Shan'ze Ritual Stones Drop Limit
Just to clarify on drop chances for ritual stones and keys, you can only obtain one Key to the Palace of Lei Shen (aka treasure room) from any creature on the island, including the Isle of Thunder Rare Elites. Once you’ve already looted one off of a creature, no more will drop from creatures for your character that week. Additional keys can potentially drop from other select sources, but are extremely rare and not something you can try to farm.

Similarly, you can only obtain one Shan'ze Ritual Stone from an Isle of Thunder Rare Elite per week. You'll still be able to collect more from other sources, though.

Isle of Thunder, Summoned Elite Abilities

Spirit of Warlord Teng

Spirit Slash
Spirit Slash

Draining Spirit
Drain Spirit

Restless Spirit
Buried Alive!

Warlord Teng's main attack is a frontal aoe every 20 seconds, which hits for around 200000 shadow damage.
This attack has a three second cast making it easy to avoid, however it leaves behind a large aoe for 1 minute which also does significant shadow damage.
Every 20 seconds Teng will activate a Mogu Sarcophagus around the walls of the room. This will cause a spirit to spawn and target you with Drain Spirit for 5 seconds. If this channel completes you will be sucked into the Mogu Sarcophagus and take 180000 nature damage over 10 seconds. The channel can be broken by line of sight, causing a small spirit wrath aoe to spawn.

Kor'dok

Kor'dok:
Furious Charge
Furious Charge
Call Thunder
Call Thunder

Battle Rage

Tinzo:
Disrupt
Disrupt
Fire Burst
Flame Barrage

You start the fight against Kor'dok alone, and won't have to deal with Tinoz until later.
Every 12 seconds Kor'dok will use Furious Charge on a random target slowing their movement speed by 35%, and attempt to follow up with a small conal attack which damages and stuns.
At 50% he will stun you with Battle Rage and summon Tinzo into the fight, who appears at the Ritual Stone with 50% hp.
From here you will have to deal with both targets until Kor'dok dies, at which point Tinzo will despawn.
When Tinzo appears he will cast Disrupt on nearby targets, causing all healing to be redirected to himself. This is dispellable.
While active he will chain cast Fire Burst on his target, pausing only to channel Flame Barrage.

Echo of Kros

Ghost Dinosaur Stampede

Ghastly Roar

Devour

Rage of Kros

During your fight with Echo of Kros, he will call stampedes of spirit dinosaurs to run around underneath him.
If any of these spirits run through you, they deal 25,000 nature damage and pacify you for 5 seconds, leaving you unable to attack or cast spells.
During this stampede Kros will cast Ghastly Roar, fearing everyone in combat for 3 seconds. Therefore it is ideal to have a ranged dps, or a great dino-dodging melee to interrupt the fear.
Every 50 seconds throughout the fight, a Skumblade Scavenger will appear next to the Ritual Stone. At this point Kros will break off his attacks and attempt to eat the Saurok, restoring 20% of his health unless you kill the Saurok before he reaches it. Once you kill the Saurok you will have to deal with Kros' short enrage, which is dispellable.
You can tank Kros away from the altar to give you time to kill the Saurok.

Electromancer Ju'le

Chain Lightning

Electrified

Lightning Field

Lightning Elemental 81k hp
Static Electricity

While fighting Ju'le you may have to use the nearby Lightning Rod, so unlike many other elites you will have to remain near his spawn.
Ju'le's main attack, Chain Lightning, needs to be interrupted whenever possible.
Each time Ju'le successfully casts Chain Lightning, anyone hit by it will gain a stack of Electrified causing 10000 nature damage per second.

If any of your group get too many stacks of this debuff to be healable, they will have to remove it by using the Lightning Rod. While this removes the debuff, it also causes a Lightning Elemental to spawn and attack you.
Each Lightning Elemental melee's for around 20000 nature damage, and each additional elemental that spawns increases the damage of all other elementals by 20%.

Qi'nor

Lightning Bolt

Lightning Prod

Lightning Strike

Casts Lightning Bolt on his target for around 60k damage, and summons 3 Saurok at a time from the nearby cave to attack you.

