I posted in this thread before when I did this camp on my main back in January. The 1st page, the 5th and 6th posts. It took me three weeks to find Aeonaxx the first time. It had also taken me 2 weeks to find Time-Lost Proto Drake on that same toon. 5 weeks of my life in all for 2 of the rarest flying mounts.
Now on my alt toon.... 1 week. For both.
Insanity, I know. Don't hate... Seriously. Don't. I have put in work for these things, lol.
I had been trying to get the Zin'Rokh sword from Archaeology but had not been having much luck so I decided to take a break and try to find one of the rare drakes again, but this time, on my pally alt toon.
I looked for Aeonaxx for one day without any luck, then switched to TLPD. On the second morning of camping Storm Peaks, Wed 3/30 at 6:53 am, 10 minutes before I had to leave for work, TLPD spawned and I downed him. That evening I began camping Aeonaxx as hard as I could. On the third night I engaged Aeonaxx at 9:53 pm server time on Fri 4/1. That's exactly 63 hours from the time TLPD spawned, and I got it, until Aeonaxx spawned, and I got it.
Before this Aeonaxx's last spawn had been on the same morning that I got TLPD. NW spawnpoint. Both of the spawns that I've seen and engaged were from the NW spawn area.

Never have I seen the kind of phasing that went down with this spawn. Is phasing a new issue? My NPCscan picked it up I saw it spawn but a sec later it vanished in front of my face. 5mins later, after flying around the temple a few times, my mounted Aeonaxx scan goes off - meaning he was there waiting to be mounted but not in my phase. (I've completed all deepholm quests.)
Anyway the only other odd thing to report was as soon as he died his falling corpse came back into my phase but when he was looted his corpse vanished again.
Odd but congrats to the new owner.

23:47~ server time
1th of april (no apriljoke, promise)
I have been farming this guy more or less in 2 months now, and a few days ago I got myself the Sandstone drake-mount, so I pretty much gave up on Aeonaxx. But this friday my boyfriend and I decided to go on a ride with my Sandstone drake around Deepholm just for fun, and look for Jadefang. However, the moment we flew out from the Temple of Earth, my NPCscan goes off for both my boyfriend and I, and it takes a few seconds before I actually understands whats going on. At first I thought it was another rare mob, as I had by this time almost completely forgot about Aeonaxx, atleast I had no thoughts of him. I read his name and I couldn't find him anywhere because I was so excited, but my very calm boyfriend simply told me Aeonaxx was right above us, and turning up I saw him circling around going slowly upwards. Flew right to him with no one else around (though, a lot of hardcore campers were at the north spawnpoints), mounted him and killed him in approx. 1 minute.
Hang out there and you will get him someday. This mount is the best looking-mount in game imo. <3

I was flying around Aeo's spawn points brainlessly like I always do...like I've been doing for a great amount of my play time every day...
When my bf opens the door and walks into the room then BOOM Aeonaxx NPCscan alert.
My bf and I were like :O OMG! and I was frantically flying around like a moron bird that I am (lol) looking for him when I finally found him and flew towards him.
It seems you have to be right on top of him then hop on him, because I went near him, clicked and just saw him flying away.
I mounted him and realized I was Resto spec...So what I did was wrath spam him, put dots on him and his babies, then healed myself (those little $%^&ers hit hard!) and went into cat form and for what seemed like forever I clawed and ripped and ferociously bit the back of his stone head until finally...he was dead.
Instead of waiting to slow fall down, I popped into Swift flight and dove down to get the mount I had been waiting so long for..
Keep in mind that it's not 'who deserves the mount more' when it comes to camping and other campers, as I thought when I first started.
You need to persevere and not give up faith...maybe take a little break from camping to do other fun stuff, but always fly around or sit on a spawn point when you decide to go read a book or watch a movie.
I had been camping for weeks on my hunter on a different server, so this saddened me a bit because I somehow knew my druid would get it...because she's had crappy luck on getting mounts for years.
If you'd like any advice or basic knowledge, website reference, etc
You can contact my druid, Moondance of Madoran. (Alliance)

Finally got mine at 4:14 a.m
Spawn location at the South West 1 location. Gave me a heart attack but I'm so happy now.
My only advice guys is don't give up!

