Ghost Howl Respawn rate?

Anyone have an idea how long it takes him to respawn one site says that he is a 'rare'

But my friend just tamed him and he was not a silver dragon. I want one for my lowbie hunter too!

I don't really know about Ghost Howl's respawn time, but here's a bit of info on him:

He USED to be a rare spawn. This was changed because he drops an item that leads into a quest. So he probably has a fairly low spawn time now.

Hope it helps and good luck!

Actually, he's ALWAYS dropped the item :P

I've been around there a few times; the respawn rate when he was a rare was probably a few hours, but now that he's lost his silver portrait, I can normally find him. It's still a longish respawn, perhaps even a half hour. But I generally find him East of Thunder Bluff, pathing widely around the Grimtotem camp (near the small Horde quest giver camp).

Alright, thank you. Been looking for about 20 mins with no sign of him, will come back and try again I think later.

Gonna corpse run to get Duskstalker for my goblin right now I think

If by corpse-run you mean die repeatedly then good luck :D But I heard a rumor on here last week or so, in case you're trying it by the run-as-a-ghost-relog-and-gy-res trick; apparently that way may have been fixed. I recall someone saying they ghost-ran across half of a continent, logged back in and were sent back to where they died upon ressing : /

The key is to think about Ghost Howl. On my lowbie Paladin BovineBeauty, i thought "Hey not seen Ghost Howl yet I wodner whre he is." Take two steps forward and hey presto there he goes.

I've never seen a wild Sholazer rare bar Aotona who flew into my Starfall, twice :) My mother's Druid is the lucky one as she's forever getting stupidly low drop things, world drops, rares appearing...

This is the mob that if you complete that quest the guy says "You killed Ghost Howl, you stud!" right?

You killed Ghost Howl. You're a Stud!

...I'm female... Okay? O.o


:D

On a related note, if anyone on Nagrand EU Horde-side ever needs a char (lowbie alt or not) flown to any strange pet-related locations, I'm happy to oblige. I have 310%, guild + speed and a Sandstone Drake and am always ready for adventure ;)

^ Sounds uncomfortably like a personal ad...

He used to be transparent - but it was a looong time back, like 2006 or 2007; I vaguely remember it from my early days and I've been able to find comments from others dated back then talking about his transparency, but the only images I've been able to turn up were taken more recently.

I was in age old vanilla myself and I always remember him being solid... But this was back in 2005 or so mind.