He will cast Lightning Prod at the Saurok, damaging them, but empowering them to do more melee damage. At this point you need to slow them and kite them to prevent the lightning chaining to you, and to avoiding high additional damage from the empowered Saurok.

Ancient Mogu Guardian

Mantle of the Thunder King
Mantle of the Thunder King

Floor tiles:
Nullify Magic - Cloud
Ancient Flames - Fire
Mogu Power - Lightning

Once engaged, the Ancient Mogu Guardian will buff himself with Mantle of the Thunder King, causing him to deal aoe nature damage and debuff players making them take 20% increased nature damage.
Cloud / Air tiles on the floor cast Nullify Magic when someone stands on them, this removes all buffs from anyone on the tile. When the Guardian gains Mantle, take him to a cloud tile and make him walk over it to remove the buff. After 30 seconds the Guardian will re-cast Mantle of the Thunder King, forcing you to move to a new cloud tile and wipe his buff again.
Dispelling the Guardians buff is simple enough, however when you use the ritual stone only 8 air tiles will spawn with him, and each cloud tile is consumed when used to dispel the Guardian. This results in a four minute soft enrage.
Use the other tiles to kill him before you run out of dispels.

Windweaver Akil'amon

Impending Gust

Lift Off

Soaring Eagle
Plucked
Plucked

During the encounter Akil'amon will cast Impending Gust in an aoe every 25 seconds. This effect heavily slows the movement speed of any players caught in the winds, and if you fail to move away, the Gust will deal large amounts of nature damage and boost you up in the air, causing you to take extra fall damage when you land.
His second attack is to cast Lift Off and summon a Soaring Eagle into the fight to attack a player. Once the eagle arrives it will pick the player up, and lift them in the air, dealing 4% of their health in damage every second until you kill it. Once killed you will be released, and again fall to the ground taking additional damage.

Cera

Double-Edge Thrash

Charge

Charge Impact

Reflective Armor Plating

The Direhorn Cera is loosely modeled on the ToT boss Horridon and shares the same main abilities.
The most significant of these being Double Edged Thrash. This is a conal aoe both in front of and behind Cera hitting for around 100k per second to anyone caught in it.
During the fight Cera will also pick a random party member to charge at, dealing moderate damage to her target and anyone nearby if she lands on them, though with a 3 second cast this is rather easy to avoid.
Her only unique ability is the use of Reflective Armor Plating, which despite the name deflects all incoming damage from the front for 5 seconds, rather then reflecting it.

Incomplete Drakkari Colossus

Death Stare

Ground Slam

Shockwave

Flamethrower
Flamethrower

This is the top half of a Drakkari Colossus that remains stationary on the nearby altar.
Once engaged the Colossus continually tries to attack a target in melee. If at any time there are no available targets in range, it will begin casting Death Stare at its current highest threat, causing massive damage.
As long as there is at least one player in melee range, it will continue it's basic melee attacks in combination with it's other 3 main abilities.
Ranged can stand to the sides of the altar to avoid all his attacks.

Comment by LEKB

Great guide plenty of information and I really like the lots of neat items blizz has added into the game for MoP. Also wondering why none of the rare mobs in krasarang wilds don't drop any of the specific items (e.g. Seed of Tranquil Growth ) that all the other mobs seem to drop.

Comment by 626994

I am quite curious of those two epic bags. What exactly makes them epic ? Hope they will be "worthy" of it.

Comment by Tarumuat

Amazing guide, Lore. I have bookmarked it, so I can hunt down them in downtime after MoP hits live :D Thank you very much.

Comment by 543083

Nice compilation of information. Its readability needs improvement, though, which is why I rated 4 out of 5 stars.

Comment by 833380

Lore, you are amazing. Thank you so much for this guide!

My only suggestion is to add hyperlinks to the Wowhead pages for each of the rare mobs, so that it's easier to get the NPC ID for npcscan.

Comment by 644828

And another rare guide added to my favorites list. Any idea what rares could be tamed by hunters yet?

Comment by Ospreyfalcon

Where could we find a mantid in Jade Forest...

