air comes around and i need my achievements for What a Long Strange Trip its Been (for the violet proto drake). Since im still at a 90 the mobs in Stonecore will give me lovely charms which are needed for making the bracelets to turn in to tokens, and you need A LOT. Plus, the last boss in the instance drops a bouquet of red roses (needed for My Love is like a Red, Red Rose achievement)
So,since i was already here i figured why not? i started on Feb. 4th. did 25 runs and had to join the real world. Feb. 5th i go back. I was ready to grind this dungeon for the entirety of this world event (if not longer) and upon looting on my 14nth kill for the day......saw my very first Stone Drake.....
My stats:
Thursday
Feb 5 2015
9:35 am real time
39th kill this year..(plus the other 20ish)
* all kills were on NORMAL since i was grinding for lovely charms.

- 32 runs, no luck

Comentário de gottabethebest1

Being very unhelpful, just now when I decided to run all old dungeons/raids for rarest drop mounts in one night, where I hit most of the old dungeons/raids for the first time ever, I got Reins of the Vitreous Stone Drake on Heroic. Coincidentally, was my 50th mount, so simultaneously unlocked Albino Drake.

Needless to say, it was a good day.

Maybe I'll exit this dungeon and find Aeonaxx has spawned.

Comentário de 1207203

Just wanted to say to everyone keep at it. Persistence wins all. I got this one today after 76 runs and I got North Wind in 64 runs. So two days of grinding I got two of the sweetest mounts IMO. Both were run in Normal Mode. Good luck all.

Comentário de 1409037

Approx 240 tries.. God bless you deepholm and aeonaxx campers, i will never come back again!:)

Comentário de Dentarthurdent

Was starting to wonder whether this really did drop on normal mode - then finally got it today after 148 runs (June 2015). I have a daily round of dungeons and a weekly round of raids I run for mounts. I did this dungeon only 5 times a day to keep me from going mad. Very happy I never have to go back to Stonecore again, and it's a very pretty mount :)

In a nice run of good luck, I next headed over to do 25m Throne of the Four winds and mount from there dropped as well (after only 11 tries).

Comentário de 1218853

According to rarity I got it in 8 runs, same night I started farming it. I had obviously killed it many times previously when it was current content, tonight I did 1 HC run and 7 normal runs, took about 15 mins, nice mount.

Only been collecting mounts for 2 weeks, already got a few nice rare ones.

Comentário de furymask

Decided to farm this mount and Rivendare's Deathcharger.

Got Vitreous Stone Drake on my 7th run of Stonecore.

Got the Deathcharger on my 203rd run of Stratheholme

So in the end I guess it kind of averages out.

Comentário de smitd

Dropped on my first try back in MoP when leveling my warrior.... lost the roll :(

Comentário de ToviValdora

I'll post this to the other drake too...

I *think* there might be a higher drop rate on heroic than normal. I was able to run both Vortex and Stonecore 22 times a day on heroic.

The drake in Vortex dropped after about 30 runs; this drake after about 60 runs.

I know there's a possibility I just got extremely lucky (rng and all) but I just wanted to share my findings in case someone wants to do just what I did.

Good luck.

Comentário de 1432198

At level 100 this is also super easy. (I play as a BM hunter.)
-Run in and kill the packs with Millhouse
-Run to the dragon, kill it, loot.
-Use the teleporter behind him to return to the entrance

This mount is still very rare, and it may take you twenty runs to get it. Or it might take you 473. It's a random drop. That's all there is. It took me about 4 runs to get it, which was awesome after losing Ashes of Al'ar three times in a row... :I

I can confirm that this mount still drops on Normal Difficulty, as I just got it today. I know that there has been speculation that it now only drops on Heroic Difficulty, but i now pronounce that theory debunked.

P.S. It took me roughly 90-110 kills to get this mount. At ten runs per hour, you can call this mount yours in half a day if you're persistent enough. Good luck!

Comentário de 1517708

This mount was one of the hardest for me obtain, ever! And this wasn't because it wouldn't drop - it just wouldn't drop for me.

