I've been looking for this mob for about 2 days now. I haven't seen it or the other one spawn at all and have been following the paths / cords listed. I've camped it for an entire day and still haven't seen it spawn as well.
If you get the chance follow the mob around and copy down it's pathing + spawn location if you happen to get so lucky.

I killed Vyragos and 12 hours later Dirkee spawned (killed him too).
No sign of the proto-drake for 4 days now though :S
Dirkee was wandering around the machine of the makers thingy and Vyragos spawned quite abit west (in the village where you have to kill proto eggs for the daily quest).
I'm patrolling there every hour, but no sign of him.
If the server cache knows this item, I guess he has been killed before?

Yes, if the server cache knows the mount the item has been seen since the last server reset.

After camping the spawn location for at least 4 hours, out of the blue, while near the blue proto-drakes, my /target macro hits gold. I franticly looked for him to no avail, and eventually lost the target, so a guy I helped 30 mins earlier rushes over to help me find him. He finds him, tags him, and even was cool enough to pass since I had been camping the spawn for 4 hours.

He spawned exactly where everyone else reported him to spawn, right near the Engine of the Makers and the blue proto-drakes. He patrolled over to the harpies before being tagged.
Edit (11/5/10): Just realized I got my drake on the wow anniversary and on the anniversary of when I created my account... Pretty neat.

This mob Patrolled for me just outside Valkyrion and was about to fly over it.
I decided to tag it quickly and kill it before anyone else did.
This is were I killed it

Dropped the proto drake for me and some blue item + bag with gold and cloth
edit: It was flying towards Valkyrion from the south just outside the gate.

Found the corpse of the Time-Lost at approx (27.5, 70.5) practically on top of a harpy spawn on a small hill. After some inquiry of nearby players (many of whom were mourning their loss on the kill) it was eventually revealed who looted it (a 79 D=). A little badgering and they told me basically they had simply seen it there and brought it down, so no additional information on flight paths unfortunately.
At this time, neither Vyragosa nor Dirkee were up. The last time I had seen Vyragosa before this was about a day ago.
Hope this information helps a little. Happy drake hunting.

Dirkee is not linked with this rare spawn, he just spawns on the same area.
But, Time-Lost Proto Drake and Vyragosa are possibly sharing the patrol path which is discussed on the Reins of the Time-Lost Proto Drake comments. No sure information yet.

Does anyone have an idea as to what the spawn percentage is between the three mobs? I've personally been killing Dirkee and Vyragosa at six-hour intervals for days, with no Time-Lost spawns. Seems like Vyragosa pops the most, also. Anyone having similar experiences?

Considering that the mount hasn't been seen yet on our server, I contacted a GM about this. What I got from the GM when I said this was:
I can confirm that this is one of the most rare mobs in the game. It does not have a set spawn time, or location. Anyone who has found it and killed it has been extremely lucky.
Given the reports here, and other places, I'm not too sure about the spawn location, but I'm willing to believe it doesn't have a set timer. I don't know if this is a boiler-plate response, though.
But this sucks, gonna be a long, boring wait for it. :(

It maybe soloable, but just how soloable is it? anyone knows how hard it hits on cloth? and is it CC/Fearable? or are we clothies at a disadvantage.
It wouldn't do for my priest to be looking for it, finally find it, then get killed by it after looking for it for weeks.

I have just spoken to a GM about this possible bug of this drake not spawning.
I asked her (I'm assuming it was a she) about the bug, and she said there was no reports of my server, Kael'Thas, being bugged for the spawn. I explained that I have been farming this guy for about 5 days now, and two friends have been camping the spawn locations when I am not around. None of us - for five days, and one friend has been farming two days before I started - have seen any bodies, or the drakes (Vyragosa, Time-Lost) themselves on my server. Two people have the mount (that I have personally saw) and one reports to have gotten it a week ago.
From the hints of the conversation, the six hour spawn timer is not true. The GM said, exactly her words, that the spawn was 'very, very rare' indeed. Given the last spawn was a week ago, and another person that had it first close to the release of XPac, I think the spawn timer may actually be at most a week.
The GM I got was very helpful, but kept ignoring a key question - if Vyragosa and Time-Lost have the same timers. I asked this about three times, and mentioned it more. It was ignored everytime, therefore I am hoping that this was a hint in the direction that there is possibly a connection between the two. I'm not taking it as being true, but from what I've read, there may be a connection. I'm hoping to see one eventually.
Good luck camping this guy.

Time lost protodrake dropped for me Nov. 29 early morning found him actually sort of outside his travel range up in the Snowdrift Plains so might consider adding that to his path that he takes .... not to mention figured out that when it dropped ask'd around and i was apparently server first for Medivh to get it =)

also wanted to add that ... the 6 hour spawn rate is false ... while you can get it to spawn twice withing 20 hours .... the spawn is also very sporatic and may not even spawn for hours or days

i'm travelling between all spots that wowhead ppl said for 10 hours, still no sign from any of that 3 mob.
// Been 17 hours still no sign from any of them.. no /target no corpse no anything... 6hr respawn is fully laughable and i just understood why they called it "time-lost"...
Now it's my 3rd day non-stop camping, at second day i killed Dirkee, and last night saw Vyragosa but an ally tagged it 1 milisecond before me, so today i'm hoping at least see it alive or dead today... And then i can sleep :)

I have been looking for this guy for the past couple of days with no luck. The mob hasn't been killed since the start of the expansion, because when I look at it in my atlas loot( the mount) it is stuck at finding it, which tells me that no one on the server has it yet, and I know for a fact I'm not the only one on the server that knows/wants the mount. But, when I ask a gm about it he/she says the mob is fine, but when I asked him/she why his loot is not in the server cache he/she said he/she is not allowed to tell me why. I really want this mount, this gm must be lying or something. I read that other people on different servers have a similar problem(I',m on the Uldaman server). I am at my wits end at what to do, so, can someone give me any ideas as to what to do?

As of December 1st. There has been no sightings of this drake on Tichondrius, no dead bodies, no one has the mount, nothing. I have been flying around for 7 hours, using some of the maps that others have provided and information others have provided. The mount is not in the server cache either. I have not seen either of the other two, Vyragosa or Dirkee either. Things are not lookin so good for me.
Edit 1: I found and killed Dirkee. There may still be some hope for Tich!

On Cairne, I killed Vyragosa as soon as I started camping. I logged here and there and one Heroic HoL but 7 and half hours later and nothing. I started talking to a shaman who was there all day and nothing. no one with the mount, no corpses just a lot of nothing. It also wasn't in the server cache.
Does the server cache work if someone on the opposing faction gets it?

I know for a fact this will be soloable.
I was able to solo the End Beasts in Nagrad at lvl 66 as a Death Knight. They had roughly ranging from 21k the Talbuk to 35k the Final Eleck boss. I was able to solo them all. Hard but doable at that lvl so 18k should be one of those this is easy fights.

Being a paladin, I did as recommended - aggro, dismount, bubble, fall and fight. He is indeed very easy, did just a couple of annoying stuns during the fight. He is stunnable himself, so you can give it right back hehe.
I can recommend going there as a herbalist, by the time he spawned I had collected a total of:
8 stacks of Lichbloom
9 stacks of Icethorn
9 Frost Lotus and
46 Crystallized Life
Oh, and this is the macro I used to find him easier:
/target Time-Lost Proto Drake
/stopmacro

Currently camping Engine of the Makers on Lightbringer EU.
To my knowledge it has been around 10 and a half hours since the last TLPD was killed. Ive missed one by an hour to a blood elf who just randomly saw and killed it.
Will of course upload a pic of him spawning/being killed by myself or by others when he does appear.

This is probably as useful as saying if you spin in your chair 3 times while touching your nose and your butt while singing Puff the magic dragon he spawns but..
3 days ago I killed vyragosa coming south eastish from the Engine of makers, near the hole in the cliffs that looks like a camera shutter.
since then the cache had nothing on the mount, this morning when I checked the mount was in the server cache. I flew around looking for a corpse maybe I just missed it.
Nope.
So between 1 am - 7 am server time it spawned. I have yet to see The Robo-Gnome (forgot his name).
Maybe it's a 3 day spawn timer shared between vyragosa and tlpd? Probably just a random sawn time?
Also I keep reading 4 spawn points but no specific location of said spawn points just people see it around the engine of makers or pathing away from the engine...does anyone have an idea where these 4 spawn points may be?

This morning at 6:36 am server time on Tichondrious I found and killed Vyragosa in the Snowdrift plains. He/She was patting from Valkyrion to the Snowdrift plains. He was

Ok, so I missed it by like 10 mins It was killed at about 6:15 am Cairne (US) Server Time. Which would explain it being in the server cache.
Pewp...so close, but at least now I know it exsists
also I call Shenanigans on the GM and the 1 month spawn time either they were pulling your leg, the poster is reading into something that's not there (said the GM insinuated) or it's all Bs
How can it be a one month spawn if
nov 13th - WotLK Released
Dec 4th - today
Time lapsed 22 days
length of a month - on average 30 days
I KNOW there's AT LEAST two as of today on Cairne (US), reading the comments here and on the page for the mount just in Wowhead (not including loltottbot, WoW forums, Realm forums, WOWEU forums, WoWinsider etc.) you'll see that in UNDER a months time multiple servers have seen multiple mounts.
SHENANIGANS!
Oh yeah and something helpful...
He was killed around..
Around the Dwarfs in The Storm Peaks @ Coords 54,50.
I didn't see the corpse or the kill but thats what the guy who got the mount this morning said.

Dirkee spawned at 68 47 exactly 12 hours and 3 minuets after TLPD was killed on my server. IF..IF they are on a shared spawn timer and spawn spot then this is a good clue.
and yes I saw him spawn. He hits harder the the blue dragon. Ouch.

k went back to the same spawn point I saw Dirkee spawn 6 hours later and nothing.

So I went around to all the points any of the 3 rares have been spotted and nothing, hung around for an hour doing laps, still nothing.
Hell at this point I don't care about the mount I just want to see the damn mob.

It's safe to say by now, after reading all these comments and hearing peoples stories on sighting TLPD, that this is a very rare spawn with no set timer. I would guess that it maybe does share a timer with Vyra, but it's just a much lower chance that when it DOES spawn that it will be Time-Lost. The reports of "6hr respawn" etc might very well be true but is very unlikely and these realms have been very lucky. A reason that we have not seen it on some realms is that it probably hasn't spawned at all yet. It's just that rare, rollin' those dice!
Goodluck to all my fellow dragon hunters out there, we'll need it!
PS. RUN THOSE WOWHEAD CLIENTS! We need all the accurate data we can collect on this one.

I was thinking... looking at the sightings, and spots killed.
Could it be possible that he spawns on the lip of the cliff at 66 47 flies towards the engine through the fighting earthen and mecho dwarves semi circle around the big hole at the engine, past the abandoned camp towards the Valkryu town turns around head up through the snowdrift towards HoL then despawns?

Been looking for this guy on and off for about a week. Found Dirkee today. Coords were 41, 51 for you people keeping track. Dropped 18g, a bag with another 18g and 20 frostweave cloth in it, and a spellcaster blue ring.
Another thing. I'm not sure if Dirkee is just different than Vyra and Time-Lost. But he had 50,400 hp, and hit leather (I'm a rogue) for about 2.5k. Just saying he's not as easy as Time-Lost and Vyra for you people out there looking.

Ok I got some new information which I accidentally stumbled upon. This may be obvious to some, I just found out myself and therefore I haven't really thought through what this really means. However, I've seen Vyragosa dead 3 times - never managed to get the kill myself but I have seen her go down.
To help myself and others here that might want some flying routes and location information I have printed every kill spot. For some reason I decided to open my wow folder and check my screenshots, all the Vyragosa kills were there of course.
What I did not think of when I took these screenshots was the time. I found Vyragosa dead just a few minutes ago and saw that it was almost exactly 3 pm. I think this is why I checked my previous screenshots.
It's all there.
Kill number one:
7 PM
Kill number two:
1 AM
Kill number three:
3 PM
Not exactly of course but always plus 4-5 minutes.
This may of course be an extremely coincidence, that the first kill ever was exactly number x on the clock and it has continued like this. Or, it could also mean that blizzard where so certain that the dragon would be killed soon after it was spawned so they decided to make up a complete spawn schedule?
However if the dragon was still alive when it was supposed to spawn again, it would not.
This of course are pure speculations from my side. But if this is true, the best time to look for the dragon is exact numbers on the clock. I checked some of the kill prints in this thread, guess what I found out?
Info taken from this very thread:
Kill number one by
"swisscheese":
12:05
Kill number two by
"spacecowboy":
7:02
Kill number three, comment by
"
Lexar"
"Vyra again at around 5 in the afternoon today."
Kill number four print by
"restored"
12:07
Kill number five, comment by
"adaelus"
"Found and killed Vyragosa at about 1:10 server time"
Can anyone explain to me why people on complete different realms always seem get killshots or killprints at these specific times?
You can find more but I think this is enough to see my point. I'm not pro at calculating but could this by any chance mean that the dragons do in fact NOT have a certain respawn timer, but a
complete spawn schedule
created by blizzard themselves?
To get some more information about this, each time you see Vyragosa or TLPD dead or killed one of them yourself, check what time it is and put a comment in this thread.

I killed Dirkee 12 hours after the TLPD was killed.
last night at 3am I saw Vyragosa.
meh.
One thing but I doubt it has anything to do with any thing. But at Camp Tunka'lo there are a few quest dealing with saving a time line and a cave with little time rifts.
This is also the area where I saw Dirkee spawn.
just saying....
sorry now I'm grasping at straws I know.
Funny thing about Cairne is people will look for the TLPD at the top of the hour 10 after the paths are clear. lol

Do all the three rare mobs (The Time-Lost Drake, Vyragosa and Drikee) all share the same respawn timer? As I'd spotted a shaman killing Drikee about 100yds west of the Engine of the Makers about 30-45 minutes ago.

Looked around the engine of the makers as soon i found out this drop and to my great surprise, there it was, flying among the blue dragons. So i flew up to it to get it's aggro, and then i flew straight down to the ground so i could start dpsing it. It doesnt do much damage at all and went down very fast. Very happy with the mount, although i now need 4K gold to be able to ride it xD

Bagged him at 48, 62 today at 3 pm server, on Frostmane. I accidentally stole him from a friend who was also spawn camping him. I didn't know! XD Good thing we're tight like that.
It looks like he just spawned on the hour, imo. He's pretty noticable amongst his light blue colored cousins, so don't be afraid you're going to miss seeing him. He flies a good distance above the ground, but not out of rifle range.

/script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Shift-click this to place a link into a chat message: \124cffa335ee\124Hitem:44168:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0\124h\124h\124r");

Can this guy and Vyragosa be tracked by a hunter? The tooltip doesn't say they are dragonkin, but it seems they haven't been detected by wowhead as there are no locations shown.

Killed Vyragosa at 12:08 p.m. Logged out at 1:00 p.m. and the Reins of the Time-Lost Proto Drake were not in the cache. When I logged back in at 3:10 p.m. the macro showed that the mount was in the cache.
This may be some kind of issue with the macro itself (I am using the one from the first page of this thread) or it may mean Vyragosa and TLPD can, at least, spawn within three hours of each other.
I'm not entirely convinced the spawns can happen so close together, because today (Friday) the macro indicated that TLPD had not spawned once since the Tuesday server reset. The probability of TLPD not spawning for 3 full days is not outrageous, but weighed against the alternate scenario of Vyra and TLPD spawning so close together makes me somewhat skeptical.
EDIT: It seems TLPD may have appeared, as so many have reported, at 3:00 p.m.

I've been trying to find this fellow for a while, without success, although, (Edit: I hope.. ) I might get to see him soonish,
Yesterday I heard from someone that he saw TLPD despawn at 7 am, and the cache was still empty.. now, at 11 am the next morning, the cache still is. It could be that it spawned somewhere in between, but I see so many people fly about and sit at the point mentioned by lami, that I think it hasn't been spawning. I'll check each hour if the cache has it, or if I can find it myself.
Edit: in the comments of the actual item, on the screenshots I see different times, most posted times are around the exact hour, but a screenie had .53, or .32, maybe it was attacked by something so it didn't phase out? Or does he stick around longer.. Or are the spawns ROUGHLY around the hour, but can be earlier or later?
Update: Checked at 7 PM and still nothing in cache or a sign of it.

Well, I was camping this rare drake for about 9 hours and I didnt found any those drakes. This Proto drake have a spawn time on 6hours_+_... Which can be 15hours or something.. And hes sharing a spawntimer with another rare spawn called "Vyragosa"!
For those that wanna camp this drake, Here's a tip!
1. /macro
2. Make a macro that says /target Time-lost
3. Bind it to the scroll and fly around and start scrolling.
Heres the
map
where I was flying around. The blue is where I flew and the red is where I have heard he spawns.
Happy hunting

Killed him today, slightly north of Valkyrion, noticed him flying north towards the valley beyond it. Dunno where he spawned or anything, but he does fly north over Valk.
EDIT- Despite him being elite, I managed to kill him with half health (After falling to death grip him). Hes got about 18k health points, and is a total pushover, I think the fight lasted maybe 10 seconds at the most.

HI all,
Can someone please answer me this?
When I run the script and it just says "retrieving information" should that be a good thing, meaning that for that day he has yet to spawn and there is a chance i could get him.
if it actually finds it, and returns the info on the mount, does that reset each day or does that just mean someone on the server actually has it now?
Also, I am going now by Penguins response and going to try to farm the 30, 68 spot. anyone else tried this and had any luck?
also, Is this "time" confirmed as in, does it only spawm "on the hour" and is it always server time when you guys are posting times?
Thanks all Good Luck

Basically just like everyone is saying.
I saw Vyragosa at 4am, and was camping since 6pm the previous day. The Time-lost Proto Drake was killed at 10:24pm and then of course respawned at 4am.
They're respawn time is so odd, but I'm pretty sure it's a 6 hour spawn time.

I see many people are commenting on the fact that the Time-Lost Proto-Drake is not in the server cache on their server. But you all seem to be overlooking an important fact: The server cache is cleared every Wednesday at the maintenance! So the script only tells you wether the the proto-drake has been killed since Wednesday.
I hope this little bit of information will help you in your hunting :)

I have tried to put the information into an image that some of you might find interesting...or not. In either case, this is just information for the time-lost proto drake. I did not put Vyra's or Dirkee's information into this image. Enjoy and I hope it helps you catch the drake.

Vyragosa spawned for me this wednesday 13:23, today at 01:23 TLPD spawned (didn't get it though :( ). That's 60 hours apart. There might have been more Vyras inbetween that I've missed.
My server got up at 11:23. I'm 99% certain now that the spawn is a chance every hour from when the server has gone up. So in this case that means that it can be any xx:23.
Another thing I thought about is that there might be a "cooldown" to the spawn. Say if one of them spawns, then there isn't a chance for any of them to spawn until X amount of hours has gone. After that it returns to the normal random chance every hour.

Finally managed to spot and kill this after over 3 weeks of searching. Eventual kill was on the south side of the mountain Frosthold is located on top of. The Drake was circling the mountain at the height of Bor's Breath, in an anti clockwise direction. Body pulled and killed at 24, 77.

He spawns where bor's breath starts outside of valkyrie place, if you look at the map its southwest of temple of storms, on the map its a dark blue colour, he spawns there ( 1 in 3 chance of him spawning) and he has 2 possible routes then despawns after he has followed his route, he can either go north around the temple of storms and then he goes down a path back to the terrace of the makers, on the link ive got, i have indicated the spawn point with the red circle, then in a lesser font ive shown the way he goes northwards ( in the red colour) , the blue path is the second path he can take, the orange spot i have placed is the end point where he de-spawns, he has a 28 hour spawn timer regardless of the 6 hours people have said.

Finally found my very own Time-Lost Proto-Drake at 12:30am EST on Executus-US flying above the harpies and below the mountain line around coordinates 37, 70. He does not fly at an absurd height out of view or anything but it would be a nasty fall.

<--me, my new mount, and my recent kill.
Some advice: trying to camp him is frustratingly time-consuming. I never spent more than 30 minutes and it boggles my mind hearing people say they camped him for 6+ hours. Most people it seems find him by luck and so did I. I went to storm peaks for some herbing and decided to check the more common sighting locations and low and behold there he was. I might have had advance knowledge of where he can be but it was stil dumb luck that i stumbled across him.
Good luck on your own, and I'm so glad I don't have to look at these comments ever again for any fresh clues!

Just got him (12/24), looked maybe 4 times yesterday for 30 min each time, gave up. Flew straight line from Dalaran to Brunnhildar Village and found him right in between somewhere, don't have coords. I literally flew into him and he was pretty high in the air (enough to die from fall damage). I was indeed spamming my "/tar time" macro set to middle mouse button, but the way I ran into him I didn't even need it.
I had to make him follow me to the side of a mountain as we were way too high and I was waiting for a rogue to gank me the whole time.
Good luck.
P.S. people get really mad at you for having it!

i just camped for a month in hope to find him but just found vyra dead to day after reset server at 4:30 server time (kazzak server)
coords 27.0 56.9 and as they said he spawns after an hour i checked nothing was there. i dont think he spawns in our but 30 min left for 6 hours spawn hope ill see him . :)
EDIT: after 6 hours from vyra death still no spawn for time lost which means he doesn't have a regular time spawn which means he can spawn at any time or day depends on the server..

i think he spawns, then is there for only 15 minutes or so, then he despawns again, so from the point when he spawns you have 15 mins to kill, if you dont he despawns. he also shares spawntimer with another dragon
im not fully sure though
also a tip if you see him and hes too high up in the air, you can buy at Grom'arsh Crash site (horde) for 2 Uludar relics, it gives you a slowfall when consumed. same vendor as the iron boot flask.

Kooremiks here (77 Gnome Arcane Mage At Vek'nilash)
Guys Follow these steps Groo made They are very good! I did read the tips 24/12/2008 04.00 And i did get known with the map he was following for 1 hour and did search for it but sadly servers went down 05.00 So i went to bed and did get up and went to fly the map again twice(takes 10 min), Didnt see anything. So i went haveing christmas with my family and after dinner i went down to fly the Map twice again(takes 10 min). But when i went down to my room 24/12/2008 20.30 i was loggin in and had just flew 30-40yards before i got "Time-Lost Proto-Drake" on my Target, I didnt belive what i saw, so i flyed pulled it and Went down on the ground, And i did it with 77 Gnome Arcane Mage ( As some1 know Dragonskin Mobs have Insane much resistanse to Spells and Magics) So its no Problem to solo it. And 30 sec after i killed it a Dr shaman and a Ne Druid+ Undead mage. So its alot of ppl that hunting this drake, Acually the whole started with a talk in the guild chat with a guy in guild thats been hunting it whole day ^^. Btw Forgot to Write Cords Was up there and got them today :P Cords: 45,7 52,2

Saw it dead today at 45, 61 on Crushridge server.
Earlier I'd killed Dirkee, by about 4 hours. Unless the spawn time on Time-Lost is under 4 hours, it's unlikely they share a spawn time, and probably aren't connected in any way.

I just found the TLPD today at 1:55 Chromaggus Server. I found him at 33,65 when I was herbing. I have been looking for this drake for the last week about a couple hours a day. I eventually gave up and stopped looking. I was just herbing and I saw it spawn right in front of my face, It was about a good 50 yards in the sky and I had to pull it down and tag it. Easy to solo as a warrior with 28K health.
I guess this is a pretty cool X'mas present, and Merry Xmas to you guys too! Good Luck on finding it.

Have just got confirmation from a GM - the TLPD does spawn in multiple locations, So unless you're lucky and camp the right spot, theres still a low chance that you're getting the mob.

Also, on the note. The majority of the time i have heard it's been killed from spawn, it has been at the foot steppes. It's patrol moves west, towards bor's breath and stops under valkyrion.
I am planning on following it when i eventually do find it to check it's patrol. If anybody has more information on spawn points. I've seen the corpse at 45.9,61.0

Ok i don't know about all the information here, i'm going to base mine from experience.
Here's what i know as far as MY server goes and as far as i've researched this:
First of i'd like to say my studies began around 12:00 AM Christmas day, i began small by scouting the area several times to see if there was sightings from him i asked local players.
It was literally nearly 10 min. before i came upon the corpse of TLPD, now mabye it's been stated mabye it hasnt but he has several spawn points and where he died i can't confirm as a spawn point but i think it's where he paths, b/c he died just north of Valkyrion on the mountain side, my assumption is either that he spawned their or is flight pattern led him that direction and someone picked em up.
Judging by what i've seen with Vyragosa so far and the info disclosed here i think i'm 99% sure that they share a VERY similiar flight pattern and a respawn timer (other wise TLPD is just has a ridiculously annoying respawn timer). if nothing else they fly the same direction, it should be noted they're NOT insanely high off the ground like everyone keeps stating Vyragosa remained like mabye 40 feet from ground i probably could have been within range of a death grip.
alas let me skip to the important part the times and locations, i decided i'm just gonan keep a diary of all the CONFIRMED killes as in the ones I've been there to witness, I know ppl think i'm BSing if i dont have pictures but trust me... i've been at this mount non stop for 4 (going on 5 days) so my goal is to make the rest of the world's job as easy as i can by steering you all in the right direction anyways feel free to read or not either way here we go!
12:13 AM - Decemeber 25 - Time- Lost Proto Drake is spotted dead by the mountains north of Valkyrion .
December 26 - nothing it was a long cold, empty day of searching that day not one spawn as far as my knowledge went that day.
10:13ish AM - December 27 - I log in to find Dirkee over on the west side of the Engine of the Makers beating me in the face, may not have been what i wanted but it was still a treat!
11:13ish AM - December 28 - VYRAGOSA spawns! She was flying into towards the Bor's Breath valley. i panicced franitically to reach her but as usual damn alliance somehow killed her a millisecond before i tagged body.
it's about 5:18 PM now (6 hours after kill of Vyragosa) hopefully i'll see TLPD soon will keep you all posted and add info when i do see something
11:20ish AM - December 28 - Dirke killed again
*EDIT* 3:13 AM - December 29 - Vyragosa AGAIN she spawned over by the Nidavelir Cave was about to fly over Valkyrion she's pretty low to the ground f.y.i. (starting to lose hope at this point but nonetheless i press on).
*EDIT* 2:19 AM - December 29 - Vyragosa Spawns once more this time near frost hold heading around the outer side down near the harpies. (very clear at this point that TLPD and her share a spawn)
I think the spawn rate on these two seems to pick up as it draws closer and closer to Tuesday ... each time i've killed them they've spawned faster than usual just a theory tho. Continuing the Hunt
*EDIT* 11:22 PM - December 29 - Vyragosa yet again spawned.... (wtf...) Spawned by Nidevalir Cave again about to fly over valkyrion i'm almost 100% sure that this is a definite spawn location for her. Gives me chance to test out the server reset rumor: so i'll keep you all posted.
*EDIT* 8:00 AM was a server reset so I'm not sure if this screwed the Respawn timer of everything up but I'm assuming it reset it so starting over from here as far as timer goes.
*EDIT* 9:20 PM - December 30 - Vyragosa refuses to stop spawning >< this time tho she spawned almost directly in between the engine of the makers and that cave called the Frozen Tomb. I can confirm this as one of her spawn spots b/c she jumped me out of no where at that location.

Would be awsome if everyone who gets the kill (or sees someone kill it) could write down the time too. It would be nice to pinpoint the time he spawns. From the comments already posted it seems like he spawns on the hour but its kinda hard to confirm this. I dont think a GM would answer that question.
Personally Ive been at it for 5 days now. Never seen any of the rares.

Want to post a confirmed kill for those hunting for it. I was doing constant laps around Engine -> Bor's Breath, I spotted the TLPD flying among the storm peak wyrms. For the record, been doing this for weeks on and off. I'm 99% certain he spawned while I was doing these laps, though I don't know exactly where he would've spawned from.
http://www.wowhead.com/?maps=67:445582415609
The northeastern dot is where I saw him, the southwestern dot was his general direction he was heading towards.
He was rather high up, but it's easy to get him to the ground without any risk or tricks by simply flying through him. He aggros normally and will follow you down without a problem. So if you do see him, don't be afraid if he's inaccessible at first glance, just drag him down. :)

I have a problem with how my mobs disappear from my screen very fast, for example I can see like 1-2 wyrms flying around when Im on the edge of the engine of the makers. Is there a command to extend the radius if which mobs appear, or maybe the amount of mobs on screen? Thanks for your help!

I was camping the gnome at the Engine of the Makers, and waaay south of me, near the brood-mother's nest, i saw gold and brown. I posted in guild that it was weird, being that all the drakes were blue, as i made a beeline for it- Everyone was screaming GO KILL IT! and about 2 minutes later a buddy in the area informed me he had just seen it go down to a warrior near K3
While the locations vary from server to server, his speed is average- not super fast. he got from just south of the engine to K3 in about 100 seconds or so

Found him
flying South towards the Forlorn mine
, aggroed him and pull him straight down to the top of the Forlorn mine and killed him, posted a screen shot also. If you are on the cave, looking north, you see a big gap between the mountains, thats where he was flying from, which is the Engine of the Makers. Dropped the necklace "of the soldier" and a satchel that had 18g, 17 frostweave, and 4 crystallized air. My guildie that had gotten him about a week ago had seen him when he was on the flight path to Gromarsh Crash site, we went to Bor's Breath and waited for about 5 minutes since that is where my guildie killed him last time. He wasn't coming around, so my other guildie flew around and spotted him above the Forlorn Mine. Actually had a group of 5 people(4 of us were guildies, one was a very very good friend) Lucky me, they all let me have him :D Found him at 8:43 am Central time.

Hey guys, this is the information I've found so far. Me and a few guildies have found 3 spawn points. At first we didn't care about Dirkee or when he spawned as we thought it didn't have any weight on TLPD/Vyra's spawn timer. After a while, we found that it seems it does.
Since December 25, here are the spawn times on Shattered Hand, US. Times are server time (EST)
12/25/2008 - 11:15AM - TLPD
12/26/2008 - 12:00AM - Vyra
12/26/2008 - 7:15AM - TLPD
12/26/2008 - 5:59PM - Vyra
12/27/2008 - ~11:00AM - Vyra <-- 30 minute pvp ensued after our kill here, we *think* it was killed at 11:00am on the dot.
12/27/2008 - 9:27PM - Vyra
((12/28/2008 - 9:00AM - Vyra)) <-- Supposed kill, wasn't verified. spawned at a 3rd spawnpoint we didn't have yet
12/28/2008 - 4:53PM - Vyra
12/29/2008 - 3:14AM - Vyra
12/29/2008 - ~10:00AM - Dirkee
12/29/2008 - 5:23PM - Vyra
12/30/2008 - 3:58AM - Dirkee
12/30/2008 - 8:12AM - Vyra
- missed a spawn, raiding - (TLPD has not spawned/been looted since 26Dec kill, must have been another Vyra)
12/31/2008 - 10:20AM - Vyra
01/01/2009 - 02:20AM - Vyra
- missed a spawn
01/02/2009 - 10:20AM - TLPD (Druid came up and 2shot me after I tagged the mob and brought it to the ground. Yet I lost the tag on him?)
All of these above named times were from us killing the mob unless otherwise stated. Hopefully with more research we can find out if Vyra/TLPD share the exact same spawn points. If so, we have them all =D

Despite being a rare mob, he does not fulfill the requirements of

It will not. we've camped the rare spawns in Storm Peaks for 2 weeks, and even though the server resets, the mobs do NOT spawn when the servers come back up. The timers DO NOT reset when the servers come back up. The mobs still followed their 8-12hr spawn timers.

Yeah this is exactly what we should be doing is getting the flight path for these things, so thanks to everyone who is doing that.
Also, I just wanted to point out that while specific patrol patterns may very on the server level (I have no idea if they do) any info concerning the flight patterns on any server would be extremely appreciated

Just got mine at 46.1, 58.8.
Had been farming for a few days, went to play CSS and within 5 minutes of coming back it had spawned somewhere near Brunnhildar village, patting towards the engine.
Had been using the macro:
/tar Time
/tar Vyragosa
/stopmacro
/tell NAME > %t <
Which someone had pasted before, It's a good script so i suggest using it :)

Although the macros given are good, I've been hunting the TLPD in Bor's and Valkyrion the past few nights and only seen Vyragosa. Regardless, the macro that gives a personal raid warn triggers if you have something already targetted and start it, so I think it should be more along the lines of
/cleartarget
/target time
/target Vyragosa
/target dirkee
/stopmacro
/run RaidNotice_AddMessage(RaidBossEmoteFrame,"THERE IT IS! KILL IT!", ChatTypeInfo)
/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\interface\\RaidWarning.wav")
That macro will clear any target you have, and it'll only spam you if its the real deal. Good luck hunting everyone, one day he'll be mine >:D

I guess i was one of the lucky few that had gotten this mount, i had taken a different route to do my dailies and what do ya know, i see the TLPD creeping up on me, solo'd him as holy, bubbled while a DK tried to kill me and killed the drake while bubbled, im sure he was angry :)
idk where he came from, but he was very close to valkyrion

Hello, can anyone please help me with this?
Now that it is a server restart (at least it is for EU servers) is the Time-Lost Proto-Drake still there or is he gone then along with the 2 others rare? Can anyone please help me with this asap?
(Btw, many thinks "asap" is a mean word, so i can spell what it says: As soon as possible)
Thank you, and I will be pleased if you tell me it. =D

So far I've found Vyragosa 18 times.
They were ALL around xx:10, xx:30 and xx:50.
Perhaps these are the intervals on which she MAY spawn?
I've never seen her spawn less than 6 hours apart.
Mostly she spawns on the cliff in the frozen lake between Bor's Breath and Valk, but I also saw her spawn a few inches to the East of the Maker's Engine.
It's my belief that she DOESN'T share a spawn timer with the TLPD, but I cannot confirm it.
My evidence for this is that earlier today I killed her at 10:34am, then the TLPD was found (by someone else) at 1:11pm. That's not 6 hours, so they may be independent of one another...
Good luck!

He flyed down the pass fulled with harpys and cames from the north, flying to the South.

Sorry if this post does not contain new helpful info, but still gotta ask.
Do you need to have the zone shiftet to Sons of Hodir in order to find the spawn?
If so, that would possible explain why some people have been camping him for days and weeks without seeing him.
I haven't seen any evidence of this myself, just a thought while camping the spawn

I think I saw a post either here or elsewhere that said Dirkee was on a separate timer than TLPD and Vyragosa. Listening to the chatter on Jaedenar though I'm pretty sure all three of the spawns are linked. So if one is up the other two shouldn't be. The 6 hour timer, thus far, has been working like clockwork on our server. Within ten minutes of the last kill at least.
Even on my small server it's been hard to find TLPD though so I haven't been able to turn up any other info than that.

I searched already 6 hours now for this, from the morning till afternoon.
At first I thought it would be easy mod, and it wouldn't take me more then 2 hours, but now I'm still searching.
I'm beginning to doubt of the spawn times. I mean, if it spawns one time every 6 hours, why didn't it spawn yet? Or am I wrong? Does it have another spawn time?
Can anyone explain me how the spawning works? And what kind of route it takes? Because I'm beginning to lose the faith to search it. Maybe I'm doing everything wrong?
Posted the same message at the drop.
(P.S) I already read all the comments, and it's really confusing, the one says it's 1 month spawn time, the other says each 6 hours.

I finally got my Time Lost Drake this morning after camping him for a few weeks.
Things I noticed ...
I do not believe he shares a spawn timer.
I do believe he shares the path of Vyragosa though.
I saw him killed at Engine of Makers around 5:03pm on Jan. 10th. So I figured he would spawn 16-18 hours later. I was wrong.
I logged in around 7am. He flew over Engine of Makers at around 8:19am on Jan. 11th. So it was around 15 hour respawn. He flew above my head at a high altitude. My macro hit gold and I frantically looked for him. I saw him heading south out across Engine of Makers and used a Slow Fall Lager to tag him in mid air. (I feel this is the only way to be sure you'll get the tag if others are around)
I dismounted, used slow fall, then tagged him with Mark of Blood(I'm a blood DK btw) He came right down with me. No Death Grip needed. I used Army of the Dead to kill him in seconds once he was low enough.
No one else was around, so I got lucky.
I feel as though his spawn is seperate and random from the other rares in the area. I have seen him on Xmas eve at around 9:21pm and missed him by seconds. He came into view around Bor's Breath that day.
I had killed Vyra about 8 times during my camping sessions. Haven't seen Dirkee at all.
Hope this helps others. It was a pain staking process to say the least. Long nights and missed raid runs. Thank god it's over. Phew!
This was on US - Bloodhoof and my game name is Zof. Best of luck to you all!

I was in the area scoping for TLPD.
I'd noticed a few ore spawns so I was getting ready to drop on them when an ally and a fellow horde dropped in on them. With a slight grumble beneath my breath I turned back up to fly away just in time to see a huge white dragon fighting something in front of me.
I was right at the tip of Bor's Breath (
http://www.wowhead.com/?maps=67:274638
) when I realized it was Vyragosa. Vyra was actually fighting the winged viking woman NPC's there and while he was winning the fight against the 2 he was fighting 2 more spawned nearly as soon as I realized what was going on.
Before I could think of a better plan I flew near him and popped him with a frost shock dropping me onto the roof of the leftmost building. There I cast 1 lightning bolt after another till he dropped. From him I received
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=44732
(..of the marksman), 17 gold and a stack of frostweave.
So if he does indeed share a spawn point and the behaviors are indeed the same then I confirm that the NPC's at least in this area DO aggro the mob and will seemingly kill it.

After a minimum of 30 days of sitting night and day, finally got the TLPD to spawn mid-poop.
I am on Drak'Tharon(US), where several others have also found the drake.
I was camping at the end of Bor's Breath (29, 66)
It spawned at 4:45 am ST (Central) and was flying toward Valkyrion from Frosthold, the same exact way I've seen Vyragosa go 8+ times.
After aggroing the TLPD, as a warrior, I let him hit me from behind, in order for Damage Shield to deal him a little damage to tap him. Then I landed on a little hill near Frosthold. Fortunately, unlike his girly, pansy friend Vyragosa, he prefers to stab faces with his fists, so it was no problem fighting him as a melee class. The little hill where I pulled him to is at (30.5, 68.3).
Screenshot of where I fought/killed him:
http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/7586/wowscrnshot011709055401rd0.jpg
Additionally, he seems to have quite a large hitbox to appear on-screen. These two screen shots show how far away you can be before he disappears from the screen:
(27.7, 63.9)
http://img530.imageshack.us/img530/551/wowscrnshot011709060428hf3.jpg
(33.9, 65.3)
http://img165.imageshack.us/img165/2889/wowscrnshot011709060614jr6.jpg
Even though he spawned at 4:45 in the morning, a friendly druid stopped to say congrats two minutes after the kill, so if you want to prevent others from tapping it before you, I strongly advise you to sit at a spawn point and wait.
Good luck, happy hunting.
Shu, Drak'Tharon

How you spotted it: I was camping it at the coords above, decided to go to K3 to get the money from some auctions, omw back to my camping spot, my macro hit gold at Bor's Breath, it was flying towards Valkyrion.
Did you kill Vyragos prior or know of the kill prior? If so, how many hours before? I never killed Vyragos, but a friend told me he saw her corpse at the engine of makers on January 20th, (Monday).

For paladins I made this macro:
#showtooltip Divine Shield
/Dismount
/cast Divine Storm
/use Divine Shield
You just have to ride above the mob and left click on the macro to tag it w/ divine storm and then right click the macro to fall safely, while I have not seen the rare spawns I tried it on the blue drakes and it worked on tagging them.
Ret Aura does not work because it is a passive ability.

Something fun and perverse to do once you have this mount is to take it out for a spin in the spawn area every now and then. Some guy on my server likes to do this, and my heart always skips a beat when his tauren-sized drake comes into view.

Ok ladies and Gents, i got mine tonight! :D
Server: Aerie Peak EU Location of kill: 30.65 (Where a LOT have taken place if i read these forums)
Ok here's the deal, i was on a horde alt and maintenance was about to kick in so when i got the 15 minute warning i decided to go have another look. Logged in at the foot steppes, near the blue drakes, and saw that i had mail from the ah. So i went to frosthold and got it, well some of it.
After this i returned down to bors breath, just as i was flying over the cliff from frosthold to bors breath WHAM my macro struck the Gold. The time was 2.48Am on wednesday Jan28. However i dont think times will matter much cause elt's say vyragoza is on a 6 hour timer, and she spawns at 2 am, if she isnt killed till 2.30am her next spawn wont be at 8 am but 8.30. So even if it did share the timer with vyragoza the times would be random and very hard to keep track of, unless you know what time the previous kill took place.
I however am still not convinced he shares a spawntimer with her, BUT if he does its much smaller than a 33% chance that i saw in this forum somwhere. MuCH smaller. It is indeed the rarest spawn in the game, and you can go for days without seeing it, but to all you people hunting out there, stick to it and you will be rewarded for it!
Myself i farmed this for 1 week almost non stop, and this was the first time i spotted it, dead or alive. I saw vyra dead only twice, and no sign of dirkee at all.
anyway heres some screenies, first one shows me on my mount hovering over the corpse, you can see the location:

After having read many of these comments, and not reading many others, I have thought up an idea that may or may not work.
When you use the Link feature on the actual item, Reins of the Time-Lost Proto-Drake, in-game, you will NOT be able to see its description because the actual item is not "online". What I propose you can do, is to make a macro of the script link and have that particular item description constantly open while waiting for a spawn. When the Time-Lost Proto-Drake does spawn, the item will spawn on it's loot table, making the item information accessible to the server and visible to you.
Again, I have not tested this, but hopefully somebody can successfully test this to either prove or disprove the idea.

Talking with someone on my server (Arygos) about him, and I found something curious. Apparently TLPD may NOT share a respawn timer with Vyr. Apparently, this person (who also has the drake) dropped TLPD while the other dragon was still up. If they shared a spawn, that wouldn't be possible.
I have seen the drake myself before, though at the time I didn't know its significance. Then, it was flying somewhat close to the ground between the frozen falls, and K3.

Bumped into him right above Brunnhildar, he was moving towards engine of the makers. As soon as he reached the terrace and a little bit more comfortable height, i landed and took him down.
Nothing special about the fight (as has been said earlier).

I'll post my findings here, hope they help. During the holiday I had some spare time, camped him for 4 days (not full time just checking after 6 hours of finding a rare spawn). I have not seen him at all yet, dead nor alive. But here goes, some information about the other two rares.
31 dec - Vyragosa 14:30
31 dec - Vyragosa 22:05
1 Jan - Vyragosa 5:30
1 Jan - Vyragosa 13:58
1 Jan - Dirkee 22:40
As you can see, not quite a 6 hour timer for Vyragosa, but even different spawning interfals.
After that I kinda didn't care about it anymore and decided to just check when I had some spare time. I know it had been killed after every server reset because the link always showed up.
I still keep on finding the wrong rares:
7 Jan - Dirkee 15:00
7 Jan - Vyragosa 21:47
25 Jan - Drikee 10:27
30 Jan - Vyragosa 14:10
So I guess you just need a lot of luck to find him. That's why I gave up, no luck for me. But to all those still hunting: good luck!

Just a little info on Vyragosa, as i just killed her.
"Vyragosa spotted at 27,63 on 30 January 2009 at 14:15. Approx 50 yards high (Body height above top of the Valkyrion houses)."
That's what i typed and then i screenshotted it. She was patrolling anti-clockwise around the Temple of Storms, but was over Valkyrion when i saw her. She may have spawned there, she may have patrolled by at the point (i'd just logged on so it could have been either).
At ground level, she was out of range of Hand of Reckoning, about 20 yards up and she was in range. If TLPD flies higher as some have suggested, then you'd need to use some sort of immunity (Bubble, Iceblock) or slow fall, and a ranged attack to bring him down. I simply got in range, bubbled, and cast Hand of Reckoning. I got to her just as some Night Elf Druid was heading round. Shortly after looting, either he or a Draenei Death Knight that had just "joined" us skinned the corpse. I'm a Blood Elf Paladin, and did see a "Makes some strange gestures" emote, but couldn't communicate with them about any info i'd found or gathered.
I know this doesn't give much information about TLPD itself, but if you look into it a little, you'll see where i was headed and what i meant by posting this.

Hello everyone. Every day i check this website for more info to help me get my drake. So i got an INTERESTING info to post.
I killed Dirkee at the engine of the makers at 10:05 am server time and thought "oh well i hav some time now at least 6h till the next spawn" then went to dalaran to clean bags and put things in my bank sell tailoring stuff... then i thought "humm better come back to storm peaks and log my char near boar's breath". when i got there SURPRISE! vyragosa dead right at the frozen waterfall the small one. she despawned at 11:15 am server time and considering the body takes 30min to despawn she was killed around 10:45. so its only 40 minutes between a dirkee kill and a vyra kill...
So far iv seen 2 screen shots of GMs saying that tlpd shares respawn timer with at least 2 more mobs but they didnt say what mobs. if they are fake i dont know... Honestly im even more confused now LOL! Their respawn timers and if they share or not its still a mistery!

i didnt say 40min to despawn... i said 40 min between the kills and yes vyra despawns in around 30 min for sure if not skinned. im not the first to post or see this. the one who despwans very quick is dirkee around 2-3 min. maybe someone skinned her and u didnt notice. unless something changed after last patch.

I'm a lucky little bugger.
Decided to wait for this, with the macro at the location posted earlier ; to the SE of Valkyrion and S of Temple of Storms, the west end of the frozen river. Me and about 10 other people were camping the spot, decided to group up with a paladin who'd been there for roughly 10 hours ; we would then roll on the resulting drake.
Well, within 2 hours of me being there the drake spawned, and we managed to tag it. I rolled a 85 and the paladin who'd sat there for 8 hours rolled a...1.
I realise it takes a far longer amount of time for most people, so I went crazy when I managed to get hold of this, VERY lucky I know! If anyone's intending to farm I strongly suggest that place, co-ords of 28,65
Good luck guys, DEFINETELY worth the wait! (though a short one in my case)
Edit : Submitted my pics.
Edit : I have yet to see Vyra or her corpse, during my 2 hours hunting + all my time in Storm Peaks.

The research I been doing, going by Thottbots coordinates location of kills, spawns, including WOWDB and other sites, which all seem to suggest he spawns and paths around Temple of Storms, well after a week of searching through these areas in Storm Peak, I happen to be around Temple of the Storms and low and behold, Proto-Drake spawns NO WHERE NEAR there, he had to of spawned in Brunnhildar Village seeing as he was killed there, I was using the
\124h\124r");]
Macro quite often to see if this drake would show up in the servers cache for this week as being looted, I hit it 3-4 times within 5 min period when it located it in the server cache, a shaman killed it in that village.
Also note in searching for the Drake and Vyragosa as they both share spawn timers, I have not see either one all week until today (Sunday). This leaves me to believe that this is either some random GM spawned event, it could be each server has different spawns and paths for it (which is a possibility), or the server is setup to spawn these rare spawns in locations away from where people are gathering (which is another possibility from my analysis).
While looking through most of the kills, even pics of the kills, and coordinates, what I found on my server today was the first I ever seen or heard of the time-lost drake being killed in Brunnhildar Village, all the sites including this one indicates that it dont even path into that village.
I am not exactly sure whats actually going on with Vyragosa or TLPD. So far this week I seen the corpse of TLPD once, never ever seen Vyragosa or Dirk.
Also I found it quite strange the Shaman who killed it, stated he killed it on an alt in Snowdrift Plains, which btw is one of the paths taken according to thott and wowdb, but during the convo which was in general chat, I mentioning how these sites kept point at Vyragosa and TLPD spawning around Temple of Storms, Shaman never really responded after that point, those 2 things kind of wanted me to put my Tin Foil hat on, still does right now just for the fact a Level 80 happen to be in a place TLPD dont normally spawn or path. I also think the Shaman was quite surprised when I asked in general who killed it literally a minute after the kill while I was still at temple of the storms.

After 15 days of intense camping, my macro FINALLY hit gold. i was camping the waterfall facing K3, because i had seen Vyragosa spawn there several times during my stay and if the rumors was true, and they did share a spawnpoint. It would be here.
I was watching Oprah around 12:55 when my macro went crazy, i did'nt see any dragon towards K3, i turned around and i saw this brownish beauty flying over The Abondended camp (or something, you know where) and towards Engine of the makers. My drake flew over this dude that was afk and that's when my heart started beating. I took him down shortly after when he was heading up towards the Terrace, i killed him infront of the cave there down on the field.
Screenie
It's hard to tell, but it was north of the Engine, as you can see. One dude came RIGHT after i killed him, and i concider myself lucky, since the drake managed to fly pretty far

i was pretty suprised of the width of my macro. as i was camping several hundred yd's away from the sighting.
And as for spawntimers, I camped for 15 days, and one week he did not spawn at all, i waited till 3 at night for the server cache restart and nothing happened. i killed Vyragosa several times myself and several more dead bodies. Killed Dirkee only once, I can say that they do not share a spawntimer, very unlikely. I think spawntime and spawnplace.
Hope this helps, because all your comments did. GL will post more screenies later^^
Hope you find this helpful, if not. dont rate me down, maybe som others will^^
Sorry for the typos that you might find.:P

I have just spoken to a GM about this possible bug of this drake not spawning.
I asked her (I'm assuming it was a she) about the bug, and she said there was no reports of my server, Kael'Thas, being bugged for the spawn. I explained that I have been farming this guy for about 5 days now, and two friends have been camping the spawn locations when I am not around. None of us - for five days, and one friend has been farming two days before I started - have seen any bodies, or the drakes (Vyragosa, Time-Lost) themselves on my server. Two people have the mount (that I have personally saw) and one reports to have gotten it a week ago.
From the hints of the conversation, the six hour spawn timer is not true. The GM said, exactly her words, that the spawn was 'very, very rare' indeed. Given the last spawn was a week ago, and another person that had it first close to the release of XPac, I think the spawn timer may actually be at most a week.
The GM I got was very helpful, but kept ignoring a key question - if Vyragosa and Time-Lost have the same timers. I asked this about three times, and mentioned it more. It was ignored everytime, therefore I am hoping that this was a hint in the direction that there is possibly a connection between the two. I'm not taking it as being true, but from what I've read, there may be a connection. I'm hoping to see one eventually.
Good luck camping this guy.
Same issue I have had as well on my server, but ironically someone knows something to where they have gotten it 2-3 times on alts and they are going to the exact place it spawns at the exact time.
Which explains why I have not seen anyone on my server with it except 1 mage who got it right after the Expansion.
Looks like the people who is getting the drake is ones who are probably exploiting some how.

I nabbed my Time-Lost late night/early morning flying above the chasm near Ulduar. She was up very high, so high that it took me a few tries to bring her down for a tag.
Everyone seems to camp the Engine and Bors Breath, remember to hit up Ulduar, you might get lucky and take her down without anyone to fend off.

So i've been camping this drake for months, but the past 3 days, I have stepped it up and been close to killing him twice, and stuck to one location or two. I have seen it alive once (Oops, hole in the ground, and no slow fall!). Another time, was just a few hundred yards away from it spawning again (I was telling a friend where I saw its body, and BAM, spawns ontop of him). Its not as rare as one would think. Either that, or I have just been very lucky (Or unlucky).
I'll post its location, when I get the drake =D
Just don't go too crazy, stay in one small area.

Not entirely sure if anyone has posted this since I was last here in November and it's too early to read through 255 posts, but I'd like to confirm that without a doubt Dirkee and the dragons
DO NOT
share a timer as previously thought back then.
While sitting on Dirkee for 5-10 minutes waiting for a buddy to come get credit for him, someone killed Vyragosa a few hundred yards away while we watched.
We were midway through killing him when Vyragosa popped up on the horizon with about 70% hp.

Ok. After nearly 3 months of searching and hoping I had about given up. I was heading south down Bor's Breath over Bor's Fall to do my Brunnhildar daily when I saw the TLPD heading southwest around Frost Hold, and he hadn't been tagged!
I proceeded to aggro him and cast moonfire and used a lager so I wouldn't fall to my death. A few seconds later and this legendary beast was dead at my feet. Killed at 1:40pm (January 31) Draenor US, corpse despawned 2:10.
Killed/saw about 7 Vyragosas before this.
Loot
Recap on all I know of TLPD:
-Shares spawn timer, and spawn points with Vyragosa. Dirkee has no connection whatsoever.
-Vyragosa is on about a 8-24 hour spawn timer, that timer has a very tiny chance to spawn TLPD.
Confirmed Spawn points:
-North of Valkyrion, near the cave. May path north, east, or south.
-South of Valkyrion, over the frozen lake. May path north, east, or southwest around Frosthold.
-The Foot Steppes, southeast of the Engine. May path northeast, southeast, west, or southwest.
-Brunnhildar, directly over the pit. May path north or southwest.
Unconfirmed:
-Somewhere around Frosthold, I'm thinking near the peak.
Theory: I'm 80% sure that this spawn point is just east of frosthold, behind those ruins on a large ledge with trees at 34.5, 70.
Handy macro:
/tar Dirkee
/tar Vyra
/tar Time
/stopmacro
/w Your Name %t Is watching you!
/run RaidNotice_AddMessage(RaidBossEmoteFrame,"THERE IT IS! KILL IT!", ChatTypeInfo)
/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\interface\\RaidWarning.wav")
Good luck everyone and happy hunting!

I had been reading the comments and helpful tips here, and decided to give it a try (Note that I got mine a few weeks ago, just decided to post the coords and time)
I started at the top of the frozen waterfall, and began to loop around, following the frozen river. I got around to Valkyrion (Sp. Error?) and saw a bit of gold before it disappeared. I kept going, and sure enough, there he was! My heart pounding, I wasn't sure if he was flying faster than me, me going at the 60% speed mount I had. I can now assure you he does NOT fly faster than a 60% flyer. He kept going around towards the engine of the makers, I finally downed him after one unsuccesful pull (Being a prot pally, I used avenger's shield... but he got out of range too soon...) at 39.76, 45.33
On January 14th, 2009. Hope this helps!
Downside is I only have half of 5k >.<
------EDIT------
I do have a screenshot of the times, it in my bag, the coords and the date, waiting for approval.

Have been hunting TLPD for a few days now avarage 14 hours per day ( I know i have to much freetime).
Anyway was spamming my macro when i almost !@#$ my pants when raid warning sounds started to spam. I got target of Vyragosa at Egine of the makers. As i dont really care about the loot that he/she drops i decided it could be useful for both me and probably others to see what path it flyes.
So here is a screenshot of Storm peaks, the black square is where i spotted it. And i guess it newly spawned there also as i had been patroling around there area atleast 1 min before i came back to that place. The red dots are the path she is flying and the yellow dots are where she is somewhere closer to the ground if that is useful to know. From egine of the makers towards the frozen water fall continuing towards K3, i dont think i need to explain more about that. Where im spotted on the map is where i eventually killed it after two laps of that path on the screenshot.
http://img410.imageshack.us/my.php?image=vyra2ft6.jpg
Hope this was useful for atleast some ppl. And yes its not TLPD but they use the same path when they are flying and this is just one of the many paths they fly.

I've been looking for the drake for about 2 weeks now. I've killed Vyragosa 6 times, seen her killed a few more, killed DIrkee once, and have never seen TLPD or had the server query show
anything
. To help us find this rare spawn we need to collect what we know about spawn points, paths, and spawn timers.
From reading through the comments I'm certain we know a lot about Vyragosa and have some guesses about TLPD. There is solid info on Vyragosa's spawn locations, paths, and that she has a spawn timer between 6 and 24 hours. I think we can also say that Dirkee shares nothing in common with either dragon.
What we do know about TLPD mirrors what we know about Vyragosa a lot. I don't think anyone has posted a kill of TLPD anywhere that Vyragosa hasn't been seen. And I don't think anyone has found or suspected a spawn location for TLPD that isn't a Vyragosa spawn point. So let's say that they probably share spawn locations and paths.
As for the timer, I have two running theories about how the TLPD spawn timer works.
As has been suggested, TLPD is a very rare spawn of Vyragosa. When the Vyragosa spawn timer fires, there is a very small chance TLPD will spawn instead. If this is true, then there is no need to look for the TLPD for 6 hours after a Vyra kill (if you assume Vyra can't spawn within 6 hours either).
Vyragosa and TLPD maybe share spawn locations and paths but their spawn timers are not linked at all. Where Vyragosa has a spawn timer of 6-24 hours, TLPD has a spawn timer in the order of days that runs separately. (If this is the case, frequent server resets that clear the timer could greatly affect the chances of a spawn.)
To see if we can find a pattern, I mined all the times between a Vyra kill and a TLPD kill from the comments of both threads here:
6+ hours
~15 hours
23+ and 18+ hours
9+ hours
Second hand report of 3 hours
7+ hours
15 hours
13+ hours
9 hours
Sketchy second hand report that Vyra and TLPD were up at the same time
Another second hand report of them up within minutes of each other
For good measure here are the sightings of Vyra
after
TLPD has been killed
~5 hours
6 hours
The three reports of TLPD sighted in less than 6 hours of Vyra are all second hand reports, while the rest are recorded times by Drake hunters that were carefully keeping track of their kills. If you throw those three out, it seems to me that
Vyra and TLPD do share a spawn timer and there is a very small chance that it will be TLPD
.
Now, I have a few more questions:
Can anyone confirm that the server query script only showed the Reigns after a confirmed TLPD kill?
How about if the server query script worked when the opposing faction got the kill?
Any thoughts on whether the frequency of TLPD spawns has anything to do with server population? I'm on a very low pop server, and as I said there has been no sightings in 2 weeks.
Are spawn timers affected by server resets? If the timer is counting down and one of them is going to spawn in an hour, but the server restarts, and the timers saved and restarted, or are they reset to a new random time (6-24 hours)?
There are definitely some assumptions in there, so we really don't
know
anything for certain, but I hope this helps save some time. If anyone sees any mistakes or has anymore info that helps, I'll try to update this.

Last edited by hav0cist 10 minutes ago (Patch 3.0.8) – edited 5 t
From what I know, the query script only works once the servers cache I assume has been reset which would be the long maint. hours when the servers are down on Tuesday. I had the script last week and it was always retrieving information until someone found the TLPD (very fishy kill I may add) but at this point since then the script has shown its information including this week in which the servers were only restarted and was not down for long maint. hours.
On my realm however I have camped for hours out in Stormpeak for nearly 2 weeks, I dont know if TLPD and Vyragosa is deciding to spawn in the morning times so early that no one is around, or what it is, but in the 2 weeks of camping, I have only come across TLPD once, and Vyragosa once. If the servers did restart earlier this morning, I could of probably kept a timer on it. I did wait till the 6 hours plus mark today once server restart was finished and did not come across any rare spawn nor heard reports of it. It seems my server has a !@#$ty time spawning anything and it seems like its upwards to 3-4 or more days before any of the 2 are ever sighted. The only record I got this week of Vyragosa so far has been 2 kills, one which was at 4 in the morning of all times and one last night around 6 pm.
I was told earlier that Vyragosa or TLPD could spawn anywhere between 6-72 hours. Thats one hell of a time window to have to wait for, but it does seem to make sense seeing that these rare spawns are rarely ever sighted more then once in a 3 day period.
I am really under the impression though these 2 spawn at the most odd times which anywhere from 2-6 in the morning, a lot of the information I have gathered of 2nd hand sources, a lot of them talk about killing either of the 2 in the morning times around that time frame.
I think in the end theirs no certain timer to really count down to in which one of these two will spawn, server resets dont help none either.
For my daily rant, I wish non alts and people who actually log on for more then 10 mins a day would be the ones to actually obtain this mount, on my server its people who dont log on, bunch of alts, or idiots who kill it after getting the mount, seems to be quite common thing going on.

We are led to believe Vyra and TLPD both share spawn timers, theirs a possibility they dont.
I have seen also at some points where TLPD and Vyra would spawn within 2 hours of each other, 2nd party information though.
I am not certain on 0-24 hr timer, it seems like its 0-72 hours, I also have a strong belief something within the zone can trigger its spawn also, of all the reports of TLPD and Vyragosa kills have been by people doing dailies, mining, herbing, farming mobs in locations near Valkyrion and Bunnhildar village, this seems like when these 2 spawn the most, the people who camp and people who aint killing or doing anything seems like the time they refuse to spawn. I am lead to believe theirs a mob kill count that needs to be reached to spawn them, theirs alot of evidence that could support this theory to.
I dont know if these rare spawns differ from earlier ones in Classic or TBC, but I can easily tell you I dont think any rare spawns prior to this expansion has ever shared spawn timers, they use to have a whole group of rare spawns out in Badlands, all of them at times were all up at once, as well as rare spawns in the TBC more specific out in Blades Edge mountain.

Ok, yesterday since 14:00 I've been camping boar's Breath 24h straight until now. The only thing I saw was Vyragosa dead (13:50) north from Valkyrion when I did my spawn route.
And now I think about it and I feel kinda stupid for camping a dragon, that is just made of polygons and pixels. What have I become? :(
Anyway, I will start camping it again from 19:00. I will report back, and try to be more active (By moving around Storm Peaks, not by slacking on Boar's Breath)
Have fun camping and good luck!
I'll be back and report when I see another rare (Hopefully the TLPD)

I'm hunting for this drake since early January, and last night, I used an autoclicker on the macro and increased sound, so if the macro will proc, I will wake up.
Suddenly it did proc, and I almost had an heart attack.
I was at the frozen lake, and was looking for him like mad, went to the frozen waterfall(large one) and it wasn't there, went to snowdrift and who do I find? The time-lost proto-drake, lying dead, under nobody but my friend's(who has a black, azure, blue proto-drake, and red proto-drake) sucidical sword (
Slayer of the Lifeless
).
Then he started whispering me how lucky he is and how unlucky I am.
I should have taken it seriously when he whispered me before "I'm coming to ninja it from you"(though I was sleep so I've read it in delay. (for the protocol, he never did look for the drake, he always did dailies with his hunter friend)
I learned 2 lessons from that crappy occurance:
1.Never trust hardcores, or dwarves.
2.DO NOT hunt for the proto-drake, he comes ONLY when you don't think about it (go to hol and hos every day and remove the macro D: )...Although I can't stop.
Good luck guys-I hope that you will find it through hunting, and not through lucky hol runs.
P.s-Downraters, don't downrate this because I don't have the drake...

Not sure if this will help anyone with determining the spawn time, but on Mannoroth, the TLPD has actually spawned now 3 times in the past 24 hours, all of which I've missed.
I was camping it for a few hours on Sunday & kept checking the cache fairly often, and of course the item was stuck at "retrieving info". After a while, I saw someone spamming general chat about killing, so I checked the server cache macro, and sure enough it was killed. (around 2 AM, Sunday night). Yesterday, it was again killed around 3 PM right as I logged on. Saw the corpse & the dude on the mount...he must've killed it literally 5-10 seconds before I logged on. I went back out to Storm Peaks later last night after our raid at about 12:30, and again saw the TLPD corpse. Both corpses that I saw were around the Engine of the Makers.
Its pretty frustrating considering I've been camping it fairly regularly now for about a month, and haven't even seen it prior to yesterday. Bad timing I suppose.

i started camping for it around the end of november. i've killed Vyragosa idk how many times(stopped counting after 12), killed Dirkee once. seen TLPD once.i did my daily in Valkyrion and flew to turn it in. didnt realize it was so close to a possible spawn time. got back to my spot near valkyrion and my macro hit on its corpse. i was gone less than 2 minutes. this was on x-mas day so needless to say my holiday was ruined. since then i have not seen it dead or alive. i've got nearly 500 hours spent in storm peaks. it is definately a matter of just getting lucky.

Vyragosa drops TLPD to?
Story;
upon doing some camping in Storm Peaks, I been out there most of the last 2 days looking for or hoping to find any signs of TLPD.
Well as luck would have it since I got the;
/script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Shift-click this to place a link into a chat message: \124cffa335ee\124Hitem:44168:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0\124h\124h\124r");
Which I hit quite often and it struck as being found, so off looking around, what do I find?
The corpse of VYRAGOSA.
What else do I find? Undead DK named Hellwidcha who Ive never seen on the server before has it with a guildie of his around also, they not even talking about how or why the script is showing this mount as being looted and used if TLPD has not spawned this week. They went on to say its 100% luck or if Blizz likes you they let you have it..............................really.
I beginning to smell a huge BLUE rat tangled up with this mess of these 2 spawns.
Thats complete horse crap.
The TLPD is the ONLY mob that drops the Reins of the TLPD.
Either they killed the TLPD in one of his less common spawns, or some noob who hasn't got epic flying yet has the mount sitting in his inventory and logged in.
Vyra does NOT drop the mount, thats just rediculous.

Using this macro the TLPD wasn't killed on Korgath since server restart on Feb 10th til around 6pm server time Feb 12th. It seems he can have up to a 48hr spawn time.

that is the macro to check the link for the reins. if it shows retrieving information it has not been looted since last server reset. if the link works then it has been looted. once its been looted go to your wow directory and delete the cache folder to reset it.

I camped this guy religiously for two weeks after I hit 80. In those two weeks, I saw nothing: No Vyragosa, no Time-Lost, nothing.
Tonight I felt lucky, so about five hours ago, I logged onto my main and dragged her to the spawn point over the frozen lake and parked her there. I randomly surfed the web, switching windows to spam my macro a few times, doing a fly over once every thirty minutes.
In short, I came out empty handed until 5:40 AM EST. Sadly, it was not Time-Lost, but Vyragosa: the first time I've spotted her spawn on my server, Kael'thas. She was flying from Valkyrion, over the frozen lake: I had decided shortly before my macro hit home to start my rounds, so I had begun flying away. Thus, I lost her as I crossed over the the little waterfall. I turned around, spammed it a few more times, picked her up again as she was JUST leaving the village (she had NOT showed on my screen yet, but my macro hit home; she showed up as I was flying back towards the village). She was roughly a few feet above the tallest building there (as in, she was nearly touching said building) - she was not high up at all.
To aggro her, I simply flew into her, got her locked on me, and landed onto the lake. She stays thirty-five yards from you, give or take: my judgments can hit her (I'm a holy pally) but my holy shock could not. I tried jumping to hit her with holy shock, and thus could, so I'm assuming it's around thirty-five yards exactly. With no resistance, her frost breath hit me for 1.2k, and with Frost Aura, for about 900. It took me about five minutes to kill her.
I know this is under Time-Lost's thread, but given all the speculation that they share a timer, I am hoping this proves useful. I am heading to bed now with my clock set for exactly six hours in hope I can catch Time-Lost. Also, Vyragosa's corpse JUST despawned, exactly thirty minutes (6:16).
Good luck, fellow campers!

I just got the Time Lost Drake finally! my macro hit at Bors Breath.. I killed him at 30, 65.
He was flying west from the little valley to Bors Breath.... high up in the air.
He must have spawned right there, because there are tons of people looking for it on the server im on.
It was a couple hours ago.. Korgath(US) Server... Tuesday, Feb 17th.. at 5:35pm (PacificTime)
I have been searching off and on for 2 months.. and I finally got it.
I have killed Vyragosa 10 times, Dirkee twice
All Vyragosa kills were at Bors Breath... Dirkee kills were at Engine of Makers.
I saw the corpse of Time lost last week, at the same exact time 5:35pm (PST).. but it was on Friday. And the corpse was in the area north of Valkyrion, west of Grom'arsh crash site
Best way to find it is to circle around the temple of storms.. going through Bors Breath, Valkyrion, up through the northern area, then go east through crash site, down into engine of makers, then down in the valley, back to Bors Breath.
Never give up! You will find it eventually! I went nuts when my macro hit..
I'm a rogue so i made sure i had auto dismount enabled... just tagged him in the air while mounted, then used slowfall
and landed safely on the ground
Then gave him everything I had.. trying to kill before I got ganked.
Well worth the time spent searching.. It is awesome showing it off!

Fire elemental totems, Glyphed evocation etc. Like other drakes, he loves to stand ontop of you, so you have trouble attacking him. He also teleports behind you too. While an 'easy' kill its very easy to get flustered and forget how to do anything.
I have camped this drake for a very long time, and I can tell you, stay in the western half of stormpeaks. Eastern half is not worth your time. 4 drake sightings (2 alive, 2 dead-- one killed by a friend) all in the western half

I finally managed to get my hands on this baby.
I've been following this thread and did some math myself, heres what I think.
I killed Varygosa yesterday around 10pm. This morning I killed the proto drake at 8am. For me this sounds like some linked 10h respawn timer. But, I think a steady respawn timer would be too easy to farm so heres what I guess:
I found a dead proto drake at 7pm one evening, exactly 27h later I killed Varygosa. Now... 27 seems kind of an odd number, but it's actually equal to 3 * 9.
Giving the 9 h average respawn and the 10h confirmed respawn I would suggest, that Varygosa and de Proto Drake share a 8-10 hour respawn timer.
I will actually try to check my hypothesis this evening, seeing if I can find Varygosa or the protodrake between 8 and 10h after I killed him this morning.
If my work doesn't interfere, I will post you some further results.
ORC SMASH!

Apparently you ran into the same little incident I did, Vyragosa being killed at the blue proto drakes and then finding someone with the TLPD as if Vyragosa dropped it.
But you do not find a TLPD Corpse no where.
Its very fishy indeed.
I am finding more and more TLPD owners are people you never seen before, do not know, and such including seeing alot of people not even level 80 and on alts searching for this thing which is very odd.

You know, there is an alliance DAILY quest to kill those blue proto drakes. The thought that they are a placeholder for them is absurd. Sitting in the middle of blue drakes on a TLPD was intentional (IMO) to make your heart jump-- and to continue the myth of Vyrgosa dropping it. Such a high profile area would have attracted much attention. The Drake was obviously looted in hours/days previous.
It would have been spammed in chat if anyone had found the body or anything. Even as my drake hit the ground (dead), within 30 seconds I had 3-4 people in general saying that it had spawned.

Just wanna ask since I haven't seen any discussion on this. How does this thing fight? I'm only asking because I managed to tag Vyragosa a few minutes ago but unfortunately (I'm a warrior) he just stayed at range and kept using frost breath on me. Does the Time-Lost come down once you tag it? Or are there any tricks to get it to go to you if you're melee?

It is 1/16 that it spawns at vyragosa's spawn every 6 hour, so if you see varygosa's or time-lost's corpse, come back 6 hours later and hope for a time-lost proto drake :D

Food for thought:
Scanned the server caches with the macro of two large EU servers for almost two weeks, and the TLPD didn't show up on either. Today, the macro reported the first mount drop on one server, and a short time later on the other.
It might well be that the TLPD spawns on selected servers, and then for longer period not. It could be an anti-camping measure to frustrate the nerds.

The proto-drake mob moves pretty quickly, took 2 or more minutes to catch up with crusader aura on when riding a slow flying mount. If you're riding a 60% speed mount, try aiming ahead of the drake.

Caught TLPD flying around Frosthold to the south as I was flying into Storm Peaks from Dalaran. Been camping for him for a few days now and was on my way back out to continue camping and my macro went off, tagged him and down he went. Kill was 2/21/09 ~5:15pm Server.

So, I've seen the corpse of the Time-Lost Proto-Drake twice, and both SECONDS after it had just been killed (Saw the killer leave the scene, and the second time it was a rogue on a NON-EPIC flying mount :( ), and here is a map of where I saw them:
http://www.wowhead.com/?maps=67:277524378582
With that said, I theorize that this Vyragosa flight path is at least one of the Time-Lost Proto-Drake's flight paths (if it even has more than one):

Well I got this mount after a about 8 hours of looking. There is a little trick I would like to share. I have read everyones comments, and filtered out what I thought was crap.
First, there can only be two rare elites up at any given time in Northrend. What you got to do is set your hearth in storm peaks, get locations of the known spawns of all rare elites in northrend, and make sure you kill them, or that someone does.
After you kill one or you know for sure one has been killed hearth back and camp for the time lost. Even if you find Vyra dead, a time lost could show up on the next spawn. The spawn time for rare elites seems to be 30 min, hence how long the body stays there for.
Could I have just gotten lucky? I don't think so because I just helped a friend get it also. Now I will share my info since I'm done looking for this thing.

Just killed him, just unde Temple Of storms, in the canyon. When i saw him, he was pretty high in the air, and i thought he will never follow me till the ground, but around that canyon, there is like little spots where mobs are, somekinda dwarves, and i just kited him till that spot. It was about 2.35 AM server time.

First of all, sorry about my english.
I`m the only level 80 of my server (it`s a fresh one) so i felt that getting this was going to be easy, and i were right. I have never seen Vyragosa/TLPD up togheter. You can say "hey, they share spawn times" but i think the only fact is that they share paths.
Why do i say this? I asked a gm about this dragon and he told me "he does have an extreme low respawn time" meaning that he is not up for much time. He spawns, does his rute or whatever and just despawn if no one kills him. I have also followed him and he did not aggro with blue dragons/harpy/etc. Dirkdee was up at the same time i killed him, so they do not share nothing.
I`m not sure about the 6 hours spawn whithin the death of Vyragosa, maybe it`s coincidence, but i killed Vyr at 18:35PM and since i read a lot about the 6 hours i went back at 00:35 looking for the time lost. I did some of the paths for like 1 hour and at 01:33 my macro tagged him. He was coming from Valkyrion flying really slow, killed him at the frozen lake in Bor`s Breath.
I have to say that i`m killing all the rares of northrend everyday and some of them (for example Griegen in Zul`Drak) does have 6 hours of respawn (respawned in 6 hours for 3 consecutive days) and other of they do have 6+spawn time, not sure about how much is it for them (for example Terror Spinner).
I hope this help you guys trying to get this mount. I`ll also try to get him tomorrow and just follow him to see how much time he does take to despawn.

I agree I have camped him for 42 straight hours without leaving Storm Peaks and didnt see anything. I have camped in total about 125 hours and have yet to see a corpse
I am going to guess that it is a GM spawn and casual players tend to get it a lot more than people camping it
This whole "GM's spawn it cause I haven't gotten it yet" idea is paranoia.
You camped for 42 hours straight once and didn't get it? Meh.
Consider some numbers instead of paranoid rantings: There are many reports that suggest the TLPD spawns once or twice a week. Let's be insanely optimistic and say the TLPD spawns four times in a given week and that he is alive and untagged for ten minutes each spawn (which I think is generous considering the number of people camping/looking for it).
That makes the TLPD obtainable for 40 minutes in the given week.
7 days/wk * 24 hrs/day * 60 min/hr = 10080 minutes per week.
So, 40/10080 = ~.4% of the given week that the TLPD is obtainable.
Your 42 hour camping spree accounts for only 25% of a week's time. And your 125 hours in total camping time is just under 75% of one week's time. Quite frankly, your camp times look rather small considering the rarity of the mob.
Conclusion: The mob is just super rare. Even if it spawned ten times each week and was untagged for ten minutes each time, that's still only 100/10080 minutes in a week or ~1% of a week's time. Yikes.
The reason it looks as though campers never get the mob is because the Time-Lost Proto Drake is not up for the VAST majority of the time.
In contrast, there is almost ALWAYS someone in the Storm Peaks; which means, on the very rare occasion that the TLPD spawns, some "casual player," camper or otherwise will most likely be around to stab it in the face and loot its golden-mounty goodness.

I agree with Shaas. I've spent as much time and not even seen a single of the rare elites in SP. Between the number of people camping the TLPD and the low spawn rates, I'd be shocked to see the TLPD anytime within the next 6 months.
The trick is to be patient and keep researching spawn locations and spawn times.
If it wasn't so rare the drop wouldn't be a flying mount, guaranteed.

My macro went off for the TLPD at about 12:30 ish pm server time, Drenden server, coords were 37,42, by the library. Unfortunately, someone else killed it, but at I did see it's dead corpse. The macro actually went off when I was in Bor's by the harpies, which surprised me, I flew around looking for it, never guessing it was by the Terrace.
The macro for the dropped reins, above, works, cuz as soon as it was looted, the item description came up, instead of the "retrieving item info" box.

I'm pretty sure you're wrong about the 2 rares at a time thing. From what I've read from people working on the Frostbitten achievement, which is to kill every rare spawn, 5 rares spawn when the server resets, and more spawn at set intervals after that. I can also say that I've found 4 rares in 20 minutes, making it highly unlikely that only 2 are up at a time.

Quick question for anyone...
I copied the link to the reins of TLPD here from Wowhead, and pasted them in chat in WoW. I get the message, "Shift click this to place a link into a chat message:
Now, when I click on this, it shows up, saying, "This is a very fast mount, yada yada."
However, when I whisper myself, or just do a /s, and shift click the item, it doesn't show up as a link.....just as text.
Now, when I log onto my laptop, and do this same thing, when I paste and get the message, ""Shift click this to place a link into a chat message: ", and actually click on the link...it says, in red, "Retrieving info."
1. Why is it different between my two computers?
2. Do both of these indicate that the mount hasn't dropped (and thus TLPD hasn't spawned) since the server came back up on Tuesday?
Thanks in advance, and good luck in your hunt.

I do belive that Vyragosa and Time-lost shares spawn timers.
Because:
1. It would add to the randomness.
2. They share paths and spawnpoints.
3. I have no report of them being alive at the same time.
4. They are both dragons.
5. One of them is blue, the other one is yellow... opposites, eh, eh!
6. ?
7. Profit.
I also think that the ratio of TLPD/Vyra would be about 1/10 just based on Vyra having a 6-8hour respawn timer, and 2 TLPDs have been killed in a week on our server.
Camping one of the three spawnpoints nonstop would therefor give an avarage time of 252 hours (10,5 days) camping before a TLPD would spawn at your spot. Not too shabby numbers tbh. The first calculation I did on this I came up with an optimistic 100 hours(1/4 ratio, riddiculus I know (; )... and I still feel these numbers are a bit too good to be true.
The only thing you can really say about this mount, is that either the lottery-lucky or the donkey-stubborn will get it.
Up to... maybe 150 hours and counting, seen one Time-lost dead last week, and was in the zone while one spawned and was killed at the lake today (I stealth-camp at the dragons). Lucky Hunting all, and keep sharing ideas and information, we all want to get out of this addiction ASAP I guess ^^

I doubt this is relevant in any way, but while doing my normal sounds of TLPD hunting, I noticed that there are brown discs along his patrol.
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c324/zzsdkzz/TLPDDisk.jpg
As far as i've seen, these discs ONLY appear directly in the patrol of the TLPD. There is one @ Bor's Breath, coords 34,67 .. There is one by the Blue drakes , close to Brun.Village, and there is one up in the Ulduar area.. All very far apart, all apart of seperate patrols that the drake has been known to have.
Can anyone confirm or disprove that other discs exist in other areas? Again, I'm sure this is nothing, but I just found it odd.

relias
its kinda interesting this ... since these discs are really close to the spawn points ... but if they were really connected to the TLPD we wouldnt find more than 3 ... as we can actually find... i think you missed one in 27.38 ... near the snowdrift plans...

I don't know about the G11, but on the n52te, under the macro editor, you set the key to repeat. In this case, I had it repeat until another key is pressed, with a 1000ms delay. You could do pretty much the same thing by using speedkeys in windows and taping a key down.
No, I have not been banned, and from my understanding, it is not a bannable offense. This is a hardware feature, not third party program that controls your character for you. I still had to do the work, and did not influence anyone else's game experience, nor gain any unfair advantage. If it were moving you, tracking the mob, killing and looting it for you without you sitting at the keyboard, that would be a bannable offense. Reference the
EULA
section 2B.
Of course, this is just my experience and interpretation. Take it however you will.

I use this as a Warlock
/target Time
/script if UnitName("target")=="Time-Lost Proto Drake" then SendChatMessage("Target Found - %t", "WHISPER", "COMMON", "yournamegoeshere"); end
/castsequence curse of agony, corruption, 3 4
/cast Sacrifice
I use Autohotkey to spam this all day and night without me sitting at the computer
I have changed the /w sound to a alarm sound and the 3 4 in /castsequence refer to Snowfall lager in my bag.
I'm casting 2 instant dots so that I tag it when I target it (if I'm close enough) and sacrifice VW so that I have time to get to my computer and turn off Autohotkey without the proto drake killing me.
I have tried this on other mobs and it works.
Hope this helps
Edit:
I use this script in Autohotkey (
www.autohotkey.com
)
h::
Loop, 1000000000
{
Send, 3
Sleep, 100
}
Return
Where h activates the script, Loop=run it 1000000000 and Send 3 is the button it presses down for me all the time.
This means that I have put my macro at actionbutton 3. You can put your macro anywhere just bind the key and change the Send in Autohotkey. And you can also change the activation button to whatever you what. I use h since I never use that when I play.
Using Autohotkey is not ok according to Blizzards EUL so use it at your own risk.
Hope this made some sense anyway.. :P

Started camping the other day, the first day I killed Vyragosa at 11:50 am 3/2 , and then I killed her again at 5:20 am this morning 3/6 I am sure there have been spawns in between, but it really seems holding true to 20 and 50 minute marks. So I keep check back around those times often I hope to get TLPD some day.

It's been posted in many different versions, but here's the one I used:
/tar Time-Lost Proto Drake
/tar Vyragosa
/tar caliente
/stopmacro
/train
/t mortisbs %t is here.
/p %t! Over here! Quickly!
I was searching for Vyra, so I was grouped pretty often. Caliente is a mage that kept sneaking up from time to time to knock people off their mounts, so I added him to the macro. Came in handy...we camped him for about 15 mins, and he ran off in shame about 5 mins before Vyra spawned and I finally got the kill.

Game master told me that according to its name it really is "Time-Lost" and isn't always in current time. Also it does have long spawn time (Heard someone saying it has low spawn time). So I guess it's 6+ hours to spawn, disappears after some time and shares atleast spawn with Vyragosa.

I've been camping the Drake from halfway in december.
At first I just herbed/mined while hitting my macro now and then.
after two weeks my macro hit gold and I failed miserably by falling to death. off course it got tagged after that. I decided to get my revenge no mather what.
A few weeks went by using the same routine and I realised I was incredibly lucky the first time.
So I tried assingning a macro button to my nostromo to make it more easy.
Soon after that I had my laptop hitting my macro while asleep.
Even with my nostromo I have camped/gathered for nearly two months not camping only when I was at work or raiding.
Finaly my girlfriend woke me up because of the noise my laptop made.
I killed it at 5 in the morning at bor's breath...
I can say that this drake is almost not campable without using the nostromo/g11 strategy.
I think that if you got it the normal way you are extremely lucky.

I started casually looking for him today. I spend time idling while I'm in LFG, and now I spend it sitting at the frozen lake around 30,65 based on what folks have posted. Every now and then I do a loop around the mountain, past the engine, past Ulduar, back to frozen lake. I made a macro to target TLPD.
I was flying from Dalaran to Grom'arsh to do HoS. While we're waiting for a group member I do a loop around the mountain. As I come up on the blue drakes by the engine my macro fires off the RW, but alas, someone else already had him tagged.
Good luck and happy hunting!

He also told me that he only slept when the dragon with its shared CD died. i dunno why anyone would waste 4 days of their life away for a mount in a game that gets u nowhere in life, but i salute him for his dedication /salute

More info, Killed Vyragosa 3 times today.
3:44 am
2:26 pm
9:50 pm
7:59 am next morning (not my kill but most likely was a 7:50 spawn, not sure where he spawned at but would guess it was south of the waterfall)
all server time
7:54 PM, my kill.
So its like this;
2:20 and 9:50 was 7 1/2 hour spawn
9:50 and 7:50 was 10 hour spawn
7:50 and 7:50 was 12 Hour Spawn
So 7 1/2, 10, 12, perhaps the next will be 14? maybe back to 7?
I have not quite understood the 3:44 kill though since it was far from 20 and 50 minute mark. I can only assume he was roaming around SP for 24 mins.
Could of possibly been a spawn in between 344 and 226 mark since it was server maint day.
What I need to research further on is the 3rd and possible 4th spawn points, I know Bors Breath and Brunnhildar village is 2, but I am certain one exist some where around Ulduar or north of Valkyrion, and one possibly exist south of the water fall leading into Bors breath or might be be a spawn path near K3, uncertain of the exact spawn point.

This is just pure theory, i wanna stress that, but could the spawns be based on random generators? for example after Vyragosa is killed could there be a random selector to spawn TLPD, Dirkee or herself (after 6 hours or so)? also i heard someone (maybe not on this site) say that they saw TLPD and dirkee within a short time of each other (15 min-30 min) so could dirkee have something similar but spawns only Vyragosa or TLPD?

I have a partner roaming making sure we don't miss a kill as well.

From reliable sources ive heard that the TLPD have a shared spawn rate with another rarespawn(Vyragosa), but the TLPD only spawns 1/6 times when Vyra spawns.
评论来自

The timed-lost proto-drake has a spawn rate shared with the rare spawn Vyragosa. But the time-lost only spawns 1/6 times og Vyra's spawns. The drake has a 100% chance to drop it self(A cool 280% proto-drake). it also drops a rare leather helmet and a pouch containing some gold and a stack of frostweave cloth. The mob has about 18K health and can be easily soloed. If you wanna go on lookout for him i suggest you patrol certain points, start in the footsteps, fly to engine of the makers, fly down through brunnhildar village. then head of to K3. when u reach K3 fly north, follow the frozen lake/waterfalls up to Valkyron. circle the temple of storms, get back into the footsteps. while patrolling this area spam this macro:
/target time-lost
/target vyragosa
/stopmacro
/tell Yournamehere >%t<
with that you will be able to target one of the drakes, and at the same time it will whisper your character. remember to put your name into the macro, and dont make the same mistake as i did. as i was spamming my button i suddenly got a "The player "yournamehere" cannot be found" in my chatbox. wich told me that one of the rarespawns was in the area. but it got away from me, as i was too frustradet with the macro saying that,
i still havent found one
Happy hunting...