On another note, all the loot from the Jade Forest rares includes an epic weapon, and blue legs, plus the bag. The epic is ilvl 420 whereas the legs are ilvl 400.

Comment by jcwoodring

With this new build, all loot has changed, so all bets are off.

Comment by 833380

I can confirm that there have been some changes with how rares work in the most recent patch.

For one thing, Krasarang rares are starting to get unique loot. Torik-Ethis dropped a pair of BoE ilevel 440 pants called "Torik-Ethis' Bloodied Legguards." My guess is that just as the Jade Forest drops weapons, this zone will drop armor.

http://i.imgur.com/sCVFQ.jpg

Not all rares drop epic armor, though. Both Courinth Waterstrider and Ruun Ghostpaw still dropped the typical blue armor.

http://i.imgur.com/kvRTw.jpg
http://i.imgur.com/UuM0q.jpg

Ruun Ghostpaw now resides on the top floor of the Temple of the Red Crane, instead of in the center of the ground level. Other rares may have been moved as well; it's hard to know if I'm not finding many because others have killed them or because they have been moved somewhere else.

http://i.imgur.com/eSvCc.jpg

As you may have noticed from the above screenshots, most rares no longer drop those green Small Bag of Goods. They're openable, though. I opened a few of the ones I have stockpiled up and all of them said "There is no loot" but on the item's page somebody mentioned finding some crafting materials, so I don't know what to make of it.

On a related note, Townlong Steppes just got much more boring. It appears that rares no longer drop bags, nor any other unique loot. I had all eight bags stockpiled in my bank from when I got Glorious pre-patch, and while all of them are openable now, none have any loot.

All in all it seems like they have a ways to go regarding rare loot. In a perfect world every rare would drop a little trinket like the ones from Valley, Kun-Lai, Dread Wastes, and Vale, but that would understandably be a bit much. I just hope they do something about the rares that still drop nothing but a weak blue.

EDIT: Just killed Krax'ik in the Jade Forest and received no epic D: Maybe epics are just a low chance now, or maybe they just removed it entirely.

EDIT #2: I just deleted my Kang's Bindstone (it's unique) and killed Kang once again to see if he still drops it. Short answer: He doesn't. Long answer: Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo my bindstone! I guess they removed fun things from rare loot tables?

Kah'tir was found in Townlong Steppes at 62, 35 in the little camp at the west end of the wall.

Comment by rbernet

When were these drops implemented? I've killed 5 of these rare spawns and they did not drop any of these. I got 4 blue plate pieces and one blue cloth piece.

This is a really nice guide. I noticed that the beginning of your guide has a gigantic link to a MoP database version of your guide, but you can get rid of that ugly thing (if you want) by adding \ anywhere in your guide.

I know the database will be moving to a "live" version very soon so this is entirely optional, but I thought it would be nice to know so that people can have instant access to tooltips and such.

Edit: May I request that you link each NPC in the large table of each individual rare? I only ask this because certain NPCs will have a rather high difficulty level depending on your gear, spec and class and the NPC's level.

For the Makrura Elite:

The map has Damlak and Kishak swapped. When you kill your first one you will get Troubles from Without that tells you about the others and where to find them.

Abilities:

Akkalou - heals herself with Healing Rain, Rejuv, and Healing Touch
Akkalar - Uses Frost Armor, Earthshield, PW:Shield, and has a CD that reduces damage by 25%
Damlak - Casts multiple shadow based spells, ex: shadowbolt, Curse of Doom, Curse of Agony.
Clamstok - Casts Slam and his melee attack hits for 15-20k on mail.
Odd'nirok - Chain casts Waterbolt, does ~30k frost damage.
Kishak - Uses Blessing of Kings, Bloodlust.

Tactics:

Akkalou - Interrupt HT and move out of the Healing Rain
Akkalar - Use your hardest hitting spells and CDs as needed to out damage his heal from Earthshield
Damlak - Subject to school lockouts, so interrupt the first spell you can and keep him interrupted
Clamstok - Kite him.
Odd'nirok - Interrupt his cast when you can, but he is immune to lockouts, so it is a dps race.
Kishak - Another dps race, dispel his bloodlust if you can, dispelling BoK is pointless it is automatically reapplied.

