Anyone else trying to get the Time Lost Proto Drake? Good god this thing is rare as hell. I have spent the past few weeks going along all the spawn points. It ridiculous.

This has a 1 in a 13 week spawn timer.

1 in 12 it was spawn Vyragosa, the other time it will spawn the drake. You could literally sit above the Engine of the Makers for 12 weeks non-stop and not have it spawn at all.

A good addon to get if you haven't got it allready is NPCSCAN + NPCSCAN_Overlay. One detects the rares, the other overlays their positions/routes on the blizzard map.

As you can see, 7 more to get :)

Not quite correct. Time-lost follows the standard rare-spawn timer system however it shares a spawn timer with 2 other rares. Once the server decides that they're to be spawned (which off the top of my head is at least 24 hours after a server reset but no where near 13 weeks as you said), it will randomly select one of the three. The other matter is that it has roughly 3 or 4 different areas it can spawn at and fly around so even if it is chosen to spawn, it's more likely to be at a spot you aren't.

I'm told the "easiest" place to spot him (given all the above conditions) is around the valley south of Ulduar since his flight-path there is closest to being straight. Practically though, just using an addon while doing you dailies and whatnot is the best idea.

I got mine about 6 months ago right near the Engine of the Makers.

Love it, pretty rare mount to see. I also rolled a 100 on the Onyxian Drake, but gave it away cause I was on an alt :pinch:

Hit 69, and when I ran LFG it put me into my first WOTLK dungeon :D

Got two nice pala drops

Ingvar's Monolithic Cleaver - http://thottbot.com/i35576

Chestplate of the Northern Lights - http://thottbot.com/i35574

Cleaver should be good for me to replace Voined Axe at 70, and chestplate is for healing but it's nice to have. This axe looks better, but more work to obtain - http://thottbot.com/i38237

I've noticed instead of handing me loot bags for LFG it's handing me these purple marks or something, for level 80 I know they're for trading in for items.

2 a day I think it is.

I'll hit 70 easily today by doing some runs, 3/4 of the way there. The two quests for uptgarde keep or whatever it's called give good exp... but man that instance is boring as hell.

I made the noob mistake of standing around the last boss when he was rezzed first time, died :p Gotta learn along the way! :laugh:

Unless they changed the spawn time of it that was what it said on the thottbot page when some dude worked it out, sorry I just quoted from that, since I have never seen Dirkee, Vygrosa or Time Lost at all since getting Lich. Figured it was true about the 1 in 13 thing.

Is there a time limit on closing your account before it gets deleted or anything?

I hadn't played it for about 6 months due to being busy with other stuff so i stopped the payments. I've left it installed and do want to go back to it when my work load drops.

Can i just re-subscribe and be able to use my existing characters and continue where i left off?

I don't remember the exact words off the top of my head, but Blizzard will never delete your account/characters, they reserve the right to do so after a set period of time, but they never did such thing.

Of course. Blizzard does not delete any accounts.

no just 1000G

Some riding skill costs 3000G, I assume that's for the higher up mounts.

You need to be lvl 77 and pay 1000g for Cold Weather Flying Training.

