Cette monture se loot sur le mob rare Poséidus depuis la 4.1

Il s'agit d'une monture aquatique utilisable partout.

Commentaire de gymmli

Après 2 semaines de farm plus ou moins intensif, je me suis décider à l'acheter, j'avais déjà assez perdu de temps.
Mais quelle ne fut pas ma surprise quand j'ai vu la vitesse de la bête.

En effet, faites y bien attention, cette monture va à la même vitesse que la Tortue de mer ... Vous pouvez d’ailleurs le vérifier Hippocampe assujetti.
Il ne faut pas penser que cette monture augmente la vitesse de 450% comme Hippocampe de Vashj’ir.

Commentaire de 986041

elle est cro belle la mont sa fait bien aquatique , mais j'ai eus du mal ! Serieusement tout les jours j'essayer de farm cette mont ! C'est cho XD

Commentaire de 1116594

Tout comme gymmli, je confirme que cette monture n'est pas si extraordinaire du point de vue de la vitesse apportée...

Dans Vash'Jir :
Vitesse de nage normale : 148%
Vitesse de nage avec Hippocampe de Vashj'ir : 371%
Vitesse de nage avec Rênes de Poséidus : 270%

Dans le reste du monde :
Vitesse de nage normale : 67%
Vitesse de nage avec Rênes de Poséidus : 108%

Je précise qu'il s'agit de la vitesse de déplacement réelle et non celle indiquée dans la description de la monture.

Belle monture pourtant, il faut reconnaître que ces utilisations sont quasi inexsistantes... Pour les collectionneurs patients ou riches.

Oooh, a swimming mount! Sounds like fun. Requires Level 78 -- a level less than the cap is nice.

Commentaire de MetalGenocide

I killed him yesterday, however he only dropped 99 gold. He did not drop the mount.
This is either a bug, or, more likely, because I already had the mount it did not drop (then again it was not even in the loot window).

Commentaire de belloc

He's far too easy of a mob to drop a guaranteed mount.

The reins are probably being given back to Poseidus in 4.1. (Scroll down to quests and creatures)
Edit- Not sure why this was downrated, this is true information.

Commentaire de R4ndomizer

@ Aparchee

So true, man ^^...

Maybe it works a little bit like aeonaxx-spawns and poseidus has another creature that he shares his timer with. Like tl & vyra or aeonaxx & bloodseeker. His behaviour is also similar. He doesnt leave his place but stays there swimming circles.

Commentaire de Kokiron

Hopefully if his spawn is bugged it'll be fixed soon. Reins not linkable at all on Bronzebeard US, been camping since servers went live and haven't seen a thing.

@Aparchee: "I bet you still believe TLPD spawns out of the Engine of the makers too" lmfao totally just spit soda. There are tons of people on Bronzebeard who still camp this spot and insist it spawns there.

Commentaire de thraton

Had a nice chat with a GM. He says that the mount should be BoE. He also says that Poseidus is working as intended. In other words, if no one's seen him yet then he just hasn't spawned yet and is not bugged. What I took from this is that the spawn timer as suspected was greatly lengthened and is likely on par with Aeonaxx and TLPD. He said it's the underpant gnomes fault. When I asked for a spawn timer he said the Wow-CIA would take him if he shared that info.

Commentaire de Saphris

As soon as Cataclysm came out I started exploring Vash'jir because the questing areas were too crowded and I couldn't get anything done. Since it was within the hour that servers went live i presume i was the first to kill Poseidus but at the time I had no idea what it was as I did not take part in the PTR. After I had killed it, I looted from it 100 gold but nothing else. Their was no mount.

Commentaire de IMissThottbot

Some people seem confused about this mount.

In the Cataclysm beta, Poseidus dropped a blue-quality water mount useable in Vashj'ir.

When Cataclysm came live, this changed--the mount was obtained via quest, and Poseidus was a "common" rare who dropped ~100 gold.

In 4.1, Poseidus was changed again--now he will drop an epic-quality water mount also useable outside Vashj'ir, along with another BoE epic, and his spawn rate has been drastically decreased.

