Notice at this link Unborn Val'kyr it shows how you obtain it labeled as "northrend" as opposed to "achievement award" or "vendor" maybe a rare pet that spawns anywhere in northrend? or maybe the text is just unknown so they put "northrend". Who knows..... All i know is i wantz it! lol

Comment by evertonbelmontt

Such an awesome pet with so common/clumsy abilities..

EDIT: as of 03/30/2013, seems they changed some abilities, well done!

Must. Have. This. Pet!

Comment by TheWheatOne

Looks like a dwarf Val'kyr. So for the first time ever, I can say that that is a sexy undead female dwarf.

Comment by 355492

This pet looks AMAZING! I hope it's not too hard to get

Comment by kaycie

Mumper Tweeted it has unique spawning conditions... as of yet nobody on the forums or pet sites have figured out the spawn trigger.

Comment by clarkeyboy

Finally a Mini Tyrael for the masses!

Comment by bastler

I will keep a battle-stone ready for these.

Comment by datundra

OK, I have only found them 3 times, and today only (Saturday 4/20/13), last 4 days I have not seen any. 9am CST (Missouri). Was in Scourgeholme and flew just a bit west to area that shows "The Broken Front". That area there I have seen 2, tamed one and let another guy get the 2nd one. Both poor quality. This is also the area that is shown in the pictures all over the net. Coords are about 74.0 x 64.9

2nd place where I got another poor quality and a RARE was west of Icecrown Citadel, down on the lower area on the ground (The Court of Bones). This was about 9:15 CST or so. Coords were 47.9, 86.6 , same area where High Thane Jorfus was walking around.

Spent alot of time in The Storm peaks in the Valkyrion area, thinking it would be a logical place for them, but never seen a one.

I didn't do anything to get them to spawn, place I was by citadel, there is a couple of cockroach there i killed one time, but other two times, I was just sitting there while playing on the other monitor and it spawned. One up north a bit, i was just flying over and it was there.

Lil' Angewomon. Must have this.

Comment by Goddessa39

Very much looking forward to this pet! Liking the touches of blue among the wings but am wondering if that is just one touch of color like most of the crabs on the beach have.

Does anyone know if it makes any screeching Valkyrie noises or hatchiling?

Comment by paulodemoc

I was just wondering, about the pet description... what if we use that staff, Nibelung, to summon a Valkyr and vanquish a creature of high nobility (northrend rare?) to trigger the spawn of the pet on that zone? Anyone tried that or something of the sorts?

Comment by paulodemoc

It was confirmed that it has nothing to do with player killig bosses or finishing raids:

Comment by Ozlem

*5.3 reset our pet teams, before capturing make sure you have a team loaded up and ready to go our you will be unable to engage in battle*

About this pet actual

She is a lvl21-23 Undead pet. Use a critter to weaken her faster.
She brings two other pets to the battle & they are either Critters, Beasts or Aquatics, depending on the zone you are in.
She spawns in all qualities
She can now fly thanks to the latest hotfix
Her known breeds are: B/B, H/H.

She has two 'death' abilities which are Haunt & Unholy Ascension

These two abilities are often confused when trying to capture her. Both spells cause the Val'kyr to die, UA is a perma death while Haunt is not. From my understanding UA was hot fixed so she wouldn't cast it as often in the wild (as this makes it impossible to tame her) while Haunt is what a lot of players are seeing in battle. Unfortunately if you get the one which casts UA you will need to keep hunting for a new one. The issue with Haunt is it's still hit or miss so she can end up perma dead anyway! If Haunt misses or if your pet which Haunt was applied on dies the round Haunt is due to drop off your Val'kyr will remain dead. To save yourself this heartache I recommend using a pet which has a heal ability so you can try to keep it close to full HP until haunt goes off. Also it's worth the risk having a high hitting pet in your team in case you do get a val'kyr with UA ability as it gives you a chance to knock her down quick and trap before she casts UA.
**Please note if you DC, forfeit or lose the battle while she is in this dead state she will not respawn for you. If you forfeit the fight while she is alive she will respawn as any wild battle pet would. Also during PvP pet combat I've found Haunt appears to miss more then hit which in some fights will cost you a win, just FYI.**

VIDEO
This pet resurrects critters from death! (such a cool feature that is unique to this pet!) User Illumina4 has created a youtube video explaining the details about the abilities of this Val'kyr as well as taping the critter resurrection animation (very cool, I love this clip about this pet, thanks so much Illumina4!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHcu5SzXwcg

About the Spawn Locations
Please read all posts on the page, I've almost ran out of room so I can't go into too much detail on the spawn locations. I'd like to thank everyone who has posted their coordinates, when I had room I did thank you all but I've run out of room to thank everyone so now taken that feature down. I only found the Zul'Drak (Altar of Rhunok) so thank you collectors for the posted locations! Keep those Screenshots coming!

MAPS
Fantastic Map by user Myzou : http://s1346.photobucket.com/user/Fynzou/media/Northrend_zps234e9353.png.html
There is also one from user orchuntsmen, it's missing a handful but still it's got the right ones marked http://i.imgur.com/CRHFigN.jpg
There is also a map by user Lulleh, they've created a post just for it so +1 from me (hunt for it on this page) :D

Locations via Co-ordinates:
ALL of these are confirmed live sightings (awesome work finding them all fellow pet collectors!))

SHOLAZAR BASIN
- South West cliff near River's Heart, close to Aotona spawn.
- North Western Ridge of the Basin.
- Loque'nahak's northern spawn location. (safe spot to park a low level alt)

ICECROWN
- Court of Bones, near High Thane Jorfus spawn.
- South of The Shadowvault above the bridge.
- "The Broken Front" which is West of Sourgehomle.(safe spot to park a low level alt)

STORM PEAKS
- West of Grom'arsh Crash Site, in the valley.
- North of Tree of Life.
- North of K3 next to cave. (safe spot to park a low level alt)

CRYSTALSONG FOREST
- South of Violet Stand, close to cliffs.
- Forlorn Woods. (Almost on the first 'o' of forlon on the map.)
- West Sunreaver's Command.

ZUL'DRAK
- Look for the main path (that dissects Ebon Watch & Thrym's End), right in the corner of the first northern off path and that main road you'll find her.
- East of Altar of Ahunok.
- West of the entrance to Gundrak.

GRIZZLY HILLS
- West of Amberpine Lodge, across the river where the purple flowers are.
- In front of the last stairs to Zul'drak, just across the road a tiny bit.
- If you look at the map it is direct north of the 'L' of Dun Argol

HOWLING FJORD
- South of the lift to Vengance Landing. Where that rare, who I forget right now, patrols.
- On the road South of Nifflevar, she's right on the road. If you've hit the bridge you've gone too far. (safe spot to park a low level alt)
- South of Skorn, across the river on the bank.

DRAGONBLIGHT
- North in The Forgotten Shore.
- East of the top road leading to Wyrmrest Temple. Up where it becomes more broken.
- South of Azjol Nerub, across the road, close to Star's rest.

BOREAN TUNDRA
- Direct south of the 'd' in Death's End. (safe spot to park a low level alt)
- Southern area of Garrosh's Landing.(I've experience phasing issues at this spot, either that or I've witnessed her despawning here four times!)
- On the 'B' of Bor'gorok Outpost.

For TomTom way points hunt for user Gyllbane's & user Alisonder's post on this page.

Observations

Interestingly I have only seen, or read in reports, only one of her spawning in Sholzar, Storm Peaks and Zul'Drak however two of her spawn in both Icecrown spots. This was reported back in PTR and in live I have never seen more than one up.
I have never seen her up in two different spots at once, however, after a successful capture she tends to spawn faster then a failed capture. I only write this because after some guildies caught theirs she did pop up fairly fast 30min-2hrs, however after one reported a failed attempt we could not find one under the 2hr mark. This is just early on observations so take it with a grain of salt.**ok update on this: was on my low pop server and she was up in two spots at once, flew over her in Loque's spot in Sholazar and then in court of bones Icecrown. I doubt someone had captured her between the time I flew past one & got to the other so it's likely she was up at the same time. Thought I'd share that.**
As for timers, right now, it's too soon to tell. I had it at 6hrs but there are a whole bunch of new discovered spawn locations I never saw in PTR & mumper did say it wasn't as elusive as the Minfernal so it's likely she is popping up all over the place!
For those without co-ords head over to user Nalain 's post, they have got visual pin-points on maps. Clever post.

Any hot tips?
If you're just having bad luck finding her park some alts over some spots and just check in every now and then - I've marked the safe spots to park your low lvl alts. Good luck!

Comment by jihan

There is a lot of speculation about how to obtain this pet, a blizzard GM said "Players do not create the conditions under which it spawns" (paraphrasing) Meaning it does not spawn from killing a rare mob or finishing a raid. It also means it wouldn't spawn from using the Glyph of the Val'kyr, or dying in certain areas. I have my money on the Val'lyr invasion at the Argent Tournament. Or upon the spawn of some rare mob, or event starting. But I dunno, thats my personal theory and it is probably wrong, but its an idea! Any thoughts?

Edit - After checking the spawn points and doing some 5.3 live researching, it seems that these spawn spiraticly, and with little to no way to influence the spawning. They spawn in three areas per zone excluding Wintergrasp. From what I've read, one spawns at one of these three points every hour, on the hour... But this has not been confirmed.

Comment by Gontier

I came across this little Val'kyr in Storm Peaks right outside the cave north of K3. :)

Comment by Mellro

In the sleeping animation on the modelviewer, she scratches her butt.

She also shares animations with Mini Tyrael for the less observant, but im not sure if she will react to the /dance emote like Tyrael, her dance animation (in model viewer atleast) doesn't seem to be the complete emote either.

Comment by 950815

You know, this pet is actually really creepy. It's UNBORN Val'kyr. Does that make it the spirit of an unborn child? Because I'd rather not have on following me about if that's the case.

Comment by Hohen666

So I heard you like glyphed Spirit of Redemption so I put an Unborn Val'kyr in your char so it can heal you while you heal him.

Comment by minilich

can confirm court of bones as one place

logged on went to court of bones found one (a grey) pet battled it hit it once she then killed herself but her spell missed me so she did not ress :( bad times been looking since havnt seen another

im wondering if they are on a timer like some of the rare spawns (just a thought)

Comment by tmptfate

The Secret has been revealed by @Mumper!

Unborn Val'kyr Spawning Conditions
(Revealed by @Mumper during Interview at MMOreporter)

Random set of spawns across all of Northrend.~~, no set spawn points/areas at all.~~
UPDATE: Based on player sightings, Blizzard HAS set spawn points. Specifically, 3 spawn points per zone. So @Mumper either was misinformed or gave us false information.
Nothing to do with Rare spawns or their locations.
Weather DOES NOT affect the pet spawn.
Players can slightly affect the spawn time/location of another Unborn Val'k'yr by catching a wild one. (@Mumper did not clearly state what this means)

Unborn Valk'yre Unique Animation / Ability (While out of pet battles)
(Revealed by @Mumper during Interview at MMOreporter)
If a player has an Unborn Val'kyr summoned out of a pet battle and they run by a dead critter (not a battle pet), the Unborn Valk'yre will resurrect the critter! :D

Comment by 223389

Can it appear as a 2nd pet?

Comment by Sicrosis

Just saw one at the Zul'Drak spawn. Paladin beat me to it. My camp continues.

Comment by 1059528

I want to report that I found mine, 1 minute ago

Zul'drak 75,22 (near Gundrak)

Comment by 1052704

I Confirm spawn location in Court of bones 47.9, 86.6 where the rare spawn pops up. This spawn I have witnessed spawn most of any location. The spawns of the other locations seemed heavily camped. With NR being a cross server area it is increasingly difficult to find this pet with no one around... especially when several people have shot it and killed it out of spite just to anger anyone trying to tame it.

Comment by fizzfizz

Finally caught one! Just grabbed a gray quality pet at 68.10, 67.63 in Howling Fjord on Zul'jin. It was a primary pet and there were no weather conditions or anything. If you are using NPCScan, be aware that opening your pet journal is triggering the alarm atm. Once I realized that I was a lot less frustrated about valks I couldn't target haha. Good luck!

EDIT - for people without coords, this area is south west from the Explorer's League Big Lebowski reference camp. Right on the road.

Comment by elixis

Just found mine it was gray in Grizzly Hills. ( 26.57)

A side note I noticed, having npcsan showing the places where rare spawns are on the map is key. I noticed all coords i've seen posted are where rares spawn. I headed to one and found him there. So try checking where rares spawn!

Comment by 314271

Found one in Zul'Drak 24.3, 63.7 near Reed's Steam Tank.

Comment by tmptfate

Found a common quality one at in Sholazar Basin.

Comment by 288491

You might be able to increase your chances of finding this pet by using this macro in conjunction with NPCscan. Happy Hunting! :)

/cleartarget
/tar Unborn Val'kyr
/stopmacro

/run RaidNotice_AddMessage(RaidBossEmoteFrame,"Unborn Val'kyr!", ChatTypeInfo)

Comment by Spliff

I just got mine in Dragonblight at The Forgotten Shore (82,66)

Screenshot of where it was found: http://i.imgur.com/9MU1scL.jpg

Comment by Thyrus

Found at the previously mentioned Loque northern spawn point -- luckily, right after I put it into NPC scan! My heart's still racing!

Comment by Shdwbane

If you're having issues with NPCScan sending false spawn alerts.
It seems the pet journal caches the NPC's ID if it's being tracked.

Try the following:
1. Open pet journal.
2. Click filter.
3. Uncheck Not Collected.
4. Clear your cache.

If you don't have the Unborn Val'kyr, it should stop the alert.

Note: If you're in range of someone that has it summoned you'll receive the alert.

Comment by 707525

Okay. Found a Uncommon at 45:43 Howling Fjord.
Reading Wowhead and warcraftpets.com and now this..
I have come to the conclusion that Unborn Val'kyr has no real set areas where she spawns.
Seems to be any area that spawns pets, has a chance of spawning her.
Took me 2 hours of flying around to find her.

Hope this helps.

Comment by Koori

Got mine! Location: Grizzly Hills @ 61,18 ... there is a large flat rock there and at the time a non-pet mountain skunk. I marked it and kept checking back ... and after about 2 hours there she was. I'm not sure if the skunk despawned when she popped I forgot to look. (I'd seen this location mentioned on the o-forums the reason I knew to look there)

Comment by kellyislame

Found one in Grizzly Hills @ 79, 51 just northeast of Dun Argol.

I just want to let everyone know I held one at this location on a different server for a guild mate a couple of hours ago. When I released it so he could initiate the battle she disappeared and did not respawn as most wild battle pets tend to do. So be careful when trying to help out others.

Comment by Nalain

Using Ozlem's coordinates listed above, I've pinned the following maps - hopefully they help. According to others in this post, this should be all of the spawn points for the elusive pet.

Sholazar Basin
Icecrown
Storm Peaks
Zul'Drak
Grizzly Hills
Dragonblight
Howling Fjord
Borean Tundra
Crystalsong Forest

Comment by Shashos

Got a Poor quality one at 81, 48 in Borean Tundra, just northeast of Unu'pe! Good luck to all!

Edit: She doesn't fly? I has a /sad now. :(

Comment by Luxxy

Anyone have an Idea to how often they spawn yet?

Comment by IdTheDemon

Just got it at Howling Fjord (71,43). It's in the NE of Nifflevar on the eastern side of the map.Poor quality but I could care less.

Info on this pet is still very iffy but as you can see, this spawn area, let alone Howling Fjord, is not talked about as much as the Icecrown, Zul'Drak and Grizzly Hills spawn points. I had 8 alts camped all over Northrend but on my main, I just decided to fly around aimlessly around and see if I can find a new spawn point.

There are no doubt plenty of spawn areas so keep discovering them! Good luck!

Here's a pic: http://i.imgur.com/r4Qhsla.jpg

Comment by Kokiron

Just a heads-up: If you're using the WoWkemon mod and want to use NPCscan/SilverDragon to track this pet, turn the mod off and clear your cache. For some reason it's causing the alarm to go off on login. Ones like Pet Battle Breed ID seem to be fine, though.

Comment by 1005348

After almost 16 hours I finally found one. The great hunt is over! I got a new spawn for you guys! Borean Tundra: 47, 7 right outside Bor'gordok outpost, against the Sholazar mountains.

Here's a screenie. I didn't take one before because my heart was busy exploding. Being on a high pop server.. I just wanted it over. http://i.imgur.com/oXEQj5Z.jpg

I literally just flew around on my main, and camped alts in other popular spots.

Comment by Whitexx5

Dragonblight 64.4, 43.7 (The large open field north-east of Wymrest Temple). Captured a poor quality level 21 there just now. :) Good luck hunting!

Comment by The0o

Just found a poor quality one at Icecrown - Hugging the wall in the Court of Bones, High Thane Jorfus spawns in this area.

@ 1030 EST.

I left my monk there to watch the spot while i flew around Northrend, I switched to see if she was up and there she was :)

Protip : She looked an arctic Hare when i logged in. I dont know why. I could have been a post patch error or the height i was hovering at but meh.

Comment by TarrynItUp

I got this little one today on the live 5.3 patch in Grizzly Hills, just North East of Dun Argol, US Saurfang, server time 9:33pm at co-ordinates: 79. 60, 50. 79. This position has to my knowledge been reported on three separate occasions as a confirmed spawn point for this gorgeous little pet. The pet was uncommon and her attacks are weak against water pets.

On a side note I have been flying the skies of Northrend since 6am this morning and after almost getting ready to give up for the night, I was curiously watching some elite tree giants glitch out at the time when she spawned in right next to me.

Don't give up guys! If you don't find her, she will find you ^_^

Happy Hunting :D

Edit:
Removed picture links due to Image Shack account closing because they HATE ME OR SOMETHING... anyhow.. Sorry all but happy hunting either way <3

Found a "poor" one at Grizzly Hills 61, 18 last night ~11:20pm server time. The Venture Co. (US)

Comment by gummiebear007

For those of you who have found one, were you going from someone else's coords, or were you just flying around? I'm trying to figure out if there are common spawn points, or if this pet can spawn in place of other pets.

Comment by 1122190

Since I'm a new member, it won't let me post a link to my picture, but I found one in Dragonblight, just NE of Wyrmrest Temple.
Good luck to those still looking!

NPC scan goes off as soon as I log in. Is this happening to anyone else? Its doing this without me opening my pet journal btw

Comment by Zanobia

can anyone please tell me what her NPC number is?

Comment by SugarBunny

I was doing my rounds searching for this pretty pet when I stopped to look up if anyone found new spots she spawned at. And sure enough I was in Sholazar Basin when I read Dayna920's comment. They didn't post cords but I still checked in that area and my silver dragon went off and I caught her! =D
Her Breed ID was H/H
Poor Quality but it's good enough for me till I get a stone. Just happy I was able to grab one.
Her cords are 44.47, 69.59 at Wildgrowth Mangel and here is a screenshot.
Thank you again Dayna you lovely person! <3

I found one at borean tundra at the Coast of Echoes this morning at 9.43 on Jubei'thos, i made a macro /tar Unborn Val which helped heaps so i could fly around and just spam the button... it was poor quality but i'm happy either way...npc scan is currently BUGGED at the minute and not working correctly but the id is 71163, bear in mind if you open your pet journal it will go off and you will have to clear you cache :)

Ammy i have no idea it seems that near enough every single comment to do with this pet has been down voted..

Comment by Forumchibi

I was fortunate enough to find this pet tonight in Grizzly Hills, northeast of Dun Argol (coordinates 79, 51) as others have said. I was about to go to bed and gave it one last look.

First of all, I will confirm that NPCscan does work, as it triggered when I reached that spot in Grizzly Hills. However, I did get a few false alerts even when standing still, and of course if you open your pet journal, it will very likely trigger, even when I had 'not collected' turned off for me.

I did not kill anything, I did not fight any other pets in the area, I simply happened to be flying toward Dun Argol since others talked about it (I didn't even know the coordinates, just that it was NE of Dun Argol), and it was there when I arrived. I never saw anyone else around before, during, or after the battle.

Also, the spawn time is apparently not that long, potentially as little as only an hour or so. One person who saw me in Zul'Drak added me to their friends list while I was raiding/camping a spot in ZD on my alt, and told me about an hour before I caught mine that they caught one in Borean Tundra (and I did check their Armory profile to make sure they weren't kidding about getting it). I finished raiding early and they messaged me around 11:20-30pm server time, and I got mine at around 12:40am.

I started off at Zul'Drak in the middle, and worked my way down to Grizzly Hills since so many people seemed to have good luck there. When NPCscan went off, at first I was nervous since the paw icon disappeared from my mini-map before I hovered over it, and I thought it was another false alarm or that someone else happened to grab it before me, but then it refreshed and appeared. Phew!

The fight was fairly easy for me. I only "needed" two level 25 pets, a Bandicoon Kit (used Tongue Lash twice which luckily hit enough times to bring it just under 35%, took 4 attempts to catch it) and a Nether Faerie Dragon. The Val'kyr came first (common rarity), and after I caged it, my Bandicoon was down to about 35% health. I was able to get the second pet down to 20% or so, and even though I still had Survival, I decided to swap out to the Nether Faerie Dragon, which finished off the second pet and third without taking much damage at all.

The other two pets were just normal common woodland creatures, nothing difficult. The Val'kyr never suicided on me, maybe because it was still near 30% health it didn't find it necessary.

Good luck to everyone! It's a great looking pet, and I've been hearing of more people getting it than I thought, especially since it just came out, so hopefully it's not *that* rare (or maybe I'm just disillusioned since I'm usually really unlucky with things like this).

I finally caught mine at the location in ZD on the North side of the road where the giant mob pats. The coords were 24 63.

A nice bit of info for those speculating spawn times:

At around 11:45 pm Mountain time one of my guildies shouted in chat that she had just caught one in Grizzly Hills. We discussed her strat for a moment before I decided to take one more ride around the "block." Only 11 minutes after she caught her's, I caught mine there in ZD.

I don't think the spawns are very long in between. It's more of a matter of finding the new one when it has spawned.

Good luck to those in search!

Found one on Tanaris server on the morning of 05/22/13 at about 8 am server in Icecrown right under Chillmaw's flight path.

Comment by Etain

Did anyone else notice that after capture their nameplate is really high above their head?

Comment by Oritha

Just caught mine on Jubei'thos at 3.50pm Server time in Borean Tundra at 80.73, 48,26.
I used a snail pet against her and I ended up killing her but thank god she is undead and rez so I could capture her!

I flew around for about 4 hours today and 6 or so hours yesterday looking for this beauty and I finally have her!

Comment by 979916

I can confirm the spawning point in the Court of Bones - near Icecrown Citadel in Icecrown. Coordinations are roughly 48/87 where my Silverdragon spotted it...

It felt like I'm about to have a heart attack lol,since my heart was already skipping beats almost at the sight of every green paw on the known spawn locations just to mouseover it and find out it's nothing else but a measly Arctic Hare/Mountain Skunk... Since I was not sure if Silverdragon will pop up the NPC or not,due to me forgetting to clear cache after NPCscan false alarm :(

More info regarding the pet:
1. It was a poor quality.
2. There was no special weather effects or anything like that.
3. After capture - the pet is BB breed and is level 21 with stats as follows: HP 1045(1225) / P 189(225) / S 158(188)
4. Secondary pets were 2 cockroaches.

The capture happened on Argent Dawn EU at roughly 9 am (due to the euphoria when I saw that it was actually there,cannot state the exact time.)

Pet combo I used - Celestial Dragon + Kun-Lai Runt + Terrible Turnip. It worked great. I used Celestial Dragon for the initial hit,swapped to Turnip to get it low enough for capture to not risk killing her,caged her on 2nd try once she was low enough,switched to Runt and completely destroy the cockroaches.

She also did not use her Haunt ability on my attempt,no clue why not,perhaps because she was low enough all the time till she got caged.

Good luck to you all!

Comment by Melann

I just caught this pet at 65,41 in storm peaks (this location has been listed numerous times). It was caught on Frostmourne US at 5.50pm ST

It seems like it does have some set spawn points. I no longer had time to fly around so I camped an alt at those coords and she was waiting for me when I logged in

Comment by Vermagnison

Caught mine @ approx 5:00 am EST on Area 52 @ 48, 86 in Icecrown.

Comment by Tree

Edit 5/23/2013
Mumper confirmed via Twitter that the Val'kyr has 27 spawn locations rather than being completely random. It appears we've found them all! You will probably still be better off flying between known locations rather than camping, at least until the "big hunt" dies off as other collectors snag theirs. Good luck everyone!

Original post:
I think that these little gals have a chance to spawn on any battle pet location in Northrend, along with all the "voids" that lack battle pets, such as the coastline in Sholazar. This truly is a "needle in a haystack" pet, from the look of things.

