Thunderous Fragment is part of a secret quest to obtain Thrayir, Eyes of the Siren

Thrayir, Eyes of the Siren is a secret mount obtained at the isle of Siren, added in patch 11.0.7

Video Guide: https://youtu.be/Vlrwpc4oDTE

She is lying unconcious in the Forgotten vault, surrounded by 5 runestones: Whirling, Cyclonic, Turbulent, Torrential & Thunderous.

/way 50.31, 15.36 Singing Crystal (Teleporter to Forgotten Vault)
/way 72.70, 61.32 Thrayir

To bring her back to life & obtain her as a mount, you have to collect 5 runekeys, 1 for each rune stone.

Whirling Runekey - Drops from KSVIR the forgotten. This rare can be found in the forbidden vault during the storm.

How to enter a storm: Complete the weekly activity quest for Siren Isle Serpent's Wrath by doing WQ's, events & killing mobs. Once complete you can enter and exit the storm by talking to Suzie Boltwrench
/way 68.99, 49.14 Suzie Boltwrench

Torrential Runekey - Drops from ANY mob in a storm.
Best spot is the skeletons on the shore just outside the forgotten vault cave, as they hyperspawn. Got mine in about 5 minutes of solofarming.
/way 41.92, 25.78 Shore with skeletons

Thunderous Runekey
For this runekey you’ll need to assemble five Thunderous Fragment. The fragments drop from treasures and chests both inside and outside of the storm. So there is two ways to go about it. First is the big chests that are spread around the zone, sometimes your character will emit a wind, that guides you to these chests and you’ll make em appear with an extra action button. These chests can be found both inside and outside the storm. The other way is by farming seafarer’s caches. To unlock seafarer’s caches, you have to had completed the quest Dipping a Toe, given by Apprentice Tanmar, after completing a few of the introductory quests at the island, so if you’ve done most quests you should’ve completed it already. Anyway, completing it will give you Blessing of the Seadweller, allowing you to walk on the seafloor and find treasure. In general just exploring underwater. And this is where you find the seafarer’s caches, so circle the island underwater to search for caches. Theres quite a lot more seafarer’s caches than normal treasures, so this i what i recommend if you want to farm it as fast as you can. But you can definitely also just pick up treasures that you come across as you do other content in the zone. The caches only appear outside of the storm. And the dropchance for the fragments seem to be around 5% from Seafarers caches and 20% from regular treasure, but ofc RNG be RNG, and this is just my assumption from what i experienced.
When you have all 5 Thunderous Fragment, click them to combine into the Thunderous Runekey

Cyclonic Runekey - Drops from Zek'ul the Shipbreaker located in the storm
/way 33.18, 73.62

Turbulent Runekey
For this runekey you'll need to assemble 3 Turbulent Fragment
They are all found in the storm version of the isle.

First fragment is gathered from a dirtpile, next to a kul tiran Ghost
/way 38.19, 51.78
Second Fragment in front of a ghost inside a cave
/way 67.07, 78.44
Third Fragment is found in the hands of a ghost in another cave
/way 52.39, 38.59
Combine all fragments to get the final runekey Turbulent Runekey

When all runekeys are gathered, go to Thrayir and activate all the runestones.
/way 38.19, 51.78 Forgotten Vault Cave Entrance
/way 50.31, 15.36 Singing Crystal (Teleporter to Forgotten Vault)
/way 72.70, 61.32 Thrayir

When all runestones are activated, you'll simply get a quest from Thrayir that awards the mount. Congratulations!

Some quick notes for getting Thunderous Fragment that I used. Excuse the rough and ready nature of the pins as it's day one. I used these pins and had pretty good speed getting all 5. From what I saw these points work in and out of the storm phase. Highly recommend buying Experimental Go-Pack (Go-Pack)

Ive made a route that should go by most chests (that I have found so far) and have your "wind" essence trigger.

This uses the addon Routes that will draw a path on your map and minimap for you to easily follow.
Below is the import code for the route for the chests. Enjoy semi afk farming!

If you're near a chest, you'll have an air effect around your character leading to the chest. Then press an extra action button to reveal the chest.

Edit: Adding in waypoints that I found that was not what Rockforce listed

Comment by phillymike101

EDIT: Ok, this looks to have been hotfixed to be STORM ONLY some time after release.

I've now gotten 2 in my last 5 chests inside the storm after 0 in my previous 30+ outside of the storm

Make sure you have Experimental Go-Pack to get to chests and avoid elites

-----------

Wondering if this got hotfixed to be much rarer since release.

Received 2 within my first 4-5 early in the day. 0 in my 30+ since

Comment by Penaloppe

In the Storm phase, it took me 12 Runed Storm Cache to get my 4 missing Thunderous Fragment.

I did use shnook13's Routes.