For Clawlord Kril'mandar if you bring a friend you should be able to just burst him down. He drops Lobstmourne which is currently able to be used in either hand (even though the wowhead viewer shows it as bugged, it works properly in game).

Comment by Whiterock

]Moldo One-Eye <--- small typo there.

Was going to ask for, but I see you are already on plan to add their normal blues aswell, I gues they all should be in line of the ID, at least Jade Forest ones are all from 87586 to 87594.

And I gues it would be good to ask Wowhead staff to set tab on those rares and items to this guide, if it's possable :D

Comment by Whiterock

Ferdinand from Jade Forest is indeed drops Ook-Breaker Mace.
Never seen myself him drop shield, but he dropped mace for me just now. Sadpanda I killed him on rogue and not dk :<

Comment by Whiterock

Krasarang Wilds:

Qu'nas' Apocryphal Legplates dropped from Qu'nas

We may assume then that:

Torik-Ethis' Bloodied Legguards drops from Torik-Ethis
Go-Kan's Golden Trousers drops from Go-Kan
Silent Leggings of the Ghostpaw drops from Ruun Ghostpaw(in Wowhead database already)
Cournith Waterstrider's Silken Finery drops from Cournith Waterstrider(in Wowhead database already)
Torik-Ethis' Gilded Legplates drops from Torik-Ethis(seems like he drop 2 epics)
Arness's Scaled Leggings drops from Arness the Scale(in Wowhead database already)
Spriggin's Sproggin' Leggin' drops from Spriggin(in Wowhead database already)
Gaarn's Leggings of Infestation drops from Gaarn the Toxic(in Wowhead database already)

P.S. Convert that raremob table into tabs per each zone already :P
Plus into "rare elite by class" you may add links to all representatives of each tab's class.

This guide is amazing, though it would be nice to have some links to the additional Elites.

Comment by 1037632

the rare mob . gaarn the toxic drops an epic BoE called: Gaarn legging´s of infestation a ilvl 440 cloth healer pants. might want to update it in ur item list :)

Comment by Cakechart

Very helpful guide. The map is missing Sulik'Shor in Valley of the Four Winds, though.

Comment by Chibchub123

Alright, so I am currently working on this achievement, quite successfully. By far, this has been the easiest rare spawn farm. Unfortunately, I fear this achievement may be WAY too easy. On this day, (10/2/12) I've found the following rare spawns TWICE between 11:30 PM (PST) and 2:21 AM (PST) (10/3/12) Either as corpses, some personally killed twice. Karr the Darkener, Bonobos, Nalash Verdantis, Spriggin, Yul Wildpaw, Dak the Breaker, Krol the Blade, Salyin Waterscout, and Gaarn the Toxic. That's correct, in less than 3 hours... Those rares ALL spawned TWICE. Server: Aggramar, no maintenance... no reset.

Comment by Sharkon

An important note regarding the abilities that are recommended to be stunned: stunning the mob during the cast time will only delay the cast. As soon as the stun wears off, they will just cast it again. You need to wait until the mob begins the channeled portion of the spell to stun them in order to stop the ability completely.

Comment by RabbleRouser

Just a note for people wondering, like I did, prior to reaching Glorious!: any rares killed along the way will be counted and credited automatically when you complete Could We Find More Like That? and move on to Glorious!

Comment by 54693

Fun fact: All three of the achievement names are quotes from Diablo 3's Templar follower (specifically, it's things he can say after you kill an elite mob with him).

Comment by Invaki

Lore, this is an amazing guide. I have only one thing to add. You seem to have forgotten to include Sulik'shor's spawn point! He spawns in the Valley of the Four Winds at 37.0, 25.6. I'm sure adding him in would help a few rare hunters!
Cheers on a great guide!

Comment by Jaladar

I only wish that Glorious! worked across all characters, so that if one character kills a rare mob it would count towards the achievement for all, rather than having to do them all on one character.

And yes, awesome guide!