Commentaire de 824699

I've submitted a screenshot of the seahorse. The cosmetic difference with the "normal" Seahorse ( Hippocampe de Vashj'ir ) is that this one is more greeny and has more brown armor rather then metallic.

Commentaire de 764998

Poseidus tracking data is now available through a Google spreadsheet. All kills and sightings reported through Wowhead on the official forum thread will be recorded by the community on this spreadsheet.

If you are reporting a kill, please provide the following information:

Realm name (Indicate whether you are from US or EU.)
Realm time (Note that this may be different from your local time.)
Location (Spawn locations are Biel'aran Ridge, Glimmerdeep Gorge, Quel'Dormir Gardens, Ruins of Thelserai Temple, and Underlight Canyon.)

If you are reporting a sighting on the Auction House, please provide the following information:

Realm name (Indicate whether you are from US or EU.)
Price (List the buyout price.)
Faction (When available, indicate faction availability.)

Some realms may not have an updated tracking data if no one from that realm files a report through Wowhead.

I decided to sleep on the decision of selling it, and trying for another for myself. But I decided I'd rather have the first for myself.

Now for the fun stuff! I hope you have the following!

Corne à boire vrykule
Burgy Blackheart's Handsome Hat

The first thing I noticed was that it wasn't going to be easy to show this baby off to people that don't know about it. After some experimentation I found a few pretty awesome things to make you stand out.

Make sure both the drinking horn buff and burgy's hat are OFF.
Find a spot in the water that borders land that you can walk up onto.
You need to find the closest possible spot, nearest the land, that you can mount your Subdued Seahorse, You must be underwater, yet not losing breath .
Once you find the spot, dismount and use Corne à boire vrykule, then remount your Seahorse.
If all goes well, it should look something like this.
You can use your burgy hat now also, to get a bit bigger, but that's not the best part.. oh no!...
Type /mountspecial, sit back, and enjoy! :)

Ok, ok, here's a short clip for those who aren't lucky enough to own one, yet. Clicky!

Notice, this only works when you're in the sweet spot, as we'll call it. If you just mount him normally in the pools of say, Valley of Wisdom or even Vashj'ir, /mountspecial does nothing. Hopefully that will be changed soon, as it's a great animation.

Commentaire de 328155

Note: At present, when used in Vashj'ir, this mount is slower than the Abyssal Seahorse.

Listed as 269.84% (Subdued Seahorse), 371.03% (Abyssal Seahorse) on the Character Pane or when using the following script:

/run print(GetUnitSpeed("target") / 7 * 100);

I've also confirmed this by timing how long it takes to travel a fixed distance, and it's definitely slower.

Hopefully this will be fixed sometime in the future if it isn't currently working as intended <_<

Regardless, this is still an alternative to the turtle; and in my opinion, a better looking, and easier to acquire mount.

Commentaire de Jollef

It's usable in any water. Not Vashj'ir only :)

Commentaire de Dragoonman

For Poseidus's spawn points and original pages, go here: Poséidus

Poseidus's spawn time seems to range from 72-120 hours and is subject to server restarts, meaning his spawn resets after a maintenance or the weekly restart on Tuesday at 5:00 am.

The weekly maintenance usually ends at 11:00 am server time, meaning he won't spawn till at least Friday at 11:00 am server time and at the latest 11:00 am Saturday.

He will only spawn 1-2 times in an ENTIRE WEEK, so be prepared to never have your wish of getting one fulfilled. If there is a maintenance at some other point besides Tuesday in the week, he may only spawn 0-1 times in that week.

Don't waste your time trying to farm him on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday, because he will NEVER spawn on these days as long as there is a server maintenance on Tuesday. If he is killed on Friday, he will not spawn on Sunday at all, but may spawn on Monday/ Tuesday morning if killed just before 5:00 am Saturday morning. If he is killed past 5:00 am Saturday morning, he will not spawn again until Friday.

