Nili's Mount Journal [Farewell WoW and Petopia!]

[Nili]

It explains how their mythology started, since Ginger Snap's werewolf mythology is a little...different from all the others.
I'm so bored here camping, I'm playing Bejeweled..x.x

You said Ponderance was leaving so I went to have a look, and one thing I read on his 'goodbye message' urked me. Did you see what he wrote about Arcturis having a second spawn spot as well? He said he planned to write the information or something but never did, and left us in the dark as to what he was talking about. I'm confused and intrigued now.

[Nili]

Yeah I was wondering that too. I might go have a look around Grizzly for that second spot after I'm done here.
I'd hate for fellow hunters to miss out on that burr he is loff <3

[Snowy]

I hate to say it, since Pond has done so much for us, but somehow I have a feeling he might be having us on. I mean, a second spawn point that, after years of WotLK being out, hasn't been found? And not only that but he leaves with nothing more than a message saying 'Arcturis has a second spawn spot' and that's all, no info, nothing. Seems strange. Might have to try and get in contact with him.

Edit: Now I read it again, he says he didn't have the time to go and get the information. So basically he's passing on his speculation as fact? Hurr.

[Nili]

Sounds strange. o.o
Let me know if you do manage to get in contact with him. His website has been a godsend for me.

[Nili]

Just had an awesome conversation with a guildie.
[Guild] [Dimozh]: is there a timer on today from bloodseeker?
[Guild] [Niliana]: no, not spotted anything since Friday
Gaspar has gone offline.
[Guild] [Dimozh]: well aint there a realm resart on th 2nd of november. maby and opportuntiy there?
[Guild] [Niliana]: yep server restart every wednesday usually. My day to sleep in if it goes late
[Toxicwaste] has come online.
[Guild] [Dimozh]: i here alot of storys about TLPD with people using groups to find it
[Guild] [Niliana]: yep, you can do that with Aeonaxx as well
[Guild] [Niliana]: Infact, Flaire, after I get him, I'll use kitty's account to help you camp for him. And Kitty isn't a rare mount type of person, so if he spawns after mine, he's all yours
[Guild] [Dimozh]: can u track every aeonaxx spawn/kill from realm data base?
[Guild] [Flaire]: Thanks Nili
[Guild] [Niliana]: gief link for realm data base
[Guild] [Dimozh]: no then
[Guild] [Niliana]: don't think so lol
[Guild] [Dimozh]: googling it
[Guild] [Niliana]: ooh lemme know if you find anything
[Guild] [Dimozh]: ofc
[Tristiane] has come online.
[Guild] [Dimozh]: only thing i found so far, someone said" he spawns every 4-7 days on my server'
[Guild] [Niliana]: hehe, RNG is random for each server.
[Guild] [Niliana]: One some servers he spawns literally every day for a week, then doesn't show up for at least a month
[Guild] [Niliana]: there's a myth of a ''force spawn'' the 15 minutes before servers go down for maintenance or restarts, been here for one of those times, he didn't spawn.
[Guild] [Dimozh]: i know 3 people on the server who have him...
[Guild] [Niliana]: Besides I like my sleep
[Guild] [Niliana]: I know..lemme count..
[Guild] [Niliana]: five people
[Guild] [Niliana]: all but one (''The Other Guy'') got him on a random flyby
[Guild] [Dimozh]: i try to force things to drop in wow by jumping b4 boss dies.....
[Guild] [Niliana]: hehe
[Guild] [Dimozh]: so 5 people in 10 months average is at least 1 every 2 months
[Guild] [Niliana]: nah, I've missed 5 spawns during my camp, so more often than that
[Guild] [Dimozh]: probly more than that
[Guild] [Merudinblood]: where are [Small Glimmering Shard] good for
[Guild] [Niliana]: enchanting
[Guild] [Merudinblood]: ok
[Guild] [Dimozh]: u need to iron out these mistakes
[Guild] [Niliana]: lol iron out these mistakes? I can't devote myself any more to this drake without risking my marriage and my own health.
[Guild] [Niliana]: I'll get him in my own time
[Guild] [Dimozh]: alright
Angramainyu has gone offline.
[Guild] [Niliana]: I was emergency healing a raid for the first one I missed, I was sick in bed for the next two (spawned twice in a row), I helped a guildie get her VP cap on the 4th spawn, then ''The Other Guy'' stole the 5th one.
[Olwëséregon] has come online.
[Guild] [Dimozh]: so your getting close then
[Guild] [Niliana]: I have researched up to my eyeballs for this mount, I spent probably 14 hours a day sittin in deepholm. But at the end of the day he's a pixel. I'm not going to turn to my husband and go ''I'm sorry babe, no sex for the next *insert weeks here*''
[Guild] [Dimozh]: real life wins everytime
[Olwëséregon] has earned the achievement [Journeyman Fisherman]!
[Guild] [Niliana]: I'm not going to let my raid group down over a drake either, they need my 22k+ dps, they need me there. My husband needs me, my guild needs me, my friends need me, my cats need me.
[Guild] [Hirashna]: thats the right attitude <3
[Guild] [Niliana]: I'll get him, but not at the risk of losing everything that matters to me
[Guild] [Hirashna]: nope, a pixel is not worth that

Bloodseeker number ELEVEN!