I decided to go hunting around 45 minutes ago and began studying the recorded catches listed both here and on Warcraftpets. From what I've seen, it really appears to be random; some spawn on or next to roads, others in the middle of zones or on ridges. Some spawns are exactly on other battle pet spawns (via map addons like Pet Tracker). I decided the best strategy would be to just fly around and cover literally every inch of every zone. I ended up snagging mine at 18,57 in Crystalsong Forest, which I believe has not been recorded yet.

I think that actively flying around spamming a targeting macro will give you much better odds than camping a known spawn location and competing with several others. In fact, I flew past a few of the recorded coords, and each one had 2-5 people just sitting and waiting for who knows how long. Check in on known spawn locations while doing a flythrough, but I highly suggest NOT camping them.

Happy hunting!

Comment by 1121894

I caught mine this morning at 6:05am in Borean Tundra at the 47, 8 location. I've been camping that spot since reading about it yesterday afternoon further down the thread.

Captured today exactly @ Grizzly Hills - 79.6, 51.7. She respawned in about 3-4 minutes after I got mine.
Happy hunting!

Comment by 628034

Servers restarted at 10am est on my server Zul'jin. As soon as they came back up I started going through my 11 characters that were parked at various known spawn points. I found a common in Howling Fjord at cords 68,67 right next to road. Glad this is over good luck to all still searching.

Comment by Piffnifty

Has anyone else had trouble capturing this cute pet due to Unholy Ascension? I've read so far that it was allegedly hotfixed but twice now I've entered combat with an Unborn Val'kyr which had this ability, and used it to my horror.

Comment by AshElda

I had been flying all around Northrend to all the known spawn points for about 4 hours when I finally decided to just camp one spot, I picked the spot right above the first O in Forlorn Woods in Crystalsong Forest, I think the coords are 43.3, 44.0. I only sat there for about 10 minutes before a little green paw print popped up, I almost dismissed it because I was on the verge of giving up and finding something else to do but I decided to look.... And oh my god it was her, and oh my god it was a rare, and oh my god I'm soooo happy I can stop farming for her now. Good luck everybody, they do exist :D

Sorry for the crappy quality of the pic I was in to much of a hurry to up my settings and make it pretty but I wanted to show proof, I've heard there's been a lot of people just spouting out random coords.

Comment by Galaxas

Just found a new spawn point in the Storm Peaks at around 29.50, in the snowdrift Plains right above the Temple of Storms, a little to the west.

I can confirm she resurrects dead non-combat companions when idle. :) Super cute!

Comment by Issalice

Cyrstalsong Forest west of Sunreaver's Command. Went there after reading a comment on here. It isn't a heavily camped or flown over spot. Only waited about an hour and a half when she spawned. Didn't use haunt either.

Comment by ammy1991

been camping the north loque spawn on and off for 9 hours now still no sign of one of these lil babies but alot of people seem to keep turning up here

Comment by skikki1985

Finally got mine today on EU-Dragonblight 00:40 ST on Storm Peaks that is confirmed spot. I got a good news to confirm too, i was there around 23:40 and a guy grabbed Val'kir more faster then me. I decided to swap btw my placed alts waiting for 1 hour. and this is the new, Val'kir respawned when i caught in that same place. So mean probably respawn timer as someone said ,can be 1 hour. Atleast for me was.GL on her guys :-)

Stay away from Icecrown and Basin, lots of people camping, go to the starting areas of Northrend, noone but me was flying arround hoping to get one of this beauties.
Rare at second catch!

Comment by cutiepielindz

I can confirm that this pet spawned at 33,60 on the Coast of Echoes in Borean Tundra. That's where I caught mine.

Also, worldofwarcraft.com has a great pet battle forums where people offer trades for this pet. I had someone added as a battletag friend and they found me one for my Lil Curator pet. They were on The Venture Co. realm which is currently CRZ free.

been looking now for 6 hours, Zone hopping hovering and waiting for 20 mins or so, i tell ya this Valk is a smart one

Comment by 1122483

I can confirm today that she does spawn in Sholazar Basin in the north side 56.00, 23.95. After catching my first one at 9:32 pm server time I moved on to Icecrown and to my disbelief there she was again at 47.00, 85.00 area catching my second one at 9:35 pm . So I caught 2 within 5 minutes of each other after 2 days of looking for them. One thing I have to say is that I was in party with a friend in a low pop server. Happy hunting!

Comment by 223389

So the question now is (since all spawn locations have been found), which method will find your Val'kyr faster? Camping one spot or flying from location to location?

Two different approaches with pros and cons.

Comment by Romire

So after 5 hours of looking i headed back to Icecrown, i headed to 73,64 and lo and behold i find it.

It was a grey version, but i didnt care, i just wanted the pet

Just found one all on her lonesome under Chillmaw's flight path - Icecrown 43 33, server time 12:13 am. She was a poor quality, secondary pets were two cockroaches.

ETA: she respawned about 5 minutes after I caught mine.

Comment by 1122324

Yes, i am the happy owner of an Unborn Val'kyr, found mine at the spot -plain of Echoes- in Stormpeaks. It was a common quality but knowing she would come saved a undead battlestone for her.

Comment by cronight

Well this is just my opinion, but I hope will be help you to catch the cutiest pet atm:

1st Avoid havy camping area like Icecrown and Sholazar Basin
2nd Try focus on camping in Grizzly Hills since area is not too much big and spawn points are not too far away from each others, so you can check all 3 very fast
3th The spawn points in Grizzly Hills are: 61,18 / 26,57 and 79,51
4th While you flyin to Grizzly Hills (ofc from Dalaran), you can choose route accross Crystalsong Forest where is another spawn point at 17,57, then go to Dragonblight and check also at 82,66 and continue to Grizzly Hills to check all 3 spawn points

So all in all you can check 5 spawn point in only couple of minutes hoping you will find your pet.

Happy hunting to all of you and never give up, yes camping is not easy, but nothing like camping Loque (spent 23 day to finally tame him)

Cheers

Comment by 1122324

After finding the Val'kyr decided to turn my husbands pc on and try to find him one to, what a luck found his ( within 15 min ) in Sholazar at the mentioned location at 36.8-19.2 he has cords lol, so happy hunting to all.
We are on Wildhammer servertime 9.40 am.

Comment by tierajewels

Fellow Pet Hunters!

If you have gotten your Unborn Val'kyr, Congrats! Really,I truly mean it.. however, please, please, for the love of all things good in Azeroth, do NOT fly around to other spawn points where fellow pet hunters are camping and pull your pet out to show off. It sets off scanners and might give them a heart attack, (trust me I know, I just had one!) So, please be nice to your fellow Val'kyr hunters and don't make them have to relog to clear their cache or give them heart attacks! Thanks!

<3 Human DK who just got her heart attack from a very happy Blood Elf Mage :P

Comment by 1122509

I just found one in Sholazar Basin, coords 44,69! She spawns at the same place where the rare Aotona can spawn. She was a grey one, but have a battle stone ready for her. Happy hunting everyone!

Comment by IceWolfDK

Haunt can be rather difficult to time, yes and it WILL cost you a fortune in bandages.

I recall hearing about blues wanting you to be mindful of its use and not casting it willy nilly. But consider the superbuffed beasts of fable, perhaps it might have an use there?

However dont overlook Unholy Ascension as an alternative. If you cast it -before- you die, then it triggers undeath and you get a mollestation free turn to cast a final !@#$ you suprise in an empowered Curse of Doom.

Comment by ammy1991

need tips and tricks wasted yesterday camping i realy want one of these but is it better to spawn camp and hope one spawns or keep flying around northrend i have 2 chars on 2 diff CRZ realms also is it a good idea to park alts at spawn points and keep logging around?

Hi all! I got my Unborn Val'kyr today in Crystalsong Forest right after server restarts. Southwest of Sunreaver's Command, still on the snow part. You will see a little critter (squirrel) and a treant NPC hanging about. That's the spot - at least it was for me. Quality was uncommon :). Good luck all!

can confirm it spawn at Forlorn Woods in Crystalsong
just found 1 at 19:00 server time in outland Eu

Confirmed again on Dragonblight at The Forgotten Shore

"Chooser of the Slain", indeed

Comment by 818641

I can confirm that she does spawn at Howling Fjord 68.10, 67.63 location. I can also confirm that she does now fly with you. Also to those of you who cant get her to rez critters, she does, you just have to sit next to the dead thing for like two or three minutes, hope they make her respond faster. I have not gotten her to do the sleep emote, even when i went afk for thirty minutes. Also one more thing, for some reason her target box is higher than the visual model, what i mean by that is when ever an enemy pet hits her with an ability or you put a target marker icon on her etc. it goes way above her head. I dont know why this really bugs me but I also hope they fix this as well. Overall, this is an awesome pet to have.

Comment by Issalice

The Val'kyr pet now not only flies with you but will keep up with you. Yesterday whenever I mounted and ran even a short distance she disappeared, now she keeps up and flies. I believe the idle animation is a little faster as well. She rezzed a dead critter after about 30 seconds, give or take a few.

It was Uncommon Lv21 Breed: #3 B/B, named here Angewomon <3

You can summon her while flying also ^^

Comment by Caspien

Just caught a poor quality one on the western coast of Borean Tundra (right where the coords indicate).

Much thanks and appreciation go out to the folks keeping everything going on this :)

Comment by Etta

Borean Tundra 48,8 is the spot as far as I am concerned. I found one there on 5/22/13 and my Cinder Kitten annihilated it. I wanted to cry. I flew to all the other spots people talked about and searched for many hours now seeing another (on both Shattered Hand and VeCo). Today I logged in at the same spot and there was not one. I checked my other monitor for something, looked back and there she was. I was smart enough to use my turnip this time. She did not use haunt on me at all making it a very each catch. She came with two shore crabs. Others have stated that she comes with aquatics so my moth made quick work of them. Good luck guys!

Comment by SomeSocio

I would like to thank the people commenting the locations, it helped me alot, I finally found one where I had my hunter camped on the Howling Fjord 45, 43 spawnpoint almost on the dot. (Below Skorn)

It was poor quality B/B but that's alright since I already had a battlestone ready.

Also wanna add that people really gotta stop hunting for a rare, Ive seen several comments where people are saying they got their rare after this and this kill, Let other collector's get it too. There's always stones you can get to upgrade and the Flawless Battle-stone doesnt cost all that much.

Comment by Kokiron

I mounted up and took off with her out just now and she is now following my flying mount, so they must have fixed it during the restarts this morning

SS: http://i.imgur.com/xcBuop2.png

Comment by Coriam

Beware of people who have theirs summoned whilst in Northrend: if you're using NPCScan, it'll catch the player-pet version as well as the wild one. Keep the macro posted by Shaw handy so you don't have to log out to clear your cache more than once per circuit.

Comment by 555434

After wasting a couple of hours scouring Northrend and all of the confirmed spawn points for this pet, I decided to throw in the towel.
However, I am going to try the method I used to get a Stunted Yeti. I have logged my death knight by the spawn point near Death's Stand in eastern Borean Tundra. I logged out at 9:20PM server time (05/24/13; Vek'nilash) and I will periodically log in and check to see if an Unborn Val'kyr is up.
Hopefully this won't take weeks, but I just want to see if this method is successful.
I will edit this whenever I catch one.

Comment by Paulosio

I found mine at the south east Howling Fjord spawn at 4:50 AM uk time on Alonsus EU.

I added the pet to NPC Scan (Unit ID 71163) and the addon detected it for me. Just make sure you turn of your pet journal enhanced addon when searching... With pet journal enhanced running I was getting false alerts for the pet from NPC Scan.

Comment by MilaPriest

Finally found my Unborn Val'kyr in Zul Drak, around Altar of Rhunok. I know location is totally random but you might wanna check there. Happy hunting all =)

Comment by Xilu82

Apparently I get stuck with the @ssholes on my server... People flying past you repeatedly with the pet out to trip your npcscan and such. Just say no to being a %^&*, please.

Comment by Riven

After compiling all of the information I've read over the past couple of days, I think I've figured out the best strategy for finding an Unborn Val'kyr. I started out flying between all of the spawn points repeatedly, switched to camping a few times, but the one thing that was effective for me was this:

1. Park 3 of your toons at each of the 3 spawn points in a particular zone. (I put 3 of my toons at each point in Borean Tundra.)
2. Cycle between the 3 toons until one spawns. A friend of mine caught one exactly on the hour at the Northern Borean tundra spawn point. So I decided to check on the hour as well. At 4am I checked all 3 spawn points and there was a Val'kyr up at one of them. The point it chooses to spawn at out of the 3 is completely random. It CAN be the same one twice in a row. Or it may not be.

It can possibly be deduced that every hour, on the hour, an Unborn Val'kyr spawns at 1 of the 3 points in each Northrend zone. By having a toon on each spawn point in one zone, you should theoretically be able to capture one within 1 hour.

If you have been spending many hours trying to get a Val'kyr, please try this strategy and see if it works for you. You can also recruit to friends to sit at the spawn points for you if you don't have 3 alts for it or you're on a server where you wouldn't have enough time to swap toons.

Good luck!

Comment by nihmue

This pet is an absolute beast in the Beasts of Fable quests!

Curse of Doom and Unholy Ascension make a sublime start and damage buff for any fight.
I found when following up my val'kyr with a pet like one of the Zandalari Raptors (the Foostlasher in my case) and using Exposed Wounds (not even sure it's needed) and then Hunting Party will down legendary pets in just a few moves :)

Comment by 201663

I caught this pet with common quality today in Dragonblight at 65.2, 35.4.

I did not have to preform a 'ritual' wich some people thought at first.
Seems like it's just a rare spawn.

Good luck to you all!

Found one.

Run'ok altar in Zul'Drak.
Knocked her down to 30%, tried to cage her... stupid trap continuously misses... suddenly she just casts haunt and dies.

Great.. a rare pet that commits suicide mid fight.

Comment by xAndreea

I can confirm that she does ressurect dead critters, you just need to be patient! Proof here.

Comment by 1122809

Confirm Storm Peaks 65, 41. Grey, and she killed herself before I could trap. :/

ETA: I'd just battled a pet on the ground next to the spawn, as soon as I stealthed she popped right up.

Comment by Crimsonshade

After flying around multiple times to every spawn point, I waited on the "O" of forlorn woods in crystalsong forest from 11pm til 1am. I cleared npc scanners cache, making sure to untick uncollected pets in the journal so it didn't set it off. Be very careful, it was a poor quality and my landros lil xt oneshot her with one zap, I didn't anticipate it at all. Thank god she's undead because I threw a box when she ressed and thankfully got it. H/H breed, battlestoned immediately :)
Good luck to everyone, called mine Hildr.

Found one in Storm Peaks 41,78. Common quality, 8:52 pm server Kirin Tor. Will use a battle stone on it. :D

Comment by nms21202

Just caught mine 15 mins ago, 9:45pm EST, Garrosh server, at 45 43 in Howling Fjord. She was common quality. Wasn't camped there more than 5 minutes and she spawned. This spot is great because there was no one else there.

Comment by Joe1113

Anyone else finding the similarities between the Unborn Val'kyr and the Time Lost Proto Drake astounding? Pure luck and RNG BS! Is this really what Blizz is reduced to? Making time sinks and other ways for us to fly around/camp endlessly? Sounds like this wouldn't be so much brain damage if Cross-Realms didn't exist...I wonder who's stupid idea that was.

Found mine, poor quality at The Dragon Wastes in Dragonblight (65, 35).

01:55 AM EST - Kael'thas - 79, 52 Grizzly Hills. Total time spent searching about 4 hours, just flew from each waypoint and this one spawned right under me, almost fell out of my chair. Green quality with a nice undead stone in the my bag.

Comment by Pfenix

There are some absolute mean idiots in this game...be happy you have been lucky enough to catch an Unborn Val'kyr....but don't go around with your pet out and stand at spawn sites to set off NPCScan for those of us who have been trying for almost a week now with no luck....that's just rude and, believe me, KARMA will find you!

Comment by nonentity

Warning: If she's 'dead' during the fight, don't give up yet.

I just found one, fought her, took great care not to kill her (had her in capture hp-range, then she healed and I had few attacks that enough damage to not kill her but get her hp low) and suddenly *bam* she's dead. From 380HP to 0 and I didn't even do *anything*, I switched pets ffs.

I was shocked, frustrated, angry, and gave up in the hopes that *maybe* she'd pop up again, as some pets do when you leave combat.
She didn't.

But just now I re-checked her abilities and it might have been that she used Haunt, which causes her to appear dead. So hell, maybe she would have gotten up again after the spell ran its duration or whatever. Now I'll have to find another one, crap.

Comment by Isilvara

I really must reccomend the addon TomTom for hunting this pet, especially as NPCscan is a bit off when it comes to cache'ing battle pets and critters.

http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/tomtom

Basically, the addon will setup the co-ordinates which the Val'kyr will spawn on on your map and minimap both .Once you have the addon installed and activated, you simply activate these three macros to implant the co-ords on your map and minimap:

Macro 1
/way Sholazar Basin 58.5, 22.0
/way Icecrown 47.9, 86.6
/way Icecrown 73.8, 64.5
/way Zul'Drak 57.0, 39.8
/way Storm Peaks 42.5, 78.5
/way Zul'Drak 75, 22
/way Dragonblight 82, 66
/way Grizzly Hills 61, 18
/way Storm Peaks 65, 41

Macro 2
/way Sholazar Basin 44.47, 69.59
/way Grizzly Hills 79.60, 50.79
/way Borean Tundra 48, 8
/way Howling Fjord 71.91, 43.39
/way Howling Fjord 45, 43
/way Borean Tundra 80, 48
/way Grizzly Hills 26, 57

Macro 3
/way Howling Fjord 68.10, 67.63
/way Zul'Drak 24.3, 63.7
/way Sholazar Basin 36.8, 19.4
/way Dragonblight 26.9, 54.1
/way Dragonblight 64.4, 43.7

Thanks goes to Ozlem and Gyllbane for these co-ordinates.

Having them all visible on your map and minimap also gives you an idea of an ideal flight path. Just fly between these spawn points, clicking a /target unborn macro.

Took me about 8 hours to catch mine in the Borean Tundra, between Unu'pe and Death's Stand.

NPCScan did not go off, so don't rely on it too much.

Comment by TheOldBear

Found out something cool about this pet today - if you have it out, and kill a critter, the Val'kyr will resurrect it!

Comment by 1031856

Oh well guys, I found her at 2 pm. twice on Ragnaros US one in Loque'hanak north spawn point 58.5, 22.0, and I found another one like 5 minutes after on Borean Tundra middle of coast of echoes so my boyfriend got her too. I took me a day and a half but hey she's worth it, best of luck and happy hunting.

Comment by MossyStump

I hope I'm not the only one who _really_ wants to get this pet and name it Ambellina. The Prise wishes me to watch over her instead.

Comment by Bangarrang

I just got my unborn valk no more than 5mins ago, got it in Howling Fjord, at coords 71,43. sadly the pet was of poor quality but its the pet non the less :D started with a critter in my lineup and 2 attacked it and followed it by attempting to catch it twice, and got it on 2nd try :D goodluck!

Comment by serahna

Found one in the Storm Peaks at Coords: 65 41
About 10 minutes after the capture, another spawned in Zul'drak at: 24 63
This was around 7:00 PM central time, Drak'thul server.

Comment by 434421

found one, uncommon today at the northern western skoll spawn on kargath, oddly enough this breed seems to be a new one then the two currently listed on the website to which are avail for this pet. I have found a P/B wish i had saved my rare stone for this one instead of the B/B i first got!

Comment by Annys72

After 5 long days and long hours of searching for this beauty, I finally found an Uncommon in Grizzly Hills at 9:40am EST...coords are 62.18, 17.5. GL everyone!

Comment by Fushae

these are only up for a short time before they despawn. I just saw it happen.

Comment by Keanuleaves89

just got one at the forgotten shore, draenor server

Comment by Zempre

Tamed a common today in Zul'drak at 24.3, 63.7 on Moonguard at 2:20 Est time. :) The map cords I got from Nalain's collection that he posted :)

Comment by 913556

Got mine today on the Spawn in Grizzly Hills ( 26,57 / EU Alleria). Was just a poor Quality,but hey,she's soo cute :>

Comment by Athenielle

Just caught mine at 71,43 in Howling fjord 02.30 on Stormrage EU!

Comment by Magneith

Went for a look between 4 and 6 am server using the waypoints I got from here, had no luck. Tried again around 11 am and found 3, 1 I caught and 1 I called a guildie for and the 3rd was in Icecrown. Tried calling another guildie but the poor darlin was phased and she couldn't catch it. So tip being complete Icecrown for better luck up there!

Comment by Maritas

Great advice and been trying to get one of these but just about every spawn point is heavily camped on Trollbane. I don't think I'd mind as much if they were not all cross zone server. I didn't see a single person from my server and there were as much as 4 people sitting in one spot and not even of the same guild. I'll keep searching

Comment by 1068010

Ravenholt-US and The Venture Co-US are CRZ free zones, meaning that they are standalone servers like those in the old days.

What I did to capture my Unborn Val'kyr is made a level 1 Orc warrior, took the Zeppelin to Borean Tundra, and corpse ran to 80,48 and camped out there. It's a long run, and they are PVP realms, but the competition is far lower than that of any other realms as there are no CRZ's.

I do not recommend just sitting there and waiting for it to spawn, however. It is a very long spawn timer, insanely long. I sat there in windowed mode for 14+ hours with no spawn. What did eventually got me the pet was just logging in periodically to check whether or not the pet had spawned - eventually it did.

Just make sure you're using your Terrible Turnip, and happy hunting!

Comment by 31967

I've been searching for this pet for four days now and despite leaving characters at various points still no luck.

Then the wife logs on and was searching for another pet, finds this one and gets a green one. Then converts it to a blue with her stone.

I still love her...

By the way, if you add the Unborn Val'kyr (NPC ID: 71163) to Npc Scan DO NOT open your pet journal. Otherwise Npc Scan will give a false alert. In that case another makro should help (made by Shaw)

/cleartarget
/tar Unborn Val'kyr
/stopmacro
/script PlaySound("RaidWarning")
/run RaidNotice_AddMessage(RaidBossEmoteFrame,"Unborn Val'kyr!", ChatTypeInfo)

~~I didn't find one until now, but I hope that this will change soon.~~
Finally I found my Unborn Val'kyr! Good hunting for each and everyone of you!

Comment by 1123359

Just got my lil girl at 11:50 AM at the middle spawn point in Zul Drak not sure if this helps or not but there was a Imperial Eagle Chick flying in the spawn point by the stairs in Grizzly Hills and I battled it flew up there and I almost didn't but something told me too and there she was poor quality but I had a stone! so I now have her! I am so excited my hands were shaking when I trapped was worried she was going to die like I've heard others say but she didn't <3 happy hunting to others and good luck!

Comment by 670769

Just caught one a couple minutes ago - about 4:35pm - at the northern Storm Peaks spawn (65.00, 41.00). It just happened to be a rare.

I'm on Ravenholdt, which is one of the few servers not connected by CRZ. Highly recommend searching around these servers, normally there's nobody out here - though I have passed a level 2 camp bot on one of the Borean spawns a couple times.

Comment by Ainnir

Just tamed a common quality H/H one in Crystalsong Forest (18.0, 56.9) on US-Silvermoon, 6:54pm server time. I placed my alt army at the different spawn points and just randomly checked them every once in a while. Today was the first day that not many people were out camping, so it seems Tuesdays is the best chance (when everyone is out and about raiding or capping their vp). I also saw a spawn earlier today when I logged on my priest (around 12pm, Storm Peaks at 65,41), but I got beaten to it :(

Comment by 1058762

any1 have any idea of the ID of this pet? cant find it in any of the comments. would like to add it to my npcscan so i dont have to spam that damn button with /tar unborn val'kyr anymore xD

Comment by SilverDecoy

Spawned at Borean Tundra 80.9, 48.5 at 0450 on Thrall. Grey, but captured. She is oh, so pretty.

Spent a solid 6hrs camping before servers went down, and then another 14, but it was worth it. I wish all those who have yet to get her the best luck in the world!

Comment by 220666

Found mine in the Borean Tundra, 47,7 near the border of Scholozar. I've been farming this for days now. NPCscan DID go off. As has been stated before make sure to turn off any addons that might preload your Unborn Valk when you log in and also to clear your cache. Good luck to everyone else, it was starting to drive me mad :D

Comment by 943807

Damn you to eternal hell green paw of Squirrel and green paw of Mouse, this was now the 21st time I've logged back in trying to find this beautiful elusive green paw of the mysterious Unborn Val'Kyr only to scroll over it to find you and your uneventful critterness.
You suck.
My poor old Lock heart can't take much more of the immediate rush of heart pounding adrenaline, followed by waves of sweaty nervousness to get to her undead green paw 1st before another camped toon....only to feel the uber frustrating swift kick to the groin when I see it's one of you critters.

Furthermore, I also do not appreciate you mocking me as you proudly prance about my Lock and snicker at me, it's just plain cruel.

Come to me Unborn Val'Kyr, I have cookies.........

Comment by Aerozia

Val'kyr no longer resurrects critters.