So, if you are hoping to kill Poseidus, get his precious loot, and waste as little of your time as possible, pay attention. Only camp his spawning points on Friday at 11:00 am to Sunday at 11:00 am, if you do not find him at some point during those 48 hours, he was found and killed by someone else. If you wish to take a swing at your luck, camp his spawning points from 11:00 am Monday morning to 5:00 am Tuesday morning. There is no guarantee that he will spawn on Monday or Tuesday unless he was killed in between 11:00 am Friday to 5:00 am Saturday.

Good luck farming guys and remember that he usually doesn't take 120 hours to spawn, and will most likely spawn after about 96-110 hours as is what the majority of the reports show.

If you think it would be a waste of time farming him, remember that he has been sold in prices ranging from 30k gold to 100k gold, with 100k gold being more common. If you happen to find one being sold for a small amount like 30k, BUY IT AND SELL IT FOR MORE!

In addition to the 270% swimming speed mount that can be used anywhere, he also has a chance to drop one of these three enchants: Formule : Enchantement de brassards (Force majeure), Formule : Enchantement de brassards (Agilité), Formule : Enchantement de brassards (Intelligence renforcée). He may also drop a 359 BoE world drop as well.

Oh yes, and I should mention that you CAN NOT SKIN HIM, so I'm just throwing that out there if you wanted a chance at some skin... even though it really doesn't matter since you most likely won't be trying to farm him for some savage leather.

In conclusion, killing this rare takes hard work and luck, but the payoff is like nothing ever seen. We are talking tens of thousands to over a hundred thousand gold here.

THIS IS THE BEST RARE ADD EVAR! TAKE ALL THE LOOT!

Good luck guys.

Commentaire de 369051

I wish they would change this and make it bind on pickup. Every other mount that drops from a mob is currently like that. It stinks as a mount collector to hear about someone else getting this mount and then seeing it in the AH for an insane amount of gold from the same person that just killed Poseidus.

Commentaire de Simbasimba42

Unreal, effervescent,
Like a dream in the mist-
Oh, where are you, Poseidus-
Do you even exist?

The waves up above and the seafloor beneath
The Myriad critters that inhabit the reef
And the whale shark that swims so implacably by-
And the alliance that kill me (or at least try)

Are these and more have seen me pass by
Multiple, multiple times as I try
To get my NPC scanner to say you’re nearby
But it only went off for that gnome in a hat-
Burgy Blackheart, I think- I’d have none of THAT.

As I pondered if the stars had aligned to prevent
Me from having you by my side, content-
My UI lit up like the flash of a star
Was it you? Could it be? After I’d come oh so far?

POSEIDUS my addon flashed once again
I frantically gazed all around, and then
Remembered you usually spawn to the RIGHT
So that’s where I went and lo! What a sight!

There was my rare mob- wild and free
Capaciously prancing around in the sea!
“I’m sorry” I said to the poor little guy-
But I need your phat loot- and so, you must die

I finished the deed and looted the corpse
And there It was- my own little sea horse!
Should I sell it or keep it- I really don’t know
But I’ll never forget my hours below-
Searching-
Deep,
Deep,
Deep
Under the sea
Poseidus- you’ll always be part of me.

Good luck to everyone still searching!

Commentaire de 149504

I got annoyed when I discovered it's only a 100% mount anywhere else than Vashj’ir, and in Vashj'ir it's ever so slightly slower than the other seahorse mount you get from the quest...

...I mean: I run faster on water than this thing moves. I really was hoping this would be a faster means of underwater travel. But alas it's not.

edits: and downratet it is? I clearly state information that is not immediately apparent, i.e. that this underwater mount is only a 100% speed mount outside of Vashj'ir. One of the highest commented posts on this page states: "In addition to the 270% swimming speed mount that can be used anywhere". Which is only half the truth.

Commentaire de shadowlmd

If you already have a Sea Turtle, don't waste your money on this, unless you want it for collection. It has the same speed everywhere.

Commentaire de 942325

Well, i must be the luckiest WoW player, i was herbing and bang the NPC scan came up (coords 59.82) is where i killed him, now i read alot about the Poseidus and i just didnt bother looking for him. Today just shear luck, he was swimming past. might keep him too. :) hope the coords help.

