Lord Ahune is a high level boss that may be summoned within the Slave Pens instance.

I bought mine on the ah for only 1.9k gold!! I was so happy when I saw him up there for so little I instantly purchased him without even thinking about (not that you really had to though I mean come on!) lol

 

Best of luck to anyone that wasn't able to get him to drop. Keep your chin up and keep checking the ah! :D

1 in 20 dropchance(5%) is slightly off. According to statistics gathered on wowhead, it is 1 in 28, or 3.59% droprate. Comparably, Lumpy who is also available 15 days a year from a world event, only has a 2.94% droprate, or 1 in 34.

 

Logically, there is no reason why blizzard would differentiate between the two, if this is correct, using the statistical count on wowhead, the actual droprate for both is 3.05%.

 

I think its fair to say the droprate is programmed to be 3%.

I almost ("almost") feel bad because the person who sold this on my server did it for only 3,000g, so I snatched it up. Now there are a few on the AH, with the cheapest being 100,000g. Lucky me!

My fellow pet collectors rejoice!

I know many (self included) have struggled to obtain this guy (or other holiday pets) for years, but on Tuesday, at long last, we can simply TRADE for caged ones!

I for one will be hoping to trade one of my three Lumpys for a Frigid Frostling come Tuesday. And since pets can be caged and uncaged cross-realm, I imagine it shouldn't be too hard to find someone somewhere who'll be interested.

Never shall I have to slay Ahune for this guy again!

As with many other posters, this is my least favorite type of "hunt" for pets. I went out of my way to log in each day and queue for the run, with nothing to show for it. Maybe next year.

So, with 4 85s, I have gotten 4 Frost Scythes this year. No pets. No pets. Not a single pet... Cry cry cry. Whine. Whine. Whine. Agreed. I hate the the RNG one time a day possible drop is killing me!

I got the scorchling the first year that mid summer festival opened.
Since the frostling appeared (3 or 4 years ago???), I never missed a single day to kick Ahune's back with my 4 chars and guess what... It still on my "to get" pet list. I've got tons of capes and scythes on all my chars but that's all.
Well, I hope I will get it with the battle pet system :P (just kidding... or not ;))

Edit : Well, whine one time and the RNG God bless you. I just got the frostling today :P.

After 4 years of summoning on 7 level 85s, which is over 200+ summons, I got it on my LAST SUMMON, on MY LAST DAY of the Mid Summer Event, what is the odds of that, last day/last summon after 4 years!

This is one of the few pets that still elude me. However since our toons will be able to share pets in MoP, I'm doing Lord Ahune every day on every one of my 85s. ONE of them must surely get one!

Another year without getting him 8(
The Wow gods hate me!
I thought they figured out a way to make everyone happy with holiday pets? you work hard and buy them with the holiday currency like Peddlefeet, so if you don't want a pet you don't have to put in the time.

that damn... little slippery... disappoing... two years...... *sob* bwhaaa! *snort*

There should definetely be a more satisfying way to obtain seasonal pets like this one. I'm not talking of increased drop-rates here - rather, I'd love to see something only the dedicated collectors do (read: us), but isn't that RNG-dependent. Something that takes a fair amout of time (or skill!), and no one that doesn't appreciate pets (read: is in their right mind) would ever do.

First year trying for this, and first year failing miserably, despite pugging it every single day.
Got two frostscythes though... pointless on my Elemental Shaman.

I'm in accord with Quintessence. This is a foolish way to dole out a reward.

I have been here for every festival.When it was possible, I farmed for the scorchling. When they changed it to the frostling - same deal, at least once a day every day of the festival.Never got my scorchling, nor the frostling so far this year. Although my hunter is a proud owner of 3 versions of Scythes (even tho she can't use them). I might add I cannot get that Scythe on my girlies that can use it, but they have multiple ice chips. Random Loot is my enemy!I need my Frostling in the worst way.

Ahune has never granted me any luck. He never granted me a Searing Scorchling. He never granted me a Frigid Frostling last year. This year has been no luck as well. I REALLY hope I can get this pet before the festival ends this year.. /: I need to hoard some four leaf clovers for luck or something! ;___;
07.04.11 - Of course I didn't get the pet this year... as usual. I have the WORST luck with Ahune.. ugh I hate Blizzard's "grab bags" ):

Disappointed that Ahune no longer has a Scorchling to snag? Unfortunately the Scorchling literally burned him up inside. He only kept it because it melted his heart (again, literally). So now, without a heart, he prefers the cold comfort of the Frigid Frostling. And this Frostling has quite a 'chip' on his shoulder since no one seems to want him. But give him a chance... he can make everyday feel like Winter Veil, snow what I mean?