Comment by 847229

After seeing the RIDICULOUS amount of people camping the Fenris spawn points, I made a NE on Ravenholdt US ( I am partial to them.....a human would be faster)
I took the boat from Stormwind to Borean Tundra. The FP at Valiance Keep may go there, but she was broke so I just jumped off the boat as soon as Borean Tundra loaded, and swam ( no sharks) to Unu'pe Village.
This is a pvp non crz- realm but I only saw one toon while I walking up the hill.
At the top of the road leading out onto the plain at Death's Stand is a stationary Unu'pe Turtle Rider if you do not have co-ords.
This is where you want to leave your toon. This is the 80, 48 spawn location.
Though it takes about 15 minutes to get the toon to this spot it is by far easier than the mindless camping and fighting over spawn locations.
I left my toon hiding under the Turtle Rider at around 8pm Moday evening- Central Time. I logged back in around 1 am Tuesay morning and there was a lovely uncommon Val'kyr waiting for me. I was completely alone. No stress or worry of losing the tame.
I almost feel guilty at how easy it was.....Almost....

Comment by 1118021

After camping on and off all last week I decided to try and sit as much as i could at one spawn point yesterday. Camped 61.9, 18.03 spawn point in Grizzly Hills (Exodar, US server), with no success from 8 am til about 7 pm yesterday. When raid time came, i knew that with my luck I would miss the spawn while trudging through the trenches with my guild, but like any good soldier I did my duty and went and vanquished the evil forces that hold sway over Azeroth.

Once victory was obtained and loot rewarded, I returned to my spot and was about ready to give up for the night and log for bed when at 12:20 am exactly an adorable Unborn Val'kyr spawned right next to me. I quickly engaged battle and captured her.

Coincidentally, my friend caught his on Quel'thalas at the spawn point by River's Heart in Sholazar Basin at 12:05 am, just 15 minutes before i captured mine. Reporting times and servers for spawn information.

Happy hunting to all of you still in search for this pet!

Comment by elfomal

Just captured mine, with all my guild members as well.

I can tell some facts

It appears her respawn time is around 5minutes ~2 hours, with no exceptions.

She really has only 27 spawns, and only 1 unborn valk can be active at the moment.

The 'easy way' to farm her with my guild, was to get a total of 9 players (me and +8) and every player camp a map, roaming around the 3 respawns.

If you capture, tell em you got, and if she respawn at the same map as you are, trade with some 1 that doenst have (go to his map,and he go to your respawn)

i can confirm,that the map who had higher find chance is crystal song forest, 3/8 of the valks we got was at this map, 2 near of dalaran at left, and the other at right of dala.

I really hope you got your unborn valk, she's amazing *-*

Toke around 6 hours to capture the 8 valks, with at best a uncommon qual.

Comment by Leechesx

This is my girlfriend and I's method of obtaining it. We thought of this idea by ourselves however others may have already done so and posted it.

The idea is to find the deadest realm on your region, so for example Earthen Ring EU is a dead role playing realm. What we did was one of us would make a Lvl 1 character on Earthen Ring, the other would fly with a two seater to the human starting zone (or orc for horde) and pick them up. We would then fly to the stormwind docks (orgrimmar zepplins) and take the transport to Northrend.

From this point you can decide your route. Once hovering above a spawning point, simply tell your partner to jump off your mount. Then the lvl 90 kicks the lvl 1 from the group. This makes them phase back into their own dead realm. It took us about 1h of searching the individual spawn points to find two of these pets, one for each of us. The bulk of the time spent will be rezzing your level 1 character.

Once the lvl 1 character has the pet, log out and log onto your lvl 90 and repeat the process for your taxi driver friend.

Things to note:

- If a pet is underneath or very close to a mob, keep rezzing closer and closer to it. If you enter a pet battle with it the mob will deaggro you and you can capture it, then die and get invited back to the safe realm.
- Some areas such as south east Icecrown are heavily phased. This will mean your lvl 1 will have to run south and jump off the dam into crystalsong forest to dephase.
- We did this between 3 AM and 4 AM to greatly increase our chances of finding a pet.

The map we used was posted in these comments, i cannot link to it because my account is new. Imgur / xaCRdtq is the site and image code though.

Good luck and happy hunting :)

What is the best breed for this pet ?

Comment by sicknessinside

Found mine this morning, 3:35 am Moonrunner server time, at 61.78, 18.16 in Grizzly Hills, right by the stairway to Zul'Drak. Logged out to do profession cooldowns, and logged back to see that exciting paw right where it should be. Was uncommon. Hope this helps, hunters!

Comment by Entilzha2161

Ravenholdt - US 12:35 PM EST 5/31 Borean Tundra 48,8 spawn.

I was on a level 2 horde toon and a level ? ally DK was sitting right next to it afk. I won the battle and emoted an apology, he was afk the whole time and I imagine quite unhappy if he got back before autolog, which I didn't wait around to find out.

I had all spawns in the zone covered with alts as I've heard that the spawn will occur at one of the three in the zone and not at any particular node. Not sure if that's true but how I see it the more nodes you plop an alt on the more likely you are to eventually login and find something, though since people are reporting that it can't hurt to cover all 3 in a zone if possible.

Comment by 516399

As an engineer, I've been using my Wormhole Generator: Northrend every time it's off cooldown and checking the locations in Howling Fjord. After about 2 days I ended up grabbing a poor quality version. Didn't take much to capture her, but might have lucked out on my cage grabbing her on first try.

Have yet to see her rez a dead critter, reports are there is a bug, but uncertain.

Happy farming

Comment by Felweed

Figured I'd check my luck since I had just looted the White Polar Bear finally, on an alt, so I went sweeping Northrend. Caught one in Storm Peaks (by Skoll's northernmost spawn) and one in Howling Fjord (closer to Vengeance Landing) about an hour ago. Poor then Uncommon. Happy hunting folks!

Comment by 1044794

I have camped at the various places it is supposed to spawn at have not seen it. Is it one of those really rare spawns? Has anyone trapped this since the first day of the patch? I hear they spawn in different places. I guess I have to keep looking. I even went on at 5am and nothing.

Comment by Fratuk

I found mine @ Grizzly Hills 26, 57

Good luck evryone ;)

Comment by Aerozia

Is anyone's val'kyrs bugged? mines name is really high in the air and whenever I put a leash on it it goes way up in the air, nowhere near the actual pet on the ground. I cant use happy pet food or wash buckets on it, it does nothing.

Comment by Witherin

Just got mine.. A "common" which I'll bump up with a stone later. Found in Crystalsong Forest, far western spawn point. 5pm server time Anvilmar, US. Glad that's done. Good luck everyone.

Now to wait for the Qiraji's to start spawning. I have my battle stone ready for that one. Plan to grab the first one I can find and get out of the way.

Comment by pbear

The ABSOLUTE best advice ever - make a toon on Ravenholdt and take the boat to Northrend. I made a nelf and ran to Darnassus then took the boat to SW then to Northrend and swam to 80,44 BT and as soon as I got there, BOOM there she was - poor quality but that's what marked flawless battle stones are for, right? :) Don't give up peeps!

Comment by Decabah

Just caught mine at the 71.43 location in Howling Fjord, US-Whisperwind server, after deciding to check for fun and giggles before heading to bed. And now I'm too thrilled to sleep.

If you're getting frustrated with the hunt, don't give up. Good luck!

Comment by 1125376

I think that this is going to be the hardest pet for me to obtain. It's been a week since I've started camping for it. For instance - I saw and tamed a Minfernal literally 30 seconds after I landed at the flight point south of the Minfernals' area the day I decided to camp for it :D

Wish you all better luck than mine.

Comment by JLarks

Must admit I just got very lucky, flew to 65/35 in Dragonblight, and a rare Unborn Val'kyr was waiting for me!

One thing I will add, having an aqua pet will be handy as they take reduced undead damage. I got lucky in that I started with my eternal strider, quite a good choice against this pet. Although I can imagine frogs are good too.

Hope this helps. Good luck all! :D

N.B. It seems like it is glitched, the pet's name is miles above where it's head is, and when attacks go against it they seem to aim for the ceiling of the pet battle window. Something is not right here

Comment by Alias3003

Howling Fjord Location 68.0, 67.6 confirmed. Just found mine (Poor Quality) a few minutes ago on Madoran at 6:46pm server time. Good Luck to those who are still hunting/camping for this Hope you get yours soon!

Comment by TherealThrux

Caught mine at the 24, 63 spawn in Zul'Drak!

Comment by Wheeljack

Guess I was really lucky.

Decided earlier today to look for it. Seems like it's a very popular and heavily camped pet.I looked up spawnplaces on wowhead and took the grand tour of Northrend without any luck.

Went back after a Naxx-run (for more pets) and searched abit in the same places. Figured I'd linger abit in Storm Peaks in case of snow and a chance for the Arctic Fox Kit too. (Plus, I like the NR-Zones alot). Went to the spawnplace north of Valkyrion and saw another player (from another realm too) camping at that spot. I was about to leave when suddenly it spawned right underneath us. He beat me to it, fought and caged the pet.

"Ah well..." I thought, at least now I have the spawn confirmed. I looked abit more, before I decided to check Zul'Drak before I went to bed. Nothing near Thryms End, flew up to Altar of Rhunok, nothing there either, but at Gundrak I saw a paw, frantically mouseovered and confirmed... there it was. Just as the battle started I saw the shadow of a Cloud Serpent hovering, so I guess I was more than lucky. Got the pet caged, uncommon, but I had Undead Battle-Stones and quickly got it upgraded.

Comment by 1028340

I got mine yesterday in Dragonblight at the 65.0 35.0 coordinates. It was about 4:30 PM west coast time and she was a single spawn. Was easy to capture using my Terrible Turnip so there was no chance of accidentally killing her.
Used my flayer youngling and emperor crab to easily kill the other 2. It was a poor quality one but I didn't care. I have been keeping an undead stone I got over a month ago to upgrade her to rare as soon I captured her.

Good luck catching her she is an awesome pet.

Comment by Jatrax

Today on Fenris server at 6:30 am, I finally spotted one in Scholazar Basin after hitting nearly every spawn point in Northrend (~60 minutes). I was beat there by an alliance toon who proceeded to battle the wild unborn val'kyr with her tamed val'kyr. Please, please, these are rare enough, only take one and get a stone to upgrade if needed.

Comment by Ndoki

Noticed a lot of these Tomtom macros skipped certain spots marked on Fynzou's map. This is probably because a) they are unconfirmed or b) because there wasn't enough room in the coord macros, or both. I've also noticed they don't all seem to use the same formula. Some are rounded (47, 8 for example instead of 47.8, 7.9) to save space, which is fine.

However if you're a stickler for being thorough and uniform in your coordinates (like I am) and too lazy to install any macro addons (like me) this is for you:

Macro #1:

/way Storm Peaks 29.0, 50.0
/way Storm Peaks 65.0, 41.0

Macro#2:

This is the most annoying battle pet to find......two weeks of almost constant camping and still haven't found this pet.....I curse the Blizzard developers who thought it would be fun to make us suffer so much for a battle pet....probably the same genius who is making us wait 9 months to catch a battle pet to complete an achievement and gain a title!

Comment by Pfenix

Finally caught her after 13 days....at 2:09am in Grizzly Hills at 61,18....was common but had a stone waiting

Comment by Necruel

Caught mine today in Dragonblight..just above Stars Rest...used disgusting oozeling/clockwork gnome and Snarly..didnt have a problem at all witht hat setup...Good Luck to everyone else

Comment by 355492

I've had great luck at the Forgotten Shore (Dragonblight). 2 different times I have found one there. On my hunt to find the H/H breed I also found one at the northern borean tundra spawn. This was shortly after getting one from Dragonblight, so it does NOT take hours for another to spawn after someone catches one. Heh I feel bad for releasing one but I had to make room for my H/H. Caught 4 Val'kyrs with little effort. My advice - don't sit there camping one spawn point for hours. Make 1 round around the continent and log out at a spawn. It's not worth wasting so much time - you just have to get lucky

Comment by Elysoun

Just caught one today (a poor B/B version). Not sure if I'll use a stone on this one or try for the H/H variety. Found him in the furthest northeast corner of Storm Peaks. I almost didn't go to that particular point since it was so far out of the way.

The fight was easy enough, and even got him most of the way down with a pet I was leveling (4 levels below).

Not sure if I should continue searching now, or wait a while. Any idea when the next one should pop?

Comment by 951965

i catch mine right 5 min ago,on sylvanas realm,in icecrown in north,44.23 -33.76 ! i was trying to log out when BANG ,she respawn...omg my heart got crazy and i got her immediatly.i am so happy right now.after 1 week of farming ! good luck

Comment by Orangeichigo

Here's my story and tips:

I was camping for days on a normal server, making rounds whenever I can, I did not find anything other the fellow campers. Damn you cross-realm! (This is worse than camping for a spirit beast back in the days)

Then I tried to log in right after a server restart today to find one, nope, nothing

So I suddenly thought, since the RP servers had (in my perspective) a smaller population altogether, why not try to find it on a RP server? so I transferred a toon to an RP server and viola, two hours later, I got my own Unborn Val'kyr on my second round in Northrend. I had only seen one camper on the way, compared to 7+ on a normal server.

I know you people on the RP servers will hate me for saying this: it's waaaaaay easier to find it on a RP server, try it if you are on a normal server.

Good Luck!

Comment by 951965

i got mine today in icecrown,at 10:37 pm,on 44.23 - 33.76 on sylvanas realm after i farmed 1 week.I am sooooo happy.good luck farming !

Comment by Morrigan81

Just caught a poor one on Wildhammer US (low pop) 12:02 EST at the near-Gundrak spawn point in Zul'Drak. I've been casually camping the last couple days, will sit at a spawn point, kill all nearby critters while I wait in dungeon queue (dps so 10-15mins per). After coming out of a fairly quick dungeon (Scarlet Halls) she was right under where I was hovering. :)

Comment by Symphone

Caught mine today on Dalaran server in Zul'Drak at 11:20 Central Time. It was at 57.77, 39.60 just East of the Altar of Rhunok, below the aqueduct. She spawned as a common level 22 mob with two frogs of the same level. As rare as this pet is I don't feel right about trying to catch multiples for a rare until everyone has had a chance to catch this little beauty, so I'll be using a stone to upgrade it. Like others have said, PLEASE don't fly around the spawn sites with yours out, it will ruin someone's day if they see it on the scan and can't catch it!

Comment by 270772

just caught her in Sholazar Basin in Loque's north most spawn point on Kirin Tor at 11:30am server time. level 22 uncommon. I used my Sporling Sprout to battle her and he nearly one shot her at level 20 x_x so BE CAREFUL!

Good luck everyone! She's worth the search!

P.S. Her name plate seems to be broken. It floats a mile off her head.

Tamed her today (poor quailty) on Gnomer 9:30am Eastern Time- Crystalsong Forest 17.6 - 57.0. Killed a couple small lvl 1 critters and she does indeed rez them.

Comment by emmasteadman

Lost this pet, a Rare too. :(

Found it at the NE corner of Storm Peaks.

Got her down to less than 30% in two hots, then tired and failed 3 times to cage, each time she hit back she healed herself up eventually to over 30% at which point she instantly did her suicide thing. I couldn't risk hitting again in case I one shotted her :'-(

June 6th; 8:39pm Borean Tundra server.
Caught an Unborn Val'kyr right where Chillmaw is circling.
Coords: 44.20, 33.60

Comment by Makita

Alright. First, I found one in Grizzly Hills, 79.6, 51.7, near Dun Argol. I entered the battle with my team consisting of a lvl 25 Chrominius, a lvl 25 Core hound pup and a lvl 25 Darkmoon eye. Now, I will give you a tip: Do not use a two round ability like Chrominius' ravage because it will most likely kill the val'kyr and it Does not respawn.
Second, I found one in Dragonblight, 82.0, 66.0, near the Forgotten Shore. Entered the battle with a team consisting of a lvl 15 Pandaren water spirit, a lvl 14 Phoenix hatchling and a lvl 16 Fungal abomination THIS IS NOT A GOOD IDEA FOR YOU WILL DIE and it will not respawn.
Yesterday night, I found one in Zuldrak, 75.1, 22.2, near Gundrak. Now, having learned my lesson, I entered the battle with a lvl 20 Arctic fox kit(uncommon), a lvl 20 Spider (rare) and a 25 Sunreaver micro sentry for backup, and I finally captured my Unborn Val'kyr, common, B/B, lvl 21. We're so happy together. Yay for me!

Comment by mek002

Caught an Unborn Val'kyr right where Chillmaw is circling on the side of a rock :) She was grey but thats ok :) I got her Im happy

Comment by 1125376

GOT MINE! I finally got it! :P

Here's the deal:

Make a human char on as many as you want Portugese realms. Place it/them at the 80/48 spawn point in Borean Tundra and just log with it/them every now and then. There will be a spawn eventually :)

Best of luck and happy hunting.

Comment by Eadie

Wanted this pet as soon as I heard about it, a few days after 5.3 dropped. After spending 4 days camping and flying around NR on Silvermoon, I tried for a few days on Anachronos, to no avail.

As I was just about to pull out my last strand of hair, I used the server transfer on an unused 85 dk I haven't played for years and checked up realmpop for very low pop servers and went to the lowest.

Flew out of Dalaran, over crystalsong, first tomtom waypoint in Zul'Drak, just above where Thrym roams.. what do you know... the pet. Was made up and worth the £10!

Comment by 531610

I was wondering, any addons out there to help catch this elusive being?

Comment by 1069964

I have captured one in Borean Tundra, 32.67, 60.49, @Azralon, 1:31 p.m.

Comment by onelotus

Okay this is frustrating for two weeks Ihave come to wowhead and typed in unborn and came up with a page that had map/s. One map with links to the other zones where it spawns... and that I cannot find today! anyone know is there a special way to get to the page that has maps? It has also had these comments in a tab as well.

Comment by totorohugger

I would just like to say, on behalf of all pet collectors, screw you green paw of mouse, snake, biletoad! Not to mention you, yellow-bellied marmot -_- I am sick to death of having my val'kyr hopes dashed by these inferior spawns >_< God how i wish they would make the rare spawns a different colour pet paw. I'm only ranting as I'm unlucky enough not to own one of these yet. :'(

After 3 weeks of unleashing my Alt army and camping/flying around for 2-3 hours a day, I finally got in Zul-drak....Named it "PhukCrz'....for obvious reasons...

Comment by perculia

We are looking into restoring all the map locations for this pet--hiding them was not intentional. Thanks for your patience.

Edit: As of 6/21, they're back up. What happened was that the Howling Fjord spot was really popular for some reason, so the data assumed that the Valkyr was only spawning there and adjusted the display accordingly.(##RESPBREAK##)2##DELIM##perculia##DELIM##

Comment by PatchEu

I want to share how I caught this pet; I spent around 6 or 7 hours since 5.3 flying an optimal route around Northrend looking for spawns, without ever seeing the pet. My server is one of the most populated in the EU region.

Eventually I got sick of this, and searched RealmPop for the least populated EU realm. This led to me logging onto Vek'lor and creating two level 1 Human characters, which I ran into Stormwind and onto a boat to Northrend. I got the characters to the lower left and right spawn points in Borean Tundra, taking about 30 minutes in total. There was no-one else online in Northrend, and only 2 characters online in Shrine (Pandaria city) at this time.

The next day, I logged on each character once every few hours. Just now, I found a Val'kyr pet at the left spawn point on the Vrykul beach and caught it.

Doing it this way took about 1 hour in total and saved me a lot of frustration and unhappiness in flying around or camping spawn points.

Comment by Ospreyfalcon

I don't know if this has happened to other people.

I am on a quiet realm and often look for valkyrs for people on my realID list. But for the two last times, I find a valkyr, engage in battle, invite the person and when he arrives and I forfeit, the valkyr despawns and doesn't come back out.

I am still looking for the cause of this. Is it because I engage and then invite someone? Can one only invite and then engage? I need to find out.

In the meantime, please let me know if this has happened to you in some way.

Comment by CPUzer0

Apparently she is not immune to random disappearing. Just ran into one at "the court of bones", stared at her for a moment, rearranged my team to suit capturing her and then she disappeared right before mine eyes. Came back with a different character that had completed icecrown quests to see if it was a phasing issue, but no avail.

That certainly was a disappointment.

Comment by Nightwisp

How many UV spawnes at the time each day?
Is it one in total for all spawn locations, or is it one per zone in one of the 3 spawn locations?

Does anyone know?

Comment by Donnaterassi

Edited the various lists for easier use.
The paste mod is awesome. copy this list to it, and then paste to "default" and it will throw all the waypoints on your map. you don't need to add commas if you use tomtom.

I deleted the "unborn" off the other lists, (we all know what we are hunting) and added initials so you can see which zone your arrow is in, without so much guessing.

Found my Unborn Val'kyr south-west of the small camp in "Death's End" (Cords: 80.0 48.0)

Happy hunting :)

Comment by Chronokatan

Found 2 so far, one for me, one helping a friend finding her.

Both spawned 3:05am. One in Grizzly Hills one in Howling Fjord.

Mine took about 10h searching, Valkyre for the friend 15 minutes...! Just my luck I guess.

Good luck to all collectors:D

Comment by Stalepork

Got mine today on Frostmourne US, server was pretty empty in the morning. Accidentally killed it the first time I found one in Dragonblight, but it respawned after an hour or so in Howling Fjord. Was only common quality but nothing a stone can't fix!

Comment by MrDarkhelm

Well poop! Got mine today! Server: Dalaran, 1:33 am server time. Icecrown, 48, 86. Good luck, everyone!

Comment by 462946

The spot at Crystalsong Forest, Coords, 18.6,57.0...was were i finally caught mine, it was spawned at that location on Area 52 a HIGH realm so.. I had given up hope, lol..but trust me...it's better to fly around and spam a macro /tar Unborn..GL to all, pain in ass to get...

Comment by Caolynn

Very important note to learn when battling the Unborn Val'kyr...

When she casts Haunt and kills herself...that debuff only lasts for 4 rounds !

So just kill off another member of her team and when that buff is over she will come back to life for you to win and capture her.

I just got her 5 mins ago..and this worked for me !

Happy Hunting with no more fear of Haunt !

Comment by Pzypro

Wow... color me annoyed. Just met one and got super excited. Then...

She used haunt while being the 1st one up forcing me to fight/stall the other two pets while she comes back alive. I managed to do that killing the other two pets in the process to get back to fighting her. And then she uses haunt again being the last pet causing me to win the match.

Pretty lame. Guess easy find easy go huh.

Was the good H/H breed too. !@#$

edit: after a few more hours of flying around came across another one. Managed to catch this one! Yay.

Comment by Skeksil

Won't last long (especially after the patch), but Qiraji Guardling hunts mean fewer are looking for these girls. Today was my second day of looking, and it was about 20 seconds before anyone came by after I entered combat -- and then, took me a good five seconds to find her.

Comment by pattylynn

Just recieved my Unborn Val'kyr (uncommon) in Borean Tundra at 47.65, 7.94 right after restart

Comment by Drax13

Just want to mention that the southernmost spawn in Borean Tundra wanders a good distance from the coords listed. The only other one I've seen (Grizzy Hills near Zuldrak stairs) was just hovering in place. It might be wise to widen your hunts to include more of the surrounding area for some of these spawns.

Comment by weibe23

just captured a H/H version in crystalsong forest. it was west of the sunreaver base above the unbound ticket in the snow area.

i did the loop shown on the spawn maps and i decided to jump to another area out of boredom to mix it up

i used a ravager screech ability and took it down to capture health, and it worked. then killed other 2

Comment by Ravenz79

Just captured mine @ 2:45am realm time on Proudmoore at 57.89 39.92 (Zul'Drak - Altar of Rhunok) . I had NPCscan running w/ the id number 71163 and NPCscan didn't go off. It was a poor quality and I had spent a total of 5hrs straight trying to look for it just flying in circles around Northrend. I have to say this is the worst pet to look for and I agree with naming it "PhukCrz"

Comment by 1060905

Captured a Poor B/B at 06:33am server time on Eonar. Coords: 65.1 41.8 Storm Peaks

Comment by raven21ca

I noticed in lower postings that people commented you can't leave battle with them, they seem to disappear. Well I came across a green (which I already have) and left battle with no problem and it was still there! Holding it again for a guild member to come get

Comment by ArkhamScarecrow

I farmed for this today (Saturday, June 29, 2013), on a medium population server. I flew from spawn point to spawn point, and found two in the span of about 10 minutes, one for myself and the other for my friend. I would definitely suggest this method over waiting on one spawn point. Hope this is helpful.

Comment by mewmewface

Sigh I dont know about this pet..but please remember once she kills herself in the battle do not forfeit out of frustration, like i did. I read some reports that she can resurrect within the battle/round at some point.

edit
after another round of 24 hrs logging and relogging on my army of level 85 to 90 alts on both horde and alliance servers i finally got my version of the valkyr near rivers heart in sholazar basin. i took my time battling and killing some emerald whelps but i dont know if that helped. monday, july 1, 1am pacific time US chogall horde. pls dont forget to swap your pets to your desired team, make sure they have full hp and make sure to not forfeit the fight if ever she uses her haunt ability (she dies temporarily) cause it only lasts a few rounds and she resurrects again.