Commentaire de houseboy

My wish was granted today when I flew by spawn places couple of times. Was camping in the morning or should I say flew by 10 times and nothing happened...

Tried again at 15:46 at Abyssal Depths and went down into water because another level 1 character was camping on top. NPCScan went mad before I even got to the bottom, I was so happy and nervous but I got it, no one was around.

Commentaire de joebowen

Camped today, turned up volume and went to living room to play the new Lego Batman with my son. He turned the volume up so loud I couldn't hear my computer. Came back to see NPC Scan had found Poseidus. Was not in area. Very upsetting. Not sure of range (for instance Mobus sets it off when I'm in bloody Stormwind) I decided to run the route. First I logged out and cleared my Creature Cache so it would go off again if he was still around. It did not. I'm not sure how long he spawns for. I would appreciate any info on this. I suppose nobody really knows as nobody would watch him spawn and wait around to see how long before he despawns. My Druid secretly knows the answer but he wouldn't tell me.

Moral of the story: Buy really loud speakers if you won't be at your computer.

I remain, sad.

Commentaire de eisenhorn0917

he found me today andupon looking at the mount it revealed that the auction price is originally 85000 so be prepared if you want to pass tryin to find him and go to buy him you may pay a substatial amount for him.

Commentaire de 1012420

Thank you everyone for all of the helpful information. I have been farming this mount for a couple months now (focusing most of my time from 10am Friday - 10pm Saturday). Sadly I have yet to be lucky enough to see him spawn or even see a corpse.

A little help for those who may not have thought of it yet. I have multiple accounts and I find it to help in the camping process to park a toon in the Underlight Canyon and use my other toon to do circles around the other four spawn points as the canyon is a good distance from the rest of the spawn points.

Hope this little bit of info helps someone and good luck to all trying to farm this rare. Don't get discouraged.

I think Wowhead is a little of with a buyout price of 100g....I've seen this on my AH for upwards of 30k gold. I would rather just waste my time searching for it.

My second kill:

Server: **out of respect for a fellow camper I will no longer be listing the server**
Time: Friday July 13, 2012 8:58am
Location: NW Spawnpoint (of four in Shimmering Expanse)

This week's server reset was only a 15minute one. So, our server was back online at 6:00am Tuesday. I started camping today at 6:00am (72 hours later) and only waited 3 hours for Poseidus. Other kills on my server, over the past few months, have all been at least a day, or two, later.

I should also mention that he has spawened at four different points in four weeks straight. Don't know if this means he rotates, but it worked out here.

Just as the tooltip for the mount says, this can be used in any place with significant water: Stormwind Canals, off the coast of any zone; unlike the quest reward version, this is not limited to the Cataclysm zone Vash'jir.

*****JOE BOWEN'S POSEIDUS EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE******

**UPDATED April 19, 2014**

This is my fourth kill. I share camping responsibilities with a friend I met while camping. We will split spawnpoints. He got the idea of having an alt camp at Abyssal. He logs out and in to check this alt every few minutes.

5TH KILL:
Shimmering Expanse (NW) Friday, Aug. 10, 2012 5:26pm

I have taken note of every spawn (or at least kill as spawns may occur before we find Poseidus) I have noticed a couple of patterns:

I can confirm now that Poseidus rotated spawnpoints over 5 weeks. THEN (update July 28) pattern broken.

2012 KILLS

Aug. 17 ***Sudden server restart Friday morning****
Aug. 25 Abyssal Depths (Anonymous player) -didn't provide time

Please note the three NW spawns in 5 weeks.

The other pattern, or what seems like a pattern, is with regards to rolling restarts. On these days our server tends to restart very early. July 10th and 17th it experienced a restart near the beginning of the day. Both Fridays after that I killed Poseidus. The 13th was at 8:58am and the 20th was at 8:36am. Two is certainly not definitive proof that this is a pattern, but it is a start. All three other spawns I have been privy to have been on Saturday. Also not proof of anything, but at least tracked evidence. (UPDATE July 28) pattern broken.

