A brash fel orc once tried to enslave these critters as his personal soldiers. Pieces of him are still scattered across Outland.
After months of searching for a Rare and only finding Uncommons, today at 4:50 AM (server time on Doomhammer) I finally found and caught one!
I don't know if this is of any importance, but after having fought all the non rares that were up I was a bit frustrated and killed everything in the area, as far as the actual creatures. Ravagers and Flayers alike fell to my hunter's arrows. After having done that a new Flayer Youngling popped up and it was a Rare!
Good luck in your search, don't give up!
went back and forth a few times and only 1 came up poor but got it.
I have been flying around for 10 minutes on the Ridge and havent seen a single one. Pointers?
I guess rares of this one are pretty common from what Ive read here. And they spawn quickly too. Just a few passes around the path and I found a few commons and then a rare.
Also, I caught it at 3am IRL, just to add to the time sensitive discussion going on.
6:53pm st on Trollbane. Found a Rare 1st chance on the RISE. Good location!
I do strongly recommend to look first at Razorthorn Rise.
I had no luck on Razorthorn shelf, but when I checked Razorthorn Rise I found an Uncommon.
This pet took me FOREVER to find originally, NOW I have TWO rares! (my only wild caught Duplicate) he USED to be way OP, but like most things he got nerfed BAD in 5.2, still decent, but not like he was..... I named my 1st one "Bobby Flayer" and him I will level to 25, the spare Imma keep the way I found him-
start at cords. 46.7 / 7.0. I found a huge spawn there. Had to fly to it. Found one rare in the bunch, but alas I forgot to heal my pets and lost the battle
go early in the morning i found 4 just walking around .
Think I was pretty lucky, I got my rare on my 2nd battle. I had to traverse the area about 4 times tho to find a pet to battle. Captured on Razorthorn Rise (47.9, 6.3) 5:30pm server. Think he looks pretty cool, might be one of my new favorites to keep out.
I just caught a rare one after a good few commons in a row. Easily caught with the work of my fluxfire.
I found mine in a in between area fomr Helfire and Terrokare Forest. I was a long the mountain side of Terrokare then I went up and founf an area where there were so many flayers that you could kill. Then I looked on my mini map and saw on Flayer Youngling. It was an uncommon and I hope this info helps anyone whose having trouble! Happinng Hunting!! :D
Was expecting to have trouble getting this, went on my ~60 char and saw 2 green paws, was killed by flayers, when I came back there's no paws and a ~90 horde char stood there, I was pissed. But I just logged my main, flew over and caught one straight away, one trip from end to end of Razorthorn Rise and I had a rare :) About 6-7 battles
On the ptr (5.2) Flayer is changing. Reflection becomes Deflection. It only blocks spells and does no damage. Focus appears to do next to nothing and those 3 attack Triple Snaps are rare. 1 attack Triple Snaps are common. Abilities like a moth's Cocoon Strike will completely block Triple Snap...
Interestingly enough, the in-game pet journal lists this pet as a Hellfire Penninsula pet, though this website lists it as a Terokkar forest one.
I am such an idiot! For 2 weeks I tried in vain and never saw a single one. Then I figured out that I was searching in the wrong place! Went to the right place and found 1 poor spawned. Then I switched servers and found 1 spawned there, but it was a rare! :-) So a happy ending...
BTW it just hit 20 and can take out three non-rares in a single battle.
I have found this critter 6 or 7 times and every time it was poor quality. Now, I don't expect Blizzard to make an abundance of rare or even uncommon, but every one a poor? Come on, Blizzard!
Update: I finally got an uncommon...now if only I could get a rare. lol
Flew by around 1030pm (EST) with no luck, went back by half hour later and found ONE uncommon one ready to be caught. It may not be a rare one, but with the way this lil guy likes to hide, I'll take what I can get for now.
Had a very lucky moment and flew to the are and just my luck there was only one spawned and it was a rare. 6:26 irish time :) best of luck