Comment by Skanty

there's a chest that continually spawns near Zek'ul the Shipbreaker, by what i'm gonna calla whale skull on the western side. if you keep looting this during the hours you spend killing Zek'ul the Shipbreaker for his drop and never being successful, you may end up with all 5. i wouldn't know, i'm at 3

Comment by Theorbo

I'd like to remind you guys theres a lot of Zek groups listed. you can use them to realm hop easily and check if a spawn point yields the chest. Found this to be handy

Comment by Axtin

Not possible to get these without completing the quest Uncovered Mysteries which is currently bugged for most people gg blizzard

Comment by ShowOFF

I got 1 fragment from 14 caches...

Comment by Nadalya

I ended up getting 4 out 5 fragments down in the Forgotten Vault with the storm active. There are 4 Runed Storm Cache locations that respawn periodically, along with a Runemarked Coffer that I believe is a 100% drop rate for one fragment. As far as the coffer goes, this one does not appear to respawn, at least not within the same day. I'm not sure if it will be a one time reward or if it will reset daily or weekly yet. Anyways, I just moved from room to room checking the spawn points until one popped up. You can pretty easily avoid most of the elite mobs in the vault. leaving just the Brinebound Wraiths to kill as they respawn.

Comment by Aiyun

After tons of caches I only had 1. Tried my alt that got 5 very fast but since its not warbound I coundn't trade it to my main. So I decided to be lazy, stand on a box spawn and just serverhop. Good ol serverhop always works. Got them all in a few mins.

Comment by Yvonni

Not really sure why or how it happened but This morning I am no longer able to see the wind effect. I got lucky and got the last 4 just sitting in the Zek'ul spawnpoint and let others open them for me

Comment by panini

I just want to point out that the chests are mostly at ground level.

In my time after these, they never showed up at a place with only wildlife, if they were to be at the top of a mountain they'd be near a building.

If you have coordinates pointing at a place with only crabs or krolusks, look for a cave below them.

Comment by OldNephy

Outside of the storm there is a chest under water at 68.51 , 93.89 that has one in it 100% of the time. A one time chest that also contains some Flame Blessed Iron, a couple Valorstones, and an epic agi or stre 2H mace (it has both options available) called Ordained Forge Maul ilvl 593 4/8 veteran. I think it was called Pilfered Earthen Chest. I've collected the same things on eight alts.

Comment by DeyrethRedrock

Drop chance from Runed Storm Caches definetely is not 41%, I opened like 40+ chest in storm and nothing. Only drops 100% from unique caches, now I have only 3 of them. Most likely it's bugged...

Comment by Niiol

Looted all of them inside the vault, 5 out of 5. Didnt find any outside that cave.

Comment by shammer1

Not RNG here. Gathered the pieces over 4 days, bout 1 drop every 50-100 tries. Need 1 piece left, 21,600 loots/kills/chest later, no one piece I need. That is not RNG people.

Comment by 1und2

This appears to only drop from the chests in the storm. Did it today.

Comment by Chardinary

I am currently at 4 of 5 fragments. I am on day 4 now (probably opened 300+ something chests, both outside and inside storm) and unable to obtain the last one. I am about to give up. The torrential fragments only took me an hour. What is the problem with these fragments? I am running around like a chicken with it's head cut off opening chest left and right. Am i doing something wrong? or is my luck just complete garbage?

Comment by Bill2b

going on 2 hours and getting the boxes constantly but only need one Thunderous and it not dropping lol i hit all the cache in water as well ...anyone have a secret dance they can lend me to help get this last frag! :-)

Comment by evr1ka

Many thanks to guys who posted coordinates.

All 5 fragments dropped for me ONLY in storm phase, so don't waste your time doing it in normal. Also, I noticed that I could find more chests during the storm. Good luck!

Comment by R1p0ne0ut

as mentioned, the chest by Zek'uv. First time I looted it, got one. I already had the other 4 so not sure if that chest is 100% or not. It's worth trying

Comment by Alustriel

Many of the posts are from prior to the end of 2024, and unfortunately many players have now found that finding these fragments, like the Torrential Fragments, has been nerfed considerably. I found that they are ONLY available in storm mode because after searching in normal mode for the Seafarer's Caches and as many of the Runed Storm Caches (found by seeing the winds that swirl from you to it when you are close enough) none dropped for me and that was swimming around the Isle collecting over 300 Seafarer's Caches and trying every single Runed Storm Cache at least once over the course of about 3 hours. Maybe the last couple of days were really bad RNG, but why spend time trying the hard way when members post things that have worked for them, they may work just as well for you too.

