Comentario de zafira

Pude matarlo solo con un warlock 488ilvl y usando mi voidlord para tanquearlo para comenzar a farmear su montura, el aoe en el suelo no le hace dano a la pet y yo solo tenia que evadirlo de vez en cuando que me lo lanzaba.

Suelo verlo aparecer cada 30-40 min en la zona en mi servidor de baja poblacion

Comentario de cartagian

Desde el parche 6.0.3 es completamente soleable y fácil.

Comentario de Kaiservash

Tiene un tiempo de respawn APROXIMADO de entre 45 y 65 minutos, aunque en mi caso, lo he visto salir cada hora, 5 mins arriba o abajo. Espero ayude con los tiempos, saludos!

Comentario de zorenne

Lo he matado tantas veces, que voy a llegar a la 250. Todavía no me cae la montura, pero me ha servido para saber que este dragón puede salir entre 29 minutos y 1h 20.

Si quieres farmearlo, puedes dejar el juego con sonido en segundo plano activado, y mientras hacer otras cosas. Con un addon como el silverdragon, el juego gritará cuando aparezca en las coordenadas 66-58 aprox.

Comentario de damnos99

Según lo he estado campeando estas dos últimas semanas, Huolon reaparece entre 30 y 60 minutos tras su muerte.

Comentario de Soeru

Me salio aproximadamente al numero 40 se que tuve suerte. Nos se rindan que cae.

#####Seguí estos tips:#####
- Bajar el addon de Silverdragon, con esto llevo el CD exacto de la kill y el conteo de cuantas veces llevo por mero masoquismo (el rarity también es bueno para eso).
- Me fui a un personaje que tenia creado en un server de baja población o al menos no había casi gente campeando, a diferencia de mi server main con unas 20 si no mas personas campeando en el que estaba máximo habré visto a otras 3.
- Dar grupo a todo personaje de mi facción que vea, máximo 5 personas, recuerden que si alguien del grupo lo toca asegura el drop a los demás siempre y cuando estén cerca.
- Quitarme la ropa para permitir que todos pueden tocarlo.
- Ya que sale entre 30minutos a una hora, en esos 30minutos me fui a otro personaje a farmear otras monturas o hacer cosas, no sentía que perdía mi tiempo, otra buena opcion es farmer las Riendas del dragón nimbo dorado célico, podremos conseguirlo por 100.000 Moneda intemporal una vez seamos exaltado con la reputación de Shaohao todo esto en la misma Isla Intemporal. No se queden sin hacer nada o se volverán locos.
- Si es posible ir con un personaje caster o cazador que pueda hacer áreas o un ataque instantáneo para tener oportunidad de tocarlo rápidamente.
- Crear un macro simple que realice el target y ataque, spamearlo a full si hay mas personas pasado los 30minutos:
/cleartarget
/target Huolon
/cast ataque

Mucha suerte a todos.

Comentario de GreenAlice

No sé cuantos intentos llevaría, pero muchos muchos muchos, farmeando cada 30mins/1h con el World Timer Boss y un pj en modo guerra y otro en normal.
Me acaba de caer, pensaba que iba a estar otro tanto tiempo intentándolo antes de que llegara este momento.

Mucho ánimo que al final cae. Suerte!

Drops the Quivering Firestorm Egg.

Comentario de erol189

He dropped a Special item for me:
Thundering Onyx Cloud serpent! NOT A LIE!

Also rumors say he can drop Heavenly golden cloud serpent..I got proof also..I saw my friend loot it..Clearly u need some kinda odd Shaohao Rep to learn it.. Hope it doesnt take ages like golden lotus or shado pan..

Comentario de Bitterst

Currently on the PTR (Build 17247), I killed Huolon <The Black Wind> twice, a rare elite Thundering Onyx Wind Serpent flying on the Timeless Isle. He seems to patrol a relatively large path near the Northeastern area of the island, as I've seen him once around The Blazing Way and again coming from Ordon Sanctuary over the broken bridge.

The first time I killed him, he only dropped a Huevo de tormenta de Fuego tembloroso and a few Timeless Coins.
The second kill, he dropped a Timeless Armor piece and the Riendas del dragón nimbo de ónice tronador in addition to the Timeless Coins, but no Huevo de tormenta de Fuego tembloroso.

Comentario de Lore

If you're interested in this or any of the other rare elites on the timeless isle, head over to the Wowhead Rare Elite Guide for more information including maps and loot lists.

Comentario de 557990

Simple solo as dest lock.
Voidlord pet, set him to stand at a point on one side of the cliff, you stand by huolon's tail, when he does his lightning pillar, move out of it, and likewise move your pet if it gets hit. Burn and keep your pet up with blood pact.
easy sauce.

Comentario de 421666

I take it he is not tamable....

Comentario de penguinsane

Just killed him on US Azuremyst just a bit after the server went live this morning.

He is tap-to-loot, you do not need to be in a group or the initial pull. If you see him dying, run up and smack him! I saw someone killing him and I jumped in and looted Yelmo de cuero intemporal and 508x Moneda intemporal afterwards. I am a hunter so I can't use it, but my druid will appreciate it. :)

Comentario de The0o

Longest respawn time noted was 1 hour 20 minutes.
Shortest was 30 minutes on the dot.
Overall, about 40-60 minutes is the average respawn time.

Huolon spawns on top the middle tower of the bridge that connects Firewalker Ruins to The Blazing Way. It then flies north along the coast before flying up and around to where Cinderfall spawns then back to the bridge.

Edit---

After 35 kills i got the mount.
Please Note, This was my fifth kill that day so I can confirm you can get the mount on second + kill of that day.

Comentario de 1144302

Got a group together and kill him for the first time today. He dropped the mount for me and armour token. No one else got the mount. Either i was lucky as hell, or its kind of common drop.

Comentario de 788399

Dropped the Thundering Onyx Cloud Serpent for me on my first kill. Mal'Ganis was too laggy all day; had a friend invite me to Rivendare, where we pretty much went around rare/coin farming and we killed houlon probably 4-5 times. Only seen the mount on our first kill. Best of luck to everyone else!

Comentario de 812543

Spawns on top of the tower, on the middle of the bridge, east of Firewalker Ruins and starts flying up towards The Blazing Way (where all the Crimson Cloud Serpents are flying).

Comentario de Pinkiepieisfly

Hi guys, I thought I'd list a couple things here about this NPC. My friend and I got super excited and pulled him with just us two, my hpally and her spriest...not necessarily a swell idea, unless you're a warlock; I was barely able to keep her up :p

He will cast aoe beams at you if you; they don't really hurt much, although the effects may get worse if you stand in it over time, since I moved out immediately. You can tell he will land one on you if you he targets you. Your position doesn't matter; I've seen them cast close proximity to him and he also aims them at my healer.

The important thing to note about him is that his breath will most likely one-shot you. I believe this spell does do a select amount of damage, because I've seen it one-shot dps/healers but leave tanks/warlocks barely alive. He seems to breathe in front of himself throughout the fight.

Someone posted saying that his respawn is 30-60 minutes, I would presume this to be true. It does seem to vary a little, so don't expect the time to be exact if you are camping him. But he will show up fairly often, which is a relief.

He's obviously taggable to everyone of either faction. If you're on a pve server, be careful not to aoe and flag yourself; I've seen groups trying to grief people like this since his mount would appear to be very desired.

Speaking of his mount, since there's no info about it yet, I would have to guess that it's a 1-2% drop. Of course, it's RNG and it's hard to be certain; I'm merely suggesting that it doesn't appear to be an easy thing to obtain and you should be patient if you want to get it :)

He can drop several hundred Timeless Coins, boa 496 gear and Quivering Firestorm Eggs, not including the mount. I don't believe I've received a high amount of coins from him yet, so I think he's mainly just there for the mount.

Terribly sorry for the essay, but I hope this helps someone!

Comentario de smackthekids

Here's his exact spawn point for those who don't use coordinates, as well as collective tips on how to help you obtain your own:
Riendas del dragón nimbo de ónice tronador:

• Look at your Map (M) and look for the concrete looking bridge connecting the Firewalker Ruins to The Blazing Way - cross that bridge going north and as soon as the concrete bridge becomes a dirt path on your map, that is where Huolon will spawn; in the air above the bridge. (Note: There will be a crumbled tower right next to the bridge that he spawns above).
If you set your graphics settings to Max Draw Distance, you will be able to spot him way high in the air above the bridge as he flies down to become attackable at the end of the bridge.

• Note: This is Huolon's spawn point, not where he patrols around!
If you were not present for his fresh spawn, he will be patrolling between The Blazing Way and Ordon Sanctuary, moving in a " ┐" (reversed L) shape between the two.

• Huolon spawned 30 min apart between kills on busy Kel'Thuzad server, however; this early into 5.4 it is unknown if this is a set spawn timer or it is due to the heavy farming of the mobs/dragons around him, the way some of the other Rares spawn. Less populated servers with infrequent farming/killing of mobs in the Yaungol areas have reported respawn times between 30 to 60min+. (I will update this as more concrete information comes in regarding respawn time.)
UPDATE 9/15/2013: Huolon had a strange respawn of 30min consistently until late at night I waited 1hr 23min for him to spawn; still gathering info to narrow down the reason(s) for consistent/inconsistent spawn times.

• Important: Don't forget about your best friend CRZ! This can and will completely effect the respawn time and location when you first spot Huolon if you've changed servers without realizing it. Its best to either stay partied with the same person(s) or stay solo if farming for Huolon.
Example: He may have spawned several minutes ago on your home server while you were partied with someone who took you to a different CRZ; upon leaving the party/group you're taken back to your home CRZ and see Huolon spawn/materialize in a location along his patrol route, because he actually spawned already while you were on a different CRZ with your party. Similarly, waiting 25min with no spawn, only to change CRZ with one that may have killed Huolon minutes ago, you'll then have another extended waiting period before seeing him spawn again, since he was actually just killed moments ago on your home server or current Cross-Realm Zone.

• The new "Connected Realms" feature (coming soon, rolling out in stages) 'should' fix these CRZ-related annoyances, but has not been implemented on any servers yet. (I will update this as those select servers do roll this feature out)

Comentario de 930321

I have been easily soloing this rare on my hunter since my server isn't very populated

The fight should go down as follows.
I usually pull him on the right side of the bridge (where you would spawn if you die). Make sure to clear some of the adds in the area otherwise you will pull them during the fight (and they are elites so ouch).

