[@christospapadopoulos234]

hello, can I ask you how to take advantage of the NPC time addon? for example the harpies at the lake show 3hr alive timer, but when i fly over village the blue drakes show 20hr timer. what does this essentialy mean? I'm sorry just trying to understand it. ty

[@slayerARS]

I finally got to see the blue dragon for the first time today thanks to this guide! Hopefully it leads to me getting that protodrake in the future!

[@MarcelEntertainment]

It will, I am sure of it. We had 3 groups that farmed during different times of the day and all 3 groups managed to get it in a matter of 2 weeks.

[@thcmilkshake4488]

Got within a few hours on server reset day. NPC timers was a huge help, spawned right at the 4 hr 45 min mark for me.

[@Yamigata]

Marcel: "I know some people who have been grinding for it for 2 or 3 weeks and still don't have it" Me: LAUGHS IN YEARS

[@keithmagill4848]

It took me 3 months when on Retail. Now I'm on WOTLK Classic and trying again on a recently dinged 80 char. Thank you Marcel for NPC Time addon!!

[@dreadwolfy7568]

got it after just 2 days 🤐

[@leerocks3859]

Finally got my Drake today!!❤ Thank You for all the info it really did help ✌🙌😊

[@mizuccino]

Got the TLPD today thanks to this guide, just 2 days of camping, tysm!

[@MarcelEntertainment]

You are welcome, I am happy to hear that. :) Congratulations.

[@shanewalton8309]

Really awesome and in depth guide. Thanks so much! Just started hunting solo now

[@MarcelEntertainment]

You are welcome. I am glad that this guide helps many, I spent eternity farming the proto drake until I changed my methods and included them in this guide.

[@blastfiend7478]

I got super lucky with my TLPD spawn on retail during WotLK. Logged in after months of not playing and it was flying by - now I’m trying to farm it for classic

[@slickmackey620]

I got mine after 1.5 weeks. Love it. Edit. without any addons because it adds to the immersion

[@stupidcircle4413]

So glad I got mine before server merging (I forget the name?) I was camping for weeks and killed Vyragosa SO MANY TIMES. I was so crazy, I tied my keyboard to a rotating fan to tap jump to stay active ingame while I slept. One day finally, I was pouring a cup of coffee at like 4pmish, and suddenly TLPD spawns DIRECTLY ON TOP OF ME!! Coffee spilled, but mount achieved with attack/spell macro activated.. Definitely takes time.

[@MarcelEntertainment]

Congrats. Did you make a new coffee after that? :)

[@stupidcircle4413]

@@MarcelEntertainment HAHA yes I did! I remember Silverdragon blaring on my screen, looking, actually seeing TLPD and then spamming my attack macro. I think I saw it 2 times before being already dead so it only encouraged me LOL

[@romboy0640]

Helped me a lot thank you so much! I got it in only 30 minutes im shaking right now.

[@MarcelEntertainment]

Congratulations! It's a nice mount and getting it is a feeling hard to describe, I was screaming my lungs out when I first got it the neighbors must have thought someone is dying. hahaha

[@supersaiyanbino]

lucky!!! I'm on a dead server and been camping every day for about 3 weeks

Do you have Parkinson's

[@Drforrester31]

Many years ago I got me a Time-Lost Proto-Drake during Cata after a few weeks of trying. I dismounted too high up and died from fall damage, but luckily had Reincarnation up so it wasn't a waste. It was so much fun as a Tauren shaman to stack size boosting items and then use Bloodlust while on the drake

[@chrisskogheim9772]

I decided to try and camp this while im waiting for arena season to end. Had nothing better to do, figured id spend the next two weeks standing on a spawn as much as possible. I started at 10AM server time. Npc timer on mobs beneath was at 8 hours and 30 minutes. At 11 server time, Time-Lost Proto spawned, and I killed it and got the mount. Stood there for 1 hour only. This was on Mograine Wotlk classic just now. Im so hyped. Talk about luck. Worth to mention, I had one alliance rogue come up to me who wanted to camp same place, which I killed ofc. So i wouldnt need to share the spawn location. He did not return. lmao

[@MarcelEntertainment]

Congratulations. The feeling when you get it is hard to describe most people just scream and totally freak out. Some people even cry I've heard.

[@scottharlan2817]

I remember my brother got this around 2009. Took him a few weeks.

