Also bei mir war das Höllchen einmal um Mitternacht da und dann am nächsten Tag um genau 11:49 - da hab ich es auch bekommen.
War aber jeweils nur ein einziges Exemplar und hatte wohl nichts mit Mob Kills zu tun.

Kommentar von pivi

Gester war der große tag:D
dachte so ochh fliegste mal hin---> 1 mob gekillt da bloppte er vor mir auf!
an alle die farmen gebt nicht auf der nächste kill könnte wertvoll sein
Mfg Pivip (Azhara-horde)

Kommentar von Getigertesbaby

Da ich erfolglos versucht habe den Verseuchten Welpling zu zähmen, las ich die Posts der Englischen Kollegen. Diese rieten einen DK auf dem RP Server Ravenholdt zu erstellen und dort den welpen zähmen da er dort vorhanden ist. Da dieser Rat stimmte versuchte ich auch mit diesem DK Höllchen zu ergattern... 3 Battlepet-kills später... Höllchen spwant! Und ist jetzt meines! :)

Hier der Trick von MyxomatosisFM auf Deutsch (s. englische Kommentare).

Es gibt genügend Höllchen wenn man von einer anderen CrossReal Zone zu einem Flugpunkt im Teufelswald fliegt. MyxomatosisFM empfiehlt von Nordrassil, aber als Allianzer geht es leichter/schneller.

Fliegt zur Dunkelküste zum Flugpunkt "Der Hain der Uralten". Von da nehmt einen Flug zur "Nachtlaubsiedlung" im Teufelswald. Diese Route führt euch direkt über den Narbengrund wo Höllchen spawnt.

Macht ein zuvor ein Makro:
/cleartarget
/tar Höllchen

Dann müsst ihr in der Tastaturbelegung den Befehl "Mit Ziel interagieren" auf eine beliebige Taste legen, die ihr leicht spammen könnt.

Während des Überfluges drückt ihr das Makro, bis ein Höllchen im Target ist, dann spammt die Taste auf den ihr den "Mit Ziel interagieren" gelegt habt. Mit etwas Glück beginnt der Petbattle.

Der Gildenbonus "In Windeseile" ist hier übrigens kontraproduktiv, weil ihr zu schnell auf dem Greif fliegt. Nehmt einen gildenlosen Char oder geht kurz aus der Gilde. Es hilft auch wenn man sich auf der Minimap das Ziel anzeigen lässt.

Ich habe mit der Flugroute und ohne(!) den Gildenbonus Höllchen beim ersten Mal bekommen :D

Kommentar von Lebiki

Das ganze hat sich für mich als echte Herausforderung dargestellt. Ich hatte alles versucht - campen, immer wieder mal einsteigen, auf meinem Server CRZ probieren - ich hab nie auch nur ein einziges Höllchen GESEHEN! Ich bin dafür sogar immer wieder raus und rein aus der Gilde, damit ich langsamer war beim Fliegen. Mit Nordrassil hatte ich kein Glück, auch mit Astranaar oder Hain der Uralten nicht.

Vor ein paar Tagen hab ich mir dann einen Horde-DK auf einem anderen Server (der gerade mit "neue Spieler" bezeichnet war) angelegt und bis Stufe 58 gelevelt - also grad' mal raus aus dem Startgebiet. So hatte ich auch genug Gold für die Flüge.

Dann von OG nach Wisperwind - kein Höllchen in Sicht. Nach Splitterholzposten (ist eine andere CRZ als OG!) und zurück - kein Höllchen. Dann ein paar Mal hin und her, jedes Mal ca 7min30 und 40 Silber. Irgendwann hab ich dann endlich ein Höllchen gesehen! Aber nicht erwischt (makro+ interact aktiv), ich war immer zu weit weg. Dann hab ich mal mit einem anderen Pet (besudelte Ratte) ausprobiert, ob die Sache an sich überhaupt funktionieren kann; es hat geklappt, daher auf ein neues!

2x hab ich eines erwischt und bin beim Eintritt in den Kampf rausgeflogen - ich hatte, glaub ich, zu schnell die "interact" Taste gedrückt, und beim 2.Mal draufhauen bin ich ausgestiegen! Also wieder hin und her...
Nachdem ich fast 10 Gold fürs Fliegen ausgegeben hatte, war's dann endlich so weit! ich hab mein (grünes) Höllchen erwischt....

Ich wünsch' Euch alles viel Erfolg und vor allem Geduld - aber mit der Flug/CRZ-Methode klappt es tatsächlich irgendwann!

Lebiki, die Glückliche

Kommentar von 1117519

also ich hab gerade ( es ist dienstag 22:30 ) mein höllchen gefangen.. leider nur in grün...

ich wollte hier schnell meine erfahrung reinschreiben

höllchen hab ich bekommen indem ich einige haustiere vorher im kampf dort besiegt habe und danach eins von den großen höllenbestien getötet hab...

also ich kann mich nur anschließen... besiegt ein paar haustiere.. fliegt nach jedem kampf hin und killt einen mob und so lange bis es klappt.. das mit dem farmen kann also nicht ganz verkehrt sein allerdings würd ich auch nicht davon ausgehen ( aus eigener erfahrung ) das mob campen alleine reicht

Kommentar von 1142807

Ich hab mein Höllchen heute um 02:33 bekommen... bin einfach eingeloggt und zack da war's direkt neben mir!
Ich habe zuvor auch ewig lange alle möglichen "Tricks" ausprobiert, hat bei mir aber gar nix gebracht. Außerdem waren jedes Mal min. 3-4 andere da am campen. Dieses Mal hatte ich Glück und war die einzige... mein Rat wäre daher einfach mal wenn möglich zu ner "ruhigen" Zeit einloggen, wenn nicht viel los ist.
Viel Glück!

Kommentar von 903498

Heute um 17:40 auf Area-52 habe ich Höllchen in meine Sammlung mit aufnehmen können.
Ich hab dafür andere PetBattle in der Umgebung getötet und bin dann zum Höllchen Spawnpunkt zurück geflogen. Dort kriechten noch einige PetBattle Ratten rum die ich auch getötet hatte und auf einmal war Höllchen vor mir.
Ich hab keine Monster getötet oder ewig lang gewartet.

Viel Erfolg

Kommentar von Zeronas87

Also ich hatte rund um denn Platz haustierkämpfe gemacht, und nach jedem Kampf kurz über das Gebiet geflogen. Zwischendurch die Höllenbestien gelegt. Und nach ca 4-5 Haustierkämpfen stand er Mittendrin aber dort gespawnt wo eigentlich keine Höllenbestien stehen. Egal, hauptsache ich hab ihn. Auch wenn er grau ist.

Für alle anderen, viel Erfolg und viel Geduld.

Kommentar von silverchair

Ich habe Höllchen nach 1 Std. bekommen. Man muß viele von diesen Bestien umhauen, und dann erscheint der kleine. Viel Spaß Euch beim Farmen.

Kommentar von 1137721

nach sehr langem farmen nach Höllchen, und zwieschenzeitlicher Aufgabe, habe ich das i-net etwas durchstöbert nach Tips, und bin erfolgreich fündig geworden!
Ich habe auf einem Spanischen PVE Server einen Todesritter erstellt, den in 1,5h aus dem Anfangsgebiet raus geholt, und im Teufelswald geparkt!
Einen Tag später eingelockt, und sofort ein seltenes Exemplar ergattern dürfen!
War auch kein anderer Spieler in Sicht!
Hoffe ihr habt erfolg mit dem Tip!

Kommentar von Vanessa1504

Ich bin gerade einfach mal so zum gefühlten 100 mal in den Teufelswald geflogen um zu schauen ob es ein Höllchen gibt. Es ist ungefähr 02:30 Uhr gewesen und es hat geregnet, Ich weiß nicht ob das der ausschlaggebende Punkt war aber es gab Höllchen im Übermaß und ich habe mir mein seltenes fangen können. Ich würde euch raten gerade bei so seltenen Pets einen Charakter den ihr gerade nicht spielt an den Ort zu stellen und immer mal wieder umzuloggen um zu gucken ob ihr nun Glück habt. Behaltet die Ruhe ich habe auch lange gebraucht viel Glück beim fangen.

Kommentar von Puapurin

Bin in das Gebiet für ne Besudelte Ratte, hab durch Zufall von Höllchen erfahren und bin einfach mal hingeflogen. Waren auf anhieb 2 da, davon eines auf Selten. 22:25 fals es jemanden interessiert.

Found several in Fel Wood tonight at the Shatter Scar Vale. There was always one for me to try to tame so I'd say they are very common spawn. Be warned though, they hit pretty hard and you'll have to skim some HP off of them to have a good chance of catching one. They're a magic pet so bring some dragon based pets for damaging them or critters to stop their damage.

Edit: Well as of this build I've gotten 12+ Minfernals down under 70 HP including three at 1-3 HP and haven't been able to tame one. Not sure if they're just bugged right now or what the deal is.

Kommentar von Seberus

I found several spawns, a few in the northern region, and several in the middle.
Unfortanetly, as of now, they are bugged. If you battle with a Minfernal, the Exp he gains at the end of the combat does not add up, but replace itself.
If you fight, and gain 160XP on the first combat, and 80XP on the second combat, you will have 80XP instead of 240XP.
Pity, since it is at the moment one of the few wild pets with attacks implemented.

Kommentar von Karthios

Tried to find one for almost an hour tonight and no luck. If they are still in the current build then I just have bad luck.

Kommentar von zeterai

Flew through to Whisperwind Grove from Orgrimmar and spotted quite a few of them on the ground around the Vale. All of them disappeared when I got back though, with nobody else in the area to have caught or killed them, leading me to assume that phasing is screwing up spotting them.

~~Hm. Further information leads me to think killing the infernals will force the minfernals to spawn if you do it long enough. I'll have to test it shortly.~~

I've cut through twenty respawns of the area's Infernals or more, and still no mini ones spawning. Think that idea's proven wrong.

Kommentar von rcknrll

Farmed yesterday 3.00 am to 5.15 am at Shatter Scar Vale in Felwood, but nothing. Lots of Tainted rats and toads,but no Minfernals.
Waited till server and CRZ restart.After restart i logged in,and baam!
There were 5 or 6 of them at Shatter Scar Vale.
Captured 3 of them,just in case..

Kommentar von slimper

Any info about this pet?
I cant find him 2 day already.
Find strange bug with NPCscan - if u add this pet id 62317 to find list addon be alarm right in login game, in anything location (after clear cache its repeat), looks like something change in caching system for battle pet.

Kommentar von 1013197

the tooltip from pet journal states for the Minfernal the following: "This ill-tempered constructs of flame and rage sometimes rise from the remains of larger infernals who fall in battle." - this leads me to think that there's a possibility that they have a chance to spawn when we kill an infernal from Shatter Scar Vale. Can anyone confirm this?

Kommentar von slimper

I get one, 15 min ago! Post Screen Shot.
18:06 Server Time, Server: Galakrond (RU), only 1 be in location, green quality, 14 lvl.
Farm in other server (Azuregos) 2 day without luck, in this server only 2 checks by 5 min and get it.
Goo Luck all.
P.S. Not one big infernal killed.

Kommentar von 733071

I spent far too much time post-Pandaria trying to locate one of these little guys, and was able to find scant information on the web about their spawning habits. I hope this post will help out anyone else in the same situation as me.

Minfernals appear to be on a rare spawn timer, spawning either singly or as a group. This timer is unconnected to the spawn timer of other Infernal rares, and it is not affected by killing/farming regular Infernal Sentries or other mobs.

I have observed this spawning cycle twice now in the Shattered Scar Vale. I found posts by several beta testers claiming that Minfernals appeared in the Irontree Woods as well, but I have never seen one there, and they have NOT spawned there concurrent with the Shattered Scar spawns.

I believe the reason it's so hard to find one is because after they spawn, just one or two pet collectors can easily burn through all the little guys trying to find a Rare for their collection. If you're not there soon after they spawn, they're going to get farmed off before you show up.

Keep in mind that I believe this information to be accurate (as of live play 5.0.5), but my observation time has been limited and I may be off with my conclusions. As with everything else on wowhead, look at the aggregate of information before acting. I'm not claiming to be an authority, I'm just trying to help out other players scratching their heads like I was. Cross-realm nonsense may also be playing havoc with your realm's spawning/farming cycle (or mine).

Kommentar von 1038473

Ok so after several hours of sitting around at the camp in felwood I decided to try something different. I started to kill everything that moved in the camp, after about a hour, to my surprise a Minfernal spawned at one of the entropic horror spawn points, and started walking the same path that the horror did.
Currently I am working on testing the theory that they are on the same spawn cycle as the mobs in the area, and would like some help. If you kill every mob in the area, and get a Minfernal to pop instead of one of the trash mobs, post it. I think this may be the way to get them to spawn outside of a server reset.

Kommentar von 1037343

Finally got one of these a moment ago. Roughly 8:40 pm server time.

Spent 45 minutes running around killing everything in the Shatter Scar Vale along with another person who appeared to be looking for the same thing. No spawns. The other guy gave up after about 15 minutes, and I finally gave up about 45 minutes later and left myself flying in the center of the Vale while I did dishes. Came back about 45 minutes later and a single Minfernal had spawned. Definitely no one else out here killing things at the time, so I do not believe that has any effect on the spawn rate. Weird that it appeared when it did too. Definitely wasn't there at 8:30.

Kommentar von Kalnazzar

Just spotted one of these little guys. Only one spawned it was weird and my heart jumped till i noticed it was a poor quality pet :(

Time - 4.40 PM
Realm - Korgath
Quality - Poor
Coordinates - 45,42
level - 14

(Edit - I just logged in and there were at least 7 spawning. I,ll check it out the same time again tomorrow if they are out ill post the time)
(Edit - Pet Info - I got to battle 4 Minfernals out of the 7 all were poor quality and level 14 so a rare is pretty hard to find so far)

Kommentar von ScumHellfire

A tip for people trying to get this, use your Real ID buddies to check different realms. Ask them for an invite (you must be lower or equal level to them) and check if there's any Minfernal's if not, move on to the next realm.

Ended up finding a realm with 12 (!) spawns in it. Battled 7 until I got a rare, left the rest behind for other people.

Kommentar von Mirai

I found about 15 roaming around after server maintenance.

4 of them were rare, so I was maybe just lucky or they are commonly of higher quality.

Best farm after server restart.

Minfernal is a lvl 14 Wild Battle Pet

Kommentar von 190096

I have managed to collect several minfernals. I quickly dispose of the poor and common variety. I have to suggest that the easiest most simple way to obtain a minfernal is to log in right after servers restart. They have always been present for me. If like me you are still pursuing a rare minfernal you can quickly flee battles that you know are poor or uncommon.

Poor- 550hp +/- 10
Common - 600hp +/- 25
Uncommon- 650hp +/- 25
Rare- will update when i see one

I have noticed that the northernmost tree (which appear as stained blotches on your minimap) in the vale contains a little minfernal inside everytime. Simply /target minfernal when you are near and run around the tree spamming your 'Interact with Target' keybind.

Kommentar von FlayOnDarkIron

Are you one of those people who like CRZs? Trying getting this guy; you'll change your opinion of the feature fairly quickly.

Kommentar von Gomper

This is a sad sad story and a "keep in mind" for everyone who wants this pet.
I had been looking for this guy and the Scourged Whelpling from Icecrown on 2 different chars for about 5 hours straight. Right before I was going to bed this guy spawned!
I was so happy and engaged battle with him.. I used a Emerald Whelpling in the battle.
First hit I did about 30% damage, he made a hit on me, I needed to hit him once more to get hes health low enough to throw the trap. Then my stupid whelpling landed a critical hit and the minfernal died :(

Kommentar von eDGe87

Maybe a certain amount of Infernal Sentrys has to be killed in order for them to spawn?

If you check it in the pet journal there's sort of a tooltip saying:

"These ill-tempered constructs of flame and rage sometimes rise from the remains of larger infernals who fall in battle."

I have been killing Infernal Sentrys in the zone for about 10 minutes, and they just keep respawning. As soon as I kill one, another one respawns, so maybe that strengthens this theory? I had no idea myself, because I'm lacking knowledge of blizzards intended spawn mechanics, but I've never seen a camp of mobs not being able to run out before.

I will update if something positive happens.

Edit: giving up. killed well over 300, but no pets spawned. Add a reply here if you are trying this and they do spawn. In that case, I will go back and try again myself.

Edit: Went back, and to my surprise there was ONE minfernal there. To my further surprise i managed to capture a rare version on the first and single try, lucky me :)

Kommentar von Groovin

About 12 hours ago, I had so far only spotting of ONE of these. It was marked on the minimap, but damned if I could see it. The location was north and up-slope of the northernmost pit. Turned out that our minfernal was INSIDE the huge tree there! Hadn't seen one before, nor any since. Most annoying. Bugged?

Kommentar von darkman255

i have seen this pet 2 times it spawns only in the Shattered Scar and maybe will take a couple hour for find them but u can find not that hard only seen 1 of time so be sure get it first

Kommentar von 1042157

Finally found my minfernal in the middle of the 3 craters....

Took me about 4 hours of waiting untill it finally appeared. Some guys flew over but didn't see it i think and after that it turned out to be a Rare :D !

First time and a rare i was SO happy to finally get it.....

Anyways to help you guys: it was betweem 23.30 and 23.45 that it spawned and only 1 spawned at that time.
Take some time to swap between pet-battling the surrounding pets ( to lvl your own ) and look for this rare spawn....

I got my rare-rare minfernal now so i wish you guys to find it aswell..

good luck and cya later guys :)

Kommentar von 106802

Got one rare these days, after fighting 4 of them.

There is a very easy way to find it: Just wait for realm restarts, or even maintenance tuesdays. Then you gotta log back, and you'll find plenty around in Shatter Scar Vale. Just do it ASAP, as soon as the realm is back online, or someone else will do it before you.

BTW his respawn timers are crazy, after 7 hours searching around I couldn't find one, so I don't recommend wasting time on it. Only through the method above I had any success.

Kommentar von 1036751

Looked several times today and haven't seen any. There was me thinking giraffe calf was a pain in the arse.

This is why I hate the new Xrealm zone thing they added.

I used to be great to be able to go looking for something at 3am realm time and actually FIND it with nobody else around.
Now you get there and oh, look! It's Bob from Wildhammer and Jim from Saurfang and &*!@ing everyone else from every other realm.

Now every time is peak time. Hawesome!

Kommentar von darkman255

if some one read this i can tell they never spawn many that is a lie they have acouple hours respawn time betwen i have notice how many but they are rare and they never spawn in a crate never only infront or betwen other only in the scare vial i give that as tips i have seen them 3 times only capture 2 i promise they only spawn in scare vial and not in crate.

Kommentar von 1043973

Is there possibly another battle pet like the Minfernal as far as model wise?

Kommentar von 375303

The soft server reset @ 6am doesn't seem to work anymore as I sat here through 4 hours worth of resets for every time zone in the continental US and none appeared.

New pet rarity upgrade stones have been announced for the next patch, I would not bother farming for rares on these guys and leave some for other people who don't have any.(##RESPBREAK##)12##DELIM##Sas148##DELIM##

Kommentar von 1045213

Like others have said, best bet is to camp a character and log in after tuesdays shutdown, or, as in my case, after a server reset, since they are happening about 4 times a week these days, it's a good chance to try for one. With the cross realms situation, you might only get one shot at one, so might as well catch it. I felt humbled that the only one I faught was a rare.

just caught one, it was the only one out there all around no others spawned realm TFC, it was uncommon just logged out and came back after about a hour it was there.

Kommentar von weibe23

there was a hotfix deployed on 0ct 12, to supposedly fix the issues with this pet

pet is still not there

Kommentar von Hashupa

After finally getting one for myself, I thought I'd share a few things I observed while camping for this thing.

First off, it took me well over two weeks to get this thing. I DO NOT suggest sitting and camping for this. You might get slightly lucky and only have to wait a couple of hours, but on my first attempt, I had to wait for over 13 hours and then didn't even end up getting the single one that spawned. ( I have observed that only one will spawn when the timer is up. )

People say more than one will spawn after a restart. This may be true, but I don't suggest waiting for a restart to nab one. Due to invasive CRZ, unless your specific realm is the first to come back up in your CRZ group, you won't get one. In the few short minutes it takes for your realm to come up, the others have already been up and filled with people doing exactly what you are trying to do.

My suggestion is to take this camp very lightly. Check every now and then, don't sit there and waste time waiting on one. It will save you a lot of sanity.

And finally, if you happen to see more than one up... Take your pick and PLEASE catch only one. In 5.1, it appears there will be a way to upgrade pets to the highest battle grade, so catching more than one is only ruining someone else's chance of getting this pet.

For the actual pet itself, it is slightly taller than a gnome. So it really stands out. When clicked, it makes a low growling/rumbling noise.. A noise you might expect to come from an infernal. However, if clicked repeatedly, it will make the chirping noise that most squirrel pets make. Very strange!

EDIT: 5.1 is here and the battle stones did make it in. While they are rare, they will upgrade your pets to rare quality and increase their stats to match their new found blueness. All the more reason to find it in your heart to catch one and be done!

Kommentar von 1046597

My experience in hunting many rarely spawning pets is that, like fishing nodes, a zone will only have so many battle pets spawned at a time. New spawns only occur once old ones have begun to be cleared out. Waiting hours and hours is the result of no one clearing the other pets in the zone, which means until someone does that, you simply will not have a chance of a new spawn occurring.

This applies to Minfernals, Scorplings, Molten Hatchlings, Giraffe Calfs, and a number of others. It does not apply to weather-dependent pets, and a handful of other rares, like the Flayer Younglings.

I applied what I had observed to Minfernal hunting; no spawns were there when I visited. I went on a battle pet killing spree (simply killing them, not battle pet fighting), and within 30 minutes I had two minfernals spawn (that I know of), one of which I captured. Note that the battle pets do not necessarily need to be in the vicinity of the minfernal spawn area, simply in the zone itself.

I am guessing that when the zone needs to spawn a new battle pet after the defeat / death of an existing one, a RNG determines where and what pet will spawn. So you might get 95% common pets spawning (rats, bats, whatever), with a small chance of the rare pet you are after. This is similar to the methodology used for fishing pools, where new pools only appear once old ones are fished out, and the type and location of the pools is random throughout the zone in question.

Please note that any use of the term 'rare' and 'common' in this post refers only to their frequency of appearance in the game world, not their quality as a battle pet.

Kommentar von 223389

The area is heavily camped on both PVP and PVE realms.

Kommentar von 130234

Something to keep in mind for those still hunting for a rare. If you engage in pet battle with a wild pet and find through an addon or stats that the Minfernal isn't a rare do not concede the fight, conceding will cause the pet to despawn. Instead what you can do to leave the pet intact for others to fight is to logout mid-fight, logging out causes the pet to still be there for others!

Kommentar von elixis

i got a green after a restart, and then after Tuesdays maintenance I went on the first server of mine that came up, and I got a rare! There was no one there (Ravenholdt) but when I logged onto Ysera there was a dozen people. Like one guy said, if you have toons on different servers, try the lower pop server cuz chances are the CRZ for that one is better since they group them up by type. RP servers have always been lower pop so if you have any on RP, use that sever to farm them..

Kommentar von Feliciamarie

Damn you Tainted Rat that makes my heart jump when I see you >.<

Kommentar von 519868

The best advice I can offer is don't drive yourself nuts camping this. If you have one available, keep an alt out there and log in occasionally and do a quick sweep of the area. After a couple days of sporadic searching, I found this pet (thought it was a rat at first.)

Kommentar von regards

This pet is impossible to farm on a PVP server. Don't even try if there are any of the opposite faction in the area. Regardless of their level or how long you have been there, they can (and likely will) take you out of your pet battle, and you will lose your pet. Just roll a death knight on a PVE server and take them straight to Felwood once you finish the starter quests.

Kommentar von Odaxis

I am sure the lack of Minfernals is a CRZ bug.

I take a flight path from Orgrimmar to Whisperwind Grove in felwood. As I approach for landing in the grove (at this point i am still on my realm of Thrall) I see many Minfernal's. When i land and phase (into whatever server im phasing into) and go to the minfernals location they are no where to be found.

Please fix this Blizzard

Kommentar von mizz

My suggestion is to check out the Well of Eternity realm, get a friend or someone willing to help you cross over! The server is the lowest-populated PvE-Europe server (according to WOW census) and it doesn't seem to have CRZ enabled.

It may be just pure luck and coincidence, but I've managed to catch both a Scourged Whelpling and a Minfernal, whitin 5 mins one from another. All the people I've met camping the rares (Felwood and Tanaris mostly, since I was alone in Sindragosa's Fail) were from the Well of Eternity server, no cross-realmers at all. As I've said, it may just be pure luck, but it worths trying.

On a side note, Italians usually have lunch break at around 13-15:00, don't bother logging at that time =)

Kommentar von 981848

I've been looking for some time too. So far i could fight 2 of them. Captured one:

Uncommon:
940 life(after capturing, before he had a little less i think)
134 Power(before and after)
134Speed(before and after)

So, if anyone see a rare one, please share their stats.

Kommentar von rhinoloupe

Sadly this trick has been 'fixed'. It no longer works :(

Please be considerate of others if you're hunting for a rare version.

If you do engage with one, and find out he's not a rare, log out or Alt+F4 out of the battle.

Doing this, the pet will not despawn, allowing another person to tame him. Since a lot of people are just struggling to find *any* Minfernal, I'm sure there'll be a few appreciative people out there.

This will also help you in the long run, since you'll end up with less competition on spawns.

Kommentar von AzerateAeriePeak

The hardest pet to catch so far. Prepare for some heavy camping

Kommentar von Nimel

After 10 days of heavy camping Shatter Scale Vale, I want to share my info. Captured one Minfernal (poor quality) at 46.41 on Friday at 1:20 pm. I tried for days to clear all pets in the zone, I tried to clear all infernals npcs in the zone, no results. I left my alt in Felwood for days, then one lucky day it was there, roaming around. I did nothing at all. Click, captured first try with strong trap.

SO:
IT IS NOT RELATED TO KILLING INFERNALS or MOBS.
IT IS JUST REALLY REALLY RARE SPAWN WITH LONG RESPAWN TIMER.
IF YOU PICK ONE, THANK THE GODS AND LET OTHERS GET THEIRS!

Kommentar von ZeroEdgeir

Remember guys: Any rarity works fine. Once the new patch comes up, just upgrade it to Rare with a Magic-Family Battle-Stone. BAM, Rare Minfernal. That way we can all get our little pile of rage-induced flames.

Kommentar von Equeon

Found a Common one after logging in/out for a few hours on a DK alt, just after another camper flew away. Patience is key! Don't be the person who missed out on this neat pet because you gave up one minute too early!

Kommentar von LadySuncrusher

unfortunately for many of us unselfish players out there the majority of the community are unlike us and we r wasting our time trying to ask them to leave the spawns alone if they have already caught one and it will always be frustrating when such player comes along and only searches for the rare with the damn add on, i for one am extremely excited about the possibilty of picking and choosing which of my cuties i wish to upgrade with the upcoming new stones, its already taken all the frustration off of my mind, leaving me to concentrate on finishing my achievements sooner than those camping the rares and leaving the possiblity open for someone to catch a rare and make them smile

Kommentar von solieus

If rare battle pets seem like the thing of dreams, like for me, try this:

1) Wait for a realm maintenance. Rolling restarts work too, and are easier to use since they're quicker.
2) Have 2-3 chars on different realms camping some spawn spots. Having them on low-pop realms helps a lot.
3) Wait for realms to start going down or up, then pick a character in a realm that is online. You will know you're good when you get a yellow error message in your chat log saying that your cross-realm zone is offline (sorry, don't have exact quote)
4) Huzzah! You are now in your *own* realm's zone without any pesky neighbouring realms to bug you! Go get those rares!

