Drops Kobaltschieferschwinge, not sure of the drop rate but I'd assume somewhere between 1-3% based on other similar rares this expansion.

/way #2133 42.56 65.72 Karokta

Rarity String if you want to track your attempts with the Rarity addon (In game type /rarity, go to Import/Export, and paste this into "Import Rarity Item Pack"):

Just looted the Ridged Shalewing pet from Karokta.

I killed this on two chars today, same server and both wm on, and observed a respawn time of 50 minutes.

Kommentar von AveryZan

Does this rare spawn only on certain days? I did not see it at all on the first two days.

Kommentar von EagleFangKarate

it now correctly drops from the rare. Either hotfixed or its giga rare. but i saw 2 mounts drop in 2 kills.

Kommentar von Shredbull

Dropped for me today from Karokta on my 2nd account on my 1st kill of the day and I was renown 1 with the Loamm Niffen.

Here's a picture as proof. Happy Farming!

Kommentar von Evan559Matthew

2 hrs 30mins and still no spawn, starting to wonder if they changed the spawn time or some of the rares aren't up everyday. Yesterday felt like the spawn times where around 1hr or so, now havent seen a single announcement. Im also playing the refresh game on the lfg and no groups are posted either.

Kommentar von Lemistio

My bet is that there's different rares on different days, thus it's not spawning today

Kommentar von Acapulka

I killed her today around 20 times, 3 of my characters were 70+ and all others 60+.
Saw 0 mount drops. and we had all the time around 20+ people in the raid. Is it even 0.5% or bugged? Soundless 2?

Kommentar von AgentHawk

The new zone is divided into five smaller zones.
Zone 1 (Caldera) is always active - The other 4 zones follow a counterclockwise rotation for which zone is inactive for the day
That's why you sometimes wait a very long time for the mob ;)

Kommentar von AlexL1118

Should we be lvl 70 to get the mount and the pet? Or alts 60+ can also receive such items?

EDIT: Thanks to Acapulka for the reply about the pet. But regarding the mount - still unclear.

Kommentar von nufi20

spent the last days going into groups/raids one time on each alt around 40 times a day and havent seen mount drop for anyone.

Kommentar von msmoonkitty

So did blizzard accidentally put a . in front of the % so instead of 1% it's a 0.1%? Was it really intended to be this rare? Cos very few people are getting this mount (evidenced by the fact that the patch has been out weeks and wowhead doesn't even have drop rate data for it that's how stupidly low the drop chance is.... Really not sure if it was meant to be like this or not.

Kommentar von bloody2

The loot lockout now resets when the content in a given area of the map becomes available. Now, when world quests are visible in an area, the rare elite enemies in that area will also be available. Rare elite rewards have been increased to offset their reduced frequency.

Maybe this Hotfix from Today (Going Live EU on Wednesday) fix the drop rate?

As i understood you can now Kill the rars and then have a 4 day lockout until the rar have his day where he is not up. When he comes up on next day the loot lockout is reset.

So stays the droprate bad as now it is harder to farm the mount. Because you cant do it every day then

Kommentar von Dariuswow

No increase in drop rate, but a nerf to loot eligibility. Exactly what everyone has been asking for since the zone was introduced. I'm delighted to see that they're honoring their pre-expansion promise to listen more to the community. I definitely don't feel like a disrespected customer in any way. But hey, Blizzcon is coming back, so..... /cheer ?

Edit: Well, well... It seems like there was a buff in the drop rate (blue post) and as well as seeing it drop several times, I got the mount myself moments ago on the 18th attempt of the day. Will probably still take a while for some but glad to see something has been done and it will probably be less painful now. GG guys, we won!

Kommentar von MurlocsPapa

Soundless 2.0

June 7th Hotfix:

Zaralek Cavern

Fixed an issue where Cobalt Shalewing’s drop rate was lower than intended. Its drop rate is now in line with other similar drops.

Kommentar von yvesicle

What an odd thing for a rare elite's loot eligibility to reset with the world quests in a specific area of a zone, rather than with the normal daily lockout. I wondered why my addon was showing this rare as completed for the day when it's a new daily reset since I last killed it, I thought I had just misunderstood the comments here, but that's apparently how it works now.

At least his spawn area is pretty to look at because I'm probably gonna be here a while.

Kommentar von Hoshkar

I've seen quite a few 60ish people joining the raids for these.
Does this drop for non level 70s?

Kommentar von Ehayen

Oh good, I got some worthless currency.

Kommentar von Magus2002

Did this on 10 characters today back to back in about 1-2 hours just by refreshing group finder, 5-6 or so were in larger raid groups (5-15+ ppl) saw 3 or 4 drops, so drop rate has, at least def. gone up, despite it now basically being on a weekly loot lockout.

