Perfectly Disable CRZ(no special tools needed)

[Notgoodenough]

I tried with a loot a rang and using fetch, neither options worked. As soon as i'd leave my cart the cast would finish but nothing would happen. The difference between the two is, the loot from vyragosa isn't bop. The mount is.

I won't consider hunting TLPD, without being in a group, or a toon who can't fetch/loot a rang, and definitely without spare carts.

15 vyragosas, 0 tlpd...

it's an expensive way to get it.. uff

I have sold like 9 TLPDs I think doing this method. I used to just go with the group loot until I got scammed once. (He got the mount, and didn't pay me) Since that I started just free for all looting the mount and trading it to the buyer while he traded the gold.

Did you do something different? What's your latency like? Do you have an addon that suppresses the bop dialogue? I just couldn't loot the mount fast enough because of the dialog, it didn't matter what I tried. So far in the past 34 hours of camping I've seen TLPD twice and screwed it up, so I don't want to mess up this last time. I'm well over 200 feasts at this point.

just master loot it

I'm well over 30 vyragosa spawns at this point, i still have 3 different server brackets try out. at this point i'm closing in on 200ish carts lol. I definitely agree, i've spent hundreds, if not thousands of hours camping tlpd the regular way. Congrats on getting your mount!

Thanks! Im at 210 mounts now, and I had spent so many hours camping it and never had even seen TLPD. I had given up any hope that I would get him, or the mount from Aeonaxx, so I was stoked when I finally could get him, albeit still a pain to do, but at least possible.

My latency is around 40 when it's not lagging. I don't think I have addon that does that, but it doesn't ask for "looting this will bind on you yadada".

I tried it many times for the TLPD and for Aeonaxx too but it never worked for me. Is it possible that it couldn't work on my realm?

Spending some gold > hours and hours of camping spawns, imo. :P

If your realm hosts the CRZ then it might not work.

Try another realm.

[The Insane]

With "try another realm" do u mean that I need to make a new char on another realm and level it to 90? Omg

think he means have someone invite you to their realm.

[eugenesv]

That would be impossible (unless you do indeed level a new char there capable of soloing those bosses) since you can only get transferred to your own server IP with this method, so x-realm invites don't mean anything.

Try another realm.

Doesn't matter - I farmed it on a high-pop realm which hosts all CRZs in Northrend. What matters is zone IP vs. server IP - and this should be different (if you see a .5 sec freeze when changing zones - it means IP changes), unless there is a server where ALL of Northrend maps are on the same IP.
Btw, as a general rule, if you need some help provide more info rather than just "I tried, it didn't work" because most likely you made some mistake.
The best way to check is do what OP suggested >50 pages ago
1) Find your server IP
2) Find The Storm Peaks IP (whether it belongs to your server since your server is hosting CRZ or it belongs to another server which is hosting CRZ is completely irrelevant)
3) Block The Storm Peaks IP and enter The Storm Peaks from any map that has a different unique IP (different from The Storm Peaks zone obviously and unique meaning different from any zone you've already used to farm Vyra/TLPD before)
4) Use noodle cart @ x-path spot and wait till you see a drake etc. for the kill&loot

It's pretty easy to find zone IPs - just fly to each zone and use the netfind command OP mentioned at the start - you'll see whether IP changes or not.

P.S.
Finally got my TLPD after ~15 Vyragosa kills - very happy :-))
As mentioned, my server hosts all CRZs, and only had 6 different IPs in Northrend, so could only farm x6 Vyragosa's every spawn cycle.
But still listening to all the stories of 2year farming from ppl - this method beats anything!!! So very happy.
Btw, none of the aforementioned methods of tagging or looting (target, exit cart script and shoot; loot-a-rang etc.) worked for me - after I exited the cart nothing else that was macroed did anything - and manual button spams while clicking on the exit vehicle button didn't work either - the only way for me was to aoe in the empty realm, wait till I kill with AOE, then use cart to see corpse - and only click spam with auto loot enabled worked after I exited the cart - not all the time (sometimes only 1 item of 2 got looted, had to spend another cart to loot the other) - maybe it was due to low latency of ~40ms, dunno.

Small tip to all the ungrateful *** who complaint about noodle cart costs (srsly??? try farming without for a few months you'll appreciate the ease of this method) - you can just waste time using FP to fly again and again to the Storm Peaks until you spot Vyragosa/TLPD and see which path it's flying in - then just camp on the ground spot, spam AOE to kill it and use noodle cart only if you want to loot - so if you're that greedy *** you can spend maximum 1-3 carst per TLPD (depending on your luck of looting him after cancelling the cart) - it does require more time and more skill but that's the tradeoff.

PPS
If anyone figures out the hack for Poseidus mount (likely impossible, but who knows would be very grateful

@AstroDzn, thanks a lot for the post - helped me clarified a few things for me vs. OP!!!
Just a minor thing - the min 6hr timer doesn't exist since shattering, can be lower - especially if you kill other rares - so if you really want to speed it up, use the same method to kill all rares (just aoe on their paths, no need to loot if you don't want to) and force the spawn timer. Otherwise there is still a risk that TLPD will despawn if you want too long.
As far as I remember, my TLPD spawned within 3-4hrs after Vyra (killed one before raid, and finally found TLPD after raid.
Just read Not So Rare - News, Updates, etc. - it has almost all the necessary facts needed to farm it efficiently.

I have recently run into a new error that I have never seen before. Before someone starts crying 'mistake', I guess you could say I'm a veteran of using this method. I used it before it was fixed in February and managed to grab Aeonaxx, Posideus, Loque and a few other rare hunter pets by using this with some of my own tweaks to having to block single IPs on top of ranges. I saw the updates to the thread and started trying for TLPD with this method last week.

Today, my realm (Darrowmere) got connected with a new realm (Windrunner). The transition between zones does not take place now and it appears that Darrowmere hosts every zone in Northrend after the realm connection. Last week, I was able to get in and see Vyra several times. Sadly, I ran out of noodle carts until today, when the connection was implemented.

My IPs in Org and Shrine:
12.129.222.186
12.129.222.189

My IPs in Storm Peaks and Icecrown:
12.129.222.186
12.129.222.189

I attempted to block 155-188/190-255 (basically excluding 189).
The new IP result (in both IC and SP):
12.129.222.189 with only a slight change in TCP.
12.129.222.189

Next, I blocked 155-185/187-250 (excluding 186 only)
Results:
Character Not Found.
Edit 2: Blocked 1-185/287-255
Character Not Found.
I am now assuming 189 is my server IP, but am puzzled as to why blocking everything but it causes it to duplicate itself.

Edit 3:
I blocked 1-188/190-255 (excluding 189 only)
Results (in zones AND Org/Dal):
12.129.222.189
12.129.222.189

Will be editing this post as I continue trying to find a way around the host server issue. Maybe with the realm combining, there truly is no way anymore.
