28.07.2012 Argent Dawn EU - Thelgrim 85 lvl hunter.
After 1 and ½ - 2 week camping (im sorry that lost count in days since i will feel depressed to know excact amount days spend camping) 10 hours a day semi-hardcore camping when possible.
2 Xariona, 2 Bloodseeker and 0 Aeonaxx spawn/engaged sighting.
Mount used was
Headless Horseman's Mount
.
Engaged Aeonaxx about 17:48 server time at coordinates 47,57.
I make haste to it (6-10seconds flight) and mount it while no other visible players seen. After around 3-5 seconds i get dissmounted with parachute (no parachute buff seen on buff bars) and Aeonaxx dissappear. I had no pet outside since ive dismissed it before start of camping. I fall down to Deepholm ground and send support ticket inhope for rematch (im feeling odds same as in lottory).
Be warned fellow campers out there. Waiting for Game Master to send info what went wrong.
***Update*** Got forum and ingame support ticket reply. Short answer its bug, better luck next time.***Update***

Ouch, a similar situation happened to a guildie in Agammagan. He had been camping Aeonaxx for a few weeks, and when the drake finally spawned the most unfortunate thing happened. NPCScan went off, and he began to pursue the drake. After spotting Aeonaxx he finally mounted the him, and as soon as he did the drake despawned.
He quit WoW for about 5 months after talking to a GM who told him there was nothing Blizz could do, and to try again. >.<

Realm: Alonsus EU
Character: Jezzebelpop lvl 85
Time spotted: Approximately 16:35 PM Realm time 15:35 GMT+0 31/07/12
Co-ords: I don't have the add-on but it was in the North East spawn.
For once a rare that I just caught at the exact right time. Camped for weeks previously with no luck, went to go to Stonecore for Slabhide and there it is, waiting for me!
Tough luck to the camper I passed, they were AFK at the wrong time. :/ I know how gutting that feeling of just missing something like this is. Hope they get him soon!

Got him yesterday in front of the stone core. I had been camping for 2 weeks. It was thanks to all the forums and all the helpful posts, that I stayed for so long. It was 8:33 Gnomer server US.

Been camping him for months on US-Zul'Jin (started may 14) and still have yet to get him.
so far ive gotten 8 bats, 9 xarionas and 5 comfirmed aeonaxx sightings (+3 uncomfirmed ones)
the last confirmed sighting was on June 25, so I hope to see him again soon... if I can get lucky that is.
Its been a good 450 hours in deepholm however, so hopefully the rng gods bless me soon, i shall update this if i get any sightings.

Ok guys, i dont know from were im gonna start.
Info:

Aeonaxx killed 2012-08-11 12:40 -
Well some days ago i decided to kill Aeonaxx for the awesome mount drop. I promised myself to camp him max 8 days. I got a wife and son and they was gone to visit her syster for 8 days:) so thats why 8 days, 8 days to get that mount.
Day 1
Camped him for around 7 hours. Not much i know but it was my first serious camp day. No Aeonaxx or Blood Seeker. Jadefang was up, killed him. Some say that if you kill rares it will make other rates spawn faster. Well tbh i dont belive that but i did not have anything better so i killed all rares in the Deepholm area wich was up.
Day 2
Camped almost 19 hours. No Aeonaxx or Blood Seeker. Just Jadefang.
Day 3
Im was so tired since i did camp for almost 21 hours. I was soooo damn tired, wanted to sleep but nonono. No Aeonaxx or Blood Seeker. Just that Jadefang ( stardet to hate him).
Day 4
Im was so tired, camped 15 hours and still no Aoenaxx or Blood Seeker. Those 4 days, i just did see dome random player on / who list never same. They was doing quest or Dailys. Good for me but no damn mount.
Day 5
When i woke up after som hours sleep, i felt that this day is the day i get my precious mount. I camped around 12 hours no damn Aeonaxx or Blood Seeker. Just that fucing Jadefang aggain. I got so damn angry so i decided to log my alt and do a quick run in Storm Peak for TLPD. Was flying around the area a bit and was thinking about maybe Aeonaxx has spawned. I got scared so i press ESC and logging out, 2 sec left, BOOOOM NPC- Scan goes on, TLPD- i was like WTF, got chocked and ofc im so stupid, instead of cancel log out im trying to target.......... Logging out, i was like ffffffuuuuc, logging in fast aggain,did not take more then 5 sec to log in. Coming online, there he is, someone is looting him:(((((((((((( why me god why meeeeeee. How can i have such unluck. Anyways i was so angry so i logget out and logged main for Aeonaxx. Nothing there like usual.
Day 6
I was tired, angry, hungry, feeling very bad about the loss of TLPD. I decided to give up at around 01:00 at night. Suddenly the servers goes off, and i read on forums that dome EU servers are down. Well thats it for me, i went to sleep. I did sleep almost, 9 hours and it felt awesome. I did start my computer and decided to just put my char mear stonecore entrence and just go afk. I was done, did not have any power or mode left to sit on my comp anymore especillay when there was 4 ppl in the area who was looking for him and 1 was afking were i was, i felt line, even if he spawns now, im not gonna have chance to get it. Anyways ,I did go and just moved myself out of AFK 2-3 times. I was in the bathroom, and i just got a feeling, to chek my computer in sametine i think i did hear something, but was not sure. Im going to my comp with my damn pants off, BOOOOOM Fuuuuuuuuuuuccc Aeonaaaaaxxx. I could not belive it. This must be a fucing dream. My NPC-Scan was almost at the end of the sound, how the hell could i not hear it? And how the hell had noone mounted him? Ofc i forgot turn the speaker on to louder. Anyways, he was below Stonecore entrence. Until i did go down to him, ooommmg, those secs felt like hours. Clicked and killed him. My precious mount, i could not belive this. I GOT THE MOUNT. I did a who check, only 2 players on the list and the guy who was camping near me was offline:)))) luck luck luck
Anyways guys, i wanted to share this with you. Belive and dont give up. I have been looking on sooo many videos and sooo many guides/ posts on forums about Aeonaxx. Even if its just a mount, the feeling to get something you want is priceless. I know im Lucky, ppl camp this for several moths. Dont give up, i almost did but im happy i did stay.
Sorry for my bad english.
Good luck guys
And this is first time ever i post something about wow.

Approx. 9:30 PM Eastern Daylight Time, Saturday
Spawn directly in front of temple entrance, very low - clearly visible at the doorway.
Lvl 85 BM Hunter, ilvl 393
My story:
About a month after Cata was released, I was cruising around Deepholm farming herbs and NPC_scan went off. There was Aeonaxx directly in front of me, low to the ground, in front of the entrance to Stonecore. I tried to race after him but he was flying very fast and I couldn't catch him. After a moment I saw why: he was already mounted by a blood elf, almost dead but still flying. I watched the elf kill and loot him, feeling pretty sorry for myself. I've wanted this mount since I first found out about him, more than any other mount I've seen.
That was the last time I saw him. I spend a lot of time in Deepholm farming cloth and herbs. A LOT of time. I camped him off and on all during this time, but mostly I just went about my business, figuring that if it was meant to be it would happen. In the meantime, I kept seeing people with the drake (feeling that hideous twinge of jealousy every single time) and every time I saw him I wanted him more. The real kicker was when a friend of mine who wasn't even looking for him got him after popping out of a dungeon run.
I pretty much gave up. I went after other mounts, and got involved in other stuff. For a long while every time I went to Deepholm I had that faint hope in the back of my mind that I'd spot Aeonaxx, but it never happened. So I quit hoping.
Yesterday I needed herbs and cloth and decided to make a quick run to Deepholm before I logged. I popped through the portal and NPC_scan went off. I couldn't believe it when the little pic of Aeonaxx popped up. I got to the door of the temple and there he was, directly in front of me, not much higher than the door. I hopped on my mount and took off towards him, hoping like crazy that nobody else would reach him first, got really nervous and hit the wrong button - and dismounted in mid-air, almost killing myself. I mounted up again and headed towards Aeonaxx again - and for some reason couldn't get in position to hit the green arrow. FINALLY, I got on him. The fight lasted about two minutes. The whelps didn't even do enough damage to get me down 5000 hp. I one-shot them and blasted away at Aeonaxx. His hp went down VERY fast (I was shocked at how easy it was) and bless him, he started going down in a nice bare patch near the crimson area. After it was all over, I was numb. A year and a half I waited, gave up hope - and finally had him practically drop in my lap.
I just want to say to everybody: Don't ever give up. It may take a year or even longer. But don't give up. If you really want him, one day when you least expect it he'll show up and you'll get him. Keep wanting him. SAY you want him, out loud. I think the one thing that will kill your chances more than anything else is getting bitter or cynical about it. I stopped hoping but I never stopped wanting. This has happened to me so many times in this game with rare mounts, pets, armor, whatever.
Notes:
Hunters, you don't have to dismiss your pets; as soon as you mount up to go after him your pet disappears anyway.
I'm at 165k hp and never dropped below 160 the entire time. I don't know if Aeonaxx has been nerfed or what, but I expected a much harder battle than I got. The whelps will hit you but it's very weak and you can one-shot them easily. Just don't forget to re-target Aeonaxx after you kill them.
My friend (fury warrior) told me that you were supposed to turn around and face his tail to kill him. I'm not sure if this makes a difference or not as I kept facing forward and managed to kill him easily.
I used mostly arcane shot and cobra shot (to keep up focus); there really was no reason to use anything else. Just keep shooting.
Try and time it so that he can drop someplace where it will be easy for you to loot him. Someone told me that when they killed him he landed on the side of a cliff and they had a terrible time getting to him after. It's pretty easy to time your kill; just watch his hp and keep an eye on where you are.
I was lucky that there was nobody else around when he spawned. After I killed him a couple people showed up but I think they were just curious. I couldn't believe that I was the only one after him; I was very very lucky in that regard.
Don't give up. Keep trying, keep looking. I know I sound like Little Mary Sunshine, but it's true: you have to really truly WANT him to get him - and you have to be patient. It took me well over a year and a half, but it was definitely worth the wait! I'm still sort of in shock. This is going to be my favorite mount for a very long time.
Don't give up!

