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 :(

      The proportion (or number of iterations) has nothing to with this aspect of Copyright I am describing. In short, it doesn't matter how many times the manager tells you to change something or how. Your work product is always YOURS until and unless you then assign that to the person representing the client/company, usually for financial compensation -- either in salary or as a subcontract work for hire payment. if iterations determined copyright, then businesses would have learned to just keep making changes until they could claim they owned the copyright, without having to compensate the artist for their work. And that would be BAD. The only place where the amount of changes does have a role is in how much does a human modify a previous public domain work (from any source) before it is considered fair use or their own work, etc. For example, if a human makes substantial changes to a public domain (re: AI, by definition) work, then they can then claim that derivative work as their own...but NEVER the original version, of course. That's why anyone can make a movie about Dracula, for example, as long as it is based on the public domain novel, but not if they take new ideas from copyrighted movies made afterwards. As one of the people who personally advised the US Copyright Office on their recent ruling on these very issues, be assured that I specifically used the terminology precisely -- though I made it simple enough for laymen to understand it. If I made this confusing by doing so, I apologize. But, to be clear regarding your assumption that I would agree to your second statement that I quoted above -- the answer is NO. If AI does the work, no matter how much "direction" you give it, it cannot be copyrighted. All AI generated content is in the Public Domain and therefore the copyright cannot be assigned to ANYONE, even you -- until and unless substantial modifications are made to it BY A HUMAN BEING (yourself or a contracted artist/writer/etc.) and then that copyright on the derivative work is legally (in writing) transferred to you. This is a critical distinction. And it is important that people, especially AI sloppers, understand this. For example, YouTube is not paying AI slop generators for the copyright, etc. of their AI slop. What YouTube is doing is sharing AD REVENUE for permission to publish your AI slop. Copyright/ownership/rights never come into it. Importantly, that means that anyone can copy any AI slopware on YouTube, etc. and rehost it anywhere they want, even back on YouTube, and there is nothing legal that YouTube can do about it with regards to copyright protections, ownership, DMCA, etc. Anyone is legally free to use any AI slopware in any way they want. When this ruling was pending, I warned Disney legal of all of this before they did their OpenAI deal -- that it would literally dilute their entire IP portfolio forever. They ignored that warning for the PR and stock bump. But that is why, when the ruling came down last year, Disney quickly extricated themselves from that OpenAI deal, even eating the initial upfront fees -- followed closely by OpenAI ending their entire AI video generating business model. They adjusted their PR release dates to make this less obvious to shareholders, of course. Phew. I hope that this clears up the key distinctions for you and anyone reading. If you have any additional questions or even hypotheticals about AI and Copyright, please feel free to ask.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release by Usama Jawad Windows 11 typically follows an annual update cycle, but Microsoft recently broke that tradition a bit by releasing a "26H1" version in the first half of this year as a "scoped" build for select new silicon PCs only. This version was not available for customers using 24H2 and 25H2 builds, as Microsoft is busy preparing version 26H2 for them, confirmed officially for the first time. In a Windows IT Pro blog, Microsoft has urged IT admins to prepare for the upcoming release of Windows 11 version 26H2. The company has confirmed that this will be a small enablement package (eKB) that will simply light up certain disabled features that are already present in the operating system's code base. This means that the "refined" Windows update and deployment experience will be simpler and quicker, with minimal disruptions, as the feature update will simply toggle a few flags rather than performing a complete replacement. Microsoft has explained that this is all possible because the standard Windows 11 releases share the same servicing branch and hence, the same source code. However, this also means that Windows 11 26H1 users won't be able to upgrade to 26H2 as that is a different branch, but this is something we have known for a while now. Similar to previous annual feature updates, Windows 11 26H2 will offer the following support cycles: 24 months of support for Home, Pro, Pro EDU, and Pro for Workstations editions 36 months of support for Enterprise, Education, IoT Enterprise, and Enterprise Multi-session editions Microsoft has not confirmed a concrete release date for Windows 11 26H2, but noted that it is "coming soon". If we go by the ongoing release cadence, we can expect it to begin rolling out in early October 2026. As such, IT admins have been encouraged to begin validating Windows Insider releases in the Experimental Channel, plan rollout rings, and strategize the utilization of their existing deployment tools.