Haha, yeah they share a spawn with rude kids :(
4 hours is nothing to camp this drake though, I've been at it 12~ hours per day for the past week, seen it once tagged, and killed Vyragosa a couple of times.
From my experience it's definately 6+ hours, Dirkee is unrelated, and Vyragosa has a much higher spawn chance than TLPD. Seen/killed Vyra 7 times over the week, TLPD has only been up once I know of, and hasn't spawned for the last 3 days according to the macro.

Well my experience with this drake is, I question why does it get killed the moment it spawns in early morning hours when it does spawn but Vyragosa can be up for 20 mins at a time?
It seems the last 10 weeks of looking into this with extensive research and camping has yielded with my link script going off as being used or looted (however the script works) with no tall tale signs of TLPD corpse ever being found, one instance TLPD link showed up after a vyragosa kill.
I have only seen a TLPD corpse once and it seems everyone who does obtain this mount vanishes from the face of the game. I know this because I have kept track of who has gotten it, seems it either a bunch of alts or people who vanish from the game entirely.
Latest incident in which TLPD was killed yielded no corpse, no one around SP flying around with the mount, nor anyone in Dalaran coming in with it.

Okay, I figure for the benefit of everyone I'll keep a daily update about my adventures into finding this drake. I started officially looking on Thursday March 12.
Since then I've only seen Vyra 2 times, Dirkee and TLPD I haven't seen yet.
Each time I saw Vyra and was then downed at around 28,67. Also, according to that macro that retrieves item information, the mount has not dropped.
Combined I'd say I spent atleast 16 hours looking...no luck yet though. I'll keep this updated.
UPDATE: At 4:21 server time on March 15, I used the macro, and the link worked. If it goes by what has been previously stated he has been killed and looted, but I have no idea where his corpse is.

Possibly the first ever video of the TLPD? In this video, he's flying the CCW Brunnhildar -> Engine of the Makers -> Sifreldar Village -> Bor's Fall -> K3 -> Garm route. I followed him around twice (only the second route is in the video), he seemed to phase out at the end of Garm both times, and reappear a few moments later, ascending back towards Brunnhildar.

It would be ridiculous that Blizzard would have an npc that drops a mount purposely spawn to players who don't log on much, for no reason other than an incentive to be a less than casual player. But in any case, I know of two people on my server that have TLPD and they're on all the time (like literally), they're also in the same guild. Just yesterday I saw another player sitting in Dalaran with the drake, not sure if he just got it that day though.
I do agree that the 20 and 50 minute time seems fishy, as some people have mentioned this before - many people have found TLPD around these times too. I'll try to take note of when people log on at spawn points as of now.
I've been looking for more info on TLPD and found this on the MMO Champ forums, not sure if it's been posted here or if it's old news:
http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/9691/gmtlpdresponse.jpg
Perhaps the two values he's mentioning are the 20 and 50 minute intervals?
I've personally killed Vyragosa once at the blue drakes field and seen him dead at 28,68 (exactly on this hill where this guy got his TLPD:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v336/SilverTsunami/TimeLostKillandLoot.jpg
). The only thing I do know is 9 hours after I killed Vyragosa, TLPD was killed during that time. I didn't check the macro during the 9 hours if TLPD was looted (forgot to spam it!), but when I checked after killing Vyra, it showed "Retrieving information...". So he really could have been killed any time in those 9 hours. I know that doesn't say much or anything new, but it's something. I've seen Dirkee and Vyragosa, but have never seen a TLPD corpse even with the amount of time I spend looking.

Well its not like every less then casual player will obtain it, if it will spawn nearest to one and they may miss it or someone who is hardcore may end up tagging it first. I just find this Drake too coincidentally spawning near people like this almost every spawn only for it to be killed, no corpse left behind, then you see no one on the drake in SP or in Dalaran, I mean if I had gotten TLPD I would be in Dalaran showing it off, 80% of the time this is not the case of any of it. I was @#$%ed off Thursday Morning when this had happened, camping SP for about 3 days, macro which I spawn quite often for server query to see if the dragon was looted yielded results around 5:23 AM in the morning, only to look in all possible locations and not see a corpse or no person on the mount, this has happened many times already.
As for that 2nd pic you got the TLPD kill, I question does TLPD fly the same height as Vyragosa? I know at that very location Vyragosa flies pretty low to the ground, in which case you will usually fight it on the ground or on one of the much lower elevated mtn/hill areas. That particular SS kind of tells me that maybe TLPD flies really high around there and not Vyragosa?

I believe they both fly that high, see this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzWXfelXd7E
.
You'd assume they would show it off, but that's just not the case it seems. Maybe they have other things to do than sit in Dalaran. I know I wouldn't sit there to show it off because I don't care about other people seeing it - I find those that do it just want their 15 seconds of fame because they have something "special." I want it because I want a proto drake and TLPD seems "easier" than the rest to get (working on the Red/Violet and running UP for the RNG to like me for the Blue and same with the Green, Plagued and Black are out of reach for me) not to show it off.
Though I can't explain why you don't find the corpse, since it's been said it despawns in 30 minutes (I know Vyragosa does, watched it despawn) and cannot be skinned apparently - not sure if that's true (unlike Vyragosa), you should be able to find it somewhere in those 30 minutes. For the reason you can't find anyone on it, Storm Peaks is huge.

You would be showing it off only until you got constant whispers from players all over your server and level 1's from alternate faction players (assuming you are on a PvE server).. Personally I'd tell a few guildies and tell them to not tell anyone else, cause I don't want to have to get a character name change.

Just one question.. What does this script do...
/script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Shift-click this to place a link into a chat message: \124cffa335ee\124Hitem:44168:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0\124h\124h\124r");
When it says "Retriving Item Information" and nothing happens does it meen that the Drake is out there or does it meen that it already have been killed/looted?
And when the item information is listed? (never happend me)
what does that meen?
评论来自

There seem to be like four different patrol paths, what's the exact points? Wowhead only shows 1.
And for clarification, the "Retrieving Item Information" means he's not been killed and looted since the Maintence, right?

There is a bunch of info listed at
the item page
that people will probably find useful, insofar as a lot of stuff not on this comments page can be found there.

15 mins ago i tried that script to see if it had been looted , i wasnt able to click it or link it in guild or any kind of chant, but i tried 5 mins ago and it works. i ran around looking for it, but i could not see it, no one claimed to have found it in /1 general, i dont know what the story is, im like hoping to see it if it does a second pass,
Not sure what its meant to do, if someone loot it, or if it spawn, i def dont think someone kill it, and i cant find it,
anyone have mych luck with that script?

you can wait for hours on end trying to get this mount, or you can do heroics with the wyrmrest accord to get exalted and buy the red drake, or you can run CoS to get the bronze drake. Both of them get you rep. and emblems of heroism, as in it is not a complete waste. BTW I have this mount :P

What macros is everyone using to spam while camping for it?
Is it possible to make a macro to /target all 3 of the rare spawns? Then it just selects whatever is finds/is closest to you? IE:
/target Time-Lost
/target Vyragosa
/target Dirkee

Ok
So let's break this down to some simple facts now that we know so much.
TLPD is a rare spawn of Vyragosa,
TLPD therefore is a rare spawn of another rare spawn.
They spawn in up to 10 different location such as the 2 frozen waterfalls in Bor's Breath, multiple places in the field of blue protos near Engine of the Makers, and a spot Northwest of Valkyrion.
They both follow around 5 different paths, some going as far north as Ulduar, south as K3/Garm, west as Brunnhildar, and East as Valkyrion.
TLPD will ALWAYS drop the mount.
Now with all that said..
Who's getting the mount?
The stationary camper at one spawn point, the person following the paths on a wild goose chase all voer Storm Peaks, or the random lucky person who doesn't even know what the that yellow thing is in the air?
I think this depends on activity on the server.
Higher population servers are more likely to have the random person come across while doing one of the many dailies in SP. I think next would be the camper but that's all about patience and luck of the spawn point. The person on the chase is just going to waste his time as while you are moving someone else is going to grab him across the zone.
Lower population is a whole different story though. A chaser that knows all the exact spawn points probably has the best chance here as you are always watching your screen and have a better chance of the spawn escaping the exact spawn area and getting on his path. The camper is again about luck and hoping your either in a good cross section for multiple paths (ie Bor's Breath) or he spawns on top of you. And of course with less people you have less unknown people coming across him.

Ok well I have personally seen the TLPD corpse 4 times and it will stay there for a half hour and cannot be skinned.
My theory on spawning after server reset is basically the server was down for more than the spawn timer, nothing was able ro spawn, so it will spawn randomly after server restart, I too have noticed corpses within hours of most restarts, not immediatly after though.

I finally got it! took me about 4 days of checking but my /target macro finally did the trick. funny though, i found him flying the exact opposite way as everyone else. I targetted him over Valkyrion as he was flying through a little passage heading for Snowdrift Plains and finally down him around 27, 54. Hope that helps!

Is this guy solo-able?
I'm currently questing in the zone and If I see the guy I would want to kill him to get the mount based on how rare the spawn is... But I'm not a group person :p

I am going to start questioning if Dirkee shares a spawn with Vyra and TLPD, from what researching I have done when its about time for Vyra or TLPD to spawn, Dirkee will spawn, including with it being on the 20 and 50 min points as well. once dead, I never see a sign of either drake spawn until another 7-10+ hours.

So, let's break this down into some real facts.
In classic WoW content, rare spawns are more random.
There are anywhere from 1 to 30 per zone.
They have different minimum and maximum times in which they spawn, starting from the time of kill. However, the spawn timer is set for each mob, and it is guaranteed to spawn some time within its range.
There are 1 to 4 spawn points per rare spawn.
While each spawn point will have a specific patrol route (if it isn't stationary), no two spawn points share a path.
Some rares are regular mobs, some are elite, and some are boss level.
All classic instances had rare spawns except Ragefire Chasm, Blackfathom Deeps, and Scholomance.
With TBC content, the rules were simplified a good bit.
All Outlands zones have 3 rare spawns.
All Outlands rares have similar spawn timers, usually 6 to 12 hours.
There are usually 3 spawn points per rare spawn. A couple have 2 spawn points, and a couple have 4.
Again, each spawn point has a specific and unique patrol route if it isn't stationary.
All Outlands rares were originally elite, but they are all regular mobs now and can easily be soloed.
None of TBC instances have rare spawns. There were some seasonal bosses that may or may not appear again.
WotLK rares tend to follow this trend.
All Northrend zones have 3 rare spawns.
All Northrend rares have similar spawn timers, usually 6 to 12 hours.
Spawn points are a little more random. Some seem to have only one spawn point, while some have up to 7.
It still seems as though each spawn point still has a specific and unique patrol route if it isn't stationary.
There are 2 types of Northrend rares. Non-elites have about 12-18k hps. Elites have about 50k hps.
None of Northrend instances have rare spawns.
This being said, TLPD is a special case. TLPD is a rare spawn of a rare spawn. This is the only one in the game. Dirkee is totally unrelated, having nothing to do with TLPD or Vyragosa.
There are only 4 known spawn points (not 10): Brunnhildar Village, Bor's Fall, Bor's Breath, and Frosthold. 3/4 are very close to the frozen lake by Valkyrion.
There are only 4 known paths that they patrol. One going counterclockwise through Brunnhildar village, Sifreldar Village, and K3. One going counterclockwise around the mountain that Frosthold is on. One large one going from Bor's Breath, up the west side to Ulduar, south through the Engine of the Makers, and back to Bor's Breath. The last is a smaller variation around the Temple of Storms.
Who's getting the mount? Simple answer: The campers. I'm on a high population server. I've killed TLPD twice, and helped 3 other people get it. Every time TLPD or Vyra spawns, it is up for a maximum of 10 minutes. If you aren't there, you aren't getting it. Period.
People on a low pop server will still have a better chance if they camp. If you don't really care, feel free to just check the paths on occasion, but if you are determined to get it, you'd better be prepared to camp.

hey bro can you post exactly where are these spawn points?
cause the way you said, the spawn points arent definetaly "points" but regions, areas ... can you post out coords for each of the 4 spawn points? Im also in a high pop server and I wonder where were you camping to kill the TLPD 2 times...
btw... whats up with those gm's screenshots?
1 - 3 spawn points only
2 - no connection with vyragosa
3 - spawn timer that could exceed 6-12 hours
4 - despawns if not tagged..
which of these informations arent true? cause im still believing in them...
right now i do know the spawn points for vyragosa, but i think the TLPD doesnt share these spawn points with vyragosa, cause from what i read among aaaaaaaall the comments, it seems that the tlpd paths a different path...
anyways, for now, if you post exactly with coords what are these 4 spawn points, i would be super glad.

another thing... ive seen the time lost proto drake 2 times dead...
1st time - in front of frigid tomb south of engine of makers
Path: brunnildar > engine > etc etc > k3 etc etc
Spawn point: probably blue drake field or over brunnildar ...
2nd time - he was passing by 35.66 and going north to the engine of makers
Path: i dont know ... maybe the bigger one around the temple of storms of the smaller one...
Spawn point: according to your informations, it would be bor's fall 100% sure ... BUT ... the way i saw it passing in front of me seemed more that he was descending from those ruins ... and ive seen a lot of ppl talking about this spawn point behind that "mountain dock" structure... seems like the tlpd spawns there, descends to the east to bors breath and then head north ...
can you confirm any of these informations ?

hello guys I´ve killed Vyragosa so many times and she always spawns after around 10-12h. The point is that there is more chance vyragosa spawns after 12 or 10 hours. Small chance that it spawns 6-8h :S

Ok guys here is the deal about something super strange that happened:
You guys probably know about that script that detects the information about the time lost proto drake item. Well, there was a time yesterday that i checked my script macro, and still was stucked on the retrieving item information ... but 10 minutes later i hit it again and there it was the info of the mount... immediately i made a group with 5 ppl to search around for the corpse of the time lost proto drake before the 30 min despawn timer ends ...
we $%^&ing searched everywhere, every path, every spawn point, every area next to the paths and simply NOTHING was found...NOTHING... i asked in the /1 channel if any1 had spotted its body ... and no one said nothing ... no one saw nothing ....
i dont know guys but from that point i started to doubt a little bit about the script command... i have some sort of theory to explain what happened but i dont want to say before i hear your opinions ...
just to open your minds with a nice question:
when the server resets and you clear your server cache ... if you make 2 scripts: 1 for the tlpd mount and 1 for warlglaives of azzinoth ... if you hit them just after the server comes up, it will show the information about the warglaives but not the information about the tlpd mount ... if its according to what you guys have been saying, so the warglaive of azzinoth was looted on the 1st second just after the server comes up ... which is pratically impossible ...
so yeah ... the point where the /script macro starts showing the information doesnt mean exactly that the item was looted ...
so ... what does it mean? again: i have a theory for that ... but i wanna hear you guys first ...

Ok so I just logged on, its Tuesday a bit after maintenance, i was parked right between valkyran and the frozen lakes intersection thingy, and i hit my macro, and target him i looked everywhere and coulnt see him , then i looked up and he was there. he was going fast, i only have a 60% mount which is the speed i think he was going, because i was chasing him for a long time, almost the other end of valkyron before i got 40yard range to judge him (holy Pally) when i did dismount and judge him, i hit my key for bubble but it didn't work for some reason, and i died, rushed back revived myself and barely got a glimpse of him before he disappeared, he was going around temple of storms mountain, towards the big hole, and headed back towards the frozen lake, when i finaly got him, this time bubble worked, i was killing him, an 80 horde rogue came that could EASILY have killed me and taken it for him/her self, but he helped me kill it instead.
hope this helps :P
*edit, i added a link to a SS but for some reason its not coming up, im new to wowhead posting, this is my first one.

I swear this is not an April Fools Joke! I just killed TLPD and got the mount. First I want to thank everyone who posted info here that helped me find him. ThankYouThankYouThankYouThankYou!
Ok adding my own info here. Sorry I dont have co-ords, but I was at the south end of the frozen Bor's Breath river when he appeared there. He was flying north along the river heading toward Valkarion. He flew north until just short of Valkarion, and then flew south again retracing his route.
He was flying fairly high (about the same height as the camp where you find the burlap wrapped note). He was flying high enough and far enough from the sides of the canyon that my 'Lock couldn't tag him from the ground or convenient ledges nearby. So I flew my drake past his nose and dove for the ground and he followed me to his doom.
I was so excited just to have tagged him, that he very nearly killed me as two other players stood nearby no doubt hoping for just such an outcome. Hope this helps you get your spiffy new ride!

So yeah ... I FINALLY GOT THIS DRAKE AFTEr 23 hours exactly of my vyragosa kill.
I came here to say:
my theory was wrong.
If you find the "point' that it starts showing the information, then this point can mean 2 things:
1 - Time lost proto drake has spawned
2 - Someone looted it.
10 minutes before the kill the macro was stuck on retrieving item information... after the kill, it showed the information... and no, i didnt check the macro before i looted and just after the kill ... when i killed i went straight for the item ...
ok i killed it at 28.67, over the frozen lake ... was camping there ... he came from the east of bors breath... he was doing the path around frosthold, the same path that my vyragosa kill exactly 23 hours earlier was doing... so yeah, that thing that i said about some sort of connection among the place where the tlpd will spawn and where u killed vyragosa... that may be true ... if you kill vyragosa in a path that is connected to some route, then probably the drake will do the same ... i think he spawned in the begining of bors fall (37.77). So yeah, my theory was wrong but i pointed out some nice things that may be true:
1 - Connection between the spawn point/path that a vyragosa kill procceds and the spawn point/path that the drake will spawn. What happened with me is that example: they were doing the same path and were separated by 23 hours exactly...
2 - The macro thing:
2.1 - If you dont know the exact point that the macro starts showing the info, then if you see it with the info it means it has looted on since the server reset
2.2 - If you know the exact point, this means that:
2.2.1 - The TLPD is up and can be killed.
2.2.2 - His body is up and was killed.
in order to check this we need someone to kill the proto drake, check the macro and see if it shows the information or not.
Anyways thats it... im kinda busy now but later i do a better post helping you guys out ... basicaly i was camping 28.64 and he came from the east ... thats all ... later i do a better post ... not now sorry ...

My boyfriend and I both got ours this week. Well. He wasn't even trying >_< I've been camping it since January, ever since school started back up and I could sit in one spot for long periods of time. All I ever saw was Vyragosa. Sunday I was working on my homework again before a raid when I see in guild my own boyfriend posting the mounts link. I was like "wait... what? but... what?" Yeah. He'd come across it while herbing, freaked out, and killed it... without thinking to call me. He had to fight off a lock who was also dotting it up, so I guess I understand his freaking but I was still rather upset, since he was on an alt at the time. Insult to injury! But he made up for it by being a rare spawn magnet the next night... Monday night after our raid I went to my normal camping spot and said "you found my drake, now go do circles and find it again!" ... and he did, right outside of K3. I flew over as fast as I could and now we are one of the only couples on Bonechewer with matching Time Lost mounts :)
I made a map showing the direction he was flying and where we killed him:

I've been farming TLPD for 5 days now but i hadn't luck to kill him yet. I've been writting down the possible spwan timers, maybe i missed some spwans while sleeping but maybe this can help.
I found Vyragosa on 31/3/08 at 4.50 AM, killed her. I waited 10 hours to see if TLPD would spwan but exatly on those 10 hours Dirkee spwaned right next to the quest npc in near the engine of makers. Some say Dirkee doesn't share the spwan time but can be possible...
Didn't find any of them since, maybe missed them while sleeping.
1/4/2008 i was there all morning and at 19.45 PM i found TLPD dead. I left for 20 min before i find him, came back and found him dead, it was really unlucky for me but i keep looking later.
2/4/2008 i found Vyragosa dead at 13.27, she was killed between 13.20 - 25.
Hope something helped, GL.
Here are some possible locations for Vyragosa and TLPD since they share spawn time and patrols:

Good Lucks on your search for this Drake I dont have times for it But I can tell you right now not easy it all on luck I hope what I said early does assist you.

In addition to that macro, you can also use the addon
_NPScan
to search for the TLPD for you. It does the work of old "/target Time-Lost Proto Drake" macros, but requires no clicking or button mashing. You could even go AFK over a spawn point and let the addon get your attention when it finds something.
It searches for other rares including
Dirkee
and
Vyragosa
at the same time, in case you plan to catch 'em all!

just my luck to farm it unsuccesfully 4 six weeks, even having an alliance kill it RIGHT in front of my eyes. and then of course a few months later randomly logging in in storm peaks, its there. I THINK I @#$%ED MAI PANTS.
location was above the pit in valkyrion so even tho many people dont mention it being there, IT IS.
killed it at 27,61 on top of the building.
my adivce to all u farmers is this:
be ready for lots of farming and almost no results
it is probably the coolest mount in game so far (other than possibly the phoenix).
DONT GIVE UP

Dont know if there is addons for it but there is alot of macro's. You can look them up if u read the comments.
But if u want a normal macro for it just
/cleartarget
/tar time lost
/tar vyra
/tar dirkee
Or if u want a special with sound you can look that up.

It doesn't.
Rare spawns do not spawn at a certain time of day, they are on a timer.
6-12 hours from the death of Time-Lost or it's placeholder, it *could* spawn again.

Well, this is my first wowhead post and i thought i would make an account to share my experiences, and the triumph of finally getting this guy at 9am server time on Kazzak EU.
After a long hard farming campaign, aprox a month and a half of 10 hours a day atleast camping bors breath, and then doing a trip around his most common paths(through bors breath into valkyrion, up into snowdrift plains and then enter engine of the makers and back down to bors breath) with every 5-10 mins taking the ulduar path. I was convinced i would never get this mount due to the fact i have very little good luck, but that was to change. I was on my char, spamming my macro at the top of bors breath, and decided i was gonna get to sleep, but first, to log my bank to check my auctions, and i post the server cache macro and nothing was there..so i was about to log off, when i thought..1 last check can never hurt, so i log back to my main positioned over bors breath..i log in, and 1 push of my macro and BAM im locked on the Time-lost proto drake, was pretty shocked, wasnt sure what to do, lol. but i flew into him and hit him rite in ze face, and then bubbled on my way down, then bashed all of my buttons to make sure i killed this guy before anyone else..he was dead at my feet, what a relief! well worth the wait i must say..but people saying that if vyragosa spawns, and is then killed, if tlpd spawns next, he will take the same path, or spawn at the same spot..was certainly the case for me, vyragosa spawned just above my head a little closer to frosthold, and flew to valkyrion and into the snowdrift plains where a horde killed her..that was at exactly 12:00 server time. then 9 hours later, tlpd spawned in the exact same spot, but didnt fly in the same direction, he was flying towards the end of the lake, possibly was going to fly into the foot stepps..so in my experience they maybe do share paths with eachother if they spawn directly after eachother, but possible not the same route,,coincidence, most likely, but just an experience of mine that i had. iv not once killed vyragosa in my time here but have followed her several times, as vyragosa means nothing to me, all happening to be 24 hours apart, most definately spawns in between that, but u get what i mean..anyways, thanks for all the information iv picked up from here, couldnt have done it without u!
and GL to all the other hunters out there, i was close to giving up, and then when i didnt expect it, hes there..it really does just happen like that, keep at it! the satisfaction after obtaining this beast after such a long time of doing nothing else but pressing a macro, is quite supreme..Catchya later guys!

Okay :) mi first post on wowhead just to help you guyz
i farmed this beast for 7 days of 10 hour atleast camping frozen lake near valkyrion
i saw vyragosa many times ofc
21/4 killed vyragosa at 29.66 at 22:07 came from borths breath
22/4 killed TLPD on exactly same spot at 23:18 came from SAME direction
my theories...
since i killed vyra i havent seen any and i was online for 12 hours so this made me think that timer is very variable shortest vyra respawn i get was exactly 6 hours not even minute less but this one was 25 hour... so its very move able
note: Server restart dont spawn him... proven
next one i believe that tlpd makes same route as vyragosa killed before him but its only my theory
I wish you all hunters the best of luck
Dont give it up.. i wanted to give up after 6 days but dont do it! Mount is worth it :)

Idd w´tih Durnake´n,m The day b4 I killed Time lost. I killed Vyragosa and both had the same route. So I really belive that if u know or if u have killed Vyragosa and then killed Time lost check if they had same route. Because you dont pay attention about this you are just happy about your mount :).

I located him the same place as shown on the map (29.3,65.7). He was flying west on the map, and then proceeded south down towards Frost Hold. So if you're searching for him, you may also want to path down south, otherwise you may miss him.
I didn't want to let him roam too far since I still didn't have the mount, so I lured him onto the moutain edge and killed him with my DK, it's a pretty easy fight, Army of the Dead probably could have finished it off on their own.
I'm glad I happend to be camping out at that spot while watching a show on my secondary monitor!

PROTIP:
Get Snowfall Lager (sold for two relics of Ulduar from a guy in Gromarsh crash site or the alliance one in Frosthold). That's pretty much a no-brainer
BUT: Also get some focusing gems. The things that make the lazor looking thing at your target? That would be invaluable if you want to find him fast once you have him targetted, especially if you have view distance down :)

Quick and simple question, how high, give or take, does she fly? (Yes it's a she to me, don't all women play hard to get) :P
评论来自

'She' fhy at the same altitude as the blue proto drakes, the ones that fly higher in the pack, but it also depends of where 'she' is, sometimes she'll fly very high to get access to other places high above, so it's no use to stay on the ground level.

The day after the wrath opening, I was 72 exploring the Storm Peaks hoping to get the server first World Explorer achievment (Which I missed by 2 hours). I was butting my head against the harpy area near frosthold and the ice waterfall when a big dragon flew by. I saw it was an 80 elite called "Time-Lost Proto Drake". Being 72, I stood away from it and let it pass.
Then later I learn it drops a mount and is one of the rarest mobs in the game. I might have been the first person on the server (Azgalor) to see it, if not all of WoW. Seeing now that it only has 18k health, I probably could have taken it down :(

Actually, rarespawns have been known in MANY cases to have a chance to spawn at certain times of the day. Practically every rarespawn in outland has a % chance to spawn at certain intervals, and that is the case with many in northrend too. I do not know if that is the case with this one, though, and doubt anyone can confirm it.
Edit: Further down the page, someone seems to have confirmed it. ;>
Rating down? This is useful information. Someone down there is collecting data and its showing that all kills are within 10 minutes or so from the top of the hour. This suggests that it only spawns at the top of the hour. Anyone seeing the pattern here? This is how the outland mobs worked.

Okay, after reading every single one of these post it is a shame that not one Person Mention NPCScan Add on. Ya it makes getting this mount a milllion times easier and every other Rare spawn in the Game. NPCScan is located on
www.wowinterface.com
website, you can search it on Google. Download it go to Menu on your screen and then to interface click on add on section adn you can test Rare spawn alert. Once you get it you can send me cash on Doomhammer Server hehe, Happy Hunting!

Got mine a few days ago after several months of searching for him. Keep spamming that macro and you will get yours as well.
As for statistics I killed Vyragosa about 8 time in total and Dirkee about 5. I saw TLPD dead once before I got mine a few weeks later. DO NOT GET DISCOURAGED!

now, im not positive on this, but someone on trade chat killed this the today, and he said that his health has been dramatically heightened from 18900 to at least almost 30k health now
personally, i dont believe that, and why would blizz do that anyways
lets see, lvl 80 elite that does not hit hard with only 30k health, u see more than twice that in a heroic instance
even if the health is increased like he said, still, now he will only spawn in one location, and 30k is easy, and i guess it must be spawning more too, ive seen 3 more people with it lately, and with a mount this rare, u know who and who doesnt have it
if u wanna see that location, wowhead has already marked it on the map above

Can anyone comment on his altitude? Does he ever fly close the ground or always way up?
评论来自
Imatree
He will ALWAYS fly high up, about 60-100 yards if previous posts and videos of him are anything to go by.
However, I believe that Blizz would've designed it so that only people who have flying can get him and drag him to the ground. It also would mean that only people who have the intent to catch and kill him would have the chance, since you would have to fly up to tag him and you wouldn't be able to see him from the ground unless you had the targeting macro.

I have given up on ever seeing or getting this drake. Yes, I've seen players with him... but seeing as I've camped for weeks on end, and I've never seen Time Lost, Dirkee, OR Vyragosa... not even their dead bodies... That's a sign. Using macros and scanners... never seen any of them.

of the Time-Lost Proto Drake's complete paths (not after the fact, this guy follows the live NPC!)...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRbOssnGZ9s
It doesn't get much more "confirmed" than that. Though there's definitely more than this one potential path, of course, at least you now have a grasp of how high/fast it flies...
I've created a map with the path plotted out as confirmed by the video footage...
http://www.geocities.com/prazejc/TLPD_Video_Path.jpg
The person capturing the video was on a PTR for 3.1 at the time, but if you look at the many kill screenshots posted here and elsewhere, this path seems to check out nicely... good luck!

The Time-Lost Proto-Drake, atleast when I found it, flys closer to the ground, but not close enough to hit with a spell. I had to flip in to flight form and fly through it to get its attention. Then I just landed, flipped in to bear form and owned it. Took only a few hits to kill it and got my sweet mount at location 51, 50. I used the addon silverdragon.
http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/silver-dragon.aspx
Sets off an alert when it (or any rare) is near and puts a nice Portrait of the mob on your screen you can click on to target it, then just figure out exactly where it is. You can only target the mob if it is in range so this gives you a good idea of about where it is. Works like a charm!

I was flying back to Dalaran after finishing dailies with Sons and I thought I'll make 1 round and then continue. At 11.09 AM I targetted TLPD flying from Snowdrift Plains, heading towards Valkyrion. Here's where I basically targetted and pulled to the ground

Spawned for me a moment ago. Appeared just south east of Valkyrion and flew over Valkyrion and into the valley heading towards snowdrift plains.
In terms of how high it was flying - best description would be at a height of around 1.5 times that of the first hut you see as you enter Valkyrion from the South East entrance.
Hope the below screenshot is clear - it shows me in flight form following behind him;

Well, I'm not really sure about this...
Basically,
Far Sight
lets your sight jump instantly anywhere you can SEE on the horizon. If it were blocked by a mountain or something like that, you can't see around it, because you can't target the ground around it.
I just know this because I play a huntard. Hunters have a spell that is EXACTLY like
Far Sight
,
Eagle Eye
(except that it costs less mana and is instant XD).
However, with the help of a Macro, you can use
Eagle Eye
/
Far Sight
as much as you want.
The Shaman spell "Far Sight" works the same way as Eagle Eye does, and gives the same visual effect. In PvP, the foe has no way of knowing whether it is a Shaman or Hunter watching them.
Also, despite what soultwister says, you can indeed "chain cast" Eagle Eye, but not without a macro. Normally, if you cast Eagle Eye and try to recast it, it instead cancels it. But if you make the following simple macro, it will work:
/cast !Eagle Eye
It's the "!" that does it. Instead of toggling the spell, it forces it to recast it. This work with Aspects, too. Anyway, try it. Cast Eagle Eye on something, maybe a mountain at a zone's edge, and then hit the button for this macro and click somewhere that normally is out of sight - your vision changes to that spot. It still does seem have a range limit, but it allows you to see areas that were previously impossible to see (or are simply really far away).
It's amazing what very strange things Blizzard hides just out of view. I'd imagine that one could use this trick to get a peek at places like Hyjal. It also makes it quite easy to look at the opposing faction's spawn before a BG starts to get an idea of what you're up against.
Have some fun with it!
Thanks to Brighid for that insight. Now those pesky mountains can be avoided. :D
I'm assuming this works with Far Sight, too. But I won't post it, because if you can't figure out how to edit that macro to customize it to Far Sight, you shouldn't be able to use macros in the first place (intuition, people!)
As for the:
My main question is for other Npcscan users and that are also shaman. After nearly 120 hours of camping at the frozen lake ( mostly 8h+ camps ) it came to me that shamans have a spell called "far sight". Now I wonder as this has an unlimited range and can be casted over and over it allows you to see nearly anywhere in Storms Peak, can you target TLPD ( or any other rare spawn tbh ) when useing a macro or in my case NPCscan. Both at the characters current location AND the location of the far sight spell at the SAME moment that is ofcourse.
I don't know the answer to that question, but you can try it out...(if you are a Shammy / Hunter that is...)
Also, for you non-Shammies / Huntards, you can use
Ornate Spyglass
. It doesn't work the same way as Far Sight / Eagle Eye, in which those two actually send your sight
to
the place you target, but it basically "Lets you look far into the distance", which means you stay in place with your boring old Character Viewpoint, but your "Sight" Range is
DRAMATICALLY
increased. This means, if you were standing in the middle of the frozen lake in Bor's Breath, but couldn't see Valkyrion (typo?), you would be able to at least be able to see the Two Guards, if not more people inside. However, just like Eagle Eye / Far Sight, you have to be grounded for this to work.
Enough information? :)
EDIT: Sorry, use these items / spells at your own lagging risk. By that, I mean they may cause lag to your computer when you attempt to load everything in the area at once...

Hi all you TLPD hunters/campers :)
I just wanted to do my bid in the hunt for this illusive mount.
After 1½ months of camping this baby from 9-18 five days a week on a seperate screen while working I finally found the TLPD and got my mount today! WOOT.
Server: EU, Bloodhoof
Character: Kithiaar (if anyone on BH have questions)
So here is the list of my sightings (havent noted coords, soz) and other ”observations”
- TLPD seems to be a rare version of Vyragosa as others have noted
- Despawn time of the corpes have been exactly 30 min except for 2 instances, where it was below 3 min. Think it might despawn just after being skinned.
- Vyragosa/TLPD is hard to pull any other way than flying through them. When you do this there is a chance that their attack dismounts you and as the fly very high you might die from fall damage as the TLPD flys away.. For this reason: If you do not have a bubble/slow fall spell or similar REMEMBER TO BRING SNOWFALL LAGER which can be purchased at the Crash site for 2 Relics of Ulduar.
Apr 28th 09
Vyragosa spotted just above Bor's Fall coming around up the fall/around the mountain heading towards Bor's breath. Killed 20:51 EU time, body despawned at 21:21 (after 30 min sharp)
May 7th 09
Found TLPD dead just on top of Bor's Fall at 17:55 just 5 y outside my NPCscan range; have been flying towards Bor's Breath.
May 14th 09
Found Vyragosa dead at the southern entrance to Valyrion. Despawned at 16:53
May 18th 09
Vyragosa spawned (or maybe have come down from Valkyrion, not 100% sure) over Bor's Breath. Helped kill her, but kill went to a NE rouge (and i write rouge intently here!) Strangely despawned within 2 minutes. (perhaps because of skinning?). Killed at 14:39
May 26th 09
Vyragosa killed above Bor's Breath (ice lake) coming from Valkyrion. Despawned within 3 min (possibly because of skinning)
May 28th 09
Vyragosa killed – came down from Valkyrion towards Bor's Breath. Killed her just outside the southern wall at 10:39. Despawned at 11:09.
May 29th 09 (a glorious day!)
TLPD killed just outside the southern wall of Valkyrion. Came flying over Bor's Breath and seemed to come from the Frosthold direction (rather than up along the frozen river). (Unfortunately i have no screen as this might have confirmed a route around the mountain and Frosthold.
Good luck fellow hunters! Enjoy the wait.. its worth it!
- Kithiaar, Bloodhoof, EU

As silly as it may sound, the video posted earlier in this thread actually helped me score TLPD:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRbOssnGZ9s
Actually seeing the thing alive for someone else kinda restored my faith that I would find it too. I caught him randomly, after I'd given up some 200 hours of camping (and only one corpse) and had gone to only a few loops a day, including completing the "Overstock" quest at K3.
My macro hit gold at 10:54 pm server time, and I found the TLPD as he flew past the waterfall at Bor's Fall, just about to make that sharp turn back down to K3 (I was flying up towards Bor's Breath) having just completed my daily. He literally seemed to come out of thin air, and I was so shocked to see him, I sat there for a moment dumbfounded, expecting him to gray out at any second. Once I realized WHAT I was seeing I easily kited him down over the waterfall and killed him.
One of the things worth mentioning is Vyragosa has a mana bar and TLPD does not. As soon as my macro hit, I honestly expected Vyragosa and before I even looked at my purple whisper text or the mob's name I saw the lack of a mana bar. He's got 18,900 health, same as Vyragosa, although he seems to fly faster (probably has to do with Vyra's huge size as compared to TLPD). He goes down so fast, it's honestly hard imo to steal him if someone else has the tap. Chances are he'll be dead before you kill the opposing faction player.
Also, I'd strongly recommend NOT using the Snowfall Lager unless you are positioned exactly over him or someone else is trying to kite him down and you're trying to steal. I tried the Lager as a test on Vyragosa and fluttered right past her, she was suddenly out of range to damage, so I had to remount and kite her down manually. Especially don't use it if you catch him in FRONT of the waterfall as I'm pretty sure you'll float all the way down to the bottom of the falls and it'll cause him to reset.
Also, approximately 26 hours after my kill, a guildmate tagged the TLPD in the same spot and scored the mount. He isn't skinnable, probably like a trophy sort of thing like hanging Onyxia's head, or at least a way of making others in the zone /facepalm for being in the right place at the wrong time. Good Luck!

Just so you are all aware (since this seems to have come up a lot recently in TLPD posts), auto clicking is breaking the ToS, even if you're using a keyboard that has this sort of function built into it. I've seen blue posts on the issue as I looked it up myself, I can probably dig it up again if needed.
This is why you automatically D/C after 20-30 minutes of being idle. Blizz has stated time and time again they do not want automation in the game, as it gives an unfair advantage to players using it. Auto macros are very simply a basic form of botting.
Sucks I know, spending hours upon hours by your computer to manually prevent going AFK is a pain. However, you need to be aware you're risking a ban if you get caught. Use at your own risk.

It means no one with the mount has logged on after the maint if it doesn't show it.
If they actually learned the mount this is not the case, the script generaly tells you if it has dropped since the last server downtime.

Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good! After spending endless hours reading the TLD information here and other sites, camping the various spawn points and flight intersection points it happened! Since the TLD macro had shown the Reigns of the TLD were not in the server cache since Tuesday after the "abnormal" weekly maintenance, I was preparing to pull an all nighter and camp the TLD, figuring it had to be close to a spawn time. So I logged on to get situated and do a few quick quests in the zone.
There I was, simply doing my daily quest in Brunnhildar Village "Back to the Pit", had killed 2 riders and was fighting the third when my TLD alarm (scannpc) went off - the Time Lost Proto Drake had spawned right above me! I quickly dismounted, ran out of the pit, mounted and flew up to see the TLD just heading toward the Maker's Engine. So, I flew through him to gain aggro, found a close safe spot, dismounted and killed him within a short distance from his spawn point. My data indicated he spawned exactly at 48,66. I killed him at 46,65.
So, here is my advice/information to seekers of the TLD:
You need an alarm addon. Either scannpc or SilverDragon. I had both, both went off. I like scannpc best because it has a really loud alarm - can't miss it.
Location 48,66 is a confirmed spawn point.
Get the TLD macro - it tells you if the Reigns of the Time Lost Proto-Drake are in the server cache. If it can't retrieve the item information - he has not spawned and been killed. That basically means he's going to spawn - in my case it was between 10PM Tuesday night and 8:50am on Thursday morning (Central Time US). This was also on Runetotem server. Almost two days from server re-start. So, visit the zone often.
The more time you spend in the zone, obviously the better chance you have - so visit and be persistent.
If you see Dirkee or Vyragosa, jot down the times (even if you didn't kill them) and dates. Since they share timers (in my opinion) those times are a good guide to when a next spawn might occur - it's the best information you can get.
Most of all keep the faith. I've tamed 4 rares with my hunter, including King Krush (one of the hardest tames in the game) and multiple rare mobs - patience and consistency are the keys. You will probably try and fail, but keep trying and good hunting!

I'd just like to point out one fact that has already been stated but most still, somehow, seem to be overlooking.
Time-Lost Proto Drake
Vyragosa
These two mobs share spawns. Dirkee
does not
share a spawn with either of these two dragons. He has his own, separate, spawn. (Side note: This guy is not a dragon, btw, he is a robot.)
Realm: Fenris
Player: Myself (Sajakain)
In this moment I killed Dirkee. (For a second time). You see the loot that dropped off of him in the chat window where I picked it up. You will notice the time of 5:00 AM server time of me picking up this loot.
Dirkee Kill
Then, just over an hour later you see that my addon has found Vyragosa, already dead. I congratulate whoever killed her, but the important aspect is the time. It was less than 6 hours that the two dragons, Time-Lost Proto Drake and Vyragosa, share. The time was 6:09 AM that my addon found her.
Vyragosa Found Dead
I have seen the Time-Lost Proto Drake dead, twice, in the 3 months I have been looking for it. One of these days I will run across him.
For those of you who are wondering, the addon that I use, as you can tell from the Vyragosa kill, is called "NPCScan". You can find it here:
Download NPCScan
.
This addon simply scans your targeting area for you. No macro needed. Just go about your regular buisness (dailies, farming, what have you), and if a rare comes up in your targeting area this nice little addon will let you know. Please, however, make sure you read the description on this addon before using it as it has important information on how to properly reset it once you have found a rare in case you decide to you want to find it again. (For instance if you found a rare, but found it dead.)
I hope this helps. If you have any questions, look me up on Fenris, (US Realms).

2 days ago I killed Vyragosa at about 4:41 pst time, then yesterday Dirke spawned at 3:30 ish. Much to my surprise Vyrasgosa spawned just 1 hour after that.
I have yet to see the TLPD spawn or even a corpse after being here 3 days with just taking a break sleeping or quick hodir daily's. No one else in the area has reported seeing it either when i ask.
Realm: Dalaran
Vyr spawned 1st on the mountain immeaditly next to Frosthold, 2nd time was at the abandoned camp where i saw the corpse, and Dirke was NE of Engine of the Makers

I saw him flying south in Bor's Breath right when it turns south at 36.7, 68.1, look at the screenshot i submitted to see where it was. When i saw it, i got so pumped up, and flew as fast as I could after it, It must have been going fast though, as I lost it on my 60% speed flyer =(

Bored? In Storm Peaks? Then here's your remedy...
Fly around the suspected spawn areas of the Time-Lost Proto Drake, preferably where there are many players, and type the following:
/e points at Time-Lost Proto Drake

saw Vyragosa again, it spawned right above me at around 27, 65, flew north to valkyiron, turned northeast over that little gap, when I killed it, This was all about 24 hours after I saw it last, Looking at the numbers, it may have spawned exactly 24 hours after I saw someone else kill it

From what i have gathered from all these comments, that is roughly where he flys. His spawn timer is between 5-8 hours from when he last died/despawned, but his placeholder; Vyragosa can spawn instead.
These are just facts gathered from here, I havnt actually seen this in game.
Happy camping/raging over the Time-Lost Proto Drake's corpse!
PS- I found his corpse, not a pretty sight :(

I'd just like to add it's a royal pain to get her to follow you down to the ground. I was camping her while asleep and she woke me up, got her to look at me, but wouldnt not follow me down. I'd let her hit me to half health, or even dismount me with her frost bolt, and I'd just go OOC. I FINALLY got her on the ground, while me being still half-asleep and half health aggro'd two of the icebound revenants which killed me (I should've been in combat spec..). I ressed, got back to /targetting her and it found her, but I couldn't see her anywhere. I flew ALL OVER storm peaks trying to match her flight path and find her again, coming back to where I originally targetted her over the bear pit and she was just sitting there hovering, like she was watching the bear fights. It seems like she may stay there for a long time. Two allis (pally/rogue) and another horde were now working on getting her to come down now- I got her to look at me again, where she just frostbolted me off my flyer and would've sent me to my death again had I not had some Snowfall Lager. Two allis managed to finally drag her over to the cliff, took her to half health where I dove in and killed both of them in a blind rage, but she wouldn't untag. They repopped on me together, killed me, and finished their kill as the graveyard was RIGHT there :/
So, lesson learned. Im glad it wasn't TLPD.
1) Be ready to spend some time kiting her down to the ground
2) She dismounts you- go buy some Snowfall Lager
3) Be mindful of nearby mobs that will ruin your otherwise easy kill
4) You can keep your tag on her if you die, for a short while
5) She seems to like to park at Brunnhildar Village and watch the bear fights

Also even though I didn't see the body, will I need to delete my cache folder?

Holy poo! After over 80 hours of continuous camping and questioning my sanity, I finally gots me a Time-Lost Proto Drake! The first day I followed the drake's patrol paths and got nothing. After doing more research, I decided to just sit at 29,66 and hope for the best. I installed _NPCscan and just sat there. I slept with headphones on just in case he showed up.
At around 5:50pm ST on Scilla, the alarm sounded. I got so scared, because I didn't see him. I mounted and flew up into the air in a panic and lost my target on him. Freaking out I flew back to my original spot, and it turned out the _NPCscan alarm sounded before he actually spawned. So, there he was waiting patiently for me on the ground. Good boy!
Still flustered, and scared someone in the area would tag him, I took a shot at him while still in flight. At the last second, I remembered to activate my parachute (would have definitely squashed myself from that height). Anyhoo.. long story short: I found him, killed him, and now he's my friend.
Don't give up the dream! Your drake is out there too!

Ok. Something
very weird
happened tonight for me.
Now in alot of heavily supported posts, the minimum spawn timer for Vyragosa (or TLPD) is 6 hrs. This has been shown by logs and personal experience. I have also noticed that Vyra is likely to spawn between 6-12 hrs from her last death. Here's my story tonight:
I log in for a day of camping for the TLPD. I kill Vyragosa at 5:45 PM. Her corpse is skinned 10 mins later by a wanderer. I use the "query server for item" macro every 30 mins (The macro that shows any news of the TLPD reins being looted since the last maintenance.. which was Tuesday ). At 11:00 PM tonight I go to query and and the Time-Lost Reins no longer shows "retrieving item data" and shows its full descript. I panic and start looking for its corpse. No luck. I ask alliance trade and horde trade in dal on my lvl 1 horde socializer.. and neither faction recently heard of someone coming and yelling "I killed it!" So no corpse, no discovery hysteria. I go back to the camp spot near Valk and Vyragosa spawns at 12:00 AM (6 hrs and 15 mins after last death) which I kill again.
What baffles me is, if the Time-Lost Proto Drake was presumably killed and looted and the Reins hits the newly wiped server cache at 11:00 PM.. then the 6 hr min spawn timer is no longer valid... OR, they don't
share
a spawn timer to begin with!
Anyone witness this weirdness? Is the macro a reliable source?

I think I'll post a socially acceptable comment now that I'm not %^&*ed off.
It's been about 2 and a half weeks now since I became interested in this mount and wanted to try and get it. I've been sitting at Bor's Breath for 15 hours a day for the 2 and a half weeks I've been here...I've seen Vyragosa about 3-4 times and it was just 3-4 days ago when I saw my TLPD and thought my search was over..being that it was 9 AM I rushed over there half tired not knowing what to do..and threw a dot on him without thinking and I fell to my death and a druid got him.
The next night we did ulduar but the raid was called early so I go outside the instance log off turn on NPCscan come back went afk for literally 30 seconds to get a drink..come back..NPC FOUND TLPD and my hunter friend who has been helping me for the past week now was calling for me on vent so I could kill it but a horde was going to tag it so finally he just decided to kill it..now that I think about it I'm glad he did.
Because it's now July 1st 1 am pacific as I was watching videos mindlessly not expecting much NPCscan went off and I see TLPD across from me..there is a bloodelf mage right next to me ready to get him aswell..this time I dot him I got the tag and I snowfall lagered my way down..the mage helped me kill it to half then switched to me when he realized it was my tag.
needless to say..2 and a half weeks and I got my drake. Don't give up hope guys and you will get yours too! :D

My Target macro looks something like this:
/cleartarget
/tar Time
/stopmacro ,
/script PlaySound("ReadyCheck");
/run RaidNotice_AddMessage(RaidBossEmoteFrame,"Found Target!", ChatTypeInfo)
It will target the TLPD if he's in range, and if he's alive, it will play the Ready Check Sound and display a raid warning saying "Found Target".
I've yet to be successful in even seeing his corpse thus far, but this macro has helped me in pursuit of other rare mobs. It lets you know rather unsubtly that you have found your target.
If you want to change the sound played on target location, change the "ReadyCheck" (leave the quotation marks) in the fourth line to something in the big list (in the box) on
this page

I got him today as I was flying straight up from the outside of Bouldercrag's Refuge.
I have this habit of flying up and over the mountains in storm peaks instead of around, and thank god for that, cause as I was going to the top of the mountain (the mountain that contains bouldercrag's refuge) I saw him. I was so used to clicking on proto drakes and being disappointed that I sat there for a moment in disbelief, I actually almost didn't even bother to check the name.
anyway I kited him to the peak, killed him and that was that, 0 previous hours of camping

Here's a decent question for you guys.
Now there are lots of people who got this drake with pure luck while doing dailies or farming ore/herbs. There's also lots of people that camped and still wound up with the drake due to luck/knowledge, etc.
What would you guys consider the best tactic on a high population server like Moon Guard? On average, there's 20+ people online in Storm Peaks, and that's just Alliance. Who knows how many are on Horde. Would you patrol, as shown in Donnovan's video on Youtube (
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuK__L_1D3A
)? Or would you camp at a place with multiple routes like Bor's Breath, like most say as a way to avoid burning out? Which option would prove to be the most successful or recommended?

I've caught the TLPD on each of my 3 80s. If you are serious about tagging and killing this rare, then i recommend NPCScan and camping the small lake north of Frosthold. I can verify that there are 2 different spawn points there. One is right over the lake, and flies down the river. The second is against the hill Frosthold is on and flies north over Valkyrion. The hill spawn is higher, while the lake spawn is lower in altitude. 1 of my kills was luck while i was checking the known flight routes right before a server maintenance, and TLPD spawned SE of the engine of the makers, flying with the blue protos.
My suggestion would be to camp the lake for the 2 spawn points, and periodically to the engine and check the blue protos, then fly back.
The routes above I mentioned are not full routes, because of quick tags and kills, but they are personally witnessed routes.
EDIT --
Just read the above comment, TLPD can spawn more than once a week and not just after a maintenance. I caught my first one on a sunday morning, and caught my 2nd one 48 hours later just before morning maintenance on a Tuesday.

Just got my third TLPD kill on Eredar (second went to my girlfriend, this one to my alt Healadin).
Logged in to fly the usual routes, and quickly I spotted him on the red Ulduar route flying north towards the Engine of the Makers. Gogo Crusader Aura!
The moment I get close enough to tap him, his name goes grey. A horde paladin had gotten the tap!
Amazingly, my holy paladin was able to kill this horde ret before he was able to kill the TLPD. He even used his bubble.

I've been camping the TLPD for about 8 days. So far I've killed Vyragosa about 8 times, on two ocassions I killed her twice in one day. I haven't come across the TLPD dead or alive as of yet. I'm not religiously camping it, I do need my sleep afterall. Apparently someone killed it at about 11:30pm yesterday, but I was suspicious as they wouldn't show me the body.
I kept track of some of my Vyra kills, but not all (I forgot xP). The times I have are:
8:45pm
11:15pm
11:45pm
11:45pm
And today it was about 11:30am? Something like that.
I'm pretty sure the times don't really mean anything. But no harm in keeping notes on it, may turn out useful.
Edit: Forgot to mention that I camp at Bor's Breath (the frozen lake, the 27.9, 65.0 mark on the map)

This is interesting information that I heard and have confirmed myself.
I've read somewhere that there are only or at least or about 5 rare elites up at once, in Northrend. Many times I have had 2/3 rares up at once in one zone. I've yet to have all 3 be up at once. I'm not sure if this is fact, but if it was, then there might be a limit on how many rares are up at once in order to reduce them being farmed. So, if you kill one, another will spawn, if we go along w/ the 5 up at once theory.
I've completed Frostbitten almost twice now, with killing many rares I didn't need, numerous times just because it's stupid to leave them up. I've noticed that rares tend to spawn on the hour maybe a few min over, and sometimes around the half hour. Mostly on the hour though. When I was hunting for the last few on Frostbitten, the ones I was looking for had been spotted just after the hour had struck. It could be a somewhat late spawn, or just it was found a few minutes later.
Then we also have the spawn timers that rares tend to follow which is on average 6 to 8 hours. That's also a safe bet to go by.
With my experience in this achievement, rares tend to follow all three rules. I've had many rares spawn on the hour, I've had a streak of rare kills just in patting around Northrend. Luckily it was along my patrol, but I did not go back to ones that weren't previously there after killing others. I've also had rares spawn on a 6 to 8 hour timer.
Today, I was just about to log out, and NPCScan picked up Putridus the Ancient in Icecrown, while I was sitting in Dalaran. I got a group (I was on my mage) and killed him in minutes, and then chatted for a bit. It was a bit after 11 PM ST. I then decided to head to Storm Peaks. I found Vyragosa about 5 minutes after Putridus died, flying about, from her Brunhildar spawn point. Most realms heavily farm TLPD, so Vyra rarely will be flying about freely unless just had spawned. Vyra just spawned on my realm and I was the first to see her.
I didn't check for any rares after that though.
So, after all of that, I think all rares are connected to one another by the kill one and another will spawn rule. However, in the random lottery of who's going to spawn next, the one that just died will not respawn for another 6 to 8 hours. The lower level zones, can have rares patting around for idk how long. So, they can either depsawn, triggering another to spawn, or another "could" spawn on the hour.
Most of us have seen/killed Vyra on the hour. Oddly enough, I've seen TLPD at like 8:48 PM ST. Some obscure and random time. It HAD to have just spawned because on my realm there is always 30+ players in that zone, that time of night. So, for the rares that obviously don't live very long, spawn due to another rare dying.
It was just luck that I thought of checking Storm Peaks after killing Putridus. It was before 11:30 PM when I found Vyra, so it wasn't a peak spawn time. It was a random lottery spawn.
I was after Loque'nahak in Sholazar, and I just happened to fly right into him at some obscure time. The rares in Sholazar are hard to find w/ hunters always trying to tame them. So, Loque'nahak had just spawned in one of it's more popular areas (near the gorillas), and it was just after another rare was killed. In fact, I had just killed Crazed Indu'le Survivor and decided to head to Sholazar for a chance at the cat. My friend had killed another rare before Crazed so Crazed probably spawned due to his kill.
I have not been able to test this yet, but there might be a way to force a spawn of TLPD.
Get 24 players in a raid group. Put 3 in each zone w/ a rare. In the zones that have rares spawn in specific areas, keep 1 player on that rare. For the rares w/ large patrols, have the 3 players in that zone keep an eye out for all three there. A rare will ALWAYS be up, unless of course all 24 (including TLPD) were killed, then they are all on the 6-8 hour spawn timer, then you've no idea where the next one(s) will be. Assuming everyone is tracking the correct areas and using NPCScan (which I believe is the best mod for rare tracking), they should find each rare as it spawns due to the death of another rare.
If it works out, it could force TLPD to spawn due to the fact it's technically 1/24 Northrend rares.
So, rares do spawn on the hour. Rares also do spawn every 6 to 8 hours (or at least the one that dies will respawn then and that's probably including Vyragosa and TLPD for obvious reasons), and rares to spawn minutes after another rare is killed.
Make of it what you will, but this is what I've seen in farming for TLPD and completing Frostbitten 1.96 times.

I would take comments in general with a heavy pinch of salt, especially when it comes to asking if they've seen a rare spawn of recently. A lot of people "will" lie just to try get rid of competition. Has happened in Sholazar when I was intending to tame Loque'Nahak. A player asked in general in which another hunter replied that it was killed recently, except that I tamed it about half an hour later.

I was waiting around for a Ulduar raid to begin, and as I've had a habit of doing lately I was sitting on my flying mount just south of the big hole in Storm Peaks. And behold! TLPD spawned right in my face. I killed him and got it :) Really easy... Spent maybe 2 hours total "camping" it before I got it. It's as simple as that. Also killed Vyragosa a few days before that while doing the Tournament daily where you get the stone blocks from Storm Peaks. She also spawned in the same place, but on a diffrent patrol route.
And on a side note, that thing about rares spawning at or around new hour or half hour, might be true. I only took a screenshot of my TLPD kill and that was shortly after 20:00 server time.

* Not my kill.
Hopefully the TLPD spawns next time instead of Vyragosa, but I'm not expecting it. I do hope I find him, though.
Edit: I'm no longer updating the times and locations I've seen Vyragosa. It doesn't give any pertinent information about the TLPD. They don't share a spawn timer, just locations.
Update I: Almost four weeks of camping this mob. Two days ago, I missed him by two hours. I found out another person got him three days ago in the afternoon. Someone I helped get Skoll for saw his corpse two weeks ago in my usual camping location around 2 in the morning. I keep missing this mob! I am praying he spawns over the weekend and I get him.
Update II: He didn't spawn over the weekend, but I'm continuing to camp this location. I'm trying not to get discouraged, but it's hard.

does anyone know what direction he pats on the 4 paths he has? most all my other questions were answered by reading most of the stuff here and on thottbot. but no one seems to mention anything about spawn locations or pat directions.
in addition lower on this page someone put where they saw him and where they killed him suggesting he pats in a clockwise direction on the large path in the north west going up near ulduar.

I decided to write and post a complete guide to the Time-Lost Proto Drake on the MMOwned.com website. It took me almost 8 straight hours to write, and I'm hoping that with this post I can get more people to get some benefit from my hard work.
The guide is pretty much a compilation of all the information you see in guides and comments in this site, with plenty of screenshots and maps for all those people who hate reading. The link is

, and if you actually enjoy the post, please don't hesitate to sign up for an account and post on the thread. It'd make my day....it really would. >.>

I have quiet a story with this rare..
At the launch of wotlk, I made a dk, leveled him to 80, and started camping. I must've camped for weeks but with no luck. I killed vyragosa atleast 6 times and dirke 4 times or so. I woke up one day at 10 am, logged in, to see the drake's dead corpse :(. I only saw him once. So, I gave up. I started playing on my shaman after atleast 6 months. My brother started a warlock alt. He was level 77, with normal flying mount - and all of sudden, I hear him arguing with my other brother in the next room and saying "Hit him fast". Ofcourse, when I went to their room, I saw the time lost attacking them..they had him tagged and was going for the kill :_:. They killed him exactly at Engines of the maker, near the big circle.
After he killed him, he looted, and got on his 60% and flew away -_-. Needless to say I was more than !@#$ed ;p.
So i decided to camp him again, I camped him for 4 days or so, till I remembered all the time lost on trying to kill this rare and decided that getting the green drake from the egg has better odds. So i got my rep up with the oracles and got the egg. I decided today would be the last day of farming the time-lost. I started at 10 pm, thought i would wait for a couple of hours and then stop. at about 11:30 pm, I was flying north of Nidavelir, going on the path to ulduar, when ofcourse, NPSCan caught him. it looked as if he just spawned, going south.
Goodluck to everyone camping him! :D

after a kill from vyra or tlpd is 6hour nothing, nothing a spawn. he can spawn directly after a kill >6h<(is the minimum), 7h, 8h 5min. ... .. .. etc..
up to 24h (is the Maximum). in this period of time is at least a spawn!
At least once a day is a spawn to 100%, it can be the tlpd or vyragosa.
Look at my Video you will see in the short scene the 4 Spawnpoints from alle the 4routes. This are to 100% only the spawnpoint. There comes Vyra or TLPD from a mountain! You can camping directly at this point and pull. :) You still 3freaky Guildmembers or friends they are camping only for the Dragon you con position all the 4 spawnpoints and wait for the spawn :)
Sorry for my spelling. I´am German and my English is not so good :)
But the information from me and my Video is to 100% correct.

So I've been camping 24/7 for 3 weeks at the Frozen Lake... I only log off when I'm driving to/from work.
I've seen Vyragosa numerous times, never Dirkee (but that's probably because I haven't moved).
I left today for about an hour to go pick my girlfriend up from work, and when I got home, NPCScan had found the TLPD, and when I targetted him, he was already dead. His limp body draped over a roof's edge in Valkyrion.
I want to cry...

I just killed him, new drake for me...lol. I was farming herbs and npc scan went off, I was looking everywhere then he flew over me. Followed him for about 2 min, I landed on a cliff and tagged him. I must say that I was extremely lucky because I was not even looking for him or knew he would be in the area I was in. For a level 80 elite my level 77 pet that I was leveling was handling him quite well. Is this Drake one of the hardest mounts to Obtain?

Does anyone know how high it flys at ?

It depends on the location. Over K3, its quite a height.
However in Bor's Breath, its not bad. If you head just East of the Frozen Lake/Valkyrion location, there is a large round metal opening in the northern rock face... he flies slightly below this opening in Bor's Breath.
In the Engine Of The Makers area, its about the same height as the Bor's Breath area.
Farther North, near Ulduar, I'm not certain...
If you check some of the video's on YouTube, they give you a pretty good idea how high you'll need to be... be safe, and carry some Snowfall Lager so you don't plummet to your untimely demise.

01: Theory.
02: Info Sheet
03: Story for any who care.
04: Image Links
I've read about these TWO spawn spots for Vyragosa. I've read about theories that TLPD is a chance to spawn in the place of Vyragosa. I've read about other theoretical "Spawn Spots." After my experiences farming this, I believe there are only two spawn spots. The frozen lake and Brunn. Why I believe this is explained towards the last section of the story.
Time-Lost Proto-Drake Camping Info Sheet:
Server: Undermine
Kill Time: August 18th, 5:42am (Didn't despawn 'till 6:20 hahaha awesome.)
2009.08.13 . 17:30 . Vyragosa Corpse Spotted
Info: On the frozen river just east of the small frozen waterfall at 33, 65.
2009.08.14 . 05:21 . Vyragosa Killed (bor's breath, frozen lake 29, 65)
Info: This was creepy as hell. I was just over the middle of the lake about 50 yards up in the air. I heard a roar, huge wings flapping. I looked at the screen and was looking around and couldn't figure out what the hell, then it appeared right above me. I don't know if my hard drive was taking it's time loading the graphics into the video card or what, but jesus it was cool.
2009.08.15 . 06:43 . Vyragosa Killed (brunnhildar village 48, 68)
Info: Flew down the mountain at 50, 71 into the middle of Brunn. Tapped it and downed it as it was flying into the Foot Steppes to the north.
2009.08.15 . 09:58 . server goes down for reset
2009.08.16 . 10:06 . Vyragosa Killed (bor's breath, Frozen Lake 29, 65 -- brunnhildar village 48, 68
Info: Same as on 5:21, complete with hearing the roar and flapping before it appeared over my camp spot. This time it was pointed towards the river and headed east.
2009.08.17 . 06:55 . Vyragosa Killed (brunnhildar village 48, 68)
Info: Same exact scenerio as on 8.15.
2009.08.18 . 05:42 . Time-Lost Proto-Drake Killed (brunnhildar village 50, 70)
Info: Same exact scenerio as on 8.15, but I was sitting on the edge of the hill where Vyragosa had come down from and it spawned no more than a dozen yards above me, well within visual range so I'm assuming that's the exact spawn spot there. Not on top as people had speculated.
Story:
First, I would like to mention how I first learned about the Time-Lost Proto-Drake (TLPD, as we know it.) Back in a previous guild I had a 4 hour nax run with a bunch of first timers and a couple of us who had done it and only did 3 bosses, wiping a few times before quitting against the four horsemen. I wasn't happy. When I'm stressed out, from work or whatever, I will get on my pally and run an ore mining loop I worked out over time that takes me over Valkyrion. Having done the Brunnhildar dailies I was well aware of all the mobs in that particular area. I don't mess around with mobs when I'm farming to calm down, so any time there are ores impossible to get to I just pass them. And if something aggros on me before I dismount trying to get within range of one I just fly away.
So I was flying over Valkryon doing the basin/icecrown/peaks path for titanium and was flying over the blighted pool and through town. I fly out of the gate into frozen lake because I see titanium around that lake all the time. Just passing through the gate a drake aggros on me and I think, seriously? I wasn't near those bastards and keep clicking off of it and kept flying. Was really @#$%ed still about naxx, and ket going down the river. It followed me a good distance before going away. Then some drama picked up again from someone who asked how we were full clearing naxx10 weeks before and we couldn't even.. blah blah...
Next morning I was on vent telling an officer who couldn't make the raid how it went and venting about it, mentioned the farming including the bit about the drake chasing me and was starting to talk about the convo in whispers and he said wait wait WAIT. Back up. Tell me about this drake.
So I said "it was just one of those ^&*!ers on the ground and I have no idea how it aggrod on me that far away and chased me for as long as it did but I don't care" and tried to go on with my story. He stopped me again and said maybe it wasn't one of those and told me about the TLPD. I looked it up, and realized instantly after looking at it, that in retrospect it surely was a rare. Part of me inside opened up pretty wide and was yelling for a long time.
I closed it thismorning.
That day I started studying the spawn theories and so on, which sucked back then. I camped it a lot, spending more and more time each day over a few days flying around and sitting in spots, etc. It culminated in me sitting in a supposed hot spot, hoping my addon would find it. The point where I realized I was taking it too far was when I had my speakers up all the way and was sleeping on the floor next to the sub so I would be sure to wake up if anything was found.
I backed off and only as much as mined the path I mined before, did some runs on the paths it was reported to take from more and more sources as time passed, and never camped again.
Months passed, still reading about TLPD, still trying to get an idea for it. Sometime towards the end of the summer before wrath came out I started multiboxing. I had 2 toons and my girlfriend only had one. But she quit playing some months before this whim started, so I had transferred her toon and a toon I built on it over to my own account (QQ about account sharing, we've lived together for years. Eat it.)
Happened to be flying through Storm Peaks last Thursday doing crusade dailies and saw Vyragosa's corpse laying on the ground (5:30pm as marked) and that's when I decided it was time for the planned last stand against TLPD.
Ok, as mentioned, I have two toons. A geared lock and a not-so geared pally .healer.) I had seen that without question Brunn and the Ice Lake were two of the hottest spots by far. I parked my mains in those two spots. I used my girlfriend's 80 to patrol areas I wasn't sitting in, otherwise I would sit her in various spots (27,50 .. 27,39 .. The hill at 35,44 .. posts at 41,39 and 45,36 .. around engine at 43,54 and 39,53 .. also parked on the waterfall at 37,75) I also used my roommate's Ret pally while he was asleep and at work. He would watch my toons and keep them from going idle while I slept for 2-3 hours a day. (5 in the middle of the day Monday, way more than I meant to but nothing spawned so it didn't matter.)
I know for sure (was tired Thursday when I started) the 100% coverage of the frozen lake started at 12:05am friday morning. am, not noon, for those of you who have trouble with that...hehe.. I parked my warlock at the Frozen Lake, directly over the mark that looks like the center where you can see evenly in all 3 directions. (coordinates above.) I parked the pally at Brunn, directly over the center of the put about 50 yards up. Was high enough at the frozen lake to see straight in line over the hills heading to the south.
After two kills in Brunn where I saw it coming off that mountain I actually parked on the edge of the mountain on an outcropping of rock JUST a yard inside the blue chick morph range (to have fun watching the bears.) (....Fun being as much fun as you can have sitting staring at the came crap when you're looking at the screen.)
When the TLPD spawned it was no more than 12 or 16 yards above me, well within sight range as I believe I mentioned in the kill notes.

Didn't hear the roar like I did a few times when Vyragosa spawned originally.
Now, this whole time I was watching the /who storm peaks list to see who the regulars were. I started conversations and shared information with several of them. I also used my roommate's ret pally account to log onto the laptop and took his lvl 59DK to K3 to keep an eye on General and do the same observing of /who storm peaks and also talked with campers / seekers there.
Nobody saw any rares spawn other than my Vyragosa kills. There were a couple Dirkee kills, but I don't believe (As many don't) that he is related at all to TLPD beyond being rare. This was from information from at least 12 people on each side of Horde and Alliance. So I believe without much of a question that I had 100% of the kills starting Friday morning and ending with the TLPD on Tuesday morning.
This is why after this experience of having so many square yards covered, so many people in communication with and the fact I only ever saw anything spawn in those two locations, I believe those are the only two spots Vyragosa spawns. And having said that, I seriously doubt claims of him spawning over the waterfall or any of the other places that he actually has been recorded on videos patroling through, are actual spawn spots. Unless of course, you count him coming into view as a "spawn." And that would fully, without any questions, explain why the path that goes through Brunnhildar is by itself, and all the other paths intersect at the frozen lake. Because that's his second spawn spot.

THIS ARE TO 100% the SPAWNPOINTS FROM THE DRAGONS! FROM VYRAGOSA AND TLPD!
31/70
35/76
51/71
52/34
mostly he comes flying from 52/34 and 35/76
and mostly kills are then by Boars Atem on the crossroads!
Are you Multibox :D then you will camping exact at the Spawnpoints Coords and you will see it´s right and true what i say!
He spawns out auf the Mountain! Look at my Videolink. This is the Moment of a spawn.
When he spawns you hear the sound of her flying (wing-beat)
Thanks and good Luck

Just an add/update form the Azjol-Nerub server.
Have been camping Skoll at loc 46,65 for about 4 days now and log on now and then to see if he's up. Last night I loged in and just as I got control NPC Scan was going crazy. Thought for sure it was Skoll so dismounted and hit the auto target. To my suprise, it wasn't Skoll but was the Time-Lost Proto Drake. As for how high he was, I couldnt' shoot him from the ground. Mounted back up and made him agro, flew straight down from where he was in the sky and landed at loc 46.3, 62.2 and killed him there. Time was aprox 9:05pm CST, and 8:05 servertime.

So after 17 days of camping, it FINALLY spawned directly at Valkyrion.
It spawned directly at 27, 57 over Valkyrion. I missed tagging it 17 days ago at the same location, so Ive been camping that same spot since.
Tonight at 6:06 PM Feathermoon Realm Time, it spawned at those exact same coordinates. I was using the targetting macro that is listed previously. As soon as I had it targetted and in range, I dismounted, hit arcane barrage for the tag, then popped Ice Block. Once I was on the ground I popped out of the iceblock and began Ice Lancing it till it was on the ground.
The entire time I was killing it I was ecstatic. Good luck to everyone who is trying for it! You will get it if you put enough time into it.

Ok, you people will probably hate me, but I farmed and killed Time-Lost in under 5 hours total. I used some of the logic discussed here and formed my own plan based off of what I observed. The short of it is that I used the flight path here:
http://www.wowhead.com/?maps=67:466411475427488444489469480497461524441549427568406598392615371646369671369714
I downloaded Silverdragon from curse. I highly recommend using it - as it will make your screen flash red when a rare is in the area and give you a rush of excitement!
Now to the good part. Here are my notes to myself:
The ridge between Temple of Storms and Brunnhhildar Village has mobs that are named Storm Tracker, etc. What are they tracking! Well, I am not sure what the quest/story line says, but there is a field with Wyrms flying over top that grab Mammoths and I believe that is what they are tracking. Since they are dragonkin, it makes since that the Lost-Time Drake has some connection. Going off of other's notes I was farming herbs in Bor's Breath area and flying across that ridge, across the field, and back. Time-Lost appeared just over that ridge near the big circle thing on the ground (40.7/60.5) at 5:15AM server time September 1, 2009. Note that the server was shutting down for maintenance at 6AM (not sure if that has an effect). Some say that the rare spawns often after server maintenance as well... Check into it!
lol I can't wait to log on after the maintenance today and see how many people are in that area. Save one for my son, I need to farm him up an rare epic mount too!

After some empty handed Timed CoS runs i decided to pursue another flying mount.
Time-Lost Proto Drake then became my obsession. I spoke with a guild mate who pointed me in the right direction and I read most everything i could find on said drake. I do believe TLPD is a rare spawn of Vyragosa, although i don't think this has officially been confirmed by Blizz. In my experience Vyra's spawn rate is as stated on this string - at least 6 hours between spawns.
Here is my adventure -
I decided to camp above the frozen river north of frost hold - 3 reasons - some decent mining, skoll also spawns in this area, and maps on this string indicate three of TLPD's flight paths overlap in this area.
Aug 6th 2009 - Midnight - Vyragosa was killed by me heading East along the river.
Aug 7th 2009 - 2:50 PM - Vyragosa killed by me heading West along the river.
Aug 8th 2009 - 8:50 AM - Vyragosa killed by me same location as Aug 6th.
Aug 9th 2009 - 6:38 AM - Vyragosa killed by me heading towards the river from frosthold
Aug 9th 2009 - 9:52 PM - Vyragosa killed by my on the frozen lake coming from the frozen river
Aug 11th 2009 - 10:00 PM - Vyragosa killed by my same location as Aug 9th but flying opposite direction
Aug 12th 2009 - 2:57 PM - Vyragosa killed by me same FP as Aug 9th
Aug 14th 2009 - 7:00 AM - Same as 12th
Aug 15th 2009 - 3:57 PM - Vyragosa killed by me Snowdrift Planes
Aug 16th 2009 - 2:58 PM - Vyragosa killed by me above the frozen lake north of frosthold
Aug 17th 2009 - While camping Vyragosa i get word that a woman who left our guild one day prior killed Time Lost Proto Drake without knowing what it was or what it dropped. The drake was heading south over Valkyrion - If she had overlooked this drake it would have flown directly into my camp site. Finally got annoyed a decided to do something more productive with my time and made an alt shammy.
Time passes with the occasionally flight around Storm Peaks when i have minutes to spare while waiting for groups to form for heroics.
Aug 31st 2009 - 11:29 PM - While flying "the engine" waiting for a H ToC group to finalize itself i found myself mining - rare finder still running, but i lost interest in spamming the macro on the 17th - I see an orangish drake flying with the blue drakes in the north east region of this area. The drake is flying along the northern wall heading west. My heart beats fast. Rare finder goes bananas. I fly into it TLPD to get aggro and slowly move to the ground - Throw some heals on myself and drop all the dps i've got.
She is now mine!

I posted a couple weeks ago about my misfortune of missing the TLPD while I was out picking my girlfriend up from work.
Well last week things got desperate and I started camping BOTH major hot spots (engine/frozen lake) with 2 laptops.
Last Wednesday, I was busy getting ready for work and NPCScan went off and I didn't hear it. I came in to TLPD dead AGAIN.
This makes it twice in 5 weeks that I have seen TLPD and also let it slip between my fingers.
Today I'm slightly over 6 weeks camping; at about 16 hours a day online. Well tonight was different....
I was busy with work, and NPCScan went off. I thought, as always 'It's just Vyragosa' -- but when I tabbed back into WOW, there he was, flying down the mountain in front of my camp! I quickly raced at him and drew aggro (I'm a Prot Warrior, so he took damage attacking me) and the tag was mine... I wanted to be sure I had him, so I used a Heroic Throw from 3 inches away, and fell to the cliff below me... I was so crazy with trying to assure I had him that I forgot to drink my snowfall lager... but I lived. I was down to 1/4 health, and immediately hit Enraged Regeneration when it proc'd for me. I sat in my chair screaming, and beating the TLPD within an inch of his life.
Ahh sweeeet victory! What a sweet mount.
For anyone interested, I started recording my sightings after a week or two of camping. Here is my log. These are all confirmed kills/sightings, with the last sighting being my final entry :) MY KILL. The delta is the time difference since the last entry/sighting. All times are in EST. I was camped at 29,66 at the Frozen Lake. My 2nd PC was at 39.6,60 at the Engine of the Maker.

*sigh* I have to say that some people when it comes to hunting this wonderful mount, can be nothing more then cruel and very annoying people. I've had in the last 3 weeks that I've been hunting this dragon, everything under the sun thrown at me.
I've had insults, people apparently reporting me for camping and being being general jerks. Though I've come across Vrya plenty of times I have yet to see the TLPD. Even with all the advice from the people here in the posts I'm hard pressed to find a place that being camped by 3 or 4 going after the same thing.
Now I'm under a large confusion here, despite the posts that I've read about Vrya and the TLPD not sharing timers, but paths and spawn points. Everyone that I've talked to on my server Dragonblight and outside of it tell me that he spawns after 16 hours. Can some one tell me what the spawn times are? And even reassure me that Vrya and TLPD do not share a timer?

Short of a screenshot showing TLPD and Vyra together we will never know 100% if they don't share a timer.
Times of spawn and shared spawn are all speculation. Short of a a developer coming out and spilling all the beans we'll never be 100%.
We do know some things:
Vyra and TLPD share paths:
1) Does this mean TLPD is to Vyra as Trusilver to Tin?
2) Does this mean some developer was just lazy, and didn't want to plot out new paths?
3) Was this intentional to get people to find the TLPD by accidentally discovering it looking for Vyra?
4) Multiple of the above?
The time spawn:
1) X% every hour?
2) Set spawn timer from last death/spawn?
3) Set exact time?
4) one of the above, by Y% chance of spawning instead of Vyra?
Too many variables to ever be 100%. Even if you made a bot, preferably four, to scout out each of the four paths there is always a chance of the RNG laughing at you.
Each person will believe their own version.

I can confirm that Vyragosa spawns directly on the hill on the Frosthold mountain facing the Bor's Breath lake, and also directly above Val'kyrion. This may or may not mean that the Time-Lost Proto Drake does as well.

Was Farming him from 11 Am ( Uk time) till roughly 5pm Uk time
at about 12 a draenei shaman logged in and was staying there so i thought id have some competition for this thing
sure enough, at 5pm when i left for 2 hours to do other things ( like play on gears 2 =P ) The time lost spawned at Bor's breath and the shaman got him
Never been so gutted in my life
Seems to me though that he has spawned on the hour the past few times ive Saw him
So gonna leave Pc on overnight with npcscan and see if anything comes up, Realm is Silvermoon EU and im Alliance, Human paladin called Turaylon

Vyragosa killed at
10:50 AM
on The Maelstrom EU.
She spawned right in front of me at the frozen lake, coords:
29.00, 67.00
.
Just before this, I found a death knight flying on his TLPD mount over a TLPD corpse.
This wasn't more than 5 minutes from when I killed Vyragosa
. Not sure what to believe regarding the freaking spawn timers.
I'm throwing 2 screenshots up of the Vyragosa kill, didn't take any of the TLPD. The TLPD corpse was
just over Brunnhildar together with the other blue proto drakes there
.

found him at 27.55 in storm peaks at around 30 meters above the ground. time was 00:30 GMT+1. was questing around to get the quest achievement when npcscan went off and scared me out of my skin=) spent a frenzied 10 seconds locating it on my screen, pulled it off towards a cliff and downed it. general chat went off like a grenade and both "i totally hate you" whispers and "freaking grats man" whispers started rolling in. was really easy to kill. pure luck.

I killed him 3 times ang got the mount 3 times. When you didnt get the mount it wasnt your kill. Write a GM. He will see if you have that talisman that only the Drake drops. So he could believe you.

Got it today :D. Yesterday I found Scorn or Skoll whatever, Killed him and got 25g and, 20 frostweave and a cool dagger. I thought, OO this would be cool to go hunting rare spawns! So I did. I researched it a bit, read up on alot of stuff and read Ponderance's theorys etc, which helped me alot!
Yesterday I got the addon called NPCscan, which was a real help, I advise all to get it. Heres my full story:
Yesterday (the 6th of October, 5 days after my birthday), I was randomly doing quests in storm peaks, I found Skoll, killed him got some phat lewtz. Thought, wow awsome, I should do this more often. So I went around, searching rare spawn paths. After having no luck I stumble across the Time-Lost Proto Drake in Wowhead (here). I read about it and in particular I read Ponderance's article, it was a great help. About the areas to camp, I camped facing south, just south of temple of storms over the Ice lake where the harpies are located. Camped there for 4 hours yesterday, no sign.
I woke up thesmorning feeling hard-done by but compared to others, what i felt was nothing. I got up, turned the computer on, started wow, got to the camp location and muted wow so if I saw something I could only hear the alert for the NPCscan. Got up to show my brother what noise it would make if something showed up, did the test then turned my screen off. Started to get up and then the alert went off again, I thought WTF is this broken? Turned the screen back on and saw the Time-Lost Proto-Drake flying in from my right (the West, which i believe it spawned very soon before I had seen it as there were about 10 others patroling the area). I believe it spawned at about (28,63.7). I was camped at about (30.4, 62.9) in Stormpeaks. I saw the Drake flying in, got onto my carpet, flew over, slow falled and ice lanced it. After bringing it to the ground I proceeded to kill it which i did at exactly
7:40pm
Realm time at the frozen lake. If this is relevant im on a US realm, Darkspear, Horde, Geeshan.
Unfortunantaly My screenshot thing screwed itself up big time and I can't find my screenies, does any1 know why this happened?
Anyway, As I was saying, I killed him at the start of the Harpie area, he is relatively easy to get down, you can just fly into it and it will agro onto you and then you can fly to the ground. He was flying about my height on the ledge I was camping, unfortunantaly I can't get you a screenshot because it's screwed...
If you need anymore info whisper me in game, I hope my data helped you to find a more accurate measure of how and where it spawns etc. Not every1 will be as lucky as me (I got it the 1st day I started looking seriously), it may take weeks, even months to bag this baby. But all you can do is hope, hope you are as lucky as me.

Finally found my Time-Lost proto after nearly 3 months of casual farming. After reading reports on spawn locations and flight paths, I decided on the western end of Bor's Breath, near Valkyrion.
Today (10/14) at 12:28 PM I was flying towards my camp spot and NPCscan erupted. Lo and behold, there he was, flying westward towards Valkyrion about 20 yards above the ground. If this is at all similar to his normal elevation, slow fall potions and the like are not needed, I took maybe 2,000 fall damage maximum. I killed him and looted my drake.
Literally no less than 15 seconds later, 3 or 4 people were hovering over the body. I'm including this just to stress how many people are casually (or not so casually) looking out for the TLPD and how quickly you need to tag him.
(I will add screenshots of my camp spot, the TLPD flying, his death and a victory shot soon.)
Hope this helps, happy hunting! :D

Wow, after camping this Sweet rare for awhile and eventually giving up on my paladin months back. I recently started camping for him/her again off and on on my paly/druid/dk and today I was kinda tired and bout ready to head for bed, so I'm sitting in storm peaks with my Dk and I go and grab a drink and a bite to eat, come back and put on a college football game to watch, so I'm sitting on the couch and all the sudden my rare addon starts going off and I jump up and look at the screen and sure enough it was the Tlpd, OMG!. I thought for sure, it would be tagged before I got to him, took me a second to get to him and get the tag, but sure enough I got him/her as a mount now. I'm still in shock, I did /who after I killed it and there was 42 alliance on atm. Seen people swarming its corpse after ward. Got screenies if anyone wants a look. Still in shock, wow! Couldn't be happier I got it on my Dk, seems to fit her better than my paly or druid. But now the hunt continues for my paly and druid also. :D

Does anyone have any confirmed spawn points for this guy? We know he has three for sure, but has anyone ever actually seen him spawn in front of him
Also, does anyone know if he is guaranteed to spawn after server resets? Because in the past two days, we've had rolling restarts and he appeared both times. How do I know this? Via caching.

I finally got time-lost after seeing his corpse consistently once a week the past 3 weeks on random days. I camped one night and never saw him, and monday I was just doing a regular fly through storm peaks without thinking i'd see him and he was flying on the path around frosthold counter-clockwise. Killed him over frozen lake and got the mount.

This may seem like a silly question, but for melee classes I think it is important: does the TLPD behave like Vyragosa? I downed Vyragosa once and it was a pain in the ass because she doesn't get into melee range unless you are in a very specific location. I saw her again today and she killed me twice because she stayed out of melee range and kept blasting her frost attack.
Does the TLPD come into range for melee or do you have to position her like Vyragosa?

Nope time lost is the opposite fo Vyragosa. Insteed of being in range he teleport himself behind you wich makes it then easier for melees. He wont teleport back into range so dont worry ;)

if the previous comments are true (about vyragosa and time-lost proto-drake sharing a spawn timer) then i just missed them both. i had decided that i wanted that mount and gone and downloaded the addon, NPCscan. After camping for about 15 minutes, it went crazt about vyragosa. After about 15 more minutes, i went to check this website and look at some comments. some either state or imply that they share a timer. if this is true, i just missed my achievement AND my Time-Lost Proto- Drake.

peterjohansen , thats an honest mistake. Anyways, figured I post again, I previously got the tlpd on my Death knight after over a month of searching on my paladin first, I didn't get him. I actually gave up at one point and since have lvled a druid and hunter to 80 also. Now I have my hunter and I've tamed all the spirit beasts with her, such a thrill. I decided I'll hang out in storm peaks and farm herbs occasionally and camp a spot for the tlpd again. Camping Skoll for about 2-3 days before I managed to find him, I never seen Vyra or the tlpd. After taming skoll, the last of the spirit beasts I needed, got Loque'Nahak and Gondria in consecutive nights both being the first night of camping for them. I then goto my spot to camp for the elusive Time-Lost Proto Drake, the second night of search my macro goes OFF! and I can't believe my eyes again, the Tlpd is in my presence un-tagged. I quickly get aggro drop to the ground and tag him/her with a arcane shot, me and Loque proceeded to get our mount and fly away on the beauty, was so happy! Simple fight as melee or ranged as I've now gotten this Rare on 2 different characters. I can say, there really is no formula to getting him/her other than being in the zone and having some major luck go your way. My paladin still sits wondering where the tlpd is, :D. But my death knight and hunter I just consider got extremely lucky, especially my death knight, it was 3:00pm server time and the zone was loaded with 50 alliance(not to mention how ever many horde was on), couldnt tell you how many swarmed as I was taking him/her down. I've spent quite a bit of time looking for this rare, don't regret a bit of the search, makes it that much sweeter when you do find and get the tag. Also made a killing off of herbs, got my Schematic: Jeeves for my hunter. Wouldn't replace this mount for any of the other Proto's, don't get me wrong, some of them are pretty nice looking also. But there is just something about the tlpd.