I've been soloing the rares in townlong stepps on my fury warrior every day and the last 2 days the blue big bags hasn't drop at all at the rate it used to. Killed about 20+ rares i would say in the zone and only 1 enchanting big bag dropped.
I think they are still dropping but at a very low %, All im getting now are mainly blue necks

Comment by solitha

If I may make a request for this excellent guide...

I'm currently working on Could We Find More Like That? I'm trying to find a list that correlates champions of specific races with their locations.

Unfortunately, all I can find are champions by location, or champions by race - no easy way to cross-reference.

Comment by JSkates

Just wanted to say thank you for this awesome guide! it has helped me so much getting a ton of the cool vanity items.

I know he is not a part of Glorious, but if people want the B. F. F. Necklace, enter the cave that Yul Wildpaw stands outside of in Townlong. Fight your way to the back of the cave and take the ramp up towards the end. A Neutral mob named Huggalon the Heart Watcher will be here. He has roughly 4 million HP but isn't a very hard fight. Duo'd with a Destro Lock and Ele Shaman, and I'm pretty sure either one of us could have soloed him.

Comment by Ravij

It seems that some rares in a single zone share a specific type of item as their special loot.

Jade Forest - Weapons.
Krasarang Wilds - Leggings.
Townlong Steppes - Bags of Items.
Valley of Four Winds - Items and Trinkets that benefit you in battle.
Vale - A bunch of vanity and fun items.

While other zones share an assortment:

Kun-Lai Summit - An assortment of vanity items, vanity trinkets, reputation increase, ect.
Dread Wastes - Mostly items only useable in Pandaria; among vanity items and other things.

Comment by 317522

After farming rares for a few weeks now I've noticed the following pattern:

6 of the 8 rares in a zone all spawn at the same time, which 6 spawn is random.
Each zone is on its own timer, but all the rares in a given zone are on the same timer.
If a rare isn't one of the 6 picked randomly, it won't have a chance to spawn until the next wave of 6.

Anyone else's observations agree or disagree with this?

Comment by Celellach

Great guide!

2 more elites (not part of "Glorious!") to add:
Lorbu Sadsummon also drops Cracked Talisman
Sungraze Behemoth drops Oddly-Shaped Horn

Edit:
Wild Onyx Serpent now drops Serpent's Cache

Comment by Saldar

-This information has NOT been disproved (10/24/2012)

All rares in a zone spawn at the same time.
All rares have a 1 hour respawn time (+/- 30? minutes)
The respawn time (1 hour) for ALL of the rares does not start until every rare in the zone is killed.
Between 1 and 2 rares in a zone can will occasionally skip a spawn cycle and will not spawn with the rest of the rares in the zone.

(There are possible exceptions to this (such as if a specific rare has been up for a long time and all others have been dead for a bit) but I haven't had the time or environment to test it yet. Public feedback highly encouraged on this point)

(Full guide to MoP Rares)

Spawning Example:
If you have six rares in a zone (Rare A, Rare B, Rare C, Rare D, Rare E, and Rare F) none of them will respawn until they are all killed and they will respawn 1 hour after the last one is killed.

This is why it APPEARS that they individually have a 1-2 hour respawn time but some people report that it can take up to three or even four hours.

So:

Rare A killed at 10:00am
Rare B killed at 10:01am
Rare C killed at 10:05am
Rare D killed at 10:06am
Rare E killed at 10:20am
Rare F killed at 10:45am

They will all respawn at approximately 11:45am. Now there easily could be a +/- 30 minute factor in the code. Blizzard usually adds some form of RNG to this type of spawning so it wouldn't surpise me if there was such a mechanic in this as well. Best advice that I can give anyone camping Sulik is to go around the zone and make sure all the other rares are killed quickly once he spawns so that his spawn will reset asap.

If you have information relating to spawn times with regard to killing and not killing other rares in the zone please respond so that we can refine this post.

