Hmm this mount should be interesting. Added in Lich king
评论来自
Iamfivebears
One of the Proto-Drake mounts that are being shipped with Lich King. As this is a bronze drake, it is likely to be involved in the Caverns of Time somehow, possibly in it's new wing,
Stratholme

If you look at the page for the spell to summon it, it's been said already that this mount drops from a mob of the same name in Storm Peaks.

This is definately the best looking of the proto-drakes, with black in close second. Too bad you have to go through hell and back for the black one.

This does in fact drop off the rare dragon, Time-Lost Proto Drake. I was lucky enough to kill him today in The Storm Peaks and received this as a drop. I'm was hoping for a screen shot but I guess I'll have to wait until I hit 80 later this evening to see what it looks like.

This dropped for me around 38,62 November 16th - He was flying high above the ground. I was a mage so I could slow fall down after pulling him. I don't know if he is pathing over an easy pull-able ground spot.

You said he's flying high above the ground. Close to the height you are at in your screenshot or even higher?

Talehon
I just got this mount on my mage, and he spawns right with all the Stormpeak Wyrm's where Linty showed. I just flew around that area with a /target Time macro and when he popped up, I just looked around for a yellowish looking Proto-Drake and killed him.
He's a rather easy mob to kill, with a whopping 12k hp. He has I think a teleport and maybe an AoE, not really sure as I killed him in about 5 seconds, but as far as I can tell the mount is 100% drop rate.

Near my location at the screenshot, I discovered him a just a few yards infront of me. I had to mount up and get close to be in pulling range.

Zish
I believe I've figured out how this mob spawns.
So far, from what I can tell, there are 3 rares around the same area. This one, Vyragosa, and Dirkee.
They seem to share a 6ish hour spawn timer, with only one being up at a time.
I've killed Vyragosa twice and Dirkee once, no drake yet.
评论来自
superme
Vyragosa and Dirkee were up at the same time for me yesterday, have yet to see the time lost though. I'm thinking Vyragosa and Time Lost share the spawn.

Ah, that would make more sense.
They do seem to share the same path.

A solid month of camping has gone by and only 2 Time-Lost drakes have spawned on our server. Hopefully the rest of you have better luck.
NEW! Updated map with all 4 speculated routes.
http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/3272/vyragosa4yn3.jpg
What we feel is true -
1. Time-Lost Proto-drake and Vyragosa share a spawn timer.
2. Time-Lost Proto-drake and Vyragosa share patrol routes.
3. Time-Lost Proto-drake and Vyragosa share spawn points.
Additional tidbits -
4. The respawn of either mob is reported as 6-12 hours, with some reports of as little as 1 hour, to as much as 72 hours.
5. Time-Lost Proto-drake does NOT have to spawn once a week.
6. Time-Lost Proto-drake is reported to despawn after 10-15 minutes (unconfirmed).
7. Time-Lost Proto-drake is affected by phasing. (It is believed he can be seen in all phases until he is tagged, where upon he shifts into the phase of the player who tagged him).
8. Time-Lost Proto-drake is considered hostile to other creatures in the zone and may attack or be attacked by them (unconfirmed).
I strongly believe that the Time-Lost Proto-drake is simply the rare spawn of a rare spawn so to speak, either the random number generator comes up as Vyragosa or him, with much higher chance of Vyragosa.
- Edited for Typos.
Update 11/18/08 - Map edited, same colors apply.
Update 11/20/08 - Map edited, same colors apply. Things are becoming more clear I think.
Update 12/16/08 - New map with all 4 agreed upon routes shown on 1 map. Thanks to Rjko and MrReed!
UPDATE Friday April 3rd 2009 4:22 EST
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I've finally tagged and bagged me a proto-drake! I still had not to this day even SEEN this baby dead or alive, and after monhts of camping finally saw and tagged it for myself. He was flying towards the frozen lake up and over the waterfall from Bor's Breath when I spotted him, had a heart attack, and finally stop panicking enough to take him down. Good luck fellow drake hunters!

Are we definitely thinking that Vyragosa and the Time-lost share a spawn point and path, and it's completely random which one comes out?
I was looking around this morning and I found Dirkee and killed him. While I was fighting him Vyragosa flew overhead! I lost her until she patted back around, which I'd say was 5-7 minutes total.
Your map is a bit off, at least the part I was able to see of her path. I think she spawns between the crash site and terrace of the makers, and head's south. She flies directly over the temple of the makers (thats the hole in the ground right?) and then out between the temple of storms and the village on the east.
But then the question is - some people have seen the Time-Lost over in the blue drake field I think? So maybe they are not on the same flight path?
And I say she spawns at that point because I was doing circles around the area and nothing on all 3 of the rares. Then I found Dirkee and a minute later Vyragosa is over my head.
I'm not sure where she pats after that. I saw her when she flew over my head while I was fighting Dirkee (who was north of the hole in the ground by the cliff, right next to an NPC) and I lost her until she came back to the same spot. She does fly HIGH, I wasn't able to reach her to bring her down until she flew over a broken building at the south-west heading out of the area.
We are thinking that it's a 6 hour respawn timer too? How does that timer work with servers going down for maintenance? Does it keep coming from when she was killed? Does she come up with the realm? Does the respawn timer reset? I never really understood all of that.
Here's hoping that the next time I find a rare dragon it's the Time-Lost and not Vyragosa!

How high does it fly, in relation to the mountains around it. I fear I've been in the same area as it but might be flying to low. I'm not flying near the ground but I'm not flying at the top of the mountains either.

Uh the best I can say is in the middle? Definitely not towards the top, but higher up than 40 yards because I couldn't reach Vyragosa until she flew over a platform I could stand on. Definitely couldn't hit her from the ground.

So I went hunting when servers came up and had no luck on any of the spawns. I'll try back about 6 hours after servers came up, see if one of them pops then.
评论来自

I'm actually not sure about the 6 hour spawn timer now.
The first time I killed Vyra, she spawned 6 hours later.
6 hours after that, nothing spawned. Another 6 hours and still nothing has spawned.

Junslasht
The herbs in the area sell for a ridiculous amount so while picking up another few stacks I figured I'd look for the drake when the servers popped. Spent about an hour herbing, no luck on the drake.
评论来自
mrjngo
Same thing goes for me. I killed Vyragosa the first time and waited for the next 6 hours and in turn nothing spawned. I'm thinking that after that supposed 6 hours, it could spawn at any random time.
So it doesn't have to spawn exactly right at 6 hours, but any random time after that.
I'm pretty these guys spawn right below where Valkrion and The Temple of Storms are located. That's where I first seen Vyragosa spawn, unless these rares spawn at random locations also.

I'm starting to wonder if maybe this dragon is a super-rare spawn. I have that item mod (where you can type in a number and it shows you the item - if it's been seen on your server) and nothing comes up for the Reins. I do it on stuff from Vyragosa and it works fine.
Also, I noticed it's not one of the rares that you can get the achievement for killing. So does that mean its not around very often at all?
评论来自
Zish
It may be very rare.
I've seen 4 rares now, after being here for 2 days, and still no Time-Lost. Also, this item doesn't seem to have been found on my server either.

Vyragosa spawned the 2nd time for me again. This time it was a 7 hour spawn and they definitely spawn right at where I mentioned. Inbetween Temple of Storms and that other town Valkrion. As a rogue, fighting Vyragosa sucked cause I couldn't kill it at all. Good thing I had help from a Hunter.

Found the mob pathing up towards the drake field from the east at 47, 64. He flies low enough you can grab him on your mount to the ground. Dropped the reins, a boe blue neck and a bag with gold and cloth.

I killed Vyragosa about 30 minutes ago while waiting/hoping for time lost to spawn. I noticed however the corpse is still there (which I did loot). Provided someone doesn't come along and skin it, we may have a way to gauge the minimum time frame we can expect a new spawn. I'm gonna see if I can catch another spawn before I log tonight so I'll update this post with any additional info I gather.
Edit: And as I posted this someone skinned him, but I have an exact time that I killed him so I should be able to get some more info in the way of a timer.
评论来自
Kastigar
We apparently have 2 people on our server with one, I spoke with one of them and he couldn't remember the 2nd guys name. Still he indicated he got his on Saturday while the 2nd was Sunday or Monday. Hardly Conclusive but if it's true it would imply the spawn timer is something reasonable. Those of us looking can only hope.

I know of at least 1 confirmed Time Lost on my server and atlas still wont update with the item info in the database. So it may be more of a mod issue than a rarity one.

I've been going checking this area frequently spamming the following macro trying to find the rares and with a bit of luck pick up this awesome mount.
/tar Time
/tar Dirkee
/tar Vyra
Have only found Vyragosa so far and much to my dismay it only seems to do ranged attacks so I couldn't kill it before it killed me, sucks for melee and I'm hoping it does more then just a ranged attack that I couldn't even spell reflect.
评论来自
knib
I had a similar issue with this Vyragosa. If you walk backwards far enough after engaging he flies lower and comes within melee. You end up standing in his feet launching your attacks.
I'm using the same macro.
Timer is not six hours, it may be the minimum, but there is definitely no guarantee.

I found Vyragosa flying over the field with blue prot drakes comming from the south, mid air..60 -70 yards up?, had to slowfal pull anyway , been trying to search several times but only found vyragosa flying north over Brunnhildarvillage, or well, seen her just after it i guess. starting to &*!@ me off :D
评论来自
Kastigar
Well I thought I would update you guys now that I've camped the area for another cycle.
First: It took 7 hours for a respawn, not 6 this time (thought that doesn't mean it doesn't or cant spawn in 6)
Second: I fought and killed Vyragosa at almost the exact same time (4am server) last night. While this could be a coincidence I'm inclined to say there might be more. I fought Vyra earlier this evening at around 9pm server. So tomorrow I will be making a point of checking around that time. Perhaps there are scheduled spawnings as opposed to 6 hours minimum after death.
Just some food for thought. Perhaps other posters could keep tabs on times to see if my situation is unique.

According to couple of the pictures and texts about Vragosa, he is going to both directions around the path.. I would like to add to your picture that Vyragosa has been spotted going towards K3 south of Bor's Breath.. I'm speaking about vyragosa too because there has been reports that they share the spawn and the patrol route.
The route atm is like this:
Spawn spot reported to be at Bor's Breath, there it will move south or east,
South: it goes down the path with harpies, turns left when the drop comes and you see Icecrown, heads right towards K3, after reaching K3 it heads up to Brunnhiedar Village, no information about where after that.
East: it goes directly east the path until the abandoned camp over the hills south of the engine of the makers is, it curves up there and flies over the engine and there it goes either between the crash site and temple of invention or then it goes between the temple of winter and temple of invention.
I myself have not killed either of those dragons, but i have been tracking them and figuring out the path and read all the comments posted on both dragons, that route is what i have got.

Alright so there has been alot of hype on this mount so far. I think we all know that.. But now let's try to figure out more of an exact spawn point or where he does pat through. There has been alot of info spread around and i have been gathering it. Just myself last night i spent 17hours30mins waiting for him and no luck..( got vyragosa twice tho ) I know hey this guy needs a life i do have one but i did go out of my way for this one. Ok so lets break down what we know...
1. 46.60 is a coord that has been comming up frequently. Which is in the Stormpeak Wyrm field ( Possible exact spawn point ? )
2. There also has been sighting of him in The Broodmother's nest .. 38,65
3. Also sightings in Bor's Breath which is right below...
4. Brunnhildar is also a spot that many spotted Vyragosa... I myself went exploring accross it to the other mountain and saw more of those Stormpeak Wyrms. < Dragonspine Peaks >. Which people have said to see him come up to the Wyrm fields from that direction.
5. Engine of the makers has also been mentioned which crosses paths with most of the points I have just mentioned
6. Known information that Vyragosa and Dirkee share the same path and from where i have killed these 2 they seem to share the same info that people have been sending about where they have killed the " Time-Lost proto drake "
Alright so let's sum this up .. Starting from the most common point .. 46,60 + 38,65 + 30,65 + 52,68.. Now just connect the dots or make yourself some waypoints on your map and you get yourself a path for all 3 of the spawns.
Note: It is said that more then one of them can be up at a time so don't get your hopes up. If you really want this mount i think its worth giving a try.
As for RESPAWN timers there isn't solid information about it i tried to squeez it out of blizzard but no luck, BUT there is 1 sever that 2 people found it within 1-2 days from eachother so possibly 24hour respawn timer ? hmm.. Well Good hunting to you all i shall keep you posted!
100% DROP RATE ( Don't forget to spam your /target Time macro )..

I have also seen Vyragosa go North, over Valkyrion and follow the mountainside to the Plains of Snow and then back towards the crash site and into the valley with the Engine of the Maker in it. I would of let it go further but a rude hunter saw the dragon and instead of benefiting everyone, shot it out of the air.

A good way to check if this dragon is up might be to copy/paste the link you find here on wowhead and see if it actually displays anything or stays stuck on 'Retrieving item information'. If it displays, a mob has been spawned with that item in his loottable. The server should cache it from the moment it spawns, or gets looted and 'forgets' it when the server restarts, so you can only reliable check with this after a server restart. So far it has not been linkable for over 7 hours since the 'Outland-EU' server came up. Remember also that it is 'destroyed' when you learn it, so after each server crash it should be only linkable when the mob spawns (or is killed unfortunatly).
Apparently this was also used to seek instances of the Black Temple where an Illidan could be found that had a glaive in his loottable.

I have been searching for a while, I saw a screenshot of a guy killing it in the Foot Steppes by all the flying Drakes, so I have been sitting there most of my time. I have been doing flights on the patrol path you guys think the dragon spawns but no luck.
Also, I found Vyra on accident on the first day I was 77 but no luck on mount. I found her directly south of the O in Temple of Storms, I ran into her, bubbled and just waited for her to get closer.
Doubt that helps anyone, but I have been doing most of my flights between the Drake camp and there.

this mount has also been killed at and around the harpy nests.
wish me luck on the next respawn. ive heard the respawn is 5 days, but ive also heard it is 6 hours.

Alrighty here's some info that might help out , Ok so i been waiting just about 34 hours now , and no sight of him but i spoke to about 4 different GM's today and one of them i asked " What happens if he's bugged and doesn't spawn ? " he said : " If it's been more then 3 days and you haven't seen him he is most likely bugged and should be reported ". So this meaning respawn timer should be less then 3 days and according to info from another server " 2 mounts were found within 1-2 days from eachother so hey! thats good news were getting somewhere, anyways good luck to you all again and don't forget to check up on my comment overhead " Its the big one " =)

So you think that that link would work if the mob spawned? Not necessarily that someone killed him and looted it? Because it's not working on my server.. so either that means the drake hasn't been around since reset or I don't know
评论来自
jglonek
I'm pretty sure he hasn't been since on my server since the reset, if ever. So I just put in a ticket with a GM, we'll see what the answer is.
Assuming he was bugged and it's fixed.. what is the respawn time we're thinking? 6, 7, and 8 hours is what I've heard here.

What is the accuracy of this link?
My server restarted about 30 minutes ago and I am able to link with it, yet a very thorough search of the area using a /tar time /tar dirkee /tar vyra macro does not turn up the Time-Lost or any placeholder spawns. I'm going to have to call shenanigans on the link being an accurate indicator of whether or not the Time-Lost Proto-Drake is up.
评论来自
jglonek
I think I have an answer for that.
The idea is that once you 'learn' the mount it destroys the actual reins item. So that if the server restarts no one has 'seen' the item since the restart and therefore you aren't able to link it. Same idea on why we can't go hopping through raid loot yet because no one has been in the raids to see it.
But since it requires 300 riding AND level 80, it's possible someone on your server killed the dragon who does not meet those requirements and just has the reins sitting in his bags or bank. Therefore it still exists on the server after the restart.
评论来自
oioichuck
That is because when the person uses the mount to learn the spell the item is gone. So after a reset of the realms the item doesn't 'exist' anymore, and therefore cannot link it.

Yes, I'm almost positive that Vyra and Time-Lost share the same spawn and path, judging by the recent posts.

In my opinion it takes the place of either dirkee or vyragosa because its sighted at both locations. Its either around where dirkee is or around where vyragosa is. Which is why its a super rare spawn.

I've been hunting for this since I hit 80 - no dice. I haven't even seen vyra or dirkee. Can anyone else on US Jubei'thos confirm that they have seen
any
of these rare dragons?

This mob just spawned right in front of me at 27.55. About 9 hours after I killed Vyragosa. I'm pretty sure this is his spawn point and 99% sure he shares his spawn and path with Vyragosa.
Good luck all.

Same with mining...while I haven't seen the mob yet I have gathered about 3 stacks of saronite as it spawns all down inside the trench with the harpies. Good money making on the side.

I was just about to post when you did. I was sitting at 50,52 eating/drinking. My pet suddenly went to attack something that was attacking him (on defensive) and he actually hit the mob before it even had spawned visually on my screen. I think that this is either its spawn point, or, maybe it spawns randomly. It literally spawned on top of me.
But no doubt about it it spawned at 50,52 100% certain.

Well Vyragosa just spawned. I was at 27,55 and headed south past the Valkyrie place, I think she spawned at the very very beginning of Bor's Breadth, and was going to start around in her loop. No sign of Dirkee or the Time-Lost, I'll check again in 5 hours or so.
I also notice that after obtaining the Northern Exposure achievement, the next one, to kill ALL the rare spawns Northrend, does not list the Time-Lost Proto Drake...?

I am very skeptical about the 6 hour respawn time. I killed Vyragosa 2 days ago at 4:43p EST and have not seen either of them since. I have literally not left Storm Peaks for the last 3 days.
Ran around all the posted spawn points and alleged paths where they roam and no dice.
**Note**
After the initial kill, I went back immeadieatly 6 hours to check with nothing. Checked every hour after that till I fell asleep somewhere around 4a EST. I am starting to think the spawn might be bugged (at least on my server) because if I try to paste the link for the mount (reigns of the time-lost proto drake) it still comes up as "retrieving item information."

You might be on to something there. There was one report on like the first page that indicated he was killed at terrace of the makers. This would also explain his (at least initial) pat down into 46,60 where many of the reports have been.

Yeah I'm sorta having the same problem on Tich atm, I killed Vyragosa twice on tuesday and once yesterday afternoon at 1:32 server time (seemed to be spawning about 6-8 hours inbetween), went back at 6:30 pm server and stayed there most of the night. However once I had gone afk some rogue apparently pulled Vyragosa and died, then I guess Vyra despawned. (I'm only going off of what I read in general chat) I'm wondering if the mob despawns, as a hunter had time lost proto drake despawn after he died from falling, if the mob bugs out and doesn't spawn anymore? I tried to tell a gm that I thought the spawns were bugged but he only told me that he didnt have that information etc.
Anyway good luck to anyone farming this, I'm probably only going to hold out until I sleep tonight. (Starting to fall behind in heroics from camping this :( )
On a side note, after you put in the item link and it says retrieving of information will it continue to try and find the item until the game creates it? As in once the mob spawns will the item show up out of no where, or does the game not register an item until someone loots it? I only ask this because I could park my paladin in the canyon area then start leveling a death knight or something with the item link trying to find the mount then log in when it pops up ;) GL ppl!

This is wrong about the Vyragosa path atleast I can fill out abit. At the lonely red dot she spawns (atleast for me) then I tried to get in range to shoot her from the ground but didn't work so mounted up and by that time she had flown from that red dot over The Frigid Tomb continuing west towards Bor's Breath.
EDIT: Though reading some more comment it seems like she got a random spawn between random of points :p
评论来自
Vantix
The way I think the retrieving information works, is that it will only show that if the item has not been seen on a mob or someone else since the last server restart/crash (ie...Tuesday maintenance)
There is a post on page 1 that describes it. Guilds used to use this method to find out if Illidan was going to drop a Warglaive right after server maintenance.

I found him at 28, 66 and he was going south! He didnt seem to move that fast.

ok, just killed Vyragosa after being out here for a couple days. i have camped it off and on, qued the server a few times here and there and kept a check on Atlasloot. still has yet to be seen on Onyxia. Been out here flying around off and on (more on then off) since the servers came up tues. tonight was kinda a weird kill. i thought that maybe it was a spawn like old Final Fantasy 11. the mobs you killed were the place holder for the rare. so i started killing proto drakes. then all the sudden about 10 min after i killed a bunch that were flying above me, Vyragosa flys above me. she went from 46,59 spot heading in a north/east direction to the harpies. i kick myself now for not having my waypoint addon on. could have followed it path and marked it out. oh well.
hopefully time lost pops soon.

So, do you think killing the proto-dragons will spawn varygosa (maybe Time-Lost?)?

I think it's safe to say that this is the most sought-after mount in the expansion so far. :P
Anyways, I'm one of those guys who is looking for it all the time right now. I just wanna thank everyone who has been posting information about it, it really helps clear up a lot of things about spawn points and patrol routes. So you guys deserve a big "THANK YOU!"
Edit: Oh, and I'm also one of those people who found one of the rares (Vyragosa in this case) dead. Damn! But oh well. Luckily it wasn't the Time-Lost. :D

Kiling Proto-Drakes in the area could not be a way to let them spawn faster because if you go on questing in Storm Peak the map will change and change quest after quest and at a certain point all the Proto Drakes in the area will disappear and a lot of giants and dwarves will take them place (as those fighting in the Terrace of Makers).
This happened to me yesteday so I think it's not possible that the spawn could be influenced by Proto-Drakes farming.

Ive been seaching many days for this thing, i used the loot link tactic to help a little, it would usually get stuck, and displayed no link, then finnaly it did pop up, i went up and searched high and low for it, then raid time came up and had to go. 7 hours later, after some naxx and halls of lighting. i went to search for it again, i still couldnt manage to find anything, then one last pass of boars breath omw back to daralan i flew right into her, i thought i was dreaming!.
she is definatly totaly random in her ways, i had flown though and all over the points listed 3 times before she was there. it must have spawned in broodmothers nest , and started flying to the village in the west, thats the only thing i can think of.
this would have been 7hrs+ after i was able to see the loot link, ive seen many people flying around the zone, i doubt this was the same spawn that made the loot link come up, im sure its average life span is very limmited.

Could it be possible that the mob might only be visible after completing some of these zone-altering events? Can anyone confirm whether they've seen the drake or its corpse before or after doing many quests in the zone?
评论来自
Lexar
Reanna, on the account of the visibility of the dragon being influenced by having completed a certain quest or not, I can only say I deem it unlikely. I've had 92/100 storm peaks quest completed for some days and as said I've been waiting here since tuesday evening. No dragon, no mount in the servercache, nothing. There's one report of a guy having it on my server (EU-Dragonblight) and he didnt want to tell when he got it, with how many quests completed or where.
Also, I'm a bit unsure about how that macro works for querying (spelling?) the server. It is 100% sure that there's someone with the mount on my server, and still I cannot convince the server into letting me link the mount. What I'm afraid of is that the macro/linking only works if it actually dropped instead of being available in a loot-table.

I'm fairly certain that, like the Outlands rare elites, there's a small handful of possible spawning locations and paths. Usually there's no more than 3 distinct paths... but given the quality of this thing's loot and its rarity, it may be special in some other way.
I'm finishing up my 3rd or 4th continuous day of searching.. not sure, time is starting to blend into itself.. haven't had much sleep in a while. Server's been up for something like 96 hours since Tuesday's maintenance, no drake spawn at all according to the lack of item tooltip.

Personally witnessed a 68 priest kill this yesterday. Had to help him out a little, but I didn't want to be a jerk. I documented the time, and plan to check back today if it is in fact a 24 hour spawn. If it is, I'll at the very least find it's corpse.
I also killed Vyrigosa this morning. If they do in fact share a 12 hour spawn, which is possible from my current observations, I'll have to check back after that. I'll let you guys know if I find out anything concrete.

So each one will spawn 12 hours after each others death then?
Also you want to keep in mind you might of missed it since they could of spawned when you were afk or not in the zone, and if the person that killed it was a skinner there would not be a body to check.

I have been online since 3am yesterday, its now 24hours later.
I've killed Vyragosa last morning at 7:06AM, and i have been around aswell around 7 PM but I have not seen the Time-Lost Proto Drake or Vyragosa spawning since then.
I have however just killed Dirkee at 3:02.
Im gonna hope I will see something today then around 7.
But i've got my doubts about that 12 hours spawn after each others death thing.

First, let me say I have been camping this area for 2 1/2 days with a fellow Proto-Drake hunter. After voraciously reading the comments here during my camp fest, I feel the need to clear some stuff up. I see a lot of half-guesses and theories that are wrong so I'd like to say the following:
A couple days ago, we killed Vyragosa around 11:00pm server time.
Following the "6 hour respawn" theory, I returned shortly before 5am and flew around and found nothing. At 5:04am I literally saw Vyragosa appear and start flying south over Engine of the Makers. She died again at 5:07am.
Over the next 24 hours (yes, a full 24 hours), myself and my hunting buddy were teamed up at every 1-hour mark from a few hours after her last death. Between the two of us, we did not find Vyragosa again (nor Time-Lost Proto) until 8:45am the following morning (not sure about the exact spawn time). I highly doubt both of us missed any spawns that happened during that time unless it was offset from the assumed 1-hour-increment spawn timer.
Additionally, I have been querying the server constantly for the Reins, and it is still coming up as "Retrieving item information" indicating that Time-Lost has not spawned since server reset (or nobody on the server has it? Not sure which it is).
Dirkee was killed once or twice in that time, but I didn't keep track of the exact times. I really don't think it's related since he doesn't share a patrol path, nor any spawn points, with the two dragons.
TLDR version
: Respawn time has been verified at the 6 hour mark, and also verified
NOT
at the 6 hour mark. It is definitely variable, but to what degree (and in what time increments) I could not say just yet.
Good luck to everyone still hunting. I'll be out there as long as it takes, or until I completely lose my sanity.

To update on my situation;
On Jubei'thos I've asked around, no one I've spoken to have seen any of these rares - I myself haven't done any storm peaks quests, so I'm going to do the quests, then see if perhaps it might have something to do with it. I know people have said lowbies and such have done it, but for my own sake I'm going to do it anyway. I'll update once I'm done.

This, turn this into a macro and spam it every once in a while. If you click the link, it queries the server for the mount, if the link gets stuck at 'retrieving item information' you know the mount hasnt dropped since the server reset.. (Since items need to be seen before they end up in the server cache).
What I dont know however is, if the items get placed into the server cache *before* they drop, when they're already in the loottable of a mob.

The server query used to give "Retrieving item information" no matter how many times I clicked it. I've been doing it a lot over the past 3 days. Just a few minutes ago, it started to disconnect me from the game immediately upon clicking it. I've tested it 4 times now. What gives? I don't think the mob is spawned because I've been flying around for the last 20 minutes..

I just got this a few minutes ago, after finding out it exists only about an hour ago or so. Went to check the spawns, but couldn't find it right away, after mining for a while all around storm peaks, decided to check the spawn again, spammed my macro. And flew towards the south of the trench, where I just happened to stumble upon it. Then I just aggroed it with my flying mount and flew down. It teleport to the ground where I could easily kill it.
Im still shaking from the excitement!
For anyone who wonders if it has anything to do with the phasing, i have about 50 quests complete in storm peak, scattered all across the area so I highly doubt it has anything to do with it. IF the spawn is related to phasing you will have to do certain quests.

Just dropped for me on Arathor, server query showed no information before, does now so maybe it was a server first?
I'd been farming for a few hours, under 3 but over 1 - stopped to mine some saronite when a proto drakes shadow flew over me - heart started racing as I knew there were atleast 2 other people patrolling the area, but I managed to tag it before an alliance player flew back around.
Coords: around 37-70 that I was stood, but as the shadow isn't beamed directly down it's only a rough area, by the time I'd mounted up and flown to it it was just on the start of the pass leading from Bor's Breath to the Engine of the Makers.
Will link screenies to try and clarify locations.

Staked out for this for the past 3 days, only seen 1 spawn and that was of Vyragosa. Killed that and hasn't spawned again apparantly.
Alot of people annoyingly naive about this dragon, thinking they can come and get an easy mount, while i been sitting here for 3 days. The annoying thing is that im sure it'll end up paying off for one of them at some point.
Anyway I had nothing meaningful to say other than there is likely only a 6 hour MINIMUM re spawn time on Vyragosa and Time Lost. Ofcourse Dirkee is not connected.
Still trying to work out a spawn point of the dragons, i think around 27.54 is where Vyragosa spawns atleast if it isnt variable. But just based on its where i seen him after some pretty fast searching.
Keep the comments and discoveries coming. Gz to whoever got it already and a good luck to whoever is still trying.,

I see a lot of people wondering if any quests affect him spawning. All I can say is that I've not done a single quest in Storm Peaks. So I very highly doubt that quests have anything to do with seeing the drake fly around.
Edit: 44 Hours later (exactly), Vyragosa spawned. No sight of Dirkee or another Time-Lost yet.
Edit 2: Been here~7 days now. Been 72 hours since the last Time-Lost sighting and 28 hours since the last Vyragosa spawn, nothing in sight yet.
Edit 3: 34 hours after the first Vyragosa kill, it spawned again and died at 30.68 pretty much the same place as last time, and where we found Time-Lost dead 78 hours earlier. Few hours before the server maintenance.

Just asked a GM about it (Ye clogging up tickets FTW), concerning wether it was bugged that it hasnt spawned in 5-6 days.
He said if it was a bug it would be fixed at weekly maintenance, which makes it sound like he knew it was a bug they were aware of.
But he then said it wasn't a bug as far as he could see.
So the hopes still alive!
BTW can anyone confirm the item link works, BEFORE the (spawned) time lost is killed?

I have found some odd discs around Storm Peaks that may relate to this in someway.
There is one at 46,65.6 that one of the drakes in that area constantly walks up to and takes longer than the others to respawn.
Another is at 33.7,68.6, however I have not yet seen a mob by it.
I seem to recall seeing another, but I can't quite recall where it was.
Another located on what I believe to be it's patrol path: 60.5, 48.1 (no mob)
Are these possibly part of a quest? If not, if anyone else finds them, post the coords.
So Far:
46,65.6
60.5,48
33.7,68.6

Ok so here is my experience so far.
I found out through a few others and a GM and the macro that posts the link in your chat, that the mount had been looted Yesterday afternoon. I have not left the zone since. I fly to every spawn point in a big circle every 5 to 10 mins. When I went to bed I set my alarm to wake me up every hour to do a quick loop around. So with my math I have not been flying around checking for him a grand total of 4 hours.
That is from 6pm to now 10:15pm the next day thats been about 24-25 hours of flight ( I subtracted the 4 hours I slept.)
Not one thing has spawned. And my server is empty over here. I have encountered maybe three people looking for the mount and they only look for about 30 mins before they give up.
I then talked to a GM who confirmed that a spawn can in fact take Several days to respawn.
For those who dont understand the link macro that puts a link of the loot in your chat.
If you get Retrieving Information. That means the loot you linked has not been looted since Tuesdays restart. If the link appears and you can click it. That means someone has looted it Since Tuesday and it has spawned. To clarify further "retrieving info" = good loot being linked = someone has looted since tuesday and thus the macro is no longer useful until next Tuesday
The only thing I can say to do to help in getting this is absolute dedication. In order to insure you get this mount you need a bit of free time and a lot of luck. Sorry this isnt good luck but I will post more info when I get my mount. Good luck to everyone

Just encountered Vyragosa again. I can confirm that in this case (and the previous) he spawned 27.54. I then followed his patrol patch ALL the way round.
He goes in a large circle around temple of storms. Going behind Grom'arsh crash site and returning down by 40.50, and flying over the giant hole. Obviously it then patrols through the icy patch and back up to the spawn location.
It flys very high so be careful, but the macro should reach no matter.
Just reporting in anyhow, and maybe now this gives me atleast 6 hours to sleep knowingly :)

Another note
Vyragosa has a different spawn and a different pathing to the Time-Lost Proto Drake

Hey guys, I just talked to a GM and he said there are no requirements to be able to see this mob.
Meaning..
There aren't any quests you have to complete.. or phasings you have to go through.. or even other rare mobs you have to kill before you can fight it.
Bascially you just have to be at the right place at the right time... :/
sucks..

Vyragosa killed at 11:51 @ 26,55
Now I dont know if that resets Time-Lost spawn timer or if hes on a seperate timer but it has been 26 hours from its last known spawn
It took Vyragosa 30 mins for her corpse to disappear

Is it possible that the respawn could be weekly, or are there reports of him being seen twice or more between Tuesdays?
评论来自
ath234
There have been reports of getting two in between a 20 hour period. My best guess and I have been at a dozen websites talked to two GMS and been searching non stop is this.
Vyragosa spawns in the valley behind the crash site about once every 6-12 hours
Time-Lost spawns amongst the blue proto drakes and down in the bird valley once every 6hours to 3 days.
So if you spend an entire day there you will most likely spot Vyra once or twice. If you stay there for 3 days you will see the proto at min once. This is why the Time-Lost has a 100% drop rate of the mount

Had one fly right above me on the southeast edge of the Temple of Storms, had to follow it to Valkyrion to get a kill. The first time I tagged it, it used a stun and damaged me after I hit levitate and I fell to my death. I tracked him back down to Valkyrion and got it there. Pretty easy kill, even as a holy priest.
Camped the spawn from about 4pm pacific to 9pm on Uldum-US. Never saw Vyra. Alliance 1st. :)

My server hasn't been reset in 4 days and Time-Lost has yet to spawn. My guess is that the gm that said 6 hours - 3 days just meant that as an example.

Again, just so people can read it. Silvermoon US has 3 confirmed time lost drakes that have been acquired within a 7 day period. It may be bugged if it hasn't spawned for 3+ days. Additionally this things pathing area is much larger than originally thought. The server query method doesn't seem to be 100% accurate as I was unable to retrieve item info after Tuesday until sometime Saturday, but the mount had dropped after downtime. Just because it hasn't been seen, doesn't mean it hasn't spawned and been killed (or spawned and bugged out).

ok so i just talked to a gm and he said that you do NOT have to have you epic riding skill to loot the mount / see the drake. he said it spawns in many different spots throughout storm peaks but who knows how many is many.
of course when i asked about respawn timer he said he wasnt at liberty to say.
also had no idea on a despawn timer.

Bishoujo
It's definitely not a maximum of three days. As Haomarush went the first 8 days of Wrath with zero spawns of him. >.> As well, I spoke to a GM on the 8th day and he confirmed it is NOT bugged, so that logic is flawed. It's just meant to be extremely rare.

This is definately true. I've been camping the Foot Steppes and Valkyrion for days and never saw a thing. Then last night I logged on right outside HoL, flew the supposed pathing route of the time lost, and nothing. So I started heading back to Dalaran, then to my complete shock ( I nearly jumped out of my seat) I saw him appear right in front of my face at Bor's Fall ( the frozen waterfall at the southern end of Bor's Breath). I was head south and it looked like he was just starting to turn north into Bor's Breath. This was not an area anyone had mentioned seeing him.
Thank God I still had a slow fall lager that I bought from Frosthold. As a warrior, I used heroic Throw, then slow falled to the ground for the kill.
http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e88/stilts66/Time-LostProtoDrake.jpg
I think it's safe to say he does NOT have only one spawn point and path. This makes finding him even harder, cause he can be at any point in the zone at any given time. I'm the 3rd person on US-Bronzebeard to get this mount that I know of. And from my experience and reading others', no matter how hard you try, getting him is going to come down to plain dumb luck.

I have also tried to find this. I have not searched for days, but checked a few times. It would be so great to ding 80 with this in your backpack :p Ive also checked posts and stuff and created an image of locations for this drake:

I just talked to a GM. He says that within the 1 week between server resets, the mob must spawn.
He then kinda changed his stance and said "Well, it could be that one of the three has to spawn".
He also stated that "it could take up to a week to respawn".

nice work :)
I find it hard to track ANY elite atm...
I'v been searching for it for some day's now...it even stopped me from getting my last 30 % to 80 while I did the first in about 3 - 4 day's....
I have not encountered any rare elite so far....are there any pictures of the other drakes?
I use the following macro :
/tar Time
/tar Dirkee
/tar Vyra
would love to see confirmed that it actually helps, cause after about 6 day's of searching with no hit on the macro what so ever I am starting to doubt...
never the less...I will not stop looking until the time-lost thingy is hunted down :)
thnx all, for the support, sharing info etc, really gives an extra dimension on the game.

Leg is bouncing a mile a minute, i'm totally wired. The only positive is I haven't seen anyone else regularly patrolling the area. I think I've pressed my macro button at least 5000+ times.

I'm also capitulating now, the last time i saw the drake was on thursday morning ~7:30 a.m. - he was dead....
Now it's sunday evening and still no spawn?
I think i'll do my hero achievement and get my red proto drake - looks cooler and is funnier to get.
No luck - just skill.
The biggest problem is that the time lost proto drake can spawn everywhere in storm peaks?
I liked the dire maul arena, parked my character there, logged in and either killed the mob or logged out - no searching...

So ive been spamming my target macro and checking the item link now and then.
Since of the beginning of this last weekend the link didnt show info.
Now on saturday night it sundenly links the item, ive been searching and searching but couldnt find it, then on sunday looking again i found Vyra and killed her.
So now the big question is, does vyra and the time lost share the respawn times ?
If so that means someone must have killed the time lost and has it in him/her backpack ( not lvl 80 yet )
While typing this now i can still link the item. Can anyone confirm what this could mean ?
My theory:
1)If its not linkable anymore after server restarts ( aka wednesday ) the drake was up ?
2) if it is linkable after wednesday some player whos not 80 yet must have it in her/hes backpack ?
3) Vyra and time CAN be up @ the same time so it could be possible that time is still flying somewhere ?
I wont ask on general chat or whereever in game, so that not other people get the idea to search for it :P im on one of the lowest populated servers.
thnx, happy hunting !

This is weird...I've been camping this guy all week and have yet to see him, and also cannot link the Time-Lost mount item. I'm pretty sure he hasn't spawned on our server since at least Tuesday, but I also strongly suspect that he has not spawned on the server at all.
I put in a ticket, but the GM couldn't even figure out how to see if someone else had the mount yet. /sigh
I saw Vyragosa at 1 PM on Saturday and killed her. Didn't see any rarespawns for the rest of the day/night. Next day, logged in to see her corpse north of Valkyrion. Time was, approximately, 1 PM again.

Vyragosa died at 00.15, Time-Lost spawned more or less at 7.15 in Bor's Breath.

pfff had a huge post with some usefull info and some conclusions...but the site decided to eat it up due to maintenance :S....
here we go again, a bit shorter ;
didn't have any encoounter with none of the elites so far, so yesterday I made a ticket, for something else so the GM would not be ''prepared''.
He didn't give me much info but said two things which might be coincidence or maybe not.
he said that I should hunt at times when other are @ bed...so that means by night / early morning.
and he said to be really
sure
that there was nothing wrong with the time-lost, spawning...
yes he said he was
SURE
, the thing is, I'v been haunting it for more that 6 day's now, and never saw time-lost vyragosa or dirkee..untill yesterday till now I saw both the time-lost, dead unfortunatly, and vyra, which I killed, she was heading from the waterfalls to the temple of storms.
both coords and lot from the kill can be seen in the picture below.
the thing I am doubting of is, could the GM reset the spawing, to do a player, in this case me, a favour? first never seen it in more then 6 day's--> made a ticket --> 2 rare elites within 24 hours.....hmmmm...
well, I'll keep you posted on any findings...here are the links :
dead time-lost

Christmas came early this morning, was just flying around without even looking for him and bam, there he was and nearly gave me a heart attack.
Easy even if lvl 80, a 77 Elementalist mage had no problems whatsoever and can't see how other classes would either. Spotted him over Frosthold, a little bit south.
Good luck to everyone who's looking for it!

I got this great looking mount this morning around 5 am. I spent my last two nights camping the valley with the blue Protodragons and this morning the mob just spawned there. Luck I was the only one there so I just killed the Dragon and got the mount......so if you really want it you can definitely get it you just have to stay awake and wait^^
good luck to all of you^^....it's just worth it! =)

Just got mine at 3:02am server time, Darkspear (US).
Appeared at 37.9, 76.7 @ approx. 100 yds up. Because there was nobody around I just flew on top of him to aggro him and slowly descended, then beat him to death and took the Reins.

Found him yesterday at Bor's Breath when I was mining. Followed him to Valkyrion and killed him there.
Simply aggroed him while on mount, and slowly brought him down. Quite easy to solo
20 seconds later a poor priest showed up and found the dragon dead, apparently he had been looking for it the whole day.

I had been camping the drake for several days and never got to see any of the rares in thia area. I spent 5-7 hours of flying just to get any hint at the spawn time. Yesterday then, I killed Vyragosa at 14:55 (Broodmothers nest). I went back at 20:55 but no spawn and no body anywhere, so I went to bed to get up at 02:55 but nothing. I read jerks forum while waiting and two hours later I found the time-lost proto drake lying around just east of the engine. Just some minutes too late :(
Trying again after server maintenance. The troll priest who got the mount was the only one flying aroung there regularly as far as I know.

To update my situation on Jubei'thos (US)...
I still have not seen any of the rare drakes - let alone the TLPD... maintenance tomorrow, I'm gonna jump on straight after and have a look around to see if any of them spawn.
If anyone on Jubei'thos has seen anything please post just to confirm that any of the 3 rares have spawned :S
Edit: Ok so these drakes aren't bugged - just killed Vyragosa at 27,55 - just to the east of valkyrion. Gonna camp out and hope for TLPD

Just dropped on Kul Tiras US. Monday, 11/24/08
I only found out about this mount earlier this evening while browsing MMO-Champion's mount list, and decided to give it a shot. I didn't have high hopes because I had been reading about it's possible shared timer with the other rare-elites, but why not try?
I started looking for it at around 4:40am CST/server time, directly east of the Engine, where everyone had said it spawns. I made a couple runs back and forth across the zone while debating if I should go to sleep or not. I decided to do one more run "just in case", especially since 5am was approaching and I've had luck with spawns on the hour in the past.
Sure enough, my target macro got him the instant he popped up, at coords 44, 58 - about 60 yards in the air. He spawned at exactly 5:05am server time. I know this for a fact because I was hovering in the spawn area since 5:00am.
Good luck mount hunters, don't give up.

It's surprising all these GMs are handing all this info out. They shouldn't be saying anything except it's a random spawn and can spawn at random times.
Either way, I am also looking for the mount and did my usual rounds of flying through the zone. This time, I decided to go to some of the "weirder" spots where there was only maybe 1-2 people who saw it there. Nothing. I then go back to the wyrm fields, hit my macro and bam, I see him! Then someone tags him JUST before me and kills it. This is around the Blue drakes. I can't believe my luck. Had I not tried the other areas I would have had him. This was exactly at 9:05am.
So I suppose this *could* follow that GMs saying of "Check when others are sleeping" comment. Although, he may have said that just because it would be less people around. On my server as far as I know, all the drakes have spawned between 11pm to 10am. Nothing during the day. GL!

Ok, how about that. These two questions have been eating my mind since I hit 80 (wednesday) and started hunting this bad boy.
The macro seems to tell if the item has been looted since last reset (tuesday morning for me).
We are now Monday morning, and the macro still returns "retrieving information".
One people said that it HAS TO spawn at least once a week. Which would mean that in my situation, the elite will spawn in the next 24 hours.
1/ is the above correct?
2/ Is the elite has a chance to despawn if not killed after its 'patrol'? Or will it keep patrolling till it's killed?

Watch Time lost fly around on the ptr :>
Edit:
I wrote this post initialy because I was fed up by two things:
- Having to read through 200 new Comments a day on wowhead alone.
- and 95% of these comments consisted of silly specculations, assumptions and other stuff I would summarise as supersticion (or bull^&*! for that matter).
So I tried to gather everything that was backed up with evidence (read: screenshots) and the following was the result:
We are
slowly
quickly reaching
200
300 Comments, thats a lot to read.
So this will be the
TL;DR Version
with a summary at the end.
Hard Facts
(confirmed by screenshots):
Confirmed sightings of the time-lost proto drake:
Bor's Breath - several times:
Flys from one side to the other, starting from 37/76 going north, leaving the canyon around 30/36
Then either gos south to Frost Hold or north towards Valkyrion
Engine of the Makers - several times:
Coming From Brunhildar
Flying down from Terrace of the makers
Patting around on the ground
Map with all the confirmed locations (originaly posted by NefariousNinja)
http://www.wowhead.com/?maps=67:321660439590459600461520279660380650300650367718373594375578304440291477
Thats all we *know*.
Specculations and assumptions are as follows:
Supossedly shares respawn and/or path/s with
Vyragosa
Supossedly spawns between 6 hours to 3 days, to just once a week.
One spawnpoint might be at 50/52 (Terrace of the makers)
The get-itemid script seems to behave weird. Time-lost was killed today and script is still loading item information.
Debunked specculations:
The 3 rares in this zone share a respawntimer - I have personaly seen Dirkee and Vyragosa being alive, others have too. This does not mean Vyragosa and Timelost dont share a spawn, but it could.
The mob itself
18k HP
Hits fairly weak on cloth
Likes to stay at a distance.
Can teleport behind you (but stays in close-combat range)
If you cant attack and kill via ranged attacks, you might have problems.
Bodypull helps, Pala-Bubble helps to drag the mob towards the ground too (it "stops" spellcasting).
Having an option for slowfalling, like the slowfall-lager might also be VERY helpfull in tagging the mob on time and scoring the kill.
Target-Macro
/tar Dirkee
/tar Vyra
/tar Time
/stopmacro
/tell YOURNAMEHERE > %t <
I personaly used this macro, as it helps with accidentaly targeting something and then freaking out if you loose your target too early to "realize" what you have targeted.
Bottom Line:
If you want this mount, be prepared to spend over 100 hours doing nothing but mindnumbing camping or flying around in circles.
I personaly spent 90 hours camping and a friend made around 20k gold just by selling Herbs on the AH he gathered while flying in circles for the last 3 weeks and he hasnt seen the corpse just one.
Summary:
The drake has its name for a reason. ;)
Edit:
I removed my "victory shot" due to countless whispers ranging from extremly polite and friendly to extremly rude and demanding and simply couldnt stand being spammed on a daily basis.

I don't think it
has to
spawn once a week, it's completely random, but you should indeed think it does.
unless during night , servers have resetted, which happens often lately due to the new patch.
I aksed a GM today if it could intervene with the respawn timers, he sayed he could not awnser that, so I guess it's true.
either way, it's all still luck i guess, I have been haunting, non-stop, only for some fresh air twice and some dinner the whole day today, from 06.45 am this morning till now...nothing, not even one rare, besides the one posted a few reply's earlier.
I'll keep you posted, and NefariousNinja, GJ on that map, tho it seems it hasn't got all points covered...maybe I'll add some later on.
for now it's time to give it a break for me , my macro button is kind of lame atm... :P

So I have been using the server query macro for about 3 days now, I realized that after camping the supposed spawn points for nearly a week and only killing Vyra myself 3 times, I needed to get some actual progress done, so I just set my hearth to K3 in hopes when the macro picks up the item the mob will have spawned.
So my point is this, I have heard and read that the query macro will only pick up the item once it has been looted. If this is true, (it still hasnt popped up though) will this macro not pick up the item once the mob spawns? Only once he dies? If so, it looks like I will have to go back to patrolling for it.

Yes it does, 100% drop.
If someone could put a map together NOT of locations killed, but of locations where he literally SPAWNED on you or saw it spawn, that would be helpful.
And then a seperate map of locations seen. (Or one map with different colors).
Little weirdness. Time-Lost spawned at 9am yesterday, just south of Engine of the Makers. He spawned today at 9am also just south of the Engine of the Makers. (The one I missed barely).

4:00 PM, just saw Vyragosa north of Valkyrie. She must have literally just spawned, as I'd completed one circuit with no rarespawns sighted, and was just starting a second circuit when SilverDragon alerted me of the sighting.
Pulled her down, easily soloed on a 77 hunter. Very disappointed it wasn't TLPD, and definitely feel that they share a spawn timer.
edit: This means I've seen Vyra four times, roughly once a day, since I started camping out here. Of those four times, twice I saw her corpse, and twice I killed her myself. The most common spawn times seem to be in the afternoon on my server, as I saw her twice around 1 PM, and now around 4 PM.
I feel like not only am I terribly unlucky, but my server also is. To have been camping a small area for over a week to no avail is rather maddening, and for it to be Monday with the mount still unlinkable seems a bit odd. Hell, I haven't seen or heard of anyone getting this mount on my server. I'm starting to think the TLPD is bugged on some, considering some servers are up to 4 kills...while others are still at 0.

FYI, a GM can assure you, if you ask it, if the spawn of TLPD is bugged or not, he told me, twice.
going to stop hunting for now, will continue tomorow on Turalyon.
to apply on the question below, as far as I know, he doesn't despawn unless killed, and corps will stay there for aprox 1 hour, unless skinned ofc.
for those who find those maps handy, and maybe to add on the large post above me, I found this :

Does he despawn after some time? Like if not killed within XXX minutes, will he despawn? Or will he hang out till killed?

Been looking for this bitch all week, killed Dirkee once at the NPC a bit north of the engine and seen Vyragosa's corpse.. If the comment earlier is true i should find it in next few days (the comment where GM has said that if it doesnt spawn in a week, its bugged).
Edit: Server cache dont show the mount, so nobody has seen it on the server yet, news to the people that wonder how it works: When a dude sees an item that is not in the cache, the server adds it in the cache and it will be able to be seen with that macro which is posted several times above, and on the top of the page when you press the "LINK" button.)

Does it work like that even after the server restarts? The macro is showing as someone's looted it today and I know someone has recently because the whole reason I'm hunting this thing is I saw a dude in Dal with it today. But after the server restarts will the cache macro go back to saying 'retrieving info' or what ever? Gonna try to get on right as the server restarts in one of the spawns that are known and fly around for a bit and see if I have any luck.

I wanted to put emphasis on hard "facts", not assumptions. I have hunted many rares and often times followed such maps just to discover months later - they where wrong and I wasted loads of my time and efforts.

I've been camping this since Thursday. I got 3 Vyra spawns so far: 1st (Sunday) and 3rd (today, Tuesday) around 46, 60, 2nd time (yesterday, Monday) she was coming from the Abandoned Camp, probably spawned at 27, 55 near Valkyrion. The 1st time she spawned at 7:46 am, 2nd time i killed her at 5:50 am but dunno when she spawned. Tonight I saw her spawning at 2:33 am.
Both the wowhead item link and atlasloot enhanced can't link it by querying the server, so I think the TLPD still has to spawn. Tomorrow night there will be the maintenance, and if it spawns at least once-a-week it should happen before that.
I'd also like to know who's Vyragosa, why she spawns there and why a Time-Lost Proto-Drake can spawn instead. Are they linked somehow lore-speaking? I mean, does Blizz put things randomly? Is there something behind that maybe triggers it? A server got 2 mounts in 20 hours and mine and many others got 0 in 6 days (if server queries don't lie), that's really odd... Also, when I asked a GM, he said "the mob is working correctly", not the spawn. Like if that's something not related to a real multi-rare spawn...
These are just some thoughts, maybe it's just all random and you just need some brainless luck. Dunno what to think. At this point I'd just wanna be sure the min spawn time is 6 hours and max is a week to not miss it tomorrow, cause I won't be able to continue this insane spawn camping for another week.

well random spawn time is random, I guess.
and eventhough I would love to think there might be a way to influence the spawn of this mob I dont think you can. Just think of vc - I have been in that instance over 9000 times and only saw the rare mob there a couple of times.

Just got mine today....got really lucky, tried for about 2 hours yesterday, nothing. Go up there today at first, nothing, log out, watch Heroes, log back in, hit my /target time macro. BAM, pops up on my screen, i desperately fly around at first hope nobody else is farming, finally see it.
So easy to kill, only 18k HP lvl 80 dragon. Dropped the mount about 30,64.
HOLY CRAP, so cool, just about 78, now i'm going to push to 80 for sure!

Killed Vyragosa today aprox 06:30 gametime at (27,55). She was coming down from the north towards Valkyrion. She was just as easy as any other mob, but stayed in the air and used frost breath. So if your melee you need to get her down somehow. She dropped a blue and and adventures satchel with 16g and 20 cloth. Havent seen Time-Lost yet.

4th Vyra sighting/kill just about 10 minutes ago.
Was following it around to track it's flight path, and had just gotten to the point I followed it to last time when some random troll rogue kills it despite me asking him to wait.
Way to go rogue. :(
So far Vyra seems to spawn on a fairly consistent 6 hour timer. If Time-Lost shares the same spawn, but a lower chance to spawn, I imagine it too would spawn in these intervals.
I'm really just waiting for someone to post that they found Time-Lost and Vyra at the same time, or one of them found in some unusual location. Might actually give us something to work with... :\

Just spent the past 3+ hours flying all around Storm Peaks, spamming /target Time (as well as /target )... nothing. Not a blip, nada.
I read through this whole thread and my hat is off to the people who've put the maps and theories together - I think it's just a matter of time before we crack this mystery.
The only encouraging thing I've seen so far is that, in one of the screenshots of TLPD dead there's a Saronite Node right behind. In my many circles around Storm Peaks, I noticed a Saronite node spawn at exactly the same spot! ZOMG, maybe... maybe this sought-after mob is linked to the bloody Saronite nodes!
Unlikely. Bah. It's late.... :S

Quick questions.
1. Has anyone seen Time-Lost up within like 2 hours of killing Vyragosa or Dirkee (if Dirkee is related anyways). Or even up still while Time-Lost is?
2. Or has anyone seen BOTH Vyragosa up and Dirkee at the same time (or within 2 hours of each other)?
I've seen posts of people saying they've killed Dirkee, then so many hours later Vyragosa spawned, but I don't think I've read a post where both have been up close together.
I've personally killed Dirkee twice, never even see Vyragosa nor her corpse. And missed TL by 10seconds.

Right, after a day of almost non-stop camping I just found him, sadly dead, at 27/55.
That is _just_ north of Valkyrion.
Went an hour off-duty and see what happens. Oh well, one good thing is I now know his approximate possible spawntimer.

I was flying east from the valley connecting Snowdrift Plains and the area north of Grom'arsh Crash Site (The Inventor's Library) when my target macro hit up Vyragosa. She literally popped up on my screen at exactly(ish =P) 40,48 at *exactly* 5:58am (saw the server clock tick over).
I followed her pathing from that point; she flew clockwise in this fashion:
http://www.wowhead.com/?maps=67:400491404528401506404545404565402578400596395609389629383642375652367660358666348664338667331669323673310673300673295667288660283650278638275627273613268596268578269565269555275543279530286518294504301489309481318471327466334454345442352431360421371417382421395434401452402469
I followed here for one and a half pat around when I took her down from a rooftop in Valkyrion. The pathing did not change in Bor's Breath to a different direction, so I felt confident enough to take her down and end the monitoring.

(Re-post from above comment.... interesting though...)
Possible spawn point for
Vyragosa
at 40, 48... but that's the tricky part. If you fly to that spot it is exactly where zones change from "Terrace of the Makers" to "Storm Peaks". It is possible I didn't happen upon a spawn but actually just a zone load point... although I'd like to think it was a spawn =P (The Inventor's Library seems like a good place for a rare to spawn, heh)
If Time-Lost and Vyragosa do indeed share "spawn" and "path" this could be one combination of the two...
Sigh... I'm going to need therapy shortly after (or before) I get this little mother... #@&F#@*YU

Cheers, man!
Awesome show of dedication on putting this info together, thanks!
On another note, there are a couple of things that might be interesting to add as speculation/confirmed.
1
- All of these fly from a range of 40 yrds - roughly 100 yrds from the ground, you shouldn't fly too high or you might miss out.. I usually fly around 50~60 yards above ground to make sure I'm within range to /target above (to around 90 yrds) and below me (to the ground).
2
- I'm not sure what the other rares look like, but Vyragosa is a BLUE proto-drake, looks exactly like all the wyrms flying around near the machine.
I've been hunting this elusive drake for the past 4-5 days now, 5-6 hours at a time.. sometimes more if I feel up to it. Finally found Vyra today very early in the morning (6 AM my time, 3 AM server time), but somebody beat me to her... /sigh. Hopefully nobody will beat me to a rare when it counts...
Good luck everyone.

Vyragosa is NOT a proto-drake! She is a normal looking dragon, looks like a blue version of the ones flying around Wyrmrest Temple, except she is a normal sized mob, she's not huge.

Here's a map of all the coordinates I've recorded for the sightings of the Time-Lost Proto Drake either dead, patrolling, or spawning. These coordinates were found on the comments for both the mob and the reigns.
http://www.wowhead.com/?maps=67:393588362638332664277642351790270700480551400600461600380621360700380650310658281660440590461520321660262568270551500502480510369718379766370761300361500520
Note that some of these coordinates (the ones the drake were found dead at) might be off of the patrolling path because people had to pull them to the top of a mountain or the the floor in order to fight it, so try to focus on the "path" that goes from the Terrace of the Makers, wraps around the Temple of Storms, and reaches into Valkyron.
The spawn locations (from what I've recorded) can be either at Valkyron or the Terrace of the Makers. It is possible that it could spawn near the Tempel of Storms, but judging by the path of coordinates, it would most likely spawn at the end points.
The part that confuses me is the bunch of dots north of K3. Earlier in my research is when I recorded them, so either those are faulty data, past patrolling points that were changed, or another part of the patrolling/spawning points that we need to keep an eye on.

Thats awsome TLPDpreez!
I am going to add that to Vyragosa tomorow if you havent done that yourself.
I just encountered and found Vyragosa one more time flying the exact same path thanks to your help.
If Time-Lost shares this path and according to a lot of sightings that might be reasonable to assume this would explain a lot of the sightings we currently have. Or in other words: We might have the first flight-path out of x.

Well, there are more spawns than just terrace of the makers and Valkyron. I've personally seen it spawn right in the middle of the blue drakes(Engine of the Makers), And numerous posts here said it spawned RIGHT on top of people in Bor's Breath, so that's 4. I don't recall reading anyone seeing it SPAWN in Terrace of the Makers or Valkyron, just the Engine and Bor's Breath.

I don't think people are making the distinction between SPAWNING and LOADING. Sometimes a mob has to LOAD onto your screen after having crossed out of your local graphics cache... and other times you acutally see something spawn....

Even though this seems legitimate, since you've followed the mob around, it's not the only path the mob runs.
I've been looking for Time-Lost today and caught Vyragosa this afternoon when she flew up the frozen waterfall south of Bor's Breath. She came flying from south, so she also has a path from approximately K3 into Bor's Breath to who knows :)
Personally i'm getting the idea that the Time-Lost Protodrake and Vyragosa are not connected in spawnpoints, spawnplace and spawntimers.. Sad to think, since all timed-camping is useless then, but i'm afraid it's gonna turn out to be true :/

There might be a different way we need to start looking at this. Since GMs say he can spawn where ever and when ever and he can just port around, I dont think a actual respawn timer would matter. I think we need to start looking at the times these kills are taking place. If the GM said try when others are sleeping maybe he's meaning only at night. I think it'll be worth a shot to go back and figure this out by taking all the times and finding an average or something along those lines.
I highly doubt he's up for long once he does spawn so maybe we'll come up with something and if we don't oh well.

Some *possible* new information.
Another player who was flying around looking for Mr. Time-Lost told me out of the blue that he had seen Varygosa's corpse at 14.00 servertime. After that I told him that I had seen Time-Lost's corpse around 15.00 servertime, as proven by a screenshot in my previous post.
Now, this player did not provide me a screenshot or anything else as proof, but because he/she told me before I said anything about my information, I tend to believe this is true.
This would break with the - possible - shared spawn timer which has been presumed to occur, even though he reported the dead body found in Bor's Breath, which is on the same path as thought for Mr. Time-Lost.
The speculation this player had is that Varygosa and Time-Lost might share something else in common, for instance, when Varygosa is killed, Time-Lost's spawn trigger starts running.
This is pure speculation though, because we, apart from eachother, found them both in such a short timespan.

Still no spawn for me, I camped from 12 am (Tuesday) to 5 am today (Wednesday, EU servers maintenance) with some hours of real life break ofc, but queries from wowhead link and atlasloot enhanced couldn't retrieve info untill the last second before the shutdown so I didn't miss it. That means the T-LP-D doesn't have to spawn at least once-a-week probably. I camped it the last whole week, asked 3 GMs about spawn bugs and they all told me the spawn was working correctly. I'm just ^&*!in #$%^ed now, and damn unlucky too.

Got mine today 12 hours after server came back up from Maintenance. Its funny it was 3 minutes later from being exactly 12 hours. Makes me think it spawns on a 12 hour timer tbh.
This is the second one on horde on my server. The only other one is my friend/guildie who got his first. I saw the Time-Lost Proto Drake flying around the mountain to the left of the far south edge of Bor's Breath frozen lake. If you can't slow fall/levitate then you're in trouble without a lager cause it flys REALLY high up.
Both of us were the first and second DKs to hit 80 on the server and also the only two with this mount so I'm happy.

I dont believe the Drake is on a 12 hour timer rather that he spawns at random times. This is on hour 13 for my server and still no spawn. Granted I'm on a very slow mount with a high pop. server, so I may have missed it, however the macro for the reins has yet to retrieve the information leaving me to believe that it has not been looted or seen.
I'm going to keep trying every 3-6 hours see what happens.

Well after almost 2 weeks it's finally showing up when querying the server on Blackrock. It didn't half an hour ago when I was there so I guess it spawned sometime within the last half hour. Someone in guild said a Night Elf was spotted sitting on it. I knew I'd miss it with my luck.

Found Vyragosa dead @ 37,69 in Bor's Breath near the waterfall down to K3. Gonna wait for corpse to depop then come back in 6 hours (-30 minutes) and see what I find (or fly around until something pops, aka 6-12 hours). Perhaps I'll update!
By the way, our servers came up at 2pm EST after maint yesterday. I'm assuming server start is like it's time of death. Has anyone found it right after server up or am I right to assume that it's like ToD?

Actually Lalarah
since Vyragosa was found at 6 in my last comment and my server was up around 12, I would guess that after a server reset that we would have to wait 6 hours after its back up to see a spawn
unless if anyone else has any info on seeing a Rare Spawn sometime before 6 hours after a server is back up

Heh yes, it seems this was totally wiped except a few posts.
So I tried using 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");
Macro and it came up with the link 1min after servers came up on tuesday. However if I tried to actually link the item, it wouldn't work. I had a friend also use the macro and he said he was still getting "retrieving info". How come the same macro worked differently?
And also, i know all the posts were deleted, but how did you guys get all these GMs to talk about certain things? I did a ticket, just to see if Maintenance reset timers or if the mob *could* be up at the start and the GM told me nothing. He also said the GMs shouldn't be handing any info out except that it's either bugged or not bugged and to "Look into the skies".

To Techno: 6pm Vyra and 2am Proto = 8 hr spawn, not 6. I've also heard of someone killing Vyra and Time-lost was up 1 hour later so who knows at this point.

In response to qwolzor's post, I can confirm that the spawn timer can be LONGER than a week. I've been querying the server every day for more than a week and only today did the link work (actually showed the mount's info, not just "retrieving item information".
So in conclusion, it took almost 2 (TWO) full weeks for it to spawn on Blackrock. I was searching for it not 30 minutes before a guild member saw a Night Elf with the mount. I then used the server query macro and as I said it was able to be linked whereas before it couldn't.
Two weeks for a spawn. I can see this being one rare mount indeed.

Since my last was deleted I'll post what I know to help.
Confirmed this boss does not share a timer with Dirkee. Most likely does indeed with Vyragosa. I finally got mine today 12 hours and 3 minutes after the server(Dark Iron) had come up from maintenance. This leads me to think that it could be on a 12 hour timer due to it coming up so closely to 12 hours exactly of when the server came up. I found it flying on the bottom south of the mountain to the left of the frozen lake of Bor's Breath. It was flying extremely high.
I recommend you people bring a Snowfall Lager with you if you're searching for this drake unless you can slow fall or levitate otherwise you'll most likely die trying to pull him in a hurry.
This is the second one on the server and my guildie got the first last Weds. Best of luck to you guys. This is indeed a rare drake.

edit: im only doing it for the feeling of my heart skipping a beat when I finally do find him. (DOA) I don't care how long it takes. Im out there right now spamming my macro. Thats what its all about imho.
The GM said I wasn't checking the area "Thoroughly" enough.
Im curious as to what quests the people who did find him have been completed/tracked in the zone.

I have posted this about 12 hours ago but possibly got deleted short after that, though I think it might be new information.
When I was looking for TLPD last night I got in a conversation with someone else also looking for him. He told me, out of the blue, that he had seen Varygosa's corpse at about 2pm server time. After that I told him my information, that I'd seen Time-Lost's corpse at about 3pm server time. (I have posted that discovery in this topic, including a screenshot as proof.)
Now, this other person did not give me any proof of Varygosa's corpse at 2pm, but because he told me straight out of the blue I tend to believe him.
If this is indeed true, the possible assumed shared spawntimer seems to be incorrect.
This person came up with a speculation, which is ofcourse to be questioned but might be something to think about; maybe TLPD and Varygosa share something else in common, for instance, TLPD's spawntimer starts running as soon as Varygosa's been killed.
Something like this would declare the short timespawn of discovering both corpses.

About the server cache script- when you link it to yourself in a whisper and it does not show as a link, does this mean that the mob has not spawned yet? I've also sent the link to friends in whispers with the same thing happening.
Edit: JUST killed Vyragosa. Spawned around 27, 52 and patted to Bor's Breath. Me and two others were chasing after her, but we were all melee so we had to follow her around alot to find a place to make her land. Through Bor's Breath, she flew up and went in between the blue drake fields and Engine of the Makers into Terrace of the Makers, where I killed her at 48, 46. Before I killed her, it looked as if she were heading back towards the area I saw her spawn at, which
could
indicate she makes a circular path. If she and T-L P-D do indeed share spawn timers, it could be possible, as I killed her appx. 6 hours before my guildee did the day before.

Found him this morning at exactly 7:27am at coords 37, 64 over the Abandoned Camp on Eonar U.S. TLPD was heading east out of Bor's Breath towards the Engine of the Makers. I flew into him to aggro him and pulled him to the ground there at the camp, also attracting the attention of the 3 nearby dwarves.
TLPD has 18.9k health, I finished him off quickly and looted my prize and then killed the dwarves. I had just decided to give up on camping him for the morning and as I flew toward K3 to fly back to Dalaran I literally just ran into him. Luckiest day for me in a long time. I spent about a week and a half camping the area for him. Good luck to any of you searching for this, it was well worth the wait. Patience pays off :D

guys, im just imagining.
If this mob have a rare spawn...
Like, in instances when a boss have the possibility to drop a rare mount, it have like a 1% chance.
What i mean with rare spawn, is when you kill a certain mob the Time-Lost Proto-Drake have 1% chance to spawn on his place...
Come on, the mob have 100% drop rare mount, something needs to be extremely rare on it.
Just an idea... if you could consider it a little.

Been searching for this guy for over a week now. Havnt seen him dead or even alive. I dont even think hes spawned yet in my server. Talked to a GM.. asked if the spawn is bugged or something but he said its working fine. But what the hell.. ive come up with about 4k gold in herbs.. waiting for this guy.. soo i guess its ok. The only Proto Drake we have in my server is the Blue one.

My friend found him dead at 20.00, 10 hours after server restart. I searched the place all the day and i gone for a bg at 19.30, so he respawned between 19.30 and 20.00 . 30 mins...i'm a little bit frustrated^^ Here are some screenshots i took, the coords of his dead body are: 33,48

i personally witnessed Vyragosa spawn last night at 9:22 servertime
http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c121/Painweaver/WoWScrnShot_112508_212534.jpg
spawned at bor's fall and then wrapped around bors breath untill alliance rogue killed her here

i wish i could have asked him to wait because if you notice where she is at death, she was starting fly out towards icecrown.

Can spawn rate be somehow related to server population?
I have been looking for it and nothing in about 2 weeks. The cache macro never returned anything else than "retrieving info" which means it has never been downed. No one has it on my server anyways. it's a small server, so just wondering if it's related.
Edit: just killed Vyragosa. was flying above Valkirion and a target popped up when I hit my macro. She s pretty big. I wasn't expecting her to be that
slow
and big. Had a hard time bringing her down (constantly) leaving combat... She was moving counter clock wise around the temple of storms. Anyways:
Saw her 26.56 @ 6:18 PM.
Killed 26.64 @ ~ 6:24 PM.
Despawned @ 6:56 PM.

It has now been 2 weeks since the expansion went live and TLPD has yet to spawn on US-Aegwynn. It is driving me absolutely mad.
I wouldn't even mind if someone else on the server got it. I just want to know it's actually spawning here. The conspiracy theorist in me wonders if some event triggers the spawn (or makes the mob start spawning) that our server just hasn't done yet, or if we're just really unlucky with the RNG picking it to spawn or not.

Right with you on that - Here on Jubei'thos I've been searching lots, not constantly, but the server query for the item doesn't bring back anything (assuming that means it hasn't dropped) - and I would be totally happy if someone else got it at this point, just so that I know it's not actually bugged or anything.

Since yesterday morning I've been searching; not ultimately for the entire time as I went to bed and did other things, but I was out there for at least a full 8 hours.. and I've been checking back throughout the day. I'm waiting on a gm ticket right now myself but sometimes I wonder about them being correct.
I feel bad for those of you who have been searching for 2 weeks to no avail.
I am somewhat confused though, I have the ./script on a macro.. and when I click it, it brings back:
Shift-click this to place a link into the chat message: .
When I click on the link it shows with that message... , since yesterday it says 'Retrieving item information' and never comes back with anything. Does this mean someone has looted it or ? But my fiance is using the same script, and when he clicks it it comes back with the actual link "This is a very fast mount." box. O.o
Thanks for the info; I'll let you all know if the gm comes back with anything relevant.. and good luck to all those of you whom are searching.

I don't see why this comment should be rated down, it is a serious attempt in clearing something up, proposing a possible new theory.

eroginous1
Ok, I just got done reading over all of your comments, and came up with my own theory. If you do the quest chains in storm peaks, you notice that over time, some quests change the appearance of the zone, including which types of mobs spawn in some areas. For instance, before you do the dun niffelem quests there are some elite giants as well as seething revenants in the frostfield lake area. After you do the quests for Dun Niffelem, the mobs in that same area change to dead elite giants as well as Brittle Revenants.
At first I thought this had to do with the time of day you go there, maybe the mobs change for some reason, but I realized after completing the quests for that area that the area itself changes. I am also willing to bet that the area itself is 'instanced' according to your progress in the quest chain, and only other players that are at the same point can see go into that area and see it the same way you do. This might sound crazy, but I never had any encounters with other players except for the ones on the same quest as me in that area. Some how the game phases out everything except for the relevant mobs to your quest, and also changes the appearance of the area to match.
What does that have to do with the TLPD? Some servers have reported not seeing him once, some players have reported spending a whole week flying around looking for him. Some have opened tickets asking if he is bugged. Some have also reported seeing him dead, or killing him at odd times of the day. Blizz already implemented an achievement system that recognizes when a player completes a certain amount of quests in a zone, maybe they also added a couple rare spawns that appear when a player has completed all the quests for the storm peaks. Maybe that is what causes the TLPD to spawn at such a wierd rate. And maybe when it spawns it can be seen and killed by anyone, it just doesn't make it apparent to the person who spawned it so that there is still a chance that person won't get it.
All of this may be pure speculation, but it kinda supports the oddness of this NPC. I dunno, I will have to see some more info on the mob before I can figure this out any better.
I just reviewed my own achievements, and I remembered back to something. There is an achievement for completing 75 quests in grizzly hills. I got it one day, and shortly afterward, someone close by whispered me asking me if I wanted to help kill a rare spawn. I said sure, and of course we killed him easy, getting the Northern Exposure achievement. Now, I have also checked my achievements for the Storm Peaks, and I am 3 quests short of completing 100 in that zone. It is very possible that upon completion of those 3 quests and getting the 100 quests accomplished, earning the Summit of Storm Peaks, TLPD could spawn. Not saying this is how it goes, but it is very possible. I am going to test this out within the next few hours. For some reason the rare spawn (can't remember his name, bear looking guy) in grizzly hills spawned shortly after I completed 75 quests, near the area I was at the time. This is either just coincidence or the formula for bagging all the rare spawns in northrend. I will get back to this post if it is true.

The 'instancing' you mention is indeed the new technology called 'phasing'. Simply put, it changes the appearance of the world depending on different criteria, and for this case, quests. It can also depend on other things, one of which is spirit walking when you're dead. The technology has been in WoW since launch, they've not used it that much yet for quests. The Death Knight quests and the Wrath Gate stuff feature probably the most prominant use of phasing.

Posting this off because I finally, after a long time of trying to get him, tagged him while absentmindedly flying around his alleged pat areas and not really paying attention until I saw this big golden dragon below me. I didn't think I would even see the thing because I ended up leaving earlier to do like, 4 heroics in a row so I didn't think the allotted time would be on my side. Considering there was, to my knowledge, 4 Protodrakes on Horde side all ready(before I got mine) and atleast 2 that I know of on Alliance, I didn't think from the day of release on up that there would be anymore since a lot of the comments on this board say stuff about not even seeing the thing and his time frame being a little ridiculous...but on my server (Blackwater Raiders) there are quite a few now, mine included.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v224/Illithlith/WoWScrnShot_112708_091922.jpg
I about died(Not,not because of the drake, he hits really...well, softly), but anyway...onto some information that might help, might not.
That morning, and the reason I decided to camp him most of the day was I was flying around really early (7am Est I think) doing the Sons of Hodir quests. I would pass through the area, back and forth and while doing one of the quests, a friend of mine messaged me kinda guessing I was out there also for the drake. I decided to just check it out since he reminded me, and then my macro struck gold...but it was dead gold. I flew up to where the body was (in the valley with all the blue drakes, respectively) and the killer was still there. He had killed it around 8am PST so, I decided to come back in 6 hours and see if I could get him. I wasn't expecting him to spawn so soon, but stuck around when I came back at 2:30pm EST that afternoon and stayed till about 8:30 EST and then decided to finally get out and do something before I went stir crazy.
After all the runs, I decided to fly around a little bit before going to sleep...I was there for probably 30-40 minutes maybe, and was flying over Bor's Breath I think its called, way down with the harpies, and happened to look down and there it was. I killed him at 1:45AM I believe and I JUST flew through this area a little bit ago, so he must have spawned maybe a little bit before. I can only assume he spawned at the end of the stream, and was just coming up when I snagged him (he was a little ways up at the end, on the edge of a waterfall). Coordinates are on the bottom of the map, and the area, well, is circled. I did use a macro (/tar Time) and spammed it frequently,but when I caught him, like I said, I wasn't even paying attention. He was just there.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v224/Illithlith/WoWScrnShot_112708_091944.jpg
Much luck to people still trying to get him, I hope the information I provided helps somewhat-and honestly, he just kinda pops up out of nowhere when you least expect it. Its pretty crazy. Also, I did not see either of the other rares...so they could have been up-but I never saw them so I can't tell you anything about the shared spawn times or whatever if its true; but I never even saw any bodies.
Either way, good luck and take care.

While your speculation is well thought out -- it is also wrong, and I wanted to set the record straight before anyone wastes more time they could be farming him doing quests.
The night my boyfriend hit 77 he found and killed the TLPD. We've only completed three zones thus far: Borean, Fjord, and Sholazar.
So it has nothing to do with the phasing of Storm Peaks.

After 4 days of checking the zone i managed to get mine today in the early morning.
It was flying around 60yr from the ground, above Valkyrian (i think that's the name). I saw him flying and was able to drag him to close by ground.
Killing itself was preety easy even tho i'm resto.
It was killed @ 28,58.

Bleh, so I have been camping this bastard for well over a week now, spamming the macro to link the item every day. Nothing came up until yesterday morning when I logged on, and the item link worked. So I assumed he either was still spawned or died during the night. I flew around and 2 friends helped, but to no avail. So it looks like only one has spawned on my server, and it must have spawned and died while I was asleep. Sucks, but that seems to be how things work.
During these times, I killed Vyra 3x and saw her dead once, this was the first time I am sure the Time-Lost actually spawned. So there is some hope for me to hold onto!
My usual camp spots are over Valkyrion, Bor's Breath and Foot Steppe's, where the drakes fly around. I have killed Vyra 2x in Bor's Breath, saw her dead there once, and killed her another time in Valkyrion. I know this isnt new information, just thought I'd share.

Keep at it guys! He's out there and if he can spawn on the lamest of the lame servers (Shattered Halls) then he can spawn for you!
I found him along (what is now probably) his patrol route, heading northweast out of the chasm just south of the Temple of Storms.

Yeah, I also hit 100 quests in storm peaks, but nothing happened when I did. However, there are still a few quests left for me to complete, and I really do think TLPD is a triggered spawn from someone completing a certain quest or chain of quests. TLPD could be spawned by anyone and other players could still have the chance to kill it, which is why I started thinking about it being a phasing thing. How many players on a server have completed all the quests in storm peaks by now? Not many. I wouldn't put it past blizz to put a nice mount that drops from an NPC with 100% drop rate, and then make it so the NPC only shows up when you meet a certain criteria in the game. ZA bear mount anyone?
Not to mention the fact that there are so many diff quest hubs in storm peaks and they are all over the place, even with quest helper it is very difficult to get them all. I would love to be wrong and just happen to see him flying around and bag him, but I think it has nothing to do with random spawn times. Logarth on my server downed one of the other rare spawns on Sunday night, and it was shortly after completing the 100 quests achievement. Same with when I got mine in Grizzly hills, a rare spawn showed up shortly afterward, and another player spotted it and invited me to kill it.

I got this yesterday on the Burning Blade server. I found the Proto-Drake in the center, near the Engine of the Makers. I had previously found Vyragosa once before and Dirkee twice, previously before finding this proto-drake.
I'm 99% sure that this shares a spawn with Vyragosa. They both have the same movement path. The Time-Lost Proto-Drake just has a very low chance of spawning instead of Vyragosa every time Vyragosa spawns. This explains for the explanation that some GMs have given, in that the spawn could be anywhere from hours up to days.

its body despawns after about 30mins. so it was killed at about 6:32pm ST on jubei'thos
this is the first time its spawned since tuesday, but not completely sure if the server had a reset earlier this morning. ill keep trying, i just have to have this mount.
if your camping this on Jubei'thos Pst either Nemuis or Wru.. we are there all the time, if u need someone to talk to while ur going mad looking for it...

been searching for 6 days now, pretty pathetic, I know. Saw vyragosa's corpse for the first time at 26.51 at 06:14 guessing she spawned at 06:05. Corpse stayed there for 30 minutes before despawning. Still haven't seen tlpd yet losing hope. Will update if I find anything new.
update: at exactly 12:05 i heard the sound that the proto drakes make in combat, repeated 4 times. it seemed like it was one of those zone-wide "im a world boss, i just spaawned, come kill me" things. and i was going apesh*t cuz this was exactly 6 hours after vyragosa was killed.. 20 minutes of searching i still find nothing. i dont know if tlpd has an audible spawn notification but if she does, this is it.
whats gonna really !@#$ me off is some guys gonna waltz in and be like "oh hey a rare, im gonna kill it" and get the mount without even waiting or hunting, but what can i do.

Just got it at a somewhat new location. My macro targeted it at around 45,55, but before I could make visual contact, it moved out of targeting range. I flew around frantically and eventually found it at 38,83, having just flown south out of Bor's Fall.
This information's not worth much, but this was at 7:40pm. I'd seen Vyragosa spawn at 1:34am and 11:30am the same day.

Huh I decided to post, while I'm still sane and can communicate with other ppl. I'll post my expiriance with this drake, since I spent around 120-140hours farming for him so far, and I seen vyragossa like 10times, killed her ~5times, once saw dirkee
and then come famouse, time-lost proto drake, drake that I'll dreem for weeks for sure
First time, after roughly 35-36hours of non-sleeping I went to eat something before I go to sleep, and then after I come back, just as I press my macro for first time, drake pops up, with 3% hp, and some elf warrior killing him, who later even said "I wasn't looking for drake, but he attacked me while I was mining, so I had to defend my self"
2nd time I see the drake, was after ~18-19hours of grinding (in row ofc, before that was like 8hours of sleep, and ~20ish hours of grinding before, but nothing) and guess what, just before drake spawned, I decided to inceese my fishing skill, as I go to do that, and come back from Dalanar, I fly a bit, and after ~15sec of Searching drake pops up with ~50% hp left, I rush to him, thinking silently that I might still have a chance if I gank up that guy, but then, I notice it's orc hunter, and since I'm troll, I can't gank him....
3rd time
After 8-9hours of farming, I tough I missed some spawn of vyragossa or something, since no any rare for long (I made few friends while farming, who are doing it together with me, so they told me no any rare for 3-4hours before I logged in as well)
So I decided to chill out a bit, and go to play DOTA (warcraft III scenario map) in lan with friends, and after Dota I just came by, to check if maybe anything spawned, and then just as I logged in, these friends who were I hunting with, told me that some guy, druid lvl 77 found drake by random, just about 5-10min after I logged out
4th Time
It was today, around 14:30
I was farming for 3-4hours, and day before for ~20, and then, just as my boss (I'm working as system administrator and regular worker in netcafe) came to pickup the money, and I just go to locker to take it, and I stay to speak something with him for around ~3min
and just as I sit infont of computer
I see general chat "ROFL OMFG I'M FIRST TIME QUESTING HERE AND SOME DRAKE ATTACKED ME WHILE I WAS ABOUT TO FLY AWAY ON MY MOUNT, I GOT DAZED AND AFTER I KILLED HIM I GOT MOUNT! CAN'T WAIT TILL I GET 80 TO RIDE IT" I tough he's joking @ my bill, since I'm spamming general chat all the time, that I'm paying 10-15k gold for location of alive proto drake, and I go to trade him, to check, since I'm already flying by that location, and my macro gets target again, then I see rogue who was happy like little monkey, trading me drake....
To conclude this, I'll either loose my mind or get this drake (or maybe both) since this is like gamble, as more time as I'm investing (in this case loosing) it's harded to give up, since what would be my feeling like if I quit after 120-140hours of farming? but maybe I spend 300more, who knows......
Screen shots comming soon (of all these proto drake corps, for cords)

Is it only me that have noticed that only ppl from US have got the drop and have a spawn timer on 6 hours-3 days, where my server in EU and many more ppl from EU's never ever had even one of the drakes spawn at all. EU is bugged? Can anyone prove me wrong?

Could someone please make a large compilation of screenshots of Time Lost proto drake only? you cant pull it far from where its flying without leashing it so the path created by that would be best. A map can be made with every screenshot out there and with this one disregard the posted locations etc to kill any false locations if any out there.
If no one else will I will eventually but that will be after I get it or when I go insane looking for it. Im on the smolderthorn server and ive been here the last 3 days, probably at the computer looking at least 40 of those hours with no sign at all. The server cache thing shows it as not being discovered but it is on our server(I was told it goes by the resets on tuedsays or something).
Anyways this would be the most helpful map out there if someone creates it and provides all the screenshots used. I have made a path in my head that i search on but have had no luck at all, not even seeing a corpse. Also if you kill it or find a corpse always take a screenshot and help the community out. I think the exact spawn timers may take a few more weeks to figure out though, or if it has any association with vyra(on this server vyra has spawned 3x in that span all within 23-25hrs of each other)

Right, after around 10 days of camping (from which 7 were nearly non-stop) me and my hunting partner finally found him flying around in Bor's Breath at 17:56 server time on Stormscale-EU.
Funnily enough, the day earlier my mother said to me jokingly: "The drake will spawn tomorrow, now get some sleep."
How she knew what I was doing is a mystery, but...she was right...

I wanted to ask: has anyone heard a zone-wide sound like a proto drake fighting right before they found TLPD or her corpse? I'e heard the sound, yet the mount isnt in the server cache, nor have I been able to find her yet, but I'm beginning the think this is an audible notification that she has spawned.... I have heard the sound twice now over the period of the 7 days i have been searching for her and each time it has been 6 hours after vyragosa has been killed.

2:12 am, Vyragosa killed at 37,70 in Bor's Edge coming from the South and heading North. This is gonna help me so much in my farming, as long as the TLPD and her have about the same pat.
评论来自
Grock
A friend killed Vyragosa at 3:08 server in Bor's, and I spotted her an hour later over Brunnhildar.
Next spawn was 8 hours later at 12:08, north of Valkyrion. Make of that what you will, I suppose.

It could of been what I heard in SnowDrift Plains the other day. It could of been but I thought it was my mount as it sounded similar to a cat roaring. But hasn't done it since. also I killed Vyra at Bor's Breath at 1:04pm cst. And haven't seen a rare since. So far I've been camping 3days with me and gf taking shifts going clockwise and counter clockwise around the crash site all the way around temple of storms to bor's fall and abandoned camp back to the Engine of the Makers. Still no sign of the proto drake. Should we be pathing some where else like Terrace of the Makers? it is now 2:25am cst and still no sign of it. It could of been killed recently or not of spawned yet. Yesterday we waited 10hrs after we killed Vrya and nothing.
评论来自
Grock
My friend and I were as surprised as you were that it only took an hour. After he had killed her the first time, we went patrolling around every hour after his kill, and I found it on our first sweep. The exact time he killed her is foggy at this point, as the hours have blended together, but the things we know for a dead fact is that I killed her exactly one hour after he did, and I found her dead at 12:08am server.

Just had Vyra on me at 9 pm server time. Stayed till 10, and TLPD havent spawned. Gonna try to see if times has anything to do with it. Thought it was quite interesting that she spawned at exactly 9 PM.
She spawned in the middle of all the blue proto-drakes.
- no spawn of either one at 12 pm, or at 15 pm.
that makes it now more than 6 hours since vyra was killed this morning.
So they might be linked, but i dont think they spawn round the clock :/
- Updating when i know more.

So if Vyra spawns in the middle of the Stormpeak Wyrms. Maybe the Time-lost Proto-drake spawns near there or mabye in Valkyrion since theres drakes there that look similar to it.

ok i was flying around the spawn point since last night 9pm EST.
and saw a TLPD at 1:44PM..but it was dead...i flyed opposite side QQ
which means it should be respawned around 1:40~1:43
anyway my point is that i've checked time and zone in 6hours and 14hours later TLPD got killed.
and I saw a Vyra respawned exactly 14hours later TLPD got killed
I saw Vyra two times so far
both time vyra spawned at 45,59
and TLPD was killed at 28:43 ( maybe new respawn point?)
so it maybe drakes r randomly respawn proc after one dies?
(like item drop rate %... could be drake respawn rate%) just wonder...

Or it could also be bugged like it is currently on US-Smolderthorn (Although we have 6+ on the server). Did a GM ticket and as of Tuesday's Maintenance it is not spawning on this server.
评论来自
Vezzarn
Yes, but I've also seen posts on here that say people have killed him around Ulduar.
And as GMs have said, he can teleport to his favorite locations, so I'm guessing when he gets done patting, he ports to a different area, which leads me to the zone-wide noise. Could it be that he makes the noise when he ports to a new area? And what are the brown circles on the ground everywhere? I've noticed that they seem to be in areas frequently reported to be spawn points and pat beginnings. Anybody else have any theories regarding the roar or ports?
评论来自
darkbiship
I've been camping him for a good day or so, killed Vyr twice, and still no sign. Based on the shared spawn timers theory, he should be spawning in about 20 minutes. He's still not in the cache, so he hasn't spawned since last tuesday. Wish me luck.
Has any one found one on Proudmoore yet?

I definitely heard a sound of a dragon while on my mount so I flew to 34, 65 and found Vyragosa. I can confirm that you do hear a noise when a rare is spawned. Still no sign of Time Lost on Magtheridon this week as the item is not in the server.

I just heard a roar too on my server
however i have not been able to track one of the rare spawns down not even there dead bodies
on the normal route where there usually are so mabye theres still a pat out there we don't know of.
i almost got a hart attack when i heard it ><
edit - vyragosa just spawned again but there was no area wide roar which i did hear last night. so it must have been something else.
the spawn timers seem irregular as well there either over 6 hours or sometimes less.

Been looking for well about 5 days now. The 3 first closely 24 hours each day. and the last 2 i leveled, though checked once in a while, location and link, no drake or item found. Continuing the hunt, as i want this for christmas present (;
-Yuizul, Shattered Hand (stay away from my drake q:)
Too all other drake hunters.. My classmate found the drake, and discovered a new path.
The drake heads north from bor's breath (the lake) and clockwise around the Temple of Storms.
Crossing a lowtide mountain just beside crash site, and keeps going past engine of the makers, to bor's breath, rinse and repeat.
He said there were only 2 possible pull points on this route, 1 was at crash site
EDIT: Found Vyragosa on day 2 in the morning. No sightings otherwise... YET...
Btw.. Am i the only one starting to see yellow stormpeak Wyrms? ><

We've never seen him spawn as of yet, but because of the reported death locations, you can build a decent path that you can camp where it's highly likely he will run into you (If he has spawned)

Are we sure that TLPD ONLY spawns around Temple of Storms and Engine of Makers? Has anyone ever considered checking the Northeastern and Eastern areas? Considering a gm said the drake could "teleport" to places he likes, who's to say he can go way off to the East, or up near the Terrace of makers?

He spawns at the blighted pools, all my attacks have /target time and /cast (my spell) so everything i do searches for the time drake, anyways i was in the blighted pools questing and all of a sudden my target switched to it, i saw him above me and after a few seconds he started to pat north, anyways i hope this helps people cause damn this thing is sweet (neon blue mouth is kinda weird).

Anyone else wracking their brains trying to figure this all out? More than likely he is on a random spawn timer.. anywhere from 6 hours to a week, how insane is that? And yet we've read proof that after Vyra was killed, he was found an hour later. I have tested that theory once myself, and never saw him spawn.
Killed Vyra today, she was heading over the mountain from the crash site, over the engine of the makers, past the abandoned camp to bor's breath and she started heading towards valkyrion.. she was pretty high up in the air.. finally found a cliff to kill her at, 33.67. Checked an hour later, no Drake. :(
Seems we have to be out here for a good week or so, checking on and off and flying around for quite a few hours at a time to just bump into him. *sad*
How have you all managed? Found friends to camp the area with you? Listened to music? Just would like some tips and suggestions.

As a rogue how are you supposed to bring her down to the ground for close range? I have seen Vyragosa twice now and both times I couldn't kill it and lost out to a range player
I'm hoping you don't have to wait for her to get close to a bump in the ground or something?
Fyi here are the times and locs I found her on Daggerspine EU
Fri at 12pm - 40,65 heading south
Sun at 11:05am - 27,58 heading south
In terms of camping (in circles) so far Fri 20hrs, Sat 14hrs and today so far 2hours

well i finally got it:) it spawned at about 830am server time of course. it spawned to the South of Valkyrion Village, and at the Start of the River right above the waterfall. It seemed to just come out of nowhere so perhaps its an actual spawn location or i got there late, either way if I did get there late it would have patted from Snowdrift plains and then continue south between Temple of storms and Valkyrion village. I'd say fly at about 40 to 60 ft above the ground and i would still look everywhere. Ammit of Dalvengyr "For the Horde"

I just got the mount...I was in the far north next to the halls of lightning and i saw it. I was flying just below the top of the tower.I believe that it spawned @ the halls of lightning because I was spamming my macro (/target time-lost) with no luck, then it appeared right in front of me and i followed it to try to find out what it's flight path was. It began to pat around to the west then over the harpies heading toward the engine of the makers. Thats where i tagged it. I am a ret pally so i have no ranged abilities but all i had to do was fly up to it to aggro and then fly to the ground and it followed me.
There is only one other person on my server that has this mount and he said that he got it 5 days before i got mine. So I am guessing that it is on the same spawn timer as the other rare elites in this zone but it has a low % chance to spawn. Hopefully you guys can find this a little helpful.
edit* In response to activa's post..Like i said i saw it @ the halls of lightning it was flying due west. It began to turn south upon reaching the snowdrift plains and continued SW over valkyrion. Once it started approaching the frozen river it turned east flying toward the temple of storms & the engine of the makers. well i assume that was where it was headed but i am not sure b/c i tagged it well before it got there. I hope this cleares it up for you.

So as i read thottbott this hordie from the same server kills it 8.3 days ago, and now tonight. Been on the look out for a few days now and got nothing. Keep a look out around the Makers area since that place is where this thing has been killed most of the time. GL to you all

To hopefully clear up some confusion about shared respawn timers, I went searching several days ago and found Dirkee on the southwest side of Engine of the Makers.
After killing him, above the valley near Bor's Breath was Vyragosa's corpse. This must mean Dirkee is on his own respawn timer?

Yeah, I was wondering about that too. Are we really, really certain that there is a roar? I've heard a roar a few times now but it was always kinda close to the blue proto-drakes near the Engine of the Makers, so it was probably them.
All those people who heard the roar, are you certain there were no proto-drakes in the area?
Because if there really is a roar it would make the whole hunt a little easier, you'd just have to wait till you hear the roar and only then look like a madman all over the Stormpeaks/his routes.

There is definitely a zone-wide roar.
I hear it no matter where I'm at, and I have surround sound, so I can tell if it would be impacted by distance/direction (IE coming from a nearby mob), and it's not at all, it remains constant throughout. Although it happened for two or three hours straight yesterday and I'm not sure a dragon would have lasted that long up, so Idk for sure if it's tied to the rares.
Also, I do not believe Dirkee shares a spawn timer with the dragons, it wouldn't make much sense. But who knows, sometimes blizzard doesn't either :P

I can verify that you can only see players that are at the same 'quest level', just handed in a few quests and saw players dissapear... I'm now at 99/100 of "The Summit of Storm Peaks", I'll make a lap after hitting it...
edit: didn't see TLPD after hitting 100/100... I've been talking to a GM after seeing mobs despawn as soon as I changed area due to the 'phasing technology'... I got told that it has absolutely nothing to do with your chances of finding TLPD, it's the same for everyone... either 0 quests or 100 quests done...

If it's really tied to the server cache and that is cleared every tuesday no one on my server found it, at least not this week. On a pretty unstable server though, went offline for a few secs two consecutive times today and it's usualy prone to lag, so not sure how reliable it is. I'm actually looking forward to it turning ... active. Even if that'd mean someone else got it, it would at least confirm that it's not bugged or something. I've been looking for a few hours yesterday and haven't seen anything, no Vyragosa, no Dirkee, not TLPD, not even a corpse.

Ok, so I have kind of an important question that I don't see anything about in the comments yet. Is he soloable? Yes, based on class? Or no?
Could I solo him on my 80 Frost Mage? What about my 80 Blood DK?

Someone out there has to have a RL GM friend that can leak some info out for us. This mob is ridiculous when it doesnt want to spawn, my server is at 5 days with no sight of it, plenty vyragosa and dirkee

You and the previous 3 posters all found the Proto-Drake at approximate the same time, give or take an hour...
This may sound insane, but could the Time-Lost
spawn at the same time on multiple servers?

Yep I heard that same cats roar on my ebon blade mount in snowdrift plains. I think its a bug unless the proto drake is part cat lol. What would really up is a sure spawn point to camp. Still no sign of Time lost or Vyra.

The spawn rate for Vyragosa and the other rares seem to be extremely variable, after reading a lot of the posts here. Some people say they found a spawn an hour after it was previously killed, yet others say that nothing spawned in 24 hours.
I think the way that the rare spawns work is that every hour, they have a X% chance of spawning. Let's say that every hour, Vyragosa has a 10% chance of spawning, for example. This means that after 10 hours, Vyragosa should be seen at least once. Of course, in real practice, this does not happen. You could go an eternity without a Vyragosa spawn or Vyragosa could spawn 5 times in a 5 hour period.
Perhaps this explains how we are unable to determine an exact respawn rate for the rares.
To continue further, the Proto-Drake probably works in one of the two ways:
1) Every time Vyragosa spawns, the Proto-Drake has a X% chance to spawn instead of Vyragosa.
2) The Proto-Drake is a rare spawn that is a separate rare spawn than Vyragosa, however every hour it just has a much lower percent chance of spawning. If this is true, EVENTUALLY someone should see Vyragosa and the Time-Lost Proto-Drake alive at the same time.

The Roar is from a quest, a guy mounts up on a similar drake, part of a long quest chain, it roars when he jumps on because it is unfamiliar to its master or something like that.

Is anyone able to confirm/deny if he's only in the 'instanced/phased' version of Storm Peaks? Because I haven't done any quests in Storm Peaks but I'm still trying to aim to find him, and I'd love to know if I'm currently wasting my time or not. So far I haven't seen him or even his corpse anywhere.

Vyragosa is 12-24 hour spawn just like all the other rare world spawns. TLPD is not under the same category however relation to the vyra spawn is possible.

So supposedly there are four spawn points. In looking around the areas you all have posted, and have doing every single quest in this zone, I am curious as to if these nodes are a spawn point.
Picture of a possible spawn point-node
There are four spots marked. One at the Stormpeak Wyrm area next to the Engine of the Makers, one is by Ulduar, another East of Dun Niffelem and one at the Terrace of the Makers.
Map of node locations
I have no idea what these spots are for, even after doing every quest I've had my hands on.
评论来自
wobo
Ill give credit for the idea, I have been curious what those pads were for as well. However, no picture proof has been linked thus far with corpses near some of those areas(Primarily Ulduar which should be a common populated area, was seen across from Ulduar but thats part of his pathing. No one has a screeny or info anywhere close to Dun Niffelem) Very few have mentioned terrace of the makers but I think they meant close to it(engine area), correct me if im wrong though. Does anyone know what use these pads have besides possibly this if any? I have done all the horde quests and can confirm its not for any of them.
Theres also another one of these not on your map NW of Taunkalo
last edit: what vezzarn said, they are. I just realized ive spawned at some of these locations

Somebody on here said that they were simply graveyard locations, which makes sense since I died fighting Dirkee and was brought to one of the nodes that's above Bor's Breath (roughly 32.67)

Rather glad they are. It cuts back on my overall patrol area ;)
This mount hunt is killing me... After about 20 hours of patrolling, not all at once though, I have only seen Vyrangosa and Dirkee both once. Never TLPD and never soon enough to manage a single kill.

An actual screenshot of this information that the GM gave you and I'll believe it. They aren't supposed to give out any hints whatsoever. But hey if you have the SS. :)
Can anyone tell me what this roar sounds like? I don't think I've ever heard it out there. Is it pretty noticeable?

Yeah, please please give us a screenshot. It would be awesome if that information was true/correct.
Also, again concerning the roar - does anyone know which... "sound-channel" it uses? During my "waiting for TLPD" sessions I have turned down the music, turned up Sound to the max and set Ambience to bout 50%, so I hear the roar loud and clear if it comes. If it uses Sound I can also turn Ambience completely down, one less distraction.

I've yet to see the mob at all, but have seen one person on my server so far with the mount. Guess I'm just going to have to keep my eyes open for him in the future.
Also, just an idea, but does anyone else think that maybe this is a vague reference to Blizzard's "The Lost Vikings" series?
(For those that don't know, the games were about vikings that kept getting sent all over time, and in the second game there was a dragon named Scorch that joined up with them. So time travel misadventures = dragon lost in a different time period = Time Lost Drake?)

So after about 15+ hours of camping prior to today, I finally got my mount at around 8:20 am server time (skullcrusher) . After I finished the brunhildar daily's, I decided to log on wowhead and read some of the updates on this drake. Since I had just finished revamping my whole UI, I had lost the Time-Lost macro. I wasn't even planning on camping at all this morning. But after reading some of the updates I figured I would camp for a couple mins before logging for bed. After creating a super simple macro (/tar time) I spammed aimlessly, however not 20 seconds later the macro selected the golden drake @ 27,64 heading north towards Valkyrion, around 60 yards in the air. I wasted no time.

I'd been stalking the Time-Lost Proto-Drake for over a week; I had ran into two others who were also doing it and the three of us created a channel so we could talk privately without having to let others in General chat know about the Drake, and thus less competition. We had found Vyragosa twice between the three of us the whole time and circled the supposed pat areas.
I was hanging north of Valkyrion near the dig site when I turned and noticed the Drake. I would like to take a leap and say that (if it hasn't been said already) that the Drake has a spawn point at around 27,55 or so as it was flying towards Valkyrion and I had just come from that direction not too long ago.
Please don't be discouraged folks and keep on trucking!
Here is a screenshot (albeit small, I'm sorry!) of where I killed it:

So these are directional patterns i've seen in the posts here (the two eastern most arrows being mentioned only once, so maybe wrong). The blue dot is the one spot I have seen Vyragosa.
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g134/Knight0fTheDead/sp.jpg
The two paths I have marked here seem to be obvious as many people have confirmed them and have screenshots along these paths.
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g134/Knight0fTheDead/sp2.jpg
It has also been confirmed that Vyragosa patrols the same southern route so it is likely that they share patrol paths, but possibly only that one.
The questions are where is the third patrol, and where does the TLPD actually spawn? It has been said that he also goes into/spawns in Ulduar. If anyone has additional info please post screenshots and tell us which way the TLPD was headed when you found him. I'll update the map with confirmed spots in the future.

just got a response to my ticket, asking if the TLPD was bugged on my server, because I had heard of a few incidents on over servers where that had been the case (few posts here).
Weird thing was, I waited for bout 2 hours, then got the response by ingame mail, stating that (rough translation, was in german) "according to your request we did not contact you while you were ingame." uhm... 1. I was ingame the whole time 2. I did not request this... but.. whatever, I got my answer, that's important.
The GM said that there were no problems _anymore_ (keine Probleme mehr) with this npc and that the dragon was supposed to be very rare (uhm yeah, already knew that). Not sure if it actually _is_ important, but I'll run with it. ^^ If I go by that there were problems, but well, not anymore.... let's hope that's the case.
Guess it's better to wait for days, at least knowing that he should/could spawn any time, rather than wait for days when there's zero chance of him spawning due to a bug.

It's been 2 weeks, and still no sight of TLPD, not even a corpse... 2 Vyragosa sightings, one where I killed her. I've heard the roar before but I had figured it had to do with the Broodmother quest. A SS confirmation on the post in which they said it is the TLPD spawning would be fantastic. A GM told me that the spawn on my server was not bugged, and I've tried to query the server for it all week. I'm not sure if I am reading this correctly, but when I try to link the reigns in chat/whisper, it doesn't work and I'm not sure if that means he hasn't been looted for the week or what. I'm curious as to know what timeframes he spawns the most in. It seems to be very early morning to late at night.

If you try to link the reins in chat/whisper and it doesn't work, it is because no one has looted the reins, which means it most likely has not spawned yet. No one is at all sure of when it spawns or what points exactly. It is very sporatic and thus why it is more than likely the reason that the reins drop 100% of the time since it is not necessarily campable.
I killed it this morning at 10:07am, cst.

What size is your server?
I'm in the same situation - not a single spawn (no response from script which I use several times a day) in more than 2 weeks now. My theory is that it clearly has a chance to spawn every hour. But that chance to spawn is related to server population. I found a lot of people in the same situation (no spawn ever yet) to belong to low pop server.
My bet is that it's the same for most rare elites. Seen/killed vyragosa once. so far.

I've been tracking the Drakes for a few days, have 3 kills on the blue drake and 2 on the gnome.
I have ticketed a Gm and they have said Phasing doesn't effect this mob or its patrol. (something i had suspected might had been causing the spawn timer to be longer due to not being able to see it)
There are two reports of spotting it around Halls of lightning, and Ulduar Can anyone confirm this with a screen shot of a corpse, or either mob flying around and a rough idea of what Height these mobs Patrol at.
I've found the Brood mothers Nest is the best place to Idle at between pats between the 3 known paths the mob takes trying to follow the other direction the mob takes each time.
So does anyone know if they travel the same direction on those paths every time, or they can spawn to go the other direction on the same path?
Good luck in every ones Hunts, i hope to have mine before i go insane.

Ok, i talked to a GM. And this is what he told me...
GM: You will need to wait for a long peroid of time in a row, becouse this mob has a long respawn time ( it is rare )
ME: Yes i know thats its rare and spawn time is ages. But im camping the spots for 1 week almost 8 hours aday. Is making me mad.
GM: Indeed, but if you spend 8 hours in a row. you will see it.
ME: You cant give me any info about if he gonna spawn today?
GM:
He spawn everyday, but unfortunately i can't tell you how long his spawn time is.
ME: You cant let is spawn for me now can ya? hehe!
GM: Nope, hehe.
ME: ok thnx for the info, didn't know he would spawn everyday.
GM: You're welcome.
So he spawn everyday BUT the spawn time is so low that its possible he despawns in like 5 min ..I hope this helps ppl.. I haven't seen the mob yet.. But im gonna spend all night and morning without sleep.. flying around hoping i can see him...
PS: if you dont believe me i have Screen shots about the chat with the GM if needed...
评论来自

I still wonder.. Since its been confirmed that the mob despawns if noone sees it, will it despawn after one patrol, or will it take several turns? Also would be nice to know if it swaps between patrols when its up, or if it have 3 spawn points with 3 following patroling paths. I still havent seen a living or a dead one, and actually no Vyragosa either, but server cache tells me it has been killed the last days, so probably just unlucky i guess.

k, update: considering we still go with the "Vyragosa and TLPD share one/more spawnpoints" theory (still no promised screenshot of the GM confirming that all 3 can be up at once....) I'd also say one of the spawn points is probably at about 31, 66, above that small frozen waterfall in Bor's Breath.
I've been waiting on and off for bout 6+ hours in Bor's Breath, the last hour or so at ~34, 66, hoping to get a chance to catch him with the macro at any of the possible routes shown here
http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/7919/671wi0.jpg
I was playing around in prat a bit, spamming the macro all the time when suddenly it caugh...! Vyragosa... -.- damn, but hey, she's the first of the three mobs I've seen in 2 days. Well, she flew in the direction of Valkyrion, turned north, killed her shortly after Valkyrion, but i must have been the brown route in the pic.
Considerung:
- I did not see her spawn in me/in front of me ( I was looking W, from my position pretty much in a straight line towards Brunnhildar)
- and I could hardly have missed her (the prat config window being not too big, me looking around and spamming the macro like a paraonoid monkey all the time and her being a pretty big dragon and all)
- when I targeted her she was at ~ 30, 65 and she was flying westward.
Pretty much only leaves 31, 65 as a spawn point.
She flies a lot slower than the 280% mount, must be about the 60% mentioned a few times already, I easily got ahead of her and attacked her at a rise at 27, 55.
18900HP, had everything out, water elemental, clones, IV, trinket spellpower buff - didn't need all that though, she went down very easily, must have been just a rare, not a rare elite (using xperl so I can't go by the blizzard elite/rare symbols and she was shown as , Rare+ at the portrait, wasn't sure if that meant Rare Elite or Extra Rare.

I'm pretty sure that they share spawn points and routes, or at least part of, though maybe they don't spawn mutually exclusive, that is, one can't spawn when the other is still up.
The paths in the picture below were said to be Vyragosas (someone here, can't remember the posting, sorry) and pretty much all of TLPD's ... "kill spots" were along those routes (some exceptions like Terrace of the Makers or the ones really far in the east, no screenshot of those though so we can't be sure).

Today Dec. 1st she was flying clock wise this time.
Saw her 27;54 @ 4:58 PM.
Killer 27;54 @ 4:59 PM
Despawned @ 5:30 PM
Only times I've seen rare elites in Storms Peak are the 2 times I've killed Vyragosa.
These 2 kills at least show they can either fly one way or the other...

I'm logging off for bed, then ten mins later logging back on 'just to check'..not so good :o
Got Vyragosa twice over the weekend, both at the spawn spots just on the south edge of the Engine of the Makers. Both times just killed him with icy touch and death coil, wasn't so bad, just had to use a health pot both times :)
Still yet to see a TLPD, so unsure where to wait, though I have a nice flight path for hunting sorted :)

Hello TLPD hunters,
(excuse my english, i'm french so it's only english learnt in highschool that i'll use^^ I hope you'll understand everything clearly)
well I got some more informations about that mysterious and legendary proto-drake which is totally lost in time...lol
After a long serie of comments on Judgehype concerning the TLPD somebody broke the glass and told us he was camping the beast since the beta test version and that there was absolutely no true respawn time, that the drake could spawn only 3 times a week and that it could only fly around for 13 minutes before it despawns. He told that it could spawn 2 times in like 4 hours and reswpawn a 3rd time 5 days later.
He also told us it could spawn absolutely EVERYWHERE in the storm peaks. (maybe the same with Vyragosa)
No way of knowing if he says THE truth or if he lies but I believe him for the 13 minutes because if the drake was flying around until death it would be tagged by people much more often and easily.
I believe him for the respawn places too and imo most of people see it near by the engine, bor's breath or burnnhildar because those are places where everybody's doing quests.
But imo it spawns more than 3 times a week according to the fact that a lot of people have already seen it 2 or 3 times on their own in just 1 week.
A last thing: It would be great if those who have seen the drake alive could tell us if they already had finished the 100 different quests in the area or if they didn't. Just to make sure it has nothing to do with the phasing.

Just some random thoughts that probably have no value, but theres a small chance of possibility.
Based off the facts:
WoW is huge.
Thousands have probably looked for proto drake alone.
GMs have said three spawn points.
GMs have stated it can despawn.
I understand that the WoW playerbase is huge and many have spent countless hours looking for this one drake alone. There are 3 spawn spots and he can despawn, according to GMs and proven with screenies. It got me thinking though, what if everyones simply missing it by looking in the wrong place(well one or two of the right places, but not a third), maybe its been found elsewhere just rarely and not reported. Then I thought where in Storm Peaks doesnt the average person go, I came up with two main answers being extremely high in the sky where ya cant even see the ground(no reason for it to be up there unless bugged) and near the cliffs all the way along the northern part of the land. I think its possible but highly unlikely he can spawn and fly along those huge cliffs and despawns because no one is ever there. Im not saying waste countless hours checking it out, but if your for example flying to Dirkee spawn location #3 right below TaunkaLo to check if hes up, fly along the cliff and keep your macros going. If your doing Halls of Lightning or Stone and waiting for someone else, make a quick loop around the island spamming your macro, just simple checks. If hes not hes not, but its better then wasting time.
Once again I highly doubt this, but if it by rare chance did happen to be true and someone found it there that would be HUGE. Like what if it flys the same path every time it spawns until its killed or a tuesday rese/patch. That would make some sense for our current issue. Were so used to camping Bors Fall all the way up to about crash site(well me anyways) we dont really put much effort into other areas. I do think it would have been found on those cliffs by now if it did and it would have been posted here, this games way to huge for a spawn path to go unnoticed in this amount of time.
Anyway, day 6 for me. Vyragosa and Dirkee are probably 6-12 spawns each now(I dont necesarily camp them often) because of there 12-24hr spawn periods. I know I recorded at least 7 vyra 5 dirkee.
Not giving up but definately not passing up on heroics anymore, im way behind from this drake.
By this post you can obviously tell its making me go crazy.

Interesting. The 13minutes timer makes a lot of sense to me even though some people have said he will patrol till he is killed (which I do not believe). The 3 times per week spawn rate makes some sense but I would like to know if it
must and will
spawn 3 times per week or only if
could
, which is entirely different. On a side note, 3 times per week is probably not entirely true as it would more likely be something like 3 times till next server reset, which usually is a week. Although on fresh patches like that, some server are being rebooted a few times per week which can slightly increase the spawn rate on an entire week.
That and the completely random spawn place would explain why low pop servers don't see much mount at this time. Simply because. There is less people everywhere to farm what could be found at most during
39 minutes per week
...

Ask him for screenshots, if it pathed everywhere someone would have seen it elsewhere by now. However I do keep my macro running everywhere I go(I used g15 so I dont have to spam a key, I have it automatically do it every .5 seconds)
Also I have done every quest in the zone and havent even seen a corpse in the zone in the past 6 days, and someone was saying a GM said it didnt phase.

This is another theory Ive just come up with. Im not sure if someone else has posted somethin like this, but ive seen some that are similar in some ways.
Ok so...
Some servers out there, my server included (Zul'Jin), say that havn't seen the drake (dead or alive) and havnt seen the item query show up that proves hes been looted. What if....TLPD spawns only in ONE exact place, continually, until he is killed, in which then he can spawn in different areas? For example....say everyone searches Bor's Breath and Engine all the time, but NO ONE ever checks Thunderfall, yet that is the only area where time lost spawns, and he continues to spawn/despawn because no one ever searches over there. Because of this, he will NEVER spawn anywhere other than Thunderdfall until someone kills him (remember, this is only an example).
This could be the reason why no one ever sees him in any of the reported places. He just continually spawns/despawns in ONE place till he is killed and then he has another chance to spawn other areas. Im hoping this is a very possible answer as to why some servers never see him.
On day 10 of my camping/searching, and still no drake, but many Vyra. With this new theory, hopefully that will change. I will post any updates i get when i can.

Your thoughts about the so called roar/bellow meaning the drake has spawned is incorrect.

well last night i was up untill 06:30 in the morning when the morning show came on the radio i decided to go to bed. when i then got up i started looking again right away and got news from a m8 that the TLPD had been killed around 06:50 by a guy who just happened to run into him... wasen't looking for him or anything... i'd say ur better of just running around like a headless chicken untill u are agroed by a big Lost Proto Drake...
You have to be lost to find that which can't be found ;)

Considering the "we only find him in those spots because those are the area most people quest in" - I don't think so. I can't remember a single quest I did in Bor's Breath or near the Engine of the Makers and I did most of the quests in Storm Peaks if not all of them (got the quest achievement, and then some...) so I guess that's what most people experience (Horde btw).
After 80 about the only quests I, and again, I assume it's that way for most people who still quest here at 80, I do are dailies, for the Sons of Hodir and in Brunnhildar, and quests for neither of them take place in those areas. Only one quest for Brunnhildar in Brunnhildar or rather one there, one in the mine, and one in Valkyrion. The quests for Sons of Hodir all take place around Dun Niffelem, yet no sightings there.
I just got up after bout 4hours of sleep, at 3am (wierd thing, I woke up more easily than when I sleep from ie. 2am to 8am), continue farming... as in sitting there and waiting...-.-
I try to make the most of the time right now by doing the afforementionend dailies inbetween farming for TLPD, doing one quest, back to sitting at my 3way-intersection point for a few minutes, do another quest, go back.
Easily 6 hours, going onto 7, after my Vyragosa sighting/kill, still no sign of her or TLPD.
@Kadem - yeah, I know about that roar, but who's to say it's the only zone-wide (is that one actually zone-wide? Don't remember seeing the message pop up except the time I did the quest myself) roar?
Another possibility, that TLPD is tied to that roar/step in that quest? Just another straw I'm grasping for (or rather not, because that would suck and as more and more people leveled to 80 and fewer and fewerd new guys did Stormpeaks quest TLPD spawns would get less frequent and farther in between).
Concerning the "spawns everywhere, moves everywhere" thing, sure, possible, but seeing as he apparently already
- shares his spawn point/time/route with another Very Rare Mob
- his respawn is very rare, variable and unrealiable
- he's only up for a certain period of time
- he despawns
- gotta find him, 1 mob in a huge zone, in the air, more possibilites to miss him, especially given WoWs awesomeness of mobs popping up very late, as in when you're nearly on top of them, if you're moving fast.
I think are already more than enough points to ensure it's rarity, making it even more random... please please, make it not be true.
Also I don't think he moves totally random, not sure how well that'd be possible from a technical standpoint, given the different heights and so on, clipping problems, whatever, he'd often fly into a mountain for example. I'll still go with set routes, maybe more than 3, but routes nonetheless, which means sooner or later someone's gonna figure them out.
I don't think Blizzard would go to such extraordinary lenghts for this mobs, as in changing his patterns every few days, making his respawn dependant on totally random stuff like 'if this and this ore and flower are up he'll spawn'.
If they did that it would just make discourage farmers because there'd be pretty much zero chance of successfully camping him, and we know how Blizzard loves people farming....
Guess we'll sooner or later find out about the roar, someone might hear it or not hear it, when TLPD spawns, but we probably will never find out about the despawn because honestly, who'd follow him around and wait for him to despawn to confirm anything?

yeah, rationally spoken it's not that special and a normal 280% mount would do (got all the nether drakes and the albino) just as well, but it looks great, it's rare, it's special and once I sunk my teeth into something like this I just can't let go, I'm kinda persistent in that.
I'm Salty, the Explorer, Ambassador and only 4 recipes away from chef and I plan to get Loremaster sometime in the future, so... go figure. ^^ (besides that I'm a little insane ^^). ;)
I hope someone might still be able to provide some evidence for the roar-theory, it would go a long way towards making this thing less of a PITA.

It has pretty much been determined that TLPD has three possible spawn points. Whether or not it has set paths from there is up in the air. I am also willing to believe the 13 minute timer before it despawns...but 39 minutes a week seems almost ridiculous considering how many people have already found it.

Reported spawn on Sargeras at 43.58 at 5:00 pm November 30th, poor guy was a rogue and was beaten to tagging it by some caster.
edit: Since then, Vyra spawned 11 hours later, then 8 hours after every time for around 36 hours.

I'm nearly 78 now and I came up with a novel idea to help camp TLPD. I figured that rather than ding 80 in a few days and probably miss a spawn that I would try to grind to 80 in a spot where my macro would catch TLPD if it flew by. If anyone could post a spot where I could grind mobs that weren't too packed together, and also possibly catch TLPD close enough to the ground, the would really help me out. :)

Hello guys, i might have some new info on this mobs spawn issues.
Yesterday, i had well about looked for it for 7 days, without luck.
As i, as the first time, leave the area where it spawns, to enter a heroic, i get my luck by having it linkable later on, while i was in there.
This means that it had been dropped, and i missed my chance, gah..
Twas about 21:50 server time, on Shattered Hand
Well.. To the interresting part.
I chatted to an irl friend from another server, (Runetotem), of my demise, since he was also looking for the mount.
What we unraveled next day, was that it spawned at his server too, on the exact same time as on mine.
The more exciting part is that we share the same battlegroup (Cyclone EU) which get's me to the conclusion.. Can this mob be a shared spawn for battlegroup servers?
I think it needs further investigation, please tell me if you get to anything with this

Ok, I am the poor rogue Nef is referring to above. It was all OK though. Emodac tagged him first fair n' square. So I'm VERY sleepy, going on over 38 hours of no sleep, but here is my theory after being in storm peaks that whole time (with the exception of 2 hours).
I was sitting between the engine (hole in the ground) and frigid tomb, looking northeast when it spawned 20 yards from me. I immediately flew to it, was frantic, and couldn't attack it. At that time, Emodac flew up to it, spell tagged it, and we fought over it, clumsy fumbling on my part and he downed it two seconds before I downed him. Epic. Killed at 5:01pm, Nov 29th.
Fast foward 11 hours, to 4:45am, Varagosa spawns, a little south of Valkyrion (I witnessed the spawn as well, but was immediately jumped by a horde warlock and rogue, wasn't going to fight over Vyra anyway). Killed on the spot at the "crossroad between the west exit of bor's breath, where BB, Rhomedhal pass, and entrance to Valkryion village intersect.
Fast forward 8.25 hrs to 1:00pm Monday. Joonz(sp?) of Eminence reported watching her being killed, again, near Valkrion (he was unspecific as to exactly where).
Fast forward to 9:30-9:45 pm Monday, Joonz (sp?) tags and kills Vyragosa inside Valkrion village, witnessed corpse on a hut.
After reading what others have posted and what I have seen, here's what I think happens.
Vyragosa has some pretty localized spawn points, 2, maybe 3...she is (unless some extraordinary coincidence) on a 8 hr timer with a small window, 15-30 mins).
What I believe happens is after Vyragosa is killed, the TLPD has a very low percentage chance to spawn in her place, but not on the 8 hr mark. TLPD can likely spawn anytime within that 8 hr window. If Vyragosa doesn't spawn at the 8 hr mark, the chance for TLPD to spawn keeps running, until the next 8 hr window, and so on. Eventually one will spawn. Question remains as to what happens when TLPD is killed. Either a. timer resets (but that can't be because Vyra didn't spawn until 11 hours after TLPD was killed), or b. the spawn of the TLPD within that 8 hr window REPLACES the next Vyra spawn. For example in my situation, Vyra spawned 5 hours before TLPD spawned(this is my assumption), then with 3 hrs left until next Vyra spawn, TLPD spawned, leaving an 11 hr gap until the next Vyra spawn.
This random chance to spawn between Vyra spawn windows would explain the variety of spawn times, and the lengthiness between them at times. Also, I HIGHLY doubt it was coincidence Vyra spawned 4 times in a row, within 15 mins or so of 8 hrs. Perhaps other reports where people said 24 hours, and other various times, people just missed a kill and didn't realize it. I was spamming in general to please report if you saw her, her being killed, or her corpse.
Now, the next issue is where TLPD will spawn. I know it spawns at the engine...lots have reported bor's breath spawns...and several have reported spawns coming out of Uldar and Terrace. I think it's spawn points are probably finite, but vary a lot more than Vyras. Also, since Blizz wants this to be a rarer than your average rare mount, it likely makes a segment of a trip, and "time shifts" (i.e. depsawns).
In otherwords, outside of using Vyra as a rough gauge, finding this mount really is luck of the draw.
Just my theory though.
Good luck all.

Just an idea, the G15-thing that was mentioned sometime here (saving key-sequences) had me thinking how could I do that without a G15.
Well, I still had AHK from when I tried to dual-box and seeing as it's legal and okay with Blizzard I tried - and it works. ^^
Constantly spamming the macro now without having to press the key more than once every few minutes (made a sequence of a few hundred I think, just kept copy-paste-ing ^^).
Put a call to a spell at the end, which he won't be able to cast without a target, so when I hear the "Can't do that",or whatever,message I know I gotta press the key again to restart it.

stuff we know:
-Dirkee is not a dragon, he is a mechanical gnome
-TLPD has 3 spawn points
-TLPD despawns after a certain amount of time
-Vyragosa has been seen in many very similar places to the TLPD
All i know is that i found vyragosa dead at 8:38 am on Magtheridon and i made trips around the kill sights nonstop until 6 pm, and more after that. I saw Dirkee dead in the Maker's Terrace around 2 pm and haven't seen anything since then. I'll do some more patrolling when the server comes back up.
Also Mag is a very populated server, yet nobody found a TLPD this week, and I haven't heard of anyone with one yet.

The western dot is where I found Vyragosa 5-7 hours earlier (I can't remember exactly when I found Dirkee)

This entire area is the terrace of the makers I believe. Not sure though.

Is it possible that this will be spawned when the servers go live today? (12/2)
Seeing as there is extended maintenance could that make the rares spawn? Also, does server maintenance reset the server cache and make you unable to get the link for it with the /script macro?
One more question about the /script macro... If someone has the dragon as a mount would that add the reigns to the server cache? Or does someone actually need to be logged on who is holding the reigns in their inventory?

Chubbs here from a low pop Hydraxis server. Dirkee Killed 3 times. Vyrgosa seen dead once.
No sign of the TLPD.
Im becoming more and more a believer of the high pop servers getting more spawns. And also the battlegroup wide spawning pattern. but i dont have much backing for it.
I would like to make a collection of the 3 possible spawn points to get an idea if i can maybe find a pattern.
So far theres the south of valkyrion point (28,63) ish.
The engine of makers (44,58) ish.
and i have not been able to find a 3rd point. Im wondering if the valkyrion spawn point is a dual purpose one for both the northern and southern paths.
Anyway just some more fuel for the fire.
My search pattern for those wondering is following the paths and criss-crossing over to check all 3 known patrols. Then randomly just flying around like i have downs just tryign to get lucky. Also titanium nodes affect my pathing.
GL to all. and lets hope we can figure out a little more about this thing.

OK guys... I have been researching this mob extensively and I have gone through all of the 168 comments (so far) on wowhead and all of the comments on thottbot about this particular dragon and compiled a nice list of kill and sighting locations onto a
map
.
These spots are all places I either got an exact coord to or I made myself by looking at screenshots of the dragon (dead or alive).
Things I know about the Dragon itself:
-GM confirmed that it spawns in one of 3 possible locations.
-GM confirmed that it "may have a respawn timer that exceeds 8 hours".
-GM confirmed that it cannot teleport between spawn points
-GM confirmed that it despawns after a certain time
-Easily soloable by any class
-100% drop for the mount
-the path(s) it follow(s) are in the air and therefore you should probably have a way to slowfall so that you can tag it in the air Especially if you are a melee class.
- using this macro:
/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");
should tell you if someone has found it on your server (possibly also can tell you if someone has found it since the last server restart.)
Speculated facts about the Dragon:
-May share spawn points with Vyragosa
-May share spawn points with Dirkee (see note below)
-May cause a zone wide roar sound indicating it has spawned (I have never heard a roar)
After learning all of this information about the TLPD and using the map I linked above I created
this path
that I will follow while looking for the dragon. I will probably start at the most southern point moving northeast past the engine. Check the spot with all the blue drakes and continue north and circle Ulduar. Next I will take the western path south and go through the canyon back to the blue protos and to the most eastern point. Then I will turn around and follow the path back to the most southern point and repeat.
The common macro being used to find the TLPD is this:
/tar Dirkee
/tar Vyra
/tar Time
/stopmacro
/tell YOURNAMEHERE > %t <
Replace YOURNAMEHERE with your character's name. It will send you a tell if something is targeted that has the name of what is targeted.
Happy Hunting!
Note on Dirkee: one post here on wowhead says that he killed Dirkee and saw Vyra's corpse less than an hour later. This tells me that the 2 don't share spawn points and therefore he doesn't share spawns with the TLPD. Also, the fact that Dirkee is not a Dragon and cannot fly says that they can't possibly share the same path. However, a common speculation is that if one of these 3 rares are alive the others will not spawn.

Chubbs, a GM told me the spawn of TLPD has absolutely nothing to do with a server's population.
High pop servers tagg the proto drake more often just because there are a lot of players around. It increases the chance of the TLPD to be tagged by somebody.
PS: Dragros, I don't understand what /tar stopmacro is used for
could you tell me plz? : ) thx

The /stopmacro command is so that it only whispers you if you have something targetted, so you don't get constantly spammed as you use the macro.

Yeah, but someone else said that he (or his friend, can't remember) killed Vyragosa about an hour after he'd killed her, so the very short spawn between Dirkee and Vyragosa doesn't have to mean anything. But yeah, I'd be glad if TLPD did not share routes with Dirkee, cause apparantly Dirkee also spawns waaay east, no sighting of TLPD there though afaik. If we could drop those points as a possible route, it would cut down on the overall route a great deal.
Also - do we have ANY screenshots on any of the supposed spawns near Ulduar and the Terrace of the Makers?
ie. I remember one guy saying he saw him coming down Terrace of the Makers - did he mean the area that says "Terrace of the Makers" on the map? Or could it have been over, down the hill/mountain-range at 41, 49?
drothar also said dirkee was in the Maker's Terrace, when according to the coords he provied he was actually at this library thing area, close to the north-western route.
Is it possible somone also mixed this "down from the terrace" up with that area as well? Cause that would fit this north-western route, rather than the Maker's Terrace coords, for which there is no screenshot afaik.
Damn, why can't people just provide proof. There ARE some guys here that bullsh*t us, like the one who said the GM told him that there WAS a roar and that roar announced TLPD, but he never provided the screenshot as proof. That same guy also told us that all 3 mobs can be up at the same time. So I don't believe those two statements until I see them proven with my own eyes respectively ears (the roar... ;)).
It's hard enough to get information on this thing as it is, without some jerks spreading false information.
I don't like the Ulduar/Terrace of the Makers idea, it would increase the area we have to check by a lot and we have seen no proof. I still check them every other flight, but I concentrate on the Engine and BB+Valkyrion area, seeing as there were the most confirmed kills. As I witnessed an hour ago it's hard enough to check that relatively small area if there's competition... Losing a possible TLPD in BB because I was checking far away Ulduar, which might be totally useless? No.... Only if I'm pretty much the only one farming at that time.

Thanks to all! Server restart in an hour so i'm hoping I can knab mine. Only real threat I have is a guild that claims to know exact spawn points and farming him(doubt it), but they were out there while i was farming before shutdown last night and trying to sell his pat for 200g (psshh!) and a whisper about any info on his whereabouts only got me "I can sell his exact location for thousands of gold! Why would I tell you?". Thanks again folks, i've got my route mapped out as soon as servers come up, just hope i have no problems pulling him as a RG.

From what I've understood, the detailed description of the item ("This is a fast flying mount, blah blah blah") only shows up after someone on the server has looted it. So if it's stuck on "Retrieving item information", that means nobody on your server has looted it yet. It doesn't have any bearing on whether or not the TLPD is currently spawned or not.
Please correct me if I'm wrong on any account.

I still dont see why people think Dirkee has anything to do with TLPD, hes a freakin mechanical gnome lol. Also search him up on wowhead for the locations he spawns in, ive seen him in all 3. His locations arent mystery, hes just rare because its a 12-24 hour spawn. Im also leaning towards vyragosa not being tied to TLPD at all, I could see how it is thought that they could share spawns but I think its just a normal rare spawn just like dirkee. Both of them are seperated by the achievement from TLPD who is absent from it, I know that doesnt matter but it gives me more reason to believe. Vyra seems to spawn every 12-24 hours no matter what from what I have seen.

Concerning the roar - still had no TLPD spawn, thus no possibility of a roar - and the idea that it was actually the roar from the quest from Thorim to get his dragon back - I'm just sitting above the frozen lake south of Valkyrion and (thx Carbonite) someone seems to have completed the quest just a short time ago (saw at her Carbonite-Node Info "Verdanus (or Veranus or whatever that thing is called) 1/1", next location update on her was her flying towards Temple of the Storms, where Thorim resides.
So I have to assume that she finished this quest, and I've been here for hours, didn't move, and I did not hear a roar nor see a pop-up message "Verdanus roars loudly blablabla" or something like that, and I'm not that far away from where the quest takes place.
Master Volume 100%, Sound 100%,Ambience bout 50%, volume on my sound-system turned up pretty high, so I should have heard this roar if there was one.
This gives me hope again that there actually might be the infamous roar when TLPD spawns.

No idea what that means, so far the macro has been an integral part of the "hunt". Anyone got ideas or insight why it works this way?
Maybe it works the same way Atlasloot works (guess they both use the same mechanic) and you got it in your local folder because you've already seen someone with the mount or you have it in your local folder because last week someone looted it and even though the server cache was reset and is empty (his result) the script uses the local copy of the information, thus your result?
No clue if that could work, just an idea.

Have there been any sightings of this crafty fellow towards the eastern side of the map? For example around the Thunderfall / Tunka'lo camp. I think the key to bagging his reins will be an efficient farm route. Assuming he does have a path ;)

While using the script that checks the server cache, it shows the mount and you can proceed to see it, but try to link it and it only comes up in script. Which just means maybe Blizzard is trying to negate that macro for us to use on finding rare items, though not completely done because you still can't link it as an item, but only preview it for yourself.
Edit; So now all you have to do is use the macro, then try and link it in say, or whatever chat you use.

Ok well here's my story...
Two weeks ago before maintenace I was camping it, flying around the zone spamming my macro (pretty sure my Z key will die soon). The link returned nothing, I never saw anything right up until Tuesday maintenance.
Last week I started out right from the get go, link returned nothing and I kept flying around spamming my macro, mainly at key locations. That night there was a server restart which got my hopes up a it more, though I got nothing even after that. Went to bed for a couple of hours, came back and the link worked. Really bummed me out, found out some blood Elf mage had gotten it. So I gave up for a few days, started back at it the other day.
Today I logged on right after my server came up, within 30 seconds. The item link worked which kind of surprised me as I logged out in Storm Peaks and there was no way someone had killed him. I flew around the zone and never found a corpse. So unless some git under 80 has it sitting in his bags then I don't know.
I've killed Vyragosa a few times and Dirkee a couple of times.
http://img266.imageshack.us/my.php?image=wowscrnshot120308105645sm8.jpg
Skulls mark where I think possible spawn points are, or there abouts.
Star marks where I know Vyragosa spawns as she spawned right in front of me there. As in popped up, didn't move for a bit, then started on a path.
X marks where I have killed Vyragosa
Diamond marks where I know Dirkee spawns as I've killed him there multiple times.
I'm up to the point where I'm flying around the zone like a nut spamming my macro, flying everywhere, even flew down the cliff on the north and inside mountains.
There is a spot just east of Brunnhildar Village with blue proto drakes flying around it, I've been thinking this may be a spot where he paths or spawns.
This mob wasn't meant to be found easily, which means he could fly anywhere. North East part of the zone is possible.
Good luck to everyone trying to find this guy.
Edit: Just got another Vyragosa kill right where I marked my spawn point, some 79 Warrior in trade was asking for help to kill her.
And also yeh, the item link doesn't actually link when you link it in say, whisper or whatever. Thanks for the info.

Yeah, thanks for the tip on the item link, good to know the macro _does_ work. ^^
The one skull at Bor's Fall is also where I suspect the third spawn point, given that the areas where most of his kills took place are also around suspected (the ones where Vyragosa spawns) or confirmed spawn points (the one near the Engine) and around Bor's Fall is a relatively high number of kills.
Would also fit for the third route of Vyragosa and, if not confirm, make it highly likely that TLPD and Vyra share spawn points and routes.
It would also result in rather nasty positioning of spawn points. You can either
a)camp at a spawn point and surveil 2 routes (ie the one at the Engine, its route and the one with the BB/Valkyrion spawn, but not the Bor's Fall one) and lose the chance on the third route, but be pretty sure to get the 1 spawn point you camp, IF it spawns there ... or
b) camp at the intersection at around 36/67 and have a chance on all 3 routes, but only if TLPD is already moving along the route(s) and no one catches him at the spawn point.
Would make sense imho.
I also think Vyra shares the TLPD spawn near the Engine, there have been many reports of her being killed in that area, makes sense one of her spawn point is there and given that TLPD already got one there, they seem to be connected, would make sense they share the spawn point. Same goes for the BB/Valkyrion spawn point.
Just my 2cents.
Still problems with the Terrace of the Makers and Ulduar in that theory though.
What if he has those routes and follows one of them, but after he finishes, he teleports to either Ulduar or Terrace of the Makers and flies around there for a bit before de-spawning? Makes sense?

Vyrgosa just spawned and killed on Shadow Council, 28;55. Never moved an inch. Definitely a spawn location.

I've camped many things in wow before, but this definitely takes the cake. Blizz made a bit of a boo-boo by making this one so random. I can see how it's driving a lot of people crazy; sure it's just a game and all, but those of you whom have been camping him on and off, or for hours straight, know what I'm talking about.
For fellow drake hunters, how many of you are actually using a path going back and forth? Do you happen to stop at the supposed spawn points and sit there for a bit and hope, or do you keep moving? How many of you have assistance from a friend to find him? I'm curious. I'm spawn camping right now, and after being here since server restart, with nothing in sight... going around in circles mashing that macro.. I'm kinda waiting now at a supposed spawn point with a friend at another.
I have been searching for a full week; not 24/7... but a few hours here, checking back and forth. Seen Vyra dead once, killed her once, killed Dirkee once... Checked back, no TLPD. Haven't even seen a corpse or anything.
Seems like it's all about luck and being there at the right time. Unless you can sit there for 48 hours straight or something to that effect and change shifts with someone. Ugh, nasty timer for it to come to that.
Good luck fellow drake hunters. We need it.

Vyragosa just spawned 4 minutes before server shutdown at 33,,65. Hopefully TLPD will be wandering around when the servers come back up.

A little food for thought:
Questhelper's find feature (/qh find Time-Lost) gives these 2 locations:
http://i33.tinypic.com/28o6fb.jpg
Flying to the southernmost point puts me right about here:
http://i35.tinypic.com/25q8wsy.jpg
The north point is right here:
http://i36.tinypic.com/dhbfra.jpg
I don't know exactly what QH bases its mob locations on. I assume it's the most frequent place you'll find whatever it is you look up. Regardless, this seems to reaffirm the patting along Bor's Breath and also point towards possibly even more north than previously thought.

Just killed
Vyragosa
above Valkyrion. She seemed to be making a path something like
this
when I found her. I had been out there going through my camping route (which includes above Valkyrion) and I had just been there a couple minutes previous, so there is a good chance that she had just started her pat.

TLPD got killed around 17.00-20.00 yesterday then spawned again 6 hours later 01.00 right before the maintenence, saw the corpse laying in Bor's Fall. Then comes the thinking "what if i stopped fooling around in IF those 15min...and came here to check earlier" :P

TLPD Link doesn't work All Week until Monday, day before maintenance. So Might have a higher chance if you waste all your time searching the day before maintenance and right as the severs come back online instead of wasting 100+ hours per week for nothing like I have..
Dont believe me? I have over 5200 hours logged.. 200 of which was the past 2 weeks searching for this freaking mob.. and the one time I log off to get some sleep it drops,.. so typical of blizzard.

I can confirm that i Saw Varygosa on Bores Breath...but sad for me, i saw only the dead body of his. Means someone killed him, as in general chat, there was no talking about someone linked or told that he just got a mount. Either he did not drop any mount, or it might be alliance who killed him, since iam Horde.
But, As i saw him and as MANY here says, Bores Breath is the most and best spotted place where u might see him alive or dead.
Bores Breath is the Icy lavyn just abit east north above K3
This map is gathering all cords of the NPC has beeing seen dead or alive. Will update later

I used Autohotkeys to spam my macro when I left. I remember someone saying a GM told them that TLPD can teleport to his favorite locations. I assume this is correct because it accounts for the seemingly larger than three number of spawns. So potentially the mob has 3 spawn points, and can teleport to other points where it pats from until it despawns.

Ok. I wanted to add my exp here too.
Great thread here. It's been great to read as I fly around spamming my macro.
First I found and killed (with help) dirkee, a couple of days ago. He was at 41,42. I have ss if anyone wants them.
I've been looking for TLPD for ~ a week and 1/2. Mostly while questing, or running inbetween quests, occasionally getting obsessive and only flying around, and always taking the long route to turn-ins. The query macro has never worked / been in the server cache.
Today, while flying to turn in one of my last quest in stormpks, flying across snowdrift. I found him (her). First saw him coming over the top of the little mountain that houses Bouldercrag's Refuge, 32,36. It would have been within casting range as it crossed the peak, but by the time I got to a spot, he was out of range-- and really high. I tried a couple of times to dismount + slowfall (mage) + instant cast pull him, but it turned out to be pretty hard from that height. I followed him a bit, finally brought him to the ground at 27,44 where this ss was taken. Once I had him on the ground it was pretty easy (even though the only spell I could think to cast in the shock of actually finding him was arcane exp.).
http://img234.imageshack.us/img234/8308/timelost1op4.jpg
Here's the path that I saw:
http://www.wowhead.com/?maps=67:325365314368306368294372286384277392277407273425272444270458
Once I looted the reins the query macro started working, and It's been working since (~8hrs).
Windrunner server. High-pop (one of the org. 12 or so) ally imbalanced 12:1. Server came back up after maint ~12:45ish, and I found the TLPD at ~ 4:55.

28,55 is confirmed as a Spawn location for Vyragosa. No roar. Spawned at 3:50AM server time on Medivh (US). Right as I was alt-tabbing in from reading comments here. Now to find out the spawn timer!

few words about server query script
it works if one of the following conditions is true
1-item is in server side cache (was looted by someone since last maintenance or someone got it in his bags)
2-item is in client side cache (link was clicked by you earlier while its worked)
so delete CACHE folder from WoW root folder before querying server
评论来自
bratok
and few more things:
1-Vyragosa and TLPD got at least 4 routes, not 3. And i dont care what GM told you. Its 100% fact
2-forget about roar, its not connected with spawns
3-forget about Dirkee, he is not shares spawn cooldown with dragons
After 10 days of almost non stop hunting using 3 accounts (multiboxer) i've killed Vyra 12 times and TLPD once.
I'll give full info (all routes, spawn points, spawn intervals etc) after 2nd and 3rd drop for all my characters :)

Sorry, but at this point nothing is 100% fact.
I'm willing to believe the TLPD spawn at the Engine for example, because it fits and it makes sense and two people have reported seeing him spawn there.
But other than that it's speculation.
Unless you have a video or a few screenshots or whatever of this fourth route (it would make sense actually) that too is not 100% fact.
If you have this information then great, yay, please share it, thanks and I apologize.
Don't 100% agree with Dirkee, he is a very rare spawn after all like the other two, so there could be some shared cooldown or whatever, but it's definitely possible there's no connection.
My server just went up a few minutes ago, logged in asap, must have been one of the 10 first people or so.
Flying all over Storm Peaks atm, checking pretty much everything, including the 1 90% confirmed and the other 3 speculative spawn points, Ulduar and Terrace, even the eastern parts.
Nothing so far.
Server query returns nothing so far. I'll do one or two more full zone sweeps.
If I don't find anything on either of the 3 (yeah, going with 3, just for the sake of going on anything at all) I'll go with "no immediate spawn after server restart".
lol... world server down... ffs! -.- immediately after the weekly maintenance... my server is so f*cked up, get it toger Blizzard!

I got mine more than a week ago.
I see a lot of wacky theories about this rare mob.
Let's see if my one in weird enough:
3 proto dragons come from "dungeons and raids" achievements (black, red and plagued)
1 proto drake comes form "world events" achievements (violet)
1 proto drake (green) is a very rare drop from exalted Oracles item. If it were an achievement it would go under the "Reputation" tab
So this one is a rare mob. It should be under the "Exploration" achievement tab like the other rares, but it's not.
Maybe it "phases in" only for player who have a high exploration rate, like "Explore Northrend" or "World Explorer".

Talked to a GM today about another issue I had and thought to bring up the TLPD, heres the information I gathered:
1. Possible confirmation again on three spawn locations.
2. Clearly stating it does not despawn at any point or after any certain time.
3. It has a long respawn timer (duah...)
Me posting this isn't going to convince anyone without evidence so here is a screenshot of the key points in the conversation:

Uhm.... the other GM clearly stated that he DID despawn.... So we got one stating that he DOES despawn, another stating he DOESN'T:.... what the...?
which would make more sense, seeing as how few people had him... he was not found on my server last week, assuming he spawned just ONE time (should happen at least once in 7 freakin days) and didn't despawn someone's bound to have bound him - which did not happen.
So I'll go with the despawn, would also make more sense according to Blizzard's tradition (like the books for the Higher Learning despawning 3 mins after someone activates it).

Yeah, four makes sense atm, but I seriously don't know what to believe anymore.
Blizzard really ought to tell them the damn facts so they don't all say different things on this already very hard to get mob.
I'm getting really tired of this thing, might take a break from it, spent 24 hours camping yesterday with pretty much no result. I'll still camp there when I'm doing something i RL, when I'm looking for a group and so on, but I'll cut back on my patrolling time.
It is after all just a 280% mount. It would be awesome to have, but considering the amount of time you have to invest to get it it should be in line with the other proto-drakes, which means 310% speed.

No screenshots of this sorry. But I found this a little interesting.
Two weeks ago, my server had 5-6 TLPD spawns, great. Next week rolls along (This past week) no spawns for 2 days.
So on Thursday I do a GM ticket because I read numerous posts of it being bugged on a lot of servers after Manitenance. GM confirmed it was not spawning and was indeed bugged. Again, this was last week. The entire week, my server got 0 spawns.
Now this Maintenance rolls along (dec. 2). Servers come up, I do a ticket to see if it's still bugged (GMs have to tell you if it's working correctly or not, or are supposed to). The GM I get says it's working correctly, and i'm thinking finally!
So I dig a little deeper and he says it was NEVER bugged at all, on any server. It seems ALL the GMs are now saying it's not bugged and never was.
What are the odds, I do a ticket, a GM says it's bugged and that week we get 0 spawns? Yet new GM says it wasn't ever, and the week before we get 5-6.
I really wouldn't go off of what ANY GMs say at this point. They are all over the place and not even on the same page as other ones.
So those servers with 0 spawns since launch. My guess is it's bugged (for whatever reason) and they are just saying it's working correctly.

Been camping this since saturday the 22nd. After only an hour of flying around I found TLPD dead with a 77 shammie standing next to it, apparently he had just killed it. I figured it wasn't THAT rare. Boy was I wrong.
After that I saw Vyra 3 times, killed it 2 times, didn't see Dirkee at all, and haven't seen TLPD since.
I put all my personal sightings on this map, which is 100% accurate. Sadly no obscure new spawn points or anything, but at least I can confirm two paths Vyra takes:
http://www.wowhead.com/?maps=67:338796345790357776363763367745367733369718369695369683327803417700319654309658297664288675284691281706277732279561
27.9,56.1 is where I found TLPD dead. I don't know if it was flying north or south, but I'm inclined to believe he can go either way.
Next, the path starting in the middle of BB is where I bumped into Vyragosa, it was rounding Frosthold to the south.
Third, the path starting south of Bor's Fall is also Vyragosa's. He was coming from the west, so it had possibly completed a full loop around Frosthold, or it might have spawned south of Frosthold high on the mountain.
The 4th dot is where I found someone else killing Vyra, next to the cave in Sifreldar Village. Again not sure here whether it was flying north or south before it was brought down.
On another note, the "roar" sound a lot of people describe, I'm 99% sure it's coming from the blue protodrakes when they do a frost breath on one of the poor buffaloes.
Hope this helps someone.

Nearly 24 hours after my server last rebooted, the mount is not in the cache and I can't find Vyragosa or Time-Lost (I searched thoroughly...if they were there, I would have killed them). There were other people looking for these guys at the same time as me; I'm positive that if Time-Lost had spawned then someone would have downed him. That means that, nearly 24 hours after a server reset, he's definitely not there.
This could mean a couple of things.
The timer may be variable (sometimes 6, 24, or even more hours between spawns). Alternatively, this could be confirmation that Vyragosa really does share a spawn timer with Time-Lost.
Of course, it could also mean both. I don't have a way of knowing whether anyone has killed Vyragosa unless I come across the corpse before it despawns, so maybe she spawned after 12 hours and either her or Time-Lost will spawn soon. Just thought I'd add my information to the pool.

had another Vyragosa just now, didn't see her spawn unfortunately.
I was waiting at the eastern edge of the engine when suddenly my macro had a target, Vyra.
Made a few screenshots of her path.
I wanted to follow the whole path, but some dumbass 77 warlock attacked her at Bor's Fall, even though I immediately whispered her to stop, because I wanted to follow her path. I would have explained the situation better had there been more time... well, she didn't stop, killed her, great... -.-
She didn't even get the Northern Exposure achievement so she didn't even need the kill (except for the Frostbitten achievement, but really, what sane person would go after that?), she saw me following her very closely, so either I wanted to follow her or I wanted to kill her... and her not being TLPD she could have let me have Vyragosa either way as she's not that important.... damn, how I hate those people.
She could either have spawned still near the blue proto-drakes, so more or less close to the "confirmed" (as much as we can confirm anything) TLPD spawn at 44, 58, or somewhere else entirely, no clue.

So, one thing i would like to know is...
What are you guys doing when you farm this guy? are you sitting in one spot hoping to catch a spawn/pat, or patrolling in a certain manner? I just need some ideas on how i am going to get this guy and i was thinking that maybe sitting over the Engine would be the best thing to do. Help would be mutch appreciated and i will be sure to post if i find anything.
I farmed it a little early this morning and patted around, from bor's fall to valkyr and around the makers terrace and back to the engine, and i didnt even see a corpse. going to try later today
Good luck to all, and happy hunting =D
Edit: If i do end up patrolling, does this seem like a reasonable route? if there is a better one let me know

I wept this afternoon when I saw the post on WoW Insider about TLPD. Okay, I didn't really weep, but it's damn frustrating all the same. As if there needed to be more people searching for this thing. As for me, I've been flying around in circles every day but my search has been in vain; not even a corpse. I know it's been killed and looted at least once on my server. I logged on a little before 6 hours past the extended maintenance on Tuesday and looked for an hour, but to no avail. To know a solid spawn rate or concrete spawn locations would make this monumentally easier. Oh well, back to the drawing board. This is still very high on my wishlist and I figure anyone who looks for it enough WILL one day see it, it just takes a lot of patience. Patience I don't know if everyone (including myself) has.

I was working on another matter with a Senior GM (for 4.5 hours mind you) while sitting and spamming my macro looking for the TLPD. After my problem was solved the GM asked me if there was anything else he could do for me. I asked him how much he knew about rare elites. He said "If you ask me about the Time-Lost Proto Drake I swear..." So I did! Not much info really but something he said really stuck out to me.
He hinted at the fact that the TLPD could be KoS (Kill on Sight) to some other mobs in the area. Thus making it even more rare and seemingly a reason that it would "despawn" after a certain amount of time. Take it for what it's worth, and I have screens to prove the whole conversation if proof is necessary.

Apparently if you have a G15 there's a way to make the macro repeat itself without you having to constantly press it. I've not found it though :p

I just killed W. at Bors Breath, she/he/it was flying very slowly towards Valkyrion and must have spawned less than a few minutes before my encounter with it, as I had just made my usual TLPD-turn around the engine and the crash-site starting around the same area as I killed W. in...

Just killed Dirkee at 37.0, 57.0 roughly 12 hours after the realm (Alonsus EU) rebooted, right on the western edge of the Engine of the Makers. Was (of course) looking for the Time-Lost Proto Drake, but I guess this means that he
does
share a spawn timer and path with Dirkee, or at least sometimes does.
/Helpful, I know
Edit: Entertaining factoid from the official forums: The name (Time-Lost Proto Drake) is apparently another one of many Blizzard's jokes about players (time wasting with camping, hence "Time-Lost")

uhm, why do you think that means he shares a timer with Dirkee? This area has already been established as an usual area for Dirkee (killed him there myself).
Yeah, Time-Lost is kinda mean... if it's meant that way. Personally I want to think it means something like "lost in time", like he's from the past and finds himself here now, in his "future", thus he's Lost in Time, Time-Lost..... or something.... That's also a reason why I'm considering him having some connection with the Titan structures, like he's from their time, thus connected to the structures some way, might spawn near such structures... no clue, just an idea he had. But there are no Titan structures near the North-of-Valkyrion spawn (unless you count the Temple of Storms), so I guess that theory is out the window.

yeah nonetity, I agree with you it means that he's lost in time.
In french it's called "proto-drake perdu dans le temps" which means exactly "lost in time proto-drake" so I think that's what blizzard means by Lost time, but Thakh is right lol I think "Time Lost" is a blizz' joke to the TLPD farmers who lose their time^^

) and at the snowdrift plains I found Vyragosa. Trailed her south south west towards Valkyrion and finaly got to a point where i could kill her at 28.51
unfortunately i did not get a chance to see the time, but roughly 6:45 server.
TLPD, im coming for joo!
The map goes north from bor's fall, clockwise around the Temple of Storms, counter clockwise around the Engine, counter clockwise at the snowdrift plains, and south toward Valkyrion, and repeat. Hope this helps!

Ok guys lets sum up what i got from the comments above.
1- Only Vyra and TLPD shares same paths
2- No allarm for the summon
3- More then 1 spawn point (up to 4)
4- No despawns (not sure maybe some enemies are w8ing at the end of her routes)
I took every single kill point and compared with others so i got this map. Im not sure what happens after the cut lines maybe end of routes or maybe the enemies of her. Dunno the path near Ulduar and Terrace of the Makers. And also the path maps can be confirmed with this map with little differences.
This is the map i made from the commends above:
http://www.wowhead.com/?maps=67:358642393702367700376728365685362671356660341656348662334658321660312658304658295662288675278702272716286691292650284644279634270627266613265586262598269574273553277535281524281495389506341341321359331355367627374615383605402600414596427588437574445557449539461530393603373598375576378557384539386524391452398481268728397466465679471667476652477634477613370716382712405693418683431679444681457679474598470582465565463545466512477497321473393493334464348456358450370448382448290500299491312366301368288376278384274396273411273423272438273454274467277481281508309483265741268757273770282780291790303794353765344776363751336786325790312792369737

I have been searching for this for over 2 weeks now, yet to find still though.
I have followed and killed Vygra, starting from Broodmother's Nest

I have also seen vygra killed twice in bor's breath.
http://www.wowhead.com/?maps=67:331650332667
The gms are giving out little bits of info though, I was at the blue drakes and told to look south west..
After further asking I gained a riddle:
Keep an eye out between where breath has touched and feet have stepped
I have also however, heard 3 small rawrs, and I flew to the nest and it wasn't the quest dragon wasn't there..

While it makes me sad that you've got 2 already, and I havent even seen him dead, after 30-40 hours of hunting. I don't blame you for not sharing information until you get your final. I would do the same.
I would hope you share when you do get that final TLPD.
评论来自
nonentity
The riddle ain't really hard... breath is Bor's Breath and feet have stepped is The Footsteps, the area around/east of the Engine.
So it means the area of the Engine/around the Engine and possibly the area of the Abandoned Camp, which connects the two. Nothing new there, we already know he/they fly along there.
What do you mean by that? "and I flew to the nest and it wasn't the quest dragon wasn't there.."
Do you mean no one was there (if you took too long, the quest dragon, Verdanus, despawns after her part in the quest is played out), TLPD was there instead of the quest dragon, or what? Also, if you were in that area the roars you heard would probably just be the blue dragons in the area. I've camped at the Engine pretty much the whole day (whole day not one TLPD loot, script still shows nothing) and heard my fair share of roars from those guys... -.-
It's great the GMs give out at least a little information, but would be even greatter if it was new/improved/correct(-ed) information. ^^
Cause in the end, even if we knew everything there was to know, exact spawn points and routes and maybe even the factor for TLPD spawn (chance of x%, conditions and so on) it would still be very hard to get the thing, as he despawns, spawns without notice, in a very big area...
you might totally miss him even knowing all that, because you might just decide to take a break those exact 15 mins he's up, and you'd never know...
I assume the respawn-timer+chance of spawn still leave a huge amount of possibilites when he might spawn.
I actually think not even GMs know for certain when he'll spawn, until he actually does - they might just be able to confirm when he IS and/or WAS up, not when he WILL be.
4am... and the perfect song kicks in... Jack Johnson - Wasting Time... uhm yeah... zZzZzZ

So, someone correct me if im wrong, the script searches the server cache, and if someone has looted the TLPD since the last reset, then it will return information. If it continues searching, or fails to find anything, then either no one has looted the TLPD and its either flying around, or yet to spawn.

Just a reminder to all camping TLPD. When you kill him, screenie his corpse with some sort of background to make the location obvious. State what direction he was going as well. I am compiling a corpse-screenshot only map to make the most accurate map out there since I do not trust every post here.
Right now there are only 8 screenshots which is not even close to enough. Only 6 of them provided mobs direction, but all have recognizable death locations.
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!
Edit: Up to 12 screenshots now, I looked for screenies under the actual mob names comments.

Got this mount on Mazrigos 08-12-04 06:10 server time,
The time-lost proto drake was patrolling the route previously posted here
http://www.wowhead.com/?maps=67:370724367704366689353666362675344662334662321658309658299658290658281667278687269695265716262737261755261766262786266803274807287809299809313809325809341805353792366780370766373747
Be advised if you try to do this without flyingmount like I did, the mobs patrol route is too far from the ground to be pullable until he passes the waterfall and flies between the cliffs on the northwestern portion of it.
Soloed with lvl 74 prot warrior (Maldred, Horde side),
no cooldowns or consumables used.
Had some issues with range bugging while fighting him, I had to jump to smack the last revenge on him, due to the mob never "landing" but flying at ground level when engaged.
Huge thanks to all the posters in this thread so far who encouraged me to get there without flying mount and camp him for a little while.
Now i just need to ding 80 and train flying skill, sheesh...
To all the nay-sayers:
Getting to the zone without flying mount is dead easy, there are paths over the mountains if you really really look, but I did it the easy way.
Swim around the coast from Zul Drak and drown, ress at spirit healer in storm peaks.
And guys, its not an elite, its a 18000 HP rare mob, but not a rare elite.
Basically it hits like a lepergnome on plate.
And to clarify:
I did this before seven in the morning, with a total of 3 people on the horde side in the zone.
There was no questing going on, i for one hadnt completed any quests in the zone since im too low lvl to get them.

I think I found some nifty information. My fellow drake hunter and I were out looking for it in different spots, and then he found the TLPD corpse around 46,60.
I came to check it out because I had never even seen the corpse on our server, so i went over there, and i couldn't see it where he reported it.
So I asked him where it was again, and grouped with him so i could see where he was. We were standing RIGHT on top of each other and could not see eachother, he could see the corpse, I could not.
We left the Foot Steppes/Engine of the Makers area and we could see eachother again. As soon as he would go into the area, he'd disappear. What is up with this? Possible phasing or something weird? This is getting way to complicated for my little brain.
Also wanted to add that in the area, he could see big Iron Giant guys or something, and all I could see were the blue drakes. He could see the blue drakes if he was outside the zone, but as soon as he ENTERED the zone would morph and the blue drakes would go away and the giants would spawn.

This opens up a whole new bucket of worms, but what can it mean? What does it change it terms of, are there consistent spawns in a certain phase? Are the different paths taken in different phases?

Does TLPD take a different path in each phase?
This could explain why people have seen it on at LEAST a few different paths with reports of him in other more foreign places. Everyone who posts a killshot or an SS of the corpse, let us know how far you've progressed in terms of questing in the area (amount of quests, the phasing quest that was mentioned, do you have the achievement, etc.)

These are Screenshots that I have from when I killed him.
I can confirm that he does spawn right outside Valkyrion and starts patrolling to the engine of the makers and looping back around to his original spawn point.
I know for a fact that the spawn point is right outside Valkyrion because he spawned right in front of my face.

GOT IT
160 hours of camping ~15 hours a day. Saw it alive once last Friday at 13:00~ but got ninjad right in front of my face. Didnt spawn since then (AFAIK) on the server. Was camping the "predicted" spawnpoint at 43;58~ (where i think it spawned last time i saw it, 90% sure of this) since it was clearly on a different patrol route this time.
Last time was it patrolled south east towards Brunhilldar Village, this time it patrolled, (spawned?) straight over Engine of the makers and headed towards either one of the patrol routes around Temple of storms or around the mountain to the south.
I was close to giving up and the dragon's at the engine have probably killed me enough to give me a 100 g repair bill but i can not explain the excitement when it poped up on my screen, at first i thought it was just another Vyragosa, had my fair share of those >_<, but the very significant orange color soon changed my mind.
My hands were shaking really badly from lack of sleep and excitement and the nightmare it would be if anyone got it before me AGAIN. Caught up with it at 38;35:60;34, shifted out of flight form poped a couple of moonfires and a Snowfall lager to make sure it stuck with me. Unlike vyragosa or the other blue drakes it had not even the slightest intention in keeping distance to me as i fell slowly. Instead it did an attack called Time-lapse which was some kind of blink spell that brought it to me. The fight itself was very easy although it stayed a few yards above the ground so melee attacks were a very minor annoyance to get in.
As it dropped to the ground i felt a relief that ive barely felt before, maybe when i passed on some really hard test in school :D but it was a great sensation.
Probably took the mount hunt way too far than what's healthy and i wouldn't reccomend it to anybody unless they have the same urge to get this very exotic and rare mount.
Thanks Wowhead for all the awesome comments, maps etc, the people who have gotten it, youve been a great inspiration :).

He did mention that it was possible that someone could have pulled them into their phase, causing it to be unseen by others.

On the lv 80 note, I didn't notice it needed you to be level 80 to use it >.< but still its a awesome mount. ( no i dont have one xD ). As far as my server goes i've yet to see either spawn or mount, in truth i haven't seen any rare spawn at all in my day worth of hunting. I had just hit 77 and I wanted to get a dragon mount.
So I have a question before i waste days worth for hunting this mount, has anyone under level 80 gotten the mount or seen the dragon? (dead or alive).

I doubt the Master Explorer quest has anything to do with it, as this is an Alliance only quest. Unless I've mistaken.
Anyway, Killed Vryagosa @ 12:10 server, and again @ 8:10. It's now 7:50, almost 12 hours later, haven't seen anything. Anyone think that if the time gets longer between spawns, it means that TLPD will spawn?

Screen where I found him
.
I don't know when he got killed .. oh man, I guess I was a bit optimistic :D
For anyone who want's to know it:
I have the Explorer Achievement, also the 100 Quest in Storm Peak's.
Haven't seen TLPD before, but Varythingy dead once, BEFORE I've compleadet the Questachievement and Dirkee once (killed him with Guildies) AFTER I had the Questachievement (and a few of my guildmates havent got the Achievement yet).
Edit: Despawned right now at 14:33 Servertime.
Link of his reins are still working.

Well it's now been around 42 hours since my server came back up. Left the zone for a bit to go do some dailies. Link isn't returning anything still. No mention of him, no corpses, nothing. Almost at the point of giving up, but that's more than likely when he'll spawn >_<
Edit:
This is the current path I'm flying

I sometimes do a sweep over the North Eastern part of the zone for the heck of it, even flown inside some of the mountains and down to the bottom of the Engine. At this point I'm willing for anything.
I did every quest in the zone, not sure how many over 100 there are, but I did them while I was leveling. Maybe it was a mistake, dunno.

It has nothing to do with Phasing or Quests.... because I haven't done any quests whatsoever in Storm Peaks and I nabbed myself my TLPD yesterday. ;) (upcoming post, was busy yesterday) That's right, I haven't done any quests in SP.. so it can't be that. I'm not a Master Explorer either.

just a quick map I did (did the locations from the top of my head, pretty much know the important areas by heart by now... -.- so not 100% accurate but you should get the idea), given a lot of people ask "is this a good route? is that a good route?"
I don't know about the perfect route to check all important areas asap (damn I wish the freakin riding crop worked past 70, we need something new Blizzard, ffs), but this includes all routes known or supposed so far as well as the 3 most likely or rather pretty much confirmed, by several repors, spawn points (the areas at Engine, and north and south of Valkyrion that got a high density/amount of dots)

7th day of farming, still no corpse. Got reports of TLPD spawning as 12pm on Tuesday, which would put it at an hour BEFORE THE SERVER CAME UP.
No corpse, two Vyragosa spawns in seven days. No Dirk at all, either. Spoken to two GMs, just for kicks, no new information, just a confirmation that it's not bugged.
My route is I start at the waterfall in Bor's Breath, fly clockwise around the Temple of Storms, over Valkyrion, dip into Snow Drift and then turn around. Back over Valkiyrion and once more to the Waterfall. Then up and over the mountain to the Engine, check the drakes, check the confirmed spawns, then back to the waterfall. Repeat.
On a slow flying mount, it's an 8 minute patrol. So if there IS something to the 13 Minute Despawn, I should be good as long as no one else finds him.
In all honesty? I curse like a sailor and complain to friends about it, but I've never enjoyed WoW more. Sure, the beans were spilled in WoWInsider, but the air of mystery surrounding this stupid drake is amazing. When everything else in WoW is a numbers game and all information is known before it even arrives on Live Servers, to have even a single mob that's a complete enigma is refreshing. Bravo to Blizzard for this, we definitely need more like it.
...NOW SPAWN, DAMNIT.