Just got mine today. Very first time i was camping this drake, about 2 mounts ago, i was afk when my npcscanner found it. #$%^ed me off enough to keep trying and trying and trying.Killed vyra about 8 times. Then saw TLPD about 2 mounts AFTER my first encounter and killed it in the same exact spot. 35.1 65 (cords) 6:48am ST after camping for about 5 or 6 hours. You want advise? ok ill give you 1 tip. you have to camp for long periods of time. you probably wont get it if you camp for 30 minutes at a time. But i guess you gotta get lucky either way! happy hunting

How do you use it?

Duxy
Server:
Firetree (US)
Name:
Rëdux
Server Time:
2:30pm on October 28th
Coords:
77, 80
How you spotted it:
Was running a herbing route, spamming my target macro.
Height:
Rather high up. When I dismounted to tag it I was even with its height and if I had not Levitated down I dont believe I would have lived (Priest, 19k hp).
Direction of travel:
Heading north, coming from the frozen lake, I was headed south.
Did you kill Vyragosa prior or know of the kill prior?:
None that I know of.
Details:
For a long time after hitting 80 I was camping the T-L. After like a week of 6-7 hours camping each day I started slacking off until it was a the point where I was only spamming my macro while running herbing routes. The day I found the T-L, I had just run my counter-clockwise circle around the "Engine of the Makers" where the blue protos fly around, and decided instead of doubling back though "Bor's "Breath" where I had just come from, that I'd go up over the mountains by the "Grom'arsh Crash Site" and head west and then south around the "Temple of Storms" (I usually cross back though Bor's and north from the frozen lake for a better chance at the drake).
When I came around though the middle of Valkyrion I found him. He was heading north straight over the circle that's in the middle of the town. I tagged him while he was directly above the circle, and brought him down on the east snow pile. The drake will teleport to you if he does not reach you fast enough. (Which scared me because I thought an alliance mage had shown up, who could probably have easily killed me in my spastic state.)
He put up a lot less of a fight then I had expected against a Discipline priest, and luckily for me, no Alliance or Valkyries pulled during the fight. One thing I would like to add for other people looking for him is the fact that he's huge. I can't tell you how many times I've passed other people riding the T-L and thought that it was the mob, but even if a Tauren had ridden one past me, it would not come close to the size of the actual npc. He's roughly the same size as the blue protos found near The Engine of the Makers, (if not bigger), and his flying animation is the same.
GL, and happy hunting. :]

I witnessed a Vyragosa kill at 1:49am central, and myself killed Dirkee

one hour later.
From that point, I camped above Bor's Breath for another two hours before passing out, lol.
I feel the Dirkee kill being exactly one hour later is mere coincidence, but maybe that info will help fund some further research into rare spawn methodology. :3

Ok! Will try to give as much tips as I can.
Tips:
1. Get NPCscan.
2. Believe in luck.
3. 5:00 am
I started camping the Time lost proto drake 3 days ago, and got him today.
But guess what - I got him by chance.
You will NOT get him WAITING or CAMPING or FOLLOWING his routes. He spawns at ANY point of ANY of 4 routes. And he spawns when you are not there, believe me. If you dont believe me, you will understand that yourself in next several weeks. It is totally random whether he spawns, and when he spawns. There is bottom limit of time for Vygarosa ~6 hours, but it can go up to 1 day. Russian servers say TLPD respawn time is ~48-72 hours - apart from Vygarosa.
I was camping him at - Bor's Breath and Makers Engine area, - because they are 2 points that cover all routes. I camped total of 20-25 hours in these 3 days. And yesterday said: F..ck it! And went about my business - daily quests, tournament, heroics, raids, mining.
But there was a russian website (i know russian), one guy said - magical time is 5:00 am, not earlier, not later - 5:00 am go to Bor's Breath.
All my guildies went to sleep, and only one left. I asked him if he has time at 5:00 am to come with me to get the mount, he said its too late and went to sleep.
Anyways, at 4:50-4:55 by chance - I was going from Sholazar to Argent Tournament for dailies - my NPCscan goes off - Time lost proto drake. Right at the Bor's Fall entrance he flies - very slow in the air. I first flew to catch his aggro - in front of his face, he got aggroed, and I shot an arrow, dismounted - tried to drink Snowfall lager (i still had it on my bar) and died.
Released - found my body ~10 seconds - drank potion and mounted, he was in the middle of Bor's Breath. Now i decided to reach the higher point - in the beginning of Bors Breath, but hit him too early - dismount - death - release - find body ~ 30 seconds. I couldnt see him, first went towards Makers engine route - he wasnt there, I turned back to Frosthold route - the smallest one - to the left, and got to him at Bor's Fall again - he already made a circle. At this time I aggroed him in front of his face, then slowly, keeping the short distance - landed on Bor's Fall edge and killed him.
My heart beatrate was like ~200. In the middle of killing him another player flew over and was sadly looking at that action. I think he was camping him at Bor's Fall - I think I saw him, thats why was in too hurry. But he overslept or something. He was horde, Im alliance - I waved and cheered at him. He cheered at me as I was already mounting the drake. I made several turn around on drake - and he flew away.
I think it a lot has to do with luck. Because the earlier that day I found 4 RARE mobs for Frostbitten achievement - in Zuldrak and in Sholazar Basin, while mining. Also I got an awesome crossbow 232 lvl from TotC 25. Eventhough i rolled less than the other hunter girl, she said I would benefit from it more (it was PUG and my first TotC raid). Then immediately I get inv for OS 10 - get 2 achievements, immediately get inv for OS 25 - get a Fury of the Five Fights trinket, immediately get inv for Ony10 and get Onyxias head and necklace. After that I go mining and find Gondria - a rare pet for hunter - tame it (dual spec), find 2 more rare mobs, go to Sholazar - find 1 more rare, go to Storm peaks - get TLPD.
Notice that all of the above could be spread to a month or more. So to get TLPD you need to feel, need to be in luck streak. This might sound weird, but yes, thats the best way to get him.
He is RANDOM program roll. Read posts that say - "I was camping, looking, seeking for him for 2 months now..., 3 months, still didnt get him.. i doubt he exists..." and think. Think deep - he is RANDOM program. He can be at ANY point at ANY time for only 15 minutes.... its like to roll 1000 from 0-1000...
Go about your business, just try to be lucky. And when you feel it - go there but dont camp - just pass the routes twice and fly away. Go mining to Sholazar - Cobalt sells good. Go get herbs in Storm Peaks - plenty. Never camp!
What else... well... GOOD LUCK!
Place: Bor's Fall (Frosthold route)
Time: 5:00 am.
Time spent camping total: ~20 hours
Time spent before catch: 0 hours 0 minutes

Wow... The sad part. I was on my level 78 Troll Shaman and he flew by. I actually targeted him and my paladin was nearby,
Frantic i hopped onto my paladin. and never found him.
I dont know if he despawned, but no one said anything about it in General chat so i'm assuming he did. My advice to everyone,
If you see him, no matter if you have epic flying or no flying, Take him down! dont let this happen to you!
Oh, Edit:
I found him in Sifreldar Village

I compiled a list of things.. from what i've seen. Kind of long, heh. I hope this helps!
What we DO know:
There is a Time-Lost Proto-Drake, and he does drop a mount. He also shares a timer with Vyragosa.
--> They share the same pat areas and possibly spawn points.
He is Vyragosa's rare spawn. When she is down, a number is rolled, and the odds of the TLPD Spawning in Vyragosa's place is about 4%.
--> The timer is believed to be around 6-18 hours.
Time lost and Vyragosa are dragonkin, and can be tracked by hunters. Also, Dirkee has nothing to do with their spawns.
He fights in melee range, no casts like Vyragosa. Hits for around 400 damage depending on your gear and armor.
--> He has 18,900 health.
What we do NOT know:
The exact spawn timer. (And why Dirkee is associated with two flying dragons)
If server resets spawn Vyragosa or the TLPD, Or if their timer is on an exact schedule.
The "Roll" that has the 4% TLPD Vyragosa switch, and if we can track it.
If there actually is a slim chance of TLPD's roll winning after 5-60 minutes of Vyra's death.
Sightings:
Bor's Breath and Valkyrion. The two spawn points where he has been seen the most.
Engine of the makers, and the field with the blue proto-drakes near Brunnhildar.
Depending on where he is determines his altitude. Reports state he's been ground level, 20-40 yards and even 60 yards. (But we're not 100% on that). Also, we're told he flies high over Valkyrion.
Desirable addons:
_NPCScan: Tracks rarespawns, Screen pulses red, sound goes off. Not illegal to have.
Rare Spawn Overlay: Map mod, Shows pat paths of all Northrend and Outlands rarespawns with their picture.
So is it really luck? Or timing?:
I believe it's not luck that helps you find this mount, but knowing where to be when he does show up. He will find you eventully. Trust me. When you least expect it. I was on my shaman and he came out of nowhere. I switched to my paladin and he was gone. This morning at 9:49AM Server time, I bagged Vyragosa. She spawned just under 24 hours of the last recorded kill on my server. Maybe it is luck, but it could be just knowing where to find your prey.
Places of great note:
Bor's Breath: Seems to have 90% of the kills. Plus it's where two of his pat areas connect. Also where a very alive untagged Vyragosa flew into me.
Engine of the makers, and the blue drake field
When the TLPD flew above me, I was in Sifreldar. Take note,
He can be targeted from far away.
As for one hit wonders...
Dont camp him. It really is aggrivating to spend 12+ Hours flying around and have the person that has the mount kill him, and tell you "lol i promised myself i'd stop after 5". My drake was taken from me by the person on my server that has it, and thinks it's fun to farm it. Just take your free drake and leave us be :).
Final advice:
Keep track of when Vyra and TLPD have been killed.
If you want the drake bad enough, you WILL find him. Or.. He'll find you.
He really does appear when you least expect it. And while your heart's in your throat and your brain draws a blank, I offer you two words.
Get him.
Happy hunting all! Wishing you (And myself!) the best of luck! If i find any new information i'll update this. And + me if it helps you at all. :)
P.S, Included some screenshots.
First is this morning when I killed Vyra, Bor's breath
Coords: 33.8, 66.1

This is when I was on my shaman, and the TLPD flew by. The mod I have on is NPCScan, and for those of you that dont believe he's real, Here's your proof.

EDIT:::
I've found and killed Vyra once again. Twice in one day, first time was 9:49am server, second was 7:30pm server. If this helps at all. She spawned once again by Bor's Breath, was flying to Valkyrion when i stopped her... Again.
Coords: 28.5, 65.1

Redux again~
TIME-LOST WILL DESPAWN!
I'm not 100% sure if he actually despawned, or if he went into a phased zone, but it did dissapear right before my eyes in "Bor's Breath".
I already have my Time lost mount, and was frantically trying to tell a guildie I found him when he vanished in front of me. I was nearly right on top of him so he didn't go out of range and I'm pretty sure there's no phasing in Bor's Breath. Even if there was, from what people say so far the T-L is visable to all phases.
Of course I dont have actual proof like video or anything like that. I had just spotted him and had started typing when it happened.

Finally, finally, finally! Months of searching... hours upon hours of "Time Lost" ;D
Finally got him! Funny thing was, I was waiting around for Skoll (another rare spawn) instead! Totally caught me off guard. _NPCScan picked up on him right away. Hopped on my mount and spun around to find him.
Took him down on The Foot Steppes, just above Brunnhildar Village.
Coordinates were (47, 64) The Storm Peaks.
Time was 12:49 am Khadgar sever time...
I had killed Vyragosa at 3:56 pm server time on Bor's Breath.
Saw no other rare spawns between then.
No sign of Skoll yet...
lol
He didn't use his stunning attack on me. Though he did Time Shift twice (teleport behind me).
Drops:
*
*Satchel had: 20g, 50s, 10c; Frostweave Cloth x 20; Crystalized Life x 4
His corpse stuck around for a while - 30 minutes. Not complaining though... It took long enough to find him. I enjoyed seeing him for at least a little bit. (In addition to when I was flipping out and spamming attacks to take him down.)
I was a bit upset today and this totally turned things around for me. :) I'm so glad I finally found him and am working my way towards ending my rare spawn camping. xP

Got mine a few months ago on Shu'halo, at Bor's Breath right at the spot where the frozen waterfall is, from what ive seen it seems to be the most frequent location where people find him.

5th December, i saw this mob while waiting for an ulduar 10 group. I immediately flew towards the ledge and asked the Raidleader for assist so i could mark TLPD and follow it. It took me roughly 5 seconds to see him fade from target, and about 10 more to fly the other direction. By the time i had found him and got to a surface i could land on, a druid had pulled him with moonfire and i missed TLPD. Terrible Luck ?

Got him tonight using the
NPC add-on
and the
AFK add-on
. Camped the spot right before the waterfall where the harpies are in Bor's Breath right about 30,65. Was about to head off for the night when the alert popped up. spun around on my mount didn't see anything and then looked up and saw him about 30 yards above me on the hill. flew up and argo'd him and took him down easy. I took him down in a clump of trees so the screenshot of the kill isnt good so I am attaching the shot of me flying over Northrend.

I have been on the hunt for this guy for over 72 hours straight, as I am typing this I am located right above the frozen waterfall closest to Valkyrion in Bor's Breath.
So far I have only been able to down Vyragosa, 4 times might I add. Every time I killed her at Bor's Breath, I do believe she in fact spawns right over top of it. I did remember the times of the kills...they are:
11:15 am on 12/23/2009
9:27 am on 12/24/2009
7:45 pm on 12/24/2009
1:20 pm on 12/25/2009
Now, judging by the times, I believe that Vyragosa's spawn time is around 6-24 hours. I have not seen or heard of TLPD being killed during this time either, I have done random searches around the spawn points at various times after the Vyragosa kills with no luck. From this I believe that Vyragosa and TLPD do in fact share spawn times, and the chance of TLPD spawning is a low percentage compared to Vyragosa. I say this because, in the over 72 hours I have been searching he has NOT spawned. His spawn time would have to be greater than 3 days for this to work with both having different spawn times. Judging by the reports from other people, seeing him spawn twice in less than 48 hours and never seeing Vyragosa at all, I believe sharing spawn times is true.
Hopefully I will have my chance to down TLPD soon. By the way, i do leave WoW up throughout the night just in case he come's by. I use NPCScan and turn my speakers up very loudly so that it will wake me (sad I know). I keep myself from going afk by taping my arrow key down to make me spin in circles throughout the night (clever I think).
Hope this information helps someone and Happy Hunting!

I happened to find the Time-Lost today while herb farming oh my druid going a route I hadn't heard about before. He was flying
Counter Clockwise
over K-3 and toward Garm about 50-60 yards in the air.
I relogged onto my Hunter alt who doesn't have a cool mount yet and spent about 3-4 minutes looking for him via my tracking. I'm not exactly sure what route he took but I found him at the same spot I originally saw him in when I found him again. (I almost gave up since I figured someone nailed him already.) I tagged and killed him at around 45,82 by just flying in front of him and going toward the mountain near by. He likes coming into melee so if you're a class with no way to slow yourself he isn't hard to control, and with him up pretty high on this route it was the best way to go about it.
I did a little reading on this guy a long time ago when I saw someone else with it and got curious on the hype over it, so I thought I'd add this odd spot. Good luck to those that are hunting it down, I just got lucky. ;)

I have spent a lot of time in Storm Peaks on various toons, particularly herbing/mining and hunting around the Engine of the Makers, and I never once saw this mob, or his corpse, or even heard anyone in chat sighting him, and only once saw anyone else on the mount.
I killed him today around 7.45am server time (Nagrand US). I wasn't looking for him in particular, but was just flying on my own mount from K3 to the Tourney rather than take the gryphon, following the frozen river. Around 36, 74, about halfway between the frozen waterfall and the sharp bend in the river, I stopped to chat to a friend and saw the drake fly below me quite low and seemingly pretty slow. I aggroed him in midair, and bubbled to the ground.
The few times that I've seen Vyragosa or her corpse, it's been on this same stretch of the frozen river.

Got this guy today on the Sargeras PvP - US server.
Was flying through Storm Peaks on my way to get snowbalds for the Argent Tournament daily and bumped into him flying over the lake towards Val'kyrion from Bor's Breath.
He flies a little to high off the ground for melee to taunt or anything, so I flew into him and he aggroed, then followed me down to the ground where I nuked him.
Edit: It was at 2:37pm CST

Sorry to spoil it, I would get a bit exited about this piece of info, if it wasn't because I just skinned vyragosa before checking this page and seeing your post and it was 12:42am on my server and I'm pretty sure that the body can't stay there for half an hour and even if it could someone else would have skinned it.
For what is worth, it was 2:12am local time, though I don't really think it matters

I always fly through Bor's Breath on my way to turn in my Snobolds Argent Tourney daily, but today... the one day I go around the other way. I find the TLPD dead not ten minutes later... just outside Bor's Breath. If only I had just continued camping... OY!

You can delete your cache to reset _npcscan. Details are on the page you downloaded it from, but essentially you need to exit the game, delete the cache folder in your World of Warcraft application folder, restart the game.

I have killed vyragosa twice myself and have waited around until her corpse despawned which was exactly 30 minutes after i had killed her each time. I have also seen her killed a few times with the same despawn time each and once with the time lost as well... all 30 minute corpse despawn times.

Argent Dawn realm
Exactly 12 hours after the realm resets, the Time-Lost Pro Drake spawned.
And Gondria, the tiger-skinned spirit beast.
Best of luck to the rest of you TLPD hunters out there.
I've been keeping track of my Vyra/TLPD kills, and it seems to be on a continuous rotating schedule... I'm probably wrong, but before the reset the spawn times seemed to be on a 4-5 day rotation on my realm.

Got mine today at 38.50, 60.80, just south of the Engine of the Makers. Very sweet mount. I also had about 4-5 people show up less than a minute after taking him down. He was flying about 40-50 yards up, so I popped him once in midair and used my parachute to land safely. This is not a kill you wanna risk losing to someone better prepared, so keep that in mind when you're flying around Storm Peaks. Time of kill was about 1:20 pm, and I caught him right when I was coming out of a random heroic, so it was pretty much pure luck on my part. Good luck on yours!

Here is a tip for mac users trying to find this one create a applescript to keep you from logging out this totally makes camping a passive thing and all you need do is listen for npc scan to go off here is what i use copy and paste into script editor it will make character jump every 3 min for 12 hours
repeat 240 times
tell application "System Events"
tell application "World of Warcraft" to activate
key code 49
end tell
delay 180
end repeat

Got mine today. Anetheron-US 6:15PM Server Time.
After reading on here I decided the best place to camp was right outside Bor's Breath. I had been camping for about a week seeing Vyragosa twice during this time, both times right outside Bor's Breath. TLPD spawned right bellow Bor's Breath heading away from Valkyrion toward K3 quite low above the ice. Good luck everyone else going for this mount, it's a pain in the ass but worth it :)
For those wondering about getting aggro on him. You could hit him from his initial height then slow fall or bubble to the ground. I just chose to fly right in front of him, getting aggro, then flying to the ground. He followed me half way down then ported to the ground (think mage blink). 18K health & does little damage.

So the Server went down unexpectedly due to emergency maintenence..... around 4 am cst and wouldnt be back up till 9 am cst... i told myself im going to stay up and see if it spawns right after server up......
8:33 Server up.
8:35 Vyragosa was slain.
I cried and i set about 8 alarms to wake up me at 2:20 pm ( basically 6 hours later )
I logged in and started to fly around.. and my NPCscan went off.. it was Skoll the stupid lightning dog, i destroyed him in a fit of rage because i thought it was the TLPD...
I flew from Brunhilldar village to engine of makers.. down thru bors fall back up to bors breath.. over valkyrion.. around temple of makers.. back south clockwise around engine of makers.. and i was like WTF i hate this game.. on my way back to Bor breath
BAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM * NPCscan * TIME-LOST PROTO DRAKE at bors breath
IT WASENT DEAD! i flew as fast as my 280% mount could go and i pyro rocketed him from far away.. i was so full of anxiety and worry i forgot to use my parachute cloak which i had been planning to use JUST for that situation for DAYS. I got to 1% health popped a potion, hit evasion and killed the infamous drake. It wasent long before a swarm of horde/ alliance got there as well and it was.. amazing... i finally got it.. don't give up people it can happen.
Goodluck everyone

Question!
Is his attack melee or range? I killed vyre last night, and she stayed like 20 yards above me all the time.. and I am a rogue, couldn't even touch her. Had a mage help me though. So does this guy hit close or far range?
评论来自

When you engage he will port down to you at melee range. You can make vyra come to you by kiting away from her, she moves forward and down.

Stigmata
It's always possible that the mob was not killed mere minutes after it spawned. A dead vyragosa at 1:50 could mean it was kill at 1:30, but left alive from spawn till death for 30 minutes. Always a possibility, so seeing it that late doesn't simply mean it doesn't spawn on the hour.

Killed the Time-Lost Proto-Drake on my shaman after my fifth day of consistent farming. Although, I've always kept an eye out for it since the day I heard about it months and months ago. =)
Here are my kill times:
2/17/10 Vyragosa 8:15 PM
2/18/10 Vyragosa 12:36 PM
2/19/10 Vyragosa 10:57 AM
2/20/10 Vyragosa 9:15 AM
2/21/10 Time-Lost Proto-Drake 6:17 PM
I thought it was interesting that on the day I found the TLPD I hadn't seen Vyragosa all day. Sat at 37.71 Bor's Breath and randomly would fly the four spawn paths.
Addons used: _npcscan and npcscan overlay.
This was only my second time seeing the TLPD. The first time was a corpse on 2/2/10 probably killed around 8:11 AM. Good luck to all farming!

Killed him today at about 6:20pm server time on Lightning's Blade. I was AFK-camping him around 29, 65 (the lake just SE of Valkyrion) and was coloring with my daughter when the NPC scan went off. I figured it was just Vyragosa, but I dashed in anyway. I saw him heading toward Valkyrion, and flew after him. Flew past him to get him to attack me, got closer to the ground and shot him (I'm a hunter). I was shaking the whole time just SURE that someone would come along and kill me. No one did. I killed him, looted him, and got my 50 mount achievement as well. I'm SUPER excited, but no one was on in my guild to brag to! Oh well.
To all those looking for him, good luck (and get NPC scan and NPC overlay. They are your friends).

some pointers for you
1 minimum of 6 hours between spawns maximum of 12
2 there is a 1 in 16 chance of time lost spawning instead of vyragosa
3 camp at bor's breath on the lake or engine of the makers (preferably the one it wasn't at last)
4 patrol the 4 flight paths at least twice a hour
5 vyragosa can be skinned and time lost cannot be skinned
6 if you can use prowl while camping to avoid others
7 have some serious luck on your side

Here's a tip. Don't kill Vyra. Of course you can't guarantee someone else wont kill her but it's worth a try. GMs have confirmed that TLPD and Vyra are linked and that there is NO fixed timer but that it is between two values. A few GMs have also let it slip that there is a way to trigger TLPD to spawn.
My guess is that the trigger is letting Vyra do her round and despawn. If you kill her it will obviously reset the timer. If you leave her, she will despawn at a certain point and trigger the TLPD instead.
Ofc I could be wrong but it's worth a guess. :/

_NPCscan / silverdragon went off while inside Forlorn Mines. I ran out as fast as I could. Flew around clockwise(the opposite direction of the dragon's flight) around the flight path around Brunnhildar Village. Found it. Took a while to grab aggro but now I have my own proto-drake mount.
It was around 3:30 am server time on Dalvengyr.

He was a lil too high off the ground for you to pull aggro and Dismount but i was lucky because I was with a friend right next to the spawn point when i died. ( I noticed that 12hrs. ago Vryagosa went down around the same time at around the same spot. I thought about this and i nearly had a heart attack when NPCScan went off.) I wish u fellow Time-Lost Proto-Drake hunters luck!

First i just wana say that Dirkee is NOT a dragon as some peoples seems to think it is. Its a robot gnome.
Vyragosa and Time-lost shares patroll routes and the most common places where they have been sigthed or got killd is at either Bor's breath and at Engine of the Makers.
I talked to a GM who said that this is a extremely very very very very rare mob.
I asked him if time-lost has any special spawn places but he said that it dont have any special places it can spawn anytime and anywhere in stormpeaks.
I have killd Vyragosa 12 times and i have found Time-lost dead 1 time so its a very annoying rare mob if u ask me -_-

ive been on the search now for this TLPD for a few days now.. no sight yet but LOTS of vyragosa. I believe they have to be on some kind of a time spawner because today was the second day i saw vyragosa spawn and kill at 210pm server time (Spinebreaker) same location by bors breath. Whats weird is i only seen her once a day which is either because ppl have killed n skinned be4 i could c or only she only pops up once a day... Hope i found him soon =(

If _NPCScan finds a rare mob, you can /tar it and with the new patch you can put a raid icon on it to make it easier to find.

Based on the evidence, regardless of the nay-sayers, it seems that the TLPD spawns at most once per 4/5 day rotation. If we assume it replaces Vyragosa on her spawn schedule which appears to be comfortably around a 22hr circular rotation, I predict the next TLPD spawn will be on April 2nd sometime between 3am-7am.

I've hunted this beastie twice now, so I know a mite about catchin' him.
The drake is a rare spawn of Vyragosa; that much can be inferred from the fact they share spawn points, patrol routes, and that they've never been seen together. Although the odds of it happening would be phenomenally low, if it were possible I bet it would have happened at least once in a year and a half.
Vyragosa has a 6-24 hour respawn timer, and in that window, there is a possibility of the drake spawning in her stead. I don't know the exact ratio, but I would estimate it to be about 1:8, or a 12.5% chance of the drake spawning (or a 3.125% chance at a given spawn point). There is, however, no guarantee the Drake will spawn after X Vyragosa spawns. There's also no guarantee that just because the Drake spawned yesterday he won't spawn again today. It's random chance.
Best thing to do, if you're hunting this rare monster, is to get an NPC alerting addon (NPCscan/SilverDragon) and sit above the frozen lake at Bor's Breath. Three of his patrol routes pass by there and two are not far from that location, so it's a wise place to wait. Stay logged in and just wait it out. Do not do anything else and, if you see other people around, stay alert. I once missed this guy because I was dozing off at my keyboard, and a second time because I went to go get some food.
Remember, patience is a virtue.

Yeah he spawned for me 3 times, first was 16 hours after last spawn, then 18, then 24
Fortunatly for me a got the second one as everyone else had given up *dodges flaming balls of toilet paper* i was helping my friend get it the 3rd time.
So basically keep camping even if it spawns once or even twice in a row. And if some Alliance level 78 noob gets it while leveling (happened to me) make sure you gank him for about 2 hours to make him regret getting it :)

Got him on Thursday April 1st (no this is not an April Fools joke), at about 6:40 PM server time (Darkspear), my Silver Dragon sounded off while i was in the valley just west of Frosthold, while I was herbing. This is consistent with the orange projected flight path shown on wowwiki.
Silver Dragon for the win. Even if you aren't truly hunting this Elite (I was not), simply installing an NPC scanner such as Silver Dragon greatly enhances your chance of finding it randomly.
I had been herbing and if not for the add-on, there is a good chance it would have simply flown above me and I would not have seen it.
Also, it is worth hanging around in Storm Peaks after the kill to listen to people wail in /1 as they stumble across her corpse.
I had multiple people commiserate that they had been hunting the Drake for as long as 2 months...

Coords: 47,63 - Foot Steppes near Brunnhildar Village
Tools: _NPCScan & _NPCScan.Overlay
Been camping TLPD for a while, occasionally flying his routes but stopped hunting him actively.
Last sunday after doing my 2nd daily in Brunnhildar and heading SW my _NPCScan went off. Flew into him and drew him to a nearby plateau, 10 seconds later TLPD was down. Still was positioning for a screenshot when again 10 secs after the kill the first player arrived to congratulate me for my insane luck. The same luck to you!

Just found this super rare mount after about 4 days camping at bor's breath in between raids and sleeping/eating. I guess I got pretty lucky as I probably only spent about 30 hours or so camping. I camped at the bend in the little valley with the harpies. At about 8:30 am server time on Warson my NPCscan went nuts and the time-lost proto drake showed up right in front of me. There was a shaman camping him as well but he was farther down the route and I was able to spot the drake, kill it, loot it, and then fly over to him to tell him what I found.
I recommend just camping one spot to look for him. I would occasionally fly around his patrol paths but I never found anything that way. Camping his spawn points and just not moving guarantees that you will eventually see him. The other nice part about this plan is that you can do something else like watch tv while you wait. Seeing as his most common spawn point is at the top of the frozen waterfall it seemed like a logical place to wait and it paid off!
Exact coords where I killed him: 36.7, 68.7

I have a question:
Do these rare mobs (especially Vyragosa and TLPD) have a special agro radius. Most mobs will de-agro and return to their last position after a set distance. Do these have theirs increased?
I'm always worried that when I do find the TLPD, I'll kite him to the nearest place to attack, but it might be to far out of his agro range :(

killed viragosa at exactly 03:27 server time at 29.66 right in the center of bor's breath lake.
was flying pretty high and just kitted her down and death griped. no one was near so no problem.
i must be pretty lucky...was searching for just 30-35mins around this area, passing from the spawn place every 2-3 mins.

Alright, so what do you mean by saying "the mount wouldn't show"? Do u mean that:
A) The player got ANOTHER reins of the TLPD, but the mount "wouldn't show" because he/she doesnt have epic flying, so the reins cannot be used?
B) After the player got the first reins of the TLPD, he/she learned epic flying and used the first reins, and then the player got a second one, but is unable to use it again since the mount was already known?
C) The second time the player killed the TLPD, the reins just simply DID NOT drop because the system wont allow him/her to have a second one(lol)?
Secondly, the mount drops out of EVERY SINGLE KILL, there has been no confirmed reports saying that the TLPD was killed (be it the first time or second time or watever) but the mount did not drop. Therefore the drop rate of the mount should be 100%.

Here's what i can add as far as the spawn time theories go. I just got this sucker after about a year of checking randomly, flying around for an hour here and there. I've seen him killed in front of me twice, but here's how i got him. I killed Vyragosa at 3:30am EST, logged back in literally 12 hours later, at 3:30pm, NPC scan alerted me that TLPD was spotted, /target, couldn't see where he was exactly, decided i'd fly around a bit but came to the conclusion waiting for him to path back around engine of the makers would be best rather than chase him in possibly the wrong direction. All of a sudden, mage and druid are hanging around the engine...i figured i was screwed, next thing you know, i see him flying in, immediately head over, aggro and finally, he's mine. Time was approx. 3:42pm, but like i said, i saw him first at 3:30pm, exactly 12 hours after i had killed Vyragosa. Good luck, happy hunting.
P.S: he chases you down, just fly through him, shouldn't be a problem.

I've hinted for quite some time at my "original" TLPD strategy which was "on the verge" of paying off, and finally, at last, it has, and I'm at liberty to divulge the details!
I dubbed this unique approach, "protbotting".
In Bor's Breath, near the noted intersection where three of the TLPD's patrol routes intersect, is the Abandoned Camp, and
beneath it, is a broken bridge
.
Now, you'll notice there's a harpy flying above the bridge. You can
pull it and line of sight it underneath the bridge
.
This will put you out of view of passerbys.
What you want to do - and this is the key part - is equip double Shards of the Flame, the
232
and
245
versions from 10- and 26-man Onyxia. Land a single, first, initial swing on the mob.
turn your back to the mob, and begin your autoattack.
With these equipped, your character will regenerate over 1000 health per five seconds - more than the mob will be able to dish out in damage. The game engine will see your character as actively autoattacking even though you are not landing a single swing, and not dealing any damage to the mob - and therefore, neither you nor the mob will ever die, nor will you be knocked offline.
I use USB speakers besides my analog headset connected directly to my soundcard. Set sound output to speakers.
DISABLE Game Sound, turn off music, and set volume to 100%
- high enough you can hear it while dead asleep, and the
NPC Scan mod will wake you up
.
And so, I went to bed each night, having set up in this way. About half a dozen times, NPC Scan went off when Vyragosa patted by -
but just tonight, I got fabulously lucky and nabbed the TLPD!
Hence, "protbotting" - use of high mitigation and health regeneration gear to keep your character online and in active combat.
The entire benefit of this approach is that it does not require you to be at the keyboard, but neither it is truly botting - no third-party software is controlling your character, you are merely kept online by autoattack, and kept alive by the HP5 from the trinkets.

She was with a bunch of blue wyrms.

I found this post. It explains many things:
http://www.mmo-champion.com/general-discussions-22/time-lost-proto-drake-spawn-time/msg719892/#msg719892
As far as spawn times on a low pop server: Worshaka's theory covers this as lower pop servers would mean a slower rate of Northrend rare kills; thus slower spawn of TLPD.
This theory also covers what everyone believes as a link between Vyragosa and TLPD: it basically states that TLPD has a small chance of spawning in place of ANY Northrend rare; thus its spawn rate is related to all as a function of 'when'. Few doubt that the flight path(s) of Vyragosa are shared by TLPD, which covers the 'where' aspect.
I have seen Utube videos of TLPD moving clock-wise and counter, by the way.
I have killed Vyragosa 3 times( all Bor's Breath as it turns to Valkyrion), got ganked on TLPD once (eastern edge of The Foot Steppes he was flying in from Brunnhildar) and seen the corpse of both at least 3 more times. I have read all the forums on Wowhead, Wowwiki, and Thottbot. The above theory seems the most savvy, imho.
My Conclusion: 1) Camp upon or follow the flight path of Vyragosa while 2) your guild goes all over Northrend and poaches every other rare in all other zones, forcing the spawn cycle or 3) you fly to as many non-Storm Peaks rare spawn areas as possible after a Vyragosa kill (effectively doing the same as #2) and return about 5 and a half hours after that mark to Storm Peaks.

Most likely it isn't that they respawn always on the hour, but more likely that the farmers have killed them on the hour because most farmers log in in that manner. I just kill Vyragosa and she had just spawned. The time was 11:54am. Keep in mind that the time from death to respawn is most likely based on exact hours from death... be it 6 hours or 20 hours.
Happy Hunting! I know I'll still be out there farming.

I just bagged him yesterday on Maelstrom at about 3:15 PM server time. I've only been looking for him for a few weeks off and on so I feel very lucky to have found him.
To confirm a few things from my encounter:
1. He moves very fast, he actually agroed me at the same time my SilverDragon addon dinged.
2. Snowfall Lager works great, I killed him while I was slowfalling after he dismounted me.
3. He does teleport right behind you.
4. You do need to be ready when you loot him to click to bind quickly as it is rare and you may be pressed for time since others will try to kill you and take your hard earned mount (I had to kill a horde mage who was a little late for the looting but was upset I beat him to it).
5. I found him just East of Valkyion on the frozen lake, he was just high enough that a fall from that height would be fatal without a slowfall of some kind.
That said, happy hunting all.

TLPD Macro Scrpit
I've written a helpful little macro script to help you when camping TLPD. It'll target him if he's around - if it does, it'll put the skull icon on him, play a sound, and print a red warning message to your screen:
/target Time-Lost Proto Drake
/script if UnitName("target") == "Time-Lost Proto Drake" then SetRaidTarget("target", 8); PlaySound("LEVELUPSOUND"); UIErrorsFrame:AddMessage("You've found the Time-Lost Proto Drake!", 1.0, 0, 0, 10.0); end
Just create a new macro - I recommend using the blue proto-drake icon - copy and paste the above into it, drag it to an action bar, and key-bind it. Spam to your heart's content.
Enjoy!

After a While of Farming I have finaly found out how the rares MAY spawn! Note : Only 3 rares may be alive in WHOLE northrend at a time (Same with outlands for "Bloody Rare")
http://img706.imageshack.us/i/rarespawnorder.jpg/]
Started at Brunnhildar in Storm Peaks, Went off to search for possible rares that may make TLPD spawn. Flew around searching . Found terror spinner ("T" on map)
. Continued my flight down to grizzly , as soon as I came there Syrean Bonecarver poped up("S" on map)
. Flew towards Conquest hold , Found Seething hate in Vordrassils Heart (Miss marked on map with a "G" lol) .
Was about to leave when npc scan randomly poped up Grocklar "SH" on map missmarked also). Flew towards the spawn point of Perobas by camp winterhoof in howling fjord when my npc scan found Perobas ("P" on map).
Continued to look for possible spawns and as I flew east of kamagua King Ping poped up (saw it before NPC scan saw it , Marked "KP" on Map)
Flew towards Nifflevar and where Vigdis the War maiden should spawn (killed her before and I knew the spawn routes) When She poped up right infront of my eyes (before npcscan also. Marked with "V" on Map).
EDIT: Flew to new hearthglen . Found Scarlet Highlord(Not marked on map).
Flew To Stars rest Found "The Indu'Le Suvrivor".
Went to borean Found Icehorn at the border of dragonblight.
Flew to Geyser Fields where I found Fublumb Gearwind.
Flew towards the nexus and found Old Crystalbark.
Went to Zul'Drak once again. Where I Found Griegen under Zeremas.
Flew straight to Jotunheim(Icecrown) and found Hildana Deathstealer by Valhallas (icecrown ring of blood).
Went to Scholzar Basin after looking for any other possible rares in Icecrown, Then I found Aotona just Weast of Rivers Heart.
So as I See it , The rares spawn in a order. After the last one is killed . They start all over from the lowest lvl ones (place where you go lvl first) up to the high level ones. Happy Hunting!
Addons used ; npc scan . SilverDragon . Rare spawn overlay

This has been confirmed by other ppl with the same experiance) then flying round finding the rets of them. Searching for more alternative mobs that could spawn took me around 3 hours. But its defiently worth it since you don't ever need to hunt them afterwards (exept the TLPD wich everyone's after and the spawn rate is ... curently almost unknown)

I Found Vyragosa dead at about 21:57 heading into Valkyrion not from the Bor's Breath Pass.
Today i found and personally killed Vyragosa again, this time outside Valkyrion heading into Bor's Breath at 12:59.
Its safe to say that it took her 2 minutes to reach Bor's breath from Valkyrion's exit.
Which would mean that, at anytime from (X):50 to (X+1):10 in a certain hour time, she spawns with a chance to spawn this mob.
Which so far, it means the theory that blizzard has created a schedule could be true.
So, In my opinion, the best way to find this mob is would to be (If you have no competition) wait for him outside Valkyrion and patrol between bor's breath for 20 minute at each given hour like :
20:50 - 21:10
21:50 - 22:10
And so on, hopefully you'll have made enough gold from killing Vyragosa to buy yourself enough eggs to create a proto-drake mutation.

He was headed right for me on my carpet, so I dropped in, aggroed, jumped off the carpet, dotted him up, and stopped trembling about 30 minutes later. LOL! Anyway I am still on the search for him on my mount collector.

According to what most ppl have experianced . He is always close to Bor's. OR the area over brunnhildar (With blue dragons). I don't belive someone has seen him over ulduar where his spawn routes may also be ? :O
Also he is a Rare spawn of a Rare Spawn. Wich could be a bit hard to understand lol. I asked a GM about this guy and they gave me some "info". They said "Yes Indeed , this is the rarest mob there is in the game and the ones who has seen him or slayed him has been lucky. This creature has no spawn timer , nor has he an exactly spawn point." Then we stopped talking since I loged :O

I got him today at 13:53 AM on Skullcrusher EU.I camped him for 3 days. He has spawned somewhere near frosthold but i was afk when NPCscan played the sound. I came to computer after 2 minutes or so and saw TLPD was found and i hoped he is still alive and he was. I killed him on cords 32 65.
At 22:53 PM i was flying to K3 and i found another one dead lying on cords 27 65. So he can spawn two (or more) times during one day and if he was killed immediately he has respawned after exact 9 hours

My recommendation is to camp the blue bonfire/south entrance area of Valkyrion. I can confirm it's a spawn point for Vyragosa, as within the past week she has spawned right in my face (I was flying about 30-40 yds high) three times while camping in this location. And where Vyragosa spawns, so can TLPD.
Don't be discouraged if someone claims to have killed TLPD as you're camping this spot. It's far easier to just sit tight, have NPCScan running and your speakers turned up and wait it out than drive yourself batty flying around the zone 20 times a day.
(If you're a paladin as I am, have Ret Aura on, a Snowfall Lager keybound, and Divine Storm ready once you've been dismounted.)

I just wanted to give my own experience in finding the TLPD in case it might help others... I never "camped" it. I always flew around the Storm Peaks when I wasn't doing anything else, or simply waiting on randoms.
Knowing that the spawn rate for the TLPD is approximately 1 in 8 spawns to Vyragosa I decided to follow the Vyragosa trail on the maps given in hopes of running into her or even the TLPD. I really only started following this method for 2 days. The other days I was following the TLPD path only.
I found the TLPD on Vyragosa's "path" near Ulduar at 41, 31 . He will aggro if you fly into him, he doesn't hit very hard at all, he is flying not crawling and he's flying pretty slow. Also he was going in a counter-clockwise path as previously stated. Hope that helps a little!

The TLPD does not share spawn timers with Vyragosa. This is a very common misconception and one that causes many people to miss TLPD spawning when they're trying to camp him.
For example, I spent more than 30 days camping Bor's Breath for the TLPD. Like everyone else, I believed he shared spawn timers for Vyragosa, which would mean he spawns no less than 6 hours after she was killed. After every Vyragosa kill, I would log out for about 5 hours to get some rest from camping him.
One day, toward the end of my 30 days of camping the TLPD, I decided to go to Sholazar Basin and camp Aotona after killing Vyragosa. Because I was using NPC Scan, I felt comfortable taking a nap by my computer desk after turning the volume up to max. Three hours later, it goes off, I tame Aotona, and decide to head back to Storm Peaks.
A friend of mine who was trying to help me camp the TLPD said it had spawned in Bor's Breath around 4 AM and he wanted to know if I'd finally gotten the kill. I told him I hadn't and asked who had killed it. He said he didn't know.
Other reports during my 30-day camp have only confirmed that TLPD does not share the same spawn timer as Vyragosa.
They share the same routes, but they do
not
share the same spawn times!

Hey guys,
I will now try to clear things up a bit about the Time-Lost Proto Drake and the Vyragosa spawn. I know you wont be able to believe anything you read, before you experience it yourself, and that is exactly what I did.
About a year ago, I started hunting Time-Lost Proto Drake. I had then hear that it had about 1/15 chance of spawning each 6th hour. I can't tell if this is true or not, the only thing I know for sure, is that Time-Lost Proto Drake is a rare spawn of Vyragosa, indeed. I Found Time-Lost Proto Drake's corpse 5 times before I eventually killed it myself about three weeks ago. And yes, it took me over a year to obtain it. During this time, I made up a few theories:
1. Every area in Northrend has a amount of rares. Each rare, except from Time-Lost Proto Drake has a 6-9 hours respawn timer.
2. Only ONE rare can be spawned in each area at the same time - when this one is killed, the others has a chance to spawn. The recently killed rare, can spawn again within 6-8 hours, but other rares in that area can spawn again only few minutes after that kill.
3. Storm Peaks is different from other places in Northrend. Vyragosa and Time-Lost Proto Drake can not spawn at the same time, but Vyragosa or Time-Lost Proto Drake can spawn at the same time as Dirkee or Skoll, which is other rares in this area. Skoll and Dirkee can not spawn at the same time.
4. Whenever I kill Vyragosa, or find her corpse, I leave Storm Peaks and get back 6 hours later, for camping 3 hours. Usually, Vyragosa should spawn by then, if it does not, you probably have missed the spawn, or she has been skinned. When I killed Time-Lost Proto Drake, I am sure I did not miss the spawn. After Vyragosa was killed that day, it passed 12 hours before Time-Lost Proto Drake spawned for me. My theory is that whenever Time-Lost spawns, it will be 12 hours after a Vyragosa kill. So if you notice that you haven't seen Vyragosa for more than 9 hours, you should keep your eyes up for Time-Lost Proto Drake later on.
-What happened in point 4. happened once again when I helped my friend out getting Time-Lost Proto Drake. 14 hours after our last Vyragosa kill, Time-Lost Proto Drake showed up at Bor's Fall. We did not miss a Vyragosa spawn 6-8 hours earlier, since we both covered all the 4 spawn points.
Good luck with your very special Time-Lost mount. It's precious, and worth all the pain!

Just got it.
Vyragosa was killed at 3.51pm server time, TLPD spawned at 1.51am exactly the next day, i'm gonna say the 51 is just a coincidence.
Was flying back to dalaran after a 9 hour afk at Bor's Breath and there it was at the waterfall.
I seriously hope you all get it, everyone that puts all the time in for this thing as most of you guys have deserves it, such a relief to finally have it.

Edit: This was in response to a comment which has since been deleted.
@ Maroma
It is not true that only one Rare Elite is spawned per area. Just a few days ago, I killed
Icehorn
in Borean Tundra, then when flying back to the Airstrip to log out, I found
Fumblub Gearwind
who was already dead, and nobody was around.
Also, I was waiting for my friend to show up so he could get credit for Icehorn and I had him tagged but alive for around 10 minutes.
That means Fumblub was killed (and therefore, spawned) at the same time as Icehorn - In the same zone, making your theory wrong.

I obtained this mount last year on the Feathermoon realm on my mage, Rosalela. I've had my warlock at 80 now for awhile, and decided to try for Time-Lost drake number 2.
I took up my position at the usual spot just above Bor's Breath near Valkyrion. Coordinates of 28, 65. This was the exact same area I was at on my mage when I bagged the Time-Lost drake.
I've spent the last 14 days waiting. I killed Vyragosa 11 times in total while camping. As with my last kill, I noticed that Vyragosas spawn timer grew longer and longer with each spawn. Its possible she might have spawned over by the Engine of the Makers and someone else killed her.
Tonight I was alt-tabbed out reading some news websites when I heard _NPCScan take off with its alarm. I quickly popped back over to wow.
There it was flying down from the mountain just outside of Frost Hold. With my Snowfall Lager in hand, I made my move. I flew into the drake, dismounted, hit it with Corruption, and then popped the Snowfall Lager. Put Curse of Agony on it, and in about 15 seconds we were on the ground.
The dots did not kill it, but a quick Immolate, Conflag, and then Chaos Belt were far, far enough to send the Time-Lost Proto-Drake back to the twisting nether. Obligatory 'kill' shot included:
Obligatory Killshot - http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v201/ninjee/WoWScrnShot_072810_221428.jpg
With its body laying dead at my feet, others began to show up. A few congratuled me on the kill. A few minutes before it spawned, another fellow who was camping it logged off. I had the entire Bor's Breath area to myself.
Best of luck out there to everyone, I, myself, will soon be going after Time-Lost drake #3.
As has been said above, NPCScan, ESNRare, and make sure you have "Sound in Background" enabled. The macro that was posted is also very, VERY handy.

I got this mount on my second day of hunting.
The first day, I had no luck in even finding a single Vyragosa/LTPD corpse.
The second day, I found a Vyragosa corpse, and returned 5 hours and 50 minutes later to start my routes. I flew around stormpeaks ( The very long route that covers all possible spawns ) for about an hour before I decided to come on WoWhead and review my routes, and as I tabbed back in game I saw this cutie pie flying just a few hundred feet in front of me! He just spawned near Valkyrion. My only advice is this - Don't expect to get lucky. Instead, just do the math. Find a corpse and come back a bit early and do your routes until you find something. If you are searching for a corpse in order to establish a time-frame for yourself, then I suggest you idle where bor's breath meets Valkyrion, while checking your routes every 20 minutes. You really can't go wrong.
Only cataloged spawn time is -
Vyra - 12:25 am - found corpse
TLPD - Killed at 7:10 am
Roughly 7 hour spawn.

A guildie of mine recently reported seeing Vyragosa's corpse within 10 minutes of the TLPD.
So much for the whole "shared timer, only one comes up at a time" theory. >_<

This is going to make me some enemies, I'm sure, but here's what I did:
This evening I decided, after reading a majority of the posts here, that I would take some time out form active gaming and camp TLPD and Vyr. I found a nice spot about 50yds up in the air at Bor's Breath and chilled there. I turned the sound off on the game, but set my npcscanner to temporarily turn the sound on when its alert goes off. The allowed me to turn the volume up on my speakers while I was out of the room doing housework, or alt-tabbed watching shows on TV, doing work, or checking email - a very good set up and plan, honestly.
I figured this endeavor was going to take me awhile, especially for TLPD after some of the things I had read about its ridiculous spawn timer. So, imagine my surprise when I had just finished watching an episode of Big Bang Theory (WoW dork and a BBT junky - huge nerd, I know! XD) when the heart-stopping default alarm for npcscanner goes off. It had only been a few hours, so I was really shocked, albeit pleasantly so. Much to my surprise (I should mention at this point that I was facing east in my in-air camping spot) I saw TLPD coming right at me on my screen. I immediately flew into his agro range, then dive-bombed to the ground, dismounted, summoned my pet, and took the mob down pretty easily. At this point, I checked the 'time played this session'...3hrs 32min. I was extremely excited.
Although many people may be angry at my luck, I would just like to say this: while I was intent on getting this mount like many people here, I went into it having no intention of adjusting my life for the purpose of obtaining it. If you just make for yourself a simple set-up and plan like I had, there's no reason for camping TLPD to be cumbersome or make your life unproductive while you do so. Also, you never know, you might get lucky like me! :-)
Happy camping, all!

Hey all,
This comment thread, along with the thread of the actual reigns of the drake, have been my shrine for the past two weeks.
Granted I am a stay-at-home army wife with a toddler and a puppy, I do not spend numerous and countless hours on the game. (However, after reading all these comments, I might just have to set my computer up for AFK camping ;D) Nevertheless, I have put several hours so far into camping this legendary beast, and suffice to say that the boredom and agony of this camp is completely and utterly understated.
I've found my camp spot between Valkyrion and Bor's Breath, above the frozen lake. But after seeing neither hide nor hair of Vyragosa OR TLPD, I am quickly losing confidence. I'm aching for this mount, and my luck by typical standards is fairly low. I see lots of people who don't spend nearly the amount of time camping as some of us die-hard go-getters do, and I must admit that is somewhat discouraging -- but, in the end, I suppose it comes down to a fair amount of luck, and knowledge.
My personal experience has been nothing exciting, nothing really to up-rate or pour over for information on how to tediously camp the Time-Lost. But, despite the time spent without luck, and the horde who decided to fly past me on a shiny TLPD mount while I'm sitting here wasting my life away, I hope I'll still snag victory in the end. :)
I will post more here as time goes by... for all those people, like me, hopelessly ordinary and luckless in their endless search.

despite the age of this comment, I think it's one of the best. There's a LOT of conclusions and generalizations made here about frequency of spawn of both Vyragosa and Time-Lost Proto-Drake but not a lot of data to back it up. Here is data. This one can actually TRY to draw some conclusions from. I wish that my own empirical data was sufficient that I could draw similar conclusions, unfortunately I seem to miss respawns, unless every time I kill Vyra 12 hours or more passes for a respawn, which I find unlikely, given how many data points DO seem to suggest a shorter spawn time.
Dumb luck got me this mount on my priest, but I've been trying to use luck and persistence and timing information to get this mount again on my hunter. So far, no go.
Several people offer up percentage chances that TLPD will spawn instead of Vyragosa, but no one says how they picked this number. As far as I can see, it's out of a hat. I wish we had better data and could really come up with a good number. Sigh.

After 5 days camping, it came along, as it always does, when one least expects it. The most important data first:
Maiev server during my week of camping:
Tuesday I sighted and killed Varygosa Bor's Fall 9:47am ST
Thursday heard of Varygosa's corpse sighted around 2pm hour ST
Friday I sighted and killed V again in the Bor's Breath corridor 2:15pm ST
Saturday TLPD Bor's Breath 9:31am ST
I saw nothing on the night camping ( I was on most of the time, and had npcscan on while sleeping as much as possible)
Now the rest for those interested:
It does seem to hover in the 9am-ish and 2pm-ish time slots on this server, but I did not let that keep me from staying on every other waking moment of my life in case there were other times.
The time slots do seem to indicate a very ROUGH 5 hour difference, however note that I didn't have skinning, so it's pretty random that my actual kill on Saturday was BEFORE the Varygosa killing on Tuesday, which would suggest that the spawn time was not shifted by the corpse decay time of 30 minutes.....even if I was farther from the spawn point, there's no way it would have taken that much time to get to me.
Based on what I've seen, there is no spawn timer set in stone, but it's not entirely off to schedule the camps a few hours apart once a kill is made.
And now the unsolicited sagely advice:
Don't agonize over this thing. If you're not the kind of player who can approach this as a realistic hunt (in which one waits forever for the prey to show up), I'd advise collecting other easier rares and occasionally just buzzing through SP to see if you get lucky.
I myself got into it. I enjoyed the environment and the music, and really liked the idea that I was hunting a strange, rare monster. I sort of viewed it as like Monster Quest but without all the stupid infrared face cams and heavy breathing.
Be really wary of enemies in the area, I kept having Alliance scum trying to knock me off my mount and installed Spy addon to help with this.
I learned it was a bad idea to make new friends who are also camping this. It presents a glaring conflict of interest. The person I talked to during the camp was devastated when I got it first, and demanded that I help him camp it too, which based on his behavior I declined. I would have helped if he hadn't gone all caps lock on me.
That's it.

That's because I think the people camping for the mount would nerdrage and go homicidal on blizz.
I know I certainly would. I almost did when I was camping in Sholo for Loque. Putting a rather desirable hunter pet on frostbitten is evil.

Just got mine last night @ 11.40pm server time (Windrunner). Got him at 52,35 near Ulduar, so he is still out there for those that have the patience to camp hard for him.
Took me about 2 weeks and many Vyragosa spawns/sightings to get this guy, but the mount is very well worth it.
Just a piece of advice... Camp a known spawn area and try to be there as often as possible, get friends to help you camp other spawn locations. Flying around can only lead to a missed spawn or picking a direction in which you are running opposite from the way he is heading. Do your research and try to work with others in the zone on sightings.
Also, for those of you out there that have seen one of the two, pass the information around. It might just help out your camping as well.
Forgot the screenie:

Well Penguinpanic, I have more info to support your theory:
A few months ago, I got the TLPD on my DK after camping it for 2 weeks.
I went back and checked my screenshot, and it was 21:09 server time when I got it at Bor's Breath.
I am currently trying to get it on my rogue, because I never play my DK anymore. Too bad it isn't account wide, because I literally spent 12 hours/day on average for 2 weeks in Storm Peaks. My guild wasn't happy about me skipping raids because I "killed Vyra 6 hours ago soon".

Killed tonight around 10pm server time(CST-Tho-Bro). Was camping with a friend waiting for Vyragosa to spawn for the Frostbitten achievement. TLPD ended up spawning instead at the Engine of the makers.

Decided I'd give it a go after seeing vyra's corpse dead by bor's breath. The corpse was there for about an hour. For those going with the 6 hour spawn timer, I say arrive a little earlier just to make sure she was killed earlier than you thought. (ya know, if you found her corpse that is)

Well two days ago I was farming for TLPD for a few hours. Patted back to the frozen lake and found him. Right when I was about to kill him I dc'd. Logged back in, dead couldn't loot corpse. Needless to say I just about threw my desktop out the window.
I've spent months off and on hunting. Came close two times including this time. Spawned at 2:30 server on Saurfang. Good hunting everyone. maybe my luck will change.

I never look for the time lost drake. I figure that i will NEVER get him... but I am hunting rares for the achieve and learning Vyragosa's flight path on the forums. And I think why not.... while I'm here I'll check out where the time lost flies. :D So i find this awesome guy "Hoboonaparkbench" up above and he says where this drake spawns... i look intently at his photo so i know exactly where he was and position myself there... took this guy 4 hours to get a spawn. I'm like ya... one day when i have no... less of a life than i kinda do... i sat there for 20 seconds... boom he spawns... chase her til she's close to the ground as I'm trying desperately to pull there is a human hunter slow falling near me... $%^&... this is the first time this game has ever made my heart pump that fast... what a nerd... but i got him... Just a tip... if you are a huge geek like me... annoy the piss out of trade, guild and your friends ... I HAPPY!
Good Luck!

Well guys I didn't think it possible but I got him. 1: 30 pm server time on Suarfang. I camped non stop 60 hours only taking about 8 hours of rest total. I also must confirm Vyra DOES matter! Killed Vyra at 8 30 pm server. Time lost spawned exactly 18 hours later at 1 30 pm server. To my two guildies who helped camp the other spawns thank you. He spawned at Bor's Breath and patted upward past Valkyrion.
Flew into him, dismounted, used Snowfall Lagger, Heroic throw, and killed. I'm still shaking and very tired. Remember I lost him 6 days ago to a DC so I'm greatful. I must have reported 10 afk botters and to those of you who use afk bots shame on you!
Do not give up everyone! Have hope! After 7 months of casual hunting and a horrible DC loss I got him. Have hope everyone you all deserve this mount he truly is awesome. Character name is Valmir, Horde on Suarfang.

Well, I never really paid attention to spawn times of Vyra or anything, but my story is slightly humorous about how i finally got my TLPD back in february of this year.
Just wanted to share my story :)
It was on my hunter on Akama that i was hunting for it, my only 80 and planned achievement/mount collector. I had hit 80 a month or two ago, and had been obsessively hunting for the popularity rages of the time, the spirit beasts, and the TLPD. I had managed to hunt down the first 3 spirit beasts,(which the taming of Loque-Nahak and Gondria was an amazing enough one, got BOTH on the same day within three HOURS of each other :D )within two months time, and was in process of hunting down Skoll and TLPD. The day before i got it, i had been highly disappointed, as a dwarf hunter had beaten me to skoll by mere seconds at the location near the engine of the makers where all the drakes are. /cry. Sad at missing my first chance at taming Skoll by SO little time, i didn't feel much like looking around for the TLPD that night. Next morning, was debating on which character i wanted to log on to, the "do i wanna lvl my rogue that i never touch, or my lock that is ALMOST to 72, or attempt to go on my hunter for the TLPD?" I had decided to log on to my lock, which was in the same guild as my hunter, and when i logged on, some of my guildies wanted to go world pvp, so, of course, i go to log on to my hunter, which i had left flying RIGHT over the center of the engine of the makers, and not even seconds after my loading screen cleared my npcscan goes off. My heart jumped into my chest as I see what is heading directly at me, not 30 yards away.
THE TIME-LOST PROTO DRAKE.
As would anyone who just got something they had only dreamed about possibly getting, i am going all kinds of hysterics, trying to frantically type in guild chat, while trying to keep a good follow on the TLPD, i was so amped i could barely control what my hands were doing. I was an all caps allstar :P i was begging whoever in guild was close enough to come and make sure my precious drake wasn't taken from me by an alli ganker, and since my thinking wasn't the clearest at the moment, should i somehow screw up and get killed, have backup. Three guildies answered the call, while i followed it's path from engine of the makers, in a counterclockwise flight where me and fellow guildies downed it in brunnhildar village, following its loop over the terrace of the makers. Time of finding and downing it was approximately between 11:30-11:45am west coast time(i am in washington state).
All in all, it was a pain, but the saying is true, you find what you're looking for when you least expect it, and aren't even truely searching at the time. It was a wild ride getting it, and though i don't think i would have the patience to do it again, i do say that being patient, and alot of luck and timing go heavily into getting this. It may be my opinion, but i think since most of the TLPD flight paths cross at engine of the makers, it may be the best spot to camp out and wait for it to fly by, if you're lucky enough.
And to those hunters curious if i ever did get my fourth and final spirit beast, i got skoll not 2 weeks later, near the snowbank in bor's breath. :)
GL to all of you still looking!

I have no idea how to upload the pic XD anyway since we're sharing stories..
I was chatting with a friend late last night and remembered oh **** forgot to do my JC daily. So I hop to Dal grab it, have to get a necklace from an iron dwarf in Northrend. So I flew off to a cave full of them in Stormpeaks, all the while talking about mounts, ones we got ones we haven't. So get my necklace fly out of the cave.. Crossing Bor's Breath and I said "Still trying for this one" and I linked the Reins from Atlas Loot. When I hit the enter key it spawned in my face O.O like ...
in my face
I (of course)
freaked
I barely got it to the frozen falls I was shaking so badly. So.. obviously I said cooly "nvm just got it" then of course I went in freak out mode screaming I got it! I can't believe it! I swear to ... (etc). So I took a screen shot as "proof" I said his name (shows the group chat) about me still trying for it and all. Maybe you need to be talking about it? (

Hey guys!
I am camping for TLPD sometimes too, but never seen it yet, even dead... I have seen/killed Vyragosa like 6 times - all these times I have seen Vyragosa exactly at ~
29.3,67.5
@ Bor's Breath, and I can confirm that exactly this coordinates is the one of the Vyra's spawn points, and this spawn point is the same for her
two
routes - for green marked one, and for yellow marked one (look
http://timelostdrake.webs.com/photos/time-lost-routes/Time%20Lost%20Routes-1.jpg
). As we know, the TLPD is the rarest spawn of the Vyragosa, so that means, that if this is the hot Vyra's spawn point, probably, there will spawn TLPD any time too... Everytime when I have seen Vyragosa, I have seen her spawned exactly in this place, right before my eyes and about 50yd above the ground. I think this is the hottest spot to camp for TLPD... at least on Stormscale-EU. I have tried to camp at any other spots, but never seen anything good... I hope that it will help you somehow. Will continue to camping there an hope I will get my TLPD finally. :)
Good Luck in hunting! ;)
EDIT: Btw, forgot to tell you that better to not Alt+Tab your WoW while you are camping, because as I understood yesterday, NPCScan shows the window and plays the sound when he found the rare only if your WoW screen is up, doesn`t matter if you are enabled background sound. This happened to me yesterday when I found Vyragosa. I was Alt+tabbed my WoW and was reading some new comments about TLPD. When I Alt+Tabbed to WoW - I heard my Murloc sound and the window about the rare... But when I didn`t saw Vyra anywhere near to me - I was really wondering and was thinking, which route she has chosen... Flew over Valkyrion - nothing, flew back and turned to left - over Bor's Breath and saw her almost finishing her first round at "green" route. So be careful! Even if you Alt+Tabbing, check your WoW very frequently! ;)

JUST GOT HIM!
This should be a nice story for those of you whom, like me, have spent lots of time religiously keeping track of spawn times of Vyragosa and the TLPD. I'm also a very active player who spends a lot of time flying, so this Time-Lost did not go to waste on me!
I found him at 8:30AM realm time, 9 and a half hours after the last kill of Vyragosa on Blackwater Raiders server (I'm a horde character there named Velorien, feel free to whisper me about him, I'd be happy to discuss any info I have in depth)
He spawned in Bor's Breath. I was tabbed away from WoW at the time after just doing a few cycles around his presumed routes. I only had 6 hours of sleep that night after seeing Vyra go down, so I decided to lay down and relax since my bed is right beside my computer and leave myself camping in Bor's Breath near the opening leading to Engine of the Makers. Several minutes later, NPCScan went off and I jumped out of bed with my heart racing. I was expecting Vyragosa, seeing as I had missed TLPD by mere seconds the day before as he was killed by a dwarf paladin. I had also never gotten a kill on Vyragosa.
But much to my surprise, there he was, the Time-Lost Proto Drake retreating down the frozen lake away from me. I raced after him, dismounted in mid air, and activated the parachute on my cloak, I flew right over him and, being a DK, managed to hit him with Icy Touch. He quickly grounded himself before I even hit the ground, then we duked it out and he went down nice and easy.
This again reaffirms the idea that Bor's Breath is such a hot spot for spawn locations, as I also saw Vyragosa spawn there 9.5 hours before TLPD.
To all my fellow Time-Lost hunters, don't give up. There's a drake out there just waiting to spawn for you, as long as you're willing to be there when he does.

Ya, just downed this guy earlier today. He was around terrace of the makers lying around 50 yards off the ground. I easily kited him down on my mount and with a lv 79 pally with 2175 GS easliy killed him.
How i found him was...well....randomly found him. Flying to do another quest and poof...large proto drake came onto my screen and ya i killed him. Very easy to do. I would bet a lv 77 who was a decent player could down him. I took maybe 25% of my health damage using a ret spec and ret gear. No problem what so ever

I've begin my search for Time Lost 4 weeks ago but decided to to the Netherwing faction for getting my Netherwing Drakes which I've completed today. Yesterday on my server of Grizzly Hills a hordie got Time-Lost if I was in SP yesterday I would have had TLPD. So I'm still on the hunt for Time-Lost and am in the hopes of seeing him though I have yet to see him alive and to kill him myself

Just got this a couple of nights ago. Pretty amazing story...
I logged off my alt to send some gold/items over from my main. It just so happened that my main was parked in SP for whatever reason in bor's breath area. The second I logged in _NPCscan procced a "BOOM" tribal drum alerting me to a rare spawn in the area-it was the TLPD! I then pooped my pants a little.
I targeted him via _NPCscan and he was directly above me-100 yards up. I saw a horde hunter blazing my way so I Immediately went to crusader aura/popped Aura Mastery and flew in range and judged/tagged him--It was an epic. I bubbled and avoided the fall damage- to my dismay the TLPD followed me all the way to the ground! Easily nuked and looted! Bam!
*Just a side note--I also got the Baron's mount on 2 toons both on the 1st run of Strat! True story! I guess I'm just a lucky guy :P

Hey there guys and gals of the *OMFG WHY WONT THIS STUPID DRAKE SPAWN ARGHHHH* club.
Just thought I would let you know i downed the annoying little dude at 1:23 ST on Emeriss.
Been casually camping him for a couple of weeks, read this thread about a billion times thinking where to camp etc. So just decided to go with the majority by camping at 30-65 between Bor's Breath and Valkyrion and just hope for the best. And would you know within 50 mins of getting there, he spawned right on top of me! Was watching a film at the time and i swear a little bit of poo came out after putting the volume up to full on my laptop when NPCScan screams loudly, waking both my parents up...
But still! It's all good in the end as i got him! :D
To all those still camping him, keep yer heads up! You'll get him one day :D
Much love.

Then I think we can all agree that Time Lost Proto Drake doesn't really require a trigger for it to spawn, and it sporadically (perhaps coincidentally) shares some timers with Vyragosa. But not always.
(Edit: There was a major discussion about this before that was deleted.)

So I was camping for Vyra while I was flying around I spotted Dirkee dead at 320am central time on Maelstrom. Was just north of the Engine of Makers. Two hours later I went and helped my boyfriend in HF when I came across the spirit bear Arcturis. I let my boyfriend log on his hunter and tame him at 455am central time. I was flying back to storm peaks threatening my boyfriend that I better not missed Vyra spawning since she is the only one I need for Frostbitten. Well I was flying and my NPCscan went off just a little south of the Pit of The Fang and I started freaking out hoping for Vyra, but then again it was the TLPD. I found at 515am central time and killed at 520. It's funny that this is my first real night camping Vyra and I find TLPD instead and a friend of mine had actually told me it would be funny if I found it before Vyra. Well I did =D

I do have some confirmed information, from a GM, that should help everyone out.
First of all, the TLPD and Vyragosa do share a spawn timer.
One of the dragons has a chance to spawn 6 hours+ after the previous kill.
The spawn timers are in-fact linked, and only one can be alive at any given time.
There is set spawn timer. The way the GM described the issue is as follows:
Picture the server rolling dice each time one of them is killed. The first roll is when the next dragon will spawn. (Anytime between 6 and 24 hours)
Secondly, it rolls to see which dragon will sapwn. With TLPD being a rare spawn of a rare spawn, the odds are probably somthing like this. (1-8) and its a TLPD spawn, (9-100), and Vyragosa spawns.
After that, it rolls (1-4) to see where it will spawn, and it probably rolls again to see which direction it flies (speculation).
From all the research I have done, there are 4 confirmed spawns. Bor's Breath, Brunnhildar village, the frozen waterfall, and north of The Terrace of the Makers.
Just a personal note- I have been camping on and off for several months, probably about 6 hours a week on average. I have seen TLPD alive once (somone ninja'd it), dead twice, and have 7 Vyragosa kills. If you really do want this amazing mount, prepare to invest a lot of time, and you NEED to be lucky, plain and simple. I hope this has helped you, it took me a long time to put all this together. I still do not have him as of 10/10/10 (lol). When I finally do get him I will put up another post.
-Good luck hunting!

Yeah after taking 2 months off, I came back for a night to do a GDKP ICC25. After it finished at 12:30am I thought that maybe I would go do 1 lap for the TLPD (I have spent many hours in the past hunting the TLPD). So I start my usual circuit and half way through I get a PM from some random wanting to buy a drop i got in ICC25. I agree and consider taking a shortcut back to Dalaran. But no, I keep on track and finally I hit the TLPD! After I saw it a got aggro and flew to the ground, and then lost aggro, lol. Despite all my research I got crazy and luckily I was the only one around. I mounted back up and flew back up and found it again, got aggro and slowly flew it to the ground. Killed him in 2 seconds tbh and took 1000 screenshots and went crazy in general and guild chat. LOL. Good luck to everyone out there still searching. Bluprince, Blackrock.
oh lol yeah i never made it back to trade that guy in Dala, sorry champ.

ok id like to share the info i got so here it is..
i found this guy dead at around 10:45 server time
then i went back to quest a little and my npc finder poped up saying tlpd again and at first i was confused cuz i was pretty low and he was much higher so i quickly mounted and got him at 17:35 exactly i think he spawned ontop of me but im not sure i taged him around were the temple of storm was north of brunhilder village and got the mount a bag and some neck of the bandit. maybe my realm was extremely lucky or it was just me w/e good luck to all i wasnt even looking for it as im only 79 and focusing on lvling have fun all

Started my camping session this morning 1am EST, after a reported killing of TLPD, wasn't sure if I should believe the source, 7am downed Vyra, bor's fall. After reading the comments I ran the cache check on the reins and it came up, so it's more than possible he did actually down him. Gonna log back in after a few hours of sleep an go for my own drake. Wish me luck.

Just killed him around 30, 67 i do believe at 5:59 pm EST on Lightning's Blade server. If anyone is hunting him on my server, at least you have some idea of when ONE of them will spawn next.
I am SUPER excited, had to tell my entire guild, and everyone on my friends list. After a year of off and on camping him (We have a ton of dedicated horde players that camp him religiously) i was out doing my JC daily quest in the little cave there. First good thing that happened was, first iron dwarf i killed gave me the iron brooch for the JC daily. So i run RIGHT back out of the cave, mount up, and start flying towards Dalaran. Thankfully, i stopped for a second and looked at my mini map and saw the NPCScan overlay which reminded me i hadnt checked for him in a few weeks. So i turn around and start heading towards the valley and BANG! NPCScan SCREAMS at me FOUND TIME LOST PROTO DRAKE! But i've been having latency issues recently so he didnt "Visually Load" on my screen immediately. So im spinning in frantic circles trying to see where he's at. And then the best thing in my WoW career occurs, the Time Lost Proto Drake loads into my screen. I fly into him, aggro him and take him right on the corner of the mountain edge nearby. My crab jumps out and stuns him while i step back and pew pew his face into oblivion!
He dropped the reins, Time-Forward Talisman of the Bandit (Neck, 36 agi, 55 sta, 73 AP) and the satchel which had 21g, some silver and a stack of 20 Frostweave!
If it wasnt for this thread, and knowing about NPCScan from reading this thread, i'd have never found this guy.
Thanks a ton to all of you that provided helpful hints and tips! And good luck to all of you that are still hunting him. It will happen one day, i never thought it would for me, but it did!

i would like to thank everyone who posted here . it is what kept me going thru the last 3 weeks of camping lost time. i joined the lost time club at 8.01 server time on 11/15/10 i only had a few hours a day i could camp and i thought i would never get this awsome mount. but while i camped i read the post here over and over and they really helped in getting this mount . i had camped the engines for 2 weeks with out seeing nothing so i moved to the frozen pond at bor's breath . last night i was going to leave and so i checked the snowdrift plains like i have done for 3 weeks when i got past the cave my npc went crazy i looked down and saw it was time lost i looked up and he was heading right to me about 40 feet off the ground i flew into him brought him to the ground and he was dead at my feet in a matter of seconds. it was the biggest rush i have ever had playing this game so don't give up i almost did a bunch of times... he is well worth the wait and that was on proudmoore server snowdrift planes 8.01
good luck

I'd never even bothered looking for this drake after everyone had told me how uber-rare it was. Earlier today, I was looking through all my achieves and noticed I needed to finish out "Frost Bitten". While passing through Storm Peaks, I decided to check for the Time-Lost and the sucker was there! Pulled him down with an arcane barrage and two-shot him.
I also snagged the Raven mount on my very first run on my alt druid, so that's two different rare mounts I've managed to score on the first attempt!

I was camping Bor's Breath around 31, 66 when my npcscan picked up vyragosa. I was actually on the ground when she was targeted. ive played with npcscan a little bit to make sure it worked and it seems to have a very big range. if your camping for time lost i suggest getting npcscan.
(edit nov 30)
I got him. Holy crap i got him. By my experience both vyragosa and TLPD do not fly very high off the ground. Get npcscan!....very important if you want to get this guy. My friend let me use his account so i was able to have myself camping at the Frozen lake/ Bors Breath and used my friends toon to camp by the engine where that Creteus guy is in between the routes. Finding this guy does not have to be hard. It took me 4 days. Get npcscan, camp, run in window mode, and surf the internet or do other stuff while you listen for the alarm. im on Maiev and ive seen vyragosa spawn around 1130 am and 730 pm server time and TLPD spawned today at 715 ish pm server time. Ive seen Vyragosa once at frozen lake and once at the engine. I picked up TLPD at the engine. Hope this helps and good luck hunting everyone.

Well, Breaking new info in which i discovered myself.
at 10:00am i downed vyra at Brunnhildar village.
and then agian at 02:00pm, which trashes the 6 hour re-spawn timer. therefore 4 hour spawn timer.
1st time vyra spawned on me, and second time it was on its way up from k3.

This mount does not have to be hard to get. I got him in 4 days. TLPD was flying through engine and i was camping near the Creteus guy and next to the rock cave about 40,60 in the middle of 3 routes(npcOverlay). I also used my friends account so i could camp two spots at once. My friends toon is actually the one who picked him up.
(Nov 29) Ive seen Vyragosa spawn at Bors Breath seemingly right out of the frozen lake and take the long ulduar path(counterclockwise) at 11:32 am server. 7 & 1/2 hours later(7:05 server) Vyragosa was flying through the engine and was taking the Brunnhildar Village path(counter clockwise) The next day(Nov 30) at 7:15pm server I saw TLPD by camping near the engine. Also taking the Brunnhildar Village path(counter clockwise) on nov 27 i only saw Vyra's corpse next to the big giant and the 28th i didnt see anything. i start using my friends account and boom another vyra sighting and then TLPD.
If you want this guy do your research. GET NPCSCAN and npcOverlay, camp and run wow in windowed mode. Surf the interent or watch tv and listen for npcscan's alarm. Be prepared to be logged in and not playing for hours. DO NOT FLY AROUND. camp, camp, camp. When you login you may choose to fly around a little bit and look for a corpse but after that just camp.
The most i camped for at one time was 8 hours. a couple of times I saw vyragosa so i knew i wouldnt see anything for at least 6 hours. it is pretty easy once you see a corpse because then you have a much better idea of when he/she could spawn. The worst part is not knowing when he/she was last killed.

Lots of people posting links to go here and look at their site or open another page to see their screen shots or maps, so I went through all 6 pages before this post and gathered all the data of live views and coordinates of said live sitings. I didn't use dead times coordinates as it could have been there for 5-30 minutes at least. Based on my own opinion and interpretation of the data, it looks like the best time to camp this rare would be between 12:28 PM and 4:45 AM around the coordinates of 32 67. But feel free to make your own extrapolation from the data below. If you want to help keep this going, feel free to comment below with the time you seen it and the coordinates. Do not post dead sitings unless you physically seen it die. Not interested in Vyragosa or Dirksee spawns like most of this thread is filled up with. Yes, I know there is a lot of speculation as to them being linked and how soon after one is killed the other spawns, lets just try to keep this Time-Lost data only.

Okay, I have a rather bizarre story of horrible luck.
I recently took up the challenge of camping for the Time-Lost Proto Drake. I've been doing it for about a week and a half now, leaving WoW open as I do homework, reading, studying, etc.
I normally log on at 5:30 server time. Yesterday I got on at 5:40, to discover I missed the TLPD spawn, BY TWO MINUTES. Whatever, there's always tomorrow right?
Today I get a call asking me to watch this womans kids, until 7:20. I don't want to do it, but I do it anyways because I feel bad. This woman shows up at 7:40, I log on immediately as she leaves. The TLPD spawned about one minute prior to this, right where I was. It got tagged literally SECONDS after I got in the game world.
FML.

I can confirm that he spawns at the frozen lake, along the track to the frozen waterfall. He approached heading away from the waterfall, as did vyragosa before him. Killed vyra one night, he spawned two nights later. Unfortunately, as I fought him my psu fried and my comp is currently down. I was so furious! He's cursed, I tell you!
Also be careful! I almost died and lost him after I used a floaty potion! Its very easy to float too far and exit combat even after striking him!

Been camping at Bor's Breath for a couple of days now spent roughly 9 hours listening for NPCscan to go off but got nothing, I log in today and run into a fellow Horde riding Time-Lost he tells me he found him yesterday at 9 server time, which would have been about an hour before I logged on that day. So I find this out 26 hours after this guy got his drake and all I can think about is I was so close even 26 hours seems like such a short amount of time to come to getting Time-Lost here's hoping I get lucky and get this awesome mount.

I actually killed it tonight (@1745 on Quel Do'rei) , on the eve of Cata! :) I was just flying around north between the Engine of the Makers and that Vikingesque village, and I stopped to answer a text and my npcscan went nuts! It was the TLPD!
Too bad I don't have the 4k to ride him. T.T I guess it's time to bust out the tanking gear again and marathon gold runs again.
The best advice I can give to anybody searching for him is to just fly rounds when you can and get npcscan. It's pretty much the best addon ever for finding elites. Just be patient.. I've been trying to get this guy for almost 2 months now. :) Enjoy the music and scenery.

I camped this turkey last night and today and finally at 3:30pm est I found him while camping 28,65 and he started to fly over my and back over Valkyrion toward Ulduar. I was going nuts cause I kept trying to hit him from range and I kept going out of range so i followed him and practiclally jumped on him and whooped him. One happy night elf!

My Druid just managed to run into this mob running about in Storm Peaks.
Lo and behold a fkin' Blood Elf Pally engages PVP combat with me. I shift my focus to him, moonfired him, casted a few wraths, and before I knew it I was almost dead. Luckily I had an invisibility potion on me. Pop that, then wait a few seconds while running around, then Shadowmeld so I can assess whether it's okay to heal up. Don't see him, so I heal up, then I hit Cat Form & prowl. Then I find the Belf. Behind him is the dead Drake AND I HAVE LOOT RIGHTS!
DIDN'T EVEN HIT HIM. But I forgot in the heat of the PVP moment, the had Drake hit me. AND I HAD THORNS ON! lol
So then I immediately dash towards the Drake, autoloot him, Swift Flight Form out...
Belf did a /rude to me as I flew away with his loots he was probably camping for days to get! lol
Funny thing is, I was just gonna run away from the Drake, until he attacked me. He basically gave it to me out of stupidity.

Does anyone know if TLPD is still in the game? I saw Vyragosa dead at 11:45am. I left and returned at 3pm. I then flew a loop around the spawn points of TLPD and at about 7:04pm I saw Vyragosa spawn.
EDIT: I have now seen Vyragosa 5 times. Twice already dead and three times alive. I killed her when I saw her. Mostly out of frustration. :P

ok, i have been camping the TLPD for a whole weekend with only about 3 hrs of sleep. i camp at Bor's Breath(29,65) where i have killed vyragosa 3 times and i saw the TLPD go down at about 3:53 server time, so far i havent seen the either of them spawn so i have no clue about the spawn timer... so far there is only 2 things I know for certain about this npc, and they are
1.It is still out there so dont give up hope, the dwaf that downed him flew off on the Reins while mocking me
2. this is one of the most time consuming elites to hunt, unless your willing to dedicate hrs of you time to hunting him, i wouldnt even try...

Today i saw TLPD on my third day of constant camping at bors breath but i was to eager and dident get it )=
it spawned right infornt of me and i was alone in the area camping so i was like YEA finally after 3 days of camping but my eager was to strong so i rushed to much :S when i saw it i flew towards it and dismounted and forgot to use snowfall lager :S i died of the fall.
when i got back he was still there flying over engine of the maker in my rush i dismounted and used snowfall lager as fast as i was in attack range but i foegot that he would keep moveing forward and i wouldent so i slowely fell inte the hole.....
after flying out of the holei culdent see it so i decided to take the path in the oposite direction trying to meet him at the middle, when i got to ulduar my npcscan went crazy and i was like "yes its still here!" and after that i saw that he was a corpse ),= "snort"
DONT do like me dont ruch prepare yourself and use snowfall lager when ur a bit over and infront of him to be able to attack
the time was 13.07

Yesterday morning I was doing the Vyragosa/TLPD route searching for him/her and halfway through I took a break to make some coffee. When I got back up I was dead and next to me was the corpse of TLPD. Turns out I afk'd in the middle of his path and he killed me, just after that a 78 paladin came by and killed it. So, after two years of searching I finally saw it dead at my feet... For the record it was close to Valkyrion, just south.
Later that day I took another look and about 9 hours after the TLPD kill I found Vyragosa gliding down the falls towards K3. This morning, at 8 am, I took another tour but wanted to abort before coming to the Terrace of the Makers because I thought it was pointless. However, something kept me from it and I continued ... and lo and behold there it was, gliding down from the Terrace towards the Engine.
After 2 years of searching I get to find it twice in the same number of days! And to kill it. Fantastic feeling.

Day 1 -- 9:45 P.M EST: Vyragosa spotted and killed headed South of Engine of the Makers, CLOCKWISE.
Day 2 -- 3:45 P.M EST: Vyragosa corpse spotted slightly north of Brunnhildar Village, presumably headed COUNTER-CLOCKWISE.
Day 3 -- 3:45 A.M EST: Time-Lost Proto Drake spotted, killed, and looted.
Where he was killed: (28.1, 64.5) Headed CLOCKWISE.
I was camping on my flying mount slightly around that area.

I highly suggest camping that area on a flying mount, it's very safe, right next to a spawn point, and you are where 3 of the paths intersect.
Addons used: NPCScan + NPCScan.Overlay

Can this or Vyragosa respawn immediately after a server is rebooted? I just killed Vyragosa and the server is going down in an hour for about an hour. So is there a chance Time Lost or Vyra will spawn again as soon as the server comes on or is this respawn clock never affected by realm resets?

I bagged my reins this morning (28th Dec 2010) on Alonsus; it was 00:01 UK time, 01:00 server time.
I'd been camping the same spot as psomegid above (facing into the village) and had gotten bored, so was alt-tabbing to a browser. I'd decided to call it a night, and tabbed back to the game, when NPCScan went off.
I couldn't see TLPD at all, and a quick scout down the route paths came up empty.
I found him literally scraping his way around the hill behind the spot I was originally sitting; to kill him I simply flew behind him, dismounted and attacked. He was well within range and I didn't need to use any sort of mid-air attack technique.
I use _NPCScan and _NPCScan Overlay.

been camping this for the last 30 hours and still no luck. I've gotten 3 vyragosa kills all in the bor's breath location around 31,69 though. I make a couple trips around the paths when no one is around. but for the most part camp the same spot and wait for npc scan to go off.

I allready have the mount on my warrior after days and days of in and off camping from last year, and also lol moment when i was leveling my 78 mage in Storm Peaks and wouldnt u know it, it showed up just like that... and i failed to tag it first but w.e it was ironic...
NOW, the new quest on my hunter has begun, hunter being 76 at the time of my first snoop around the area. At 13:39pm, Vyragosa spawned near the alliance camp at Bors Breath... Using my knowledge from the previous encounters, i decide to check back up in around 6 hours.
...
...
23:42pm, Vyragosa spotted coming towards me, meaning it spawned somewhere near the Ulduar area, or even at the drakes and did a long little clockround to me.
So, for today, 10 hour difference precisely.
Will update when new stuff appears.

Was camping Skoll at the spawn point above Brunhildar when I happened to look up and saw this drake cruising alongside one of the blue wyrms. A second or two after I spotted it (I was too much in shock to move), it despawned. It was sort of eerie to watch. If I hadn't been underneath I don't think I would have seen it at all since it was between the wyrm and the cliff face. Hadn't had much interest in it before, but now I'm hooked on finding it again. Just a note: I had seen Vyragosa's corpse right above Valkyrion just about 30 minutes before.

Lucky me, i just got this about 20 minutes ago at 3:30-3:50.
I had been sitting there for only 2 hours then my npcscan popped.
i will post a pic of him dead and me on the mount but i think it was at bor's breath near skoll's spawn. coincidentally i tamed skoll about an hour before i got the tlpd.
hope this helped. and the time was pm.