Your window of opportunity is usually 3-5 minutes or so, but I managed to catch the Minfernal and Flayer Youngling in the same restart session. If you can get online at the right time, this method is foolproof as long as the realm you're using is not too busy on its own.

You can even "scout ahead" by using flight points in the zone, since flight points don't count as cross-realm until you land.

Kommentar von Zivy

From my *OWN* personal experience: November 1, 2012, 12:27 pm realm time Suramar. No Minfernals to be seen. Did 2 rounds of killing the Infernal Sentry's, within 2 minutes one spawned & it must be my lucky day, this one spawn was a rare.! Good luck!

Kommentar von 1Palv

I had my husband fly around Felwood and kill pets while I searched the Shatter Scar Vale for the Minfernal. While flying around, I saw the rare spawn infernal, Immolatus. I killed and looted it, and before the loot window even closed, a Minfernal spawned in the corpse. Unfortunately, it was only uncommon.

So, it seems that a combination of killing off pets in the zone and killing infernals can get one to spawn.

Kommentar von Knightyme

My observations:

1: If you taxi in from *outside* the zone and fly over you will often see 2,3 even 4 minfernals. Upon landing though you will be 'synced' to the cross realm zone, and all those minfernals you just saw will no linger be available.

2: I have done a /who and found I am the only person in the zone. Just that I am looking at another person in the zone of the same faction, but different server. So /who only looks at who else in in the zone from your server, not from other servers in the cross realm. So while Blizz says you are the only person, there can be a dozzen others from other servers, and unless you see them direct, you wont know how many are also trying for the minfernal.

3. I (Medivh server) literally watched an opposing faction (Malfurion server), fly to the ground, stop moving for a minute and then see his new pet minfernal as he put it into one of the 3 battle slots. I didn't see the minfernal at all before he went down, either on the minimap or on the ground and I was just hovering there looking. Conclusion, I did not see it because I was not on the Malfurion server, or so it seems. I logged onto Malfurion, made a horde toon and had a chat with the person, so I know he had only just caught it.

Not only is this a fairly rare spawn, there are multiple servers all in the same area, and only some of those servers can see the spawns at any given time, or so it seems. I have seen that there uis at least 4 servers per Xrealm, if this is true then the Minfernal population is effectively 25% of normal, add on that some cant see a given spawned minfernal, and that adds up to significant frustrations. Then there are the players that will effectively kill all non-rare because it is not what they are wanting.

*sigh*

Kommentar von Tamashi

"These ill-tempered constructs of flame and rage sometimes rise from the remains of larger infernals who fall in battle."

I can confirm this. After clearing all infernals, a battle pet sometimes spawned. I've gotten 6 to spawn after a lot of grinding. Too bad they were all of poor quality. So yeah, they do spawn by killing the big infernals, but the chance is rather low.

You can add his ID to NPCScan (62317) but if you already have one summoned or any other player summons him you'll get false positives.

Was down on my luck on my main - logged onto an alt on a lower pop server, turns out there had just been a restart and several of these guys were up. Good luck!

Kommentar von 341848

Pets in Felwood are in the 13-15 level range. If you're going to start your search for him, make sure you have pets in that range. Hate to locate the super rare and have him wipe out your team because your pets weren't strong enough.

Kommentar von DizzyB

It appears that minfernals dislike water a lot. I was swimming with mine out and he made angry sounding, burning noises every time I stopped and he treaded water. This seems to be much in the style of other pets like Withers.

Kommentar von 1043922

Can't believe my luck - after looking for this guy every day (multiple times a day) for over a month and never even SEEING one, today I was doing my nightly cruise by and saw one! Swooped down and it was a rare! I captured it and am super relieved I never have to go back and try again.

Not sure what was different about today - there were two people camping out, looked like one might have been running around and killing Infernals, but I'm not sure. Found it at 45, 38. Good luck!

Kommentar von 526868

The best time to do this, to me, is right after a server reset. I never spent much time camping the area. I noticed that the server was down; I waited for it to reboot and logged on and flew over there and grabbed me 2 rares in about 10 mins. I did the same thing with the Spawn of Onyxia.

Kommentar von Tiberiusxix

I finally got mine (uncommon) today after a server restart.

I made a video of it and posted it on youtube.

Observing if Minfernal respawn is affected by zone battle-pet eradication

Realm: Anub'Aarak (Population - Low)
Time of initial capture: 12:25
Test duration: 70 min

Prologue: After locating a poor quality Höllchen and allowing someone that needed the capture to obtain it (via log-out), we both decided to partner up and test if killing battle pets in the zone caused a Minfernal to spawn. It was a very quiet night, even for the population our realm shares with CRZ. With the exception of a leveling character, we were alone.

Method: I patrolled the general Shatter Scar Vale, killing any battle pet in the proximal area while my grouped partner patrolled the Felwood zone, eliminating any eligible battle pets he found.

Note - battle pets were killed by user, not from engaging in a pet battle.
Kills not counted.

Results: As my partner and I killed battle pets in the zone, I observed that it hastened the spawn of Besudelte Ratte in the Shatter Scar Vale. I recall moments when I would see two to three consecutive rats spawn in the area. This trend continued as large quantities of battle pets (aprox 20+) were killed in the zone. After 70 mins of testing, and around 27 Minfernal-area spawned rats, we found zero Minfernal spawns itself.

Conclusions: I do think the spawn rate of Shatter Scar Vale (and perhaps other area spawns alike) battle pets is correlated to the overall refreshing of the zone population. While rats and the minfernal seem to share similar spawns, it would be PLAUSIBLE if not COINCIDENTAL that this method produces faster Minfernal spawns. Even though I did not record time stamps of when rats spawned in the area vs the amount of pets killed in the zone, I still think an hour of pet killing is sufficient evidence that RNG plays a major role in dictating the pet that spawns in the SSV.

If I ever care to, I may do a recorded test with spawn timestamps and pet kill counts, but for now I will just put up with my common quality Minfernal.

Hope this provides some insight to the matter.

Kommentar von sarsorama

Found mine today around 6am. Flew around Shattered Scar Vale for a bit and was beginning to get discouraged because of all the others that seemed to be hovering and waiting for the same thing. I got bored so I started running around and killing everything in sight, critters included. Did this for about 15 minutes and low and behold, I look at my minimap and the little guy spawned right near me (didn't look at coords, but he was northwest, near the road). Poor quality, but one step closer to the achievement :)

Makes me think that killing either the sentries and whatnot or critters forces him to spawn? Or maybe I just got lucky... Either way, happy hunting!

Edit: Added location info. *Also found another right as I was about to edit this post, also poor quality.

Kommentar von khblock

As an avid pet collector and a hunter, I am no stranger to farming for rare pets. However, this CRZ business really concerns me. After farming a few hours; I began recording the different realms represented -- count before I got a poor quality one, 28. Yep, you read correctly, 28 realms in less than one day! I realize, this is not the forum to rant on the short sightedness of developers, but I do feel it necessary to let fellow pet collectors understand what they are up against.

Additionally, this is a quest area for lower levels. Be considerate to those leveling and do not kill everything in sight in an attempt to make minfernal pets spawn. Quest items re-spawn quickly; these pets do not. Logic dictates -- killing everything will not make them spawn faster. Also, some have reported the minfernal as a 2nd battle pet; although I've not witnessed this personally, it bothers me when people kill battle pets without attempting to discover if there is a minfernal companion. If you feel the burning need to kill something; the level 1 Tainted Rats make great target practice :P

Have fun and good luck fellow battle pet hunters -- you're going to need it.

Just for kicks, list of realms sighted below:

3:10 server time on blackhand, the dailies just reset and a ton of the Minfernals spawned. Quickly caught a poor. Then had a couple more battles since there was no one else in the area and was able to get an uncommon one. Ported back to Stormwind and let them know that they had just spawned. Hope this helps, Good luck everyone.

Kommentar von Jonizan

One trick is kill infernals thats spawns there. Description of these guys is "these ill-tempered constructs of flame and rage sometimes rise from the remains of larger infernals who fall in the battle." So keep killing infernal sentrys that walks there. I got my minfernal after half hour by killing them. Hope this helps.

Why downrate when its true?

Kommentar von Daedrus

*dopey laugh* derp face* pats cheeks* i got the first time i looked :D

Kommentar von Miatog

Reading what the journal says about these guys I tried running around and killing Infernal Sentry and I very quickly noticed something. They seems to have a high chance to instantly respawn. By instantly respawn, I mean there's a new one standing on top of the one I just killed when the death animation STARTS. I can't help but wonder, given that with 50 kills and 45 of them had this instant respawn effect, if they pet is suposed to spawn from a kill, but they put the wrong mob in there.

I know that this respawning wasn't due to a high population either, it was 1AM PST, /who showed nobody, I asked general if anyone was around just in case of CRZ stuff. I got no response. Now this isn't proof I was alone, but it does show that there was very few people around in the entire zone.

Kommentar von 920932

I just managed to get my Minfernal and for those still looking to get theirs I suggest that you keep one of your characters that you don't use for anything else and log in every now and then to see if they have spawned. Also I suggest that you log out over the fifth black circle on the minimap, the one that is by itself a bit to the right. I logged out there without thinking much about my location and now when I logged in I saw one of them and grabbed it instantly. It was of poor quality but that really doesn't matter since it will count towards the achievement anyway, but because of pure curiosity to see if there was any other ones up I flew around a little just to see 3-4 people hovering over the area camping for the pet.

Now here's my point; I had just logged in so that Minfernal I got had probably been up for a short period of time before I got it (could be seconds but could also be minutes), not far away from the people camping it. But since most campers focus on the "main area" where the black circles on the minimap are closer together they couldn't see the one in the corner. So don't waste your time camping, staring at the screen for hours. Instead log in every now and then because at some point you are guaranteed to find one if you're patient. And if you really want to camp it, make sure to fly around and check the entire area regularly because you never know where it will spawn.

Good luck hunting it!

Kommentar von Jeolene

Like I've seen others say, don't bother camping just the pools with the infernals, I picked up one from a mob just to the east, near the really big infernal (can't think of his name at the moment), there were 3 other people there, but since they were camped out at the pools, I was able to pick mine up with no problem. Was it sneaky? probably, but I was the one paying attention when I flew in and went around the whole area, not just the pools.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a monkey to find... *puts out traps and does a rain dance*

Kommentar von 964687

Just caught one about 10 minutes ago. I reading various comments saying that if you kill other battle pets in the zone then it could cause a respawn of a Minfernal. I tried this for about half an hour to an hour and kept causing tainted rats (damn you for giving me heart attacks) to spawn in shatter scar vale, which lead me to believe that it could work. Anyway, i went to grab a drink, came back and saw a minfernal skipping across the dirt, battled and caught him ofc, common quality. There wasn't many people around and only one spawned at the time. So you could always try what i did and see if it works for you, just stick it out, you could be there for a while.

Kommentar von fionaline

after farming some time after this one i decided to try out the same as by the onyxia spawn so i battled all surrounding pets and the first that spawned after was minferno and even a rare in first try , if i was just lucky i dont know but its worth a try for others.....

Kommentar von 1058668

Based on current camping experience, this is most camped critter. I routinely see at least four other people patrolling his spawn area whenever i log into my alt. Good luck getting this one anytime soon.

Kommentar von LadySuncrusher

after camping on 3 different realms i did not take notice of the time it was when i caught my little guy, never before since i have started my battle pet journey have i been so excited to see a green paw, he is poor quality but i am looking forward to tomorrows patch 5.1 where i can battle to acquire the stone needed to upgrade my little cutie ... if it were not for selfish players who like to think only of themselves many players such as myself (unselfish) would have had this little guy long ago, but then again that is the way most of the community is today, selfish ....

Kommentar von Alliekatt

Galakrond did not produce a single "magic spawn" after the server restart this morning.

I just wanted to clarify, because there have been some claims that they will... In this case, however they did not. So this speculation appears to be false, at least for Galakrond.

Just had a server restart and none appeared. This seems to be the most sought after pet. Currently there are 30+ people camping for this pet as I type this. Of course CRZ doesn't help here.

Kommentar von 223389

What are people's opinions on the Minfernal's battle abilities and strategies?

Kommentar von 1049255

I have had an alt parked in Felwood to check/camp this when I have had time. Today I finally found one, I could feel the excitement and I threw the cat away from my lap to fast mount up fly there as fast as I could.

As I landed and was about to click the Minfernal a big Infernal aggro'd me which put me in combat. I did not notice that I was in combat before my staff was already halfway through the swing, as I was screaming "Nooooo" I could see the numbers 1239 pop up on my screen...

So much time and I finally had my chance to get this pet but all the joy went away in less than a second, now I'm sitting here trying to think if I could have done something different. If I ever see a Minfernal again I will make sure to clear the area first so this wont happen to me again.

Now I wish that I had never logged on my Mage today, I should have just stayed on my main and done dailies instead..

I never really bothered to think much about CRZ until my hunt for this pet began, I now know true hatred. Decided to open a ticket and see if there was possibly a bug based on the pet description. The GM advised that "developers are aware of a problem and working to fix it as soon as possible." Not sure if he was giving me the run around but at least it provides some hope for those who don't have time to camp this all day.

Kommentar von Hammus

Hey guys :) I just started collecting pets yesterday, so I'm happy to say I'm apart of the pet collector's club now! I saw this little guy on my mod and thought, "Hey, why not, he sounds like it would be pretty cool". So I get into the area and immediately see one in the little crater. I click on him to start the battle, but unfortunately he's only uncommon :( so I just forfeited the battle and started looking for another one. Lo and behold there's another one two craters over, and it's rare, yay! (I'm kinda glad I got it right away, I didn't want to spend a long time looking for a rare). Anywho, I logged on wowhead to post how easy it was to find these things...but it turns out some people are having a hard time with it, I had no idea. So now I'll just say: Don't give up guys, your turn is right around the corner!

P.S. I heard someone talking in general that killing the large infernals makes the pets spawn faster.

Please change Meteor Strike to not miss so often. It took me forever to find a Minfernal and just today I used an Battle Stone on him to make him rare.

I'm really sad how unpowerful he is.

Kommentar von Sakano

Just caught him today (12/7/12) 10:49 AM server on Thunderhorn. I was killing other battle pets in the area as well as infernals. He ended up spawning right next to the pillars off to the side as others had reported. (See screen shot)

He was poor quality but I had a Flawless Battle-Stone to upgrade him to rare. :)

At level 14 (and being rare quality), he now has 828 Health/162 Power/162 Speed.

Good hunting all!

Kommentar von 954889

I was camping this pet for 2 days, and not even a sighting, so today I decided to try, and see if killing the infernals would speed things up. After 3 kills, 1 had spawned, so I am thinking that killing does in fact speed spawns up.

Kommentar von stickshift

Even with the Flawless Battle Stone people will (and do) still camp for the rare drop...it happens. At this point, most avid collectors are where I am; I need this pet and the Qiraji Guardling (which won't spawn until this summer) for the ultimate collector title "Zookeeper". All other achievements can be acquired w/o this pet.

If Blizzard is going by the same seasonal change as it does for Raw Summer Bass spawning, summer is March 20th to September 23rd.

So, unless you're stretching it for the achievement, That's a Lot of Pet Food, late February may be the least crowded time to camp.

Edit: This is just my opinion, but I think many collectors are resigning themselves to waiting until they get the Guardling, then there will be another glut of campers in Felwood.

EDIT 2: It seems they aren't following the seasonal aspect as I imagined. June 21st is the annual start of the Guardling.

Kommentar von catadon22

easily one of the (if not THE) most OP battle pets there is. 1st, their magical passive, which states that a single attack can't take more then 40% of their health away is HUGE. 2nd, the extra plating ability is also a huge advantage. 3rd, the damage over time effect from the immolate ability is awesome! and last, after being an un-stoppable tank and damage dealer, if that isn't awesome enough for you, the meteor strike ability (provided it doesn't miss or is dodged) will completely devastate the enemy. and, the pet is also HUGE!

Kommentar von irishspring1

what does CRZ stand for?

Kommentar von 1059984

Yes sitting around and waiting for 3+ hours will work, but as stated before killing the critters in the area does help.
/tar Tainted Rat
/cast instantdeath

I "believe" the reason why people have been complaining about the long spawn time, is because like many other rarer pets, these pets share spawns with other critters/battlepets in the zone, however no one really had a lightbulb moment about this fact because the minfernals still spawn randomly and at very long spawn times.
If you note the other beasts in the zone, you will see the wolves/bears attack critters randomly, this happens enough, a minfernal eventually spawns.
Nothing says you can't help it along :)

Kommentar von bewsh

If you're having a hard time finding this pet you can most likely thank, or blame, CRZ.

I just took a flight path from Org to the Whispering Grove and there were 6-12 Minifernals up as I flew over the Shattered Scare Vale. As soon as I landed I'm guessing I phased/CRZ'd. I mounted up and headed over and they were gone.

I hearthed back to Org, and did the same thing, with the same result. So, they are most certainly spawning. You're just being taken to a realm with none or phased somehow.

I also know for a fact they weren't tamed because there are only few people afk on their mounts and the only other person actively searching can't see them either (from a different server for what it's worth).

This is on US-Kil'Jaeden, so pretty irritating to be getting screwed by CRZ when my home server is high pop.

Edit: Tested the same thing from Hyjal and had the same result. Then I jumped off the mountains from Hyjal into felwood and used my goblin $%^&*! to fly over the vale - no minfernals. I'm guessing they're in surplus on my home realm and as soon as I set foot into Felwood and whatever server I am being phased to they're non-existent because there are 15-20 people there waiting to get lucky and compete for a single spawn.

Kommentar von angra007

OK, everyone here is clueless... so i am going to explain the trick to get this very fast...

follow these on the order:

1) Kill all rats on the Shatter Scar Vale (this will open spawn slots)
2) Get out of the Shatter Scar Vale and player kill the Battle Pets around (toads, roaches, moths, whatever...anything u can battle, just kill it) (this will do battle pet spawn roll)

3) Go back to Shatter Scar Vale and wait for pet spawns.... rats will have now a chance to be switched by a battle pet of the area (Minfernal)

IF U ONLY KILL RATS U WILL ONLY FORCE THE SERVER TO PET ROLL AND NOT TO BATTLE PET ROLL

Kommentar von 847060

You do not have to wait for server restart. I logged at 7 pm on my toon camped on the spawn area and Boom, puppy paw. Spammed my macro and a 30 secs later i got a new pet. Kill the rats and battle pets in the area and you should be fine. Its gonna take a while but it will happen.

Kommentar von Jeolene

I'm not sure if it's just me or maybe I got the "special" one, I upgraded this to a rare thinking "if it's this rare to find, it must be good". I'm not sure if I'd use it for anything, the attacks seem weak compared to other pets and it misses... a lot. The standard 'crush' attack always seems to do about 50 less damage than what it says at lvl25. The 'extra plating' just doesn't seem to feel like it's keeping damage down like my turtle shields.

The meteor ability sometimes doesn't even do anything. I cast it, it goes up, comes down, sometimes it hits, most time it misses, a lot of times I don't get anything, it just crashes and that is the end of it, like I didn't even use it. Maybe there's a special niche critter it's good for, but I'd honestly stick with the usual pets over this one and I've yet to try out some of the other abilities, but I can't say as I'm impressed.

Not really ranting, just some things I've noticed, maybe just bugs that need to be fixed, who knows

Kommentar von Mantrhax

We know that blizzard has some stupid ideias over the time, making CRZ into a zone with a rare pet spawn is one of those ideias , making people camping days, weeks to find a pet....awesome way to make more valor of subscriptions. Do not add content, just make people stay in one place doing nothing all day long

Kommentar von Kawney

At this point, this companion is a mini-Chuck Norris. You can never find it.....

Kommentar von chinane

I got lucky finding one very close to the lake south of their spawn point. Almost didn't check it on the mini map, as I assumed it was just a toad.

It may have been left because others were making the same assumption without safety checking (the rest of the area was picked clean), so don't make that mistake :).

Kommentar von blkdeath75

EASILY the most camped battle pet in the game. I have seen 10-12 players at a time from 3-4 different realms at 7am! I thought most of you chugged red bull and ate hot pockets till 3-4 in the morning, This means when I wake up at 6am for work like a normal person I find the stuff you burn out trying to find throughout the night.

Stop staying awake all night so I can get my Minfernal!

2 weeks and counting

Edit: Got it Christmas morning while all the chuggers were busy looking for their Greatfather Winter Loot. No server restarts or anything, just leetsauce lookin for more free epics under the tree. Thanks downvoters!

Kommentar von Hohen666

I have found many of them. They are fairly easy to spawn if you are on a low pop server. I you aren't, just make a DK alt on it, once you get flying mount (only to minimize travel times) just go on a rampage on the critters occupying the Höllchen and then kill any other critters you encounter. You will make space for the Höllchen to spawn while actually letting it time to do so. When you've killed about 20 critters you should be fine. Just aim back to the area of spawn and kill whatever isn't a Höllchen. If nothing has popped in 15-20 mins go back the slaughter.
Good hunt!

Kommentar von PoshKenneth

I had read a comment on another website that someone had spoken to a GM who encouraged them saying that the more Infernals you kill the more likely it is for a Minfernal to spawn.

So I killed Infernals for a few hours and lo and behold, a Minfernal spawned.

Just as I clicked it someone else had beat me to it.

I wouldn't be so bitter if I didn't feel like killing those Infernals sped up the spawn time and that all the time I spent doing that helped some other guy get a Minfernal.

But being as insane as I am I'll keep trying, I just have this crappy feeling that someone else will steal it when it does spawn again...

Kommentar von 154479

Got mine, after I started killing the infernal mobs in the area. Maybe it's just coincendence but it gives you something to de while you wait for a spawn.

Kommentar von 896743

Minfernals and all other battle pets despawn /die if you attack a person who is capturing it.
If you see an opposing faction capturing it let them have it or you are going to waste their time and yours making it so there is an extra person farming the pet, and they will probably repay for for killing their pet.

Kommentar von 1069095

If you kill off one of these just because of quality, you are ignorant to the fact of how easy it is to obtain a stone. Stop this.

Kommentar von Missdirect

I initially found one my first day of looking, it was a rare. I'd recently switched some pets around in my team for the sake of leveling and in my haste to click on him before anyone else I forgot this. Moral of the story, you probably need at least two decent 15's to take on his team, just in case. (I had also forgotten to heal them so that was a factor.) Make sure your team can take him and his two adds. He hits pretty hard. Seeing my last pet die, with his last add around 10% was excruciating.

I mourned a couple of days and then went on the hunt for heal. Moving every toon on every server I had that was 45+ to felwood. I would then go down the list checking multiple servers. Making a dk and parking it in felwood on a low population server finally got me my minfernal! And luck beyond luck, when I clicked on him, he was another rare!

The best advice I can give someone looking for this pet is to look late at night, on a low population server (I found mine on a role playing server at about 1 o'clock). There was only one other 90 druid looking at the time, he was from a different server.

Good luck and happy hunting!

Kommentar von babyduck76

Found mine at 45,42. Very heavily camped.

Kommentar von Entilzha2161

Managed to snag one of these without too much direct camping by leaving 2 toons camped there on 2 different Battlegroups, one spawned on an 80DK haven't played in years on Shu'halo (the toon was actually naked as all its heirloom gear was faction transferred), but keeping a toon camped at that spawn point in as many of the CRZ grouping as possible will greatly enhance your chances of finding one in less time, now onto that Scourged Whelpling.

Kommentar von 979234

Not sure why I can't reply above post (and the post should get negative votes now and get closed). But logging out also makes the pet disapear now. Not sure what happends if you alt+F4, but guessing the same thing.
But joining a battleground (or raid/scenario/dungeon) and leaving it asap still seems to be working.

NOTE: Don't go afk for more than 5 minutes. The fight will then finish on it self.

If you are from a high populated server such as me, my best advise (if u have a 50-55lvl toon) is to realm jump.

My boyfriend helped me by creating a DK on every low pop realm starting from the top working our way down. I think you need to be same or lower lvl than the one who invts you, and ofc a DK is only lvl55 from start.

I solved this by traveling to felwood with my lvl54 monk, the mobs are a bit lower than you, so you can run the circle looking for this guy after each inv without pulling everything around you - your friend needs to stay online till you are done looking, otherwise you will be thrown back to your own realm.

I found 2 of these guys within the first 18 realms, took about 10-15min to go through them. Hope this helps others who are as frustrated over crz as i was.

I made a dk on a low pop pvp server. Afther about 1 hour of killing eny thing that moved i found 4-5 of them and 1 was uncommon. I was the only 1 camping.

Kommentar von reiahart

I took the advice from others and started killing rats. I did this on two different servers although there were others I would pop up on without killing rats.

I killed battle pet tainted rats, toads, anything that was in the vicinity of the Minfernals. I also killed the non-combative pets. The first time it helped to spawn a Minfernal within 20 minutes by just sticking to the Scar area. Someone else got that one so I decided to try a different server (not low pop just fewer there at the time) and within another 20 minutes another minfernal popped using the same strategy.

I did not kill the larger Infernals. Just the surrounding critters. I also used a macro for quicker killing. Good luck all.

Kommentar von Aerozia

server restarts have NOTHING to do with their spawn. just got on after one, and ever server had only rats. everyone else said the same thing, every server they checked had onmly rats.

Kommentar von 1061181

Got mine yesterday in a low pop PVP server. Even though the comments were just to kill he rats and other pets, i killed anything that moved lol. After about 20 mins one common one spawned for me. I didn't see any others in the area and I was the only one camping. I considered myself the most luckiest person in the world anyways :) Good luck :)

Kommentar von 101486

Wich pet breed would you guys say is t he best for this?

Kommentar von ZerOrbit

I found only one of these Minfernals walking around, I battle it, then I capture it, and then I accidentally clicked the Flee from Battle button. I can't find any more of these anywhere! :(

Kommentar von 267791

Finally got one, thank you magic battlestone!

Kommentar von 699344

Well, this one is going to suck! I had never personally seen people camping for battle pets until I went looking for this guy. There must have been 7 or so people camping this area just waiting for it. So yeah, did not get it yet.

Kommentar von MsGrimReaper

Got mine today on Suramar at 5pm Server. Cords were 46.4 43.2

After several attempts at sitting in the middle of all the spawn points I got frustrated. I begin to kill the Infernal Sentry's and the Entropic Horror's. ( I have no Idea if that helped.) After I killed off everything, I did a pass, nothing. On my next pass I decided to try the outside near the Trees/ Mts and found one. After the battle I checked and no other ones were up. Hung around for another 30 min didn't see a second.

