I have tried the 'mother' method and it works. DO NOT KILL the ones with hatchlings, they will in fact keep spawning them. Mark them and kill off the non producers ; )
ps
Spitting on people who kill the mothers only confuses them
If you're farming these for a rare catch, kill every Elder Diemetradon except the ones with hatchlings following them! These 'momma's will RESPAWN a hatchling every 2-5 mins! Elders with no hatchlings wont spawn any hatchlings, so kill them off. Momma Elders will ALWAYS spawn with a hatchling.
Just got my rare after about 1 hour farming. When I got to Terron Run there were two "mothers" with hatchlings, both were poor quality... I marked the mothers with a raid icon and killed all the others that did not have hatchlings, that made new creatures respawn... at the end I had four mothers. This approach works to get Infested Bear Cub as well.
Got this cutie just a little while ago. I found two of them, one poor and one uncommon. Obtaining one seems a simple task, just kill Elder Diemetradons until they are forced to respawn. These hatchlings spawn with them. Happy hunting!
Ironic that the pet journal states that the hatchlings are abandoned at birth, and yet they spawn with the older dimetradon mobs... Sense you no haz, blizz.
The tip for putting a target marker on the Bears that spawn the Infested Bear Cub, worked well for these too. Marked the elders that spawned the hatchling so I'd know which elders to kill and which to leave. Soon had 4 that regularly respawned the hatchling.
Can confirm that they seems to spawn alongside the Elder Diemetradons - I've found several by killing off the mobs and waiting for them to respawn.
They're not just around the Hot Springs either. It seems they can spawn from the Golakka Hot Springs to Terror Run; basically anywhere you can find the Elders.It looks like they spawn alongside the Elder Diemetratons. If you don't see any hatchlings around, kill off all the Elders and there is a small chance one will respawn with the big guys. They are fairly uncommon spawns though. Good luck!
Got it around my tenth spawn. Got a rare tree python and parrot in the process. There were plenty around and kept respawning.
What does p/b or p/p mean?
Like everyone said mark the Elder Diemetradons with babies and kill all the others. I had no mothers at first then one showed up. On second pass I had two then three. On about the 12th pass I suddenly had about 9 mothers spawn. Took about an hour and a quarter to get my rare (P/B) although I may go back to see if I can get a P/P breed. Also got a rare spotted bell frog as a second.
Got an uncommon a while back and I came back today to try for a rare. Took about 20-25 mins of farming and I finally got a P/P rare at 38, 50. I saw many "mothers" and only killed or battled the babies. I only killed one "mother" due to aggro and all the hatchlings kept spawning after I defeated or killed them.
The same "mother" spawned a new hatchling about 5-10 mins after I got my rare.
I managed to catch a common one on my fifth try, I think they look really cool and prehistoric; however I'm not going to even try to get another one that’s an uncommon or a rare after three and a half weeks without seeing anything save two poor quality Diemtradon Hatchings I just gave up. I'm just going to wait for a pet stone to raise the quality. The drop rates better!
Just got mine 10 min ago. Killed Elders on my way to the camp site at 38.57,65.74 (was expecting to camp there for a while) but he was standing there waiting on me when I got there. Not a rare but uncommon is good enough. :)
Omg..I just got a second one at the edge of Golakka Hot Springs. Wasn't even 15 min between them. It a common.
Finally! After many trips to Terror Run, got him at 620 pm Zangarmarsh time or 920 EDT at 27 58.5 aver the border in Golakka Hot Springs. He is a P/B, out of possible P/B, P/P or B/B and I am over the moon :) Thanks for posts, so I knew to kill all but the mom to make him spawn!
Caught him first try! was stoked by this. Found him in Terror run around the base of the trees.
I killed off battlepets and critters while waiting for Hatchlings to spawn. Stopped killing Elders to see what would happen and got five Elders that spawned babies.
39, 66 by abandoned camp; 40, 65 and 40, 68 east of camp; 29, 73 SW wall of zone; and 35, 62 Galakka Hot Springs. Got my rare quickly after that since wasn't waiting for Elders to respawn, just did the rounds.
Lucked out and found a rare on the first attempt just west of Terror Run. Second two pets added to the battle were just common Ash Lizard and Long Tailed Mole.
If you've got lots of players questing with diemetradons, camp on the round, flat rock at 31,68 just west of the broken campsite. There are 4 elders nearby that can be culled to each provide hatchlings, so rather than running all over the place you can confine your camping to one location and have fresh hatchlings every 5-10 minutes.
Barkoren's method is the best! I used this on all the elder's I saw south of Golakka Hot Springs, and into Terror Run. Three minutes later, I went back to where I started, and there was the little guy just waiting for me. Common.
