Killed him in a 5 man group today (~T11 gear) very easily. Dropped a nice epic polearm for my tank druid and a caster cloak. :)

One of the new outdoor raid bosses in Cataclysm, all of which seem to have 30 million health, and drop heroic quality blue gear.

This one is in Vash'jir, as one might expect, it being a whale shark and all.

Kommentar von midnightstar

This leviathan, both beautiful and terrible to behold, has the most badass title in World of Warcraft. We've had Rising Tide and the Turning Tide, but never Crushing Tide.

Kommentar von Mobus

Oh it looks like I'm an outdoor raid boss in Cataclysm :)

Kommentar von 721588

I saw him swimming around the Abyssal Breach...needless to say my heart nearly stopped, both from fear of getting swallowed whole and from awe of its beauty lol

Kommentar von Skewk

He has 3 abilities:

Ram: Casted frontal cleave that the tank can outrange

Wave: Casted AOE hits for a fair amount of damage (Has a "charge up" cast followed by the actual spell cast itself)

Algae: Appears to be a single target casted spell

Please Note: The group I did this with had roughly 25 level 80-83s with 3 tanks being ICC 25 Heroic geared levels 81/82 so the damage may be less significant @ level 85 with badge gear/heroics gear.

He dropped http://www.wowhead.com/item=67153 and roughly 250-300 gold.

Kommentar von Sauze

A couple of hours after the release of Cataclysm, a guildmember spotted this giant shark whale.

We then decided as a guild to go kill him =)

Tactics:

Since our first attemp, we noticed that he hitted for ~ +90 000 phys damage easily.
But it's a very slow mob.

On our second attemp, with a full raid of 40 members, we used
- 4 tanks to ping pong this mob by just taunting it off from eachother.
- 36 dps.

When one of our tanks died, we had someone to go out of combat and rezz the person.
When one of our dps died, same story.

And after ~ 15 min, we managed to kill it.

Note:
We were all around 80-81, meaning that lots of our attacks (even taunt) missed a lot.
Be sure to get a shaman (with waterbreathing glyph) or a warlock that cast waterbreathing on everyone. Keep on eye on your breath!
We used a druid to get out of combat quickly and rezz (aquatic form, swim away out of combat and back)
Mobus is GIGANTIC! You might need to get a bit used to his "weird" hitbox.

Happy hunting!

Kommentar von Mobus

Approximately how high up is he? If I'm looking for him, should I be swimming around the sea floor or closer to the top?

Kommentar von vazhkatsi

technically, all of these bosses are supposed to be for a well geared and skilled heroic 5 man group. which is why they only drop one piece of loot, and its 346

of course, these are all being farmed by certain guilds already, so fat chance ever killing them unless you're lucky enough to be nearby when they spawn.

Kommentar von 751856

Very easy kill for a heroic geared 5 man group.

Comp:
Bear Tank
Fury Warrior
Fury Warrior
Destro Lock
Holy Paladin

The fight took roughly 15 minutes, but healing was very light. The bear avoided "Ram" by simply swimming up and down. Everyone swam out of range for his aoe "Wake" ability, and just simply swim out of the Algae he casts. I believe our bear said he used 4 or 5 innervates throughout the encounter, but again, healing was very light. Easy 41 gold and boe polearm :-)

Kommentar von Redsoxxfan4394

Here is a video of my guildies and I downing him.

Pretty simple. Like the above post stated.
A couple of the dps stood in the wake and were killed, so they were released ran back.
Easy fight, easy money. :)

Kommentar von KarthosCael

We tried to drag him down to a ledge so that our Shammy could properly use his Healing Rain (can't place target in mid-air( or is that mid-water?). It was too far, and Mobus leashed back to his spot.

However, this caused a bug in that none of us could attack him "Target Not In Range"

If this happens to you, simply get everyone to relog, and he will appear in his proper place, allowing you to attack him.

FYI, did this with about 12 people, 1 tank 3 healers, semi-heroics gear. Ram hits like a truck but everything else is pretty managable. It took a long slow time to kill him, tho... watch your DPS' mana, I guess.

Kommentar von 760652

Since this is a rare elite, can anyone tell me the spawn timer on it, cause Iv'e been circeling around that area for an hour or two now and still haven't seen the shadow of it?

Kommentar von TRoXa

as this is a rare elite that requires a party/raid to kill. Does it give any Justice Points or valor points or is it just a "normal" elite mob like northrend rares etc?

Kommentar von 544520

We did this with 5-Man by having a Druid for kiting him. :)

Kommentar von 521224

Just downed with a raid group of 9.

1 Warlock
1 Rogue
2 Shadow Priest
1 Feral Tank
1 Resto Druid
1 Hunter
1 Ret pally who switched Holy mid fight
1 Resto Shaman

We had a lock place his portal to give us an idea of how far we were moving. Our main movements were up and down for his wake ability. He has a long cast time for ram, which gives anyone in front of him plenty of time to move to the side. Casted algae fairly often, but the damage was not too terrible from it. There was a point where we began to wipe, but the remaining DPS simply kited him around long enough for the tank and a healer to return. Therefore, I would speculate that the tank could kite for the majority of the fight, only periodically coming in to reestablish a solid aggro base. Also, if you do get killed, you do have plenty of time to get back to the action.

Our tank had just dinged 85 earlier the day of the kill, so not very well geared at all. Only sitting on 135ish thousand.

Any as with the others, this fight took 13-15 minutes. Best of luck all, and happy hunting.

Kommentar von 759403

If you're a caster/range class then if you REALLY have enough time you can kite him, he moves slower than you, but would take a long time to kill....and if you slip up he hurts.

Kommentar von DoomedDomain

This is of the 5 rare-elite mobs added in cataclysm, with one in each new zone as follows:

Garr - Everyone's favourite Molten Core boss, relocated to Mount Hyjal. Now with 99% less rage over the drops, guaranteed!
Mobus <The Crushing Tide> - A huge whale shark in the Abyssal Depths of Vashj'ir. Probably wants to eat you.
Xariona - A twilight dragon roaming the center of Deepholm. Sadly, it doesn't sparkle.
Akma'hat <Dirge of the Eternal Sands> - A Tol'vir style colossus located in Uldum. Still no eye lasers... everything's better with eye lasers.
Julak-Doom <The Eye of Zor> - A flesh giant, its mind taken over by a Merciless One, found wandering Twilight Highlands. You could chew through its 30 million hp, but a cork stopper would probably do the trick too.

Kommentar von 395996

Just three manned him today, fairly easy.

