Odile's Comments

This one took me a lot of time, two months of trying.  I agree with some of the other posts, best to do this in small quanities.   Have been going back and forth between the beach and the cavern.  Gotten nothing in the cavern as yet.   The Mobs aren't bad one on one but when they swarm you, you are doomed.  Seems to be a very low drop rate.    The pet is very cute.  Quite worth the trouble.

Serpent's heart will drop this recipe but the rate is low.  It took me 9 weeks. Gems drop most of the time.  Primals drop about every 2 weeks.  

I had given up and bought the pet.  3 days later the recipe dropped. 

Recipe was very expensive via this route.  They still will drop from Ancient Cache and very rarely from mobs in the vale, if you are a JC.

Taluka's advice is spot on.  Would only add that the more buffs to have the better.  Would try to stay with in reach of the blue fires so you can re-buff.  I think I will be killing and dying a lot to get this pet. 

The respawn for the purple crystals are now down to 15 minutes and the spawns are easier to kill.  However you can only click on the crystal and DPS the adds once per day.  The number of spawns seems to vary a lot.  I did it today and got no Scary Sprites at all.  Run to tree to engage more sprites.  You can herb the dead Scary Sprites and will get herbs, buffs, junk. I have herbed any scaries I see but no pet drop.  Doubt you can get it that way.

I think the drop rate is no more than 1-2%.  I looted about 50 chests to get him.  Others have reported 80 or more chests to get him.  No one has commented about his quality. I got a rare which is too bad since I don't do pet battles.  

With the latest patch the recipes come from Serpent's Heart.  Does anyone know the drop rate? Seems way below 1%.  Only getting gems so far and ony 1 primal diamond in 2 weeks.  

Update - another primal diamond after 2 weeks but still no recipe

I have an Engineer and an Alchemist. Each can make 1 of the mats each day.  I have been planting snakeroot daily on both.  The ghost iron goes for the engineer to make the Jard energy source and the trillium goes to the alchemist for the living steel. I have been able to keep up without having to supplement Trillium ore very often. Living Steel goes for ~500 gold on my server so it saves a lot having an alchemist make it. Love him

Took my friend and I each about 6 weeks of daily Blingatron 4000 to get the pet to drop.  We are both Engineers but I don't think that is necessary.  Keep trying. 2% drop is not that bad.

I followed Horaha's advice since my base fishing level is 575.  I checked with Ben of the Booming voice. I used my hat, lure and Pandaran fishing charm.  I got 2 in 45 minutes from Jade Lungfish pools.  I also got one the other day, same thing, checked with Ben and fished pools near Stormstout Brewery as he directed.  Only wish I got another color today. 

I got the stone armadillo last night and it turned out to be my first RARE.  He was in one of the dry riverbeds.  I was very excited.  I was working around the Cenarian place to level up before challenging the trainer. 

I just got him and it doesn't say the quality.  In fact it doesn't say any quality for any of my companion pets   However the stats correspond to uncommon with the calculator. I don't understand why all the ones you get with quests are not "rare" quality.  It is harder to get them and this one cannot be traded. 

 

I am ending up releasing most of the ones I get in battles.  Only to lvl 7 in battles but I have to say it is not very satisfying.  I liked getting pets the old way better. 

Can you get the Lost in the Deep Pebble Quest while you have open the Ricket one with the bombs? I was keeping it open in case I stumbled on Jadefang for my husband and guildies but now I am wondering if I just shot myself in the foot. The quest isn't turning up. Although with my luck it came up last week while I was away. I have 8/10 and would like to get Pebble before MoP

Abandoned the bomb quest and it did not help. RNG gods were favorable. Got Pebble on the eve of MoP 9/24/12

Took me 21 runs. 20/21 normal. Heroic wasn't much harder than normal at 85.
This got me to 150 before the update!!! Got my celestial dragon!!

This pet is actually easier to get than Pebble . Once you have Underground Economy (and get the bomb) its just a matter of when Jadefang spawns. Underground economy is offered when Pebble is not. Once you have the bomb line your self up with your back to the cave and put the bomb in front of you. Spawns usually every 3-4 hours. You also can find a chest in the cave with Green armor. You must have NPC scan add-on and delete the Cache folder if you saw him before but didn't get him.

Where is the best place to get this guy in the sewers? My husband got his by the arena in the back. I have tried there and at the dock but no luck. I even got my fishing to 770 with hat, Kaluak pole, potion to transform me into a walrus and a lure.

Desperate in Dalaran

PS finally got it # 149

Check out the new Archeology Info on Wowhead.  Once you reach 600 in Pandaria you can buy crates of fragments from Pre MoP places and with Crated artificacts. One poster said you get 5-9 per crate.

it doesn't include keystones.  You can save up the lower items as you level and use them at the end to get Tol'vir fragments

You definitely need to do Archy in Eastern Kingdoms for this one since there are so many more Dwarf sites. Kalimdor favors Night Elf sites The main issue is that You will make a ton of common items more than once before any rare items are offered. It is random which rare ones come up. Therefore you will do a lot of artifacts before you get any pets. I recommend you watch TV while you go for these Archy pets or it will drive you nuts. The Tol'vir ones are the hardest.

You need at least 10 dark iron ale. Morja is near the First Aid quest giver at DM Faire. Put a mug of ale at her feet and she will give you a quest. You find Jubjub to the left of her wandering around the circlular enclosure behind the tonk area, You need to drop a mug and lure him with the mugs. The distance between Morja and the fence to her left will still work. Drop the mug and when he comes to it, drop another quickly since he runs away. Keep repeating until he reaches Morja,
