For all of you pet collectors out hunting these new little guys, here's some help:
(these co-ordinates are used with WoW addons such as TomTom)

/way 37.37 77.29 Skunky Ale
/way 67.3 44.1 Ashleaf Sprite
/way 64.5 27.1 Ruby Drop
/way 45.6 72.9 Dandelion
/way 30.5 49.0 Death Adder
/way 33.6 70.9 Death Adder
/way 28.7 75.4 Spineclaw Crab
/way 64.0 70.6 Gulp Froglet
/way 25.5 29.2 Jademist Dancer
/way 43.6 40.7 Jadefire/Ominous
/way 41.1 81.2 Gu'chi Swarmling

*NOTE: This list does NOT include:
- Rare spawns that do not drop pets.
- Azure Crane Chick - he is rare loot from nests found around trees.
- Bonkers - he is found in the chests you use Timeless Coins to open.
- (the names in the list are of the pets, not the rare mobs they drop from)

- Please refer to my previous post, http://www.wowhead.com/npc=73532#comments:id=1895463 to learn how to catch the Dandelion Frolicker, as the co-ords can be very misleading.

Also, please note:
Ominous Flame pets drop from the Foreboding Flames that spawn inside the Spirit Cave
Jadefire Spirit pets drop from the Spirit of Jadefire, which is a rare spawn in the same cave.
Jademist Dancers drop from the Jademist Dancer mobs.
And some of these mobs do pat, so try to be aware of their pathing. These markers just make running laps a little easier. :)

Happy Hunting!

Playing on an extremely dead realm I can confirm that the rare that drops this pet is bound to a spawn timer. Very late at night the realm is empty, with me and a few sub-90 randoms online.

I've /who'd on both factions to check whether there was any competition present on the island. Two nights at which there wasn't any for hours I've done the following:

Sit by the Alliance camp and kill Death Adders and Ancient Spineclaws while waiting for BG queues to pop.
Avoid killing these completely for several hours and then kill some at the same spot.

Conclusion is that, while the first method would include me getting a lot more kills, didn't prove to be any more successful than the second. With near certainty I can prove neither of these mobs have been slain for more than two hours, I killed one of each mob once again, to find their rare version respawn a few minutes after.

This information may be worthless to populated realms, other than that killing a ton of these mobs shortly after you have seen the rare version is futile. Happy camping/farming!

Buying this companion (or any others from the Isle) does not count to Going To Need A Bigger Bag

You have to loot them.

Currently, this pet is pretty broken in PVP, but I discovered a strange counter.

My Gilnean Raven (and I assume this would work fine with other flyers with the same moves) was still able to hit through the blinding poison with Nocturnal Strike with the Call Darkness weather active.

This strikes me as odd because Nocturnal Strike's hit chance does of course go to 100% with dark weather, but normally, it's chance should be 90% with the Gilnean Raven because the pet is affected by the weather's -10% hit itself.

I'll blame some funky math in the coding, but abuse this weakness while you can.

Wait, the giant death adders don't drop them? I've been ruthlessly massacring and skinning them for hours.

Comment by xoMishka

I spent several hours last night running around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to find these rare mobs/drops. So today I made myself a little guide to make my pet hunting smoother.

This is listed in order going clockwise from Huojin Landing:

Jademist Dancer - (25.5, 29.2) These drop from their big brothers and sisters. I like to clear them out and then run over to the crane nests and make a round while the Dancers are respawning.

Azure Crane Chick - (33.0, 42.5) These are looted from crane nests. They are found under trees all around the Celestial Tournament. Look for a cluster of several small chicks under trees, that's where you'll find nests.

Skywisp Moth - (Need Highwind Albatross) These are wild pets you can obtain by pet battling. Many of them are on high cliffs that are unreachable since we can't fly here. See Cielos's explanation on how to get up there.

Jadefire Spirit - (43.6, 40.7) (Cavern of Lost Spirits) These drop from the rare elite Spirit of Jadefire. He spawns randomly in different parts of the cave. The spawn time ranges from 30-60 minutes.

Ominous Flame - (43.6, 40.7) These drop from the Foreboding Flame mobs inside the cave, the same cave where the Jadefire Spirit drops.

Ashwing Moth - (East & South of Celestial Tournament) These are just normal wild pets that are caught by pet battling.

