This can be looted from the Crane Nest on the Timeless Isle.

Comment by Ardinur

This Azure Crane Chick is a new battle pet added in patch 5.4, and has a chance of being looted from the Crane Nests on Timeless Isle.

The Crane Nests are found in the jungle part of the island, and are pretty much anywhere where there are crane mobs. They spawn very close to the tree stems, and should be fairly easy to find.

Once you loot a nest, all the nearby cranes will become hostile, so you need to clear these after looting the nest.

The drop chance is pretty low, about 2 % for each nest. However, farming one does not take a long time, since the nests spawn quickly, and are common.

Edit: Found my chick! Took longer than I'd hoped - should have counted how many loots :( If you find more waypoints, post them here and I'll keep adding them!

Found mine after searching about 50 nests. Sadly it was green (common quality) in pet book.

For something with such a low drop rate ive gotten 3 in the past 16 hours >.<

Comment by Ellewhite

I looted this on my first nest. (Very happy about it, too!)

My husband has looted dozens of nests with no chick.

I have pets level 25. His highest pet is about level 7. He's wondering if pet level affects the drop. Anyone want to confirm or deny?

Comment by Rayanna

Although the item is bind on pickup, once you learn the pet you can cage it and then trade or sell it. Also, this pet is uncommon (green) quality when learned and can have different battle pet stats.

Comment by bozolino

looted two nests and got two of those guys... immediatly thought the drop chance was 100%, only to come here and find out it is about 2%

Comment by alphaomega16

Blue when picked up, green when learnt. What the hell blizzard.

Comment by Schadow

I can practically say that the drop rate has been decreased or I am extremely unlucky. It took me 126 loots before I got my Birdie.

Based on Wowhead data, it has a 2% chance (take it with a grain of salt), but it seems quite accurate. With a 2% chance, I would have a probability chance of 92.15694%.

Edit: typo.

I bought one of these from the ah. It's lvl 25 but i cannot learn it and i don't understand why. It says "can't add companion to your account". Has anyone encountered this probl? Could it be because i haven't raised any battle pet to 25 on my own!

Comment by lazareth

If you have routes and know how to manually edit the routes lua file, you can use this to get a routes entry for the nests. Not sure if I got them all but I got what I could find after about 2 or 3 runarounds.

I swear to any 18 gods you care to name they've taken this out of the game, I've looted so ... many...nests!

Comment by 5ive

Don't worry if you get attacked by the cranes while looting and the nest disappears, without you getting the Chick! The postman will send it to you in the mail.

I was infuriated with myself for not killing the cranes before looting, because lag caused it not to loot immediately, and then I got attacked and the nest disappeared before I could grab it... but the postman sent it to me and I was so relieved.

Comment by geekygirlish

Never been terribly lucky with drop pets. Not one of those who is "Gee got it on the first drop!" Lucky that as with the drop in popularity of Timeless Isle, this is a pretty easy forage. I can't imagine what it would have been like with a lot of people looting these. The nests are plentiful, they respawn quickly. Still haven't managed to find one of these chicks after two days of looting, but my advice is to take an alt that has a pet. If you are a higher level looking for battle pets, you can just move on without having to kill the aggro'd birds, just let your minion or pet clear them up. Speeds it up a bit and you'll only loot stuff you don't want anyway.

I spent several hours last night running around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to find these rare mobs/drops. So today I made myself a little guide to make my pet hunting smoother.

This is listed in order going clockwise from Huojin Landing:

Jademist Dancer - (25.5, 29.2) These drop from their big brothers and sisters. I like to clear them out and then run over to the crane nests and make a round while the Dancers are respawning.

Azure Crane Chick - (33.0, 42.5) These are looted from crane nests. They are found under trees all around the Celestial Tournament. Look for a cluster of several small chicks under trees, that's where you'll find nests.

Skywisp Moth - (Need Highwind Albatross) These are wild pets you can obtain by pet battling. Many of them are on high cliffs that are unreachable since we can't fly here. See Cielos's explanation on how to get up there.

Jadefire Spirit - (43.6, 40.7) (Cavern of Lost Spirits) These drop from the rare elite Spirit of Jadefire. He spawns randomly in different parts of the cave. The spawn time ranges from 30-60 minutes.

Ominous Flame - (43.6, 40.7) These drop from the Foreboding Flame mobs inside the cave, the same cave where the Jadefire Spirit drops.

Ashwing Moth - (East & South of Celestial Tournament) These are just normal wild pets that are caught by pet battling.

