Long-Forgotten Hippogryph Found
TLDR: There are 5 crystals in Azsuna that you need to click on within 8 hours without dying. The challenge, however, is getting the crystals to spawn.

Re: Long-Forgotten Hippogryph Found
It's voidtalon 2.0 only with 5 crystals instead of 1 portal, it seems. And we don't even know if all spawns have been found, as I type this only one mount has been confirmed and thus only 5 spawns have been confirmed.

Re: Long-Forgotten Hippogryph Found
I wonder if the crystals would spawn in the same locations or general vicinity of it... Just from the way it was found and everything, it might be possible that the spawn timer and the locations of them could be randomized.

Re: Long-Forgotten Hippogryph Found
Is there any theme to it? The mount has the flavour text "You are the only one who remembered" but it doesn't seem to tie into the method of gaining it at all, at least that I could see. Just curious if there's text during the quest that links it.

Re: Long-Forgotten Hippogryph Found
And that's it.
I think Kosumoth was more clever. In game hints (pebbles that matched the broken isles map & orb locations), hidden caves.. These crystals, however, had nothing to do with anything really... No one would have even known crystals would somehow be involved if people didn't data-mine and discover that the hippogryph was summoned by exactly five crystal auras. So it was a hunch, a hunch that paid off.
I really hope Blizzard adds more secrets but ones with stories and in-game clues so we don't have to turn to datamining. :/ Like gara... how would we have known where the items were except through blind luck?

After the mess with Kusomoth's crystals (I'm still stuck on orb nine because of spawn trolling campers) I'll probably wait until flying just to get around the headache.Samskeyti wrote:I'm tempted to wait till we have flying. It will make it so much easier to gather the crystals.

Re: Long-Forgotten Hippogryph Found
I like hidden stuff in the game but what does crystals have to do with a long forgotten hippogryph? I was really hoping for some flavor/history with this. The forgotten coast in Feralas was a *PERFECT* spot to include in the hunt, if for no other reason than flavor. *sigh* disappointed in this but c'est la vie!
So we have to click 5 crystals in 8 hours without dying. I assume the crystals have an absurdly long respawn timer to (I guess it wouldn't be rare if they didn't). I can't wait for someone to click 4 and miss the 5th because it didn't spawn. I give them A+ for thinking outside the box here but good god. Also PvP servers?
Sorry, some of these design changes (including class stuff like the Misdirect/Mend Pet CD) are making me pissy

Re: Long-Forgotten Hippogryph Found
But we still don't know if all 5 are up/visible at the same time. It could be that one spawns, but once clicked the 2nd spawns immediately, then the third and so on.

Re: Long-Forgotten Hippogryph Found
Nope only 5 up and however gets the 5th crystal gets it. So you could be on the 4th one and someone gets the 5th before you then it restarts so you have to do it all over again when it respawns again which seems to be an extremely long respawn timer. If you die you are screwed and have to go back and get them all over again. If you DC you are also screwed and have to get them all over again. Its an evil evil evil thing to do to people.. I can forsee some people quitting because of it lol.Lupen202 wrote:If one crystal spawns, then that means you can go find 5 and get the mount asap. So there's no way someone could find 4 but not a 5th because it isn't up yet, they aren't on individual spawn timers.

Re: Long-Forgotten Hippogryph Found
What we don't know is exactly how the spawns work. There's very few confirmed mounts at this point.
What I'm saying is, it's entirely possible that when the crystals spawn, ONE of the five crystals is immediately visible. You have to find it, then when clicked it spawns the second. Find and click the second and in turn it'll spawn the third. Then click the third and it spawns the fourth... Click the fourth and it'll finally spawn the fifth.
If that make sense?
Edit:
AHHHH
