Does anyone know if Ironback is still in game? I've been trying to camp him for a pet on my hunter for about a week now... and I haven't seen him yet. Not even a corpse =/

Kommentar von someguymc

Killed him today and got some plate leggings with +46 AP. Didnt know what he was yet just decided he was easy to kill being 51.

Kommentar von 35068

I killed him at 45 by using fear spam, it just took a long time.

Kommentar von 43020

Yep, very much in game. Just killed it as we speak. Dropped a lousy +ice damage bracer :P Nice to find though, love them rare elites :D

Kommentar von feck

He is still around. I had just finished Lard's Lunch (https://www.cuckhead.com/cata/quest=7840), and as I was swimming back to shore, Ironback snuck up on me from behind by the waterfall (82,46). Bonus mob I reckon.

Kommentar von namais

I just killed Ironback on Frostmane EU Server. On lvl 47 Druid. Took him down with no problems.

My Cords was 74, 87 and he seemed to walk in a small circle on that spot. So maby you will find him there next time you look for him.

Kommentar von 71107

Bumped into him at 78,64.

Kommentar von Zettaraid

found him at 82, 47. He has a nice number of drops. Kill him if you see him, it'll be good for either you or your wallet.

Kommentar von TwistingPlanets

Is he an aggressive beast? It would make it a lot easier to track for him if I knew. Make him stand out from all the other passive turtles about.

Kommentar von 94623

Found him at 73,90. As alliance, I had to ride through the horde village to get there.

Kommentar von 237354

Do anyone know how long his respawn time is?

Kommentar von mrbag

man i got lucky on him found him on my first lookin spot between 81.3,48.3 and 82.5,46.1 it was an accident though i fell of the cliff (i was looking for him along the cliffline) and i landed on top of him,wasnt ready and he killed me but i tamed him on my second try

Kommentar von 321380

barely soloed as a level 45 pally. it was awesome. I nearly died 3 times. only survived by having some mana left, but forgot to put on blessing of wisdom before the fight, so that lowered my restoring rate. it sucked. oh well. he dropped turtle meat, a thick scaly tail, a big mouth clam, and a wanderers cloak of something. really bad loot for a rare spawn.

Kommentar von healingenzo

Just logged & he was there 5 feet away. Had to tame as I always try to tame named beasts. Already had Takk.

The point isn't the look, it's the collectability. That's why my (then) 80 tamed The Beast, from UBRS. Looks like any red core hound - he used to keep the "Boss" tag & level ? until 4.0 when they took it away. It's about finding the hardest pet to tame & taming them.

Kommentar von Rphilly

Oh my gosh, i was about to tame him and some jerk came and killed him for no reason..

Kommentar von IMissThottbot

Ironback is a great example of how WoW lighting affects some models entirely differently.

In daylight, in orange/yellow sunlight, he is a plain gray with some pink--nothing really striking.

At night, though, he is a solid light smoky aqua-gray, with the faintest hint of purple around the shell--really gorgeous. His eyes glow dark purple. He looks like a ghost at night, very nice!

Kommentar von Ellinna

I was doing the quest Snapjaws, Mon! and in the midst of me killing a turtle around the tent, he spawned. I had searched for him on other characters, so you could only imagine my excitement when he spawned for me. Luckily I had beat another fellow questing nearby. :) He dropped a green, two grey items, and a piece of turtle meat for me.

Kommentar von Thottbot

On my hunter alt i picked him up and right now have him at level 54 and he has better stats then some level 60 pets i seen walking around. I will give you his stats he has now when he is "happy". Once i get him to level 60 i will let you all know what the end stats are like.

str: 122
agi: 89
stam: 226
int: 45
spir: 72

Attack: 270
Power: 224
Damage: 72-91 (2.00 speed)
Defense: 270
Armor: 3663

He Also comes with Bite (rank 7).

Kommentar von Thottbot

To the above poster, the stats you posted are the same stats for any turtle at level 54. Nothing special about this turtle and it certainly isn't the best solo pet in the game.

For all you hunters out there that may be thinking about training this turtle, don't waste your time as you can pick up any generic turtle and get the same stats. The only distinction about this turtle is he is the highest level turtle with this particular skin, all the other turtles with this skin are lvl 36-42. So if you are a high level hunter and absolutely must have a turtle that looks like this, then it might be worth your time to camp for Ironback as opposed to grinding up a lower level turtle. Other than that you're better off training one of the many other turtles in the area...