I started searching for TLPD exactly last week... A couple of days I was out there for hours 10 here, 10 there... Consistently through the week going by to check, sometimes being there for a couple of hours to keep searching.. Killed Vyra once, no sign of anything for 10 hours. Saw her dead once, no sign of anything for 10 hours.. No TLPD sightings at all, nor did my query every work.
but on Tuesday after maintenance, I was out there with my fiance for 16 hours.
6 hours after the server came back up, I spotted Vyra at 27,50 making her way to the Temple of Storms. Immediately I nabbed and killed her. I was going to leave the corpse alone and see how long it took to despawn, but a Hordie came by and skinned it.. so I continued my search. For hours and hours we went, hoping to find something.. server query came back with nothing.. we barely left the computers and if one of us had to afk for a few, the other would take up both routes. I took the bottom half of the map.. going by K3, Valkyrion, all those places.. While he took Engine of the Makers, Terrace of the Makers, etc. Welp, nothing. The entire time, we saw nothing.. heard nothing. Heck while on our search, someone asked in general where the green drake drop came from.. We responded as it has nothing to do with Storm Peaks.. Some rude ally started blabbing about the TLPD.. by the time he was done (and I even asked him to stop, he said he didn't care..) there were an additional 10 people coming through that had been in the area all day but had obviously not been camping.. The server was pretty full in SP that day. So we thought heck, what if ? Well, you know how that goes.
1 hour, 2, 5, nothing. By the time it was 4:30 AM we gave up, exhausted, disappointed.. as it had been 16 hours since the server came up, and 10 hours since Vyra was killed.
I was going to wake up in another hour and go check, just to make sure. I hit my alarm clock and decided to keep sleeping instead. I woke up some hours later, by this time it was 11 AM Wed, nearly 17 hours since Vyra was killed, and nearly 23 hours since the server came back up. Decided to hop on and check. Signed on with a "sigh", thinking no way. Not that lucky...
Log in at Bor's Breath, 27,64.. headed east under Frosthold... past the small waterfall.. up towards the abandoned camp.. checked around the elemental cave (sorry forgetting the name atm) around the edge near all the wyrms by Brunnhildar... I then go back towards and over to the right of Engine of Makers.. and then BAM! My macro hits gold, I shrill in delight, waking up my fiance who comes running in.. I'm thinking OMG OMG, there he is! He was heading south from the Crash Site.. over the little ridge towards the Engine... I flew into him, not wanting to take any chances since this was going to be the closest pull spot for a while.. he aggro'd.. I de-mounted, and proceeded to kill him. Easy kill, my pet tanked as I dps'd him down. Looted, and there ya go! Of course, now the script works.
He died at 39,47. 11:03AM PST. I know how hard it is to hunt for this guy! He de-spawned exactly 30 minutes later.
BTW, I have done no questing at all in Storm Peaks. I am no Master Explorer. :P
Pretty sure I'm the 2nd person on Scarlet Crusade to have it from what I was told and what I have seen. :-) Real happy gal now, good luck to all of you, and don't stop looking, even if it is the occasional check! It worked for me! ;)

Been camping this on and off (mostly on) for about 5 days now. I hadn't seen any of the targets in the macro until this morning, when after a short afk I came back to find Vyragosa's corpse in Bor's Breath, halfway up the mountain almost exactly across from the entrance to Uldis. This was at 10:45 am CST on Uldaman.
My path is basically just to start at valkyrion, go down through Bor's Breath, up over the abandoned camp, make a quick leg through the blue drakes, then back up around east of the zeppelin crash, back around to the cradle with the huge guy, and back down over Valkyrion. I switch between clockwise and counter-clockwise, just to mix it up.
I know I've logged at least 40+ hours just watching for this mob. I work at home so I have wow on one computer and work on the other.
I'd give up, but I'm stubborn. ; )
EDIT: One other thing I thought of - if some mobs do have TLPD as Kill on Sight, then it's possible that you could be chasing the thing, and a mob from a different phase could whack it, taking it out of your phase and into it's own. My personal theory, after reading everything here and anywhere I could about the TLPD is that it has slightly different paths for different phases, and you'll only see it if it happens to spawn in the phase you're within. I think it was probably a concious decision on Blizz's part in order to play with the side-effects of phasing. Whether this applies to Vyragosa or not, I don't know, but I can see the play on it's name "Time-Lost" as being a (meant or not) clue as to why it's so hard to get a finger on.
All theory, of course.

Killed Vyragosa at 2:10am. She was flying over Valkyrie, heading south towards Bor's Breath, which leads me to believe she spawned by the cave north of Valkyrie. 2 Vyra Kills, no TLPD sighting.

another Vyra kill, found her at ~ 37, 67 in BB, bit north of BF, guess she was coming from the supposed close-to-BF spawn, or the BB/Valkyrion spawn, doing the route around the mountain with Frosthold on it.
Going by the despawn timer of 30min she must have spawned at about 21:55 my time (found her at 22:19, despawned at 22:27, lil bit of time flying the route).
Same here Mavia. I'm on day 5 (I think, or 4, or 6? I honestly don't know for certain atm...Oo), I have spent pretty much exactly 24hours yesterday alone (got up at 3am, did it till servers went down for weekly maintenance at 3am the next day), easily 12hours the day before that, and so on... and it's getting freakin annoying, as there's still not one f*cking kill according to the script. I'm also more lax about it by now.
We got about 3 more or less confirmed spawn points, 1 unknown one, I figure I can just as well camp one spawn than check the whole route.
my thinking:
4 spawns (supposedly) = 25% chance for him to spawn at any of them, so I already got a 25% chance of catching him. I got about 0% of catching him if he spawns near BF (or wherever that spawn is) and does the round-Frosthold route, but I might be able to see him from my position if he takes the round-Temple-of-Storms route, or the route where he flies up/down towards/from the Terrace.
To get a chance of catching him this high or higher by checking his routes, you'd pretty much have to check all his routes completely non-stop. But you got an equally good shot at all routes this way.
Guess you gotta decide for yourself what to do.
I only wish I knew for sure I would see him if he was flying the Terrace route or the Temple of Storms route... damn drawing distance is too damn short. He could actually be flying on the other side of the Engine and I wouldn't know... f*ck.
I definitely don't see the Rhinos on the other side of the Engine, but he's flying so I might see him, tried that one time with Vyra's corpse, I could see her sooner the closer I was to her in height, if I checked near ground level I'd see her much sooner than when I was flying high.
My computer can easily handle WoW, let me adjust the drawing distance for objects/characters ffs....

Not a single mount has been looted on my server, before or after patch. Somethings missing or my GMs are lying to me about it spawning correctly. Its been how long now since expansion? And as far as I know, Vyragosa has spawned once.

Days of camping.... My hand are starting to hurt a bit from the constant tapping of my macro.
Just talked to a GM.
-"It's working as intended"
-"My non-GM advice would be to spend your time on something else"
-"I cannot reveal anything about the mob, other than it's rare"
:( Man! this sucks...

I've been camping this thing for...days. I don't like to think about the exact time to be honest ><. What I have noticed is now my server has an influx of people camping one specific point all around the clock, it used to be just me and one other person :|.
Anyone else noticed that the number 3, anything between halfto-15past the hour tends to crop up? I know that leaves 15minute windows where it isn't seen much (if at all from the list I made during the hour it was garunteed not to spawn on my server because someone just got it). I tend to read alot of people really seeing it within 30-the hour. Some just after.
I dunno, I'm really getting bored with this thing now. It used to be quite fun camping it while researching, speculating and streaming films. But when you're a 'lock surrounded by instant taggers it's shameful :(. Might go for the sensible option and try for the red/blue one and just macro-spam when I'm up there mining/doing dailies.
Also, does anyone know if a GM telling you "to use the public forums to confirm this" is different from a no? Will GMs deny something but not tell you things you ask about? I asked specifically about the "roar" people hear. He told me to use public forums to confirm it. I'm not sure how the mind of GMs works.

TLPD #2 spawned on my server, and both times I was late by about 10-20 min logging on. As in, both times I logged on, flew around and hit my macro and saw the corpse. Talk about demoralizing.
I guess I should be happy the thing is spawning, but for every other person that gets it, that is going to be more competition, as more people will see its awesomeness.
Goodluck fellow hunters.

Major important info in this post, please read carefully.
I was question and my macro hit Vyragosa, and i was pretty happy. 2nd time i tagged her, and EXACTLY 24 hours after the first time. She was high up and me being a mele i couldnt get ger somewhere attackable because she is ranged, so i followed her. This was probably the best decision i could make, because i found what appears to be a new route (i cant seem to find anyone else confirming this. I found her at Bor's Fall, and followed her. Here is the map.(
Map
) And for you skeptics here are 2 SS showing land marks and map showings of vyragosa. (
SS 1
) (
SS 2)
As you can see, the 2nd SS is just of the map in front of the same image.
I think it is safe to say Vyra and TLPD share a pat route, and i dont think many people thought of this, in fact i am altering mine just because of it.
I hope this helps, and maybe in the next 24hr i will get lucky. I follwed Vyra for 5 mins until i could get her, and her kill location is 50.61, 36.5
The location i pulled her from was roughly 46, 39
Good luck hunting!

Just killed Vyra on her flight path going counter-clockwise around Frosthold. So if you are searching for her or maybe even the TLPD that is one confirmed route.
NOTE: Killed her in Bor's Breath. She flew about 60-70 yrds up and could be dragged down by LoS. As a rogue i was unable to use anything to grab her down into mele or even throwing range. The TLPD is also able to be kited down purely by agro distance.

Im on day 6 of the drake hunt. 10 - 15 hours a day.
I will usually sit above the lake at Bors or north of Valk for a while, run the circuit and go back to camping a known a spawn. Rinse and repeat, with my macro tied into my gamepad spamming every .75 seconds.
My results? One Vyra corpse. Thats it after all these hours wasted. I havent even seen anyone claim they have gotten Time. I would think there would be a self congratulatory link in local.
I wish I had some usefull information to share with everyone but all Ihave to share so far is frustration.
But Ive decided Im going to keep going at it. I get pretty good tunnel vision when it comes to stuff like this.

Hahaha! As I was finishing my last post I alt/tab back and hit my macro. Theres Vyra right next to me! Its no mount but its a lot of moral support after all this time.
He spawned at exactly 28, 51. Wasnt traveling and didnt give him a chance to find out what direction he was going to head.

Thats very interesting. Seeing as how nobody has shown proof of this path until now I wonder how many other possible paths there are.
As far as the time between kills, it could still hold to the 6 hour theory. Would be 4 spawns in exactly 24 hours if they were killed right when they spawned.

Uhm, actually we've been talking about Vyra and TLPD sharing route/spawn and that there seems to be a Terrace route, so that essentially is nothing new... ;)
BUT - we had no screenshot of ANY kill in Terrace, Vyra or TLPD, nor even part of the route, so this is awesome. :)
You should have followed her for longer though... ;) Could have actually gotten us the Ulduar route... :( Damn.. :(
But, still, thanks alot, any bit of information is great to have.
I totally understand that nobody follows TLPD on his route but kills him as soon as possible, can't risk losing the kill, but as we are about 90% certain, at this point I think, that Vyra and TLPD share routes and spawns, I wish people would take the time to follow her and map out the routes, with coords and screenshots.

TLPD teleports correct? I am a pally and the only ranged i have is avengers shield. I can tag with that but i am worried TLPD will not come down and fight.

I spotted the Time-Lost Protodrake headed south from Valkyrion into Bor's breath. An alliance spotted it at the same time I did, and he tagged it before I could.

Just to clarify about the Master Explorer questline phase thing. Nowhere did I say that you could not see this dragon if you did not have this questline completed. I am simply stating that there ARE phase issues.
I am not lying, no matter what GM's say. We've seen a number of places where GM's comments contradict one another. I'm just trying to help figure things out and see if anyone can relate to my experiences.
For the record, I was standing in the SAME place as my friend by the Engine of the Makers, he could see the corpse, I could not see HIM or the TLPD's corpse. I saw blue proto's and rhino's, he saw a bunch of iron gollem giant things.
We researched a little, I did the questline "The Master Explorer" and then I could see the iron giants. All I am saying here is that phasing plays a part in this mounts spawn and such.

I actually was wondering that as I was questing thru the area while looking for the drake. did my best to complete all quests in the area to be safe. Also, 6 days now, only bout 3-4 full hours of searching each day, haven't seen a corpse of either rare :(

This map is the mostly like route you'll find TLPD at. Remember, although this map is likely to find you the TLPD I recommended you only use it when you are the only one patrolling for it because some spots are a pretty low chance you'll find him. Happy hunting!

Try this, ask around in Storm Peaks and find out who has NOT completed this questline, if you HAVE completed it. Then play around a little bit to confirm it for yourself.

Been looking for TLPD for almost a week, have not left storm peaks at all, I have only seen/killed Dirkee. Two things i have seen so far, 1. That Drake is harder to find than a 3 dollar bill. I have camped and patrolled the whole Western side of the map. While patroling/camping, i noticed the 2nd thing, I cant belive how many players are looking for this drake and have a regular flying mount! Your 80 and your looking for a rare that you cant even use? Come on guys, if you cant even mount it because you cant save 5k gold, you shouldnt be lowering the chances of players who have actually earned the right to fly that mount. You may get a few "Grats" on getting the mount, but the laughter that you can't even use it would make you not even want to post that you got it. Happy Hunting!

I don't think anyone who is going to spend the time to actually get this thing really thinks they're going to "waltz in and grab it," epic flier or not. The fairweather farmers will weed themselves out over time, once they see it's going to take them more than a two hour camp to get it.
Also, laughing is the
last thing
you'll be doing if you lose the mob to one of us 60% flyers. The idea that you would laugh at anyone who got this is instead of you is absurd. You link the reins in general, and no one's going to look at your level or riding skill...they're going to wish they were lucky, too, because there's no skill to getting this thing at this point. It's all dumb luck and wishful thinking.
Personally, I've never bought epic flying because I wasn't in a hurry to get anywhere, and had better things to blow my gold on. Once I get the mount, I'll have a reason. Consider it my incentive to "earn the right to fly that mount."

TLPD Spawned. I was tabbed out. It flew THROUGH ME, heading along Bor's Breath, aggro'd and swung at me twice. Unfortunately, I just sat there. I tabbed back in and a dwarf warrior nabbed it in front of me.
I AM INSANE RIGHT NOW.
Kill spot is 31;69, he had to drag it up the mountain.
Despawned at 10:30 Server.

Another Vyragosa kill - 12:30am server time, east coast US server.
Spawned in the drake field east of the engine - 45,59
I think it's safe to say that they 100% share spawns.

P.S.
I think the TLPD does one full pat of its 1/4 spawn points then either de-spawns for x amount of time and re-spawns or de-spawns and goes through another of its spawn points until all 4 have been completed and then it de-spawns for x amount of time.

Dirkee was just killed in Terrace of Makers 41, 40.8 at 11:25 pm. I seem to notice alot of these guys pop or are killed around 11:20 pm, or generally somewhere halfway between hours, going through these posts and personally killing Vyragosa myself. He quickly despawned afterwards, maybe like 15 seconds. I also recall someone who was looking for this thing saying that he saw a lvl 77 kill TLPD in Bor's Breath around 11:25 pm server last week. I was iffy about it but now it's starting to seem logical.

codekitten
is anyone 100% sure Dirkee isn't linked to the other two rares? he was spawned and killed on my server at 2:32am and that was pretty close to being exactly 4 hours from the last rare spawn (and that was the drake)
评论来自
drothar
Nothing is 100% certain, but we are 99% sure that Dirkee has nothing to do with the two drakes. We are also 99% sure that the drakes share a spawn timer and locations, and that the spawn timer is RANDOM. So everyone should stop trying to come up with the number of hours between spawns unless they have something remotely concrete.
in regards to phasing - it is possible to see TLPD without doing any quests and it is possible after doing every quest. Whether or not he is sometimes in one phase or another while alive is unknown.
For those of you on Magtheridon, the third one on the server died about an hour ago (2:30 am server). I'm on day 5 of almost nonstop hunting. Hopefully that confident Bratok fellow will share his wisdom with us before anyone else goes insane. Good luck to you all again.

Been searching for this on my server for 4 days now, for about 12 hours a day. Haven't seen anything yet, nothing alive or dead. Seems to be alot of alliance on my server taking the TLPD's routes. My methodical route follows a few of the maps posted before, and stopping for a few minutes at each hotspot. I asked a GM about it being bugged and he said its working fine and has already been looted on my server. He hinted slightly at the fact that the spawn time is very long. Can try to post a screenie if you guys want one.

No they did not. It was and is impossible for people to see different versions of the Isle's depending on how far you had progressed. Everyone saw and played in the same version fo the zone.
With Phasing its possible for you to be flying along with a buddy and have him disappear because he enters a different phase of a zone to you.

It has been tossed out and confirmed by a GM that there is no such phasing that affects finding the mob.
I'm not sure if this theory has been tossed out there but ...
"Time-Lost" ...
There have been reports of people seeing it both in and out of certain phases, as well as not being able to see it at all depending on the phase they're in. Is it at all possible that the spawn points and/or pathing differ between which "time" you're in?
I mean, it would make sense, and fit in more with the name of the drake correct? If it was just a rare mob sitting in the middle of Storm Peaks, it seems to lack that bit of Blizzard flair, something that kept it tied in. On top of that Storm Peaks is one of the main leveling areas where phasing is incredibly prevalent, moreso than any other area in Northrend.
Some people can see the Drake right off the bat and fresh into Storm Peaks, but it couldn't possibly be in areas with a higher density of flying adversaries, they couldn't survive it very easily (a general statement which stands to be corrected by gear and skill level of each individual player). There has been a report above that there was a complete inability to even see the player that killed the Drake, much less the drake, because of phasing.
I believe that the vital question is not just where it spawns and paths, but WHEN it spawns and paths, and I'm not talking about server time. I'm willing to test this theory, and will be completing a necessary quest in phasing and then keeping watch over the Engine. I will report back with screenshots and a detailed account.

How many rares are in storm peaks? Could all the rares share a respawn time with a % chance to spawn? Has anyone seen 2 rares up at once in storm peaks? Ive personally seen vyra twice and dirkee once
评论来自
nonentity
not this again....
Yeah, there are overall phasing issues, it seems IF you have a different phase at some locations because of quests you can pull the mob into your phase, but this quest itself doesn't make a difference, like in "it will only spawn in the phase that's started by this quest" or something.
That's because only Alliance got this particular quest(line), Horde got something similar but it does not affect this specifig area at all.
Do you honestly think they'll f*ck Horde over THIS much?
there are people who have done pretty much all quests in Storm Peaks that have never seen TLPD so far, and we have some who pretty much killed/saw TLPD right after they arrived, having completed no or nearly no quests at all. Doesn't seem to make a lotta difference....

3 Rares, Dirkee, Vyragosa and Time-Lost

Yeah, gotta agree there. Imo it's ridiculous that people who can't even use the damn t hing would steal it from people who can and spent a ludicrous amount on time camping it.
Honestly, of course I don't want to lose it to anyone, but if I were to lose it to someone, I'd rather it be someone at lvl 80, that also spent a lot of time on it, gathered and shared information, got epic flying and so on, OR someone who just got if by dumb luck, flying around.
What would really #$%^ me off, if some, as you call them, fairweather farmer, who doesn't even know the correct name of the mob, doesn't know sh*t about it ("Vyragosa doesn't drop the mount?"), figured he'd fly by, camp it for an hour and get it, easy as that, is neither lvl 80 nor got epic flying....got the kill/mount.
And there will be more of those every day (saw one myself yesterday who wanted to know what Vyragosa dropped, as I was camping the corpse - uhm, who gives a flying f*ck about Vyra's drop? unless they don*t know jack and think Vyra drops the mount...)....
I can live with losing it to some fellow farmer who knows the real value, or to someone getting it totally by dumb luck, but losing it to someone like that.... f*ck...
Personally, I don't get why you don't get epic flying if you got the money. No one stops you from using the 60% flying mount after you got epic flying and the 280% mount. I found normal flying to be horribly slow, by now even epic flying seems slow...

Vyra dead by me again. She was flying toward harpies/Valkyrion from Engine of the Makers.
To naysayers talking about 2 different chars. (Belf/Draenei) I like using my Orb of the Sindorei while questing and killing stuff :>
Also about the Dirkee and Vyra kills being so close- check my experience points and the time I encircled under the minimap.
Will upload map of where I killed them in a few minutes. Questions welcome.
EDIT: Map.

Lightgreen dot is where Dirkee was killed, black dots are where I killed Vyra.
Vyra was flying over the Engine heading south towards the harpies/Valkyrion.
I think we can basically see what Vyra's pat route is now. Over Valkyrion--->Library area south of Ulduar--->Engine--->Valkyrion and loop.
No sightings on TLPD for me as of yet!

Alysandra1
I believe your kill near the library means she spawned north of Valkyrion or maybe the 4th speculated unknown spawn point.
Your kill near the engine would be the spawn in the drake field.

Vyra spoted and killed 50, 51 on Draenor (US) 1:40 AM server. (West coast server) it was coming from the north. I personally did not follow Vyra but the guy who did told me he was was very agitated because he had followed her a long way trying to find a place he could tag her to kill (He was a enhancement shaman) I questioned him about where he followed her and this is the path he showed me. I am sorry I don't have a screenshot of the corpse at 50, 51 he decided he would skin it after showing me where it was killed >_>''

Hey guys, I gotta tell you something about TLPD...
Everything is alright about Vyra, we sure know everything about her and she spawns very often (often compared to TLPD) because she's needed for an achievement. I saw her 4 times in 5 days.
BUT TLPD does only spawn 3 times a week and he despawns after 10-15min. But he does share the same paths as Vyra and the same spawn points. I know that from my own experience, by other witnesses from beta test version and from the fact that if he would spawn more thant 3 times a week and for more than 15min, too many players would have got the mount.
The respawn delays are also totally random: you can see TLPD 2 times in 6 hours then nothing during 4 days.
Believe me or not, it's up to you, I really really think that's the truth.
I've been personnally desapointed when I went to the fact but it makes a lot of sense to me. Don't worry it's still possible to see TLPD if you follow Vyra's paths for hours or if you're very lucky: so it doesn't change anything...
Hope you'll believe me.

Hopefully should get another spawn soon, whether it be Vyragosa or TLPD.
Camping all 3 known spawns with 3 different accounts.
Hoping the chance of one of them spawning in the same place twice in a row is slime as I have this DK trying to camp it near me atm =)

Seriously, he couldn't find a spot to kill/pull her at any point of that long ass way.....? Combining high places+instant casts+slow fall beer I could think of a few possible places to pull her...
Not sure about believing that, but I've recently considered that we were wrong on the idea of circular routes (start=end) and this might fight that idea.
What if - there are the fixed spawn points we know about and also the routes, but he/she choose actually doesn't follow one specific route from that point, but could follow any route connected to that point?
And what if they don't fly circles, as in ie. start at Engine spawn, does the Brunnhildar->K3->Bor's Fall->Engine route but can also choose how to progress further, at "crossroads"?
For example he could spawn at Engine, follow the route Brunnhilder->K3->BF, but instead of going back to Engine, he could choose to then follow part of the Frosthold route, so along Bor's Breath, then again change routes, further up through Valkyrion, after that choose whether to fly further along to the Library, as in the Temple of Storms route, or choose to switch to the (supposed) route towards Ulduar, that is go towards and through Snowdrift Plains, and so on, despawn somewhere along the way?
Yeah, makes the whole thing even more complicated, but we've seen a few "reports" where the mob followed the overall "system" of routes, but seemed to change routes or combine routes.
In Seroko's post he seems to
start at Engine
follow the "classic" (Brunnh., K3 etc., altthough ccw) route
but then after the village at around 41, 70 he seems to switch routes, because if he was following the circular route we assume, he'd fly down BF, towards K3, ->Brunhildar, back to Engine.
-instead he seems to fly the Temple of Storms route now, till, following the classic version of that route, he'd fly over that little mountain towards Engine
- but again switches, to the supposed Ulduar/Terrace route, up to Terrace. I'm assuming he'd the fly down towards Engine, from there... who knows.
Might be a circular route after all, just mixing routes, or from there he could again change routes, fly back over that little hill and do the Temple of Storms route ccw. Who knows. Considering this possibility there might be tons of new routes.
The overall system of routes we got would still work imho, but you couldn't rely on him flying circles.
edit: considering he told you rather than you seeing her fly the route yourself I think you might have mixed up a little something, not much
http://www.wowhead.com/?maps=67:436594445592424600415609406621408633409644409654409664409675409685410697410706401708437390493456379724391710483438466415454396347433371732370718365700357687351673339671319664327666309664295660300669286652281636277623275609273596273580273566273553278539284526294514303497310481319469326458336456363417336444375429389425402425420386417400507504507487507469404409
would still be true to the overall course, but in line with previously "discovered" routes.

I personally did not follow her as I previously said in my post the guy said he saw her in that area just west of Brunnhildar heading south - Combining this information with information the screenshots on the earlier page (of the guy following vyra and screenshotting it) I made the very safe assumption she started in the Wyrm field he told me he quickly caught up with her in bors breath and made several "dismount and claim on the fall" attempts and kept failing, following her through bor's breath over valkyrion, north around the crash site turning east and then circling south where he claimed her on that little hill. I had him fly me through the path he said it took and that was the results, I have personally sit here watching camping for 12 days and it matches other information I have.
Draenor Kill statistics to my knowledge.
TLPD
1. Around the Nov-26th (This ones date and time isn't certain due to the start of the hunt and didn't feel the need to keep up) warlock kills at (37, 73) seeming to just "appear" in front of him he said.
2. Nov-30th around noon server time. (32, 64) patrolling regularly and seeing it there after just checking the area recently.
3. Dec-1st around 2 PM server time around (34, 65) heading east.
Vyra's I know of:
Dec-2nd 1:20 AM, At the wyrm fields.
Dec-3rd 2 PM, Bor's Breath
Dec-4th 2 AM edge of valkrion heading south
Dec-5th 1:40 AM terrace of the makers
Those are the ones i know of and seen there could of been more and yes it seems to be following a12 hour spawn time and I could of missed one at 2~ pm on the 5th but thats just my info I have currently.
edit: If it does have branching and he goes from node to node and can then go to any new node except the one he came from this would kinda be it i guess.

what the hell, where's my comment? Was posted earlier, I saw it, it's still in my post history - but don't see it now.
Long story make short:
The posted route doesn't fit ONE route but rather a MIX of routes. Something I was thinking about recently. We might be wrong with the circular routes.
Idea: fixed spawn points and route-system, but at spawn and at intersections they can choose which route to follow.
Let's say:
Spawns:
South of Valkyrion - Spawn 1
North of Valkyrion - Spawn 2
Engine - Spawn 3
Routes:
circle round Temple of Storms, Library, over Engine, back through BB - Route 1
Engine->Brunnhildar->K3->BF->Engine - Route 2
circle round Frosthold - Route 3
supposed Ulduar/Terrace route - Route 4, only know the terrace part of that so far
The posted route looks like he spawned at Engine, Spawn 3, then followed the classic Route 2 till BF, where, folllowing the route he'd fly down BF, towards K3 and so on.
But it seems he switched to Route 1, followed that till the Library, then switched to Route 4
From there on he might have flown back to Engine, making it again a circular route, though a new combination, longer, mixing several routes. Or, following this idea, he could have chosen to follow another route again, where to, nobody knows.
As always, hard to know how seriously to take the posted route. I find it hard to believe that as a shaman he did not find one spot to pull her along thta long as way. Either he followed her to know her route, great, or he made that up and just found her during the usual Terrace route. No way to know.

uhm, but that doesn't fit your route completely. You show him moving up the Terrace but by your description he would have continued following the ToS-route instead of Terrace.
By little Hill I mean the hill/mountain at 40, 47.
To make my point clear:
Red route is the one you showed (roughly), green one is the 'round Temple of Storms', over that little hill I was referring to. Of course the routes are in the air, just a quick something to visualize it.
http://img354.imageshack.us/my.php?image=route1bv0.jpg
edit: @your pic of the routes - nearly, but you missed the one I showed in green, over that little hill, down towards Engine and over it, further down into BB again. Also you don't have the Brunnhilar->K3->BF path in it. Not many reports on that one, but a few, and seeing as Brunnhildar seems to be part of it (saw Vyragosa come from, what I can only assume, was Brunnhildar, unless she's got a seperate spawn nearly at the eastern edge of the area of the blue proto-drakes).
Actually - should we rather go on assuming that they don't have spawn _points_ but rather areas? Like they can spawn anywhere in the "Wyrm Fields". or something like that. That could actually unite both Valkyrion spawn points into one "spawn area"... There are quite a few reports on them spawning pretty much in the same area, nearly at the same spots, but people who claim to have seen them _spawn_ provide slightly different coordinates.
Given the bad drawing distance of WoW such statements are relative of course.
Unless they "spawn" really close to you, well within that disance, which would be an actual "spawn" I think, it's hard to tell with a 100% certainty.
If they "spawn" farther away they might just have moved into your drawing distance and you might mistake it as a spawn because it fits the general area of a supposed spawn point.
But maybe the mob was actually coming towards your spawn point while doing another route.

Before saying TLPD can fly above Ulduar too, plz post screenshots to prove it plz.
I really don't think Ulduar is a part of TLPD's paths...
PS: where to get the slow fall beers?
评论来自
nonentity
We assume he flies over Ulduar because a few people have mentioned seeing him there, not many though and no screenshots unfortunately.
But seeing as until yesterday we had barely any screenshots or info on the actual Terrace route it was also just an assumption - which proved out to be correct. Might be the same for Ulduar. Might not be. Can't tell till someone is lucky enough to see him or Vyragosa spawn/fly around there.
It being a pretty long, so far unknown route would possibly account for some servers going without TLPD for much over a week (personally getting close to spending a week on camping this guy and haven't seen him or his corpse once nor, according to the script, has anyone else on my server) though. He might have actually spawned, but seeing that he doesn't spawn often, stay up for long and few people check this route/area he might just have spawned and despawned again without anyone knowing.
Also, considering the mob having some lil bit of story (being time lost, out of time, originally from the time of the Titans thus having some connection to the buildings of the Titans) a connection to Ulduar would make sense. Those theories a purely theoretical though, absolutely no proof for it, just something that occured to me and some other guys.

I have killed Vyragosa 7 times over the last 2 and a half days. All 6-14 hours seperate from eachother. Four times @ Bor's Breath, twice @ The Engine, and once North of Valkyron, heading towards Snowdrift.
Anyone know what the shortest time TLPD has spawned after a Vyra kill? I'm guessing 6 hours.

I have hunted this Drake for week now. 3-6 hours in day, without result. Today I decided to go and search it one more time.
TLPD spawned right next to me when I was herbing. He spawned directly 40 yards above the Valkyrian Southern gates. He started to move south, toward the harpies. I tagged drake in air, and used Slowfall Lager to avoid falling damage. Unfortunately when TLPD was at 15% health, my computer crashed >.<. 2 minutes later when i managed to log back in, it was gone. I headed to Bor's Breath and up towards to Engine of the Makers, and there my macro catched it again - Dead. And there it was, happy nelf druid riding on it.
I'm a little bitter now, can you imagine? Only if i were used my Spirit Wolves, it could be mine now.
Here's a printscreen how far it travelled in 2 minutes after its spawn. Valkyrian -> Towards Blue drakes, south of Engine of the Makers.

OK! Just recorded a Vyra kill on my server at 3:51 realm time. Spawned ontop of me at 29.65. Between Bors Breath and Valkyrion. Pretty easy fight as a Death Knight. Now just the wait... for TLPD...
EDIT - I can confirm that she is skinnable too :P might explain why corpse disappears so fast sometimes. Mwah.
评论来自

Yeah, Vyragosa is skinnable, known that for a while... unfortunately... -.-
Wanted to watch her despawn after she was killed less than a minute ago (at that time), a few minute later some dumbass druid came by and skinned her.
She was dead, I was clearly flying right next to her corpse, watching... for all he knew I could have killed her, making her _mine_ so why is he skinning my kill when I'm clearly right next to it, for whatever reason, that should not concern him... damn <expletive>.
Imo TLPD should also be skinnable, don't see any reason why he should not be.

Been camping around here on and off for about week (including a 14 hour stretch) and have only seen Vyragosa spawn once at 29 65. Have not seen TLPD or the other rare at all. The reins still haven't updated on the server cache. so at least I can take solace in no one else getting him either :)

I've been staring at Storm Peaks too long watching for this thing. I had a dream about it last night, where there was a Blizzard employee whose job it was to randomly throw a dart at a map on the wall during the day, and that would give them the time and place where this thing would spawn.
Yep, I'm slowly going nuts. This is my 6th day, and only seen Vyragosa's corpse once. *sigh*

Had something similar, dreamed I was on hunting this thing when suddenly the script worked, the ugly hateful red Retrieving item information became purple and I was happy, beause even though I had not found it, someone had, proving he CAN spawn.... then I woke up and it's back to staring at red Retrieving item information.... -.-
Btw, actually anyone mentioned the script specifically in a conversation with a GM? I'd really like to send another ticket, asking them if the damn thing's really not bugged, as their was not a single loot in 6 days. But they'll want to know how I know that for a fact and then I'll have to mention the script. Is it ok with Blizz, legal, whatever?

Somehow my qhelper showed the target/area to find TLPD in a complete different area as a couple of hours ago...
First it was at Snowdrift plains and now its the south part of Valkyrion...
I hate this search for this TLPD specially since i know i found him while i was questing here but didnt want to atack him since i thought i wouldn't be able to kill him -_- I saw him while i was doing Q's in the Valkyrion area (the egg destroy quest in the pool next to the village)
Anyhow guys! gl in searching for him, i know im probably the only one lf him except for 2 ally's on this server (i know this since i camped these spots for the whole day now (': )

Confirmed: Makers Terrace rout confirmed
I was question and my macro hit Vyragosa, and i was pretty happy. 2nd time i tagged her, and EXACTLY 24 hours after the first time. She was high up and me being a melee i couldnt get her somewhere attackable because she is ranged, so i followed her. This was probably the best decision i could make, because i found the Terrace route. I found her at Bor's Fall, and started there. Here is the map.(
Map
) And for you skeptics here are 2 SS showing land marks and map showings of vyragosa. (
SS 1
) (
SS 2)
As you can see, the 2nd SS is just of the map in front of the same image.
I think it is safe to say Vyra and TLPD share a pat route.
I hope this helps, and maybe in the next 24hr i will get lucky. I followed Vyra for 5 mins until i could get her, and her kill location is 50.61, 36.5
The location i pulled her from was roughly 46, 39
Good luck hunting!

great... another dead Vyragosa, north of Valkyrion, no way to tell where exactly she spawned.
Switching camp to the lake at the end of BB, since I've started camping at Engine I have missed at least 3 Vyragosas (that I know of).... thinking that everyone of them could have been a TLPD I missed instead.... *shudder*....
Also - no stupid blue drakes here that make camping the best spot in the area or anywhere else other than above the Engine a royal pita....
Damn, I'm nearly considering buying Wotlk for my second account so I can put my lvl 34 twink at one of the spots (and be it as a ghost) to increase my chances slighty......Oo C'mon TLPD before I actually do that...

To save me flicking through 498 posts. Can anyone please verify that TLPD flies Counter-Clockwise OR Clockwise around the Temple of Storms (If he's taking that route)? Or is it randomly decided when he spawns? Thanks.

That makes sense. Basically if somebody that has the area phased pulls a mob, and then you show up afterwards, you won't be able to see what they killed. Probably works for any mob, but still worth looking in to.

Totally random theory:
Maybe th TLPD doesn't spawn on a timer...maybe it spawns across servers. So, for instance, I finally get lucky and down him on my server. The corpse sticks around 30 minutes, and then he spawnsrandomly on another server in the same place I killed him. He tracks a ways, someone kills him, and he respawns in that spot on another server.
Kind of out there, but it would explain the erratic nature.
评论来自
Grenthelad
It could be true, but its a very wild idea.
I think it works more like this...
Once Vyragosa is killed, there is a x chance that TLPD
could
spawn at point y
The spawn timer itself is bout 6hrs plus, so you have z chance for it to spawn 6hrs after Vyragosa was killed on your server, and if it doesnt the chance for it to spawn increases every hour until x is spawned again.
In other words, if you kill Vyragosa on your server, it all comes down to x. if x becomes TLPD, the rest follow with when and where.
I could be wrong but this appears to be the case as i have now killed Vyragosa twice
exactly
24 hours apart.
Once again, it is a theory but a very logical one at that.
Happy hunting, i hope this helps!

Some of you people have the most wildest of ideas. You're making it sound like theres some big pre-req before you can get this drake.
It's pretty simple. Vyragosa has a 90% chance to spawn while T-LP-D has a 10% chance to spawn in any of the pathing areas they share. There is no phasing issues which cause problems with you being able to see it, you don't need any rep etc. It's just random.
I'm one of the first few who got the drake and after posting what I knew on here(Page 1) I've gotten the most random messages in game asking me for my 'secret'. Can you believe some guy asked me if you needed to be exalted with the Brood of Nozdormu to actually see this drake? I was shocked at that rumor and some of the others that have been started. I mean I'm a Death Knight and I got the second Drake on my server so its obvious I don't have rep with anything special. Oh and guess who got the first Time Lost? Another Death Knight whos my guildie.

Ouch, that was me who asked you about the rep of Brood of Nozmordu. Can't blame me for wondering if a rumor was true and investigating it bro. I didn't ask for your "secret", I was just trying to get more info. You seemed like a nice guy, but I guess I was wrong. And there ARE confirmed phasing issues just FYI. Just because you got lucky enough to find it with no problems, doesn't mean that there aren't "secrets" with this mounts script.

i have a teory about the spawn of this mob, try to test it...
Vyragosa-Dirkee-Time-Lost Proto Drake these are the 3 rare mob of SP.... (we suppose that they are tied up among them)
i have killed "Vyragosa" at 00:20 after two hours at 02:24 i have killed "Dirkee" at 04:30 i have killed already Vyragosa..
Granted that Time-Lost Proto drake have a X% of probability that spawn after the cycle, we have:
Vyragosa (after 2h)-> Dirkee (after 2h) ->X% Time-Lost or 100%-X% that spawn already Vyragosa & the cycle restart
In this way, we can make sense of the long period of spawning that can have been varying for the 6 hours to 3 days of which it speaks to many forums.....
I hope to have made the idea of my reasoning and you excuse for my very bad English ^_-

For people who look for dirkee and vyragosa while waiting on TLPD dirkee's spawn time is 36 hours, i killed him Dec 4, ~7:45 am and again on Dec 5, ~7:45 again, he body despawns within a couple minutes so if u see dirkee dead made sure to check back int he same zone 36 horus later.

P.S.
- maybe some helpful info for you guys, Vyragosa has been seen everywhere Time-Lost has been seen and Time-Lost has been seen everywhere Vyragosa has been seen. None of the dragons have been spotted in a position that the other dragon hasn't been. This maybe helpful in getting a better understanding of how time-lost works and the co-relation between the two dragons.

Found Vyragosa 2:15am December 6th on Stormreaver US
She spawned above Brunnhildar (Thats right, spawned, when she appeared in idle position in the air and stood there non-hostile for a couple of seconds and began to move) and continued through the Foot Steppes and cut through a gap in the mountains over Sifreldar Village over Bor's Fall all the way down to K3 and was killed over the Mine Fields of Garm's Bane
Took plenty of pics of flight height and her path

I finally got HIM!
I was camping at 30, 65 BB, half awake with my macro going, 6AM Server on the dot the macro strikes him, Laptop Speakers blaring Whispers and Chat sounds, (It's an Addon, that no one should be without)
I spring to action, too bad the macro found him but I couldnt see him anywhere. Franticly flying around searching for him but to no avail, I loose track of him.... I began to fly his PAT and for 9 minutes or so, still no sight of him .
Back at BB and insanely mad that I just lost Him, I decided to head towards Valkyrion for one last check, just as I was crossing into Valkyrion the macro hits gold again! Shaking with excitement I keep moving forward till our eyes met! Nearly having a heart attack and shaking like mad, I spam Ice Lance as fast as I can until the spell finally got within range and my Ice Lance struck Time-Lost Proto Drake, Hes all MINE!
Being dismounted after casting Ice Lance I'm falling for what felt like forever, no problem being a mage and all I go to click Slow Fall, to my horror I can't click it! My hands were shaking too much for me to even concentrate on a single button... I landed with a thud and to my amazement I had 500 HP left, theres still a chance!
I finally came to my senses and the battle had begun. First things first, 500 HP, CRAP! I popped my Water Elemental and cast Ice Block and let them duke it out for a bit. After letting my Water Elemental get a good amount of aggro I pop out of Ice Block and pop a Runic Healing Potion, too bad that still wasn't enough and I didn't have full HP and I'm not risking low HP on a PVP Server period.
With the Water Elemental and Time-Lost Proto Drake still duking it out I then popped Evocation and wait for my HP to be full. (Thank you Evocation Glyph!) Once full I downed him with ease. I can finally finish leveling to 80!
Four Vyragosa kills one week and about 40+ Hours invested has finally payed off! (Still no Dirkee sighting yet, Like I care =P) Pretty sure this is the server first on Anub'arak.
http://i322.photobucket.com/albums/nn433/xxruxx/WoTLK/WoWScrnShot_120608_063807.jpg
For anyone thats interested the macro setup I used was
/tar Dirkee
/tar Vyra
/tar Time
/stopmacro
/tell YOURNAME> %t <
Hot key it to your Mouse wheel or combine that with a laptop touch pad thats set to coast and you have a never ending targeting spam.
Don't give up guys and keep checking Wowhead if your feeling down about not seeing him, this board really does pick your hopes up when you're feeling down.

Just had a reported spawn of him on Frostmane-EU, source claiming him to be at footsteps heading east to brunnhildar. The source already had his mount so he told me this after letting it out of sight, not really beeing interrested in it, and i was unable to find either dragon nor corpse, even tho starting the search in the area and what i think are the paths connected to that one (brunnhildar->BF->K3 / Engine->BB->valkyrion) asap i couldnt find anything
Not seen anyone mention anything in main about him, nor have the 5 or so alliance i assume camping him in the area left(which i would do following a reported kill, pretty much no need to be in that area the next few hours atleast) so not really sure what to think
Time frame for this would be:
Sighting reported to me at ~13:55
Posting this, still no sighting of him, dead or alive, nor anyone else mentioning him ~14:30
Leaving the possibylities, that either a) killed and skinned(is this even possible? heard both ways) without anyone saying anything, atleast hordeside, cant say about alliance, but the people camping BB during the whole night are still there b) despawn or whatever now happends c) still around in some obscure location. Find it hard to belive he should still be alive after a good half an hour
Gonna continue my search atleast, 1 Week and counting
One day, one day....
While this might not add anything to the discussion, its a lifesign atleast :)

Thank you wnxpi3, I was about to give up when I read your comment.
I'm thinking sometimes that TLPD is a fake and that sreenshots are fake too but when I see his golden scails and his blue mouth I really really want it !
Well I keep checking, standing between Valkyrion and BB hoping my macro will tagg him someday.
come on TLPD come on to me !

I had a seperate PC set up at work directly next to my work computer. Every spare second I had I would be flying around the known spawn areas spamming my macro.
Two weeks ... 8 hours a day. No sightings, no corpse ... nothing .. then BOOM my macro locks on him in Bors Breath !
I couldn't believe it ! First thing that came to mind was "omg he's gonna despawn" and "zomg a random Death Knight is gonna tag him". My fingers were literally shaking ..... I play a Rogue so I demounted n tried to tag him but missed ... nearly died from fall damage LOL
At this point I was crapping in my own pants, but mounted up n caught up to him near Valk ... pwnd the crap out of him and seeing those Reigns in my backpack was just total and utter "Pwn".
Woot !

Sigh, I knew it would spawn while I was asleep or I was afk. Pretty sure it spawned at Bor's Breath around 9am server time. One of my posts I set up with AHK spammed party chat and tells to my main like no tomorrow for at least a good minute. Not sure if he was actually killed or not or despawned.

I saw the Time Lost Drake just now. He was flying towards the Engine of the Makers over Brunhildar Village. I (stupidly) decided to buff then attack. I aggroed one of the stormpeak worms and managed to lose him... I flew all over looking for our bronze friend and decided to check IN the Engine of the Makers. Sure enough, he was making his way to the bottom. Then... despawned.
I'm thinking a viable strategy would be to camp the engine, as that may be where all the drakes go to. Pure speculation on that part. Sadly, I was panicked so I didn't get screenshots...
Just to add some data to this: I have done no Storm Peaks quests and most of my Wrath reps are friendly/honored, so he really is just a rare spawn.
Edit: Right after I finished submitting this post I decided on one last sweep. Found his corpse around all of the Stormpeak Wyrms. Perhaps he doesnt despawn, just teleports? That or I somehow missed him flying back out of the engine. I don't know what to think now. Corpse was at 46, 61.

Personnally I camp between Valkyrion and Bor's breath and that's where I saw 4 Vyra in 5 days. I sometimes patrol to the engine and to north Valkyrion path but I sometimes wonder if I should better camp at the engine or in that north Valkyrion path.
6 days of camping right now and still no TLPD, I'm becoming crazy, I see him everywhere, I hear roars everytime, when some friend whispers me I think it's my macro...but it's all my imagination
I hope i'll say someday: "my macro targeted him when I was almost asleep, my hand was shaking, i had only 100hp but I got it ! omg omg omg..." (or something like that)

The first TLPD was received 3 weeks to the day after the wotlk release day on our server. I know at least 4 people that have been camping its route almost constantly, so it must have one massively variant spawn timer. Gratz to the ally shaman who got it.

Ok, just got some, wont call it new, but interresting information
In response to my earlier post, ~20 posts back, it turned out TLPD was never killed, not by horde nor by alliance (script used to see that reins was never looted) this means that _if_ the report i got by him beeing up is true, which i dont doubt for a moment, i will double and tripplecheck with source tho, we got something interresting happen.
Assume he spawned at, or right before i got that report of sighting at ~13:55, the "believed" despawn timer at ~10-15 mins would make him despawn at around 14:05-14:10. And we can know (again assuming) that he wasnt killed since script turned out nothing, leaving despawn as the only option, ofc there is the chance of him being alive for a good 6hrs on a high-pop server, but i highly doubt this.
And now we got a confirmed kill at ~20:10, about 6hrs sharp after what most likely was a despawn due to him not beeing killed, or something else is at work here. This, to me pretty much "confirms" that there indeed is a despawn or something the like, but also that he respawns again, or atleast can respawn again fairly soon after this despawn. Or he hanged out at one of "those places he like" for 6hrs and noone found him.
Some "new" information, or confirmation of old information here i hope
Edit: For the record this kill was reported just north of Brunnhildar, at the blue wyrms

ok this might have been mentioned already but no way i'm goin through 500 posts...
my take on the "Time Lost" part of the dragon and the GM mentioning that he blinks to a different spot and or is only available for a certain amount of time is that the TLPD blinks to different phases after a certain amount of time has passed.
for example, he spawns and is in the phase for people that have not done any of the quests then after he hasn't been killed for an X amt of time, he blinks to a phase where people have done all the quests in storm peaks and so on and so forth. whether he blinks to a different area in a different phase or to the same are in a different phase is beyond me lol...
this way he is available to everyone but kinda not lol...you could be right next to it but in the wrong phase LOL
just a wild guess... some feed back or changes/corrections that can be made to my ideas?
my idea of phasing might be wrong too lol but i thought this was how phasing worked lol if different types mobs (like the revenants and dead iron giants in the frostfield lake or whatever) can be in the "same place" but not be seen by some players and be seen by some players depending on what part of a quest chain ur on then y not the TLPD eh?
these are the spots i've seen vyragosa in in the last week and a half...my kill is the one near brunhildar village coming up from brunhildar
the other 2
once coming down from frosthold mountain
once going north in bor's breath
http://www.wowhead.com/?maps=67:470623321667304669
it is almost confirmed vyra and TLPD share a path
the 2 in bor's breath fit into a path but the one near brunhildar is a completely out of the way...some how make a path?

I've spent some 12 hours looking for TLPD finally found him at 6:02 sever time at the 46.60. Sadly I wasn't the only one, and ended up losing him to a rouge.
7:23 sever time, same day (12/6/08) I found Vyra flying at 23.3/60.4 headed strait for the Valkyrion town. Flying north west having just come over the mountain south of Bro's Breath and north east of Frosthold.
This leads me to believe that the spawn time in either one and half hours or totally random. That or they don't actually share spawn times, which is against popular belief that they do.
Sadly once again i lose out, didn't manage to grab Vyra thanks to a lock standing on the roof of a Valkyrion building on the southern entrance.

Got it on the Archimonde server (server first) tonight about 4 hours ago.
http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=13275280115&sid=1
I wasn't even looking for it, I was coming out of The Inventor's Library and it flew right past me going East. I followed it around the mountain going South towards the Engine. It flew directly over the Engine and I was able to aggro it after trying quite a bit, and we went to the ground.
It was indeed an Elite, and put up a fight. I was only 79 at the time. Wasn't able to mount it for about 2 hours until I hit level 80.
It also dropped 25G, 20x Frostweave Cloth, and a blue BoE neckpiece.
Good luck hunters!

I got it around an hour ago. he was flying really high, from Frosthold towards Bor's Breath going around the mountain. I saw him from a distance and I tried to tag him from edge of the mountain, but he was too far, so I followed him frantically not knowing if a horde or alliance had also seen him, i couldnt find a spot to land and I couldnt risk it going any further into quest territory so I jumped off, hit him, landed with 1/4 health, used all my cooldowns everything.
The funny thing is, an alliance character got his this morning. I usually had a quick fly around the paths around 3 times a day and often found him camping the area. I should also mention, i only ever saw vyragosa once and she was dead near valkyrion.
Good Luck.

Regarding the roar.... I was just parked in a prime location (near Valkyrion) directly on the path. I had WoW open in the background with the sound on, expecting to either hear a roar for the spawn or perhaps it will pat into me.
After about an hour... I HEARD THE ROAR! I excitedly switched back over to WoW and started looking all around.... and it was a hunter's corehound pet. lol.
I strongly suspect there is no roar for the spawn. No other mob in the entire game has a sound effect to mark its spawning. I think the roar is nothing but people randomly hearing drakes fighting or hunter pets at coincidental times. It's just like how people used to think the "look out below" yell was related to TLPD, until someone brought screenshot proof it's just part of a quest.

Actually, I've found that this macro (a slight modification) works much better.
/cleartarget
/tar Dirkee
/tar Vyra
/tar Time-lost
/stopmacro ,
/run RaidNotice_AddMessage(RaidBossEmoteFrame,"THERE IT IS! KILL IT!", ChatTypeInfo)
**Okay, alternatively, instead of using the /run RaidNotice as the last line of the macro you can google some of the "PlaySoundFile" and pick a sound file you'd want to hear if your target the mobs. Just paste that as the last line of your macro and delete the /run RaidNotice because I don't think you have enough character space to have both.
First of all, it clears any current target you may have. Couldn't tell you how many times I forgot to unclick on someone, went to hit my macro and got a tell from myself... :)
Secondly, if your target is dead - you'll still target it, but the macro will stop and not continue to the warning part.
Third, instead of sending yourself a tell, this will pop a message up on the center of your screen if all of the conditions are met.
Hope this helps!
-Z.
*EDIT* Changed the macro from /tar Time to /tar Time-lost. Was flying over the engine of the makers and a Tauren was fighting at the abandoned camp. My macro went off and I keep looking at the ground, sky etc... Took me a moment to realize what I'd targeted. Curse you Timescape! :P
**EDIT** Added the information about PlaySoundFile.

for the 3rd day in a row while camping my spot (its mine cuz noone else is bothering to camp it, just fly by's) vyragosa spawned right in front of me. so if they do indeed share spawn points its just a matter of time till i get mine. i've spent 18+ hours there today and been pooping stackers to stay awake hoping it will spawn soon. afraid to sleep weekend is almost over and it hasnt spawned this week. it would have been looted if it had seeing how there almost always 50+ ppl camping all around storm peaks for it. noone showed up to skin it and exactly 25 minutes went by before corpse despawned.

Finally got my drake! It spawned at 6:01am EST on Undermine (PVE)
After chasing it full circle around the Frosthold Mountain
(not the actual name of mountain, but has Frosthold Alliance Base on it)
I finally got it to aggro me on the small ledge of a cliff!
This has been my 4th sighting this week since server came up on Tuesday.
All my sightings have been on or around this mountain. All my sightings have been between midnight and early morning hours. and I checked the corpse uptime, it stays up exactly 30mins of kill.
Im open for any questions anyone has, Just PST in game.
Happy farming! :)

Bagged him Friday 12-5, 2:10pm @ 27/62 (he was flying south) on chromaggus. I had just gone thru the area less then a min before and nothing, possible spawn area? Figured since some of the info here helped my search, I`d give back. When I killed him it was 16.5 hrs. after my last confirmed vyragosa sighting. Just at the front of the valk village. Tagged him in the air with a moonfire and then used the slow fall brew avaliable from the relics. He wasn`t up that high when I targeted him over the village. I`d been watching and tracking for just under 2 weeks. No more then a couple hrs a day. Tried to guess routing times based on intervals after reset. (Wary of peeps saying they downed him just to get you out of the area.) In that time I`d seen vyra dead twice (both times at the turn before the valk village. No sightings on the tlpd til the day I got him. Pic showing place and coords/time of the down. GL

Not sure what it's worth, but on 12/7 on Gorefiend I saw TLPD get killed around Frosthold (27,71 ish) and then had a friend that said he killed Vyra about 90 minutes later. If this is true, it either means their spawns are unrelated, or can have a completely random spawntimer, seeing how some people report days w/o a sighting.

I am working on a ridiculous and implausable theory for my own amusement as I go slowly mad waiting for this to spawn and be successfully tagged by me. Has there been any sighting, confirmed or at least not easily debunked, of TLPD or Vyra in the southern Thunderfall region?

Had just flown over Brunnhildar Village on my way to Dun Niffelem for the dailies and the Time-Lost rare flew right in front of me. I was so stunned I almost let him get away, but managed to aggro, pull him down into the ice field and finish him off just as a Death Knight that had been hunting him came up. I felt sorry for the poor guy (said he had been camping potential flight paths for days) but I am quite happy with my seriously cool new mount.

ugh! it's such a pain on my server to find out if either dragon has spawned or not -.- for the people who have camped the area for days they tell you it hasn't spawned since restarts, and then you have other people saying a alli got it a hour ago. I mean is it really that bad that you have to lie when someone asks a simple question of if it spawned yet?
Then you have the people making fun of all the people hunting the dragon.. what ticks me is one of them ran into the drake... irony of it all..
oh and don't forget the random person who was asking about it before yelling out "OMG I FOUND IT" then said a location and probably laughed till he was blue in the face at all the people flocking to that spot xP (i didnt go cause if it was there, not way in heck i was gonna tag it 1st xD )
~mini rant sorry xP
its more of bothering me i haven't seen any corpse yet at all without completing the quests and with completing all quests O.o; I know its rare but i'd expect to see a corpse with all my random flying abouts.

Script suddenly started working for me now, it didn't work 2 hours ago (on mannoroth). Never heard anything about anyone finding it, though of course they could have just not told the world about it.
Does the script suddenly working mean there is a 100% guarantee that someone got the TLPD in the past 2 hours? Or is this unclear too?

News on the Itemmacro you can use to "find" the Timelost:
/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");
I talked with a GM about it, he said:
when you use this macro and click the item, it shows "retrieving item information" the mob is not killed and lootet
you cant use the macro to detect the mob, it has to be looted, KILLED to work.
Macro works = mob is killed, you are to late
macro doesnt work = mob is not killed yet this week, but doesnt say it is spawned right now or not.

I hope this will be helpful, ill check around for time-lost proto drake between 23:00 - 00:00
Maybe proto drake really spawns some hours after dead of vyragosa :)

Was sitting at the crossroads today between Bor's Breath and The Foot Steppes when this HUGE dragon flies under me coming form behind. It was Vyragosa. I followed her West towards Valkerie. As soon as we got to the point of the pass I pulled her down and burned her down at 2:47pm Server.

I will be sitting here nonstop until TLPD shows up. Hopefully the rumor of 6 hour respawn is true and I can confirm it. Anyhow, I will update this as soon as I happen to see his corpse or I get my new drake! Best of luck and happy hunting!

I know there isn't a confirmed respawn timer. Nor is there a confirmed note that Vyragosa and TLPD share a spawn point. I was merely saying that the rumor is 6 hours and in some other cases people think it could be as long as once a week. I understand this however, I will be sitting here nonstop until I see him again. If it is exactly 6 hours I will pass the info along and hopefully help someone else out. Unless they are on my server also :P

Before I get started, I have one question for the community. Can anyone who has seen him path through the dip beside the Crash Site post a screen showing estimated altitude and point of entry? I know it's not optimal but I was considering AFK'ing there when I couldn't fly around and hopefully hear him aggro on me as he passes through.
FWIW I confirmed a corpse on Lightninghoof US 2:00 PM server time. Despawned at 2:08 PM. Have neither seen Dirkee nor Vyra but also not looking for them. IMO TLPD is the coolest mount in game. <3 the Argent Skytalon and if it were possible I'd buy/ride one exclusively even if it was 60% and my hunt would be over.

From what I read in the 600 comments here I think these are his routes more or less and at engine he can go wherever he wants even if the paths loosely connect there, although it sounds like some paths he prefers more than others:
Map
I believe his spawns are where his paths connect: the cave at Snowdrift, the lake in Bor's Breath, frozen waterfall east of Frosthold, and the engine (over/in?). I know there's times he appears to spawn in thin air but we all know the game has drawing issues. My PC is far from mediocre and half the time I don't see a mob until I've flow past it or unless I stop for a few seconds. Also I don't think you can target something until your client picks it up (visible or via combat log).
If you are going to camp for TLPD I would camp the waterfall or the engine. Either spot will have you at 3 of his 4 path intersections, either missing the unknown Ulduar or Frosthold path. The paths through the engine are a bit spread out, so the waterfall might be the de facto best spot for outright camping if you don't want to move around.
If you intend to fly around, this is the route I would go. You cover all 4 intersections (spawn points?) and skip the out of the way spots he seems to not be killed at often. However I would not fly this unless you are the only one looking for him (not likely). If you want to change your direction I'd do a southern sweep through Bor's over the waterfall in doing so.
Map
IMHO he seems to be tagged regularly in Valk because that is a high traffic area so he sometimes finds his way there if he does not despawn first. Most likely from the K3 path. My theory is he prefers the K3 and/or Frosthold path to stay out of sight as much as possible. Of course, rare spawn might just be rare.

I'm still waiting on the spawn of this mount this week on Black Dragonflight. I saw Vyragosa killed last night at ~9:30 PM EST. Has been almost 24 hours and so far no report of spawn and I've been here for quite a few hours. I have been camping several spots and so far haven't seen anyone else in these spots so my guess is I'm the only one looking for him right now. When I saw Vyragosa killed he was killed on the top of one of the houses in Valkyrion. I went afk for a sec and then came back and hit my macro and thats when it hit right on him. I almost had the tag on him but another DK beat me to it.

I caught the Time-Lost Proto Drake about a week after the expansion came out, and was the first on my server to have one. The Funny thing was that i was able to aggro it on my 60% flying mount about 4 hours after i bought the Cold weather flying ability at lvl 77. While i was questing in Storm Peaks i decided to do a little searching for this rare creature but gave up about 10 min in cause i felt skeptical about catching it, because many people unlike me had the epic flying skill already making it much easier to catch this drake. While i was slowly flying over the gaping hole in the ground also known as "The Engine of the Makers" i spotted the drake flying about 50 yards above the ground.(so for everyone whose looking way above ground u'll never find it.). Once spotting this rare creature, the race for servers first time lost proto drake begun. since i had a slow flying speed it took me about 5 long ass, sweaty, shakey, hyperventalating, min to catch up with this drake. The drake's speed is about 60%.The drake basicly did a semicircle around the Temple of Storms and made a u turn at the terrace of the makers which was the place where i killed it. I dont know exactly where it goes after it makes the u turn (try looking at other peoples experiences). But i hope ,my info on this drake's flight path helps u guys out.

From what i've seen the drake hasn't spawned since restarts on my server o.O; or if it has its been no where anyone thought of looking before it despawned. As far as I can tell it's not been looted at all this past week/weekend /ley sigh
lol slight edit: right after posting this Vyra patted and was killed at 45,60 cords (blue proto drake field).

I think that the only way to know for sure if it has anything to do with phasing of any kind, whether it be pulling the mob into a different phase by completing a quest or anything of that sort, is to have two people in different phases and find either the drake or the corpse and see if both can see it or only one. If only one person can see if, it would definitely symbolize something having to do with phasing.
Also, I have still been flying along possible routes for the last 9 hours and haven't found anything. No Vyra, no TLPD, and no Dirkee. This is really really frustrating as I haven't seen anyone with the mount on my server, whether it be horde or alliance, and I have yet to even hear about a spawn. Server is Black Dragonflight. Oh and the server query comes up as "Retrieving item information" in red.

I was up all night waiting on the spawn. I actually dozed off. I decided to go to bed. Came back into the office to land and hearth. I just happened to click my macro and I got a hit on Vyra. She was heading west along Bor's Breath. I Avenger Shield her, but she wouldn't come down so I had to divine shield to make her go melee.
8 hours later, I get a 2nd hit on her, only she's flying north, down the mountan she usually pats around. Much harder to kill her that time because my bubble was on CD and as a prot pally, you have limited ranged capabilities. The time I downed her this time was at 3 PM. Oddly, it was exactly 8 hours between both kills and in the same general area. I believe she doesn't have an exact spawning area, but can spawn w/in a certain range of one area.
I've had people mention that Vyra has been seen patting around the blue proto drakes.
I get on about 10 server and no reports of any mobs spawning at all. Not till after 2 AM server did I hear that someone downed Dirkee. I didn't see the corpse, but the source was reliable.
I'm not sure if Dirkee is effected at all by the timers of the other two mobs, but I really hope he's not.
It also seemed that TLPD won't spawn until at least a day or so goes by. Because she was downed about a day or two after her last sighting.

Right so, I don't know if anyone knows but...
Is TLDP classified as a dragonkin or beast? Would help me slightly if I knew whether of the two it's classified as or if it's classed at all? (Me being a hunter, y'see..)
3 days hunting, sitting on a house at the southern gate of Valkyrion watching the gate opening and down Bor's Breath.. God I hate this rare already. -_-
Anyway, a huge thanks to the peeps who've been busting their asses out there for us believers :P

that doesnt mean it hasnt spawned just that it wasnt spotted and killed. most likely the despawn timer theory is true. so on low pop servers it could be awhile before u start seeing someone flying around on the coolest mount in the game.

Thank you everyone for your insite, macro's and screenshots, it's been very helpful. I myself have been hunting this drake for 6 days now. Killed Vyra myself 3 days ago, and heard Vyra was killed again about 3 hours ago. According to the macro provided no one has looted it yet, so that keeps me going. Today will be very rough though seeing as how tomorrow the servers reset.
The path I use is simply circling Engine of the Makers, going through Bor's Breathe (heading south) and coming back up through Brunnhildar Village. Occasionally I'll fly over to Valkyrion. Only spotted Vyra in Bor's Breathe though, which is why I'm drawn to camping that area. I'll let ya know how things go.
Happy Hunting. :D

So - how on Earth are you to know which phase state you are in?
Instead of "despawning" it may merely be leaving your phase and entering another.
I think the phasing stuff was cool, especially with Ice Crown, the DK storyline and such... but if this is the case, phasing just became so UNCOOL.

(nvm the chinese, the loc is right above the middle of the hotkey bars)
Been looking for it for more than a week on and off. Longest camp was around 12 hour straight which was when I gave up and started taking it casually. Have seen vyra 4 times and killed her personally twice. I decided to take a patrol around its route after spending some time camping the resist recipes and I was so excited when my macro hit 'golden' that I didn't notice which direction time-lost was heading. It was northeast of K3 when I found it and I had no problem dragging it down for the kill as a retradin.
I followed the map someone drawn above:

On Kel'thuzad someone finally got it after a week of it not being reported on the server cache.
So I think the respawn timer is a random timer between server maintenance.
All possible spawn points in SP on KT is pretty much camp'd by someone anytime.
And all the GM saying it's a very very rare spawn without hinting on the actual time.

So this morning I finally saw him killed, unfortunately it wasn't by me. The exact location was right next to the waterfall near the lake in Bor's Breath. I logged on and hit my macro as it struck gold, however just as it struck gold, it showed him die. So unfortunately for me, I missed it by mere minutes. Due to the server maintenance tonight I'm debating whether to camp any of the spots and for how long, because this is the first time the drake has been killed and looted since the last server restart. Here is hoping for one of those very rare 6 hour spawns. Oh I forgot to mention that the time was 11:38 AM EST server time.

i am not completely sure if this is all facts(this is just what i heard from a different person)
TLPD was killed on my server at 9:19 AM server time south of valkyrion...heading south...
this was just an hour before i woke up...in the exact same place i was camping about 7 hours before...i've been camping for this drake for about 9 days on and off while i have nothing to do or i'm doing homework...no glimpse of the corpse or the drake myself...it's just the macro and atlas loot is working now so i'll just believe what this person is telling is the truth...but as for the spawn timer...i am going crazy as the macro for the link did not work starting from last tuesday server maint til today which means it hadn't spwned in 6 days...or maybe even more as i didn't know about the macro before that time...for the first 3 days i didn't see a corpse or an excited horde so either i assume it had a 9 day CD this time or some ally took it...i've been talking to both allies and horde and they haven't told me (to their knowledge) of ne one getting the drake recently except for the one this morning...i am on a pretty high populated server and i see many pple looking for the drake so i don't believe that it would not have stayed alive for very long after it has spwned which leads me to believe that it may have an even longer spawn timer than everyone is thinking...? just speaking from my experience...

Vyra was killed (by me) at 28, 48 in Snowdrift Plains. She was flying south towards Valk. So I would say she spawned near the north of Snowdrift Plains, and started to pat south.
She was killed at 10:00 Pm Server Time (Bloodhoof)

It dropped about an hour ago, and I just flew past where all the Blue Proto-drakes are and scanned the area abit to see only a druid farming the Blue drakes for their skins. A min or two later in general chat that same druid was typing in caps," HOLY CRAP I JUST KILLED THIS RARE AND HE DROPPED A MOUNT" I was hoping it wasn't true but sure enough right on the southern end of the Engine of Makers there he was, Dead of course.
So I asked him how he saw it and he said it spawned flying upwards from the cave where all the Blue drakes flew around heading over the Engine of makers. Assuming he takes the same flightpath as Vyragosa , from there he would of turned inbetween the Broodmothers nest and the mountain next to it down into where the frozen lake begin.
I hope that helps in some way, because everyones assumption of where the general flightpath and locations are striking the same.

He was killed at 27,60 @ 4:10AM.

Next day. I pulled an all nighter (not much of a sleeper). There were no spawns at all. Well, Dirkee spawned and was downed at 2 AM, but from what I understand, he is independent of Vyra and TLPD.
Nothing else spawned for hours. Vyra however, spawned and was killed promptly at 7 AM, then respawned at 2:30 and downed again. She didn't come back till about 6:30 PM when she was downed a 3rd time.
Since 6:30 PM ST, nothing has respawned, or at least been reported. Usually people are good about it. It's server down day,and realms are late at going down (by over an hour). I'm hoping TLPD will spawn at 7 like he did 3 days ago. Well 7:45 AM, but 7 ish has been the trend. 7 AM seems to be a reoccuring time though. I wojn't know until a bit from now if something will spawn then.

Stalked TLPD all week, from last Tuesday to this Tuesday morning and nothing. Talked to a gnome that killed him 8 days ago (Monday morning) and the Item link script didnt come back with anything all week up to 8 am this morning before I came in to work. So either noone killed him and he despawned (if that has been confirmed?) or he just didnt spawn all week long which is quite disheartening.
My macro picked up Vyra at Bors Breath and she was at 98% so I just missed her, I think that was last Tuesday and I havent seen her again. Ill flip out when it does pickup TLPD and he JUST got tagged by someone else :(
I Spent a few hours a day this week in SP running paths and camping spawns to no avail and I may be taking a break from it for a while. It would be great to nab this mount but I think its going to come down to dumb luck to be in the right place at the right time since it is so random of when/where he spawns etc.
I guess Ill hope I get a Green Proto Drake out of my Mysterious Egg that will hatch tonight, or start running more Heroic Pinnacle for a Blue Proto Drake. Ill keep checking back in SP as I pass through but I doubt Ill spend as much time as I did this week hunting thi elusive time killer!

hey people, i just made an account to post this (imo) really important Vyragosa kill picture.
I didn't kill it, just found the corpse, but I was making rounds around the usual routes, and it couldn't have been more than ten minutes since I last came near.
Anyways to the meat of the post:
time was 19:53, coordinates are 32.2 38.6
Yes you saw it right, it was damn near uldar.
http://www.imagebam.com/image/5bf96a20442376
Too bad nobody knows which way it was going..
EDIT:
My "usual route" doesn't include Uldar, because I'm picking flowers, and there be few flowers in Uldar. Also, I didn't finish any quest at all in Storm Peaks.
Oh well, even if I never do get to find this enigmatic drake, at least I'll have the gold. QQ

Wanted to share my Time-Lost Experience so far:
- Been checking these comments since there was almost no info, pretty confident on 3 spawns - my route runs from just North of SnowDrift Plains, through Bor's Breath, and all the way to the east end of Engine of the Makers and back
- Have probably camped Time-Lost somewhere in the range of 50-60+ hours between spot camping and floating
- Confirmed with GM (including screenshots) that Valy/Dirkee and Time-Lost respawns are completely INDEPENDENT (randomness for the win)
Now for my own personal bad-news story:
I log in this morning at Bor's Breath to check and immediately see him flying away from me heading north into Valkyrion about 50 yards up. Macro does work and he does target before you can actually see him. I'm all alone and fly up to him and am humping his butt above Valkyrion. I am (I think) too high to tag and drop so I slow fall and get a range bug. *pause*
- on this note, new info I would share is that, his hitbox is very close to his head. make sure you get close before you try to tag.
*unpause*
I'm @#$%ed at this point, take off slowfall then reslow 1 inch from ground and remount. As I'm flying up to him some random I've never seen in the area gets the tag on him and I invite... I get lucky and he accepts and this screenshot shows the awesome to follow:
http://img166.imageshack.us/img166/30/unbelievabletimelostgb9.jpg
He rolled a 10.
I rolled a 1.
Needless to say, this spawn is going to be a combination of patience and luck. Mine wasn't there today. The scrub in Kara gear *ahem*, I mean really lucky guy passing by... well it was his day. He didn't mount it, hearthed and logged off.
- 2 seconds later logging on and he would have been out of range for me to see
- knowing he has hitbox near his head and i would have had him
- 5 seconds earlier missing that tag (or the random running 5 seconds later) and I would have been able to try to tag twice.
I'll update when and if I ever see him again.

Does anyone know if a rolling restart effects spawn timers? Passed few days, we've had spawns around 7 to 8 AM and nothing.
The spawn of the TLPD seems to be completely random. I've read it spawned twice in a 3 hour window, and then twice within a week's time. So, very random and i've been farming him for 3 mornings straight. I've not seen him once. Sadly, nothing seems to spawn at the ealry AM times for some odd reason, and no one is on then. : (

welp its after the resets today and as far as i see.. still no spawn, today i've yet to see any spawn in truth O.o; maybe the spawn on this drake could be upped maybe like.1% extra then what it is lol.. xD
i know its rare but for it not to have spawned for a week :<
i keep trying to tell myself, just another hour.. ^^; ~waits for lucky break~

Our last spawn was Vyra at about 6:30 PM ST, on Monday night. We have not had a single spawn since then. It's been over 18 hours and usually Vyra is always here for a performance. I blame the reset. I've got a ticket open with a GM asking if our server is now bugged like others. >_<

After Farming the Time Lost Proto Drake, as well as reading the comments you fellow followers of wowhead have posted, I've made a conclusion of one thing : the drakes "blink" spots.
In the same way a Mage can blink forward, I have devised a map of where the Time Lost Proto Drake can blink to. Following the comment of most GM's, in stating "the Time Lost Proto Drake can blink to his favourite spots", I know exactly where these spots are, as they aren't hard to find. If you've farmed the way I have, and followed the same routes, you'll see these points are either spawn points, or route path intersections.
Proto Drake Blink Points
As soon as you see the map, I highly advise you to check the dotted areas of the map. If you go to the spots correctly, you will see a small but distinct circle pod on the ground. Since these are related to no quests in the area, and having heard that the Time Lost Drake can blink, it is safe to say, those are his blink spots, and for serious campers, an opportunity.
Following "orlytldp's" post of Vyragosa flying Southwest of Ulduar, and heading northeast, you can see the connection between coordinate points (30,38) and (41, 22), in which Vyragosa was killed just south of the "Halls of Stone" dungeon.
This proves that Vyragosa's (sharing the same paths as TLPD) flying route corresponds with TLPD's blink points!
Flying route in the following post.

Flying Path for TLPD and Vyragosa

I need no screenshots for this post, but merely the proven evidence of every other screenshot available of TLPD's and Vyragosas' death points. If you've read these posts, and seen the testimonies (as well as screenshots), you'll see the similarity.

I have a theory of my own, that has to do with "blink points". I don't think the TLPD blinks necessarily. If you read my post a few pages back, I confirmed some phasing issues where I could not see the drake's corpse and my buddy could.
My theory is that where the TLPD "blinks" is when you are in a different phase then the NPC. So let's say there are 5 phased areas. In his flight, he hits each five of those phases, blinking in and out of them (if that makes sense) and spending equal time in each of them, giving everyone a fair shot at getting him.
I would venture to get a bit more complicated by saying that for example: He's in the engine of the makers during one spawn, and you're in the incorrect phase and can't see him, but the NEXT time he spawns, he spawns in the phase you are in.
All of this would add another element to this mob's rarity. Overall I'm saying he doesn't blink, he just switches in and out of phases. All of the points you've marked are areas that phase. I saw a post earlier of a guy that said he saw Vyra and she blinked in and out through Brunnhildar, I think this is because she was going in and out of phased areas.
Maybe I'm completely wrong, but it sounds plausible to me. Take it for what its worth, I'm just trying to help the cause of figuring out the mystery of the TLPD.

Phasing corresponds with quests. For example, the numerous group quests in Icecrown are meant for each member of your party to have them. One day, while questing in Icecrown, I noticed a group at the Icecrown Citadel. Assuming they were questing, I went down to help. HOWEVER, among my departure, I noticed a tank among the group taking dmg. Not seeing any mob or alliance around him, it seemed strange that he was taking damage without no visible explanation. Having done
The Fate of Bloodbane
myself, it only seemed plausible that they would be doing the same quest. But for some reason I could not see Orbaz Bloodbane. This...is phasing. Where as, in Storm Peaks, if you were on a certain quest, it may have certain characteristics attributed to it, that only you can see. THAT is why some people can see Giants rather than Stormpeak Wyrm's, and THAT is why a few posts back, a player killed TLPD while viewing Giants in the area, and his friend could only see Blue Wyrms.

Uhm... those "circle pods" are graveyards, this kind of theory has already been brought up once or twice. Don't believe me? Get yourself killed, for example in the blue proto-drake field.
Please don't throw around stuff like "I know exactly" or "this proves"if you don't even know that. Hard enough to get that drake without being led down a wrong track.
The reason those points are "connected"/correspond to the routes is because the routes cover a pretty big area and Storm Peaks has a lot of graveyards as it is pretty big and has many different levels of heights.
Still, you MIGHT be right and there MIGHT be a connection, other than that blatantly obvious one, but unless you have proof don't act like you know those things for a fact.
Your map is pretty but, but you're missing the area above Brunnhildar, there have been several sightings there, it's actually part of the supposed Engine->Brunnhildar->K3->(Mine Field)->Bor's Fall-> Sfwhatever Village->Engine, wouldn't just leave that out.

You're missing two points - one by Frostfield Lake and another by Tunkalo. They are indeed 'spawn points.' They are spawn points for dead players, i.e., very unusual cemeteries. This does not exclude them from being TLPD spawnpoints - indeed, the pathing pieced together over the last few weeks lines up frighteningly well with the cemeteries. You can easily trace 'patterns,' where a spawn at one position will lead you in a path to the next position.
Example: The Vyragosa corpse discovered a few posts up, on the high shelf south of Ulduar. Very possible that the spawn occured at Snowdrift plains and curved north-northeast around that cliff edge, and at that point the ultimate destination would either have been the Halls (we had a confirmed TLPD death there last night on my server) or veering down to the Library spot next to Grom'arsh.
TLPD could also spawn at the library spot, then arc up over the hill into the Engine, as he has been repeatedly seen, and towards the Brunn village spot or through Abandoned Camp to that marker there.
There is also the rumor of the mob being 'kill on sight' according to at least one GM - the Brunn village marker site is frequently glared at angrily by a blue drake on the ground. (It is also near a breeding site, and we have a lot of environmental animals behaving 'normally' in this expansion, such as fights for pack dominance among shoveltusks) A potential spawn there might be in danger.
The only hitch in this theory, keeping it strictly a THEORY right now, is that there have been no confirmed sightings at Frostfield or near the camp.
A note on the cemeteries themselves: This is the first zone where you are especially encouraged and able to make it back to your corpse via a ghostly flying mount. Very few people actually rez at the spirit healers here, leaving the cemeteries themselves usually emptier than they might be. They are also distinctly technological - you see them more 'active' when you're dead, involving a glowing crystal and several oscillating circles. Obvious Titan technology, and similar items were used in the 'waypoint' of the Sholazar/Un'Goro questline, lending credence to these also being 'teleports', example that you are being teleported back to your body seconds before you 'died', perhaps. Only it didn't work very well for the Proto Drake... and now he's lost, respawning perpetually throughout Storm Peaks, dropping phat lewt and rare mounts for those lucky to meet the rare 'flying dutchman' of Lich King.
(Yes, I know I got TL;DR there)

you just got your theory and stick to it no matter what, huh....
There are graveyards near/along their routes, not the other way around.
There are graveyards in the east with not a single TLPD or Vyra sighting even close to them.

Screenshot of Circle Pods
Here
In response to Phewl's post about phasing and blink points...the theory may very well be, that if you're in a quest phase, you will see a TLPD. However, if the TLPD is agroed, it may vanish into your phase, being non-visible to all other's who aren't in your phase, or who don't have the same quests as you. This being said, the TLPD may not correspond to your quests, but when you kill it, it might. This is possibly another reason TLPD corpses are hard to find, which could a spawn rate projection.
评论来自
MrHelix
There is a possibility the Graveyards to the east stray too far away from the Engine of Makers and / or Temple of Storms, which both seem to be the central route points. However, seeing as there has been a siting of TLPD near the Terrace of Makers, it very well may be that TLPD and Vyragosa fly over Durkee's spawn point near Thunderfall, go near (72, 57), and then head west of Dun Niffelem, where there are Wild Wyrms. Seeing as how TLPD and Vyragosa spawn mainly near the Blue Wyrms, it could be a coincidence that they also fly near Dun Niffelem, where there are more Wyrms. However, time will tell that option.

Sorry, but do you (sorry, not meant to be condescending) new guys even read the older posts?
Phasing has already been discussed, TLPD has been seen/killed by all kinds of people, some had not done any quests in the Peaks, some had done all, some had done part, some were on the Master Explorer (the one with phasing of the blue proto-drake field), some not (the quest is for alliance, Horde got no counterpart that uses phasing in that area).
Phasing may have an... "accidental" influence on TLPD, as in someone can pull TLPD into his phase by attacking him, but it's not like he'd spawn/fly/be able to be seen in a quest-specific phasing "instance". If that was the case (for example in the often discussed blue proto-drake field phasing instance) it would be very, very unfair to Horde player, they'd never be able to see him in that area. If some Alliance guy was doing the Master Explorer quest there and saw TLPD (who should be able to be seen across all phasing instances) and attacked him he would pull him into this phasing instance, making him invisible to all players who don't have this phasing instance active/available to them at this time.
I remember only a few posts ago somone mentioned a druid, randomly killing TLPD and getting the mount, while he was doing what.... huh.........? Killing the blue drakes there, so he could see them and was not in this other phase, and he could see him.

just wanted to sum up some facts about the drake over what i've read here...
these are things that most people seem to agree on...
1. vyragosa and TLPD share spwn timer(GM confirmed with screenie)- common belief is that after vyragosa or TLPD is dead, after about 6 hours or so, there is a chance that either vyra or TLPD with much lower chance to spwn the TLPD
2. there are plenty of maps to look up but from what i've gathered this seems to be the popular belief of their paths(vyra and TLPD also share paths) -
http://www.wowhead.com/?maps=67:365328400267436236472233489273498326498363496400497436501458503487484530467559453594455640472656475691476749459780457823436834419848396852374854352850344825365800369774371749371712361691358658380625414598432580445545423504401467404448384403362380335400314433312460288493283516277563269588275607281625290638314648348648332656275669260714257743268776275786301801318794327790363343347384382293415248458225494510452582455609
I haven't seen any screenshots of either dead on the opposite side of frosthold mountain from bor's breath but many maps point that path out.
3. (GM confirmed) they have 3-4 spwn points and a different path for each point.
rumors- things i've read, heard.
blinking, phasing, TLPD only spwns 1-2 times a week, guesses at spwn points...
contrary to popular belief i've heard some say that vyra and TLPD's timers are not related at all.
personally with the way things are looking i'm going to go with the crowd on this one...if i had to take a whack at spwn points, i'd guess south gate of valkyrion, and east of engine of makes for 2 of them...altho i'm hopelessly lost for the other 1-2...

Ok i have heard all your theories of the phasing now, but why do you guys think it is called, a Time-lost Proto-dake.
When you complete one of those quest to get a phas the area goes on in time and gets a different look then before. So other players are in other time zones than you are.
Since its a time- LOST proto-drake, i think it would be fair to state that it indeed is visible for everyone no matter in what phase you are but vanishes in your phase when you aggro it.
I also follow mrhelix in his node theory cause indeed it fits up with the paths he takes and they just look like pods

I've been following this for 3 weeks now, and I have to say it's almost hilarious how rumours go live a life of it's own.
The whole "pashing theory" is based one ONE report of a dude that said he couldn't see the drake and it's killer. Plausible explanation as Nonentity stated above; either one of the players was one a point in a phasing quest and just happened to pull the drake into it.
The "teleport" thing is based one ONE report (not screenshotted) of some guy that said a GM told him that the drake "has a teleport ability AND has places he likes to hang out in". We know he has those places, and we know he "blinks" in combat. It doesn't neccesarily mean he teleports all over the map.
The report about Vyra teleporting over Brunnhildar could be explained by latency issues, ie. the game "catching up" as it sometimes does.
The reports about spawn points: I'm fairly sure 99% of the time people don't see an actual spawn but the game rendering range picking up on a mob.
The graveyard-pod story sounds less plausible to me than the abominable snowman theory, but kudos for the effort.
I know that for most people (including myself) this mob has reached an almost mythical status, but let's just keep things simple: The drake has an irrational spawn time and a number of spawn points and different routes he takes. Good luck finding out how to camp it most effictively.

Just killed vyragosa at about 3:30am server (pst). I was going south in BB when I saw him coming over the waterfall from the west along the mountain. He wasnt ascending he was already really high. He was too high to be safely tagged until I got him almost at valkyrion. Is there a potion of slowfall or something? If that had been TLPD and other ppl were there I would have ended up a sad panda.

This.
WTF @ the graveyard thing? Seriously. I think you're all getting cabin fever for hovering around the peaks too long.
I've been camping this drake far too much, and i've only seen Vy's corpse and my girlfriend saw a Tauren kill Time-Lost at stupid o'clock in the morning yesterday. I think the only way you're going to get him/her is by being extremely lucky, waiting until the early hours and hoping he's spawned, or waiting for a few months to go by for the hysteria to die down.
We've had reports that the rares have linked spawn times and that the spawn times are completely independent. I'm going to put my neck out and say that Bliz isn't going to be that complicated. He could have a 6 - 12 spawn time but because he has been reported in so many different areas of SP and at different altitudes, he's just pretty damn difficult to find. Also think of all the people who don't report that they've killed him on general or WoWhead/thottbot.
G'luck all.

First of all sry for my bad english but this is pretty much the most detailed discussion about TLPD I became aware of. Thx for so much information it really is a huge help in finding this little greedy bastard ;)
I want to stick to some fact where either TLPD and/or Vyragosa has been slain at an Route going east of Brunnhildar and east of the Makers Terrace clearly not leading through the Wyrmfield north of Brunnhildar but east of it.
As of now im not right sure if they are taking the direct route west of Branns or near Tunkalo but they are takin at least one of it due to different killscreens and sightings.
Map to the Stars
I would please people having a look at these two routes and give some informations based on sightings, here. Im doing so.
Btw yesterday i found my first dead Proto-Drake and saw+killed Dirkee the first time so im looking forward to find it, maybe not this week..maybe not even this year. But i will claim him as my own and ride it with pride ;)

This pictures can confirm that he is patrolling near Ulduar as well. Unfortunately it wasn't my kill, I was, of course, camping around Bor's Breath, Engine of Makers and Valkyrion. The person who killed it didn't even farm it. Typical...
Have seen the corpse twice, ones was just north for Burnhillldar and now there. It was killed on a high populated server, around 19:20.
I have been farming it for around 4 days, and maybe 15 hours. Seen the corpse twice, as said and seen another person with the mount in Dalaran, so AT LEAST three kills on my server.
Didn't bother to check if anyone else has confirmed his patrolling near Ulduar, just thought it could be nice to share.
Good luck with the hunting folks!

The macro will still target the corpse and it'll show up in your target frame. It just won't flash "ZOMG! THERE IT IS" and make you pee your pants over something that's already dead.
Even if you hit the macro again, it'll clear the targeted corpse, yet still retarget it unless you fly out of range, or the corpse disappears.

Has anyone been thinking if killing Blighted Proto Drakes (or eggs with frost oil) has something to do with TLPD spawn/spawntime ? TLPD is almost colored like Blighted and Vyra is blue :)

Kill x egg/drakes --> get spawn ? Might explain "random" spawtime...

Very unlikely imo. There is an actual mount, the Plagued Proto-Drake that uses teh same model as those Blighted Proto-Drakes afaik, would seem very strange if TLPD, which is a different kind of Proto-Drake would be connected to them in any way.

Use this
for the aproximate spawn points and pats of the TLPD. As you can see I only know 3 of the 4 spawns.
I believe that once the TLPD finishs it's pat it despawns for "x" amount of time and then respawns at another point; I'm not sure if this spawn change timer is related to the kill timer.

Hey all, I just killed Vyragosa on Chamber of the Aspects EU realm maybe 20 mins ago at 28,69.
Here are 2 screens:
http://bildr.no/view/302738
http://bildr.no/view/302739
I logged in at engine of the makers, and took a round along the suggested route as many have plotted out in a clockwise fashion and nothing.
Then I stopped at the engine again for a few minutes, maybe thinking I would log off again. But something told me to fly down to Bor's Breath again, and I tried the macro again. And wow, I got a hit at Vyragosa. Though my adrenaline skyrocketed, I saw that she came from Bor's Fall at 36,69 oddly enough. I tried to tag her but I was too far up in the air and I dismounted and fell to the ground being killed.
Dammit I thought, now someone else will kill her, but I quickly ressed and flew after her. She was flying west through Bor's Breath, but then I saw that she turned southwards again through Rohemdal Pass. A bit odd, since no one has suggested that path. But I quickly aggroed and killed her before anyone else jumped at it. I was lucky and got the achievement as well. Imagine if this was TLPD, I would have been shaking :p
At least there's hope. Happy hunting guys.

Same thing happened to me yesterday with her coming over the fall and being too high to kill. I got her in between BB and valkyrion and I could have sworn she turned away from valkyrion as well. Im convinced that she does it now. Maybe for that spawn she just circles frosthold mountain.

HI, just killd Vyra for 2nd time now (Bloodscalp Eu-PvP 07:24AM).... This time it was @ 40,62. I guess she spawnd at the blue drake field. I came flying back from ulduar and there she was already above the Engine of makers. - Corpse despawnd 5 min's later.
There were no complications, macro catchd her I tagd and pulld near the ground and she was dead, no ally, no horde. I hope I will catch the TLPD as EZ as her someday.
GL for all the hunters outthere!
DOnt give up on it!

Grats to that guy. It just confirms that Vyra and TLPD shares at least some of the paths.

is it just me, or was the sudden flurry of Vyragosa kills not a coincidence?
Oh btw, I can confirm that Vyragosa circles the southern side of Frosthold mountain, ccw. I followed and kill her once. Found her at the southern side of the mountain, turned north at bor's fall, almost reaching the ledge near the abandoned camp before I had to take her out due to competition. Have pics if anyone wants to see.

just saw vyragosa killed at 2:40 am server time by two alliance that tagged her away from me
this after last night when a friend killed her at exactly 2:40 am as well
as far as vyragosa goes, i believe she has a set respawn time. maybe TLPD is just a rare chance to spawn instead of vyragosa?
edit: killed right at 36,68. i spotted her about 60 yards up, put on ret aura and tried to kite her to one of the ledges, and just as my holy shock got in range a couple alliance tagged her out from under me.
if that happens on the time-lost drake, judging by how mad i was, ill probably uninstall WoW :<

Created an account just to post this.
I've been following the comments here off and on for the past few weeks, but never really got into the hunting for the rares.
Well I was reading through the post tonight and decided to go up and do a little hunting. I flew through Storm Peaks a couple of times and didn't see anything. So I stopped at Ulduar and tabbed back out to read some more.
Tabbed back in to make sure I didn't afk out and was dead. I thought "WTF killed me?" So checked the combat log and TLPD did. >< At this point my heart is pounding. Release spirit and run to my body immediately. Hop on my mount and start flying west from Ulduar since I had read reports of him going that way to Snowdrift Plains, then south from there toward Valkyrion.
Found him dead at 28, 52 with a BE Pally and Troll Shaman still there.
I was flying about 30-40 yards above the ground at 43, 29 when he killed me.
Time of his attack on me was 3:30 am server time. Found him dead at 3:35.
I also talked with someone in Dalaran who was riding him earlier today that killed him at 7 am that morning.

Vyragosa lived and died at 33,67, found the body and her killer at about 9:28am EST. Saw Dirkee last night, too, around 9:15pm at the Inventor's Library in one of his usual spots, but we're all pretty sure he's not linked anyway.

Greetings fellow Proto Hunters.
I am now 3 weeks(!) into farming for this thing, and as you can think I am a tad bored of hitting the Target macro for him.
Now what I was wondering- are there any addons out there that perhaps auto-click the macro as well as play a sound when/if it targets something? Would be nice to watch a movie and keep an ear open for whatever sound will play when it targets a mob :)
Also- the script macro. Do I need to click it again to see if someone has gotten it, or, will it auto update if the item-info link is open on my screen?
Thanks for your help, much appreciated.
GL in finding your own Proto-drakes, be they Time-Lost, Green, Red, Blue, Plagued, Black, or Violet!

I was patrolling back and forth for about half an hour at the confirmed points, spamming my macro.
Second time I got to the valkyr village I found his corpse -_-
It had spawned somewhat right after I had left the village and someone killed him then...

Did they change the spawn time on TLPD or isn't it shared with Vyragosa anymore?
I killed Vyragosa 12:32 today, then the script macro was saying "retreving info", I logged back at 16:00 (3.5hours later), and the macro was able to link the drake.
That is no way near the 6hour spawn that has been reported here.
(I allso killed Dirkee at 20:23 last night)

Killed Vyragosa again at Bors Fall.
So just want to let you know that im convinced about the spawn point right behind frosthold mountain now cause of guarding bors breath. I once saw her coming down the mountain flying over the frosthold but this time it came the other side around from frosthold going over the waterfall clearly spawning behind the mountain.
I was already flying 40+ yards high when i suddenly saw these giant blue feet on the top of my screen (didnt use my macro that moment) and it was still flying to high to tag it from my mount as a hunter. It was flying around 100 yards high descending to the trees as i first thought about following it but there clearly would be no interested in BB.
I know people like screens.
Managed to tag in my position flying remember it was much descending
I am tracking such a rare over approx 400 yards
My little test about phasing as i can see vyra..
..in my both phases.
And for the end my map still being in development with the eastern route, hoping to find more evident informations on them an still thinking about some more eastern way too.

I would please people having a look at these two routes and give some informations based on sightings, here. Im doing so.

Are you all pulling my leg about this thing? Please say you are. Because I've spent more than 10 hours a day for about 5 days looking for this thing and all I've seen is Vyragosa 6 times and Dirkee 3 times and 0 TLPD. I think it's a myth and every screenshot is a private server!

During my research on the web (and I am watching different forums in different languages) there have been multiple sightings
in these
areas. I do believe them even without having seen screenshots (guess i saw one for the southern area though) like i believed every other, and like every other I will prove them for myself or getting tlpd beforehand ;D
Generally
these
are the _only_ pathes shown on
that
map that I have not proven to be 100% accurate by myself (though there might be some more links between them) /edit I saw screenshots deeper to K3 and even heard him flying over it but can´t tell more on that path..pretty much think his spawnpoint is between K3 and K3 graveyard heading to Brunnhildar.
I am pretty much a believer in the graveyard-theory, btw. Its quite obvious that they are flying around them, over them, even spawning next to them. oh and by the way they are taking all bigdotted pathes on the map, why not at Branns or Fjorns? ;-)
There might be just a spawn at the terrace or Branns graveyard but it could even connect them both (
they are here
)
The main issue is that there is going on something in the east. There have been to many informations on that. Of course another reason is that we (yes we) sometimes cant find a rare spawn for like 2days and most like 13-15h respawn but personally I am pretty much convinced that we are just not finding it. That´s why I invented the eastern Route as my own lil experiment.

Well I would agree that there *could* be more spawn points and paths they take. However, there are screenshots of GMs stating there are only 4 spawn points and they are known for the most part. Of course the GMs could be mistaken. You have the counter-clockwise path in
Brunnhilder
, counter-clockwise around
BB and Frosthold
, clockwise path around
Valk, temple of storms, and tcrashsite/library
, then finally the biggest path counter-clockwise through
terrace of the makers, up to Ulduar, down through snowdrift, through valk, through BB and back up to terrace
.
I too have seen people claim north of Fjorns, east of Brunnhilder, the far north of Ulduar, and whatnot, but I will not believe it until screenshot shows it.

Today I was scouting for TLPD even if I saw it killed yesterday, however after 1 hour of flying around I decided to go afk for about 10min, and when I came back i flew over to Bor's Breath and what do I see? A dead Vyragosa :/
So it died ~17:20 Thursday on 11th December 2008 on Outland EU

I don't know if TLPD or Vyragosa was spawned earlier today but if it wasn't, it was about 18 hour respawn if I counted from what I saw yesterday (23:25) til now.

I was flying at about level with the Temple of Storms coming over from the library when my macro caught the TLPD. Who was tagged. :(
But, as I was diving down to see him, he became free; someone must've fallen and died! With Crusader Aura's aid, I made it down and wafflestomped him, with two Alliance desperately trying to kill me.
Sabria: 1
Alliance: 0
From when I picked him up, he was heading around the west side of the engine towards Bor's Breath. Those ten seconds were a long long dive.

Heres my tale in regaurds to obtaining this awesome mount. After spending about 20 hours searching and patroling back and forth for this rare spawn and leveling up to 80, I decide to head back to town and buy my skills and all that stuff. So after skills are bought I decide that maybe one more quick round won't hurt. After hearthing back and making one counter-clockwise pass around Bor's Breath while spamming the macro, Jackpot! Time-Lost targeted and ready to be taken down. Had to fly right next to him, earth shock, and use slow fall potion down so I wouldn't die, then the battle had begun..
He hits fairly hard on mail and, so I had to use cooldowns and one health pot but after 2-3 minutes of fighting he fell under my sword (or mace rather) and dropped the sweet mount and a bag of gold. 30 seconds after I kill him a guy messages me with a reluctant "Grats on the mount" but he was looking for it too. Stay resilient if your trying for this mount and you will eventually have it.
Technical information:
In regaurds to respawn time, it took 22 hours since the last time i saw vyragos' corpse so what people are saying about spawn time seems about right.
Drake was found around 29,66 (give or take a few yards in any direction) had to pull north a few yards. definately worth the time.

well i've been camping storm peaks for atleast 14-18 hours a day for well over a week now. seen vyra 5 times, 3 of which were my kills. still no TLPD sightings. i logged off last nite and slept for about 3 hours, got back on and click the one macro and it shows item description. a few minutes later i get to Dalaran and see it leaving the flight deck heading down toward dragonblight, i really wish i hadnt run out of stacker pills, and energy drinks. oh well my hunt shall continue. just a little curious as to whether they will let me use my computer while locked up in the looney bin.
edit- i tried deleteing the cache folder again, but this time it didnt reset the link, it still showing the info. so maybe blizz did something to make it always show the item info? i'm gonna hope for that and that the 1 i seen flying from dalaran was the 1st one my server had dropped.

No, sorry. I didn't see anyone fall, but as from previous experiences, even if it's attacking another mob, it won't go grey. Another player had hit it, and had apparently misjudged either how hard it hit (heh?) or the distance to the ground.

I use a program that presses my hotkey 4 times / second. I had a guy report me and talked to a GM about it and convinced him it didn't give me an advantage, it just stopped me from getting arthritis at 24. lol.
Now that I've confirmed this doesn't get you in trouble you can email me (velociraptorwithajetpack@gmail.com) for the program (autoit) and for the script I use. I can either send you the script as a premade file or as source so you an inspect it (for you paranoid people). I use Bottom/Right arrow keys for the hotkeys for the macro so youll either have to use WASD for steering or change the script to your hotkeys.
Happy Hunting!

Just because the GM you got was lenient does not mean others will be :). I agree it isn't that much of an advantage, but you never know how someone will act. Personally I have my macro tied to my mouse wheel, so I just cruise around on auto fly spinning my mouse wheel every 1 second or so.

If I'm not mistaken, you should be able to just tag something like:
/script PlaySoundFile("pathToFile") on the end of the macro.
Check out my macro on the first page and try that. I'll play around with it once I get home. I'll update my macro then.

I can personally confirm that Vyragosa goes thru the abandoned camp because I killed her there yesterday. She was coming from BB on her way into the engine. I seriously doubt those npcs will attack her because she was flying low and 1 of them was attacking my ghoul while another was attacking me. They didnt seem interested in her at all. My current theory is that she spawns over BB or above that abandoned camp because I had just been thru there and she wasnt there. Either way I can personally confirm 2 different paths through BB.

I just got this today on Cho'Gall! I found him flying high up on the mountain near Bor's Breath. He was pretty close to that Alliance flight path area. I was at the bottom mining, then I hit the macro and he was up there. This leads me to believe that he spawns up there, or flies there and paths for a while, because I had flown from the Engine of the Makers, down into Bor's Breath, mined the vein, then spotted him. Hope this helps you guys! I am sad to say I don't think I've ever been as excited as I was when I hit his target, then grabbed him and killed him.

I'm thinking a good strategy would be to grab some
Snowfall Lager
so that you can aoe or ranged attack TLPD and use the lager for the fall while possibly beating on the dragon on the way down. Just make sure you're at a distance that will take less than 30 seconds to reach the ground.

Ive begun my quest for the TLPD and would definetly like to suceed =) So could anyone comment on the idea of camping opposite the Temple of Storms entrance spamming my macro. I believe this would be a good idea because from most of the posts I have read the TLPD has been sighted and/or killed around this area. Also most of the patrols people believed to be true pass through the valley of where the Temple of Storms entrance is located, so from gathering the evidence i have come to the conclusion of camping here for the Drake would be the most effective way of catching it! XD So if anyone can notice a giant fault in this tactic please post back, Thankyou From Killionaire of Eonar.

Oh and also ive noticed that not many people if any comment on what height would be best to fly at while searching for the TLPD, for example low to the ground in caster range or very high so having to body pull on a flying mount then bring to ground floor. All comments and hints will be greatly appreciated, Thanks.

He does not go anywhere near Horde places, as far as I know. The closest would be the Engine of the Makers.

If you are talking about the TLPD, then yes...hence the word drake in his name. But many people talk about Vyra due to the evidence they share pathing, and Vyra is a blue DRAGON.

Just got another Vyragosa sighting today :) Macro dinged at about 28, 60 or so, but I didnt see her around. I flew a little bit higher and noticed her descending from the Frosthold mountain. As long as I got her earlier this morning, I decided to follow her around. She flew directly to north and above Valkyrion she's been tagged by a Horde DK. Funny enough, this greedy bastard aggroed few undead Bjork-like humanoids and cowardly ran away. Then Vyragosa retostored her hp and continued to fly further north. She descended to the very low height (about 20 yards or so) at the path west of Grom'arsh where she has been tagged and then killed by that tauren again. So I have two sightings of her today (which I believe to be quite lucky for the first day of extensive farming) :)

No, Blizzard hasn't changed anything. The explination you are looking for is that either someone who isn't 80 or doesn't have the 300 riding skill killed the TLPD. So that person is unable to use the Reins and learn the skill, in turn the Reins are sitting in their backpack which is why you can still grab the link for it.

he can pat semi close to the crash site if it counts.. idk if i'd count it though.. cause thats a very small horde base imo but every time i bring up the fact your better off camping the alli's base everyone throws the fact off he can path by our base...
too bad near our base dosen't seem to be one of his common spawns. I wouldn't mind to see him spawn near our larger camp though :) but as far as i have seen from screens and maps he's not reported to be pathing or spawn near there.

As a general rule I would hover around just high enough to kill me (if I fell). But other than that there are a lot of nice screenshots of people following Vyragosa to show you how high you should be. Their height ranges a lot depending on where they are.
He was very high when I found him in Brunnhildar. He was even with the blue drakes he was headed to. I was able to target him despite being a lot lower than he was so don't worry too much.
I wouldn't recommend trying to cast at him from the ground (you likely wont be able to reach him). If he's high enough he would deaggro if you tried to pull him to the ground. If you pull and kill him on a slant (like on a bad snow patch on a mountain) you wont be able to loot him without falling. lol wouldn't that be awesome? You can either follow him around trying to find a place to pull him or save yourself the trouble and get Snowfall Lagers. You can safely tag him almost anywhere with them. They're in Grom'arsh Crash Site for Horde. I know this has been said already but for anyone who doesn't have them they're great to have.
I ran this path:
http://www.wowhead.com/?maps=67:278518266549264582268605277636294648317654334654351660366656380644391629398609409598290504306487330466318479347440357425376405393409401438405467405491402506402524413533432541437555446566457559467541477526494504423598445611461763475741484716487691483656465627439798426813415817391813497481494458497433497401492374484345479328471318459302432291411293392299378312365347366370378786367763365737365706357689
And I did a lot of camping in these spots:
http://www.wowhead.com/?maps=67:292652269565371633432281
Each one (except for the Ulduar spot) did get hit by Vyra and/or TLPD when I was camping it, so I know those would work. But I wasn't able to tag him myself until I caught him
before
he hit the heavily camped areas.
In total I've seen 2 Vyras and 3 TLPDs. So I hope my experiences can help ya!

Ok guys am one of the lucky ppl in WoW i got my Time-Lost Proto-Drake this week and i think i am the first alliance in my server.I have bad news bout the paths and spawns. He spawnned right under me near the cave above burninhar village or how its called anyway and he was heading to village i followed it not far untill he was flying above the village where i had to downed him and kill him due to, to many hunters and i didnt wanna lose the mount. it was 05:19 tuesday morning when he spawned and 05:22 when he was dead. From that day untill today am still hunting him not for the mount but to count his time respawn between and everything. On wednesday time 16:15 i was near where Vyra was getting killed and i have talked to the guys who killed it and they showed me the way he was coming. He was coming from the mountains near Valkyrion towards the Bors breath..Well some said that after 1 hour to 20 hours after Vyras death TLPD respawns NOTHING am still searching but no spawn. Ok i dont really know still if horde killed it but what i know from my search and everything didnt see him coming. I will find out what happened there if something happened and i hope i will find the time respawn.
I also heard that a GM from blizzard that this Drake its rare we all know it when he spawns and noone there spots it and kill it, he blinks away and then dissappears putting some more rarerity to his kind or something like this(hope someone can confirm it)
soon coming pics made bymyself bout the mobs and a map with the routes of both
Good Luck to all guys and hope am not confusing anyone with the routes i saw

I just wanted to add something about altitude, and how to pull him. For me, he was quite high in the air, near the top of the mountain to the north/east of Frost Hold. But: My macro was able to target him when I was on the ground mining a Saronite Node. Meaning, if you fly at a medium altitude, you should have no problem targeting him whether he is above or below you. Now, for pulling, I was way up in the air and was scared I would be unable to pull him. But what I did was simply fly into him, to aggro him, and then land on a little out cropping on the mountain, there are lots of them.

Well, after about 13 hours of flying around and spamming /tar macros for the time-lost and Vyragosa drakes I hit Vyragosa approximately at 39,42 - just where the previous poster found the Time-lost drake. I started following her.
This was her route. She managed to fly through it 1.5 times at about 60% mount speed and then some hunter killed her.
Map
She practically didn't descend when coming to Bor's Breath from Foot Steppes. Was going at about 80-100 yards above Valkyrion and then about 60 yards over the western part of the path.
This leads to a conclusion that Time-Lost/Vyragosa have multiple routes, but will use only 1, circling it over and over until he/she is killed(maybe despawn?) after which he/she might spawn in a different place and use a different route.

i was reading the comments for the time-lost proto drake (the one with the fewer comments), someone suggested to create a macro with this script:
/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");
well i tried that and i got a popup that said 'retrieving item information'. it's just a popup box that i can close.
what does that mean? does it mean that the drake has never been killed on my server? i can't find it!

-Updated Videos, deleted unnecessary evidences and redesigned maps 1.1.2009-
Just to sum all these facts up and pasting the evidences as we had over 1k comments already..ok so I went through ALL the data available, again.
And I found some nice TLPD screenshots and comments about the routes and infact the routes with known spawns. So this post is dedicated to the hard facts. (no boring screens of Bors and most of TLPD we even got a few Videos!)
Im drawing the maps in circles cause thats what they are supposed to fly..in circles (though they do spawn a bit offroad). Remember that TLPD is just a superrare spawn of Vyragosa and they do share all pathes. It is a common belief that they got a very small spawnchance every 30min after , though 6-8h is more likely and over 15h possible.
Since we
got this video of Vyra flying the full cycle
the following map is just a matter of fact like the others.

We also got another
Video
showing Vyragosa flying descending from Frosthold heading into Valkyrion. She is having some fights there..continues the pat to the Library where it is getting killed.

Ulduar-Terrace-Route
Update:
Video of the full cycle.
3.
K3-Brunhildar-Sifreldar-Route
Vyra came from Brunnhildar and was followed around to K3
Vyra flying over Sifreldar...
..near Waterfall
..at Waterfall
..to K3
Minefield
4.
Frostholdmountain-Route
TLPD
southwestern edge of stormpeaks (sw of Frosthold) and many many other drakes and dragons flying that route no need for Screens.
So here are quite the
flightpathes known by now
with
recent spawnareas
.
Videoproof that Dirkee and Vyragosa do NOT share spawntables:
http://vimeo.com/2716456
Thoughts on that are welcome :)
When I started my researches on the Time-Lost Proto Drake, people said he does not fly near Ulduar or along the Terrace. They even said TLPD and Vyragosa are not sharing spawns or they are not elite.
There have been many right and wrong rumours out there; and there still are. So remember..the truth is out there

Hey guys, after careful observation of ALL these posts for about a month now, I actually think I may have a pat route.
Many of you are saying that he travels several different paths each time he spawns, however, I have created a map that shows a spawn path of vyra and TLPD in every single location they have been discovered!
Take a look:
http://www.wowhead.com/?maps=67:374850386848400850414848426838435825440807448792459768466747475728483710489695494679490662484648479636471621458609453613443617430617414617398615389611382627376640371658363666351664340658326660317662305658290654286669283695278714272728265747274765284778300784319780340780358770373761370743371718367685369706283640279629275617273596272582273557277535284516292500308491317481330462345442353434362425375419388417408415424419400421436411448401461388476372487361496341497326496306485297477291468281465260459238449238440240424242414248401248397240389234376236365246356262352279347291339306331322322341317355305376294392284415272438257473253489265458250510251532256549264568378782378800371821371838
Now it may be complicated, so i'll guide you thru it.
- first off, start just west of K3, follow the dots east and then north towards and thru brunnhillar village, across the foot steppes, and south past the engine of the makers into the northern part of Bhor's breath.
-From there the route loops around Frosthold, back into the southern end of bhors breath heading north. (this will explain why vyra and TLPD have been seen heading both north and south thru bhors breath. South-bound will be explained later on)
-They then go through bhor's breath completely in Valkryion and then North-east into the passage thru the maker's library.
-The route loops around the southern tips of Ulduar
-Continues southwest past Ulduar and into Nivadelir.(TLPD has been tagged heading south in Nivadelir)
- Then one final time in Bhors breath, heading south, the drake's begin back at thier starting point south of the frozen waterfall.
Now I'm not sure if they despawn after a certain amount of complete routes through Storm peaks, but I'm fairly sure this route is correct. It explains all directions the drakes have been seen taking, and covers all the kill spots.
Good Luck guys!

*sigh*
my first dumb luck sighting of Vyragosa (just decided to fly over Storm Peaks when flying from Icecrown to Zul Drak) and I couldn't follow her for a minute before some @#$%^& decided it would be an awesome idea to kill her....
Found her over Valkyrion, coming from the north, flying towards the south. He attacked her over the lake at BB, so I can't tell which way she would have turned from there. I think he lost her aggro for a second because she flew back to the height she flew before, for a second she turned west, like she'd continue to fly over BB, but can't tell 100% because he attacked her again.
Not important anyway as this is a pretty much confirmed routhe either way.
Only good things I took from that:
- once again confirmation that my camping spot over the lake at BB should work, even if it could take quite long, sooner or later he'll spawn there or fly by there
- he actually seemed to lose her aggro a few times while he pulled her down so I might have to reconsider my supposedly well thought out "tap TLPD in air and then attack him during slow falling" approach, no longer sure this might work.
Slow fall is really slow so it should still work, but I think I'll try it with Vyra first if I ever get the chance again.
- It is possible to spot either just by pure luck.^^
Also - I know for a fact that I won't be able to be online ingame in 6-8 hours after this Vyra spawn... -.- So I hope TLPD takes longer to spawn or we get another Vyra instead so I don't miss out on TLPD (90% chance of that anyway).

This route covers a lot but you miss the part over Terrace of the Makers (up from Engine or down to, imo either route works ccw or cw).

As far as I can tell you have only been farming all of 1 day...? And you're losing hope already? Oo

If you're losing hope after one day.... most of the longtime farmers have been after him for weeks.

Just thought to mention - actually I don't think they fly in circles.
Afaik that assumption came from someone who posted a picture of 3 routes that pretty much covered everything except the Ulduar/Terrace route, and he proposed those circles.
Has anyone ever managed to follow Vyra (I assume no one follows TLPD for longer than absolutely necessary before he moves in for the kill, I wouldn't) for long enough to check if she really flies a circle?
Nice collection of info though, you got pretty much everything important in there. I especially love the video of Vyragosa flying down from Frosthold, haven't ever seen her come this way.
Unfortunately that put a lot of doubt on the supposed spawn point south of Valkyrion of which I was a firm believer until now.
I assumed I had seen her spawn there myself because I was waiting a lil bit east of the small waterfall in BB when I suddenly had her in my target over the lake at BB, flying north, she couldn have come from my way nor pretty much any other way because my target should have covered that.
But now I think that she MIGHT have actually come down from Frosthold instead.
My theory on the routes (I've already mentioned it once quite a few pages back), for which I have absolutely no proof, just the proof of nothing to prove the opposite assumption ^^, is that the drakes have this route "network" and they follow parts of the routes (maybe even have a preferred routes) until at intersections they may decided to "switch" to follow another route.
Also I think they fly those routes clock-wise or counter-clock-wise, they may decide to do either.
I think that might work because there have been a few reports placing the one or the other drake along some of those routes, but someone mentions them flying ccw, another person mentions them flying the same route cw. Also there were reports of them following a route for some part and then, seemingly leaving that route and following another route from there on.
Either that or there may be far more "pre-defined" routes than we assumed so far, that may just seem like they switch routes simply because we don't know that he's actually flying a route we don't know yet.
Again, this is just a personal theory which I think might account for the randomness of the sightings of TLPD/Vyra. I have no proof and I don't think I'll ever will as I no longer "hunt" for TLPD, I just camp one spot whenever I have time, not doing dailies, heroic instances, raids and so on.
If I spot Vyra I'll try to follow her to find out more about the routes but that happens so very rarely....

When I woke up today, 3 of my guildies whispered me that they saw Vyragosa got killed at 11:03, this is the about Outland's 3rd kill for the week for the dragons.
1st got Killed ~23:20 I have screenie from my previous posts
2nd got Killed ~17:20 Screenie from previous post
3rd got killed 11:03
I dont have screenshot for the 3rd one since I woke up 11:50 today :/
But, if he spawn next time at 05:00-05:20 We could _maybe_ decide that the respawn is atleast 18h. (cant be really a coincidence that he spawn 18h apart 4 days in a row can it? :P)

So I've been farming this all day, and because of my determination to find this drake my account ended up being hacked. Thought I'd warn all of you out here that are googling for tips on finding the time lost drake.
I ended up on a random site where it was a How To Guide on farming the drake. It looked all extremely legit. On the guide their was a link to download AutoHotKey, I wasn't sure what this was or for, but the guy said that you'd need this and another download. So I downloaded it, I tried to open the file to install and it wouldn't install, I just assumed it was broken, and I figured eh whatever, and ditched that whole entire guide.
Tonight as I'm farming I get booted off my account, can't log back in, (freak out made hits at this point) log my brothers account, and see my character in dalaran ( I was in storm peaks farming at the time of my boot). I immediately log off his account, change my WoW pw, but by that time to late, everything is gone from my char cept my armor (which I'm grateful enough for). I'm assuming it was a keylogger, so I changed my brothers acct pw and crap on another computer as well before he ends up getting screwed too.
So now you may be asking, "How do you know that was the file that caused you to get the keylogger?" Easy, this computer is BRAND new, and it's the ONLY thing that I've downloaded.
Anyways, enough of my sad panda story, point is, I'm letting you all know to NOT download that if you happen to come across it. You WILL get keylogged (and if you already have downloaded it and are reading this going wtf wtf) scan your comp, change your pw on another comp (while your scanning on your own comp) and hope you get lucky to not get hacked.
Also if you notice that your getting dc'ed quite often in one day ( I got dc'ed about 4-5 times during the day for no reason and thought nothing of it, realized after it was all over that it was this person probably waiting for me to log off, he musta just got frustrated that I never got off and changed my pw on me). Do a full scan quickly..
GL to you all =) and be careful of that AutoHotKey

Assuming you mean a full scan from a virus scanner, it wont find it, more than likely. The company who makes your scanner would have to actually know about it.

K, now I'm curious.... maybe it's just coincidence, but my account also got hacked recently. Don't remember visiting or downloading anything from any site on how to get the Drake though. So may just be a coincidence.
Concerning Autohotkey - in itself it isn't bad, I also had it, but from the official site.
I'm still running virus scans at least once a day by now and intend to change my password at least each month, maybe more often. I was able to get pretty much everything back (<3 Blizz) but I never wanna experience that again.

I'm am now going on 70 hours of camping TLPD.
So far I have killed Vyra 3 times and seen the corpse twice. All three times I killed vyra it was in valk, and I saw the corpse near all the blue drakes and in BB near the waterfall.
I have seen Dirkee twice, just north of the engine of the makers.
Lastly, I have seen TLPD once, it was alive flying in valk heading north, sadly I was just a few seconds too late.
Good luck to all trying to get their mount.

I personally do not believe that each path can have a cw or ccw pattern. I have seen Vyra do the Brunnhildar path 3 seperate times and each time was ccw. From other people and posts they report the same.
I have also never seen the temple/crashsite going in ccw motion, always cw; same with other people.
The fact is the only time people have seen Vyra and/or the TLPD fly two directions over the same area would be BB and Valk, that is only because more than one flightpath goes through those areas.

Got third Vyragosa on Kul Tiras. Corpse, this time. Coords are 43, 72, just at the south part of Ulduar. Pretty funny that I always DING Vyragosa after 1 hour of hunting :D
Despawned in five minutes after I found it.

Just came across Vyragosa dead again in Bor's Breath, right outside south gates of Valkyrion. 1:25 server time on Uldaman.
That's two times I've seen her in roughly 2 and a half weeks of camping pretty regularly. Knew I shouldn't have gone to lunch. >.<
Grr...was waiting to see when she despawned, but a hordie came by and skinned her. Ah, well.
-----------------------------------
Update: I know their spawns aren't related, but I just got Dirkee at 2:15-ish server time, in the northeast corner of the valley with the Engine of the Makers. He hit harder than I expected...killed me twice. Fortunately, no one came along and tagged him.
Now I just have to hurry up and wait for the TLPD to show.

I have been farming this for 6 days by now. The only breaks I take are HCs/sleep & RL. (More than 100 hours spent) I've seen Vyra 3 times, 2 at BB & once at Engine of the Makers. TLPD spotted at Engine of The Makers once although that son of a bitch "evaded" and despawned shortly after. gg blizz. There has not been even one sighting since the server maintenance so I can assure you that the spawn time is longer than 6 hours OR there are unknown spawn points. This is said considering the fact there are around 30/40 players camping all spawn points all day.

TLPD has just taken 58 hours to spawn on my server. I have pretty much been camping her since server reset, and checking the server cache to check if she'd been looted whenever I'd come home from work etc.
Today, she had still not been looted after I got in from work.. And around 8pm I decided to take a nap, for an hour or so. Yep, you guessed it.. I log back on after I have woken up.. And she's been looted.
Knowing exactly where I'd be sat showing off if I'd just got the mount, I rode straight to the landing point in Dalaran to find the mage who had also been hovering at the same spot on and off for the last few days, sat upon it. I could of cried.
Anyways, I spoke to said mage who informed me TLPD had spawned right beneath him, just at the frozen lake part of Bor's Breath, just south of Valkyrion. /sigh
Such is life!

It means that the TLPD has not been killed on your server since the last server reset (or last time your cache was cleared) If someone loots it, you will get the complete item information.
I've always found this macro to be kinda pointless.

Just killed Vyra outside of Valkyrion about 10 mins ago on the Staghelm server, i followed her out of Bor's Breath where I killed her on the cliffside. Corpse hasn't despawned yet either.

Just spotted Vyragosa again, either spawning or coming from somewhere. Macro hit her at "Foot Steppes" flying west over "Engine of the Makers" and down Bor's Fall counter clockwise further down to "K3" where a mage killed her.
Even though it's the "wrong" drake for me, it's nothing like seeing a majestic dragon flying through the air. It draws attention for sure.
The hunt for "the illusive one" continues..

Two Vyragosa sightings in the past day or two, first one wasn't much help, but was my kill, not sure if I caught her just as she spawned, but she came over the lip from Brunnhildar towards the engine, took awhile to despawn, however I can't skin.
Tonight I saw her again, descending the frosthold mountain as noted in a few other posts. I decided to follow her a bit since I had no need to kill her again and though I might earn something new from following her. She went over valkyron, past the inventor's library, almost at the lip of the chasm between the mainland and ulduar, then turned and flew into the gap next to the crash site, over the center of the engine of the makers. right as she approached Bor's breath she was tagged, so I am unsure of where she was going next, I am pretty sure if she went right, she would complete at least part of the same loop, I was wanting to follow her left and see where that headed. Guess I'll have to wait for the next spawn. Still no TLPD but I know of 2 alliance side, 2 horde side, and one other player (not sure what faction, but a different class than those that I know of), so at least 5.
The last two I am pretty sure that I missed by mere minutes, it seems that some people are giving up, but there are a handful of devoted I still see around every day. GL

This is how the spawn system works. First off there is a certain amount of spawns that happen, around 4 or so on a daily basis. The first roll is made on a worldwide server roll. Basically out of all the wow servers so many of them on a daily basis will get the chance for the mob to spawn on its side. That is the first condition. So lets say there are 1000 servers and there are 500 chances, so basically 500 winning servers will get that chance, others wont. this is why some people havent seen the mob in like a week, and some have seen it like 4 times on theyre server. Once this condition is met the next roll is on the server side, which will determine at what times the mob will spawn. So basically if the server youre on happens to win the daily raffle the mob will spawn in your server, if it doesnt sometimes a week will go by and you will not see it.

As for me still thinking of the routes..isn it true that every evidence stated them
flying these directions
right in the marked Areas?
I mean did anyone ever see them flying along the library in west direction? Flying to the top of Frosthold? Flying southeast into Brunnhildar and not coming from there? Or flying to Ulduar starting at the plains?
Oh and please might anyone post a link to some sightings at Niffelem/Thunderfall/Fjorns? I know there have been some but just cant find the comment neither here nor somewhere else. Would be very kindly.

Btw, what attackes does TLPD use? Does he fly into melee-range, alway, or does he use ranged attacks?
Because recently I decided to try my slow fall+attack idea which I wanted to use if I ever see TLPD, on one of the blue drakes near the Engine, figured they'd work in a similar way.
So I hit slow fall a bit above the drake and spammed ice lances, at first it seemed to work but then he just stopped moving down and used his ranged attack. So I went further down, he stayed high up and that actually led to me leaving the combat.
If TLPD works similarly this whole "tactic" is useless.
Pulling him somewhere is definitely safer, but there's always the risk of someone else tapping him while you "lead" him somewhere.

Doesn't sound plausible at all.
There doesn't seem to be any way in which the different "areas" (European server, North American ones etc.) are connected, you can't even play on an US-server with an EU-version afaik, they got seperate account managments etc. There are quite a few server farms/centers for each area, why go the trouble of connecting those with the ones for the other areas?
Why would such a connection be established or used for one damn mob?
IMO: bullsh*t.

Hey guys, i got a GM to talk to me who was pretty cool. Sorry i dont have the screenies. But he told me that the TLPD was NOT on a respawn timer of days - such as a week, but in hours.

I have only been camping for 4 days, and was a bit bored today, so I figured I'll quest a bit. Killing some Stormriders down Snowdrift Plains, pressed the macro just for the heck of it. And to my amazement it was just in front of me..but..tagged by a human rogue! Oh noes, I watched the fight and was shocked to see that the rogue died. Don't know why, maybe he had dropped from the air and was too low on health.
Well I quickly tagged him and luckily I had slowfall lagers, and the rest is history. I got some rude gestures and emotes from the alliance, but I won it fair and square. Did not attempt to kill it while it was tagged.
Now the leveling can commence. Good luck people, and don't give up.

Back again. To make a long story short, been farming TLPD for 11 days or so as of yesterday. Friend needed a few things, for me to run a heroic and an enchantment from my alt. I took an hour and a half from my hunt, checking my macro before I left, so I knew no one had looted it yet. After I'm done, I head back over, click my macro. /sadface. Someone looted it. In that short window period.
Just a story to show how unpredictable and random this can be to hunt. Don't be discouraged though, there will always be another time. Just keep hunting.
Not to disappointed though, cause I'm still flying around on my Red Proto-Drake. ^_^
Happy Hunting.

On top of this page next to the title "Reins of the Time-Lost Proto-Drake" you can find a button called "Link" to the right...
You can copy-paste that Ingame to attempt to link the Item.
If you click on the linked reins and you get a "Retrieving Item information" it means the item hasnt been in the server cache since the last maintenance ( aka nobody got it since then )
The expection is people having it in their bags as mentioned above, like peeps who arent 80 yet and hence cant "learn" the spell which would make the item disapear from their bags..

Right so ive been looking all around in Storm Peaks for this guy. Today i was on my way to the nexus and a friend of mine claimed to of just seen him in dragonblight while on a flight path. Can anyone else confirm they have seen him in dragonblight because from what ive read here so far everyone has killed in Storm Peaks.

These comments seem fake. The whispers in the screenshots show the GM making alot of spelling mistakes and also have quite bad grammer. I have spoken to alot of GM's in my time and they usually have perfect grammer and VERY rarely make spelling errors. These whispers just seem extremely badly put together.

Could of saw someone riding the Time-lost in Dragonblight, otherwise I dont think there are similar color'd proto drakes in Dragonblight

yeah m8 have fun casting a spell to tag the mob while your in an iceblock.........................
i suppose you could fly far above him then cast fireblast and iceblock after, but that would take alot more time than simply casting slow fall when u see him then fireblasting him while your floating beside him.
You wouldn't have to 'watch someone tag your mob from the ground' as you have tagged it while slowfalling.
also wtf would be the point in slowfalling or iceblocking if you you were able to tag it from the ground in the first place?
have some logic please.

If the TLPD follows Vyragosa's paths, I've followed her on her Ulduar path and boy is that a ride...
the
precise
map :
Map
She flies CCW. The spawn point for this path appears to be right in front of Ulduar, or probably in the building I'm talking about below.
On some sections, especially when above The Maker's Terrace, going down the stairs there, and when going from Ulduar to the Snowdrift plains, she flies VERY high, in excess of 100 yards, in the stairs down the terrace she flies noticeably above the lowest arch there.
A pathing bug, when she does her last turn to the left towards ulduar, she flies through the building at 49.25 on the map (actually is more like 48.29 IG)
It took her approximately 14 minutes to do a full loop, and it isn't affect by phasing, when I was above Snowdrift Plains with her, I had no problems following tho I haven't done a single quest there.

I've seen alot of people with the incorrect macro and they end up spamming them names of random mobs so I thought i'd post the correct version of the macro that was originally posted.
/tar Dirkee
/tar Vyra
/tar Time
/stopmacro
/w playername > %t <
This properly ends the macro if dirkee,vyragosa or time-lost proto drake are not targeted.

i jsut saw another alli with the drake an by the way he was flying in circles and stuff im gonna take a wild guess he just got it.. D: means i've still only seen two horde on my server with it and like working on 10 allis now
want to buy spawn point over or near our camp/base T.T ~goes back to trying to hunt the drake~
im not sure where the drake was killed at cause once again the corpse isn't anywhere to be seen. I know someone said a while back the drakes corpse isn't skinable. Is anyone 100% sure on that? I know Vyra's is skinable so im starting to think the drakes is too.
Edit: as of 1:33am someone from the horde killed the drake :D so i was online during this and got a chance to speak with him.
he showed me the place his macro tagged it an where he ended up killing it.
tagged at : 28,63 - right after Valk headed into Bor's breath.
killed at: 36, 72 - he wasnt sure if it was going to turn or go down the waterfall or not.
(killed it so far away because he forgot to hit slowfall.. xD )
1. im kinda mad.. cause i was away from the spot he found it at to do some skinning trying to finish out my lw (cry! ).
2. now i know for sure that my camping spot is good to go for future camping.
i know this isn't new information i dont think, and i dont have a screen shot of teh corpse.. cause it seems shortly after he left it the corpse vanished.. so im going out on a limb to say its skinable.

It has been 24 hours for me farming all known fly patchs and spawn spots.
I have seen comments that the drake has a spawn time in hours not days or weeks so i wanted to test it. 24 hours non stop flying friend took over when i was sleeping. We shut either have had seen his body or seen him fly but we didn't i can only say the spawn time can be longer then 24 hours.
We have not seen the Proto drake alive nor his body.
Camping for 16 days now around 16 hours a day.
Have in total 7x Vyragosa kills in Bor's Breath and 2x Dirkee kills at 41,41
Seen Vyragosa 12x and Dirkee 3x

I finally found the dragon myself after some weeks. :-) I want to thank you all for your hard work and contribution to help others (and yourself) to find the dragon. I uploaded a screenshot of where I killed the dragon, but until it's up, I can tell you, how he was flying:
I was sitting on a house in Valkyrion, was tired of flying around searching for the dragon and then suddenly the target macro was hitting the time-lost proto drake. But I couldn't see him anywhere and the target was lost after some seconds, too. I was flying around the whole known areas of the dragon and then after flying near Bor's Fall the proto drake came around the mountain from the southwest.
I was so nervous that I totally forgot about the height I can survive (being a druid cat it is easy normally ...) and then I died three times from falling down to the ground. I had so much luck that nobody was coming and took him from me ... He flied through the whole Bor's Breath at around 60 meters height and before Valkyrion he was turning to the southwest and began to fly around the mountain (again?) of Frosthold. I finally took him down there and fought against him until he died. The screenshot will follow as soon as possible, as mentioned above.

Tonight was a decent night, Killed two rares, unfortunatly neither was "the one". I killed Dirkee just east of the Library around 3:15am. Just now killed Vyragosa at 5:04am. Spotted her "high" up over the Engine of the makers, body pulled her down to the ground at the southern end and finished her off there.

Looted at 10:30 am on Undermine Horde Side. I sat at 28,55 and just waited. There was no roar.
I contacted a GM to ask about the spawn rate, and confirm the roar, to post here, while the GM was talking to me, I tapped my macro, and the Murky Dancing noise went off and it was the TLPD.
I have spent maybe a total of six hours off and on searching. Never used a Macro Program, just used the macro above and pressed the button.

This probably isn't much help, but still worth mentioning. At around 12:10 AM today I did one more check of all known TLPD/Vyragosa routes twice and went to sleep. I logged back in at around 9:30 AM, checked the macro... and it showed the mount was looted.
Though quite disappointed, I started flying around spamming my /tar macro and found dead Vyragosa at the end of Bor's Breath that leads to K3 at about 9:35 AM.
EDIT: It seems they can potentially spawn at any half-hour, I've encountered Vyragosa at 9:03 PM, and this once right after 9:30 AM; many other screen shots and posts show kills that occurred not later than 15 minutes after a half-hour.

After a week of camping tirelessly and killing vyragosa 5 times. The TLPD decides to spawn while im in heroic utgarde keep. I needed the leggs from the last boss (which dropped and I lost the roll). So I went and of course the son of a ***** spawns in the hour im gone. I wouldnt be surprised if GMs hold their spawn till us campers leave because ive seen multiple posts here of similar things happening. Sad pandaville for me =(

So how do you know it spawned while you were in the instance? The only macro I have been using has been the button click while flying by. After a week all I have seen is one dead vyragosa, and I killed Dirkee last night.
How can I increase the chance of finding this guy without using addons?

Finally spotted Vyra again... after like 2 days of nothing. A little something to get the spirits up.
Would have preferred TLPD naturally ;), especially because I actually had Vyra to myself for like the first 2 minutes, no one around, if that had been TLPD he would have been mine.... :/
Spotted her at the lake at BB, followed her through Romedhal Pass, she then continued on the .... "back side" of the Frosthold mountain (facing Icecrown), about halfway to BF she got tagged.
2 weeks and going and not a single TLPD sighting, dead or alive, only looted once according to the script. Damn this sucks.

I know that it spawned while I was in the instance because I checked my macro as soon as I got out and it dispayed the item information. The script for that macro is listed a few times in this forum.

I've seen Yvra three times now, the first time, 3 days ago, I was questing in Snowdrift Plains, and Vyra was flying high outside of Bouldercrag Refuge, southwards towards Valkyrion. I tagged her and, with the help of a paladin, we killed her on the crane infront of the Iron Colossus.
The second time I saw Yvra was yesterday, she was dead in Bor's Breath, body facing eastwards so I assume she was headed in that direction. The third time, today, she was dead on the cliff-face above Brunnhildar Village, right below where all the blue drakes fly about. It seems each time I see Vyra, she's further along in an anti-clockwise direction.
I'm hoping I next see the TLPD, and for some reason I'm searching around the Terrace of the Makers.

He was flying pretty slow (60% Normal Flying Mount speed slow) from the direction of Bor's Breath towards Valkyrion at just above tree level.
As you can see from the screenshots, quite a few people showed up instantly (I never said a word). Many people were scouting for it, so it had to of spawned not far from where I killed it.
The body also despawned after 30 minutes. (TLPD was killed @ 1:22AM EST, body despawned @ 1:52AM)
Another note, I have not did a single quest in The Storm Peaks (for those interested in phasing).

I've lost the drake twice since I started farming almost three weeks ago. She's definitely spawning more often now, though that could be probability.
One was at 7am, the other was just last night at 7pm. Possibility of the 12 hour respawn timer continues for me. Both kills in Bor's Breath, right south of Valkyrion.
Shadow Council is starting to have a LOT of people with this mount.

K, now I'm really @#$%ed...freakin drake...
I logged back in from trying a few new twinks sometime between 9pm and 10pm, funny thing, my macro immedtialy hit gold, only Vyragosa though, within macro range from where I was. I was just like "damn phew... if that had been TLPD I would have missed him by maybe a few minutes".
Well, not quite, like 2mins after I spotted the corpse he despawned. Still, it was not TLPD and given his usual freakin respawn I figured "k, no camping for at least 6 hours, there's like a 0% chance he'll spawn anytime soon". I checked the script all this time, nothing, not looted.
Now I log in on that character again, check the script - he was looted! It's now maybe 3.5-4 hours later
.... for god's f*ckin sake....
No screenshots because I didn't think to make a screenshot of a dead Vyragosa... again... -.-
As I said I thought there's NO chance he'll spawn let alone be found and killed any earlier than 6 hours later, more like longer.
I immediately checked the whole known route-"network", no corpse, so he either despawned already, making the spawn having taken place something like ~3hours after Vyragosa, or he was skinned, no way of telling.
I cleared my local cache just to be certain the data didn't carry over from another server - it didn't. -.-
Damn I hate that drake by now.
I camp him one week, 8-24 hours a day - nothing... my account gets hacked, he spawns in the 2 days it takes me to whipe my harddrive and set Windows up again and WoW and so on...
Then I take a 3-4 hour break, somewhat, immediately after a Vyragosa kill, and he spawns.
When I finally get him I'll really, really enjoy killing him.......

Ok... quickreminder... save yourself some pain and be sure to clear your local cache if you switch between different servers when playing...-.-
I freaked out - a lot - right now because about 4 hours ago there was another Vyragosa kill here (was fortunate enough to log on and immediately see the corpse near my camp, 2mins after that she despawned), so I figured "k, no TLPD in the next 6 hours at least" and checked a few twinks on other servers.I might have checked the TLPD script there, not sure, can't remember.
Just logged back on my main character, check the script and it tells me the item was looted... like 4 hours after a Vyra kill, I definitely did not think that was possible so I was p*ssed.
Just to be certain I logged out, wiped my local cache, logged back in and, tada, nothing, still receiving information, checked with atlasloot too, nothing..... phew........ Shift-linking the item also doesn't work. Seems like the data carried over from another server. Definitely gonna remember that next time...

i didnt go back through all the comments to double check, but i'm pretty sure its been proven TLPD doesnt share a spawn with dirkee. the proof being they have both been up at same time. plus dirkee doesnt fly so how do they share anything?
i had a gm tell me he believes a gang of server gremlins are running a racketeering scam regarding the spawn of TLPD, and that he was gonna beat them down for me.
gm's are enjoying this, they get to mess with people. look at some of the stuff blizz does, they get off on toying with us.

Finally got it after a week of camping. I am convinced it spawns twice a week as for the past two weeks it has spawned on Sunday and Tuesday. Appeared in front of me at 26,55 at 1:10 AM Tuesday, fairly close to the ground and very slow moving towards Valkyrion. Within minutes of it's death, Horde and Alliance swarmed the area to spit on me in congratulations, thanks friends !

Yes, it is cross faction, 100% fact. I am horde and was unable to link the Reins of the Black War Bear (alliance version) until Alliance killed all our Horde leaders. Same goes for this, was unable to link it until an alliance character looted the reins. All the link does is query the server for the information. The server doesn't care what faction has it, just as long as the data is available.

That made no sense when the other GM said that he despawned. I think he was just trying to be vague or some sort of obscure hint, and in actuality was just handing out wrong information.
I think the "despawning" is because of the phasing. If you were to be following the TLPD, you would see it "despawn" as it changed phases because to you, it would disappear, (just like you disappear to other players when you enter a different phase to them.) But at that point, it would actually look like it just spawned to someone else in a different phase.

Hi everybody,
It's been 15 days since I began to camp TLPD as you know, tonight I knew exactly where he was supposed to spawn: Bor's breath between 18pm and 2am. I started to camp at 19pm while reading a book. At 10h45pm I went to the kitchen to have a glass of coke and I came back to my computer at 10h47, my macro hit gold at this moment, and.........TLPD was dead just down below, one of my friend who was camping him with me killed him and looted the mount a few seconds after he spawned right on me. (spawned right above the little waterfall in BB)
I don't know what to say but one thing I'm sure of is I won't sleep tonight, maybe I'll have to get some pills.
But I'm about to know the entire truth about TLPD, I can almost plan where he will spawn and when.
I'll tell you everything in a week when i'll be 100% sure and I won't stop camping til i get him ! I can tell !
PS: I hope Nonetity will get it, good luck man ! wait him in BB and you'll see him !
评论来自
nonentity
hehe, thanks ;) Not sure anymore about the day I started camping but I guess I'm pretty much also at 15, 16, something like that.
Yeah, I'll stay here in BB, saw 3 Vyras in the last 3 days I was camping here, so I guess it's not that bad a spot.
Just wondering if that actually indicates that there'll be a good chance of him spawning here or rather a a good chance of him spawning anywhere BUT here... :/
But thanks for re-confirming the spawn at the little waterfall.
After watching the clip that showed Vyra coming down the Frosthold mountain I wasn't so sure about it anymore.
Still don't get her coming down from the Frosthold mountain... does she fly up there one side, down the other, possibly, when flying up the waterfall, instead of flying into BB continue rising, fly down the other side of the mountain? Or might there be a spawn up there?
That'd finally complete the 4 spawns, but that would put them awfully close to each other (North of Valk, South of Valk/at BB little waterfall, on the Frosthold Mountain, at Engine).
That would just be weird, taking the long and far away Ulduar/Terrace route into account....
But well, maybe that's exactly why the devs put it that way, because people would think "no, that can't be it, that doesn't make sense"
....... like anything about that mob makes sense.
I've given up following Vyra by now though... Everytime I try to follow her some idi.... person.... attacks her shortly after that.

Interesting tid-bit of information at the wowinsider article. Nothing of concern for the hunt itself, but nice to know nonetheless
"As a side note: In 1992 Synapse and Silicone made "The Lost Vikings" a videogame abut Vikings lost in Time. In 1994, the sequel was released adding a playable gold dragon named Scorch who was lost in time with the vikings. S&S would later change their name to Blizzard entertainment and produce WoTLK, featuring a continent that was formerly populated by a viking like race and coincidently, with a "Time-Lost" gold dragon. ;)"
http://www.wowinsider.com/2008/12/03/seeking-the-time-lost-proto-drake/5#comments
So much for the name, guess we know now where that comes from. Scorch, golden dragon, lost in time, in a land formerly populated by a viking race...
TLPD, a bronze (~~ gold) dragon, Time-Lost/lost in time, the Vyrkul...
Now gotta look on information on this Scorch, maybe he had some characteristics our TLPD shares....
edit:
The guy who posted the Ulduar route said that Vyra took a little .. extra trip (about that
http://www.wowhead.com/?maps=67:445264459264470264481264497256512242527240545244546256547291544318529330510335496339476359

just stumbled over that in the lost vikings 2 script:
Scorch : Hmmm. Scorch, the magic dragon, living by the sea. I have always wanted to see the sea. Okay... I'll come.
That would fit, sorta.

IMMEDIATELY, when the server came up, Vyragosa spawned. She died at 2:35pm and despawned at 3:05pm.
At exactly 4:35pm, TLPD spawned. She died at 4:37pm and despawned at 5:07pm.
Two hours difference. I was out of the zone, I was hoping for a six hour respawn. This is NOT THE CASE.
My theory is an HOUR Respawn, just a chance per hour for TLPD to pop up.

did you see both corpses personally?
I saw vyragosa dead slightly NE of K3 at 5:10 server (pst). I was hoping this path was a myth =(. She was actually in the field with the things that zap the creatures running thru. I wonder if they will zap her if she gets too close. Does anyone have idea of where the spawn point for this path might be? I would assume not too awfully far away since she was killed during peak hours but I could be wrong.

Found dead Vyragosa at approximately 31.37 at 5:44 PM. Approximately 4:45 hours after the server reset.
Probably was pulled over by someone from that huge Ulduar - Snowdrift Plains - Bor's Breath - Foot Steppes - Terrace of the Makers - Ulduar route.
Screen:
Vyragosa
Edit: A few people asked already, but I don't think anyone ever answered. Does TLPD cast or is he a melee? I tried aggroing a few drakes in Foot Steppes and practicing my Dismount, Damage and Slowfall routine - they would move down a little and then start casting from far away, more than 30 yards and eventually deaggro. Hope TLPD is just pure melee.

i just had a nice little chat with a GM.. he told me that the 3 Rare's do share spawn..
also he said TLPD aint affected by phasing by himself.. the way i understand his answer, if you are on a quest that phases an area you wont be able to see him cos he is in the normal world phase.. but im not entirely shure about this.. i dont think he understood my question completely..
for completeness, here is the ticket i wrote:
is the mob "Time-lost Proto drake" bugged?
since the mob has 100% drop chance on "reins of the time-lost proto-drake" it is easy to check if anyone has killed it by using a script to link the item
if the item has dropped you can link the item
but you couldnt just before server reset
is it possible for it to not spawn at all for a week? or is it bugged? or was it spawned but noone killed it.. a GM told me it cant despawn by it self, but if it was up im 100% shure someone would have killed it
and here's our chat:

i know people says multiple of em can be up at the same time and such.. but yea why shouldnt that be possible? it seems like the spawn timer is pretty short (or maybe random) and in theory one could spawn and not be killed untill after another has spawned.. ofc its unlikely, but it could happen..
i've only seen dirkee twice and vyra once (havent been camping hardcore) but all 3 was on same minute of the hour.. ofc its highly coincidental that i saw em all at **:27 (both dirkee dead, vyra alive) but it could hint they spawned at the same time too, cos they're likely to be killed within a very short time..
edit: just saw dead Vyra right on the BB waterfall at 14:30 server time.. im pretty shure spawn time is around **:15-20, possibly every hour (possible with a chance that none of em spawn)

I killed TLPD on the deathwing server on the snowdrift plains at about 6:30 am.

Today at 13:23,
EXACTLY
two hours after my server had got back on, Vyragosa spawned for me. I was at the frozen lake part of Bor's Breath and saw her flying down from the top of Frost Hold mountain, so she must have spawned from up there.
Stayed ever since but no spawns so far, and the macro for item link doesn't work yet.
I believe that TLPD and Vyra have a chance to spawn every hour counted from when the server is brought up, which would fit in with others having same spawn times in a row while others have times that are different from those times but still get same for themselves. Would be great if others could help confirm/deny this theory.

That's similar to a theory I thought of when AdmiralSnackBar mentioned a TLPD spawn only 2hours after a Vyra kill - what if the mobs have spawn chance that increases when they don't spawn?
example:
each hour after the last kill (or whatever) Vyra got a chance to spawn of 10%, TLPD of 2%. If one doesn't spawn, his chance to spawn the next hour increases, ie 10% + extra 5% chance = 15% for Vyra, extra 1% = 3% for TLPD.
This way there would be a very low chance for TLPD to spawn just an hour after Vyra was killed, but it's very low indeed, thus nearly no reports of such a thing.
After a few hours the chance for Vyragosa to spawn would have increased to be at like 40% so she'd be pretty likely to spawn. This could be in the area of 6hoursr, 8 hours or whatever, thus quite a few spawns after that.
But as luck would have it the chance could increase to 90% and she stil wouldn't spawn. Maybe after 24 hours the chance will increase to 100%, so she will spawn.
But she might spawn/patrol at the Ulduar/Terrace route, which only a few days ago people knew pretty much nothing about.
She might have actually spawned, maybe at 5am and she could have just been missed because no one checked the area. That'd explain the "days without spawn".
Just an idea. Pretty much everything and nothing makes sense with this thing by now.

im not shure.. but i think the "chance to spawn every hour" thing is right.. but i doubt it is increased every hour.. at least for TLPD..
and your "days without spawn" theory.. no.. the ulduar route goes through BB wich is the spot most seems to camp..
but even if you and 20 mates camp the area 24/7 it could still spawn somewhere else and be killed by some random guy who dunno anything about theese rare's.. nomatter how hard you camp it could happen and you could believe none spawned for days..

Imo, TLPD/Vyra can spawn every half hour since server reset.
And I agree with OverOne on one of them being killed without anyone saying anything. Especially if Vyragosa spawns and is killed... by some grinder/quester who won't say anything in gchat. After all, killing a rare is not that big a deal unless it drops an epic mount.
评论来自
AdmiralSnackbar
That's a possibility, though some servers still have the "Item Link Macro" not function for days...which should pop up no matter who killed her.
Perhaps the probability algorithm never exceeds a certain percentage chance? Since we're almost positive that the TLPD USES a Vyragosa spawn, perhaps it's a percentage chance on top of the percentage chance for Vyragosa to spawn.
Vyragos has a 50% chance to spawn, TLPD has a 10% chance to spawn INSTEAD when Vyragosa does. That puts her probability way lower, obviously, but that makes the most sense to me.
All I know is, our server has seen her twice in two days. I'm going to go crazy tonight farming.

I have to tell you something and I need people to confirm what i'm trying to figure out.
The first TLPD on my server was killed on Tuesday december 2nd
The second TLPD was killed on tuesday december 9th at 11h35pm
The third TLPD was killed on tuesday december the 16th at 10h45pm
I noticed he spawned every tuesday evening since 3 weeks
so i'm thinking that he spawn only once a week and regularly (every 7 days)
Some people on other realms said they saw him spawn 2 times in a week with 6 hours only between the 2 spawn so maybe what happened on my realm is just a coincidence but I wanna know if there are some other people who noticed a respawn every 7 days on their realm.

Thinking on it again, our server is having a lot more spawns recently. Is it possible Blizzard increased the spawn chances?
I kind of hope so and I kind of don't, at the same time.
评论来自
AdmiralSnackbar
It's possible the other people who killed her aren't of your faction or don't advertise it. It could also be your server, I'm not sure.
I will say that every time my server has come up from Maintenance, Vyragos or TLPD was THERE. Without fail. No idea what to take of that.
评论来自
OverOne
AdmiralSnackbar: yea but when i said "it" i actually meant any of em..
TLPD could theoretically never ever spawn on your server (according to the GM i chatted with)... but you could still not spot any of em (all 3 rares according to the GM) for weeks if for example youre really unlucky and only vyra spawns and is skinned..

Well ive read all 900 odd posts, and tbh i think everyone has gone nuts nothing makes sence apart from the spawn points. Its a totally rare random spawn ! Ive farmed TLPD 24 hours a day for 8 days now and only saw Vyra once. 2 Maintence's have gone past and TPLD still hasnt been looted according to that macro. Thats 24 hours a day for 8 days no way he could have spawned.From the GM comments in the last posts makes sence that some servers/possibilities exist that he will never spawn and i think our server is heading that way. (LB - EU).
3 Hordes have it no ally!
Make of that what you will but imo stop guessing and trying to be clever, its like the lottery, pass by every now and then check and hope you are one of the millions that have been lucky enough to aquire it.
Just think about it 11 million people play WoW, how many have posted they got it in 900 posts work the math out like 20 people.
It's Blizz's joke and they have 2 of the best people from EQ farming to help them make it even more painful.

Just sacked Vyragosa at 10:45am on US Dalaran. About crapped myself when I heard wings while tabbed out - I was sitting on my drake while landed to NOT hear its wings going. Camped out on the ledge at 30,68, appeared above and a few yards in front of me. Had to lift up and fly a few meters myself to get in range, deathcoiled for tag, then lager'd down safely to the ground. She did not deaggro via this method, as I was afraid she might. Dots took the rest. Dirkee absolutely frickin' murders me, this chick hits like a baby. If TLPD hits like this, no problem for any clothie.
At present, no sighting of TLPD since reset - the cache macro is not coughing up the goods.
Edit: Despawned, as per prior discovery, exactly one half hour later. Nobody came by to skin her.

After searching for this mob over 2 weeks, i saw a ppl which mounted TLPD today, i talked with him and he said that he got the mob this morning around 05:00 and while i was talking to him, another ppl came and mounted ANOTHER DAMN TLPD and /wave'd to him ... I whisped him that "when you got this one" too , he answered that he got it this afternon.... i was like WTF but he said that "it may sound wierd but , this is truth" .... One of them found it on Bor's Breath, other one said that he found it @ HoL entrance.... So , no sign for 2 weeks in my camping ( 3 vyra 1 dirkee ) , but 2 DAMN spawns while i was @ heroics in a single day.......
Good luck who's camping this, i dont think im gonna resume tbh.

im fairly sure that its safe to assume at this point that the TLPD is a rare spawn of a rare spawn (Vyra)....so it is well within the realm of possibility for TLPD to spawn twice in a row....and its just as plausible for it not to spawn in any given day(s).....
if you can figure out when vyra spawns (the most common one ive seen is every 6 or 8 hrs - though my findings seem to indicate somewhere around 10 hrs) then you can figure out when you got a CHANCE at finding TLPD

So finally just killed vyra.. no tlpd yet though!
I have killed Dirkee on the terrace before, facing uldular, but this time I was just doing a couple of quests out on the edge of the snowdrift plains. I had done a few and turned them in in the inn, walked back out the door and macro hit gold. I am talking the small quest hub in just beside the snowdrift plains.
I had no idea how frustrating it was to kill this guy. Sure hes weak but hes crafty. almost died twice. lucky I was alone!
First off I slowfell and somehow misjudged the range of my taunts, and I was really high up so I had to watch him fly away as I helplessly fell slowly. went after again this time aggroed, but managed to land in the middle of a group of jormungars and elementals. Vyra just stayed way up in the air and icebolted me so I couldnt get any attacks off. Deathgrip also wouldnt pull out of the air, mob is immune. almost killed me on third attempt as well but my frost plague and deathcoil killed it mostly.
Be careful where you pull!

its height varies. in some areas its about 200 yards up in the air, in other areas its as close as 35-40. all in all you will almost certainly take some fall damage or need to use a snowfall lager in order to pull. I say again though, its really tough to pull vyra, probably tougher than tlpd. Just tough in that it stays out of melee range and casts on you so be ready to use a few health pots until it expends its own mana.

I wouldn't give too much credit to the blizz page. That page just really needs to be proof read. It also says that the Red Proto-Drake is from completing all Northrend normal difficulty raid achievements when it is in fact from completing all of the heroic dungeon achievements.

The fact Blizzard gave proto-drakes the flying animation of a constipated paraplegic bat and this particular one skin the color of a dog's vomit makes not having one at least slightly less painful. Nevertheless, the hunt continues...

I saw Vyragosa today, flying over Valkyrion, at approximately 27.8, 61.7. On top of that building is where I engaged. I have yet to see Dirkee or Time-Lost, but I think this location might confirm any suspicions as to patrolling areas. She was flying south, heading towards Bor's Breath.

So as i can see in a SS of conversasion with the GM , it can spawn in 3 different places.
I tried to "cheat" to find them using questhelper custom objectives.
"/qh find time-lost protodrake"
if the mob has been killed and the reins of the time-lost protodrake exist in the server cache,
questhelper can show u 2 "spawn" places witch are 28,65 & around 27,49.
Also i noticed something more.
I am using this custom objective a long time now and the spawn place that questhelper shows on the map differes between those 2 , so it may really work and shows me the spawn place that the time-lost protodrake spawned the last time.
Here is a SS of the map with the objective on

Good luck!

TLPD killed at 45, 60. 12:15 am. Server: Gorefiend. Flying north at an altitude of maybe 60 yards. Macro started spamming me with the raid warning and I about freaked out. Flew right up, earth shocked and hit my snowfall lager. Lukily he followed me all the way down where I was able to kill him pretty easily. A horde lock came and killed me but the time-lost was already dead. I flew back, ressed and let him kill me again just so I could loot. Then flew back again and killed the lock. By this time there was at least 4-5 horde and a couple alliance around. I feel damn lucky. (Screenshot submitted.)

i am making this custom objective every time i log in.
And everytime i log in , in the same place like i am standing in the screenshot.
And i can surely tell u that "it puts the skull at the nearest known spawn" is not true 100% , there have been several times that the skull shows in the north place..
ANyway questhelper can proove 2 spawns and thit is the point of my post ;)
Also if u run the que for vyragosa , it seems that it has more spawn points that diferes with the 2 confirmed (by quest helper) for TLPD

it should goto a roll if not already looted so long as the kiler loots, so in theory so long as u pass on roll u should be able to pass to someone else same as if a group member wasnt near for kill but can be near at looting time for the pickup. least i've had such things happen like that before but then that coulda been a bug

Yeah , and how u explain that i run the objective for TLPD and nothing shows,the same time the script for checking the server cache if the is stuck to retreiving item info.
Some minutes after running again the objectives and this time it finds the dragon.Also this time the script warks ,so someone has looted.
For the reason that i did it in about 5 minutes i went there to check for the corpse on myself.
And ofc i found the corpse.
So ,as it seems when u are searching for something to create an objective, qh checks (also) the server cache (maybe).
the sure thing is that questhelper on its own does not have such info .

First of all thanks for all the posts and at times fun reading!
Just wanted to input my way of "slackgrinding" this mount:
Make the handy ingame macro:
/tar Dirkee
/tar Vyra
/tar Time
/stopmacro
/tell YOURNAME > %t <
Bind the new macro to a key ingame. (I used this: | )
Get a new keyboard (why not use a little extra on a good keyboard when you obviously have no problem sitting hour after hour on your machine) that will let you make macros:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logitech_G15
Make your timed keyboard macro! WoW detects some timed events it seems and not all works as intended; but this seems to work like a charm for me: {press | 0.025 sec - wait 0.750 sec - press | 0.025 sec - wait 0.750 sec - press | 0.025 sec - wait 0.750 sec}
Or just look at this image:
http://www.tseierstad.no/wow/images/g15macro.jpg
Make sure you have set the macro repeat option to TOGGLE as this will be your "on/off" button for your repeated macro
Download this mod or similar:
http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/chat-sounds.aspx
(Configure with /chatsounds and set the MOST anoying sounds for incoming and outgoing whispers - Disable all game sounds, as the mod plays the sound files anyway.
Place yourself in your best spot you can think of after reading this thread
Start up your favorite TV show on screen number two =) Activate wow window again; and hit your G15 button. Now just fly round until you hopefully hear the sounds play. NB! when agroing something you WILL be arroused thinking you hit gold.. it is just the macro playing you a trick since you just aquired a target ;)
Now im gonna put this to the test =) Happy hunting fellow geeks!

I like this targetting macro MUCH better because it doesnt spam your chat box and it automatically untargets if you accidentally get aggro from something. It also doesnt spam the sound if the target is dead but it still targets it.
/cleartarget
/tar Time-Lost
/stopmacro ,
/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\interface\\RaidWarning.wav")
I actually use 2 different macros so that I know instantly if its TLPD or just dirkee/vyra. This is the other one.
/cleartarget
/tar Dirkee
/tar Vyragosa
/stopmacro ,
/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Spells\\Bonk1.wav")
and wow, that is a nice keyboard but its also $100.

Reporting from Magtheridon EU. I have the exact location of one of the spawns. Above Valkyrion, a little north of the south gate. I can also confirm that Vyragosa and TLPD shares this spawnpoint because I've seen both of them spawn there.
Vyragosa spawned at 15.15 exactly 49 hours after the TLPD was killed east of the engine of the makers. I believe these two drakes share spawntimers, and that they have a small chance of spawning every hour.

Last confirmed Vyra spawn here was about...39 hours ago... -.- was out for a few hours last evening, even if she spawned back then it would be easily 12+ hours since the last spawn. I'm checking 2 spawn points together with a friend so I got a pretty good chance of getting him. Luckily script still turns up nothing, so at least TLPD wasn't killed then.
Nearly had a heart attack right now, I'm above the blue drake field and spotted some green/bronze proto-drake beneath me... *heart stops* target it... it's a blue drake with some disease or whatever from the guy that was fighting him... phew.. woulda killed me to lose him being that close.

can upload a bunch of SS's if anyone like.. but its not really special.. it just loops the route over and over...
this is the route
Map
notice it does not fly down into Bor's breath.. it flies above it up to the side of the mountain, then turns and head down again towards valkyrion..
i killed it in hope more will spawn on other routes... and this is the first Flying mount i ever try.. damn its big and clumsy when used to flight form xD
edit: bah cba to sort the pixx or stuff.. so just made a zip of em if any wanna peek:

I just killed Vyragosa on the Skywall server @ 1:34p, PST at 28.1, 49.3 coords. She was headed into Valkyrion, right above the little ice cave with the Mechagnome in it. She dropped a Azure Dragonhide blue boomkin helm and 16g +20 Frostweave cloth. She was maybe 100 yards up from the ground, right at the height of the tallest pine tree at those coord's but the macro showed her dead body from an unbelievable height... those /tar macros really do have a hell of a range on them.
Hope this helps! :)

I just killed him at around 2:40PM server time on the Kil'jaeden server. I saw him coming out of Sifreldar Village heading down and in front of BB before I tagged him. He hit me for like 500 damage each (and I'm a clothy), so yeah, he's REALLY easy to kill. More of a "find this guy earn a free mount!" deal. Below is a screenshot of my kill. It took around 15 minutes or so before he despawned.

Nice.
What bothers me though... at several pictures there seems to be a .... "tear" right down the middle......
for example between WoWScrnShot_122108_214736 and WoWScrnShot_122108_214738, right down the middle. Not only does it go through the "world" but also right through your UI... what's up with that?

i just viewed the pics they all look fine to me O.o; all i did was use the windows viewer ~shrugs~ but thats awesome that you disproved people's saying that it de-spawned after x amount of time ^^
the pathing also gives me hope i can find this rare mount on the live server where i have been camping the same spot for almost a week (not including my other 3 weeks of flying all over the place trying to catch this guy xP )
great job on it ^^ and I never even thought of trying to find him an watch his pathings on a private server, and good luck finding another spawn for the other pathings on ptr ^^

Same here, also using the standard Windows XP viewer, it is the zoom-setting it seems, when I zoom in it looks the same. No clue why the hell it displays this way, I view the pics in the normal zoom setting, there it's... "bugged". When I zoom in it's fine.
Weird...
@disproving the despawn - not true imo. Gotta remember this is Test server. What's true there isn't necessarily the same way on Live servers.
Who knows, maybe they remove, him despawning, in 3.08?
That's not on a Private Server, but on the PTR, Public Test Realm, the official Test server.
I'd actually love for someone who runs a private server to check into TLPD. They got GM permissions and so on there so they should be able to find out and reveal a great deal more information than official GMs are allowed to/want to.
The shown route has been pretty much confirmed already, but very nice to actually see it. My camp in BB isn't ideal, but if he makes it here I should definitely see be able to catch him with the macro.
btw, now at 49h no spawn, either or the 2 or 3 -.- Even if Vyra spawned while I was out yesterday we'd be at bout 28 hours of nothing already... great. Either that means nothing at all, or it means that he's bugged or that this is the 'foreplay' and he'll finally spawn, maybe tomorrow, maybe in two days.... no clue.
One Vyra I killed bout in the middle of Bor's Fall actually seemed to have slipped "into" the waterfall, even seconds after I killed her I could still target her with the macro but couldn't see her anywere near and I imagine seeing her slipping downwards after I killed her. I figured she's just 'end up' on the lower step so I didn't really pay attention, but a few seconds after I took off and I turned round and decided to sit our her despawn - couldn't find the body anywhere near where I killed her, yet was still able to catch her with the macro. Maybe a clipping error or whatever.
Unfortuantely I don't remember if that was the last Vyragosa I killed or not, maybe that somehow bugged the spawns....

yea ofc PTR dont proove anything, but i really doubt they've changed it..
and i dunno, but i dont think a private server would help.. I really doubt Pservs have official data for anything that cant be seen through normal clients.. the rest is just made by the people who made the Pserv.. else all data of the game would allready be known.. boss tactics wouldn't say "hits for about x on plate" etc.. everything would be exact numbers..
but i did try a Pserv... but it was just an old beta.. no npc's in storm peaks at all.. :s
Edit: just followed Vyra on the Ulduar route.. on.. hmm.. spanish PTR i think.. hehe.. (edit again, it was still there an hour later.. was easy to kill in resto gear as 0/0/0 spec luls)
MrReeds route isnt entirely true.. but he talks about it clipping with a building in the east end of ulduar, so maybe they corrected the route to prevent it.. anyways.. it flew over the gorge between Ulduar and terace like
this
(route not 100% accurate but its close enough and you can spot em from pretty far away anyways.. ;) )

macro hit gold just as I logged on. I'd searched for him about 2 weeks until I took a break from looking for this to get to 80. i'm glad i did!
found him at 32,65, and then flew two circles around bor's breath until i finally caught up to him at 36,66 (regular mount speed). you can still see him from about 30-35 yards away. I was actually surprised to see how low he was flying when I first saw him - about 10-15 yards off the ground.

Just lost (no pun intended) him for a %^&*ing second time to someone by 2-5 minutes. Was just taking a break to eat dinner, BAM, just as I finish storm peaks and head into Icecrown, there is his corpse. :(
I give up now. If I randomly see him? Good, awesome free mount. But I am deffo NOT going to be camping him again, ever.
Edit: Lightbringer EU- and soz, corpse wasn't in IC, was in Valkyrion just as I was going to IC- sorry bout the confusion. And I was camping it for a month and a half and I gave up after that- not just a few days if that's what you were thinking.

Shortly after I read your post (OverOne) about the PTR TLPD route I came across Vyragosa. My macro hit in a typical camp spot of mine near the waterfall in BB. I had positioned myself slight higher than normal because I read a few posts about TLPD coming down the mountain near Frosthold. Per your screen shots on the PTR it is clear that TLPD does indeed do come down the Mt. near frosthold as part of its route. I can CONFIRM that I followed Vrya for 2 complete circles of the SAME exact route you posted that the TLPD was on. Thus, it further shows that TLPD and Vyra are most likely on the same routes on live as well as the PTR shown by OverOne's images.

Two questions:
Is there a 'server reset' each Tuesday (for US) where the server cache would be reset, and if so, at what time is it?
And, after server resets, is there a guarantee one of these mobs will be spawned?
Thanks in advance.