Had a resto druid (me)
Prot Pala
Muti Rogue

Took us 31 minutes to get him down. The rogue wasn't able to stay on him for the entire time due to his Wake (Nachstrom) ability.

It was very easy to heal how ever, 3 stacks of lifebloom with the occasional rejuvenation was more then enough to keep the tank up. Ram was the only thing I really had to heal through with nourish. Asides from that it's easily doable with 3 people if you have the time.

Kommentar von Fosuya

Tried to two-man this today, but for some strange reason we got pvp tagged(were on a normal RP-realm) and an entire horde guild showed up nuked us down then took the boss kill. Anyone else noticed if the world bosses actually tags you for pvp or if this was some sort of bug?

On a side-note, this specific boss should be easily 2 manned if you have the patience.

Kommentar von 769864

Mobus is one of the big bad rares [= i managed to down this bad boy with 16 decently geared 85s it kept reseting at 20% and it reset 5 times before we could take him down i suggest using a tank pass along taunting from tank to tank so noone gets hit [= (i got the polearm as i was the one who found him and started the raid) GL for all of you that are currently trying to find/down this feriocious monster!

Kommentar von 531249

This Rare mob (Boss thing) got 30062k HP and Drops a polearm that is pretty good for hunters or to sell on Auction House: Abscheuliche Hellebarde von Mobus
He only drops the polearm with 100% drop chance.
Killed the whale with my guild in first try, its not hard. :)

Kommentar von Dreadmight

Downed him today with five or six guildies. After a little fiddling with how to tank him, we got into a pretty easy rotation, and managed to down him. However, three or four times during the fight he would seem to simply forget that I was tanking him, and turn and start attacking random people.

Kommentar von Aravell

I just killed this guy today, raid of about 10 people. We had 1 level 84 healer, a bunch of dps, and i was on my hunter having my pet tank. Many deaths in the melee mostly and my pet also died many times but i managed to keep ressing him and taunting back Mobus. He dropped the polearm. Pretty damn entertaining lol.
My pet was also Jadefang, the rare shale spider that I had just tamed today on Earthen Ring ^_^

Kommentar von Dementron

He also apparently has an ability called Thrash. While healing, I got two close to the tank and promptly died. According to the combat log, he gained extra attacks from Thrash, and hit me twice in a row.

After he is aggroed, he has a fairly short range he can travel before he evades and returns to his route. As others have pointed out, this includes the vertical axis, so be very careful if you decide to kite him.

I tried to solo him as a moonkin, kiting him back and forth over the same spot on the minimap to try to keep him from leashing. Wake has a very long cast time, and Mobus usually follows it immediately with Algae and Ram, so the cumulative casting gives plenty of time to strafe around behind him and lure him in the opposite direction. I tried to use the cliffs in the distance to gauge my height, but after forty minutes of sunfire spam and 14 million health he hit his vertical limit and leashed back. If I can find an addon that gives a vertical coordinate or a way to mark a specific height in the water for a couple hours I'll post it.

Killed Moby last night with 1 prot pally 1 ret pally 1 holy pally 2 hunters and 1 resto druid. Alllevel 85

Kommentar von 388083

Just downed this about 30 mins ago. 11 of us. I was tanking, there were 3 healers, and 7 dps. Was a fairly easy fight.. except for the *6* allies trying to kill us the whole time!

Even with all of them whacking on our healers and trying to CC me, we pulled through. It was pretty epic! =D

Kommentar von Shibby77

So we 4 manned this earlier yesterday and it's actually very easy to the point where if people know what they're doing, no one should really take that much damage.

Our group consisted of

Prot Pally (me)
Death Knight
Rogue
Holy pally

Basically, engage him and have your dps and healers gather on one side of him, make sure not in front of him near the tank, or behind him. You want your dps and healers gathered due to it being an underwater encounter, it's hard to tell distance and our healer ran into the problem of people being out of range of heals.

He will cast Wake which is actually a very long cast which then leads to a channeled ability. All you have to do to avoid this is have everyone swim down as he's casting it, wait for the channel to end, then swim back up.

Continue fighting and you'll notice that he randomly casts Algae at someone in your party/raid. It will make a green spot near them which is basically a "Get out of the fire" mechanic, simple to avoid, just move. Odd enough, he only seemed to cast it at me (tank) and our healer.

The one other ability you have to watch for is Ram which again is casted, and can simply be avoided again by swimming down. We didn't actually figure this out till we had him at about 45% and would've saved the healer a lot of mana. The tank should be the only one who has to swim down, as it's a frontal ability.

If you do as stated above, everything should go clean and smooth, with little to no problems. Myself as a tank was decently geared with exalted rep items and heroic gear, nothing too great. And our healer had just dinged 85 about 2 days before. It took us about 20 minutes to kill him with 4 of us, so if you have more it should be rather quick.

The last thing to remember is his Enrage which can be removed by classes with enrage removing abilities. We simply had our rogue shiv to remove it. He seemed to cast it around 30ish %, I can't remember exactly, but after we removed it he didn't seem to recast it. If you don't have anyone that can remove it, simply out heal it as it only seems to last 2 minutes.

Good luck to everyone trying this, you can find a screenshot of our kill here.

Kommentar von xonone

I did a raid with 11 people (2 tanks / 3 heals / rest dps) and got him down in about 3-4 minutes. Dropped the polearm and alot of gold. Worth killing for the gold but some people didnt like the loot.

Killed in the Abyssal Depths around the breach near the surface. Had another guild try to glitch the boss. Evaded a few times but he got him down without a problem.

Group Leader: Hey, guys, theres a whale called Mobus we should kill!
Group: YEAH! Lets kill him!

(Group runs off to kill Mobus)

Tank: Ok, I'm pulling!
(Mobus roars as he gets stabbed)
Healer: GET BACK! GET BACK!
(Tank moves back a fair bit)
Mobus: Dude, You can stab me, burn me, freeze me, shadow bolt me, shoot me with light, all of that crap but I will NOT stand for being tanked over there!

Kommentar von Ganrokh

Mobus's Dripping Halberd
Binds when equipped
Two-Hand Polearm

Equip: Increases your mastery rating by 222.

Get it now and hold onto it until it changes next patch :)

Kommentar von 809610

I killed him today to get polearm for one of my alts
So - you don't need to kite or have hunters or 2 tank
We did it in 5 man - i was tank with my droid - heroic tank gear on it
One healer , one paladin , one hunter and one warrior - so total random
Was a no kite - MOBUS doesn't need to be kited

Only thing that you need to do as tank is move away from his face when he cast it hits pretty hard but not unhealable, i used only bskin and was enough, on - aoe effect - all move away (melee) and on debuff - cast on single target - just move a bit to a side. Simple as that.

