Got it today at 08:21 am Europe on Well of Eternity server, very nice Mount. It spawned in front of me, straight direct in front of the Stonecore entrance.
Post by
GrizzlyUK
Server: Hellscream - EU
Date/Time: 7th May 2013, approx 5.00 am
Character: lvl 90 hunter
I'd just taken the portal to Deepholm to go Stonecore and start farming Slabhide for the Vitreous Stone Drake. As soon as I arrived in Deepholm I was warned by SilverDragon that it had found a rare and it popped it's target frame for Aeonaxx! In total surprise I clicked on the frame and straight away was targetting Aeonaxx! I frantically ran out, mounted up and started looking to see where he was. Leaving the Temple I went left and immediately lost him, quickly did a U-turn and re-acquired him, he was at the SW spawn location, slowly flying in what seemed to be a circle. I very quickly flew close enough to enable the "mount" cursor, all the time fully expecting someone else to have mounted him. But there didn't seem to be anyone else around so once in range I clicked on him to jump on and begin the "fight". SilverDragon popped it's target frame for Aeonaxx but I just ignored that and started attacking, while he flew northwards I was watching for the whelps to spawn, when one did I just hit them with a single Arcane Shot and then returned to attacking Aeonaxx.
It didn't really take very long, maybe 3 or 4 minutes (possibly even less), I only had 3 whelps spawn but soon enough Aeonaxx died and I was falling to the ground with a parachute. Once I landed I looted Aeonaxx to claim my reward.
I haven't been camping nor have I spent any time searching, I was just simply in the right place at the right time, in the same way that I got Time-Lost Proto-Drake.

After 8 days of extremely hardcore camping, i finally got this beautiful mount today at
3:02pm
at
Frostwhisper EU
server time. And as far as i know, Frostwhisper share
crossrealm with Ragnaros and Neptulon
here. Both EU ofc.
I've only seen two Blood Seeker spawns, and two Aeonaxx spawns. The first time i was too late and a paladin from Neptulon got it before I did. But today, luck was on my side. I am the happiest girl in World of Warcraft! lol

I'm curious about 1 thing?
Does anyone know the command to type in the chat box to see if a rare NPC has already spawned in game so we aren't wasting so much time.
I know if the name of the NPC displays Purple and looks like a link it has not spawned and if the name is white then it has. Please, Please, Please if anyone knows the /command let me know.
I have killed 3 weeks of camping with no luck. Feel like I'm going to loose my mind.
I do have NPC scan and Overlay.
Thanks for the help.
Nothing came up in my search when I typed in command for rare NPC spawns.

You are aware you need to clear WoW's creature cache in order for npcscan to work optimally?
Inside your WoW directory, navigate through Cache/WDB/enUS/creaturecache.wdb
Delete this file and hey presto, your npcscan will be fresh and shiny and new. No need to worry about what is or isn't scanned already. As far as I'm aware, doing this semi-regularly is absolutely necessary for anyone using it, but if anyone knows of updates that have changed this, I'd be delighted.

Yea I know that much but I run windows 8 and not sure if its an issue with the files but I don't have that folder to delete the cache. I had it on my old computer but not this 1. Trying to figure it out.

Let me start off by saying that i previously tried camping aeonaxx for about 3 to 4 months after cata, averaging anywhere from 10-18 hours a day, But gave up. I figured i would also write a Post as When i was camping for aeonaxx i really did enjoy reading most of the comments.
About 2 weeks ago I started to camp for Aeonaxx again, I camped in-between the NW1/NW2, below are the journal entries The first set are on a CRZ realm, and the second are on a NoN-CRZ realm, i switched to a non CRZ realm as i did lose aeonaxx on one then more occasion because of CRZ:
Day 1: Bloodseeker at 11am/10 hour camp
Day 2: Nothing/ 12 Hour camp
Day 3: Aeonaxx killed @ 1pm, SE1, By horde/3 hour camp
Day 4: Nothing/20 hour camp
Day 5: Nothing/4 hour camp
Day 6: Aeonaxx killed @ SW1, by alliance/19 hour camp
Day 7: Aeonaxx killed @ 1 am, NE1, By horde/6 hour camp
Day 9: Aeonaxx killed @ 10am,NW1, Missed by miliseconds, Killed by unknown(Phased out)/21 hour camp
Xfered to Non-CRZ realm:
Day 1: Nothing/-15 hour camp
Day 2: 9:15pm aeonaxx spawned/SE1/15 hour camp.
Day 3: Nothing/ 8 hour camp
Day 4: killed at 3:15pm AT NE1, 12 Hour camp.
Day 5: Nothing/14 hour camp.
Day 6: Nothing/15 hour camp
Day 7: Nothing/20 hour camp
DAY 8: Nothing/22 Hour camp
Day 9: Nothing/18 hour camp
Day 10: I Got aeonaxx at 4:30pm ,7 hour camp
A lot of the time while waiting, i was playing Xbox 360 or watching movies.
Side notes: Take off guild sync in silver dragon(Gets very annoying).

