These beautiful drakes can be found across the shores of Northrend.
When I went looking for one I didn't see any. Flew over by Mistwhisper Refuge and one was there. It was a rare. Was able to beat all 3 completely with my level 22 Darkshore Cub.
The Emerald Proto-Whelp did little damage (my bear was only down around 200hp after the entire battle without using Hibernate). Mainly healed himself a lot with Emerald Dream and then Ancient Blessing.
I was fighting these for a while (got an uncommon, but no rare). There seemed to be an endless supply at the time, but then they just vanished. I waited around for a while, but no more spawned. Strange.
I've farmed this guy a few times because I love him so much. Be patient, they'll spawn.
Performance-wise, he's easily my favorite pet, and has been for several months. I use him as a "ringer" for leveling new pets and doing the dailies. Played properly, he's almost impossible to kill (in PvE).
I use a Breed 4/14 (full DPS) with Emerald Bite, Ancient Blessing, and Emerald Dream. This gives him fairly good DPS and absolutely stellar heals.
I stalked the area for awhile and saw no spawns. My que for my raid poped so I went in and when the raid was done I came out hovering over one and he was a rare. Fate smiled on me.
Rocked up to the savage thicket, spotted about 7 of them all poor but one common attack breed which I caught and shall use my battle-stone on :D
I also notice that the whelp isn't on the safari list yet
Just got my yesterday at about 7pm server time on Dragonblight. Poor Quality but couldnt care less. I saw two at once but someone else got the other. Stoning this pet as soon as I get a dragon stone.
It makes the creepiest noise I love it!
This lil bugger was a bit of a brat when i fought my first one it kept healing itself lol...then i realized he was a rare and he was the first i encountered. there was about 5 up on Blade's Edge at 4pm.
I am a bit of a newb at collecting and don't really know what is a rare spawn or not. I was flying about today and saw an area with pets I had not collected on it, so I swooped down and grabbed the one paw I saw. Lucky me! I got a poor one, but that is what the stones are for, right?
Flew into the scorched area of Scholozar, and to my surprise there were about 7 of them spawned up in one area. I only engaged two, got an uncommon and a rare. Cute little bug, imo.
After reading some of the comments, I made sure to level my team a bit before going after this pet (I engaged with two level 24's and a 23). There were no others on my server looking for this pet, surprisingly. Mine spawned just outside the burning trees, but I was hovering high enough with my minimap zoomed all the way out that I saw the green paw. I lucked out that it was a rare. They are pro's at healing themselves over and over, so be prepared for a fight.
So mad right now!!! After farming this guy for days i went to check and FINALLY there was one and better yet it was a RARE!! Well i have 3 lv 25 rares with me and i couldnt even get the whelp to below 30% this healing is just ridiculous!!! Needless to say i will once again be farming for hours for this little monster...
Found an Uncommon Whelp when I came to the area. It was on the far West side of the Thicket, right at the edge. It was the only one in the area and it wasn't too difficult to tame. The Whelps do have a healing ability so you may want to keep that in mind while battling. The Primordial Drakes are also in the vicinity, some flying and some on the ground, so you may want to take those out before you begin battling. :3
got 1 of these it's only an uncommon but for the 1st 1 i found after like 10 minutes of flying in circles and cleared everything in the area which then he spawned i'm not gonna complain
A rare quality of any breed (tho atk breed is best) will destroy pve pet battles. Able to solo most max level wild pet battles as low as lvl20, and at lvl25 able to solo many of the tamer battles. Definately one to use a stone on if you aren't lucky with rare spawns.
I read JuneMoone's post and thought I'd try it. Killed 1 drake and whelp spawned right next to me.
i found one just doing the sharpening your talons quest and it was rare maybe i was just lucky
Caught this little guy yesterday. Not alot of people seem to know he is a new capture. Caught at 3:05pm on Stormreaver. I was the only person in the area.
These are EXTREMELY rare to find at all it seemed when I went after them today. Slaughtered everything I could to see if it helped with spawning, but nothing happened right away.
Maybe it was because I had just finished off Broodmother Slivina, the golden elite in the area, but it wasn't long afterwards that I found a RARE.
Time was around 5:20pm realm time.
*edit* Noticed that there were no other spawns after my battle.
Good luck in your hunting!
Found 6-8 just wandering around unmolested in the Savage Thicket (near 45, 25).
WARNING: Very resilient if they have both Emerald Dream & Ancient Blessing ready, keep a humanoid or undead pet at the ready unless you want to spend all day on one battle, lol.Killed Primordial Drakes for 5 minutes and bam one spawned :)