When in range pull him and immediately misdirect to your pet.
You do not need a turtle to tank this, I used my wolf and your pet will not take much damage throughout the fight.

He has two abilities:
Flor de tormenta which will spawn a lighting pool under you. It is easy enough to move out of when it happens.

and

Aliento de relámpagos which he will do a purple breath in front of him that will one shot you if you are standing in front of him.

As long as your pet has aggro throughout the fight you can easily attack him from behind.

Goodluck!

Comentario de MMOSimca

There were like 20 people camping it on my server, all of them making remarks like "I've seen 5 people get it on their first kill but I'm on kill 15 without it".

This reminded me of something I saw while datamining: Tracking Quest - First - Huolon and Tracking Quest - Daily - Huolon

Those are hidden tracking quests, meaning that you can't see when you complete them or that you have them (everyone has them). However, I know for a fact these quests have an impact, at least on Timeless Coins from the rares.

The way it works with coins is this: Once you kill a Timeless Isle rare (thereby completing the "First" quest), then your next kill (and all kills after that) will check "Daily" quest for completion. If you've killed that rare, you will get much, much, much lower coins than normal.

I believe that this impacts rare drops as well as coins. This means that Cinderfall's Falling Flame and Huolon's mount (etc etc) can only be obtained on your First kill ever AND your first kill of the Day (which excludes your first kill ever).

Edit: There are some reports to the contrary on this. I know the daily impacts coins and access to your 'personal loot' table (I had to roll against a friend for one epic from a rare but not for another epic on the same rare), but perhaps there is a drop rate on the 'main' loot table for the mount as well.

It could be the same drop rate, so these items aren't affected at all, or it could be a 'lower' chance after the Daily is completed, sort of like how the Keys on the Isle of Thunder worked.

Comentario de dm0190

Huolon is confirmed to be a rare spawn on Timeless Isle, spawning at the Blazing Way, with a large patrolling area. Notable loot includes Huevo de tormenta de Fuego tembloroso and Riendas del dragón nimbo de ónice tronador.

There are internal daily quests for the rares on Timeless Isle, which drastically reduce the coins (and possibly loot) you get on your characters after your first kill that day.
Tracking Quest - First - Huolon- first kill of the day, good loot/coins/etc.
Tracking Quest - Daily - Huolon- any kills afterwards, less coins, no/very little loot.

So, as a word of advice, this isn't confirmed but it's likely you cannot get the mount after your first kill on that character. So, use your alts if you are camping. The daily is individual to characters. I have been camping and I have gotten much better loot by logging different toons than I did by sitting on one char and killing repeatedly.

Comentario de alpha17x

Spawns at the broken bridge tower at about 72.6, 52.6.

Comentario de Doneire

If what Simca posted is the case (1 chance at the Riendas del dragón nimbo de ónice tronador per day) and you decide to kill him on multiple characters like I am, then use this to keep track of your kills:

/run print(IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(33311))

If it returns a 1, you've killed him already today. If nil, you have not.

Good luck and happy hunting :)

Comentario de MageLuken

I can confirm that the mount drop has a chanche to drop everytime you kill him and not daily since i got the mount after a few tries on the same day :) (Riendas del dragón nimbo de ónice tronador)

Comentario de kps25

Roughly an hour respawn time (from what I have seen between two kills, it was about 56 minutes, time between my first and second kill wasn't checked) seems to normally spawn between the first and second bridge at The Blazing Way. May drop a mount that looks like the rare mob itself

Comentario de byebyepunk

I can confirm that Huolon can/will drop the mount even if you are not yet exalted with The Order of the Cloud Serpent. I looted the mount this morning and am still only Honored with them. He dropped the reigns to the mount outright without the egg to turn in.

Comentario de deathonabun

I have two bits of info on this guy.

First, chances at the mount seem to be individual. That means the more people that are there to kill him when he spawns, there is a higher chance that someone will loot a mount. I'm on US-Sargeras which is a full server, with something like 99% alliance population. As a result, huge crowds gather for Huolon's spawn and someone gets this mount almost every kill during peak hours.

Second, the mount is tradeable. It has a timer on it like boss drops. I purchased the mount from a guy who won it on the same kill that I had participated in. If you don't care about the mount, this rare could still be worth farming for the resell potential.

Comentario de 902970

This mount doesn't seem to appear to be super rare, or I am just lucky. I got my first one on Tuesday first kill, and just got another one today after two kills. There is hope people!

Comentario de TheOniyasha

On the US Area 52 realm Huolon is heavily farmed when he spawns, average respawn is anywhere from 30min to 55min. Always spawns above the bridge leading to the Blazing Way

Comentario de 986120

I can confirm you can get the mount on second and/or third kills for that day.

While the hidden daily quest may reduce chances, it does not eliminate the possibility.

Comentario de wowZhenek

I can confirm that after 32 kills mount hasn't dropped yet. This is taking a piss

Comentario de reisen

Do not kill Huolon while in a raid group I killed him while in a raid group a few days ago and received no loot at all, he was lootable but when clicked him nothing happened.

He despawned very quickly so I didn't get chance to test if being in a raid to kill him and then leaving allowed me to loot. I and others in my group could not loot him, we disabled all addons, reloaded, logged out and back in etc.

He is lootable while in a party, no one else in your party has to damage him you can still loot him if you are the only one to hit him.

From what I have seen if you tag him no one else in your party will get loot unless they hit him too.

Comentario de Faevel13

I've been camping this guy on my main since I got up this morning and have killed him 6 times as of this moment. I'm trying to get his respawn timers down, but so far they seem pretty infrequent; at one point he spawned after an hour exactly, then an hour and a half, then just under an hour . I'm trying to see if there is a definite number, but the best advice I can give to those that actually want to be there when he spawns and get the tag is to watch for a pattern with the rares on your server; take note of what rare was up last before he spawned and see if it happens again.

Also, I do not believe the internal "daily" or "weekly" quest that seems to be attached to our characters now has any affect on the "bigger prizes" he can award. My second hunter killed him twice this morning; first time he received a Lesser Charm and under 100 Timeless Coins, then the second time he got a Quivering Egg. My main has killed him 4 times now and has two eggs, as well as a Timeless Cloth Belt and the usual Timeless Coins.

Please, if you use the wowhead client, remember to upload data! I've been hearing about his mount getting looted pretty frequently, but according to the wowhead data it's only been looted four times. :/

Comentario de 1122274

Took me exactly 40 kills over 3 days to get it. I'm happy now. Spawntime seems to have been around 40 min for the most time, sometimes + / - 10 minutes though, area was always fairly crowded.

Comentario de Velor55

For people on a PvP server, there is a "safe spot" where you can go afk while camping him.

North of the bridge that connects the Firewalker Ruins and The Blazing Way is a broken down tower to the east. With some carefully placed jumps on what looks like stone slabs that stick out of the wall, you can climb up it and into a "safe zone".

You can scale the broken tower further and become even more unreachable if you're paranoid like I am.

Then feel free to go afk and your NPC scan will pop up whenever he spawns, just a short distance away.

Comentario de Sictir

The spawn time is between 30 to 40 minutes and the spawn point(on my server Sylvanas) is above the second bridge when you go up the mountain.I got my mount from the third try.So good luck to all you wow-ers out there farming this mount.

Comentario de mossy2775

BLIZZ NEEDS TO FIX THIS! no matter if you just tag him or not, it is hit or miss if you can even loot him. it will give you the bags on your pointer to loot but it wont even target him after he is down. FIX THIS ASAP! I PAY TO PLAY, NOT TO GET NOTHING FOR WORKING........

Comentario de 916600

Acquired the mount from Huolon on 9/17/13 after some 40-50 kills. Along with the mount, I also received 12 eggs, 4 burdens of eternity, and a few timeless tokens from him over the course of the past week.

The mount does appear to be 1% drop rate based on the rate that people are getting it. Burdens of eternity are also probably around a 1% drop rate from him, and most other rares (pretty certain I was just lucky to get the amount that I did from him)

It seems like they removed the ability to trade items to other players that also participated in the kill. I did not experiment with the reins, as I wanted to keep the mount, however I did try to sell a Burden of Eternity from Huolon to another player who also participated in that kill and it would not let me trade it. I'm not sure if this is a bug or if it is intentional.

And lastly, you do have a chance of getting the mount and other rare loot on every single kill (not just the first one of the day). You do receive more timeless coins, and possibly have a higher chance of getting good loot on the first kill of the day, but there is still a chance to receive the mount on every kill. I can confirm this, as I received the mount on my 3rd kill of the day, and received most of my burdens from him on kills that were not my first of the day as well.

Comentario de TheOniyasha

I can confirm you can purchase the mount from another player who was in on the same Huolon kill, wasn't even grouped with the guy seen him spam general and traded with him 35k for mount, even tho it says BoP it will say it can be traded to other players within 2hrs when in the bag or trade window. So if your tired of camping offer, if you want to make extra gold sell him =D

Comentario de 643630

If you intend to camp him for the mount and you are on a server dominated by the opposite faction:
I've had luck letting them kill me and then I sit as a ghost waiting for the spawn. I just hit accept on the res as soon as he is pulled and kill him.
Collect loot and repeat.

No need to worry about your gear breaking because you are dying PvP deaths.

Hope this helps.

Comentario de Tillion

Spawn timer is almost steadily at 45 minutes on Earthen Ring-with aberrations no longer than 10 minutes now and then. I've been watching the timer for nearly a whole week now and it hasn't changed.

No luck on the mount yet, though, even though I kill him every time he spawns as long as i'm online-lol, I've run out of raids because he was about to spawn and didn't want to miss him!:p

When Huolon is about to appear in ER, you can usually tell by the crowd gathering after the first bridge of the Blazing Way!;)

Comentario de PveManno

94 kills and counting. BLIZZARD PLS. Lmao.

Comentario de rzzr

There is a known issue where there are a significant number of players involved in the killing of Huolon that some players are unable to loot the boss (that was me!).
Unfortunately raising a ticket will not get you any loot as Blizz are not able to identify unlooted items.
Got this info when I raised a ticket. Am on a crowded server and must have been about 200 people involved in the kill. I wasn't the only one unable to loot and I suspect this applies to the other rares on the island as well.

