Eldoren the Reborn is located in the Thaldraszus zone.

General Respawn Info
Only part of Dragonflight rares are active during a single daily reset.
Most of the time you will be able to find only small part of all zone rares and they will respawn after kill in relatively short time.
But after daily reset they will disappear and a new pack of rares will be active.
So most of the time you will come to the spot and see nothing there. At least this way it was on Beta

Rare is a part of Adventurer of Thaldraszus achievement.

Comment by Ranlom

Eldoren has spawned for me today, just like a regular rare. No hunt or any other event was active in Thaldrazus at that moment. The spawn location was exactly where the wowhead map point is.
UPD: seems that Eldoren is part of the "2-hour rare rotation" - in the beggining of each odd hour (EU server time, not sure about other regions) two random rares with map-wide mark spawn somewhere on Dragon Isles. So you don't need to camp the bird all time, just check on it each 2 hours.
UPD2: in 10.0.5 the spawn rate of these rares will be changed from "2 every 2 hours" to "1 every 30 minutes"
UPD3: since 10.0.5 all 28 rares have static rotation instead of randow spawn order. Each of them will respawn exactly each 14 hours. Eldoren's closest incoming spawns in EU server time are: 26.01.23 13:30 | 27.01.23 3:30 | 27.01.23 17:30 | 28.01.23 7:30 etc. The schedule is currently not affected by server reboots, but that may change in future

Comment by Hojzti

Eldoren the Reborn spawned today at 11:27 CET, and while we were fighting and taking pictures with him, another one spawned right behind, even though we were still fighting another version of him. Maybe it's been bugged before, or there's some hidden criteria that triggers his spawn. The Grand Hunt was in the Waking Shores, so it doesn't have anything to do with that from what I can gather.

Comment by arabus80

I've been regularly camping this guy for up to 4 hours; I've yet to see him.

I'm starting to wonder if he's a "normal" spawn like other comments state

Comment by Stiobhek

Eldoren appeared the same minute when Thaldraszus Firestorm started- I believe it confirms this is requirement for it to spawn.

Additionally, similarly to previous comments - two copies of the rares appeared.

Comment by Thenebrid

I have now camped for 2h soon 3h, in meantime both The Hunt and Elemental storm (fire) spawned in Thaldraszus and been going for a hour i been here the entire time and now its 40 min left, and i have seen NO sign of this rare spawning at all! its my 7 day of camping.

Edit: Both events are now done, No rare spawned

Comment by Kirkly

There's gotta be something more to this spawn that we just don't know. Some people are seemingly lucky, some (like me) are not. I waited for nearly 12 hours today with no luck. If there's a timer, it's massive. It might be tied to world events, it might be certain days, it could be anything.

EDIT because I got the title: It spawned at about 3:02 PM server time. The hunt and the elemental icestorm were leaving. It seems that these may not be relevant since others have reported that their spawns are not tied to it, and I have also experienced many hunts/storms come and go over the last week with no spawn of the silly bird.

I am proud to now be a Birdwatcher though.

Comment by Thenebrid

Ok it must be some trigger object for this rare the achi says ( Special encounters) i was reading in the comment there and it seem like most rares there have a trigger, You can go look at achi for Adventurer of Thaldraszus for the other rares triggerings Adventurer of Thaldraszus

Take one: I went to get Ash Feather Amulet maybe it had some feather trigger near by that we could only see with this amulet, after i got it, i came back and saw no feather or any trigger objects (the amulet itself spawn feathers) but nothing happen.

Take two: i went to kill all the eagles around, nothing happen :(

Take Three: went to look around all caves and all the trees that is open if they had some trigger object in them. but no :(
So back to square one :(

Comment by Lykoian

He showed up! At 7PM server time, Argent Dawn EU, two of him spawned at the same time like a regular rare. NO hunt, NO elemental invasion. No special event whatsoever. Rokmur spawned at the exact same time, too.

Comment by Sharpbladez

So while in War Mode today, I saw Rokmur and 2 Eldoren all spawn at the same exact time. Right before they spawned, a horde player bounty got killed, but I cant imagine that had anything to do with it.

Comment by Patsy

Eldoren spawned today 23:42 at 23:00 server time at Argent Dawn EU. It was a double spawn, as there were 2 Eldorens around.
The hunt in the area was just finished and the fire storm went up - might be a coincidence but has been reported before.

Very glad to have my Birdwatcher title now :)

Comment by MabocTheRogue

Spawned today, Dec 25th 2022, at just after 6:00pm server time. There was an invasion, and a hunt that concluded at the same time in the zone. It was a water invasion, not fire. Tow spawned as others have said.