Kommentar von Thottbot

Ironback is a good pet with quite a cool skin. A pain to get, since it takes so long to respawn, but with armor boost my Ironback has 6646 armor. This has proven invaluable time and time again, and makes it a great little tanking pet.

Probably not everyones first choice, but in my eyes an underappreciated gem.

Kommentar von Thottbot

for This turtles respawn?

Kommentar von Thottbot

Ironback can be found walking the shore from one end to the other, outside of Reventusk village in the hinterlands. his pattern is easy to follow and hes a 52 Rare. best to assume hed be as difficult to tame or kill as an elite of 3 lvls lower since ive never seen defense this high on a tamable turtle. and he has a bite of "7" which is 1 higher than anything else ive seen so far. hope this bitbit helps. ^_^

Kommentar von Thottbot

I decided to kill it to see if it dropped anything special... but I ended up dead.

This was with my 45 Shaman, I was actually killing it, but unfortunately the level 49 elite decided to come by when I had it down to less than 300 HP...

I then came here to look at the loot list and it appears he doesn't drop anything that great.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Regarding the whole dispute over whether Ironback drops "Lei of Lilies". I looked up the item and it drops from mobs between lvl 47 and 53 and Ironback is level 51, so it is a possibility...

Kommentar von Thottbot

I found him South of Revantusk Village at 74,88. Killed him b/c I prefer boars. Dropped some lvl 47 Plate boots: "Heavy Lamellar Boots of the Tiger"

Kommentar von Thottbot

I found him today at the base of the Waterfall. Dropped a Green Cape with 2 Stam and 11 Agi. I am a Lvl 48 Hunter and i had no probs

Kommentar von Thottbot

Haha, I did the same thing just now on my 42 lock with CoE. I thought putting a few DoT's on him might make him mine even if the guards killed him but nope, still unlootable.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Found him south of horde village while collecting bottles. Long battle..but got him down. Long enough to use "Beastial Wrath" twice, and four traps!

But, I'll be going back once I hit 52 to learn Bite 7.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I've been grinding this beach for about a week-and-a-half, 1-2 hours per day -- never came across him.

Logged in this morning EARLY (4:30 EST) and there he was. Dropped lords pauldrons of the bear and other typical turle loot.

If you're searching for him, off-peak play times may be your best bet.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I don't know about "odd" times. My 48 lock was grinding turtles at 8pm server time and there he was. First time I ever saw him, and my skinner was there plenty for the turtle scales :) Dropped some lvl 47 plate boots.

Kommentar von Thottbot

teach a turtle growl and you have the perfect tank but thats about it...

Kommentar von Thottbot

i just want to get a turtle to 70 for some reason and give it natural armor rank 11 (1600) and turtles have the most armor plus the take 50% less dmg shield ability my raptor with only rank 10 armor (1000) has almost 12k armor

Kommentar von Thottbot

This is the only pet to get if you have trouble getting shield wall, and either keeping this pet or teaching shield wall to your other turtle. If the pet doesnt have it straight away other people say that it activates it you get your pet lower than 25% health, then the pet uses it and then you can teach it to your other turtle if you want. Note also that this is the best tank pet, you can leave it fighting a monster while you casually skin a corpse or or sort through your inventory.

Kommentar von Thottbot

been looking for a month or so for this turtle, i know nothing super special about him but he's pretty is there a spawn time for him or is it just random anyone know? I really want this turtle.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I just got ironback hes on southside or town. It only took me about 24 hours of searching to get! I got him at 1pm on auch. Also I named him DSLlover. lol great name for any turtle!

Kommentar von Thottbot

found him south of village twice and once north killed him twice tamed him once best tame to date. trained up he beat goomba from bfd same lvl hands down dont know y that was but now i have a new questing world tank pet. he rocks it out hard all three time found after sever daily update 2:30 am echo isles

Kommentar von Thottbot

Easily killed him with my level 46 priest. He dropped some green mail shoulders.