Does anyone happen to know if its possible to get the mount on the same character more than once? The other night the mount dropped for my wife and being the nice person she is and me being the mount collector she gave it to me. I'm just wondering if its possible for her to get another one for herself (she only has one 90) or if we'll need to farm it again and have it drop for me and give it to her?

If you like to kite mobs to far off places then this is the mob for you. Houlon can likely be kited anywhere in Pandaria. I kited Huolon with some guildies to the Shrine of Seven Stars.

Is it true that the drop rate has reduced? I saw and heard of alot of people who got the mount the first week, then i haven't heard much of it since. I've personally done close to 100 kills without seing it drop.

Comentario de BabyCakes205

I have seen one person get it personally, I have seen many people flying around w/ it. I'm very sad. Around 200 kills and he hasn't dropped for me. I mean, srsly?

Comentario de 1197307

I just uploaded a picture in which you can see where to position yourself comfortably for stealth-farming this guy. This is just south of the tower, under the slope on which players resurrect when killed. Since this tower is the spawn point of Huolon, you will be notified the moment he spawns if you are using NPCScan.

If you have other things to do around the house and can leave the computer on with your character stealthed, and the sound high enough to alert you to its spawning, this is a great method of getting the elusive mount on a druid or rogue.

I can guarantee that you will not be spotted by resurrecting players or by any passerby that moves above you. At least that has never happened to me in several weeks.

Remember to clear the cache of NPCScan every time you have spotted Huolon. Otherwise you will not be notified when it spawns again. For clearing the cache, either manually hunt the files that need deleting (creaturecache.wdb and npccache.wdb inside World of Warcraft\Cache\WDB\enGB (or enUS)) or create a .bat file that does this for you every time you execute it.

To create a .bat file, open your notepad and type:

@del "C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Cache\WDB\enGB\creaturecache.wdb"
@del "C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Cache\WDB\enGB\npccache.wdb"

Make sure the address is correct for you. It could be "Program Files (x86)", or you could have your game somewhere else not following the default location above. Save it as a .bat file or change the .txt extension to .bat once saved.

Now, remember to exit the game once Huolon is killed. Remove the files or execute the above .bat file. Enter the game again and stealth away while you multitask around the house.

Good luck with the hunt!

Comentario de Betrayed328

This rare is easily solo'd using any toon in any spec! Just hop onto a Highwind Albatross and when you fly over head, target and attack, and he will follow you around the entire isle! Posting pics!

Comentario de Castratia

Is there a special way to fight Houlon? Last time I got in the fight, he kept targeting me and I ended up stuck behind the ruins wall and couldn't move. There were Elites all over, so I didn't want to move around much and aggro them accidentally. He one-shot me like 3 times like this. Someone finally whispered me and said I had to move because he was evading every time I got stuck. I had noticed his health kept going back up, but wasn't aware it was my fault. There were several other players in on the fight, so I'm not sure why this was happening to me. I'd never had an issue before. Did Blizz change the mechanics of the fight, or could it have been a glitch? Anyone have any suggestions? Did I make for the booboo?

Comentario de Grimgaro

Solo Kill from a bird! I figured out how to Solo Kill him with my DK from a bird.

The first time I tried it I died, but that was from stopping my bird too soon.
Second attempt I killed him, I just had to be careful I didn't let his body fall somewhere I could get to near the end.

I know it worked with my DK as my plagues kept him non stop on aggro, other classes may work as well.

Way I did it, pick up a bird, when you reach the end of the bridge, take your weapons off and auto attack your bird, less dmg the better but don't let it move.

As soon as Huolon gets close, stop auto attack and wait for a moment for him to be in range.
To keep him following and dying I casted Icy touch and Outbreak, only things long range enough I had to keep from dying. If he starts getting out of range, take weapons off, hit bird, , deselect bird, weapons back on and resume hitting Huolon. My dps with only those abilities was a little low so it took me 1.5 complete rounds of flight to down him. He died over the Terrace.

As long as you don't stop your bird too early and have a range attack, and don't kill your Bird. You should be able to solo him the same method as I used.

Comentario de Tsuzurao

I base my days around his spawn times now.

Comentario de louied777

I farmed Burning Berserkers for 15 hours straight to rep Shaohao one day, and I tracked Huolon's spawn times - the lowest was 30 minutes, and the greatest was 85 minutes - with the most common times being around 50 minutes.
In addition, I was killing the Berserkers 3-5 hours numerous other days, and again the average spawn was around 50 minutes!

Happy hunting.

Comentario de Pyxxie

He spawns close to the ground now as of the most recent patch fix.

Comentario de Jazzycakes2

Due to the fact that I'm on a PvP server that is unbalanced, I find a safe spot to wait for Huolon to spawn which is usually on the ledge with 3 Firestorm eggs there, I farm the eggs with a 5 minute respawn time until Huolon spawns and then I just Golden Glider my way down to his location to get a tag.

Comentario de Achooah

Just do us all a favor, eliminate yourself from existence and give us the god damn mount!

Comentario de 1004898

Just had this beauty drop on my main, gorgeous gorgeous mount.
I am very lucky indeed!

The best place to get him I found was a spot just after you get off the bridge.
He instantly spawns on the left every 30 minutes to an hour.
He's a very easy farm and you can just sit in one spot and wait for him to show up.
If you wait on the right side, beside the resurrection spot/wall and face West you cannot miss him when he appears.

Happy Hunting!

Comentario de Lickshot

Amazing mount and pretty easy to get.Got this one on the first day and first kill.A funny fact is that i tried to get it on a friend's account and dropped from the first kill again.That friend of mine still buys me a menu at Mcdonald's for the good deed I did.:)

Comentario de 1214551

Small sample size but the mount seems to drop in clusters. I've pulled him about fifty times and most of the time no one has any exciting comments, but when I got mine at least 2-3 others got theirs as well. Same thing happened two more times. Obviously I can only observe what people report so this may not be a phenomenon at all.

Comentario de Esploratore

As if 150 kills and no mount (and reading on a thread of a player who had to do 552 kills to get it) wasn't annoying enough, I did 120 kills in the last 8 days, never missed a spawn, in the means, never had to wait more than 1 hour.

Yet today, suddenly, always checking once every 1 min at the spawn spot, I had a kill at 13.52, which would suggest 14.22-14.52 as spawn window, yet not seen one till I killed it at 15.25, then a normal kill within the spawn window, 16.09, and then once again it's 17.30 and still haven't seen it.

Is there a low chance that the respawn exceeds the usual 1 hour limit, or did anyone notice this bug (if it's a bug) as of today, or must I have 100% missed the kills for it to spawn at around 1 hour and half from the previous kill? I'd like to remind you I check every 1 min and that my realm (quel'thalas eu) is on the borderline of medium and low pop and that it always takes more than 2 mins to kill it since it's pulled; sometimes he even does some round before pull.

And there's a crimsonscale firestorm which seems to be bugged (in the air close to huolon spawn, but too far to be pulled and doesn't move at all, weird!), may that bug out huolon?

Comentario de fendred

For those melee classes that get constantly screwed by bad aoe mechanics that kills you when you're not even in them:
At a 250ms latency (best case scenario) I found that running constant rings around Huolon actually worked really well, instead of running through (behind) or only moving when the cast begins. Normally I would then get screwed by lightening pools, but I discovered you can also change direction and run through the breath without taking damage; it seems to be only the initial blast that hits, the rest of the cast is dead time.

Maybe this was obvious to other people, but I used to just spend my time using thrown weapon and letting other people kill him to avoid dying to the clusterf*** that it turns into with 10+ people there.

I still haven't found a reliable way to not die to other things I'm not standing in, though.

Comentario de Avalionis

27 attempts...so far, I've gotten

2 Eggs, 20 Timeless Mail Tokens, 5 of those "items" to give you a boost on the Isle...mixed in with Charms and Coins, of various amounts...no mount, despite people claiming, they've gotten it 4-6 times in a few days.

The other rares, have dropped nothing but charms, and coins for me so far...and no Cloth or Plate tokens...a few leather, but mostly Mail...got enough of them, to fully gear up, at least 3 or 4 Hunters and Shamans. :|

So much better than his cousin Puolon <The Brown Wind>. Not only is he deadly but he's also silent.

Comentario de Wheeljack

It is such a relief to finally get it. Now I can do dailies/weeklies on the isle not having to worry about missing a spawn and a possible drop.
I've been farming Huolon on and off since october(!), killing him often and on various chars (just in hopes of higher drop-rate on the first/second kill of the day for that char). Eventually the mount had the courtesy of dropping an early morning last week.

I get obsessed with these things...which is bad, really, lol. Raid-mounts are one thing because I pretty much only have one shot pr week pr char, which is easier to cope with.

Comentario de 1249416

I have been farming Huolon for days upon end and I've killed him over 150 times. Normally, he always spawns right next to the crumbled tower ruins you can climb. RECENTLY, he has been spawning in very random places and not right at the base of the ground by the tower. The past five kills:

2 spawns by Cinderfall
1 spawn by Leafmender
1 spawn by tower ruins (or the "normal" location)
1 spawn by the guy who sells "censer of eternal agony"

However, I do not know if this is for everyone.. but it seems to have just changed to randomized locations around the Blazing Way in the month of June 2014. I believe Huolon was supposed to be spawning like this, in a very random spot every time. Tell me if you have anything to add onto this, I'd love to figure when this was put into place!

Good luck on your mount farming!

Didn't look in the comments to see if anyone else has mentioned this or not, but I (warlock) just killed him while riding around on an albatross. He followed me around the whole island and the bird flew fast enough that he didn't hit me with anything. I got him low so that I could kill him somewhere where I could land to loot him once I did it. It was pretty awesome, I was expecting him to run back after a distance. Wish I had got the mount though lol.

I wish there was a script or a listing in the UI for how many times I have killed this SOB...
So tired of killing him 7 times a day, across multiple toons and servers and not getting a mount.

Meanwhile my wife and in-laws have killed Huo less than 10 times and all have the mount. :(

Comentario de Mysterayne

Having spent the past week on the island every day ... it looks like after the first time you "loot" him, you don't even get any loot.

So the 1% drop on the mount seems a fallacy (unless is is 1% of every 10 million) ... I have seen better drops on a nun dropping her drawers.

Prepare to spend hours being disappointed.