Comment by Satyricol

Spawned today at 22:00 EST. (double spawn) Exactly 28 hours after the last NA spawn in the previous comment.
Interesting pattern, looking at the comments about EU spawns, last two spawns for them has also been 28 hours apart.

Comment by stonerain88

Spawned on Azjol-Nerub at 19:00 realm time. Same as others, two of him appeared at once. Rokmur appeared at the exact same time

Comment by Pigbird

Spawned at 7:00pm server time on Argent Dawn EU. Looked like a double spawn as others have reported, both were blasted to smithereens in seconds by an angry mob. No further clues to add unfortunately.

Comment by Isiliel81

Spawned while I was watching the WorldQuests appear. As soon as the Bi-Weekly Worldquests were spawned the Rares showed up, including a Double-Spawn of Eldoren :)
No Hunt was up, but a Sandstorm.

Comment by Eldarias

Double spawned at 6:00 PM server time (EST) on Area 52 US on January 6th, 2023. This coincided with The Hunt changing zones. I don't think the spawn is related to The Hunt, but if it is in fact part of a two-hour respawn cycle, that cycle happens to line up with The Hunt's cycle on my server at least. Not sure if the rare respawn cycle is on a region-wide timer like The Hunt or if it differs by server.

Comment by alxndros

Hi all,

Today, at 23:01 (GMT +1), EU Sylvanas server, I got two spawns of the same NPC at the same time.

Comment by arealhuman

spawned a minute after the hour at 10pm. just start checking a few minutes before each hour.

Comment by Ecaboo

Spawned at 10pm EST 1/7/23 on US - Dalaran Server. 2 Spawned at the same time at the same location.

Comment by Soeroah

Some of the rares in this achievement are what I'm personally calling a paired rare. As some other comments state, ~~every two hours (odd for PDT, odd for CET) at about two minutes past the hour, two rares will spawn with a skull pin on the zone map (only visible at level 70, but any level can kill them for loot).~~

EDIT: With patch 10.0.5 this has been changed to one rare per 30 minutes.

EDIT 2: Ranlom has discovered a rotation using EU zones; US rares spawn 22 cycles behind EU, so the 11 hours in PST after CET time holds up!

Xirev has created a WeakAura to allow in-game tracking of the next rare to spawn, too https://wago.io/zs_TxqV0H

These rares spawn across every realm in a region at once - if Eldoren spawns, it spawns on every realm. If it's not up, there's no point trying to find a group.

Something I have discovered with help from EU players is that exactly 11 hours after one of these rares spawns on an EU realm it will spawn on a US realm.

As much as possible, I'll include a section at the bottom of this comment with known US spawn times for rares on this achievement, but my information relies on EU players reporting what spawns when, and I don't have many volunteers.

A non-exhaustive list of confirmed rares for each zone that fall under this system include:

Waking Shores:
Amethyzar
Azra's Prized Peony
Gorjo the Crab Shackler
Harkyn Grymstone
Magmaton
Massive Magmashell
O'nank Shorescour
Smogswog the Firebreather

Thaldraszus:
Eldoren the Reborn
Matriarch Remalla
Riverwalker Temapo
Rokmur
Tempestrian
Treasure Mad Trambladd

Ohn'aran Plains:
Fulgurb
Malsegan
Mirkin of the Raging Winds
Oshigol
Researcher Sneakwing
Rosnak the Decimator
Steamgill

Azure Span:
Gruffy
Grumbletusk
Skag the Thrower

FUTURE SPAWNS:
N/A

Comment by Xobn

So i've been told that he spawned earlier today (16th January) at 7 am server time EU
apparently no sleeping is allowed lol

i've been camping this dude for 4 consecutive days non stop (minus the time when i'm sleeping)
during that time, i've seen Broodweave like 4 times, Phenran 2 times, Magmaton 3 times
Eldoren - ZERO times.
to me it seems that he has less chance to spawn compared to the other Skull rare spawns.

for example today, Broodweaver Araznae spawned twice in a row, at 11 am and then again at 1 pm
so also the spawns seem to be completely random and not following any kind of predefined order we could track.

Birdwatcher is going to take a while i'm afraid :/

A slight misconception that i noticed fellow campers seem to have
if 2-3 minutes past the hour pass and you don't see a skull on the map, this means 2 rares IN A DIFFERENT ZONE spawned
if you see 1 Skull on the map, this means there's another rare that also spawned in a different zone.
This does not include the primal storms invasion rares.

So yea, this is very RNG heavy as there's a large pool of rares across the dragon isles and from which only 2 will spawn at every other hour.

Comment by voreo

I swear this thing is spawning while im sleeping.

