    okay here is the skinny on this guy.  The 6 hour timer is BS.  Unless he spawns 3 miles away and has multiple pat paths.  I think the timer is much longer.  I was there on a Monday at 11pm server on silvermoon got a target on him using a macro. (/target time). unfortunately I didn't see it before it flew off too far and I lost the target. but what I did find later was a dead time lost proto-drake at about 11:15.  The exact coords for the dead proto was 28.08-51.8. in a little valley north of valkyrion.  so too bad I missed that one. I figured that I would just hang out the next day and get it.  Tuesday I waited to log on not by choice but because of maintenance. so at 11am server I logged on. and I flew what I think is the most viable path that it follows based on the info I've found. he comes from the south of the engine of the makers through the blue drakes over and to the north of the frigid tomb(left turn ) past and to the north of the brood mothers nest into bor's breath ravine (right turn north) toward the valkyrion village and onto the snow drift plains. from there its anyone's guess but that's the only hunk O path I have any personal EXP with.  as for the timer I was there on Tuesday from 11 am to 1am on Wednesday morning. that's 14 hours so even if 1 person got it before me I would have seen its corps because its not sinkable or I would have caught the next one. If the 6 hour thing was right.  so okay lets ask a a GM if there is a problem with it. Nope functioning correctly they assure me. 
    The macro is as follows
    /target time
    /target vyragosa
    /target dirkee
    /stopmacro [noexists]
    /tell YOURNAMEHERE >%t<

      Sorry but I'm fairly new to macros and I'm not sure if any of the stuff in here besides the "name" portion is a placeholder.  What is the %t for, for instance?  Do I copy this macro exactly aside from needing to put my name in the name field?

        In any of the chat commands (/say /p /w /g etc.), %t is replaced by the name of your current target. The command doesn't have to be in a macro for this to work.

        The only placeholder in the above macro is YOURNAMEHERE, which you need to replace with your character name so that it whispers to you.

      "Tuesday I waited to log on not by choice but because of maintenance."

      Did you reset your timing here?  I think when the servers go down for their extended periods, the spawns reset.  I could be wrong of course.

      I'm not sure where most people got the "timers" on spawns for but i can say it has to be way off. Yesterday morning at 4:31am while flying over Brumhildar i spotted and killed Vyragossa, at 6:05am i was by K3 and watched a hordie take down Time Lost Photo Drake. Today i noticed vyraggosa again and decided to follow his flight path as long as possible before he was killed, while not sure of spawn point i AGAIN noticed him above Brunhildar going northbound he made a left towards Bohr's breath/rohemedal pass. He was finally killed over valkrie(sp). So from this i am assuiming that Vyragossa and TLPD spawn around K3 and fly north over Brumhildar. Maybe different servers share differnt spawn timers? Who knows, but on our server it's been way less then the thought of 6 hours.

      4 hour timer with a 1/16th chance of spawning. Thats why you did not c it with ur 14 hours of farming my friend. Because the game can go two weeks without spawning the time lost rare mob. there are also 3 flight paths it takes, rumored 4 but ive seen a map of only 3 from a site that tracks all kills on all servers. forgot the site name sorry. all 3 flight paths converge on the valley north west of frosthold. so the ??,66 area valley. Think it might b like 36,66 is the middle of the valley. Anyways hopes this helps ladies n gents and gl hunting!
