This is a pretty funny companion ;)

Kommentar von 256123

Found this guy after approx. 10 WC first room clearings. All it takes is pulling every raptor in the ring around the river area (A path such as this.) and then aoeing them all down. There are about 30 raptors each time you do this so it took about 300 kills for me.

EDIT: After me losing half my gear in the latest build and being forced to re-copy my character, I went through this again and it only took me 209 kills, meaning it has about a 0.4% drop chance.

Kommentar von 409064

Every time I cleared the front room, I counted 30 raptors. They are located here in the instance.

The most annoying part about farming this is the five instance/hour restriction and the limited number of raptors in the instance. Actually killing the raptors is easy enough.

Kommentar von voltdude357

it's so cute!

Kommentar von 346318

are they BOE or BOP?

Kommentar von 204527

Awww ... cute one and almost looks like dinos from "Ice Age 3"

Kommentar von 437079

As far as I know the 5 instance per hour lock is account wide so it doesnt matter you can just do it with 1 char wont make any difference.

Kommentar von 387367

I forsee this item causing a lot of WC pug drama.

Kommentar von 338204

I got it after 7 runs. And after read all the comments about this pet. makes me think it's 1% dropp rate.
I also seen ppl that got it 5-10 runs. Wich means 1% :).
For those that gets it first mob or maybe after 20 runs means you are really lucky or very unlucky

Kommentar von Kroul

I agree that from the looks of things, 5-10 runs seems to be the trend, although obviously a few anomalies are to be expected on both sides of the trend.

However, having then said that, your drop percentage doesn't match with the trend of runs done before it drops. If we fully cleared the raptors on each run (30 raptors), that leaves the trend at between 150 and 300, making the drop rate between 0.33% and 0.67%, giving you an average of 0.5%.

However, since we're using the number of RUNS as what to go by here, not the number of raptors, I have to be pedantic and say that to get a drop after 5-10 runs means it could be anything from your first kill of your 5th run to your 30th kill on your 10th run and still fit the trend, meaning it's now between 121 ((4x30)+1) and 300 kills, making the drop rate between 0.33% and 0.83%, giving you an average of 0.58%. Not a huge difference I grant you, but a difference nonetheless.

I'll probably update after farming it a few more times, hoping the AH will make it worth my time of course (or many +1s).

And if my maths is somehow off for this, I'm going to be very $%^&ed off D:

tl;dr: Drop rate currently looks like 0.58% from the looks of things, or 0.5%-0.6% if you want to be less specific. I'll update when I find out more.

Edit: M'kay, after more farming I've got a bit more to work with:

First drop: 3 runs
Second drop: 7 runs
Third drop: 1 run
Fourth drop: 14 runs
Fifth drop: 7 runs
Sixth drop: 9 runs
Seventh drop: 10 runs

..after which I got bored and had forgotten what the sun looked like.

Doing the math with these figures (you don't have to bother looking at the formulae if you don't want to, but if anyone spots anything wrong please correct me):

Minimum raptors killed in total for all drops = (30 x (total number of runs - number of drops) + number of drops)
Maximum raptors killed in total for all drops = 30 x total number of runs

Comes out with a minimum of 1327 kills, and a maximum of 1530, for 7 drops.

So the drop rate comes out as between 0.46% and 0.53%, 0.5% averaged out.

So I can safely judge from theory and actually trying it out that the drop rate isn't 1%, and I'd bet my Titanium Seal of Dalaran that it isn't even close to 2%, like the Armory would have us believe. It looks to be skittering around the 0.5% mark, but remember, a drop rate is a drop rate, you may be just be very (un)lucky.

Good luck :)

The hardest thing getting this pet may be seeing 'Additional instances cannot be launched, please try again later' over and over again.

The pet itself is very cute - a must have for any pet collector.

Edit: Welcome to the most downrated comments page on Wowhead... What's your problem, people?

