Big thanks to Selbink-Area52, Sayerel-Area52, Jurvicious-WyrmestAccord and Trauk-Blackrock for helping find the spawn locations of all these mobs and massively cut down on skinning time by grouping up.

The Elusive mobs needed for this achieve can be spawned by using Elusive Creature Bait. In order to get the non-rare version of mobs to spawn you must have at least 20 knowledge spent in Mastery. If you go up to 40 then you'll be able to spawn rare mobs in certain specific locations as well so if you intend to drop bait in those spots for this achieve then you should wait to put in your 40th point but since you can spawn the non-rare versions in many locations there's no real reason to wait. If you need to know where the rare version spawn you can check the comment on Elusive Legend of the Dragon Isles.

As for which mobs spawn where, there seemed to be no real rhyme or reason to it. We expected the same rules as the rare mobs (placing a bait near a crystalspine would spawn an Elusive Crystalspine) but it seemed to pick any mob type native to that zone for the non-rare versions needed for this achieve. We got plenty of duplicates in the process and I can't give better advice then to just keep using bait and hope for good RNG. If you're close to having 15 and haven;t been to Zaralek I would try going there since there are 10 Elusive types native to Zaralek so your chances of getting one will be good.

Below I've included a list of the 15 we killed. It should be noted that these are not the only locations for these mobs to spawn, and other mobs can spawn in their places as well. Including coordinates just so people can try the areas that worked for us. Also keep in mind you only need 15, not all of them.

Do not use bait at the crossed out coordinates if you have 40 points in Mastery. Anywhere nearby (or anywhere in the zone) should be good enough to get these mobs to spawn, but if you drop bait at the bolded locations you'll get the rare version and waste a bait/put it on CD. Thanks to Bambiprsi for pointing that out. If you have between 20 and 39 knowledge in that trait you can drop the bait there without issue and can still copy the command normally.

You don't have to be the one to spawn the Elusive to get credit, but do need to be on a skinner. If you have friends working on these achieves I'd recommend grouping up since you can do multiple summons before having to skin if you do so.

I'd recommend if you have enough knowledge to spare you put 40 points in Bait Crafter as well at least 35 in Mastery to reduce the CD of the bait by 20 minutes each time you skin a mob. To reduce the CD we would do mass skinning after all our baits were on CD. Any mob that isn't the "baby version" of a mob type will give the CDR but those lesser mobs won't so you can skip them if you like. For efficient mass-skinning we used the WowProfs guides (credit to them) so use this link for Waking Shores and Thaldrazus and this link for Ohn'ahran and Azure Span.(##RESPBREAK##)396##DELIM##Buuloki##DELIM##

I found the best place to reset the timer of Elusive Creature Bait for the achievement within up to 6 minutes is in the Ohn'Ahran Plains at /way 52.67, 49.68.
Just kill the Thunder Lizards all the way around the small hill. Once you made it back to the point of your arrival the ones there will have re spawned.

Comment by Niixten

I'm glad we only need 15 for Elusive Beasts of the Dragon Isles and not all of them because this achievement was a real pain to do. I can recommend doing most of them in Zaralek Cavern.

Comment by Hamen

The Blazing Proto-Dragon at 78.67, 27.17 in Ohn'ahran Plains is a great spot for the cooldown reduction if you have 40/40 Bait Crafter, which gives elites/rares double cdr.

Near-instant respawn, npc helpers, elite bonus, and with 440+ ilvl you practically can't die. It's the best spot if you're like me and prefer stationary farms.

Hope this helps.

Comment by kirin7

So many comments about where to reset and not enough on where to get what. Best suggestion I can give after doing it for a few hours yesterday is this - go to different sub-zones in every Dragon Isles zone for the best chance at different types of beasts. Magmoths and Phoenixes seem to to be a bit higher around the Obsidian Citadel etc etc. Don't be set on doing only one zone or only one subzone unless u wanna spend unnecessary hours in getting good RNG!

Comment by hotcore

Easy mode for this achievement

Get skinning to 100
Profession knowledge, 40 points in Mastery and 40 points in Bait Crafter.
Craft 30 Bait Crafters.
Every DF zone (except Emerald dream) has rare spawns that count towards achievement that are summoned using the bait crafter.
Bait crafter has a 12 hour cooldown but lowers when you skin mobs.
I recommend using bait crafter in each DF zone 3 times and hope you get one you don't have.
They should all be soloable on any character above 400 item level.
I recommend doing this in a group as you can share the bait crafter cooldowns and make this achievement faster.
Ohn'ahran Plains is the best zone for skinning to decrease your bait crafter cooldown.
I wouldn't follow the coordinates on the other comments as the rares are random.
You can use the bait crafter in most areas in all the zones. Simply run around using the item until it works. You cannot use near towns and be used in the same area for a while.

Comment by podnov

A super easy way to reset your bait cooldown while 10.2 is current is to go do a superbloom in a raid group. There are enough Feral Umbraclaw killed during the event that you can skin to completely reset your CD (~36 minute reduction per mob).

Comment by desulol123

Is anyone else having a problem with this not working? I've summoned, killed and skinned Elusive Salamanther, Elusive Stoneclaw and some others and none of them appear to be tracked in the achievement as finished?
