Mob is at 56, 42.

Comment by Wealth

Soloable by a lvl 70 MM hunter, only had to heal pet once. :)

Comment by 19320

you will know what target when you see him.. Quite big and at 56,42..
Hes a bit hard.. acid bread that hits for 1k each sec.. and hit for 300-700, but still quite soloble

Comment by 16077

Tooo easy for a warlock, fearable.

Even though I stayed in the magma for 10 seconds and didn't realize and eventually lost about 3000 hp, I recovered and took him. :)

Comment by 12979

I took him really easy as lvl 69 mage, I'm frost spec, but didn't even use my elemental :)

Comment by CynicalBear

L69 Priest Shadowspec took him down in 15 seconds without a single HP loss. All u need to do is just fear him away once and keep nuking = he is dead

Comment by 18104

Very easy as a balance druid (lvl 68). Just roots, some dots and just wrath and starfire (depends and mood) . Didn't even use my dear trees :P

Comment by 23000

69 rogue soloed him easy target

Comment by 26495

Very, Very hard, even with fire pot, I was dominated, took him down to about 50% as a 70 Pally, I couldnt even heal fast enough with that fire breath, idk

Comment by 18798

pretty easy mob, has a lot of hp but as long as you interrupt his breath you'll outlast it. make sure to clear some of the Greater Felfire Diemetrodons around him so you don't accidentally pull one with Felspine.

Comment by jjonessec

now worth 16gold at level 70

Comment by drysocks

Solo 68 Paladin Holy/Proc

Comment by 4638

about 12.5k hitpoints.

Comment by 39058

56, 43 for me =)

Clear the mobs around him because they aren't easy to see, and aggro. He opens with fel breath and it took me from about 5500HP to about 1500HP in just 3 seconds or so. I popped a HP potion, and he was an easy kill.

Comment by 15192

easy kiull guys.just becareful the fire

Comment by 60856

12551 Health hits average low 300s each hit

Comment by Zurik

soloed it as a lvl 67 markmanship hunter, he didn't even attack me, the pet took with all damage.
when he spited all that fire i used silecing shot and he stoped and then it was over, very easy quest in my opinion...

p.s.: u better clear the other mobs around the ramp

Comment by 56903

pretty easy for a 67 rogue, 70 mage combo...

Comment by danix

wtf i killed more than 25 of these and none drop... wtf 70% rate.. ah go burn >=|

Comment by 33920

You're looking for a giant named one. Not the small ones. I'd say the drop rate on the correct mob is closer to 100%

Comment by 76512

I'm lvl 70 Druid, I just landed on the side of the pool and moonfiered him (I'm feral), shifted to cat, combod him up and simply kille dihm with no problems;-) I got lucky and resisted most of the flames a trick, if he's casting, maim.. easy fight:-)

Comment by 81152

"Felspine the Greater" is very easy to kill he only got 12493hp and only do about 250DPS pr hit. He can be found at 56,41 near the bridge in "Ruins of Baa'ri". He is soloable :)

Comment by redandgray

As a 68 BM Hunter, I died the first time because I let my pet get roasted in the fire breath.

Successful strategy: send pet in, then fall back and drop a snake trap between you and your pet. As soon as Felspine starts to cast the fire breath, pull your pet back. Felspine will hit the trap and your pet will live. Send your pet back in and it's all over but the skinnin'.

Comment by 84878

That breath takes a 70 plate wearer down to about 20% health in 1 shot. Plus the green lava hurts, pull him back to the land area to the northwest.

Comment by 86359

make sure you pull it far away enough
i had 2 mobs spawn on my nose when i had it 50% down
still able to kill it and survive

for a MM hunter this must be the easiest gold ever both scatter and silence shot stop the cast

Comment by 91908

Melee for 250-300 on 7k armor (mail w/ shield) with roughly 3.0 attack speed
Casts a breath called 'Fel Flames' every 10-15 seconds. The breath is channeled, deals 1000 fire damage per tick, and lasts 4-5 ticks.
Yielded 1x Knothide Leather when skinned.

Easily solo'd as a 70 resto shaman, roughly +800 healing. Earth shield kept me fully healed through everything but the breath, which is cast infrequently enough that earth shock is always up to interrupt it. Cleared a single diemetradon to the south to make a space for the kill, pulled, and waited for the measly resto dps to take him down.

Comment by 96972

As a 70 shadow priest with the "Glowing Crystal Insignia" trinket, what I did was cast my shield, waited 4 seconds, hit my trinket which increases my damage by 104 for 20 seconds...Casted my Vampiric Touch, SW: P, Mind Blast and then mind flayed. after that sequence i threw in my shadow fiend, mind blasted him again, re-shielded...and before you know it, he was toast....lost maybe 500 HP and after his death, i was back to full mana "Thanx Shadowfiend" :D

Comment by Stripfiguur

bugged since patch 2.3; mob may evade all damage. GM's say they're working on it

Comment by Johne514

Theyve fixed it i just did it.... Pretty easy as a 69 hunter

Comment by 91946

Just completed this quest as a BM hunter. He evaded all auto shots so I hit him with an Aimed Shot and got his aggro. Easy kill.