After camping suggested patrol routes for several days, I had decided on giving up on my relentless hunt for my elusive quary, I mean, why would it appear for me? I'm the unluckiest guy in the world right? Wrong!
I was gathering herbs around the clearing just at the west end of Bor's Breath, spamming my macro to no avail when I see a particularly appealing Icethorn growing under a withered tree. 'That's the herb for me!' I exclaimed, and went about gathering it.
Just as I mounted and started flying north toward Valkyron I heard several blip's and immediately recognised it as Prat ordering me to check my chat log. They were whispers... from me. < Time-Lost Proto Drake >, < Time-Lost Proto Drake > they were screaming at me with a sense of urgency about them.
Now I know why he is called Time-Lost, for when I realised I had caught him in my catchnet of a macro, time stood still. 'Whats that banging noise, it's getting faster' I thought. It was my heart. My hands began to tremble with excitement and fear. I glanced around nervously and caught site of a Netherdrake zooming by in the distance.
Was he going to come this way? has he macro'd it too? No. The wave of relief that washed over me was palpable.
I looked around and caught site of my prey just leaving Valkyron and heading northward.
I soon caught up with my magnificent target as was flying at a leisurly pace, unaware of his impending doom and engaged him in the pass between Valkyron and the snow plains.
Not very high at this point I thought as I dismounted mid-flight and landed a Shadow-word:Death. Crit! exclaimed the large numbers above his head as I levitated slowly earthward. The raging battle that ensued felt like it lasted an eternity, when in reality it was only a few seconds. Victorious!.
The drake was mine!
Ok, enough of the creative nonsense :p
Valkyron may be a possible spawn point for this beauty as i was spamming the macro all the time just south of the place at the clearing and picked up nothing, then I picked it up heading north of Valkyron in the pass. Nothing is for certain with this mob, but it is a strong possibility.
You can see the location
Here
on my minimap and carbonite map.
Hope this helps someone else get this simply beautiful mount.
Peace

Hi all :)
Going trought the comments , was like reading a great dragon hunt book with all of you hunters noting down every possible theories...
so i decided to join the hunting party and get that trophy ...ouuuyééé
i've have seen all the maps posted and ideas suggested, i relied on screenshots mainly !
1- all the maps and paths posted good to follow, from Ulduar To K3
Vyragosa in ulduar (( i don't know if it was pathing or not, the macro hooked it, turned the camera around like crazy for 1 sec...then saw her head going out of the green area in the wall , head first then the body, maybe she was passing througt the bulding ! almost sure she has just spawned because i was on my way back then i catched her ( i don't afk Oh no ! ).
i couldn't pull her ): if your are a melee class, i think don't pull her, or call a friend caster,because she won't go down,playing a war i did a heroic throw and fall a pretty, it kept spaming frost bolt, i did wathever i could to get to it, noway, untill i brought it next the camp guards that killed it she almost had me; and guess what no loot !
My personal map :

I heard first time about this from my brother, not long ago. Having leveling still to do, I ignored this whole thing and said that I would never fall to farming that thing. Later on, I came curious about that dragon and so I started this morning the patrolling around Storm Peaks. So far, I were lucky enough to spot and kill Vyragosa and now im really excited to spot, Time-Lost Proto Drake. Intresting thing was, Vyragosa was flying in Terrace of Makers (high above the big structures). After killing him, I looked at the map which has been posted here, and saw that this dragon was flying pretty randomly according to that map. I didnt spot him because of the patroll route I do, no. It was just pure luck, and now Im wondering if the same goes for Time-Lost Proto Drake. So what I think is, Time-Lost Proto Drake will spawn eventually after he is dead, but has nothing to do with the two other rares. And also, I think this dragon patrolls whole Storm Peaks, strongly between Terrace of Makers and Ulduar.
Ofcourse this is just my thought on this, but I sure keep searching every spot, not only those where Vyragosa has been killed.
BTW: I dont think that Time-Lost is hostile to anyone, except players. Cmon, both of the dragons are very weak, wouldnt it be strange to see rare that has been killed by some normal mobs. Not to mention those white birds, which are elites (forgot names).
I whish everyone luck and happy hunting. Now I think myself too, that this dragon is worth farming if you really want it. Well not farming, but going to look for it once a day or so.

For those of us who are melee classes and who are having trouble fighting Vyragosa due to her staying high, I had the same problem when I started my hunt. The first time I saw her I was lucky enough to aggro her when she was passing over terrain high enough for me to to hit her from.
What I've done since then is fly through her to draw aggro, then stay on my mount and keep enough of a distance to make her stop using ranged attacks and start following me, without going so far that she loses interest. There's not a great margin of error but if you find that sweet spot she will follow you, and you can pull her down towards the ground or to an outcrop or ledge you can get stabby from. Of course, there's always the chance that some ranged class with come along and steal the kill since you won't have actually attacked it yet, but maybe it's possible to do this on foot too so you can get that all-important first hit in.
Oh, and I have no idea if any of this is relevant to TLPD, as I haven't seen him yet and don't know if he's prone to staying high up and using ranged attacks like Vyragosa is.
I've seen Vyragosa 6 times on Blade's Edge EU in the week I've been hunting, killed her 5 of those times and haven't seen TLPD once, not even as a corpse.
Good hunting everyone!
Oh and Vistadoesntsuck, that post has given me motivation for another week's hunting, thanks!

Hasnt been looted this week according to the script, and I have camped here 15+ hours a day since last reset, the RNG on this mob is seriously frustrating.
I have killed Vyragosa a total of 6 times this week averaging a spawn per day, and seen it dead once, 15 hours apart from my own personal kill, and Im curious to know how Vyra/Time-Lost react with server maintenance
Ah, 4:50 GMT, about 24 hours after my last kill -
http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/3820/wowscrnshot122308164822xx5.jpg
Exactly the same spawn point as 24 hours ago, Vyragosa has officialy spawned once every day this week on my realm, Iand I have had 6 of the kills, and helped on the 7th.

i know what u mean, ive seen him countless times to. but theres a ton of horde campin out for it to so i dont hear of all the spawns. i think blizzard really doesnt want this thing to spawn but once every blue moon. i heard the tlpd body stays for at least 30 mins or so after kill. i havnt even seen as much as a dead body but im going to try after servers go back up, that might be just what it needs to spawn

Insightful
I would like to add that Dirkee does NOT share a spawn timer with the Time-Lost Proto Drake. I found that Vyragosa spawned at 11:30 ST on Archimonde-US and Dirkee spawned at 1:30 ST. Coincidence? Maybe, but I do know that this isn't the first time Dirkee has spawned randomly. Vyragosa has a pattern of spawn with the Time-Lost Proto Drake where as Dirkee does not.
I can also conclude that the Time-Lost Proto Drake does not have a 6 hour spawn timer as it has not spawned in a week on my server. I find this because it has a 50% chance to spawn since it is shared with Vyragosa. Vyragosa does happen to spawn exactly 24 and/or 48 hours later from the time I saw her spawned and killed by another player.
An additional note, she was flying at the north entrance of Valkyrion at an equal distance from the village and the Temple of Storms at a height of a bout 50-70 yards. She has a ranged attack so people had to fly through her to pull her down to the ground. Fairly weak and I would of gotten the kill if I had not gotten blast-waved off a cliff by an alliance Mage =*(.
Again, Dirkee does not share a spawn timer with Vyragosa or the TLPD!

As a DK I would use strangulate to get vyragosa within range. When I killed TLPD he did not use 1 ranged attack it was all melee. He did a teleport thing like the warpstalkers do but other than that all weak melee.

I killed vyragosa 6 times personally. Saw her dead about 3-4 others. Before I got my TLPD I had never seen TLPD dead or alive. It was about 10:35 pm server (1:35 am my time) and he was coming from valkyrion going into bors breath. He despawned exactly 30 minutes after killed. 2 of the times I killed vyragosa I caught her in the same spot and in the same direction as my TLPD kill. 1 other time I killed her was in the same spot but coming from bors breath and around frosthold mountain. The lake between valkyrion and bors breath is an excellent camping spot imo.

on Firetree I just killed Vyra at 9:15pm server time. cords were 39, 63 and it looked like she was headed up to the brood mothers nest. wasn't super high from the ground, i'd say at the least the normal height or more common height these rares are reported at.
Not sure fi this is helpful or not to anyone, because as far as i can tell there is no common spawn time or link in times as to when the drake may spawn again. Also it seems to have been evading the firetree server for the past week, so hopefully it'll spawn at least once this week ^^;
~yes im still at it.. going on i think 5th week of this now idk i think i lost count somewhere x.x ~

Reposting the comment I've just made on Vyragosa page:
I've just followed Vyragosa on one of her patrol routes around Temple of Storms mountain. That was the third time I spotted her taking this path (out of 4 times I've already seen her alive), and all three times my macro dinged when she descended from the Frosthold mountain. I believe that this is one of her spawn points, evenmore once she made a full loop she flew over that point at insanely low height, almost descending to the ground level.
So the path I've followed her was like: Frosthold mnt -> Valkyrion -> Shadowdrift plains -> Terrace of Makers -> 38,49 -> Engine of Makers -> Abandoned camp -> Frosthold mnt. The most surprising thing for me was an attitude she takes over Bor's Breath... It's incredibly high!
Proof video:
http://vimeo.com/2617252
So I'll try to contribute to our TLPD research :) If TPLD and Vyragosa do share their pathes, I strongly believe that one of his spawn points is around 31,69 (on the Frosthold mountain slope).
Hope, it helps! Ghallar <Ultimate Chaos> of Kul Tiras EU.

i heard the TLPD's been killed today at 14h am ! more than 12 hours later still nothing ... and i also heard it was killed at 6 pm yesterday , i killed vyragosa around 3pm the same night
- if i rely on the info given by players in the general chan : less than one day spawn, can spawn 2 times in row and then not respawn for a while !
Good luck that's freaking too random

Ok. Now I have to say I have read all the comments. And from what I understand there are at least 10 people here who has seen/killed the dragonkin.
Everyone did it on different places, different times with different gaps between Vyragosa and Dirkee kills.
So to be really honest with you, have you still not figured it out?
He has his spawn locations, he has his routes and he has his spawn/despawn times. And they are and will always be different. There is no "effective" way to look for him. He pretty much hang around that area and what you need to do is to spend alots of time looking for him, AND GET LUCKY SOME DAY if you even will!
Im sorry to dissapoint you guys but from all the comments I get the feeling that everything is random with this mob. Think of it for a minute, he has 100% droprate on a Epic flying Proto-drake.
It is not supposed to be easy to find him. Just keep looking, and hope you and I get lucky.
I just killed Vyragosa standing on a peak, but she fell and landen in the middle of a peak making it impossible to loot. There was no place to stand. Im happy I bumped in to Vyragosa and not the Time-Lost Proto Drake. I learned a lesson now and I want you guys to be careful too.
Kill the dragonkin and make sure it is a safe place to be able to loot him afterwards.
Good luck to you all and myself! Some day...

Hi Guy´s
Well i got mine last week thursday after camping him for 2 week straight not sleeping much. My makro hit him as i was camping at BB there were the little waterfall is. First thought was ? what is this ? oh tlpd .........WTF ! omgomgomg went to him dismounted , shot , tried to use my snowfallthingermagig but somehow i didnt ^^ Died ! Schock ! couldent believe this was happening. Came back to my body, mounted and flew as fast i could. Got him again going up to the engine at that little camp and still was able to tag him ! :) Pulled him down blew his ass away and looted. I was the third to get him on the server from alli point. I also had a friend who camped with me every now and then. The funny thing is he downed him to at exakt the same spot pretty much exakt 12 hours later the same day, so maybe the 12 hour spawn is correct not that he spawns ever 12 hours but he or Vyra.
Well that was my fight for the lost one, to the guys still out there every night Dont give up, he´s out there! go get him he´s worth every hour ! :)
Happy Hunting
edit : he was flighing just a littel over the trees there not fast at about 60% his melee really suxx and he came in for melee right away. iwas pretty near him so i dont know what its like when he´s further away.

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.

There is a easier way:
Just try to link it in the guild channel. If a link is sent the item was seen since the last server restart. If only the text is sent it was not.
That way you don't have to delete your cache.

To those of you that have found the dragon; what loc were you camping at when you successfully "tagged" him?

but if you do it that way , once it has been looted the link will always work. in order to go back to retrieving item information you must delete ur cache folder.

No it wont, because the cache log is temporary because the mount is added to your "pets" item slots, after the Maintenance, the cache is refreshed, thus making the macro work

didn't get the kill but i still took them out xD so i feel better. As far as the mount goes it dosen't seem to have been looted yet this week so maybe i'll get lucky here soon ^.^ even if i don't it's still fun ... or at least maybe i'll figure out a sort of timer or spawn pattern or anything useful..
Oh vyra was heading into Valk and flying what looked to be the path where it loops near the HoL
didn't get to follow her as long as I wanted to.

I personally waited until server restart because it's impossible to track if you don't have any clues where to start or when it was killed etc.
So I checked every now and then from around 10:52 AM, time at which my server came up. After a few breaks, I followed the usual BB's Waterfall -> Engine route and there it was, Vyragosa lying dead in the intersection of these 2 areas, as
this screenshot
can confirm, at 5:53PM. I also read a few pages back that it spawned at 11PM for another guy who also waited for server maintenance.
To sum up, this means that you can wait for maintenance day, then start looking at these times. For me, today, it seems it took 7 hours to spawn, although something leads me to think the spawn timers are on multiples of 3, or up to 6.
I'll try to update this post with future findings, until then, happy hunting.

Something wierd is going on, on my server *icecrown*. I've litterally got 3 accounts logged in, in 3 seperate spawn areas (all grouped so I can tap and fly my main for the loot). All using a g15 macro keyboard to just spam that macro. Not a single rare has spawned since server came up from maintenace around 1:30pm yesterday. it's been almost 26 hours now..... :( Was a shame as last week I had around 5 Dirkee kills and 8 Vyragosa kills. Just missed TLPD by about 1 minute as I made a route. (part of the reason I swapped to logging all my accounts on and grouping, increased my rare kill count tremendously)

i think GM's are purposely contradicting each other for amusement
this is probably the main topic of hilarity on thier 15 minute smoke breaks :-P
GM1: I told this guy today that the Time-Lost is actually a rare spawn that only appears when you have become Exhaulted with Ravenholdt -
http://www.wowhead.com/?faction=349
, and they actually believed me!
GM2: LOL! Thats nothing though, I told a kid earlier that the Time-Lost only spawned for 30 seconds at a time, depending on the Lunar Tides and the gravitational pull of Neptune.
GM1: I really hope no one ever finds out the secret that you simply have to /yell Jous Dosstan!
GM2: I know right, then we would only have RL things to talk about while on our breaks from Blizz :-P

It just dropped for me on Stormrage EU, at 1.34am server time. It was flying counterclockwise around the temple of storms, through bors breath and valkyrion, and I tagged and killed it in the little passage just about Valkyrion. It came right into melee range, unlike Vyragosa, so it was a very easy kill. Hardest thing about it was trying to focus through the shakes!
Corpse stayed around for only 10 minutes.

Where is the difference?
Deleting your cache will query the server for the item. And the server will only send the item information if the item was seen (read: looted, because no one will not learn that mount as soon as he gets it) since the last server reboot. No difference if it was looted once or ten times.
Same for linking in the guild chat. If the item wasn't looted no link will be created (only text is sent). If the item was looted once (or ten times) since the last server reboot a link is sent.

I just killed Vyragosa at 27, 65 8:32AM EST on Zul'Jin. The location is just at the entrance to Valkyrion from BB. Vyragosa was moving Counter-Clockwise. Despawn time was 30 mins. I am 99% sure that her spawn location is at Valkyrion, or at least one of her spawn locations.

Hi. My first post here. I'm just stopping in to express my gratitude to all the people who have taken their time to give helpful hints on finding Time-Lost Proto drake ^^.
After 3 full weeks of farming Time- lost i just found him (xmas morning!). I found him in Bor's Breath EXACTLY 12 hours after i saw him killed by some horde N00b.
The #1 way i can suggest to you in finding time lost is finding him or Varygosa first, then going on with your day, write down the exact time and come back 12 hours later and do full circles of the Bor's breath and Foot Steppes, specifically paying most attention to Bor's breath. In the course of 3 weeks i have seen him spawn here by far the most, about 6/8 times, the other 2 were in Foot Stepps and up by Ulduar.
Other Suggestions :
Don't give up lol. Chances are your not going to be lucky with a quick pass through and find him. This drake is going to take some serious time and dedication. Make your macro and hold your ground, on my server at any given time there is 20+ people looking for him. You just need to find the best route and get there first, i'de suggest if you have a guildy in the zone that you contact him prior just in case you need to quickly invite him to group and ML so he can defend you. Horde will insta kill you if they see you killing Time lost, it has happend to me. The first time i found him, was in Bor's breath, 2 horde shammys set up totems popped hero and blew me away lol. So yeah, have backup handy if you can.
Suggestion 2- Bring pots if your not a healer, your probably going to take a lot of fall damage because he pats pretty high, I had to aggro him and pull him to the ground to avoid dying. If you know the time he is going to spawn by coming back 12 hours if you initially seen him insure you are SS'd to, that would help out alot.
Well thanks guys i hope some of this info helps out, and thanks to everyone else who has helped me :)
Merry x mas from Ner'Zhul.

Wow 20+ people at once? After about 11:00pm theres no one looking for it on my server. Thats why I started camping at night and thats when I got mine. He could spawn far away and would still make it to my camping spot cuz there would be no one to kill him.

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

Just made this account to tell you guys that i found TLPD about after 2 weeks of camping some days and just checking on others. I found him right about 46/61, right next to all the Stormpeaks Proto Drakes. I was spamming my macro and it hit gold. He was actually flying low enough that i could have stood on the ground and shot at him, didnt even need the snowfall loger. He was heading west towards the engine of the makers. Maybe he just spawned idk. But within those two weeks i have only seen vyragosa dead and my friend got one kill on TLPD while i was in a heroic. Good luck with this and thanks to all who gave me tips on where to find him.
OH ALSO, he was flying right next to all the other drakes and none were attacking him so i think that that theory that he is hostile to all mobs is BS. I got the kill on Dalvengyr US around 5:30 PM server time

well i started camping this thing about a week after lich king went live and i've killed vyragosa 6 times. untill tonight i have not seen dirkee or tlpd, not even their corpses. about 45 minutes ago my macro hit on dirkee. he was almost dead from a 78 dk. i went to do my dailies at BV, did the one thats right in the village, turned it in and headed to valkyrion. gathered my frost oils and killed the eggs, takes 5 minutes or less, then went to turn it in. opened my bag on the way straight back to my spot at intersection between frosthold and valkyrion and my macro hit TLPD. DEAD /suicide.
the only time i've ever wished i had crappy dmg. if i had been any slower killing the aspirants i'd have atleast had a shot at tagging it. oh well, christmas is ruined for me. grats to the nub ally that got it

well its completely different for me because after 1 week it had been found about 7 times. the next week it was found 1 time (maybe twice). then my friend told me in a week of farming 18 people in his guild had gotten it. infact they said 3 people had gotten it in the space of 13 hours. so i believe that it has a spawn time from 4-80 hours.

Hey guys, finally found mine and thought I'd share my method:
I'd been running routes for 2 weeks straight about 3-5 hours a day. I had my macro, patrol knowledge, etc. but wasn't too lucky. I read on one of these pages about the special keyboard that auto pressed the key to the '/tar' macro (or however it worked) and after sitting in my mind for a while I had an idea. Anyone who's played Runescape is familiar with auto-clickers and auto-typers. So after browsing I found a suitable one.
http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/Auto-Typer-And-Auto-Clicker-Download-52265.html
This is the one I used. You should be able to figure out how it works. Put WoW in windowed mode. Make sure your macro has both dragons and makes noise.
/target time
/target Vyragosa
/target dirkee
/stopmacro
/run RaidNotice_AddMessage(RaidBossEmoteFrame,"THERE IT IS! KILL IT!", ChatTypeInfo)
/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\interface\\RaidWarning.wav")
Now, from everything you've read in this topic, pick a single spot to
sit and wait
.Turn off all sound (Not volume, but un-check all the Playback selections). You'll still be able to hear the Raid Warning. Finally, run the client. Select the Auto Clicker and set a speed. Place your cursor over your macro. It doesn't look like it is clicking, but it is. You should place it over a spell to make sure it is working.
You're free to do anything you want now (off the computer), because surely you've turned the volume of your speakers all the way up so you can hear it will you watch a movie in the other room. You won't auto log out while using this, so for those of you with the computer in your bedroom, you will hear it when a dragon passes by during the night. It woke me up twice to Vyragosa, but alerted my to the real prize while I was playing my Xbox.
As a side note, for a camping spot I used the frozen lake south of Valkyrion (28,65) because this is a major intersection for each of the patrol routes, and I believe also a main spawn point.
I sincerely hope this helps, and I would love to answer any questions in order to return the favor to the community that made it possible to earn this awesome mount.
Thank you to the fellow campers on Altar of Storms for having a pleasant attitude, and if anyone on this server finds the TLPD using this method I hope to hear a /tell on my character Ðeathmeister.

Right, that would be my reasoning as well, but I've heard that auto-clickers are generally frowned upon by Blizzard due to the fact they circumvent the server boot function of AFKing, and evidence of auto-clickers in warden has been reason enough for a banhammer from Blizzard. I want this drake bad, but I'm not sure gambling my account over it is worth it.
Edit: After browsing the
terms of use
I've found this under section 2: "(the use of) ... automation software" is grounds for suspension of your account or worse. My advice for the auto clicker would be use at your own risk.

Thats another reason I decided to either be close to my comp playing xbox so I would hear it if I got whispered by a GM. Or leave it on late at night while im asleep cuz there is literally no one to report me late at night. If your computer is close you can turn the volume up really loud and even the sound of a GM whisper will wake you up. I would not have my TLPD right now if it wasnt for leaving an "auto clicker" running all night while im asleep. I camped this drake nearly non stop for the first week and it finally spawned while I was doing 1 heroic which took maybe an hour. Thats when I decided to start using the "auto clicker" and its what got me my TLPD.
I got the logitech G15 keyboard for xmas and it is a great keyboard even aside from the macro functions. Programming it to spam your macros is as easy as falling off a log and its also less buggy than programs like autoit. If you want a really nice keyboard and a huge asset in getting the drake I definately reccomend it. All you gotta do is bring up your logitech G-series keyboard profiler. Click settings>profiler then check record delays during quick macro creation. Log into WoW and hit the MR button (macro recorder). It will tell you to press a G key (the one you want assigned the macro) then you will press the key/s you want the macro to use and at the pace you want them pressed, then just hit the MR button again and your macro is saved. I use 1 macro for dirkee/vyragosa and 1 for TLPD, they are set to down and right (not a good idea if you use the keyboard to turn). Last thing you wanna do is open the keyboard profiler again and left click the macro you made. Scroll down to repeat options and check Toggle. Now you can toggle your macro on and off just by pressing the G key you assigned it to.
btw I believe that automation software is referring to programs like @#$%^& which actually moves your character around and makes them fight/loot etc.
I didnt know the name of the program is censor material, sorry about that =D

Finally she's mine! I'm on the US Ravenholde server, i've been hunting this drake for days with my 80 Orc Warlock Daku. The past few days I've mostly been reading all the information I could get on this drake and Vyragosa while periodically patrolling the known and hypothesized paths.
Tonight, December 27 2008, at approximately 10:37pm EST after reading some more info on the drake I alt-tabbed into the game and clicked on my macro (I was at 28,65) and immediately it gave me a loud raid warning and I saw those huge words in the middle of the screen telling me "There it is! Kill it!" First thought that came to my mind was that it must be Vyragosa, but I looked to the top-left corner of my screen and it said Time-Lost Proto Drake, I almost fell of my chair as I quickly told my windrider to go forward.
At that point I still had not made visual contact and I started to panic, but a second later I saw it at approximately 32,65 heading west towards me at an approximately 45 degree angle. I flew near its body until I got aggro and then I dismounted and casted shadowflame to try to tag it but that was a very bad choice because of its small range, I actually missed and the drake was the first to land a hit on me, actually two for a total of about 1000 damage. I forgot all about my snowfall lager and took 11555 damage from the fall. I told myself to calm down the tag is mine this drake is mines but all of a sudden an 80 Human Paladin named Settanna appeared and tried to kill me. I panicked once again wondering how embarrasing it would be to die and lose the drake to her. Seconds later I was dead but not before I killed the drake and looted its contents :)
The macro I used was basically a mix of the best elements I've found from the WowHead threads and other websites, this macro automatically selects this drake and Vyragosa and Dirkee (although it is now appearing as though he has no connection whatsoever with the drakes) and whispers you the target and gives a text raid warning on the middle of the screen and plays a loud raid warning sound. Also if you target something that's not one of these TOI for example a player this macro automatically deselects it:
/cleartarget
/tar Dirkee
/tar Vyra
/tar Time
/stopmacro
/tell Daku > %t <
/run RaidNotice_AddMessage(RaidBossEmoteFrame,"THERE IT IS! KILL IT!", ChatTypeInfo)
/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\interface\\RaidWarning.wav")
I spotted Vyragosa earlier today at my campsite at approximately 3:12pm EST, and she was killed about two minutes later.
For those of you who have been camping for long hours for the Time-Lost Proto Drake, keep trying, eventually this awesome mount will be yours! Here's proof:

*shaking*
damn, damn, damn, damn!
was camping, as always, at BB and suddenly the macro hit something, thought "Vyragosa again...." checked... NO "Time-Lost Proto-Drake".... first time in my life I see that bastard.
I was too damn nervous (must actually have missed a few keys, judging from how long it took me to cast my first few spells), was watching a DVD while camping, by the time I had pulled him to the ground (completely forgot all my planning 'instant cast, slow fall, then attack' and so on....) and closed the Power DVD I immediately started casting at him and (&!§"$"°§%§"%&!"&"$§!% "$§! tagging system, need 3.08 instant-tagging for f*cks sake) and wanted to get my Water Elemental, Mirror Images and so on out, to be on the safe side in case I got attacked.... well... I didn't get attacked, but some alliance shaman attacked TLPD AND TAGGED HIM!
Even though I had already shot a few ice lances at him... goddamn tagging-system.
Immediately tried to kill the guy but wasn't able to get him down.
He killed TLPD, I yelled "F*********CK!" in RL.... /congratulate-d him and left....
Wasn't thinking straight (didn't even think to use Counterspell to interrupt him, total blackout), got too nervous (still shaking now, minutes later), just a few minutes ago I nearly fell asleep from all the boredom, haven't seen Vyragosa in 3 days, TLPD never at all, didn't really think he'd show up so I wasn't prepared...... was just too much, damn, I blew that one.
location, again - at the lake at BB.
I'm done camping him. I just can't take it anymore.
Getting close to 4 weeks of camping him, only 1 kill prior to that one (not by me of course occured in the few days it took me to recover from my hacked account), bout 2 weeks ago. Nothing at all before today all this time, a few Vyragosas, sometimes went days without any sighting of any of them.
Then, finally, after all this time he spawns (or flies by, don't care) very close to me and I still lose him.
How much longer would I have to camp that guy to finally get him?
It's just a MASSIVE timesink and probably not worth it.
I've camped that guy anywhere from 6 hours/day to 24 hours/day and longer and what's to show? Lotta missed heroic instances and lots of lost time (yeah, yeah, aptly named....) and lots of anger by now.
If I ever fly by Storm Peaks and get him by accident, great, but I'm done wasting my time with that. Maybe in a few weeks/months someone will have figured out/leaked better information and I'll try again, but for now, it's over. F*ck you TLPD.

After about a week and a half of looking, finally got him. I tagged him via macro at the frozen lake below Valkyrion at around 1:30pm server time. This was actually the first time I waited instead of flying around.
I didn't think I was gonna have any luck but after an hour, there he was flying right toward me from the east and my macro alerted me with "THERE IT IS, KILL IT!". I flew into him and got aggro, landed as fast as I could and started doing damage. He went down easy. I almost didn't believe it when he died and it was my kill.
Good luck to all you, with some patience, maybe this sweet mount will be yours as well

Lucky, really.
After only a day of camping, I got this drake. I wasn't so sure I would get it because I couldn't find it, but one of my guildies who already had the drake was on his way to get the Storm Peak dailies, and he passed it, almost dead. However, another guildie and I went and chased after it, and found it recovered health and the one who attacked it dead. So we killed it and got the drake =)
--
From what I noticed it was hard to solo, since a single horde tried to and failed. But with a mage/holy paly it went very smoothly.
We killed him just west of Grom'arsh Crash Site, a place where he pats.
My strategy was to have someone else in your group, and just fly around with a macro that will send a tell when you target something.
/target time
/target vyragosa
/target dirkee
/stopmacro
/tell phoenixen ><%t><
I have the other rare elites in there too, but you don't need them.
In all honesty I don't know if it worked, but I DO know, that the whisper self tell works.
Good Luck Drake Hunters!

EDIT: Instead of opening another post, I answer here to "iweil" about the

Although quite obvious, the macro stops here if the found target is dead and the sound won't go off.
I wanted to have a different response to an alive and a dead target, with the sound-file shaking you awake (+wisper) and just the wisper on a dead mob, as I could then stop searching for it the next hours.

You know whats really cool? its when you go afk for a minute and then you come back and the time-lost proto drake is attacking you :PP I was looking for the drake for about 30 minutes and I am really bored with it. I dont know how the other guys managed to search for the drake for hours :S
I read
b0rg's
comment and I am going to break it down, based on the screen shots he was talking to a <GM> regarding the rare mob and based on the <GM> information,
Timer for that mob exceeds 8 hours
Spawns in three different locations
Doesn't last until killed
So yes the mobs
despawns
-.- Of course that is the main factor that its really hard to find that drake. So it takes really long time to spawn and really less time to despawn. If some 1 find it he must be very very lucky. As for me I am not going to search for it for hours. Yet I will look for it every day for only 30 minutes or 1 hour max. But if you spend like 6 hours doing nothing waiting for that mob to spawn even if you got it. Think of how much quests you would of done or anything else in those 6 hours.
I hope my piece of advice was useful and feel free to reply to my comment with both agreement or disagreement replies because I would like to know what you guys think. I will talk to a <GM> too about this proto drake maybe I might dig up more information. I know this might be 100% false information but the 3 different locations the <GM> mentioned in b0rg's screenshots might not be all in Storm Peaks it could be elsewhere. I will be checking my comment frequently to see your replies.
Thank you and good luck with the drake.

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. :)
(edit)
Point of amusement, I've never, ever seen Vyragosa. Ever.

I've talked to a GM today, he said they all share a spawn timer one out of the three randomly spawn; they don't despawn but they spawn in a certain location not randomly so that the good news. He also said if one of them is killed the next one will spawn in a couple of hours. I'm not sure how long is that but I believe it is still randomly 6hrs-8hrs. So pretty much you have to kill one of them to get the next one to spawn in couple of hours...
Hope this help you guys in your search, Good luck and happy hunting.

So. I saw Vyra dead today at 18.13, was killed straight after its spawn. I stayed there most of the day, atleast looking now and then, till about 05.30. I told myself to go to bed after a few more loops around the mountain, and then at 05.48 it spawned, at the same place it was killed. I know that it was not killed in the meantime, and had not spawned in the meantime, the 05.48 spawn, 11hrs and 35mins after its death, was the first Vyra spawn since 18.13. Dont know if this info is of any use, but that tells us that, it is NOT a 6hr respawn, NOT a 12hr respawn, and the theory about a percentage chance for it to respawn at the same minute it was killed every hour till it spawns again, is also false.
Good luck trying to find the pattern^^

I started yesterday the hunt for this drake. I login and do a little flying (between The Foot Steppes, Bor's Breath, Brunnhildar Village and Sifreldar Village) many times a day. Max. time I am gonna use is, between 30min-1h per day. One flyrun around the path (from start to finish) takes only couple of minutes, and I do those flyruns two times, when I login. That is my method, and I wont change it. I have seen that this drake will not come easily by farming and spending hours to find it. Also, not only is farming time consuming, it also makes you bored very fast and you might even consider that, "am I really gonna find this mob", "I really wonder if it even is working". Also, I have read that some people here suggests automacro or a program that does the job for you, using the game in it. I highly disagree with these kind of posts. Using that makes you have an advantage over other players, which will result to a ban. If you are stupid enough, you can try your luck, but ban is always the downway in this.
Now you probably want to hear have I seen anything. Yes, I have. I spotted (almost) in my first flyrun, dead Time-lost Proto Drake. After this founding, I was really excited to begin the hunt for this drake. That is (so far) the only rare I have seen. I dont expect to see Dirkee, since he is not in the path I take. I heard Vyragosa is pretty common sight, but I havent seen her, not even once.
And what I use? Only typical macro that I copied from here. The one where you will get raid warning and whisper so you really dont miss anything.
I hope I will come across with this drake, and therefore wish everyone luck finding it!

This scares me. A lot.
i was farming the Scarlet Ruby pattern off of the vykrul girls just northwest of Frosthold, i go in and kill the first mob and the pattern drops, lucky me. im happy. i mount up and fly a couple hundred yards in the air. i look on atlasloot to search for the next one nearby.
I hear a big ass roar and look up to find...yeah you guessed it. Big and Ugly attacking me as i sit there. i go down a couple of yards flame shock as i dismount, Spirit wolves to assist and kill her. i get the mount. This process took all of 3 minutes. i ran into her right above the front gate of Valkyrion around...10:10 pm tonight. December 29. not hard to kill at all. she came from the north.
I guess good advice would be just patience. I can't say anything else since this was a total fluke... Wait til all the lil kiddies are in bed for school and have at it. Good Luck.

After 6 days of sleeping 2-3 hours a day for 10 minutes at a time and killing Vyragosa many times during that while also mapping all her patrol routes i decided to go grab some food and i was so gutted to come back and see TLPD killed. I missed him by 20-30 minutes.
For anyone thinking of farming this guy like i was, you will seriously need to put 110% into it and barely go afk because if u slack for even a few minutes, theres a good chance someone else will get the kill :(
I am certain now that i know all the mobs patrol routes and optimal altitude to fly at. I'm working on some images to show my patrol route + TLPDs routes. Will post back when i have more.

I killed Vyr at 1:30 pm Burning blades. I found Dirkee then at 4:14 am. (+12 hour respawn)
Vyr was fighting the mobs around herself. (35.69) Dirkee was just walking around.
Post pics soon

Also for a tip: mount speed increases from trinkets do not work.
-if you get attack by a horde killing this proto. Try to get him to somehow attack the drake or get him on its aggro list incase you die the mob will still be tagged to you.
Update.
It has been 24 since Vyrs death and no re-spawns for the 2 drakes. Rolling restart happened 5 hours ago and no pops. Since then no proto drake has been looted. They are also known to pop up after a reset! disregard Haylow comment.

Remember to test your ability to attack things while flying. I couldn't, then remembered there's an option in Settings: Display -> Combat that has to be checked to allow this - Autodismount in flight.

Neither the TLPD or either rares "reset" their spawn on server restarts.
I stayed on for 4 hours after the restart today and flew around with my macro to no avail.
I think the spawn timer just keeps going through the restart.

Okay this is just something that I threw together as I was having to work thru Christmas, but... in theory my idea is this:
Since posts keep getting deleted here, and along with them the coordinates of confirmed deaths... I've created a page that will allow for the submissions of confirmed deaths of each creature (TLPD, Vyra and Dirkee.. who cares about Dirkee I know but oh well). If we record the points of death, then eventually it'll fill out the entire path.. again, in theory. :)
This is on some crap free server so bear with the slowness. I made it with 1027x768 resolution, and haven't tested it on widescreen or higher resolutions.. so other than that, I'm sure it looks like crap (stupid work computers) but should still function. I'll work on tuning it up, but in the meantime please be respective of the data you enter - hope this helps / works.
EDIT: the byethost URL was pointing toward what appeared to be spyware so I have removed it for the sake of everyone.
btw.. I haven't got a legend up yet so:
Yellow Dots = TLPD
Blue Dots = Vyragosa
Orange Dots = Dirkee
Thanks,

I do not agree with several of the postings here. Today After server reset (rolling restarts) Vyra and Time lost was both up and kicking.
Vyra was killed at 10am server, Time-lost at 10:41. I was logged on before the restart and had kept my eye out. After the server restarted, I had gone to bed. During which I logged on later to have confirmation of both kills. Apparently they both spawned minutes after eachother.
Time-lost was killed on Uldar grounds, which tells me he spawned up in the area above the Blue Drakes and flew down towards Uldar. Vyra was killed just before she hit the canyon coming from the drake area.
I think maybe blizzard has taken them off the same cooldown or something, but coming here and seeing people say they share spawns..then to see this is confusing.

So I had been camping this drake since I hit 80 on December 4th. At least three hours a day, every day I could spare (pretty much everything except when I had an exam).
My patrol route was fairly simple, start at Valkyrion, go north and around that giant construct, then fly parallel to the Terrace of the Makers, between it and the crash site, over to Brunnhildar Village, then back through the blue drakes over into Bor's Breath going southwest, to the edge of the Fall, then back west to Valkyrion again.
I picked it up with my macro just at the transition into Bor's Breath, around 10:30pm EST (9:30 server). the TLPD was heading south over the Falls into the the valley with K3. As is expected, I started shaking, heh. I followed it until I could close into Icy Touch range (being a Deathknight). Unfortunately, I took the Snowfall Lager off my hotbars and died from hitting the ground before I could find it in my bags.
I really think that if Storm Peaks didn't have the ghost gryphon while dead I'd have never found it again. I flew back to my body, which was directly at the edge of the blue ice at the base of the falls and proceeded to fly southeast into the vale spamming my macro. I picked it up again near K3, and this time I flew through it to aggro and dragged it to the nearby cliff, which at the height it flies (significantly higher than the lethal 66 yards distance) was much closer than the ground - I couldn't risk dying again.
TL;DR: Attached is the map of this little diatribe:

Northernmost dot is my location at target lock, close dots nearby are initial tracking, second set is second tracking after I rezed and the last dot in the southeast is where I killed it. To all of those still hunting: Never surrender, with glory we fall!

After catching Loque'nahak (hunter) i decided to look for Time-lost. After a few hours of searching my screen goes crazy, with the raid warning and all. But it was just Vyra. So after seeing the youtube movie of where Vyra patrols, i wondered if Vyra and Time-lost have the same route?

For those that have this mount, can you confirm whether or not /mountspecial does anything? For me, the drake merely jerks, as if the animation was never completed. I don't have any of the other drake mounts, but for TLPD, or at least mine, /mountspecial animation does nothing.

well I was heading south from Engine of the makers to Brunnhildar Vilage, and my macro hit gold. I look at the top left corner of my screen and BAM i see "Time-lost proto drake". I smash my keyboard spamming avenger's shield and bubbling like the sexy paladin I am to prevent any damage falling. The drake follows me, thinking I'm a softie but HOLD UP - EHHHH... (shout out to big snoopy D O double G and Doctor Dre man) I literally flex my buttocks in a rhythmic manner, making grunt noises, teaching him who his daddy is. The mount drops and I immediately tell the world of my great accomplishment.
Well, heres the screenshot.

Dropped for me 8:03 AM on Dec. 29 so 2 days ago on Nordrassil(EU)...
I used a simple "/target time" macro, was doing Brunhilldar dailies and everytime I fly over engine of the makers I use the macro and that time got lucky :)
The kill: I'm Human demolock lvl80 and I used Death Coil on the mob (mounted on my Gryphon), used Snowfall Lager from the Frosthold to prevent fall dmg, I fell right on the edge of Engine of the Makers , was lucky not to drop in the hole though :P the Proto-Drake came down I had VW out at the time send him to get aggro, put dots on Drake used couple of Incinerates and healed VW a little with Health Funnel. Very easy kill and I only had quest blues from Icecrown and Storm Peaks and I think a few from Zul'Drak.
Pretty annoying when got to Dalaran though... I think I've explained how I got it like 20 times when people /w me about it and I'm too damn nice to answer all of them >.<
Not sure where I can find out how many there are on Nordrassil in total, but I've personally seen only 4 or 5 (including my own), so many out in the SP camping for it now though... Few weeks/months and won't be so unique anymore I think. I'm just happy to get something to replace my Swift Gryphon :P
On a side note: When I used Death Coil 5sec after that while falling I saw a lvl80 Tauren Warrior flying on a Nether Drake right behind me :P Judging by how he was spamming something in I think he must have been actually camping for it for longer than me and was pretty #$%^ed for a small Alliance guy coming and getting it right under his nose ;)
EDIT: I forgot to mention that I killed Vyragosa 9 hours later, was grouped up with a pally since I was showing him where I saw the Drake, while explaining some details he shouted "There's Vyragosa!" So we went in and got the kill for the achievement

Vyragosa and Dirkee DOES NOT share the same spawn timer.
Thats for sure, killed them both under less than 20 min.
Anyone knows the spawn chance for the time-lost proto-drake? Seems like it's much bigger than Vyragosa's

Ok, im not sure about you guys, but i dont think that the mount will drop of Dirkee or Vyragosa, ive kill Vyragosa like 5 times now, and i got curious about the drops, so i checked WoWhead on her, and only the usualy hat and bag, no drake, can anyone confirm or deny this information?

Hi all. This is my first post here.
I red almost all your (5+ rating) comments and now I'd like to add my hunting experience.
I started hunting TLPD on 23rd of December. I had no macro and didn't know well about it. I just hoped to see him. I just hoped to have some luck. Anyway. (Europe Time - Paris)
The first 2 days I didn't see neither it nor Vyragosa nor Dirkee. Of course I didn't have much information about it.
The third day, at 00.24AM, the famous macro spotted Vyragosa at 41.61. unluckly there was a paladin who killed her. But I didn't care about it. The important thing for me was to know the time and the spot spawn.
6 hours later (the forth day) I went to the same spot and spammed the macro. At 4.22 PM I spotted Vyragosa at 29.65 in Bor's Breath. This time I killed her and I looted
www.wowhead.com/?item=44732#dropped-by
of the Marksman and
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=44663
(Frostweave Clothx20, +20g).
The fifth day I spotted her dead corpse. At 2.40PM in Valkyrion at 26.56.
The sixth day I asked in "1.General" and a guy said that he saw her in Snowdrift Plains at 29.49, 5.29PM.
The seventh day I spotted her Over Brunnhildar Village flying in the direction of Engine. I killed her and she dropped the same items again.
I didn't find neither TLPD nor Dirkee during my hunting. But I can tell you now the exact spawn point of Vyragosa.
All the times she was flying in "clock wise" starting from Brunnhildar Village, going in the drake's field, Engine, Bor's Breath, Valkyrion, Snowdrift Plains. All the times I saw her she was going this direction.
Someone on "1.General" said to have spotted her at Brunnhildar Village.
So now I'm thinking that her exact spawn point is the mountain over Brunnhildar Village, at 52.73, in the nest.
In my opinion there's just 1 spawn spot of Vyragosa, (don't know TLPD yet) and the times are every 6+ hours starting from the killing time.
EDIT n.1 for voshikid: The mount drops off TLPD. Dirkee and Vyragosa drops blue items + a bag with money, frostweave cloth and sometimes "WOTLK motes".
EDIT n.2: I saw TLPD's dead corpse on 6th January at 00.15AM at 28.50. Vyragosa's dead corpse at Bor's Beath Fall (2.20PM) and Vyragosa alive over Brunnhildar Village (8.34PM) again.
EDIT n.3: I "stopped" camping TLPD since wednesday (14th January). I used from then the macro that tells you if someone has looted the mount. Well no mount loot from wednesday 14th january to saturday 17th january. On saturday after two heroics I went off at 7PM and came back at 11PM. Checked the macro and it said that the mount has been looted by someone. I checked tha area and I saw the dead corpse at engine.
I hope this helped a bit.
I'll edit this as soon as possible, when I get more information.
Sorry for my bad english.
Happy New Year to all :).

Finally after no spawns(looting of it anyway) for a week on my server I managed to down it! I've mainly been camping Engine of Makers but I decided to take a little fly around knowing the only people after it today were me and a mage already on a red proto (sigh). I found it North of Valkyrion in the path leading to snowdrift flying south towards valkyrion - never had so much trouble killing a mob because of me shaking too much! XD.
My server shows no real consistency in spawn times or days of this thing yet which makes me believe it really is truely random. Been camping/researching on and off for the best part of a month thanks to a gamepad's help and WIM.
In my month of spawning I have seen Dirkee twice, vyra about six times (3 of which I killed her) and TLPD for the first time today.

Theres more than 1 spawn point for sure. She has many routes - i've followed her. It simply wouldnt make sense for her to spawn there and move to the various other routes.

Ok if anyone reads this i have CONFIRMATION that Vyragosa and Time-Lost Proto Drake are definitely not on a 6 hour + timer it's completely random and unpredictable like a few said.
At 9:22PM December 30th Vyragosa i killed her looted her body and that was that.
To my much displeasure i followed what the people on this sight said about him spawning every 6 hours - 2 days YOUR WRONG. I logged off for my 6 hours of sleep i happened to wake up at 1:30 i logged on and there he was dead....with an alliance sitting at my face mocking me. I've never been such a unsatisfied mix of anger and depression.
Took me about 8 hours to get over it and i'm gonna push on and get this freaking mount if it's the last thing i do. This isn't about just earning it anymore it's about my pride being stepped on twice by the alliance!

So I've found Vyra three times now, the first time I was taking the flight path from Frosthold to Dalaran. There was a pally killing it just west of Frosthold. Then a couple of days ago I saw her dead just north of Valkyrion. Then just now I got her at the end of the path connected to the frozen river, Bor's Breath (27,69). This leads me to believe that vyra spawns somewhere in Bor's breath and always flies clockwise. I suspect this because there are always at least 3 people looking for TLPD on my server, and they probably wouldn't let vyra get far without dying, lol.
Anyways, at least I finally got something after nearly 2 weeks of looking for this drake. Now to get TLPD!

So, after roughly 40 hours of farming I found mine 3 hours after the new year!
This thread has been so helpful in my search.
I saw Vyragosa get killed tonight at around 9 25 PM. My time lost kill was exactly at 3 30 am, right above Brunnhildar. 5 hours.
Not sure which theory 5 hours will fall into but hopefully it helps firm up how this mob works!
Good luck everyone! Don't give up. I was about to go to bed and said "Uhg, one more run around the zone" and I found it. It's possible!

This will be a long post but i have been looking for this mob for a while and finally got him today - hopefully it will clarify a lot of things. I will also add a log of all kill times ive seen for Vyragosa + time-lost, i missed a few while sleeping or breifly AFK+skinned though.
I have observed many things in the zone. Its very competitive since people are camping it and he spawns on routes common to miners and herbalists as well as being right next to the alliance base.
I've been logging all the spawns i can find from my server and camping them out to see if theres any connection between the spawn times and unfortunately it doesnt seem like there is (more on this later). I have also followed Vyargosa and observed her routes.
Here are the routes i've seen Vyragosa take:
http://img68.imageshack.us/img68/7095/91328797wt3.jpg
http://img68.imageshack.us/img68/4653/74374098es8.jpg

http://img230.imageshack.us/img230/1581/27407665ip5.jpg
Be prepared to take these mobs while they are flying in the air at high altitudes. Grab some snowfall lager. I (rogue) used killing spree and evasion+unfair advantage vs them can do about 15k or so to an air target then DPS the rest off them with my thrown. I am also wearing stamina/frost resist gear to improve my length of DPS-combat with the elites to ensure i can use as much thrown as possible due to our range being so weak.
My patrol route(s):
I originally used this route:
http://img230.imageshack.us/img230/5596/patrolroutejo3.jpg
It was too slow though by about 3-4 minutes so i made some changes after seeing time-lost killed minutes before i got there twice.
The day i killed him, i used:
http://img230.imageshack.us/img230/1239/revisedpatrolrouteep5.jpg
I would recommend the second route because if you pay attention to the suspected spawn locations in my Vyragosa patrol routes you'll be able to get to them all very quickly and wont need to scout further..
My theory on the spawn timers:
- Every 5 minutes there is a chance that Vyragosa or Time-lost will spawn. By this, what i mean is - there is maybe a 1 in 600 chance that either of them will spawn and in this chance there is maybe 4% that its Time-lost and 96% Vyragosa.
- Vyragosa will spawn a much much higher % of the time than timelost - judging by the Mysterious egg chance of dropping a drake, i would guess this is about as rare if not more - so maybe 4% chance or less of spawning on the same route as Vyragosa.
Vyragosa Cold Hard Facts:
- There are a number of routes she can spawn/travel in.
- After catching her twice in a row and timing the times between spawns, i can confirm that on the third pass of all routes she had not spawned and neither had any other rare-elites. This means, she doesnt have a 'set' respawn timer exactly.
- People very very quickly skin the rare-elites after they die. You have to be very quick after a kill to spot a corpse. Afaik time lost is skinnable, Vyragosa certainly is - i have seen it.
- Melee will have trouble killing Vyragosa especially if they cant LoS pull (line of sight) behind something.. I used frost resist and had much more survivability vs Vyragosa's spit (as melee).
- I have seen Vyragosa spawn 9 hours 30 minutes apart then not spawn 9 hours 30 minutes after that kill or for that entire day (yes, i camped all day).
Myths busted:
- Other mobs do NOT attack Vyargos and certainly do not attack Time-lost. People are confused about this because of the mobs in bors breath that fight each other but they do NOT fight any other mobs than the ones they are scripted to. I have witnessed this.
Speculation:
- I have never seen Vyragosa or time lost at terrace of the makers but i have seen quite a few posts claiming they killed TLPD there. Due to this, i have factored it into my patrol cycle.
- The GM pictures posted on wowhead are probably all fake. GMs as a policy do NOT give out this information. The chat style is also extremely casual and unlike a GM. The players in the conversations are almost having their questions and answers spoon fed to them - unlikely a style of a genuine TLPD conversation. I also tried asking about it and was denied 4 or 5 times.
My target Macro:
/cleartarget
/tar Time
/tar Dirkee
/tar Vyra
/stopmacro
/tell YourCharacterNameHere > %t <
/run RaidNotice_AddMessage(RaidBossEmoteFrame, "RARE SPAWN! WAKE UP!", ChatTypeInfo)
/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\interface\\RaidWarning.wav")
Macro to check if time-lost dropped this reset:
/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");
/tell YourCharacterNameHere link me the item, if you can link it, its dropped.
For this macro, you need to msg yourself the item link and if you can only see text, it means it has not dropped since the weekly maintenance.
Combat/interraction with Time-lost Proto drake:
Being melee i was very worried i wouldnt be able to kill him due to the high altitude he flies at. This is not an issue. He seems to want to get into melee range and has one ability he cast before i killed him:
Time Lapse
30yd range
Instant
Stuns an enemy for 2 sec, inflicting 569 to 731 Nature damage and clearing threat.
When he casts this, it also looks a lot like blink so i can see why people would think that he blinked in combat. He instantly dismounted me (unlike other storm peaks proto drakes) but i had snowfall lager and survived the fall. He was happy to get into Melee range and hit for 300-400 on leather. Easy kill as a rogue.
Something else i noticed about this mob is that the /tar macro actually has an incredibly long range for him. You can target him when he is very far out of your normal /tar range.

These 4 routes have been clearly known for 3 weeks already. It is also known that the spawnratio for TLPD vs Vyra is between like 1:10 and 1:15 though the spawnchance of this rare-combo is pretty low itself (like 10% every 30 minutes after it got killed)
You really should not bother to find TLPD before u have killed Vyra like 10 times and camped for a full week of /played. This would be a common average out of the 3000 comments I came aware of on the internet.
Afterall there are many statements of Gamemasters that Dirkee and Vyragosa are connected to each other like every other northrend rare mobs for each zone are. The fact that Dirkee is despawning 3min after his death doesn´t really help in figuring things out. Remember that they not necessarily need to have the same respawntimer when being in the same spawntable, there might be subrequirements or the mob getting rolled out and waited for his timer to spawn.

Infact I am hunting for Dirkee too and know his 6 spawnpoints/routes so half of my rare kills in Northrend have been Dirkee already making it 13Vyra/6Dirkee Kills + many sightings and 1 TLPD corpse I saw myself.

To "correct" myself the guess for the spawnratio os more like 1:3:6 or 1:4:10 TLPD:Dirkee:Vyragosa

Will it spawn right after server maintainence? Like if I log out at a spot I want to camp, and log in as soon as the server is back up, will he be there? Or does his timer start as soon as the server is back up?

Read most comments, didn't care to read all 400.
Day one of search: Vryagosa spotted, using macro posted on Page 1, at roughly 30.2, 67.9. Followed until found a safe area to tagg and kill. Path followed went North into Valkyrion and then went NE into the small space in-between mountains. Killed roughly 27.3, 57.2. Killed 3:20 server. Spotted maybe 3-5 minutes beforehand. Date 1/2. Will edit if in 8 hours time if TLPD Is spotted.

I was using the macro Chew said, but changed it to whisper "RARE SPAWN SPOTTED" instead.It made me jump because I thought I'd targeted the TLPD. However, it was Vyragosa at 30, 67 way high up in the air, near the giant dwarf.
I sadly did not have any slowfall abilities due to the fact my toon's a rogue, and was on the way to turn in the quest to get Snowfall Lager and didn't score the kill, but it was flying west from there.

I'm pretty sure the TLPD, Dirkee and Vyragosa do not share spawn timers. Or, atleast...within 8+.
I had seen Vyragosa flying around 30.2, 36.3. But only to realize that if I attacked I surely would of died. I was heading to turn in the quest to be able to purchase Snowfall Lager...as a rogue I have no slowfall options. So, when I flew back to those coordinates, Vyragosa was gone, nowhere to be found. However, I was taking a route that flew south from Bor's Breath into the Engine of the Makers then continued north. With help from a friend I killed Dirkee, at around 41, 40 around 35 minutes or so later.
Kinda sucked that my macro struck gold twice...just not the kind I wanted. I'm still sitting here camping it, hoping the third time is the charm.

TLPD spawned 7 hours 40 minutes after I killed Vyr.
Prior to that, I was killing Vyr every day around noon on a 24 hour rotation
.
It was always give or take 10-15 minutes.
I did this 6 days in a row. One day Vyr would spawn at noon, next day 12:10, day after that 11:55 and so on. Now I can not say if he was spawning in other locations and getting killed or not, as I was camping the small waterfall next to the lake in Bor's Breath only. I occaisionally roamed, but never saw any spawns anyplace else other than Dirkee west of the machine. this morning his spawn was off from *my* percieved normal rotation, and Vyr spawned at 2:30am, with TLPD 7 hours 40 mins after that.

Okay Heres my go at it ...First the Facts.
Location Spawned: Valkyrion some where around the north tower.
Location Killed: Valkyrion 27, 64 about 100 yards from where he poped and i aggroed him.
Time spawned: 7:12 A.M.
I was level 77 and it died easy.
Spawn height: Maybe 20 yards above the Towers.
My Story....
After Hitting 77 around midnight or 1am I flew to storm peaks to start the hunt. In the 6 hours of flying around I read all the info on locations and times. I decided to camp Boars Breath mainly occasionally flying to The Engine Area and back. And occasionally flying all the routes repeatadily.
Once again this all began around 1am EST on shandris server.
I was getting very tired but it was so close to the 6 hour mark that i didnt dare log without finding anything in the last 5 hours.
After flying and flying and flying. I was hovering in the middle of the frozen Lake infront of Valkyrion watching TV to stay awake and spamming my macro.
WHEN BAM. 7:12am struck gold Looked at the screen it was hovering above Valkyrion near the towers, tunred to start flying and I Flew in aggroed pulled him out and downed it at 7:15am. @ 27, 64
Now this only confirms to me that theres a minimum of 6 hours, but who knows. And that Valkyrion is a definate Spawn point. If I would of been watching i would of saw it spawn. The frozen lake is by far a good place to camp. But I suggest getting the paths down and flying them after a while u can do it quickly. With a epic flyer u will out fly these dragons easy. not that i had to.
Okay now the Money shot All info can be confirmed in my screen cap.

Ok, one more proof of my theory. We have all evidencies to say now that spawn point of Vyragosa's Temple of Storms path is 31, 69.
But I still have doubts about if Vyra and TLPD share pathes.

I don't know if anyone has suggested this yet but a good thing to do if you're camping one spot is to go into windowed mode with WoW, do something else, and every once in a while (or often) go back into WoW and hit the target macro a few times then go back to whatever else you were doing.

I killed Time-Lost Proto Drake 05.23AM on EU Ravenholdt.
I spotted the mob flying pretty low down in Bor's Breath towards the icy lake and turning down towards Frost Hold , Attacked it when it was down in Bor's Breath and died from fall dmg , since Levitate ( priest slow fall spell ) dismiss when taking dmg. Luckly for me the graveyard was about 50yards away from where i died, ressed and kill it when it was about to fly down towards Frost Hold.
Screen:
http://imageshack.dk//viewimage.php?file=/imagesfree/sbZ49194.jpg
Secondly , me and another hunter camped pretty much all known spots for around 23 hours. NOTHING spawns... imo the 6-12 hours spawn time people are talking about is BS. After my experience, i would say the spawn time is random.
My guess would be, it can spawn anytime within 24hours.

... just woke up now, figured "ah, gonna lie in bed a few more minutes".
When I got up just a few minutes later I thought "damn it would suck if TLPD had just been killed.... nah, not gonna happen. Camped him for 12+ hours yesterday, after the Vyra kill every hour mark and 10 minutes before and after that each time and he didn't spawn.".
Well... it did. I log in, and just 5secs from my camp spot his body is still there...
BB again for anyone interested, last Vyra spawn I know was yesterday 1.40 pm, this TLPD was lying here at 10.10am.
Last Vyra kill before that was at 1.10pm the day before. So I guess each time Vyra spawned somewhere else in between where I didn't witness the spawn, at least once. I guess that the respawn timer starts with the kill/death.
I wanna give up on that bastard, I really do and I will for a bit, but I know in a few days I'll be back camping him.... damn. But probably not this week, guess there's next to no chance of him spawning again till some time after maintenance and once you can't check via the script if he's been killed already because the item's already in the cache from a previous kill, camping him gets even more annoying.
You really gotta camp him 24/7 because the SECOND you decide "whatever I do in RL only takes one more minute" he'll spawn and get himself killed by somebody probably camping him for a total of 5 hours...

I have seen a few posts saying that Vyragosa and the time lost fly in a clockwise rotation. So which would be a better route to fly, one going counter-clockwise or clockwise?
If flying clockwise, even if on fast mount, you woud be chasing them, therfore not catching them as fast.
If counterclockwise, you are bound to run into them eventually seeing as you will be flying toward each other.
Of course the difference will depend on where they are in their routes when you begin flying.

Pick your poison, mate.
Fly at them and you risk losing an entire lap if they spawn right after you pass. Heading in opposite direction will quickly put distance between you and will affect your macro's targeting range.
Fly with them and you play catch up. The macro target range will work longer but you are still losing a lap if they spawn behind you just out of target range.
I would choose flying at them.
Either way doesn't matter much as they don't fly very fast.
So the Mal'Ganis server goes down sometime between 10:30 PM and 11:45 PM.
I am kicked off and have to re-log. When I get back, the cache macro now pulls data.
Heartbreaking when you're camping and patrolling for hours and hours and days and days.
Gratz to the Ally/Hordie who won it. I'm sure you deserve it as much as the rest of us.

@ Howa, do you happen to remember the time he spawned or the time you were herbing? Not sure it would help, but could. What server are you on? Also, how high up was he? I'm thinking of camping that spot but I dont wanna be too low or high :)
Lastly, can someone explain to me how this link works?

Im not sure I understand how pasting that into a chat box in wow will tell you if anyone has gotten it. Thanks!

Because the mount item can only exist if someone has looted it that week. Every time the server resets, it resets its item cache, and in so doing, only items that have been seen by the server will be linkable (everything else will get stuck at retrieving info). Since the player uses the mount item to learn the mount, only people who have caught it this week (or someone who hasn't used the item yet) will be able to make the server 'validate' that link.
评论来自
Zohra
So if I paste that link into wow and am able to click on the link and get the usual info about it ("summons such and such mount") Then that means someone has looted it on the server? What does it say exactly if someone hasn't? Thanks for the info, I know it seems like Im out of it, Ive just never seen that before. :)

I honestly think some people lie about this mount. "Just came back from alt tabbing and there he was!" If they are not lieing they have EXTREMELY good luck. To me I think the spawn of this drake is random and it can spawn anywhere from 6 hours to 3 days. I camped this for 48 hours straight of non stop playing and didnt see it. I saw vyragosa though killed her at 6 50 server time. She just dropped bad leather helm and 25 gold. After her kill i waited for about 28 more hours before i gave up looking for this mount. I want this stupid mount but i gave up i will eventually probably try again. Everyone i talk to that has this mount found it by pure dumb luck. I sure wish i was lucky

I've tried to find this rare elite - no luck as of yet.
I first saw this mount when I was doing dailies & a gnome rogue was mounted on The Drake, I looked it up on Wowhead & was very surprised to see that it was a 100% drop rate off a rare mob.
Rare mob being the operative word - I've tried looking for it for the past few days. The night I found out about it I was in luck with Vyragosa - within minutes of me looking I saw her flying just in my direction, tagged & killed her. I then, again, went back to that same place the next night at that time & had no luck in seeing any of them.
I'm still looking but I think it is more along the lines of there's a chance of The Time-Lost Proto Drake spawning *instead* of Vyragosa. I asked *two* GM's & both said they were unable to give out any info on this mob. I'm totally puzzled on the spawn times & wouldn't have a clue on where to start as there are so many different times that people have said. Although the 6hr & 24hr time has come up a few times I think it's more just about luck.
I shall post my findings if I find anything else out - Good luck all!

Mhmm, instead of screenshooting this mob and posting coords, wouldnt it be more effective to download the wowhead-data gahtering addon and upload the data with this tool?
i think wowhead should be able to plot a map with it.

Timelost Protodrake and its location is still unknown to this database although many of you have already killed him...

Omg this week i really have proto luck lol
Last friday I opened my cracked egg and it contained a green proto which is the most beautiful of them all if you tell me :D
Monday evening the reins of the blue proto dropped in hc UP, it went to the tank in our party but I didn't really care cause allready had the green one
Today after coming home from work at 5pm I logged and flew to storm peaks for dailies
I entered Storm Peaks and after 10 seconds my macro targeted Time-lost Proto drake, he was right under me north west Frosthold in the valley with the lake
He came from boar's breath, went to the lake (coords 29/65), then a bit north west of frosthold (coords 25/71) , there he turned back to the lake and flew north over Valkyrion into the snowdrift plains where I finally killed him (coords 33/44) at 5.10 pm
I also think he flies a bit faster then Vyragosa
I met another proud owner of this drake in Dalaran FP same evening, I asked him when he killed it and he said "yesterday after 11pm" which means 2 proto drakes in less then 18 hours

Just killed Vyragosa @ EU Hellscream. Spotted her over Valkyrion's south gate around 13:07 server time.
Considering i've been doing the same path from Valkyrion to the blue drake area near Engine of the Makers, all morning since servers came up, back and forth, she **may** have spawned there.
Anyway, i was so excited to see her that i only remembered to take pics of her dead body.
She was flying really high and i died the first time i tried to pull her.
Also note that, i saw here nearly 6 hours after servers came up (this weeks maintenance was from 05 am to 07 am).

Tabbed back into the game and my macro hit the corpse of the drake, and it was right under where i was flying, i had background sounds on and didn't hear any of it so it wasn't attacking me.
not sure if it helps anyone but it was killed at 4:44 pm on firetree.

The Story of My Time-Lost Proto-Drake
I had been farming this drake for 4 days. Then I woke up early one morning and I decieded to get some more information about the TLPD. So I flew to this place where the most of the peapole here said it would spawn. Just outside Valkyrion close to that cave. Then I stod on that spot for 9 hours and just spammed that macro. Then the clock was around 17:00 server time. Then I thought like " Omg why am I doing this. This is insane" Then Sudenly my macro hits gold!:D I had target on the TLPD! Then I flew too her/him as fastes as I could. I saw another paladin come just behinde me and I didnt know what to do. I thought " I cant miss him/her now when I finaly found it" So I holy shocked it and boubled and I did get the first hit so the loot was mine:D And he helped me kill it and then I looted my mount and I was more happy then ever:D And that was the first time I ever targeted it. I had been there for like 4-5 days looking for it and I spend around 4-7 hours a day to find it. And I killed Dirkee once and I did get target on Vyra once bet she was alrady dead.
And I was herbing the most of the time when I farmed it so I earned around 4k gold. So If you dont find it, its not that much of a waste because you earn a lot of money if you are a miner or a herbalist.
So GL everyone whos farming it and dont stop looking because its there somewhere and you might are the lucky one finding it:D

It's an obvious typo.
The same site, even though it is the official Blizzard site, says the black/plagued/violet drakes fly at 280% and not 310%, and require level 70.

Well, just killed TPLD :D
13:18 server time almost exactly 24 hours after i killed Vyragosa.
He was flying from Brunhildar to the blue drake area and my heart almost jumped out from my mouth ^^
Good luck to all of you that are still after him. My advice: don't give up ^^

i dont know if this will help anyone but Vyra was killed today on Firetree at 10:19am server time
she was flying threw Valkyron. This is 19 or 20 hours after the TLPD was killed the day before (not 100% sure on exact timing due to the drake being killed around 3:44pm yesterday)
Like i said not sure if this helps anyone but i'll post it in case it dose.

I honestly think this drake can spawn at 52,70 if he can spawn there and pats over the village and starts his way toward the blue drakes...and he can also fly down to the southern path of Bors breath and after he pats off the mountain with the nests. He can start on his choosen Pat Path and continue, all of them are accessible from that mountain. Also vyra is always seen patting over Brunhhildar or around bors breath in that direction try camping there for awhile if your up for someplace new, thats what i'm going to try.
A previous post that isn't green lead me to think this, go back a page or two and loot at it for yourself ^^
*edit* Evandar's post ^
Downrating me for a good idea, you people are mean. go to the mountain for yourself

i wasn't using a spawn timer. i was just stating that i was offline when he spawned on me. seeing as people mentioned they saw the corpse a few hours previously, but fine, i edited out the the 10 am idea.... i was just saying it was a "good idea" which was stated in Yacin's post. oh look my previous post was totally destroyed. without being proven. Yay for ignorant people not open to new ideas.

This has been the most frustrating thing I've ever done in WoW, hands down.
I've been camping the most common routes of the TLPD for 5 days now, varying between patrol routes and just flying still and tapping the macro at the Bor's Breath frozen lake.
I have never even seen the corpse... and I've found Vyragosa 16 times now.
After the server reset on Tuesday, I used the link macro to see if it had been looted, and the link which was copied just copied into words (not a link) so I knew it hadn't been looted.
Today (Thursday) I was sitting in Bor's Breath tapping my macro, when I decided to check the server cache again... Apparently someone looted it in less than 6 hours after the last Vyragosa spawn.
I thought that they shared spawns, which lead me to believe that after finding Vyra this morning at 10:50am I would have at least 6 hours to STOP camping and take a break.
I guess that's not the case...
I'm so depressed now, after 5 days of camping and not even seeing a corpse... I might give up after tonight. 72 hours of straight camping is just too much to ask.
=(

I have a question
Are any other dragon ellites that flight on Storm peaks?
This morning I was doing a regular daily quest and I was fling really high when a blue dragon having around 605k life flight next to me. He was patrolling the area and must be in a fight with something because he had 50% life. Also I don’t think his a rare dragon but the speed of this dragon got my attention.

Macro to check if time-lost dropped this reset:
/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");
/tell YourCharacterNameHere link me the item, if you can link it, its dropped.
I have used this macro and it works fine, but only for the first drop after the server reset.
Then I have tried to delete the cache file many times , but the link still worked fine.
So, does this macro work only for the first drop after the server reset?
Edit: please you con downrate this post but at least answer me

Ive already given up awhile ago
However doing dailies in storm peaks today I came across his corpse and as I got up close to look at it, it despawned which means it had already been sitting there for awhile which means I missed it by a good margin. so theres no case of "omg I JUST missed it".
well at least I know he's actually real now.
I found him dead at 36,78 on the HUGE frozen waterfall coming out of bors breath.
at 3:36am EST (12:36 am server time)

Here's something I figured might be worthwhile. Theres tons of info on pat routes and how high it flys, but one thing I was always curious about was how far away you could SEE it from. Kinda like how you can see Vyragosa from a long way away, but Dirkee, not so much. So today when I found it dead (I missed it by about 5 minutes btw - stopped doing my laps for 10 minutes to make a sandwich, and on the first lap I found it dead /sadface ), I tested how far away I could get before it would disappear. Sorry for the automatically resized screenie, but Im sure you get the idea...

Hopefully there were some other curious people out there like myself...as you can see, it appears it has the same view distance as Vyragosa - quite far.

Time Lost Proto Drake who are spawning in The Storm Peaks can be found any where in Storm Peaks, and are spawning at pany place'es. The drake are dropping a neck,a bag whit 19g and the Time Lost Proto drake. From Wow's data base it is write that the mount,neck and the bag have 33% drop change! This will say that it dont have 100% drop change as wowhead says, this information can be found here:

I have been farming this drake for 260 hours on rexxar us. The times I had missed him are:
The first time I spotted his corpse was a long time ago and I can't remember
Second spawned during Christmas eve dinner which was at 8:00 server
The third one spawned at Christmas dinner at 8:20
The fourth on spawned 10 yards out of my macro detection range. 3:30
The fifth one... this is where it hurt. I thought "what are the chances" when I went to go get a 4 minute snack before logging on. Once I'm done I log on to find someone attacking the drake just a few feet under where I was camping XD This happened at 6:20
The final spawn was at 6:55 server. I was just saying that I haven't had any luck to general chat and the checked back to my macro and the TLPD had spawned... and was alive! Quickly I looked in all directions to see where it was and the last direction I looked showed that the drake was right under me and coming from the falls(I was at the lake)!
The funny thing is that a hardcore horde camper was right beside me and I am so glad he was alt tabbed out. Submitted a sceenshot and already have 4 tells from people saying my mount is awesome looking.
The last kill I got was 2 days 35 minutes after the last reported kill... and I had stayed up for nearly 40 hours those days so there was absolutely nothing that spawned between the drakes. I was talking in guild chat about how the drake was gonna spawn soon and I knew it. Just a while after I had it in my hands.
The macro that sets off a raid warning and the map that shows where the 2 drakes pat were extremely helpful. I recommend them to any other drake hunters. I thank the people here for posting them.
I have some theories about the TLPD:
he does share a spawn with vyragosa.
he has a chance to spawn every 15 minutes after the kill(not really true but its a good way to explain the spawn times as they are really random).
If he doesn't spawn for 2 days he will spawn close to the 2 day mark as 2 days in the time limit.
6 hours in the minimum spawn time.
he flies pretty high but at different heights for all routes.
And about the auto clicker:
It worked great, I didn't get the drake while using it but it really helped boost my confidence because I knew that it didn't spawn during the night. I just had my laptop next to my bed and put my headphones on. If either vyra or tlpd appeared it would make an ear shattering alarm go off and wake me up. I used it for around 50 hours (not included in my 260 hour camping time) and didn't get banned or even contacted. The auto clicker I used was from the guy who said it was from runescape. (that post is hidden)
The thing I am also really happy about is that I made 10k gold from herbing in SP and I still have half a bank tab full of lichbloom and I have 60 eternal lives(which will double in price at 3.08). I think that this will sell for enough to net me roughly 6k gold. After that I will buy my travelers mammoth.
The best thing about getting the drake is now I'm FREEEEEEE. Camping that !@#$% was like a curse = /. Sort of reminds me of that south park episode where someone says " now what?" and Cartman says " Now we play the game".

When you use the macro and link it, the link will appear if the item has existed in the game. The server reset will reset all these options therefore it will no longer appear.
But that only works if the item is no longer in the game (assuming the person who looted has used the item putting it into their mount collection, which will remove the item from their inventory).
it has nothing to do with deleting your cache. I dont delete my cache and it always works.
Likely the reason it didn't work for you is because somebody looted it and did not use it leaving the item still in-game.
On another note, I have seen Time-Lost dead twice, and living once (someone tagged a second before me) at 36,68 in bor's breath
EDIT: killed vyra at same place.. /sigh have to wait atleast another 6 hours for spawn

Well, i can tell you all that today i'm pretty surprised..
This morning at 8.06 am approx i managed to do Dirkee near tauren's village.. it was a lil tough cuz i'm a holy priest and he hits hard, anyway using my lil' pet and mending it wasn't so difficult.
After that i continued my routine search of TLPD, and i flew into vyragosa, just spawned over Valkyrion at approx 30-40 yrd of height, 8.36 am. Killed her at 8.37 am, corspe despawned like 30 mins after.
Sad i decided to give up searching for TLPD, everyone says he's spawn is shared with Vyragosa.
Like 30 mins ago i decided to go check anyway, cuz i'm scrupolous, and i clicked macro to check this server cache (ahn'qiraj EU), that was clean of the mount this morning.. surprise now i can link the mount to other ppl.. Do anyone know if this means that TLPD can spawn even 4hrs or less after Vyragosa?.. i'm a lil disappointed and i'll continue on searching for him now, 2 hrs from now and 4 hrs from now.. gl to all the others whose search is longing!

I'd been looking for this for about a week after hearing about it and doing lots of research, and by assuming it shared spawn timers with Vyra of 6 hours (who I'd killed the day before) I was flying round lookin for it but not really hoping to find anything. Crossed the field of blue drakes and was in the middle of typing to someone when I saw a weird coloured drake so without thinking I moonfire spammed it down but I was already flying quite high so fell and nearly died to fall dmg >.< used a health pot fast, went bearform and just managed to kill it before it killed me, was nearly having a heartattack at the same time from the surprise of finding it ^^ the corpse stayed there for about 20 minutes after I'd killed it. From what I've read the blue drake place around engine of the makers seems to be a common place to find it, just make sure you have a slowfall type thing (can buy a slowfall beer from some guy at Frosthold) or some health pots should you fall heavy. I'm guessing it shares the spawn timer with Vyra since I found it at the same time which I saw Vyra the day before. GL finding this thing, it's worth it :)

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.

Because you whine about camping for all of 6 hours when other people have spent weeks (on week 6 myself, 12 hours today alone).
And you want us to tell you pretty much everything again because you're too lazy to look for the information yourself or whatever, like everyone else here did. All important information can be found here and on other websites, put some effort into it or give up.

cuz my post was one of em heh none? =), i'll post screens for dirkee and vyra tomorrow, one person said that the drake got killed 30 mins after i killed vira (30 like 40 dunno exactly..). If macro works i can trust that TLPD has been killed between those 4 hours i was away from storm peaks.

Aparently the drake can get bugged and not spawn from one Tuesday reset to another. I can prove this because I was hearing from friends or guildies when it was killed and each time is was 6 hours to about 2-3 days and then all the sudden after it spawned on Monday it didn't spawn again for 9 days on Wednesday. I know this because my friend told me that it was killed at about 1:00 PM Monday and then after the reset the link to the reigns didn't work the entire week and then finally did after around 4:00 PM on that next Wednesday.
评论来自

I'm not sure about that. Yeah, he might be bugged. But it's a fact that he's just incredibly rare. Yeah, there may be the occasional "2 TLPDS in 2 days" but something lke that is rare.
I've been camping him for 6 weeks now, I only know of 3 confirmed kills (lost one of those to an enemy player, saw another TLPD corpse right when logging in, another one confirmed by not-working-then-working server query).
There may have been 1, maybe 2 more that happened after the first kill, can't check via the script that way. But I very much doubt there's more, so that'd be 3-5 kills in 5-6 weeks. I've even seen a whole week go by without the server query working once.
Yeah, that might be a case of a bugged spawn, but Vyra spawned in that time so I don't believe in a bugged spawn. Also it just might have been incredibly bad luck.
Also - it would really suck if after a few days (ie now, no TLPD spawn/kill since this week's maintenance on my server) you are sure that the spawn is bugged so you take a break - BAM! you wake up to a working server query.

I think I wanna /vomit.
Was cruising for the TLPD a few days back and saw a draenei priest fly by on one. I had to do a double-take cuz for a moment there, I thought it was the actual NPC, and not just a player on the mount. "Good for her," I thought.
Then tonight, while doing dailies in Storm Peaks, I fly by the SAME draenei priest, landing a killing blow on a freshly-spawned TLPD. That's right... she killed it for a SECOND TIME. A mage landed next to me and I told him what just happened and I thought he was gonna blow a gasket.
@Blizzard: Please make it so that if you have this mount already, the TLPD is friendly. For the love of all that's holy, please.

I have finally obtained this mount after months of searching for this thing on and off. (Took a well needed break for the holidays.)
Seeing as I have no reason to keep anything to myself anymore, I will share my findings and what I believe the actual spawn points for each patrol path to be. (Based off of about 20 Vyragosa sightings, mostly my kills as well.)
First, the specifics of the actual kill:
Located:
Blue drake fields.
Time:
Exactly 4:00am server time on January 13th.
Elevation
: 40-50 yards (Only traveled a short distance before it was within range of my holy talented Judgement with a 40 yard range.)
Most recent previous sightings:
Vyragosa at 10am the same day. TLPD on January 10th. (Time unknown.)
Below are what I believe to be spawn points for Vyra/TLPD.
This is based off of the most frequent first sighting locations, the likelihood of it being killed before reaching that location, and approach angles to rule out view distance as a factor.
Don't hold me to these absolutely, however, mob visibility can be a bit laggy at times and could still be a factor.
Ulduar/Terrace Path:
:
Seen coming down from the east side of the tower in this location. Would have been spotted earlier while patrolling the rest of the path if it had not originated here.
Temple of Storms Path:
:
Near the end of the bottleneck towards Snowdrift Plains. Most likely accounts for the majority of the Valkyrion sightings.
Brunnhildar Village/K3 Path:
:
Where I located mine and where I have seen Vyra appear while statically camping this area in the past.
Frosthold Path: :
Vyragosa seen lowering her elevation from higher up near the bridge-like structure near the graveyard disc. Vyra seemed to move from this point into the Frosthold path and was facing away from the center of the mountain when located.
I hope this helps all of you and wish you the best of luck. Finding this really makes you appreciate the time you have to not camp Storm Peaks.
It should also be noted that this mount perfectly matches the Paladin T7.5 armor set. I feel pretty now.

Just on the 2 day spawn timer thing, dont think thats accurate. I was using the item link macro on my server and 2 weeks in a row the item was not linkable to sometime over sunday night(Australian time) Putting the timer for those weeks from just less then, to just more than 5 days

Hello.
I posted a message similar to here in the TLPD NPC entry (32491), and would ask you consider a few points when posting. Let me preface my comments with a hearty congratulations to all who have the mount. A lot of us who do not yet have the mount use this site as a reference source to at least calculate how to improve their chances of spotting and killing the beast. For future posts, the following information would be appreciated, as opposed to, "omg got kthx bye". This helps no one searching these posts.
Please post:
Server:
Name:
Recommended so people can ask specific questions related to the server spawn times.
Server Time:
Coords:
eg 28, 65
How you spotted it:
eg. I came across it from the North/South/East/West
OR
I was camping 28, 65 and it spawned under me.
Height:
eg height of the ledge at 34, 65
Direction of travel:
It was patrolling from the North/South/East/West. It appears some servers have clockwise and others, anti-clockwise paths
Did you kill Vyragos prior or know of the kill prior? If so, how many hours before?
eg. I killed Vyra at 28 65 and TLPD spawned exactly 18 hours later at 44, 58.
The above information would be sincerely appreciated by other contributors on this forum, and allow them to update their research. Thanks in advance and big thanks to those who posted the macros and useful information above. It has allowed me to kill Vyra twice at 28, 65 (0820 & 1420 two days later) and narrowly miss a TLPD kill (I was camping 28, 65 and it spawned at 44,58, where a Horde Paladin was camping, 18 hours after the 1st Vyra kill. 2nd I saw nothing at 6hrs with guildies camping spawn spots and +12 hours was server maint).
lol. I just saw Sigmae's post (a few above) and it is excellent. Exactly the information we need. Thanks!

Hey guys, I have been reading through the various posts here and thought you all might find my story amusing if not a little embarrasing :)
About two weeks ago I had just dinged 80 with my Lock on Ballnazar (Euro) and was going through the various Hcs. Had just joined a raiding guild and was stood at the summon stone for HoL and HoS, we were just waiting for one guildy to get something from Dal and then we would summon him.
I was a few yards south of the stone away from the group when I saw a huge dragon go flying past, gold and green with a rare tag... oh I thought what could this be. So I shout 'hey guys, come look at this mob, rare tag'. By the time they all made it over to where I was I had stuck a DoT on it and brought it down to the ground. Like people here have said it was easy to kill and yes... you guessed it.... I had no bloody idea what I had in my hands :)
As it happened my guild members did and needed on the roll. I lost the roll and shrugged to myself I'd come back the next day to have a look for it. Next day came and in general chat everyone seemed to be looking for this mob, it's only now that i come on here I can see how lucky (unlucky) I was and have been kicking myself every since :)
So... I'm now hunting for the thing and so far nothing but I rekon the guild member owes me a pint :D
I'll post up again when I find it, happy hunting lads

Finally got him, 8:25 EST - Toorc on Kel'Thuzad:
As an update from my previous post about camping him, mis-tagging him (his hitbox is smaller then I thought), losing to the guy who tagged him on the roll (I had a 1 he had a 10):
http://img166.imageshack.us/img166/30/unbelievabletimelostgb9.jpg
After maybe 70-90 hours (could have been more) looking for him (temporarily giving up and resorting to Sons of Hodir dailies, Brunnhild and Frostborn rep dailies) got him doing the Frostborn daily to kill Stormpeak Wyrm's just east of Engine. I was actually mounted on the bird for the quest and had to dismount to tag, this time I did the dismount on his nose. TLPD was moving West and I saw him well below me, flying lower then I saw him the first time near Bor's Breath.

Spawn timer must be able to go pretty high, last time it spawned on my server (Burning Blade) was 10:30PM server time on thursday night.
But this could also be due to a despawn?

The time-lost was possibly taken out for a while so they could fix it. Because the time-lost has not been killed for over a week now on my server and about 7 people are camping it. I'm not saying it is, it's just a possibility.

I have been farming this guy for the past month and before every server reset I checked if I could loot it, and it could never link it. Until today that i decided to go do a Naxx with the ol' guild. When i got back out I checked to see if I could link it...and i finally got a response from the server. Those couple of hours away and I missed my chance. Just remember that this is all about luck and nothing else. The more time you spend flying around you are just giving yourself a bigger chance of being the lucky guy/gal to get it. So don't get down if you see you missed your shot, because if you give up you are just taking all possibility of getting it away.

well im back and like I said I had already given up a long time ago.
Anyways I just did the daily that gets you the bag with the chance of a polar bear mount in it and I was flying back to hand it in and I flew down to mine a Rich Saronite Node (coords 41,51 Engine Of The Makers. Just a few feet away from the female blood elf chick standing there with her wintersaber pet) when all of a sudden Dirkee spawned RIGHT behind me and started bullying me. I then returned the favor and bullyed his ass dead
this happened at exactly 2:03am Server time (5:03 EST my time)

Well i have been reading this section for the last moth or so and i have been looking for the TLPD my self.
I am posting today to show you where i killed Vyragosa because i think its a route i have not have seen him on.
i know its not that important but as most people say Vyragosa and TLPD share routes and Spawn times this might be helpful
This is the location on map:

Ok, So let me add my info to this thread...
Server Archimonde
Alliance
Tonight I couldnt sleep, spent most of the night chillin in bed watching TV. Around 620 AM (Server time) I decided to get up and log on, see if by chance I may get lucky and tag Vyra or Dirkee at least. I knew that Someone had killed TLPD on tuesday a few hours after reset so I wasnt to excited. But W/E I couldnt sleep anyways. So I loged on and decided to fly to K3 and ride up Bors Breath. I had forgoten to set my Visual settings high so only saw a fleeting shape disapear into the mist of something big as soon as i left K3. As I followed over the mine Fields I saw a green dragon appear infront of me. It took my a few seconds to register to tell you the truth... I flew to him and agroed him over the mind fields and had to pull him back.. I hit the ground and forgot to call out my pet in the excitement, but finally did. My pet took a huge hit from a mine and almost lost him but I pulled out and fought him to the death... His. Thanks guys for all the awesome posts.
In the Picture below you can see K3 in the background
(Edit*) He was heading over the mine fields going east, not towards Bors Breath at about 45 yards off the ground.

May I ask on which height he was flying at? He's going up along the water fall towards Bor's Breath after beeing next to K3. It's obviously a huge height difference between the two areas so I was wondering where to look, would you be able to spot him from ground level when he's at the K3 area for example?

Alright let me tell my experience on this rarespawn and general rarespawn timers. I think rarespawns are exciting so I have researched a lot, and this last screenshot of TLPD so close K37 completes my theory. This thing is PURE LUCK to find. It must have like 20 spawning points, since this drake can be found ALL OVER Storm peaks (I though only the part above in the mountains until I saw this screenshot by Saunier, thank you). I also trust people in their screenshots, since if someone sees a rarespawn in Northrend, they dont kite it around, they kill it as fast as they can. I also think its nice that its so hard to find, since its a *!@#ing free Proto Drake..!
Now lets see the timer. First of all, I am so tired of people whining about this being bugged. Let me explain why you dont find any rarespawns: The Northrend rarespawns got unique and weird looks. Players who sees one, and see its silver dragon, wont leave it alone. And how many people you think it is in Storm peaks? Lets just see... ow 49.. That means its over 50 players there, probably around 60-70.. and thats only your faction! 70 * 2 = 140... 140 players in this zone.. What is the odds that you are on that one spot it spawns before the other 139? And as I said earlier, this thing can spawn all over this place, and its corpse lasts for 30 mins.. You cant scan the whole zone, every single spot, in 30 mins.. But now lets get some usefull stuff here. I talked to a GM while camping for another rarespawn for my hunter. They are not allowed to say much, but he gave me a hint: "There is no need to search for a new rarespawn while the corpse of another rarespawn is there" (just with a more PRO GM english).. So what he said is:
YES - The rarespawns shares respawn time, only one can live at once.
So this should explain why you cant find him.
Thanks.. and good luck

The reason why people are thinking the spawn timer is bugged is because it's SO random.
There are reports of people finding the drake a few hours after the server reset, and then there are other scenarios like the one I'm caught in right now.
It's now Thursday morning and the server cache says that it hasn't been looted. That's 48 hours. Also, we've established that he doesn't spawn on intervals of the clock... Which means he's either triggered by en event or a flag, or he has a chance to spawn every minute and it's 1 in 1000 or something.
In fact, I've never seen him, and I've been out here for 200+ hours in total.
I have an entire 18 slot bag full of Vyragosa helms. I've killed her so many times I don't even bother attacking her when I see her. I've seen Dirkee four times.

-Vyra and TLPD share the same patrol routes , it's true, there are 3/4 paths, we all know that
-Vyra and dirkee are the regular rare in storm pick, it's true , if vyra is here TLPD is not, if Vyra's killed expect the TLPD at 0.1% or Vyra at 99% again and within the comming 24h, i means i can pop 5 min later or 14h later maybe never ! that is a fact
I finally understand it !
TLPD IS A BONUS RARE
....understand what bonus means for blizzard ... you'll understand why it's not easily foundable
ex: Skadi the ruthless 100% presence >> 1% drop a mount
TLPD 1% presence >> 100% drop a mount
Good Game Blizz !
Between me and You i prefer the 100% presence with a 1% drop....
Good luck

I just got this item last night on the way to do my Hodir dailies. I had read about this mount about a week ago so I set up a macro /target time-lost and every time I flew through that canyon from dalaran to the hodir dailys I just spammed it. After about a week I got it. (Lucky) lol
I am not one to sit there and fly around in circles for 6 hours trying to get something. The best way to get these little goodies imo is find simple things that arn't very time consuming. A bit of luck helps too.
I <3 my new mount.

Ahhh, you're the one I had the TLPD party with at the landing. I was going to ask you the specifics of your kill, but couldn't due to faction difference.
TLPD has been rather active on Archimonde lately.
I located mine on the 13th right before server maintainence (4am), then, if I understand right, another one spawned right after maintenance the same day?
Add that to your own kill and that's 3 in the span of 3 days.
Dirkee and Vyragosa were even up at the exact same time before your kill.
You're the first I've seen to actually provide a screenshot of TLPD actually around K3. Should be useful, as I've been trying to help a guildmate get a drake as well, who coincidentally logged off just before you found it.

Icecrown server:
Times posted are US PST, NOT server time.
-Spotted and killed Vyragosa on 1/12, approx. 2:45pm. Sighted @ coords. (47.4,64.5).
This was the maximum distance my macro would pick up the tag: You can see the corpse is outside the max range of the minimap:
http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll41/SaxyNate/Public/ScreenShot_011209_144213.jpg
I approached from 44,55 N heading south towards Brunnhildar and spotted the dragon @ 47, 64 heading north from the village, already on the cliff and flying right above the tree tops. After the tag another player approached from the south: I believe they may have been camping Brunnhildar as there was no one above, below, or behind me, and I had seen that toon camping there earlier:
This could put a spawn just before, or at, the cliff north of Brunnhildar Village.
-Vyra corpse sighted 1/15 @ coords. (27.7,62.8).
No pic.

I made sure to clear target first, and this doesn't work side-to-side. But apparently height won't matter much when targetting with your macro.
Corpse despawned about 20mins after kill.

I'm pretty sure Vyragos and Dirkee share spawn timers with the Time-Lost Proto Drake. I killed Vyragosa at 5am ST and game back at 11:20am and killed Dirkee the same day. Can anyone confirm this?

Kk guys listen up. I have made a step-plan for you! First: keep track of vyragosa. Check or find out at when she is killed.this is the first step. Then go to spawn places of her exactly 6&8 hours later. There will be a exact 12.39% chance that TLPD is there! (this chance will increase with 9% every time he wont spawn!) i have calculated this with higher mathematics. Gl hunting

Got mine today, 10:43 AM MT and Server Time
Server - Azjol-Nerub
Spawned : 28,63 Valkyrion
Downed it : 26,60 (Obviously it was heading north to snowdrift plains)
I've spent around 200 hours looking for it, and the day I got it I had been up for 25+ hours straight, so expect to wait a long time if you plan on trying to farm it. Other places I have seen the corpse is 28, 65 (right on the middle of the frozen lake - also where i decided to farm) and 36,75 (Time of this spawn was 12:21 server). The last kill I had on Vyra had been 12 hours and I feel its safe to say that a 6 hour interval is a good place to start but I'm sure it can spawn outside that. Not gonna list out all my Vyra kills but keep in mind, north of K3, Bors Breath, Valkyrion, Snowdrift plains, Engine of the Makers are hot spots. I've heard Ulduar is also a possible spot but I chose not to have to cover that much ground. In my effort to try to keep this short and clean, Good luck to all who are still looking for it and congrats if you've succeeded in getting it. Hope this information is useful.

I can confirm I downed him this morning at 6:16 UK time, Screenshot included. After 3 days of constant camping he did not show at the Engine of Makers 42,58, only Vyragosa was there, I got him at 30,65.
Hope my screenshots give your more info, I took it while I was fighting him so HP is confirmed as well as how easy it is since I am a level 78. I used all the info on these page so THANK U, I even used the pathing and made myself the pats using Notes as you can see on my minimap.
Good luck guys.
P.S.
To update my notes, Vyra spawned at the eaxact same tim 17:27 UK time, besides Vyra no other spawn showed up at 42,58 I camped the Engine place for 2 days straight both days only Vyra. I started camping at 23:30 on Wednesday night, on Thursday at 17:27 Vyra sight, on Friday Vyra sighted again at 17:27 so I decided to move to 30,65. I logged back into the game before bed at about 00:00 Friday night and at 6:16 Saturday monring I woke up by the Dinging:)
From what I see they don't share any spawn points or timers... that's my conclusion from the outcome.

Hello first time poster on Wowhead, so i just downed Vyragosa, first rare i seen in my 3 day camp
Server:
Perenolde US
Toon Name:
Vandrill(H)
Server Time:
2:12 am ST
Coords:
Downed at 27,55
How she was spotted:
I was camped at 28, 66 w/ my macro being relentlessly spammed as i watched TV. I believe i was about 70 yards off the ground and my macro hits gold going crazy. I look around a bit and see nothing until I see a few wing flaps above me about 5 yards or so. I aggro and use a macro where I cast avengers shield and bubble so i dont die on fall. It works but now im being hit by his ranged attacks, so I decide to run out of aggro range. mount up (60% flyer....Vyra isn't flying fast at all) and get the aggro again and kill her at 27, 55 on a mountain.
Direction of travel:
She seemed to be just leaving Bor's Breath (but also not sure if she had just spawned) and headed West over Valkyrion....she didn't get much farther after that lol. I did take a screenshot but i dont know how to get it here sing Windows Vista.
This was my first rare kill in Storm Peaks so i hope this helps and also hope the next one is TLPD
Back to the hunt!

This route is the one i've been using for about a week or so now and I find it's the best one I have made, here's why:
It covers Terrace of the Makers route, Valkyrion, Bor's Breath, Bor's Fall, Foot Steppes, and Engine of the makers... Every patrol path that we know of.
I've come across Vyragosa twice and TLPD (dead) once on this route.
It also covers Dirkee pathing zone
GL and enjoy!
Edit: Literally, 3 minutes after I posted, Found Vyragosa again and killed her near Valkyrion.

Well i just killed Vyragosa again my 5th time .
The weird part is that i killed Vyragosa almost 3 days ago and TLPD has not shown up or has been looted on my server after i killed Vyragosa 3 days ago and Today suddenly i see him again .
Does this mean the share Spawn time Theory might have changed ater the latest Maintenance?
Or did this happen to any1 else as well? Kill Vyragosa 2 times in a row with out the TLPD showing up?

I just spotted the TLPD at 6:19 by the mine field you do the daily at and checked for him at around 6:24 after switching to another account and searching for him I killed him around 6:27 so this could mean that the TLPD does not despawn after 15 minutes or that the despawn timer is random. This was all AM central time. He was patrolling by K3 when I saw him flying torwards the mine fields, after camping this damn drake for a friend I can finally say I found it, yay.
edit: It was reported that someone killed him around 8pm on our server last night also so thats a 10 and a half hour respawn.

2:30pm server time (Jan 18, 2009) - Draenor US
28,51 Time Lost Proto Drake
I'd been camping the mountains near this area the last couple days. I saw Vyragosa traveling what looked like the green route (clockwise) once, and then traveling back counterclockwise (maybe the red route?). I didn't get to follow him much each time, just enough to know that he would eventually pass my location. After maybe a couple days with no sightings, I was still determined to sit there. My macro pops up with Proto Drake, and he's headed right toward my spot (toward the village from the colossus), so I'm guess it was the red route again counterclockwise...
Good luck to all you happy campers out there. And I do know that It was looted at least once since the servers came up on Tuesday, because on Wednesday my Itemlink script started working. Here it is Sunday afternoon, and I have at least the second one on the server for the week!
Thanks for all the great info you wowhead devotees! :)

Is it too far-fetched to believe that my best odds are to just check after each server reset?
I realize it's likely the Dirkee or Vyra would be up instead, but from all the posts it seems people have the best luck being the first one out on the routes right after the servers go live after a reset..

Can someone clarify something about the macro that tells you if the Reins have been looted?
After the the 3.0.8 patch, I used the macro and it said it was Retrieving item information. Five to ten minutes after I used the macro, the Reins became linkable. I searched The Storm Peaks but could not find a corpse, so does this mean that after you the use the macro once, I would have to wait until the server reset in order to use it again or has it indeed been looted?
Thanks for clarifying.

BTW, in the last screenshot your AutoIT script+macro combo for Proto Drake farming is pretty obvious.
Anyone who knows what I'm talking about will probably see what I mean.
I can even see the macro on button 1 on your hotbar. Same name and icon and everything, plus same message it makes you whisper yourself when you target one of those rare mobs...

Tip to Ret Pallies (or any pallies really)
Due to our lack of a ranged attack and that judgements are too short to hit them we can't bring them to the ground to tag them.
But if you turn on Ret aura and fly right up to the dragon he will melee you making him (her?) tagged so at least you don't have to worry about other players.
Also, if you get dismounted then bubble :)

Coords: 29.66.
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).
TLPD Dead and looted :)

Ok. I'm not quite sure where she came from this time but I found her (Vyragosa) at 31.8, 69.2...........way way way up high like she was about to circle Frost Hold, she was heading west around it, then angled downwards, north, towards Valkyrion....I didn't follow her after that lol too much competition someone else would have killed her.
Again not sure where she came from but it was 11:57am server when I spotted her, I think she may have spawned at 11:55? Just a theory, because I killed her the day before on monday morning a 1:55am (before the servers went down), she spawned directly south of Valkyrion then.

Found dead in the snow drift plains today.
Honestly, some of the crap being thrown around here is laughable, mostly coming from people who claim GM's have given them information. A GM is not supposed to give out game information of this nature, so please do not listen to
anyone
who claims a game master gave them info on things like flight paths, respawn times ect.
Happy Hunting!

Can anyone confirm if Vyragosa is skinnable or not after 3.0.8 patch?

For paladins I made this macro:
/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.

My hunch may be right, I just spyed TLPD corpse in the Foot Steppes at 12:05am server. I missed it by 5-10 minutes.
Previous spawns I've seen/killed, 1:55am Monday, 11:55am Wed, 11:55pm Wed?

Thanks to all for the information! It really helped me secure my own TLPD mount.
I killed the TLPD at 00:12 server time (Argent Dawn - EU) on 16/01/08. It was flying west into the highest tier of Bor's Breath, just south of Valkyrion. The altitude was just skimming the tops of the trees the harpies are around.
The next known kill on the server was at 05:40 on 18/01/08, unknown location.
The next known sighting after that was flying north-east through Thunderfall, where it idled over the crater before despawning, unknown time.
Good hunting!

Summary of facts:
Server:
Executus (EU)
Name:
Pinto or Galanir
Server Time:
14:49
Coords:
30,65
How you spotted it:
Was camping at 28,65 ... it came flying along Bor's Breath from the east.
Height:
Pretty close to the ground level, was easily attackable standing on the frozen lake.
Direction of travel:
Going clock-wise
Did you kill Vyragos prior or know of the kill prior?
No I did not, and don't have any idea of a prior kill.
Details:
First off, let me make it clear that I been looking for 15 days before I found TLPD,
BUT
it was not a 24/7 camp. I usually logged off at night, so I have no accurate way of knowing the interval between spawns. Also, I only camped one spot in particular, so I have no way of knowing about vyra spawns/kills elsewhere.
I'd been camping 28,65 for almost 15 days. After checking all the suggested routes, maps, spawn points listed here on wowhead, I decided that 28,65 intersects 3 routes hence it was my best bet, mixed in with fly-bys on the patrol routes given in the previous posts from time-to-time.
During these 15 days, I initially spotted one vyragosa kill around 49,50 (Terrace of the Makers). Soon after this, came the server reset. I cleared my cache and proceeded to wait. During this week, I had 2 vyragosa kills, and witnessed another one. First time, she came from Valkarion and was moving over Bor's Breath in a counter-clockwise direction. The second time, she came flying low over Bor's breath going clock-wise (same direction/height as my TLPD kill). The third time, I spotted vyra coming down from the western side of Frosthold, and heading towards Valkarion. This time, I decided not to kill her but to follow her instead. She was decending from Frosthold, and then flew straight at around 60-ish yards from the ground. She was killed before reaching Valkarion though. So Vyra spawned 3 times that week atleast. On saturday, my server-query macro found the TLPD item-link when I logged in, so I assume it was killed sometime on Saturday.
After that, no sign of Vyra or TLPD for me. Wednesday came with another server reset, I cleared my cache, and proceeded to wait again. No sighting of either on Wednesday ... but Thursday at 14:49, my macro started going beserk. I looked at the top-left corner of the screen expecting to see Vyra, but NO, it TLPD. I look around frantically, spot it ... fly towards it clicking attack madly and finally tag it and get the kill.
Screenshot of the kill:

You can see the server-time on the mini-map = 14:49
And the co-ordinates on the fubar = 30,65
Another one, just to show the general area in regards to Valkarion:
http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/9209/wowscrnshot012209185207yj9.jpg
And finally a last one to see how far its visible:

Acknowldgements:
A huge thanks to everyone who's posted here with comments, theories, patrol routes, etc.
To everyone who's camping for him, don't give up. The wait is worth it.
To Deem, the alliance mage who had been camping that spot for the past 5-6 days (if you read this), bad-luck that you were logged out when he came. I can only imagine how bad you must feel, logging in and finding the corpse there with me sitting on a fresh kill. You've been a good sport mate, no gankings, etc ... and I wish you the best of the luck in your hunt.
Finally, 28,65 is becoming an over-crowded spot. On our medium-low population server, there were 4 guys camping that place on-and-off (including myself).
Edit: Wowhead client has uploaded the kill location

I was searching for the time-lost and found Vyragosa instead. He spawned directly above the pit in Brunnhildar Village. He was barely off the ground but quickly moved north and then west around the mountain like in the link of possible routes. I'm assuming this movement would be the same as the Time-Lost

Well, my search has finally ended. After spending 12 hours a day (actually sitting there, NOT botting like most >.>), from January 6th to the 22nd, the Time-Lost Proto spawned! My technique (if you want to call it that) was sitting in one spot and NOT moving. The location I chose was Bor's Breath, right in the dead center of the frozen lake, maybe about 40yds up. Proved to be an excellent spawn point. My times thus far are as follows.
- Tuesday, January 6th at 5:30pm Vyragosa killed at Bor's Breath (spawned in the center)
- Thursday, January 8th at 9:50pm Vyragosa downed at Bor's Breath (spawned in the center)
- Friday, January 9th 1:15am Vyragosa found dead in Valkyrion, seemed to be heading NE towards Snowdrift Plains, and was most likely killed by the NPCs in the location.
- Saturday, January 10th at 9:30pm Dirkee is killed slightly north of the Engine of the Makers
- Sunday, January 11th 7:51pm, Dirkee is killed due east of the Engine of the Makers
- Monday, January 12th at 11:54pm, Vyragosa found dead at Bor's Fall, most likely flying off the edge towards K3
- Saturday, January 17th, 2008 6:20-6:25am, Vyragosa spotted in Bor's breath, 29.1, 66.3, about 60yds above the ground. I could be mistaken, but I am almost certain she spawned directly on me, in the exact location, or a little west of me, but no more than 15yds away. I decided to follow for a moment, and she flew directly east along the frozen river (about the same height up as I found her) leading to Bor's fall, and seemed she was going to fly down it.
- Sunday January 18th, 12:50am, next day, Spotted Vyragosa flying down from the path from Engine of the Makers that empties into Bor's breath. She seemed to be flying towards me (heading west) but a shaman intercepted and killed her. I'm surprised she was up as long as she was, and assume she spawned near 12:30am.
- Tuesday, Jan. 20th, 2008 : 2:20-2:29am Vyragosa spawned, but "Bots" beat me to her
- Wednesday, Januarty 21st, 4:30am, Killed Vyragosa. She seemed to be coming from Valkyrion, from another spawn location. Some rogue tagged her but got killed by her, so I tagged and took down.
- Thursday January 22nd, 12:30am, PVP battle ensued as we rushed to kill, yet again, Vyragosa. I ended up getting the killing blow ahaha. She spawned literally on top of me, in the center of Bor's Breath, and flew directly towards Valkyrion, a route that was shown on
http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=Vyragosa&hl=en&emb=0&aq=-1&oq=#
- Thursday January 22nd, 9:50pm, Time-Lost was spotted on my tracker, flying east coming from Valkyrion. He wasnt flying in the same spot as Vyragosa, but more to the side of the temple, hugging it closely, about 40yds off the ground. He continued to fly and seemed he was heading up to the Engine of the Makers from Bor's Breath. PvP battle ensued as the chase for him began, and I finally flew into him to aggro and pulled to a cliff and downed asap.
Notes: All of these were confirmed downings, either by myself, or I've seen the corpse in person. There was one TLPD spawn about 6 days before mine, at approximately 2:00am, confirmed loot, but I didn't see it myself.. My conclusion is about every 3 Vyragosas, one TLPD spawns, but take from it what you will. Be sure to bring some Snowfall Lager! They can be purchased at the crash site for 2 Relics of Ulduar. I believe both are skinnable, if not skinned the bodies exist for exactly a half an hour. Both are indeed trackable, but the targeting macro can spot them right before they come into view:
/target time
/target Vyragosa
/target dirkee
/stopmacro
/run RaidNotice_AddMessage(RaidBossEmoteFrame,"There it is!", ChatTypeInfo)
/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\interface\\RaidWarning.wav")
The battle: He has 18k hp as said before, and will prefer to hit you with a few "time lapses" (hit for about 600 or so =/ ) before coming in to melee. Easy kill. If you are melee though, Vyragosa can prove to be a pain in the ass seeing as she almost always stays at a 20+ yd distance.
Anyone who wants this mount CAN get it if you TRULY want it, and don't give up! I am a perfect example; I was constantly taunted and told it'd never happen, but it only motivated me more. The rush is like no other =D. Good luck to you all on your search, and I hope I've helped!

I just got mine, was looking for it for about 6 hours.
I was flying the Green, Orange and Red paths in turns and got lucky I guess, someone said in chat that he/she just killed Vyragosa and after like 20-30 minutes I found the Drake.

Alright guys i'm a bit bummed but what the hell. it's been a month of looking for this guy 6 or more times a day. i've now seen Vyragosa 5 times 1 Dirkee and 2 Time-lost proto drake. The first TLPD i wasn't bummed b/c i was raiding and had no chance of finding him , he was killed in Terrance of the Makers. Now 2 days later which is today, I do my daily path from k3 to Bor's breath to Valkyrion To the Plains to Engine of the Maker back to BB. Now either i do that path or camp BB. So i do this and im feelin lazy like lets just stay at BB but i dont sure enough i do my route come back to find a druid ckilling my drake. So just remember Guys you can be takeing a risk leaving your area or doing the right thing u make the call im bummed but whatever. I tried my macro on him you can be a good 70 + yards up to hit him. GL To all and Gratz to the druid on Uther who was rewarded it.

Summary of facts:
Server: Mug'thol
Name: Palabobo
Server Time: 0415
Coords: 30,67
How you spotted it: Was camping at 28,65 ... it spawned at the usual Vyragosa spot on the side of Frost Hold Mountain, and began its pat down the side.
Direction of travel: North
Did you kill Vyragos prior or know of the kill prior? Nope, and don't know when it was killed last.
Details:
As for the server, Mug'thol has had a serious drought of TLPD spawns. It used to be found within 1-2 days of the server coming up. The past 2-3 weeks, it hasn't been found for, easily, 6 days after each server up. As far as I know, I'm one of 3 who've gotten it the past few weeks. I check the server cache script religiously, so I'd know almost instantly if it spawned or didn't.
Not much to say about - I'm fairly sure this is one of the first 100% confirmed spawns at the Vyragosa spawn point, on the mountain side. I've had Vyra spawn there MANY times, and have killed her many times there. I banked on TLPD spawning there, patting south from Valkyrion, or patting west through Bor's Breath. It just happened to be my lucky day (or, night?), and spawned at my favorite spot on the mountainside.
Sreenshots of the kill:

My apologies, as I took all the screenies with the interface off.
Acknowledgments:
I cannot thank the positive thread contributors enough. I have spent the past 6 weeks here, maybe times in 12+ hour spurts attempting to find TLPD. Ive only seen it twice - once, I missed it by 5 minutes due to stopping to make a sandwich. The other, was my kill tonight. I finally deemed that laps were unreasonable, and decided to pick a spot with what I felt was a semi-high likelihood of spawning or at least running into her. Tonight, finally, seemed to be my lucky night.
Many times I wanted to give up, especially after I got my Red proto-drake the other night. I couldn't help but almost say to myself, "Well, its red...its good enough right?". In actuality I knew this became my white whale, and after spending weeks of my time camping it, it'd be a slap in my own face to give up.
To those left hunting it who truly want it: don't give up. Stick to your guns and eventually you'll find her around.

I have been camping him for the past few nights, and noticed something (which has been reported before, just for the record).
Last night, at 6am, Vyragosa flew into my macro flying in east towards Bor's Breath (Was camping over the frozen lake). He was killed quickly afterwards (Hunter managed to tag him). The hunter was camping engine, and ran into him at the curve in Bor's Breath. He assumes a Frozen Waterfall spawn.
Tonight, again at almost exactly 6am again, Vyragosa flies into my macro again. I'm still above the frozen lake. This time, we have a guaranteed spawn location at Valkyrion, seeing the hunter was flying in from the north, saw her, then fell to her death trying to tag her. Vyra then pathed towards my location at Bor's, where we tagged and killed her.
Now, I find it a very large coincidence that both of our spots have been at nearly 6am. As such, I assume that there's something to do with a 24hour timer, or a spawn time at 6am. If this also comes into affect with Time-Lost Proto Drake is another matter altogether, but it might.
SUMMARY:
Vyra killed twice at 6am above Bor's breath 24 hours apart.
First kill was most likely a waterfall spawn.
Second kill was a
definite
Valkyrion spawn.
EDIT: We did not find a spawn at 6am this morning, but much to our suprise, just spawned a few minutes ago. Thats another 6 o'clock spawn. Coming down the mountain by Frost Hold.
Getting a bit.... noticeable.

Correct - luck is pretty much all you need. It took me 3 weeks before I even saw it, and it was dead when I did. 3 weeks later I finally saw it again and killed it. Long 6 weeks to only see it 2 times lol.

I wouldnt just call it luck since many people like myself used this thread to find as much information as possible, but still a part is luck. But the best tip i can give you all is to get a gather profession like Mining or Herbalism. Its more "fun" then just flying around.

Just killed Vyragosa on US-Kilrogg at 23:55 Mountain time, 22:55 server time.
I've killed her once before and it was at 17:55 Mountain time, 16:55 server time. To me this confirms many posts that have said she is on a 6 hour spawn timer.
As for time-lost and her sharing a spawn timer, I'm still not sure.

CONFIRMED: Found him at 30,65 in "Bor's Breath" in the Storm Peaks at 5:55 a.m. sever time. He was flying counter clock wise around the the temple of storms. I waited at 30,65 for about 45 minutes spamming the /tar time macro, about every 5 minutes flying around the Temple of Storms. Sure enough he spawned.
To get him down to the ground your best bet is to make him mad by flying into him on your current flying mount. As a Holy Priest i can tell you that this is an easy fight! Good luck, and happy hunting!

low and behold I come back to sit at my PC and.........................I see Vyragosa fly from underneath me!.
too bad it wasnt you know who :(.......anyways I proceeded to drink a snowfall lager and tag her as I fall down, though thanks to her not flying all the way down the ground and me being a melee class, I crossbowed her to death! >< it actually didnt take as long as I had thought it would although there was still plenty of time for someone to come and gank but that didnt happen. Late night ftw!
Killed at 32,66 in bor's breath just in front of the small frozen waterfall there. Time was 12:56 server (3:56 EST, My timezone)

After more than 14h of camping TLPD didnt show up, instead Vyragosa did. Found her flying trough Bor's Breath heading west, at 29.65. Pulled her by flying trough her and using Death grip to pull her to the ground since shes ranged. Droped a satchel of spoils with 30g, some crystalised fire and 14 frostweave cloth and a blue leather caster head lvl 78. Will post a screenshot soon.

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!

hav0cist
My current assumption is that on either a server reset or a kill of one of the rare spawns, a new timer is started between
30 minutes
6 and 24 hours. When the timer fires, a new rare spawn appears. There is a very small chance that spawn will be the TLPD, otherwise it will be one of the others.
There have been a few 30 minute respawns noted and a few 24 hour respawns.
(All of the reports of less than 6 hours between spawns have been of Dirkee.)
There is obviously no proof to back this theory up.
Edit: When I wrote this I thought that all three rare spawns shared a timer. It seems much more likely that Dirkee has separate spawn timers from Vyra and TLPD. From reading through the comments, it's clear that Vyra is on a spawn timer between 6 and 12-24 hours. (The times greater than 12
could
be someone else killing and skinning Vyra without it being noticed.)

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 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 finally got my TLPD today. I have spent every spare minute of my time for the past two weeks in Storm Peaks attempting to find this mount for myself.
After about a week of camping and 9 or 10 Vyragosa kills, I decided to start logging my info so that I could post my findings for you guys, since the comments I read before this were insanely helpful. Hopefully I'll be able to help you guys out too.
1/25 - 6:00pm Vyragosa @ 28, 66
1/26 - 8:00am Vyragosa @ 28, 66
***I missed a couple of spawns in here due to work and classes.***
*Tuesday Maintenance, Sever came back up around 11:30am*
1/27 - 7:10pm Vyragosa @ 46, 60
1/28 - 6:18am Vyragosa @ 28, 66
1/28 - 11:13pm Vyragosa @ 46, 60
1/29 - 2:30pm Vyragosa @ 28, 66
1/30 - 2:40am Dirkee @ 42, 53
*Rolling Restart @ 9am Server time*
1/30 - 7:10pm Vyragosa @ 28, 66
1/31 - 9:22am Vyragosa @ 28, 66
1/31 - 6:18pm TLPD @ 28, 66
All times Central (which is my server's time)
Do what you want with the info.
I noticed that most spawns happen within 11-14ish hours of the last spawn, occasionally a spawn will differ though and come sooner or later.

I finally got my TLPD tonight, Feb 1, 02:40 GMT+1 on EU-Trollbane.
Funny thing is, I was aware of TLPD's existence, but I've never really 'camped' him. I usually went in a circle around Temple of Storms to mine some and spammed the macro every now and then. This time, as I approached Bor's Fall, coming from within the ravine, Bor's Breath, I spotted a Titanium vein, and went down to get it when my macro went off, I finally had him.
He came from the west, from Frosthold along the mountainside at around 36.4, 78,2. He turned into Bor's Breath at around 40 yards up in the air. Don't know if it was a spawn, but it must've been, since otherwise he would've been dead, as I knew there were plenty of campers in the region.
I got lucky and got him without really spending much time. :)
Though, it should be noted that I almost failed, since I tagged him, but couldn't find my slowfall lager so I fell to my death, catform didn't save me. :(
Luckily, the graveyard was really close, so I could get back, and trained him down to the ground at around 30.8, 65.5. Didn't take many seconds before the campers found me as well. Some of them got a bit !@#$ed. :) Which is understandable.
Should be noted that I killed Dirkee in the morning of Jan 31, at around 07:04 GMT+1 north of Grom'arsh Crash site, coords: 41.2, 40.4.
At around 07:35 GMT+1 I found Vyragosa's corpse, not far from where I killed TLPD tonight in Bor's Breath.
Exact coords of the corpse: 36.6, 67.3.
I wasn't in Storm Peaks during the rest of that day, so can't give you much info about any of the respawns that followed. I know for sure though that TLPD never spawned during that time.
A great tip of mine is if you have a gathering profession, say, mining or herbalism, you go in a circle near all the common routes that Vyra/TLPD have been reported to take, and you won't just waste time camping, instead you gain some cash as well.
Feel free to ask any questions and I'll be happy to share details regarding my experiences with the rares.
P.S -
I just must say that without the comments here on wowhead and all the maps of the routes, I'd probably never have killed him. So my hat's off to you guys, and I'll try to help share info as well as a token of my gratitude.
<3 wowhead.
Over'n out.

Good job blizzard, like always the jokes you make are always fun especialy in names.
time-lost proto drake as his name says it is a big lost of time...
I browsed all the web to find : spawns; time spawn; macros ; addons... i had the ultimate knowledge to camp this mount... end of story i got bored. I prefer violet drake ^.^
for those who are still looking for infos of the best ways to find him there are some hints:
first: get an addon wich say
/cleartarget
/tar Dirkee
/tar Vyra
/tar Time-lost
/stopmacro ,
/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Music\\ZoneMusic\\DMF_L70ETC01.mp3")
download:
autohotkey
with and put this script:
Loop 1000
{
Send {9}
Sleep 4961
}
finaly put your macro on your spell tab on the 9.
when this is all done go east of engine of the makers at a spot where blue drakes won't attack you.
when everything is ON you can walk around the house and play xbox eat or sleep and when you hit a target the 8 minutes lengt will start and you will be sure to notice it.
<stop the sounds and music of WoW and turn volume high to be sure to hear it anyways the sound will play anyway.>
IMPORTANT: this isn't without risk there are very small chance to be banned but it didn't happened to me.

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

Hello! I decided to write some information about how I got my TLPD to help those hunting.
After 2 months of searching I was getting really discouraged about finding it and so tired of flying around Storm Peaks.
I had killed Vyragosa 4 times and Dirkee twice.
I decided to stop flying around and camp around Bor's Breath since thats where he is found the most.
I started camping on a little ledge around 30,3. 68,2. facing the temple of storms.
On 1/29/09 I at about 6amGT (PST) I spotted Vyragosa flying the path of Bor's Breath towards Valkyrion (which was interesting to me since thats the first time I had seen her flying towards it and not away from it) and Killed her right at Valkyrion.
The next day at about 1:30-35pm-ish I was camped at the same spot talking to some friends in my guild.
A druid in my guild had just told me he was in Storm Peaks and had JUST killed Dirkee.
I stayed at my usual spot not even 2 mins after he told me that I spotted the TLPD! (Which makes me think they may some how be connected? *shrug*)
There were a few people near the area who seemed to be AFK, I flew after it and took it down right outside Valkyrion (it was flying the same path as Vyragosa the previous day).
He was a very easy kill, I just hit him with Shadow Word: Death and then Levitated to the ground then he WARPED down to the ground and I killed him.
He dropped a neck piece and a bag with frostweave and gold.
Below is a picture showing were I was standing when I spotted him, the arrow shows his height and the direction he was flying in.
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y230/usagiyuri/TLPD/TLPDSpotted.jpg
And here are some shots of where I took him down
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y230/usagiyuri/TLPD/TLPDKilled2.jpg
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y230/usagiyuri/TLPD/TLPDkilled.jpg
BTW, one of those AFK people said they were using a exploit that was to make a loud noise when the drake spawned and that it did NOT go off as he sat there AFK while I took the drake down. I was not using the macro when I found him, just sitting there.
Hope this is helpful to someone.
Happy Hunting!

I just learned about this mount yesterday when I saw one flying through dragonblight, so I came here to look it up, and Bor's Breath seemed like a common location... so I sat above the frozen lake for about an hour or so spamming my macro every few seconds. Eventually, TLPD showed up on my target and I flew southwest a little bit and killed him.

After much research hundreds of comments on Thottbot, WoWHead and GameSpot. I have compiled a map with points of CONFIRMED Time-Lost Proto Drake kills.
Not, vyragosa, or dirkee. ONLY the Time-Lost Proto Drake. These points were confirmed by screenshots posted along with the coordinates.
Here is that map
http://www.wowhead.com/?maps=67:391580360633330660391448275563281518281671351638270580380590351881420590430580321660378625360741269660310640281500461600380650300650520679291477304440461520439590367718440576
Notice the circle it makes.
20 minutes after spending 3 hours compiling this map. I got my own kill on the drake (lot of good that map did). Kill was at 28,64.
The Drake spawned on top of me. So i would like to submit this spot as a
CONFIRMED SPAWN POINT: 28,64
He spawned really really high up in the air. So high in fact that a rogue like me with passive safe fall and glyph of safe fall was reduced to 25% hp after the fall damage. Keep this in mind when judging your height.
Happy Hunting!

Hey mate, trying to find this elusive creature and was wondering: what do i do with this macro? like i put it in wow and the item link comes up but when i click on it the item info never appears, it just keeps saying "Retrieving Item Information". I guess my question is: Whats supposed to happen when i click this macro?

So this morning while browsing over the WoW community forums during college, I stumbled upon a thread about some sort of rare spawn that dropped a Proto-Drake. Along with the other 99.9% of the WoW population, that was more than enough to peak my curiousity, and so I headed to this Wowhead entry to read everything I could about the "Time-Lost Proto Drake" and the theories and strategies surrounding its capture.
Around 11 P.M., I finally wrapped up my college and decided to head home for the night. The Proto-Drake still fresh in my mind, I logged on around 12:00 A.M. to try my hand at some farming.
After doing a heavy bit of reading here and over at thottbot, i followed the normal routes around the temple of storms, the engine of the makers, Bor's fall, k3, brunhildar, etc. for what seemed like an eternity. Finally at 3:45 A.M. i decided to give it a rest and accepted an invitation to 25 man O.S.. We wrapped up the raid around 4:45 and although dead tired, I decided to give the Storm Peaks one last go around.
After about 10 minutes of flying over the same old Patrol routes, I was about ready to throw in the towel, but I managed to muster up the will to try one last time, and this time I decided to try a slight deviation and head up to the front edge of Ulduar from the NW edge of the temple of storms.
As I drew closer to Ulduar, I saw something flying at me through the fog. Could it be? Yes, flying straight at me was the Time Lost Proto Drake, and before I could even hit my macro I was flying full speed towards him. This happened at approx. 5 A.M. server time, and as no one else was around, I had no problems dragging him down to the top of a pillar, where I basically 4 shotted the poor thing.
So now I'm sitting atop my Time Lost Proto Drake, happy as can be.
Total Time Invested: 4 hours farming + planning.
Yah, you could call me lucky. I know I feel it. Thank God. I was just about to log off to.... haha.
Anyways, good luck to the rest of you, and here are some screenshots of the location I killed him at, and even a date and time stamp for all you doubters. Good luck, God Bless, and Good hunting. :)

Just one more note, i can confirm that TLPD was killed last wednesday around 16:00, so exactly 7 days ago.
Tnx to all for nice informations.

I was spamming my macro at my regular spot over the frozen lake when it started going off. In excitement I didn't notice that I hit my mouse and it was no longer over the macro, so I thought I was out of range. I frantically looked for it and saw it heading downwards, and I noticed a Blood Elf Death Knight was kiting it down, so I flew over to it, dismounted, Shadow Word: Death casted at it, and levitated to safety. Needless to say the death knight wasn't pleased. Its just a lesson on how to always bring slowfall lagers ;)

Just spawned at 03:36 CET on Stormscale EU after
two hours of INTENSIVE grinding
. Spawned at the end of Bor's Breath, near Valkyrion and flew over Valkyrion towards Snowdrift Plains, killed it before it got that far though.
Several of my friends had it spawn on that excact location, so this is surely a hot tip if you're after this ubercool, uberepeen mount. :-)
Btw, I really think they should add some kind of Feat of Strength for this mount, perhaps with a title reward ('the Time Lost'?).
Deathcharger's Reins
has got
one
(not with title though), so why not this one.

I have been looking for a while on my own and thought I would share the info I've gotten so far as well as ask for answers.
I've mostly been hanging out at 28,65 or around that area, spamming macros while reading, studying, watching movies, you get the picture.
So far I've recorded 7 Vyragosa observations, 3 of them being actual kills.
Here's the date and time I've gotten since I actually started recording my observations:
Vyragosa:
3rd Feb. Time unknown, observed at 31,65
4th Feb. 02:30(am), 28,65 (kill)
4th Feb. 12:10, 28,65 (observation)
4th Feb. 17:50, 28,65 (kill)
5th Feb. 04:50(am), 28,65 (kill)
7th Feb. 11:40(am), 28,65 (observation)
7th Feb. 23:32, 40,62 (observation)
From my experience she seems to be respawning every 6～10 hours, and seeing as I'm almost only searching for her from 28,65, this would mean she could spawn even more often if you include the other spawn points. That, or she just have a quite high chance to spawn at 28,65.
So far I have neither killed nor seen Time-Lost, before this weeks server reset the server enquiry was stuck on retrieving the whole week, meaning he didn't spawn at all last week I take it. (how's that for rare) However what's worth to say is that the morning just after this weeks server reset that macro struck gold, and it found the link to the item when I logged in at 07:00 in the morning. (server maintenance scheduled for 05:00-07:00) I'm pretty sure there was 0 people in the area after doing a /who storm peaks that morning, and I've never seen anyone with the mount since. Have they changed the way that macro works, will it show the item regardless of it it has spawned or not? In any case, is there a way to reset it? (Probably not though)
Good hunting to you all

In response to the speculation of them sharing respawn timers, the only true fact about that can be confirmed by something a GM said in regards to Loque'Nahak. There can only be one rare alive in a zone at a time, the space between the deaths and spawns were not clarified.

Just died on Stormreaver at 11:05 pm server exactly. Could not possibly have been spawned for more than a minute, as I had just flown by the area and stopped to chat with a friend, turned around and saw him get tagged. I was actually mining at the time and since I have a green proto not particuarally interested in killing him ( although, I definitely would have if I had been the first there ). He died on the small frozen lake at the intersection between Frost Hold and Valkyrion.
The lucky killer was a warlock from my own faction ( I actually flew over very quickly to see if I could gank the person and steal it =P ). Such was not the case however, and grats to him. Hope the information helps the hunt. Good luck all!

So I have been looking for this drake for around 2 weeks now. Ive seen Vyragosa twice. I killed her once at 7:36pm severtime at the frozen waterfall on bor's breath near valkyrion and also seen her killed near the gates of valkyrion. I have only once however seen the TLPD... and it was its coprse. I had been camping it all week and left for just 1 min to check another area and read a post of the WoW forums. I sadly came back to a dead TLPD with another player standing over it. I asked if he was the one that killed it and when it was killed. The reply i got was "it was a hordie no more than 1 min ago"
I found his corpse on the side on bor's breath just past the waterfall where i usually camp. :( hopefully next time ill have some luck and ill be the one that gets the kill.
Goodluck to everyone else out there hunting this drake.

I killed the drake today on my 78 shammy alt. lol I couldn't catch up to him but a guildy was very near and we both killed him. He spawned above me while I was questing and I followed him along the entire route marked in green on the link from this page. I lost the roll but was still really cool to get to kill it. He spawned on 2-8-2009 @ about 8:20 PM server time, The Forgotten Coast.

Well it finally happened. I captured the Time Lost Proto Drake at 12:40am on the Spinebreaker server. I started this hunt about a month ago on and off. I found Vyragosa on my second day of hunting around 11:30am and he spawned at 36,69 where I killed him. I got too excited and didn't follow him.
So the next day a buddy of mine saw the TLPD at 9:30am where it despawned before he could engage at the mouth of Bor's Breath. (Very close to where I killed Vyragosa.)
Then while I was coming to check around Bor's Breath flying clockwise around the temple my warning went off for the TLPD. He circled around the Temple of Storms clockwise and I caught him right before he went into the Bor's Breath area (36,61). (Very close to where I orginally killed Vyragosa.)
I know he has at least a 6hr spawning time and we know that if one of the other guys is up then TLPD won't be. My advice for the best place to catch him is in the Bor's Breath area around the Temple of Storms. That seems to be where most people catch him, and it seems that area is where a lot of his paths intersect.
Good Luck Hunting! and I hope my story helps out!

He said he tried to engage it around 9:30am server time and it despawned right in front of him before he could engage. Why would I lie or him? That's stupid to even say. Read the first thread, I think with that I just confirmed that he despawns. I don't know the time but I'm not going to keep hunting for it when I have it, so Good Luck!

I got really lazy and I found TV make passing the time a lot better... so I added both things together and came up with this macro! Its alert you by raid warning that the dragon is near you in the area you are camping.
/target Time
/script if UnitName("target")=="Time-Lost Proto Drake" then SendChatMessage("Target Found - %t", "RAID_WARNING"); end
Hope this make farming a little less painful! It does work outside or groups/raids.
(Has Been Tested)
Happy Farming! :D.

I just got the Time-Lost Proto-Drake on Garithos (H). I have only been farming for 3 days, so it was more luck.
However, the spawns of Vyragosa and the TLPD were all 24 hours apart. That was 3 days, back to back. The first 2 days I killed Vyragosa shortly after 4am server around Bor's Breath. The TLPD kill was over Valk. They didn't spawn in the same place, but all 3 spawns were at 4am server.

I have been hunting this for a week now i think.
Monday Feb. 9th at 19:15 server time, Vyragosa spawned. Unfortunantly I didn't get the kill.
Today the 11th at 02.00 server time, TLPD spawned. I was pretty tired and decided to lay on the bed just for a minute. 1 minute later I got up again, sat on my chair, flew a few metres ahead from my camping spot @ 28,65, towards bor's breath.
First time i hit my macro my chat was filled with TLPD. I lost my breath for a second, looked around and saw a freaking paladin killing it.... That 1 minute on the bed was the dummest thing I've ever done, and I'm still furious on myself.
One thing I wanna tell you though, if you are hunting this baby yourself: Patience, and........ DONT GO AFK!

First comment of my new account.
Kill TLPD after 1 and a half day of camping. ! (total 12hours)
Location: Frozen Lake 28,65
Server: Neptulon EU
Time: 6h after maintenance today
Player: Hatenia 80lvl - Holy paladin (transfered from Genjuros EU - as Linely)
Story.
I got my riding skill 2days ago and i had only 100g in my bag... so i ask my friend about any cool dragons mount that i can get for free..(i knew only about CoS timed).
He told me about an egg of oracles, some rare drops in UP and Oculous hc and about a rare moob in peeks.
I said wtf?, there is a moob that drop a drake , where is it?
he laughed and told me that if i get it he will give me a b***job ...
anyway i started reading the comments and learned about it.
i picked the frozen lake route to run, and i kept reading the comments...
so around 18.00st , and 1hour before raiding i was running up and down on the frozen stream, and i saw a horde trying to kill the Vyra exactly in the middle of the frozen lake...
fly near him , stun , aoe , bubble and holyshock him until vyra kill him..(im holy pve, i suck in pvp) then i aggro the drake and i took the achiv :)
the second day it was maintenance so server was off till 11.00st . i log on 12.00st and i decided to camp over the lake and NEVER make laps...
i had wow in the left part of my screen in really small window and watched the valkyrion village with max camera range..
in the comments above i saw a macro about linking the item and watching if there is on cache and a macro that makes a raid warning when TLPD is near you.. so i was trying to make that macros..
around 15.00st i run CoS timed , but we failed in the last grps and disband..
i flied back in the lake and i was waiting for my 19.00st raid ..
i completed the macros and i binded it to my middle scroll button .. i muted all the sounds except for the one in the raid warning ..
when i finally read all the comments, i focused on my scrolling about 10min ... when .. my speakers start playing a stupid sound and i was targeting in a red window the TLPD !
Hand of Reconing , and Bubble .. for 10sec i was shacking and my finger was spamming the macro .. then i killed him and i brag in all chats about it ...xD

Day 3 of hunting for the Time-Lost Proto-Drake, I finally see Vyragosa for the first time as I'm coming from Valkyrion to head through Bor's breath, my macro starts going crazy and there she is Descending from Frosthold. I get aggro and drop on a mountain ledge and kill her, thanks to holy shock, she likes to stay at a range, but was easy as a holy paladin to take as I can drop healz on myself. She then drops and gets stuck in the side of a mountain, so I can't loot her. Lol, if that was the TlPd, I dunno. Anyways it was around 8pm when I got the kill. Any suggestions on how I should play it now, that I've seen and know when vyra was killed last? This is the first time I seen any of the rares in Storm peaks or there corpses. Here is the kill shot.

This was day 3 of camping bor's breath for most of the days for the Time-lost Proto-drake and haven't seen it or the corpse yet, I'll occasionally make a few runs on some of the Fp's as I'm a herbalist, but don't like to leave the spot I camp as I fill that with my luck it'll spawn why I go make a run.
Edit: Just found and killed Dirkee around the Engine of Makers 12:12am, he was a tough fight for me as a holy paladin, had to do quite a bit of healing. Now, if I can just find that Time-Lost Proto-Drake. :D

Hey, guys. I finished the search for the TLPD at the second day of camping.
I can say, that the flight routes are all right and that the TLPD respawn only full or half hour...this is writing little bit higher comment too.
Good luck....

I spotted it last night just after 7PM at 33,66. It was flying just below the ruins on the side of the mountain there. Flew by to aggro and pulled to 36,64 where I killed it. Almost died from 3 adds during the fight.

so..after 30 hours in the last 2 days, i can safely ascertain that this Drake does most definitely not have a 6, 12, or 24 hour spawn time on the Burning Steppes EU server..since reset wednesday morning, I have not been away from Storm Peaks for more than 10 mins whilst online for about 15 hrs a day, and have seen no sign of TLPD, or Vyra and Dirkee. Maybe it could have something to do with the "the ice stone has melted!" announcement that comes at intermittent times, close to what have been described in previous posts as spawn times.....still like it tomorrow, a ticket will be raised....

Well, I can officially say I've seen the TLPD....dead of course. I've been camping this guy for a few months now, on and off of course, started out camping him like crazy non stop for 3 weeks and kinda gave up.
After that I would camp him a few ours a day if that. Today I decide I'd start the hard core camping again. I was camping 28,65 where they say is ONE of his spawn points, and watching tv/spamming my macros. I get done watching an hour long show and decide to check my link macro to see about server cache.....sadly it showed up. I did a quick run through and found his corpse at 46,59. No hordies fessed up to the kill neither in Storm Peaks nor when I got to Dalaran, so I'm assuming it was an Alliance kill.
Needless to say I'm quite bummed...but I guess you just gotta be persistent! I'll keep trying, some day it'll be mine....
Server: Zul'Jin
Time: 9:04am Server time.
BTW: this server sucks for his spawns think only 3 or 4 have it now...maybe 5 but doubtful.

Got him on Kilrogg server. Level 77 Warlock (name Danghlar). Had been waiting off and on around 30, 65, for 3 days. On the third day i was at 30, 65 clicking my macro, just about to log off. Macro hit and sure enough it was TLPD. That was at Feb. 12 2009 11:05pm server time (1:05am central). TLPD was at 36, 66 when my macro hit, I didn't realize /tar would hit that far away, but it did.
I flew over, spamming my Shadowburn button and trying to calm myself down :). At 36, 63 Shadowburn hit and I began to fall. I immediately went to hit my snowfall lager. but he stunned me and i could not use anything for a few seconds. I thought i would surely fall to my death. But, i ended up catching part of the cliff and was left with approx. 400 health. Luckily TLPD is very slow, and I was able to Healthstone and pot and get me back up to close to full health.
Being only lvl 77 and nervous as heck, it was not a professional performance lol.. but, i managed to widdle him down and get my prize.
Mount dropped, a neck piece for a tank, and a blue bag with 25g a stack of frost weave and 4 crystalized waters.
After looting i realized that you need to be 80 to ride him lol. I musta skipped that part when looking him up on the net. Oh well, now i just have to hurry and level to 80.

Well after running laps mining nodes & spamming a target macro around Storm Peaks for the last month and a half I am very happy to say I finally killed the beast today. I'll add my experience so maybe it will help someone still looking.
I found him this morning right at the entrance of Valkyrion from Bor's Breath around 7:30 am server time.
He was flying maybe 50 yards up. I flew into him to grab aggro, he followed me to a cliff, I dismounted, death gripped him to me & killed. Easy kill hits like a girl.
Prior to today I saw him once about a week ago around 8:00am server time at the Engine of the Makers. Unfortunately he was already dead.
To find him all I did was fly laps around the map looking for nodes to mine while spamming a /tar time macro. Checking the server query link to see if he spawned & was looted since server restart already or not.
During my 5 - 6 weeks of looking for him I killed Dirkee 3 times & Vyragosa once. One time Vyragosa spawned 10 mins or somewhere around there right after I killed Dirkee because I saw & killed both within 40 mins. This was around 1:30ish pm server time.
Here are the pics/proof of my kill today.

I have to say being a miner was a godsend. It gave me something productive to do while looking for him. If it wasn't for that I probably would of gave up weeks ago. Hope this helped & good luck to you !

Someone in this thread spoke on how you could clear your server's cache by going to the Cache folder and deleting it. This would be useful if the reins have been looted after a maintenance/reset and you want to track times before it appears on a fresh server query (in the cache folder again).
Problem is, this doesn't seem to work for me. I delete the folder, close wow, restart, it creates a new cache file but when I run the macro to query the server again it finds the reins again. In other words, it doesn't reset back to the initial "retrieving item data".
Anyone else have this problem? What am I do wrong (or was the person just guessing it could be reset in this matter(.

ok i guess ill voice my opinion since EVERYONES post helped me, i found mine last night approx 12:30 cst on gurubashi. it seems this thing only likes to show up when youve given up for the day or not paying attention. i was litterally on the logout countdown timer with about 10 seconds left and then all of a sudden i see this shadow above me and its moving pretty quickly. i hurry up and cancel the logout and look up guess what i see THE TIME LOST DRAKE . at that point i had the biggest rush of adrenaline in my life. i didnt know what to do first lukily i was already mounted. fyi for those of u still looking it was flying neart the southern edge of that frozen river kinda high. north towards valkyrion or however u spell it.
lucky for me i was able to get the claim shot on it, keep in mind im now shaking like a crack addict. i finally figure out how the hell im gonna get him down. i dismounted moonfired and hit my slowfall. i had him 1/3 the way down and a horde came up to me and killed me and then the drake. hehe but the loot bag showed up for me when he killed it.
thats the story how i killed it sorry i dont have ss but i was a little overwhelmed at the time, hope this story helps some people.
HAPPY HUNTING!

Just want to add the little bit of info that I know. I got on as soon as our server came back up after Tuesday maintenance at 2:00 PM and waited. I was under the impression that one of them would spawn right away, this wasn't the case. So I made my rounds for awhile, checking if the reins were looted at all on the server, but nothing. I logged out at my camping spot and went to level an alt, checking every once and awhile to see if the reins were looted, but nothing. I would switch over to my main every hour, on the hour to check for a spawn. I was playing on my main, grinding away in Storm Peaks and checking til 9:50 PM, I checked if the reins were looted and nothing. I got a fast shower and got back on at 10:10 PM and made a round to see and nothing. Well I decided to check to see if it was looted and wtf, it was. I was so !@#$ed.
TL:DR summary, 8 hour spawn timer after fresh server maintenance from my experience.

I completed my JC daily quest in Valkyrion and was taking the long way around back to Dalaran when directly at the bend at Bor's Breath I saw the Time-Lost Proto Drake. It was around 4:45PM EST for those of you who think there is a time related element to him.
He was flying from the south and was making the turn west to follow Bor's Breath towards Valkyrion. He didn't spawn there, but was flying when I found him.

Well I been hunting this beast for a few weeks now have never even seen his body but came up with some interesting information today. After haveing a server restart this morning i log on and check my macro to see if the drake has been looted yet at all since restart and nope nothing comes up stuck at retrieving information. So I go do my rounds of herbs spamming my macro and bam i lock onto Vyragosa in Bors Breath @ 3:00pm server. More then sure she spawned right on me as well. 36,66 . I kill her and think hmmm im gonna go run some instances and such. so i did. Anyway so im randomly clicking the macro to see if its been looted or not while running instances .
So raid time comes up and all i keep thinking is its gonna spawn @9pm server(6 hours later then i killed vyra) and im gonna miss it i know it. But im in doing naxx and decide to check the macro @8pm and bam it works!. This puts a proto-drake spawn @ 5 hours or less after a vyragosa spawn. Witch leads me to think do they actually share a timer?
Ive killed Vyragosa 9 times since my hunt began and not once have i ever seen her less the 6 hours apart , i seen her 8 -15 hours apart but never less then 6 hours.
anyway just thought i would throw this stuff out there.
Happy Hunting, even though im abit down for missing out on that drake tonight :(

Thanks in large part to the great help I found on this thread, I FINALLY got my Time Lost Proto Drake kill this morning at 10:43 Server time. I got the kill at 28, 65; he seemed to spawn high up above me in the mountains, although it isn't out of the realm of possibility he was patrolling over the mountain. It took a long time to finally find this guy, I made great use of the macros posted on here in addition to my G11's repeating key feature. Thanks for all the advice guys, and good luck in your own hunts.

I've seen the TLPD once, and that was the night after release for WotLK.
Unfortunately, by the time I got close enough to him to pull, all my gear was broken from my use of Spirit Rezzing to get that far into the Storm Peaks at lvl 70. If I had realized at the time that it dropped a fancy unique mount every time, I would have gone back after repairing, and tried again.
The route it was taking at the time was the one that crosses over the library.

2 Weeks of solid hunting and I finally got my drake this morning. I was spamming my macro when bam , I sturck gold i was expecting to see vyra when it went off but i was in bors breath and when it goes off in there i usually see her , so i look and see im whispering my self Time-Lost drake Im like sweet. Odly enough it looked like it spawned right beside that alliance town in bors breath. 30,67ish . I killed him just past Valkyron. tryed to get him before then but died cause he was so high up and for some reason my slow fall lager didnt go off so i ended up dieing once from fall damage :( good thing the grave yard was close i ended up catching him again fairly quickly he doesnt move that fast less then 60% mount speed.
Right after I learn the mount there standing beside the body , I mount up and an alley drops right on me trying to gank me , he was definatly after it or sure. Anyway it was a long 2 weeks of solid camping so its definatly farmable if you put the time in it . I find late night early morning is gonna be your best time to farm for it , less people. I farmed from 11pm server to 8am -9 am server every night/morning. 6:50am was the time of the kill.

I had heard about this drake a while ago but today i decided to have a go at getting it for myself. I spent 2 hours macro spamming around the more popular routes. I then decided to just camp at Valkyrion as this seemed to be the best place to find the drake. At 15:09 my macro found the Time-Lost proto drake.....much to my disappointment it had just been tagged by a horde hunter and was taken down with little effort.
The drake was killed north of frost hold and southeast of Valkyrion. The body despawned at exactly 15:39 so 30mins after it was killed.

Was in Storm Peaks for a run to make a few daily quest and while i was there I thought "Well, could take a proto run".
Spammed the macro and the unthinkable came up, yes, the proto drake.
Was abit hard to get him down cause he was rotating above the "Engine of the makers".
Lucky as i was i got him down to the ground in time so he didnt evade.
I play on Emeriss and honestly dont know how many who got the mount, but around 5 i should think.
Anyway, Im a happy owner of the Time Lost Proto Drake :)

Just killed it earlier. The way I found it was just idle around right under Temple of Storms. I was idle in the air while watching a movie, just to try my luck. And around an hour into the movie I saw it fly past me. Didn't really aggro so i had to catch his attention for a bit, but it helps. Those of you who are looking for it, it's prob better if you go with "Don't look for it, let it find you." Btw, I didn't start looking for it until last night, so hopefully this helps some of you xD
PS: There are people who will PM you telling you that it died already, but it's up to you if you want to believe them or not.(I sure didn't :D)

Camped for it for a little over two weeks. This is what I can say I witnessed.
First off, it's faster then Vyragosa. I would even say it's equal to or slightly faster than a normal flying mount (60%).
I had no trouble catching up to it in an epic mount but it's speed caught me by surprise since I've run down Vyragosa before on a slower mount.
Like most spawns, it spawned in Bor's Breath, somewhere close to the frozen lake that intersects 3 different flight paths. The Drake then proceeded to fly into the small valley (where the hapries are) then it pulled up and flew directly over the the abandoned camp, where the iron dwarves are. My guess that is had the green route or red route as shown in the first post in this thread, flying counter clockwise. That is where I killed it.
It was a super easy and quick kill for a lvl 80 enhancement shaman. Also, this was back to back spawns of the Time-Lost on our server (I'm fairly sure). It spawned just before 10pm PST Thursday night, starting camping it over night, 24 hrs on Friday and the entire day on Saturday. There was no Vyragosa spawns during that time, which I thought was odd. Figured I missed one somewhere but at 10:58 server time, nearly 2 days and one hour later, the Time-Lost spawned and I finally have my mount.
That makes me believe that if your server goes a long time without seeing Vyrgosa spawn (more than 24 hrs), the changes increase that a Time-Lost will spawn at some point. That's my theory.
Best of luck!
**EDIT** Wanted to confirm the Time-Lost was on the red path, the Ulduar, which is the longest of them all. Again, she was moving counter clock wise. Now as to her spawn, I cannot be 100% sure she spawned at Bor's Breath. I read one report that on that particular flight path it's been witnessed that either drake spawns in front of Uldaur. It's conceivable that she spawned there and just happened to pass by as I was parked in Bor's Breath where I picked it up on my macro. I just know from the 4 Vyragosa spawns I've witnessed they all have been in Bor's Breath and pathed on one of the three routines that take you through that intersection.

That's natural. Some quick math:
- Let's assume Vyragosa has a random spawn timer between 6-12 hours (= 9 hours average). This means she should appear ~2 times a day. In many cases she gets skinned very quickly, so that her death (time, location) isn't revealed to other TLPD campers. You might have missed her more than one time.
- TLPD is a rare spawn of Vyragosa (same timer). Let's assume it can appear ~1 time per week (average). In relation to Vyragosa that means ~1/18 spawns (average). The time frame is then ~108 to 216 hours.That's why TLPD sometimes doesn't show up for over a week, and sometimes twice per week.
The larger the time frames get for Vyragosa (without a TLPD spawn), the higher is the chance that TLPD will spawn.

K, i have been camping this guy for 3 weeks for it to only spawn while i go for 30mins.... but i have a lot of my kills and recent kills of TLPD/Vyragosa.
2/13 Friday: 640 TLPD(friend killed, that was his time)(valkyrion Towards Bors)
2/22 Sunday: 1:10-130 TLPD was killed(saw body)(28.2,65.9)
i dont remember days... but from 2/21 till 2/22 no Vyragosa kills are recorded by me..and i was camping for almost every hour... last vyragosa i saw was i on Thursday @ 1:30..
Vyagosa kills, i have killed Vyra 6 times over the course of 3 weeks. been camping on/off but till this last 2 weeks at least 5days /played.
killed Vyra @ 3:40
killed Vyra @ 10:05 over valk ( patrolling TOWARDS Bor's)
killed vyra @ 6:15 over MS(in temple of storms on map) -- towards bors)
i dont have times on other ones, but my kills are all on 3 different locations.
1) Patrolling towards 28,65, from temple of Storms(just below the MS on the map) -- seen 3 times
2) Patrolling towards 28,65, from Valkyrion(i think he actually spawned in Valkyr, because i patrolled the entire Temple of Storms route, than just flew into Valky for him to appear right off of a building -- seen twice
3) Actual SPAWN location. Frosthold, off the side of the mountain, he was coming down from the top. maybe this is where TLPD comes from... or the rest because they all appear @ 28,65 constantly. -- only once
-- i dont camp the Blue Stormpeak Wyrms, so i dont know of any spawns there, but im camping there now to camp there now. or of Thunderfall
=======
latest kills:
2/22 (see 2 above) @ 7:36
2/21 Vyra @ 39.3,44.6 (7:35)Flying south from the canyon towards Crash SIte(i just killed Dirkee maybe 1 seconds before(near Engine) possible spawn location?)
i now am convinced @ 3 possible spawn locations now. Valkyrion and the one stated in(3 above)

Been camping the usual spot around 30,65 the past 2 weeks no sign of the proto drake untill today at 6pm server time. and then sadness happened soon after that i flew down really quick to tag him and i threw a living bomb on him but i was too high to survive fall damage and too low to cast slow fall before i hit the ground so needless to say i died and someone else got him right right after that :(

First of all, sorry about my english.
I`m the only level 80 of my server (it`s a fresh one) so i feel 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 00:33 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 just killed him today (Feb 23) on my server Quel'Thalas, at 12:04 am server time.
He was flying right at the start of Bor's Breath, close to K3. He was really high up, at the top of the mountain peak, heading north into Bors Breath. I didn't even need to use my macro, he was very obvious and stood out from a far distance.
I flew up to him to get aggro, used snowfall lager, then tagged him with a DOT. It was a pretty easy fight for a L80 warlock.
I had killed Vyragosa for the first time 3 days ago at nearly the same time (Feb 19 @ 11:30pm ST) and also in Bor's Breath, although it was on the Valkyrion side.
Here is a victory shot documenting the location where i killed him :)

If possible, please help me in confirming on which directions the TLPD flies on these routes.
I have these routes input on my cartographer as chains of note icons to help me hunt for this drake but knowing whether the TLPD flies on these routes clockwise, counterclockwise, a combination, or if it can fly in either direction would prove to be very helpful in hunting for this drake more efficiently.
I will scan these comments for any clues on which direction it may be (such as if someone said, "I saw TLPD flying from spot A towards spot B before I killed him.") and try to add them in later for each flight path (Red, Yellow, Orange, and Green)
If you know anything that can help, please reply under this comment.

Edit: From some of these comments, I'm beginning to think the flightpaths are really complex. From what I've seen, I'm beginning to think that the TLPD can fly in either direction
AND
it can go different directions at particular junctions. The map above may not be as solid as I initially thought. Will continue researching on this...

I'll try to keep this simple. Got him today at 12pm server time on The Underbog. Location: 35.2, 42.7 in Storm Peaks. Flying low enough I could stand on the cliff's side about 15 yards off the ground.

I spotted him on 2/22 around 3:40 AM. I didnt get him =(. He was coming from the frozen waterfall on the way to K3 coming through bors breath towards valk.
Found him on 2/24 around midnight on Thrall (US) server. Tagged him =). He was coming from the frozen waterfall towards bors breath. He was flying extremely low to the ground. He blinks so warlocks make sure to death coil him or something, when he blinks dots are dispelled.

can confirm that location. i saw Vyragosa spawn there, and i believe that to be a spawn point for them.
heres the macro i have been using, it performs better and yours doesnt work that well because if something attacks you you will auto-target them... and thats a waste of pm's
/cleartarget
/tar time
/tar Vyragosa
/tar dirkee
/stopmacro
/run RaidNotice_AddMessage(RaidBossEmoteFrame,"There it is!", ChatTypeInfo)
/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\interface\\RaidWarning.wav")
/w $self OMG %t
also, its a decent one b/c the sound/rw spam, and the whisper acts like a log. Plus it can target any rare spawn in Storm peaks. i believe it was posted ealier in this thread, but here it is anyway.
=======
a trick i have been using, is with AtlasLoot, you clear your cache in now all cache files in there i delete, you really only have to delete one, but its a good habit to do. Now after you do that, log into your character, go to atlas loot. search for -- that way you get all the mounts in WotLK, right click if you get info on it... than bad luck it has droped on the week already...
===
now, my server population on Jaedenar(us) is around Medium... or so and the spawns of TLPD have been maybe 1 a week...sometimes 2. with spawns being 3-4 days between. Vyragosa spawns just as much as every server, being 6hours between or so, and if you dont see him odds are someone else killed him. Also, i think the 2 Rare-spawns on entire Northrend might be true... or that i just have the worst luck ever... haha been camping constantly and i have only seen it twice. but it has dropped maybe 4-5times in past 3 weeks.

NEW INTEL ON A PATH:
i just took like 20-30 screenshots on a Vyragosa path around Terrace of the makers. i will upload em later but it was a pretty cool loop. Someone took my kill after he overlapped the first path, so hopefully this helps people. -- rumor that TLPD varies slighly on the guys path. but here it is anyway.
Spawn - vicinity of Valkyrion // i did loops around Storm peaks for like 30 mins... and on my 4th one Vyragosa was just north of Valkyr.
Flight Path Around Temple of Storms
total time on path: 7-9minutes

Killed him 3 days ago. Saw him flying north up bor's breath. I showed up around 4 hours after server restarted he was right there, if youre looking for him i highly suggest you log out near the engine of makers and go looking for it the second the server is up since theoretically the drake should be up. I know there were a few people looking since server was up since when i got it was immediately asked in general if someone had killed him as they could now see the reins. I am on a high pop rp server which pretty much means there are a lot of people looking for this mount so I can only assume i got mad lucky and caught him after respawn, which implies that the respawn is not 6 hours, maybe only 6 hours if he is killed but i dont think its 6 hours if he despawns himself (after all he is lost in time).

So...after reading all you guys comments about this beauty, I decided to set out on a journey to aquire it myself... but that wouldn't have to be so easy... so I went to the location where most people have found and killed him, flew around for some time while using my target macro, but with no luck, then I sat down on a nearby cliff, put up a campfire and pulled out my binoculars (engineering ftw) and I sat there looking out for something shiny... but no... then I mounted once again to search for him elsewhere, and before I knew it, I had spend 12 hours just looking for him, sadly, sitting up so long without sleep had taken its toll on me, and I was soon forced to rest, but before that I went for a little fly-by to look other places... and guess who I found... Dirkee... Not exactely what I was looking for, but nonetheless I killed him, he has around 50k hp, and is a bit tough, good thing im a rogue and used my evasion to dodge his slow, but rather powerfull attacks...
I went to sleep 21 gold richer... but my quest for the time-lost proto drake goes on...

Dirkee is a big mechanical gnome.
Vyragosa is a big blue dragon.
Time-Lost Proto Drake looks exactly like the mount.
And i have a question to all that have killed/seen the drake. Does it fly clockwise or anticlockwise? or is that random?

So I was just flying from Valkyrion to Dun Niffelem and saw a rare spawn, so I figured I could get Northern exposure done with finally. So I kill him and he drops the
Reins of the Time-Lost Proto-Drake
, the
bag of goodies
(a stack of frostweave and a few other items inside, as well as
Time-Forward Talisman of the Bandit
. Surprised the hell outta me because I was never really one for the rare item collection if it involves camping. Not after 3 days farming an emerald whelp back in the day :-p Now I am being told this is one of the rarest spawns currently in the game... and I killed him by accident? >.<

Hey guys,
I became really interested in this drake last night so I decided to take camping it up for a spin. After reading all the posts below and checking in on coordinates for the locations in which the Time-Lost Proto Drake has been killed and/or seen, I took the liberty of camping the only zones that had coordinates for it's "Seen and Killed", not just "Seen" areas. I do know that many on my server must have this mount because when i ran the script to check the server cache, it didn't pause for a split second, the info came right up.
After 8 hours, starting at 7pm EST till 3am EST, this mount didn't spawn nor was it seen by anyone as I literally had become friends with everyone in the zone by the time I gave up. I also binded my /macro of /target Lost-Time to my scroller and waited moments at a time when rolling into phased areas.
I also investigated consistently with
http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/3272/vyragosa4yn3.jpg
today. and still no hope.
I've read up on all your theories of calculated spawn points, and paths, and have come up with a theory of my own. I theorize that the TLPD might be a mob that only spawns when a certain zone event has occured, such as the fight between Thorim and Loken, or the defeat of the North Wind at the Temple of Life where The North Wind was trying to "manipulate memories of times passed" (<- sounded like a clue for a good zone event to me). Because of the fact that many hit 80 before the Storm Peaks (atleast on my server), it kills off a lot of chances for these events to take place which would increase the rarity of it's spawning. Where as on low populated servers, the drop rate might be a bit more sufficient because lower populations mean lower groups for instances, which causes more players to quest to level, causing more to finish the zone-phasing events.
This is just a theory, and a possible explanation why the spawning is so randomly timed. I put my hopes of the quoted and fabled "6 Hours" but that didn't work out too well for me. I do believe one thing and that's that obtaining a different drake might be a lot more easier and less-time consuming. But I still find myself traveling to storm peaks spamming my macro.
If any updates arise, I'll be waiting.

When I killed him he was flying clockwise. Earlier, someone posted he was going counter-clockwise. To answer your question, this dragon does whatever it wants, whenever it wants.

I want to share my experience hunting this hidden beauty.
1. I camped him using the macro posted here with raid warning, self-PST, and sound.
2. I used WIM addon (Warcraft Instant Messenger) to double the sound created. Instead of only the normal raid warning sound and a little beep for the default sound for the message, I set the message sound to be huge and annoying drum sound which helps when you're sleepy.
3. I camped and hover over the Engine of the Makers for around 2 weeks because of several reason, mainly because this is the "intersection" points between all 3 alleged flight paths.
4. I killed Vyragosa 4-5 times in the time I camped for TLPD. Two of them, has 12-hour difference but that's the only relations I could think of. I am not full time camping this mob because of real life obligations and raids. I remember I killed Vyragosa around 5pm twice, 2am once, 8pm once, and I believe 4am once.
5. Now, for the TLPD himself, I killed him at 4:50am TODAY (March 1st, 2009). The story is a little silly actually. I spotted him and I was very excited. Dotted him using SWP, Levitate down, but he attacked me and I drop down with 10% health left. I healed myself to full and then I realized that I forgot to keybind my damage spells and I was frantically CLICKING those Mind Blast, Smite, and Holy Fire. During the fight, he stuns a lot and I drop to 5% health because I pulled another blue proto. Guardian Spirit saved the day and he was killed finally.
http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/9615/picture27s.jpg
One interesting observation is that, after server maintenance on Tuesday, I logged on and no TLPD cache file exist. However, I have to leave the house and once I came back, the cache works. I presume this means that someone killed him during that time period I was out. I am not sure whether TLPD spawned anytime between Tuesday and Sunday when I killed him.
What I suspect is that his spawn timer is a percentage based and shared with Vyragosa and Dirkee possibly. I also think that TLPD shares respawn timer with those blue proto drakes in the Engines area and they have the highest percentage followed by Vyra/Dirkee and finally TLPD has the least.
Be patient, and Good luck!

I've been camping the TLPD on and off for a few weeks now, using the macro that includes all 3 rares. So far I've seen Dirkee twice and killed it once, seen Vyra once but didn't get the kill. Haven't seen the TLPD at all, not even its corpse. I understand I'm not that lucky to be finding it and I realize I have to be extremely patient in order to ever get this mount but that's not why I'm typing this.
Today at around 13:16 server time I was camping at the frozen lake near Valkyron when I suddenly saw a strange light not too far away from me. Never seen this before and still not sure what it was, at first I thought it may be a time-warp-ish something (time-lost really sticks in your head after a while eh ;)) and kept on spamming my macro excitedly because I was sure the TLPD would pop out any second. After a few seconds I thought I should make a SS of this light (because it could be yet another clue of how this drake works) so I did, and immediately after I ss-ed it, the light collapsed and disappeared into the ground. No TLDP though :(
My bf, who was in Storm Peaks too at that point, flew to the other alleged spawning points but the macro didn't catch any of the rares. Meanwhile I stayed static at the frozen lake for a little over an hour after that light disappeared, nothing there either. I did see the Harpy Witches there sometimes cast a spell on the Hatchlings which kinda look like the light I saw, only 'mine' was bigger and brighter (unfortunately the SS doesn't really show that; when I pressed print screen it was already becoming smaller).
I have NO idea if this could have anything to do with the TLPD spawning or not, but this could be useful in one way or another (or it will just set off yet another theory that has nothing to do with the rares ..)
http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/6330/stormpeakssighting.jpg
If anyone else has seen this light anywhere, and maybe even know what it is (or what causes it) I'd really appreciate the responses.

1 month of searching -> 3 vyras ( no kill ) 2 dirkees (1 kill ) and 1 TLPD (1 kill)
He flies at high altitude so make sure you have the slow fall drinks ( if u are not a mage/priest ) from the orc ( if u are horde ) which sells you the iron boot flask ( you can buy the drinks for 2 ulduar relics ->

Engine of the Makers -> I was under him at 30 yds and when i fell ( didn't have the slow fall things at me ) i took 14k fall dmg ( out of 18 k total health ) .
Good luck finding him...

all i can say is, if you are really dedicated to getting this mount, you better have A LOT of time and patience
for the last week ive been flying around those upper storm peaks paths spaming that macro for at least 6-8 hours a day and up to 10 hours straight a couple days (excluding bathroom breaks)
not once during this last week have i found the body dead or alive, im thinking its time to call it quits... its a great mount and all but i really doubt its worth searching for days for, if you happen to come across it while leveling then congratz on a great mount, but imo dont go searching for it
i really doubt people are killing it while im not there because i would suspect by this point i would have at least seen a dead body, but i havent

so ive been camping 28:65 for the last 5 days for MANY hours each day with very little luck, ive seen varygosa only once (which a hunter ended up tagging) fly by during that time and no sign of TLPD
for the first time today he flew by while i was spamming my macro while looking away from my computer talking to a friend
once i look back i see my macro saw the real deal and i was like "YES YES YES!" so i start flying north to catch up to him, i look down, and hes getting killed by an alliance mage >.< ugggggggggh omg im so &*!@ed at myself, i wish it were at least horde so i could have owned him then ninjaed it, but no, it had to be another alliance
morale of the story, if u really want this mount u need A LOT of patience, oh and btw, DO NOT turn ur attention away from ur computer at any time, it just #$%^es me off so much that i saw him for the first time in 5 days and a mage kills him that i didnt see at all during those 5 days, that was probably the first time he was out there and happened to see him while ive been there for a week

I feel your pain. been camping it for a week now. had my macro going stepped away from the computer to smoke a cig and when i came back scrolled chat log up and damn it was spotted. so i flew around and could never find it. hope no one killed it being as i seen no body.
i need a macro though that works right.
I need something that doesn't play a sound everytime the macro goes only when the target is spotted.
i've seen people say do this
/tar Time
/stopmacro
/tell yourname > %t <
/script PlaySoundFile etc etc.
and all it does it everytime it send a whisper is play sound file..
What I'm looking for again is something that will make a sound " Only " when target has been spotted.

he came flying from valkyrion to bor's breath
did not had any trouble killing him
found a couple of vyragose aswell at bor's
seems its the best place to find him

Finally got it tonight. I've been searching since late november, early december. I first saw him dead Dec 11th, and found him dead again the next day on the 12. Now, March 6th, is the first time I've found him since then. I don't camp out there 24/7, but I'm in the zone quite frequently and have killed Dirkee/Vyragosa dozens of times.
Given where I had been flying previously, he had definitely just spawned at the usual spot southeast of Valkyrion and was about to do his clockwise patrol around the Temple of Storms. When I first saw him, my initial thoughts were, "Ugh, another player on the TLPD." He was a lot smaller that I would have expected, so I didn't think it was the actual mob. But then I realized there was no rider, so I mouse-overed and sure enough, rare elite.
Flew right over without regard to his height, did Heroic Throw, and instinctively popped open by bags and clicked my Snowfall Lager (have been mentally preparing myself to do that for a long time now!) Without the lager, I would've surely died. He was sufficiently high in the air that it would have been impossible to tag him and live otherwise without a slow fall cloak, levitate, mage slow fall, etc.
When I landed, I started spamming gun shoot to make sure I didn't lose the tag. Before he got in range, he did his teleport-stun move that has already been talked about quite a bit. Once in melee combat, he died very fast, even to my lousy prot warrior dps.
I was in the area on purpose. I had been informed via whisper from a fellow tlpd hunter exactly 6 hours earlier that he had found the corpse. I have known TLPD to spawn twice in a day sometimes, so I gave the 6 hour theory a shot, and it paid off. This is not to say that the TLPD will always spawn 6 hours after a previous kill (in fact most of us know that this definitely not true), but it certainly shows that it -can- happen, as it did for me.
Anyway blah blah victory shot:

I was tabbed out watching a youtube vid on the drake's pathing. I was at 29, 66 about 40-50 yards up in the air, I'd guess. I heard noise from in-game and frantically jumped back to WoW. The drake was attacking me!
Dismounted in the air, tagged with a Hand of Reckoning, and glugged a lager to float to the ground. Yea!
Note- I had just finished circling a reverse path of where I thought the drake was and had been in-game at this spot for pretty much all of the day.

4 days I spent farming herbs in this area, flying the projected route of TLPD. On average I'd say I spent about 4 hours twice a day flying in a circle. Last night it finally paid off! I killed TLPD just outside the cave seen in the screen shot. It was at the time flying westward across the field. I simply flew through it pulling aggro by contact, landed, dotted him up. Super easy kill, no fall needed unless you see someone else moving in on it before you tag it.

Just killed him on Dentarg (EU). I was farming on the border between Bors Death and Valkyrion and he was flying about 50 yards above towards Vaklyrion. I just aggroed him and went slow on the ground. After dismounting I flame shocked him and killed him in no time. He had like 18K or something HP.
I am very happy! Time of the kill is 1:39 Eastern European time which is 0:39 CET. He is a screenshot:

He was coming from the frozen waterfall on the way to K3 coming through bors breath towards valk.
Had been searching that area mostly while farmin herbs.
1st time was spotted was around blue drakes. So assuming he is random on the areas he spawns.
LOL. Boss is going to be *!@#ed. He camped for 4 weeks and gave up. :(

Just to add my two cents. I got this sweet mount yesterday after 3 weeks and 6 days of hunting for him. It's not just luck! hard work pays off! Never give up hope and you'll bag yourself a TLPD someday. Secondly I think we need to stop thinking about timers here. After nearly 4 weeks of hunting I found timers to be horrid. For Vyra/TLPD none of them make sense! 6/8/10 hours are all a no go. Always be on guard, you never know when he may slowly glide right below you. Good Luck Hunting :)

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.