Kommentar von Silmryn

Used someones tatic of wiping every critter/battle pet I could in a short amount of time. Went back and bam got mine by the pillars. Then #$%^ myself cause i had all my lvl 25 pets equipped. My saving grace dark simulacrum from my crawling claw and a bit of luck since i used the minfernals own dot to bring it to capture range. It was only uncommon. Total camp time less than 30 min =)

Kommentar von rcollins0031

I took the advice of several comments that I had seen on here and made a DK alt on a low pop PvP server. I cleared out about 20 battle pets and one spawned near the pillars. I captured the minfernal and while batteling the second pet in the group, a !@#$%^bag level 90 pali killed me. Luckily, as I died I saw where the minfernal had been added to my collection and the one I battled was still there for someone else to get. It was a poor quality but who cares, I got my minfernal and used 1k JP to upgrade it to uncommon. The pali that killed me went to get the minfernal that was still there so I killed it as he landed on it. ^&*!@#bag of me, yes, made me feel better, oh hell yes. I know it was a PvP server, but damn a lvl 90 against a lvl 58?

Kommentar von 904551

Just to let you guys know that i found one couple of weeks ago an hour before server restart.
Why that was the case i really dont know!

Hope it helps someone :-)

Kommentar von Elethea1

So after reading all these comments, and endless killing of fernals, one pops up after I move away from a kill and a person right behind me picked it up before I could turn around and get it. To make matters worse, they followed me around for about 15 mins with the minfernal out just to taunt me. After swearing that I would quit this game for the umpteenth time in seven years, I decided to make toons on other servers. One DK for Brazilian, one for Oceanic, Latin, ect. I choose low population pvp servers hoping that this would give me a better edge. An hour later I log into the Brazilian server to start my rounds of the area. It was 4 server time and Immolatus spawned. I killed him. I ran around some more and killed two more Fernals. Ten mins after I killed the rare spawn a minfernal showed of poor quality. Tamed it! Yeeesssssss!
I went to bed and just a few mins ago, just to test the Immolatus theroy I logged into Oceanic and Immolatus just happen to spawn. I killed him. Ran around. Found another minfernal spawn of low quality. Left it. Switched over to Brazilian and found another minfernal of low quality in the same area as the Oceanic one. I left that one for the other toon who was running around to grab.

Bottom line try after the Immolatus spawn.

Also, for those who are flying over and get CRZ minfernals showing up, you might try making the target minfernal macro and binding your interact with target key. Also make sure you have inflight dismout enabled. I used this when they had zoning issued for the land fall patch in pandaria and I could not get to pets I needed there because I was zoned out from them. They have since fixed the issue, but it did not stop me from getting certian pets when running the line between zones.

Edit: Had a person from warcraftpets.com confirm that they got one for themselves and one for their daughter 10 to 15 mins after killing Immolatus.

Hope this helps in the search for the elusive minfernal.

Kommentar von 1080313

I found mine today. No waiting either, as I tend to make it a habit to just go up to Felwood once a day for a minute or so. It was wandering around with a full sized Infernal a fair ways from the craters. I nearly killed it when I started the fight with level 20 pets equipped. Remember to have level 15-17 pets equipped with heading into Felwood. It was only poor quality, but I'll upgrade with my next stone.

Kommentar von kymetriis

For frustrated collectors from Skywall...
Heard to day from a GM that there has been some sort of technical difficulty. Skywall toons could not see the minfernals! Hope they are fixing it while it is down now.
Good luck hunting :)

Kommentar von Valkyriah

I can confirm that I got my minfernal after killing all other critters/battle pets in the area, after about 10 minutes I managed to get a single one to spawn.

Kommentar von 343782

Killed Immolatus and it spawned about 3-4 minutes later.

Total camp time approx. 15 minutes.

Kommentar von 268147

Note: Sadly, this has been patched as of 5.3. Many thanks to all for the appreciative comments. Best of luck to all still searching for this pet.

***

Here's how to make CRZ work for you!

You can capture this pet while on the flight path, you just have to take the right path!

As several comments have noted, you can often see plenty of Minfernals, Scourged Whelplings, Robo-Cubs, etc. while you're on the flight path/gryphon from one zone to the other. However, upon landing, you will no longer be able to see these spawns, since when you land in Felwood (in this case), you enter the zone on your actual realm, so those spawns you saw as you flew over were CRZ spawns that phased out upon landing.

So the trick is to enter combat with them while on the flight path. This is currently possible for pet battles -- simply bind a key to "Interact with Target" and spam that key when you're in range of the spawn you want to battle.

I know a few others have tried this, unsuccessfully, on the Minfernal and had been unable to get close enough to the pet. However, I can confirm that it does work, even for Minfernals, you simply have to take the correct flight path. You need a flight that will fly you directly over Shatter Scar Vale and that will take you low enough/close enough to interact with the Minfernals.

Start in Mt. Hyjal at the Nordrassil flight path. Hyjal is generally on a different CRZ than Felwood, so once you are in Hyjal you will enter a different zone. This part is important, otherwise you're just flying from path to path within your own realm. This flight path will work for Horde or Alliance characters. (However, if you find after a few attempts that this particular path doesn't work, another option for Horde characters is to fly from Orgrimmar to Whisperwind.)
Make a targetting macro of your choice. The most basic requirement is:

/tar Minfernal

but if you like to add in fancy things like sounds, screenshots, and the like, feel free.

(However, do note that if you use a whisper mod such as WIM, you may not want to include macro code that will whisper you upon finding the spawn, as I found that these mods can steal focus in your window, such that spamming your "Interact with Target" key ends up typing in the chat box instead.)
Bind this macro to a key. I like 4.
Under Esc > Key Bindings > Targeting Functions, bind a separate key to "Interact With Target." I chose the period key so that I could hit one button with my left hand and the other button with my right hand.
Now, from Hyjal, take the flight path down to Wildheart Point. When you choose the taxi path at the flight master, you will notice that this flight path includes a directly vertical line from Whisperwind Grove to Wildheart Point. This path is going to fly you right over Shatter Scar Vale but, what's more, the gryphon WILL take you low enough to interact with Minfernal spawns!
While on the gryphon, wait until you pass through Irontree Woods, then start pressing your targeting macro. As you pass through Shatter Scar Vale if there are other Minfernals up in the CRZs you're flying through, you'll be able to target one.
Once you have a target acquired, spam the heck out of your "Interact with Target" button. It will require a little bit of luck and may require a few tries, but there are Minfernals walking around that you will be low enough to interact with.
If you don't get the pet, once you land at Wildheart Point just fly back to Hyjal and try again. Bonus: If you don't already have your Nordrassil Wisp from Hyjal, you can use the same tactic to capture that pet on your return flight.

I was able to acquire mine using this method at 41.06, 42.36. Once I had the target, I just spammed the "Interact with Target" button until I came within range, then I was successfully pulled into the pet battle.

Then just complete the pet battle, capture the Minfernal, and once you leave the fight your gryphon ride will continue. You will probably disconnect upon landing at the gryphon, but you've already captured the Minfernal, which you will still own upon login.

It took me four flights total back and forth from Hyjal to Wildheart Point to enter into the battle and to get the timing right, but I'm now the proud owner of a poor quality Minfernal (and a Flawless Magic Battle Stone).

Best of luck, and happy hunting!
Myx

Kommentar von Aerozia

honestly, dont listen to ppl here. i have not had any luck killing critters or the infernals. with things like this people go crazy and try to attribute anything and everything to making something spawn, drop or proc.
just check in randomly, or wait, its just a really long spawn, i have got 3 by just logging in, and its already there, or as i was flying by it spawned, the whole mob of ppl waiting and flying didnt even notice as i dropped down and snagged it.

so really, just check when you can, when you que for dungeons, or bgs, kill stuff if you want for luck, but it really doesnt do anything.

Kommentar von collide9

If you want a Minfernal follow MyxomatosisFM genius instructions. I got one on my first run. Been intermittently camping for this nearly-impossible-to-be-seen-let-alone-catch-one pet, for 4 weeks straight to no avail.

I followed his guide and the rest will be my own epic personal triumph.

I caught a common one but happy with it. As expected I will try to get a Flawless Magic Battle-stone.

Do it now!

Kommentar von 1082583

The strategy submitted by MyxomatosisFM works! I was able to tame my minfernal on the flight path from Grove of the Ancients to Whisperwind Grove. The battle took place in mid air and there was no sound. Took a few tries. FYI!

Kommentar von Puttshead73

MyxomatosisFM's strat worked got an uncommon (green) on first try! Thanks!

Kommentar von 1082715

MyxomatosisFM's strat worked for me too. got one on my second try.
Its very easy if you have a horde character.
Just fly from Ogrimmar to Whiperwind Glove.
With this path you gonna pass in middle of the Shatter Scar Vale.

Kommentar von 1073084

I'm having the same issue as mentioned before with MyxomatosisFM's strat :( everytime it says I'm too far away to interact with the target. Any suggestions would be much appreciated

Kommentar von zarrise

Created an account just to say MyxomatosisFM's strategy worked! After a couple months of farming and not getting anywhere, I finally got my Minfernal after about a dozen flights. Taking the path from Org to Whisperwind is what finally worked for me.

Kommentar von Sagentine

If you are having a problem with this or any other rare companion, create a DK on Ravenholdt or add a person to your Real ID if you don't mind giving it out to a stranger. Ravenholdt is a low populated RPPVP server. If the pets are not up, then at least you have way less competition or you can try again later. So far I haven't had a problem with none being up. Good luck and happy hunting!

Kommentar von Pigeotto

None of them seem to be positioned close enough for me to initiate a pet battle with them using MyxamatosisFM's strategy. Just my luck! Does anyone know if they will reset/change where they are after a reset?

Kommentar von tommytom

I want to thank two people, MyxomatosisFM and zarrise.

All the information from MyxomatosisFM was amazing and I spent last night over 2 hours trying to get one, but never coming close enough to one lol Sometimes there were like 4 to choose from during the crz flight. I was getting annoyed and even made a dk like someone suggested on a server, but it was full of dks in that area lol

I then read zarrise comment about flying from org to Whisperwind and I got one on my first fly by, the first target was too far away, but the second target was right in that flightpath and boom entered battle combat while flying, got a green minfernal and that is good for me as I will most likely just upgrade it with the stone, no point going for another color.

Kommentar von laekia

So i really just want to sit down and cry... I saw the post for the minfernal trick one day too late after obsessively searching for it for weeks now. Ive spent the last roughly 6 hours trying with various toons both horde and alliance on multiple servers and i can confirm that it ~~no longer appears to work~~ Edit:Tried again yesterday and still nothing but today TADA! minfernals were actually up! So if you arent seeing any try every day and eventually some will spawn. Used the strat my MyxomatosisFM and like everyone else i can confirm it works... Took me a couple passes but if you put your buttons close together and literally spam them it helps. Good Luck!

Kommentar von Krakatua

I just dont know what to do, i have been farming this guy for more then a week, tried some diffent strategies such as kill infernal mobs, kill battle pets, kill both, log in 3 different servers, log in and check every few hours and nothing worked (not even after a server restart).

Kommentar von 1489

So minfernals have finally spawned after the restart. I was able to catch one this morning using MyxomatosisFM's method and flying from Hellscream's Watch to Whisperwind Grove (Horde).

Kommentar von 1083236

OK well finally got this guy! but took some farming and camping for most of the day on & Off! Only Poor Quality but I can easy change that!

I can Confirm that That there are no Tricks on how to get this, only pure patience and luck!

Happy hunting guys!

Kommentar von skitlem

its dumb that killing the sentries don't cause them to spawn where in the description of the pet is says that they spawn from larger ones that have fallen. while waiting I found that you can fish in the crater puddles. you still have to wait but at least this way you can lv up your fishing.

Kommentar von alphasnake

After over a month of trying to find this pet, using the taxi/interact method, camping for hours, killing critters all over the area, I finally got one.

I started a DK on a low population server, camped it at the spawn point, and just checked on that toon every few hours. I logged in the middle of the afternoon, around 1pm server, and found one a few feet away. Hands trembling, made sure I had the turnip out, clicked it as quick as I could, and finally got my minfernal. Was an uncommon one, but used the Battle stone I'd been saving just for this one pet, and it's now rare. Overall took 2 days from when I started the DK to the tame.

I'm not sure if the MyxamatosisFM method is still viable, but this is what worked for me. I just gotta say, keep at it, one of the most frustrating hunts ever, but persistence pays.

Kommentar von 798689

ok so what is MyxomatosisFM's method?

Kommentar von 1085816

Flew around for 20mins just killing the bigger ones to pass time n got one :) dont know if theres a trick to it

Kommentar von Necrothian

There are quite a few posts about how people have gotten it/camped it/methods of camping it, e.t.c.

But is it actually a good battle pet to be using?

Kommentar von Firlox

After trying all the pointers listed on here - making new toon on low pop server and logging in now and again (F you campers), flight point /macro interact with target etc.

Finally got mine after using the DK i made just for this (lvl 58 Genjuros pvp server). I got a friend on another server (Defias Brotherhood) to inv me to group knowing i would jump to his zone group (as he was the higher level) and see what was on offer in the area of his realm.

On porting across there was one just randomly scuttering about, was a grey (who cares!).

To summarise - i was able to check 4 diff realms (crz's) on one toon by getting invited by friends in my RL list. Seems a more viable way than any other. I did this first time and it worked....all the others were far too time consuming because i have been trying them for weeks and with no luck.

Of course you arent guaranteed to get one just by jumping realms but if you check now and again you might get lucky and at least your adding more ammo to your hunting gun for catching this over camped pet.

a quick edit to this... your friend from the 'other' realm doesnt have to be in felwood for you to crz and check the area

Kommentar von whodid

Wewt finally got my Minfernal! I made a DK on Gallywix (Brazil). Finished starter quests and went right to felwood.. Got it at 3:30am realm time..

Kommentar von serahna

Got mine tonight. I tried MyxomatosisFM's strategy about 6 times, and every single time, I would get a message saying the target was too far away.
I tried several different flight paths, and same result.
I am thinking they might have ninja patched it :(

BUT I still managed to get one at about 3:18 AM (central real time) on Drak'thul, and it is green quality! *dance*.
It was the only one up.
Along the way I did run there (from Wildheart Point) and was randomly shooting critters along the way.
I did not battle anything, just shot random critters.
I am not sure that played any part in it causing one to pop, but thought I would post my experience.

Oh and something to remember: I was using a level 25 guardian cub.
I used his "roar" ability ONLY. It took 3 hits to put the minfernal in taming range, and no where close to killing it.
I have used Guardian Cubs "roar" at level 25 to capture pets as low as level 6.
It's a very soft hitting ability, so it makes him very useful for captures if you don't have Terrible Turnip.
Good luck with this pet guys.

Kommentar von Elenni

I wanna share my exp while trying to catch this pet :)
after one hour of flying arround and doing battels with alomst all i can see in my way finally i saw 1.. It wasnt rare,but still i want to catch him badly..
He was 1 to battle with and i start.. One horde rogue saw me and sap me or do something and my battle finished :S
I saw Minferal again beside me and i click again.. my heart was beating so hard i thought i will die.. While finishing 3th mob in row other horde come to me.. i catch Minferal and start to pray in my head,wishing NOT TO BE DISTURBED :D and finally i finished fignt.. :) got one more awsome pet for me :) happy hunting all ::)

Kommentar von Nemo74

I too spent hours getting a DK out of the starting zone. I flew to felwood and over the Scar and seen 1 infernal in the middle. I was to high to interact with it. This was flying from Orgrimmar to Whisperwind. The flight path changes slightly when you fly up from the south Vs. coming in from the north. I am going to try to get someone to take my low lvl dk to Hyjal and fly down. That might make all the difference.

Update:
No it does not matter, I was at the same height and same path. If there were more spawns in the area this could work. But on the server I was on. It did not.

Kommentar von 1087226

IT DOES EXIST

I first tried to camp this on my high pop server. Heck. No.

Next I tried my low pop alt, but because of CRZ it was also highly camped.

Third I try RPPVP DK since it worked so good with FLuxfire Feline. Also heavily camped.

Now I discover a 4th char on another server high enough to go. Again highly camped.

By this point I am extremely frustrated, especially with CRZ. But I don't give up. I check and camp these 4 servers for a few days off and on. Still haven't even seen one.

Now I'm DESPERATE. I am pissed and I want to give up but I NOW REALLY WANT THIS $08 EVEN MORE. I decide to give MyxomatosisFM's flight path hax thing a try. I spend several hours last night and today on all 4 servers still don't even see them on any FPs. I want to confirm that this trick is possible. Although it will depend on if there are any up when you fly over AND there location. I mouse targeted a tainted rat and was able to enter battle from the FP. Anyway still no luck on Mythfernal....

I decide try my last option. Brazilian DK. Ugh. Leveled another DK and went to Felwood. I finally can see some Minfernal from the FP! I check and there is another DK camping and no minfernal so I proceed to waist another hour of my life trying to get one from FP. All I manage to do is target the Minfernal, but he is too far away from the path to enter battle. D@mn. So I have just about given up a resigned to logging into various alts to look.

Last I head over to the fell pools to log out. I am angry at this point and start killing rats and anything else that gets in my way. I look at my map and WTF Minfernal. Needless to say I ran over with my heart pounding in my chest and carefully caught that sucker!

I felt bad for the DK he didn't even see it. But I showed him mine to give him some faith that they do exist.

Kommentar von harlee

Has anyone figured out what the spawn timer is on this elusive pet? I finally saw my first one this morning at 4:07am but someone else beat me to it by a fraction of a second. Been checking on and off for months now, even tried the DK alt on a few realms, server swapping with friends and the flight path trick but alas no mythfernal for me :(

Kommentar von 798689

i don't know if this will help anyone but here ya go. i asked a GM this

i am looking for the minfernal.. OK so i am on the server coilfang and my Battlegroup is Retaliation which is made up of a total of 18 different servers. so with the cross realm thing does that mean when i am on a flight path and i see minfernals because it phases and when i personally fly there no minfernals. does that mean that the minfernal is some where on one of those 18 servers? or because of the CRZ does that mean i am seeing the pet on different battlegroups?

GM's answer

Hey there, thanks for taking time to reach out to us about your question.

I can't tell you much about the CRZ or the ceiling ninjas of Blizzard will get me, but I can say its a smaller group than 18, and yes, it might mean it's on another server.

Kommentar von Poxic

Addons that work for rare mobs via cache detection work for these as well, and can save you from staring endlessly at your minimap while you camp.

Install the Silver Dragon addon, then open up its options under the interface section, click on mobs, and then always, and then enter 62317 in the box and hit okay.

If/when one spawns around you, a popup will come up and a sound will be played. You can also enable sound in background with the volume up in case you want to use your pc for other things.

Amusingly, a minfernal had spawned within seconds of me doing this, and it alerted me to its presence and I ended up grabbing one.

Spawn behaviour note: 15 minutes after the one I caught spawned, I returned to my PC and noticed a swarm of paws on my minimap. Somewhere between 15-20 minifernals had spawned en-masse.

Kommentar von 235863

If you are trying myx's suggestion to grab the minfernal while flying over, make sure you visit the site at least once when you land.

I was trying myxs' flyover approach and wasn't seeing any minfernals so I figured i'd run up there and check it out. Wouldn't you know it, there was one waiting for me in my own zone.

So be sure to check the minfernals in your own zone by riding up there.

Kommentar von 826041

This is horrible, I checked 9 servers then found one poor quality one, I was about to capture it and it said "you already have 3 of this pet or have reached your pet journal limit" I HAVE 0 OF THESE PETS and I've been clearing out grey pets and gaining blues of other pets for the last 3 days.. what is going on?

Kommentar von Catitude

I just captured a Normal quality at 45.2 38.6 just minutes before Server Shutdown 10 or 15min after killing Immolatus. I also ran around and killed Tainted Rats & battled the few Wild battle pets I found in a rough circle around the spawn area.
One of my Guild Mates managed to successfully use the strategy from Myxomatosis flying up from Astranaar & captured an Uncommon this last weekend.

Kommentar von 812941

I finally got my Minfernal about 45 minutes ago on Smolderthorn. I am so happy.

I tried the Flight Path technique but I could't get it to work for me. After flying over the Minfernal site dozens of times, using both my Horde and Alliance toons and every conceivable flight path variation, I gave up. Even though I could target them, I couldn't get close enough to them to enter battle.

What did it take for me to get this pet... I almost don't want to admit what lengths I went to to get my gray (now blue, thanks to a Battle Stone) Minfernal. Suffice it to say that the toon I did catch it with was a level 58 priest I rolled specifically to catch this pet, as I can't play a DK to save my life. And I leveled it up on a PvP server, which was painful too.

I had toons parked in Felwood on 5 different servers. I have been logging in and out for weeks, spending hours staring at critters and mobs.

What happened finally was... You know that one rat that spawns in the middle of the Minfernal area? Sometimes it's just a critter, sometimes it's a catchable battle rat. Well, I kept killing that rat because I had nothing else to do. When it would respawn, it would always respawn as a rat.

Except for the last time. It spawned right in front of me as a Minfernal... I couldn't believe my eyes. Yay!

So I guess my advice is to keep killing the critters etc in the area... If you can't get the FP trick to work. Good luck, happy hunting.

Kommentar von 1060291

I followed the advice on some posts here and created DKs in three servers. I would toon hop every now and then to check if they have spawned. On one of my DKs in Gallywix I think I spent around an hour killing the Infernal Sentries but no Minfernal. I hopped on over to my DK in Nagrand and I saw a capturable Tainted Rat on the NW part of the zone where these Minfernals would appear. Out of boredom, I battled the Tainted Rat. Right after the battle I saw another green paw on the minimap. I spammed my target macro button to check if it is a Minfernal and it was! My heart jumped a beat and I ran over to engage the pet in battle. Now I am a very proud owner of a Minfernal!

Kommentar von 1089625

Sadly, I have been trying for the last week trying to get one, and I have failed every try. I finally have my Flawless Magical Battle-Stone. It is way too heavily camped to get one, unless you're really lucky and happen to have it spawn about 5 yards away from you, otherwise, it's probably out of your hands. :(

Kommentar von 662743

I have 3 of these guys now..2 were uncommon and 1 was poor, but I used a flawless battle stone on 1 of them to have a rare. I must of had better luck then most , just parked a toon out there and checked back once in a while. Got some of mine even when there were other people out there, they just missed them. Ended up giving an uncommon to somebody else, since I had 1 already, by logging out in battle and it worked. They got it! Thought that was cool. My bro went out there 1 time and got a rare. I really hate him...lol. H
opefully a patch soon will make the wild pets sellable. I'm still not sure why these are so popular. They are not incredible at 25 and I never see anyone battling with them. Hmmm

Ok, I have now captured two minfernals Legitimately, not using flight path tricks, One common and one uncommon, So I thought I'd share my tactic and some info about it, I can confirm that there can only be a certain amount of battle pets (If they'll battle or not it doesn't matter) in the Shatter scar vale, So, My tactic was, I would kill all the critters (like tainted rat) in the vale and would then wait, perhaps talk in guild chat while I camp for a while, then, if no minfernals spawned and all tainted rats spawned again, I would kill them all then repeat, I did this about three times before I acquired my first, then once for my second, there is no point in camping there hoping for one to show up if there is no room for them to spawn anyway, you should be killing the tainted rats so there is room for them to spawn, Anyway, this is how I got my lovely minfernals that I shall cherish, Happy hunting all, Hope you get yours soon! :)

P.S: Why downvote me, I'm trying to help others get it

Kommentar von kespec

You have probably heard about manipulating the CRZ feature to get this pet, but still may be out of luck. the reason is many other people are actually doing the taxi trick.

best way to get the pet with the trick is; look for a low population server, create a horde death knight. finish the quest you will be eventually sent to orgrimmar. report to the warchief then immediately go to the flight master. with /tar minfernal macro and and interact with target keybinding ready take a flight to whisperwind grove.

if done correctly you will probably fly right over one, do the trick get the minfernal.

additional info

level range is 13-15 , has 2 companions assisting, 500-600 hp. has abilities deal extra damage to; mecha, flying, dragon. those abilities deal lower damage to critters and beasts.

good luck

MyxomatosisFM - you are the awesome.
Thank you. I've been hunting this blasted pet for ages on a high pop server and never even seen one spawn. I went to another server, created a death knight and was able to follow your instructions to the T! It took a few days for there to be one on the flight path close enough to snag it but then I got lucky. You'll get Dc'd shortly after and before I got too happy, I logged back in to make sure it was there and BooYaa!

Oh and I had to add - I wouldn't have had to do the whole flight thing - HAD the idiot not snagged the one that spawned and then wasted it - he was looking for a rare. O_o Use a stone you moron! It's jerks like that who keep the rest of us from getting one.

It stinks when you have to resort to getting pets this way but if it works, it works.

Kommentar von 1093651

okay so i've tried everything and i was losing my mind. finally, today at around 1:00am i decided to fly back and check it out. took the flight path from org. i saw one minfernal spawned on the mini map and thought that it was probably more crz nonsense. i then mounted up once i landed and headed to check it out. i saw two people camped in the middle of the zone so i figured that nothing was there. decided to check where i saw it on the minimap and saw a green paw on the map. after all of my camping i figured that it was a tainted rat, but it was actually a minfernal! engaged it and caught my minfernal finally! it was common quality but i had four stones in my bags so who cares? then i called my brother in law to gloat only to have him log in and snag a minfernal only minutes after me lol. so for anybody who's looking and has just about lost their minds in the process: don't waste your time camping. fly over every now and again and you'll find one eventually. you won't go as insane that way.

Kommentar von 735501

I just had to chime in on this, I got SO lucky just now! I have only been out here for about 10 minutes (don't hate!), and while tabbed out reading these comments I noticed a paw show up on the mini map. HOLY CRAP. There it is! I frantically started trying to engage battle, received an error (aggghhh wth) and finally got it to start. He only had one other pet with him, himself being of Green quality! My Snowy Owl did perfect against him and now he's mine! I found him behind a big tree just off the road at 41.53x38.50!
After capturing him, I flew around and noticed that Immolatus had also spawned, but no other mini's to be found. Maybe there is a link to the spawn time with the Rare? Anyway, I really, really thought I would NOT be seeing one of these for a very long time. The dang baby giraffe took so long to find compared to this guy. lol There were multiple people out here also, I'm so happy it spawned next to me.
Good luck to everyone, I hope you find a trick that works, or just that luck shines on you. :)

In case anyone is trying to get a spawn schedule, etc: I got my minfernal (poor quality) at 8:30am on the Malygos server. Yesterday, I saw someone grab one around 5:15pm. Both were seen up around the big guy (Kroshius?) that has a quest symbol. I've been flying around, either killing or fighting the tainted rats to encourage new spawns. All I need now is to wait for the QIraji Guardling and its mysterious start date to complete my Safari achievements! Good luck everyone :)

Kommentar von katrina20

Ok so I am flying over have one in my sites only when i spam interact with target it tells me i am not close enough. This is painful lol am i doing something wrong?

Thanks :D

Kommentar von Evisane

I caught my minfernal at 11:33am server time on Arthas. I didn't kill any critters or mobs, just circled around on my flying mount and saw one spawn over by the pillars just north of the northernmost pool. It was uncommon quality.

Kommentar von 795337

Had to make a DK on a PVP server in order to catch mine, my home base was just over run with people trying to catch one.
Got 2 of them at around 11:30am server time (US) the first was grey and I critted and killed his scrawny butt. I had waited for about 4 hours for one to spawn and thought that I was going to be in for another long wait when I noticed another paw print and much to my delight it was another minfernal. Caught that one, it was only a common but I have a battle stone set aside for him already.

