Must.Have!

Kommentar von 1696836

A must have mount, also jeez squawks grew up a lot since his last adventure with a monkey.

Kommentar von StrawHatZachary

This mount is a reference to the parrot of the same name from the Donkey Kong Country series. During certain levels, you could find him and hang on to his talons while you would fly through thorn mazes or travel up vertical mine-shafts. He's likely called Squawks due to the repetitive squawk he makes every time he coughs up corn pops/eggs from his beak in the DKC series.

Kommentar von Rossmallo

That is the most pissed-looking parrot I've ever seen.

Also, can't wait until we get a purple version worth several thousand times the price.

Kommentar von Ardinur

This mount has a chance to be the reward for participaing in Island Expeditions. As of the current beta version, all the Island Expedition mounts appear to be awarded randomly, but it's probably fair to assume that they have a higher drop chance when winning the scenario.

There are a total of 5 mounts from the Island Expeditions, with the other four being:
- Zwielichträcher
- Gischtqualle
- Qinshos ewiger Hund
- Klippenhornspringer

Got this today (19/8/2018) on EU from a PvP Island expedition win.

Kommentar von Delvi

Another parrot mount (red) from BfA is Sharkbait (Haihappens Lieblingskekse).

Kommentar von meganerd18

Question is, will these be like the Tanaan mounts from those four bosses where it was "you actually have a realistic, reasonable chance of getting at least one, and even all five if you keep at it", or will it be the usual "you have no hope of getting this in a million years unless you forsake everything else and just farm repeatedly for years, or get super extremely lucky"? The latter seems to have become Blizzard's favourite way to offer mount rewards, and it's seriously grating. It was fine when one or two mounts per expansion were like that, but they've gotten really carried away IMO. Now it's like "look at all these new mounts we're adding! But unless you're super lucky or super dedicated to farming rare spawns, you'll never actually get any". Especially Alliance, our reputation mounts this time around are all the same, just different coloured.

Got this today on EU from a HC Island expedition win. Just flew in my bags ;-)

Kommentar von NaThuRe

This mount is a very rare drop from island expedition. In order to even have a chance to get this mount, pirates must spawn in the island.

Pirates can be native from rotting mire island, or appear as special invasion in any island. They are one of the rarest invasions to spawn.

According to blizzard, the chances are higher in hard difficulties, which implies that mythic have the best chances.

Kommentar von ShadowPhoenx

Some great news on these drops and ways to have a better shot at them! For those who have not seen it yet, Wowhead posted an article that mostly spells out how to have a higher chance to get them and how this was determined:
https://www.wowhead.com/news=287456/how-drops-and-chances-for-island-expedition-items-work

So if you queue up with people and are wanting these, it seems best to kill the named rares, loot treasures and focus killing the mobs who are invading as well (when those occur (seemingly more in normal mode)) along with the same types of mobs who these drops belong too (and some of those are still being figured out). This may also mean not killing the elementals that spawn, as was mentioned by some in comments.... Good luck to all and credit to all those involved in figuring this out!

Kommentar von deathbecomezher

I FINALLY GOT IT! 209 attempts I got SQUAWKS! Had the Dire Mire island, already had pirates on it, I killed them all and the rares, looted chests, Then undead vykruls showed up, I finished killing the pirates (all on reg mode) we won and there he was in my bags! #squawks I am gonna submit proof :D

Kommentar von Kokiron

I got this guy last night on my 1st island expedition that I only went to b/c my friends needed a +1 for a mythic one. No idea if difficulty holds any bearing on the drop rate, but number of expeditions completed definitely doesn't.

Kommentar von Mitchevans

We know this mount will only drop after killing pirate themed mobs on an island expedition, but does that only include named mobs? I've been running normals non-stop on my sub 120 characters, and there doesn't seem to be any named pirate mobs in normals, unless you get lucky and there's an invasion.

Kommentar von Spicy

Just got mine in a normal expedition on my lvl 115 alt.
We killed a pirate at the very start of the Whispering Reef scenario named First Mate McNally. He appeared to the right of us as soon as we stepped off our boat. He was in a boat approaching the island with 2 non elite mobs.

Kommentar von MsWeatherwax

As a Brazilian I feel obligated to get this mount.

Kommentar von Murketta

Got this mount yesterday 15/10/18 after farming a normal run.

Kommentar von porkieee

Just received this mount from a Normal mode Dire Mire island. I only killed one pirate NPC, which was a ghostly rare pirate called Dreadbeard.

Kommentar von Aiyun

Me and another person got this while we were getting boosted, so it can drop multiple. Sadly, our booster didn't get one.
There was a pirate invasion and I was skreaming "INVASION! It can drop mount!" We killed the invasion and got to the final invasion boss from a cannon.
I was able to loot one of the treasure chests after the boss and viola! victory and Squawks :)

Kommentar von Jaerock

just got at 1am est , nov 8 2018 on sargeras . Regular verdant wilds,.

kicked some scrub mining with less then a hundred to go and killed dreadbeard and got Squawks.have done well over 600 normal islands and this is my 3rd mount. Got 2 mogu mounts a month or 2 ago.