Taken on the PTR this morning (March 16, 2009).
I did a /who, there were only 5 people awake and in the zone at the time (myself included). I never saw anyone else while following the mob around.
Storm Peaks used to be packed (over 49 results returned from a /who) at all hours of the day. The PTR is a lot quieter now than it was when it first started up, especially during off-hours.
edit: I wasn't camping the spawn, no. But I was logged in to see if I could catch him, just out of curiosity. Does he follow Vyra's paths, etc. I killed him and looted the mount on my live server a little over a week ago, but didn't really get the chance to study his route... I just assumed it was the CW Temple of Storms route. This video really proves that he does indeed overlap Vyragosa's route(s) exactly.

A extremely helpful video, Thank you!
Although I must say, given the excitement of the upcoming patch ( 3.1 ) and the insane amounts of people on the PTR ( probably the most out of all PTR's imho and myself included ) The sheer number of people inside the storm peaks at any given point ( hell you could probably logon right now and see a ridiculous amount ) is downright insane and im surprised that you were actually able to:
1. Find The Drake: Cause lets not kid ourselfs. Out of the MANY people in the storm peaks right now on the PTR one person or a few is bound to be sitting there camping for the drake......WHY you say? beats the hell out of me but I honestly worry for them (please tell me you found this drake on incident and not by camping)
2. Document The Drakes Path: It's odd cause given the circumstances people are going through to get this drake, It's rather surprising that NOBODY in that entire video at ANY point was seen following it or you around, let alone trying to kill it for themselves.

I've been on PTR 3.1 few seconds ago. I managed t find and kill Vyragosa as no one was looking for it. Sadly, I
DID NOT get the mount
. So its possible Blizzard nerfed the loot chance.

That's 'cos Vyra dont dropps it (at least as far as i know)... you have to kill the TLPD to get the mount.

the best way to get this mount is after reset day you logg in so fast as you can 11:00 then he is re spawned:):)

Time-Lost was killed 5:22pm at the engine of the makers and about 20-30min later i saw Vyragosa's corpse at the bottom of the frozen river east of frost hold.
Hope this information is helpful :)
Edit: why'd someone down rate me? i posed this to see if anyone else has experienced this...
Anyways, it was at Anachronos EU alliance side, a paladin got it.

Finally after a week of atleast 14 hours per day flying i got this bad boy.
I was just about to give up and was idling at bors breath and he flew in to my face. Immediately my pulse skyrockets and fly towards him and fail to tag him at the smaller frozen waterfall, fall to ground and almost die. Got back on my mount and when i catch up to him i saw that HE WAS TAGGED with
http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=62124
. But then he just disengaged from that paladin (guess he died or bubble had something to do with it? Never saw him just the hand of reckoning) and sure enough i went to close by ledge and got him there.
Got the kill around 10:20 am server time at Haomarush-EU
So here is the mandatory killshot of the location and the max range i could see him.

Hey all,
I've started camping for TLPD a few days ago. I noticed something really odd 2 days ago. Vyragosa spawned, unfortunately, I wasn't the one that killed it. I was at the NW end of Bor's Breath and it spawned on the SE end.
Anyways, before I saw the corpse, I was spamming the macro for the server query and the information wasn't there. A few minutes after seeing Vyragosa, I tried it again. The information for the Reins came up. Why is that? It was Vyragosa that spawned and not TLPD...

jaykaylol
Could be possible that TLPD spawned right after Vyragosa was killed, highly unlikely but there have been reports of it.

Since everyone seems to think that the Time-lost drake shares a spawn point with both Dirkee and Vyragosa, then I will give my coords to where i have spotted them both.
I have seen Vyragosa 5 times now, 4 dead and once alive.
She was dead twice at 45, 60
Dead at 45, 58 (which i saw this morning at 10:18 am and it is now 10:47 and her corpse is still there)
Dead and alive at the same spawn point of 28, 52 ( this is where i finally got to kill her)
I have seen Dirkee only once by chance I was farming herbs and so was another player so i took a short cut to get around them and came up the side of the mountain at 68, 47 and saw his big head. I engaged him in combat ( after the fact i noticed a lvl 80 alliance mage that was eating/drinking so i assume that Dirkee had just killed her) and be careful because he punts and punted me off the side of the mountain. I revived myself came back to where he was and the alliance was now fighting him and got killed again pretty fast. So then i started up, he killed me pet and i feigned. Revived my pet and healed myself back up in which this time the alliance tried yet again and failed (3 deaths for him and nearly 2 for myself so far) so here i go for the 3rd time and finally got him! So Dirkee seems to be a bit harder fight then the other rare elites i have tried so just be prepared. Vyragosa is really simple to kill i had no troubles with her.
So i hope this helps a little with your quest for the time-lost drake! I am still searching myself but i only look when i am farming, dont wanna go outta my way for a disappointment. Good luck to all!

After about four weeks of camping, I found and killed the Time-Lost Proto Drake today. I won't go in to the details of spawn locations and paths because a lot of that has been covered already. What I saw wasn't too different, so what I will detail is my means of camping this fella in case anyone is interested:
I took a passive-aggressive approach in camping. I wanted to spend the time looking for it, but not dedicate all my effort in-game to do so, so I could work on other things. Instead of using external software to automate a macro, I experimented trying to find not only a place where I would most likely encounter the TLPD as it was patting, but also the optimal camera angle in that place to maximize the amount of time I could see it on my screen while it was patting to help grab my attention. To facilitate this, during my camping hours I would basically chuck WoW in windowed mode on my second monitor, throwing casual glances over to it as I did other things. In my situation I was at work, but it could work at home if there are other things to keep you occupied (e.g. watching TV).
The spot I picked was the popular place where kills have been recorded: Around 29, 66 in the Frozen Lake area outside Valkyrion (and the
only current mob location
marked on Wowhead too.) From the pathing maps posted previously (
this one
for example), it is suspected that three independent paths take it through this area, so it seemed like the good choice. All that was left was to figure out the best camera angle. The one which would give me the peace-of-mind knowing I would see the mob if it survived on its path through this area.
In the four weeks I camped (about 5-7 hours per weekday), I killed Vyragosa once in the second week, twice in the third, and finally TLPD in the fourth. During this time I indeed observed three paths they were taking (two of the Vyragosa spawns flew the same path), and was able to perfect my camera angle. A picture is worth one thousand words, so this may help:
http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll96/MooMan65/TLPDVyraCamp.jpg
Forgive the cluttered UI and simple 2D path illustrations, but it should be clear enough to show the exact way I looked and roughly where you'll see them on your screen if they follow that path. "Flying High" means I needed to use a slowfall ability to survive after tagging, and "Flying Low" means I could've tagged it taking little or no falling damage (although I still used one, because as I was flying down from my perch I was usually quite high above the mob myself). With each kill I refined my angle, and this was the end result.
I hope people find this option useful. It may not net you the most optimal results in terms of stumbling across it, but it certainly takes a lot of the pressure off your shoulders camping while relaxing doing other things; safe in the knowledge that you will see them if they do come past. There's big advantages to doing this early-morning server-time since your focus isn't 100% on the screen. All my kills were my own and prior to 11am server time.
Good luck!

I had just finished a naxxramas run and my guildies had told me about the TLPD. So I was curious and flew over there for a quick look. I obviously didn't expect to find anything, but when I was flying around
30,66
I happened to see Vyragosa flying ahead of me. Now I don't know if thats where she spawns or it was just me loading that area that made it look like she just spawned. She was flying from up on the hill downwards past valkyrion.
Me being a rogue made it hard for me to tag it because I did not come prepared with snowfall lager. So I decided to follow it since I heard it shares a flight path with the TLPD. just when Vyragosa was past valkyrion some idiot DK decided to death grip it and kill it. I questioned him as to why he didnt watch where it flies and he just said "oh, I thought this was the TLPD".
So as to the flight path I can confirm that it does fly in that direction along that route.

Hey guys, I am an 80 fury warrior who found this mount today. I found it in the mountains above Brunnhildar Village. It was in a nest above the "H" of Brunnhildar Village. I have seen it there about five times now. I think it chills there after its done patrolling. I have not seen it ever despawn, so I do not think that is true. I hope this helps.

Just killed the Time-Lost Proto Drake on EU Anachronos server about 20 minutes ago.
I thought I'd say how this happened, 'cause I haven't seen it mentioned here before.
I was passing Brunnhildar village and suddenly saw a "Storm Wyrm" coming from the big mountain.
Not a "Stormpeak Wyrm" but a blue drake called "Storm Wyrm". He flew in a straight line towards the
area where the other wyrms and rhinos are.
Of course I got curious and followed it. Much to my surprised it then turned into the Time-Lost Proto-Drake.
Here's an explanation of how the Storm Wyrm flew, before it turned into the Drake:

hey bro ... its a bit hard to believe in that fact specially when every single website/addon doesnt show any informations about a mob called Storm Wyrm ... the only reasonable thing that i give to you is that, maybe that drake is super hard to be detected among aaaall those drakes that are equally with the same look ... so yeah, maybe no one detects ... but the place where you posted that this storm wyrm turns into a time lost proto drake is really near to what everyone is saying about the spawn point in the south east of engine ...
so yeah ... it doesnt hurt adding a /tar Storm Wyrm line to your macro ... who knows?
thx for the info bro ...
评论来自
Miramis
To clarify then, Im sorry to have caused any confusion, it came flying over the Brunnhildar village in high speed, and
aimed for the area where the ordinary Stormpeak Wyrms and Rhinos are. As soon as it reached that area, it "respawned"
as the time-lost proto-drake. So it doesn't fly around there :)
Ofc I can understand it's not easy to believe, I do not blame you. Just would have been nicer with doubt than just calling
it a fake ;)
Good luck everyone!

It's very possible that what you saw was a Player flying a Blue Proto-drake for a quest that takes them over that very path, and you saw the TLPD after following them. That's my best-fit guess, at any rate, because I highly doubt a "Storm Wrym" spawns, then transforms into the TLPD every time.

Hey all,
Stormrage server, just killed Vyragosa at Bor's Breath. She was really high off the ground at around the level of Frosthold's top part. Had to kill her on a ledge right up against the mountain. Dropped the usual stuff I think.. and the bag had 20x Frostweave Cloth and 3x Crystalized Fire.
First kill for me. I hope the next would be TLPD.

Failed to kill it one two occasions now. Yesterday i missed the spawn by 20sec only to see my macro hit and a druid hoovering above the corpse with the mount :'(
Came back to check after 6hours and 8 hours and no spawn, so the 6-8hour spawn time is NOT correct.
P.S. I checked all spawnpoints and no tlpd or vyragosa

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 ...
评论来自
woodenstars
nothing strange there. script gives you information if someone, who have this item in bank or inventory, come online. sorry, worst english -_-
评论来自
relias
yeah that makes super sense ... dont even need to explain anything about my theory ...
but serious ... you said that the possible scenario would be if a person has the item in the inventory just after a server reset ... but man ... i stayed hitting my macro from tuesday to sunday and only on sunday the macro showed me the informations about the mount ... and i searched the corpse with my friends and didnt find anything ... searched everywhere and asked for everyone ... so i ask: how can the macro show me the information only on Sunday if the proto drake wasnt even killed? and according to what you said "The scenario where the glaive ISN'T in the cache is if nobody with the item has logged in after server reset.", i checked exactly when the server came up and logged super fast just to hit my macro ... and it showed me the information about the warglaive, sulfuras, thoridal... is it possible that in this 1st second all the guys with warglaive, sulfuras and thoridal logged at the same time? let me explain a bit about what i was thinking:
when the macro shows the information, it means that the server at some point had to use the item for something. That means, when a server comes up after a reset, all the instances must be prepared, so obviously, the items dropped by the bosses inside these instances. This means that after a server reset, when the servers comes up, he has do some sort of "preparation" for all the items that are possibly gonna be looted. Anyways, what happens with the time lost proto drake item is that the server will only "use" it when the server receives some sort of stimulation. This stimulation is from what we all know a chance on every vyragosa kill. So what im trying to say is that, maybe this point that the information starts showing isnt actually the point that the item was looted, but the point that the server started to "use" the item for something. This means that this point would actually show the start of the 1st timer for the spawn of the time lost proto drake, since this mob holds the item that we are talking about. So yeah... its more like, the item stays in the database until the server receives a stimulation (vyragosa kill). When this stimulation succeds (vyragosa kill hit a chance for tlpd spawn), the item "gets out" from the database and starts to be using by the server, or in other words, enter in the server cache.
This thing that i just that i kinda cool to think of, cause it explains really well what happened to me. What do u think?

I was searching for the TLPD on Ghostlands server and spotted him at 3pm server time. I flew up to tag him and a Orc Warrior snagged him right before i could get to him. I stayed by the body untill it despawned then after it was gone, continued to farm herbs. Aprox. 5:15pm server time the same day (2ish hrs later) the TLPD spawned again..
just makes me wonder what kind of timer this drake has going on..i see him or his dead body almost every day..but other ppl say he spawns once a week. Just throwing this tid bit of info out there for any TLPD Seekers..hes out there..jus keep searching!
评论来自
relias
i dont really wanna risk an exact percentage for the spawns of the time lost proto drake during a week ... what i believe its 100% true is that he is definitely a chance of spawning after vyragosa kill. So when you kill vyragosa and the chance to spawn succeeds, then from that point the timer starts. This timer is a random value between 2 numbers ... this is what we should worry about, not how often the drake would spawn... Some people say its 1/16 for each vyragosa kill, others say its 1/10 ... But, again, what we need to be sure is that the drake is a CHANCE of spawning after each vyragosa kill. This explains the "timers" of more than 1,2,3 days or even a week. It's not actually the timer that has 1,2,.. N days, but the exact point that the chance of spawning succeeds.
Putting my previous theory into this, here is an easy way to get the drake:
1 - Watch out for the macro every 10-15 minutes.
2 - When it shows the information, that means after between X-Y hours the drake will spawn.
3 - And when it spawns, you must have another question: where will he spawn?
3.1 - I assume there's some sort of connection among the place/spawn point where you killed vyragosa(the kill that succeeded the chance) with the place/spawn point that the tlpd will spawn.
Note: for X-Y, we have all types of speculations ... but if we consider the proto drake spawn like the other rares, then it would be something between 6-12 i think...
So, here is one example:
At 6:00am my macro doesnt show anything. At 6:01, vyragosa spawns in front of me and i kill her. I check the macro again and there shows the information of the time lost proto drake. That means that after 6-12 hours the time lost proto drake will spawn. Where? Already said above: I think it would spawn at the spawn point that you killed vyragosa(ONLY IF THE CHANCE PROCS). So, I would camp the spawn point that i found vyragosa between 12pm and 18pm in order to see if the drake will spawn. I think that the /roll between 6-12 regulates only the hours, not the minutes. So maybe if you check at 12,13,14,...18pm EXACTLY, your chances might be higher. Also, i dont know if the timer starts after the corpse despawn. I think not, but it wont hurt checking every 30 minutes from the time that you killed. That means you would check every 12:30,13:30,....17:30. But i recommend staying in that spawn point during that time and go take a nap. You might wake up with a tlpd in front of you.
From these things that i said, check out what we can conclude and what we cant:
A) If the TLPD spawns, but not at the spawn point that you killed vyragosa(repeating: the kill that procs the chance), then that means he can spawn anywhere between his 3-4 spawn points.
B) If the TLPD doesnt spawn in this interval:
B.1) The interval is smaller/bigger.
B.2) My theory for the macro is completely wrong.
Well, I just tell you guys one thing: It's hard to stay in one place waiting for the luck of Blizzard without some sort of explication to stay there. You just stay there, cause you stay, you want the drake and nothing else. But what about adding to this staying some logical reasons, like what I said above? In my opinion, it's better to have something to believe in, then to not have any reason to stay at that place.
Anyways, im trying this that i said this week. The most difficult thing will be finding the exact point that the item starts showing the information. If everything that i said is right, ahahah, i think im gonna help everyone with instructions to find this drake. Well lets see first ...

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 ...

As I promissed:
Date: 04/01/09
Time: 3:22am ST
Previous Vyragosa kill: 3:22am ST on 03/31
Place where I killed it: 29.67
Where I was camping: 28.65
Path that the TLPD was doing: Going around Frosthold counter-clock wise
Path that the previous Vyragosa was doing: Going around Frosthold counter-clock wise
Possible location of spawn point: 37.77 or 31.66
Observations about the kill:
I was super lucky. A horde was coming with a 60% mount and right behind it, the TLPD was coming. He turned around and saw it but he also saw me passing super fast by him in order to kill the drake. When he saw myself mounted on it, I think he didn't believe in what he had lost. The TLPD was coming not so high since he came below me. He was coming from the east and NO, I didn't see it spawning if it actually did.
Since I got my drake, I'm gonna share some things that I know from him. You guys probably know the 4 paths that he can path by so I'm just gonna say where are their spawn points:
1 - 45.60 or 51.68 - 51.68 is vyragosa's spawn point but the comments are that the proto drake spawns in the middle of the blue drakes. This is the Brunnildar path.
2 - 31.66 - Also, if my previous vyragosa kill is connected to this spawn, then I think I should have killed the TLPD more or less at 3:25 and not exactly at the same time I killed vyragosa. So yeah, that makes 31.66 a nice point to think as a spawn point. This is the Frosthold path.
3 - 31.70 - Also a Vyragosa's spawn point. Saw comments of drake killers that he "was passing above my head going north to Valkyrion, the same way vyragosa does". - This is the Grom'arsh Crash Site path
4 - 37.77 or 34.71 - This is the Ulduar path - Yes, It is, it goes north from there.
My experiences with it:
A lot of vyragosa kills. Dirkee once and saw another time dead.
How much time spent:
1 month and a half
The worst thing that happenned:
On my 1st day of farming this drake, I found him twice. One time dead, another time alive. This time that I saw him alive, I saw it doing the Ulduar Path, passing near 37.66. I was sleeping when my macro hit gold. Then I flew to it super fast and tagged in the air. I was using the touchpad so i wasnt able to click over iceblock/slow fall fast. I died, released, got my corpse and he got tagged by a horde. That moment i thought that i would see if again easily. And no, it wasnt easy, since it just came again after 1month and a half.

Best places to camp the drake/vyragosa: 28.64 and 40.60
28.64 is better than 40.60, cause the spawn points are closer and it takes less time for the TLPD to reach you.
Advices: don't make the name of the proto-drake something real. Don't lose your time searching around. Just camp it and have patience. Let your macro running and gg.
Connection with Dirkee: NO NO NO AND NO AGAIN SO STOP SAYING IT HAS
Connection with Vyragosa: YES. The drake is some sort of "drop" from every vyragosa's kill. Every time you kill her, there is a chance that the TLPD will spawn.
Timers: Good question. With me, if you assume that my vyragosa kill proced the tlpd spawn, then it was 23 hours. But if you think that between that time vyragosa was killed again by someone that was camping her spawn point, then I suggest something between 6-12 hours.
Chance of the TLPD spawn after a vyragosa kill: I wanna discover that yet. Some people say it's 1/16, others 1/10. But let's do a simple math. Taking my last week as an example: suppose we have 21 vyragosa's spawns and just 1-2 TLPD spawned. Then it would be something between 1-10%. I'm estimating, but we need MANY MORE examples of weeks.
GM's information analyze: what GMs confirmed until now is:
a) TLPD has 3 spawn LOCATIONS. Location corresponds an area and NOT A POINT. So yeah, Bor's breath is one of these LOCATIONS and there you can have 2 spawn POINTS closer.
b) Shares timer with Vyragosa.
c) His timer is a random value between 2 numbers
d) Despawns after a period if not attacked
e) Spawn timer can exceed 8 hours.
Next objective:
1 - Discover exactly how the following script works:
/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");
2 - Discover the chance of TLPD after every vyragosa's kill
3 - Discover exactly what are the 2 values that control the timer of these 2 mobs. It's between 2 numbers for sure. But we need to discover that.
I could say: %^&* IT. I GOT MY DRAKE AND YOU GUYS GO @#$% YOURSELVES.
But NO. I know what is staying in that place waiting, and waiting, and waiting and your days passing and your hope going away. I don't want to see more people passing by what I passed so I will do my best in order to help you guys. I will try to create a website with a system to integrate all the TLPD informations and to try to discover Blizzard's algorithm for this drake. Just doing this we can reduce the painfull work of staying in that place all the time.
Let's realize one thing: we are talking about one unique mob. This mob is complex and it has a complex algorithm. And it's just ONE mob among the thousands others that Blizzard controls. That's why you probably play this game.
Well guys, that's all I can say for now. Good luck for you all and these are my hints on trying to get the Time Lost Proto Drake. Wish this information would be posted on the 1st page of comments, cause yes, everything that I said about this drake is super important and helpful.

Just killed it flying north from Frosthold. He spawned right on top of the frozen lake pretty much. I had seen Vyragosa here and killed him 3 times, but hadn't killed Vyragosa in about a week. I had seen proto-drake dead in mountains by Engine of Makers a day before so I was pretty miffed.
I camped proto-drake on and off for about a month. Took to just sitting on my mount above the frozen lake. Time wise, I think sitting there AFK and running macro is probably most effective.
Very easy fight. Probably didnt even need to slowfall based on how high above the ground he was. Just fireblasted him to aggro then slow falled down the 20 feet or so.

Killed TLPD today, after only 2 days of hunting. I aknowledge that I was extremely lucky, and had expected to spend days camping for him after reading through various forums.
I witnessed him spawn directly over the Fang Pit and start patting north towards the fields of Stormspeak Drakes. This particular patrol is the one that passes through Engine of the Makers, Bor's Breath, and finally K3 in a counter-clockwise direction. I know that not because I followed him, because really, I was frantic to bag him and immediately fumbled across my hotkeys in an crazy panic. However I've spotted Vyragosa spawn in the same loc and take the same patrol route.
It's not really news anymore that they share paths, and for this reason I can only conclude that they also share a spawn timer. I became familiar with this concept while hunting for Loque'nahak, that of
rare spawns of rare spawns
, and I'm sure Blizzard have employed this concept elsewhere in the World.
To put it simply, if you see Vyragosa dead, go have a sandwich and take a walk, for your sanitys sake.
My killshot.
The three of us came crashing and scrabbling down in the Fang Pit, much to the confusion and surprise of the players doing their dailies. :)

Created an account to I can share my experience.
I just killed TLPD on azuremyst at 4:15am. I was on a flight path from dalaran to storm peaks, when i noticed tlpd flying around unclaimed. He was flying out of bor's breath, toward K3. He moves at normal (non-epic) flight speed, so very slow. His height was the exact top of the canyon walls in bor's breath(meaning, even with the top of the canyon wall to the left that opens to the engine of the makers), if that gives you an idea of how high he was. By the time i had landed and caught up to him, he had come out of K3 and turned left into brunhildar village at the same exact height. I was able to aggro him mid-air and pull him to the nearby mountain. Here's a link to my kill for confirmation:
http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc38/guitar3544/WoWScrnShot_040209_041654.jpg
A word of warning: He has a move called "time-slip" that makes you stop attacking, and seemingly wipes hate. I checked my log and as soon as he used that he started attacking my ghoul, so my hate was erased. If he get's this off before you can tag him you run the chance of losing claim, so be quick about tagging. Best of luck to you all; this is truly a rare drake.
Edit: as shown on the ss, i killed him at 51/69. you can look at my minimap to see the exact spot i downed him at. I was over the top of the corpse when i took that screenshot.

I noticed something today while camping the TLPD. About 20 mins after Vyragosa was spotted (I missed her because I fell asleep) I saw this blue swirly energy vortex down in Bor's Breath at coordinates 34, 66. I went down to it and after a min it disappeared. I don't know if that means anything or not, but it may mean a potential spawn of the TLPD.

Just downed Vyragosa @ 44.9,59.1 6:55am EST. The dragon was flying towards Engine of the makers and
coming from
the direction of Brunnhildar village. So, she was flying North West.

I got my yestarday at 10.30 am. Three days before I killed Dirke at 6 am, 15 min later Valygosa, around 5 min later spotted TLPD but horde was faster and like allways 4 of them so I was preety ded and DK got him. So all of them dont share any spawn cd, each from this elites have own separate spawn time.

Alright, after 20 days of camping and alot of research I got my Time Lost april 5th.
I used this macro bound to my Z key for easy patroling but i stayed in one spot most of the time.
/cleartarget
/tar Time
/tar Dirkee
/tar Vyra
/stopmacro ,
/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\Ragnaros\\RagnarosSlay01.wav")
No need for screenies of my info but I will show my kill screenie.
The kill:
http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/6497/tlpdkillshot.jpg
The Ride:
http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/3317/myridei.jpg
So, I have some health issues and am not able to work at present therefore I have alot of time on my hands, decided to camp TLPD seriously. I put on my seasons 1-3 of Battlestar Galactica with WoW on my top window and just watched TV while spamming Z every few seconds. and not all the time i should say...
Started on March 17th ended this morning April 5th, 20 days of about 8-10 hours a day sitting in two spots, mostly late at night, early in the morning.
At first I camped the engine of the makers at 40, 56 as i felt from all the posts that this was the best spot to catch him, Dirkee and Vyra patrolling the 3 routes. Here is my kill list from that place:
Vyra 4:45am Mar 17th
- Engine of the Makers (patrolling south from over the crash site)
Vyra 6:29am Mar 18th
- Engine of the Makers (patrolling south from the Terrace of the Makers)
TLPD body 5:44am Mar 2
1 ( was so *!@#ed I almost gave up) - Body at the crash site
Dirkee 3:00am Mar 22nd
- Engine of the Makers (just north)
From this point on the server query macro was empty, not bringing up a link, I therefore assumed that the server reset on the 24th cleared the cache.
I then decided to move to Bors fall around the Frozen lake as I figured the TLPD had patrolled North from Frosthold up past the crash site where it was killed. And because I was camping over top of the engine of the makers, I wasn't going to miss the next one.
Vyra 9:52am Mar 26th
(patrolling south from Valkyrion)
Vyra 9:18am Mar 27th
(patrolling north from the frozen waterfall right at the Temple of Storms)
Vyra 1:07am Mar 28th
(found at the small junctions north of Valkyrion)
Vyra 11:12am Mar 29th
(found in the ravine at the Temple of storms with the tagger boasting!)
Vyra 5:09am Mar 31st
(Missed it by minutes as I camped over the engine of the makers again that night, macro went crazy turned and saw him coming down from the Terrace of the Makers a Alliance DK killed him quicker than me.)
I missed a day here and was told by someone I trust that they saw a horde player kill the TLPD this day in the afternoon. However, the server query macro was not sending information back. I assumed that if a player of a different faction looted a mob, the server would not cache the item for a opposing faction.
Dirkee 3:55am Apr 02
Vyra 7:37am Apr 02
(macro went off and spawned right in front of me while I was facing south towards Frosthold, he began patrolling southwest at a very high altitude around Frosthold mountain, I was tired and died 2 times trying to kill him. I finally did when he was over the top of the frozen waterfall between K3 and Bors Breath)
Vyra 6:38am Apr 3nd
(At the frozen lake patrolling south)
Vyra 9:18am Apr 4th
(over the frozen lake patrolling south)
Dirkee 9:39am Apr 4th
(normal spot - both these kills I gave to guildies also)
Still no server query...
Then I get him:
TLPD 8:42am Apr 5th
(spawned right in front of me at the frozen lake, i watched him come forward then he turned to go southwest, tagged him and the fight began)
The server query macro did bring up a link once I looted the mount and therefore I assumed that there is no cross faction sharing of info, just like we cannot see the faction trade of an opposing faction while in there city.
I cant say for certain there is a spawn timer, nor can I say that there was a method to my farming the mount, yet perseverance pays off. I did camp at night, and during the day, but as you can see, most of the kills were late night / early morning. I found after the first 4 kills i made or rares in Storm peaks that i spent most of my time camping at the same hours intervals, 3am-9am in the morning. There could be a rough 24 hour spawn timer for each server depending on when the last rare is killed on that specific server, test this yourself.
In my humble opinion there is a roughly 18-24 hour spawn timer for Vyra, yet the confirmed "2 numeric variables" could allow for a 1 hour - 24 hour spawn timer also. :lol: TLPD is a "Sly one", a GM told me, so get used to missing him.. :)
My suggestion don't bother trying to find it unless your super serious about camping it and have a lot of time on your hands. Otherwise do dailies and farm herbs, eternals or ore. You'll get one sonner of later.

Just dropped for me 20mins ago on Kel'thuzad Server. All I was doing was passing through near Engine of the Makers @ 37,65 doing dailies and I happened to spam my macro and I got a hit. Tag'd him from 50 yards up and killed him. Best advice to people who are thinking of "hunting" him, dont waste your time. I have taken the same path for 2 weeks though Storm Peaks while doing dailies, I never once went out of my way to look for this Drake.
Best of Luck and Cheers!

I just got mine today at
30,65
as stated it crosses the most pats and you can watch/spam/auto click your macro to target the drake. Only took me 30 hours to get the spawn and patrol to me.
Epic find, an addon that conforms to Blizzard EULA and ToS.
http://sites.google.com/site/wowsaiket/Add-Ons/NPCScan
NPCScan tracks seldom-seen rare mobs by proximity alone, making the old “/targetexact …” macros obsolete. It has the same range as those targeting macros, but you won't have to mash any buttons. Just go about your business and let _NPCScan alert you when it finds something.

Here's my little TLPD story...
When I first heard about this mount, I had hoped that one day I could have one. However, I really didn't want to camp it and compete with other campers for hours. So, I pretty much gave up on my dream of riding this drake.
I woke up early yesterday morning to do a bit of herbing in storm peaks on my druid, hoping to get a few stacks to level up my Death Knight's inscription. I did a few rounds, and as I was flying past the Engine of the Makers a third time, there on my screen was the TLPD. My heart practically jumped into my throat, and as I targeted it, my computer froze. After staring at my screen in disbelief for a minute, I rebooted, trying to stay calm. I decided that if he was still up, my Death Knight should have it, so I logged on as quickly as I could.
Taking the flight path up to Storm Peaks, I happened to go by the drake. Overjoyed, I landed at the crash site and proceeded to the Engine on my 60% flying speed mount. He was gone. I saw a human death knight on the ground killing mammoths. I thought my chance was gone, but didn't want to give up so easily. I waited patiently, and sure enough he flew back around. I just aggroed him in the air and flew to the ground, killed him quickly.
Here are the specific details:
Server: Laughing Skull
Time: 6:30am server time
The flight path he was taking was the red one on this map:

(I can't even ride it yet)
Edit: Farmed up the gold for flying over the next day.

First off Let me apologize for lack of times with these kills. I foolishly didnt expect this hunt to be so long/hard and felt my info would be useless to future farmers. Little did I know, there really is a huge lack of concrete information of the tlpd....so I feel any info is good at this point.
I came back from a break of wow to be intrigued immediately like many by this mount. Seen him in town and instantly wanted him. I did the usual mad scientist research and gathered everything I could regarding this mount. I think to myself, "Pfft, all these lazy "tlpd hunters" prolly give up early and shame the true farmer of a rare they want".
Golly! The name suits the rare perfectly. Ive got the macros (yes quite a few), the time to farm, and Im very lucky when it comes to low drop rates/rares in the past. Im rdy to go!
Well, my first day I spent 15straight hrs flying in circles all around storm peaks spamming my macro. Only one Vyra siting, dead body in fact. Get some sleep and get back to it when I get up. (33, 65) cords of dead body.
Day2 went farming for around 8 hrs flying around the suspected paths, only to find myself loggin in disappointment. As the countdown began til logout I continued spamming my macro...sure enough my first minor heart attack with only 6 seconds left till exit I tag a rare dragon! I quickly hit cancel and start freaking out. Oh course Im so excited to see what I tagged I didnt bother to check my whisper to myself via macro...It was only Vyra! (28, 50) cords of death. She was traveling from snowdrift plains from what I gather.
Day3 another 8 hrs or so of flying around (farming herbs sounds more truthful than hunting this mount lol, wish that was the case) another vyra siting and kill. (28,43) cords of death...apparently same pat route as last vyra kill, coming south from snowdrift plains.
Day4 around 4 hours of flying, Vyra dead body found @ (28, 65). I was burnt out and call it quits early at that point.
Day5 was my most promising experience, killed Vyra in my normal break spot (also very close to my other kills) (27, 64) kill cords. I took a break and ran 2 instances under the assumption a rare wouldnt be popping up soon. Returned to flying my routes, spamming macros having a good feeling, also not many if any at all seemed to be hunting in the early morning hours. SADLY I was on my more eastern loop of the paths, as Im flying through the lil canyon/my break spot (~27,64) my macro hits! No mistake this time, my whisper says its him! I continued foward while having my usual mini heart attack when my macro tags something....There he is! oh joy! oh wait its a dead body...WTF! I wasnt gone more than 3 minutes! (30,49) dead body of tlpd @ 4:27am server time!
I figured Id be happy to see a dead body of him to at least confirm this isnt a myth and Im not chasing an invisible dragon. It wasnt happiness I experienced upon site of his dead body lol.
After my first week of searching I hit a wall...Alot of my farming times were cut down, and have only gone searching for continuous farming for over 10 hours twice since my first week. Dirkee was killed by me at (40, 43) amongst my search, cant recall which day it was for his kill was almost worth just leaving be (he's not soloable by a mage hehe, but had a guildy doing dailys in SP at the time whom lent a hand)
Bottom line of my story is I pity the many I see doing standstill searches for this rare. As many people after these guys the thing is gonna have to spawn on your motionless head, because chances are (my server at least) the rares arent gonna make a full circle pat before being downed. I thankfully am a herber and can look at my wealth so this hunt wasnt/isnt a total loss (was making well over 1k a hunt for this guy). Truely make an easy 200g+ per hour while looking, but would gladly give a stranger 10k at this point to pass the next tlpd kill to me lol. I guess I can say Ive seen an abundance of rares for the short time Ive spent compared to most, but I just cant stumble across the right one ><
From what I gathered, there is no set timer on storm peak rares. Ive spent 15 hrs on 2 different days searching and nothing was conclusive. Im not saying I was there for every second to confirm all deaths, but I definately was covering ALOT of ground for a long period of time to miss somethign while I was there. In my first two weeks I can confirm 1 dirkee death, 1 tlpd death, and close to 10 vyra kills....Did I miss a spawn or two? Im sure I did...but regardless to say, the tlpd is RARE! Good luck to all those farming him, congrats to those lucky enough to have him downed alrdy and wish me luck as I continue my search! Ive only given up once before on a farm (3 weeks of sfk for shadowfang), Im not about to give up on my second!
I will be sure to update this comment with anymore information I might be able to bring to the table.

Got mine yesterday, after about five weeks of rather active (5h+ daily) camping, some random flying about in Storm Peaks before that. He was flying from Valkyrion towards Snowdrift Plains, I'm assuming he spawned at the frozen lake. Anyway, I've been keeping a kind of diary of my Vyragosa kills, and body sightings of Vyragosa and the TLPD. Perhaps you can make something of it, it pretty much matches known spawn timers and routes. But hey, everyone loves statistics. Here goes:

I also made a map of these kills and sightings.
Here's the rather boring looking killshot:
http://xs.to/xs.php?h=xs538&d=09155&f=tlpdkill165.jpg
It was a wonderful, adrenaline filled feeling to actually get the mount after so many hours spent, and I don't really have regrets. I watched some movies and TV series while camping so it didn't really get boring at any point, especially since I set up my G15 keyboard to repeat the target + raid warning macro listed here. This comment section was of tremendous help in general, thanks to everyone who posted something useful and good luck to all the TLPD hunters out there.

time

the name of this drake actually comes from the original Blizzard game series 'Lost Vikings.' The sequel to the game featured a dragon named Scorch, who was rescued by Olaf and vouched to assist the 3 vikings whilst being lost in time.
You can see reference to the 3 'lost vikings,' in Ulduman by the chest where you pick up the Medalion naer the start/ entrance.
Although you do waste a lot of time if you are camping this rare mob, it's not 100% the reason for the name.

edit;
a week after posting this i killed my TLPD while handing in the Frostborn daily, after a total of 2 months farming. He was flying due South from The Snowdrift Plains, and I flew up and tagged him over Valkyrion. He was flying about 100 yards up, so definitely grab a
Snowfall Lager
, or be prepared to Levitate, Slowfall etc. Worth the wait, and the hate mail I got the next day was hilarious.
Good luck to all!

The reports about spawn points: I'm fairly sure 99% of the time people don't see an actual spawn but the game rendering range picking up on a mob.
As someone who admits the mob is at "mythical" status for yourself, I would advise against discounting the testimony of players who have actually seen and killed it. You may come across as hypocritical.
While many of your points are valid, this one definately is not. Both visually and upon my tracking I have witnessed the TLPD materialise above the fang pit, and hover idly for a moment before starting his patrol, as do all freshly spawned mobs.
Unless I pumped a k into my graphics card only for it to render mobs within twenty yards? Unlikely.

Seen Vyragosa spawn(and killed her shortly after) at 36.8, 72.2 in The Storm Peaks. Traveling North through Bor's Breath. At 16:02PST on Frostmane US.
If she does share a spawn with TLPD then he could spawn in the same area.

This week will be the second farming session I've done on the Time Lost Proto Drake.
I have killed Vyragosa 41 times. (That's not an exaggeration) The majority of them were above the frozen lake in Bor's Breath, but there were several which were near the Engine of the Makers and east of there.
According to the loot cache queries I have done, the TLPD has not been looted since the server maintenance last Tuesday (and it is now the Monday after).
I have been online literally 24 hours a day parked over the frozen lake at Bor's Breath and have been doing server queries regularly, so I'm positive I haven't missed a "rolling restart" or "hot fix patch" (though there have been some, I have been back online immediately after they were finished and the server loot cache queries still only say "Retrieving Information")
Anyways, the point is-
It's been close to 168 hours since he has been looted (a week). This guy is a lot rarer than people give him credit for.
In all my farming sessions (about 300+ hours in total) I have only seen the corpse once, when I stepped AFK for 10 minutes to cook some food.
If you plan on camping this guy, expect it to take a very, very, very long time.

I officially give up on this drake. I wrote a little poem about it as a tribute...
TLPD, can't you see?
How you've made a fool of me?
From Ulduar to old K3,
at one-hundred feet to thirty-three.
In endless circles I fly again,
(Counter clockwise, for the win).
My macro spams, my temper flares
You are, indeed, the rare of rares
Now, Vyragosa? What a bore.
I've seen her 4 times (Maybe more)
I need your Reins to feel complete,
As the prototype for my Proto-fleet.
So tonight I'll take my final flight,
With ghetto-drake into the night.
For I am not one who's about to beg,
(Please hand me one-more Uncracked Egg)

I've been camping Engine of the Makers for a few weeks now for TLPD but have only vyra-three times. Twice she came directly overhead of the engine and continued west through bor's breath the headed north through valkyrion, which is where i killed her twice. The third time she came from the south and headed brunnhildar village where an allience shammy took her down.
After that third kill, i left thinking that i would come back 6 hours later, which i did. My kill macro (tells if someone has killed it since last realm restart) still had nothing when i came back to engine of the makers. So i camped there for about 15 mins, but nothing was hitting, so i hit my kill macro again and it lit up. I asked general if anyone had seen the TLPD or killed it but i got no response so i thought a horde got it (im a human pally).
Im in a lower pop realm (Jaedenar), well we were recommended so we are at medium with a lot of lowbies, and i have only seen 2 people on TLPD, both horde.
Well, the hunt continues, ive spent too much time sitting around for TLPD to give up now. Good luck to everyone looking for him and ill be sure to post when i get mine :).
P.S.- any1 kno if a pally bubble will be able to pull vyra or TLPD down to the ground? ive been meaning to try it for a while, just havent been able to find either of them lately :(

I have some interesting information.
After 3 servers restarts I constantly used this script “/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");” and when it showed the information I checked out all routes and found no TLPD/its corpse. Once, when I killed Vyragosa, script showed nothing but exactly after its corpse disappeared it showed retrieving information. I cheked all possible routes once more and again found no TLPD/its corpse.

FINALLY, I have found the TLPD and obtained the mount.
I can confirm 100% that the spawn location was one shared with Vyragosa. I was parked above Bor's Breath and saw the drake enter my view from the middle of the mountain to the southeast-
Just so we're clear, his back was to the mountain and he was only inches from it. Drakes cannot fly through mountains, so this was _definitely_ his spawn location.
This is a confirmed spawn location of Vyra (per my own eyes) and now the TLPD too.
Let me just say that again,
THIS SPAWN LOCATION (SouthEast MOUNTAINSIDE IN BOR'S BREATH) 100% CONFIRMED TPLD SPAWN LOCATION and SHARED WITH ONE OF VYRAGOSAS SPAWN LOCATIONS.
So there is a definite link between them.
Here are the kill shots-
http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/8453/wowscrnshot042309143238.jpg
As you can see, it took me less than 10 seconds to get to the drake and bring it down from it's spawn location. (In fact, I had it dead before it even landed)
This is the location where it spawned...
http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/3853/wowscrnshot042309143320.jpg
Just as Vyragosa spawns here, so too does the TLPD.
It took me approximately 21 days of 24/hr round-the-clock camping to get him.

PendrakeEredar has posted a very notable video following the TLPD on the PTR to 3.1.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRbOssnGZ9s&feature=related
Near to the end of the video, he looses the drake, maybe due to phasing etc, not too sure.
Very very good video though, I recommend anyone looking for the TLPD to watch this.

Got mine today at 3:15AM PST at 45.82.
Was just doing my Argent Tournament dailies and hitting up Storm Peaks while there mashing my macro and he popped up. Was searching periodically for about 4 days while in the area.
I put a black dot on the mini-map of where I kited him to since it was hard to see my arrow in the screenshot. Good luck getting yours.

i been farming this mount for about 3 weeks now. but somthing odd i just dont understand when it comes to the cache macro to check if the reigns are in the server catche. now seing i only been farming for now starting my 3rd week from wednesday. almost within a max of 2 days the reigns are in the server cache every week 3 weeks running. im on almost 20 hours a day and i check the cache every 15-20min or so and then it just randomly shows up 3rd week in a row? that cant be right can it unless this server is very lucky. i dont think so though. So my question is , are we 100% sure that the cache macro tells you that the reigns have been looted recently? or is there some lvl 77-80 flying around with the reigns in his bags waiting to get money to lern cold weather flying that logs on every week and adds it to the cache?
btw everytime the reigns apears in the cache i go fly around prity much the whole of SP and dont find any corpse. I see the same people camping the drake as me as well not riding the drake or seing any corpse.
so whats going on here? i cant see how it can spawn evey week and be looted without any TlPD farmer seing or getting it 3 weeks running

Notice the difference with

Very fast = 280%
Extremely fast = 310%

Well i finally got my TLPD after 1 week 3 days. much shorter than i thought it would be.
IT spawnd at 29, 67 right on the snowy mountin, just where the poster said on the last page.
I was spamming my macro while watching a film , had a wav file in my macro that started spamming me and at first i thought meh its just the other dragon again ( killed him like twice that day already) i looked at my screen saw him taking off from the mountin side and i couldnt berlive it. My eyes just went blury and i started panicing like crazy. I flew up to him and tagged him but he resisited and i couldnt berlive it, i was freaking out so much i forgot to use my slowfall ber and had to bubble. Then i mounted up again flew over here was now at 27, 60 flying north. I tagged him again this time properly and again forgot to use my beer forgot i used my bubble and fell to my death lol
Lucky the gy was right there and i then went to my corpose flew north to try and find him again, i was swearing at myself that somone else has tagged it by now lol. Then there he was at 30, 48 flying north east towards ulduar. II tagged him this time made sure i used my beer and even as i was killing him i could of swarn i was about to be ganked lol , thankfuly no one was around and i got his reigns :)
If it wasnt for help from other peoples posts and help i wouldnt have got it so thank you everyone whos contributed and best of luck to everyone else still trying. :)
very easy kill, comes to melle range very fast as well.
So yeh id say if your going to camp a spawn id go for 29, 67

Vyra killed at 30.1, 68.1 02:10 CEST (European Server Shattered Hand) Heading from those coords to Valkyron
Corpse took exactly 30 mins to despawn but I don't know if this is in any way important.

TLPD has been looted on my server today. The macro and a guy told me when I asked in General if anyone has seen his corpse. I was 30 min. to late. Now I have to reset the macro. I have deleted the cache folder and logged in to WoW again. When I try the macro again it still shows me the reins of the TLPD and not 'retrieving information'. Is this correct? When does it shows me 'retrieving information' again?
Thanks!

Well, I just got mine. After quite a bit of "time-lost". I can't be sure but I'd guess around 100 hours of patrolling/camping.
Actually I camped a spawn yesterday for about 7 hours only to go afk for about 3 mins and come back to a dead TLPD. Almost quit but again I figured it was only a matter of time.
My total rares spotted are only about 5. Two live spawns of Vyra (missed one, got the other kill). 1 Missed TLPD and the second my kill.
Then, about 5 hours into my camping tonight, POP!
Top of Bor's Breath seems to be the most stable place to camp, I've heard a few people saying Engine is more reliable but I stuck with my spot.
GL to the rest of you hunters out there!

I curse all of you! DAMN YOU!
I wanted that mount.... So bad.. And I have a bad story about that luck of ''Getting Time-Lost Proto-Drake''.
I was in Bor's Breath as I used to do in evening - yeah only evening I'm not ''crackpot'' with it and standing there all the day - I was speaking with someone by whispers, so my macro was not activated (Because it would do ''H6i, mi6 na6me is6 ka6munk6in6'' >< So, I was speaking with a friend when I saw TLPD flying really slowly, not flying high, coming from K3 heading to Bor's Fall. I was alone, and I was suddenly the happiest person of the moment in the world. I've not even had the time to press ''W'' to run after him, that my WoW freezed, and got ''World Server is Down'' ................................................. I was simply yelling, camping him since almost 2 months, I'm kinda bored to see those guys flying on their gold dragon, and much more because I collect mount, and actually got 74 mounts.. So when I connected back, after +- 1 hour trying to reconnect, he was killed... My macro said that he has been looted... So well, I'm just starting to believe that I'm cursed... Blue Proto-Drake dropped, not got it. Black War Traveling Mammoth in Vault dropped, not got it... Azure Drake dropped, not got it. Blue Drake dropped, not got it. Opening my 234523587th egg, not got the green proto (I know is a question of luck, but there's so many on my server (Lightning's Blade - US)...
I WONT GIVE UP! ><

Server: Kirin Tor (US)
Name: Upgrayed
Server Time: 5:07 AM
Coords: 31,49 (spotted @ 28,52 flying northeast)
How you spotted it: Was camping Bor's Breath; macro picked him up just north of Valkyrion, flying north. I caught him immediately after logging in so it's entirely likely that he spawned at the usual Bor's Breath location a minute or two prior.
Height: ~30 yards.
Direction of travel: North/northeast
Did you kill Vyragosa prior or know of the kill prior? No.

Everyday since April 12th I sat in Storm Peaks 12+ hours a day. I got 3-4 hours of sleep a night, went to work and came home and farmed, it was seriously killing me! I read so many posts about this thing its been unreal. Well tonight I can finally sleep!
Killed him today:
http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/1328/timedragon.jpg
Saw a Night Elf Hunter bringing it to the ground so I paniced and took the kill. To how I beat a hunter to tagging it first when im a prot warrior and was 9488947 feet away... I dont know. He/She then went PVP and was taunting me and I killed her.
But after the 50 spits on me the dragon is mine =)! I just have to say that after my countless Vyragosa Kills and Only ever seeing the Time Dragon once, your best luck is just walking into it. Now with the dailies in Storm Peaks people are finding it at times when the farmers are not there. Its all about luck and today I got super lucky.
The Spawn timer I believe is shared between any rare mob in the zone: Vyra, time, Dirkee. Theres a chance every 6+ hours one of the rare mobs will appear and of course the Time Dragon has a lower spawn timer. People get excitied once Vyra is dead and start farming for 1-2 hours. DO NOT, waste your time. Vyra and the Time Dragon will not spawn in under 6 hours. I saw AND killed Vyra 18 times in a row and never once saw the time dragon which made me think it spawned when i went to work (which it could of possibly happened).
Just my 2 cents.

im posting this less than a minute after servers have gone back up following tuesday maintenance and the cache macro is returning the drake info. Asking everyone in the zone on both alliance and horde sides and searching for the TLPD body all over the place but nothing. The cache was either not cleared with the maintenance or it's now confirmed that it does NOT indicate that someone looted the reins since the last server reset.

If this guy is marked as hostile to players couldn't you fly through him to pull him and thus move closer to the ground before actualy marking him. That way if you have no slowfall effect you still have the chance to not die?

First of all: NO, I did not get "my" Time-Lost Proto Drake yet.
And yes, I have "lost" a lot of time waiting for him. I took a short break once doing a Baron run and when I came back, the corpse was lying on the exact spot where I am usually waiting at. :(
Anyway, just wanted to share this: I am not spamming any macros but using the addon NPC_Scan. It basically let's you know when a rare mob is in your vicinity by scanning your npc cache.
It's brilliant and I downed Vyragosa a couple of times due to it's un-mistakable warning sound. It also pops up a box that targets the mob when you click it.
I am currently using it with patch 3.1.1a and it works like a charm.
Give it a try and good luck ... to me! :)
Cheerio
FINALLY, after so many days of waiting: I logged in today just to talk to some friends and was surfing the internet on the side when NPC_Scan went off. I was at my usual waiting spot around 36,62 (as far as I remember - it should be right between Bor's Breath and the Engine of the Makers). That spot supposedly covers most flight paths of the TLPD.
I was just about to log out, look at my screen and see the NPC_Scan popup. Since I did not move I knew it had to be alive to get in my range. And there it was, right behind me, flying towards the Engine of the Makers. Being a Pala, I switched to Retribution Aura, flew through it, got hit and for good measure threw an Exorcism at him as well.
I fall ... and forget to pop the Slowfall Lager!
The fall almost kills me and TLPD is on me in no time. Luckily no one is around to take me down. So I Lay on Hands and start attacking the TLPD. To my surprise, I take the drake down in only a few seconds - he really is no match for any level 80 char.
Good luck with your hunt, I strongly recommend waiting in that little "bridge" between the Engine and Bor's, very close to the ground (to cover his low height path in Bor's Breath as well).
I saw the TLPD three times around there, the last time being my kill. As I said, the maps above show that you cover most of his routes in that spot.
Gotta take my new Proto Drake for a ride now... :)

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!

Found at 11 PM server time on US Misha. Went on my daily routine to farm saronite ores for ammo while spamming my macro (/tar "most rares in Northrend.") Took me a good 1-2 mins to find him after my macro targeted him. I was so nervous that I dismounted by accident. After I located him, I simply dragged him down to the gound and smashed on him. Be warned, when you finally find this beauty, be prepared to jump off you seat in excitement. He's just that awesome.

I think the server cache is deleted every maintenance, but I'm not entirely sure.

The cache is deleted every server reset, but in order for the check macro to work you must delete your own as well.
So best bet to see if has dropped on your server is that after the weekly server downtime, you run repair.exe in wow dir. and only use the option Reset the world of warcraft cache data, and click the button Reset only.
Logic is simple. if it doesent find it in your local cache, it checks the servers cache, if its not in server one it hasn't dropped yet. But if you have it still in local cache, it will show up anyway even thou it has not spawned yet that week. so clear your local cache!
Of my experience this only works until someone loots it once per week, as it gets into server side cache, then you have no way of knowing if it spawned and was killed maybe 3 times that week.
I'm however begining to think that TLPD spawns once a week and thats it :P BUT it is 100% once a week because not a week has gone by that at some point some day before the reset.. server DID return the item from cache..
so there you have it.. still camping mine :(
good luck to the rest of you.
p.s. the macro im talking about is this:
/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");

Today was a very lucky day. I came out of HoS HC after managing to get the killing blow on the final boss while the rest of my party was dead (a lucky Hammer of Justice crit), I flew off to sit at the three-way junction at Bor's Breath as I'd done for weeks, this time to read about HoS a bit more whilst clicking my macro every so often.
So a rogue flies down to me, and asks if I'm farming. I gave up on that a while ago (I'd never even seen the corpse until today), so I told him I was just chancing my luck. He asked me again, and while I was typing my reply, he invited me to group with him. I'm moving my mouse over to click 'decline' and what appears in the distance is none other than the Time-Lost Proto.
So I accept (I figured he'd tag it without me if I didn't), and he flies in to tag it - but he falls too fast and loses it (and almost dies!) So I tag it, slowly let it follow me down to a ledge, and the rogue appears just as I kill it. We both rolled on it, and I won! Woo! I'm happeh.
Anyway, some learning points:
A tag and drop definitely won't work - you fall too fast and lose aggro. Just fly past it and take it to a ledge - there's plenty around.
I can confirm it spawns at the lake in Bor's Breath, so it might be worthwhile camping there if that's what you wany to do.
It has 19k hp and a Holy Pally can kill it in about 10 seconds. Not tough at all.
This was the first time that both me and the rogue had seen it alive or dead in both our two weeks of camping/visiting. I've never even seen Vyragosa alive once, but found her dead twice on Bor's Breath as well.
Proof:

Hi, Tagged this at coords 41,60 at 3.41 am on Ravenholdt server.
Time taken, 1 day O_O. I setup a basic dual screen setup where wow was on the other so i could play some Killzone 2 :)
Quiet day with no alerts, went off did a few heroics then did the dailys on reset. Went over to do my brick daily from tournament and boom, alarm went off. After my hear attack i looked high as people had warned to see a small golden dot. This thing was way beyond 100 yards high. So i mounted quick, flew up and did a jiggle, slowly desended to the ground and poped ghost wolves. Bagged done and sorted. Also got a neck peice

I camped Bor's Breath for 2 days about 8 hours a day, and I was using NPCScan to alert me when a rarespawn appeared on my screen (I edited the LUA file to change the sound to something more alerting). The first day I killed Vyragosa twice and I might've missed a Time-Lost spawn when I was away IRL. The second day I killed Vyragosa once and then Time-Lost spawns later in the day.
Here's a pic:

After about 3 days of solid camping, finally got mine on Saturday 9th of May at 5pm server time on Jubei'thos US. The previous wednesday i saw a dead TLPD that i was minutes late of killing myself, and thought i'd give the camp another good attempt. I was dual boxing a toon in naxx with my rogue camping Bor's Breath using NPCscan, and just as we pulled Thaddius it went nuts in the background. Checked the other window to see TLPD coming down from Frosthold, and nobody was in the area!
Things i learned when farming this mount
Vyragosa and TLPD DEFINITLEY share spawn locations and spawn times.
All of my Vyragosas and TLPD spawned roughly 4 minutes before the hour, out of 6 kills, all of them shared this time.
I cannot confirm the 6+ hours spawn, but it is most definitely no less than 6. (I had to wait on average 12 - 18 hours before seeing another Vyra spawn at all.)
You can see him from very far away, so the best thing to do imo is to sit in Bor's Breath over the frozen lake infront of Valkyrion and watch some TV, Read, do anything to pass time.
This is the EXACT spawn location of ALL of the Vyra's i have seen, and the one TLPD that i managed to find alive (and kill)

I'd been camping most of the day and logged to help a friend w/ a quest on my DK, logged back in and saw the corpse, woe is me =(

Found him in front of Valkyrion while looking for Titanium.
Looks good...but still it's a bit scary. Hope he doesn't try to eat me.

I got this one in a weird way. =)
I'm not supposed to have internet but I snuck in my cable so I could do my dailies. Deciding to go to Storm Peaks to do my Brunnhildar daily I looked around saying to myself "You never know." and when I thought I saw something it was an Alliance mounted on a Time-Lost Proto-Drake. "So that's the color." I said to myself and then out of nowhere I saw another one flying right behind the Alliance, but that was the Time-Lost Proto-Drake itself!
So I flew to it as fast as I could, put a Living Bomb on it and casted Slow Fall on myself and killed it quickly before anyone saw me. Afterwards I was like, yay. =)

Found him last night on my way back to Dalaran. I have probably only spent maybe 6 hours searching for him total since I hit level 80. I just happened to be very lucky. Here is where I killed him.

Found it today on Kirin Tor by the blindest, dumbest luck of all time. I honestly wasn't even looking for it. I was on my way to finish the Enchanted Earth quest. But there it was, flying away from Ulduar over the snowdrift plains. I'm a lvl 79 Protection Pally and I found it VERY easy to solo. Should be a cinch for any class...If you can find it. :P Good luck to all of you on the hunt. ^_^

I've been hunting the Timelost for about 12 days now, not as long as some. Although I haven't personally found it yet, these are the dates and times of the spawns I've seen, dead or alive. All times are Eastern Standard.
This is only at the Bor's Breath paths; I don't fly around looking, so several days I may have missed spawns.
May 1st - Vyragosa, 3:12 PM
May 2nd - Vyragosa, 3:47 AM
May 2nd - Time-Lost Protodrake, between 4 AM and 7 AM
May 3rd - Vyragosa, 1:20 PM
May 4th - Vyragosa, 12:58 AM
May 8th - Vyragosa, 1:59 PM
May 8th - Vyragosa, 10:26 PM
May 13th - Time-Lost Protodrake, found dead at 12:24 PM
From what I've seen so far, there seems to be a pretty reliable 12ish hour gap between spawns. It's not exact, but it's close.

You want this mount?
Be prepared to spend hours camping. Sure, you could be one of the lucky ones that just happen upon it, but chances are you'll spend a LOT of time in Storm Peaks before you get a glimpse of this guy. More then once I've seen a camper give up and leave after a few hours have passed. As boring as it is, the odds of you catching the drake are multiplied significantly if you show a little patience.
I also advise any serious camper to pick a spot and stay there. Sure you could lose a kill that way, but every single time I've gotten Vyragosa, someone inevitably comes along a few minutes later from their patrol, and I got the kill because I stayed put. I think the risk is worth it, as Bor's Breath is a known spawn/hot spot.
Anyway, I casually started to camp TLPD as soon as I first heard about him, but the more I read up on it (and after a friend bailed on me to complete "Glory of the Hero") I decided to really go after him.
The very first night I started I caught a Vyragosa sighting, but I was specced feral, and in my excitement I couldn't locate my logger and died. Since then I've killed her a few times. Granted, this has not been a 24 hour camping experience so I've probably missed a good number of spawns, but this is what I've seen personally:
5/4- 5:30 AM-saw her, lost the kill. She spawned in front of Valkyrion. She flys fairly low around that area, so don't be looking up in the sky for her.
5/5- 3:40 AM-my kill. Flying over Bor's Breath towards Valkyrion
5/6- 9:45 PM-a friend of mine stumbled upon her by accident and got the kill. Bor's Breath
5/8-2:30 AM-my kill. Bor's Breath
5/10-12:53 AM-my kill. Once again, Bor's Breath.
I share info with another camper I usually run into, and apparently TLPD spawned later on in the day of my last kill. Ironically, every kill of TLPD that I know of (on my server) has been on a Sunday. The one (and only) day I found it dead was on a Sunday. Another Sunday someone announced on general the body had been spotted on the Snowdrift Plains. It's probably a coincidence, but it still makes me wonder.
Given I saw multiple Vyragosa spawns my first week of camping, I figured this would be a cakewalk. Unfortunately I haven't had a single sighting since then. The spawn rates and times really
are
random and unpredictable.

When I woke up this morning, I thought: Hey, he maybe spawns soon, I go turn on the computer. I have heard he got spawn timers, as fast as the time was 08.30, I started patrol. I started at bor's breath end, and when I got to engine of the makers, someone had killed him exactly where I started. I got really ^&*!ed, cuz he prolly spawned right at my back when I went off. :/ It seems, he spawns at fully hours like 08.00, but also 08.30!
EDIT: He spawns at any time, not what i wrote

These are the three confirmed routes shared by the Time-Lost Drake and Vyragosa, I have personally monitored these routes and followed either the Time-Lost Drake or Vyragosa. There is a forth route but I can't confirm this one yet but it is probably a route but I have not been able to follow either rare on the red spotted route. And now I have the Drake on my three toons I think I’ve wasted too much time on this already to confirm the red route.
Good luck.

Time-Lost Proto-drake is considered hostile to other creatures in the zone and may attack or be attacked by them (unconfirmed).
Just as an update. I can confirm that it does not attack or be attacked by creatures in the area that it pats in. I was doing daily's today and flew through it and did a double take to make sure of what I was seeing. It was in among the blue drakes that fly around in the area of the engine of the makers.

Just got this yesterday around 3:00 pm server time.
Until yesterday, I had never seen the corpse, let alone a live TLPD! I'm currently saving up for the Mechano-hog, so I left Storm Peaks to go and do Tournament dailies. I finished up Tournament dailies and flew back into Storm Peaks to do Sons of Hodir. I was cruising through Bor's Breath when I noticed a large golden dragon coming around the bend. I had to do a double-take to realize that it was the Time-Lost Proto-Drake.
I flew down and tagged him immediately, and the fight was over as soon as it started. He's a real easy kill. I was surprised that no one else had gotten him already, as it was pretty busy and there were tons of people all over the place.

Well, I'm on day number 2 out of...well, probably a lot, in my quest to find the Time-Lost Proto Drake.
I've read hundreds of comments on varying web sites, and have learned a lot. Mostly, though, I've learned that most people don't know anything about this mount. Most posts conflict each other, even with both posters claiming they "know" their information is true. There's also a lot - a LOT - of people that are making up information. Please, don't post if you're going to mislead people. That's just evil.
I have a small log compiled of what has happened so far, but really the only thing related to the Proto-Drake is about an hour after I started camping last night, Vyragosa came into my view while I was camping at about 36,66. She was heading east from what looked like to be either Valkyrion or Frosthold. I'm on a PvP server and had seen no one until she appeared, which I thought was odd. I flew into her, caught aggro, landed on a nearby ledge and proceeded to kill her. About halfway through it, a Horde Paladin jumped behind me and started dps'ing me, so I just jumped off the ledge and casted Slow Fall, Living Bomb'd Vyra and Fire Blast'd her, and she was dead. I Naaru'd myself and flew back up to the corpse, looted my bag and the helm, stayed for about an hour longer(yeah, I didn't really know anything last night), and logged off.
I logged back on today, stayed on for three straight hours in the same spot and found nothing. I logged off, came back a few hours later, and I'm still sitting in pretty much the same spot. I've been here for about four hours and haven't seen anything.
So that makes for about seven hours spent today trying to find this mount, with no success. My hope isn't lowering at all, though. I have many patience.
I'll update later on with more useful information if any comes along.

Be prepared to spend a lot of time looking for this mount if you really want it. I am going on 153 hours of "Time-Lost" and I have also killed Vyragosa eleven times, seen her dead three, and seen Time-Lost Proto Drake dead twice. Hard core camping is the way to go, if you only do laps every time you are in the area you will be depending on luck a lot.
Biggest tips from my experience so far is to talk to the people who are going for the Time-Lost as well. They may know things about the last spawn time that you do not. The shortest time I hear on sights is six hours, the shortest time in my experience was eleven hours from the last kill. Longest was 23 hours. If someone else tries to take your area move closer to where the spawn point is or find another one of the spawn points and switch to that area. Ones I know (seen for myself) are spawn points include: 30, 65. 27, 55. 44,62. I think that 35, 65 and 27, 44 are spawn points as well, but I am not sure. People who are doing laps are less likely to get the mount if others are in the area looking for it, especially if their are people camping spawn points. I have run into many people doing laps looking for the drake, herbing and/or mining, this is will make it less of a time waste but do note that you have less of a chance of getting the mount and will most likely spend much more time looking for it.
I have found that sitting in one spot and waiting is the best thing to do, and the spot to do it is the frozen lake at Bor's Breath. The exact place where I hang out is 28.13, 63.58, in this spot I can see two of the spawn points that I know (I have seen Vyragosa spawn there myself) both out of the cliff face towards Frosthold and the pass from Valkyrion and the Snowdrift Plains, you also have a good eye on the the path that the dragons take from one of their other spawn points (they would come towards you from the east flying low). Do note that Bor's Breath is one of the lowest areas they fly, which is another reason it is a prime spot. If you are on a high population server you will run into people a lot at this spot, so be prepared to encounter mages, druids, and shamans trying to get you off your mount.
I have been hard core camping for just over a week now, staying up for two and three days at a time. This is very much a test of patience and luck, do not get discouraged, their is nothing you can do other than to stream line you strategy and pray. Good luck to you all.

Attacked by three Horde who overtook my spot. I was repeatedly killed when I rezzed and attempted to stay at my camping spot. I'm guessing they're camping there now, I slightly changed my spot to 27,61 @ 9:26pm, just beyond normal viewing distance from where they are. Since they're in a group, I doubt they'll last long. I'll check back in a couple of hours.
Checked back at 9:39pm, the Horde have already abandoned their post. Previously, they were set up in a line, about a hundred yards in between each other, which made me assume they were camping for TLPD. Either TLPD or Vyragosa spawned, and they killed him(which would require outrageous good luck on their part, and terrible bad luck on mine), or they have already lost patience. I assume - and hope - the latter is true. Camping 29,65 @ 9:42pm.
no sightings
I just camped for about ten hours straight with no breaks in between. If anybody reading this really wants to obtain this mount, you'd better be serious about it. If you can't take days of having no sightings or clues, then this mount isn't for you. The worst part about it is, even if I wanted to quit, I couldn't. I've already spent about twenty five hours on this mount, give or take, and if I gave up now that would all go to waste. And the sad part is I have an evil feeling that it's going to be a long time before I get it, even on this low-pop server. Good luck to you.
>>stopped camping 28,64 @ 6:25am<<
(sleep)
May 25th
>>started camping 29,65 @ 3:00pm<<
no sightings
5:32pm - changed my spot back to 35,66. There's nobody on my server in my area camping him, at least there hasn't been anyone since I started. I figure this way I have a lesser chance of missing him.
7:15pm - FOUND AND KILLED THE TIME LOST PROTO DRAKE! Coords 35,64, he was flying much, MUCH, higher than I thought he would. He was exactly even with the hole in the side of Temple of the Storms. I don't really remember, but I'm fairly sure he was flying TOWARDS me from Engine of the Makers, or somewhere around there.
Wow. What an experience. I was alt-tabbed, going from my WoW window back to firefox pretty much all day. I heard NPCScan go off, and my heart rate immediately exploded. I got back into WoW, and low and behold, the Time-Lost Proto Drake had been spotted. I went into freak out mode and started looking for him everywhere, I was just waiting for someone else to tag him, and couldn't find him! I targeted him and looked up, and there he was. UP THERE. Wherever you think he's going to be, it's going to be higher, definitely.
I was waiting for someone to tag him, but I got him. I flew right into him, dismounted, fire blasted him, and casted slow fall...everything seemed to take years. I started going into freak out mode because I casted my Mirror Image, and he turned to one of them and killed him instantly, but since I thought he was targeting me I thought I had died! Oh man, that part sucked for a second lol. I killed him in like five seconds. He doesn't hit hard, and he barely has any life.
Now for the protips.
x Stay calm. Just kidding, it's not possible. Once you see him, you will nearly die of a heart attack, guaranteed. I'm a pretty mellow person and I was even babbling to myself when I saw him. That's how much spotting him will make you freak out.
x Once you decide to start camping him, DO NOT GO ANYWHERE ELSE! That's probably the most important thing. You have to realize that if you sit in that spot long enough, you will be guaranteeing yourself a mount. If you leave to go do naxx, or whatever, that's probably going to be the time that he spawns. DON'T DO IT! Getting this mount has been the most rewarding experience in WoW for me so far.
x At times it will seem like he's not ever going to spawn. Some points you'll start to convince yourself he doesn't even exist. I sure did. I almost up and left god, I don't even know how many times. I almost did right before I saw him, but instead relocated to a more viable position. It worked out very well for me :). Don't give up. You'll get this mount if you set your mind to it. I guarantee it.
Good luck to all of you going for this very rare and exclusive mount :)

It's no problem. The only help players have when looking for this mount is other players, so it's my pleasure.
Another interesting piece of information, I killed TLPD at 7:15pm server time at Bor's Breath. I was just now doing my dailies in Storm Peaks, and my NPCScan went off again. My heart jumped into my throat because I thought I had spotted him yet again, lol, but it was only Vyragosa, dead, at Brunnhildar village. This happened at about 4:50pm, so Vyragosa spawned a little less than ten hours after my TLPD kill.
That's golden proof that the spawns can be about ten hours apart, even though this probably isn't shocking anyone, haha.
If anyone has any questions, feel free to contact me. I'm Shawnx on Azshara, Alliance side, and I'm usually playing :D.

Monday: night Vyra spawns at
2:00am
Server time.. Dead body disappears at 2:35am Server time.
Tue: No spawns.
Wed: log on at 4:00pm and stayed to 7:00pm
Wed: log back on at 10:00pm. stayed till kill time..Time Lost Spawns at
2:10am
Server time. body disappears 2:37am.
Now what I am trying to point out is, Vyra and Time Lost spawn on the same time frame but on different days. Is this something worth taking a look at or just lucky on the times?

I've been trying to farm this for a couple weeks and made a song to pass the countless hours passing.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6ljFaKRTrI
is the rythem i based it off of, here are the lyricss.
"This was a bad week
I'm making a note here:
Waist of time.
It's hard to overstate my disapointment.
<name> the farmer
I did what I could,
Not quite enough...
For the save of vanity
I won't ever give up.
But theres no sense crying over every mistake,
You just keep on trying until you get your drake.
And the farming gets done
And you have zero fun
With the people who are still farming.
I'm not even bored yet,
I'm being so lifeless today.
Even though you just spawned
Infront of me,
I didn't get credit.
Because that guy just ninjad my kill.
As I cried it hurt because I was so angry with him!
Now these points of data make a beautiful line,
I'm out of this thread
I'll get him this time!
So I'm sad I got burned
I know he'll just "lose" his head.
for all the people who are still farming.
Go ahead and leave me,
I think I prefer to stay inside
Maybe I'll find some time to help you,
Yeah later today...
That was a joke,
Haha fat chance!
Anyways this rout is great
I've seen vyragosa thrice!
Look at me still talking
When theres farming to do,
When I look out there it makes me glad I'm not you!
I've got a killer rout now,
There is farming to be done
With the people who are still at it!
And believe me I'm farming,
I'm doing well and I'm still farming,
I feel cheated and I'm still farming,
While your dying I'll still be farming,
And when your dead I will be done farming.
Done farming,
DONE FARMING!"
Anyways I really hope some1 enjoys humming it to themselves as much as me.

I came here today to read up on it during work and when I got home from work I did my dailies and thought I would take a few trips around with my marco to see if I would find anything. And what do you know I find the TLPD on my second trip. Like 10 mins. of seraching! SOO LUCKY, I was soo stoked when my macro went crazy!

Literally took me like 10 mins. SOOO stoked... I feel sorry for the people looking for this guy for months. Found him patroling up the path from K3, heart raced, looked everywhere till I saw him and tag him with exo and bubble fell down. Easy fight and easy loot. It was around 6:30pm server.

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

I know people probably are tired if seeing maps etc. I used this route to get my Drake.
The map is in Hi Res an was ripped right out the game. If you like or if you don't, it's up to you. Thought i would post it and maybe help some people out on what they really need to see from a overhead view point.
I hope this help's someone.

Ok after seeing people post the same thing ..maps, estimated times and spawn points..Ive got real information that I have put together and seen with my own time and experience..ok so here we go pay attention..
Blizz has a reason for everything they do with World of Warcraft ..so me knowing that theres a reason its called TIME-LOST PROTO DRAKE...its not because the amount of time you will be camping spawn points its because the Proto Drake really takes time hince..the (-) between Time and Lost...this theory has worked for me with one miss kill because of raidng and one time with kill of the Drake..so you ask how did I come to this ...
1. 1st week (after I came to my theory) I camped Bor's Breath I killed Vyragosa at 12:20 pm despawned at 12:50pm thats 30min on the despawn timer. So I knew to check back at the 6 -12 hour mark right.... WRONG ..I have the macro to search the server to see if anyone has used the spell to obtain the mount ..everytime i checked it came up with nothing .....so I was like WTF this is good very good...I remeber someone saying something about 24 hours after Vyragosa kill....so the next day I was camping and got bored so I took an invite to Naxx 25 (huge mistake) ...at 11:15am I checked the server while in Naxx and nothing came back at 11:20 on the dot I checked again and "BOOM" there is was someone got the kill..."minus (-) one hour of the Vyragosa kill not the despawn"because I was went to freakin Naxx I failed ..Epic Fail....
2. So after that experience I made a promise to myself never to leave my camp zone and to stick to my theory because it seems to be working...The the next day the sever had emergency restart so I was like hellz ya my macro reset and I searched the server and it was clean..at 4:20pm in my camp zone (Bor's Breath) Vyragosa spawned the kill was mine she despawned at 4:50pm ...SO I was like no since of sitting here lets go raid so I did whatever I wanted not worry bout Time-Lost spawning on me.....to the next day went to run errands and enjoy my weekend with the fam..at 3:15pm (23 hours and 15 minutes after my Vyragosa kill) I was logged in.. NPCscan ready and in my spawn zone right over the frozen Lake in Bor's Breath I was ready to rock....3:20 pm and "BOOM" NPCscan goes nuts and there she was right under me ....tag & bag baby all mine....so ez right well now it is for you
I took 2 months of heavy camping and never leaving my camp Zone to come up with this Ive always missed the spawn becuase I was an hour late thinking it raiding or in the wrong area...
This post is not to take away from people saying 6-12 hour spawns ..this is to just let people follow a theory that has worked for me and give them some spare time but the secret is this you have to know the Vyragosa spawn time or watch the despawn and subtract 30min then you will have the spawn time..Then then count 24 hours up and subtract 1 hour from that and be at a spawn point of your choosing ..I picked the frozen lake in Bor's Breath in the middle because you have 1 connection from 3 diffrent paths and you are sitting on a spawn point...
So use this theory at your own risk I love it and it worked for me TWICE!

Or you can just do JC daily and he/she will fly over you. That worked for me. Btw, it has to be the day after you bought epic flying skill.

what macro do you use to see whether or not someone has used the spell to learn how to use the drake?

Ok..this is the first time I've saw this on my server. TLPD spawned friday. Have not seen the corpse, but it was just the macro who showed me the reins. So I was not expecting TLPD spawns the next few days and I thought I had to wait at least 4 days again or so before someone claimed a kill. Then on saturday night I was sitting in SP just under Frosthold playing some useless AB matches (losses all the time). I wanted to log off, but decided to go to Engine of Makers one last time just to see. There my macro picked him up dead. It was around 1:25. Stayed at his corpse till he despawned around 1:50. So I was just to late! Coords: 39.2

Camped about 3 hours yesturday afternoon and it was quiet, nothing spotted at 28.65 (frozen lake) so i thought i would go for a quick shower, was in the shower for no more than 5 mins.. I came back to a DEAD TLPD at 31.65. Was killed by my friend who i was talking to about 15 mins before i he got it, it was killed at 17:32pm (4:32pm UK time) and i believe it spawned at the top of the waterfall in bors breath.. I didnt wait for the despawn time as i was so furious it decided to spwn at that time.. it had the whole day to spawn and it choose to spawn then.. it was traveling west up the waterfall when it alerted his NPCScan.. I have now seen this drake dead twice and missed it three other times while i was logged out, I keep a record Vyragosa/TLPD deaths/kills, from what i notice from my info it looks like TLPD is killed 1 maybe 2 times a week on my realm - so maybe next time it will be me who gets it -.-' anywayz Grtz Hitandrun who got the mount! Also Id like to add I have been camping for 4 months for this mount now, and its getting boring!

Ok..just to edit my post, TLPD spawned AGAIN om my server. I was reading the post here about the spawn time-theory while sitting at Engine of Makers. When I was finished I went back to the waterfall (were I've camped 15 min. ago) And I saw a dead TLPD. So now it has been looted on friday, saturday and today! But it is kinda strange because I haven't seen the one who killed it or claimed the kill on these 3 days. One guy told me he had seen someone flying without a mount and said either it was a GM or a hacker and that he could not whisper him. He may speedhacked it.

The theory is interesting. But not quite sound. It is IMPOSSIBLE that it is a hard coded 24 hour spawn after Vyra is killed. I killed Vyra one morning, lets say around 2am. Time-lost reins were not linkable at that time. This all happening 4 days after normal server maintenance, 4 days no spawn. I went to sleep after killing Vyra, figuring there wouldn't be any sightings. Wrong. When I woke up Time-lost was linkable, meaning he had been killed sometime during the time I was asleep. I would have to bet 6 hours after Vyra was killed... So either Vyra can have up to a 96 hour spawn timer, or TLPD did not spawn or maybe did and wasnt killed? Both are hard to believe.
So this theory. Although I do agree with it for the most part, I think there is more to it. If you look back over all the kills, sadly there doesn't seem to be much of a pattern. I put this down to a whole lot of BS in whats being reported, but if you take the more valid kills, I think there is something to the 6/12/24 hour spawn timer. This would have to assume that the kills that were reported 30 min to 1 hr after Vyra kills are fake, OR that the killer of TLPD had been lied to regarding when Vyra was killed... In any case, I think using this theory as a basis for camping for this week isn't a bad idea.

Well i've actually been searching for the drake for exactly 7 days..and saw it twice during those 7 days. On the first day I found and killed Dirkee with a random person who had been hunting the drake on the same day. He let me get the loot. The next day at about 10:35 PM on a monday, the drake spawned, I thought I had tagged it first, but it turns out a rogue had gotten the tag before me and won the loot. I was so mad i couldn't sleep that night. Throughout the week I left my character on while I was at school, while my younger brother was on, since he was feeling sick and didn't go to school; he watched just incase my npcscan went on. Throughout, that week I had sighted vyragosa 3 times and only seen Dirkee on my first day. Today(sunday), early in the morning I had found Vyragosa dead at around 10AM and later today at 10:35 exact time as before TLPD spawned and go the kill. Took several hours of camping this week, but I think it payed off.

DUDE SWAGGAH YOU ARE MY HERO!
I read Swaggah's post on his theory and I was like well Ive tried everything else ...so like he said "use this theory at your own risk " ...I was like what the hell it's been almost a month why not
At 1:15pm got the Vyragosa kill she despawned at 1:45pm
I logged off and chillaxed for the rest of the day
Logged back in the next day did the normal went to my spot at Engine of the Makers at 12:05 ...was waiting till 12:15pm longest 10 minutes of my life and then there it was 12:15 on the spot! NPCscan went off I tagged her and got the kill ...Time-Lost all mine!
So Swaggah of Mug thol TY! :)

Swaggah's theory is correct for what I can tell!
Posted on the 1st of July
TLPD - 19:30 - Bor's breath ( not my kill - only info from someone else )
TLPD - 18:27 - Bor's breath ( spawned ontop of me, pc lagged out ----> I die --->
QQ
---> not my kill )
TLPD - 17:27 - Brunnhildar Village ( spawned ontop of me, WoW fatal error ----> I swear --->
QQ
----> not my kill )
TLPD - 16:27 ? ( Only god knows at this moment )
dates:
1st TLPD - 30th of May
2nd TLPD - 31th of May
3th TLPD - 1st of July
4th TLPD - 2nd of July
I honestly am not 100% convinced myself but ill be camping at 16:27 tomorrow for sure. If it does spawn again ill post it and I do think the time-lost proto drake might need a name change if this is the actual timer.
And yes I need a new pc...

I've been camping this bad boy for over 40hrs for the past two weeks and not even a corpse, the closest I've come is downing Vyragosa four times.
A bit of information, so I've read the latest post and theory and I am adding my two cents to this. So last night I am hovering Bor's Breath hitting some mining veins... the usual Sunday night away from it all. At 3:10AM I tag, kill Vyragosa for the fourth time, seen her about 10 times in the past two weeks. So I write down my Vyragosa kill time and remember when I swear I killed her twice before in 24 hrs.. and I think hard to myself (is it the all nighters and times of camping 12 hrs straight doing this to me) or ... could it have been 24hrs later. So I test my luck today. I forget to empty the cache in my NPCScan and do a quick raid before reset, and go to Bor's Breath testing the newest theory and without fail I am hovering at Bor's Breath see a Titanium vein on my mini-map and come across Vyragosa's corpse, this is at 2:10PM the next day. Now this makes me wonder how come folks are coming across it 24hrs and not my at my 12hrs?
So I will be testing my luck tonight after work.. wish me luck with the Time(-)Lost Proto Drake!

I dont really understand SWaggas theory. So you mean if I kill vyragosa or find it should I wait 24h then TIme lost might spawn or what?
评论来自
Davidoc
so just to make the theory clear for me...when you see Vyragosa/TLPD spawn, you have to look at the time he spawned and than count up 24 hours and subtract one hour and pick a spawn point?
评论来自
Crooz
For him maybe vryagosa spawns every 24hrs(maybe variables like server pop or reset cycles it to a 24hr timer) but you subtract an hour from the time you killed it to find the next spawn time because it is Time (-) lost. Play on words from blizz?

I had been camping this drake for about 6 weeks before finally getting "lucky" on sunday morning. I had myself sitting over the frozen lake for at least 8-10 hours every day with my wife's toon sitting near Brunnhildar village on the computer next to me, both running _Npcscan. Over my 6 week camp I killed Vyragosa close to 40 times and had seen the TLPD 4 times including my kill. Each of the 3 previous times I had been beat to it by another player. I personally saw it spawn right over Brunnhildar village once. Twice I was making a loop from the lake around Frosthold mountain and saw it being killed at the waterfall end of Bor's breath. Finally my kill came after it spawned right over Valkyrion flying straight at me sitting at the frozen lake.
Now some of the things I noticed in my 6 weeks of nonstop camping. I definately agree with the theories that the TLPD shares the same 4 flight paths of Vyragosa. I also agree that they both share the same spawn points and spawn timer. I had never seen a Vyragosa or TLPD spawn less than 6 hours. I had seen several right after the 6 hour mark. I had also seen the next spawn take up to as many as 23 hours. I had seen a few at 9 hours and some at 15 hours, making it seem to me that it is totally random between 6 to 24 hours. My TLPD kill came 15 Hours after my previous Vyragosa kill. In all my kill logging (way too many to post here) there was no rhyme or reason. Every kill was very randomly spread out. If anyone has any questions feel free to contact me.
I finally got my kill on Sunday, March 31st at 8:45 am PST on the US server Azjol-Nerub. I'm so glad its finally over. Here are some screenshots.

Just a calendar of Vyragosa kills since May 15th to show how random it can be.
Pink dots in the bottom right hand corner are kills by me, black are by others.
Pink dots with a red dot are killed in Bor's Breath
Black dots with a blue dot are killed near the Engine of the Makers.
The blue framed screen shot is when I started camping both Bor's Breath and Brunnhildar. Seemed to make a difference.
Red lines are when the Reins of the Time-Lost Proto-Drake showed up on the server cache. No personal witness to those
Can almost confirm that you should expect two Vyragosa spawns a day, but than again, it has gone as long as 24.
Take from this what you will, I'll keep updating it

Work In Progress:
Helpful blog I am working on.
Contains:
- Screenshots of confirmed kills since I've started, updated daily (unless I don't see anything)
- Videos showing the flight paths of Vyragosa, and one of the TLPD (all four flight paths)
- Soon to come: Spawn locations. Have two figured out, but I'm working on screen shots to prove, as well as the other locations.
http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.ListAll&friendId=387788459
I am determined to do all I can to help debunk the myths of the Time-Lost Proto-Drake, down to every spawn location (this is going to take a while XD). Hopefully what I've found thus far will help you. :)

Vyragosa spawned today around 12:35. So just count up 24 hours and subtract 1 hour?

Right, I tryed this method/theory and for me it didnt work ;( Vyragosa died at 16:05 pm on the 1st (got skinned so no despawn)
then later that night i camped all night and Vyragosa was killed at 04:35 am, so i woke up at 9:10 am game time (had to look after my brother who was home sick) and have been camping at 28.65 (Frozen lake) for 8 hours now, Im still there atm and I have been taking a few patrol routes but have seen nothing yet... Wish me luck! PLEASE

Nothing spawned on the 11 hr nor 23 hr mark on my server so the theory maybe bunk or just pure luck. Good theory though... I continue to wait for my TLPD

Okay i'm with the 23hr spawn time after vyra, but, yesterday it was 23hrs after vyra had spawned in the valkyron town, i waited just outside so as not to have to be attacked by the other mobs, and me being a hunter i can track them pair so red dot come flying along however it was not time-lost instead it was vyra again. So perhaps its random between the pair?

Just got my proto lastnight at 4.45am server time. I originally had an auto-clicker clicking the /tar time /tell you etc. macro but found when i targetted a mob my chat box got spammed so much i started to lag. So i ended up using the auto-clicker to click a macro that didn't do anything just so I didn't dc and had NPCscan on while i slept with the speakers turned up.
2nd day of doing that overnight and I got it.
I was camping at the frozen lake just south of Valkyrion (perfectly level with the hole in the side of Temple of Storms) and I wake up to Time-lost patting towards me from Valky just below where i was hovering, so he still flys pretty high.
Exorcism to tag, bubble, and it was over in about 10 seconds.
I was shaking so bad, and had to double check in the morning again to make sure I hadn't dreamt it.
Dunno if this helps anyones theory but I killed Vrya 2 days before at 8.27pm server time.
Thats 32 hours difference, and i know Vyra or Time-lost didn't spawn in between those times.
Some people say the've seen it up after 6 hours, this just shows how random it is.
Not giving out my character name or server because im sure someone will report me,
goodluck all!

I killed him this morning at 6:35 on boulderfist US. I have to say that the theory is right.
My buddy said he killed TLPD at 7::41am on june the 3rd. 24 hours later Vyragosa spwan right over Bor's Breath and I killed him.
So since it had been 24 hours since I killed Vyragosa. I woke up at 6:30 logged on. 5 mins later there he was coming to my way.
I aggroed him and BAM he was all mine.
I have been camping for 2 weeks now and the 24 hour minus one hour theory worked for me.
Good hunting

I saw Vyragosa dead at the frozen lake in Bor's Breath, then i saw the Time-Lost Proto Drake dead in the same spot, then again i saw Vyragosa there and killed her. So i started thinking that besides the multi spawn point probably that spot was lucky and decided to hunt the TLPD. After the last server restart my npcscan detected Vyragosa, I saw her getting killed by another player at 18.30 on 4th June. Thanks to Swaggah theory I came back after 23h from Vyragosa death and after 40 minutes camping the frozen lake, the Time-Lost Proto Drake spawned right behind me. I killed it exactly 23h 40min after Vyragosa got killed. I'm probably really lucky but in my experience the Bor's Breath frozen lake is the right spot to camp the mob. Killed at 18.10 on 5th June.
The 23h Theory worked for me too. Thanks to Swaggah for the hint. :)

Spotted him flying the Frosthold path at 8.48PM (PST) on my server after a few days worth of camping. Coordinates are 36.3, 67.7 when I tagged and killed him. He wasn't flying very high above ground, probably 40 or 30 yards above the frozen river bed. Really recommend _NPCScan to everyone that's camping for him. It will automatically alert you when TLPD is loaded into your Cache and you don't have to spam the macro when you are flying around. Have fun drake hunters!

Finaly got my TLPD today, 7th of June at around 1:52am, was a bad night for me as my run in Ulduar 10 went suprisingly very bad so I thought I'd camp for TLPD using _NPCScan.. I was on my xbox and my brother was on my PC looking up a vid on youtube when he heard the NPC alert and called me over, I targeted TLPD and started shaking alot :S as i flew towards it my heart started beating faster and I began to lag more and more, I thought i was going to get a DC or someone come and tag it just before me, I flew into it and used Heroic Throw (I am a warrior) ued snowfall lager and killed in 10 secs as a tank, co ords of corpse were 25.66 at the frozen lake, It was flying up the waterfall heading west flying from the east, exactly the same path my friends kill was exactly 7 days ago, it took longer than i expected to despawn, around 35-40 mins :S

This drake broke my heart today.
I started hardcore camping again recently, all in all I've probably put in at least 70 hours so far, camping anywhere from 6-12 hours on any given day, without any sort of autoclicker. I killed Vyragosa twice yesterday, once at 3:21 AM, and another at 10:17 PM. Both at Bor' Breath.
I had a good feeling about him spawning soon, since, as I mentioned in my first post here, he always seems to spawn on a Sunday on my server. I don't know why, maybe that's one of the variables the GM mentioned in another poster's comment here (for my server at least). But I was determined to camp as much as possible today.
I went to bed a few hours after killing Vyragosa last, and set my alarm to wake me up six hours after she had spawned. I woke up, waited around for an hour, then determined that I would try again at the 12 hour mark.
I wasn't able to sleep this morning, so I logged onto my DK alt for a minute, and then my main, who has been doing the camping. I moved down Bor's Breath a bit, NPCScan went nuts, and I was shocked to see Time Lost. My heart lept into my throat, and I thought my long search had finally been over. I clicked on his little portrait, and I saw he was already dead, close to where Vyragosa spawned for me last. The same place I have been camping for days and days. Three hours after I had logged. Let me tell you, it's a horrible feeling. The only solace I had was watching the 79 Alliance that killed him fall off the cliff and die after another Hordie attacked him.
I waited nearly half an hour for him to despawn at 9:21 AM. I realized that if I had logged on only a few minutes earlier, my searching really would have been over. On one hand, it's really encouraging to actually see him again, as I haven't seen the body for a few months. On the other....wow, ouch. This kind of disappointment is really frustrating.
Oh well. Congrats to you, Mr. Alliance, wherever you are.

Well, I usually dont post comments on rare pets/mounts etc. but this one I feel is just a bit different. So, I learned about this mount back around the end of december/ beginning of january, and made a targetting macro that I must admit i have clicked probly 10,000 times or so while flying through storm peaks. The other day i was flying through Storm Peaks doing my JC daily once again randomly clicking my /tar macro and there was the tlpd. Swooped down and got it to attack me, flew over to a ledge and killed it. So, after 6 months or so of clicking that stupid Fn thing i finally have the tlpd. And to all the people that just dont think they are ever gonna get this mount ill leave you with this; I usually have really terrible luck with mount drops. I am currently running Sethekk Halls with druid friend, soloing ZG, kara, and strat (over 200+ runs for rivendare charger) and every once in a while getting someone to come with me to do H MgT and of all the times ive ran these not one time has a rare mount ever dropped so maybe this is blizz's way of making up for it. :) GL all

So last night i was hunting time-lost with the macro mentioned down the page. i was herbing along the way and wouldn't you know it Vyragosa got targeted. I accidently went the wrong way but helped the one that taged her down her as he was sure to fail. She spawned at the broken brigde above the harpies at exactly 2105 servertime (cairine). I have seen time lost in the same area on 3 other occasions but did not know about the mount drop the first 2xs and the last one was not able to tag her. ALL SIGHTINGS OF TIME LOST WERE WITHIN A 15MIN WINDOW OF THE ABOVE TIME.
Being lvl 77 the first 2xs and seing 80 E scared me lol what luck now im destined to hunt her forever.
BTW the guy that taged Vyragosa was using and addon "? rare" if it helps use it and happy hunting

I recently started searching for this elusive mob, sometimes discouraged by the lack of success that others have had. So after pouring through these comments and other threads on the TLPD, I wanted a little bit of clarification.
I have been doing fairly regular patrols of Bor's Breath, EOTM and Brunnhildar and I've been spamming a simple macro to target Vyragosa/TLPD. I've also been flying near Garn and K3 after watching that popular Youtube video of the guy trailing the Drake. But Swaggah's post has made me think about reconsidering this tactic. I've been patrolling Bor's Breath for up to 6 hours and seen no evidence of Vyra or TLPD and I need a corpse sighting or a kill to start the 23 hour timer. So first off, I was wondering whether you guys think an 18-24 hour camp of the Frozen Lake in Bors would be a good plan to find Vyra.
Secondly, I've been reading alot about different macroes for targeting the mobs. I don't really want to get a ban for using an auto-click but constantly manual-spamming a target macro is a pain in the ass. Can anyone give me a better way of doing that?
Finally, I don't want to come across the TLPD and fail to kill it due to a fumbling of buttons and dodgy tactics. I'm confident I can down it on the ground, but should I fly through it to aggro (also tagging it because I'm a mage and we have molten armour)? I'm worrying about the fact that I might lose aggro if I try and pull it to the ground too fast on a mount.
Any response would be appreciated - you can downrate if you want but I'm fairly new to this and could use some honest help :) - Metaraminol.

I spent about 6 months looking for the tlpd . This is what I learned in my search. def share spawn points and paths but I dont think they share timers . From what I could tell time lost just spawns when it spawns and has nothing to do with when vyragosa douse.
He spawned for me at 150am server time on aman'thull and vyragosa had spawned earlyer def was not 6 hour gap more like three.
I killed vyragosa more times than I could be bothered counting in my hunt and now have triples of most of the leather head pieces she drops so i got a realy good idea of there spawn points. I actually found there is three spots at bb and the frozen river alone and at least two more at eng of the makers. The pat routs they take dep totally on the spot they spawn at and they always go the same pat rout from the same spawn point only thing that changes is the direction
I also found they seem to spawn at quarter past half past and quarter to the hour.
Well that's my input on the matter i hope it helps someone find there tlpd only other thing i might suggest is try camping one spot that's how i got mine in the end and goin off how many vyra kills i got once i started doing that ide say its the way to go.
Happy hunting guys :) pics of kill and spot in link

I have another sad story to report.
He was killed at 1:17 pm on the Windrunner server, June the 9th.
I had been camping him for 9 days SOLID. By solid I mean staggering my sleep, cooking easy meals, showering once a week. Yes, I'm hardcore when I have a goal.
I was upstairs arguing with my step-dad and I finally gave up and went back to my computer. BOOM, TLPD was on my NPCscan! I freaked out and flew his path, only to find on of the most well known jerks on my server, Unstopped, had him tagged. This same person almost ninja looted t7 gloves from me in an OS10 run approx. three weeks earlier.
Seeing this happen has left the worst taste in my mouth imaginable. I've decided he is no longer worth my effort and decided to move on.

He whispered me before the fight threatening to boot me from the group if I didn't pass on the gloves. I disagreed, we killed the boss, I won the roll. He then griefed me, and the entire raid about it. After enough people chimed in on my side, he finally gave me the loot. But not before making a large amount of childish insults.)

Camped him for 9 solid days. I missed him today by 3 minutes. He was on my NPCscan, but I was afk at the time.
Edit; got him on the 11th day of camping! I almost had a heart attack when I spotted him. This was easily one of the most epic experiences I've had while playing WoW.
He was flying south through the snowdrift plains. I assume he spawned on the Ulduar flight path.

Does NPCScan show vyragosa or TLPD when TLPD is found?
评论来自
Metaraminol
It'll show the mob (whether Vyragosa or TLPD) in the bottom right of your screen - it will not target it however from what I've read, so you really need to be quick to look around if you see your screen flashing. I think I'd suffer a cerebral bleed if the bar went grey before I caught it . . .
These rares are bastards - I'm gonna start hardcore camping over Bor's Breath (something in the region of 10-18 hours a day) . . . I hope I'll get somewhere.

Vyra and Dirkee do NOT share spawn timers with each other, and assuming that TLPD shares a spawn timer with Vyra, Dirkee has nothing to do with either of them. I killed Vyra and Dirkee was standing right next to where I killed her, they were both alive at the same time. I've seen TLPD dead twice and killed it once on my alt, and I've seen Vyra dead multiple times - in the same places that I've seen TLPD, so I guess they share flight paths.

So I found this rare today after 4 months of tracking it down. It was 7 in the morning, and when I found it I started shaking like a leaf, couldnt belive my eyes. He was flying really high at Brunnhildar Village. I mounted up, doted him and hit the ground (was so out of my head that I forgot I have levitate ouch). Started fighting it, still completly out of my head, brain freeze I guess, got him to 50% then an ally mage comes along, he was out herbing ofc, didnt even look for the mob.
The mage silence me, kills me, kills the mob, loot the dragon, /laugh at me like 50 times, mounts up on his new well earned mount and flys away.
I was heartbroken, and so mad at myself for having a brain meltdown. I can take a mage np but at this stage my head was away on vacation, after tracking this mob for 4 months and never even seen his corpse lets just say I wasnt myself at this stage.
I think I just missed my one and only chance on this one, cant see it ever happening again tbh.
A sad sad wow players confession.

Ive Started to farm this Drake a few day's ago and did alot of reading and watching video's . However i do have a few question's .
1. Npcscan , what is the range that it will detect a mob ? Does anyone know this ? I didn't look much into it but was curious if anyone knew.
2. The most common place where people tend to camp is Bor's Breath just in front of Valkyrion . I have seen 2 Vera kill's there . What other place is good to be camped besides there ? A poster calimed that Brunnhildar Village is good since one of the Spawn points his right over it . Is there anymore spawn points that can be confirmed ?
Thanks for the responces in advance . Hopefully i can bag me one soon and get back to sleeping and playing some wow again besides camping this mob XP

Basing on my encounter with vyragosa, npc can be targeted from 340 yards in straight line. (i measure it on the same height level as Vyragosa with help of cartographer).
When my macro hit I was delivering 'maitaining discipline' daily. At Brunhildar village.
My first rare killed in Northrend. too bad it wasnt TLPD.
Hunt continues.

I got My Time Lost Proto Drake today, around 5-6pm PST on Eonar realm. This is THE only drake (proto) i wanted. I would fly through Bor's Breath and through the area where the Storm Drakes hangout. I happen to stop near a cave near the Engine, and go mine some saronite. I come out and head through the Storm Drake area to make a sweep.. and behind coming towards me.. i see the TLPD! I immediately fly near it to grab its attention, and brought him close enough to the ground where i wouldn't loose to much health.. after that.. history. :) I'm one happy DK.

this is an elite very rare Reins of the Time-Lost Proto-Drake sapwn..u can locate it in storm peak.. if you're very lucky to find it.. kill it and it'll drop 100% .
It's spawn timer hasn't been confirmed yet, but it's at least 6 hours; however, it could be much, much higher.
Here are the coordinates that I have spotted it at:
- Pats around Engine of the Makers
in a little valley north of valkyrion

Ok... I wasn't even farming this mount i never knew people were so into it. I just ran into it..
But i was flying on the Loaned Gryphon from K3 lol, and i saw a cool looking dragon so i clicked it and bam! it was a rare spawn.
So now people yell at me for having no life and apparently spending months waiting for it to spawn, it's funny cuz it just ran into me while i was flyin around.
Yeah sorry you guys spend too much time farming this mount, it is cool and i love it.. but i wouldn't spend months waiting for it to spawn.
It is easy to kill and flies just high enough for you to shoot it or cast a spell.
well good luck everyone, don't spend too much time on this spawn.

Having read about this wonderful mount only a few days ago, and resigning myself to never seeing one, the following occoured (EU, Hellscream):
Flying around Storm Peaks doing some quests on my lvl 78 prot warrior, getting annoyed at wow crashing with the damn error 132 and decided to head back to a town to log.
As I'm flying, just north of Frost Hold, I see the beauty, ten feet from the floor on the side of a cliff. Dismount, tag, nuke..she took maybe 5% off me, Loot, explode with happiness.
She also dropped some Boe blue caster item and a bag of goodies: cloth and pots.
Now i just need to lvl him to 80 to be able to use it....
Good luck to all you would-be drake hunters, remember, if you have faith and a total acceptance that you won't get one, things may look up.

Hello!
I've camped this drake for around 400 hours. So far, i assume:
The drake shares spawn timer with Vyragosa.
There are fixed spawn points and routes.
The theory i found a little bit higher has some sense.
Here is a few of my kills, i've written down (just few, since i was checking the theory):
Date - - what
31.5 - - Time-Lost Proto Drake (i DC'd as i pulled him, when i logged back in, 77 rogue killed it infront of my face)
5.6 - - Vyragosa
6.6 - - Vyragosa
6.6 - - Vyragosa (skinned)
7.6 - - Vyragosa (skinned)
8.6 - - Vyragosa
Anyways, i got my drake yesterday at 3:06.. here is the screenshot:

You can also check a video i've recorded at youtube, which includes the best map i've found. Green dots are Dirkee spawn points.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCdwYYf6-B0
I have killed over 40 vyragosas and i saw the drake 6 times in total. I've finaly got it so im off with it :D:D
Good luck to all of you who are still seeking it.

PS: Check my other videos aswell, there are some guides to farm mounts and such.

I decided I wanted to give this a try during a rainy afternoon, and got supremely lucky. At around 12:00 server time I installed NPCScan and flew to the coods suggested by this discussion (29,66). I sat back and watched a movie and played some Xbox while keeping WoW in the background, making sure to hit the spacebar ever 10-15 min to avoid afk and subsequent disconnect. At about 5:15 server, an extremely loud sound issued from my speakers and sure enough, right below me, was the freshly spawned drake, still on the ground, having not taken off yet. Just as he was taking off, I aggroed him to the ground, and nuked him. About five seconds later (mind you this is a space of about 45 seconds from alert to kill) I was ganked by three horde, but to my delight, I had killed the drake before they could kill me, and the reins were mine. Those coods definitely seem to be a confirmed spawn point, and as well it was less than 24 hours between spawns, and a fellow guildmate got his mount yesterday. I highly recommend sitting on those points, and using NPCScan, it was infinitely useful. Good luck to everyone in the future!

I noticed that the /tar command may be altitude independent. I flew to the very top of the storm peaks and could still /tar mobs on the ground even though they were far out of my view. With this in mind, i believe it is possible to /tar the proto drake regardless of how high it is flying.

Sorry Swaggah, but your theory was proven wrong twice this week. I watched Vyra die in Valkyrion and came back 30 min early to the 23 hr TLPD timer, he didn't spawn. Even waited past the 24 hr mark and nothing :(
Vyra was again killed monday afternoon by my guildie, he got the achievement with it. I was camping in Bor's Breath at 4:22 am (roughly 13 hrs later) when TLPD spawned right behind me. Easy tag and bag :D
Some advice for those camping him or plan to start, listen up:
1. You MUST download Npcscan and utilize it. SOOO vastly better than spamming a macro hotkey for hours/days on end.
2. Don't fly around. I picked coords 28,65 which is just barely south of Valkyrion hovering over the frozen lake that is right outside it. I chose this because this single point has 3 of his flight paths go through it, and because there is a confirmed spawn point at that location, he will spawn just inside Valkyrion above the first building on the right. He is also rumored to spawn at the cave that is right there too.
3. Stop "looking" for the TLPD. In my case, I was playing a lowbie alt on my laptop with my main on my desktop camping. Basically don't just sit there and "wait" for him to appear. Turn on Npcscan and just let your toon sit at a location of your choosing and go do something else. If you have a TV or Xbox or anything else you can do to pass the time you will be much better off. Also a great time to do some studying or homework. I tell you this because if your flying around your going to miss him, and if you just sit and stare at your monitor all day your more and more likely to give up with each passing hour...
4. Lastly pick a strategy and stick with it. I chose my spot and camping hours. I explained my camping spot, and I chose the hours of 12 am to 6 am due to roughly 75% of the kills taking place between these hours. You are also a lot less likely to have camping competition.
I camped for 2 months, roughly 40 hours worth of time in Storm peaks looking. The moment I least expected there he was. Happy hunting :D

Downrate my comment if you wish, but i feel this needs to be noted.
I saw it. Gracefully flying in the sky, the time-lost proto-drake, but my mount was a bit slow to catch it. I began to slowly aproach it as a...blood elf....stole and killed it.
I hate blood elves forever now. Just because of that. *cries*

June 24 @ 3:44 A.M Server time , Medivh realm i bagged my TLPD .
Info on kill - I was camping at Bor's Breath facing Valkyron Village . Was alt-tabed out watching video's on youtube when my NPC scan goes off . Tab right quick back in to see it was him . Heart racing i fly torwards the village to find nothing , turn around there he was . Use my taunt grab him use brew to fly down and its history from there .
How ever i got really lucky for 2 reasons .
1. There was a hunter that i have been sharing Vyra kills with and such since i started farming him . He was there tonight sometime during when i was alt-tabed he logged off for a few minutes . TLPD poped when he was logged . After i killed him he logged right back on to find him dead .
2. My GF is the best ! Tonight on our way home from diner she bought me a Energy drink . When i was gonna call it quites and log to go to bed i decided to get my Drink and tough it out . It payed off ! I love you babe :)

The spawn timer has been confirmed by Game Masters (and by the personal experience of many players) to be randomly generated, with an upper and lower bound. Don't expect to be able to predict when these mobs will spawn, because they just don't work that way.

25-6: Just can't believe what just happened. Was just finished with some midsummer achievements and a MGT mount run. Camped TLPD the whole afternoon, haven't seen him or Vyragosa. Reminded myself that I needed to check de 23-hour timer again. So went to Dalaran ---->> Storm Peaks. Around 1.47 I arrived. (I killed Vyra the night before around 4.15, so I was in time) Seeing my Troll Hunter mate up in the air. Stayed for 1 min. at the frozen lake, than went to the Engine to see if there were any spawns of Vyragosa. Nothing, after 1 min. I went back to the frozen lake when the npscan went off: TLPD dead. This was at 1.50. So this all happened in just minutes! First I thought the Troll killed him. But he was still up in the air, AFK. It was a Druid who camped him also for a while on a spot just in front of Valkyrion. If I didn't went to the engine and stayed at the frozen lake, he was mine. This is the second time I missed him in minutes. The whole day I had a feeling he was going to spawn, also because I didn't see Vyra the whole day. But I won't give up..! I will stick to the 23-hour theory, and the 12.00-18.00 camping time. Hunt continues...

Update on Medivh Server -
On June 24 3:44 A.M Server time i got my TLPD . Same day around 4:00 P.M TLPD respawned . Ive read all these post and for some the 24 hour Theory seemed to work but in my case on 10 or more Vera kills that i have tryed this theory it didnt work for me . However after a Vera kill i usually started camping no later than 11 hours later . Using a 12 hour theory and most of the times this is when i have seen spawns of Vera. In this case 12 hours later another TLPD did Spawn at the same spot that i got my kill . Right over Bor's Breath . To conclude this shows that TLPD can respawn more than once a week and even the same day for that matter .
Best of luck to all Hunters again .

My wife, who i have obviously taught well! Was flying to Frosthold to do the Frostborn daily when NPC_scan alarmed Time-Lost. She then flew down to the ravine and TLPD was flying along at about the same height as the witches in the area. Aggroed him down to a ledge and killed him and a witch at the same time. (80 Lock with no pet out!) LOL
Now we have our great mount to boot around on! Exact coords were 29,70 at 4:39am Server Time. On the Scilla realm.

Ok so I've killed Vyragosa twice today.
1st Kill was at 9:20AM, corpse disappeared at 9:50ish
2nd Kill was at 3:52PM, I think this puts truth to the 6 hour spawn time, and they were both in same area. Coming from the canyon next to Valkyrion.

So as I promised,I'll reveal my results.
The 23-hour theory didn't worked for me,and TLPD was killed in period of 18hrs(last time i checked cache) ~ 22hrs(time I logged in and he was already dead,according to the cache) after Vyra's death.By the way,maybe there was another Vyra's kill after i killed her yesterday,I don'know.

swaggahs theory is most likely false, nice to have somthing to stick to though rather than looking randomly to begin with, ive been trying the theory out for the past 2 - 3 weeks and whenever i find vynd i have waited 23hrs and either vynd has spawned or nout has appeared, perhaps it was caught somewhere else on the route, and nothing on the routes. I personally think its better to sit and camp at the frozen lake, as its the most popular spot, and get an npc checker also i recomend to people dont hardcore camp cos you wont get it, im camping every so often now found vyra many many times and when i camped straight i probably wasted more time as people still got him. i think i find more spawns by flying aimlessly around northrend found four in the last 3hrs including vyra

One thing i can say for sure , i reccomende you to not camping whole day. If u kill VYragosa then after 6 hours u can just stay at one spot and pray about spawn of TLPD. First week of my camping be like 12 hour per day , after week i have killed only two Vyragosa and dont seen TLPD. Also this first week my guildmate get one TLPD. After 2 weeks break from farming it my friend told me yesterday about 8 p.m. that someone killed VYragosa just about 6 p.m. THen i get on our Ventrilo server , staying with my mates , talking ,watching movie on youtube , listen music and about 2 a.m . that proto drake just spawned right behind me. My silverdragon addon make noise , i flew up , seen him , pull him to ground and kill. HAHHAHA i can say its freak feeling , my heart beat like crazy . But i succed.
Good luck with your hunting guys , its not that hard as everyone think.

I've been hunting this beast for over a month. I watched every "Wipe Out!" episode there is on youtube, posted countless times on the warlock forums, and pretty much kept the TV on throughout the camping experience. I think I watched The Dark Knight on HBO more times that I'd like to. I recently finished "Arthas: Rise of the Lich King" during this camp. As much is this is a break from being at the keyboard at all times, this still makes you question the value of this mount, and your own sanity for even thinking this was a worthy idea.
But for some hellish reason, I still wake up, do the cooking, jewelcrafting, and explorer's league daily; and head back to that spot at the frozen lake near Valk for the day, until raid time. I'm not sure if I'm as hardcore as you all, but 12 hours a day (2pm-8pm|12am-6am) is pretty insane for me. I'm also in a guild capable of completing Heroic: Glory to the Ulduar Raider, but as an insurance policy, I still camp this drake. Everytime I feel like I want to quit, I watch a video of the drake being used, and it's "sneaking around" animation on land is priceless. I've killed Vyragosa 4 times. To me, she's a tease. You have _NPCScan's ring of blood horn when you're alt tabbed and you heart stops, until you see a blue dragon avator. That's my experience as a hunter so far.
P.S. I'm seriously considering pushing this creature on the Cryptozoology list of the world. Next to Big Foot and Nessie, you'll see Time-Lost Proto Drake. Just you watch!

Hello fellow Time-Lost seekers!
I have been camping this guy for 3 months now, and for over 200 hours. I have killed Vyragosa 18 times and seen the Time-Lost Proto Drake dead 3 times. The most recent time he spawned just north of where I was and was on his way toward me, until a level 79 killed him. D: I like to camp at Bor's Breath and do some patrols every few minutes.
But anyway, I thought I'd post some tips for you TLPD hunters!
First and foremost, download _NPCscan or SilverDragon. They are completely legal addons that will make your search so much easier. I like to make it so _NPCscan will only alert me when the TLPD comes by and plays that loud noise so I know who it is. SilverDragon tells me when Vyragosa comes by and plays a different noise, so I don't get my hopes up when I hear it.
Once you have _NPCscan or SilverDragon, go to "Sound and Voice" and check "Sound in Background". This way you can be tabbed out surfing the web but still hear anything that goes on in WoW.
Find something to do while you camp and don't just sit there staring at your character! Watch movies, look up funny videos on youtube, read, talk to friends or family... anything to keep yourself sane while you whittle away the hours waiting for the TLPD to come by.
DON'T LEAVE STORM PEAKS! The second TLPD I found dead was killed right where I was camping after I left to do a quick Vault of Archavon. I regret doing it!
Don't follow the 6/11/23 hour theories. While it is possible to have one of the drakes spawn at this time, their timers are completely random, and in my opinion can spawn anywhere from 6-24 hours.
Pace yourself. While you'll probably get your drake faster by doing 24 hour camps, it really isn't good for your health or sanity! Plus if you don't find the drake fast enough, you will probably get burned out and want to give up. Set aside 6-12 hours a day to camp.
Finally, DON'T use auto-clickers! You can get banned for using them. There are a lot of people camping this drake, and if they notice that you are on 24/7, they are going to get suspicious and probably report you to eliminate the competition. This mount is not worth the hours you put in to leveling your characters, so it's not a great idea.
All in all, there is no easy way to get this mount. It's all about being in the right place at the right time, being patient, and being lucky. Don't give up everyone, your Time-Lost Proto Drake is out there! And hopefully mine is too...
EDIT: July 1st, 2009. FINALLY GOT MY DRAKE! I was just sitting at Bor's Breath when _NPCscan goes off. Sure enough, there the beautiful beast is! I can't believe it, he's flying down from the hill to the left. I try to fly up and tag him, popping a Snowfall Lager, but miss it. Luckily there was nobody else around, so I just flew up again and dragged him to the ground. He was mine! ^^ This drake holds a special place in my heart, because it was my 100th mount.
Thank you so much for your tips, everyone. Good luck to the rest of you who are trying to get him. Take it from me-- the mount is worth it.

Just got this after around 15 minutes of waiting (Yes, I'm a lucky bastard). Was waiting in Bor's Breath with my freshly downloaded SilverDragon addon waiting, then I heard a "WHAM" sound, and then got it, with no competition, perhaps because it was 5am server time, or just because I got lucky, but either way I'm shocked and Happy.

So about 3 days ago I bought my artisan riding after 5 days of gathering gold for the skill. I decided pretty fast that I wanted to search for this creature.
So I started flying around in The Storm Peaks, 2 hours and I got tired. Decided to call it. After reading abit about the creature here I came back the day after and after 1 hour I spotted this mob while spamming my macro.
I came as it SPAWNED and the location was 31,69 near Valkyrion. The clock was around 00:15 in-game time EU servers. Killed on Tarren Mill EU.
Good luck hunting peeps :)

I die a little inside every time I see a gold dragon off in the distance only to find out that it's a Bronze Drake. Even though I have NPCscanner and it should notify me with a sound, I always get fooled.

A thanks astr0mance, on the tip about the "Sound in Backround" I'd been trying to figure it out for a while when guys were posting, "Watching Youtube vids and my addon went off.." as hardcore a WoW player I am..sad to say I never knew this thanks much! Definetly a plus to the time hunting! (Spent 90 Hrs so far....in 4 days..talk about crazy) Will come w/ time...everything does. Pce.

Also for your own good, all.
Practice, practice, practice! - bagging things in the sky with Snowfall Lager, like the blue protos outside Brunnhilder. When you find the TLPD, it will be heart racing and 1/2 of the things you normally do, you'll wind up forgetting simply because of the heat of the moment. Important Info: Snowfall Lager has a global cooldown with your spells. If you press the Lager hotkey directly after an instant spell to tag it, you won't notice it fail to work until it's too late. I did this on Vyragosa, which spawned outside Frost Hold heading toward Valkyrion. Thankfully, it was just Vyragosa (which I've already killed 6 times) and not the TLPD.

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 just got this sucker yesterday afternoon--at 12:30 ST on Blade's Edge in The Foot Steppes. Coords were 43, 58. I was just sitting on a peak on my flyer writing in guild chat, when he flew right over me and I aggroed him. A serious WTF moment, as I wasn't even LOOKING for him.
Got him to the ground and took him out easy as pie with my 80 hunter. Looted him and just sat there for a second in disbelief. Whenever I look for one of these elusive rare spawns, I come up empty handed. I just sit there not looking and WHAMO! Needless to say, some of my guildees were a bit perturbed, as some had been looking for him for weeks.
Too bad. He's mine now. =P

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?
NOTE: I posted this in the front of the page as well. So don't get confused :P

I tried the macro to see if the drake had dropped since realm maintaince.
I logged in in Storm Peaks about two minutes after my realm came up. I checked the /who list, and I was the only one in Storm Peaks. Next second I clicked the macro, and I got the link to the mount in my chat window. If I get the link it means it has dropped, right? Its just like a normal /w otherwise?
Can someone really kill it, skinn it and then log off again in less than two minutes? I know there could be alliance in the zone without me knowing it, but I still got the link right after I logged in.
Am I doing it wrong? This is what I wrote in my macro:
/script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage "\124cffa335ee\124Hitem:44168:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0\124h\124h\124r"

If that what happend to you it means Someone who logged in had Time lost in the bag but could not use it because he dont have The skill for flying it. That's why It's better to farm it at 80 or at 77 if u have Epic fly. So u can use it than ruening others but if it just spawn randomly why not kill it :)?
But Caen that's the problem it's not wrong with your macro it works 100% and nothing can go wrong if u dont Write anything else on it

Well, been camping the same spot for about 8-12 hours a day since Monday (June 29th). I've seen Vyragosa twice, killed her once for the achievement. No TLPD sightings yet, and when I log in I always ask /1 if anyone has heard anything about either spawning/being killed (of course I always get a bunch of crap for asking - not sure why that is).
Even though I haven't got TLPD yet, or even seen him for that matter - it's been a memorable experience. My computer is located right by our living room where the TV is - so my partner and I watch shows recorded on the DVR with my computer volume turned all the way up, and I randomly come back and hit a button to keep me from afk'ing out. However, last night, an alliance rogue thought it'd be funny to get on his Red Drake and let his dragon have a wing flapping seizure in front of me. Being that it is almost the 4th of July, I thought at first that someone was outside shooting off some firework fountains - but nope. Just a random alliance being annoying. I /shoo'd him away, he left, came back later and decided to get off his mount, stab me, and then fall to his death.
I've also been camped by a Warlock and Priest, and after they killed me and repeatedly teabagged my corpse - the priest got on his TLPD mount just to rub it in my face.... AND JUST AS I TYPED THIS.... NPCScan went off - Vyragosa again. So make that 3 times I've seen her. Was heading towards Valkyrion from Bor's Breath. 2:04pm Server Time. Not sure if that helps anymore.

Been camping him for about a week and a half, total about 80+ hours so far. Killed Vyra about 7 or 8 times. I still have most of the shoulders in my inventory that she drops LOL.
My camp story is this, I was watching tv in the other room. NPCscan goess off. I RUN to my laptop and excitedly see it's TLPD over Valkyrion. I race over and hit the "5" key which is Icy Touch. I know I'm going to get bumped off my mount, but something goes a little wrong, I don't know what I did but somehow my actionbar got messed up and instead of doing Icy Touch, I did "Eat Food" and also my lager isn't on my bar. I fall to my death. Crap crap crap, I res and quickly go back only to miss the tag by a second or two while a Hordie tags and bags. I felt lower than low and mad at myself. Oh well, back to camping. This has become a personal vendetta, I have to see this through, I've spent too much time already to give up.
Hang in there fellow campers.

Today's been pretty lucky and my hunt has been going on 2 weeks right now (I know it's nothing compared to the veteran campers).
Now I have some screens showing the luck of Vyra spawning exactly 6 hrs from her corpse disappearing.
Kill 1: Jul 5, 2009 - 3:56 PM - (My Kill) Corpse Despawn - Witnessed Frost Hold spawn point from camping 28, 65.

(Do you notice Vyra's corpse start becoming transparent? It'd to SS exactly when she disappeared)
Kill 2: Jul 5, 2009 - 9:58 PM - (My Kill) Kill shot - Witnessed Frozen Waterfall spawn point from patrolling through Brunnhildar to the waterfall.
http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r10/tigasnake/WoWScrnShot_070509_215832.jpg
I did a patrol a few minutes before the kill 2 patrol.. so she HAD to have spawned at that point, otherwise I would have found her prior. What she did was a weird U turn toward the frozen river, as if to start heading to the Foot Steppes. At first when I saw her (judging from the pic), it looked like she was taking the Brunnhildar path and would presumably lower toward K3. But I followed her for about 30 secs and she did, indeed, make her way as if to hit Foot Steppes.
Hope this helps anyone!
Now to only have Time-Lost spawn, because I feel like I have Vyragosa's number pretty well.

With my post above saying that today was my lucky day. I stand by it with every ounce of me after today.
So here was the recap. I am slowly drifting to sleep. "Men of Honor" was on, which was always a favorite to me. (I know this will be corny to others but:)
Carl Brashear
: Forgive me sir, but to me, the Navy isn't a business. It's an organization of people who represent the finest aspects of our nation. We have many traditions. In my career, I have encountered most of them. Some are good, some not so good. I would, however not be here today were it not for our greatest tradition of all.
Captain Hanks
: And what would that be, Chief Brashear?"
Carl Brashear
: " Honor, sir"
Right after the end of that quote.. I heard it. The epic horn of the Amplitheatre of Anguish, which I've heard many times with disheartening results. There was the golden dragon itself. He was heading out of Valkyrion and going east toward where I was, at 28.65. My heart was on a rollercoast ride, with A.) waking up to loud noise.. and B.) seeing what I've wanted to see for weeks. Without a beat I dismounted with the Lager, and threw up a corruption.
http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r10/tigasnake/WoWScrnShot_070609_070602.jpg
Within seconds of a conflag and chaos bolt crit, this mythic beast was defeated.
http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r10/tigasnake/WoWScrnShot_070609_070620.jpg
I started on June 24th, with a random kill of Vyragosa one day heading to do a Storm Peaks daily. After that, it sparked a goal inside me that I underestimated. A goal of extreme patience, which required colossal ambition.
I would like to thank the wowhead posters of this huge thread for all of the theories, facts, and guides. 28,65 paid off tremedously. Secondly, I'd like to personally thank Brenna (astr0mancer) for coming on Moon Guard and wishing my luck. It was very sweet and selfless.
Lastly, Victory shot:

P.S. This drake came to me at 7:06 AM.. on 7/06/09. Coincedence? Most likely.

Omg i found and killed him on the Server Bloodfeather when i was 77 and started lvling storm peaks is it usual that this happens or am i one of those self righteous lucky bastards?
i thought it to be funny since i farmed him for ages with an 80 i have on another realm i believe it was like... 4 months then i started lvling a new char and got it. this is something i think of atm is that he only spawns or come's near players that don't look for him as if a gm is sitting there watching your every step etc to see if you doing something else but i actually believe that he only comes when you don't look for him i know it sounds strange but is there someone here that can confirm this?

Keep your faith guys.
I know my 2 weeks of camping success story isn't nearly as epic as yours will be with over 2 months under your belts. Just remember. Camping most of the time and patrolling sometimes is infinitely better than patrolling all the time.. or camping all the time. Gotta do both. I'd love to say that 28,65 is a great spot.. but there's always a 25% chance that Vyra or TLPD will spawn on the Brunnhildar patrol, which 28,65 does not cover. That is why doing.. say.. 3 patrols an hr is recommended. In fact. I've killed Vyra heading north of Brunnhildar at an odd time of the hour.. like 11:13.
I know random spawn is random but this was my log:

A warning for those of you on a PvP server...
I've put in 80+ hours searching for this Drake. I've poured over these comments on a continual basis. I've never wanted anything more in this game then this mount.
So, I did my usual camping for around 7 hours this morning at my usual spot, Bor's Breath. I've left previous posts on here with dates and times of Vyragosa sightings, if anyone is interested. Anyway, after having no luck, I logged onto some alts for a while, then finally back onto my main to settle in for an hour or two more of camping.
Much to my absolute shock, NPCScan goes off immediately, and I see Time Lost in all his glory, NOT dead (always hurts when it goes off and he's dead), untagged. IIRC, he was about to path down the frozen lake either towards the Engine of the Makers or the Waterfall/K3. I couldn't be sure because I didn't let him get that far. I maintained a clear enough head to moonfire him and drink my logar.
I saw his health going down rapidly and my heart sank as I saw an Alliance Shaman attacking him. I thought I had lost the tag somehow, only to realize in great joy that when the mob was finally dead, it was sparkling! I did tag him first!
The Shaman was not pleased, and just as I reached for those elusive reigns, he killed me. Big surprise there, but in my joy I didn't let it bother me that much.
I quickly rezzed again only to discover that I could no longer loot Time-Lost! The Shaman killed me yet again, and then a third time. He finally tired of it and flew off in a rage, I would imagine.
Rezzing again, I found that whenever I tried to loot him I got stuck in the looting position, and if I flew directly over the body my character would freeze. For literally half an hour I tried, distraught, to de-bug him somehow and loot it, to no avail.
I put in a ticket, hoping to God I wouldn't be told "tough luck" by the GMs. The ticket queue was large (I'm still waiting), so, impatient, I decided to ask on the official customer service forums what would happen.
I was told that it would have to be researched, but as long as it was verified the kill really was mine, the reigns would be returned to me. A big relief, but much more hassle then it should have been.
So, if you are on a PvP server, and are being attacked after your kill, I would advise you
not
to loot until you're out of combat. I can't say for sure what made it bug out, but I wouldn't risk it. Let the offenders take out their anger first, and then grab your loot in peace so you can do some victory laps around Storm Peaks, instead of having to wait even longer for a mount you've already waited so patiently for.
Anyway, onto the info you all want:
Server: Haomarush US
Time: He was right in front of me when I logged and I didn't bother to look at the clock in my excitement, but he did despawn at 7:31 AM, so it's safe to assume a spawn time of 7:01 AM. As I mentioned he was probably heading towards the Engine or waterfall, so even though he has a reported spawn area over Valkyrion, I'm going to guess he really spawned near the Mountains north of it, as that's where I've seen Vyragosa spawn before, and that's where I've found him dead before. Of course he could have been on his Frosthold path as well.
Unfortunately I can't give you any more specifics then that, needless to say that camping at Bor's Breath was what worked for me.
Good luck guys

I found it easier to camp on the rock sticking out of the mountain near Valkyrion, just above the frozen lake, was using "_NPCScan" addon, just sat on the rock, had WoW in windowed mode, minimized it and watched a movie/read forums/played another game/afk'd, whatever, with the volume turned up, so the addon would beep when a rare was near.
This way will take a while depending on your luck but if Vyra or TLPD are in the area then you'll know and don't have to fly about looking all the time. Saw and killed Vyra about 5 times this way, she came from over the frosthold area, pretty high, so I just flew up, flame shocked and parachute cloaked down. In spare time I'd just log on, park my char there and go afk till I heard a beep or logged to do something else.
Eventually one of those beeps was TLPD, he was flying out of Valkyrion and towards frosthold, tagged him at the gate and brought him down. This was my second TLPD, have one on my druid too but then changed mains so wanted one on my shaman. (didn't use an addon for my druid, just good old macro spam) Took about 3 months on shaman just camping in spare time, and a few weeks on druid flying about non stop - got it near the blue proto field. Vyra and TLPD do share patrol routes from my experiences, or very similar paths if not the same.
I think the camping was the easier way, even though it took longer, because I could go away and do other stuff too, and it was pretty much my guaranteed kill as long as it flew in the range of my addon, so maybe this is worth trying in your spare time, GL.

When are they going to remove this to give it more value? like what they did with the
Black Proto Drake
?
Would be kinda cool, flying around on a mount no longer available.

Ok, I know that the most of you have camped for a long time for this beauty and thereby - You got more experience and knowledge about TLPD. I got mine this morning at 6.40 am.
At 10.10 pm the before this kill, I killed Vyragosa right where she spawned - On the mountain (on the edge) between Bor's and Frosthold. The corpse despawned 30 mins later, at 10.40.
So - It took 8 hours from the Vyragosa despawn until the TLPD spawned. I definately think there's a connection between those two rare mobs. And as far as I know, 6 am - 7 am, is a set spawn time. Everytime I've went there and camped that hour, I've got a Vyragosa kill (six kills).
I've only hardcore camped TLPD for two days, so I guess I was really lucky, but still, I tried this 6 am - 7 am spawn again. I camped Bor's Breath to 6.30 am. Found nothing. Started flying around, and thought of trying the Brunnhildar spawn point. Nothing there. I flew pass Brunnhildar and down the mountain (to Garm) and the NPCScan goes crazy. It was the TLPD. So I thought it had to be the Brunnhildar spawn. Flew there and found nothing, so I was looking for this monster for at least 5 mins before I got him tagged between the blue proto drake field and the Engine.
So the info I've got for you hunters is to try to camp/patrol at 6 am - 7 am. For me, I've always got a spawn. For me it was, as I said, EXACTLY 8 hours between the Vyragosa copse despawn to the TLPD spawn.
When I read the comments about the adrenaline rush you get, and that the heart goes wild when you target TLPD, I just laughed. But o'boy. I almost passed out tbh. It's such a great feeling, so don't give up people! You will get it :)

I thought I'd share my experience. I was just bored today and I thought "o what the heck I'll just camp a TLPD spot (29,67) and check on its wowhead comments in the meantime." So I thought I could always start using NpcScan like many do. So I downloaded and installed it and before I restarted WoW I cleared the cache. So I log in at that camping spot and go check out the NpcScan options. Then it showed TLPD was cached. And RIGHT at that moment it just flew right past me. I had no idea about any previous spawn or anything. So I guess I need a name change.

This was the first time after a 6 week TLPD-search break. I have only seen Vyragosa dead twice and killed Dirkee once.(That was only an hour before TLPD flew into me).
Good luck to you all!

Just got this baby after a solid 2 months of farming casually.
After I did my dailys I was ready to go to bed, but I went to check Bor's Breath first. There was nothing untill, out of the blue, NPC_scan hits with the message that TLPD has been spotted.
Chaos starts, and just when I turned around there was this wonderful golden dragon flying above the frozen lake. I target it, BoP myself and take it down within 10 seconds.

There needs to be an achievement; "So Much Time-Lost," or something of that nature, so players will have something to show for killing it if they don't want to use the mount. Seeing as how this mob is a rare, there's no reason not to have such a thing besides, y'know... The mount.

What may have happened in your case is the drake was killed by someone in the same phase as your friend. My guess is that when a mob is killed by someone, the corpse enters the killer's phase.

I found vyragosa today after installing npcscan and deciding to camp instead of following the paths randomly. What's the theory about its death time vs. the spawn time of a time-lost proto? Is it 6 hours after Vyra's death that the time-lost shows up? Either way I'm testing it tonight. It's been almost 6 hours since I got it... We'll see.
Here's the shot of Vyra when I found her.

The Cache Macro, the one that tries to see if the Time-Lost Proto Drake has been looted or not does not work how people are stating it does, maybe previously it did but as of recently is does not.
Servers have only been online for about 2 and half hours and when I first logged in I was stuck on Retrieving information (when servers were just up) as of now, it is able to retrieve the reins of the time-lost proto drake. And before you ask, yes I cleared my cache before I logged in and i cleared it again just to make sure it wasn't glitching or something.
Which unless Time-Lost Proto Drake spawned within that short amount of time, and was already downed and looted before Vyragosa; which the odds of that happening are WAY too low to be plausible. Considering that Time-lost did not spawn when servers first went online as I did a thorough check through ALL flight routes multiple times before camping.
I don't care if I'm here for months of 12+ hours a day camping and searching I WILL kill Time-Lost Proto Drake, the kill itself is worth it to me now even if he didn't drop a mount.

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.

Yesterday I've got my TLPD after 8 days spend on camping with like 18-20 hours/day. I was mad that after spending 7 days of camping I've never heared that some1 got it(macro confirm that) or saw him dead. I've started to camp him between the last 2 maintenances. A few hours after the last maintenance was over I've got it.
When I've started to camp for him, I've chosed the camping spot to be the frozen lake at Bor's Breath between the right house from Valkyrion and the mountain from Bor's Breath where he usualy spawns. If u realy wanna get a TLPD use that camp spot and dont move from it (28,64) cuz in that area there are 3/4 routes of the TLPD. Another thing is that u realy need to get the NPCScan addon. Go to the game settings, to Sound&Voice and active the Sound in background so u dont have to stay in game all day.
U also can use this macro if u wanna know if some1 looted him: /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") but u have to delete the Cache folder from your wow folder every time when some1 looted him.
Tips:Deactivate Frostbitten(thats for Vyragosa) from NPCScan. U realy dont need to know when Vyragosa spawn cuz that wont help u, just if u wanna have a heart attack when the sound will play.
Here is the place where I've killed him.(Bor's Breath frozen lake/waterfall at 28,64 aprox):
http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/3145/timelostprotodrake.jpg
He flyes not very high(30-40 yards).
So if u realy wanna get this mount u realy need to be prepared to spend a lot of "Lost-Time". I was a lucky guy that I've got him in 1 week and a few hours.But if u use all the infos that I give u (a lot of them where from the previous players that got him before me) in like max 3-4 weeks u will have him. Remember that a TLPD waits u to kill him, u just have to be at the right time and the right place to do that. Gl to all TLPD hunters.
PS:Thx a lot for the usefull infos that I found on this site and sry for my bad english:P

Finally got mine, been wating on him since December.
Details:
Server: Bleeding Hollow US
Spawn time: 2:30 am Eastern Time / Server Time
Spawn Location: Lake spawn point north of Frosthold (not hillside spawn point)
Kill Location: 30, 65
Loot: Reins, Satchel with ~19 gold, 20 Frostweave, Time-Forward Talisman of the Marksman
Story: I hadn't logged onto my main for about 48 hours. Was parked at hillside spawn point north of Frosthold. Started flying towards Bor's Breath and absently tapped at my Storm Peaks rares macro, when it gave me the raid warning.
The Drake was low to my left over the lake, seemed to just have spawned over the frozen lake. I intercepted him and dragged him down to 30, 65, where I dismounted... I happened to have my spider with me, and he was momentarily web trapped in midair. Despite that, and my spider being on aggressive, he kept coming after me until I feigned death. He warped to me a couple of times during the fight.
So ends my longest ever camp in WoW.

He was coming from Brunnhildar village and was flying towards south, towards the other village right next to the waterfall.
I intercepted him between the mountain tops, thats like a path to and from the village, you'll find it in the coords and remember... he was flying south.

Congrats to all that have managed to find this rare Drake!
Im currently on my own hunt for the TLPD on the Nagrand server, have been searching now for 4 days, spent 12 hours yesterday + countless hours over the last 4 days, have only managed to see a dead one. Can I ask that you all please provide server details of your findings so we can track down what server's have the TLPD spawned on. That will be a massive help to all TLPD Hunters out there.
So far these are my findings
Spotted TLPD @ 7:06pm on 17th July - body vanished exactly 24 mins later, assuming it must have spawned at 7pm exactly as the body vanished at 7:30pm on the dot.
Have not spotted anything else since!
C'mon Blizz throw me a bone here !

Anvernus, keep us updated, im hoping to also find out what the pattern is and use it to our advantage.
My above post states I saw TLPD at 7:06pm, was at the Engine of Makers area heading down the cliff. Just saw the body so assuming it was heading down the cliff (south).

Logged on this morning at around 12 and stumbled across dirkee, my npcscan addon went off and I though it was the tlpd.
I then went on to camp longer at the frozen lake south of valkyrion. After a long wait I went to mine a rock in the near by cave and then went out to mount up and I had a feeling a rare would spawn and it did and I panicked and thought it was the tlpd but it was just Vygrosa or what ever she is called. I killed her at 3:20.
I am going to camp further until 6 hours have passed to see if either rare spawns again, 6 hours being the superposed timer for tlpd / vyragosa. I will then update if anything spawns.

Meh... you wont know if someone else find one of them and kills them that wont fit in your patterns, so I think itll be hard to tell what their spawn patterns really are.
Even if you find one of them, lets say 06:47, you wont know if it spawned 06:00, 06:30 or whatever.
"But I was camping all night and didnt find any corpses blah blah" Well, theres something called 'skinning'.
The reason so many report they find it during night or early morning is prob. because there are a lot less people online. During the day there are a lot more casuals that might get lucky running in to one of them and wont report it on a website like wowhead. Most farmers/campers are looking for them during the night, and theyre the ones reporting on sites like this one.

Well if you want to talk about spawn times regarding Vyragosa and the Drake...I think I may be the last person to have found the Time-Lost Proto Drake on the Demon Soul PVP (US) Server. It occured on 7.13.2009 very near to 8:50am server time. It was a strange situation because I had spent 1 week and 4 days straight camping Storm Peaks (on a non epic flying mount mind you) trying to wait for this time thing pop...
So on 7.13's early morning I had spent 6-8 hours in another Black Temple council fight fail group (trying to get the off-hand Warglaive of Azzinoth to compliment my Main-Hand one) and was all frusterated with WoW again. I decided to cool off some steam and just relax in Storm Peaks for a little bit chatting with people before I fell asleep for the morning and after almost a half an hour of camping Bors Breath valley...my NPCscanner went off. Almost Instantaneously I believed it would be Vyragosa but both ESN_Rare and NPCscan said "Time-Lost Proto Drake"...you can imagine my reaction. Couldn't type, couldn't breath, was convinced someone on an epic flyer would get it before me (because I hadn't even seen the thing yet since it was a cachescan detection) but looking down the bors breath valley away from the frozen waterfall guess who I see flying at 60 percent flight speed directly at me. Oh yeah..I was happy...
But the point of the story is that my friend Rachelle showed up nearly 2 minutes after I killed the Drake and looted its Reins, Satchel, and Time Forward Talisman (that I still can't sell on the AH...kindof useless to my level 80 Arms Warrior), Rachelle was a little angry...but understanding because I had been there for 10-14 hours a day talking in general chat in Storm Peaks for nearly 2 weeks hunting that thing down with no luck. But she told me she had killed Vyragosa almost exactly 24 hours before I had just killed the Time-Lost Proto Drake. Said she killed him at about 9am yesterday and almost 24 hours later I'm killing Time-Lost at 8:50am?

A little strange...But I don't believe theres a connection in all honesty, I heard about a man who sweet-talked a GM into revealing more about the Time-Lost Proto Drake than the GM should have, saying that it was very possible that the Drakes spawn timer was actually less than every hour (and this 6+ hours is all just speculation) BUT say 95 percent of the time nothing spawns every hour...probably 4 percent of the time vyragosa would spawn and 1 percent time lost proto drake spawns. THIS is probably why everyone thinks the spawn timer is 6+ hours to 12 hours to 24 to a week...because I'm guessing the thing actually can spawn every hour like the GM said its just most of the time nothing spawns at all.
Someone also told me not too long ago about how they read a blue post on some forums about how Time-Lost Proto Drake shares a spawn with 2 other drakes..I immediately said no no no not true but then realized that there IS another rare spawn blue drake/dragon in Storm Peaks that spawns in its little nest very near to Bors Breath...its name starts with a V (I always forget its name) but I saw it once with my own eyes and can definitely say that it is NOT Vyragosa. I don't believe though that Time Lost and Vyragosa share a spawn with this other elite blue rare spawn because I think it is part of a quest chain but I can't know for sure as I have not done very many quests at all there. But that is my 2 cents of the Time-Lost Proto Drake, been wanting to post these things for awhile here up on wowhead to hopefully give you guys some new ideas and possibly shed some more light on this very sweet rare spawn...that is also very annoying. :-O
Also if you see someone say in Storm Peaks General chat "zomg its dead!" demand to see its body otherwise don't believe them. The body stays around like anvernus or someone said for 24 mins or so and is NOT SKINNABLE! I have 450 skinning and after I looted the drake I could not skin it at all so I just posted coordinates in general for its dead body and only had a few people show up. I got lucky that morning because no one was around.
p.s. I tried posting this yesterday but fell asleep waiting for wowhead to update with my posted comment...Guess it doesn't want to tell you when you've typed over 7500 characters and will just sit there for hours.

To Caen (Since wowheads "reply" button doesn't want to post underneath where I want to reply): it is unfortunate but twilightsky is right. as I said in my ridiculously long post that the Time-Lost Proto Drake is unskinnable. Don't know if thats a conscious effort on Blizzards part or not but I know I HAVE skinned Vyragosa (shes greedy and only gave me 2 Borean Leather =( ) so yeah, if someone says I killed the TLPD! OMGZ! don't believe them until you see its body because it will sit around for quite awhile before disappearing. Dirkee you can't skin but you can use Engineering on to get some parts or w/e

Killed Vyra last night for the first time (Gilneas server @ 9:15pm). Nothing very exciting, just wanted to verify the Bor's Breath spawn point. I was camped on the frozen river near the entrance to Valkyrion when Vyra spawned right above me on the side of the mountain near Frosthold. It was odd because she wasn't moving at all. It took her a couple of seconds to start flying, and she flew north past Valkyrion then made the right hand turn at the big statue dude at Snowdrift Plains (following the green route on our now famous route map). I killed her in the narrow valley below the crash site. (A very slow flyer but does hit hard.)
Thanks to all that post their info here. I enjoy the screenshots of tlpd since I have yet to see it... dead or alive. (I hear he did spawn at 2pm on Saturday July 18th, however I was out of town. Grrrrrrrr.) I can't complain because I have tamed Loque and Gondria in the last month so hopefully tlpd will be next for me. :)

Ok i have been bugged for a week by a mate too put my bit also regarding this guy.
Server shutdown last week I came on here too read all the info I could about him.Went away thinking I have just about no chance of ever getting him,after reading about those whom have camped for hours/days/weeks..
The next night 19.00(sydney) time I logged in,jumped on my flier and went upto Bor's Breath.I went along the gorge too the end where the frozen waterfall is,I sat there for a little while and then turned around and flew back along the same gorge,and at the camp I decided too turn and fly towards the engine of the makers.
Just north of the camp,I flew straight into the T.L.P.D...I landed and brought him down.
Upon looking at my ingame clock it was 19.06(02.06am server).
Yes I agree with what most of you would be thinking,pure and utter LUCK...
Server...The Scryers

I have two questions:
First: Can they follow their four knows routes both ways or is it always the same direction?
Second: Do you think its better to camp near the Abandoned Camp(in the air in the middle of the valley so I "hit" all three routes), or in the "crossroads" between Valkyrion, Frosthold and that engine thingy on the side of the mountain?

Just a question: I'm using the loot macro to see if it's been looted yet after a maintenance. Last 2 times I've been able to see the loot just after a few hours of maintenances. Me and a buddy looked for a corpse but couldn't find it at all. This happened 2 times. I wonder why this happens...
Does any body know that if a player mounts his tlpd , does server cache the loot and show it like it's been looted or not?
This really #$%^es me off. I haven't seen a corpse for months but see the loot all the time.

Found the corpse of tlpd yesterday at 4:30pm Gilneas server on the ridge between the blue drakes and Brunnhildar. I was camped on Bor's Breath at the entrance to Valkyrion at the time, so Time Lost spawned on the one route that I wasn't covering. Extremely depressed....

Just lost him for the fifth time. /cutwrists
Was camping Bor's Breath, and guess what- he's coming from the other side of Valkyrion, over the mountains. I don't notice him because I'm OOR so NPCscan didn't pick him up.
At exactly 20:00 PM, I see the dreaded thing in General chat:

At the point I'm already saying FU, but meh. So I decide to fly around SP to see where he was.

Found him and downed him on Alleria US server at 4:30pm server time on 7-24-2009 with my lvl 79 DK alt named Dimize. I landed in K3 and seen him just north of there flying overhead. I followed him for a while thinking for sure someone was gonna come by and snag him from me, but my slow chicken mount caught up to him eventually. Easily soloable.
Too bad I gotta be lvl 80 and have 300 riding Lol. Maybe now I got a reason to make some money and learn Artisan riding. Good luck everyone.

i dont belive it. decided id have a go at trying for him 5 hours ago. read all the comments/maps/tips on here, downloaded the addons. was hovering in the air just above the waterfall in bor's breath. tabbed into here to read more, when the npcscan addon sounds off. quickly tab into WoW and there he is!
i panic. heart starts racing. i see him, and tag him. balls up my slowfall (im a priest) so take fall damage. i also wasnt buffed as been in the air so long. im fighting him. notice my health is low. he's down to just a third of his health left. i panic again. try to get penance on me (why didnt i just drink a pot?) and he kills me. i quickly corpse run back (matter of seconds), rez, see him....and a druid has got him.
i am so, so annoyed with myself. schoolboy errors.
this was at 00:20 realm time, Killrogg, EU.

Like many others, I sat at Bor's Breath with NPCScan and 5 seasons of House MD.
Heard the sound, panicked, and saw him. A DK was heading for him ahead of me. DK gets there and tags him, then Snowfall Lagers himself safely to the ground. However, the fall was too long, and the drake reset.
I come in, dismount slightly above the drake and hit Killing Spree. Drake died before killing spree was done. I snowfall lagered myself safely down to a dead drake and an upset DK.
I honestly felt bad for him.

I made a macro as I fly around SP from time to time
/target Dirkee
/target Vyra
/target Time
/target Loque
/target King Krush
/target Aotona
/target dalaran spellscribe
/stopmacro
/tell NAMEHERE > %T <
First 3 are rares in Storm Peaks
Next 3 are rares in Sholazar Basin
Last one is a rare in Silverpine Forest(Drops Black Tabby non-combat pet)
I've found Loque(rare spirit beast that hunters like to tame) 3x, and found the corpse of Vyra once using this macro.
So, it's a nice macro you can spam click as your going around farming herbs or ore.

Camped Bor's Breath for the night and didn't find anything, then fell asleep and woke up at this hour. Logged in to check if i'd missed it or so and find vyragosa acctually spawn almost on me. I've found vyragosa 7 times now in a short notice, three times in last 2 days, everytime but one vyragosa has spawned at Bors breath. I've even removed vyragosa from my NPCSCAN cause it's killing me to find it instead of tlpd ;f

Bagged him just now (01.50 wow time) @ Lightning's Blade (eu) at 30,68 the frozen lake in Bor's Breath, he spawned high up in the southern mountains.
After 1hour camping yesterday and 5hours camping/patroling today, I almost feel bad for the dudes that have been hunting it for months.
And I like so many of u said, almost fell of my chair when Silverdragon went crazy! just flew straight at him, hit killing spree and fell like 3 feet to the gound. Than he was almost dead so he died in like 2 more hits. Was over so fast i didn't really understood what jsut happened.
Well happy hunting dudes! -if i can get it so can u (im up till now the most unlucky bastard in the world)

Just got mine on Dreadmaul - US. Npcscan picked him up when i was over the crevasse separating Ulduar from the rest of Storm Peaks at about 9-9.30pm ST. Was travelling counter-clockwise. That mod is really good I would have missed him otherwise.

Realm: Darkmoon Faire
Realm Time: 16:15
Had just completed a quest and was stood in Frosthold, when my NPCscanner started screaming at me. Then it come up with what it had dectected. I bolted on my non epic flying mount towards bors breath and just moving out of my vision was the Drake, heading west towards valykrion at around 16:10 realm time. I gave chase, and remembered someone had said this would be a race and half to try and catch up with out epic flying. Boy were they right, i chassed him down, cutting corners, following roughly the flight path i had seen on here, He seemed to be following the Green path.
First attempt got made at the opening just after Valkykrion. Tried to tag him but missed, hit the ground and had to remount to try again. By this point i was panicing someone was gonna sweap in and steal him.
Second attempt got made at Grommarsh crash site. Pretty much flyed right into him, so he dropped abit as he gave chase. Tagged him pulled him with Death Grip, and starting beating mary hell out of him. Finaly downed him and looted at 16:15 there or there about. Pic attached after much celebration on guild chat.

I've been camping for 2 weeks so far. Sometimes I've even stayed up all night. I've seen/killed Vyragosa 7 times now. I was clicking my macro to see if anyone got the reins yet. As I clicked it a second time, the macro showed that someone got the reins. I was camping in Bor's Breath. It spawned in Brunhilder. T.T
I'm still getting over the grief. :P

Got myself one of these last month... never got round to posting it on Wowhead but thought I would anyway.
I first heard about the Time-Lost Proto Drake about 6 months ago because in January, and since then I've wanted to get it. After hearing about it, I went to the area where he was supposed to be, straight away as I get to Bor's Breath my macro picks up Time-Lost Proto Drake, only he's dead on the floor... not bad seeing it dead at least as soon as I've started my hunt. So from then for a few days I go to this area a lot hoping it will spawn, but nope no luck. From here I kind of give up camping it, but instead just hit the area he flies around whenever I need herbs to get some money or for flasks to raid (having a profession like herbalism or mining kills
a lot
of time if you are hoping to get the drake.
Anyway, 6 months go by, and the only time I've seen Time Lost dead or alive was the first time I go hunting for him. Since then I must've killed Vyragosa about 10 times, and Dirkee quite a few times. All of my Vyragosa kills were in Bor's Breath, so I stayed faithful to this spot and spent most of my herbing time around here.
So I'm having a day off college due to a teacher's training day, and at about 12 AM I decide to gather some herbs for money and to make flasks for the raid I had later. I herb for about an hour, get bored, and decide to go and watch a movie. This movie is 2 hours long, and after watching it I decide to log back into Wow. I logged out in Bor's Breath, and a minute after I log in I think I see Time-Lost Proto Drake... but it's only someone else already riding the drake, which makes me think maybe I've just missed a spawn. So anyway, I get back to herbing, spamming my macro anyway incase that guy has had the Drake for a long time. 2 mins after the guy flies past me on his Proto Drake, my macro starts spam whispering me, so I look up to see I'm targetting the Time-Lost Proto Drake, and he is flying right towards me, flying south out of Valkyrion towards Bor's Breath. Heart racing, I fly up to him, tag him, and finally get this Drake I've been longing for. Moments later, a few other drake hunters turn up and mourn their loss.
To think, if that movie I was watching had been 5 minutes longer I probably would not have my Time-Lost Proto Drake.

I created an account just to post my experience here. I just got this beautiful mount at 2208 (1008pm for the non military time users) server time on Firetree server. I was sitting over the frozen waterfall when my npcscanner went nuts. Hey flew up towards bors breath and started rounding the bend to go up over Frosthold. Good luck to the rest of you hunting him. I was extremely lucky and caught him after roughly 7 days of camping for about 6-7 hrs a day.

Well I finally managed to nab this elusive drake after off and on camping of 5 months. Up until the last month I hadn't see him once dead or alive, yet had killed and seen vyragosa countless times. My closest encounter came after 9hrs straight of camping only to go afk for 5 minutes to make a sandwich... Come back to find Time-lost dead about 20 yards from where I was camping at my usual spot, Bor's Breath. So this week I went back to some serious camping and took a vyra kill from 3 hordes chasing it. My friend almost got it 4 days prior but missed tag by 5 seconds :( (He's been camping 7 months).
At 11:45 Server Time last night I killed vyragosa again while doing a patrol near the waterfall. So i decided I would head back later on in the morning. Rest of the night me and a few friends went looking for rare elites; I'm only 2 away from Frostbitten :). Anyways after finishing that up around 6:30 AM with no luck, I headed back to IF to sell stuff. I originally planned on heading out to Bor's at 7:30 because that would be nearing the 8 hr mark, which I find is normally the minimum spawn time between Vyra/Time spawns. But, for some reason, I felt like heading out early so I flew out to Bor's and got there around 7:05 Am. Didn't want to wake up the parents, so I parked myself at Bor's, made sure Npcscan was working, and popped a headphone in my ear while I lied down. Literally 10 seconds after lieing down, NPC Scan goes off. Like usual, I freak out and start shaking like crazy. I look at the screen and it was Time-Lost! I had turned up my view distance higher than usual for better sight, and I looked over towards Valkryion and see Time-Lost flying towards Bor's Breath. Flew over, ran into him, dropped off my red drake, popped a snowfall lagger, and hit him with Chimera shot for tag. He was mine a few seconds later! Finally after 5 months I got him. Of course, I took some celebratory screenshots that I will have to upload later. Obviously spammed storm peaks chat like crazy, and then proceeded to show off my drake in Dal.

Got it yesterday by pure luck. On my way to sons of hodir to do dailies and just thought I'd look around for the drake, I rotate the camera a bit and there it is :)
Fly over it, all nervous and shaking, tag it and dismount and pop on levitate. The drake did some damage to me and levitate breaks and I fall to my death :O
FAIL
Flies like a maniac to my corpse and rez, see the drake disappear in the distance and I chase after it. See a druid in normal fllight form, don't know if he/she has seen the drake or not. Fly by him and aggro the drake just above K3 and take him down to the ground and then tagged him. Drake goes down very fast.
GREAT SUCCESS!
Really happy to have got the drake and I start to think how incredibly lucky I am :)
(Got it on EU-Terokkar 090801 around 12.00-ish)

Finally got the drake. I must be one of the most lucky people out there. I read about the drake a week ago on wowhead and I thought I should give it a try and get me a nice mount. I also read about the spawn times and routes, so I knew it would propably take me a lot of time to find the drake, boy was i wrong :P
The drake spawned right above the frost drakes, then it flew atleast 100 feet above the engine of the makers, heading towards The Foot Steppes. I tagged him and got him to the ground, from there it was easy.
I would like to give people some advice to how they might get this mount:
Read the comments and memorize the flightpath so you know where you are most likely to find it
Use all your idle time on the spots where hi might spawn or fly by
Get the
_NPCScan
addon from curse.com
Buy yourself some
Snowfall Lager
Be patient, you will most likely not find the drake as fast as i did. Me finding it after a week was pure luck.

just a thought, when people have found him have there been vyra spawns around that time or has it been nothing for a few days, happend twice on my server auchindoun eu there'll have been no spawns of either for two days then BAM it spawns. So if it has happend on other servers it may be a sign

Hello, i have created an account to share my experience.
I just got my proto drake today and i was very happy. It was freakin awesome! After 3 months of farming i got it. From my experience of killing Vyragosa many times I confirmed that they share patrol points. I killed Vyragosa in the snowdrift plains one time, and spotted and killed the time lost proto drake in roughly the same area. Most of my time farming, I was camping in one place waiting for it to pass me or spawn near to me. He was flying about 60 yards(in game) from the ground.The direction the proto drake was flying was flying over gromash crash site or whatever its called and it was probably going to the engine of the makers. Also, i think i couldn't have found it if i didn't have my SilverDragon addon because it detected it from pretty far away.

killed at 6:25 ST
Thats all, and good luck to all of you farming it.

Keep the posts coming, it's encouraging for us campers to hear that others are still finding the drake! However, can you give a little more info if possible, like your server name, server time, location of kill, what direction was he flying, and a screenshot would be nice too.
Thanks, and keep up the good work!

Camped at 27, 65 as I'd seen mentioned on here near the frozen lake for the last 2 days on my server Scilla, though I've been looking for him for the last 4months. Today at 7:15am server time NPCscan went off for the TLPD. Looked ahead and all over with out seeing it, turned around and looked down and there he was just a little ways above the ground. Managed to tag him and get my mount. For those of you using NPCscan have fun and be aware it seems to go off a few seconds before he actually appears. good luck guys

Time Lost was killed yesterday on Stormscale @ 29 , 65. My theory is that it must of spawned just a couple feet away because my add-on had not picked it up while i was there and when i went to go get some chips and came back less than 1 min later he was getting killed and my add on went off. Really bad luck on my part but at least it gave comfort that ive been campin in a good spot, woulda had it if i didnt go get chips lol. (been standing @ ~ 30,66 for campin it)

Finally got mine this morning on the Ysera server at 08:44am California time/11:44am server time at 47,64.
He was flying low (lower than Vyragosa)and in a northbound direction coming from over Brunhildar Village (I might have spelled that wrong). I was flying southbound coming from right around the bend from Bors Breath. My NPCscan add-on went off and my heartrate went up when I saw it flying almost next to me. I aggroed it and brought it down to the ground at 47,64 where I had no problem killing it (I'm a lvl 80 hunter with a devilsaur pet). My only concern at that point was whether I was going to get attacked by one of those enemy rhinos that walk in groups with the passive rhinos. Nothing happened.
Advice: I have read all the comments on all the different sites and I have to say the best two tools I used that helped me, besides just plain dumb-luck, were the NPCscan add-on as well as the map provided by tellmeyouloveme in one of the posts on the Thotbot site. I set up a flight plan everytime (and this was a daily commitment) I visited the Storm Peaks where I covered (with my epic flyer) each path in the map. It only took a few minutes to cover the whole area. I tried not to limit myself to camping out at one spot because I felt it ignored all the other locations he could be at. With so many people looking for tlpd waiting for it to show up at one spot can be a bit risky. Yes, it seems Bors Breath is the intersecting point for many of the paths in the map above but he has to get there first from somewhere else unless, of course, he actually spawns in Bors Breath. This may work for others but I was concerned about it.
I did try the 6 hour rule once I saw the dead corpse of Vyragosa a few times, coming back in 6 hours and patrolling for an hour or so, and that didnt work for me. I am not saying its wrong - it just didnt work for me.
All I can say is to keep at it. I am like all of you in that I have read the posts, been envious, invested the time (too much of it) and been disapppointed many a day for the last 3-4 months wondering when my time was going to come when I could post a post like this one. Luckily (emphasize "luckily") my strategy worked for me this morning.
Good luck to all of you - keep trying :) and don't give up.

Today i saw the TLPD for the first time ever, silverdragon popped up and I saw the name and my heartbeat raced. A second later I noticed it was dead already :( I flew over to its corpse and a nightelf priest was doing flips on it. My heart was broken but at least now I know it exists! :P it was just west of the temple of storms (27.2, 58.5)
Edit: By the way it was on spirestone server and 2:03 P.M. (arizona time)

So far this is the info that I have gathered from my search for the TLPD on the Lightning's Blade server.
Vyragosa - 4:49 P.M. - 7/13/09 Frosthold Path
TLPD - 11:06 P.M. - 7/13/09 Around Grom'Arsh
Vyragosa - 12:36 A.M. - 7/15/09 Ulduar Path
Vyragosa - 9:04 P.M. - 7/15/09 (My kill) K3 Path
Vyragosa - 8:23 P.M. - 7/20/09 (My kill) Around Grom'Arsh
Vyragosa - 5:27 A.M. - 7/21/09 (My kill) Frosthold Path
TLPD - 11:46 A.M. - 8/2/09 Ulduar Path
Vyragosa - 7:45 P.M. 8/2/09 K3 Path
This is all of the info I have gathered so far. I plan on camping the TLPD until I get a spawn, and intend to keep this post updated with each new Vyragosa/TLPD spawn that I find until I get a TLPD of my own.

So i've gotten this mount finally after giving up almost 10 months ago after having killed him and not getting the mount. I didn't get the mount because the person who was fighting it didnt release after i let them die to the horde, even though i tapped the Time-Lost Proto Drake immediatly after he died and should have gotten it. since then i have switched mains and now i have it on my new main so i'm very happy. I was having convulsions while i killed it and for about 15 minutes afterwards.
Good luck to all trying to find this darn mount. It takes a while.

SO all you farmers are going to HATE me... After losing a roll on the drake in CoT I came on here and read some of the posts about the TLPD and figured I had nothin better to do so why not go farm it. So I DLed NPCScan off curse and headed out to Storm Peaks to give it a whirl.
As soon as I cross into the Peaks I get a flashing message Time Lost Proto Drake Found... IT WAS RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME... I honestly think my heart stopped for a second.... So I flew up to him and got aggro and slowly flew towards a mountain makin sure it was still hitting me... I lost aggro a few times but was able to kite it so I could land and grip it to me... after a few whacks it was dead and I have its reigns...
Now to go get it on my other 2 80s on this server.

This morning I camped for Vyragosa at 36, 63 and got her just after 6am server time. Dirkee showed up and killed me four times while I attempted to take him down. Gave up. Read about the theory that TLPD may spawn 6+ hours after Vyragosa is down and logged in at noon today. Got the TLPD at 2.00pm server time on NPC scan and took him down at 37, 63.
Today was the day I decided to find them and I got them both. I feel badly for those of you who have been hunting for months and wish you the best of luck.

I have also missed him myself by flying the way he flies on the green route, which is why im still here. I dont know where your getting your info from but its the wrong source

So i just catched this baby tonight 02:35 Bloodhoof - EU - PvE.
And i have been looking for this baby for like 50 hours+ and it was horrible not to even see the corpse or Vyragosa's corpse or anything rare. So i'd almost gave up but tonight i told myself to camp it for like 1 hour, and after like 20 minutes he spawns, and my Silverdragon addon pops up and i am totally paniced cause i didnt expect it to just pop up xD. But theese addons help me alot to find that drake.
Silverdragon = You can make the Silverdragon addon do a noise everytime there pops a rare NPC up. And it will tell you when there is a rare NPC close to you.
Overlay = Shows you the route of almost every rare mob in WoW. And the place where it can pop.
And i wont be writing all the date from how long time the respawn timer is and stuff, cause there are so many threads about that and about routes and time spawn sharing so i wont write all theese.
And i killed it just beside Halefnir the Windborn. (Sorry don't have the coords :p).
P.S sorry for none killshot, but i don't know how to upload one in here (i'm a noob at this point though).

Found him west of Thunderfall. Away from all the possible paths and maps that have been posted here. In my opinion he can be anywhere. Just spawn randomly somewhere in Storm Peaks and randomly go somewhere before despawning.

Camped this bad boy 20 hours before i finally encountered him. Got him to 2k health until i was feared and ganked by a warlock. It was the most frustrating experience ever i endured during any time through out this game. I did not lose hope. With the release of 3.2 i set out to tame skoll knowing it was on the same path. 10 hours at most waiting for skoll i finally tamed him and it was a sign of relief but then 10 secs after, my npcscan goes off again. spawning right on top of me was the time lost proto drake as i @#$% my pants. i didnt let this encounter get away. with skoll by my side i took him down in seconds and got myself a new pet and mount.

Here can be seen are all the spawn points and Vyragosa+TLPD share exat all the spawnpoint and flightpaths!

Ok, so basically what youre saying in your video is that:
Vyragosa and TLPD share spawnpoints and routes, one of them clockwise, the rest not. Dirkee does not share spawn timer with them.
Spawn time is between 6-24 hours.
6 hours is their nomal/most common respawn time, and 24 hours very uncommon/the worst there is.
They can never be up at the same time.
Something about a chance that there are two timers going on at the same time...
No idea what "
sobald einer der beiden nierdergestrckt wurde läuft der Timer wieder von vorn.
" means.
Same with "
man sollt sich bei der jeweiligen fraktion ein mittel holen was den fall verlangsamt denn die drachen haben unterschiedliche flughöhen wobei manche nicht zu überleben sind
"
haha, what it translated to for me was quite weird, but its something about different hight they fly by I think...
Something about despawn of their bodies and loot. Dont know if youre saying the timer starts going when theyre looted or when the corpses despawn.
Think youre saying Vyragosa is skinnable and TLPD not, or that it is not 100% prof that the timer starts ticking when TLPD is looted or the corpse despawns.
Vyragosa is flying her route until someone finds her. TLPD is only flying his route for a certain time but can still fly his route more than once.
You mention what they drop.
Paladins shouldnt use bubble when pulling them?
You can track them as dragonkin.
You also say that TLPD does not teleport from one route to another.
Then you show when they "teleport". Youre saying its not actually teleports tho and that it is always on the same place in that one route.
Then youre saying that since you have killed Vyragosa about 100 times you can say that some spawnpoints and certain times during the day theres a bigger chance youll find one of them.
- Id guess one of these places is west of Bor's Breath? :P
- I have to say Im surprised you can kite them so far as you show in your video without losing aggro.
As you can see google isnt that easy to use to translate. Some words arent possible to translate. Why did you post this video if you didnt translate it? Not much help tbh.
I thought some of the text would be about how they fly through the mountains. How often do they do this and how "much" can they fly through them?

I try to translate the Video!
And NO its 100% not an Privat Server! 100% its the EU Realm Die silberne Hand (The Silver Hand)
The short scene of Vyragosa. This are the exactly Spawnpoints. The 4 spawnpoints for the 4 Routes!
Simple,when you are not alone and you have friends or Guildmembers they are camped to of this Dragon, then camped exact by this points where you can see in the Video they spawn Vyragosa and you will see in time of 6-24hours they is to 100% a spawn on one of the points. Vyragosa or the TLPD. Have you kill the dragon, the next spawn it can only be after exact 6h or 8h,... 11h ...16... 24h!
see you later

Abraxusta, you´re wrong about the spawn timers. Dont confuse people. I´ve seen Vyragosa killed at 12:34 and then 19:20. Wich is 7h . So it's completly random.