Was a long fight, boring but i get the polearm for my hunter

So - NO NEED: 2 tanks or kite for MOBUS
Also remember he is reseting

TY 4 trying to understand my poor English - after all is not English skill test - is a forum

Kommentar von Palatrino

Killed him 4th April 2011, group of 5.

Prot paladin
Fire Mage
Fire Mage
Resto Shaman
Disc Priest

30million hp -> ~25min (slow time due to just two dps)
----------------------------

Double healer isn't necessary, we just lacked people at the time online and they both had double healing spec as main and off-spec. Like many have said, only time you really take a big number of dmg is on the Ram ability. Else it's tank and spank and move out of Algae.

When you tank him move as little as possible due to him/it easily bugging out.

Also don't have anyone else but the tank stand in front of Mobus, due to the ram ability.

Ezmode. :)

Kommentar von Icebebi

We just killed him 6 x 85's

Pala tank
Enhancement Shaman
Elemental Shaman
Destro Lock
Arcane Mage
Disc Priest

It took around 9 min with 1 heroism and Fire Elementals popped.

The deal here is to stay out of his range when he does his AOE: Wake and Ram - and to move when you get Algae spit on you.

A pretty simple fight if you just stay at the same spot and dont move him up and down - cause he does - as mentioned before reset if you move him too much up or too much down.

He dropped the polearm ;)

/Happy hunting, Ice

Kommentar von rzzr

Will the old polearm change to the 359 version or will you have to kill him again?

Kommentar von chaoscurtis

Hum, I wonder if I could solo him, because my mend pet heals for about 12-14k per tick.

Kommentar von 811963

Just to put it out there, if you're wanting to kill this guy and need some people to help, be cautious of who you get. I invited a hunter off my friends list, offered him 500 g, and he proceeded to make his own group with some of his friends and ninja'ing the spawn and Halberd because he "Needed it for his raiding". Don't we all....

Kommentar von threehoursleep

His health has been lowered from 30 million down to 12,883,800.

We killed him with just 3 people. A tank, a healer and a DPS.
It takes a couple of minutes but is very easy.
So if you come across him, all you really need is two friends to get the halberd.

He also dropped the world drop BOE ring Gilnearischer Ring des Ruins.
According to my experience with the cataclysm world bosses and other posts on wowhead, the loot table seems to always contain the following:

The epic item (359 ilvl) named after the boss.
A random boe epic item off of the known world drop loot table (359 ilvl).
A green jewel-crafting recipe.

Edit: Changed the estimated new health value to the actual value and added clearer information about loot.

Kommentar von 14067

I've been camping this guy for almost 6 days now but have yet to see him spawn. Any clues as to his spawn timer ?

Kommentar von Linamar

I've been looking for a few days as well, just hanging out and running NPC Scan. I haven't found any info about his spawn time either.

Kommentar von 601993

Killed on Sisters of Elune May 14, 2011 at around 7:30. He dropped a nice halberd, necklace and a JC recipe.

Kommentar von Weyard

Spawned today on Wyrmrest Accord - US at around 6:22pm server. About gave me a heart attack, I was just idly circling for Poseidus...NPC scanner picked him up all the way from South of the Ruins of Vashj'ir. I didn't go after him, of course, being alone.

Kommentar von 14067

Day 8 on Bleeding Hollow server US. Still no Mobus. Does he stayed spawned til he is killed or does he disappear ?

Kommentar von 825140

Killed him about an hour ago on Stonemaul - US. Only took four of us, took about 5 minutes. He dropped Mobus' tropfende Hellebarde, Wundverbandshandlappen, and a green JC pattern.

Very easy =)

Kommentar von theyanger

Has got to be the easiest of the 'group' bosses purely because of how easy it is to avoid his attacks with proper Z axis movement. I soloed the first 25% before a guildy asked to come help, and we easily duo'd this guy otherwise. Blood DK and an offspec resto shaman mostly just lightning bolting the guy. Very very worth the forever and a day it takes to underman him, since you get to split 2 BoE epics and a rare pattern :)

Kommentar von Cpain

went out to Vash'jir to look for Ghostcrawler (found him) as I ported into the zone my NPCScan went off so I went looking for him, after finding him I tried to solo and that didnt work out since kiting him to far in any direction caused a reset, so I called upon some guildies and friends druid tank, priest healer, and a boomkin to help me it took us a bit, but we managed to kill him, no achievement or anything but he did drop the Mobus's dripping halberd, a purp cloth chest, and a jewelcrafting pattern. I definitely needed the weapon on my hunter though so I've had a pretty successful night.

Kommentar von SolarCat

>Does he stayed spawned til he is killed or does he disappear ?

Stay.
I see him today on 7-10 server time (EU-Ravenholdt), and no have ppl online to make grp? too late :).
In 13-10 server time Mobus still swim around Trone of Tides entrance. Fast make grp from /2, done.
Drop: polearm, healer off-hand, green JC recipe

Kommentar von 731908

Just killed this guy a few minutes ago with a raid we formed. He appeared last week on the same day but a few hours later.

droped the polearm, dory's finery, and enchant bracers-intellect.

Kommentar von Jollef

Killed him once again 04:10 Dropped the 100% polearm and the tanking shield.

Kommentar von Luuchithefallen

Mobus (12.9m hp) is an Outdoor raid boss circling above Abyssal Breach a little bit above the height of The Shimmering Expanse's ground. He needs a minimum of one tank, one healer and two dps. (Soloable but extremely difficult and takes a long time.)

He has a 100% percent chance to drop a spear unique to him, either Mobus' tropfende Hellebarde or Abscheuliche Hellebarde von Mobus and seems to have a 100% chance to drop any world drop epic, and a JC design.

He has three abilities:

Rammen - A cleave ability that hits for about 70k, he stops in place and it has a cast time so this can be avoided quite easily.

Algen - Spawns a cloud of toxic algae on a random party member dealing 4000-5000 damage every second and slowing movement speed, get out of this (It is the size of a player, you can step out of it in an instant)

Nachstrom - Pushes back everyone within a 25 yd radius in addition to causing 11k damage every 2 seconds. All party members excluding the tank must get out of this to avoid heavy damage.

Strategy: Have a RDPS/Heals stay at the spot where he was first engaged to mark where he won't reset, if you take him too far in ANY direction from the point of engaging he will reset. Stay within 30-40 yds of the RDPS/Heals and Tank him facing the marked player. When he casts Wake the tank should be blasted a bit towards the marked player (Mobus should be far away enough to not hit the marked player with Wake) and get back into position. For Ram and Algae it's as simple as moving out of the way.

