I made a YT vid of the event Tof6j-WqI-I

the only clue to where the event takes place in from the extra calendar description to go to Frayfeather Highlands in Feralas

so my boosted toon didn't have a mouse hover for this location

Unless your a druid and can use dreamway portals directly to Feralas
Fastest ways there for (Horde) is to port to TB and fly south
(Alliance) should port to Uldum and fly Northwest

location is by these mob
Fransenfederhippogryph/frayfeather-hippogryph

you click an egg in a nest and stand by it
it will start to hatch and you get some RP text dialogue
a baby bird sit on your shoulder and removes your shoulder armor(not sure if intended)
and has some bonus RP text dialogue when you fight stuff

once you hatch the egg you 24 buff
not sure if you lose it if you die
but there is an 110 mob elite if you kill drops an item to turn the event buff to last 5 days

Kommentar von MaXiiczek

They should definitely make a toy for that Hippogryph hatchling on the shoulder... So... Please? Could you? Pretty please?

Kommentar von royalecheese

If you run directly west from the Ruins of Isildien up to the mountain edge of the zone, you will find Frayfeather Highlands.

Kommentar von Duxjan

Basics is to find a nest with an egg in it.

Stand next to it for about 1 minute until it hatches.

No need to accept a quest or mouse-click the egg.

Eggs also will show up on you minimap.

For TomTom users here is an example:

/way 54.77 65.82

Kommentar von Shadowblader

This is one of the many Micro Holidays that happen throughout the year. There is no reward for doing these holidays, so you can skip them, or just enjoy the event.

Fly to Stonemaul Hold (Horde), or Tower of Estulan (Alliance) in western Feralas.
Fly south and follow the mountain range towards the Ruins of Isildien, hugging the right side of the mountains until you get to Frayfeather Highlands. On your map if it is visable, you should see a small lake that looks like a dog bone.

Locate an egg in the Highlands, and then stand on the egg for about 60 seconds.
You will get a hatchling that sits on your shoulder, as well as receive a 24 hour buff that reads: Frayfeather Hatchling; Mama! 24 hours remaining.
The hatchling will give random /emotes like dozing off, appears to be learning, and is impressed if you kill high level mobs.

There is also an Elite freyfeather that flys around 54, 71.
The name of the Elite mob is Lorthalium, Ancient Frayfeather Matriarch.
She has about 54M health, and drops a Spectral Feather, which will extend your hatchlings buff duration to 5 days.

An easy guide to doing this event! Do it before it's over!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSxD9QWweo0&feature=youtu.be

Kommentar von Hessefretter

players can grief the boss so that the other faction doesn't get the benefit make this boss for both factions.

Kommentar von Quezako

After getting the buff, you can extend it to 5 days by killing Lorthalium.
He is at /way 55.31, 74.32

Be warned, if you join a raid group, it is 5 group tagged.
So you'd better join a 5 group on a small server.
It is hard to solo, you'd better be a least 5 to kill it.

Kommentar von howlingmist

Be warned! The Frayfeather hippogryph hatchling that spawns on your shoulder gets rid of your shoulder armor graphically. Otherwise, it's adorable!

Kommentar von alessandrouw

Since nobody else have yet mentioned, let me get this out of the way: It seems there is no "reward" for doing this event, such as an achievement, toy, pet, etc. It seems that most micro-holiday events are just for fluff. Not a bad thing, but completionists can take a breath and just enjoy/pass the event without worries.

Kommentar von RavenshireHS

Both shoulder AND helm appearances are replaced with this little guy.

Additionally, for Druids:

Travel form: Not visible
Boomkin form: Only his head is visible
Tree form: Not visible
Guardian form: Only his head is visible
Astral form: You are transparent, the chick is not
Cat form: Rides between your shoulders

Edit: fixed boomkin form appearance - thanks watergirl :)

Kommentar von Shizunay

Please note! If you go in to arenas... the buff will be removed! But can get another egg once out.

Kommentar von Nayen

Fly to the south west corner of Feralas. The nests are located at and around the Ruins of Isildien.

I tested this out this morning and can confirm that the buff and the hatchling persist through death.

Looks like this little guy is sticking around for the full 5 days!

