I’d like to suggest a small improvement to the Soundless rare in Nazjatar, especially since Nazjatar is now cross-realm and farming Silent Glider has become extremely frustrating.
Suggested Improvements (apply one or all):
Fixed spawn location – like Sha of Anger.
Shorter respawn time – 2 to 4 hours is too much.
Higher mount drop rate – to reward the time investment.
Also, consider a hotfix like what you did for Sha of Anger:
When Soundless spawns, make it invulnerable for the first 7 seconds to give everyone a fair chance before it’s one-shotted.
Thanks for reading, and I hope you consider improving this for mount collectors!
They already upped the drop rate in BFA, i farmed it for myself and a friend by killing it once per day, took us maybe 7-8 days for it to drop for both of us.
The issue is that there are always 5 Druids camping all the spots. When the rare spawns, they one-shot it, so every time I see the rare, it’s already dead and I can’t even hit it.
If I tell how I got my Silent Glider or Time Lost drake… coughs
“If I speak I’m in big trouble.” (c)
But yes, this is fair suggestion:
May be not with invulnerability, because after 7 seconds anyways it can be oneshoted before other players can tag it. (Monke Death Touch while Hunter’s arcane arrow still is flying)
May be 99% damage reduction type of thing or even 100% to counter said Monk shenanigans.
As for the drop/spawn rate, I’m not sure, as that’s ultimately what makes this mount rare. Its not hard to kill, but its pure luck to get both spawn and drop variables together.
You either extremely dedicated or extremely lucky if you have one.
I mean it in more “I was extremely lucky” way with these mounts and people would eat me alive for that, and the gnomes have only recently shed their associations with the word “snack.”
Didn’t knew that map is actually doesn’t load up if there is no players, good to know!
But as for Soundless, I think I’ve only seen this rare 3 times. Two times when i was doing Nazjatar meta achievement and one time was today, when i parked my hunter at the corals after this discussion, was curious about spawn rate. Spotted it in the night with WarMode off, so i think someone was in Nazjatar when im logged in, because another my hunter was parked there with WarMode on and nothing was there.
I have characters only on Argent Dawn, which is RP realm, but i saw couple of people flying around corals too, so the spot is also have competitors on my realm.
So i think best strategy will be indeed just stay AFK there, hoping for the best.
And i want to withdraw my proposal regarding “rare protection”, because even if it will be as i said 99% or 100% damage reduction, hunters still can tame it 5 sec (Uh-oh…)
But i have another suggestion to make every rare is lvl-scaled to current player’s level, it is indeed easy to do and you don’t need to add any new spells to any rare, sounds fair on paper.