Comentario de 734450

So this is mostly me asking for confirmation -- today I found that every single time the 3 Champion of the Black Flame Yaungol were killed, Huolon spawns directly after. Now this could simply be because someone killed the 3 Yaungol directly before killing Huolon and the 30-min spawn timers just by fluke fell together, and that Huolon has been spawning at the 30 min mark every time, so the Yaungol just happen to be spawning at the same time too. But it just seems odd that every single time those 3 Yaungol get killed, my NPC Scanner pops Huolon. So I'm asking for someone to maybe test this and keep an eye out, see if it's just a total spawn-timer fluke on my server or if they maybe are directly connected. So far I've witnessed 4 spawns in a row like this. That's not enough for indefinite proof, which is why I'm bringing it up here and saying I don't know that they're connected, but I'm telling everyone to maybe keep an eye out and try to investigate for themselves.

This may be legitimate information on Huolon's spawning system, so I'd really prefer this not be down-rated. If people do research and find out they're not connected then by all means post a response to this that says "No I tested the theory and they're not connected" and then you can down-rate all you want, guys.

Comentario de guardiantitan

Spent 3 days camping Huolon and took 35 kills to get the mount. I'm on Hydraxis/Terenas-US. I was not server hopping for more chances.

Spawn time averaged at roughly 48 minutes similar to Garnia. Longest time to spawn was 60 minutes. Shortest I saw was 37 (which was the one where I get the mount). I have three accounts so while I was camping Garnia on one, I was camping Huolon on the another.

For those unsure, Huolon spawns at around 65,56 which is across the double bridges. He spawns right next to the tree next to the second bridge with the sprites around it right across from a broken wall that has a crate that spawns with some coins and the odd item in it. I thought he spawned at the top of the hill near the other bridges going to Ordos. Never actually saw him spawn until I started to camp him the other day.

Comentario de 1123015

Ok, I did some thinking and, timeless Isle lets you get ONE special rare item per day from a rare, if they even have a rare item they drop. The mount is a special rare item and you can get it once a day, it is not guaranteed you will get it on your first day, but if you already got a special rare item that same day before killing Huolon, you cannot get the mount, so I advise that you just it and wait for Huolon to spawn and kill him. DO NOT DO ANYTHING ELSE, or it will ruin your chance. I got mine this way, so good luck, be patient, and camp. Use a few toys to keep you at bay.

Comentario de grundge

The BEST way to camp this mount is to actually "camp" the mount. I saw a lot of people just logging in and out and usually missing several spawns, others would run by wait and then run away and usually that is when Houlon would spawn.

All bad ideas.

Best way to do it is perma camp one of your characters there and then DO SOMETHING ELSE!

Pull up a tv, another computer and watch some netflix. Do some reading or other work and just monitor your character now and then. IT WORKS.

You wont miss a spawn and yes it does take time, but eventually random number gods will bow in your favor. It is far better then to log in and out randomly.

Edit: also take note that after each spawn you have at least a guaranteed 30 min that you can go without monitoring your pc because thus so far no one has reported a less then 30 min respawn time.

Comentario de 1443565

A GM just told me you can only loot Huolon once per week per character. I ticketed after not being able to loot several corpses I had killed and this was the responce:

"I checked this out and see that your loot was successfully looted! :o

2015-08-02 00:36:20 Huolon killed by -------
2015-08-02 00:36:22 ------- had Timeless Coin change by 310
2015-08-02 00:36:23 ------- had Lesser Charm of Good Fortune change by 3
2015-08-02 00:36:23 ------- had created for inventory

Looks like you got some charms, coins, and spaulders for this weeks kill! Awesome stuff! ^-^"

Comentario de Reddervish

It dropped the Thundering Onyx Cloud Serpent mount for myself and 1 other (out of 3 campers) in one kill today. I don't recall seeing any mention of it dropping for multiple players at once. It was my 120th kill. The other player had been camping it and had killed it a number of times also.

During the 30 minute wait between killing Huolon and beginning to camp for another appearance, I spent my time killing npcs in the immediate area. I also took the Shaohao dailies every day. Two days ago I reached exalted with Shaohao and had more than enough Timeless Coin to buy the Heavenly Golden Cloud Serpent Dragón nimbo dorado célico also. So I scored 2 new mounts in the process.

Comentario de inico

Today I killed Huolon in Drakkari-US at 21:28 server time, he respawned at 21:35 (same server), so the minimum respawn time doesn't seem to be 30 minutes. I killed him like 100 times and this is the first time i see him respawn so quickly.

Finally after 377 kills the reins finally dropped! Killed him everyday, about 3/4 of the spawns per day, for about 3 weeks straight. Just stick it out eventually it will drop. Good luck to all.

Comentario de ChronoAS

Since timeless isle is pretty much an empty place right now, Huolon takes some time to get killed. Use this as your opportunity and try to find him on many servers.
Dropped mount after 97 kills. I used Server Hop addon to change realms. I was able to kill him 2-3 times in a hour with this, just be patient.

Comentario de Cathrina

Got mount after 8 days of camping and 344 attemps. I didnt find "server hop add " so usefull as someone said. U can arrive 1 sec later or leave 1 second before it spawn...and lose time just hopping without results. Can happen u kill him but if u are in a raid u cant drop him as happened to me several times. In all these days i just found a way to drop it. Or u have 2 chars in 2 different no connecting realms, then u can , writing spawn time, waiting one time in one realm ..one time in another..or best solution is finding 4 different ppl from 4 different realms, everyone camps in his realm and when it spawn he summon the others.in this way u will have sure multiple possibilities.
Anyway dont give up. MOUNT MUST ARRIVE.

Comentario de schmilblick

As stated before do NOT kill him in RAID mode or you just can't loot him.

Comentario de Ethna

I have been starting a timer every time I kill Huolon. I was coming back 30 mins later, but changed that to 25 mins after finding him dead when I arrived after 26 mins.

I started trying to acquire this mount in mid-to-late January 2016 and thought it would be no big deal, even on my PVP server. As of this posting, I have 223 kills with an average time between kills of 45-50 minutes, and this does not include the many, many times with the same wait time that Horde prevented me from looting a kill or killing Huolon at all. I am beginning to think that I am the last Alliance who does not have this mount, after seeing 6+ Horde and no Ally camping a good 50% of the time. If you do not have a stealth mode and are in the same predicament as I have been, remember your friend Sigilador 54, which I have found to be extremely cheap on AH.

I note that recent posts indicate +300 kills for this mount, which makes me wonder if the drop rate on it has changed.

238 kills and I am done on April 22, 2016.

Comentario de Eonarion

Noticed a bug in 7.1.5 where he spawns stuck in the ground, atleast thats what it looks like if you are standing close to his spawnpoint down by the lowest bridge. But what actually happens, is that for some reason he looks stuck for the players that observed him spawn there, while for others, he is actually patrolling as usual. Have noticed this bug several times now and only fix Ive seen so far is to relog; It lets you see where Huolon is actually standing/flying.

edit; should mention he is unattackable in his "stuck" form...(you will get an out of range-error when you are pretty much sitting on him with a gun)

Comentario de Tigerjenta

I was told today that he's a daily drop...is this correct or not? Tbh i didn't believe the guy

Comentario de Pavali

Just took down Huolon tonight, but something odd happened. After camping him for months, instead of spawning directly over the cliff, he spawned over the bridge (near 59,58). Along with that, he's been dead for about twenty minutes now, but still hasn't despawned. Just a heads up for anyone else going after him.

Comentario de brusartra

As of 7.3 I've killed huolon 75 times (yes i counted) with no luck.

It seems blizzard changed spawn timers of most timeless isle spawns making them considerably quicker(a probable change with the mop world boss timers)

Huolon now has a 30min minimum spawn and 60min maximum spawn.

Happy hunting!

Comentario de ChrisObscuris

Seems like something relevant to point out: If you are in a group, and your group kills Houlon without you tagging him, you will still be able to loot the corpse. I was over by the bridge waiting for Cinderfall for his pseudo toy and ran back to check if Houlon spawned. The corpse was glowing and I looted it (no mount). Since 110s can basically one shot him, makes it useful to have a lower level player in a group to tag him and pull him down to the group that way he doesn't die off the cliff.

Comentario de TheFinalHero

I'm not sure if this is accurate, but it seems like enemies on the Timeless Isles have gotten buffed slightly. I used to be able to one-shot everything with my shadow priest's Shadow Word: Pain, but now my initial burst will only do about 60k-120k damage to the adds, which have a ~400k health pool.

I'm currently rocking an ilvl of 939 on patch 7.3.2, so hopefully this makes it easier to farm against the other factions. Good luck on your drops!

Comentario de Haulsen

As the patch 7.3.5 hits with the new Zone Scaling it's now easier to tag him before he dies - now he spawns with roughly 1,6m HP, increasing his health pool for every player that successfully tag it.

edit: waited 2 more respawns before I could see his actual respawn health and print screen it.
(and it was seen on a lvl 100 character, no idea if it got increased even more when seen by a 110 toon)

edit 2: well, people still throw everything at him right after he respawns. On a busy day even spamming a macro to target/hit it won't guarantee you a loot window D:

Comentario de Sindragozer

Jw cause I'm about to start farming it for the mount, so thank you in advance to anyone who may have the answer!

Comentario de AzerateAeriePeak

Some tips based on my 7.3.5 farming so far:

General:
-he respawns after 30-60 minutes
-this means that after killing him, you can play a different character (or do something else entirely for 30 minutes)
-once the 30 mins are over, you have to pretty much pay attention to the screen for up to 30 minutes
-his corpse sometimes lingers for a long time, this DOES NOT mean you ended up in a different shard and your timer just went to hell, sometimes the corpse remains until the next spawn
-the corpse is skinnable, which makes him instantly disappear, this is also why people end up being confused as to the corpse disappearing or not

Tips:
-yes the hp has been buffed, but his dying too fast will still be an issue as long as there is more than 3 people there, and there will often be more
-use a class, which can cast an instant ranged attack (like druid's moonfire), also abilities such as death and decay and consecration might be useful there
-make a macro (/tar huolon /cast moonfire) - example for druid
-keybind the macro and make sure you can fire it easily
-GROUP UP with players of the same faction (realms where one faction heavily dominates will have it easier), don't be afraid to make that party
-once you log back to the spawn point, do not alt tab until you have killed him, it often takes sub 1 sec
-watch TV / movies/ anime / whatever on another screen while waiting

Comentario de JohnCrichton

As of patch 7.3.5 i assume timer is set on 32min cuz i killed him today and set timer to see how long it will take to spawn,32min exactly after timer start he spawned :) i just hope the drop chance is same and not nerfed :) gl to all with mount :)
Pp after 4 kills it seems timer is rng,here how it is by now:
After 1st kill today 32min
After 2nd kill 58min
After 3rd kill 48min
After 4th kill 54min

Comentario de murlok999

I noticed since patch 8 Huolon stopped dropping any loot like coins and items. I wonder if it it still drops the mount?