Note: This fight is extremely easy and could be THREE manned, this strategy is meant to minimize the chance of an accidental reset.

Spawn Timer: I do not know his exact spawn time, but I DID kill him twice 4 days apart. Both around the same time of night. So that may be his respawn time.

Kommentar von 219980

Soloed with freshly 85-dinged shadow priest (ilvl 327) on Lightbringer-EU. Spawned around 00.10 st today. Few tries first to test kiting range, the kill took long long 41 mins due to low gear. Passing disco joined fight to heal me when boss was already down to 11%, but didn't take dmg after that so his heals weren't needed really. Wasn't perfect kiting, took few 50k hits, lucky that none were crits.

Dropped 243g, the spear, tanking shield and a jc recipe

Anyone attempting to solo this, do not move vertically during the fight, check mini-map when you pull him and don't kite it too far from the point, go around it and keep cool, good luck

Kommentar von 136124

Just 4 manned him with a druid tank, fury warr, enhance shammy and holy priest. We lusted and killed him before our sated c/d was up. Our priest never got below 50% mana so he was never innervated.

We had another guild sitting there with 12ppl waiting for us to die lol...they even tried to taunt off our druid tank.

He dropped Wundverbandshandlappen Mobus' tropfende Hellebarde and Vorlage: Tollkühner Hessonit

Mobus spawn @ nagrand serv at 8pm 12-6-2011, he swam around for 5 Mins as i was trying to form a decent grp, alli was also gathering.
Spammed /ch1 LFM got a grp togther of 4 a DK, palli healz, Boomy, myself DK & shammy. the dk was really gear'd tank but he dun well. Best attempt was our 2nd got to 10%, till 90% of grp died, i was left trying to kite whilst others ran back, But u know pugs No 1 was running back. at 10% i though great we got this. anyways long story short we didnt.
In the mean time alli were gathering in number minority report alli guild had atleast 8-9 of them. anyways gratz them, they tagged & killed.
I though we dun good for 4 threw toghters.
Anyways just a spotters note spawn'd nagrand 8pm.
I was amazed my NPCscan Alerted me from 39:67 were I was farming poseidus along way away. I was a sitting at Quel dorm gardens & NPCscan alerted me from all that way. I shat my pants when it went Off thinking "poseidus alert". But it was only mobus : (

Kommentar von 292779

The key to doing this with the least possible people (we did it with just three), is running out for wake. Once we figured that out, there was no mana issues just healing the tank through ram. I am sure this could be two manned as well, I was gaining mana faster than spending it on an alt healer.

I believe server had Maintenance Tuesday, 10am. Not sure about the time. Npcscan went off while I was making my rounds for Poseidus (which I still haven’t seen). We got the guild together and after a few deaths were able to take it down. The fight has already been posted on here several times so i wont get into it. I've included the rare I found/killed leading up to and after Mobius for anyone who wants the info. All killed today, and times are in PST.

12:07 - Shok'sharak - Usual Spawn Area
12:36 - Fake Camel Figurine - (30, 60)
12:54 - Captain Florence - (55, 73)
15:00 - Mobius - Usual Spawn Area
16:54 - Armagedillo - (44, 42)

Edit-
18:39 - guildie saw a group killing Garr- Usual Spawn Area

I wasn’t too big on the whole restart/spawn time conversations but after today, who knows. Either really lucky day or like others have posted the 72 hours is a good measurement. This was the first week I actually would considered I have been camping the rare spawns. Other than that it was the occasional fly by.

Happy Hunting

I found him the other night (about midnight) on The Maelstrom.
Sadly, I was lagging a lot so I never had the chance to kill him since I dc'ed.
I was trying to tell my guildies but my chat never came up.
:( i was so upset afterwards!

Kommentar von verduran

Just soloed it on my hunter. The fight took a little less than 15min.

The kiting itself is simple, even though it swims faster than you, it keeps stopping and casting so much that it shouldn't be able to catch up on you , just stay at 35-40 yard when it casts wake, move out of algae and move out of its frontal cone when it casts ram,the hard part is not to let it reset.

It will reset when you kited it too far away from the point you aggroed it on, so what I did was follow it around till I can find a mark on the mini map as my anchor (I used the western tip of the maelstrom) and make sure I don't stray too far away from that point.

You'll probably want an addon to track your range (i'm using Range Display) mainly to avoid the ability, but this shouldn't be necessary.

Soloable as a Blood DK very easy to do

Just Keep up the 10% less phys damage buff and Death strike away. Long fight but easy to solo. Move from ram and waves and just keep swimming in circles to avoid the slowing debuff.. and win

No reason to down rate. This boss is soloable as is the Deepholm one

Kommentar von Omnom18

Can be six manned with a hunter, a Warlock, a DPS DK, a DPS warrior, a Pally healer and tank DK. Dropped the DPS plate trousers, a JC design and the spear.

Kommentar von Malyria

Soloed as a Shadowpriest in Firelands gear.
Very easy, you just kite it around in a minor circle so that it doesn't reset. Took a good 50minutes to kill it, but the drops gave me a 14k profit. The only thing that's able to kill you is his cleave, which is rather easy to avoid. I got into melee range and took a few hits here and there, nothing exciting - around 45k.

Just confirmed kill on Mok'Nathal at 02:20 Server time. Confirmed drop on

Formula: Enchant Bracer - Major Strength
Mobus's Dripping Halberd
Ritssyn's Ruminous Drape

Hope this information helps out.

GL to everyone who finds and kills him.

Kommentar von 909729

Killed him on Ravencrest server and been waiting for him. Seems like his spawn timer is longer than 24 hours. If i'm wrong please correct me. been wanting that polearm for my druid

Kommentar von 911366

He spawned 10 minutes after I killed Poseidus, I zoned back into Vash'Jir to farm herbs (again, but found Poseidus the first time and freaked out and whatnot...)

NPC Scan went off immediately as I zoned in and I could just barely see him from the cave with the Earthen Ring Quartermaster.

(This happened on November 6th at 5am realm time.)

He dropped the Halberd, a 359 caster neck BoE and a green gem recipe. :)

We had 4 Hunters, an Arcane Mage (Myself), a balance Druid, a Feral Druid, a Shadow priest and a Fury Warrior. The Hunters took turns kiting it. :)

Sadly... one Hunter won the polearm and sold it on the AH, the Priest got the neck and also sold it and they both said they were going to use it. :/ Not a very happy ending for killing such a magnificent rare.