Ok I've been camping this guy and flying his routes for awhile now with no luck, I've only seen one rare in Storm Peaks and that was Skoll that I tamed about 5 days ago. If anybody would like to help me I'm on the server Garona and my name is Alaverrus
Edit- Just found a killed Vygarosa at 2:42

Hey all,
Just got the TLPD after camping for about 2 days. I got lucky. Read everyones posts and they all helped a lot. Started the journey when i was going after the rare npcs in Northrend and learned about the TLPD. Figured out where i should camp and was torn between camping specifically at Bor's Breath (30,66) or at Engine of the Makers (40,60). Here is list of killl/corpse of Vyragosa and TLPD that i encountered (EST) :
1/7 @ 12.30pm KILL -> Vyragosa (30,66)
@ about 8:30pm KILL -> Vyragosa (30,66)
1/8 @ about 4:30am Corpse -> Vyragosa (30,66)
@ 7:53pm KILL -> Vyragosa (45,60)
1/9 @ 2:13am Kill -> TLPD (30,66)
On 1/8 between 4:30am and 7:53pm i didnt kill or see a corpse because i feel asleep.. haha. When i woke up i did a quick round thru the most see spots and was in Engines of Makers camping but got bored and said screw it and went on a bigger round about thru Storm Peaks and initially went thru where the Blue Drakes are and my NPC Scanner went off and it was Vyragosa. So then i set my alarm for 6 hours later from that kill time and then when that time came around i headed up to Storm Peaks and did a quick round. Then decided to set up shop at (30,66). Then after about 10 minutes BAM npc scanner.. quickly look down at who is it and it said TLPD and i look to the center of my screen and there he is.. coming over the gate that town/settlement. SO next thing i did was flew straight at him and into him to aggro him and just slowly backed up towards the mountain (at about 26,65) landed and spammed the hell outta my dots. Awesome rush!
NPC Scan helps a bunch. probably a must. I got lucky for sure because i hav a low pop server. I never saw any alliance campers and only saw campers from the horde side maybe 6 times and they didnt stay very long, no more than an hour. Remember that Vyragosa or TLPD takes a minimum of 6 hours to respawn. set alarm. sit back and wait.

I just killed Vyragosa. She spawned right behind me, at 29.7 , 69.7, 01:00AM Europe time. Thanks to the NPCscan i was able to not miss her. I wanted to find the time-lost, but vyragosa is a nice one too, so hopefully i'll come across the real deal soon :)

In physics, a quantum is the minimum amount of any physical entity involved in an interaction. For example, photon is the single discrete quantum of light. For decades physicists have been debating if there is a quantum of time - the smallest discrete amount of a temporal continuum. I'll tell you this: the quantum of time, the smallest amount of it, the most microscopical temporal value is the duration of Time-Lost Proto Drake existing after respawn before he gets killed.

I completely agree with Softbone's comment. After killing 16 Vyragosa's and only seeing one dead TLPD it is indeed a rare spawn or I am extremely unlucky. I think the lost drake is all about luck and being at the right place at the right time. I have camped him rigorously for 8 weeks now, killing Vyragosa consistently and consecutively, and I normally miss him when I finally decide that I must go to do some dailies or HC dungeons. I know I have missed him because I test the link to the Reins of the Time-Lost Proto-Drake regularly before going doing dailies, sometimes only takes 20 minutes, and then when I come back and try the link again, it shows that it has been looted which means I only just missed it. That's happened a few times now. I think it is our fate that our paths do not meet (mine and that of the TLPD). Grats to those who have him already!

Hey all i wish you guys still farming this drake good luck i might have some helpful info to help some of you out if u dont already know.
first of all i've been after this mob for a year and a half on and off. and because of a stupid mistake i made i missed it by 30 seconds last year on a random sunday afternoon lol. i am currently camping a spot for it now and with this info i have gathered i hope it will help some of you.
Big edit on this post now for 6 confirmed vyragosa kills.
Current server Nordrassil EU
Kill 1.
09:30am
server time i killed vyragosa right near frost hold,
Kill 2.
a somewhat 7 hours later my good friend killed vyragosa at
16:00pm
server time Near engine of the makers near the cave were the dragons are.
Kill 3.
i Kill Vyragosa at
05:03am
server time at the valk village.(13 hours later) than the above kill.
Kill 4.
My friend gets the second kill on vyragosa at
15:30pm
server time as she was flying near the grom crash site near the library. (she being the dragon) (10 hours later) than the above kill.
Kill 5.
My longest ever camp to date stayed up nearly 22 hours from the kill above(15:30pm) Vyragosa Spawns again right on the cliff were Frosthold is at
12:32pm
server time this is no lie she flew over me i went after her. got aggro just outside the vakl village dismounted had 1hp left im a paladin so bubble ftw!.
Kill 6.
I have been in stormpeaks from the above kill sticking to my camp spot at bor's breath roughly 12 hours later
23:58pm
server time Vyragosa spawns on my face. As im feeling well slightly unhappy but pleased as if you have alot of vyragosa spawns your on the right track.
Kill 7.
well i thought i would have some luck but 7th vyragosa kill the time is now
10:53am
server time 11 hours from the last kill grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. for those that want to know she spawned at bor's fall flying up the river going towards the valk village.
These spawn times were quite long and painful my only opinion for the reason is its cata, wotlk is abandoned only to be filled with a few alts and the fact hardly anyone is rare farming like they used to in wotlk, my suggestion is to find some friend 5 or 10 to go search northrend for rares it can greatly reduce the spawn time of the next dragon in stormpeaks by up to 12 hours thanks for reading this will post when or if i ever get the TLPD next thanks.

Wow... I just got mine completely by accident. Wasn't looking for him at all -- I was trying to get the Jeeves schematic from the Library Guardians, when NPCScan suddenly lit up. I panned the camera up to notice that he was flying almost directly over me... would never have noticed without the help. I almost blew it whilst trying to take him down, dismounting in mid-air and nearly dying. Fortunately, my pet took aggro when I landed so that I didn't get my last sliver of health wiped away by the TLPD itself.
Really, really pleased. I'd only been there about 10 minutes slaughtering the little robognomes. Must be my lucky day. :D
In case anyone else is after it, this was on the Draenor EU realm at roughly 12:10pm server time.

Hey all, first time posting and i will come edit later, (on phone posting atm) but I want to tell you my success story.
I've been farming this guy for nearly a year. I've seen him twice. The first time i flew up to him (right at bor's breath) and got disconnected. Logged in and an alliance hunter got him. Yesterday, at 1:30 p.m server time (lightbringer US), my NPC scan found him. I quickly flew up to him and pulled him down to a rock where i killed him and looted my new drake. I have got to say i felt so amazing and all the time i spend was worth it.
If you really really want this drake.. camp. You will get him. I can't describe the feeling I got when i mounted him.
Later tonight i will come edit, add cords and pics....

I was flying as a hunter just north of K3, in front of the spider cave when the TLPD went straight at me. He was flying west.
I didn't know how rare it was, but because some rare creatures are good for an achievement I decided to attack it and try to take it down. I just flew into it until I got agro, landed and my pet bear took over agro. It wasn't a difficult fight.
After reading this I realized how much luck I had.
Time to get my riding skills up.

Does anyone know any lore attatched to time-lost? Also.. the idea of flying beast just roaming around and that it can be pwned and then used for one's own benefit is very similar to the idea of latios and latias from pokemon

I just wanna know if anyone knows what happens when you kill it with a group. Specifically if killing it in a group gets everyone a "Reins of the Time-Lost Proto-Drake". I THINK I can solo kill it, but if a group could help me find it, AND take it down without me losing the drop I'd like to go for it.

My data for camping:
1/19 9:33 AM Vyragosa - Frozen Lake spawn
1/20 1:44 PM Vyragosa - Above frozen lake, possibly Ulduar spawn. Counter-clockwise
1/20 9:40 PM Vyragosa - Waterfall spawn
1/21 8:30 AM SYSTEM MAIT
1/22 6:57 PM Vyragosa - Ulduar spawn. Clockwise
1/22 11:53 PM Vyragosa - Frozen Lake spawn
1/23 10:38 AM Vyragosa - Brunnhildar spawn, only saw body.
1/23 9:39 PM Vyragosa - Brunnhildar spawn. Counter-clockwise
1/24 7:18 AM TIME LOST PROTO DRAKE - ULDUAR SPAWN. Clockwise
ALL TIMES ARE EST
I personally camped a little bit out from the frozen lake spawn, however I wouldn't recommend this as you can easily miss someone taking it if you don't know that you're the only one there, as player models don't have as far as a sight range as TLPD/Vyra do.
It scared me to notice how long TLPD had been up. Apparently he spawned at the ulduar spot and flew all the way to frozen lake, where I saw him.

Cheers and good luck guys! Don't give up. I made some friends while doing this, and we all helped each other camp it. I suggest not doing it alone as you only have a 25% chance of it spawning near you. Even with two people you can cover two spawns and have all the routes covered. Brunnhildar is unseeable from waterfall spawn, and waterfall spawn follows either frozen lake route or Brunnhildar. Therefore, I suggest (with two people) to cover Brunnhildar and Frozen Lake.
For any other questions, feel free to contact me at mozzy4ever@aim.com. However, please check
www.tlpdresource.com
before you do so. That website has helped me out massively with camping and the man who made it has 4 mounts.

you think thats funny on a different server last night a hunter who had been farming the TLPD for a month and gave up, found out he had gained 25 pet slots on his hunter knowing about the TLPD and the difference between taming and killing he went to stormpeaks to do dailies for sons of hodir, his scanner went off, it was the TLPD, he aggro'ed it, dismounted, then used a trap, then spammed the tame button in his post he complained of getting a Error when he attempted to tame, then realised he was dying, he failed went to his corpse and didnt even find the TLPD at that time on his server, come on how can someone not know after a month of farming to try tame something as rare as a chance as that....

Just got the TLPD coming across Valkyrion south towards Bor's Breath at 3:22 A.M. PST on Venture CO (RPPVP) server. Not at all aware of when the last time it spawned so I can't help on the estimation of how many hours it takes to RE-spawn. Just don't go looking for it for the next 6 hours I'd say on my server.
I was camped right at the intersection of Bor's Breath facing towards the Broodmother's nest when my NPC scan went off. I thought, "here we go with Vyragosa--again!" but when I saw TLPD's name I nearly had a heart attack. I kept calm though and sacked that sucker... I jumped around the room later. =P
Oh, and my cords for the kill and where I would always camp is 28.4, 64.9. Just a little in the air over the frozen water. It's right in the middle of a couple intersecting known flight paths. I always considered it the best spot to be camped in when I wasn't flying around. I've seen Vyragosa with my own eyes spawn there a few times.
Happy hunting to the rest of you, and remember DON'T GIVE UP!

Found his corpse today after 2 days camping the area... I'll tell you I almost had a heartattack when _NPCscan yelled at me. Frustrating thing is, he was just north of my camp spot. Someone got to him before he got to me. /sadface
Will stick with it... I know he's out there. Just have to be in the right place at the right time.

GM Ticket:
Does the time lost protodrake still spawn? Me and a horde paladin have been scouring the area where it once spawned for days, and niether of us have found it. I've been here so long, I've killed viryrgosa and dirkee.
Game Master (GM) response:
Hey There!
The thing is, the protodrake shared the same spawn time as the other rares you have killed. That means
every time it is ready to spawn it can be one of those.
So you could have vyragosa three times in a row and maybe The Protodrake. Its about 5% waiting, and 95% luck.
I wish you luck and hope you stay patient.
If you need anything else, please let us know.

I camped this bird in WOTLK for months with no luck, or finding it dead, now in Cata only few ppl camping it so you guys have more chance snatching this rare mount. On pics you can see where I got it, it was usually where i camped, think Bor Fall is best place to circulate, ofc use NPC scan addon...

Today was a very good day for a friend and myself. For the last week i've been camping TLPD pretty hard. early in the week had this guy start asking questions about tlpd spawn points and flight paths things like that i helped him out told him to get npcscan and npcscan overlay. and told him where to sit if he was gonna camp instead of fly around all day. Well this morning i logged on and got a tell from him right away i turned around and there he was with his new mount i was bummed but i stayed in storm peaks doing randoms and just waiting. at 4:45 pm i decided to see if anyone else was camping at any of the other spawn points. I got to Engines of the makers and boom there goes my npcscan Time Lost Proto Drake it was 4:49pm no one else around it was an easy kill seeing i was on my lvl 85 hunter. i need to mention that my friend got his at 6:49 am at the frozen lake so we had 2 tlpd spawns exactly 10 hours apart. For me this is my second tlpd got my first on my main last year. im currently in storm peaks on another lvl 85 alt hoping for number 3.

Tezuka's - Time-Lost Proto Drake
Make no mistake, this is your white whale, and we all know what happened to the captain who chased the white whale!
REFER PIC:
http://picpaste.com/WoWScrnShot_012411_030159.jpeg
Note: I have also listed my spawn log times below.
Hi all,
I will make this report as short as possible. OK, so I have been casually flying around Storm Peaks rather blind on my toons off and on for 1-2 years. After taking a year off wow, I returned and my hunter was still leveling up in Storm Peaks, so in between, I did a few casual fly bys.
Then, early Jan 2011 my macro targeted a TLPD but it was dead and I saw a lock on it. So, thankfully he helped answer a few Qs and the sighting also helped confirm for me that it was more than myth! So given I was on holidays in the UK it was winter and I was stuck indoors at my GFs parents place, I thought why not camp this out!
So, after a few days I found myself killing Vyra many times in a row. I was convinced the TLPD would pop up. Noting at this point I had not found this website and thought it was still a min 6 hours respawn. Anyhow, after a few days, some new campers popped up!
A few Alliance guys and a Horde couple, one of those who needed every mount in the game. You see, I was only after the TLPD and it would have been my first proto. Personally, a single proto for each of my toons is enough. But I wanted TLPD specifically on my hunter, given he hunts and tames rares also!
Anyhow, my time to return from OZ came, and well guess what! While I’m 35,000 in the air, TLPD spawns. I confirmed this as one of the couple got the kill. So, given that I also returned to no job after calling my manager's manager's manager a sociopath late 2010, I thought the time was right to camp 24/7 and get this BIATCH before I return to working and giving up free time!
So, after confirming another TLPD, that late afternoon, I thought camping until I saw or heard of another would help others if I kept logs and so I did. With little sleep over the next approx. 10 days, I logged every Vyra kill I made as well as any others I had heard of.
You see, I wasn’t hording information, I was sharing it, to help others when they were camping after a fresh Vyra kill and save them time. This also helped others trust me as they shared any information while I was away.
In the first week, I found this site, and it helped me confirm the camp spots, as I was still slightly in the wrong place. Anyhow, I also didn’t believe the less than 6 hours repsawn, so much of my info and logs missed less than 6 hours early in the first week of camping, but the logs should demonstrate that in my cases, they probably weren’t less than 6.
Anyhow, in the final week, after logging and guessing I missed a few Vyras, I calculated that approx. 16:1 Vyras vs TLPD had spawned, so it was probably close. I also confirmed, in my own experiences that Vyra doesn’t spawn in the same spot in a row, however that was my experience and perhaps random!
Mostly importantly, and I’m not sure if I saw this fact on this website or if it was something I realized, but for every re-spawn it seems either on the hour or half hour and then +5 mins. I therefore figured out that the next spawns would be either XX:05 or XX:35.
So on the final camp day when I tagged and killed my own TLPD, I guessed the time, and also the fact that approx. 16:1 ratio was up! Funny enough, I was over confident and spent the evening, flying around on my alts, getting Lunar Coins for a Violet Proto come end of the year, however I had also resigned myself to ever having a TLPD and was burnt out, but I decided to log in one last time and and say my good byes to all the campers who were in Storm Peaks!
Now, before I conclude, Nagrand’s campers, although we shared some information with each other, did not respect the camp rule in terms of stacking. It was very much every player for himself. I had to accept this and it made it quite hard and paranoid, given the Horde couple had even enlisted a 3rd account and an additional guildie. Effectively, they had all 4 camp sots!
So given their unlimited resources, I did team up a little with the Alliance players, in terms of sharing info back, and it helped unsettle the Horde team a little. Until that day, I usually sat with the Horde toon who was after the TLPD and not his friends who were camping. In theory, it means if he ever flew off, a friend had found it, so I could race him. On that note, I had also purchased 310% speed that day to be able to catch him, as he’d beaten me to a few Vyras!
Anyhow, there was a mutual respect between us both and who ever had the camp spot first was OK with the other popping up at any time, but in a sense the Alliance players camping all over were a little pissed off that this Horde team was on all 4!
In the end, on the final day, as I said my goodbyes, and stared at the white slow for the last time, my girlfriend was next to me on her own toon elsewhere questing in Cata, when the dreaded horn and drums from NPC went off.
I was sitting at the Frozen Lake spawn spot, my usual haunt, and I saw the NPCSCAN 3D model of the Time-Lost Proto Drake. I looked around, but could not see it, fortunately my trusty white lion was on auto attack, and as an old PVPer, I tab targeted and fired an Arcane Shot!
I was full of adrenaline and hands started to shake, because there was a Horde toon camped with me, but he did not beat my lion, nor me. I haven’t yet tested to see if a non-party toon can take agro off a NPC that I tagged, but regardless it was mine. The news spread fast and all the campers came over to congratulate me.
Interestingly, although the Horde were a little pissed off, the main campers were comfortable it was my kill, as the other Pali next to me had jumped on the band wagon and was after it for himself, and not his guildie who camped as long as I did.
In the end, all the campers, were happy for me, Alliance and Horde, given I was so open to sharing information with them all along. Many of them had admitted that I had put in the hard yards over that period.
What I can say is that at times, I did use my GFs account to camp 2 spots, and this helped me snag Vyra twice. Mind you, I usually used her account to fly around and I never once ran into Vyra or the TLPD flying around, so camping is the best method, with info sharing where possible to help you build logs etc.
I can also state that using automator to park you toon on a MAC is not a good idea – as it’s hard to break out of the automation when you see a spawn and also if on a hunter, the pet can get the kill while you are trying to break out. So it would have been unfair if someone else had missed the TLPD due to to a pet kill. I only tried this near the end as a test and it helped detect a Vyra one morning, after I had collapsed without much sleep that week, however I wouldn’t risk my toon again with something that desperate! Spacebar every 15 mins, with speakers blaring is really the way to go!

Anyhow, there was a mutual respect between us both and who ever had the camp spot first was OK with the other popping up at any time, but in a sense the Alliance players camping all over were a little pissed off that this Horde team was on all 4!
In the end, on the final day, as I said my goodbyes, and stared at the white slow for the last time, my girlfriend was next to me on her own toon elsewhere questing in Cata, when the dreaded horn and drums from NPC went off.
I was sitting at the Frozen Lake spawn spot, my usual haunt, and I saw the NPCSCAN 3D model of the Time-Lost Proto Drake. I looked around, but could not see it, fortunately my trusty white lion was on auto attack, and as an old PVPer, I tab targeted and fired an Arcane Shot!
I was full of adrenaline and hands started to shake, because there was a Horde toon camped with me, but he did not beat my lion, nor me. I haven’t yet tested to see if a non-party toon can take agro off a NPC that I tagged, but regardless it was mine. The news spread fast and all the campers came over to congratulate me.
Interestingly, although the Horde were a little pissed off, the main campers were comfortable it was my kill, as the other Pali next to me had jumped on the band wagon and was after it for himself, and not his guildie who camped as long as I did.
In the end, all the campers, were happy for me, Alliance and Horde, given I was so open to sharing information with them all along. Many of them had admitted that I had put in the hard yards over that period.
What I can say is that at times, I did use my GFs account to camp 2 spots, and this helped me snag Vyra twice. Mind you, I usually used her account to fly around and I never once ran into Vyra or the TLPD flying around, so camping is the best method, with info sharing where possible to help you build logs etc.
I can also state that using automator to park you toon on a MAC is not a good idea – as it’s hard to break out of the automation when you see a spawn and also if on a hunter, the pet can get the kill while you are trying to break out. So it would have been unfair if someone else had missed the TLPD due to to a pet kill. I only tried this near the end as a test and it helped detect a Vyra one morning, after I had collapsed without much sleep that week, however I wouldn’t risk my toon again with something that desperate! Spacebar every 15 mins, with speakers blaring is really the way to go!
So, in the end, I was lucky, although I had camped, logged and worked out the times in a sense, I did potentially miss some less than 6 hours spawns, and in the end, I was simply at the right spawn spot – which I think according to my logs is 1 or of 3, given I don’t think it spawns in the same spot twice in a row!
Anyhow, that’s my theory and my story, I now have the TLPD and managed to snare a few Northrend rares in-between when fellow campers ran into them while I was around. I actually just scored Spectral Bear while writing this up!
Ultimately, if you want to do this right, you need time – and I was somewhat fortunate that I wasn’t working, (if you call that fortune)! Anyhow, I have job interviews this week and it’s taken a good week to get my sleeping pattern back to normal.
So, however you go about it, if you try and behave ethically, my belief is that you will be rewarded. I think after my score, a few of the campers have been disheartened, and Storm Peaks seems empty. A few have said that with me no longer around, it’s harder, because effectively I was their information headquarters for the 2-3 week period, but from time to time I fly in to offer them a hand!
The Time-Lost Proto Drake is however something that is always rewarding, because you always use it.
I hope my testimony and summary above helps others and yes, I did go a little crazy a few times camping, it wasn't easy!
Godspeed!
Tezuka.
P.S. - I do not have video, only screen captures - although I was ready to video capture it, when the time came, pressing capture wasn't the priority!

REFER PIC:
http://picpaste.com/WoWScrnShot_012411_030159.jpeg
Log Notes: I would like to add, that according to my theory, if it's +5 mins per new spawn, then there are a few I missed which my logs indicate which I have just added. These are my theoretical missed spawns to complete my report that would summarize all of my ideas. However please remember, the GUESS logs are only a theory, to help timers sync.
However, theoretically if VYRA or TLPD are despawning perhaps the time is incrementing without as many GUESS spawns. Also I acknowledge that the guesses contradict the 16:1 ratio so take them as speculation only. Anyhow, these are just my additional ideas, not actual FACTS, so stick to the facts if in doubt which are in BLUE and GREEN text!
As stated by Ponderance, the only real spawn time that you can ever trust and refer in the end are your own logs, and I think even then, if you missed a spawn while camping, then you end up camping a few cycles before you see one again, that's my theory on +24 hour spawns (noting I also saw one after 32 hours in once, and I am guessing that the server reset added 8 hours to the 24, but that's a wild idea, and I think it's been debunked in these forums, much more logical to assume I missed a few!). Ahh yes, and I also killed a few rares when able to help speed things up! Use this info as a guide, not as gospel!
BTW - for the best info on TLPD, check out this website!

Hello fellow TLPD hunters!
Finally got my drake - 8 days camping, he finally spawned for me.
According to his path, he spawned over Brunhildar and (surprisingly) made it all the way over to Bor's Fall, where I had set up camp. NPCscan went off, which always sets my heart fluttering, but usually leads to a Vyragosa let down... This time though, my fluttering heart began racing when I saw that it wasn't who I thought it was. Frantic and shaking, I began turning and searching. He was easy enough to spot, making his way toward me from over Sifreldar Village - I led him to the ground where I tagged, killed, and looted my beloved Time Lost Proto Drake.
Killed at 11:46am server time on Silvermoon US.
Don't let endless Vyragosa kills discourage you... and if you do get discouraged, just grit your teeth and stick with it.
He's out there :)

can anyone clarify the spawn times?
iv hear its around 15 hours

What i think is true: Vyragosa really has a 6h spawn rate
I killed Vyragosa and skinned him myself 3 consecutive times, what i noticed was that it aways respawned like 2 mins +- before the 6h, like 5:58 and it was probably cause of me skinning the body made it respaw a little faster..
Reading the posts here what i also think is true is that when TLPD is going to spawn we wont have a Vyragosa spawn and it will be a 12h spawn time from when the Vyragosa was last killed, but this last statement i couldnt be able to confirm since i was not able to loggin in the game on that day =/
Vyragosa AM 08:59
Vyragosa PM 02:55
Vyragosa PM 08:52
AM 02:52
? AM 08:52 (probably when TLPD would spawn)

Ok, so, as of 2/5/11, i was camping in SP and TLPD spawned at EXACTLY 10:30 server time.
Someone else tagged him in his ulduar spawn point, and i decided to return 6 hours from then.
I logged into my camping toon at 4:25 and waited.
THE SECOND the clock hit 4:30 server, Vyra spawned on top of me near the village.
I agree that a 6 hr spawn timer is evident for TLPD and Vyragosa.

No, since cata, the spawn timer has been really weird. TLPD was tagged, and then exactly 6 hrs later, Vyra was tagged. Then 4 and a half hrs later, TLPD was tagged again.
Also, if u kill tons of Northrend rares, the spawn timer becomes shorter, and you have a greater chance to spawn TLPD.

Was about to write this post saying that my guess of TLPD/vyra spawning 6 hours after the previous kill was wrong, when suddenly my NPCscan screams and there is vyra, spawned right above the frozen lake.
My kill.
I've attained some data from people over the last few days and am pretty certain that there were no in-between spawns or anything of that sort.
2/5/11
Time-Lost proto drake spawn in Ulduar at around 10:30 AM server time (Mountain time on my realm).
2/5/11
Vyragosa spawn over the village at around 4:30 PM server time (my eyes boggle at pattern of 6 hours)
2/6/11
Time-lost proto drake spawned over Bor's Fall in the middle of it, next to the harpy. My friend killed it around 9:05 AM server.
2/6/11
My vyra kill at 3:10 PM server time, over the lake. (i guessed that it would be lake since other spawn points had already yielded a rare).
What i think:
TLPD and Vyra share spawn points, paths, and spawn timers (TLPD's might be slightly longer) and that the timer is around 6-18 hours.
Dirkee and Skoll have nothing to do with these mobs.
I also went around Northrend and looked for all the rare mobs. Went across all of the spawn areas/paths and didn't find a single one. Took about an hour to cover the paths/spawn points, so some may have spawned while checking others.

US-Elune (Eastern Time)
Vyragosa
2/2/11 1500(?) Ulduar(my kill; didn't note the actual time)
2/6/11 0800 Bor's Breath (30, 65; my kill)
2/6/11 2330 Brunnhildar (from hunting partner)
Dirkee
2/7/11 Terrace of the Makers 0540 (my kill)
TLPD
2/8/11 2230 Bor's Breath (30,65; my kill approximately 7.5 hours from server restart)
Starting on 2/5, this is the result of about 36 hours camping one of the four spawns every moment that I was able to be on line; I have to sleep and pay the bills! Elune is generally quiet - average 8 players in the zone at peak times. Tonight there were 5 players when I got TLPD. I made some friends during this venture and we helped each other out. However, tonight I was solo and camping at 28, 66 when TLPD came up the river; I think he may have been coming from the falls same as Vyra when I killed her on 2/6. The coordinates above are where both mobs fell dead. In both those cases, my tactic was to fly in from above and pass through them to pull. Vyra was a little harder because she never landed and I had to use my throwing axe (rogue); TLPD came right to ground with me. I'm level 85 with iLvl 333 gear, so the fights were over in about 30 seconds (maybe 45 for Vyra) and trivial damage taken. I recommend making friends to help each other out, and don't pester other hunters that are camped before you. I had someone start to pester me about two hours into my camp tonight, so I politely asked him to find another spot which he surprisingly and promptly did - so thank you if you're reading this.
I'm not sure what time server restart was because I was at work, so I'm going on a friend's word that it was at 1500 today. Blizz reported yesterday that maintenance restarts would be at 1100, so I don't know for certain.
Good luck!

I've been camping various points in Storm Peaks for the last 2 weeks, at first wasn't even having luck spotting Vyragosa, about 3 days ago I started getting Vyra kills, 2 in a day, 1 the next, 1 the next. The story is actually pretty funny about how I stumbled upon him even though I've been camping for so long (at least 12 hours / day roughly). Had been camping him today 2/8/2011 for about 8 hours when I had to go to Org to get some stuff done before raid tonight. Got my stuff done then proceeded back out to Storm Peaks for another hour before raid started. As I got back to my camp spot I realized I was out of snowfall lager, and that I had relics in my bank, so I hearth back to org, grab my crap out of my bank and head back to Storm Peaks. Just as I had passed the frozen lake on the way to my camp spot, my NPC scan went off, and it was TLPD. I started freaking out trying to find him, and realized he was behind me, so I take off, the whole time worrying cause I didn't have any snowfall lager, so I didn't know how I was going to claim him without dying, but luckily that's a spot where he flies pretty close to the ground, grabbed aggro started flying down, and as soon I looked close enough to survive the fall, boom heroic throw. And the rest is history. I'm one 'happy camper'. See what I did there? GL to the rest of you.

I recently spotted dirkee and started kiting him around for fun, and then i ran into skoll.
Both up at same time.
No screenshot sorry, too excited, but there you have it.
Both killed quickly.
Last time vyra spawned was 17 hours ago and we are still 4 camping her spawn points.

Some morons on Dalaran server from the guild Eminence are running around claiming that they have killed the tlpd. I wanted to inform anyone on this server that they are trolling. They claimed to have just killed him but when we arrived the corpse was not there. The moron claimed to have skinned it. FOR FUTURE REFERENCE YOU CAN'T SKIN THE TLPD.
Don't be fooled by those who have already found the mount and will claim that he just spawned, it is an attempt to make others leave the area because the respawn timer may be coming close to a new spawn.

6:08 pm server time I found the time-lost proto drake flying west above the valyrian village.
I farmed this booger for four days... lost hours of sleep! For anyone out there is who trying to find this guy, i thought I would share what I have learned.
I do believe that the time-lost proto drake and vyragosa share a timer. I have timed her spawns and this are the times.
7:38pm server time vrya
spawn
bor's (heading west)
3:08 am server time vyra
spawn
bor's (heading west)
a day later- 3:38 am server time vyra
spawn
- bor's (heading west)
a day later- 5:38 am sever time vyra
spawn
- bor's (heading west)
same day ^^ 6:08 pm server time time-lost proto drake
not spawned but flying
- bor's (heading east)
By looking at the times, there was roughly a 6 hour difference (or division of roughly 6 hours)
There were times that of course I did not see vyra or the tlpd because I wasn't playing 24/7, but I can only assume that those spawns were anywhere from 6-9 hours apart.
I never once, ever, saw vyra spawn closely to the tlpd, and I do not believe that she will spawn again for another 6 hours.
I think it's obvious from what I have seen, that vyra continously spawned and shared the same path. When I found the tlpd he was flying the SAME ROUTE that vyra was taking, but in the opposite direction! I think this is because the his spawn replaced her, and thus he took the OPPOSITE direction.
I know it's odd that it only took four days to find this guy, some people spend months to get him, don't give up!
If you put your mind to it, and you tell yourself everytime you see vyra, "that could have been the tlpd," then you in fact will find him!
Dalaran server- Orfette,
Yi-ha!

So, I've been looking for this drake for a while on my main toon and gave up eventually, but then I regained hopes on my other toon and started camping storm peaks.
I camped 2 spots, the frozen waterfall, and Brunnhildar Village. I found Vyra twice spawning in front of me in Brunnhildar Village (separate days), so that was my main camping spot. On Saturday 12th at 10pm I had Vyra spawn at Brunnhildar Village and failed at killing her LOL, I slow falled myself a bit too late and died from a faceplant. When I found my body I started looking for her and she was at the frozen water fall flying towards K3, but when I got to her I saw a warrior already killing her. So from what I read pre-shattering, the spawn time after a kill was around 6 hours, so I came back around 4am Sunday 13th and camped the frozen water fall for about 1 hour and fell asleep. When I logged back in to the game around 2:05pm, exactly the moment I log in my NPC scan goes off and what do you know, TLPD is right in front of my face.
Probably one of the luckiest TLPD finds around, specially because I had no intentions of looking for the TLPD when I loged in, since I usually camp at night.
Good luck to everyone looking for TLPD, I know the pains of trying to get this mount, and I hope you get as lucky as I did and get it when you least expect it. :)
I hope I can show u my log times with my screen shot, I'm new to the forum and it's my first post.

Well........ I logged in as soon as the servers were up (earlier than 11am PST today) and did about 3 loops around and then parked myself by the harpies at Bor's Breath halfway passed the falls in that canyon. Camped it for about an hour. My NPC scan went off and it made me jump. I frantically was looking around and he was coming at me. I took the second to put a skull target on him...my mistake. An Alliance grabbed his aggro. I was pissed cuz he wasn't there before and I'd been sitting there. But oh well...another day ....so I thought. WELL! He lost aggro, don't know if he died or what but I grabbed aggro and pulled him to a cliff and dead dead! Woot, I'm so happy to not have to fly around there anymore. I'm sorry to the Alliance that I beat out, hope you get it next.

ADDENDUM: - added 3 additional Time-Lost Spawns to the notes for Nagrand!
05/01/2011 - 10:00pm - TLPD (missed this one by 2 mins)
16/01/2011 - 06:00am - TLPD (missed this one as I was 35,000 in the air)
22/01/2011 - 04:50pm - TLPD (confirmed weeks later)
24/01/2011 - 02:35am - TLPD (my kill)
08/02/2011 - 09:55pm - TLPD (5 mins before server maintenance)
14/02/2011 - 02:05am - TLPD (camper's kill)
25/02/2011 - 12:45am - TLPD (brun)
14/02/2011 - 09:34am - AEONAXX (just an FYI)
All have been confirmed, and seen, and it's worth noting, my above analysis is BS if you look at the days, I didn't even realise I missed a TLPD, although i did calculate that I missed 2 spawns, and the guy who got his on the 22/02/2011 did say there was a VYRA approx 6 hours earlier.
So, the analysis is somewhat on track, apart from one fact - TLPD obeys no rules - any spawn, has a chance to be a Time-Lost!
Happy Hunting!
Note: I think 22/01/2011 should have been 21/01/2011 according to my analysis and missed spawns, so I will double check!

Just killed this bad boy flying through Bor's Breath heading away from the valk village towards the waterfall on my DK.
Found him on the Darksorrow server about 08:45am 20/02/2011
On a side note i also found him yesterday around 19:35pm 19/02/2011 but he had already been killed so it looks like they have changed the spawn timers.
GL guys
Edit: Don't believe my luck, just found him 30 mins later on the Hellfire server on my Hunter. Good day at the office lol

I'd like to thank all the people who came here with valuable information about TLPD! I got mine this very morning!
I thought I'd contribute and share my log here for people who might be interested in hunting it. I have been camping Bor's Death almost everynight from Jan 30, 2011 until today. I have also been patrolling Storm Peaks very often during daytime when I had the chance.
Please note that I have certainly missed many spawns during that time as I was not there 24/7 BUT it's still pretty interesting to see there are alot of similarities in my findings:
30/01/11, 9:35am
Vyragosa
found dead on the hill next to frosthold.
01/02/11, 12:21am
Vyragosa
spotted flying in front of Ulduar, killed on top of temple of wisdom.
03/02/11, 12:20am
TLPD
spotted dead in bor's death at the edge of valkyrion. Shattered my soul.
05/02/11, 1:35am
Dirkee
spotted and killed north of the engine of the makers.
07/02/11, 1:35am
Vyragosa
found dead in Bor's Death.
Skoll
was also chilling around her dead body.
13/02/11, 1:04am
Vyragosa
spawned 100 yards above me, next to frosthold. Killed her as soon as I noticed.
15/02/11, 12:35am
Vyragosa
spotted death in Bor's Fall.
16/02/11, 5:28am
Vyragosa
spotted and killed coming up Bor's Breath, on her way to valkyrion.
19/02/11, 2:29pm
Vyragosa
spotted dead on a hill in Bor's Fall.
20/02/11, 5:26am
TLPD
flying towards me in Bor's Death on his way to Valkyrion! There was no one around so the kill was all mine! The feeling is awesome, probably as close as I ever got to a heart attack XD
During those three weeks I have killed
Skoll
about 5 times. Poor Skoll not even NPC scan gives a crap about you!

Just got this BEAUTY at 18:00 Server time- BloodfeatherEU
Had a close shave. After camping this mount for 2years on and off, 3solid days of camping and 4Vyragosa's later, this is MINE!
All camping was done at bors Breath, was AFK and BOOM! NpcScan went off, needless to say i was screaming and my hands were shaking. I killed it at (31,65) I had to instant lava burst it during mid-air, as there was a horde warrior there aswell. Fortunately i killed it in one hit.
Goodluck guys, I have seen this mob twice before on my rogue, once dead, and once i was killed WHILE killing it.

Got mine yesterday after camping for over 4 months. Killed @ 2.32ish server time on Bloodscalp.
Flew down from engine of the makers to bor's breath. NPC scan went of at the same time as I saw it. The drake model was smaller than I expected, much smaller than 'gosa. It is fast. Tagged it mere seconds away from it setting of the alarm of an alliance toon camping the top of Bors at the frozen lake. Kill is supremely easy at 82. Dead in about 5 seconds.
Here's some tips:
1. Print out a map showing the paths and the direction it flys in. Fly in an opposite direction around the map when you patroll for it so that you run into it instead of chasing. It flys pretty fast so you increase your chances of flying into it this way.
2. The 2 best spots to sit for it are at either end of the valley with the smaller of the 2 waterfalls at Bor's Breath.
3. Sitting in the spawn spots is not such a good idea. I saw Vyragosa spawn from one of the camp spots mentioned above. I don't recommend sitting in the spawn unless it is crowded in the zone. You are more likely to get it flying unless someone else is camping the spawns.
4. Have some luck. With what people say about the spawn rate on this, it's really just going to be a matter of luck that you get it. Spending time camping is the only way to increase your chance of luck. Even if you do see it, chances are its dead or tagged already.

Just a little update!
Been camping in Storm Peaks for a week and a half (whenever I am on - Which unfortunately isn't 24/7). Spent 18hours there yesterday (25th Feb) from 7.30am until around 1.30am. No sightings of Vyra at all until 9.10am(ish). Killed her, then continued my waiting game. Vyra spawned again at my campsite at approx 6.15pm (Around 9hours after I previously killed her).
The co-ords I camp at are 31, 69.
Dunno if this info is useful for anyone, but just thought I'd put it out there!

After 2 years and a half of hunting this little thing I've finally put my hand on it.
It's long an painful.
My only advice is that in order to make this as painless as possible , do not keep your hunt linear , try variation , especially since there is less people in the area nowadays.
Good luck ^^

First time I ever went to look for this guy, found him within 2 minutes of entering Storm Peaks. Flying above the frozen waterfall near K3. I almost shat my pants when NPC scan popped this guy up!

Downed TLPD this morning at the Frozen Lake spawn point on the Caelestrasz realm. Approx 4 hrs & 15 mins after server came back up following maintenance so the change to the spawn timer since Cata is 100% accurate. As mentioned by prev posts,

is def the go for a bunch of useful info.

Hi everyone, after camping this guy for some time I finally got him not long time ago! I want to share with u some of my notes, while camping.
I was always camping one and only one place 31.69 for 24h per day, and using all guides and tips from tlpdresource - great thanks ! Sometimes my fiancé was camping second place where it spawn near waterfall 35.76.
Here some facts
vyragosa 27/02 10.00pm found at Bor's breath (first time when i went camping, my kill)
vyragosa 28/02 08.06 am found at Bor's breath near waterfall (my kill)
vyragosa 28/02 06 pm.39 spawn at waterfall (fiancé kill)
vyragosa 01/03 09.20 am spawn brunnhildar (fiancé kill)
vyragosa 01/03 00.05 am spawn frozen lake (my kill)
vyragosa 02/03 01.38 pm spawn frozen lake (my kill)
time lost proto drake 03/03 06.56am spawn at frozen lake!
All rares spawned at this place, were instantly aggroed on me. It was tough but it was worth it, thanks to all campers who i exchange informations with :) And my Love too, who was patiently helping me :) Good luck all, dont lose faith :Dc

After hours of camping, I finally got my drake several minutes ago. I'm still shaking, too, what a rush!
I've camped on and off ever since it was discovered in Wrath, but I've never seen so much as a corpse of it until tonight. I've always sat above the lake in Bor's Breath and waited, and I've caught Vyragosa there twice. I just logged in about twenty minutes ago and decided as long as I'm up talking to someone, I might as well be camping.
Long story short, it showed up flying towards me from the river at exactly 2:50 AM EST. Less than a minute later, an alliance druid appeared and probably started cursing at their screen.

This guy appeared for me this morning at 5:30am Server time. He was directly over engine of the makers when I saw him 40.2, 57.2 . He doesn't fly that fast and was smaller than I expected. Awesome mount. Good luck and happy hunting

Something I noticed today, that "could" potentially help farming:
When a rare spawned, I had a tiny lag. Not a lag, where your connection is lagging, but a lag where your game stops for a split second to load something.
Noticed this, when Vyragosa and Dirkee spawned.

Killed just now at 35, 76, .. East of the hold.
VERY LUCKY,
I camped this guy for a hour about a year ago, gave up.
Tonight I saw someone riding the Phosphorescent Stone Drake, and I looked it up, i saw it was the new version of Time-Lost, so i went check Deepholm, made a macro, it wasn't up, so i decided to go check Time-Lost, I used my argent grounds tabard, and I flew into Storm Peaks, I put auto-run(fly) on while i fixed the new macro, my first click on the macro showed the Time-Lost right in front of me, I killed it.
I must have opened 100 eggs for the green drake, no luck, but this i get, weird~

Been camping the Frozen lake for around 6 hours per day for the past week, was on Vashj EU but transferred to Earthen Ring.
Just had some alliance come up to me on the drake, trying to talk to me, so logged on an alt and spoke to him, he had killed it just out of NPCScan's range from me, and he'd only been there for 5 minutes.

You guys are on to something. I got mine over a year ago in October, RIGHT at 1 am. As in, I was camping over Bor's Breath, facing Valkyrion, and literally the second 12:59 became 1:00, he appeared right over the cave at the head of the lake. Needless to say, I shat bricks and claimed my prize. Also, for height, I'd say he was roughly 40-50 feet in the air. If you sit at the frozen waterfall at the top of Bor's breath, you can't miss him. Assuming he spawns in that location, of course.

The only useful piece of information in your post is:
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE YOU CAN'T SKIN THE TLPD.
A guild cannot perpetually camp an area, however if there are people in any number in the area, then its a bad time to camp the spawns. I'd recommend a low pop time, in the AM to hunt.

Bagged on Blackhand server 3/14/11 @ approx 2:07am realm time. I just got Arcturis and figured I should go check my last months bane and sit at my haunt for TLPD.
Just as I was gryphing to Frosthold - NPCSCAN went nuts telling me TLPD was up! There was nothing to do but land, get on my gryph and go hunting. Not a sole was in the zone - got lucky after 3 mins of looking - found him just rounding Bor's head.
Good luck all - I seriously spent about 35 hours sitting and waiting in Bor's Head on/off for five weeks. I can't believe how lucky I got, right after bagging a rare spirit pet.

Hai i just wanted to add, im the kind of person who farms rare elites, what i have discovered recently is that kills force others to spawn, and with the new cata rares of which i have found all but 6, Burgy Blackheart, xaronia, akma'hat, terbrous, aeonaxx, Thartuck the exiled. Yes i have found the Uldum camel. If you kill a rare elite in any cata zone it will force a spawn within 20-30 mins in a different zone, there wont be a respawn in the same zone for atleast 2 hours. ive been farming these guys for 2 weeks now so i can tell you that this is true. But this does not apply to the drake dropping rares, they are not effected by this, so TLPD and Aeonaxx. Although its a similar effect in Northrend, you kill an elite and it can force up to 3 other rare elites to spawn and as there are more the chance is higher you will get a spawn in the zone you are already inhabbiting. In the last 48 hours i have found:
Garr (Rare elite boss) killed in a group of 15
Jukulak Doom (Rare elite boss) unfortunatly i have seen him and not killed him, the alliance got there first
Sambas 3 times
Terropene once
Ghostcrawler twice
Golgarock three times
Shock shalack three times
Captian foulwind once (but unkillable by me meant he hung around) although i didnt see him killed about 2 hours after i found him i found Ghostcrawler.
Karoma once
and Tarvus the vile 3 times
(Just a note: I don't kill hunter pets, the reward is 25g i whisper hunters in the area to tell there where they are, or alert friends)
So its worth looking into this, kill 2-3 and you can see which zones you are left to find an elite, it works pretty much with NR too if you are willing to travel the distance. Attempting the achievement i found around 8 rare elites in 4 hours.
The only advantage i have above others is being a shaman, this provides me with the *glyphed* Astral Recall making my HS only 7.5 minutes + my guild level giving me a hastey hearth of 15 mins, which means i can generaly get around every 4-5 mins between portal and look quicker.
So dont camp rare elites, if there is one you want, kill or get tamed any you find on other zones, the more you find the increase in percentage of yours spawning as a rare elite cant spawn again for 6-12 hours for that individual rare elite. Decreasing the number of elites that can spawn. So instead of a 1in say 10 chance ur elite will spawn you could get as low as a 1in 3 chance.
But again i'll remind you this doesn't count with the rares that drop drakes, trust me ive tried and tried no matter how many elites i kill it will not force them to spawn.
Happy hunting. Semket of Daedalus Moonglade <3<3

Just a note for NPCScan users. Vyragosa can phase out temporarily. Seen it several times while following her. It seems NPCScan WILL find the mob even if she is temporarily out of your phase, not sure if TL is same way or not

If you're by yourself, I recommend camping the Frozen Lake spawn point, this spot covers 3 of the possible paths, and it also includes one direct spawn point. Problem is that you'll miss entirely the Brunnhildar Village spawn point. I got most of my information before camping from tlpdresource.com, the guy who makes it is obsessed (probably a understatement) over this drake and the new Cata-one as well.
Expect to see Vyragosa....ALOT. I killed Vyra either 11 or 12 times before even seeing TLPD. TLPD spawns roughly 1 out of 15 or 16 Vyras (according to some people) so it may be a while till you finally see a Golden dragon rather than the Blue guy.
NPC scan will go off 1-2 seconds before a dragon spawns. I camped the Frozen Lake spot and two different times Vyragosa spawned directly on me. NPCSCAN will go off and it takes a second or two for you to be able to see/target Vyra (i've seen him appear right in front of me). If you download NPCSCAN and NPCSCAN overlay, I recommend having your speakers up loud, turn down ambience/music, and simply go do other things around the house. Play xbox, watch tv, socialize with others, etc. It helps make it much less tedious because this camp can make A LOT of your TIME LOST.
Also most of the spawn times for Vyra (eventually TLPD) were around 8-11 hours. I remember one around 630 and another was 13ish. I know I could have missed some being only there by myself (and if a brunnhildar spawn would have happened) but thats what i remember going through. I've heard of other reports of a shortened timer since Cata, I didn't experience this though.
Expect to go moderately crazy. You may start to name trees. You may even start to have RP conversations with trees. Anything is possible when it comes to losing your mind.

I just had this spawn at 3:50 am PST on Silvermoon-US.
I was camping the spawn point at Bor's Breath - I tagged it before it managed to fly away.
I am one of the lucky ones. I had only decided to camp it when I did a /who Storm Peaks and saw no one there. I was waiting approx two hours for the spawn. Since I had only put two hours into camping this particular mob, I have no information regarding Vyragosa and her spawn time.

Just killed Vyragosa, I was camping at the frozen lake at Bor's breath when she came flying down from Ulduar, she was headed southwest... got her in Echo Isles at 6:38pm server time...hopefully I'll find Time Lost soon.. been looking for a long time. Hope this info helps.
Just killed Vyragosa again today, 9:29am server time... time between the two spawns was about 14hours and 51mins.. she was headed north this time over Bor's breath.. hope this helps.
OMG.... gnomes are soo evil. 9:15pm server time.. Time Lost Proto Drake spawns... i take a screenshot.. spawn time was 12 hours. THEN. I'm about to attack it desperately pressing my ranged attack. I see a gnome. she attacks it quarter of a second before me and gets it. I know Time Lost will spawn later on today though.. around 3:30 or earlier in the after noon. That is when it will spawn. Echo Isles.
9:25 am server time.. Vyragosa spawned heading south along Bor's Breath lake.

While camping for this, under NO circumstances should you leave your computer. Even if you have NPCscanner running. If you do leave your computer, and it does sound, you risk not seeing what direction it is flying from or to, as you will probably be frantically searching your screen for it.
If you are really hardcore about camping, set up a schedule so you can leave for a few seconds to use the restroom, eat and get a drink. But remember, even in those few seconds he can come and you may miss the chance. Not being at your computer when he comes and you missing the chance is greatly disheartening and very discouraging. And for something like this, you need all the resolve you can muster. Good luck.

After nearly a year of farming I finally got TLPD at 1:50am server time Realm: Moonrunner US. My location I have been farming was at Bor's Breath at 31/69. My suggestion to anyone that really wants this mount is STAY IN ONE SPOT! Do NOT fly around as you can miss it by seconds. Also constantly check to see who is in the area by doing /who..but make sure when you pull up /who that you delete the lvl ranges as you will only see lvls 82/85 if you fail to do so. By doing this you can network and see if any spots that were previously taken are open if that player farming that spot happens to leave. GL everyone also a good site to visit as posted previously TLPDresource.com. Also please do NOT stack on other players its a &*!@#$ Bag way of getting the mount plus u could be missing a spawn at another location that may be available.

I found the Time-Lost Proto Drake this morning at about 5:36 server time. There was nobody around, I think there was only me and one other person in the entire zone. Anyway, I tagged him and brought him down no problem BUT I couldn't loot him! He literally just spawned, I saw him, killed him. Has anyone else had this problem? I put in a ticket with the GM so hopefully they'll help.

Aegywnn server, Alliance, Hunter.
Camped for 4 weeks, and two days at 31, 69 and the peaks right by it. I use NPC Scanner, and my method was as such: I set a timer on my phone for every 20 minutes. Id come over, fly up and land back down so that it wouldn't log me off. That way you don't waste your life away camping this thing. I killed vyra 19 times. At first I didnt record the times, but eventually I did to see if there was a pattern.
These are the vyra death times, all Eastern time: 2:23 PM on a saturday. 1:21 PM, sunday. 8:52 pm monday. 3:45 pm thursday. 11:46 PM Friday. 3:34 pm saturday. 7:50 pm monday. 1:10 pm tuesday, 1:40 Am wednesday, 11:17 am same day.
Now before I kept track, I know I killed her 3 times between 12-2 am, and 4 times between 1 - 4 pm.
Ive seen skoll 6 times, tamed him the first.
As for the TLPD. Spawned at 11:47 pm directly on 31, 69, same as Vyra did earlier in the day. Im an 85, so it was like 3 or 4 shots to easily down him. It was awesome to finally get it, and to know that Im finally done camping! Good Luck everyone - Smitorpio

Alright, so after 4 days of reading through all these comments and enjoying the hunt even though i haven't seen TLPD even once or its dead body, well, camped 3 days hardcore till i hit high fever anyway killed each Vyragosa myself except for my 2nd that i missed just as i went for a stroll around the area, got time pics of the kills/dead body but im just here to share this one info, anyway, and then my 4th day till today which is the 5th, i lost track of time on when to log in or so on, till today till NPCScan went off and i had to search for Vyragosa's dead body that was pulled out of course and hoping no one would find its dead body, prolly someone with no rare finding addons who thoguht that they can hide it, anyway, and this is where something interesting is about to happen, so, i started reading on about many people saying how TLPD and Vyragosa actually does NOT share a spawning time but ONLY the routes, and started to doubt things so i logged in about 3 hours after seeing Vyragosa's dead body, so everyone claims and are sure about how the dead body of these 2 rares stays around for about 30 mins till it despawns right? well, today, something happened that made me doubt each and every theory, since the first page of these 339 comments and in forums, all i've seen is, how the two spawns 6 hours LEAST since the last kill to a 24 hours MAX, well, i got news and its, Vyragosa just today, spawned for me about almost 4 hours since i saw her dead body, this was the first time ever i saw Vyragosa spawn right in front of me in Bor's Breath right on the hill, my reaction? "WHOA...wth! now how the hell am i supposed to camp for this guy?" so...whats going on guys? i got two theories on this
1) pure random craziness that makes hardcore campers doubt thier ways for TPLD
2) this has happened before and just like my GF said "why tell and let the whole world know and gain more competition?" in short, was never mentioned in the forums or here.
3) reason im here and giving out info is to share info and also help it to benefit those crazy experienced TLPD farmers which will benefit me in the end as well + cause im enjoying reading these comments + the lil lil silly moments that happens and reminds me of kids going ....*SHHHH!...looks right and left....did ya hear that?.........* lol, yeah been having fun trying to JUST see this guy, "would be EEEEEEEEEEEEPIC"
thats all for now, and wish me luck on finding him soon, camping TLPD for my GF, i just would love to see him flying around, no interest in having him for myself, just would love to get it for my girl before her birthday X3..
thanks.

Like all of you, I camped TLPD for a long time and killing Vyragosa numerous of times during the process. Finally, my NPCscan went ballistic on the 1st of april 2011, no this is no joke! Have been camping in Bor's Breath against the mountain wall overlooking the waterfall. Nowadays it is very quiet so you do not have to fight others players when spotting TLPD.
Funny thing is that after a couple of minutes I encountered Dirkee just above Camp Tunka Lo and then also King Crush in Sholazar at the wintergrasp border. Maybe pure luck, but perhaps it has something to do with 1st of april? Don't know!
Good luck on your quest of obtaining TLPD!

woooh, got my TLPD today, so me and my GF have got ours in 9 days, my GF at 2nd of April and mine today, 10th of April,
happy and sad at the same time, was hoping to see him fly some more but was in a situation where i had to get him instantly since it was from Bor's breath, anyway...
GF's TLPD, 2nd of April, 5:55am server time, spawned from, Bor's fall.
Ally TLPD, 7th of April, around 8 to 10am in the morning, was sighted dead near the big cave with worgs and Jormungars heading towards Terrace of the Makers, was said that it spawned from the Ulduars spawn, from ally's side.
my TLPD at 10th of April, 6:45pm server time, spawned from Bor's Breath.
EDIT: TLPD was sighted by horde and taken down on the next day, 11th of April, time and location unknown.
lol, just after i got TLPD for my gf, she just farmed mad so i joined in and wanted one for myself as well, khkh, just wanna go everywhere bragging about it =p ..
and lol....he's just addictive to see, but now if i see him then its just to watch and have fun, lol would suck if no one gets him, anyway, will load up pics to my posts sometime soon for more fun to add in...once im not lazy..
btw, for this guy, be jobless for awhile, no sleep, stubborn and uwalla, you got him, =p

Killed yesterday 04/14/11 while farming herbs @ 26,56
( for those of you without cords, West part of the zone. In between Temple of Storms and Valkyrion on the dotted pathway)
He appears to fly pretty low, just hight enough to where he wont agro you if your on the ground, but my Feral Charge (Cat Form) was enough for me to jump from the ground and agro him. Keep in mind, thats only speaking for the spot i saw him. Not sure about the rest of his route. He was coming from Snowdrift Plains heading south towards Frosthold. Good luck, Hope this helps.
PS I LOVE THE MOUNT ;-)

Me thinks some children don't want to share their toys. LOL @ the mass purging of useful posts and the mass upgrading of redundant/diary entry posts .
The spawn spot coordinates still are: (31, 69 - "frozen lake") (51, 70 - "Brunn Village") (35, 76 - "waterfall") (52, 34 - "ulduar ravine".) If no one else is out there hunting look for a camp spot where most paths cross. My spot, on a quite realm, is the giant empty bird's nest west of Brunnhildar Village, your NPCscan picks up all paths and spawns of frozen lake, brunn and waterfall here, will only pick up TLPD on uld ravine path but not the actual spawn but as hardly anyone is out that way it's safe enough to stay at the nest.
My new fav strategy, as a hunter on a high pop realm that still has dedicated TLPD campers, is putting a mate out at Uld spawn spot while I camp the waterfall spawn spot. I lay all my traps on waterfall spawn spot and cast eagle eye over to Brunn (until my traps need refreshing)... 75% chance of picking up instant spawn. The reason for the traps is because in eagle eye mode, if TLPD spawns at the waterfall NPCscan won't pick it up.... but the traps flag it so when you finish Eagle eye there is a aggro'd TLPD :D (alternatively when in eagle eye if TLPD spawns at brunn it's less then a 1min flight over and most times you reach vyra/tlpd before they make it to skoll's spawn spot.) It still amazes me the number of people who hover over frozen lake, if there is a player like me lurking about with the above strategy & someone else is up on the actual frozen lake spawn spot (up the top of the cliff) you only have about a 0% chance of getting him or even knowing about a spawn.
With regards to spawners... honestly when it comes to spawners on the crème de la crème of rares I'm from the school of thought 'if you want them just live out there and camp until you get them'. On average I'm seeing a 7hr-18hr timer, but that's just my realm all realms are different (for those who want to know the quickest respawn has been 5hrs 42mins, which was once.) Some are now linking Putridus the Ancient spawn to vyra/tlpd (apparently once Putridus spawns TLPD/Vyra will spawn within 6hrs, or so it's said.) Unfortunately for me I find Putridus just gives me a heart-attack when my scanner picks him up, I've never found a connection (not saying there might not be, just saying from my experience this isn't the case.)
*grabs popcorn, sits back and watches semi useful post get purged*
P.S If you're reading this Putridus, you owe me a new heart.
UPDATE: Don't use flight paths to help you find this, CRZ is now here. So many times I have been out there on a flight path, NPCscanner has picked TLPD up and sure enough when I land CRZ kicks in (transfers me to a new realm) and no more TLPD. I know some Allies out there use their Flight paths when they're dog-out-tired of the zombie like state they get in and now and again flight path hop.... but this is now obsolete because of CRZ.

just found TLPD.
The strange thing, i found this mob not on the 'usual routes' - in Brunnhildar Village at 49,67 to be exact. He was flying north. The time he was there is around 21:55 (server's time).
Maybe this will help some hunters. Try to fly around, not just where everyone is searching.

Me and 2 other toons have been camping since Runetotem went live from a server mant.. Tuesday, there was a gap in coverage about 8 hrs after live, so there was a possible spawn that we didnt see. There are accual spawn points where Vyra/TLPD pop from - 31/69 (in the middleish area of the wavy rock plateu) - 51/71 (by middle tree under the patrol) - 52/34 (on a slanted slab of snow covered rock) - 35/76 (stand on the rock colored point). They do share a timer and paths also. There is a limit to how many rares can be up for all of Northrend, so doing a round every so often to thin out the rare population helps spawns. And after one (Vyra/TLPD) is killed you have at least 4 hours before one (Vyra/TLPS) of them will spawn again (ya know, for sleeping purposes) Here's how our camp is going
(1:30pm - server goes live on tuesday)
(6:40am - Vyra from frozen lake spawn point, Wednesday) 31/69
(4:22pm - Vyra from Brunn village spawn point, Wednesday) 51/71
(6:35am - Vyra from Brunn village spawn point, Thursday) 51/71
(3:24pm - Vyra from Ulduar ravine spawn point, Thursday) 52/34

Hey, TLPD hunters.
I found the perfect spot to camp the dragon, where you can observe all of the 4 routes at the same time.
http://www.wowhead.com/maps?data=67:382667382681391671374675
It's the spot with the giant nest on the mountain, you can fly anywhere there, and get an npc-scan alert for all the 4 routes.
I was at the western side of said mountain, and npcscan gave me an alert for the eastern route, where vyragosa flew over brunhilldar village.
Of course, you won't be able to observe most spawn points at that location (esp. not the one at 50 ; 29).
But I think it's best to be able to not miss any flying dragon on the 4 routes.
Just don't trust npcscan's 100y radius too much.
It can easily track npcs 1000y away. (I got an alert vor the flesh giant in ICC from the argent crusader tent.)

Putridus the Ancient is class Giant, hence why he can also be picked up from Dalaran occasionally. Otherwise npcscan usual range is good.

So I am patrolling the area that TLPD does and I come upon Skoll (The rare spirit beast that hunters tame), and the server is about to reset. I am on my hunter (who has already tamed him) so I am frantically looking for someone to tame him..hate to kill him as he like TLPD are neither one on the FB achievement. No luck finding anyone. The server resets..I log on as soon as it will let me...and the wolf is gone.
The point here is this.....the server resets DO not keep the information as current, as far as rare spawns. So, if you have a good working theory of when the TLPD/ Vyragosa spawn(s), I think that server resets should be counted as time=zero

Hey.
I have actually found differently that you can have 2 rare's up in Cata zones, I had Terborus and the Giant thingy (can't remember the name of it now) up at the same time in Deepholm.
This was also on Moonglade Eu while I camped Aeonaxx, Found them with the Eagle Eye spamming macro. Killed them both and about an hour and a half later Jadefang spawned.
I do agree that, like Northrend and Outlands, Cata zones have got the "kill to spawn more" thing going on but there can definatly be more than 1 up in a zone, provided they don't have a shared spawn timer of any sort.
Also, about Time-Lost / Aeonaxx not being bothered by the "Kill to spawn rule", I cannot speak totaly on the behalf of Aeonaxx as I have only camped it 1 time and never intend to do it again, but Time-Lost certainly is affected by that rule.
I just got finished with my 4th camping session (3 alts,now, and my main have it), Last Saturday I was camping with 2 accounts, I killed Griegan (after again, finding it with Eagle Eye again) moved my Main back to Brunnhildar spawn spot and not 30 seconds later Npc Scan went off, Time-Lost spawned litraly right ontop of my main ,Insta aggro, moved my alt over from the Froszen Lake spawn spot and killed it. It could be a coincident but I definatly think not considering I have been forcing Vyragosa spawns for weeks.
Skoll was killed (by me, 3am in the morning, No Hunters there to claim it.) Vyragosa spawned not a minute later from the Frozen Lake spawn spot.
Considering Vyragosa can be "forced" to spawn, Time-Lost obviously works the same since he is basically a rare spawn of Vyragosa.
1 more thing ( I actually hate picking things apart so I appologise but also I can't leave it knowing I know something different).
The 6-12hour respawn thing has very much changed in Cataclysm. Most noteably in Northrend, rare's are now respawning in no time (not litraly but well..).
I have personally witnessed 2 Vyragosa's 2 hours and 45 mins apart. There has been an extreme report of Time-Lost's death and Vyragosa spawning 45 mins later. This info has been posted on Ponderance's TLPD / Aeonaxx dedicaited forum board. (
http://board.tlpdresource.com/
).
If you havn't looked at that site before, I recomend you do, amazing site, a good list of Facts / Falshoods and just generaly everything you could want when hunting TLPD / Aeonaxx.
Cya's.

I got the Aeonaxx drake on Thursday after camping for 9 days. Decided to try and get the TLPD.
At 23:06 - I killed Dirkee
At 23:22 - Found Varygosa's corpse doing a routine circle to check for spawns.
At 23:43 - I killed Skoll
Now I'm hoping TLPD spawns soon as that's 3/4 zoned rares killed within an hour?

So i was looking for TLPD and Skoll for a while and i noticed the path of TLPD changed ( because it was fyling close to or on top of the skoll spawn point). But then i fly around again and its nowhere near the Skoll spawn point. I was wondering if this means he spawned and i missed him or what?

May 1st, Burning Legion.
Just a little note about the spawn time, the TLPD was killed on our server right around 12:30 am last night. I got to see the corpse for proof. At exactly 3:28 pm the next afternoon, Vryagosa spawned right in front of me. 15 hours between the two almost to the minute. I'm just starting to farm this mount, I'll keep udating.

Here's something of utmost importance when camping for the mount relying on NPC-Scan:
Have your WoW window maximized!
I had mine minimized not 15 minutes ago while having Firefox up instead, I decide to take a little trip about the flightpaths and as soon as the window is up the NPC-Scan alert goes off, I jump up in my char and press my target macro button in a frenzied fashion only to find it dead on the ground not far from me. It had been dead for some time already, so why didn't I hear the alert go off while I was reading about the death of Bin Laden? It must have been because the window was minimzed, I can think of no other reason why that would happen.
Have your WoW
maximized
- when you minimize a window, that application gets paused or in the least put on some sort of hold, and can violently defile you in the rear as it just now did with me.
So has anyone else experienced this?

Dunno if it's any good info at this point anymore, but here's my (very!) lucky kill info:
Server: Draka
Time Zone: Central
Kill Time: 0003 hours, 04 May 2011
Location: Spawn point over Bor's Breath (29, 66)
Something that I also don't know has been mentioned or not, but NPC Scan does not automatically have the TLPD data in it anymore! Same thing for any other critter not a part of the "Frostbitten" or other kill achieves. (Like Arcturis, as I found out two days ago.) You have to add their numbers manually. The TLPD number for NPC Scan is 32491, and I'm not sure if you have to re-add it every so often or not; be diligent and check frequently, because I very nearly missed my kill.
I use two monitors, and I figured that I might as well camp the TLPD that day, because I had a LOT of "spring cleaning" to do on my system, and that my character should sit on her arse as well. Eight hours later, I just happened to glance over (I was THIS close to logging off and going to bed, too!), and saw the TLPD flap under me. No NPC Scan trigger. Had I not looked over at that very moment, I'd have missed it. Lucky, LUCKY. Thank the Light for excellent peripheral vision!
I wish everyone else going for this lovely beast nothing but luck and patience, because you WILL go slowly mad, as attested by everyone else who was fortunate to get the kill.

Wow, over 120 (nearly continuous) hours out in Storm Peaks and no TLPD sightings. Lots of Vyragosa, Dirkee, and Skoll kills. I guess the up-side is that there is no one out there throughout most of the day.
I guess only a matter of "time" I guess... Come on lady luck!

This drake is very nice actually... i was there at around 22:00 and had just completed a raid where i got around 3 pieces. So i thout "jesus, im having luck right now... wonder if i have a chance to get the "time-lost proto drake... OFC i can!" so i flied to Storm peaks (at around Bor's Breath) at around 40 yards in the air. I was like "hmm... i will probably be here for a while... ill get a drink before getting started" so i went for a glass of milk and when i came back... quess what attacked me? The Drake! i flied down and nuked it. and just like that i got the rare super cool mount :D good luck to every1 else :D

So I stayed up all night, literally all night 5/8/11 to no luck with npcscan, then 5/9/11 stayed up until 11:49PM Server Time (Twisting Nether), TLPD spawned right at the frozen lake in Bor's Breath. Killed Vyragosa at 8:45AM Server Time that morning with no other sightings of Vyra all day. Killed Vyra 2 times the day before at 7:30AM ST and 8:30PM ST . Surprisingly easy story, 2 days of literally sitting in the same spot, might do it again on a few of my alts. Good Luck every1!

Need Help!
I have seen TLPD 3 times.....Vyragosa about 10+ times.....
And as a Rogue, I have YET to be able to figure out how to TAG them from the air, NOT die, and then get the kill. In every case, I have pulled aggro, but could not get them to follow me (I've tried slowly going down, flying to a platform, etc). I always either (a) lose aggro, or (b) dismount and die from the fall.
I've tried Throwing - can't so that while mounted.
I've dismounted and tried Throwing - can't do that while moving.
Then I die.
Then someone else comes in and get the kill.
What am I missing here?

Remember guys, you CANNOT give up if you truly want him!
I camped for over a year and started camping hard a couple of weeks ago, 4 hour sleep periods to get every single Vyragosa kill.
I killed over 40 Vyra's in total, which I wrote down in a log. 80% were Frozen Lake Spawns, 10% Waterfall, and the last 10% were Brunnhildar.
But today was my lucky day(Finally!) the Time-Lost Proto Drake came flying to me when I was camping at Frozen Lake,
from the Waterfall at 17:40PM!

I started camping for it almost a month ago on a casual schedule, being at Bor's Breath for the majority of the time and flying around the spawn points at Bor's Fall and near the frozen lake. My usual playing times were from 6pm to 2am server time. I saw 4 Vyragosas, three of them at 2am. I saw one TLPD at 6pm, and it had died a few mins before. After almost giving up of the repeated patterns, I logged in appearing at K3 at exactly 6pm yesterday and NPCscan went off, and the spawn was flying right above, in a counterclockwise circle heading eventually toward Brunnhildar Village. I tagged it and headed toward Garm and killed him there. All the spawns I saw were around 6pm, 2am and 10am...suggesting and supporting the 8hr random pattern. Good luck and keep on hunting.

Roughly 19:40pm 13/5/11. Friday the 13th. Just Flying back from Howling Fjord and Go through Zul-Drak. Stopped off for a tad of archaeology and NPC scan went off. Killed a rare. *Happy face*. Spotted a paladin on a Time-lost Proto and asked how long ago he got it. he told me roughly a week ago. I thought hm... Thats abit odd. Then something told me to go to Storm peaks in my head. I went to stormpeaks did my dailey for polar bear and did an archae patch again. I continued to past Bor's Breath. I was on my way back to the argent tournemant and Thought Hm.. Alot of people see this drake near Bor's Breath. So i continued my way along the patch i orginially WASNT going to take. Then all of a sudden. BAM! (NPC SCAN - Time-lost Proto-drake.) My heart when APE. he was RIGHT below me! I targeted and got him to a ledge and instantly Fan of Knived him. Tagged. Down he went in 1 more shot and Looted the drake. Went Mental. Amen. Goodluck hunting! Its an amazing experience when that NPC scan goes off! Goodluck!
PS. I'm not sure how to Upload a picture to show the death since i only joined just now to show how happy i was about mount xD Goodluck!

Wouldn't you know it being Friday the 13th and all.. and Ive been camping for this mount for over 2 months now and today I was bored so Thought I would go up and camp. Sit for about 20 mins and walked out to talk to my parents.. came back in and NPC scan says time lost drake.. flew around.. and there was a damn druid killed him. It sucks farming for this guy.. but to only be a few seconds off of getting him sucks even more :/ so remember if your camping never leave the comp while camping! I learnt hard way :(

Most likely if your time it correctly you'll have him dead before you hit the ground.

After my sad miss at it on 5/16/2011 I decided to make a real go at Time-Lost..
The last killed before I got mine was 11:00pm-EST 5/16/2011, I saw the actual killed occur
As mention in a previous post about spawn time, I was wrong about the spawn point and off about 2 minutes on spawn time.. I got some good information on checking if the server has seen the mob and I went to the actually spawn area.
There was a server restart @ 8:30am EST.
I was standing @ 35 76, I actually saw Time-Lost spawn. Spawn time was 3:31pm.

I am sure that no other spawn happen for the TLPD, I did a few checks to see if any kills was made on the server, since I fell asleep between 11am-EST and 2:pm-EST, also there was another I left camping another spawn area..
@ wreave--I think you maybe correct, in my excitement to see TLPD I may have miss or miss click and hit another mob, so keep calm, you have about 1-2 minutes to to tag it, if you are at the spawn area and actually see the spawn, before anybody else showing up.
Good Luck.. Time for me to finish Frostbitten

I highly advise binding this item to an actual key or macro instead of a mouse-click. When I got my kill, I very nearly didn't because I missed my parachute cloak button by mere pixels, and left a rather misshapen hole in the snowbank at 10% of my health while the drake flew in to rip me a new one.
Also, as Rogue, just in case, I recommend that you minor-glyph for Safe Fall, as that right there was the reason that I didn't leave a red stain on the landscape instead of a golden proto-drake corpse.
Edit: Errr, "this item" being the Snowfall Lager, and this reply referring to some commentary a few posts back. I fail at proper reply functions today.

I started my hunt for this guy in mid-may and finally got him about three weeks later. A word of advice, don't go into this unless you have some time to burn. TLPD is a full time commitment, especially if you only have one toon to cover his four spawn points.
I used tlpdresource.com as my main source of information, and if it had not been for that site I probably would have gone mad. Before I read up on all the information posted there I was just a sad wandering Hunter flying in circles hoping to get lucky. In the end I was a battle hardened veteran, lying patiently in wait for what I knew would come...though I still went a little mad by the end.
There is plenty of information you should look at on the site, but the most important is that there are four confirmed spawn points for the TLPD - Just South of the Frozen Lake, on the hill to the East of Brunnhildar Village, on the cliffside West of the Frozen Waterfall, And way up North on the Ulduar Ravine cliffside (which is where I finally found him.)
My hunt for him went considerably easier when three buddies of mine loaned me their account info to help speed things up. I opened up four versions of WoW, downloaded NPCscan and afkcam, set the
飘雪窖藏啤酒
to a easy to access hotkey, and set an alarm to go off every 28 minutes. NPCscan is an obvious addon for this hunt, but I also found that afkcam was invaluable in letting me know when I was afk without having to be close to my computer. The alarm was set so that I made sure to clear afk's on all four character before they were auto-logged out after 30 minutes.
In addition to sitting around waiting for the proto drake, I would frequently take another character around Northrend and kill/tame any rares I could find. I found that this *greatly* increased the respawn time of Vyragosa - though I had nearly completed all the requirements for the
霜害
achievement and had helped 8 rare pets find homes before I got the drake. My final tally was 60 rares spotted (8 tamed, 52 killed) 22 of those kills were Vyragosa, and that final 60th kill was the TLPD.
It could have just been my server, but I found that many other people I encountered would try and throw me off the scent by providing obviously false information. Be careful of people telling you that they just killed Vyragosa or the Proto drake. For Vyragosa it's a bit harder to know for sure since she can be skinned, but TLPD cannot, so anyone claiming to have done so is trying to throw you off the trail. Others may also try to take your spot by climbing on an alt or enlisting a buddy that has the proto drake and claiming they killed him elsewhere, lead you far away from your camp, then quickly hop on their main to take your now vacant spawn point. Just be careful, sometimes you just need to make a judgement call on how trustworthy your source is. In my opinion the wow armory should list if the reins are obtained under the activity feed for a player's armory page.
Be careful not to kill the drake over cliffs, or else he might land on a surface that you can't land on, causing some frustration in trying to loot him. Lastly, don't freak out when he does spawn. If you're using other accounts make sure you're in a group, and not to kill him if you're main is out of range to share the loot roll.
In full disclosure, I freaked out big time when he spawned, I shakily flew my main up to the Ulduar Ravine spawn point from Frozen Lake and killed him directly over the vertical cliff face. I was so eager to loot the drake that I figured I'd speed up my descent by landing in the water far below the cliff. I clicked off the slow fall buff from the lager, fell....fell....and splat, realizing all too late that there is no water below the ravine, just unforgiving sharp and pointy rocks. I sheepishly (but still very eagerly) recovered my body, flew up to the cliff, and spent another five minutes trying to loot the bastard before ultimately getting the loot at the cost of falling down the ravine again. Keeping it in perspective though, a small repair bill is not much to trade for the mount.
Below I've listed all the times that I killed Vyragosa and my TLPD kill. Hope this helps somehow. These are not all back to back, since I *did* need to find some sleep in there somewhere.

NO WAI.!
You guys have no idea how lucky i am. I leveled up alt few months later and at the same spot i got another TLPD! I know how you feel sault in wounds but yes - totally worth of waiting. I was at the 31.66 Storm Peaks once again.

Some guildmates and I were out farming LK heroic achievements for the red proto meta (which I completed only a half hour earlier) and were just coming out of HoL/S and were headed south to Gundrak when NPCScan went off. It tagged the TLPD just southeast of Ulduar, right where the pins are on the map above. We had to let him path around to a point close enough to the ground. We grabbed him at roughly 1 am server time this morning.
Having spent a great deal of time searching for it during LK, this was certainly a welcome surprise. I won the mount which put me at 90/100 towards Mountain O' Mounts
GL and happy hunting to everyone

Instead of using a macro like that, and losing him; use NPCscan /SilverDragon addon. A window will pop up when he spawns and if u click the window u will target the drake. The window can popup even if u are out of range to target.

Also my last kill of vyragosa was a lil over an hour ago 12.23 am exact and killed her right where it spawned 31.5, 70.0 on top of the mountain (frozen lake area) so if TLPD does spawn is it able to spawn where i kille vyragosa or doesnt spawn where it last spawn?

I got my Drake about an hour ago (10:30PM EST, Arthas). I had only been in Storm Peaks for 2 hours. I was doing a quest in Bor's Breath and my NPCScan starting going crazy, then I started going crazy. Managed to fly into him and bring him down on the second tier of Bor's Fall. Killed him, looted him, got my prize. Later (about 20 minutes) I ran into a guy who was camping the route on the other side of the peak where I killed the Drake. He said he'd been in that spot for 2 weeks. I felt really really bad.
Edit: I never expected to ever ever ever see, let alone kill, the Drake. I wasn't even looking for him. I just got extremely lucky. For everyone else hunting, good luck.

Here is a little insight because ALOT of people think Rare Spawns restart at Realm restarts this is not true. At realm restart the NPC's are counted as killed this goes for all of them. It prevents guilds and people hording mobs which in return would make it completely unfair for other people. So when camping for him please take this into account that atleast 4-6 hours before a 10% chance of Time-Lost over Vyra will spawn after restart. Another tip is considered hot spots and flight directions at 42-57 you can see and tag TLPD from all directions on considered flight paths (N,E,& SE he will be flying towards you) and because of his flight speed you can check 200 yards in any direction before leaving and flying to other hot spots (32.5-65.5 & 37.5-75 coming from both directions) and back without missing him. Another thing you really do not need some slow fall lagger to get him if you tag aggro and sights on him and lure him to the ground it will be your kill as long as you tagged aggro and targeted first.

Thade here,...9 days now I've been camped out on the small frozen lake in the Bor's Breath Canyon area. I've seen others come and go spamming their Macros and Do Dads flying in circles like idiots talking about this flight path or that one. Being a Rouge is a lonely life,..you go,..I'll stay here on this Lake of ice. Patience is the word of the day when your hunting Dragons. It's 2:OO am. Cold and tired...trying not to sleep,...tucked under the wing of Sampson my Cat-Bird for warmth. Good old Sammy,...does he know we're here to replace him? Does he care? I think so. ...so cold now.....waiting .....zzzzzzzzzzz...no NO,...must stay on the hunt. "hold out man!"' that's what he said. "Stand fast and hold out and he will come!". That's what my little gnome friend Ragnaroc told me. "just sit,...and wait, you can do it."
3:05 am,......my poison is drying up in the cold,...must re-apply,..have to be ready for anything.
Hard to do with frozen hands. waiting now,....a murmur,....a growl from Sampson,..what is it boy? There to the North,....Before the Ice Falls over the first big dead oak tree on the right. Time Lost Proto Drake spawned at 3:11 am Thursday the 2nd of June 2011. I jumped on Ol' Sammy and targeted the Drake. He turned East and headed down the Rohemdal Pass toward Icecrown and the Snowblind Hills. He's huge and as fast as he is beautiful. No time for a ground shot so I sunk spur and was on the hunt. Sammy loves the hunt and was ready,...we passed the Drake quickly and saw a flat cliff on the right with 5 small trees and one big dead oak. That's it land and take a shot before he's out of range! Damn Frostfeather Witch was hovering pecking on my back,..but I have to keep my focus now,...one chance,..one shot,...so many others looking for him I had to move fast. I hurrled my steel with all the might my cold tired bones could muster and hit him just under the right wing,..he turned and came at me. It was on,....no way to get another shot off with this witch on my back but who cares,..bigger fish to fry. He landed on the ledge facing me. Three hacks to the brisket and one to the Jugular and it's done. Now for the Witch,..take that! And that and one of these! As she lay twiching on the bloody snow I took in the awesome sight of my new Dragon mount. The haters are starting to hover in disgust and jealousy now. Why the hate? I would cheer if they had hit paydirt. Oh well,..Thade of Stone has his Dragon 3:11 am Thursday morning June 2nd of 2011.
Good Hunting All,....Odin be praised! Long live World of Warcraft! Long live Thade!

"On saturday, my server-query macro found the TLPD item-link when I logged in, so I assume it was killed sometime on Saturday."
This seems like a very useful ability. Anyone know how to query the server's loot drops? This would allow us still seeking the TLPD to see if/when it's spawn.
Thanks a bunch.

Found and killed on Dunemaul server at 7:44pm. No other players in the area, flew close enough to be targeted by TLPD then flew to the ground. Easy enough kill, awesome mount. Only had to camp TLPD for one day before finding it flying around near Engine of makers.

Finally, after 2 and a half years of farming, I found this guy alive and untagged, flying down to Bor's breath lake along the Ulduar path.
NPCScan flashed up just as I was looping the Ulduar path, near the corner at snowdrift plains, and I thought "Oh good lord, I've found Vyrago.....TIME-LOST!"
When I clicked the target button, and saw that he was alive and untagged, I kinda went nuts! Luckily I was in the correct spec, and had my parachute cloak equipped and on my bars.
I flew at him, stuck Outbreak on him, smacked him with Festering Strike and used my 'chute to land safely. Another hit from Scourge Strike and he died! I was relieved and losing my head in a completely necessary spat of panic and joy.

WOW after 2 weeks, 1 full week 24/7 camping and the other week off and on camping i got him. I couldn't sleep anymore so i just woke up literally 20 mins ago made breakfast and logged on and I was parked at te spawn point by the frozen lake so i decided to just got around on patrol fast since nobody was around, as soon as i flew into the village npc went offf i was like meh prob dead already i click on it and was alive i was OMG not tagged so i was going crazy looking around i flew more ahead but the target disappeared so i was okay I flew to far away came back and spotted him at top where he spawns at top on the mountain at the village. So I decided to lure him closer to the cliff and used snowfall and then 2 shot it, kill it before i even landed on ground. But yes for those who lost hope of is about to don't because I almost did as well and look it paid off, so good luck to those ppl who are dedicated campers. FYI I just tlpd 15 mins ago so I decided to come post it here kill was at 3:07 am ST.

Holy &*!@, just one half a day of camping(for me) with a friend of mine on two spawnspot.
I was checking a youtube movie in fullscreen mode, with the volume + when I almost fell of my chair when this guy started attacking me.
I couln't believe it, and I was shaking so heavily...
I was standing at the spawnpoint in Brunnhildar Village when he popped up.
He spawned at these coords: 51,71.
This is the screenshot I made
http://imgur.com/zISBT
Edit: My friend killed Vyragosa this morning at 7:30 am, She didn't spawn the next 6-8 hours.
I already said that was weird so we beared in mind of the possibility that the TLPD could show up wich he did at 7:30 pm. so there was a gap of 12 hours in between.

Just found him, purely on accident. I was on my lvl 69 hunter, flying around and picking up the FP closer to Dal. Was on my way to K3 when the NPC Scan went off. I freaked and immediately jumped on my lvl 85. Had to fly around for a few minutes before I found him, by Bor's Breath. Kited him to a ledge and killed him quick. Azshara server, roughly 3:15am. It probably helped that no one else was in the area at the time.

Persistence pays off. After a long time, and a couple of near misses, I finally was able to down this drake. I had seen the TLPD yesterday, close to Skoll's spawn point in the Snowdrift Plains, but someone had already gotten him. Fast forward to today, Arygos server, 4:53am, I couldn't sleep, so I got up and was checking out the Bruins victory (not really a hockey fan, though). Logged into the game and hearthed to Dalaran. After I logged in the game, I remembered I had forgotten to clear the cache for NPC scan from the sighting yesterday, so I exited the game and then logged back in. Flying from Dalaran, I entered the Storm Peaks and did a quick check of Bor's Breath. See nothing there, I did a clockwise circle from the Frozen Lake, killed Skoll at the Snowdrift Plains (again), up to Uludar, Machine of the Makers, Brunnhildar Village, and then on the K3. Coming down the mountain from the village, NPCScan alerts and there he is, flying counter clockwise coming from K3, alive and not tagged, but not for long. Easy fight and rest is history. He's a gorgeous mount. Good luck to everyone who wants to get this drake.

I got him this morning 6.22AM. I was camping on frozen lake when NPC Scan alarmed.
After short flight, got aggro and landed. And now the noob part...
For some mindless reason I was going to use Steady Shot to kill it. Too bad that I got my pet on defense and it killed TLPD like in 2 sec and I couldn't loot it.
Tbh I had some troubles to be positive on that moment and almost broke my keyboard.
I've camping for days and cause my nobish all I got was nothing.
I made a ticket and logged in 4.20PM. Killed Skoll and 5 minutes later Vyragosa (10 hours after TLPD kill)
Good news are that GM contacted me and I got my mount on mailbox. Yes, I'm very happy now,
no more Storm Peaks camping for me.
Good luck for all of you who are going to get this imo coolest mount in the game.

this is all i know. TLPD and Vyragosa share everything in common besides a mount (duh). Dirkee does not alter anything.
the official spawn times are non existant either 6-11 or 12-22 hours before one spawns
TLPD will only spawn on one server per realm at a time
Server restarts do not alter the spawn time of the drakes. and TLPD's corps will disapear within 30 minutes of the kill.
TlPD or Vyragosa will only spawn on multiples of five on the SERVER clock so it will never spawn at 12:57 for example, only at 12:20 or 12:25. after 15 minuts of not being killed it will despawn.
I have hunted this beast for 6 months now (3 if you count week on week off) i have seen vyragosa's corpse 3 times and downed him four. never seen TLPD in any state (alive and flying, dead, or about to die) i am on the server Mok'Natal. hit me up if you need help.

As other have already said here, if you really want this beautiful thing in your possession:
DO NOT
give up!
I was asleep when something woke me up at 3:28 on the Draenor-EU server. It was the NPC scan alert who went off with a volume high enough to wake even the deepest sleeper. I jump up, turn on the TV and there he is, spawned right by me at the frozen lake.
This was 5 months after starting the hunt, 3 sightings and lots of Vyragosa kills. Several times i contemplated giving it up, especially the time when someone got to him a split-second before I was in range to fire. After nearly loosing my sanity, I somehow recovered and kept to it.. with success!
My point of this post is, the
feeling
I got when seeing him dead, when seeing the item in my bag before using it, and seeing myself on the drake for the first time after numberless hours of relentless farming.. you want to experience that
feeling
, trust me. It's an intensely uplifting feeling of relief, it feels like the biggest load has been taken off your shoulders, and all is bliss.
You too can have this feeling, as long as you
never ever
give up! :D

I have been searching quite a long time for the TLPD. Sat.5/18 early since I work 3rd shift,I was once again camping this beast.
The Blue Drake spawned near the harpies as I was at my fridge for a beer lol.
A bit dissapointed but still killed it.
About 2 mins later some one in Gen. chat for the area told the rest of us there to give up cause he just found it yet he wouldnt say WHERE he found the drake.Im on Azgalor.
He said give up for 2 days.Wow talk abt a slow respawn time if thats true.
But Im not giving up.I WILL have that mount. lol

I normally get frustrated by posts such as the one I am about to make, but I was flying through Storm Peaks today and I was actually looking for Skoll but as I was flying over Brunnhildar Village out of the blue my npcscan went off and my very first thought was, "Oh cool Skoll is up" however when I looked at the button that popped up and the mob that was circling around I realize that it was in fact TLPD. I pretty much started freaking out because I had thought about camping him but figured there was still too many people that wanted him and I figured I'd never get lucky enough so I had no intentions of looking for him. So at first as I was flying over Brunnhildar I knew I couldn't just tag him mid-air cause I would likely fall and die so I start looking which direction he was flying and I flew to the closest cliff side where I could safely land and tag him. It's probably in my top 5 coolest moments in WoW since I started playing back in Vanilla. To all those still searching, he's out there so don't give up.