Comment by TemporalAnarchy

I've been trying to figure out the spawn pattern of rarespawns by myself for the past week and a half. It never occurred to me to check here for the findings of others. Based on my own theories and findings, as well as those here, I can come to certain conclusions:

Rarespawns spawn in ZONE WIDE waves.
Between FIVE and EIGHT rarespawns can spawn in EACH wave (a rarespawn skipping a wave is what results in a seemingly longer spawn timer).
The timer for respawn begins not when the first rarespawn is killed, but the last (check your zones, people, if you're hunting specific ones).
There is, as is typical with Blizzard, a small RNG component to the respawn timer. So far it seems to be a minimum of FIFTY MINUTES.

Before posting my findings, I ran one final test. It was as follows:
Empty night in Townlong Steppes, and I manage to kill seven of the eight rarespawns in the zone, while noticing that the eighth is also up. I leave the last one (Norlaxx) up for FOURTY minutes beyond the time the first (Lon the Bull) was killed. After killing Norlaxx, I was pretty confident in the theory and took off to Kun'lai to hunt rares there (where people had neglected to kill Ahone, Nessos, Ski'thik, and Norlaxx the Outcast). After clearing them out, I returned to Lon's spawn point and hopped between his and Kah'tir's spawns until sixty one minutes had elapsed from the time Norlaxx died, at which point EVERY rare in the zone respawned.

After clearing those out, I went back to Kun'lai and found that the rarespawns there had repopped; 50 minutes after my last kill. All rarespawns were up except for Nessos the Oracle. I followed that up with Jade Forest, where I found five of the eight possible there. I killed time in other zones, making it back to Townlong at the 52 minute mark, where Lon the Bull (and his seven friends!) had already respawned.

Now, this doesn't confirm the five to eight spawn, but I also don't believe Townlong Steppes follows that same pattern due to the nature of the rare drops from the rare mobs in that zone (they're pretty much always useful, whereas the vanity items are unique). That's something that will warrant further testing, which I'll work on whenever I can find the zones empty enough again.

Heya,

Thanks for this guide it's fantastic!

I have another elite to add to your Additional Elites section.

NPC: Sungraze Behemoth found at 27.6,59.6 between Jade Forest and Valley of the Four Winds

Drops: Oddly-Shaped Horn

Similar to Bag of Kafa Beans and Tuft of Yak Fur from Zhing and Pensong

Thanks again for the awesome guide

Comment by Saphir

Your work is amazing, thank you so much.

Btw, you wrote "Panderan" instead of "Pandaren" several time. But even with this, the guide is still amazing! Thanks again! ;)

Comment by johankj

If you use add-ons NPCscan and want to delete creaturecache.wdb files without to go into folder every time to delete this you can easy make a .bat files on your desktop or any place you want.

open notepad and write this:
del "E:\WoW\World of Warcraft\Cache\WDB\enGB\creaturecache.wdb"

and then save files as creaturecache.bat

(( note, you need to write exactly where your WoW folder is ))
Worked fine for me, i use this every time before i start up WoW game.

Comment by Zaalbeth

Great guide!

In going through the list of champions, I've made a number of observations:

All champion loot seems to be unique - found nowhere else in the game. (though I haven't checked absolutely every item :P)
Zone determines the champion's level - ascending 85-91 in the order
Jade Forest (85)
Four Winds (86)
Krasarang Wilds (87)
Kun-Lai Summit (88)
Townlong Steppes (89)
Dread Wastes (90)
Eternal Blossoms (91)

Only Lon the Bull bucks the trend by being 88 in Townlong Steppes.
Zone determines the type of special drop each champion has:

Jade Forest = epic weapons
Four Winds = trinkets/items with on-use effects
Krasarang = epic leg armor
Kun-Lai Summit = trinkets/items with on-use effects (and Forager's Gloves)
Townlong Steppes = 'Big Bag's
Dread Wastes = trinkets/items with on-use effects
Eternal Blossoms = trinkets/items with on-use effects

The standard rare items dropped by champions are also determined by zone, and all champions in that zone drop from the same loot table. Also, all rares are armor items. The slots are:
Jade Forest = Leg (400)
Four Winds = hands (410)
Krasarang Wilds = head (420)
Kun-Lai Summit = wrist (430)
Townlong Steppes = neck (440)
Dread Wastes = chest (440/450)
Eternal Blossoms = back (440).
There are 8 types of champion - one of each in each zone - for 7 examples of each type. This makes a total of 56 champions to defeat (and loot).

