Comment by MondoblastoAwesome guide! I used the Paste//TomTom coords method and got my mount!If you're the winner, the will spawn hovering in front of you and casts on you for some reason, but it doesn't actually do anything.A quirk for me is that the mount did not appear in my bags, but only because I didn't realize they were full. No need to panic, however! As with other items, will mail it to you as a lost item.One final thing is that I had to take a break after my fourth crystal, due to some motion sickness starting to kick in after a very long search for the fifth and not having found it. I let my character /AFK logout to the character menu, then logged back in from there once I was good to go.

Comment by mommyclzGot mine today! I'd gone out looking several times without finding any crystals, and decided to wait for flying - which definitely makes it easier.I used the paste add-on and tom-tom, which worked well - but I'll point out that I did NOT go inside the big cave (something cove, with the giants and slaves) until I had actually found a crystal elsewhere. Obviously, if there are 5 up, there will be some elsewhere.Sure enough, once I DID find a crystal, I went inside that cave (and forgot, at first, that I could go in cat mode and prowl lol) and found one of my 5 in there. Comment by LoLAkaliSo I've tried to find any information on this without luck.At around 19:40 ST on Bladefist I clicked my first crystal. Out of sheer luck I found the next 3 pretty fast.At some point after clicking my 4th crystal I circled back to one of the previous crystals only to see that it had despawned, I did a lap and discovered that all 4 had despawned.At first I thought someone had found the mount after I clicked my 4th, which was around 20:40 ST.So I went through the chat log only to find out that there had not been a serverwide emote as should be.Is it possible that there's a timer on how long anyone has?
Do the crystals despawn after a certain amount of time if no one managed to find 5? Comment by MondoblastoWas trying to help a guild member with a coordinate when I realized I couldn't find the spot it describes. This needs to be confirmed by someone with flying./way 45.75, 30.34 ((In cave next to piles of gold))By the way people, if it's in a cave or otherwise underground you need to describe (slapping tabletop each time with open hand) HOW.
IT., because getting to it above ground is completely f3@%ing useless. What the hell are you supposed to do, dig downwards? Comment by tigatronThanks for the great guide. I managed to get the hippogryph yesterday, after several unsuccessful attempts. I credit at least some of my success to the fact that it was class mount day and most people were focussed on that task.I found the first crystal while I was on the PvP quest 'Operation Murloc Freedom'. It was near the shoreline, but still within the PvP zone.
Found the last one at approximately 57,31 at the foot of the statue in the Greenway, surrounded by Eternal Guardian mobs. Not sure if this location is marked on the map, however.In the end, finding the five crystals took approximately 30 minutes and all crystals were out in the open (none in caves). Comment by TaraezorYou may care to download my Long Forgotten Hippogryph AddOn from.
It is in the style of my well-known AddOn and is tailored specifically for the task. Notably it correctly differentiates between Oceanus Cove / Cave / outdoor locations.Battle for Azeroth ready!There is information around which suggests that all caves have crystals. Many do but only a quarter of the total do.
The AddOn documents almost 40 cave entrances for you to explore.Don't forget: If all five crystal locations have already been revealed then only one thorough sweep should be sufficient. Just be darned quick about it! The other situation is when you are freshly discovering the locations. In this scenario, as soon as you have found a crystal you should consider the map as 'fresh' and needing to be totally explored, including that part of the map already traversed.Don't forget: A 'set' route would be nice but the practical reality of having to run away from mobs and other players on PvP servers makes a fixed route impractical. I find that on occasion when I must jump off a cliff, for example, I am redoing an area already traversed. That is actually okay if you are still revealing the crystal locations and there are other players also hunting.
The key is to continually move. When you are not moving you are not discovering and you are more likely to finish up dead. Minimise repeating areas for sure, but constantly moving is the key.Help! - Found a location I did not document OR which I stated was not verified? Please take the time to send a screen shot to my or page. Please ensure the screenshot is such that it allows me to go there myself and stand directly upon where the crystal should be. Rough co-ordinates would be nice too.
(Yes, I know that with my AddOn I insist upon actually discovering / witnessing the egg myself but with this one I have to be more realistic, at the cost of being out by a 100th of a coordinate point or two).Edit: About a week ago I tweaked the AddOn a bit, based largely upon player reports. I still stand by my opinion that as it is PURPOSE MADE it does a better job than the others. Plus much more accurate in locations too.Edit: Please take note of the comments at the foot of Purgatorywolf's Guide about locations and screenshots. Many well meaning people have contributed over time but sadly definitive and accurate reports are hard to come. This particular mount grind is proving, even now, to be rather hard to get exactly right!
I admit to being a very tough judge so you may find a location or two in Purgatorywolf's list above which I have not included. I keenly await definitive reports! Comment by SoitalAre you sure it displays 'You hear a faint call in the distance and then silence' to the entire zone? Comment by AmyS2I hunt for these Crystals everyday. Most of the time to give it away to whoever DMs me first on the Secret Finding Discord, sometimes to my guildies or friends.I have a ton of Screeshots of the locations I have found them at so far.
Have been uploading a lot of them to the page. A few got accepted already.However my PC is a toaster, but I try to take the Screenshots at the highest graphics options it can handle.The SS's on the crystals' page have their exact coordinates locations, except for the ones inside caves, those I give the cave's entrance locations.Hope it helps. Happy hunting everyone! Comment by kHartosHere is my riveting account of acquiring this mount -I have a habit of checking 10-20 spots while doing WQs and found my first crystal yesterday. Within about an 90 mins I found 4/5.
Could not find the 5th. Then my wife (with child) came home. And demanded I log off to do chores and family time. I delayed best I could but.you know, marriage. Crestfallen, I knew it wasn't going to be some time before I could log in again.More than 8 hours later I logged in and lo and behold the crystals were still there! I'm in a low pop server.
