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

Kommentar von 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).

Kommentar von 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.

Kommentar von 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.

Kommentar von 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.

Kommentar von 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.

Kommentar von 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.

Kommentar von 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.

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

Kommentar von 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!

Trinkhorn der Vrykul
Bürgi Schwarzherzens Hübscher Hut

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 Trinkhorn der Vrykul, 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.

Kommentar von 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.

Kommentar von Jollef

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

Kommentar von Dragoonman

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

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: Formel: Armschiene - Erhebliche Stärke, Formel: Armschiene - Beweglichkeit, Formel: Armschiene - Mächtige Intelligenz. 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.

Kommentar von 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.

Kommentar von 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!

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.

Kommentar von 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.

Kommentar von 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.

Kommentar von 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.

Kommentar von 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.

Kommentar von 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.

Kommentar von 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.

Kommentar von joebowen

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.

Looted:

Reins of Poseidus
Pattern: Reckless Hessonite
Morrie's Waywalker Wrap

"Buyout price: 100g"
I wish

Kommentar von 1016929

well m8, just blame on me. i just got this for 100g in my server. i guess im the lucky one.

Kommentar von Navara

Outside Vashjir, this mount is 108% speed, the same as Sea Turtle.

However, compared to the turtle, he cannot escape from the water, making him inferior to the Sea Turtle.
He's also inferior to Subdued Abyssal Seahorse, being "100%" slower.