SEPTEMBER *PANDARIA PATCH, CONSTANT RESTARTS - NO SPAWNS*
OCTOBER *PANDARIA PATCH, CONSTANT RESTARTS - NO SPAWNS*
EARLY NOVEMBER *PANDARIA PATCH, CONSTANT RESTARTS - NO SPAWNS*

...Cross Realm Zones came into play and completely ruined rare spawn opportunities. For that reason I have only posted what I know from here on out....CRZ may affect spawns, I'm not sure. I have yet to see any evidence of that. If not, we are all being cheated as so many must camp for the same rares now. I am extremely upset about this new development...

***September 8, 2013***
Several servers were restarted on Saturday, Sept. 7 in the morning. All 5 spawn points in our CRZ were camped all weekend. We had no Poseidus by 120 hour mark. It seems as long as any realm in a CRZ is restarted, it affects spawn.

I learned when to camp from past player experience. You may not have read this already so I will comment on the following: Poseidus spawns 72 hours, or more, after each server restart (which takes place on Tuesdays) or kill. If you get a kill on a Friday, on your server, it is possible for a second one that week on Monday (72+ hours from the kill) Do not listen to anyone who tells you Poseidus is not connected to restarts. They will just help you into three days of wasted time.

If you don't already have it, get NPCScan AND NPCScan Overlay. The overlay is very important as it shows you the spawn points on your map. You can find it by going to a download site called Curse.com. Some of you think this is obvious, I'm sure, but I can't tell you how many people I have met who have never heard of it. It is a little complicated to use (and to clear the cache) so you will have to read about it a little. It is WELL WORTH THE EFFORT as it will save you a tremendous amount of time in searching for Poseidus and other NPCs (Non-Player Characters) It will tell you when you are near Poseidus, without you having to be close enough to see him. It sets off a sound alarm and makes your screen glow red. It also puts a logo at the bottom of your screen of the NPC it has detected. Some you have to be directly over or under, others will set off your scanner from really far away. Poseidus must be right under or over your location. You can turn the volume up to full, turn down the game's volumes (even all the way) such as Sound, Music, Ambience. DO NOT turn down Master Volume though. This will mute your alarm.

I hope this info is useful. I feel I have the most well documented info available in the threads. I will continue to track our kills and update this info.

Here is a list of probabilities based on the hour you are hunting, if a kill has yet to be made. This chart is based on a recent 11am restart on Tuesday. But the numbers are good. The percentage is the odds you will see a spawn during that hour. Of course, there are 5 spawn points so you must divide this number by 5 (x 0.2) to get an accurate estimate for single camp sites. The first number is the time of day based on Tuesday 11am restart. The second number is the hour starting at 72 hours after restart. The last number is the chance Poseidus will spawn during that hour. This is based on the theory (mostly proven) that Poseidus spawns between 72 and 120 hours after server restarts. So, there is a 48 hour window. Hour 1 = 1/48 2% rounded simply to err on side of caution. Hour 25 48 hours - 24 hours = 24 hours remaining. 1/24 = 4.1%.

One last comment on spawns. In my experience Poseidus sleeps at night as I have only ever seen and heard of waking hour spawns. This may also have to do with players being present in the zone, however, so that may affect 3am spawns (for example) This is neither confirmed or proven either way, in my extensive experience.

Good Luck

Commentaire de Diclera

I just got the TLPD yesterday after some weeks of camping and losing out on getting it to others, and thought I would farm the Cata mounts. Put my shammy in Vashjr just east of the Nespirah, camped some for Aeonaxx, and checked in on my shammy. There he was! 05.15 Earthen Ring EU. I just guess I was extremely lucky. Good luck to everybody else who wants this mount!

Commentaire de Warcraftwolf

Anyone know the spawn timer for this I finally saw it but was dead and would like to know how long I should wait to see if I can find it this time alive.

Commentaire de Quelloli

So here's the story of how I dropped Poseidus, it's a funny one in my opinion:

One evening my friends were like: "Hey, let's go bash that big whale shark in Vash'jr!"
"Ok!"
We all died, but it was ok, we laughed all the while.
After that i'm like: "Ok guys, dinner time for me, I'll be back in a sec".
So I afked there, near one of the submerged palaces, and as I come back I spot this horse swimming before me.
I didn't even know it dropped the mount. I just thought "Wow, that's a mob I've never seen! Let's destroy him!"
And so I killed it, and when I told my friends I realized the luck I just had.
The end XD.

