Things that aren't true but should be with this pet.

1. This should play the Bond theme when summoned. (Someone should make an addon that does this)
2. This should be super low-res to honor the N64 game.

Just had one drop from a Helsworn Soulseeker in Desmotaeron on live 9.1. Was at 68, 59

Kommentar von Azkani

Obtained from the Helsworn soulseeker after killing 70+, no special buffs, just raw killing and time.

Kommentar von bradybunch

Drops from the Helsworn Soulseekers (elite eyeball mobs) in Desmotaeron, 63, 65 in the Maw. There are about 5-6 that patrol around the elite level mobs. Drop rate seems really low.

Kommentar von Thedd

I got it on attempt 704... just keep chugging away at it and you will get it eventually!

If you have Thrall and Baroness Draka accompanying you while you're on Die Flügel stutzen / Mit der Waffe in der Hand / Tore der Verdammten, they can make this grind go a bit more quickly, since they tank/dps mobs with you.

You know, I am not entirely without talent for numbers. Admittedly, Í am no statistics professor, and I don't feature respective youtube channels. But yet, not without talent.

And still I always - ALWAYS - find myself caught in that reverse psycho trap.

After the first 250 dead helsworn soulseekers, I catch myself thinking "Any time now.... it will drop any time now...", since with a chance of 1/333...

Of course, it isn't, you know that, I know that, we all know that. With every drop, the chance is 1 in 333, given the chance of 0.3%. The guy which just arrived and joined my 250th fight has exacly the same chance of looting the pet as me, since the last 249 kills don't matter for the 250th.

At this point, I do a fast forward through the five stages of grief. In anger, I shout out of the window "And even killing 1000 of them would leave me with an almost 5% chance of not having looted even ONE pet! What a frigging crap!". In depression, I remember that even that wasn't true anymore, since the now 300 both dead and pet-less soulseekers don't count (I all looted them, letting the pet go to mail would be a twist, heh) - filling up to 1000 would still leave me with the off-chance of roughly 12% of having no Goldauge (da-dumm-dumm-dumm). And every pet-less dead soulseeker pushed out of existence is just a roll on a D333. I live through traffic situations with better (hah, "better") chances for ending in a hospital every day and haven't set a foot into one for a while now. Why not just go to the auction house and buy that damned thing?

At 450, the state of mind changes. It does not matter, anymore, if the pet drops or not. I am here. Soulseekers come and are made go, metallic sockets sold by the dozens.

I am here. A tranquil calmness any Pandaren shado master would be proud of. Acceptance.

Now I am ready for the drop.

Any time now.

Edited (2021-07-23) :

It dropped. Well after the overall average, but it dropped. It took me some seconds to feel joy.

In case you are wondering whether esta's suggestion works: It does.

If you don't like running around, you can use this strategy: Use an unloved twink, bring that poor thing to the An Army of Bone and Steel campaign step, to have Thrall and Draka as wet job acceleration specialists as company. Park at a spot nothing spawns on you but a soulseeker would pass (I recommend the U-turn stairs you can see on the map, two soulseekers loiter the treads up from time to time), turn off environmental noises and music so that the only thing you'd hear is the noise an incoming soulseeker produces, ... and do something else. Attend online trainings about ISO 9001 or GDPR, watch TikToks, play the next Diablo III season, read a bad book ... you'll find something. The early hours are best.

Edited (2022-07-04):

It looks like wowhead's tracking settled on a 0.2% chance, implying that one has a chance of one in five hundred for a Goldauge each time a Helgebundener Seelensucher dies. Just for your entertainment, this means that on average...

... one out of ten players is lucky and got the pet with less than 54 kills.
... after 200 kills, almost a third of all players farming got their pet.
... the point half of the farmers have hearthstoned to their families is at kill 346. If you get your pet after kill #346, you belong to the less lucky half. (*)
... kill #500 is not special, about 63% of all farmers have their pet by now.
... 1000 kills with no pet would not make you exceptionally special, about 13.5% of all farmers share this fate.
... the magic 96% threshold would be reached after the unlucky players of that segment got their pet in kill #1608.
... if you want to belong to the 1%, it means your pet count is glued to 0 even after 2300 kills. Now that is special.
... if one million farmers would have been farming, the last one got the pet at kill well after 7000 kills. Better not reincarnate as a soulseeker.

Sometimes, math sucks.

(*) While it might be true that the average amount of pets per player for a player population with each player killing 250 mobs is 0.5, the reason why not 50% of all farmers got their pet on average kill count 250 is simple: You got your pet - you stop farming. It is basically the same reason why the chance of rolling at least one six with two rolls (2D6) is not 1/6+1/6=1/3 - the one superlucky turn with two sixes still counts just as one, leaving only 11 of 36 combinations to win.

Kommentar von RazorsAlt

Received this pet on my first attempt. Venthyr Priest (not sure if that matters or not). Edit: received this on my Pally when I was helping a hunter who was about to die. At that point, I had only killed the one eye. That makes 2 that I received so far.

