Patch 4.0.3 | Posted: December 7, 2010
This pet drops off of Jadefang, a rare spider located within the Crumbling Depths caves of Deepholm. To gain access to the rarespawn requires the use of an item provided from the Therazane faction daily, Underground Economy. See our Community Guide: Tiny Shale Spider for details.
With a bit of ingenuity, engineers can also utilize Nitro Boosts to reach Jadefang. The belt enchant will sometimes malfunction and launch the player into the air, offering another way up into the rarespawn's cave.

The elemental shale spider is no true arachnid, but it has durability and ferocity that make it feared even in Deepholm.
I found this video helpful since I wasn't entirely sure where I needed to be. I waited a week before the quest ever showed up and saw my npc scan go off 3 times before the daily underground economy was available from ricket(inside the crumbling depths) (you cannot see her when the quest isn't available). You cannot track her from above as a hunter or with any buff. You have to into the cave to find her. After I got the quest I followed the instructions!
As a Hunter I was torn betweenw tameing Jadefang or the pet!
A Hordie made the decison for me by killing jadefang little did they know I had already taged it.
I didn't know about this pet until the rare warning came up for Jadefang, and I looked up information about it after wandering the Crumbling Depths Caves in vain. By the time I figured out how to get up into that alcove (I used the bomb method), Jadefang was gone (killed I guess). So I simply logged there and checked back the next morning and there she was! The pet was a drop after killing Jadefang.
edit - ok so 2 days later I'm still here....i GUARANTEE it spawned when I was at work....
Finaly just picked it up! Been camping there for a couple of weeks. Checking in the morning and at night. Got it at little after 1 AM!
I have been camping this thing on and off for weeks...and nothing.
This pet can be farmed in bulk (for selling/trading) if you can spare an 80+ alt. While getting to the spot where the rare spawns requires a certain daily quest, you can just camp your alt there. Check for the rare spawn each time you log on or off, and you'll get a bunch of these with minimal effort.
Found this little guy in a Misty Satchel of Exotic Mysteries :) Comes from lfg when healers or tanks are really needed.
Oh wow, 2 days of camping and I found him!
Please do have patience, he will drop for you!
Got him in Ah for 1.2 k score!!!
Just got him. Camped a couple hours last night, logged off...when i came back there she was.
I did the Therazane quest string long ago so was unable to use the bomb to get up there. I did the turn the wifi of and on trick to fly all the way in. Worked perfectly. Feel like a cheater...alittle.