Like the Sea Turtle, the Subdued Seahorse is usable before you gain the riding skill at 20 by using "/cast Subdued Seahorse" in water. The turtle is a bit more useful on land (though it's still walking speed), but it can make some of the watery areas of the goblin starting area more fun!

Can't believe it but I just got him. I had to use multiple accounts using multiple realms to do it. It took me a total of about 12 hours total of checking between two days.

I was pretty disappointed because for some reason I thought that he would be fast in any body of water you used him in, but he's actually quite slow outside of Vashj'ir. He isn't the 371%, but it was something like 105% which is faster than a regular mount, but slower than the Sea Turtle, Raft, and even the Water Strider I believe.

Here is unnecessary video just after I killed it. Note that I caught it on a second account so I had to change cameras and adjust the screen at the beginning. Didn't capture the actual kill on my main account screen, but I did capture looting the corpse.

It'd be awesome to ride this on land, like adding a bubble around it (when its on land) like the goldfish pets. I paid a decent amount for this mount and i cant even show it off.

Just an idea pls no hate

Here's the guide I made back in 2012, as well as the video I just recorded of each spawn point. Hope it helps.

Here is my experience. I just bought this mount from AH, as I haven't been lucky so far to catch Poseidus in the wild and I am something of a mount collector in the game. Seeing as the prices keep going up and with the coming of the new expansion and big increase in gold cap, I concluded that very soon it will be even more then 999,999g that it has pretty much been lately on my server. I found a deal on auction buyout 810k, bid 769k i think, so I bid and won. Thought it was a fairly good deal and so am grateful to the seller who sold it to me, although as you will see in the end I do not feel at all satisfied with the "product" that I bought, no fault of his, mind you :).

Breakdown of different speeds with and without water mounts:

1. in Vashj'ir zone
swim speed (with Sea Legs zone wide buff) 148%
riding turtle/sea turtle 270%
subdued seahorse (from Poseidus) 270%
vashj'ir seahorse (from quest) 371%

2. everywhere else
swim speed 67%
riding turtle/sea turtle 108%
subdued seahorse (from Poseidus) 108%

So basically, if you have a turtle, this mount is simply a different skin for same functionality as it has exactly the same speed and function as the sea turtle which you can get out of fish schools and in garrison.

I don't buy gold via tokens, I make my gold in game and it takes a bit of time and effort to collect nearly 800k or more gold, which I suppose is a bit beside the point, but what I want to emphasize is that for this amount of effort and time invested, I feel quite disappointed with what I got in return, as it feels like one of the most underwhelming things I have ever done or received in wow. It pretty much gives me a +1 in mounts owned and very little else, and I suppose I like to feel some kind of satisfaction and enjoyment when I get something in the game, especially for that kind of investment, be it time or gold. And I didn't get that with this mount.

Not saying you shouldn't buy it or spend a long time camping it, what I'm saying is don't be like me and be informed about what you are getting with this one. It's a longish post, but I hope it's helpful.

Is this possible to group farm as of 7.0.3? (referring to mount dropping to everyone in a group if personal loot is enabled)

Commentaire de Pixiwix

For three years I camped this mount.
I developed strategies, placed multiple alts, sat awake feeling like a drug addict and never saw Poseidus once.

For three years, I scanned the auction house, staring at the Reins of Poseidus, taunting me, reminding me I'd never be able to afford it because my altoholic transmog habit prevented me from saving more than 500k gold at any one time.

Today, I checked my auction house.
The angels sang, dolphins clapped, and I couldn't believe my eyes.

Reins of Poseidus 899,999g
Reins of Poseidus 899,998g
Reins of Poseidus 495,999g

I clicked "BUY" so fast, my brain didn't have time to catch up for almost an hour.
I left it in my bag, debating whether to sell it for a steep profit or learn it and put my misery to end.

I had started to question (many times) if this mount was even worth it.