[@JV-ko6ov]

Got mine tonight. Classic is way more cut throat, you have 20k people and 2 layers, 8 spawn points total. From what i can tell maybe 1 spawn/week per layer, every reset there's a single spawn. You gotta camp people, dont go on dead layers, there's a group of people who know the last spawn/layer, there's a discord. And no group loot

[@MarcelEntertainment]

Yea, if you get 1 on retail people are like: "woooow good mount." Classic: "woooow you are a legend!" I wonder how much of the playerbase on classic owns the time- lost proto-drake actually. The % must be super small in comparison to retail.

[@arejande]

This video is the key! Got mine today! Use the class trials on many serves with a friend its the best method by far!

[@canakdev8911]

I've been grinding it for the last 12 years. I will do what you said to the point and will come back to tell you if I get it. Thanks for the guide.

[@MarcelEntertainment]

You are welcome. I wish you the best in getting it.

[@lethalpotato6216]

i've been casually looking for this since literally wrath, never for hours but just here and there i allways do at least a lap a week, ive seen 14 Vyragosas i fkn hate that dragon

[@vonimas114]

I followed every bit of your advice, you are a genius. It worked, I got it in one night, dang.

[@MarcelEntertainment]

I am happy to hear that. :) Congrats!

[@PunkCedrix]

The most important point in this farming is to have a lot of friends. We shared a lot of information with Marcel and waited together. And we get this mount. Best regards - Karabatak.

[@MarcelEntertainment]

Yes, having every spawn point in check and having multiple people scout different realms/instances like wm on, wm off, timewalking for example, checking timers makes getting it much faster.

[@TonyPjamas]

Got my drake by camping the spot you mentioned, thank you!

[@MarcelEntertainment]

You are welcome.

[@EviLReN3]

Flying around in Stormpeaks on the TLPD is such a dick move 😆 Nice guide

[@MarcelEntertainment]

Thank you. :) Hahaha yes, while I camped for mine I had some person brag with his one in front of me doing the mount emotes, etc....

[@deirhese66]

6 days in and seen 1 dead and a bunch of Vyragosa. Don't give up!!

[@Vanillacrocodilla]

Awsome guide :)!

[@MarcelEntertainment]

Thank you. :)

[@shinydoubloon8237]

i have been camping it on and off, i joined a group once waiting for it and we all got excited when vyragosa spawned... i also saw the time lost protodrake once but that was in wod nagrand...

[@MarcelEntertainment]

Yea it spawns way less than Vyragosa. In Nagrand they out an Time-Lost-Proto-Drake Easter Egg to prank players. :)

[@HorusLuperc]

So i almost got it today. After maybe 3 days and total of 2h waiting. But before I could react someone killed him. Also since I’m a new player, I must say that toxicity of this game is out of the roof. I’m really thinking about quiting. But this video is really good 🙂

[@MarcelEntertainment]

Yea some people are very selfish and sometimes there are groups camping but they don't invite someone even though they have 1 spot free, it helps to do this with guild mates or people u have known for a bit they will wait and call u once they see it and pull it for everyone. There are still nice people in this game, I would say from personal experience it's a mix of toxic and nice players but don't let the toxic players overshadow the nice ones that still exist out there.

[@dfqnexxus3710]

i have 2 questions , was this on clasic mode ? all members of the party can get the drake ?

[@YozoraCutie]

Taunting counts as tagging it, and doesn't do damage. Could I do that until my group gets to me?

[@Potzten]

could you explain to me what the alive timer of a random trashmob has to do with the respawn of the rares ?

[@MarcelEntertainment]

It means that the phase you are in has been up for the minimum amount of time for any of the rares to spawn. If on wednesday for example the server resets or nobody was in this whole area/phase for some time all mobs get the time 0h0min meaning you must wait for many hours till you can get even a spawn of either Vyragosa or the Time-Lost-Proto Drake. The rare timer for those 2 is at 2-8h so you never want to camp if mobs have a 15 min timer or less since u wait 2h+ in vain.

[@Potzten]

@@MarcelEntertainment but ppl can kill the mobs so the timer says nothing to me - this is what i was thinking about

[@GrossGore]

Okay boi's... It's that time again...

[@MarcelEntertainment]

Yes it is. :) Let's get it!