Edit: Forgot to say, happened on Terokkar EU :)

Kommentar von Darksolder

NPC Scan found him for me right when I logged in. Which would have been fine, except... I was in the Trade District Inn in Stormwind! I could click the NPC scan "found" button and "target" the mob. I had no idea if it was a new rare in SW harbor or something, so I checked up and saw it's a rare in the Abyssal Depths. I went to check it out and sure enough he was there.

I HS'd to type this comment, and i'm still targeting him and can see him currently being attacked, with debuffs, damage done and all....

Kommentar von evlyxx

Weird my NPCScan just triggered from this mob and I was in Stormwind. wtf?

And here is the screenshot

Kommentar von Tegaela

Lol anyone elses NPCscan find him in sw?

Kommentar von 715782

NPCScan picked this up while I was in Stormwind, oddly enough.

Then I flew out to fight him, and I understood why.

Kommentar von Kokiron

As a fun an exciting new feature in 4.3, Mobus seems to be picked up by NPCscan from many parts of southern Eastern Kingdoms, including Stormwind and Blasted Lands.

Kommentar von Arby69

This one has 12.9M life and I was suprised that it is so large, that you can "see" it even from the burning steppes!
In fact, you cannot see him directly, but Rare Scanners like NPCScan can detect him and you are even able to target him and see in your combat log who is currently fighting him while you reside far far away from him.

Kommentar von ZerotZallander

I'm one of the lucky ones killing this Mobus.
Done with a Holy priest. Kitty drood. ye a kitty (me). A Arcane mage. 2 Hunters (not sure of spec).
Earthen Ring.

Loot:
Mobus' tropfende Hellebarde

Kommentar von 917656

NPC scan just picked this guy up in goldshire... What? D:

Kommentar von 883272

For some reason NPC_scan will pick up Mobus when spawned if you're anywhere on the eastern kingdom south west coast, ranging from the cape of stranglehorn up to Stormwind.

Kommentar von Bumfuzz

Just found him in Stormwind apparently

Kommentar von Memphoman

weird happening, just log'd in and standing in SW and got Mobus npcscan alert

Kommentar von RavageDionne

Saw him from Stormwind via NPC Scan ... Was kinda scared to get in the water out of habit. Yeah. Even the pond outside of SW.
A group quickly got together and burnt him down, not sure what they got, but it took them roughly 5-10 minutes.

Kommentar von 922137

On the loot table there is a missing a item called Gilnean Ring of Ruination just for the Devs. Gilnearischer Ring des Ruins

Kommentar von 590670

So, I was flying through EPL and he came up for me as I was going over the river in the south west (NPC_Scan Mod) although I couldn't actually see him, I managed to target him and saw his hit points were a bit above what I would normally solo...

Not sure why he popped up on NPC_scan since I wasn't in a cata area at all, but just an idea for those looking for spawn points I guess :)

Kommentar von JalleFr

My NPC_SCAN just detected Mobus while I was at the Krazzworks, in Twilight Highlands.
I could target him, but I can't see him.
I don't know if I targeted him all the way to Vasj'ir, or if he really spawned at Twilight Highlands.
Never mind, fellow guildies also found him, at Blasted Lands and other places around Eastern.

Kommentar von 899405

My Npc Scan scanned this mob on Dun Murogh... o.O

Kommentar von gigimdv

So why exactly can I find him while in stormwind? Seems a little far away from his actual location.

Kommentar von 928610

OMG...! I've said Mobus in Under City.... LOL

Kommentar von Martika

Continuing in the list of places where NPCScan picks up this mob, I had it go off while I was smack in the middle of Gurubashi Arena!

Kommentar von R3DTID3

Just solo'd as a Blood DK. (Yeah I know they're OP) If you're geared enough his abilities aren't too potent, but still, just move out of Algae and move to his side for Ram. If you go solo expect it to take a loooong time, just stick to it. Dropped 158 gold, Mobus's Dripping Halberd and Don Rodrigo's Fabulous Necklace.

Kommentar von Sukuyannn

The strangest thing happened with this NPC... I was heading to Undercity, and the NPC scan had gone off..I looked around, and it wasn't kited.
Proof is in the pudding: http:// i42.tinypic.com/ 24mztw8.jpg
;~; I cannot find them on my map. I don't know if it's a glitch or what...

Kommentar von halfhuman

Found by _NPCScan after landing to Grom'Gol base camp and even able to target it by raid mark, but can't find it by flying over coast.

Kommentar von NeoJester

Just wanted to add my experience in seeing this guy spawn. I had just used my Die letzte Reliquie von Argus and as soon as I got done loading he popped on my scan. Weird thing was, I had ported to Hearthglen in Western Plaguelands. That is a crazy range for me to see it from I would think.

Kommentar von 812406

My NPCscan just went off when i ported to the dark portal. I was able to target him,he was dead, although i looked for him and he was no where to be seen. Very strange.

Kommentar von gilgrand

just used my hearthstone to dd in stormwind. when i appeared in in npc scan went off.it was him.sure enough he was in vasjir

Kommentar von ManyLith

Today I took the Dark Portal from Orgrimmar and when I zoned in my NPC Scan went off and targeted Mobus. I thought for a second that maybe my Cache folder was bugged or something/ So I decided to go to Vasj'ir to see what was going on and there he was swimming around so I soloed him on my DK. It was actually fairly easy if you avoid the ram by swimming to his side and to avoid the Algae by swimming in a circle around the boss.

So if your NPC Scanner goes off in an odd location, go check for the rare spawn. It might be there.

Kommentar von 909745

targetable from ALL of Eastern Kingdoms. NPC Scanner picked him up while I was checking my bank in Stormwind, hopped over to Horde main and got a bunch of guildies to finish him.

Two wipes later,

Dropped usual halbard, Dory's cape and a formula. Pretty cool fight if you ask me!

Then we tried Whale Shark.

We aren't considering Mobus a World Boss anymore after 1 million hits from Whale Shark.

Kommentar von Yazzi

I was level 41, taking a flight path from Andorhal to the bulwark, and my NPC scan went off alerting me to this rare...In Western Plaguelands. Not only did it go off, but I clicked the 'target' button, and it did. Um...wow? How is this even possible. Is it visible from THAT far away? Lol?

Kommentar von Faunadragon

I was in Westfall leveling my priest and my NPCScan found it and blasted it's siren. It scared the bejeezus outta me! I got on my main to kill Mobus,but he was already dead...I was disappointed but its crazy that NPCScan picked it up all the way in Westfall!

Kommentar von Incarcerated

Just solo'd this for 220g, the halberd and Corefire Legplates as a blood dk. Seems pretty easy now though it took me 10 mins and i had a failed attempt where i took him too far from where the fightstarted and he reset.