Approximately 12:30 -1:00 pm server time (11:30 am -12 pm my time)
I do usual checks for him expecting nothing, went in today and npcscan goes off, I expect him to be dead or taken before i get to him. I fly using the spawn points on npcscan overlay, and reach the NW spawn point on map and there I find him untouched.
I as a protection warrior (ilvl 400) had no issues with him or the adds, dealing damage, and getting him down. I agree, get him to a spot where there's no ledges or anything, I almost made this fatal flaw as when I killed him, he sort of landed on the side of a ledge and I fell down to a section below where I couldn't loot him. Luckily I flew back up and was able to loot him.
Lucky that I was on a pretty low population server, as there wasn't really anyone farming for it, but don't give up, it's a cool looking mount and well worth any effort I'd say.

i have a question, ive been camping aeonaxx for a long, long time, and if i kill other rares that spawn close to him, does the increase, or decrease the chance of him spawning?
There is nothing that increases or decreases the chance of him spawning. It's a random spawn, meaning that you don't affect it at all; it spawns like a roll of the dice (assuming you're using non-loaded dice.)
In the beginning there were reports on some servers that he didn't spawn for a couple weeks at a time and then suddenly spawned two days in a row. Others were saying it was every six hours, or every eight hours or every twelve hours. Some said it was tied to Xariona, many others have supposedly tied the spawning to the bat, Bloodseeker.
You can take all of it as you will, but the truth is, nobody KNOWS for sure when he's going to spawn because it's up to the game. I know people who have camped him solidly for weeks (months, years) at a time and haven't seen hide nor hair of him (does he have hair? maybe not...) and others who have had him pop up for them the first few times they were ever in Deepholm, even though they weren't looking for him. Thus, the variety of posts here about how some people have gotten the drake and others have camped for years and not gotten him.
Don't give up. Keep camping, keep watching and checking - and pay attention to that little impulse that says "Hey, maybe I'll just check in for Aeonaxx before I go to sleep..."
It took me over a year and a half to get this drake, and I wanted him really bad. In all that time I had only seen him once before (as he was being killed by someone else.) On the other hand, the Time Lost Proto Drake was my very first drake, completely by accident - I was looking for Skoll.

I finally saw Aeonaxx on the Tanaris-US server after pulling an allnighter at about 5:30 am.... The NPC Scan went off and I ran around like a chicken with my head cutt off because I could not target him, When I finally targeted him he was already engaged... After two long weeks this was a dissapointed but I plan to sit RIGHT here untill the end of time.... SDFUfajkshbdfahfdsgdf/dfhgDFGSDANEWJTN34634NGENRBVEDY34JT34FGJERNG (Face Smash)
Add NPC_Scan Overlay. It shows the actual pathing of the any rare mob. When it goes off, the addon imprints a semi-opaque circle (its the same color as whatever the path is) on your minimap that shows exactly where the mob ID hit was made.
