Kommentar von Tiefflieger

Sprecht mit Älteste Anli und wählt "Ich möchte mit einer Babyschlange Fangen spielen". Danach habt Ihr eine Jungtier-Wolkenschlange als Begleiter und einen Flummi.

Vorweg: Ist der Flummi in der Luft, könnt Ihr an einem Schatten auf dem Boden erkennen, wo er landen wird.

Der Ablauf ist folgendermaßen:

Werft den Flummi
Automatisch: Euer Jungtier fängt den Flummi und wirft ihn wieder (*)
Ihr müsst dorthin, wo der Flummi auf dem Boden aufkommt, um den Flummi zu fangen. Habt ihr den Flummi gefangen, geht es sofort automatisch mit 1. weiter.

(*) Ihr müsst hier also nichts selber tun - Zwar könntet Ihr den von Euch geworfenen Ball wieder selber fangen, aber das zählt nicht für den Erfolg

Sonstige Tipps:

Ich habe den Erfolg bei 57;43 geholt, da dort viel Platz zum Herumrennen ist.
Zieht euch den Erfolg in Eure Questanzeige (z.B. per Shift-Klick), um den Verlauf zu überprüfen
Der Zähler wird nicht sofort zurückgesetzt, gebt also nicht gleich auf, wenn ihr mal einen Flummi verfehlt

1. You need to be on daily quest:
- Fang!

2. Find non-crowded spot in Arboretum, I've done it arround "53,41"... (else it can bug)...

3. Keep bouncing till your reach 25 bounces.

Really easy and enjoyable achievement! Have fun!

Notes:
- Potions of speed or druid travel form works lovely
- It can be difficult to do it, if you're on busy realm, with a lot of people doing very same quest at same time.

Kommentar von DeathMaster

Appears to be bugged. Dropped the ball after 18 Jongleur and started over. I was then granted the achievement after 7 stacks.

Kommentar von Tyro

You can do this achievement when the daily Catch! is up OR any other day by asking Elder Anli for your serpent to play with (she will also give you the ball). You have to be revered to do it on the non-quest day, though.

Your biggest challenge will be finding an area in The Arboretum without a ton of other people and their own serpents, and getting lucky with some terrain geometry that doesn't bug out (your serpent can throw the ball "under" some of the terrain). The crowded problem is pretty much completely eliminated by requesting your pet on a day when the daily isn't up from Elder Anli. The corral area next to Elder Anli is nice and flat and makes a good starting point.

If you miss a catch and need to start over, you may have to click off the "Juggler" buff to be able to throw the ball again. Fortunately the counting system for the achievement seems a bit buggy and will not always reset when you miss a catch, so you can rethrow and work your way up to 25.

Kommentar von Pwuebear

When you catch the ball, you will toss it roughly in the same direction you are facing. I'd estimate within a 45-60 degree angle. So this may help you narrow the area in which you are running around catching the ball. The first few times I did it it kept tossing them into the mountains around the pagoda. So going into the forest area closer to the Temple of the Jade Serpent, but still within the Arboretum area, really helped me a lot. I hope this helps you to have a good time with your Jade Hatchling!

Kommentar von 126940

The hatchlings seem to be confused as well. I was AFK for a few minutes and someone else doing the daily had 3 other hatchlings including mine chasing the same ball. Now there's random shadows on the ground but there's nobody here doing the quest.

Kommentar von Moonfaxx

I ramped up the stack to over 50 just to see if anything would happen after the achievement at 25, but nothing did. Don't bother.

Tip: Try to face away from hills and water when you catch the ball. This will increase the chance that it doesn't go where you may have difficulty catching it. Also, the area south of the arboretum tends to have fewer obstacles (aside from the bugs you encounter).

Kommentar von adalberi

I was getting desperate about not getting the daily quest "Catch" when, quite by chance, I found out that you don't actually need it. Speak with Elder Anli and she will give you an option to play catch with a hatchling- not sure if a certain reputation is required: I might have either missed it before or the option was not there before I hit revered.

So do not worry too much- you will be able to do it even if your serpent grows up :-).

also the counter seems currently bugged so even if you drop the ball the number stays there- I hit 8 stacks then dropped the ball and then only needed to do the remaining 17 (and not 25 from the scratch). have fun!

Kommentar von Naojirou

The achievement-system is quite bugged atm. Your hatchling can throw the ball to the places you cant reach, other hatchlings will try to catch your balls and you can catch other people's balls. If you are trying this achievement, try to find a moment that noone around has hatchlings. And find an open field for your ball not to go into nether!