Comment by cmacord

Got mine (H/H Uncommon) tonight on my home server, Wyrmrest Accord, at the first spawn point I checked, the SW spawn point in Borean Tundra, at around 2340 PDT. This was my third consecutive night of searching for her.

It's been a good day - my Hunter tamed Terrorpene this morning :)

Comment by AldursApprentice

Imo, due to the extreme rarity of this pet, there should be no poor/common/uncommon qualities - they should all be rare. I know you can upgrade with a stone, but just saying.

Comment by xblackheart

Can anyone tell me how to add this pet to my NPCscan? I have never added anything to it and am not sure how. Thanks

Comment by Shoadowolf

Does anyone know what the spawn timer is on this pet? It would be very helpful if someone answered! :)

Comment by raven21ca

You can leave battle with the Unborn Val'kyr and she will still be there

Comment by MrB153

Just got mine in the NW spawn point of Storm Peaks. It was uncommon and amazingly was only a 2 minute farm:D

Comment by 95RageSpear

was going from a flight path from Valiance keep, to Dalaran, saw it near Dalaran and went back to check it whilst using my flying mount, it was gone...?

Comment by 1131635

Caught today after much farming. I thought I would leave a comment illustrating my method and time commitment.

1) If you really want this pet, make sure you have NPCScan and Tom-Tom
2) Don't Camp a particular spawn
3) Add the valk to your NPCScan, and create the 3 marcos listed above for Tom-Tom
4) Dont kill yourself farming this.

I lost the first spawn, (wasn't looking for this pet at all, just filling out the Northrend collection achievement) I saw in Zul Drak ( by the big path) because I was not ready with a strong enough pet team. I boxed her, killed one pet and then got finished off by a poor quality squirrel (it was close...) After this rage worthy defeat I gave up for a while and would only occasionally poke around Northrend hoping the RNG god would hook me up with a spawn right outside of Dalaran. After the initial rage wore off I began camping the spawn I first saw her at, because....well why not...This was utterly unfruitful.

So I decided to take what appears to have been a pro tip, and configured Tom Tom and NPCScan with the appropriate information. 3 passes around Northrend, about 20 minutes a piece...nothing, and then ! NPCScan goes off and I quickly dropped down and captured a poor quality, which I immediately stoned to rare :)

My one piece of information which I haven seen here yet is to ensure that you have track target on. When NPCscan went off, there were several battle pets on the mini map but luckily I had track target on, so I clicked the NPCScan alert box to target her and know which of the pets was her, flew down and tagged her. Quite literally 3 other players dropped from the sky and attempted to grab her as well. I think if I would have had to mouse-over the mini map to see which pet there was the Valk, I would have surely lost her.

I know this information is near worthless to someone seeking the pet, but I think the tips I took from here really allowed me to cut a lot of farming time off. Trust in the method, and trust in RNG.

Comment by 1122222

Just got mine at 8.45, on Jaedenar EU! She was outside the cave close to K3.

Tip: to make sure you don't kill this beauty while catching her, use a Terrible Tunip. Their first attack, Weakening Blow that ensures she will have 1 HP remaining.

Happy hunting!

Comment by Javelin

Today I got a really lucky catch. I was in Storm Peaks and was just about to finish the searching due to other things to do, so on the second to last spot I planned to look for her, there she was, althrough I was a little scared because last time I found one, she died while haunting my own pet and it died with the debuff on. But this one was an Uncommon quality so I started to carefully bring her HP down but even when it looked like she was below 30% I wasn't able to cage her. Then... to all my panic and horror she casted Unholy Ascension. I almost screamed then I saw her coming back to life due to the Undead racial. To my surprise, the cage button was glowing so I took my only chance (catching a pet always takes at least 2 tries for me), threw the cage and BAM she was mine and I almost fell out of the chair due to extreme relief.
I caught her on Ragnaros(EU) server around 10:45 server time.

Comment by 981407

If you battle this pet and end up catching it but end up getting beat by the other 2 pets that accompany it you will lose this pet and it will not respawn. Just found this, got excited, battled it with my team very low in health and lost this pet. Make sure to heal to full health!

Comment by 29188

So...noticed something cool about mine today. I was waiting on sulik'shor to spawn and was killing the little bandicoon kits around his spawn point with my hunters multi shot. I was looking away and I heard a resurrection be cast by someone...it was my valkyr resurrecting one of the bandicoons. Don't know if this is old news but...pretty cool! He did it again right after I killed the rare. And hey...another one while I was typing this!

Comment by Dramfiolz

I was able to get this one very easily by making a DK on the Ravenholdt-US server (which is not only RPPVP, but also the only RPPVP server in its datacenter, so it is not CRZ'd with any other servers). I actually made the toon to get the Minfernal pet, and after I did that, I figured I'd check some of the more accessible spawn points for the Unborn Val'kyr before I bothered leveling it up further.

A toon of any level can take the zeppelins to Northrend, and now you auto-learn the flight point to Dalaran as well. All I did was zep in with my fresh 58 DK, fly to Dal, and take the portal down to Crystalsong Forest, which I thought would be the best place to start since there's little reason for other players to be in the zone, and many of the mobs are non-aggro. The first spawn point I checked had an Unborn Val'kyr. This was in the morning right after a restart.

So glad to be done camping these pets. Bless you, Ravenholdt!

Comment by eukanuba44

found my first one in dragonblight on the forgotten shore at 6:40pm on vashj, it despawned due to my bf who tried to hold it for me and forfeited. i decided to keep looking flying around until i finally caught one in zul'drak at the spawn point near Gundrak at 8:00pm! caught an uncommon one too, not to bad!

Comment by Emma80

I just caught a Common. Borean Tundra - Frozen Reach (80:48), Ysera.
It came with a Tundra Penguin and a Shore Crab. -good luck collectors!

Caught this baby today 14.45 on Azjul nerub - in Grizzly hills
So happy :D my fav pet in the game
A friend of mine caught his in Icecrown so good luck yall :)
Happy hunting!

Comment by 972646

If you are after this Pretty little Pet, I would recomend searching for her early in the morning. I actually caught mine at about 6 am Server Time. Was just hovering peacefully, waiting for me in the nothern part of Icecrown. Not sure of how many can spawn at a time, how long the respawn time is or even if more than 1 can spawn at a time. All I know is mine was there in the morning... I wonder if its a "late night/early morning" spawn... anyway, at those times you wont find that much competition either... so all in all, good advice :P

Comment by cepape

today, I caught her in Crystalsong Forest, 43,6; 44,4 :) Common quality, server Twilight's Hammer

Comment by 1132470

I was just configuring the addons for the waypoints, and I swear to god, I found a valkyr on my second waypoint! 8:30am server time, next day after maintenance. Lvl 21 poor quality breed B/B sadly I think the H/H is better. 2 hits, then trapped on first attempt. I wonder if I got super lucky or what, because usually I never trap a pet before the 3rd or 4th attempt.
I'm only half happy, because it's not the breed I wanted. The speed is useless, it's already too low.

Comment by Akitnaya

After finding out about it I knew it'd take a WHILE for me to find this lil pet. I'm on Area 52 US & it's plagued by CRZ. I put the NPC I.D. into _NPCScan/SilverDragon & dl-ed TomTom/SuperDuperMacro & copied + pasted the waypoints given by @violetta & was on my way, circling Northrend. Day 1, I found nothing. I literally searched for the whole evening then all through the night. Nothing. So I went to sleep around 6 or 7 in the morning & woke up around 1pm & started on my search again. In between I took bathroom/food breaks & also breaks from my hunt to do LFR & the weekly Barrens quest & pet battles. Then around 7:21pm, I see the lil paw print around the Bor'gorok Outpost spawn point in Borean Tundra & think "oh it's just another stupid hare again" but no, it's the Unborn Val'kyr! I swooped down & started pet battling it right away & finally luck was on my side for once & it was a rare quality! For the pet battle I used a lvl 25 Arcane Eye, Huge Toad & Phoenix Hatchling. The pet was a lvl 22 so it dropped down to lvl 20. I would have been perfectly happy even if it was a poor quality because I was totally gonna use a Flawless Battle-Stone to upgrade it but to my pleasant surprise, I didn't have to.

Also, a lil side note, this pet flies with you & follows you when you're mounted up & flying which I personally always liked.

It seems that the ability Haunt is glitched in game. The hit chance in game is 'DATA ERROR'. Pretty strange.

Comment by jinkusu121

Found one in Zuldrak and watched it without engaging it while waiting for a friend to come tap it. It despawned all on its own within 2 minutes, no phasing it did not come back. Not sure how long it was up for, just want to give everyone a heads up.

Comment by Aphelyite

I was reading spell effects on my monk when I saw my Val'kyr pet revive a crab that I had killed in Vash'jir. Like KT freezes and kills copanions, the little Valk brings them back to life.
I've only seen it happen once but it made me squee for a second.

Comment by PhoenixRizing

Is the Val'kyr always the first pet and the one you see at the way point? I see mice, squirrels, etc. near the way points and I wasn't sure if the Val'kyr can be the additional pet in a battle so, I should battle them too?

Comment by elizaday418

FINALLY got one at 68, 67 in howling fjord. panicked me a bit with her haunt ability. common quality, but i care not! im just happy i finally got one.

Comment by Burnay

Tomtom users:

If you're like me and like your tomtom macros organized evenly, I offer (in addition to the many other tomtom comments I am aware of on this link) my simple and neat way of organizing the waypoint spawns of this elusive pet into 4 macros. Also I like the name of what the arrow is pointing at so I included that as well.

This also helps to only apply the way points of the zone/area of Northrend you are in (especially if you don't want to fly over the entire continent and only want to check a few places) so your mini map doesn't fill with way points you don't care about at the moment.

The names of the macros fit in the in-game field where you name your macro. Feel free to use your own names if you wish. These are just the names I used.

Whee! I've been hunting this precious for about 3 days now. I finally found her at 4am server time, Wyrmrest Accord server.

I had two macros set up in superdupermacro, from a couple of the different comments I found here. So I had a dot on my map in Grizzly Hills at 61,18 and 62,18 ... and I told my hubby "Ok, one more waypoint check, maybe I'll get lucky...." and there she was! Directly between the two dots on my map.

*happy dance*

I used a Rapana Whelk to widdle her down to 30% and the trap took about 4-5 tries, but I nabbed her and killed the other two pets easily. Finally, she is mine!

Not the most desirable breed (B/B) and only common quality.... but I've got a bank full of stones and one with her name on it! :) So happyyyy!

Good hunting, friends!

Comment by prozacmilkshake

I'm not sure if I'm extremely lucky or not, but I went to northrend to do battle masters and I noticed this pet wasn't collected so I went to the first thing I seen where it spawns and one was there and I captured it.

Comment by Deardra

I checked every spawn point on Kil'jaeden, then had a friend phase me to Dark Iron and started my rounds again. So many paw prints got me excited, but alas they were false alarms. Just as a mountain skunk trolled me once more, a second paw print popped up and it was her! The battle was pretty intense. My pets out leveled her greatly so I was afraid of killing her. Nearly had a heart attack when she killed herself ( I was unaware of this ability going in ). My first trap had failed and this was my last shot to catch her, seeing as she would die after one round after rezzing. Luckily my second trap did the trick!

Caught at 61, 18 in Grizzly Hills at 5:30 am Eastern on Dark Iron's phase crz. Uploading a pic (:

well she in the air or ground?~?

Comment by 529720

Got mine first one i saw was a rare! im very happy for once i got a hard pet rare first time and this is the one to do it with! hope everyone has as good as luck cheers!

Comment by 1140864

Just caught this little cutie on Hyjal in Crystalsong Forest at 17, 57. It was approx. 2:10 PST. She was a grey quality - I didn't even care. Hit her with a Flawless Battle Stone and she was ready to go! I'd only been farming her this week (my Blood Elf heart goes out to everyone that's camped/sought her out for 100+ hrs like I keep reading) and I'm so happy I finally have one to call my own.

Keep at it, guys. Don't get discouraged. She's worth it!

Comment by Filipse

NOTICE, just because you find one doesnt mean you can capture it, they have a major thing for suiciding when at 100% health or before you even land the chance to throw a trap.

Comment by Heimdallen

When the Argent Tourny came out during Northrend, I didn't bother using my Champion's Seals to get the (at that time) vanity pets, but now that they are battle pets I have been going back and doing the dailies there to farm the seals to get all of the pets available through the tournament. As a result, I do the Chilmaw quest almost every day and am always checking to see if an Unborn Val'kyr is up in that area since it has a spawn point there.

Well, today for the first time in like 4 months of looking, I swept in not even really thinking about whether one would be up, I just gave up hope long ago, and just started in on Chillmaw. It was at that time I noticed there was indeed an Unborn Val'kyr right underneath him and in the middle of the 3 cultist bombers. I DESPERATELY tried in vein to move the mobs away and get all the AOE damage going on away from him, but I was too late. He died.

So even if you've long ago given up hope, don't just hurridly start in on Chillmaw, look at the area first. Because even though it's only a video game, I am now wicked depressed that I blew my only opportunity so far after like 4 months of searching to grab one. So stupid of me. Be careful, look before you leap on to Chillmaw.

I camped over the little Val'kyr's body for an hour hoping he'd respawn there again since he wasn't killed in a pet battle, but no dice, he didn't come back after an hour at least.

I know this is largely a sob story about this and not primarily informational, but it's also a warning about getting complacent and impatient and not taking the time to be sure a Val'kyr hasn't spawned right where everyone fights Chillmaw, it's easy to be like me and want to speed through it fast as possible and as a result make a horrible horrible mistake like mine. Don't do it. Slow down. Look both ways. Take time. Or you might really regret your actions like me. :(

Comment by Mini2904

just found one in icecrown, near ICC but killed it by mistake :.(

Comment by 991468

It's probably already been mentioned somewhere, but encase it hasn't I wanted to add that Pet Tracker is a good addon to get for finding this guy. Once it's installed you can type in unborn and it will show you spawn points of this pet on your map, so you can easily fly to the spots without using Tom Tom or looking up coordinates every time.

It still took me days of going spawn point to spawn point before I found one, but eventually there it was.

Comment by 288403

When I saw one near the (65, 35) spawnpoint in Dragonblight I panicked and engaged with a team consisting of a (25) Gilnean Raven and (5) Mini Mindslayer... I actually got it low and captured but wiped to the 2 pets which joined, because a penguine felt like using slippery ice (missed 4 times in a row...) needless to say, I raged pretty hard. So I went to battle Beegle Blastfuse in the Howling Fjord zone as was my original plan and it lasted for about 5-10 minute and then I flew (45, 43) spawn point in Howling Fjord and found another and prepared my team (Direhorn for the lucky stun), captured it and defeated her companions too.

So: Either there can be more than 1 up at a time, or when you kill/wipe to it, it possible will spawn in another location, so don't give up if you wipe! Hope it helps

Edit: Dropping back to say I found my THIRD within an hour, caught it too, but sadly with the same breed as the prvious (100%+ HP), found at the (37, 19) point in Sholazar Basin

Comment by Shealle

Tonight I was rearranging toons to different spawn points in Northend for this rare when I finally stumbled over a green paw that wasn't a false hope! I captured it, and was happy with my poor breed just to have this rare pet finally captured. But, I still had toons parked throughout the continent that could be better used elsewhere. After capturing it in Grizzly Hills, I logged into my toon I had just parked in Howling Fjord, and there she was flying again. I was doubly shocked, because I had just logged my toon that won it back at Seven Stars.

Guys, I don't blame anyone for hating me at this moment, because I considered it a gift from the gods, and after a quick screenshot, and while no one else was still around, I entered battle for it, and captured it again. This time, getting lucky with the better breed. I'm still shaking from excitement.

Posting this, because the odds of having the new spawn happen within 1 minute of capturing, hearthing, and switching over to my other toon was surprising to me. I remember reading that the theory was after successful captures respawns would occur faster... just wanted to share the superfast respawn.

Good luck to you all. (And yes, all my toons are now moved from the spawn spots - not trying again!)

Comment by Ragnarrokk

So I kinda knew about this lil guy but did not know how to obtain him. So I find out start looking and when I hit my last zone to check Crystalsong Forest he is there. I battle him and capture he was poor quality but I was like no worries I have a stone. I get back to my bank and it was a critter stone not an undead one... Sigh From what I hear guess I am very lucky to find him so fast.

Comment by 569518

I got mine just a minute ago. Many of your posts help me a lot, but some information is missing in high rated post. First of all I cannot find npcscan command ready to copy/paste:

/npcscan add 71163 Unborn Val'kyr

And the second thing I noticed missing coordinates to Crystalsong Forest (they are given in later posts) so I give all of these, of which I used to use

I found my Val'kyr in Dragonblight at The Forgotten Shore 82, 66. For all my luck she was rare and she was together with two crabs. In order to catch her I used Terrible Turnip with her Weakening Blow, to be sure that I don't kill my precious Val'kyr. Happy hunting :).

Comment by mechakwan

I just want to share my pure luck, found my little Val'kyr just north of Bor'gorok Outpost, on my first time circling Northrend for it, and it was a rare lvl 20!

I'm hoping you all good luck!

Comment by Aliandrin

Natural rare found at the Grizzly Hills spawn point below the stairs to Zul'Drak.

It was the Balance breed, however.

Comment by falkapp

I used the chance: second day of new 5.4 patch and found this cute pet after 1 day flying around - Borean Tundra (80, 48), coordinates from top comments were very helpful, thank you guys :)

Comment by silvershadows

Found mine today, at the 47.9, 89.6 coordinates in Icecrown (Court of Bones). Found that starting in Storm Peaks and using TomTom waypoints was the easiest way to quickly navigate from spawn point to spawn point.

Comment by parsnip39

Just got mine today in Howling fjord at the one spawn point near Utgarde keep. I was flying to the spawn points and reloading and it worked. Wasn't rare but who cares I got her :D

Comment by timmune

Last night I decided to look for the Unborn Val'kyr for the first time. Following generous and detailed tips from comments posted here, my endeavor proved successful. My experience as follows:

After about 45 minutes flying between spawn location coords shared in this thread, my NPCscan first went off at one of the coords in Zul'drak. After 7 unsuccessful attempts to trap her, she decided to kill herself which was, naturally, unappreciated. I continued however and with about 10 minutes encountered her again in Crystalsong.

During my second encounter I had successfully trapped her when I realized 2/3 of my pets were dead from the previous fight, which made me feel really special, after her teammates barely finished off my one active pet.

I continued and encountered her again about 2.5 hours later and successfully captured her. The lowest quality, but of course upgraded her to uncommon. Just scored a flawless battle stone, so she'll now be rare.

Was randomly flying around doing takers quest line in northrend when I spotted and captured her again, lowest quality again.

Either way, considering I'm on a medium pop server, I'm pleased with the outcome. About 5 hours time invested and I now have two Val'kyrs.

Thanks everyone for the posts and good luck to those on the hunt.

Comment by Sereilbex

Just bagged my Unborn Val'kyr of uncommon (green) quality at the 17,57 coords in Crystalsong Forest, the one right under Dalaran. Used my Flawless Battle Stone to make her a Rare! Doing the "Happy Dance!" Had lost her once before about a week earlier in Ice crown, at the spawn point 42,33. Was very happy to have slept in Dalaran last night, logged on today there to find my new favorite battle pet right under me.

Comment by maxchum

Just got mine at Grizzly Hills 25:57
She is poor quality tho, currently slapping every trainer in WoW for a bag with undead rare stone.

Comment by 1145583

Just caught mine at 11:50pm on Arthas. Sholazar Basin 44.7, 69.3. I was reading through comments on here and on warcraftpets.com and just happened to stumble upon her. She is poor quality, but still an awesome pet! I used lvl 25 core hound pup Burrow ability to bring her from full health (908hp) down to 298hp then took 3 throws to capture her.

Comment by togahsisoka

would have been funny if they'd called it "Unbjorn Val'kyr"

Comment by ZiaGaming

They finally fixed his name. It used to hover way above his head. Now its where it should be.

Comment by Breakability

I'd like to confirm the Borean Tundra spawn point at Death's End (where I lost the first poor-quality Val'kyr to Haunt) and the Dragonblight spawn point at the broken end of the road leading to Wyrmrest Temple (where I caught a common quality Val'kyr).

I was unlucky in the first fight. The trap wouldn't catch the stupid thing and she was spamming Death Coil at that point. That was annoying. She died because of Haunt. This was on my alt server.

On my main server, I got lucky with the second one. Her first attack hit, second one missed, and then the trap caught.

Good luck and happy hunting! While this was only in about the span of an hour for me, I know it's taken other people much longer.

Comment by togahsisoka

Nothing like the feeling of seeing one on your minimap while flying into Dalaran, only to CRZ out when you land... and its gone.

Comment by Kaimaani

Just got mine!
Used to camp at Crystalsong Forest for long time and every now and then go through with the Storm Peaks spawning points. Nothing. Never once saw one.
Today tried the method of flying around Northrend and BAM. Got mine at 65.4 ; 35.6. in Dragonblight (Near the big road South of Wyrmrest Temple). And she was a rare :D

Comment by togahsisoka

Finally caught one within an hour of servers coming up today... I wanted to test if it behaved liked other special spawns that are up in force after a server restart. I checked all known spawn points in Crystalsong Forest, Zul'Drak, Icecrown, Sholazar Basin and found him/her on the *LAST* spawn point I checked in the Borean Tundra.

Hypothesis: This pet does spawn with a server restart, but only in one place at a time as opposed to en masse spawnings of minfernals and such.

If I feel like I need more than one (if you can have more than one...), I'll test this out and let you know.

Happy hunting!

10/8/13 Update: Again, found one just flying around NR right after a server restart... in the 3rd zone I visited. Not rare but I'll take 3 of these any way I can get them...

Comment by togahsisoka

Well, that's interesting... You apparently can't release this lil bugger... The option is there, but grayed out. Idiot proofing?

Comment by Pyxxie

I finally caught this beautiful pet at the (43.6, 44.4) spawn point in Crystalsong. I was flying back from a failed fox hunt in Storm Peaks, and it popped up on my map. After a week searching for it, you could imagine my excitement. I barely beat a fellow Hordie to it. . .

I used my rare quality Alpine Fox Kit's Flurry (since it's a Critter type move), which brought its HP down enough to catch it. Three attempts later, and I caught it.

It was a common quality catch, though I could care less. I'm just thankful to call it mine =)

Comment by Uraniq

Noone mentioned, are they spouning as Unborn Val`kyr or is it possible that they can come as secondary or third pet with others as -mouse etc. ?

Comment by sopor30

Use a Magical Pet Biscuit on these guys and they'll appear big enough to look like your own personal winged angel.

Comment by Aldorias

I got mine (B/B) at 4 am in Howling Fjord and after 35min found another one (B/B) in Dragonblight. The first one used haunt and killed herself but at the end reborn again and trapped her easily. I trapped the second one at first try.

Comment by togahsisoka

Second week in a row I've found one by flying around NR *immediately* after server came up...

I went ahead and hit all spawn points and only found that one. So my theory stands (so far):
"After a server restart, there will exist at least one (and probably only one) Unborn Val'kyr in Northrend."

Comment by Xorthos

Just wanted to toss my experience in for those camping it. I was in Icecrown, leveling up pets around Corp'Rethar gate, when one randomly spawned.

I had circled through the area for maybe an hour just fighting anything that popped up on my map, and saw it.

Told my guildmate who was camping it, and they circled around the Ymirheim area, from gate to gate until they had one spawn about an hour or two later.

Could have been pure luck on both of our parts, but seemed pretty okay.

Comment by togahsisoka

OK, I can now say with some certainty that if you get on your server right after a restart, there is an Unborn Val'kyr somewhere in Northrend.

This is my third score in three weeks, always right after a restart. I can't tell you where its gonna spawn, but it is there...

Comment by LightningBladez

Wow, I can't believe I found this before the weekly server reset. I went around trying to park my different alts at different locations across different realms. Had about more than an hour and a half left till server reset and decided to make a run throughout Northrend just to see what kind of competition I have at different spawn points.

Luckily I flew towards Gundrak and found one near the Altar of Rhunok (57, 39.8) US Area 52 ~(6:15am PDT)

Couldn't get NPCScan to really work for me, so I used a target macro with a raid warning instead.

Comment by 1147673

This pet is one of the boss killer trio, the other two being Pandaren Water Spirit and Chrominius. The Curse of Doom - Haunt - switch to PWS - Geyser - Whirlpool - switch to Chromi - Howl combo will kill any boss in the round it hits, provided that it does not have an immunity like Dodge or Dive or reduction like Crouch, or otherwise a way to screw up the execution. If the enemy somehow survives, Surge of Power will finish the job.