Good Luck people, and if you're on a busy server take others suggestions and try making a DK on another low pop server, worked for me and one of my guildies who got his first and suggested I try it. Thanks bro!

Kommentar von Naggash

Got my Minfernal on 26.02 ~03.20am. I was using an alt on VERY very low populated realm (there is like 30players in prime time in org xD), so there is zero peoples in the zone. I was in felwood for about 10minutes, i was killing all the critters around the pools (don't think it is helps) and one single minfernal spawned, it was common quality H/H (to bad, i was hoping for P/P) but who cares... On my main realm btw, there is like 3+ ppls all the time camping the zone, so i had no chance.

Kommentar von 1102160

after trying to follow the tips here.. unsuccessfuly i might add...
i decided to try something different to get this pet.
i actually read the notes in the pet journal when u hover over Minfernal

it read

"These ill-tempered constructs of flame and rage sometimes rise from the remains of larger infernals who fall in battle"

so i killed the infernal sentry's that were around for about 1 hr and still no spawn..
but after reading 'some' posts here about 24hr spawn timers i thought i would come back 24 hrs after the time i was killing them..
and DAMN me there were a few around.. i captured them (3) all were poor or common.
i tried the same method again a few days later trying to get that elusive rare we all want.. and it worked again... this time i got the rare on my 1st battle,
and then i called in others that were after the pet and sat back and watched them all flock to the area

i have now had a few friends try this method to great success

I hope that this method is helpfull to others

Happy Hunting

Kommentar von 1104463

Does the flight path CRZ trick still work as of 5.2? I've tried flying over from several points on two different servers and haven't even seen any minfernals.

Kommentar von 542893

ok I have tried a couple of times since the new patch and it looks like the Flight path trick has been fixed.

Kommentar von PommieTappet

Poor chipper2279 has been horribly down-voted (for admittedly rude in-game behavior), and yet following his/her advice I was able to get a damn Minfernal—finally.

As s/he says, the tool-tip for Minfernals reads:

These ill-tempered constructs of flame and rage sometimes rise from the remains of larger infernals who fall in battle.

So, there are four steps altogether:

Note the time.
Kill all the Höllenbestienwachposten mobs you see, and repeat until you've accomplished a sizable massacre. What is sizable? I'd say err on the side of caution and make it a holocaust.
Wait 23 hours and 30 minutes.
Return to Shatter Scar Vale and patrol the area. Don't stand in one place, but follow the spawn-map as shown above—work those edges!

Eventually, a Minfernal will spawn. Then another. And another. And quite a few more. The more sentries you dispatch, apparently the greater chance for Minfernals to spawn in about 24 hours time, plus-or-minus a half-hour or maybe an hour or so.

Of course, this is all anecdotal; yet more and more anecdotes eventually becomes evidence.

Have your Übelrübe ready, my fellow pet hunters!

Kommentar von Triscut

ive been trying Myxo's strategy and i can verify i got it to work on another pet but havent been able to get close enough to the minfernal that showed up to interact. keep tryin!

correction i just got my minfernal using Myxo's method and for anyone who wants to skip the hassle of camping,do this it works! to save some trouble of being DC'ed after your pet battle,log out after its over so you dont have to sign in again

Kommentar von sandybeach16

After trying to get this pet on several servers and several characters, I used chipper2279's advice and it worked. 9:50pm server time was when I killed several infernal sentrys and came back tonight a little early tonight (9:30pm server time) and killed several more infernals and critters to pass the time.

FINALLY a minfernal spawned! Right around 9:50pm server time was when I finished the battle and it was mine. Special thanks to Terrible Turnip for not killing the thing.

I don't even care that the minfernal I captured is of poor quality. I have one!

Kommentar von 1104463

Got it today the old fashioned way. I was trying to do the flight path trick, noticed several Minfernals, but wasn't successful in battling one. On the return flight path I noticed a lone Minfernal. Once I landed I immediately flew back and got it.

I didn't care to try the flight path trick afterwards, but I'm guessing it would have worked. Earlier I posted that I thought Blizzard fixed it because I saw zero Minfernals on several flights from two different realms (flew from Orgimmar on my PvP Horde toon, flew from Darkshore on my PvE Alliance toon). This morning I saw at least five or six Minfernals, and it looked like two were close enough to the flightpath to be grabbed. Moreover, I can confirm that pet battles can still be initiated from flight paths (I tried with Tainted Rats). If Blizzard wanted to fix this, I'm guessing they would have just prevented initiating pet battles from flight paths rather than modify the Minfernal's zone to keep them out of range.

Kommentar von ammonite

I decided to test the theory that killing the infernal sentries causes the minfernals to respawn starting about 23.5 hours later as I tried to get my own pet, and while I was at it, I tried to put some more specific numbers to it by keeping track of how many I killed and how many minfernals spawned. The first night, I hadn't decided to keep track, but I killed around 40-50 based on my recollection of the vendor trash I accumulated. Nothing spawned, so I tried again the next night, killing ~120 infernal sentries over the course of about 40 minutes (though I'm sure it would have gone faster if I had been more concentrated). Again, after showing up 23.5 hours after I started and staying about 1.5 hours, nothing spawned. I again killed just over 100 sentries last night in another attempt to cause minfernals to spawn for tonight. I got lucky enough to grab a common minfernal during the day and upgrade it with a battle stone. I checked in tonight to see if anything spawned anyway to fulfill my curiosity about this method, and again, nothing was spawned. There are a number of contradictory anecdotes, but based on my experience, either I had very bad luck with RNG, a much larger number of infernal sentries need to be killed to have a good chance with minfernal spawns, or the people who have had success with this method have simply gotten lucky with timing. I really can't say what is correct, but I thought I would at least share my data.

Kommentar von 847801

I need some help with the flight path technique. Are there always spawns up when you fly past? As of today I'm flying past and only seeing rats spawned where I imagine Minfernals should be, I'm hoping they haven't fixed this. Help?

Kommentar von ilikepancakes

I'm not sure whether I was just lucky, but I'd tried the flightpath trick, just killing critters, killing infernals and just camping around the area and wasn't getting any love.

So I thought I'd try killing infernals and coming back 23hrs later. So, spent about 10minutes killing inferals yesterday (not sure how many...mostly just til I got bored) and then came back 23 1/2hrs later, and within about 10minutes there she blew!

Caught at 5:59am Saturday on Thunderlord, green quality!

So, again, whether this truly works or not, I'm not sure, but it worked for me, so good luck for anyone else who tries this method!

Kommentar von 545550

The CRZ flight path trick worked for me just now; Alliance toon flying from Grove of the Oracles in Darkshore to Whisperwind Grove. It's a very short flight and Darkshore is a separate CRZ from Felwood, so game on! Takes you right down the middle of the Vale. Bless your altruistic heart, Myxo.

Kommentar von yourgone7

Can somebody post a video of doing this flight path trick cause recently when I've been trying I see the minfernals but I do not get close enough to interact and I wanna see if I am doing it right or wrong.

Kommentar von NewsAlchemist

I came to the area, killed a bunch of infernal sentries, then tried the "only so many spawns in this area" idea, killed a bunch of non-combat pets. Within 5 minutes a Minfernal had spawned (on my second loop.)

Kommentar von 239561

I have been camping the spawn sites for weeks on 2 realms without any luck. I decided to try and attempt the 'flightpath method' and whilst I did see Minfernals and was successful in targeting them, I was unable to engage from the air. I received the message that I was out of range of my target. I used a macro for targeting and changed key bindings to interact with the target (in my case to 2). I flew right over one Minfernal - I don't know that there could have been any closer to the fp so I'm starting to think that maybe this has been patched for 5.2. Has anyone caught a pet from flying since 5.2?

What I did realise was that on my second realm, because only one Minfernal appeared on the map whilst I was flying, I could tell that my realm was actually a host realm (Jubei) and so as soon as I landed, I raced back and caught myself the one uncommon Minfernal that had spawned. Still in the area an hour later and none others have spawned.

If like me, you would prefer not to create a DK solely to catch pets on low pop non CRZ, you really do need to put in a lot of time and still, be extremely lucky to catch a Minfernal. Good luck! I for one am just looking forward to not having to spend so much time in Felwood; it really is the middle of nowhere...

Kommentar von ghcpa999

I got mine yesterday, albeit poor quality but who cares! At 1:45 am on an PRPVP server I saw three or four on the minimap while flying over shatter scar vale en route to Winterspring. I turned around at the flight path in winterspring and by the time I landed in Felwood they were gone. I checked a few more times during the day. I logged back on at 5pm same day and one was there and I got him. He was 'grouped' with a tainted moth. This confirms as others have said, the respawn timer can be several hours to a full day. Hope this helps!

Kommentar von tangible

Finally found one of these little guys! To be completely honest, my attention span does not handle the whole camping thing very well. I had settled for stopping in on 2 different servers, about 3 times a day. Found him on Kul Tiras - US at 09:48 server time. He was the only one I saw, and I lucked out with him being uncommon quality. I had already decided to just be happy with whatever quality I got, so I was pleasantly surprised. Good luck finding your minfernal, everyone!

Kommentar von Prozergftw

ok so with the wall of comments i havent been able to read them all but i was told by a close friend a good way of looking for this pet.....

Make a lvl 1 NE on a low pop rp ealm
get a friend with a 2 person mount to give you a life to the spawn area (out of the way of nasty monsters)
leave group so you get sent back to your chars original realm
have fun trying to survive whilst searching the area for one (there should always be at least 1 on said realms)

hey presto you have your minfernal

one last thing PLEASE! have a stone (cant remember their name) to increase the minfernals rarity to rare handy so you will only need to enter battle with 1 and tame that first one leaving more for others that come by....

so this is Shamshamoo of Bronzebeard thanking Putka of Auchindoun, i couldnt of done this without you man and i am sure people around the world will be thanking you too when they get theirs using this method...

NOTICE! as always be respectful of levelers if you are transfered to that realm instead of the other way round do not go nuking everything in sight, and of pvp realms do NOT BE A $%^& and gank a lower level just going by his own buisness... thank you

Kommentar von 1106198

Got a rare one of these today. I camped for a few days on a flying mount over the middle of the 5 dots in the vale where they spawn and logged in every once in awhile to see if there were any. Tonight, I didn't see any paws on the minimap when I logged in, but decided to fly around the outer edge of the vale just in case, and there was a rare on the outer edge of the upper left dot! Tough fight, but I managed to get him with a team of three rare mechanicals, all level 16-17. If you've been logging on in the vale and giving up before you fly around a little to double check, you may have missed some opportunities, so take a few seconds and you might get lucky like I did.

Kommentar von franses

Log in on different chars, take the flight path from Orgimmar to Whisperwind, if you don't get battle with him. Fly to Nord then back to Wildheart. I did this 2 times and it worked, got a Uncommon pet which later I upgraded to Rare.

Kommentar von 838686

the CRZ no longer shows the pet since this tuesday. i flew over the zone on the flight path from org to felwood that flies you right over the zone and they are no longer there anymore. blizzard got smart -_-

Kommentar von 1109536

Does anybody know if catching Minfernal while on flight path, still works in patch 5.2? I managed to enter a pet battle with a random critter in Ashenvale, from the back of a orgrimmar wind rider.

Some days there are a few minfernals spawned, taking the flight path and some days there are not a single one up.

Anybody who has a good server or something and who wants to help me out?

If u have a character alt on Stormscale/Outland - EU, I will be able to reward you ^^ lol

Kommentar von Organthrone

Minfernal's been the last on my list for months. Logging in a couple of times a day to see if one appeared. Same with the Scourged Whelpling, just loads of cross-realmers camping the area. 5:55pm, server time, I was bored and browsing my UI when I saw one appear on the minimap. Without closing anything down, I flew in the direction of it rather clumsily, terrified that someone would get to it before me. Hit the ground, commenced battle. Poor, captured, happy. I've still got a battle-stone hanging around if I ever want to make it rare. I'm just after being a zookeeper for life.

Roll on summer, and the scores of people at the gates of AQ all over again.

Hi all

After looking for this pet for many, many, many long hours I finally nabbed him today!

He was walking around one of the pools in Felwood as detailed above.

I am on Hellfire sever and the server time was 12:55 when I nabbed him, just a few minutes ago. I hear that he spawns every 6 to 9 hours so you may want to start looking again in 6 hrs.

The little fellow I have is a green, but I will make him blue if and when a get a Flawless Battle stone.

Good luck out there, I know he's a pain to get, but keep camping.......!

Kommentar von 1113033

Got mine whilst killing EVERYTHING around those dark pools.

First an uncommon spawned, then a rare!

Kill EVERYTHING, circle and repeat, and get your minfernal :)

Kommentar von mek002

I have tried the fp from Hjyal/nord to wildheart/felwood and the spots they are showing for me are to high for me to even click and start the battle . Glad to hear its still working for others . Not giving up on this little guy . I have seen him before but i was to late to battle :(

Kommentar von 1012488

You can make a minfernal spawn in the Vale by flying slowly overhead at random times. I know this because it worked on my 67th attempt over several weeks.
Now for a word about the Minfernal as a Battle Pet:
It's Meteor Strike ability does do a fair chunk of damage but also has a high chance of missing when used against an opponent more than two levels over your Minfernal.
As for it's Explode ability - I was in the Valley of Four Winds the other night with my then-level 21 stone-upgraded pet, things are going well and it's just a bar-and-a-half from hitting 22 when I notice this shiny red button. "Hmmm, I wonder what this does?"

Oops...

Suffice it to say this ability is best avoided unless:
1. Lil' Mr. Fernal is already maxxed out and no longer needs the XP or
2. You feel that taking out your opponent in such a spectacular fashion is worth the sacrifice for the good of the team.
Happy camping yall!

Kommentar von 324969

I can confirm that targeting Minfernal from a flightpath still works. I just got a common one flying from Org into Whisperwind Grove. I had tried from Hellscreams Watch 5-6 times but couldn't hook up. Tried from Nordrassil and Moonglade into Wildheart Point but that didn't work either. Going from Org worked the first time. (Your mileage may vary) I made a macro:
/clear target
/target Minfernal
and bound it to #1 key and bound "interact with target" to #2 key. As you fly over the spawn area, spam #1 until you see a target in front of you and hit #2 and the battle will start if its close enough. After the battle, I was in Whisperwind and after a few minutes was disconnected but the Minfernal was still mine. Good luck all.

UPDATE: Looks like Blizz stopped this little trick. I tried the last three days and every time I was in range of a Minfernal, I got a message saying, "Pet battle already in progress." It sure was fun while it lasted.

Kommentar von aslaja

I just made an interesting observation. Every time I went to look for a Minfernal, there were no battle pets marked as available for battle in the area. Today however there were several Tainted rats around the craters. I thought I might at least level up one of my lower level pets so I killed a few of them and there he was, a Minfernal! He spawned in place of one of the rats.
It might have been a coincidence but anyway I suggest to give it a shot if something like that happens to you.

PS: My Minfernal was a poor quality and he came together with a rare Beetle. You can imagine the disappointment. Glad I chose the poor Minfernal as there were no more spawning after that. :)

Kommentar von 1018034

I have been searching for this pet for weeks now checking an alt camped in the area. Found one today on US Boulderfist at 2:22 AM server time early Tuesday morning before the downtime. I went to check one last time before logging, saw nothing except a Tainted Rat located at 39, 42. Out of desperation I started a pet battle with it, 2 secondary Tainted Rats popped up and i surrendered. Then out of frustration I moonfired the rat and to my surprise a Minfernal popped up next to me at 40, 42. Not saying to farm the rats, but confirming this is what happened for me. Just thought anything I could do to help people with this as it can get pretty hopeless feeling after a while :/

Kommentar von Ravenz79

Best advice - caught mine today
Make a macro / tar minfernal and also go to your hot key in game interface and hot key 'interact with target.'. Spam the hell out of those buttons as you are flying around since there is a lot of competition. Found mine running around the northern ridge hiding behind some tree. Good luck to you all and hope this helps!

Kommentar von 978011

I would like to add that this pet is a great tank overall and that it is great for battling mechanicals.
The magic - type passive makes them ideal for battling mechanicals because they can avoid taking lots of damage from abilities like Wind-Up or supercharged abilities.

This pet has a great combination of offensive and defensive abilities.
I typically use Immolate -- Immolation -- Meteor Strike ability set, because you have great DoTs and can avoid hard-hitting abilities.
Being a magic pet means that using Explode is a lot safer,due to magic type passive (see above).

The only ability that doesn't cope well with the others is Crush, as most (if not all) Dragon pets have at least Dragon - type ability which does extra damage to magic pets.
However, i have tested this pet against Dragon pets with the Crush -- Extra Plating -- Meteor Strike / Explode ability set (both Meteor Strike and explode work well in this situation depending on your strategy) and the Minfernal was more than capable of beating several Dragon pets.

Now about the desirable breeds,I really don't know which one is the best (personally my Minfernal is a 45% hp / 45% damage breed,and it works just fine). But , I believe that 45%/45% breeds and possibly the 100% hp breed perform better than the 20%/45%/20% and the 25%/25%/25% breeds.

Kommentar von Drauken

Just to confirm, it's still possible to get it using the flight method at patch 5.2

I used the flight path: Blackfathom Camp (Ashenvale) -> Whispering Groove

It took me some trials (3 times) i got it

Kommentar von TevishSzat

Hunt out the Minfernal because it’s cool, not because it’s effective. Like most battle pets, it has the potential to be useful, but if tiers form I’d be mighty surprised to see it in the upper half. Its first move, Crush or Immolate, is a choice between (Humanoid) damage now or (Elemental) damage over time while its second move is a choice between a long duration but small DoT and a defensive ability that you can’t maintain like Shell Shield and its ilk. The third move is no choice at all: Meteor Strike is a 2-turn move like Burrow or Lift-Off where the target is immune between beginning to execute. Explode, on the other hand, is blatantly suicidal: though admittedly it is for very heavy damage, it’s at best used for pure spite. I’d say the best move-set is either of the first abilities, Immolation, and Meteor Strike. Using Immolate with the Immolation is less damage in the immediate, but more ticking damage while you’re executing Meteor strike. Admittedly, taking Crush gives it three different forms of damage, but I doubt even that makes the minfernal really great.

It’s really a pity that this thing is lackluster, because it’s one of the coolest small pets in the game.

It does, at least, have a lot of breed options, though

Kommentar von Triffy

Either I was incredibly lucky tonight or since the new patch the spawn rate has been increased. I have tried every method published on this page, spent weeks camped out waiting, multiple times of the day and on multiple realms. Quite honestly, I had given up op this one. Today I was leveling alch on a new toon (Nagrand - Horde) and in need of purple lotus. While running around farming one of these pets runs over the herb i am trying to pick (would not have noticed it otherwise) - petbattle later I am the proud owner of a minfernal.
I have a look on the map, an I am in an area I haven't looked for these before. There are ruines just south of Whisperwind Grove (purple lotus grows around ruins) and this is where this chap spawned for me.
I started off by saying either lucky or upped spaw rate; took a run down to where I would usually expect to look for them, and there were 2 in close proximity to each other. The one one I chose turned out to be grey (the 1st one was common) and when the battle was over the other was nowhere to be found. 2 in one night with no camping and not really looking ...

Kommentar von Baelrah

Made a DK on a low pop RP-PVP realm, leveled through the starting area and now I can battle 2-3 minfernals each day to check for green/blues. Easy, not time consuming (except the 1-2 hour DK starting area), and no hassle with endless camping or macro's on flightpaths. Tried that about 10 times, but the flightpath was zig-zagging through the minfernals that were up, unable to reach them. If you really want one, go DK and look for a rare each day.

Kommentar von Zarasz

Today I flew from OG to whisperwind grove, from moonglade and from hellscreams watch and didnt see one. Did they hotfix this today?
Yesterday I saw them with this method.

Kommentar von Puresthoof

I cannot believe it! I actually caught one of these today and I am so excited I created a wowhead account so I could tell people and submit a screenshot! lol

After about eight months of having a lower level camped there and randomly logging on a couple of times a day, I finally found one! The adrenalin kicked in and I could not hear anything due to the blood rushing to my head! lol

So I believe you just need to be patient and also make sure you have at least 1 pet in your lineup that is over level 15!

Also thank you all who have posted their experiences catching any battle pet as it has helped me on my pet journey! :)

Kommentar von Cowina

Got one today! And it is green! I was camping it and picking herbs, battling tainted rats, etc. I decided to kill everything in the area as some have suggested. It seems to have worked. 10 minutes or so in my Minfernal showed up. After capturing it another spawned. I alerted a fellow camper who got theirs as well. Thanks for all the helpful posts. Good luck hunting!

I captured my Minfernal today after three months of trying. It was the second one I've seen in three months, the first was just a week ago, but I was so excited that time I lost it to another player. This time he popped up right in front of me as soon as I entered the game. I'll pass along some of what I've learned that I hope will be of use to you.

I succeeded using some of the tips others have posted, namely the /tar macro and having a flying alt live there and check in with it several times a day. I found that a mining alt made this a little less tedious plus made some gold selling the Mithril on the AH.

Using several of the flight paths posted here does indeed let you see Minfernals on other realms, but I found it impossible to get close enough to interact with them even though targeting them was easy. In addition, when I tried this on my own mount, using another combat pet, to get an idea of how close you have to be to interact with one; I found that you CANNOT interact with a pet while flying! You get a message that says "you must be standing to interact with that pet". (As in other cases, Bliz just means not in the air - mounted on the ground is ok). Perhaps this is a new change, but to me it makes the whole cross realm flying thing useless.

The CRZ (cross realm zones) do make this much more difficult. I don't know the exact number, but I've seen players from about fifteen realms all competing with each other for the Minfernal,

I used a lvl 17 Flayer Youngling to battle Minfernal, this worked fine, but if I had it to do over a lvl16 pet would be safer (you don't want to accidentally kill him). You can always switch to a higher lvl during capture if necessary.

The suggestion to use NPCSCAN is flat out wrong, because Minfernal is automatically added to your creature cache (along with surprise, surprise, Giraffe Calf & Qiraji Guardling) and cannot be detected by NPCSCAN.

Gave in to my curiosity and created a DK on a low pop server; this is what I learned:

The only true low pop servers are the RPPVP ones. Tried several others including ones marked for new players and non-US servers. Ebon Hold was crowded on these & I received continuous guild invites. On the RPPVP server I was alone most of the time.

I decided to send a little extra effort to get the XP & gold for flying in Kalimdor. Glad I did, not only was the searching easier, but there were enough high lvl enemy players around to ensure that I would have spent a lot of time dead.

Results: Two minfernals day one, one on day two & one a week later; a definite improvement, but no panacea! You still have to deal with the erratic spawn time of the minfernal and the occasional competing player from your own realm. NOTE: I said "occasional competing player", not the swarm hovering from a dozen different realms that you encounter in a CRZ.

If I think of anything else that might be helpful, I'll edit this post. Good luck to you all.

Edited 5/20/13 to add info on DK - Low Pop server.

Kommentar von f6f5hellcat

I really hate this pet been trying since the battle pets came out and still no minfernal. I really hate the CRZs as they have made thing like this extreamly hard to do. I will keep trying the flight path trick but I am not going to make a toon on another realm just to get this pet.

Kommentar von Kedrin

I got very lucky. It was ten minutes before a rolling restart, the wind was gusting, and there was the smell of sulfur in the air as I swooped into Felwood. And there in shatter scar vale at the northeast point was the minfernal, but it was "in use" with a Tauren druid. At first I felt despondent, but noticed that the infernal would start to walk again. This druid was "reserving" or "holding" the infernal for another player. Minutes past and I was unable to initiate a battle, but the fact that I was still able to click on it was promising. Finally, with 3 and a half minutes left until the rolling restart (the end of the world cometh) a blood elf approached. I clicked like a madman, I clicked for all it was worth, I clicked like it was 1999. And then the battle initiated. The minfernal was mine! If only it would rain on Jaguero Isle then my joy could be complete.

After finally getting this guy after 6 months, on 2 characters in one day, I'd like to share something that may or may not help you all.
I was hovering over (40.20, 40.30) and I noticed every 5-60 minutes a Tainted Rat would spawn under me. Quickly killing it to try and free up a spawn for the Minfernal, I noticed the rat would always spawn there. Being curious, I quickly killed every one I saw until- POP! A Minfernal spawned instead of the rat.
After jumping for joy for a good 40 minutes, I logged onto an alt that was camped there on another server in an attempt to possibly get the 3/3 allowed. I did the same thing, waited for the spawn at the same coordinates, and within 5 hours had a Minfernal spawn.

I don't know if it was just luck, or I may have caught onto something, but I figured I'd put it out there for others to test. Good luck! Now onto that damn Baby Ape...

Kommentar von Droner

Can anyone confirm what works and what doesn't in 5.3? It's very possible nothing has changed but I've tried all of these methods for a couple weeks now and have squat to show for it. I'm not close to giving up but I'd like to know if I'm wasting my time or not. Much obliged in advance. :D

EDIT: After some research and testing I got my Minfernal and determined that some combination of killing the tainted rats and slaughtering the infernals got this thing to spawn. I guess I made my own 5.3 confirmation, good luck to those still farming this guy!

Kommentar von Rj23

If you are pet collector you will appreciate this, but probably hate me for it. In my quest to capture rare pets a friend of mine began casing Jaguero Isle waiting for rain. We were in separate realms. She left a toon here and I left a toon here. Periodically we would check in and over the course of a couple of weeks she caught hers and I was offline :( We both kept a toon in hopes of rain. Finally the rain came! Not only did I catch my Baby Ape, but I caught a rare before the rain stopped.

Earlier she and I discussed some strategies for catching the Minifernal. I said, let me just go see if there is one there now. So I flew to Felwood. There were two in the area! I caught one that was uncommon. The other was poor, but it was still a Minifernal! So I cross realmed party with her and she caught it. To be clear there were none in her realm and she crossed to mine to catch it.

With this streak going I decided to look and see if there was a sand storm brewing in Tanaris. There wasn't in my realm, but in my friends realm there was. So we partied again and I crossed into her realm. I was able to catch a rare Silithid Hatchling. From beginning to end it took less than an hour. I am a very unlucky person, but i have to say this was some serious luck! I still cannot believe this happened!

If someone can teach me how to link in WoWhead I will go back and amend this story with links to each pet.

Kommentar von Imfluffehh

lol, I had a friend get this pet out while I got out my pet Netherspace Abyssal. theyre both the same size (which is HUGE) and it drew a lot of attention XD

Kommentar von erSch

The CRZ flight path trick does not seem to work any more in 5.3. I just flew a flight path, on which I successfully could start a pet battle in 5.2. I was directly over the minfernal and only a couple of feet over his head and it just said, that a pet battle was already active. The same happend with a rat later. I think Blizzard fixed it.
Can anyone confirm this?

Kommentar von hillerious

Haha this is so damn insane guys, i just went there and i waited max 1 min and then i spotted my minfernal. Happy as i was knowing i would catch it and then use my battlestone on it to upgrade i realised the minfernal itself already was a rare and knowing i could use my battlestone on a Jade owl instead. This made my entire day.

Kommentar von 1127206

The Flyby technique of spamming a "/target minfernal" macro and an "Interact with Target" keybind no longer works. You get a message about not pet battling on a transport.

However, the good old fashioned "Kill things until it spawns" seemed to work. But perhaps I just got lucky.