Comentario de seriouslyjack

In BfA, Huolon will get one-shot by almost anything, meaning that the first person to hit him is usually the only one to do so. This makes him one of the most frustrating mount farms in the game. Hopefully they add a temporary damage reduction like they did with Sha of Anger.

Until then, your best bet is to farm him on a low population realm and/or late at night. An instant cast ranged ability is mandatory. Anything with travel time will get your kill stolen, trust me.

Comentario de Hawkeye5723

I believe that it has a re-spawn time of about 57 minutes.. Based on the last 3 spawns.. 17:14, 18:11 & 19:08.
EDIT: (That theory was just blown out of the water as the next was at 19:45).

Just as well I had a read & refresh before I went there.. Huolon spawned as a I entered the bridge.. so didn't see the spawn, but as I reached it I saw an Alliance heading from the opposite direction.. I arrived & spammed 'Fire Blast', all casts hit, no damage was done & a message poped up after each hit saying "Out of Range".. remembering the previous post that Huolon gets stuck, I logged out.. during that Logout 20 seconds the Alliance attacked it & then emoted it was Confused at Huolon.. Logged out & straight back in only to find Huolon dead now by the alliance at the same spot!..

!0 seconds later I got the zone alert that Huolon had spawned... (10 seconds after it was killed).. but Hulon was on route on its pat route!.. & when killed decided to fall on the 1 small rock that was to high to Climb!.. Grrr..

Anyhow, hung around & that is what I have figured to be the re-spawn time..

Comentario de crideon

Can confirm as of 1/1/2019 that:

Huolon is still highly camped with AOE-wielding factions
Grouping up is a wise strategy
Making a macro and spamming the life out of it works
Reins of the Thundering Onyx Cloud Serpent still drops, and
Your patience may be rewarded, as mine finally was today. Happy New Year!

Comentario de IdonaeofKilrogg

After spending most of the day patiently awaiting numerous visits from Huolon and taking several notes, I am ready to share my experience with you all. I am on the server Kilrogg, I am not sure if it varies server to server but just in case I thought I would include that.

Data gathering time frame (server time): 1:33p - 11:02p
Times killed: 12
Average respawn rate in minutes: 45
Time from kill to despawn in minutes: 2

A puppy was brought to my home unexpectedly for me to train which distracted me for a solid three hours from 4:54p - 7:55p (server time)
In spite of that adorable bundle of joy visiting me, I was able to stay on track with Huolon's spawns.

Spawned at (all server time) : 1:31p, 2:27p , 3:10p , 3:57 , 4:52 , 4:54p - 7:55p , 7:55p , 9:20p , 10:05p , 11:00p .

During time lapse, I approximated spawn/despawn times based on average rate of 45/47 minutes respectively. Approximate spawn times (server time) : 5:39p , 6:25p , 7:10p . Made it back at 7:55p to find him spawning, because I had estimated 7:56p. Which would be approximately 44 minutes from estimated despawn to respawn.

I grouped with another player I met on the island so we could both loot Huolon. Problem is, this other person went afk, got dc'd, came back, dismounted, stood there, went afk again, came back again, ignored my messages, walked off the cliff, and disappeared. This person never looted Huolon and therefore threw the timer off. Had he been looted immediately, he would have despawned at 7:57p but instead despawned at 8:32p . So from despawn we're looking at 47 minutes to respawn but if you calculate the 35 minutes I waited for him to despawn it was 82 minutes.

This is what I have so far. My times/numbers may be a smidge off as it is nearly 5a my time as I post this. If more helpful insights are gathered, I will make an edit to this post. I truly hope this is helpful for those hunting this mount!

Comentario de spyropurple

He desperately needs one of those barriers the pandaria world bosses get, it's getting absolutely ridiculous at this point with everyone oneshotting him and no one else getting a chance to tag.

Edit: Even better,give him a short spawn timer for his god awful drop rate.

Edit 2: He finally gets a barrier, good lord that took forever to implement.

Edit 3: The limited time only Pandaria timerunning event will allow you to purchase rare mounts, such as the thundering onyx cloud serpent, with a new type of currency. So there's that for another source to getting this highly elusive mount.

Comentario de NanerFish

Am I the only one who thought Blizzard was saying it wasn't dropping at the end of MoP? Like everyone was on that bandwagon?

I all but gave up trying to do it on the last week of MoP when WoD was on the horizon...

You mean to tell me that a bunch of random trolls kept saying that Huolon was never dropping? I could've swore I heard it on MMO-Champion and other WoW news outlets at the time.

This whole time...

Stand at coords 59.32, 59.41 the mountain that connects the Blazing Way to Ordon Sanctuary and face East Ward, from here you can almost guarantee to watch him spawn, if you don't have a glider kit for getting to him fast enough you can use the Gleaming Crane Statue to shoot you into the air, this will be harder if there's other people around, be sure to dispell the gliding buff as soon as you can as dispelling it before it automatically runs out will cause the statue to respawn quicker.

Comentario de Berbe

Just a plain and simple info and recap of all these comments...
#1. - Spawns every 30 to 60 minutes.
#2. - Can be killed and looted by the very same character unlimited times/day. (so you don't need all your chars to farm this one)
#3.1 - It IS one-shot kill! So make sure to make a group (5 max-not raid group), each time you farm Huolon!
#3.2 - It can be looted (if in a group) by all members of the group, even though just one of them actually hit it! (therefor, one more reason to be in a group)
#4. - Eventually you could also make a macro to one-click target and hit him, as this one:
/target Huolon
/cast "Some-Instant-Spell"

That's pretty much it about him. The rest is patience, hope and a ton of luck, which i wish you all! Happy farming lads!

Comentario de Crash0ng

Invited someone to group up, they declined, mount dropped (07/01/2020)

FYI; He seems to be getting stuck at spawn and you're unable to tag him. I found they only way to "free" him was leaving the area and returning before someone else kills him!

Comentario de stang99x

Sat 3 hours on 2-1-20 and never spawned. No other players in zone.

Checked at 915 am 2-2. Made lap from first spawn point around to the last one over the bridge. 7 rares were up. As I started the return trip rarescanner picked up Houlon. He was dead as soon as he spawned, and there were no other players present. Really pissed me off. He literally spawned and died. I even jump off the cliff to cut off any retreating player and there was no one. A /who of the area yielded no results either. This is a crock blizz.
Sat a further hour and no spawn so the spawn timer is changed or screwed up.

Returned on 2-3 at about 2pm EST and he was there. Killed no drop. Went and did Nzoth dailies for an hour, came back and he appeared as I was about to leave. Killed again still no drop, just coins. Appeared and killed again a 4:10 dropped a leather belt. Killed again 5:50pm dropped mail boots. Spawn times seems to be about an hour, as I checked at 30 minutes and 45 minutes with no appearance

As of March 9 I have killed him at least 25 times. Usually just tokens drop. Sometimes a timeless piece. No mount yet.

Comentario de opfazonk

His spawn is still bugged as of 8.3 and "/reload" did not fix it for me. Since logging out takes 20+ seconds, I found the actual fastest way was to just Alt+F4 out of the game and get back in right away. By then he will have moved on his path roughly parallel to Leafmender, give or take. Can also confirm that spawn times are anywhere between 20 and 90 minutes, with 30-60 being the more regular intervals.

That said, after almost 6 years of farming and over 230 kills, I did get the mount today. Hang in there, fellow farmers!

Comentario de Georgino

Few tips that might help you with your farm:

1) You can loot it multiple times per day, there is no lockout.

2) Riendas del dragón nimbo de ónice tronador has 0.9% drop rate.

3) Respawn Timer is 30-60 minutes.

4) Huolon spawns at (/way 65.5 57.3) in meele range and starts flying anti-clockwise if noone kills him.

5) You can make a group up to 5 people. If someone on your group tags it, everyone in the group will be able to loot it.

6) Mount is personal loot. Even in the same group, someone can loot it while others not.

7) Chances are not divided if you are in a group. If there are other people there, make a group so everyone can loot it.

8) Joining a raid group does not give you loot privilege unless Huolon is tagged by a member of your PARTY.
For example if you join a raid group of 10 people (2 parties) and you are on GROUP 1, if someone in the GROUP 2 insta-kill it then you willl NOT get a loot, so there is no reason to be more than 5 people (convert to raid).

9) If you see the bugged version of Huolon (Unattackable). Pass the bride (Firewalker's Path) and then come back. You will see Huolon flying at around (/way 74 44).
Unfortunately this is risky if you are not alone in the area but there is nothing you can do for it.

10) You can still Realm Hop if you have a bnet friend in a different Shard. Just ask them to invite you to a group while they are there. If you do it, keep a track of expected Respawn Timers on each shard.

Goodluck to everyone!

SHADOWLANDS NEWS:

Tamable by Hunters as of Shadowlands expansion. Prepare for a lot of new, weird, and annoying times at this mobs spawn point.

Requirements needed by a Hunter to tame:

Exalted with Orden del Dragón Nimbo
Bought & used Cómo educar a tu dragón
And most importantly... a godly amount of luck with RNG on getting the tame before it's killed by mount farmers

Comentario de thxyoutoo

Successfully, shared tap with multiple full groups of 120s. Have all casters take all gear off, and melee keep their weapons. For best results, bring a low level weapon. The boss still died in 1 second. However, 3 parties of both ally and horde were able to share 1 tap.

I highly encourage you all to do this.

Comentario de jodle

Spawn time seems to be different from 30-60 mins. I killed Huolon 9:16am. Time is now 10:23am and it still hasnt spawned. I set my alarm clock to 25 mins after the last spawn, and I went back to Timeless Isle at 9:43am, and I've waited since.

Addons: Rarescanner and Silverdragon. So I'm notified in the chat and by a sound once it spawns.

Btw. I have passed my 100th kill long time ago and this is the first time it hasn't spawned within the known time window.