Comment by nemyneon1

After what seems like months and months of searching ... I FINALLY got this little baddie.

In dragonblight. Was an uncommon but I had a stone for it.

Keep hope alive folks.

Comment by Baluki

I've only seen this thing once, and I was lucky enough to be the one who gets to battle it. And it was a Blue!

I get its health down, and throw my trap. Miss. I throw my trap again. Miss. I'm distracted by something for a moment, and I accidentally hit one of my attack buttons, and kill it. AUGH!

Comment by foxkay91

OMG I JUST GOT ONE!

It's poor quality, but I found it at 4:45pm. Coords: 44.22, 33.80 in Icecrown! YAY!

My addons and all the time I spent looking FINALLY paid off. :)

Comment by 445685

Due to cross-realm zones, these can be pretty heavily camped, even on small servers. I went for a lap around Northrend at 5 AM CST. I found three, two of which were already engaged in a pet battle with another player at the time.

TL;DR: Hunt in the early morning.

Comment by Xylev

Oh the cruelty!

Found my first Unborn Val'kyr in Icecrown at 73,64, got her down to 150 health and then ... she suicided on me after the second missed cage xD!

Well, back to flying around Northrend then...

Comment by Doomunit

I have been looking for valkyr along and and i found one but it was poor but sholazar basin seems very frequent place to spawn

Comment by Arcadian

Now they need to add a black winged version. Make it rare. People will hunt forever.

Comment by 288491

Nothing like finally finding one of these only to have some idiot attack you and spam aoes. What exactly are you trying to achieve by ruining this for not only yourself but other pet hunters as well.

Poor sport much?

Comment by 657368

Got mine at 7am second day of farming. Was actually on my last farm character flying the zone where I'd parked her ... Was flying up to my last spawn point to check in sholazar and there she was. She was uncommon and didn't suicide! I quickly switched to my other camping toons on that server to see if she had spawned somewhere else I'd already checked after I captured her.. but didn't see another one.

The only thing I would add is that it's helpful to append the following to your waypoint macros:

/closestway

Comment by 657368

OMG, it just dawned on me.. all of you who think you lost the pet because she suicides.. she's not suiciding! She's doing her thing where she enters your current pet's body for five rounds. Just wait it out.. she will return .. and when you've killed the rest of them she will appear.

Or at least make sure she's doing ascention and not just haunt before you forfeit

Comment by Vandrir

Found one last night at 2:45AM. It was located at 82.00 \ 66.00 in Borean Tundra. Very quick battle with nothing unexpected. I had made one full lap around Northrend and had logged out for about an hour. When i logged back in I was going to go from Borean Tundra to Dragonblight and log out there for the night. Good luck to everyone still searching for this one.

Comment by 897742

Just tamed mine 12 mins ago at 2238 realm time. Realm: Winterhoof Zone: Grizzly Hills - 61.6, 18.2. I tried camping Zuldrak but kept getting false alarms from people entering and exiting the dungeon. So I would not suggest camping there. I had several problems with my NPCScan already having it cached. I can confirm that if you are SERIOUS about camping this pet. The best thing to do is: Uncheck the box for Not collected in your pet journal, log out, turn off ALL addons except NPCScan, clear your cache. And then log in...double check your NPCScan by going into your interface, addons, NPCScan, Search, then scrolling to the bottom to make sure that it is BOLD and no x is before it. Once that is done start camping. All in all took me about 8 hours of camping today as this was my first day trying for it. It was a Uncommon Quality but I stoned her to rare and only lost 1 lvl. Going to go power level her now. I wish all my fellow pet hunters the best of luck catching this beauty.

Quick side note, I didn't have any other campers there. There were a few people that flew in every now, stopped and looked around, and then flew off.

Goodluck!

Comment by tinkerbell0301

I followed Nalain's cord's in Howling ford , at 68.1,67.8 at 10:47 pm realm time on Area 52, and got mine and a undead battle stone dropped with it. So happy. Cord's are dead on. Thanks :P

Comment by Desdemonique

Just captured her on the Aggramar server, roughly 10 min. ago. Spot was 57.0, 39.8 in Zul'Drak, the spawn point just next to the Altar of Rhunok, on the map. Flew by, hovered for a second, and saw the green paw print for her phase in on my map suddenly. Swooped in for the scoop, and solo'd her and her team with my lvl 25 Gilnean Raven. Went infinitely better than I figured it would, and she's Uncommon, to boot. My first (and most likely only) one! :)

Got mine today on Arathor at 10:55PM server in Howling Fjord coordinates 68, 67. Posted alts in the Northrend zones and had been periodically checking the three points in each zone throughout the day.

He didn't use Haunt on me. I used my Summit Kid to damage him first with Headbutt, then put him to sleep with Soothe to swap to Pandaren Monk to use Takedown and then Blackout Kick to stun him while throwing on a trap. Took two times before trap was successful.

Screen shot submitted.

Good luck everyone! :)

Comment by AAthenaa

Just got mine on Arthas at approximately 8:30pm in Icecrown at coordinates 48, 87. She used haunt on the first hit and I had to throw the trap five times before I was successful.

Just want to add that unholy ascension stacks with howl or similar abilities.

Comment by Altaria

This pet has a funny gimmick. If you kill a critter (none pet battle critter) then she will ress them after a little while.

Comment by Javelin

She's so cute in my opinion.
She's like "I'm going to ravage your soul.... and your cake... but mostly your soul"

Comment by smetia

Captured him on server Al'akir Borean Thundra 12:46 server time ,when i was beteaing the 3rd pet another player arrived and watching me :D

Comment by LTygress

Got mine this morning at 7:53am server time at the 57,39 location in Zul'drak.

Now Dethecus is actually a west coast server, but ever since the low-pop servers were combined (completely combined, not just low-level areas - we are also part of Detheroc, Lethor, and Blackwing Lair now), Dethecus has been reporting Central time zone as the server time. So this would be 7:53am central time, 5:53am pacific time.

Anyway, I've learned in PVP pet battles that if the Unborn Val'kyr has NOT resurrected herself by the time you kill off the other pets, then she is dead for good. So, KNOWING she is going to kill herself off in battle, you want to use a soft-hitting pet for the other NPCs, to give her time to resurrect herself. I used a spirebound crab. He hits just hard enough to get her health down, but not too hard.

I hit her twice to get her low enough, but she healed before I could throw the trap. The next round, she killed herself, and it was me and an alpine hare. About four hits to the rabbit, and she was back. I killed the rabbit, and she stepped back up. Two more rounds and she killed herself again. Then it was me and a snake. At this point I brought up my spirebound crab, and just cast renewing mists and shell shield. This allowed me to basically skip rounds, without dying off, until she resurrected herself again.

Once I saw her up, I wiped the snake out, and started throwing traps on her. Second trap made it. She's poor quality, but I don't care. It's MUCH easier to get a stone to upgrade her to rare, than to pass her up and keep searching until I can capture a rare! Even with the two-level downgrade from making her rare quality, it's worth it.

She is, however, HH breed. That is awesome because I did NOT want the BB breed! And that's one thing a simple stone can't fix!

Comment by 1208414

Hey folks! I just wanted to post a brief update. I found this beauty in Scholazar Basin around 12:30PM CST today on Azgalor. The coords are 44.42, 68.98. I have been using TomTom, SilverDragon, PetTracker, _NPCScan & Overlay together. I created way points to visit using TomTom. I made a /tar macro as well that I would spam as I approached her known spawning points. She was grey, but that's alright. Happy hunting all. For those of you who haven't found her, yet - You will, don't give up. For the Horde!

Comment by Eyvindar

Have been trying to find one for months now. Last night I logged out at 68, 67 in Howling Fjord and this morning when I checked she was there. Started the fight and when she used what I thought was haunt I just waited it out but she didn't come back. I was upset but I decided to make the rounds of northrend in case she popped up elsewhere. I found her in Storm Peaks at 29, 51 and once again she used what I thought was haunt but didn't come back after it was over. At this point I thought maybe I just wasn't cut out to capture her and should just leave her to people who knew what they were doing.

So I went to wowhead to see what was going on. And then it dawned on me she was using unholy ascension and not haunt and I'm just not with it when I first wake up. Decided to give it another go and continue circling northrend. She appeared again at 17, 57 in Crystalsong Forest and I jumped into the fight without realizing I'd let my other pets die in the previous fight in the hopes that 'haunt' would wear off and she would return.

I had been using lower level pets so as not to accidentally kill her but all I had was my Sporeling Sprout so I hit her with jab a few times and got her low enough for capture. After a couple failures and losing most of my health, I caught her. I very nearly died trying to finish off the other two pets in the battle, but I managed and she is finally mine!

Woo! Finally nabbed one of these beauties at 213 on Draenor in Howling Fjord 45,43

It's with items like this one that I am re-assured that WoW is in fact Hell and blizzard is satan. Spending all day chasing down some elusive goal that in the end amounts to absolutely nothing in reality. Yup! WoW=hell

Comment by Lornne

Really wish I had read how to capture this. It sacrificed itself after third attempt to capture. Look like another couple weeks of searching.

Comment by Vlad

For us GatherMate2 users that wish to inject the nodes with as little effort required:

Paste this into the chat to load the coordinates:
/run T={="480080800480",="269541644437820660",="260570610180796508",="450430681676719434",="479866738645",="367194445696585220",="425785650410",="243637570398750220",="190570430440670490"}
Run this to finally inject the coordinates and show the fake Netherwing Egg (i.e. Unborn Val'kyr) in the various zones:
/run local g,s,x,y=GatherMate2,6 if g then for k,v in pairs(T)do for x,y in v:gmatch("(%d%d%d)(%d%d%d)")do g:AddNode(k,x/1000,y/1000,0,"Treasure","Netherwing Egg")end end g:GetModule("Display"):UpdateMaps()else print("GatherMate2 not found!")end T=nil
Neat right? You didn't even have to re-log or modify any files! If it didn't work then make sure your GatherMate2 settings for Treasures are set to "Always show".

In addition, if you use TomTom and would like to automatically setup the waypoints then this is for you:

Paste this into the chat to load the coordinates:
/run T={="480080800480",="269541644437820660",="260570610180796508",="450430681676719434",="479866738645",="367194445696585220",="425785650410",="243637570398750220",="190570430440670490"}
Run this to setup the waypoints:
/run local t=TomTom if t then t.waydb:ResetProfile()t:ReloadWaypoints()for k,v in pairs(T)do for x,y in v:gmatch("(%d%d%d)(%d%d%d)")do SlashCmdList(GetMapNameByID(k).." "..(x/10).." "..(y/10))end end else print("TomTom not found!")end T=nil
Beware that the crazy arrow usually doesn't select the proper "next" checkpoint. I recommend that you turn off automatic tracking or simply ignore it, instead use the map or minimap for overview of the waypoints. Before giving up on the crazy arrow try to select the closest node and picking "Set as waypoint arrow" - the next node is usually the closest one.

Comment by Reaperoffire

Well, after only messing around a little bit, I only made 2 good passes on 2 different days to try and get lucky and get a Unborn Val'kyr . I finally got one today... Oddly enough I tabbed out while floating in Crystalsong Forrest to check wowhead... Well I got one when I tabbed back in at 5:20pm Server time on Jubei'thos, at 17 57 :D Sooo happpy!

Just got a poor quality one in Borean Tundra 80,48 on US-Vashj Jan 15,2014 5:07pm sever time.
Thanks for the information.
I was using NPCscan for the pet alert, but remember to unload any pet tracking addons, like PetTracker, Pokeman.

Comment by Fistula

Some of us poor souls don't yet have a Val'kyr and are getting pretty cheesed off losing to them in PVP.
My favourite team at the moment that has had some success is:
1) A frog. The majority of opponents start with the Val'kyr. So start with a fast frog such as S/S Leopard Tree Frog.
Tongue Lash X 2 while getting cursed and haunted - will remove a third to a half of the Val'kyr's health before it haunts..
Cleansing Rain - reduces duration of haunt, increases aquatic damage and buffs Dreadful Breath (see later).
Frog Kiss until dead - with a bit of luck you'll frog your opponents second pet.
2) Scourged Whelpling. Preferably H/H so he'll live for 2 rounds of Dreadful Breath. There is a reasonable chance that the Val'kyr in the back row will be dead before it has a chance to come back in to the fight. If your sixth Dreadful Breath is before your 'death round', you can either use Tail Sweep as your death round attack but I like Call Darkness to enhance pet 3.
3) Either:
A pet to benefit from Call Darkness ie one with Nocturnal Strike, Spectral Strike, Light or Fury of 1000 Fists (though the Monk is vulnerable to undead damage if the Val'kyr does survive to get back in to the battle).
My favourite is S/S Crow.
Nocturnal Strike.
Alpha Strike.
Maybe another Call Darkness if you get the chance.
Or, if you don't like the risk of the weather changing:
Infected Fawn.
Adrenaline Rush/Flurry melts the Val'kyr if it's back.

Comment by 657368

If you can't seem to find one of these, start a DK on a server like Farstriders.. low pop. Beg someone to give you a port to Dalaran. Park the DK in Crystalsong forest and go there at like 2AM. You might not find one the first time, but you will get one.. I have three and all of them were found by using this method.

Use this macro (requires tomtom):

/way Crystalsong 17.8 57.0 Val'kir
/way Crystalsong 43.6 44.4 Val'kir
/way Crystalsong 68.2 49.6 Val'kir
/closestway

You can ride through the forest.. ignore any mobs that attack you.. you MIGHT die every so often but it's easy to fly to your body and continue on your way. You'll have one of these in no time!

REMEMBER, if she "suicides" check your pets debuffs, if you have haunt, she didn't suicide, she's just haunting you, wait it out and after that pet dies or 5 rounds she will reappear!

Comment by kannyou

After flying about various times with no luck, I tried the "roll on a RPPVP realm and run/boat/swim to Borean Tundra" approach. After sitting in the snow for 2 hours, an uncommon Unborn appeared (thankfully with Haunt), and she's now safely captured and upgraded to rare with the battle-stone I saved for the very purpose.

Now for Minfernal.......

Comment by 1106357

I had multiple alts parked in the locations given by many others, and the next day I logged on and she popped up as soon as I was about to log out onto another character. (I also tried flying around using flight paths, but no such luck. I guess if you're bored and wanting something to do then you could try this way too.)

She popped up in Sholazar Basin at 44:69, and I got her down to capture able in one hit by using Chrominius's ability "Surge of Power". She even healed herself a little and that didn't keep her from getting out of the capture able zone! Plus..no haunt able to be used!

The other two pets she had with her were a snake and a squirrel.

Also, if you do need to heal pets you can commence battle with her and then forfeit to heal them. Mine were dead for two minutes more so I just held her and then healed them, then battled away.

I also used NPCscan to help find her, but beware, if you are around a player with her pulled out, it will still go off. Her pet ID is 71163 so you can add it in.

Comment by mattematte94

Got my own Unborn Val'kyr today 15:12 servertime (al'akir - EU). Found her in Sholazar Basin, just south of the River's Heart. Will always have her out on my priest from now on! :D

Comment by 1107309

(36:19 - Scholazar Basin 6:22pm MST)

I tried every zone from Howling Fjord over and checked every known spawn spot. I was about to leave Scholazar. but checked this last spawn point and there she was. Poor quality, but idc. I will get a stone and make her a rare at some point. Don't give up hope!

Comment by Autumnshiro

I'm so excited!

After going from area to area I finally found one in the Unbound Thicket area of the Crystalsong Forest at 11:32pm central time on the Thrall server.

Not only did I get her, but she was a rare quality :D

She almost killed my rare quality alpine foxling, but caged her just in time.

Comment by jackhammerEUFW

Got mine today, at Zul'Drak 57.0 39.8

Only a grey, but am happy :)

Comment by Darkchyylde

Ok question from someone farming the Valkyr still. Given all the spawn points, what would be the most efficient route to take? Has anyone taken the time to list the points in the order they should be visited to speed up the route?

Comment by Darkchyylde

Ok so I spent a few minutes last night remapping the coordinates into a path that starts and ends at Dalaran so both Horde and Alliance can use the same route. I'm still trying to figure out how to input them out or find an addon to input them so that you follow them in order, not in closest proximity like in Tomtom. But for now, here's the list.

Comment by elaNge

Last night I had a dream that I caught this pet.

This afternoon I found her at the 3rd spawn point I checked.

Comment by Saqib

To all my friends out there who are looking about the Val'kyr resurrecting dead critters, the answers is YES.

She seems to ress the dead critter every 3 mins, have your val'kyr out and kill a critter she will automatically ress after 3 mins.

If there are multiple dead critters she choses the first critter that died, if you kill that ressed critter she will will again ress the oldest critter that was dead at that particular location.

The resurrection spell does have a cast time but you won't see a castbar nor the name of the spell, all it displays is a golden circle at her feet and the usual sound of resurrection and the light beam of resurrection on the critter.

Comment by crazedfencer

If you find an Unborn Val'kyr and it has Unholy Ascension as its third ability make sure to forfeit on your first turn. Every time that you engage a pet in battle it will randomly choose its skills. So you can keep forfeiting and battling it again until it has the Haunt ability. That way you don't lose your super rare pet to suicide.

Comment by zomgname

I witnessed this pet being battled in Grizzly Hills and about 20 minutes later she had respawned in the top most spawn point at Borean Tundra. I thought I'd have to wait an hour to find her again, so I was really surprised she was there. She was Poor quality and only had about 1K health and my pet almost killed her, so be very careful!

Comment by domacleod

Considering how Val'kyr are created in WoW.. am I the only one who thinks this is -so- wrong?

Comment by 765544

Got my rare quality baby at:

/way Howling Fjord 68.10, 67.63

Nazgrel

Just as a little tip-When trying to catch your little Valky, if it is lvl 20+ when you find it, it will have Unholy Ascension. Therefore she will suicide on you. Just keep forfeiting until she is level 19 or below, so she can only use the Haunt ability.

Also, you don't want to use Unholy Ascension for leveling your little devil. It may be a skill but you do NOT get experience for using it.

Comment by 1078883

Just in a pet-battle related comment, I have had massive difficulties fighting against this pet in pvp pet battles. it seems to me that the only way to combat it is to run teams with crabs (and/or beefy defensive types). Finally caved to annoyance and bought a magical crawdad.

Great support healer and awesome tank.

So yea, for anyone having difficulty fighting this pet, run a couple of rounds with a crab on your team, youll generally scare away the val'kyr teams and can then go back to your other (more creative) teams. And if you have the gold, I highly recommend springing for the crawdad.

Happy hunting!

Comment by elrishadowstar

resurrected critters only last about 2 min then they disapear

Comment by Damonra

For those who use Add-ons, there's an addon called Unborn Val'kyr waypoints for TomTom. With a simple /tt command, it'll place waypoints for every Unborn Val'kyr across Northrend. You may be able to find rares of other pets surrounding some of those waypoints while you search for them.

Happy hunting & good luck with the pet battles.

Comment by 499650

Caught one in Zul'Drak, middle spawn point. I found that setting up multiple alts, each at a different spawn point was the easiest way of finding her. I would randomly check each spawn point about once an hour or so. Some tips to catching her.

If she has Unholy ascension as her third move she can (and usually will commit suicide). You can counter this by leaving battle, and re-engaging her. As long as you don't attack, she will respawn. If you have killed a pet, or one of yours has died then it will not, so be sure to check which move she has before fighting her.

Terrible Turnip is your friend. Once you got her with Haunt, you will want to knock her down to low health quickly, and not kill her. With its self healing it can also take a pounding while you wait for the Haunt to end (if she used it).

Any pet with death grip will be useful as well. When Haunt ends she returns to the back row. You can then Death grip her back out and try to catch her once more. **Note** If she uses Haunt and she is the last remaining pet the battle will automatically end. Try to leave at least one pet alive on the other side.

Hope this helps, and good luck everyone.

Comment by Damonra

Do they spawn underground? NPCScan keeps going off, but there are no Unborn Val'kyr around.

Comment by 735218

Im not sure if this has been said. but if you are standing idle and there is a dead critter near you this pet will rez it. kinda cool.

Comment by FiareFox

If you accidentally kill her, cross your fingers because you can catch her when she revives. I got an unlucky crit but managed to capture her when she revived and she will not die once captured. GL!

Comment by 46873

After weeks of alt hopping and alot of hoping, I finally captured one of these
beauties this morning! I had decided to level my Magical Crawdad by completing pet battles in Crystalsong.
Before I got started, I checked all the spawn points in Northrend with no luck.
I managed to get the crawdad to level 15 when she spawned practically right in front of me,
just north of the Unbound Thicket.
My lineup was Magical Crawdad, who was first and ended up eating her "Haunt" ability, Hyjal Bear Cub, and Landro's Lil XT.
I managed to get only a common quality but thats what stones are for, right?
Now I'm not sure if defeating battle pets in the area helped or if it was a coincidence.
I had not seen a single one until today. Happy hunting and stick with it, you will get yours!
*gleefully squeals!*

Comment by Oathbearer

Was leveling through Sholazar Basin with a friend, not even checking the various Battle Pets around us, when I saw her just hanging out in front of us! My friend and I stopped to check her out, and I proceeded to attempt to catch her. Having only a small gang of level 18-19 pets, I figured I would at least give it a try. As luck would have it, I was able to capture her AND defeat her squirrel/snake friends. A lucky day indeed!

Comment by Schadow

Found mine on 20:30 on Lightbringer-EU (I play on Ravencrest-EU, got ported by a friend) today at 2014.04.21. at Grizzly Hills 61,17, very close to the steps/border of Zul'Drak.

Was uncommon, I'm happy.

Comment by 715772

Here's a note for rare pet hunters: if you receive an "Internal Pet Battle Error" after capturing a pet, that pet will NOT be in your pet journal, therefore rendering your capture completely irrelevant.

I finally found an Unborn Val'kyr after months of searching, captured it, only to be screwed over by the Internal Pet Battle Error. I put in a ticket to see if Blizzard would give me the pet, since I actually did capture it prior to the error (I even had a screen capture for proof), and they refused. According to them, the error was caused by one of the any number of addons I use. They said they can only restore a pet that has already been in your pet journal previously. I have, however, NEVER seen the Internal Pet Battle error in any of my pet battles before or since.

Comment by kurrik

So, hop on one of my alt realms after searching for a week for one on my main realm. Very first place I look I find an Unborn Valkyr and its a rare! Battling it down and lo and behold, it does Unholy Ascension ! UGH! So back to looking.

Comment by gromerin

my friend got a rare catch on achivement on this today <<

Comment by Atremis

Please DON'T do the same mistake as i did...

After a long time searching for this pet I FINALLY stumbled upon and battled it with my 3x lvl 25 pets.
I was afraid that i would kill her accidentally by dealing too much damage, so I took her down to the point where I could start capturing her, then ... she used her Haunt ability.
Let me just point out THIS IMPORTANT SENTENCE:

While haunting a target, the user is considered dead.

She died and swapped with the other pets, I killed them and as the Haunt effect ended the Val'kyr came back, I tried to trap her, but i missed.
Here came the frustrating part... She used Haunt again ... she died, I won the fight and didn't get the pet.

Has anybody got any advice for me, on how to avoid this happening again?
Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Just captured my very own Val'Kyr at 25,56, Grizzly Hills. Good luck to all the other hunters :).

Comment by brothazoot

Just got mine at 36.05 ,19.21 in Sholazar Basin. US-Azgalor at 8:29am

Comment by Gatekus

Thank you to all the amazingly generous and articulate people who posted important information regarding this pet. God bless you guys. In hours of searching, I only encountered two of these pets. Unfortunately, the Haunt/Unholy Ascension ability was not something I understood the first time I encountered her, and I lost the first pet because she killed herself.

It is important to note that because of you all, when I encountered the second pet after further hours of searching, I knew what to do. Some of the following is paraphrasing what others have said, but it is important and bears repeating.

I recommend using an aquatic pet of at least level 23 with a self-heal ability to battle the Unborn Valkyr. If she haunts your pet, you need to stay alive for 4 rounds, and that self-heal ability can make the difference on whether or not you capture her. Ironically, she also spawned (the second time) with a blue rare Squirrel as well, so having a beast or mech to handle Critters is a good idea for your 2nd/3rd battle slots.

After days of searching, when I finally encountered the second Valkyr, as much as my sweaty-palmed, heart-pounding state wanted to leap in and immediately battle/capture the second pet I encountered, I didn't. Instead, I inititated the battle and IMMEDIATELY CHECKED HER THIRD ABILITY on the upper right hand screen. Sure enough, this pet had the dreaded Unholy Ascension ability, AKA Unborn Valkyr Suicide!

I surrendedered the battle, then re-initiated. She still had Unholy Ascension. Back and forth I went three times until finally she switched her third ability to Haunt. Phew! I locked in the battle and captured her.

I don't know if this information will help anyone, but the first pet I encountered was just south of Skorn in Howling Fjord; she was grey, and it was early morning, 6 AM. The second pet was in the northern Stormwright Shelf area of Sholozar Basin; she was green, and it was night, 9 PM. These encounters were six days apart. Neither appeared after a server restart or anything special. Dogged determination and a little piece of knowledge about checking her third ability will increase your odds of success. All the best to everyone still searching.