So depressed right now.... I was camped at Bor's Breath today on the Gilneas server at 3:35pm when my NPCscan goes off for the TLPD. I spin around and see the drake down near the ground, and still alive! I flew down closer and noticed that there was another player already attacking the drake. I winged a few shots at the dying drake just in case there was any hope of me stealing the victory but it was not my time... again.
However, there is something to note in this encounter: as soon as the Time Lost drake died, another rare spawn Skoll appeared right next to the drake's corpse. One rare dies, another rare spawns at the exact same time. It might be helpful to note.
On a sad note, as other hunters I was chatting with were on their way to tame Skoll someone killed him. I'll try to attach the depressing screenshot.

Hm. I wondering something: if Vyragosa and TLPD dont spawn after a server restart, does that mean theyll only spawn after atleast six hours after the realm came up or can they spawn after fifteen mins, two hours and three minutes, etc?

ive killed or seen a corpse of vyragosa countless times. ive encountered dead tlpds like twelve times. today, my npcscan went off at engine of the makers, and finally, after camping for a double digit amount of hours every day for a month - after having taken a break for a couple of months, before which I flew around looking for drakes all the time after hitting 80 - the tlpd was flying northwest of brunnhildar. got the craziest adrenaline rush. fly up to it, almost in range, it gets pulled by some friggin warlock. just absolutely broke my morale just now T_T
if only he had been horde..

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.

Got this mount on my Shaman as I posted a little while back, now going for it on my Warrior.
Was playing Peggle with the NPC Scan Add On, went for dinner and logged out, came back on to find it dead at the same point I had killed it on my Shaman... which was right behind me. Bad timing for me, as I asked about the kill and it was a few minutes before I logged back in.

I have been camping this thing since I became 80 at the start of the year. STILL no luck finding it.
I think the only way I'll find this is if I camp it 24/7...which would be rather inconvienient.

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

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

Killed Vyra in bor's breath 337 PM realm time on rivendare, Tuesday. Was flying north from the frozen waterfall when i tagged. unfortunately my pally bubble was on cd but i found out that damage from the fall was 66% of my hp, which means the fall is survivable at that height on that path. I think it was patting counter-clockwise around frosthold since where i found it matched where it should be on that path.
Screen:

I'm trying to figure out if these rares are on a timer or on a set spawn schedule. it seems that a lot of the times that the drakes are killed are within 5-15 minutes of either the top of the hour or the half past mark, which leads me to believe that EVERY realm had this happen on the first kill, or there may be a schedule rather than a timer.
All of the information is here to do the math except for 1 thing... Are the times AM or PM, and what day of the week are they on. Since vyra and tlpd share spawn times a post on either would be helpful.

How do you know that these campers where telling you the truth? Why would they tell you if they killed Vyragosa? Do you think they wanted more competition?
Look at Abraxusta's video. What do you have to say about them coming out of the mountains? Id rather believe his spawn points are correct than any others. It looks weird when they come out of the mountains and he used his friends to camp all paths.
Styria:
Many europeans write here. I know that in many countries you write like this:
03:44 is in the morning(or night)
15:44 in the middle of the day
07:00 is in the morning
19:00 in the evening
etc, you get the point

Guys, something woderful happened.
Imagine that: It´s a 0:10 and you have just had a succesful day.Done some HCs, dailies and so on. And you are just flying around in Storm Peaks. Then you got an idea. What about have look for a Time-Lost? I wont´t get it,but nevermind. So you just fly around above the depths between ulduar and terrace of the makers. You have macro /target Time created and you just fly around and hit the macro every few seconds....And then....IT HITS THE GOLD! I got a heart attack when i saw it. So I just aggroed it, killed it, and WOOHOO! You got it baby! So lucky was I today. Ty for all those hints all around,I am another owner if this supreme mega cool mount...
BTW is it the most rare mount in the game?

Ah, I have not seen TLPD, dead or alive... yet. I have been camping for it since 8/16/09 on Saurfang realm keep in mind I live in the USA and to consider the wonderful time differences, and determined to keep trying even though seeing other players in the area and it can be quite discouraging and annoying. Since Saurfang is seemingly possibly Alliance population dominated, which doesnt help either lol. I scowl at anyone I see that is flying by or camping nearby me, tired... weary eyed. I refuse to bot this hunt, knowing more than half the players that have gotten it, have botted for it. Pretty much cheating, but I rather do it the hard way and earn it myself without cheating to get it. I have more respect for players that have the mount and did not bot.
I have been camping just above the Frozen Lake in Bor's Breath, since I picked that location to camp since three patrol routes merge closely.
I have picked up the NPC scanner from Curse.com, I have tested it out and it works greatly. I still make a good habit of clearing out cache every time I start up WOW which is every morning when I wake up. I camp for it 12-16 hours a day, basically insane to do but yet like I said determined to get it and I know I will get it,
eventually
.
I occasionally pat around checking for corpses and recording in notebook, time/date/location and what it is Varygosa/TLPD then I come back to my original camping spot. Npc scanner add on and notekeeping it is a no brainer. I recommend it, it can help figure out its' possible spawn points and where are the good areas to camp and patrol. I think that once you see the pattern where Varygosa has been killed and seen, you can get an idea where it could be spawning from, and camp that area for awhile till it's mentioned she is dead in another location then keep on recording it and get an idea where it's been spawning from, so forth. I think the spawn locations, they take turns on spawn locations like one week will be say Bor's Breath, another week brunn Village. It helps narrow down the flightpaths and spawn points.
SInce I have been camping. I've only seen Varygosa dead three times. Including just spotting it dead or my killing it.
Sunday 8/16/09 Saurfang server 11AM server time- Varygosa spotted dead at the Engine of the Makers, just right next to the area with the blue drakes.
Wednesday 8/20/09 11:50pm server time- Varygosa spotted dead at Bor's Fall near the Frozen Waterfall.
Friday 8/21/09 server time 10:51 AM, my time- 8:51PM Spotted and killed Varygosa in Bor's Breath just at Frozen Lake.
I was coming up with the conclusion that the actual spawn locations for say this week, was either Bor's Fall, or Brunn Village. My theory could be wrong, I would need to see more Varygosa corpses to confirm my theory. But no luck to confirm it more. I'm guessing maybe next week it'll possiblty spawn from a different location after gathering more info on corpses, where what time when ect ect to narrow down the possible spawn locations.
To the other happy campers, dont give up. I haven't. I can't give up, I have already invested days into this, but I do know my time will come. Just like your time will come as well. :D
I have been getting a lot of words of discouragement such as "It's just a mount. You'll never get it. It's just a stupid ugly mount, why bother? You wont get any achievements out of it" , "hunting for TLPD is one of the dumbest things someone or a player can ever do. I would never do stupid !@#$ like that." ect ect.
-edit add in-
I will post more information on my theory once I see more of Varygosa, and it's time and locations.

Killed Vyragosa today, was following the speculated red route from the first post on this thread. So I'd say its safe to assume that those routes are correct, if you're looking to farm yourself a proto drake, it will still be a pain in the ass.

Let me know if I have anything wrong or you think I should add anything and I will try to update it.

Finally got this girl the other day, I wasn't even looking for him this time, I was following some random horde who was on a flight path from Dalaran and she flew into me and dismounted me, Luckily I had a Snowfall Lagar on hand and pop'd that and started to slap her around until she was like "OH THAT ROTINAJ IS THE BEST DK ON DREADMAUL, I BETTER GIVE UP AND BECOME HIS SLAVE".

Been camping for just over a week, I keep getting Varygosa, and no TLPD so far. I would ask if seen TLPD or Varygosa, no one says anything which I am not surprised. The players are tight-lipped on my server, and for obvious reasons, they're competitive and looking for either one as well. I still have not seen a corpse of TLPD yet... The camping and waiting is... mind-numbing and boring. I'll get it... eventually.

After the time-lost proto drake was killed on 23.00 server time on friday on auchindoun eu , the following events have happend.
sunday: at 14.23 i stumbled across a vyragosa corpse at valkryion
tuesday (today): vyragosa spawned over brunhildar village at 14.00 when i tagged it to the side and killed it. i killed it straight away compared to the valkryion so thats the 23 minuite gap i guess.
LOOK AT THE TIMES. possibly could be a coincidence but its too strange tbh. so im gonna go back in to days ( on thursday) at 14.00 to see what happens.
LewisZX auchindoun
p.s rehgarl and demothicone where also there and saw the same things. this would also explain why in my above post that i didnt see it for 29 hours. I also believe that if time lost protodrake does spawn from vyragosa than it is a random timer compared to vyragosas 2 day timer.

Holy &*!@ guys, i finally found it! At 00.33 the 26th of August after two weeks of camping and a psyche on the verge of meltdown, i finally spotted him. Targeted, aimed shot, tagged and killed! And those guys here who said he didn't exist! What fools they were! He did exist, under the frozen lake in Bor's Breath! He just moved onto green... ahem,
whiter
pastures from the idyllic yet dolefully static (given his lifespan, not so surprising!) lakeview of Loch Ness!
Then only five minutes later i find Saint Patrick McDirkee's gold treasure at the end of the rainbow, Bigfoot lurking around the entrance to the ice revenant cave, a four-leaf clover on his corpse, and inside the cave is the semi-decayed corpse of Jimmy Hoffa cradling the Holy Grail, a map to El Dorado in pristine condition and a Gibson Flying V signed by Jesus Christ himself. Imagine my luck!
No drake though...
No... drake...

Hmmm I dont know, I'm considering once my two weeks is up at bor's breath I might consider moving my camping spot to Brunn Village. I only have a few more days left till it will be two weeks since camping 16 hours a day. I havent decided if I should stick with my current camping location or just move on to Brunn Village, maybe have better luck there...

im thinking of taking a new approach to this drake, instead of spending most of time waiting for him begging to wonder if i should try camping 1 hour a day at the same time of day in the same area for as long as it takes to find him cos if he is random then surely he'll appear some time without me wasting my entire days

Ive been farming this for a week now, about 16 hours a day. Only seen a few vyragosa kills and thats it. Ive been camping Bruunhildar Village and Bors Breath. There has also been a guy that has been camping Bors Breath 16+ hours a day for 3 weeks without moving an inch and he hasnt seen a tlpd either. I'd atleast be happy to see a dead TLPD corpse, but nothing so far.
Will update if I get any luck...

Update from feathermoon:
TLPD Dead this morning at 2:29 AM this morning at coordinates 27, 57 in Valkyrion. Kill was NOT made by me unfortunately. I was parked over in bor's breath, I was spamming my target macro and he spawned, and within 4 seconds he was already dead. I didnt even get to see who killed him or looted the corpse.
Checked general chat on both horde and alliance, but to no avail. 12 days of camping down the drain.

option843
Thats the thing... even if he does spawn theres basicly no chance I'll get it.
Not sure about you guys, but theres atleast 30 guys just sitting there at Bors Breath waiting for him to spawn.
So far ive seen about 10 Vyragosa kills, and every one of them has been killed within seconds.
High population servers ftl.. I feel like transfering to a ghost town server then moving back when I get the tlpd.

I got this mount on my hunter early this morning (Emerald Dream EU server).
At around 6:30am server time I was doing a quick round of Storm Peaks to check if Skoll had spawned. As I was flying towards Valkyrion, just past Bor's Breath and in the small valleyish area which leads to the Snowdrift Plains, Silverdragon flashed up the TLPD picture. This happened to me once before, in exactly the same place, and it was just a corpse, but on spamming the button I saw it was alive. A brief moment of panic until I found it - it was flying North towards the Snowdrift Plains - then I flew into and and gently guided it down to earth. As I wasn't farming it, I didn't have any lagers etc. I probably could have shot it from the ground, it wasn't too high up, but I didn't want to take that risk.
Anyway it hits very lightly, I didn't have a pet out as I was pet farming and ended up almost meleeing down as I lacked the weapon skill to wing clip it properly.
A quick /who revealed there were eight alliance in the region at the time, and probably less than half that of horde as we are a very alliance-heavy server.
Keep in there everyone, I know it's disheartening when people who aren't even farming it get lucky, but don't give up! It looks awesome and I've already had a few people emoting me (thankfully with nice emotes!) as I fly around.
Good luck.

i cant remeber where i read this but some guy had a theory on a spawn timer that really stuck with me,and also some guy squeezed some info out a GM that linked with his theory , so ill try and explain it. Every 5 miniutes there is a chance that vyragosa or timlost can spawn( vyragosa being more likely). this could be a 1 in 10000 chance , but there is a CHANCE it can spawn every 5 miniutes , its just very very unlikely. gradually each time 5 mins passes the chance for it to spawn gets GREATER , but not by alot. so in other words it is a random timer , but in a lucky circumstance you could predict when it spawns.

So after three weeks of camping this sucker, I finally got him last night (Eonar EU, Alliance). At 00:10 (GMT+1) my NPC scan went off. It was a sheer moment of panic as I was severel meters from my computer. Quickly I ran back, targetted him, took a lager, and shot him. My hands were shaking badly when I finally looted him. He was found directly over the frozen lake and he had presumably spawned on the little ledge at the mountain. It was a true test on my patience and I was about to give up last night when he spawned. It's not a question about if you will get it, just when.
Good luck to all you fellow campers!

I got mine too today, almost exactly 48 hours after the maintenance server reset.
The time was 10.55 AM GMT+1 on the Bloodfeather server when i decided to aimlessly fly over to the spawnpoint south of Brunnhildar Village. I could to that, I mean, since he wasn't going to spawn, right?
WRONG!
NPCScan goes crazy. My first thought is, "Great, i finally found him and he's probably already dead." That's how it happens, right?
WRONG AGAIN, BUCKY!
"Scorch" has just spawned above the village, alive, well and completely untapped. My brain shuts down for about half a second from sheer shock while my body fires a gigantic dose of adrenaline right into my veins. I literally go into overclock mode. When my brain comes back online, I fly near him, bodypull him to a ledge below the Stormpeak Wyrm roosts on the mountain above and start to kill him. Naturally, i mess up. My hands are shaking like hell, and I misclick ability after ability as the possibility dawns upon me; "What if a horde comes and kills me right now?" I don't have superb gear, and I don't last long in PvP. But all that is irrelevant. I found him.
I FOUND HIM!
Before I know it, I am standing over his corpse, beautifully draped over the snowy ledge. I am still shaking. Is it a dream? Is this just some cruel imagery of the mind? I wait for a few moments and realize... that it is not. It is the real deal.
The rest, my friends, is history.

Epilogue~
Well, what to say... I consider myself extremely lucky. I did not find him in the first three minutes of my hunt like some of the schmucks who've posted here. I've spent a sizeable amount of my online time to find this drake. Almost three entire weeks. Three weeks is roughly 500 hours. And 500 hours spent to find this drake is
NOTHING
.
First of all, a tip to you all. I honestly believe the 6-24 hour spawn rule is the real deal.
Vyragosa
spawned
+5h50min
after reset at 11.00 Wednesday. Her next spawn was
+29h55min
, 16.55 Thursday afternoon. TLPD spawned
+47h55min
after the maintenance. This was 10.55 AM this morning, almost
EXACTLY
2 days since reset and 18 hours after Vyragosa's last spawn.
My few words of wisdom to you is that the perseverent are rewarded. Exactly like Spago said;
Getting this mount is not a question of "
if
". It is a question of "
when
".
Good luck to you all. I have enjoyed the hunt.

AFTER FOUR MONTHS, I FINALLY GOT HIM!
I was flying near Ulduar this morning at about 7:50am on the Gilneas server when my NPCScan went off and I saw the Time Lost drake flying right for me! PANIC! I flew into him to draw aggro and he knocked me off my mount. I fell forever into the deep ravine out in front of Ulduar, luckily I remembered to drink one of my Snowfall Lagers so that I wouldn't die from the fall. I remounted and took off towards him again. I caught back up to him and I pulled him towards some flat area near the small outpost near Ulduar. Luckily it was early in the morning as there was no one around, especially in a high traffic area like Ulduar. I dismounted and quickly winged a shot at him as he flew overhead. He dropped down to where I was standing and the rest was easy. Killed him at coords 44 / 30.

I have to share my TLPD story. First of all, thanks to everyone in this thread for all the helpful information, particularly recommendation of the NPC Scan addon.
I've been after TLPD since Lich King came out. In fact, one day early this year I actually had her in my sights with no one else around. I got close and right-clicked to initiate the fight. For some reason my shot didn't fire and all I did was fall. I quickly re-mounted and chased her down but since my Snowfall Lager was on cooldown I now had to try and drag her to the ground. I died a couple of times but still managed to catch back up. Finally I got aggro and started toward the ground.....only to find a DK sitting nearby who immediately attacked and took aggro. OMG! I was so upset that I nearly quit WoW. A once in a lifetime chance and I blew it!
Well, last night around 9:37pm eastern time (Uldum realm) I was waiting on a raid to start and parked myself just above the ledge above Brunhildar Village. I was actually looking for the new Spirit Beast, Skoll. Lo and behold NPC Scan went off. IT WAS TLPD! She spawned literally right behind me in the village. I raced over, fired an arcane shot but somehow I hit the ground before I could get Snowfall Lager down. OMG I died again!
Fortunately, the spawn point was just a few yards away so I quickly rezzed and chased her down. The battle took place right in the middle of Foot Steppes and now SHE'S MINE!
Best of luck to you all. :-)

Apparently TLPD was killed on my server 2 hours after Vyrogasa was killed 2 days ago. I went to bed right after Vyrogasa was killed so I didn't see the tlpd corpse or anything. He linked me the mount and everything so I'm not 100% sure if I believe him or not.
Take that for what its worth..

I certainly can't understand how this ppl doing this? I was passing bor's breath yesterday at 7pm at magtheridon. I passed Bor's Fall and went to K3 for 2 minutes, not more, 2 minutes. Then i go by the fall again and i saw Vyragosa's corpse, dead already! My addon start noticed me almost immediately i fly off K3, then i started to search and find her dead on a clif, stucked under a house! Anoying!

Today, I lost the Time-Lost Proto Drake for the second time! lol. I have been hunting him exclusively for 9 months. In the early 9 months I saw him spawn but a druid beat me to it. Both of us we're ally so I couldn't kill him. Today, after I called it quits and was about to go to my friends house the unexpected happened, it spawned! I tagged it pulled it down but a hunter attacked and killed me. Now as I was fighting him I realized for some reason he wasn't dieing fast. Maybe it was just the heat of the moment and I screwed up. Now.... the first time I lost him I was really $%^&ed. The second not so much... I didn't care much at all, I actually made a horde character just to congratulate him.
So out of all my experience hunting this drake I have to say it is about timing. All the timing theories are wrong. I have tried them all for myself and nothing. I can honestly say from my experience that it's just random. I believe you can't predict it because he is Time-LOST and not Time- 6 hours/12hours/24hours/ or 23hours. So the best advice I can give anyone is just to hope and hope you are the one who is there when he spawns and honestly he isn't worth spending 24hours trying to get. Make sure to moderate the time you spend hunting it. 9 months have gone by and I still don't have mine. Even though I was there it was my error that caused to problems. So if any of you run into the TLPD just be prepared for the unexpected don't assume it's yours automatically just because you tagged. I learned the hard way.
So good luck and have a good time hunting him.
Raicon, 80 Death Knight, Tichondrius.
Screenshot for those who want it. I didn't kill it but I did get to tag it.

I have been camping for it since 8/16/09 on Saurfang realm keep in mind I live in the USA on the east coast and to consider the wonderful time differences, and determined to keep trying even though seeing other players in the area and it can be quite discouraging and annoying. Since Saurfang is seemingly possibly Alliance population dominated, which doesnt help either lol. I scowl at anyone I see that is flying by or camping nearby me, tired... weary eyed. I refused to bot this hunt, knowing more than half the players that have gotten it, have botted for it. Pretty much cheating, but I rather do it the hard way and earn it myself without cheating to get it. I have more respect for players that have the mount and did not bot while camping.
I had been camping just above the Frozen Lake in Bor's Breath, since I picked that location to camp since three patrol routes merge closely.
I have picked up the NPC scanner from Curse.com, I have tested it out and it works greatly. I still make a good habit of clearing out cache every time I start up WOW which is every morning when I wake up. I camp for it 16-18 hours a day, basically insane to do but yet like I said determined to get it and I know I will get it, eventually.
I occasionally pat around checking for corpses and recording in notebook, time/date/location and what it is Varygosa/TLPD then I come back to my original camping spot. NPC scanner add on and notekeeping is a no-brainer. I recommend it. I had my video effects all turned all the way down except for view distance, that was maxed, in hopes it will buy me a few precious seconds in framerate to get it.
Since I have been camping. I've only seen Varygosa few times. Including just spotting it dead or my killing it. These are my notebook entries below-
8/16/09 Saurfang server 11am server time- Varygosa spotted dead at the Engine of the Makers, just right next to the area with the blue drakes.
8/20/09 11:50pm server time- Varygosa spotted dead at Bor's Fall near the Frozen Waterfall.
8/21/09 server time 10:51 am, my time- 8:51pm- Spotted and killed Varygosa in Bor's Breath just at Frozen Lake.
8/22/09 server time 10:00 pm/my time 8:00pm- Varygosa spotted and killed in Bor's Breath by me near the frozen cliff near the bend to Bor's Fall.
8/23/09 server time 11:37 am/my time 9:36pm- Spotted and killed Varygosa myself in Bor's Breath at the bend near Camp in Foot Steps.
8/24/09 server time 2:40am/my time 12:40pm- Varygosa spotted and killed by myself Bor's Breath Frozen Lake, heading for Valkyrion.
8/27/09 server time 8:08am/my time 6:08pm- Varygosa spotted and killed by me in Bor's Breath Frozen Lake.
8/29/09 server time 2:23am/my time 12:23pm TLPD spotted by Crumpets and killed by me in Brunnhildar Village. The hunt is over. Sweet victory! Finally tagged and bagged this baby. *will explain story below*
I'll try not to write a big book over this. I was camping in Bor's Breath as usual and occasionally patroling around the known flightpaths it took. From what I remember what happened was I had WOW minimized to look up more information and updates on this website right here, reading all the updates and thinking "Wow, she/he finally got it, awesome. I wonder when I will get mine? Maybe I should start camping Brunnhildar Village now after I finish my patroling the area since they have been getting it from that area." I open back up my WOW and here I see Crumpets screaming at me in caps in guild chat spamming it, along the lines like "OMG ITS HERE ITS HERE BLACKSTARR HURRY!" and I honestly remember thinking "Yeah right.. sif." and yet, Crumpets kept spamming caps and invited me into a group with him. I thought "Oh *!@#, he might actually be serious." and he continues to spam telling me to hurry asap, I saw his health bar occasionally get hit like something was attacking him and I freaked out and flew all the way from Bor's Breath by Valkyrion to Brunnhildar Village which felt like I was flying on 60% flying mount when I actually was on the 280% with Crusader Aura on. I'm sweating like crazy, I started shaking really bad, hands shaking so bad had trouble holding the mouse while trying to get to Brunn. Village asap and I turned and approached the area my NPC Scanner went crazy, flashing red and the Time Lost icon popped up, I thought "Omg he was serious! He was actually serious and not joking! Oh my god! Oh my god! It's here oh my god!" I panicked, my heart beating like crazy, that rush kicked in...There, I see Crumpets kiting down the Time Lost to the ground and he's telling me to hurry and tag it and kill it asap. I'm hurrying over to them and we land and I start attacking the Time Lost and finally killed him. I killed him. I started crying, yes I admit it, I started crying like "Oh my god, it's finally over! I actually killed him and it's mine! Oh my god!" I was crying and shaking so bad, I could barely type straight, and failed with lots of typos. LOL. He congrat'd me and announced it by /yell in general chat in Storm Peaks. We mounted up, flew to Dalaran and he made the announcement in trade chat and of course, I got whispers with along the lines of "Congrats/lucky/when/where?" ect.
From what I remember, Crumpets I think was just on his way to do Son of Hodir dailies and was passing through Brunnhildar Village and he happened to have the NPC Scan add-on on, since I mentioned it to him and it went off so he I'm assuming freaked out and spammed it to me. It was one of the longest, fastest two minutes of my life. I was so shocked, it was insane and overwhelming for me. And it's true what they say, when you see it, kill it and loot it that rush really does stay with you. I still have that rush.
Basically, I got lucky. I would have not gotten it if it weren't for Crumpets, and I owe it all to him. The credit goes to him for finding it, being in the right place right time. I told him if he ever by chance wants to try it for himself, he can count on me to help him and camp for it.
I had been getting a lot of words of discouragement such as "It's just a mount. You'll never get it. It's just a stupid ugly mount, why bother? You wont get any achievements out of it" , "Hunting for TLPD is one of the dumbest things someone or a player can ever do. I would never do stupid !@#$ like that.", "It's an ugly ugly mount.", "Quit while you are ahead. Just quit now." ect ect. I know that they were just saying that because they didn't want me to get it or see me get it probably, knowing they most likely wanted it themselves and were jealous. I also got jokes over it by other guildies, teasing me like "I saw the time lost! I killed it!" , "I saw the Time Lost ballroom dancing with KT in Naxx!", and other guildies that would be in Storm Peaks for farming mine nodes would joke in general chat and say something along the lines of "Can someone help me? I have this brown dragon named Time Lost something attacking me! I'm at *insert coords* I dont have a flying mount, can someone come kill it for it?" ect ect. Just to make me miserable and pull my chain.
In short- I got to rub it in their faces and it felt pretty good to do so. :P
To the other tired weary campers, dont give up. DO NOT GIVE UP. I didn't, I have already invested days/hours into this, but I did know my time will come eventually. And it did with luck and because of Crumpets. Just like your time will come as well. :D

Thank you to all those who posted information here, and their encouraging stories and most of all- BIG Thank You and much much love to Crumpets for making this happen. <3 <3
Basically I would say my own personal advice
- Try camping in Brunnhildar Village, it seems to be spawning/spotted a lot there lately so campers, start camping in Brunn. Village instead of anywhere else.
Here are the screenshots, forgive me for crappy pictures since I had no add ons on except NPC Scan, and ugly basic UI.

Man... I absolutely want to cry right now. I'm the biggest mount collector on our server, and I've got, hands down, the worst luck with all mounts. I've been unfortunate enough to see this drake dead 4 times. Now, 3 of those times killed in front of my own eyes. Here's my story today....
So a fellow achievement #$%^& in my guild, happens to have the most on our server, needs vyragosa for his Frostbitten achievement. So while we're doing AV premades for other achieves, a bunch of us are sitting in storm peaks just waiting to see Vyragosa... imagine that, camping vyragosa, not time lost.... anyways. The last game we leave, and we're all talking about it, just got a frostwolf perfection, and he says "time lost proto drake found". He's looking around franticly, says he can't find it, can't target it. So I immediately open my map, look where he's at, and think what route the drake could be flying on. I was up by Ulduar, and he was in bor's breath.
I close my map and race to the center of storm peaks, with the huge hole in the ground below the temple of storms. Last I saw his dot on the map was that valley there that links bor's breath to the place where the blue proto drakes are. So I race there. Now I hear him on vent, I found him, I'm following him. I'm just amazed at this point because it sounded like he was alive! So now my heart is really beating hard. When I get to where his dot used to be, I find that it's another guildee, not the person following the drake. My heart sinks............ I hear him in vent say he's got aggro, now I re open my map and see he's no longer near bor's breath, but in the middle of where the blue proto drakes are. I wish my mount could have gone faster than epic flying, but just as I pull into view, the time lost proto drake dies and is a grey portrait to me... unlootable.... I've been on the hunt for this creature since last november.....
I havn't searched for him as hard as some people, but I do have 114 mounts and I have some serious dedication for mount farming. I just can't put into words how that made me feel to watch the time lost proto drake die in front of my eyes for a 3rd time, except this time it was someone in my party and I couldn't loot it or even roll on it...... I'm sure this will get marked down, but for those that get to read my story before it disappears, feel my pain. And to those who've gotten this magnificent mount, congrats.

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.

On the Bloodhoof server this week:
2:30PM Tuesday - Server came up from Extended Maintenance
2:45PM Friday - First TLPD Killed @ Ulduar
3:45PM Monday - Second TLPD Killed @ K3
2:30AM Tuesday - Third TLPD Killed (Unknown Loc)
~72 hours between each spawn with unknown number of Vyragosa kills in between. Bloodhoof is a high pop server with more than enough campers to kill her within minutes, so the spawn timer must be 24 hours or a multiple thereof (6, 8, 12)
Vyra like most rares are likely a block window spawn. If the timer is 12 hours, then she can spawn in every 12 hour block. If she spawns in the first minute then it still has to wait for the remaining 11:59 of the block to finish and then it starts a new one. TLPD on the other hand seems to spawn near the beginning/end of a block whenever the roll comes up for it.
Update
: A third TLPD spawned for the week, almost 11 hours after the 2nd and less than an hour before downtime. Two guildies on the kill, the 78 alt won the roll. Go figure.

Hello fellow Time-Lost hunters :>
I've had great use of the information on this blog, i haven't caught one as of yet tho myself.
- I've been camping at the frozen lake for 4-5 days now, not going offline at all except for the maintenence. I've spotted Varygosa only once, and that was when i had collapsed from exhaustion on my computerdesk, lol. My NPCscan addon had spotted her tho, and when i woke up i was like, hmm damn! it had spotted her at : 07:24 in the morning. I've even made a small antiafk machine composed of a fanthing and a remote taped onto it so it presses the space button like 7-8 sec apart, quite fun and very geeky iknow ;p
Well, I'm just sitting here at the lake and wanted to share this with you, i'll post a picture of my eventuel finds of Varygosa and TLPD, if i do find them, lol!

Tbh, When I didnt know about Npcscan I had to actually spamm all day the macro. But after I found time lost I found about NPCScan. It's so much eaiser now with it you can watch tv or play ps2,ps3 or xbox while camping. I mean it's not hard at all just choose a place and camp it like it's your home. And also move your char one time in a while to avoid to auto loggout.
If you patient you will get it I swear. Just use this addon Called NPCScan. If you dont have any TV or something close to the computer then go watch it and max the volume so you can hear when you find it.
I already have it and got it of begining of april but still I am reading comments because It's so nice to see how ppl get it.
EDIT: This is not kind of info about time lost just a tip.

Well I'm going to share a story.
I had given up looking for him a long time ago but today I decided I really needed gold so I would go do dailies in Stroms peaks after AT dalies.
I round the corner past frost hold and NPC_scan flashes TIME LOST PROTO DRAKE! right near the entrance to the temple of stroms. (sorry no cord mod installed at the time)
wouldn't you know it right there in my face there he was I freak and hit any shot, auto dismounting figuring I was on top of the frozen water fall. I take damage oh well FD let the pet tank pop a potion. In my gear it won't be much of a fight I can afford the HP loss.
Well I miss judged and was infront of the water fall. My slow fall laguer was in the bank cause like I said I gave up on hunting him.
I cratered. Rezed and I was still able to target him he wasn't tagged I flew towards Valkyron and lost him.
Apprently I must have bumped into him as he was turnign around.
By the time I figured he must have turned around a rogue who was just framing nodes got him.
so...
Stay calm, unlike me
always make sure you can slow fall some how
and yes he doubles back he doesn't go all the way around Stroms peaks.

Hello TLPD Hunters :)
Here is my story.
I decided randomly (like they way I usually am with many things) to get this mount, as I have set myself to go for the 100 mounts.
But I wanted this mount for the challenge, the prize mount being hard to obtain, and of course an extra amount in the collection of mounts.
My home realm is large, active 24/7, competition to great, to many people, to much time lost and effort to get this mount on a 24/7 alive active server.
so randomly 3 days ago I said to my boyfriend, only way I think to get this mount would be, we transfer to a low pop realm, and I be very aggressive in my stance for this mount, and keep my main which is a Pally that is used all the time for Tanking and pvp geared and specced as Ret, Dual Spec. Keep the toon idle on a low pop realm get the drake and go back to our home realm.
He said, yeah makes sense, so i said OK, empty your bags, mail take what you want and let's go!
His response was "what now" LOL I said, well why delay, we do it, we do it now (we have xfered too other realms in the past so no big deal) and it was only going to be for 30 days.
So 3 days ago around midnight, his main a Pally dps and my main dual Spec pally both transfered to a low dense populated realm. its a horible realm, we been there once before, we get our toons over within 20 minutes of going through the transfer page, I take my pally straight too storm peaks and begin the process i decided too do... Idle as much as possible *around 18 hrs per day for a while then reduce the idle time from ebeing too tired* LOL.
Well, idling at Bor's Breathe for nearly 2 hrs, bored out of my mind, as I cannot use my main and i knew this would be the deal and this is what I said i would sacrifice to do for 30 days if it takes that long..... my boyfriend using his main, poking fun at how dead the realm is especially come midnight onwards ( we are used too a 24/7 alive realm) and that swhy the low pop realm was selected. So i said, stuff it, Im bringing over my ally account as well, just my DK to use too mine while i idle on my Pally for the TLPD. Dk was handy with mining + engie for clouds, ended up with around 240 Stacks of saronite, around 13 stacks of titanium and oh noidea how many full stacks of 20 of eternals but was ALOT within 3 days. which is fine as it got transfered via the neutral AH< back to my Main account Horde Pally which is a JC as well and seeking the TLPD.
We are financial enough too have multiple Horde and Ally accounts on the same home realm we belong too, and plan too faction change ally toons too Horde once viable.
So around 1-2 am my ally DK is on the realm now too, mining, within 4 hrs of transfering the horde Pally for TLPD and idling at Bor's the scanner goes off, I nearly fall off my chair and so excited, my boyfriend on the pc to the right of me runs over and im like oh its not TLPD it's Vyragosa that was around 4:40AM, we went to sleep around 7am that morning for a few hrs. Later that day think around early afternoon scanner goes off its Vyragosa again. Killed him again, coming into evening I said, hey lets get the recliners from the loungeroom and stay here, we can snooze off and on and be so comfy while camping for this TLPD LOL. Which was a great idea, great for the back and rear end too sit in comfort, recline back and snooze when need hehehe, was funny actually/
Killed Vyragosa again later that night think was around 6-8 hrs later.
I killed Vyragosa AGAIN last night well was at 1:20AM and a Horde lock pst me who was patrolling off and on but Never in the area for long periods of time, unlike me with my Pally that was stationed there almost 24/7 and he pst me and said, 'scum" ......................... err... gee.. what the hell... I am idle right where Vyragosa spawned at Bor's target and kill it and get called scum, what the hell... talk about sore loser, sheesh.
I question his comment and he has the audacity to tell me he has been after the kill for a few days and is barely seen in the area for long periods of time. I told him too QQ More and basically get inline, so is everyone else who hangs around here usually. He cries more and then tells me he is reporting me for camping, and tell him to do whatever he wants and /ignore and left it at that.
he logged off..... lol.
up all night getting so sick and tired of mining on my ally toon for soooooooooooo many many hrs, but refuse too use the DK for instances/raids or whatever on this dead realm we xfered too and just used it for mining and also scouting off and on for TLPD for my Horde Pally. My boyfriend getting annoyed not at me, but the realms lack of player skill for basic heroics yet alone pug raids, but he remained very supportive of what I set out to do, which he also became apart of.
Come early hours of the morning 6am im getting sleepy but awake, I fell asleep off and on infront of the pc in the recliner around 8am or so for short bursts waking up moving my pally so it doesnt get booted for AFK, drifiting in and out of sleep found myself logged out, log back in, go back to sleep that kind of thing went on for a few hours off and on.
Woke up around 1:15pm noticed I waas logged out, logged back in, saw a druid Horde idling right where my pally is, and I lay back in the recliner and drifted and next thing scanner goes off, I jump up thinking Vyragosa but hell NO, TLPD, im half asleep, where, where is he.... look up he right there just went past me, i turn around chase him, tag him, land ontop of the building first one i could at valk, get an excorcism into him, his mine...... heart racing thinking ally will come by any second possibly but no downed him in seconds, stunned, overwhelmed half dazed and was soooo Thankful the druid who was there too was actually idle and gave me time too get my tag ! looted mounted my TLPD spammed /1 about it and also brought my ally toon and did the same with /1 and co-ords and people coming over congratulating me heheheh.
The mount itself is ugly i think the same thing with them all, the one I want the most is the blueish 1 from 25 OS+ 3 drakes which i have the title but it isnt done enough and so many too roll for against. Will get it oneday i hope.
So the plan, and effort to transfer off our home realm to a dead realm to get this drake with hoping it be fast and within 30 days of basically rendering my main toon useless during the hunt for the drake, paid off!
now I can use my pally for whateve rI feel like on this dead realm for another 27 days before we can go back home lol.
Tip: posibly xfer to a dead realm, low pop and do a similar thing if your serious and dedicated in wanting this mount and are financial to do so. Worked for me really well, + i had another account xfered to amuse me in the mean time.
I know people are camping hell of alot longer then me, but i got mine and at a cost of transfering 3 accounts in total and stuck for 27 days or so on a dead realm but its worth it :)
My boyfriend is a fantstic man, did not whinge or complain about being bored even though he could use his main freely, just not enough players early hrs that we are used too for farming heroics/pig raids for fun etc etc.
Luckily he isnt interested in mount collecting lol
All did was stay at Bor's Breathe and NEVER moved away not even too patrol. That was my plan from the start, TLPD WILL spawn its a question of "when"

one thing i hate about camping is when you ask if anyones seen anything, as we cant be everywhere at once, and all you get in return is abuse or immature answers and all they really have to do is say "yes" or "no"

Well i just killed it. the upper left hand corner is the cords and the time in the upper right hand is the server time. It happened today 9/5/2009. I have been camping for 3 months. i almost didnt get him but a horde tried and was way off the ground when his mount dissapered and he fell and died. I attacked and got it. i was so happy. the cords were 37,69 it was 5:00pm server time.

Hour 200 (as of September 12th, 2009) of several weeks... I lost track. Probably four or five. 10 Vyragosa sightings; 7 at Bor's Breath lake and 3 elsewhere. 0 Time-Lost Proto Drake sightings. She doesn't always spawn at logical intervals; i.e. at one point she spawned at 13 minutes past. I can also guarantee that these were spawns and not just her coming into view, as I'm certain I'm at a
spawn point
(one of the hills in that area). I've also seen her spawn
here
before. She appears to be capable of spawning directly above Val'kyrion. Perhaps it was just her coming into view as I was camping the Bor's Breath lake, but I've heard other people say she's spawned above them in Val'kyrion, so it's likely that those are two of the three possible spawn points. She
flew
from Val'kyrion over through Bor's Breath, around the Engine of the Makers and near Gimorak's Den before she was killed.

i believe my theory to be correct about timelost/vyra spawing whenever the server time ends in a 5 e.g 10:55 or ends in a 0 e.g 10:00.
this morning i logged on and did the brunhildar daily before i search for timelost/vyra. it was the 'defending your title' quest which is nice coz its quick n easy. as i handed the quest in i looked at the server time and it was 11:58. so going on my theory i rushed to bors breath. i looked at the time waiting for it to turn to 12:00. then BAM as soon as it hit 12:00 vyra spawned in front of me. she was neutral in the air for about 3 secs then went hostile.
so just a little tip for you guys to try =P

Time Lost Proto Drake - Found
Time: 7:45 PM
Date: Sept 6, 2009
Coordinates: (46,62)
Server: Dragonmaw
Other information: The Time Lost Proto Drake was flying low enough to the ground to hit it easily if your a spell caster. Tagged it and killed it. Was freaked out because I was so amazed I found it.
Tip: NPC Scanner was a great help. I probably would not have found it otherwise.

Just killed TLPD on Alonsus (EU) at 39,73 close to 12.00 server time.
I have tried semi-camping the drake on my hunter, which is my main char and only char with the level of flying needed to actually learn it. Hours changed into days, days into weeks and months. Most of you know what I mean by now. In that time I have killed Vyra once, months ago, above the big stairs at the Terrace of the Makers.
Today, I started mining on my gatherer char in Icecrown and decided to move to the Storm Peaks for the Hodir dailies. After mining another 2 saronite nodes as I entered the Storm Peaks through the place with the harpies just south of Valkyrion, I flew over the frozen water (where I have camped for the most time with my main) and followed it east to Brunnhildar Village. I took a left through the opening with the dwarfs walking about, towards the Enging of the Makers. But just as the big hole came into visual range, NPCscan made the sound I have been wanting to here in this location for so long. After clicking and targeting it, I was looking around desperately for visual confirmation, though I wasn't in range at the moment. I spotted it to my right as it was making its way above Sifreldar Village. It looked like it was taking the path from Brunnhildar Village towards the Engine of the Makers, bending towards Sifreldar.
It still took me a couple of anxious seconds to get into range with my 150% mount with Crusader Aura. I first tried to tag it with Hand of Reckoning, bubbling to the ground, but it was too much as I left combat as I hit the snow. With due haste I got back on my mount, followed it and just decided to fly through it to catch it's attention. This worked and I could take him with me to the ground, where I released my frustration upon it's face.
What I like to believe, is that it found me and not the other way around ;)

Hello everyone,
It has been a while since I lost posted here to update my TLPD search.
Alas, I had no time anymore since my last post due to work & exams. Now I do have some time again (2 more weeks) and I'll be camping tlpd again as much as I can.
Today I saw Vyragosa again, wich confirms my "theory".
I strongly suspect that Vyragosa or TLPD do spawn every night before the weekly maintenance.
As you can see under this sentence: 3 kills have been on the very same night when the server resets. Anyway will keep updating my search for tlpd.
- 15-7-'09 -> Vyragosa @ 3.35AM (spawned at the Frosthold route or up the hill between Frosthold & Temple of storms, Coordinates not known)
- 18-7-'09 -> Vyragosa @ 12.15PM (Spawned and killed around 29,69)
- 20-7-'09 -> Vyragosa @ 3.50PM (Spawned and killed around 27,62)
- 22-7-'09 -> Time-Lost-Proto-Drake @ 12.15AM (Spawned and killed around 46,64)
- 22-7-'09 -> Vyragosa @ 6.45PM (Spawned at the Frosthold route, killed @ Bor's Breath)
- 24-7-'09 -> Vyragosa @5.00AM (Spawned at 29,69, killed at 27,55)
- 25-7-'09 -> Vyragosa @ 2.35AM (Spawned at 47,73, killed at 45,61)
- 09-9-'09 -> Vyragosa @1.32AM (Possible spawn location: 40,60 or 33,80. Killed @ 29,65)
Kind regards,
Handuriël, Trollbane Europe.

Decided to try and get this today, 98 mounts aiming for achievement.
I installed NPCscan addon; removes the need to a button mashing rare finding macro. It allows WoW to loudly announce a rare spawn ID has been located inside your cache (i.e has just appeared near you). The cache folder needs deleting after/before you install so that it's ID isn't in there, if it is, it won't work properly.
European server's came up at 13:00, I flew around (Silvermoon) and camped for 8 hours 56 mins before this baby spawned next to me at Bor's Breath - frozen lake. 1 more mount to go for my 100 mount achievement.

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

1 month pass by, i have seen many vyrarose (live or dead), 3 dead time lost and helped a guildee captured skoll after 3 fail incident. and bam !, my time is up.
Today, I went to my lucky spot (bor breath) for my usual camping, and there is a horde druid there. OK, that's fine, I try to @#$% him off by dot up in the air couple time, but he is still not leaving. I said fine, dont think i have a chance against a druid as warlock. I'll go brun. village (seem wowhead ppl said is better chance)
5 min. after at brun. village, i got bored and went back to bor breath, and good stuff, no more horde. and i begin my camping and farming cloth. another 5min gone by, and all of sudden, my NPC Scan pop up after a trash kill. I said *!@#, better not be late this time. I quickly mount up and search over the sky ...... nothing, so i quickly look down and bam! a drake is flying down 100 yard away from me. I knew it has been aggro. now in my mind, i cross my finger, this is better be a horde's aggro and I'm not too late for a fight (pvp server).
I dont care anyhow by casting a curse of tongues on the drake, and starting to tap my target and hopefully i get a horde. dahda, a horde boomkin is doing his ^&*! on drake. so i fear, immolate, chaos bolt, conflag, bam bam bam, crit crit crit. 22k druid is down. I quickly turn my target to drake and yes! is red icon to me now, i was so freak out cause i knew a rez spot is really close, so i quickly killed it even tho i forgot which spell to use. TIME LOST down before the horde rez up. I knew druid is @#$%ed so i let him killed me for 62honor pt in return. not feeling sry for him cause i hear many story vis versa.
I'm a proud onwer of TLPT now.

I got mine tonight on Jaedenar at about 12:05AM. I was about to log when my NPCScaner went crazy(didn't think it would really work). She was heading North right over Valkyrion. Got her to follow me to a cliff and took her down on my Holly Pally.
I've only been back on the game for a few weeks, and only looked for her for like 30-40minutes for the past three days. I dont have the ability to stay in that area for hours on end just looking for a Rare that may not show. But tonight was my night..also ended up taking down some Robot Rare in that area as well right after her. So AWESOME night!
So to all of you that posted where to look and what to use, THANK YOU ALL!

Saw it flying over the frozen waterfall over Bor's Fall, im a druid, but just in case i used snowfall logger so i could moonfire and insect swarm tag while falling. Luckily I was alone as it seemed to spawn, perfect place to camp imo around Bor's Fall btw. Took me about a week of on and off camping, just played the waiting game and got it :)

My heart kinda stopped for a few seconds, and then it went up to like 1000000 bpm!
Got the kill tho, just south of valkyrion (27,64).
It came from bor's breath and was heading towards valkyrion.

I had been camping over Bor's Breath since before the weekend at least 18 hours a day. Vyra was supposedly killed Thursday, I personally killed another Vyra 6:50pm EST Saturday, and I got my TLPD at 11:16pm EST Sunday on the Bloodhoof server. The Vyra I killed was pathing from the east towards me along the frozen river, but the TLPD actually spawned up the hill by Frosthold and was coming down when NPCScan went off. Actually I had my monitor turned off and was afk camping by hitting a macro every few minutes on a wireless keyboard, but I had a /tar Time-Lost + raid warning sound macro which I spammed and heard to my enjoyment as I knocked over my computer chair while frantically turning on the monitor. Living bomb for the 41yd instant tap + slow fall, and I had my drake shortly after.
The timer appears to be the 5-8 hour variety, but with 3 outcomes: 1) Skip spawn, 2) Vyragosa, 3) Time-Lost. Obviously it's weighted to either skip or have Vyra show up most of the time, and combined with 4 different flight routes it will require some luck to catch the drake no matter how much persistence you have for camping it.
Good luck to us all :)

I think you are right I was doing the daily in Brunnhildar Village and I was in the pit when my NPC scan picked it up and he was flying over me. I managed to get him to attack me and pulled him to the ground in the foot steppes. So he found me!

Friday my NPC scan went off and I found it already killed in Valkyron (this was about 2:00pm ST). I only camped there a couple of hours and figured it couldn't hurt to try that spot again, so I signed off. Today, 2 days later, I decide to camp that spot again and just leave my guy hovering over Bor's Breath lake area. I highly recommend NPCscan, as I was able to turn my volume all the way up and mute the game sound (NPCscan will enable the game sound for the alarm). I then left the room and preceded to take a nap (yeah I used an anti afk app on my mac that I created). I woke to the sound of my NPCscan blaring, and ran in the room in a stupor, and couldn't believe my eyes, he was heading straight at me (from Bor's Breath heading toward Valkyron). I shot him and he was mine, although I don't even remember the fight...haha.
Keep trying, he's out there. I know he flies from Bor's Breath up to Valkyron. Get NPCscan, can't go wrong. (Got him about 4:00pm ST)

Judging by the total information gathered thus far, some of which has been confirmed by game masters, this is my current theory:
When a Time-Lost Proto Drake or Vyragosa is killed or despawns, a 6 hour timer begins. After this timer is up, one of three events can be triggered: nothing spawns, Vyragosa spawns, or Time-Lost Proto Drake spawns. Around this time one of three spawn points can be selected, and then the creature is spawned to patrol until it is killed or despawns, at which point the 6 hour timer resets and becomes active again. (If nothing spawns, the 6 hour timer resets and becomes active again immediately.)
This would be the same scenario as most rare creatures, except normally only one creature has a chance to spawn per timer instead of two sharing the same timer. From data I have acquired here are some confirmed statements to take note of.
The Time-Lost Proto Drake may spawn at one of 3 points. One of these is almost certainly near the Bor's Breath lake. The other two have not been completely confirmed yet.
The timer for most, if not all, rare creatures is 6 hours. There is a chance that either a creature spawns or the spawn is skipped. It is unprecedented (to my knowledge) that a rare creature shares a timer with another rare creature.
The Time-Lost Proto Drake has been spotted flying near Ulduar, K3, Bor's Breath, Engine of the Makers, Val'kyrion, Sifreldar Village, and Brunnhildar Village. Vyragosa has also been spotted flying in each of these locations.
Contrary to some statements, the Time-Lost Proto Drake cannot teleport around the zone. However, it does have a time lapse skill that will allow it to teleport behind its target during combat.
Edit:
I also thought it would be helpful to mention that a game master mentioned the maximum amount of time that a Time-Lost Proto Drake would not spawn is 72 hours (I may be wrong about that, but I'm almost positive). In this case, it's only a matter of math to determine the spawn chance of the Time-Lost Proto Drake. My math is probably off, but 72/6=12, so therefore there are 12 spawn triggers that occur within that 72-hour period, and 100/12=8.333 (repeating, of course) so therefore in any given trigger there would be
approximately an 8%-9% chance to spawn
.
Edit 2:
It should also be useful to note that the Time-Lost Proto Drake doesn't appear to be biased towards any one of its 3 spawn points, which is to say whenever the spawn trigger does decide to spawn the Time-Lost Proto Drake there is likely a 33% chance to spawn at any given one of its 3 spawn points.
Edit 3:
Apparently, according to a friend, yesterday I got on 10 minutes after the drake spawned and was killed. This after appx. 230 hours of camping over about 1 month. Here's to another 230.....

Here is my question, if you are using the addon NPCscan will it go off if the TLPD get near you, or will it only work if Vyragosa happens to get near you? Or do you have to set the addon up a certian way to get to go off when the TLPD gets near? Now I'm sure that this question had already been answered but im just trying to make sure this addon will work before i download it. If some ppl whom have used this addon for this can give me a clear yes it works, i want to try to use it. Or if anyone can confirm this it would just make me feel better about using the addon.
Thanks for the answers,

Ok. Ive now gone through all pages except the first one here on wowhead, collecting cords.

Note that these dots are where they have been killed or "spawned".
So some of these dots can be places people have kited them to to kill them, so they can be a bit off their path/route.
No dots are from where people said they have camped. Ive only taken where theyve been killed or seen "spawn", as I said.
Ive also only been looking for actual coords, not things like "Killed TLPD southeast of Engine of the Makers 42 yards northwest of that weird-looking tree". I have not been trying to figure out coords by looking at screenshots and fly there myself in-game either.
Personally I wish I had the patient to camp the 52,34-spot. In the "crazy german's" video Vyragosa is shown to come out from the mountain here, so would be interesting to know if this is an actual spawn point.
I mean... look at the map. Most spots are where you fly back and forth to do dailies, and these spots are also popular because most people get the drakes here(since theyre doing dailies). Maybe they spawn in less-crowded-places but arent discovered until they reach a more popular part of their route.
Yes, probably unlikely, but you never know for sure.

Well, I wasn't really looking for this persay, but I was camping to tame Skoll on the ledge above the village by the blue protodrakes. After many hours of staring at blank snow my NPC Scan went off and he flew right over me. He probably wasn't more than 20-30 feet off the ground so there wasn't a problem with tagging him and bringing him down.
Time was about 4:25 Bloodscalp.
Good luck to everyone looking for him!

FINALLY after farming this thing fairly consistantly since expansion released back late last year.
http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab38/NeverfearWoWpics/WoWScrnShot_091709_032048.jpg
I was sitting there reading about Premonition getting the world first Tribute to Insanity just minding my own business at around 3:20 a.m. today my NPC_Scan starts going crazy and sure enough, this guy finally decides to make an appearance for me.
After countless days of waiting around Bor's Breath i can say that this mount was worth every second spent out there.
EDIT: just to confirm all the spawn timers and all that jazz....Another TLPD was killed at around 3:30am. Almost exactly 24 hours after i got mine a Druid on my realm Stormrage US got it. Amazing luck i think on both our parts.

I got this mount on DragonMaw 08/17/2009. I got it by actually camping it for over 3 weeks. Everyday when I got back from college i would do my homework and park my toon directly on top of the lake at Bor's Breath. 3 weeks went by and no luck, not even a dead one. Well last night around 1am when i was finally ready to give up i decided to give one more round before I logged off. Well to my surprise right when i passed the lake it spawned right in front of me. =) I was extremely happy since this is one of the hardest mounts to obtain. Just wanted to let you guys know to not give up hope and you WILL find it.

FINALLY I found Vyragosa alive so I could get my Frostbitten achievement! Its not TLPD, but its atleast something. Have only found Vyra two times, one of those times before I even knew about those two. After months of camping... maybe will take some more months before I get TLPD :P
Will go back in six hours and see if one of them spawn.
Ive found all three Vyragosa's between Valkyrion and Snowdrift Plains.
Now Im not sure if I should camp there, Brunnhildar Village or Bor's Breath, so I just fly between them all the time :>
Edit: Went back six hours later, no spawn(what I could see). Im so tired...

have no idea why people are downrating your comment. people come on hear to look for tips or read what others have experienced and when a good comment comes up about time lost they downgrade it, bizzare if you ask me.
as for it not spawning for so long (over 3 weeks) i mit ask a GM if theres a problem with the RNG, although we might be unlucky with it not spawning.

I've been camping this drake for 12 days on a medium population server, putting in roughly 5-12 hours a day camping and patrolling. My camping times are not in one bulk - they can range from one hour to several hours, and my time tends to be a relatively even split between camping and patrolling.
------
08/09/2009 7:56pm (GMT: 09/09/2009 1:56am)
34,66 - Vyragosa killed. She approached low from the east, flying west along Bor's Breath. On this occasion it is highly probable that Vyra spawned from 35,76.
10/09/2009 1:15pm (GMT: 10/09/2009 6:15pm)
28,48 - Vyragosa found dead. Found on the Snowdrift Plains.
10/09/2009 9:05pm (GMT: 11/09/2009 2:05am)
27,60 - Vyragosa found dead. Found in Valkyrion. Most likely spawn location: 31,70.
13/09/2009 9:00am (GMT: 13/09/2009 2:00pm)
29,67 - Vyragosa killed. Saw Vyra approach the lake at Bor's Breath while camping above it. She was flying diagonally out of the mountain directly from spawn location 31,70.
15/09/2009 7:45am (GMT: 15/09/2009 12:45pm)
34,66 - Vyragosa killed. She approached low from the east, flying west along Bor's Breath as I was camping above the lake. Decided to follow her on her flight path before killing her, and she flew anti-clockwise around Frosthold. On this occasion Vyra spawned from 35,76.
15/09/2009 10:50pm (GMT: 16/09/2009 3:50am)
41,64 - Time-Lost Proto Drake found dead. Based on his corpse location, his spawn point was most likely 51,71, possibly 52,34. Time-To Stop Camping. Camped less from this point. :D
18/09/2009 12:30am (GMT: 18/09/2009 5:30am)
28,79 - Vyragosa killed. She approached low from the east, flying west along Bor's Breath as I was camping above the lake. Tagged her and let her attack me for a bit while my gf flew over and got the kill for her Northern Exposure / Frost Bitten achievement. On this occasion Vyra spawned from 35,76.
19/09/2009 11:34am (GMT: 19/09/2009 4:34pm)
31,69 - Vyragosa killed. Saw Vyra approach me while camping closely to spawn 31,70. She flew directly out of the mountain from spawn location 31,70, killed at 29,67.
20/09/2009 12:04am (GMT: 20/09/2009 5:04am)
31,66 - Vyragosa killed. She approached low from the east, flying west along Bor's Breath. On this occasion Vyra spawned from 35,76.
20/09/2009 1:33pm (GMT:20/09/2009 6:33pm)
36,76 - Time-Lost Proto Drake killed. After buying an item with a few Conquest Emblems, I decided to continue past my Bor's Breath camp spot for a moment, and instead checked the spawn point in Bor's Fall. As I approached, the TLPD came out of the mountain at spawn point 35,76.
------
I'd like to make it very clear that from my first hand visual experience, the spawn point 31,70 is 100% confirmed for Vyragosa, and spawn point 35,76 is 100% confirmed for the Time-Lost Proto Drake. Logically I can probably assume both creatures emerge from both spawn points. I think it's highly highly probable that all the points depicted in the video link below are entirely 100% accurate for both Vyragosa and the Time-Lost Proto Drake.
If you camp one/some/all of these spots, you will 100% acquire the reins of this mount, eventually.
Also, if you're on a busy server with a lot of competition, I suggest instead of camping directly above the lake, you camp at 31,67. This is because you'll be closer to covering both 31,70 and 35,76 spawns, and you have a higher chance of NPC Scan going off first and thus reaching the Time-Lost Proto Drake or Vyragosa before anyone else.

My camping time has ended. No TLPD though...For the past two weeks or so, I've been camping Bor's Breath at least 8-10 hours a day / night, but I guess I'm just an unlucky guy. The time before that, though I camped roughly 3-5 hours a day (not a whole lot). My game time ended this morning, and I'm not renewing it for School / College reasons. I just wanted to post to show the list of kills that I logged.
Vyragosa / TLPD / Skoll / Dirkee sightings:
5/17: Vyra sighted: Killed by me, witnessed spawn. Spawned at 4:58 over waterfall at Bor's Breath. Skinned by me.
5/21: Vyra Sighted: Killed by me. Spawned at waterfall? 2:40-2:42 AM
*Went away for Camp / Vacation*
7/31: Vyra spawned at frozen lake over Waterfall. Another's Kill, My skin. 9:10 PM spawn? Killed at 9:12.
8/02: Vyra spawned at frozen lake over Waterfall. My Kill, My skin. 4:39 PM spawn. Killed at 4:40.
8/16: Vyra spawned at Valk. at most likely 7:45PM. Killed / Skinned her at 7:50PM.
8/29: Vyra Spawned and killed at frozen Waterfall at 12:02 AM (2 Minutes after midnight). My kill, my skin.
9/06: Vyra Spawned at middle of Frosthold mountain near Frozen Lake at 1:40AM. Killed and Skinned.
9/07: Vyra spawned at frozen lake waterfall at Bor's Breath at 10:44PM. Killed and skinned.
9/15: Vyra spawned and killed at frozen lake waterfall at Bor's Breath. 6:08 PM Spawn.
9/16: Vyra spawned and killed at frozen lake, but spawned at Valk / Snowdrift. 4:25AM spawn.
9/16: Vyra sighted east of Bor's Breath (Ruined path chasm with harpies, supposed Bor's Fall spawn (35, 76)) and killed and skinned by me. Sighted and killed at 8:48PM.
9/19: Vyra sighted over Brun. Village at 7:34AM. Killed and skinned by me.
9/20: Vyra
and
Skoll spotted at Frozen lake. Skoll spawned there, but Vyra patrolled from Bor's Fall. Both must have spawned at roughly the same time. Both Killed and skinned at 4:05AM. Dirkee also Spotted today at 4:15AM, roughly 10 min later, north of Camp Tunka'lo. Killed by me. Skoll spotted later today at 4:55PM. Helped another Hunter tame it.
These are my times. As I've said, I'm not the luckiest of guys. I mostly camped Bor's Breath (frozen Lake) and saw something spawn there every few days.
I'm on the server Elune, which is a High-Pop server, so there were always a few people in the Storm Peaks at some point, not to mention either camping or patrolling. Very competitive too, no one would want to share information, so it was hard to get all the information together.
Well, this has been my TLPD experience. Although I didn't camp a whole lot, I have to say it was a very disappointing experience. I never even saw the TLPD, dead or alive, and the thought about it nearly drove me insane by the end of it. I definitely enjoyed the rushes when you heard that NPC_Scan alert go off, and on my good days it was kinda fun, and I would probably still camp if I could. I would change my camping spot, though, the Frozen lake seems to be cursed for me.
Anyway, hopefully the rest of you have better luck than I did.

Today, when flying from K3 to the Argent Tournament after doing the daily quest capturing snowbolds, I discover Vyragosa's corpse at 37.1,69.7.
A warlock killed it, and we chat a bit about Vyragosa and TLPD when a hunter comes and skin the corpse. I said it wasnt a good idea as some of us like to know when it despawns to keep track of her and TLPDs spawntimers and such.
He then says he missed TLPD ten minutes after he killed Vyragosa, meaning they dont share spawn timer.
I dont know... its hard to believe him, espeically when he misspelled Vyragosa's name.
I told him he shouldve frapsed it since most people think they share spawntimer, and that he could prove all of us wrong. He told me he didnt have frapsed installed and will fraps it "next time"(haha).

I killed him at about 11:46am (Frostmourne server time), and npcscan never went off. (yes my cache was clear and it was still highlighted in the box)
I saw him fly past...... and thought he was just another player on a mount..... but players don't tend to have "Elite" when you mouse over them ;)
He spawned at one of the usual spots, which was just on Bor's Breath (by the lake). Ended up killing him at 47.1, 54.4.

Yes, its confirmed several times that Vyra and TLPD share the timer. I personally wouldnt trust any GM that says something about it. I have seen so much wrong stuff on screenshots so guys be careful ;-).
And why ask GM's ? All is said. Watch that vid and you know all you can. Spawnpoints, routes, everything.
There are just 2 little things left to say:
1. Vyra(so i think the TLPD will do this too) definitively can fly the "red" and the "green" path in both directions. Of course no big thing if u camp the Spawnpoints ^^.
2. The only(and last ^^) thing i want to know is if their respawntimer resets after a server-reset.

I killed tlpd today at 8:15 central on US Colifang. I was looking for him for about 3 weeks, 4-5 hrs a day, usually patrolling Bor's breath area. So today i left my toon camping above frozen lake in breath and went to watch Colts beating up on Arizona on Sunday night football. Suddenly mu npc scan went off as i went to the computer drake was flying below me, fairly close to the ground. I aggro'd him and killed him really quick, before other people showed up.

I saw Vyragosa killed right in front of me Saturday morning at 3:30am so I went to sleep for 5.5 hours and woke up to camp over the lake at Bor's Breath. I camped allllll day until around 11:30pm that evening only to have a horde(i'm alliance) motion for me to follow him and pointed to where the time lost had just been killed just down a ways in bor's breath by the engine of makers and brunnhildar village.
this is the second time now where i've camped all day expecting the time lost to show up at some point and just missed him because he probably spawned over brunnhildar village instead of at the bor's breath lake. hmmmf.

Killed Vyragosa last night. Spawned right below me over the frozen lake in Bor's breath (Where all the harpies are, between the canyon and Val) around 3:27 AM on Stonemaul (PST time). Followed her for about 5 minutes before killing her. She flew through the canyon, turned left at the end of the canyon to head through the frost wyrms up there, went to the north wall of the wyrms, went through the watchers area (where Loken's minions are) and eventually started to loop around to head to the front of Ulduar. That's where I killed her, in front of Ulduar.
I have a question regarding NPCscan. Obviously if a rare mob comes in range of your view it goes off, alerts you etc. However, if the mob actually spawns in front of you, already in viewing distance, will it go off?

Just killed Vyragosa for the first time today at 3:23pm after a week of broken up camping in various places in Storm Peaks. Downed her on Bor's Breath almost right next to where the harpies are at. What made me wonder after I killed her was: how did no one else see her? I saw a ton of horde flying around the Bor's Breath area, and from what it looks like, Vyra spawned down by the waterfall and then flew up and around towards me. Just got lucky with that I guess.
Anyways, now that Vyra is down, time to look for the TLPD... Not sure if I should stay in the same spot I am now, where I found Vyra, or try elsewhere?

As you all surely know, both dragons have the same,static spawnpoints. They where already written in this thread and i now can confirm 3 of that 4 points to be 100% true after camping that points with 3 chars at the same time. Im convinced all 4 are true.
I just write this, because some guys here wonder why no one else saw the dragon while a lot of other guys flew around.
Thats because you saw them shortly after their spawn. So you were close to one of their spawnpoints ^^.

well my time lost protodrake hunt is finally over, after searching nearly 3 months for this son of a ^&*!@ i finally got my chance, and this time, i took my chance.
i was in bors breathe this morning at my usuall camping spot but unfortunately i was not alone. undead warlock had parked his ass right in my spot, although he was afk. But me being me i started attacking with heroic throw as a way of saying ' get out of my spot'. i could see he wouldnt move so i just let him be. i then looked at server time which was 13:58 so going on my hour theory i waited at my spot. it ticked 14:00 and BAMMM NPCscan goes crazy. i then looked at what it had found, as i saw the picture my heart rate increased by 100%. IT WAS TIME LOST. i then flew further down bors breathe.....and there he was,untagged. my first thought was' OH NOES TEH HORDE' but lucky for me he was still afk. so i tagged to the side and nuked it down. my heart still pumping as a see a glittering protodrake infront of me. i the looted it and felt so happy.

i then mounted up on my new protodrake. as i then proceeded to just stare at its corpse till it despawned lol. just wanna say a big thanks to everyone that posted here, but espicially to twilightsky for posting all the vyra/timelost kills for our server (auchindoun) <3.and this guy deserves more than anyone as he has camped for ages, dnt worry mate ull get it im sure. im not just saying this coz i have it but just as some of the other posts have stated, if you put enough time and effort in it then its not a matter of IF but a matter of WHEN.

Let me tell you these guys. I started looking for him about 2 weeks ago. For two days I searched endlessly, I finally had given up. Today I was questing for Sons of the Hodir Near K3. I fly a little north because some one had search that was a titanium vein near. Make a long story short. I never found the vein. Flew back Saw him Right in front of me, I quickly demount and cast judgement of the wise on him, (I'm so excited a this point I forgot to bubble) died on the ground(I almost cried). Went back to my body, spammed my macro to target him, no avail. I ask in general chat if anyone has seen him, no luck. I fly around his patrol area, I see a Drenai paladin on a bronze drake. I fly a little north of her, Here he comes the Timed-Lost flying towards us. I quickly judgement him and Bubble this time. Get the kill and she cheers for me. Sorry, Better luck nice time. Happy hunting.

Hi everyone, since I'm a fan of detailed posts to help other people out, here's my contribution. I just downed TLPD about an hour ago on Blackwater Raiders
Time: 6:50am Pacific time (Server time)
Coords: 30,65 at Bor's Breath (always facing east)
About two weeks ago I decided to renew my motivation to get this mount. I scrapped the old 'spam the macro' approach because I wanted something hands off where I didn't have to mash buttons all day. So I found a few add ons that most of you are probably using...to help sound an event when rare spawns are near. This was INCREDIBLY useful.
During some weekend afternoons (and occassional mornings while at work) when I wasn't actively playing I camped at the SAME spot. Right at Bor's Breath, 30,65 basically the same point. I rarely flew around, because I am convinced, as others, that one of Vyragosa's and TLPDs spawn points are near there. I simply had WoW minimized but sound up so I could hear any events. I can report that in about two weeks of mildly aggressive camping (maybe 30 hours total sitting at this spot), I killed Vyragosa four times and TLPD once. Each time they flew the exact same path right over my head. They came into view at Bor's Breath flying west bound toward Valkyrion village. I've never seen Vyragosa or TLPD outside of this spot, personally...but that's probably because I camped and never actively flew around that much.
I never saw TLPD after killing Vryagosa....and inversely my TLPD kill was an isolated incident, I never saw Vyragosa that morning.
The nice thing about both of them, is they take their time...and stop to kill NPCs on their route...so they are easy to chase down if they fly above or below you without aggro. Just obtain some sort of audible event when they're near you and you should get it. Not to mention I've encountered a few other rare spawns around northrend and outlands too...the add-ons scare the crap out of you when they go off and you're not expecting those alerts...but its very helpful!

I have been camping this exact spot for roughly 20 hours (about 5 hours a night). I have not seen Vyra or TLPD yet. I know BB is a common kill spot so i'm not moving until TLPD is dead.
Anyway thanks for this post! Keeps me motivated to keep this spot.

There are a few ways you can camp Time-Lost. You can camp in a spot every chance you get till you get your mount. You can do circles around Storm Peaks every chance you get till you get your mount. You can occasionally do a fly through Storm Peaks in hopes that before you get put in a nursing home you will get your mount.
I have read through many websites and
Bor's Breath
is statistically the best spot to find Time-Lost. This is due to 3 flight paths intersecting here and there is a spawn point near
Frosthold @30,68
.

routes just remember that you are lowering your chances of tagging Time-Lost because the drake rarely gets far from where it spawns.
If you plan on doing this hardcore the best idea is to camp a known spawn point. I prefer
here
Don't spend a whole lot of time trying to figure out the secret formula to the spawn time. Trust me, I have written down on a note pad every confirmed kill time (server times only) from Wowhead and Thottbot. Nothing adds up except that it will spawn........eventually.
Don't listen to anything from any website unless it is supported with a screenshot or a video. You don't have time to listen to assumptions. People saying they have seen Time/Vyra within minutes of each other are full of poo unless they have a screenshot.
Here is the macro I use. I removed Dirkee for obvious reasons. I added Skoll so I can help a hunter if he spawns in Bor's Breath.

YES ^^, got my TLPD Nr 3 Yesterday at 11:53 PM. Directly spawned at the mountain near the frozen lake at BB. Had 2 other chars placed at 2 of the 3 other spawnpoints. Had no char at the brunnhildar-spawnpoint, cuz i knew Vyra last spawned there(killed her right after her spawn there at same day at 5:30 PM). And i just had 3 CHars for camping cuz a friend had other plans^^. Nearly 1,5 Weeks camped for my third TLPD.
When my next char reaches 80 i will farm TLPD again but for now im glad and will enjoy the last days of the brewfest ^^.

does anyone else here think that this mount will no longer be obtainable in cataclysm? i hope they remove this NPC as it needs to stay rare.
评论来自
MuzZ
I honestly doubt they will remove this one. It will be rare no matter what as long as they don't change the spawn rate. Baron Mount is still here with an increased drop rate so I dont see this guy going away. Blizzard wants mounts like the Ulduar drakes to become unattainable because they get easier to get with every content patch.
I will say that I do agree with you though. After I get this guy I would really like to know that I have something no one else can ever get.

I may be wrong but normally "spawn" means that the dragon suddenly appears at a spawnpoint, or not ? Much people here say that he "spawned"(for example) right in front of them. This means they suddenly saw him but he already flew around. This is a little bit irritating. Or am i wrong ? Normally you have to say "i saw im at...." and not "he spawned at....", right ?
(sorry for my bad english ^^)
评论来自
MuzZ
You are correct. One bad thing about how WoW works is it is hard to see if something is truly spawning or just appearing. If you are sitting still and something pops in front of you that is also sitting still then I think it is safe to say it "spawned". If you are flying on a 280% mount and you see something appear in front of you then I honestly wouldn't say it spawned because almost everything kinda appears in front of you when you are flying, especially something that is moving towards you. I know what you mean though and it is irritating trying to figure out where he really "spawns". The only place I am comfortable saying he spawns is 30,67 in Bor's Breath because when he appears he is sitting still for a second then starts flying. Other than that I cannot confirm any other spot cause I have not seen it.

R4ndomizer
True, 31/70 is the spawnpoint for the "green" route. The spot where he flies out of the mountain i call "angry eye" cuz it looks like one ^^. Got my 3 TLPD last wednesday at exact that point ^^. He had a short live ^^.

I'm currently camping between both Bor's Breath spawn points (The frozen waterfall and the west side of the Frosthold mountain. I'm flying a bit above the ground at 30,67).
At 15:00 exactly, I both received my chance to kill Vyragosa, and a massive heart attack from how loudly my NPCscan alarm went off, when she spawned out of the mountain by Frosthold.
21 hours spent here now, and I don't plan on moving anytime soon.
Edit 1: At 00:00, I found Vyragosa flying down the valley towards me. Of course, I began to fly towards her, and found that my laptop is so terrible that moving put me down to (apparently) less than 1 FPS. I managed to tag her and kill her (almost dying in the process due to the FPS).

I know how you feel haha. I get the occasional alliance rogue who will stealth in and mount up on his TLPD right in front of me just to give me a heart attack. I am camping the same spot as you and in 3 days I have seen Vyragosa 2 times and TLPD once. 2 of the times it was right out of that mountain they spawned.

To start things out... my friends hate me for being lucky. :P I previously got the blue protodrake on my first H UP run, and Raven Lord on my fourth.
I've on-off camped Time Lost for the past couple of months. I usually got bored after an hour or two, though, so nothing hardcore. Recently i decided I needed to have Skoll, so I've spent a few hours here and there camping that. Tonight, after getting rejected from a guild run of TOC (QQ for fps issues) I figured i'd do my usual run for Skoll. Kept an empty slot, switched to BM, and went to my usual camp spot. For some reason, I alt-tabbed out and ended up on this page. Figured what the hell, I'd switch my camp spot to the Bor's Breath one for Skoll, in hopes of finding TLPD.
Imagine my sheer shock as, flying up Bor's Breath, my NPCscan goes off... and it's the drake! I freaked out, since I have low graphic settings and am flying in "fog" usually, so I frantically tabbed around... managed to target it, flew into it, and aggro'd it to the ground. I had no pet cos I was camping Skoll, was in BM spec, and my "summon stabled pet" was on CD... so I melee'd him to death! Good thing he's an easy fight!
My guild now hates me... especially my best friend who's been camping this bad boy for months! This makes mount number 83, so I'm getting close... :)

Just killed it about an hour ago on EU-Azuremyst.
Have camped it off and on the last 6 weeks. A lot of hours time-lost and different tactics tried. Became obsessed in the process :D
Finally (first tlpd witnessed) It appeared flying down the trench at roughly 50-70 yards height when it came over the frozen lake.
This was roughly 13 hrs after the last Vyra spawn I saw in BB, so pretty consistent with the Vyra spawns I've seen before.
The Vyra spawns Ive seen almost always follow 6hrs plus minus an hour or a multiple of that after Vyra was last killed . So 5-7hrs, 11-13hrs, or 23-25hrs after last seen. I don't say that this is the facts, but it is as Ive have experienced it.
I guess my TLPD spawned at the spawnspot 36,73 then flew counter-clockwise down the trench until it found me. All Vyra spawns Ive seen coming down the trench was counter-clockwise.
Finally Im free, no more turning down raids, no more "just checking if the sounds turned up"...

Read the posts. No there is ZERO information that says tlpd will spawn in a location after X amount of time after a previous kill. Its random and always will be. You either get lucky or you sit and wait until you get him.
评论来自
R4ndomizer
Theres a 6-24 hour spawntimer. If one of the dragons is killed the timer resetts and there will be 6 hours with no spawn. After this 6 hours up to 24 hours after that kill there WILL BE a spawn of Vyragosa OR tlpd. It can spawn in this time every minute or second, theres no rule. Its absolutely random.
And there are 4 STATIC spawnpoints, one for every route. Every spawn happens in one of these points. This means if you have 4 Chars(4 Accs ^^) you can camp all 4 spownpoints and will get 100 % of the kills, Vyragosa AND tlpd-kills.
Its all in this thread, so why are there so many questions left ? ^^

I camped Bor's Breath at the bend that head's to the Engine for about 1.5 hours. NPC scan picked him up, he was coming from Bar's Fall.
I tagged him with Heroic Throw and used Snowfall Lager, but I must have lagged cause I died, with the Lager on CD... Go figure.
Lucky the Gyard is close and I managed to re-tag at the Valkyrion intersection.

Most of this above is true ^^ BUT:
The spots shown on your picture are NO spawnpoints ! On that waterfall there is no spawnpoint, and 30/68 is NO spawnpoint. Maybe you have that information from a picture i saw too ^^. It shows a tlpd-spawnpoint(in ocre ^^) a little bit below Vyragosa's(in red). My 3 tlpd spawned 8 days ago from EXACT the same place above that is shown as only Vyragosas spawnpoint.

I was standing at the ramp in front of Bouldercrag's Refuge for quite a while, having a long and serious talk in whisper with a friend, when suddenly my "NPCscanner" addon went berserk - it had spotted the Time-Lost Proto Drake.
Before I had realised what was happening it was gone, but I caught up with it fairly easy. I think my friend said something like "Lucky bastard" when I excused my minute of distraction and told him why - and I guess he is right ;-)
Someone probably did it before me, but I can most definately confirm that it comes flying past Bouldercrag's Refuge from the East, and then heads a litlle to the South West and continues along the mountainside west of Snowdrift Plains.
Good luck to all the Time-Lost hunters outthere :-)

(all times are Server Time - GMT+1)
_NPCscan is a must, Silver Dragon helps by leaving markers on your map showing you where you’ve killed certain rares, and also keeps track of amount of times seen and time since last sighted. A cords addon is also recommended.
Some sort of slow fall; I personally used a parachute cloak (engineering) which works perfectly well but if you have other proffessions Snowfall Lager works a treat too.
I camped either 51/71 or 31/70 alternately for a week after the first TLPD spawn (although the first Vyra I saw after the TLPD was on the 35/76 route. After this I camped exclusively at 31/66 which I found worked well, as I got all of the spawns from 31/70 and most of the spawns from 35/76. I camped quite high, so not to be seen by every alliance that flew past. For those that want to know exactly It was underneath the weird symbol in the mountain ((31/70) where incidentally they spawn from) directly below this is a white patch in the mountain I lined myself up with this.
The two spawn sites I have witnessed definite spawns from (i.e. Vyragosa or Time-Lost coming directly out of the rock face) are 51/71 in Brunnhildar Village and 31/70 in Bor’s Breath (Frozen Lake). I regularly killed Vyragosa spawning from 35/76 although I never camped there so can’t confirm the actual spawn location.
I have tried camping at 52/34 and nothing has spawned there, which I’m pretty annoyed about, as I was on my way from a camping session there to start one at 51/71 when I found the TLPD dead. Had I been just 20 minutes earlier my hunt would have been over 5 days in.
There have been rumors/theories that the Time-Lost Proto-Drake and Vyragosa have slightly different spawn points – I can say from my experience this was not the case – the Time-Lost that I saw spawned from the exact same spot as Vyragosa had done.
The theory about it being on a 6 hours spawn cycle can’t be completely correct as, although I know I’ve missed some spawns, each spawn that I’ve seen has NOT happened at a bang on 6 hour interval. I’ve also read that it could be a mix of 6, 8 or 12 hour spawns with an option for the rare to not spawn, which for a while I thought might be correct, as a number of my spawns have happened at 14 hours (6h+8h) after a Vyra kill. But then I’ve had a 13 hour interval and a 17 hour interval. The smallest spawn time I’ve witnessed was an 8 hour spawn. The way I see it is that the spawn timer is between 6 and 24 hours – beyond that I can only offer suggestions.
Probably the most helpful thing I can suggest for those not wanting to camp 24/7 is that from most of the spawns I’ve seen both Vyragosa and Time-Lost Proto-Drake like to spawn roughly the same time within an hour from the time they were last killed (generally give or take 5 minutes either side). For example: on the 24/Sep I killed Vyra at 16.44 and then on the 25/Sep I killed her at 00.46. This wasn’t true all the time but as a rough rule it helped. I also found that when it broke this theory/rule it seemed to spawn at either **.30 or **.00 as a sort of reset – at least sometimes. This seemed to happen when it strayed too much from the **.30 or **.00 times.
Melee Classes do not worry! Yes, Vyragosa can be a pain to pull down as she loves her ranged attack. But the TLPD is not the same he will come within melee range after you agro him. (I have confirmed this by testing it on the PTR, multiple attacks on a TLPD with the same result every time.)
I tried speaking to 3 GMs and although they all seemed determined not to tell me anything of importance or even confirm anything, I did get one slightly interesting comment from one GM:
the Time-Lost Proto-Drake has a “maximum spawn timer”
– i.e. he will definately spawn within a certain amount of time – all I can confirm is that it is a month or more – my guess would be a month, as it would be a nice round number and is a reasonably long time.
Be friendly to other rare hunters; if Skoll pops up try selling his location before just killing him, he’s not an achievement rare and a lot of Hunters are looking for him. Whisper people you think might be looking for the TLPD don’t share details obviously but it’s nice to know who else is looking, add them as friends and this way you can see who is actively looking for the Time-Lost.
It is particularly difficult to camp this without the support of guild members/wow friends/multiple accounts/nice housemates. If you do want to definitely get this within a reasonable amount of time - I would suggest bribing, blackmailing or downright demanding the assistance of another wow player who you can trust. Saying that I camped this pretty much by myself with my kind housemates keeping me from logging out when I was afk and listening out for _NPCscan going off.
*Edit* One last thing - after posting this and reading the last 24 hours of posts here there have been 5 TLPD kills across different servers within 24 hours,

We need to put in all these hints together. I also had a GM drop me a very interesting bit of info last night. I made a joke about him spawning time lost for me and he goes "Ha i would
but only 2 rare spawns can be up in Northrend at a time,
" So that is another factor to take into account about spawn times.

Ok so i have been looking for Tlpd for around 200hrs now, so far i have killed vyra 3 times dirkee 4 times and skoll once. everytime i have killed dirkee it has been on the hour ie:5pm/3pm etc same with skoll. but vyra has been different 2/3 times i have killed her i saw her spawn from the mountains 1 at 51/71 and 1 at 31/70 but each time i have killed her it has been 7.34pm then 5.34pm then 4.34pm. The only 1 left is Tlpd and i strongly believe as most have said here its all about timing if you crave this drake and really know ur stuff you will get it! Keep ur faith and just believe that round that corner is aTlpd.

Okay people, believe me if you want or don't, but i think/believe that i have found a theory as to when Time-Lost will spawn. So far i have not been proved wrong on my server, and dont say "its just luck" because whenever its happend i've just seen a corpse. I believe that there is a pattern on the days he spawns. That it drops 2 days between each interval of days ( That probably doesnt help) but i mean like on my server its gone "11days til a spawn 9days till spawn 7days till spawn 5days till spawn" it'll then go 3days 1day and then round to 16 days and go down in even numbers. Personally i can see this explaining other players theorys when they've gone wrong. I still dont know when during the day it'll spawn and to find what the pattern is you gotta record its death a few times. By the way the last two spawns i have predicted and low and behold they have spawned. I hope this helps. :)

This morning after the reset there was only 5 ppl in storm peaks so flew around looking but no luck, i had just finished a 12 hr shift so i fell asleep for over 2hrs at my comp but when i quered the server on whether Tlpd had dropped it said it had even though 2hrs b4 it wudnt give me the info. Does it cache the item as soon as a player who has it still in their bags come online or just straight after reset?

I would like to thank all the people who have posted "good" information on here. I got my TLPD at 2:25pm 10/14/2009 on Shattered Hand just as it got to Brunnhildar Village, coming up from K3. It took me almost 5 full days before I saw my first TLPD, which I got. To anyone trying for this mount, it will come if you just keep at it. Best of luck
*To the two posters below me* I camped for 5 full days, meaning 24hrs a day, it's just a matter of when it will spawn in place of Vyragosa. I posted the same information that helped me get mine (I devised a plan based off the the same type of information I gave, nothing else) The server will be irrelevant in a matter of hours, so that's not really going to help anyone. In my 5 day camp I killed Vyragosa 7 times and I can tell you that her spawn time and place is RANDOM, so besides the flight paths all this information is worthless.
If I was inconsiderate I wouldn't of posted at all... The entire point of my post was to inspire those whose morale might be low (like mine was) and also to thank the people who took time out of their day to post this information for others to see, even though it wouldn't benefit them in any way. Sorry if you guys have a problem with my post... but the type of post I made was the type that helped me... I can't help it if you guys need more information to accomplish the same feat.

I just found it moments ago. He flew very close to K3, (a few seconds away from the flight master) albeit kind of high in the air.
Solo'd as a 77 shaman, but just barely. I don't know what he did, but kiting him down to the ground took about 7k hp out of me alone. After hes on the ground he fights like a wet paper bag though.
Maybe I'm lucky but I found him the day I started looking for him. Took about 4 hours though.
Bright side for me, Free mount :P

Got mine last night 3:50am server time (Quel'Thalas EU) in Valkyrion, after pretty much two weeks of camping. Don't have that much statistics to offer you, but the place where I camped was 30.5, 66. Height was pretty much on the lower part of the hole on the mountain wall. Was sleeping and the NPCScan went off, ran to the computer and tagged it quickly with blurred vision, no problems after that.
At this point everybody should know all the needed facts'n strats (the kill is extremely easy, I didn't have any buffs on and I had 3 other guys on me at the same time). I got Vyragosa pretty much once a day on that spot, it being on the junction of 3 of the routes makes it a statistically probably the best place to be. I personally didn't got any logic on the spawn times, but they all fell in the category of "at least once a day" plus I'm not sure how many times it had spawned on the K3-route during that time.
At this point somebody might think, how it's possible that I wasn't AFK while I was sleeping. Since this isn't the right place to share details of such information (no, it's not a bot, it's something your computer just... does, with a tiny bit of code) and I would personally hate to see people using that e.g. on PvP, so I'm not gonna reveal it. All I can say, that if you Google long enough, you will find the answer. Keep the hunt up, and when you get yours, let the other hunters know (politely!) so they can have their break.

Finally after hours upon hours, days upon days I found and killed this handsome drake while making my circuit around checking the spawnpoints. If you are unfamiliar with the flight areas and/or like a visual with where the rare pops up I would suggest npcscan overlay along with npcscan & silverdragon addons. The only thing with the overlay is the color can interfere with parts of your map so its one of those youll either like it or hate it for camping the rares. It helps if you have any guildies/friends or people in the general channel to help with finding out spawn times/locations. I was lucky enough to have a guildie who was looking for vyra to help me for a few days with locations before he finally got her for his achievement. I pretty much camped nonstop from the getgo with the exception of when I needed breaks before raids and as im sure there arent that many that want to go to that length just find out last spawn time and check around 6+ hours later.
Note of advice though, if you can get a good amount of info on the most popular kill spot (i.e. - place vyra/tlpd has been killed the most), camp at or near that spot. As you can see on my server the most popular was the bors breath area so I pretty much camped there with doing a circuits around at the top of the hour. All the other helpful information here is pretty much dead on so if this post doesnt help you then the others should. Dont give up hope, dont lose sanity and itll all be worth it in the end. ^^ Happy Hunting!

Keep in mind that this guy doesnt have a 100% droprate on the mount. Its 97%. Even though you most likely will get this if you kill him you are not 100% guaranteed it will. One of my guildmates, found the mob, killed him, and the mount didnt drop :/. Talk about bad luck..

While searching for Skoll, I found him pathing south of the frozen lake enroute to the pass below Frosthold in Rohemdal Pass. He was nearly below frost hold and amongst the harpies.
the listed macro I call 'Illidan's wake up call' worked like a charm. It spots the target from miles away.
I almost fell to my death in the fall in my rush to tag the mob, so wear all the stamina gear you can (so you don't do anything bone headed as me)
He was found 2:34 am 10/20/09 on Velen server.
dropped satchel w/ 50 gold a blue 'of the champion' neck piece, 5 crystalized air, 20 frostweave

additionally, some one killed Dirkee roughly 2 hours before my TLPD kill. Maybe it helps for theories.
edit: the body remains for some time. kill was at 2:34 and second screen shot much later.
still tracking skoll.
sorry i don't have a good map, the mini map should help a bit.

The reason for the 97% drop rate listed is because Wowhead records the people who were able to loot it - this includes groups loots etc.. so obviously not everyone in a group is going to recieve the reins of the time-lost proto-drake. But the mob always drops it 100%.

By the way guys, I'm also hunting for this mount, but I'm just wondering: how far away can you see this mob? Is it like Vyragosa which you can see from really far away or just like the regular proto-drakes at the Foot Steppes? Just wondering since I'm camping at the Frozen Lake and I'm wondering if I can see it spawning above Valkyrion from there.

Got it lastnight in Brunhilde Village after searching on and off for a year. Some days I would circle for 2 hours. Once I spent a whole week, 6 hours a day, watching TV waiting for the addon alarm to go off.
I was helping my girlfriend kill that harpy in Storm Peaks with my Lock. My main is a Warrior which I use for my achievements and such. So I told her I was bored and was going to switch toons and look for TLPD. I logged into my warrior at Dalaran and started to fly to Frosthold while my GF continued to quest in Storm Peaks.
Then over Vent she says, "What's this brown dragon flying around?" Before I could register the ramifications of what she said, she screams, "Oh its that time lost proto drake you are always talking about!"
I told her to tap it but she couldn't because she was on some eagle for a quest or something, and I was mid flight to frost hold. So I told her to keep an eye on it and don't lose sight of it! She managed to keep it in sight and I got to the flight point and headed over there. It was the longest 30 seoncds of my life. Every second I feared someone would tap it first.
So I got there and flew right through her to draw aggro. I looked for a place to land but it was a shear cliff near Brun. I decided to risk losing aggro and flew to the south edge of Brun. I dismounted midair and took 25% damage. I turned around and did heroic throw to pull her down to me at tap her at that point.
After that it was an easy kill, even without my GF healing me with her priest.
I'll post my picture later.
EDIT: I submitted a picture to screen shots or you can see it

I was dissapointed when i saw the black proto for the first time. K hes black but he looks "boring" in some way. No glowing mouth ....
Same with the red one.
Most ugly one(my opinion) is that "plaque-proto". Grey and brown Oo.
Most beautiful one is the blue(what else ^^) and i like the Ulduar-protos too.

Guys, I just got it. I was looking for this mount for few weeks back in January. Then I stopped playing the game for about 7months till last week.
A friend of mine told me that there is an addon NPCScan and it can find rare mobs. So today I remembered about this and installed the addon knowing that this is just useless and I will never find it.
I was at the Argent Grounds and got on the bird to Dalaran just a min after the flight i see the alert. My heart started pounding like crazy knowning that i am mounted and flying to Dalaran. But immediately i logged out and relog again. That happened just between Argent Grounds and Ulduar.
So after the relog the bird dropped me at Ulduar. I went back to the place and nothing damit. I was devastated :(.
Then I went on my old well known hunting path to the big hole in the centre of Icecrown coming from north directly from Ulduar. Just when I was near the hole i saw a strange looking drake on the other side of the hole (the south side) and he immediately disappeared because my video settings are low. So I went to him and there he was in all its beauty. I went to him he aggroed immediately.
I went on the ground and he followed me. I killed him for about few sec. And there he is :).
Here is the shot. EU Agamaggan !

After a full night of camping Bor's Breath, my NPC scan went crazy a few hours ago so I jumped out of bed hoping it was TLPD, but it was only Vyragosa.
Assuming that the next spawn time is about 6 hours from then, I am still sitting at Bors Breath hoping for the best. :/

It was late and I logged out inthere thinking I will start camping it too. at morning when I logged in - BANG - npcscan goes off showing time lost drake . cliked like crazy at the npcscan thingi no targeting . started flying around searching clicking like crazy and thinking maybe its proken and I cant target him by clickyng or the drake was dead and the corpse just dissapeared giving me a warning or what. at boars breath there he was. I was suprised that npcscan took him soo far away. tryied to tag him - too far away jumped off cliff and died trying to tag him. that was like the longest walking back to corpse ever even thou it was rly close it seemed like farest ever. got to corpse and followed the drake trying to find a spot to tag him but he was just too far in the air. at last found spot and moonfire - great tagged. then I discovered my healt was like below half becouse I died . bear form and frenzyed regeneration or whatever. killed it - heart still pumping like hell and still not beleiving my luck.

I, like many others, was intrigued (and partially obsessed) by this mount when I first heard of it. I immediately started researching the flight paths and spawn points, as well as tips provided by others here.
10/30 = First day of the hunt, I start circling through Storm Peaks, using /tar macro to find the drake. I did this for a couple hrs, then decided to pick up NPCscan. I came back and continued until about 5 am, then called it quits.
10/31 @ 1:15pm I had hoped to test the 6hr spawn rate of vyragosa...and figured that since I didn't spot vyragosa or the drake between 2am and 5am, that MAYBE I would have a chance today when I logged on around 11am since it would fall into the later half of a 6hr rotation from my earlier search. At 1:15pm, NPCscan picks up the drake...I'm shocked, click the link, only to see hunters mark and a serpent sting tag the mob before I even spotted it. The location was just alongside the waterfall leading from Bor's breath into K3...by the time I saw the mob it was just a corpse and the hunter was long gone. I had been heading south through Bor's breath at the time, and was probably seconds away from tagging the mob for my own...I had seen the Hunter camping at the spawn point right at the edge of the falls a few times while I was patrolling.
11/1 - @ 1:10am Almost exactly 12 hrs after the TLPD sighting I got a kill on Vyragosa. I had been patrolling throughout the day intermittently for about 2hr stretches with no luck whatsoever. Earlier on I had been making a large loop through SP crossing many long stretches of the FPs as suggested by others here. I decided that I would try something different this time around. I camped at the frozen lake in Bor's Breath for about 45 minutes or so, then went off to check the Dunn flight path by heading south along the river, up through engine of the makers and the drake field, then south into Dunn and eventually heading west along the cliffs and back North to Bor's. As soon as I got back and parked myself again, I noticed someone else camping near my location...I decided to take another patrol route and come back, when suddenly NPCscan alert goes off again. This time it was vyragosa. I couldn't see the mob at all, and frantically started circling when she suddenly appeared at a high altitude in the center of the frozen lake, right around 30.65. The other player never moved toward the mob, in fact I dont think he saw it from where he was camping...which was at the southern corner of the intersection, about 30.69. As a shaman, I flew in, grabbed aggro, and popped thunderbolt to tag the mob, followed by the Snowfall lager. To anyone hunting...this is going to be pretty much essential unless you can bubble or have a slowfall ability. Sure you may survive, but why risk it. Thanks to everyone who remembered to mention that in their tips...I wouldn't have managed without it. Anyway...she was an easy kill. I dropped the mob and quickly skinned her before anybody could get a sight of the corpse. With a 1:15pm and 1:10 am sighting...I think I have a pretty good window to work around for future hunting.
11/1 - @ 7:52pm I did not hunt in the morning around the timeframe of 7am when I would expect a spawn...I tried again around 1pm, but had to leave for work and did not spot vyragosa or the TLPD at that time. After work I went around SP again, starting with a large loop covering most of the routes, then focused on circling around the area near bor's breath. I basically followed paths that would be opposite of the direction that either of the dragon's would travel in, and I hit the 3 known spawn points in that area. There were quite a few others patrolling the area, with one camping at the frozen lake. Traveling south along the river from the frozen lake, I was headed to the large waterfall to check that spawn point near the cliffs at 35.76. NPCscan goes off again for vyragosa. I flew in to get aggro, popped the lightning bolt and missed...I was definitely not close enough, but was anxious to get the kill before anybody else spotted her. I had snowfall, and took a fairly long fall down the cliffs...should have checked the landing. I eventually hopped back on the mount, and caught up with her right by the small keyhole in the mountains that leads to engine of the makers. I flew into her, made sure I drew aggro, then landed and took her down before anybody else tagged her. Lesson learned...MAKE SURE you properly grab aggro, and that when you pop your snofall lager, you have someplace safe to land and take down the mob.
At this point, that brings me to
1 TLPD targetted
while still alive (but not killed by myself...unfortunately) and
2 vyragosa kills
...all within a
timeframe of less than 36hrs.
I'm pretty confident that I will get my TLPD...it's only a matter of time. Here are some tips that I would like to reiterate from what others have said both here and on forums.
- I would recommend against purely camping. Sure the intersection above the lakes is a hot spot...and I did get lucky once, but if there are others actively patrolling multiple spawn points, chances are the mob will be dead before it ever reaches you. I'd say if it's fairly quiet, you could get away with camping that area.
- To start your hunt, do a few loops around, check your /who list, and see how many people are in the area. You will begin to notice some familiar names and recognize people's favorite areas to camp. Get a leg up on them by patrolling the spawn points and taking paths that would allow you to intercept the mob before they see it, especially if they are camping at the frozen lake. This patrol will also help you confirm that a corpse isn't already laying around and you are waiting in vain for a spawn that is 6hrs away.
- Get NPCscan...I don't see any way around the ability of this addon, it is a MUST have....the npc overlay for the map also helps as well.
- Again, make sure that if you are going to aggro in the air, that you have an acceptable place to land when you use the snowfall lager. I got anxious and may have lost the mob completely...sure it was just vyra, but doing that on the TLPD would have been heartbreaking.
- If you can skin...skin vyra ASAP. Why clue ppl in to the last spawn time? Don't bother gloat over the corpse ;)
- Be persistent. From the sightings that I've had, I'd say the 6hr approximation could be pretty accurate for a respawn rate of vyra. If you are diligent, you should be able to predict when she will spawn within say a 2hr window. I would rather patrol for 2hrs 2-3x a day (if possible) than spend all day circling and guessing. The more you patrol and sight the mobs, the better idea you have of when to be in the area.
That's pretty much all I can offer...I'm sure I will have more sightings and kills as this goes on; I will post a short kill log once I'm done.
Happy hunting.

Hello folks, time to make my contribution on the hunt so far.
I started hunting this elusive mythic beast exactly one week ago. First I read up an all available info so far and concluded that best spot to camp it is indeed Bor's Breath, just above frozen lake. It is very near of two confirmed spawn points and it is on path of three of four possible flight paths. NPC addon is very much a must as well as loads of time available to spend in Storm Peaks. With that in mind I started this, well some say crazy, adventure. My first tactics was stay still above frozen lake then take short patrols to determine if there was a kill every 30min of both TLPD or Vyragosa. Later on when I saw that Vyragosa got killed in exactly my camping spot while on my 3 minute long patrol by another camper I decided that I'll leave my spot only when frozen lake is clear of other hunters.
This is my result over one week period time camping in excess of +12h per day : 3 Skoll kills by me, 1 Vyragosa kill by me, 2 Vyragosa dead on arrival, 0 Dirkee.
Now, I don't know if I'm really unlucky with Vyragosa/TLPD spawns or there is something else behind only 3 sightings in 7 days but from my experience it could be that on my realm (low populace) rare spawns are killed at lesser rate than on higher populace ones. I read somewhere that GM confirmed that only two rare spawns my be up on Northrend at any time. So if no one kills some poor rare for more than a few hours it will take more time for Vyragosa's turn to come and by the way I think there are 27 rare spawns in Northrend. Math here don't play into out hands. Now, this is only a speculation and I'm not sure on it.
One other thing. Despite my realm being low on populace there are on average +20 people in Storm Peaks at prime time and around +10 on average during the day.
Well, I'll not give up. The hunt goes on. I'll try to give my report next week too. Good luck to us all.

After getting TLPD, I began working on Bloody Rare and Frostbitten. That claim somewhere in this thread from a GM that there can only be 2 rares up in Northrend at a time seems more believable after going for these Achievements. If somehow it is proven to be true, one thing is for sure: Come Cataclysm, TLPD/Vyra camping is gonna be insanely difficult solo. You would need 3 accounts camping the Vyra/TLPD spawns and 1 account running around Northrend wiping out rares to refresh the spawn time.
Edit: Yes, I've heard of the 5+ rares up in Northrend at a time after server reset/restart but I'm not talking about that resets/restarts. I'm talking about regular, everyday WoW-play.

Just tagged and killed Vyragosa at around 8:30 server time. NPC scan went off and I was hoping it was the TLPD but was disappoointed again. It took a few seconds, then Vyragosa appeared by Frosthold and was flying towards Valkyrion. Funny thing is that when I was trying to tag Vyra, I see Skoll 10 feet away. Needless to say, killed both of them in a row, and got an angry message from a hunter saying they have been trying to tame him for 2 days, lol!
I will log back in in about 6 hours and wait for the drake to hopefully come.

@ boingy420
LOL, that is NOT true ^^. There can be DEFINITIVELY more rares in northend then only 2 at the same time. Only 1 in one area at the same time(stormpeaks are 2 possible at the same time).
The respawntimer of a rare has NOTHING to do with rares in other areas !

boingy420
Sauce on your claim, Randomizer? I'm just going by what I've experienced: did hunting paths for Frostbitten in a row, max rares I saw up as I go on through: 2 up. Most runs averaged one rare per run. I got Lokie(white tiger) and Arona(names spelled obviously wrong, 2 out of the 3 Sholazzar Basin rares) in one go. Also got that giant Worgen looking rare and the maiden during 1 go. On both these ocasions I got 2 rares in the same zone but didn't spot any other rares in the other zones when I checked, nor corpses. These sightings are also during non-maintence arc time periods as well.

@ boingy
That CAN not be true. I did the similar thing a few weeks ago, every day, for more then 2 weeks and found up to 5(!) rares on one flight across northend. Most times there were 2-4 rares. In all probability there can be more than 2 rares in northend at the same time.

This Sunday 11-01-09 I decided after reading about this mount to farm for it.That day I spent 12 hours learning his spawn points and paths.I had no luck that night with him or Vyragosa.
11-02-09 I got off work and spent 6 hrs farming.By the time I was fixing to log off,NPC alert went off and found a rarespawn near Brunnhilda village.It was Vyragosa.I body pulled her and flew her to the top of a near by hut.I easly burned her down.

11-3-09 Today was maint. day.After work I logged in and began my 3rd day of farming.After finding Vyragosa,I had hope I could one day find TLPD.I fell asleep at the keyboard near 2:20am server time.My wife comes in and asks if I am coming to bed.I said sure and reached for the esc key.Just than I hear the NPCscan alert.Having just killed Vyragosa,I knew it was not her as she was still in my cache.I frantically hit tab until I targeted the TLPD .There he was in all his glory waiting for me to kill him.Just as I tagged another horde guy tried and missed by a mila-second.

To all trying for him,Don't give up.The path I took was quick and easy.I would start at bors breath just south of valkyrion. Than follow the frozen river to bors fall.I would than cut east and fly over the other city there(can't remember name,Begins with a S) and go through the path to the north in between mountains.From there I would fly east towards the area in makers terrace with the blue drakes and fly south to Brunnilda village. The dragons have a chance of spawning right over there.(see screen shot of my Vyragosa kill) than circle back.This loop covers 3 of the 4 known spawn spots.I didn't realy fly towards the Uldar spawn point as it seems far away from other 3 spawns and less kills have been reported there.
I hope this info helps.Good luck all!

Lok'tar my brothers and sisters! I have finally obtained my drake after months upon months of camping.
I've had the most terrible luck with, Glory, new beloved new drake, finding him dead in the wild not once, not twice, but SEVEN separate times. I've killed Vyragosa 18+ times and tonight, this wonderful night, I slid off the mountain at Bor's Breath, and tagged him!
Server: Detheroc
Time: 11...who %^&*ing knows I got it!
Location: Frozen Lake! HOLY GOD I GOT IT! :D
I'm so very happy. My hunt is not over yet. I've obtained both Frostbitten and Bloody Rare, but in this hunt for Time Lost, I met another worthy and dedicated camper. I have vowed to assist him in acquiring his drake as well.
Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart for all the insight and data. It feels like a dream.
Only true hunters can really understand this feeling. I tell you, the hunt is worth it. Your trophy is as beautiful as you always imagined it would be! Lok'tar, my friends!

This isn't meant to be a brag post but I figured any information could help all the potential drake hunters out there. I watched Time Lost Proto Drake spawn directly above me in Brunnhildar Village. I had been flying around doing quests and he spawned right into my camera.
His flight path took him toward the engine of the makers. When he got toward the valley where the blue protodrakes are he was low to the ground.
Good luck!

Well i guess im going to become the most hated person on this topic. Today i decided to find this very rare mount. I read up on the internet flight paths and spawn rates and decided to give it a shot. No more than 3 laps around the "green" route posted on the first comment there he was. I was so suprised. So i officaly got my TLPD in about 20 mins of decideing to try and find it. It was right on the west side of the crash site where all the dots are on the path. GL to anyone who decides to try and find this. I know i had a horseshoe up my ass when i found this.

I finally got him today on the Drenden server, on 11/9/09 at 9:30 am pst, or 12:30 server, in the Snow Drift Plains. I had been camping in primarily in the Bors Breath area by Valkyrion, but all I ever found there was Vyragosa, several days in a row. I decided to move to the Plains, as TLPD (unfortunately) killed me a few months ago there when I was camping for Skoll, and I was petless, fell and... needless to say, did not get the reins that time.
I was doing a pat around the area, heading north toward the Plains, by the Iron Giant, when both Silver Dragon and NPC scan went off. TLPD was heading toward me, coming from the east, heading west. I downed him in front of the cave by the stormriders. Easy kill, thank goodness, as I had the drake and 2 stormriders trying to take out my pet and me at the same time. Coords about 27.64, 47.46. Good luck to all fellow hunters, he is worth the wait!

At long last, I finally got this beauty tonight. After 2.5 months of hunting, my npc_scan went off at about 11:00pm server time - Bleeding Hollow. I had seen and killed Vyragosa about 5 times and had just missed the TLPD twice, finding his corpse. This is with only being able to camp after work for a few hours each night during the week and then whenever I'm not sleeping during the weekend and not away from my computer.
I spotted him just over the lake at Bor's Breath. He was heading over towards Valkyrion and downed him just at the entrance of Valkyrion. I thought for sure someone would tag him before I'd catch up to him since Bleeding Hollow is quite populated with TLPD hunters. I was halfway through Bor's Breath at the time by the rez point where I was camping. But now he is MINE! muahahahahaha

Wow, I can't believe the luck I've had the past month. After camping the Tlpd for months on my Paladin and finding his/her corpse 2 times and killing Vyragosa countless times I eventually call it quits in my search. Now I also have a 80 death knight, druid and hunter. About a month ago, I can't resist the urge to hunt for this Time-Lost Proto-Drake, so I'm in storm peaks on dk and my macro goes off, its 3pm server time and the zone is loaded with people, he had to of just spawned, I get the kill and I'm in shock that I finally got the kill on the Proto-Drake, I had spent quite a bit of time on my Paladin camping for him/her with no luck, as I killed the Time-Lost, people were swarming all over. Easy kill though. So, I'm happy in getting the kill and decide not to search on any of my other alts. A few weeks go by and I find myself on my hunter wanting to hunt the Time-Lost again, had just tamed Skoll the day before, making that all the spirit beasts tamed on my hunter. My first night of camping on my hunter, you wouldn't believe it, my npcscan picks up the Tlpd again, this time its late night, around 20 aliiance in the zone, tag the tlpd with an arcane shot and fly away on this beauty again. So now I'm pumped, think I might have something, get on my Paladin, the tlpd has eluded him for so long, a couple nights go by, see vyragosa a couple times, don't bother to kill, as a melee she can be a pain, but when she did get killed, I'd log on my druid and skin her body. That second night in my search on my Paladin, sure enough the Tlpd spawns again, I can't believe it. I get the tag/kill and again find myself flying away on this beauty. I play on one of the higher populated realms. In my experience in looking for this drake, there really is no formula to getting it, other than time and patience. Have kills shots for them all. Tempted to try my luck out on my druid now :D.

Alright, I know this doesn't help anyone much, but I had to right it down. A couple days ago I was farming some herbs in The Storm Peaks waiting for my raid to start. I had heard of this bad boy flying around before, but never actually seen em. Well, I was just west of Temple Of Storms, when all of a sudden I seen a proto drake fly by me. I was like, what the crap? Hi-lighted em and seen that it had roughly 18k hp, elite, and rare. So instantly, being the American that I am I had to kill it lol. I killed the thing not realizing what it was and low and behold it drops this epic mount! It was the most random thing that has ever happened to me in WoW. I know people have camped him for days, and I just happened across him by pure luck. Another great day in WoW :D

I've now gotten this Drake on 4 of my 80's. After camping for for him/her for quite a bit of time the first time on my paladin. I eventually gave up : |. Leveling a druid and hunter since. I find myself in storm peaks again on my Death knight this time hunting, its the afternoon, storm peaks loaded with alliance(not sure how many horde) and all the sudden, my addon goes off and sure enough it was the elusive Tlpd, I immediatly tag it and get the kill, couldn't believe, after all the time spent on my paladin looking and coming up with nothing, I finally found it on my death knight and get the kill. So I decide to break off of looking for it on my other 80's for a couple weeks. Now, I'm on my hunter had just tamed Skoll the previous night(making that all the spirit beasts tamed), decide I'm going to camp for the tlpd, its late night, 15-20 alliance on at the time, took me a couple days of camping to tame skoll, which i didn't see neither Vyragosa or Tlpd during that time, which I found odd, normally when I'm camping in the zone, I'll at least see Vyragosa at some point, killed her countless times. Anyways, as I said its late night and sure enough my addon goes off again and to my amazement, its the Tlpd again, I again get the tag/kill and fly off on this beaty again. Now its time for my paladin to get his, he's the one I originally wanted him/her for, but with over a month of camping the first time, killing vyragosa countless times, seeing the corpse of the Tlpd 2 times during that time(one of those times got tagged right before I could get to it). A few days of camping have gone past since the kill on my hunter, again its late night, I'm in my normal spot, again the drake spawns and I tagged it ASAP, he/she couldnt of been up for more than a few seconds, none the less, my paladin now has this beautiful mount. Last kill was on my Druid, same story. All the time I've spent, there is no formula really other than being in the zone and having some major luck, hanging around the Fp's. I stayed in one spot mainly, occasionally flying around an fp to see if he/she spawned in another area. I'm still in a bit of shock, its a rush when you do finally find him/her. Got some screenies.

I would like to confirm a flightpath for the Time-Lost. Today I was flying from Dalaran to Stormpeaks and I was flying over Brunnhildar Village when I saw it. It was slightly against the mountain. At first I didn't believe it was the Time-Lost, but I checked it and it had the silver dragon over it picture which meant it was rare. Of course being in a complete stake of shock and a massive adrenaline rush I tagged it with an arcane barrage. But, of course I was too stunned to function and I fell off my mount and died. (yes, even though I am a mage and have slowfall -_- I was in too much shock)
I quickly respawned and flew to my corpse, mounted up and tried to find it again. It had begun to fly over the small mountains into the field with the blue frost wyrms and the Engine of the Makers. I found him, tagged him, and shot that puppy down :)
I would just like to say that it appears that the Time-Lost has a flight path over Brunnhildar and does indeed fly into the field where the Engine of the Makers is. I can double confirm this as I have seen the Time-Lost corpse lying next to the Engine before, and I have heard from a friend that he spotted the Time Lost in the same field (only flying VERY high up). Besides from now, before I had only once seen it (only on my target macro - never actually seeing it in person) when I was extremely high up (so that I could barely see the ground). It appears that he flies high and low.
And do you want to know something ironic? I had been camping this mount for 2 months. And only ever detected its presence once. I then gave up on it after those 2 months. I then began hard work on my red proto. Today I got my red proto after a year of wanting it. I fly on my 10 minute old red proto towards Stormpeaks and spot the Time-Lost. Of course, after finally getting the red proto, it is replaced after 10 minutes. Isn't that just WTF worthy? My guild isn't too happy with me :P And it makes me a little sad that my red proto was tossed to the side to easily after all the hard work.
I hope that I have helped someone slightly with the information I could provice :)
Good luck on trying to find it! It's worth the trouble.

Camped Time-Lost for 18 days and finally got it yesterday at 5pm on Lothar Server. It spawned right infront of me while I was camping the Frozen Lake. Tagged and finally got the mount. Killed Vyra multiple times at same spot aswell. It seems to be able to spawn by the mini waterfall by the frozen lake. Anyways gl to all time lost hunters, don't give up and you'll eventually get the mount as well.

I believe Dirkee and one of the two dragons can spawn at the same time. I killed Vyragosa a little south of Valkyrion at 5:32AM ST, and killed Dirkee a little later at 6:03AM ST (he was standing next to Khaliisi at the engine of the makers).

It can NOT spawn at the little waterfall ! He flies over it on his "orange" route.
Every of the 4 spawnpoints were postet, every of the 4 rotes where postet several times.
No confirmation of the spawnpoints or routes is needed. Simply write your server, killtime or your little "story" how you got it ^^.

I can not believe my luck. I use an addon to spot rares and have been hoping to finally catch an 80 rare of some sort. My addon alerts me (the four others in my group also got alerts from their addons. I was the only one outside of the Halls of Lightening, by the summoning stone. I scanned the skies and there it was. My excited screams probably deafened my friends on vent. We raced out there to it. It was tagged by an alliance player, but it knocked him off his mount and for some reason he lost the tag. We lured it to the ground with some fancy teamwork. Then came the suspense of rolling. We agreed to greed it (and all the good people in the group respected that!) and I won it. I sort of feel bad, in that I have never camped the spawn hoping for it. In fact, I have never heard of it, before looting it. But I do promise to treasure this rare mount in the fashion it deserves.

TLPD does spawn at the Terrace of the Makers. I was there, at the summoning stone, when npcscan went off. I turned around, and he was flying at about the level of the broken road/bridge. I tagged him while falling, almost died, put my water ele on him and prayed I would not die while fighting him. I was able to mount back up and get him onto the bridge fragment, where I was able to kill him.
Just another confirmation of the Terrace spawn point. I had been there for around 5 minutes before npcscan detected him, so I am guessing it just spawned. I want to thank the horde group that killed/ganked me - they delayed me enough from entering the instance that I was around when it spawned. Thanks guys. heh.
Time was around noon, apologies that I can't recall exactly what the time was.

I might be wrong, but deosnt "spawnponit" mean that a mob "respawns" at exactly that point ?
It is not a point where it was simply seen, right ?

Hey, I just saw and killed the TLPD, for the first time ever. And I just want to give my special thanks to Abraxusta and Ponderance for their factual theories, ESPECIALLY Abraxusta's four-spawnspot fact that they spawn out of the mountains as u can see in his youtube video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sF9b7o29KOE&feature=related
. Trust me these guys know their *!@#.
http://symphonyofnoise.com/tlpd/index.html
proved to be helpful, the one spawnspot I have yet to see something come out of is the one at terrace of the makers, but the other three I have seen with my own eyes. THERE ARE FOUR SPAWNSPOTS one for each of the four patrol paths - simple logic, if someone tells you differently its BS.
All in all this was by far the worst farm I ever did, but in the end it was worth it, was 3weeks exactly. BUT the third week was the one week the was kinda strange, I was used to seeing a vyra almost every day, but as u can see from the 10th, there was nothing for 2 days, then from 12th to my TLPD the 17th a whole 5days without finding anything, which I find weird as I was camping 20hours of the day with 3toons parked at the different spawnlocations. Anyway he came flying out from the mouintain at 50.71 above brunnhildar where I had my bros shaman parked, I almost got a heartattack expecting to see vyragosa when I heard the npcscan addon go off, but there he was in all his beauty so I tagged it with the shaman and rushed my warrior over there (he was camping the Frozen Lake, to cover that spawn and the bor’s fall one) – it was the longest 2minutes ever the fight was. Just a tip for you hunters out there, don’t give up, yours is coming eventually but there will be a lot of timelost as this is a hardcore farm, but fact is, if your dedicated enough for a period of time yours is coming.

Got my drake today by pure luck! was doing the Vrykul daily and saw it on the addon NPCScan. So Thanks to the devolopers of that addon! love you<3 So my tip to people wanting this mount or to kill any other rare mob is to get that addon.

Got mine yesterday, using NPCScan and camping around the Engine of the Makers. Soloe'd as a BM Hunter without pet (I was reserving the slot for Skoll... I was luckly, for Skoll appeared just after I killed the TLPD and tamed it!). It appeared at 18:30 GMT in Los Errantes Spanish RP Server. GL!

Got mine 16/11/09, 2:56 AM. Was camping at Bor's Breath for 4 hours which was the longest time i've ever spent in a zone. It was usually 1 hour per day for 2-3 weeks but I had nothing better to do so I camped while having the game in the background. Then suddently NPCscan went off and I was expecting Vyragosa (which I saw for the first time 2 days before) but instead saw a yellowish proto-drake fly straight at me. Got adrenaline rush and everything, it was intense like hell! 3 seconds after the kill, a guy showed up from the same directon which the drake had flew. Too bad for him.
That was the first and only time i've ever seen it. Good luck to all the others.

I was leaving Ulduar, when he spawned right in front of the flight path near HOL/HOS/Ulduar. I clicked on my mod, and asumed he was dead.(He always is) and sure enough he was alive and well.
5 Mins later, he was dead. =)
Im sooo happy!
Killed at 10pm EST on Llane Server.

I figured I'd make a wowhead account to tell people this. I've never heard of this until today, never cared, and would never ever in my life even think of farming it. I was questing in the brunnhildar area, just getting some gold, and I get ganked by an alliance warrior, Skeggox, while I'm killing quest mobs. So I finished my quest and turned it in, picked up the next one and started flying. I stopped mid-flight to go to the bathroom, figuring better now than in the quest area to get ganked again while I'm afk. I come back, I'm in combat with some random ass rare spawn, some time lost thing. I kill it and get the reins and a 76 rogue blue I believe. Just happened twenty minutes ago. Now I should get back to questing so I can get enough gold for epic flying =P

hmmm why i think that theorie CAN not be true:
OK ^^, you think that there can only be a specific number of rares at the same time in northend, right ?
And I know, that Vyraosa and TLPD have a 6-24 hour respawntimer. If my theorie is right( me and ALOT other guys think it is ^^) yours CAN not be true.
Why ? K ^^, lets have an example: Lets say its 4:00 AM and not much people are roaming around in northend. Lets say all of your rares are out there and it is no more rare possible. But what if that 6-24-hour respawntimer runs out now ? If i see your theorie there is no Vyra/TLPD-spawn possibble.
THAT is why i not believe that.

I finally got the TLPD on Maiev at 8:05 pm. After camping him for quite a while, I had a near catch 3 days ago after camping for 14 hours and missed him by one bloody minute! X_X Today I was just sitting in one of my regualr spots hoping for Vyra to spawn so I could start my track like the last few times and BANG! My NPC scanner goes nuts and I damn near break my leg on the coffee table as I was on the phone when he popped. Got him right at the head of the falls; he spawned right on me so when I got to the screen he had knocked me off my mount and my pet was going after him already. WOO! Well, after all the camping and countless hours I put in, it paid off with a kill, and a really good tracking system that has been pretty accurate ( I have 4 sheets of paper with Vyra's and TLPD's spawn points, places of kill, dates, times, and direction of travel, along with a map I have of all spawn points etc. that I did up)). He does share 2 spawn points with Vyragosa, and the same flight paths. The timer's been pretty close as well every time I've managed to be on when there's been a kill. This time it was me who got it.

Here's all the information you'll ever need quick and concise:
At each spawnpoint TLPD or vyragosa (which do share spawnpoints aswell as paths) flies directly out of a rock wall or mountain.
Spawnpoints:
30,70 (flies out of the mountain at frosthold)
52,63 (flies out of the mountain directly south of Brunn)
36,78 (flies directly out of the mountain at the edge of the frozen waterfall)
55,32 (flies out of the rock wall at the big casm, its high up level with the buildings)
I have individually verified each of these
Here is a video I made that shows them in visual form:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eh2BE9emxXg
The one that flies out of frost hold goes North and makes a clockwise loop around the crash site, down to the engine and back by temple of storms
the one that spawns at the frozen waterfall (at Boar's Breath) just loops around the Mountain containing frosthold
The one that spawns up across from Ulduar pats all the way in front of Ulduar, down to temple of storms and around to the engine in a large counterclockwise circle
The one that Spawns at Brunn goes down to K3 and back up to the engine
I camped the time lost protodrake for 308 hours before getting it. I killed vyragosa 16 times and have the drops to prove it. I camped at 30, 65 because it is right next to two spawns and the one that spawns up by ulduar pats by aswell. The day I got my drake I killed vyragosa at 3am and TLPD at 11:30 pm. The next day TLPD spawned again at 11:10 am. Unbelievable...2 weeks of no drakes when Im camping and then when I get mine 2 spawn back to back.

For the above poster, I have this drake on my 4 80s and I know for a fact that the drake won't always spawn and head in the same direction, I've killed him/her both flying clockwise and counter clockwise on its paths. As I said in a above post, there really is now guaranteed formula to finding him/her. Its a matter of luck.

All I can say is, watch Vyra's spawn timer REAL CLOSE. That alone will give you an immense heads up when TLPD will show himself (at least on my server, it's been bang on every time).

R4ndomizer
@ lock101: Oo i never saw them fly in other directions. I do not say that your lying, but do you have any proof ?
@SheWuff: What exactly do you mean ? (im german ^^ and my english is....na ^^) The timer is 6-24 hours in we've had spawns(last 6 kills were ours ^^) 8 up to 18 hours after the last kills, absolutely random hour and minutes, so what do you mean ?

I started camping 28.65 with occassional short flights up and down the valley at the frozen lake. My first day camping (8 hours) started on November 18th 2009, I killed the TLPD on November 27th 2009....9 days. Was it worth it? YES!
I missed many guild invites for raids, didn't do any dailies, farming, AH'ing, etc, I was determined to catch the TLPD before the end of November.
Anyway, I was sitting in my spot (28.65) and was tabbed out watching some Youtube videos, I sat my laptop down and went to the kitchen to make some tea and heard my _npcscan pop. I figured it was another Vyragosa sighting. I went back to my computer and tabbed back into WoW and had the TLPD on the radar. I targeted, flew into it, dropped Judgement of Justice, Snowfall, Taunt, blew my CD's and the TLPD was well below 50% before I hit the ground.
Just then I was stunned! I turned an had an 80 Human Rogue LOL'ing at me, I broke the stun and landed another hit on the TLPD....stunned again! I bubbled and finished off the TLPD, auto-loot done its job and it was safely in my bag. Instead of sharing in my joy, the stupid rogue decided it was PvP time. I used Lay on Hands and got the rogue to well below 10%, he vanished and took off.
Anyways, here's some advise that helped me (two words) STAY PUT. It's tempting to fly around the routes looking for the TLPD, but soon as you do, it will spawn. Park your toon and leave it - turn your speakers up and go do something around the house, surf the net, watch a movie, etc. But leave your toon in one spot (I strongly recommend 28.65) as Vyragos spawned at least 7 times during my camp at that location. Plus, at 28.65, you have perfect views of the vally to the right, thesmall waterfall valley, the hill leading to Snowdrift Plains and Valkyrion. Also, I stayed just below the vent thing on the side of the mountain (maybe 50 feet high?) IMO, this is the perfect spot and produced the prize for me.
I'm on Spinebreaker (PvP) Realm and the TLPD is camped by lots of people, but they normally sit for a few minutes, then fly away.

I can't confirm that Vyragosa shares the same path/spawn point as the Time-Lost Proto-Drake, but I am sure that there are many similarities between the paths.
On the realm that I play on, my Tauren Warrior main has this and so does my Undead Death Knight alt. The first time I got it was on my main, while flying through the Storm Peaks. I saw Vyragosa for the first time in my life, and I tagged her with Snowfall Lager and killed her easily. Looked at her profile image and saw she was not only elite, but rare too. I thought, "Ooo, gotta check this one out." So I looked it up on WoWwiki, and it mentioned this Time-Lost proto thingy. I looked it up on Thottbot and Wowhead, and found that it was UBER rare. So I read up on the rumored spawn points, and paths, and so on and so forth and did some in-game research.
I did not make a map of my path, but I decided to look for Vyragosa after a few days of off-and-on research on the Intrarwebz. I found her awhile ago and followed her and asked in general to please not attack her. Of course, the @$$holes of my realm were all like, "OMG Vyra's up?" "Wow, what coords?" and such, but never tagged her except for once. So I got angry, and decided to spend my anger looking up the Time-Lost Proto-Drake. I found a tidbit of information that mentioned how it can spawn in as little time as 30 minutes after Vyragosa is killed. So I logged back on, kept toggling the macro that I made (I'll say what it is later), and lo and behold I targeted the Time-Lost Proto-Drake a little southwest of the Terrace of the Makers. Anxious for a new flying mount, I flew over to him and tagged him with Snowfall Lager... or so I thought. Turns out that a fellow Horde member and an Alliance saw him at the same time, and the Alliance ended up tagging him first. I got VERY angry at this. So I logged for a few days to leave on vacation, and when I came back, the fellow Horde member had sent me an in-game mail explaining how he would help me look for the Time-Lost Proto-Drake and that we would roll on it once the drake was felled. I agreed, and over the next three days of non-stop camping, we finally found him about 180 yards north of the frozen waterfall. We downed him in a little less than 20 seconds (pwned in the face) and rolled. I got 65/100, and he got 63/100. We LoL'd and I looted it. But I decided to keep helping him get it too, since I figured it was only fair.
Whaddaya know, 12 hours later the Time-Lost Proto-Drake spawns again. I am fast asleep at my keyboard, when all of a sudden I hear a *ding* and I bolt upright. I spam my macro, and there he is right above me, once again a little ways southwest of the Terrace of the Makers. I told him, which I guess woke him up, and I tagged the drake and downed him. By the time he got to where I killed it, it was ready to loot. We both added each other onto our friends lists and parted ways. We still are friends to this day, proud owners of the Reins of the Time-Lost Proto-Drake.
The macro that I used:
/cleartarget
/target Vyragosa
/target Time-Lost Proto-Drake
/stopmacro ,
/run RaidNotice_AddMessage(RaidBossEmoteFrame,"Time-Lost OR Vyra IS OUT THERE!", ChatTypeInfo)
/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\interface\\RaidWarning.wav")
/t YOURNAMEHERE >>> %t <<< HOLY MONKEY BALLS
( I hope that you all can tell that you need to replace "YOURNAMEHERE" with your name... there :P)
Hope this helps,

Just downed Vyragosa after a good 7 hours of stalking and patrolling...
Several screenshots below.
I found her between the pass of Bor's Breath and Engine of the Makers, making it perfectly in the middle of a patrol route - I believe it was probablt the one that follows Bor's Breath through Valkyrion.
I didn't wait to see what route it was, of course. I killed her on site. I'm still kind of shaking; gladly, I was the first to jump on it.

To show the kill and distance, respectively. Don't mind my comments in guild chat. I was spazzing.
EDIT: If anyone is interested in the specifics -
Kill Coords 37.1 , 62.5
Kill Time 7:30 AM EST
EDIT2: Confirmed kill of the Time Lost Proto Drake at or around 2 PM Server Time. So there was at least 6 hours between spawns.
EDIT3: Speculated Vyragosa kill around 2:30 AM EST.
Also - Server: Smolderthorn
EDIT4: Vyragosa kill 6:30 AM EST, Dec. 6th Spawned directly over Bor's Breath

OMFG
1st time posting on WOWhead but had to tell my story and add in some, hopefully, useful information.
Started searching for this (SO MUCH) time lost proto drake around the 18th of November. After reading literally all 600 comments here, I Installed NPCSCAN, rarespawn overlay, Silver Dragon.... the works. Camped Frozen Lake with my wife's main, Camped Brunn with my main.
For 5 straight days, at least 8 hours a day, I camped and didn't see Vyra or the TLPD even one time. No bodies, nothing.
Then on Monday 23rd at about 230PM Server (Kalecgos) time, the TLPD slammed face 1st into my wife's main on the Frozen Lake. I panicked, but had enough control to dismount her main and put her on auto attack. Jumped to my main and began the LONG flight from Brunn... I was at the waterfall when I heard the TLPD die....... Even though we were grouped, I wasn't close enough and regardless of my begging Blizz to allow a trade, she had a brand new beautifully gift-wrapped TLPD.
Needless to say, I was gutted.
In the end, though, it only added to my determination to get this guy.
SOOOO.... from Monday 23rd on, heres my tally, keep in mind I camped the frozen lake with MY MAIN now lol, and Brunn with my wifes main occassionally patrolling the paths in rarespawn overlay:
11/26/09 230AM --- Vyra flew over my head coming west through Bors Breathl - KILLED
11/27/09 1130AM --Found Vyra's corpse Engine of Makers
11/29/09 230AM --- Vyra flew over my head in Brunn - KILLED
11/29/09 930PM --- Found the TLPD corpse in the Snowdrift plains (missed by 5min) - GUTTED
12/1/09 230PM ---- Vyra flew over my head again on the Frozen Lake, followed her around the entire Uldy route starting from Valk all the way around counter clock wise back to the Snowdrift plains where a priest killed her (this 230AM or 230PM pattern is intriguing)
12/4/09 700AM ---- Vyra flew at me coming West through Bors Breath -- KILLED
12/4/09 330PM ---- Vyra flew over my head in Brunn again -- KILLED
Then finally, after what adds up to be about 120 Game Hours just camping with both mains, I had my wife (yes bad-ass wife) camping for me while I was at work today, 12PM the TLPD flies over my mains head from Valkryion, she panic's, falls off mount and dies. Rezzes, can't find him, oh NO, this can't be, frantically searching all the routes, its 12PM Saturday, prime time, someone has got to have tagged it... but no, flying through Snowdrift, there she is, still untagged. My wife pulled the beauty down and killed the TLPD for its prize..... PHEW!
What did I learn from all of this?
1. Your are going to panic, period
2. This is going to be a long camp, period
3. NPC Scan is 100% essential if you want this drake, period
4. Macro's don't work and auto clickers will get you banned, so don't try it..... period :)
5. Spawn times are completely random, but very odd that the spawns happened at 230AM or 230PM so many times. (closest time between spawns that I confirmed myself was 8 1/2 hours. The 6 hour theory never once helped me, and believe me I tried to time it)
Hope this helps all of you hunters out there, I know I came back to WowHead time and time again to get some inspiration and some hope.
My best advice, camp a spot (OR TWO if you can) and patrol every once in a while (2x an hour?) and watch tv or something with warcraft music/ambiance muted while having the sound turned WAY up. That "dum-diddy-dum" drum sound that NPC Scan makes is the scariest but sweetest sound in the world!
Good luck, you are going to need it!
My mains : Synose or Smite
My wifes main: Dravenrain

After about 3 weeks of farming I finally got my TLPD at around 28:65 ,Hydraxis, around Noon; it was coming from the direction of Valkyrion going toward the Waterfall, I was at the Frosthold spawnpoint. I was actually surprised that no one tagged him yet because there were plenty of people in the area. Two things surprised me: one is that I think he was flying faster than Vyragosa and the other is that he came to melee range (being a warrior it was a BIG relief) ,I struggled with Vyragosa before.
here is my log I kept, may it helps someone, times are server times:
Dirkee 11/19/09 6:15 - Killed
Dirkee 11/20/09 1:50 - Killed
Dirkee 11/21/09 9:48 - Killed
Dirkee 11/22/09 3:55 - Killed
Dirkee 11/29/09 2:11am - Killed
Dirkee 12/03/09 5:50 - Killed
Vyragosa 11/24/09 1:30pm - missed it, too far = ranged problem - Frosthold spawn
Vyragosa 11/28/09 11:58am - killed her ! - Frosthold spawn
Vyragosa 11/29/09 2:18am - did not kill, too far- Frosthold spawn
Vyragosa 11/30/09 12Noon - guildie killed her - Brunnhildar village
Vyragosa 12/01/09 9am - too far problem again...grr - at Frosthold
Vyragosa 12/02/09 3:02am - Killed at Ulduar, pulled to the overhangs just front of Ulduar - Spawned at the Ulduar spawn point
Vyragosa 12/04/09 2:20am - did not kill, let other guy kill it, spawned at Boar's breath Waterfall - probably because she came from that way, but did NOT spawn at Frosthold, I was there
Vyragosa 12/05/09 7:12am - Dead -probably spawned at the Waterfall, dead in the corner
TLPD 12/07/09 -NOON - KILLED! - Boar's Breath, close to Frosthold, coming from Valkyrion

Pro tip:
As a Shaman, you can camp in one spot while patrolling for this. How, do you ask? Two words:
Far Sight.

Harson
As a Shaman, you can use the spell "Far Sight" to camp two spots at the same time. One with your character, the other through the eyes of the spell.
Good luck finding your drakes!

12:20am Friday morning. Got home from work and had just finished the daily at Brunnhildar Village in hopes of the white polar bear, no luck and was flying back to Dalaran when NPC_Scan went off. I've never farmed it, I've never cared. If I got it one day that would be great.
What's funny is someone in general chat was asking about this literally 10 seconds earlier. Poor guy said he has been farming for weeks. You get it when you least expect it I suppose.

Here is a video i made today after following Vyragosa around its route and printing. When i did this i busted two old myths:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYLyYcZnV1g
1. Dirkee don't have anything to do with Time-lost/Vyragosa (killed him when i when i was flying behind Vyra)
2. When it has flown its route, it doesnt de-spawn, it starts over!
And the print at the end of the video shows me standing next to a dead time-lost. I was flying behind an alliance mage, and the npc scan went off. there it was! after all these weeks! he was faster than me to tag it, and i strafed away with snofall lager... ofc i didnt have time to think, i paniced! i started to nuke the mage, went fast but the second before i got him, he killed tlpd.
Well my hunt continues and best luck to all of you :)

I just found out that TLPD was killed about 7 hours ago on my realm, feels like a waste of time sitting there camping it now.
Is there anyone who have seen/heard that it was killed twice under 24 hours? would give me some hope..
Thanks

I must be the luckiest newbie player in the whole game.
I've been playing my druid Kiobhan (Steamwheedle Cartel) for about 4 1/2 months now. I do a lot of herb farming in the Storm Peaks and I've also been farming rep with the Sons of Hodir. One day last week, I'm out hunting herbs in the Storm Peaks when
NPCscan
shrills at me. I look at it and go "Oh, the Time-Lost Protodrake. I wonder if i can kill that? 18K hit points? Oh, OK. Maybe this counts for one of the "Rare" achievements? Let's go for it!"
I follow the critter around for about 5 minutes as it loops over Bor's Breath and the valley with all the harpies, keeping it in sight via my flight form. Finally, I dive bomb it above some hills where I can safely land and go Boomkin. A Moonfire and a few Starfires and Wraths later and he's dead. I loot him and shrug it off as another mount I need to earn 5k gold to ride (I still need my cold weather flying).
You can imagine the utter uproar among my friends and guildmates when I told them what I'd done! I had absolutely
no
idea about the rarity of the TLPD, because I hadn't read all the comments here yet. The joys of being a luck magnet . . . .

I finally got it after almost 2 months of camping! Best Christmas gift ever!
It was funny because yesterday a warlock got to it right before I did and now I got it today. I was camping in Bors breath by the waterfall when npcscan went off and I saw it flying towards engine of the makers which is where I killed it. I really appreciate it after all the time I spent hunting it, was completely worth it.
Here is my log.
vyragosa-3:30 pm 12-15-09
vyragosa-10:10pm 12-20-09
Time Lost-2:15pm 12-23-09(saw corpse)
vyragosa-12:05 pm 12-23-09
Time Lost- 6:25 pm 12-24-09(Mine!)
I was not a serious camper till after my first Vyragosa kill.
DO NOT GIVE UP, and stick to a camping spot!

Started camping day and night three nights ago. Yesterday I went to bed around 2 am, only for TLPD to pop up and get killed at 3:20 am. I got back to camping today and some mage decided to camp right on top of me at Bor's Breath lake. So, I decided to camp right on top TLPD's spawn point on the Frosthold mountain at the lake. Being a priest, I wouldn't have much of a chance against the mage, so being at the spawn point gave me better odds to get the drake before he did, I wouldn't have to fall off my mount, and I could see if he was coming up from the falls. Well, the mage left and not ten minutes later at 5:46 pm server time, TLPD spawns right on top of me and I kill the drake.
So, competitive camping is out there, and it can get very frustrating and make you want to quit, but just stick with a spot, have a plan, and just sit. Oh, and NPCscan was a lifesaver, so get it if you don't have it.
Good luck and happy hunting everyone. Stick with it.

Killed Varygosa less than 1 hour ago. Popped in BB's Frozen lake, intercepted it (AUGHAAAAAAA! _NPCscan) while coming back from a tour. She was taking the biggest route around the middle map.
Tbh I paniced a bit since I landed over the frozen fall (with the frozen dwarves) after lolstepping on her to tag.
But she simply didn't like the idea to land with me, so I CloSed to resist some spits, killed 2 annoying dwarves and drinked a pot (lost 4k in the fall).
Then stood there unable to do anything. Vanished, saw a hunter's mark on her then a hunter FDing somewhere. It was a "friend" of chat. Turned back on flight, lolstepped again, some hits and vanished again.
Then the funny thing happened. Ever heard of the dragons "teleporting"? Well I think I got the explanation. I kept chasing Varygosa looking for a spot to shoot at her in someway. I grouped the hunter of mine
http://i46.tinypic.com/2my6adt.jpg
<-- As you see the dragon is following the largest route to the Terrace of Makers --> Ulduar --> Back. The hunter is behind me BUT HE CAN'T SEE EITHER ME OR HER!
He kept saying he was in a diff. phase shift of the map. I guess he is somehow true.
http://i49.tinypic.com/21ova6g.jpg
From the chat you see the whisper "Dove cazzo è andata" which means "Where the Fu*k is she gone?".
I couldn't see him too (see blank standard icon on portrait even if he is behind me).
http://i49.tinypic.com/117tfr6.jpg
As he reached the zone where I was, he exited the center map zone and became visibile to me too and started nuking her. From the chat "se almeno vi vedessi" which means "if I could at least see you (both)".
So this could end in explaining: he didn't had the quests of SP done. To someone like him (he can't see even the dragons on the ground!) such rares could look like disappearing and reappearing on the other side of the zone.. like a teleport!

So I have been camping this beauty for the last several months (4-5), with a total estimated time of upwards of 500 hours. I am sitting at Bor's Breath over the Frozen Lake and have been here this entire time.
I have not seen the Time-Lost Proto Drake dead or alive yet. Not even once. I've tagged and killed Skoll and Vyragosa plenty of times but I'm still waiting for my dragon...
I'm ready to pull my hair out.

Spawned right infront of me at the frozen lake by bors breath, my main has the TLPD so I hopped on to my alt which was parked at Bor's breath. While I was logging off TLPD was heading towards the dalaran area. when I logged on my alt I figured that he would of went to brunnhildar village then to the blue drake area, however I went there and couldn't find him anywhere. I found his corpse right where he spawned near the waterfall. Just a heads up to people that see him spawn at the waterfall, he will head down north then then back to the waterfall area.

Sigh, my heart dies a little every time i see this mount on a Dk. Such a pity that a DK who farms for a mount like this for a day gets it over a person playing a proper class who camps for months.

As a D.K I have been farming for this mount for a while so it really is a roll of a dice, I still don't give up the only thing that annoys me about this mount is the amount of nubs who think its funny to gank you while you are camping.
GOOD on you I am sure you feel real STRONG when I am afk.
But aside from that it does take time, I mean I don't raid any more don't A.H, farm or anything just sit here and wait :P

Can the time lost protodrake spawn less than 6 hours after Vyragosa has been killed? Cuz apparantly Time Lost was killed someone said in general. But ive recently killed Vyragosa around about 3 hours ago. I have also used the loot macro to see query that server if it has dropped . Nothing was showing up and was stuck on search. But after that guy he found it dead the query/macro started working and displayed info about time lost. This is less than 6 hours after Vyragosa was killed. Is this possible. Key I did not see the time lost dead. But since the query/macro started working then im not sure :S

I would love to see some posts from some pro farmers. Most of the posts i read come from people who tag Vyragosa once or maybe twice and dirkee once. I've killed dirkee on 6 level 80 alts of mine, i have no more alts above the level 70 so i dont even bother adding him into macros and crap anymore. The BoE items are almost worthless on my server now that ICC is out, they sell for right around a dream shard. Which means they are just disenchant blues, i have enough dream shards k thanx.
So here it is, I tape down my arrow key to keep me going afk while i grab a couple hours sleep, with NPCScan & Silver dragon live and hot with fresh caches, here is what has happend on uldum US.
12/20/2009 - Vyragosa @ 09:25 AM Bors Breath 31,66
12/21/2009 - Vyragosa @ 09:38 PM Bors Breath 30,68
12/22/2009 - Vyragosa @ 11:53 AM Bors Breath DEAD
12/23/2009 - Vyragosa @ 02:55 PM Valkyrion 27,55

01/02/2010 - Vyragosa @ 03:25 PM Bors Breath 30,66
11 days of camping / farming and still nothing. 12/30 there was a server reset, i use the script macro lookin for the reigns. The server went live at about 9 am, and around 3 pm the reigns were found. But nothing in general chat, no corpse, nobody new flying in dalaran on this glorious mount. Also note i saw a Vyragosa kill approximately one hour after the reigns were cached. Keep in mind, the script item macros only tells you if the item been seen since the last reset. That means if someone kills him and is unable to learn the mount given his riding skill, when he logs in the server has seen this item. Everytime it pulls up in the server cache DOES NOT necessarily mean he has been killed. 3 Days left before going back to my 9-5 job. Hopefully i will be riding on this glorious beast before monday.

Well it seems my quest is now over.
I log in and my NPC Scan goes nuts, and there is the dead Time-Lost, right in my camping spot, the spot I've been camping for the last 4 months. And who is the luck winner!
Some noob-ass Death Knight that has started camping in my spot the last day and a half.
I hate my life, I am done with this hunt.

Well well well....after 3 weeks of farming i finally recieved my Time-Lost when all my hope was officially drained. I had killed Vyra this morning at 9:10am server time(Tarren Mill EU), she had spawned on the side of Frosthold's mountain facing B'sB. Then, after quite a few hours, at roughly 9pm server time when i was half watching Naruto, half looking for TLPD; out of the corner of my eye i see the _NPCscan box pop up with - What do u know? - The Time-lost! So i go frantic, have a few failed pulls and then finally get it to aggro me by flying into it then landing. He was flying north to Valkyrion from Rohemdal pass, and then ofc i nuke him. Was incredibly easy fight, maybe 15sec or less to kill him, the time-warp ability did nothing at all to me, he just ported behind my pet and i continued shooting him as normal - am a Hunter - and then i loot the Mount and trash etc, then call my best friend who logged on as i got the kill-shot. And luckily for me, there was no interferance at all, a Draenei paladin came just as i got the kill shot, and then a few ppl started gathering around the corpse a lil' later. Got exceptionally lucky that nobody tried ganking me. Thankyou to all the ppl who posted the great info on TLPD, would not have gotten this far with out ya! ;) Clownfish, Tarren Mill

Ok I have found 2 TLPD for both my 80's
Heres what i can tell you. Down load Silver Dragon and NPC_Scan addons.
When i found him I had killed one of the rares from the zone and so I just flew around a path i made out and bam there he was. first one 2 hours after rare kill.
(80 hunter) Oct 09
second rare 1 day. (80 pally) 4 Jan 2010
so if you kill a rare. take some time and stay in storm peaks and keep looking for those rares. 1 will be the TLPD!
I submitted my path along with this post.
Hope this helps.....

Now im hunting it for my orc, lock :-D - hatching eggs is #$%^ing me off. same as getting red-proto from achv. so spend some time and get TLPD , i think best looking color drake there's because skin looks like actuall dragon. i like the green one as well.

I've been camping Bor's Breath for the past week in search for TLPD. I sleep with my speakers on so that if TLPD does come by, I'll hear my NPCScan alerts going off to wake me up. I haven't had a single alarm go off until today. I was flying back from Dalaran. The servers were reset this morning 5am server, and I figured that today was my best chance on getting the TLPD.
I decided to do the Argent, Hodir, and Oracle dailies at around 1pm server since I haven't seen anything the whole day and I didn't notice anyone else camping the TLPD spawn points and routes. I come back to my spot at Bor's Breath by way of Dalaran at around 3pm, and my NPCScan goes off. I see the TLPD model spinning round and round mockingly. Unfortunately, it was already dead. The hunter that found it was long gone, and a query I posed in general chat was not met with any responses. The corpse of the TLPD was below Frost Hold. Ugh.... so disappointed I left to do dailies, but, if anything, I'm even more determined to get this mount now, seeing how close I was to getting it myself.
P.S. I'm a mage from Mug'thol.
Starting my log now:

My hunt began last August for a full week I patrolled the routes of the TLPD in the Drenden server. When it spawned I was to late and someone beat me to it. I gave up my hunt and after awhile I took a break from WoW.
Three days ago I decided to return to WoW and move to the Ered'thalas server. I wanted to try the hunt for the drake again and camped at the mountain side spawn point in Bor's Breath. I camped from 11:00am EST to 5:00 pm EST and then went to take a snack. When I came back from my snack break the TLPD was dead by my camping spot. :( After a brief moment of sadness, I told myself I will start searching again.
The next day I stood by the same camping spot from 11:00 am EST to 4:00pm EST. At around 4:00pm my NPC_scan goes off. It was the TLPD! I went to get it , but I couldn't dismount ( I figured out later it was the settings I had it on). I unclicked the mount from the top and fell, but didn't agrro the TLPD. When I fell I aggro'ed a harpy and that added to my nervousness. However, I ran until I unaggro'ed the harpy. Then continued and found him again by Valkyrion, and I aggro'ed him and then fell to my death. :(( Determined I rezzed and found him by the snowdrift plains/ terrace maker's passage and tagged him! I couldn't believe I was that lucky. I thought I was going to lose it! Thankfully I never gave up. Good luck TLPD hunters!
Times
:
TLPD: 1/7 5:10pm EST aprox. Bor's Breath area (not killed by me)
TLPD: 1/8 4:05pm EST aprox. Bor's Breath area (killed by me)
Edit
: I was helping my hunter friend find Skoll by the Bor's Breath spawn point when my NPC_scan ran at 11:30pm EST yesterday. It was the TLPD. He was very shocked and excited to get it.

Something I have noticed over the last several months that I felt like sharing...
More times than not, I have noticed that Vyra (and TLPD?) both spawn very closely to the beginning of the hour. This could be on the dot exactly, or 5-6 minutes afterwards. I sit at Bor's Breath, and have been here for about 5 months now as I have said in earlier comments. Many times I have killed Vyragosa, probably about 10+ in this spot, and she sometimes spawns off of Frosthold.
Just a trend I've been seeing, can anyone else confirm this as well?

After hearing so much about this mount I decided I'd take a look for myself while I was watching something on tele. I made one of the macros posted in an early comment and pressed it every now and again while I camped near the top of Bor's Breath. I happened to see a few others camping and flying around. After about half an hour I targeted the Time Lost Proto Drake! So I tried to look for him but couldn't find him and eventually lost him. Flew around for a minute and then targeted him again but still couldn't find him and I was starting to worry someone else may get him! So I flew higher to get a better view and there he was, South of Valkyrion Village and slightly South West of the Temple of Storms.
I would just warn you that he does fly VERY high but not quite higher than the top of the mountains. I think thats why everyone else missed him. I'm a priest so could have used levitate, but luckily he was flying right next to a ledge. For you conspiracy theorists out there, it was on the Sha'tar realm at about 00:45 and he was flying North towards the Village. Personally I think its completely random and I just got very lucky!

Got mine last night (1/14/2010) just after 10 server time on Echo Isles. Was camping Skoll and TLPD flew over my camping spot in Snowdrift Plains, killed it at approx 31,46. Yay npc scan :)

Alright, to anyone who really wants to find this mount as efficiently as possible (
5 hours or less, guaranteed
), I have it down to a science (or as close as you can get with something as random as this). I have below two headings that describe how I came to realize my strategies and info, but if you want to skip them just scroll down to the part where it describes how you can get it.
My Encounter
Basically a few weeks ago I resubbed to WoW because I never got to experience the expansion much (was lvl 72) and I bumped into some proto drakes. I looked up every one of them and how to get them and I read a lot of the stuff about TLPD then, especially from comments on this site.
After I got to 77 and learned cold flying, I decided to finish my World Explorer achievement, and when I ended up in the Storm Peaks I remembered about the TLPD so I made a macro to find him and I ended up seeing his corpse, the first time ever in the zone. Couple days later I was feeling really lucky so I decided to start farming for it. I had several friends patrolling his path for 5 hours with me until I got too tired and was about to go to bed when I saw Vyragosa. I thought to myself, ok in 7 hours for sure TLPD will be here (based on my reading). I slept for 6.5, woke up, and there he was half hour later, found him on my own without any help.
My Service to Other Players
After a while I started offering to farm him for people on my server. I got the mount for a total of 5 players over the span of two weeks spending about 1.5-2 hours per customer and making about 5,000g from each player as compensation.
How to Get it Yourself
First and foremost, obtaining this mount isn't truly about your luck. Knowing when to look for him is the key, the only part luck plays in is whether or not you see him first before another player. You should NOT be sitting in one spot farming for 12 hours at a time, this is the mistake most people make and is the main reason they never ever see the mount for months on end. What you must do:
1) Find out when the last rare dragon was killed. This is key because the respawn time is 6-12 hours shared between Vyragosa and TLPD. If you don't know the time of the last spawn, then yes you will have to sit and camp for hours until you can verify a spawn yourself. From what I noticed, it either takes him 7 or 10 hours to spawn, even though some reports claim to be otherwise. 7 and 10 are the magic numbers, this is how I manage to now farm him by spending less than 2 hours per mount: spend about 45 minutes from 6 hours 45 mins to 7 hours 15 minutes after the last spawn... if he is not there, come back 9 hours 45 minutes after the previous known spawn time and wait another 45 till 10 hours 15 minutes. He will never spawn during a half hour, this is factual and can be verified from any report you look up.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that every zone has a global Rare monster spawn timer, which will spawn a rare every 4-24 hours randomly, however this timer
does not affect Vyragosa and TLPD
, they are not considered typical rare spawns and are specifically designed to be more random and have their own spawn system (which explains also why TLPD is not on the Northern Exposure achievement). This is also why they have much longer spawn times. Dirkee and that other rare in the zone... i think his name is Kuass or something? Some worg or something like that, I've never seen him. Anyways, those two ARE affected by this timer, and that is why some TLPD campers are confused when they see Dirkee spawn an hour after Vyragosa.
2) Do not sit in one spot. Putting in the effort to patrol the most likely spawn areas will make your chances of finding him much higher. It is probably necessary to have an epic flyer since competition is fierce and a slow mount will get you nowhere. Patrolling between Valkyrion and the Maker's Engine, as well as all around the mountain west of the engine is all you need. He does have an off chance of being elsewhere, but more likely than not he will be in these places and if you patrol everywhere else it will take you too long to go from one place to another and you will lose the mount.
3) Try to hunt in the wee hours of the morning. When I found mine it was 7:53 server time on one of the most overpopulated servers WoW has to offer, and nobody else even flew by a good 10-15 minutes after I downed him. The night before however when I saw Vyragosa, there were about 6 or 7 people farming for it themselves, some allies some Horde, and probably 5 or so were crowding around Vyras corpse after the kill... which says a lot.
4) Do not rely soley on add-ons. This is self explanatory, the more alert you are the less likely you will miss him, regardless of how flawless the add-on is.
If you follow these steps, I know it will take less than 5 hours (depending on how many times Vyragosa spawns before TLPD) to get your mount. If it takes you more, you are not following these rules closely enough. I have been farming it since my first encounter so efficiently that I will personally come to your server and do this for you if you can't manage it on your own.
Good luck to everyone still reading this.

Ok FINALLY after 4 month of camping 18/24 hours a day i killed my Time lost Proto Drake! 6:21pm server Ananchronos Eu over bors breath, it had came from the ulduar spawn point. Still in shock and disbelief atm!
I have killed vyragosa 49 times mostly over bors breath, seen her dead or tagged by some1 else 12 times
I thought my hunt was finally over 44 days ago when Npc scan picked him up over the Snowdrift plains but sadly he was dead.
A few things i noticed while camping is you can never know when or from which spawn point Time lost/Vyra will come.
The least time between vyra kills i had was 7hrs the most was 23 hrs (maybe missed a kill some1 killed and skinned) Some days i stayed up for over 24hrs obsessed by this beautiful dragon. Is it worth it even after 4mth? Yeh definately!
As many have posted before they seem to spawn close to the hour they was killed at ie: 5:20pm then 2:24am.
It feels so great to finally get him after a long haul than a lucky fly through.
My advice is patrol every 15 mins if u can if not camp at bors breath just south of valkyrion.
Thx a lot to every1 who posted useful info and stories here kept me going through some very boring nights camping :)
Good luck fellow hunters

Ive managed to get this mount on one of my 3 characters and i am trying for all 3 Ive learned to patrol on the 15m and 45m of the hours and to camp on the 0m and 30m it helps to know when the last kill of vyragosa happened in order to start camping 6 hours later as for where to camp bores breath and engine of the makers are the top 2 spots

Is there any way to check the last time either of the two rares were killed without interacting with any other players?

Shapeshifted; Executus, US; 12:57 PM Server time, 1-18-10
I camped for 24-26 hours prior to this, no sightings of any rares.
I got sick of waiting for the TLPD to spawn, so I left to do a few quests on my DK. I decide to log back on my main and fly through Bor's Breath. As soon as I get to the part nearest Valkyrion, NPCscan goes off, causing me to freak out. I find the TLPD, and notice it's flying in a weird direction. A tauren druid had gotten aggro, but not tagged him yet. I frantically struggled to get to ground, and can't tag him in time. I wanted to kill the druid, but it would have just been a waste of time.
Will continue to update sightings/kills.

Hey All,
I'm a Ally lvl 80 Hunter on Grizzly Hills server. After finding these comments, I decided to try my luck at Time. I used NPS scan and Overlay. Also a simple "/target time" macro. I have fast flying, and used my Auto dismount option. For air attacks you will need snowfall larger (For slow fall). You buy it from Frosthold for 2 relics each.
Here is my 4 days on the Hunt...
Day #1
Jan 14th-15th 6pm-3am server time
I stayed over the Frozen lake in Bor's Breath facing the frozen river, only taking short mini scouts up the paths. I didn't dare to leave my camping spot near the hour mark or half hour mark as these seemed to be the time of spawn. During the night from 6pm till around midnight the server stayed pretty crowded. I checked who else was in Storm Peaks with the /who. It gave me an idea of how many were camping Time as well. I met 3 others who were. They mostly scouted the whole routes, and stayed clear of the lake area. There were also other Hunter's who just wanted to Tame Skoll. I got so bored I made chat with most the "locals". By 2am the server pop died down to about 10 people. At 2:26 NPS alerted me to Vyragossa. She came at me from the right side out of Rohemdal Pass. She flew medium height and pretty slow. I flew over her, targeted and hit her with a Arcane shot. Took snowfall larger, and continued to shoot her. She was dead before I hit the ground. She is skinnable. I gave up for the night.
Day#2
Jan 15th-16th 2pm-4am
Stayed in my spot. Again at 2:30 Vyra shows up this time from the left coming over Valkyrion village there. Got her again. Went to bed.
Day #3
Jan 16th- 17th 3pm-4am
Signed on today to find my Oracle egg hatched. Yup, my lucky day! Got the Green photo drake!
I didn't care, I still wanted Time. This has become an obsession now. Tamed Skoll at 3am near Blue dragons, No sighting of eaither drake.
Day#4
Jan17th-18th 2pm-5am
I was getting sooo tired of sitting there doing nothing. Friends were getting mad because I was not running any dungeons, or raids. I did'nt even gather any skins while I was there. I didn't move. At 3:30am this morning, I was about to go run my random daily dungeon, I headed up the fozen river twords the water fall. My NPS scan went off...TLPD! He was flying mid range, not as High as I was thinking he would be, from the water fall end of the river going twords the lake. No, he did NOT come from Engine of Makers, which confused me. My chest pounding, I got above him and targeted. Arcane shot, snowfall larger, and landed with Time still on me. I was soo confused and could'nt see anything. I backed into the valley wall...arrgo'd Harpies... the whole time, Time was right on me and I could not get range to attack. Finally he went for my pet and I took him down in another two hits. Killed the two harpies and looted my mount.
In closing...The other two Time campers gave up. One the day before, one an HOUR before! Don't give up. It's not really a matter of "if" you get this mount but "when". I would give it 2 weeks. Camp early morning hours. I had never seen TLPD before dead or alive. But if you do see him before you get yours, make sure to clear you cashe for NPS scan to work again. I go so sick of the alarm jumping the crap out of me I left Vyragossa and Skoll in the Cashe'. Good Luck fellow Time Hunters!

Finally, after months looking for it, I finally found it.
Server time 2:28AM.
But at that moment I was actually looking for
"Skoll"
,
I have already given up looking for Time-Lost, bec. I've already spent months looking for it already.
I was doing other stuff w/ my computer, multiple apps was open, when I saw Time-Lost I couldn't
believe my eye, and panic followed :D, i tried to chase it but my frame rate dopped to 2 and my lat was 1k,
my WoW started to freeze up and looks like its going to crash while i see time-lost disappear before my eye,
I gambled and logged out, close all the apps and downloads, logged back in(and it took a long time to logged in bec. i had a lot of AddOns)hehe. When i was logged in, its nowhere to be found, I followed the common path everyone confirmed,
until I went to a complete circle, i thought I lost it already, but just when i was about to reach the spot where i started,
there it was flying slowly, it took me a few mins to find a spot where i can unmount and tag it.
This was pure luck, i tried timing it before, killed
"Vyragosa"
a few times already and nothing seems to work, but if you stay at it, be patient and maybe farm your 2ndary prof. near the path while waiting, it might just appear when you least expect it to.
One thing i can confirm is that it wont disappear immediately, it will fly around for at least 15min if no one tagged it.
Good Luck.

After roughly three months of 8 hour camping every day, I finally got my drake at 4:20 am, at the Engine of Makers, realm Fenris. For the first two months I always camped Bor's Breath like how most people here said to do, and although I killed Vyra over a dozen times, I never once found Time-Lost. Another person claimed they got it in Bor's Breath only a few days after I started camping, though.
On my realm, Time-Lost seemed to appear once a week in the evenings, and almost always at the Engine of Makers, so even though Bor's Breath has multiple spawn points near the frozen lake, on my realm he rarely spawned there, so I thought that maybe it spawns in different places more on different realms. So I abandoned camping Bor's Breath and moved to camp the Engine of Makers. After a few weeks doing that, very early in the morning my NPC scan went off, and I was sure it was Vyra bothering me again, but it was the Time-lost, flying either towards Bor's Breath or towards Ulduar. I was lucky, at such a late time only five other alliance were on, and possibly the same Horde players. I took him down quickly and looted my mount, then went to Dalaran to show off.
There's no awesome technique to getting this great mount, it's all luck, even camping has it's downfalls because the thing spawns in several different places. What I advise is keep a close ear to people in chat to see if they got it, and write down where and when. If you ever see someone with the Time-Lost, ask them politely where and when they got their mount, owners are usually glad to help/brag. Once you've gathered all this info, you will have a good estimation at which area the drake appears most on your server.

Ret. Paladin on Icecrown (nabbed Time-Lost at 9:23 PM server time on January 26th, 2010)
Well...I can't say I have been actively hunting this drake...I fly the flight path of the drakes looking for ore and whenever I'm watching TV or a movie, I'll leave myself flying over the
frozen lake in Bor's Breath
...Well, while watching a movie, I saw it flying around and was able to bag it!
My biggest fear was while kiting it to the ground a ranged DPS burn him down but luckly, no one was around to do that.
I have to consider myself extremely lucky, since I had not seen Time-Lost or Vyragosa spawn. This was a first and lucky for me, it was Time-Lost.

I just missed this kill by about .5 second. I have been camping it for a month now. This week I've been putting in some long work hours and I leave WoW on in the background with NPCscan and my toon camped over the lake at Bor's Breath. I've seen Vyragosa like 5-6 times in a month. I was on the phone with one of my co-workers when NPCscan went off. I brought WoW to the foreground assuming it'd be Vyra again but saw it was Time Lost. I was like ," ZOMGTimezlostgottago..." and threw my phone down.
In the tizzy I accidentally switched to an application that covered WoW's window and fumbled to switch back. In the amount of time that took, a horde shadow priest flew past me, tagged TLPD and that was that. I actually helped with the kill (which wasn't much effort) b/c I didn't know if he had tagged it or if my mid-air fan of knives - which hit just fine - did the trick. I realized when I couldn't loot it that I was too late.
For those keeping track, it was flying up the river towards Valkyrion and was killed right at the small waterfall where the harpies are. It occured almost exactly at 10pm server on Greymane.
Question: Is TLPD skinnable? I couldn't skin it after the kill which leads me to believe that the hordie didn't loot it, or didn't loot it completely. If he left any loot behind it would more likely be the reins than the satchel and the reason would be b/c he already had the mount...which makes my loss all the more bitter.

I was hoping you'd show up here. I'm curious...were you camping, or did you just happen to show up in the right place at the right time? What method did you use to tag him? I never saw you attack.
And why didn't you at least give me the gratification of accepting my duel? ;) I needed vindication.

3 months after I started farming this thing, and no luck yet. I almost got it earlier today, but I arrived a few seconds late as a random paladin stole my prize from me. I won't give up though, this mount will be mine! I've recently started to keep track of all the rare spawns I killed in the Storm Peaks, and here's my list:
(Server: Drak'thul US)
Mob - Server Time - Date -Coords - Kill (K)/Corpse Sighting (S)/Report (R)/Confirmed Report (C)
Vyragosa - 4:02pm- ?/12/10 - 27.2, 58.2 - (K)
Vyragosa - 12:00am - 13/01/10 - At Ulduar- (R)
Vyragosa - 10:00am - 13/01/10 - 27.4, 63.9 - (K)
Vyragosa - 7:56pm - 18/01/10 - 28.0, 63.7 - (K)
Dirkee - 8:44pm - 20/01/10 - 41.7, 51.8 - (K)
Skoll - 9:07am - 22/01/10 - 30.5, 64.6 - (K)
Vyragosa - 5:14pm - 22/01/10 - 30.0, 66.0 - (C)
Vyragosa - 10:27pm - 26/01/10 - 30.8, 65.6 - (K)
TLPD - 12:20pm - 30/01/10 - 42.1, 59.6 - (S) T_T
That drake WILL BE MINE!

I was fortunate enough to get this yesterday on my paladin main. I happened to be in Valkyrion doing my JC daily when NPCscan went off telling me the TLPD spawned. Lucky me - it spawned right beside my current location! It was heading from Bor's Breath area past Valkyrion, and was flying quite low.
It was simply a matter of flying into him to aggro him and then landing and finishing him off. I did this in a matter of moments as our server (Dark Iron) usually has a lot of people looking for him, so I knew I wouldn't have much time. Sure enough there were a number of Horde and Alliance there immediately afterwards.
I realize how rare this spawn is so I count myself fortunate to get it. I've tried camping the spawn points and routes in the past and gave up eventually, so to get it out of the blue like this was quite the surprise.

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

I bagged this mount about four months ago and then I took a break from wow. I used a /target time macro with an alarm message and an auto clicker to keep clicking the macro all night long. I camped on the frozen lake over bors breath just above the waterfall. I hooked up a sub to my comp so that if my macro went off, the alarm would wake me up or I could at least hear it from anywhere in the house. I kept this macro on all day and all night, at
least
15 hours a day! It took me three months of keeping my computer on all day and night before it finally went off! Truthfully, i would never waste my time camping this guy without a program to do it for me. That program sat there endlessly for three months straight b4 it finally went off. I would say that camping the TLPD would be one of the biggest wastes of time any human being could possibly do! Don't bother looking!

Sorry, I know where Bor's Breath is but I have seen many people commenting on how they are camping above the frozen lake.
Where abouts exactly is this frozen lake in Bor's Breath. Is it on the Western end next to the harpies and to the West of the small waterfall? (29,66)
Thankyou.