#1 - Guild member won
#2 - Party member won (random dungeon finder)
#3 - Party member won (random dungeon finder)
Now you're probably wondering "Why didn't he just solo it?"
... I did solo it whenever I had the time, and playing the 150+ card is completely valid in this case. The unsatisfying feeling of not being able to call it mine only lead to more runs. And of course that's why
... it didn't drop

They say patience is a virtue and luck will find a way - and so it did in the end. Rédeas do Draco de Pedra Vítreo finally found its way home on the fourth drop.
In my experience, obtaining an item that you've farmed for ages, is indeed one of the greatest things in WoW - there's nothing like it. Keep at it and it'll be worth all the hours and dissapointments, best of luck!

This mount dropped for me on my 91st run. I had pretty spent my two days off partially running Normal Stonecore. On my level 100 hunter, I could kill slabhide, reset, run back in within 3 minutes. I did 10 runs back to back until I hit Instance cap. Waited an hour, started again.

Finally today...just got off work, logged onto Wow to get ready to start my runs again... I went in to my first run of the day. Clicked slabhide and BAM there it was. 91 tries guys. Don't give up. It has to drop for you...

Comentário de permeus

Ok so I'm farming this guy and I started thinking what's you timing like?

Mine on patch 6.2 is about 1:24 that's from pressing w after porting in to stepping out again and my best Boss kill time was on the stone worm thing with a time of 0.32 of a second.

I'm on a level 100 hunter.

So what's your times? And yes I'm making this comment to try and stop me from going nuts while running stonecore.

Comentário de Cilandria

Got mine today on my 450th run, all within the last week (excluding the fair number of runs I did when this was current content, in which I never saw this drop). It was my last of my 10 runs for the hour, so I decided to bow to Slabhide before killing him, then pet and thanked his corpse before looting. So who know, maybe you just need to be nice to him!

Just wanted to confirm for those who doubt that this does still drop on normal difficulty. I definitely started having doubts myself after a few hundred runs, but hang in there!

Given the very slim percentage of this mount drop and having read many comments here on the number of runs of the Stonecore instance others have done and still haven't picked it up, I can safely say that I got really, really lucky with RNG.

In the early hours of today (2AM, EU CET+1) I decided to do my first ever run of the Stonecore. After disposing of Corborus, Slabhide fell soon after. Knowing the slim chances, I approached to loot the fallen drake with no great expectations.

Despite having Auto-loot on, I saw in that fraction of a second when the loot window flashed on my screen, what I've picked up. Yes, I was the Reins.

Add to that the fact I was yet to obtain my first drake mount (I haven't played Wow all that much since I first tried it in 2011 and have been solo, never queued for Dungeons/Raids) and really wished for one, you can only imagine the grin on my face when I finished this dungeon.

Ran the Stonecore on my only char, L91 Worgen BM Hunter, solo, Normal mode.

Comentário de HereComesAtlas

Here is how mine went, got pretty lucky tho

StoneCore Runs:
===============================================
1: nothing
2: nothing
3: nothing
4: nothing
5: nothing
6: nothing
7: nothing
8: nothing
9: WE GOT IT BOYSS!

Each run takes 1:30 to 2:30 minutes. Really fast and easy dungeon to run.. just keep running it and you will get the mount. Also once you kill Slabhide there is a teleporter behind him that takes you right back to the start of the dungeon. Good luck hunting

I came to read more about this drake and it dropped for me, so this will be my new luck charm, come to wowhead, read about mount and head for the kill, I guess I'm going for that fiery warhorse now

Comentário de AnthoGames

I didnt know this drake was that rare. I got it on my first Heroic run back in cata! Ive had people message me in game about it :p

Comentário de TriZARAtops

If you're anything like me and getting this mount takes you 500+ kills, I have a small tip for you: Loot things.

I did this on my hunter who has skinning/lw, and I have another character with tailoring/enchanting. Every run, I would kill the packs with Millhouse, loot them and I would also kill the 3 flayers on the corner before the "gauntlet" that starts the Slabhide fight, skin them, and skin Slabhide himself. All the greens I got, I sent to my alt to disenchant along with the cloth drops to make Bolsa de Seribrasa, sold the leather on the AH, and I vendored everything else.

I didn't calculate exactly how much money I made doing this, but after a long day of 30+ runs, even without getting the mount to drop, I didn't feel like I had wasted my time, either.