Ram: move around to the side
Algae: move out of it asap, try to start moving before it hits you.
Wake: does little damage so keep swimming towards him and hit him for a few free easy hits

Kommentar von StaticLgtBrngr

Probably been said already but if you are in stormwind and he spawns, npcscan will go off (assuming you have it installed anyway) and you will be able to target him.

If you are looking to farm him then I suggest that you complete all of the vash'jir quests or at least the ones up to the point where you enter the cave with the submarine because you will then get saved to that cave and the capital city portal will now teleport you there, and said cave is right next to his spawn location.

Despite being a ? level the only tough thing about him is his health and ram ability, a decently geared tank or combat pet class should be able to take him down solo without much difficulty though it will take a while due to that huge 12 million health.

Watch out for aforementioned ram ability if you are fighting him as it hits all targets in front of him for upto 120k, though this can be avoided by swimming round his side when you see him casting it, it does cast quite quickly though so beware.

Kommentar von Goddessa39

I sign on and I am in the AH in SW in the Dwarven District. For about two seconds I'm all excited until I realise, "Hey, he isn't anywhere near here" and get mad. I love NPC finder. But that is kinda annoying. I am not anywhere near the Abyssal area.

Kommentar von 575992

Anyone had the problem with NPC_Scan that it says that Mobus is in SW?

Kommentar von 911366

Posting again, it seems on Terokkar EU he's the most popular of the World rares, he spawns quite frequently.

Saw him yesterday for about the 7th time. =S

Thing is, my friends and I were in the Swamp of Sorrows going to the Sunken Temple (for Lunar Festival) and one guy said his NPC Scanner went off, he was targetting Mobus.

I did /tar Mobus and indeed I could target him. Is this a bug? We're kinda.. far, yknow? He spawned around 2am realm time.

Kommentar von 941787

I just watched some guild five man him and he also dropped Blockade's Lost Shield, pretty sweet if you don't have Currupted Carapace already.

Kommentar von Thunderbro

NPC Scan picked up this guy from Undercity! Targeting works, too. If you're looking to farm this guy, looks like you only have to be in Eastern Kingdoms to even spot him with NPC Scan.

Edit: Just tried whale sharks, you can target them from UC too. What's up with that?

Kommentar von 942074

I can confirm what Thunderbro said, NPC scan picked this guy up while I was on eastern kingdoms, and was still able to target him where ever I went.

Kommentar von Shippoo

Just killed him on hyjal-US, around 3:05am server time, he dropped the weapon, mail healer legs, and a JC design.

Kommentar von Mormolyce

NPCScan just went off picking this guy up from STV! Wow.

Kommentar von AlexL1118

Can anybody explain me why would I want to kill him nowadays, when iLvl 359 is considered low level?

Kommentar von Hildur

It's fun to have the npc scanner go off in stormwind making everyone go crazy in chat "WHAT IS MOBUS?1!". "LFM Mobus" etc. He is indeed a shark in Vash'jir. If he were walking around in Elwynn forest that would just be silly.

Kommentar von 953403

Well, my NPCscanner went off in Stranglethorn vale.

Kommentar von zoomx19

wierdest thing ever, so im chilling in SW then my NPC scan goes off and says that i found Mobus, wtf really.

Kommentar von 792745

Just had npcscan go off for him in the bank in Ironforge

Kommentar von 958881

I don't know why NPC Scan does goes off in SW or where ever i am but all you have to do is go to the vashir portal and then go to his spawn points and swim around in circles and hes their. i killed him today after a terrible horde pally reset him then his dk friend tried to kill me. But now i have mobus's polearm and Julak-Dooms dagger :)

Kommentar von Kokiron

NPCScan going off for this guy everywhere in Eastern Kingdoms seems to be some kind of bug with whale shark mobs in general, since you can target any of them from anywhere on the continent. You can go to Hyjal or anywhere else in Kalimdor and do /tar whale and pick up the dead whale shark in Thousand Needles, too. This has only been able to be done since 4.3 came out, since I remember trying to target that dead whale shark in Thousand Needles when my friend told me about it and not being able to do it until I was within visual range (which was most of the zone, but not until I got into the zone. You can see it from Gadget, too, but you'd lose your target if you moved too far into Tanaris).

Kommentar von Akaeya

Just a note, it's entirely possible for the tag on Mobus to switch during the fight.

I was in a party on my Alli Hunter that had tagged Mobus after a horde DK who was trying to tank it died (ha), and we got Mobus to about halfway when the tag suddenly switched and Mobus went grey for us. There were a lot of other people around not in our party. It switched back once, but it didn't stay on us. We ended up killing Mobus and getting no loot. -.-

Kommentar von SirenSoliloquy

Just killed Mobus with a friend, it's doable with two dps, I wouldn't be surprised if soloable, had myself kiting in a circle.. Lower ms is nice, considering I got stuck in algae a few times being far out of it.. But yeah, nice challenge to those who want to solo, you can use the same tactic as whale shark. By kiting it, you will be out of range of his wake and ram abilities, I used the wake time to evo (if I got hit) or try get a good combustion off. Best of luck to those who want to solo :)

Kommentar von 785243

Mobus just popped up for me. Only problem is im currently standing inside Lights Hope Chapel. That is just messed up.

Kommentar von 928945

Just killed it a few mins ago, we had a pala tank (me) and a druid healer. Pretty easy to kill him with just the two of us, although it took about 10 mins.

Kommentar von Deathsdefend

I've taken the portal to Blasted Lands and NPC scan found Mobus. He scared the flying hippos outta me!
EDIT: Fixed some spelling.

Kommentar von Mcflurries

My npcscan went off for him while I was camping Poseidus Saturday morning & since it was early enough I decided to attempt to solo him on my feral druid and I got him down in just under 18 minutes, never falling below 50% except for the 2 minutes he was berserked which my cooldowns could easily handle. As long as you sidestep Ram and Algae it should be pretty simple for most feral druids as long as no pesky alliance who just picked up the spawn from Stormwind appear to hassle you...I am on a pvp server but got pretty lucky as the only people who showed were horde there to see me either fail or pwn. He dropped 165g, Mobus's Dripping Halberd, and Dory's Finery. Not so bad for missing a Poseidus spawn to someone camping one of the other spots.

Kommentar von Nethery

My NPCscan poped when I was outside Scarlet Monastery. I also saw dots from other people killing it.

Kommentar von 182693

I just did a /tar mobus while in front of the Dark Portal in the Blasted Lands on the PTR and up pops Mobus! 12883k HP, looking as ugly as ever. Can't seem to FIND him anywhere, but he is definitely my target!