I must ask, does Aeonaxx show up on hunter tracking? As a dragonkin, green dot, perhaps?
Post by
Wolf123
Yes he does, according to other hunters i asked.

Hello guys!
I have something to tell you: JUST GOT MY AEONAXX ! :DDDD
Camped for a week and 2 days, a total of 9 days and almost 200h. I just want to tell you to don't give up,really. That may be a insane camping, and also fustrating but let me tell you something: THERE'S NOTHING BETTER THAN THE FEELING THAT YOU MADE IT.
I've been trough a ninja, who stole aeonaxx in front of my eyes once while he was camping for 30 minutes for everyday ( i spent a lot of hours everyday! NOT FAIR !)
The point is that those comments helped me a lot and gave me the strenght to keep moving on. I had 2 CHARACTERS camping in DEEPHOLM, so i could cover the 6 spawning points. Both toons were in a party and my main character was the master looter. Well, my alt account mounted on him i just needed to take care about killing aeonaxx right in front of my main so i could loot it. AEONAXX SPEED WHEN YOU MOUNT HER IS SOMETHING ABOUT 500% so that may be very difficult.
I recorded some camp data, really hope it helps you guys :
- BLOOD-SEEKER 18:56 20/08/2013 - SW2
= 7 H 33 MIN
- BLOOD-SEEKER 02:29 21/08/2013 - NW2
= 14 H 19 MIN
- AEONAXX 16:48 21/08/2013 - NW1 (Arckis-Azralon)
- ? after 22:48 - RESPAWN UNSEEN
- BLOOD-SEEKER 19:46 22/08/2013 - NW2
- ? A PARTIR DAS 24:46 - RESPAWN UNSEEN
- BLOOD SEEKER 21:14 23/08/2013 - NW 2
=6H19MIN
- BLOOD SEEKER 03:33 24/08/2013 - NW 2
=7h29MIN
- AEONAXX 11:24 24/08/2013 - NW 2
DON'T GIVE UP !

My guildie Yamithun and I went on a 4 hour rampage looking for Aeonaxx. We never did get him.
It was very upsetting to me as I was new and wanted a dragon mount more then anything at that time. I was all over the place trying to get one. I haven't the patients to wait for something that long. The only way I think that I would ever get Aeonaxx is by luck if he was to spawn within my 4 hours is too much window.
Instead I settled for the Bronze dragon and had never gotten Aeonaxx... I feel this time around I will be a bit luckier since I know the spawn points.
What is this about Aeonaxx phasing out, would somebody explain that one to me please?

A lot of people have reported a phasing issue where, once Aeonaxx is engaged by another player, he phases out for everyone except that person (and potentially any party members).
However, I'm not sure that this is always the case, as I just started camping him as hardcore as I can with having college classes a week ago. The only spawn I've seen was engaged by an Undead Mage, but as an Alliance I was able to follow the tagged Aeonaxx all the way until the Horde killed him. (And I congratulated him several times; I play a hunter and saw his dot when I first started camping, so I know he had probably been camping longer than I had.) It has nothing to do with being on the same server; I just looked up his armory and he is on Zul'jin, where my worgen hunter lives on Malygos.
As far as the long camps, I struggle with that, too. Here are some suggestions for making it a little more bearable:
-Do pet battles in the area. You can level pets, and abandon if you hear your Silverdragon or NPCScan go off (personally I prefer SD, but I run both to be safe).
-Read a book or work on something else. I'm a college student so I'll often just leave the volume on and pull up some homework in a half- or 3/4-screen window so that I can see my SD alert on the side of the screen. I know others who watch TV or even knit while waiting.
-Find someone to talk to. Either a wow friend, a guildmate, or even another camper. I've had several times - mostly while camping Loque and Karoma - where I talked to other campers for hours. Often other campers are just as bored as you are. (That being said, don't just randomly spam /w every person you see...I usually just whisper a person if I happen to see them camping nearby.)
-Play solitaire or another computer game (never in a full-screen window though), or play games on your smartphone or tablet. I've been doing this one since I finished my big paper that was due this week, for lack of other homework due until next week. I know one of my best friends plays "Dumb Ways to Die" on her iPad while she camps...lol.
Hope this helps. Good luck on the mount. :)
Side note: one thing I've learned as a BM hunter who camped Loque for 2 weeks, is to be nice to other campers. You never know when it'll pay off.)
Edited for bad grammar.