Comment by 659423

I finally found one and i wasnt even looking for it unfortunately it was poor quality but thank goodness for the stones to upgrade pets now. it was sat night at 1am realm time in icecrown neaar the eastern border heading into storm peaks over a small patch of snow in the broken front. just north of dalaran. coords were 71.65 hopes this might help someone.

Comment by Hunterificious

Captured this little beauty in Grizzly Hills (79,51) at 4:30am server time on Black Dragonflight. Poor quality but no matter, I upgraded her to UNC immediately with a Polished Battle-stone :) She will be a rare when I get a Flawless one. This made my day, I've been looking for her for months!

Tip: Grizzly Hills and Howling Fjord are great places to circle around over and over to farm this little pet, because their area is smaller than the rest of the continent so its quick to get from one spawn point to another.

Hope this helps! Happy hunting!

Comment by Raukan

I don't know if somebody said this already, but I didn't find it while gathering information about getting this pet.
My husband still didn't have it, and since Saturday night was big soccer night in Spain, we decided to go for her. We discovered that in case you enter combat and it has the "Unholy Ascension" ability, you can leave combat and restart as many times as you need for it to enter with "Haunt".

Good luck everyone!

Comment by Araiia

I finally found one at the west Crystalsong spawn point at 5:05 am -- but before I could start the pet battle (I was waiting for revive bpet to come off CD), the UV despawned right before my eyes! There were no other players around and I had no quests that could have caused any phasing. I'm at a loss.. does the UV "switch locations" once spawned?

Comment by 878217

My NPC Scan shows this as in Cache even when I've just exited, deleted my cache and logged back in. Anyone else having the same issue?

I had it!. And it died! It !@#!#@%@$@#$ Died! IT had 503 health left and I hit it with a weak attack that was like 320. BOOM Crit for 506. I just sat in disbelief. Back to the hunter. I know have a creature in my group that does really low damage for when I find the next one

Comment by 1209687

Got mine today in Grizzly Hills :)
Yay me!

Comment by Nulanna

As of patch 5.4.8 this pet is not nearly as elusive as she was previously. Since the major rush is off of her spawn points, most of the points are no longer camped. I ran the Northrend loop about four or five times all told over the course of a week. Today I finally found, not one, but two (one poor, one uncommon) - I captured both - for the simple fact that at no point running my loops did I ever see a single person at these spawn points. Additionally, after capturing the uncommon, I originally left the poor one - and decided to go back about ten minutes later and she was still there. Since I appeared to be the only person still searching - I went ahead and took her. Long story short, I believe that, now that the major craze has died down - and everyone foaming at the mouth to get one of these most likely has it - if you are diligent daily about running the loop once or twice a day - you should have one fairly quickly.

Caged this little beauty at exactly 3:00 a.m. realm time on a sunday night, Bloodhoof US, at the Gundrak spawn point. About 8 total hours of searching/camping. I named her Alkaseltzer because getting her was such a relief....

happy hunting, good luck getting your own little unborn beauty soon!

Comment by Sierron

Had looked for it a couple of times, saw guides and then camped. Looked for it at some spots in one zone with some pauses and then moved zone too. Found it in Dragonblight, near Wyrmrest Temple. But the unthinkable happened. My pet dragon killed it. But it got resurrected - and I was happy. Until it again died.. It was Uncommon quality and I believe lvl 22. So my hunt continues. So my advice - don't have some pets that's kinda OP, but keep one or two for the other pets with the Val'kyr.

Comment by Larodar

Captured it a few minutes ago, at 65.57 on Icecrown. Came up as an uncommon quality at level 21. Not related but just to add Hildana Deathstealer was up by then at around 59.60.

Comment by ktorres01

Just happened upon her on Scarlet Crusade just before 3:20 pm realm time (on a Tuesday if that helps any). I forgot to add her to my NPC scan (that explains a lot) but I was using the "Unborn Val'kyr waypoints for TomTom" add-on (thanks aluopa!) so I had the points marked on my map. She had Unholy Ascension but I used an uncommon level 25 Emperor Crab (P/P)...dropped Whirlpool, then Surge (2x I think). She never popped Unholy and after Whirlpool hit, I was able to cage her. She was uncommon B/B, knocked down to level 20 at capture. Now to find a rare! Btw, it was snowing in The Storm Peaks at the time (I had just finished battling Arctic Fox Kit) so not sure if it was related. Good Luck!

Comment by Eddielouise12

I finally got one :)! Just by Bor'gorok Oupost. Nearly cried when i started the battle and she was blue! Had a little bit of trouble with one a few days ago. Accidentally crit hit another one and killed her :(. Don't have to spend gold on a battle stone :D. Battle was pretty easy. Just used a Nordrassil Wisp and blocked pretty much all attacks.

Thaurissan 9:30pm. Happy hunting!

Comment by Alkiphron

So, I've actually battled the Unborn Val'kyr 3 times in only 2 days time. Pretty good luck, right? WRONG! I lost round one when I had all but 1 of my pets die to capture it, only to let the last lose to some random poor quality snake. Rounds 2 and 3 were the same: the Val'kyr pulled Unholy Ascension twice. I heard they nerfed the chance for the Val'k to cast that, but I guess not. Round 4 to be announced.

ALRIGHT SO ROUND 4:
Found the Val'k, started battle, was feeling confident...
Forgot to heal up my pets... RELOG
Round 4.5:
Log back in, battle her, capped her before I ate a haunt (used a Tundra penguin, they're awesome at tanking her)
Had the most intense battle versus 2 squirrels. Let's just say, my Imp ended the fight alone and with 243 hp

Uncommon quality too. Don't have the heart to farm the rares, gl guys.

Comment by Gracin

So I really just got into pet battling this last week. Looking for the easiest path to 25, I followed a guide which lead my to Dragonblight to catch birds. As it so happens I stumbled upon a Unborn Val'kyr in the northern part of the zone. I had heard they were rare, but I wasn't in a position to attempt a catch, and after reading the struggles on Wowhead about catching I'm glad I left it.

Flash forward a few days later, I'm working at getting pets rounded up for the Celestial Tournament and Beasts of Fable after having trounced the tamers of Azeroth and Pandaria. After some research into one fight it was suggested to have, you guessed it and Unbork Val'kyr. Now disappointed in myself for not even attempting a catch I added it to the bottom of my growing list of needed pets. I soon reached the end of that list and made my way around Borean(Nothing), Scholazar(Nada), Icecrown(Nope), Storm Peaks(Sigh...), and finally Zul'Drak.

What's this I see at the Alter of Rhunok? An Unborn Val'kyr. I quickly pounce, not wanting to lose my opportunity to cross realm trickery. Knowing the horror stories of Unholy Ascension, I quickly glanced at my targets abilities. HAUNT! I swung first with my Tolai Hare's flurry, doing a nice chunk of critter damage. Not wanting to overdo it, I swapped to a level 8 Terrible Turnip to pass a little more damage with Weakening Blow before it was dispatched. I swapped into an Eternal Strider, and jetted the Val'kyr with two cold blasts from Water Jet to bring it down to capture territory. I throw. I miss. I throw again, begging to gods for some bit of luck... IT LANDS!

Ok, so I'm elated, but now to deal with the not one but two rare Arctic Hare's accompanying my prize. I managed to handle them with easy and now here sits my beautiful, prized, Poor quality B/B Unborn Val'kyr. Thankfully I have an Undead Battle-Stone in my bags.

Edit:
So I wrote this while I continued to fly from zone to zone, to the remaining spawn points I hadn't hit, just for ^&*!s and giggles. I get to my very last spot north of Baelgun's Excavation Site in Howling Fjord and there floats another Val'kyr. I engage once again with the same team as before, this time she is a beautiful Rare B/B with Unholy Ascension. Thank you to all the comments that pointed out to forfeit and then try for Haunt, because it worked first go. I popped flurry twice from my Hare, threw three time before the Val'kyr was captured. Then I faced off against a Rare(I know right) Turkey, who finished my rabbit and nearly got my Strider. Fortunately, my Strider held on cooking that jive Turkey, and squashing the Poor Maggot that followed. Gotta say I'm pretty thrilled right now.

Comment by relictor

My search started yesterday. I followed the TomTom coordinates round and round until finally, I came upon one in Icecrown. My eyes lit up as I engaged and started smacking her around. I kept throwing boxes at her but the sneaky wench was too quick, until finally she used Unholy Ascension and killed her self for her companions. Slightly annoyed, I stopped for the day.

Today I hopped on at midday to continue my search. I literally went to every coordinate bar one in Zul'Drak, I flew to it without much hope. I became erect with happiness as I saw her icon light up on my minimap - I engaged! I made sure this time to look at her skills, to find she had unholy ascension in her skill list. I disengaged and restarted the fight a few times to ensure she was using haunt instead.

It took me 5 traps to finally land her. I used a pet with a heal to ensure I lived through the beatings . To add to the pure joy I was feeling, the Random Number God was nice enough to also reward me with a Flawless Undead Battle-Stone. Some people have all the luck :)

i finally caught mine! in the grizzly hills! :D

Comment by Aerieadk

Got it today. While waiting for emerald protowhelps to spawn I decided to check some spawn points and happened to be sitting in crystalsong forest. Poor quality but nothing an undead battlestone didn't fix. Best advice I can give is to never stop looking. Never know when it will spawn.

Comment by kevinh4

I finally found a rare Unborn Val'kyr in Zul'Drak at 75.00 22.00, unfortunately it killed itself during the battle.

Comment by MustaCWN

Once upon a time...

I was doing some pet battles and fought a guy with 3 of these pets. 8o
I had a hard time getting mine, and wondered how lucky (or crazy) you need to be to hunt down 3 of them...

Today went to Sholazar Basin to Camp Loque for my wife, and now i am sure that guy got the three of them with his hunter... :D

Comment by Silancy

Using haunt when this pet is the last in your team causes you to lose the battle.

Comment by dmbardal

I were flying around in Northrend capturing the last few pets I needed for my "Zookeeper" title when I found this gem in Sholazar Basin.

Yes, it were uncommon, but that didnt matter to me since it was the first time I had EVER seen one. I caught it on my first attempt, didnt even know of the difficulty process of capturing it.

Later the same day in pandaria, I fought a battle-pet trainer for a daily, and I got a flawless undead battle-stone.
I'm a very happy owner of a rare Unborn Val'kyr now. Currently leveling it to 25.
It was 22 when I caught it.

Comment by 1333794

Go mine today near crystalsong forest :)

Comment by Liike

Okay, so some people are not going to like me for this but, I just captured a gray Unborn. She had two easy squirrels with her and had no problem capturing her or defeating the others.

I was flying to Zul'Drak (from Dal) on a transport when I saw one spawn on the ground (Insert heart attack now). Logged out fast so I could get to the nearest FP and fly back to the Unbound Thicket. Started the battle and got her!

I used; Lil' XT (25), Mr. Bigglesworth (25) and Anubisath Idol (25)

Oh, and for people who were wondering, like myself, she spawned by herself just like any other pet would. I didn't find her in a battle with another pet.

Comment by StarFire2686

Just caught this beauty while looking for the Aotona hunter pet. She was poor quality but I dont care. 3:50am eastern time. Easy capture did not have any issues with my 25 time.

Comment by Aquilani

Found mine in Borean Tundra near Garrosh Landing. I must be pretty lucky I only searched for maybe a hour. I used a strand crab so I could heal and use a shield. Good luck on getting yours!

Found my wonderful little buddy today in Zul Drak. Was not expecting to find it. Coordinates were 24 63. Next to Thrym. Happy hunting.

Comment by Dathunn

Took about 7 hours to find but it finally happened. Thank you for everyone who contributed the coordinates to wowhead they were exactly on. Found mine in Sholazar Basin 8:28 pm server time Stormrage. Make sure to add to npc scan her id is 71163.

Comment by 999513

FML, I found a wild val'kyr and she just killed herself with Unholy Ascension

Comment by Kylanii

I spent many hours looking for this pet, the comments on the locations were spot on and super helpful so thank you to all who have contributed with that!

What was rather enjoyable to me about finding this pet was what happened after I caught my first one, the first time I found one after many hours of flying around Northrend I caught a Common quality one, since I didn't have a stone to upgrade her I decided to keep looking, during those days of looking I actually ended up finding about 3 different ones before I finally found the rare one I own now. What I would do is start a battle and then forfeit if the pet wasn't rare and then I would announce in general chat the location I found one at, I ended up make three people extremely happy who had been looking just as long as I had and each of them already had stones at the ready!

Although finding this pet took me several hours over a span of a few days I ended up helping some people out who were looking and made a new friend along the way!

Good luck to you all who are still looking and I hope you get one soon!

Found one of these while flying around Northrend thinking I'd never would at 82.11, 66.22 in Dragonblight at 4:31pm EST on Zul'jin. Was poor quality but had the Undead Battle-Stone to upgrade her. Good luck everyone! <3

Comment by 864988

I found this pet in Crystalsong Forest a few days ago on Executus server. It took only a few minutes to find. I can say I was lucky because I'm not finding it now.

Comment by 1048480

I second the recommendation of posting a few alts at different spawn points. This morning I put three of my four 90s at the three spawn points in Sholazar. With my main I went off into Draenor (before it fell apart, of course). Just check the three every so often. Anxiety doesn't help. Got back from work and checked the three--right there in front of me was a common. Northwestern spawn point. Also got my scourged whelpling, emerald photo-drake, and flayer youngling today---xpac days are good for staying very far away from xpac content!

Comment by Paniaka

Landed to do my Chillmaw daily when she was right there. Rare quality, too, with the battle stone in case I wanted to upgrade one of my other undead pets.

Comment by 1406132

Please excuse me if this sounds like a stupid comment, I have the Taming Northrend acheivement but have not caught an Unborn Val'kyr and Unborn Val'kyr also doesnt show up on it. Is it designed to be a secret thing that you just stumble accross or do the rare battle pets not show up on taming achievements? Thanks

Comment by 1247477

Got this beauty today at 12:02 pm server time, Area 52, Storm Peaks 65.2/ 41.8, and can confirm that previous posts suggesting checking the spots at the top of the hour seem to be the best time to catch them. I'll admit, I've been camping this one for some time, maybe a couple of months & several times a day. However, I was pleasantly surprised when I found her & began the battle that she was a rare! Happy hunting :)

Comment by SirDraghar

I found my first Unborn Val'Kyr way shortly after battle pets came out and caught her not knowing she was a bit of a pain to find. Just stumbled across her 'Oh, another un-captured pet, better grab it'

Lately I've decided I want three of them, so last night I went out and caught two more.

Just wanted to note a few things that might help those trying to catch her.

- These pets spawn relatively quickly compared to what you would expect. I accidentally killed one last night, and caught two others and did a dungeon within an hour and a half.

- As others specified, she seemly can only be active at one spot at once. Fly all over northrend, she'll probably be at one of the spawns. If you somehow check every spot, likely she was killed just before you started, check the full route again and you'll find her.

- Running from the fight, and re-engaging WILL change her move-set. Basically, hover over her picture, if shes has the ability 'Unholy Ascension' she's suicidal, and you need to immediately leave that fight. Re-engage her until she has haunt instead.

- Do NOT flee when she is dead from haunt, or she will not respawn.

- Try to capture her before she haunts you, and do not let her be the last pet alive, as haunt will then be a suicide and end the battle.

- Mind your crits, do not use an ability that hits '300-400' if she has 585 HP, you could end up losing her.

If shes in the back row, or you're worried she might die if you hit her, just flee and re-engage so shes fully healed. Just be sure you check for 'Unholy Ascension' again if you do. This is how I lost the first one I found last night.

First find was in the very south east corner of Howling Fjord
Second was in the west area of Crystalsong Forest.
Third was in south east area of Dragonblight.

Comment by ScarabLordJager

I edited the coordinates for TomTom to be more efficient than the ones listed below. I also fixed the map name errors (ie "The Storm Peaks" instead of just "Storm Peaks") and one of the coordinates was wrong in Dragonblight. This should all work now, it takes a little under 30mins for the complete trip with fastest flying mount and perks.

Finally... after years of searching for the Unborn...
Found it just outside Daleran!
Saved an undead stone just for this day!

Comment by 1420733

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who posted the map coordinates. Had been looking for several weeks for my Unborn Val'kyr using the maps given here, but was beginning to be discouraged. Do not give up, you will find one eventually. I stuck to the spawn points listed on wowhead. I found mine in Howling Fjord @ 68.1, 67.8 coordinates at 11:30 am CST. I was on Illidan-US server, not sure if that matters because of cross-realm. I was also using a pet addon called Cancel Pet Fight in case she had unholy ascension ability first, just in case. The other two pets she had with her were a common rat and a turkey. I used 3 lvl 25 rares, darkmoon rabbit H/S, Strand Crawler H/H, and a Mirror Strider H/B, just in case I had to heal. Rabbit got her low enough quickly and easily to be caged, and she did not cast haunt, took four attempts to cage despite pristine trap. Turkey took the longest to kill due to aquatic pets. I thought maybe this might help someone. It also helped to have your pet team "ready" before hand so you don't kill her by accident or your pets get owned by her and her team. I used a pet team addon called PetBattle Teams, which lets you set up different teams ahead of time. This really helped me to be prepared when I did find her. I also had 3 characters in Northrend, covering a few zones, instead of flying one all over, so I just alternated checking their zones/spawn points, then if nothing, I'd switch to another one again. Good luck to everyone still looking. I hope this helps someone also.

Comment by Riia

Hi guys,

Just caught this pet at my server. It spawned a little farther at one of the Icecrown locations - I had my TomTom set for /way 43, 33, but I found this little thing at /way 44.15, 33.78.

Also, I was using a macro mentioned in an earlier post (while flying around, I would've missed it otherwise, HIGHLY recommend using it):

/cleartarget
/tar Unborn Val'kyr
/stopmacro
/script PlaySound("RaidWarning")
/run RaidNotice_AddMessage(RaidBossEmoteFrame,"Unborn Val'kyr!", ChatTypeInfo)

I caught it at 1:05am server. Hope this helps some others!

Comment by joekurr

Just got mine on Dragonblight server (medium pop) at the spawn location closest to Dalaran in Crystalsong Forest (43.35, 44.35). The lil' beauty was of poor BB quality, but luckily I had a stone waiting for her - my preciousss...very happy the search is over!

Comment by 1061544

I killed an Unborn Val'kyr accidentally while doing Chillmaw for achievements. Divine storm to the face. I was so upset. :( I am still farming it to this day....

Comment by LoqueNahak

Just download TomTom addon + Valkyr spawn points and start looking for the pet. Keep jumping from point to point until you find it. It can take some time, just don't give up. It works, it just needs some patience.

Just remember:

1) if the Valkyr spanws with Unholy Ascension spell don't fight (abandon) and engage her again until it has the other spell
2) if you kill her don't panic: it's undead so it will resurrect with few hitpoints, allowing you an easy tame
3) use a pet that doesn't hit too strong

Comment by turboforealz

Found a H/H Unborn Val'kyr at Zul'Drak on Grim Batol EU a couple of days ago. Poor quality but stoned it right away!

Thank you for the macros and waypoints, really works. Got mine after about 5-6h looking in total.

Comment by Sabes

Just caught a 21 B/B poor one in Zul'drak, 24.3, 63.7.

First battle she had Unholy Ascension so I just forfeit and tried again. Second fight she had Haunt, so I carried on.

Used a 25 H/B rare Frog. Suggest a SINGLE Tongue Lash, followed by Frog Kiss until you get her in capture range. Even with about 7 rounds (with multiple fail traps), she didn't use Haunt at all, so even that was no problem.

IMPORTANT: For those of you who use NPCScan, I can confirm it will no longer detect her. This is probably due to the changes in the detection schema used by the addon since 6.0. (since Blizzard changed the way rares are detected)

Comment by 1434555

After almost 2 months, I've finally captured my very own Unborn Val'kyr! I captured this beautiful little creature at the spawn point in the middle of Crystalsong Forest, nearest to Dalaran.

When I engaged in battle with her, she had Unholy Ascension, but due to being on a high pop server (where I've seen people try to "steal" this pet from someone forfeiting to get the Haunt ability, or switch their pet, etc) I was too afraid to risk trying to get Haunt, so I took my chances. I figured if I could get her health down to the required amount to capture her in 5 rounds or less, I'd be good to go.

I used my level 25 Celestial Dragon. Moonfired once, then used Roar until the trap box lit up. She was capturable at round 5. Took me 3 tries to catch her with the Pristine Trap.

As soon as I caught her, I announced my new prize in guild chat, hearthed, and used the Undead Battle-Stone I'd been saving for her and upgraded her from Uncommon to Rare.

This has been a great week on WoW for me! First I get the Onyxian Drake mount, then I get my Unborn Val'kyr. To everyone still trying to get her, don't give up! She's so worth it!

Comment by Starista

I caught my Unborn Val'kyr in Zul'Drak- 57.6, 39.6 around 3:35 PM EST on Eonar server.

Comment by RinTarin

Just got mine on the lowest Borean Tundra spawn! I'm on Whisperwind. She's so beautiful and even though she's poor quality, I just, don't even care! So happy! Eeeee! I tried to abandon the fight probably 5 times and she always had Unholy Ascension. It sucked, but I got her before anything bad happened. I wish everyone who wants her the best of luck! She is 100% worth it!

Comment by Pastortom

Just wanted to say thank you guys, so much!

I just got my first Unborn Valkyr with these map markers :)

Been looking for this over 3 years, and finally! :D

Comment by 1065597

With 6.01 this is a very popular pet to hunt because of the garrison daily pet battles you can use it in. It is well mentioned in posts how this one is used in winning strategies (despite other strategies working as well) and so I have seen a large number of players flying the same waypoint locations a me while I hunted for the bugger.

Do yourself a favor and save some frustration in the hunting process for this one. Do not get tunnel vision on this as it could get frustrating. Do some pet leveling as are flying your routes. I stumbled across mine between two waypoint in HF (71.8x43.0 & 68.2x67.6) I was a solid 500+ yards from either, nearly dead center between them. You could have knocked me over with a feather as the silly thing was a pet joining the battle when I challenged a rabbit. /facepalm a friggen rabbit...

There is a random element to this that might be worth remembering when seeking this pet. I have spent countless hours flying myself all over heck looking for this bugger but let myself get tunnel vision.The waypoints might provide an increase in the chance to run across one, but if your only focusing on them you could be burning a lot of hours that could have been productive with other acquisitions of rares and leveling lower pets along the way. I would humbly suggest you have a little fun from time to time between waypoints to show the Northrend critter just who the boss is in the friggen north.

Enjoy and good luck!

Comment by Erinyes

Just lucked out and found a H/H gray in Dragonblight. I wasn't out hunting for it, but just happened to check the pet icon on the mini-map. Also, I got it down to around 400 health, and the next hit should have done around 340, putting it in a good capture range. Of course, CRIT. Lucky again, because I captured it during its one-round resurrection. I forgot momentarily about the resurrection, and I was about to put my face through my monitor. Whew!

Comment by Neffearion

Just got my half an hour ago. On Cho'gall in the Storm Peaks, and after an hour and half of farming. i got her at 11:30 server time.

Just got Unborn Val'kyr (finally!) on Argent Dawn - 2:40pm EST - Crystalsong Forest - 18, 57. Had Unholy Ascension the first few times, but finally got Haunt. Good luck! :)

Comment by oogumboogum

So I stumbled across two of these within 30 minutes while doing one complete loop around Northrend. I haven't seen her since that first loop for about 6 hours now. Although it's possible I just happen to be in the opposite zone when it re-spawns and someone takes it. It seems that it shouldn't be as difficult to spot as it is.

I got it by accident, when flying out of Dalaran, I saw it on my minimap... just before I was teleported to LFR (had to instantly leave and get the pet). It was poor quality. Actually, I didn't remember she could kill herself with one of their moves, so I just caught her unaware of the danger :P

Comment by summertree

I finally found mine at about 43,44 (Forlorn Woods) in Crystalsong Forest. Reset was this morning, and she was there at 10:40 Central time.

B/B and gray, but that's what stones are for. :-)

Good luck to those who still hunt her, and thanks to Braxatoris for the easily-pasted waypoint list.

Comment by Faceroast

Do NOT flee when she Haunted. She will despawn if you do. I found out the hard way, sadly..

Comment by Leepi

It would be so much better if the screenshots were of where the pet was caught instead of people posing with it. No one cares about people posing with them. We're only here cause we want the information to catch one.

Comment by Faceroast

Got it this morning on EU-Grim Batol in Borean Tundra at 32.8,60.2 at 07:45. After I initially found her for the first time 4 days ago I panicked when she used haunt and (seemingly) killed herself. I forfeit the battle... after which she didn't respawn. So whatever you do, do not forfeit when she kills herself with Haunt. If you do she will not respawn. My mistake for not first looking in the wowhead comments, I slammed my face after I read this.