12:22 pm.
We can do this!
6 hour break!
Gonna play on my lock and do whatever else I want for the rest of the day

[Serenith]

Last night I was trying to explain how much of a troll Blood Seeker is to my bf... he thought the concept of a level 15 creature in Deepholm was a joke. And when I explained how he only stays up a few seconds made him really ponder what Blizzard was thinking when they put him there. Stupid Blood Seeker.

[Nili]

I theorize that Blizz doesn't want us to camp Aeonaxx, so they put bloodseeker in and made him despawn after 5 seconds. I've only ever caught a glimpse of him, thank god for npc scan lol. I am greatful to the bloodseeker, he comes and pops his head out saying ''Aeonaxx doesn't wanna play yet, check back later'' and I can get on with whatever I want

[Atalanta]

God damn that rotten little bat. ¬_¬

[Snowy]

I theorize that Blizz doesn't want us to camp Aeonaxx

I have no proof of this but I could pretty much confirm that this is true. You'll simply have to take my word for it. I've had a number of chats with GMs before about Aeonaxx and all of them have told me that Aeonaxx wasn't an NPC that was made to be camped. They thought that it should be something that one lucky person might see while in Deepholm. That also explains why he doesn't despawn as well; since he spawns so rarely, they want that rare chance to go to someone who was there at the right time.

However they should have known better. If they'd noted that people camped for the TLPD then this might be a bit different. For a start, they probably would have had a proper placeholder model, rather than a tiny bat which can only be seen in minimum range and only spawns for the minimum amount of time. Obviously Blood Seeker wasn't something that was meant to be found. Aeonaxx might also despawn like the TLPD if Blizz understood that people camp for these things.

I could go on about this for ages, rare spawns have always fascinated me since I found out about them. I love trying to figure them out!

[Nili]

I was always led to believe that he does despawn? Oh if this is true that he doesn't, I might log in early morning when I have a pee to check on him. We don't have overnight campers anymore. The last guy who was after him had his NPC scan bug on him so he quitting coming in deepholm, then he stopped playing altogether. This is great news to hear, Chaoyll, I've been so paranoid that I have to catch that ten minute despawn timer. Thank you lol

[meepitco]

Good luck Nili. I wish you the best of luck on this blasted drake!

[Snowy]

I was always led to believe that he does despawn? Oh if this is true that he doesn't, I might log in early morning when I have a pee to check on him.

No problem! I believe some of the very first theories that he may not despawn came from this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPXYArL9IjE

Personally, I don't like that video at all because of the fact he mounts it only to let himself be killed to prove Aeonaxx despawns if you get killed on it. This was something we probably all guessed would happen in the first place and not many people are dumb enough to let themselves be killed by Aeonaxx's whelps anyway to let this happen, so it really doesn't matter. A bit of a waste of a spawn, imo.

Anyway, I can't personally prove that Aeonaxx doesn't despawn since I've never exactly sat around and stared at it willingly for that long before, but I'm positive I've seen other people on Aeonaxx Resource saying that Aeonaxx doesn't despawn at all and remains flying in small circles (and flying slightly upwards/downwards at the same time, in case you never knew!) until someone mounts him. Then it's up to them to kill him before his whelps kill them.

Oh, and I've seen screenshots of GM conversations that state that Aeonaxx doesn't despawn as well, but never trust the word of a GM too much. They all tell us something different each.

It was also believed that, for a limited time, TLPD never despawned either.

I read into this stuff far too much sometimes. I still watch videos every now and again of Aeonaxx/TLPD kills. I know, like, EVERYTHING that Ponderance ever told us, and possibly more since it was me that came up with the whole 'possible forced spawn around the reset timer' idea. I have a massive thread about it on the TLPD/Aeonaxx Resource forums somewhere, but I can't be arsed to dig around for it now. I reckon I had some pretty good reasoning as to why a forced spawn could be possible too. I never claimed my idea as fact, though, I just thought it was an idea to be seriously considered.

I'll stop blabbering now and let you get on with your hunt hun.

[Neith]

You will find him/her! I am sure of it. I hope it is soon! Geeze Aonaxx needs to show up and say hi to you >.<

[Schwert]

I've always thought Aeonaxx would be a bit easier of a camp because of the spawn timers and the fact he just won't despawn.

Nili, imagine logging in one day and having him waiting ontop of you!

[Nili]

God that would be amazing!

I'm up before the server restart, so let's see what happens.

[Nili]

nope, nothing. Back to sleep for me~ lol

[ShootsAlot]

aeonaxx is just shy to you Nili you need to do what i do every day. Prepare a gnome sacrifice to the RNG gods XD

[Nili]

I do all sorts of things like that, I gathered a bundle of gnomes and threw them from way up high, then made gnome cookies from their squashed bits.. I also ride my mount upside three times, then ride my mechanohog (in case he's grumpy and wants me off his lawn!), then I shout at Porecite to let him come play, I even killed Xaronia.. I guess I'm just too awesome and he's intimidated
I'll catch him when he's least expecting it..NINJA NILI *hiyah*

hehe

Morning world, am up, it's sunny out, and my cats are loving. I have a cup of cocoa (yum mint flavoured) and being nice and ZEN and patient