After reading up about the Time-Lost Proto Drake I decided to start waiting it out in the Storm Peaks until I managed to find and kill this dragon.
Having gathered up the best location to wait out for the dragon I headed to the Western section of Bor's Breath just above the frozen lake (30,66), bringing with me 8
Snowfall Lagers
so that I could dismount and tag him whilst in the air. I also installed NPC Scan so that I could do some work/watch television while World of Warcraft was minimized.
I am creating a log of my journey to try and kill the Time-Lost Proto Drake:
8th Februaury 2010
I started waiting for the Time-Lost Proto Drake at around 10:00PM on the 8th February. I waited at my spot, only moving every 30 minutes to check the fourth possible route the dragon could follow which doesn't pass my camping spot. I heard someone had killed Vyragosa at around 9:30PM. I saw no sign of the Time-Lost Proto Drake or Vyragosa.
9th Februaury 2010
I spent around 8-10 hours today at my camping spot and like any other day doing the odd fourth route to check for the Time-Lost Proto Drake. I saw no sign of a dragon until at 4:25PM when my NPC Scan went off while I was watching television. I scrambled to my computer only to find that it was Vyragosa. Nevertheless I killed her and went back to my camping spot. I saw no sign of any other dragon that day. I got Vyragosa right when she spawned, above the frozen lake at precisely 30.0 , 70.5
10th February 2010
Today I spent around 6-7 hours in my usual camping spot looking for the Time-Lost Proto Drake, however luck was not on my side and I didn't catch a sight of him today. I did although managed to kill Vyragosa again today at 4:43PM. I found her at the Southern edge of Bor's Breath, by the large waterfall. I encountered her while I was taking one of my trips down to the fourth possible route the drake can take, as the route does not pass where I am camping. She was heading up the valley of Bor's Breath, towards where my camping position was. I killed her at 36.8 , 72.0.
11th February 2010
Today I spent 6 hours trying to find the Time-Lost Proto Drake, however it was not a great day for me. During the whole 6 hours I was at my camping spot and taking regular patrols around the fourth route I did not find Vyragosa or the Time-Lost Proto Drake anywhere. At around 7:40PM I heard someone yell "The Time-Lost Proto Drake has been killed!" and my heart sank immediately. I whispered the guy who yelled and he said he saw a horde kill the drake at the Engine of the Makers. Knowing that the Time-Lost Proto Drake or Vyragosa won't be spawning for the rest of the day I decided to stop for the night.
One positive thing however was that during the 6 hours my NPC Scan went off and I saw Skoll had spawned right infront of me, atleast I got a BoE Blue for my troubles. :)
12th February 2010
I spent 7 hours today trying to find the Time-Lost Proto Drake. It was not a good day and I didn't see any rare spawns at all in Storm Peaks throughout my day searching. Halfway through my 7 hours searching I decided to change how I am finding the Time-Lost Proto Drake. Instead of standing in my regular camping position above Bor's Breath I decided to start doing patrols around a path I devised that crossed many of the points where the Time-Lost Proto Drake spawns and has been killed. I will decide which method turns out to be the most effective in a few days and stick to it.
13th February 2010
No luck today. I spent around 7 hours camping today but did not kill the Time-Lost Proto Drake or Vyragosa, however I am still determined to get this mount. I would camp at my position above the Frozen Lake at Bor's Breath while every 10-15 minutes I would take the patrol route I thought up yesterday. At 9:17PM I found Vyragosa dead on the side of the mountain, directly above where I was camping. However she decided to spawn while I was on one of my patrols around Storm Peaks. The person who killed her said she was taking the route around the Frosthold mountain and bumped into her while taking his quest back to Frosthold. Oh well, hopefully tommorow will be my lucky day!

Logged in, Proto drake agroed me while in bor's breath as soon as I logged in.
On a funny side note, I freaked out and instantly dotted him as any shadow priest would. However, I forgot how high up I was, and fell almost to my death, leaving about 2.2k hp left. THAT made the fight interesting!

Couple of days ago I got EXTREMELY lucky with getting this.
I was flying around Storm Peaks looking for the last quest I had missed for The Summit of Storm Peaks achievement (Which happened to be Veranus, the one for the small proto-drake eggs.)
Caught him flying around the eggs around 45.5, 67.0 and followed him all the way to the bottom of the frozen river just south of Temple of Storms before killing him and getting the mount finally.
Around 7-8am server time on Anachronos EU if anybody is interested.
Edit: 5 days and my screenshot hasn't been accepted or got round to being decided to be accepted or not..Hmm.

Get 12 buddies together in, say, college. Have them do 2 hour shifts and call you
of they see the TLPD.
I can see it all now....

Finally caught TLPD on The Maelstrom, 3:26am, 15/02/10, on my Troll Mage Nelian! It spawned just above Frosthold near the icicle/iceberg virtually in the town.. I was pretty lucky really as i just finished my last run round and was logging out, but on 18 secs to logout NPCscan went off and my jaw dropped xD
Spent 5 days (15 hours a day) farming this mount, but it was worth it!
GOOD LUCK ALL!

I can confirm that a spawn point is above Bor's Breath, i killed Vyragosa there today ( February 17th 2010) at 7:05 AM realm time on Mannoroth US. :P Was unexpected but she sure did surprize me, but so thus starts my long, long Time-lost camp. :S

Feral Druid here, Been casually farming for about two weeks and Just got Him about 2 hours ago =)
http://i.imgur.com/6pxTo.jpg
I'd say I've spent about 30 hours on it, half the time was spent herbing the area and half of the time I was just sitting in Bor's Breath, on a tree east of the waterfall, while working on something else on the computer, manually clicking off the afk warning every half hour.
So far I've had 3 Vyragosa encounters and one TLPD
Was in Bor's Breath when _NPCScan went off. He was flying north, coming from Frost Hold. I pulled him into the mountain close to Valkyrion (see screenshot).
I was worried it might be difficult to pull him close enough to melee him down and so wanted to line of sight pull him behind a house, but he came right up to the mountain and was easily downed.

Two reasons for this post:
1) I need to rant...
I am now up to 220-225 hours of camping, and all that has got me is seeing 1 dead TLPD. And yes, I have been sad enough to keep records, so I am not exaggerating how long it has been.
Currently its been 40 hours+ since I even saw Vyragosa. Its horrible.
All I would say is be prepared for a very long haul if you decide to do this.
2) Some useful things I have learned (and so this post doesn't get horribly downrated)
I have now hard 18 kills/sightings of Vyra/TLPD so, I have learned a few things.
- Spawn locations
I have personally witnessed 2 spawns at different areas of Bor's Breath, just south of Valkyrion. This does make it a very good spot to camp, as you cover 2 spawns points, plus 3 of his routes overall.
The downside is that its usually the first place any "casual" campers go, plus you will miss any Brunnhildar spawns entirely. Also if Vyra/TLPD spawns on the Frosthold route then they will often be killed coming up the frozen waterfall before they reach you.
- Spawn times
The shortest period I have gone betweeb Vyra spawns is 8 hours. There are many reports on here that it can be as few as 6, but I can't confirm that myself.
- "Hot" times
I have seen a definite bias towards Vyra spawning:
a) roughly around the hour/half hour
b) roughly around X hours or X hours + 30 minutes since last killed
It doesn't always work, but it has happened like that often enough for it to be very unlikely to be a coincidence.
- Avoid the peak periods
If you can only camp for a certain amount of time, avoid the major busy periods in WoW. As late as night or as early in the morning as possible are both good. Not only is there more chance of killing TLPD if it spawns, but also you are more likely to find Vyragosa, and so at least get an idea of the next spawn.
Equally be aware of the meta-game and what else is going on. World Events can certainly make the zone a lot busier, although you can't do much about it except go and get something else done in WoW or real life, and then come back another week.

I got my drake in just 2 hours.
After 1 hour of just flying around, Skoll spawned and I killed him.
1 hour after that I was just afking near Valkyrion. And what I didn't notice, was that he spawned almost above me. He was heading towards Valkyrion.
I think it's possible that after Skoll is killed, a few hours after his death, TLPD will spawn. I have seen 1 other player also saying that a few hours after he killed Skoll, his friend killed TLPD.

Seriously, guys, wth is it with your server query macro?
I can log in and it won't be postable, 5 min later it's working, if I delete my cache and relog, same again.
I think that macro is pretty unreliable, as I can reproduce the behaviour at any time.

Today I went to camp on the Breath for the very first time, as today was the first day I heard of that mount. I gave up after about 2 hours.
10 hours later, while flying to sons of hodir to do some dailies, I ran directly into him between brunnhildar and the plane with the blue drakes, pulled him down, killed, looted.
About three horde players were like a sec there after the kill, killing me while I laughed. And laughed. And laughed. I posted the reins into the chat (though you can't click them in general chat), and the people showered me with whispers^^
Guess I'm just insanely lucky here.

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

Well, on a random mining patrol today I happened to come across another drake in the sky. Little did I know that it was indeed the so viciously sought after Time-Lost Proto Drake. I honestly didn't even know it existed but nevertheless the grey dragon around the portrait got me jumping in my seat!
I found him flying over the ice northwest of K3 and east of Frosthold. Aggro-ed and made him follow me to the ground where a hordie gasped at my lucky catch! After sitting in Dal with my prize, and receiving an absolute barrage of whispers, I think I can count myself one lucky duck.
GL to everyone farming it. It's a gorgeous looking drake <3

well tu all for the info u posted here.I never though about that Tlpd farming but i started it 2 days ago kinda hardcore 12 hours per day and i got it few hours ago!All info above is kinda correct it seems like a 15/16 Tlpd spawn sharing it with vyragosa and they seem to spawm in 6 to 12 hours as i killed Vyra 2 times!
i hope u all get lucky like i did since there r ppl farming it for so much longer then me :)

After about four months of casually patrolling Storm Peaks in the usual locations, my /target macro found the sucker. Lucky me, I was on my little notebook laptop with the settings turned all the way down, so tracking him in all the unloaded fog was tricky. There he was, flying above the Engine of the Makers. I was shaking so hard when I realized I was the first to get to him.
As a rogue, killing a mob from such a height would have been intimidating, but thanks to Killing Spree and plenty of trial runs by killing Vyra I was sure I had the TLPD. I knew it was now or never-- other hunters were in the area.
I Popped KS, knocked him down to a quarter health and began falling. Popped my trusty parachute cloak and watched his health drop thanks to my poisons, but I was falling too quickly for him to catch up again for me to finish the job.
He was at 10 health when -- and I kid you not-- his aggro reset and he flew back to his patrol route. By the time I stopped falling and flew up to find him again, a warlock had tagged and killed him.
It's safe to say TLPD broke my heart. >: I haven't been able to spend more then an hour waiting for him since. I'll never underestimate 10 health ever again.

Several months ago, I began a very long camping session for this Drake. I gave up, and pretty much stopped going to the Storm Peaks in annoyance.
However, today, during a random flight up to where to find the Jormunguar for the Argent Tournament quest, I found him. Pulling him to the nearest cliff, I tagged him, and killed him. Needless to say, I was dancing like a fool around the room :P

I recently started farming this hardcore with 3 accounts that I own.
Had some interesting results regarding the spawns and the timing of the respawn.
I keep 1 character at ulduar spawn, 1 at bors falls, and 1 stealthed in between bors breath and valk.
2-26 11:20 am Vara (My Kill)
2-27 5:20 am Vara (My Kill)
2-27 10:43 pm Vara (My Kill)
2-28 10:43 am TLPD (Not my kill, lol turned off sound by accident and had a character 20 yards from him when he spawned DOH)
3-1 10:17 pm Vara (My Kill) Did not spawn in the mountian at bor's falls. Spawned or flew in from the village to the East of it. - Never seen this spawn on youtube ect so I have confirmed that there is more than 4 spawns. - This based off the german youtube video that is what I base my camp strat off of.
So based on this information unless my server is really wonky with the spawn times I am consistantly getting 12 hour respawns or very close to this. Because I camp every spawn I get every kill so far, so its just a matter of time. I have this down to a science. ANYWAYS, I will continue the update as although alot of people have good information on their spawns, they are not triple/multiboxing so they can not CONFIRM sightings like I can and CONFIRM kill times and locations.
More information as it comes in! For all you TLPD hunters good luck, I am trying to get a exact timeframe down and will continue camping after I get the drake.
I want to prove several things;
1: The respawn can not happen post the 24 hour mark of the last kill.
2: The respawn will occur + or - 1 hour from the previous time Vara or TLPD was killed.
3: There is more than 5 spawns. (I have personally confirmed the spawn out of the mountian at Valk and out of mountian at Bor's falls.
Some flaws in my strategy, I must sleep so therefore I sleep all of my characters for 6 hours after the drake has been killed. So far in reading this entire thread of comments there has not been a kill CONFIRMED within the 6 hours mark of the previous kill. For example I last killed vargosa tonight at 10:17. At 4:15ish am they will be back in place.
Anything beyond what I have posted, suggestions or proof that my finding are incorrect/correct would be awesome.

Well, I never thought I'd be adding to this topic, but to my dismay today I can finally say I have my tlpd!
Today Feralice (disc priest), on server Auchindoun, at 4:13 central time (5:13 server), slain the mythical Time Lost.Proto Drake.
The Story:
So I've been hunting this mythical beast for just over a month, and for the first two weeks I put about 15+ hours a day camping. I had came across his corpse two times previously both times in my camp spot (29,66), above frozen lake. Both times occurred 5 minutes after leaving my post :(
I have killed Vyragosa about 20 times, most of them logged.
Today, while camping in my usual spot above frozen, I see an ally warrior so I decide to entertain myself a bit. Well his DK friend shows up, I die. Rez right away, warriors gone, dk starts to fight me again, I just tank him and he ends up giving up... only to fly away, which to my surprise I let him go (usually I will chase around and /taunt /flex).
So I mount back up, ready to head to Dalaran itching for some more pvp but decide to make one big loop. My loop consists of a figure eight on the flightpatch going counter clockwise (east)through Bor's Breath, north through Engine of Makers, then east over Brunnhilder village in a clockwise motion working my way back towards Frozen Lake eventually. This route works best because it goes in opposite direction of tlpd or Vyragosa, so if they are spawned you should fly right into them.
Tired, not paying much attention, when I least expect it, my _npcscan goes off, shortly before Brunnhildar, it's TLPD! I couldn't belive it, and was just hoping not to find a corpse. Well, shortly after the alarm sounds, he appears right infront of me flying directly into me! I shadow word death, levitate, cast my hots, he hits me! I start to fall! I tried to recast levitate but wasn't quick enough, luckily the fall wasn't big enough to kill me. Heart racing, hoping no allies are around, I quickly kill and loot. I sat in disbelief for a moment, could not belive what had just happened.
All the hard work had paid off. I can safely say this was the happiest moment in my WoW career. This was well deserved as I put in around 200+ hours. Yes, I know many others have invested much more time, but I also know a many more have stumbled upon him randomly sometimes not even knowing what they had found.
Here is a log of the kills I recorded while hunting this beast, his timer is 6-24 hours, so it's very hard to track but it's still nice to keep a record if you are serious about getting this guy. Hours are marked time between last kill.
vyragosa 2-12 @ 7:18 pm server time (ME) frozen lake
vyragosa 2-13 @ 6:20 pm (uncomfirmed) k3, doomraider 23hrs
vyragosa 2-14 @ 7:30 am (me) frozen lake 13hrs
vyragosa 2-14 @ 7:26 pm (me) frozen lake, flying east towards engine 12hrs
vyragosa 2-15 @ 11:35 am (me) frozen lake, flew south then back up bor's breath 16hrs
vyragosa 2-16 @ 5:43 pm (corpse) frozen lake 18hrs
tlpd 2-19 @ 12:05 am (corpse) frozen lake just north by valk vamp
vyragosa 2-19 @ 12:27 pm (me) frozen lake south from valkyrion 12hrs
vyragosa 2-20 @ 7:10 am (me) frozen lake flying west towards valkryion 18.5
vyragosa 2-20 @ 9:47 pm (me) frozen lake north past valkryion 14.5
vyragosa 2-21 @ 8:12 pm (corpse) directly in front of k3 22.3
vyragosa 2-22 @ 9:49 pm (me) bor's breath, towards the cliff 25.3
tlpd 2-23 @ 10:05 pm (corpse) bor's breath, 36,34 on cliff by dwarfs 10:35
vyra 2-27 @ 8:19 am (me) bor's breath, directly in front of me
tlpd 3-2 5:13 pm (me) 47,65 heading north from brunnhilder
On a final note, they say when deciding to hunt this guy pick a spot and stick with it. I belive in this method. In all of my time hunting, everytime i slain vyra or seen tlpd corpse, it was at my camp spot (29,66). I used to be nervous to leave for my trips around K3, felt like I was leaving home base.
Strangely enough my kill ended up coming from the K3 route, right in front of Brunnhildar village, which I know is one of his few spawn points.
Whatever you do, don't give up. The best way to catch him is obviously camp a spot as much as possible, invest all your time and keep logs. If you can get a kill on vyragosa, see his or tlpd corpse, you know you can take a break for a while and come back to hunt 6 hours from last kill. If you get discouraged, take a break, or take a more casual approach.
The last 3 weeks he has spawned every Tuesday after server maintenance (not right after restart, but that day). So this week I wasn't camping as hard as usual, but still spent all my free time there, and whenever watching tv would stay logged in as well. He really is unpredictable, there is no guaranteed way of finding him. Just keep reading the happy stories of others when you get discouraged, and if it's meant to be she will find you!
I truly believe this is the best looking flying mount. I am very ecstatic of this kill, and will always fly this mount and enjoy showing her off =)

As an update to my search I am adding additional spawn timers and locations.
Server reset:
Vyra out of the wall at bors falls at 12:37am on 3-2
3-3 *** REALLY INTERESTING *** Vyragosa spawns out of the wall back by ulduar (Finally confirmed the ulduar spawn point) Followed around and it does follow the path in a counter clockwise manner displayed here
http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/wowwiki/images/0/04/Timelostprotodrakepaths.jpg
Spawned at 7:45 am.
Again all the spawns are camped and I currently have 7 Vyragosa Helmets in my main characters bags :(
Good news is I own 100% of the spawns for the last 5 or so days. CROSS FINGERS FOR TLPD SPAWN TONIGHT!
Will update!

Yesterday (3/3/10) I killed Time-Lost Proto Drake at about 8:30am Pacific time on Thorium Brotherhood server, SW of FrostHold. Because of all the Hub-bub on TLPD, and Vyragosa, I stuck around over a period of 24 hours. I was surprised to find the TLPD carcass still there after nearly 24 hours but patrolled the route to see if I could find Vyragosa. In fact, I killed Vyragosa at 8am (3/4/10), right near the Ulduar spawn point, and checked for the TLPD carcass, and it was still there as well. At this point, I am thinking that there might STILL be a tie-in with spawn timers, but with two carcasses, not necessarily as strong as I originally thought, after reading many of the posts on the subject, at this point.
All I can say to those still looking for either, or both of these...
GOOD LUCK!

Spotted at 19.47, 10th march, floating over Engine of the Makers, it was flying towards the Terrace of the Makers.
Body tackle aggroed it, It went down easily.
I couldn't belive it..
I spent some hours casual hunting it last months, then somehow lost my hope in dropping one of those babies.
Then today, doing my jc daily, npc scan popped out, I clicked on the small icon thinking "sure another corpse of it... uh?... green health bar?... awesome!"
I must admit I got accelerated heartbeat while fighting it :D
So guys.. don't stop believing!

Congrats Miklannar!
I play on the same server as you, The Sha'Tar and have been hunting TLPD on and off. I usually take one cruise through Storm Peaks on my much cooler *cough* drake from Wyrmrest Accord. I have had terrible internet connection lately since my provider got broken but was fixed yesterday. Nevertheless, I flew with all my lag in hope of finding it when I see the corpse on the ground near Engine of the Makers. The time fits with your kill so you must have killed him just before I logged on.
But now since I learned that its just to much to ask from luck to just "run into him" I think I'm going to start some hardcore camping.
Hopefully I will get it someday on my Human Warlock. Realm: The Sha'Tar (europe)
For all the other hunters, good luck !
Also, I've only seen it once, which was the corpse.
Spotted Dirkee once, killed by me.
Spotted Skoll once, sold the location to a hunter who then tamed him. (round about 2-3 hours later Miklannar, who commentet erlier, got his kill).
9th March, found Skoll again @ 23:00 realm time, same spawning point as my other sight. This time I went for the kill and got all exited in hope for the drake to spawn. But false alarm. I camped Bor's Breath and Engine of the Makers for just under 2 hours when I seriously had to go to bed.

Since Wed 10th March 2010 (server restart)
I believe the Time-Lost Proto Drake (TLPD) has dropped twice on our server, yes that means 2 times in 2 days.
The first kill I did not see, but I think there was a kill because I used the script:
/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");
and it did not appear as a link, however I had to attend college and after that I tried the script again and the link worked, so I believe there could have been a kill.
I have got a screenshot of the kill for (today)
Non of these kills have been by me (unless mentioned)

I'm currently following him around on his Bor's Breath route on the PvP 3.3.3 PTR realm. I've been with him for a bit over a half an hour, so it seems that
this mob does NOT despawn unless killed
(or if the server goes down). He was spawned when I logged in, so presumably he's been spawned for some time longer than the half hour I've been patrolling around with him.
Took a video of the route that I'll post to youtube within the next week, and loads of screenshots, including this one:

He didn't seem to be able to daze me off of my mount.
Annnnd been over an hour now, and no despawn! Seems it was a myth. Here is possibly one of the most depressing error messages in the game:

Also for what it's worth, Dirkee was spawned while TLPD was flying around, so can confirm also that these two have nothing to do with each other.

This mount now only requires that you are level 70 instead of 80.
70 twinks rejoice! All you have to do is convince a level 80 to camp and kill it with you ;)
However much money they ask for it, the o.O factor of a 70 with TLPD will be worth it.

Killed at about 11:30am Azuremyst server, near the entrance of Valkyrion. Took me about a year (and about 20 Vyragosa kills) to finally see him. Don't give up on him, install NPCScan and NPCScan overlay if you don't have them. It may seem like he will never spawn, but don't get discouraged. GL to those still camping, and grats to those who managed to get him- especially those who didn't have to camp for eons- that's probably the worst part of it- camping and not seeing him for so long. I was lucky enough to never see his corpse, or miss a tag. The first spawn I witnessed I got. Logged out two different times during my camping time and he spawned at my camp spot a few minutes after, which kinda made me bug out when I read about the kills upon awakening... but it all panned out and was worth it in the end, I'm still in shock :)

And what happens, the scan went off "Time-lost Proto Drake found" and my heart started to beat really fast, only to see that it had just been killed :(
If i only have gotten there like 2 minutes faster i would have had it.
But better luck next time i guess :)

I got him last night around 8pm server time on bronze dragonflight. I have been camping him on and off for just over two weeks and have seen all the other rare spawns in the area apart from the time lost.
I went on my rounds to see if there was anything and got back to were I was camping on the ice field and my npc scan went off and there he was just fluttering past.
Best thing is to stick with it and hopefully you will get lucky.

4:13pm EST , Server ARTHAS-US.
I left my laptop and my WoW openned for the afternoon , periodically checking in every 15 minutes.
I have my laptop plugged in to a surround sound , the speakers are all around my room.
With the help of the addon called "NPC SCANNER" as i was lying in bed watching tv , i heard the sound of a rare elite detected. At that very moment , i couldn't believe it. My heart was racing , i litterally thought i was going to pass the hell out! I've been hunting for this sucker for many , many months if not a year now. I slowly aggroed him and pulled him down to the ground. I realized there was a few allies around , as i was killing him my heart was beating out of my chest. I still can't believe that i finally got him.
I want to thank the guys who posted the maps/trails on wowhead and that one guy who posted a video on youtube.
Heres some screen caps and a video of me being happy.
Some advice for people who are after this elusive guy.
Don't give up! I've been idling countless hours at a few different spots.

ok. been camping, 29,66, this rare, maybe fictitious, beast. for 3 weeks now. i have yet to see it or its corpse. beginning to think that blizzard does not like me at all or that i have my npc scan set up wrong.
vyra sitings- 6
skoll- 7
dirkee- 0
in npcscan i have custom id with id number 32491 for time lost. correct? and the macro i use to find him is
/cleartarget
/tar Time-Lost Proto Drake
/tar time
/stopmacro ,
/castrandom Devouring Plague, Shadow Word: Pain, Shadow Word: Death
nothing strange.
another question. this macro to see the reins
/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");
does it only show when someone has looted or when someone has used? after a reset?
because i have noticed inthe past week, our server has reset 5 times. when i log in directly after server goes up i cant see them, get retrieving item information. but within 90 minutes, without fail. i can see the reins.
thank you....

Got mine Sunday@4:35est server(Gilneas US)..And it only took two days (approximately 16 hours of total camp/route touring). So yeah, I feel fortunate since others have reported waiting months for this.
What they say really is true, he comes when you least expect him to. Touring was getting bothersome so I decided to kill some Blue Drakes around the 'Engine". That got boring so I decided to head up the route just to the left of Grom'arsh Crash Site and there he was, coming clockwise and southward, just as advertised. Silver Dragon was having an epileptic seizure and my heart was pounding so hard that my ribs hurt. I was on that sucker faster than a redneck to free hookers and blow, but I panicked and hit slow fall too soon. He was still within range (barely) so I tossed an AB his way as I continued to drift, down, down, down, and finally, OOR. Once I touched down, 'lo, I still had aggro. He came quite a ways without losing interest in my puny mage body, but the battle was a quick one. Within seconds the vaunted TLPD lay slain at my feet.
Victory.

You'll get him when you least expect it, kinda like winning a jackpot on a slot machine. I, like all the others here got the npcaddon, started farming him for hours on end, blah blah blah. Well, I got tired of all the time I had lost looking for this beast, so I gave up.
Yesterday, I finished up my random hero and decided to go park my toon out at my camping spot 30, 65. Arrived there as usual, planted myself just right above the tree and went out for a smoke. Came back in, sat down and BAM... NPCSCAN starts going off, i'm like yeah right... but sure enough there he was 2:30 pm server time. Flew up to him tagged him... was so excited I forgot to hit my parachute while I was falling to the ground, but luckily I didn't die. Killed him, looted my mount and away I went.
My wife was $%^&ed as she had been farming him for the last 2 weeks straight, so she continued to farm and Vyra spawned exactly 10 hours after my kill at 12:30 am server time.
Well, now i'll be helping her find her mount ;) Good luck to all of you farming this mount, I know your pains.

After a long hiatus from camping this guy I decided to start up again this week. I camped for about 5 hours on Monday and Tuesday. Yesterday camped from 10am to 6:15pm server. I was going to keep camping but was done with work for the day so I switched to my laptop so I could carry it around the house as I did other things.
In the time it took me to switch from my desktop to the laptop (10 mins) TLPD spawned and was killed. I logged in and NPCScan instantly alerted to his corpse which was lying directly below my camping spot.

So, while checking up on a website, (I was alt tabbed), my npcscanner boomed and alerted me of a spawn of a rare, specifically TLPD. I was at frosthold, so i flew down to bors breath. At the weird waterfall, the dragon was just flying towards me. Well, basically here are my tidbits of information i gathered.
-Spawned south of Frosthold i believe
-Spawned approximently 10:28
-Flys slow. A pushover, easily solo'd, can be aggroed while flying.
-Mages use slow fall, or just by that snowfall lager thing from your faction Relic of Ulduar redeemer
Good luck to anyone who attempts to get him, truely he spawns when your not paying attention...
Be sure to download npcscanner addon, without i wouldnt be flying this mount

Just signed up to post
I've been tracking Time-lost for quite some time now and have been reading the comments on this site to help me track him and must thank everyone for their input.
Yesterday I managed to finally get my hands on the reins of the time lost proto drake.
Server: The Venture Co. EU
Sever time: 06:36am
Coordinates: 31.7, 69.7
For a while now I spent a lot of time camping around Bor's Breath area and every so often doing the normal known patrol routes he takes. Sadly, after weeks on end I only seen Vyragosa three times. Two being my kill and the other being someone else after I'd logged out just for 30 seconds.
I finally gave up camping, It works for some people but for me it was becoming way too much. I decided that I'd only do the Brunnhildar Village daily and patrol the known routes and that was it.
Yesterday after just finishing up daily I went over the engine of makers, as soon as I hit the abandon camp my NPC scan went off. In the distance Time-Lost was flying anti-clockwise along the Frost Hold route.
What took me by surprise was the fact at how high he was actually flying. I always thought that on the Frost Hold route Time-Lost would be lower to the ground, within aggro range from the ground.
I quickly caught up with him and killed him
-
Here are some screen shots that people may find useful
Picture One
http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/566/timelost1.png
Just wanted to show you how high he was from Bro's Breath. Anyone camping there would certainly miss Time-Lost. I also killed Vyragosa twice in near enough this same spot.
Picture Two
http://img638.imageshack.us/img638/4079/timelost2.png
The location that I aggro on Time-Lost, if you look at the mini map for NPC overlay you will notice that where I got aggro isn't marked. Coords for Aggro; 31.8,69,0
-UPDATE-
As I was writing this I went to the location that I killed Time-lost to make sure my Coordinates are right. Npc scan just went off and Vragosa was right beside me.
http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/4371/vyragosa.png
This really makes me believe that this is either a spawn place or a very good camping spot because you are out of the way from NPC overlay which most people follow.
One Time-Lost Kill and 3 Vragosas in this spot, you could give it a try and see.
Hopefully this information helps everyone and it can be of use.
Best of luck Hunters.

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...

After 2 and a half months of camping TLPD with 18 Vyragosa kills,4 Skoll kills and 3 Dirkee kills and 4 TLPD sightings 2 already dead and 1 TLPD I missed tagging by 5 seconds.I finally got my TLPD mount.
I am here to share what I can definately confirm to be true. The coordinates 40/56 is definately a spawn point of TLPD(Engine of Makers) this is where my TLPD kill spawned and I chased him over the mountain and killed him at 47/42. Coordinates 31/70 is another definate spawn point.This spot is up on the mountain by Frosthold and he flys down toward the frozen lake and takes one of the paths around the mountain.51/71 is an unconfirmed spawn point because I only have reliable information that TLPD spawns around that area (Brunnhildar Village).
I rotated between these 3 spots and eventually got lucky enough to pick the right spot one night. If you are really serious about getting the TLPD then you can do like I did and make a setup which involves a circulating fan with a pencil and NPCSCAN turned up loud enough to wake you up ;).

Ok, after months of either hardcore camping or just passing by, i have finally... obtained the mount. The way i obtained it, it seemed to be different than any other day, i was so confident. I dont know why, but having i just knew it would come this day...
So, basically, my total camping time is beyond 150hours+ easily. I didnt keep track, but i know it.
Vyragosa (10+ times killed by me) (20+ times seen dead)
Dirkee (5+ times killed by me) (5+ times seen dead)
Skoll (3 times killed by me) (5+ times seen dead)
Time Lost (1 kill by me) (1 seen dead /fail)
I started camping this mount when my first char hit 80 during naxx and maylgos raids were "big". After encounters with dirkee and vyragosa, and dozens of hours spent, i logged in one day, to be disconnected 20 secs later... i get a snack, water, and get back to log back in, sure enough i log back in and see the time lost near my feet dead. Priceless... After this shock, i spend another week looking for it and decide to go back to raiding etc, months pass, and i do a couple hours in and out...
I took a break from wow, came back, and just a week ago, my IRL friend (on another realm) was talking about how he was going to go "obtain the time lost" and sure enough i laughed and made fun of that comment. Somehow... that got me into saying, heck, why not give it a go again while im on vacation, and for a few days from 6-10pm till 6am+, i would wait and camp... obessive almost. Well, TODAY at exactly 12:03pm, i found vyragosa. which gave me a nice guess as to when the next one would appear.
Now the funney thing is, at around 2pm or something, my friend logs on skype we talk, he logs on wow, BOOM, npcscan goes off on him and he finds the time lost proto drake dead. He has never even seen a vyragosa or dirkee, and after a few hours he sees the time lost dead, the hilarious part is, 5 mins before the time losts death, he switches comp, (Logs off basically). So in those 5 mins he missed it... Shame.. Well i start saying that ill definitely get the time lost today at 6:03pm
(me thinking of the 6+ hour respawn, and giving in a logical guess) He says bull$%^& etc, sure enough at 6 im there, nothing :(... however i was so determined and i knew it would come, i decided to wait all night, not to mention i got some sleeping disorder so it didnt bother me, watching films etc keep me busy.
12pm, nothing... watching Max Payne..
3am nothing... watching American Pie... god knows why but it was hilarious at 3am.
5:50am exactly. i minimize my wow, put on I am Legend. ... *!@# i loose track of my daily 5 min check.. so at 6:03AM EXACTLY i open up my WoW to find npcscan on and the time lost proto drake icon with it..
im like oh %^&*, i click on it, sadly no target, ..&*!@.. (btw im on ravencrest, overpopulated server with more obessive freaks wanting the mount alliance and horde)
PANIC, which way to go, cause i was just standing at bors breath ofc, either go down the waterfall, or go on the side.. 50/50 CHANCE. I picked waterfall and no signs of time lost... ^&*!... now im thinking that he could of teleported/disapeared etc. I come around the edge and go back up the other side of bors breath, and boom i see him, full hp etc im ready, hes near a ledge, easy mode. i fly up to him, he hits me ONCE dazes me i fall to my death
... ur kidding...
I release spirit and frantically get back to my body, ofc the target is gone, and i now have 3 possible routes he could of taken.... ffs... i decide to go back up to bors edge, as i remembered he follows a same pattern route rule... sure enough, he was there and there was an alliance guy flying above him, at this point im like oh ^&*! not good.
GOOD news, the lock wasnt very smart and killed himself... by falling /lol...
i take my chance, get it down, nuke it. nuke the angry lock with it, and i finally obtain the mount! :)
In conclusion, in exactly 18 hours time, it spawned. that is a fact. from 12:03pm - 6:03am.
Oh and earlier, at around 3-4am, i found skoll btw.
GL to all the TRUE campers on finding this :)

I just got two TLPD mounts within 10 hours of each other.
4/10/10; I log in at 2:00. At 2:50 he spawns on the Brunnhildar route. Tagged an bagged him for my huntard.
4/11/10; 12:00 I just finished up PVPing with my low level and decided I would do a quick camp before logging out. At 12:35 I saw him flying down from the Engine of the Makers. My lock got him this time.
It was surely my lucky day. The chances of this happening on the weekend seemed almost impossible to me. I guess the population on Shu'Halo is dieing down.

Got this today (04/13/2010) on Llane server 7:26 AM server time. Killed on Valkyrion. Was going to do my daily quest for the polar bear mount when I thought I'd pass by other route just to check, you never know... (last time I thought about doing this I didn't due to laziness and 5 mintues later someone claimed killing the drake where I'd have gone to look).
It was purely a lucky event for me, I'm currently farming other mounts and was thinking about starting farming this one once I have more free time. My advice for people after it (or any other farmings): don't give up, check for it even when you don't expect it to appear.
Currently my most beautiful flying mount and I dare say the most beautiful of proto-drakes (even with the ironbound one). Good luck hunters out there.

can someone confirm/deny if this macro really shows if someone looted the Proto Drake after maintenance or realm reset?:
/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");
Because today i failed login when the realm started but i was told by guild mates that i miss it for like 40mins and when i did the macro i could retrieve the item info and read it was the TLPD and i didnt found any body around.
Somehow i hoped the macro would work so i could control his drop after every maintenance/restart and stop farming when i could retrieve info and start on next week, its been 6days now without seen her dead or alive. im camping about 16 to 18 hours per day sitting most of the time in Bor's Breath but every now and then i fly around her paths.
I found Vyragosa alot of times (i dont call it rare anymore :p), never spawned in less then 8hours i found a few not many Skoll's and only 1 Dirkee on the last 6 days, but i never check his spawn point near "Camp Tunkalo" and rarely check for him in "Terrace of the Markers"..

Just got this about an hour and a half ago on Draenor-US. Flying around while waiting for my queue to pop, NPC Scan started going off. I frantically looked around, hoping I hadn't found a dead drake. I flew through Bor's Breath north-west and caught up with it. To start off the fight, I flew in front of its nose and landed. 19k health dropped quickly, and I was able to claim this with nary a scratch on me. I spammed in /1 that I'd found and killed it, but nobody responded. A few moments later, someone wandered by while I was taking screen shots. I'll bet he was upset.

Saw this on my server once, I was camping storm peaks near foot steppes for hours. I log out, and 1 sec before I log out it flies directly beneath me, I don't have chance to stop the logout process so I logged straight back in, and about 100 meters ahead the Time Lost was dead on the floor with aliance over it :'( I swear I have the worst luck.

This comes from a fellow with no luck. Hi, I am a lvl 80 paladin that has camped for 5 days in the harsh lands of Storm Peaks in search for the Time-Lost Proto-Drake. I was camping the area and after 2 days of camping there I decided to go to Dal for a little to take a break, 10 mins later I decided to go back to my search. To my surprise , NPCScan popped up and said the Time-Lost is near!. I was about to have a heart attack. But with all good short stories and great luck, theres a cache. He... was dead. I felt terrible, like I was wasting my time. But then I decided to not move from this spot (over the Engine of the Makers) until I saw a live TLPD and owned one for myself. 3 days go by, it is 7:45 pm server time, and I decided to go to the Bor's Breath camping spot where 3 of his paths intersected. Got bored after 1 minute, (lol) so I decided to pick up my auctions from the last time I left to Dal. The way to K3 was in one of his flight paths anyway, I wouldn't be losing any chance of finding him. So I take the route that goes above the water and ends going off a huge frozen waterfall. Then, NPCScan goes off. My heart beats faster and faster every second. I look at the icon and it says the Time-Lost Proto-Drake! But before I can be certain, I must click it. I click it, and my heart has a mini heart attack while my mouth hangs wide open. He's alive, and he has just came from K3 up and over the Waterfall. I will never forget this moment. It's truley amazing. I wish luck to all who truley want this mount. NEVER GIVE UP. I read wowhead all the time and there are many people who have some crazy stories that seem fake and impossible, but there not, I now know what it's like. Just for some info, I killed him just uptop of the BIG waterfall at Bor's Breath at about 7:48 server time. GL TO ALL!

I logged on this morning, was chatting with another guildie when suddenly came head-to-head with the drake...i was dazed...never expected to see it just 2min after i logged on...aggroed it and dragged it to the ground --> killed --> got the drake... :D
tbh I never bothered to look for it, but apparently it looks like that the drake was looking for ME...
Edit: Considering the fact that many people had lost days and even months of time camping, this mount is indeed, a TIME-LOST proto-drake...

Nathrezim-US server, 6:04pm EST.
Was doing my JC daily and just on a lucky feeling decided to investigate more into TLPD.. came to this page, read up on some of the different routes and spawn times. I decided to fly around the Alliance camp route and go through Bor's Fall. I zoomed all the way out and just kept going and looking around and then.. all of the sudden.. right below me.. there he was. I brought him down to the ground and basically had a seizure on my keyboard.
I've never camped him before and this was just on a feeling; I'm extremely lucky.

The posts here ARE about the mount and how to get it, whether it be about spawn times, sightings etc. It's all relevant.
If you don't like it, you don't have to create a useless post about it.

Finally, after months of camping, the mount is mine.
Laughing Skull eu = 17:03 (server time) TLPD killed at the bors breath cross between frost hold and the alter of storms, just by chance i was flying up to do my dailies for the stupid polar bear and NPC scanner went off.
I kid you not i nearly had a heart attack, body pulled, tried drinking a lager, but instead drank a potion of wild magic fell and died, res'd with just over 4k hp, body pulled him, drank a healthpot, deathcoil, and nuked him. He hits for about 1k nature damage and is easily killed once you are setup.
My new pretty drake.

I'm not sure if this is of any value, but I found it to be quite strange. About 5 minutes ago, I just killed Vyragosa. Not too weird -- right? Well..., my friend killed her about 50 minutes before I did. I also killed Dirkee about 30 minutes before I killed Vyragosa myself. So, within 49 minutes (to be specific), my friend killed Vyragosa, I then killed Dirkee, and then
I
killed Vyragosa.
I found her, and killed her at around 30.7, 49.2, and as did my friend.

I have been camping the TLPD for about... 3 months. I have seen it dead twice (once barely missed it and was not happy about it at all), at the very least I have killed every other rare in SP. I am camping in Bor's Breath between ice lake and the terrace of the makers. I have learned my lesson on moving around from missing vyragosa multiple times in Bor's Breath now. camping in the same place seems to be more sucessful for me. I have kept a log of kills of other rare's though.
Vyragosa- April 3rd 11:15 PM (Not my kill, dead at Bor's Breath)
Vyragosa- April 11th 12:30 AM (Not my kill, found dead on the iced over waterfall.)
Vyragosa- April 16th 10:40 AM (My kill, Bor's Breath.)
Vyragosa- April 16th 3:55 PM (Not my kill, just went over waterfall as a hunter tagged it.)
Vyragosa- April 27th 8:25 PM (Not my kill, found dead a Bor's Breath.)
Vyragosa- May 6th 8:15 PM (My kill, Bor's Breath)
Vyragosa- May 8th 11:30 AM (Not my kill, friend distracted me and I lost it >.>)
Vyragosa- May 9th 1:41 AM (My kill Bor's)
TLPD- May 9th 8:12 PM (Friend reported it dead, I was raiding >.>)
Vyragosa- May 15th 5:20 PM (Corpse spotted at falls)
Vyragosa- May 16th 6:08 AM (My kill in Bor's)
Vyragosa- May 16th 2:45 PM (My kill Bor's)
Vyragosa- May 18th 5:30 PM (Bor's kill again)
TLPD- May 19th 6:00 PM (Watched it die, spawned right at as I decided to do the dishes and the TV was too load to hear addon go off, Yea I was super !@#$ed.)
Vyragosa- May 21st 11:40 PM (Bor's kill)
Vyragosa- May 24th 4:15 PM (Bor's kill)
Vyragosa- May 27th 6:30 PM (Bor's kill)
Vyragosa- May 29th 9:49 AM (Bor's Breath)
TLPD!- May 29th 4:20 (Spawned at uld I believe patted around from valkiron (North of Bor's)
FINALLY got the kill, after killing Vyra at 9:49 I knew exactly when the minimum re-spawn time could possibly be. Was super suprised at the small amount of time it took for it too re-spawn, cool mount, worth the time. Note: I did over 100 hours of camping with more than one character acassionally, expect to work for this mount.

have updated a ton of information on there since last i posted that in this thread. Still think there's another spawn spot I'm not aware of besides the 2 on the mountain frost hold is on, brunnhildar and east end of the ulduar ravine......
either that or sometimes it really just doesn't spawn for 12-14 hours (vyra or tlpd)
and for those who don't go and see the data, yes, to back people up, tlpd can in fact spawn pretty close to the last time it spawned. time wise. i observed it spawning twice in just about a 2 day span.

Thought I would share some kill times for you all.
Last night Darrowmere US server at 12:32 am I was just checking on my mage when addon went off over the Engine of the makers. My mage is an alt so I didnt want the drake for that toon. Quickly logged out onto my hunter hoping no one else found it and when I got on I couldnt find the damn thing! After much cursing and calling myself an idiot I eventually found it again at 35,39 and got the kill.
Anyway today I logged onto my Pally which was left at the Engine of the Makers and addon went off again but the drake was dead just south of the Engine. This was at approximately 6:50 PM.
So 2 spawns in less than 24 hours, one of em mine. Wonder how long it will take to get one for 5 x 80's lol .
Happy hunting :)
edit: I should add that I spent about 1 month at around 4-8 hours most days patrolling known routes. However my kill was just a random as I had long since given up on camping. That stuff will send you crazy. Kudos to those that are already crazy and dont mind the boredom :).

So im on Skywall - PvE (US) and I just got home from work then i log on to camp for the TLPD. Well as soon as i got on friggin NPCscan goes crazy and vyragosa is right on top of me... *sigh*. Well after reading a lot of these comments i figured i'd stay up 6 hrs to see what spawns next in line. So, Im sittin there watchin the secreen, talkin to some friends.. eventually they all go offline and im bored for a while. Well, after a while of bein bored I fall asleep lol. and i woke up 5 hrs and 55 minutes after i had killed the last Vyragosa. At first i was like, "I'm goin back to sleep" then i looked at the time hehe =). So i figured something woke me up at this time for a reason. So i log back in cause i got logged out for bein afk so long, and wait exactly 5 mins and there TLPD is. Spawned right over the frozen lake area by Valk and Frosthold. EXACTLY down to the T, 6 hrs after i killed Vyragosa in the same exact place. This is one of the best mounts in the game, imo. Took me 9 days of campin for 7 hrs a day. It finally payed off, i know you can do it! =D GL to you all.

OKAY
So after months of camping on my server (US Laughing Skull), I finally downed him.
My method was simple. I had my toon camped at Bor's Breath, right above the frozen lake, and my girlfriend's toon (who already got the TLPD during her quest for Skoll) sitting at the Engine of the Makers whenever either of us weren't using our accounts.
It was 9:56 AM when the NPC Scanner went off. ( 8:56 AM Server time.)
I was sort of dozing when it went off, and he was just emerging from the mountain in Bor's Breath. I jumped up instantly and saw him slowly coming toward me.
I flew into him and gained aggro, then pulled him to the little platform on the mountain. They fight wasn't hard but he did stun me.
A few screenshots (resized):
TLPD Downed!:

The camping party:
http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/9686/wowscrnshot051710095650.jpg
Spawn location EXACTLY where I'm at on the mountain, just above the corpse:
http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/8553/wowscrnshot051710100111.jpg
Note: I killed Vyragosa 23 hours prior to the TLPD kill. It was 11:04 AM local time and Vyragosa emerged EXACTLY where TLPD did. The absolutely share spawn locations, timers, etc.
My advice is to keep a log of the times you see Vyragosa. I believe the spawn times can be anywhere from 6-24 hours. So exactly 6 hours after a Vyragosa kill, I got on and camped. I never went more than 24 hours without a Vyragosa kill.
It's worth the wait. I was shaking so bad as I was downing him. Now I'm never going back to Storm Peaks. Ever.
Everyone good luck, and enjoy the hunt!

Yeah, so I'm going to start the hunt again because it is summer and I have nothing else to do.
My last efforts were about 5 months, seeing it dead twice. Over 500-600 hours I'd say.
Lets hope I get lucky this time.

I do have a question for those who have seen the TLPD mutilple times.
Have you ever seen it on the same spawn path consecutively? Like if someone reported it on one path should I stay at my post or move to a different spot? Input is welcomed!

Vizza
Ahh, I've been camping this guy for the past couple weeks now at the end of Bor's Breath (the frozen lake end). For those of you familiar with this spot, do you suggest a certain place to sit? I've been perched on a tree and am terrified I'll be an inch or two too far away for my NPC Scan to pick this elusive dragon up.

Xanthylos
I sit usually in the front half of the lake, and nearly as high as the thing in the wall as you face East.
This is my main spot as well, and I have seen Vyragosa spawn on the Frosthold hill
atleast
15 times. It really frustrates me too because it seems as an awesome spot and I've had a lot of luck with it, but Time Lost never spawns instead of Vyra >.<

UPDATE! It's 8:58AM Shattered Hand. Killed near the top of Bor's Fall. Had my fiancee's mage posted there and barely noticed the warning since I was watching streaming video lol. Best thing you can do is keep at it! 2 days with 4 hours of sleep total will possibly get it for you!

May 31, 2010 @ 3:30am-ish server time, Stormrage Server
Was on my Shaman questing to level her up (lvl 79) and as I left heading to Nidavelir to do some kill some guys for the quest I see a Proto-Drake flying south towards Valkyrion almost about a small distance from the ground. I click on the drake and freak out trying to get to her before anyone else. I figured instead of body pulling the drake, because I knew there were others farming the drake out there also, I cast Flame Shock on her falling and hitting the ground with 75% health left.
When I tried casting Lesser Healing Wave, she would interrupt it. I tried again and same thing happened so I dropped my Healing Totem and went to town on her, downing her.

Got it!
After a weekish of half looking for it while I queued for randoms, I ran in to Vyragosa late one night when I probably should've been sleeping. Kept a log of what happened during my search, until I found it about 15min ago on my server (Altar of Storms, around 4:20am server time, May 31st)
Vyragosa, seen ~0509 Sun May 30
Vyragosa, killed ~0522 Sun May 30
No sightings (Alive or Dead) 1124 Sun March 30
12hrs later, no news 1723 Sun March 30
Camping for 12hrs, no sign, 2313 Sun March 30
FOUND! 0421 May 31st
Was just about to give up when NPCscanner flipped out. He was heading along Bor's Breath, from KT to Valkyrion. I was camped about halfway along Bor's Breath right above the broken bridge near Temple of Storms.
Friendly advise to keep you from going crazy while camping: get NPCscanner, mute WoW but set the scanner to alert if muted, watch ninjavideo.net and check back every so often to shake off AFK. I'm one of the luckier ones, there was another guy who had been camping (he wasn't on when I found TLPD) who claimed to have spent /played 9 days looking for it. I was about to lose my damn mind from just 17 hrs...

I have been camping Bor's Breath going on 7 days now and patroling the most common paths Vyragosa and TLD take. I have encountered at least 3-4 bots, 2 bots that are continually in my area that I reported 6 days ago, yet they are still here farming away. I know these 2 are bots because they are consistently farming in the exact flight pattern I followed them quite a few times, nothing changes. This right here is very discouraging

I just got my Time Lost Proto Drake today around 9 am (Vek'nilash EU). It was pure LUCK since it was my first time camping for it and it didn't even take me 10 minutes...XD I just left my toon hovering around Bor's Breath (cords were something like this: 34.65) went to the bathroom and heard NPC Scan, run into the room expecting to see Vyragosa but it was TLPD............got really stressed....... then aggroed, killed, looted and sat there in disbelief how freakin' lucky I actually was.
What can I say about TLPD from this encounter
1. He's an easy kill (I'm lvl 77 Death Knight) with as much as 18k HP
2. Flies really LOW around Bor's Breath, when I spotted him he was just above the ground.
3. When you aggro him he flies down extremely SLOW so don't think he's not following you !
4. NPC Scan AND NPC Scan Overlay (it shows you the path of ALL rare spawn elites in Northrend and Outland) is a MUST !
5. He really IS out there....don't give up !
6. In the end...luck is what you need the most XD
Good luck to you all !

After months (perhaps years) I have finally chased down and killed the TLPD. I literally was just about to go out to lunch and BLAM npcscan goes ape*!@#,. I of course assume it is Vyragosa coming around for me to kill for the 50th time and what do you know, its him. I will add this bit of information, he was not traveling at a slow pace. He was booking it at a pretty solid pace and if it wasnt for me reacting quickly, I would of had to drag him quite a ways just to battle him.
Keep searching folks, this mount is well worth the wait :)
Killed on Thunderlord US server at around 133p server time near Bor's Breath

Edit:Today after 16 days of camping,I was lucky enough to find it and kill it! =) I was watching Ghostbusters 1 (Bill Murray is god!),while I had my character camped Bor's Breath at 5:25 am Server time.Suddenly NPCScan went off and I saw it coming from the frozen river behind me.I dismount in the air,Fire Blast him and use slow fall.Then dps'd him and looted :)
I'm so happy about it.Keep camping it and you'll get it :) Good luck to everyone!

You all might hate me, but this was one of those mounts I wanted more than anything to add to my collection but never went out to actively find. One of the ones I never thought I'd get.
I was doing my dailly quest in Brunnhildar Village and right as I'm done, no joke, completely by accident I see the dragon flying over head. No way! I quickly flew towards it to gain aggro then went over to one of the cliffs to tag it. It dropped the reins, a satchel and some blue neck piece.
So there I got my grail completely by accident :) I have a screenshot of the loot report but none of the actual kill, I didn't think of it. I just came here to report that it was flying over Brunnhildar Village, on the Dark Iron server if that helps. I think he was going northwest. It wasn't up high in the air at all... compared to the village. Compared to the ground it was very high.

Found it at 9:35 realm time. Comming from Dalaran into Bor's Breath.
TIP: Get a optical mouse, use a mirror under it till the cursor moves randomly. Then take something heavy and put it over right click to make your char look in random directions. This will make your char not get logged out if you go afk. The leave sound to maximum, disable music and enviorment, go to sleep.
If TLPD comes around your speakers will go nuts. This is what i've been using to get it.

Today I was playing around on the ptr while I was camping TLPD, I found vyragosa on the ptr and I followed her around the orange path. She has done the complete path 15+ times without despawning, is it possible this happens on live servers as well?
I know the majority have people say tldp will despawn after a certain period of time, but I'm assuming noone has seen it happen. How do we know this for sure?
I also saw a youtube video on a UE server where she teleports, its not a far distance but she does disappear and you lose target for about 5 seconds.

If your class or profession does not have a slowfall ability, I suggest you buy some Snowfall Lagers. It is sold by an NPC (Olut Alegut for the Horde and Rork Sharpchin for the Alliance) for 2 Relics of Ulduar. There is a pre-requisite quest where you have to turn in 10 Relics of Ulduar (and you can receive 2 Snowfall Lagers as reward).
TLPD can 1 shot you off your flying mount and if you're high up in the air (which is where it tends to be very often), you'll die and could miss an opportunity to nab this mount.

I have been on this guy for about 2 weeks...
Drove my guild and son nuts as I flew around storm peaks whining about TLPD!
2 days ago i decided the obsession had to stop as I was getting nothing accomplished, yesterday I avoided storm peaks altogether. It was hard as i covet this rare and his mount :P
This morning I decide to do son of hodir dailies, just as the green drake i had to bash as a daily booted me off his back I happened to click on Vyragosa, I quickly downed her, although she was a little touchy to aggro at first... and renewed my obsession.
Between randoms and my son playing I decided to look for TLPD, he is my nemesis and I want him. After reading the many posts here, and printing maps etc. I figured I better play it safe in case they do spawn shortly after one another...Sure enough just a I am about to log for the night, a brown thing catches the corner of my screen...and
VICTORY IS MINE!
I bagged them both at the same spot on the same day, almost 12 hours apart to the minute ~eerie~

One thing I need to say:
you see it from miles away.
I was
camping the spawn point
overlooking the frozen river 100%. Vyragosa spawned on me once.
I was about to give up framing and told myself "Tomorrow, I stop camping, im bored" and 5 hours later, there it is, coming from the spawn point at the waterfall he made his way to where I was camping at 4:40pm (Cenarion Circle time).
Silverdragon did not even started screaming at me that I was already on my way. I flew as fast as my Red proto drake allowed me and there it is, in range of my Heroic Throw. I hailed to hit my Snowfal Lager and almost died from fall damage. When i tagged him I spotted a Belf nearby.
If I die, I lose it. I killed it
(My belf friend /bow and /grats me) and still couldnt believe it, I link the mount in Gchat and my guild started gratsin' me. My friend and my boyfriend that were in the same room told me that they were my lucky charms and i did approve. :)
I got it within the first 50h of camping and I can say that I was super lucky to get it so fast.

Got him on the Shadowsong server at about 8:50pm server time after about a week of camping, logged off only to sleep. I was afk playing my 360 when my npc scan went off. I jumped up figuring it was Vyragosa again when I saw him flying right at me. I was sitting at Bor's Breath and he was heading towards valkyrion at a moderate pace. I had made a macro that dismounted me, cast my taunt and then hit my snowfall lager so I flew into him to aggro and then hit the macro. The kill was easy.

Hello.
I am wondering if it matters if I have my pvp gear on or not(more stamina)? Since so many have posted how nervous there were when they finally got to meet the TLPD and forgot to use Snowfall, I was thinking that maybe I should use more pvp for more stamina, to lower the risk that I die in case I fall too.
If it is a set % of your hp it doesn't matter if I have more stamina tho, as 100% is 100%. Anyone know how fall damage works?
Thanks.

I downloaded NPC scan, turned the corner only to find the TLPD flying at me. Took him to the ground, consecrate and judged him all the way down as i held my mouse on bubble if something were to happen to me :-).
The funny thing is my brother was just there looking no less than 5 minutes earlier.

Just got mine 10 min ago. Very stupid and lucky on how I got him. I was out farming earlier today and logged off. Got back on 10 min ago and he was right above me. One quick DG and he was mine. Was found on his FP going through Engine of the makers. Was pure luck, I never really spent more than 2 hours out here looking for him. &*!@ed off a buddy in my guild after he spent 4 solid days out here but what can ya do. GL to the rest of you guys.

I obsessively farmed him for over a year. This is the most beautiful mount in the game. I I finally got him recently, now I'm helping my friends get him, I kept a log from the first time I saw him, until now. I will update this every so often with new information, here is my log.
Time-Lost hunting.
Time-Lost Alive on Monday 6/14 at 8 PM. Spawned near Frosthold mountain.
Vyragosa Alive Wednesday 6/16 at 3:30 AM, killed 3:45. Frosthold flight path. Followed it for about 15 minutes around Frosthold before I killed her.
Saw Vyragosa dead 6/16 at 12:36 PM Killer claimed to have killed it 2 hrs prior. Claimed it was flying the Brunnhildar Village Flight path.
Saw Time-Lost alive 2 AM, 6/17 someone else killed it at 2:01 Bor's Breath
Saw Vyragosa alive at 7:55 June 19th , flying northwest from Bor's Breath, killed at 7:58.
Vyragosa spawned on top of the frozen lake June 20th at 12:37 AM, killed immediately by Nickle.
Vyragosa was killed sometime around 10:30 PM June 20th, as told by EB.
Vyragosa found dead at 9:00 PM June 21st at Bor's Breath
Time-Lost Proto-Drake Found dead Brunnhildar Village at 8:59 AM 6/23
AT LONG LAST I KILLED THE TIME-LOST PROTO-DRAKE at 6:40 on June 23rd, flying into Bor's Breath pretty low, and got this beautiful mount.
Vyragosa found dead Bor's Breath June 6/25 at 2:45 PM
Time-Lost Proto-Drake Found dead Bor's Breath at 4:30 PM

I've killed Vyra twice already today...
Once at 9:10 AM, she spawned off of Frosthold
and just now at 4:15 PM she spawned off of the mountain above the giant frozen waterfall.
I've had enough of killing Vyra already, just let me get my drake!

Here's a few little tips I've picked up.
1. Use the Sound in Background option. It'll save you a bit of grief when you need to AFK or alt tab while camping
2.If you have one, use a Nether Ray mount, flying carpet, or even a flying machine. They don't have wings, so they make a different sound as they fly, letting you hear the drake a little better.
3. Use NPC Scan. It is a godsend.
4. If you're on a PvP server, try and find a way to make yourself untrackable. Enemy campers can be a bit vindictive, and this is just one way to help stop some Elf hunter in full PvP gear from blasting your brains out because he wants his camping spot all to himself.

Hey all! Just started lookin' for this bad boy ^_^
After lookin' for an hour, I finally settled down to a well known place for sightings.
I'd just like to share the macro I use, since it has worked wonders in the past!
/tar Dirke
/tar Time
/tar Vyra
/script local t=UnitName("target"); if (t == null) then t=date("%S") else PlaySound("RaidWarning") end; DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(t)
Lemme explain what it does. If Dirke, the Time-Lost Proto-Drake or the Vyra-wotsit is nearby (AKA not yards but depending on how far you can see mobs), this little douzy of a macro will:
1. Target the creature.
2. Produce a LOUD raid warning sound.
3. Alert you to the creature's presence in the chat bar.
If you click it, but it's not nearby, a number will appear at the bottom to show how many seconds have past... I just use that for myself so you COULD ignore it ^_^

Killed him at 11 pm server on Nathrezim, though I can confirm that it may be a smaller window than 6 hours after the death of vyra or tlpd since I witnessed vyra getting killed at 750pm server

Just dropped my SECOND TLP on Darkspear this morning (on a different toon than my first TLP).
Once again, like the first TLP, I got it while simply taking care of daily business.
If you want this mount, use Silver Dragon or NPC scan.

Hmm. Haven't found the drake yet, but I did find vyragosa twice. The second time I almost had a heart attack, wasn't expecting her at all.
6/28/2010 Vyragosa 5:08pm Logged in right above the corpse. Bor's Breath.
7/2/2010 Vyragosa 6:06pm Found another corpse during a "maybe it's over here" run. Engine of the makers.
Hopefully, when/if I do find the drake, I'm not hovering helplessly above a corpse.

Been camping the last day or so but would really love an answer to a quick question.
The people who are going to sleep and camping afk, how are they doing it without getting logged out? Would really love any help with this as it's going to be a lot of camping time I can get in.

I killed mine last week, and was using that addon for 3 weeks before that. Is it a risk? Probably yeah, but you'd have to get reported so as long as you don't advertise it yeah. And its not doing anything against game mechanics I guess, it just auto cancels the 20 seconds to logout when you afk too long.

With _npcscan, does it cache the TLPD if it finds the corpse, so do you have to clear your cache every time you see the corpse? I hope not. Anybody know for sure?

I was camping this mob for about 15 minutes when I got thirsty. I had set out a good camping spot and set my speakers loud. I went downstairs to grab a glass of milk, when I heard the alarm horns of NPCscan, warning me a mob was found!
I hurried upstairs, and yes, there it was: Time-Lost Proto Drake.
Just as I tried to approach and kill him, he was dead, and a mage was standing next to him, mounting and dismounting continueously on his new protodrake. I ganked him for an hour :D
Anywho, prepare for a lot of failures and pain in the ass before getting this magnificent mount! :(

Vyra has been killed twice by me in the same place - hovering just over the gates of Valkyrion.
The speed she moves at is exceptionally slow. If we could figure out the exact spawn areas, that's probably all you'd need because even if you do a complete sweep of the spawn spots it's unlikely she'll move more than 200 yards away. When she spawns, she hovers for a minute or so before moving.
There's been a few kills on the servers I'm on - reports state Valkyrion is the most common, Engine of the Makers on the lower part of the circle is the second and once over Brunnhildar.

This mount dropped for me last night. I had been flying the known flight paths several times daily (NPC Scan) for TLPD for about 2-3 months with no luck; I never even saw it's corpse. Last night at 3 a.m. exactly, as I was flying over to kill some mammoths for the JC daily, I flew up the Bors Breath frozen waterfall (I had originally decided to fly straight to the mammoths as I had given up on TLPD) and decided at the last second to check the major intersections of TLPD flight path south of Engine of the Makers. As I flew up over the top of the ridge south of EoM, my NPC Scan nearly blew my ears off; there he was flying like a dopey moth. I didn't waste any time, 10 seconds or so later, I had a new mount. FYI, yes, clear your cache before every log in if you use NPC Scan and fly those flight paths, you'll find him when you least expect it. Good Luck.

FINALLY! after god know how many hours of camping (7 hours on this particular night) and having him killed right in front of me during a 2 minute AFK, hes mine at 3PM server time on Dentarg. Spawned right before my very eyes in bor's breath where theres a tiny fall in front of valkyron. He took off flying towards engine of the makers immediately and i pursued. I used parachute cloak, hit him with an icy touch, and kicked his ass in 2 seconds. Just to show how camped he is at 3PM, in the time it took me to aggro and kill him, 2 horde spectators were watching me get my new mount cursing themselves, "F%&$ ME! Why was i gathering herbs and not sitting here! WHY!". To add some humor, i was visiting my parents on this particular night, and was on their laptop and the keyboard is broke(we got a seperate keyboard plugged in the side USB). When he popped i started trying to use laptop keyboard in a panic and i wasnt moving (way sleep-deprived at this point)...i was yelling "NOOOO! WHAT IS GOING ON!"...then i remembered in about 5 seconds and almost ripped the sucker out. It's hard to have awesome common sense when adrenaline is pumping and your brain is numb from hours of camping haha. GL fellow time-lost hunters!

Killed today at 4AM server time on Azjol-Nerub.
Can confirm that he IS hostile, not neutral.
He flies a little higher than 65 ft so if you fall you WILL die. I'm assuming also as he flies this high he's not able to be attacked by much else other than the drakes in the field IF they do target him but I do not believe they do. Otherwise he'd never make it through there.
He doesn't fly very fast compared to a swift flyer, about the same speed as the blue proto's over the engine.
He ISN'T affected by phasing.
When I say he isn't affected by it, what I mean is, both the warrior and I could see him, BUT, not each other. When the pair of us moved away from the area we could see each other again being no longer phased..probably due to the valkyrion quests. -.-
I've had this questing with a friend in Icecrown before as well. We cannot see each other but can see the mobs, and when they are being attacked and assist by killing the target, so they are attacking an invisible player essentially. I.e the target player is phased but the creature is not, unlike most of the mobs in Storm Peaks? I mean, you attack a rhino, you're not likely to get an invisible player suddenly slaughter it, it shifts into your phase...right? I'm not certain.
Anyway.
I've seen him twice before now and I can easily confirm that the little fall on the frozen lake next to Valkyrion is a spawn point - I ran off to get reagents and came back 5 mins later on main and lost the race to him as he spawned to a DK. - Also seen a corpse on the lake several yards from the spawn point as well.
The other spawn point is over the field with the blue drakes near the engine, I watched a druid pick him off pretty easy and claim the mount too :)
I logged in on my hunter and started patting around the side of Temple of Storms, just up from Bor's Breath, searching for Skoll for a nice easy tame and boy was I surprised after my several months on and off camping this guy to see him patting nice n slow right at me :)
Landed and easily pulled him a little before the frozen lake in front of Valkyrion.
I didn't know at the time but an Orc Warrior had been tailing him trying to find a place to get him to ground and because we were both phased, neither saw each other. I'd have happily backed off had I known and still feel a bit like a kill stealer for tagging him tbh.
The other guy was pleasant enough though and no hard feelings between us over it :)
He had been patting up over the terrace apparently and then around the side of the temple towards the val'kyr place, Valkyrion.
Two screenies taken, one of kill, one of map location. Hope they are clear enough.
Good luck to the folks still waiting to catch theirs!

Just got him after about three days of camping and keeping an eye on him. I was right beside the broken platform in Bor's Breath between it and the frozen waterfall. I heard it when I was texting my gf in the other room x) I rushed to find it wasnt there, so i searched all over the map and found him.
Finally, after tracking him down and almost forgetting to buble *cough* hese mine, Beautifull mount. Its worth making my Special Someone mad x)

I've been TLPD camping around 250 hours now, at Bor's Breath mainly. Seen him three times now, but just lost out on him each time.
Anyway, my last Vyra sightings that npcscan has picked up, she has been miles away from BB - up by Ulduar. I've not had this before - it normally alerts me when they're close not a great distance away. For these two though, I am hovering a lot higher than I used to - do you think it's possible Vyra is getting loaded into my cache as there's less land between us? when i used to hover over the lake, this never happened. To be honest, I'd sooner the scanner not go off than me try to find it and it be miles away.

After literally years of waiting, I log in this morning to see the NPC right in front of me! I get agro and got to the ground, but its STAYING OUT OF MY RANGE. Exorcism for a pally is range 30, BUT I CANT HIT I! About 20 secs go by of me backing up to get to higher ground and another player comes by and kills. Result = me getting nothing.
Besides myself right now...

I have successfully farmed this mount twice now. First I did it on my character, then my wife's. I camped directly over the frozen lake over Bor's Breath 24 hours a day.
For me it took 8 days until I saw him spawn. Moonfire + Snowfall Lager = win. My wife's character saw a spawn after 2 weeks of camping but someone beat her to it. Eight days later another spawn, Flame Shock + Snowfall Lager = win.
In both kills, the TLPD was flying towards me heading east to west with the Temple of Storms on his right.
If you camp this mob for anything less than 24 hours a day, it could take months until you see a spawn. But if you camp 24/7 I'm guessing the average wait is around 2 weeks. Best of luck to all. And most importantly, be prepared when you do see him.

Well, after 294 hours of camping, over a period of nine months, I have just nabbed the legendary drake myself at 1:11am. I am shaking as I type this - didn't think this day would ever come.
I'm married, with kids, work full time, so my play time is limited somewhat. I read up last year after hearing about him and, being intrigued, I decided to camp at Bor's Breath. That is where I'd say I was positioned 95% of the time, with just the odd journey around his known routes.
When I did kill him, I was at Bor's Breath, and he was approaching me from Valkyrion when the scanner went off. I kept a log of all my camping times and kills. All kills were made by me unless it says otherwise. I put a rough camping time in () so I could quickly add it up. My hunt began in October of last year:

As you can see, I did have breaks from camping him for a few weeks here and there. There were times I never thought I'd get him, especially after getting narrowly beaten to him twice. But to all you fellow Time-Lost hunters out there, do not give up. I strongly believe he will find you when he thinks you're ready for him.

Got mine this A.M. on the Dalaran Realm. Was doing Argent Champion Dailies, "Gormok wants his Snobolds" and "Overstock" from Ricket in K3 when NPCScan announces TLPDs arrival. This would be on the Yellow Route of the map, exact coordinates are 43.13 and 81.83. I had to fly up a little bit to attack him but he followed me down.
Was very random, though when in Storm Peaks I would look for him.
I have over 100 Skadi Kills from Heroic Utgarde Pinnacle and have never even see the Blue Proto Drake drop.
Good luck eveyrone.

It seems everyone is getting theres around the same time? Coincidence maybe? 1 Am, 4 AM 3PM. What I've seen the most of.

I can 100% confirm that Vyra is attacked by other mobs in the zone
She was flying towards my location at Boar's Breath when she was attacked by a harpy, casting at it. I was still able to tag and kill her of course.
I'm not sure if this is the same for TLPD but I've read that GM's have lead people to believe that other mobs are hostile towards him.

I bagged myself one of these beautys tonight 11:11pm ST on Frostmourne
My story begins when I first learnt of this majestic creature about a year ago, when I had my fist 80. After learning of this I went searching but for only 30 minutes or so and gave up with boredom.
Since then I have made a new main who I will play for a long time to come, a few nights ago on Saturday the 24th of July, I decided to go for this mount. I already had NPC_scan and I bought myself the snowfall drinks from k3. It was already late in the night so I logged off after 3 hours.
I logged back on and did my polar bear mount daily then returned to my camping spot to find a horde with the TLPD, I was hoping he did not just kill it in the brief 5 minutes I was gone. I logged on to my horde character and messaged him. He said he got the mount at 2am ST that morning, which was approximately 15 minutes after I had logged off! I was a bit disappointed but it didn't bother me too much as I only just started and was prepared to wait a LONG time for it to finally be mine.
From 1pm to 12am I camped Boar's breath whilst doing other things and when my hope for the day had faded, Vyragosa is coming towards me from east to west of Boar's Breath, which is my post above. I decided to hang around till 12 midnight just as I was still doing things.
Today, Monday the 26th July I went to school and came home at around 4:15pm, logged on, did my daily and began to camp. I spent the night doing homework and amusing myself whilst checking on my guy making sure he didn't go AFK. I was fully aware of all there is to know about the TLPD and was hoping I got either a spawn of Vyra or TLPD at either 5:11pm or 11:11pm (18 and 24 hours after I killed Vyra, I would've camped at 6 and 12 but was either asleep or at school), nothing happened all night and once it reached around 10pm I started to see a lot more people around and was getting worried. At around 11pm I sparked up a conversation with a nice fellow camper and were just talking and I saw him occasionally pass me and I remained mostly still at my camp site above the frozen lake at Boar's Breath. Sitting at the site, fully alerted as I was watching the clock and at 11:10 was hoping to see a spawn, nothing then I started to move towards valkyrion and BOOM off goes my NPC SCAN I look down I see TLPD! I'm like OMFG! and then I look up and he has spawned no more than 30 yards in front of me! I stay cool, move towards him which seemed to take forever, taunt him and I slow fall to the ground, he moves towards me and I slaughter him within seconds just as my fellow camper messages me "TLPD is up" my reply "I GOT IT!"
So in total after 3 days of camping and 20 hours worth of work I got my glorious mount, I consider myself very lucky, usually I'm very unlucky with mounts.
As you may have noticed my Vyra kill and my TLPD kill is EXACTLY, to the minute, 24 hours apart, I'm quite certain that Vyra had not been down at all between those times and therefore I believe that the longer time between spawns the greater the chance it will be TLPD. Thank you to everyone here for posting such wonderful information and helpful hints =D

So.....I've been camping this thing since December of last year. It's now July. That's 7 months. At times I've camped pretty hardcore. 13 hours a day nonstop for several days on end. Only ever saw the thing twice. Once it was dead right under my camping spot as I logged on and once flying right at me while I was on the phone and someone else got the tag.
I'd camped at Bor's Breath several days this week for several hours at a time with nothing but a Vyra corpse sighting. Then last night it happened.
I logged on. My hearth is at Frost Hold as any good Alliance TLPD-camper's would be. I queued up for my daily random dungeon and mounted my drake to fly a lap around the Storm Peaks while I waited in queue. As soon as I got down over the middle of Bor's Breath - my usual camping spot, NPCscan went off.
I expected it to be Vyra but it said Time-Lost.
I expected it to be a corpse as I'd **just** logged on. I clicked the NPCscan alert and saw that the TLPD's unit frame had full health. Pulse quickened.
He wasn't in front of me where I'd seen him in the past - coming up over the frozen water fall. So I spun around and headed toward Valkyrion. There he was...flying right towards me. Nobody else chasing him. I was shocked.
So I flew right up to him, hit Killing Spree and he was dead before I even got to my Snowfall Lager. Of course I immediately ran through the house punching at the air and freaking out. Then I sat back down and looted him and took this screen shot:
http://www.steveandlee.com/galleries/time-lost-nabbed.jpg
I was so lucky. If I had decided to log on a couple seconds earlier I would have missed him as I started my patrol flying away from him in the same direction. I would have never caught up to him before someone else spotted him.
Moral of the story, as I've heard it said before: Don't waste your time camping for this beast. I literally have spent hundreds of hours camping for him with nothing to show for it. The one time I got him I wasn't camping at all. Completely random happenstance.
If you want this sucker, just fly around Storm Peaks every now and then as often as possible. You'll keep your sanity and, eventually, you'll get him.
Now if I could only get that damn egg to hatch more than a Tickbird.

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.

Me and a bud teamed up and went all out. We camped full time 24/7, and took turns sleeping. I'm between jobs right now, so I had the time. Between the two of us, we barely missed a spawn, but we did miss some, which had to have been mostly from north or east. My primary spot was the south spot, watching east (Brun). Friend's was west, while watching for north. When he wasn't on, I would stay at west & south while trying to pat the others every 30 as much as possible, and vise versa.

Most of the times are right on, some estimated.
Biggest help was the video from those german dudes. (spawn point proof) There are 4 spots.
The 5th spot is a myth.
Backward paths are a myth.
Scanner DID NOT GO OFF when I was alt tabbed, so I used windows mode instead. (2nd week in, I alt tabbed back, only to find my bud killing Vyra right in front of me)
TLPD is not skinnable, so you WILL see a body if found in 30mins.
Never saw a spawn before 6hrs, but I wouldn't rule that out completely.
Hawk-eye (hunter) DOES work with NPCscan and helped me alot.
Very long days running on no sleep, constantly killing northrend rares, which seemed to help, only running hup and the daily bg once a day and thats about it. We never left. Was definatley a real bitc* to get. Only left my house once a week or so.
Total time lost: 1.5months

Yesterday i started patrolling for this mount. While i was patrolling with NPCScan on i was reading through all the comments. After every page i clicked through i got more and more discouraged and after about 10 hours of farming i logged off. (During that time though i did get Dirkee.)
I took a bit of a break and logged back on and continued patrolling for a few hours. I was hoping for any of the rares to pop up again so i would know the approx spawn time before i left. I was making my way back when NPC scan went off and scared the $%^& out of me. Wouldn't you know it, it was the Lost TIme Proto Drake. I nearly crapped my pants at the complete blind luck. I managed to get it at 7:00a.m, my time which was 4:00a.m. server time in Bor's Breath more to the south of it. I'm assuming that the Drake Spawned in Brun village and travelled counter clock wise into Bor's Breath? It had been about 10 min since i last patrolled Brun village so i assume so. Anyways 15 hours of constant searching and all doubt casted by my peers here.
I consider myself very lucky , very happy, and wish to spread the good luck to my fellow LTPD hunters. Good luck guys!

Hi I have been reading about the TLPD and after 1-2 months of on an off hunting I gave up. Then bang 2 weeks ago on my way to Ulduar to do the weekly I ran into him and got the TLPD.
Now another 3 weeks gone by, this time on my pally waiting for a VoA raid to form I decided to check his spawn sight at Terrace Makers and there he was again. So I got 2 TLPD.
So it was 2230 1st time on Alexstraza
and 0230 2nd time.
All server time
Hope this helps if someone is keeping a database of his spawn timer.

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. During this time I saw Vyragosa coming back and forth on some of the same paths, so she can go clockwise or counterclockwise. Managed to at least have 3 of the 4 spawns covered during the last 4 days of the hunt. I can also confirm that after one Vyragosa kill I moved one of my toons to the kill area and passed over Dirkee, so he can be up at the same time. To me this confirms that Dirkee and Skoll share a timer together but have nothing in common with Vyra or TL, other than the Northrend spawn cap possibly.
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.

So excited to have finally gotten my very own Time-Lost Proto Drake.
When I first heard of this mount 1.5 years ago I decided to try my luck. After many hours camping over bor's breath I finally saw it spawn but was too late to react to the competition. As time went on I slowly stopped camping it. I had casually passed by it's corpse doing runs over Storm Peaks the last 1.5 years and every few months or so I would check back here to see if any new information was gathered on the spawn.
Finally, after having collected 120 mounts I decided that it was one of the last mounts I needed for my collection and started camping for it again 3 weeks ago. Luckily this time around I was able to do many other things on the computer due to the convenience of NPC scan in window mode.
I saw Vyragosa 5 times before the Time-Lost Proto Drake spawned tonight on Tichondrius at 11:02pm pst. I was simply camping straight above the Frozen waterfall at bor's breath because I saw Vyragosa spawn right above it several times and I believe the first time I saw the Time-Lost Proto Drake it spawned right above that waterfall. However, this time it spawned over the hill by the Frozen Lake at Bor's Breath. While camping it I recall seeing Vyragosa spawn +/- 2 minutes around the top of the hour, and I don't know if it's just coincidence but mostly in the 11:00am/pm area.

WELL! i guess i got really lucky, i was questing in the area and was just flying around not paying attention and BAM! my NPC scan popped up with him and i was like WTF! and if i had been 10 seconds slower a hunter that had been camping for a solid week would have snagged him from me!
UNFORTUNATELY! i dont have the riding skill to use it...so...i sold it JKJK
i put it in the bank for when i can use it

GOT THE TLPD FINALLY!
I camped out between Bor's breath and the waterfall that goes down to K3, he patrolled towards the Engine of the Makers when I got him. Was about 15 - 20 ft off the ground so it was an easy fall.
I didn't have to put in much work except watching and listening for my NPCscan to go off, but others may not find themselves so lucky, around these pages are the paths that TLPD takes so follow them and hopefully you will get lucky as I did. If you plan on camping, find the spot where the 2 paths intercept and wait it out, but I would recommend being more proactive.
Also TLPD does infact follow Vyra's patrol path(s) too, as he was following one of them when I downed him.
Good luck everyone!

After 2 years of playing "Where's Waldo?" with the Tlpd I finally found him. It was 9/14/2010 at 10:17ST on US-Dethecus. He spawned over the cliff in Bor's Breath and flew around Frosthold counter clock-wise. I body pulled him to a ledge and downed him in seconds.
My advice if you want to camp him is to be patient.
The respawn for Vyragosa is at least 6 1/2 hours due to the 30 min despawn timer unless she gets skinned...yes I camped the dead ones too to be sure of this.
TLPD is mostly fact an alternate spawn of Vyragosa. I've killed her dozens of times on 4 toons over 24 months and never saw them up together.
The BEST place to camp is Bor's Breath. I've killed Skoll and Vyragosa so many times here it makes me sick. I've killed Vyragosa on the above mentioned ledge as she spawned hovering...before her patrol mechanic even started.
And because the patrol route is randomized on spawn there are actually
10+ chances of the pat route crossing you here.
Don't think so? I know so because I've experienced at least 9 routes of Vyragosa here. This is because of the close proximity of the other spawn point at the waterfall end of Bor's Breath.
4 possible routes from the waterfall spawn point.
3 possible routes from the point at the other end (Plus ~5 sec of hovering on spawn)
2 possible routes from the other spawn points that come south over Valk. (One turns
east and the other goes farther south around Frosthold.
1 possible route that travels from the Engine of the Makers west through Bor's Breath.
Be sure to wear PvP gear when camping. You aren't the only one who would kill to have this mount!
Questions or concerns? Hit me up in game and I'll show you the routes live.
Happy hunting!

I just noticed something, I found Vyra flying around the k3 route. And thought that I would follow him to confirm the routes for myself.
I followed her one lap, then I noticed that she flew away from the path, still following her, directly from k3 against Zul'Drak :
she despawned, right infront of me
right on the edge to Zul'Drak.

After looking for this elusive beast for 60 hours this week alone, I found it...dead. Yesterday at 9 AM sharp on the Korgath server.
Today, after finishing my Netherwing dailies I headed back up to the Storm Peaks to continue my steak out only to find another dead TLPD. I found the drake dead at exactly 9 AM, again. I should also note that I found them in the exact same spot each time. Right by the Engine (big hole) near Bor's Breath.
Tell me, where were these incredible spawn times when I was searching for it? All week I found just one Vyragosa and not a single sign of anything after that.
The thing that really ticks me off is that no one that has been roughing it out like me has caught it. It's always someone just heading out do to dailies that happen to cross by it. And it's not like I just sit by Bor's Breath all day, I follow all of the routes again, and again.

I just got this while questing in Brunnhildar Village. I had dinged 80 just one minute earlier, and suddenly NPCscan starts making noises, and i look up and see this drake. He was flying high, i flew up to a peak and tried to tap him but he was out of range, and by this time I was afraid someone else would get him before me.
I was lucky though, landed on another spot and started attacking him, and while attacking another level 80 came by and looked at me killing it. He looked real jealous and I'm glad he wasnt of the opposing faction, or i wouldve been dead.
Life is not fair it seems, some people look for this drake for ages. I wasnt even looking for it, I had just installed NPCscan a few days earlier to look for the rare spirit beast Gondria in Zul'drak to tame it.
To top it off, I dont particularly care for proto-drake mounts, I think normal dragons look better.
I will use this mount though.
Good luck to everyone else looking for this!

Killed it today at 12:30 server time Moonglade EU, just south of Valkyria!
For those of you using NPC_Scan overlay, the route is slightly inaccurate in this area(around Frosthold). I was camping over the frosen lake south of Valkyria when the alarm went off and i spotted the drake coming down from the peak next to frosthold, clearly outside the route NPC_scan overlay was showing! If you follow the route around Frosthold I recommend going a bit closer to Frosthold.
EDIT: Killed her again today(10/01/2010) at 10:03 just south of Egnine of the Makers, flying north-east. This time i wasnt camping for it, i was just killing some iron dwarfs for a jc daily. Tagged it for a friend, but before my mate could come a priest showed up and killed her in panic before he realized it was already tagged:(

Finally found/killed this dragon after countless hours of randomly camping for it when I had the time. I usually camp at Bor's Breath, but every once in a while I would leave the camping spot and check the other spawn points just incase he would spawn at the other locations . Luckily for me, I checked at the right moment because right when I was heading towards Bru's Village my NPCSCAN scanned TLPD and no sooner than 2 seconds he was dead! My tip for everyone who is camping this rare jewel in stormpeaks is to never give up no matter how tedious the camping may be. Checking other spawn points and not being stationed at a specific spawn point will also improve your chances of finding TLPD like I did.

Killed 930pm, 8/30/10, Lightbringer, at the cave where Skoll can spawn (29, 51). If that helps people. The sad part is, I was looking to tame Skoll. haha.

Well, I now have three TLP's across my 6 80's.
The first 2 where essentially luck over several months of play thanks to Silver Dragon.
After having the incredible luck of 2 TLP's I was curious to see how long it would take me to catch one on purpose, and it took almost three months.
Keep trying hunters!

Been hunting this for a long time. On and off for 6 months total. Last three I was there every day, mainly doing 6-12h shifts.
Killed Vyragosa and Skoll more times than I can remember. Saw Vyra and TLPD more times dead than I can remember.
Spent almost all of my time at Bor's Breath. TLPD spawned right up there by the cliff near Frosthold.
Killed it today, 5/9/2010 at 14.34 server time.

I was in SP, just hopping along, waiting for my friend to come, so we could pug, (I'm a DK, dps waits r forever!) And I was thinking about this mount. I turned around on my mount to complete my figure 8 that I was doing, and lo and behold! TLPD was waiting for me! I however don't like his skin, and simply yelled out where I was, and that he had spawned in general. Some Boomkin came rushing over like a freakin' train and just destroyed him. :D

Hey all! Found the TLPD today on Feathermoon while flying from Argent Tourney to K3 on a taxi.
When I landed I hopped on my bronze drake and flew around looking for him. Found him at 28.0 48.3
The kill happened around 1:07 CST
:-D

Found him also near Brunnhildar village about 9:00 today while doing dailies. Gave me a heartattack aswell when NPCscan popped him.
What is funny about this, is that, just now, a guy asked me where I got him, I ofcourse said where since I don't wanna be a complete %^&*!@, and he got it aswell. so 2 on the same day that I know off, he also found it close to Brunnhildar Village.
What a day.
Sorry, I thought I wrote that in, it was on Boulderfist. Can't remember his name but that Mage was happy when he whispered me that he got him aswell. :D

for a while i had been flying through storm peaks and while gathering ores i just hit one of those macros every few seconds, one day i saw a corpse just below the nest of this huge protodrake (there is a quest for that one, where some giant jumps onto that giant one) some other time i saw the corpse of Vyra and one day i saw an alive time lost, i saw him just a bit north of Brunnhildar Village, he was flying in between the blue Proto Drakes and seemed to be headed towards the engine of the makers.
my only advice is to not hope to see him the next time you pass that mountain or fly around that corner, the constant disappointment WILL get to you sometime. he'll come when you least expect him.
Good luck fellas.

I ran across him one day a couple months ago when I flying around on my daily look for skull. Found him pating around the frozen lake. Where the harpies where heading towards the village in a clock wise pattern. I think I about died when I tagged and bagged him, though I did make some of my guild jealousy. I bagged him June 27th at 6pm on hoamrush

Been searching for him since february and never caught sight of him once. never even saw him dead, however killed vyragosa and the robo gnome (i cant remember his name lol!) simultaneously more than i cared too. Last night actually i cranked up the volume on my laptop and had it sitting next to my bed. i was setting up a camping location right at the edge of the frozen waterfall and bor's breath near the harpies. right when i landed on a cliff there he randomly came around the corner and npc scan started going off. almost died trying to kill him cause i couldnt hit the buttons >.< however got him down. time was 12:15 am server time or about 3:15 am where im at!

Yesteray was just a regular day for me. I came here and read about the Time Lost Proto Drake the same way I have for the past year and some months.
This morning I became part of the TLPD club! Killed Vyragosa myself five times. The sixth time was the one and only Time Lost Proto Drake.
How I acquired the TLPD.
1) Camped out at Bor's Breath every waking moment and used the macro that has been mentioned here several times to alert me when TLPD popped up. That's it. There is no magic pill there is nothing to it but a lot of luck and hard work.
This is an endurance match, just dont give up and stay persistent and it will happen. Like most people I started to question my sanity and wonder if the TLPD really existed. But I guess that is when it pops up to show you the truth, that it does exist.
Use the macro, put in the time and it shall be yours.

Vyragosa and time lost doesnt share spawn timer in my opinion they have the same tracks but they dont have same spawn time, ive farmed time lost for few months now, ive seen his body twice ive killed vyragosa 10 times and skoll 10 times. Vyragosa spawn 6 hours after the last kill if she havent then you probably have missed her or if she havent time lost will spawn 12-14 hours after the last kill and thats really rare. there is a reason why he is named time lost :)
he is a rare spawn spawned by another rare so you are just really lucky if you kill him its nothing you can really farm its out of your control

Potentially Useful Information:
A few of my friends are Austin-based Blizzard GM's, one of who is a Senior GM. He has access to their mob utility, which gives him really detailed info on any creature in the game. That includes spawn locations, spawn timer details, spawn rules, drop rates, etc, along with the basic statistical data. He doesn't like giving that info out, as they track the kill rates of rare stuff like this to make sure GM's aren't breaking the NDA.
That said, he did give me a pretty interesting detail: Apparently there can only be one rare mob up in a zone at a time. Once it's killed, the window is open for another rare to spawn, and that spawn time can sometimes be instant: Some rare mobs have quicker spawn cycles than others, so if a rarer mob is up, that not-so-rare rare is queued up to spawn once that rarer mob dies. That's the reason you often hear people saying, "I killed Dirkee and then Vyra spawned an hour later!" or "The second Vyra died, Dirkee spawned right on my friend's head."
Only Vyra and the TLPD share spawn
cycles
, but all rares share the same "1-at-a-time" spawn
window
.
Meaning, you can just sit back and camp Bor's Breath; It's a tried and true spawn location and most of TLPD & Vyra's paths intersect there, but if no one else kills that Dirkee sitting over near Udular, you won't be seeing Vyra or TLPD spawn until someone does. This is a major factor as to why Vyra/TLPD's spawns are so few and far between, if Dirkee isn't killed, Vyra's already-long respawn cycle is just elongated.
MIND YOU: THIS IS JUST HEARSAY.
He could be completely wrong or mistaken. All he handles as a Senior GM are account related issues (recovering hacked accounts, investigating farmers, etc), so there's a chance he's out of the loop, but he's a pretty smart egg and usually knows his stuff, so I've taken to making some loops around the zone every 15-30 minutes just to make sure Dirkee's not skulking around near Ulduar.
Anyhow, I wanted to share this info as I'm a fellow TLPD farmer and have spent many a weekends pulling all nighters to only see Vyra spawn, and even then, not always. You're probably still very safe just creepin' around Bor's Breath waiting for Vyra or TLPD to spawn, but if you're there for a while and start to get antsy, it's not a bad idea to give a Dirkee sweep around the zone.
Good luck and good hunting!

Got this at 9:15 am server time on grizzly hills server on 10/03/2010.
http://img810.imageshack.us/g/wowscrnshot100310101500.jpg/
A selection of screenshots.Pay attention to chat dialogue there were some funny exchanges.
Was doing the brunhhildar polar bear daily and npc scan went off. I flew up and did not see him but then I moved towards sulfredar village and saw him. Parked myself in a good spot and it was over. TPLD is non skinnable as far as I can see while Vyragosa is. Last time I killed Vyragosa was on 09/03 at 8:11 pm so it may be a strange coincidence of 1 month. This is a dumb luck mount. if you try to farm it which I used to do, you are very likely to be disappointed. I gave up on the thing and would have been happy with a green oracle proto drake or white polar bear mount (neither of which dropped for me that day)
Best advice is GET NPC scan and find a way to be in Storm Peaks on a daily basis with a regular schedule.

Does the /tar Time macro target him when he spawns, or when he comes into range ( i think is 100 yards, where NPC_Scan hits)...
Anyway, saw this bugger dead while I was training in Valkyrion. When I got enough for Epic Flying, I got it, and flew around Storm Peaks for weeks. Still going now. If anything can be said about the above statement, please do.
BTW. Open to talk about TLPD on WoW.

Been searching for this guy for about 3 days now, still no luck and only a single sighting of Vryagosa's corpse to keep me intrested.
What is annoying me though isn't the time spent waiting for a single spawn, it's the two people that already have it on my realm that keep hanging out near the spawn points on their shiny drakes; one of them has been there 2 days in a row for about 3 hours camping the lake spawn, the other just seems to like following the paths the drake takes.
As if the hordes of other people who camp around aren't bad enough (though you can't really blame them for camping) you've got 2 a**holes who want to rub their mounts in people's faces and even camp the points like they want to kill it again.
We get it, you've got the TLPD, now bugger off ¬.¬
EDIT:
A few days later and i've given up. I finally realised i've spent far too many hours on trying to find one rare mount when i could've been doing some heroics for emblems or actually having a social life.
Coupled with the facts that the aforementioned people will not give up trying to ruin everyone elses chances of getting the mount, my Golden Gryphon is no match for everyone's Bronze Drakes (or indeed, TLPDs -.-) if it comes to a race, NPCscan is buggering my computer up (only add-on I installed for months, WoW started randomly crashing and freezing, uninstalled the add-on and WoW now works again) and i've not seen anything since the Vyra corpse sighting about a week ago, it just doesn't feel like a good use of my time and effort, especially if i'll be replacing it with a cooler Cata mount or I end up quitting WoW the day after I get it.
Good luck to everyone else, and I hope you have a lot better luck than I seem to be having with... well, everything.

Me and a bud camped full time 24/7 in Bor's while taking turns sleeping. We basically lived there. Between the two of us, we hardly missed a spawn. The ones we did miss, had to have been mostly from Brun or Uld. The map with the colored paths is correct. All run counter-clockwise, except green (west spawn point). The spawn points can be seen from the Youtube vid from those four German guys, amazing work btw. You'll have to pause it to see it, but towards the end, they do a quick recap by showing each 4 points as you see Vyra spawn 'inside', sort of speak, the wall/cliff/ledge. She remains stationary for a few moments, and then soon moves into the path.
My primary spot was the south spawn point (ledge above big waterfall facing K3), while constantly checking the east (Brunnhildar). Friend's was the west point (Bor's cliff just above waterfall area south of Valkyrion), while watching for north's spawn (Ulduar path). When he wasn't on, I would stay between west & south while trying to pat the others every :30 as much as possible, and vise versa. Priority was always west and south (Bor's). The 'Ulduar' spawn point (red path/north's spawn) can be found if you start from the letter "r" in Ulduar on your map, and go southeast just a bit, untill you hit the other side of the big pit (southern side). He comes out of the wall right around there, as the video shows.

Most times above are no more then a few minutes off. 6 or 7 were corpses found, so they were rounded about :25 mins before.
We never witnessed a 5th path or a backwards path. The Vyra paths can only be the TLPD path, imo.
TLPD is not skinnable, Vyra is. TLPD's corpse despawns after 30mins.
Never saw a spawn before 6hrs, but I wouldn't rule that out completely.
Killing Northrend rares, especially the other 2 in SP,
seemed
to help speed up pop times.
When alt-tabbed, NPCscan would NOT work for me, so I used windows-mode instead when needed. It DOES work well with Hawk-eye.
These kills, even between the two of us were no easy task, even with moderate competition from other players. Very late nights, very early mornings. Anyone who runs into this mount should feel pretty damn lucky. It's definatley a real bitc* to find.

Finally got my
TPLD
after 3 weeks of intensive camping the frozen lake. He came to me at 02:01 AM, exactly 7 hours after the last Vyra spawn , flying low (treetop) , from Bor’s Landing towards Valkyrion. I downed him right there at 30,66. I won’t repeat all the knowledge I gathered on this site, wich helped a lot. But here are the things that I feel worked out for me:
- Use NPC Scan
- Don’t patrol, camp – I camped Bor’s Breath at the known location 28,65
- Once you decide to do it, spend as much time as possible, I spent a minimum of 8 hours/day, with most of the days camping at least 12 hours. A sign you’re doing things right, is meeting Vyra a lot. In three weeks I downed her about 10 times and seen her at least 5 more.
- Don’t get bothered by the 30min. sunday campers, they come and go.
- This one is pure speculation I heard more then once, but coincidentally worked for me: try to be there in the late hours, right after server restart.
Good luck, and thanks again for all the usefull things posted here.

I never write on wowhead. But this time I need to talk about what happened.
Server: Warsong - US
I always wanted a TLPD but never wanted to play 12 hours per day over a month like some people did.
After I read people talking about the NPC scan, I went to storm peaks and started camping. It was about 5:20 pm.
I picked two pieces of paper and stucked into my keyboard to hold the right arrow and the delete key so i would not get kicked by being idle.
I went to sleep at 5:30pm
It was 6:30 pm when I head the addon making that really loud sound. I jumped from the bed and saw the TLPD flying just below me. I jumped on it with my bear form and taunted. I was really sleepy and kinda dazed from the bed so I almost died by falling. With 5% health remaining, I manage to kill the drake and screamed on my guild that I got the drake after a really hard 1 hour farming time on my bed!
AWESOME!
I downed him at 32,66
Do it like Xarwen said. It really works.

After 8 freaking months of camping.. I finally got this beauty. It was just after the patch at 19:30 server time, and I just decided to go to storm peaks for fun really. Whilst I was heading there, i realized i had forgotten to turn my NPC scanner back on again. Anyway, when i arrived at Bor's breath i immediately saw this gigantic, gold coloured dragon flying and i almost got a heart attack. Arcane barrage, slow fall and one instant arcane blast were enough to kill it..
Freaking love this mount, its colours are awesome and it gives you a really satisfying feeling to finally obtain this beauty after 8 months. To everyone farming this mount: DONT give up! you will get it, eventually..

Also, side note, Chill by the Frozen Lake with NPC scanner on, and do nothing else...every time you see Vyragosa, just remember that was another chance that the Timelost could have spawned...its only a matter of time

After a long search I had given up... I only wanted "a" Proto-drake. So I did the Glory of the Hero achievement and received my Red Proto- Drake. As a hunter I decided to look for skoll to add to the collection where all of sudden I see the Time Lost Proto Drake hovering over my head. My heart started to beat rapidly and hope to god no one was near me. As i got the proto on the ground and he had an inch of life life about 3 horde and 2 alliance show up. To there dismay the drake was dead. They were quite jealous and used a couple slurred words at me but I was loving life.
Anyways it spawned right over Valkaryion village. Dropped the reins obviously, A lvl 76 necklace, and a travelers bag filled with 20 frostweave cloth and about 20 gold.

Just got this drake :)
I needed a place to afk waiting for Trick & Treat cd's while i played PS3 with a friend.
Decided i might aswell wait at his spawn point in Bor's Breath, even tho i never expected to see him.
Then around 13.33 Local Time today my npcscan went off & he was incoming from the start of Bor's Breath (Prob spawned at the village).
I flew down to him with heartbeats, popped the Slow fall potion & moonfired him.
Now i got my 117th mount as a mount collector :) Shamefully he wont be used that much, as i prefer Ashes.
Goodluck to any1 out there farming it! He does excist!

Here are the facts that I was able to collect thru 6 months of hunting for that rare mob.
The Facts:
- Time-Lost Proto Drake is a rare spawn of Vyragosa which means most of the time it's Vyra that spawns. TLPD spawns can occur even 3 or 4 times a week or don't show up even for week or a month!
- They both share the same spawn timer which is generally 6-24H. It's rarely less or more than 6-24. However some ppl claim they've seen them spawn after 5H of each other as well as more than 24H. NOTE: Post Shattering/4.x, seems that the minimum no-spawn window has dropped down to 3-4 hours. I have personally seen multiple 5ish spawns and the last TLPD we downed was 4:16 after a vyra kill. The 6 hour spawn window is dead.
- Both TL/Vyra share the same 4 patrolling routes and spawn points, which have their usuall direction but sometimes can go opposite direction. It's totally not true that they always go one direction. Below are coordinates with directions they usually take:
Brunhildar Village - 51.70 - Counter-clockwise
Bor's Breath aka Frozen Lake - 31.69 Clockwise
Bor's Fall aka Waterfall - 35.76 - Counter-clockwise
Ulduar 52.34 - Counter-clockwise
http://www.tlpdresource.com/newhowto.01.invert.html
- They both despawn after certain amount of time if not killed, I observed myself that Vyra was up for good 20 minutes and was able to patrol 3 full loops around Ulduar ravine spawn point. So generally it's around 30 min b4 they despawn. Don't play with TLPD if u need the mount as you may be surprised :)
- Vyragosa is skinable but TL is not, if u can skin, skin it to remove chances for other to see it and time next kill.
2.Possibilities (additional important info, not 100% verified)
- Spawns may be triggered by killing other rares. It was proved by a group of guild members who for some time camped all 4 spawn points while others were going after all the rares in Northrend. Their results indicated that more rares being killed were triggering spawns sooner 6-12 hours while normal spawns where rares where dying less often, spawn were between. 12-24 hours. Now after that being said if you're on a less populated server expect them to spawn less often. However, no matter how rares are killed Vyra/TL has to spawn before 24H from last spawn. Limit or "cap" is 3 rares up at the same time.
- Times at which they spawn are very random and can occur anytime. However my personal log sheet including over 50 sightings and about 30 vyragosa kills indicate that 90% spawns occured at full hour, for example at 2:00, 5:00 or shortly after like 7:03, 9:07. Again it could be just a coincidence but I strongly recommend to be prepare for spawns at full hours. I was able to conclude that as I always camp the spots alone or with other friends rather than fly around their patrolling routes and because of that I was able to see when they spawn exactly and always kept log sheet.
- My personal observation indicates spawns between 15-24H (45 out of over 50)
3.How to catch it.
Now there are two commonly used methods to obtain the mount. First is to camp one spot and another to fly around their patrolling routes. I personally prefer the 1st one, camping one spot gives you 25% chance to see the spawn and kill it. To increase your chances you can have a friend or guildie take another spawn point which will increase another 25% for either of you obtaining the mount (As long as u and everyone else knows the FCFS rule - First come first serve :) I highly recommend camping Frozen Lake 31.69 because from there you can see 3 flight paths and if u fly little closer to the east u will be at intersections of all 4. but then campers might kill your drake b4 u even see it. Occasional "fly-arounds" by you or someone helping you is good too but be careful because if TL can be quickly killed by campers. Be sure to download latest NPCscan with it's "overlay" addition which adds fly routes of all rares in game. NPCscan itself will give a warning that a rare is in area. Note that after each rare u find NPCscan "caches" the rare and it may not go off next time u see the rare, And u need to be finding and killing Vyras to gather info and "time" next spawn as well as minimize the competition.
Try to get info about last kills but don't share yours info on Vyra, skin it if u can. However announce the TL kills if u get lucky let other campers know so they don't sit there like an idiots after u got the mount, give them location if you are done with the hunt ( don't if your alt or friends are still after it of course). After you kill TLPD chances are there won't be another for next few days.
Also u can get a lot more info from Pro TLPD hunters on
www.TLPDresources.com
4.My Story
I stared looking after TLPD long time ago and often took trips to Storm Peaks to see if I get lucky. 1 day I met a guy sitting on Frozen Lake S-P for good 4 days, we talked for a bit shared experiences and I decided to take another S-P at Ulduar where I killed Vyragosa on-spot few days before. After 4 hours I gave up, went to do a heroic and by the time I was done guy whispers happily " I GOT HIM". He wasn't Bs-ing he showed me the mount as well as the corpse. That gave me motivation. Since then Frzoen Lake became my new home for next 3 weeks, one weekend I left my spot to take a quick fly-by to Engine of the makers, where my NPCscan went off finding TLPD but unfortunatelly it was dead. Next weekend after intensive camping for 2 weeks ( I was there everyday for from 5pm -2am and whole weekends. on saturday night 6 days from last TL I took a break for 2 hours, on my way back to S-P at around 12:10am I noticed a guy on TL in Krasus Landing in Dalaran it turned out he just got him ( I saw corpse) I'm devastated but not giving up. I camped whole next week killing even more Vyras as usual, I have my log that let's me "time" spawns, that makes me very successful hunter I spend less time camping and I leave Storm Peaks almost every nite with vyragosa killed. During all that I meet few people among them is one DK that joins my camping everytime he logs in, we share information and often take 2 best camping spots at Frozen Lake and Brunhildar. I'm good enough that I can "time" next spawns I'm often wrong by no more than 4H. Spawns occur every 19-22 hours apart for some time. After 7 days I meet with DK at 8PM he tells me about last Vyra being killed at 4am. We decide to start camping as we're expecting next spawn in around 18-24H. We take 2 hottest S-P's me on Frozen Lake , him at Brunhildar we both are waiting patiently for next spawn hoping it will be what we are looking for weeks ( I myself don't do anything in game for 3 weeks except camping F-Lake and occasionally doing randoms during 10H "dead" zone after each kill or corpse find) it's November 7th 2010 I remember I watched 3 movies in a row, when they ended at 1:40am I got to my desk to move the mouse so I don't get Dc'ed I stare at the screen for good 12 mins
And then out of the blue at exactly 2:01 AM My NPCscan goes crazy and what do i see? I see awesome yellowish Proto Drake I've been after for so long.
I kill him asap, it takes no longer than 10 secs he goes down and I loot the mount. It's awesome feeling after u become so dedicated!
Now I hope everyone who is really giving their valued time into camping that Drake, as well as those who are there just passing by, but those who put their work into it will appreciate the reward even more.

Here are the facts that I was able to collect thru 6 months of hunting for that rare mob.
Time-Lost Proto Drake is a rare spawn of Vyragosa which means most of the time it's vyragosa that spawns and sometimes she lets her Proto Sister to spread her wings.
They both share the same spawn timer which is 6-24H. They have 4 spawn points which are:
Brunhildar Village - 51.70
Rohemdal Pass - 31.69
Bor's Fall - 35.76
Ulduar 52.34
Each spawn point has it's own patrolling route, TLPD/Vyra will circle that path for about 10 mins and will despawn. Both directions were reported but mostly it's clockwise direction.
There are 2 ways of catching that Drake, one is to circle around from spawn point to spawn point following each of the patrolling routes or camping one point. I myself prefer camping the point which is the closest to all 3 routes which is Rohemdal Pass and area around 36.66 but "Big Whole" near Engine of the Makers is the intersection of all 3 routes (it's far from any spawn point but standing in the middle of these paths u have big chance of targetting the mob if it's patrolling one of these 3 routes and wasn't killed by it's spawn point.
There is many helpful macros like the simpliest:
/tar Time-Lost
/tar Vyragosa
But the most efficient tool u can get is the addon called NPCscan with Overlay. NPCscan will sound the alarm when ANY of the rare mob in WoW will be in ur targetting area and Overlay will add configurable trail of all of the rare mobs.
Important!: When NPCscan finds a mob it will cache it, removing the trail from your map and will prevent from alarming on next find, If u want it to find the mob again you need to remove the CACHE folder from your *:\World of Warcraft\Cache directory. If you remove it ur NPCscan will search for all previously found rare mobs.
Good luck everyone on finding the rarest mob in the game, I'll post the picture when i find mine. Btw it's been 6 months and I found Vyragosa about 15 times and seen TLPD dead twice. So good luck!

I was in a rush, I was late for doing the Argent Tournament daily quests, at this time I figured that using the Wormhole Generator: Northrend was an efficient way of getting from Booty Bay to Icecrown, to do my dailies. Something else caught my attention while casting the wormhole, so I came back and I assumed the wormhole would disappear soonish, I managed to misclick while trying to press Icecrown in a hurry, and I ended up clicking on the Storm Peaks teleport, I was angry all through the loading screen, but a rather shocking message from NPCscan appeared on my screen when I was out in Ulduar after the loading screen,
A good day in my opinion ;)
And GL to all of you who camps for this drake 24/7, you're the best!

Just got this magnificent mount today after 3 month of camping. really didnt expect this becouse have been solo camping almost all, have not known much about earlier spawns etc.
But tlpd spawns upon me at brunnhildar village just on the mountain shelf to the south. tried to tag it closer to the mountain but failed when he get out of range. he flew very fast, surely 200% speed right across the village. but luckly i manage to bodypull him down to the ground and score the kill!
i am so damn happy that i didnt gave up, its all about luck at the time if you dont really hardcore camping with 24 hours coverage with four toons.
The kill happened 3:55 pm on shattered hand eu

EDIT: Chain-downranked in one day? Fascinating. Someone must not want TLPD-hunting competition.
UPDATE
:
I finally bagged this sonuvagun after the better part of a 5-day nonstop camp. Figured I'd add to the piles of comments, for those too lazy to scroll through the first 700 odd comments. ;)
THE SKINNY ON TLPD
:
I LIEK CAPS
OGODMYCAPSBUTTONISSTUCKHOWDOIFIXTHI.. wait, nvm.
There are 4 spawn points, as shown by the blue crosses on this map (courtesy of Ponderance at tlpdresource.com) :
http://tlpdresource.com/newmap.jpg
TLPD is a rare spawn of the rare spawn Vyragosa, i.e. if a rare dragon spawns in Storm Peaks, it has a chance to be either TLPD or Vyragosa (approximately 4% chance to be TLPD spawn, not confirmed though)
Both TLPD and Vyragosa share the same spawn timers, which is anywhere between 6-24 hours. This means after either TLPD/Vyragosa is downed and the corpse has despawned, the minimum time for the next dragon spawn is 6 hours. (Despawn time for the corpse is 30 min).
Vyragosa's corpse can be skinned, TLPD's cannot.
Referring to the earlier
map
, Vyragosa+TLPD share the same patrol paths. The directions can be either clockwise or counterclockwise.
If not killed for whatever reason, TLPD will despawn after ~15 min.
WHAT I DID:
You will notice there are several points to camp at, i.e. spawn points and multi-path camp points. Popular multi-path camp points are:
- South of Engine of the Makers, e.g. - 3 patrol paths pass here. (lol, try saying that 4 times fast - 3 patrol paths pass here xD)
- Bor's Breath, e.g. - 4 patrols paths pass here.
Initially, I camped around for the first 2 days, and I saw Vyragosa 4 times (downed her twice).
As tempting as it is, it is truly inefficient to fly around like a headless chicken and fly around the patrol paths.
What bagged me my TLPD was this
:
After the first 2 days, the next 2 days were fruitless: I didn't see a single TLPD/Vyragosa, dead or alive.
On the 5th day, I decided to camp at the frozen lake, south of Valkyrion: , as this was close to a spawn point and was close enough to the other 2 patrol paths.
In the morning, I met a nice hunter by the name of Lorelaine who was hunting for Skoll. I joked about trading Skoll for TLPD/Vyra.. about 10 minutes later, she invites me to a party and spams 'COME' in my chat window (no dirty jokes pl0x :<). Turns out she founds Vyra. Yay, I has a spawn timer nao!
Seemed like it was a good spot to camp, so came back later (7 hours, I got locked out of the house and had to wait for parents :S) and parked my ass there. Was getting late, so I decided to catch some shut-eye. What bagged me my TLPD was this:
TIP: Get a optical mouse, use a mirror under it till the cursor moves randomly. Then take something heavy and put it over right click to make your char look in random directions. This will make your char not get logged out if you go afk. The leave sound to maximum, disable music and enviorment, go to sleep.
If TLPD comes around your speakers will go nuts. This is what i've been using to get it.
--Impurity Maelstrom EU
Mirror didn't seem to work well on my Razer, ended up using aluminium foil instead. I was woken up by my speakers blasting out the default NPCScan sound, and ran to my laptop, guess who?
He was going counterclockwise from the Frozen Lake spawn point towards Dala, so I body-pulled him to a cliff, nuked him down and got mah drake :D (victory shot missing because I cba to post it :P)
TL;DR
Download+install
NPCScan
addon.
Camp at one of the spawn points, preferrably Frozen Lake or Frozen Waterfall.
After seeing a dead TLPD/Vyra, you have 6 hours of freedom. Catching sunlight is a good start.
Don't forget to clear your cache after each sighting of TLPD/Vyra (go to your WoW folder and delete Cache folder)
Find a way to afk without d'cing while you sleep, possibly the one in quotes above, leave your sound on in the background (turn off music and ambient sounds in settings).
Camp in an unoccupied spot - Don't be a @#$%^&.
Buy some
Snowfall Lager
and pop it before engaging TLPD, his special attack knocks you off your mount and you might die :<

Just a few comments on Lidmo's post...
1. Your map is not very good. The spawn points are correct, as far as I know (I can only personally confirm the bottom 3 blue Xs), but there are a lot of path elements that the drakes do not take. The map on the first comment of this page is much more accurate in terms of the paths the drakes follow.
2. Also, each path has a definite direction (CW or CCW). There is not an option for it to be one or another for a given path. Paths overlap a lot so it may appear this way to someone who doesn't actually understand the four paths. The black route on your map is CW, the other three are CCW.
3. Rare spawns do NOT despawn. This applies to the TLPD as well. I personally flew around with a TLPD for over an hour on the PTR (video here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3XYcGDymPE&fmt=22
).
4. It may because I'm a tank and had a lot of defense gear at the time (March 2010), but during that hour I was with the TLPD, I decided to let it hit me from the front, from the back, you name it, for several minutes at a time. He never once dazed or dismounted me.
Otherwise, congrats on your new mount!

Yes, it can fly both CW and CCW... but not on a per-path basis. Each path has a direction.
As far as Blizzard GMs confirming a despawn? It's evidently not the case. The GMs making that claim were speculating, and incorrectly. The GMs are not developers. They do not have significant additional insight over us as far as the mechanics of this mob.

From knowledge hunting rares,and other maps,I put together a possible flight path he takes.

I made a map of a flightpath I think he takes,starting either at Bruunhildar or K3

I was looking at all the maps people had done of the differant routes to take, and I can never be sure of what one to do, so I made a wuick map of the route I take which has a bit of every route in, I hope it helps!

While doing dailies in the Storm Peaks area on the Farstriders realm I wasn't really looking for this guy when all of a sudden my NPC Scan dinged and after leaving the pit, where my daily was I saw him. Where as I gave chase injured and all because that daily not only hurts the bear but after a bit you. I was at half health when I came upon him in all his glory, being a Frost DK I did my Frost Strike, Howling Blast and Obliterate which if you are a frost is the best way to take him down. After the battle was over I was at little to no health, that's how hard he hits, but his prize was well worth it. I strongly recommend NPC Scan to help find this guy it really does work instead of constantly camping at one place also do not go there expecting to see him it took me months to just see him. So good luck to all those hoping to get this mount before Cataclysm comes out and when it does being able to fly around Azeroth with it.

Dude. Do NOT fly around the routes. Just pick a spawn point and stay there for as long as possible. Download NPCScan and turn up your speakers, turn on sound in background and turn off ambient sound+music and wait. WAIT.

I just made this account on WoWhead so I could share basically everything I know about this guy.
I have got this drake on 2 toons, the first was around 2 months after WotLk release and the other was on 26th Decemeber last year ( nice day late christmas prezzie :D), currently working on another while having a raiding break before Cata.
I have also helped a few find this beast also, about 10 people got it with my help so I guess i have picked up a good lot of info on it.
1st
, Starting with something that bugs me a lot, the path directions. 4 paths, and all of them have a set direction, in all the time I have camped ( and that is a looooong time) I have never seen either Vyra or Time-Lost travel 2 ways on a certain path, it's always been the same.
The Spawn point near Frosthold is the only one with a path that is clockwise, the other 3 paths are all Counter Clockwise. I am 99% sure of this, if there is any video that would show different, then please post it just for my own peace of mind. Granted some paths clash which are going in different directions like the Ulduar Ravine path which goes through Bor's Breath before heading up towards the Abandoned Camp, that clashes with the Frosthold Loop path ( spawning at Bor's Falls), the Frosthold Loop goes the opposite direction which may make people believe the respected paths are going the opposite way but no, there is
NO
video proof ( that I know of, and I have looked through youtube a lot for this) of any path going 2 different ways, if there is that somebody knows about and video that does exist, please post it in a reply (from a live server) and I will eat my words, up until then, I won't believe it and would encourage anyone reading this comment to do the same, word of mouth is one thing, video evidence is another :)
2nd, Spawn points
- Over the good while I have been browsing through this part of wowhead, so many people claim that there are more than 4 points, popular theories include a Valkyrion and Engine of the Makers spawn points but I have never seen this at all.. ever. The "Crazy German" video hits the nail on the head, 4 points - Frosthold Hill Side, Bor's Falls, Brunnhildar Village and Ulduar Ravine each patting their respective routes. People believe they just spawned in all sorts of places because they just came into view and not far away from you ( possibly because you have your video settings low or other technical issues with your connection / server stability) but the fact is, set spawn points, set routes and set directions.
3rd, Despawning
- So many ask the question of despawning and I have to say I don't believe it. The GM SS in which he said about despawning, I just get the feeling its faked or the GM was wrong. Also, further back was a Youtube Vid of Time-Lost flying around on the Ptr for over an hour.. That kind of thing knocks the the screenshotted GM thing right out of the park, obviously people will just say " Yeah, it's a Ptr, not a live realm so you can't tell if Blizz modified it so It wouldn't despawn" ( Yes, i got this said to me 2 days ago while camping on my Mage). Simple answer too that is, Why would they? How does it effect what is going on on the Ptr, why would Blizz edit some code to stop the TLPD despawning on a Ptr while there is other content / changes they want people too experience?
We do know however that phasing does make it appear like the despawn, Garms Bane ( I think it's called that, East of K3) is one in particular which, on ascending towards Brunnhildar they both do "Phase in and Phase out" at certain points which may look like they despawn but for some reason it only happens sometimes, I am not sure exactly how it does or does not happen, I have followed her a few times there and a few times she "despawned, phased out or w/e" and some time she didn't, it's an odd one, there is a youtube vid on that I will post if i find it.
Also Engine of the Makers is another one this happens in, which I believe adds fuel to the fire of the spawn point there near the cave too the east of the hole in the ground. If you are on a certain quest in Storm Peaks, it puts you into a different phase in which you see Iron Golems ( or something like that) around the Engine instead of Rhino's and all the other usual stuff there. I have seen the video of 2 people, 1 phased to the quest, the other isn't. When Vyragosa reached a little further than the Abandoned Camp it appeared she "despawned" from the phase players PoV, while the other who was not phased could still see her flying across the Engine and just as she reached the cave before flying up to the Terrace of the Makers she "re appeared" to the phased person as she had passed over the phased area he was in. Now that, that is what makes some believe that the Engine is a spawn point. ( I'll have a look for the video properly on youtube and edit it in after I have made the post, there are a lot of Vyra vids so It may take a while :P)
4th, Spawn timers
- Pretty much all the info here is correct, anything 6+ hours form corpse despawn. Skinning does not make a difference in my experience to the respawn time. Interestingly, I have seen Time-Lost spawn exactly 2x in exactly 24 hours. The night I got my 1st kill on my main, Hunter, it was 21:01 when I found and killed him at Bor's Falls, spawned there and was heading up Bor's Breath. At 21:02 the following night, I was flying up from K3 and as I was traveling up towards the top of Bor's Falls I noticed Time-Lost again, flying down towards Bor's Falls from Sifreldar Village ( obviously this time it was a Brunnhildar spawn).. he didn't make it far before a Blood Elf Mage killed him. I seen this happen a further 2 times, nearly exact to the minute 24hrs later, and one of the times on the exact same path *hint hint* If you see a Time-Lost dead, wait too see what time it despawns ( and don't kick yourself if it despawns 29 mins and 45 seconds after you find it haha), mark it on your in-game clock and try to be around the next time.
My advise is, if you want to find this drake, you can be very lucky and find within a few hours but for the most of us it's a long struggle and if you want to find him, dedicate a lot of time to it.. Yes it's only a game but if you really want it you will have to put in some serious time in most cases, the old saying goes well here "If something is truly worth having, it's not going to fall into your lap, you have to work for it."
As for camping it, I would always choose Bor's Breath like many do, 3 paths go through it and it's very close to the Frosthold spawn point. I always patrolled every 30 mins ( once 2 ,minutes after the hour, and again 2 mins after the half hour. I chose them times because i have seen Vyra and Time-Lost both spawn 1-2 mins after the hour / half hour so rather than leaving bang on the time to lap round Brunn and check Ulduar, I would just be 100% sure and wait that extra couple of mins)
Not sure if many will find this helpfull, but that's basically all the starter info you would need to begin camping, I'm not going to attach a map though because there are so many already, most of them are ok, some are drastically wrong but meh.. That's just the way it is :)
Oh, btw, I'm from Moonglade Eu.

After only a day of camping the TLPD spawned for me near Bor's Breath and I was able to get him down and claim the reigns this past Wednesday! And tonight, I check my mysterious egg I got from the Oracles and I get the reigns for the Green Drake. Im having a good week!
Keep at it guys! You'll get it!

After a few attempts flying around The Storm Peaks this week, I killed Vyragosa twice, and was lucky enough to come across the Time-Lost Proto-Drake flying over Snowdrift Plains towards Bors Breath two days later.
He's much bigger than I expected, and didn't even need my /target macro to find him, was just lucky enough to spot him!
Level 73 disc priest when I found him, so he's solo-able below level 80 even though he is a 80 elite.
He does a sort of stun, which can be annoying, he killed me twice and flew into Bors Breath and up to towards the Engine of the Makers, but flies slow enough that you won't loose him if you do end up dying XD
As far as a spawn timer though, I seriously have NO idea.
I think it is completely random, could be an hour, could be one week.
Good luck hunting guys!
I was pretty sure he didn't exist before, but trust me, he does and will spawn at somepoint =)

I have been hunting this dragon since January for every now and then, and for about 2 days ago 03:00 am, I got lucky seing him alive for once. Even though an ally tagged him before me, I ended up wining the fight. I couldn't let the gnome take my lovely dragon ;)
Also seen the TLPD dead twice in the last 5-6 days or so.
Have seen/killed around 30 vyragosa before i nabbed my TLPD.
Usaully camped around Bor's Breath most of the time since it seems to be the best spot to camp.
Oh yeah, the dragon came from Valkyrion so I guess it was a Ulduar spawn from the beginning.
Good luck hunters!, there's a dragon for you out there too, don't give up!

Got mine 5 minutes ago!
Been camping Bor's Breath for like two days and night, not seen Vyra, or the body of TLPD. I went to bed 3 hours ago. But got a hearthattack when the NPC_scanner's default drumsong pumped out of my speakers in the highest volume possible.
Tabbed up wow and looked around, and there he was! I were the only one there as I could see.

I was camping for this little dude 5 days in Stormpeaks, bored as hell in the last day I went in Dalaran to return a daily for JC I didn't used my Hearthstone I flew, when I was turning back in Stormpeaks on the same route my NPC Scan make some noize and i saw TLPD image and when I clickled on that I actually saw his corpse. This thing with the daily was about 2 min go in dalaran and get back but I think I am not just lucky I thought I was. I think for getting this mount by camping in Stormpeaks is a lost of time like the name of this pretty mount, many ppl got this by pure luck for example going for dailys or just flying to Ulduar or somewhere else in Stormpeaks or found him when they were leveling in that area.
Anyway I stoped looking for TLPD since that day I think it will come to me some how and I wish good luck to all of you who are looking for this mount.

FINALY I'm one of those who can say they got it :) After more than 3 weeks of 5 - 12 hours camping every day, 15 Vyras seen dead, 5 killed myself, several dead TLPD's, seeing my friend getting it I FINALY got it.
You won't believe me but I really felt today was the day.
Found it at Waterfall after it flying a round due to me being AFK ^^
To all of you who's camping this like I did ( No dailies or moving at all unless Vyragosa / TLPD is dead, keep camping. It will pay off eventually. It's a cliche, I know and I was certain I wouldn't get it but I did, and I'm so satisfied because unless you're really lucky it's a real pain in the ass to get it. Good luck to all of you.

I got this mount as a birthday present from my husband yesterday! =)
I had been camping two of the spawn points on and off for weeks with my toon and one of his. I'd leave our computers on with NPC scan on in case either TLPD or Vyragosa spawned on either of us. I killed Vyra several times but never saw TLPD.
Discovering it in my bag:
Yesterday I went to work and after a long hard day I logged in to put my shaman back in her camping spot. When I logged in I noticed she was standing right next to engine of the makers unmounted. I was confused for a second but then it hit me...omg why else would she be here unless......OMG! I opened my bag and there was the Time-Lost Proto Drake and the other goodies he had dropped. I almost died of excitement. He even took screenshots so that I could see the kill.
The kill:
He told me the story about how he got it later and apparently it was quite a feat. He left my toon on one of the camp stops and went to take a shower. When he was done he noticed that my npc scan had gone off and it had been the TLPD. He was so upset with himself for not hearing it go off in the shower and thought he lost it for sure. Panicked he fumbled around looking for my mount (I have a crazy UI) and took off looking for it. He flew around all of the paths for a good 10 min until npc scan went off again over the engine of the makers. He flew all around the TLPD and finally picked up threat and flew straight down. When he got to the ground he had no idea of how to play my character, especially with my interesting ui. Apparently he found my earth elemental totem and the elemental worked on him until he found flame shock and just kinda spammed that every time the cd was up lol.
I have to say this was definitely a wonderful and surprising birthday present. THANK YOU HONEY! <3 I love you!
Good luck to all the campers out there.

At first I camped it with my Netherdrake but the wing flapping was annoying at high volume levels. I turned off all optional sounds in the menu but couldnt get rid of it.
If youre lucky enough to have a Headless Horseman mount, I recommend that due to its silence in flight.

So when you're camping at 36,66 Bor's Breath, what height would you suggest? I did some research but the only thing I was able to find out is that it flies higher than Vyragosa.
At the moment I'm camping at about the height of the half-broken platform. The one where nearby that Stormforged Tracker has its little tent set up. Is that more or less a good height?

First, little facts with my hunt :) Have 30+ kills of Vyra. The best shot that make was 8 kills on the row, 4 on spawn point. That was 7 months ago and after that i stop. Now try again, after kill of Vyragosa. I come back exactly 6 hrs go to camp Frosthold spot. Luck or no, in 14hrs there wasn't spawn and I believe that miss it. Go to Dala do 1 BG and just before go to sleep, try to go again and BOOM TLPD was found, but dead... I was sad to my self, spawn was at least 15:30 hrs latter. Now on 24.11 found vyra dead, after 6 hrs camp and try to patrul, found Vyra - personal kill 8:43 mins latter. On 25 early in the morning Vyra - Dead 04:37. The one guy catch TLPD on 25 13:41 ST. And my camp begin again 20:00 ST. New movie to watch, but don't move from the Frosthold. Tip for hunter can use Eagle Eye to check other way even spots - has unlimited range if far away can catch object. In 01:04 I think to go for fast patrol and 2 secs after TLPD spawn from the spot that I wait. And finally CATCH it. That was luck because is 2 spawns on the row of TLPD. Now in practice will say some advises:
1st be on spot.
2nd when read that TLPD can fly 280%+ I don't believe it, but now yes. I see it for my self. He fly a lot faster than Vyragosa.

TLPD Log Sheet:
11/25/10: 03:15pm - Vyragosa - Brunn -> engine path
11/26/10: 10:55am - Vyragosa - Behind Frosthold
11/26/10: 11:40pm - Vyragosa - Bors Breath
11/27/10: 11:25am - TLPD - Valkyrion
Story:
I started my camp at 11:00am. After the first kill I took a 5 1/2hr break and camped up untill the next kill at 10:55am
I went to sleep for 5 1/2 hrs and started camping again. ( This is because of the belief of a 6hr minimum to respawn )
I read a report that 5hrs 55minutes vyra spawned after a kill, which contradicts the 6hr rule. So just in case I started 30 minutes early. I think the reporters times were a little off though but oh well, better safe then sorry.
After a grueling rough 11hr camp, Vyra shows up again. Made the kill went to sleep for 5 1/2 hrs again. I woke up and camped just before a rolling restart, and started again after it. 11:25am omfg TLPD spawns above Valkyrion.
Camp Spots:
Engine of the makers and Frozen lake.
If you can only use one account go for the frozen lake, and make the odd pass over to the engine. The corpse stays for 30min unless skinned. TLPD corpse cannot be skinned. It's always nice to check if a body is around so your not wasting time in the 6hr no spawn window. Also if you are using 2 accounts the one you want to make the loot has to make a hit on the dragon. being in the party isnt good enough
Finally, GET NPC SCAN its necessary so you can do other things while wow is in the background. Just make sure you ENABLE background sound. I read a post someone missed the spawn cause they didnt have it checked off
I hope any of this information is useful for people still hunting.

Just got this bad boy. Killed the drake almost the second it spawned at the Bor's Breath Mountain spot which is 29,66. I was doing my normal fly through after doing some dailies and I noticed quite a few people at the Bor's Breath area either afk or flying around in circles. I had a feeling something was up and maybe that 6 something hrs ago Vyragosa or maybe even the Time Lost Protodrake was killed. So I stood by and did some flying around. Some priest tried to gank me while I landed to use my Faded Wizard Hat so I quickly killed him and flew up again. A few seconds later, I see something bronze, big and sexy coming out of the wall at Bor's Breath and my NPCscan is going bonkers. I jetted to him, threw a corruption, popped demon form and killed him in 3 seconds, just hoping no one tagged him first. My heart was pounding hard and fast as hell. A few moments later that same priest fly and I assumed he was going FFFFFFUUUUUUUU. There's a good chance that if he didn't try to gank me but instead was flying around he may have tagged the dragon first. Someone else came to the spot and I cannot imagine the disappointment that he was feeling.
Everyday I do the Argent Tournament dailies and whenever I get a quest to go to K3 I manually fly there and through Bor's Breath. Also after I'm done I go back there and wait because you never know. This is how I ran into Vyragosa a couple of times (including 2 spawnings). I'm not even going to talk about the hours I've spent just flying around and spamming a macro (Back before NPCscan was either known or created) or the hours I've spent camping the Bor's Breath spawn point with the sound turned up for NPCscan while watching movies or read books.
If you are serious about this mount, you need NPCscan and NPCscan Overlay as others have mentioned here. You also need patience and luck. If you are going to watch a tv show or read a book, just head over to Bor's Breath, turn your sound up and relax. Check in once and a while so you do not disconnect. Knowing the spawn points and flightpoints is all the skill you can get for this. The rest is luck.
Good luck to all the Time Lost hunters and thanks to all of those who have contributed to this thread.
Lets hope our luck continues the Cataclysm version of the Time Lost Proto Drake which is

so, i was on my way to do one of the dailes in SP for argent tournament, the one with kobolds.
so when i do this i allways check for Dirkee for mye frostbitten achivment, i have decided that Vyragosa is something i will leave for last. as she has a rather big route.. but then when i fly up from bor's breath up to engine of the makers my npcscan pops up and i says i have found time lost proto drake, so i click on it to get it targeted, and the secound i i get i targetd it flies out of reach and i have no idea what way it flew. so i fly around for some minutes trying to target it again, thinking that it just despawned or something. then i restart wow, to get npcscan reseted again, and decide ill go take a better look, and there it pops up again just over K3, luckily no one have been looking in the mean time, and i get my self a kill and th mount :) stopped looking for this over a year ago when i got over 100 mounts, but its allways nice to get one more mount. man i must say my heart jumped a good bit when i saw the popup the first time!

got my own on EU Bloodhoof Tuesday 30/11/10 - 00:51 realm time.. after about 1 week and 2day hunt.
( the 1st got ninjaed from me, sadly... i was taking noodels off from my oven when the tlpd spawned, i met hunter who wanted to help me to get the tldp, so we made an deal there, i get the 1st, and he gets the 2nd.. ) anyways, coming later in that topic..
so.. i noticed that i can give few advices how to get it ''reasonally'' fast..
my tactic based on sitting in spawns. and keeping my eyes on the flightroutes..
Bor's Breath Spawn:

Ulduar Spawn:
http://img535.imageshack.us/img535/346/wowscrnshot120110175856.jpg
you maybe think where they come?, they spawn inside the wall and comin from there, using the spawn sitting tactic, you actually claim 1/4 certain spawns to you. and multi patrolroutes in the sameway.. with multiple accounts its like 3/4 or 4/4 if your computer can run them.
little bit about Bloodhoofs Cycle (noted up vyragosas when killed, or saw corpse)
------------------ Place / date and realmtime / Alias------------------
Monday : -------- was only flying, didnt find anything ---------
Tuesday: Blue Protos // 23/11/10/02.35 // Vyragosa (spawned in Brunnhildar village)
Wednesday: Bor's Breath // 24/11/10/04.xx // Vyragosa (spawned front of Valkyrion, in ''lakespawn'')
Thursday: Valkyrion // 25/11/10/16.15 // Vyragosa (corpse found from Valkyrion)
Friday: Bor's breath // 26/11/10/17.45 // Vyragosa (spawned front of Valkyrion, in ''lakespawn'')
Saturday: Bor's breath // 27/11/10/10:59 // Vyragosa (spawned front of Valkyrion, in ''lakespawn'')
Sunday: Bor's breath // 28./11/10/01:06 // TLPD (spawned in frozen waterfall)
Sunday was the day when i lost the 1st Time-Lost... i was so shattered then.. blamed myself.. was totally mad.. wanted to throw my computer thru' the window.. cannot describe the feeling.. only was thinking.. '' week for nothing!, i have sitted one week in the spawn.. cause of this ! '' - it spawned under me there, but.. i was away.. fock..
screenshot from it:
http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/8241/wowscrnshot112810020544.jpg
went to sleep there.. really upset.. really pissed off.. BUT!
something reminded me about few words: '' never give up '' so i went to sleep..
Monday: Bor's Breath // 29/11/10/01:00 // Vyragosa, Vyragosa xx.xx both (spawned front of Valkyrion, in ''lakespawn'')
Tuesday Bor's Breath // 30/11/10/00:51 // Vyragosa (spawned front of Valkyrion, in ''lakespawn'')
Tuesday Bor's Breath // 30/11/10/16.31 // TLPD (spawned in frozen waterfall)
thats where my hunting ended.
http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/6552/wowscrnshot113010174058.jpg
and i got all the time i waisted back and i was happy.
Tips:
1. if you got more than 1 account, use it to sit in another spawn, if you dont. and you got reallife friends who playing wow, ask them to help ya.
2. dont give up!
3. ignore dirkee / skoll, those isnt important here. anyways tell in the general.
4. ppl hunting vyragosa for achievement, if you have killed vyragosa once, tell in the general that its there again and /w you to inv. ( helps competition between vyragosa and time-lost )
5. all what you need from vyragosa is the time when it got killed
6. if you just killed vyragosa, or some1 else did. you can sleep now 4-8 hours, or do smth else.
7. the more you move, the more you lose your change to get this mount, so sit. (if you're on flying ulduar and it spawns in frozen waterfall, you just lost all your changes to get it.... )
8. get npcscan & overlay, silverdragon to note things up, you're ready now.
9. its about 2 vygarosa in a day. , else its more like one vyragosa in +8-12hours
10. if you run multiple accounts from same exe, notice one thing. npc scan doenst work that fast it should be.
11. ye and dont forget the reputation snowfall lagers there, helps kinda much.. use gliffs, if you do like; heroic throw, snowfall lager, and you go in ground, you lose the aggro and it starts again fly away and you go out of combat. think and act fast.
goodluck with the drake hunt. did this actually cause some1 said that it doenst are in this patch, or doesnt even exist. well, it does.
i go do some heart attacks to them who still looking after it :P aim to atleast use 2/4 spawns for ya or even 3/4
ps. ty from all those who helped, specially Djowel & Uniikki.

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.

Last time i saw a kill was 14.24. Haven't seen any rares in the area now. The clock is 22.16. So i guess i need to wait for 24 hours

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 and picks them up.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 got him by camping 9 hours at the Bors Breath, the Frozen Waterfall.
I guess i was kinda lucky.
Downloaded NPCScan and NPCScan Overlay then Silverdragon to be sure.
Turned wow into Window Mode, watched a couple of series, went afk for a smoke and
i found him. He was flying in a very long hight, and i was close to die because i paniced with unmounting and made
a heroic throw. Lucky i had a healing potion.
Flying around hoping he will pass you is stupid, never heard of any luck when flying around.
He may be at the wrong place and the wrong time when you fly around.
And if you like spend 8 hours, dont stop. Its a stupid thing to give up because u already wasted alot of time.

After a 18.5 hour camp, Time-Lost spawned right on my face. I dismounted in air with an atk which landed and got the tag. However on the way down I miss clicked for my bubble and clicked divine plea instead, and died...I rezzed up, remounted and lost the tag to an Ally hunter...
I need a way to not go AFK. The mirror under the mouse or foil under the mouse doesn't work. Also my sound does not work while I have it in window mode and doing other stuff in the background.
I want to be able to sleep or have my laptop around and have the sound blasting but not go AFK. I can't think of a single way. I even tried to tape my back arrow and side around down. This had me circling around but still went AFK.
Any suggestions?

Ok, so i finally got mine. Took me like 7 mounts to get it, not every day camping doah; but keep in mind, addons do help. I managed to kill Vyragosa 2 times, Skoll like 4 times, and Dirkee once before I got face to face with Time-Lost. Caught him Right between Temple of Storms and Valkyrion.
Time-Lost Proto Drake Camping = ALOT of Time-Lost. ^^

Killed it today. Apparently my NPC scan was not working because I spotted it myself flying in the narrow pass just north of Valkyron. I had to dismount and taunt it mid-air due to it flying higher then my ranged abilities could reach.
My guildmate killed Dirkee at 10:00am
I killed TLPD at 2:00pm
9 hours till cataclysm =)

I have been hunting this beautiful mount now since last November (around 13 months) with an estimated time of camping of roughly 1300 hours.
I have only seen it dead 3 times in this entire span, and yet I have killed Vyragosa atleast 30 times, and Skoll around 20.
Somehow I still have hope that it will come, but I hope it is not just wishful thinking.
Wish me luck!

Probably a stupid question to ask, but how likely do you guys think that the TLPD will be found, now that Cataclysm is out? I assume much people won't be trying to find it, I take it.
Then again... I might be wrong.

There are two ways of getting it , being very lucky or camping for long time.
Killed vyra about 30 times , saw tlpd killed in front of my eyes twice, but after a two
months camp i finally got it.
If ur gonna hunt it i suggest choosing a camping spot and sticking there.The moment when u move from ur spot it could spawn there and u missing it.

Easiest way to get this is to camp bor´s breath and do it in the off hours (at night or early morning).

I got so lucky finding this guy. Found him within 24 hours of camping. Saw his corpse once, and then killed him at about 11:30 Server Time. Never once saw Vyragosa.
My advice to everyone, Get a friend or two, and have them camp a spot where paths will cross. I had my friend camp at 30,66, while I would fly around all the paths, just incase I missed him.
Good luck to those who are still hunting this rare beauty. =D

Just found TLPD at 12:23 am CST (today 12/14), realm Fizzcrank. Been camping Bor's Breath on and off for several weeks. Had finals this week so I'd been camping several hours at a time while studying. Went to get a drink and didn't put my headphones back on, then finally glanced at the screen and realized that he had already passed by. Luckily I frantically raced to Engine of the Makers and caught him passing over.
Good luck to anyone still on the hunt.

Ok guys, almost 1 month of farming this, every single day. I farmed from around 1 pm to 1 am every day. Mostly afk doing other things. As for the 6 hour spawn timer in between, i think its true. During this entire wait, i killed Vyragosa 16 times. It got really frustrating and really took the life out of you when you would see that dragon instead of time lost. Each time i killed Vyragosa, it was always on the hour or every half hour. I killed her alot at 1, 2 or 3... And occasionally at midnight or 1. On this day, 12/15/10, I killed Vyragosa at 1 pm. 7 and a half hours later at 8:30, Time Lost Spawned for me. I camped Bor's Breath above the little waterfall the entire duration. It occasionally spawns at Brunnhildar but i never bothered going there. The time lost spawned out of the mountain that is on the left when you are facing the cave. No slow fall needed, landed on the mountain, flame shocked him and he came down and i killed him. Felt really good and started screaming yes at my monitor =) nerd rage hahahaha. Good luck guys.

With
Cataclysm
now
live
I was looking, more than ever, to have a (Proto)Drake mount. Never did I think I'd stumble across
The Time-Lost
! Was simply completing my Argent Tournament dailies, flying through Bor's Breath... and there he was! I've been rep-grinding for awhile just to get a Drake and Lady Luck (btw she's an Orc) puts The Time-Lost in-harms-way!
As a Beast Master Hunter I just dove on the prize, mashing an arrow attack, regardless of the fact that this would dismount me on high; wasn't even considering popping a Snowfall Lager, too many khest'n Alliance camping the kill-zone! Hit the ground ouch & it turned on me but my Main Pet Tesla (AKA Skoll) drew ag & we wiped him!
Got His reins, a sack of gold & a Blue! Turned to see an ally pally who'd been sniffing around the area staring at me, so I lol'ed him accompanied with a
rude gesture
, mounted-up & flew off for the grounds!
FOR THE HORDE!

After 19 months of on and off trying I finally got my very own time lost.
Luckily it spawned right where I was camping
Spawned at 3:32 AM server time. My last confirmed Vyragosa kill occurred at 4:46 pm putting the time between spawns at roughly 11 hours apart.
Time for the pep talk part. It's been said a million times before but I really want to drive it home. I decided to sit down and camp the time lost as much as possible during winter break but it started to become strenuous. The thing that kept me going was the words of encouragement found in the comments on this very page. Every time I killed vyragosa I would look to this page for comfort and I found it. Dozens of people telling you that your day will come, you will get it eventually, it will all pay off in the end. These driving words kept me going and ultimately resulted in me receiving my very own Time Lost.
If you truly desire the Time Lost and have the resources available to go for it, do it. Never give up just because you are unlucky or are tired of seeing Vyragosa. Every Vyragosa kill you make is a kill on the time lost that would of been yours should it have spawned as it! The Time Lost will be yours if you believe.

So now that Storm Peaks is pretty much empty, I have started farming again(after farming for several months during WotLK without result).
I found Vyragosa two days ago, and when I aggroed her I saw a troll flying through the air smashing against the ground, dying. I thought this was very amusing as I thought I was completely alone and suddenly this troll drops to the ground out of nowhere :P
He didn't have the drake at this time.
Today at about 02:50(night time) I killed Vyragosa again. Nothing special about that, but when I returned to Storm Peaks six hours later(08:40 - some minutes before the six hour mark) to hope for a new spawn of either dragons, I see this same horde again.
He was flying low at the waterfall at Bor's Breath - on TLPD! Since he was flying so low, now had the drake, and that he was in Storm Peaks at all made me think he had just killed TLPD. I searched along all paths but didn't find its corpse.
I tried /poke and /question emotes to the horde player, but he didn't respond. So I thought I'd check his "Recent Activities" on Armory.
There it said he obtained the Time-Forward Talisman(that TLPD drops) ten hours ago.
I looked this up at around 08:45. Ten hours earlier would've been 22:45 the evening before. From 22:45 to 02:50 is about four hours.
I don't know if Armory show the correct time, but I think it does. And from what I understand most people think it's atleast six hours between their spawn.
Now, I don't have any evidence, but people can choose to believe me if they want to. Personally I think the spawns can be less than six hours between each other, but maybe the chance is really small.
I think that now that Storm Peaks is so empty(atleast on my realm... often only 2-3 people during peak hours, and it's a "Medium-Full" and sometimes "Locked" realm) it's much better to camp all four spawn locations with several accounts(or friends) and maybe see a pattern of where they spawn(if there is one) and maybe see a "new" minimum time between each spawn.

Spawned twice on my server on the same day, Friday Dec 17th 2010, someone else got him both times as I was just minutes too late. TLPD spawned at 2AM and was killed by a druid, killed Vyra myself at 7AM and then TLPD spawned again at 5:30PM that day and just missed him.

Alright, this is coming from an amatuer Time-Lost Proto-Drake hunter (having only about 6-12 hours of logged camping, and one Vryagosa kill,) but from what I have read of the 779 pages here, here is a little summary of what I have found:
Vyragosa and Time-Lost Proto-Drake
appear
to share a spawn timer, and at least both seem to have a lapse of somewhere between 6-12 hours between spawns.
From recorded kill times to my own personal experince, it seems to me that Vyragosa and Time-Lost spawn around the hour or half hour. From my estimate, it appears to spawn around 10-5 minutes before the hour or half hour, and despawning around 10-15 minutes after the hour or half hour.
Because of the release of Cataclysm, the number of people camping the drake seems to have fallen to that of general off times, including a feeling of isolation, for no one else may be farming the drake.
Bor's Breath is a popular spot to camp, but remember, there are still 3 other places that the drake could spawn. Mulitple accounts are useful, if avalible.
NPCScan is beyond a shadow of a doubt a useful tool, but if you are against the useage of add-ons for some reason, the macro
/target Time
/target Vyra
/stopmacro
/tell > %t <
The most important thing to remember would be that you will find it if you take the time to, so don't give up. That first Vyragosa kill will spur you to action, trust me.
So, thats my tidbit of data, hope it helps.

Got the Time-Lost Proto Drake roughly 2 weeks ago, fiqured I'd share the strat I felt was the best...
Basically ran Npcscan with the ID, turned off music, set the sound to play in background, then flew to bor's breath, I sat flying high enough so Alli couldnt kill me.
Dont have cords for location, but simply put, its bor's breath, where the lake is up top, you'll see the crest of ice where the waterfall starts to decend, with pygmy's? or w.e. on your left and right with tree's below "temple of storms" on your map.
Sit flying above that location between the crest of the waterfall, and the lake behind you the gulley to the lake bottlenecks so its a perfect location, just center yourself and look down that gulley/valley. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE SUPER HIGH UP....
I consistently saw guys insanely high, even if they did have npcscan go off, it would take way to long to descend in time to tag him... Hang out high enough so you dont get tapped by the other faction while eating your Hot pockets.
Minimize or if you have dual monitors like me, simply go off and do other things. I was at the end of my night, heading to bed, finishing a website, just about to log off, and alarms go off.
If you want to be hardcore simply put tinfoil under your mouse so you dont log out (laser will sketch out over tinfoil, but it may take a bit of time to angle it properly) or use other resources to keep you logged in/active.
Then head to bed near your computer....when alarms go off, bust out of bed in a cold sweat, and hope you're not too late.
He actually fly's pretty damn quick, tagged, since he fly's upward over the waterfall then the lake there's no need to fall far, and killed him easily.
I understand the feeling that he's "somewhere else" when you're just sitting there...Fight this urge to leave the location.
Camp...by doing what I suggest, you'll keep your sanity by doing other things and eventually get your TLPD.
I can 100% confirm he takes the route of the gulley in bor's breath, goes over the 2nd waterfall, and the lake where skoll spawns...but thats something other people have already confirmed as well.
Hope this helps....
This strategy scored my TLPD in roughly 1 week...and only 2-3 days of camping this location, same spot I saw vyrosa(sp?) numerous times, so I knew I was in the right place.
Strongly suggest this method. You'll keep your sanity.

After killing Vyragosa 4 times in 7 days, i was loosing all hope of ever getting TLPD. One night after server reset, beeing up all night, i camped at 26.73, started macro and went to sleep. At 15:20pm, macro alarm woke me up just to find out that some1 from the Aliance killed me. Another alarm woke me up 10mins after saying:"Time lost proto drake". Barely up, i managed to kill it. Thank U Aliance!

I know people will hate my guts for this, but I literally flew into Time-Lost on one of my quick patrols of its routes. I had been looking on and off for this for about four months, but I never actually camped it (as in sit on one spot and wait for it).
Circling all its routes and then leaving again is probably not the best way to get this....oh well.
I actually made this post just to say that it was coming up from Brunnhildar village, flying towards the Engine of the Makers. In all the time that I had been watching out for it, I also found Vyragosa on this spot about two times.
It spawned a few minutes after 18:00...I'm very happy with it. It's actually one of the mounts I see the fewest now that Cataclysm is out. I think I've seen more Ashes of Al'ar mounts than the TLPD mount :P

Got this bad boy last night 2203 PST -0103 server time on Drenden, at Bors Breath. 4 Hrs prior I killed Dirkee NPC Scan went off then and scared me, thought it was TLPD. That was my first encounter with Dirkee. At 2200 I went on to check and nothing, I flew around in a lil circle came back to my camping spot for the night and NPC SCAN went off again. I pulled him down and a few seconds later I was on my new mount. He spawned on the hill side like everyone says. Good luck on the hunt for the rest of you.

Wow, I've been camping this for over a year now almost 2, and I decided since Cataclysm came out, very few people would try to get this, and yes that is true...
Well it's a lot easier to get it now...
I've got a painful story to tell... I must just get this out...
I went afk for like 10 seconds to grab a drink from my fridge and came back to the T.L.P.D. laying on my feet slain, and myself dead because an Alliance warrior... What have I done to deserve this?

Thought I'd try to farm the blue proto drake from UP hc when I randomly /who Storm Peaks. After seeing no one was there, I thought I'd give it a shot. Imagine how I felt when NPCScan found me a dragon! Then imagine how I felt when it was Vyragosa. Not
quite
lucky enough this time.

KordEU
easily soloable as a warrior tank at 85 but i would advise in keeping two adds up once you bring him down from the drake so that you can kill them to pop a victory rush if needed. they won't do much damage so they are definitely worth the 30-40k self heal.

My hunt is finally over. It has been a long 13 months, 1500 hours or so.
My home has been Bor's Breath this entire time, and I have killed Vyragosa atleast 30 times. I finished up my camp and was in bed ready for sleep when NPC Scan went off. I expected it to be Vyra as usual, and to my surprise and joy it was my most fabled prize. It was coming from the waterfall spawn point. My heart is still racing and now it feels quite good to have this chapter in my life come to a close.

Been taunted for 2 years by this and I hunted casually throughout WotLK with no luck (despite knowing about him prior to release). Finally got him after 13 days of straight camping (minus sleep) on Kor'gall EU.
I was camping the lake for 9 days and moved right onto the mountain spawn on the 10th. There's no point camping the lake unless you're alone there because he could come from any of the 3 routes that go through Bor's breath and you don't have a guaranteed kill but by sitting on a spawn you will.
He came from either Valkyrion or Ulduar for me, so I was lucky there were no other campers sitting at the lake. I died twice since I forgot to equip my slow fall trinket and I was shocked that he made it just further than the abandoned camp without being tagged by someone else.
You can see Vyra and TLPD from the mountain, regardless of your view distance.
He is much bigger than the mount and almost as large as Vyra, which came as a surprise.
The most annoying thing about it is the randoms who fly by expecting a spawn right after a Vyra kill or during the 16 minutes they are sat there. Luckily, most of these people don't return but some do. The people who sit right on top of you are just as bad.
I have to say that this is
just as hard
to get as it was in Wrath, because the majority of people in Storm Peaks now are actively searching for it. Either way, good luck. Best advice I would give is to not leave Storm Peaks except when you absolutely have to (Work, sleep, hygiene). Doing Therazane dailies can cost you this rare.
P.s. To anyone saying the spawn can be less than 6 hours..
it always was
. People had reported 5 hour 45 minutes + before but post-4.0.1, it has almost certainly gone down to a minimum of 4 hours. I can't confirm it myself but some posts here and on other dedicated help sites seem to agree with this.

Wow there are just some horror stories of people trying to get this mount. Well it was so bad for me. I've been bored in Cata and decided I would try out for this mount. There was only one other alliance character in Storm Peaks and he was just leveling so I sat myself right outside the cave SW of the Temple of Storms (since all the youtube videos I watched showed kills there) and let NPC Scan do it's thing. I was taking a nap and it went off so I go to my computer and there was the drake. Kited him to a nearby ledge and killed him. I was AFKing there for about 2 hours. Easy day. 98/100 mounts now.

I killed Vyragosa at exactally 2:00 AM EST (11:00 realm time). I'm thinking that the next spawn will be around 8:00 AM EST or 2:00 PM EST.

Beginning my 3rd day of camping today.. I've killed Vy twice now..
I've wrote a few details down which might or might not help..
I killed Vy at its spawn point at 22:45pm 27/12/2010
It respawned the following day at 22:15pm 28/12/2010
I've camped there the whole intire 2 days and it had taken 23h 30min to respawn..
I've had other randomers camping at the toher spawn locations but there have been no reports and I have foud no corspes
I believe Vy has to spawn 2-4 times until TLPD spawns himself.
I might be wrong but its when im getting from camping here and watching how others got there TLDP.. The campers had to kill 2-4 Vy before.. & The lucky people just found him flying around.
*UPDATE*
Few minutes into 'not AFK' camping Vy flew towards me to his spawning point. killed 12:01pm

After 5 days camping this NPC for about 9 - 10 hrs a day I finally caught mine Today. There were times I was losing hope but I came here and it gave me the little spark of hope and so I kept going. Well after so long a wait it came my time to be the proud owner of a 2010 Time Lost Proto-Drake! ^_^ But I was mainly camping during work hours. Anyway I came home and I logged on just to camp him a little longer. And as soon as I log in BAM! NPCSCAN goes off and I look like crazy but my stupid laptop's graphics suck so much I couldn't see it so I go off from bor's to engine and came back around hoping to run into it. And I did! I was thinking it was going to be dead already.... but to my surprise that it was coming home to its new owner. and easy kill used Snowfall Lagger and just arcane shot it to death. I was so excited that I didn't even try anything else. GL to everyone finding him. Its much easier now than it was before. LVL 85 here I come.

It was 1 AM, Pacific time.
I thought to myself, "Hey I oughtta give that Time Lost Proto Drake a try!"
I port to Dalaran. Fly to Storm Peaks.
Press my macro once.
NPCScan and Macro pick up a freshly spawned Proto Drake.
I 1-shot him with a PoM Arcane Blast.
Loot my mount.
Feel guilty for all the people that spent hundreds of hours camping him.
I have now spent over 30 hours farming for the Cata equivalent of this mount. I would like to say it's karma.

I've camped since 9 PM yesterday and it's currently 8:11 AM EST
I've killed Vyra going along the Bor's Breath path towards the major frozen lake, not down the waterfall at around 8:00 AM EST.
The macro for the reigns show that it's supposedly been looted, I don't know if I should believe in that or not but I'll post my progress with the mount once I obtain or confirm a kill myself.

If you search Skoll in WoWHead, that is a great place to camp. Just stay on that spot and either make a macro from below, or watch the skies!
This is what I used:
NOTE: This only works if your a hunter, look below for non-hunter ways.
You should use a land mount if you intend to /dismount without dieing.
/clear target
/target Time-Lost Proto-Drake
/stopmacro
/tell
YOURNAMEHERE
> %t <
/cast Hunter's Mark
Non-Hunter tracking system:
/clear target
/target Time-Lost Proto-Drake
/stopmacro
/tell
YOURNAMEHERE
> %t <
/cast <put a ranged spell here, exp: Frost Bolt, Arcane shot, shoot, Fire Ball>
Works quiet well, if you don't have a ranged attack, and you can't train for guns of bows,
then when you target him LOOK UP.

So today a friend was showing me where to buy parts for the mechano-hog in storm peaks which we thought was in the K3 goblin camp. I'm tired as can be, and decide well Tol Barad is coming up in 48 minutes i'm going to set an alarm to make sure i don't miss it. I fly up into the air, start setting the alarm, for 6:45am my time, it's 5:01 realm time Mal'Ganis and suddenly I'm being attacked. Yes that's right the TLPD attacked me and now never having camped for him, or even bothered looking the TLPD is mine. Lol. The odds.

I ran right into him right above the frozen lake in Bor's Breath on Draenor. Killed Vyra twice in 24 hours - 3rd time the charm. The spawn rate really is 6-9 hours (at least it was for me). He was flying really low - lower than I thought he would be (like 40 yds max) and is really slow.

Found this bad boy flying counter-clockwise over the frozen lake at Bor's Breath around 9:00am server time.
Good luck finding yours!

My heart is still pounding.
Just tamed this drake at 3:15 P.M. (Eastern Time) on Thunderlord. I had been camping at the frozen lake for about 2 hours and decided to fly down to K3 and get my mail. Reached the frozen waterfall and NPC_scan went off. At first I couldn't find him and then all of a sudden there he was in front of me. I flew over him and then dropped, got aggro and landed. He landed right on top of me and it took only a couple of seconds to kill him, with my pet's help of course. :-) (Pet just happened to be Skoll.) It all happened very quickly; the excitement didn't happen until after.
Keep camping folks. I've been watching for him for 3 days, a fairly short time overall. He
spawned exactly on time
- a 6 hour schedule. Good luck,
don't give up, and camp camp camp!
I'm so happy I could burst! :-P

So after 11 months of looking for this bad boy, I finally got him.
1-3-11 I was on my Druid at 10:30am when Vyragosa spawned, killed her and logged, back online at 2:00 sat around again for 33 minutes when Vyragosa spawned again and I killed her again. Got a little irritated and logged again. about 3:30 I logged in on my Priest, and sat around while working for 9 hours at just as I was getting ready to head to town as I stood up my pc goes nuts I turn my priest around and coming towards me is the TLPD! Tagged and bagged at 11:19pm!
It was right below the frozen waterfall at BB. He was coming up from K-3.
Honestly I was freakin out the whole time cause I forgot to dismount and couldn't get my slowfall lager to work. Only to realize he had already started hitting me finally dismounted and started with Mind Blast the Shad Pain, and was surprised that he followed me all the way to the ground. Easy kill. And now I have him.
Good luck to all still hunting, now Im gonna get him on one of my other toons.
By the way this is the first time I have ever seen him. Period not even a corpse before this one.

Got this cool mount on the 1st Jan 2011 5.19am server time on Barthilas with my hunter. Intention was to tame Gondria, but after an hour or so, gave up and decided to go for Skoll at Storm peaks, did a /who check and I was the only one there, guessed all the party goers were having fun with the new year party. Turned on tracked dragonkin and flew to the icy lake, didnt expect Time Lost Proto Drake to fly past on top of me, my heart almost dropped. That was the best moment for the start of a new year!

Logged in today, my NPCscan went crazy just when I entered and it had found tlpd. My heart went up to like 100beats/second and I start looking for him, found him dead just outside valkyrion.
I'm a sad boy.

Started using NPC Overlay to help out with the search about 2 weeks ago.
Today, about an hour ago I was heading north from Valkyrion and NPC Scan went off.
Got the kill and the reins!
The overlay helps a lot because I normally did not bother going all the way around (clockwise) temple of storms and that's where he was.

FINNALY 350+ hours i have camped for this drake :D
I have camped it a average of 6 hours every day. But last summer i found him dead. That was the time i thougt about giving up and coming back in cataclysm. So in cataclysm i was there and i found some awesome people that will help me camping it. He was killing rare's and i was camping the drake. I have done patrolling and camping and i can say just do a patrol it highers your changes on getting him. So 21 december i was camping and i was camping on the normal spot on the frozen lake. I was flying and underneath me i saw a NASTY worgen :(. lvl 78 deathknight. So i went a second patrolling while patrolling i found 3 nightelfs and 4 humans + 1 gnome camping on diffrent spawn points. They were in the same guild. And i think the death knight has told them to come to him. 2 night elfs were on TLDP's and they were al spitting on me :( I was beaten by alliance. They didnt get the dragon but they had beaten up my will to get the dragon. The next days i was bored so i went training Jewelcrafting on my Mage. wen i hit the skill for northernd mats i went on my main a Miner + herbing. And i was flying trough the Storm Peaks. But my mom called me to help her with taking out the garbage and walk with the dog. So i came back and my brother has moved my character. I was angry but when i flown in the direction of Frozen lake my mood changed.... There it was in all his pride and glory. finally after 350+ camping on him there he was Untagged and nobody in Storm peaks. I taged him with some direct hits and drift down to the ground with levitate (Priest) 10 minutes later alliance arived. It were the guys spitting on me. They went brutal and didnt know who killed it. I mounted the drake and flew next to them. They were all saluting and cheering. The all logged off and made a horde character. They were all telling me that they respect me that i after the spitting still got it. Now im flying trough Deepholm looking for the new TLDP. But most off all im proud on my self and my friends that i got the TLDP.

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

After 26-27 days of camping I finally got him. seen him spawn 3 times, and found his corps last night. kill time 5:52am server:Mal'Ganis. If you really want this mount you need to be dedicated. I camped for approximatly 10-16hrs per day durring my month of solitude in this frozen place. If you wana camp somewhere, camp at Bors breath frozen lake. He spawns right out of the moutain on the right side. Second mini plateu up on the right if your facing downstream towards the giant frozen waterfal. Good luck and happy hunting. =)

Finally.
After at least 7 months of camping and hunting, I killed the Time-Lost Proto Drake.
I can't even begin to remember how many times I killed Vyragosa.
Location: 35,62
Server Time: 1:58 pm
Realm: Thorium Brotherhood
Add-on used: SilverDragon
I am free of this obsession, so now on to hunt the Phosphorescent Stone Drake.

It has ENDED today.
I've camped this beast hard at bor's breath since Cataclysm went live. I lost him once to a Belf Pally and found his corpse again on another flight path. But today's spawn was mine. A couple things I've learned.
Don't broadcast Vyra kills. Down him and skin him to get rid of his corpse.
Bor's Breath and the frozen waterfall are good points to camp.
Be prepared to put your WOW playing on hold if you're serious about this mount. 99.9% of you are NOT going to be that lucky guy to just fly around and run into this. For every 1 story posted here about someone just stumbling upon it there are hundreds more that have camped and looked and gave up.
Also the 6 hour respawn is a bit of myth. Spawns of Vyra and TLPD can happen within 3 hours of each other.
Put it in your mind you have to kill Vyra about 20 times and you should be able to get a Proto Drake.
Good luck and keep going.

Let me correct some of the tidbits in this post which besides few things is very accurate.
4.TLPD/Vyra "shared" spawn timer is 6-24H (it may be more but never less than 6H) Additionally it all depends how often other Northrend rares are killed on highly populated realms it may be between 6 -12H on realms which are not very populated spawns are usually between 15-24H. If u didn't see any of them in 24H you probably missed it. Spawns over 24H are very, very rare And exceed them by only few hours.
NOTE: AS OF THE SHATTERING PATCH, MINIMUM SPAWN TIME DROPPED TO APPARENTLY 3-4 HOURS, NOT SIX.
6. It's true they dispawn I followed Vyragosa from her spawn and she was able to make 3 full loops around Ulduar Ravine b4 I was forced to kill her. And she lived for good 20 minutes so i believe it's something around 15-30 before she dispawns, So yeah kill it ASAP unless u don't need, it let others get the mount.
8.None of them is Hostile to other creatures in Nothrend, or they would never make it past blue Proto Drakes outside Brunhildar Village. I've done extensive research and myself hunted for them for over a year and never heard of them being attacked or attack other creatures.
I post that reply because I figured first post on the topic with 317 ratings should be as accurate as possible. Everything else in this post is very accurate. Also I highly recomend that all those who are after Time-Lost Proto Drake check out website
www.TLPDresource.com
It contains very accurate information collected by owner of 7 TLPDs.
Good luck to everyone
P.S. Don't forget about FCFS - First Come First Serve rule when u camp your. TLPD :P

I actually got the mount almost a year ago on the Eldre-Thalas US server. This is what I did and luckily spent minimal time hunting for the TLPD.
I spent some time doing the dailies every day for a week in Storm Peaks and then did a patrol route around Brunnhildar, Bor's Breath, and the Engine of the Makers every 10 minutes or so to check for Vyra or TLPD.
The most important thing to know is when Vyra or TLPD were last killed. After either killing Vyra or finding a TLPD body, I logged out and came back on approx. 6 hours later. If by 7 hrs later my NPC scan didn't go off, I checked back at around 12 hours.
Both the TLPD bodies I saw were near the Engine of the Makers and the blue proto drakes just beyond that. They both spawned around 6 hrs from the previous Vyragosa spawn. This seemed to be the thing that worked for me.
I logged in to look for the TLPD on a server restart day (around 4:30PM I think) and BAM! My NPC Scan went crazy and he was right there flying around the blue proto drakes near the Engine of the Makers! If you don't know when the last Vyra or TLPD kill was, I would recommend starting your hunt on a server restart day and hanging out in the Storm Peaks until you find a body or a Vyra/TLPD to kill. I know I got lucky...but I hope some of the info I was using helps someone else get this mount!
*EDIT: Supposedly as of the Shattering (4.0.--), the minimum respawn time is 3-4 hours, not 6.