Huolon spawned 10:42am - 86 minutes after the last spawn. I farm him on a really low-pop realm. So I doubt I've been placed in another shard on Timeless Isle.

Comentario de SilkCharm

SHARING IS CARING (2020) I was wondering how to tag Huolon without killing it? I guess Spellsteal for Mage - are there other spells/casts/to help everyone? I know questions get downvoted - heh - but I'd like a list for my alts that I don't play a lot but just park under Huolon. Thanks! xxx

Comentario de albinoette

Spamming a target/attack macro for 20 minutes and somehow still miss the kill. Ugh.

I know he's not a MoP "world boss" like Nalak or Galleon or Sha or Oondasta - but, speaking as someone camping this in BfA, boy would some kill protection be nice.

Comentario de Shannu

For any hunter looking to tame Huolong. The best place to do it is catch him as he passes over the bridge on Firewalker's Path. Use scare beast to draw him down and once he has you targeted, hit tame!

Comentario de Shannu

This rare can now be tamed by hunters. The best place to catch him is on the second bridge near the Firewalkers' Path. I suggest using scare beast to aggro him without killing him and tame!

Comentario de jasmune

Huolon is tamable while Party Syncing with a friend who is leveling. If you're having trouble with competition over this mob, you may have better luck if you play around with Party Sync.

Comentario de Tandestoker

Found an extremely busted way to farm this mount, I was averaging 20-30 kills a day, killing it 108 times over the timespan of 4 days when it finally dropped. Here's how

Bring a hunter between level 30-49 with CHROMIETIME active to timeless isle (Due this being seperated from normal servers the rare will almost always be up and very rarely camped, even if people are camping it it will take some time to take it down giving enough time for everyone to tag it.)
I wait at the start of the bridge next to his usual spawn point and misdirect threat to my pet/feign death whenever i generate too much (Right now in the pre patch hunter pets take literally ZERO damage from rares) Making this an afk kill aslong you don't get aggro
I was doing this on 4 characters: 2 with wm off and 2 with wm on. 2 different servers
You can also use this method to tame it if you're just looking for that
NOTE: if you don't want to solo it you can invite a max level friend and party sync with him, this will make you transfer him into your shard.

Make good use of this before too much people discover it and it gets flooded like the normal shards

Comentario de fuba

Huolon needs a random Spawn location since he is Tameable!

It is almost impossible on a LOW Pop Realm to Tame him, how damn s*it is it on High Pop Realms?

I try it now for about 5 Days without break all night during the week!
Because it is 100% impossible at daytime and 200% impossible at weekend + daytime, even on lowest pop realm! ;)

For short:
No chance at all, not even all night long during the week!

Spawn Time is from 30-60 min but my tries got me an average of 50min.
And believe me, 50min is HELL LONG if you hope no one is come online! ^^

I spent the past 7 days camping him in the same spot. I have 205 kills at the time of writing this.

-His spawn is 30-60 after the second he died, never more, never less.
-Moonfire from a 60 drood doesn't full kill if you don't have all your gear on.
-If he bugs out, walk up the mountain to 74, 38. He should debug and will be somewhere random in his pathing
-It does drop, it's dropped twice for people in my group.
-Don't lose hope, keep yourself distracted.

P.S. No, I don't have it yet... Soon™

Comentario de frodinsky

With the introduction of Chromie time, there's now an alternative way to farm all of the open world bosses and rares that drop mounts and are usually highly sought after. I never farmed the Riendas del dragón nimbo de ónice tronador because of the competition and potential frustration of waiting an hour only to get it killed right in front of your eyes before you could tag Huolon. However, after getting the Riendas del protodraco Tiempo Perdido and Garfavacua de la Estrella Oscura on the same day, not because of insane amounts of luck but simply because there was no competition in Chromie time whatsoever, I tried farming this mount aswell. Obviously, for this you would still need luck (considering the 0,9% chance to drop), but I very much prefer this active method over the passive method of waiting with a dozen of other people. I personally got this mount on my third day of farming it, after 94 tries.

Here's what you want to do:

have a level 30-49 ranged character and get them on Chromie time by talking to her in SW/OG and selecting an expac - which expac doesn't matter, you don't have to choose Pandaria necessarily. The reason you don't want to do this below level 30 is that getting to the Timeless Isle without flying will be a hassle, except when you have another account or friend that can get you there with a two person mount like the sand drake. Apart from that however, the mobs on the Timeless Isle do not scale under level 30 - they will only scale up (You can still kill and loot him on a lower level though)

Due to there being very scarse competition, if there's any at all, Huolon will most likely fly around, which was a sight I have never seen before as he's usually killed within a blink of an eye. The problem you'll now have to deal with is that he's a rare plus elite mob on your level who will one-shot you by any of his abilities, but there's a method of pulling him from the right angle when he's right above you. That way he won't come down to auto-attack you (which is why you want to be ranged), he won't cast the storm piles on the ground - he will only cast his lightning breath non-stop which will not hit you if pulled from the right angle. Where you pull him technically doesn't matter, but you should pull him where no other mobs will aggro you - I used 66.1/61.0 for that matter, as it was also easy to orientate with the pillar in front of me. At that spot, I usually waited for my spells to be in range, count to two, and then attacked him with an instant ability. It's kind of hard to explain, and you'll most likely die a few times before you know what to do, but eventually you'll get how to pull him. From that spot, if you survive the first cast of lightning breath, you are safe to just attack him until he's dead, which depending on the strength of your character should take 3 to 5 minutes.

The best use of this tactic is to have several characters from 30-49 with Chromie time on different layers - that means different CRZ (cross-realm zones), so realms, that do not share the same zone with other realms. RP servers are a good choice as they don't share a zone with any other realm, but you can do this on any PvE/PvP realm just as well. I personally did this on three characters - one on EU-Sen'Jin, one on EU-Thrall (Sen'jin and Thrall are in one CRZ, but I bypassed that by putting one on warmode and the other not) and the other one on EU-Antonidas (was a mage, so I put HS to Timeless Isle and ported to Stormwind after each kill to turn wm on/off). Through this method I killed Huolon 4 times through the span of his respawn time (roughly 30-70 minutes). In the downtime I just did something else, either in the game or outside of it. If you have a bunch of characters across different CRZ between 30-49, you can obviously get in even more kills than I did.

As you can see, you still need to put some thought and effort into this farming method, but atleast you won't idle around - just farm him whenever you want and he'll most likely be up - good luck! :)

Comentario de Devaal

123 attempts.

Here is an efficient way to do it:

* Preferably RP server (very little competition)
* Place 2 characters on spawn, one with WM ON and WM OFF
* Often nobody is there, so whenever you log in its already in the air or spawn as you enter the world due to soft-world reset on RP realms.
* If it is not there, have NPCTime downloaded so you can check the 2 mobs at spawn when they were last killed to get an indicator for next spawn (30-60 minutes, most were just about 40-45)
* When I killed it I just waited about 30-40 mins and killed it again. There is no daily lockout on Huolon!

Good luck fellow mountfarmers!

Comentario de threninduil

FINALLY, Huolon dropped the mount for me yesterday on the Kirin Tor server.

I first started trying to get Huolon to drop the Reins of the Thundering Onyx Cloud Serpent back when Timeless Isle first opened.

I initially was trying to get the mount on a medium population server up until this year. About three months ago, I started a new toon on the lowest pop server I could find and set out to get all the mounts that I was getting a lot of competition for, namely the Time Lost Proto Drake in Northrend. When I was reading about strategies for Time Lost, I found that on older expansions, zone servers will shut down (or go into some sort of idle mode) after 15 minutes after the last player has exited that specific zone. So for Storm Peaks, I logged on and waited in Storm Peaks for 2 hours (the minimum spawn time for Time Lost) and then, in less than an hour later, the mount was mine.

Now with that knowledge in hand, I headed for Timeless Isle. If no one is on the Isle when I log in to my parked toon, Huolon will spawn in as will the Champion of the Black Flame and Leafmender. Bufo and other rares will not spawn as part of the server reset routine. But Huolon will. Every single time.

Also, Huolon has a chance to drop the mount ever time you kill him during the day, not just the first time of the day. Mine dropped on the 9th kill of the day.

So those of you who are camping for 45 minutes to kill Huolon, stop doing that. Log off and come back on in 15 minutes, and if no one else entered the zone, Huolon will be there at the spawn point as you log in. If log in takes some time, he may be overhead or up the path from you so swing your camera around to check.

The lessons learned are, Huolon can drop the mount any time you kill him, playing on a ultra low pop server will increase the number of chances you get the mount per day and using the "15 Minute Method" will save you months if not years of playtime for this mount or any rare spawn mount in older expansions.

Good hunting to all of you!

Comentario de deepspace8

I was waiting there for it to spawn and what do you know? Another GLITCH like the countless that are backlogged by Blizzard that they REFUSE to patch. I had to go back around and I knew someone would kill it before me. Thanks again, Blizzard.

Comentario de RastovFriscox

Last week I finally managed to add this mount to my collection.
With working from home being a permanent change inside my company, I managed to kill him 10-12 times per day. I have 2 accounts so I could double the times I looted the rare, and got the mount after 86 = 172 kills. I did this over the course of 2 weeks, and of course looted him multiple times a day. This is possible with all rares on the Timeless Isle.

Avoid raid groups; only the party within the raid, from who the the tag on the rare came (dies instantly), can loot.