Kommentar von fraggiz

This was selling for 250k at the auctionhouse on my server Auchindoun-EU so i thought id save some gold and farm it out.
I can now afterwards say that this was a fatal misstake. It took me 1103 kills. Were playing my dwarf warrior with 245 ilvl in the middle of the night (over several nights) and did no realmjumping. Averaged 40kills per hour so the time spent was not worth it with my RNG atleast. GL if you farm for this pet.

Kommentar von Buhh

As suggested by other comments, I went to chapter 4/9 Chains of Domination to have Thrall and Draka assist me.
I started by running around and killing the 4-5 spawns that occur, but got bored.
Returned and started just standing on the bridge to the east, that has one passing every few minutes while watching tv.
I got it at my 216th kill

Kommentar von Toenail

i got super lucky, got it while in a group doing the weekly elite quest there today. i have killed a few in passing before, for that weekly or the world boss. didn't actually farm it, and i am glad i didn't after reading some of the comments here. an hour later i found a Rarity pet on the AH of a server i had some gold on (selling duplicate pets there to buy others i don't have) for 100k. have had no luck getting the lockboxes on my rogue or finding anyone selling them on my server. nice night for luck especially after another vault of dissappointnent today lol

Kommentar von Jagas

received after 467 kills

Kommentar von ZalidTheBur

I got it on attempt 1. I bought it off the AH :-D

Kommentar von supermage

Got it in 1 kill. No joke. I was mindblown as well. Went there expecting to farm for hours (like I have for many other pets) but a nice surprise! Sold for 250k.

Kommentar von Hyrcyne

Farming this on a warrior is pretty great, you can effectively one-shot the eyes by using Zauberreflexion on their Fokussierte Vernichtung casts.

Kommentar von Hunt3x

Adding this comment, hope it helps. Vote it up if it's the information you are looking for:

1. Farming options?

Camping for 2 Helsworn Soulseekers
Running around (I recommend having a stealth character if you do)

2. What is the spawn timer on these golden eyes?

Fastest is 6 min
Slowest is 8 min

3. Drop rate?

Seems to be 1/1000 based on research/experience from 2 accounts and other comments

4. Camping spot

I recommend to camp near the stairs because of no other mobs that attack you, and you can easy camp this place without interference/aggro from other mobs
Location /way 65.16, 51.35

5. Time required based on droprate?

Average spawntime 7 min and based on its droprate 1/1000, I've calculated you need to use 3500 min which is around 58 hours if you are unlucky and you plan on using camping strategy which i used

Kommentar von Xhanon

After 525 Kills it dropped - Stay strong!

Kommentar von theFinnwaltz

My kill count is currently at 910 and the pet haven't drop for me yet.
Edit: Dropped at 963 !

Kommentar von Makuto

Got it after the 27th kill. Sold it at the AH for about 200k. Now I'm wondering if I can loot it again?
I'm using an addon that shows me the amount of attempts to loot an item. But since I've already looted it, it stopped tracking it. So I'm kinda in the dark if I can loot it again.

Kommentar von Lobombre

Finally after attempt 344! Just ran the stairs and back around Desmotaeron...I am NE Hunt so just stealthed if i attracted too many mobs.

Kommentar von Skisly

Got one after 1122 kills (:

Kommentar von Amon66

Took me 964 tries but finally got it

Kommentar von poosha

Obtained after 828 attempts, casually running a lap of the stairs, occasionally taking the big trip up the stairs towards the raid. Pretty gruesome grind. I used a lvl 70 DH with 418 ilvl.

Kommentar von 1258777

Been farming this pet off and on. Currently at kill 899

Kommentar von BeerWolf

Rather just buy it off the AH at this point...

Kommentar von mellowyellow

625 kills for me to get the pet. I found a path where I could fairly quickly kill between 4-6 of them in a small area so as to not waste too much time running around, and then wait for the respawn. Easy activity to have in the background while doing something else.

Kommentar von LaffiBoozegnome

Tina was here. RIP.

Kommentar von ExplosiveSheep

757 kills for me. Rarity says 1/500, but I'm not so sure. :D

Stick with it!

Kommentar von Schwoompl

Went to this place for the weekly gold quest, and i only do this like once every 2nd month or less.
Done and on my way out i poked one eye and this dropped. Never knew it existed and can safely say i have maybe 10 kills.
Currently 200k on the auction house (season 3 dragonflight).
Was a nice surprice as i like gold stuff :D.

Kommentar von Scody

Currently at 1811+ kills, no pet yet. Rough.

Kommentar von Scody

1972 kills so far, no pet yet

Kommentar von Sadboytears

I managed to get this on my 29th kill doing the World Quest in the maw. Good luck to all y'all hunting it. Meanwhile I'm nearing 2k attempts on the Packender Panzerhandschuh pet lol