Im pretty sure TLPD shares its flight path with Vyragosa, ive killed Vyragosa twice so far:
one dead on 11:00pm (realm time), the other 2 days after dead on 5:00am (realm time) Emerald Dream.
11:00, was sighted below engine of the makers, flying over the icebound revenants near the cave and was flying past the cave to the south.
5:00, was sighted at southern Valkyrion and was flying towards Engine of the makers through the abandoned camp, which is were i killed him.
I was a level 81 prot warrior at the 11:00 one and i could use abilities such as rend and obviously not charge, but i simply taunted, to get him near the floor then i used Battle shout to generate some rage and used abilities like thunder clap, shockwave and Heroic throw. It was kind of tricky and sometime i had to jump to hit him, he uses movement slowing attacks and quite a hefty damaging spell so if your below 80 beware.
When i killed him at 5:00, i was level 84 as Arms so i had to switch into defensive stance to taunt him to the ground, i quickly changed back to battle stance and used batte shout, after generating the rage it was simple because i just used heroic throw to silence him when he used the frostbolt and then shattering throw, seen as though he only has 19k hp i used deadly calm then bladestorm (whilst jumping) if you dont jump with most attacks they wont hit, best to keep jumping.
Sorry no information on TLPD im gutted i didnt find him, but i found it best to camp at southern Valkyrion for about 15-30min then move past the abandoned camp on the way to engine of the makers, just to have a quick look around the place just incase either rare dragon is there :).
Hope this helps some of you guys to defeat Valkyrion in the search for TLPD.

Hey Guys,
After reading all your posts, I decided to sign up @ Wowhead to tell you my own story.
This evening I decided I wanted a dragon mount as well so I searched on Wowhead where to find which one and here I am.. 6:00am and no sleep. I've been camping Bor's breath for 4 hours now.
One thing I noticed is that at 4:00AM I heard the sound of a dragon and 5 minutes later Vyragosa came into my screen. I'm gonna leave my pc one with full volume to see when next spawn will be, I will keep you guys posted.

Could anyone confirm that the TLPD is still unskinnable since 4.0.3? Since I just got whispered by a dude who claims he skinned it but I don't really believe him since I read here it's not skinnable, could have been something that's been changed since Cata though. I'm not sure since I'm a pretty fresh camper, haven't seen the real TLPD deal yet so I can't confirm it myself.
Thanks in advance, and for all of you hunting for this beauty, good luck and don't give up, I'm sure I won't!

Heh funny I did the same thing, but I'm on Darksorrow EU.
Btw don't know if anyone knows this, but does the looting of the reins show up on the armory in the way of Playername looted Reins of the Time-Lost Proto-Drake?
From my experience most of the people around Storm Peaks shouldn't be trusted if they have 'info' on the TLPD, unless they can actually prove it.

In many realms, also in mine, I see that 6h min spawn time is removed. This mean Vyragosa and TLPD can't be UP at the same time, but after kill Vyra, TLPD can be UP in less time. For example: 1h after Vyra is killed, TLPD shows himself or Vyragosa again.

Just wrangled this baby at 6 p.m. realm time on Detheroc. 30,65. Bor's Breath
I was camping in two locations: Bor's Breath at 30,65 and at the Engine of the Makers right above the hole. I had been camping for only a couple hours because I was unfamiliar with this mount until last night when I spotted someone on it while I was camping Aeonaxx in Deepholm. So I read up about it on here before logging for the night.
Then this morning I decided to begin camping for it because it seemed easier to obtain than the phosphorescent stone drake in deep. After only a few hours he popped. Npcscan alarm went off, I saw the tag Time-lost Proto-Drake, and began to look for him. Was in no hurry because I was the only one around. When I turned around to face toward Dalaran, he was flying right in front of my face. I was so stoked. Flew in his grill, got aggro, took him to the ground like he was my dog on a leash, and easily killed him. Also got the Time-Forward Talisman of the Champion.
Hope this helped and good luck to ya'll.

Ok so after a long time of hunting on and off i have finally gotten this sucker. All the good advice on here has helped. A few things should be taken with a grain of salt, Not everyone gets this rare elusive mount on the 1st , 2nd or 500th day of camping. But if you really want something weather its the time lost or the white hawkstrider or Raven lord , my only advice is dont give up. Wile it is a smart idea to take breaks in between camps to make your self some gold , do a dungeon or two with guild mates, Dont give up. Download Npc_scan and Silver dragon and what ever other add on youll need ( i just used npc scan) Camp a reliable are ( Water fall in Bor's breath right in front of The Village ) and sooner or later he will appear. Now mind you i would camp all sorts of crazy hours of the day. I have killed Skoll more times then i wanted and have killed Vary about a total of 7 .times. If you get nothing more from my post then just dont give up , thats my best advice i can give ;) Good Luck to all the hunters of the rare mounts...for some day that golden ring will be yours -

Started my search (Khadgar server) for TLPD 2 days ago, was manually searching with a /tar Time-lost macro while flying at first and happened to find Skoll just outside of the southern gate of Valkyrion. Later that night I read through this thread more and downloaded npcscan.
Yesterday morning I camped in Bor's Breath near Bor's Fall for probably not more than an hour and Vyragosa flew by me while I was in the kitchen getting coffee, LOL. I came back to the computer and brought down Vyragosa and got the achievement. I haven't seen any either of those 2 or TLPD since that point. Probably about 15 hours of camping since i got Vyragosa. Just camping out in various areas while working on my other monitor the past 2 days so the camping isn't bad, but the anticipation is killing me. :) One day the NPC Can will will go off again!

Story of my life... I play a rogue on ysera.. I been looking for this drake for about a year now.. Take a sweep here and there.. Some weeks id do a 5 -6 day camp out.. So i started back up on wow after a 3 month break... got to 85 ... and decided why not.. id go and do a 5 day camp... I take adderall so it does help me stay awake.. So i started camping id say 1/8/2011 and was heart broken on 1/15/2011... i killed vyra 6 times throughout the 7 days camping.. put my heart into getting this drake.. how i would do it is id kill vyra and when i killed her id sleep for 6 hours.. wake up and wait till next spawn.. some spawns are like 12-16 hours.... I do have 310% speed and can cover the spawns points in about 3-4 min. with my own route.. On 1/14/2011 i killed vyra at 9:30am when i logged on.. this was my 6th kill.. i never heard vyra spawning more than 6 times.. i kinda knew the next spawn would be TLPD.. So i went out did dailys came back at 3pm camped till 6pm.. had a friend sit there from 6-9pm so i could sleep...logged on at 9... stayed till 10pm.. nothing.. then i set my alarm clock for 2:55am.. cuz from what i read TLPD has a hard on for spawning at 3am... now obviously im going by my gut.. yeah it could of spawned between the times of 10pm-2am but i was tired still.. well i didnt wake up till 3:15.. logged on real quick.. to find my Time lost proto drake Dead (41,66) friend whispering me telling me someone killed it 12 min ago.. which means it spawned at 3.. and i most likely would of killed it if i would of woke up to my alarm clock.. lol.. irritates the hell outta me.. Now its 1/17/2011.. on my 4th vyra kill.. only thing i can say is don't give up.. im sitting on 50+ vyra kills.. No TLPD.. and i havent gave up yet.. lol.. I know i should.. but ill get my chance..

Vyragosa came by again a couple days ago. I followed for a while to see it since I already had credit for another kill. Nobody around after a couple minutes of following it so I attacked and immediately somebody showed up, tried to invite them to group so they'd get credit, then saw they were horde. Sorry hordie. I tried to invite you. :( LOL
Camping again today on my PC as I work on my laptop. Just waiting for npcscan sound to go off.

I was reading up on the new mounts for Cata when I remembered this one. I could never get it in Wrath and gave up because of competition, but decided last night "Eh, why the hell not?" so camped at bor's breath until 1 am (server/real time). Nothing. I called it a night (had been camping since 9 or 10) and decided to devote a whole day of camping today since I got so much gear in dungeons yesterday.
Anyway, I set myself back up in Bor's Breath on his spawn point and waited. After awhile, the bf asked me to play magic with him so I closed down my computer to take a break. BF ended up playing a videogame instead so I walked down to the store for a soda. I came back, logged back in, and had a heart attack.
Only Vyragosa, though. She was flying right across my screen heading left (so on the inner, clockwise path I believe). I flew over and flew through her to aggro her and pulled her to a mountain. Unfortunately, she knocked me off and never came into my range. I vanished and flew back up but same thing happened. An undead killed her before I got the chance (I did try to get a mark on her with throw though but no dice). I skinned it and I'm now back on my spot to camp.
She died at 3:35 Eastern standard time on Trollbane (also 3:35 server time).
I will not give up until I get this mount! I'm going to go set up the bf's computer and have him fly around the different areas every hour so I can keep my character where she is!
I definitely think this will be easier now that cata is out but there's still competition from people with the same mindset. Don't give up, campers!

I got him !
During the camping time, I also read most of the comments here, loved the "never make noodles again" screenshot.
The only real piece of data I can give, is that after a server reboot that might reset something, I only say that because there were several server reboots going on, a horde chap had collected his, 24hrs before, another chap got his about 2hrs after the normal Tuesday night shutdown, and I got mine 8hrs after that, and there had been one of those 15min reboots in between.
Thats a lot of TLPD and no other rare spawns in a short amount of time.
Anyway since all those stories here inspired me to give it a go, I thought I'd share mine.
After cata it was definitely quieter in Icecrown, so it seemed worth a shot. I installed the normal stuff, npcscan, npc-overlay and I had Wow running in the background while working on other things, so camping fitted perfectly.
I was very lucky it only took me three days.
I was camping roughly here:
Bors
breath
(its someone else's photo). Since that covered most of the paths.
That morning TLPD had been seen and killed, so I was not expecting anything, but I was still there, Wow running in the background, I was alt-tabing occasionally to keep it from disconnecting.
In the afternoon I alt-tab'ed and npcscan was up, showing the TLPD, the siren hadn't gone off - damn! it seems I'd turned the speakers down.
I then furiously flew round the TLPD routes trying to find it, after about 5min (it felt like 20) of hectic looking I found it, just south of Valkaryn, I moonfired it, went for the snowfall larger button - missed - and died when I hit the ground.
So I raced back to my body from the graveyard (fortunately it is close) resurrected, and started flying off in the direction the TLPD went (now my hands are really shaking) . I find it again, try moonfire, and drink the lager - moonfire fails, out of range, but I'd drunk the bloody lager and was now was falling softly to earth as the TLPD sailed off into the distance.
I find it again, check my buttons, and realise the bloody lager is still on a cooldown. So I raced along repeatedly landing and trying to get it via moonfire from the ground, eventually in front of Ulduar I was in range and it worked.
The fight from then was easy, but boy was the adrenalin pumping and my hands shaking, so I am glad it was an easy fight, since I was making really stupid mistakes.
So the other bit of advice, create that macro, someone earlier on suggested, about fire + drink the lager in one keystroke :-).
and good luck with your hunt.
Cheers - Delthan (Skywall).

I've Seen Vyra four times in four days now at the Frozen Lake across multitude of time frames, I'm definitely in the right spot, just gotta get the correct spawn.
If nothing else knowing when she last died lets me go off and do some other stuff for a couple hours.

Drak'thul server: 10:30pm
Wow, I just got it. Best spot to camp is approx. 30, 66. Used npcscan and SilverDragon. SilverDragon is nice because of the built in timer.
Camped for a total of 4 - 5 days or so.
1/13 hit lvl 80 and started seriously camping. Didn't see Vira nor TLPD.
1/14 still no sighting; went out of town
1/16 Vira kill at 11pm
1/17 Vira Kill at 11pm, stayed up all night studying; servers went down at 8am next day and no additional sighting
1/18 day of server maintenance; 4pm killed Vira; 10:30 TLPD spawns over my should, pretty much descending down from Frosthold.
Thought I was going to have a heart attack. My hands were shaking so bad and I was having a hell of a time trying to find level ground to fight on. Almost died, not because TLPD hits hard, but because I was just sitting there getting beat up because I was so paranoid about tagging it before anyone else that I forgot to land and fight back. Also, I ended up sliding down a good ways down the mountain, so that didn't help anything. Didn't help that I pulled up something in the middle of my screen in all of the frenzy of activity, either. Anyways, best rush in WoW I've ever had.
Camp at those popular coordinates. Don't get nervous from all of the traffic of others searching for it. Next to no one else had the patience to just sit and wait like I did. No offense to those who have been looking forever, but I was the only one there on a consistent basis. I stayed in one spot while I watched everyone else go flying by over and over. I think I also bagged most of the Vira kills, so camping is probably better than patrolling. Those coords, as has been stated over and over again by others on this board, are at the overlap of 3 known paths of TLPD and one spawn point. That's probably your highest probability location right there. Again, having to study at my comptuer made it convenient. So there you go.

It might just be a coincidence but I see a lot of people getting it at 12, 2, 3 and 5 (am and pm) so I pay extra attention to my screen at those times because of it. Vyragosa spawned around 3am last night (didn't get the kill D: came back to the icon on my screen but she was already killed and skinned, checked the combat log).
I hope while I'm camping I can get at least one Vyra kill in, I need the achievement haha.
Four days, two vyragosa sightings, I'm not quitting now and this laptop is not leaving my side today! I'm going to set myself up in the center of the house (Bathroom and kitchen very close by) so I can keep an eye on it and I'm not logging out or leaving the house no matter what :D

Just got it today on my druid, camped for it several times with my hunter on SS. But today i was logged on SH on my druid and i just went up to have a look. As i was there i found group for Stonecore, and did it. Afterwards i thank the group and camed back to Storm peaks the NPC scan screamed Time lost prot, i actually started to shake and was really afraid someone aswell spotted him but couldn't find anyone around so i followed him abit to a safe spot and started to nuke... Finally i got a flying mount on my druid and it sure is a special one :)

I found and killed Time-Lost on a Saturday at 5:04 realm (Dawnbringer). He was coming from Brunnhildar toward the drake field. Two hordies watched him die and spat on me as I mounted my new drake and flew away :)
BTW: While it is possible that Vyragosa and Time-Lost share a spawn timer, Dirkee does not. I have seen both him and Vyragosa alive at the same time.

On my 6th day of waiting for this mount I finally got it! I would wake up, log in, and stay logged in, never leaving Bor's Breath, until I had to leave for one reason or another (sleep, going out, etc.).
Here's my log. It's not much, just my sightings while I waited. All other days were completely uneventful.
Jan 17 -3:35PM: Vyragosa at bors breath. Killed by undead, skinned by me (couldn't get in range D: )
Jan 19: 3:00AMIsh Vyragosa spawns and is killed by other rogue.
Jan 22: 3:30am: TLPD, my kill!
Jan 22: 3:32am: Stormwind, showboating
Again, the entire time I was camping, I stayed in Bor's Breath. Occasionally I stole my boyfriend's account to have him fly around the storm peaks but mostly it was just me. Don't give up even if other people camp the same spot as you, either.
Everyone, do not give up. You will get this mount if you are determined enough. Stay in ONE SPOT and do not leave it until you get the mount! Keep yourself logged in, play in windowed mode, and do other things online as much as you can. Check back every few minutes to make sure you don't go afk. You will get this mount.
Now I gotta go back and camp to get my vyragosa kill haha

Okay everyone, I am going to apologize in advance for the unaturaly long post, but here is a new theory to rattle the cage (so don't think I'm crazy).
I have read just about everything on the internet about this elusive NPC (spawn points, paths, and even NR rare elite spawn caps) and have found everyone traveling down the same path of connecting TLPD to Vyragosa, and generally a some-what random spawn timer. I have been seeking this mount for quite some time now, like most, and have yet to be successful, tracking Vyra kills and camping countless hours (6-16) a day for the last few weeks (due to slow time at work and getting stuff done around the house. I do have a life and normally am not just sitting in front of the screen while camping, thats what NPCscan and high volume is for, lol). I have gone about this the same way as everyone else (unfortunate enough to just not stumble across TLPD) and have been pretty convinced that it would all happen in a matter of time as long as I stuck to it, until yesterday, so here it is.
Like previously stated, for the last 3 weeks I have camped hardcore for this drake with no success, tracking my Vyra kills, Vyra corpse discoveries, and hours, trying to estimate when the next oppertunity for a possible TLPD spawn would be (using the estimated 4-6 hr no-spawn window, which may even be significantly shorter since the realease of Cata). I have read in numerous places that NR may have a 3 rare spawn cap (meaning that if there are 3 rare spawns at any given time throughout NR that no other rares would spawn until any of the existing ones were killed). Over that last couple weeks this has seemed to be correct, since Vyra is one of those rare spawns and has had extremly long spawn times on my realm (Vek'nilash) recently. Yesterday (while pondering this) I decided, due to the low population of NR, that i was going to kill some time and try to help the spawn timer be as minimal as possible by making sure that the rare cap was never satisfied (and also completing my "Frostbitten" achievment in the process). I started flying between every land of NR, hunting the rares with NPCscan and the overlay, it made it quite easy to find them, and every so often hearthing back to Frosthold to camp a little while and make sure nothing spawned. I was indeed finding 3 rares throughout NR at a clip searching the whole continent about every hour or so. Every time they were new ones, no respawns of previously killed ones. Over the course of a few hours I had killed every spawn with the exception of the 3 from Borean Tundra (lots of alts running around leveling up as they just enter NR and probably stumbling across them very often questing) and 2 from Sholazar Basin (hunters always running through and camping to catch their prized pets, which I have all 3, lol, so I know). I had killed Vyra yesterday morning at 6:45 AM server time (before I started my "rare hunt"). Then I killed her again at 4:10 PM server time (probably missing a spawn in the middle due to my hunting). This is where everything I though I knew about TLPD spawns got thrown out the window for a second (may have just been coincidence and not my "rare" hunting) but I came across TLPD's corpse at 4:56 PM server time (JUST 46 MINUTES LATER!). That means, although sharing possible spawn points and paths with Vyra, TLPD cannot be on Vyragosa's spawn timer, which also means that it does not replace Vyragosa as a spawn,they are most likely not seen together due to the fact that both are partially random spawns and pretty much hunted to extinction as soon as they spawn. The randomness of TLPD spawns could just be due to how long it takes for each rare spawn in all of NR (Vyragose being one of them) to get killed once, which with me killing them all yesterday meant that it took less than a day, or like the past weeks, taking a few days to even see a TLPD corpse.
Like I said, this is only a theory and only one that has come up in light of yesterdays events. TLPD may be tied to Vyragosa or be tied to all the rare elites of NR instead of just one (Vyragosa). I am going to try and test this theory some more and see what happens (hopefully making a connection). I'm hoping that some of you that take the time to read this will test it as well and comment back. It would be nice to find out that this elusive spawn may be able to be forced more than we think. If I find out any evidence supporting this theory in my testing I will be sure to post it. Thanks and again, soooooo sorry for the lengthly post. I only used half the amount of supplied characters though, lmao! Looking forward to seeing any results posted.

this is interesting and seems to trow a lot of what we know out the window. I killed Vyragosa at a little after 10 this morning. about 15 minutes ago 1:30 (both server times) someone killed her again, near the same spot. I saw the dead body of the second kill though did not witness the kill myself. This is not a 6 hour time difference. Not even close.

Happy Day for me.
I work from home so I've recently started camping this beast. I'd been using NPCScan and just hanging over the frozen lake. Just leave my PC on low vol in the background. I work on a laptop anyway. Occasionally look around to keep the connection up.
This past weekend was kind of depressing because he popped there literally 15 seconds before the server shut down for rolling restart. I took the shot and was dismounted then disconnect. When I came back up, I was actually back on my mount where I had been camping. No TLPD. So close. I was bumming big time.
This morning I logged in to my spot, grabbed some coffee and began the work day. Not more than 5 minutes after beginning work, I noticed movement on my monitor out of the corner of my eye and the damned thing was filling the screen. It took a second to register in my mind what I was seeing. At that exact moment NPCScan went off so I must have been right on the spawn point. Took the shot, hit my snowfall lager, and had it almost dead before we hit the ground.
This was on Shandris at about 7:50 am east coast this morning.
Just keep looking. It's out there.

Got it today while going on Frosthold to find the elder for the Lunar festival. The exact time was 18:51:10 and found him around 36.66. Been farming that alot in W.O.t.L.K. but after some time i stopped. So today i thought to give it a try so while flying from K3 to Frosthold I spammed "/tag time" and got it him flying just above the ground.

After an hour of research here reading almost every comment about Time-Lost I started camping it. I was doing loops around the Foot Stepps and the harpy area Bor's Breath which according to the majority of posts was where I needed to be. I found the corpse of Vyragosa the day before my wind-fall so I knew that was a good sign.
After 3 days of camping him I got him! I had gotten caught up doing the Coin of Ancestry quests and stayed up much later than I planned to. I wanted to get my 50th coin so I went to K3 in the storm peaks b/c it was the closest to Dal. Since I was there I decided to do 1 loop of the target zone for good measure. Just as I was heading into Bor's Breath from the Foot Stepps when my Macro hit pay-dirt! I had a heart attack, but then focused. I caught up to him & tagged him. Super easy kill. I'm a mage & wasn't even wearing my full armor. I still had on a dress I got from the coin quests (because I forgot I was wearing it lol) Took like 4 spells & he was down. I was literally shaking.
There were some people near by who saw it. They said their hearts were pounding. One guy, it was his first night of camping it. I was in such a good mood I gave him 1000g. I got lots of congratulations from those around. It was about 11:13pm PST on Blackwater Raiders. I'd really love to know how many have been found on my server. All I can say is keep at it! I had a very hard time sleeping last night haha.

3 more vyra kills and not even a sighting of TLPD. I'm beginning to wonder if he even spawns on Azjol'nurub. No kills by anyone else and no one on here mentioning they got him on here. Basically 24/7 camping for the last 5 days. Has anyone killed or seen him on Azjol'Narub?
well 1 hour and one minute after this post was originally posted I signed off to clear my cache and came back on then flew around the route that goes over bor's breath... there he was dead. he must have spawned while I was clearing my cache. as much as I want to I'm not giving up.... I WILL get my drake....
another Vyra kill at 10:28 am 1/26 snowdrift plains 30.5 49.6
Killed Dirkee then within 30 minutes saw Vyra spawn at the top of the mountain over the waterfall killed her... still no sightings of TLPD.
3 weeks today of camping every available hour over the frozen lake. Killed Vyra 8 times, skoll 3, dirkee once and only seen TLPD once dead... still hanging in there...

I finally got my Time-Lost today. I'm in awe really.
I must have gotten that zeppelin to Borean then flown to Storm Peaks about 40 times in the past month, not to mention roughly 50 hours spent searching during LK. Somedays I was at myself wondering why I was still continuing to search. I killed Vyragosa about four times, saw her corpse several other times, usually near Valkyrion, sometimes at Engine. I only saw TLPD once, but a corpse, and Dirkee once as well who I killed.
How I got my TLPD has me feeling strange. Lately the mentality had grown on me to just visit Storm Peaks in bursts throughout the day, since I found that throughout some nights there would only be two or three 70s questing there, so waltzing in a few hours into the night with the hopes no one was there would often lead me to finding Vyra or a corpse immediately, so I did that for the past week after nearly a month of camping Bor's Breath and following my overlap mod. I had first read of someone's kill down past Bor's and Valkyrion, sort of near a cliff near Frosthold, one space of mountain perched there at the end, I even saw a video of him dead once there so I became familiar with this spot but my mind still had me at other locations like near Ulduar.
I did kill him there though. His flight was slow, through Bor's then a sharp left to that end perch.
From what I can tell is that he's seriously random. I spent good 12 hour periods looking for him usually after seeing Vyra killed 6 hours prior. I held onto that 6 hour mark even though it seemed to come whenever it pleased, though after at least a few hours from the last kill of either or. In my mind it's like a 1/10 chance everytime that timers runs a random number. A rare spawn of a rare spawn as people have said.
Funny how worked up you can get an aspect of a video game. That NPC scan noise had my heart going a few times.
I seriously didn't think it was worth the time after a while but just visit at odd hours and check that /who, have your cache cleared and you will find it with time.

Killed on Dalvengyr-US at 5:41 pm, 1/27/11
After about 6.5 days of 24/7 camping, four corpses and a little under a dozen vyragosa kills, I finally got my kill. I was camping at the frostlake spawn, though he flew from bors falls. The previous TLPD spawned exactly 23.5 hrs earlier also at bors falls, except my friend got the kill. DO kill rares, it reduces the spawn timer drastically. On the first 5 days of camping, the periods of time between vyragosas was approximately 10-20hrs. However, immediately after a vyragosa kill, I took a fly around northrend and killed 12 of the 23 rares. It reduced the spawn to 4 hours! I suggest camping with a group of friends to cover all four spawns. Its the most amazing feeling to hear npcscan go off. I died after dismounting because my fingers were shaking, but I was the only one in the zone so it was mine.
Good luck to all! If you are patient and are willing do devote time, you WILL get it.

During wrath saw it about 4 times, dead at Bor's fall. Once tagged it but got knocked off a cliff by a shaman -.-
Today whilst waiting for an ulduar random ach group to fill i flew round a little looking for it, gave up + tabbed out.
Tabbed back in + my npc scanner was going mad, but it was nowhere in sight, flew round for a mad 5minutes heart racing till I found it again. ^_^ Was around 21.30 server time. Bor's fall is the best bet, I tabbed out there so he must have spawned there, circled round a little + come back to there were I found him again.

After over a year I finally got him. I hunt rare spawns and found him the hardest to get. Strange mob this one. It was very hard for me to get aggro on him for some reason. Had a couple chances to get him but missed it by minutes.
Had one chance about 4 months ago but died trying to get aggo and did not have any slow fall pots. If he's flying high and others r close you better have them equipped. Also hit him with a dot if you can to hold aggro. I'm a hunter and had a heck of a time pulling him down. Died twice trying cause both times I flew in front of him to pull him down and he knocked me from my mount. When I rezed he was dead. I discovered later that there was a bad bug in that same area that i tried to get him. I reported this to the Wow team and they fixed it when Cata came out. Thank you Blizz xD.
There were groups camping him almost every nite for weeks and that makes it harder for the ppl that try to do it solo.
Finally at 12:46 am server time he spawned right in front of me from the mountain beside frozen lake. I was practicing some shots with a macro that i made just for him and Vyra and had just used a slowfall pot so it was on cooldown when he spawned. I quickly checked for other ppl that might be around camping for him, and didn't see any in my tracking so I proceeded to follow him as he flew through Valkyrion.
Once again I had trouble getting aggro. I stopped and shot him in the village on the rooftop of one of the houses there and it didn't phase him. He kept on flying? and yes it did hit him!
Then i saw a mage behind us on my tracking. My pot was still on cooldown and I was too high to attempt to take him down; just a few more seconds and id be low enough. Decided to take a chance, was worried the mage would get him. I had to fly in front of him to get aggro. This time he did not kick me off my mount. Then I shot him with my macro and fell bout 100 yds. Hit at half health and managed to bring him down easily in the gulch before Snowdrift Plains.
This mob is worth all the time and headache he gave me. He was a challenge.
As others have said don't give up if you're hunting for him. It will happen eventually if you are patient. I wasn't kidding when i said i tried for over a year. To me when you miss a chance at a mob like this I had to keep trying regardless of why I failed.
I advise not to use both scanners when you're hunting for him. Use one or the other but together for some ppl they dc and have other probs when both of them find a rare and the alerts go off together. The ones that are lucky enough to get this mob when it attacks them as they are questing in the area or just flying through not really looking for it, need to understand that they are very fortunate to not have to camp for it for hours, weeks, even months for some ppl.
However in my opinion he is definately worth the time lost.
My thnx to all that posted here, it helped me immensely. Iv used this site for over 2 years and it has been really helpful to me.

I finally got him after trying for over a year.
I had many problems with this mob. Addon probs when the scanners went off and aggro probs in getting aggro on him or flying in front of him and getting kicked from my mount and dying.
I had one other chance to get him and I failed as I was kicked from my mount and had no slowfall pots equipped.
He spawned at 12:45 am on a Saturday nite. I had been trying out a new macro and had just used a slow fall pot so when he spawned I had to follow till my cd was up. I was hoping that no others were close.
He flew into Valykrion Village towards the gulch. I tried to hit him from the roof of one of the buildings there but to no avail. Followed him into the gulch and got him there. There was a mage behind me so I was very happy that I managed to bring him down even though my cooldown wasn't finished on my slowfall pot. He flys lower into the gulch so I managed to hit him with my macro and didn't die when I dismounted as I was closer to the ground.
This mob is very challenging and well worth the time lost to get it.
My thnx to everyone thats posted here it helped me immensely with my hunt.

TLPD Kill on Shadow Council, 1/30/11 at 12:43 ST.
I've been camping her since the day Wrath hit, but only went crazy three weeks ago. I parked on her Frozen Lake spawn point and waited for 12-15 hours a day, every day. Killed Vyragosa more times than should be allowed.
I did a backflip when I tabbed back in and saw her. Easy kill, best mount.
Good luck, folks! Just a matter of time.

I have been camping TLPD for months. For the last 2 months heavily.
I have posted my horror stories before, so ill skip those. I have seen TLPD a total of 6 times, 3 alive, 3 dead. And like people have said before, he stays alive for seconds after he spawns.
Anyway! I got home from work this morning expecting the servers to be down (2-1-11, Tuesday) and they weren't. So I log my guy in, who is always in Stormpeaks. I look around and see 2 Allys hovering around me. I was only gonna stay on for about 20min. I window out and read some facebook stuff. I then have to go to the bathroom, and think to myself 'I bet I'll come back to a dead TLPD at my feet'. Well, I come back to nothing and think awesome. I go back on Facebook and all of a sudden I hear my NPCScan go off. I look at my screen and see ....TIME-LOST PROTO DRAKE! I click and search for his location, FIND HIM. Rush to him, (I am shaking) tag him in mid air, i bubble so I dont die falling, and QUICKLY down him. I am screaming "holy sh*t" and "f*ck" so loud and often my dog runs and hides. I wanna thank everyone on this board for your information provided AND some peoples words of encouragement.
If you play on Mannoroth server here are my notes:
All of these times are 100% accurate. And they are the times of the mobs DEATH.
12-3 TLPD 6:36pm
12-4 Vyra 1:22pm
12-4 Vyra 11:26pm
12-10 Vyra 5:34am

12-23 Vyra 3:15am
12-23 Vyra 10:57am
12-23 Vyra 10:14pm

1-21 Vyra 9:13am

Killed the drake at 3:15 PM today on Shattered Halls. It flew north through the valley over the frozen lake between Frosthold and Brunnhildar Village (Also know as Bor's Breath).
The funny thing is; this is the exact same spot where I spotted Vyragosa last night, and I just thought I'd take the trip today as well, and just as I approach the same spot my NPCscan goes off. Incredibly lucky!

In the past, anytime I was in SP I'd look for TLPD, but never anything serious..... this last week I downloaded npc_scan and have gone hog wild all over Outland/Northrend killing various rares, so far about 16 in 4 days....
On evening of 2/1 I ported to Dal and started flying to SP, I barely got to the zone and npc_scan went off and there it was, flying southbound on the western edge of the zone / around the mountain....
Fly up close to aggro, land on top a nearby hill and had the kill in a couple of seconds, was pleased!
I had probable flown to the area about 10-12 times in the last 4 days and made the laps around the zones. I've also seen a few more of these around SW, so perhaps it's a little easier to get now either because the spawn rate increased, or because not as many people are farming it (and now farming the new drake in deepholm).
At any rate, happy farming!

4 days of camp in bor's breath.3 times kill vyragosa .
Today i decided to stop and it was my last effort i stayed again all day and night but not vyragosa this time and no TLPD either :(
I logged out and go to watch tv.Before i go to bed i decided to log in for the last time to do a cycle of the bor's breath and the other routes.Not a minute away from bor's breath i saw him ! yes it was TLPD its real its there and its mine :)
Killed the drake at 06:11am server time today on Steemwheedle Cartel EU at 27,54 .
I cant say anymore i am very excited and the time "i lost" was not lost after all :)
All of you try to kill this drake i have to tell you this : "The TLPD hunt is all or nothing game, so if you decide to play it, play until you win or time spend will be really lost " (From youtube TLPD Guide from Vasco/The Sha'Tar , thank you mate once again your video make me going on).
Good luck all of you hunting out there and be patience you will find it sooner or later !

Oh trust me, I've helped atleast a dozen hunters get this guy. Whenever I stumble upon, the first thing I do is see if theres a hunter in the zone that is looking for him and help em out. I think this string of good-doing is actually what got me TLPD in the end! :D

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)

I *finally* got mine today. I was so excited I nearly had a heart attack when he spawned.
He spawned right over the lake at Bor's Breath. He popped fairly low but I panicked because he spawned above my head and I couldn't see him at first. He was headed clockwise towards Valkyrion. He was at the level of the buildings so I pulled him over towards one and killed him on top of it.
12pm server time US - Hakkar.
Good luck to the rest of the hunters! Hang in there. I really never thought I'd get it but I was there for 20 minutes today because I was bored and there he was.

With the majority of people focusing on the new Cata content I have taken this opertunity to get some real info on spawns and timers. So far what I have gathered since yesterday at 530am are 2 main points; 1) TLPD and Vyra are deffinitly on seperate timers, and 2) killing either will not "replace" or extend the next spawn of Vyra or TLPD.
I cannot yet confirm or disconfirm the thoery of a Vyra kill "enabling" the chance for TLPD to spawn. This info does however lend to that being a very high probability.
The spawns for yesterday till now are as follows:
5:30am Vyra spawns and takes the Frosthold path.
1pm - Vyra spawns and is either on the Frosthold path of the larger temple/crash site path. (Only found body was not able to see path)
6:30pm - TLPD spawns and takes the Frosthold path (did not witness but talked with a mage who claimed it and was indeed riding TLPD, he also knew something of the timers so I will take his word for this)
11pm - Vyra spawns and takes the largest path around ulduar
5-6am (speculated ) Most likely a Vyra spawn. (Will try and find confimation in city chat later)
2:30pm - Vyra spawns and takes the templ/crash site path.
I witnessed all Vyra spawns that are confirmed.
By the mapping of these spawn we can see that the timers are not the same, but still may be linked/influenced somehow. TLPD spawning will not replace Vyra (unless mage was lying but I believe his info), Vyra's timer continues unaffected.
I observe an approximate 6h timer on Vyra.
Server: Azgalor
Hope this info was helpful to all you hunters. Good luck finding your prey!
Please vote up I think this info will really help the die hards out there.

My first comment on this site :)
I just got my TLPD :D Whuhu!.
Info:
Server: The venture CO.
Place of spawn: Storm peaks.
Place i found him: Right between "engine of the makers" and the other blue drakes.
Time on spotting: 16:05 server time.
Date: 8, febuary 2011.
I was comming from Dalaran just to check the spot as i have doing in 3 days now. With diffrent travel intervals. My NPC_Scanner went crazy after i turned over at the other drakes after went in the middle of the big hole, and i first throught it was Vyragosa, but nope it was TLPD and my heart begins to pump.
He was in the middle of all the other drakes and was red/yellow (pretty easy to spot). Brought him down to the ground and took him down easylie, dropped all the lootable items from the info list.
PS: To the guy/girl that got to me just 2 seconds after my kill. I feel alittle pitty for you. Better luck next time mate :)
For all the others still hunting him/her. good luck...It´s worth it and hard work pays up after all ^^
hope you could use this information :)

I have just got my hands on this cutie after a good solid 5 weeks of camping. I used to camp when Wrath was released but gave up due to the amount of other people after this drake and missing it on more than one occasion in the 'tagging' race.
Tonight I was woken at 01.45 with my baby crying, got up, seen to her then thought as I was up I may aswell have a little look as usually I am camp until around 6am before the need for sleep overcomes me. I logged in to my camping spot on the hills surrounding the frozen lake at Bor's Breath and was greeted by my NPCscanner going wild, thought it would be yet another Vyragosa as I have killed her 20+ times, but looked to see NPC found Time-Lost Proto Drake! My character wasn't even visable on my screen yet as it hadn't had time to load. Thinking it would be a corpse I clicked to see he was certainly alive, looked down and there he was flying along happily below me, I swooped down, cast Fel Flame, dropped to the ground and finished him off! I was so excited I woke my poor boyfriend up to tell him!
To all you out there who are still searching, don't give up! I thought I would never get him and couldn't be happier with my new mount!
Here are the details:
Time Lost Proto Drake killed on 10th February 2010. NPCscanner found him at 02.01, I killed him at 02.02. He was at 28.5, 68.6 flying down through Rohemdal Pass from the frozen lake at Bor's Breath. He was flying very low, I didn't have to use Snowfall Lager after tagging him.
I will upload a couple of screenshots to compliment this post. This is my first post here so I hope I have included adequate information to help other people looking to aquire this mount.

I used to be jealous of people who left comments saying "I started camping this guy today and got him at 2pm server". Especially after 8 months of camping him on my main. That's right....with my Rogue I started camping him in December and finally got him in August.
Well, last night I discovered that TLPD now scales speed with riding skill. (Pretty sure he was just static 280% before). So I decided to start camping him on my Death Knight today. I have a camping buddy who I helped get TLPD on his main - so he was helping. He was parked at Bor's Breath and I was north of Valkyrion in the little valley that Vyra/TLPD fly through. We were partied up and I was Master Looter.
At around 2:30pm server (Greymane) I heard my buddy's NPCScan go off (he sits next to me here at work - yes...we camp WoW in the background while working) and thought it was a volume test. I look over at his screen and he says it's TLPD. He asks if he should tag it and I said "hell yes" because there were several other campers flying patrols. I got there just in time to get one hit in on him before he was dead. Looted, learned, mounted up and was happy. Now I have a 310% Proto mount on my main and my DK.
So I guess that leaves me with an average camping duration of 4 months per TLPD kill. First one took 8 months. Second one took just over 2 hours.

Greetings,
Reading everyone else's stories has made for great entertainment, so I just had to create an account to share mine this evening.
I made my kill at 22:07 server-time on the 10th of Feb - Emerald Dream EU. I'd spent about 2 and a half days camped almost non-stop, waiting for the beast.
My spot was high above the small waterfall by the frozen lake at Bor's Breath. The intention being to watch the known spawn point on the cliffside and also cover the other 2 routes that pass through there. I use the addon Silverdragon and it worked a treat. It picked up the Time-Lost on the middle of the frozen lake, just south-east of Valkyrion. I can only assume it was on the Ulduar route and was lucky that it had made it that far.
What I really enjoy reading in other people's stories is how they dealt with their encounter. Most claim to have been quivering wrecks and I, was by far no exception!
My shaman-senses tingling, I dived for the drake and reached it just before it crossed the small waterfall. Snowfall lager in hand and recently imbued axes at the ready, I threw myself from my own drake in mid-air and prepared to unleash the fury of both wind and fire upon the beast! Instead I refreshed my lightning shield, took a mighty quaff of my snowfall lager - in one swift movement, I might add - and gently floated to the ground, watching in dispair as I my hunt continued its route into the valley; seemily unphased by a troll falling from the sky.
I was far from beaten however. I resummoned my trusty dragonhawk and we gave chase. I'll note here that I was concerned at how quickly the Time-Lost gained altitude on entering the valley. Fortunately it was naught but seconds before I had closed on the drake and dealt the killing blow on a nearby cliffside. And not a moment too soon, for a pair of Alliance dogs arrived on the scene moments after.
I'll leave it at that. I hear the brandy calling.

Got mine today! :D
Was camping around this spawn point for 6 days:
http://tlpdresource.com/index3.html
I was hanging in the air, so I could see the harpies on the ground and the spawn point of TLPD.
It came from the left (At the small waterfall, you can go right and left, like a "T") so you can say it came from "Frosthold"
Hope u guys can do something with this ;)
Happy hunting!

I found mine today while camping the Skoll spawn when he appered flying west over the cliff that over looks Brunnhildar Village. At 12:22 central time or 11:22 server time on Cenarius. Which was 11 hours after I found Vyragosa. Good luck to everyone hunting this mount im sure I was really lucky to get it.

Adventures of a level 81 Hunter.
I am extremely sad because I somehow missed the patch notes where it said "Players above level 80 can no longer queue for Wrath of the Lich King Heroic dungeons." and now realize I can no longer do randoms for Occulus for the Blue Drake. *cry*
TLPD was never in my thought process of "stuff I might one day acquire." Since I started playing WoW in Dec '08, I have never even
seen
the TLPD as a corpse, let alone witnessed it flying around, and I've spent a lot of time in the Storm Peaks doing Sons of Hodir dailies, and hunting for Skoll on two characters.
I've seen Vyragosa only twice, killed her once, over a year ago. (Second time I was on a FP.)
Two days ago, at home sick from work, I get on 7:30am server time, to go do a fly-by of Skoll's spawn points before I do some mat farming up in Hyjal and crawl back in to bed, because that's all I have the physical and mental energy for at the time.
Hop the Dalaran FP to Frosthold. Mount up in Frosthold and fly north (down the hill) to the frozen harpy lake where Skoll spawns. He's not there, but ......
WTF?
TIME LOST PROTO DRAKE
?
I see it flying West towards Valkyrion. (Two days earlier, I had actually finally had the forethought to get some Snowfall Lager
just in case
I actually ran into this WoW Urban Myth.)
I catch up (It flies rather slow, luckily), target it, shoot it, but fail to drink Snowfall Lager in time, and fall to my death. ARG! I res at the Spirit Healer, mount up, and fly north up towards the Snowdrift Plains, and see him AGAIN.
wooo!
I target him AGAIN, shoot him AGAIN, drink snowfall lager that seems to have no effect at all - but luckily I didn't fall very far at that point - and land in a bunch of Jormungar, iron dwarves, and elemental mobs who are all attacking me along with the TLPD, and since I died, pet is now MIA. Just as I remember, oh yeah -
here kitteh kitteh kitteh
, I die. AGAIN.
Res again at Spirit Healer, mount up, and for some unknown reason, I fly EAST towards Grom'Arsh Crash Site.
AND ZOMGS! THERE HE IS!
I catch up, AGAIN. I target him AGAIN. This time I wait until he's cresting the hill and BLAMMO! I fire away. I simply dismount onto the hill since there is no distance to fall this time - thankfully - summon pet, kill drake, and THE TLPD IS MINE!
I am SHAKING at this point from the adrenaline rush (which is ridiculous, I mean, this is a VIDEO GAME, and I'm an
adult
ffs.) I mount up, and I'm screaming in Guild Chat - TLPD IS MINE! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! etc x infinity.... blah blah blah
I decide to fly down to the Skoll spawn point just above Brunnhildar Village for kicks, and
ZOMGS! SKOLL!
My head is about to explode at this point, yet I manage to land, dismount, dismiss pet, lay Freezing Trap, hit TAME, and
VOILÁ
!
SKOLL AND TLPD ARE MINE! BOTH INSIDE FIVE MINUTES.
Kind of makes up for sadness over Blue Drake.
Too bad I didn't run get lotto tickets, or drive to Vegas.
Good hunting everyone.

Killed him today
I had farmed a couple of times before this, for maybe 2-4 hours at night. I quit recently with the cata xpac, and now that raiding is in full swing decided to try again tonight. I was literally about to hearth and call it a night, when bam, he spawned.
I was at the frozen lake in Bor's, right where the frozen waterfall drops down into the harpy valley. He spawned about midway through the valley, headed towards the Lake.
It was 3:30am, February 11. Skoll was also up at the same time, I was watching over him until a hunter friend could get to him. She tamed him, and no less than one minute later TLPD popped up. I saw Vyragosa's body about ~6 hours prior, and 2 hours prior to that Dirkee and Skoll were both up. Skoll was tamed by a horde hunter, I killed Dirkee

Just found him on Xavius EU, Have been camping Bor's breath for over 200 hours total with some breaks.
Have killed Vyragosa about 20-30 times and skoll/dirkee about the same amount.
Today I logged in about 13.00 server time, just to stand in Storm Peaks while playing HoN, about 2 hours later, at 15.00, I heard the NPC scan and Silverdragon going all crazy and I immediatley tabbed in to WoW and assume it was just another Vyragosa spawn, but not this time, TLPD! It had just spawned from the mountain in Bor's breath coming down and start his route to Valkyrion.
But I intercepted him (Failed like 4 times to tag him) but finnaly got him to the ground and killed him!

Decided after wotlk to farm this drake instead since being on a very high populated server during wrath made this grind terribly hard :(..so i started to read through all the comments here again and watch endless youtube videos to keep my hopes up.
Anyway last monday i set about starting to go for the time lost, as u can guess still quite a few people were looking for it on the server much to my disappointment..however i didnt give in:) Al'as! this morning exactly a week later i got this lovely ting hehe! at 9.35am
What I did
:
I camped myself @ bors breath in the frozen lake for the week..with the odd time scooting around to Brunn Village and anti'clockwise up the Ulduar spawn path. I did find around 10 Vyragosa' this week while doing that but not one sighting of Time Lost or its corpse. I did find though Vyragosa spawned between 1-3pm and 7-10 pm every day from monday to sunday evening..i stayed up all night every night this week until around 7-8am when i would pass out lol just to get a night time spawn which never happend..not once this week :(..
On the sunday however spotted a fellow paladin on the time lost running around storm peaks..me hoping he didnt get it on the day..he informed me that he got it on exactly this day last monday at 9.35am! from the frozen lake.
So i decided on the sunday that i was gona skip the night grind and endless cups of coffee..get a decent sleep and wake for 8am to catch a spawn early in the morning instead...Bingo! @ 9.35am on the monday moring exactly the same as the other paladin it spawned from the cliff at the frozen lake.
What was wierd though was my npc scan wasnt working when i found the drake..i actually only spotted it because i turned my camera angle up to the sky for some reason :).. it had turned all its settings off for some reason Oo and i was luckly not leaving the pc to listen for the npc scan to go off! To my suprise there was only me in the storm peaks at 9.35 this morning seems a decent time to camp this :) Just the wierd part was that the drake spawned at the exact same time/day and spot as the other guy a week ago.
I would just say to anyone looking still for this..always check your npc scan everytime you log in or at storm peaks to make sure its working..and get as much info from fellow campers/drake recievers in the area as you can..*be careful who you trust*..but also i followed the advice of many by sittin at bors breath maybe this is best camping spot:)
Goodluck to all the rest of the Time Lost Hunters..its worth it when you finally loot it:):)

Killed mine today, just some minutes ago. :D:D:D
The thing is when you've killed Vyragosa the first time there is no coming back, you have to get TLPD, or your time will be lost (duh!).
Camped 3 days total, got 3 vyragosa kills and then TLPD.
Camped at Bor's Breath, the frozen lake. Tagged him easily and got him down to the ground, snowfall lager isn't needed if you're camping Bor's Breath.

Happy Valentines for me apparently. I was sitting at the spawn point on the ledge near the frozen lake, browsing the WoW forums and Time-Lost spawned literally on top of me. It took one step forward and smacked my character in the back of the head. NPCScan went off and I had my sound up waaaaaay too loud and nearly fell out of my chair in shock at the alarm going off.
Took a moment of shock for me to think to turn around and smack the thing with Raptor Strike. Now I feel really stupid for meleeing it to death as a Hunter but, whatever, it worked! Now I have Time-Lost after two years of off-and-on camping and a few painful weeks of hardcore camping scattered through there.
I had killed Vyragosa about 25 times before I finally got the real deal. So never give up. And thanks a bunch to the success stories here for keeping me going.

Don't give a negative rating or anything but -- Got this 'elusive rare' within the first 10-15 mins of hunting. Like loads of others, found him above the waterfall. Then again, SOMEONE has to get him first time, now if I can just get the sea-turtle...

Finally, i have bagged myself this precious mount after 3-months of casual camping. To share my personal experience, it seems that stay at Bor's Breath will be the wise choice to camp for this dragon, as i have killed more than 6 times of Vyra exclusively on this camp point for a duration of 6 days, considering that i only camp when i free, also i do not camp continuously where got things to do. Another thing i wanna highlighted here is once u tagged, DO NOT PANICKED and bring him to lootable area to kill as my tlpd just now stuck on the mountain there and i need to call up a friend of mine who has sandstone drake to lift me there to take it. Good luck everyone and happy hunting! Again thanks to my friend, Shmourne who has helped me to get my tlpd.

Got this beauty on the off chance when I decided to go up to Ulduar for a Flame Lev farm - NPC Scan went mad so I tracked him west of Ulduar until I could be in Range of him for a taunt.
Haven't actively been camping this one so I just got seriously lucky.
Got no coords but it was just to the south of Ulduar and was heading West.

Camped this little bastard on and off for two years, killed dozens of Vyragosas. When archaeology was patched in, I thought that my chances of ever coming across him were officially shot. Ended up sealing the deal for me today; finishing up a Nerubian artifact brought me right into TLPD as he came down from the waterfall, heading towards Brunnhildar. I'm just going to ignore the hundreds of hours I wasted camping him, only to casually cross paths later on, when camping a rare spawn is the last thing on my mind. A mount is a mount is a mount.

My guild changed plans at the last minute tonight to steamroll Ulduar hard modes. Since I was in the area, I waited at the stone to help summon... and NPCscan went off. Flew up, aggroed him (didn't need a slow fall potion, as I landed on one of the pillars in front of the chasm), and killed him. Sadly, no screen shots (my mind went to mush when NPCscan dinged, and we still had a raid to run). He must've spawned at the Terrace of the Makers, as he was flying west / counter-clockwise over Ulduar - below the letters, well-documented spawn point / flight path.
I had camped this bastard at Bor's Breath off and on for the last 8 months, killed Vyra at least 3 times, and here he is to the north. Tonight was my first live sighting.
Do not give up, fellow seekers.
Uther US, approx. 8 - 8:15pm PST.

Hi! I'm a new TLDP hunter, and i have quite a few questions to ask about it.
1. how high does it fly?(actual measurements are not needed, just guestimations are good)
2. does it make any unique sound effects/animations?(im camping near Brunnhildar, dont wanna come running every time i hear a blue drake)
3. if you are the dwarf who keeps riding his blue drake around Storm Peaks on Nordrassil US, STOP!
Yesterday i put in 5 hours of nonstop flying through the paths, occasionally stopping above the frozen lake. I have no macros going, just my handy little macro on the "1" hotkey(i mouse turn one handed). So far, no vyra or TLPD spawns, corpses of sightings, but i asked around in general and someone whispered me that they had seen a Vyra corpse at abut 3:45AM server. Usung peoples theories of the 6-24hr respawn timer, i logged in again for a brief check of spawn points and paths at 9:45AM server, found nothing. I logged in a few hours later, about 1PM server, and i see the dwarf flying around on a blue drake(not the proto, the rare one you got from the Occulus). For those who haven't seen it in-game, it looks suspiciously like Vyragosa when viewed from below and behind. so i kept jumping out of my chair whenever i saw it, and started flying toward it mashing my attack hotkeys.
My (occasional) camping spots are above the frozen lake(south of Valkyron) and on a small ledge facing the blue protos near Brunnhildar.
On the plus side, some low level(to me, he was 77 or so) shaman was questing here, and i decided to practice some world PvP. He didnt notice the little rock outcropping i was behind had "Melindice, Guardian of Cenarius" hovering above it. but hey, its better than sitting alone in a snowy wasteland.

Found it 20/3 2011 - Moonglade. I was just passing by randomly when NPCscan popped. It was flying at Valkyrion heading to Bor's Breath. Time was about 0:10 and Vyragosa had spawned at around 18:00.

Just got this beauty 4:49 PM Realm time (Brill Pve) as realm-first when i logged on. It flew over me when i just logged on at Bor's Breath in Storm Peaks, Quickly i mounted my gryphon and killed him. He dropped the Reins of the Time-Lost Proto Drake, Abandoned Adventurer's Satchel and Time-Forward Talisman of the Marksman. Didnt kill Vyragosa, though.

Oooooo am I a happy little goblin!
I camped this evil drake for about a month now, and two days before my b-day someone on my server got him, so I rage quit for about a week and decided to go for him again!
I thought at first that vyragosa would spawn the same route that he would so I changed my camping spot from bors breath to over the engine of the makers, well silly me! I was camping over engine when he comes from (guess where) towards the engine from bors breath! Go figure!
I actually farmed this mount for my boyfriend for about 6 days and got him the day before Valentines day for him which was a great V-day present- oh but none of you care about this! The cool part about it is that he was taking the same path that he was for my boyfriend but he was on another server but still SO FREAKING COOL!
Omg, never ever again will I camp this evil time-stealing life draining drake! NEVER AGAIN!
Server time killed: 5:07am
Location Heading East towards engine of the makers from bors.
Server: GNOMERAGON!

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.

aight then, here's my story, but before anything..
wow at some jerks around here going and down rating all the comments, i hope others would take thier time and up rate the comments in this page to get it back out of "show / hide comment" as i have up rated every comment in this last page.
Anyway, my story, JUST yesterday, i posted a comment in this page talking about how im after TLPD, its been a week for me now, and i got him just few mins ago, meaning the next day after the post, aaanyway, rofl, got pics to back my words up but would really appreciate it alot if someone tell me how to upload two to 3 pics in a row through this site? anyway... sorry about the inc caps, you cant blame me, im stil shivering and hyped up from what happened and furious as well..lol, just know as you read this, i was typing it with a huge smile of Mr happiness of the happiness to the happiest, so forgive the childishness in the story, i tried to make it as entertaining as possible, and wish to be able to show you all our pics, im a very calm and almsot hard for me to break a cold sweat from being nervous, so me being nervous over a thing in a game and all hectic was very hillarious for us, so...
So, today around early in the morning, after doing my Auction House and waking up to do so and just thought ahh, i should just go and place myself in Storm Peaks (at Bor's Breath) and park myself there and rest abit more in bed JUST as i reached Bor's breath, i saw TLPD! and my heart my chest my stomach BURNED! my first thought was, its a damn Player flying on his/her TLPD just to irritate people off since my NPCScan DIDNT go off, i was looking at the bottom of my screen and yes i was right, it didnt go off, but then i couldnt shake somethin off which i noticed right from the moment i saw that TLPD...NO ONE WAS MOUNTED ON IT! i was in a height where i didnt need my snow fall lagger, and seeing him, trust me, im someone who's ALWAYS very calm and cool headed, but yes, i didnt need any fall cushions for it, anyway, jumped off, and tried to Faerie Fire TLPD and failed for some reason, to be honest, my sense of distance was totally shattered since i was in a panic and my chest was going ballistic the whole time , anyway, flew again, and FF'd TLPD and stayed down there healing myself and casting FF on him every once in awhile to make sure he doesnt reset, and since my girlfriend wasnt around my place, my mind = whyisntshearound? whyismymobilenotnearme? whywhywhywhywhy? and then after catching myself abit, i finally grabbed the mobile and called her, and kept on calling her, the brat was asleeep, damn lil sleeping beauty WAKE UP WAKE THE HELL UP! QQ PLEASE WAKE UP BRAT! and she hurried and tried to rush with her laptop by the bed, and an Orc warrior shows up...and i FREAKED out but was GLAD that it was a Horde, and yelled DONT, please dont kill it, its for my GF's birthday, i pleaded the warrior and he just said "its just irritating...4 weeks and i get to see this" i said im sorry, please just leave, and he said he wouldnt kill it, and i thanked him, and then he said he's just waiting to see how long will it take for me to decide and kill TLPD or wait for my GF till he Despawns and that he has a 15 mins Despawn, and omg that sent insanity through my veins, LOL, i lost it and kept on IMing my girl through her mobile now instead of just talking to her through voice on the mobile, thats how messed up my head was, she was like, why are you typing? I DONT KNOW! HURRY! anyway, and the Orc kept on talking about how he was "ahh lets try and see if i'd get lucky with TLPD, and then went like, meh, F it, im going to just do the dailies and then his NPCScan goes off and he finds me" oh, i almost forgot, i was trying to take TLPD into the cave in Bor's Breath to avoid everyone when their NPCScan goes off, but as soon as i saw the Orc, i got nervous that he'd reset and fly away from me, so i stayed right in front of the cave while hoping he doesnt suddenly attack, anyway, my GF was finally able to get in wow, and im glad she asked me to invite, cause i damn as hell wouldnt have while not being focused at all and very nervous, so i did, and then, a Bloodelf Hunter shows up...and he says cool mate, gg...and i saw his comment, and i was trying to type, but couldnt type as fast as i always type cause i was nervous of hitting a wrong button and kill TLPD, and yes, i removed each and EVERY move from my out of form bar(ie, not in cat,bear,moonkin form), had only Faerie Fire on, and being a Feral druid, i had to focus on mana and my heals while waiting, anyway, he shows up, acts all cool, and then as i was typing and trying to tell him to not to attack TLPD, he just lands and shoots a shot and turns around when he saw me type i guess, but his pet ended up taking away the last of the 3k HP, and my heart just fell.....i couldnt keep my calm anymore and lost it the moment i saw the loot pop up on my screen....started off with an idiot....and as the anger started to build up, i kept on going with them other words as well, even the Orc warrior lost it on him, and he ends up with a.."oops...sorry" and it calmed me abit but then i realized it again...TLPD IS DEAD AND MY GF was ON HER WAY OMFG! YOU !@@#^*#^!&%#()$$$@@..(well i wasnt that bad with the words, just soft hardcore pissed off words, rofl, anyway) and then suddenly...i see my GF's characters name, roll need on the Reins of the Time-Lost Proto Drake and i was 0.0...i almost looted it and threw it away...out of anger...OMG! YOU CAN ROLL ON IT DARLING? (hahaha omg im laughing hard, hopefully i'll upload pics someday) and SIIIGHS she gets it, and the Orc kept on chatting abit and the BE apologized, and i just went all "HAPPY BIRTHDAY CUTIE POTS!" and the BE was like, aww nice prezzie man, and they wished her Happy birthday as well, (well her birthday is still weeks from now, but yeah, it was my main goal behind TLPD while mine was just to be able to see it once) and i told her to LEARN IT AND MOUNT UP before BLIZZARD DECIDES TO SUDDENLY shut this SERVER DOWN ONLY to SAY NO MORE TLPD HUNTS its been taken out of the GAME!
anyway, happy happy happy, and still in a fit of rage and hyperness cause of TLPD and the hunter killing it...omg everytime i remember it..SHEESH.. this was my best solo moment through out my almost 2 years of wow gaming.
ah and guys, make sure the NPC ID you got in your NPCScan is the right ID for TLPD, mine didnt go off since i had the wrong one in for some reason.
NPC ID: 32491
Name: Time-Lost Proto Drake
Location: Northrend
Good luck to everyone out there and most of all now that i mention about luck, thanks alot for wishing me luck, i honestly believe its when i asked for people to wish me luck from here in order to be able to get TLPD for my GF's birthday, is when and why i was able to get TLPD, thanks alot for the awesome wishes and the awesome THRILLING moments with TLPD and God bless.

I have personally witnessed the Time-Lost drake 4 times in the last 6 days on Winterhoof US. I got one on an alt on Weds morn at 6:53am. Another guy who was camping got his on Friday morn around 10:50am. I then went back out there to help a friend camp for it on Saturday night and she found it dead around 9pm or so. We waited awhile and came back out to camp again just for kicks and we sat there all night (again). Nothing spawned until like 11am Sunday morn. TLPD again. We have most likely missed spawns as I only saw Vyragosa twice in this time. She saw Vyragosa on to other occasions as well. So it really looks like they upp'ed that respawn rate or else we just got CRAZY lucky.
I'm going to camp it again later on yet another alt... Why not? lol

Been camping the drop since yesterday - got lucky today.
Respawn times I saw:
Approximately 2.30 am Tuesday morning server time Vyragosa spawned at Bor's breath.
Approximately 4.15 pm Tuesday afternoon server time Time-Lost Proto Drake spawned at Bor's breath, flying near to the ground.
I don't know if there were other spawns in the meantime. I never saw Dirkee.
This was on The Venture Co. EU. I camped it sitting on the broken pathway halfway up the cliff in the right-angled corner of Bor's breath.
Hope this helps.

Just got mine today. Was actually camping for Vyragosa but hey, can't complain when this baby turns up instead!
Here's what happened:
Was camping at 30.1, 66.9 for almost the whole day. Drake came flying from the South, over the Frosthold hill. This is near a "confirmed" spawn point. I don't know if it spawned here or just flew over. It definitely was NOT on the flight paths outlined by NPCScan but it was close enough.
I caught it at 01:20am server time.

Don't hate me, but I came across TLPD last night quite by accident. I was doing the Brunihildar daily to get the polar bear mount when my NPC scanner went off. I was right in their village and I flew up to a rock around the edge, lightning bolted the drake down and the mount was mine! It wasn't the mount I was looking for at the time, but a new unexpected mount non the less.
I had camped TLPD on and off throughout Wrath with no luck before this.
Time was around 2:30am.
Yay!

I must say. I got damn lucky.
I decided to camp the spawn while alt tabbed doing some work on my pc. I camped the frozen lake spawn spot. I sat for maybe 30 minutes as I ended up watching bleach and it spawned not 5 minutes later. my heart went off as I heard the alarm as i couldn't see it till it flew toward me abit.
now onto the sea horse!
server: The Maelstrom EU - Horde character Relasouno
time: 06:31:18 server time
killed about a minute later as i tried to tag it midair and died...glad the graveyard was right there.

To people whom are camping this gorgeous beast;
when you camp, do not move around. And be sure to be only one that is camping a certain spot/place since your chances only get worse if someone is next to you. Imagine if the drake spawns and the other guy tags it before you.
And when you see someone camping in certain place, leave for another one. First off it's not nice for that person and secondly, your odds of getting it decreases.
I got my mount today (Monday evening, killed 7:47 PM at Bor's Breath frozen lake) and I can assure you, patrolling the peaks doesn't pay off. I did patrol only to see if I could see the corpse anywhere. I did look for the mount for three weeks and during that time I never saw him alive when I patrolled (three times dead though). He will come to you, not other way around if you're not extremely lucky.
And when you start camping it, make sure you have enough time and determination to do that. It's not called Time-Lost for nothing. People saying that they got it after two days of waiting... they are extremely lucky. Or then I'm the unlucky one. :D
However, the mount is definitely worth the wait.

On Chromaggus I was questing on an alt and I saw the TLPD. I had heard that it despawns after awhile and I didn't have my main anywhere close to storms peak so I killed him. I was kicking myself because I had been farming him on my main and I've only seen the corpse once. I knew I was going to be questing there on my alt so on the off chance I would see it again I moved my main to storms peak. What do you know a few hours after servers came back up, I saw him again. I logged onto my main and no one had touch him. I've had horrible luck with mounts dropping in the past but two TLPD on the same server on two characters in the same day. I couldn't believe it. Pictures with dates/times and showing the drop, because I still can't believe it happened.

I come from a server with almost no alliance population. After 5 days of camping and a server shutdown, another 6 hours waiting around for the estimated respawn of what I believed would be Vyragosa, one of the almost nonexistent alliance players must of nabbed this extremely rare dragon. Did a /who check, no horde in the zone besides myself, and I know I didn't kill it, and I refuse to believe it despawned without me finding it. It just doesn't happen like that, does it? QQ

Greetings my fellow TLPD hunters :) I was very lucky to only have camped for this guy for 2 days before I got my prize on June 8th, 2011 at 8:41pm server time and figured I would share with you all some
new more updated info as of cata
about the TLPD for anyone and everyone looking to kill and get this mount. Keep in mind I am no expert and this simple guide I have made is all the new info I have found to be 100% true so please enjoy and take if for what it is....
1. The best place hands down to find this dragon is at Bor's Breath, (some of u may disagree) but after count less hours of video watching and reading several comments this place seems to show up the most and is the same place where I myself just killed the TLPD and got the mount. To see excatly where he spawns at in Bor's Breath watch this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUMazS84Tn0
2. There is no such thing as he will spawn at this time (most say between 1-72 hours) or bla bla,
IT IS TOTALLY RANDOM
, I myself killed Vyragosa at 11:48pm (server time) and went to bed thinking I had 6 hours before TLPD would appear
WRONG
by the time I had woke up at 5:00am he was already dead. Rather or not he runs on the same timer as Vyragosa I can not say, beening as which there was never any hard core proof that he does.
3. The TLPD will despawn
30mins
after being killed and it takes no longer then 5-7 mins to circle the place so if you are keen to circle his route you are sure to see him if he has been killed on your patrol.
4. I killed the TLPD on my mage and was able to 2 shot him he has 18,900 HP and is a lv 80 so very easy to kill (I was able to kill him before he even hit me with a move).
5. I strongly recommend that u stay at one of his know spawn points vs. flying all over the place, chances are he will fly to you fast then you can fly to him if you are on patrol.
6. I could not say rather or not other mobs in the area attack him, or if he despawns after so long if no one is around to hit him. As soon as I seen him I killed him ( as I am sure the rest of you would do).
7. The TLPD hit's very weak I myself as a mage wear cloth and he did not even touch my HP bar, he does how ever like to stay at a distance when he attacks.
8. If you do tag him I recommend you take him to a cliff to fight him (as there are plenty in the area) vs. slow falling while he is hitting you to the ground.
That is all the info I have and I hope it helps anyone looking to kill this guy, GL to all camping for him the mount is a real treasure to have :)

I don't know, maybe there is a method to Blizzard's madness, the way they keep us guessing, searching, wandering. There is something so electrifying, so sensational and wondrous, about the appearance of the TLPD when he finally spawns, that in some ways you forget about how vexatious it is to camp this mob in the first place. Granted, you can do some farming in the Storm Peaks, you can read a book or get some homework done, you can even knit a sweater or 2 (I did, lol), but I think we'd all rather be in a dungeon or working on gear upgrades somewhere else.
And yet, suddenly, the alarm from whatever addon you're using goes off, and there he unbelievably is, and I must admit, it's an absolutely fabulous moment. Sensational! Enchanting!
Killed him 6/10/11 on Blackwater Raiders at 9:18 p.m. at Bor's Breath.

got it this morning at Bor's breath just where the canyon ends and the frozen lake starts, was doing my morning cylce through the patroll paths and just when i was about to turn to engine of makers, NPC scan went off, it was flying quite low, could nearly reach it with spell attack from the ground, just tagged it, landed and killed. 2 months of routing every other day for 5-20 min. Lucky, yes :)
I have encountered TLPD twice before, once it was dead on one of ledges in the canyon just before the frozen lake, second time i passed by a happy hordie mounted on it and taking photos near the corpse just at the start of Valkyrion, the guy was very happy, and i felt like i missed it by a few minutes.
I have killed vyragosa twice and witnessed it die 3 times in the area around bor's breath in 2 months.
My kill : Stormreaver - EU, Bor's breath, 06:12 realm time. Quick patrol on the the spawn spots before work finally gave the results, happy happy!

this is latebut yesterday i got the mount WOOOT.
Lethon-US 7:56pm
it took around 3 weeks. it is quite a long camp but short compared to some others. It came from vlkyrion the village near bors breath. another hunter got the scan to but i tagged it before him. If you want him you need extreme patients. I lost a lot of sleep but i got a lot today. At first I didnt think i wanted it after my friend got it in 2 days, but then tlpd got intomy head and i knew i needed to have him. I got it on the same week that another tlpd spawned so YES! it can spawn multiple times a week. I love my new mount and i took so much screen shots of the tlpd corpse and mount and vyragosa.

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.

This is my story:
I am a hunter. I have been since since launch. I have been camping TLPD since wrath on and off. I would camp it for couple days in a row here and there. Finally just gave up. Till about 2 weeks ago. I sat and camped it for 2 weeks. Saw it alive and dead 2 different spots. It helps if your a stay at home mommy and have a 2 year old to help! I could watch my screen while we played. It is true; i must say, that he spawns once a week. At least it did for me. Once every 5 days.
DONT PANIC WHEN YOU SEE IT! Use snowfall lager and health pot. Make sure you tagged it! Help to check his spawn points,and hope you find him near the ground. If yuo are on a pvp server like i am. Pray to God; that there are no horde... lol. If you do, just go to another spawn point and sit there than pat back every half hour or so.
Put on good movie, and don't give up! I was going to give up that night if he didnt spawn at 11:44pm server. But ate lucky charms, and got him 3rd times the charm
Here are my Vyra spawn times:
LTPRD - 223pm was killed Wednesday was by the village
Vyra *:3 am
Vyragosa 7:27 am
Vyragosa 10:43 pm
TLPD 8:32 sunday morning.. saw him dead between alliance town
EDIT: Someone killed him this morning 2 hrs ago and got him. After only 2 minutes of farming? I don't get it. My theory is all out the window now. (not a once a week spawn?) More like once a day?
got her wednesday 11:44pm 5 days later.
GOOD LUCK DONT GIVE UP!
He was just below the Bors breath by the frozen falls...
Hope this helps. Happy hunting!
Update: Someone on my server killed her. 2hrs ago around 9:00am. After only 2 minutes of farming. how is this even possible? Maybe someone killed veryagosa and he does only spawn after so many kills. Someone else did all the work and missed his spawn? I thought it was only once a week? SO much for that theory....

Hello! I'm Dancwithwolf of the Uldaman server. I have been camping this guy and i got him about a year ago right after cata came out! I camped him for about a year and a half. I have done insane amounts of research to inform you guys about! I found out a bunch of important things.
1.Vyragosa DOES share spawn timers, paths, and spawn points with TLPD. I found this out through research and my times of camping.
2.Time-Lost Proto Drake STILL drops in cataclysm. (Just to clear a bunch of questions for you all.)
3.The best way to camp is going to a spot and sitting there and not moving an inch.
4.DO NOT tell Vyragosa kills in chat and DO NOT ask if there were any kills in chat. Because most of the time people want you too leave to take your spot and would try to take the kill from you.
5.There are 4 spawn points and 4 paths
6.However, DO tell about TLPD kills in chat.
7. Restarts have NOTHING to do with Vyragosa and TLPD's respawn timer. Why do i say this? Because after a restart i ALWAYS see the same rares up.
8. If you do see someone hunting TLPD, open a friendly conversation and say Hi and ask if they want to work together. A little kindness goes a long way :)
Good Luck and happy hunting!

So I were farming for the Time Lost today at 18.30
I were camping at the frozen lake thing near the harpies.
At 19.00 Vyragosa spawned and I killed her.
One of my friends on another server were also farming the time lost - And at 19.01 he was capsing "OMFG TLPD!" In real ID.
Is this just totally rng or?

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

have been camping the TLPD for several months, on and off. yesterday i missed TLPD for the third time, and encountered vyragosa for my lucky number 15th time.
I am on Firetree-us server.
they say posting on wowhead can turn your luck around, i will keep you guys updated, and let you know when i get it (trust me i will)
edit: not to long after this post, got my 5th vyragosa kill. vyra was travelling south, coming from valkyrion, and flying close to the ground. i was at frozen lake spawn, and swooped in beating all the half hearted, 1hr here 1hr there campers.

Been camping this beauty for about three weeks now, seen him dead 5 times, and lost him 1. Was at the bathroom, as well as getting somethng to drink. That took me about 4 mins, when i got back i saw the NPCscan box saying Time-Lost Proto Drake.... My mind just went; NoNoNoNoNoNo..... And ofc, after a minute of searching, he's lying there... god damn.
Well, the hunt continues.

- The day before patch 4.2 comes lives, finally I got my TLPD after lots and lots of time farmed... killed around
10 Vyragosas
and saw
2 dead TLPD corpses
, one on most farmed spot, where a guy was with me at the time I got mine, which is in
Bor's Breath
, but in the past times, I used to stay there all the time I was logged in, so I noticed that
Vyragosa
most of the times
spawns
there, but I never saw TLPD there, so my speculation is that TLPD spawns near Ulduar spawn, where I saw the corpse for the second time... So today I decided to do a route that started in
Bor's Breath
goes to
Engine of the makers
and then goes to
Brunn sumthing village
, then goes back to
terrace of the makers
, goes all the way left passing by
ulduar
, and then finally moving south back to
Bor's Breath
, just like this:
http://img857.imageshack.us/img857/4535/tlpdfarmroute.png
-> this passes by all the spawn points of
BOTH
drakes, being that
Time Lost Proto Drake
and
Vyragosa
...
So now, where I killed, as I told you today I decided to do this route that i never did before, and had pretty much success with it... I did this route like every 30 minutes, and on the
last time I did,
baam found
Time Lost Proto Drake in Ulduar
... I found him here:
http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/2978/wowscrnshot062811223032.jpg
, I paniced so I started trying to kite him, 1st time I failed, he went back where he was, 2nd time he dismounted me and I died... I released and then waited for him to pass by a place I could kite him, and baam he went near a mountain, there was where I got my
killshot
, here's the picture:
http://img843.imageshack.us/img843/3066/wowscrnshot062811223257.jpg
...
So for all you farmers, I can assure you that if you are coming just to get your 1st proto drake and you think this is the easiest... This is by far one of the hardest, I can say that ulduar 10 men one is easier than this, this mount is very
VERY
rare, as I mentioned
before
I spent 100+ hours doing nothing on wow just standing on a spot, but well I did a mistake, I stayed there without checking other spawn spots... but thats why I decided to share this with you, so you dont comit the same mistake as me, I see many people camping there on the same spot without moving...
So this is just a heads up for you all, by reading this I hope you help other people when you find something interesting... and thats it! Rate this up so this appears on 1st page on top :)
P.S: Last rare(Vyragosa/TLPD) killed before this was at 18h sv time on day 27/06... this one was killed at 23:15 sv time at 28/06... meaning it took
29 hours to spawn
, heard
rumours
, and I'm pretty sure they're
facts
, that vyragosa spawns fast, when you see its taking longer, its its because its going to be a TLPD, so
DONT
give up!

Need to tell someone how I got TLPD :O)
Couldn't sleep one night...had a lot of work stuff on my mind. Got up, drank a glass of milk, and decided to log in...knew that I logged out in StormPeaks. Logged in south of Temple of Storms, flew East and then south. Decided to go back and take a look at the west north path...what a GOOD idea :P Just north of Valkyrion I spotted him (is it a him?) flying north, closest thing I ever got to a heartattack...i caught up with him right where the path divides and took him down. yiehaaa. I looted and mounted up. So at choords 28.50 I killed him, one wednesday morning 04:41. What a lucky night not to be able to sleep.
Bonus: It wasn't until after 3-4 minutes of cheering over this kill that I saw Skoll walking about right behind me.
Good luck to yall TLPD hunters.

Got my drake a few months ago and thought i'd come and help in anyway i could.
I would recommend camping the spawns as in my opinion you have a higher chance of getting the drake than if your flying around as you may just miss it but if your camping the spawn point at least your basically guaranteed a kill if it spawns there.
These videos below helped me get my drake and i'm sure they can help u too. The vids will show you 2 locations where the TLPD can spawn i recommend camping right up next to them and just hope it spawns there and eventually you'll have your drake.
Bor's Breath Spawn

Ulduar Spawn
- www(dot)youtube(dot)com/watch?v=0kKiNi0U06Y&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL
Props to the uploader for having the patience to make the vids which in turn has helped alot of people. Be sure to thank him in the comments if they help you. ( Sorry about the links i recently signed up so i cant post any.)

My beautiful proto finally dropped about 15 or 20 minutes ago. I sat for a week with WoW running in the background and my browser tabbed over it so I didn't go nuts staring at the side of a mountain. Killed Vyra 3 or so times. Used the Bor's lake spawn point, heart almost stopped when I heard NPC scan going off from the other room. Be patient, stick to your spawn, and he will come to you, too.

On my realm, Time-lost proto drake and Vyragosa both spawn on the hour, or within 5 minutes of the hour on my server. What i mean is that when they spawn, it always around 1:00 or 3:00 not that they spawn every hour. I have downed Vyragosa quite a few times, and every time it has been on the hour. Also, i don't think that they will spawn in the same place twice.
While farming TLPD, i waiting until the hour (1:05 at this time) was up, then looked for Vyra or TLPD. Found TLPD dead halfway through his Village spawn point path. I can only reason that he spawned a few minutes earlier, so that would fit my theory. Also, i have never seen either TLPD or Vyragosa spawn in the same place twice. For my realm, it seems to be doing a dodging path. Spawns over Bor's Fall waterfall, then spawns over the village, then in Uld, then over the Frozen Lake.
This way, i can attempt to predict when one of these two will spawn, and where they will spawn. Unfortunately, i usually miss a spawn, and that throws the calculations off, but if anyone can find a way to confirm this info (theory?) then please do.

A very good way to tag him is to make a macro like this.
/dismount
/cast (whatever your tagging spell is)
Just make sure that this macro is right next to your snowfall lager (slowfall that only works in storm peaks, very useful for this).
Macros like this save you when there is competition, because its easy to tag the mob.

Time: It's currently 2:45 realm time so about ten minutes ago maybe
He was in bor's breath flying towards frosthold. He was flying somewhat low (just out of casting range as a boomkin from the ground).
I killed Vyragosa yesterday at around 11-12(midnight). A guilde told me TLPD may spawn within 24-36 hours after killing Vyragosa. Guess he was right.

Getting bored of camping?
Pick a frost spit tail and fly round, killing your camping time.

(fly into a Frostwyrm, let it spit, fly away, and you got your tail if your mount aint too slow!)
my own little time-killer ;) haven't found Time-lost yet, tho :/
found: 4-5 Vyras, 2 Skolls, 1 Dirkee.
I've been camping at bor's breath which was where I found most of the spawns. (ofc not Dirkee.)
Good Luck everyone!

I was camping for TLPD at the Bor's Breath spot (29, 66). Occasionally I would fly up north real quick to see if he was heading my way from the Ulduar spawn point. I would only fly to the 27, 51 Skoll spawn location and then fly back to my camping spot at 29, 66. Well, I had JUST gotten back to the camping spot, 10 seconds later and NPCScan went off. It was Time-Lost and he spawned right above Valkyrion and was headed south, much to my shock. I tagged and bagged him.
I must say this totally threw me off-guard because he did NOT spawn at one of the four camping spots.... This was also at 15:39 on a Tuesday, about 3 hours after the servers came up. I can confirm this spawn point, which is odd because the four "known spawn locations" don't include this one.

Finally! After about a year or so I got it :)
Logged on accidentally and decided to fly away from Bor's Breath was gone for maybe 5 minutes and I returned and my scan went off, at first I thought it was Vyragosa....but the little gold dragon at the bottom of my screen proved me wrong!
Quickly downed him and now I'm very very happy :)
539 server time, at Bor's Breath.
Good luck! This is a beautiful drake :) completely worth every frustrating moment..
Happy hunting :)

Today I found my dk dead from ulduar spawn point and time -lost proto drake was in my npcscan cache -.-
So, dont move.

Today, while camping Time-Lost... I managed to kill Vyragosa again, just outside of Bor's Breath. This marks my 15th Vyra kill; that's15 stacks of frostweave cloth, and 15 of those (now useless) blue helmets. Meanwhile, in my YEAR of camping, I've seen TLPD twice. Dead both times. /wrist
Edit: Make that 16 kills, another helm, no Time-Lost sightings.

I can 110% confirm Valkyrion is not a spawn point. I have camped this thing too many times ( 5 of my own Toons, and helped 16 friends get it).
What you have described has happened to me too though.
My Shaman was at Ulduar spawn point, all 3 others were covered, the guy camping the Waterfall told me he killed Vyra, seen the corpse and logged.
Came back around 5 hours laster, the Frozen Lake spawn point got freed up, the dude logged off.
I started flying towards Frozen Lake, following the path from Ulduar because I had just logged on.
I got to Skoll's spawn point on the Snowdrift Planes, he was up. I /w the Hunter who was on the Waterfall spawn point because I knew he wanted it.
Seconds after I told him Npc Scan went off, Vyragosa. She was behind me, I knew she spawned at Ulduar and wondered how the hell she got to me as fast as she did.
Long story short, Npc Scan works off the Creature Cache, if an NPC ID is cached it will alert you, there are slight bugs now and again, caused by server lag / personal internet connection and other things, which may delay / not alert at all, this happens most often when your moving, if you stopped at the camping spot, it let the server a little more time to catch up / your internet connection to even out and then Npc Scan would have cached him.
What I belive happened to me was that it just simply didn't cache her as I flew over her on the way down the Snowdrift Planes, she doesn't fly as fast as a 310% mount so there is no way she was only 5-10ish seconds behind me from the spawn point.
I would think that is probably what went on with you too, like I said, I have camped this a lot in the past and may do again in the future.
Every time I have camped all 4 spawn points have been camped and nothing spawned anywhere that it shouldn't have, nothing happened that was un expalinable like that I'm affraid.
For more proof of this, feel free to go to tlpdresource.com there are a lot of good guides, facts / falsehoods, screenshots of exact spawn locations and a forum board to vent your anger while camping this elusive beast!

Saw it around probably 6:20 to 6:25 pm CST time around the area across the chasm from Ulduar where all those gnomes are.
And then I lost it to some guy who was in the party who rolled for it even though I was the one to kill it >_<

One thing I have noticed on quite a few of these post is that none of them consistantly have the server you are on. Maybe in your original post you do, but on the most recent you do not. As for camping this beast I'm currently at day seven and keeping an excel doc of the NPC's I've killed in Storm Peaks. Obviously NOT TLPD. My current count on Vyragosa-8 down, Dirkee-five down, and Skoll-four down. Granted it's not like some of you more experienced, but I'm seeing where this is all about dedication. I've read all of the site's and even tested some methods. To no avail I'm still 0/7 days on TLPD.
Mains: Tapforheals-85(holy/priest); Watchursix-85(mm/hunter)
Alts: Snoowman-85(arcane/mage); Nomatchforme-85(blood/dk); Dkookiller-85(ret/paly); Amarocksback-85(fury/warrior)

Finally found him after over 100 hours camping... dead (US-Cairne, 3:39 server). He was flying counter-clockwise towards my camp spot and was killed by an alliance mage, who then was so kind to fly over to me and /spit and /rude. Ah, the joys of camping TLPD...
Dang, he was right out of my radar range, too. :(

I finally got it at around 4:45 am at the smaller water in Bor's Breath. I used silverdragon addon which makes a sound of you chosen and targets the rare when it comes in range. So I sat in my bed for the second night in the row watching TV with my computer up and sound load enough so I could hear. Sure enough the addon announced a rare in the area targeted it and by god it was Time-Lost Proto Drake. I got to my computer and looked under me and there it was. I flew down and flew directly into him so I can Kite him down, which took two tries, I brought him down to the frozen waterfall and bagged him. Before this I saw Vyrossa once alive and once dead. It seems to me that most of the killings and sighting of this rare creature are n Bor's Breath so I hardcore camped there. The only way your gonna get this is dedication and some luck. I kept my self busy by reading a book, watching TV, and playing on my Xbox (of course with the computer volume turned enough so I can hear it). You have to download Silverdragon and NPCScanOverlay, with out Silverdragon I would not have Bubba (what I nammed him). Good luck hunting and always know that if you put the time in it, you will get it.

This may be one of the saddest Time-Lost experiences in the history of WoW
I was camping the drake for about 3 weeks, killed 8 Vyragosas no problem. I took a break for about a week and decided to come back one day. I stayed for about 2 hours, and after a while got bored. I decided to do a quick battleground, so I qued and played Arathi Basin for about 5 minutes (quick game).
I come back and my NPCScan goes off, telling me Time-Lost is somewhere nearby. I turn my camera around, and the f*cker is dead right where I was camping. I WAS GONE FOR 5 MINUTES.
Needless to say I didn't get any sleep that night, all I could think was that the drake was mine, it was mine. Too bad I didn't actually get it.

Got lucky. Killed him at 2:06 AM on Sisters of Elune after two days of looking for him. No sightings of Vyragosa beforehand. Coordinates 31, 66. I popped out of a dungeon run and NPCScan lit up. He was flying in Bor's Breath clockwise, and lower than I would have expected.
Thanks to everyone who has posted for all the useful info!

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.

There is some-what wrong and inaccurate info here.
His spawn time is not "TOTALLY RANDOM".
Certain things can infulence a faster respawn, killing more Northrend Rares will decrease the time between his or Vyragosas spawns.
There is a Rare Cap in place, only X amount of Rares can be up at a time ( I use X as the Cap recently changed with 4.1 and we are still trying to work out exactly what it is, it looks now to be between 5-8 Rare Cap, pre 4.1, it was, without doubt 3. That was determind by people who did a massive rare spawn study), when a rare dies, another can spawn, sometimes other rares will spawn instantly, some may take a handfull of minutes, some longer, RNG still plays a small role in that.
I myself can tell you I have "forced" many Vyragosa spawns, and a few Time-Lost spawns ( I have Time-Lost on my main and 4 alts, working on my 5th alt as I type.)
While there is an essence of "Randomness" still around it, it is not "Totaly Random" at all, if you do not belive me, go camp the Storm Peaks, get a 2nd account, or Friends, to go around killing other rares, you will see a massive decrease in respawn times.
Vyragosa does indeed share a respawn timer with our ellusive friend Time-Lost though. They share spawn timers, near exact patrol paths, spawn points, everything. You said there is no Hardcore proof they do, well there is no Hardcore proof they don't. Since the beginning of Wrath, up untill now, if they didn't share a spawn timer, sure to god someone on some realm, in some region would have seen him and Vyragosa up at the same time and it would have been Screenshotted. Sure, they are both rare, Time-Lost more so, but in all this time since they have been flying around. Someone, somewhere would have witnessed it and made it common knowledge.
Since "The Shattering" though, along with the Rare Cap I mentioned above, the respawn timers have been drastically reduced, while a lot of the older comments say 6 hours, and the newer comments say 1-72 hours, neither are wrong, the respawn time has changed. Only Cataclysm Rares still have a minimum respawn of 6 hours.
The bit about Time-Lost despawning, It has never been witnessed. Only 1 GM Screenshot has ever indicaited it ( And in my own personal opinion, the Screenshot looked a bit fake).
Time-Lost has been followed around on the PTR for over an hour, on his Waterfall Spawn Point Patrol Route, why would Blizz edit a bit of code so he doesn't despawn on the PTR but does on live? I think they would have bigger and better things to test out rather than a big 'ol Green Draggon on the PTR.
There has only been one case I know it did despawn, that was a bug though.
Someone held Time-Lost (Tagged and turned away, only healing himself, not landing another hit on it), he was waiting for his friend to come online. The guy holding it took a massive lag spike and Time-Lost killed him (This was in Wrath when he actually could kill you, sort of), Time-Lost had totaly vanished. I think he was held in combat, if I remember correctly, for 45 min, and when the guy died, he despawned.
I personally have cought Time-Lost 34 mins after he set off my Npc Scan. Stupid O'clock in the morning (Between 2-3am) and I was camping the Frozen Lake Spawn Point, I was afk making coffee, or was outside having a smoke, Npc Scan picked him up, my speakers were down really low too *doh!*.
Anyway, I didn't go back to the screen untill I knew I would need to press a button to keep myself from AFK'ing out, when I did I noticed his little Icon and the time stamp showed he was detected 29 mins previously. I flew around the paths, seen no corpse, decided to move up to Ulduar, found him on the Snowdrift Plains, allive and well. He died by my hands.
That in itself proved to me that he didn't despawn after 30 mins.
Check out Tlpdrecource.com (and the Forum Boards there) if you want to find yourself any more information on Time-Lost, or Aeonaxx for that matter.

EU-Steamwheedle Cartel - Kmonoim 85 Fury Warrior
Camped for around 4 nights, around 5 hours per night, 1 Vyragosa kill until today flying from Dalaran back east to Storm Peaks joining the path at Frosthold I flew around northeast towards the Valkyrion/ Bor's Breath junction and npcscan went off @ 11:00 GMT didnt get coords for spawn as he was already flying but npcscan clocked him @ roughly 32.4 65.7
TLPD was flying anti clockwise towards Bor's Breath from Valkyrion, as a warr I suspected I'd have to fly into him to attract his attention and hope he followed to a point where he'd come into range for my gun but he followed and was in melee range and took less than 3 swings to kill.
I am still shocked as I have shared my camping time with at least 6 other 85's over the past few days, all camping the Bor's Breath spawn point.
This is by far the most satisfying moment of my game time, such is my sheltered life in WoW lol
Good luck to anyone else after him

After about 18 months of camping, I happened upon a live one! (Seen one corpse in the past.)
Killed it on the SW side of the Engine of the Makers, flying SW towards Bor's Breath. 5.38pm Server (10:38am local, GMT+10), Destromath (US).
Best of luck all, shows never giving up will eventually pay off in this case.

I have been camping on and off the last 6 months, and today, 1:15 AM to be exact, i logged in on my Main who was already in storm peaks, and the baby itself spawned right under me. I feel bad though, since people have been camping for ages - but i got it. After almost a heartattack and some mumbling. I could actually know what to do, since I was in shock. But i got her.
Probably true what they say, that the proto-drake now spawnes more often.

JUST GOT MY PROTO! 3 days camping got him in Bor's Breath spawn point. I had me and 2 friend camping his spawns and I was running my other account's 85 pally all through northrend killing other rare spawns to push the timer. Best way to get it is to get help and camp the spawns dont just circle around routes. He spawned directly on top of me in Bor's Breath. I can confirm with you that killing other rares all over northrend seemed to of reduced the spawn length. Wish you all luck! I am going to end my insomnia!b]

I've been camping it for months. I'm always in the spot between Bor's Breath and Valkyrion. And after 10/20 minutes I just go around to check the other spawn points (counter clockwise). Still no luck :( . I haven't even watched the corpse, It seems it spawns almost never in my realm (Ragnaros - PvP)

"Got" it today @ Ragnaros (Ulduar Spawn) 02:39 server time.
why the ""? Because we were camping it with a friend of mine, he killed it while I was watching and for some reason I wasn't eligible for looting it, anyway, the drake was meant for me so he agreed to not learn the mount and we opened a ticket.
Unreal, after months of camping :( . Also everyone in the wow forums are saying that it's pretty impossible to get the item moved to my char :( I'm losing all hope :(
/Edit: GM didn't wanted to move it, lots of months wasted, excellent. Who was talking about the saddest story about this?

I consider meself abit lucky on this one, mainly due to the fact that i actually found it, alive. Camped for tlpd on and of for about a year and nearly a month ago it spawned out of bors breath. The main reason I managed to get my hands on this stunning drake is because its a low populated server and pve (nagrand EU). There were no hordie around, nor were there any alliance players around, after my kill about 3pm in the afternoon an ally showed up about 1 min later, i do consider it being well late for him, no competition really:) So my recomendation is that if you really want this mount, boost your odds by playing on a less populated server.
I also just want to say that in the last year ive been very very lucky with mount farming, got fed up with raiding and decided to experience the farming approach of wow, since the release of cataclysm ive got time-lost, ultra-marine battle tank, blue proto, raven lord and that mount from mgt (forgiving droprate tho). So in my case id just wanna point out that if you do get fed up with camping tlpd, go do some other stuff like farming setthek halls, utgarde pinnacle, mgt or any other place that you find appealing in your quest for sweet mounts.
Good luck, Glenngaug nagrand EU

Found 15.16 @ Sunstrider.
I had left my toon (after doing some searching yesterday) at imo the best camping place for time-lost, which is at 29,66. I logged in and my npcscan went all crazy, and there it was, Time-lost proto-drake flying behind me from Valkyrion and turning in to Bor's breath.
Never seen the corpse or anything of time-lost proto-drake or even vyragosa before.

allright, i've been looking for this NPC for 2-5 hours allmost everyday for 3months now, am i just unlucky or what? is it worth to coninue looking for this creature?, i've spotted him dead once, Vyragosa alive once and dead once,
so my suggestion to players who just want a Proto Drake, go for another one.

Got him! After months!
After I got Aeonaxx's mount, I tried to get this guy. When I first arrived at Storm Peaks, NPC scan go off: Time-Lost, but a Night Elf killed it before me. I was sad... after this, I returned 1 month later and did some hard camp and killed Vyragosa a lot. When Firelands arrived, I stopped again. Yesterday I tried again and camped for 4 hours and nothing. Returned today for more 4-5 hours and...
Server: Gurubashi
16:17 here so... 11:17 server time.
At 14h I spotted a camper at Frozen Lake, so I camped the waterfall.
30 min later the camper disappeared, so I camped the Multi-Path Spot. NPC scan do his job and I was OMG, where? He wasn't at the frozen river, he was behind me. He stunned me in the air, but Iceblock saved me and I killed him near 40,70 at the village.
Probably spawn location: Brunnhildar.

I JUST GOT HIM, IM SHAKING, ive done about 2 months of camping and 100+ hours with 4 vyragosa kills. During that time ive had issues with npcscan and i deleted my cache and made sure vyragosa and time lost proto drake were on the searching list too and ect, for 3 of my vyragosa kills i just got lucky and noticed her on my screen, today i was just camping at around 6:30pm server, 5 MINUTES AGO! anyway i just happened to glance at my screen while playing on my xbox 360 and noticed the bastard flying away into the distance from the frozen lake heading towards the crash site. I basically got very lucky that i looked at my screen because of stupid npc scan. ANYWAY GUYS NEVER GIVE UP ON CAMPING THIS MOUNT! I never thought the day would come that i would be writing a post about me getting the time lost proto drake. I really enjoyed reading everyone elses stories about their time lost proto drake experience and everything. GOOD LUCK GUYS, IM STILL SHAKING LOL, ITS BEEN 10 MINS NOW SINCE I KILLED THE BASTARD!

got my 5th time lost proto drake today at 16:45 server time shattered hand (US) at the frozen lake spawn location. just decided to camp the storm peaks for about 2 days. covered the village spawn point as well as the frozen lake location. had 4 vyragosa kills, 3 spawning at the brun village mountain side and 1 at the waterfall. the same thing happened as always after the kill being that about 1 or 2 minutes later another player came flying by. they said their two cents via emote.
this was the only one of 5 that i have personally seen during the day hours. all of the previous have spawned between 1200am-7am. i have previously killed vyragosa a little bit after midnight and have bagged time lost at 3am. was watching crocodile dundee and my npcscan blew up. so there most likely is no set spawn timer. just pure luck. i dont know if i am just lucky when it comes to time lost but i am going to head to the store and buy a few lotto tickets. good luck hunting

I just spotted TLPD on Nordrassil realm at 3.20 am first time ever after a month of research and occasional camping. Saw Vyra twice before and Dirkee and that rare wolf once before last week.
Was camping at the Frozen Lake when NPCSCAN buzzed and seeing TLPD made my heart beat so fast lol Flying close to him, i aggroed and pulled him down to the floor on the falls itself. Killed it in less than a minute and cant believe that i'm flying my first ever proto drake.
Thanks for all the guide here and at tlpdresource.com and good luck to all of you !

Time-Lost Proto Drake was dead at about 3.30am server time.(Killed him when he was flying towards Snowdrift plains from Valkyrion)
Monday Night: i had killed Vyragosa at like 4.00am server time. i am not sure if TLPD or Vyragosa got killed before Tuesday Night(the Night i got the kill) after my kill on Vyragosa at Monday Night.
All i can say is i got extremely lucky. Best of luck to all of u who are hunting time-lost!

Guys, I just made an account to share something that I never thought it would happen, no matter the research I have read and made. I have seen the TLPD 7 times (yes, you read correctly, 7 times from which only 1 was dead). The last one was the most weird of all. I killed Vyragosa at the spawn point of the Engine of the Makers (next to the Broodmother's nest). The TLPD spawned 32 minutes later at the waterfall, at a very low altitude (second blue "stair" of the waterfall). I havent read anywhere that people saw him in such a short period of time after Vyragosa's kill. I just wanted to share and see what you think about it.

I spended so many hours trying to farm this mount for more than a month. Then i gave up due the well non-existing mob.
I gave up and for a long time i forgot everything about this. Suddenly i felt bored yesterday (02-09-2011) and I gave it a thought.
I flew around a single time with the recommended routes in Storm Peaks. This gave me nothing.
I stood and camped it in Bor's Breath for 20min, then i felt for some change.. I just flew to the Engine of the Makers and suddenly TLPD appeared on my screen at the coords: 42.62.
I quickly aggroed on it, and killed it.
All in all i spended maximum of 1 hour flying around :)

After a year of camping, i got him tonight. I've camped him off and on for the last year, but in the last 3 months I've camped every night for about 4-5 hours. Tonight, just before i was going to bed, i switched to my toon that lives in Storm Peaks for a final loop. I flew from the frozen lake to the waterfall then took the path to the right through Sifreldar village towards the engine of the makers. I saw and killed TLPD at 42,59 to the right of the Engine of the makers. Also in that past year I have probably killed Vyragosa about 45-60 times.
Server........ Grizzly Hills - US
Time........... 3:36 am server 1:36 local
Location..... 42,59 Engine of the makers
I'm glad the saga is over, but then again I do have another toon... I think I'll enjoy this one for a while.

September 7/2011
This post is just a time stamp, this is my first day of seriously camping for TLPD.
In the past I've changed my flight path while flying from one point to another in the zone or if i'm traveling across the zone so I'd stick to his flight path, but that was more of a "hope to every god i can name for dumb luck" approach. I've started school again, and will be camping while doing homework so as to maintain some semblance of sanity. If you're a student of any kind I'd recommend the same tactic, at least you're getting two birds with one stone.
:edit1: added an actual date, rather than just counting back the days the way the forum usually does.
:edit2: less than 12 hours in and I get a kill on Dirkee at 0515 server time, on September the 8th.
:edit3: Sept 21, at 1916 server time I downed Vyragosa again, now to check back in 8 and 16 hours to see what comes up.
:edit4: 8 and16 hours later and nothing, a little disappointing but oh well.
:edit5: Sept 27 1742 server time, killed Vyragosa again.
:edit6: Sep 29th 1018 server time, bagged and tagged him. Found him in Bors breath, around 28.4, 64.8. He was traveling south along his path through Valkyrion village into Bor's breath where the frozen lake is.
22 days of semi-serious farming, all things considered, that's pretty good time.

so i found time-lost today, at 12:16 server (Detheroc) and the information that i used from a fellow guildy was that after server reset (tuesday) his spawn time is 9 or 18 hours, so after 9 hours from server reset i found vyragosa i killed her and then took off, 9 hours later i go back and sit for an hour or so and nothing, 18 hours from when i saw Vyragosa i go back and lo and behold TLPD is there! i tag and bag and now am super stoked about flying around with him now i am gonna see if the timer is consistent so i'll have another update later on tonight/tomorrow

I just got this beauty a little bit ago on Frostwolf, at around 8:30 pm server time. Vyragosa was killed at around 3:30 pm or a bit earlier... just saw her corpse and I heard that it takes a bit to despawn so..
I'm just incredibly happy right now though. I was doing archaeology in Valkyrion? I think its called when my NPC scanner went off. Quickly hopped on my mount and flew up to him, one shotted him with chimera and fell to my death :P Flew back to loot just as another 85 hunter came by.. Stayed there for about 5 more minutes just in shock, couldn't move.. Saw three more players fly by. I'm not really one to camp a spot... I usually only stay for about an hour or so or fly through the area quickly. Can't stay in one spot for long.. so I was very doubtful I'd find this guy... and for him to fly right into me like that... miracle. I did of course visit storm peaks more frequently today sense I saw Vyragosa earlier, and I knew that after she was killed he would spawn next, but still.

Finally obtained 9/9/2011 at 2:42 AM EST, The Forgotten Coast, US Realm. Spawned at Frozen Lake, I was tabbed out, and could'nt hear npc scan, tabbed back in, saw it went off, and the adrenaline made me friggin shake...lol. Quickly looked down the paths and there he was flying away....mounted, caught up, tagged, killed, looted...woohoo:):). Comparatively, I have only searched for about 3 weeks for him.
Screenshot submitted with time and all ( might not get approved as I didn't clear the UI and had a little "language" in a rather excited General Chat post )....after 900 comments I doubt it helps much, but honestly my strategy was seemingly alot less "Time-Lost"...I have sat there watching TV for hours just camping the first week (listening to EVERY other advice I could find). After getting tired of that after a week, I set my hearth to Storm Peaks. ANY time I hearth, I take a quick flight path around the waterfall to frozen lake area and back then follow it as long as possible on the way to Dalaran. This takes all of 2-3 minutes at most. My thinking: by covering 1. The most popular spawn point, 2. Intersecting FP's at Waterfall and Frozen Lake area, I would be maximizing my odds while maintaing game play. We all hearth enough that, by doing this you will cover this FP many times in a day and not even notice it. In 2 weeks time with this strategy I have killed Vyragosa 4 times and Time Lost now with virtually no downtime game play. The first week of straight camping for literally hours on end, 2 Vyragosa kills with hours of downtime. Percentage wise, my way actually worked better. End Result for me anyway: Time Lost Proto-Drake without the Time Lost.
Good Luck and Happy Hunting
Can downrate if you like, I don't post for ratings, I post to provide info to even one person it might help...and it did. Since spawn times have changed dramatically, you have to change strategies too if you wanna maintain game play and get this drake. The person I told my "strategy" to on my realm said he has been camping time lost for 3 years with different toons and was honestly jealous when i found mine so easy; so I explained everything I just wrote, we make mount runs together, every time he hearthed to K3, he took the waterfall/frozen lake/ to dalaran. Took him 5 days to get Drake. Again no Time Lost. Needless to say he was shaking as much I was when I found mine, and was forever grateful I saved his sanity. So camp if you feel you must, but it seems people can still go weeks without seeing him. Too many other rare mounts to lose so much game time over one. Again The Forgotten Coast Realm, His kill was 9pm EST Saturday, September 17th.

I have been camping the normal way for the Time-Lost Proto-Drake on the realm Frostmane ever since I hit 80 in wotlk. By "normal" I mean checking in for the occassional 4-8 hour camp whenever the mood was right, also made sure to take flights in a manner to make them coincide with one or several of TLPD's spawnpoints. I killed Vyragosa a few times over the course of many months, but I never even saw as much as a corpse of the Proto-Drake.
Well, im not "that" person who just gets stuff by dumb luck. I knew it would boil down to that special farm when you sit your ass down, do what you should and not move until it has payed off. This is often my general way to tackle things in WoW, but when it comes to the TLPD this method could also be your sanitys demise.
The 5th of September I started my
"Camp-or-Die"
mission, to stalk the possible TLPD spawnpoints 24/7 until I had the mount in my bags and a grin on my face. This means being within an available range to the computer at all hours, and mostly by it since you really want to be ready for the drake once it pops. You never know who is flying by and when, running from the kitchen or bathroom have cost many people their TLPD's, im sure.
So, I set up camp and I was not going to logout until I had the drake.
(Except briefly to clear cache)
This is my story of a camp concluding over 170 hours of staying close to your computer
(90% of the time by it)
, powernaps, smokes, instant noodles and more patience than a common man ever brings around.
Day 1:
No rares sighted, started camping towards the evening so one could not call it a full 24-hour camp.
Day 2:
Early in the morning my NPCscan goes off for the first time since i started camping.
6/9 - kl 04:38 - Vyragosa
After camping for another 10 hours after the first Vyragosa kill i started getting more and more company, so I decided to take a small tour to check the 3 other spawnpoints with a slight brim of hope to get the edge of these challengers in case TLPD would have popped at another spawn.
My NPCscan goes off!
and....
TLPD lies motionless at the very spawnpoint i had left 2 minutes ago.
Here's where something I'd like to call "Rule #1" came into play: Do NOT leave your camp. Ever.
6/9 - kl 15:01 - Time-Lost Proto-Drake
Congratulations you chivalrous dude who had the dumb luck that I myself never had the pleasure to experience.
TLPD, as dead as he gets.
Day 3:
I spend the entire 24 hours of this day by the computer, a quick powernap here and there to make sure i can stay vigilant. Any nap is not longer than 20 minutes, and the volume of NPCscan is always on an earpiercingly dangerous volume.
No rares sighted that day, morale is ofcourse low since TLPD spawned the other day.
Not expecting to see him again soon.
Day 4:
More tiresome camping, after camping for about a days time the NPCscan picks off another target. It's Vyragosa again, i swiftly deliver her to her ancestors.
8/9 - kl 13:30 - Vyragosa
Day 5:
Early in the morning i wake up of the NPCscan, in a complete daze and all i can make out at first is that it's not Vyragosa. I rub my eyes throughly, and yep. It was just Skoll playing me a prank by spawning slightly north of the frozen lake spawnpoint.
9/9 - kl 05:05 - Skoll
I keep camping, and after only 8½ hours NPCscan goes off again! It's Vyragosa who spawns right at my feet.
9/9 - kl 13:35 - Vyragosa
Feeling like quite the Vyragosa slayer I keep up my diligent camping, and after about 9½ hours my NPCscan goes apes, off the charts, letting it loose, busting a cap. It had found Vyragosa yet again.
9/9 - kl 22:56 - Vyragosa
Day 6:
Today i started my day with a cup of coffee, toast and a Vyragosa kill!
10/9 - kl 08:59 - Vyragosa
Doing precisely what i had been doing so far - which is nothing - i kept my stand for another 7 hours and NPCscan goes off for the 2nd time this day! As per usual my hearts jumps to my throath. It's Vyragosa again, sup?
10/9 - kl 16:14 - Vyragosa
Day 7:
Spendning pretty much 23 hours of camping is extremely boring, especially since not a single mob has popped those hours. But hey, one who waits for something good.... My NPCscan went off for the first and last time of the 7th day camping aaaaand....
11/9 - kl 15:24 - Vyragosa
Day 8:
Yet again im camping for almost a full 24 hours without any reactions. I decide to go take a piss, I had afterall been holding it in for quite some time. Obviously, right as i went down to business I hear NPCscans rumbling noise. I dropped everything I was doing (Oh crap!), leapt to the livingroom and handflipped in slowmotion over the sofa which i had stationed directly in front of the computer. Halfway through the air i catch a glimpse of the the Time-Lost Proto-Drake tagged by NPCscan, and even better, I am hovering right on top of it!
However, out of NOWHERE 3 players dismounts from thin air, rushing towards the TLPD. It didn't take them more than 5 seconds to arrive like hungry vultures circling the area! The drake were however already slain by my hands since I camped like a good boy directly on one of the spawns.
12/9 - kl 00:15 - Time-Lost Proto-Drake
Slain before my feet!
I lost the TLPD one (
1
) time because I left the spawn, and I also got him one (
1
) time because I didn't! :)
I hope that proves helpful to someone trying to decide how to camp for the drake.
Whatever you do, don't give up!
It will just be (and feel) more awesome when he finally spawns and you happen to be holding a trigger-happy finger on a nice instant cast. ;)
After adding up the hours i landed at slightly more than ~170 hours of constant camping and I can finally relax!
Killed by the Frozen lake mountain-side spawnpoint, the same place where I camped every single hour of this
camp-or-die

Finally, after almost 3 weeks of camping, over 160 hours, some for 11-14 hours straight, I FINALLY got TLPD yesterday!
Toon

Kasstra
, 85 Hunter
Realm
: Aegwynn, US
Location
: Bor's Breath Spawn Location
Time
: 11:31am Server time (Central)
Spawn Location
: Frozen Waterfall, patting East and came into Frozen Lake
I have to first say I am pregnant so my emotions are multiplied times 1000. XD So I have been camping this wonderful drake for so long. About four or five days into my camping, I ended up meeting another hunter who was looking for it. We started talking and ended up becoming friends. Her second day of camping, she got TLPD around 8:19pm server time. I was not on at the time but I was a bit upset knowing he spawned when I was gone. But I was happy for her. So I continued to camp with some hope he would spawn.
Yesterday, I ran my Molten Dailies then ran my solo dungeons for Raven Lord, White Hawkstrider then Blue Proto. After I finished UP, I decided I should go back and camp Bor's Breath. I just had one of those odd, back of the mind things telling me I should go. So I went, plopped down on the mountain and just left WoW running and pulled up my browser like I usually do and started talking to my friends at TLPDresource.com in the chatroom. Here we where joking around and goofing off like usual, trying to keep our sanity and my scanner goes off. I think, "Oh great. It is troll Vyra again." I just casually glance over and see my NPCscan's target had TLPD spinning. I flipped out. I started screaming, "OMFG! OMFG!" My husband glanced over at me thinking I had lost what bit of a mind I had left over. He then realized I had found TLPD and just watched me spaz out and start my hysterical crying/laughing. As I aggro him and pull him down to the frozen lake bed, I am still just shocked into stupidity as I am still freaking out.
After killing him, I just sit there laughing and crying that it was FINALLY over. My husband started laughing at me because of how I was and made a comment that I was "defiantly feeling those pregnancy hormones". I have never freaked out like this before. When I found Aeonaxx and got my PSD, I just sat there silent, holding my breath while I killed him. I never squealed, cried or anything. xD
I can say though, don't ever give up on hunting him. I know it can seem like a royal pain and like he will never spawn. But just never give up. If you want more information on how to find him, EXACT spawn locations and such. I must suggest Ponderance's website,
www.TLPDresouce.com
. He knows what he is talking about and has collected a bunch of very helpful and useful information. The chatroom is very nice and I made such great friends there, and even though I found TLPD, I plan to stick with the guys/girls there for a very long time. :)
Good Hunting!

Since the Shattering, rare spawns in Northrend (and Outlands) have had their respawn timers reduced, drastically.
There has only been one other respawn time similar to this between Time-Lost and Vyragosa, and that was around 45mins apart.
A lot of people who did some studys of Time-Lost would like to see it more, but it's a very rare thing to see as of now. As time goes on though, RNG will display itself more and maybe we will see it more often.

Was doing tournament dailies when I took a spin around Storm Peaks. NPC scanner went off, informing me Skoll had just spawned. Killed him, and was cruising the forums looking to see if he shared a spawn timer with TLPD. I tab back, to fine that Time-Lost triggered NPC scanner. Killed it, and finally have my mount.
Was downed just east of Nidaviler, on top of the ice falls. If you have NPC tracker, its was at the point where the paths meet.
Good luck.

Got my TLPD on US - Blackwing Lair at 9:25pm server. I used to camp the spawn point by Temple of Storms on my paladin (Valashar US - Daggerspine) but never had any luck. I collect mounts on him so this is somewhat bittersweet getting it on another toon, but boy it feels good still.
My advice: if you know the spawn points, and the patrolling and such, don't worry so much. I hated when I used to camp him and its better just to let it happen if it happens. Chances are, you'll get it eventually.

After years of knowing about him but not actively trying to find him, I got my TLPD today at 10.02am Ahn'qiraj - EU.
He was flying through the Engine of the Makers eastward and at quite a high altitude. I just that second left my dungeon group after finishing, loaded and got deafened by NPCscan saying it had been found. I had trouble actually tagging it on my mage, slowfall and arcane barrage didn't seem to work. I managed to follow it from Engine of the Makers, through the Terrace of the Makers and down to Ulduar in an anticlockwise direction on the map, quaranteeing that this was at least half of one of its flightpaths, then finally tagging it with spellsteal.

I've heard of this since WOTLK first came out and decided to hunt for it as soon as I hit 80 and that's what I done. Admittedly I'm nowhere near as hardcore as some people are here but I definitely spent my time in The Storm Peaks.
So today, I though I might have some luck. Flew around the general are for a few minutes. Came here to look at comments. Noticed that my NPC Scan was out of date and updated it. Thought I'd refresh my memory on spawn locations and decided to camp just at Bor's Breath. Within seconds it had spawned and naturally panicked. Cancelled my current mount, used Slow Fall and one hit the b*****d =D

Got mine the other day with a group of friends, weren't even trying to get it. We were doing Glory of the Hero achievements and Halls of Lightning was the next stop. As we're flying there, one of my friends who's tried farming it before says "I'll give you 5k if you see TLPD", another one of my friends doesn't even know what it is says in a calm and confused tone "I think I found it..." and we thought he's just bluffing.
I fly over there, NPCScan goes off, yelling and screaming in horror ensues around vent.

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!

I just got it 5:58pm Server Time! (Nagrand - US)s
I was questing in Storm Peaks near the Vyrkuls (I can't spell it :P) and NPCscan went spastic! I started to panic and shake but I tried to keep my cool and whipped up a macro - /tar Time-Lost.
I put it my action-bar and spammed it. As soon as it was my target, I saw it in the near distance, flew towards it and dotted it up. I levitated down (I think it was near Bor's Breath).
I killed him with ease and he dropped his reins. I learned them, took a Screenshot and flew away ^^
Too bad it was on an alt :(

Got mine this morning. 6:48 AM ~ Zangarmarsh US.
Started off camping, found 4 Vyragosa, 2 Dirkee and 3 Skoll. So tried the same as another poster. Set my hearth to Frosthold and did a circuit every time I was heading to Stormwind. Just happened to log in and leave myself by Bor's this morning while I went for a shower and when I came out - boom - he was beneath me.
So glad that's done...

I killed the TLPD on Wednesday September the 28th on the Hydraxis server. He was flying by the side of the mountain just south of The Temple of Storms in the Bor's Breath valley. I found him at 5:17 pm Eastern Standard Time. At the time of the kill I was camping a ridge of the southern mountain that sits just south of The Temple of Storms, I used NPC scan and i cleared my creature cache proir to camping him. I suggest using snowfall lager or some other slowfall potion, because upon engaging him he dismounts you and you can fall to your death. Please feel free to post any questions you have or message me ingame! Good luck and Happy Hunting!

This is my story......
3 years camping this beast...
I was ninja'd the beast for more then once! ( most of the times by freaking mages! )
Last week I decided to go on CAMP - OR - DIE mission...
I spend day by day waiting for him to come... but only Vyras where coming along.. ( Damm I hate that blue drag. )
I used 2 accounts 1 camping at ulduar ( since no one ever patrols there )
And one in bor's breath rest of the 2 spawn points where being camped by my mates..
Which I thank very much.
After 37 Vyragosas... (200hrs)
BOOM TLPD SPAWNS! so exited i start flying to Ulduar where my other alt is... but then I tab to h im and boom wat he was scanned from my DK! I was so exited I didn't even notice lool
I tab back to my dk and BOOM! there he is under me! coming from Bor's fall spawn! since that was the only spawn point open!
Using
#showtooltip skyguard's drape
/dismount
/use skyguard's drape
While I got close to him i spam howling blast! seeing him fall was the best moment in my life!
I'm not really a lucky guy I've been farming stuff for 3years like rare mounts and stuff for my dk and I never get any loot I want..
Worth it? Yes he is worth wasting time from your real life... but then again guys if you want this mount be ready for hell........ TIME will be your worst nightmare!
Unless you get really lucky!
But once you start camping you don't go back cause your like! No don't give up now! not now after all that time wasted! so you will eventually stay.... till you get him.. depressed.
I wanna thank the fallowing people for helping me ... These are people that I met on WoW... They spent time camping with me in order to get my Wish TLPD... so yeah guys Virtual friends are still possible ! they can still be trusted not all but some are special..
Thanks

Just got mine at 8:20pm firetree. i farmed for 7 weeks but im not happy i have it. Zare, a friend i met while farming had been there about 2 weeks longer than me. I had been dual boxing with my friends account for a few of the weeks and when i saw my friend had logged off i logged on to dual box. the second i logged on to my friends account my npcscan blarred and i rushed over, shaking like crazy not sure if i could belive what i was seeing. the second i got there i dismounted, parachuted and tagged and killed. the moment i killed i realized what i had done, my friend zare had been there first trying to tag but being unsuccesful because he was a rogue. Long story short i accidentally stole it from him. He didnt say it but by his shortness of words to me and how he just stood there staring at the corpse, i could tell he was beyond upset. As i write this i still feel terrible and would just like to let Zare know, i am extremely sorry. I would like to tell all fellow campers who have made friends during camping, do not make the same mistake i did or u may lose a friend

I was in Icecrown near the Citadel when a rare popped up on the screen, but then it vanished and another rare appeared, so I assumed that one had timed-out and a new one had taken it's place. It made me think that if the Rares had timed out and started over, that maybe the Time Lost Drake just appeared at Storm Peaks. I flew there, strangely confident of my speculation-based theory but sure enough, as I flew over the iced-up Waterfall directly underneath Temple of Storms, BAM! Time-lost drake. I'd been searching for years and there she was. Coincidence? I don't think so. If that ever happens to you, get your butt over there asap!

I got my TLPD a couple of weeks ago on a Tuesday 8:30PM UK time on Bronze Dragonflight EU at Bors Breath. After about a year of camping TLPD when i first heard about it from a friend who had been camping it longer than i have, i stop'd camping it halfway through the year until recently. A week before i found it NPCscan screamed in my ears i panicked as soon as i got to bors breath i found it dead with a Human Hunter next to it i asked some questions confirming it was this hunter that killed it eventually more people showed up but we all shrugged it off and wished eachother GL so a week later after solidly camping it a guildy told me some advice about when it should spawn conveniently he said 8:45PM on a tuesday... it was tuesday i saw my oppertunity i camped for atleast 4 hours encountering someone who had a go at me for having a green proto drake and camping time lost but not long after that my NPCscan screamed at me Time-Lost Proto-Drake it spawned behind me! i shouted HOLY SH*T! and literaly started shaking everyone in my house heard me shout and came upstairs to my room to see what was going on i quickly dismounted and used snowfall lager. When i looted it i felt happy VERY happy i finnaly got the damn thing!
I hope this helps im not sure if it will but i hope it does! good luck and happy hunting! :)

Finally found the Time-Lost Proto Drake today, 10/12, on Skywall-US, at 6:15pm local time (3:15 server). I've been camping one of the spawn points for about a month, when I decided to make a quick circuit to see if Skoll or Dirkee was around. I was heading generally south from Brunnhildar Village toward K3 when Silver Dragon lit up, and there he was, flying north almost right at me. Aggroed him and pulled him down toward the ground, and that was that. So stoked, I killed freaking Vyragosa almost 20 times before finally finding the dragon I wanted.

don't know if it was a coincidence or not. but about 5-10mins after, i was at deepholm and i saw someone floating around the spawn area for aeonaxx with the phosphorescence drake. it was an alliance so i couldnt talk to him but maybe they share the same spawn timers?
anyway good-luck to all still looking for this mount!

Managed to kill the Time-Lost this morning just before going to work, in the process i have collected some data which might be of some value :)
Server: Neptulon EU, character: Sarila; time: 06:47 am
Had been camping him for around a week, up to 8 or 9 hours a day while watching lots of series/movies in the meantime.
During that time i found a lot of dirkee and skoll spawns and even more vyra's. I only wrote down some info the last 3 days:
14th of Oct: TLPD killed supposedly 12:00 ish at noon, unconfirmed; ulduar
15th of Oct: 01:00 am, TLPD killed above Valkyrion, confirmed (saw it lying dead); out of ulduar/terrace direction,
15th of Oct: 16:30 pm, TLPD killed at Bor's breath, spawned at waterfall (bor's fall) confirmed.
16th of Oct: 11:30 am, Vyragosa killed at brunnhildar village, confirmed.
16th of Oct: 19:00 pm, Vyragosa killed at Bor's breath/frozen lake, confirmed
17th of Oct: 06:47 am npc scan went loco at bor's breath when i logged on without any hopes whatsoever. He literally spawned on top of me above the frozen lake favo camp spot and went in the direction of valkyrion, terrace, did a loop around the area over engine and back. Killed him at his original spawnpoint after failing 2 times in trying to bring him down while he was doing his round..
Yes, i was really freaked out.. and yes, i should have downed him earlier but so happy to have him.
What has been said is true: the satisfaction of finally getting this drake is immense, good luck to you all :)
some additional info, was still in the are and a friend is still trying to obtain her:
17th of Oct: 14:05 pm, Vyragosa killed at frozen lake, out of Ulduar direction, confirmed
17th of Oct: 19:00 pm, Vyragosa killed Brunnhildar village, confirmed
So far its all random, as said before; only thing i have noticed is time in between Vyra spawns is way less than when a TLPD appears: usually Vyra takes only up to 8 hours to spawn, TLPD goes well over. Again, dont give up, you will get lucky one day !

I dont have a ton to add, I did get mine this morning (Oct 18th, 2011) at about 6am on US-Dark Iron (A).
I get up pretty early for work, but I took basically a full year off of the game just before Cataclysm came out until about four weeks ago. Since I've returned I've been doing my Polar Bear daily over my morning coffee with the population light, in hopes of getting that, while tacitly poking around for TLPD.
Today I got the aberration daily, and on my way back, _NPC SCAN started buzzing over TLPD. I found it pretty close to the ground along the west side near the village where you do aberration.
Close to the ground part might be key for some folks. I play a rogue and it was really quite easy to engage and slay him. At 85 with pretty good gear he was essentially a two-shot.
Got an Adventurers Satchel, the drake, and a blue 77ish item. I farmed it pretty casually so it feels like quite the coup, but with all the mounts in the game now and a couple of Flameblood Firehawks or whatever on our server, it feels a little less special. That said, it'll be the only mount I am on for awhile :)

I havent camped for this mount in a few months, so I thought I would sit for awhile, I had some stuff to do around the house. I checked every few minutes. I camped at one of the known spawn points. Slightly NE of Frosthold facing Temple of Storms.
The last time I checked my npc was going off. I found him flying over Bor's Fall. I flew up to him to aggro him and he knocked me off my mount and splat! I ran back to my body real quick. He made it almost to the spot where I was camping, just past the smaller falls at Bor's Breath. I aggro'ed him again, used killing spree and he was dead. :)
Happy Hunting!

A lot of people seem to be stuck between using NPC Scan or Silver Dragon addons, so here are my experiences with both. Please note that these speculations are made from using the DEFAULT settings of both addons to give a more "fair" comparison.
NPC Scan
seems to be a scanner that is more geared towards BC/LK/Cata rares. When a rare spawn is detected, a simple dialog pops up letting you know, along with a default war-drums sound. With it's overlay
NPC Scan Overlay
, you can have a color coded overlay applied directly to your in-game world map/mini map. I have found that the drop zones are pinpoint accurate, having used it to kill almost every rare mob in the eastern half of Northrend in under an hour. If you download NPC Scan, this overlay is a must. Very nifty. Another use for this addon is that it can also be customized to search for and target custom non-rare NPCs. Many people use it to find NPCs that often move or have limited time spawns.
Ensure to clear your cache often if you wish NPC Scan to auto-target rare mobs after you have killed them previously.
Instructions to do this can be found in the description area in the link provided.
Silver Dragon
is another rare mob finder that compliments NPC Scan very nicely. It appears, at least in my experiences, that NPC Scan does not scan for "vanilla" rares in Eastern Kingdoms or Kalimdor (other than Cata areas) using the default settings. This addon will detect these mobs and pop up a dialog that alerts you as well as shows you a picture of the rare mob. It also detects most BC/LK/Cata rares as well.
Both of these addons are wonderful, but it has been my experience that NPC Scanner has a much wider default scanning ability than Silver Dragon. However, I would recommend that you download and use both simultaneously. Often both have detected the same rare at the same time, but there are instances where I would not have detected a rare had I not been using both. When the dialog of either pops up, simply click it to auto target the rare and then do your thing.
On a side note, if you ever see a rare doing something previously undocumented or spawning in a new location, make sure to report it via this site. You're contribution are what makes addons like this possible.
And of course, make sure to check out the
Wowhead Client
. All of the statistics and drop zones you use on the site were compiled by this program. It also adds a very nifty "master addon" to WoW, putting an icon around the mini-map that lets you control all installed addons. The more people that use it the more accurate we can calculate mob drops (rare, elite, or plain normal.)
If you think that this post would be useful to someone getting into "bounty hunting" for the first time, please rate it up. I feel that this specific thread is where this post may be most useful. Also, if you have information about useful advanced settings, or experiences of your own, please post here.

Got up today and logged onto WoW. I had camped in Storm Peaks last night and went to bed because I was going to try for Time-Lost for a few hours this morning. I camped on the frozen lake. Let it log on while I was in the kitchen getting my whelpling (kid) breakfast. NPC_SCAN goes off and I don't run out because I figure it would be Vyragosa. So I kinda "meh" and keep getting my kid food while my hubby checks. Then all the sudden my husband goes "OH MY FKKIN GOD! TIME-LOST! IT'S TIME-LOST!" and I shat myself. Lol he barely ever spawns since his spawn rate is VERY low and Vyragosa always spawns so I figured it would be her. It can take up to months for Time-Lost to even spawn once. I'm so glad he checked so I didn't fkkin miss it. But, if you're camping him, keep it up and stay determined! You'll get him eventually!
Way better then Aeonaxx I think! Aeonaxx is derpy looking, the only cool thing about him is the purple. I'm so glad I didn't sleep in longer or choose to log onto WoW a little bit later. LOL. =D I luuuv Protodrakes! My second fav dragon model is the Netherwing drakes.

Almost three years of camping, already have 132 mounts.. And this has finally spawned for me. I killed Vyragosa at around 7:25pm (server: Undermine) and at 12:56am NPCscan went off with TLPD flying low over Bor's Breath.
I suggest to everyone searching for this mount to camp at Bor's Breath. A total of 5-6 paths can cross there since Time-Lost does the laps clockwise or anti clockwise and there is also a spawn there or two.
I also used the addons NPCscan and NPCscan Overlay
I wish the best of luck to everyone going for this, it is worth it!

Well after spending hours searching for it. I got it ! Was camping in front of Ulduar and he came flying by. Tagged him and I am now the proud owner of the Time Lost Proto Drake.
For those of you still looking, don't give up ! Be persistent you will find it.
I will add pics later, as I'm newly registered and cant add inks yet.

My brother camped this for three weeks, six hours a day and saw 14 vyragosa's, a dead TLPD and obviously the time lost proto drake that he killed in the end. The 2 drakes (TLPD and Vyra) do share a 6-8 hour spawn but often the spawn timer was shorter than that due to people killing rares in Northrend that speed up the spawn timers. When he got it, I decided to start camping. It took me a week to get the mount, monday to friday: 6 hours a day, saturday 14 hours and sunday ten hours. On the Sunday night the time lost proto drake spawned right on my spawn at Brunnhildar and I tagged and bagged it. Very nice mount, beats all proto drakes other than plagued and black in rarity and looks better than all of the others in my opinion. :D Happy camping!

Managed to snag mine today by pure stupid luck. I have camped this thing forever with no luck. I was flying on my way to get Jormungar eggs and flew near Frosthold and NPCscan went off. On my 85 mage, flew near the ground, hit it with a frost bolt and down it went. I haven't used NPCscan for long, but I will continue to use it now.

I've been camping for this in about 1 month binges since WotLK launch. Doesn't actually exist, in my opinion. I've clocked over 1,500 hours at Bor's Breath spawn point, as of now, I have killed Vyragosa 55 times. This is quite a hunt.

When i was sitting and mining just like that i saw a portal opening in the sky only for seconds (not very high) and a gold dragon came out.. didnt realy care at start but then it came to me that its the Lost-Time dragon... :\ when i killed it o got the dragon it was about 6:34 AM before i go to work, when i got the dragon friends didnt believe me. One friend of mine has being looking for him for about 1 year he never got the chance to meat him yet (he wasent looking for him all the time only for 1 hour and he gave up). The dragon is rare believe me, my friend waited fot it for a week and just when he nearly gave up he was on a mounten dancing near and at that moment he saw a dragon below and i couldent see it at start so he went down and killed it he got the dragon to,i believe it takes 4-5 days for it to appear again, im not sure.. i saw you guys say it appears every 6 hours, i dont believe that, i believe its luck for someone to find him. cause in the server i play only 4 ppl have him and the 2 of them is me and my friend. I see you guys have marked the places coreclty. I believe the dragon appears at times as 6:30 AM and 12:00 PM it only stays for about 5 minutes.. i RECOMMENT to you to kill it instantly you havent got much time to kill it :D it does weak dmg not to strong but it has some teleportation skills dosent go far only behind you :) you will see when you find him GOOD luck find him i believe the times i gave are corect about 80%. GOOD luck again!
When it disapears it opens e yellow portal and goes inside it usualy its near Brunnhildar Village at 46.3/62.1 AT 6:34AM :)

Well! I have the horror story of horror stories for this mount!
As a resto druid, I was camping this this for a rogue that was camping Deepholm, and I had been there for awhile after killing Vyragosa in the morning, then came back a few hours later and it spawned at the Engine of the Makers! I was absolutely shocked, but managed to group summon the mount collector rogue in my group that really wants it.
He tries to aggro it by proximity multiple times but it just does not want to aggro! He drops mount, fan of knives, falls to the ground, mounts back up and we follow it as it goes along the frozen river. The rogue lands on a cliff right next to it, but he couldn't use a throwing attack at it either!
I was really afraid that someone else would tag it, so rather than letting him get the kill, I moonfired it and didn't try to catform so took a decent chunk of fall damage, then nature's swiftness'd healed back up.
That's when things got ugly. A horde arcane mage called Leberecht started casting on me. My account was locked, and the mage was able to cast on me for free. Arcane Barrage, then 4 x Arcane Blasts and I died. He didn't imp counterspell or imp poly. I was wearing full honor pvp gear, couldn't barkskin, tree, rejuv, swiftmend, trinket, thorns... nothing. It was heartbreaking. As a resto druid in pvp gear, it's easy for me to survive usually. The rogue in the meantime had mounted and dived towards the TLP, and it evaded as I died and he attacked it. He jumped the mage instead, who managed to go invisible and mount, and the rogue mounted too but the mage one shotted the TLP. The rogue(also in honor gear) killed the mage really easily(he didn't put up much of a fight, probably just knew he "won"), but the mob was tagged and dead. TLP has a bit under 20k apparently and should have died by breathing on it. It didn't look like the mage looted it as he was stunlocked a bit away from it(but may have been able to), and TLP wasn't skinnable if so, and I think the mage spirit ressed as he flew by on the TLP mount a bit later(he could have already have had it).
It was absolutely unbelievable, but it did happen. I am still ticketting GM's as I'm not sure why my account was frozen and it seems extremely suspicious that I get a heal off and then can do absolutely nothing right as the mage appeared. I did go through my combat log. I've seen lvl 1's teleporting through winterspring etc and appearing next to mineral nodes, chests, etc... but nothing like that, and I could find nothing about programs which can freeze someone's UI. It COULD have have been like the worst lag spike in history but my latency was in the green right when I checked straight afterwards(I was so shocked that I didn't check before releasing), and the rogue and mage didn't seem to have it. I love pvp, world pvp, and even high-stakes pvp can be okay, but this was just ridiculous.
Really... FML! Makes me want to quit the game more than anything. The astoundingly horrible mindless wait grind is imo the worst thing possible in wow, but combined with all this... really just =(
(guess my name kind of suits me!)

Some few months ago, I was camping him medium intense for about a week. Didn't find him and gave up.
Today however, I was just helping my friend getting the Sons of Hodir quest chain done. I was omw to Dalaran to buy some rep marks, and BOM! He spawns infront of me as I just landed to summ my friend. Instantly stopped the summon, flew upp and got his attention. Flew down again to a landing spot and killed him. I just could not believe it. I wasn't even thinking about him spawning and all of a sudden he flew infront of me.
I found it at middle height in the mountains surrounding Brumhindal Village (or whatever it is called), flying in from the gap.
NPC scan reccomended. If it werent for NPC Scan, I would never have noticed it.
PS: Found it around 00:00. Just 1 or 2 hours earlier I had killed a rare spawn in Dragonblight. (idk if there is any connection beetween, but worth mentioning).

That is not all, I got Azure drake earlier today, scorchling from Molten Front dailies as well.... and Fox Kit from TB Peninsula.... ALL of this within 24 hours.
Like I said I've farmed rare mounts/pets since they came out and never gotten any mounts by farming, some pets occasionally... the luck I had today is unbelievable.

Being both storyline correct and generally correct, it would appear that the Time Proto Drake spawns from the Engine of Makers and then takes flight towards Valkyrion and circles counter clockwise. I have spotted this drake once, but it got sniped from underneath my nose. :(

Decided to try camping the TLPD, since i need 10 more mounts for the mountain o'mounts! achivement.
Started camping Thursday the 17th of november, used the multi camp spot that tlpdresource said to use if theres hardly anyone on the server.
17/11
11:00am camping starts.
im alt tabbed reading all the comments and watching as many videos as i can on tlpd, determind that i'll get the mount!
02:00pm -
Vyragosa spawns, flying towards frozen lake
falling asleep on the table as i've been up since 6am, soon as npcscan goes of my heart goes funny, see its vyragosa flying and i kill her quickly and loot her but i dont have skinning so im thinking if anyone sees that shes dead they'll end up camping our for tlpd / vyra.
05:46pm -
move camp spot to bor's breath
Someone decided to stack ontop of me, thanks.
07:00pm -
camping ends
Alliance character decided to stack where i was camping at bors breath and started spamming mavros on me
18/11
02:00pm -
camping starts again
feel really hungry, deciding if i should leave pc to get food
03:46pm -
TLPD! (BUT i was afk!) Spawns on bor's breath/frozen lake camp spot.
decided to go have some soup...that soup soon tasted bittersweet. Got back at 03:52 and saw TLPD on my npc scan and was freaking out spamming target macros and there he was! but i was lagging quite badly so all of a sudden he vanished off my screen and i checked and had 700+Ms/latency. Fuuuuuuuuuuuu-
Whisper my friend saying tlpd had spawned but i couldnt see him anyway where, get a whisp back saying someone killed him and his corpse was by bors breath / frosthold so im *assuminng* it may have just been an alliance passing by or something. sobsobsobsobsobsosb. Quit camping for the day.
Going to do what i read a few pages back and camp-or-die starting next week probably, as college is getting in the way.
A bit of information though when vyra spawned on the first day of camping she never spawned again
apparently
- and the only spawn that happend after vyra was infact tlpd, so the spawn timer between the two was around 23+ hours ish. not sure if its any help or not.

Just had TLPD spawn at around 7:15pm server on US Proudmoore. I was flying around and decided to take a quick bio break. during those few minutes, TLPD spawned. I started to fly around again after my break and headed towards Brunnhildar. As I fly in NPC Scan goes off for the drake! My heart instantly started pounding. I couldn't find the drake anywhere. I then used /tar Time only to see that i had just targeted a corpse :( I found him on a ledge just to the southeast of the village. It turns out a priest had tagged him first, but a Horde hunter was some how able to loot it. The priest is going to be putting in a ticket.
No one knew TLPD's last spawn time before this one. Only that Vyra had spawned yesterday at 5:30pm server.

I fail to see 5 mins between 2 time-losts in the SS's you provided.
I see the dropdown box from Silver Dragon in in the 2nd Screenshot which shows Time-Lost was moused over 3 hours previous, then targeted 3 hours previous. Silver Dragon does that though, it's the same Time-Lost that was moused over and targeted. Look at the coords, there is hardly any distance between both happening.
If you use Silver Dragon, you would know it will list things that have been Moused over and targeted in the box.
If it was real, how hard would it have been to screenshot both corpses? (Again refering to the Coords, if they were that close together that the Mouseover and Targeting happened, they would be well within the screenshot range of each other, no question. It's a big mob.).
You can see on the Mini Map in the 1st SS, the Orange Circle from the initial detection by NpcOverlay, which the centre of, is where the person was, and it was moused over at this point. Then they moved to the position they are at when they took the Screenshot and targeted, that's where the 2nd detection listing came from.
If you check the pins on wowheads maps (on Time-Losts page,
http://www.wowhead.com/npc=32491]
), you'll find that is correct. I went as far as to check that myself because I hate to see all the bull$%^& comments here, which is seriously unhelpfull for people who really want and deserve this mount. It's forum threads like that which is why there is so much dodgey info about this mob going around.
I can't help but notice the similaritys between your name here and the OPs name of that post, all I can say is, Nice Try. Try harder to troll next time.
The thread is full of crap.
***EDIT***
To prove this point, again, because I get pissed off with all the #$%^ people spread that is incorrect, I went out to prove this and have done with the Rare Spawn in Grizzly Hills, Seething Hate.
http://i40.tinypic.com/wrlwfs.png
]
You can see my Silver Dragon picked him up several times in a short space of time.
After it passes the Hour Mark, it'll only show how many hours since it has last been seen which is how the 2nd Screenshot in the link you posted comes to show them both detected 3 hours previous.
I moved around a bit aswell to prove the coords can be falsified on the addon to make it seem like it is detected in a few different places...
I dare say I have said enough to discredit your bad forum post.
I would urge others to ignore that post linked above, it's there for the sole reason to troll and attention seek.

Got mine today! 12/4/2011 around 12pm PST Spirestone.
A Mage and I split up spawning points and worked together to clear rares in Northrend around 8am and Timelost spawned at about 12pm at the Ice Fall. I got him in the valley by all the harpies on his way from the frozen falls towards frozen lake.
Several websites claim there are (2) rares in Northrend at any given time. The goal is to clear these other rares in order to increase the chance of Timelost spawning in Storm Peaks. This morning I killed (6) and that was just in the eastern lands (Fjord, Hills and Zul Drak.) The mage took the Western Lands and killed (2) more for a total of (8) rares killed in all of Northrend before Timelost spawned.
I usually camped the waterfall and Mage took the lake. After the Mage logged I moved to Borh's Breath to see more spots. At the time I was the only Alliance player in Storm Peaks which is why I moved to a multi spot rather than a spawn spot.
I used the addon NPC_scan and the NPC_scan overlay. NCP Scan picked him up just fine.
Good luck!

Do yourself a favor. If you are actually ever considering camping this mount google "TLPD resource" and read that website like the bible.
Forget everything you've read on wowhead, 1843 comments on this item and the
vast majority
are outdated, misinformed, only partially correct, or just flatout pants-on-head wrong.
A great many of them are from people who were only vaguely aware of this mounts existence and just happened upon it with or without NPCScan and think they are now an expert on the topic. Even more of them were 'camping' the mount by sitting in some random spot in storm peaks for a few hours or flying circles around the zone once a week looking and just like the previous example
got stupid lucky
.
I have nothing against people who for getting lucky, but don't come here and drool all over your keyboard acting as if you you suddenly have this secret information that no one else is aware of and that's how you got yours. Use TLPD resource, Ponderance has forgotten more information about spawn locations, times, routes, etc than you will ever learn. Hell the guy has killed more TLPDs than the people commenting here have killed
Vyragosa.

Finally, after around 3/4 months of on/off camping, a couple times of which were solid weeks I have my Time-Lost Proto Drake. I also noticed my particular drake was at lv 79 instead of 80. I have submitted a rather odd screenshot showing this but it shows it none the less.
The first TLPD I ever saw was a dead one I missed by mere SECONDS on a night where I had a very strong feeling I would find it, only to miss it because a) 280% flying actually caused me to miss it as I flew past it's spawn point before it could spawn and b) I kept flying around instead of just waiting out a spot. The fact that I had just been at the spawn point really gutted me that night.
I've seen many fellow players come and go, some quickly, some for long periods of time. I've witnessed a friend kill and loot her own Time-Lost when I was just flying through to Zul'Drak and a rl friend get his the day after he looted a Brewfest Ram.
I did the day long camps, wasting away valuable time I could be using for gearing up or rep grinding. I grouped up with various people and even had my above mentioned rl friend help me camp. He initially started to get me the drake but in the end he took his one which spawned at 3am, fair game, I was in bed. :p
In the end I got sick of sitting there all day "not playing" the game, I had my ways to help keep it interesting; movies, iplayer, manga etc but I there was a whole world of mounts to collect so I got on with it. However I still camped for a couple of hours almost every single day and I mean almost, 5/7 days a week I would put in the camp time.
I came back, after collecting a multitude of other mounts, however I was not going to waste my time camping for full days. I started doing the Argent Tournament dailies to get the mounts and pets there and this of course brings me right into vicinity of Storm Peaks. From experience Vyragosa liked to spawn at the turn of the hour, from 10 to the hour to 10 past so during/after the dailies I would go to the frozen lake and sit there for 20 mins then continue, sometimes these small camps would turn into half a day or fill the remaining hours of the night.
This brings me to today. I had finished doing my dailies, the last one being the snowbold one which is in SP but felt like uploading some photos onto my photobucket account and doing some general browsing. I got to the frozen lake ledge and sat there with the background sound up. It was 20 to 5pm.
As I was doing my rounds on photobucket the alarm goes off, making me jump a foot off my seat and my heart starts racing as I know what it is, I had Skoll, Dirkee and Vyra cached so it could ONLY be Time-lost!
The thing sets off really quickly, I alt-tabbed out of my browser at lightning speed and the drake was already mostly off the cliff, I flew over...and a bit too close as it struck me and dismounted me... causing me to fall to my death. I spirit rezzed immediately, not wanting to waste time corpse running and went after it full speed and got my head together. Dismounted, snowfall lager, tag. It worked and I managed to land next to two of those winged ghost women who started attacking me -.- Being lv 85 with decent gear this did not matter. I got the thing killed and looted my prize, a prize I had been waiting for, for a very long time.
It was 17:10 when I downed it meaning it spawned between 05 past and 10 past the hour. Just like the majority of Vyragosas seen by myself, many rare spawns i've tamed/seen have spawned around this time frame. Not all of them mind you but most. Keep it in mind if you have little time to camp. might help.
My post proves one thing. If you are willing to put in the time whether it be for many hours or short periods you can get this mount, even if you get sick of waiting in those icy mountains or only have enough time to camp a few hours a day or even 25 minutes because 25 minutes give or take a few is how long I waited today. You most certainly do not need to make yourself ill over sleep loss for this mount. It might take longer to get but you'll feel better over all.

GM confirmed this morning that TLPD and Vyragosa do NOT share spawn times and rates.
I've been camping for 3 days, no luck so far...

While I was farming for the time-lost, I saw it 3 times. The first was on a Wednesday around 6pm in Bor's Breath, however it was just the corpse so I'm not sure the real spawn time on that day. The next time was quite a few months later on a Wednesday again around the same time north of Engine of the Makers, however someone else tagged it first. Later that week early Sunday morning at 3am, I had just bought some

when my npc scan went off. The time-lost seemed to have spawned right out of the side of Frosthold. It started to fly northwest toward Valkyrion but I tagged it right over the west end of Bor's Breath. Hope this information is helpful, happy hunting!

I searched for weeks.. maybe months. Sitting, waiting, flying around and never saw a sign of the Time Lost Proto Drake. Until yesterday 23 December.. a Christmas present from Blizzard at 23.30.
Not even looking for him, in fact I just logged in and immediatly my NPC alarm went off. weeeeee I'M SOOOOO HAPPY!
My heartbeat went like mad, i looked above me and there he was, couldnt believe it, but it's really true muhahaha.
I guess there is no real strategy, when i camped him for hours and hours there was no sign of this guy. I logg in and bam there he is. Its mostly just a matter of luck :)

I've been searching for 12 days, almost nonstop. I'm hoping that mine will come out soon, but after 12 days I've only been offline about 4-5 hours each day (thanks to other campers in my place) and I've yet to see even the corpse. I myself have only killed Vyragosa 4 times and have yet to see her/him for about 6 days. I fly around every 10-20 minutes along the paths and I'm starting to think that the 6-day re-spawn timer might be bust and that some people might just be lucky. I've wanted this drake since my first character was level 15 and made it to a major city for the first time, it was such a beautiful drake and I had to have one. This is a true hunt, and it's gonna take me to the breaking point here soon so I hope this drake shows himself! Wish me lots of luck, I need it about now.

9:55am Server Time I killed and Looted me a Time-Lost Photo-Drake, Server Wyrmrest Accord. I ended up snagging him while I was camping for skoll. He ended up flying along his flight path till he reached me at 27.8, 50.8. He spawned just 8 or so hours (give or take) after someone killed Vyragosa the night before. I was also camping for skoll when this happened.
To all those waiting to get this guy, all you can do is wait. Kill Vyragosa when she shows up and keep on waiting.
Best of luck and Happy hunting!

Killed at 8:03 pm Tuesday south bor's breath.
So I usually only look for tlpd for like 5 minutes or less a day, usually around raid time like 8-9. Usually just camp bor's breath for a few minutes til I get bored and hearth back to org.
In that time ive killed vyra 4 times, found tlpd dead, and now killed tlpd.
I barely camped for this mount, seriously no longer than 10 minutes at a time. No more than a couple days a week or less, for a year or so. My tips would be to just hang out around bor's breath around 8-9 I would say, seems to be most active.
Also just camp either south bor's breath, or north either of the 2 known spawns. Good Luck, keep coming back to the area for a few minutes when you have time. Also the ring of the kirin tor or whatever helps alot.

Hey guys, So iv been "looking" for TLPD on and off just browsing when bored for fun, but really started hunting it about a few days ago. I have been reading alot about how people just sit in 1 spot with npcscan around bor's breath. I had always looked around for maps to where he fly's around. So I started hanging around those spots, But then I read an article on how someone found it after sitting in 1 spot (bors/engine) for 30 minutes then would run around the map and check so around (00/30) then if he didnt see anything he would stay in spot for 30 more mins, then he eventually found it weeks later.
There are LOTS of warning about dont get your hopes up cause even IF you do get lucky enough to find something, 9/10 times it will be vyragosa as TLPD is the "rare" of vyragosa. So in true honesty finding TLPD is extremely hard, then u gotta take into hand others (both alliance and horde) farming it. Kinda depressing lol
I have only seen vyragosa ONCE and it was dead the whole time iv been in storm peaks. Never the less, I was sitting around bor's/engine for the past 3 days, then at 4:28AM CT, I decided to go 2 mins early and look around. 5 people were looking just on horde alone as well. I make my round around valk and ALL OF A SUDDEN npcscan goes off I look down and its TLPD, my heart is racing like OMG WHERE WHERE go straight and there he is, I grab him fast and 2 shot it, get mount. VERY MUCH worth the wait and time seeing as how this is debatable the 2nd rarest flying mount in the game now.
If I had any pointers/advice it would be this.
1-It has a 8-12 hour spawn sharetime with vyragosa and vyra will again spawn 9/10 times
2-It seems it spawns mostly around valk/bors or engine so camp around there if your going to camp
3-Do what I did, Sit around bor/engine and every 30 mins between 00/30 go look around
4-DO NOT EVER GIVE UP! It is possible if u just try and put the effort in.
Good luck to future hunters for TLPD and I hope this helps out!

Ever since Wrath I wanted this drake and even then I put many hours of gametime into floating somewhere in SP and waiting for the magic sound of NPC scanner.
Yet no luck. So maybe 55-ish days ago I suddenly got an urge to start camping it again. Read up here and wowhead about newest info and started my hunt.
43 Vyragosas, 3 Dirkees, 5ish Skolls and 17/23 Frostbitten later - I only saw TLPD once.
I know that it has spawned between that. I became friends with one of the other campers who got it on 4.3 patch day. Another time another camper accidentally got it on his alt when it was questing - 30min before me coming home from work.
On average I spend 6-8h a day in the evenings camping at 2 spots (got another acc too) - at Frozen lake and at Waterfall <occasionally making rounds to other spawnpoints>. So far - 80% spawns I would say are on Waterfall from what I noticed myself.
But then today, 57 days later this myth came to live:
Sylvanas EU 22:19 29 Dec 2011

It spawned while I was on phone with a friend, I think I had an geekgasm in her ear. =D

Just got the mount on my hunter today. I was originally camping for Skoll, found/tamed him, then, after just flying around for no reason, NPC scan yelled at me for the Proto Drake. I nearly wet myself at the sheer excitement at it, flying and very much free for me to kill. And so I did :3

Today I finally after 2 years and 3 months of farming, killed this outstanding Time-Lost Proto Drake.
I have something to say for you all that maybe could help you on your farming.
My Guild Master saw this drake dead 2nd of January 2012 23:48 when I
4
hours later on the 3rd of January 4:12 killed Vyragosa.
Then when i got my drake was the same day but at 21:21 in Bor's Breath.
What does this say? That means that it has a 4 hour respawn timer in some way.
This all happened on Frostmane - EU and the time said was the same as the server time.

Lately all I do is wait for arenas and RBGs queues so I decided to park my toon in Storm Peaks to see if I get lucky.
About 1hr after moving there I left an arena and NPCScan went off. It was the TLPD and there was a hunter happily falling with with his chute and the TLPD tagged.
The 30 seconds I spent astonished by the fact that I had found this mount so fast ended up costing me it.
Well, gonna stay there and hope I get lucky again.

Okay I have read some of these comments here and seriously wonder where people come up with this crap with no proof I have gotten 5 TLPD's and will let you know the truth.
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.

Happy Hunting and Good Luck.

After two weeks camping, about 10-13 hours a day i got it.
Got it 17:34 at EU - Ravencrest.
IF YOU WANT THIS MOUNT this is what to do :
You need a lot of patience and time, go to the bor's breath spawn point and sit there and wait for it to spawn, remember this can take weeks, months. You also need luck.
Just download Npcscan and watch telly while waiting.

I just recently got my
迷时始祖幼龙的缰绳
Here are my recommendations. Constantly check To see how many others are in storm peaks both alliance and horde. I had two accounts running so i could do this. If there is no one else in storm peaks I recommend parking at a multi-path spot. The reason for this is that if there is no one else in storm peaks there is no point in limiting yourself to one spawn point and possibly missing the drake., where i sat to get mine was The Broodmother's nest (38,65). However If there is someone else camping for the drake do not use this method, park at a spawn point and stay put untill they leave. Do not fly around and try to hit all the paths. This is all just my opinion and what worked for me. Happy hunting.
Ps: Good things come to those who wait.

Guys TLPD has 100% drop rate.. Its that easy. Why Wowhead says he got killed 663 times and mount only dropped 651 times is because of bugs. If you never heard of these bugs where u can't loot him because he fall down under the ground, then go read about them. It happened to my friend that camped him 3 months seen him dead 3 times and killed Vyragosa over 45 times that he finally find him and he fall in a mountain side. Thats why it says 98% guys... Thats why.
Good Luck to you all.

Ladies and Gentlemen I finally got my TLPD after a week of hardcore farming, 17 hour camps at Bor's Breath every day since I was on vacation this week. Was determined to have it, its funny that I get it on Sunday because last Sunday is when I got a Sea Turtle mount.
I have killed Vyragosa 7 times and missed TLPD one time, yesterday I decided not to reset cache because the false alert was heartbreaking every time. So I decided to have NPCscan set to only make an alert(that awesome horn sound) to TLPD spawning, it worked!
I was making coffee when I heard the sound go off and I was like "OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG THAT'S TLPD!" Sure enough it was.
When I got it I screamed and shouted jumped up and down and forced my room mate out of his bed and made him go look at my new mount.
A lot of friends doubted that I would get this mount and friends at work, now I get to go there tomorrow and say "IN YOU'RE FACE!"
I feel very lucky and honored to have it after reading many stories of people farming for over a year to get this mount and some finally getting it and some not, so to all you TLPD campers. DON'T GIVE UP!
Camp at a spawn spot and stay there, do other activities when you're camping.
While I was camping I used my time to work out, play Need for Speed: The Run. Watched movies, hung out with friends and played with my cat. I also messed around with a remote control car I have which the cat loves to chase...
Thank you for all the information and reading on Wowhead and especially TLPDresource.com.
Good luck guys and gals =)

This is sadly enough something you guys wont enjoy!
Time-lost proto drake has spawned 3 times in 2 days on my server (burning steppes)
the first spawn was around 6:12 AM
the second spawn was around 12:34 PM
the third spawn was at 6:07 AM (this was the spawn i got it from, hi haters!)
both of the first two spawns were captured by a friend of mine who farmed the mount on both his characters
the fact that the mount dropped three times in two days just proofs how random the time is between him and vyragosa
this was my message sorry people you can start hating now :P
ps
the best part was it was the first time i farmed time-lost proto drake

I dont know if it was because it was changed recently but i talked to a GM and he said that its not that 2 rares cant be in the same zone, its just very uncommon for it to happen. This was reinforced when i found 2 rare spawns in the bottom right corner of Shadowmoon Valley, so it most likely applies to Northrend too

Also be wary of people posting the item in general chat, the link can be found in AtlasLoot and its a good way to discourage people and eliminate the competition

Today i was on my alt doing Lunar coin quests for pet, just finished Elder at Frosthold and asked myself.. should I go left to Bouldercrag's refuge or right to K3 for the next Elder. I decided to turn right to K3 and after 5 sec:

I finally got it! After about 19 months! I've been camping for 2-3 weeks at a time since i first discovered it as a young Death Knigh. But yesterday i decided to start camping again and i wouldnt give up this time, checked NPC Scan and everything and settled down, itchy fingers came fast, i wanted to play but no, i was going to sit there, didnt even want to go to the bathroom and when i needed to smoke i opened my window so i could stand just outside and watch my screen!
Anyways, i lowered all the sound but master cause of the wingflapping, people have said you could do that.. So i was watcing a movie and then i tabbed into wow to see if a friend was online yet, but wait, WHAT? _NPCScan: Found "Time-Lost Proto Drake"!
I couldnt believe it, 10:35:55 server time my npcscan found him, but i didnt hear any alert, luckily i tabbed in only 4 seconds after he had spawned! And he was close, i was camping at Engine Of The Makers just where the 3 paths cross eachother, and he spawned up on the mountainside, at 49,52! Could just land safely and DG him when he was close! Such a beautiful creature!
This time i camped for about 19 hours straight!
And i had 3 other campers in Storm Peaks until about 8 pm! Lucky me!
I wish all the seekers out there all the luck!

So this is my recollection of the events to farming my time lost.
I saw vyragosa at about 4:00 PM server time. I commited myself to staying in storm peaks until I saw Time-lost dead or alive. So I sat through the night there with another camper who had three accounts to his name as he was camping 3 spawn points all the ones except ulduar. I really didn't expect to get it if it did pop , well as night went on I Didn't see a sight of vyragosa or time-lost. I went to sleep for about 5 hours or so, came back to do the same thing all over today. I armoried the shaman to see if he had gotten and no vyragosa kill or time-lost , so neither have spawned during the night at all.That's an 18 hour period , the shaman was still there with his three toons when I logged back on , eventually he had to go to work/sleep whatever the case may be. Today at around 3:23 PM time lost spawned at the lake as soon as I got out of arena. Tagged him and bagged him =)
Best part of it is I got on my twink rogue.

After 31 days of flying around like crazy and camping respawn points, i finally found and killed the drake, i think he had just spawned at the Ulduar spawn point, cause i was flying around storm peaks with 2 other friends, then npc scan went crazy, I got his target. He was flying very very very high near the spawn point "45,6" "31,4". I tried to jump off my mount and tag him, then died, ran to corpse rezzed, tagged him, then he reseted agro. At the third attempt got him down at the "Temple of Wisdom". Some screens of the corpse, the time on the screens are -3 GMT "Brasilia" horário de verão. He was flying counter clockwise.

I logged on after school and sat there camping. No one had mentioned Vyra or Time lost. So, I did an instance with my arena partner. LUCKY FOR ME he decided to go to sleep and I did a /who of Storm peaks to see there were no horde there. I thought 'Well one of them must have popped so they left' wrong.
I got there and went to my spot up at Bor's Breath. Sitting there for a few minutes and BAM. Time lost. He was flying from that village at the top of the waterfall to the alliance base on the other side. I popped slowfall lager and was too far away. Panicking that someone would find him and get him i bubbled and flew over, pulled him and killed him. Lucky I did, an alliance hunter saw me and killed me less than 5 seconds after i killed him.
Here is a screenshot with my coordinates on the top left :) I highly recommend the spot.

Also. I happened to open a GM ticket HOURS beforehand to speak to a GM about all of the wonderful things i've seen about the rarespawns being able to force others to spawn quicker. Here is the conversation. This guy was a genuine nice guy and was also hunting the TLPD. When I told him I had just got it we had a lengthy conversation about it and I was able to ask him some questions.

I'll also post links to the GM conversation and location when new users are allowed. I only made this account to share <3

At
03:33
today, server time, I killed Vyragosa at the frozen lake. at
09:20
, I flew back to Storm Peaks to try and locate the "Time-Lost Proto Drake" once again. Exactly at
09:35
Time-Lost Proto Drake spawned in the frozen lake, right where Vyragosa spawned six hours earlier.
This can confirm the Vyragosa / Time Lost Proto Drake 6 hour spawntimer
.
Feel I was very lucky because I only farmed this mount for a total of 3-4 hours before I got it.
Server: Genjuros AKA Deadjuros. 6 lvl 80-85 characters was online at 9:30. And I mean 6 online on the ENTIRE server (Alliance side). In Storm Peaks, I was all alone.
So if you want to farm RARE Mounts , migrate to Genjuros EU, LOL

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 Purtridus 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 approvimately 4:43 PM ET
Good luck everyone!

I was farming argent tournament tokens and they were going to reset in about 20 minutes, so I decided to go do Storm Peaks and try for the white polar bear mount, Accidentaly ran into him. Quickly tagged him and looted the mount and Time Forward Talisman of the Champion. I am so excited! He is mount No. 120, now to do the dailies again and get mount No. 121!

The useful bits of my post bind together:
- I camped the Waterfall Spawn point and have seen both TLPD and Vyragosa spawn from it.
- It spawned around 3:55am server time.
- Use Snowfall Lager, you're sure to fall down and you'll need it.
- DON'T PANIC WHEN YOU SEE IT. But you will anyway.
- Never give up, your Drake will come to you when you least expect it. ;)
Screenshot : http:// tinypic. com/view.php?pic=2ce6jur&s=5 (remove the spaces)
Warning: This post is overexcited.
OHMYGOD. OHMYGOD. OHMYGOD.
I just got my Time-Lost Proto Drake. I think I've been hunting for it 3 weeks now, lucky bastard that I am.
I was camping the Waterfall spawn point , like usual. When I camped for it I was at that spawn point and sometimes flew the 2 lowest flight paths to see if he was there. And if I was really bored I'd just do all the flight paths. But the most time I spent sitting on Waterfall spawn point and just watching some shows or thinking about the sense of life (this guy makes you doubt about it).
I did it mostly during the night, because there arent that much players. In my camping time, I saw Vyragosa laying dead in Bor's breath. Once I saw TLPD laying dead in Bor's breath Once Vyragosa spawned from the Waterfall spawn point, but a 85 just one-shotted it.
Then today, finally .. I thought I'd go to bed at 4am and in the mean time camp at Waterfall and watch some youtube vids. I landed on the spot and got my phone, plugged the earphones out the computer and plugged them in my phone. Then some seconds later my npcscan went off. I can best describe what happened then by saying what I thought:
OHMYGOD
TIME LOST PROTO DRAKE
THIS ISNT *!@#ING HAPPENING
THIS ISNT *!@#ING HAPPENING
OMG
TRY TO GET AGGRO
WHY ISNT MY MOUNT FASTER
*FLY FLY*
COME ON .... GET TO IT ..
YES, I HAVE AGGRO
TRY TO FIND A SPOT TO SHOT IT FROM
OKAY, LAND HERE
STILL HAVE AGGRO
HUNTERS MARK
SHOOT IT
YES
GET OUT PET
SCATTER SHOT
OMG IM FALLING
OMFG IM FALLING
OMG SAVED
YES I AM DOWN
SHOOT IT
KILL COMMAND
SERPENT STING
OHMYGOD THIS ISNT %^&*ING HAPPENING
YES ITS DEAD
LOOT IT LOOT IT
INVENTORY IS FULL
#$%^
*THROW AWAY SOMETHING*
*LOOT THE REINS*
OMG
.. *lean back*
Mission completed. Now I only will have to get my Artisan Riding -_-
But I am so happy. I am still shaking even though its like an hour ago ..
Afterwards I excitedly announced it in guild chat, and asked the 85 druid in Storm Peaks if he was hunting too, and told him he could get off for a while, gave him some tips about the spawn spot and apologized 3000 times. I felt sorry for the fella, we all know what its like to find it dead. Anyway, good luck on your hunt y'all, someday your Time-Lost Proto Drake will find you, don't give up! :D

Finally got the TLPD!
After camping it for what felt like forever (2 months) it spawned on me when i was least expecting it.
It was around 18:50 on the 7th February, i'd just got in from work and was moaning about my shoulders. I managed to get a back rub from the wife and dropped my guard completly. I was miles away when i hear the scan go off, i thought to myself that it sounded familiar, like ive heard it before?
Have a look at my laptop and there is a big yellow dragon above my head.
"Thats the TLPD! Thats the TLPD"
I immediatley start to click on it but in a panic im hitting the wrong button, i realise and click on it correctly. To my horror i hear "Its too far away". SAY WHAT!
I hit the flying mount, it takes what feels like an ice age to load up!
At this point im shouting " Hurry up hurry up"
I get on and fly after it, target, snowfall lager, kill it. Then float past its body and still floating and still floating. "Land for gods sake"!
Finally land and see that its stuck in a rock.
Thankfully i have auto loot on, so i hover, click and drop.
Its mine all mine :)
Ive never seen a full room of people shouting and jumping around like mad as much as i did for this drake.
Out of observation, ive noticed it seems that both drakes were spawning later at night or very early morning until it spawned at tea (dinner) time.
This was on the Mazrigos server
Hope it helps

After camping for four days and nights straight I got bored and decided to do the quest where you throw nets/frost slicks down on Bronzebeard's men chasing you, my npc scan went off though I figured it was just another Vyragosa spawn, but not this time, TLPD killed at exactly 46,60 just as others have confirmed. Was offered 50k the first evening I sat out to find this "perdy thing" but I told myself "no way", the time I knew I was about to endure camping and knowing it could take weeks just isn't worth the gold to me. I was cussed, told I was a lol "lunchbox" for not accepting his offer of the 50k, but I just came back from WoW, was here from the start of vanilla and 4 months after Wrath came out so it wasn't like this was my first adventure looking for this bad boy, so I guess the guy doesn't remember me or know my determination when I set my mind on something. Anyways this was well worth my time, had a blast hunting for him, but was really surprised at where he spawned, I camped the ledge up on the frozen lake as I figured it was my best chance for a spawn, glad I was wrong. Just wish I still had my blue proto drake from UP to match. Happy Hunting all, and don't let other's deter you, every time I hit /who and seeing at least 3-5 people camping I kept thinking "what are the chances I'll actually get to see it?", -Bok
p.s.: forgot to mention it was flying fairly high up(60-80 feet) with the blue dragonkin.

Dropped today on Akama @ 9:45 Server Time Directly North of Grom'Arsh Crash Site after my guildie named Krazziiee joked around saying it had spawned.
Played out as follows-
Krazziiee: OMG Time Lost is up!
Odilan: Really!
Krazziiee: Yeah bro!
Odilan flys out to Storm Peaks.
Krazziiee: Bro I was just kidding
Krazziiee goes into Well of Eternity.
Odilan goes afk in Storm Peaks while going to the corner store to buy an ice tea.
I come back from the store and see my NPC Scan lit up for Time Lost!
Odilan: OMG Time Lost!
Krazziiee: Shut up bro.
Odilan loots the mount and mass summons 5 people in his guild to him.
Krazziiee gets mad!
Sorry Krazziiee :/

Hey all. Got this yesterday evening at around 22.30 cet on the Deathwing Realm (eu). My hands are practically still shaking :)
I was sitting at the frozen lake camp-spot and was afk with the sound muted while I was on skype on another computer. Suddenly out of the corner of my eye I noticed some commotion on my wow-screen. Noticed the red flashes from npc-scan go off and saw something big and brownish moving right on top of me. My heart skipped a beat and as I struggled to grab my mouse and keyboard I was sure someone would tag it as had happened with a few Vyragosa spawns during my time there. But luckily no one else was there and 5-8 seconds later the beauty was dead. A moment of panic ensued where I thought I couldn't loot it as it had landed awkwardly and I kept sliding down oor when I dismounted to loot, but finally got it :)
Now in terms of facts about my camping here goes: I have spent around about 8 hours a day, 2 days a week for about 4 weeks. I almost exclusively have been camping at frozen lake spot. During that time I've never seen a single Vyragosa (or TLPD obviously) spawn at
that
spot but it was where my TLPD would eventually spawn. In the mean time my npc scanner has picked up 8 or 9 Vyragosa spawns - most times flying slowly past down through the canyon. One time npc scan alerted me to Vyragosa and I found her way to the south down by the waterfall. Further more I've seen two Dirkee spawns while flying from my worm hole spawn point. Finally, my npc scan must have gone off a dozen times for Putridus the Ancient in Ice Crown. Kill him and then hs back to Storm Peaks as there can only be a limited number of wotlk rares at any given time.
I've used tlpdresource.com which has been a great help. I recommend to anyone planning to camp TLPD to have a look there.
Good luck guys. Don't give up! Somewhere out there is a TLPD with your name on it :)

well um im not too happy. some people said on here that vyrgosa was another name for the time lost protodrake, well sorry to burst your bubbles BUT ITS NOT. i almost had a heart attack from finding her and killing her but was discusted when i didnt get a mount. then realized theres nothing once so ever anything that she had looked like a proto dragon of any sort. i have been looking for the time lost proto drake for 14 hours straight and nothing. so in the end. vyrgosa IS NOT another name for the time lost proto dragon! i have also heard that she/ it spawns every 6-12 hours, if its true me and this dragon have been flying circles around eachother.
and P.S. i have realised why its called the TIME LOST proto drake.