Kommentar von Dan21

According to the Armory it has an 'Extremely Low' drop rate (1% - 2%). However, take this with a grain of salt, as the armory lists the same 1% - 2% drop rate for the whelpings, which are actually 0,1%. The only useful information that can be gained from the armory is that it only drops off 2 mobs inside WC; Deviate Ravagers and Deviate Guardians.

Also, keep in mind that once wowhead does get some data about this pet, the droprate will be skewed. People have been killing the raptors for a very long time, and the hatchling drop only just got added.

Kommentar von Kroul

Yes, it will keep dropping after the first drop, I've had 3 drops myself, so you can AH them or send them to your other characters. I believe it's the case for all raptor hatchlings.

Kommentar von Dvalin

None of the raptor hatchlings are "unique" so you can obtain more than one per character, this also applies if you have added the pet to your collection.

Kommentar von mortedamos

This pet drops from Deviate Guardians and Deviate Ravagers, both found in Wailing Caverns in the first large cave inside the instance. Fairly easy to farm - enter the instance, make a trip around the upper area above the river killing the raptors (and, most likely, the boss Lady Anacondra, which spawns in this area) and looting as you go. Finish the circuit, leave and reset.

Note that the quests Deviate Eradication and Deviate Hides require you to kill deviate ravagers, as well as few other monsters in this instance, and can give you something else to accomplish while farming for this pet.

Edit: Please do not mark this post down just because you had a poor drop rate.

Kommentar von 442491

Wow...gotta love the RNG. I killed 1740 raptors without a single hatchling dropping...then looted THREE in my next run. Go figure. To everyone hunting these cute little guys: be patient. It will happen :)

Kommentar von Meghara1

This raptor is pretty easily attainable. Just clear the first whole room, run out, reset (5 times per hour, due to lock out). If you are a class that can handle it, I suggest running and gathering them all up, running out of Line of Sight of the caster humanoids until the turn the corner, the AoE everything down. Super easy, though really fast, so you will lock yourself out of instances pretty quick.

I've had three pets drop within about 7 instance resets.

Kommentar von Danielfboone

Got mine on the 3rd kill of the 3rd run. :-)

Kommentar von 191597

This is a pretty cool pet though I have not been able to obtain one in my 20 odd runs. Though for a Warrior going counter clockwise seems to be the fastest route if your Charging and Intercepting since the raptors are grouped closer together. And as with most people, time saved can be used for other, more productive things. My fastest time was 3 minutes all raptors down and 4 going out, resetting, and re-entering.

I hope one drops for me tomorrow as I've gotten Leaping Hatchling after my most recent run/

A side note, I found it easier to Charge, Kill, Target, Kill when I could very well AoE them all down. This makes looting easier and saves time.

Kommentar von 361665

Got in the second rush, Raptor number 39.

Kommentar von 362539

Easiest and most controlled grind of the (new) raptor HATCHLINGS

Some words of advice on maximizing this particular grind:

*You get 5 runs thru before your time limit of dungeon resets expires. Best case scenario ... if it didn't drop in these 5 runs...take an entire hr off.

Setup: From Orgrimmar...fly to crossroads...travel slightly southwest by mount to entrance of Wailing Caverns...from entrance you can avoid all mobs inside and enter main INSTANCE GATE...within 2 mins.

At this point there are 2 mob types: Deviate Guardian and Deviate Ravager(s) which are in a perfect circular loop...counterclockwise is most typical grind pattern. This loops takes roughly 5 minutes for a dps class and when complete you simply run back up the path and out the instance to reset and go again.

My honest evaulation of WORTH is ~300G if you can find it in the AH...which you won't.

The other hatchlings are much, much harder to achieve in terms of time and some involve sitting in place doing absolutly nothing waiting for a spawn.

Thus...great place to start

Kommentar von 230503

Well, if you're like me, you one-pulled everything. A word of advice when you've ended up one-pulling and you've killed them all in a crowded circle: Click on the tails to loot. It allows you to keep track of which ones you looted. Also, if one drops a green, leave it on there, so you know when you've gone full circle (or maybe more, depending on where you find the green).

Just a thought.