Comentario de DCCXVIII

So. You're trying to farm this guy for his mount eh? Let me teach you the ways. I got this mount on my 120th attempt. Camped him over the course of about 5 days. How did I get that many attempts in just a few days you ask? Here's some facts about the Timeless Isle and Huolon for you:

Like all the other rares on the Timeless Isle. Huolon does NOT have a daily lockout. You can farm him for his mount as many times per day as you can find him.
Don't be like the idiots on crowded servers afk camping for hours on a populated shard only for Huolon to get obliterated by either another player or someone not in your group or someone from the opposite faction within a nanosecond. That's the chumps way of camping this rare.
Create 3 or 4 toons. Each on a different low pop/dead RP server. Level them up to at least 40-45 and then park them at Huolons spawn. Which kind of toons you ask? There is only one, a Druid. Why? A number of reasons. You will need a ranged class for pulling. But stealth is the primary reason since you will be camping in a WM on shard. Dead RP realms with WM on are the domain of only 1 type of person. A mount farmer. But there are so few in this type of shard like you, that it's still worth doing. You will also want to be Zandalari since they get a racial glide ability which will come in super handy since it's basically a free glider. You will be using it since you will be farming some of the other rares on the Isle that drop pets. Some of these pets go for more than 300k.
Download the "NPC Time" addon. You will need this to know the status of your shard and Huolons spawn timer. You will also need the "weizPVP" addon to know if there are any enemy players in your vicinity before you un-stealth. Also download "Rarity". It will track how many kills you've had on him and give you the likelihood of getting the drop. It's also very helpful motivation-wise.
The Timeless Isle shard resets itself if there is no player activity within 15-20min. The moment a player spawns in the Isle, almost all rares instantly spawn. This includes Huolon. So with the NPC time addon, if you spawn in and see the shard has been up for more than a few seconds, you know that someone else is either on the Isle with you, or that they already killed Huolon and have left. Although it is worth double checking if Huolon is flying around as sometimes he is left alone despite this and is still up. It's easy to spot him if you spawn near his original spawn point since his path is pretty much fully visible (with the exception of when he gets near Ordons Sanctuary. But no one pulls him there.
Huolon is bugged and will likely never be fixed. The bug? If you do not attack Huolon before he passes that hill next to the broken tower near the start of his route (behind a tree), you will be unable to attack him because you will get the "Out of range" error despite him not being out of range. He will be locked this way and impossible to attack UNTIL he reaches the end of the second bridge area near where the Crane statue flying thing you can interact with is. So if he bugs out on you, just run to that location and wait for him. By the time he reaches you, the bug should have dissipated and you should be able to attack him. Sometimes however it doesn't and you will need to wait for him to fly around a second time to reach you before the bug is gone. On very rare occasion he will not bug out and still be attackable after he passes his initial spawn area. So it's always worth checking just in case. But 95% of the time it will be as I described.
When you make your toons, make sure to make them on servers that are NOT connected to each other. The last thing you want is to be sharded into a server that you've already killed him on. Just Google "wow connected realms" to check.
Huolon's respawn is approximately 45-50min. So if you spawned into a shard that has been up for about that time, it will be worth sticking around and catch him when he respawns. The only exception to that is if he doesn't get killed near immediately when the Isle shard activates. Which is rare but does happen, as I mentioned earlier. Some people camp the Isle for the valuable pets instead of Huolon or are working on the Isle achieve.

Good luck!

Comentario de kyneticwolf

If you are going to farm this in Chromie Time (I'm doing so with WM On but it probably affects both), I wanted to make everyone aware there seems to be an issue where Huolon is not lootable/drops no loot. I've killed him literally hundreds of time outside of Chromie Time and never had this happen. I've had it happen today twice in a row on my Chromie Time character alone, but it was working fine yesterday.

It can take a little under 5 minutes to kill him solo in Chromie Time, so to wait up to an hour for the spawn then fight for 5 minutes only to be met with a non-lootable corpse is pretty exhausting to say the least.

Unsure if it's intentional or a bug because I'm having a hard time finding any real information on it. The oldest complaint I've found about it was a bug report in the forums in 2020 with no real conclusion.

I'm only writing here because I haven't seen anyone else mention it and I want people to know if it happens to them, it's not just them. It's definitely a thing and hopefully someone here might have an answer.

Comentario de Daddo987

Just wanted to add this way to farm The mount, since i got this mount not too long ago after like 210+ attempts, it makes it way easier since you dont need to wait there for 30 to 60m spamming a macro to insta kill it and burn out because you didn't get the mount or didn't even get to tagged it. ( Sorry for my grammatical error, english isn't my main language just trying to help fellows mounts farmers out :) )

You need basically 1 Alt. ( or 2 if u want double the tries )

Steps:
-use the Chromie time line to lvl to get phased!
-bring them both to atleast lvl 30 its when you should get you flying ( Allience or Horde doesn't really matter changes just the tp to pandaria );
-Fly to Timeless isle to where huolon location is (watch out for the mob they hit kinda hard);
-to kill Huolon just bait his breath attack behind you, i personally hugged the wall right in front where it spawns; (there are more spot on where to bring him you can watch a guide on youtube doesn't really matter)
-Tadaaan you get the huolon kill easy whitout any issue, you can do this in BOTH wm OFF and wm ON, obviously wm OFF its way more easy since alliance and horde can share the tag when in wm ON only 1 faction can(but most of the time in wm ON there is nobody so its kinda of a free try).

thats how i farmed it, while waiting 30m i did an m+ and after that i went back again, for like a week straight, you can do that basically every 30m ( i did like 100+ attempts like this) takes way less time and effort you can even do it once a day if u really like it.
Hope its helpfull to anyone and relives your pain for this mount to farm ( since its really bad to wait 60 to get the tag stolen )

Cheers!

Comentario de Fapannen

After around ~95 kills (been farming Huolon for 6 days, averaging about 10-15 kills per day) , it finally dropped the mount.

As others have suggested, don't expect it to drop. My first 60 kills, I was getting mad that it did not drop. After cca 80 kills, I just accepted it and killed it with no expectations and voilá.

I used Chromie Time, with 4 different characters on 4 different realms (Be careful, these realms must not be connected!). One kill took on average 4-6 minutes, depending on crits. This means that I could just hop from char to char and farm Huolon in a continuous time with no breaks, as the Timeless Isle respawns after no player is present in the location for 15 minutes.

Dropped on a character in chromie time, lvl 30 (need 35 to actually learn the mount), Warmode off. It was 14th kill of the day.

The baseline guide is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiTMapWKvE4

This has been my first (and probably last) mount farm ever. The depression I've went through (even though its only 100 kills!) is not satisfying for me to endure again.

If this is your first mount farm ever, just keep going, it'll eventually drop!

Finally had Riendas del dragón nimbo de ónice tronador drop today after 400+ attempts!

The pain is finally over. A few tips for anyone still farming Huolon (or are wanting to).

Find or make a group. Grouping up with others make this grind a lot easier, more chance of getting a tag and less competition between players in the area also farming. There is nothing worse than waiting an hour for a spawn and not getting a tag!
Join the WoW Collectors discord, its great for finding others farming Huolon and you can swap between each realm, meaning more kills within a shorter period. Although this might be a bit more difficult at the present due to DF release and people busy with new content.
Do a set amount of kills a day. If you are on a large number of attempts (as I was) you are going to feel like giving up, but this really helped me keep consistent and resulted in me getting my mount eventually. I did two kills a day, the mount dropped on my first attempt of the day. Use a macro (I Cannot Stress This Enough!) - A simple target and cast macro makes a huge difference. Huolon has no damage buffer like the world bosses and dies within one hit, spamming your macro as soon as your rarescanner pings is the way to go! Class trials on RP realms are not worth the hassle (IMO), many are now busy with people doing the exact same thing. I found this method not worth the time.
And finally, as much as this farm can be daunting - especially when hitting those larger numbers, don't let others tempt you into using mouse recorders or scripts! People will report you and you could lose your account. It's not worth it.

Good luck everyone and keep grinding!

Comentario de Vlyse

360+ kills this week across multiple shards before it dropped. Felt rough. Also, it is always up in Chromie Time but I can't solo it. It probably is too hard/not worth grouping up as well. The scaling is much more punishing than, say, Chromie Time TLPD (which is soloable).

Last note: I waited the full 20 minutes each time for zone reset. 15 was often too short but YMMV.

Comentario de Noera

Huolon is not faction tagged.

The best way to camp him (and avoid /spit from fellow campers from the opposing faction) is by using a target macro which instant casts a non-harmful spell.
As a mage, I use Contrahechizo, which still tags Huolon to me, along with whoever else manages to tag him (generally by one-shotting him).

/target Huolon
/cast Counterspell

Also, remember to group people from your own faction and tell them about the strategy!

Happy camping :)

Finally got this after 200 kills... and about 5 hours of actual play time. 5 hours? How is that.

The Best way to farm this guy is shard generation. Grab a friend. But a class trial on every low pop RP server in both WM and non-WM.

1. Put your toons on spawn location
2. Fill up all the low pop RP servers with two toons on spawn location
3. Log into your shard making toons
4. If you created the shard (long load time and NPC time will tell you how long the adds have been up) invite your friend to group
5. Promote your friend.
6. ALT F4 out
7. Have friend invite you to group on your main
8. Kill Huolon.
9. Cycle through WM and non-WM

I lost count how many times I've actually killed him. I've several bugs with him. The most annoying where he spawns and sticks, even though you can target him and be next to him you cant hit him. You have to log out and back in. For whatever reason he's moving, but stuck in once spot on Your screen. I can't confirm if this happens to multiple people at once. But this bug has cost me a few kills. maybe 10.

But i've kicked this dragon's behind for years. Recently I made a mage just to WM camp him and have another toon normal camping. Last 3 days ive had about 6 hours of time to kill each day. Ive spent most of it logging back and forth with a timer. So far on my new toon I've acquired 17,000 timeless coins just killing him and 3-4 times I killed Leadmender to kill time since i'm always a little early usually(and cuz that pet is worth $$$)

Still don't have it. It would be nice if Blizzard kept an account wide list of how many times you've killed specific NPC#s across the board. I have to be sitting at almost 1k on my account as a whole over the last 9 years. These farms burn me out so bad. GL anyone farming him up.

Comentario de Nadalya

In regards to the glitch where he spawns but is unattackable:

I just started solo camping this after taking a pretty long break from it after getting burned out. I've never encountered this problem before but today, every time he spawned he would be targetable but I couldn't attack him. It kept saying that he was out of range. Apparently this is a pretty common glitch that's been going on for awhile. The only fix that I could find online was to log out and back in, at which point he would be flying around his path. However, he was still unattackable for most of the route even when he was "in range". After several attempts like this, running back and forth trying to find a location where I could actually tag him, I tried what one of the other commenters on here said and made a macro that targets him and immediately casts a non-damaging ability like Counterspell. On his next spawn, RareScanner went off as usual and he was still just hovering there not moving like before. However, after hitting him with the Counterspell macro, he immediately aggroed onto me and I was able to kill him without running around. I can't say if this is 100% guaranteed to get around the glitch, but so far it seems to be working for me.

Comentario de Edlarel

As of today (4/6/23), he still instant-spawns and dies to whoever just happened to spam their macro first.

