Factions You will farm for Loot Info The Captured Firefly item summons and dismisses Firefly, a firefly companion that follows you around, meaning it is a non-combat pet and will not aid you in battle. The drop rate of this pet is roughly 0.1% (one in every thousand kills) and takes an incredible amount of patience and determination in order to get one. Due to the difficulty of obtaining one, and thus their rarity, they can sell for fairly large amounts of gold on the Auction House, at least as far as pets are concerned. Profile info You can also use this profile for 62 to 65 leveling Recomended Addon Lootfilter (source:Loot Filter) Have Fun!
Believe me, I feel your pain. I've hunted this particular pet by hand on a number of occasions. Part of the problem is there aren't a whole lot of mobs that drop it. Don't even get me started on how pathetic Bliz's Random Number Generator is wrt/computer science. A lot of people misunderstand drop percentages, also. You have the same 1/1000 chance of getting the mob on your first drop as you do your subsequent ones. The way the math works, you can wind up doing much more than 1000 kills to get it. A really good explanation of statistic weirdness and how it relates to pet farming is available here. cheers, CJ
yeah im well over 1000 kills. It's weird though ive gotten the pet in zg like 100 times yet any other pet? forget it.
lol it dropped 2 times for me now, the first took me 8 hours of grinding, but when i did it the second time, i started the rofile and after 4 kills i got it
got one after 48 hours. and then i got 4 within 8 hours after that. Ty blizz but still not worth my time for only 1-2k/ pop.
This looks fun. Giving it a run right now. Started about 1.5 hours ago and no firefly yet but have dropped six greens and a blue item so far Will update progress later. Thanks for the profile. It's working wonderful Using HB 1.9.6.2827 Level 64 Pally with Mordd's Convalesce CC
Funny how things work out sometimes. I've been sitting here watching the loot as this profile runs while I am reading the forums and doing some other things for 2.5 hours and no firefly. Then I get up to go get a refill on my drink and I'm gone for 5 minutes and come back and there it is....Captured Firelfy...just looted it as I was sitting back down LOL Yay
Thanks mate! Got me from lvl 62 to 66 and i got 3 fireflies =) sold one for 1800g =) got 2 to spare.. selling the other 2 from other char(s) =)
Leveled 2 Toons here from 60-65 and got 4 Fireflys so far. Sold one for 2k Gold and uses the others for my chars and friends. How much Gold do you get on your Realms ?
Not kidding but i got my first one after 10 min And then had a auction with my guild on the guild chat. 1, 2, 3 sold to xxx for 1750 gold. Cant complain!