Comentário de Poemz

Today dropped to me on the 5th run ( 3 runs on normal, 2 on Heroic)... to be honest i was going for the Rotten to the Core. Was like wtf when saw it dropped o.O

Comentário de Artuleska

Got this after 56 runs on Normal difficulty. Not too bad.

Comentário de stockbridge100

Mount farming has been testing at times; thankfully been running 11-16 characters through each week for the past few months. Appreciate the comments here about how long it took to obtain them, as it let me know I wasn't alone. So here are my stats according to Rarity (there probably an additional 20-40 kills on each before I started using the addon):

Drake of the South Wind (mostly 10m): 437 kills
Smoldering Egg (Rag, 10m): 303
Vitreous Stone Drake: 252
Invincible: 181
Swift Zulian Tiger: 102
Fiery Warhorse: 93
Mimiron's Head: 82
Ashes of Alar: 38
Deathcharger: 24

Jade Direhorn (1in20): 49
Riding Turtle (1in200): 124
Spineclaw Crab (1in60): 180

Comentário de Caronite

Got it after 101 attempts. Very pretty mount. This was quite enjoyable to farm, especially compared to Stratholme which was pain in the ass. Drake of the North Wind next. :)

Comentário de Feelthetom01

Ok so I was doing time warped stonecore one night and that dungeon just sucks cuz everyone is just so squishy. So I decided after I was so pissed off I was gonna go on normal and just wreck all the bosses and there I got it first try. o.o

Comentário de Girby2K13

Got it after 12 runs on my Demon Hunter. Strange, usually mounts like this take me 3 years to get.

Comentário de 1695573

Does it matter what difficulty you set the dungeon to?

Comentário de 1697572

Hi
It took me 15 runs for this mount. I' ve put 2 different alts in front of the entrance and it dropped. Was more than happy after running almost 3 weeks of that instance.
Good Luck.

Comentário de JacobRussian

Oh my god, got this on my 2nd try, am so incredibly happy right now

Comentário de kylexhastings

Oh my god. Got this on my first try on normal! So excited!

Comentário de GalleVaming

Finally got this today.. i farmed it hard some years ago and it never dropped. Then it dropped 2 Days ago in a random group while leveling - i rolled 82 and someone got it with a 83 - not even writing anything... i was so sad.
Then i really wanted it and parked a char in front of the dungeon and did it 10 times from then to then.
No it finally dropped - after another.. 50 runs or so... no i'm happy again! :)

Comentário de 1673110

Anyone else have a really obnoxious static/buzzing noise coming from their drake? It's my favorite mount but I can't stand the buzzing :(

Comentário de CloverDreams

This mount also drops on Normal mode, meaning you can try this ten times a day on all your characters. After fighting the boss (if the item doesn't drop, obviously) use the pad right next to his corpse, port to the beginning, go outside, reset and go again.

If you wanted to make it a macro it's /script ResetInstances(); or just right-click your portrait and reset it from there.

Comentário de crimminal

Got this on my 92nd post-Cataclysm attempt just 10 days after getting Rédeas do Senhor dos Corvos. Off to Stratholme to farm Rédeas do Corcel da Morte.

Comentário de Turboslav

Finally got it today. Took me about 70 runs and yes, the mount does make this annoying buzzing noise.

Comentário de ModishVision

It took 29 Attempts to obtain this mount Rédeas do Draco de Pedra Vítreo . Keep farming guys only way to do it.

Comentário de Alechs777

So, my adventure with this mount began back in MoP, when I was able to solo it on normal. I ran it multiple times on my warlock, druid, but without success. Last week I told myself that I'm gonna farm the crap out of the dungeon mounts (aka Vortex Pinnacle, Stratholme, UK). I assigned my shaman and hunter to farming this. I kept on doing ten runs on each. Yesterday I also took my demon hunter for a trip there, did 5 runs and left him outside the dungeon - who knows, maybe Aeonaxx will spawn. As I was switching between three other characters parked around Voidtalon's spawn points, I gave up and decided to do one more run before leaving Deepholm. On heroic this time, and it dropped. I'm actually over the moon :D
Yay, now more characters to run VP with :')

Comentário de 1328912

I got this today on my 8th run of normal.About time I had some luck!

Comentário de Therier

Never seen this drop a once before today. Not sure if they have increased it drop chance or was I lucky. I have never farmed it though and only been in Stonecore dungeon when I had to (leveling).