A couple of errors: ~~Cournith Waterstrider seems to be missing from your big loot list~~ (now fixed); and Torik-Ethis' Gilded Legplates doesn't seem to drop from Torik-Ethis, but rather from the Big Bags dropped by Norlaxx and Kah'tir (see page). Also, it might be nice to turn the names of the other 'rare elites' into links as well, to make them easier to search. Finally, none of the champions (those involved in the achievements) are actually elite - just rares.

One more for the "Additional Elites" - Scotty Level 89 Elite in Townlong Steppes drops Scotty's Lucky Coin.

Comment by 1055455

A little anecdotal evidence to support Saldar's theory of the shared re-spawn.

I was camping Sulik'shor today on my very very very low population realm (/who'd 2 other people in the zone). I had read the theory about the shared respawns and thought it might be a good time to test it. I did a circuit around the zone twice and checked all the spawns in the valley. None of the rares were up, so I went back to floating over Sulik.

After he spawned and I killed him I did another circuit of the zone, and all of them had spawned.

i.imgur.com/Bw6pM.jpg

Obviously this is very difficult to prove, but for the valley at least, I'm starting to think he is right.

Comment by aynessa

This is a truly fantastic guide, and has helped me figure out a rare spawn "shopping list" for the items I want most. Thank you!

However, you are missing Gokk'lok (27.4, 16.2 in Dread Wastes) from the list of non-rares that give vanity items. Might want to include him, as he "drops" a quest that will give you Gokk'lok's Shell.

Ok. I am sure I'm not the first person to say this, but here goes:

"A worthy opponent!"

"Ah! Glorious!"

"Can we find more like that?"

Awesome guide! Thank you for taking the time to make this, it's very helpful.

I like that you added the additional elites, I collect goofy items and enjoy the hunt!
I'm not sure if these count, but there are also two non-elite rares in Valley of the Four Winds (which do not count towards the Glorious! achievement, but their items count towards the Lost and Found achievement).

The link to bonobos is broken (for me). The correct link would be Bonobos while you put http://www.wowhead.com/npc=http://www.wowhead.com/npc=50828. Common mistake :P

On the flip side, this guide is great as i've been hunting the elites like crazy. Thanks!

If bugged, slowly kill with Hunter's Explosive Trap.
Confirmed.

This is one of the most epic and helpful guide there is on Wowhead. And I can tell you know your stuff.

Is there a typo here?

The Warscouts are mounted on Direhorns and will remain fixed at their spawn point.
The Warscouts however will start to move off on long specific patrols once they spawn. These patrol routes can take them anywhere up to a mile from their original spawn position.

fixed!

Seems a tad confusing to me.

Very nice guide, thx much.

Comment by 1091148

Does anyone else get enjoyment of watching a rare being killed by the opposing faction, say for example.. Scritch, and seeing them wipe, and being able to go in there right after and clean up the kill.

I love this guide, and even tho I know where, pretty much all the rares spawn, I still find myself referring back to it to see maybe what a rare I'm about to kill could yield, or just to remind myself exactly where that elusive rare could actually be.

Thank you for all the effort you have put into this guide!

Comment by Thoraliss

Very well written and easy to follow. Good job!

Comment by perculia

This is amazing! Thank you so much for always updating this and for investigating everything on the 5.2 PTR!

Edit: You may want to point out that some 5.2 rares aren't accessible until you've completed certain Isle of Thunder stages.

~~Edit the second: There are several ilvl 476 weapons with cool transmog models that share names with many of the summonable elites. Maybe worth mentioning to see if they turn out to be a very low drop.~~ Now confirmed on several NPC pages that they drop their themed epic loot.(##RESPBREAK##)2##DELIM##perculia##DELIM##

Comment by Monstaah

i've found using /cast !Eagle Eye on the hill with Progenitus excellent for scouting Haywire, Skyclaw, Ra'sha, Mumta and Goda.. one big advantage of this in regards to the first 3 is you should be able to make the leap in saurok form without taking damage, i am just guessing tho as i tend to use my chute..

