[Lupen202]

Been checking everywhere for Spirit raptor, spirit gryphon, purple hippo, corrupted hippo.... Would have loved to have found at least one by now. I really wonder if the corrupted is somewhere in Nighthold, considering it's called "elisande's pet", she'd want to keep it close. But I checked everywhere outside the instance, and can't actually enter the raid (transfer aborted) let alone get a group together. Checked all over tomb of sargeras as well, and felsoul hold.

Spirit raptor... name is Gon. Raptor loa is Gonk, worshipped by the Zandalari.. so could be a hint. But again, friend & I have checked all Zandalari areas (Isle of thunder, isle of giants, outside MSV, outside ZA, etc.), as well as other troll/raptor areas like Zul'drak, STV, Gorgrond, arathi highlands, hinterlands...

I'm also pretty depressed the spirit gryphon isn't on the mountain next to Kirthaven in Twilight highlands - it's so perfect! Lots of graves with gryphon feathers strewn about.

I also don't know what their timers are and all these restarts could be messing them them. Or they have a summon like Snowblind and I'm just blind.

P.S: If anyone wants a place they can use to chat together and share ideas, etc., you're more than welcome to use the Secret finders discord. It's been used to hunt down other secrets like the Long-forgotten hippogryph and Kosumoth, so why not hunter pets as well?

Edit: And the only tameable saddled gryphon is in the DK starting zone. Thanks Blizzard http://ptr.wowdb.com/npcs/28614-scarlet-gryphon

[Valnaaros]

Gonk is specifically worshipped by the Troll Druids of thr Darkspear Tribe, but I don't think that him and Gon are related. Just a similar name.

Also, it is entirely possible that we can't find them in the ptr. It was impossible to find Kosumoth and the Long-forgotten Hippogryph during Beta because the means to spawn them weren't added till live in order to prevent them from being found early.

[Lupen202]

Yeah wouldn't be surprised at this point. Feel like I've checked everywhere. At least I know I would have found them if they were just sitting there, as I've spammed a macro the entire time.

[Quiv]

Also, it is entirely possible that we can't find them in the ptr.

I really hope to goodness they tell us if this is the case to prevent people from wasting hours (plural) on the PTR. Total dick move if not. I'm still miffed about the Lost Hipp mount thing. Spent soooo much time on beta about that.

[Valnaaros]

I doubt they will, since they haven't for much bigger hidden things. Shoot, they just recently told Rogues that the xmog helm they had been searching for since launch wasn't actually working.

[zedxrgal]

This is going to be a long shot but on live in Aszuna when I use my flight master's whistle I kept getting a spectral gryphon. It only happened in Aszuna and I never got any of the other called mounts but the spectral gryphon. Again I know it's live and not the PTR and probably is nothing but has anyone checked there?

What about Dun Morogh, Loch Modan, Searing Gorge and the Badlands?? They're all part of Khaz Modan so heavy dwarf influence /story.

For the raptor what about the Echo Isles?

[Valnaaros]

The mount summoned by the whistle is random and depends on the zone you're in. I've also gotten the Gryphon, but I've also gotten Hippogryphs and Drakes.

Echo Isles is a possibility, but dangerous to Alliance. Most of the isles, if not all, are occupied by Horde npcs that'll spawn lvl 120 guards.

That makes it adventurous though!

[Lupen202]

When I say I've checked everywhere I mean it xD friend and I spent hours last night into the morning. And Karoma was up, so I know the servers didn't restart recently.

I checked ghost lands, both plaguelands, tirisfal, hinterlands, arathi, wetlands, loch Modan, dun morogh, twilight highlands, badlands, gorgrond, tanaan jungle, kunlai (by isle of giants), thunder isle, felwood, feralas, azshara, suramar, azsuna, valsharah, broken shore... but no signs of kitten, purple hippo, corrupted, spectral raptor or spectral gryphon.

Friend of mine checked stv, ice crown, dragonblight (bunch of spectral gryphons on the coast), echo isles, zul'drak, storm peaks, shadowmoon valley (new and old), hellfire peninsula and double checked a lot of the zones I had been in.

Of course like I said I was spamming macro flying around, so I cold have easily missed an item if it was used to summon, though certain spots I thought were more fitting I tried to pay extra attention to. Nada.

[Valnaaros]

As I said, there is a fair chance that we can't find them till live.

[Lupen202]

Yes I know, I'm just replying to Zed and sharing where I've already checked.

[zedxrgal]

No worries. I tried to read back several pages to ensure I didn't ask when it had already been searched.

As sucky as it would be I almost have the sneaking suspicion (like already said) they're just not in yet. If these are quest related like Gara I could see it taking some time to fully implement.

My bet on the corrupted hippo is outland Shadowmoon Valley. Probably wrong but it's a great place for it. Or that demon forest place (can't remember the name) is the Blasted Lands.

Is the large island of the coast of Feralas accessable?

[Valnaaros]

The thing with the Corrupted Hippogryph is that it is Elisande's pet. That means that the only place that would make sense for it to be in is Suramar. If it wasn't for that, then anywhere that is fel-corrupted is fair game.

[Talihawk]

Doesn't Elisande have a 'room' inside the raid? Has anyone check her suite? Maybe it's there.

[Zulmalakhan]

Question, have you tried lore related dungeons for the new tames?
suggestions for spectral pets : halls of valor, maw of souls, black rook hold and the new kharazan? place is full of ghosts and the dead, the halls of valor even has it's own zone for dead pets, where you fight fenrir.

suggestions for the corrupted hippogryph : darkheart thicket, arcway, you could also try in outland ( and on old Draenor in tanaan jungle ) near alliance bases for them and mayyyyybe caverns of time in mount hijal near the night elf base


as for the spirit raptor ( sooo glad we finally get a spirit raptor, sooo sad it is not fel corrupted since this is a demon infested expansion it was one of the few chances we could get to have a fel raptor pet )
try searching on isle of thunder in the troll camps, the barrens and in ungoro ( the place has been getting lots of attention from blizz lately, new hearthstone expack, ungoro mini event in the summer and all that )


also is oondasta or any other armored dino ( direhorns too ) tameable yet?

[Valnaaros]

The suite doesn't exist outside of the raid. We are unable to access the raid in the ptr, and even if we could, we would have to clear to Gul'dan in order to access it.

There isn't anything in the Halls of Valor. I checked earlier this week and Fenryr is still untamable. I doubt they would put something in current content. Old content, sure, but not something relevant and in the way.

As I have said, the Corrupted Hippogryph would have to be in Suramar due to it being Elisande's pet.

The Isle of Thunder, Barrens, Un'goro, etc have already been searched by Lupen, myself, and others. Nothing. We are starting to believe that, like others things this xpac, that we can't find them till Live.

Sadly, no, they aren't tamable yet :/

[Zulmalakhan]

we must hope they will be available soon

thank you for the quick reply

[Valnaaros]

Just one of those things we'll have to wait and see. Blizz usually will not say whether something is implemented or not, or even if it works. As I mentioned a bit ago, the Mask of Artful Dodging was supposed to be obtainable since Legion's launch. Several GMs claimed that it was working fine, but it wasn't until recently that Blizz actually investigated it and learned that it was actually broken. I wish it didn't work this way, but sadly it does

You bet