Comentario de Agneil

I've submitted a guide on how to get the tag every spawn for the greatest chance at Reins - however I'm not sure how to request that it be a link to this page or listed as a guide here?

Comentario de hollycenations

As of 10.1, it seems that Huolon finally has a boss immunity shield on spawn!

Comentario de Defritz

Since noone seems to have mentioned it, seems like sometime between the release of Dragonflight (Patch 10.0.0) and Embers of Neltharion (Patch 10.1) they changed the way Huolon works. Now when he spawns you cannot one shot him anymore, instead he is invulnerable to damage for a couplde of seconds just like the four Pandaria world bosses. You can also share a kill with the opposite faction.

This makes farming this mount much easier since you won't have to compete with other players for the kill.

Comentario de bearistic

so he is glitched and unkillable at times. you need to LOG OUT, ALL 20 SECONDS.

Do not alt f4 or exit game. MUST be log out and must be the full 20 seconds.

Submitted a bug report and will every single time I see him. Please do the same.

Also, yeah he spawned in roughly 40 minutes. For what that is worth.

Comentario de Rathaitu

must be lucky, but it dropped on 3rd attempt right before server reset

Comentario de spudz76

They added a shield = nice
They didn't change his timer = not nice
I only started two weeks ago, thought it would be a good idea to have multiple alts on him
Timeless Isle merges dozens of servers together , even some RPs
result 5 toons at 60 on different server clusters all on the same Timeless Isle
3 toons at 60 on RP servers, 2 are merged on TI 1 has an almost abandoned server which I'll name as soon as I get Huolon, he's the last of the Pandaria mounts I need

Comentario de BinksMagnus

Got the mount today after 55 kills in a few days of farming. In the process I discovered a very efficient method of farming kills by forcing Huolon (and all other Pandaria rares) to respawn in a shorter time than it should normally be able to, which I am sharing here. Blizzard will likely consider this an exploit so use at your own risk.

This method abuses how (I think) the sharding process works. When you enter an area (like Timeless Isle) the game looks for a shard to place you in that is valid for the combination of your server group, Chromie Time status, and War Mode selection. If it cannot find an active shard, it generates one, and you can tell when this occurs one of two ways: 1) if the game is generating a shard for you on log-in, the game will freeze on the initial load screen for up to 20-30 seconds, 2) if you're flying into an area like Timeless Isle you will not be dismounted and can get almost to Old Pi'ju before the game populates Timeless Isle with mobs and dismounts you. Timeless Isle and other Pandaria zones appear to function differently than later expansion zones in that when a new shard is generated, almost every rare is spawned. This works for all Pandaria zones and can be used to farm 15-20 Zandalari Warbringers per hour, but can also be used to get Huolon to respawn around every 20-30 minutes.

Where the abuse comes in is forcing the game to cull this shard after you kill Huolon. How this works is speculation on my part based on my CS knowledge, but my suspicion is that when you log out of a shard and empty it, there is a period of time in which it remains active in case anyone else enters the area, and after this period of time Blizzard culls the shard on the back end to save resources. Once this has occurred, if you log back in or anyone enters the area again, Blizzard has to regenerate a shard.

So, with the objective of forcing the game to generate shards for you, this is the process.

1.) Have a character at least level 40 on a low population server group. I used characters on RP realms Argent Dawn-US and one on Feathermoon-US. Select War Mode On. I was not in Chromie Time, because I wouldn't have been able to solo Huolon if it was scaled, but if you can then your choice is up to you. Being Level 40 will allow you to kill an unscaled Huolon easily, and War Mode is typically less populated.
2.) Fly your character to Timeless Isle. If you notice game lag as described above, it's virtually a certainty that you now have a Huolon spawn. Go up to the ridge and check, kill it if it's there.
3.) Log your character out. I'm not 100% certain how long you have to stay logged out, but I never logged back in before 20 minutes and it (usually) worked. If it doesn't work, it probably means another player entered the shard, and there's not much you can do about that. Just log out and try again.
4.) When you get a very long load screen (it will hang around fully loaded for at least 15-20 seconds) Huolon should be there when you enter the game. Rinse and repeat as many times as necessary.
5.) If you need Zandalari Warbringer mounts, you can alternately fly around Pandaria and kill them between Huolon kills. The Jade Forest one is the least likely to be there because Jade Forest is frequently generated by Horde and Alliance players fast travelling, but the Kun-Lai, Townlong Steppes, Dread Wastes, and Krasarang Warbringers were basically always there for me using this method.

Comentario de greencatspryte

Just a comment, if you have the currency, it's well worth buying Artefacto perdido en el tiempo from Mistweaver Ku on the timeless isle - costs 7500 Timeless Coins. It's a trinket and when you equip and use, it transports you directly to the Timeless Isle. Big time saver :)

Comentario de eKatherine

On a dead realm there will often be no one camping him. He will fly away and circle overhead. Park 2 characters out on the hill between the two bridges 58,59, one wm on and one wm off. Log in and check once in a while. From that high point you can see him on most of his route. If you're serious, roll characters on several different dead servers that never resolve together.

Comentario de soleilles

As lvl44 Prot Pala in Chromie Time, no chance at all. The mobs in the island are also very challenging, but Huolon simply executes me. Don't waste your time.

Comentario de Cuffouis

The current reset timer for Isla Intemporal appears to be 15-minutes. This means if the zone has been empty for that amount time, that particular shard/layer will reset the moment you reenter the zone. This can be a highly effective method for farming rares for ¿Me da otra bolsa, por favor?, opposed to the traditional camping method of every 30-60 minutes, especially on RP servers, War Mode and Chromie Time groups.

Comentario de AnnoyedWithThis

Can anyone verify if a star will show up on the minimap for Huolon? I've had WorldBossTimers go off and declare he was in combat but there was nothing in sight.

Comentario de Cuffouis

Finally received after 347 attempts.

Comentario de Hanyah

As of today (may 9th 2024, 4pm GMT+1) patch 10.2.7, Huolon seems to have been hotfixed to be untargetable completely for a minute flying around.
I don't know if he's flying to a set unique location or if there is any variant but he seemed to be targetable when reaching the coordinates (71.74, 41.75), north of it's original spawn point.

Edit: Forgot to mention that the npc had a buff applied to it saying something about the timeways and lasting until targetable again.
I will gather more information including the spellid of the buff if possible in future spawns.

It is potentially an early change that was made in preparation for Mists of Pandaria remix starting in exactly a week.

(this happened on NA servers, Area52 US East shard cluster)

Update: It spawned again 58 minutes later, same thing happened but it didn't fly away this time, stayed immobile and unattackable for a minute until the buff Cronoestabilizándose ran out, but this time it was completely evading for another minute, looked around for a bit to see if it was a phasing issue and when I got back I would target its corpse but couldn't see it at all, it possibly became attackable after a bit, or is partially bugged.

Comentario de SidOsnola

I'm salty, cautionary tale (10.2.7).
Waited for an hour and at the end a mage came to wait with me. Huolon appeared in super Saiyan form and was targetable but not attackable, so we chased him on foot while spamming attacks, but he got out of our range. After a while I noticed the buff, but as it was waning he got out of our range again, and when I tried to use my movement skill the mage blinked frist and one shot him with an ice lance.
So thanks blizz for breaking an already broken part of the game in new and interesting ways, give me back my hour.

Edit: He got stuck on the next two attempts. Stayed targetable but "out of range" after the Chronostabilizing buff waned and did not move for 10+min. I went far away and came back to him flying his normal route and could kill him then. It was a one hit insta death, so still as annoying to get credit if there are more players camping him.
Also, he no longer appears in the mini map as a rare, and his portrait is a gold dragon. Same with some other rare elites such as Cinderfall, Archons of Ordos and Champions of the Black Flame

Comentario de AddictedPoi

Pandaria Remix: the boss spawns at the standard position (to the left of the end of the first bridge on the way to Ordos) with a buff that expires after a minute. Only then it will be attackable.
If the buff expires and you still cannot attack it, it means Huolon is bugged. It will reset after half a minute to another position: the end of the second bridge.
Apparently it is still considered a rare mob, not a world boss. This is why the respawn timer is not 15 minutes. 25 minutes in my case.

Comentario de Ezcett

Since the beginning of the WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria, Riendas del dragón nimbo de ónice tronador can be purchased for the internal event currency - 38500 Bronce. Over all these years, I scored 2560+ kills on Huolon, and still without a mount.
Huolon now respawns every 20 minutes, and has a buff Cronoestabilizándose that makes him invulnerable for 1 min.

UPD for ¿Me da otra bolsa, por favor?:
Holon's mount purchased from Hemet Nesingwary XVII + toys from Horos count towards the achievement!

Comentario de Swigglyswoosh

Have been farming Huolon on retail for the past couple of days. Respawn timer is 20 minutes after the kill of the previous one. I am able to loot each time and get various items so looks like a mount to farm all day if you don't want to save and spend 38.5k bronze on remix.

If you camp on the cliff by his spawn point, I have noticed around 90% of the time he will bug out and fly in one spot. If this happens, just relog and Huolon will be flying his normal path. He has a shield for approx. 1 min before he is attackable. Best place to sit is 72.43, 40.08 - this is the spot on his flight path where he becomes attackable.

Still waiting for mount to drop as I refuse to spend 38.5k bronze, lol.

Comentario de utakata

I wonder if people now gonna stop farming holoun with how you can get the mount in remix

Comentario de pipilas

Like most of the rares on timeless isle huolon gets reset with the island,meaning if no one is in the zone for 15 mins the zone shuts down until someone appears,then almost every rare of the island is up ....i had 4 toons on his spot and that way i was able to strike 60-70 kills per day until i got him in 3 days and 326 attempts. just dont waste your time camping ,there is an easier way
Good luck

Comentario de Soulsinger

Somebody's worked out a way in Pandaria Remix to rubberband him all the way from where he spawns at 65.4, 57.9 to Blazing Way at 70.1, 38.9 the very instant he becomes attackable and he dies instantly. No idea if that's a function of the trick that snaps him there or if he just got smeared so fast by the party waiting for him I didn't see the blow (I was locked into him with mind vision at the time). After all, people with 5000K+ hp don't take very long to turn things into a pink mist...

I've seen this happen twice now and I can't quite figure out how it's being done. The only commonality between the two parties was they both had way, way overpowered shamans but I didn't notice anything else unusual.