Kommentar von aryon

I don't like my hatchling anymore. I look forward to forcing it to fight in pet battles.

Kommentar von HigginZ

I'm confused. It can't be that difficult, but when I throw the ball the serpent doesn't move. If i throw it and run to the shadow, nothing happens. I've never gotten the Catch! quest, but I spoke to the lady and she gave me a ball to throw. Am i doing something wrong?

Kommentar von Hemingray

Somehow this got bugged and I was unable to use my Bouncy Ball. I received the message "You can't do that right now" or something to that effect. I noticed I still had the Juggler buff, and once I right-clicked to remove the buff, I could now use the Bouncy Ball again.

Kommentar von Hestiah

Some things I noticed to make this easier. Try to find a place away from the water. The terrain and water make it difficult to see where the dark circle is to know where the ball is going. Another thing I noticed is that if you run to "catch" the ball you just threw, it makes it easier to reach wherever your pet is throwing it. Especially since at times, you might have to run double the distance if you don't move at all during after your toss.

The increase is still kind of buggy. At the beginning I noticed it counted each time I threw the ball as well as when my pet threw the ball. Later (as I got closer to 25) it sometimes didn't count my pet's catch at all, but only counted my own.

Kommentar von pssilva

Some tips for this achievement
If you have one, use any buff that gives you speed, such as Aspect of the Cheetah. After bouncing the ball, go towards where your hatchling will catch it, so all points where the ball can land have the same distance. Set your camera distance to max in Interface. Lastly, you can catch the ball while mounted, but it will dismount you, however, you have enough time to go back to your mount and throw it back.

Kommentar von 14563

If you're doing this during the Hallow's End event then using the Magic Broom makes this pretty simple. With a 0 sec cast time, you can mount instantly after each catch and quickly move to the target location. I did this in the trees just south of the arboretum quest hub to avoid interaction issues with buildings.

Kommentar von OldDon

Hi all, I have just completed this chieve. I was getting very frustrated with the whole thing until I saw that there is a large black, circular area placed on to the ground where the ball is going to land. This seems to appear just after the smally serpent bats the ball and is a 'marker' for the land spot of the ball. It seems that rather than follow the shadow of the ball have your camera high above your head and simply look for this black circle/spot, run and stand in it and then wait for the ball to arrive.

I hope this helps :)

PS I am sure peeps will realise this but the direction that your toon is facing is the general direction that the ball will be released towards. This helps to direct the ball somewhere you would prefer it to land as opposed to off a cliff etc.

Kommentar von Zaxy

the catch game seems to have been nerfed drastically in the past week. while there are still a couple glitches, the ball doesn't bounce nearly as far each time, and the shadow is much more visible on the ground. for those having trouble, i found it VERY helpful to not only run to the large shadow that was MY catch spot, but also to head toward the smaller one (that is the serpent's catch spot) so that wherever the hatchling launches it toward, you have a relatively minimal travel distance. also (tho it was stated previously) be sure to catch your ball facing in the direction you WANT it to go. with very little effort, you can keep it right in the center area, well away from water, mountains, or aggressive mobs!
happy bouncing! :D

Kommentar von 1050905

Still glitched as of 10/30. Got this achievement this morning with only 12 stacks (after dropping it a few times).

I stayed in the clearing near the cloud serpent racing and found it to be fairly easy once I knew what to do.

The ball will cast a large black shadow where it's going to land immediately after the serpent "throws" the ball. Be within this shadow before the ball lands (or slightly after it lands) to bounce it back
Zoom out as far as possible before starting. You often won't be able to see the ball, but you should always be able to see the shadow if you keep the ball in the clearing

Make sure to direct the ball by facing the direction you want it to go. You should have 1-2 seconds to turn after the ball falls (even if you barely reach the shadow before it lands), so this isn't too difficult

Kommentar von jtbalogh

Prepare yourself:
1. Speak to Elder Anli to play with your hatchling and get a ball.
2. Raid mark your hatchling so you can see where it runs.
3. Start in the middle of the largest training area nearby at 57,43.

Start the event:
4. Use the and quickly get on your mount.
5. Catch up to the hatching if you can, so it does not have to run back to you. The reason is the hatchling casts throw and interrupts itself trying to run back to you too early.
6. Go to the large shadowed ground where the ball is thrown, or just follow the ball.
7. Aim yourself toward the middle of the training area so the ball stays in the area.
8. Just wait there until the ball lands.
9. You will automatically throw it and dismount, so quickly get back on your mount.
10. Repeat step 5.
11. See your Bouncing ball buff stack every time you throw.