Bonkers - (58.0, 42.2) Inside the cave you will find Master Kukuru who will sell you a key for 500 Timeless Coins. Bonkers can be looted from the chests.

Flamering Moth - (Blazing Way & Timewalker Ruins) This is a wild pet that can be captured by pet battling. Seems like it's almost always a secondary pet to an Ashwing Moth or a Skywisp Moth.

Gulp Froglet - (64.0, 70.6) These drop from the rare elite Bufo. Bufo spawns approximately every 30-60 minutes. Killing the frogs in the area does absolutely nothing.

Dandelion Frolicker - (45.6, 72.9) These drop from the friendly Nice Sprites you see surrounding the trees with orange crystals on them. You "use" the purple crystals nearby to turn them into Scary Sprites so you can kill them. The purple crystals are on a spawn timer, so if you don't see them it's because they're not up yet. If you're standing near the tree, you'll see the purple crystal if it's up. (see mel9525's instructions)

Gu'chi Swarmling - (41.1, 81.2) These drop from the rare elite Gu'chi the Swarmbringer. He spawns at the south-east edge of Old Pi'jiu Village by the water then paths counter-clockwise around the village until he reaches the shore again. His spawn timer is approximately 30-60 minutes.

Skunky Alemental - (36.9, 76.5) These drop from the rare elite Zhu-Gon the Sour. Apparently he spawns with the "Skunky Brew" event that occurs every 30-60 minutes. (see defektunge's explanation)

Ashleaf Spriteling - (67.3, 44.1) These drop from the rare elite Leafmender. Follow the path from south of the Celestial Tournament all the way around to get here. On the left there will be a tree with sprites under it. You will be between two bridges. He spawns on the path just next to the tree. His spawn timer is approximately 30-60 minutes, but if he is killed and not looted it throws the timer off by about 30-45 minutes.

Ruby Droplet - (64.5, 27.1) These drop from the rare elite Garnia at the ruby lake. (see elfomal's instructions to get there) The spawn timer is approximately 30 minutes, but make sure you loot the body so it despawns otherwise it will take an extra 30 minutes.

Death Adder Hatchling - (31.0, 68.0) These drop from the rare elite Imperial Python. My understanding is that it will spawn in the place of a dead Death Adder. Focus on the south-west where they are more closely clustered together. (see Jaladar's method)

Spineclaw Crab - (28.7, 75.4) These drop from the rare elite Monstrous Spineclaw. For more information, check out Heathmonn's very detailed instructions.

TomTom Waypoints:
/way 25.5 29.2 Jademist Dancer
/way 33.0 42.5 Azure Crane Chick
/way 43.6 40.7 Jadefire Spirit/Ominous Flame
/way 58.0 42.2 Bonkers
/way 67.3 44.1 Ashleaf Spriteling

/way 31.0 68.0 Death Adder Hatchling
/way 28.7 75.4 Spineclaw Crab

Please let me know if the information I provided was inaccurate or if there is anything you feel should be added/removed. Thank you and go catch 'em all!

This took me 68 attempts! Not too bad of a farm.

Going To Need A Bigger Bag, this was the hardest achievement in Mists of Pandaria.
I got this on the last day of the expansion: 14 December in 2011.
For this achievement I've spend a total of 4 mounths playing 4 hours a day.
This achievement is hardest cause do you need loot rare items from rare mobs.
Even the rares having 30 to 60 minutes spawn the problem here is cause those rares has low hp and die fast, making you lose then.

Another factor that make this achievement hard, is because the items needed has low drop chance.
For example the Reins of the Thundering Onyx Cloud Serpent, this mount has 0.9% drop chance, and was my last item for conclud the achievement.
I've spend a total of 400 trys to loot this mount.

My strategy for don't lose my mind while doing this insane grind was watching one piece while the Huolon doesnt spawn.
The addon called Rare Coordinator was great to track the rare spawn times, but I guess it's doesnt work on Dragonflight, cause you need other players to tracking with you.

Don't forget to use move speed items and teleport to reach rares faster.

Comment by Shrimmp

As a pet collector, I already purchased one of these on the AH, which does not count for the Going To Need a Bigger Bag achievement. I clicked on probably hundreds of nests, trying to get a drop to count for the achievement. I couldn't find anything to support or deny that already having one in my collection could be preventing another from dropping, so after becoming frustrated, I caged the one I had and sent it to an alt. About two minutes later, I got the drop. This could be RNG, but it's worth a shot if you're in the same situation.
