Found along the north side of Serpent Lake.

These respawn fast enough that by the time you get to one end of the lake, the other side will have respawned.

Kommentar von Wakako

Found out something cool about these guys.........

They drop a Non Combat Pet!!!! its a firefly pretty cool huh.!

They cast a magic debuff on you called "Lambent Blood" which lasts for 1 minute, disables stealth, increases damage taken by 10%, and increases strength by 10%.

The map above can be a little missleading. The 56 gold dots are not actual spawn points, just were players interacted with this mob.

There are only 23 or 24 actual needlers on the map and they have a fast respawn time. By the time you have cleared the left side, the right side has all respawned as stated above.

The clump of dots to the south of the naga camp is veiwed by most players who farm here as a waste of time. There are only 2 or 3 needlers that spawn here, but in the time it takes to reach them you could have killed 2 or 3 heading back to the left.

With 3 people farming them and a slight increase in spawn rate due to player numbers, there isn't much trouble finding needlers to kill.

As a hunter, these guys annoy me simply because they don't show up on track.

Kommentar von Addfwyn

These also have a very small chance to drop the Firefly vanity pet, something I've been farming for with little luck.

The drop rate seems to be around 1 in 1,500 based on assorted samples, good luck if you want one.

If only there were a Beast species that included these. They'd make a really awesome Hunter pet.

Look like a Firefly sting like a wasp! im sorry i just couldent get that out of my head :) especialy since its true...

I have grinded for all the whelps before, so I know the commitment required to "grind" this pet out of the odds the loot table would finally release this pet into my loot window. This was by far the most difficult pet I have had to grind for. I leveled from 68 to 5 bars short of level 71 on just Bogflare Needler xp alone. I used a route, that included all spawns, and once I got my Druid flight form, it made crossing the lake all the more reasonable to go after the two spawn areas by the Nagas.

The two weeks prior to the release of the Wrath of the Lich King expansion, the competition for the Bogflare Needler mobs was pretty stiff. Ground bound, I had no chance against people with their epic flying brooms. Later, after the release of the expansion the traffic in Zangarmarsh is pretty sparse, but it still nagged at my consious while I was grinding away, those few that fell to passersby, "was that the one with my Captured Firefly?"

It took almost 4 weeks, daily workday averages of 120-300 Bogflare Needlers per evening depending on competing with others. Weekend marathon sessions pushed 500 Bogflare Needlers on average. I was mentally preparing myself for the Christmans vacation of 2 weeks off from work to dedicate towards this pet, if thats what it was going to take. I looted two blue items in the process, along with 42 green items. The junk loot funded my first two guild bank tabs.

The experience was frustrating, but blind stubborness paid off in the end.

I was lucky enough to get a firefly drop on my 2nd day. I killed 250 some the first day and 50 the second, and by god. It dropped...So have hope, fellow farmers!

It was the best gift ever to give a friend :)

Grabbed a firefly after 4 kills >.< luck of the draw.

Kommentar von 348086

Pretty Neat...but still no pet :(

Kommentar von 133834

I'm amazed that no one has mentioned taming one of these just to name it "Serenity". I know that's the first thing that went through my head when I heard about the firefly pet.

|"Farmer's" Report|

Kommentar von 480821

I was lucky enough to grab a firefly pet in about 20-30 minutes.

Yes, I realise how lucky I am.

No you can't have it. It's mine :P

Kommentar von 415293

This is the only bumblebee pet other than the ones in Underbog.

Kommentar von 278567

i hate these things xD

dunno how many i have killed, but i have gotten all the rare items they can dropped, even got the axe twice....
still no pet :(

guess im just unlucky..

Happy farming !

Edit:

just got the pet :D a week of 6 hours of farming every day ^^
was it worth it?: hell yeah xD
was it fun to farm the last 6 days and 5.9 hours?: hell no xD

Happy farming guys, nice pet :)

Kommentar von Micathius

Got it after about 45 minutes worth of farming. No one else to be seen, and I'm debating on trying to get a couple more to sell off.

Kommentar von 324662

Just got mine at 53,33. Have been farming this for over 3 hours and for 6months on and off. It was worth the time and effort put into it. If you really want this bugger don't give up it does drop just takes time.

Kommentar von Lindentree

Consider grinding this while you're at less than Friendly rep with Sporeggar. The Needler spawns are crawling with Glowcaps.

Kommentar von Lurtzello

Sadly I've farmed these mobs for several days without success... I don't think that an increse of the drop rate is the case here...

Kommentar von am19v

I got this after 33 mins of farming around Serpent Lake; had to kill 21 Bogflare Needlers. I did however stop a few times to fish the floating wreckage ( i get such a kick out of those) so, really it didnt take me quite that long. Good luck to all still in search of this firefly!

Kommentar von Jaedo

I farmed this for 52 minutes, killed around 110 needlers and saw it drop. If anyone is as discouraged as I was after reading all these comments, it's not always the case. You may get lucky and get it quick! Happy farming!

Kommentar von 869268

Today I saw the captured firefly on AH at 40000 bid and 45000 buyout price. I went to this page, and thought; might aswell give it a try! I was there for 58:37, and took 2 breaks, that lasted between 3-8 minutes. after 199 loots, the captured firefly dropped, so I'm happy, and this just proves, that it might aswell drop quickly people!

Kommentar von dsiacono

After approx. 4 hours of farming & approx 320 Bogflare Needler slayings for this little whipper-snapper, I finally got a Firefly. I'm at 59.6, 46.0 & the time is 4:20am. This is actually the area separate from all the rest of the spawned Bogflare Needlers. I'm guessing that each Firefly drop (when it's dropped) is rare because mine is just that. BTW, I'm exalted w/ Sporeggar. Happy hunting all.

Kommentar von Znaleziatko

I'm one lucky bastard and I really don't like the fact that you are all going to hate me but I just got mine Firefly after killing exactly six of those Needlers. Maybe the drop rate has been increased?

Kommentar von tanzine

RNG can be a cruel mistress - I'm currently at 835 kills and no drop.....

Kommentar von 965609

Awful respawn rates these days! I thought I'd chance killing a few of these Needlers for a chance for the pet and for the Unidentified Plant Parts for Cenarion rep (not yet honoured on my level 64 character)... but the respawn timer is really slow now and after doing a length and going back to the beginning I'm still waiting 2-5mins for them to respawn.
Maybe the cool little firefly bug just isn't for me. QQ

Edit: Also they're not great for plant parts either. You can get about 2-3 out of ~15 kills per lap along the West part of Serpent Lake

Kommentar von 1145398

Just got this today. Killed maybe a dozen of the bogflare needlers. And it just dropped. Suprised it didn't take long after reading all the comments. Got it just east of Orebor. Took about 10 minutes on Scarlet Crusade got him at around 4:15pm.

Kommentar von 1319706

I got the firefly on Needler #9, based on that and the other most recent comment, wondering if the drop rate has been increased in the past few months.

Kommentar von Zarathel

After almost 3 hours of farming, 169 fractured carapaces, 52 twitching legs, a green belt, green boots and a grey axe later, and still no drop.

Kommentar von Xradeon

Found one today during a high traffic time. Was 1 of at least 3 players killing needlers. Killed an annoying 63 night elf 10 times and right after the 10th kill, it dropped 2 mobs later. Dropped after just 59 kills, very lucky.

Kommentar von Volleynova

Had no idea this existed, and I've been playing since release days. Anyways, don't have time to farm for this, bought it off the AH for 50,000 gold.
