Got Gondria?

by Garwulf on May 27, 2009 · 64 comments

Got Gondria?

Based upon the coordinates provided by over three dozen site visitors, I’ve created a new map for Gondria’s spawn locations in Zul’Drak.

I’ve also indicated the most common confirmed spawn locations from hottest to coolest. So far, 77,70 seems to be the most likely spot to find Gondria by far.

Map of Gondria's Spawn Locations in Zul'Drak

Since my only unsuccessful hunt for Gondria was conducted on the 3.1 Public Test Realm, I cannot confirm whether or not he/she patrols. I’m going to assume that Gondria hovers around in one spot similar to the only other tamable Spirit Beast, Loque’nahak.

Here is a complete listing of the coordinates for Gondria’s spawn locations in Zul’Drak based upon nearly forty confirmed tamings by site visitors. They are listed in order of most common to least common, with 77,70 being by far the hottest location. The coordinates are rounded off to the nearest whole number.

  1. 77,70
  2. 66,78
  3. 63,43
  4. 69,49
  5. 62,62
  6. 62,52

If you’re a Beast Mastery Hunter and you’re looking to add this beautiful Spirit Beast to your stable, then be sure and check out my previous post regarding the NPCScan addon.

If you don’t want to mess with NPCScan, you can look for Gondria the old fashioned way by using a target macro.

/target Gondria

Spam this macro as you patrol around Gondria’s known spawn locations. If you have any trouble locating Gondria, then simply cast a Hunter’s Mark to help you pinpoint the location.

Like Loque’nahak, Gondria is a neutral mob, so there will be a yellow dot which will appear on your mini-map provided you have Track Beasts activated.

Good luck to all you Hunters still seeking, or planning on seeking this majestic creature.

I wish we could tame these rares while playing MM or SV. I love Loque’Nahak for example but heìs taking dust in the stable: poor damage, low utility, BM-only. I switch to BM for grinding low-level instances only and in that occasion a tank pet is mandatory.

Sigh!

I found Gondria twice, first time on my hunter and tamed her, second time on my druid. I spent about ten minutes watching her, she doesn’t patrol, just wanders in a kind of triangle, but never far from the spawn point.

The first time I came across her was at 77.70 (where I tamed her), the second time was at 66.78.

I asked in all the channels and even jumped on a hordie to ask in their trade, and made an orc hunter very happy. Can’t have someone kill it… So, all in all, Gondria was wandering around unspotted and unkilled for at least 20minutes! This was at 3am ST, and not many people on my realm either know about her, or seem interested (Loque is still a favorite amongst the hunters).

Ah yes, realm is Steamwheedle Cartel-EU

PS, brief post on Aotona, I’ve been searching for her for two weeks now, and in all my WOTLK time, I haven’t even come across her dead body!

Kassiopeia,

Thanks for the info and the screenshot.

I’ve only seen Aotona twice. Once dead, and once alive. That’s one less time than I’ve seen Loque, so I’m guessing Aotona is going to be a difficult tame for Hunters that want it. I still haven’t seen a Hunter with him on my server.

I think it’d be so cool to have Aotona out along with the Hyacinth Macaw non-combat pet. Of course then I’d have to get exalted with the Bloodsails for the title and the regalia. ;)

Both myself and a guildmate tamed Gondria at 77.70 adn he does just basically roam in a triangular pattern above the bears there. As to the DPS I have not seen a reduction in my DPS in raids since I booted my cat for Loque or Gondria like other hunters maybe I have a better shot rotation not sure. After all the hours hunting for them and finaly getting them DPS does not really matter especially when Loque goes in for the Kill and makes the raid group deaf from his awesome roar. For those of you who have not tamed either keep at it you will get one or both I consider myself lucky and blessed to have both. I have found the add-on silverdragon to be much better at finding rares, unlike npcscan which will ding even if it has been tamed silverdragon can be setup where it will not ding unless they are tameable.

Good Hunting!

61.37 seems to be the order of the day on Darkspear EU, I tamed him there, another mate tamed him there, but another had him at 62.52

Lots of people on Darkspear seem to be camping him at 73.65 though.

Tamed him last night on Vek’Nilash-US. He was wandering at 67,77. Thanks for the location info and the plug for the NPCScan addon. Now I have a great new pet!

/target Ghondria
/stopmacro [noexists]
/script PlaySound(“RaidWarning”)
/run RaidNotice_AddMessage(RaidBossEmoteFrame,”THERE HE IS !”, ChatTypeInfo["RAID_WARNING"])

Thanks for the help – I tamed Gondra 7/5/09 1:34pm Grizzly Hills server coord 69.49 – loaded NPC_Scan, and flew the circuit of the 6 spawn points at random intervals each day from 7/1/09 to 7/5/09 – Good luck to all and be patient!