Kommentar von Grammie

well I flew out to the area last night (didn't want to miss it) - logged ontoday sitting on nest with two eggs in it...I get { Oh, is the egg moving? The egg seems cold stay close to it. You hear a rustling sound inside the egg. The hippogryph inside the egg is struggling to escape. This is it! The egg is hatching! } and then nothing...the egg vanishes and I am left with yolk on my face. If only there were other ways to spend my day. Sigh.

After being booted from server I logged back in and he was sitting on my shoulder...what a cutie...I will try and post pics but it never works for me.

Paid for a taxi back to civilization only to get dumped in thousand needles river...little guy survived and I got the message {your little friend seems impressed with you} :)

Kommentar von Wimbleton

Two things to keep in mind: regardless of whether or not Lorthalium is being tanked by someone in the group, he will periodically ignore aggro and attack other members of the group (3 of us in mine) and...even more fun - he sticks you with some invisible (not indicated anywhere on my screen) debuff (called Grievous Wound) that continues to damage you (in my case, 5 or 6 repeating clicks of 45,840 each) even if you're not close to him. You can outrun him when he flies at you but you need to watch for when he starts to do that. We had a Feral, a Pally & a Shaman and it took us about 7 minutes.

It took me a while to figure out where to click to pick up the loot but it's there - just keep looking for the right spot. You can't just click anywhere on the corpse; it's close to his head.

Edit: Later did the same fight with my 100 Prot but many others to help, so it was really easy. The kill was worth about 25K XP. Not bad at all.

Kommentar von mforum

I tested on my paladin that the buff persists through death. So, die away my friends and fear not! Your infant will fly back onto your shoulders as soon as you possess your body again!

Edit: He doesn't appear anywhere that I've noticed when you use Sandstone Drake.

Step by step guide:

1. Take the portal from Dalaran (center point) to Caverns of Time, Tanaris.
2. Fly to Feralas.
3. Go to /way 54.3, 74.0. (Southwest Feralas, lower left portion of Ruins of Isildien on the world map)
4. Stand beside an egg (they are in big nests to either side). It does not matter if there are other people all standing next to the same lone egg.

The egg will get a blue ? over it and the following will appear in your chat window:

Oh? Is this egg moving?
The egg seems cold. Stay close to it to keep it warm.
You hear a rustling sound inside the egg.
The hippogryph inside is struggling to escape.
This is it! The egg is hatching!

Then a baby hippogryph appears on your shoulder. You get the buff Fransenfederküken on you for 24 hours. The buff hides your shoulder and head armor.

5. Go to /way 54.6, 71.8 and kill Lorthalium (Faction-tagged. No need for a group!). Loot it.
Useful macro:
/tar Lorthalium
/run SetRaidTarget("target",8)
6. Use the Spektralfeder it dropped and your baby hippogryph buff will be extended to 5 days. (Spektralfeder is a conjured item so even if you farm many, they will disappear when you log out.)

As you go about your quests and stuff, some emotes will appear in the chat window randomly:

Your Frayfeather Hatchling sighs contentedly.
Your Frayfeather Hatchling seems to be learning.
Your Frayfeather Hatchling starts to doze off.
Your Frayfeather Hatchling wants to see more of the world.
Your Frayfeather Hatchling digs its claws tightly into your shoulder.
Your Frayfeather Hatchling seems bored.
Your Frayfeather Hatchling seems impressed.
Your Frayfeather Hatchling stretches its wings.

The hatchling also makes tweeting sounds at random times.

P. S. You can have the Fransenfederküken on your shoulder and Pepe on your head at the same time. And summon your Hippogryphenjunges pet!

*Thanks for the additional emotes, albinoette!

Kommentar von greencatspryte

Quick note, I have the buff and had another spectral feather in my bag, however on logging back in this evening, the spare spectral feather is gone, so don't expect that you can stock up.

Kommentar von linny

There really is no point to this. You get the baby hippogryph that sits on your shoulder for 24 hours with the option to kill an elite that extends that to 5 days. After the time it is up it disappears. No pet or mount at the end. Sort of a waste of time.

Kommentar von Bramikar

It's 8:55pm on friday night and there's no eggs, no hatchlings, and no other people in the area for this event. I thought it went until midnight. Anyone else know what's going on?

Kommentar von Strokelock

Two Birds: 1 Stone (scuse the pun :)
Go to /way 54 74
There are 2 nests right there.
While you're there, Lorthalium will be flying right around the vicinity to massacre after you stomp on it's poor, sad, lonely egg as well!