I knew I would NEVER forgive myself if I passed up this golden opportunity, so I learned it...and it is absolutely worth it (if for no other reason than to end the struggle).

MORAL OF THE STORY: Check your Auction House thoroughly and often...miracles do happen (with this or any BOE rare mount/item).

Commentaire de ConjuredBiscuit

Spawns every 4 hours now as of 7.3.2

The mount will be close to worthless soon. Sell em if you got em.

Commentaire de R4ndomizer

Sadly they reduced the respawntimer to nothing. The secret and fun to make Gold with this creature is gone.

This can be closed :-(.

7.3.2 Patch puts Poseidus spawn timer at around 8 hours. No more waiting 3 days after a reset before it spawns! Go out and get yours today and stop paying 1,000,000+ gold for it on the AU.

Commentaire de SerroDan

Rênes de Poséidus is a rare mount dropped by the rare, Poséidus. And it is one of the few mounts that can be traded on the Auction House.

Poséidus was first introduced in the Cataclysm expansion. And soon become an item of desire after his spawn timer was shot hard, making him only spawn 1-2 times a week!
However very recently Blizzard have nerfed this spawn timer, making him spawn lots of times during the week.

This spawn timer is now, 3 - 8 hours! Crazy!
So after he is killed the timer will start again, but only after 3 hours of his death will he have a chance at spawning again!

Want the best chance at getting yours?

New spawn times 2-4 hours Confirmed

Commentaire de Euslays

Hey all,

Contradictory to popular belief, I have currently waited 10 Hours since the last Poseidus Kill on my realm in a 5 man team with all locations covered throughout the day.

The consensus seems to be 4-8 hours and people are assuring me this is gospel, but i'm unsure as to how it could have not spawned by now.

Maybe further research is needed, i'll update if it spawns.

Commentaire de remid0d0s0

I don't see this mount being "cheap." Anything involving camping for hours will never be cheap.

It'll certainly be more plentiful though.

I'll be buying some of them to put in the vault because people aren't going to continue to camp for hours for 100k apiece. *shrug*

*Edit* -- started selling the ones I bought for 80k for 160k. Carry on with the downvotes!

Commentaire de Module

Currently it sells for 40k gold on Zul’Jin US realm. Prices will go even lower based on the new spawn time and groups camping him.

I got mine with a group listed on LFG that was camping him. We all got the mount.

I see other Cataclysm mounts having the same fate. Which is great for us that don’t have the time to camp for weeks.

Commentaire de swabcraft

Trial Characters who loot Poseidus will not get the mount anymore. Shortly after the spawn time was changed I can confirm that the reins dropped for trial characters, but now I can confirm that they do not.

This is, as far as I know, an undocumented change and not well known since any info on it did not appear on google search. Trial characters will still get the normal epic item and cataclysm recipe though.

I currently believe that poseidus's reins are the only item to have this restriction, due to their bind on equip nature and high resale value. I tested burgly blackheart and he still dropped his hansom hat toy. That said, this change might have been applied to other rare spawns that drop mounts, but due to those being either very hard to find or low % drop chances I will not be testing them.

EDIT: Most/all Mounts from rare spawns officially no longer drop for Trial Characters.
https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/131905
"Class Trials provide you with the ability to try out a class before you decide to level it further or boost it. They are not intended to be used to farm rare items and drops. We have restricted access to certain high-value items, pets, and mounts."

(I'll note that they made the Reins of Poseidus restricted from trial characters months before they did so for other mounts like the one Huolon drops.)

*Edit: Why was this downvoted when I gave all the appropriate information? Date, realm time, location, realm. I thought I was being helpful. Stop down voting people if you're a miserable, jealous person. Some of us want to share what worked for us in hopes that it will work for you, too.

Just got the Reins of Poseidus! Finally!

When I logged on today, I was camped out at Biel'aran Temple, and decided to take a quick trip around other possible spawn points (outside Nespirah and Ruins of Vashj'ir) then back to where I started. While waiting, I looked up tips here on this thread. NPC Scan had given me trouble recently so it was uninstalled and I've been relying on Rarity and Silverdragon. Both addons have been accurate so far. Neither of these has marked spawn points or paths, but from my last use of NPC Scan, I remembered Ruins of Thelserai Temple being among spawn points.