Event got stuck?
Your Bouncing ball buff is stuck on your character and you cannot throw another ball?
The hatchling stopped throwing it because he got interrupted trying to run back to you?
Then,
- Right-click to remove the Bouncing Ball buff on your player.
- Start the event again above in step 4.
- Ignore the counter since wrong anyway now.
- You only need to throw the remaining balls to reach 25 and not have to start over.

Kommentar von Samaramon1

Still bugged, got 24 the first time and then my hatchling threw it off the waterfall (lol), and I picked it up again, caught it once, and got the achievement.

Kommentar von YariniCeteri

When doing this on November 11th I noticed a few things that weren't mentioned in other posts, so I figured I'd make a compilation post to help people get this achieve. It took me two tries to get this achievement, and while I was awarded the achieve with only 15 stacks of Juggler (not because I did 10 on my first try and it bugged, I only got to 4 on my first try) I could have gone longer with this strat.

First of all, in order to do the achieve, you will need for the daily to be Catch! Alternatively, you can talk to Elder Anli and ask for the ball if you're revered.

Once you get the ball you'll be followed by a little cloud serpent. Please note that he'll NEVER miss the ball, but will throw it terribly. Below is a note on how I countered his terrible throwing.

Next, I suggest raid marking you hatchling with a bright colour that you'll be able to distinguish easily (like the red cross or the purple diamond). Though this isn't necessary, it would make it easier to see in a hurry if need be.

Finally, what most people talk about in their posts is how ridiculous the hatchling throws the ball, and how impossible it is to catch some of his throws. I suspect this is because they end up in the river nearby, or a in cluster of trees, making catching some of the throws much more difficult.

You can do the entirety of this achievement without moving 5 yards from your starting point. When your hatchling throws the ball, a black circle appear (fairly large and noticeable). this is where the ball will land, and standing on the edge will ensure you catch the ball, as opposed to following the ball, which can be difficult due to a lack of depth perception in most camera modes.

Also, when standing on the edge of the circle waiting for the ball, face whichever way you want to go (most likely in a square rotation). Because your hatchling always throws the ball straight, it's up to you to dictate where it goes. So if you turn yourself 90 degrees in the same direction, you can do it in a square, and you can pre-select a flat and easy to navigate place. I found this helped me to get it done easily and quickly.

If this helped you drop a comment, if not, the same. Just need feedback.

Kommentar von Chiba

I just did this and even though I dropped the ball several times and had to start over it just kept counting. So I basically just had to throw the ball 25 times. Fixed or bugged?

Kommentar von Avengion

The counter on the achievement tracker does indeed bug out and keep track even though it says, "25 Bounces in a row without dropping it". This wont always happen however. As a paladin who has some nice vanity items I dropped Anatomische Puppe and used my Judgement with Der lange Arm des Gesetzes talent. Good luck to other classes use your speed increasing spells and passive talents/enchants

Another pointer in case the ball starts straying into dangerous territory (water, vertical terrain, etc etc) the Serpent will bounce the ball in a random direction YOU however can control your bounce by the way you are facing.

Good Luck!

Kommentar von argogruelin

This achievement is very easy to do without any speed buffs. When you throw the ball, follow your pet, no matter which direction he throws it it will be the same distance to catch. Say you and your pet both throw it 10 yards, if your pet throws it away from you and you stood in your original spot you would have to run 20 yards to catch it. but if you follow your pet no matter which way he throws it it's only 10 yards.

Kommentar von 245300

Very easy if you:

1. Max your camera distance

2. Turn camera view down onto top of your head

3. Throw ball, and run with your pet to shadow

4. Look for next shadow - you can influence the direction in which your pet throws the ball, so turn and face the direction in which you want to run.

This will stop you running into water/trees/buildings, and keep you inside/near the pen.

Good luck!

Kommentar von natassja72

You can easily steer the ball, just face youself towards where you want the ball go (roughly) whenever it's your turn to return your ball and it will follow the direction.

I have uploaded screenshot with 100+ stacks of Jongleur buff, which determines how many times the ball has been caught in a row. Hopefully it will gets approved.

Kommentar von 1001369

Bugged? as of 28/05, got about 27 stacks of juggler, no achi.

Kommentar von 418702

BUGGEDtried this one today, made it to 21 and the ball ended up on a fence post and couldn't get to it in time. i started over and at 4 stacks the achievement popped. not going to about that lol

Kommentar von HobDawgh

Confirmed working.

Kommentar von Vargur

There is now a yellow target on the ground, where the ball is about to fall, making it really easy to catch it.