Hi just got Gondria at 68, 77… been camping for 6 and a half hours behind the altar and he spawned right infront of me! The npc scan addon works so good. Use it if you can get it… thanks for the info on spawns :) works great. Also this is the third time i’ve heard him spawn behind the altar.

I got him at 10:20 pm on Lethon at 66, 78. I hadn’t been looking in ZD very long before I found him…I got very lucky.

18 Pelle August 17, 2009 at 7:08 am

Just got him :) 1am (GMT+10) at 66,78. My first flight over this area. Thanks to the map on this site!! And thanks to the script below…

/tar gondria
/script local t=UnitName(“target”); if (t == null) then t=date(“%S”) else PlaySound(“RaidWarning”) end; DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(t)

If you can’t see him after the alert, then throw out an “Hunters Mark”

Throw out your “Freezing trap” and then work your best… “Tame Beast”.

Enjoy!

I just tamed Gondria last night, 21.30 GMT, 14.30 Server time US-Blackrock using the target/spamming macro – confirmed location 63,43, just sat there.

Yes, *she* is absolutely beautiful :) , the screen shots don’t do her justice.

The only thing was I’d just turned level 77, so I was in a mild state of panic when I targeted her first and managed to let her kill me. Fortunately the graveyard wasn’t too far away and I ran back and she was still sat in the same place, so I can confirm the other poster’s observations that she never wanders far from the spawn points.

24 Togie September 19, 2009 at 11:33 pm

Got the chance to tame it today september 20 ’09.
Camped him/her for a long time, best tip that i can share is; DONT CAMP. DONT MAKE CIRCLES OVER AND OVER!
Make 1 round first around Gondria’s spawpoints, he/she aint there go to the other rare elites in Zul’drak, if ya kill those first you have a higher chance to Tame it en locate it. On youre map use track beast it WILL show up as a yellow dot. Do use NPC-scan.

if all those info helps you out taming him/her, do mail me.

Just to confirm that the 77,70 co-ords are hot ! Great info, many thanks.

Was in the area and thought I’d just have a quick look on the off chance – lo and behold Gondria was waiting for me ;-) Dropped a freezing trap & tamed – piece of cake !

Found her yesterday (11.11.09) at 62.62 about 4pm on my hunter on aszune. just ran out of the town and she was right there. i unfortunatly was only 76 :( so was running around Zul’drak frantically trying to level. went to check back about half an hour later (still hadnt levelled) and she was gone, no body so i assumed she was tamed :( damn.

I saw someone with her in Dal. asked them where they got her, they took me to where she was at and she was right there in front of me. I landed and trapped her then tamed here it was easy. Good Luck to all that is looking for her.

That was quite a stroke of luck you had there. Not to mention that player was pretty cool assisting you with finding the spawn location(s). grats!

Hey Garwulf,

Just wanted to say thank you for this map. A few months back (right after Skoll was introduced, figured with most hunters looking for him and Loque being way rare, Gondria was my best bet), I made a macro that generated all the spawn points on my tour guide addon, and I would just fly around every now and then over all the points to see if I could nab my own spirit beast. Well, I got him last night before bed, at 66,78. Easy as pie.

Happy Thanksgiving, and thanks again.

Tamed her last evening at about 10 am at 77/70. NPCscan came up and I needed a few seconds to distinguish her from the snow :) .
It’s a beautiful pet and was worth the 2-3 h of camping and flying around for last two evenings.

After a full day of camping the given locations of Gondria I caught her. I caught her at the 69, 49 location about 7:23 p.m on Hellscream which was almost exacly 4 hours after i had tamed terror spinner in the spawn point for her just east of there.

I was over at the 63, 43 spawnpoint at around 7:30 server time and had gone to pick up food. When I got home the alarm had gone off but she was nowhere to be seen. If she was tamed or killed at that point that would have only been 2 hours or so till she spawned again at 69, 47. I had been flying around and stopped to hover over 63. 43 again and was about to log for bed when I decided to go just over to the crator at 69, 47 again and the alarm went off. I didnt believe it but there she was. Frost trap..tame..mine! :) Just tamed Gondria on Drenden @ 10:38pm server time.

No luck atm, No NPC scan, can’t get it, and I’ve been to all of her spawn points. She must’ve allready been tamed on Arathor.

Keep at it. Gondria is only up about 4 times per day, so continue to check and you’ll eventually see her.