I planned to hearth out and do some rep grinding but figured I'd head to that area and check it out. When I got there, I sat for a few seconds when I saw a seahorse swim by. Unsure if it was another player just slightly above my viewpoint of their nameplate, I moused over and heard the alert! My heart pounded, hoping no one else was nearby and swam up within reach of my Draenei Shaman's Lightning Bolt. Looted and got the mount, a plate chestpiece, and a jewelcrafting design (which is useful to this character), as well as money (92g 94s 98c).

The mouseover coordinates given were 64.9, 44.2. I don't have a separate coordinates addon, so it was from Rarity or Silverdragon.

*Edited to reflect the correct day of the week. Thursday, not Friday. *facepalm*

Commentaire de Royi

Just grabbed it off the AH for 50k - right now for some reason there are 25+ Poseiduses on there with 20 of them at the 50k mark. Just posting this for reference (especially since the timer is nerfed, don't pay 100's of thousands for this anymore).

I figured for 50k it was worth it for me to not have to waste any more time in Vash.

Commentaire de jumbles

This mount shares the same speed with other swimming mounts such as the Saumefond benthique
Special Swimming Mounts give a buff to swimming speed and it is 35% faster than walking. So 135% total
Normal Swimming reduces your speed to 33% of walking. So 67% total

This means the mount is double the speed of normal swimming.

Commentaire de BendikJac

I can confirm that you can still farm the mount by using a Class Trial character on a low population realm. The trick is to start a custom group on the realm where he has spawned, then log in to a character that are eligible to loot the mount. Use the group finder to join the custom group, then zone in and get your mount. Make sure the character is in the same zone to properly cross over.

Another useful tip is that Poseidus can be targeted while above the sea level, so using a flying mount is a great way to quickly cover all of his spawn points. Just spam your targeting macro every time you pass one.

Commentaire de Xhathil

Usually, this item is sold for about 200,000 to 2,000,000 gold on Aman'thul. Today, I was checking the mount prices and voilà: 4x Reigns of Poseidus for only 29,999 gold each. Guess who is a lucky owner of four Reigns of Poseidus now.

Commentaire de CzechCloud

I bought this mount a few months ago just to find out that its now worth about 30 000 because of its insanely buffed drop rate.

Dont make the same mistake i did.

Commentaire de NinjaLooterLoveU

People that have it, shouldn't have priority sit and camp it, blocking new people from doing anything except buying it from them. Freak'n gold farmers!

Commentaire de dabrixmgp

Did they nerf the speed of this thing? I was under the impression it was faster than the regular seahorse you get from the early quest. When I equip this mount it says on my character sheet my movement speed is 270% but when I equip the regular seahorse it says my movement speed is 371%

Dont waste your gold unless you are just buying it to fill mount collector.

Commentaire de Shantai1987

Just bought one for 4499g. Apparently they must have really nerfed the spawn rate so more rares spawn. OR maybe now everyone gets one in the party?

Commentaire de soulful

in 8.1 made changes to the receipt of the mount. Now killing a rare monster - only 1 player gets the loot. There is no longer possible to get 5 or more people. the same system with a rare monster Aeonaxx and his mount Rênes de drake de pierre phosphorescent so good luck with the rare monster farm

Commentaire de Mike00

This sea horse + Hydrocane = a whole new world to explore, admittedly... not a whole lot going down under the sea.

Commentaire de Lushly

The spawn rate was massively increased quite some time ago - it has always been a 100% drop rate for mount but the respawn used to be once a week (sometimes not even weekly if there was an extra reset) ...then multi tag loot made it a little more common on AH ( not sure if everyone in group now still gets mount - judging from some other comments, I don't think any mobs that have 100% mount drop rates still award a mount to everyone in party)...and then they made it spawn every hour or less, which greatly devalued its price & novelty - which sux for those who camped it or spent huge gold purchasing it when it was extremely hard to get