Over the past 4 days whenever I had nothing else to do I made a full round over all the spawn points. Overall I would say I have flown about 10 full rounds of all spawn locations all over Northrend. Not that big of a deal but it does require some dedication as making the full route takes quite some time.
This morning I logged in and to my surprise she was sitting right at the spawn point where I logged out.

She was common and had the Haunt ability. She didn't use Haunt once during the fight though. Watch out for her health, even the smallest hits can chop off quite a bit of health.
Overall wasn't a difficult fight, took 5 trap throws till I caught her. She had a bunny and a squirrel with her.

Hope this helps. Good luck to anyone still hunting!

Comment by corners

Looks like only 3 spawn points a zone.

Comment by Astarsia

Not sure where my post is for this but i did manage to finally get this one in crystalsong forest. Poor quality. and i know some people have given suggestions on how to upgrade with drops of mobs, but never have any upgrade stones dropped since i've been playing and I farm pets a lot. So I'm so pleased that I discovered that the rewards you get in your garrison for fighting the daily pet battles gives you bind on account items which i pooled together from my 4 garrisons to upgrade this one. I also had a lvl 25 stone from the initial (new) quest you get from the pet lady in your garrison. So that saves a lot of time and effort.

Comment by Nixara

Been hunting this damn thing for months. I go all around Northrend all the damn time and haven't found a single one. So to those people who catch more than one... Screw off for a moment jesus christ. I haven't even seen one in the wild before because this spawn rate is too ridiculously low.

Comment by JoyousOblivion

Ok, apologies in advance, but is this still rare? I spent a couple minute tonight and caught one in Crytalsong forest. I checked the three Icecrowne spawn points but didnt see anything so went to crystalsong and it was in the middle one.

First one had that unholy power so left battle and fought again and rather easily caught it with a panther cub and terrible turnip. It was uncommon quality.

Is this thing still rare? Did it get more spawns, or for once am I just lucky in this damn game, lol? I don't really pet battle (this guy is my second highest level pet now) so not sure.

No SS but it was caught shortly before 11pm EST at MIDDLE SPAWN POINT in CRYSTALSONG Forest. Laughing Skull server if that matters.

Comment by 390402

Found pet in Zul'Drak by Altar of Rhunok. Don't lose hope even though it has so many spawn points. Many people say this pet has a 6 hour cooldown time.Used the Pet Tracker add on and filtered map by searching NPC name in search bar to view all spawn points.

Good luck everyone!

Comment by SweetKitty

Got mine today at 47.76, 7.88 in Borean Tundra at 11:54 server time EU.

Comment by 961381

It took me around 10 hours of flying around Northrend solo using TomTom waypoints provided here by awesome users. Thanks for all the help via these comments. It's the biggest reason I even found one in the first place. I nearly killed the one I caught (panicked!) but RNG was on my side. It trapped the second try and the scorched earth didn't have a chance to murder my poor Valk. Woohoo! Basically, be careful and don't derp like I did! Have your pets healed and the right pets active when you engage this pet. :)

Comment by 93172

I stumbled upon this battle pet completely by accident. I had an alt on a different server parked in storm peaks and was randomly checking it for snowstorms for an arctic fox kit (the last pet I need for Northrend Safari).

I decided to give the group finder a chance to realm hop to find a snowstorm. The first realm I hopped to didn't have a snowstorm so I left the group and as I did I saw an Unborn Val'kyr flying right in front of me but then it phased out. I also noticed another player flying right over the spawn point and my heart started beating like crazy.

I had to quickly find the exact same group I had joined to get that server again and joined group and phased back in to see the player still hovering! He was AFK! I clicked on the Val'kyr and engaged battle and noticed she had the suicide ability. In a panic I quickly left the battle and noticed the other player was dismounted watching me ready to steal the pet. I was able to click on it again and once again suicide ability! UGH! So I gave it a good 30 seconds to throw off the other player, left battle, reengaged and haunt!

It was a close battle as I didn't have the best team built for it but I was able to capture a grey one! I know nobody cares about this but I'm posting it because I'm excited to finally have this battle pet. Now I need to level her to 25 and make her rare and I might be able to finish the rest of the cheevos.

Edit: Right after posting this I realm hopped to find a snowstorm and got my arctic fox kit :) Tis a good day for a pet battle!

Comment by Traximos

So is it better to just spawn camp somewhere or fly around all of Northrend? I've been flying around this place for weeks to no avail.

Any tips would be great!

Comment by Quista

Got mine today, after camping other well known areas to no avail!

a green H/H in Sholazar Basin at 11.30am on Doomhammer server.

Co-ord, 44.54, 69.36

She had Unholy Ascension the first two times but Haunt at the third try. Managed it all with a Level 25 Arctic Hare.

Very happy :)

Comment by Shadowolf64

Where the {5 expletives deleted} do I find the NPC ID for this {8 expletives deleted} NPC?

Comment by Biffsterr

I tend to be pretty lucky with rares; this goes for mounts as well as hunter and battle pets. I got my third Unborn Val'kyr today in Storm Peaks near the Horde Camp Tunkalo. I got the first a few days ago in Sholazar near River's Heart and the second one the day after that in Borean Tundra near Bor'gorok Outpost. The first one was at 7:00 AM eastern on Friday. The second one was at 3:00 AM eastern on Saturday. The third was at around 10:30 AM eastern on Wednesday. Each of the three was done on a different toon. Two were rogues and the third was on a warrior; I don't play any of those three very much. They're basically profession toons.

The only advice I can give you is to look for her at times when no one else is looking. I know, that may be difficult, especially on high population servers. I have enough toons that are 90+ that I can put one in each zone but that didn't necessarily help me, especially with the third one. I have a few 90+ toons on a low population server and when I seemed to encounter a camper at many different spawn points no matter what time it was on the high population server, I moved to the low population server, flew around to every spawn point.

Almost the very last point, the one near Camp Tunkalo was where I found her. I only had one left to check. So, the point is that no one was out looking for her on the low population server and I was free to check every single one without competition. The first two were on my main server which is high population and it may have been my insane pure luck that I got two but I favor early morning and it works. Good luck and take comfort in knowing that you won't have me to compete with for her now.

Comment by flig999

if you can get this pet out with a Lil' K.T. and next to a critter you can watch as the critter frozen and revived over and over again. =)

Comment by Mandrax

I picked one of these up last night, the location just north-east of Valkyrion in Storm Peaks. I just wanted to say that it is so worth killing any other pets in the location. I did this and was chatting to a friend whilst hovering above the area. After a short time the Unborn Val'kyr spawned and I managed to capture it.

Comment by 1462695

Found mine at the northern most spawn point in Storm Peaks. Had to server hop to get it though. Server hopped other spawn points in Icecrown, Crystalsong, and Zul'Drak to no avail.

Comment by Silvansaria

Got mine today - woohoo!

11:15am on Nordrassil - in Icecrown at the lower right spawn point (to the right of Mord'Rethar)...

I went to every spawn point in every zone ending with Icecrown and was about to log off. Figured I'd do this final check first though and BAM! I saw the green paw and swooped down to see it floating about checking on the consistency of the snow (it was probably going to go snowboarding later)...

No server hops during this search...

Good luck with your search!

Comment by 1463552

this is really bothersome where you guys post this and that and this pet is here and there yet do not ever state if itis a secondary or a primary status
comeon and get off butt and give us some way of telling if itis secondary or primary.foxy

Comment by Roriah

I just found one of these in Sholazar Basin, around 45, 69. It was the primary, I saw it as I was flying around searching for other pets.

Comment by UtileDulci

I've made an updated list of coordinates for TomTOm users without errors and sorted by order. Start near Dalaran, end near Dalaran.

Edit: I don't know why, but ther coordinates mysteriously become incorrect by 10 yards in one direction for instance. Maybe the spawn point is actually shifting.Comment if you know anything about this.

Got mine today in Crystalsong forest, on the east side by the horde base. Emerald Dream server on a char I don't usually play but had decided to mess about with pet battling on. Hope this helps.

Comment by trib22

Finally found one today in Dragonblight. It's a grey, but that's what stones are for, right?

Comment by Nylers

Finally got one today in Zul'Drak (57.6 39.4) at approximately 7pm server time (EU). No server hoppping, it was just there as I was flying past.
Was using the waypoints provided by UtileDulci, so thanks buddy!

i just got my valk :D ty for the guides

Comment by Zeneo

I can confirm that you can collect 3 of these awesome battle pets.

Comment by 1393759

Just got mine! Right as the third pet died, two Hordies killed me. Talk about lucky! Thanks for the great tips!

Comment by CaptSpacegoat

Thought I would throw the computer out the window in my rage.. Hunted the pet for hours across Northrend, finally found one in east Howling Fjord, and a rare to boot! Just as my 2nd trap failed I get a dc.. FML

Comment by GiratinaVGCP

Fallen angels..

Comment by Shisatsu

Got one at 44.5,69.5 Sholazar Basin.
Breed #3, Grey.
Upgraded it to rare and made her lvl 25.

Comment by mosstone

"Val'kyr are considered "unborn" until they vanquish a creature of high nobility"

That might take a while

Comment by 580337

I just got this on Sargeras. I just started farming it today, on n off for about 5 hrs. I went to the Borean Tundra location 48 8 and as usual not there. I decided to realm hop and voila she was right there.

Comment by missani

I just found her late last night/early this morning (1:30 am) in Crystalsong Forest 43.44.

After weeks of searching and just as I was about to give up and go to bed, I decided to check that last spawn point as shown in the Battle Pet Map tool on this site. It is a great tool in my arsenal for finding pets.

I also highly recommend using WarcraftPets.com. They have a cheat sheet that I find absolutely invaluable.

Good luck!

Comment by crownpriest

Just found an Uncommon at 68.2, 49.3 in Crystalsong Forest; Fri.Jun.12 at 12:53 EST.

Thanks for tall theo postings; made this cross-realm server camp much easier. I probably completed 3 spawn-point laps, and found this on spawn #3 of my 4th lap.

Comment by gc1ceo

I have been frustrated for years without being able to get an Unborn Val'kyr with my tactic being to search out all the spawn points in Northrend. However I recently changed to the tactic of camping out some of my 70+ lvl alts on 3 spawn points in a zone. Within a day I had my Unborn Val'kyr and have seen several more, they do seem to despawn after a while if nobody captures one which can make things more frustrating.

Comment by Hunterificious

I have three of these beauties, and only after I got some great advice- go to Grizzly Hills and Howling Fjord early in the morning, (around 2-6am server), and keep circling around the spawn points. The points are closer together in these zones than in any other zone, so its easier to check those spots over and over, plus early in the AM there's less people around. I got all three of mine between 2am and 4am, one from each of the GH spawn points.

Happy hunting!

Comment by THRobinson

Sat there for 4h (upper left spawn point of Shalozar Basic) and gave up and went to bed. Next day sat there an hour, nothing so went questions and 30min later found one on the bottom/centre spawn point in Storm Peaks.

Got it down only 25% of it's health before it sacrificed itself. Sigh.

Comment by OrbitStorm

My wife and I just nabbed a pair within two hours.

One was located in Dragonblight, along the pathway North of Wyrmrest Temple; captured as Uncommon H/H.

My wife was able to nab hers in Grizzly Hills, just East of Valgarde Port; captured as Uncommon Balanced.

I plan to keep searching, especially for another H/H for the wife since that is allegedly the best breed. I'll post back with additional findings!

Comment by JohnPombrio

I just got into pet battles a week ago (as I ran out of other things to do). I have been running around gathering up pets from all different zones. I grabbed the Unborn Val'kyr in my one trip around Northrend when grabbing all the pets I had not collected. I knew that it was listed in Warcraftpets as the number one battle pet so I figured it was easy to get, and for me it was. Then I came here, heh. Crystalsong forest at one of the spawn points, I forget which one.

Comment by Rowanne

Finally caught one, Directly west of the amberpine lodge, after Spotting and challenging one in Icecrown a month earlier and it killing itself. (Scream) I wasn't even on my "camping" alt, I had logged over to a lowbie to get the summer achieves and flew out of my way on the off change. My heart nearly stopped. Caught it really easy with a frog, using critter abilities and a heal. (Other pets were a beast and a flying pet.) It was a grey quality B/B L21 (lowered to 19 after capture, but used a rare stone and some levelling stones) Hope this helps.
*On a side note, I spent all the time looking for it and haven't used it since I caught it after getting a Ghastly Kid.

Comment by Jpbshsu

Found in Grizzly Hills at coordinates 80.52. The quality of the pet was Uncommon.

Comment by Garakros

Just FYI this pet can self destruct so don't fool around. I was so angry when this happened first time. Luckly I caught rare second time.

Comment by 1440875

If you accidently deal a fatal blow to the Unborn Val'kyr DO NOT WORRY since she's undead she will be made invincible for 1 round. Surrender the battle while she's still alive and she will respawn near you. Be patient though I had to do this three times until being able to capture her and she takes up to a minute to respawn.
Sources: expierence
Good luck and be patient half of the process is luck :P
Have a great time with your new underling!
Edit*
And by respawn I mean after you have surrendered. She will be at the same location you surrendered. Hope this helps!

Comment by superseppo

Ok, I just found one. And my lil ragnaros killed her in 1 crit. Flew around Northrend and didn't find another one. srsly wat

Comment by TigerBun

Can confirm Howling Fjord 45.8,43.0 location, caught mine in rare quality on 1st try.

Comment by w4rl0

I have a few questions about this pet. I found mine and caught it but it was a poor quality. Is there only one in all of Northrend, Meaning that once one is found it takes a while for another to show up? I know this might sound silly/dumb to ask but I've been to every spawn point with no prevail.

Location - Zul'Drak at 8:00 PM EST on Emerald Dream(US)

Comment by Graknak

Gave up after a few full runs of the continent. It seems you either need a raid with 27 people to each camp a spot to make sure you find her because flying around from point to point checking spawns is insanely inefficient as with each spawn you have at worst 26/27 chance of
NOT finding one. Simply because you can't guarantee nobody else is farming them, especially from the opposite faction. Not to mention the double breed problem, the suicide skills and the respawn timer. Might've been doable if the respawn was instant. Currently not worth the effort unless you have no social life and/or a job or 26 friends who want to help you camp spawns without capturing it.

Comment by 1494764

At approximately 02:47 12 Sept 2015 in Borean Tundra {80.79, 48.26} I became the very lucky, and and even prouder, owner of a level 19 Unborn valkyr (breed H/H). Here is how it happened:

I had gotten up to "see a man about a horse" and decided to to test the macros the many other fine pet tamers have posted here regarding this most excellent pet. I wasn't planning on running the whole route. While flying over Borean Tundra I setup my pet team following the excellent advice in Oslem's post: Bandicoon (1,1,1), Cockroach (1,1,2), and Frostfur Rat (1,1,1), all Rare level 25 Critters). I wanted the cockroach's Apocalypse ability just in case the fight was a long one, but it was never used.

At the spawn point between Unu'pe and Death's Stand I checked a green-paw print and it was a wild Unborn Val'kyr, spoiling for a fight. I started with the Bandicoon's Bite, but was not satisfied with the amount of damage, and switched to the Frostfur Rat and it's Stampede. This killed the Unborn Val'kyr, and after she performed her rebirth with minimum health, I was able to capture her on the first use of the trap. The other two pets were quickly killed (I think they were a rat and a crab) and I breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Come to a fight prepared, and you will usually win, but pure,dumb luck is always helpful. My heart-felt thanks to everyone who has posted about this pet.

Comment by NaraNara

Emergkul - Kel'thuzad

I literally just got it 10 minutes ago. I was flying through grizzly hills and I got it at the Northern spawn next to Thor Modan. She was accompanied by 2 skunks which were easy to take care of. I am now the proud owner of a lvl 20 common rarity Val'kyr.

Kudos to the person who posted the maps with the nodes on them. If it wasn't for those I wouldn't of been able to find it so fast.

Comment by nitte94

Just got one at 45 , 43 in howling fjord
- IM SOOOOOOOO GLAD ! :D

Comment by chordeiles

Found one in the Dragon Wastes of Dragonblight at 65.3, 35.7 after searching at least 5 different zones on the Garrosh server.The suggestion to follow along the broken path on the East side was perfect! Poor quality but as others mentioned above these are so easy to upgrade these days, it's best to take the poor one and leave others for your fellow campers.

Comment by Syngyn

Got mine today in Ice Crown. Level 22 (poor)! Here's my best advice: patience! Good luck everyone!

Comment by Katakaia

I'm curious; I've been doing loop after loop, and I only managed to see one Val'kyr. I engaged it and 2 seconds later was ganked. The Val'kyr was killed (not sure I did it or if it was a result of the guy ganking me), and I haven't seen another one since. Anyone know how long these pet's respawn timer is? Is it across all the spawn points in Northrend? Or is it individual?
Really bummed that I can be ganked in the middle of a pet battle.

Update: I just got my Val'kyr! I'm sooo pumped. Been circling Northrend for the past couple of hours, realm hopping as I went. Finally decided to just park it at the spawn point just northeast of Valkrion and focus on hopping realms for a bit. I almost missed it, it blended into the snow so well. I heart stopped! It took me a sec to actually move. I landed, saw no one around and started the battle. No Haunt! Thank the Lord, I didn't have to worry about it trying to kill itself. Took a deep breath and went for it with my Frostwolf Ghostpup, and I only needed to try my trap once! So lucky! I didn't breath a sigh of relief until the total battle was over, but the two skunks were taken care of easily.
Keep at it everyone. You'll get yours too!

Comment by 1220506

Caught mine in Crystalsong forest 17.4 57, in Proudmoore server at 0951 server time. She had Unholy Ascension the first two times so I forfeited, healed and on the third try got her. I used a Tree Frog with a Frog Lash, then 3 Frog Kisses till she got down to capture range. Second capture got her. She was backed up by two Rats, which I dealt with with Black Tabby Cat. She came on board as Rare, Lvl 20. Best of luck to everyone.

Comment by Pinco

I think I just found an H/H breed, so it's not true that can be only B/B...

Comment by LepTheLegend

I just saw one and catched it. Followed the spawn points from the map above and got it on 57, 39 in Zul'Drak. I guess I'm lucky though. Cost me 5 mins to find one. Are they super rare or not realy that rare? Thnx for the map though!

Comment by Zarcelito

Don't know why but I have this pet on my list, despite it seems to be a hard to find one.

Well...it's quite hard, cause I thought for long time that I didn't have it until I noticed my pet list.

Comment by Haloon

Just found her in Crystal Song Forest at 68. 69. on Kazzak realm 12.45 realm time.it was my last spawn point to check before giving up.Green quality,came with 2 rats .

Comment by anjeliekha

I finally captured an unborn Val'kyr today in the Borean Tundra at 47.64, 7.06; 1:38 pm Pacific time. The area is just northwest of Bor'gorok outpost on a green patched ledge for those without coordinates. Good luck!

Comment by 1424929

I thought I'd give it a go, and captured it within 45 mins at first try... Probably lucky no-one alse was chasing, I guess. I started in BTundra, went west, and then followed the trail of coordinates clockwise, finding it at my 10th stop, in Storm Peaks

Comment by ajones0516

I finally caught my Unborn Val'kyr today! I was so excited, I almost thought I was seeing things. She had UA at first, but I disengaged and restarted the battle. I recommend using the Terrible Turnip, as mentioned in some comments, so you can get her down to 1 health and not worry about killing her. She didn't even cast Haunt, which was lucky.

Found: Storm Peaks: Way Point 29, 50 on the NW side of Temple of Storms. 10:40 am server time on Area 52. (Eastern Time Zone).

Good luck to everyone! Don't give up :)

Comment by 1428484

Sad story - flew around Northrend for a few hours (a second time) looking for this spawn. Finally found it - ironically while heading to Dalaran to bind there and to my surprise saw it on the minimap at the spawn point south of Dalaran.

I got so excited to see it that I rushed down and started the fight, only to realise I had not healed my pets (including a levelling pet) from the previous fight! Needless to say, I lost the fight and it despawned..... Oh well the search continues :(

Comment by OverlordEthereal

Got it today near Azjol'nerub on Dragonblight. Coords were 26.75 , 54.19

Comment by variien98

It was very easy to got it :P. She was on third spawn I ever checked.

Comment by 965578

I just wanted to add something important. If the valk'yr dies by her own spell don't quit the fight. She did this to me after I failed capturing 6 times so I was like "Well whatever might as well finish these two cockroaches." After I killed the first cockroach she resurrected and entered the fight, and I captured her immediately.

Comment by ChronoAS

Found her twice (first died D:) in 10 minutes by switching realms, used Server Hop addon.

Make sure that you won't kill her as I did. But if you got an unlucky crit just concede the fight and join it again, she will still be there because she's undead tag.

Comment by Mediccfox

I Just got this one in Scholizar Basin. Apparently if you have it caged when the opposing faction attacks you, the pet automatically transfers to your pet journal. Sorry if this was already known. She was a common B/B Breed, made her rare with a Marked Flawless Battle Stone, and boosted her with Battle training stones to 25.

Comment by Havran228

Just catch it, 24.11.2015 09:20 realm time, Burning Blade realm, Dalaran location.. it was grey, but what are the stones for? :) man I am so happy, finaly I got my own Valkyre :)

Comment by Dieudefleche

I've been searching for one of these for a guildie of mine and I can confirm that she de-spawns after a while and moves to a different spot.

Comment by D34thsEyEs

Arguably the most hardest pet to find. I have been looking for it in Northrend according to the coordinates of certain locations, but I can find absolutely none. Is there something I need to do first to summon them?

Comment by wscott2420

I found all 3 of mine at the Storm Peaks Thunderfall location.What you you do is pick a toon and park it at this spot,I'm sure this strategy works at the other spots as well.Then just log in occasionally to check.There will either be a Unborn,another battle pet,or a level 1 critter in the location.I got all 3 of mine in probably about a week.

Comment by Fabolous1990

Got this today in Sholazar Basin after about 4 minutes of realm hopping.

Tip: Hop to russian realms if you are EU.

Comment by 1564613

FINALLY! After searching for these, and only receiving balance breeds, a guardian breed finally popped up for me just south of dalaran.. These are rare pets.. To catch each of their breeds is amazing!

Comment by 1071292

I just got this baby after looking and looking and looking ALL DAY! I was seriously beginning to think (as I'm sure lots of others have before me) that she didn't freakin' exist and WOW was just playing a cruel joke LOL, if you haven't found her yet hang in there, you will, just takes lots of diligence. And hey, if it was easy to get then it wouldn't be so awesome when you do finally find her! Oh and for those of you who'd like to know how I did finally get her I used the add-on Cross Realm Assist from curse. I would join a realm and just go between the 3 spawn points in Howling Fjord rather than going to all of them (which I tried earlier today by the way and it takes forever to go to them all). But once I started using the CRA within 2 hours I finally got her at Howling Fjord 45.8 43.0. Anyways hope this helps some folks out, happy hunting!

Comment by 1577728

I find this hilarious since I did not know until right now that she was such a rare, sought-after pet. I happened upon her a week ago in Storm Peaks and was like "You shall be mine". I have her out all the time because she looks hella awesome with my DK, whom I always have transmogged into her original Saronite gear (not the tragic skirt). Seriously, that hood is the only decent hood for non-cloth wearers in the entire game!

Comment by Damballa

just found one in zul'drak....killed it by accident

Comment by Seppuku

Found one in Crystalsong Forest

It killed itself, surrendered but did't respawned.

Comment by ipic909

I found her once but... I didn't know she was rare and thought she was a normal pet and being more invested in the current quest I wasn't interested so in the end didn't get her. :(

Comment by Unbeweaveable

Found one this morning after about 10 min of looking near ICC, first time I have looked in about a year (gave up a while back). One thing I will say for this and anything else rare is due to the way CRZ works you have a much better chance of finding anything on a RPPVP realm (Emerald Dream, etc..) than a regular PVP realm and especially PVE realms. I play many different realms but on PVE realms nowadays you can't look for anything without seeing other campers everywhere. RPPVP realms are the only ones where you rarely see anybody out in the wilderness of old content and thus more rares and such...... Good luck.

Comment by gizngoly

first time posting anything ^.^

i didn't read all 500+ comments, so i don't know if someone else posted this already, but i didn't see it. i had GREAT luck with my swamp croaker. just look through your frog pets. aquatic has a good defense against undead and frogs have critter spells, so they do more damage against them. i had my clockwork gnome and terrible turnip waiting in the back row, but i never got a chance to use them. trapped the valkyr and beat the other two with froggy

good luck!

Comment by Daylily

Oh my gosh! I actually found two of these little ladies today! The first one I found out in the HF and she committed suicide with Unholy Ascension before I could catch her. I was SO BUMMBED! So I came here and did some more research and learned that you want her to have Haunt instead of UA. I kept looking and about three hours later I found another one in Grizzly Hills! I was so excited! I had to abandon the fight about 4 times before she had Haunt instead of UA but eventually it all came up right. I used a Mac Frog with Tounge Lash and Kiss and I TL'd her once and then just kept hitting Kiss until she was low enough to capture. She never used Haunt.

