Got an UC last night, blind luck. Just happend to be flying past the area @ aprox. 11pm and spotted one in the middle of a massive pack of rats in the ruins. While I was capturing, a guy flew down and started cussing me out, apparently he'd been there for several hours without any luck. I don't know if he had been killing other pets or not, but when I flew back over a little while later, there were no pets in the area at all, so I don't know if this supports or hurts killing the others.
This is a great pet! It hits hard, and because of it's diverse ability set, nothing it can't chew the face off of.
This little guy will have strong attacks against 3 of the pet families by itself, (or bring 2 and have a strong atack against all but beast, undead, dragon and elemental)! Broom would be solid 3rd strong Dragon/Beast.
I don't have much exp with PvP, but I have to believe it would be strong there too as you don't typically know what you're going up against.
2AM, Just got mine! (C P/P and UC H/S, not greedy, ppl were holding out for the blues). Decided to do a flyover just for kicks at about 1:50 before I went to bed and saw the first one spaw. I haven't been camping them, just hoping to get lucky, but what I saw tonight was that 5-7 spawned 1 or 2 at a time between 1:50 when I saw the first and about 2:20 when the last one got picked up. Most of them spawned near/on the front terrace with the gong, I saw 2 spawn on the path to AQ40.
Got a brown rare as a secondary to a Kun'lai Runt. This little guy has really good damage out put, (too good actually, accidentally killed a rare Runt :().
I use squawk for the damage reduction, then flock, and finish with a peck. Going through this rotation once was killing pets a couple levels higher, and the chicken takes very little damage in the process!
First off, this pet is big, and it has an awesome helfire animation, which it does fairly often.
If you really want to have some fun with it, go to the Darkmoon fair, and when the Warchiefs play their concert, if you come from the very back of the stage sticking close to the side and stand right up against the front of the stage, it will run up onto the stage and stand at the front like a boss, and probably start helfireing part way through the song. Netherspace Abyssal=Metal!
Was leaving from Ratchet to gather Kor'Kron supplies for Little Gaz and spotted this little guy with its mother under the first tree to the right of the path heading West out of the town, (sorry no coordinates). On a whim I decided to battle quick and it turned out to be a rare! Time was about 11 pm.
Solo Strat for <90 DK:
Blood spec with dps gear. Don't tank in corner of stairs! Knock back was changed in 5.3 and now pops you up onto the platform; instead I now use the entrance door way.
Focus on 'nilash using mele only dps rotation but use NS whenever it's up to mitigate some of the healing. Also use macro on cooldown:
/tar Vek'lor
/cast Outbreak
/tar Vek'nilash
gives a small dps boost without loosing time on 'nilash.
Also, use AoD/Ghoul after you have vengeance maxxed.
Got on my first run, haven't seen again.
Soloed as blood DK at lvl 87 with mostly quest tank gear.
Strat I use: kill the guys on the orb, boss will make a line for you and mobs should die just about the time he hits the ramp. MC boss and kill eggs close to you on platform and then head down ramp and work back and forth across the room.
Should be able to get 1/2 the eggs on the first MC. Disease, BB, drop DnD on adds. Should be able to MC again just as boss gets to you and finish eggs.
I'm new to the whole pet thing, but I started working on these guys to get a crow, lots of bad luck there, but that's a different issue. I've gotten a few rares now and they seem to be pretty good pets.
I have a question though, I have the battlepet mod that shows what type of pet it is, and there was one Fly I bumped into a few times that was ??? instead of B/B or any of the others. Is this a glitch with the mod or is there something to this being a ??? ?
Finally spawned after a month of checking. I found them @ 3 AM servertime, were still up @ 3:25.
As a note, they appear rather abundently in both the wine and cave sides of the cellar and they can be detected above ground, so don't waste time sitting or walking down into the caves, just fly over the area to check if they're up.
Lastly, I was the only one in the zone, so I was able to check all but 2 that spawned, (accidently killed). Found 1 rare and 2 uncommons.