Comentário de Vandeel

The mount dropped for me today on Frostmourne on Normal difficulty. Farmed this mount on and off over a period of 4 weeks. Before i killed slabhide i *!@#ing prayed and positioned myself behind the boss - closed me eyes and BAM it dropped.

Comentário de Aladrias

I've found the legion cooking recipe Receita: Tartare de Urso makes this dungeon a fast run now - each time you kill an enemy you get a speed boost. I've been doing 10 dungeon runs each day when I check in for Um amor da pesada. Makes life tolerable - I think I'm up to about 150 kills and no mount as yet.

Ronda Rousey just had this mount drop for her http://www.instagram.com/p/BWQaXDuhguR/

250 tries and still counting :(

Comentário de zDinamicK

In two days i got the Bulwark of Azzinoth and this mount, the shield and the mount at the first try.

Comentário de TerribleTim68

Still drops, don't give up! I finally got it today after somewhere around 50 runs spread out over my 11 toons. Glad to be done with that one. Now on to Aeonaxx. :-/

Comentário de Maxious1972

Anyone else notice these older dungeons got tweak and now Normal drops have a higher item level? The worse of it all is that now some of the bosses don’t drop any loot! How does this effect the already horrible drop rates of mounts?

Comentário de WizBizzy

Got this mount on my 4th normal run ever, also got the astral cloud serpent on my first run ever 1 hour before this one. Used up my RNG luck for the next decade probably lol

Comentário de 1842136

Just dropped for me at 4:36pm, Normal 25 man after approx. 130-140 runs :)
GL everyone trying to get this one.

Comentário de Blissfulpie

To save time the first boss can be ignored and you can walk right pass it.

Comentário de shammer1

Started to try and get it camping Aeonaxx, 3 days running constant with 4 toons got it on Normal level difficulty, about 60 runs, not to bad compared to the camping for Aeonaxx. Three weeks straight Camping Aeonaxx driving me crazy, will have to re-learn how to play WoW after this.

Comentário de NotInventedhere

Nice, just dropped on my first attempt for it!

Comentário de nickvannuchi

The very funny thing in my story is that is that i got Aeonaxx after 5 days doing nothing, just standing in front this dungeon. I noticied many people in and out (probably to farm that mount) but i resisted focusing in Aeonaxx.

After got him and celebrate, i decided to get this one. Then i read guides, prepared myself, bought bear tartares, equipped nitro boots, saw vídeos etc... very prepared to a intense 50 runs to get Vitreous Drake and... it dropped on first try. I literally spent 50x more time preparing to it than farming it actually.

Comentário de 1874613

I got this mount on my 175th try. Took a few days and way more instance locks...but so worth. Just keep pushing, the runs are very quick with Demon Hunters and Rogues. This mount is a beautiful addition to my collection of other drakes!

Comentário de BrkoCZ

Finaly after 106 attempts. Done it few days on my toons on HC only, then I got mad and I done it daily on normal on one toon only, took 4 days of farming :)

Comentário de 1891920

Took me around 700 tries (don't know exactly because DBM failed to log some fights; I have killed Slabhide to fast for DBM to log it). The official number is 630 on normal and 8 on heroic tho.
It dropped on normal.

Comentário de Georgino

Got this today after 18 tries on normal

Comentário de RyanPsiko

It says in the loot journal it drops on normal too

Comentário de 1910198

Ran it on normal, got it on the first try. Got bored after not finding Aeonax for ages, so checked Stonecore instead.

Comentário de medenicarasa

200 recorded tries so far and no Mount

Comentário de Tomiss13

Got it after 122 normal runs. It is the best dungeon for farming in my opinion. You can use teleport, which is incredibly helpful.

Comentário de judief

Merry Christmas to me! I don't know how many runs - finally dropped on H25 in Dark Iron.

Comentário de Volleynova

This took me from December 2010 to February 2019. Several instance-cap runs per year. Easy to farm, but extremely rare to drop. Glad it's finally over, and my best to everyone else still going for it!

Comentário de megatherian

Just ran this dungeon on heroic and then normal for the first time. Got the mount on the normal run (2 tries total). Maybe I should head to Vegas ;)

Comentário de Zynyster96

211 tries so far, and yet no luck :(

Comentário de dragunknight92

Don't forget to use the tele pad after the drake to get out again quickly.