Far be it from me to point this out, but these are NOT 100% drops as I cleared every known runed storm cache twice during storm phase to only receive one. The best location which helps you to also find the torrential fragments has been mentioned numerous times and still, as of January 16, 2025, seems a better chance than wandering around all over the Isle. That is the area in front of the entrance to The Forgotten Vault, /way #2369 44.49 22.70
You can search for runed storm caches in the surrounding area, up on top of the mountain at way 56.0, 13.7 and there are five more runed storm caches from the camp to the vault that are easy to check when they respawn. I found one of the Torrential fragments from a Deepwater Eggtender as well.

As a clothie, I die too easily with lots of trash swarming me but I have to tell you the Crawler Mines are the cat's meow! Using the "Command Mine" special action button, you can pop these on targets every 6 seconds and they are hilarious to see blow stuff up. A couple can take out the elite Kvaldir Tidewalker along with your own attacks and they do a nice job of AoE on all the mobs they attract too. The Crawler Mines do have a time/usage limit where you will need to go back to the camp to pick up a new one from time to time. There is a chest at the area around the entrance to the Forgotten vault, way 36.2, 76.6 and around it spawn rapidly many of the undead Brinebound Wraiths that have decent chances of dropping the Torrential fragments. I hung around this area for close to 3 hours to find 4 more that I needed and opening up the Runed Storm Caches that respawned every now and then, I think they are like rares and spawn back within 5-10 minutes. If I gave an estimate it was perhaps 30 minutes average between finding a Thunderous fragment and as well the Torrential fragments. Note, any mob in the storm mode can have a chance to drop a torrential fragment, and only the chests give a Thunderous fragment. I also did a go around swimming underwater in storm mode looking for the seafarer's caches, there were none at all anywhere around the entire perimeter of the Isle. I'd suggest staying around the Forgotten vault area after you have collected the three easy to get runekeys and just farm for the fragments because once you have all of them you can head right into the Forgotten vault and free Thrayir from its prison.

Comment by ayslinn

Getting ready to lose your mind farming this...don't expect to finish quickly. First couple came fast - HOURS later and I've opened 100+ chests and 25 epics later and still nowhere close to inishing. Blizz needs to fix these drop rates on everything jfc. As other mentioned - they only drop inside the storm.

Comment by mypupismup

Looted 3 chests within the Forgotten Vault and got a Thunderous Fragment out of each of them!

Comment by Arcturius1

i had 3 fragments drop within an hour that was week ago
100+ epic drops later still 3/5 wth is wrong with you blizzard

Comment by Allara

I found all 5 within about 45 minutes of farming just now. My guess is there is lower competition for chests at the moment—they were popping up all over the place and the drop rate was pretty decent for these fragments.

Comment by Dekabe

I had much more luck getting the fragments in the rune chests during the storm. Worth remembering in days with pirates there's an earthen pilfered chest with 100% chance of dropping one, and there's another chest in the vault during storms, i think it was the middle segment, that seems to drop one at 100% as well.

Comment by Koffeebeenz

Hey, all! Just to update - I was finding Thunderous Fragments easily within the storm. I used the Tomtom coordinates mentioned above. Thank you all for those! :) Some coordinates did not seem to have a chest - some did. You cannot wear the TR-06 Pummeler suit. If you're wearing the suit, the chests do not show up (at least for me they weren't).
Hope this helps! I found all 5 Thunderous Fragments within an 1.5 hours or so.

Comment by DakMonkeyz

Farming Thunderous Fragment for Thunderous Runekey ended up being a lot easier than I initially thought. Here's how I farmed them earlier today:

1. Enter Storm in Siren isle by talking to Suzie Boltwrench and getting Seafury Tempest buff from her. (She will not let you enter the storm, if you haven't done the weekly progress bar cache.)
2. Grab the TR-06 Pummeler vehicle from behind her. Note that you can see chests, but you don't have the gusts of winds pointing towards nearby chests as long as you are riding the mechsuit.
3. Press the macros below and start going through the Runed Storm Cache locations.
4. When you find the first Runed Storm Cache, kill all the mobs following you with the TR-06 Pummeler, leave vehicle, reveal the chest with the extra action button and loot the chest.
5. Go through the other Runed Storm Cache locations on foot. (Or grab another TR-06 Pummeler, if you're close by.)
6. After you finish going through all the locations, right click the Seafury Tempest buff. This will teleport you away from the storm and back to the camp.
7. Teleport to Dornogal, switch War-Mode On, (or Off, if it was On), return to the Siren Isle and repeat from Step 1.

Guys, if you're stuck like me with for example with Thunderous Fragment just do this:

https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/psa-if-youre-stuck-on-the-thrayir-mount-grind-bug/2051437

I lost 2 days. I had 3/5, and after selling the 3 to a vendor and sit them in the vendor, I found the other 2 within 30 minutes.

As of today, April 15 2025, it's still buggy.

Good Luck guys

Just completed this by going into the storm and farming the chests you have to use the action button for and it took like an hour. Not saying this is normal. Just adding a data point.