Edit: He is now /tar(getable) from anywhere in the Eastern Kingdoms on the PTR... Just can't get close enough to do anything about it! :)

Kommentar von logan81

they need to make his drop rate alot better, bad enough u have to get a grp to drop him quick, but then he doesnt have any loot. Wasted time

Kommentar von andru360

NPC_scan just went of in Stranglethorn vale i was like waaaaa? then it was Mobus :D

Kommentar von 920857

here's a funny story.... my NPCscan add-on starts beeping in SW, i quickly get a 5 man group together and head to Mobus. i arrive at Mobus and we quickly start attacking him, i notice that his name is surrounded by gray which i know means it's somebody else's loot, i look around me while i heal and can't see anyone but my group so i think it's a glitch. anyway after we down him we see a blood elf pally run out from inside his body where he must have been hiding or something, and i go up too loot it.... i can't the belf took the loot, which means he must have attacked it first? even though we didn't see him! >:(

Kommentar von Kronzlife

WHats up with the glitch, me and a mage (horde) was killing him and 3 alliance joined in later, after he was below half health he glitched and change from a red healthbar to grey and the Alliance creeps stole our kill, Blizzard owes us some damn loot.

Kommentar von calvinattias

I had npcscan go off near poseidus's temple spawn location and i was like wtf so i target him and i forgot to untarget him went all the way in back of nespirah and was still targetting him so something is bugged there lol.

Kommentar von Superchief

Blizzard feeds Mobus defeated MMOs once in a while, that's why he's so big and fat. He's still digesting SWTOR.

Kommentar von 742416

He showed up for me in Swamp of Sorrows.

Kommentar von StaticLgtBrngr

What a pain this guy is to try soloing as a Death Knight tank, when you move out of wake and ram he often fails to reposition properly because of his pathetic hitbox size.

Even with taunting him at the end of each he can reset because he goes mad trying to get back in to position due to it because your bloodworms confuse him, each time he goes for one he will one shot it and his evade will turn on, you can usually salvage it when he does so long as you are in range but every now and then it fails, usually at the most annoying time possible when you have almost got him.

(Note that if he bug evades and someone not in your party turns up and hits him again before you can despite still being in combat you will also lose your tap on him and you will either have to die or kill him for them.)

I always bring help now because of this whenever I fight him and regardless of whether you fancy a solo challenge or a free kill I recommend that you do as well, either way make sure you have some other players in combat with him along with you so he does not constantly bug out and reset, my favorite so far was having 4 others beat him with fishing poles while he layed in to me which seemed fitting but you can be as creative as you like ;)

Kommentar von Hawkyyy

Teleported to blasted lands with Die letzte Reliquie von Argus and NPC scan went off, was rather shocked at first then realised how far away i was from his spawn...

Kommentar von Hrotha

Via _NPC-Scan he was shown dead to me right next to the Darkmoon Portal in Goldshire, when I ported there from Darnassus. I was confused

Kommentar von 766978

My NPCScan scanned him in the DK Starting area and he was targettable...
Logged my feral tank (402 iLvl) and soloed it, just avoid Ram and Algae and you should be fine, if u need, heal yourself during Wave..

Kommentar von 1002243

Killed this sucka today, 3dps tank and healer, did it just as if it was a boss, no kiting necessary, dropped 2 Ilvl 359 items, plate dps neck and the mobus halberd polearm took about maybe 5 minutes.

Kommentar von ciddy1

I can target this guy from Ironforge and actually see entries in my combat log related to a small group of people attacking him. Can't target any of the players involved, but I can see everything they're doing in my combat log as their fight progresses.

While Soloing Molten core on the Drak'thul realm I got rogued by a boss, When I went to get back my corpse it scanned this guy, then I Headed RIGHT over to him, Told my guild about we then we made a party. By the time we got there the Alliance had him to about 3000K, Luckily we were able to steal their kill, Best Rare Kill I ever done!

Kommentar von 831925

Downed him today after NPCscan went off in duskwood and dropped the polearm, dps cloth gloves and a JC plan

Kommentar von bonedriver

For anyone who attempts this, it's easier to get a good group (we converted to a raid) and then downed him with 6 DPS, a tank, and a healer. He circles high above the sea bed, literally just at the surface. Dropped the Polearm, healer gloves, and the enchant bracer - agility recipe.

Kommentar von 999718

Killed Him today after forming a raid group, we downed him but his body instantly despawned after a few seconds and dropped no loot, I'm guessing this is a bug?

Kommentar von Aerozia

My npc scan went off when i was waiting for the elevator in UC. right then my dungeon popped. so i went in, killed the first boss, left(needed some JP) logged over to my hunter main, had my hubby come on his tank dk. we get to mobus, and theres 2-4 other people there, just starting at him, so me and my husband start attacking him, people just watch for a bit, thinking we'd die, we asked for an invite to their group, but they ignored us, so we just puttered along, soon hes near half health and its clear we're not gonna die, so THEY start bombarding us with inv requests. so we ignore them, and continue to kill him, soon their tank starts taunting trying to get Mobus to reset. but we manage to kill him, then the /w of anger began...

dropped the agile meta cut, mories wrap and the harpoon.

the harpoon goes to a guildy who just hit 85, the cut i will sell or exchange for one i dont know, and the back.. well, its bank eye candy til further notice.

Kommentar von chitty042186

Just got the Zeppelin to Tirisfal Glades... NPC_Scan finds this guy? Actually targeting it but cant find it anywhere! Checked waters but nothing! Targets even when I'm totally out of range and moved from where I got him! Weird!

Kommentar von 1016206

Found him when i was ported to twilight highlands by a friend, i clicked on npc scan and couldnt find, so i looked him up, and saw he was in vash'jir. 3manned with my guild drops some pretty cool mail leggins along with the halberd.

Kommentar von Freyfie

Was hanging around MQ in Stormwind just now when npc scan went off. Flew around SW looking for it but nada. Came here, saw where it spawned, read the first comment and rushed off, detrmined to get some old-epic lootz.

Just me (ele shaman) and a prot pally at first and we probably would have died but some other turned up. It's a long fight, as a dps mana user I was oomed by about 40% left but slow and steady wins the race. 5 of us by the end of it.

Dropped the mail BOE kilt for healers and I died inside knowing holy long I ran trash for it in BOT. Ah the memories. And a polearm, and JC recipe. Didn't win anything, no achieve, but felt good nonetheless getting a Screenshot.

Really don't have to worry about his abilities. He evades at times and I thought he was resetting but never fear he was just swimming up or around a bit.