Comentário de Calamityyy

Took me 163 attempts for it to drop on normal (today) if it helps. I killed the first boss each time since it was convenient, otherwise, I ran 5-10 every day or so.

Comentário de kennytheger

Another shout here for Normal drop, my brother has been farming this for a while and I tagged along tonight, first run was negative, second run after using portal and the mount dropped for me, I don't think he's speaking to me now....

Comentário de Headshot314

With the droprate being 0.68% then you have a

50% chance to get it at 102 tries

75% chance to get it at 203 tries

90% chance to get it at 337 tries

99% chance to get it at 675 tries

The equation i used is
%Chance = 1-(1-0.068)^number of tries

solving for number of tries gives you
Number of tries = ln(1-%chance)/ln(1-0.068)

Comentário de dmonroe

So I made a new account, mainly for the recruit-a-self items. Got this on my very first ever run of this dungeon during the timewalking event! I know just super lucky rng.

Comentário de whistler2k4

Finally dropped. Only took what.. 7-ish years?

Comentário de PokeCow

Just got this mount today, good luck to everyone!

Comentário de Fondoor

found after about 170 attempts.

druid cat form is the fastest method i found.

use Brutal Slash on the mobs that Milhouse runs to, then when he runs toward the first boss encounter, skip it entirely and run directly through the hole in the wall and skip everything until Slabhide. you might have to kill some things that you aggro though.

also i should point out, i got this on normal difficulty

Comentário de Aisubeki

Fun story regarding how I got my mount last night.

First to clarify, I've wanted this mount for a while, but I haven't really did any intense farming for it. Maybe 100 runs or less.

I had no plans of trying to get this mount any time soon. But I happened to look at the BMAH last night and there it was, Vitreous Stone Drake, 70k. <30 minutes to go. I bid on it. Wait 20ish minutes and then someone bid. We got into a quickly escalating bidding war, but a short one as it got to 210k and that was well over half my current pot. I backed out, they won the mount and I, like a sore loser, flew out to Deepholm.

Maybe the mount will drop for me. Maybe, just maybe, I am to have this mount tonight. Well, as luck would have it, after only 8 runs, the mount dropped! I was pretty speechless honestly. But good news, that guy I was bidding against, and I ended up getting the mount we wanted last night. So cheers mystery bidder!

Happy Farming everyone! (Dropped on Normal)

Comentário de babyylizzy

Comentário de Haeggenn

Me and a friend decided to grind this one last night, and the @#$%er got it on his third run... I went 30 runs yesterday and got it on my 11th today so 41 runs in total!

Comentário de dlflyboy

I was camping Aeonaxx and then decided to try my luck on this mount. I got it on my first run on heroic. I couldn't believe it as I'm never that lucky. GL all!

Comentário de Raincloud

On a Monk it is like a 2 minute run. Then after the boss hit the portal and port out.
I did 140 runs and got it on run 140.

Comentário de Davin21

For anyone still trying for this mount, got it on my 411th try! Normal mode for all my runs so it is still dropping (even if unluckily for me) as of patch 8.3

Comentário de mattgains

Dropped for me on 8th kill ! Goodluck!

Comentário de gibblett06

I'm averaging about 1min40 per run on my fury warrior with the 2 charge talent and heroic leap. Utilize the little critter hatchlings in the area where Slabhide throws spikes down as you're running.

95 tries and still going!

Comentário de viikman84

i got this mount yesterday on timewalk run, im happy =D

Comentário de zeuzss

I'm sad to report after 11 or so years and over 840 attempts this elusive mount still has not dropped for me. I am Zeuzss of Tichondrius, if this mount will not drop for the God of Thunder or the Doctor of Cats that live in Hats, is there any hope that this friendly flying mount still drops in 2021?

Comentário de Hopebreaker

Got it on first attempt when Timewalking Dungeons were up.

Comentário de lunamoonraker

With the 0.7% drop rate here, that means a drop with 90% probability of approx. 328 kills, to give it some context. Accepting that it can always drop on the first attempt and 656 attempts for a 99% probability, because RNG is a fickle master.

Good luck!