Bor's Breath:
- 1:05am - Vyra Killed
- 4:25pm - Vyra Killed

Just killed it at 1:18PM realm time on Emerald Dream (CST), he spawned on top of the frozen waterfall at 37.74
Took about 6 days of AFKing on a spot with the NPCScan addon when I had free time.
So, that's my tip, check for his spawn points on google and AFK at that spot while doing something else with NPCSCan.
Dropped the mount, the bag (which had like 20G and 20 Frostweave Cloth) and Time-Forward Talisman of the Marksman.
And as far as how high he is in the air, from Bor's Fall looking into Bor's Breath, on the left you see 2 towers, the thin one first platform on the bottom is about right.
I used this map also:

I'm sorry but your wrong on a few points here.
Lets start with this -
"Tlpd will only spawn on one server per realm at a time". Now I ask, how can you know this? The spawn timers are realm specific and has to do with how fast other rares are killed. I could go into detail about how killing 1 rare can force another to spawn, there i no need for it though. It has been proved by people, including myself, I camped TLPD 5 times and each time I would use an alt to fly around Northrend killing other rares, Vyragosa would spawn more often when I did this, and on a few occasions Vyragosa spawned seconds after looting the rare I killed.
"TlPD or Vyragosa will only spawn on multiples of five on the SERVER clock so it will never spawn at 12:57 for example, only at 12:20 or 12:25. after 15 minuts of not being killed it will despawn." - I'm sorry but this is also wrong.
I have had Time-Lost and Vyragosa spawn at different times, looking over screenshots I have (if you want me to add as proof, just say so), My most recent kill, I was sitting on the Frozen Lake spawn point, Time-Lost was deteced at 14:40 and it had spawned at the Frozen Waterfall, it reached me at 14:40, it usually takes 1min - 1 and a half minutes to get to Bor's Breath from the Waterfall, thus proving that it spawned before at a time that was not a multiple of 5. I have seen Vyra and Time-Lost both spawning at minutes that are not multiples of 5.
Also, no, neither of the 2 will despawn. I have watched both TLPD and Vyragosa fly around for 50+ mins on the Ptr, on Live I know Time-Lost was alive for 20 mins when I was afk (dead of night, around 2am server time it spawned at I outside having a smoke, made a coffee and buggered around away from the screen, came back and my time stamps showed about 19 mins since It was detected, found it about a min later. It was on the Ulduar Route, met it on the Snowdrift Planes.) Granted, that was stupidly lucky nobody esle was about.
If you would like more information, go to tlpdresource.com All the info you ever need is there.

Found mine today after 7 days of farming. I couldn't sleep so I logged onto WoW at about 4:48am. I was flying around the Engine of the Makers and approached the group of Blue Proto Drakes. When I got closer, NPCScan popped up and I saw the unmistakable Time-Lost Proto Drake right ahead of me. I downed him easily - he only has about 18k health, so he is easy to solo - and got the mount (which I am now using, by the way!). He was flying in, toward the Blue Protos and me from the South East, so I believe he had just flown through Brunnhildar Village. This would mean he was taking the yellow route on this
flight path
. Unfortunately, since I had just logged in, I have no idea at what time he spawned. Sorry!
As for Vyragosa, I killed her at about 3:30pm the day before (so roughly 13 hours and 20 minutes prior).
Such a gorgeous mount, and has great animations. Good luck finding your TLPD! Remember, patience is a virtue. :)

First things first, rare mobs can be forced to spawn by killing other rare mobs. Studies show that rare mobs will spawn faster if you have a team of people killing all of the mobs across Northrend or Outland.
Only a few rares can be up at once in Northrend or Outland. For that matter, it is impossible for all of the rares of a continent to be up at once. They spawn when you kill another rare mob. The killing of one mob triggers the spawn of another. This is pure fact, not theoretical fiction.
I was intrigued by this information posted a year ago by someone, so i decided to attempt to prove it.
And i did.
First thing, me and a buddy decided that while i was camping TLPD (i am a mount collector, and he had it already), he would run around killing all of the rare mobs in the area. I camped for hours but eventually wanted to help him kill mobs. The first results we came across were in Howling Fjord. We checked every place for rares to spawn, but no luck. We finally came across Seething Hate in Grizzly Hills and killed it. Soon after, we went BACK to Howling Fjord, and what do you know? Perobas the Bloodthirster was up. We downed him, and decided that this was worth looking into. Not only that, but we killed Vigdis the War Maiden a minute later.
Both rares had not spawned 30 minutes earlier, but with killing other rares, they had been FORCED to spawn.
Now, this single piece of evidence was not quite enough, for it could just be a coincidence. So we went to Dragonblight and found Scarlet Highlord Daion (in a spot that i had passed over an hour before on my way to Grizzly Hills). Soon, we went around to Zul'Drak and i decided to pick up some archaeology stuff in Howling Fjord because i was bored.... and i found Perobas again. The same rare mob in an hour of its own spawn. This was startling news for me.
For the rest of the day, we killed over 10 rares, including two Skolls, and three Zul'Drak sentinals. I was most interested in this, because i couldn't believe that something as easy as this hadn't really been proven.
More evidence:
While farming TLPD, i decided to let my buddy kill rares on his own in the attempt to be in TLPD's zone when he spawned (if he were forced). Instead, my buddy reported a kill of Griegan and at that second, NPC went off with Vyragosa, who had spawned literally on top of me.
After this bit of evidence, i now believe in forcing spawns. I really suggest you pay someone or get guildies to do this for you and sit on TLPD's spawn points while they kill more and more.
If anyone else finds evidence of this, i would be glad to know that similar results have been found.
Hope this helps :)
P.S.- still haven't gotten TLPD

So, since the beginning of WotLK, I had searched for this mount until I thought I would go insane; and I finally got it. 9:30 PM on the Medivh server.
Info Time:
- Coordinates seen: 34, 36
- Coordinates killed: 31, 38
- Direction: Southwest toward the Snowdrift Planes
- Height: About the height of the roof of the Temple of Wisdom
Note:
I believe it is possible to force the spawn on the drake, or at least the spawn of other rares. I went from Borean Tundra -> Dragonblight -> Zul'Drak -> Grizzly Hills -> Storm Peaks. In all I killed about 5 rares. Another thing to think about (purely speculation) is that since he was so close to Ulduar at the time, it would be no big jump to assume that he spawned at the "Ulduar Spawn".
As a final note, I would suggest that you stay calm, be patient, and don't get angry at slow spawns.

Ive found this bad boy dead about 5 times and i can confirm 3 things.. (I have tested the 10 hour thing to confirm)
1. He spawns 10 Hours AFTER the same time the last rare (Vyra/TLPD) Spawned.
2. If you find Vyra Dead, you WILL NOT Find him/vyra again for another 10 hours, THEY SPAWN ON THE DOT OF THE HOUR.
3. They share the same Spawn Points, and paths.

TLPD taken at Frozen Lake, July 2, at 4:30 PM. Server: Smolderthorn. One week of camping for 16 hours a day, lol. It does not always spawn after 10 hours, nor at the top of the hour as the previous poster stated. I killed Vyra 5 hour before, and I have found it dead 2 hours after killing Vyra in the past.
Good luck!

After about a week of camping, sitting right above the Maker's Engine, I logged into my hunter this morning at about 11am and got an immediate hit with npc_Scan. I found that at 85 it was a little difficult to aggro him, so I ended up chasing him around the Storm Peaks. I finally got him to aggro around the Snowdrift Plains.

So, I wanted to share a piece of advice. I have been checking for the Time-Lost every day, twice a day, for at least the past year and a half. I've missed maybe 2 weeks worth of days; I flew the path two times every time I checked. I had never saw TLPD until about 30 minutes ago. I had done my check, got my jormunger eggs and decided to fly from K3 back to the tourney grounds where I could get a quick break. It was a mistake, if you are going from Storm Peaks back to the Tourney, just fly there.
As soon as I got on the flight path, he flew into view. I had a heart attack. It took around 2 minutes to get to the Tourney Grounds and I figured I was screwed for sure. When I get back to where he was, it took me a few minutes to find him again; he was still alive. Still panicked, I tossed out a Flame Shock to tag him and fell to my death... Luckily my reincarnation was still up so I used it and then realized that, being he is an aggressive mob, I just had to fly into him to pull him to the ground. I got him to the ground and got my mount, but my heart is still beating a mile a minute.

If you ever have deleted or didn't have Time-Lost Proto Dake added you can add it again by going in to the settings on npcscan (/Npcscan) And then type Name: Time-Lost Proto Drake World: Northrend. ID: 32491

Gives me a heartattack when I'm quietly waiting for the Time-Lost Proto Drake and Vyragosa's alert blares in my ears. o3o Have been camping diligently the past 2 days (I've camped TLPD off and on for several years but only recently got serious about it.) I've seen Dirkee and Skoll (killed Dirkee last night about 2 am, found Skoll about the same time already dead) and Vyragosa dead twice (once about 3 am today and another about 10 minutes go - 3 pm). No luck with the Proto Drake but these posts renew my hope. ^_^ b

does phasing have anything to do with being able to see and/or kill the drakes ?

After camping for several restless nights with no luck, i decided to head back to storm peaks one day and my npc scan went off right as I flew towards Bor's Breath. Very easy to kill being that I was 85. Dropped the mount of course and that was the end of my mount camping :D.
spawn time from what i saw is 8+ hours and follows already posted flight routes.
roughly the altitude of Bor's Breath

Just now got this mount on Stormreaver, at 8:15pm - after camping it on and off since the beginning of wrath. Insanely happy to finally get this, hooray for patience :|
He spawned right at Bor's Breath on the frozen lake - right on top of the mountain.

Seen TLPD 1 h ago in the Maker's Terrace, I was in Bor's Breath and I fly directly. 2 people in storm peaks a lvl 78 and me. No luck, the other was just in the site casually. F*¨´k.
Times i've recorded after this:

Vyragosa dead 2 ukn
Vyragosa: 17/07 @ 3:30
Vyragosa:17/07 @ 17:00
TLPD: 18/7 @ 1:30
I have to continue searching ¬¬. I wish to update this with more data and catch TLPD...

Popped on waterfall, _Npcscan went off, was camping on lake. Went down to aggro, a damn gnome warlock got to it before me, hearthed out afterwards. Corpse still there. How I hate alliance players and their ksing asses. Ugh.
Basically, for the next week or so, I'm going to be killing vyra. And that's it. Either because an alliance will repeatedly ks me, or because it just won't spawn. Wish you all luck. Anyway, prepare to waste weeks doing nothing but camping.
Edit: I'm nearing the two week mark for my camping. Every Vyra spawn I've seen for the past four or five times were from waterfall. I'm starting to think I should camp there instead of Frozen Lake. Haven't seen Time Lost a second time. Staying up later then before, but sleeping in. I keep coming back here to see if there has been any new kills.
On a somewhat-different note, everyone who I was camping with before doesn't camp with me now. I see new horde and alliance campers fly by everyday, but less and less from before are logging on. I'm starting to get bored with my xbox games. No one to talk to, nothing to do. But I keep thinking that if I stop now, it will spawn as soon as I leave. :l I'll post again Wednesday, because that's when I saw TLPD last, and it's the two week mark.
Edit#2: I couldn't get on yesterday, unfortunately. I don't know when the last time Vyra or TLPD kill was. Wouldn't surprise me if I missed it.

From the Journal of Korgom, Warrior of the 2nd Orcish legion, Boulderfist~
The 19th of the 7th month
Two days past I was sitting in a tree humming some ancient shamanic hymns when out of nowhere a loud horn rings out when the sun was 4 hours past its peak. I knew instantly that this heralded the great beast I had been hunting. The Drake that had killed my family when I was a child only to have it sucked away in a temporal rift before I could avenge them. I immediately mounted my trusted Winged Guardian steed and took off immediately in the direction of it's dreaded flapping. Alas, when I arrived I was too late. A devilish rogue, the blood-lusted glee still glowing in her eyes, stood over the beast's fallen corpse. With a delightful yell she flew off and I knew that once again, I must wait.

Today at roughly 6 hours past the time when the sun is at it's peak, I got reports from an ally of mine that he had spotted and slain the drake. I congratulated, and thanked, him, but I am still hunting, I must have my revenge. I will avenge my family.

saturday night, parked my character in storm peaks, sitting on a ledge just below where it says Temple of Storms on your map. waiting for NPC scan to alert me. after 3 hours i logged out, went to bed.
sunday morning, logged back in first thing i heard was the NPC alert for TLPD. one of the rare times i've actually been lucky on this character.
anyway, time was 10:37 a.m. and coordinates 35.1 65.0

I killed Dirkee and thought, "hmm, if Dirkee hasn't been killed, maybe the Time-Lost is alive as well". One minute later I had to mount, and one minute is pretty much the combined time I spent looking for the dragon :)

Just got him down on Arygos-US. He spawned on the snowy cliffside next to Frosthold above the Frozen Lake/Bor's Breath. According to someone else in the zone, Vyragosa had been killed only 10 to 15 minutes before TLPD spawned, so I'm not sure if that changes any of the theorycrafting surrounding this mythical beast. Note that he spawned ON the snow, not in the air. He didn't even have time to take off before I tagged him with Heroic Throw, so don't always look for him in the air.

LOL!
I just got him, after two weeks of camping. I decided to check brunn route real fast, just got out of a game on xbox. Flew to the spawn point, tlpd was flying in from the south. I tried to aggro him, and I did, but my snowfall lager didn't work. I died, and I thought I lost him. He flies fast, lol. Rezzed, followed him around engine of the makers, aggroed on the south side, brought him down fast. He wasn't doing much damage. His stun is the notable move that he has. I thought it was a joke when I killed him, he went down so easily. Looted. Corpse is still there. :P

Late to post this but I got TLPD on the 18/06/11 at 14:56 on Quel Thalas (EU) at Brunnhilder Village After camping Bor's Breath (on the waterfall spawn spot) for 3 months and 3 weeks with only ever seeing Vyragosa 4 times and 1 spawning on top of me I decided to camp Brunnhilder Village as the two spawn spots around bor's breath where always heavily camped and what a good decision that turned out to be :D in just one week I killed Vyragosa 7 times spawning right on top of me and then bang ! TLPD spawns right on top of me too. One week after deciding to change the spawn spot. But you can't beat that feeling of adrenaline when it spawns, I almost forgot how to use my rogue lol It's well worth the wait. Now I have this beautiful and rare mount I can say goodbye to those damn mountains :P Good Luck to all you TLPD hunters and stay patient it's worth it :)
I also used this to help me find it as a guide as these guys know everything you need to know about TLPD:

Hey,
Was just checking Bor's Breath after killing three northrend rares (Icehorn, Tukemuth, Scarlet highlord Daion). I couldn't believe it when my npc scanner went off and there he was right in front of me! I quickly killed him but then his corpse fell on the side of a ledge but I couldn't loot him! thankfully im a engineer and had a Loot-a-Rang. Funny part is this is only my second day actually trying to get him. I think when I killed the three northrend rares, made him spawn quicker. Anyway my server is Grizzly Hills and I got him! Good luck to all you hunters.

Here is my account looking for this drake. I started on 16th of July 2011 and chose one particular camp spot. Around 1730 Hrs on my server someone reported it dead but could not remember where so i demised that. Basically camped fairly casually, few hours here few hours there. Tried logging on particularly first thing in the morning, lunchtimes ish and stayed up into the small hours at the weekends. Saw lots of traffic from Alliance and Horde characters but kept my nerve. Then today Friday the 29th of July at around 1130 Hrs had logged on about 1/2 an hour, it paid off, not bad for a level 82 Dwarf Hunter and Hozzer my Bear. So my advice would be chose your spot and stick to it, don't be tempted to fly around and around. Oh and this was on Doomhammer (EU).

I know THAT oh too well. After a few months of camping TLPD. I logged into Storm Peaks, Like always. Flew to a spawnpoint, sat at it for 30 minutes. I got up to get a drink and do a few things. When I came back to my PC npc had gone off and I was dead at a graveyard. I called my boyfriend while I frantically looked for TLPD crying... ( LOL! I KNOW! ) And I flew over the lake to find him dead.... All the way from the Ulduar spawn point to the Lake......... Oh man. I was so sad. Looked at my Combat log and TLPD melee'd me to death for like 2 minutes or so. I never even got a glimpse of it.. SO SAD. ... so Ive been camping as usual still and only spotted Vyra twice since then, and that was three days ago. -.-

So back in WOTLK when I heard about this guy, I read a few comments of people saying "I was only at Storm Peaks for a few hours before I got it!" and thought "Yes! I will get lucky and get one the rarest mounts in the game."
But no, that was just the beginning of my some
200 hour
camp, one week I decided to really, really hit it, I was getting TLPD this week, it was happening, so with maybe about 12 hours sleep through the entire week, I go AFK one night for 2 minutes, to get a drink, and I come back to; yep, you guessed it, TLPD's corpse on top of me, naturally I paused, then checked my combat log, TLPD was hitting me for a solid minute before a Pally come and tagged him and took the mount, after 200 hours spent camping this stupid rare that's how I lose it? Naturally I rage quit the camp.
However I occasionally return to Storm Peaks in the hope I get lucky and find him, this hasn't been the case for the past few months, but just now, about a half an hour ago, I was reading these very forums for about the 5 hundredth time as I was flying down to the engine of the makers, and my NPC scan goes off, it was Time-Lost, I frost, dismounted, heroic throwed and parachute, unfortunately at that time I had a MASSIVE lag spike, and thought I was going to die, however I didn't.
I am so stoked to have finally gotten this mount, it's amazing, I love it, and it was well worth it, him getting killed on me made it all the more valuable to me.
Spawned at roughly 10:45pm on Saurfang-EU on the 8th of the 8th. :) :) :)

Just got him at 7:30 AM server (PST) on Dragonmaw-US.
TLPD was flying near 41,67.
I've camped him before trying to kill him but only to see him die to someone else twice. Was flying from Dalaran to do the Polar Bear daily while I was alt+tabbed. I heard my NPC scan go off, looked back into the game, and nearly crapped myself.
TLPD dead, mount mine.

He spawned at 8:45 8/8/2011 on the server Aggramar (US).
He came out of the mountain at the Bor's Breath spawn. I got lucky because there was an afk hunter there waiting for him then right after i killied it another hunter came. I did not need to use a slow fall thing of any kind cause he spawned fairly near the ground at the mountains. Ill add a screenshot link incase any of you want to see.

The little hunter lost track of the time she spent on a certain mountain ledge near Bor's Breath in the well-named Storm Peaks. Howling winds tugged at her clothing and seared her with their icy chills. Lightning continually crackled through the purple skies. Her feet and fingers were perpetually numbed, her vision affected from the bright snow. The cheer and warmth emanating from her campfire was never enough to drive away her shivers. She forgot what it was like to be warm and comfortable as the hours dragged into days, and the days into weeks, and the weeks into months. All she knew was that she must not stir, must not leave.... or else she might not find what she sought: the elusive Time-Lost Proto Drake.
During the long and dreary watch, she daydreamed about the warm, sunny streets of Orgrimmar... the peaceful elegance of Silvermoon City.... tropical beaches where impossibly blue water hissed against the sun-warmed sand and gulls keened in the salty air... She even missed the Firelands, where the air stung one's eyes with its smoke and dryness and an unwary step could land one in fiery lava pools. Everywhere else she'd been seemed so far away and remote it was as though she remembered them from another life.
Oh, there were brief flashes of excitement to liven up her days. Every now and then, a monstrous blue and white dragon named Vyragosa would spawn before her feet, or fly into range along the valley. Each time she was alerted to its presence, her heart would seize up in a rush of adrenaline. But alas… that was not the dragon that she sought. Somehow, no matter how many times she killed it, or alerted those who wanted to slay the evil beast themselves, that same dragon was able to come back to life again and again, to taunt her, to tease her, to disappoint her. It seemed that Vyragosa was focused solely on appearing to torment the little hunter.
Then, one day.... she was sitting on the mountain in her usual spot, huddled on her flying carpet, her trusty pet by her side, humming miserably to herself. She felt that warm weather was a fable, that her memories of a time when she was happy, well-fed, and could feel all her extremities, were mere dreams. Out of nowhere, the usual spell went off, the one that sounded horns and drums whenever Vyragosa came to tease her. But this time, it wasn't Vyragosa.
The little hunter caught her breath, hardly daring to believe what the spell indicated. There, over there! A golden-brown drake was winging its way west along the valley between the mountains. Immediately, the little hunter hurtled off the mountainside, feeling as though she’d never flown so slowly before. Hardly daring to breathe, unable to speak, she was in agony the whole time that someone else would appear and kill the brown drake first.
As soon as she was within range, she fired at it, then began to fall towards the icy ground. Where was the snowfall lager that she’d saved for such an occasion? She grasped it - too late, she was on the ground, a sliver of life left, but that was enough. Her shining spirit owl, Olorin, flew to the rescue and finished him off before he could reach her.
And then, it was over. The drake’s dying roars echoed into silence, its huge form still. All that could be heard was the wind whistling along the valley, and the little hunter’s ragged breathing. She got to her feet, brushing icy snow off her hands and stared in awe at the huge beast. Even now, after the fight, she could hardly believe her eyes.
Just like the stories had said, the drake had loot. The little hunter hardly noticed the gold, cloth, and jewelry. Her attention was on the spell that would allow her to summon a mount. She learned it, and performed the summons. The Time-Lost Proto Drake appeared instantly, and together they soared through the frosty cold air. As he winged his way around a mountain top, the drake’s head turned around to regard her with an amused and friendly eye. The little hunter knew that he was glad she’d persevered for so long in searching for him. She smiled back at him, and patted his warm neck, feeling as though her heart would burst with joy. Yes, there
had
been time lost in her search, but it was also time well spent, to have gained such a friend.
She looked back once as they left the chill of the Storm Peaks behind. Never again would she stay so long in that cold and sullen land. Cheering aloud, the little hunter, her owl, and her golden-brown drake headed for Orgrimmar, where friends, hot food, laughter, cheer, and comfortable beds abounded.

Date
:13 Aug 11, 3:20pm
Location
: Camped for weeks almost exclusively at Frozen Lake (31, 69), not sure if TLPD came from the waterfall spawn point (35, 76) or down from the Ulduar Ravine (52, 34), as both paths go through that area. The coords of where TLPD was killed: 30, 65.
Time spent searching
: Months spent casually, but made searching a priority these past few weeks. Probably only 8-9 Vyra spawns before TLPD appeared.

Just downed the TLPD.
It was kinda wierd...
I was attacking the thing when i saw him flying at 43:80 - and he disappeared/despawned.! I was freaking out, searching the area for him.
Found him again same spot, and same thing happened..
When i throw the first dots on him he dissappeared/despawned for the second time..............
Finally i got him down third time (within 5-10 minutes) at 38:76..
Anyone else experienced this something like this ?
It was pretty depressing second time it happend - only to find him 3rd time and finally get him down!

Got him on the Terrace of the Makers - actually a pretty good spot since you can find a ledge to stand on and be in range to hit him without having to worry about fall damage.

May be a coincidence but i ran into the drake and vyragosa at the same time the day after the other on european realm kul tiras at around 01:00 server time near temple of wisdom near ulduar. A great addon is in this exact form '_NPCscan' nothing extra. This gives an alert when a rare npc is within 100 yards and shows patrol path on map. Hope this info is helpful also it shows wheter or not this npc is dead by interface->addons->npcscan search and check in normal. So far enjoying mine enjoy yours too. Took me 2 days of camping hope u have better luck:)

i found him today! after 2 and a half days of camping!... he spawned above the frozen lake between valkyron and bor's breath... and i was literally 2 seconds away
first off...
i got interested in really camping him after one day i ran into Vyragosa... then i read alot of threads here and made a all out effort to get this mount... my strat was basically wait for 6 to 24 hours every time after i killed Vyragosa... id take a 6 hour break then come back to camp at the frozen lake and i patrolled the engine of makers and valkyron every so often like at :36 and :47 of every hour...
i killed Vyragosa 5 times... and i noted it so i could analyze and plot when he would appear next...
SERVER TIMES
4:30pm Vyragosa first time... wow there a possibility tlpd will spawn let me research on internet... led me here...
10:46pm Vyragosa okay this isnt so bad... next time may be the proto drake ^.^
7:30 am Vyragosa why couldnt it be the proto drake :(
9:49pm Vyragosa kill i woke up at 12:49am(real time) and said damn it >.<
8:31am(9:00 despawn no skinning) i saw a 72 undead rogue camping the spot and i said wtf the dragons lvl 80 and ur gonna miss alot and i will 2 shot u... i killed vyragosa a 5th time and did not wanna give up just yet untill i see another vyra or tlpd dead with my own eyes...
after killing him 5 times i just tried to analyze and predict when he would spawn next either 4:36pm or 5:47pm based on other spawns n randomness of a hour or 2 hours more then 6... i assumed he spawned every 6-11 vs 6-24hours...
5:11pm he spawnd and i didnt hear a sound on my comp from npcscan cuase i was dumb n turned down the volume... i looked at my screen it was flashing and tlpd was found! my heart was going crazy... i managed to pull him down and i was worried someone would tag before i did... i got him n cheered n hoorayed in real life lol... my words of advice are be dedicated... my friend came over n told me i was waisting my time lol i felt the same but i was determined and its 40% waiting 60% luck cuz honestly vyragosa could have appeard n i wouldnt be writing this... patience n research helped me... happy hunting GL
i wanna thank jaybomb horde shamman who wished me luck thru a emote while i was camping ^.^

I bagged Vyragosa at Bor's Breath two nights ago at 11:31 PM EDT on the Borean Tundra US server, so I've been hanging around the Storm Peaks a lot the last two days. Earlier tonight, I finished my dailies with the Oracles and headed over to the same spot where I spotted Vyragosa, and got there a little before 8:30 PM EDT. At about 8:32, I started flying up the canyon, and turned left toward the Engine of the Makers. Right before I got to that spot, my NPCScan went off for the TLPD. I hurredly started looking all around, but couldn't see it. I began flying around like mad in all directions, but still couldn't find it. I started to figure maybe the scanner was tripped by her corpse, which would explain why I couldn't see her flying around. Even if she was flying, I thought someone else would have seen her by then and I missed my chance. I decided to take one more loop back to Bor's Breath and turned left toward Brunnhildar Village, and lo and behold, there she was flying right toward me! I flew right into her so she would aggro me, and I slowly led her to a fairly level spot on the side of the mountain. I'm a Death Knight, so as soon as I landed I pulled her right next to me and finished her off pretty quickly. I couldn't believe that I had finally bagged her. As to her flight path, I think she probably spawned somewhere around the Engine of the Makers and was headed toward Brunnhildar Village. That would explain why I couldn't find her when my NPCScan went off. I was heading north, and she was flying away from me to the east. That also explains why I finally ran into her when I headed south back to Bor's Breath and turned left toward Brunnhildar Village. I'm just amazed someone else didn't see her first with me wasting all that time looking for her. Just lucky, I guess! Good hunting!

So, I've been camping this thing 10+ hours a day for the past month. No NpcScan, just a macro. I have seen Vyra 20+ times(lost count >.>), found Skoll 10 times, Dirkee 8 or 9 times, and missed TLPD about a dozen times. Starting to think that luck and this drake are myths. -.-
The macro is:
/cleartarget
/target Time-Lost
/target Vyra
/stopmacro

I still feel the RUSH. WOW. I just leveled my hunter to 80 running a dungeon right after I tamed Loque and decided to take a stroll over to Storm Peaks to see if my Skoll had popped yet since I was high enough to tame him.. Nope. So Took Rohemdal Pass heading to Dalaran to train when my NPC alarm went off. I expected to see a mini Blue Drake dance across my NPC screen, but my heart beat out of my chest when Time-Lost Proto Drake danced acroos the banner. Clicked to target him and as I turned around there he was making a westward turn from the frozen lake heading right for me. Wasn't prepared for this. So I just flew into him he attacked i dropped down and Loque took over. Aggro'd a bunch of frostfeather witches which was a nightmare but I just needed to make sure I hit TLPD a few times so my pet didn't do 100% of the damage, not being able to loot would have been a nightmare. But he died. Server time. 4:35 AM. Pacific time 3:35 AM server: Nathrezium. He flew North up to the frozen lake then took a left down Rohemdal Pass I killed him at 25,72. I did a check when I came into the area I was the only horde around. Don't know about Alliance. OH yea it was Early MOnday AM Aug 22, 2011

I camped this spawn starting 1-27-11 and ending 2-13-11 when I killed him at the frozen lake spawnpoint (my campsite) on Shandris-US.
Here's an in-depth account of my camping (usually starting around noon and ending around midnight) :
1-28-11 -3:20am, 11:10am: vyra killed -5:10pm:
TLPD
corpse found
1-29-11 -9:00am, 10:14pm: vyra corpse found/killed
1-31-11 -4:04pm, 8:48pm: vyra corpse found
2-1-11 -4:02pm: vyra found -10:16pm:
TLPD
corpse found
2-2-11 -6:07pm: vyra corpse
2-5-11 -11:30pm: vyra killed
2-6-11 -3:46pm: vyra killed
2-8-11 -5:01pm, 9:52pm: vyra corpse
2-9-11 -3:30pm, 11:30pm: vyra killed
2-10-11 -1:17pm, 10:04pm: vyra killed
2-11-11 -2:16pm, 6:25pm: vyra killed/killed by friend
2-12-11 -7:18pm: vyra killed
2-13-11 -10:17pm:
TLPD
killed, despawned at 10:52pm
During this time I helped many hunters get their blue lightning-wolves. XD
From my experience, I can tell you that only vyra and the TLPD share a spawn timer (as in common knowledge) and was a minimum of 4 hours, max of 11 hours (though I might've missed some spawns) to respawn. He does exist, and if you just keep looking, you'll find this elusive proto eventually. ;)

ok guys, so here is my story. i was camping Time-Lost Proto Drake for months. no sign of vyragosa too except accidentally once, when i was lower lvl (70-something) and it killed me.
been months that now i was camping and searching for any rare in the storm peaks and no luck. yesterday i finally got dirkee. and today at about 6.35 in the morning, i got also vyragosa. i had not the belief that i can find TLPD today but i kept searching, and to my luck (finally) i also got TLPD today at 15.30. got ecstatic and all and just stopped shaking tbh.. so i thought this might help somehow.. anws good luck to all that keep on the search for this epic-epic mount.
cheers all :D

If it helps with the time,i just found the tlpd (10.05am the shat'ar server) at bor's breath. After months of non stop camping he finally spawned in front of me! i was shaking so much not to mention i jumped at the NPCscan going off! do not give up people he will eventually spawn for you,it just takes a lot of patience and time :(

After camping for about 12 hours my NPCscan finally hit but it turned out that a lucky horde doing crusader dailies snagged it SECONDS before i could. It died at approximately 6:20pm server time and despawned at 6:50pm server time, and this is on Twisting Nether. The location was just yards from the bottom of the waterfall. In those 12 hours i didnt see any signs of either Vyragosa or Time-lost but i guess im lucky enough to have had the Time-lost as my first hit. I officially lost my "Time-lost" Virginity. =P

So, I finally got my Time-Lost. After several sightings (once alive, twice dead) I got it. I noticed someone put up a hot-spot for the Drake and I thought "Why not? Beats camping." As I head up towards the Engine of the Makers from Bor's Breath, at 7:09:17 on 29/9/11, _NPCscan goes off. I CAN confirm the Drake spawns above the Engine of the Makers, and it was headed around the Brunnhildr/Sifreldar path South.
Every time I had been off by a few minutes, or seconds in my first sighting. And finally, when everyone was asleep, I got it!
Do not give up.
No matter what happens, it is possible.

So, here's some speculation I've noticed.
The Time-Lost
CAN
spawn twice in a row. I've known it to happen at least once. It's also a possiblity the spawn timer is as low as three hours. I've seen a dead Vyragosa at around four in the morning. Six hours later I find a dead Time-Lost, yet a little poking around reveals there was another at around seven. The second occured around five hours after my kill.
Now, judging by the first piece of evidence, I believe Vyragosa is linked to the Time-Lost spawn. I also believe there is a chance neither will spawn, but without solid respawn times we may never know.

after 3 weeks of camping and getting nothing but vyragosa @ 4:35am server time on Thunderhorn i log in and i go and take a shower when i come up npc scan has gone off and im like ya of course so i fly around and i find nothing and i come back to the spot where he spawned and here he comes flying around the corner from frosthold and im getting really excited now that after about 5 mins no1 has killed it so i get close enough dismount and start shooting at her and down she goes. i was so happy :) because i was starting to lose faith that she will ever spawn, but i have her now and im never camping anything again lol. gl to every1 who hasn't gotten the mount yet be patient and it will come.

FINALLY after 1 month and 2 days of camping (mostly 10-14hrs a day while using a second account to help),
I got the TLPD @ 9-25-11 Sunday 1:33am Lothar Server Time (Brunnhildar Spawn 51,71)!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
MOST USEFUL INFO LISTED BELOW
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
MOST HELPFUL WEBSITE IS:
http://www.tlpdresource.com/
SPAWN SPOT COORDS:
- - -
SPAWN TIMES FOR TLPD RECORDED WHILE I CAMPED:
2pm, 9pm, 12am, 1:33am, 4:23am, 7:30am, 11:30am.
ADDONS:
NPC Scan, NPC Overlay, Silver Dragon and TOMTOM(For Coordinates and Uldum Camel Waypoints)
TIP:
Use
飘雪窖藏啤酒
(bought with 2 Relics of Uldar) if you do not have a slow fall.
HUNTER MACRO:
/Cast !Eagle Eye (Allows you to view all spawn spots while staying camped. Make sure NPC Scan Cache is cleared so it'll alert you if the rare spawns next 2U while in EE).
CAMPING MAP:
(Spawn Paths, Pathing Direction, Spawn Spots/CrossPaths)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v405/VampiresKitten/WOW/Timelostprotodrakepaths-1-1.jpg
PERSONAL TIP:
Another helpful thing was that TLPD spawned between 5 1/2 hrs-12 1/2 hrs after last Vyragosa kills..(which isn't that helpful since Vyra can spawn 1-3 times a day. My advice would be to sleep for 5 hrs after killing last Vyragosa) Out of the 7 sightings/kills of TLPD, I have noticed the TLPD would spawn 2-3 days after last TLPD kill, give and take 2 hrs opposite of am/pm time.
FOR EXAMPLE:
If the TLPD spawned Wednesday @ 4pm, than it will most likely spawn Friday or Saturday between 2am-6am. Using that method is how I caught mine 2 days later.

EXTRA INFO BASED OFF MY EXPERIENCE HUNTING THE TLPD
I missed TLPD 6 times (notified by friends and other campers) before I caught this one.
ALSO the Path
Direction
for the TLPD is the same as Vyragosa (Located on the map linked above)! When I caught the TLPD, he started flying towards blue drakes not k3. Every Vyragosa Kill confirmed those paths and so did the 6 TLPDfriend/camper kill info.. but again.. this is only a little over a month of info. I'm sure there were more TLPD sightings that I missed but I'm giving an average/round about conclusion from MY EXPERIENCE hunting the TLPD. I probably killed Vyragosa about 45 times before I got him.. It's all about patience!
Vyragosa Info:
Spawn Times I have personally seen for Vyragosa are :05, :33, :48 and :55 of the hours.
The longest I have camped was 14 hours in one day. One time I killed Vyragosa 3x in 12 hours (Right when logged in, 6 hrs later and 6 hrs after that before logging out). I saw Vyragosa 1-3 times daily. She seems to be on a 5 1/2 - 12 1/2 hour timer.
TLPD CAPTURE STORY
My alt on my second account was at Brunhildar spawn spot. My Hunter was at Frozen Lake spot. They are in the same lvl 25 guild and have the same Guild Summoning ability. I put my toons in a group together and placed my guild summons spell on the action bar. I made my alt stand a little away from spawn location so I could use the guild summons in case TLPD spawned (can't use while in combat). Well, guess what? TLPD spawned where my alt was. About 5 seconds later my hunter was summoned and I got on my hunter's mount.. flew up to TLPD which had just flown right over battle circle with the armored bears and I tried shooting it. Target Not Selected! I selected TLPD and then shot it. I went to use Snowfall Leger and accidently took it off the action bar.. but Luckily I placed it back on the action bar and clicked JUST IN TIME... a second later and I would have died from falling damage. The TLPD followed me down and yay! Dead! YAY! =^_^= *hugs TLPD Mount* FINALLY!

I love all these people who are constantly complaining about the 'LONG' camps, I've been camping this thing for 3 years, I've only seen it a couple of times, and all of them were dead, so please stop complaining, we don't care if you think 2 weeks at 6 hours a day is a long time okay?

I am VERY disappointed my post was deleted, some were downrated\hidden, but EVEN deleted seems a bit unfair, as I didn't say anything which wasn't concerning the tlpd.
I'll simply re-write it: after 21 hours of searching Vyragosa in the end of August and after I got her, I decided I'd have never tried for this, said to be 16 times more rare.
Nevertheless, the 1st September, while I was doing the daily in which you have to trap 8 snowblind followers (crusader daily) I was near K3 and saw it!
I checked on the /who, no horde player was there, there might have been some alliance, although it was like 5.30 a.m., so I hurried up myself (just for the rarity, I was never interested in this) and killed it.
It was easier than Vyragosa even to kite to the ground, as it was flying not very high.
It was on the brunnhildar village route, and he was very probably going clockwise (from what I could see, as I just saw him fly a few seconds).
Good luck to all campers, keep killing vyragosa; sooner or later it will be the time-lost.
If the post was deleted because someone didn't believe I had actually found it, here are 5 screenshots!

Managed to nab this guy on Spinebreaker this morning at 8:35 AM server time. I didn't camp, it was totally random during a flight through Storm Peaks near the frozen lake spawn point. When NPC Scan and Silverdragon went off, I expected to find the corpse as it was the only other time I've seen him before. No, he was flying right at me, and there was no one else around! After recovering from shock and disbelief, I landed and took a few shots, and down he went.

I was flying back from doing the daily in Brunnhildar Village, and NPCscan went off for the TLPD as I passed through Bor's Breath. I pressed the button to target TLPD, and saw that it was the corpse. This was at 10 pm server time on the Borean Tundra US Alliance server on 9/24/11. I was on my DK, which already has it, and I figured I would try for it on my main Warrior. I started camping yesterday at Bor's Breath at about 6:30 pm server time, with occasional flights around the zone. I took a break at 9 pm to do some quests for an achievement, then decided to give it one more try before quitting for the day. I reached the beginning of the canyon at Bor's Breath at exactly 11:45 pm server time, and NPCscan went off immediately for the TLPD. I looked down, and she was flying toward me fairly low in the canyon...about the height Vyragosa usually flys. I dove and flew right into her to get aggro, and led her to the big rock on the floor of the canyon. In a few seconds, I had my mount. Luck and the RNG were really on my side to get her so quick, and to have the TLPD spawn twice in such a short period of time (~14 hours). Good luck to all who are still searching!

All in a day's work:
Realm: Icecrown
(Today, Oct 2, 2011)
Thank you to the comment I read about a possible 7 hour spawn timer. All of the following were roughly 7 hours apart, all spawned in the same area where Bor's Breath meets Valkyrion.
6:07am -
Vyragosa
(killed, despawned after 30 min)
1:33pm -
Skoll
(killed, despawned quickly)
8:27pm -
Time-Lost Proto Drake
(killed, despawned after 30 min)
Next spawn, 3:55ish am?
Happy Hunting!

First of all, let me say that all of what follows is simply a random guesstimate. Being that this proto-drake is time lost, expect to lose ALOT of time on it.
Most reports I've seen place the odds of TLPD spawning 1/6th of the times that the shared spawn of TLPD/Vyra actually spawns.
From what I've seen/read, there seems to be four active spawn points for this shared spawn.
Spawn times from what I've seen can range from 45 minutes to 12 hours.
Assuming worst-case for all of the above points, we can deduce the following, assuming that we camp 1 spawn point non-stop till TLPD is found:
1 in 6 chance of spawning at 1 of 4 locations = 1 in 24 chance of having tlpd spawn at our location
Again, assuming worse-case scenario of a 12 hour spawn timer, we have a 1 in 24 chance of seeing TLPD in that 12 hour period. Applying simple statistical probability, we have a "100%" chance of seeing TLPD at our location once every six days, if we camp 24 hours a day, non stop, for 6 days straight.
Of course this is just a probable CHANCE, and not an actual 100% guarantee we will see tlpd. Also, it is highly unlikely anyone would manage camping a point 24 hours a day, let alone for 6 straight days.
This is just to make it clear that one must be very dedicated, determined, and patient to get this drake.
I should add, for those of you that insist on sitting at a camp point someone is already at: If there are two of you there, unless you're cool hand luke, you've got a 50% chance of tagging tlpd first. That being the case, you just increased the number of days it will take for you to get him to 12 straight 24 hour camping periods. Do yourself a favor, if someone is already at a spot, MOVE ON.

Finally killed it today. Stormscale US 10/04/2011 3:50pm, it was flying clockwise around the Temple of Storms.
Since I was the only person in the zone I was camped up on the little outcropping directly south of the Engine and south-east from the Temple (called the 'multi-path spot' on tlpdresource.com) though I normally sit at the Frozen Lake when I have direct competition.
I was tabbed out reading this page of all things when npcscan went off. Fully expecting it to be Vyragosa (again...) I took my time tabbing back and much to my surprise it was TLPD instead, coming straight towards me from the direction of the Engine. It wasn't very difficult to intercept him and bring him to the ground (much easier than Vyragosa since he didn't seem to have a ranged attack he could spam). Given his direction and speed he likely spawned at the Frozen Lake ~4 minutes before I saw him.

What's the best way to find TLPD/Vyragosa? Spawn camp it or just fly around? Becouse i have been flying around for 3 days now and killed vyragosa 2 times and seen him dead 2 times, but all the other that i have seen farming it just camping.
I really want that mount...

Found this today completely by accident, I was leaving Storm Peaks after doing one of my Argent Tournament dailies, I was about to take the flight back to the tournament grounds when my npcscan went off. TLPD was flying low over K3, I'm still surprised, I thought it could only be found high up.

Quote from
tlpdresource.com
:
Flight speed is not always constant. Usually it cruises just under normal mount speed, but both vyra and tlpd can fly damn near as fast as 280% speed mounts, at times. Have followed at just faster speed all the way around loops several times. Mostly though, it does travel just below 150% speed mounts. Usually quite easy to catch up with once in sight. But not always.
I have 280% flying speed on the toon that's currently camping TLPD, and I did the Ulduar circuit to see how long it would take me, as that loop is the biggest: a little over 4 minutes. So TLPD would probably take longer than that if it was on the Ulduar track, and less on other tracks. But, given its speed variations, it's hard to be more accurate.
Edit: This was in answer to someone's query about TLPD's flight speed, but their comment appears to be deleted.

This is a story that starts with heartache, but ends with triumph.
I've been searching for this mount on and off for about a year now, but I've been incredibly bored as of late, so after a long night of crashing through Ramparts to grab items to powerlevel tailoring and enchanting, I decided to get serious about it. Got on Wowhead, read through all the comments, hit a few of the sites mentioned by others who have been at this far longer than I have and headed out to Storm Peaks on my trusty Snowy Gryphon, armed with determination and NPCScan.
I guess I can fast forward through all the long, solitary hours spent at the various spawn points, watching and waiting for the NPC alarm to go off. I can't tell you how many times I saw Varygosa dead, and accounted for several kills on my own. Then, on 10/19, success...or so I thought. I had logged out in the inn at K3 earlier, as I was almost late for work and decided to grab the candy bucket while I was there. When I got home that night, I logged onto various other toons first, checking auctions, setting new ones...blah blah blah. Finally, at 12:24 a.m. server, I finally got on my main for another lonely night of camping.
As I logged in, I heard the NPCScan alarm going off. Meh, another Varygosa I was sure. But as I looked down at the mob display, I saw none other than the TLPD! I was pumped, I can tell you. I sprinted (well, not literally, since this toon is a mage) outside the inn and mounted, frantically searching the skies. Made two circuits and there she lay.....dead. An undead mage was just vanishing into the mists on her very own TLPD, no doubt laughing maniacally. I was sick. Not physically sick. Heartsick. A poisoned dagger to the heart would have been quicker. It sure as hell would have hurt less. I haven't cried over a video game since a certain villain stabbed a certain young girl in the back, way back when, when WoW wasn't even dreamed of, but this was a close call.
I nearly gave up. I admit it. I certainly cut back the time I spent camping, only heading out there on the hour if I thought about it, mostly parking myself at one point or the other when I logged out and spending my last few minutes of game time for the day watching and sighing over what was lost.
Then, the WoW gods intervened. They must have. At around 3:00 a.m.,10/22, I left Dal, flying straight for what was to be my last shot that night. As I entered Storm Peaks, I did a /who to see if I had any competition, just in case. I had been out earlier the previous day and there were 15 85's there. Not too difficult to guess that there was a good chance that 60% of them at least were there for the same purpose. But now there were three, and at least one was competition, because I'd seen him on and off for the last three weeks. I decided to fly straight up the frozen river at Bor's Breath and park at the Frozen Lake spawn point. I'd just started to gain altitude when NPCScan started freaking out. Looked down and almost fell out. TLPD again! My blood pressure doubled, I can assure you. Started pressing my target macro, locked on...and promptly set off in the wrong direction. Lost target, turned around, found target and there, high above me, there she was. Now was not the time to regret not buying Master Riding, right? Although my hands were shaking, I managed to fly to the ledge she was even with, smack her on the nose, dismount, arcane explosion, a couple of ice lances and I was riding off into the sunset as the aforementioned pally showed up.
I know this has been a little long, but the points I want to make are these: Don't give up. She is out there. However, a healthy dose of luck doesn't hurt. And I must confess, that as that pally flew up to me on his flying broom as I crouched over my kill, I may have let out a few maniacal giggles of my own :) Happy hunting to all!

i finally got it! not on the character i was hoping, but at least i know it still exists.
SO... here's my story. >.>
i was questing in Storm Peaks on my lvl 78 shaman and took a break to see if i could find any rares for easy XP. found Skoll on the hill by Brunnhildar(didn't kill him, killing spirit beasts makes me feel bad ): ), so then i went looking for Dirkee and found him at Terrace of the Makers and killed him.
looked to the south, i saw a glimpse of something yellow flying by Grom'arsh Crash Site towards the Engine before it disappeared. i thought it was someone that already had the mount, but then i realized if it WAS someone with the drake i wouldn't be able to see it from so far away. hopped onto my wyvern, flew off to the Engine expecting to see its corpse, but no, there it was, flying right in front of me in all its glory. :o
killed it by one of Dirkee's spawn points, southwest of the Engine at 3:35am realm time.

TLPD shares spawns with every other rare in Northrend. The cap can be around 4-5 rares up at once. While camping TLPD have a friend go around and kill any rares up in other zones. This should help TLPD/Vyragosa spawn alot quicker.
Tried it last week and Vyragosa spawned nearly 10-15mins after the last rares in Scholozar Basin were killed. This DOES NOT affect the chance TLPD will spawn over Vyragosa
I suggest checking
www.tlpdsource.com
for better answers and guides.
EDIT: I cant post links yet : /

Just downed him on Shandris at 33.5,35.7
Camped him for a few days a few months back, but lost patience. Questing through Storm Peaks working on Loremaster, and after watching Loken kick Thorim's tail, npcScan pops for TLPD! I literally killed him on top of the Temple of Wisdom, after having to fly up to agro him, because he was pathing just out of range.
Good luck everyone, and happy hunting.

Hello, Rai from Argent Dawn EU to report my kill of the Time-Lost Proto Drake.
I was in Storm Peaks, Just woken up, and went to do my archaeology at the town just next to the frozen waterfall, and I flew down the passage way to the waterfall, my NPCScan goes off, and my heart jumps a beat, It's Time-Lost Proto Drake, Flying over the village and around the mountain to Frosthold I think. I had been camping him on and off now for months with my friend, Salvadór, I click to target, but I can't see him, 20 seconds of desperately flying around I find him above the waterfall, pulled him down and then killed him, He only has 18k. TLPD found 9:50am, 26/10/11 Argent Dawn EU.

Not sure if this was already said, but he will stun you for two seconds right after you engage him. I found out while falling to my death after not being able to use my Snowfall Lager.
The best thing to do is to pull him to the ground while flying, then tag him with a ranged ability.

Couple weeks ago when i was camping it, it took me 12 days 24/7 camping to get this (wasnt botting, just have a good husband). We were covering 3 spawning spots. After we caught the drake, we camped more, it took 4 days to catch another one. Killed 33 Vyra in that time. Wouldnt like to repeat that:)

15 vyragosa and a few weeks of random camping the spawn ledge above frozen lake. 31.7, 69.4
i finally snagged it.
i had been just camping an letting my pc stay on with the sound all the way up, checking back ever 30 minutes(the time you can be inactive before being DCed) and logging in in the mornings before work and sitting for about 15-20 minutes. then this morning when i was getting dressed after logging i heard a lot of growling and roaring, lol my pet had pulled aggro and was half way done killing tlpd before i got there, lol almost broke my neck on the way down the stairs, but anyway, glad to have it and many thanks to all of wowhead and all you guys for the help tips and sites. shes out there just takes time. thanks guys!
ive uploaded some screen shots with the location on the map for anyone who isn't familiar with the spawn point, also a few of me after the kill and on the mount, thanks again guys, never would have found it with out you. ;)

USE FULL INFO!
----------------------------------
there is a shared spawn with vyragosa and Time-Lost and only 1 can be spawned at a time, and now for the down fall :S there is a 96% chance vyragosa will spawn and 4% for TLPD and i suddenly spotted
EXACTLY
where vyragos's spawn point is, he spawn's south from
Valkyrion
(30.0/66.0) but not sure if Time-Lost shares the spawn but more likely he does, when Vyragosa/TLPD spawn's it not in same place all time, depending on where they spawn will be a curtain route, the cordes i gave will take the NPC clock wise around the mountain but following the trail acording to ''NPC-SCAN'' when he start's to fly around he will stay at the same level but as it reaches the southern side of the mountain he goe's down slightly and goe's into the trench and it's just a repeated patturn, and there was another time i found vyragosa in the exact spot 2 times in a row after camping next to where i found him so not 100% if that is his spawn point for tht area, incase it is i give cords, far east from temple of storms near the edge of a drop (46.0/55.6) and tht time around i just killed him and didnt find out what track's he take's for that spawn, there is some1 i know that has farmed for Time-Lost Proto Drake for
5 MONTHS!
every day and finally got it, his coment on getting it was '' it was totally worth all that time cuz now i can go around and dont have to feel like im flying a comon mount, and the only reason they named the drake Time-Lost is cuz alot of people will of gave up farming it, Time-Lost ---->>> Lost-Time
best time's to be farming is 3am - 5am WoW time and remember they are flying but low to the ground you cant miss there big ass tbh, will be GARENTEED! to find 4%Time-Lost or 96% Vyragosa, GOOD LUCK! for those who go for the goal and congratz for them who get it. :) hope helped....

Here I am. Camping TLPD. I've been watching Grey's Anatomy in the background. I'm on season 3. TLPD resource is a very good site to use. Ive killed Vyragosa countless times by now. Since the shattering spawn times have become freakish. I hope I have one by the end of season 7 or I'm not sure how much more I can sit here, staring at Bor's and slightly hating myself.

So i was camping for Skoll and ran into Vyragosa at 11am server time on bleeding hollow and killed her. I got back on and flew back and I just missed TLPD! TLPD spawned exactly 11 hours after I killed Vyragosa! But unfortunately I missed it =(. Someone else had gotten TLPD. If I had just gotten there a little sooner....

Did a full circuit before I even realized. Here is the recent log I have for November. I feel a bit bad for another person on my sever has a bounty on her head for much, much longer than I have and he logged in right where TLPD's body was 5 minutes after I killed her. You'll get her man.

Found the lovely TLPD while camping for Skoll on Steamwheedle Cartel. He spawned at 6:30pm, however, as I had stepped away for dinner, I didn't get the kill in till 6:53pm. I was so mad when I came back and saw that NPC scanner had found him going by my camp spot, but decided to see if I could find him alive or dead. Thankfully, I found him living, and body pulled him to the ground before I fired off a few shots and claimed this lovely beast as mine.
Now if I could just get what I came here for to spawn ^^

Just got TLPD this morning around 8:45 am on TANARIS server. Im so frickin' happy lol was camping this drake forever!
He was about to fly over Bor's Breath coming from the right .That's where I finally got him.
I only saw the NPCS scan first because I was not at my computer for a sec . Was flying around like crazy and could not find him ...I almost got a heart attack .Thank God there was no one else at Storm Peak but me. (Im horde sot sure if there was any alli...)
Also killed Vyragosa last night around not sure when (got her so many times already) around 8 or 9 pm.

Found this NPC right as Bors Breath reaches the Engine of the Makers. I was questing at the time, and I saw a tan colored drake out of the blue drakes above my head, Death Gripped him on my death knight, Haagman (Bloodscalp), and the mount dropped. From what I've read in the comments, I was EXREMELY lucky.
Good Luck to the rest of you looking for him, Hope the location helped.

Just killed him today at 12:00 pm on Smolderthorn. I found him flying along right near that canyon area near the frozen waterfall (which I believe is where he spawned). He was flying about 30-50 ft in the air at a rather slow pace going counterclockwise.
As for my two cents on camping him, I personally sat in he middle of the canyon as many of the spawn paths overlap that area. However, that is placing a bet, hoping that he will be alive long enough to fly around to where I am. If you are on a high pop server, sitting on top of the spawn points might be more effective due to the high competition.
I used npcscan, npcscan overlay, and silverdragon (just incase npcscan decided not to work).
Also, picking up a slow fall item is advisable simply due to the high altitude. If you fall, and die, it is unlikely that he will still be alive when you rez and find him again.

I was flying out to Ulduar with some guildies when I saw something flying at me. I thought it was someone else on the tlpd until my silverdragon went off. I just flew around him until I picked up aggro then flew to the ground and killed it. He was on the path due west of Brunnhildar around 10-10:30 EST, Tanaris server.

@Whitetiger1984 - Nobody knows any spawn times for these drakes, thats what makes them so rare. You can wait between evrything from a few hours up to several days before u might be lucky enough to find one.
I have been looking at the amount of campers under /who, and sinse theres almost always 8-10ppl hanging around ive never borthered cos i dont have the time to camp as intensely as them.
But! Today i was flying over storm peaks on my was to a low lvl dungeon to make some achivs, and my NPC scan went off on him:) i was suprised to see that for the first time i was actually alone in the zone.
This was on Turalyon at 13:26 and he was flying from the waterfall and over to Bor's Breath, not 2seconds after i fired my first spell at him, another camper logged on, i did feel kinda bad but rly happy at the same time that i haddent wasted sleepless nights trying to catch this guy.
Awesome mount! Gl and happy hunting yall:)

Spawn & sighting note:
Server: Turalyon
Date: Monday, December 12th
Time: approx. 12:30am (realm time), 9:30am PST
Location: Engine of the Makers (by blue drakes)
Duration: About 15 min (logged out, re-set NPC, NPC went off again. Upon repeating this process 15 min later there was no alarm. NPC appears to have despawned.)
I was unable to sight and target the time-lost proto drake. Perhaps was at the wrong flying height. I was a little above the wild blues feasting on the rhinos

looking for him, right now. i stay at the bor's breath and bor's fall area, ill check brunn path every 15 minutes. I don't worry about the ulduar path, because it's farther away from the rest that are close together. he could spawn at bor's breath as you go check the ulduar path and come back and he's dead.
I like having storm peaks to myself so the chances of me getting it are higher.
/who the storm peaks and have /tar time-lost and /tar vyra macroed
...and time-lost proto drake do not share a timer with dirkee or skoll, just vyragosa.

I was camping the time-lost proto drake at
28.7, 67.6
. I left my computer to get a drink, and at
12:46pm
(Realm: Genjuros), NPC scan did the drums. I came back to my screen none the wiser, and spotting that brown button I panicked that he was nowhere to be seen. I flew around the path for that spawn spot, and targetted him once. Panicking again, I turned around thinking I'd missed him (so annoyed about this mistake). I got round full circle and a bit further, and there he was, with a grey target bar and no health. You can guess the anger I was hurling at my guild mates.
It hasn't put me off though. I know he spawns, so I guess I'll be camping every day at 12:46 :P

F***ING MISSION COMPLETE!
I was shaking all over when my macro tagged the TLPD near Engine of the Makers. I thought it would be Vyragosa again, but it wasn't. I slapped myself in my face, i wasn't dreaming, it was him!
A horde was searching for him as well, he was camping a spot 100 feet behind me so i was a bit afraid he would kill it first, but he was to late! Hell YEAH!
Pretty easy kill on my fire mage. Dismount, slow fall, living bomb did the job ;)

This awsome drake appeared at 12:15 am EST at the waterfall spawn point(34.86, 73.37), Gilneas server. I had been camping the little bugger all day and a few days before that as well as off and on through the month. Whilst I was downing something to keep my poor hunter from going splat, some royal @$$ decided to swoop in and take this fellow for himself. Such lovely Christmas spirit, but oh well.

I am going to help some people here and say that most of the comments here are incorrect and wrong. However, I am going to tell you my story on this mob. I have spent 4 months looking for Time Lost and I obtained it at 10-22-11 at 11:52 am on Drak'thul server. I was camping at Bor's Breath, right above Frosthold, and he flew right into me from the right. Easily killable. I Can confirm Vyragosa and Time Lost Do share spawns, at aprox 1/16 chance being Time Lost instead of Vyragosa. They both have 4 spawn spots, Ulduar, Bor's Fall, Bor's Breath, and Brunnhildar Village. All have same chance to spawn. Glad I could help and Good Luck!

Got my TLPD yesterday at 11:23 pm on Doomhammer. I followed some advice I got from a bloke when I killed Aeonaxx the day before. He had gotten his TLPD a few days before and had spent 3 hours camping in total. His story was that he had killed Vyragosa, read that it shared the timer with TLPD and decided to come back 6 hours later. He did just that and camped for three hours at the birds nest (at approximately 38.8, 64.0) before he got his drake.
I thought he had just had dumb luck but as I killed Vyragosa the day after at 4:51 pm I decided to give it a shot. I came back 6 hours later and did a sweep around Storm Peaks before parking at the same spot he had used. I spent about 30 mins alt-tab:ing between Thottbot and the game while reading some posts here and nearly fell off my chair as I returned to the game and saw that NPCScan had found TLPD. I was frantically trying to tag him while I flew towards the frozen waterfall next to Sifreldar village and finally saw a yellow flickering in the distance and realized that the drake was coming my way counter-clockwise from Frosthold. As it came closer to the frozen waterfall I was so excited that I shot it and missed my Snowfall Lager so I died... Cursing I ressurected and saw TLPD disappear just around the bend towards Bor's Breath. As I caught up with it I saw a Shadowpriest close in on him so I just threw off a lucky shot and landed hard again. With approx 5% life left TLPD was upon me and and I took some beating before I realized I had dismissed my pet earlier.
All in all I didn't do many things right, but I managed to kill it at 11:23 pm and finally got my TLPD on the day two years after I missed him the last time. I took some crazy advice from a guy who had camped TLPD for three hours in total, and his luck was passed on to me. Now I hope that luck will be passed on to you...
Edit: Two days ago I got some good advice that led me to TLPD, and today the guy who gave me the advice killed Aeonaxx and got Phosphorescent Stone Drake. I guess that is Karma: By helping others, you help yourself :)

Found the TLPD at 2:10 server time, on the Silver Hand server. He was at the southern-right patrol, heading counter clockwise.
20 minutes later I found the Phosphorescent Stone Drake. I must be lucky.
~Darkaki of Silver Hand
Edit- Next morning found the Time-Lost Proto-Drake again, and tried to down it for a friend. I had competition, so I was unable to wait. He spawned on his sounthern-left spawn point. Sadly, I didn't get the time.Was probally around noon, server time.

Spotted Vyragosa's corpse at 8:55pm CST 12/31/2011 on Korialstrasz. Current theory suggests she shares a spawn with the Time-Lost, so I used that as a reference point for time.
At 4pm CST 1/1/2011 after an hour and a half of spawn-camping and random patrolling in Bor's Breath, Time-Lost flew right past me counterclockwise on the southern-most patrol route, around Frost Hold
screen
. After a heated chase in competition with another camped player, I tagged and bagged me some Reins with little trouble. The stun attack it has kinda sucks for a caster, but it wasn't too much of a problem.
As Vyragosa's corpse has been reported to vanish 30 minutes after kill (with no skinning) that puts this particular spawn delay between 19 and 19.5 hours, on the upper end of the 12-20 hour estimated time.
(Yes, some will hate me, but I only casually patrolled for this guy when I was in the area before and decided to shoot for him only when I saw Vyragosa's corpse. So it took me about 2 hours to get him.)

1. TLPD does share spawn timers, spawn points and routes with Vyragosa
2. TLPD is a rare spawn of a rare spawn meaning that instead of Vyragosa spawning there is a small chance it will be the TLPD instead.
3. TLPD is completely unrelated with Dirkee, Skoll and any other rare for that matter.
4. The spawn timer has shortened since patch 4.1 I have seen as short as 4 hours in between and as long as 15+ it has been noted for a spawn within 70 minutes of each other.
5. The best method is not to fly around the patrol paths but to camp 1 spot in my opinion this has to be frozen lake spawn at 31,69 the reason is because you have a 25% chance of it spawning ontop of you and 75% chance of definetly seeing it alive if its alive for a few minutes because right underneath this spawn point is a crossroads in paths meaning 3 of the spawn paths it takes intersect here only one you will not see is the Brunnhildar spawn and patrol so if you have a second account that is where to put it.
6. My first TLPD took me 12 days and I never logged off, I set an alarm every 30 minutes to wake up and move my toon and while I worked My Fiancee kept and eye on things for me. However the second TLPD was killed within an hour of looking, so you must be dedicated if not it will be a long time before you see this thing more than likely.
7. The more rares being killed in Northrend will shorten Vyra/Tlpd spawn timer
8. This is just a few facts if you want more visit tlpdresource.com My buddy runs the site and all information is 100% accurate Sorry to offend but alot of people posting on here have no idea what they are talking about.
9. Happy Hunting and Good Luck.
Edit: Number of TLPD kills as of 1/16/12

Confirm Spawn point 39, 61. I was camping the Engine of the Makers for a while now, and then I changed my camping spot to 39, 61. 5 minutes later the TLPD warning started popping from NPC Scan and he was right below me heading east. This was at 1:50AM server time, which for my server is Pacific Standard Time. Hope this helps anyone still searching for the TLPD.

I've been camping at Bor's Breath for months after seeing his corpse. Someone just flew past me on the mount, I whispered if he just got it and he did, right round the corner. Probably 2 seconds before my NPCScan went off...
He said he didn't even want the mount but killed him anyway. I hate players like that. He even knew that so many people lust for the mount and thought it would be funny to annoy me with it afterwards.
Thanks very much. :(

Server: Lothar
Date/time: Jan 19 2012 4:42am Server Time
Location: Waterfall Spawn
Just 3 hrs before.. i sent my second account out to kill all the rares in Northrend. I killed about 13 rares. Then Putridus the Ancient spawned at 4:38am. I sent my second account over to kill him. Downed him at 4:41. One minute later TLPD Spawns! I die from falling damage.. come back and down TLPD by Frozen Lake.
I have TLPD on 3 toons now.. one big thing I HAVE NOTICED is yes.. killing the rares SEEM to force TLPD to spawn sooner. Also about 90% of the time either Vyra or TLPD will spawn 1-3 hrs after Putridus the Ancient (From Icecrown) spawns (if none of the Northrend rares were killed in masses). 9% of the time vyra/tlpd spawned a few hrs before Putridus. and that 1% you get the luck I had. Right after Putridus is taken down.

Finally found TLPD right where all the paths cross after about a month of looking for him. Got him at about 8:11 PM server time. One thing that I personally noticed was that most of the spawns for Vyragosa it was close to the top of the hour. Typically saw her spawn between 2 minutes and 25 minutes past the hour and consistently killed her shortly after spawning. Also, with seeing her spawn the most, I wrote down where she spawned from and most of the time it was from the frozen lake. Again, this is what I saw and noticed personally and after writing down the spawn times and places for about a month, I started to see a trend. Hope this helps some of you, and good luck!

Got it today, very lucky though.
I was looking for the Storm Peaks Elders when I came across him, I was near Frosthold then.
NPC Scan warned me, so I aggro'ed him to the nearest mountain, killed him and got the mount :D
My heart was seriously pounding out of my chest, I was so happy I got him :D
Good luck on farming him guys!

he is still around. i use npc scan and overlay. found him a week ago, all by chance, in the snowdrift plains. just out doing the jc daily and he flew above me and npc went off. for those looking he does fly quite high up, took a min to find him even with the target. all a game of chance. still is a very nice looking mount tho.

WOOT just got mine at 5:28 pm server time on Hyjal, took two days of camping and having hubby's toon at Uldar spawn spot which is where he popped! In between were only 3 spawns of Vyragosa 9:28 am, 5:10 pm, and 12:10 pm.

I've been camping spawn site 31,69 for about 4 days now. I've killed Vyragosa 3 times. But the strangest thing is i had Putridus come up on my NPC scanner early on the first morning and thought it was a glitch because it wouldn't target him. 2 days later the same thing happened again. I was alt-tabbed, heard the noise and thought, yes it's the TLPD this time! Only to discover it was Putridus again, but this time it Targeted him. I did a wowhead npc check. Found out he is in Icecrown, flew over there. And 1/2 way into the zone was Putridus, this fecking huge thing that set off my NPC scanner from a whole different Zone. Very annoying, and has gotten my hopes up twice now.

I have camped for quite a while recently hoping this thing would show up to no avail, but I shall keep camping till I get this...
A few things to encourage some people, especially if your a leatherworker/skinner
1. There are 4 actual spawn points according to TLPDResource, I was at the Brunhildar spawn last night about 8:45 pm EST and Vyragosa popped right on top of me (Not going to say my server so that people don't take my spot, it's usually free tho lol)
2. Make friends with the people at the other spawn points, it helps a lot when you camp and have somebody to shoot the breeze with as well as maybe help each other by telling each other about the spawns you happen across.
3. Since there are 4 spawns there's a 1/4 chance that when Vyragosa/TLPD pops it will be at the spawn your at
4. If you are a LW/Skinner kill the dragons near you while you camp (if your by dragons), you can create drums of the forgotten kings or sell the mats (This will keep you busy as you kill stuff)
5. Don't give up if your serious about getting this try to camp every day as much as you possibly can
6. The range of the spawn timer could be from very short to very long so if you need to go do something else, it's not a big deal... who knows by the time you go back you could have it spawn when you get there (This is what happened to me yesterday, did Violet Hold, Anzu, then went back and had Vyragosa pop on me within 15 mins of me camping)

OMG. I wasn't even looking at my screen and NPCscan went off. I thought it would be Vyragosa so wasn't in much of a hurry, but there he was! After two whole months (on and off), I HAVE THE TIME LOST PROTO DRAKE! Third time lucky!
Thought I'd share my spawn data since I started. I'm on Genjuros, EU.

While doing quests in the Storm Peaks area, I flew the paths of the TLPD, secretly hoping to be able to obtain the mount before my fiance. Even as a fully geared level 85 with full-speed flying, I occasionally abandoned this endeavor due to the obnoxiousness of the area map. Finally, one fateful night, I decided that tonight was the night that I would get the storm peaks quest achievement. No more fooling around, this was it; I only had 27 quests to go.
Twelve quests, a handful of dungeon achievements and an exalted faction later was when it happened. Flying from the Dun Nifflim to Frosthold, lazily following the all too familiar orange path of the TLPD, I got a pop-up from NPC-Scan! It couldn't be true, it had to either be a notification for Vyragosa or I was past the point of mental exhaustion from the hectic long work and school week. I looked again, my heart pounding, only to see that my eyes weren't deceiving me! I clicked frantically, hoping against all hopes to have one of the mounts that I knew would make my fiance jealous. After flaunting his repeated luck in the fishing derbies and achievements, I could finally have something that would make him steam.
My hopes were dashed only a few moments later, though. Sadly, as I got closer, I saw the shocking truth. There laid the time loss proto drake, already slain. As a leatherworker, I found the even sadder part to be that his corpse was not skinnable. This rare and majestic, oft-sought beast had died in vain. One day, we will meet again.
Just hopefully before my fiance finds you.
Here's a screenshot of the sad scene:

So there i am two weeks into camping this beast and finally it pops when im close enough! I get my mount in gear and rush off towards the target of my npc scan. It gets a whiff of my blood soaked armor and starts it's assault. I was able to dig in and ride my green drake to the ground with it hot on my heels. Once i dismount i take my position preparing for a the showdown I've been eagerly awaiting for what seems like a lifetime. I charge in with my maces thirsting for this creatures blood and land the killing blow only to find out some blasted orc dk used some instant cast spell just before i hit it... the kill was not mine. The TIME-LOST Proto Drake has surely lived up to it's name once again. Downed at 12:30am est on Zul'Jin. Vyragosa was downed before hat at 9:30am. 15 hours exactly and the wait continues.

Just killed him, 27, 53. Figured I would fly the standard pat one more time before I had to get off. As soon as I get out of the valley, NPCscan screams at me, and there he is. Quickly fly into him, and drag him to the closest mountain top, all the time worried of other players looking for this awesome mount. Dark Iron, 14:34 ST.

After over year of off and on camping, this beast of a mount is finally mine!
I was on youtube, looking up Time-Lost Proto Drake kill videos with WoW in the backround (I was camping at the frozen river where every flight path meets). While watching one of these videos I heard my NPCScan go off, and assuming it was just Vyragosa or Putridus again, I lazily opened my WoW window.
I was insanely suprised to see that NPCScan had picked up Time-Lost Proto Drake! Seeing it's portrait pop up on my screen nearly gave me a heart attack. I looked around and saw it coming towards the frozen river from the Engine of the Makers. I quickly flew over towards him, Moonfired mid-air, used a snowfall lager, gently floated down, waited for him to get close enough, and 2 hit mangled him. I killed and looted the corpse, Reins of the Time-Lost Proto Drake!
The feeling of having something you've wanted for months right in a clear path in front of you is indescribable, as I flew closer and closer to Time-Lost I became utterly speechless and so over excited I felt like zero emotions, just the instinct to down the f*cker before anyone else.
After killing Time-Lost, I figured I might as well try Utgarde Pinnacle one last time for the Blue-Proto Drake, since I was feeling pretty damn lucky. I killed Skadi and BAM! Reins of the Blue Proto-Drake! I got them both in the same day within the same hour!
Anyway, feeling damn good right now. All I have to say to any campers still out there is KEEP CAMPING! It took me well over a year...but it WILL spawn for you eventually, DON'T GIVE UP!
Realm: Moon Guard
Time-Lost Proto Drake down at approximately 4:27 PM ET
Reins of the Blue-Proto Drake aquired approximately 4:43 PM ET
Good luck everyone!

Just the other day my NPCscan went off. OMG could it be! My eyes weren't deceiving me. But, alas the poor dragon had just been slain. So, today it goes off again! This time it was Vyragosa. OK I thought I needed it for Frosbitten Ach. Down to needing 3 for that one. I'll get the mount someday (I keep telling myself). Exodar Realm 1:30 PM realm time 2/13/12

New Possible Spawn Discovered : Hunting Log & Kill. SS :
http://i39.tinypic.com/s4nipl.jpg
US - Rexxar - Horde
Vyra - 11:15PM EST–
Est spawn: 5.A.M. EST
Server restart
Vyra - Killed in Brundilar - 6:02 PM EST
Est Spawn: 12 P.M.
Vyra - Frozen Lake – 1:45 AM EST -sigh
Est Spawn: 7:45 AM – Woke up at 7:30 to ensure coverage
Kill:
11:30 AM – While covering all 4 spawns constantly with eagle eye knowing it would spawn soon, while hitting Ulduar spawn – I decided to check for dirkee’s ulduar ravine spawn – and picked up NPC Scan alert, thinking it was Dirkee – It was Time Lost. In a huge panic, I look around using eagle eye – NOTHING. Then I hit escape – I was @ frozen river, NOTHING. So I quickly mounted up and flew toward the frozen wasteland based on ulduar spawn and there it was.
There is an unknown spawn area based on this information. I 100% can say it did NOT spawn at ANY of the 4 locations that are currently known. It DID however end up being ON the Ulduar flight path. Killed @ 28, 46 in Storm Peaks, NPC Scan picked up this odd spawn NEAR 37,42.
Which means it could only have been on the spawn point my character was standing on – which did NOT happen. Meaning there IS another spawn point somewhere that is currently unknown.
-Hunting Notes / Background Story:
TL;DR
- I missed it once while showering.
-I missed it once while at work (Logged in and witnessesd him being killed)
I am a hunter and discovered this using /cast !Eagle Eye to constantly scan all of the zone for rares.
Knowing the last spawn is crucial - especially gives an advantage over others hunting.

Been hunting TLPD on and off for a while. There are two characters (assuming it's someone dual-boxing) that don't understand proper camping etiquette. If someone is at the spot first, then you move along until you find a vacant camping spot.

If you see either of those toons online, feel free to crowd their camping spots.
cheers.
**UPDATE** After directing him to some TLPD hunting resources, he understands the stacking issue is not cool. He's moved on to another spot. Thanks.

i got my time lost proto-drake at the footsteps on surfang realm. had been camping for it on and off for 2 months. had'nt logged on for a week because of work so decided to just follow the flight path on the off chance. just hovered at the footsteps while i made a nice cup of tea and while doing so the NPC scanner went off, thought it must be vyragosa as id seen it dead before here, maybe my time to kill it!. then saw it was'nt at all. OMG, all that camping was for nothing as the time lost proto drake flashed up, well i just tagged it and looked around but where was it? PANIC ! could not see it anywhere, it must have passed under me. well i followed the flightpath in the direction i thought it had gone but nothing. LOST it AHHHHHHHHHHHH. i didnt see anyone around as it was only 12.30 in the afternoon and most players must be at work or at school :) so i decided to wait for it to come round again, fingers crossed. sure enough it did. was still tagged from me so went after it. followed it for a while looking for the best place to take it down, needed a good place to take the snowfall lager and engage it. spotted a high ridge. that will do nicely, flew down then took the lager and remounted only to find it had gone again AHHHHHHHH, not now please :( then spotted it again, still no one around so thought not gonna loose you now, so engaged it. lager had worn off! oh well so waited for it to fly low and went for it. got knocked off my mount but was very close to the ground so only lost half my life. the rest was easy, i now have my prize. i used my lvl 85 warrior. dont give up on getting yours i didnt and it payed off. i think it helped when there are less players about. i thought at night would be best but not the case for me. dont know what time it spawned but i do know what time it died LOL. good luck with your hunt. :)

Dear Time-Lost Proto Drake
I've been looking for you for over a month, spending 6-12 hours each day. Why are you afraid of me? I've been looking for you since I saw you on wowhead, and I know a lot of people are hunting you down. You're probably exhausted. I got some cookies if you want some. It's quite easy for a mage like me to make unlimited cookies. No more hunting for food. If you're interested, I'm waiting for you at Bor's Breath, just North of Frosthold.
I promise if you show yourself to me, I'll be mounting you all the time, and people will always stare at you forever.
Think about it.
Sincerely,
Cronics - Magtheridon, Alliance

Whilst in the Storm Peaks hunting for Iron Dwarves for my JC daily, (in fact, I was in their little camp) NPCScan went off telling me TLPD was up. I was able to target, but could not see the focus selection on the mini-map, so I assumed he was really MOVING. Which he was. I flew down to K3, where I finally did see him below me. I tried aggroing midair, and fell to my death. I rezzed, it was thankfully right near the GY. Flew back at half health, and he was just past K3. I was able to death grip him in mid air, and only fall a short ways, without dying.
This is the first time TLPD was out of range and yet still alerted for me. Good luck to all other hunters.

Hi, Everyone!
I am pretty new to hunting TLPD just wondering if anyone from my realm has seen this mob and can help me out with where I might be most likely to encounter it? I have NPCscan, etc.. just looking for additional resources or tips, any productive input would be highly appreciated.
Thanks all,
Mike, AKA Haythere.

I suggest having a slow fall of any kind.
This makes engaging him all the more easy as you don't have to aggro from a cliff and your only real concern should be if he's over the uldum-canon thing.

I happend to kill Vyragosa, and my friends say that if u kill her it's lika a little chance that TLPD spawns 6-12 hours later, is that true? Some people say that you can control the spawntimer.

Oh, the irony that I would find and kill the Time-Lost Proto Drake on the morning that we lose an hour due to daylight savings time.

24 hours straight camping and nothing yet....Killed on Vyragosa, Guildie killed another one, killed a dirkess, and 3 Skolls....arg...
*Edit* sorry I didn't express myself correctly, i meant I had seen 3 skolls. I always leave them there since I'm a Hunter myself. I don't kill them!

i found time lost proto drake this morning when i logged in he was by the Brunhildar village spawn point server Turalyon (time 9.05), i tagged him and started to follow him and tryed to get him down to the ground. I followed him until he came back to the spawn point and killed him there. So he do not despawn if he fly all around

Worst timing ever. I've been farming this thing everyday for 2 months, I go afk for 1 minute to get a drink and he spawns at my camping spot. He flies over me and an alliance kills him.

Hey guys, Just killed him on US-Duskwood. Kill time 6:46 eastern server time He spawned @ Frozen Lake 30, 60 and went right up to engine of makers, making his way up mountain to Ulduar path. I killed him between Engine of makers and mountain Aprox. @ 41,53 he was about 60 feet in air at that point. He does move fast Luckily im a frost dk with master flying :)
Best method imo is just pop into storm peaks every so often and hang out for 15 -20 mins. I actually logged on took quick fly around and settled at frozen lake. he actually spawned while i was alted out lol luckily i was alone in SP and I don't alt out for long.
My lucky week Aeonaxx sunday morning and now tlpd this morning.
Total time lost...about 6-8 hours

Just got mine by accident. I wasn't even looking for it. I was at the Mechano-Hog vendor deciding if i should craft one, when i look up and see it. I was following it and deciding if i wanted to switch to my main and kill it, but then a dwarf hunter came out of nowhere and almost tagged it before i did. I'm so glad i got it first. lol.

Well after 7 days, I got him. And I am pretty sure I now understand how it works. Though I know everyone on here says he does not follow any other timers, I am 99% sure that Vyragosa/TLPD share a timer with Putridus the Ancient. From what I have seen, either Vyragosa or TLPD will spawn within 6 hours of the Ancient spawning (which you can tell when he spawns from anywhere in Storm Peaks if your using NPCscan).
Below is my data. Keep in mind I was alone and had no help, so I camped one spot and one spot only the whole time, so I am sure there were spawns I missed or didnt hear about. That being said I was camped at 31, 69, note how often they spawned right on top of me, so in my opinion this is a great spot.

I hope this helps someone as reading on here helps me all the time, of course I can't promise anything but in my opinion they share the same timer with PtA. Oh one last thing, if you do kill TLPD, announce it in General Chat, sucks sitting around when he was killed somewhere else.
P.S. I can't reply on here yet, so to answer the question below. About half way down is a ledge that sticks out facing the lake. I sat there. When the spawn in that location it's just behind you and up on ledge. So you can just turn and shoot before he gets over the edge.
P.S.S. It really is sad how many people vote useful information down, I mean do you not want others to get it? is that why you vote it down. Nothing in this post could hurt finding TLPD even if you don't agree with it, it wont make you work harder or in the wrong way, just gives you the option of trying something else. Anyway, I stand by what I said, I know others have used this and it matches for them as well. So good luck to all of you!

He literally spawned on top of me above the lake at Bor's Breath. There is a clump of trees near the top of the south-eastern mountain face at the frozen lake, I watched him come OUT of the mountain right by them and started flying down towards the lake. I had him tagged and killed pretty much instantly. Since two other paths seem to go over the lake as well, it seems to be a very good place to camp.

HOLY JEEEEEEE,,,, I am so dang lucky! OMG I still can't believe that, I was there finding herbs and flying around, and suddenly my NPCscan alerted me with this dragon. I didnt even know he will drop epic mount! I thought just some random rare armory, but ok, I flied close to him and attracted him, stopped at the edge of the mountain killed him, here I got an EPIC MOUNT!

Believe it or not but yes, somehow spawn timer for Putridus and Vyragosa/TLPD r connected.
Was camping on Bor's breath just north of frosthold, Putridus pops NPCSCAN. Killed him, get back to spot and within less than 35min Vyragosa flew around the corner. Will stay and watch till next few Putridus spawn.
Edit: Lol what kind of looser downgrade all comments?:O)

When they came to the Same Spot from where they killed it. It is still There. It was.. Well They killed it on Saturday and found it again Monday Next week. So I wonder how much time it spawn (re spawn)

The Time-Lost Proto Drake is an extremely rare mob found within The Storm Peaks in Northrend. He shares spawn points, flight route and spawn timer with Vyragosa. The simple fact that the Time-Lost Proto Drake shares a spawn timer with Vyragosa, means that one or the other could spawn, however there is an approximate 4% chance that the Time-Lost Proto Drake will spawn instead of Vyragosa. I hope you find the information below useful, and I wish you good luck hunting your TLPD!
Requirements
飘雪窖藏啤酒
- For Slowfall, if engaged by Melee in flight.
The ability to wait up to 18 hours at a time.
AddOn - NPCScan
AddOn - NPCScan_Overlay
Spawn Points
The Time-Lost Proto Drake and Vyragosa have four spawn points between them.
These are: Frozen Lake , Waterfall , Ulduar Ravine , Brunnhildar .
Each spawn spot shares the same 25% chance of a spawn on that particular spot.
My Method
The method we've exercised and been successful with is the Solid Spawn Camping method.
You will need to choose a spawn spot that you want to be your new home until you find your Time-Lost Proto Drake.
You will fly to this spawn, and remain there until your Time-Lost Proto Drake spawns and you have your new mount.
"But that sounds boring!"
It's the most effective method exercised by ourselves and other players. It is a bad idea to go flyabouts unless the zone is entirely unpopulated with members from your faction.
Known Facts
- Vyragosa or TLPD can spawn as soon as 45 minutes after the most recent Vyra/TLPD kill, this has been recorded and evidence of this can be found online.
- There is no fixed spawn timer for Vyragosa or the Time-Lost Proto Drake. So no, they won't spawn every 6 hours, or every 12 hours, it's random. It could be 4 hours, it could be 24 hours.
- Vyragosa and Time-Lost Proto Drake share the same four spawn points found around the Storm Peaks.

finally got mine an hour ago, i had 3 accounts~ one at the forzen lake spawn point, one at brunnhildar and one at the ulduar spawnpoint.
here the kills i recorded:
04/10/2012 - 03:35 am Vyragosa
04/10/2012 - 08:25 pm Vyragosa
04/11/2012 - 01:40 am Vyragosa
04/11/2012 - 02:30 pm Vyragosa
04/11/2012 - 10:40 pm Vyragosa
04/13/2012 - 08:43 pm Vyragosa
04/13/2012 - 02:45 am TLPD
All times are recorded in German time which means EST + 6, I also had a one day break as my grandma passed away on the 12th.
I got double lucky as I also finally got the Camel Hoarder Mount + Title at 11:40 am today =)
As for other people saying it's connected to Putridus personally I don't think so at all. At first it seemed that way as I had killed Putridus twice and shortly after Vyragosa spawned but for the majority of my kills Putridus had not shown up in days.
I had way more kills on Vyragosa and even seen TLPD spawn on top of me (sadly with other ppl tagging it before me though as I was tabbed out when they were not) than I recorded and Putridus just does not appear to be connected at all.

Here are six Consecutive Vyra/TLPD spawn points and timers on Bloodscalp EU:
8:40 - Vyra - Frozen lake
14:20 - Vyra - Frozen lake
22:20 - Vyra - Frozen lake
/probably a missed spawn between 2 and 4 AM, my laptop went dead in this period/
13:51 - Vyra - Frozen lake
19:05 - TLPD - Frozen lake (I was 20 yard further than some dude, it spawned in the lucky bastards face, so I almost cut my wrists)

Okay, I got this after a three-day continous camping, sometimes with two accounts.
Server: Bloodscalp EU
Time: 3:30 AM
Here is a list of previous spawns:
8:40 - Vyra - Frozen lake
14:20 - Vyra - Frozen lake
22:20 - Vyra - Frozen lake
/probably a missed spawn between 2 and 4 AM, my laptop went dead in this period/
13:51 - Vyra - Frozen lake
19:05 - TLPD - Frozen lake (I was 20 yard further than some dude, it spawned in the lucky bastards face, so I almost cut my wrists)
Then 3 more vyragosas, did not check spawn time
My TLPD - Frozen Lake - 3:30 AM
I've got quite a story behind this kill, as when it spawned, I was watching a movie. As I frantically tabbed to wow, my PC started to freeze. I popped Ctrl-alt-del, killed the bugged process, followed mob, stunned ally hunter, survived fall, pulled TLPD, all in 5 seconds... Oh and I avoided a heart attack for sure.