Kommentar von 1010315

I was on my level 35 Hunter, and I had NPCScan and I was in Stranglethorn Vale. Cape of Stranglethorn to be exact. And it said Mobus found! I was like "What?" then i clicked the menu for him. And I was surprised to find out that he was like a baby version of the Whale Shark. Is Abyssal Depths a part of Cape of Stranglethorn or what?

Kommentar von Flae

Same thing, I got an alert from ScanNpc while i was in Stormwind, trade district. I was thinking "Oh well, probably a hunter pet... wait, thats a damned fish... -.- cant have them as pets!".
I came here to see what gives, read that you can detect him even if you're not next to him.
I went to his spawn location and... i found him! Abyssal Breach NW part of it. 17:55 server time (Bladefist EU).
He dead now... 2 pala, 1 druid (tank, dps, healer) killed in about 5 minutes or so.

Kommentar von randomguy43

Successfully soloed him today as a prot paladin in ilvl 387 gear, although he evaded and reset about 5 times before i managed to get him down.

The fight took 40 minutes because i was using seal of insight, several people showed up and watched for a while but i eventually got him down solo.

Kommentar von 1019435

HAHA Npc scan found him for me in UC.....ummmmmm.....kay

Kommentar von whichwitch

Confirmed that as of today, 8/11/2012, you can still ping this guy in the Stormwind Auction House. I almost barfed up my heart because the NPCScan scared the everloving daylights out of me.

Kommentar von 4iamking

Well he was killed by me today (sept 11) at 00:57 am server on US-Zul'jin. This was the first time since 5.0.4 came out that he spawned (thanks to the regular server resets resetting his spawn timer).

Id like to mention since no one else has yet that the patch appears to have reduced his visual targeting range significantly. This means that the days of him setting off every npc scan in eastern kingdoms are over, and people in places like Stormwind will no longer get the message that he spawned.

His scan range is still rather big when compared to other rares. I was able to pick him up for the first time at Poseidus's spawn point by Dimmergleep gorge. however i lost him within about 15 seconds again. I don't know exactly but id guess his scan range is about 1000 yards now, still nothing to be ashamed of lol.

Kommentar von Seahnjin

Yo momma is so fat, npc_scan can pick her up from anywhere in the Eastern Kingdoms

Seriously though when camping Poseidus at Quel'dormir gardens last week-end, I was unable to /target Mobus (though my friend camping at Glimmerdeep Gorge saw it spawn). Rather strange, considering I once could target it from Stormwind.

Kommentar von 1123331

I was actually questing in the Shimmering Expanse when my NPC scan went off. I was away so I didn't actually see it pop. Come to my computer 10 minutes later and say, "Surely someones gotten to him by now." But no one did, so I grabbed my 90 paladin. I was really unsure if I could kill him at first but decided to try it.

My first attempt I got him to half health then he reset for some reason. I thought it was maybe because I swam too far up to dodge his Wake ability. So on my second attempt I swam down to meet him after every Wake. This seemed to work, cause he never reset and I ended up killing him.

If your going to solo, he enrages after maybe 3 minutes or so. If your a class that can heal this shouldn't be a huge problem.

He dropped the Polearm and Je'Tzes glitzernde Tiara

Draudi, Paladin, Earthen Ring

Killed Mobus 3 days on my hunter (solo, since I don't have many friends lol) with Karoma (The Spirit Beast Wolf). I'm typing this up just to inform people that if you want to take down this beat, it's best to do it with a pet type class, or to be very, and I mean VERY well geared, but that's just I have seen. My hunter isn't well geared (Slacked on him for my Mage), but to be honest, so long as you kite him in a circle and keep using you best attacks on him, you should be able to down him in 5-12 mins.

My strategy was hold hold down the Q button and swim as fast as my three toed Troll legs would let me, at times I would have to move out of his AoE attack range (Only got hit twice, but with a Spirit Beast you can heal yourself of a good amount, anyways, after around 6-10 I finally killed him, I was so proud of myself, and very content with the gold, since at the time I was broke lol.

Well, that's really all I have to add to his fun little (HUGE) Cata world boss, have fun out there all you WoW players, and good hunting!

Catch'ya latter!

This post is for those with the phasing issue.

For those with the phasing bug - for some when you swim into "Abyssal Depths" Mobus phases out regardless if you have completed the zone or not - there is a spot in Nightmare Depths (where Wil'hai is trapped) where you can safely pull with a pet pull. Swim out from Wil'hai's ledge (look down and you see a bit of the cliff sticks out into Abyssal Depths, that cliff tip is the target) right before Nightmare Depths switches to Abyssal Depths and wait (after testing this is the only pull place) when Mobus is directly in front of you send in pet to attack and then call the pet back, now swim backwards so everyone is in Nightmare Depths and burn him down. If you leave him in Abyssal Depths and kill him when you swim in to loot the corpse phases out so you want the corpse to be in Nightmare Depths.

Why is that Blizzard insist on making the worlds largest (and completely harmless) fish seem like a dangerous encounter?

Why not a vicious blue whale encounter? ;)

Just found him while being in the questline for restoration shaman artifact weapon. Not sure if that quests phases Vash'jir or not.

As a farmer of gold from the Cata world bosses, here's some information I've gathered from killing all of them in study of who dropped the most gold. I killed each mob 10 times to capture a large collection of numbers:

Julak-Doom: 158g; 230g; 226g; 239g; 185g; 217g; 220g; 151g; 215g; 237g
Xariona: 20g; 24g; 21g; 18g; 16g; 19g; 24g; 15g; 18g; 21g
Akma'hat: 218g; 169g; 169g; 200g; 226g; 163g; 165g; 240g; 154g; 238g
Mobus: 193g; 195g; 220g; 210g; 155g; 215g; 176g; 244g; 242g; 234g
Garr: 383g; 522g; 377g; 400g; 409g; 518g; 529g; 442g; 436g; 497g

In conclusion, Garr consistently dropped the most gold. Mobus offers around the same amount as the rest, save for poor Xariona.

Can you guys who have got the pattern post things like, What level, race , faction, skill level, realm, and was it an alt or a main who did all the killing. Just trying to make a more focused hunt :)

This is not a necessarily informative comment that gives any helpful advice, just an observation I've made that I think is kinda interesting?

Doesn't Mobus seem like the smallest whale shark in the game? Now this could absolutely be a perspective thing, given his location; in a vast expanse of emptiness with nothing really nearby to compare his size to, this is a difficult thing to verify, but I thought this was rather interesting (if true) for a world boss. There's a good deal of them in the game inside and outside of Vashj'ir obviously, and I dunno, he just seems diminutive compared to his buddies. It's the small guys to be afraid of, I'm tellin' ya!