Kommentar von 177596

This pet is so darn cute. I thought of selling it but when i saw the model it made me fall in love with him.
Seriously this is the first pet thats made me go bawwww in a long time.

Kommentar von Spycrab

This is my favorite of the raptor hatchlings.
Just a few minutes ago, I popped into WC on my fresh human DK with the intention of picking up some greens for a friend to disenchant, and.. it dropped on the third raptor I killed! I was floored.
Adorable little guy (:

Kommentar von 441225

track record.

1st - dropped off first mob
2nd - dropped of 8th (same run as 1st)
3rd - 4th run (so about 126 mobs)
4th - still LF it

Kommentar von Krystalynn

I found my little guy by accident when I was looking for greens for my boyfriend to disenchant. I entered Wailing Caverns for the first time, killed between twenty to thirty raptors, and got him. To really have an idea how fast it was, I didn't even get to Lady Anacondria yet. Lol.

I am in love with the purple/blue coloration, since purple is my favorite color. But it's awesome to know that it has a 1% drop. I should go farm more on my Hunter. :D

Kommentar von 230931

He makes the screech you normally hear when whelp or mechanical dragonling dies. This is my favorite companion ever, though blizzard bear is such fun too.

Kommentar von 449791

I have been unfairly teased with this drop I guess. 3 days ago I decided to get the achievement for WC and had 2 of these drop in the first room in my first run. I didn't know how much they were worth and taught myself one and sold the other. After realizing how much they sell for I returned the next day and on my 1st run of that day I got another one. Came back yesterday, cleared the room 4 times and didn't get any. Good luck to everyone!

Kommentar von 445281

Ive ran the instance so far, 23 times. Still havent dropped. And whoever said the dont sell in the AH , in my server there are way many of all kind of them. Tho I dont want to buy, I want to have the pleasure of finding him myself... which I havent had any luck at all.

Kommentar von 468569

25 runs and still no hatchling. Stupid random number generator! The runs are quick though, 5 minutes each. What sucks is the instance lock-out after 5 runs.

Kommentar von 355724

40 runs without a drop. Please tell me I am not the only one with luck this bad.

Edit: Now 50 runs without a drop. There's not something special I'm supposed to do, is there? Just kill Ravagers and Guardians, right?
Edit: Perseverance pays off...62 runs in.

Kommentar von Kitmuri

I got one last night, and then two more just now (about 4 kills apart) the drop rate seems a little better than 0.01%, or maybe i'm just extremely lucky.

Either way, I'd say the drop rate for this particular one has been about 3 in 100 for me

Kommentar von 473669

Just to put in my data as well:

I have run Wailing Caverns 20 times now with no drop. I'm starting to think this pet doesn't exist :) I'll get it, probably two on the same run after all of this struggle.

I actually think I'm being punished for my good luck elsewhere. In 25 minutes I found the Leaping Hatchling, Razormaw Hatchling and Crimson Whelpling(6th kill). Total good luck and I can't complain about my low drop rates in WC.

Cheers

For more data: Selling for 450g on my server.

Edit: 35 times, still no drop :(

Kommentar von 395628

5 runs for me hatchling farming, so far nothing. which is ludicrous to me because ive looted over 30 items with LESS than a 1% drop, but no hatchling yet.

Edit: 10 runs. no hatchling. i am NOT looking forward to doing this for Zul'Gurub.

Edit 2: 25 runs now. still no hatchling. damn you RNG!

Edit 3: the 8th raptor of my 26th run. WOO! it dropped off of a guardian.

Confirmed - the raptors that drop the hatchling only load in the first room on the upper floor around Lady Anacondra's area.

Confirmed - there are exactly 30 raptors per run.

Kommentar von takasi

*sigh* 14 tries, still no pet :(

lots of leather though! and some greens to sell on the AH.

I think I know all the raptors by name, now.