Being the spoiled jerk I am...I felt redeemed, like It would be easier to find him on the other two toons I'd like to (and was hoping to get him on rather than my druid).
I log into my Hunter in Quartzite at 7:55pm on the Daggerspine server and after loading both npcscans went off.
I see the other hardcore camper flying around clueless...we both go to stonecore entrance and /cry /comforted each other.
Then I went on my horde alt who was in the area camping and asked in general 'who got 'you know who' , to my surprise it was not a hardcore camper...someone who was just going to a guildie to get an enchant who happened to see him and tag him before the others (or me before my loading screen stopped) could get to it.
Before going on my horde alt though, I went to uldum to look for the blue Madexx, I had been looking for a long time for....and BOOM spawn :D
I happily went to tame her, (incoming "wow you scary RPer!) and saw it as a sign from the Rare and RNG gods that it wasn't the time to get it on that character, and that i'd get it when I was meant to.
Also wanted to say that your bf/gf is a good luck charm..
I would camp hardcore when my bf was gone..but when I would camp/look around when he was in the room with me then BAM he would spawn..

Downed 4:15am server time on Sentinels US.
NPCScan went off as I was flying to check for the
Pebble daily
(it wasn't there).
Flew up, hopped on, switched to catform and proceeded to chip away at his health.
The
whelps
were a non-event - they couldn't outdamage the self-healing from
Leader of the Pack
.
Overall, a very fun encounter, with a great reward.

Downed Aeonaxx earlier today.
Server:
Darrowmere
Date:
April 18, 2011
Time of Death:
3:57pm
Server Time
The story:
Went to turn in quests at the Temple of Earth on my level 83 rogue because the server was restarting in 15 minutes. Right when the message "Server Restart in 11:00" appeared, NPC Scan went off, and when I saw it was Aeonaxx, I nearly had a heart attack. Quickly, I switched to my 85, who was logged off in Stormwind, and I rushed to Deepholm.
I flew around the Temple of Earth looking for him, and could not find him. I remember seeing "Server Restart in 5:00". I assumed someone else had got him, since I had been searching for about 6 minutes trying to pick up his trail again. Well, just as I was about to circle the Temple of Earth for a third time trying to find him, I spotted him flying very low (below Stonecore level) just NORTH of
Twilight Terrace
and SOUTHWEST of the
Temple of Earth
.
I saw that nobody was around, and he wasn't mounted, so I jumped on. It was a very easy fight for my main, as a Hunter. I had heard that Hunters were not able to use ranged on him, and thought that would still be the case, so the server restart timer had me worried. Then, I discovered ranged worked, so it wasn't a very long fight.
As soon as the fight was over, and I finished floating down ontop of his corpse resting in a shallow pool in the
Crimson Expanse
, "Server Restart in 2:00" appeared. Cut it close, but I got him!
I'm just happy the server didn't restart WHILE fighting him. What a waste of a spawn that would have been!
Anyways, happy hunting guys! :)

It's 8th day of my camping. First 6 days i was online from 7am to about 1am. Usually i was afking, wondering with a child from room to room, playing, doing daily homeworks. I had both, npcscan and silverdragoon very laud sound. About 2 pm i was eating dinner, then i went to other room for 10min, when i came back to remove afk mark i saw it, he spawned. Still hoped i began to search. Then on General, some guy wrote he found it while lvling, 83lvl. I was so so depressed, really. Then i decided to camp it 24h day and night, its second day of it and nothing. No aeonaxx no bat, no xariona, no anything, while day im flying around temple 1-3 per hour, and really... Nothing, its about 52h from his last spawn. IM camping north spawns near entrance of temple and stonecore. Hope eventually find it. Tlpd i got in 5th day of camping, after 8 spawns of vyragosa, 2 each day, usually 10-12h difference between spawns. Now when i hear nothing its harder than i thought. It makes me wonder if gap between spawns isnt much longer than this 23h, hope i didnt miss anything.
Two days later, camping all the time, day and night - still nothing, please Blizz dont make me cry :< where are u my dragon!
Yeeeee xD i got it :D it spawns above entrance of Temple, exactly where i was camping, so happy!

Just witnessed a blood seeker bat spawn on Sargeras - US. It spawned and then despawned within 10 seconds. Until now i thought they had gotten rid of these little buggers. =/