Edit: This was done on a Monday between 10-12 am EU server time. There were at least no shortage of groups/spawns up on various realms, didn't have to wait long inbetween relogs before a new group popped up. On my own server it seemed to respawn every half an hour/45 min or so

Edit #2! Did it on another 20 characters (lvl 62-65) the next day, after reading in the comments that it could drop for lower level characters. Saw only one mount drop out of all those kills, but I noticed most people in the larger raids were getting only one gray item and none of the blue items that usually drop, so I think there were just a lot of people killing karokta again within the same loot lockout period.

Kommentar von Sjah

Are u able to kill it multiple times a day on the same charachter just like breezebiter for a chance at the mount or not?

Kommentar von Borga76

For some unknown reason, the Slitherdrake customization that drops from Karokta is the only one out of all of the Zaralek rares that has a different drop chance. All of the others have a roughly 8% chance to drop, EXCEPT for the one from Karokta, where it's about 4% for some ungodly reason?

Kommentar von Esploratore

Strange to not see comments from other people soloing, especially since zaralek is quite deserted now: I heard only tanks and hunters can solo him but that's not true, I was able to do just fine with a 432 item level frost dk, took long though, 7 mins, during which no one joined from group finder, death strike healing more based on damage taken was very helpful, so I'm sure there's other dps specs able to solo it, as long as there's good self healing.

Kommentar von Webbling

I apologize in advance for the anecdotal analysis, but the few times I've sat for this rare to spawn feel significantly longer after Blizzard made the change to this and other DF patch zones that causes rares to despawn if there are no players around them. I'm not sure if anyone has noticed similar feelings.

Kommentar von Kamanakai

Karokta does not seem to be spawning as much as it was before the hotfix. I rarely see a group up for it now. A few days ago it spawned and despawned as I was making a group for it. Another player told me that it despawned at 25 percent as he was killing it. I sure hope they fix this or significantly up the drop rate of the mount. I used to kill it on ten of my toons in a few hours because there were so many groups formed. I only saw it spawn once in two days of camping it and only one group and it was in war mode. The new hotfix they made is terrible!

Kommentar von Freiszcze

I just killed it on my shaman about like 2-3 hours ago, meaning zone was and still is active. Now I'm camping GF on my second character - not only no grups show up whatsoever, I've seen one rare spawning, across all 4 active zones. This change is &*!@ing stupid.

Kommentar von Vexuz

With the recent changes the most important thing we can do is list groups to help each other, to make sure as many people can get attempts at the mount, it really can be a big help when you are trying to farm across multiple characters.

Kommentar von Gorhowl

these changes are complete arse, im usually not one for negativity but *!@# me these are horrible.

Kommentar von GiverDead

I will add all spawn times here:
EU:
- 14.01.2024 11:25
- 14.01.2024 17:40
- 17.01.2024 16:30-20:00 not spawned
- 18.01.2024 08:55
- 18.01.2024 11:55
- 22.01.2024 08:00
- 22.01.2024 10:00-10:44 not spawned
- 22.01.2024 10:44
- break
- 30.01.2024 09:10
- 30.01.2024 10:45

Looks like it spawns every 4 days (in this case i think shard does not matter)

Kommentar von PedroBlaK

Just saw 3 drops from a single kill in a raid of 10man. Maybe they finally buffed the drop rate of the mount.

Kommentar von LeonessDK

Please. If you see this rare, even if plenty of people are around already, please make a group for it so more can get chance. <3

Kommentar von Hiksday

Okay so, I've been camping this rare for about 50 kills now, considering there is a longer-than-daily-but-shorter-than-weekly lockout, I'm killing her on my characters every 4 days to be sure.

The only thing I'm 100% certain is that you'll very often be moved from your shard. Sometimes I see everyone around me disappear and it is INFURIATING to wait for 80 minutes and then be put in a shard where she'll apparently not spawn again for another 60+ minutes.

This has happened repeatedly, on days where she could spawn, I would kill her a few times early in the morning when nobody is around, and once people start logging in I would be moved several times. I have been waiting for periods up to 7 hours without seeing her spawn (and I'm 100% certain she was spawning that day), so I must have been moved at least 3-4 times.

TL;DR
She's quite annoying to camp. Make groups if you see her. Let a few people join.

Kommentar von deiXide

I have been camping this rare on 8 characters for months. Aside from the spreadsheet required to know when the mob is killable/available, I can say with certainty it is bugged. On more than a half dozen occasions, I have seen the chat announcement, but the mob never spawns. After that happens, it's "broken" until next reset on that shard, from my experience. I have sat, in some cases, for 8 hours, and it will not respawn. This is in addition to the random consolidation of shards, wherein you are automagically moved from one shard to another, completely negating previous spawn times. This is already one of the worst camps in recent years, and the bugs and shard shenanigans don't make it any better.

Kommentar von Facethievery1

For anyone who is trying to camp this rare in DF, be prepared for a long and infuriating ride. Zaralek Caverns likes to generate new shards (basically additional phases for players) to prevent overcrowding. I strongly recommend anyone interested in this mount to download the addon NPC time as it can show how long a shard has been active on an NPCs tool tip.