Kommentar von Thottbot

he wont turn up! i have been patrolling the beach for 5 hours! still cant find him

Kommentar von Thottbot

this guy sucksn nuts compared to my devilsaur...my devilsaur is only lvl 54 and this guy is lvl 54 and as soon as i taimed the devilsaur...i noticed that i didnt get the agro...he didnt die..and he does 10 times more damge then the turtle thing..and he loooks cooler and has better stats..only down side is you have to be lvl 60 bm hunter to get the devilsaur..well good luck to everybody out there =D

Kommentar von Thottbot

I found him after 50 minutes of running and swimming around on the beach and found him south of the Revantusk Village at the end of the shore line.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I just saw him for the first time at 1015pm, server time and killed him =) I have been grinding these turtles for the past 3 nights for scales and this is the first time I have seen him. He dropped typical greys and whites for the area and 1 green-spaulders of the whale. Easy kill @lvl 48 w/boar

Kommentar von Thottbot

i soloed him as a 44 hunter.. put down a explosion trap just in case wakkammo (gorrila) loses aggro.. which is very unlikely. he lost aggro.. ironback steps into the explosion trap but my gorrila quickly got his aggro back.. ironback acutally isnt tht hard. do all ur basic hunter moves.. ( i did volley and it isnt tht hard.. dont try if ur pet cant hold aggro for its life.

btw: he dropped a lords crown of the monkey.. it was better than mine but its 46. 2 more lvls to go!
:-D

If u find him GL kiling him

Kommentar von Thottbot

I'm shaking my head as I read comments about the turtle being a bad solo pet. I lvled my hunter alt to 80 with this guy and if you spec him for survivability and grab that extra taunt talent you're good to go. He doesn't do a whole lot of dmg, but he can tank groups like a champ and keep on trucking. As long as you toss a heal up on him now and then he'll never die. In regards to the person who preferred a devilsaur, I have one as well and I've had much more success questing with the turtle. To each his own I guess.

He doesn't do much for DPS so I never thought I'd use him for raiding, but tonight we were in a pinch in naxx so I used him to OT the back for 4 horsemen. There was a resto druid healer switching back and forth with me who tossed a hot or two on him passing by but I kept him up mostly with mend pet. He never dropped below 80%. The druid sent me a tell afterwards and said he'd barely had to heal him. Bad tanking pet you say? Sounds like awesome-sauce to me.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Found him at 74,88. For those of you without coords it's just south of Revantusk Village in Hinterlands. He was right on the shoreline.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Found this rare turtle within 5 mins of looking :).. Located just south of the horde village, by the shoreline. Didn't kill him as i want him for my pet.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Let the epic search for Ironback begin!

As I recovered from the shock with six legged crocolisks, I decided to head to The Hinterlands (even I was dead tired).

I hc'd to Dalaran, took a portal to Undercity and flew to The Hinterlands.
Since I didn't see a scale from Ripscale, I was a bit worried when will Ironback spawn. I also like Cranky Benj's color, so if I won't get lucky with Ironback, I'll go after Benj-Benj.

I've seen Ironback once before, he was right under the waterfall, so I mounted up and headed there spamming my macro.

Well, I wasn't lucky with Ironback. I rode back and for several times along the coast, spamming my macro. Didn't see him.

So, my epic adventure for ultimate tanking pet shall continue!
If you wish to read more, then go to see Cranky Benj! <:

Kommentar von Allakhazam

just found him for the first time after spending about 50 gaming hours on the shores farming turtles. This guy will be hard to find because so many people farm turtles for money and pearls. He dropped a crappy 44 green mail helm of defense for me and a clam, but the clam had a golden pearl in it! =) I wonder if the clams he drop have more pearls than others?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

>>> Nothing special dropped, just a lousy green. <<<

A rare mob that drops green 94% of the time and you are compaining?

The real value in Ironback is as a hunters pet, he has higher than normal health. Combined with the turtles natural high armor, and this is the best pet meelee tank in the game.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Well, I’m disappointed, I’m not too sure if it’s the new changes coming with the 1.7 patch or if it was always this way (given the fact that before this, no one ever posted his stats), but it seems as if this elite turtle’s stats are identical to those of my Snapjaw I’ve had for about 27 levels. Allow me to explain:

Since this poor turtle was being hunting almost 24/7 on my normal server, I decided to take advantage of the almost ghost town status of the test servers, testing the new 1.7 patch. Sure enough, he was there and I was able to set an ice trap and tame him without problems (level 51). I had originally wanted to compare him with my Snapjaw (originally a level 30ish turtle found in many locations – got mine from Alterac).

However, my Snapjaw is now 53 and the stats would obviously be one-sided. So I leveled Ironback to the appropriate level and imagine my disappointment when I found out that good old regular Snapjaw at this level was the same as Ironback. Again, I’m not sure if this has anything to do with the 1.7 patch and pet improvements, but I can tell you right now that it’s a fact, the stats are virtually the same (at least the same as my level 53 Snapjaw).

