Patch 5.0.1 | Posted: September 25, 2012
Therazane wore these spunky crimson elementals as jewelry before the azure craze swept through Deepholm.
I haven't seen anyone else mention this.. but if you're having trouble with these and other suicidal pets. Back out of the fight and re-engage... they will OFTEN have other skill sets chosen! (Yes, the exact same spawn.. one time it will have stone rush, the next time elementium bolt).Â
I have been trying, in a desultory fashion, to find an Unborn Val'kyr to experiment on, but they're so rare and I hate to 'be that guy'...since I already have my rare (stoned, not hunted wild)..
[Strong Trap] failed to trap enemy Crimson Geode.
[Stone Rush] dealt 421 damage to your Terrible Turnip.
[Stone Rush] dealt 175 damage to enemy Crimson Geode.
Enemy Crimson Geode died.
The first rare I see and it kills itself! REALLY... =/
I did not find any Crimson Geodes in the Crimson Expanse or anywhere else in Deephole. I did see TONS of Crimson Shale Hatchlings. I will keep looking.
EDIT: After about an hour flying around the Crimson Expanse I finally found one it was stuck on the hill in the middle so could not tame it, then found 2 more and they BOTH killed themselves because the crappy trap kept missing. The 3rd one I found I used a turkey with the food coma ability to put the Crimson Geode to sleep and that FINALLY worked.
This guy is a glass cannon. Elementium Bolt is great when it hits. Amplify Magic is also a good choice. Especially against a burrower. You can get off the Bolt and then Amplify before he has to take any damage if the burrower goes to ground right awy. And it makes the cutest tinkling noise when it gets hit. Almost like wind chimes. He has one-shot many pets for me. Or died like a level 1 poor in a nano-second. :)
Farmed this guy fer days in Deepholm to get my rare. one killed it self, I killed one on accident /wrists, and finally after they all spawned up again I got my rare =)Â I named mine BAM due to this combo - Elementium bolt, his amp. magic, then feedback. If they happen to still be alive after they are stunned and just BAM em with another feedback. I used him to kill that accursed Major Pain in the Ass Trainers pet the Mechanopeep. Amp magic and stone rush 2 shot @ lvl 20 fer the win =)
Crimson Expanse ist not the best place to tame this pet. When flying around there, I found only one or two per about 15 minutes, with a similar spawn rate like the turkey in Valgarde.
Finally found "tons" of them a bit more to the north on the lower level plateu with the giants and on the way from there to the twilight hammer. Was about 11:30pm, after midnight the population was almost gone and there was no to less respawn.
This pet and Elementium Geode have a great combo. I had to test it to see if it worked and it did. You start with Elementium Bolt, use your slot 1 ability, then Crystal Overload before the bolt hits and the bolt does double damage, 936. You still take the 156 self damage but I think it's a small price to pay to be able to deal that much damage AND get the stun (assuming the enemy doesn't dodge, dive, burrow, blind you, stun you, or switch your geode out.)
I've seen comments about Crimson Expanse so I thought I'd write up my experience.
Encountered a rare fairly early on CE but it suicided (I didn't check here first!) and couldn't find another all morning. Got frustrated and got Topaz, Amethyst, AND Emerald Hatchlings (boy, was Emerald a long hunt!) and returned to find it the same as after I'd cleared the entire shelf AND Halcyon Egress - as others have described FULL of crimson hatchlings! May end up leaving this and returning later.
Man this one is annoying to capture as it has tendency to suicide with stone rush or elemental overload, so even terrible turnip isn't sure way to capture it.
What I did to collect all of the Deepholm pets was to take all of the rare level 20-22 pets I collected in Pandaria and leveled them through the uncommon (or less) spawns until I found a rare of each. Helped to easily get a lot of pets to 25 while hunting the rares in Deepholm. Found a bunch of these in the Crimson Expanse area.
I did an entire clear of the shelf before I even saw a p/p. However, the first to spawn was rare!
It took about ninety minutes to catch a P/P variant.; it was uncommon but got a stone instantly.
decided to name mine "lil' naaru". lolz anybody got any team suggestions for this guy?
got a rare on my 7-8th shot.
this pet is OPÂ Crystal Overload+Stone Rush=instant kill enemy petÂ
1st one I came across was a RARE....then I accidently killed >.> /facepalm. HOWEVER found tons of these guys at Crimson Exspanse 4:00 PM server time Moon Guard US Server!!!
EDIT: Not but 15 min after I posted this got a RARE <3
Oh, this thing is so suicidal. Â Took an hour to snag my uncommon H/S, and even had my team killed because I found an uncommon H/P coupled with a rare Twilight Spider. Â So make sure you don't lower it's health too much if it hasn't used takedown (or whatever the PokeWoW equivalent is called) because it will die.
Found the only rare (out of probably at least 50 direct battles or checks on Crimson Geodes) and it almost died. Â Took itself down to 6 health and I caught it. Â Phew! Â It was a H/H. Â I found it in Halcyon Egress, which had no mobs and no other players around. Â I'm not sure if I was phased or what, but I had the place to myself with no interruptions. Â (Unlike searching for them in Crimson Expanse, which has creatures and players all over.)Â
Easy fight to get one. My Voodoo Figurine grabbed 2 uncommons, never had to switch pets till the 3rd. Crimson Expanse in afternoon hours, saw about 6.
This is my new favorite pet for burst damage! Â I have a level 25 Rare Crimson Geode, and I beat Grand Master Aki with it. Love it.Â