Comment by Xobn

Just spawned on EU 7pm Server time
Good luck all

Comment by Weefs

Spawned at 2300 NA servers, exactly 11 hours after a reported EU spawn that was posted in this comment section. I can confirm that it worked for us!

Comment by Averuki

Was up today on EU at 05:00AM CET.
Which means it should be up at 07:00AM PST on US.

Comment by Mindsoothe

I swear with everyone saying 7pm server time, here I am on a Saturday night checking the clock every 10 seconds, like a teenager waiting for her first date. This guy is literally the last selfie between me and the Birdwatcher achievement.

Comment by Insio

Double spawn at 13:02 CET on EU

Comment by Marsonius

Ladies and Gentlemen, we got him. Twice ...

01:00 pm - EU-Server time.

Comment by sardinesoda

EU double-spawn at 08:02AM CET ~ Expect US one in 11 hours from now :)

Comment by ThatLukewalker

Had a double spawn on US servers at about 23:30 CST (11:30PM Central). Think this guy is now on half hour spawn increments per new patch changes.

It spawns on some rocks at ~ 47.89, 51.26 and then tries to fly down if not pulled. He gains a lot of HP for each player and shows a rare icon on the minimap.

Had time to log out of an alt and log onto main and fly to him to take my selfie for the achievement and tag for loot!

Comment by Xirev

This spreadsheet (EU) has the times in Central European Time for when this rare will spawn.
This spreadsheet (NA) has the times in Eastern Time for when this rare will spawn.
This WeakAura (EU/NA) provides a countdown to the next rare that will spawn, by default it has the coordinates and zone in the text message but can be disabled in the Custom Options tab.

The rare is on a 14 hour rotation with one rare in the rotation spawning every 30 minutes. (Except for after Eldoren where there's a 1 hour gap because Phenran is no longer part of the rotation.)

Comment by vjosullivan

All we want to know is where he is: /way #2025 47.8 51.2 Eldoren the Reborn

Comment by Drailessan

Just had two Eldoren's spawn at the exact same time at 7:30pm EST on US server. They both appeared in the exact same spot (they were clipping each other) where Eldoren normally spawns on the rock.

Comment by Kozasky

Took a selfie while it was dead! Counted for

Comment by Eillesthis

The schedule is up on the Wowhead homepage, in the "Today in WoW" section, under "TIMED DRAGON ISLES RARES".

Comment by Zuma

Echoing what others have said- he spawns twice for some reason.

What was funny is I was soloing one of them, got killed by Horde and the kill was stolen from me, fair enough, Warmode was on after all.

But after the Horde left, the other was left flying in the air, and a fellow Alliance and I took it down.

I guess everyone gets to kill this bird, lol. Thankful for the double-spawn.

Comment by Khatun

Still double spawns. As a BM Hunter, you will not survive. Good luck

Comment by Sebastienne

Many of these rares are worth killing repeatedly for loot and the chance of dropping a Dragon Shard Of Knowledge - this is NOT worth it!

Spawns double and both kill you off easily - avoid if you already killed it - group up if you haven't.

Comment by WoWplayer001

Seems to be unkillable during dreamsurge. Got it down to 1hp, and then all of a sudden it started blasting through my HP, hitting me for absolutely tremendous damage. One hit took of 25% of my hp, and I was dead before I knew it. It took no further damage at 1hp.

Comment by mekadyn

I had good luck with it while Dream Surge was active in this area.

Comment by Jihyo

Doesn't seem to spawn if Dreamsurge is up in Thaldraszus. Wasted an hour as was expecting it based on server time, then expected it based on my own local time (GMT+1), and it just never showed.

Comment by passivecore

It spawned on April 16, 2024 at 21:08 CET while Dream Surge was active.

Comment by Wyspe

Today: 20. Feb. 2025
The bird spawned according to the EU spread sheet for me. Im on Tarren Mill.
It was desynced for a while. But seems to be ok again.

Comment by GeorgMaUlWurf

TLDR; I think spreadsheet is 1h off
Edit: it really is

EU Arthas / Antonidas / Blackhand
I camped 1 spawn at 16:30 but it never spawned
I tested with Riverwalker Tamopo which should have spawned today 04/02/26 9:30
but I noticed handynotes had a different time 04/02/26 8:30
Turned out 8:30 (4 minutes ago) was the spawn. So Spreadsheet -1h might be the thing.

Eldoren should spawn at 04/02/26 9:30 if spreadsheet -1h is correct. I will update this to confirm my theory.
Edit: spawned 04/02/26 9:31

Comment by Earthwarden

He spawned 45 minutes late, stick around for a bit if he doesn't spawn immediately.
Wowhead and handynotes predicted him to spawn at 7:30PM PST on 2/12/2026
He spawned at 8:15 PM PST on 2/13/2026