Comment by Mystion

There still has problem, they did not fix it very well, seems

Comment by 68449

couldn't do this quest...Mob is glitched. Evade, evade, evade was all i got out of him... :(

Comment by 89821

VERY IMPORTANT!

If he is bugged and evading, this is what you do:
1) Target him
2) /point
3) He despawns and then respawns
4) ....
5) PROFIT!!!

Comment by 78214

soloed with a druid 69!!

Comment by 74836

Tried this quest today, he agrod but was taking no damage, i died, went back but will not agro, just evade, evade, evade and will not move. Tried point command which is a load of poo. My character pointed at him he never respwaned just the same evade etc

Comment by 102627

Felspine is no longer evade bugged, as of December 11.

Comment by sabar

If you have no clue what Gnomus is talking about, it's a cross-reference to the horde chain:

Comment by Palm

He's bugged again -> Ragnaros server.
Beside him being bugged:
Hunters/Locks/otherclassesthatuseanNPCtotank.
Take him on the land first, the green 'lava' will kill all before you notice it.
I learned that the hard way...
Twice.

Comment by Kaallis

Bugged on Hoamarush too

Comment by 93915

im a lvl 69 nightelf rouge, i cant pull him with throw because he allways evade :'(
what should i do?

Comment by 93213

lol he was lagged to evade cant kill him :D

Comment by 6841

Just message a GM and tell him to respawn it. My GM answered me within 10 minutes. He knew about the mob having issues and restarted it. No problems with it after that.

Comment by verybig

just did it as lvl 70 shaman, had no problems with him avoiding me... blizz fixed it?

Comment by 106615

Had no problem killing him as of today easily soloed as a 68 prot pally just judge with light and dps with SoV and use HoJ to interrupt forst Fel Flames cast and bubble during the second one anf if you follow this he shouldnt have time for a third^^

Comment by 126420

This is a really easy kill as long as you remember to interrupt his flame breath attack, which does a colossal amount of damage and will fry your ass up good if you're a cloth-wearer.

Comment by 35043

Solo'd at a 69 Feral Druid. Very simple strategy.

I just popped a Rejuvination, charged in, laid on attacks and Bashed/interrupted him every time he tried to do the Flame breath thing.

I even missed the chance to interrupt the first flame breath and I came out of the fight easy with over half my HP still intact so this shouldn't be a hard fight for too many people.

Comment by 141466

I am happy to report that because Felspine the Greater was almost eternally evade-bugged, they have moved him up onto the land immediately south of the lava pool in which he was standing pre-patch.

Just clear the mobs walking around him and have at it.

Comment by 112837

All of which puts him actually around 56, 45. And he respawns fast, so get outta there.

Comment by 150475

Coords confirmed at 56,45.

This lizard should not be taken lightly. He is by no means DIFFICULT but does, as mentioned before, have a ton of hp and spams that fel breath a bunch. Use cautions.

A note to hunters:

What worked for my hunter was sending him in to tank like usual...but to use mend pet every so often to keep his hp up.

Hope that helps!

Good luck!

PS. Also...very fast repop time x_X;;

Comment by NuCl34R

He has 12.5k hp, i litterally owned him as a 70 protection warrior, but he didnt drop the quest item...
I'm about to try him again see if it drops this time.

And as someone else said, he is no longer in the green lava thingy, hes just south

Edit: For an unknown reason my group leader had changed the group for a raid (wtf?), i left the group and killed it, the item dropped as it was supposed.

So 100% drop rate, make sure you interrupt his casting.

Comment by 271623

easily soloable it is at 56,42 and there is a felboar near by kill him first then kill the giant dimatridon, dont do what i did right after i killed him i just sat there and typed this and he respawned on me he will follow you for a very long time :( very easy kill as a full blood DK lvl 67. didnt even take me down below 90% health
he has 12.5k health and just watch out for his fire breathing that hurts.

Comment by 232030

Watch out, he doesn't always seem to spawn properly.

Comment by 314120

kill the fel boar 1st i died coz of that beast!

Comment by 428059

56.42 is good...if you can fly land on bolder in front of him and pull...no hits at all or other agro

Comment by ziggy29

Very easy, at least if you get him with no other spawn, with a level 67 DK.

The Main Course!

Gnomus at Wildhammer Stronghold in Shadowmoon Valley wants you to recover Felspine's Hide.

	Felspine's Hide (1)

Description

Long story short, I used to work with a blood elf named Tiorus. My partnership with Tiorus dissolved once I got into gourmet living. He decided to take it upon himself to continue our research using MY inventions. Anyhow, he had some of his Horde goons using my arcano-scorp probes at the Ruins of Baa'ri lava flow and discovered the mother of all diemetradons!

I need you to get there before he does and kill the diemetradon, Felspine, and bring his hide back to me.

Hurry up!
