Restless Shadeling

Not a lot of the comments I've seen mention where they are found when they spawn. You will not see any above ground, they will be in the cellars of the little ruined houses in front of the main Kara entrance(there are 2). I sat around for 20 mins waiting for Midnight, and as soon as it hit, a whole bunch of them appeared on my minimap. The nice thing was that there was only a Pally from CRZ and myself hunting for these little guys, and I'm more than certain both of us walked away with a rare.

There are two areas of Master's Celler where this thing spawns.  One stairway leads to an actual celler where only a few spawn.  Then there is another stairway nearby that leads into a winding cavern where around 15 more spawn.  Both areas are considered "Master's Celler".  Uncommon versions = 1038 health while rare versions = 1100+ health.  It's an easy way to pickup a 16 pet because you only fight the Shadeling, no other pets join the fight against you.

Just got mine today! Just for East Coast people it doesnt matter if its 12am server time and your on an east coast server you must stay up til 3am to hit midnight west coast  server time. I dont know if this was mentioned really sucked staying up for it but after the fifth battle I got my rare!

Based on comments looked for a cave nearby found one with ogres but no shadelings so flew around and found 2 opening near the raid and found a few. Look for cellar openings at 48.24, 78.31.

update: found a spawn of 6 or more in one cellar but then after an hour no more had spawned so I was pretty aggravated with blizzard. Finally 2 more spawned and the elusive rare was the last one I battled and I got him! woot

just got here at 230am EST. No shadlings underground but a TON of arcane eyes up top. Follow up post when and if I find me a shadling

update: 3:01 EST SPAWN CITY! They will all spawn 1 minute after midnight PST! Got my rare after about 9 attempts.

Did this two nights at 2AM CST.  They appear like clockwork.  They continue spawning for about 20 minutes.  Both nights I was the only one there and was able to battle (or check) every single spawn in both cellars.  The first night there wasn't a rare, but I got one the second night.

For those that are Alliance and have a flying mount, there is a nice shortcut: In Stormwind's Mage tower there is a portal to the Blasted Lands and then you just fly over the mountians.

One thing I haven't seen mentioned is that though they are level 17, you only haved to fight one of them in a battle.  There's no 2nd or 3rd pet in the fight, I guess because it's the only pet in the zone so no alternates appear.

Checked in just after midnight server time and waited around a bit. Seven or eight spawned at about six after the hour and I found a rare on my fourth fight.

What I love most about this little guy is combination of healing and damage he can do with his attacks.

They are in the staircases to the left of the meeting stone in the small houses - staircase goes down. Found a rare on the second one. 1050 HP Level 17. 

I didn't see anyone mention this, but be mindful of the cross-realm status.  Midnight local time might not be midnight server time, and it's the server time that matters.  Had to wait until 3 AM local to try for my Shadeling.  Good luck!

For some reason, Deadwind Pass is "cross-realmed" but I fly over the hill to STV and server and local time match.  le sigh.  

Note: These cellars are not in Karazhan *as i thought D:* they are two little staircases in the abandoned house to the left of the meeting stone. Logging out your char here seems a good idea, and if your high populated; Speed flasks, Aspect of the cheetah, Sprint, Roll. Anything that gets you to the battle quicker.

Went looking for mine today at 8am server time, no luck at all. Not even any other players over the four server i searched on. Early start tomorrow!!!

Thank you for saying his level, hard to find that infomation!  :-)

9.00am realm time is the switch over point. I was there today and all despawned at exactly this time.

went in with my terrible turnip and the rest of the taming crew but never did find anything over a poor ... with over 70 tries!  thank GOD i got a pet stone from one of the taming dailies to advance one to a rare!

I listened to everyones advice about going in early morning. I cleared the "Caves" over and over, night after night, and never found a rare. Came back @ 11am server time, to battle the pet tamer, and the cave was loaded; Found a rare my first try!

I know, it sucks to hear conflicting information, just sayin'

Arrived there at 8:30am Server Time (EU Server) and began battling. At exactly 09:00am the remaining ones despawned.

7:17 Server time the whole cave had tons of them up.  I battled all of them.  I found 2 greens and 0 rares. This one must have a low rare spawn rate.

Just tamed a rare H/H after 2 battles this morning @ 6:30 server (Bonechewer). Confimed it's early morning, not just the wee hours of the morning.

Snagged an Uncommon after they started spawning like clockwork at 12am PST. Uncommons are pretty frequent, so if you don't find one right away, be sure to keep trying. Remember, there are TWO cellars you can check, so if you're hunting for a rare, don't neglect the other cellar! Found a Rare with the help of a friend after approximately 60 battles.