Comentário de meowmura

Got it on my 104th attempt (was on normal) the farming was tedious but pays off in the end. GL all!

Comentário de mp96

9.1 patch here. Got it yesterday after about 150 runs (which took about 6-7 hours split in two sessions). Did it with 3 chars basically (Monk, Hunter and Rogue) which lets you run the dungeon without any break due to restrictions. Dont forget to put on some tabard (e.g. Undercity) for reputation.

Tips for Monk (WW): Take the talents Rushing Jadewind and Tiger's Lust. You can kind of sprint ~70% of the dungeon and kill all neccessary mobs. Most of the runs I could finish in under 1.5min (depending on your chi management to always have RJW up when needed).

Do not hesitate to take a break and look out for Aeonaxx (I didn't have luck, but you might have).

Good luck.

Comentário de Zuprue

I farmed this on my lvl 60 BM Hunter and wanted to see how fast I could get through a rotation before the instance lockout.

Running the talents Trailblazer, Born To Be Wild and Aspect of the Beast.
I would say Trailblazer was up 70% of the time. Aspect of the Beast increased my pathfinding buff on my cunning pet from 8% to 12%.

I was able to get through 10 normal runs in 16 minutes and 7 seconds while using Aspect of the Cheetah, Disengage and Soulshape (SL) on cooldown.

Hope this helps.

Comentário de Taalmisbruik

Got it today after 176 attempts.

Comentário de Goldfinch49

Been running this dungeon (only up to Slabhide) on all five of my toons recently - before, for a few months, it was only three of them since my other two weren't leveled enough, only got around to that recently. Finally last night it dropped after 115 attempts on my "lucky" character - I don't know why she's so lucky, and she's certainly not my main, but she's the one where I got Ashes and also both Warglaives of Azzinoth over the course of a few months so I'll take the wins where I can get them even though I feel like I never play her.

What I will say is... It's interesting how something with so low a drop percentage has dropped for me sooner than stuff with higher % rate... the irony of Warcraft I guess. Next, I hope, will be Onyxia.

Keep on keeping on, y'all - it will always drop eventually.

Comentário de Weensie72

Don't hate me. Ran this once...got the drake. True story.

Comentário de Gottsche

As a Windwalker Monk during Shadowlands, I am making this more fun by seeing just how ridiculously fast i can do one run.
At first, i could do one run in about 2 min. Then after about 40 runs, i said f@ck it to the rep and trash mobs and looting and just get it done.
Now, after 130 runs, i can do one run (enter, kill drake, exit) in just about 1 min and 15 seconds.
As windwalker, i have 2 chi torpedos that each reset after 20 seconds and 1 use of Flying Serpent Kick every 20 seconds. Also being Night Fae, i got the Soulshape speed thing. These combined with optimal timing of when to use them and also using the layout of the dungeon in creative ways, i finish 10 runs in just over 12 minutes. Hope i dont stay long enough to get it much lower, but if i do, i wanna get it below 1 min 10 seconds per run.

Comentário de Setokaiboosted

Just recently started grinding some mounts and I literally had this drop on my first ever run. I decided not to even finish the dungeon so I have the mount with no dungeon achievement lmao. Awesome looking mount I am so ecstatic!

Good luck hunting everybody!

Comentário de kinark

got it today while leveling an alt in lfd. 1st "attempt" bc obv i was not actively farming it. was a pleasant surprise. finally got all of the stone drakes.

Comentário de Lostsinclair

Came here to offer some hope for people suffering through the grind. Took me 263(I counted out with Relic Fragments) attempts but it DID finally drop on normal mode, don't give up it does exist.

Comentário de Amon66

I just got mine after 79 attempts GL to everyone dont give up

Comentário de Schism77

If you are doing this as a new player in Dragonflight FYI you cant run past the packs, you have to fight Millhouse Manastorm down the path. I ran this several times thinking it was bugged because the boss wouldn't come out and finally realized my error.

Comentário de Onkruid

it's easy to farm cause if you killed that boss leave the dungeon and switch difficulty from normal to heroic and back the dungeon resets and you can kill the boss again ;-)

Comentário de Clong

Just dropped in a Timewalking version of the dungeon. I was caught off-guard

Comentário de Mochaccino

I can't tell you how many times I ran this on normal mode because I didn't keep track. But, it was a lot. You might have to run this over and over to the point where you forget why you're doing it, and then bam! It pops!