After farming Aeonaxx for 2 years passively and never seeing him or Blood-Seeker, I decided a week ago to do nothing but seek him out. At 6:36pm server time this evening my NPC scan goes off, it's him! I'm camped between NW1 & NW2, he spawned at NW2. I flew over to him and the grey mount arrow appeared. I continued flying all around him (I couldn't get any closer, as I was contacting him and right clicking the whole time). The arrow never turned green and a horde flew in and scooped him up. This led me to a few questions, is there a sweet spot to make the arrow green? I'm assuming over top but I'm almost certain I tried that. I say almost because I was still in a little shock. Another question is related to CRZ. How do I know what realm I'm in? If I go back to SW and come back again, am I in my original realm or does it automatically change realms sometimes, meaning that I don't have to wait the minimum 6hrs because I may be in a different one? The reason I ask is because another ally was telling me to go back to my own realm a few days before when we were camping the same spot, even though I was there first. TLPD was much easier for me because I only had one realm to worry about when I got him a few years ago. Any helpful input would be greatly appreciated.

Just got him today at 4:53pm eredar US time! I had just dozed off and my NPC scan went off! You wanna see a man jump out of a quick snooze lol. I was camped between NW1 and NW2 again. I think he spawned at the NE spawn point. He was in mid-flight but from what I was reading, it's most likely that he spawned there. I didn't notice any whelps but I was completely focused on dps'ing him down. The flight there seemed like forever and I was certain someone would tag him before me, especially considering what happened yesterday. There were also horde camped at NW1 and the NE when I fell asleep minutes before. I'm not sure how I got so lucky. There was nobody to be seen anywhere in the area. I was beginning to hate the realm merges because of the extra competition but now it may end up helping me because my server was almost dead before that and the extra kills while skyshard hunting for my next rare may hopefully increase the drops. Good luck to all! I just wanna say that persistence is the key. There were times when I got frustrated with both Aeonaxx and TLPD but good things really do come to those who wait!

Bloodhoof US - Was camping on 1/17/14 at NW spawn point and at 14:20 EST (server time) NPCScan went off, got to the big guy (who was right behind me) and the arrow even turned green, I clicked, the screen started to change and I got kicked back to my mount to allow the :$&!*#@ Nelf Druid who clicked a half second before me to take it. A bit of nausea set in.
Moving forward, started camping on 1/18/14 at NW spawn point early AM and at 10:40 EST (server time) NPCScan went off. Aeonaxx's fate was in my hands this time :)
This was a 20 hr. 20 min. spawn rate (I suppose it's possible he spawned in between that time as I wasn't over in the area for much in between).
Interestingly enough though, the first spawn here, there wasn't anyone else around, so I don't know if him spawning allowed me to see someone from a different realm or not, but I was pretty sure I was the only one in that spot - maybe not - either way don't be too casual if you get the luck on your side.
Happy hunting all.

Finally got mine after 2 years camping off/on.
I was watching whole series breaking bad, all 5 season and I haven't witnessed 1 spawn, (camped for about 13 hours a day for 5 days)
I didn't even have Blood Seeker in cache, so on the 5th day that I didn't really have anymore stuff to watch, I was really discouraged.
My friend told me to stay though, I didn't really see the point in wasting all that time for nothing, but turns out 2 hours after he told me, I was finishing my food and took one last flyaround.
And, hes there southspawn, flying in circles, my npcscan goes nuts as I made a loop sound to go for 30 minutes (when I went to sleep, incase he spawns so I wake up)
Needless to say, I finally got it after about 108 hours of camping on a low RP server!