[@vladyslavljovkin3469]

Great video!🙂 Thanks for information! 😊NpcTime is huge addon and i didnt even know about him haha. I have a questions about NpcTime tho: I got to realm where NpcTime shows like 20min on every npc, so obviously realm is fresh BUT the first question is "do rare npcs spawn timer only started? So it will be like 23mins out of 4hour for example or they might be alive?" And the second question is "what's forces to realm be fresh? Is it like the first person entered the realm or is it like realm refreshes sometimes( or something like this)?" Hope you understood me properly 🙂 cheers

[@d00dgc]

Awesome guide!!! Quick question if I’m in a group it’s still just one drake for the whole party right?

[@MarcelEntertainment]

Everyone gets it.

[@d00dgc]

@@d00dgc I wish you luck. :)

[@SWITCHNSTEAM]

@@MarcelEntertainment Will everyone get the mount even in Wrath of the lich king classic? Or is this just a shadowlands retail thing??? Can't find confirmation, me and my friends really want to hunt this mount and it'd amazing if we all got it at once

[@MarcelEntertainment]

@@SWITCHNSTEAM Hmmm I am not sure, I got mine on retail and it dropped for everyone.

[@Shammikaze]

Which addon is drawing those lines on your map for its pathing?

[@MarcelEntertainment]

It is Silverdragon that does this.

[@Shammikaze]

@@MarcelEntertainment - I'm in Wrath Classic. Does it not have that function there?

[@MarcelEntertainment]

@@Shammikaze I have not tested it yet, I would need to try it. I know that there are also addons that work in WOTLK classic but not sure which addon there is similar.

@@Shammikaze Im also in wotlk classic and I don't have the route lines either. May only be a retail thing.

[@Zenith8924]

ive been trying to get it on and off for nearly 10 years, ive seen its dead body one time. Once i get it, im quitting the game.

Why would you quit after that? Haha just enjoy the mount once u have it if u quit u can't lol.

No you won't.

[@calebdelgado3273]

Hi Friend, how you manage to make the ESC menu look like that? what addon is that? Apreciate

[@MarcelEntertainment]

It's ElvUI, a interface addon.

[@calebdelgado3273]

@@MarcelEntertainment thanks :]

[@Rolovillagra85]

Does this works on actual classic WOTLK? I mean that all party members get it too.

[@dezafunopriansyah1255]

Wich addon you used on map for see the dragon route/spawn?

[@zedmouse]

If anyone is farming it, I’m down to team up with you! I have the addons he mentioned in the video and I have characters on 2 different servers including some on one server that can use chrome time to get a different phase. Let me know here if you’re interested in teaming up!

[@simfun2050]

what if on every spawn point there seem to be 24h+ on the npcs?

[@MarcelEntertainment]

It means that it spawned already and was most likely killed and the phase was not reset but this is not a bad sign it just means that he can spawn again. Phases with a low spawn time like mobs are just there for a few minutes means you must wait long. 24h means it could have been killed 5 hours ago or longer so it can spawn soon again.

[@coza10]

is this for retail? people are saying wotlk classic is 6-22 hour spawn

[@worland6429]

Do grp members just need to be near you when u kill it? Or do everyone need to "tag it" with a non damage ability?

[@MarcelEntertainment]

They only need to be near you.

[@brockboucher6428]

What does the NPC timer have to do with the proto drake if no one needs to kill those npc's anymore

[@MarcelEntertainment]

It shows you when the phase started and was last reset. If people are not in a zone for a long time it can reset.

[@brockboucher6428]

@@MarcelEntertainment oh I didn’t know that. Ty

[@diegorosa2292]

I have a question: Does it mean that if you're in party all members party get the mount?

[@MarcelEntertainment]

On retail WoW if you are near to your group then yes.

[@atlantia]

How do I sort out Silver dragon to alert me? I have been spending 14 hours-ish per day on a dead RP server with WM on, just lost the mount while watching a KZbin vid and to top it all off it had died right over my head so I was inside the dead drake....... still no alarm....I think there is something in the settings I need to turn on, there are some options and it says TLPD (boring) what ever that means

[@MarcelEntertainment]

It is possible that you have the wrong settings or using an outdated Silverdragon version. I just logged in and checked mine, all seems fine here and alerts work. I recommend if you do not know what happened that the alerts do not work to go on the addon settings under profile and then click on reset profile. This should put it back to base settings in case you accidentally deactivated it by misclicking. Then go to regular rares and see if u get alert sounds as a test.

