While camping I did many other things behind my screens like leveling my PVP char
on my other alt account, watching movies and i have played the guitar alot.
I highly suggest you get yourself something else to do while camping out Aeonaxx,
since it literally can spawn anytime, anywhere around the temple in Deepholm.
I also kept fellow (HC) campers as friends (even alliance mateys) and shared as
much information as I could with them and that really helped me alot and we also
never got into eachothers faces or so, we either spread up to catch more of him.
During my camp we also had vacation, so we had plenty of time to invest into it,
and for the sleeping part I can tell you it was a lot of coffee, red bulls and
sleepness nights :)
You are considered very lucky if you "bump" into this mount by accident, and yes
face it; some people will have it in days, others in weeks, and some peoples might
still don't even get it within months...and that's why it is a Rare elite spawn!
My advice is; Just watch the good videos that are out, read the good information on
Wowhead and make your own plan of getting it, the information is good now!
Just stay around the temple, and have a lot of patience with this guy :-)
Good luck, High five!

This is 4th kill of Aeonaxx, that I know in our realm.
Now will talk what camp strategy I do.
1.
I add all campers to my friendly list. Set note "Aeonaxx". Track, when they come, gone, go AFK, what time they prefer to camp. Information is everything… Now all are removed from my friend list.
2.
I begin to camp him casual - 1-2 Hours before sleep on 04.01.2011. 08.01 firday I tame Jedefang in 06:17 ST. I miss Aeonaxx for 1h. He spawn between 07-08 ST. This mean all previous hours are lost, so I make decision to do it “Hard way”.
3.
The idea just to stay and wait and don’t know what’s go in on, make me sad. I go to push my luck. I begin from 09.01, after catch of the bat, to go around temple every 10 mins. For ex. catch bat in xx:23 mins, after 6 hrs when back, I go around temple in every 10 mins by this patern / 03,13,23,33,43 and so on/. This was successful, for a solo camping, I have a lot of meetings with the BloodSeeker. Also note that the spawn rate of bat don’t fill in the pattern I use. There was spawn, when my NPCScan catch bat and he despawn after 30 secs. Killed or not the bat stay the same amount of time that it should 6 mins. I kill him, drop to the ground and despawn in 30 secs. This was tired for me, but catching the bat give 6 hrs to do and be away from deepholm/wow.
Here is a video link:

Again, hunter fight :D I have done all quests in Deepholm. Adds don’t ignore me and after they shoot me to less than 90k health I begin to killing them.
Targeting. I was macroed Raptor Strike and Scatter Shot, but sometimes work sometimes not. Targeting with TAB was working, like charm in any part of the encounter. TAB adds + Multishot, TAB and target Aeonaxx.
Now raw info /spawn time, despawn time, location /: Times are ST (ServerTime)

Some my notes. After I see the PTR video and that Aeonaxx stay at place, I think that he shows up for the same amount of time, like BloodSeeker. This give answer, why low population realms catch it less, than full. When camp a spot, there is ALWAYS
location that your NPCScan can’t reach. So when you are AFK, you can miss Aeonaxx, but this doesn’t mean he is not spawn and reigns are unlinkable. BloodSeeker is a lvl 15 mob and NPCScan can find him in very small radius. I make a ticket, but go in chat with GM and say that
can't
give any information, about rare spawns. Also I ask that, phasing issue affect people done all quests in Deepholm. No answer again.
May be luck, may be not - for all 6 day hard camp, the only location that never spawn bat was location that I catch Aeonaxx. This location always in my reach radius.
Everyone take my post as he want to. Only times can say am I right or not. Blizzard make catching Aeonaxx, so much hard, and really need to do something more than camping for it. That is the reason some people never see bat or Aeonaxx himself and wait for their luck.
Yep the Camel is next :]
Good Luck!