This rare does not have a daily lockout like 90% of the rare spawns in the game. His loot lockout is based on the where in the cycle you are for the which sub-zone of ZC are active (refer to top comment with the ZC zone spreadsheet). In other words, his loot lockout can last between 1 and 4 days depending on what day you loot him on. Once the Glimmerrog sub zone is unavailable for the day (i.e. a day Karokta will not spawn), that resets the loot lockout and you can loot again when he's available the next day at the daily reset.

Back to camping Karokta, you are very likely to be randomly dropped into a newly created shard while camping this rare out. You will have zero warning when you are about to be sharded. You will only see any players near you disappear and (if using NPC timer) you will see the nearby neutral mobs will have alive times of less than 5-10 minutes. You can also check the flight master up the hill for further confirmation of when the shard was generated (since friendly NPCs cannot be killed).

When placed on a new shard, it is as if Karokta JUST died and you have to wait out the whole 1hr+ spawn timer. You will see many stories of people waiting 55 minutes only to be placed on to a new shard and having to wait another hour and/or having this repeat several times though a single day causing them to wait HOURS to even see the rare.

Here are some ways to reduce the chances of being sharded out:
1) Camp during off peak hours (e.g. late at night or early morning) when there are less players around.
2) Camp on RP servers which are less prone to sharding due to less players in general (RP servers have very small cross-server groups). It is worth noting you only need to be level 60 to enter ZC and loot Karkota.
3) Camp with war mode on. War Mode inherently has less players, but you will have to deal with the other faction possibly tagging Karokta first (i.e. you risk losing the kill).
4) Not really a tip, but you could also wait until next expansion where sharding will be vastly reduced for all DF zones.

Kommentar von jcarneiro

Starting a Premade Group when the WQ pops up instantly moves me out of the layer the rare was in, effectively making me lose the spawn and having to wait several hours for a new one due to the recent sharding issues.
So yeah, unfortunately I won't be able to help listing groups for the now incredibly rare Zaralek mobs anytime soon. Sorry.

It's baffling to me how game-breaking this whole situation is and the continuous inaction on it.

Kommentar von matsvejko

Been waiting for 3 hours to spawn, got a warning that rare is coming and 7 seconds before she appears i got sharded. THX Blizzard-just WASTED

Kommentar von adinuras

Just a fun demonstration of how farming this mob is going...today immediately after reset i got 3 consecutive kills at 11:00am, 12:00pm, 1:00pm...ish...and then i started on my 4th alt

1:13pm began waiting for respawn...zone sharded me at 2:01pm to a shard less than 5 minutes old
2:01pm began waiting for respawn again...zone sharded me at 2:49pm again to a brand new shard
2:49pm began waiting for respawn again...zone sharded me at 3:42pm to a brand new shard
4:42pm began waiting for respawn again...zone sharded me at 5:55pm to a brand new shard
5:55pm began waiting for a respawn again...zone sharded me at 7:08pm to a brand new shard

**just some notes...who gets sharded seems completely random and has no correlation to how long youve been in Zaralek...by keeping track of the /who in the zone for my faction i can kinda judge how long someone has been there in comparison to me...sometimes i got sharded first...sometimes they did...sometimes we both did...unless maybe your shard position is based on when you entered it regardless of whether you've logged in and out...

**also...it doesn't take many people in the zone to shard...i've had an alliance and horde character on the same shard at the same time....and when i checked there was less than 50 people in the entire zone between before we got yeeted to a new shard

**Being afk/active doesn't make a difference...i've been afk watching my screen while i do paperwork and get sharded...i've been active the entire time messing around and still get sharded

**It also seems to get worse as the day goes on…i have consistent success in the morning/early afternoon and have an exceedingly harder time at night…i’ve even tried very very late night to see if maybe its because of a higher volume of people are playing in the evening causes it…but still extremely hard to catch a spawn at 3, 4, 5 am est.

Between myself and people grouped with me i have seen 3 drop out of 437 attempts. Not like everyone wasn't aware of exactly how infuriating this rare/phenomena is. Just documenting to keep myself from going insane. GL out there.

Kommentar von Darenet

Yo, for like a week straight, I've been waiting on her to show up between 4:00 PM and 11:00 PM every day. But for the past 5 days, she's been a total no-show. I've been glued to the screen the whole time, keeping an eye out - gaming on the other monitor. Is it really that big a deal to get her spawn sorted? If you're planning to farm her, I strongly suggest checking first whether the issue's been fixed or if it's still hanging around, 'cause right now you're just wasting time. So if you want just do "anything" before S4 - i can recomand you different way, how to kill your wow game time.

Kommentar von lePangaea

all the comments complaining about the sharding in this zone are completely valid. this is probably the most annoying mount to farm in all my time playing wow. waiting around for over an hour, only to be sharded as soon as she is about to spawn in is a frequent occurence, happens to at least 2-3 of my characters every cycle. blizzard please address this.