If anyone else would like to reference their own turtle, here are the official numbers at both 51 and 52 (test server with patch 1.7 active):

Ironback – Level 51

Strength: 115
Agility: 84
Stamina: 212
Intellect: 44
Sprit: 68

Attack/Defense: 255
Power: 210
Damage: 78-98
Attack Speed: 2.00
DPS: 44.0
Armor: 3477

Ironback – Level 52

Strength: 117
Agility: 85
Stamina: 216
Intellect: 44
Sprit: 69

Attack/Defense: 260
Power: 214
Damage: 79-101
Attack Speed: 2.00
DPS: 45.0
Armor: 3540

My Snapjaw is essentially the same. So there you have it; at least from a 1.7 perspective, it seems that the only thing different from this turtle is its color. I’m going to be keeping my Snapjaw, simply because I can then invest those extra training points into more stats or resistances. /shrug – thought it was important enough to note. Hope it helps!

when tamed he has a spell called shell sheild,

Kommentar von Allakhazam

This dude must have a 15 week spawntime :(

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Is this fella, at the same lvls, as good as Ghamoo-ra who has a massive armor base?

Just wondering if anyone knew the stats comparisons on em.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I would tame this guy, his drops arent to bad but there not that great either.
He is worht alot mob wise but I would defienently tame him.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Girlfriend and I got him at level 40. Pets lived long enough for one of us to get a single spell to land for damage (used nearly all our mana for 1 successful hit), then drug him to the guards of Revantusk.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

i just saw this guy. hes really ezy. me(lvl 44 hunter) and a lvl 49 warrior killed this guy. something that i figured out is that if u attack him in meele it does like 20% of your dammage back to you. when weeee killed him he droped some plate gloves. The warrior alrdy had better gloves so we both rolled. i won the roll. dont know what to sell it for in A.H.

-------------------------------------------
The alliance sucks! happy new year!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I've spent alot of time hunting the turtles along the beach and I've only seen him twice. The first time I killed him he dropped a nice purple item (My first purple item), a shield called "Wall of the Dead"
Wall of the Dead
1937 Armor
34 Block
+10 Strength
+15 stamina
Requires lvl 45
Passive ability: When struck in combat has a chance to encase the user in bone, increasing user's armor by 150 for 20 seconds.

The second time I got a decent green item. Since then I've been trying to find him again but with no luck. Like it says he's a "rare" spawn. But worth the wait.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

If you only are looking after this 1 becuz of the look, and you are many lvl's too low, so take a turtle from Dustwallow Marsh.
Ironback are not stronger (at the same lvl of course)and when tamed, he will loose the big size :)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Saw him just off the north coast, near the waterfall. Did "Beast Lore" on him and says he has:

Level 51 Beast
86-114 Damage
6060 Armor
2980 Health
Diet: Fungus, Fruit
Personality: Standard
Tameable

Didn't get to tame him since I was level 50 and he was 51. But he did drop a green Lord Gauntlet's of the Wolf for me. Pretty good. I have a screenie but unable to post online atm.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

All turtles have the exact same stats after they are tamed and are at the same level. It does not matter if it is an elite or a common one. This has nothing to do with changes or 1.7, it is the way it has always been.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Saw this guy spawn earlier, around 12:30 am EST if that matters. Nothing special dropped, just a lousy green.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Iron back wasn't nearly as strong as gameritta.. who took me two tries to defeat. lvl 53 rogue

anyway, he dropped some plate leggings, and a Big Mouth Clam. And inside, a black pearl~~

Kommentar von nicholberry

It's frustrating to come here for "Classic" comments on Ironback when everything posted here is 2007 and previous. If anybody actually playing Classic runs across him, kills him or tames him, a fresh useful comment would be a welcome sight.

Kommentar von musclefollower

If you are looking for it, the turtle will pop out from the others the same way as Gammerita is easy to identify because of its body color and size. If you are a lowbie horde you can get some help with the guards to kill it if you kite it near the base, I've done it a couple of times, same if you need help with Gammerita. Just make sure that you own it enough, or the guards will steal it from you if you let them do all the work.

Kommentar von Kwongdor

Can confirm it spawns in SoD Phase 2. Fought and killed it today. Had to kite for quite a while on hunter.