Best of luck All keep the faith it does exist !

Kommentar von Morgzc

I have started to compile a simple guide of what to target on expeditions, based on what ive read on comments, it’s a bit empty at the moment, but hoping everyone can help me update (id put this all in a table if i could work out how - sorry)

A few things to note:

The mounts can drop on all difficulties, at any level, and even if you lose

The below is not 100%, as ive stated above this is just info ive gathered from comments, there could be more to add, which I will as I find out

Make sure to loot all chests that have a rare or mob guarding them

Do all invasion types

Kommentar von Lance

Has anyone here gotten it this week? I'm pretty sure blizzard did something wacky to the drop rates when they hotfixed afk islands. My buddy and I have been running mythics/heroics 15 hrs a day for the past week and not a single mount (also not getting nearly as much loot as before) between us or any of our friends. Weird because during mogu week they were dropping like candy even on normals. Pretty frustrating they had to mess with it on pirate week of all weeks. EDIT: It seems that this was fixed a few days ago, a lot more loot has been dropping, same buddy of mine got qinsho's eternal hound and squawks back to back yesterday each on a normal (he already had qinsho though)

Kommentar von NaThuRe

Yesterday i finally got my most wanted mount in BFA! Squawks dropped for me in a normal rotting mire - https://imgur.com/a/oRux0NI

Despite the fact the addon is showing only 1550 attempts until the mount was found i actually had 2k+ more islands completed with about 4k attempts overall due to multiboxing islands.

So far i have 5/9 mounts from island, only because i'm running islands with 3 alts. That's how absurd are the rates from islands mount. If i kept running with only my main i would still have only one mount with 2k islands completed...

Kommentar von Nevarii

Got this noisy parrot today on my main after a heroic island expedition. Killed some pirates and looted chests etc. and my team mates went on the ship but I didn't since I couldn't figure out where they went lol. I didn't think about this mount would drop depending on pirates so I do not know how many I killed.
I think it's my second time trying the pirate encounter

Kommentar von Niixten

I Started doing normal ie's on my Demon Hunter twink and when Hasenpfote came I bought a lot of them and sent them over to my main character and started running mythic ie's. I used three accounts while I was doing ie's. My other two accounts were afk on the ship while I was running around looting and gathering azerite on my main. (Since I had 3 accounts my total attempts are 14061) I wrote my attempts below as one account and my attempts as 3 accounts in parentheses.

Krächz 356 (1068)
Qinshos ewiger Hund 1362 (4068)
Klippenhornspringer 1726 (5178)
Steinhauturhorn 2757 (8271)

Good luck and I hope you have better luck than I had.

Kommentar von Lailou

This week was pirate week in The Rotting Mire.
I have completed 202 islands this reset, of those 202:

78 - were Rotting Mire with pirates
6 - with a pirate invasion
3 - where pirates were special mobs on the islands but not part of an invasion.

Based on those figures that gave me 87 chances at getting Squawks. But I didn't.

I did get:
30 pets
19 transmog items.
I didn't count how many rep items or dubloons I received.

The RNG gods have not been kind to me. I hope you've all had better luck than I did.

Kommentar von NSMonk1979

I didn't see anyone else post this comment yet, so I thought I'd mention that you can get this mount via Schatzkarte. It gave me Treasure Map: Molten Mayhem. Schatzkarte: Geschmolzenes Chaos.

I uploaded a screenshot for reference.

Kommentar von Lance

Well here we go again, another pirate week another 20 hrs a day.

Update: Day 3 is almost over, done well over 500 islands this pirate week so far and still no squawks lol. Sucks that sleep is a thing, wish it wasn't so I could finally achieve island immortality and do islands 24/7 every day of my life till I get parrot.

Update: It's day 5 hit 1000 islands this reset and nothing. Getting very worried it's not gonna drop again, so I've decided to stay awake for the remaining 3 days till tuesday reset and do nothing but islands.

OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG I GOT SQUAWKS AFTER ~7000 ISLANDS FROM A MYTHIC RABBIT.

Didn't get a screenshot of the looting page unfortunately :(

Kommentar von Rizz020

Received today from the Rotting Mire with pirates on heroic mode. It was my 324th total island and 35th this week so I consider myself pretty lucky given some of the horror stories on here...

It was my second IE mount overall

Kommentar von shorpo

As of 8.2 is there any advantage to running Mythics over Normals for mounts? Are the mount drop rates the same for N/H/M?
From what I read they've included changes such as nerfing the rabbit charm method indirectly by reducing mineable azerite and chests. I'm about to start the grind (with no additional accounts) and have been wondering if Normals are the way to go due to faster clearing speed by pulling all the mobs at once (and as a bonus maybe help people leveling faster).

Kommentar von Mzp1994

Just got this after just 539 attemps according to Rarity - i got it after finishing Crestfall on mythic, which is invaded by pirates this week. Happy hunting!