I went there the other day to start the farm. One was up. Fought it. Got spanked because I forgot to adjust my team (yes, I'm scrub). So I lost. Went out and started spamming murder on Tainted rats and Frogs and everything else I could find. Went back. Minfernal up in the same place. Fought it. Caught it. Went out and spammed more bloody murder on pets. Came back. Another Minfernal up. There was a level 90 night elf nearby though, so I killed it rather than let it fall into the wrong hands.

Kommentar von decembre

This has been mentioned before, but will mention it again in hopes it will help desperate pet seekers:

Make a DK on an RPPVP realm and leave them in Felwood.

Apparently these servers are not CRZ and have low populations.

After a few months of trying various strategies, a friend and I rolled two DKs and hustled them out to Felwood. We both logged on various times checking, and within a week had both found our minfernals.

Roll one on a server that is predominantly your faction. If you start getting ganked, save yourself the stress and just log off for the night.

Complete your meta! Hope this helps!

Kommentar von Wheeljack

went to Felwood for Archeology. While I was there, I figured I'd look for the Minfernal too. No Battle-Pet spawns of any kind in the area. I went to these boards to look for tips, spawn-times etc to see whether or not it only spawned under certain conditions etc...

I don't know if this is pure coincidence or not, but after reading abit here, I decided to run around killing critters that spawned. Maybe they are place-holders for the battlepets or whatever, but after killing about 7-8 of them, the Minfernal spawned up on one of the ridges there, right next to a tree. It had only 550 HP and me not having swapped any of my lvl25 pets I was afraid I'd kill it. Luckily I didn't. Got it caged, uncommon quality.

Not sure if it helps or not, but try to run around abit, look for critters (Tainted Rats) and kill them. Maybe you get as lucky as I did.

Kommentar von mek002

I have a question : Do you kill the rats in the area they can spawn in or just kill any rat you see in the zone ?

Kommentar von 17175

Been camping this little beast for sometime now - and have read many of the posts here on tips and tricks.

Just now however as I landed in Felwood to take a look I noticed no Minfernal but the rare Immolatus was roaming about. One Fel Flame later he was dead and instantly a Minfernal appeared. Now this could be pure coincidence but thought I'd report it anyway.

Happy Hunting.

Kommentar von Cexxi

After reading several posts I decided to start a DK on a RPPVP server. This is the secret to my success....

Roamed around the Minfernal spawning area killing tainted rats and battling the tainted rats that had a paw over their head. Kept doing this every 3 mins or so then about 20mins later or so a Minfernal spawned. Battled a poor (of course) and captured it, did a little dance (wife called me a dork), upgraded to an uncommon then parked my DK in Silithus for the summer Qiraji Guardling!

FYI....no one else was there while i was there and this was the first day of summer so im guessing everyone was camping the Qiraji Guardling

GL all

Almost 2 hours and nothing

Kommentar von EZHK

With the removal of the flight path trick (after all, we can't allow ingenuity to be rewarded!) creating a DK on one of the low-pop Brazilian or Latin American servers really does seem to be the best way to get one of these. Took me two days once I gave up on the heavily CRZ'd realms my normal characters are on.

It has the added benefit of allowing you to park the same DK in front of AQ for the Qiraji Guardling.

As far as all of the other tricks and methods for forcing spawns...allow me to introduce you to:

These spawn in mass during a server reset, not a restart but a reset. I got my three during a reset all rares, i would have left the other two, but noone was around... /shrug

Kommentar von mewmewface

hi guys, this is to confirm that the pet doesnt have to drop at a specific time, like restart or early in the morning..although the odds might be better.

That aside, I have been looking for this for about almost 10 hours straight, i had breaks every now and then but my searching was a tad bit frantic.

I saw this thread I tried everything even the macro attack on flight but that doesnt work anymore.

I just want to share this because im grateful and really exhausted.

From poster angra007

(525 – 2·5) on 2012/12/15 (Patch 5.1.0) Out of Date | Report
OK, everyone here is clueless... so i am going to explain the trick to get this very fast...
follow these on the order:
1) Kill all rats on the Shatter Scar Vale (this will open spawn slots)
2) Get out of the Shatter Scar Vale and player kill the Battle Pets around (toads, roaches, moths, whatever...anything u can battle, just kill it) (this will do battle pet spawn roll)
3) Go back to Shatter Scar Vale and wait for pet spawns.... rats will have now a chance to be switched by a battle pet of the area (Minfernal)
IF U ONLY KILL RATS U WILL ONLY FORCE THE SERVER TO PET ROLL AND NOT TO BATTLE PET ROLL

What I did was go around on my pally, killing ONLY rats ONLY ON shatter scar vale. So example I roamed around killing every rat I can see, I'd leave that place and do battle pets on other areas, mixing different pets. Example I'd go to Jaedanar and battle a moth, toad, cockroach, etc

Go back again to shatter scar to check, kill rats.

Go outside again and battle pets, rinse repeat..my minfernal spawned at 8:45 PM pacific time (peak time) on cho'gall US Horde. I received an uncommon, he was level 15. I have screenshots of the actual fight and the end of the fight to prove it was uncommon, but im not sure if wowhead will post it. I will submit it.
Again thanks to angra007 <3

Kommentar von 1069868

Got mine (uncommon) on 7/1 at around noon server time on Mannoroth at coords 38,69. It was the only one there and nobody else was around. I got it just randomly checking a toon I had parked there. First one I've ever even seen! Was starting to believe they didn't exist then I log in and see the little bastard stomping around.

For the past few weeks I've tried camping the area for hours, killing rats and battle pets in the area, and I also made a DK on gallywix. None of those worked and were VERY frustrating. I'd recommend just getting as many alts as you can parked there and randomly checking in.

Kommentar von Triniti

After camping for 7+ hours last night, I logged in today at 2:01pm EST to find 4 Tainted Rat's and finally a Minfernal (I got lucky, he was rare too!) in Shatter Scar Vale. Used a lvl 17 Arcane eye to easily capture him. GL guys!

Kommentar von Thromash

Hi guys, just caught this and a Qiraji Guardling on Jubei'Thos (PVP) was on Horde Orc Blood/Unholy deathknight named Deathknight.
It was 5:20pm Aus time on 8th July 2013. It was only a Common but I couldn't care less.
I flew down from Mount Hyjal on mount straight down to the area and ONE was there, was able to catch him right then and there, went off after that and caught the Guardling as I posted on that part of site. I did try the strategy stated about flying from Mount Hyjal fp to one in Fellwood and I did see them but continuously got shifted out of the realm before I got even close to them so I tried the way I mentioned before, at first there was nothing there but suddenly he appeared so yeah.

Goodluck guys.
-Deathknight.

Kommentar von Bellaryl

Hi Everyone...I know this is a tough pet to get, and I wanted to give some of you hope. I'm a Paladin on a high pop PvE server (Thrall), that uses CRZ. I was thinking I would have to start a new DK for this stupid pet! After camping the minfernal for about 8 hours, I found one (grey, but it counts...) at approximately 11:00 am server time. I don't know if the following helped, but I created a simple macro:

/tar tainted
/cast Judgment
/tar minfernal

I busted the chops of every tainted rat & moth in the area, and they're hard to see. I also had a /tar minfernal macro that I spammed as well.

Wishing you all much luck in obtaining this little guy.(##RESPBREAK##)2##DELIM##Sas148##DELIM##

Kommentar von yoshimario40

Oh my gosh, that indescribable feeling when you finally get one is insane!

Kommentar von Dramfiolz

Making a DK on the Ravenholdt-US server worked perfectly for me. It's not only RPPVP, it's also the only RPPVP server in its datacenter, so there are no other servers that are able to CRZ with it (as the CRZ groupings consist of all the servers of the same type in the same datacenter). The server itself seems pretty quiet. When I finished making my DK around 1am on a weeknight there were no players in Felwood at all. It was kind of strange being in the Minfernal spot completely by myself.

I waited around for a while and then decided to go to bed. The next morning I logged back in to check, and there was a Minfernal right in front of me. Still no other players present. As soon as I caught it, the server restart message went out, so this was not following a restart.

The roughly hour and a half it takes to make a DK and get out to Felwood is nothing compared to how long you might be waiting if you decide to camp the pet on a heavily CRZ'd server. I highly recommend this method.

ETA: The same morning I found an Unborn Val'kyr on Ravenholdt with no trouble at all. Just zepped my fresh DK to Northrend, flew to Dal, and ported down. There was one waiting for me. Still no sign of any players.

Kommentar von densmore

i just wanted to encourage campers out there. i got a poor quality one this morning on the Brazilian realm Gallywix. the traffic in felwood is pretty light; never more than five.

as far as i'm concerned there is no method to getting these to spawn, but however you want to use your time while you are waiting is up to you. the last great hope ended when Blizzard removed the flight path method with 5.2 patch; and is now confirmed to be 'fixed.'

increase your 'luck' by planting as many toons on different realms in felwood as pratical. i transfered to my current realm years ago but have decent toons on several other realms. so i was able to check many felwoods on a given day.

good luck out there and happy hunting

Always seen dozens of people camping this on my server. Went to Felwood myself at a couple server restarts, never found anything.

Rolled a DK on a low-pop RP-PVP server earlier today.
Took ~2.5 hours to get the DK to Felwood.
Took <5 minutes for a Minfernal to spawn once I got there.
I had just started to kill Tainted Rats; I hadn't even completed a full circuit yet!

Not sure if I got freakishly lucky on the spawn, but it was an easy catch since there was no competition around.

Kommentar von Lasuain

"These ill-tempered constructs of flame and rage sometimes rise from the remains of larger infernals who fall in battle."

I read many of the comments but wanted to try killing the Infernal Sentries as the description implies.

It took 13 minutes for one to show up but couldn't say for sure that it wasn't pure dumb luck.

Good Hunting!

Yay! Finally found one! Draenor at 7:30 am server time, 40,46. Logged in and circled around, one just happened to be sitting there waiting for me! :) Was poor quality, but hey, campers can't be choosers, and that's what the upgrade stones are for, right?

Happy Hunting!

Kommentar von caylithe

Having tried everything but making a deathknight to park there... and blaming camping for this pet for my candy crush addiction (two monitors, one with WoW up and one playing candy crush)

And Blizzard.. WTH... I jump on a flight point and use one their mounts, and fly over.. and there are all kinds of them spawned, I land and go back and none.. what a horrible tease that was....

ok.. enough whining and back to camping... hoping one day they will do a server restart when I am off work and able to log right on when it is done...

Kommentar von xhuli

I guess MyxomatosisFMs tactic doesn't work any more (August 2013).

I could target the Minfernals but got message: "You need to be closer to interact with that target".
Day after day they where too far.
I decided to try and test what will happen if they ever come into the right range, I tried the tactic with Besudelte Ratte. Got on a taxi and used this macro to target:
/cleartarget
#/tar minfernal
/tar tainted rat
When i tried to interact with the targeted tainted rat while on the taxi i got the message:

"Cannot pet battle on a transport"

Feel free to test this yourself

Kommentar von lcf80

After few days of trying at various hours and always seeing at least 1 or 2 people camping there I gave up... until today, cause fallen asleep early yesterday, and woke up about 5AM.

Kommentar von naet17

Been checking round Felwood for a little while now, trying to glimpse any Höllchen on Dragonblight and Darkspear servers with no avail, only having that usual heart skip when you see a green paw on your mini map for it to be just a Tainted Rat!

Then, just before logging over to another character to do some low lvl raid runs for other battlepets, i decide to hop over and have a look with my mage to see if any are about.

To my utter astonishment, i see a green paw on my mini map and for once it is a Höllchen!
So i land my flying mount as soon as humanly possible and jump into a fight with the elusive magical creature, prepared to take whatever rarity it happens to be and be grateful for it.
This isnt one of those stories where it turns out to be a rare version, but the one i pounced on was common, and i was happy with that, even though i had no stones at that particular time.
So i capture the creature with no problems, and then kill the uncommon tainted cockroach that accompanied it.

Then, to even greater astonishment, after the fight i see that i have not been rewarded with my usual 2-5x Lesser Charms of Good Fortune, but with a Makelloser Magiekampfstein!

Hows that for sheer dumb luck! :)

Kommentar von Shypull

Minfernal - how to - First if your just siting there for it to respwan good luck,
1. info - Minfernal is a "Rare Respawn" not a rare spawn time , meaning its a chance of it spawning in the area after a battle pet has been defeated or killed.
2. go around in the area of Shatter Scar Vale in side felwood ( this is were minfernal spawns) look for minfernal and kill any battle pets in this zone that are not minfernal (This will give more of a chance battle pets will spawn here)
3. go around killing battle pet in felwwod (all over) to lower the respawn time , you also need to kill diff types of battle pets, if you only kill frogs there will be a higher chance on just frogs respawning.
4. after about 20min of doing this head back to Shatter Scar Vale and camp for about 5 min

in 3hrs 6 Respawned Minfernal

Kommentar von prozacmilkshake

Okay I HAD to make an account to help you guys out.

I've been trying to get this little dude for months now, like a few months.
I would sit and camp the spot for hours and hours and hours.

I decided to try something new, I made a DK on a very low populated PVP realm in a different battlegroup.

When I first got to the spawn point there were none so I gave up and tried for the baby ape. Well I decided to log on and BOOM there was my Minfernal, the first day I made the DK and I got it.

Keep your heads up!

Kommentar von Auryan

My solution was rolling a DK on a low pop Oceanic realm (I'm Eastern Seaboard USA) and parking him in Felwood. Over there it's like 3 or 4 am when I'm having lunch, so the odds of having a bunch of people in the zone are greatly reduced. Sure enough, after a couple of hours riding around killing everything that moved (even non battle pet critters), a minfernal popped up. Grey quality but I didn't care, just wanted the pet. Good luck in your hunt!

Kommentar von Xapcadian

Hey guys,

I caught my minfernal in about 20 minutes. No tricks. Nothing fancy. Here's what I did.

Cruise around Shattered Scar Vale only killing all the rats you see. You're not looking for battle pets, just regular critter rats. I would say that I killed maybe 40 or 50 before a Minfernal popped. Admittedly it's an uncommon, but I have one.

Clearing the critters does prompt the battle pet 'Minfernal' to spawn.

Happy hunting.

Kommentar von Anouk199

Camped this for 2 months then took the advice "kill all the other critters and battle pets". Ran around, AE'd about 10 other battle pets and critters, came back...and there was my minfernal (uncommon). Kill the other battle pets!

Kommentar von 1139498

I camped and camped and camped and finally just starting killing everything out of pure frustration. About 30-45 minutes of killing everything in the area that moved not just one but TWO minfernals spawned. I caught one and left the other for someone else. Do yourself a favor and kill things, pretty sure it forces it to spawn.

Kommentar von Alekeymon

To add in my 2 cents:

I followed the advice, killed all the tainted rats (critters) I saw. I saw one battle pet tainted rat--killed that too. Nothing. Granted it was a half-hearted attempt while I was questing and I thought I'd have to do some camping and hope for the best.

I went back to questing and got stuck--literally between a rock and a hard place. I couldn't get out. I hearthed to Org and flew back to Whisperwind Grove. On the way, I moused over the battle pets and saw a Minfernal. As soon as I landed, I raced back to Shatter Scar Vale. I found one, battled, and captured. It was a poor quality but I also received a magic flawless battle stone, so I used it on him.

I got mine on a level 51 hunter at 15:49 MDT on the Hyjal server. I hope this helps

Kommentar von blamlock

A note about this pet's very powerful leveling ability Explode (which it currently shares with one other Magic pet and three Mechanical pets):

If you use a max level Minfernal as a front pet, all the way through a wild pet battle, and successfully Explode and kill the last pet of the opposing team, you can avoid swapping your very low-level pets in for one round (and the associated risks).

Your two back line pets will share the XP between them without ever seeing battle.

That said, the mechanical pets that have this ability tend to have basic attacks more suited to PVE encounters than the Minfernal. If I'm leveling this way I generally swap in the pets I have with Explode until they're all dead - and then use a bandage or the heal... and repeat.

Happy Nuking.

The Felwood/Minfernal top ten Jerk list

Number 10. Anyone not from your server. Append number 10 to the end of each of the following for more jerk satisfaction.
Number 9. The guy that gets so overcome with boredom he displays his Diplomat title and heads north tagging furblogs, staying one step ahead of the poor guy farming feathers.
Number 8. That team of low level questing noobs that come rolling through Shatter Scar aoe'n, thunderclapping and killing everything in sight while you cringe at the thought of seeing a green paw pop up on your minimap for 3 seconds and it quickly disappears. You know the type, displaying helms, mix-matched questing gear, doing "flex" emotes at each other...all from the same guild. Don't forget to add in Number 10 here.
Number 7. The guy sporting S1 transmog gear displaying the Scarb Lord title...sitting down there on his Swift Zulian Tiger dancing with his rare level 25 Minfernal.
Number 6. The guy that whispers everyone, "Hey are you really AFK?"
Number 5. The guy that apparently just got there and asks in general, "Did anyone get their Minifernal today?" First of all you know whoever answers yes would be long gone, and to add even more jerkness to this guy you recognize his chat from the day before because of the extra "i" he puts in Minfernal.
Number 4. Cursor over that Tainted Rat...do you see the little asterik after his name? I knew it was from some other realm all this time.
Number 3. The guy that suggested creating a DK on a less populated realm, doing the starter quests, running it over to Shatter Scar only to realize you had no idea what a battle group is. Then you look up and recognize all the familliar toon names that you have been staring at the past few days. THEN you realize that you have just become entry number 2.
Number 2. You, that jerk that made the DK from some other realm CRZ'd on your home realm.
Number 1. Finally...Im the number one jerk for minimizing WoW, writing this goofy stuff and missing the chance of my Minfernal

Kommentar von cmacord

I have a B/B Minfernal, but I would prefer a H/H, so I sortied back out to Felwood to try my luck. The *second* I hit the Vale, my alarm went off, and I looked down and found myself on top of a Minfernal. I immediately bailed and clicked on him - it was a H/P, which is a good deal better than my B/B, so I captured him. I released my B/B, and will continue to hunt for a H/H until I find one or get bored....

It was around 0150 ST on WRA server.

After getting my Minfernal today, I thought I would add to the posts here.

My advice about farming this battle pet:

Since this is a highly sought-after pet, you will be competing with a plethora of people that want to catch this pet as much as (or more than) you do. Log in to farm at a time where most people are asleep.
I have read so many strategies about farming, and the argument I seem to hear often is that this pet (despite what it's cute little icon describes) does NOT spawn when you kill their taller brethren (the Infernal Sentries). So your best bet to make sure one way or another: Kill everything. I killed Entropic Horrors, Infernal Sentries, Tainted Rats, and anything else that got in my way.

I logged in at 4:33am. I captured my Minfernal at 4:59am. I killed everything, and was making complete circles around all 5 craters. I was edging around the northern-most crater when I noticed the green paw after killing an Entropic Horror.
I believe that the text refers to the fact that when the Minfernal spawns, it does so in the ruins of it's larger counterpart... After I killed the Entropic Horror, that is exactly where it was standing. That's why I think you need to kill everything... Killing the Infernal Sentries may not trigger the spawn, but it needs a dead one to build itself when the spawn is triggered...

I have just found 3 of these on a low populated server, all up at once!
Considering the heavy hunting of these guys I'm not sure whether there has been a change in their spawning pattern or if it was actually possible to find severan Minfernals up at once earlier (in theory).

If you still don't have one of these, they should be fairly easy to find now, at least on a low populated server.

Kommentar von travisgezell

ok so i have been farming minfernal for 2 days and i can promis that if you do exactly what i did then u can easily get a spawn in less then an hour
day 1 killed every critter and battle pet in shatter scar vale that was not a minfernal, just ran around killing anything that moved that was not and infernal sentry or antropic horror and after about 30 minutes a poor quality minfernal spawned and i did capture it and upon switching to a different pet to finish off the other 2 in the battle i had a massive brain fart and fled from the battle the minfernal did not respawn so i had to continue farming and again after 30 to 45 minutes of killing any and all critters and battle pets in the area another poor quality minfernal spawned and this time i captured it and won the battle
told some friends about this and helped them kill critters for about 30 to 45 minutes and got another spawn and continued to do this 4 more times in total on 2 different days in a matter of 7 total hours i was able to get a total of 7 spawns for minfernal i can not promis that killing critters made it spawn but i can promis that if you run around killing critters for about an hour or so you will see one spawn

happy hunting

Kommentar von Dalk

Been farming this for a while now.
Captured a Besudelte Ratte and decided to call it "Heart Attack". Other Minfernal farmers will understand...

EDIT: Finally got my perfect H/H Höllchen masterbreed pet! Decided to call him Period, because he only comes once a month, and when he's suppose to comes, he's late...

Kommentar von 776540

Caught my poor condition one today right before rolling restarts. I literally had 3 minutes left untill restart.

Kommentar von Jeolene

So, I have no real useful info to give here, other than the useful info I put down a long time ago, but I noticed as of late that if he is in water, he gets really upset about it and starts "growling" really loud... and it does not stop.

I only noticed when I was on Timeless Isle and doing one of the underwater events, had him out and I was trying to figure out what the noise was coming from. He does NOT like water :P

Kommentar von ilostmahbucket

Just got mine with the kill all rats in shattered scar, killing all battle pets outside scar strategy. After killing the 12 rats in scar, I'd go kill some 20-25 battle pets outside and come back and wait. Took me about 1.5 hours on a very high pop CRZ server. I don't think the DK RPPVP strat is faster anymore.

Kommentar von Methusalar

Just done the RPPVP method and can recommend it!

facts and figures:

been looking on and off for the Minfernal on my main realm (Doomhammer) for 3+ months and no luck. Whenever I tried killing all rats and other pets, someone else would be camping the site, so no point there.

made a DK on a low-pop RPPVP server (Ravenholdt) and got it as soon as I made it up to Felwood.

Took me about 2-3 hours all in, but if you've done the DK starter area before and know DK spells/abilities etc, you could probably do it in not much over an hour.

For me, it's a no-brainer - 2 hours with a 'guaranteed' result or spending weeks and months for nothing.

Kommentar von stickshift

I'm beginning to think this is just a cruel ruse and you're all Blizz employees laughing at me.

Kommentar von iPoe

Finally! I've seen it spawn twice and I was fortunate enough to score it the second time! Between 8:50 and 9:00 either a.m. or p.m. EST. Got mine this morning! Kilrogg! Coalesced realms are a terrible bane when you're rare spawn hunting!

Kommentar von 1019463

Hi,

I usually don't post comments here, but after this discovering I had to do it. After a lot of travels in different days trought Shatter Scare Vale and some hours camping there I decided to follow some tips found here and there. I started to kill Sentries AND all the critters around the area (mainly tainted rats and moths). Believe me, after 10 mins it was there! The awesome Minfernal! You can say it's just coincidence, whatever... Try to follow this lead take your own conclusions.
Nice hunting!

Kommentar von LandeLando

Got mine a minute ago. Was a poor quality, H/H. Ironically, I first heard about him today. My realm (Tol Barad) is listed as Medium pop but it's because it just does have many characters created on it, not actual player traffic. With less people to farm it, you're obviously at higher chances - so if you REALLY want this one, go and create a DK on a really, really low player traffic server. Many people go to low-pop servers to farm pets and other stuff, but you're aiming at a low traffic server. Ask your guildies, check the forums, everything counts. Once you find that realm where you're at Orgrimmar or SW in the middle of the day and it looks like it's far past midnight, then you're at the right place.

Head to Felwood, go around killing (with character abilities, not battling) either battle pet rats or random non-battle (yellow name) critters around the place, don't know if really does help but everything counts if there's a chance to make Minfernal spawn. I spent literally 10min doing it, don't know if I made him spawn or he was just there, but he was there. Looks like he doesn't come as a secondary pet, you'll see him right away. Keep an eye on your minimap, it helps alot and that's how I found him (I was walking and facing the other way). If you go around flying you'll probably miss some creatures on your minimap because they take like 2-3 seconds to show there, and one of them could be Minfernal. That's a risk I'm not willing to take, so I went with my ground mount.

I'm sure many of these things I just wrote were already said here, but think of this as a post putting it all together. I got a Flawless Battle-Stone earlier, was thinking about wich pet I should upgrade... Thank god I saved it.

I'm sorry for any english mistakes, it's not my main language and I'm trying to do my best to help everyone and for you guys to understand me.
I'll submit a screenshot of mine at the very place I found him: near the river where you find some toads. He walks a little weird, looks like he's glitched.
Good hunting!

Kommentar von 1149744

I just got Two!
One for myself and i engaged another until a friend got there and surrendered when he arrived so he could get it.
locations
47, 39 (i saw another but someone else got it wile i was battling) and
45, 41

it really is worth it. i went there on a whim just to see. waiting for restarts and maintenance is truly a waste of time. just check at odd intervals. while everyone wants to camp on tuesdays, surprisingly few people are there on a wednesday. only take one. yes i went after two but i only captured one for myself and surrendered the other so a friend could take it before it was nabbed. battle stones make any pet potentially rare. dont be greedy. these are seriously elusive devils.

Kommentar von demondancer08

Does this pet show up by itself or with others?

Kommentar von 480715

I don't comment too much on here, only if I have something useful.
I often don't really believe a lot of things people say on here, I always see it as "that worked for you but it doesn't work for me thing" - maybe I'm just impatient. I'm probably just impatient.

Well, I tried the method of killing battle pets on Anachronos (medium PvE server; there were about 5 people camping and staying still), and it worked. I don't know if it was just chance, but I was there and looking for about 10 minutes before I read these suggestions. I flew around the shatter scar vale and the areas immediately outside and killed all the battle pets and critters I came across, and after 15 minutes of doing this, it spawned.

When people kept saying "kill battle pets" I didn't really know if they meant defeat them or just kill them, but I decided, through lack of honour, to just kill them with fireballs. I did this for 15 minutes until POOF, a little minfernal (poor quality, unfortunately, but, hey, battle stones!) appeared.

Make sure you've got the right pets lined up - either of the same level, or get your Terrible Turnip out. If you have to forfeit the match to rearrange your pets then you risk someone else catching it, and if you accidentally use a powerful 25 and kill it, you might start crying.

As always, this is just what worked for me. I don't know if it actually made a difference or if it was chance, but I followed the advice of others and it worked.

Kommentar von inyu

Just got one the first time I visit this place... I feel so sorry for those people in crowded CRZ :S
It was an uncommon one, not rare. For anyone interested it was in Tyrande .

Kommentar von HavenCeles

Realm: Sentinels
Time: 4:45pm EST
Co-ord: 42, 36 (stand of four pillars)

Total of 6 that I saw wandering around the place. I was really surprised that there wasn't anyone else there trying to catch them, but Felwood was completely dead. Hopefully some other lucky people stumbled across the others and got theirs.

2 Minfernals, both green.
(1 for me, and 1 for a guildmate)

Kommentar von buggysdad

I'm not sure if it's related but i camped Minfernal for months now and i got bored and went on a rare killing spree in Felwood, killed 5 rares in the zone, and when i got back 2 had spawned.

Kommentar von Gypsysoul

Just got mine after camping for 2 hours. He spawned near the big fiery quest guy. It was the only one in the area and I waited around for another 10 minutes and no more spawned. I did go around killing any battle pet that spawned if it wasn't the Minfernal. Greymane server 2 a.m. server time.