Kommentar von Silvansaria

I just completed this ACH.

It's not a running count - meaning - if you drop it or don't do anything - the count still goes on. I tested this by looking at the count when I was at 7/25 and then letting it completely drop and start again.

The count didn't reset but continued from 7 until I got the ACH so technically it doesn't matter how many times you drop it I guess - the count is sticky - although it's fun to actually *try* and do it right.

You don't need the daily to do this quest - just ask Elder Anil (as previously stated) to play with the serpent and voila...

Kommentar von CrimsonK

This achievement is very easy to do. Mainly because of two factors:

First of all it is still bugged, so you do not need to get 25 consecutive.

Secondly you can still toss the ball while mounted, which makes this achievement extremely easy to complete.

Kommentar von Rahaf

One of the very good places to do this achievement is the RING next to the Flight master .. I got this Smoothly done. JUST Don't forget to follow the ball on your Hatchiling circle so that the next drop would be close to you.

Have a nice Bouncing Game

Have Fun ! :)

Kommentar von Impact009

It seems like the quest has been changed. Your character can now indeed throw the ball behind himself or herself, and certain mounts like Icebound Frostbrood Vanquisher will cause your pet to not chase the ball.

Kommentar von Entrophius

As of 15/12/2013 it seems to be working, but you might get it before the counter reaches 25. Two tips for making it easier; 1. Mount up. 2. Use the large circle with the 3 serpents and their breeders. 3. Face your character towards where you want to throw the ball, I'd recommend trying to get it in the center as much as possible.

Kommentar von Kaitrosebd

I have yet to be able to do this quest, it has never shown up for me. Anyone else with this issue or a fix?

Kommentar von Myloxe

For a really easy and safe way of doing this Achievement, follow these steps:

Grab the questFang! and then fly away so your Pet despawns.

Now, fly back to the quest area and begin to throw a ball, the ball will now land on the ground without the pet there, but you will still get credit for it.

Remove the buff Jongleur from yourself, throw the ball again and repeat untill you reach 25.

Hope it helps :)

Kommentar von Hyperboreya

don't know if it works for mounted person, but definitely works for druid in fly form - makes it easier to move fast, got mine today

Kommentar von manveru

To make it easier to catch the ball in time, you can actually catch the ball while mounted. I just got the achievement doing it this way.

Kommentar von Gwalchgwyn

Druids can do this in flight form, and you can take off between throws without an issue.

Also, note that it is not 25 catches in a row, just 25 catches.

Kommentar von riaa

In WoD you just talk to Älteste Anli for practicing catch with a baby serpent. Then you just throw the ball to it and run to the arrows and so on and so fort. Very easy achievement now :) You dont need to be in flightform or mounted, very short run each time.

Please upvote for WoD'ers :)

Kommentar von Pelontir

Still bugged as of July 10th, 2016, patch 6.2.3: so if you don't catch the ball, don't worry, just start over again, the counter will continue where it was.

Kommentar von AwScz

Don't make the same mistake as me. I waited 1 month for Fang! daily quest to shows up. Then I realize that you can play with your hatchling anytime. Just select "I would like to practice catch with a baby serpent" at NPC Älteste Anli.

Kommentar von Smokingwolf

Fairly easy in 2020. Theres a big circle and arrow where you should go next so nobrainer really. And you dont need any daily quest for it, just ask to play with your pet.

Kommentar von okutane

Please! Don't throw it to the water .. ah okay a pack of angry bees. Died at 23/25, but should be fairly easy with your main.

Kommentar von auryunderground

I finally got the Jongleur buff to quit stacking at 255 stacks. Sadly, there were no other achievements to go with this. I was really hoping that Schattenspringer had some hidden follow-up.

Kommentar von Blueyan

This must be bugged because I just got the achievement after only 8 catches. Ther daily wasn't up so I just spoke to the NPC to get the ball. I then moved to the large circular area with three dragons and their handlers. It was really easy to see the catch spot there as there were no overhanging trees. I'm a hunter with the trailblazer talent so it made moving to the correct spot a breeze.

Kommentar von xLunacyx

My ball went into a house then immediately outside behind the house, so yeah I couldn't get to it in time. T_T

Kommentar von xLunacyx

Got this bug where the ball went into water, the serpent didn't go to catch it, and subsequent balls would just say "you can't do that yet"
So I relog and throw the ball again, but the yellow circle persisted for awhile and got the same "you can't do that yet" also hatchling was missing so I went to get a new ball and hatchling again
I now have 4 bouncy balls in my inventory, reset again and get the achievement after a few more tosses, since it doesn't reset.
