Re: Auri and the hunt for Aeo

Hey there! You're just as obsessive over Aeonaxx as I am! I got him after about a month of staying tuned to that area. I first started questing there to level up and stay around in case he spawned. Well, the entire time I was doing quests there--never even saw him...
Then, during a patrol one Sunday night (I do patrols several times per day I rarely camp spots for hours at a time), Xariona spawned. I put together a raid group and we all downed her. It was huge excitement because she was the first rare Dragon I had seen at that point. Guess who spawns RIGHT as we're all rolling for gear? Aeonaxx! Well, annoyingly another person from the raid got him before me. SECONDS before me. But I was excited that I actually SAW him in game. I was so sick of looking at other people's screen caps. Hehe.
Well, throughout the next week I saw a couple dudes with the Phos Stone Drake, and I asked them about it. And oddly enough, they both had gotten their Aeonaxx on a Sunday. Not to mention, one fella said another guy he knew had gotten the drake on Sunday/Monday. So, I made sure that following Sunday/Monday (Which was actually this past Christmas morning) that I'd stay around Deepholm. We were doing pvp and dungeons but I was staying there so I could scan after each one. After a disappointing Dungeon, guess who spawned for me Christmas morning? The gorgeous boy, Aeonaxx. OMG. Best Christmas gift ever. Haha! No one was in sight. It was like 2am, 4am server time. It was one of the most fun rare hunting experiences ever. What a fun fight... I love it. If he was BOE I would hunt him again just for the fight experience!
So, my BEST advice here is to ask people who have the Phos drake on your server WHAT DAY they got their Aeonaxx. You might be surprised to see a pattern. So far, all the folks on my server that have a Phos drake got there's Sunday or early Monday. He's not really a common mount to see on my server but those who do have him say the same day!
TLPD drives me nuts. I just saw him killed earlier tonight. GRIPES!
Good luck and hang in there, you'll get him!!!
