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 :(

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files

      This seems backwards. You should have to explicitly authorize files for outside use. It shouldn't be the default.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Steven P. · Posted

      Wow you are right, I never even noticed this until you said it! (870E Aorus Master) Before testing this card I had a TP-Link tx401 10GbE PCIe card in that slot (now using XikeStor 310 Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter).

      Lack of 5.1 makes this a no sale. What I really wish creative would make would be a USB version that supports 5.1 analog audio for speakers, can switch to headphone mode, and matches the specs of their top tier cards. The current X870E AMD motherboards dont have a great option for adding a PCIE x1 card without cutting down pcie lanes to the graphics card.
    • The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot by Usama Jawad I have been actively using Microsoft Word for the past couple of decades in academic, professional, and personal capacities. Although I used it through the perpetual version of Office apps at the start, I have been an active subscriber of Microsoft 365 Family subscription for over five years now. This means that my Word installation is regularly updated with new features, some of which I don't really like, but that's beside the point. As new features get continuously added, old ones that used to be a staple of Word have started to take a backseat. While I was reminiscing over my Windows experiences from my childhood today, I suddenly remember one such capability that I heavily used in my younger years but have not really touched in over a decade, and haven't seen in documents created by others either. That feature is WordArt. Just to clarify, WordArt is not a Microsoft product specific to Word, and is included in other Office apps like PowerPoint and Excel too. However, Microsoft Word is the app that I used Word Art in heavily, while making assignments or other deliverables for school. If you're unaware, WordArt offers a collection of styling techniques for text, introducing 3D effects like shadows and reflections in the text. It used to be one of the coolest things ever when I was at school and me and my classmates would often compete to ensure that our assignment's title in WordArt was truly the best and stood out above the rest. See some examples of WordArt, still present in the latest versions of Word below: Although WordArt is undeniably cool, it has taken a bit of a backseat, and has been relegated from the Home tab to the Insert toolbar, along with a bunch of other utilities, making it very easy to miss. This isn't exactly surprising because WordArt doesn't really have a place in academic and professional documents anymore, and while I have seen some creatives using it while developing promo material, even that sector has gravitated more towards dedicated graphic designing tools in the past years. For the vast majority of us, WordArt doesn't really exist, and that's alright. At least, it's still an option that can allow us to reminisce our childhood or even make some quick text stylization, if we really need it. Perhaps its usage has waned over time or the novelty has worn off, but I haven't even seen children use it in their academic assignments anymore. In fact, many don't even know that it exists. Maybe that's the fate of every beloved feature. What once felt cutting edge eventually becomes a relic, quietly tucked away as tastes, trends, and technology move on. WordArt may no longer dominate school assignments or decorate the covers of classroom projects, but for those of us who grew up with it, it remains a colorful reminder of a time when making text glow, bend, and cast giant shadows felt like the height of creativity. Hidden behind a few clicks in modern Word, it still survives not as a productivity tool, but as a small piece of computing nostalgia that refuses to disappear.