As the mighty and majestic Lorthalium scoured over the warm, lush Frayfeather Highlands where it had meticulously placed it's tiny eggs to hatch, she heard a feint crack. Her sharp ears immediately knew from which direction the egg had opened.
Having only one chance per year at a successful hatch, her long gossamer wings instantly pointed her in the direction of the egg. She arrived almost instantly, but it was too late. A level 40 Alliance Druid had arrived which meant all hope was lost for her precious egg as she watched the Druid /dance in the nest with a hatchling on her shoulder. The offspring had bonded with the Druid.

Knowing that the hatchling would only survive for one day, she landed near the Druid and screamed with vicious intent.
The Druid turned and watched in terror as Lorthalium slowly walked toward her. Lorthalium would now rip the Druid into pieces for crushing her eggs and bonding with her Fransenfederküken.

As she jumped toward the druid with extreme prejudice, a level 110 Horde Warrior rode in and killed Lorthalium with 2 swings of his axe. Then he killed the level 40 Druid as well and /danced.

Moral of the story: Make sure there's not a pissed off warrior behind a tree!

Kommentar von Pandafera

If you wanna kill the elite, bring a group. or a raid. =P
Se quiser matar o hipogrifo elite que guarda os ovos, traga um grupo. ou uma raid. =P

Kommentar von Ellistrae

FOR all those with the rogue class pet they do stack 2 birds one on each shoulder. Im sure pepe also stacks

Kommentar von valepu

I know it's been stated in other comments but remember to use the feather before logging off for the day.
It's considered a conjured item (like Mage food) so it will disappear. I wanted to use the feather few minutes before the "buff" wore off but this morning the feather disappeared. I checked on the item description here on wowhead and discovered the sad truth
It's easy to miss since you won't expect a item dropped from a mob to be considered conjured

Kommentar von Madmaddynl

I so wish this ~~guy~~ girl was tameable

Kommentar von Lotpandemonium

As of 2022 it appears that you need to find a specific egg for you, just fly around and dismiss on the nest.

It will instantly have a blue marker and start emoting.

Kommentar von Maxiter

So is there any more significant thing to this micro-event or just that hatchling sitting on your shoulder for 5 days?
It's all nice and jazzy, but I kinda miss my hat, lmao

Kommentar von psych0sis

As of 10.0.5, the February Trading Post has two "Special" activities associated with this event:
Hatching of the Hippogryphs: Get a Hatchling to Perch on You
Hatching of the Hippogryphs: Obtain and use a Spectral Feather

Kommentar von OldAang

Tried standing on an egg for like 10 minutes, with no luck?

Kommentar von EpicPants25682

For those who showed up like me with no idea what the Hatching of the Hippogryphs event was about, it is super easy but I’d say you will need at least 1 other player for the boss - Lorthalium (the spectral hippogryph flying around in the local area)

Once you get to Frayfeather Highlands in Feralas, you should see some nests scattered everywhere and it is also on the mini map as yellow dots. You want to stand in the nests over each egg until you see some text appear in your chat box about it moving and eventually hatching.

Few things:

- stand over each egg for a few seconds. Dismount if you are mounted.
- if nothing happens when standing on the eggs in one nest, keep moving on to the next nest, standing on each egg until the text appears!
- you should see your toon with the hatchling on your shoulder if you were successful!
- The “Mama” buff will appear for 24 hours

Once you have the hatchling on your shoulder, you should then be able to attack the boss Lorthalium. Once you have defeated the boss, you should be able to loot an item called Spectral Feather. Use this and the buff increases from 24 hours to 5 days! And that’s it!

I can’t confirm if that feather is a 100% drop rate, but at the time I looted it was on first go with a nearby monk who also looted the item!

I know it is late now, but can always come back next year! :)

Kommentar von vladtepis

We found something exceedingly interesting today. The zone had about 50 players or so in it looking for eggs. Almost no one was getting them to spawn. We figured it was probably due to server or zone density. Flew back to Orgrimmar, turned Warmode on, flew back and got the blue egg within about 2 minutes. Other people had tried the same thing, with similar results.

Obviously be careful if you are not a PVP player (I am definitely not) but it definitely seemed to work.