[@atlantia]

@@MarcelEntertainment Thank you, I figured I'd move to my other computer and did a fresh instalment of silver dragon and only took more 2 days and 4 spawns, 3 Vyragosa, 4th one was TLPD

[@codyak-bear320]

what is that map addon please

[@nullpointer9892]

i cannot find an addon for overlay. im going on memory when searching because of this. what addon are you using to overlay the paths

[@MarcelEntertainment]

It is Silverdragon and this is on retail.

[@logicchief7884]

what addon is showing his pathing / spawns

[@charliemora7430]

Dude, for some reason it didn´t aggro me so I threw off the mount and kill it middle air.. it landed in a place where I cannot loot it

[@MarcelEntertainment]

There is a trick but maybe I am too late. I heard you can loot from a 2 seater mount and auto loot (maybe) with this toy that makes you fall very slow.

[@charliemora7430]

@@MarcelEntertainment Didn´t know about that one, but I followed up tracking it since I was the last one killing it.. a couple vyragosas later I found it nexto to the waterfall Pd: Thank you so much, your guide was the best so far

[@MrAntwan301]

Anyone else seeing more spawns from the southern most spawn point by the gorge? Maybe it's just confirmation bias, but that spawn has over twice as many as the next highest (feels not facts) on my classic server

[@Heihachi-nl6yh]

Hey how did you get npc time to work in wotlk? i cant seem to make it work only in tbc and vanilla

[@MarcelEntertainment]

This is on WoW retail.

[@FkJrry]

Can everyone loot it at the same time?

[@MarcelEntertainment]

Only under 2 conditions (WoW retail). 1. you need to be near the Proto-Drake before it dies. 2. It must be killed by your group mate so you must be in group with the person that kills it.

[@FkJrry]

@@MarcelEntertainment thank you so much for the insight. I hope you are having a blast playing!

[@MarcelEntertainment]

@@FkJrry Yes, I'm loving the new WoW expansions. Dragonflight + WOTLK

[@logitechg110]

but is this possible in Wotlk classic??

[@RyanakaRyan]

What about chromie time on a low level character, does that work?

[@MarcelEntertainment]

Yes it does, however u will want to have flying unlocked first (lvl 30).

[@DrayHouston]

Is it new thing that everyone in the party gets the drake or has it always been that way? mind blown

[@ThemTwoJays]

it's been like that in retail for a few years i believe, but classic WOTLK is still 1 person gets it

[@chillzonee]

I dont get one thing bruh. When I click on random npc near spawn time... One is here for 13 hours, second one is for 30 min. What does it mean.

[@MarcelEntertainment]

That means another player killed this 1 mob that has been respawned 30 min ago while this whole phase started 13 hours ago. Neutral NPCs often get spared so if you try to find the timer look for friendly or neutral npcs just in case unless hostile ones have a longer time already.

[@jinchurikis]

doesnt it share a spawn time with dirkee?

[@checrallahdc]

so if we kill it in a group of 5 all 5 get it?

[@MarcelEntertainment]

Yes, this is how we got it. It spawned on me and I called my mates to me before killing it.

[@abdb6277]

How good a re bowls

[@lucarion5517]

What if the timer of the trash mobs says 2 days

[@MarcelEntertainment]

Then you must wait until you see Vyragosa to get a new time or you are lucky and the Time Lost Proto Drake spawns.

[@Betatest-ni1dy]

so basically farming it

[@kiraos6732]

everyone if group get the mount in classic wotlk?

How do you get this if you have any kind of life? kekw

UNFUCKING BELIEVEBLE..... i wrote this an knwo i got him!

[@robbybobbijoe]

5:28 This is just straight up false. I've learned alot after farming this for 4 days straight, after 30 Vyragosa kills the TLPD finally spawned. Me and another party member instantly tagged it because there were 2 other people there. The other 3 members in our party was at the other spawn locations. When they arrived, they tagged and all got the mount aswell as all the other people that tagged it too. I think like 10 people got the mount, in 2 different parties. There is so much wrong info about this spawn which made my camp so much longer. Now, these are my tips: 1. Always go in Chromie time. No "one-shot" mistakes, and it gives more time for party members to come. 2. Always camp this in a group if you don't want to passively spend 2 months to get it by scouting every now and then. 3. Use a weak aura that announces at which person it spawns at, because silverdragon does not say where.

[@sirielliril4848]

Where can I find a weak aura, that tells the location if the spawn?