Ouch you need to wait to 77 just to be able to fly :(

    • A 13 billion year old secret about our Universe's origin was revealed

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      A 13 billion year old secret about our Universe's origin was revealed by Sayan Sen Image by Pascal Küffer via Pexels Researchers at the Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik (MPIK) in Heidelberg had recreated a key chemical reaction from the early universe, producing results that could change scientists' understanding of how the first stars formed. The study focused on the helium hydride ion (HeH⁺), which is widely regarded as the first molecule to form in the universe. Scientists believe HeH⁺ appeared around 380,000 years after the Big Bang, when the universe had cooled enough for electrons and atomic nuclei to combine into neutral atoms in a period known as recombination. This marked the beginning of chemistry in the cosmos. Immediately after the Big Bang about 13.8 billion years ago, the universe was extremely hot and dense. As it expanded and cooled, hydrogen and helium became the dominant elements. Once neutral helium atoms formed, they could react with ionised hydrogen nuclei, or protons, to create helium hydride ions. Although simple in structure, HeH⁺ played an important role in the young universe. It was the first step in a chain of reactions that eventually produced molecular hydrogen (H₂), a molecule made up of two hydrogen atoms and now the most abundant molecule in the universe. Molecular hydrogen later became a key ingredient in the formation of the first stars. At the time, the universe had entered a phase often called the cosmological "dark age." Matter had become transparent to light following recombination, but there were still no stars or galaxies producing visible light. Several hundred million years would pass before the first stars appeared. For those first stars to form, large clouds of gas had to collapse under their own gravity. To do that, the gas needed to cool by releasing energy. While hydrogen atoms can help with this process at high temperatures, they become less effective below about 10,000 degrees Celsius. Molecules can continue the cooling process by releasing energy through rotational and vibrational motions. Scientists have long considered HeH⁺ a potentially important coolant because of its comparatively large dipole moment, a property that describes how electric charge is distributed within a molecule and allows it to release energy efficiently. The amount of helium hydride present in the early universe may therefore have influenced how easily the first stars could form. At the same time, HeH⁺ was constantly being destroyed. Under primordial conditions, its main destruction mechanisms were recombination with free electrons and chemical reactions with hydrogen atoms. These reactions ultimately helped produce molecular hydrogen, linking the formation and destruction of HeH⁺ to the chemistry that shaped the early universe. For many years, theoretical studies suggested that reactions between HeH⁺ and hydrogen atoms would become much slower at low temperatures. Scientists believed there was an energy barrier along the reaction pathway that reduced the chances of the reaction taking place in the cold conditions of the early universe. The new study suggests otherwise. To investigate the process, researchers recreated a closely related reaction using deuterium, a naturally occurring isotope of hydrogen that contains one proton and one neutron in its nucleus. When HeH⁺ collides with deuterium, it forms an HD⁺ ion and a neutral helium atom. This allows scientists to study the reaction in a controlled way while closely mimicking the behaviour of the original reaction involving hydrogen. The experiments were carried out at the Cryogenic Storage Ring (CSR) at MPIK, a specialised facility designed to recreate conditions similar to those found in space. Researchers stored HeH⁺ ions in the 35-metre storage ring for up to 60 seconds at temperatures just a few kelvins above absolute zero and merged them with a beam of neutral deuterium atoms. By adjusting the speeds of the two particle beams, the team measured how the reaction rate changed with collision energy, which is directly related to temperature. The researchers found that the reaction rate remains almost constant as temperatures decrease. In other words, the reaction does not slow down at low temperatures as earlier models predicted. “Previous theories predicted a significant decrease in the reaction probability at low temperatures, but we were unable to verify this in either the experiment or new theoretical calculations by our colleagues,” explained Dr Holger Kreckel of MPIK. “The reactions of HeH⁺ with neutral hydrogen and deuterium therefore appear to have been far more important for chemistry in the early universe than previously assumed,” he continued. According to the researchers, the reaction appears to be barrierless, meaning there is no energy obstacle preventing it from taking place efficiently even at very low temperatures. The findings support recent theoretical work led by physicist Yohann Scribano, whose group identified an error in a widely used potential energy surface, a mathematical model used to describe how the energy of a system changes during a chemical reaction. The error appears to have caused previous studies to significantly underestimate reaction rates under primordial conditions. The new calculations closely match the experimental results. Together, they suggest that helium chemistry in the early universe may need to be re-evaluated. Because molecules such as HeH⁺ and molecular hydrogen played an important role in cooling primordial gas clouds, the findings could help scientists build more accurate models of how the first stars formed. By showing that helium hydride was likely destroyed more efficiently than previously thought, the study offers new insight into the chemical processes that shaped the universe during its earliest stages and helped set the conditions for the emergence of the first stars.

      It could EASILY be 70 for the base game BUT + lots of FOMO to make it up to 100-120, like a few days Early Access, online money, pre-order bonus cars, weapons, missions, clothing, avatars or profile stuff, etc... And still WAY TOO MANY people would buy those and make Rockstar insane money.