Goda can be a bit tricky to find but once you do this makes life a lot easier.. i've had no luck seeing Al'tabim, so if anyone with a decent pc can verify if you can view that far would be awsome..

Comment by Mebbekew

Couple more rare spawns that aren't under any achievement:
Booms on the ship in southern Krasarang drops a Small bag of goods 100% (Not classified as a rare but has a long spawn time.)
Willy Wilder rare which spawns on the veiled stair and drops a brawers invite 100%.

Comment by perculia

Great job getting the 5.4 NPCs in, we should have all the rare spawn NPC data processed this week.

Few more to include:

Rock Moss, Cavern of Lost Spirits
Golganarr, elemental close to Bufo
Cranegnasher--tiger that spawns to the east of Pi'jiu Village, by the mauled crane.

There are a few more rare events--the Gleaming Crane Statue is by Cinderfall, A Bone Apart is in the Cavern of Lost Spirits, and Blackguard's Forgotten Cave is between the Alliance and Horde bases.(##RESPBREAK##)2##DELIM##perculia##DELIM##

This list seems to miss something, there is a Blizzard Stone normally

Thank you for this very helpful guide.

Comment by perculia

I noticed a minor issue with the map pins for 5.4 elites that have multiple locations. It seems that different IDs are used for locations, which isn't the case. For example, clicking on one of the pins intended for Monstrous Spineclaw (73166) took me instead to Huolon (73167). This affects both the map with all elite pins, and the two maps under the toggle that split things up more. Thanks again for your awesome guide!

According to Simca's guide, some of the chest respawn daily, specifically,

There are 2 weekly ones,

Weekly

/way 22.6, 58.8 Underwater entrance west
/way 40.4, 93 Needs key

First of all: awesome guide. Very helpful while I was putting together a wishlist.

However, Spirit of Jadefire is missing the Jadefire Spirit pet as a drop. :)

Comment by Ablanco

Awesome Guide! Thanks alot! :D

Comment by 1218137

Do you have to be level 90 to open the Timeless Isle Chests? Or do you need a special item or quest? I can't open the 6 weekly respawning chest with my lvl 87 Undead Mage.

Comment by Sinergy666

Why are you calling every rare "rare elite"? Because they're not.

Comment by Kalka

Thank you so much. This Guide is perfect and my Sunday begin :D

Comment by Hairband

What makes you so sure that the spawnpoint of Ironfur Steelhorn is the same as ONLY the Ironfur Bulls? The link you posted to that rare mob is full of argument and disagreement on that issue. If you would please cite to a source. It's important to know that an NPC spawns another. If THREE NPC's spawn one, this would differ greatly from what you said. And some have said that it's purely random.

Comment by 1320626

Awesome guide! This Site is all I need for everything wow related Thank you!

Comment by Celellach

The Vale of Eternal Blossoms is missing the mobs once part of One Many Army which are now classified as rares and drop Treasures of the Vale, Aged Balsamic Vinegar, Aged Mogu'shan Cheese, Ancient Pandaren Spices.

Also, the location of Sahn Tidehunter has been changed.

hey, new to wowhead.. so this is probably a stupid question, but can you download these guides and use them as addons? if so, how do i go about doing that

Comment by Funnypiggy

wow nice panda guide of all rares i got most of them but not on timeless or thunder yet so i keep reading thisguide it is very useful :)

Comment by Shmuppy

What a fantastic guide! The section on how to obtain Lobstmourne helped out immensely!

Comment by Knightmare1919

Took me close to an hour to find him even with the coords 21.78, 46.37. To get to him you have to go behind the building, by the roots of the giant tree. Entrance is at 21.37, 46.81. He spawns in the tiny hut there.

Very nice guide, tyvm!

Comment by Taraezor

To avoid the nonesense of copy pasta coordinates for all manner of Pandaria achievements, I made an AddOn which has them all AND it auto removes the map pins upon completion. Easy as! Exploration Achievements Pandaria.

Comment by EulogyNB

Just wanted to say thanks for updating this to include MoP-Classic links as well; small detail, but helps a ton given how readily old guides get linked from the cached portal content.