Kommentar von mrpops

my run statistics are this:

1rst drop:3
2nd drop:2
3rd drop:5
4rth drop:4
5th drop:7
6th drop:3

took me 5 hours and made me 4.5k G

Kommentar von 230081

To all the people that've been farming a long time for this, I'm sorry =[

I had my third one drop less than an hour after the first one. Random drop is random >.<

Kommentar von babysealclubber

I didn't even know this was a pet item til just today. I've run this for helping to twink alts of friends / had my alts run through honestly over 100 times and when running a friend today through we got TWO in the first 3 kills. It is adorable btw.

Kommentar von 499994

NOTE: these do not drop from a nest! I just did 2 runs in wc and i got it they still drop from the elite raptors in wc! and they are not very rare i guess

Kommentar von 500012

Fairly easy to obtain, considering it's just persistence and not luck/timing. I, myself got it on reset number 3 toward the end of clearing the room. Even though these aren't THAT difficult to obtain, nor that time consuming, these still go for like 500g on my server.

Kommentar von 7203

Got it after 20 raptor kills. Have fun!

Kommentar von 515734

Hmm lol i got mine on my 1st run on my 17 Paladin

Kommentar von 517425

If this really is 0.1%, I must be the luckiest guy in the world. This is my third one, today.

Kommentar von 265822

Very low drop rate? Or did I just get very lucky. Took my lvl 80 mage into wailing caverns a couple of weeks ago, back to back clearing of the dinos, no pet. Then today, while bored I went and cleared 3 times, nothing, on the 4th clear, i got two of these pets back to back from two consecutive raptor kills. Currently on my server, they are way overpriced (Current AH Bid is 4k with a 6k buyout....seems a little steep), so I plan on holding onto the spare for another alt some day. Or to barter for a Razzashi hatchling, the only one I am missing.

This is pretty much to say, don't give up, work at it a little a time, and your little raptor pet will drop.

Kommentar von Alphacius

I got this on my second run through Wailing Caverns like two months ago through random dungeon. I didn't realize it was a pretty rare drop until I checked on here and saw that it was going for 1000 and 800g in the AH.

1 and 2% drop rate eh? I guess I got lucky.

Edit: Btw, I was a lvl 21 BE Rogue then.

Kommentar von mabe

Got my first drop on first run, still looking my 2nd drop , after 68 runs... will hit the 100 run mark during weekend :(

would have stopped long time ago but promised to get one to a friend :) (and no, there hasn't been any in ah)

Kommentar von mikael11

I know alittle ''Trick'' you can use (I dont know if anyone else've said this yet) If you've played 5 instances and have to wait some, Go outside and look for the nest for another raptor (Dont remember the name, Sorry) But just search for Nest on WoWhead and take the one it says The Barrens!

Kommentar von 519600

I'd cleared WC 4 or 5 times on my 80 hunter some weeks ago, and today I decided to try again to get a raptor pet. Takk's & Dart's nests weren't up, nor the Matriarch from Wetlands. Finally I stopped in WC on my way to Un'Goro, and boom! first kill. I hope you all have the same blind luck! (:

Kommentar von 544593

I just ran wc for the first time on my ench shaman, and got this! is that good? I ALSO got 2 pieces of the fang (chest and boots) and the blue leather shoulders. is that pretty good for one run? I was happy!

Kommentar von 544593

1-4k gold? are you serious? omg I must be lucky as hell then. got this on my first run wc on my new ench shammy (lvl 18). I know its a cool pet an rare, but as I have no 80's and just gettin back into wow after 3 years, that gold sounds pretty tempting!

Kommentar von 544593

Man! Now I cant decide wether to keep him make all kinds of gold! if it was 2k, id do it no matter what lol. but the only one on my ah is going for 850 gold... still very good for me, but idk if ill ever be able to get another :(

Kommentar von 7203

I cleared WC about 4 times to get one. I would round up all the raptors and aoe them down. Takes around 5 minutes per run.

I have gotten 2 in about 40 resets.

Kommentar von executable

This dropped to us by the first raptor in the instance and some guy just got it , i had the right to loot it but i didn't , i mean who wants to loot raptors , next thing i see is :
"X has earned the achievement " , scrolled up and found this.
to be honest there is an OK amount of raptors , should be gotten like written above.