Kommentar von hooda100mu

If you are thinking "omg" after reading the other comments then dont worry as there is another way to get these island mounts ,which is way much better than this rng . So i have made some posts which i will be copy pasting here ,now the way to get these mounts is still rng but way much less than drop from island .There is a vendor near the Island Expedition Map Table - Captain Kitt for the Horde and Captain Nightrunner for the Alliance which sells some boxes ,those are only available 3 per week regardless of what island is underway and those boxes are 175 seafarers dubloons each . So i m just copy pasting the mount info from my main post .

Crestfall-Salvage ========= drops ==========Bloodgorged-Hunter --Squawks --Stonehide-Elderhorn --Twilight-Avenger
Skittering-Hollow-Salvage== drops ========== Stonehide-Elderhorn -- Craghorn-Chasm-Leaper
Havenswood-Salvage====== drops ========== Risen-Mare --Bloodgorged-Hunter -- Stonehide-Elderhorn
Dread-Chain-Salvage ======drops ========== Qinshos-Eternal-Hound-- Stonehide-Elderhorn -- Craghorn-Chasm-Leaper
Snowblossom-Salvage =====drops ========== Qinshos-Eternal-Hound-- Stonehide-Elderhorn -- Bloodgorged-Hunter
Rotting-Mire-Salvage ======drops ===========Squawks --Stonehide-Elderhorn
Jorundall-Salvage ========drops ===========Island-Thunderscale -- Stonehide-Elderhorn -- Bloodgorged-Hunter

Now these are the drops from 175 Seafarers-Dubloon Epic boxes , the other boxes for 120 Seafarers-Dubloon has a chance to drop Stonehide-Elderhorn and Surf-Jelly

Now there are like 3 to 4 items in each box which can include mount/pet/mog/azerite quest .
So Good Luck as the drop rate is around 20% give or take and doing mythic at this point is not that hard as it was before and u get quite a lot of duns from mythics .
Hope this helps :)

Kommentar von Rudy199

Who is Squawks? What do we know about this bird?

Kommentar von Funkyo

Dropped from Bergungsgut aus dem Faulenden Morast damn so happy i wanted this bird so bad after all those runs i only got Zwielichträcher# nothing else farming with 5 chars everyweek it was really frustrating!

Kommentar von LittleDemoness

Got it and a cool pirate hat from heroic Rotting Mire after killing pirate mobs.

Kommentar von Terrassen

I was probably pretty lucky, but a few days ago on my first Salvage Crate ever I got: Krächz, along with Schulterschützer der Klingenflossen and Beinplatten der Klingenflossen.

Kommentar von ShabaTheHut

Just got Krächz from Bergungsgut aus dem Faulenden Morast

For those wondering how many I've purchased prior to getting it - I believe it was my first time buying that specific crate, however it was likely my 5th or 6th crate purchase in general. (of the 175 dubloon epic crates)

Kommentar von birbybirb

Got this damn bird after about 50 hours (roughly 300 island expeditions). Dropped from mythic Crestfall after killing only 1 pirate mob (with a pirate rare in there).

Kommentar von KKThankyou

Just Recived Squawks and im so happy

Kommentar von sarxos

Received from Rotting Mire salvage on 1/2/2021. Combined with islands and salvage boxes, it took 39 attempts.

Kommentar von JorReno

Hey all. Just wanted to say that I got this mount on NORMAL HAVENSWOOD.
I got the random event of pirates showing up... so I killed a bunch on the beach and opened a chest.
Then I took the cannon to the ship, killed the Captain, and opened two more chests.

Only took me about 50 tries or less.
Good luck. Krächz is the best!

Kommentar von Chizwick

I'm not sure if I'm incredibly lucky or if the drop rate was increased, but I ran maybe my 15th island expedition, bought Crestfall Salvage, and got Squawks on my first ever salvage box.

Maybe I should go buy lottery tickets?

Kommentar von thebigpahoot

Was lucky enough to get this to drop yesterday during my 350+ (ish?) expedition. Was grinding out dubloons for salvage boxes after many failures, happened to get Rotting Mire with Pirates on Mythic. I focused on killing any pirate mobs that I found, but the only pirate rare that I encountered was Freibeuter Dan. Unsure if that is what triggered the drop, or just randomness.

Just food for thought. Good luck in the parrot search!

Kommentar von Moarpewpew

So I don't know what's up with Kitt but I only have:
Elemental Salvage
Molten Cay Salvage
Skittering Hollow Salvage
Havenswood Salvage

Am I missing something, did I forget a quest ( I'm exalted with everything Horde side ). Do I have to run a dungeon or raid? I'm so confused, I just want my Squawks :(

Kommentar von angiedoll

Got from Crestfall Salvage, only my 2nd week of farming. Not trying to brag, just saying this salvage might be a better shot

Kommentar von Maaarf

Am I right in thinking that you buy this , using the coins from the island expedition run, when the appropriate salvage crate appears in the vendors' trade window?
And once you buy the correct crate the RNG God decides if you get the Parrot inside the crate?
There is NO other way of getting the Parrot?
Thanks in advance '-)

Kommentar von Whulle

Got it today 12/01/2023 from a Bergungsgut aus dem Faulenden Morast chest after 210 attempts :)

For reference, Molten Cay, Rotting Mire and Un'gol Ruins were featured in the weekly scouting report.