Kommentar von 657368

I have found several.. And in all cases there were 3 grouped tainted cockroaches over by the road near the big pool of green sludge. And also in all cases I killed those tainted cockroaches and within 2 minutes one had spawned. Finally got an uncommon after killing a few that weren't upgrades .. kinda hurt to kill them but .. meh.. poor quality hurt more lol

Kommentar von mtrettin

Finally got one tonight! =) This was my experience:

I have been checking for this pet periodically since the release of MoP and have never seen one. I had not checked the spawn points for quite a while and I was about to log around 2:20am server time and decided to check for the minfernal. I flew around and there it was, just 1 by himself, not in a pack as others have sometimes described. I used a level 14 pet to get him in the capture range, he was easy to take down (in fact I was sort of afraid I would get an unlucky crit and do him under haha). The one that I found was a level 14 grey quality but I plan on upgrading him. Good luck, my advise is just keep checking back and you will most likely get one eventually, don't drive yourself mad by trying to camp the spawn.

If you have an alt that you don't play much, park him at the spawn point and check it every now and again.

Kommentar von woman2th

Found my minfernal this morning 11-12-2013. By himself in Felwood, Shatter Scar Vale. coordinates 46, 38. At 8:35 am realm time.
Good luck everyone :D

Kommentar von Vandrir

I started camping on 11\14\2013 around 11PM. All I did was to circle the area where the impact craters are and scan for a Minfernal. At 1:22AM I spotted my first one. He was a level 14 and had a rare moth with him. I was not prepared for the battle since I didn't have a team set up and ended up losing the Minfernal by being beaten by the moth. I went ahead and camped for another hour with no luck and gave up for the night. I logged in the next day at 2:40PM and started camping again. At 4:30 PM I spotted another one and this time was ready with a team that I had setup specifically to fight a level 13-15 team. I captured him with no problem. Things of interest. The first battle he was with just one other pet. The second battle there were three. The first one was found at 45.02 \ 42.95 and the second was found at 42.73 \ 41.91. I tried killing as many critters as I could but that didn't seem to work. In the end I just stayed flying in one spot and that seemed to pay off. Good luck to everyone who is searching for this one.

Kommentar von Gargoyle

Finally got mine today. Got tired of seeing seven or eight people hovering around camping this. Rolled a DK on The Venture Co, since it's a RP-PVP server....therefore no CRZ, did the quests to get to Ogrimmar. Took flight path out to Felwood, rode my horse out to the spot...no minfernals, but no other players either. Logged out, checked the next day, nothing. Third time was a charm, there were six. First one I battled was a rare H/H. I would have left at that, but no one else was there, so I farmed B/B and P/P breeds as well, non-rares.

Kommentar von Dillioney

Hi, luckily I didn't have to wait too long for this fella to pop up. I tried first thing in the morning and late at night, but after a random log in at 2:30pm there was just one on the map. Panic set in as I swooped down but I captured a green Minifernal!

So for detail, it was 2:30pm UK time, Blade's Edge EU server, in the green pond on the ridge just above the three green ponds.

Just Silithid Hatchling and Snowy Owl to go for the Zookeeper title.

Good luck, Dill

Kommentar von ElicaQT

I FINALLY got this one (9.30 am game time)! I highly recommend you to create a macro to easier find it; type "/macro" in chat to open up the macro window and write "/tar Minfernal" in the macro. Simply click it once in a while when you fly around the area (I experienced a small latency with the battle pet icon to pop up on the minimap, so you could miss one).

Use a Übelrübe with the attack "Weakened Blow", so there's no way you can kill the little bugger by accident.

Second suggestion is that you dont camp the area for hours. The boredom and frustration will kill you. Have a char parked there and login once in a while (this is what I did and I got the pet on the 2nd day on this certain search period). If you're using all your chars, use your druid if you have one and portal to Moonglade and fly the short distance.

Also, it says these can spawn by killing the big ones. I did try this and nothing happened, maybe I was just unlucky. Another theory is that you kill the battle pets in the zone cus the zone can only take a certain amount of battle pets. I tried this as well and yeah new battle pets seemed to pop up fast, but no Minfernal (I only tried this for about 15mins).

Kommentar von Frostrage

This annoyed me so much. I flew to whisperwind grove in Felwood so I can camp there the following morning to find this pet. As I flew above I saw about 3 - 4 of these little guys. I quickly got on my mount upon arrival and returned ready to capture one... and they were all gone..:o What the hell? :(

Kommentar von 1115865

I just caught mine, I swung by around 4:30 am and there it was.

Kommentar von speizzer

Flavor text:
"...sometimes rise from the remains of larger infernals..."
I'm not sure if this holds value or is just flavor, but I flew around the pools killing infernals for ~5 minutes and mine spawned ON the corpse of one. Could be chance, just throwing it out there.

Kommentar von koko992001

Thanks to the input of other players here, I parked my main at 46, 38. Yesterday morning, around 9:30 Central Time (Cenarion Circle), I ran around killing everything I found in the area...battle pets, tainted rats, etc. Nothing spawned. After about 30 minutes of this, I parked myself in the spot and then just occasionally logged in. Woke up at 2:30 am, checked, and the Minfernal was literally right next to me. Captured it, logged out, and then logged in on my husband's account to try to get him one. No other Minfernal to be found. Woke up again right before the server reset, and no luck. Finally, around 7:30ish today (on a Sunday morning), logged in again. It was not at 46, 38, but wasn't far away. Did the killing of other spawns in the area help it to spawn? Not for us, but there's nothing that says someone else wasn't there killing spawns (though I didn't see them). I think what helped us the most was getting on at odd hours when most people would be sleeping to look for the Minfernals.

Now to go find an Arctic Fox Kit...

Kommentar von jstrahan

I spent several months on Hydraxis, maybe a couple hours a week looking for this guy. Not even ONE sight. I then created a DK on the Venture Co. server and got an uncommon one after only 3 visits, a total of about 5 minutes with this alt (after DK Jail, of course).

Kommentar von connorsdad

So I camped for this guy for three days in a row and got him on my last day. I did not kill any pets or enemies. Friday 1 spawned around 11:30 server time, Sat 1 spawned around 11:45 server time, and Sun 1 spawned around 12 server. So it looks like the pet will spawned within 15-30 minutes of 24 hours from the previous spawn. They all spawned in the same area, right by the big tree at 44, 41. Actually a bit to the right of the tree. Oh, and it was a poor quality one, but who cares I got the achievement.

The flight path method won't work anymore either, I tired that and it said "Can not battle in transport" or something like that.

Oh yeah, I also used a macro for easier targeting

/cleartarget
/tar minfernal

then set keybinding as "Interact with target" to number 2

Kommentar von Heimdallen

I looked for this pet for a little over a year basically every time I played, which is probably about 4 times a week on average over that time, on my primary server, Dalvengyr, which was very, VERY low population for the majority of that time. It was common to have less than 50 players online (alliance side) during prime time, from 6 pm to midnight. Despite that incredibly low number, every time I checked in Felwood there were always at least a couple players, horde or alliance or both, flying circles over the Minfernal Spawn area, so competition was still fierce.

I gave up on Dalvengyr only a week ago, and made a DK on both Ravenholdt and Venture Co., and parked those DKs right around 44, 41 and proceeded to log on and check a few times a day. Within a week, I logged on Ravenholdt and there was a Minfernal literally under my feet. Couldn't believe my luck. It was at 5:45 pm EST and I quickly captured him, a rare Power/Speed variety.

I highly recommend making a DK on Venture Co. and/or Ravenholdt (or perhaps any RP server with low pop as that seems to be the key) and taking the time to break it out of DK jail and park it in Felwood around 44, 41. I know other people who have had the same experience, searching for months or years on their PVP servers, be them low medium or high population, and then try one of these two servers and find their Minfernal in days. The couple or few hours it takes to break the DK out and get to Felwood is well worth it, in my opinion. Good luck!

Kommentar von Bloodfart

Normally im not one to gloat.......but would you believe...I got an ashes of alar drop...an hour later just happen to see and capture a minifernal ( a grey but who cares )......and then 3 val'kyr ( sadly all female ) over the next two days.....

I had long since givin up on the mount and the pet....

I guess all wow wanted was surrender :/

Kommentar von Aksius

Worked for me like this :
There was tainted rat critter (not a battle pet just critter) roaming where the spawn of the minfernals is. I killed it few times and on that spot i got the minfernal and no rat. Must say it has more than a minute respawn timer so i was also roaming around killing other critters. It was done on Eu- Frostmane at 2:00 AM server time and I think it really has something to do with the spawn timer of other critters. I saw another one the previous day at 1:00 AM also but while trying to tame it my pet killed it with a crit ( I smashed my monitor when i saw that :D) I hope this will help you and I am not sure if it has a spawn timer it seems to me more like it has to do with respawns of critters and other battle pets roaming around.
P.S you can use any pet to tame it with a high damage attack. He will not get 1 shoted because it is a magic pet.(u need to hit it at least 3 times in order to kill it). If you use a pet with multiple attacks like Verbeulen you might kill it if you get a proc.

Kommentar von fleshfurnace

I would like to add, after searching multiple times and spending a lot of time searching for this pet that since pets are account wide, you can log out multiple characters in the zone from different servers to have a much better chance at finding one of these. This was one of the last pets I needed and since i have multiple characters on a handful of realms I decided to leave 5 different characters in the same spot hoping to get lucky. I logged in after a nights rest to find one right next to me :) I wish i would have thought of this sooner!

Kommentar von 1211696

I left an alt flying above the spawn area (on home realm, which is medium/high pop) and waited. I once saw one minfernal, but another guy was too fast. There were always other players around.

I checked my home server and a few other servers that I had 90s on. I checked at 6am, 2am and normal hours. I checked after Tuesday maintenance as soon as my server came up, and I checked after server restarts due to "game play issues." Nothing.
So I did as many others have suggested... I made a toon on a RP server.

I only ever saw 2 other DKs (also level 58) in all the days farming, but they didn't hang around for more than a couple minutes. So I started killing noncombat critters and critters you could battle in the area & nearby areas, then I started killing Infernal Sentries, and then I started killing Entropic Horrors too. Nothing. Sure, I'd get the occasional battle Tainted Rat to spawn in the Shatter Scar Vale area... but no Minfernal. And I did this *a lot.*

I logged in today. Didn't bother killing anything at all. Started reading my book. Looked up and saw a paw! It was a minfernal! I captured it and started riding north (to mail off my heirlooms)... there was ANOTHER minfernal! And then I rode a little to the west... and a THIRD minfernal. I got my husband to log in to get 1 of the others.

By this time, I kinda knew all the critter spawn points for the tainted rats, so I went back around to look to see if the rats were up or not... and the rats were all up. All the Entropic Horror and Infernal Sentry mobs were up too, and I didn't see any type of corpses in or around the Shatter Scar Vale area. I did "/who 1-99 Felwood" and only saw myself (though I guess maybe a cross realm person wouldn't show up, but I also hadn't seen anyone around).

So... although killing mobs & critters can't hurt - as long as you don't blindly AE or get really far away if others are waiting at the spawn poin.... I don't think killing anything is required to get the Minfernals to spawn. If there is a cap on the number of mobs or something, I think rares have their own separate count.
Good Luck!

edit: a little over ONE hour later, I notice another paw... I rode around... 2 more minfernals had spawned! >< I've camped them in stretches of many many hours, but I guess their spawn timer can vary or something. One of the newer spawns was exactly where I tamed the first one.

Kommentar von 182693

Kill ALL of the Tainted Rats you can find (including the non-battle-pet critters). As long there is a Tainted Rat spawned, you will not likely get a Minfernal. Killing an undetermined (yet all you can find) number of Tainted rats will eventually cause a Minfernal to spawn. It took me about 10 minutes to achieve this and I really wasn't expecting it. The next day I went back and repeated this, so I am going to rule out random chance.

Kommentar von TriumphForks

For everyone getting fed up trying to get one on CRZ realms. I eventually decided to make a death knight on a new Brazilian realm. As soon as I got out of the starting area I went to Felwood, and there was a Minfernal right there...after camping for days on my main server and never seeing one.

I've read other people doing this with EU realms, and it does seem to work.

Kommentar von Bazzolbrush

Hey Everyone who is Farming Minfernal

the best way to get this little bleeder is by killing all the creeps u can find!

for about 20minutes solid i killed every critter i found around the area of shatterd scar vale, and just past the river where the little green oozes are, and it finally spawned!

forget all the rest of the comments, i read this comment from some1 and it actually works! no camping but critter farm killing.

P.S u might want a friend to tag it, or kill the critters for u, as 2 alliance were flying nearby as i was killing critters and checking out if it spawned! so maybe a friend can tag it for u

Happy Huntings, hope this helps

Kommentar von TotalMindcontrol

Just found this little one while leveling my first 25 Team (currently 15). Seems it spawned with Immolatus. If you find Immolatus try looking for the Minfernal

Kommentar von stoferstoff

in the case of the minifernal, like many other rare spawns, its spawn timer is not randomly long, it depends on the number of other battle pets in the zone. I caught 2 in under a half hour by battling other pet spawns all over the zone (mostly in irontree woods, abundant number in close proximity) and returning to shatter scar vale after every couple of fights to check for a minifernal spawn. some say you don't actually have to battle, you could just go around simply killing the battle pets you see, but either way, don't waste time camping

Kommentar von elaNge

low pop rppvp server = 2ez

Kommentar von Chaospaint

My 2 Cents (Keep in mind I'm a long time collector,been playing for years and have tons of patience)

Over the past year or so I've tried for this pet by parking toons across various servers here and just occasionally checking. To no avail. Tried all the tricks of killing and battling etc.

Today i finally got the pet.

What i did was i went to a RPPVP Server with a Low Pop. Made a DK (Like most of the posts say) Sat through leveling it through the starting zone. Got out, went to Felwood and saw nothing. Started killing critters and battled 2 rats and bam. Finally got it.

Ill be completely honest i resisted doing it this way for a long time but as someone with a lot of patience i gotta say. If you've got the time and want it bad enough just do what i did. Level a DK on a low pop RPPVP server and get it.

Kommentar von johnnycashed

I was with a friend farming one of these Minfernals while the server was having problems with staying connected. We fllew to Felwood to get it and as we was circling we found 2 of them spawned less then a couple yards away. She went to battle hers and it keep saying Failed to create Pet Battle. So we set for a min and waited till it was working. She battled it and killed it by mistake. She felt so bad her one chance of getting it and the pet spell overkilled and it died. I battled the other one and won it she grats me and we left to find other rare spawns. It was getting late she said she was going to logout at the spawn point and talk to me in the morning. While we was sitting in vent talking as she flew to logout. She said NO WAY I was like what? I found one. I said wow good luck catching it. She battled it and won and she said its a poor but guess what I got a battle stone for magic pet. I was in awe. So she was lucky and got a rare after all...

Kommentar von zenshu

Got mine at 4:13 AM server time on Garona US. Spent about an hour randomly killing everything in the zone after successfully farming up an Undead stone for my Unborn Valk'yr and decided to spend the last couple of hours before bed looking for the minfernal. Spawned at Coords 42,42, lucky no one else was around because I forgot how rare they were and just stared for a few seconds marveling at the fact that is almost glanced over it because I was looking for a tiny pet not this huge "by comparison" guy. Promptly beat the crap out of him with my turnip and caught him, around then another Mage showed up looking for the minfernal so I hung around to help her look for one as I continued murdering everything in the zone, no more spawns for the 45 minutes - 1 hour we spent looking for a second spawn for her. So I guess what I am trying to say is it doesn't look like killing everything will help you with a forces spawn but at the same time can it really hurt?

Kommentar von globalgirl1977

Definition of ironic:
Stationed an alt in the Shattered Scar Vale for months (about a year), checked regularly for a Minfernal spawn, killed umpteen other Tainted Rat battle pets hoping to push the respawn time up... Come on here last night getting ready to try that fly-over thing only to learn that Blizzard cancelled it... felt despair and hopelessness that I would never get my Minfernal and my various achievements....
Logged on this morning, flew around for 2 mins and **BAM**... nailed that sucker. Poor quality but I don't care! Even had a hordie yell at me... guess he was camping.
Moral of the story: Be patient, it will happen - most likely when you are about to totally give up.

I was flying through adding to my collection with Tainted Moth and Rat. Thought I would fly over and look since I hear horror stories. I stayed 15-20 minutes (11:15am to 11:28am). At the last moment, as I was about to fly off, one spawned and I snagged it. Got lucky with an Uncommon. I am beginning to think it is just RNG. Keep your chin up if you don't have yours yet.

Found an uncommon at 46,38 @ 2:23pm server time. I was bouncing back and forth from Winterspring to Felwood searching for rares. Can't be picky with rarity on this one. Take what you can find.

6.17am EST on Azuremyst server. After having two characters parked, I just got mine. He was just south of the southernmost crater.

Kommentar von 1dobbyduskwood

I tried camping this, spent 4hours on several occasions, it did not work. I read tons of comments saying you could kill other pets in the zone to get it to spawn. I got 2 friends to kill pets while I waited, after 2 1/2 hours, none had spawned. I finally parked my 80 twink there and just logged in from time to time. Got one today, common, but I don't care.

Now my twink gets to go singing in the...oh...wait...its not raining yet...poo...well...off to my monkey business.

Kommentar von Darlanio

Was able to catch mine today (normal, white, quality - upgraded it with flawless battlestone) when relogging my 7 alts on diffrent realms all placed in Felwood.

I got in on Stormscale (full, PvP) and was able to finish the battle without being attacked. All in all I have spent about 40-50 hours checking/camping Felwood. IRL time this took about 2 weeks, and I have not done much else in the game. Also got 80+ Felcloth from this hunt, which doesnt make up for the lost time.

I have reason to believe that the easiest way is the suggested "rolling a DK on diffrent low pop realms, camping Felwood with it and relogging it at diffrent hours"-method.

The mechanics for Minferal to spawn is from what I believe:
1. Recently killed critter in Shattered Scar Vale (empty critter spot)
2. Recently killed Infernal Sentry, close to this empty critter spot.
3. Respawn timer for Minferal off cooldown. (Others observations have caused them to doubt a respawn timer, but still might be one...?)
4. Battle-Pet somewhere in Felwood (full zone) killed, triggering a respawn of battle pet.
5. Very slim random chance that the spawning pet will be a Minferal.

in other words...

The mechanics I believe is that each time a pet is going to be respawned in Felwood (yes, full zone), there is a slim chance of it being a Minferal. BUT, to actually spawn a Minferal, there need to be an empty critter-spot in Shattered Scar Vale, a recently killed Infernal Sentry close by AND the respawn timer for the Minferal needs to be off cooldown. I can not prove this in any way, but it would be a reasonable explanation for this pet to be almost mythologically rare... or why not say Legendary Rare.

About rolling restarts: Minferal will not spawn directly after a rolling restart - Blizzard has "bugfixed" this...

Anyone with a suggestion how to prove this, apart from getting a full raid group killing ALL in Shattered Scar Vale while another full raid group kills off all battle-pets and critters in the rest of Felwood for the duration of the respawn timer cooldown?

Of course, such a proof will only work if repeated and statistically significant... but it will at the same time be able to prove if there is a cooldown timer at all... (without timer, the slim random chance becomes much more slim).

And...

Thanks Blizzard for letting me find a Minferal before I turned insane...

Kommentar von daaani

Yes! Finally Got it! farmed for it like 3-4 hours and the whole night last night! Found it at 42.6; 37.0 after killing all of the big Infernal Sentries and after checking every single pet in the surrounding area to make sure it's not as a secondary (then I killed the Pets)....
It was not a rare but I turned it into one - so just as good!
This fricking allie - pissed me of killed me like 5 times - but persistence.....

Kommentar von Gothicchick83

I've been searching for Minfernal and I saw the green paw on my mini map and I thought it was it and when I got close to it, it was a Tainted Rat damn rat made my heart jump XD

Kommentar von 1047029

OK ALL! READ THIS POST! Guaranteed to save you several hours of farming for rare spawn pets! Works 100%! 5.4+ patch

Respawn rate at least 2 hours+ for the minfernal. So here is a method to do it in about 10-15 minutes for ANY RARE SPAWN PET! After 2 hours of spawn camping I finally figured it out and pass this secret on to the world!

First in World of Warcraft press "O" and go to Other Raids Tab and que for Ordos and Celestial raid! Once you get picked up you transfer to that server...which hopefully one of the minfernals has spawned on that server... If not leave group and re-que for a different group. Took me 3-4 times before finding a server that had the minfernal spawns. Eazy as pie...

Tip: to speed up the que time enter a high item level in comments you get picked up in less than 40 secs. Before queing make sure you are in the area/zone that you want to farm for the rare pet! Also the above method works for rare world spawns...farming...and other stuff.

Also if you find this HELPFUL Please login and BUMP or Promote!(##RESPBREAK##)524##DELIM##thaia##DELIM##Good tip, but please do not post comments all in bold.

Kommentar von cattirickitt

after several attempts to do many of the tricks here, I finally made a DK on Ravenholdt ( a non CRZ realm rppvp) in under 2 hours. I have now batled as many as 1-10 a day except Tuesdays for some reason. I have 3 greens but still have yet to see a Rare I don't think they exist lol. this is by far the simplest way to get one or farm for the perfect one.

edit: logged on today and found 7 minfernal's 2 of which were rares tamed both a balance B/B and a power P/P can't believe it.

Kommentar von tazd3v

i was on a flightpath to winterspring and i saw about 10minfernals spawned on my minimap. i logout so i stop at the next flight path and run back to check the minfernals. none were there anymore.

Kommentar von Crono666

Caught mine today at Coordinates 47 41. I left an alt in this area as other players suggested and after checking the area twice, I found it on my 3rd try within a couple days.

Only saw one spawn in the entire area, so I can confirm that only one spawns at a time.

Time to go get a battle stone and make you a rare pet!

Happy hunting everyone.

Kommentar von Dimitra

Just a quick note on the subject.For some strange reason I foolishly thought that they (or it) would only spawn in or really close to the craters. They don't just spawn there. I caught mine at around 40,40. So, for those looking for the elusive ~~pain~~ pet, do look in all the spawning area mentioned here. Good luck!

Kommentar von 1059224

I lost my hope after reading comments about Minfernal.

But decide to give a try, it was there waiting for me :)

Kommentar von MJTyger

Last night (5/7/14) about 2am EST I was down in southern Felwood at an archeology site and decided to fly up and do a quick sweep of the area and see if any were up, not expecting anything other than those dang rats. Flew up and the first little paw I see is a minfernal! Poor quality but mine none the less. Sad that these pets can't be traded cause I wanted to give it to my hubby cause its the last pet he needs for the zookeeper title. If I can give any advice it would be to look late at night during the week because you won't see as many people out there camping, I think I saw 3 or 4 people there at the same time I caught mine. Good luck!

Kommentar von SpookyTheCat

I have been coming here for 6 to 7 months to try to find this pet with higher level characters (90 warlock, hunter, warrior), but finally decided to park another lower level one (82 rogue) in the area. After just one sweep before intending to log out, I found a poor quality minfernal at 44,44. Don't know whether that is anything to do with the lower level character, or just dumb luck. But finding one is good enough.

Kommentar von Hezhinata

Just got mine on Korgath with two horde camping the area - 2:15 AM EST

Kommentar von Billony

Captured this between 9:30 and 10:00 PST on Sunday. Useful to have an alt camped there who can fly. He was a little off course. Originally thought it was a rat. Went back to double check and there he was. Hope this helps!

Kommentar von Makedonija

This is total BS from blizzard been farming that pet for +1 year with 2 toons parked. One more reason of the many to replace WoW with another game it's just to old and Blizz mess up with players.

Kommentar von Vyxxen

Just caught this pet at 7:31 am US-Turaylon. About 40 min ago also got the Unborn Val'kyr. Today is good day! Happy girl right here :)

Kommentar von 1252871

Farming Höllchen should NOT be called farming. When you farm, you expect to harvest crops in a certain amount of time based on certain factors...The only factor here is luck, as with most dropped pets, but this is insane. It's been a year and a half of farming. I live near Amish farmers who harvest 2x before I see Minfernal once?.

I officially place my request in to change the term "farming" to "fishing" where Höllchen is concerned, an activity where a person sits in one place and waits........and waits, AND WAITS for some glimmer of hope....I would consider seeing one and getting beat to it to be the equivalent of a nibble in fishing. I haven't even seen my pole bend from a heavy tide yet. But I will continue fishing Höllchen until I reel in a grey flounder and stone him into a blue whale! Blizzard, what's the deal?

Sorry, my comments are usually far more helpful than this. I am hearing suggestions about being in Teufelswald at server restart. I suppose that's my next move.

5/26/14 between 5:57-6:12: I know it is just one day, but @ server restart, the only green paws popping up on my mini map were those dirty rats. I brought ranged to make sure they knew what I thought of them. I'll keep trying. Next time I post, I WILL possess one of these pets. Oh another thing, I did actually get to see one of these things in a PvP battle a while back. Watching it in action raises the question, why does vanity make us waste so much time? lol

Kommentar von 965525

List yourself as a tank or healer for all SoO flex wings, Celestials, and Ordos. You'll get a ton of whispers for invites. Accept them all, and sooner or later you'll get invited into a server that has minfernals up. I got my Minfernal on my third or fourth try, was poor quality but I upgraded it with a battle stone. I now have a rare Minfernal named Cinnamon.

Kommentar von mrpennfo1d

I just picked up a rare Minfernal on my first tour through the area. I had quested through the area with no spawning. I picked him up about 20 minutes ago on a Sunday evening.

Kommentar von mrpennfo1d

Ok, I just spotted 4 minfernals on Memorial Day.

Kommentar von Grabnex

We were at Felwood
Everybody had matching mounts
Somebody was killing a rat
And there they saw a rock
It wasn't a rock
It was a rock Monster!

Deny the kill all critters/tainted rats method all you want, but it worked within 30 minutes of herbing in the area. 8PM Saturday night. No server reset. At least five other people in the zone, and I'd made at least 3 circuits of the spawn area while getting my herbs. I doubt if forces the spawn, but it may "free up" a spot if the re-spawn is up. If you are camping the area, kill the critters while you wait. It *can't hurt. Worked for the robo-cub in Winterspring too.

Kommentar von Rapperb

found Minfernal, went down for petbattle, instant rare and caught it :D
I am so happy!

Kommentar von Rahaf

My Experience .. I would really suggest to go with to battle all those Tainted Rats there and camp. I am on Draenor Server and I have been camping the area for couple of hours for two days. One day mornings and afternoon and second day around started at 10:00 pm - 12:25am. Finally I got mine today as a Primary Pet got into a nice battle and captured him easily. Un common but good for the Achievement. Worth your patience move around a lot and DON'T just stay in one spot and YES it EXISTS !

NOTE: Don't forget to put lvl 15-17 pets on your group. I was about to lose him I had 2 lvl 25s and one 20 when I started and thanks God I was easy on him. I was Lucky ^^ !

Kommentar von Majnen

Just caught one at 23:57 server time, while it was raining. Not inside (or really anywhere near) Kroshius' circle of flame.

Kommentar von 1269308

I left my character out there over night and logged in this morning around 8:38am Eastern Time, went around and there were about 8 tainted rats just as I was about to stop looking I noticed there was one right in front of me. I caught it and looked around for anymore and even waited around for 20 minutes but there was nothing else but the one. Happy Hunting!

