Curious if the other faction can see the message.

Comment by Derichian

I wonder just how many characters we can use in the Message. 20? 40? 120?

Hopefully enough to type:

Never gonna give you up,
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry,
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.

Well.. It does say WARNING sign.

WARNING: There's a rogue behind you.

"Watch out for the sni-"

For maximum effect, place in front of a skeleton on the ground.

And while someone of the opposing faction stands their, scratching their head in confusion, that's when you pop out of Camouflage and burst them to pieces.

I see great potential for this thing.

It is not a scrap board that you can write or draw anything on it.
Here is the deal;
-You use the item.
-You kneel down infront of the item on the ground. (Item is not visible to others yet)
-Then you will be able to choose one of the options that listed on the dialog box.
-After that item will be visible.

There are tons of options on that dialog box tho, like;
-cliff ahead
-alliance ahead
-Deadly trap
-Need damage dealer, healer, tank.
-Need friends
-Tears
And so on.

After you choose one of them, item's name will be the option. So you will be putting a warning sign, that named after your chosen option.
Name text is a bit little, but when you mouse over the sign, you can see the item's name from the tooltip window.

Beware of Fatty

Comment by MordredAlixander

This and several other things definitely contribute a Dark Souls vibe.
Signs you can place with pre-set messages warning people, or misleading them.
Monsters that can utterly destroy you in one hit without proper timing and movement.
Red spirits that can come and kick your teeth in if you open yourself to PvP.

Definitely helps to partake in some jolly co-operation if you decide to tackle some of the more demanding tasks of the island...

Praise the Sun!

It's the WoW version of the classic Oregon Trail gravestone.
Perfect for after you die of dysentery or, more likely, get sacrificed to Ordos.

Comment by Longeria
Horrible drop rate, so much fun to wait ages for that dude and then so disappointed that it does not drop again.

Comment by willturnbad
Jakur of Ordon is, but I am certain that it is lower than the 1% shown in loot drop table. More people should use wowhead looter to update drop percentages. I have seen people farm Jakur every 30-60 minutes, round the clock and not get the drop. I personally have logged 170 kills since 6.0.3 went live. And that doesn't counts all of the jakur kills i put in on my 7- 90 level toons, during the timeless isle/siege of oggrimar expansion. I would guess, that my kills have left me in the ballpark of 0 drops in 300 kills. Celebrate if you get one and plant signs all over your garrisons front door.. I stopped trying to farm him for the toy when i need to get my 7th 90 rolling up. I end with 189kills, no toy. My best guses from chatting with those that did get it the drop rate appears to be 1 drop in 300 kills, which puts it in the range of .03 % drop rate.
happy farming, getting exalted with emperor shao should come easy if you farm for the warning sigh toy.

I just was talking to a gm, and he said it you can only loot timeless isle rares once a day now. I took a screen shot of the conversation. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CBXwX9oVEAEbOYC.jpg:large

dont know if I believe him. Not that he was lying on purpose, but i dont think he really knew. Wouldnt this be a pretty big change that would be posted somewhere?

Comment by Clinh
Got my Warning Sign today after farming Jakur for a few days. Took about 50 kills to get it but he only spawns every 35-60 minutes so takes a while. Go do something else for 30 minutes after each kill and you'll be Ok, average spawn was about 45 minutes.

Comment by Factum
Finally got it! 262 kills! Don't give up! Only missing the Crab now! Only 15 kills though.... time to get more serious! ;)

Comment by glowien
I finally got it today. FINALLY! It took 348 kills.

Comment by Wuod
Finally got it after 250+ kills (total time farmed ~115 hours). Like most other rares on timeless isle he has a respawn of 30-60 min.Thus you can safely go do your own things for 30 min after the kill - you will not miss him. The next 1-30 min are however key to farming. A timer works great for this. Here are some tricks to increase the odds of getting the toy:

1. Get a rare tracking addon and turn on "sound in backround" option. His vignette (marker on minimap) spawns about 30 seconds before him, so you can just have your farm character window run on the backround, and only react to loud noise from the addon. If you're only after him - you can also turn off other rare notifications (there are 5 that spawn nearby and will trigger the addon otherwise).

2. Warmode and non-warmode spawns are completely independant. However different servers are sometimes not - current instancing will try to minimize map instances by putting characters from multiple servers on a single map. Good for server load, not so good for farming - more competition. Thus you can have 2 independant characters farm it at the same time. There is a downside for this method - sometimes his spawn window will happen at the same time, and becomes tricky to navigate (switching characters every 2 minutes is annoying and will lose you some kills due to other people farming).

3. A same-account two characters logged in at once trick. If you kick out your character by logging in on the same account but with a different client - the old one will stay in the world for about a minute. You can leverage this behaviour by having 2 clients with 2 characters:

log in on character 1, create a lfg group
log in on second client with character 2, get an invite to that group
log in on character 1, invite character 2
log in on character 2, accept invite - this should result in a group of 2 characters with one of them being offline
stay on character 2, wait for Jakur's vignette spawn (see 1)
as soon as you hear Jakur vignette spawn, log in on character 1 and kill/loot him - if you've done everything correctly (and have fast load times - ssd helps a lot), you'll have character 2 still in the world, and he'll get kill credit
get on character 2 and loot - must be swift, his corpse despawns very fast even with loot inside, you have about 30-40s

This way you've effectively doubled your gain from a single kill (that's how I got it in 115 hours instead of 200+). You could probably scale it to 3 chracters, but that'll be even trickier. I'd suggest using this with warmode off - there are usually less people camping, and you won't get ganked.

4. There will be other people nearby, and some will be waiting for him. Be polite and invite them, and share what you know on respawn times. You'll save both your and their time if noone's trying to snipe. Also, you only need to tag him to get loot - if you can, try doing it without instantly killing, and letting other people to tag.

GL with your toy/achieve

Comment by Sharpbladez
Just want to confirm you CAN obtain this from a trial character. After 300+ kills, I finally got it.

Comment by Oxyia
Can anyone confirm that this mob can be looted more than once a day? ie. is there anyone who got the toy on the second kill onwards in a given day?

EDIT: Dropped for me after 126 attempts in total, and i was on the 5th attempt of the day on the same toon. Therefore it can 100% be looted multiple times a day for those still wondering, as of 8.3

Comment by cytrus16
Some informations:

The rare spawns usually at 40 or 60 minutes after kill (in some cases ~30 minutes) - so keep track of the kill!

Use addon 'Rarespawn' - to inform You if he shows up (as after the 'rare star' shows up on the map, he then takes ~20 sec to actually to show up)

The drop chance must be really low (or I'm just unlucky), as I've got it at 309th kill.

And it was pretty wierd - I was camping him on both my accounts, as soon as he spawned - I killed him - and the somehow the toy dropped for both of them (separate loot).

Comment by biggaz13
Still drops in 9.1.5. Poor drop rate. Not sure how many times I killed this Rare back in day? However 76 kills over the past week.
Timer is anywhere between 33 to 65 minutes. Sometimes I would just camp there and ensure the addon Silver Dragon was on. An alarm goes off when something nearby spawns. Although you will get lots of false warnings with the nearby Rares & Evermaw when he swims by

Other times I just parked an Alt there and logged in. Occasionally it was just sitting there waiting to be hit. Not many people in the area just before the release of 9.2

Happy toy hunting

Comment by Sipder2
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.

Comment by khorgaz
Got it after 84 tries. This is not to bad to farm, if you just put two characters at the spawn (one with WM on, other with WM off) and check occasionally; no need to camp this guy, unless you are in a hurry – but why would you be?

Comment by Cuffouis
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.
