Arctic Fox Kit

This pet wasn't too bad to get, compared to the other "weather" pets (at least, for me). Parked my priest at crash overlook, and just kept checking for snow every few hours. Eventually, saw some flurries, and got really excited. Found one on a mountain top - and after falling off twice trying to get it to battle, the snow stopped and it despawned! I moved to E3 for camping, and a huge blizzard happened a couple days later, finally! I got a rare one. Took ~5 days, on Gul'Dan, ~12:15 PM server.

Been trying and trying for this pet, I have 2 alts and my main parked here and check several times a day...never seem to log into snow...read thru all the posts and tried all the helpful hints, but still no fox...very frustrating!

Was getting ready for bed and decided to check on the Arctic Fox Kit on Tuesday around 11:45 pm on Lightbringer. My druid was parked at the inn and there wasn't any falling snow. I took quick look outside. Sure enough right outside the inn was a little green paw. I decided to check on the Scourged Whelpling and about 100 yards from the 1st paw was another paw. I flew the entire zone and there was absolutely no falling snow. There was plenty of them and they were even respawning. 

I got mine while camping for the Time-loss Proto Drake still withour any luck. If you want a artic fox kit and a tlpd, then try going to spawn spots for tlpd and snow just came out of no where when I was camping. Out of all the times I've been in Storm Peaks, I've only seen snow two times! Good luck everyone happy hunting and camping! 

I used Jendiah's advice below today and it worked like a charm. Thank you!  I picked one area and once it started snowing (took a few hours for me), I stuck to that one area and the spawn was consistent. It snowed for quite awhile, long enough for me to get a common, and then check a good twenty or so until I got a rare.  There was no one else in the area, or I would have stopped with the common.  Anyway, good luck on your fox hunting.   :-)

The snow is not seen unless you are on the ground.  I did a flyby, and saw the green paw for the Kit before I saw the snow.  The Kits will respawn until the snow is finished.  My last Kit that I ran after vanaished right as the snow stopped.  I didn't get to it in time.  My sugestion is to take an area and circle that area, don't try to fly all of Storm Peaks area - you waste too much time.  They do spawn quite fast.  Foud it at 6:29AM, snow stopped at 6:55AM.

Just got this guy right outside K3. Not a snowflake in sight. Doing a fly around right now and I don't see another paw anywhere in the zone so far. Maybe there are glitch spawns?

Beside cross realm phasing, could there be quest phasing issues with this and other SP pets?  I flew around for about 20 mins on my mage who never quested there and saw no battle pets at all.  

Update:  Quest phasing doesn't seem to matter.  SP pets are just not abundant.  Looked off and on for about 4-5 days.

Got mine (rare) just b4 server/cross realm restart!  Not sure if that had anything to with it or if it was coincidence.  Saturday 9:15 am w/snow.

I was in the snowdrifts at about a quarter to 9 tonight looking for this little guy for the first time. Reading about how it needed to snow to find him, I decided to wait the 15 minutes or so to see if the hour change would bring a change in weather conditions, fortunately it did and with plenty of luck there was one on my mini-map which turned out to be a rare. Suffice to say, I did manage to capture the little fellow. :)

So you can't really see the snow when you're just flying around (at least I didn't) but when I got close to one it started to show and when in battle you can really tell. It really does need to be snowing.

Right-o, it doesn't need to be snowing. Found many of them wandering about in a few places after server reset yesterday. Whelpling so just decided to just fly by and "see if it was snowing". It wasn't but there were several kits in more than one of the spawn areas. They even seemed to be re-spawning! I only got common, but I know at least one person got an uncommon. We were spotting for each other in that. 

Anyone else notice pet collectors seem far more courteous than folks like your average herb-and gankers? Lol

i was able to find him while it was NOT snowing over in the Snowdrift plains...unless it was snowing elsewhere but when I caught him on Stromrage server at 2:20pm there was no snow in sight :)

Being a mage I just ported to Dalaran and had a quick 3 min flight to check the weather.  Today it was actually 'snowing'.  These pets were all over the zone but only with the snowing condition.  I had to battle about 20 till I scored my rare. Very nice to have finally.

I just kept circling the area, then popping over to Icecrown to look for the Scourged Whelpling. After about an hour I happened upon a snowy area in Stormpeaks and found a rare fox! Super luck. :)

I left an alt in storm peaks signed on everyonce and a while on the 2nd day logged in at 315pm pst and its snowing!! Got myself an uncommon 1st then 2nd shot got my rare :)

thanks all for info. Left an alt character there in K3, and logged in at random times.. yes it does snow there but in a very small radious. you can fly around in short blitz and see the snow subside, when you stop. Found 3 , just in about 5 min.. Good luck everyone.

Finally caught this little critter after 8 days of checking off and on. Our friend was doing a snow chant, then snow started, but nothing appeared. Finally found a second snow patch and this time a fox appeared, but on the side of a cliff. Couldn't land, couldn't click on it or anything. Two others appeared and tried to click on it, but left when they discovered it was stuck. I followed it for 10 min, finally it reached the top of the mountain and I caught it!!! Goodbye Stormpeaks.

This is terrible! I have been in Storm Peaks  for about 2 hours and there are NO pets in the zone. Last zone I need for the Northrend Achvmnt.
