August 4, 2009

This is one of several raptor companions introduced in patch 3.2. Upon its initial release, this pet dropped from Dart, a rare spawn who circles through northern Dustwallow Marsh roughly every 5-8 hours.

As of patch 3.3, the Darting Hatchling became a lootable item from Dart's Nest.

This pet will occasionally run around in a random pattern leaving a trail of dust behind.

I just snagged mine while I was flying through Dustwallow to do some Archeology leveling on my DK.  I stopped off in the area, and after about 20 seconds, I saw Dart run past.  I checked a couple nests and found his on the third one.  Now back to Un'Goro to try for the Ravasaur...

Used Tom Tom and the four way points that Orlendis shared. Worked perfectly my first time there, found the nest on the 2nd way point. Thank you so much for this information.

I got mine at: 46.6, 17.1. Took me less than 1 minute to find it after using this macro:

/way 48.0 14.2

 

/way 49.2 17.5

 

/way 47.9 19.0

 

/way 46.6 17.1

 

Just make it a macro, it's the locations for the 4 nests. Once you reach the location try to see if there is a nest close, if not, move to the next waypoint. If none of them bear results, wait awhile and try again.

I reached the area with TomTom coordinates already on, and I notice a guy killing raptors. "Ok I'll have to come back :S" I look at the points and find nothing, when I'm about to leave one last arrow points upwards. I  follow it and find the nest. In like 3 minutes. Even easier than the UnGoro one :DDD

Got this one from the south nest two days ago around midnight GMT. And came back yesterday afternoon and found another one in the west nest (close to that "stinky" questgiver). They go for around 300G at the AH.

so this one was kind of difficult because there are 3-4 nest at a time but you can only click on one and it was the one furthest back under an old tree guarded by 2 raptors fun pet though always running away

I don't know if this will help anyone else or not. I camped the area last night for an hour or so and logged off while still out there. Server maintenance was this morning and as soon as the servers were back up, I logged in a found a nest right away. Happy Hunting!! Ü

So happy! I found the nest today. I'd camped out the spawn points for a few weeks about a year ago to no avail and my main had just returned for another run at it. I logged on as my main as an afterthought before starting to level my DK some more and there was the nest! I almost danced a jig in my bedroom, I was so excited ^_^
Now I'm running around Stranglethorn for the Razzashi Hatching. 6 raptors down, 4 to go!

One of my favorite pets because I tend to like very much this fast dusty trail the pet leaves around you as if it was looking for something. Definitely fun!

For those searching for this pet, I've read, and have now experienced, that the nests spawn independently of the named mobs. They're on different timers, and the named do not trigger the nests, nor vice-versa. Don't bother searching for the named, just look at the locations shown on wowhead for the nests, and check back periodically.

Good hunting!

I would like to add that recently they have added on-click vocalizations to all the raptor mini pets which i must say is adorable and i'm enjoying the new sound file. Much better than the previous periodic squawk.

I really love this little guy. Although he doesn't respond directly on click for animation, he is incredibly lovable. If you get far enough ahead of him, he will run up to you with a trail of dust behind him. He can't help himself but not to be with you.

He was a pretty easy pet to get. It took minimal effort and I have gotten him twice.

Hunting Log, Day 14: Today my raptor hatchling expedition brings me to Dustwallow Marsh in search of Dart. Dart's a particularly fast raptor, so I've come armed with a giant turkey dinner and my favorite slow spell. My plan is to slow the beast, lull him into a false sense of security by feeding him a four-course meal, then I'll let the tryptophan do the rest. Of course, this all assumes I tag him. Everyone and their mother seems to be hunting him...