The crystals were clickable for me again, so I thought what the hell, let's go find the 5th. It took over an hour to find it, but I did!
And when I clicked it. Nothing happened. I was about to offer the locations to a friend but then I had the thought to go get my alt and see if it worked for them.
I logged in with my alt and went back to the first crystal location where I found 6 or so players gathered around it. I knew I had a race on my hands so I booked it to the other 4. I clicked the last crystal and got the mount.So lesson to be learned - you can use alts to get the mount if somehow more than 8 hours pass from first click and the crystals are still up. This is likely to be pretty relevant post Legion. Comment by EsploratoreDamn it the spawn spot under the lake in el'dranil shallows! I gave away 7 mounts by now (or so) plus got one myself and occasionally found some more which I couldn't find anyone to give them to and either despawned or someone else got them while I was off and after 4 crystals I just could never find 5th, so went back to check here to learn of new spawn spots and I found it was there, hardest spawn spot so far for me, even when I already knew of the other underwater spawn spot!
Is the screenshot that is already linked in the page that let me find it.Edit: apparently I was wrong, leyhollow cave one is definitely harder than this, that is hard to see even if you look at it, unlike underwater spots! Comment by remid0d0s0This went surprisingly quickly. Found 5 crystals in the center-SE areas of Azuna, SE of Azurewing Repose. Two in caves, three pretty much out in the open.
Took about 1-1/2 hr. I did circle the island 2-3 times but in my case all the crystal action was south of the mountains. I don't know if this has been nerfed or I just waited long enough and picked a dead enough night (which is what I usually do when farming something).I rarely do much of anything grindy so I had low expectations and was pleasantly surprised.
Anyway, if you're still looking, hope it goes quickly for you too! Comment by BregalagosThank you so much! This guide with all the coords helped me eventually capture that elusive beast.I've previously spent time looking for it only to be bamboozled searching for the last crystal only to see those fateful words: You hear a faint caw in the distance then silence.Today was my lucky day. I go to Aszuna to complete some alchemy quest on an alt only to discover a crystal right next to the object i need to loot. This sent me on a frantic rat race where I got 4 in a hour.
I spent the next two hoping against hope and thanjfully the RNG gods blessed me and I found that 5th crystal.Great guide and kudos to you for all the hard work you put into this. Comment by bearisticI had just found my 4th crystal, I was so excited and then I watched someone walk into the cave I was just in and click the crystal I just clicked. He gets the mount.I was devastated, tried again about 4 hours later.
Found 3 crystals right away but couldn't click them. Found a 4th and it was the one I needed for my mount. So you CAN log off and just wait for them to respawn. Your debuff from earlier crystals will still be around so you might see some crystals up but can't click them. My advice, use a trial 100 druid on a low pop server.
Long forgotten hippograph is the way to go as far as addons are concerned. I was using handynotes version but it was missing a lot of the crystals on the map.
Comment by WoWplayer001I can CONFIRM - saw the 'you hear a faint caw' text at approx 1230am on 4/26/18. Ephemeral Crystals were up by 1:00pm 4/26/18. The 12 hour respawn timer on crystals is likely a correct assumption. I had 4, and was beaten by someone else.For the record, the Long-Forgotten Hippogryph Add-on was invaluable. Thank you very, very much to the author.UPDATE - 4/27/18Between 8:30am and 9:00am local time (5:30am - 6:00am server), I successfully found 5 crystals. Competion at this time of morning was absolutely nil.
It took no more than 25 minutes of searching. I am fortunate in that I work from home, so after I got my kiddo on the bus, I logged in before I started working and got the stones with relative ease. Again, the add-on was an amazing help, and my thanks both to the author AND the community for contributing to it. This is something most of us should be able to do without any major difficulty because of it.Some TipsGo Off-Peak - I experienced no competition at all at the time stated above. This occurred on Cenarion Circle, which is a very low-pop realm on a Friday morning. As such my luck may not be the same on high pop servers. I last saw the 'you hear a faint caw' message yesterday at about 4:45pm local time.
It was likely sheer luck that I was able to find stones without competition 16 hours after that time. Server time/local time plays a huge factor.Look for Aberrant NPC Behavior - the primary reason why I found the last stone so easily was because the bears that normally sleep around the rocks were acting strange. They were chasing each other in circles around the rocks, and that behavior immediately abated when I clicked on the final stone. I also noticed that the spirits around Nor'Danil Wellspring were also acting strange.
The few spirits that were near the stone when I found it were in the process of channeling a summoning spell (visual effect only), a behavior I haven't noticed from them at other times. Comment by Murderlistic NICE GUIDE!I used the AddOn Long Forgotten Hyppogryph to track all the Ephemeral Crystals.Flying through Azsuna to complete my Emissary Quests for Court of Farondis, in the afternoon of last day at Brazilian server Nemesis, I saw the message ' You hear a faint caw in the distance and then silence.' Comment by thenarutarddI have used only HandyNotes to get the crystals, but i wish i didn't do that from the beginning, so i decided to give this guide a try, already had the Paste addon so i copied and pasted. Apparently, HandyNotes is missing a lot of spots, i would always get stuck at 4 crystal not being able to find the 5th sadly. Thanks to the author of this guide, i got my 5th which it wasn't marked by HandyNotes.I highly recommend getting the Paste addon and copying/pasting the locations given here.Thank you Purgatorywolf.
Comment by FocusfanI know this is a few years old, but wanted to help out with the coordinates.It has been posted that there are several crystals inside Oceanus Cove. The coordinates provided by players, however, require manual clearing.