Gonna keep this short and sweet- got this handsome mount tonight after maintenance. Aeonaxx spawned pretty much right on top of me at the NW spawn, lower than Stonecore entrance, about 11 and a half hours (I think) after the servers came back online. I camped pretty hardcore on the Azuremyst US server, just had terrible timing with work. I missed him by a few seconds to someone else about two weeks prior, and was at work for the one that popped the night before that... The rest of my spawns I witnessed were bats. Fought faced forward, didn't have any problems targeting, used my rare target macro to grab him easily after a whelp splattering. Serpent Spread does indeed hit Aeonaxx when used on the whelps, any extra damage as a hunter was welcome. Good luck to any of you still hunting for this elusive Dragon.(##RESPBREAK##)12##DELIM##MasterOfDisguise##DELIM##

i'm camping hard since december 20th, i dunno how many hours i've spent here, but i'm doing no heroics, no raid, nothing. i'm almost always logged, working by day and sleeping not very much by night.
i've seen aeonaxx spawning 2 times, lost spawns other 4 times, see the bat 4 times. i think this rare is quite random, half the players who got it have found the drake doing something else. only one was camping since a week or so. i've passed the month.
i'm a little bored. and the point is: why blizzard creates things like this one? i'm looking at myself from a new angle, and this angle is quite sad. i'm not the only one camping aeonaxx so hard, hundreds are doing this crazy thing around the world. and it's bad for many people, who maybe are no more 'playing' the game, but just waiting. tlpd required only 1 or 2 days, we did know cd, spawn points, routes. aeonaxx isnt just harder to catch, it'a a time wasting thing.
i work, i have a girlfriend, a dog. things that keep me in the real world. and i know this is just a game. but it costs, and one month fee was trashed looking at the temple of earth. not playing the game. i'm starting to worry about students, or people with a lot of free time, or no job. this is not entertaining. at all.

He spawned on Arthas-US at 2:13 PM today.. After Xariona spawning around 9:30 AM this morning.. Spawned in a different phase from those with Deep Into Deepholm. Got one glance of him before he disappeared.. No one mounted him in this phase. That really killed me inside. 20+ days of camping non-stop for him to finally spawn once, and that happens. Sigh, back to camping.

I'm currently looking for a location in Deepholme suitable for the
protbotting strategy
.
What you want to do - and this is the key part - is equip double Shards of the Flame, the
232
and
245
versions from 10- and 26-man Onyxia. Turn your back to the mob, and begin your autoattack.
With these equipped, your character will regenerate over 1000 health per five seconds - more than the mob will be able to dish out in damage. The game engine will see your character as actively autoattacking even though you are not landing a single swing, and not dealing any damage to the mob - and therefore, neither you nor the mob will ever die, nor will you be knocked offline.
I use USB speakers besides my analog headset connected directly to my soundcard. Set sound output to speakers.
DISABLE Game Sound, turn off music, and set volume to 100%
- high enough you can hear it while dead asleep, and the
NPC Scan mod will wake you up
.
Unfortunately, most Deepholme mobs hit hard enough that 200HPS will not keep an AFK player alive. Moreover, many Deepholme mobs have fairly short leashes and it appears as if the terrain has collision such that players can navigate terrain that mobs cannot traverse and will evade bug if a player walks close to walls and rock formations, making it difficult to pull mobs and line-of-sight them out of view of other players.
The best candidates for this strategy appear to be the Living Blood near Deathwing's Fall and possibly the interior of Verlok Stand or the Crumbling Depths. There are a very few effects in the game that spawn a hostile NPC next to the player, such as
Mr. Pinchy
, which is not really practical for this purpose due to the difficulty of farming it plus the RNG as to whether it will even spawn
Furious Mr. Pinchy
. I'm looking for other similar effects that could be used to spawn a hostile NPC on top of the rocks floating high in Deepholme, which are unpopulated.
It's also not clear how far away Aeonaxx is detectable with NPCScan. NPCScan's range is based on the distance from which the client attempts to draw the mob, which in turn is usually defined by the size of the mob. Putridus, for example, is huge, and detectable all the way from Dalaran in the next zone; Seething Hate isn't drawn unless the player flies at low altitude.
Meanwhile, I've found such a location in Uldum, and am working on my Grey Camel first.
Wow...
That is a damn clever strategy. I'll have to look into that.

This is my 12th day, I've seen 2 bats, 1 Xariona and 2 jadefangs.
Once while going out for some air he spawns, /facepalm.
Hopefully I'll be able to at least see him soon....

It was a saturdaynight when I found him, I have been mining on my DK, NPC scan popped. I pooped.
I went to where I knew he is, and I saw a person on a normal flier headed to him. Fortunately myepic beat him to it, I tagged and killed him.
I reveled in glory as I looted the mount.
The, I woke up, and went to school.