Kommentar von Nulanna

I enjoy sarcasm as much as the next person - however, EZHK's comparison of the idea that you can produce a minfernal spawn by killing area battle pets with survivorship bias is seriously flawed. If some yahoo was just out killing pets and then happened upon a minfernal I might agree, however, this isn't quite the case.

We know that the mechanics for node spawning, mob spawning, and yes, battle pet spawning is designed to work this way. Certain number of slots = killing to free up space for more possible spawns. This doesn't mean you can "force" it to spawn - just that, provided the required spawn timer has already passed and they are available in the pool of spawnable battle pets - you can greatly improve the chance for one to spawn if all of the BP slots are not full. Since this area is low level range - it makes sense that most of the battle pets are not shuffled often by being engaged. This is also why they tend to spawn upon server reset, when the slots are ALL available and they are in the pool of spawnable pets.

If using this method has NOT produced the results you were hoping for within an hour or so - my conclusion would be the spawn timer is not up and they are not in the available pool of battle pets to spawn - I would wait a few hours and try again later.

Although I always appreciate an attempt at satire - it doesn't work well when you are attacking something that is based on sound logic, an understanding of how the game is designed to function, and the very real ability to manipulate those mechanics in your favor.

Kommentar von moippltjes

wow... guess i'm pretty lucky... i was just questing when i found him... i tought he looked rather interesting so i cought him and now it turns out he's incredibly rare and hunted...

Kommentar von 76663

I play on Kargath and have a character camped in Felwood in the area where the Minfernal spawns. At 5:20 AM server time on the 4th of July, 2014 I logged in that character to make some flasks and a Minfernal was up. Only one was up and no other players were around. It was at loc 42.6, 36.6.

I got damn lucky and it was a rare. It got me the title Zookeeper from the World Safari achievement as well as the achievement Kalimdor Safari. A nice way to start off Independence Day!

A happy camper!

I was so lucky today. Didn't camp at all for this Minferno, just leave a toon in Felwood and check on it once in awhile. Do a circuit or two around the spawn location then log off. Checked in today and got an Uncommon. Log off and back in again after about 1.5 hours then got a Rare Destruction. So happy!

Kommentar von ARedstone

The best advice I can give anyone who's wanting to have this pet is to definitely wait until a server restart. I spent hours killing non-combat pets, npcs, and essentially running around in circles waiting for this beast to spawn, and it didn't happen.

Days later, I'm not even farming this pet, and I notice the 'server shutdown 15:00' message and I remember a comment I read on wowhead relating to how they spawn before and after server shutdowns. I go back to felwood, bam, there are two, just waiting to be caught.
Be quick though, because one person had one of them, and I caught the other, only to be /spat on by another player. A minute later, I got to wetlands to find the Tiny Bog Monster, same thing, there's two of them as well.

Kommentar von Alkiphron

Success, this time on Round 1!

I camped the spawning area for a solid 3 hours, tabbing in and out. Took a hint from the other posters and started killing EVERY. OTHER. PET. in the zone (not with battles; straight up melee'ing them) Waited another like 20 minutes, started hearthing and it spawned.

I had gone from:
This sucks, I'll never get this pet to NEVER GIVE UP, NEVER SURRENDER

Used the Unborn Val'kyr I had grabbed this morning and almost one shotted it (beware, it was only lvl 21 and it brought the Minfernal down to 98hp) Took 4 traps to nab it. So yeah guys, don't give up, every second you think you've wasted is gonna be another second of you cheesing out when you get it.

For those who hate happy endings and want some hard facts:
-The Minfernal spawned near the docks in Bloodvenom Lake
-Killing other critters seems to work.

Kommentar von BMHunterMain

Maybe a week ago I saw someone running around with a Minfernal and decided to camp a 90 at their spawn site and finally catch one. I caught a level 14, poor-quality Minfernal right away, just flew around the area, saw it, and caught it; no camping required.

The very next day I was passing through Felwood on an alt (this one on a very high-pop server), checked again, and again there was a single level 14 poor-quality Minfernal. I went by again today while doing some Archaeology, and there was a lone level 15 poor-quality Minfernal running around. I checked for them three times and found one every time.

Either I am incredibly lucky, or these guys aren't nearly are rare as they once were. Granted I am only getting the crap-quality Minfernals and not rare, uncommon, or even common... but these guys should not be all that difficult for you to catch if you really want one. Caught the first one Demon Soul (low pop PvP) and the other two on Darkspear (high pop PvP), all were caught late night/early morning.

Kommentar von Silancy

Found one while doing quests on my rogue, it was poor but I caught it since I didn't have it, never realised it was so camped :P

I suggest you make a character on Chamber of Aspects if you are on EU. Barely no-one in the zone at any time.

Kommentar von Valkyrie89

So this was actually pretty easy for me, before I read the comments I just read the undernote about how it appears near fallen infernals in battle, figured let's kill a couple. Low and behold minfernal on the hill next to where I was killing them.

Kommentar von GrandKai

I was worried about farming this after reading a few comments, but i was there to do the trainer quests anyways. So ater about 5 minutes of flying around one popped up and i was able to get him. Common quality.

Kommentar von Brilynn

I was convinced that the "secret" of killing the big infernals to get the minfernal to spawn was ridiculous. Then I cleared the area of them and lo' and behold, one spawned right next to me...

Kommentar von 1325984

Spent an hour killing all the big infernals, like some people suggested, and zip. zero. zilch. Also, there were no other battle pets in the area. This pet just does not want to spawn for me. (sad face)

Kommentar von xaaav1

Same thing for me: mine spawned near the docks at 42, 45 on sunday morning.

Kommentar von Tenneiyl

Logged in today on Thrall (U.S.) at 10.41am server time and found 3 of these little guys wandering around the infernal area.
Here are the coordinates:
46.09, 40.99
44.43, 41,63
40.18, 40,32

The one I tamed was of poor quality, but I'm happy with him anyway. Perfect match for my warlock!

Kommentar von Serenale

I've been camping for this little guy on multiple realms for the last week and finally found him at about 8:15 pm on the Korialstrasz realm at TomTom coordinates of about 40, 40. He was the only one out there at the time and it didn't look like anyone was farming the Infernal Sentries like I had been trying in the past along with many other people camping these spots. This makes me think the spawn timer tips were right. He was only common but I was holding on to a nice shiny battle stone with his name on it. Woot woot!

Kommentar von Maricah

I just got this guy after over a year of hunting him down on and off. I'm honestly shocked. He's uncommon (which I'll take any day). I got him at 1:28pm EST. To be honest, a lot of getting this guy is luck these days; being in the right place and the right time.

Kommentar von 714565

damn it, I wish I have read about him earlier..
I am not a player who doing pet battle a lot, I only collect battle pets. I was in felwood capturing all pets there.
grey pet kills,
white pet kills,
green pet captures,
blue pet captures,

and I was flying to shatter scar vale where he is respawing, found one of him, i thought he is not rare, just one common pet I meet, start battle, grey, okay, lets kill him, no big deal.

then I can't find him anywhere,and then I came here, just know that he is rare pet. I am really sad, really really sad.

Kommentar von Elithe

Picking up quests related to Shatter Scar Vale doesn't matter.

EDIT: A little advice: Kill non-battle Tainted Rats using Toxic Wasteling. They leave no corpses what may be an additional advantage.

Kommentar von thedoubledecker

I just found mine randomly today! I would highly suggest saving a battle-stone because the one I found wasn't unique. Like the other posts say, the best way is to camp a character there and log in every once in awhile.

Kommentar von 714565

damn, Illidan server surely has MANY minfernals! my illidan character was using flight master to get there, and I see plenty of minfernal there, and yes, I mean PLENTY, and that also means A LOT. I just can't get down to get one! after I land, all of them disappeared, THANK YOU, BLIZ FOR THE CRZ!

Kommentar von Pinkitteh

*DOH! I accidentally one shot one with scorching earth (well the dot killed him before I could trap). :S

Sorry little guy I should have spanked you lightly with my terrible turnip's weakening blow instead. :S I meant to catch you, not kill you. T.T ...now hours of camping your respawn is my penance!

Kommentar von Sideshowbob

I finally captured one today. Method used:

Make a character on a Low Pop Latin America/Brazil server.
Summon and walk around letting it eat all the non battle pet tainted rats.

It took me about 20 minutes to have one spawn. It was only common but anything is better then not seeing one spawn in a year. I hope this helps.

Kommentar von Arahant

I found this guy browsing wowhead, and learned that he is rare to get... I'm still not sure 100% why hes so special(other then just rare spawn i guess?) but i first went to a low pop server... made a DK... then relised i was to lazy to do quests to get out of starter zone.. made a lvl 1... almost died to a lvl 6 mob leaving starter zone so quit that...

Went and loaded up an old character i had on a medium pop server... flew from ogrimmar to felwood and to the area... started to do a circle of the area indicated, wasnt seeing any pets at all which lead me to believe that people were frequenting the area often despite me not seeing anyone... just as i finished circle i see one... i land quickly and capture it... was only uncommon but... i guess its still rare? minutes after i seen a druid circle around looking.... would be funny if people were camping on this server for awhile and i just come in first time and get it and go back to my high pop server.

Kommentar von souza412

Confirmed 9/21/2014 Killed the Infernal's in the area, with in 5 min pet appeared. Good Luck guys.

Kommentar von all4atlantis

Confirmed method that works:

1) Make a dk on a low pop realm
2) Get to the minfernal area as soon as you are out of the starting zone
3) Identify the time that the server restarted. Each day around that time there will be at least one minfernal spawned.
4) Come back at that time the next day, at least 10-20 minutes early, and stay until either you get one or you reach the time identified in #3.

I got my P/S common minfernal this morning, at 8:07am, when the server restarts this week were around 8am and took 15-20mins. Basically, the host for the CRZ I am in finished its restart between 8am and 8:07am.

I hope that helps! Its my lazy-man's solution to this annoyingly rare pet.

Kommentar von 1095051

I can't stress enough to just put a toon there and log in every so often. I camped all day today, killing everything! Then I logged in a few hours later and saw one...a rare one at that! It's luck, faith, and setting your toon to camp. Good luck all!

Kommentar von 1381169

Confirming what another poster said, if you fly around the zone and kill all the other battle pets, one will spawn. This was the last pet I needed to get World Safari and I camped it for 2 days on and off and nothing. I was even there during restart. I went around killing ALL battle pets I could, made my way back to the minfernal spot and there was one spawned.

Kommentar von Garlin

Its take 1 hour of camp around spawn places... You can short your time fighting with tainted rats

Kommentar von DakMonkeyz

Incase someone is trying to collect data for minfernal or something I thought I'd share what happened to me. I didn't camp this, just scouted the area every time I happened to be nearby.

-Often when I scouted the area there were hardly any battle pets around, however this time there was lots and lots of tainted rats.
-Found Minfernal at the north-east corner of shatter scar vale.
-After capturing minfernal Rare Immolatus happened to walk right next to me.
-After capturing minfernal and killing Immolatus I scouted the area once more, didn't see any other minfernals.
-Found minfernal 00:54 game time.

Kommentar von Chiamera

After reading these comments I was prepared to camp for hours, but somehow I got lucky and it spawned in 30 minutes after I arrived! It was common quality, but I'm happy with it since I'm hunting these for Zookeeper achi. :) Good luck to all trying to get this one!

Kommentar von Xobn

i don't know if Blizzard buffed the spawn chance of this pet or i've been extremly lucky.
but i remember very well back in 5.x patches that it was very rare indeed.

Today i simply went there and there was 3 minfernals next to each other...

proof

Kommentar von sandman1324

I've been trying to get this pet since my friend first mentioned it. A few months back.
And today 10/11-14, 4 days from WoD. I finally got one. In Uncommon quality. I cannot give you the coordinates at the moment but will as soon as possible to help those who haven't got it yet :)

Kommentar von 1386299

This pet really exist?

Kommentar von Neozaki

Been trying to get this guy for a long, long time. Every camp session took a few hours without a single spawn.

I decided to take the advice of some WoWhead posts about simply parking a low-pop realm character on there. No luck the first and second time, but third time's the charm! Quickly nabbed a poor quality elemental. I left the others alone to give someone else a chance. I can use stones anyway, if I wish to do so.

Edit: Time of capture was 18:30 server time on Darkmoon Faire EU.

Kommentar von 1403905

Wanted to thank everyone for great info-I used both methods and it worked great except for a small lag when I initiated the battle pet taming. In a blink of an eye, a gnome rogue jumped in and began it himself. Of course, he got it and made a rude gesture to boot. He spawned underneath the columns right by the village, if anyone wants to know. Oh well, there is always tomorrow. Thanks again to all for help. Good luck.

Kommentar von 745389

i have just got extremly lucky, flew in and minfernal was there so glad :)

Kommentar von 1400142

I found a Minfernal as soon as I got to the area. But, that was just to make everything more painful. I think there is a bug (or maybe it is intentional) that prevents you from entering Pet Combat in, like, the final 5 minutes before server reset. Same thing happened the other day in another area.

So, all I could do was was click and be told I was already in combat. I spent the next couple hours farming the Scar and I saw ZERO Minfernals. Ohh, the pain. It hurts.

Kommentar von littleblueflash

Just got mine after only 3 hours of looking. Spent some time last night trying to clear out critters and battle pets to get it to spawn and had no luck. Went off to work on my minecraft server all of today, got into wow late, did some missions and garrison stuff and decided to just take a look if it was up. Logged in and it was directly under me just running around with 3 tainted rats nearby. Got into battle right as someone else flew by looking for it....

Got a rare :) Super happy!

Kommentar von 750128

I have absolutely no patience for farming for these hard to find pets and it doesn't help that I'm on a very highly populated realm. At any given time there are usually about 2-3 people circling around looking for Minfernals and that was even at 3 am in the morning (I couldn't sleep and thought I would try). I guess that's what happens when you sign up for a busy East Coast realm.

I always joked about started a Death Knight on a low pop server over in Oceanic, figuring I might have better luck there. After the umpteenth time heading over to Felwood and seeing all the people waiting for Minfernals to spawn I figured 'Why Not?'.

In the end - I have saved myself HOURS, probably DAYS of farming thanks to my Death Knight.

Took me 3-4 hours to run my Death Knight through all the quests and you must do all the quests - I tried just running out of the area and there is a giant force field blocking you (btw first death knight - never had any interest in building one and still don't).

Took me about 10 minutes to get to Felwood. There was a portal that I could take to Orgimar. I had to finish a quest (else no one would speak to me). It dawned on me I couldn't fly (only level 58), but no biggie - even though you haven't found all the flight masters they are already available to you.

Took me about 10 minutes to scoop up 3 Minfernals just waiting around looking for adoptions. They weren't of good quality but each had their own breed (I have plenty of charms and upgraded the P/P one to rare).

I figured while I was here I'd head over to Winterspring and nab a few Snowy Owls (Winter just started and everyone was out gathering Owls) and a Scorpling over at Blasted Lands. And when the only Wharf Rat on my main server was in a bad location I couldn't reach - I switched over and got that too (Along with EK Safari).

Oh and with the money I made from selling some of the crafting material and a few green armor pieces I found I picked up some nice pets I found cheap at their AH too.

Finally got a Minfernal via the low-pop Oceanic realm method. Made the toon last night and didn't see any Minfernals. Logged in this morning, and there was a Minfernal right behind me. There had been a realm restart 30 min prior. I did not kill any rats or other battle pets. I didn't see anybody else killing rats. That was the only Minfernal I saw.

Kommentar von Buruan

Add one more for Oceanic server method...
I threw in $60 to make a level 90DK, had to run campaign until Garrisson was built.
You guys are probably going to hate me, but in the span of less than 2h , i got the H/H Scourged Whelp I wanted for a long time, an Unborn Valkyr and a Minfernal.

I am a happy Pet Collector today.

Feel a bit dirty about spending the cash, but in this phase of my life, time is harder to come by than money.

Kommentar von joekurr

Absolutely the best way to get this lil' guy is by creating a DK on a low pop server (I used a PVP Brazilian server - Tol Barad) as many have posted. Headed to Felwood after the starter quests and after a quick scout of the spawn area, there was my lil' buddy waiting for me at coords 41,38! He was a P/P Uncommon; I don't know if Blizz was rewarding me for waiting so long for this pet, but it actually dropped a Flawless Magic Battle Stone as well! I couldn't believe it! I made him a rare right on the spot. Very happy right now! :)

Although I refer to him as a lil' guy, he actually is quite big for a pet - almost as big as a human!

Kommentar von 634186

I camped this pet on and off for a few weeks in December 2014. Regardless of the time of day, I always saw at least two other people there and I often saw as many as five.

Taking the advice of several other posters here, I created a DK on a low population Oceanic server and proceeded through the initial quest line until I was deposited in Stormwind.

After a quick trip to Felwood and seeing no one around, I killed several of the infernal mobs in the area and also leveled a few pets in battles against tainted rats nearby. Within 20 minutes a Minfernal showed up in the northern part of the spawn area. I even got a rare to boot. This was a great idea and I owe a debt of thanks to those who suggested it.

Good luck to those still hunting this little dude.

Kommentar von 1306423

I had noticed a pattern before, but had not tried to confirm it till to day and it worked... got MInfernal in around 20 minutes.

Killing Kroshius will trigger a spawn (typically a rat), which must be battled and beaten (maybe simply killing it will work too?)

Eventually you will trigger a Minfernal spawn and hope you get to battle and capture it

Took me 5 killings of Kroshius and 4 rat battles to get Minfernal to spawn for me and luckily nobody was really around and got it.

Hope this I repeatable for others, cause it worked for me.

Did this around 12:30am and then tried to help someone else do it... but the rats stopped spawning. So must be a timer as well.

Kommentar von turboforealz

I started farming this guy a couple of days ago. I camped the area with 4 different characters on different realms (though several seemed to be on the same CRZ). After 1 day of looking once every 1h or so, I found a poor quality P/P which I stoned.

Just for fun I continued looking for them. A day passed, and when I logged in I could see not one, not two... BUT FOUR(!) Minfernals spawned right next to eachother. One Uncommon, one common and two poor. So I got myself 2 more Minfernals and left the last two. This was on Ravencrest EU server.

I've logged in several times since then (to maybe get a rare), but I havn't seen one since.

Is this common? Have anyone seen FOUR Minfernals at the same spot?

Kommentar von bonavox

I just wanted to add my experience. I used a few different tactics suggested. It also helped that I had two accounts to do this with so I didn't have to wait on a friend.

1. Made a character on a new player server and used it to invite my main to group.
2. Flew my main from Orgrimmar to Felwood.
3. Landed in the vale and began player-killing critters.

A Minfernal spawned after killing the 4th rat in the area. I captured it (was gray, but doesn't matter - I'll use a stone on it.)

After capturing one I left the vale, player-killed more critters and pet battled a few others. Went back to the vale and killed more rats. Second Minfernal popped not long after (I left it for someone else that was also camping for one.)

I had tried camping, making a DK on a low pop server, logging in to check now and then, etc. The above strat was the first one that actually worked, and I think killing the pets is what worked over being in a zone on a low-pop realm (all that did was eliminate some competition.)

Good luck! :)

Kommentar von Starista

Just wanted to say that I caught Minfernal (poor quality) at 3:09 PM EST right behind the pillars.

I pet battled a tainted moth and tainted rat.

I am not sure if this is what made it spawn but next thing I see is a infernal!

Achievement: ZOOKEEPER! alas.

Kommentar von 1048480

I know it had been said before, but I cannot stress enough the importance of camping a toon in the area where your hard-to-find pet spawns.

Even if you only have one character, the time spent to level it up to get it to Felwood pales in comparison to the stress you endure mindlessly battling rats or flying around the zone.

Park a toon, switch to another and do your thing. Check back every hour, six hours, two days...whatever floats your boat.

I did this for the Ungeborene Val'kyr, with four alts spread over different zones. Took maybe a week of checking and swapping, etc.

The same strat worked for the Minfernal not once, but twice! Caught one using the casual camp method. Logged into a hunter I'd forgotten about and lo, there was a Minfernal right beneath me. I managed to catch the eye of the undead flying around and nudged him toward it. Pass that karma around, folks.

Happy hunting! xo

Kommentar von missbenedict

Just spam group finders until you get onto a low pop server and you should see some minfernals. I got mine after joining my 4th group finder. 20 minutes total to get one.

Kommentar von elliottdavies7

Just got 3 of these guys.

Kommentar von 1345736

I just got mine after about 4 hours of sitting there. I'd say I'm on the lower end of population servers. It seems most people that you see are just there for a few minutes hoping to log on and catch it spawned. I felt my chances were a lot better after the first few minutes realizing that since a decent portion of the time I actually was there by myself.

My Catch: I had the heart attack moment when a tainted rat spawned right in the middle of the spawn point. I killed it and literally like 2 minutes later a Minfernal spawned right about where it was at.

The time of catch was about 12:30pm server time/11:30cst on Friday

Kommentar von Saffier

I just got mine! I joined a group in Premade Groups to get on another realm and the first one I joined had one walking around!

Luck o' the gods on my side. Went to Felwood and there was a 100 horde patrolling for this so went to Winterspring to farm for Azure Whelpling. Didn't get whelpling, so went to beat trainer in Felwood. As i flew buy Minfernal was up! Poor quality, but its all good!

Kommentar von ntiniza

Minfernal shares a spawn with Infernal Sentry mobs in this area you have to kill them to have a spawn of Minfernal it took me like 10-15 minutes.

Kommentar von LaydeeAyvaah

Finally spotted one of these after a few days of camping and as i tapped on it to fight my pet killed it....cry
was at about 10pm oceanic server time as well.

Kommentar von ZzoOozZ

several people have mentioned this method of finding the Minfernal but not in good detail. I saw this posted on the WarCraftPets.com forum and wanted to share. I followed this advice, in the morning, and found 4 in a span of 20 minutes.

The future is cross-realm hopping and it works, it's fun and it's so easy to do.

Step #1 - fly to the site of Minfernals or other hard to get wild pets (we also had luck doing this with scorplings, jade oozlings and wharf rats)
Step #2 - Use that 'Looking for Group' tool and go to the custom group
Step #3 - look for any group built for things like Kura/Eris pet tamer, Harrison Jones, Mats Trader, Enchanter Hut or just my Garrison is open and I have Auto-Accept is open.
Step #4 - Sign up for that group.

Easy Peasy - these groups are all auto-accept so you will join immediately and cross over into their realm - monsters will suddenly shift or disappear with new ones appearing. Fly around a few minutes to see if any are there. If not just leave the group and look for the next one - 'rinse and repeat'.

To add to what they suggested, when joining a group this way it will show you the name and realm of the person that started the group in the group finder dialog. It's just a matter of making a mental note of "did I try this realm yet" when selecting.

Be warned, if you are from a PvE realm and go this route it sometimes brings you to PvP servers, you will be flagged for PvP when you cross over. Good thing is, when you leave the party and return to your realm the PvP flag will automatically be removed.

enjoy!

Kommentar von Fliebie

Hey guys, don't forget to fly around the entire vale! I found mine today behind a tree on the outskirts! Everyone seems to like camping the craters!

Kommentar von 1460495

After about an hour killing off Infernals in the Scar (server: Farstriders) I got one to finally pop up. He was Poor Quality, but I'm fine with that. Minfernal showed up in the NE corner of the Scar, right near an Infernal. I thought these things spawned right from the dropped mobs, but I thought wrong.

Good luck to everyone out there trying for him. It does take patience...

Kommentar von aTei

To easy collect this pet, switch between servers by joining other server group or raid via "Find a Group". I found my in 5 mins.

Kommentar von Graknak

I'm not sure if it helps, but i started killing non-battle pets/critters (mostly rats) that seemed to be roaming the possible Minfernal spawns together with the big infernals and it took maybe 10-15 mins before one spawned. Sadly poor quality, but at least i got it!
It feels like killing the trash critters and common battle pets in an area helps force respawns of the less common spawns (i've tried it before in other areas with increased success compared to normal) but then again we humans love to see patterns everywhere so it's probably a big pile of BS ;)

Kommentar von Darisper

I highly recommend checking this pet's spawn point after hours if possible, especially if you are on a lower pop server or have access to one (or just aren't interested in the CRZ method). I spent two days occasionally scouting during the day with no luck, then I checked it at around 3am the next night (on a high pop server, mind) and managed to capture two Minfernals; one was poor, the other was uncommon. I upgraded the poor to rare via battle stone.

I figure this is pretty standard advice for capturing most hard-to-find pets (as I successfully did the same thing with the Unborn Val'kyr), but I do realize a lot of people don't have the ability to log on late.

Kommentar von lyta

Sometimes you just get too lucky. Realm hopped there one was and a rare however, a tainted rare moth too :( Got the minfernal rare easy. One rat one moth on team.

Kommentar von mei44

Finally caught one after a month of logging in to check at least once a day and almost 3.5 hours of camping just today. One appeared right next to me. Only an uncommon but I'll use a stone, no way I'm looking for another. 4:42 pm est on Mok.

I recently got into collecting pets and checked out the spot where Minfernals spawn yesterday, none were spawned.

Checked again today and was able to catch 2 next to each other. Killed all Infernals and went for a smoke, then collected number 3.

I might have gotten extremely lucky, but it seems killing the Infernals lets them spawn.

This happened on Arthas-EU at around 11:30 AM today.

Kommentar von 933315

Not sure if it was luck but I farmed this for a total of -maybe- 30 minutes today.
I went to the middle of the area and set off Halo (Shadow Priest) every time the CD was up.
I tabbed out and did something else while I waited.
I set my NPC Scan to go off when one would spawned.

I heard it go off, it was for the rare in the same area (forget the name) but went off a second time almost instantly for a Minfernal.

Kommentar von Naturzel

I'd just like to say I'm glad I came on here to read about this pet before capturing it. I am in no way bragging about how lucky I was but I transferred to 3 servers in 5 minutes and on the 3rd change they were all up. I would generally try and catch a rare one but left them all up for others after seeing how rare they were.

Kommentar von Krysteen

I finally to one this morning on Caelestrasz, had an alt sitting there and found one when I logged on at 9.50am. It was wandering near the large infernals at around 43,40. Its a common but I can fix that.

Kommentar von Rowanne

Caught mine last night, grey quality, destruction. I had parked an alt in the area and logged out. Having decided to go for a quick run through the LFR I logged in to be standing on top of the one and only minfernal to spawn. So lucky. It was stood to the far east of the spawning area. by a tree, if I hadn't seen the thing and had only spotted the paw on the map I would probably have queued and lost it. Only pets I need for zoo-keeper now are carrion rat and Silithid hatchling.
(Magtheridon, EU. 23.07 server time. 26/07/15)

Kommentar von Druser

I had a Minfernal (luckily already Rare) after 10 minute of farming.

You just have to kill every Tainted rat in the zone to force a respawn of a new minion to replace it.

Be careful, if you leave 2-3 Tainted rat you won't get the respawn.

Myself had this macro as a Druid Balance:

/cleartarget
/target Tainted rat
/cast Moonfire(Lunar)

Kommentar von xLexi

I captured mine up on the hill where all the black holes in the ground are in the shattered scar in Felwood. I sat in that area killing every critter I saw (battle pet or not) and eventually one (just one, I flew over the entire area and there were no more anywhere else despite others saying they spawn in groups) and within 15-25 minutes I had my minfernal captured using only a poor quality level 14 huge toad to widdle his health down low enough to capture him. His only battle partner was a single tainted rat, and the minfernal itself was uncommon rarity. Patience is key here folks, but I highly recommend murdering all critters in the vicinity (or elsewhere in the zone, as the more you kill, the faster they seem to respawn in the zone to fill the lack of spawns) to make this go faster for you.