I have my Val'k! Yay!

I am on a medium population server (Dawnbringer) and the first one was found around 11:30 am and the second one around 2:30pm.

Comment by Songbird2482

Got my poor quality level 21 in the top right corner in Zul'Drak on my first round.
Good luck to everyone looking for it!

Comment by Longfeng

I want to mention the breeds on this page actually. It says Breeds: B/B, but this pet can be a H/H as well.

H/H is the better one. The B/B version has a better ticking dot, but the pet is slow anyways, so you'd better go for H/H. You survive longer, so you might cast an extra spell.

Addon: Battlepet Breed ID (for the people that don't have it yet and want to know their breeds).

Breeds are for the real pet battlers like I am. A S/S raven for example is a worth a lot more than a normal B/B one for example.

Found her in Grizzly Hills @79,51

started looking today, and after a few hours found him in Crystalsong Forest (68.0, 49.0)

Best way to farm the Unborn Val'kyr is to do: Threat From Above

On the third day of that daily, I was waiting for the dragon to come around the corner and the Val'kyr spawned right on top of me.

Comment by Lucilite

I don't have 5 hours available to read through all the comments in this page, so somebody please just tell me straight.

IF ONE OF THESE SPAWNS AND I'M IN THE ZONE, CAN I /TAR IT OR NOT?
I made a macro , but I can't tell if it works. I've flown around Northrend many times, following a couple different maps from comments here, spamming the macro across all the zones, but nothing ever came up. So to test it out I had someone summon one that they'd caught before, and tried the macro while standing right next to it... still nothing.
I've also tried a dozen variations of the macro, using different parts of the pet name, with or without capitaliziation or apostrophe etc, but still no luck.

A little more troubleshooting and I've concluded that no OWNED battle pets can be /targeted at all, meaning I cannot test out my macro. So somebody please just tell me, IF YOU KNOW FOR SURE, whether or not a wild Unborn Val'kyr can be targeted by a simple /tar macro. If it can, then I will continue to hunt. But otherwise it is not worth my time to try.

Comment by leviatan1

I dont know if this pet is hard to get or whats the problem but i just went to the first spot in Dragonblight there was one poor quality, entered the fight with sunreaver micro sentry burned her she had not UA and got her, then upgraded her to rare with a stone i got from bags, and done got my rare valkyr

Comment by Magition

something has got to have changed with the spawn from these guys, i just had 4 chain spawn 1 after the other in icrecrown, thena nother 2 in storm peaks, 6 of them in 1 hour!

Comment by Expinapher

Apparently if you kill Nascent Val'kyr it will speed up the spawn rate. Many reports of this at a PT-BR facebook group. I'm going to try it myself in a moment.

Comment by nickp007

I just attempted the Celestial Tournament but was missing the Unborn Val'kyr, so I flew over to Icecrown after reading some of these comments saying that the spawn rate has been buffed up, went straight to the closest spawn (73.6, 64.8) and there it was, an uncommon quality lvl 23. Captured it easily with Anubisath Idol (my go to pet for capturing) and Terrible Turnip for the use of Weakening Blow. I remember flying around for hours when this pet first came out and never seeing one... I guess now they are easy to get?

Comment by Dianora

The spawn rate for this pet is significantly upped after patch 7.0.3. Based on the forum post elsewhere, I went about starting my hunt at Borean Tundra and immediately bag 1 HH breed. Went over to the Basin and bag another HH breed. I'm not sure if this is a bug due to the frequent reboot of the realm or has the spawn algorithm been changed. Get 'em while it lasts.

Comment by Dakind420

I can confirm these coordinates just caught mine in the eastern end of grizzly hills thanks a ton

Comment by Tjista

Just encountered one of this at the beach of Borean Tundra. It died, I got out of the fight wanting to restart it... It never respawned... :(

Comment by 1024513

Is there a reason there is a dark blue skinned form and the ligher version on the page? i prefer the 3d model form.

Comment by Aisenfaire

Important tip on battling the Unborn Val'kyr:

Do NOT damage its allies with AOE. I used the Terrible Turnip's Daylight ability (I wanted to heal myself) which hit all its allies. Missed 3x with Capture and then the Val'kyr decided to sacrifice itself to heal its slightly damaged allies. Ugh.

Small added tip:

This may be obvious to pet battler aficionados, but for those who aren't but just want the lovely pet:
I suggest using a Terrible Turnip and some sort of self-healing aquatic pets (ex. Pandaren Water Spirit). Hit it with Weakening Blow until it's around 10%, then keep trying to capture it. If it kills your turnip, you can keep trying with the self-healers.

Comment by Joejr82

A great pet to open up with when going after Legendary pets or Trainers, Open up with Curse of Doom then Shadow Shock use Curse of Doom again if you can but you save Unholy Ascension till your Valk dies and gets rez thru its racial that is when you use Unholy Ascension. The debuff will stay on the other team for its full duration.

Comment by Boxofbeer

Comment by 907181

It seems they spawn more regularly now. I saw and captured one and 10 minutes later it was back again on same spot.

Comment by 1699865

Caught one at about 4:46pm server time today, in Sholazar Basin, somewhere in the extreme north. Sorry I cannot be more specific than that; I was too excited to take proper note of the catch. Server is Emerald Dream.

Comment by Chidsuey

I'm not sure if this is standard or I was just lucky, but I found one in western Dragonblight, and after it killed itself, it respawned in the same spot after about a minute.

And as I finished writing this, another spawned in the same spot.

Comment by BabyCakes205

They were all over the place. I tamed 1 then looked around for a rare one. None of those, but I left all of the rest. I would say at least one per zone out there. Yay!

Comment by Tytrianna

Confirmed capture in Howling Fjord at 71.72, 43.46 at 11:18 AM server time (Shandris) Good luck everyone!

Comment by NorlandoDarrow

I and two other guildies caught one today within an hour of each other. Was the spawn rate increased or something? No realm hopping either.

Comment by Mexlol

They must be a lot more common now. Went to the eastern spot in Dragonblight and there it was...

Used a Fawn to tame it. I accidently killed it, but because it's undead it rezzed and I could tame it on 40hp.

After the battle, I'm writing this comment and I've just spotted a new one that's spawned, so the spawn rate is definitetly buffed.

Comment by SkiRed

For those who have 'sorted by Newest First', are looking for the way to get hold of your Val'kyr without all the doom and gloom mentioned below, here's what to do:-

a.) Fly around Northrend until the Val'kyr appears on your mini-map. This took me about 10 minutes.
b.) If it's grey, great, it will be easier to battle.
c.) Fight, trap and win... enough said.
d.) Collect 15 Pet Charms from either Battle Pet World Quests, Garrison Menagerie or other dailies.
e.) Buy a Marked Flawless Battle Stone from Lio the Lioness for 15 Charms.
d.) Use on your Val'kyr to upgrade to rare.
e.) Level her up!

Comment by Dragon72

Found one in Grizzly Hills. I was roaming around killing stags and wolves, and it was just floating there, so I went into pet battle mode. got it down, and tamed was all yay. then killed the other two battle pets with it. woot. dont remember coords, but stay somewhat near the purple splotches on the ground, where the wolves are, but not IN that area. good luck. and Merry Christmas.

Comment by sinestra139

Have these become easier to get with the new expansion? I just spotted one randomly when questing with an alt in Stormpeaks. I bagged it - sadly a grey but easily upgradable with a battlestone. Then I was just idling in the spot and another appeared within 5 mins. Despite being a keen pet catcher I have never seen one in the wild before let alone caught it and then seen a second. Location was just outside the spider cave in Storm Peaks if you're interested.

Also I can confirm that these are catchable when in their undead mode. I managed to kill this one and was cursing myself and then as an undead pet it resurrected and I managed to bag it in that round and it survived to become my pet. All smiles :).

Comment by Aladrias

I have a team of 3 Unborn Val'kyr called Lucinda, Lilyth and Ladashah. Many people forfeit when they see the team, but for those that stay, I find this strategy works very well:

1. Lucinda uses Curse of Doom then spams Shadow Shock. When she dies and comes back as immortal, she finishes up with Unholy Ascension.
2. Lilyth uses Siphon Life then Haunt.
3. Ladashah uses Curse of Doom and then Shadow Shock and a final Haunt if Lilyth is alive again.

At this point I just use what works at the time, if the other team isn't dead. This strategy means you can make use of all the Unborn Val'kyr's abilities which means you can end up with a stack of pain on the enemy. Fun!

Comment by Aladrias

A team of Sunborne Val'kyr and Unborn Val'kyr make for a beautiful but deadly combination.

Comment by zeeeestar

i went to all of the marked spots in crystalsong, dragonblight, and zul'drak. i went to the first spot in storm peaks (42.5,78.5) and there she was! i caught her (common rarity), and literally as soon as the battle with the other two were over another spawned. annoying, considering the time spent running around three other zones, but still lucky for whoever wanted her after me. makes me wonder about her spawn, though!

Comment by Sundancer

First time i have ever looked for this pet, i found it. North of Icecrown. While talking to friends about it, another one respawned in front of me (took like 5 minutes). I thought it is no longer rare and decided to try it. So i captured the second one too and waited again for like 10 minutes. It didn't respawn again.

Comment by Vanthalas

Just found it totally by accident at the path of titans in Dragonblight. I wasn't even aware that this pet was capturable, thought it was some sort of achievement or rare drop from a mob. Pretty happy about it.

Comment by gottabethebest1

Wow, I expected it to be rarer. Possible people just aren't farming them as much? Looked up this page, was surprised to see they had become easier to find, went to the spawnpoint nearest the Emerald Dragonshrine, and she was there. Neat.

Comment by 1552949

After reading all the comments I thought it would be fairly easy to find one but I've been flying around the spawn spots for days and not seen a single one, I have also tried camping a spot for a few hours and I even got up early after the reset hoping to catch one but still no luck.

Comment by JuneII

The first one I encountered while actively hunting for them was blue one O_O. And it had blue squirrel as support. I can't imagine how lucky I probably am.
It is B/B breed, found it in Crystalsong.

Comment by dscc

Thank you to all who compiled the coords and offered tips.

I logged in to say that she does show up on the minimap as a green paw icon.
After 6+ hrs of flying around high pop alliance Stormrage using tom tom &paste to put the coords in, an old friend suggested that I hop on realms with alts,

I went to Low pop US Lightbringer and promptly found her in the NE part of Grizz Hillls. :)

Funny all of the years I farmed Scholozar for herbs and ores and gamed Wrath... I prob killed her by mistake. XD

I'm finally pet battling and she was the missing link to the tourney. TY!

Comment by Stragista

It seriously killed itself.. T_T His spell 'Haunt' may hit the player or itself (Unborn Val'kyr). In my case it crit'd and damaged himself by 450 life points and killed himself.. I forfeited the match, but he didn't respawn sadly. ffs..

Comment by JackLenY

Found mine at last on the end of Storm peak over at 9:56 (+3 GMT) in a low population russian server.

Comment by ImagineMassacre

Since 7.2.5 I've seen quite a few Unborn Val'kyr spawning. Flying around on a high populated server I was able to find a handful up at once. As well was a friend who was also on a high pop server. We both could be getting EXTREMELY lucky, though I doubt it. Considering I had been helping them hunt for one and it took a few days to actually find one up. Not sure if anyone else has observed this as well but I wanted to share this information!

Comment by 1777858

Took me months to find the first one.. then magically today while camping for rare spawn Aotana in Scholazar Basin one spawned right next to me.. I captured it.. Then somehow it respawned once again.. Now I have 3.. 1 B/B and 2 H/H

Comment by RealUnimportant

I've been out of the game for a while & just returned, and was doing some refamiliarisation in Northrend when I saw one of these appear. I was sure I'd caught all the available pets before my break, so I was surprised to see that it wasn't already in my collection. Sadly, it despawned just as I was making a team to attack it.

I went back to the same spot again today (NW Icecrown) and lucky me, there it was again! So I caught it, and after reading this page I knew that the quality of the pet was much less important than actually catching it in the first place so the fact it was grey meant nothing to me. As I was reviewing its stats to determine the breed, I was astounded to see another respawn in the exact same place mere seconds later! Not wishing to look a gift horse in the mouth, I obligingly caught that one as well... And wouldn't you know it, it was grey as well. Ah well, can't have everything... But then I finally got around to comparing the stats, and it turned out that I'd miraculously captured one of each breed!

I'm off to see if my luck holds out on some rare mount drops now! :-D

Comment by Nachtblau

A few weeks ago I managed to catch both breeds easily. I saw a Val'kyr at almost every other spawn point listed in the comments. The first I saw was at 73:64 Icecrown. I think it must have been around 6 am Dalaran realm time. I then flew to the other spawn points, and there was one at almost every other spawn point, I think always around 20 to 25 minutes later. The last one I saw was probably around 9:30.

Comment by Alechs777

Hey! As I'm trying to obtain new Falcosaur mounts I've read maaany comments, and it turned out that this pet is very valuable. I made my way to old Dalaran, and headed Icecrown, but without luck. I found a poor quality one at 44. 43, I captured it but decided to try out more spawn points. I checked in Dragonblight and at the Forgotten Shore a rare quality Val'kyr was waiting. So I guess they can spawn at many places at once, or at least they do have a short respawn time.

Comment by Scoobydeux

One of the Unborn Val'kyr's moves is Haunt. If the Unborn Val'kyr casts Haunt, then for the duration of the Haunt, the Unborn Val'kyr "is considered dead", but when the Haunt expires, the Unborn Val'kyr revives, with the same damage as it had when it cast Haunt. You cannot target the Unborn Val'kyr while she is dead to you during her Haunt, but if you wait it out, you can capture her when she revives. I captured mine this way. Don't finish off the last of the other pets while the Unborn Val'kyr is Haunting; pass your turn(s), if you need to, until she revives.

On the other hand, Unborn Val'kyr lists Unholy Ascension as an ability; if she has this in her active moves list and casts it, she dies. Unless you go first and cage her that round, she's gone.

Comment by Empy3

Instead of having one spawned in the entirety of Northrend at a time, as of 7.0 these now always have one spawn up per zone. Since each zone only has 3 spawn points, it's very easy to find one now. Crystalsong Forest seems to be the best place to get one quickly, since the zone is smallish and the spawn points are therefore relatively close together. That said, the maps of spawn points on Wowhead are not great. Crystalsong has a third spawn point in the southwest. I would recommend looking on Warcraftpets to get better ideas of the spawn points.

Comment by remid0d0s0

Yeah, they are apparently no trouble to capture now. So I recommend you go capture them! They are so handy for pet dungeons etc. and extras won't hurt.

Just capture some gray or any quality, stone them to rare, and level them up from 18 as is convenient.

Comment by Alorielas

just picked up one in Icecrown by 42,32

Comment by Elinjo

I don't know what the spawnrate/time is but i just captured 3 of them within 10 minutes and all of them were in Sholazar Basin...

Comment by Currently

So, tonight is the first night I ever really attempted to start gathering pets. I was slowly working through Kalimdor, and then I decided to come to Northrend because it's a fantastic area. When I stumbled across this pet, I searched it on www.warcraftpets.com and this site; and I initally saw the number of comments and thought, "Well, I'm not getting this tonight." I found on the west coast of Borean Tundra approximately 32.59. Shortly after I captured it, another one spawned within minutes. This was on US-Proudmoore.

I hope this helps.

Comment by Naemyria

Captured today in Dragon Blight (82, 66) 1:40am ST on the EU-Moonglade shared realms! She was the only capturable pet in that zone.
Her team was made of a level 23 Arctic Hare and a level 23 Tundra Penguin.

Was lucky enough she didn't kill herself during the encounter. Used a level 25 Anubisath Idol to weaken her down, and captured her after the 4th attempt.

Found one at 8:32 pm.
Again at 8:42.

Comment by Volleynova

So you finally decided to get your Unborn Val'kyr? Easy.

Head to 71.7, 43.2 in Howling Fjord, Northrend. If not,
Head to 45.9, 43.1, if not,
Head to 68.2, 67.6.

There will be one up for you to capture. The spawn time has really gone down.

Enjoy.

Comment by mudplayerx

For some asinine reason Blizzard decided that you cannot cage this pet.

Comment by Gladly

Caught mine today (poor quality, as primary) in Howling Fjord and 71.72, 43.32 at 3:55pm EST/server time.

Flew straight to 45.88, 43.03 in Howling Fjord and caught another (common quality, as primary) at 4:00pm EST/server time.

There was only one up in each area at these times.

I accidentally killed the second one, but was able to abandon the battle after she undead rezzed, restart the battle with her and capture her that try.

Comment by VTSharpShooter

Needed an Unborn Val'kyr, so followed the above instructions on where to find them. 4 waypoints with nada, then the next 3 each had an Unborn Val'kyr. Great info, 1/2 hour later I was a happy Orc.

Comment by thebl4ckd0g

After a few more years of searching after getting my first one, finally got my 2nd one today in Icecrown at 44, 33 around 3:10pm Eastern time. It was green quality, and the other 2 pets were a blue quality cockroach and a grey quality one.

Used a Terrible Turnip, Dream Whelpling and Darkmoon Zeppelin as my team, although I only really needed the Turnip and the Whelp to capture/win.

Comment by Kaylizzle

Just caught my first one in Crystalsong Forest at 17,56. It was a common quality so I wandered around anyway. Found one in Dragonblight at 65,35 and went to Grizzly Hills to check there. Found one at 61,18. I'm thinking that now these may spawn at one spawn point per zone at a time, rather than one at a time in all of Northrend.

Comment by mystipines

It is now 2019. I can just caught my Val'kyr battle pet in Sholazar Basin @ 58.8,21.9. She is white in quality, but I have a stone to make her a rare :) Thank you for this guide all these years later!

Comment by entiquity

Finally got mine today. Coords right outside Dalaran. It does appear that the spawn timer has been reduced making this pet easier to obtain.

Comment by fancysox

I have horrible luck when it comes to mount drops, but incredible luck with battle pets, apparently. I caught my first Unborn Val'Kyr in the summer of 2015 after searching for 2 days (common). I caught my second one after seeing one randomly while doing Argent Tournament dailies about a year and a half ago (uncommon). I just caught my third Unborn today, again, while doing Argent Tournament dailies (uncommon). This one was where the Chillmaw daily is.

I actually put a lot of thought in naming my happy little trio of Unborns. They are "The Sisters of Death": Harbinger, Paroxysmus, and Stormageddon. Harbinger, a signal of a future event, foreshadow. Paroxysus, a sudden outburst or explosive event. Stormageddon, my first Unborn, just because I've loved that name ever since I heard it on Doctor Who.

Death is coming (Harbinger). Death's wrath is upon you (Paroxysmus). The end of everything (Stormageddon).

I think I've either had incredible luck or a glitch, but I was able to capture 3! Val'kyrs at one spot at 44.2, 33.7 in Icecrown.
Right after I've captured one another one appeared.

Proof: https://imgur.com/a/tZESFIh

I've had 2 H/H and 1 B/B breeds.

Comment by SanVegeta

as of today, 3rd November 2020, I found 2 Val'kyr, one after the other, in Borean Tundra. I've been searching for years...

Comment by xLunacyx

Everyone totes this battle pet but I think boneshard might be way more damage with black claw due to the number of hits you get from Chop & Blistering Cold. All valkyr has going for it is not wasting a turn changing pets, but you could just wait for boneshard's undead resurrection too.
Frostbite is getting black claw's damage bonus 5 times a turn so it's huge, especially with +50% damage from stampede abilities, and it persists through swaps.

I have picked up a total of 5 by camping these spots and randomly checking. 3 on my account 2 on my husband's. I have had 3/5 at the Icecrown 48,86 the other 2 at Storm peaks 42,79.

I picked up the Storm peaks one and decided to move my sholobasin camping toon to the ice crown spot i check on my main and picked up a second one within 5 mins of getting the first one. I have had no luck In sholo 59,22 or Zul Drak 57,40.

Comment by MassEnergy

Just got into pet battling and decided to commit an hour or so to finding one of these. Read the comments and went to Icecrown first, found a rare H/H at (43,33). I was on my hunter so I decided to go check on Gondria over in good ol' Zul'Drak as she was the last major WotLK hunter pet I needed. Sure enough there was a rare B/B Valkyr at (75,22) and Gondria was found at the last waypoint on my way back to the flight master.

As Ice Cube would say, "Today was a good day."

Comment by MuratSirin

I was looking for a Loque'nahak to kill for the Frostbitten achievement. Around 58, 21 in Sholazar Basin, saw this little pet. Thought it is cute and got it. I don't know if it is rare or not but the fact that i've never seen it, i think it's rare.

Comment by holykhaos

Just checked all noted spawn areas. I have the say that Sholazar Basin is the most productive. Found 3 within five minutes. All common quality.

Comment by grigorigo

Did blizzard buff this, or is simply no one interested in this anymore ? I literally found 2 Unborn Val'kyrs on my very first zone. I went to borean tundra and got 2 of them in 10 min.

trap misses 3 times in a row and it uses suicide spell T_T

Comment by Xinc

I checked every spawn point in Northrend tonight and didn't see one.

Comment by Ixeris

I just found one and as I flew up to it it disappeared before I could click it. :(

Comment by Wolfenstein3000

Just farmed 3 of them, upgraded them to rare and level 25 then saw it could not be caged to sell on AH.....

Comment by Liltuscany

I found her, then accidentally killed her. Will she respawn on same map, or do I have to leave the area altogether? I’m heartbroken.

Comment by vikascollection

Found mine using the top rated macros. After going to the 3rd waypoint, /way Zul'Drak 57.0, 39.8 it was there. Unsure if spawn chance has increased or changed since other patches. She brought two friends. An all critter team worked well

Comment by Jimmyv9

FINALLY got one.

Comment by Megiia

I recomend getting this pet as soon as new patch hits, since I ended up finding one as soon as I reached the first point. Barely any people farming one a patch day so it was rly easy.. I ended up seeing two one after the other by a chance cuz I was passin thru another spawn point.

Comment by wowfanGAL

it never too late to route with wm on i got lucky today with rare unborn! (so emerald dream soon tommrow GET IT NOW while people are distracted of the event!)

Comment by Ehayen

I have spent hours and hours hovering around spawn points in different zones, for decades, trying to find this pet.

Eventually I just gave up.

But then, one day, I was in Howling Fjord on a completely unrelated journey to tame an old elite bear, and there it was.

It just showed up randomly and I tamed it.

Comment by helmaks

I found her at

/way #120 65.2 41.8 Unborn Val'kyr

, but she sadly killed herself and I abandoned battle without knowing she would despawn.
I figured she might follow set spawn point and went to

/way #120 29.0 51.4 Unborn Val'kyr

where she was, not sure if I was just lucky :)

Comment by valentin25

I thought this would be a bear to find but got two within 20 minutes using the coordinates posted.

General Strategies and Tips
When it comes to Unborn Val'kyr the following paragraphs might not apply but I leave it in this post to help with catching other battle pets.

My strategy is always to kill all other battle pets in the zone around the waypoints (coordinates above) until I get hold of the pet I'm trying to catch. In this case Unborn Val'kyr. Before you kill it, just make sure the battle pet you are trying to catch can't be one of the two pets that can join the fight (ie 2:nd and 3:rd pet that joins the pet battle).

I usually initiate a pet battle and check what battle pets are present and just forfeit the battle if none of the pets are to my liking or I need to heal up before the real fight. Unless you kill or catch one of the pets, you can always forfeit the battle, heal up again and then rejoin the battle and the same pets will still be there. Doing it like this usually speeds up the search for the specific battle pets you want unless you just want to fight for the XP.

Personally I don't care about the quality of the battle pets since you can always use a Flawless Battle-Stone (or the family specific ones) to upgrade the battle pets to rare quality. Flawless Battle-Stones are easy to get doing World Quests or just by buying them with Polished Pet Charms.

I just wanted you to know that I caught a Unborn Val'kyr (B/B) in Grizzly Hills today.

I play on European servers, in this case Earthen Ring (RP server). I started the fight at 13:18 server time (CET, 1:18 pm). The Unborn Val'kyr was level 21 and as I said BB breed.

I was personally wondering if it would be better to catch a Unborn Val'kyr at evening or at night but I caught it pretty much in the middle of the day.

I already had two Unborn Val'kyrs HH breed that I caught many years ago, I just wanted to complete the collection with the BB breed. I actually also caught my HH breeds in Grizzly Hills way back when.

I caught the BB breed at these coordinates 79.4 51.8.

Comment by Agnos

Found on 7/28/24 in Borean Tundra (33,59) within 5 minutes of starting my search. 2nd spawn point I checked.

I used a targeting macro but didn't need one - i saw it on my mini map. No addons required, easy catch. Glad it wasn't a chore :)

Comment by dvl619

I saw one during the War Within pre expansion event but it got killed before i could click on it =/
