I have been camping this pet (the last i need for the northrend achieve) forever now and have not had any luck finding one of these elusive scourged whelplings

I have an alt both on horde and alliance parked out there so would anyone mind stopping by Icecrown and seeing if there are any up and pls pls add me on RealID Tracey#1445. My alt is already parked in the area so it wouldnt take up much time and would be highly appreciated :)

Same here... over 2 weeks now, on 3 servers, both horde and alliance. This is the most frustrating thing I've done on WoW lately (other than CRZ, which I'm sure we can blame on this non-spawning issue). If my hubby hadn't gotten his Scourged Whelpling, I'd swear they don't exist.

Took me 6 weeks to get one, and I found 2 Uncommon the same time. I tried everything anyone posted. Logging, /target, everything. I logged in on the morning of the 1st, and there they were, right under my toon, no one else around. Patience is the only real key.

I'm on the patience train! Been after this one for a long time too and was the last pet I needed for Continental Tamer
First time ever that I saw a bunch of them spawned today at around 7.30 AM (Saurfang EU)
GL people :)

Got mine second day but my wife has been at it now for 4 weeks with no luck. I've had an alt camped out there to try and get a rare now for a month with not a single sighting so it looks to be super rare.

I feel guilty. I parked an Alliance alt (Aszune EU) there a few days ago and one at Silithus. Logged in on the Northrend alt yesterday morning, found 9 Whelplings and no one battling (no rares though, but I had an undead stone anyway). Relogged to the Silithus alt: sandstorm! Swarming with those bugs :) I was nice and only caught one and announced it in trade channel, hoping someone else would be happy with it too.

I keep trying too...several weeks now, with not a single sighting. I know my timing must be way off, even though I check back every hour or so. How do I know when a server resets (so that I can plan)? Is there any place that lists the times for scheduled resets for specific servers?

Reading this message and countless others makes me think that Blizzard's solution to the rare battle pet spawns is not working. Never should a group suddenly appear at the same time. It should trickle throughout the day. And never relate to any server uptime status.

The wild pets that were added in 5.1 behave the new way, ie they trickle throughout the day. The spawn pattern for pre-5.1 wild pets doesn't seem to have changed very much though. I still see waves after server restarts for things like irradiated roach and jade oozeling. I haven't camped scourged whelplings since 5.1 so I can't say either way for that one.

yesterday was flying my mage up to look for one, saw 6 spawns there and a rare elite mob, landed and they vanished...dirty rotten CRZ, also anyone else noticed that wild pets are almost never about in some northrend zones like storm peaks?

Yes, I was zooming around Storm Peaks in the last 2 days and saw zero pets out over 2 orbits.

I finally found one at Camp Tunka'lo and I don't even remember what it was. I just needed it for the capture part of the achievement. I hope there is a snowstorm soon. =]