Kommentar von foxbuster

Silly question: Why do we have to fight our way out in the open chasing vanity pets in nests, and right inside of this dungeon, loaded to hell with nests, we cannot get even ONE pet inside one of these nests?

Kommentar von 561713

So i decided to try my luck at a few "rare" spawns today and ended up with one of each in just under 4 hours:

Ravasaur Hatchling
Razormaw Hatchling
Darting Hatchling
Deviate Hatchling

NOTE= The deviate is dropped off Mob's in Whaling Caverns instance so it takes mob grinding to acquire. I've read of people running this instance as much as 60 times without a drop. I got mine on the first mob of the second run, so i killed about 35 raptors for it.

;) it's not that hard! just check back at all the spots! depending on how popular they are for farming on your server i recommend leaving a level appropriate ALT logged at each of the locations and just log off/on to check each of the different spots. I'm still not sure on the exact timing of the spawns, I may have just gotten lucky today (I also fished out Old Crafty in ORG in about 20 casts)

Kommentar von Meera

Most people thinks these raptors drops with 100% rate. I can confirm it doesn't has 100% drop rate. Killed Tark two times and nothing happens. Still keep doing it.

Kommentar von 561713

The only thing that is 100% is that it will drop eventually. That obviously doesn't mean it's going to drop every time you do the instance so you have to just keep resetting. I just ran through through the first section with all the raptors shown by an earlier post (quoted below, thanx!)

==================================

By Alkene on 06/28/2009 (Patch 3.1.3)

Every time I cleared the front room, I counted 30 raptors. They are located here in the instance.

The most annoying part about farming this is the five instance/hour restriction and the limited number of raptors in the instance. Actually killing the raptors is easy enough.

==================================

General side note: If you're having no luck, try checking "/who" for other players farming the same item in the area. This avoids you wasting too much time on farming this if someone else higher level is already doing so. I recommend you level up before attempting to compete. ;)

Happy hunting! =)

Kommentar von 570891

no i got them today in pacth 3.3

Kommentar von lock101

Just got this on my lvl 17 warrior, well dinged 18 while in the instance. This is the first time I've ever been in there also, just randomed up for a dungeon and this came up, when I ported in they were fighting the raptors, a little later, was looting and seen it pop up in the loot box. It was on group loot, no one said anything other than a shaman who later was saying he'd like to have that pet.

Kommentar von Skazy

Got mine 5 minutes ago, Dropped on the first run! what a luck now ill farm it and Auction it.

Kommentar von 607553

Just did run #20, nothing yet. :(

Edit: 774th raptor on run #30! It looks so cute on my baby troll hunter w/her matching raptor pet. :D

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Why does it cost so much to the AH?

Edited, Jan 6th 2010 7:07pm by Lulune

Kommentar von Allakhazam

i found it today got it on my lv 23 hunter titaankiller on horde eonar server
realy funny pet:D

Kommentar von Allakhazam

This is a rare drop from any raptor inside Wailing Caverns. It goes for 1300g on Fenris - Horde. There are 2 similar pets, one from the Dalaran Pet Supplies Merchant (The Obsidian Hatchling), and one from a rare yellow raptor in Wetlands. The droprate is 100% for the Wetlands one, the Razormaw Hatchling.

Kommentar von Ehawen

This dropped for me today (during WOTLK pre-patch) at the beginning of my 6th run. First day in there.

Kommentar von jaymz6

As of 3.4 is a possible reward from the tank/healer Northrend Adventuring Supplies.

Kommentar von awhelchel

There are 30 total Deviate dinos (Guardians and Ravagers) in the first area once you enter the instance that can drop this companion pet. I counted each Deviate dino I killed each time I ran through the area where they are, and the total count was always 30. I spammed that area 6 times and on my 6th run through on the 27th Deviate dino I finally got this little guy. Good Luck to anyone that spams the area to get one!
