Found along the north side of Serpent Lake.

These respawn fast enough that by the time you get to one end of the lake, the other side will have respawned.

Kommentar von Wakako

Found out something cool about these guys.........

They drop a Non Combat Pet!!!! its a firefly pretty cool huh.!

They cast a magic debuff on you called "Lambent Blood" which lasts for 1 minute, disables stealth, increases damage taken by 10%, and increases strength by 10%.

The map above can be a little missleading. The 56 gold dots are not actual spawn points, just were players interacted with this mob.

There are only 23 or 24 actual needlers on the map and they have a fast respawn time. By the time you have cleared the left side, the right side has all respawned as stated above.

The clump of dots to the south of the naga camp is veiwed by most players who farm here as a waste of time. There are only 2 or 3 needlers that spawn here, but in the time it takes to reach them you could have killed 2 or 3 heading back to the left.

With 3 people farming them and a slight increase in spawn rate due to player numbers, there isn't much trouble finding needlers to kill.

As a hunter, these guys annoy me simply because they don't show up on track.

Kommentar von Addfwyn

These also have a very small chance to drop the Firefly vanity pet, something I've been farming for with little luck.

The drop rate seems to be around 1 in 1,500 based on assorted samples, good luck if you want one.

If only there were a Beast species that included these. They'd make a really awesome Hunter pet.

Look like a Firefly sting like a wasp! im sorry i just couldent get that out of my head :) especialy since its true...

I have grinded for all the whelps before, so I know the commitment required to "grind" this pet out of the odds the loot table would finally release this pet into my loot window. This was by far the most difficult pet I have had to grind for. I leveled from 68 to 5 bars short of level 71 on just Bogflare Needler xp alone. I used a route, that included all spawns, and once I got my Druid flight form, it made crossing the lake all the more reasonable to go after the two spawn areas by the Nagas.

The two weeks prior to the release of the Wrath of the Lich King expansion, the competition for the Bogflare Needler mobs was pretty stiff. Ground bound, I had no chance against people with their epic flying brooms. Later, after the release of the expansion the traffic in Zangarmarsh is pretty sparse, but it still nagged at my consious while I was grinding away, those few that fell to passersby, "was that the one with my Captured Firefly?"

It took almost 4 weeks, daily workday averages of 120-300 Bogflare Needlers per evening depending on competing with others. Weekend marathon sessions pushed 500 Bogflare Needlers on average. I was mentally preparing myself for the Christmans vacation of 2 weeks off from work to dedicate towards this pet, if thats what it was going to take. I looted two blue items in the process, along with 42 green items. The junk loot funded my first two guild bank tabs.

The experience was frustrating, but blind stubborness paid off in the end.

I was lucky enough to get a firefly drop on my 2nd day. I killed 250 some the first day and 50 the second, and by god. It dropped...So have hope, fellow farmers!

It was the best gift ever to give a friend :)

Grabbed a firefly after 4 kills >.< luck of the draw.

Kommentar von 348086

Pretty Neat...but still no pet :(

Kommentar von 133834

I'm amazed that no one has mentioned taming one of these just to name it "Serenity". I know that's the first thing that went through my head when I heard about the firefly pet.

Kommentar von 480821

I was lucky enough to grab a firefly pet in about 20-30 minutes.

Yes, I realise how lucky I am.

No you can't have it. It's mine :P

Kommentar von 415293

This is the only bumblebee pet other than the ones in Underbog.

Kommentar von 278567

i hate these things xD

dunno how many i have killed, but i have gotten all the rare items they can dropped, even got the axe twice....
still no pet :(

guess im just unlucky..

Happy farming !

Edit:

just got the pet :D a week of 6 hours of farming every day ^^
was it worth it?: hell yeah xD
was it fun to farm the last 6 days and 5.9 hours?: hell no xD

Happy farming guys, nice pet :)

Kommentar von Micathius

Got it after about 45 minutes worth of farming. No one else to be seen, and I'm debating on trying to get a couple more to sell off.

Kommentar von 324662

Just got mine at 53,33. Have been farming this for over 3 hours and for 6months on and off. It was worth the time and effort put into it. If you really want this bugger don't give up it does drop just takes time.

Kommentar von Lindentree

Consider grinding this while you're at less than Friendly rep with Sporeggar. The Needler spawns are crawling with Glowcaps.

Kommentar von Lurtzello

Sadly I've farmed these mobs for several days without success... I don't think that an increse of the drop rate is the case here...

Kommentar von am19v

I got this after 33 mins of farming around Serpent Lake; had to kill 21 Bogflare Needlers. I did however stop a few times to fish the floating wreckage ( i get such a kick out of those) so, really it didnt take me quite that long. Good luck to all still in search of this firefly!

Kommentar von Jaedo

I farmed this for 52 minutes, killed around 110 needlers and saw it drop. If anyone is as discouraged as I was after reading all these comments, it's not always the case. You may get lucky and get it quick! Happy farming!

Kommentar von Thottbot

Apparently these guys can drop Captured Firefly-a non-combat pet.

Kommentar von Thottbot

the correct term for these kinds of pets is indeed "non-combat" pets. Or vanity pets if you prefer. So, double =P to you.

Kommentar von Thottbot

The "Pet" u can get looks damm Cool:P

Kommentar von Thottbot

can anyone verify how far these guys will get you in cenarion rep?

Kommentar von Thottbot

well it took me about 2 days and i finely got one after about 460 kills

Kommentar von Thottbot

I was mounting up and one attacked me.. I dismounted, killed it, looted it, and found one of these lil buggers. Sold it for 800g
The monsters themselves give 5 rep to the Cenarion Expedition. They can be found north of the Coilfang Resevoir. I killed about 100 more to find another, no luck.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I am not seeing that these baddies provide any rep for any faction. Is there a limit or something like that? Or did they nerf the ability to get rep from the Bogflare Needlers in a recent update? I've spent about 6 hours killing these suckers to obtain a captured firefly and so far no go.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I'm at honored with CE and these do nothing for my rep.

Kommentar von Thottbot

So I never told myself I was going to try to get the Captured Firefly.... I just got done reading about it to see what actually dropped it. Well so Im running to do a quest and I see the bee that drops it. Remember I told myself I would not waste time killing them to get it. Well I said to the heck with it at least ill get exp. Well my first kill it dropped one... And to top it off I got a Shadow Pearl 30 min before that.... So I believe in all of you. You can get it...

Kommentar von Thottbot

I'm honored already so I can't confirm the CE rep on these guys. On the Wowwiki CE rep page http://www.wowwiki.com/Cenarion_Expedition it shows CE rep (outside an instance) for just the nagas and they stop once you hit friendly.
Over 3000 kills so far and drop yet :(

Kommentar von Thottbot

Got it after a few kills (10/15?) according to the latest comments it looks easier now.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Oops, wrong Firefly. Well, I got one after killing all but one bug around the edge of the lake.... the third time I tried, but not spending hours killing.

Sold it for 1500g post-LK - couple more coins towards the motorcycle ;)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Got it after 15 kills ;)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Breastplate of Blade Turning, and a bunch of greys and plant parts I don't even take. No firefly though.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Two kills. Got my firefly

Kommentar von Allakhazam

i saw one of the fireflies on the AH and set out to farm one for myself, well, i had no idea the grind i was in for...but i finally got one to drop.

2399th kill captured firefly

60 random greens

3 eternium lock boxes

1 random blue...headress of the sleeper

so anyone who is in for the long haul, be prepared to spend some time grinding! but to be the 22nd person on all servers with one was well worth it!

happy hunting!