If you're serious about getting this mount, there's really only one option. Camping. Regardless of what you've read, camping is the only smart thing to do. Think about it. There are 4 spawns, and the Time-Lost can travel either clockwise, or counter-clockwise. That being said, if you're out patrolling the routes, it could spawn immediately after you cross a spawn point, and you'd completely miss that. Depending on how populated your server is, if you fly away from a spawn, you'll more than likely not even see it, let alone kill it. I camped Storm Peaks for about a week, and got my TLPD kill. I made the mistake of doing patrols, and missed multiple kills. If you're camping a spawn, you have an automatic 25% chance of getting the kill. By far, your best bet is to camp Frozen Lake. It's a popular spot for a reason. Both the Ulduar and Waterfall spawns go straight to it.

I have been grinding the Argent Crusade for several weeks and I always fly from Dalaran to Argent Tournament Grounds with a brief fly-through at The Foot Steppes. I also do this while doing the dailies once or twice. I did this every day and am almost done.
At around 8:00 PM before maintenance day (Bliz had actually given us advanced warning this time) I decided to fly to the Tournament Grounds so that I'd be there when logging on and save a little time when the servers came back up the next day. I only needed 10 more valiant seals. As usual, I flew through The Foot Steppes and the NPC Scan alarm went off. I was flying through that one spot where Frostbite is stationed and I hurriedly looked around for the proto drake. Even these days, there are several people who are out there hunting him and Vyragosa so I didn't want to waste time.
I soon spotted the proto drake flying over Gimorak's Den, heading upwards towards Terrace of the Makers. I flew right through him, he came after me and I was able to kill him with a couple of Smites.
The thing to remember is that you're not just trying to predict when the TLPD will be there, you also have to find him before anyone else does. The main point to my story is that I picked a time when the probability of others looking for him was very low. The evening before maintenance is when everyone's sitting in Stormwind or Orgrimmar all maxed out on valor, justice and rep with no ambition left except for trade chat bickering. It might also help to know that Vyragosa spawned the next day at around 10:00 PM. At least, that's when someone found him and killed him. I was flying back to the Tournament Grounds after a raid.

I have looked at the loot stats for this drake. Is it really true that Time-Lost only drops mount 98% of the time? That's absolutely awful. So, you can camp for weeks, months, even years and see him taken by others over and over again. You finally get your kill and there is a 2% (1/50) chance that you won't get the mount? This is why people end up on ledges on tall buildings.

OMG I have been camping this on and off for about 20 days!. I finally just got it 5 min ago (4/21/2012 10:05 PM).. IT exist on Garona server for me WOOT.
Bye bye storm peaks! and I was flying between Bor's Breath and Waterfall and saw it flying there not too sure which spawn point TLPD Resource is Awesome!
A little more on my story. So for the past 20 days I just camp there and log in whenever I can. I don't really spend all my time there. I completed all the quest in Storm Peaks while waiting for TLPD. I killed Vyragosa 3 times and skinned him twice (some one else killed it). All of which appears to happen between 3 to 6 hours of each other. I say 3 but it is mostly 4 and half hours.
Key points is to make friends and whisper those who are camping. Just tell them to be kind to message you if they do happened to kill it. I did that and only a few responded saying that they killed Vyragosa around what time. That gives you a break to come back around 3 to 4 hours later. So I was dreaming about this mob for days and it being Saturday I decided to camp it all day. I started my camp in the AM and saw that there was a Dranei Shaman on my favorite camp spot (the Abandon Camp area). I waved at her and tried to ask her but was ignored. Her on her Winged Guardian mount were all stuck up. So I just started patrolling between Bor's Breath and Waterfall. Occasionally going to Ulduar spawn point. I was thinking yea it will spawn there and I will be the only one to agro it.
So around 4PM NPCScan went off and I found a dead Vyragosa by Bor's Breath. and no Shaman in sight. So I thought she must have killed him. Flew down and skinned him and then camped. At around 6:30PM I decided to log on early and start camping. The Dranei Shaman was not there this time so I just camped at my favorite spot. Then around 7pm she popped up and instead of moving to another camp spot, she decided to stack on top of me. What a b*tch. I decided to just fly around and patrol and then camp at Ulduar. And I decided to do a few rounds of BG while waiting. After about 2 rounds of Arathi Basin, I flew back to my favorite camp spot and lo and behold the Dranei Shaman was there and it looks like she was also doing BG as well cause she disappeared and reappeared after a while.
I did 1 more BG and thinking to myself what if TLPD pops when I am away.. but just shrug it off. I had decided this is my last time camping for this mob. I need to get to 85 and start getting gear for Cata dungeons and raids. After the BG was over, I saw the Shaman missing. So I decided to fly towards the waterfall and then Bor's Breath. On my route to Bor's Breath, NPC Scan went off. and There he was.. The Time Lost Proto Drake!
No amount of Don't Panic comments I have read will make me not panic. I flew into him and trying to agro him like I did with Vyragosa.. But at 84, I dont do any agro. Out of habit and I typed a /who instead. I dont knwo why I did that. But there was no alliance in Storm Peaks. So I followed TLPD to the Abandon Camp.. and not realizing I have been saving up 14 Slow Fall Larger for this event and have a macro ready for this, I dismounted by a high point and started shooting at TLPD. Down him easily and was worried that he would fall in a spot that is hard to get to. ( I had that happened to me once with a Vyragosa kill). But it died just on the edge of my rock. I loot it. learned the Reigns of the Time Lost Proto Drake and was yelling in my guild that I just got this mount. As soon as I mounted up, the Dranei Shaman showed up. A blood elf hunter showed up as well and they both targeted the dead drake and saw me on my mount. I waved at the Shaman and trying to be nice I told her where I saw here and how long ago. I was responded back with an immediate Astral Recall. That B*tch!
Anyway, happy hunting guys!

Camping has been discussed in detail. So, I won't mention spawn points, camping techniques, spotting experiences - none of it.
I will say that none of this matters if you see the Time-Lost and don't know how to take it down. I tried to find information on when, and how, to consume snowfall lager. There was little said about the technique. So, I bought a bunch and practised. This is what I do because it feeds my OCD appetite.
Mounted, or in flight form (I am a Night-Elf Druid) I can dismount and start falling. I then drink the snowfall lager (YES you CAN drink while falling) then I hit a flying target with one of my instant spells. This works really well. The exact order is as such...make sure you have the lager on your bar so you can click it easily:
1. Fly close to Time-Lost Proto Drake (no aggro necessary)
2. Target Time-Lost Proto Drake
3. Dismount
4. Drink Snowfall Lager
5. Hit Time-Lost Proto Drake hard and fast until it is dead
I can say this because I am an 85 Boomkin with ilvl of 389. I can kill most things in Northrend by looking at them. But I'm sure the principal should be the same for most high-level players.

Just got my Time-Lost Proto with my Boomkin, Jaxvondamien, on server: Uldum. Camped at 29.9, 65.8 since April 13th (My birthday) when I finally got Aeonaxx.
Most useful resource was a website on Hubpages by lothar97. this person gives VERY detailed descriptions of spawn points and camping sites.
The trick to kill, for me, was:
Fly close but not close enough to aggro. Dismount so you are falling and immediately drink Snowfall Lager. THEN target drake and hit with instant cast spells. Easy to say as a Druid (Moonkin) but not if your toon doesn't have this ability. I did spend weeks practising this technique on drakes on the NE side of Temple of Storms. I would suggest anyone else do the same. You get to know how fast you need to be to make it work.
Oh, I should also mention that I killed Vyragosa, for the 3rd time, at 6:30am Pacific. I came back and made my Time-Lost Proto kill at 1:57pm Pacific.

Ok guys i have some hints tips and tricks to nabbing this mount
A) be dedicated and camp all the time
B) hope luck is on your side
C) prey that no one else is in the area doing both a and b
the way time lost and vyro work is completely random...in every aspect. there are reports of viro's spawning no more or less than an hour apart of each other and at a maximum of around 12-14 hours...also reports of back to back TLPDs spawning in the same day up to 3 times in a single 24 hour period.
any discriminators within the coding to allow for more viros to spawn aside from TLPDs is suggesting that these 2 dont share spawn patterns (as far as timers) at all, if viro and TLPD do infact share a spawn timer of sorts than the choice of which one is spawned is random and not affected by the other (the one who didn't spawn)...its called the gamblers falicy and is true with all occurrences that have different outcomes...just because viro spawned 20 times in a row doesn't mean that tlpd will spawn soon..they still have a 1/2 chance, past occurrences do not predict future events, and thus viro spawns for the 21st time no matter how unlikely the math behind it is (to you).
this and aeonaxx follow similar patterns and can be claimed multiple times in a week or not at all and the only information confirmed by blizzard on these 2 is reiterating my point
these 2 are a random chance
and the only thing confirmed to affect their spawns is server maintenance/resets

Ok ya'll. I got him last night. I've only been trying for 2-3 weeks, and I got him. (This isn't BS, it is true. I never even post comments on these things, but am now).
OMG; here's what I went through...
I used this article herein, and also "
http://www.wowwiki.com/Time-Lost_Proto_Drake"
, for my initial research, and then committed to camping. (A friend of mine about 1 month ago, asked me how to get this cool looking dragon that he saw, and it all began).
THAT IS THE KEY ... COMMIT TO CAMP, for HOURS on end. You've got to be willing to give up EVERYTHING else in WoW, and just CAMP. (Luckily for me, I didn't ever complete all the Storm Peaks quests, so I sometimes left my camp and went questing nearby ... but always felt like I was going to miss him).
I basically just followed the wiki tips, and after about 2 or 3 weeks (I think it was that long ... because I definitely 'Lost Track of Time' while hunting him), I got him. Here's my personal suggestions etc.:
- If you don't have some kind of slow fall capability (e.g. Priests Levitate), make sure and get a few. (Again, the aforementioned article talks about such things, namely "Snowfall Lager",
http://www.wowwiki.com/Snowfall_Lager
).
- I primarily camped in Storm Peaks at coords 29,66 (Below and a little left of Temple of Storms ... basically at the Frozen Lake).
- YOU MUST install the add-on named "_NPCScan", found at
http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/npcscan
. Once installed, go into the games Interface\AddOns of _NPCScan and setup and test the alerts. I found the default Horn to work best for me.
- Also install the overlay (It is a route map of the rare NPCs), found at
http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/npcscan-overlay
.
- While camping, go into Options and turn off the game music and the game Ambience, but blast the Sound. (optional of course). This worked best for me because I'm not zombie enough to sit at my desk and wait. So I'd be watching TV or doing some kind of errand, and just wait to hear THAT HORN. (well ... streaming something from my Roku actually, because I gave up cableTV and don't have DirectTV yet).
- I'm hardly ever even home; I don't play all that often (but when I read about this rare drake mount, I got a bug up my polearm). I would camp for about 30 minutes in the morning during a weekday (while getting ready for work); and for about 3 to 5 hours at night on weekdays; and on weekends it varied greatly; but sometimes I'd be waiting to hear that horn for 6 hour intervals (periodically moving the mouse of course; I haven't yet created an auto-mouse-mover).
- I also found that the TLPD's partner in crime "Vyragosa" indeed spawns "in random routine" with him (again, read the aforementioned article). Over the approximate 3 week span, I either killed or found the corpse of Vyragosa about 4 times.
- Read the _NPCScan note about how you have to CLEAR YOUR CACHE after you find a rare NPC; it is just the way the app is written, so just clear your cache after each time you find Vyragosa ... or for that matter you may find the TLPD but may be beaten to the kill by another player (it amazed me how they came out of the woodwork), so you would then want to clear your cache. Otherwise the addon won't find that NPC ever again. (Delete all data inside of "C:\Program Files\World_of_Warcraft\Cache", or where ever that cache folder is on your computer).
- I personally believe that the TLPD spawns approximately 8 hours after Vyragosa gets killed. But I could be way wrong; it still could of course be extremely random. The reason I think it is that short (8 hours or so) is because I have experienced such a duration twice during my tenure.
- DO NOT get discouraged if you lose a fight with another player in killing the TLPD. This specifically didn't happen to me but, once, I logged on and IMMEDIATELY the horn blasted but I couldn't find the TLPD flying nearby. Then I spotted him on the ground, already dead.
- Which also reminds me, I am not sold that _NPCScan is truly proximity based. Some NPCs are minutes away; you will see. So ... if the horn goes off and you don't immediately see the TLPD, pick a direction and fly. And this is one reason why you want the Overlay addon, to help track him.
- So ... on a Sunday night at about 8pm EST (approximately 7 hours after I saw the corpse of Vyragosa), RIGHT before I was going to hit the sack for the night (I'm old), I figured I'd log on real quick and see if I found any more corpses or anything. THE SECOND I LOGGED ON, the horn went off ... and this time, the add on displayed the name and picture of the TIME-LOST PROTO DRAKE. ... So after a heat wave of sweat and adrenaline rushed over me, and a whole bunch of repetitive "OH MY GOD"'s, I got squared up, calmed down (a little) and starting eagle-eyeing the immediate skys. And boom, there he was, FLYING AWAY FROM ME, headed South of the Frozen Lake. *If I logged on not 3 seconds later, he most likely would have been out of my vision, and I then would have had to crap shoot to decide which of the 3 paths to fly down. So then, I get to him and start buzzing his azz (all the while PRAYING no other players were camping nearby). And he doesn't flinch. I'm sticking my Eagle-mount's claws in his freaking eye balls, and he isn't flinching; just keeps plodding along. This continued for what seemed like 5 very long minutes as he strolled counterclockwise through and past Frosthold. About 4 times I was able to land and get in range to shoot at him, and HE STILL DIDN'T CHANGE COURSE. When finally!, while almost full circle along that particular pathway, directly South of Temple of Storms I was able to land and was in range enough (again) to hit him, and he finally took the bait and came at me! Well, that was it! I did it. I got him. Right? Uhhhh, NO. I took him down, killed the %#$%@, ... and then he falls AND GETS STUCK ON WHAT COULD NOT HAVE BEEN A STEEPER SLOPE. .................................. Yah ................................... (In other news, it is known to some that it is almost 30 minutes before the TLPD's corpse will disappear, giving you plenty of time to loot him - IF YOU CAN UNMOUNT). So, I then came to find out that it is basically impossible to loot while mounted .... or also while slow falling down through him, yada yada. I googled like never before, hit up all guild members for tips, ... oh, and of course, then other unknown players starting appearing at the corpse, "offering their help" in looting him. Bait not taken ... even though I'm quite sure they would have failed also. I did find one possibility if I was an engineer, but I wouldn't have had the item anyway. So... approximately 30 minutes went by, and his corpse went bye bye. By this time, I made my peace with God, and I was calm as a cucumber. :-) Not really.
LUCKILY, Blizzard came to the rescue. I simply opened a ticket, pleaded my case (I assume they checked logs), sent my screenshots, and went to bed. The next morning (same morning as I write this little novel), I had a reply. Not only did they mail me the TLPD's loot, but they were super nice and admittedly super "jealous". LoL.

Time-Lost Proto-Drake has four patrol paths. I don't know where does he spawn but 3 of his patrol paths meet in Bor's Breath. I think this is the best location to camp this guy.

After a week of Camping in Bor's Breath I finally got him. Time was 1700 server time on Gul'dan. He came up on npc scan but still took me a few minutes to actually track him and get him. He was flying South towards Bor's. I just flew through him to aggro him, landed and my cat and I took him down quickly. Now I just need to help my wife get him. Getting this mount is an exercise in patience.
Good Hunting.

Hello again everyone.
So I've been camping for about 4 days now or so. And I've gathered some information.
5/12: Time lost found dead, 12:29 am server time by Frozen Waterfall.
5/13: Vyragosa found dead at 8:33pm server time. In Bor.
5/14: Vyragosa found dead at 9:10 am at frozen waterfall.
I haven't really caught onto a spawn time, which leads me to believe that there really isn't a spawn time anymore as in Cataclysm.
BUT! What I have noticed, I have had Putridus spawn 6 hours before each spawn of these dragons, which I find slightly weird? Literally each time, I've had npc scan pick him before the dragons spawned 6 hours after.
Something to look into to maybe?
server: kel'thuzad
Character name: Kaepora.
whisper me if you have any questions!
Also, I've been thinking about camping here:
http://i45.tinypic.com/kdk5mw.jpg
http://i50.tinypic.com/1y60xc.jpg
Because of the fact I can see all spawn points from here, and if he were to spawn, npc tracker would get it. Also, NO ONE has camped here and I think it's brilliant, I can see frozen waterfall, frozen lake and steppes, all the important places!: )
So I think I'm gonna camp here for a night or two and see how it goes!

Blarg... a week straight of camping 9 hours solid each day (WoW is up while I work from home), with a few hours thrown in here and there. Never even seen TLPD, dead or alive. I'm camping Bor's, and making a circuit around the zone once every hour or so. No luck.
I dont want to give up though. Between this and the Oracles, its my only real shot at having a proto drake mount.

Just found this guy yesterday after tabbing back in to my AFK self in K3. He'd spawned at the Bor's Breath location, I assume, and the NPCscan profile was up, but I couldn't see him anywhere. I frantically followed his path for a minute or so before finding him and claiming my prize.
I guess this is fate rewarding me for the grueling 8-10 hours I spent camping every day for Aeonaxx.

I just picked up the time lost proto. I guess I am lucky and probably going to receive a lot of hate for it but I watched a video about it etc, watched the map and camped one spot for all of 1.5 hours and was planning out how I would stay logged in while sleeping and hear the alarm go off.. As i was describing it to my friend on how I would do it, i heard the alarm, and sure enough the time lost proto was sighted and flying right at me. 1 shot him ofc with only 18.5k hp on my ret pally and hit the ground with 40% hp left after fall damage, looted and bragged. :) My heart was racing like you wouldnt believe and now I have the drake I was prepared to spend days/weeks camping.

I killed TLPD 21st of May around midnight ST, Nordrassill-EU.
It took 10 days of regular camping, since 11th till 21st of May.
Hunting tactic. I was hunting this mob by using two accounts. Thanx to Blizz for free 80, given by new RS. I parked this toon at the spawn point near Frozen Lake. Second toon was my main. I was using this for patrolling Northrend for other rares to force TLPD/Vyra spawn. This is very essential point, 'cos it is known, that there is limited number of rares can be up. Northrend is deserted these days, so these things can hang around for hours.
Camping toon was up during evening times, sometimes at morning 'cos I do not have possibility to camp whole day. Usually it was up between 8-00 - 12-00 PM (server time). I was doing quick patrol by my main, checking 2-3 zones and log off, 'cos I wanted to play SWTOR or Diablo III (after 15th of May). My PC is not too powerful to run three game sessions.
TLPD was detected around 11-45 PM. Mob was slowly flying under Frozen Lake. I log on my main and it was most exited two minutes since my first Ragnaros-25 kill. My main catched TLPD near Abandoned Camp. I aggroed this thing by flying through the mob, landed and cast a couple Arcane Shots. That is all.
Information about Vyragosa and other TLPD spawns, which I can confirm, may be there are some gaps.
TLPD: 11.05.2012 / 11-45 PM (witnessed kill)
TLPD: 12.05.2012 / 02-45 PM (information from another camper)
Vyragosa: 13.05.2012 / 11-30 PM (killed by me)
Vyragosa: 14.05.2012 / 10-15 PM (killed by me)
Vyragosa: 18.05.2012 / ?-? (information from competitor armory)
Vyragosa: 19.05.2012 / 05-30 AM (information from another camper)
Vyragosa: 19.05.2012 / 08-30 PM (killed by me)
TLPD: 21.05.2012 / 11-45 PM (My kill)
Vyragosa: 23.05.2012 / 11-15 PM (dead body found)
Noticeable fact. I started to hunt after I witnessed kill of the mob around 11-45 PM 11th of May. Other camper informed me that he saw TLPD corpse 12th of May, around 03-00 PM, so it was very short period for two TLPD spawned one after another.
Also, during patrolling Northrend I killed and tamed several rare mobs, some hunter pets were given to other hunters. Don't remember exact number, but around a dozen. So, like I said, you have to kill other rares is very important.
One advise. Try to contact another TLPD-campers and share information about Vyra/TLPD. If they do not want or, belong to another faction, then mark their names and check armory from time to time. Why? ‘Cos it shows the loot, these ppl get during last few days. Drop of
Azura Dragonleather Helm
means kill of Vyragosa, drop of
Time-Forward Talisman
means that you missed TLPD.
I consider, that this is perfect time to hunt TLPD. It was 4-5 campers in the zone before 15th of May. Diablo III release deserted this place completely. I saw just one camper during next days. So, if you want this mount, this is good time to get it. Many people left game till MoP, some play beta and Diablo. If you play on low or medium population realm, go for it now.

I know no one has really messed with this for a while, but after a few days of camping and gathering info, I have noticed that the 6 hour spawn timer for Vyra is not true. Earlier this morning a guy from my server killed Vyra, and then exactly 4 hours later, killed her again. This isn't much info, but it will help reduce the amount of time some people camp because there is a very small chance that either Vyra or TLPD will spawn in an amount of time this less than 4 hours after the last death of Vyra or TLPD. Also, a for sure spawn point for Vyra is right at the waterfall. In the past 2 days, I have seen her flying down the river going counter-clockwise towards Bor's Breath. She has spawned there at least twice in the last 2 days.

Here's a tip for rogues that are farming this guy.
If you see TLPD, get near him and use Killing Spree. Even if you die, you will be able to loot. This is fast for rogues because of ranged classes so they wouldn't be able to tag it fast.
Also you need to be 85 :)
Have fun hunting

Camping at 31,69 is a good place, There's a nice cliff you camp at. And it's easy to see the Drake once it spawns there.

Ok first off I intend on telling you something useful in this.
First off I have to preface it with I have finally gotten my Time-Lost Proto Drake today.
That said here is how I did it and the details there in.
Realm: MoonGuard US
Camping time Started: 9:30am PST on 3/2/2012
Camping Time Ended: 2:54pm PST on 3/3/2012
Total Time Camped: 28hours and 28mins continuous no sleep minimal Nature brakes lots of coffee and Pepsi Throw Back and Loud Music to sing to.
First Kill: Vyragosa killed by me. Time:4:40pm PST 3/2/2012
Second Kill: Vyragosa Found Corpse minutes within a minute or two of death : Time:12:56am PST3/3/2012
Third Kill: Time-Lost Proto Drake Killed by me. Time: 2:54pm PST 3/3/2012
MoonGuard Realm time is 2 hours ahead of PST time.
Some one killed Skoll and Terror Spinner and that seemed to Trigger with in about 10mins the Time-Lost Proto Drake.
Addon's Used:
Silver Dragon (for Data Knowledge Mainly as it talks to other users and keeps data till you log out that you can see ingame.)
NPC Scan (See where the addon is scanning mainly)
NPC Overlay (see the travel routes of the rares)
A Side Note about NPC Scan-
On the NPC Scan site it says:
http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/npcscan
"There is one catch to this technique however: Once a mob is “found”, _NPCScan won't be able to find it again until your cache is cleared."
~This statement is in accurate, They don't know there own software if they couldn't tell you how to get around the need to clear your cache.~
Instructions to get away from having to clear your cache.
Here are the instructions on how get around this being needed.
Go to the menu Located in the little computer at the bottom in your UI
Then Go to the Interface menu
Then you will see two Tabs one of them say Addons click that tab
Then you will see an option that says: _NPC Scan Menu + Click the plus to dropped down
the full menu.
Then you will need to click on the option called Search. This will display a page to the right that says
Search for Compleated Acheives NPC's --Check the box next to it.
Now log out clear your cache as normal this one more time.
Log back in to game and check your work to make sure that the check box stuck.
Then fly to a place that you know you've seen a rare and see if it shows up on your Largest Map.
If you see the name of that Rare you've already seen in the little box in one of the 4 corners then you know it will continue to allert you every time you see a rare no matter where.
I mainly camped the same area,
30.1, 66.6
First Kill of Vyragosa was located at cords for Spawn and Kill
30.1,66.6
Second Kill the Vyragosa Corpse was just a short distance away from 30.1,66.6 this is as procise as I can get for you sorry I can tell you it spawned from 30.1,66.6
Third Kill Time-Lost Proto Drake Spawned at 30.1,66.6.
I killed this drake a bit further away as I had died trying to aggro him to the ground. Finally ended up Killing him at: 35.91,63.84.
I was double boxing( for those who don't know that term: It is the use of two seperate accounts at the same time on one computer with 2 monitors) I had a lvl 60 alt standing at the spawn Point 30.1,66.6. This didn't really make much of a difference just gave me a second set of eyes when I was flying the routes. Well My main was close enough that both alarms went off at the same time.
But TLPD killed my low level alt set off in a clockwise direction on the path then doubled back to make sure he was dead. Gave me enough time to get my main there and try to aggro him, Was dismounted and died. I took note of his direction(Counter Clockwise) and released got my body back went searching for him only to give up as someone else had gotten him do to not finding him. Well on my way back to the alt's location I found him going in a Clockwise direction again.
He had gone Clockwise then Counter Clockwise around what is shown in this link (
http://www.wowpedia.org/File:Time-Lost_Proto_Drake_paths.jpg?c=1
)as the Black loop about half way then doubled back to go clockwise back to the cords in which he was killed. He went at first toward 37.63,54.39 at least roughly before doubling back to where I found him and killed him at 35.91,63.84.
I found this odd as no where did it say these mounts would changed direction mid flight. I'm not sure where he turned around at however as I was furiously trying to find him after I had died. But I know he Changed Direction as before I released to the graveyard I took note of which direction he had flown in.

These sources might be useful to someone. They are mostly the same but a few details are different in each one and if you pick those out and use those it might help as long as they make common sence kinda logic.
I also did not need to use any of the SnowFall Lager that is taked about. I just flew around and through him enough that he got pissed enought to follow me to the ground. Then Killed him in like 1 attack. I do play a Blood Death Knight 85 fairly well geared in dungeons. To give you a point of referance.
Please for give any incoharancy and misspelling as I've been without sleep for 28 hours when normally I have to have no less than 9 hours a night to fuction. So I'm fired but wanted to get this out to you all so maybe it can help all of you who want this mount.
Thanks for listening/Reading my incoharent bable and Poor spelling I'll try and fix this later if I can. It just seemed improtant to me it get out here to you all.

Best advice I would give for those hunting him is trust your instincts. If you feel good he will spawn on a certain day, go looking for him. I of course did not do this. I went to Storm Peaks on an alt, and instead of camping him for about 30 minutes like my gut was telling me to do, I decided to screw around and stare at Ricket in K3. Sure enough he spawned right where I would have been sitting 5 minutes later and someone else grabbed him.
Over a year looking for him and my own stupidity cost me.

I got Tlpd on Hellscream EU at 14,18 server time. Tlpd spawned right infront of me at snowdrift plains after endless farming of stuffs, the funniest thing is that i only killed one vyragosa before tlpd ressed and the vyragosa kill was at 16.50server time ( the day before killing tlpd)
This is my story:
I was pissed off when i lost a roll to a firelands shared land mount, then i decided to go and hunt aeonaxx at deepholm but got fed up with it, then i started going to storm peaks for daily polar bear mount which still doesnt drop, and i wanted something very exotic, so i started reading wowhead forums about Tlpd and npcscan alerted, it was vyragosa spawning at the very edge of brunhilldar village, i killed it and started to look desperately for respawn timer of vyragosa.
I just killed time with my headphones on ears and watched some movies from tv, i know this is boring but its important for the story, after farming endless piles of valkyria at Valkyrion, i found a rare chest which had some trash on it, i looked up on wowhead the loot lists of treasure chests and luckily saw that they drop book of glyph mastery which is kinda cheap, anyways, i followed the map on treasure chest pinpoints, then when i got near the two Nidavelir chests, my npcscan got wild and my heart started pumping extra hard when i saw that it was Tlpd, i am a druid and a engineer so i have parachute, i dismounted my flying form and parachuted, i missed that much that i couldnt hit it with range spells so i quickly re mounted my flying form and then i spammed moonfire with mad rage and it got down and end of story..... Sometimes sudden moments of madness are productive.

I belive Vyragosa's (or TLPD's) spawn time is 9 hours because I killed her this morning at 6:04 A.M. Server Time and then saw her dead at 3:24 P.M. Server Time..
Finally i get to see TLPD after like 1 month of farming/camping... unfortunately he was dead :'(

I killed the time lost proto drake at 10:40 am on Mok'Nathal yesterday and after a bit of a headache got the mount today. As an arcane mage i tagged the mob yesterday with an arcane barrage while slow falling and killed it but when it hit the ground it fell through. This is a known issue with the TLPD however and I was able to have the mount sent to me in the mail after Blizz verified that I killed it. A tip to anyone hunting this mob is to keep at it and try to have it grounded before killing it as all flying mobs can glitch when falling out of the air and this makes them unobtainable to loot.

Hello, I just spent the last week non stop camping for this drake (aside from maintenance tues) and I thought I would share my experience.
Spawn times/locations:(rounded to the nearest half hour.)
Sat 3am- Ulduar spawn - Tlpd
Sat 12:30pm-Bruunhildar village - Vyragosa
Sat 9:00pm - Frozen waterfall - Vyragosa
Sun 5am- Frozen waterfall- Vyragosa
Sun 2:30pm- Frozen lake- Vyragosa
Sun 10:30pm- Ulduar- Vyragosa
Mon 7am- Bruunhildar village- vyragosa
Mon 9pm- Frozen waterfall- Vyragosa
Tues 6am- unknown (the guy wouldn't tell me where it spawned, just that he killed it. Might not be an actual spawn)- Vyragosa
Tues 1:30pm - Bruunhildar village- Vyragosa
Tue 10pm- Maintenance till 4am wed
Wed 9am- Frozen lake- TLPD IS MINE!
Here are some things I have learned during my camp:
- Time lost= 88 hours +more during WOTLK
- If you want this drake then camp 24/7 and it's almost guaranteed yours. Otherwise you could spend months on end trying to get it (as i did). Drink coffee. Having a friend help camp is a bonus.
- There is no spawn timer anymore. As of Cata the 6hr+ timer has been taken away. Tlpd or Vyragosa can spawn from 45mins after the last kill.
- Killing rares around Northrend double your chances of having Tlpd/vyra spawn. There can only be between 3-6 rares alive at one time so if you want one that isn't up to spawn ya gotta kill the others. Having a friend fly around constantly killing rares will potentially lower the spawn time of Tlpd/Vyra. DO NOT do this yourself as you will miss the spawn.
- If there is only a couple of people in Storm Peaks while you are camping then I suggest sitting on the nest at approx 39,64. This covers the bruunhildar, frozen waterfall, and Frozen lake. Of course if there are people camping at the spawn points then sitting there is useless. So only do this if there is less than 3 people in the zone camping.
- If there is 3+ people camping then claim your spawn point! The best spot is the Frozen lake spawn as this also sits near the frozen waterfall patrol. If no one is at waterfall spawn then they are both yours. The second best spawn to sit at is the frozen waterfall as this sits near the bruuhildar patrol. It isn't the first choice because people are always questing near Bruunhildar or camping for rare hunter pet Skoll, so there is a chance some random will snap up the Bruunhildar if it spawns, meaning you won't see it patrol around.
- If you have a friend that is avail to sit at a spawn, send them to Ulduar spawn, no one ever sits there and if you are the only two in the zone (as is the case at 4am) you can easily cover all routes.
- Should your friend get the spawn at Ulduar, have them punch it in the face (no weapon as you risk one shotting it, only 18k hp remember) and then sit there taking the hits till you can fly your butt up there and finish it off yourself. Try to make it so the char that wants the drake does the most damage. Also be sure you are in the same party before it spawns.
- Keep an eye on /who Storm peaks. If someone comes and camps for a long time chat to them and ask if they know when it last spawned. Charm your way into them camping a spot so you get more patrols coming your way. For example; If you are at frozen lake, ask them to cover bruunhildar. Since it won't come your way anyhow it's no loss, and that leaves frozen waterfall still coming to you! But don't tell them that :P
- Tell no one of spawns. If you can skin Vyragosa then that's fabulous. If you tell everyone what time Vyra spawned then they are likely to ALL come back in 6 hours to camp again. whereas if you keep it to yourself no one knows when it's likely to spawn and will casually check every now and then, reducing your competition when it is most likely to spawn. Also, lots of people will get impatient/bored if they never see or hear of a spawn and give up.
- Do not believe someone when they announce in general chat that they just killed Vyra/Tlpd. So many people do this to get rid of campers. A good way to find out if they really did kill it is to check if they looted a boe on armory. Just search their name and it should say how many hours ago and what they looted. If there is no loot from either drake then it's safe to say they are lying. Or try whispering them for the location of the body. If they don't tell you then stay where you are.
- Generally Tlpd/vyra spawns around 9 hours after the last kill. but don't rely on that info to get you the drake. that's relying on luck, and I don't deal in luck.
- Tlpd can spawn twice in a row or may not spawn for several weeks. It's just up to chance.
- Obviously Tlpd and Vyragosa share a spawn timer, so they can never both be up at the same time.
- If they are not killed within 15 minutes (I may be wrong about the amount of time) they will despawn.
- Park yourself on the spawn spot, so it will spawn right in front of you. Be sure to have a spell ready that does instant damage - no cast time spells, dots that take a moment to tick, or taunts that don't take hp off it. You want to tag that drake asap. You never know who is lurking about waiting to get the jump on ya!
- Don't stack at spawn spots, it's just plain rude. If someone is at a spawn move on to another one. If someone comes and sits on top of you at your spot, wait a minute or so to see if they fly away (often they are just trying to get a rise out of you. They know how on edge hardcore campers are), if they don't after 5 minutes, kindly ask them to find another spot. Or suggest they would have more of a chance if they camped an empty spawn. That generally works.
- Download NPC Scan and NPC scan overlay. Also download Silverdragon. NPC scan will alert you if either drake is near you (patrolling or spawning at your spot) and you can click on the model that pops up to target it. It will also place a green triangle raid symbol on him so it makes it easier to find. NPC scan overlay puts the routes they fly on your map. Everytime you log out/find a spawn of Vyra or Tlpd, Clear your cache. I do this by deleting the cache folder while i'm out of the game. It's found in your world of warcraft folder. If you do not clear it, NPC scan will not tell you next time it sees a spawned drake. And that is sad. Silver dragon is an addon similar to NPC scan except it uses mouseovers and targets to alert you of the spawn. Also I have found that occasionally NPC scan doesn't go off, so it is always good to have a backup.
- When your scanner goes off, try to remain calm (impossible I know!), click the model to target then turn your camera around to find where it is patrolling. The drakes are big so you will see them from far away. If you click the model and it doesn't target anything, stay seated for a few seconds, as it is most likely spawning at your spot. NPC scanner does this sometimes. So don't fly off in a flurry.
- Don't waste time aggroing then pulling to the ground before doing damage, this could lose you the tag. Get Slowfall elixers from Grom'arsh crashsite, for two relics of Ulduar. When zooming in to attack the drake, hit it with some damage first then use the elixer, otherwise you could end up slow falling away from your most sought after mount!
- Take up something productive while you camp. I took up knitting :)
- Watch the vids on this site for spawn points. tlpdresource.com/newmapsimgs.html
- Spawns= Frozen lake-31,69. Bruunhildar village-51,71. Frozen waterfall-35,76. Ulduar ravine-52,34.
- Vyra is blue, Tlpd is brown.
Happy Camping!

Just killed TLPD on my way back to Dal to log out to go to work after about 2 weeks of camping. Yay ^.^
Killed @ 8:37am (Fenris) by the frozen waterfall. He was leaving Brun and heading towards Bor's Breath.
Best of luck to everyone still searching for this mount xx

I finally got this lovely guy today after 19 days of camping between 16 and 19 hours a day. Very tired but so happy :)
Here is my data for anyone interested (I didn't record my first few days).
My kill 18:37 - EU Nagrand Server:
30.05.12 - 12:00 - Vyra
30.05.12 - 14:09 - Vyra
30.05.12 - 18:20 - Vyra
30.05.12 - 23:17 - TLPD - Brunnhildar Route
31.05.12 - 11:24 - Vyra
01.06.12 - 02:28 - Vyra
01.06.12 - 15:06 - Vyra
02.06.12 - 02:02 - Vyra
03.06.12 - 14:02 - Vyra
03.06.12 - 22:03 - Vyra
04.06.12 - 17:30 - Vyra - Brunnhildar
05.06.12 - 07:03 - TLPD - Spawned at Waterfall
06.06.12 - 15:24 - Vyra - Waterfall
07.06.12 - 08:30 - Vyra - Brunnhildar
07.06.12 - 14:30 - Vyra - Ulduar
07.06.12 - 20:30 - Vyra - Waterfall
09.06.12 - 09:40 - Vyra - Ulduar
13.06.12 - 01:23 - TLPD - Brunnhildar Route
14.06.12 - 06:20 - Vyra - Ulduar
14.06.12 - 18:37 - TLPD - Brunnhildar Route (My kill)
On seven occasions I was aware of Putridus (Icecrown) spawning nearly midway between Vyra/TLPD spawns (give or take a 1-2 hours either side)
On 07.06.12 I farmed rares around northrend on an alt and somehow, be it total coincidence, Vyra spawned at exact 6 hour intervals on the 3 occasions she spawned that day. I was farming most of the time between these spawns and on average killed 10-14 rares between them.
Also note, on 30.05.12 Vyra spawned 3 times in 6 hours, so don't assume that if Vyra is killed there won't be another spawn for a long time. TLPD also spawned the same day 5 hours later. So the gaps can be small.
I camped on a ledge just in front of Broodmother's Nest. From there looking down you can see 3 routes, plus 2 spawn sites and npc scan is triggered if anything spawns at Brunnhildar as the route flies just behind you (this is where I got my kill, as did the person who recommended this spot to me). Obviously this method is more successful on low pop servers where you can guarantee spawn sites aren't being camped.
I hope this info is of some help to those still looking, good luck, don't give up, it's worth it in the end :)

Killed Time lost near the Ulduar flight point (spawned from Ulduar spawn spot) Have been camping him on and off for over a year. Was heading to a spawn point to log off when he was heading towards me. Was unexpected, but I am thrilled I now have him :)
Not sure why there is down votes but whatever :3

I logged into my server (Sen'jin) about 60 seconds after server restart today and could not find TLPD or Vyragosa after reset. I checked at and around the 4 spawn points and didn't see either. I assume that this means they don't spawn after maintenance.

in my theory the reason it's called (Time lost proto drake) is because: the reason it's a rare mount is because it's a bronze proto drake, and we know bronze drakes are time travelers :3 this guy is lost in time! that's why he is rare! cause you know it's not always a random drake jut goes back and ends up a random place :3 this is my theory!

Managed to get this on doom hammer US today, took 3 weeks of camping averaging 6 hours a day on weekdays and 12-20 hours on weekends, I was originally camped at the frost hold spawn, then decided to camp at near snowdrift plains after about 5 hours at snowdrift plains i headed towards Ulduar and NPCscan went off, after 3 long weeks of camping i managed to snag TLPD with no one on the server in storm peaks except me, very cool mount and great if you can find it!
Vyragosa kills: 16
Also saw dirkee & Skoll a lot but left them so hunters or someone else could get them.

I found the Time-Lost Proto-Drake today.
For those who wish to obtain this rare mount, here is what happened:
I flew into Storm Peaks - 10/07/12 at 5:00 server time
exactly
. I flew along when I noticed _NPCScan went off. I thought it would be Vyragosa but when I checked I stopped still mid-air and I'm pretty sure this expression sums up what I was thinking -> o_o
I found it at the Frozen Lake next to Bor's Breath - if you don't have any ranged spells to aggro it, then just do what I did and fly straight into it - it should then focus on you.
Also, I had seen Vyragosa dead the day before - I'm not sure if that'll help, but the info's there for anyone who wants it.
Good luck if you're camping the TLPD! My tips would be:
Keep yourself occupied.
Sitting around staring at a screen all day isn't fun.
Take a break now and then.
It won't spawn every day, so just relax!
About camping
- Don't go and camp for it if there are a lot more players camping. You might find it, fly towards it then some punk will kill it right in front of you. Don't. Just don't.
Have a helpful add-on.
If you're searching for rares, _NPCScan is probably your best shot at finding one easily. It will alert you when one is nearby, and _NPCScan Overlay allows you to see a rares paths/flight paths.

First ever comment =P
Okay so it's been 2 days of camping and no luck, but I been getting lots of comments on when and etc. It should spawn. Been camping the spawn spots where it isn't show in over lay ever since, I decided to stay up for one last night instead of waiting for the day. A few hours before, don't get me wrong.. My newly made friend ended up tagging Time-Lost flying back around to Bor's Fall. I stayed in my spot and didn't get lucky in his spawn :[, But.. I was glad he got it and the fact I know he's real. ;D
Surver: Feathermoon
It's the 3rd night now..
Few mins later i'm arguing with a friend over if I should stay any longer or not.. Then suddenly out of the corner of my eye there he goes. Ironic, and very luck too, didn't have NPCscan downloaded yet and this is the middle of the night, so /who.. Nobody was here! xD
Local Time, Eastern time- 1:52
Surver time- 10:52
He was flying over the corner of Bor's lake next to the cave going toward the village heading to Snow Drift Plains. He prolly ended up spawning from the wall over the falls for all I knew. Sorry to say.
So after shutting up I had a heart attack and without thinking I went and tagged him.. He dazed me off my mount and like any idiot would, I died. Lol, I should have put on levitate since I was a priest. >_<"
Lucky enough nobody was here, got back my body and went to go tag him again on a ledge so I wouldn't die this time, killed him in under a min and in a place nobody would see unless they flew right over him new the village.
So i'm so happy I got him now and planning to make a collection of proto drakes since I already have green drop from the daily cache in random heals/tank on my pally a few months back. ;D All I need now is the blue proto drop AGAIN, on my dk.. I saw it drop I swear but I didn't have flying like a noob and it auto passed on me since the patch. Was so angry and been farming ever since, no luck yet..
Hope this story helped!
I would link some pictures but again first comment, no linking yet, i'll remember to link it later when I get the priv.
I am now camping Aeonaxx spawn with my newly installed NPCscanner and hope I get lucky, 1st night nothing yet e.o"..
Lol

Last Summer I was camping this guy for about 2 weeks and he finally spawned on Dunemaul. When he spawned my NPCscan went off at around the Temple of Storms. I looked and looked but i couldn't find him then, about 1 min later I found his body with a human paladin over it. I got literally screwed over.

Blood Furnace server times are Eastern. Got him today by K3. Here's my camp Thursday 7/12 Vy spawns at 8:34pm eastern by engine of the maker. Next spawn I catch is7/12 Vy at 8:35pm eastern at Falls, 7/14 8:31 am log in "just to check" NPC scanner goes off, TLPD. Spend 10 minutes flying around looking for him having panic attack while 2 year old keeps dismounting me. (thank you for a low pop server) Caught him by K3. Now one happy hunter!
Also while I was on which was from about 8p eastern to midnight or so, saw Dirkee 5 times and Skoll 2 times. PTA only popped once the first night...I don't know if he was up or not with other sightings... but thats who I saw while camping.
Good luck to everyone trying for him!
Now to start over on alli server >.<

I would like to share with all of you one of the greatest tales of all time when it comes to the Time-Lost Proto Drake. This is the tale of "My Time-Lost Experience" taking place on realm: Alleria
I was in Stormwind one day doing the the normal chilling and talking trade bs when I suddenly came upon another player mounted on the Time-Lost Proto Drake. I immediately thought the mount was extremely cool and asked him where he had gotten it. The next thing I knew I was following him around the Storm Peaks and talking about how to catch this mount. As he explained how to camp the mount all I could think was "god this is a waste of time, I would NEVER camp that long for a mount". However I decided to camp a bit that night just too see how lucky I would get. Later that night Vyra spawned and I killed her, it was a small rush and I enjoyed it. I decided the next day I would camp again, and again encountered Vyra. At this point I decided I was going to get this mount. I work 40 hours a week so I would camp roughly a minimum of 8 hours a night when I got off and on the weekends about 18 hours a day. This went on for about 2 weeks and no luck. The first week I didn't have a really good shot anyway because another guy was camping by me and he had been there first so I knew I would have to give him first dibs if it came. So about two weeks in, there I am camping, and someone yells in general "I GOT IT", I fly over and sure enough he had slayed the beast right there in the Engines of Makers area. I little disappointed but I at least had seen the damn thing now. So I started a heavier camp regime. I started to camp nearly 24/7 minus 6 hours of sleep on weekends and about 9 hours on weekdays. I as now at about a month and 1 week of camping and tlpd hadn't spawned (that we knew about, I am sure it did, as you will read further down) in about 10 strait days. Then it was 15 days, no one had seen TLPD that I had talked to. In the mean time I had killed roughly 20 Vyras. So we get to Sunday, I had recorded about 6 Vyras at this point in time and knew her spawn time well. I am sitting out there on a Sunday at Bors Breath, which was my spot I camped the whole time, and some girl comes up and parks directly on top of me to camp. As I explained earlier, when I first stated this endeavor, I was told that it was not cool to stack on people, so I didn't. I even went so far as to basically accept that if tlpd spawned and a camper was there that had spent longer than me, I was going to let him have it. So anyone this girl stacks on me and refuses to move. The next thing I know she is summoning people, and 3 other toons all of the sudden pop out of the summons. They were all her accounts to help her get TLPD. She then explains to me she just killed him on Friday night (hence why I hadn't seen one in a while) and that she was now going for her 8th TLPD between her 10 alt toons. Her 8th! I didn't even have one. I got pretty upset but I refrained from being nasty I just couldn't believe that she was out there for her 8th, she had killed it 2 days prior, had 4 accounts to monitor all spawn points, and stacked right on top of me casting aoe spells every 5-10 minutes hoping to aggro TLPD before me. Anyway we had some choice words and eventually she says listen, I have 7 of these, I guess I will help you get your one. She tells me she is going to move to the Waterfall spawn and she would summon me if it spawns. Not even 10 minutes after she moved NPC SCAN/HEART ATTACK IN YO FACE! And its guess who.... TLPD. She pst me "Hurry up get back here" I mount up, I am nervous, excited, ready to kill this drake after spending nearly 1 1/2 months trying to get this damn thing. I start to see the horizon, I am nearing in on the waterfall where she has TLPD waiting for me. The horizon starts to form a picture I see her standing there and... WTF... she had it dead at her feet. She then says "HAHA that's my 8th, sorry man you shouldn't have been mean to me about stacking on you!" I couldn't believe it, It was pretty disappointing. Again I didn't get nasty, I just asked why would you do that? She said "because I wanted my 8th, sorry and ignored me" The next day I posted up again and wouldn't you know who would show up again. She again shows up, summons her 4 alts, and stacks directly on me casting aoe spells every 5-10 trying to aggro the drake before me........ Are you kidding me. This time I blew a fuse and lets just say I was far from nice to her. After seeing the drake get butchered in front of my face and her coming back for her 9th something happened. I snapped, I had changed, I was a new man burning with the fury of the Time-Lost Proto Drake. I decided enough was enough and I would get this drake if it was the last thing I did in life. I stocked up on Mt. Dew, made bed out of a recliner in my computer room, and got some movies to watch. I had to work one day and of course while at work TLPD was killed again. By now it was Thursday and I had the next few days off, so I started up again. I literally did not leave bors breath for around 29 hrs when it happened. I had a friend pushing rares for me when all of the sudden... yea your guess it... HEART ATTACK/ NPC SCAN TLPD. I had practiced all week to stay calm when this happened and of course as soon as it did what did I do first thing... Freaked out! I didn't see it pop at my spot, so I began to frantically fly up, down, around, in circles, everywhere. My mount speed seemed to be as slow as I had ever seen it. No one was in the zone but it never stayed like that for long. I flew back to waterfall, no drake, I started to head back to bors counter clockwise when I ran into the drake head to head. It was our time to dance. I threw a heroic throw, fell a bit and used snowfall lager to kite me down to the edge. I slayed that SOB drake right then and there and got my mount! It was glorious. I was trembling after I caught him and killed him. In the end I thought, wow all that for a mount in a video game..... man it was worth every second! So here are my tips sorry for the long story hope it was dramatic enough lol.
Best camp spot is bors breath in my opnion and if no one is in the zone, there is a next right around the corner from bors breath that makes a perfect camping spot.
TLPD will typically spawn every 5-8 Vyras and pushing rares helps A LOT!
Communicate with other campers and spawn Storm Peaks general about when Vyra was last killed or TLPD.
And if you just commit to camping 24/7 you will almost certainly see it within just a few days max.
Also you don't have to have multiple accounts, it can easily be accomplished with just one like I had.
Also, I am going to list the character names of the girl that stole the drake from me. If you see her camping please stack directly on top of her and spam aoe spells every 5-10 mins. If she tries to out muscle you like she did me, contact me and I will personally come help by sitting on her spawn point and spamming aoe spells every 5-10 mins. Feel free to be a complete ass-hat to her at all costs and trust me she is not a very nice individual to begin with.
Her toons names are as follows
Ævelyn
Uncleted
Xaly
Xvia
Islodé
Worganizm
All but one have TLPD I believe lol.
My toons name is Retlaw if you need help please contact.

While reading the comments for some tips for camping (more so to pass time) i came across the comments suggesting the theory that Vyra very often spawns near the hour, realizing it was about 10:34 that a new hour is closing in and this may finally be my chance. I have killed 3 Vyras in about 2 days on my server and she ALWAYS appeared at the exact same spot. Coming from the waterfall into the frozen lake, dying right before the mini waterfall type thing. so reading more comments i wasn't paying any attention to the time. When bam npcscan gives me another full on heart attack. It was Vyra. I was dissapointed until i realized what time it was. 11:01. I was shocked that this theory might be true so i took a look at my other 2 recent Vyra kill screenies and videos.
Kill #1: 5:56pm
Kill #2: This was an amazing one for me. I was playing a game on Not-Doppler when i heard NPC-scan go off and there he was...Putridus. I was very upset that this behemoth almost killed me once again until literally about 5 seconds went by before i could click on putridus' image bam npcscan goes again.(this time my headphones were off, thank god) and Vyra shows up. Same place as before and i was amazed that these two spawned so close to each other.
Anyways time:3:20
Kill#3: 11:01
Still waiting for TLDP but I know with a little patience and perfect timing I'll get him...someday.

Went to Storm Peaks to tame Skoll. Flew out to the frozen lake and was sitting at 30,65. The TLPD spawned right behind me and attacked before I knew what was on me. Parachuted down while shooting him a few times, finished him off right after I hit the ground.
Didn't want this mount on my hunter. Had never camped for it, and wasn't even thinking about him when he spawned. Just about pissed myself.

I actually found him completely by accident when I logged in at Bruunhildar to do my bag daily. Saw it flying at the very edge of the village,thought to myself "...holy..." and murder-I mean...borrowed him.
My suggestion is to be occupied with something else instead of actively looking for him.May save a bit of frustration.

Antonidas, 5:09 PM server time spawn, 5:11 kill. Spawned at Bor's Breath, flew up canyon to frozen lake. Level 82 DK. Four days camping, four Vyra kills, one Dirkee kill.
I was camped above frozen lake at that spawn point when NPCScan popped. Since it wasn't on top of me I figured it must be on the other side of the hill, and it was, within mini map range. Flew down to the first drop off from the frozen lake and intercepted. Got within range for a DG, drank a slowfall lager...and somehow I lost target.
Panicked a bit, floated all the way down (getting Going Down, lol), remounted, chased it south as it flew through the harpies. Tried DG again, succeeded, but missed the hilltop I thought I would land on and fell, knocking me down to about 1000 health.
Panicked a bit more, hit defensive cooldowns, hit Death Strike, picked up three harpy adds, sacrificed my ghoul when it showed up, killed the TLPD, looted it before the harpies killed me...except they didn't kill me, because the cooldowns were still up. Disposed of harpies, flew to Dalaran, exhaled.
Happy to have it even though I don't deserve it :D

A few years ago, I was determined to find and kill this mob, so I camped Storm Peaks 24/7 for 35 days. Whenever I killed Vyragosa, I believed I had six hours to kill before anything would spawn again and would log out or go to another zone to do something else. To my chagrin, I discovered I missed killing the TLPD when it spawned two hours after I had killed Vyragosa. After that, I gave up. Periodically, I would fly through the zone, and once or twice, I would see its corpse. But I never put forth the effort to camp it again.
Fast forward to the present. I helped someone with the Amphitheater of Anguish and decided to go to Storm Peaks afterward. I found TLPD's corpse on the ground near Brunnhildar Village. Something in me lit up in that moment and I decided to camp this mob again. But I wasn't going to be as "hardcore" about it. I would only camp him at night by sleeping an hour at a time so I could wake up, move my toon and prevent it from going offline, and then going back to sleep. As you might imagine, I was very sleep-deprived, especially when it reached eight days and I still hadn't seen any sign of the drake.
The first time I had tried camping this drake, I had deleted my cache every time Vyragosa spawned. Each time the alarm went off on NPC Scan and it wasn't TLPD, I died a little inside. So this time around, I cached all the rare mobs in Storm Peaks by flying around. I found them all within 24 hours... except TLPD. So I knew when my alarm went off the next time, it would be the mob I wanted to see.
Someone had said at one point that TLPD seems to love spawning between the hours of 2 AM and 4 AM. I have no idea how true this is, but the night I originally missed killing the TLPD, he spawned at 4 AM. Tonight, he spawned at 4:01 AM again at Bor's Breath. I was amazed by how fast he was traveling! I was easily able to catch up to him, but he still covered quite a bit of distance in the time it took me to mount up (I was camping Shadowmelded) and get to him on my Hunter. I thought to tag him in the air and float down using a Snowfall Lager and was startled when I saw his corpse fall past me. I had one shot him!
Just as I was looting the mount from his corpse (which caused me some anxiety because it wouldn't let me loot the mount for a moment), a player of the opposite faction flew overhead and stopped. If I hadn't killed TLPD as fast as I had, this other player would've gotten him for sure. So if you see this mob, don't hesitate or take time to turn on FRAPS or grab a screenshot. In that tiny space of time, you could lose the tag.

So last Sunday, I was doing some of the quests to get Sons of Hodir rep on my 85. I was flying back to the Argent Tournament to turn in dailies after I finished. I alt tabbed and was browsing the internet. I tabbed back in and was flying into a mountain. My rare scanner picked up the Time Lost Proto drake. No one else was around, so I flew over and kill it and got the beautiful mount. One of the luckiest things that happened to me to date. (I got a warglaive and a battered hilt the same week.)

Ok, while hunting for the TLPD, i found dirkee, and killed him, but five minutes later, npcscan found the TLPD, so i believe that if you find and kill dirkee, search around for the TLPD, hope this helps!

I've recently started my camp for TLPD about 12 hours ago. In which time i have seen Vyragosa spawn twice. Yes, thats right....two times. So with my decisive mathmatical and decuductive skills that brings the spawn timer to a wonderus 6 hours per spawn. This number seems to generally agree with the posts on this page so I will attempt to keep this post updated here. First spawn was close to 5 PM August 21EST with her spawning just north of Frost hold and opposite Uldis traveling east along the high ridge. While the second time was pretty much 5 AM on the dot August 22 EST traveling west flying low along Bor's Breath. If it is true that she shares a spawn timer with TLPD then I shall take my que here and sleep for the sake of my sanity. One can only hope right?
* Wednesday, August 22, 3:45 pm EST (1545) Military. I spot Vyragosa spawn again just outside the entrance to Valkyrion slowly making her way down Bor's Breath. Wether or not she would of gone south or east is unknown as she was quickly killed on the spawn by fellow TLPD campers who were eager for some blood. EIther way, about 19 hours active camping with no TLPD sighting so far.
* August 22, estimated time 6:05 pm EST (1805) Military. I find myself flying past Ulduar and over the Temple of wisdom in my continuing searth for TLPD when out of nowhere a gigantic NPC spawns behind me. My camera was set to 50 yards behind my toon and I found my camera was following me within the NPC. I only knew it was there as it came out the sides. Clicking on the NPC it suddenly dissapears on me before i can read the name. As you can imagine my mind was running wild about what in the world it could be. So finally after some debate I decide to give the spawn points a quick look over with NPCScan Overlay to find myself Dirkee near the Temple of Life just hanging around along the east cliff. Obviously I was all to happy to kill the little bugger and feel like something got accomplished... But yet again I go back to waiting for Time-Lost Protodrake to show his ugly mug. (that name is far too fitting for this thing...)
*August 24, estimated time 12:00 AM EST (0000) Military. I came back from raiding to the storm peaks to see a tell of someone downing TLPD, naturally im sceptical. Afterlying north of Brundillar Village I feel my heart skip a beat as NPCScan goes off, only to find TLPD's corpse lying next to the cave just south of the Engine of the Makers. I also find out I missed it by 5 minutes or so. So you can imagine how I raged a little...to myself of course, I'm not gonna say a bunch of crap to someone else just because they did what I would of done. Anyways, im gonna skip tomorrow most likely and probably go back to campin it out late saturday....Wish me luck...if anyones reading this anyway.

Finally got the TLPD today 24.August.2012 @ 7:03am, on the south side of the the Temple of Storms flying counter clockwise towards The Engine of the Makers. The funny thing about it is, I had just woke up to get my kids ready for school only to notice that I was killed during the night by an alliance toon, so I rezzed and flew back to my camping spot and when I landed my npcscan went off. At first I was like "yeah whatever!", because It was either Putridus or Vyragosa, then I saw Time-lost Proto Drake and I was like hell yeah! :D
My camping spot was at 37,71 on the ledge facing towards the waterfall. My Npcscan's range always detected Vyragosa when she was coming from the waterfall in front of me, when she was flying above the Brunnhildar Village behind me, and when she was flying by the Tower of Storms, to the right of me. It's a really good spot. I have been camping for 11days. Mainly 24hrs, or damn near 24hrs everyday. I have killed Vyragosa a ton of times, along with Putridus, Dirkee and Skoll. Anyways, Today is going to be a good day lol! Now to get Poseidus!
Good luck to all still camping!

Got him today, 8/25/12 at 3:18am server time on Rexxar, US. Found at 51,31.
Had been in the area flying his route for about an hour. Been camping off and on for years. Had to wait for him to fly to a location to down him. Hope this helps anyone in their endeavor.

Today, 8/27/12 at 1650 Server Thrall-US I spotted the corpse of the TLPD. I do not know what time it was downed. I could not find the corpse specifically, my NPC-Scan popped for the corpse forcing me to clear my cache. I stayed in the area for a further 10 minutes and the body as far as i could tell had not despawned in that time frame as it was still targetable. hope this is helpful to others who are still attempting for this mount. Location was midway through Bors Breath, i do not have the exact co-ordinates

Ok, Well this is my story.
Me and the wife have been getting bored of LFR for the last while and since MoP is so close to release, we figured we would just start collecting mounts. Felt like the only thing that wasn't a complete waste of time. We decided to split up, She would Farm the TLPD and i was gonna farm Aeonaxx. 1 Full week of Aeonaxx Camping with 18 hour shifts and when she finally popped i was in the kitchen tidying up. Came back to see npc finder lit up and Aeonaxx long gone. The wife, in this same time line had been camping the TLPD for the same time i had been in Deepholm. When her TLPD finally spawned, she was about 100 yards away from it when a dwarf hovering above her tagged it first. She was as devastated as i was when Aeonaxx was yanked away from me.
I had effectively given up on Aeonaxx, 18 hours a day for a week straight just to miss her by 5 minutes is insane. The wife feeling the same way about her loss gave up on TLPD. Feeling lucky, about 3 days after those events (today), i decided to camp out the spot around 30, 66 and can you believe it, it spawned about 50 yards away. Easy Peasy right?
Heart pounding out of my chest, hands shaking, cant think straight, I fly over and getting ahead of myself i drop a judgment on it to tag it, not thinking " hey, im 75 feet of the ground"....annnnnd....DEAD......."NOOOOOOOOOOO"....im losing my mind at this point, did i just seriously lose the TLPD because i forgot to bubble before the fall?.....I scramble at the spirit healer, jump off the cliff and thank god, i was only 10 feet away from my body. I mount back up and book it as fast my my 310 + crusader arua thing could take me. Luckily i was the only one around so i was able to catch my mistake in time. TLPD got about 200 yards away from me during my death/rezzing but i caught up, tagged it, (bubble this time for the fall) and this baby was mine.
When i died the first time i could have slapped myself in the face, i had been going over and over what i would do when TLPD spawned...i said it over and over in my head..."tab....judgment.....bubble....claim prize".......thank god the second closest farmer was near ulduuar during my escapade.
Useful Info.
- I am a believer in the fact that there are about 4-6 vrya spawns before the tlpd, even with it being RNG it still averages out to be about that many
- camp directly on a spawn, flying around is just gonna lower your chances
-camp near the harpy's since its close to 2 spawn points and 3 paths
-
Time of kill was 12:05 server time
(which helps support the theory that a lot of spawns come near or on the hour)
-
Point was about 30,66
Ps. Id like to thank the 2 alliance players that were nice enough to cheer me on after my kill rather then /spit /slap /duel /pissallovermyface after they missed out. Good sportsmanship

F*CK FLIGHTPATHS..................
I was flying from the Argent Tournament grounds to I can't remember where - and as I was going through Storm peaks - the Time-Lost Proto Drake Raid message smacks me in the face...
So I immediately /exit. Log back in - and begin searching for him - nothing yet...
This is the LAST time I am taking the %^&*! flightpath in Outlands or the Lich King Lands because it never fails anymore - since no one is ever there - I hit a rare mob everytime I fly. That's 3 in 2 days that I have missed and couldn't find because I was stuck...
There should be an "eject" button for the flightpath mount that launches you in the air and floats you down so at least that way you can snap into action right then and there...

Since last patch (5.0.4) anyone else has noticied an increased respawn ? It has been killed 5 times on my server in the last week ! Almost 1 per day (verified kills). I've killed him today in the north respawn (near terrace of the makers), I was waiting for that respawn and got luck with him.

Been camping this guy for about a week on Shadowmoon-US, and I finally got my Time-Lost mount :D
I sat majority of the time near Bor's Breath/Bor's Fall but sometimes I decided to patrol Storm Peaks(quite a bad idea, but I did it anyway), I managed to find Vyragosa and tagged her 3 times, twice near Ulduar and once at Brunnhildar Village.
Now back on topic about TLPD;
I CAN CONFIRM THAT IT IS POSSIBLE FOR HIM TO SPAWN TWICE IN A ROW!
but this is a
VERY
x10 slim chance due to what we already know of TLPD(him being a spawn of a spawn of Vyragosa).
The first time my NPCscan went off, he was found dead near Valkyrion on September 3rd, ~12:50PM EST. I died a little insane for half the day but decided not to gave up so I continued to camp near my two camp spots. Almost 10 hours later after clearing my cache, my NPCscan goes off again and it was TLPD going the same route !(Coming from Ulduar spawn) and this time no one was around and I managed to tag him for myself ! This was on the same exact day I found him dead at noon; I can confirm that he was killed by me on September 3rd, ~10:45PM EST.
To everyone that is still trying to get TLPD, all I can say is to keep being patient and you will eventually get yours ! It sucks seeing him lay there dead knowing that someone else got it and you were there just a little late. But luck was really on my side; I could not believe that it spawned again the same day and also from the same spawn point. Regardless, happy hunting to everyone :D Time to go get Aeonaxx !

I made an account just to note my findings (US-Executus):
- Watched someone kill Vyragosa at 7:41 pm on Sept 6
- Found corpse of Time-Lost Proto Drake on Sept 7 at around 11:40 pm (the body disappeared within 10 minutes of me arriving there)
- Around 5 hours later at 4:40 am I sadly watched as someone shot down another Time-Lost Proto Drake
As a note all 3 kills were made by people from other realms. I will continue my search and update with anymore sightings! Good luck:)
Update #1:
Sept 8- Vyra @ 10:21am - Temple of Storms
Sept 8- Vyra @ 10:31 pm - Waterfall
Sept 9- Vyra @ 4:17 am- Temple of Storms
Sept 9- Vyra @ 10:06 am - Waterfall
Sept 9- Vyra @ 9:03 pm - Temple of Storms
Set 10- Vyra @ 4:41 am - Waterfall
**Sept 10- TLPD @ 10:52 am - Brunnhildar Village**
The above Vyragosa kills were all made by me and it seems to be on a 6-hour timer ( I can only assume I seem to be missing the one around 4 pm each day but I can not confirm). My camping partner (and if you read this thank you so much for all the help so far!) found the body of the TLPD this morning so our search continues!

I am 99% sure I saw the TLPD the first time I was ever questing through storm peaks. I didn't know it dropped such a rare mount so I didn't want to risk dying killing a level 80 elite at level 77. Every time I think about this it haunts me.

I promise myself I'll help other campers when I got this beauty.
First of all, camp in Bor's breath for it. I'll tell you why later. I camped first 2-3 weeks in Ulduar and only kill'd a few Vyragosa.
I camped Ulduar cause nobody els camped there...but bad move from me. Time-lost don't have any spawn-rotation it's completely random! In bor's breath he have 3 spawns, so the chances are higher if you camp there.
While I camped Ulduar I've seen a few Time-lost corps in bors breath, I didn't change spot I camped Ulduar...I thought if I leave this spot and change spot it will probably spawn there. After 6 weeks I change spot to Bors breath and change realm. After 1-2 weeks there in bors breath I finally got him! BUT! I kill'd him on the mountain so he died on the side of the mountain so I couldn't loot him. IF this happends to you, try pull a npc near Time-lost and loot! Thank god for aoe loot! If you want to see that epic moment when he was on the side just comment.
Here are some spawn time on Time lost/vyragosa if you are interesting only when I changed realm. (Swedish time)
12:30 - 09/02 Vyragosa
16:15 - 09/07 Vyragosa
16:22 - 09/08 Vyragosa
19:11 - 09/09 Vyragpsa
12-16 - 09/12 Vyragosa
20:46 - 09/12 Time-lost
10:11 - 09/14 Vyragosa¨
01:09 - 09/15 Vyragosa
23:33 - 09/15 Vyragosa
~22:30- 09/16 Time-lost (Mine!)
Spawn points for Time-Lost & Vyragosa! (I'm not sure about what way they take in Brunnhildar village. I may have wrong about what way they take everywhere. I know where they spawn. He may have a spawn near engine of the makers...I cannot confirm this cause I've never seem him there.
http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/5039/timevyra.jpg
I've only seen 2 time lost when I changed realm.
I think I camped ~9 weeks for it.
IF this comment get alot dislike I'll delete this comment! Good luck with the hunting!
Edit! * Spawn time is 3 to ~22hrs. Time-lost share spawn time with Vyragosa and skoll! So if you see any of these you can take a short break.

September 18th 2012 at 2:55pm SERVER TIME
I logged on my account around 12:50pm local time - 2:50pm (Server time)
my character was already at Bor's Breath so I waited 1 minute at Bor's Breath and got bored so I flew to where Skoll spawns at 46.2,65.0
I saw that someone had already killed Skoll and his body hasn't despawned
so by knowing a little about how Blizzard works by reading up I know that rares normally share similar spawn times so I figured I might as well fly back to Bor's Breath. I noticed some horde character around Bor's Breath (he must of been asleep) because
I saw the Time-lost flying away in the distance at 26.6, 59.0 flying towards Snowdrift Plains
. I chased after him from where I saw him from Bor's Breath, I caught up to him got up in his face and he started to attack me so I brought him down and killed him at 27.6,57.0... sadly he died on the side of a mountain where I couldn't loot him :/ so I opened a ticket and I received to quickest response EVER from a blizzard GM. He noticed I killed the Time-lost so he gave me the mount in the mail. But I told myself if I ever caught him I would share my story and the times I killed him.
I heard that the Time-lost is on like a 3-4 day spawn time ( but don't quote me on it. Look it up to make sure)
I killed him at 2:55-58pm Server time (Not sure of the exact time I was pretty side tracked but a good ball park estimate)
I killed him on Tuesday September 18th 2012
If he spawns at Bor's Breath (I'm not sure If he spawned there or not because I was where Skoll spawns at the time) he fly's clock wise
He may spawn next on Friday September 21st around 2:52pm server time (But who knows its a random spawn time) but Happy hunting I've been hunting him for 7 months!

I've been camping this thing for so long now x.x With the Storm Peaks being a cross-realm zone now, it doesn't matter when I log in; there's always at least 12 other people camping it at any one time.

Might be a dumb question, but I haven't found the answer to it anywhere.
I was questing in Storm Peaks on an alt and after a some of the Creteus quests the Foot Steppes I guess phases, where there's the dwarves and Creteus dies... do you have to quest up to/past that point to see this guy? lol haven't seen him even once, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

you can see TLPD if you are
lucky
at any phase, you do not have to have all the dailies completed or be exalted with a certain faction to see him. the minimum death to spawn time has now been changed to 45 minutes, what this means is if vyra spawns, and someone kills it, it
could
respawn in as little as 45 minutes, it also could respawn in 45 days, it is completely random. with this being a cross realm zone i wouldn't recommend trying for it
yet
, if you
really
want this mount because it is highly populated right now. (been camping here for weeks at about 18 hours a day) i
would
however suggest maybe checking it out when mists of pandaria is released as people will be trying to level and get the newest coolest mounts, companions, gear, etc. Also being a rare spawn of a rare spawn i.e. Vyragosa, when spawning TLPD has a 1/16 chance of spawning and Vyra a 15/16 chance, and then it will roll 1-4 and decide which of the spots either will spawn at. There is no "sweet spot" or place that either will spawn more, it is completely random. This is why TLPD could spawn twice in a row, but is
highly
unlikely. hope this answered some of your questions. ^.^ ill keep everyone updated if i get lucky, tho im not counting on it. -_- love, opal (info made by my speculations and my friend Ponderance's many findings and research on Vyra/TLPD)
EDIT:
Ralthor, go to TLPDResource.com my friend made the site and has many documentations on the spawn timers and proven other theories wrong or right. you'll find most everything you need there, and if it's not on the site it's on his videos.
Also I've been camping a month now at 18-19 hours a day, i wouldn't suggest starting this unless you can take off work for a while like i have, or if you just have nothing else you want to work on at all, because this is very frusterating and boring so far.

I was doing quests for loremaster around 47, 65 when NPC_Scan announced happy news
wasn't even dreaming about getting it while we are on CRZ right now and so many ppl camping to get that mount
so, when I heard addon horn, I sky high looking for him, checked his fly path, setup myself on the ground and started spamming Judgement because ppl started comming from around, was luckly to hit and kill first but unluckly his body dropped at unreachable spot and I couldn't loot him, was even thinking about sending a ticket to GM, few deep breaths and remind that we are having now AOE Loot so I ran for closest mob, kited it close to TLPD and got my loot :D
I'm on Maghteridon, time was 02:05 CEST +/- few min

So I camped for TLPD and finally got it 10/1/12 at 4:13am server. I was at Storm Peaks for 19-24 hours a day for one month and one week. If camping this you need A LOT of time on your hands, sure people get lucky, but don't count on it with CRZ, it doesn't even make it past the spawn point. I camped at Bor's Breath, not any better then any other place, in fact it seemed to spawn everywhere I was not. Vyragosa has a 15/16 chance to spawn at one of the 4 points, the other sixteenth is TLPD, and it has a 1/4 chance to spawn at the point you are at. For spawn time information see my last comment. This post is to show you my log of Vyra/TLPD sitings/killings, i killed a lot more then what I have logged as I didn't start writing stuff down until the second week.
9/23 10am Vyragosa
9/23 approx. 5pm TLPD (diocren's waterfall)
9/24 7:39am Vyragosa
9/25 5:30am Vyragosa
9/26 8:02 pm Vyragosa
server reset
9/27 1:14am Vyragosa
9/27 10:30am Vyragosa
9/27 11:01pm Vyragosa
9/28 9:07am Vyragosa
server maintenance
9/29 11:48pm Vyragosa
9/29 5:42pm Vyragosa
9/29 11:55pm Vyragosa
9/30 7:49pm Vyragosa
10/1 4:13am TLPD (mine bor's breath)
i noted the time it took vyragosa's body to disappear, and it took 30-45 minutes, it is skinnable in which case disappears immediately. TLPD is not skinnable and takes about the same amount of time for corpse to disappear. TLPD is a rare spawn of a rare spawn, and no just because Vyra spawned, that doesn't mean TLPD will spawn next. It can spawn in one spot multiple times, and no spots multiple times. TLPDResource.com is a great place to get more information. Hope this helps future campers! -Opallace (Area 52)

09 October 2012. Got it a few minutes ago at Ragnaros, Storm Peaks (32,7-66.0) 6:47am, server time, just 5 minutes before server shut down for maintenance (maybe a clue).
For the rocord..
Yesterday 08 Oct. i found Vyragosa about 8:03 am, server time, on Storm Peaks (27.5-70.6) just before server restart, so i decided to take a look around today before server went down. Surprisely NPC Scan spotted TLPD.
Seems tooooo lucky..

Found T-LPD early in the morning 08.00 (Kul Tiras, EU)
Full of Adrenalin and Nerves, I Aggroed it, and it went for me. Kited it to a quiet place, all alone and all fine.
And I fired and fired, but nothing happend. Mounted I was.
Dismount in a hurry!
In mid air!
Lucky to survive the fall. But Panicstrucken and afraid to be killed, I called my hunter Pet, Madexx Red. And down T-L went in a jiffy. Without a single shot from my hand. :-(
NO loot!
(Think I'll forget all about this thing)..

As of 21:38 server time on Azjol-Nerub, 16th october 2012, I know what ragequit means.. Npc scan popped up with the long waited, heavily camped TLPD, just to see a cross-realm player from Draenor steal her from me. I don't know about you, but I'm going to catch up on all that sleep I've been missing out on these past weeks.

So, I decided to be a bit brave and switch my camping spot today.
Turned out to be a good thing.
I was on my laptop and took it into the kitchen with me "just in case", while I made some food. Got all my supplies together, turned to check the screen and I see this gorgeous brown drake starting to fly away.
I freaked, flew after him, hit my macro to tag him, dropped, lost a lot of health, freaked some more, and finally claimed this mount as MINE as of 12:03 am on Alexstraza.
Happy hunting and good luck, Don't give up. I didn't and after 3 or so months of mostly casual camping and only the last week of it been truly hardcore camping, I managed to get the mount.
EDIT: He was at Bor's Breath, above the Frozen Lake.

I used to camp above the frozen lake, but I did earlier yesterday about 7:07 PM (realm time) had Vyragosa spawn right on top of me. I used NPC scan and Silver dragon to make sure I got it (both work great, but I perfer silver dragon which I only had for a couple days to trying something new).
I was talking to a hunter looking for Skoll (few minuets after 1 AM), and I mentioned TLPD and how I been camping day and night for this dragon. About a few minuets later. The hunter demanded me to come to them, I grouped them to find out where they were. In shock, my heart stopped; it was TLPD! In flight going counter clockwise from the falls or Brunnhildar Village area. I killed him near the cluster of Skoll's spawn spots at about 1:07 AM (exactly 6 hours I killed Vyragosa). The hunter and I got the roll for the mount, and they told me it was all mine and that I deserved it. I was VERY lucky, there was an honest person out there that night.
I really started writing my kills (and other kills/spottings) and watched other people killed Vyragosa.
*all times are Eastern realm time, RP realm*

Not so lost anymore!
Killed him at 43,57. To the right of engine of the makers,where all the blue dragons are eating the rhinos
Good spot to hang out is the waterfall spot where the white harpies are. A few pathing routes come through here.
Pretty easy to spot because usually someone is afk right there.

Had some very bad luck with TLPD. I've been camping on and off for the last couple of months on my 85 druid. One day, I decided to go on my lvl 77 alliance shaman to level her a bit. I was on a flight path over Storm Peaks and was flying near Frosthold, when suddenly, NPC scan goes off! Got the fright of my life when I looked down, and there he was! Unfortunately, had to wait to land before I could go after him. Luckily, I wasn't too far away, so I was up again in no time. I went back to Rohemdal Pass, but I couldn't find him. I flew around for a bit, but no luck.
Saw him around 6:00am realm time (give or take, wasn't paying too much attention) on the 11th of November 2012. He was flying past Frosthold, through Rohemdal Pass. Was flying quite low to the ground and was flying South I think. Have no idea who did get him, but someone must have since I couldn't find him, dead or alive. One day, I hope I'll get another chance...haha.
Also killed Vyra three times, saw her dead twice, and killed Dirkee twice.

After many hours and hours of camping, as well as many failed attempts, I finally found this amazing drake!
...On the floor on a frozen river in Bor's Breath
...Dead....
I entered the Storm Peaks looking for Skoll on my newly dinged level 80 hunter. I got quite the pleasant surprise when npc scan found the TLPD, until I clicked the nameplate and found his corpse.
For about 6 hours I made loops through the spawnpoints of Gondria, Skoll, and Arcturis; trying to get the drake out of my head.
After quite a long time I bagged both Gondria and Arcturis within 3 minutes of eachother, and figured that Skoll may have spawned as well. I decided to take one final loop before getting off for the night. Flying through each of Skoll's spawnpoints I ended up coming to one facing a very high peak.
Being the lazy person I am, I decided to fly around the peak as opposed to over.
As I was auto-flying, just as I was about to tab out of WoW, I thought I saw something in the distance.
...There it was, the TLPD! Not dead, thank god
Hands shaking, I flew up to it and pulled it onto a ledge, and began to kill it. It gave out extremely quickly, and wasn't of any difficulty at level 80. (It hit about 800-900 on mail armor, a relatively small amount). Extremely excited I wasnt ganked while killing it, I knelt down to loot it.
And thats when it hit me like a truck.
I didn't have artisan riding on my alt.

EDIT: Turns out i cant post a screenshot link, maybe it will show up after a while, so I'll leave it there
Looks like I'm farming an extra 4,000 gold now :(
And now for some helpful bits of info
-It has 16k hp, and is a relatively easy fight at 80, even without any gear what so ever.
-I have spotted it at Bor's Breath as well as The Inventors Library
-The sightings were 5 hours apart, however this was just for me, and is not a set spawn time. The TLPD shares a spawn time with Vyragosa
-To kill it, simply fly into it so it aggros, then fly down safely to the ground
-Use npcscan, as well as npcscan overlay!
-NPCscan may detect it from very far away, as it is very large
-A targetting macro such as
/cleartarget
/tar Time-Lost
/stopmacro
/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\Illidan\\BLACK_Illidan_04.wav")
Credit to
http://www.wowhead.com/user=Rikaku
for the macro, slightly edited to cleartarget and target the drake instead of Skoll
Can help you a lot, as npcscan doesnt always work.
Hope some of this helps, and hopefully my story was entertaining to lighten the mood of camping

I've only had the pleasure of seeing this bugger
once
. . .
I stopped in Storm Peaks briefly, two minutes tops, and opened a new window to look something up on here, of all sites. I heard the familiar sound of Rubber Duckies (my NPCScan alarm), but brushed it off, since I ASSUMED it was Vyragosa, and not being one with the desire to find the TLPD, I didn't check.
Well, I should have, because he flew right over me and was brutally massacred by a Gnome.
To make things even better, my husband, who has been looking for the drake for a few years now, was online in Dalaran. Needless to say, I had a lot of apologizing to do. . .
This was around 10:00 PM on Zuluhed, at points 49.0, 67.2

Blizzard,
As you can see, this drake may have something wrong on its name. I mean, I guess you inverted some words, but, no problem:
Rename it to "Protodrake of Lost Times".
You ask why?
Well, just don't expect to spend less than 10 hours looking/camping after him.
And thats a jar full of time. Wasted.
(At least to the point you get it. Then all that time was worth enough.)
Edit:
Finally, I just managed to get mine.
I found the very same Protodrake at , Bor's Breath.
Killed it, got my mount and now here I am happy as ... Someone with a neat Protodrake! :D

I kind of feel sorry for this guy....keeps getting killed once someone sees him, lol.
I'm probably going to give this a shot on my mage sometime today.
Stupid question, but is this the mount that automatically rewards master flying? Or is that a different mount?
Good luck to everyone else!

Hey guys!
So I guess that everyone here would love to get your fingers in this lovely proto-drake!
I managed to get this drake, by using the tactic, that everytime I decided to LFR or BG - I made my to Stormpeaks (at the frozen lake) and then I queued up for my raid or BG.
So one night, 10 minutes after i've started my queue, the proto-drake spawns just infront of me (37.4, 64.4).
So if you're waiting for a raid or something, dont waste your time by sitting in orgrimmar and being bored, instead go camp the time-lost proto-drake!

Well, about 3 years ago. I was looking up "easy / free / no rep required mounts" and I came across this guy. So, I decided to go have a look. Was flying around in Storm Peaks for about 20-25 minutes when I was like well shoot I'm hungry, and got up and made myself a sandwich. As I was sitting back down with my plate who spawns right over my head? None other than the TLPD himself, I follow him to a low point and tag, kill, loot and learn. All within 30 minutes of learning he existed. Shortly afterwards I sat around on his back and watched several people flying round 'n round looking for him. And a few raged my head off when I told them my story of getting him. So honestly IMO the only way to get him isn't any amount of camping. It's complete luck.
Unfortunately with the new cross realm servers. Getting him will be even harder. My NPC-Scan went off on him 2 days ago while I was in flight path in Icecrown. But then I landed I headed straight to Storm Peaks to where I saw him and frantically flew around for 20 minutes, even while clicking the target button he was nowhere to be found. No body, nothing at all, no trace to be seen. It was quite the buzz-kill that Blizz would make zones with such a yearned for mount cross-realm. I know of people who have looked and looked for years for him and have never even seen him dead. For them it's an even bigger hit to their chances, on top of their being about 5 times as many people looking smashed into the same zone.

I thought I'd share my own experience camping and finally acquiring the TLPD - as of an hour ago!
I switched between camping the four spawn points and flying around when I got bored - flying around is what seemed to get it for me, as I found him in the Foot Steppes area (with all of the blue flying drakes/rhinos, which coincidentally is exactly where I killed Vyragosa around almost the same time yesterday.
I kept a log, so maybe this will help somewhat: Also, NPCscan is your friend!

Was waiting for a guildie to do some Ulduar transmog runs, casually hovering outside Ulduar on my rusty prot drake. Guildie says 'brt, gonna check for Time-lost proto drake first'. I go 'what is that?', check wowhead, go 'oh, nice', alt tab back to game and Npcscan immediately goes *BROING* and the damn thing spawns right on top of me. *SLAP* Yay!
For some reason, my thoughts about it having been the easiest mount I ever got outside of buying them from a vendor went unappreciated on the guild channel.

saw Vyragosa at 5:32 AM. Almost had it, thought i did but a dang BE swooped in and took it at last second.
Location was him coming from the valkri place to bor's. and he was flying just a little to high to hit him from ground. but seemed lower that it should of been.

Not sure how many of you here will relate, but NPCScan did not wake me from my temporary slumber, and I woke up 5 minutes after it had notified me. Found the drake dead not too far away. I had been waiting three days straight, not logging off my toon, just sitting there by the frozen lake waiting patiently for the NPCScanner to go off. There is no word to describe the rage I want to unleash. I had to sit there and wait for the corpse to go so NPCScan didn't have a false positive. So, for all you Feathermoon players or other Cross Realmers (which is who I lost the drake to, so that's a big "F*** you guys at Blizzard for introducing an idea that would f*** us all over in one way or another"), when you go out there and see old Jack Burton waiting for his proto-drake to spawn, be nice to the old guy, and keep in mind he's probably killed Vyra 5 or 6 times waiting.

Finally I got it, and big was my surprise, when it didn't drop the mount :(
Everybody had toæd me it was a 100% droop, but i can see on the droprate here that it's only 98%.
How can one be so unlucky, after a year long hunt, I got my Frostbitten, but no mount.
Well let a new hunt begin !

After weeks of waiting i finally was able to grab myself a time lost proto drake. At exactly 6:40am realm time tlpd spawned right in front of me out of the frozen lake spawn point. Talk about a relief, this has been an obsession since the first time i saw him 3 weeks ago, 20 minutes after searching for him the first day i ever heard of him, and an alli stole the kill from me. I was talking about never getting him last night to a friend, and luck gave him to me this morning. Wh00t!
Good luck to everyone searching!

