Add On That Tells If A Rare Was Killed Today?

Ok that was a tangent - back to my real question: Is there an add on that tells me upon log on if Time-Lost or Vyragosa has been killed on my server today / when?
I know that _NPCScan will have that red 'x' to the right of a mob's name if they have been killed since the last server restart.
is it possible to engage something in mid air after using Snowfall Lager
I'm sure if you used some sort of instant ranged attack (I don't play a rogue, but don't they have that Deadly Throw thing?) it would tag them. Try positioning yourself in front of the mob, dismount, get an attack in, then use the Slow Fall.
Is there no way to target Vyra / Time-Lost and see them on mini map?
Unless you're a hunter and have Track Dragonkin, no. There are currently no foods that give you the Track Dragonkin buff. I know _NPCScan automatically sets a triangle on your target. Looking for that is the best you can do.

As far as I know, the Red X signifies that the creature is in your cache. The importance of this is the fact that NPC Scan detects when an NPC is added to your cache. As such, if you've already seen that mob, NPC Scan won't alert you ever again for that same mob until you clear the cache.
Besides, rare spawns coming back on restart is, last I checked, a myth.

Thanks for clearing that up. The way _NPCScan words it is sort of odd.
TC, you can always try asking in trade, on your server forums, or general chat.

When I got him, I just flew through him. He aggroed on me and followed me to the ground where I proceeded to pound him. Love the mount. It's all I use these days.

First, I will suggest you do a little more research if you really want the TLPD. There is a TON of it around, not just here on Wowhead. I will also give ya a couple tidbits of info:
He has 4 verified spawn points. If you really want him, you basicly have to camp at 1 of these points and hope thats where he spawns. If you sit at the exact right spot, he will automaticly aggro you as soon as he spawns.
He also has very well documented flight paths if you just cant bring yourself to sit in one spot for, well, eternity. Assuming there are no other players camping the spawns, you could fly around the paths and herb or mine, or just be doing SOMETHING while waiting.
Now, thats the good news, as that is what is known. The bad news is.....no one knows when he will spawn. All that has been verified is he WILL NOT spawn for at least 6 hours after a Vyragosa kill. So if you see Vyra go down, you at least have 6 hours to do something else, like sleep. Aside from that, his spawn time is COMPLETELY random, it may be 6 hours, it may be 6 days, although the concensus is that its usually between 6 and 22 hours later.
Server resets have NOTHING to do with his spawn, they dont guarantee it, cause it, or prevent it. They do not reset the 6 hour window either.
One last thing, there is a limit of how many rares can be up at any 1 time in NR, and the TLPD is included in that limit, so doing a little research on other NR rares and hunting them down and killing them would, at least in theroy, help your chances of seeing him.
Good luck hunting him down. He is not something to set your sights on lightly as you have discovered. If you really are focused on getting him, you will have to give up most other aspects of the game, or just hope to get EXTREMLY lucky.

That really Sucks! I have been camping for a month now and I have meet a few people also camping for him... I met one guy who had only been playing wow for 3 months and had found and got Time-lost the First time he went into Storm Peaks... Its stories like these that make me want to quit. But I press on. So, good Luck to you! ... oh and one question.... Have the nightmares started?(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##Squishalot##DELIM##Please do not necro old threads.

I currently have NPC Scan installed and NPC Overlay. Yesterday I killed Vyragosa however, I noticed that it doesn't display on my mini map and it was sort of hard for me to find him (I had to just fly around a bunch) Is there no way to target Vyra / Time-Lost and see them on mini map?
NPCScan does do something to your mini map. It highlights the area with a large semi-opaque circle the same color as NPCOverlay has the pathing of the rare it hits. The rare is in that area. You will notice that you will also have a little box at the bottom of your screen with a model and a green raid marker over its head. Click that model and it will target the rare and add the green "panty" raid market to the mob. DO NOT CLOSE THE BOX TIL YOU ARE DONE. If you do, that adds it to your cache and removes the overlay pathing.
I've done Bloody Rare and have four mobs left in Frostbitten and this has always been the case. Good luck on TLPD, I've never even seen a dead one.
Oh, one last bug... Putricide will pop NPCScan anywhere in Northrend, so if he pops up and you are not in Icecrown, you can run up there if you want him, or just close the box and move along.
EDIT:.... Just noticed NECRO, but still relevant info. Delete if need be.(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##Squishalot##DELIM##I've locked the thread, but that's more because we've got the TLPD thread for discussing that rare in particular, and the UI and Macros forum for more general add-on discussion. It'd be great if you can continue to add value to the community over there.