Comentário de drcrab

Final Black Market price on EU Silvermoon as of 2024 was ~450k

Comentário de Silvansaria

I don't know how many times I have run this over the years just killing this boss... Someone said look at statistics (under the achs) - but it just lists end boss kills for a Dungeon or Raid unless I'm just not looking in the right place...? But I couldn't find the drake specifically. But one thing I am doing to alleviate the runs is:

#1: in between the lockouts I fly up and hang out waiting for Aeonaxx
#2: Battlegrounds

Make sure when you kill him you run to the portal. It takes you right back to entrance and you can immediately run out, reset and run back in. Makes the runs really really fast. Even faster if you have speed boosts.

I probably only have 100 g/t kills on him truthfully. I have read people are up in the 1000s and some are lucky to get it in 6 runs or something...
My RNG is never that good :/

But just keep trying - eventually it will drop :)

Comentário de Fuzen

I haven't noticed if it's mentioned here but if you attack or use a spell on the mobs that stand with "Millhouse Manastorm" while they are being pushed by "Corborus" it get you stuck in combat which you can't use the portal after "Slabhide" to return to the entrance.

So avoid your killing instinct with the last encounter with "Manastorm" :)

Comentário de FixManTx

It's on Silvermoon EU black market current bid at 105K gold. I don't have that much but good luck!

I got it after like 1200ish kills, with 200 of them being the past 2 days lol. So, the instance lock used to be account wide I thought but its realm wide now, and I have 3 high level toons on 3 different realms so I could go back-to-back without having to wait for any lock to go away. So, no down time.

Finally dropped after 286+ runs, can't tell you how many total, hope your luck is better than mine!

Comentário de Darksoul1719

Just got the mount on my 85th run! Prolly more runs than that, that weren't logged. Hopped from my mage to my rogue because I reached my lockout on my mage and dropped the very first run on my rogue. Good luck to all those farming this mount! :)

Dropped today on attempt 65 on normal difficulty, all on the same day. With a ww monk i could do avg runs of 1m50s.

What are the chances?

Currently, 1870 out of 238,034 which comes out to 0.799% rounded to 0.8%, which means the median is 1 in 125 chances. Half of people were luckier than that and half of people were less lucky than that. That's more or less like rolling a 125-sided die.

Statistically, the standard deviation of rolling a 125 sided die would be 36.
So that means 68% of people, the majority, will get this mount between attempts 89 and 161,
95% of people will get it between 53 and 197,
99% of people will get it between 17 and 233 attempts.

To put it a little more simply:

About .5% of people will get the mount before their 17th attempt.
About 2.5% of people will get it before their 53rd attempt.
About 16% of people will get it before their 89th attempt.
About 50% of people will get it before their 125th attempt.
About 84% of people will get it before their 161st attempt.
About 97.5% of people will get it before their 197th attempt.
About 99.5% of people will get it before their 233rd attempt.

So worst luck alive, How many runs could this take?

About 250. Beyond that would be an extreme outlier. Just about everyone should get it before then.

got it after 37 attempts with the buff. Farmed in one day

Comentário de Crowzer

I got the mount after 16 attempts with the Collector's Bounty buff. And since you can farm The Stonecore both in Normal and Heroic dungeon, it doubles the chances.

Comentário de Akanum

Finally got it after 13 tries during the Collector's Bounty event :D

Comentário de Makroner

Got it today 07.08.2025 after total of 23 kills

Comentário de kostet802

Dropped after 2 attempts during collector's bounty event

Comentário de Dyski

this was easy with only 3 attempts during collector's bounty event, i had previous attempts that was not counted but I'm sure they were not many

its on normal repeatable on same character, so just kill the second boss take the portal back to entrance, reset, rinse and repeat

Comentário de Lixton

Dropped on the last day of Collector's Bounty after 61 attempts (dropped on Normal)

Comentário de Drambejz

Drops from Cataclysm Timewalking dungeons BUT.. it never drops when you farm it. I started farming specific item for transmog from different timewalking dungeon that drops only in TW mode and look at that.. 15hours in and the drake popped in my bag while the item in question acts like it doesnt exist.