TimeLostProtoD
Hi guys. This is the Time-Lost Proto Drake. I’ve been a longtime lurker in this thread, and have read with interest all the comments posted here over the years. I finally registered an account so I can address you all and beg you for some understanding and cooperation with regards to the abysmally short lives I lead out in Storm Peaks.
So, to explain – I live most of the time underground, inside the mountains of the Storm Peaks. I have a very nice lair, next to Vyragosa’s, and we’re pretty good friends and neighbors. She’s a bit bitter that she has to spawn so much more often than I do, but I’m getting ahead of myself. You see, every now and then, an alarm sounds inside, and that means I have pick one of the four exits from the lair – Ulduar, Brunnhildar Village, the frozen lake, or the waterfall – and teleport outside and fly around on these regulated patrols to make sure that everything is okay in my domain. When the alarm sounds in Vyra’s lair, she does the same thing. This was part of the contract when Vyra and I first got our jobs as rare spawn and moved into the Storm Peaks. Actually, Vyra has it tougher than I do – she has to appear a lot more frequently, and people are never happy to see her. (Which is understandably rather demoralizing.) When we moved in, they told Vyra they’d take no complaints from her about not being the rarest rare in the zone, because there’s a whole lot of blue and white
风暴峭壁巨龙
who would just love a chance to do her job rather than spend their time attacking
冰原犀牛
and and hauling them around. So she does what she’s told, and so do I… there’s a bunch of
尤顿海姆始祖龙
who would love to get my job, too.
Anyway, back on topic. So there you have it – magical alarm sounds, I drop whatever I’m doing (really sucks when I’m
this close
to finishing the Dalaran Daily News crossword puzzle, or if I have a batch of muffins in the oven), and pop outside. That’s when my life gets really not fun. See, I
love
flying outdoors. I get outside so seldom, it’s very exciting to fly about. But it seems that nine times out of ten, one of you Horde or Alliance people kill me literally the moment I spawn. Like, I don’t even get off the
ground
before I’m dead. And if by some wild chance, one of you
aren’t
waiting to jump me at my spawn point, you attack me almost as soon as I’ve started flying about. Just when I think I’ve got away and I’m free,
bam
... I’m dead. You level 90s are no joke - I don't get to enjoy even a bit of a fight like back in the old days. Oh, the dying’s not so bad - I just respawn inside my cave, although usually with a rez headache, and sometimes I get disoriented and forget things for a bit (like whatever’s in the oven), but after I lie down for a bit, I’m okay. What I mind the most is the fact that I never, ever get any time to just fly around outside and be a proto drake out in the wild with the wind beneath my wings and all that jazz. You guys are always hanging around killing me.
So I’m here to beg you all to please stop this madness. I’m sure you’ve all got better things to do than freeze and shiver on the spawnpoints - the wind chill in the Storm Peaks must be terrible for warm-blooded creatures like yourselves. So why not relax on the beaches of Stranglethorn? Or go climb Mount Neverest in Kun-Lai Summit if you want a challenge... visit the jungles of Un’goro Crater… the desert of Tanaris… the pretty rolling fields of Mulgore…the floating islands of Nagrand… Or go to Vashj’ir and bother Poseidus. Now there’s a crank… that sea pony has to appear maybe twice a week, but the way he carries on, you’d think it’s the end of the world every time. I tell him at our weekly Rare Spawn Society meetings (when you get killed as much as we do, having a supportive and understanding group of friends who are in the same situation is very beneficial), when you’ve been doing this as long as I have,
then
you can complain… but I digress again. Anyway, you get the idea. Go anywhere! Explore the world! Just… please leave me alone.
Thank you for listening.
Time-Lost Proto Drake
P.S. Vyra is over here visiting, and wants me to add that if people could please stop yelling and cursing at her when they kill her, she’d appreciate it very much. She says she can’t help the fact that she’s not, I quote, the “big fat famous Time-Lost Proto Drake.” (Fat indeed… hmph. Says the dragon who always gobbles my muffins like they’re iron dwarf snacks.)

My hunt for TLPD:
The 8th of march 2013, after several months of camping on/off, nothing too serious the waiting have begone. It's now 11:03 and I'm apart from a level 77 alliance the only person in The storm peaks, I do not know if this is because TLPD just spawned and was killed, or it is because of my extremely low populated server.
I've positioned myself above
The frozen lake (30.0, 67.8)
since it is a spot where 3 of TLPD 4 flight paths crosses - I've heard rumors that the long spawn timer (6-76 hours) have been removed in the shattering (cataclysm) and TLPD can spawn even minutes after the last kill. Don't know if the rumors are true, but now I'm trying to find out.
I'm hoping I can get TLPD before monday (today being friday).
I'm wondering why I never see Skoll anymore, he used to be on this server quite often, but havn't seen him for months. (and killed an alliance which rudely tried to camp on my spot, shame on you - he did however come back and tried to speak to me "Garde lon ras nagan, bur." I didn't understand so I killed him again twice, then he disappeared).
12:20 another horde joined me in my search. Why do people
always
choose the spawn points, where someone else is already camping?
13:25 No sign of Vyragosa or TLPD. My spot is getting a bit crowded though, with 2 hordes and 1 alliance apart from myself. I'll go to the
Frozen waterfall (36.4, 75.8)
and camp there instead.
15:36 Still at the waterfall. No sign of any activity.
18:09 No signs of any rares in the zone at all. I've grouped up with 2 other campers, and we are covering Frozen lake, Waterfall and
Ulduar (51.4, 30.0).
20:20 Vyragosa spawned at the Frozen waterfall.
23:02 My camping buddies logged out. I'm staying at Ulduar, since there are players at the other spawn points (Unless
Brunnhildar Village (50.4, 70.0)
, which seems to be a "forgotten" spawn point?).
00:49 Forced to move since some random dude keeps pestering me about how I'm stealing his TLPD, and that I'm a baaad person since I already got the Aeonaxx mount - apperently me being there since 11 and him not coming by once all day means he owns the place when he finally decides to log in. Luckily all spawn points are free, he is just following me because "He can be where he wants, and there is not a single thing I can do about it."
I moved back to Frozen lake, and there lays Vyragosas corpse, don't know when she spawned though.
03:27 Getting pretty tired, and a little weird :) I'm hoping Vyragosa or TLPD will spawn soon so I can take a break.
07:00 No signs of any rares. I'm going to bed now, I'll be at it again tomorrow.
9th of march 2013:
12:30 Up and about again. One of the guys I camped with yesterday did
tame TLPD this morning around 9.
I'm gonna stay at Ulduar, it is the least popular camping spot (together with Brunnhildar Village). I've found out that there can be people stacking right on top of you, without your knowledge thanks to phasing/crossrealms and /who isn't really useful at all these days.
15:20
I killed Vyragosa at Ulduar.
She was very hard to aggro as a level 90.
My Npc-scan did
not
alert me, even though I have
emptied the cache this morning
. Guess it stopped working after patch 5.2 (And yes I did update and load addons).
20:00 Someone says that
Vyragosa was killed
an hour ago (some say an hour ago, some say 10 minutes ago), I have however not seen the corpse so this kill is
unconfirmed.
I've started watching the Harry Potter movies from first to last. On movie nr. 2 atm :)
22:50 Went stretching my wings ;) Found
Dirkee
up at The makers engine and killed him for the achivement.
22:55
Skoll
is up at The frozen lake, no hunters in general that wants him atm. but I see no reason to kill him, so he will be there for the next lucky person that flies by (23:25 Skoll is gone, don't know if he got tamed, killed or despawned, but there was no corpse).
Npc-scan did go off like it should, on both mobs - Which makes the mystery, of why it didn't go off at Vyragosa and Aeonaxx, even greater.
03:23 Almost giving up, wanted to take a final lap and
there he is!
Freshly spawned at The frozen waterfall. My heart almost stopped :D Got the reins, and I'm very pleased. I ended up camping for 2 days. Npc-scan does work for TLPD but not for Vyragosa.
Spawn times:
Vyragosa:
The 8th: 20:20.
Th 9th: 00:49 (night from 8th till 9th.),15:20, 19ish (unconfirmed).
TLPD:
8th: None
9th: 9 in the morning.
10th: 03:29 (night from 9th till 10th.)
Skoll:
9th: 22:55
Dirkee:
9th: 22:50
Seems that Vyragosa has a 4-6 hours respawn timer, however when TLPD is coming up the spawn time will increase.
I did write a GM and got a very interesting response:
Cordessa @ Spinebreaker
Hi there, I have 3 questions for you, that you probably can't answer, but I'll try anyways.
Do you know if the rares in all of Northrend is connected? So if you kill a rare in Borean Tundra, a new rare will spawn somewhere else?
Will a rare despawn after a period of time, if the rare is not tamed/killed, or is this just a myth based phasing?
Is there any limit of rares that can be up on any given continent, or in any given zone? Or could there be rares all over, on a low populated server?

Hello there, Cordessa!
I'm very sorry about the wait time on this for you, we are very busy at the moment but we are working hard on this to get it back to normal.
I'll answer your questions in turn for you:
The rares are not connected like this, killing one rare does not affect another one spawning.
A rare does not have a despawn timer, it will just stay there until it is killed or tamed.
There is no limit to the amount of rares that can be active at the same time.
Hope this clears it up for you, have a good day!

After my 44 hour camp for the TLPD my NPCScan finally alarmed (8:21am Quel'Thalas server) but I couldn't find it quickly enough because I'm riding around on a 150% speed mount. I found the corpse and gave up searching for the day. I went to Dalaran and caught a flight back to the Northrend port at Valiance Keep but on the way my NPCScan went off again, this time for Crazed Indu'le Survivor (8:37am). This could be a huge coincidence but I've never seen any rare NPCs in Northrend apart from Vyragosa; to see the Time Lost Proto Drake and Crazed Indu'le Survivor within 20 minutes of each other is insane. Surely there's a link between the rare NPCs - Crazed Indu'le spawned right after TLPD's corpse despawned, hope this information helps somebody. Anyway, I'm gonna get Artisan Riding and try and get the beast again, happy hunting :)

As I was AFK in flight using flightpath, NPCscan located TLPD at about 12:00 am. After searching for him with no luck NPCscan located Vyragosa at about 12:30 am. TLPD was spotted near Frosthold flightpath and Vyragosa was spotted near the blue drakes at Engine of the Makers.

So I camped this for about a week on and off, at one staged I camped for 24 hours straight only seeing Vayra, once.. then I decided I'd camp during my sleep using a click bot to click a spell on my DK every 10 minutes to stop me from signing out, NPCscan went off at about 7:25am sever time, but I missed the TLPD by seconds.
I kinda stopped really trying after that for the most part sometimes I'd just fly through but didn't really try, then last night I was googling some stuff with WoW in the background, I was running full screen so the sound didn't even come through I just decided I'd check if anything was happening.. and then BAM! There it was flying past me I chased after it, My first tactic actually didn't work and I died! For some reason nobody else was around though, I managed to get to my body and chase it down once again.. I tried the Snowfall laga technique I don't suggest this, It caused me to miss killing him again I got slightly out of range and then it took sooooo long to fall to the ground, a very scary time thinking I'm about to miss it! But still nobody else had found it by me, This time I flew up and made him chase me to the ground, and boom.. Now I have my TLPD.
This was at about 3am sever time on the 25/03/13.
This probably doesn't help much, it's just my experience with it.
My suggestions; Camp it in your sleep or when you're doing something else so you don't drive yourself mad.
Don't use Snowfall Lagas too risky.
Don't try fall and kill it at the same time, scary once you've died.
Have fun :)
Oh, Also! I was only using the Bor's Breath Spawn!

I've spent countless hours over a three year span hunting for the Time Lost. In that time frame, I never once seen the Time Lost, not one single time. This morning 3/25/2013 at 8:45 a.m on the Emerald Dream server, I went to Ice Crown to farm for cloth. I was the first one in the zone this morning and seen Putridus the Ancient walking about. I killed him and then started farming for thirty minutes until my bags were full.
I headed back to Dalaran when NPCScan found Hildana Deathstealer. I don't intentionally go looking for rares, except for the Time Lost, so I never heard of Hildana or knew that she existed. I've farmed cloth for many, many months and never came across her. I went down and killed her, collected the goods. But I started to wonder since I never heard of her if she had any correlation to Time Lost. I came here to WoWhead searched this page and Hildana's page and found nothing.
I ran over to Time Lost spawn point at the frozen waterfall and didn't find anything. I made my rounds following his path but still nothing. I seen a post about killing other rare NPC's to drag out Time Lost. I can say that I did try this in the past with my friends and I was able to get Vyragosa to spawn a couple of times. Was this a coincidence? Probably, I'm not sure. I thought I would give that method one more try.
I signed into my 90 Holy Pally for her speed increase and pulled up the Frostbitten achievement to see who I would go for first. I was about to leave when at around 10:00 a.m NPCScan sounded off and picked up Time Lost. Not going to lie my heart was about to jump out of my chest and I was very lucky that nobody else was around because it took me a moment to find him.
http://img855.imageshack.us/img855/1296/wowscrnshot032513101136.jpg
I was heading toward K3 in the frozen water cause' it wasn't showing his marker on my minimap. He was actually behind me flying toward Valkyrion. I was panicking due to the time it took me to find him and I had seen an Orc who was on my faction in the area not long before this, so the race was on. I caught up to Time Lost and in a nervous frenzy, I tried to Holy Shock him down. Of course, it failed, so I got back on my mount and flew into him for a couple seconds and got his aggro and took him down where I shot him with a holy shock.
This, again, is my first time ever spotting him in three years. I don't have a track record of the times charted where I killed Vyragosa after she spawned or any other rare mob. I can't say for sure if Hildana had anything to do with the Time Lost spawn point or that I killed Putridus and Hildana in a thirty to forty minute time frame (both rare NPC's) causing the Time Lost (another rare NPC) to come out. It wouldn't hurt to check the Time Lost spawn points after killing a rare NPC or two to see if maybe he'll come out. However, like the poster below me, I will say you probably shouldn't use the lager or try to kill him in mid air. When in such a panic it's easy to screw up like myself and the poster below. I can only imagine what he was going through, lmao, after dying and everything. I know I was a shaky wreck trying to find his marker on my minimap when clicking the NPCScan alert.
Good luck to everyone who is hunting for Time Lost. Be very patient! I gave up about seven months ago and stopped camping him for hours. I guess it's part of the saying "When you're looking for it, it's hard to find. When you aren't looking for it, it's everywhere."

I haven't found the Time-Lost Proto Drake alive yet, (a lot of the times the sucker is dead) I have a few tips though that could help. He shares a spawn timer, spawn spots, and flight path as Vryagosa. So expect to see a lot of her. Secondly, I've noticed that he goes through a long period of time of not spawning and a lot of Vryagosa, and then once he spawns after this long period of time, he will spawn again in the next 1-2days. The second time he spawned, was in Bors Breathe, so I went to go run for the Blue Proto-Drake, and my scanner went off for Seething Hate in Howling Fjord. When I killed Seething Hate, TLPD spawned previously that day and he spawned again the next day. Rares will make the spawn timer go down. I guess one rare and if he is going through the period of short spawns and about 1-2 Vryagosa kills, try to go kill rares and he will have an even shorter spawn timer. Good Luck and Happy Hunting!
UPDATE: OMGGGG TLPD SPAWNED RIGHT ABOVE ME! Otherwise, it spawned last night at 12:38am my sever time. i was freaking out so much that I was trying to find my slow fall lager that I last it to another player! Raging, but I hope that my day will some soon enough. TIP TO EVERYONE CAMPING TLPD, DO NOT FREAK OUT SO BADLY, HAVE YOUR SLOW FALL LAGER ON YOUR ACTION BAR SO YOU CAN KNOW WHERE IT'S AT. I was also at the water fall spawn spot with another person there. Then people started coming out of NOW WHERE, literally. Good Luck everyone, try not to flip when it spawns, have lager on your action bar for easy access, so damn mad and sad :-'(. Good luck hope these extra tips help everyone greatly!

Its tradition so im here. After a week of farming this 24/7 (literally) i got it 18 hours after the last TLPD spawn.
(6 vyra kills total)
first 2:04pm TLPD TUESDAY village
second spawn 8:46pm TLPD FRIDAY ulduar
third 2:37pm TLPD SATURDAY bors
Powernaps and help from my wife waking me up and telling me it spawned.
If not for that i wouldnt have it. Camp one spot and never move. I learned the hard way.
GODSPEED!

NPC_Scan just picked him up while I was on the flightpath to K3, of course once I landed it was completely gone. There was no corpse, nothing. This has occured multiple times while using flightpaths. I assume it has something to do with Cross Realm Zoning...

Just spotted TLPD May 29 1430 server time....
I was on a flight path and when I came back to him he was gone....
Not sure if it was a horde or another alliance who got him....
But patrolled all over and didn't even see him again...

This is my first post on Wowhead. Been reading the comments on certain things for a while though, getting some useful info.
Waiting to get the TLPD has definitely been my biggest challenge so far! I'm also so unlucky that I know I'll be one of the ones who has to wait years not months lol has only been a couple of weeks already and it's driving me insane! (Although Vyra is keeping me quite nicely in frostweave).
Anyway, just a bit of info which has probably been said already but just in case...
I noticed when using NPCscan, that the scan range it claims to have is very inaccurate. For example, earlier I was standing in Dalaran AH, and the scan alarm goes off for a rare way over in the NE of Icecrown.
In theory this is great, because it should show up for TLPD no matter where in Storm Peaks he / she spawns. Made me wonder though, as my NPCscan never goes off with Vyragosa until he / she is almost right next to me.
One other thing that I know has already been mentioned but could be of use to someone...
although everyone keeps saying the spawn times are completely random, I have noticed that every time I see Vyragosa it's always about 6 hours apart, and the times I always see it are around 10 to the hour and 20 - 25 past the hour.
Just some observations so far to add to the general info on this.

Just killed him on Sargeras server at approx. 1:45pm ST.
I have used this strategy twice now to get the drake (helped a friend get it the first time around so now it's my turn!). I am sharing this because it has worked well for me in the past and served me well again this time.
Parked my level 90 mage at Bor's Breath, right over the waterfall and a little to the south, pretty high up. Sometimes, to avoid getting ganked, I would go over to the ledge on the left hand side (facing the waterfall) and put my toon in Shadowmeld there as the opposing faction will try and gank you, repeatedly. Then, go do other stuff. I watched Netflix, read my book, shopped online, whatever. Everytime you aren't playing, log into your parked toon there. TLPD will spawn right above the waterfall, pretty high up, so it helps if you are already above him so you can just tagret him instead of having to fly upwards to be in range. The kill is easy.
I did not fly around in circles like many people do--I had 3 others come at me right after the drake was down--they missed him because they were flying around. There really isn't a reason to fly around in circles. Just stay in one place and you are guaranteed to get a sighting, then you just have to be the first one to tag it. The first time I did this took about 3-4 days, with maybe 6-8 hours of camping each day. No Vyra sightings that I remember. Second time (today) was about the same amount of time put in with 3 Vyra sightings.
Hope this helps and goodluck to all!

By now we all know the only way to catch this elusive beast is either crazy luck, or dedicated craziness. If you're choosing the latter, and plan to camp it, the following could be you.
Just thought I'd share my brief TLPD story:
(With some useful info)
I'm making my daily flight through Storm Peaks, as I've been doing for years in hope of running into it without spending days/weeks waiting in place for it. I see a guy running around below me named Moronstunna and can't stop laughing at how stupid his name is, and him /taunt'ing me. I couldn't resist; after all the TLPD hunt can make even the strongest do stupid things. I fly down to him for a split second, suddenly he dismounts me out of thin air with
硬化之壳
(novelty item from MoP Rare). I fall to my death and as I do, I hear NPC Scan go off, and seconds later I see in chat that TLPD was just spotted and killed.
Lesson learned:
People are more vicious for this thing than the Furbys or Beanie Baby craze in the 90's (if you witnessed that, it was Armageddon).
Be very aware, if you dont already know what
硬化之壳
is, that any number of your competition could be out there ready to use it. Stay far off edges, cliffs, etc. Do not simply use abilities like Shadowmeld and assume you can safely mount up if you spot your TLPD. Also I'm an idiot.

SPAWN TIME IS NOT 6h.
I see people always typing in general "see you guys in 6h' and I laugh cus i've come back 4-5h later to see a spawn. DO NOT FOLLOW THE 6 HOUR RULE, it is BS.
From what I have gathered so far is that Vyra is around 4-6h spawn on average but TLPD does NOT follow the same spawn timer. I have read a few times that TLPD can drop 45 mins after Vyra. So i think when Vyra drops, he can spawn at any time after if he's the one set to spawn.
I saw Vyra drop at 7:20PM and then TLPD dropped at 12:30AM (5h)
I have killed Vyra MANY MANY times. I think ONCE she spawned after 4h. But I usually see her spawn after 5-6h on average. One time TLPD dropped 8h after a Vyra kill. (vyra 5am, tlpd 1am) Someone told me that the TLPD had spawned at 7am but I was sleeping. So if that was true, TLPD dropped after 2 hours of vyra and then dropped again 6h later.
NEVER follow the 6h rule.

First off, always get on a spawn point. Don't bother with covering a spot where you think all TLPD routes are covered. Unless you have another account, of your own or someone else's on other faction, you will never truly know if Storm Peaks is as deserted as it often seems.
Second, don't go wandering. I saw TLPD dead 5 times after arriving at Storm Peaks before I got it and every single time it was bang on the spawn points, or so close that it had obv. been aggroed as soon as it spawned. I would recommend a very quick circuit when you get to Storm Peaks to check out which spawns are covered and then make yr choice depending on what's available.
There are lots of lame griefers after this mount. They will hassle you, try to get you to move away, if they're on same faction /w crap to you ('it spawned 31 mins ago, honest') etc. Most of these people do this cos they expect a reaction, quickly. Don't give in - they willl first. Just utterly ignore them.
The other side to this is that it's a harsh world. The 'i'm first = i'm entitled' (lol) crowd won't like this but if you want someone off a certain (spawn) spot you can sometimes do this to the weak-minded with engineer's flying machine.
Often campers will be on a flying mount where TLPD spawns, out of reach of hostile atttack. Very often they will be afk or window-tabbed out with the volume way up loud so they can hear NPC scan while they read, watch tv etcetc. If you spam WSAD right on them with flying machine the noise will basically drive them mental - if you use elvui you can check if they are targeting you for progress on a response. They might try to play it cool but they'll break eventually. This is great when all 4 spawn points are 'taken', lame, but great.
It can't be skinned and the corpse lingers once downed. IMHO if you don't see a corpse on yr recce then the game is on. NPC scan still 'sees' the carcass.
Finally, i never really camped this - 30 minutes every so often here and there. But it probably added up to a lot and I felt I had wasted a lot of time. Just visited often with MoP and portal to Dalaran. I wasted time zooming around, doing laps, killing vyra, dirkee, sometimes seeing dead TLPD even (gutted tbh, especially first time). Eventually I stopped visiting and started farming Blue Proto Drake from Utgaarde, flew back thru SP, got to Waterfall and guess who popped out of wall.
Sorry if this seems like a ramble (it is i guess) but really, what else is there to be said multiple expansions later? Good luck to all who search for her.

Time-Lost Proto Drake! YESSSS... Not! Okay so this is my story and the useful information i have for all you camper!
1. Make Sure Your macro is /Target Time-Lost! Not Time-Loss,
2. Don't get mad if Alliance take the drake your searching for just because your macro eluded you.
3. Keep your eyes peeled
4. And most importantly Just because NPC scanner shows time-loss is near you in the yellow glowing bubble doesn't mean $%^&! BECAUSE he wasn't near me infact he was several meters due east and im talking out of sight. Even if i were to switch view to ultra i wouldn't of seen him from the bigs bird nest by the fall too the village he was right on the peak before the dropoff too the village. GOODLUCK
PS. Just because it says hes on the overlay flight path doesn't mean he is. Because he wasn't for me. ALSO make sure your macro is /Time-Lost I found him sometime after 11pm EST; east of Bors falls or whatever the name of the waterfall place is. On the Maive Server.
Also make sure you're not trying to find him with ur visibility at FAIR i didn't see him dead till i switched visibility to GOOD.
One more thing.. When searching for him relax and steadily scan the area with your own eyes when NPC scan went off he was several meters in a differen't location and direction than what i occasionally thought he was at due too the scan.

Hey guys,
I farmed Time-Lost Proto-Drake few a months before I got it. During my time camping I did frequent /who -z "The Storm Peaks" on both my character and a lowbie horde I had camped out near the Ulduar spawn. I added the people I saw from my own realm to my friends list, and I made sure to check their armories for when they looted Vyragosa.
It was at the point when I was tracking about 6-8 people that I decided to make a script to make my life a lot easier:
http://dougarley.github.io/tlpd-helper/
It requires basic knowledge of terminal/command-prompt commands and some very minor data entry.
The short of it is you enter in character names and servers you know are camping TLPD, and it checks the armory to see if they've recently looted Vyragosa and if they have already got the TLPD.
It
can not
track Vyragosa kills that are not looted, nor can it track TLPD kills accurate, because neither of these show up in the user's activity feed. Regardless I found it very helpful.
Using this script I was able to compile this list of data about TLPD/Vyragosa kills over a few months:
http://pastebin.com/mJcG5bW3
Asterisks represent kills I got myself. All TLPD kills are approximate. I have no way of telling is a character is farming TLPD in multiple server pools, but the assumption is that most, if not all, were not.

Been camping this rare for about a week now, and I noticed my own pattern. So far, Vyragosa seems to stick to respawing about every 12 hours after she's been killed. I have yet to see her spawn before the 12 hour mark. It is usually directly after, or a couple hours after. For me, this has been happening between the hours of 11-2 am or pm. I am on the Emerald Dream server.. however.. do to cross realm zone, I don't know exactly what server I am really on. I camp Bor's Breath and have noticed she has come from the waterfall 3 times, and Brunnhildar Village 2 times. I ran into her corpse once near Frosthold which means she spawned at the waterfall again. I have yet to see her actually spawn over the frozen lake yet {Edit} She spawned at the lake today for me around 2:20pm.. and I am not close enough to Ulduar to notice her spawning there. I saw her getting killed front of Ulduar a full 24 hours after I wrote this post. So that's one time I witnessed her up there] So far.. No signs of Time Lost... but I hope this to change soon!
And now.. a personal moan. People stop camping on top of other people. Unless you are dealing with an area stuffed with people, there is zero excuse to park yourself on top of someone else. This rare has 4 different spawn spots.. and a couple different places where it's paths over cross. Sitting on top of someone else is not only EXTREMELY RUDE... it also hurts your own chances at tagging the rare. You are making yourself be in competition with someone else for one spot. If you move to where no one else is.. you have no competition! So if it spawns where you are.. YOU can get it! Park on top of someone else.. You can miss it. So why even bother? Be a jerk all you want.. but you really are only hurting your own chances at tagging the rare. So there is no point in double parking.
I Got this drake today! 10/4/13 Time was 8:50am server time. He was coming from the waterfall through Bor'sBreath. I was tabbed out doing my work for over an hour and my NPC scan went off. I was so sure that it was Vyra that I was lazy tabbing back in. I did NOT expect to see the yellow proto-drake there! He was flying pretty low.. and as a ilvl 513 I was able to one shot him no prob. But I used a flow fall anyway. So happy! Even made a transmog outfit that matches! Good Luck everyone who is still camping for him! Keep it up! and he will pop up when you least expect it!

After three plus years of hunting for this guy, I finally found him while gathering Saronite for scrapbots. Unfortunately, he died and clipped partly into a mountain on a slope that led to instant death almost every time (screenshot submitted). I tried everything I could when I almost gave up and submitted a ticket. Luckily, a guild-mate popped on right around then and we both had an idea.
You know how you can't normally loot while mounted? Well, if you have a multi-passenger mount, like the
Obsidian Nightwing
, the second passenger (in this case, the rider) is still able to loot the corpses.
I'm so happy to finally have this guy in my collection, best of luck to everyone else!

Finally I take mine!
I take this drake as a target since October 1rst but I play WoW since WotLK and never saw this drake before.
I lost 2 TLPD for another players when I was camping, first one I was playing guitar and didn´t listen NPC alert and the second one I was smoking a cigaret at other room and when I come came he was dead.
But yesterday night was the night!
He came to me and I jump, shadow word pain and levitate. Amazing! I felt my hearth in my throat! lol
This was my experience from the last four days:
10/26 . 18:05 Vyragosa (Frozen lake)
10/27 . 09:58 TLPD (Frozen lake)
10/27 . 07:00 Vyragosa (Waterfall)
10/28 . 18:07 Vyragosa (Waterfall)
10/29 . 06:58 Dirkee (near temple of storms)
10/30 . 08:04 Vyragosa (Frozen lake)
10/30 . 20:20 TLPD (Frozen lake)

(12/11/13) Finally I just killed and looted this guy near Ulduar after few days of casual camping at spawn (Vyragosa not seen for that whole time). Fortunatelly he dropped mount for me (SOOO HAPPY!) :)))
Killed at 22.26 on Deathwing realm (EU) after Illidan yelled that I am not prepared...! :D
It took about 30 minutes (at 22:55) for dead corpse to despawn (what a pity it cannot be skinned :-/ )
I wish good luck to other hunters :) Take care!
/Edit: Killed Vyragosa today (19/11/13) around 13:50 at the same spot near Ulduar (this one is the least frequented route and the least camped spawn imho). So there is my advice - patience :D Just choose one of spawn points and camp here and dragons will eventually spawn for you :) GL&HF

I tagged this guy around 6:15 today (11/15/13)I got it when I felt like running over to check on him I almost had a heart attack when I saw him south of temple of the storm. BTW I was on kirin tor alliance. When I told my friend that I got it she was ANGRY because she was camping it for 6 months, she started swearing things that I should not repeat. so in conclusion it was major time lost for my friend and me being a lucky guy obtaining mounts again!

10:54, Kilrogg-EU. Spawned at Bor's Breath very close to the standard Vyra spawn. Whereas Vyra spawns on the ledge and takes off immediately, the TLPD was already in the air and flying away. Still within reach of Heroic Throw.

I can confirm my experience was a 16 hr spawn timer. Last night (11/16/13) at approx. 6:30pm server time I arrived back at my waiting post (after hearthing for an errand and being gone maybe 20 minutes) only to find she had just been killed, right where I had been standing not 20 minutes prior. Heartbreaking.
While I was heartbroken and ready to quit WoW for all eternity because of this cruelty (after 4 years of camping for this rare mount) I decided to go back to my post this morning and just chill. After about 45 minutes of waiting, I had another Hordie and an Ally camping on top of me (rude), but I thought, what the heck, I'm a mage with slow fall, I will win this race.
Long story short, she spawned a few minutes later, much to my absolute shock, and while I forgot to cast slow fall because I was panicking, I survived the fall and got my mount. Silly Ally Priest was AFK and didn't even notice the entire event. Lolz.
According to my SilverDragon counter, it was a ~16 hour spawn time.
~6pm server (cenarion circle)
~12pm server (which looks more like 18 hours by my math).
Good luck. She's worth it.

I can confirm that TLPD spawning one sixth of the time vyragosa spawns is complete BS. We have seen vyragosa almost eight times now and not a single TLPD. I'm pretty sure that it's more of a one eighth of the time spawn, don't quote me on it though.

For the record, I've killed the TLPD 7 times so I'm pretty familiar with the grind and path (I no longer have that account though and am camping it on my new account). Today, I killed Vyragosa on a busy server at Brunnhildar Village. The strange thing is that she didn't actually spawn there. She patted in from Snowblind Terrace, I assumed the falls were not being camped since it came from that direction, but there were two people on the spawn point (one stacked on me earlier and was the reason I was camping village so I know they had been there several hours). So I flew over to the Ulduar spawn point and somebody was there as well. I spoke to him and he indicated that he had been there over an hour. This leave three possibilities:
1) Blizzard shifted the Vyra spawn point to the side at the village.
2) The two guys at Falls were sleeping (or they let it go). Possible. Some people turn off alerts (or have it cached) for Vyra so they might not have even seen it.
3) Blizzard added a new spawn point (or more). This seems unlikely, but I would like to hear feedback from anybody that could confirm or deny this.

Hi everyone.
I'm posting this two expansion packs late, I know, but I have seen that people are still religiously camping this guy. I wanted to offer not only the help that I can, but my condolences and empathy.
I camped this spawn for three months straight, without sleeping, taking shifts with a friend who would watch for me while I slept for a few hours. When I tell you that I didn't stop camping him, I didn't stop camping him. I even lost my job and about 15 pounds. Yes. I wanted him that badly.
Before I killed him, I had never seen him before, dead or alive.
I killed Vyragosa, who spawned on top of me, probably about 10-25 times over the course of the three months. I also killed Dirkee and Skoll once or twice each.
For the most part, I was camping in Bor's Breath, on the mountain, not the waterfall, and I was sitting right on the spawn spot. It makes no sense to fly around or move from spawn spot to spawn spot. You are guaranteed at least a 25% shot at him if he spawns if you sit at one spot. If you fly around, he could spawn behind you as soon you fly away and never know it. So do the sensible thing and sit on one spot.
The mountain makes the most sense to camp because say he spawns at the waterfall which is located on the opposite side of the same mountain... if he's not killed, he will fly by the mountain. If he spawns by Ulduar, he will eventually fly by the mountain. If he spawns at Brunnhildar, you might not see him, but the mountain is the only spot that covers three flight paths. It is the smartest place to go.
Having sat there for three months, I am a believer in his spawn "timer" being totally and completely random. I don't believe in the 6-hour minimum, either. Why? Because I've talked to people who camped him during WotLK, who got it on more than one character, and they got two in under 6-hours. I've seen counts of it on this site, too. Don't believe everything you hear. The only thing you can be sure of is that there is a small, small chance that the Time-Lost will spawn in place of Vyragosa, who is rare herself. Despite what others may say, there is no time bracket in which anyone is SURE he is gonna show up. So the best thing you can do is make sure you're always there.
I also believe that if you have friends with you, it is wise to have them go around Northrend and kill all the rares they can find. It's not a confirmed fact that it speeds anything up for you, but it's speculated, and in my experience, it did speed up the spawn rate of other rares. It had a triggering effect. I don't think that there can be 0 rares up in a continent at a time, so it forces some to spawn. That's my belief, anyway. I did this during my time and it forced Vyragosa to spawn again after about 7 hours since her previous spawn. It surely did speed it up for me. I never got the Time-Lost to spawn that way, though. It's just something that could MAYBE help.
I didn't post this with the intention of rambling about my own personal kill/experience with this rare spawn, but it might encourage someone out there. I camped that entire three month period with not even a sighting of the drake. That was my summer vacation, so after the three months were up, I stopped camping so hard because I had to go back to my classes. I felt very discouraged and disappointed that I spent so much time and didn't even get anything out of it except my Frostbitten! achievement.
I didn't even want to go back to Storm Peaks or Northrend at all after that, and I didn't for months.
One day I just went over there and camped in my usual spot, about two months after I had decided I needed to wait until my next long vacation to camp him again. I was only going to go check it out. I was camping for about four hours and my NPCscan went off and he was flying below me through Bor's Breath, by the harpies below the cliff. He was slightly lower than the broken pillar on the side of Bor's Breath, and he was flying very slow. He was headed toward the Val'kyr quest zone that faces the mountain. He must've spawned at the waterfall.
I have also noticed that kills I have read about have a tendency to occur at even intervals (ie, 12:00, 3:30, 4:20, 8:55, 10:25, 7:50). No middle-of-the-lot numbers. Well, that rang true for me as I killed him at about 1:05pm. I'm a Horde player on the PVP realm Korgath.
I hope I helped somebody out there. Good luck to all of you, and if I ever see him flying around again, I'm gonna tell everyone in /c1 chat, and maybe you'll be there and you can come get him.
Also, don't let this make you lose your job like me. :P

Bor's Fall. Stand right at the ledge, unlike Vyragosa which spawns above the ledge, TLPD spawns right below the ledge.

Ha, finally got this after just over 2 weeks of camping in SP. My server is Magtheridon but I am not sure which realm I was on at the time due to CRZ. 00:25 server time at the frozen lake spawn point.
I am a casual camper in the sense that during the day sometimes I would log in and leave it running sat there but most other times I queued for DF and did questing here and there or try to find other rare spawns. I can tell you this strategy relies heavily on luck and I do'nt recommend it if you serious about it. Few times I came back from dungeons to find vyrgosa dead and tlpd dead once.
Camping can be boring, frustrating and sometimes fun. You'll meet a number of characters trying to discourage you, whisper sweet nothings to you and often flat out lie to you about Vyrgosa or tlpd having spawned and killed so that you give up or try to bully you to leave (opposite faction mainly). Unless you see the dead body dont believe a word! Having said this there are some nice friendly people too willing to have a laugh and a joke. Saying hi and not stacking up on a spawn point where there are others already there helps. TBH several times people came and camped where I was but I didnt complain or care, others may if you do it. First time (and only time) I killed Vyr there were two others there and one already in air but I managed to tag and kill it.
I have a quest in my log that opens me up for pvp so I am always getting attacked. Took me a while to work it out :) cause my pvp flag is disabled. If this is the case and you find yourself constantly getting attacked and killed you may want to abandon the quest and pick it up later especially if if you are lower level. I didnt really care and of-course I re-discovered MC and walking people off high cliffs can be so much fun :D. Sometimes it worked sometimes it didnt and i died but dont be bullied into leaving.
I recommend camping bang in middle of a spawn point with occasional fly around to check for corpses of Vyr or tlpd so you know not to waste time. This is where friendliness will help so people will tell if Vyr just died or tlpd. Verify it of course. Dont bother with putting yourself in a place to cover flight paths, go to a spawn point so you have at least 25% chance of it spawning near you. Maybe on low pop servers it may work but every time TLPD or Vyr was killed it was near a spawn point from my experience.
The best two are Frozen lake and waterfall spawn points because these cover a spawn point and a flight path from another spawn point just in case no one is camping the other or asleep but these are also the two busiest ones. The ulduar ravine and the village spawn points only give you access to that spawn. Not sure they would pick any other flight paths.
For me it spawned right on top of me I think at frozen lake. I targeted and pressed SW:P without seeing it. As soon as it hit I knew I was in! Didnt have to fly hit and levitate etc.. though you may have to.
Good luck all.It can be fun pursuing this mount maybe I wouldnt say that if I had to wait months :)

I have camped this on EU-Outland witch is a full server for over then 200 hours. Including the CRZ, it was a slap to the face, and I now decided to transfer my random 85 priest to a free mig low pop server and hoping for better luck there.
Never give up people. Dont let all the time you sink in to this trollface be to
totally
wasted.
The day I'll get it... I'll pump the hardest gangsta music I can find and RP walk to Stormwind!

Here is my record of the hunt, conducted on a low-pop non-CRZ server. I made a L1 toon on the opposite faction to monitor zone traffic. Early on, I friend-listed a camper from that faction, and we agreed to work together (if you can't beat 'em, join 'em?). Her main spot was the Frozen Lake (FL) spawn, which also covers the Ulduar (Uld) path, and at times she used a second account to camp Uld directly. My main spot was the Waterfall (WF) spawn, which also covers the Brunnhildar Village (BV) path, and at times I actually shuttled partway back-and-forth between the two spawns (more on this later). In this way, we hammered away at Vyragosa spawns for two straight weeks until TLPD finally came out to play (1/28). Ironically, I ended up catching my own TLPD on 1/27 on my home server, completely separate from the following log:

TIME-LOST PROTO DRAKE
Average spawn-timer:
5.5 hours
Standard deviation:
1.1 hours
Kill count:
Vyragosa 44
Time-Lost Proto-Drake 1
The spawns are:
FL: (31.5, 69.5)
WF: (35.3, 76.8)
Uld: (52.3, 35.0)
BV: (51.3, 71.3)
Things I learned:
- Each route always pats in a certain direction (
map
).
- Vyra's corpse lingers on the ground for 30 minutes... unless you're a skinner.
- The
Azure Dragonleather Helm
shows up in your toon's activity feed... unless you vendor it.
- Don't worry; Vyra's NPCScan range extends far beyond the edges of your minimap.
- So does her visual range; adjust your System settings > Graphics > View Distance > Ultra.
- If the zone is totally empty, the Broodmother's Nest (38,66) covers all four routes.
- FL's spawn-point covers two additional routes (Uld/WF).
- WF's spawn-point covers one additional route (BV).
- Make a macro with /dismount and /use
Snowfall Lager
. (Beware the 2-minute CD if you screw up the tag!)
- Stop moving before hitting the macro or else you will slow-fall at an angle rather than straight down.
- Write down the names of repeat-campers and monitor their activity feeds for any kills you missed.
- To spy on other campers without their seeing you, fly up high out of their visual range.
- Consider your flying speed compared to others'. (Note: DKs and Paladins can fly at 492% speed.)
- In my experience, killing other Northrend rares did not seem to influence Vyra's spawn timer.
- In my experience, server outages appeared to despawn all Northrend rares and reset their timers.
One final tip:
-
Be constantly aware of your surroundings.
I'm not going to say to camp FL/Nest automatically because those may not be ideal depending on the activity/locations of others around you. A couple examples:
1.) In the wee hours one morning, I was alone in the zone except for a camper I spied at the Nest. With my DK's 492% flight speed, I decided to shuttle partway back-and-forth between FL and WF's spawns. My route was approximately (31,67) to (36,73), diagonally across the mountain. This allowed me to cover 3 of the 4 routes before they reached the Nest. (I got lucky, and the spawn wasn't at BV.)
2.) On multiple occasions, my friend was at her spot (FL) and I at mine (WF) when I spied an enemy camper at the Nest. This is detrimental to me at WF because it cuts me off from BV. With my 492% flight speed, I shuttled back-and-forth along the BV route between about (38,72) and (42,64), stopping shy of that first Skoll spawn-point. If you can JUST manage to turn the corner on that mountain slope, then your visual/NPCScan range will extend far into the valley toward BV.
Ultimately, though, you need to gauge your zone traffic and decide if you have enough latitude to stray so far from the actual spawns as I did. If your zone traffic is higher than mine, you may want to stay put at one spawn and hope you win the lottery.
Godspeed to you.

So I found the TLPD today.
I was in the middle of murdering it before I got ganked
I watched the horde get it.
It was a sad day.

If you are in a PVP server, leave the campers from the opposite faction alone!

Recap on all I know of TLPD:
-Shares spawn timer, and spawn points with Vyragosa. Dirkee has no connection whatsoever.
-Vyragosa is on about a 8-24 hour spawn timer, that timer has a 10% chance to spawn TLPD.
Confirmed Spawn points:
-North of Valkyrion, near the cave. May path north, east, or south.
-South of Valkyrion, over the frozen lake. May path north, east, or southwest around Frosthold.
-The Foot Steppes, southeast of the Engine. May path northeast, southeast, west, or southwest.
-Brunnhildar, directly over the pit. May path north or southwest.
Unconfirmed:
-Somewhere around Frosthold, I'm thinking near the peak.
Theory: I'm 80% sure that this spawn point is just east of frosthold, behind those ruins on a large ledge with trees at 34.5, 70.
Things that will help your hunt:
If you are hunter, after TLPD is being tagged, shoot it IN THE AIR, and right before hitting the gound, disengage.
Time-Lost Proto Drake is a Dragonkin. So if you are a hunter, you should use your "Tracking-ability", set it to "Track Dragonkin.
Macro that might be helpfull:
/tar Time
/stopmacro
/w Your Name %t Is watching you!
/run RaidNotice_AddMessage(RaidBossEmoteFrame,"THERE IT IS! KILL IT!", ChatTypeInfo)
/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\interface\\RaidWarning.wav")
Happy hunting!

Apparently I am among the lucky 1% who gets ZERO LOOT to drop on a TLPD kill. Put in a ticket and was told the kill generated no loot. So disappointing!

If you're going to camp this drake, I would reccomend this strategy.
---
A. If you have a max leveled druid with flight form, transfer it to
a. Ravenholdt (Eastern Times Non CrossRealmZones server, VERY low population, almost nobody anywhere, max I've seen is 7 people in Stormwind)
b. Venture Co (Pacific Times Non CrossRealmZones server, low population, have not tested yet, but is said to favor the horde in population wise heavily)
--
B. You refuse to transfer due to money/guild friendships yeyyy/etc, or don't have a maxed druid (Like me, whom I've only lvled up to 60 and deleted due to feral not being my style, and I couldn't learn boomkin and I was lazy so....lol.)
So your choices are
a. Ravenholdt
b. Venture Co.
I've leveled a human, two night elves, an undead, and a space goat and every single starting zone ranged from 0-2 people per zone. The higher zones barely have any. Stormwind and orgrimmar are exceptions, because they're capital cities.
Started a druid yesterday morning, currently lvl 28 due to
EXCRUCIATINGLY long dps ques for dungeons (15-20 minutes, healers take 5-10, but tanks get 1-2 minutes), and main's farming netherwing rep and wintersaber, along with camping others rares, so it could take a while if you are busy.
I would reccomend popping on some heirlooms, hopping over to Ravenholdt, for Alliance, Venture Co for horde, soloing that booty up to 80 and sit and wait.
I would also reccomend a druid as they are built for speed, and outstanding dps, so you can shake it over to 80 quickly. Plus, you can just be productive and pick herbs without having the pain of dismounting, and fun birdie mounts/dismounts in air for fun :D

did a quick look and didn't notice this in any comments. As a monk be careful of getting to close to the drake before you can attack it. i was flying close to it and got into combat, few second later it was dead with noone seeming to be around but i didnt attack and couldnt loot. after looking at my combat log i noticed this
You killed Time-Lost Proto-Drake.
Your
hit Time-Lost Proto-Drake 18900 Physical. (1824 Overkill)
So as a monk be careful that you don't get to close and accidentally parry the drake

My 19 Day Journey
I honestly didn't think it would take this long if I was diligent. I went through several videos and read all the guides/notes on here. Here are my cliff notes and what I did to get my Time-Lost Proto-Drake. In the end I had 24 Vyragosa kills before I got the Time-Lost.
Good luck!
Tips
This is the map I used.
Here is a nice guide with videos of spawn locations
Spawn timer was 5-12 hours
from my experience. I did have one instance of a 4hr 38min timer. Not sure why but I only had one of these. For those that have witnessed lower spawn timers may be related to the cross-realm feature.
I dual boxed
about 40% of the time, (other account is my wife's/son's account so couldn't use it the entire time. Springbreak was during a major part of it). This isn't necessary but was good to get an additional spawn point out of the 4 to camp. I also used this toon to verify other people's kills. I missed two Time-Lost spawns and would have got at least one if I was able to dual box (info below).
SilverDragon
was key (
link
). I preferred it to NPCScan so I didn't have to keep deleting the cached files. I did use NPCScan overlay as a guide for routes. SilverDragon also had a different alert for the Time-Lost so I knew ahead of time before I went to my computer what I was in for.
Handynotes
(
link
) helped with keeping track of when I last saw/killed a rare (not a necessity but a plus). There were times when I had to leave the house (I work remote so am home most of the time). I'd leave my toons logged in and if one spawned I'd have an alert box and could use handynotes to see when it spawned.
Don't believe everyone in chat.
Most people were nice and seemed to be working with each other. I was honest and gave pointers and help along the way to those that needed it. If a kill was made I'd verify it. I only encountered two players that lied or acted immaturely.
Don't give up!
I wanted to give up a few times. However I kept thinking it will spawn eventually. And I've already put so much time into it–I can't give up now.
The log and notes:
I chose the Ulduar spawn point to avoid too much traffic. My fear was someone would be flying by and snatch it from me. Since most people are 90 its an easy one shot kill. The Frozen Lake location was my next choice and I actually camped there my first day. It may be the best spot and is where I had my second toon camping most of the time. However everyone wanted to camp there too. I rarely had anyone that stayed very long at the Ulduar spawn. If someone is camping Waterfall and Ulduar, the Frozen Lake isn't any better than the others.
KEY: FL (Frozen Lake), WF (Waterfall), ULD, (Ulduar), BV (Brunnhildar Village)
Unfortunately I didn't start documenting until my 11th day of the 19 days.
3/15 Journey begins.

*Vyragosa spawned at 2:50pm (5 hours from last kill. Server restart was at about 11am suggesting it didn't restart timer. Otherwise that would be 3:50 hours until next spawn. All other spawns were 5-12 hours with 4:38 being the shortest I've witnessed)

Just found it at around 4am, I was doing my usual patrol for the last rares to complete the Frostbitten achievement when I actually ran into it instead of Vyragosa.
I was shocked for a moment, then shock turned into scare that someone would come and steal it (mind you I'm only level 73, nothing I could do vs a level 90 char).
So I decide to start shooting at it mid-air, use my trusty parachute (engineer master race) and actually end up killing it once I land, with the help of my trusty rhino.
So now I know which flying mount I'm gonna use for a while

Am I a terrible person? Because it is really entertaining to fly around on my TLPD mount and have people get their hopes up, then start spamming me with swears.

To those of you still hunting the TLPD, I am so sorry. :( As CRZ and connected realms are making it harder and harder to bag this mount. May luck be with those of you who still need it.
Regardless, I am here to give my pointers and tips for camping TLPD. I have alot of information to share and don't want to flood a whole wowhead page with it. So instead, I will link you to my blog that has a whole page dedicated to it.
I hope you find it informative and helpful. If you do, please upvote this comment so more people can see it. :)
This is the link to my website:
http://missa72542.hubpages.com/hub/TLPD
I also have a video guide if you would rather watch it than read:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_m4MMtp-OGE
Quick Tips:
1. -Be patient. You are going to be spending alot of time waiting and spending it with griefers. Don't let them get you down man... you're stronger than that! :P
2. -With CRZ and connected realms, you're going to be better off trying to make friends with other campers than you are making enemies.
-----2.a -Do not stack on other campers, try to find an open spawn location and camp that one. Stacking is rude and only makes the other camper dislike you.
-----2.b - Offer tips and advice if you have it. If you see someone camping in a wrong location, let them know. They'll respect you for it and might even help you along the road. (I've had people help me camp after I helped them. Give and receive!)
Have fun, good luck!

First time commenting here but I've been camping TLPD for a loooong time.
Was on a flight path from Dalaran to Ulduar to get the achievements and my npcscan went of near the waterfall, immediatly went back to check it out but couldn't find it, other people also claimed they didn't see it.
So, as I made a couple more rounds to make sure that he wasn't flying around somewhere my NPCscan suddenly went crazy on vyragosa, and there she was. Killed her at Waterfall.
I am assuming TLPD despawned and Vyragosa immediatly respawned at in this case the same spawn point. Didn't even know this was possible but wanted to share this with you.
EDIT: Found out it was because i Phased, still a bad trade tho :(

The restless Paladin shifts in her spot on her Phosphorescent Stone Drake, only a sliver of hope left within her.
The icy wind of the Storm Peaks freezes her fingers and causes frost to develop on her restless mount's wings.
"Should I stay a little while longer?..." The Paladin says aloud to herself, her voice raspy and weak from the freezing air around her.
There is a legend of a dragon that roams the land in the mountains of Northrend. It is known to be lost, warping through different dimensions to find it's old home. Its skin is a rusty brown with a gaping turquoise mouth, and the Tauren was willing to capture it for her own.
After a week of camping out in the mountains with only a limited supply of leftover smoked venison from her last adventure through the Howling Fjord, she begins to get weak and lose weight. The meat is tough and old, frozen from the temperature. It hurts her jaw to chew, causing a sharp pain in her teeth with each bite. The Paladin decides to endure the pain so she can get food in her stomach for the long journey ahead of her.
Her shivering and shaking fingers nudge the reins of her mount to the left, towards a ledge in a mountain so her drake can rest its tired wings.
She sits on the hard snow, her muscles sore from constant sitting and staying as still as possible, listening for distant flapping wings around her.
Hopelessness clouds her mind like a storm cloud, ready to rain down onto her determination. The Paladin buries her head in her frosty hands, letting out a moan of exhaustion.
"I don't even think I'll ever find it. What's the use?" She says to her mount. The only answer she gets is a slight shrug from her trusty violet dragon. "I'm not even sure how long I'll be able to live only eating frozen venison.."
Several hours pass as the Paladin watches a number of antsy adventurers come and go. Loneliness erodes her thoughts, convincing her that waiting out here for nothing is a waste of time. She will never find and capture the drake for her own.
With a sigh she picks up her pack, about to get on her dragon and head back to Dalaran empty handed. The thought of the floating city of magic comforts her, almost convincing her to leave for good. The Paladin paused when she heard something fall out of her bag. It was a light, soft sound. She peered down into the thick, knee-deep snow and spotted a rolled up piece of parchment, tied by a sparkling strand of red ribbon. The tauren curiously picked up the paper, untied the ribbon, and unrolled the letter. It read:
"Dear Sam,
Hi, it's Dorunhiah. I slipped this note into your bag before you left for your adventure in the Storm Peaks to find that dragon. I had a feeling that you would need this motivation after a little bit. I'm not sure when you're reading this, but just know that I wish you the best of luck.
I just want you to know, that if you don't give up and you stay true to yourself, you will find that drake. I believe in you Sam. Remember that time when you found that stone drake and tamed it? Yeah, that was pure luck. I was jealous for a little bit to be honest.. That dragon is probably with you right now, wondering why you don't get back up and fight! Don't give up just yet, please. Think about how happy you'll be once you find it. You will, I promise.
Stay strong,
Dorunhiah"
The Paladin looked up slowly and took in all that she read. "I was about to give up.." She spoke breathlessly to herself. "I'm not a quitter.." She hauled herself onto the saddle on her drake and snapped the reins with renewed determination. "Let's go! We have a drake to find!"
୭ ୭ ୭ ୭ ୭ ୭
A few more hours pass, and the days drag by in the Storm Peaks. The Paladin continued to live off of venison, but the venison was now cooked due to a lesson taught by a random adventurer on how to make a campfire in even the coldest of weathers. The Tauren gained weight and was like her old self before her dreadful journey.
The hours turned to days as she trudged on, waiting for the unknown to walk right in front of her. The chances seemed unlikely, but she pressed on, determined to prove everyone wrong.
A day later, she heard a flapping of wings, but it was not the soft booming sound of a drake. Its screeches sounded like a Cenarion Refuge Hippogryph. She slowly turned her head to the left, afraid of what she might see. Luckily, it was only an inexperienced Draenei from the Alliance, aimlessly flying around.
The hippogryph's reins were yanked every which way, causing the bird to become confused and create a loud, stressful screech. The Paladin chuckled at the man's naïve foolishness, turning her head back towards the mountain where she was waiting for the lost dragon.
"Come on.." She mumbled, the reins of her own drake gripped tightly in her hands. "It's okay.. Come on.." She tries to breathe as quiet as possible, the only sound to be heard is the crackly flapping of her own mount's wings, and the howling of the wind. Silence surrounds her, choking her, causing her ears to ring. The silence and the suspense was maddening, making her head spin.
The Tauren Paladin couldn't take much more of the silence, and more importantly, the cold. White sheets of snow began floating down from the sky, landing on her face and melting into water. Her frozen breath became shivery and light. Unable to withstand the freezing cold air, she huddled up closer to her drake, hoping to stay warm. Unfortunately, the stone dragon's skin was not made of flesh and was too hard to pertain heat.
She began rubbing her hands together, hoping to generate enough body heat to last a little bit longer.
Suddenly, as if on queue, an amber blotch appeared in the distance, heading her way. Her breath caught in her throat. "Could it be..?" The Paladin snapped the reins on her mount, ordering it to fly to the unknown figure ahead of her. As she flew closer, she finally realized what she was seeing. Breathlessly, she gaped at the wonderful dragon before her. Its mouth and eyes were a beautiful blue, sending mists of frost-colored breath behind it as it flew. The dragon's skin seemed to sparkle in the daytime sunlight, giving an amber hue to the air around it. It was amazing, and it was going to be hers.
"Go! Go! Go!" She snapped the reins several more times, forcing her mount to go as fast as possible. Adrenaline coursed through her veins, causing her hands to shake as she got closer, her eyes focused on the wonderful Proto Drake before her.
The impatient Paladin had no time to think, no time to create a strategy of snaring this giant beast into her control. Without a thought, she lunged off of her drake towards the giant dragon. The cold wind howling in her ears blocked out any other noise, it was her and the proto drake now.
'At last..' She thought to herself as she soared through the air. 'At last I have found this magnificent dragon. After days and days of camping out in the freezing wind and cold rain. It's here...'
"And you're mine." She whispered out loud.
This is part of my story that I wrote while camping out! (I finally got him after 8 days of straight camping, don't worry.) Best of luck to you all!

So I was in Storm Peaks for an overall minute and a half flying to Ulduar for a friend and found TLPD lol.

TLPD does NOT despawn!
For years people have spread rumors that TLPD despawns after a while. Nobody had any actual evidence because such rares are heavily camped and it is not possible for it to live long enough to confirm those rumors.
Now I can confirm that it is not true. Today on beta test realm when flying to Ulduar I saw TLPD. Naturally that zone is not camped on beta. Over an hour later he was still flying.

I just saw TLPD spawn at Bor's breath around 09:30 AM.
It got taken by someone I hadn't seen in Storm peaks since the last month that i'm camping there. (typical)
However I decided to go Northrend rare farming since I've seen posts saying it should severely decrease the respawn timer of vyra/tlpd.
On this realm, believe it or not EVERY rare (bar the ones in storm peaks) was up.
I've seen posts saying the cap used to be 2 or 3 up at a time in Wotlk, and upped to 5-6 in cata. I can definately say there is no longer a cap. I killed 23 rares in under an hour.
Hopefully the posts about it reducing the timer are true, I will update this post accordingly.

Still obtainable on 6.0.2.
I don't know if I was extremely lucky but I found him 3 times in a day 2 days ago.
First time was about 5PM server time, someone hit him first as I was about to hit him myself, was sad I'd lost it when it was so close I could taste it, but I went to work and 4 hours later, at 9PM I did another lap because why not, and there it was, near the Engine of the Makers. Killed him and got my mount.
I was so happy about it and I felt so lucky that later on at 1AM my girlfriend had to go do something for a bit and left her account open so I figured I'd do another lap around Storm Peaks. Soon enough, there he was again. Killed it and got my girlfriend the mount.
So yeah, no idea if this has been made easier to get or if I've been incredibly lucky. I know a lot of guildies that are still after it and can't get it.
EDIT: Also, for the love of god, GET NPCSCAN OVERLAY, it helps so much with TLPD it's crazy. I only realised I was messing up on my paths a bit by only following maps once I installed the addon, which makes it extremely easy to follow. As a matter of fact, that day I found him 3 times was precisely right after I installed it.

I camped for 6 days, jumping between Stormscale (high pop) Confrérie du Thorium (low pop RP realm) and Todswache (another low pop realm). I seen quite a few Vyras over the course of the week and only 2 TLPD's.
Here are some of the kill times I recorded from all the realms I hopped to
(note these are realm times, so if you're from the UK like me, the actual times will be -1 hour)
:
Confrérie du Thorium Vyra kills:
Nov 3rd: 4:am, 10:47am
Nov 4th: 1:31am, 6:42am, 1:38pm
Nov 6th: 1:50pm, 7:27pm
Nov 7th: 7:40pm, 12:47am
The only 2 TLPD spawns I seen were on these days/times:
Todswache:
Nov 4th at 10am.
Stormscale:
Nov 8th at 2:54am. (my kill time)
I was inviting myself from Stormscale into one of my alt accounts low pop realms, and right as I was about the click 'Accept' to the party invite, he spawned directly in front. I had hit my TLPD target/kill macro before I was even mentally aware that I had done so. Never in my life of gaming have I ever gotten a rush like that, I was quite literally shaking so much I could barely loot him!
Also worthy of mention, the only 2 times I seen him spawn, he spawned at Bor's Waterfall.
Lastly IMO it's much better to pick one spawn point and camp him rather than fly about, as there will always be someone else at those spawns, and he'll most likely be dead by the time you fly back to whichever spawn he popped up at. This how I missed my first kill, got greedy and impatient and started flying between spawns. Pick a spawn, make a target macro with an instant cast damage ability and spam it.
Hope this info helped, I wish you all good luck, you'll get your beautiful Drake eventually so don't give up!

I don't know if it's just for the lore or something, but I just found a dead TLPD in WoD Nagrand at coordinates (90.54, 29.13) up on the cliff near the time lost ogres. The body doesn't despawn, and it's there across CRZ's. So I dunno, just thought I would share.

TimeLostProtoD
I've been reading the recent comments here with great interest, and felt that I had to set the record straight about exactly what I'm doing out in Draenor.
To be honest, it wasn't my bosses who put a corpse of me there at all. See... that's me. A time-stuck version of me, anyway. Here’s what happened.
When we could first go to Draenor, I took a quick vacation there between patrols around the Storm Peaks to see what it was like. (Such a peculiar place, by the way… my wings were
useless!
I couldn’t fly at all! Most disconcerting.) When I reached this area, I was intrigued by all the
迷时的戈杜尼元素师
and
迷时的戈杜尼食人魔
hanging about, and hailed one, calling him a friend and brother, and asked him how he got the "Time-Lost" part of his name, and if there were any interesting tourist attractions nearby.
Let’s just say he was
not
a friend and brother, and I’m a lvl 80 and he’s a lvl 100. I tried to leap off the cliff so I could glide to safety on my otherwise useless wings, but it was over too fast, and I died in a heap on the cliff edge. After a very frustrating amount of time where I wandered around in ghost form trying to get to my body (
why
couldn't I
fly?
), I was able to rez. There’s something strange about that place, though, because after I rezzed, my other body was still there. I'm guessing because I've never died outside of the Storm Peaks before this. Or else it has something to do with all the "Time-Lost" ogres there. Whatever the reason, it was very discombobulating.
Anyhow, the other ogres were really mean, too, so I made a hasty hearth back to my comfortable, familiar Storm Peaks lair, where I had to make three batches of muffins before my ruffled feelings were soothed. Meanwhile, my mysterious other body still remains lying dead in Nagrand, an embarrassing symbol of all that went wrong on that trip. (Getting smacked by an ogre was just the cherry on top.... all I'm gonna say is that Draenor is a dangerous place for a lvl 80 like me. Especially one who mysteriously can't fly.)
I have already written some strongly worded petitions to my bosses about fixing this, but they apparently find it a matter of great levity. (
I disagree.
) They plan to leave my body there for all you people to see whenever you're riding by, apparently to tease you and make you think "If I had just come by a little sooner, I might have found him alive..." Most mortifying for me, and as for you guys - don't fall for it. I'm really not there.
Vyragosa thinks I got what I deserved for going there at my level, and finds the whole thing hilarious, too. Especially how the great TLPD had to waddle around on foot the entire time he was in Draenor. I should never have told her that part.

They call it "time-lost" because it lost its way in time and spawned in the other timeline of Draenor, in Nagrand. I vote for this truth. They had it planned all along...

Sooo...
These pins are just spawn points... Doesn't he still fly around his path in Storm Peaks? He doesn't just spawn and hover there like a static cloud in the sky. What happened to his flight path colors here in the map picture?
This map isn't very accurate.
He may spawn THERE - but he flies all around the zone and that should be indicated on the map like it used to be - as the main picture.
...fail.

I've been reading some of the posts here, looking for a spawn timer of some sort. It looks like its a random timer between 3-12 hours - presumably from the last time it was killed. Some have suggested its also tied to the Vyragosa spawn. I have not verified this, and am still looking for the TPLD. If this helps anyone, go get your mount, then leave the zone / farming it so others can get it.

Hey all just letting you all know I killed TLPD on Khaz'goroth at 3:42am. Took me 5 weeks of camping. For all those camping, Good luck, keep trying it'll happen eventually. Also try not to freak out like I did and die the first time trying to kill it due to falling, make sure you dismount and if you have an instant cast spell hit that bad boy! :)

Got mine bout 2 hours ago today 13th of june of 2015, at 14:45 Server Time on US-Drakkari.
Killed it at Bor's Breath spawnpoint. Can't say nothing that hasn't been said yet... my previous Vyra kill was @ 08:29.. i also killed gondria earlier the morning as an attempt to accelerate the spawn. Took 6 hours and 16 minutes to spawn.
I had a bunch of Vyra kills under my belt already and had been camping on and off whenever i could for the last month.
Decided to go full camping this weekend and got lucky.
Keep at it fellow campers..
I know is cold out there on Storm Peaks but is so worth it.

I found this macro that I used to take a screenshot of my Voidtalon portal, I haven't found TIme-Lost (yet), but I've hovered over a corpse, and someone riding him (over the icon that says "Time-Lost Proto-Drake") so this macro DOES work. If you want to
nab a screenshot
(while not worrying about taking one yourself), here you go(:
/run local f,x = CreateFrame("frame",nil, UIParent);f:SetScript("OnUpdate", function() if GameTooltipTextLeft1:GetText() == "Time-Lost Proto-Drake" then PlaySoundKitID(11466, "master", true); if not x then Screenshot(); x=true; end end end)
I don't know if this has been posted somewhere in these comments, but yeah(:
Here's another macro I've been using.
/target Vyra
/target Time-Lost
/focus
/run if UnitName("Target") then PlaySoundFile(], "Master"); print(date(), UnitName("Target"), "Found"); SetRaidTarget("target",8); Dismount(); end

Would highly Recommend using an addon that plays a sound file on mouseover. Personally i used
SilverDragon
. As it keeps track of how many times you've seen it, and the last time you did.
Macro used was just a simple target macro:

Okay, I just FINALLY got TLPD so wanted to share my experience because I really used all the past comments on here to help me. Maybe this will helps some of you!
Realm:
Zul'jin (I don't think it's relevant now that we have crz)
Date:
8:30pm PST 7/12/15
Spawn Point:
Bor's Breath (aka frozen lake)
Addons:
NPC_scan & SilverDragon
Total time:
90 hours
As you know, there's 4 spawn points. I decided to sit at one location and not move! Pointless to fly around, there have been between 2-5 people camping at each spot. So I just picked my space and didn't budge.
People would always come along and harass me... try to annoy me so I'd leave, but I learned to ignore them. They will also try to tell you it's not worth it or that it was already captured recently... just ignore them. haha
I work from home and have multiple monitors so I just left the game running and would do work, watch movies, even play Guild Wars 2 while keeping an eye on the screen at all times ;)
Saturday: 4 hrs, nothing
Sunday: 14 hrs, nothing
Monday: 12 hrs, nothing
Tuesday: 12 hrs, nothing
Wednesday: 12 hrs, nothing
Thursday: 12 hrs, Someone killed Vyragosa at Brunnhildar @ 2.:45pm. I flew over to confirm
Friday: 12 hrs, Vyragosa spawned at Bor's Breath @ 11:35am.
Saturday: 14 hrs, Vyragosa spawned at Bor's Breath @ 12 noon AND 7pm
Sunday: 11 hrs, Time-Lost Proto Drake spawned at Bor's Breath @ 8:30pm
Anyway, I personally believe that if you want your best shot at getting TLPD, do it over the weekend when there are more players on. There can only be so many rares in Northrend active at any time. So get a friend to run around and kill them for you (or wait till the weekend when more players are on). Each time a rare is killed, it could get replaced with TLPD. I never noticed an increase/decrease in competition at my spawn point - probably because it is a crz so more players get added during slow times anyway.
My final tip is be ready. Vyragosa spawned 3 times and I got him twice because the other campers weren't paying attention. Same with Time-Lost. I killed him before the other players even knew what happened.
Hope my comments help someone!

I will start this post with talking about how I eventually got the mount, and then move on to tips for the serious campers. If you are just planning on casually sitting at the spawn while watching a movie or queuing for bgs a few times a week, most of my tips won't apply to you. Here goes.
I spent about 100 hours camping TLPD, waking up at 3am to not miss spawn windows, and spending hours at a time waiting. Most of the time was spent casually spamming a target-and-kill macro at the frozen lake spawn. I eventually gave up camping tlpd a month after beginning the search, because of one of the most traumatic experiences I have experienced in front of a computer in my life.
I was hovering above the mountain with no real idea of whether we were currently in a spawn window, as my friend I had met camping and I had missed the last Vyragosa spawn. At this point in camping, I was at my peak interest in getting this mount, seeing five TLPD corpses up to that point. Watching the new Mad Max movie, I casually pressed my macro key bind, and forgot about camping as the movie became interesting. After a little over three hours of camping, I decided that it was reasonable for me to take a five minute break to take the trash out, because what are the chances that anything will spawn now after three hours of sitting here?
Walking back up to my computer, it felt as if my heart jumped into my throat. Literally on top of me, the Time Lost Proto Drake spawned, and began to fly away. I practically dove into my chair, and began slamming keys in an attempt to bring the bird down. However, I was just a little too late. The four seconds I took to sit down and begin pressing keys was about one second too long, and a level 87 passerby picked up their new, golden-brown mount.
From this point on, I slowed down camping dramatically, and three days later I had become a casual camper, only camping a few hours a day, without using the macro. During this period, I was lucky enough to bag the Green Proto Drake, and began to think that it wasn't worth it to spend even more time hunting its more-sought-after Storm Peaks cousin. I began to stop camping all together, finally ending the search about a week and a half ago from today. (September 3, '15)
Fast forward to three days after, I was flying over to Ulduar for a quick tmog and possible mount run, and began to press my macro key-bind just for old times sake. To my surprise, I had almost made it to Ulduar when the macro picked something up, and it was TLPD! However, unfortunately, it showed up as dead on my focus frame. I had learned to not get upset at the spawns you couldn't have done anything about, and just thought, "damn, if I had only been here one minute earlier," as I looked around for the corpse. Not finding anything, I turned around to fly back in a loop, and there it was! Flying away from me, far above, was an alive and well TLPD. In utter disbelief, I flew up, hit it with one deadly Moonfire, and activated flight form before hitting the ground. I was barely able to type in gchat, my hands were shaking so uncontrollably. The mount was mine.
My initial thought was that my luck was truly amazing in that moment. However, then I thought about all the times I may have, and probably did miss the tlpd by minutes or even seconds, flying in and out of Storm Peaks so many times, and spending so many hours there. You will get it eventually, it just depends on how lucky and committed you are.
Now enough rambling, here are my tips, from my many hours of experience:
1. AS OF 6.2.1, THE SPAWN TIME FOR VYRAGOSA AND TLPD IS 4-8 HOURS AFTER THE LAST SPAWN.
I have heard many other hypothesis from other campers, and everything that is different from this is either wrong or outdated. After seeing over fifteen spawns in a row, (with the help of other campers at alternate spawns) I am 100% sure that this is the spawn timer. Sometimes, the spawn was as quick as just over four hours, and we were about to hearthstone at what seemed like over eight hours when one of us would message the other with childish glee, "VYRA!" (after so many hours of waiting for anything, even this useless rare feels like a blessing, allowing you to take a break from camping.)
2. IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO CAMP THIS SERIOUSLY, IT IS AN
ABSOLUTE NECESSITY
TO MAKE FRIENDS.
If you see someone camping at a spot you were planning on spending time at,
please, do not stack.
Instead, introduce yourself and ask if they are camping for tlpd as well. If the seem nice, say something like, "If I see a vyra spawn, I will be sure to let you know. Will you please do the same to me?" Almost everyone will say yes, and if you end up helping each other, both of you can take valuable time to rest (for four hours) before the next window opens. Furthermore, if you are lucky enough to become friends with an incredibly devoted camper, like I was, they might tell you spawns they saw, even when you weren't online. I added six people on bnet over the course of my camp, and one friend from the other faction stayed up for every single window for almost a month. His devotion was unbelievable to me, and since I let him know every spawn I saw, he did the same in return. He would let me know, after my lazy ass slept the whole night without camping, when the last spawn was, so I wouldn't have to start camping until four hours after that point. If you do not make friends with other campers, you will stay up all night looking for a spawn, and you will just wear yourself out and begin to hate everything.
Those are my two major tips that are vital to know other than that, there is:
1. If you are at a spawn with competition, and being nice didn't work, (even if it is horde, try adding them on bnet to talk to them - this worked wonderfully for me) use a target and kill macro to make sure you get the first hit. These are easily findable on the internet.
2. There is a spot between the waterfall and frozen lake spawns where, if you use a targeting macro, will instantly pick up a spawn from either of the two spawns if there is one.
However,
do not use this spot if there is someone camping at either of the two spawns, because they will get the kill if it spawns where they are, and therefore there is no point not to just camp at the other one.
3. With CRZ, there is still a large amount of people camping this mount, so I would strongly recommend sticking to a spawn point and not moving. Patrolling or camping at an intersection is pointless, because most of time, there are people at or near all of the spawn points.
Finally, I will make a list of the spawns of all the sightings I had of TLPD in the 5 or 6 weeks I camped, I know I would be curious if choosing a spawn.
1. Ulduar.
2. Brunnhildar. (a friend got this one)
3. Frozen Lake. (this is the heartbreaking one)
4. Ulduar.
5. Frozen Lake.
6. Frozen Lake. (forgot to mention, this and the previous one was two TLPD spawns in a row, five hours apart, at the same spawn - it is possible - I wasn't there, my super devoted friend told me about it, and got the second one.)
7. *took a week break, was probably at least one spawn here.*
8. Ulduar,
Mine
!
I would say, if you camp this really hard, you will get your mount within two weeks.
Ok, I think that is it. Sorry for my wordiness. Keep at it, just a little bit of luck, and you will get your mount!
Good Luck!
Edited 9/27 for typos.

I was astounded to come across the body of the TLPD last night whilst flying through Nagrand. I hadn't realised it spawned there, as well.
For anyone tracking, that was 0015 Eastern on Alterac Mountains (2015 September 4).

Is the corpse in Draenor an easter-egg or is/was the Time-Lost Proto-Drake actually Kairozdormu? If you've done the quest that leads you to this location then it makes sense, along with all the other "time-lost" mobs wandering around.

Just wanted to say NPCSCAN still WORK with him, i was tabbed out with no mouse-over on his spawn, and figure popped up...just add his ID (don't remember now which one is)

So I decided to camp for tlpd 4 day ago and finally got my mount today! Hooray! Now here is maybe some useful info for some folks. TLPD spawned at the frozen waterfall after 4 hours and 12 minutes after the last vyra kill (which I killed). I killed vyra 2 other times that day, the time intervals were 6 hours and 15 minutes and 5 hours and 27 minutes. I would STRONGLY advise that if you were to kill vyra or know the exact time of death, to resume camping just before 4 hours passes. I used a macro from serrodan on youtube and it worked like a charm! *note* npcscan did go off as well!
Happy hunting, and one last tip: stay in one spot, dont migrate around!

NPC scan and other rare-finder addons will now only automatically alarm for
vignette rares only
(these are rares that show as a star on your mini map).
They no longer automatically alarm when you are near a rare or when one spawns from any expansion earlier than Mists of Pandaria
. This includes
Poseidus
,
Time-Lost Proto Drake
and
Aeonaxx
. It will only alarm if you
target or mouse-over
a non-vignette rare.
It is best to create a target macro for any rare NPC that you are camping because using a rare finder addon alone is no longer reliable.
If you are hoping to sit AFK at a spawn point and wait to hear an alarm, you are wasting your time.
Note: As of patch 7.0, vignette rares will appear as a star on your mini map.

A note on NPCscan from my camping time, which has been very casual (note: I have NOT seen TLPD yet). Yesterday I found Vyragosa early in the morning flying down Bor's breath. NPCscan did not go off--I found her through a target macro. I then added her to custom NPCs (TLPD also added there).
Just now I was camping the frozen lake spawn point, and decided to go get a load of laundry together. I left my mouse hovering over where she should spawn. Moments later, the alarm went off so I ran back, disappointingly, to only find Vyragosa. By the way, I had not cleared my cache between these two events. I can't be sure if the mouseover or adding her to the custom NPC list did the trick.
SO...I suppose the moral of the story/TLDR if you want to utilize NPCscan is:
1.
Add both dragons to your custom NPC list
(NPC IDs can be found in wowhead URL when you are on that NPC's page)
2.
If you camp a spawn point, let your mouse hover over where they should spawn
(
this site
has great pictures)
3.
Use a target macro just in case
Hopefully, all of this will allow you to catch one or both of them even if you want to watch a movie or something.

My time finally came to kill this beast.
Killed @ 10:38 on Sinstralis EU
After around 9-10 days of camping and 95+ hours it was finally my time to kill TLPD.
With the help of my good friend "Caillou", we used his toon on a low pop french realm which he used to give me a "serverlockout" which ment i got to stay and camp on a lowpop realm 24/7. I killed 21 (only 18 ss'ed) Vyragosas before I got to kill TLPD which is awful luck, hopefully you guys wont have to go through what i did. I usually camped during the night, which meant i had alot of Vyragosa kills by realmhopping since camping at day is a struggle, with the amount of people stacking on you. When noone was on late at night, or early in the morning i would usually camp at Frozen Lake spot, since 3 of TLPD's paths leads there.

It's better to camp as druid, because if dead body of Time-Lost Proto-Drake will land somewhere where you can not loot it - druid fly form will still be able to loot it.
Also there is some device that can be used only by engineers that loot all items around you.
Also you can always create a ticket if you unable to loot Time-Lost Proto-Drake and game master should check game logs and see that you actually killed the Proto-Drake and mail you reins of Time-Lost Proto-Drake. But do it immediately after kill, because logs are not stored forever.

Started farming this guy and made a mouseover macro for TLPD. For easy camping, Enable sound but turn off every sound option below
(script sounds are still heard aswell as NPCscan)
.
/run local f,x = CreateFrame("frame",nil, UIParent);f:SetScript("OnUpdate", function() if GameTooltipTextLeft1:GetText() == "Time-Lost Proto-Drake" then PlaySoundKitID(9211, "master", true); if not x then Screenshot(); x=true; end end end)
What this will do is when you mouseover the NPC
迷时始祖幼龙
it will play the soundfile
"mm, unannounced visitors...preparations must be made"
(the voice from aggroing
莫罗斯
in
卡拉赞
. It will also snap a
screenshot
.
If you want to replace the soundscript played you can simply go into any other NPC on wowhead, check the
"Sounds"
tab, choose the sound you want and copy the numbers (in this case /script PlaySoundKitID(
9211
)), remove the ones in the script and add the new one. I also made one that shouts
"YOU ARE NOT PREPARED"
which probably will be easier to hear. Although, i found the moroes one more fitting :).
/run local f,x = CreateFrame("frame",nil, UIParent);f:SetScript("OnUpdate", function() if GameTooltipTextLeft1:GetText() == "Time-Lost Proto-Drake" then PlaySoundKitID(11466, "master", true); if not x then Screenshot(); x=true; end end end)

The hours in between kills range between 4-12 1/2 hours from what I saw. All Vyra/TLPD body timers are from the time it was killed since unless skinned, Vyra and TLPD despawn 30 minutes after they are killed. My kill was at Waterfall.

Up-to-Date Comprehensive Time Lost Proto Drake Camping Strategy Guide
*Before I begin, some (probably) obvious points: You really should not even try this if your below level 80 (even that can be a stretch for some people). Recommended level is 85+. Also, Vyragosa is way more likely to spawn then TLPD (It is RNG tho) so be prepared to see a lot of her. Spawn location is also RNG so there is no noticeable pattern. Get the addons Silverdragon, NPCscan and NPCscan overlay. TLPD and Vyragosa share patrols which you will see on your map with NPCscan overlay. The Storm Peaks is a CROSS REALM ZONE, meaning there will be lots of competition. See the following link to know which server you need to be on if you are tracking a spawn from a server other than your own:
https://www.reddit.com/r/wow/comments/34xah2/who_is_in_your_crz_us/
Okay, now that we have those things covered, lets begin.
I've have read a lot of helpful comments on this page and none of them have covered the strategy quite like I'm about to. Follow this strategy and you will have your TLPD before you know it. What I'm about to explain is absolutely the best way to farm this mount. In a period of 8 days, 5 of our camping party members acquired their mounts and I myself acquired mine 7 days later. (I had to take some time off from camping for work in those 7 days)
Step 1- Know the Spawn Points. TLPD and Vyragosa spawn in Storm Peaks in 4 different locations. They are as follows: "Frozen Lake" at roughly 31,70
http://imgur.com/HfI8XYZ
and you can also try sitting here
http://imgur.com/8bs0Dd2
- "Frozen Waterfall" or "Falls" at roughly 32,76
http://imgur.com/DZu4ET4
- Brunnhildar Village or "BV" at roughly 51,71
http://imgur.com/koYxjNA
- Between Ulduar and Terrace of the Makers or "ULD" at roughly 52.34
http://imgur.com/Ei6bMtv
.
Step 2- Camp in a party of 4 people so you can cover all 4 spawn points at once. Having a party working together is also important for another reason, which I will cover in a subsequent step.
Step 3- Once all points are covered, make sure that you and your party members are in the correct position at your respective spawn points and facing the right way. The images for how to position yourselves are linked above in Step 1 and I will also cover this in more detail in my guide video which I will link at the end of this post (as soon as I've finished it).
Step 4- Have a Targeting Macro and use it. In fact, don't just use it, SPAM it! This is especially important if you have competition at your spawn point. Due to the fact the hunters can lay traps and anyone can stealth, spamming that macro can be the difference between you getting your mount or someone else getting it right in front of you. This is the Targeting Macro I use:
/target Time-Los
/target Vyra
/run if UnitName("Target") then PlaySoundFile(], "Master"); print(date(), UnitName("Target"), "Found"); SetRaidTarget("target",8); Dismount(); end
/cast Avenger's Shield
I got this from another comment on this thread I believe and it works great for me. Make sure you change the part at the end after /cast to something Ranged that you can cast. If it doesn't seem to work for you try copying and pasting it multiple times. You can test it on another player and if it works it should play a sound, dismount you if your mounted and announce in your chat window that "so and so found" with the date and time. This one is nice because it will not only target but also cast for me so as soon as I've targeted, I've also killed. There are multiple good Targeting Macros out there so if this one doesn't work for you, find another. I also recommend setting up your macro on multiple keys on your extra action bar. I have mine on nine different keys like this:
http://imgur.com/D0EQZXE
. It may seem excessive but it allows me to roll my fingers in a constant spam which proved to be highly effective on multiple occasions. Another helpful but not entirely necessary macro to have is this one:
/console cameradistancemaxfactor 5
It allows you to zoom your camera out much further, giving you a better view of your surroundings in the third person.
Step 5- Keep Track of spawns. For those who don't know, TLPD shares a spawn timer with Vyragosa who is another Rare Elite and the timer goes like this. TLPD or Vyra will spawn. If someone is there to get the kill then the timer will start when the corpse despawns. Vyra is skinnable so the timer for her can potentially start sooner. TLPD is not skinnable. Both corpses will despawn 30 min after their killed if not skinned (vyra).
From the moment of despawn, you have 4 hours off where there will not be another spawn. After that 4 hours, another 4 hour window will open in which you will definitely have a spawn.
This is why Step 2 is so important. Having a party covering all 4 spawn points will ensure that you can keep track of the spawn timer and minimize your camping time by only camping when you know there will be a spawn. There has been much debate over the spawn timers but I am 100% certain that this is the correct one. It may have changed over the years but it has been this way since I was camping in 2015.
So that is pretty much it. If you follow these steps then you will minimize wasted time, probably get some cool BOE dragonleather hats (from Vyra), and acquire your very own Reins of the Time-Lost Proto-Drake.
Now for some final notes of speculation. I haven't confirmed this and I don't know how I would, but myself and others suspect that the first spawn after Server reset is always TLPD before Vyra. That is how it's played out the last three weeks and that is really all I have to go off of. I can't remember if that was the case last year so this is highly speculative. Also, I cannot say for sure if a 4 hour downtime (no spawn) starts after server reset or if a 4 hour spawn window starts. Another point of speculation is that if a party member is camping at the same spot as you (say you have more than 4 and two of you are hanging out together), and you get a TLPD spawn, you could possible lose it on a Roll. I say this because I had a party member next to me Need roll on the helm from Vyra when I got the kill and they got the loot. Also because when I looted my Reigns for TLPD I had to roll even though nobody else actually rolled due to their proximity. I suspect if I had someone with me like the time with Vyra when I lost the helm, I might have also lost the mount to a roll. Just a cautionary speculation.
Happy Hunting to everyone! Please do upvote this if it helped you and check back for my Guide Video which I am working on currently and will add to this post as soon as I finish it. Best of Luck!
***UPDATED*** Here is the link to the Step by Step Video Guide:
https://youtu.be/8MCxI9KnftY
****UPUPDATED**** Apparently the new looting system means that competition from within your own party is no longer an issue so that final point of speculation is irrelevant now :D YAAAAAY for that!

So just a heads up, if you're in a group now and close enough to the kill, you will get the mount.
But if your to far away you won't get it. As what happened to me, I was at ulduar and it spawned at Waterfall, was to far away to get it, but another person who was closer but didn't tag it, got the mount.

Some information regarding the new loot system:
I was farming this with a group of 4 other people on my hunter, we were all from completely different servers and had heard about the fact that if someone in your party kills the Time-Lost Proto-Drake then everyone would be able to loot it.
This isn't always the case. One of two specific loot criteria must be met:
1.
Every person in your group -must- tag/damage the Time-Lost Proto-Drake to be eligible for loot. (As suggested by many people previously, the Air Rifle is a great way to ensure everyone is able to tag the target).
-OR-
2.
Every person in your group -must- be from the same 'CRZ' group and within range of the TLPD at the time of killing it.
(Please do not mistake CRZ as merged servers or just servers on your Battlegroup, they are different).
To find out which other servers are attached to your automatic CRZ group please check here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/wow/comments/34xah2/who_is_in_your_crz_us/
Evidence/Explanation:
What happened in our situation was that the TLPD spawned up at Ulduar. We all hurried over there and were all stood next to the drake patiently to ensure that all five of us were in range. One member of our group then killed the TLPD. There were many cheers all around - until we noticed that the body wasn't sparkling.
It turned out that because that player was on a separate CRZ to the rest of us (I was on Moon Guard which is listed as Los Angeles RP, the other player was from Fizzcrank which is listed as Chicago PvE) the other player was able to loot the mount and items from the Drake, but no one else was able to as they were not on the same CRZ and had not damaged the Drake.
I did try to contact a GM regarding this and was told they weren't sure what the reasons were along with a number of different copy-paste answers... Since I wasn't happy with the lack of information from the GM I went on to do my own tests and found that:
If I was in a group from someone from my CRZ - regardless of level or whether both character tagged the target or not, both characters were eligible for loot so long as they were in range of the target at the time it was killed.
EG:
A level 100 killed a target in a starting zone and a level 1 in group (who did NO damage to the target) were both able to loot it under personal loot while in party together despite the level 1 not tagging it.
When I tried this with a level 1 from a CRZ listed outside of my CRZ group; the level 1 was NOT able to loot the target creature at all if it was killed by the level 100 and the level 100 was not able to loot if the level 1 killed it.
Summary:
Either group with people from the same CRZ grouping as yourself (see the reddit link above) or ensure that -everyone- is able to tag the Time-Lost Proto-Drake BEFORE killing it.
Hope this clears some issues up and prevents people going through the heartbreak that I did when only one person in our group - after a wait of well over 10 hours - got to loot him. :(

Which means we could form a party of five and camp/kill him together and all of us get the mount?