Kommentar von Zyandrel

The best thing to do to get this pet is to get on between 4am and 6am server times. I personally am EST and I find them always up even if I have to hop on a few servers trough group finder.

That's the easiest way.

Kommentar von Thadenator

Made an account to share this.

Using the cross realm feature makes this a bit easier, I used the addon Cross Realm Assist.

So when I would log into my alt, I'd just use that addon to cycle through all the realms available to me at the time and I got it quite quickly using this method.

I hope this helps and happy hunting!

Kommentar von Vampluva

Hoping this helps someone else;

I found the Minfernal by the very bottom crater on the map. I don't have co-ordinates to share unfortunately, but both times I've happened upon one it has been in the exact same spot.

The first time I foolishly exited the pet battle hoping to get one that was better than the 'poor' quality one I'd found, not realising that the rest were ALL tainted cockroaches =_= ... needless to say I was pretty ragefaced at myself when it didn't respawn after exiting the battle like most other battle pets do, I hung around for 10 minutes hoping I was mistaken, but no...

I came back 6 hours later on the off chance I might find another, and there he was right in front of me! Still poor quality, but what the hell, now I have him marked off of my Safari list!

Caught at 4:06 AM realm time (Sisters of Elune server).

Kommentar von 1027229

Ok, so I got one last night. Luckily no one was camping the area so it looks like the upgrade stones have had good effect. All I can say is that I circled the area killing literally everything, all the infernals, the fiery guys and all the tainted rats (which can be tough to see but you could make a macro.)

After about 20 min I started a youtube video on finding the Minfernal then alt tabbed to keep going and there it was.

So all i can really say is it may share the same spawn locations as the infernals as it seemed to spawn on one of them, but who's to say. Hell, it may be the magic of Youtube. At least there aren't constantly 10 people farming any more.

Kommentar von Random0182

Found Höllchen hanging around the fel pools. 7am est instantly found the pet walking around near the monsters.

Kommentar von Lepto

Having hunted for this for over a year, on and off, and recently having parked an alt in Felwood to make this easier, I never saw one. Today, again, nothing there. While the forums say that killing the 'adult' versions Infernal Sentry doesn't have an affect, I decided to start killing them. Three kills later and up pops the minfernal. Random coincidence?

Kommentar von Ixui

Has the spawn rate been increased on these recently? I found FOUR of them within one loop of the area.

These are much, much easier to get now. I went to Felwood this morning and there were two others looking for them, so I realm hopped a bit. Within 5 minutes I got 3 of them in the breeds I wanted. Quality doesn't matter because upgrade stones are so easy to come by. If you gave up on this pet in MoP, just try hopping at a non-peak time

Kommentar von rrrof711

I just got 2 minfernals at around 2:36am - 3:46am cst on Area 52 server. I have been hunting them for 2 or 3 days for hours on end (in total about 12 hours on multiple servers). I had to go and do other stuff because the music in Felwood is annoying and the waiting is very tedious with nothing really interesting to kill except the elite slime and it is almost as slow spawning as the Minfernal is. They both seemed to spawn after I started wiping out all of the battle pets in the large area that it is designed to spawn in (specifically the areas around the road from the far north before it bends all the way down to the battle pet master where the infected humanoids are especially all of the groups of cockroaches all the way west toward the huts with the humanoid slime things). I was also taking out the Infernals and Horrors too. Basically, I was just wrecking everything in the vicinity except the deer and wolves. Mostly bears, infernals, horrors and some of the fel infected. All of the infected cockroaches, squirrels, moth pets. Finally, it spawned at 48.38, 44.40 on the side of the hill near the lake. I got the second one about 45 minutes to an hour later at 46, 39 on the flat area northeast of the north pit. They were both poor quality. It does seem to help by clearing out the other battle pets in and around the spawn zone. Otherwise, they may not spawn because there are too many battle pets taking up space.

Kommentar von isolde98

Like many of you, this battle pet had been a great challenge for me. I had tried all the tricks in this post. I had alts. I tried the cross-realm maneuvers. The server resets. But still I had not seen a single minfernal. After searching other sites for tips I finally came across one that worked ...

Create a DK alt on an Oceania server.

These are the lowest pop realms around. I went through the usual routine to create a DK and marched myself to Felwood as soon as I could. And what did I find? Minfernals! Minfernals all over the Shattered Scar! And no one else camping them!

Kommentar von Raistar

I was able to "server hop" and find this pet right under me. By joining an open party in the party finder I was "pulled" into another server and bam, there he was. Took me about 3 minutes of farm time. Hope this helps you all still hunting find him! :)

Kommentar von Pops715

After what happened to me this morning, I felt compelled to share my experience....

Yesterday, I began my quest for the elusive Minfernal. I parked three alts from three different servers in the area and took turns camping, trying every tactic I had read about: cross-realm hopping, constantly killing infernals, etc. After spending all day and half the night keeping constant vigil and not seeing a single one, I was ready to come here and declare that, in MY opinion, these "Minfernals" had obviously been discontinued and were no longer available.

But after sleeping in until well after noon today, I decided to give it one more try and logged onto my alt on Argent Dawn server. No sooner had I logged in than, lo and behold, there was a Minfernal! It was of poor quality, but I didn't care; I just wanted it. After the capture, I decided to make the rounds of the area, just for the heck of it. Within 10 seconds, I found another one! This one was also poor quality but again, I didn't care; now I'd have two of them!
I quickly captured it and started to fly away when suddenly, there was a THIRD Minfernal! I'm thinking, "WTF? They're suddenly everywhere!". This third one was, again, of poor quality but I captured it anyway.

UPDATE: In the past couple of days, I've been able to replace my poor quality Minfernals with uncommon ones. The best tip I can give anyone looking for these little guys is to get on Argent Dawn server. They seem to always be there when I log in to check the area out. Yesterday, there were six at one time! I checked just now and there were two. (I'm still looking and hoping to come across a rare one.

i suggest to not stay there for hours waiting for him to spawn. just let an alt character there and check every few hours.
killing mob or battle pet in area does not affect his spawn. don't waste you time.
Good luck for everyone.

I can not believe this, just got mine after killing the first Höllenbestienwachposten I saw, it appeared on top of the crater.

Kommentar von MajorMage

I have to say that I don't think this pet is as rare as some people claim it is.
The first time someone told me about this pet, sometime last year (2015), I went out and got a Rare quality one in approximately 15 minutes.
Fast forward to today, July 2016, and I decided to try to get another one. Again, I flew around for approximately 15 minutes before I got another one. The only difference is that the one I just now got is Grey quality.
Nothing a stone won't fix.

Kommentar von Rhaegaron

Is this guy just as hard to catch since it became available in Cataclysm? I've been idle from WoW for 2 years.

Kommentar von duggyrob

I get that things like this are meant to be rare, but it makes me nuts that Blizzard has effectively slashed our ability to find the bloomin' things by a factor of four or five with CRZ and sharding, and at the same time has largely eliminated our ability to server hop in order to work around CRZ.

For the love o' Pete, Blizz - at least multiply the spawn rate to match the number of servers that overlap in a shard or CRZ.

Kommentar von caliee

After quite a break from WoW I returned and one of the biggest surprises for me what how much I liked collecting battle-pets. This was one of the last wild pets on my list before Legion with the exception of the Snowy Owl (I have to wait for winter for that one), any ways to the point.

I struggled to get this pet and spent many hours trying to farm it. I tried forcing spawns by killing hundreds of the rats that spawn across the zone to free up spawns, no joy out of about 10-15 hours trying on and off; killing or battling hundreds of rats. I tried camping but there always seemed to be several cross-realmers doing the same, everyone has the same thought it seems to think evenings are the best time to camp .

I finally got it by parking an alt there and every day I started playing wow I just logged the alt first for 5 minutes to check. 2nd day of doing this when I got it, I logged on there was literally one at my feet. I caught it and afterwards I noticed a second just 100 yards away. 2 minfernals and no rats. I would hazard a guess that they are purely a timed spawn, and can't be forced, possibly spawning 2 or 3 when they finally do. I caught mine around 2pm, and after checking the second one wasn't a better breed I left it and advertised it in the zone. No one turned up in the 5 minutes I waited, I left it there for some lucky adventurer to find.

I'd recommend the parking an alt and checking the zone that way on and off as I wasted 10 hours being bored. It's not like Felwood has a particularly jolly soundtrack or is particularly profitable :(

Kommentar von Kaziel

With the release of Legion, they changed cross-realm hopping so that it is now a lot harder. So for all the advice here that basically boils down to "Just realm hop!", I won't say it's impossible, but it's a lot harder. Here's why:

Zones are now independent and you change realms in there depending on its current flag. Flag is put once a player is in a group and enters a zone. Flag is being removed when all players leave that zone.
You’ll be transferred if you’re in a zone, and you join a party with a player already in that zone.
You’ll be transferred if you enter the zone’s by crossing its border and there’s already a player from your group in that zone.
You’ll NOT be transferred if you enter zone if no other player from your party is there.
Even if you’re not a leader, if you were the only person from the group in the zone and another player from that group comes to that zone, he will be transferred to your realm, since you’re the first person, who entered that zone while in a group.

If you want a more detailed explanation of how it works, see https://wow.curseforge.com/addons/server-hop/pages/changes-to-cross-realm-in-legion/

Kommentar von bowedoak1

Everyone on my server said it took them a month to find theirs and after about six weeks of alt checking, I finally did as others suggested and made a DK on a low pop Oceanic server, Aman'Thul. Felwood was dead, literally no one was there except another DK that popped in for five minutes and left.
After two hours, while I watched a movie, one popped up. It was grey. I grabbed it and came back an hour later and there were three more. I checked for a blue and they were all green so I left them and let general know the coords. One guy got on his horde toon and came about 15 minutes later. The other was still there an hour later.
I first saw the min at 11 Eastern. I'm going to check at the same time tomorrow etc, but as much as a pita it is to make a DK, it's much easier than waiting six weeks.
Good luck. And to the DK who missed it, I hope you come back and get yours soon.

Kommentar von YungSteezy

Alright here is my story. The day is about 10 days before legion goes live. I've read all the forums here and warcraft pets and tried everything.

Things that WONT work.
The flight path macro trick. That got patched a long time ago and it now says you cant start a pet battle while traveling.

Things that MIGHT help
Download Cross Realm Assist addon and see if you can instance yourself into other realms. The catch here is that since legion is out now it will only instance you into another felwood if like somebody in that group is already in felwood. So 90% of the groups wont instance you into a new instance, but if you want its worth a try.

What worked for ME
My realm is pretty busy so I followed the advice on here and made a death knight on Aman'Thul -- a low pop oceanic server. Originally I really didn't want to do that I thought it would be a waste of time, but it only takes 1 hour if you are quick. Around night time (USA time) there were very few people in the zone so less cahnce of somebody killing you/stealing your minfernal. The downside is that you will be restricted to a ground mount, but if all your main chars are on a very busy server I would still recommend rolling an oceanic dk.

I tried the strategy of slaughtering Infernal Sentrys for a combined total of maybe 4-5 hours across 3 days and got nothing. I came back on here and read a comment about killing the critters/other battle pets and decided to try that. I had done it in the past for a few hours and not seen anything but I figured it was worth a try again. It took about 20 min of killing all the rats and moths and stuff around the pools (along with some Infernal Sentrys as well) and then a minfernal appeared on the west of the westernmost middle pool. It could have been chance, but I had been afking most of the day and running around every hour or so and seen nothing. I believe that killing critters opened up the spawn for minfernals. So if I were you I would try that.

The Spawn
Some notes, it was about 1:45PM on Amun'Thul, (11:45pm Eastern Time) and it was raining in the zone.... although I really don't think that matters. Best of luck to anyone else going for a minfernal. In total it took me about 3 days. Logging on and off every few hours and spending 3-4 hours every day killing and camping.

TL:DR
Roll a DK on a low pop Oceanic Server
Kill all critters (and maybe Infernal Sentrys too)

Got incredibly lucky. Was finishing up some pet achievements and decided to check Felwood for the Minfernal (not expecting any to actually be there, as I'm on a high pop realm), but I managed to find a single Minfernal running around!

Good luck to others!

Like most people I never saw one spawn on my server (Medivh) even after parking an alt in Felwood and checking several times a day. There were usually at least 2 other people hunting them. So I decided to create a Death Knight on the lowest pop server with no linked server which for the Americas is Tol Barad Brazil, only 76,000 total characters including both factions. Felwood was a ghost town and I got one after my third or fourth check.

Now I'm heading down to Tanaris to see if I can get an Infinite Whelpling, I've checked so many times on Medivh the last few days that it's making me wonder if Legion broke them.

Edit: There were swarms of Infinite Whelpling in Tanaris, I picked up on of each breed and there are around 20 left. Did not kill any hunting for rares, I like to leave them for other people and it's easy to get stones now.

Let me preface this comment by stating that I am not claiming to know how the minfernal spawn actually works. This could have been coincidence. But I wanted to stop by and share what I was doing when this spawned just in case there is some sort of association. I know I am not the only person who has made these associations, I also know that people disagree.

I've been swinging by the spawn points for months. The past week I have actually dedicated a toon to just sitting over the pools and having her log in every few hours. This is the first time I have even seen a minfernal, thankfully I didn't have much competition. My server is pretty dead in the mornings even with CRZ (I caught mine around 8:40am PST).

Not exactly sure what I wanted to work on first today, I flew my camped toon around gathering some ore and battling pets to level some of my lower levels. I figured since I had done that I might as well kill some of these infernals (the flavor text does hint towards a relation). Seriously, I barely made two passes through the infernals before one popped up top (44, 41 I think it was). It was poor quality, but I did not care. I nabbed that little fella and I'll just use a stone on him.

Kommentar von ThunderZtormDK

I don't know if they've changed the spawnrate or something - but I just found LOADS of Minfernals wandering about - without even really looking for them.

Captured two, but there were still plenty. At one point I had FOUR visible on my screen just walking about.

Kommentar von SaltLB

My advice is hit it early. Keep an alt in the area and log on before you go to work, say around 6 AM? Might not always be one there for you but at least the chance of you competing with another player for the pet battle is reduced.

Kommentar von tforce65

This may have been posted before, just brining it to the top of the posts.

Creating an Oceanic DK toon was easily the best way to catch this pet.

But you should know that if you're hoping to get credit for the Kalimdor Safari & World Safari achievements, you won't. :(

Kommentar von venndann

Took me an hour and I got an uncommon minfernal on first try. This strategy worked for getting a Scourged Whelpling on an overfarmed server so I thought I'd try it for the minfermal. Most of the hour was spent making a DK on a low-pop BRAZIL server. Flew to Whisperwind Grove, seeing a bunch of minfernals on the ground as I passed over them. There were 4 in close proximity. The first one I fought was uncommon, so I left the others alone. Good luck, folks!

Kommentar von avatarofshadow

What I did just now was create a level 100 test Mage on a low pop server, hit Hearthstone, trained the Darnassus port, ported to Darn, flew to Felwood, and boom, two Minferals waiting for me. Wish I'd done it yesterday, instead of spending a few hours camping them on one of my regular characters.

Kommentar von Linderel

Caught one just now; alas, it's only a Common, but I'll take what I can get. Appeared after I'd killed some 15 or 20 Infernals and murdered a couple of Tainted Rats in battle. Don't know how high the correlation is, but there you have it.

Kommentar von gottabethebest1

With Legion came the lv100 Trial toons; I just started a Tauren on Aman'thul (Oceanic), used free portal stone to go to Garrison, then portals to Orgrimmar. Flight paths are all there, I can fly and have fast flight speed, I checked pet battles in Orgrimmar. Flying to Felwood now.

12:14am PST - HOLY FRICK just flew in and they are everywhere.

Caught one - but there are more, so I'll hunt for a better quality one. Registered in my achievements.

This is the greatest thing I've ever done. Tauren are amazing.

Kommentar von squidbob

Log onto a low population server and do the rounds where this pet spawns.

got mine in 5 minutes of logging onto a low pop server.

Kommentar von Ainguss

Spent a lot of time looking for this guy on Whisperwind server and finally decided to followed the advice of previous posters. Created a DK on the Saurfang server. Spent about 2 hours finishing quests so I could get him out of the newb area. Ended up in Orgrimmar and flew to Felwood. There were about 5 minfernals about. I chose one and he was green so I am happy. Good luck fellow pet masters!

Kommentar von Jacoblr28

I didn't even know I had this thing. I guess it's rare but I found one and got it because it looked cool. so lucky me

Kommentar von ShaktiVel

I finally got my Minfernal after following advice on Wowhead. Made a DK on a low pop Brazil server and did the work to get her to Felwood. There weren’t any Minfernals around when I got there, but no one was camped waiting either. I cleared all of the battle pets in the area and logged out. I logged back in a few hours later and saw my first Minfernal. I got two uncommons, but never did find a rare. I kept logging in casually and there were always Minfernals around, but never any rares, but never anyone camped either. Got a Flawless Battle Stone from one of my Minfernal battles and just used that. Now my DK is camped waiting for baby apes :)

Side note: I realized the most important thing is to clear the battle pets in the area. When I was farming Obsidian Warbeads for hours in the same cave (just NE of Halaa), there were two mining nodes that would spawn in the cave as quickly as I could clear it. I cleared them each time I went through and about 10% of the time at least one would be khorium instead of adamantite. I realized it’s the same with the battle pets – Minfernals can’t spawn if you don’t clear the tainted rats. And it definitely helps to be on a server where no one is camped.

Kommentar von Amah

The minfernal is still a slow, incredibly maddening spawn. It seems to share a respawn with all the other battle pets in the area. Worked with a buddy to kill all the other battle pets in the Shattered Scar Vale. Killing the infernals didn't seem to work. Nor did it matter that we killed the rare infernal silver dragon. We worked the area off and on for 3 days, no luck. We saw a lot of other folks from other servers working the area, so it may be that one spawned and someone else grabbed it. Finally my buddy rolled a DK on a low population server that doesn't CRZ, an RPPVP server, and was able to capture a minfernal after a restart. The little guy was east of the three pits towards the named quest target, around 47, 39. My buddy caught the wanderer's festival turtle easily. There were 3-4 with no competition. Good luck and happy hunting.

Kommentar von Aynsranitar

Read somewhere that this guy was harder to find than Unborn Val'kyr, which took me 2 days to find and I just caught a couple hours ago.

Flew into Felwood from Hyjal and he's the first thing I see. (45,38)

Kommentar von naenae312

I always check Felwood every day on the servers that I have alts on and sure enough there will be a minfernal or two up. Since I already have one, I do my good deed of helping others get them. Ill make a group on the server letting people know that one has popped up on the realm that I am on. So if you guys ever see a group about pet collectors join it for you Minfernal!

Kommentar von WorgN6

I don't know if this is the norm, but I checked a dead US realm the other morning at like 3am, and there were at least a dozen Minfernals up. Way, way more than should've been. I'm guessing the spawn has been increased substansially.

Kommentar von Hobbyhorse

I'm looking for a P/P Minfernal and have three chars in different realms place at this zone.

I did look for Minfernal at two chars, there was none. At the third char I found one, but it was not P/P. I dit take another look at the other two and I did found one at both chars.

For me, Minfernal did respam on those three realms at same timestamp.

Kommentar von grammieof9

Well guys, after 3 hours of killing, battling and more killing, doing everything you said to do. Well, I STILL have yet to see the first one. So, I tried to do a dance step or 2 and a pirouette. Doc said my broken ankle will heal nicely. On the bright side, I WILL have time now to camp him.

Kommentar von ilonarain

I got one at 44, 22 after first serverhop (Chamberofaspects-eu)

Kommentar von Tynael

I got this pet after 2 hours of killing Tainted Rats and Infernal Sentry inside and outside the Shatter Scar Vale.

Kommentar von Maeragh

Found one, only one, at coords 41, 44, on Bleeding Hollow server at approximately 4:20 pm EST today (9/16/17). It was a Lvl 14 Common, so I gently battered it down with my Lvl 11 Fluxfire Feline and captured with a Lvl 13 Stinkbug. Hope this helps someone.

Kommentar von Cyrica89

I cant believe this worked.

I made a DK on an oceanic realm (low pop), once I got out of the starter zone I used the flightpath to get to the minifernal spawning area. It was immediatly available, and also a rare.

I highly reccomend trying this strat out, at the very least you'll have a toon on a great realm for getting this pet.

Kommentar von pmb78

Got a rare on Silver Hand at 5:00 am realm time. Have seen them the same time the past 2 days, Immolatus was up both times as well.

Kommentar von bluesolei

as for 28 oct, patch 7.3.2 this pet seems no longer be rare spawn, visited area and there's around 5-6 of them spawned

Kommentar von themudhud

Finally had my moment to catch this elusive pet!

After a difficult time finding any updated information, was able to be home during an afternoon maintenance window for Blizzard. The maintenance window was supposed to end at 1 PM PT and I kept checking for the servers to come back up. As soon as they did, I logged into my toon that was camped near the minfernal area and no joke, there was one waiting. After all this time, there it was and the Zookeeper achievement was mine!

Don't camp out - just get yourself setup for the servers to come back online and have your toon waiting. The minfernal was in the area that everyone has explained.

Kommentar von Rhacius

I remember this being extremely rare and spending hours trying to catch it as it was the last one I was missing for some achievement, and then I was leveling an alt the other day through Felwood and there were mininfernals spawned all over the place. I caught 2 extra ones and there were still some left!

Basically, if you want to catch one don't be disheartened by these outdated comments saying how rare they are.

Kommentar von Kemaria

I farmed the infernal sentries for over an hour and not a single minfernal appeared. Just lots of Besudelte Ratte that met swift and vengeful ends once they encountered me. I'm on a low pop PVE server, and just as I was about to log out and check again later, I asked a real ID buddy on a high population RP server to help me out. He came over to Felwood, so I would actually transition over to his server, and it worked! Minfernals were literally everywhere! Instead of periodically aarghing over yet another Besudelte Ratte appearance and wishing in vain for a new green pawprint to appear on my minimap, I now had my choice of precisely which minfernal I felt like battling, and my friend got to get his own as well. When I left group and transitioned back to my realm, all the remaining minfernals disappeared again.

I had a similar experience recently when I wanted to tame some low-level rare hunter pets. None were available on my realm and they seemed determined not to be available no matter how long I waited or how many times I came back to check. As soon as a I joined a group with a friend on a high population server (a PVP one that time), every pet was just where I wanted it to be.

Just wanted to post this in case it helps anyone else: try to group up with friends on high population servers who will come over to the zone to help you out. This will make you happy, and it will make the Besudelte Ratte population very happy, too. :)

Kommentar von BeauCharles

First try getting it there was one spawned and he turned out to be a rare. Kind of surprised at all the comments how difficult it was to find. Maybe there's a better spawn rate now.

Kommentar von webzagar

One spawned today almost immediately after I killed all the tainted rats in the area. Don't know if I got lucky or if the spawn points are shared but worth a try.

Kommentar von kenstrobell

FINALLY!
I just got 3 minfernals on Ner-Zul. I have been trying to farm for weeks, no luck. I log in once to a different server, literally DOZENS walking around. I got 3 in 1 minute. Server hop my friends!

Kommentar von VanAllTheNames

I've been trying for this since pet battles first became available.
They must have recently adjusted the amount, as like others, I logged in to find about 5 of them just chillin in Shatter Scar Vale.

Kommentar von Kannane

I can confirm that these are now plentiful (at least on Blackwater Raiders). After battling probably a dozen or so of these I saw 3-4 uncommons, no rares. Decided to use a battlestone instead.

Kommentar von mistmare

I think these are pretty common now or I just got lucky around spawn time. Saw a ton on Dalaran server 40.19 40.32 in Felwood about 2:15pm server time. Announced in Zone, no one seemed to care. I caught 3, one rare and left the rest up for other ppl.

Kommentar von Ehayen

In 2020 these are still a rare spawn but since nobody cares about them anymore there's no rush to pounce on it when it appears.

So if you're a completionist just trying to get all your pets, no need to worry.

Kommentar von Volkerniek

~~After reading all the comments about it:~~
~~I thought that the most practical and simple thing would be to go to another realm, create a new character and, as one of the comments suggested, be able to get it but,~~

UPDATE:
Paying attention to the description of the pet in the Pet Journal in the game, in fact, also here→ Höllchen) you can read the following:

¨These ill-tempered constructs of flame and rage > > > sometimes rise < < < from the remains of LARGER INFERNALS who fall in battle.¨

so killing about 2 or 3 Höllenbestienwachposten, which are in the area,

Here, a little guide to help you:

Höllenbestienwachposten
/way 43.8, 38.2
/way 45.2, 39.8
/way 44.2, 41.6
/way 45.4, 43.0
/way 43.2, 42.8
/way 42.0, 43.2
/way 41.8, 41.6
/way 41.0, 41.6
/way 41.0, 40.0
/way 42.6, 40.6

after a while,

and for my luck, an Höllchen Level 14 Poor type showed up!

I hope it serves you well.

Good luck!

Kommentar von SabertoothBunny

Caught a green Minfernal today, first time I have ever seen these things spawn in all the many, many moons I have been playing WoW. Finally finished the Kalimdor Safari because of it. Today is October 6, 2020 at about 11:2pm EST.

Kommentar von Azgares

I never really tried camping this or forcing a spawn, I'd just check every so often before I logged off for the night on and off for the past few years and I never saw one.

I recently resubbed for the SL pre-patch and did a flyover and 5 of them were spawned. Not sure if the spawnrate was changed or just insanely lucky.

Kommentar von Chree0138

Unsure if there was a fix. Landed and there was 6 ofem!. Needless to say, grabbed 3!

Kommentar von vortha

9:36 pm server time and the Scared Vale was crawling with them. Caught a green first one I found, went through several more and found the rare. At least a half dozen wandering around.

Kommentar von wellspj

It seems that as of patch 9.05 the first time I have looked in a while there are now tons of them spawning, I thought to check and there are around 10 up.

Kommentar von arisen1

I remember when I went to get my Minfernal many years ago, it took quite a bit of time and effort to finally capture one, but that no longer appears to be the case. The area is quite literally filled with them now. Either their spawn rate was dramatically increased or simply nobody is hunting them anymore. So if you've been wanting one of these for years and have had no luck, now would be the best time to get one. Who knows if/when they will nerf the spawn rate again.

Kommentar von Quebecfirst

I can confirm that as of patch 9.1.5 when I arrived in the area there was a bunch of them second fight I got a rare that I killed by mistake of having a level 25 pet... :'( well anyway was able to get a green :D it appears to me though that it is because nobody is hunting them anymore because I have been waiting forever for them to respawn and nope … I wonder what is their respawn time …

Kommentar von howlwhite

These are now super common or undercamped. I captured several and released the lowest, least desirable breed/rarities, until I got what I wanted. There were about 8-10 up when I arrived and they respawned quickly.

Kommentar von Florack

Not sure if things have changed - been a long time sense anyone else posted - but, I am leveling in this zone right now (retail WoW). And these guys are everywhere. Don't seem to rare anymore. Unless I am just REALLY lucky.