Bonkers - (58.0, 42.2) Inside the cave you will find Master Kukuru who will sell you a key for 500 Timeless Coins. Bonkers can be looted from the chests.

Flamering Moth - (Blazing Way & Timewalker Ruins) This is a wild pet that can be captured by pet battling. Seems like it's almost always a secondary pet to an Ashwing Moth or a Skywisp Moth.

Gulp Froglet - (64.0, 70.6) These drop from the rare elite Bufo. Bufo spawns approximately every 30-60 minutes. Killing the frogs in the area does absolutely nothing.

Dandelion Frolicker - (45.6, 72.9) These drop from the friendly Nice Sprites you see surrounding the trees with orange crystals on them. You "use" the purple crystals nearby to turn them into Scary Sprites so you can kill them. The purple crystals are on a spawn timer, so if you don't see them it's because they're not up yet. If you're standing near the tree, you'll see the purple crystal if it's up. (see mel9525's instructions)

Gu'chi Swarmling - (41.1, 81.2) These drop from the rare elite Gu'chi the Swarmbringer. He spawns at the south-east edge of Old Pi'jiu Village by the water then paths counter-clockwise around the village until he reaches the shore again. His spawn timer is approximately 30-60 minutes.

Skunky Alemental - (36.9, 76.5) These drop from the rare elite Zhu-Gon the Sour. Apparently he spawns with the "Skunky Brew" event that occurs every 30-60 minutes. (see defektunge's explanation)

Ashleaf Spriteling - (67.3, 44.1) These drop from the rare elite Leafmender. Follow the path from south of the Celestial Tournament all the way around to get here. He spawns under a tree at the top of the hill on the left hand side with a bunch of his little sprite friends. His spawn timer is approximately 30-60 minutes, but if he is killed and not looted it throws the timer off by about 30-45 minutes.

Ruby Droplet - (64.5, 27.1) These drop from the rare elite Garnia at the ruby lake. (see elfomal's instructions to get there) The spawn timer is approximately 30 minutes, but make sure you loot the body so it despawns otherwise it will take an extra 30 minutes.

Death Adder Hatchling - (31.0, 68.0) These drop from the rare elite Imperial Python. My understanding is that it will spawn in the place of a dead Death Adder. Focus on the south-west where they are more closely clustered together. (see Jaladar's method)

Spineclaw Crab - (28.7, 75.4) These drop from the rare elite Monstrous Spineclaw. For more information, check out Heathmonn's very detailed instructions.

Please let me know if the information I provided was inaccurate or if there is anything you feel should be added/removed. Thank you and go catch 'em all!

Just in case no one has made this clear, this can drop on the second and subsequent kills of the day. I got mine on my 4th or 5th kill as I did circles around the island between battlegrounds.

Going To Need A Bigger Bag, this was the hardest achievement in Mists of Pandaria.
I got this on the last day of the expansion: 14 December in 2011.
For this achievement I've spend a total of 4 mounths playing 4 hours a day.
This achievement is hardest cause do you need loot rare items from rare mobs.
Even the rares having 30 to 60 minutes spawn the problem here is cause those rares has low hp and die fast, making you lose then.

Another factor that make this achievement hard, is because the items needed has low drop chance.
For example the Reins of the Thundering Onyx Cloud Serpent, this mount has 0.9% drop chance, and was my last item for conclud the achievement.
I've spend a total of 400 trys to loot this mount.

My strategy for don't lose my mind while doing this insane grind was watching one piece while the Huolon doesnt spawn.
The addon called Rare Coordinator was great to track the rare spawn times, but I guess it's doesnt work on Dragonflight, cause you need other players to tracking with you.

Don't forget to use move speed items and teleport to reach rares faster.

The current reset timer for Timeless Isle appears to be 15-minutes. This means if the zone has been empty for that amount time, that particular shard/layer will reset the moment you reenter the zone. This can be a highly effective method for farming rares for Going To Need A Bigger Bag, opposed to the traditional camping method of every 30-60 minutes, especially on RP servers, War Mode and Chromie Time groups.

This is probably coincidence, but I bought the pet off Auction House so it didnt count for the achievement.
I had nearly 100 kills with no drops, so I "Put in Cage" the one from my pet journal and got a drop after 3 kills...