I know it'll get a down-vote but asking anyways. In Nagrand I saw one dead, came here and saw that it's now located in Nagrand as well as Northrend, but every time I see him, he's dead. Skipping through some screen shots here, for Nagrand he's dead.
Does he spawn in Nagrand to be killed for a mount? or is he always dead in Nagrand, to farm/camp I need to be in Northrend?

Small warning about the new looting system.
It is true that you can farm for this kind of rare while being in a group, but, as a raid,
only the first 5 characters who tag it will be eligible for looting
.
That being said,
3 additionnal people
not being in the same group as you
can tag the rare, so, you can farm this being up to
8 people
, including a maximum of 5 from the same group.
If you're 6 in the same group, the last one to tag the
迷时始祖幼龙
will not get its
迷时始祖幼龙的缰绳
, so I hope this message save some person from being really disappointed to not be able to loot it.
_
These information were provided by a Game Master, after one of the guys in our group was not able to get its mount.

I have finally got all of the rare spawn mounts in the game and I want to share how I got them all with no camping. What I did was I looked for the smallest realm clusters, this means, I did not bother with any PVE normal realms. On EU, I chose a normal RP English realm, a normal RP French realm, a RPPVP French realm (RPVP realms are always the smallest clusters), and RP German realm. I simply parked a bunch of useless alts at the spawn points and I would log in at random times and spam the macros that can be found on the comments.
I found that the sweet spot where there would be the least competition is around 05:00am - 09:00am realm time on weekdays. I never bothered logging in during weekends because I knew that's when people would be on 24/7.
In TLPD's case, it was probably the easiest one to get because of how the spawns work. Over the course of four days I found 25 Varygosas (around 15 were my kills) and 3 TLPD corpses before I got it. I gathered it wouldn't be as diffucult as other rare spawns because of how many Varygosas I was seeing. I just told myself that eventually one of those will be the TLPD.
It's easier to get than other rares because if you log in and find a corpse or spawn, you make a note of the time and then return in four to six hours. I had times noted across multiple realms and eventually found many that had spawn windows within the 05:00am - 09:00am time frame. I found my TLPD at around 06:30 realm time on a French RPVP realm at Bor's Breath. In fact most of the spawns that I saw seemed to be around Bor's Breath. I also think that a big psychological advantage to getting it would be to skin the Varygosa corpses. If someone else sees it then they know when to come back for a spawn. Many times I saw people appearing when the spawn window was opening.
Perhaps the most frustrating point in my experience is when I had the spawn windows on lock down on two realms and I slacked in logging in and logged in around half an hour later than I should have and then saw the TLPD corpse targeted when I spammed my macro. It gets even worse because when I logged in to another realm cluster, I saw another TLPD corpse at the same time and almost the same location. but like I said, I found so many spawns over the course of just four days that I knew one of those spawns will be the TLPD. Unlike Aeonaxx where his corpse and bloodseeker spawns despawn almost immediately.
Just wanted to share a way to get this if you don't want to camp it for hours on end at a time, and aren't desperate to get it ASAP. I went in with the mentality that I would eventually find a spawn by scouting multiple realm clusters at obscure times.

I am still baffled by what just happened to me.
I was afk camping a shared spawn for Skoll and TLPD on my level 80 hunter while doing homwork, because I wanted to tame Skoll. I'd been doing this all morning.
At around 1 PM server time I decide to quickly go and call my bank to sort out some stuff like a True Adult (TM).
When I come back 10 minutes later, my character's dead. Weird, because I was on my flying mount. Did an enemy player gank me? I go to the Combat Log tab.
"Time-Lost Proto Drake hit you for xxx damage.
Time-Lost Proto Drake hit you for xxx damage. (...)"
That was 2 minutes ago. This is when I go "WTF?" and frantically resurrect, mount up and fly around the TLPD's route in the hopes that no one else found him during those 2 minutes. I'm so tense at this point, especially because my NPCScan would have gone off when he spawned and killed me, so it probably wouldn't if I saw him again.
And that's when I see him. On the ground. Dead. Someone else got him.
I'm not even mad. Disappointed, of course. But the sheer irony of the situation is just too ridiculous to not find funny.
The hunter became the hunted. To this day I have never, ever seen the Time-Lost Proto Drake alive, but he has seen me, and killed me.

I've killed Vyragosa 27 times, missing 4 Vyra spawns and 1 TLPD spawn (it spawned 2 hours after I killed a Vyra - this was about 10 days ago) over the course of 16 days. I am camping on 3 bnet accounts.
1 hour power naps aren't so bad.
:(
Soon right?
Oh i also did this 3 years ago, killing Vyragosa 8 times over 3 weeks. (1 account)
The most Vyra kills before getting tlpd I've seen on here was 18, and that guy saw 3 dead ones first.
I'm nice to every single player I meet in Storm Peaks and have convinced many Ally to make a Horde Dh and camp with me. Even the ones that spam kill my 90 dk and we all know how that feels.
Hell I even made a wowhead account just to post this. Figured if anyone at all is having the terrible time I'm having, they'll want to know someone else is in the same boat.
For me though, looks like its a one-seated boat. I don't need to tell you what real-world sacrifices I have made for this thing.
Pasted this comment on the 'reins of ...' as a warning or story, you decide! :/
EDIT: got it, I was at waterfall when a party member killed it at Bors Breath so if you camp with a party member at Bors/wf then you have a 50% chance of getting a Vyra/tlpd spawn right off the bat :). HUGE +rep to GM Nythandar for sorting that out! (I opened a ticket because I couldn't loot the corpse) 6:30pm Twisting Nether 27th Dec.

My TLPD story (this is long sorry)
We'll start with the release of wrath of the lich king. In 2008 I was living with a friend in Brooklyn. He had been playing WoW from its initial release, and I had never touched it. He convinced me to join, although I admit I didn't put up much of a fight. I made a rogue. I got hooked.
Upon reaching 55 I instantly started a dk (frost) and loved it. If I remember correctly at some point unholy was the dw spec then. Somewhere between starting my dk and hitting 80 I moved out of that apartment and then a few months later took few years off of WoW during a period of life re-evaluation.
When I resubbed in maybe 2010-11 ish (honestly I don't remember) that dk was still sitting at 80 and parked in the storm peaks. I found myself remembering that I loved the snow and was mesmerized by all these blue drakes, until I came across a large different looking blue elite for the first time: Vyragosa. At this point I wasn't all too concerned with hunting elites or achievements, or even mounts, but naturally I thought "maybe she drops some good loot." I took her down after a little bit of a fight (remember I was still a technically fresh 80) and then consulted the Internet to see what she was all about.
That's when I found out about Time-lost. Not a crazy ton of (accurate) information had been gathered at that point, he was more like a ghost, a dark whisper of a truth, an urban legend. But people had come across him in the storm peaks, and he dropped a mount, and I decided I would give it a go.
The first week was awful and it was admittedly 100% my fault. I hadn't done the proper research so I wasn't aware of any elite scanning add-ons so I parked myself in between the engine of the makers and the brunnhildar spawn spot because one recurring piece of information was that he'd been spotted there amongst the blue drakes. I lost sleep. I lost track of time. My friends got worried. Anyone who did this years ago remember the spawn timers were a ton worse then, but I didn't know enough about how and when it spawned, only that it shared a timer with Vyragosa. I thought "there has to be a better way to do this." I discovered NPCScan and kept at it. The end of my second week of camping rolled around. I had seen Vyragosa maybe 5 times total in that time frame, but in her and tlpds defence, I wasn't camping smartly. Without realizing it, I was out there around 3 weeks. My eyes burned constantly. I started to feel sick.
I thought again, "there HAS to be a better way to do this." I started wondering if my time would've been better spent leveling. I doubted I would ever see it. Then it happened. I logged in one night and NPCScan went off. Those drums and that blaring horn. My heart jumped. I stopped breathing. I immediately mounted and it took me 3 seconds before I found it...dead. While discouraging, that to me was at least a sign that this damn thing was real. I was so annoyed I couldn't even be angry.
I found a very very resourceful website (ponds) that gave me a ton of information that was extremely valuable. Armed with an arsenal of new information and newfound optimism, I reset myself and geared up for another round. I knew my spawn points, I knew the approximate spawn timers, I knew not to trust a damn soul out there in that snowy tomb. The next 2 weeks were just as bad, with the exception that I killed Vyragosa at least 10+ times (I lost my notebook where I was logging these kills), wished I was hunter so I could've tamed skoll (I think his spawn timer was much shorter then, and I know I have a hunter, haven't bothered to get him lol) and only saw the tlpd once- I relogged...directly on his corpse. No lie. By the end of what was basically the second month, I gave up. In 2013 I quit WoW. My Vyragosa kills count was at least over 20 at that point.
When legion rolled around I resubbed. I was enjoying things (and really disliking some things), but it wasn't until I had to venture to the storm peaks to get titanstrike on my hunter that I started to wonder about tlpd again. Just seeing "the storm peaks" flash across my screen made me gag just slightly. But things had changed now. Mounts were now account wide and I had come across a few people riding him since resubbing. Group tagging had also been implemented, making group spawn point camping an even more viable and useful way to do it. On top of that, the spawn timers had been decreased. Lots of changes.
So parked my dk in the storm peaks (mainly because I was focusing on leveling my hunter and my rogue in the broken isles) at a spawn point - brunnhildar. Brunnhildar village was the place where during my last excursion years go I had logged the most Vyragosa kills. Every night at odd hours I'd log into the dk just the survey the scene - see who was in the area and willing to share information. I met quite a few fellow campers, and shared camping stories. I decided I would get this thing, but not at the cost of my health.
I met a fellow camper who had been out there around 4-5 days. I told him my story and gave him one name to change his world: Silverdragon. He told me that, like me, he had been camping out there off and on for around 3 years and he wanted to get it even if it killed him. His reignited my desire for the damn thing. Within a few hours of that session Vyragosa spawned and was killed. We kind of silently understood to meet back there at our respective spawn points and start the clocks again. This continued on for another 3 days. We brought people into our group whenever we were there. People came and went. But we stayed vigilant and held our ground.
12/26/2016, 5:30am EST. I'm sitting at brunnhildar, another person we brought into our group was out bors breath, my trusty camping partner at waterfall. It had just about reached the 7 hours since last Vyragosa spawn time. About 15 minutes earlier I had said around 5:30 I'm calling it a night. I was remembering why I stopped camping in the first place. Then in group chat I read it: "IT'S HERE / COME QUICK OMG." Nothing can prepare you for that. You go over your rules, how to make sure everyone gets a tag in, but when it's happening you panic. It was our newest recruit at bors breath (a spot that is reported to be the most common spawn spot go figure). My heart stopped. I immediately took off in his direction. I think he may have been in shock too because when I caught up to him and the tlpd they were right past valkyrion heading towards ulduar. We both tagged him and then my heart stopped a second time. I realized my faithful camping partner, the guy with undying optimism, was afk. I panicked the second time. Was he asleep? Something? We didn't know. We typed frantically in group chat. We werent sure what to do, but we knew we didn't have much time. We had to make a split second group decision. He was still AFK. There were others bearing down on us. I'm pretty sure neither of us were breathing. So we took it down. We looted, we celebrated, but in the back of my mind I felt completely awful and a touch guilty for my camping friend. Despite that, I still got my MOTHER F*CKING TIME-LOST PROTO DRAKE! So to those who are still camping, don't give up, get a group together, and take care of yourself out there.

You may care to download my Rare Love add-on over at
WoW Interface
or
Curse
.
It is simply one macro for all your Squirrel "love", pest and rare achievements through to the end of MoP.
The other three non-achievement NPC rares from Northrend are also included. Namely,
古德利亚
,
逐日
and
迷时始祖幼龙
.
You'll spam press a macro button created by Rare Love but when the add-on itself kicks in there is a whole lot more, including progress tallies after each kill/love.
Most importantly, it runs lean and clean. Little cpu/fps impact and a tiny memory footprint.

This is exactly what it took to get my very own
迷时始祖幼龙
.
Start a party or join a group in your
"CRZ" Cross-Realm Zone
and keep between 4-5 people so that the 4 spots are covered, and the additional person can fly around and cover breaks so that you never miss a spawn. I can
CONFIRM
if you are in a party and each person tags it by means of taunt, damage, non-damage abilites, each person will get the Timeless Proto-Drake. I have personally experienced it myself. Make sure you set up a macro as well or have silverdragon to notify others in your group so that they can get over to you in time.
I would suggest finding a few people who are going to stay patient and dedicated to camp this drake. Trust is important and getting information from others can help you keep at it. Add each other on Battlenet, and constantly update each other if a person is out and missed a spawn.
You can ask in General chat and see what others come up with regarding spawns but be weary of the infromation you get, and
NEVER share your data unless you are prepared for many people to stack on you.
For starters you need to understand the four spawn points in The Storm Peaks of Northrend which are
/way 31.6, 69.5 Lake
/way 35.3, 76.8 Falls
/way 51.0, 71.3 Village
/way 52.3, 34.7 Ulduar
Many speculate that there is other spawn points but I haven't seen enough proof to spend my time on it.
维拉苟萨
shares the same spawn and spawn time as the TLPD.
You will get sick in tired of seeing her and killing her will keep you at peace. The spawn time has been said to be anywhere between 45mins-24hours. I myself noticed it
usually is 4 hours to 6 hours and sometimes has gone on up to 7 hour or so, usually if it goes anywhere passed that you will start thinking you missed a spawn.
Once you kill
维拉苟萨
you could either wait 45mins or go relax until the spawn time window opens up which seems to be 4 hours after her despawn or skinned.
维拉苟萨
is the only one which can be skinned, and both TLPD and
维拉苟萨
if not skinned will take 30mins to despawn.
I have seen some say that if there is too many rare spawns up that it will not spawn
迷时始祖幼龙
or
维拉苟萨
. I myself do not believe that to be accurate as most spawn times have been pretty accurate during the typical 4-6 hour window.
Addons
I suggest grabbing these addons and be sure to adjust/test your alert sounds, and be sure to add TLPD/Vyragosa to custom npcs just to be 100% it will alert you that they are up if they are flying in your screen. Silverdragon is pretty great and in fact will notify whichever channel you designate to by scrolling over with you mouse over the rare it will alert your party.
NPCSCAN, NPCSCAN overlay
Silverdragon
Rarescanner
Macro
I used below. I reccommend tagging it through a taunt or non critical spell so that you do not kill it if you are in a party with others, and you want to make sure others have a similiar macro so that you can spam it if you have stackers. (I used my mouse wheel) This is the macro I used as a Guardian druid but you can change out the Growl and replace it with your own taunt or ability.
/target Time-lost
/cast Growl
/target vyra

I just wanted to add my interesting findings to this as well without a long winded story of camping. Yes, I killed Vyra >30 times over the years and never ever the TLPD dead or alive. Then. It spawned on me once and I lost it to a hunter (Feb 8th 2017) hunting for the pet to tame :(
It then spawned directly on me on Feb 13th 9:43am and I lost it to another hunter as I was in shock that it spawned and wasn't quick enough :(
Feeling quite down but still camping It actually spawned directly on me againat 1:43pm that same afternoon and and I got it (as did 3 other party members)
I ALSO saw it dead at Rohemdal Pass at 8:59pm that evening as well!
That's 3 times in 1 day confirmed
, I have the screen shots with the time stamps and the mount from the 2nd kill. I couldn't believe it but it did happen so don't get too wrapt up and down if you miss it, it IS possible that you can see it again very quickly.
I was not using any type of Cross Realm Addons or anything.
I also come across it again on the 18th Feb again flying around the zone, followed it for ages whilst i called for others to come get it, added them to party and they killed it.. Got 5k gold gifted to me for my efforts :D
I can also confirm from 2 kills getting it for 8 people that you do NOT need to tag it, just be in range to see it when its killed so DO NOT panic and tap it, just be in party and in range (if you can SEE the mount and in party, you'll get it when its killed) and wait for people to get in range. All have a
红色骑兵气枪
and the FIRST person to see it tag it with that to ensure the mount, macro an alert to party saying 'COME HERE NOW' and wait. I know this is hard, I had Adrenalin pumping madly at both kills even though I already had it (for the second kill).

For those that need proof that it can be looted by multiple people:

At least half the people I tried to group with didn't believe that multiple people could loot. Thank you to that guy for believing, I hope this helps people in the future.

Spotted and killed on Wyrmrest Accord - US @8:01a.m. central.
Had our warrior taunt it and invite a few of us to a party. He held aggro until we made it to Storm Peaks and we were all able to loot it once killed.
Happy hunting!

Guys. I share all of your pain. I really do. Its been 6 effing years, i have had multiple dates with vyragosa and they have all effin sucked too. Lemme start with this, which I know I am gunna get ^&*! for. I hate realm hopping and despise it with a passion. It has ruined the aspect of something being rare, if someone can just hop around to different servers at the click of a damn button. So, ive never realm hopped(other than to play with other friends or because of the way the group finder works) I recently lost the tag of the timelost proto drake, after being DISCONNECTED mid shot when trying to tag him, and logged back in to an alliance dancing with his dead corpse. long story short, they were an %^&*!@# about it too. I finally said you know what, #$%^ it. I payed the 25$ for a realm switch, and legitimately realm hopped for good. Now to the good part :) It tok 3 days for the realm transfer to go thru, so I was sad about that but oh well. I logged in before work the other morning, at around 832 am, and flew directly to the storm peaks. i kept telling myself, ready for vyragosa. I flew RIGHT into bors breath spamming my macro, and my damn computer went insane. i looked over form the tv, and saw timelost! this was absolutely the most hearth thumping expierence in WoW while mount hunting. I flew right up to him spamming my cobra shot macro, and killed him. I died THREE times trying to loot his corpse in panic, certain he would despawn on me. The nice part about it too, it took 15 minutes for anyone else to stumble upon me with the timelost. That right there means, chances to share it with friends! Good luck to you all on your camp, and I hope no ones wasted 6 damn years like i have. Truly have had some time lost with this one ;)

We got him as a team of 5 today on the realm Ragnaros with my team. We started on a Friday afternoon and got him two days later on Saturday without missing any spawns. For me he was a very special mount because he was my 250th.
Vyragosa
is skinnable and reduces the spawn timer by about 30 minutes BUT TLPD is NOT skinnable (couldn't upload screenshot sadly). Watch some videos for exact spawn locations.
Vyragosa skinned every time,
SPAWN LOG
as follows:
1.) Northern point: Vyragosa killed by us at 18:10
2.) Northern point: Vyragosa killed by us
5:00
hours later at 23:10
3.) Bor's Breath: Vyragosa killed by us
5:50
hours later at 05:00
4.) Bor's Breath: Vyragosa killed by us
6:04
hours later at 11:04
5.) Waterfall: Vyragosa killed by us
6:02
hours later at 17:06
6.) Brunnhildar Village: TLPD killed by us
7:10
hours later at 12:16
TLPD despawned 24 minutes later at 12:40.
The most important thing is to be very serious about this and be well-prepared. Read up and watch all videos on Youtube before attempting to camp the drake because there will be competition on both sides, alliance and horde, that I can guarantee. I wouldn't recommend you trying to phase to different servers. Start on one server on one location and stick to it.
If you are doing this with a
team
, make sure to cover all spawn points and don't move, it is best to get him right after he spawns, before he starts to fly around. If you are the one spotting him, tag him but be so kind to not kill him right away, wait for the others to get there.
And most importantly NEVER miss a spawn, keep a log of all spawns and try to work with your chances.
How does tagging work?
It means that you mark the npc as your own. All of the team mates will get in combat in a specific radius around the tagged npc and will be eligible to loot him. This way all of you can loot the mount if you wait for them to arrive and get into combat, but it is enough if one person in the team tags him. This obviously dowsn't work with other players who are not in your group.
You can use any spell to tag TLPD that doesn't do damage (to avoid oneshotting him). Taunts, CC, ... or the
Red Rider Air Rifle
from Toy vendors. Keep in mind that the toy has a 1+ second cast time.
Storytime:
He spawned right on me and i was able to taunt him instantly using a target-taunt macro as a druid. I notified everyone in the team. They were camping all other spawn points, they had to fly to me. Than the DK in our team decided to kill the drake before 2 of the team members could get there and therefor they couldn't loot the mount. DON'T BE THAT DK! Please be respectful and wait for all others if you are in this situation. I hope I could help you.
GOOD LUCK. You can do it if we did!

Ok now that 7.2.5 is Live and Tomb Of Sargeras is open, i decided to start my hunt to the time lost proto drake. As all of you know it is a rare spawn of Vyragosa, a blue dragon that flyes sometimes in Storm Peaks. This dragon after his death takes 30 minutes to despawn. After the despawn there is a 4 hours "closed window" where it wont spawn, after that the window will be "open" and in the next 4 hours a Vyragosa or a TLPD will 100% spawn. The chance to see a TLPD is very very low, you will start hating the blue dragon, The spawns on the map are correct. i recomend you to make a macro with an instant spell and bind it to your mause schroll. With CRZ is a real nightmare to camp this thing, there will be always someone sit in the spawn, in the evening all spawns will be already covered, i recomend you to have 3 TRUSTED friends and put each one of them in a spot and wait, during the few days i camped i've seen the worst of people, trolls with the tlpd showing you and trying to steal it from you, people that dont want to group because they want the toy only from themselves, hunter, people of opposite faction and so on... I camped for few days with 3 people and this is the result, the realm in "pozzo dell eternità" a normal CRZ realm.

These are the only spawns I personally saw, not reporting from other people. obviously im missing the 2 spawns in the morning and before lunch, because i didnt spent the whole day in it.
After this period of camping i decided to give up and farm other things.
fast forward to today 21-7-17.
I was doing my daily quest "abberration must die" as every day... 10.something in the morning... Gilmore girls in the background, I complete the quest and on my way back to brunhilldar,I've saw a couple of videos of people randomly finding the TLPD near the Engine of the Makers, so I keep my eyes open, I see a couple of guys flying, and a warlock sitting in the frozen lake spawn, when my NPCscan report me of TIME LOST PROTO DRAKE, oh #$%^ I started trembling, I see it is huge, i fly at my 280% speed, in that moment I was thinking: if only i spent 4k to have 310%, people havent noticed it, maybe afk, i oneshot him with moonfire, i use the Goblin Gilder to not die falling and I loot it.
So I Highly recomend you to use NPCscan, it will be your best friend.
So sit in one spot and spam the macro,bring with you friends, you will eventually get it and you will be part of the 5% players that have it, Good Hunt!

I just found him around 3:43PM server time on Sargeras 09/28/2017. I'm not sure where he spawned but I came across him while it looked like he was flying from the Crash Site direction, over to the Village South-East. He was flying right over the Engine of Makers when I killed him and fell right down the hole. I was shaking for a good ten minutes. A miracle he hadn't been tagged! NPC scan picks him up from quite a far distance as well. As far as how high he was, it seems as if he was near where the blue drakes fly around. Definitely high enough to kill you, but not ridiculously high like some of those mountains go in Storm Peaks (not as high as the Terrace of the Makers area, at least when he's over the Engine of Makers). Another note is it took him until 4:14PM server time to despawn, so about 25-30 mins. UNREAL! Good luck to you all. :)

Killed @ Cenarion Circle, 12:47 AM EST, I caught it flying around so formed a full group and got people their mounts.
Checked again on Cenarion Circle, solo camper had gotten it at 11:26 AM EST.
Back to back spawns are real, first time I've seen it happen. Good luck to all going for it. :)

Killed on Frostmourne Oceanic at 9:14pm - 24/10/2017
Camped for the last week, and wasn't actually camping this time but logged into this alt for run Hallows End, and silverdragon went off. I though oh must be dead, but he was flying towards me. Flew to him as quick as possible, didn't even get a screenshot until after I killed it.
Very exciting to see this thing flying, killed and looted and mandatory screenshots taken after the kill on mount. Good luck to anyone camping this. Have faith it will come. In saying that I did not camp very long compared to others.
All up I camped a week and a half so was very very lucky.

It has been years that I have come to this frozen land in the hopes of capturing The Time Lost Proto Drake. I am sitting here by my little cozy campfire...the air is crisp, yet foggy. In the distance the clouds float dancing in the Northernd skies, the Moon of Argus grows eerily green...makes me wonder what monstrosities strive up there. I have yet to see any sign of this magnificent creature they call The Lost Proto Drake, or its companion Varagosa. It's very quiet out here, as in no one is stirring. My fire is growing dimmer as it starts to burn out...I may have to start another one soon here. I take time out to read the forums of countless others who have sought this creature, and they too, are no strangers to the presence of silence. There are "times" they have seen this creature, some luckier then others, some...well...disappointed in their findings...someone else just downwind has managed to kill that beast, better words, drake...that long-lost-forgotten drake. I do hope I find my luck today...for my rations are getting low, and the chill is growing ever so strongly in my bones. For this day I hope my silence is broken by the sound of my horn from my addon, NPC Scan...that my friends...would make my day, if not my week! To all our fellow hunters out there...The best of luck!

I became interested in this mount in early 2012. My first attempts at getting it were pitiful, but they were attempts. Yet every time I'd log in too late or find one dead on my way to Ulduar, I would give up for another few months.
Until now.
I began camping hardcore on Friday, 20th October. I joined groups from the group finder and we spread out across the four spawns. After two days of camping, instead of Vyragosa a Time-Lost Proto-Drake spawned at the Waterfall. I flew as fast as I could; alas, the rogue had neglected to remove his necklace with the Hidden Satyr enchant. The beast was slain, and I had no mount.
Instead of discouraging me, this drove me to new levels of determination. The very next day, I started up my own group. I made absolutely sure to instill in everyone the idea that the Drake was not to die before everyone had arrived.
From Monday, 23rd to Sunday, 29th, these were our spawn times and locations on Darkmoon Faire EU:
Monday
12:47 - Ulduar Ravine
17:44 - Waterfall

Sunday

13:28 - Waterfall - TLPD
As you can see, we may have missed the occasional spawn, but there were no confirmed TLPD kills during our camp. My realm has a tiny population, so there was little competition. When the TLPD finally decided to spawn at my camp spot (Waterfall), I called my companions to join me as fast as they could. When the warlock used his rifle, his imp attacked too. Our rogue was now without a mount.
He had been with me since monday. We all submitted a ticket and begged for pity. Two hours later, he too had become the owner of a Time-Lost Proto-Drake.
Thank you for reading my story.
TLDR: Group up. Remove any potential incidental damage. Find a sparsely-populated realm if you can. If someone pops up by your spawn location and you have a spot left in the group, offer to invite them; if you don't have a spot in the group, tell them you'll invite them if a spot opens up. Make friends. Track spawn times. Keep each other entertained.
Good luck!

It is *possible*, although far from confirmed, that the spawn timer of TLPD was changed recently, alongside Poseidus and some other world rare spawns. A group of approximately 8 of us has been working together when we've been online to track this down and to the best of my knowledge we only missed 2 total spawns of either Vyra or TLDP in a 6 day window.
Our theories over the course of this adventure that ***may or may not hold true***:
1. The window appears to be 4-8 hours, instead of the generally assumed 4-7. We had three separate instances where it spawned between the 7 and 8 hour marks, and it's extremely unlikely that we missed an early spawn somewhere, as we had someone at all 4 spawn points nearly 100% of the time.
2. Either we got very lucky, or there may have been some aspect of the "Stacked Deck" element introduced to TLPD's spawn chance. Every TLPD we saw was ,
on average, about 22-30 hours after the previous one (which could theoretically coincide with the "deck" resetting at Tuesday's maintenance, and then becoming gradually more stacked at each Vyra spawn throughout the day), and it was fairly reliably every 4th, 5th, or 6th spawn from the previous TLPD, culminating with our last two "group" members getting theirs at about 10 am this morning.
Again, we haven't tested this past the 6 days it's taken all of us to get the mount. Generally we could get 1-3 of us to a particular spawn before someone not in the group one-shotted it, so we've had several straight days of camping to notice these patterns, but it could be a fluke. That said, 5 TLDP spawns in 6 days seems to be much less painful than it generally has been. Good luck with all your mount hunts, and please add your information if you can positively confirm or deny this possibility (ie. you actually saw all the spawns for 2-3+ days.)

After over 2 days of camping and 15 Vyragossa kills I got this one. Most of the spawns were about 4-5Hours our longest Vyragossa was 6:20h. I heard that The Proto has to spawn once minimum in 3 days after the last kill and our proto spawned 69 hours after the last kill so 3 hours away from the 3 days which means that these theory may be right. The Proto spawn was by far the longest it took nearly 8 hours to spawn after last Vyragossa kill which is 1:20h longer then the longest Vyragossa out of 15. A Pala taunted and killed it after our tag and wasnt able to loot so and a GM said he wasnt able because my group tagged it first so I dont know if this 8 people can loot it thing is true he wasnt in our group.

I got this mount today! I am on the Barthilius server and I killed Vyra at Foot Steppes at 1:50pm and then the TLPD I saw flying around Bor's Breath at 5:30pm. I've spent years on and off camping and never actually seen the TLPD until today. Almost fainted :D

My adventure with this chap began 9 years ago, 3 times i crossed paths with him - never really knowing what it was and for some reason was not curious either. I don't recall, but I assume i just thought it was a world mob/boss and it wasn't relevant to me at the time. This was before addons and wowheading everything.
I have never truly "camped" this drake.
But around 2 years later I found out what it actually was, ever since I have felt the desire to make it mine.
Me and WoW have an on-off relationship (but never has it affected my curious desire to finally get TLPD) and i skipped the most of MoP and WOD. So for the entire of Cata, Most of legion and bits of MoP & WOD i played i always came back to Storm Peaks, sometimes for a fly over - other times staying a few hours. You get that feeling everytime you leave that you will miss it, but real life must come first.
Fast Forwards, 35+ Vyra kills and seeing the corpse of TLPD about 5 times I once again lost complete interest. CRZ came along and screwed up this area of the game for a lot of people, doesn't help i play on a medium-high pop realm there's always loads of people around.
Tried grouping up, camped for hours or until a Vyra spawn - couldn't reliably return in 4 hours as I can't commit myself to a game like i once was able to (IRL).
So reading this thread i thought why not create an alt on a low pop German RP Realm, so I did - and i was making a challenge of it myself how quick i could do it.
Human Pala (20% mount speed) > Disable Addons > Login > Hearth > Drag Mount and Macros onto action bar as i HS > Accept Legion Quest > Fly to SW Harbour > Skip the sequences > Arrive in Dala and Portal to Wyrmrest Temple > Fly to Storm Peaks and put Judgement and Bubble on Action Bar > Check for TLPD.
Done this 4 times and had Vyra twice.
This whole sequence takes me about 10 mins per character including doing a lap of storm peaks.
I got some food and done a PUG Antorus Raid Quickly.
As i returned i thought i would do one more character before going off, instead of flying my normal route along bors breath covering Brun Village and Terrace of the Makers for some reason i flew straight to where i seen him all 3 times those 9 years ago.
As soon as i got near it "BOOM" my SilverDragon goes off as NPCScan no longer works for me (at all).
It all happened so quick, what was only a split second was broke down in my head furiously.
I remembered i didn't have Vyra in my targetting Macro, it had to be TLPD !
So I actually took the smart move to just look at my screen and he's right there in my face. In the exact same spot I saw him 9 years ago - flying over the Engine of the Makers.
I have a "Who" macro so i keep track of who was in Storm Peaks, but i didn't know if there were any Horde so i just wasn't chancing anything - i took the quick screenshot and smashed judgement, i was falling to the bottom of the Engine of the Makers and i panicked, is this an area of instant death (unaccessible terrain) or am i alive?
I Hit Bubble and boom, i'm alive and my timewasting friend is right next to me.

It's where i on off searched TLPD for hundreds of hours in grand total (Bor's Breath) and the actual location in the background where i first found him 9 years ago and subsequently ending up obtaining it right there <3

From my experience it will spawn 4-7 hours, if you see Vyra come back in 4 hours as the corpse takes 30 minutes to de-spawn. If solo on a low pop realm go to the broodmothers nest 38,65 as you cover most of the flight radius. If on a high pop realm then try to go off peak hours and camp a spawn, if doing with a group ensure they take on hit damage trinkets off, have Red Rider Air Rifle to aggro and tag the mob safely. You can buy this item from toy vendor in Stormwind, Orgrimmar and Dalaran. Setup Macros for Party Chat to save time typing come here guys etc.
I would recommend the approach of random checks on multiple realms over outright camping - you will become frustrated where-as finding it on a random swoop gives you a sweet surprise, or heart attack.
Good luck to all and keep the faith, it will happen.

I got this mount before the new loot rules. I killed TONS of vyragosa's and found dead TLPD's also, I missed him by mere seconds or minutes due to afk(falling a sleep) or dropping soda in my keyboard, even going to the bathroom proved enough to miss it. I think it is great that you can now camp it as a group, I can't explain how much of an improvement that is. However, let me try to break it down:
The spawn timer was/(is, i don't know if they changed it) fine, seriously it's time lost...
This camp was very(INSANELY) lonely before. I spent, i think(I really did lose track of the time), ½-1½ year, 1-7 hours a day, on it. Almost every single day.
I met 1-3 people I talked to often during the camping, most people didn't wanna make friends, it seemed, with someone they'd compete against later.
I got it, I nearly got a heart attack as well, BUT I FINALLY F***ING GOT IT!
NOW: You make friends, not enemies.
NOW: You can meet up with a group of friends and make it bit more fun.
NOW: You can share a great accomplishment, with some people who possibly are gonna be great friends of yours.
NOW: Indeed I see more of the TLPD around. Though it should remains as insanely rare as it is, I hope blizzard has a ingenious and responsible solution. Maybe they already have. -I, for one, find the new loot rules, to be MUCH better!
Every
time I see it, I really hope they spent less time than I did camping it. I also hope that people won't/didn't throw away (important)parts of their life to achieve this!
Good advice:
Research, research! Find information on spawns-points, timers and routes before you start!
Find your preferred camp spot, shared with others or not. Be comfortable with it.
Don't be afraid to share experience and information with others, they might do so as well.
If you have friends that wants to, camp it with them, now that it is possible!
Find something to spend your time on during the camp! Be prepared to use MANY hours on this. Read books. Work with something on the side, watch some series. I watched all episodes & movies of Pokémon and Dragon ball, EVERY SINGLE ONE, that gives somewhat of an idea about the time used.
Don't get salty if you loose it by minutes or seconds, it just wasn't your time. It's a game, relax.
Don't forget RL!
Never give up on something important IRL for a couple of pixels!
Remember to log out, have a break, go for a dinner, the swimming-pool or to the zoo(whatever) with your family or BF/GF, kids etc.
Willing to invest a few coins into your project?:
1. Get a 2nd account linked with your main account login, camp TLPD from the 2nd account, that way you can play normally on your main account during the camp.
2. Get 2nd PC, just a laptop that are BARELY able to run the game/get a 2nd monitor if you got a descent PC already. Use it for camp, so you can play your main account or watch movies etc. meanwhile
Good luck to all!

These days, you can get the TLPD in a group if you're lucky, but I snagged mine solo on my native server, Blackwater Raiders - US (RP, merged with Shadow-Council). I camped an alt near the waterfall (close to K3) by Skoll spawn points. I saw Vrygosa fall there twice, and saw the corpse of TLPD there as well once, all on just an alt camped out, checking every once and a while for about a month (did not hard-camp this one).
It was *Monday, about 12:26 P.M. server time, when I found Vrygosa near Ulduar and downed her - I was the only one who knew. I knew I had about 6 hours to kill before anything would pop, so I left and came back about 6:00 P.M., once I saw the raiders had left their camping spots for the final goes before reset, and I flew in circles from Frosthold up to Ulduar (if you have the rare overlay addon, it makes a sort of figure-8 on the map). I focused there because it's kind of in the middle of everything and since it was just me camping horde-side I choose to fly around the two points I had seen Vrygosa and TL at in the past. I finally found and downed TLPD near Frosthold on the side closest to Icecrown, after several seconds of confusion (some ass on the mount camped at a spawn point until I flew over so I thought it was him again at first until NPCscan popped). Took it down about 7:30 P.M., easy as you please. About an hour and a half of flying, plus about 30 minutes for previous check-ins - I admittedly only spent about 2 hours actually looking for it this way, likely by sheer luck (beyond that I knew when Vrygosa was downed).
There were alliance players out and about, so I felt I didn't have time to do a group, but if you can make a group, please do! The Red Riding Rifle is a good way to get a group to tag it without one/two-shotting, I hear. Keep in mind, I'm on a pretty dead, merged RP server... But I thought I wouldn't be able to get it because there's always someone hard-core camping it. Long-camps rarely work out for me (I haven't seen so much as a corpse of Aeonaxx, and that one I do hard-camp), but the parking an alt strategy has earned me many of my mounts, and I recommend that over the long camps unless you're just feeling sitting there all day (hey, sometimes you do!). Hope this more recent posting helps someone out/renews your hope that you can still get it! Best of luck looking!
*By Monday, I mean Feb.19, 2018, to clarify.

The
spawntime
of TLPD have been greatly reduced, or we were simply lucky, as all of u know TLPD shares a spawn with Vyragosa, we saw a dead TLPD 18:23 CET yesterday, and 22:42 CET the same evening, he spawns near Bor's Rest and flies west, that is just about 4 hours later!
So all of u that still farms him, don't lose hope! You WILL get there!

I spent some days farming this guy recently, and I would like to share some up to date information (as of 8.0.1), seeing that many comments are relatively old. This is what I've learned about TLPD, while chasing it in July 2018:
It is not lootable by trial characters
(as of early August 2018)
The spawn timer is
2-8 hours
TLPD seems to have a
~10%
chance of spawning instead of Vyragosa
The timer begins when the corpse of the last killed NPC despawns
Vyragosa is skinnable (thus you can force an earlier respawn timer by skinning her), while TLPD is not
The spawn points are the same old 4 (Ulduar Ravine, Bor's Fall, Frozen Lake, Brunnhildar Village)
The drop is group-shareable, if you're in a party everyone gets one
There doesn't seem to be any connection between other Northrend rares and TLPD/Vyragosa spawns
Server resets, well... reset the spawn timer, so don't bother looking during the first 2 hours after reset
EDIT: Mentioned that it's no longer lootable by trial toons.

Got this guy recently, here's some helpful tips and info I learned from some new friends who helped me camp!
-Group up. Don't make enemies with people in your zone: Befriend everyone in you can. Worst case scenario, they're a troll and take your kill. It would happen without group, and you would be notified when they loot it since group tells you everything your party loots. You can also log it down and be prepared for the next spawn. Have a person at each spawn point. If you have a fifth, have them run out to other zones in Northrend and kill any rares standing. (As a Hunter main, please don't kill Loque'Nahak or Gondria. Whisper a hunter you saw camping it to come and get it. I will feel physical pain if you kill him.)
-Red Air Rifle does not work anymore. It used to do 1 damage and tag the TLPD but now it doesn't tag.
-How to get a 6th person to tag it if they're out of group: after you have all tagged the drake, the person who initially taunted the dragon must leave the group and invite the 6th person. Then the 6th person must tag.
-Caster class melees/autoattack do not one shot the dragon at level 100 trial accounts. Melee classes WILL one shot.
-CONFIRMED tagging methods we used for our kill: taunting, druid hibernation, healing the person who initially tagged drake
-The longer you wait, the more likely it is to be TLPD. I've encountered hearsay that the longest wait for Vyragosa has been 11 hours. If upwards, It's TLPD. Not confirmed, but I firmly believe that TLPD chances are greater if the spawn times are longer. Group I was with told me that the day before, they had waited 11 hours on the dot for a new spawn and it was a Vyragosa spawn. They did not miss any spawns, but they had one spawn not covered. There was a very small chance they missed a Vyra spawn and it was skinned before one member could finish patting between the two and passing by.
Our TLPD spawned exactly 10 hours and 10 minutes after the last Vyragosa kill. Vyra was killed at roughly 10:10am server time, and her corpse despawned by itself at exactly 10:51am server time. I joined the group I camped with at 2:30~pm server time, and they had 4 members the entire time, so there was no possibly missed spawn. TLPD spawned at exactly 9:01 pm server time. We did not check for despawn time as we were too excited and left to our mains to tell our friends, lol.

In the camping I have done within the last day or so (and keep in mind I haven't actively camped this guy since WoTLK where I stopped due to frustration of losing out on the mount by seconds on 3 separate occasions, one of the being a Guildie that took over my spot after I left lol), I have seen Vyragosa spawn two separate times today, and I am starting to think the timer immediately starts when one or the other is killed, not when they despawn. My reasoning is as follows:
- Killed Vyragosa on 10/10 at 12:51pm PST - Despawned 1:22pm PST - Spawned at Bors Breath and I caught her coming around the frozen river between the lake and falls.
- Killed Vyragosa at 3:13pm PST - Despawned 3:44pm PST - I killed her as she was coming down into Bors Breath from what appears to be the Temple of Storms.
I had my alarm on my phone set for exactly 2 hours from the time I saw her despawn which was at 2:22pm, but I decided to log in early just to be ahead of the game. She obviously spawned sooner than I expected, which was weird to me since I thought the minimum was 2 hours. This leads me to believe she spawned roughly around 2:51pm PST and flew around until I killed her. I've been camping the falls since it is one spawn point and then I can see another at Brunnhildar Village, and have yet to see anything pop from either. I flew up towards Bors Breath when I saw her coming down into Bors Breath from the location I mentioned. Granted this is a small sample size but in my mind it makes sense. I plan on returning again within 2 hours and seeing if anything spawns again.

Hello boys.
After almost around the clock camping for over a week I finally got the mount and would like to share all my information.
1) If you wanna get the mount, you need people. Type /who in chat and find 3 people + yourself so you can cover every spot.
And yes, everyone can loot the mount as long as its killed when everyone else is near.
Tag it with TAUNT or INTERRUPT.
This is very important.
2) Check youtube for exact spawn points and stare at them.
3) TLPD shares spawn with Vyragosa and Vyra is more likely to spawn so this means you will be killing many Vyragosas. Skinning the body starts spawn timer, otherwise it takes 30min longer. Our shortest spawn timer was almost exactly 2 hours but could be less. All this put together, after you kill Vyragosa take a 2 hour break.
4) Even people outside your party can get the mount if it spawns so if people stack on your camp, please explain rules to them. Im referring to tagging rules in 1).
TLPD kill can be shared in raid group too but that requires really specific strats including a warlock who tags and all the rest healers. People in certain Discord community do giveaways using this strat.
TLDR; TLPD shares spawn with Vyragosa and can spawn to any of the 4 spots but Vyragosa spawn is alot more likely. Make a party of players from /who and communicate with them. Tag TLPD with taunt or interrupt and wait for your boys to come. Thats all. Happy camping!

Finally got this guy. Camped him for a few days on and off on Emerald Dream. I camped the spot north of the waterfall where the frozen river makes a 90 degree turn. This is a great spot because it covers a few of his flight patterns and is close enough to the village pattern where you can do quick checks. I think he spawned at the waterfall and flew North right to me. An ally almost got him before me. 4 hours later a friend of mine got him on the same server, insane luck. Great looking mount and worth the camp!

Finally downed TLPD today at 9:27AM ET on Kirin Tor. TLPD was flying north from the Waterfall spawn point to Frozen Lake low in the canyon. My camp spot was Bor's Breath at the converge of the three paths of Vyragosa (29.00, 65.91).

Got mine today, 4:50EDT on US Dentarg. Was camping the Frozen Lake for about 3 hours, and it managed to land just far enough down the cliff face where I couldn't loot it (had a slight panic moment when it spawned and hit my DH's throw glaive without actually thinking). Took me about another 20 minutes trying to find a spot on the wall I could land on to loot the damn thing.

Please note: I didn't start listing spawn locations with kill times until recently. What I did prior to this was tally each kill location. With that, Brunnhildar Village has seen 5 spawns, Ulduar 3 spawns, Bor's Breath 2 spawns, and Waterfall with 1 spawn.
45.5% of all spawns happened at Brunnhildar Village.
Our average wait time between spawns is 5hrs and 49min.
There is a myth of sorts I found on reddit stating:
"...100% of the times, the spawns always happened when X hours and 30-59 minutes have passed since the last kill. We didn't see a single spawn where X hours and 1-29 minutes have passed. I'm sure this might just be a coincidence and the beauty of RNG, but we were always extra alert when we reached the 40-59 minute marks every hour."
(Source:
https://www.reddit.com/r/wow/comments/6rxm0e/statistics_of_4_days_of_vyragosatlpds_spawn/
)
Looking at kills 3, 4, and 11 we concluded this myth was debunked. But of the 11 kills we have logged, it is correct 66% of the time.
Looking at kill 6, Vyragosa endured the whole 30 minute despawn timer as her corpse was unlootable from where she fell. Learn from our mistake, be careful where you kill TLPD. Vyragosa could have very easily been TLPD and loot would have been stuck. Maybe the postmaster will be nice and give it to you after finding it in the Twisting Nether, however I wouldn't want to test that theory.
Now for some good wholesome facts:
TLPD's chance to spawn has been buffed from 1 out of 16 Vyragosa spawns to 1 out of 10.
TLPD and Vyragosa's respawn timer has been shortened from 4-12+ hours to 2-8 hours.
(Source: Secret Finding Discord)
Other findings:
Spells and abilities used on TLPD before the party is together and within range will lock the non-casting players from looting the corpse, even if they score the killing blow. This includes all Taunts, interrupts and other non-damaging abilities.
(Source: Secret Finding Discord)
Red Air Rifles and Soft Foam Swords do not count as tagging. In fact, I recommend not using them. Warcraft Forums are inundated with stories of how players have used both items, the kill was stolen from them and devs won't reward them a mount. It just brings more heartache than it's worth.
Strategy:
What my group agreed to do (also mentioned on Secret Finding Discord) was to body pull TLPD and kite him to a predisclosed hiding location away from campers and ninjas until the rest of the party are able to show up. There was also an agreement that we would do everything we could to get TLPD to said location without harm.
Another idea we implemented was to set our hearthstone to an inn opposite of the spawn location you're camping. K3 works really well for the Ulduar spawn location and the Grom'arsh Crash Site for nearly everyone else. Brunnhildar Village can pick between K3 and Grom'arsh Crash Site as they are nearly equally distanced from everything else. A 20 second hearth is much faster than a six minute flight.
Everyone knows there are people who will kill TLPD right from under you, just give them half a chance. Same faction doesn't make a difference. It's ruthless in these snow capped mountains. So, in the event that our kill was threatened (be it Alliance or Horde), we agreed we would do what we needed to score the kill. I would rather one of my guys get the mount than some other player making life hell on others. Just be kind to others.
Ya'll be safe out there!

Got it couple of years ago, camped it for god knows how long. After obtaining it all that time ago, I reguraly see it every couple of months when Im on my way to Ulduar. This game really throws doubles at you when you finally get something after camping for months. Such is life I guess.

Today I got it. It finally spawned. I decided to get this mount a while back, 18 days ago and my strategy was to camp one spawn point - the ulduar one. I would let my char sit there and if vyra / tlpd would spawn npcscan would sound the alarm and I could come running from my office room and get the kill. During my camping (18 days, from morning around 8 am till night around 22:30 pm), I got 8 vyra spawns and then finally one tlptd spawn.
Lessons learned (assumption: you don't feel extremely lucky):
- patience - if you don't have it don't even think about this mount
- fomo - it's real - I was always thinking "I am sitting on this one spot, maybe it will spawn in any of the other three..."; finally I would just counter-argue myself with "if it spawns here, I will be here and maybe it will be tlptd!"
- if it spawns once, it will not spawn again - this is not really set in stone because we are talking about rng, but in 18 days if I got one spawn I did not get another the same day
Because of my strategy, I decided early on that I would not go the Grouping way (even though that is probably the optimal way). Chance had it that today when the spawn happened I had accepted a group invite. And the fact that I had to share the mount with others, me trembling and shaking and writing wrongly COMARAE! MOVE! and stuff made the experience all the better.
Good luck to all of you out there!

So these spawn points has changed. Now one spawns in Brunnhildar Village, Bor's Fall, Bor's Breath and the very east side of Ulduar and will patrol thru Ulduar too. It does not spawn in K3 anymore. Please update this super old coord spawns.

Just a short story.
I'm not a big camper myself but in the last 2 weeks had this feeling that OMG I want to get the TLPD. I joined to occasional groups or just parked my character in Storm Peaks while I was doing something else.
Yesterday I made a group myself, invited all the people and covered all the spawn points very quickly - as it should be. And we were waiting.. 2 hours, 3 hours... 7 hours. All the spawn points were covered almost all the time, but if someone left, we found another person within 5 minutes to cover that point again. I explained the tactics at least 5 times to make sure that everyone understands and gets the loot. I also made everyone to take off some if not all of their gear to avoid any unwanted dmg. The hours went relatively quickly but getting close to the time limit we started to worry that we might missed a spawn and we should wait even more hours.. And then finally, 15 minutes before 8 hours of camping, Illidan's gracious voice yelled to my ears (I was half asleep as it was early morning) and I saw that it spawned near the waterfall. I was up, next to Ulduar so I kept telling them in the chat that stay calm, it is fine, nobody else is here, just wait for me and we can kill it together. While I was flying there I suddenly saw that our warrior.. just looted. And it was there, the purple name was in the chat. I got really confused, I was about 1-2 minutes from there and I asked: what happened? Everyone claimed that they didn't do anything. But the combat log showed something else. The warrior just hit it with melee and killed it.
When I arrived there, the mighty TLPD was lying just there and obviously was unlootable for me and for our hunter too. I didn't know how to feel, after almost 8 hours of camping (an the rest what I did before) I just pressed altf4 and I think I'm gonna take a break from WoW for a while now. Obviously I shouldn't stop at the first obstacle, but I feel really gutted and disappointed.
So folks I only recommend you to think about it twice before you go with a group... Because If I could go back in time I'd definitely choose to camp alone maybe 4 times longer, than let this happen again.

I can't believe I'm even writing this comment.
I finally got the TLPD today!
How long did it take?
Six years.
Six long MF'ing years of sitting all by my lonesome in the Storm Peaks.
Six years of trying out multiple "strategies" like parking alts, joining groups, flying the paths vs. sitting at spawn points.
Six years of killing Vyra...then killing her again...and again...and praying to the old gods that the next goddamn spawn would be the TLPD.
It never was.
Six years of watching other people kill Vyra seconds before I could get to her.
Six years of showing up in the Storm Peaks and seeing Vyra's corpse already on the ground, not sure how long ago it was or when to consider the countdown timer started for the next spawn.
Six years of trying to figure out a quantifiable/reliable spawn timer to help me out (I've concluded there isn't one, FWIW).
Six years of trying to come up with new games to play (like goblin bungee jumping off random mountain peaks) to kill the boredom.
Three nights ago, when I flew into Storm Peaks, a random player whispered me and asked if I was looking for the TLPD. When I said I was, he invited me to a group with him and 3 other people. This whole time, I hadn't been using addons and my lack of preparedness was embarrassing as the leader had to keep explaining basic crap to me that I would've known with TomTom coords. (In my defense, I had addons at one point but couldn't be bothered to reinstall them when I got a new computer).
To top it all off, while I was sitting at my assigned spawn point, an Ally showed up to camp my spot. I meant to Tab target him, hit the wrong button and accidentally dismounted in midair, then I quickly realized I was out of goblin gliders on the way down as I proceeded to splatter my little goblin brain all over the Ulduar Ravine (
it's a very long way down to the bottom of that little sinkhole, by the way
).
I might as well have been drunk - but I wasn't - so I shame-quit the group.
I don't know if they ever got it.
So, embarrassed and frustrated, I decided I was done screwing around with this mount.
I'm a collector (aren't we all, though?) and I know about persistence.
The TLPD seems to require some next-level persistence, though.
With that in mind, I committed to getting it one way or another and not doing anything else in-game until I did.
I reinstalled my addons. And I started the long wait.
I decided
the smartest way was not to run the flight points
because on my high pop server there are always so many people camping it, there was ZERO chance I would have found it flying around. It was going to be shot as soon as it spawned.
So I picked a spawn point...and I sat.
After years of farming, I knew that I had seen Vyra spawn at the falls/Bor's Breath with a frequency of probably 3:1 against any other spawn point.
So that's the basket I put all my time-lost dragon eggs in.
I turned up my volume to max and left it running in the background.
Then I hung my new living room curtains.
I danced around my kitchen.
I smoked more than a few cigarettes.
I took the laptop with me while cooking meals, going to the bathroom, or answering the door.
If I wasn't sleeping or showering, Warcraft was right next to me.
I was half-heartedly researching random crap on Google when I heard the telltale siren from RareScanner.
"Vyragosa again," I sighed outloud and I finished reading the paragraph I was on before I clicked back to WOW.
That was almost the biggest mistake of my WOW life.
It wasn't Vyragosa.
The Timelost Proto Drake was right in front of me in all of it's gold-green glory.
I had never even seen a corpse of the TLPD in all those six years so I was caught off guard at just how beautiful it was!
The adrenaline hit me like a tidal wave. My hands were shaking uncontrollably.
I saw a friendly character flying towards me.
I panicked more.
I couldn't remember what I was supposed to do or which buttons on my keyboard did what.
I was going to mess this up and never see another one again.
I was threatening to cause myself a heart attack over some pixels on a screen, but I couldn't stop or control the rush.
I flew straight at the TLPD, hit some random attack key (ranged thankfully), and saw it fall dead to the ground as I popped my goblin glider to prevent another death from midair dismount.
When I finally landed, I quickly looted and learned the mount. I was pretty surprised there wasn't an achievement for it, honestly. Except for the adrenaline still coursing through my veins, the whole thing was weirdly anti-climatic. I looked at the clock: 4:28 PM on a random Friday afternoon.
The friendly player who had just missed it seconds too late landed next to me. And cried.
I couldn't blame him/her.
I wanted to cry for them, too.
But after 6 years,
I deserved to be put out of my misery.
Moral of the story
(or TLDR;):
1. For the love of the old gods,
use Addons
(
RareScanner in particular
; I honestly don't know how much longer I would've taken on this without that addon).
2. Pick your lucky spawn point. Then DON'T second-guess yourself.
(My recommendation, if my years of watching Vyra spawns carry any significance for you, go with waiting
above Bor's Breath/waterfall
).
3.
Keep the sound on in the background.
If you can't hear it, you can't get the mount.
4. Don't let other people intimidate you into leaving your chosen point. You've got the same shot as they do to tag it first when it spawns.
5. Groups seem like more trouble than they're worth for this adventure -
individual experience may vary
.
6. Stock up on goblin gliders and equip them on your action bar. This way, you can dismount midair, hit the TLPD with a ranged attack and safely glide to the ground to collect your hard-earned reward. Splattering your pretty face all over Northrend is not a constructive use of anyone's time.
This mount is worth every second of patience, boredom, anger and anxiety it causes for however long it takes to get it.
Don't give up 'till it's yours
!

Got TLPD today.
I'm lucky, got him within 3 days of farming. Spawn within modern 2-8 hour time...at approx the 7-hour mark.
Waterfall best spawn. Group up in 5 and camp at spawn. Spam AoE if filthy Horde degenerates try to steal the spot.
Good Luck Hunting

*Update* Thanks to info gathered from NicoFrags below and his video link, Blizz HAS definitely change the way the rare mobs work. You can body-pull them, no need to shoot and slowfall. You can not pull them more than 100 yards away from their path and they will enrage after 5 minutes, killing anyone in range with only a couple hits. It also appears the enrage lasts a few mins afterward too. Please check out his video for more in depth info! :D
So, I was lucky enough to spot him twice in a week. No gloating, but just wanted to bring light to a situation I had on one of my sightings. I have been running alts through Ulduar trying to get Mimiron's head (yep, still hasn't dropped after all these years) and I always have my /tar macro spammed as I fly through Stormpeaks. On one eventful fly-through, my macro picked up on him and NPCScan went off. I tagged it with a marker and started searching. While I could see the selected target on the mini-map, I couldn't understand why I couldn't see it and why it wasn't moving.
It didn't take long for me to realize it was underground...
After a quick search, I found a lvl113 horde monk had tagged and dragged it out of bounds underground (I won't say where in case anyone else wants to try). He just stood there while others of us looked on trying to figure out how he did it. Monk's don't have any abilities that can bypass world boundaries, so we're guessing he was modifying game files. He couldn't have used mount glitches because he was in combat.
After about fifteen mins (and reporting for cheating by a few of us), he just suddenly logged out and TLPD despawned.

Remember people: in case this applies to your personality: if a mount does not look great to your taste, don't obsess over it, you will never get 100% completion of this game anyway.

Y'all gonna hate me for this.
I have been doing loremaster in Storm Peaks for couple of days on and off, also been looking for Vyra or TLPD. Yesterday I came across Vyragosa at the entry to Valkyrion from south side at 12:40am, killed it. Today loged in in the morning, checked the spawn areas, nothing, loged in during the lunch break and at 13:31pm flying above Sifreldar Village spotted TLPD. Agroed to the ground, instant kill, and here we go, my very own TLPD.
After 3-4 days questing and checking spawn areas.....lucky me :)

I have barely checked for this rare but I was very lucky and had the chance to kill it today as of 2021-01-24
20:00pm in the Chromie timephase with warmode on, on a dead server.( A very good way to check for this rare )
I was playing classic Wow and got the message that it was up by one who also only recently started searching for this, he had also only done so for some hours. So I logged straight in to Retail wow with my character in Storm Peaks and killed it, but it was very close to lose the kill to 2 horde players that also was there!

Go to farm Mimiron's Head and don't get it. Go from Ulduar to ICC to get Invincible. On the way, see the Time-Lost Proto Drake and quickly decide if you should kill it or do some special thing to mount it. Kill it and get the mount real fast. Proceed to ICC and don't get Invincible, but know that there was no time lost getting that drake! Tee hee!

FINALLY 24 FEB 2021- WAR MOD OFF- after pretty steady camping for the last three weeks, this last week seen the drake and missed him twice, seems to spawning alot this week. Then today it happened I ACTUALLY got him in the Uldar pass with no one around , except the poor alliance that was sitting in lala land on the cliff with me and did not action.
:-) So excited I have the mount that I never thought I would get!

I want to mention an extremely important piece of info that most people don't know.
A few years ago, Blizzard added something to some old zones (Storm Peaks being one of them) where if there is no player in a zone for 15 minutes, the zone RESETS (rare timers go back to 0 until someone enters the zone again).
More info can be found here:
https://forums.wow-petopia.com/viewtopic.php?t=26201
So for example if you are on a low pop server and enter storm peaks with no one around, the rare timer (and TLPD 2-8 hour timer) is at 0! You will have to wait 2 hours minimum to be in his spawn window.
This means logging in and flying around storm peaks at odd hours hoping to find one of him or vrygosa is pointless! I wasted days doing this only to realize the way the zone resets.
I finally got this mount after 10 years using this method:
1. Have a character (at least level 30) on an RP realm (as there is no CRZ meaning less competition)
2. Camp one of the 4 spawn points and every 10 minutes use 2 macros to see if anyone else is around:
Macro1
/who
Macro2
/1 Anyone want to join me in camping TLPD?
Use those 2 macros to see if anyone else is in this low pop RP realm with you and then you could camp with them.
Camp him on an RP server.
I cant stress this enough. I found Vyragosa on my RP server (Maelstrom-US) 8 times alone with no competition, while on a regular realm there are constantly 5 people around. You can level a character to level 30-40 quickly now on an RP server.

After 2 Vyragosa kills and 6 nights of farming, I got him.
Opened a character on Steamwheedle Cartel EU since it's usually an empty server, farmed nonstop for 6-7 hours each night.
1:15 AM 16/04/21 I have him :)

In Shadowlands you can abuse Chromie Time and War Mode phasing to get into phases where no one else really goes to Storm Peaks. Like if you're leveling in Northrend, you won't typically be using WoD time for example, so there will (probably) be no one else there camping. Also War Mode is a separate phase from normal mode so you can try both normal and war mode to check if it's up.
I was on an alt leveling and decide to cycle through some instances of chromie time and fly around storm peaks. Ran into TLPD just flying along its route while in cataclysm war mode. This was at like 1pm on a saturday too. It scales to your level if using this method so it won't die in one shot but it has about as much hp as a normal mob so you shouldn't have any trouble killing it as long as you pull it from a safe height.
This method removes a lot of the agony of waiting and the competitiveness that comes with camping. If you have an alt 30-50 you can just change your timeline, and turn on and off war mode, to check all the different phases. If it's not up, try a different phase. If you don't find it in any phase, try again later.

Y'all have NO clue how excited I am to be writing this comment.
Six grueling days of having three separate alts in varying instances in Storm Peaks above the village spawn. Rolling up on one dead TLPD my first day. A body pulled TLPD I thought I had in the bag for myself and a group member the second day, oneshot off me by the same faction. Being in a higher-pop instance with WM on and getting my back end handed to me SEVERAL times despite a 200+ ilvl (still worth it).
So many Vyragosas. I sincerely hope I never have to see that NPC again xD
But also... Six days of grouping up and meeting some incredibly patient, amazingly kind, and equally excited and dedicated WoW players from both factions. Six days of conversations and small talk about the game and how others have experienced it, from their starts to current day.
Finally today after ten hours of camping and two Vyragosas, I got to share the joy of taking home the elusive TLPD with three other great and patient campers, it was a little nerve-wracking but we did it! :D Thank you especially to the WoW Secret Finding & Collections Discord for bringing me together with some new friends and a shiny new mount just in time for 9.1 drop :DDD
Used RareScanner and SilverDragon, had WM on and Chromie Time. Only had two people fly by in that ten-hour instance, so good luck to both of y'all too! :)

Hello,
Just caught the beast on Medivh (EU) in WM off. Just so you know, SilverDragon, RareScan and NPC scan did not activate until I mouse-overed the drake. Weirder, I saw him from a distance and he looked like an enemy player, his name appeared orange, not red. Thank goodness I mouse-overed, all my addons went crazy. Flew over to him, cast an instant spell, died miserably and came back to loot his beautiful golden corpse.
Good luck to all !

I've been doing dailies here for Argent Tournament stuff. Whenever I'm in the zone, I search the area for this guy with this macro:
/tar time
I also use an add-on that shows where he spawn. It colors in the parts of the map so you know where to fly over.
Finally, after all this time, I spotted him. On the first kill, he dropped the mount. I also got the talisman, but it's old content that's not even an xmog, so I just disenchant stuff like that.
However, I must have killed him once before because I had credit for the achievement to kill all rares in Northrend, meaning the mount is probably not a 100% drop.

Killed it 2 days ago. First time ever seen dead or alive. First time ever hunting it too, probably spent an hour total. Killed Vyragosa (after checking all the spawn points) heading north between Snowdrift and Grom'Arsh at 20:52 ST on Ragnaros, WM on, Chromie time. Went to sleep once I saw nothing spawned 2hs later. Logged back at 04:53 and and TLPD was flying low between Brunnhildar Village and Engine of the Makers. Flew across him and got pulled right away. Got Aeonaxx today too after 2 days randomly logging in and flying a lap around the temple so I'm super pumped since I finally got both drakes.

Found and killed on Silvermoon-US at 2:33 AM server time while in WotLK Chromie Time. Have camped for this guy in the past but without any success.
Funny thing being when I initially walked into Storm Peaks, I thought to myself "Wouldn't it be funny if TLPD was up?" Sure enough it was and my jaw hit the floor.

After 9 Vyragosa kills, i found TLPD.
WM on/off with Chromie time. Sat at Bor's Breath and check Village spawn every 30 minutes.
Took about 3-4 days on/off afk

After camping for 6 days straight, and still not getting it, I wanted to post the screenshot below to prove that math does not lie.
https://imgur.com/a/xHubmMi
EDIT: Now that I take a look at it again, 3 and 27 would have been more exact.
EDIT 2: Finally got it after a week of non-stop camping. Saw 41 vyragosas and 4 tlpds over the whole duration (claimed the 4th one).

So, I always read the long documented comments on farms (on any rare) with respect and a bit of envy, and it's time for me today to tell my story. I can't describe how
happy
I am to write this comment, and I hope it will help some of you to get the mount you crave for.
It all started with a discussion with a friend, asking him if he had this mount, if he was interested. I gave up on Lore Master halfway because it was too long, and decided to take a break from questing and started camping in Storm Peaks on
September 26th
, in the night. I started playing other games meanwhile, even if it completely destroyed my FPS, I thought it was worth it; and I've never been afraid to try -really- hard. I got Aeonaxx, and Infinite Timereaver, the most farmed mounts in my collection, after weeks and months of farming, and never gave up.
My friend joined me that day, and we didn't know what we started. I read Wowhead comments to know what the respawn times, spawn points, and best spots to wait are.
We planted our feet at two spots to cover every travel paths, one at
31, 69
, seated on the little edge of the mountain - one at
36.68, 78.14
, facing the frozen waterfall, having a bit of the mountain on the left, and the houses on the left.
We decided quite early to activate War Mode and Chromie Time. You only need to enable this in capital (Org or SW) with a char lower than 50, group your friend(s) and synchronize via the button when you open your map, even if your friend is 60. And I think any character (45+) can kill him solo.
-Coords of Chromie, Orgrimmar:
40.8, 80.0
-Coords of Chromie, SW:
56.2, 17.6
We used only
RareScanner
and
SilverDragon
, but
you need to have enemies nameplates enabled, otherwise it won't shout at your ears!
Side note: check the "Sync" tab on RareScanner so it writes in group chat when you come across one of them.
Second side note: the loot
isn't
shared cross-faction: a Horde player who pulls will solely have the loot when grouped with an Ally.
Third side note:
there's a range in the loot
: if one of your players is camping at the North spawn,
WAIT FOR THEM
before pulling, or reset the proto before killing him, otherwise your farthest friend won't be able to loot; it happened to us many times with Vyragosas.
We've camped like this for one week and a half straight, 12hours a day, and what we read was true:
2hours respawn time minimum
, and we never waited for more than 7h30 in total. So the
2hours minimum respawn time - 6hours window
is quite verified. We sometimes had 2 Vyragosas a day, sometimes 5 (our peak). The layer on Chromie Time: On, War Mode: On was quite empty, and we didn't meet a lot of other players. It was quite stressful because we were only 2 to cover 4 spawn points, and we were really nervous that someone takes our spawn for themself and that we miss our spawn, our proto.
As it destroyed my FPS, I stopped playing while doing this quite fast and started doing all the chores in my house, and all my administrative tasks I had to take care of. In a few days, my house was clean like never, my head was empty of any anxiety to do my administrative stuff, and Vyragosas kept spawning.
My friend who had the char on Chromie Time logged in before me every day, and very often had a Vyragosa spawn in less than an hour after coming into the area; I'll come back to that later.
After this week and a half, I noticed that you can synchronize Chromie Time to another character in another WarMode than yourself. As we didn't meet anyone on the server, I said to my friend that we should double-layer to double the Vyragosas -
we were at 35~ Vyragosas at that time
, and I remember saying:
"I just want to know that he still exists, that he can spawn, even his corpse."
He was not that in, told me it was too dangerous, but accepted and we started that, both camping on the little edge of the mountain, thus covering 3 flight paths. We both had 2 Vyragosas quite fast, and I thought it was the best way to farm the proto. After an hour in the spawn window, I asked him if he had checked the leftover flight path, and he told me that he was on his way. After one minute, I had the alert.
"Time-Lost Proto-Drake seen by your friend just now"
it said. My dog was sleeping on me and I had my legs on my desk. I put my dog on the ground, got my legs back, hearthstone to Org to change my WM, and finally get it... and I checked Discord. "
It's his corpse.
" The person was just standing on him, with the mount, and stole our spawn, as my friend feared. Emotional rollercoaster.
37 Vyragosas. 1 dead stolen Time-Lost Proto-Drake.
I had trouble falling asleep that night, as I was full of guilt, anger, and sadness, but it didn't stop us (sorry for the guy who stole us TLPD, your ears must have been burning!). We stopped double-layering and started our farm on one layer again. I started logging in first, and noticed that Vyragosas spawned really fast after we entered the server and cleared every flight path. Yesterday, my friend started the camp at 10:30PM, WM On, and got a Vyragosa right away. I came back home and connected my character at 0:30AM, WM Off, and got a Vyragosa at 4:30AM~. As we both left the WM On server, I wanted to check if it was indeed resetting when none was in the zone (none was here). I tped to Org, came back to Dalaran, flew, turned around the flight paths, and crossed Vyragosa on her way to turning around Storm Peaks.
43 Vyragosas. 1 dead Time-Lost Proto-Drake.
And a real suspcision that layers don't reset when none is in. I don't know what to do with that information, but as it is, and as empty the layer was at that time, and as Vyragosa spawned really fast when we entered our empty layer, I really doubt it does reset when the layer is completely inactive - or there is a sort of passive spawn window, but that only triggers when the zone is active. We've only had fast Vyragosa when arriving in, but never afterwards.
I told my friend that I was going to wake up earlier than him on the next day, and that he could sleep soundly as I will call him if the proto spawns, but prepare the layer for another long day of farming in case of more Vyragosas. I woke up, logged in, and cleared all flight paths, my boyfriend helped by putting his Druid above the waterfall, and we stayed like this for 20minutes. And then. Here. Underneath me. Coming from my boyfriend's spawn (he didn't enable nameplates on hostile NPCs),
he was there
. I stood up because there was no way I was gonna get him alone, without my friend. I called him, shaking - he was still sleeping. He stood up from his bed and logged in, went to Org to get WarMode On, as we were flying around the proto in case any player tried to steal him from us. He came after one complete rotation of the proto, I said in group chat "
PULL HIM!
" to make sure he has the loot, and we all got the mount.
2 weeks. 12hours a day. 37 Vyragosas. 2 Time-Lost Proto Drakes. On October 9th, the last for us. Goodbye Storm Peaks. See you for Lore Master!

If anyone fights Dirkee in Chromie time and gets quickly smushed by it don't worry, the TLPD is like a free kill compared to that robot. I was a bit worried after actually dying to Dirkee once when not paying close attention.

Had insane luck today. First time actively hunting for the TLPD. So i logged a lvl 43 priest i had hanging around, activated Chromie Time and WM, made my marry way to Storm Peaks. I looked up a good spot to camp for a bit, just above the frozen lake. 15mins in i just had this weird gut feeling i should go check a few other spots just to see, since it was quite late at night. I went down to the waterfall, and immediatly i saw the TLPD in the distant. But.. a hunter was on it. My heart just stopped. I had to rush! When the dragon was on 15% i JUST managed to get off a SW:D on it and get the credit and the mount. Never been this lucky in my entire WoW-career. I wish everyone else starting out hunting the elusive TLPD this luck that i had. GL everyone.

Hi and very happy, got TLPD today 22 Oct 2022 Nagrand normal mode at approx 9.30am after flipping back and forth to the Storm Peaks occasionally for a few years now. Best result from good camping buddies sitting on all spawn points approx: 30 67, 35 75, 51 69, 52 34. Highly recommend grouping with other campers. Got him on his flightpath around 41 61. While I sometimes find SilverDragon annoying, it has the best flightpath and spawn point graphics. All the best with your quest for TLPD!

Just got the mount this morning after deciding to try and farm it.
I downloaded the addon NPC timer as mentioned by some other people, it helped determine I was the first person to zone in. Waited 2 hours for the spawn timer to start.
Then started just flying laps around the zone clockwise, encountered Vyragosa after about 1 hour 40 minutes at the village spawn.
Then just chilled in the zone while watching some shows for the next 2 hour window to end.
Luckily after only about 25 minutes of flying I encountered the time lost on the village flight path!

Hello, I did this on a dead RP realm in 1 day using 4 toons in 4 different shards. Here are the results:
War Mode On
254pm - vyra despawn (4 hr)
734pm - vyra despawn (4hr 40m)
1234am - vyra despawn (5 hr)
War Mode Off
1156am - vyra despawn (3 hr)
644pm - vyra despawn (6 hr 48m)
Chromie Time, War Mode Off
120pm - vyra despawn (3 hr)
715pm - vyra despawn (6 hr)
115am - TLPD (6 hr)
Chromie Time, War Mode On
3pm - vyra despawn (4 hr)
634pm - vyra despawn (3 hr)
1213am - vyra despawn (5 hr 45m)
Total of 10 Vyragosas to 1 TLPD.
Some notes:
-- Didn't track spawn locations, but it spawned pretty evenly between the 4 spawn points.
--Constantly logged in/out at Frosthold(Ally) or Grom'arsh Crash Site(Horde) every 5-10min on each toon to avoid the shard reset when no one is in the zone for 15 minutes.
--I did have some friends help camp and I made sure to invite any rando's that popped up. Everyone was pretty friendly!
In the end, it spawned at Bors Breath inside Chromie Time. One group member only had a lvl 16 alt so another member used Sandstone Drake to get them into Storm Peaks. We had virtually no competition so we weren't in a rush or anything. We proceeded to attack it all together and we got the mount. 4 new owners of the Time-Lost Proto Drake! Now we can all play the game.

Finally got my TLPD last night! Took me about 3 weeks of hunting.
Thank you to everyone who has added comments and tips. I had no clue about NPC Time and zone resets before I started camping TLPD.
At first I tried camping on a low-pop realm (regular, wm off) but with CRZ it was still too busy, so I turned on Chromie time, WM off. This was a little better traffic wise - killed Vyragosa about 8 times. I also tried camping my RP server a couple times - killed Vyragosa 3 times after the 2 hour mark.
Make sure you have the addon NPC Time as other comments have noted. Super helpful.
So yesterday I decided to camp both my low-pop realm (chromie, wm off) and my RP realm (regular, wm off).
The NPC timer got to 2 hours and reset! I was in the zone and both accounts (separate realms) had the zone stealth reset. There was no server restart and I had not logged out. This took place 2 hours after the weekly maintenance on Tuesday. So check your NPC timers occasionally, especially after server maintenance. So I waited an extra 2 hours for the spawn window again...
Waited about 4 hours into the new spawn window and unfortunately another Vyragosa spawned on the low-pop realm. I still had not seen anything on the RP realm despite frequent laps and not seeing another person.
I closed my low-pop game and decided to keep waiting on the RP realm. I was getting a bit worried I had missed the spawn despite my frequent laps and that maybe someone had skinned Vyragosa. But just after the 5 hour mark I was getting ready to make another lap when a beautiful golden proto came flying onto my screen! I was sitting north of Frosthold and he came flying from the waterfall route.
Some things I noted:
- If you generate a new Storm Peaks (aka zone was empty and had reset), you do not always get a Vyragosa/TLPD spawn at the 2 hour mark. I did get Vyragosa at 2 hours like 3/5 times, but it doesn't always happen.
- You can get lucky and have TLPD be your first spawn on a new zone. Unless someone killed and skinned Vyragosa on me, TLPD was the only spawn I saw yesterday after generating Storm Peaks and waiting for 5 hours (+2 hours to get to the spawn window).
- Silver Dragon did not go off for me. It did mark TLPD with a diamond, but did not display the popup.
- You can get a really long spawn time. Killed Vyragosa at 12:30pm one day and there was not another spawn until 10:30pm. A full 10 hour window. I had that happen twice and was really frustrated.
Main thing is don't give up. Part of it is luck, but most of it is patience.

Just got mine a few hours ago. After 15 Vyragosa's and a few sleepless nocturnal nights, the insanity and sleep deprivation are over!
I started this hunt 4 or 5 days ago after I had just gotten Aeonaxx's mount. Wanted to take my chance with this one. 2 hours in, one spawns for my groupmate and I, but someone else came and killed it in front of my groupmate. I was angry to say the least, but I kept trying. Only ended up seeing Vyra a couple times that night.
Next day, I get on, and within half an hour of me logging in to hunt, someone else killed it right in front of my face. I was turned around, and in those 5 seconds someone else must have saw him and took the chance. Turned around and saw the corpse. I was enraged, and almost gave up, but continued to push on.
Vyragosa after Vyragosa I was starting to feel dejected and like I'd NEVER get this guy. However today it happened. I woke up tired but got on anyway. I told my groupmate I didn't know if I should stay on or go sleep, and she advised me to go sleep. Just for extra precautions, I went to check my character in Chromie Time that I had stationed at a spawn point. Flew around a bit, and there he was... FINALLY!
Moral of this story is don't give up. He WILL spawn eventually, and you WILL have him if you put in the dedication!

I'm pretty sure my comment will get lost. But whatever, here's how I got Time-Lost Proto Drake on 4/23/23.
Yes, TLPD shares a spawn timer with Vyragosa. Storm Peaks shuts down if no one is there, so make sure you have NPC Time installed. Hover over a neutral mob at K3 or any hostile mob like the wryms or rhinos near the Maker's Terrace. Those aren't killed too often and let you know how long the servers are active. You'll have a long wait if it's been inactive until you got in. It takes anywhere from 2 to 8 hours to spawn in, luckily with NPC/Rare Scanner installed, you'll know where those are.
With the pleasantries out of the way, this is how I got it. Have a friend make a toon on Wrymrest Accord, Emerald Dream, or Argent Dawn, literally ANY RP realm. They need to invite you to a party. Head to Valdrakken or Stormwind/Orgrimmar and turn on War Mode, it greatly helps if their character is high enough to turn it on. You must meet THEM at K3 to ensure you're on that dead RP realm. Once you've met them at K3, your friend can log off but they must NOT leave the party. After that, it's all about the waiting game. Don't leave Storm Peaks for any reason, not for LFR, or anything. Stay in Storm Peaks at all times. From my best-educated guess, Vryagosa will spawn first all the time. This took me 2 hours and 20 minutes, but she spawned. Kill her as soon as you can. Skin her, because it takes a long time for her to despawn, especially if you don't loot her. Once she's been skinned or despawns, the timer will restart. I got lucky because, after 3.5 hours, the Time-Lost Proto Drake spawned.
To make your hunt easier, put yourself in the Premade Group as "Time-Lost Proto Drake Hunt" and make sure people have HOURS to waste. I personally listened to old radio shows (O&A), true crime stories, creepypastas, and work playlists I custom-made. I had a full group, using Discord (which helped out IMMENSELY so I do suggest this), and one of my spotters saw the TLPD. Everyone should be as close as possible together before someone demounts and kills the Proto-Drake/Vyragosa. Everyone will get credit for Vyragosa/TLPD, and should it be the TLPD, the mount WILL drop for everyone.
Hopefully my story of how I got the Time-Lost Proto Drake helped you guys and gals out. If you need help hunting the TLPD, add me on bnet: Sedaiv#1539 or Discord: thesedaiv#8539 and ask if I can help hunt it. I have NOTHING better to do, so the worst I say is no, but if it's later at night for me (USA Eastern Standard Time/GMT -5) as I'm a night owl, I can help you hunt. Good luck, and happy hunting mount farmers.

It's been a while since I've seen a target macro posted, and I'm sure I grabbed it from this mega thread somewhere, but I just can't find that post to give credit. If anyone comes across it, please let me know and I'll edit this post to give credit to the person who posted it orginally!
Rare scanner addons don't pick up TLPD or Vyragosa unless you mouse over them, so you can use this target macro while flying around:
/targetexact Time-Lost Proto-Drake
/targetexact Vyragosa
/run local N = UnitName("Target");if N and (N=="Time-Lost Proto-Drake") then PlaySound(13363);print(date(),N,"Found");SetRaidTarget("target",8);end
It will target either TLPD or Vyragosa from a long distance, whether dead or alive obviously, but if it's TLPD, it will mark it with a skull and play a sound to alert you that you have him targetted. It also alerts you in your chat window with the details.
Also, NPC Time addon will be super helpful, as many others have mentioned. It will show you how long mobs have been alive, as well as the date and time the server reset. I can't imagine how many times I've been flying around looking, not realizing that the server had reset and was wasting time flying around looking.
My suggestion for an easier time finding TLPD with less competition is to use Chromie Time. It doesn't matter what timeline you choose, as it scales the entire old world down to your level. CT affects which dungeons are available to you in the dungeon finder, but that's it. The toon I found TLPD on was still in Cata CT from farming Aeonaxx (at the time I didn't realize the timeline didn't matter), so I can promise, from personal experience, that you can choose ANY CT and it will work!
There are 4 "shards" for Chromie Time, so to broaden your chances try to have an alt for each shard checking for spawns. Don't bother checking on alts that are in the same shard... I discovered this after killing Vyragosa on one toon on a regular WM off realm, then swapping to another toon on a different regular WM off realm and finding Vyragosa dead exactly where I had just killed her. There is:
CT Regular realm WM off
CT Regular realm WM on
CT RP Realm WM off
CT RP Realm WM on
I had alts in 3 of those. The day I found TLPD I first logged on to my regular WM off alt and found the server had reset 40 min earlier, so I decided to wait it out. At the 3.5 hour mark I caught Vyragosa when she spawned at Bor's Breath. I then logged over to my alt on the RP WM off and saw the realm had been active for several hours. Within 5 minutes of flying around, TLPD spawned just as I passed by the Frosthold spawn point, so each Chromie Time Shard is definitely independent of the others.
Best of luck to everyone farming this mount!

After alot of camping and moving around I was able to finally get him (and also invited a friend).
I killed Vyragos 27 times and didn't see him once.
When I was going for my last lap of the day I finally saw him flying from Brunnhildar spawn over to Bor's Breath.
Did reset him a couple of times until my friend came out of bed. Lucky noone else was around.
Thanks alot to all the helpful comments in here.
I camped him in four different phases in order to maximize the chance (alternating CT and WM).
Also get NPC Timer so you can get additional information on your current shard! Helps alot.
When 10.1.5 announced that old dragons would get dragon riding too I was eager to finally push for the TLPD after giving up a couple of times.
Glad I was able to get hin within a week and alot of dedication.
First time in years that WoW got my heart beating fast again. <3

13 years of time lost and I finally bagged him thanks to hints here. I've had a couple of screen shots of myself with TLPD corpses in Nagrand and Snow Peaks but never mine. FINALLY a screen shot with a corpse & the mount in MY bag.
Downloaded NPC Time . Camped out at Bor's Breath where a couple of flight paths crossed a frozen section with one small glacier and a lager glacier at the other end. Bagged a Vyragos once and spotted Vyragos corpse once..... so knew I was on track. Continued to camp here and log in and log out at this location.
A beautiful flash of gold above the large glacier just a moment ago. One shot and Goblin Glided down to earth to avoid a awkward death.
Time for a Peaked Red!
On the day, the Frostfeather Harpies were showing a server time of 2 hours 13 minutes and the TLPD spawned
exactly
two hours later.
Now onto Mr Pinchy. Been fishing for him for around 12 years. I've had the magic box twice and never got the wish.
Thank you all very much for the tips!

Friend was on a flight path and it popped up today. He quickly got off the flight path and found it.
He invited me, I flew to his located and we killed it (1 shot since we're both 70 in DF)
We both got the mount.

just obtained mine after two days of dedicated searching! though i've been checking for this mount casually weekly since cata, so don't think i've just waltzed in with no issues, i've had plenty of heartbreak too.
i was at level cap 70, in warmode on argent dawn EU, so no chromie time. my chosen AFK spot was at 34,68 in bor's breath, atop the ruined platform. just wait there, have netflix or something else on either in another window on your screen or on a different monitor depending on your setup (i was watching 'my happy marriage' so i guess that's my good luck anime now). it took about two days of waiting (no overnights though), with five kills on vyragosa.
this macro, posted here originally by commenter Snowshoes
(though not their own original macro)
was by far the most important part of my hunt
. i pressed this macro whenever my character turned AFK and i went back into the game to jiggle around. it caught vyragosa every time, and just now the drake. use it, often.
/targetexact Time-Lost Proto-Drake
/targetexact Vyragosa
/run local N = UnitName("Target");if N and (N=="Time-Lost Proto-Drake") then PlaySound(13363);print(date(),N,"Found");SetRaidTarget("target",8);end
i will also say that the only mod that really felt useful for this was the NPC Time mod, which tracks how long a server's mobs have been alive for, meaning you can track stealth resets as well as how long you have to wait for any spawns. for example, today, normal mobs had been alive for 30-ish minutes before i appeared in the zone, and it took three and a half hours for the drake to spawn after that. it's also interesting to find the odd mob that's been alive for multiple days, across resets.

just got mine on my first attempt at camping which i realise is insanely lucky, but info still might help others :)
NPCTime on nearby mobs was 3 hours and 11 minutes when TLPD spawned, 8:36pm server time. only other addon used was silverdragon for the alert
i was
warmode off, chromie time on
- absolutely nobody around and this is on barthilas (decently populated server).
TLPD spawned at bor's breath

Considering that in
风暴峭壁
all mobs, including
维拉苟萨
and
迷时始祖幼龙
, reset when the zone is unpopulated, getting
迷时始祖幼龙的缰绳
is the equivalent to waiting 2-8 hours to roll a ten-sided die and rolling a 10 (granted your 4-man group is uncontested).
Edit: Finally after 16 years, I grinded this out with the help of friends, dual boxing on multiple accounts simultaneously covering 5 layers (between War Mode, Chromie Time and RP Servers) killing Vyragosa 19 times over the course of 9 days. Other tools include SilverDragon, RareScanner, HandyNotes: WoTLK, NPC Time, and multiple WeakAuras to emulate custom sounds that could trigger Alexa routines aided with a Finger Bot.

Not sure when this was added because I only noticed it for the first time today, but both the Time Lost Proto Drake and the Bronze Drake mounts now have a sound effect when summoned. It's the teleporting/portal sound which is often associated with bronze dragons. Interesting that they added this because this is definitely a recent change!