Downed at 7:27 realm time, Deathwing US.
Camp site was the Frozen Lake at Bors Breath.
The drake came flying around from the north and was killed between Valkyrion and the Frozen Lake.
Definitely recommend taping your right mouse button down and placing your mouse on crumpled aluminum-foil to make it jump around and keep you from logging out.
Spent the night on the floor for this bad boy. /faint

I started camping for the TLPD on the 12th Feb 2012 on the Eu Eonar realm.
Today is now the 25th Feb 2012 and my birthday and at 00:51:58 at the very start to my day, I got my very own TLPD mount! Best birthday present ever! :D
So here's a little bit of information about my experience, and hope that it'll help someone else with their hunt!
I had started camping at the Engine of the Makers (42.3, 59.4) near the giant hole in the ground, near all the blue drakes. After a few nights (roughly a week) of no sign of either TLPD or Vyragosa, I moved to a proper spawn spot, where I spent the remainder of my camping time.
I killed my first Vyra on the 12th Feb (which is when I officially started counting how long it took me to find TLPD).
I was using NPC scan and NPC scan: Overlay addons.
The times that I camped varied. Sometimes it was only for a couple of hours in the evening after work, others it was from when I got up to when I went to bed. Unfortunately I didn't keep a detailed record of how long each day I had actually camped for.
My official camping spot was at (31.6, 69.6), on the mountain opposite Valkyrion, near the trees by the blue ice crystal things.
Sitting there I managed to kill Vyra 7 times! 3 of those times she spawned right next to me.
My NPC scan found TLPD coming from the direction of Valkyrion, towards the mountain I was camped at, flying in the direction of Bor's Breath.
He was flying fairly low when I found him, and didn't have to worry about falling. I simply flew through him to get agro, pulled him to the ground and tagged him. Was a risk I guess, but the area was fairly quiet at the time.
Anyways, I hope this helps even just a little bit! And good luck hunting! :)

If I could rename this mount it would have to have the word "Luck" in it. Blind, Dump, Pure, etc.
Was just flying around trying to figure out if I had enough time to do some of the Hodir dailies when npcscan and silver dragon went off. Had been flying from K3 toward that area when it did. Finally found it in the area where the blue proto drakes are killing the rhinos. The Foote Steppes I believe it's called.
Undermine US server about 20 mins before system shutdown for maint. this morning.
Update: Flying more or less along the path for Vyra/TLPD from npc scan overlay. Went off in the area of Garm. I flew north along the flight path through Snowblind Hills and Snowblind Terrace to The Foot Steppes. TLPD was behind me flying north. Downed them at about 45.60. Just about at the spot where that flight path turns south.
Good luck to all farming and thanks to all who have posted info.

I've been hunting this Proto for about a week (Level 85 ret Paladin), I'd estimate 36 hours of camping/patting looking for him.
So far, I've seen Vyragosa killed once, killed her once myself, and barely missed the epic Time-Lost once, he was downed about 200 yard away from me. He had spawned in Bor's Breath and had flown right out of the mountain side right through the priest camping him.
Just wanted to leave some tips for any Paladins hunting him, my original plan was to Judgement, then fall to the ground with bubble. this can work, but if either Vyr or the Time-Lost are flying too high, you will fall out of aggro range and lose your tag.
When my NPCScan picked up Vyr, I had the problem stated earlier. So, I flew back up, right through her, and slowly dragged her down, into Sifrelder Village. If this had happened to be the Time-Lost, and there was a mage or priest after him as well, they may have been able to tag him while I was dragging him down.
Just wanted to provide a problem that I had, and if anyone was planning on trying this, that they would consider back up plans or other options. The Time-Lost reports say he doesn't fly as high as Vyr, but at the same time you never want to count on that. He is a very desirable NPC, and you want to tag him as soon as you see him.

Looking for the time Lost on my hunter, and this morning at 08:41 my Npcscan gave off a warning that it had found Vyragosa at Brunnhildar village, so I flew towards the foot steppes and waited for her to get closer so I could shoot her. And was I suprised when my scan then alerted it had also found Skoll!
So if anyone have been wondering (I for sure have been), if there can be more than two rares up at the same time in storm peaks, then yeah, apparently it is possible. With exception for both Vyra and TLPD, since they seem to share spawn timer.
Submitted a screenshot proving my claim if anyone for some reason would doubt, but it can take up to 72hours before it is acceptet to the site, so gonna link to my photobucket album till then:

So i've been camping this drake on and off for a while. I was camping alot in november 2011, 16 hours non-stop at the most. No luck, only Vyragosa. I thnik i've camped it 50+ hours overall.
Anyway, went to Stom Peaks yesterday around 6pm server time. My friend was there camping for me at Ulduar spawn, no luck. I went to Frozen Lake spawn, and just 10 min of camping my NPC scan goes off and it's TLPD. I couldnt belive my eyes. So now it's mine! Im so happy right now, dno what to do. Even it's over 24 hours since i got it. I guess it spawned at Brunnhildar or Waterfall spawn, since it came from there.

JUST GOT MINE! i Seriously still do not beleive it...I must be dreaming or somethin....caught him at 11H55 Server time, Server Gargonnash, he spawned right in my face at the East point where the Hildar village is.
We don't know when the last one was killed.
I followed he's instructions:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rc2IaYS2ugA
He has great info and the EXACT spawn points of where he spawns.
I had been camping him for bout 48 hours straight (slept maybe 5 or 6 hours in all that) And i was giving up hope.
The last Vyragosa that I know of had been killed by me 20 hours ago.
TLPD was flying counter-clockwise
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Now for the ones intereseted, thats the story of his capture!
I had developped a theory, that back in the days, the TLPD seemed to have a shorter spawn timer than now. And I asked myself, what changed since that time? The poeple that are present in Northrend! So rares aren't getting killed as often as in the past...so with my boyfriends account, i camped him at the point in the video, and with my account, i moved all around northrend killing rares. I killed 15 of them before i got tired. So i camped myself at the Hildar Village. I was soo tired of not getting any sleep that I gave up on him and went to bed. I woke up in the night with a headache so I went to take some advils and my boyfriend was still up so gave him a little kiss and I saw my computers still on, so I logged on to know when he got killed. I was still at the same camping places. So while it was logging on, I was responding to messages on facebook, I heard the music of Storm Peaks, so i was logged on, but i didn't go right away. And then NPC scan went off, I automaticaly alt tabbed and lost my breath, It was him! I was screaming at my boyfriend, I couldn't believe it. He must be dead dammit it can't be! NO HE'S ALIVE RIGHT THERE, IN FRONT OF MY FACE, HE SPAWNED RIGHT THERRREEEE! so I went at the cliff of the blue drakes to be able to tag him, killed him and got him. It still seems so much like a dream...I don't even remember seeing him alive for more than half a second lol. I have been dreaming of him when i got some sleep lol. Yeah still hyper ventilating XD

Hey Guys...
My name is Dashslash and I am from the realm Nagrand.
I currently have
Time-Lost on both by Death Knight and my Hunter
and am currently camping him on my Warrior.
First of all, I know A LOT about this guy. I saw about
2 Time-Lost Proto Drakes, 50 Vyragosa's
and several Skolls, Dirkees and Putridis' while camping him on my DK.
One day, I was camping half way up the cliff next to Frosthold and Bor's Breath at
7:15am Server Time
and BOOM.
NPCscan
goes off. Time-Lost is standing right in front of me. I am the only one there. It had taken me around 600 Hours of camping of the 1600 I have played on that toon alone.
Several Months later my Hunter hit 85 and I decided I NEEDED a better mount than a Wind Rider (FOR THE HORDE) so I went to camp him. Just three hours later at
1:20am
. BOOM. NPCscan has found Time-Lost. However, this time I was not alone. Two Alliance were camping him too. I was the lucky one who landed the first blow on him and killed him.
During the months upon months I camped TLPD on my DK, I noticed
a pattern around Vyragosa and Time-Lost. 80% of the times I saw them was between 10 past and 25 past the hour.
(examples: 1:15, 4:20, 9:10, 12:25) and because of this, I camped mainly around these times whenever I was online. HOWEVER.
Over recent weeks I have noticed a change in the pattern. They still spawn between the 10 and 25 past the hour period BUT they have also started spawning quite a lot between 15 and 5 TOO the hour.
The other thing you should know when camping this guy - He flys high above the ground so you need a creative way to get him to the ground and land the first blow. There are slow-fall potions from the vendors in storm-peaks but there is one other thing.
Time-Lost and Vyragosa CAN dismount you and given their heights, it is usually a one shot to anyone but a mage with slow fall or a kitty or rogue.
I hope this information has helped and GOOD LUCK.

He had reported to have spotted Vyragosa around 2:00 the day before.
Since Cataclysm has hit, it seems TLPD's spawn rate has increased, but no confirmation as of yet.

I recommend that anyone trying to get this has NPCScan AS WELL AS SilverDragon. NPCScan has a better alerting system but SilverDragon can store information about how many times you've killed Vyragosa and when the last time you did even after you clear your cache. Very useful if you want to take a break from camping after you kill Vyra.

After camping and killing TLPD 3 times in 6 weeks I thought I would share my experience. All the information is based on my personal experience.
Vyragosa and TLPD share the same spawn timer , locations and patrol paths. As for the exact spawn point I cant be exact as NPCScan only alerts you when they fly into range and then they load on your screen.
All my TLPD sitings were at the frozen river in between Valkyrion and Frosthold flying in different direction's every time.
Out of all the kills of Vyragosa while camping only once did I ever see it flying the Ulduar patrol.
Most common were around The Temple of Storms, alot of patrols circle around that area in one way or another.
NPCScan has gone off and alerted me that Dirkee was alive when I was tailing TLPD, so they do not share a spawn timer.
Kill Times.
Mid February ( not sure of exact date ) 23.05, Flying south over Valkyrion towards Frosthold
14 March 2012, 19.10, Flying North over Valkyrion from the southern side of Frosthold
15 March 2012, 09.50, Flying West towards Valkyrion on the southern side of The Temple of Storms.
The majority of my kills of Vyragosa were not spent camping for hours in 1 spot. After reading various posts about spawn times, I would look at the time when killed him or found his corpse and then head back to wait after about 5.30 - 6.00 hours. This seemed to be work for me. If there was no spawn I wouldn't sit there all day waiting, I would go away and come back in around 3 hours.
So my camping routine was 5.30 - 6.00 hours for the minimum spawn time and then go back every 3 hours or so, this seemed to work for me.
6-9-12-15-18 etc ... obviously if one is killed when your off-line it will reset the times you should go looking. Finding out when they were last killed may involve waiting around a while.
Hunters are extremely useful for camping , I placed myself on the small hill east of Broodmother's Nest and waited there. With Eagle Eye you can cover pretty much all of the patrol routes, except the Ulduar one.
If you happen to be in the area on a character that already has the mount and want it on an alt, the Tabard from The Argent Crusade that teleports you to the Tournament Grounds is very useful.
Hope my info is of some use to some of you and good luck getting yours :)

Word of warning dont let this happen to you
Well out of boredom i decided to see if the TLPD spawned and to my absolute amazement my scanner went off
Great i thought so i fly up to him and aggroed him all was looking well till
THE ^&*!ING K3 GUARDS CAME SCREAMING OUT AND ONE SHOTTED IT
i didnt get the credit for the kill and lost the damn drake to those stupid stupid guards so if you see it wait till its past K3 then bring it down or those guards will kill it and you wont get credit for it

I've seen frequent posts about sighting at Bor's Fall, so I parked there on a ledge. Waited about an hour and got the spawn. My NPCScan picked it up and I took it out! I've only been looking for it since yesterday, so I consider my self very lucky judging by these other posts!
Good luck and good hunting!

Just got him! I don't think Putrid also shares timers with Vyragosa/TLPD, but I remember reading somewhere that only a certain amount of rares can be up in Northrend so I would kill putrid if NPCScan went off, my times were like this
Vyragosa: 3/27 6:22pm
Putrid: 3/28 12:06am
Vyragosa: 3/28 6:01am
Putrid: 3/28 2:56pm
Putrid: 3/28 8:10pm
Vyragosa: 3/28 10:47pm
Time-Lost Proto Drake: 3/29 7:15am

Just got mine today! Flying back from Halls of Stone towards K2 and saw an odd looking drake. Then it donned on me it might just be that mythical steed. Clicked on it, and confirmed it had been the bounty I searched for on other toons for hours and hours. I flew into it, hoping nobody else was in the area, led it down, and killed it amongst other enemies I was lucky enough not to attract. Sure, it was caught on my warlock, a toon I really don't use, but HE. IS. MIIIIIINE!

If i had been just a MINUTE sooner. I would have this mount. Ugh. Was camping where the blue drakes fly over head, and decided to go to Bor's Breath location. NPC scan goes wild! TLPD FOUND! About 1:20pm.
So after experiencing a mini heart attack.. I find out it is already dead, and a Horde lock is standing over it's corpse and looting it.
At least i know it exists now. And now my bounty has been set to 3k for anyone that helps me find it!
Happy hunting

Been looking for this beauty for a few weeks now.
Does anyone know if there is a spawning point he is most likely to appear at or is it really just random?

I killed the TLPD yesterday around 11:50 Server time, on US-Earthen Ring. I was camping at the falls in Bor's Breath, where it splits north to Valkyrion and south to Frosthold. Someone (who was a very kind individual), said that his NPC scan went off, right as it must have spawned. I was at one of the more popular spots, and neither my NPC scan, or my Silver Dragon, picked it up. The drake was flying counter-clockwise around Frosthold (The orange path in BloodReaver69's post). I can only assume that it spawned somewhere on the Frosthold path. It didn't spawn at the falls, and I had killed it about a minute and a half after it spawned.
TL:DR
1. Didn't spawn at the lake between Valkyrion and Frosthold.
2. It was moving counter-clockwise along the Frosthold path (Orange as noted on the first page).
3. It was killed a minute or two after it had reportedly spawned. I killed it at the giant frozen falls.
4. It spawned out of view from the popular camping spot between Valkyrion and Frosthold, however it had to of spawned along the Frosthold path (possibly near the word "Frosthold" on the in game map), because it was killed very shortly after spawning, at the large frozen falls semi-close to K3 (servers are down and I cant give coordinates).
5. It didn't spawn at above the the frozen waterfall at the spot i've refered to. Neither of my trackers went off when it spawned. However, when I caught it at the large fall near K3, my trackers went off, ruling out a possible spawn near the spot I was camping at (I believe it's refered to as Bor's Breath).
Kill shot:

I hate it that all the people who never camped for it and just happened upon or were curious and omg it was there, rush here to post about it. I have camped on and off for over a year! And have never seen it since I began looking. Only time I saw it was just before that, on my first toon who was not only flying around storm peaks exploring at a level too low, but had never heard of this mount yet. I saw what looked like an ugly brownish flying dragon appear to come out of a mountain. I'm texting someone asking what is this? She is like where ARE you what color is it etc... telling me KEEL EET! I was too low.
But now that I know what it is and how rare it is, I can't find it to save my soul! please have compassion for those of us not as "lucky" as you in this, and who work hard and long.

After a month of camping I finally got my treasure at around midnight server time. Definitely worth the effort!
Personally I don't believe that Putridus the Ancient is in any way linked to Vyragosa or TLPD's spawns, at least it is no more linked to it than any other Northrend rare. I had Vyra spawn once 10 minutes after Putridus as well as hours or days afterwards.

Got the Time-Lost Proto-Drake this morning, April 11, 2012 at 5:55 a.m. server! Scared me to death when it spawned, and I nearly died trying to bring it down...I think it's called "panic." lol Anyway, it spawned at 40.6, 63.3 in The Storm Peaks. Wow, amazing experience...can't believe it actually happened!

Gah this mount is driving me crazy. However killing other rares around Northrend spawns more rares so I tried this a few times whilst camping on another account and several other rares spawned right after another was dead including TLPD and Vyragosa. Might be worth trying if you have a few friends willing to help or other accounts.

After camping on and off for the past year and a half I decided to get serious 5 weeks ago. Myself and another guildie camped 3 of the 4 spots for 12-18 hour days. In all that time, a mere 2 TLPD's spawned, one of which I lost to a stacker at 3:15am server time and the 2nd of which spawned right on top of my guild member so she got her drake. I was on the verge of giving up again for a time, but I've put so much time in that I couldn't accept it being lost forever. So I continued to camp. This morning after my 35th Vyragosa kill I just looked at it like it'll be a long wait again.
At least no one seemed to be camping the drake on my server too often so I had storm peaks all to myself. I took up the 4 camp spot intersection and went about doing work and surfing the web. And finally at 2:30pm server time, out of the Brunnhildar spawn point, flying right across the engine of the makers, came the evil beast herself, the Time-Lost Proto Drake. I quickly flew to her, aggro'd her and she came right with me to the ground. A mere two blows later and the beast was slain. Finally, 35 Vyragosa kills later, I can say I'm the owner of this monster.
Was it worth it... that's up to others to decide. I'm just grateful to finally have the mount I've always wanted.

04/19/12: Got this guy at about 10 p.m. E.T. on Draenor server...had camped off and on years ago before I quit/rejoined this year... finally checked the net for serious info. on him. I followed flight paths listed here, started seeing Vygarosa, and so learned the different paths. I camped a bit more...still no proto-drake. Last night, logged in, grabbed my Oracle egg in Sholazar, and decided to do one fly-by...and there he was. I was in Storm Peaks for about a minute. He was all by himself, flying sort of between Engine of the Maker, Gimorak's Den, and Brunnhildar, not very high. Kited him down next to the frigid tomb, and now mine. FYI he was flying counter-clockwise. Thanks to all who posted both the happy stories and the long camping stories. Both were helpful. I count myself extremely lucky. Keep trying...He does exist, and you can catch him!

I logged in this morning after camping the TLPD all night and there was no sign of him, I figured it wouldent hurt to toon hop real quick, after about 5 minutes i changed back to my character sitting in Storm Peaks, Right when my loading screen is done my NPCscanner goes off for the TLPD as i can see it flying, i rush over to him hopeing no one would steal the kill and taged him and lowered him to down to a cliff where I killed the beast. I found my Time Lost Proto Drake flying into Bor's Breath and killed him right on his Bor's Breath spawn point.

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!

Just got my Time-Lost Proto. Camped at 29.9, 65.8 since April 13th, the day I finally got Aeonaxx. My screenshot is near the end of the screenshots. It's a good shot of me on my new time-lost, over the corpse of the Time-Lost I just downed.
Most useful resource was a website on Hubpages by lothar97. This person gives VERY detailed descriptions of spawn points and camping sites. i killed Vyragosa at 6:30am. For once I trusted the comments about the 6 hour spawn clock. I went out to see clients and came home at 1:00pm. Flew in, camped at 29.9, 65.8 and at 1:57pm my NPCScan went off. He was coming down from west side of Temple of Storms. Must have spawned up there. I should mention that he was outside of the range of the little yellow ring npcscan shows on your mini-map. This is unlike other NPCs in Northrend (except for Putridus the Ancient) where the scanner only goes off when they are in the ring.
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 practicing 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.
Just noticed this was downvoted. For the life of me I can't understand why. I tried to provide information that would be useful. I have added a little more info. I appreciate comments more.

I got this beauty after only 1 1/2 days of really looking (please don't downgrade! i'm not trolling!)
Times are Server Time/Eastern Time
04/26/12- US - Earthern Ring - 545pm Vyra spawned, I killed for the achievement in progress.
04/27/12- US - ER - 615am Vyra was killed by a guildie
04/27/12- US - ER - 820pm TLPD spawned in front of me, I got aggro and brought near ledge, tagged, hit levitate and killed. I love this mount. She matches my healing set :D :D *happy happy dance*
Good luck and happy hunting to all that wish to add this to their collection! I got lucky, but eventually this
WILL
pop up for you! Now...the hunt continues for Posideous.....haven't seen him on our server yet...but I don't camp religiously for him..

Hi all. I'm going to just paste in here, what I posted on a similar Wowhead thread a few days ago, Sunday April 29th, 2012:
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.

Killed today (5/6/12) at 5:30 am on Tanaris. I was camping and checking every 90 seconds (playing 90 second Tetris games in between checks) so I know that this is when the drake spawned. He spawned in the valley with the frozen waterfall on the south side of his territory and I killed him at Storm Peaks 29,66.
My method to get him:
I've been flying up to this area from Dal several times a day nearly every single day for a number of months, but just checking in periodically was not efficient. I got hits on npcscan and found his dead body twice, Vyragosa's body twice more, but if you're on a reasonably busy realm, unless you're extremely lucky and arrive just after he spawns, you won't get him before someone else kills him.
Three weeks ago I began camping in this area for several hours at a time, 3-4 times a week and I feel this is the only real way to get this, absent dumb luck. I did not abandon everything else in WoW to do this, I just left the game open while I was doing other things on the computer or in my apartment and listened for npcscan. Over the last few weeks, I got one npcscan hit on Vyragosa and one hit on the TLPD but located him just as someone else killed him in front of my eyes. Heartbreaking. Today when I got the hit I was the first one to him. I had some trouble finding a spot within range of my spells so I flew directly through his body, which aggroed him. Others have said this technique did not work for them, so mileage may vary. In my case, I landed and he followed. Two shotted on lvl 85 mage.
Important notes if you plan on camping like I did:
--Get npcscan. Others will have it and if you don't, you're at a disadvantage.
--Every time you find the TLPD or Vyragosa, clear your npcscan cache - instructions are easily findable online. Otherwise it won't find them again. (They really need to include an option to over-ride this default.)
--IMO the best place to wait is at approximately 34,66 (by the broken bridge over the frozen waterfall if you don't have coordinates). He flies in different circles depending on where he spawns, but you have a good chance of getting an npcscan hit on any of his circles from this location.
--If you are doing other things on your computer, be sure to enable sound in the game to play when you are tabbed out - it's called "Sound in Background" in the sound options.
--Check in periodically and move your toon to make sure you're not "away"... after a certain amount of away time the game will boot you. Good luck.

I guess I got EXTREMELLLLYYYY lucky, but I got the mount 20 minutes after installing NPCScan. 5 minutes to login, look around it's options... 1-2 more minutes to fly to Storm Peaks. Than I made half circle around the zone following the track and I heard the BEEP!

Medivh Server - Bagged my Second Drake on the 5\6\2012
Story - Once my Horde Warrior was 85 , ive decided to farm this mount again . After almost a month of farming i decided to give up. On the 6th i was doing achievments for fun and was working on "Second that Emotion" in the cooking section . I was missing 3 of the 4 dishes already having Tasty Cupcakes down . So when i made the 3 other dishes and saw they offered 5 and not only one i decided to make some cupcakes also and offer the 4 remaining to my guildy's for the achievment also just to be nice . Anyways flew over to Storm Peaks to kill a few birds to get eggs , i end up falling to my death at one point . When i get back to my corpse and revive , Bam NPCScan goes off , TLPD . Again like the first time my heart goes racing . I locate him and grab his aggro , bring him down and the hit him with a Heroic throw and then it was all history .
Sorry about that long story here's the picture of my kill .

Killed TLPD around 6:15am CDT/7:15a server (eastern). Camped the spawn location north/northeast of Frosthold last night for an hour between dungeons. Logged on this morning before work, logged out (joking that she'd probably fly by as I logged out) to install NPC Scan. I installed NPCScan and as soon as I get logged in and spawn (before I could even configure NPC Scan) it starts alarming and my screen was flashing that TLPD was found.
I thought it was a joke and that NPCScan wasn't working right and then I spotted TLPD around 33,66 and killed her around 43,57. I had to follow her for a bit so that she was low enough to the ground that I could survive the fall since I didn't have any reagents for slow fall.

Killed Vyra and she spawned right infront of me as i was sitting over Brunnhildar Village. Some friends where with me and we all hit the routes. Two of them had the Time -lost mount. no shared spawn time, or shared patroll. But i got the Kill on Vyra ( rather have the mount ).
Boom 22 hours later i got the sucker! path was adjacent to that of Vyra, and both where counter clockwise path. 3 years of random month long farming paid off! wish you all best of luck!

200+ hours of camping at Bors Breath, was thinking of packing it in and leaving. I had seen Vyragosa a few times while passing through but never Time Lost. :( was doing Silver Covenant Dailies and went to Tol Barad, which we lost coz we had 3 healers and 1 dps ;P , So I felt quite bad and was going back to hand in the daily quests when as I passed through NPC scan jumps :) yey but..... Im in holy spec, lol, thinking some1 was gonna get it b4 me, my heart started jumping, lol, tagged it and killed it quick. Now, I have my drake and I am happier than a man that thought he found a badger done its buisness on his pie but it turned out to be an extra big raisin :) good luck guys and remember, luck is better than just camping :)

Hello,
After some intense months of heavy 10h-a-day camping, I have managed to see both Vyragosa and the mighty TLPD
spawn
. In chronological order:
May 9th, 2012. Realm time: 11.37 >
Vyragosa
is seen flying from Bor's Breath to the Engine of the Makers. I tag her and kill her at exactly 27.62, just at the Abandoned Camp, close to the ruins.
May 9th, 2012. Realm time: 21.44 >
Time-Lost Proto Drake
SPAWNS
at 30.67 (at the three-way intersection, high). He stays idle for some seconds and then departs East-bound, where it is hastely killed by some faster guy than me...
May 12th, 2012. Realm time: 02.16 >
Vyragosa
SPAWNS
at 32,65, where I kill her inmediately.
I am still pretty disappointed on how I missed the TLPD alarm... If I would've heard it just seconds earlier I would now have the mount...
PS: Uploading screenshots now.
Kind regards,

This was my luckiest day for rares ever. Got this on my 4th toon after getting Phosphorescent Stone drake on my 5th toon earlier. Maybe I should go buy a lottery ticket...Barely spent any time camping on these toons after spending months in Storm Peaks and Deepholm on others.

ok here is what i learned from camping for TLPD.
1. i believe the spawn points that are noted are correct
2. they spawn in a clockwise rotation unlike what previous post say.
3. although they tend to spawn at the top of the hour on my server, i have seen them spawn at the half hour mark.
4. the flight paths for the spawn points are correct.
and the last thing. on my server ( will tell you once i down TLPD and not vyragosa for the 6th time) the spawn time is 8pm, 2am, 8am, 2pm EST.
hope this helps.

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.

Since I was first made aware of the TLPD during the early months of Wrath, I took a different approach to most active hunters of this rare gem. Instead of camping for "X" amount of hours/days, I always just took a few minutes either at the beginning or ending of my play session to take one of my toons and just fly through Storm Peaks, trying to follow the path the drake is known to appear. To me, it was kind of like playing the slots, I just figured I'd strike out 99% of the time but maybe someday my number would come up. Well, turns out I was right! Last week, in the early morning hours before I had to get ready for work, I got some coffee and logged on to do bank stuff on various toons (I don't play that much anymore) and decided to just take my hunter north from Dalaran into Storm Peaks, just for a quick peek. I flew by the main spawn intersection and didn't see anything, so my thoughts were just to look to see if any other rares were up which I could snag a quick bit of gold. As I went north around the center of the zone, I approached the Grom'arsh Crash Site and my NPCscan went off. Having stumbled upon his corpse a couple times, I didn't get overly excited but I clicked on the NPC pic and when I targeted a very much alive TLPD, I knew my lucky day had arrived :) I located him flying southeast, almost directly over the crash site, so I landed on a cliff nearby and two shotted him. I couldn't stop taking screenshots as I looted his precious cargo! The past week, I keep logging on my hunter, just to take another look at this awesome mount, and the fact that he'll be usable on all my toons come MoP just made getting him that much sweeter. For those still hunting, I'd say don't give up but also don't "kill yourself" in the process. Make it a part of your routine and just work those odds in your favor by checking at all times and days of the week. Eventually, your number just might come up!

I would like to confirm that the spawn timer should be 7 hours, killed Vyragosa at 11:52 and then TLPD at 19:02 server time on the same day.
I would suggest just camping and leaving your PC running: you will hear the NPC scanner, so feel free to study or do other things... good luck

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 just killed the Time-lost proto at 3:00am ST on Cho'gall. 5/24/12
Took two days of camping Bor's Breath from 10pm-6am. I camped that spot on my bf's account while I was on mine doing other things. When npcscan went off, I summoned my char there and killed the Time-Lost. Vyragosa had not spawned while I was camping.. at least not where I was camping. Possible someone else killed that one somewhere else.
Only downside... In my rush to kill the proto before someone else... AND with being so excited that it popped up... I died once trying to dot it in the air to aggro it... then lost it when I rezze'd... and when I finally succeeded to aggro the proto... I killed the proto on a ledge and ended up being unable to loot it because it fell somewhere where I couldn't loot. Put a ticket in and now I wait.
edit: Just got it again for the 2nd time in less than a week 5/27/12... This time on accident and on a different server.. Arygos at 6:40am ST. Was on a different toon flying from Storm Peaks to Icecrown to quest on my alt when NPCscan screamed at me. It's awesome I got it on my alt but I wanted it on my main which I still have yet to get since Blizzard has yet to answer my ticket about the looting. Keep at it everyone.
Edit: Blizz did respond after about two more tickets about the Time-Lost the following week, and I received the mount in the mail. Too bad with the patch it doesn't matter what character I got him on.
Happy Hunting! xxx

Today I finally got to go to Northrend for the first time in my life. I have the NPCScan add-on and i decide to go around the flight path of the Time-Lost Proto Drake to try my luck. I went through the whole path and I was gonna leave the area but then my war drums went off on my NPCScan and my heart starts beating so fast. I looked around for 5 minutes but couldn't spot him so I freaked out, Logged out and cleared my Cache and got back on. Went around the Path I spotted it on and finally found it and killed it. I figure i'm pretty lucky.

Just wanted to post my victory story here. Over the past few months (months!) I sat patiently waiting for this guy to fly by. When I wasn't at home I had my loving and (grudgingly) understanding wife maintain the vigil when she was at her computer. Twice the TLPD slipped through my wife's hands: by the time she got over to my computer another previously-unknown camper had offed the dragon and was sporting the mount. I couldn't believe how many people, almost two expansions later, are camping this rarespawn! As I lead with, I finally achieved my goal, and am now squealing around Orgrimmar on this beauty. For those of you still fighting the long fight, I say this: Keep faith, and be patient. It isn't the "Time-Lost" Protodrake for nothing. If you should find yourself on Azjol-Nerub, I found my TLPD at 12:04 A.M. (server time) on the date of this posting. Good luck, and good hunting!

I have found the comments here very helpful, & here is my input after getting TLPD this morning.
--WOO! He is WORTH IT!
--In 17 days of very dedicated camping, Vyragosa showed up 21 times that I know of, and I killed her 12 of those times (when I couldn't find anybody else around who wanted her). I kept clearing my NPCScan cache because Vyra makes great practice and I was given confidence that NPCScan was working well.
--TLPD is quite a bit smaller and faster than Vyra, and was flying low enough that I was able to fly through him, land, and cast ranged spells to tag him.
--IMO best spot to camp when alone is hovering right over the Broodmother's Nest. When not alone: sitting on the tall boulder just south of the Engine of the Makers. That's where I was this morning when TLPD alarmed on one of the south routes.
--my spamming macro for TLPD:
/tar time
/tar Vyra
/focus
--my macro for seeing who else of all levels (of my faction) is in the zone:
/who z-"The Storm Peaks"
Good luck fellow campers! Don't give up! Sooner or later you will be the one in the right place at the right time.

Hours later and I'm still in shock I finally got this guy. Honestly, I'd given up the semi-serious camping months ago and occasionally will fly up to Stormpeaks to have a look when I'm in Dalaran, which is what I did this morning (about
10:45 realm time, Black Dragonflight
).
I was approaching the mountain pass just west of Frosthold when the npcscan went off! I looked and there he was! All alone, coming right at me! So I flew right into him, landed on the side of the mountain and got myself a new mount. I've been carrying snowfall lager all this time and didn't even need it. I'm thrilled to pieces and wish everyone still hunting this guy to not give up. He might appear right in front of you!

Finally got this mount after about a month and a half. Well, let me break down my experience a little bit. I started camping around a month and a half ago, I camped for 8 days until I got bored and decided to give up at the time. A few days later I see someone with it and ask him when he got it and he said a few minutes ago, and that got me slightly upset/frustrated, but I decided to move on, and then again another few days later I see another person with TLPD, he told me he got a few minutes ago aswell, but I still decided not to camp for him. Later, that month I see someone riding Aeonaxx and ask him when/how long/and where he got it and he explained everything and surprisingly he also had TLPD, he gave me some words of advice and told me it was worth it. So, from that point I went back to camping, I camped for 6 days straight, by saying straight I mean the entire day my guy was logged on except for a few hours overnight. After, 6 days of camping about 8 Vyragosa kills, 12 Skoll kills/tames, 4 Dirkee kills, and 6 Putridus the Ancient kills, he finally spawned. He spawned right over the frozen lake which is where I was camping and when that NPCScan went off I just started shaking. The weird part of actually getting him was that I was planned to go out somewhere that day and he spawned as I was leaving my house and about to log out.
Server: Icecrown - US
Realm Time: 3:02 P.M.
Date 6/12/2012
So, I know this might be long TL;DR, but my experience may greatly help others. It just goes to show that if you're determined you'll get him, talking to other people and getting information greatly helps, and the chances of him spawning are just as good as him spawning when you're leaving the house or going to take a shower, so always give in that extra minute of camping it could save you GREATLY like it did for me.
Side note: Make sure to use NPCScan, NPCScan_Overlay, and Silver Dragon. Also, when you camp make sure to press "ESC", go to "Options", then "Sounds", and turn off music and ambient sounds and put your volume high. It makes it less irritating to listen to that music and you can hear NPCScan when it goes off.
Good luck to everyone trying.

After camping for almost a month I finally got it :D I logged on/off everyday near bors breath, so the next day i logged on in the early afternoon and then tabbed out to check some emails. I tabbed back into wow and npcscan went off and i started freaking out because i couldn't see him at first, then i turned my camera around and he was there. I then proceeded to tag him asap because there was at least 9 people in storm peaks (yea i know another expansion later and there were at least 9 people on ally and who knows how many on horde camping this drake still). While i was killing him there was 3 people who showed up and I'm assuming they were camping him too. I feel like it does take a lot of patience and sometimes just a bit of luck when logging on/camping. He spawned at 3:48 on shadowmoon (well technically it could have spawned earlier, that is just when my npcscan picked it up.
I got the Vyragosa spawn 5 times in camping for about a month.
I love this mount :D I might try to camp the rare spawn in deepholm, but I don't really like the look of the stone drakes from this expansion. I prefer the proto drake look so much more. (I have the heroic madness/glory drakes and they are very *!@#ty looking compared to the protos)

Oh rly? You rly think Time-lost proto drake is easy to find? your wrong!Why?Cause he share spawn with vyragosa.1 of them can spawn each 6-24hours but there's 4 spawn point... and oh yes you have 1/20 to see him spawn.! so thats like 1chance on 80 to see The time lost proto drake spawning at ur point And It dont mean ull get it. If u rly want this drake go in a low pop realm and fly like a maniac to all the spawn point.. (Im in blackrock us and I saw him once after 5days of camping? guess what "! He was... dead. Ill add a screenshot soon...) If you cant server transfer just waste ur time and /cry each time u see it death...

Hey guys, hope this helps those farming out there.
Server Garona: Date 06/14/12
Saw Vyra approx 5:30ish PM server time. Killed and looted.
Came back several times for the next few hours. No sign of anything.
Was about to log for the night and decided to make one more quick trip.
Started at Frozen Lake spawn point, flew up to Engine, and then towards Brun Village.
TLPD was flying straight at me. I assume he spawned at the village, but I didnt see him spawn.
Downed him @ approx midnight server time on Garona server.
Been farming him consistently for about 2 weeks now.
Another farmer that invested way more time than I did also got him a few days earlier.

I obtained TLPD on my Death Knight well over a year ago. I have just come back to the game after a year off and decided to camp him on my Hunter. After a day or so of on and off camping, I became a little bored and went to tame some rare pets and then onto Deepholm to camp Aeonaxx.
I took my Druid to Storm Peaks instead, to look for TLPD. I really had no hope of finding him quickly since I had no sense of where the spawn timer might be. I found and killed Dirkee during the mid afternoon and that was the only rare I saw in SP until 6:12. I was grilling outside, came in the house and my NPC Scan went off and there he was. Tagged and killed TLPD right before two other campers came along. Phew...

I was reading some of the comments and thought I would try the "post and you shall receive" trick. I have kept a log of things and I thought I would share some of the info in it, and I will update with all of it when I receive the drake.
Character: Dolthra
Realm: Muradin
Camp: Frozen Lake Spawn Point
6/23 2:25am Vyragosa spawned and woke me up, but was killed by a hunter who set up camp about five feet in front of me. Appeared to be flying clockwise from the Ulduar or Crash Site flight paths. Went back to bed incredibly pissed off.
6/23 10:47am Vyra spawn, counter clockwise, Ulduar or Crash Site. Killed and looted.
6/23 11:18am Vyragosa's body despawned
I also killed Vyra another 3 times over the time I have been camping, only seen TLPD corpse once. I have been comparing data with other people, and I have found that:
It takes exactly 30 minutes for Vyragosa to despawn.
Appears that spawn timer is affected by other rares being killed in the world as of Cataclysm. Vyra did not spawn until 10:47, which would make sense, assuming that most of the morning players would be logged on by 10:30.
It is much more adventageous to camp at one of the spawn points instead of the frozen waterfall. If Vyra or TLPD spawn at the spawn point in frozen lake, you can tag it before anyone else, and it will possibly aggro you, depending on your level.
I hope the information I gathered can help someone else. Happy hunting and see you in Storm Peaks!

I had been hunting this mount for months, never seen it, gave up, then I was doing my daily quests in Ice Crown, just flying past K2 camp when I spot it, heart in my mouth, there is no one else around, this is my lucky day (week, month, year?) tracked it, killed, it got it.
Should I buy a Lotto ticked today? or is that asking to much, anyway this is the best day on WOW so far!

guys download the add-on from curse called NPCScan. It paints your map and minimap with a colored path for you to follow. It includes all the rare mobs and whe the add-on has the rare mob in sight, it will set off an alarm (you can change the sound of it in interface) and have an alert with the mobs name on your screen. It is an amazing add-on. found so many mobs from it

I've been working on getting the mounts from Magister's Terrace, Utgarde Pinnacle, and Setthek Halls for close to six months.
One hour of camping for TLPD, and I get it (not that I'm complaining).
I'll go ahead and repeat what's already been said though-best spot if you're the only camping for it is the nest. I was camping here and he came from the village to the east.

So I was attempting to get the frostbitten achievement with my friend while we were talking about the TLPD. We decide to sit in storm peaks at different spawn points and wait to see if he or Vyra spawned. An hour later, after much research (by me) on WoWhead, he spawns and flies right by me. Someone tagged him, but alas they fell to their death. So in my priestly ways, I tagged him and levitated to the ground as someone else tried to tag him killing him. My friend was too far away to be able to roll on the mount, but I got it with my first time farming and within an hour! Troubly- Thrall Killed at 12:50 AM by the frozen lake (He didnt spawn there, was flying one of the paths).

I heard that TLPD is despawnd after he flyes past all hes routs, thats why it takes some ppl months to find him. They could have started at the wrong spawn point and missed him, then he despawns and vyragosa spawns in his place. (unconfirmed)

Found TLPD on Argent Dawn, US & killed it on June 29, 2012 around 2:04pm est., server time. I have my screen shot from me looting the body & posted it to my twitter account (same name as my screen name on here). Found it between Frosthold & Valkyrion. Killed at co-ords 27, 66 (Bor's Breath).
Also I hung around to see how long the corpse stayed there. It took around 35 minutes for the corpse to despawn.
Good luck to everyone else out there looking for this rare spawn!

Hai guys and gurlies
So; I thought i'd share my kill with you all.
Finally got TLPD 01/07/2012 (UK date)
.. I zoned into Storm Peaks (Goblin Warlock) at around 11:02am (server time) on Dreanor Realm. At 11:05am I flew up over the Waterfall at Bor's Breath and as soon as I was at the top of it NPCScan went off with Vryagosa, I quickly clicked to target but she was already dead (in the EXACT moment i'd clicked NPCScan icon and looked at the corpse it despawned); so going off the fact of reading she has a 30 minute despawn timer, I made decission to wait in Storm Peaks for the next rare to spawn. As I have read a million times over or in various different forms Time-Lost shares the same respawn timer & so for any one of them to spawn could be between 6 - 12 hours (average). On this I decided to wait.. And wait... And wait some more. I was mainly camping around Bor's Breath with the odd patrol around the path he takes. At 22:34pm NPCScan and SilverDragon both went off.. My heart skipped a beat as both icons showed "TIME LOST PROTO DRAKE" - OMG! I quickly targeted it (whether this means anything or not - was in the same spot as where Vryagosa's corpse depawned).. No-one had tapped so I scanned arouond looking for it and right in the valley part of Bor's Breath.. There it was! Beautiful! I flew over (no one around) dismounted and tagged him .. And right at that second I realised I was higher up than I thought, I fell to the ground and DIED! Holy Shiiiii, I died! I was shaking and talking to my boyfriend (who was feeding our baby) "OMG, I DIED; 12 HOURS AND I IVE DIED CAUSE IM A FOOL" (lol) thinking "Well, ive missed my chance now; i'm never going to get it :( - Anyways, I got back to my body (which was like 5 seconds away).. Targeted the Drake again and OMG.. it wasn't tapped.. Looked up toward Valkrion and he was still in tack; So i flew (shaking all the time) .. Landed on a ledge "corruprtion" and it was MINE! - There was just no one around.. People were coming and going all day and there were still around 11 people in Storm Peaks at the time - I am one lucky cow. Lol. So afew alliance players turned up to /spit on me so i got on MY new mount and decided to wait to check the despawn timer; I looted at 22:34pm and corpse depawned around 23:04pm - Around 30 minutes :)
Happy Hunting everyone.

I keep reading speculations about spawn timers and the amount of time it will take for this creature to spawn... probable locations, common sightings...
This is completely random - it's the whole point. You can't say it will spawn 6 hours - 2 days - do you hear how wide of a range of time that is? You just can't pinpoint it's exact actions. It will spawn randomly, in a random place on its pathways, and the only things certain are where it will fly from which ever spawn point it RANDOMLY chooses, and that it shares the same paths as Vyragosa and may be a rare spawn of a rare (Vyragosa). That's it! You can't say when it will spawn or where for sure - so why is everyone debating about it?

Guys TLPD has 100% drop rate.. Its that easy. Why Wowhead says he got killed 663 times and mount only dropped 651 times is because of bugs. If you never heard of these bugs where u can't loot him because he fall down under the ground, then go read about them. It happened to my friend that camped him 3 months seen him dead 3 times and killed Vyragosa over 45 times that he finally find him and he fall in a mountain side. Thats why it says 98% guys... Thats why.
Good Luck to you all.
No, it does not have 100% drop rate. Yes, sometimes his body falls where it cannot be looted.. this is not a bug, this is bad timing.

Basically if you're serious about this camping, you need to camp spawn spots. If you research and understand all four spawn points, you can make your selection and stay at one. That way, you are GUARANTEED a 25% chance at catching the Time-Lost as opposed to flying around with no idea where he may come from. And, if you aren't at a spawn point, someone may be camping a spawn point in the distance and snag him before you and you may not even know it at all. Flying around in circles is probably the worst thing you could do, actually. I don't give a %^&* about your scanners. If you stay in a location that's right on top of a spawn point, there's no way you can miss him. There are just too many chances of missing him if you're scattered all over Storm Peaks.

Why isn't this a title or a Feat of Strength? It's clearly one of the most rare mounts in WoW.

Got TLPD today. Here's some info for you the ones camping him;
I had been camping about 3 weeks without seeing him once, killed Vyragosa 3 times without any spawns. I kinda gave up on it a month ago, and stopped looking for him. Today, after looking for the arcane books in Dala, I decided I'd go for a short flight up to Storm Peaks. Not to camp or anything, just thouhgt it'd be fun. As I flew to Bor's Fall from Bor's Breath, the addon went off. Didn't see him, so I flew back to see if he had spawned over the machinery-thing where the blue proto-drakes are. As he wasn't there- I was certain I'd lost him to somebody else, but when I flew back to Bor's Fall I could see him flying between Bor's Fall and K3. I aggro'd him and got him to the top of Bor's Fall, kill time 16:10. Server: Grim Batol. About 10-20 mins later, Skoll spawned at Bor's Breath, and I whispered a hunter in the area and summoned him so that he could tame it.

Hey, nothing earth shattering here that hasn't already been previously reported. I camped the entire time at Bro's Breath with the occasional loop around the Brunnhildar path. I would fly around Brunnhildar every 30 min or so just to check. Reason being that if a rare had been killed it would take a while to despawn and I could still find it. As you can see a few times it actually paid off. The location posted is the route (spawn) that the rare was on not where I killed it. All of my kills short of the few Brunnhildar spawns were within Bor's Breath. I also rounded to the nearest 15 min for time. I found it very interesting that the last few spawn really favored the Ulduar spawn point including my eventual TLPD kill. I am lucky in that I work on my computer as well so I was able to keep WoW up in the background on average 10-12 hours every day. After a while I thought I was the most unlucky person in the world. It took a lot of determination and patience, but it definitely paid off. Here's the data:

I am an engineer so I equipped my back with slow fall otherwise you can use the slow fall beverage bought in Storm Peaks as well. I would generate aggro, dismount, tag and then hit my slowfall in mid air. When TLPD eventually did come through I got so flustered that I dismounted mid air and forgot to hit my slowfall. I became a pro with this routine on Vyra but got too excited when TLPD came. My health was completely wiped out save for 3k health. I thought for sure I had blown it. Thankfully TLPD doesnt have much health and I killed it quickly once it was grounded. Every time Putridus spawned I killed it quickly. I don't believe that there is a direct connection to Putridus, however after killing Putridus I did have some luck in seeing Vyra spawn within the hour. Most likely a coincidence, but nevertheless it happened often enough that I thought it should at least get a mention. Sorry hunters (I have a hunter too so I know), but I also killed Skoll any time that I saw it. The fewer rares in Northrend the better in terms of quicker spawns imo. After sooooo many Vyra's in a row I debated quitting multiple times, but I'm glad I stuck it out.
Competition will come and go A LOT. There were only 2-3 other dedicated campers that I saw frequently during this entire time. You'll get some other idiots coming through from time to time to act like they are taking your camp spot. Don't let it but you. The majority of people go away just as quickly as they came. Feel free to ask any questions as I feel I've gained quite a bit of knowledge throughout this camping experience. Thanks!

I got my 3rd one recently with a combined camping time of about 2 days in total. I have to say each one was found at Bore's Breath-- either coming to or coming from. Also a few Vyragosa sightings as well. Probably the best place to camp. At least in my opinion.

TLPD was killed yesterday on Nordrassill-EU, around 10-00 PM server time.
I was leveling my alt and noticed camper, who was hanging aroung Adandoned Camp. We chatted a little bit about TLPD. Scanner went off twenty minuties later, when I was at Frosthold, getting some new quests. The mob was alive and flying under Frozen Lake towards Valkyrion. I started to move to the mob, /w to camper and invited him to group. The mob become grey when I was near it and dead a couple seconds later. The good thing was that he was killed by the this camper. The guys was just very happy.
Important note
: scanner shows little circle on minimap, indicates possible area of the mob's location. Point is that this time TLPD was beyond this area. So, be warned about this.

So his is how it feels like...
SERVER: EMERISS EU, 0500AM SERVER TIME 17/08/12.
Just gone to Stormpeaks for a quick look around. Sitting at the frozen lake for a min then I got DC from battlenet. But did not think more of it since I did not get disconnected from the game, but after circling for 5 min i noticed that there was no NPC's flying or walking around. Then flew to K3 to relog but had to ALT + F4.
When I logged back in, I was sitting over the frozen lake agian?, that was a wierd DC I thought to myself. Decided to just take a last round before going to bed. The Funny thing is that when I was flying to EoM I Became aware that the battle drums in the WoW music was really going nuts. I thought to myself that it could be cool if the music would change dynamic if a wild thing would randomly happen, like if you were close to something rare the music would change.
Then BOOMSHIZZLE all over the show, I got NPC scanner in my face. TLPD, flying same hight as me towards me. I dismounted mid air with a serpent sting, and before I smashed down in to the icy ground of stormpeaks I hit the disengage. While standing safely on the ground I took the freedom to let the drake that I have been on/off now for 2 years bite me abit in my face, while I was Taking my gooooood time to figure out what Arrow I should SMASH IN HIS FACE FOR LETTING ME WAIT FOR SO LONG... There u go my story, my kill, my trophy. NO MORE HS IN DALARAN ;D I wish you all the best in MoP

First time I ever saw this guy was this morning, 8am server time on Hyjal. I was flying back from doing some Argent Tourney dailies and decided to check around Storm Peaks just for fun. Alt-tabbed out to come here and just verify some stuff. I come back and NPC scan going wild with it. I panic and start looking around. Finally see it, tag it and drop. Bubble (Pally FTW!) and kill him. A shaman is seconds behind me as he drops to the ground. I was shaking so bad I could hardly loot. I'm still overwhelmed by it all. Stupid game =)

Found him at around 2:50 P.M. realm time on Gul'dan. My _NPCscan had NOT went off at any point, but thankfully I spotted him. My faith in _NPCscan is a little shaken now. He was certainly not cached or anything. After searching fruitlessly for him for almost all of WotLK, I finally bagged him at the tail end of Cataclysm. Best of luck in your searches!

Camped with two accounts for 9 days ~9 hours a day. Total time lost : 81 hours.
Patchday was a good day for camping, few people in Storm Peaks. Only saw 2 Vyragosa spawns tho.
Day after patchday was better for me, TLPD spawned at the lake.
Hordes came camping where I was camping with my alliance rogue, so I had to move the rogue to brunnhildar where I usually camped with my horde hunter. And then I moved my hunter to the lake.
No alliance that evening (apart from me) so I could camp on ground with my hunter, alarm goes off .. Can't see the dragon...
Starting to mount up when I see the big dragon above my head, Explosive shot and it fell to the ground!
Of course the dragon died in a hill, what to do? Made a ticket and tried to approach the loot from all angles, no dice.
I tried to drag a Harpy up so I could mass-loot, but either I dont have it enabled or it wasnt in range.
Thought of the new Glyph
被烧毁的雕文
for hunters that allow the pet to loot corpses, but I didnt have it and I didnt dare to leave the corpse.
A guildie bought it for me and after some fumbling and searching in the spellbook ... it worked like a charm!
I love whomever made that glyph! Now .. what do I call my pet? I can never abandon that pet, perhaps I should call it "Time-lost proto fetcher".
TLPD spawned and killed at 22:58, I finally looted it at 23:12. Corpse despawned at ~23:45.

THE MOST UNLUCKY PERSON ON AZEROTH - A short story by Calisha.
I, Calisha - Darksorrow am truly the most unlucky person on planet Earth. Want to hear my story?
Well here goes...
It was happy day in World of Warcraft, i was in Nagrand, getting my reputation with Mag' Har. I finally get my Talbuk mounts after 7 hours of non-stop ogre-obliteration. My friend was in Storm Peaks, I decided to go give him a surprise visit. I was on a flight master from borean tundra to K3. I guessed he was waiting for the Time-Lost Proto Drake. So i was going to go to the most poular area where he is found, hoping my friend would be there.
I am now in Storm Peaks, about 15 seconds away from K3 and guess what? My NPC Scan went off! "Time-Lost Proto Drake has been found!" I punched myself to wake up. I saw it flying near me. I couldn't stop as i was on a flight master mount. I had to wait a few seconds to go back and kill it.
I saw another person, an alliance he was flying around near K3, i hoped he wouldn't find it. Finally, i get dismounted, my heart pounding in my chest, i flew all the way to where i found him, i scanned around for atleast 30 seconds looking for him.
I found him flying around, I nearly had a heart attack from excitement, i Flew towards it, The alliance found it, he had a 310% mount, he beat me, he killed it, he got the mount, he was happy, I was gutted, he was standing on top of the corpse dancing...
I was ever so close to getting my mount...
And that is why, I, Calisha, am the most unlucky person in the world (of warcraft)...

Found TLPD at 29.4, 36.7, patrolling clockwise through Bor's Breath just before Valkyrion at 23:47 server time on Hakkar. I was fortunate enough to have the blessing of AOE looting available from the patch.
I was standing on a ledge high enough to reach him with my DOTs. As he approached, my DOTs killed it, and it landed in that magical no-man's land on the side of the ledge out of m loot range. I had to pull a couple of Harpies in a vicinity for the AOE loot to work.

Does anyone have any information on how cross realm zones work with rares such as our good friend Mr timelost.
I now see people from several realms camping him but have no clue if the rares work on a realm by realm basis.

Can confirm that this is affected by Cross Realm Zones.
NPCscan went off, found the TLPD seconds later, dead and killed by a character from Gnomeregan, I was pretty disheartened none the less.

Some of you may not believe this but I got this mount after 30 minutes of farming so I read up on how lucky I got and this is after cross realm areas so I got even luckier but the mount is a rare spawn of a rare spawn it shares a spawn timer with vyragosa and from what ive seen from friends the mount and after I read he spawns randomly no set time what I mean by that is when vyragosa spawns it could have been time lost i hope this helped you farmers in any way :D

So I knew Vyragosa got killed around five in the morning just as I went to bed, I wake up this morning around 10, I knew Vyra/TLPD would spawn around 10h00-12h00. Mind you I'm not really hunting this by any means, I am however doing Frostbitten. But anyways, flying around a bit all over the place doing some Tournament dailies and what not, on my way back from the Sword daily and all of a sudden my NPC scan pops! I look... TLPD, I nearly !@#$ myself! So I click the NPC scan icon to target him... guess what... he's dead! I was a bit dissapointed to be honest, would've been an awesome story "oh I just flew right in to it" but I guess I'm not that lucky! Haha, a friend of mine actually went AFK (back in WOTLK) in Storm Peaks, came back and he was just attacking him! Some people are quite lucky! I did however find Dirgee right after, so I'm not too fussed at all! But would've been nice to add another rare mount to the collection, oh well! =) So many people camping it for days, wouldn't have felt right "stealing" it away from them anyway.

Got TLPD this morning at 11:34 EST on Kel'Thuzad.
Running 2 accounts, it popped on my 2nd account camping Kel'thuzad. I was like "OMG FINALLY" after camping over 200 hours... not over exaggerating either. Since I didn't want it on my 2nd account, I invited the toon that was camping on my main account to the party and using Cross Realm Zones, it ported me from Kil'Jaeden to Kel'thuzad.
GOT 'EM!

Found at 6:04 A.M. server time on Icecrown/Undermine/Area-52 x-servers.
After camping for a continuous 6 days at 18 hours a day we got 14 Vyragosa spawns, 6 of which were at the Lake spawn, 6 which were at the waterfall spawn, and 2 were from unknown spawn points.
This may be (probably is) a coincidence, but every spawn between Vyragosa's was a minimum of 8 hours and when TLPD spawned it was only 6 hours after the last Vyragosa spawn. I've gotten TLPD three times now and this seems to be the same thing, still may just be a coincidence.
But, yeah onto my story. I was camping the lake spawn point and was lying in bed about to fall asleep and hear NPCScan go off, at this point it was just routine to expect Vyragosa so I didn't get an adrenaline feeling like I would expect to and at first glance it didn't even hit me. After a few seconds it finally settled in and I knew what I had to do, I just targeted him and was looking around crazily, then I see it flying right over the frozen water area (a little passed the waterfall spawn) and I fly towards him, get him aggro'd with my rogue and get him down. To my surprise people flew to the body less than seconds later. I was very lucky for it to spawn so early in the morning because now with the x-servers it's very difficult to get TLPD unless it spawns at the spawn you're camping.
Alright, well done with my yapping, good luck to everyone!

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

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.

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.

I've already left an account of my TLPD story on the
NPC
page, but I thought I might give a more imaginative perspective.
Background
I am Draenei, or I was once. I was friend to the beasts and lived for the wild places. Now I live no more, and the wonders of nature do not speak to me. The beasts have abandoned me, as has the Light. I am a Death Knight, undead scourge of the Lich King's creation.
I am different now, instead of companionship I crave dominion. As rumors reached my ears of a wondrous, ancient proto-drake, clad in golden scales that shone like the sun, I knew it was fate for us to meet. Fate for me to subdue the unfindable, untamable beast of legend.
So I waited, and listened, until I had learned all I could about the beast. Then my journey began.
The Hunt
I ventured to the icy heights of the Storm Peaks, where this elusive creature was said to reside. The winds were fierce and biting with an approaching blizzard, but my body had been through worse. The cold could not kill me. Upwards through the clouds, always upwards I climbed, until at last I reached a magnificent frozen waterfall that seemed to be a mile high. My steed, a regal frostwyrm, and I waited out the storm before making the final push to the top. We came across a frozen lake where the golden drake had been seen before and settled in for the wait.
Hours passed, and then days, staring at the frozen landscape, but my plagued eyes did not tire. I became one with the landscape, a frozen drift in a sea of ice and snow.
Finally, another creature came to pass by the frozen lake. It was a beautiful blue drake, shimmering in the afternoon light. I had heard rumors of such a drake, of course, but I had not believed. To think that a member of the Blue Dragonflight would find itself in the Storm Peaks! I mounted my frostwyrm and took to the sky, shaking snow from my armor, to speak with this strange creature. However, as soon as she spotted me her eyes filled with rage. She began madly throwing spell after spell at me until I fled, not wishing to provoke the Dragonflights by killing one of their number. I would see the mad drake many times before I first sighted my true quarry.
It was a week, give or take, before I caught my first glimpse of the legend I was hunting. A flash of gold reflected on the snow of a nearby peak in the morning light and immediately took to the skies. Yet, when I arrived there was nothing to be found. If I trusted my eyes less I would've counted it a trick of the light, but I knew what I saw.
I saw the golden flash of scales in the sun.
It was another two weeks before my next sighting. I had grown tired of the cold and relentless storms the peaks brought their namesake from, but I pressed on, my determination unfailing. It was evening this time, the sun having just sank below the mountainous horizon. I caught a golden sheen from within the fog and excitedly set out in search of the source. I saw the phenomenon several more times before the light faded completely, leaving me bitterly disappointed. I returned to the frozen lake to continue my long watch.
Another week passed, with many more nervewracking appearances of the mad blue drake. Yet, as it was nearing sundown, I felt a certain magic in the air. A strange, old magic, that reminded me of freedom and warmth. I sat, tense with anticipation, and knowing, somehow, that tonight was the night I would finally come face to face with my prey. Hours passed, and then it appeared around the edge of a rocky crag, sudden but expected. I froze in shock for a moment as my eyes beheld, for the first time, the rustic, beautiful form of the legendary, golden,
time-lost proto-drake
. She was magnificent, she was wondrous, and
she had to be mine
.
The Battle
I mounted my wyrm and urged her to her fastest speed. I would not let this chance escape me. We circled around behind the shimmering golden drake and, harness in hand, I leaped. For one adrenaline-pumped moment I was falling and the next I had landed upon a golden bed of -surprisingly- warm scales. The beast roared in anger at my unexpected presence, twisting her head to look at me with one brilliant turquoise eye, brimming with bestial rage. Her gaping maw spat fire, though it couldn't reach me.
I quickly flung my harness around her neck and held on tight as she executed a series of barrel rolls. She leveled out again soon enough and I used the opportunity to draw my runic axe. I chopped at her flank with a resounding clang of metal on scale. The beast roared again and slammed her body into a nearby wall of ice, attempting to crush me. I rolled onto her wing at the last moment, avoiding shattering my bones. We dueled in mid-air for near half an hour before the golden beast's breath began to labor. Undead as I am, I do not tire, and I knew from the beginning that neither my strength nor my wit would win this fight. My persistence, however, outweighed even this massive drake's.
I had found her, and I would never let go.
We wrestled for awhile longer, but I saw that she knew it was a battle she could not win. Yet her ancient pride kept her fighting, and fight valiantly she did. Many times I nearly lost my grip or came an inch from smashing into unyielding rocks. This beast was a worthy opponent of both the mountains she flew, and myself.
Soon the light faded, leaving us to wrestle in darkness but for the blue glow of the gold-scaled proto-drake's eyes and mouth. Her wingbeats began to stutter and fail, exhaustion creeping into her veins like the icy plague crept through mine. She glided down onto an open plain of snow and we both knew who was the victor of this fight. I leapt from her back and confidently strode to the beast's head. As our eyes met I sucked in a breath, once again stunned by her ancient beauty. She dipped her head in respect to me, and I knew that she was mine to control.
I removed one heavy glove and reached out a hand to stroke her snout, trembling slightly. I felt the smooth strength of her scales, faintly shimmering in the dark. It was almost a sacred moment. And then I bowed my head, returning the respect of this ancient being, and walked off into the dark, knowing I would forever be changed by that moment.
Knowing that the golden drake of lore would always be mine to claim.
TL;DR-I found the Time-Lost Proto Drake.
I hope you enjoyed the read. I know I had fun writing it. Perhaps it might even help keep you sane on your long search (or short, if you're lucky).
Good luck to you all.

been camping for a month, 20-24 hours a day and i haven't had any luck. i'm slowly losing hope and sanity. if you decide to hunt this drake,
please
don't be one of the cruel people that jokes in general chat that you just got it, it's really a gut wrenching feeling when you've been working so hard on something and people just make you the butt of the joke. also, if you see a camper at a certain spot, don't stack on top of them, it's common courtesy. you don't know how long that person has been there, and it really just hurts your chance and theirs. many people have forgotten how to respect, even their own race. but if you're kind and respect those around you, it will be returned 10 fold. wish me luck, on monday october 1 2012, it will be one month one week. i haven't moved from my spawn spot. the snow is getting monotonous. i set out to succeed and each day it gets harder to stay here. wish me luck, i really need it. cheers- opal.

I suppose it's some sort of tradition now to post here once you have acquired yours.
A long hunt of 4 years is now over: out of pure habit, I flew through Bor's Breath last week and lo and behold, the accursed Temporally Misplaced Proto Flap-Flap lazily comes into view.
Fourteen times. That's how often I met this bastard, dead or in the process of being killed by someone else.
Fate, it seems, decreed that #15 was to be mine. Took me two long expansions, but finally, bastard, finally.
Gotcha.

FOUR F*CKING YEARS ARRGAHAHAGDHSAGA I HAVE WASTED MY LIFE

Google tlpd resource, to find the world's best site for information on TLPD!
TLPD resource is a website, set up by a guy called Ponderance, who wants you to stop being MIS-INFORMED on the facts about TLPD. Just browse the website at your leisure, and don't forget to stop by our forums and see what other campers have to say!
When you get there, on the top left hand corner you will see tabs for specifics on TLPD, such as spawn timers and the best places to camp!

For anyone keeping track of TLPD spawn times, I just (FINALLY!) got him as he spawned at Bor's Breath. Time of spawn was ~1225am EST on Fenris. In my excitement, I forgot to get a screenshot of the location, but I have one with the chat timestamp of the loot after the 3 second battle. Luckily for me, as you can see in the screenshot, collecting this mount also got me the Albino Drake from the Leading the Cavalry achievement :D
Good luck to all of you still searching!
Ok, so submitting a screenshot with the post didn't work like I thought it would...live and learn. Anyway, here's a link to it...

I finally became a proud owner of this mount. If it wasn't for a hunter strictly looking for Skoll! They asked in the general chat, I told them I haven't seen Skoll in a couple months after I killed it. I mentioned how I been camping day and night the past few days for it, but all I seen was the other dragon. At about 12:06 AM this morning, they typed in chat, "come here!" but it wall all misspelled. I grouped them, and there he was! flying. The hunter and I killed him, but they said I deserved the mount, they were just looking for Skoll.
I made TLPD mine at about 1:07 AM (realm time)! I was
EXTREMELY
lucky that the hunter was a great person and didn't keep the mount to themselves.
TLPD spawned exactly 6 hours after I killed Vyragosa.
TLPD was spotted in flight, but from the direction he was flying, he appeared to be flying from Brunnhildar Village area going counter clockwise. Since most stuff is cross server now, I am on an East coast realm and it is RP

I must have been very lucky. I pinged this guy right north of Brunnhildar Village at about 0657ish Realm time. I was camping the waterfall, where I popped Vyragosa about two days ago, and got bored. Normally, after about an hour of camping, I get bored and fly laps around Storm Peaks. I was in my bored lull when this thing pinged and startled me. I freaked. I chased the bastard until it turned towards that little path between Brunnhildar Village and the frozen waterfall. I popped it twice with Arcane shot and down it went. Too bad I couldn't skin it. I know some people have wasted hours upon days looking for this thing, but I spent no more than 12 hours total over a three day period and I got it. Tip of advice, don't give up. I was about five minutes away from calling it a night. Happy Hunting.

decided to take an off-day from work and went to see if i can meet the time-lost protodrake. so imagine my surprise when it spawned just when i reach storm peaks (spawn point right southwest of temple of storms) and there it was ripe for the picking! in fact it was my first time camping for the mount.

Lets break it down a bit.
Think of a graph, where Y represents time farming and X represents how important this mount is. X=Y(Squared), based on that formula you can clearly see that there's a point where you farmed the mount so much, that its no longer gaining any importance, its simply wasting your time. Hence the phrase "Time-Lost" as mentioned in other posts.
X=Y(Squared)
To all those people who claim to have spent 3+ years farming this, please refer to the formula.

Ok guys, best advice I can give... stay in 1 spot... i found him at 36,71 after only about 2hrs of camping and 518am Blades Edge time. Also there is an addon called NPCscan and NPCoverlay. I recommend them both. As long as you dont afk out and enable "sound in background", it makes a very loud noise that will scare the heck out of you but allow you to switch quickly back to wow. This location is an easy take down point. Good luck and Happy hunting.

After weeks of continuous camping, I finally got my proto-drake today at approximately 1:15 am server time on Twisting Nether. I was camped at the waterfall spawn point, and he came along the Brunnhildar loop moving clockwise. The most helpful information I found while camping was all by exploring the following site:
http://tlpdresource.com/newfacts.html
The most satisfying aspect of the camping process was that yesterday, a Horde dk came and ganked me repeatedly while I was camping the frozen lake spawn point. I finally reluctantly switched to the waterfall spawn. Today, I camped until I had to leave for a couple of hours, and when I returned, the dk was back at frozen lake, so I moved on to the waterfall. Only a couple hours later, my npcscan and silver dragon alerts went off and I downed this beauty. I couldn't resist flying my new mount in front of the dk, who graciously /saluted and /congratulated me.

I camped this mount for slightly 20 hours, then I went AFK because I wanted to take a shower. When I came back from my shower ( 10 minutes ) TLPD was lying beneath me, dead. I flipped my table and sighned. Flied back to Pandaria and did my dailies. Now I am back here again, camping. This is my forth day and I've seen TLPD once , Vyragosa 4-5 times. ( Yesyerday 3 times in a row ) and Skoll once. I am still camping but I havn't lost my hope yet! :) Happy hunting folks! :D

Today i bagged the Time lost Proto drake. My information:
Time of kill: 6:32-6:35 1-8-13.
there were two Horde around me when i tagged him. They didn't attack me and awarded me for the kill. No other alliance. Just me. 4 days of camping, in this case i was very lucky. Don't give up! Keep trying, you can do it!

The First time i camped for it lasted 10 days untill i went to make a coffee, only to come back and find a dead TLPD at my feet :(
The second camp lasted about 9 days, this is when the CRZ came out and i gave up again due to logging on and seeing atleast 5 others camping at the spawn points. ( 9 characters at Frozen Lake spawn point)

As of 1/28/12:
*As mentioned before, those new to camping the TLPD this website is a great help:
"google TLPD resource"
- Most information in the TLPD final knowledge dump vid appears to be accurate.
*My Personal Experience:
- I strictly camped the Frozen Lake spawn spot unless it was already camped then I moved to
Waterfall.
- Sightings (Realm Time) Kil'Jaeden US
1/16/13 - 8:00 PM Vyra - Frozen Lake
1/17/13 - 2:45 PM TLPD (Found Dead) - Frozen Lake
1/17/13 - 7:00 PM Vyra - Frozen Lake
1/23/13 - 9:00 AM Vyra - (Unconfirmed)
1/24/13 - 4:54 PM Vyra - Waterfall
1/27/13 - 6:00 PM TLPD (Unconfirmed) - Frozen Lake
1/28/13 - 7:00 PM TLPD - (Kill!) - Frozen Lake
- Notes on Kill: My npc scanner went off while I was camping at Frozen Lake, however, TLPD was
flying through the valley coming from Waterfall. Thus, I would again strongly suggest camping
Frozen Lake spawn spot.
Hope this helps and good luck!

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 !

Managed to get mine yesterday. 8:15 server time. I camp bors breath and usually multibox so I have one toon camping whilst I run HCs or pet battle. Whilst I was pet battling on main I heard the ominous siren of NPCscan go off.....
Tabbed to my alt and "found Time lost proto drake" but he hadn't spawned at Bors breath he had spawned by frozen lake!
Clicked name to see he was out of targetable range....flew down to lake and he was making his way toward me being followed by a guy on a engie flying mount. Managed to target and dismount...and Tagged. Took a huge amount of HP out but finally got this beast! So happy. For anyone camping this I recommend camping Bors breath as it passes many routes and will also pick up spawn on other spawn location.....happy camping and good luck to everyone

Seeing that the drop rate is 98%, does that mean there is a slim chance the mount won't even drop upon killing the drake? Well if it is the case i'll leave this there for anyone to use.

As I logged on hoping for a snow storm to catch an
Arctic Fox Kit
@ 8:30am in Snowdrift Plains, my NPC scan went off showing TLPD.
I thought it was a joke (but was able to target him although I couldn't see him) so I flew about and ended up over the 'Engine of the Makers' hole, as I knew his flight path would lead him there unless someone killed him first....
I have to say, I am surprised how small he is! Thought it would be some huge dragon. Anyway...
Since there was no competition I am proud to have my
reins
.
He also dropped a
Time-Forward Talisman of the Invoker
.
Good luck to those hoping to find him! It's definitely a luck thing and maybe my timing will help someone else. :P

I have just started farming Time lost Proto again after a considerable break from the icy north and felt my macro needed some tweaking.
I have npc scan and npc overlay on at the same time obviously but spamming the macro also ups the chance to tag Time lost or Vyragosa.
So here for the ease of any of you to copy and paste is the new and improved one.
/tar vyra
/tar Time
/stopmacro
/script PlaySound("ReadyCheck", "master");
/tell YOURNAMEHERE > %t <
DONT FORGET TO PUT YOUR OWN NAME IN WHERE IT SAYS !

Mhhh, seen Vyragosa 14 times in only 4 days! that's pretty crazy huh?
Seen TLPD dead once during these days! And I'm camping 3 spots, so I must be really really unlucky.
But I wish you all goodluck with the hunting!
PS: Sometimes Vyragosa spawned after 6h, and sometimes after 15-20h.

Edit: TLPD killed at waterfall at 09:35 monday morning (I got the kill, cheers!).
I think it took about 15h-18h for tlpd to spawn this time.

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.)
P.P.S. To Ekomi, inventor of the "Temporally Misplaced Proto Flap-Flap" name. Great. Thank you. Vyra now has a new nickname for me, and believe me when I say she does not need any additional inspiration in this area. Perhaps you can help me out by coming up with a new name that I can use for her? It would be much appreciated.

Got it at about 4:20 realm time, Nagrand EU, at the spawn just below Frosthold (cliffs it sits on, west of town), where people always hang around. Found dead Vyra about 4 hours earlier in the trench above the waterfall. Does exist, does spawn there, time = profit, eventually. All the best:)

Finally....finally after nearly 2 years off and on camping for this i got mine early hours of saturday morning.
I normally camp bors breath but had never seen anything spawn there, either TLPD or Vyragosa. I'd seen and killed, seen and followed, seen and /lol'd Vyragosa many times, 5 in the past two weeks. Usually she came along from im guessing the frozen waterfall and id follow her all over until i killed it or someone else did.
Id seen TLPD twice before i got mine, once dead nearly in front of me after returning from farming the blue proto drake, and once about two weeks ago as i flew in from Dalaran and my NPC Scan went berserk. I did target her but the blooming server went for re-start and that was that......
The past few days ive been hanging around Bors Breath, usually from around midnite till 5am, work gets in the way so i have to have some sleep!. Although theres been a few others around mostly ive had the place to myself, so i either sit there windowed and read stuff on the net, or occasionally fly about in the chance ill run into TLPD...
So this morning, on the verge of going to bed, at 0530am, im reading somthing or other after being sat there since around midnite, and off it goes. NPC scan. Oh hell! I nearly fall out my chair! Maxing the wow window, i cant see her but shes there, I scramble off the ledge at Bors breath and fly down the valley thing and there she is, golden and glorious, coming towards me at 31.7-69.6. So, what now?
I land on the nearest ledge and fall off it, nearly die in the process, and not in range.....mount up again and follow her round the edge of Bors Breath but cant get in range! Bloody Hell! Find a little hill thing with some harpies on it, land, pull her in and try to kill her asap. She does this funny blink thing and shes behind me, im low on health and this blasted harpies having a go, yeah im lvl90 and probably wouldnt die but it was a worry. Anyway TLPD drops dead, and im looting her. At last!
No more do i have to go to storm peaks.
Im afraid i had to yell in general, id thought no one was about but i got called a #$%^head. But i dont care.
Now i can finally play the game :-)
Good luck to all still looking for this wonderful drake.

This is my first post on WoWHead. I started an account just to thank everyone for all their tips and maps on how to get the Time-Lost Proto-Drake. After reading all your posts and armed with nothing but hope I can proudly say I am the owner of this elusive mount. It took me 5 long and excruciating minutes of searching, but was able to find him in no time thanks to all of those who chose to post such helpful maps and tips! Once again thank you for not only helping me get this mount, but also for helping me get my first proto-drake mount. For those of you still searching, keep at it, you will find it if you keep looking. And to add my own tip: Don't fly too high, I almost passed him up because he looked like a regular drake from far above. Thanks again for all the help and good luck to those still searching!

Just go it friday. It was at 5h56 am.
I feel very proud, two weeks that I was waiting for him without moving from there, and I was searching during four years.
Believe in your farm, but do only that and don't move if you really want him. And don't forget : Be lucky :)

I've always wanted to be the bastard saying this, so without further ado:
Caught this guy today. Camped for two weeks, saw Vyra once. I was getting my kid some water in the kitchen and NPCscan went off, bolted into the office and boom. Mine.
Miiiiiiineeeeahadhsafsefgsegsrgdrh okay I'm better now, let the downvoting commence.

I have verified the Vyragosa is on a random spawn timer. I saw her killed on Darkspear at 2 pm, server time and then on Lightinghoof at 3:45 server time. I logged onto my wife's account and set her out there on Lightinginghoof, while I watched Darkspear on my account. She killed Vyragosa at 10:30 pm server time on Lightinghoof. It is 10:49 server time on Darkspear right now and I have not seen Vyragosa again or the Time Lost Proto Drake.
I have been trying to get TLDP for over a year now.
When my wife killed Vyra she was sitting near the Engine of the Makers and Vyra was coming in from Brunnhildar Village.
I hope this helps someone.
Yay for complete randomness and CRZ to make things even more difficult.
Happy hunting!

I've gotten five of these babies.
First was the grand hunt. I got ganked after three weeks of farming by a warlock. I took revenge on the bastard later. Only time I ever went out of my way for ganking like I did then. But a week later, the golden dragon spawned on me again. I was extremely happy.
Next after wanting on my alt, I camped for three months. On my Horde DK just because I love Storm Peaks. It spawned again at the waterfall of Bor's breath. I killed it the same place as my first toon, on that cliff where the broken tower/bridge is. It was kind of eerie to have screens of both my main and alt having the same spot to kill this thing.
Third kill was done by my hunter. I happened to be flying around then NPC spawn went off. I nabbed it so she could have a good mount. That was my first time stumbling upon it when out and about without tracking it. Killed right outside of Bor's breath, close to Valy-whatever thing. Where the plagued protos are.
Fourth was Horde paladin. I didn't want it at that point. I tried getting a friend of a friend the mount but she'd just logged a minute after I saw it spawned. After debating what to do, I decided to kill it on my second paladin because she lacked a good mount as well. I followed it for a while to see where it patted, it was the only kill I noticed that went over the Brun Village of the Blue amazon ladies.
Last kill was on my Alliance DK. Same place as nearly as the third. On his spawn in Bor's Breath I think. At that point it was in my blood to kill and take this mount as a trophy. To show how much RNG favored me. 5 different toons, 5 TLPDs. I was so happy from WOTLK to Cata.
Then came MoP. I realized I had become a huge turd. All the kills after the first were meaning less. However, my spawn point kills and hunting have let me help others. I hope whoever reads this post doesn't take it as cocky, far from it. Learn from me and have the patience to keep at this. You -will- get your mount. Might take days, weeks, or even months. But there will be that time you get that lucky golden dragon as your own.
Good hunting my friends.

4/22/13 @ 2:22pm
realm time on Carine-US. This, after about a month of camping, and an awful amount of Vyragosa sightings. It seemed like it would never end, until the graceful day I tagged n' bagged me
迷时始祖幼龙的缰绳
. My camp experience is as follows..
For a good chunck of my camping, I spent my time at the Ulduar Ravine spawn spot. I was under the impression this spot would yield great results, but on the contrary...Instead I found myself saying "Hello" to Vyragosa every now and then. Not once did the beast show its face to me here, made for a quiet and boring camp! Meanwhile, TLPD was making his appearances over in Bors Breath. -_-
Why must he be so shy? I asked myself. In light of that, and much research, I moved myself over to the Waterfall in Bor's Breath. I felt here that I'd find my chances higher in coming face-to-face with TLPD. With Ulduar Ravine behind me now, I found myself visiting Vyragosa more frequently than not. Then, on
4/20/13 12:38am
realm time, he finally decides to come out to play, and right over me too! I scrambled over to him as he was racing towards the mountain spawn point in Bor's Breath...All the while freaking out (first time seeing him), and rushing to find my
飘雪窖藏啤酒
in my bags. Failing to find it, I aggroed him like a nutcase with my mount and attempted to pull him down. Only, there was another person there pulling him towards their area as well. I bolted over to a ledge he was near, and then the little bugger got tagged and murdered right in front of me! A moment of silence, and sheer sadness soon followed.
From that point on, I vowed to get this damn proto-drake no matter what. Not letting that terrible moment stop me from camping him any further. I didn't think he'd spawn again at Waterfall, so I moved over to mountain spawn point in Bor's Breath. Again, I had my dreaded visits with Vyragosa. Then, on a slow and quiet Monday (2 days after I lost him),
BAM
! My NPC scan pops a minty-fresh TLPD on his merry way from the waterfall to the mountain. In a panic/terror, I race full speed ahead towards him...I thought for sure that someone would have him tagged, but NOPE! In fact, no one was even at waterfall for the time being. Anyhow, like a lunatic I grab his attention with my mount, pull him towards the ice and take him down like nobody's business! The moment becomes bitter-sweet, his dead body with sparkles on it! I loot him, learn the mount and ride off into the sunset -- OKAY, maybe not the sunset, but in glory. ;)

What I've Found Out
:
1.) He fly's much higher than Vyragosa.
2.) He appears to fly more faster than Vyragosa.
3.) He either spawns frequently or in longer periods of time.
4.) His body despawns exactly 30 minutes after he's killed.
5.) There are four main spot points.
6.) He apparently only spawns 3 times per a week (not too sure on this).
Finally, for those camping him, do
NOT
give up on this. Just be patient, and you will get him. Even if you lose it to another player, keep going...Your time will come. To keep yourself from going bonkers, do other things like watch a movie, read a book, surf the web, etc...or rage and unleash your wrath upon Vyragosa when she spawns. Most of all, good luck! :)

Ok, we can all agree that camping is a waste of time. Especially for this guy. His name is the time lost proto drake, probably because campers lose their life to this guy. Here is how I found him, and camping is NEVER the answer.
So, it all started of when I realized that I needed one more mount for 100 mounts. I couldn't think of anymore mounts to get except for the time lost proto drake. So, first, I was camping for him. Then, I would fly around spamming a macro just to target a stupid dead body! After a week, I was pretty pissed, so I used the method I like to call "once in a while". It's where I check the spawn points and if he's not there, oh well, I'll check later. After doing this for five days, here were my results:
6 vyragosas
2 dirkees
1 skoll
After that, I decided to come back one more time and... KAZAM! He was right there by ulduar, so I shot him dead. :)
I got my mount and was flying around and having the time of my life. So, that's what happened to me.

Found him at south-west of Frosthold year ago as I was going to an archaeology site in Burnnhildar Village. Tagged, killed, mount droped, you know the drill. I admit it is a cool and very rare mount, but as a mount collector, I dont really use it anymore (due to all other awesome looking mounts i've collected) except only in Stormpeaks, whenever going to the Ulduar or doing that 1 random daily you get from Argent Tournaments I mount up my TLPD and continue my way through the spawnpoints or routes it would normally take, hoping to fly by players camping it. It always warms my heart to see other players suddenly targeting me and following, just to realise it's another player :).
Good luck hunting him.

Just got it this morning around 9:30 am after I hadn't seen any Vyra spawn during the whole day yesterday.
I had been camping it for months and decided to give it another go.
All I want to say is: Don't give up, it might spawn just in front of your face!
I camped at the Bor's Breath spawn point.
Good luck to all campers out there!

Killed him tonight on Sisters of Elune around 2 a.m. server. I was camping the Bor's Breath spawn point with an afk warrior behind me. NPC Scan went off and I turned in horror to see the already mounted warrior move, but still sat there with an <Away> symbol above his head. I quickly hit the button as he didnt spawn in front of my face and targeted him. I frantically mounted up and looked around. In the distance coming across the river I saw him and dove like mad ( coming from the waterfall area is my guess). I got close enough and saw my arcane shot light up. I dismounted and 1 shotted him as I fell to my death. Quickly got back to my body and looted my prize. 10 other campers quickly showed up as I mounted my TLPD and showed it to every ally standing there ( I was the only horde in the area). Good luck to all who hunt this rare as it is such a great feeling and still feels like a dream.

I got mine just by flying around and doing questes in lvl 78-79, when suddenly it showed up.
a tip from me is to just derp around in the area. time flies much faster than just camping the same area for 100 hours.
**this metod isnt the safest, the drake can easily got pulled Down by another or be on a place where you dont are, but could have camped. if you want to be sure. just camp. but i think this method is alot more fun.
or maybe i was just Lucky ;P

I
once
had a TLPD. Took me months to get him. He was my favorite mount. Then my little son started playing my account. At first he played my toons. Then he made his own toons. Then he started leveling them up.
Annoyed that he was on Wow all the time, and I couldn't play, I decided to get another battle.net account and transfer my two mains to it. The boy already had 15 toons that he was emotionally attached to and proud of so I let him have my old account.
But guess what?
Mounts don't travel between accounts.
When I transferred accounts, the only mount I got was a horse. had to buy a gryphon.
I have to say I love playing Wow with my son. But when I go to meet him in Goldshire, and he rolls in on my TLPD, I gotta say I feel a little twinge in my heart. Lucky dog! He'll never appreciate it the way I do.
Anyway so I'm back hoping to get another TLPD.
Wish me luck, and may the gods smile upon me.

Personally, I think TLPD has been the most emotional thing I've ever put time or effort into in this game ever.
I remember the day I first started as a youngling having had just reached maximum level, 80. That was June 24th in 2010. I flew around as I saw nearly everywhere in the Peaks coated with players of all sorts. and general chat was blasting with fools, asking about the latest spawning news and then usually getting trolled. It was, even still. an amazing experience. I camped every day for a year. and was only brought a disappointment pie rather than victory cake. The first few months all I saw were Time-Lost corpses. :( Then I killed my first Vyragosa at the frozen lake, continued seeing her and every 7th TLPD. In 2011 I quit the game early on. That's a story for later, however. I came back in Mists of Pandaria to see if I could finally get it, but now I realize my chances are even lower thanks to Cross Realm Zoning. It's like back to the beginning again. only more stressful.
All the time, the work I put into it means hardly anything now. If I ever do get it I'm not going to rub it in other peoples faces. I'm going to use it proudly and powerfully, as a sense of truly conquering my challenge.
All in all. Time-Lost may be the roughest thing to get next to Aeonaxx rare wise.
Good luck to all, and may I not be the last one to get it.

After 3 months of searching after the TLPD i finally found him or her don't really know what gender he or her are. I located the TLPD at Bor's Breath and brought him down to the ground. And ofcourse with my mount drop luck i don't even get the mount. When i saw the loot that it dropped i just froze infront off my screen and after a while i shouted: ARE YOU DUCKING SERIOUS!. I became so pissed off at WoW so i did not play it in 2 weeks. >.< Worst moment for me in WoW :(. Oh and i killed him on my Alliance blood dk on Outland in LvL 86. Now i am lvl 90 :)

I lost something once, something so rare it couldn't be replaced.
A Time Lost Proto Drake.
It was late one sunday night, the weather was cold and harsh, the occasional crash of thunder above Brunnhildar village. "Here Skroll, here boy!" i called, i knew my search for a spirit beast was fruitless but the buff on BM kept me going.
I was passing the waterfall, cool wind in my worgen mane, until 'BADUM BADUM DUM' "NPCSCAN!" i called almost falling off my chair. My heart skipped a beat "FINALLY SKOLL! or..." another beat or two skipped as i saw the name npcscan showed. Time Lost Proto drake. I rushed to kill it until suddenly 'CRUNCH' deathgrip on the soldier i screamed as the unworthy level 90 deathknight killed me and took my prize.
Now i know the fatal mistake, of looking for a Time Lost Protodrake.
May my sanity rest in peace.
P.S I found skoll and tamed him but i cannot stop searching for TLPD because i'm so annoyed at the opportunity i missed.
P.P.S I got killed by a panda hunter when i found Vyragosa (over Brunnhildar village for reference) and he stole my prize, #$%^ BLIZZ!

I got the TLPD a few months ago and wanted to post up my notes, but have been busy with camping other rare's. Here are my notes:
After month's of camping i got the TLPD around 11am on the 13th of April 2013 - Brun.
17 Feb 09:15 Vyra @ Uldar
18 Feb 11:42 TLPD! @ Uldar - I was so suprised but did not expected it on day two of camping, but as I arrived unfortunately a druid beat me to the tag :( Needless to say I was pissed and stopped camping for a few weeks with no luck and then...
22 March 07:54 TLPD @ Waterfall - found dead when I logged in :(, if only I had logged in 10 mins earlier! After seeing the TLPD twice and failing to kill, I was on a mission.... and camp up with a camping strategy after doing some research online, see my hints and tips below.
22 March 13:13 Vyr @ Frozen Lake
22 March 18:54 Vyr @ Waterfall
23 March 16:01 Vyr @ Waterfall
23 March 20:51 Vyr @ Frozen Lake
24 March 15:15 Vyr @ Brun
24 March 21:01 Vyr @ Ulduar
25 March 20:29 Vyr @ Waterfall
Nothing for a while.....
1 April 19:47 Vyr @ Brun
2 April 12:29 Vyr @ Brun
4 April 12:03 Vyr @ Waterfall
4 April 20:17 Vyr @ Waterfall
5 April 22:29 Vyr @ Ulduar

9 April 21:51 Vyr @ Ulduar
10 April 21:18 Vyr @ Waterfall
12 April 11:19 Vyr @ Waterfall
and then finally....
12 April 11:03 TLPD @ Brun
I can't remember the weather conditions at the time, I was too excited to notice.
Hints and Tips: If you seriously want the mount the best way to monitor all four spawn points is with trial accounts, but you will need someone to teleport them to Dalaran and a dual mount to take them up there. Once you've dropped your newbies on the spawn points, turn on your NPC scan, put the volume on max and go about the rest of your day. One last thing, it would be hard to cover all four spawn points with your main as you can only park him at one spot. To make sure you beat anyone to the spawn point, you will need to have your toons parked at all four locations. If you are a hard core gamer like me I have 4 level 90's, so what I did was I took my level 90's and parked them at each spawn point and logged out. Once the NPC alarm went off, I checked which spawn point was going off, I then logged in with the corresponding level 90 for the tag and kill. BTW You will need a computer beefy enough to run 4 instances of WoW at the same time.
Good Luck.

Hi guys, here to tell you all about my TLPD experience. First and foremost, thank you to everyone who has posted tips, advice, and just encouraging words. Secondly, I did my camp on a NON CRZ REALM, The Venture Co. (not sure what will happen to this realm and Ravenholdt in 5.4). But hopefully my info will still be helpful to some.

Note to the log
: The Ulduar spawns are definitely a few minutes off (the logs are when I killed her) as I was camping the multi-path between Waterfall/Frozen Lake, so it took them some time to fly down there.
What I did
:
My first 2 days of camping (about 16-20 hrs a day) I camped the Ulduar spawn (flying around about once an hour to check for dead bodies to log), and my last kill on the spawn point was July 21 at 5:13 am. I remained at the Ulduar spawn until about 4 PM. At the point it had been 11 hours, and I was starting to get anxious. I'm not sure if this made me relocate or if it was the very subtle feeling I had in the pit of my stomach. Either way, I flew to the Frozen Lake spawn at about 4 PM. There was someone camping the multi-path (between Frozen Lake and Waterfall spawns), so I decided to take my chances camping directly on the Frozen Lake spawn. BAD MOVE. At 5:53 PM my NPCscan bellowed it's alert and when I maximized my WoW there it had found the Time-Lost Proto Drake. I targeted it with 100% hp . Overwhelmed with worry and a fierce sense of urgency, I began flying south (since it had not spawned on top of me, not came from Ulduar), but before I even came in viewing distance, it had been attacked and remained alive with 12% hp. I did not get there in time, it was tagged and killed by a hunter who had been camping for 2 hours (I had put in 65 hours at the point, and stayed up for 32 straight because of that feeling.) It was heartbreaking, it was crushing, but I congratulated him anyway. Defeated, I took a 3 hour break and smacked a few raid bosses around. It actually did not make me feel any better. But my determination was still in tact, perhaps stronger than ever, and I decided I was not leaving for even a moment until I had it for my own. Since then, I have camped 24 hours a day on the multi-path I had seen the hunter camping. Luckily, I have someone who lives with me that was willing to keep me logged in while I was sleeping (I caught about 5-6 hrs a day until today.) There is a little more to it, but I will put that in the below sections.
Observations
:
As much as I know that all of us (myself included) would love to believe there is some sort of pattern, I believe everything is absolutely random. It hurts, it's discouraging, but accept it.
This is NOT a camp for the weak willed, or the impatient.
I have personally found that both Vyra and TLPD fly at about the same altitude. I have also never had trouble catching up to either with only 280% mount speed.
Until July 25 I had not seen a spawn in LESS than 5 hours. It ranged from 5 hours to 12. After killing Vyra at 6:28 PM I decided to give the 'killing northrend rares to force a shorter spawn method', so I went to Icecrown, Zul'drak, Dragonblight, Borean Tundra and all in all killed about 4 rares. I gave myself only 45 minutes because (I believe) this is the shortest reported respawn time. I do not know if it was killing the rares, or just luck, but the next spawn came in only 4 hours and 30 minutes (and coincidentally was my Time-Lost.) Try it, read up on it, it could really work.

If you are on a high population realm, or one with lots of CRZ there is no other option for you but to camp a spawn point. Doing otherwise would be foolish. However, if there are not many others out there with you (I think the most I saw was about 6), you are probably safe camping a multi-path, but do be very aware of where the other campers are.
Stacking is stupid and hurts your chances. (Also: a BIG $%^& YOU to the paladin who stacked on me. If this $%^&er wasnt stacked on me when he logged in, he would move to EXACTLY where I was, even if he had only been 5 ft away.)
Know the spawn points, routes traveled, AND direction they travel it! Finding as many facts as you can get when you first start your camp is incredibly helpful. You will eventually feel like you know whats going on (if only to an extent).
I suggest camping this !@#$% HARD CORE (as close to 24/7 as possible). Most of the people who have spent 2,3,4 years getting this have been camping 'on and off'. Don't be surprised if this won't cut it, because there will always be people like me who are fortunate enough to have an opportunity, will, and patience to camp it 24/7.
Enable your sound in background (for NPCscan) for !@#$'s sake! I have no sympathy for those of you who tab out, then tab in and see a dead TLPD.
If you can get anyone at all to help you (or even have access to someone's account), do so! Be strategic with where you place yourself and your friends.
Things you NEED to remember
:
Be aware of how bad you want it. You WILL need somewhere to draw the strength from.
Stay positive! If you come into this doubtful, you might as well have stayed in Pandaria. Even when that hunter who had only been camping for 2 hours snagged the first TLPD, I had to step back and collect myself and NOT let it stop me.
Be patient! Again, after I saw the first TLPD die to the hands of another player, I kept referring back to WoWhead, reading all these comments that say 'You will get it! Your time will come! Be patient and it will happen for you!' This is all true, bless you all who left those comments.
You may go insane, fall asleep with your face on the computer desk/keyboard, and wish terrible things upon other campers.
Surround yourself with things/activities/people you love.
Last but not least, think of how wonderful the moment you find, kill, and mount him will be!
Thanks to all who posted before me. I made a WoWhead account for the sole purpose of this comment and trying to give back to this great community.
Shout out
to the one who kept me logged in while I slept and to my awesome guild leader who camped this with me whenever he could, the time you spent with me gave me immense piece of mind (and good times). I'll think of you every time I mount my Time-Lost Proto Drake!
GRATS in advance, on YOUR Time-Lost Proto Drake! <3

Like someone said before, it's only "Time-Lost" if you end without him.
I started to seek this guy just after the release of the Cataclysm expansion, but I confess that I had never dedicated as the last two months.
In this recent period (involving dinners for weeks in front of the computer, bathing extremely fast - God bless my sweet wife! - And work breaks with eyes blinded by the snow of
The Storm Peaks
), I had the time to test various speculations of previous topics and draw my own conclusions.
Today my macro hit the target, almost causing me a stroke and making my eyes jump out of my face when they spotted the archaic golden dragon!
I was camping him with my back to Bor`s Breath, facing Valkyrion (
coordinates 29.0 . 65.6.
) I swear I wore the number keys on my keyboard, spamming my macros like crazy.
The macro signaled the TLPD on my back, and when I turned, there he was, silent flying in my direction.
I flew as fast as I could, hitting ground, and used my
Heroic Throw
, to make the beast approaches. My heart wanted to jump out of the chest, when suddenly, I noticed that someone swore and curse, blurring the epicness of the moment: was a priest, who claimed the death to her. I was petrified, my head screening flashes of the loooong wait freezing my long dwarven beard, the negative answers I gave to friends willing to do something more exciting than "wait for a rare" and that, at the last moment, I could have blown it... But the kill was mine. Scared, I tried to justify myself by saying that my ability had hit first the TLPD (and it was, because I was the one that killed him), but only rage and anger came towards me. She, as a max level caster, could have lured the dragon much faster than me, a warrior! I remained static, feeling a mix of excitement and frustration, for finally reaching the fabulous deed and being obliged to pass thru that situation.
And then, this hunter appeared, "You having a fine evening, I suppose", that's what he said, cheering and congratulating me, spamming nice emotes and asking questions about how long I was out there and what's the drop of it. So, the priest stopped, noticing that her insults would never bring the TLPD back to life. She left, leaving me, the hunter and the huge golden body of the dead beast behind.

Some "technical" info that I gathered:
- Besides the wonderful
_NPCScan
addon, I also carried in my old backpack this amazing tool:
(Target-Macro)
/tar Dirkee
/tar Vyra
/tar Time
/stopmacro
/tell YOURNAMEHERE > %t <
This macro was key and decisive part in the capture of the prize. Highly recommended!
- The fight was brief (since at that time, my skills hit him as someone from lvl 85 on heroic dungeons gear), but as I was about 20 yards, I used my Heroic Throw, which gave something like 2 seconds for the sassy proto-drake to use his
Time-Shift
ability, which transported him from my sight only to die by my side, a sort of
blink
effect.
-
Time-Forward Talisman
,
Reins of the Time-Lost Proto-Drake
and
Abandoned Adventurer's Satchel
popped from TLPD loot.
- Highlighting the information on both dragons sharing the same spawn time: I killed Vyra 2 times from yesterday 'till today and I've been killing her about 10 times during all the time I spent hunting on these two months, and I found her dead 4 times from other players. Even after my TLPD kill, I asked the hunter and some other campers if
Vyragosa
was up during the same time
Time-Lost Proto-Drake
was. None of them mentioned seeing Vyra flying Storm Peaks for the same period of time marked by me during the last moments of my hunt (about 7 hours from a death to another). And yet, of all who were camping in that period, they confirmed the sighting of Vyra's death in the same place where I had seen. Then we saw
the same
Vyragosa. Thus, I assume that there are
GREAT CHANCES
TLPD share spawn time with Vyra.
- All Vyra kills happened from the "half" of the map 'till the northern part of it (from Engine of The Makers to Ulduar), but I killed TLPD among harpies on Bor's Breath.
- When you kill Vyragosa, her dead body
will disappear in approximately 30 minutes
; Okay. But it simply doesn't mean she or TLPD will spawn just after that time. I killed her, I let her body vanish and got to wait more than seven hours to see her again;
-
Dirkee
has nothing to do with the other rare in the region. It may sound strange, but I never killed or found his dead body during my last two months of hunting (yes, I very rarely flew at the eastern end of the Storm Peaks);
- For the first month, I camped all the route, but with time, I sort of reduced my exploration, starting at Valkyrion, moving through Bor's Breath, flying south by the waterfall, tracing the southern edge of Brunnhildar Village, turning north again and heading to the Blue Drakes of the Engine of The Makers. I did that considering previous comments relating the "south" more like to spawn the TLPD. I concluded it myself, reading the stories of others like me. The funny stuff is that I escaped this selected route for like, 5 times from yesterday until today, and that times I killed Vyra twice at north!
- I tried to contact a GM, asking him if the spawn time of TLPD was the same from WoTLK expansion and yes, he was evasive and inaccurate, recommending that I look for info on what he called "third parts vehicles", just like our precious WoW Head.
Well, that's how it came to me, folks.
I sincerely hope you can conquer your TLPD as soon as possible. It really is one of the most special mounts of the entire game. Totally worthy of your time and dedication.
Fingers crossed, keep your eyes, addons and macros always sharp.
When you're out there, deafened by the sound of thunder and incessant wind, try to notice the footsteps of those who attempted the same feat before you, and that you very soon will conquer! Don't give up!

Not much competition, at times i'd see someone checking a spot, sometimes claiming the usual 'their friend just killed tlpd' and such, then moving on.
I used 4 accounts to cover all spots, and got all vyra spawns since the 23rd. There might have been a vyra/tlpd spawn between 1 and 2, but had to sleep :)
My spawn data up to my own time-lost find:
1. 22-9 2013 23.30 Vyragosa - Bor's Breath
2. 23-9 2013 19.06 Vyragosa - Bor's Breath
3. 24-9 2013 00.18 Vyragosa - Brunnhildar
4. 24-9 2013 08.10 Vyragosa - Brunnhildar
5. 24-9 2013 14.43 Vyragosa - Waterfall
6. 24-9 2013 19.09 Vyragosa - Ulduar Ravine
7. 25-9 2013 00.33 Vyragosa - Brunnhildar
8. 25-9 2013 10.31 Vyragosa - Waterfall
9. 25-9 2013 16.10 Vyragosa - Bor's Breath
10. 25-9 2013 21.30 Vyragosa - Brunnhildar
11. 26-9 2013 04.55 Vyragosa - Bor's Breath
12. 26-9 2013 12.31 Vyragosa - Ulduar Ravine
13. 26-9 2013 20.20 Vyragosa - Brunnhildar
14. 27-9 2013 03.35 Vyragosa - Bor's Breath
15. 27-9 2013 08.21 Vyragosa - Ulduar Ravine
16. 27-9 2013 15.56 Vyragosa - Brunnhildar
17. 27-9 2013 21.36 Vyragosa - Waterfall
and finally:
18. 28-9 2013 03.30 Time-lost Proto Drake at Ulduar Ravine.
Now someone mentioned an interesting theory, that has actually worked for them, and myself.
After wednesdays server maintenance (no reset) the earliest convenience a Time-lost spawns is the next friday, after 10pm. Not sure if it's 100% true, and we have to accept the fact it's completely randomized, but i've been there non-stop since the 23rd and not seen one spawn, until after that time.
Very happy! thank you all for posting encouraging comments, your experiences and the tlpdresource (notsorare.com) link.
For those that haven't found the elusive fella yet, Do not give up! He's there for you! Good luck!

Today is the day that I quitted using flight paths.
Reason? I flew past a time-lost proto drake, and the first thing I did was to look where he was flying, typed /who and constantly refreshed. Didn't find him even though noone was in the area, and to top it of my WoW crashed after about 10 minutes, and I was actually playing on my last minutes of Gametime.
Incredible luck I must say :)

My
Time-Lost Proto-Drake
story is a little on the unusual side... I started camping the TLPD with great enthusiasm, but after weeks, that faded. My total camp time was 6 weeks, with 18+ hour days of total devotion, keeping a log of Vyragosa and TLPD sightings in my special
"mount hunting/rare NPC"
notebook. After a few weeks of having not seen him, I ran into a pattern. Every time I would log out for whatever reason, to check alts and whatnot, I would log back in usually bout 3-5 minutes later, and find the TLPD dead right next to my camp spot. This happened
several
times. This drove me insane. There were so many nights that literally ended in tears over this rare, and I got discouraged quickly. But
finally
, I logged back in after a server restart and patrolled for about 2 hours when my NPC scan went off. I quickly assumed that I had found yet another TLPD corpse, but was in total shock when I found that it was in fact, a
living Time-Lost Proto-Drke
, and then again when I realized no one else was around. I quickly flew toward where I guessed I would find him, the path between
frozen lake
and
the waterfall
, and there he was! I was shaking pretty hard but did my best to fight him & take him down. When the fight was over, I was still in a great deal of shock and having an all out panic attack... I then went to loot the corpse and realized...
the TLPD corpse was unlootable
... I cried for a good few hours, but made sure to document what happened, with screenshots and the like. So I figured the next logical step would be to open a ticket with Blizzard and explain what happened, as well as post in the forums on battle.net, out of pure desperation and a sliver of hope that someone would be able to help me. So after doing everything I could to help my situation, all there was left to do was wait... and wait I did, for over 24 hours. It was the absolute longest day of my entire life. So after almost a day and a half, I came home and was in utter despair.. until I checked my ticket status. Someone from the wonderful staff of Blizzard had answered me. And i could not believe what I was reading. They had looked through all my information, verified that I had killed and NOT looted the Time-Lost Proto-Drake, and informed me to check my in-game mail where I would find the Reins of the Time-Lost Proto-Drake! I was in total disbelief, and still kindof am, but I feel so lucky for what has happened. I hope that anyone else that is devoted to finding the TLPD never has to go through the kind of stress that I endured. However, if you do end up having a problem, be sure to ask for help because there is always a chance you could be as lucky as I was. So that's my story of hunting this elusive beast. I wish you all the best of luck in farming the Time-Lost Proto-Drake! It will happen for you eventually, so don't give up. It is totally worth the time <3

Anyone else hear of the Time-Lost Proto Drake when they were a simple noob, and thought, "this rare will be easy to find, and I'll get a free mount, all in a days work!" Years later and a few expansions have gone by without me bagging this beauty, how wrong I was...

After years of off and on camping I decided "now is the time..." for three weeks I sat myself on the lakeside spawn point facing the mountain, waiting.. just waiting for the TLPD to pop out. Time after time, vyragosa reared it's big ugly head and I furiously turned it into leather. Finally last night at 3:30 AM on windrunner, I heard my npc-scan horn blare loudly through my house. I threw off my xbox headphones, my girlfriend yelling in confusion at the other end of them, jumped over my couch and dove into my computer chair shaking out of a mix of fear and excitement, hoping that the goblin that decided to stack on me hadnt hit it first. I guess he logged out because there I was alone, falling through the sky after smacking TLPD nice and hard right in the back, taking all but the last 10k of my health in damage and looting my lovely new mount. All the time and waiting has been worth it. Finally I have one of my most sought after mounts. Dont give up! And if you ever find a weekend, week, whatever time you can to stay on for a LONG period of time, do it. This is undoubtedly the best chance you have at snagging it. Good luck campers! :)

So I have been camping Time Lost for 9-10 days now and it finally spawned. It had spawned 6 hours earlier but phased out one camper told me. I submitted a bug report and continued to keep myself logged in. I was heading over to that same area but started up a conversation with someone in General trade chat. We was talking about our experiences with this rare and finished with a good bye. I got back on my quest to obtain this mount, heading there a horde was flying in front of me on Time Lost now I know it was to rub it in my face. Sure enough my NPC scan screams at me as I see it dead. Thanks for fixing the bug Blizzard Tech and your welcome horde guy. Now I know why it's called Time Lost but I did make a new friend. Will I camp this again probably not.

In case anyone cares: I spent about 2 months and 28 days camping for my TLPD. I saw Vyragosa about 23 times and the TLPD 5 times. Most of the spawns were within about 3 to 8 hours each other, the majority being closer to 6 (Although there were some which spawned about 24 hours after the last kill, but there were only 2 of those.) and comming from Bor´s Breath or Ulduar (I was camping all the spawns from time to time.). Also of note after I managed to get my proto-drake I found him up again the next day.
(Also if you want to leave and do some daily quest or something else really fast and then come back DON´T, out of the 3 times I lost the TLPD 2 were because I went to go do a few dailies for 10 minutes.)

If you want to know the very best info on camping this beast you can look to
http://notsorare.com/
This guy is a pro at catching the TLPD. He has around 25 verified captures. After using his method I have caught it 6 times myself. Its just a shame that mounts are now shared across accounts because this just belittles my achievements.

I am going to post this again. If you are serious about capturing one of these you need to check out Ponderance's website . It is
http://notsorare.com/
. This guy is probably the foremost expert on all things TLPD. He has 25 verified captures and has spent probably near 1000 hours in the Storm Peak area. I have captured the TLPD 6 times myself after following his advice. There is a lot of info on hi site so make sure to look at everything. There are links to the knowledge base on the front page. He also has three of the only videos of the TLPD and Vyragosa actually spawning that I have been able to locate. He is also very knowledgeable about capturing Aeonaxx. I am not in any way trying to come off sounding elitist. I just really want to help anyone that I can capture this mount. Yesterday I was in the Peaks looking for the Unborn Val'kyr and flew over the TLPD at 29.00 \ 50.00. I followed him for around 4 minutes before a human mage flew in and downed him. I really wish that they would make the mount BOE. My favorite spot to camp for him is on the ledge at 30.46 \ 67.04. I have been camping there 4 times when Vyragosa has spawned right next to me. That would be the third time I would have been able to sell it. Well good luck to everyone who is hunting this mount.

Just tagged TLPD west of Bru (Coordinates of 56,60 around 9PM server time)...I was camping in the "eagle's nest" and heard NPCscan go off and got her.
One thing that may be helpful to others of which I was unaware (perhaps this is common knowledge but my other guildies didn't know either...):
I was freaking out because the nest is on very steep, non-walkable ground. I.e., I wasn't sure how long I should let her keep flying so I could kill her on solid ground. I used Icy Touch and she fell onto the steep mountain...and I couldn't loot. I was told you could submit a ticket to Battle.net, but a guildie hopped over on a two-person mount (Sandstone Drake) and voila - lootable. Anyway, it saved me a lot of heartache by looting immediately and, for those still camping, you don't have to worry about her being on the side of a mountain - take her out immediately and just ask a buddy with a two-person mount to come help you out.
Good luck camping!

The TLPD spawned at brunn village while I was camping with three others in a group. We had all the spawns covered to ensure that one of us would get the mount when it spawned.
When it spawned, I quickly killed it and alerted the group and general chat of it's demise and helped the others camp.
It actually spawned again around 3-6 hours (I wasn't keeping track) after mine did so it spawned twice in a row. One of my other group members killed and looted it.
This mount is one of if not the coolest and rarest mount IMO and it gives me shivers every time I mount it and take it on a flight through northrend.
Good luck to everyone else on their camping, and remember, NEVER give up!

Caught my Time-lost Proto drake just the other day, only on my fifth day of on off camping, I recorded the Vyragosa death, and returned 6 hours afterwards only to be left waiting an additional 6 (from 5:45am) onward until 11:55am almost certain nothing was going to spawn but in reality, something had to spawn i had been there from the 6 hour mark onward, so i waited and flew around, and waited.
Linked the "Reins of the time-lost proto drake" from wowhead to make other campers sad and leave.
I kid, no one was on at 6A freaking M...
And there it was, it had spawned at the ulduar spawn point. so beautiful.
I managed to agro and pull it over back to the cliff side where it spawned, killed it and looted it. Before i could even learn the reins my internet cut out for the next 13 hours.
Yeah soooo...
that was a bit lucky.

After camping for this mount on and off since WotLK, I was amazed to finally get lucky and have it spawn right in front of me today after about 30 min. One of my guildies had just been there before me and logged a few minutes after I arrived.
Spawned @ 10:40am pst on Arathor, at Bruunhildar Village Spawn point 51.70.
Dropped, Satchel (had gold and cloth in it) and Time-Forward Talisman of the Bandit

Today I saw the TLPD while on a flightpath, yet because of the Cross-realm areas it turned out that he had jumped from my server to another, or i had. My hopes skyrocketed, my heart skipped a beat and it was the first time I'd ever seen him in person before. I was pretty let-down.

I just netted the drake about 13 minutes ago, approximately 1:37 AM Mountain Daylight Time. As other have suggested
www.notsorare.com
is a very valuable resource for acquiring this mount.
I spent approximately 3.5 days camping the TLPD. I spent nearly all of my time at the Frozen Lake spawn point, though I occasionally would make a single round on Brunhildar during off hours, in case it or Vyragosa had spawned there.
As a piece of advice for those of you who are on PVP servers (I acquired mine on one) a Rogue using stealth works wonders for camping. While most campers will fly a certain distance from spawn to prevent ganking, I was able to sit on the spawn for hours on end without anyone being the wiser. I even spent about 25 minutes with a PVP geared Blood DK flying around frozen lake near me, but he never figured out I was there.
Above all, I can recommend only one thing. Patience. Do not camp the drake just to camp the drake. Have other things to do while you're doing it. It really makes a difference.
As a final note, a guildie told me last night to "give up on the ghost". Had I listened, I wouldn't have gotten this long sought after mount.

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.

Ok guys time for a newer thread on the matter. Most of the comments are now 4 years old. Please upvote this so we can have a good thread from end of Pandaria times.
Like most of you guys I've been trying to get my hands on this fine piece of rare mount since it came out in WOTLK times. At first it was unclear what the spawn timer was or people were using scripts to check if it had dropped since the last reset. Well none of these actually works so it basically comes to down to luck and being on the right spot at the right time. Even today Storm Peaks is a heavily populated zone but don't let this discourage you. I got my
Time-Lost
at 8:00 PM on one of the most heavily populated realms - Silvermoon EU. So i will laid out some facts that have already been mentioned here + screenshots and a video.
Facts -
1. Time-Lost Proto Drake is the rare spawn of another rare called
Vyragosa
. This means that when the time comes for Vyragosa to spawn, the dices are rolled and there is a ~10-20% chance that the Time Lost Proto Drake will spawn instead of her.
2. They both share the same spawn points and the same path. Everyone can see it with Addons like
NPCScan
and
SilverDragon
.
3. Spawn timer is between 8 and 12 hours. There has been info for 6 hours but i wouldn't rely on that.
4. 95% of the Time Lost Proto Drake kills have happened in this area -
here
including mine and the 3 other times I've seen his corpse.
Here is a video of my kill which shows exactly where to expect the time lost. Also you can see on the video that you should keep your eyes opened as my rare scanning addons were actually slower than my reaction.
Here
5. Best spot to camp from what I've observed so far is this -
6. Regular visits VS camping. Obviously camping increases your % of being at the right spot when he spawns but the burden of spending 9 hours and nothing happening can be overwhelming. And you might need dozens of sessions like this before you actually stumble upon a Time-Lost. Regular visits to the spot on the other hand is a lot less time consuming and has a more stress-less impact on one hunting the drake. The downfall of this method is that your mindset should be dedicated on the possibility that you might not have the drake soon but remember one of the most important rules of WoW Collecting - Not going = 0 % drop , going = eventually you will have it.

After 2 years of camping on and off, about 300+ hours of camping I finally got it. What we bad-luck campers lack in luck, we earn on effort. Never give up guys, totally worth it when you first get it.
Fun-fact. After getting TL, I was shocked. And didnt know what to do. So went and camped for aeonaxx just for fun, and he spawned after the 4 first hours of camping in total. Aka. It was a good day. Even better that I got Azure drake the day after that completed my "Mountains o mounts" achieve!

So after a year or so of camping this mount at random intervals I finally decided to buckle down and just stay in Stormpeaks until this thing was mine. After seven days of 10-12 hours of camping I have gained (imho) one of the best mounts in this game. Here is some information I collected while camping. I only put down kills that I could personally verify. Best of luck to all of you campers! It is well worth the "Time-Lost."
2042 Server Time 1/29/2014 Vyragosa Slain Ulduar
0445 Server Time 2/05/2014 Vyragosa Slain Village
1228 Server Time 2/05/2014 Vyragosa Slain Waterfall
0913 Server Time 2/06/2014 Vyragosa Slain Frozen Lake
1340 Server Time 2/06/2014 Vyragosa Slain Ulduar
1745 Server Time 2/06/2014 TLPD Slain Waterfall

Seen this dude getting killed at least 10 times during my WoW career until I decided to camp it. Fairly easy:
- Camp the intersection where 2 patrol routes overlap
- Removed
- get NPCscan
- plug in your earphones and make them loud as hell
- put them near your bed
- go to sleep.
2 weeks and I woke up to a TLPD ;)(##RESPBREAK##)16##DELIM##Sas148##DELIM##The discussion of such programs is against the Wowhead rules. Anything that is against Blizzards ToS/EULA cannot be discussed here.

The time where u are doing your WOTLK dailies and to fly over storm peaks cos its the fastest way back, then when u just flew by frozen lake saw guy there camping drake, your npcscan began yelling in your ears a few secs after u flew by. You see its time-lost and hurry to fly back and kill it just infront of guy there had camped it but were to slow to get into game and kill it.

I finally got MY OWN TLPD tonight after years of tedious camping, PVP defending and never even seeing him not even a corpse. He spawned right on my head at Brunnhildar 51.24 , 71.13.
I sincerely wish everyone the best at getting their's. He waited for a good 15 seconds before he flew towards the engine of the makers. I was screwing around with my windows themes and wasn't able to click on him when I saw him, but once he started flying I had a hard time keeping up. Anyway thank you all for your advice and if you're on Lethon msg me on here if you want company I'll help within reason.
Good luck everyone. :-)

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!)
Good luck and have fun!

been after this mount since the beginning, at first days and months then gave up kind of. when i was farming the argent torny for mounts i always came into storm peaks to look for her luck as it was for me i checked for mount as i always do i was downloading addons for wow and my npc alert came up when i was parked by the cave at frosthold at 27,72 at 2.36 pm with this mount i consider myself so lucky i do believe it spawned from the terrace of the makers looking at the spawn points previously stated by a previous user
good luck to anyone still hunting this mount

I've never been camping the spawnspots, due to lack of patience, but sometimes - every couple days/weeks - tracked his route whenever I remebered to do so.
Five minutes ago on Das Syndikat (EU) NPC_scan gave the alarm and instead of the (expected) corpse I saw the TLPD flying around happily right at Ulduar.
Guess I've been awfully lucky.
So, good luck to all of those who still have to catch him

You know: If you look this mount up on the official WoW site, it says that is also has a guaranteed drop from a Dragonmaw Proto Drake in Durotar. But for so far as I have seen, there are no more proto drakes in Durotar after patch 5.3. Its a shame, but on the other side, it would not have been a challenge anymore to obtain this mount if you could get it from a random dragonmaw proto drake in Durotar, so maybe it is a good thing they are not there anymore, and that you can only get it from the Time-Lost Proto Drake.

My plan was to get Time Lost Proto Drake or Invincible to be my 200th mount, whichever came first.. and Luckily, after weeks of on and off camping... He spawned while I was vacation! Gonna get a good nights rest tonight ;). This mount is not for the impatient.

I only just made my wowhead account so I thought I would share what little I know about TLPD in case it can be of help to anyone. My kill/loot was about two years ago so I only have the time of my screenshot to go off...it may not be entirely accurate and I apologise for that.
I was extremely lucky. After about a month of researching this baby I decided to go and camp him, mentally I was prepared for what could be years of waiting, false alarms and disappointing near misses. I ported to Dalaran and flew over to The Storm Peaks and landed near Bor's Breath. I had literally
just
settled my draenei ass into the snow when my scanners went off and I was after him. After hitting levitate between dots and taking damage, we both hit the ground near Rohemdal Pass, he was dead and I was at full health...in the game. In real life my hands were shaking and I could barely manage to loot him.
Date:
03/06/2012
Time of screenshot:
4:39 pm EST
Place where I killed it:
28.67
Where I was camping:
30.65
Path & direction:
Going south towards Frosthold, looked like he would fly counter-clock wise around Frosthold.
Possible location of spawn point:
37.77 or 31.66
Map of camp spot & Kill:
http://www.wowhead.com/maps?data=67:283679308660
Notes:
I do not know where he spawned. He was flying 'down' Bor's Breath and he was not particularly high up. The kill was really easy as a level 84 shadow priest and even though I had the
飘雪窖藏啤酒
, I ended up using levitate (mainly because I forgot all about the Lager until after I had made the kill). No Vyragosa sightings as I only had to camp him for about three seconds. He was flying pretty slow and so when I flew over to tag him it was easy to catch up with him. I think it's best to choose a spot, park yourself and wait for him to come to you. My friend has missed him twice because of following a flight path.
What few things I can
confirm
about the TLPD from my experience:
- He was flying around Bor's Breath the was heading south to Frosthold when I saw him and ended up killing him.
- He has about 18k HP, now with everyone level 90 the kill should be a breeze; just remember to have all pets and minions on passive. If they kill him without you doing any damage to the mob, you will not be able to loot him.
- Easy to spot, he's a big guy.
If only I had the same kind of luck with Aeonaxx. Months in and still
no
sign of him.
Best of luck to you all.

If you happen to kill it in the air and the corpse can't be looted even with aoe loot, fear not! You can ask a friend with a two-seat mount like
时沙之瓶
or

to help you loot it. If you don't have anyone that can help you at the moment, I suggest writing a ticket to a GM, those guys are always helpful! Good luck!

Finally got mine at 3:31 a.m. on Mal'Ganis. It freaked me out because I was just flying around on my level 89 mage waiting for her queue to pop for an instance run. I parked her at the Brunnhildar Village spawn and went and did an incredibly fast run - like 8 minutes (had a 90 DK LOL). Well, pop back to village, and instantly npcscan goes off and I turn my mount around and there is the TLPD spawning right on the side of the cliff above the village. I froze a second not believing my eyes - so many Vyragosa spawns tends to jade the thinking. I even though well, it's probably just the body. But it WASN'T! It was alive and flying right at me! I flew to it, launched an icebolt and managed to hit slowfall spell so mage wouldn't die; hit the drake with an arcane barrage and 2 seconds later the body dropped right next to my still alive mage. I was doing mental cartwheels. I shouted to everyone in general area about the kill and everyone came swooping in to confirm - even had a few /hate emotes lol. Then of course I had to go brag in Trade channel. It's not the prettiest mount out there, but since I've camped for it on and off since wotlk came out, it's the most beautiful mount I've ever seen now that it's in my stables.
Just camp one spot and stay there. That's what I did and never regretted it. I did the same thing on hunter for Loque. and oddly, his spawn was just as unexpected as the TLPD. I was preparing to settle in to camp but wasn't actually in 'camp' mode yet.
Be patient - it will come to you. You may have to see Vyragosa a few dozen times, but you WILL get the drake. If I could -and I can verify I have the worst luck normally- you can!

I just got my time-lost proto-drake. I used both NPC scan and silverdragon (it was beneficial and ill explain why).
I started my search on 1/24 and as soon as I hit Storm Peaks Vyragosa was up. I killed her, she came over the village right by bor's breath falls (to the east). That was at 6:57p st.
Next I seen Vyragosa killed by a horde outside of K3 at 1220a.
I got up at 4:00a, I killed Vyragosa about five minutes later on snowdrift planes, to the far east, she was flying north toward Ulduar (just west of the crashsite).
I got back on at 8:00st, waited until 11. Time-Lost came flying in from the west toward the waterfall. NPC scan went crazy, silver dragon put a skull over his head. I tagged him mid air (i'm a shadow priest) with shadow-word: pain. He died, I floated to the ground.
I mounted back up but couldn't find him anywhere. Silver dragon marked him and showed me on the mini where he was but I couldn't find him anyway. It took a weird angle of the camera to see he landed inside of the waterfall D: I couldn't reach to loot him either. One of my guildies suggested kiting a mob toward him and using the AoE loot. It worked like a charm.
If I were to do it again, I'd still use both addons, and I'd probably not tag him over the waterfall lol

Killed TLPD today on Kilrogg at appx. 5am PST. He was pathing west through Bor's Breath, and there were actually other people flying along side him and doing nothing. I cannot grasp what they were possibly doing just flying near him and staring. If it was me I woulda tagged him and taken the fall death.
Anyway, flew up to him, nuked him with a Moonfire, popped a
Snowfall Lager
to slow my descent, and that was that. All mine after years of searching, despite CRZ.
Good luck to all.

So...
This a good map:
http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/3272/vyragosa4yn3.jpg
Half of pictures on this page are gone, links on tinypic goes nowhere.
This is good info
What we feel is true:
1. Time-Lost Proto-drake and Vyragosa share a spawn timer.
2. Time-Lost Proto-drake and Vyragosa share patrol routes.
3. Time-Lost Proto-drake and Vyragosa share spawn points.
This is a good macro:
/target time
/target Vyragosa
/target dirkee
/stopmacro
/run RaidNotice_AddMessage(RaidBossEmoteFrame,"There it is!", ChatTypeInfo)
Remember, Blizz changed the way the NPCs are cached, so no more NPC Scan; it works, BUT you must hover the NPC to trigger the alert
Remember, Vyra and TLPD go Counter-Clockwise and Clockwise.
Remember, With 6.0 you can EASILY hop to another server and try luck there.
Remember, Lots of ppl go to Ulduar for the Mimiron Head, they can encounter it; we have less campers, but more traffic.
My Experience:
Encountered him twice, dead both times.
Once, on South Valkyrion. Near Bor's Breath (I think there's an spawn point there).
Second time. On a rooftop on The Inventor's Library.
What we need?
New Screenshots.
Altitudes
Spawn Points
Is the phasing issues still ocurring?
If anyone feels I missed something, please leave the info below.
Thanks!.. and Good Hunting!

Got my

kill a little while back, and in the process I gathered some information which I would like to share with all of those who are interested in getting it, but who are also a little unsure about the whole thing!

The video contains all the information I gathered over my hours of camping, and tricks and tips I used to get my kill. But if you just want to watch a kill of

that is also included!
NPC Scan no longer works for pre MoP rares, so use this macro in it's replacement. Unfortunately it's something you're going to have to
spam
as a looping function is against
Blizzard's rules and regulations
.
/target Time-Lost
/target Vyra

/run if UnitName("Target") then PlaySoundKitID(9378); print(date(), UnitName("Target"), "Found"); SetRaidTarget("target",8); end
HAPPY HUNTING!
GOOD LUCK!

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!

YAYAY I shaman Khaleesi- Black Dragonblight FINALLY killed the Time-lost Proto-Drake with a overkill of (79914) after about 15 days of non-stop camping. The information is only provided to help anyone that is interested..
Realm: Black Dragon-blight
Date: 12:40pm local CDT but realm 1:40pm 7/21/15 ( Tuesday after reset )
Spawn Point: Bor's Breath 31;69/ Dead body/killed at 28;65 due to me flying
Addons: NPC_scan & SilverDragon ( also used a macro; listed below )
/target Time-Lost
/target Vyra
/focus
/run if UnitName("Target") then PlaySoundKitID(9378); print(date(), UnitName("Target"), "Found"); SetRaidTarget("target",8); end
So as for my own personal experience and advise this is how my journey for the proto drake that really is a bunch of lost time.
I decided to start farming for this mount when i got my void-talon mount after camping a good 5 or 6 days; I became addicted to to mount/rare camping more than ever. So i figured i start my hunt for the well known TLPD. I was very luck enough to have a good friend help me camp spots and get rid of horde trying to troll me. I literally camped in one spawn spot 35:76 for about 15 days straight ( my hunter friend camped just on the other side of the mountain at 31:69 ) . I did NOT move and i did NOT let my character log. I also kept the mouse over spawn point for NPC scanner with volume on high. I would kill any horde that tried to take my spot! ( I HOPE YOU READ THIS UNDEAD ROGUE/PRIEST pillarhumpar)... SO ANYWAYS my hunter friend said he had to afk a bit and i decided oh i should check up on him.. then as im spamming my macro BAM it picks up TLPD from across the mountain. I flew as fast as i could with my heart racing not believe that his icon was still 100% health..as im flying over my buddies AFK head i see a horde flying in the distance towards my beloved TLPD. THEN FLAME SHOCK TO THE FACE! I was 50% sure as a resto shaman id kill it in one shot. But at last the wow gods granted me the rare of TLPD. Of course I fall to my death but i have reincarnation to help with that. Looted and mounted..
Last thoughts are- Stay in one spawn spot, Half screen your computer/ duel- screen, DO NOT stack on other people, spam macro as much as you can and watch every episode of Game Of Thrones all over again.... This mount is all about luck and patients. Your going to waste a lot of time camping for this one. But is it really time lost when it comes to playing wow :3 ?

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.

Just got super lucky on this! I was looking for northrend Spirit Beasts and was updating my pet targetting macro and just for giggles, I added Time-Lost Proto-Drake to the list.
I got a tip on cross-realm grouping from another friendly hunter to help look for rare spawns. Look for custom premades with auto-join enabled and hop around! Do this! Do it now!
In around a half hour I tamed Loque'nahak and Arcturis, and zoned in underneath the TLPD! My macro popped immediately. I just pathed him a little bit until he aggroed on me and I slowly flew down to a safe landing and one-shot him for the mount.

Got this a while on a routine visit to Ulduar. Saw it to the left of Temple of Storms. It was flying up pretty high, so be sure to bring something to negate your fall damage should you camp this (I used a goblin glider kit)

Just managed to get this after 4 years of on and off camping! Firstly Void-Talon, then Aeonaxx, then Camel-Hoarder, now Time-Lost! Just Poseidus left! :D
Managed to snatch it at 31/01/2016 12:37:50 on Pozzo'Dell Eternitá.
Before this I have probably missed around 8 Time-Lost Proto Drakes (Right infront of me, NEVER go AFK unless you really need too) And around 20+ Vyragosa's.
I used this macro from SerroDan: (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuKsABG1FlQ
) Just spam this macro and it will target, set focus and mark Time-Lost Proto Drake/Vyragosa with a skull and stamp in chat with date/time.
/target Vyra
/target Time-Los
/focus
/run if UnitName("Target") then PlaySoundFile(], "Master"); print(date(), UnitName("Target"), "Found"); SetRaidTarget("target",8); end
Heres a screenshot of a very helpful working macro!

Got my
迷时始祖幼龙
kill today and looted the fabled
迷时始祖幼龙的缰绳
! My message to all that still wish to acquire their own piece of classic WotLK memorabilia is a simple one: Don't lose hope!
Much has changed since the good ole' days when
巫妖王
was the baddest guy in all the lands. For one, the spawn timer on the
迷时始祖幼龙
is much friendlier. It took me only 3 days of semi-hardcore camping to bag my prize. It was a fun and rewarding experience. Allow me to share a few tips that helped me to be successful:
There are 4 spawn points for the
迷时始祖幼龙
, but you only need to choose the Bor's Breath spawn point and DON"T MOVE!
迷时始祖幼龙
shares spawn points, flight paths, and spawn timer with
维拉苟萨
. If one is alive the other will not be. KEEP TRACK of every time
维拉苟萨
dies!
When
维拉苟萨
dies and her body despawns, neither her nor the
迷时始祖幼龙
will spawn for 4 hours. TAKE A NAP!
After the 4 hours are up,
维拉苟萨
or
迷时始祖幼龙
will spawn within another 4 hours. BE ALERT!
You will meet fellow campers along the way. Share information with them and they will likely do the same for you so MAKE FRIENDS!
So there it is: don't move, keep track, take a nap, be alert, and make friends!
I camped about 3 days and logged 4
维拉苟萨
kills. I finally killed the
迷时始祖幼龙
6 hours after my last logged
维拉苟萨
kill.
Good luck and happy camping!

My Hunt on Illidan March 2016 (Chicago PVP CRZ):
25 consecutive Vyragosa spawns (8 days)
Spawns ranged from 4h 17m to 7h 8m from last kill.
I triple boxed Ulduar, Falls, Village spawn points, always made a friend / party group to track the BB/lake spawn.
Skinned every vyra kill.
1231p, 542p, 1101p, 557a, 1054a
349p, 1038p, 416a, 938a, 411p
1018p, 449a, 1037a, Server Reset (server back up at 1147am)
427p, 1123p, 511a, 1031a, 508p
1121p, 338a, 1001a, 411p, 950p
321a, 1029a
~540p TLPD kill at falls (too exited to write down the exact time but a little over 7hr spawn)
Recommend:
multiboxing spawn points (I activated old RAF accounts with gold), macro for insta target and kill, covering all 4 spawn points, so you know you can take 4 hr break after vyra kill, and have a 2nd or 3rd monitor so you can multi-task while still camping. Make camping friends to help keep your sanity / increase to full coverage
Killing other northrend rares does reduce the spawn time by about 1 hour on average and I was able to get Frostbitten doing this. I would kill rares in the hour before vyra/tlpd would become spawnable (4hr spawn minimum). I stopped doing this once I earned frostbitten.
I was actively spamming my macro when TLPD spawned. There was tons of competition on illidan pvp CRZ (~60 servers) and that was the difference getting the kill the 1st time I saw him alive.
Thanks Nadrii and Sniffdball for your help on coverage and killing pvp trolls <3
Well worth the time for hardcore mount collectors.

Yes! I got it today on Ravencrest-EU! I was watching series and heard the NPCscan sound and quickly after that my macro scripted sound.
Quick rundown of camp+spawn+kill
• Knew that Vyragosa was killed 03:35 Ravencrest-EU
• Camped ulduar spot from roughly
11:00
was camping warbringers before and got my last mount (jade) :)
• Watched a series
•
15:47
Heard some noise, tabbed to wow, heard BOOOONESTOOOORM
• it was TLPD!
• quickly turned around to hit my judgement macro
• FELL OFF THE LEDGE NOT TAGGING IT, bubbled
• heartattack almost
• flew up fast as hell!
• tagged, died from fall.
• Took ressurection sickness
• flew back to corpse
• tried to loot but it was too far away on an area i couldn't stand
• spammed guildmate for lootarang, didnt have mats myself
• He mailed it
• looted
• Happy life!
MACRO
/run local f,x = CreateFrame("frame",nil, UIParent);f:SetScript("OnUpdate", function() if GameTooltipTextLeft1:GetText() == "Time-Lost Proto-Drake" then PlaySoundKitID(16946, "master", true); if not x then Screenshot(); x=true; end end end)
The macro shouts
"BOOOONESTOOOOORM"
and snaps a screenshot when you hover over the tooltip "Time-Lost Proto-Drake"

Managed to bag this beauty today on the Defias Brotherhood-EU server after years of on and off camping (I've never "hardcore" camped it, only increased my camping hours/patience in the last 4 weeks).
It is quite peculiar because I logged on this morning around 11:20 server time and found to my despair TLPD dead (as always) on the ground near the Engine of the Makers (on the Brunnhildar village spawn point path). I decided to sob by the corpse until it despawned, which it did 5 minutes later (11:25). This means that TLPD must have been killed around 10:55 as the
corpse despawn timer is about 30 minutes
. I made a mental note to check for TLPD again around 15:00 server time (
4 hours is the quickest logged respawn time for TLPD/Vyragosa
).
Naturally, I forgot to come back at 15:00 and instead logged in again around 16:10 to half-procrastinate from my uni work. So I was hovering over the
big bird's nest (38,64ish)
and spamming my
macro made by SerroDan
whilst revising for an upcoming exam when the macro picked up TLPD (!) at 16:18 server time. There it was in all its glory, flying over the exact same spot that it had been killed on earlier that morning (at
41,61
near the Engine of the Makers on the Brunnhildar village spawn point path).
It therefore spawned about 5 and a half hours after the last sighted kill
.
I flew towards TLPD thinking that "there's no way I'll get it, someone else will swoop in and tag it like so many times before", but no - I fired off an ice lance which killed it in one hit (level 90 mage) and fell to my death. I could've cast slow fall like I had practised but I was far too excited for my brain to function properly. I ressed and looted it thinking "I'm never coming back to the Storm Peaks! .. oh wait, I still need Mimiron's Head.. sigh".
It is worth noting that I decided to camp over the bird's nest which cover three spawn paths as there is rarely people in the Storm Peaks on that server. If you are on a more populated server with many fellow TLPD campers, I would recommend camping one spawn point.
So back to the quite peculiar thing;
TLPD spawned twice in a row
(take that Vyragosa!)
from the same spawn point twice in a row
!
Good luck hunting.

Hello! I recently became dedicated in camping for this mount. But ive looked it up since Wrath years ago :P and i knew there were 4 spawn points with 4 routes to take :
http://www.pondbrain.com/notsorare/tlpd/img/stormpeaksmap.simpleroute.multi.jpg
But yesterday while camping, I decided to google more stuff on it and i came upon this interesting image:
http://wowwiki.wikia.com/wiki/File:Time-Lost_Proto_Drake_paths.jpg
As you can see. its from wowwiki, and it shows 2 more "unconfirmed" spawn points, and me being in a 7 hour + camp session with no spawns across all 4 points, ive gotten a little paranoid about it. Can someone confirm or denie them?

Killed this morning at 02:02am PST on Earthen Ring-US server. I was using two accounts to cover the three lower flight paths. I had one toon parked at Brunhildar and another above Bors Breath. I had about 100 hours in over the last two weeks and had killed about six Vyras and Skoll and Dirkee a number of times. I Was tired as hell and wasn't spamming the macro but occasionally going back and forth on both toons in window mode. Suddenly the macro picked up a TLPD somewhere. I wasn't exactly sure which account picked it up since Silver Dragon is linked if you have multiple accounts open so if it hits on one, it hits on the other. I started checking both accounts and didn't have a visual on either. I apparently caught it at the far detection edge on the Brunhildar toon as it flew North heading toward Engine of the Makers. I was able to tackle it right around where Dirkee spawns on the West side. I couldn't believe she made it that far undetected.
Ironically, I had just came back to Storm Peaks and was only set up for about three hours after taking a break to go and try to bag Aeonaxx. I actually got her at 10:21pm after 20 minutes. Never been so lucky.

17 vyra spawns in a row on the same realm, all killed by me and a camping buddy ... @#$% us
评论来自
kazana2
In the course of a week me and a camping buddy i picked up along the way tracked every ( before we got our first tlpd) and about half (after he got the first tlpd) vyra/tlpd spawns. Each covered 2 spawn points if we were both online and all 4 if the other was offline.
We saw 17
维拉苟萨
s before our first TLPD ( yup, 17 with only 1 missed spawn in the middle of the night, because i had an exam the following morning). With an averege of 4.5 spawns per day ( each day containing between 3 and 6 spawns) thats almost 4 days worth of camping.
The second TLPD spawned 3 days later for me, with 7 logged Vyra kills after the first TLPD. Mind you, me being alone, I decided not to try and tag the spawns in the night, and only logged the ones in the day.
To the people talking about 1 hour spawns and 12+ spawns, those are all lies (the first) and old pre-Cataclysm facts ( the second). All spawns were between 4 and 8 hours, shortest we saw being 4:04 and longest 7:59, never above 8 and never below 4. If you are camping this, and you see a corpse, you can take a 4 hour break. It also does not favor any of the 4 spawn points. In the first 15 Vyra spawns, we saw no Ulduar spawns take place (mainly waterfall and village), but later on the 7 kills between the 2 TLPDs, 4 were there with the first and second back to back, and no waterfall spawns took place.
To those interested, the first TLPD was from the village spawn point, and the second - from Bor's Breath.
Tip: While you cannot skin TLPD, you can Vyragosa. This does not make the next vyra/tlpd spawn faster ( i actually read something like this lol), because the timer starts when Vyra/tlpd dies not when its skinned, but it does get rid of the evidence and saves you the trouble of someone seeing her and later being a competition on one or more of the spawn points.

After 42 hours of camping spread across 8 days, I was finally able to catch this elusive beast and bag myself a shiny new mount :) Here are a few tips I picked up about the camping process, which I hope will be helpful to others:
In order to improve my chances, I made a death knight on a very low-pop, CRZ-free realm for camping purposes.
I can highly recommend this approach to anyone interested in rare-hunting
, as it removes a lot of the competition and is more reliable than realm-hopping. It takes a bit of time, but it definitely pays off: since levelling this character, I've managed to get a ton of rare stuff, including
磷光石幼龙缰绳
on the very same day as TLPD!
Even on dead realms, it's safest to pick a spawn point and camp on the point itself without patrolling, as people realm-hop in and out every so often, which makes it hard to monitor traffic in a zone even if there are no other campers. In order to track who else is in the zone, go into /who and type:
z-"storm peaks"
This will pick up any realm-hoppers from your faction and people from other realms in your CRZ, as well as other campers/passers-by on your server.
My main camping spot was the
Bor's Breath/Frozen Lake
spawn point, which I chose because it overlooks the paths from Ulduar and the Waterfall. It's also close enough to the
Waterfall
spawn point itself that a /target macro will pick up spawns from there almost instantly.
If you're camping alone, consider using multiple accounts (or starter accounts) in order to monitor multiple spawn points. I created two low-level characters, each on a different starter account, and used
沙石幼龙
to move them to the
Ulduar
and
Brunnhildar Village
spawn points. When either character caught a spawn, I would fly over with my main camper and kill it (as the realm was dead, I never lost out). I chose Night Elves because of
影遁
, though for Brunnhildar bear in mind that you will need to put your toon far enough back not to constantly aggro the patrolling blue protos as otherwise they will very easily see through your stealth (I suggest under the clump of trees).
If you are multiboxing (or even if you aren't!) remember that
NPCScan no longer auto-detects rares unless you are mousing over them
, and even this only applies when the window is active. You can use a macro to /target Vyragosa or TLPD and play a sound when they appear (for which see below), but you have to keep pressing it, and it will only work in whichever window you have active. So when camping,
it's best to make sure you can see all your WoW windows at all times
- I had my starter accounts running in windowed mode on a second monitor. When TLPD spawned, it was near one of my starter accounts; he didn't aggro and I received no alert of any kind: I just spotted him out of the corner of my eye!
The
4-8 hour respawn window
has been widely reported by campers, and I saw nothing to indicate it was wrong. Knowing this is important, as if you know when the last kill was, you only need to camp for up to 4 hours at a time. That said, unless you're in a position to be able to 'no-life' the camp for days on end, my advice is to accept early on that you will miss some spawns. Just camp when you can - even if you have to wait 8 hours, eventually something will appear :)
Hold your nerve!
Don't be put off if someone comes to stack on you; chances are they will lose interest and disappear. If not, just make sure you're sat as close to the spawn point as possible, and have your /tar macro with an instant cast spell attached ready. If you're on a PvP realm (as I was) and you get ganked, remember that you can stay in spirit form at the spawn point for as long as you like and still see if something spawns.
Ponderance's site
has some useful macros, including a script for retrieving your corpse: very handy to include in your /tar + instant cast macro if you're getting some unwelcome attention from the other faction.
In total, I saw 14 Vyragosas before the Time-Lost Proto-Drake finally spawned at Ulduar, 09:42 server time, on the 8th day of camping (14/06/2016). The shortest consecutive respawn I witnessed was 5 hours and 58 minutes; the longest (where I can be certain I didn't miss a spawn) was 7 hours and 49 minutes. As far as I could tell, there is no bias for any particular spawn spots, and no pattern: it's all pure RNG. Spawns from Waterfall, Brunnhildar and Ulduar all seemed to patrol in a
counter-clockwise direction
along their respective paths, while the Bor's Breath spawns I saw were all headed in a
clockwise direction
.
Here's all the data!
Finally, I used the following macro (thanks SerroDan!):
/target Vyra
/target Time-Los
/focus
/run if UnitName("Target") then PlaySoundFile(], "Master"); print(date(), UnitName("Target"), "Found"); SetRaidTarget("target",8); end
I recommend spamming this as often as you can, as I almost missed logging a Vyragosa kill that happened at Waterfall (the macro found her corpse and she instantly despawned, so she must have been skinned).
Thanks to everyone on here for the useful tips and advice - I actually never thought I would get this mount, but after doing the research I found that with a little bit of dedication and bags of patience, anyone can do it :) Good luck to those still on the hunt, and I hope my rambling post is of some use to you.

I camped mine back in August of 2015 on the server Aegwynn, I spent most of my time doing so, and here are my timers:
17th 2:31am Vyra(hearsay)
17th 6:31am Vyra(my kill)
17th 12:51pm Vyra(my kill)
17th 6:41pm Vyra(my kill)
18th 12:45am Time-Lost(body)
18th 12:41pm Time-Lost(body)
18th 5:10pm Vyra(body)
19th 4:51am Time-Lost(hearsay)
19th 11:51am Time-Lost(body)
20th 9:08am Vyra(my kill)
20th 3:38pm Vyra(body)
20th 8:34pm Vyra(body)
21st 3:34am Vyra(body)
22nd 5:41pm Vyra(body)
22nd 10:55pm Vyra(my kill)
23rd 6:06am Vyra(my kill-someone tipped me off that she was patrolling)
23rd 12:25pm Vyra(my kill)
23rd 8:10pm Vyra(hearsay)
24th 2:32am Vyra(my kill)
24th 1:02pm Vyra(body)
24th 5:10pm Time-Lost(body)
25th 5:05am Vyra(my kill)
25th 5:13pm Vyra(my kill)
26th 5:48am Time-Lost(body)
26th 8:23pm Vyra(hearsay)
27th 8:51am Vyra(my kill)
27th 1:37pm Vyra(my kill)
27th 6:18pm Vyra (my kill-patrolling again)
28th 2:00am Vyra(body)
28th 6:00pm Vyra(hearsay)
28th 2:30am Time-Lost(my kill)
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 possibly 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!

As of 7.0.3, with the new personal loot system, if someone in your group tags it then waits for everyone to get there, the whole group will get loot.
To tag it without killing it, it is safe to use
Soft Foam Sword
and the
Red Rider Air Rifle

With the new personal loot system, if you are in the same group of the person who killed, and you were near the kill, you get the mount. Makes life a lot easier with all the realms that are merged together. My group all camped at the same spot, and one person had a macro being spammed with a Razer Synapse macro.
If your group is sitting at multiple spawn points and you want to tag to secure the kill without killing, Go out and buy
The Red Rider Air Rifle
. It has a cast time, but it is a fairly fast cast. It does about 1-2 damage to any mob enabling you to tag without killing.
If you are rolling solo and there is a bunch of the opposite faction, the
Stealthman 54
is a nice item to have so you don't get ganked.
Anyway, GL to new farmers

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 be 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. :(

I've wasted so many days of my life (and gametime) trying to hunt this beauty down and I never even saw him dead on the ground. I've seen a lot of people flying around with it but I still doubt that it exists lol. One of the two mounts I've really always wanted but no luck so far. I almost gave up looking for it but I really really want it.
Edit: I finally got this beautiful Dragon! Killed on 13.12.2016 @ 00:51 on Die Aldor - EU! Teamed up with 2 fellow campers and we got it, finally the camping has come to an end. I wish everyone the best amount of luck when you are out there hunting, I am so happy right now. I camped since early Cataclysm if anyone wonders, sometimes you get very lucky but usually it takes a great amount of time to get this mount.

I been camping Bors for 8 hours until i finally found the TLPD to spawn at 12:35AM PST right next to me,Vyra got killed at 12:40PM PST so it took close to 12 hours for the next spawn.Glad i could hit him before the horde but my friends could'nt make it to me for the loot :( It took me about 15-20 hrs of camping before i became a proud owner of the Time-Lost Proto Drake, so happy i didnt have to stay here for weeks but i can confirm TLPD still spawns since i read on some post it was buggy since Legion, Very nice mount^^

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.
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 ish, 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, 5:30 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, and take of yourself out there.

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
/cast Growl
/stopattack
Below I included my spreadsheet I created during my two weeks farming for it. I more than likely missed a few early spawns. Each Kill is

This is the math. This equation assumes you have a person in each of the four places where the TLPD spawns. This also assumes that you four are the only people there this entire time. This is because the amount of people here varies depending on the time, realm, etcetera. This factor is way to dynamic to actually implement into this equation.
First, let's go over the facts.
-There's a 1/6 chance that the TLPD will spawn, while there's a 5/6 chance Vyragosa will spawn.
-If this 1/6 chance is true, you'd have a 4/4 chance of seeing the dragon spawn considering this 1/6 would be true and you have a person at each spawn-point.
-This means there's a 1/8 (3/24) chance for you to actually see the dragon.
Calculations.
-Putting 1/8 in decimal form gives us .125. If we multiply this .125 by the drop chance of the mount (98/100), which is .125/.98, we get .1225. This is a 49/400 chance, which is still roughly a 1/8 chance.
-Given the spawn time is between 4 and 8 hours, you'd have to be waiting there for 64 hours if you were least likely to receive the mount. Of course, this time could be much greater if there are more parties in your area and if you, two, or three people are camping.
Errors that could occur in the equation.
- On the southern side of the mountain Frosthold is on is a spawn-point. Factoring in the idea of nobody being there would mean that you'd still have a 4/4 chance even if nobody were at the spawn-point at Brunnhildar since the Drake's flight path from Brunnhildar meets with it's spawn-point by Frosthold (the southern one closer to K3).

Fellow campers, i ask of you, if you see someone tagging the TLPD, and waiting, to not be a troll and kill it before the other group members can get it(even if they are other faction!), not only you will crush some peoples dreams, you will also have 1 to 7 more players to compeat with, however, you can tag it with the Red air rifle toy(got no clue how to link, oops) and wait for their group members to come but this only works if its tagged by your faction

yes, my comment below is regardding the very thing that just happend, however this guy wasnt a camper, he just happend to fly by and saw it
The name not only shows how much time you lose trying to find it...but also that you have literally no time to lose when tagging it

After all the years and 5 days long camp, me and my friend finally managed to kill her after 10 Vyragosa Kills and checking at least 10 realms! Get ready to see plenty of big maiden Vyragosa and 100 level trials! Good luck to hunters! Btw we found and killed most of the Vyra's on Waterfall and Bor's Breath Route. Some were in Ulduar and Village point too.

I'll preface this by saying that this never, ever happens to me. I was levelling up my cooking and fishing in Northrend, flying from place to place, minding my own business. I was flying through Storm Peaks and my rare npc add-on picked up this spawn out of nowhere. I absolutely was just in the right place at the right time. Took me over an hour to get the Bad Clams recipe to finally drop but this mount basically just falls into my lap. The Blizzard gods have a sense of humour.

I got the TLPD today on Frostmourne. My journey of 18 vyra kills and 2 weeks of hardcore camping comes to an end today. Here is my story, i have made 10 class trials scattered across the servers and i camped out the TLPD with a group on Amun'thul - a vyragosa appears and we agree to return in 2hrs time. So i decide to switch on my main of Frostmourne and go to Bor's Breath - there was this guy who saw me and abused me for sitting in the same spawn point as him. I leave to the village - my silver dragon screams and it comes into my view point. Now i was shaking because i was expecting the Horde to snatch it up straight away so i fly into it and it doesnt agro it (i am lvl 110). It flys to a cliff and i quickly heroic throw my dagger and kill it. Now i can say karma is a !@#$% to the guy who was abusive towards me. Obtained on Frostmourne at 2:00pm at Brunhilder village. Now i promised my friends that if i get it il help them camp it out so here is a brief overview of spawn times i think you will find usefull.
--------
Typically Vyrogosa has a 5hr spawn and it has been true to that - 5 5hr vyrogsa spawns
i saw the TLPD spawn infront of me but i panicked and forgot to tag it and i lost it. TLPD spawned after 8 vyra kills at the 6hr mark - Bors Breath.
------
if you are camping it please be considerate and buy the rifle that does a 1dmg and not flat out kill it.
if you have toons on other servers i suggest you look thoroughly through stormpeaks. I myself have become a mount collector after 5 rare mount drops for me. So best of luck and remember its called Time Lost proto drake for a reason. Patience is key.

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.
14-6 22.45 brunhilldar vyra

21-6 00.47 brunhilldar vyra
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!

Just got it about an hour ago on Moonrunner (10:45 AM server time). Honestly, folks, I've tried the camping thing since Lich King came out, but never saw this guy flying around. Yet I was doing Argent Tournament dailies, flew up Bor's Fall, and saw him flying north. Couldn't believe it. So I'd say you're just as likely to get these rares randomly doing a quick search off hours as you are spending days camping. It all comes down to luck. I'm still in shock, but I wish everyone the best of luck.

Working with Legion:
I farmed it today. After NPCScan only working on mouse over and the change to personal loot, it worked with the following steps for a whole group of players, faster and easier.
1. find a group of 4
2. everyone buys
红色骑兵气枪
/rotes-erbsengewehr
3. everyone takes 1 spawn point (there are several maps of spawn points on google or check out youtube for the exact spawn point)
4. wait and communicate about spawn infos (vyragosa spawned -> log out for a minimum of 45 minutes (minimal respawn timer) / on my server it respawned 6 hours after the last sighting of either vyragosa or proto on ulduar spawn point / I can speculate about an average spawn time of 4-7 hours, from chatting with other players camping this one)
5. it is finally spawned -> everybody of the group tags it with Air Rifle, if it spawned on your spawn, you are definitly the first one to tag it directly (tags can be done with taunt and other methods too)
6. kill it
7. everybody of the group can feel free to find some sleep now.
I wish everyone good luck with this method, I will be farming Aeonaxx now.

Last night at 12 o' clock realm time i was hovering over the Engine of the Makers for roughly 30 minutes, figured i'd camp a bit before i go to bed and lord behold as im watching a video on my 2nd screen i see that 1 different colored proto drake in the corner of my eye and i flip !@#$!
It was on the server Argent Dawn - EU, i dont know if there is a fixed spawn timer for him now but just thought i'd share the time of killing him and getting so very very lucky.

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.)

Managed to get one, as soon as I saw him I sniped him mid air with my hunter toon. TLPD actually dropped on some hill that can't be reached... luckily for me I used fetch and pet got my my flying mount. Learn from my mistake or you will cry. A lot. To actually catch and kill this elusive guy and them be unable to loot him, that is something you don't wanna experience. Good luck.

Friend-ship has a higher chance to win you this mount!
I been search for info on this proto-drake a lot over the years, just haven't put myself together to camp it, when my Void Elf Hunter reaches level 77, I'm thinking may be I should get her a nice looking mount.
Here is what I found over 3 week's mediocre camping:
1. It works better if you are in a group minimum of 4, maximum 5, so you have all the spawn point covered. (Doesn't work on raid)
1.) /way 35.06, 76.86 (Ice Fall / Water Fall)
2.) /way 31.59, 69.86 (Bor's Breath)
3.) /way 51.17, 71.44 (Brunnhildar Village)
4.) /way 52.30, 35.03 (Ulduar)
2. Everyone in your group must soft tag TLPD in order to get the credit and loot the Reins of TLPD, since most of the high level can easily one shot TLPD, to prevent killing it before your team mate reaching you, here is a few recommendation you should use for soft tag TLPD -
1.) Priest - Dispel Magic
2.) Hunter - Counter Shot (this may still risk of one shot your target)
4.) Shaman - Purge / Wind Shear
5.) Druid - Entangling Roots / Growl
6.) Warlock - Havoc / Curse of Tongues
7.) Warrior / Pally / DK / DH - Taunt
8.) Mage - Counter Spell
As you can see there is no Rogue and Monk on my list, because I don't have any of this class, so I can't say for sure, however, to be safe, here is another item I strongly recommend you for soft tag - , if you want TLPD so bad, get the and DON'T be a jerk!
3. Vyragosa share the same spawn location, time and fly route with TLPD, the normal spawn timer is around 4.5 - 22 hrs, we usually use 4.5 to 6 hrs as average, and I did read up what others said about the spawning rate - around 6 to 7 Vyragosa, there should be 1 TLPD, however, it doesn't mean TLPD wouldn't spawn in between, and back to back spawn also happened, this is why having a full team is important, also since we have cross realm, phase in and phase out sort of thing, these data is for reference only, not 100%. We also had cases miss the TLPD because sudden realm phase out.
4. When you started to camp, soon you will find yourself a whole bunch familiar players name, as one of our regular camp mate said - I have met more people during my few weeks camping than my past 5 years of game play. Try to be friend with them, exchange information helps a lot for success camp, remember, kindness goes a long way, it may even bring you extra good surprise!
5. You don't have to be hardcore 24/7 for success camp. During the camping, specially right after Vyragosa's kill, have your speaker on, make sure your NPCscan and Silver Dragon works, you can go watch YouTube, Netflix, or even do house chore, read some books, do some school assignment. Just make sure your character not AFK for too long, be more incentive when 4.5 hrs mark is up.
If you could find a way to have a better communication between you and your team mate will be a huge plus, for example if your detection didn't sound while you AFK, your team mate can notify you via other sound system, so you can rush back to your game. We learn that in a hard way, when my team mate had the spawn, my silver dragon didn't notified me, it was the team mate said it in group chat urge everyone go to him. Another case was right after Vyragosa's kill, one of our team mate went AFK, another team mate hop on his different character to check another realm, he found TLPD and immediately alert us to join him, but the AFK team mate couldn't receive the silent message, he was totally missed the kill. So have an alternative communication system with sound will reduce your camp time!
Remember - Kindness, Persistence, Patience FTW!

Obtained one of these beauts yesterday on my way to Dalaran to buy my orphan and I some lovely cake. :) <3
I really dunno how I can be so lucky sometimes. I guess it's just this "spidey" sense I have and when it tingles, I'll investigate and oftentimes -BOOM- there is a rare or something. Perhaps it's my gift from God - whoever he/she is.
I'm liking the mount, however, I doubt I'll use it all that often once the novelty wears off. It does bring out the jelly in some people that's for sure ! x'D

Just got
迷时始祖幼龙的缰绳
on Quel'Dorei. Shout-out to Alcaris-Fenris who teamed up with me and camped a different spot. The TLPD spawned at his location, and he was able to taunt it and just let it hit on him long enough for me to fly over from the spot I was camping (near the village) before the drake died. We both ended up with the mount! Teamwork wins again! Good luck to everyone still waiting to catch this one!

Hell of a camp, the whole group was able to tag with the toy rifle and I'm happy to say that we all got this mount. The Nightmare is over!

I am not going to pretend that I am an expert on this, I only camped for 3 days. I opened a few trial characters in low populated servers checked them frequently and almost got my TLPD with this method, but ended up getting it with group camping with a few great players. I just have some warnings for people who wants this.
You need at least one person you trust to camp while you are away. Knowing the last spawn time is a bliss. People lie... A lot... They troll general chat about killing Vyragosa just an hour ago or someone killing TLPD 2 hours ago...
It is believed that re-spawn window is 2-8 hours, the shortest I saw was 4,5 hours and the longest 7,5 hours. Although we take 2 hours breaks after each Vyragosa kill most of the spawns were between 6-7 hours.
Always take notes on kill times and servers if you are camping on more than one. after a few hours everything seems similar. You talk about the kill from 2 days ago as the last one.
If you are planning on using trial level 100 characters
don't forget that trial characters have time limit
(I think 6 hours). Game will log you out immediately. And you can not login to that character without buying a boost after that. So use trial characters only to check server if NPC is there.. Don't camp with trial characters. It really hurts to camp for 6 hours, get logged out, open a new character and come back to camping point and see a dead TLPD there... It really does...
So best way is to camp in a server with a non trial character, catch a timer there and check other servers when you know it won't show up. (probably 2 hours after Vyragosa kill)
Talk to people, don't tell them to f*** away, teach them tagging, teach them how safe it is to tag and wait others etc. You can't believe how nice players can be. (oh... 180 from the first one)
If you are camping alone or checking servers and hoping to see TLPD you don't need much. Just remember that it flies really high and you need to one shot it, probably fall and die and get there to loot. So know your attacks. Don't hit some spell and die with `Can't do that while moving` error on the screen.
If you are caping with a group or you want someone else to get loot as well:
Learn how to soft tag. Many people already wrote class specific attacks that can tag without killing. I used Red Rider Air Rifle from Dalaran toy shop.
Have your target macro (to target Vyragosa and TLPD), riffle (or the attack you are gonna use for soft tagging) in your action bar.
Have your Snowfall Lager ready. you probably won't need it but anyways, it won't hurt.
They spawn flying and far from rifle range. so you need to fly close to it, take aggro and get to place where you can stand.
Practice on proto-drakes close to village how to take the agro and get it to a ground so that you don't fall when you tag it or use spell.
Tell your group mates not to kill Vyragosa and see how high actually it flies.. And also practice on her if you can.
Take off any gear that have AOE effect.
Turn auto attack off.
I am not sure if getting the aggro is enough for tagging, it was enough for me. But don't take chance and as a group mate to take drake away so that you can also tag. (rifle has 5-25 yards range, meaning it won't hit if the drake is closer than 5 yards or far away than 25 yards)
Always check around for other players and try to talk to them and learn their approach. Some are open to tag it and wait.
When it spawns: (in this order)
Do not panic.
Tell group members
Do not fall down.
Drink snowfall if you have it.
Do not panic.
Use soft tag if you are close enough.
Do not panic.
Do not kill it.
If it is far to tag, fly near it and try to take aggro, if you can, take it to closest place you can stand.
Do not panic.
Do not fall down.
Do not kill it before all group members tagged it.
I camped for 3 days, taking breaks, learning about last spawns from other players. After a few hours you start recognizing people, thanks to them we always knew the last spawn time and location. some people changed, they got their drakes on other servers, some quit, some just went offline...
Last night while we were talking about quiting if Vyragosa spawns again Time-Lost Proto-Drake spawned in Waterfall just in front of me. I had practiced, I knew what to do but I almost had an heart attack. My first thought was to hit every button that I can... But I did not. I wrote `COME` to group chat... I am glad last thing that I wrote was to group so that I did not whisper someone else.. I flew close to it, as I said it spawns flying and it is possible that you are not in range to use rifle. I got the aggro and kite it to closest cliff.
Then first group member came. The other 2 were writing not to panic and wait for them. We waited. I couldn't hit it with the rifle. TLPD was still on me but I was not sure. Second group member was close. I tried to tell them that I wasn't sure if I tagged it and not to kill before last member is here. Then... It died.. 4th member arrived just in a couple of seconds.
TLPD was sparkly I looted it.
Second the other 2 members also got it.
4th member did not.
I checked if I could trade it. Hoping that it wouldn't allow me and that I didn't have anything I can do about it. But, damn, it said I could trade it with an eligible players in some hours. But it is Time-Lost Proto-Drake. I couldn't...
I still don't know what happened.

BEWARE: Very fragile!
I just got my Time-Lost Proto-Drake, BUT I messed it up for 3 of my party members. I was camping one of the spawn spots when someone invited me to their TLPD camping group. Being level 110, one of the party members suggested that I get naked so that I don't kill the TLPD when I tag it. I thought it was better safe than sorry so I did. After about an hour of camping, it was 3AM and I decided I was going to bed. Just as I was going to log out, the NPCScan sound went off. There it was. The TLPD spawned right in front of me! So I tag it with a melee, and...it WAS DEAD. A single naked melee from an elemental shaman one-shot it with a ton of overkill.
Sure, I got my Reins, but I deprived 3 of my kind party members, and so it was very bittersweet. I know most of you are reading this thinking that I'm an idiot, and obviously even a naked melee from a 110 would one-shot this guy. But if I can prevent this from happening even one time in the future, this confession of ignorance will have been worth it.
I've submitted a GM ticket and am crossing my fingers!

I finally saw an alive version of
迷时始祖幼龙
after much flying around in the early hours of the morning with War-Mode ON.
He had spawned by the frozen waterfall and not wanting to risk it being sniped by a horde I proceded to cancel my flying mount, and while free-falling attacked with conflagrate, the kill was instant though - it was as I activated my Goblin Glider Kit that I saw the corpse plummiting *through* the frozen waterfall and it landed under the ice :(
After much facepalming I managed to target the corpse and figured out roughly where it had landed, then coaxed a nearby harpy to as close as I could to where the corpse should be, zapped it and due to the aoe looting effect I was able to loot the harpy *and* TLPD!
Thankfully the corpse lasts quite a while, nearly lost out on a very rare spawn due to a clipping bug...
TLDR - Be sure the ground underneath is good before killing, and good luck!

I was questing on my 79 LFD Pally. Finished up Defending K3 and Ricket offered to fly me to the next area on his rocket thing. I immediately regret this decision as the rocket lazily passes right by
迷时始祖幼龙
by the Mob village north of K3. It felt like forever waiting to get to the top of the mountain just to fly back down and hunt for it, but I finally caught up to it near ground level by the mob village. Agro'd, killed and looted. I don't even have the skill to use it yet, but damn quite a lucky night.
Warmode was on. I'm convinced that helped as I only saw a ? Horde in the area, but he was on the wrong path.
