Now I just spent some time farming these guys and yes, it is farmable. The problem here there is only one bandit and each time you kill him he spawns 'semi-randomly' around the map. Each spot marked on the map that allakhazam has up seems to be valid from what i can tell. This is what you should do if you want to farm this.

First) have a hunter who can track stealth. Makes it easier than mashing a /target blood elf icon escpecially if someones name starts with a B in the area.
Second) A mount would be nice, lots of running.
Third) Pick a route in a counter-clockwise manner that hits every area thats marked on the map and start running. You should run into the bandit every ten minutes or so. If the area marked is in a camp, ride through the center of it. If its along the road, just stay in the middle of the road.

Like I said there is no descernable patern to his spawning. Killed him roughly 17 times and got 3 bandit masks.

NOTE: Put your pets away. These guys go down easy and a pet can easily take one out before you get a hit. Then no loot for you.

Comment by TacBoy

If you are not a hunter I advise making a macro:

/target blood elf bandit

Then spam that every few seconds while running the route. These guys are always near the road and stealthed. Generally they are next to posts or in tall grass.

I've seen several spawns at or around 51,17 and 33,70.

as you can see blood elf bandits spawn instantaneously while probably rare, it happened to me within a blink of an eye lol ^^

Comment by 3467

They tend to spawn under trees, inside ruins, and near other environmental locations that are more subtle than others.

Comment by Amaunet

well i didnt know it was only one guy until i read the 3rd post again. that blows.

Comment by 21865

i had to kill 8 of these guys to get one, it took alittle over an hour but it was worth it. my lucky friend got it on his first one.

Comment by 16996

If you're horde going there from Auberdine, take the Boat off the end of the dock. Not the one to the left or right just go straight.

The 9% drop rate seem about correct, once I got most of the spawns marked on my map I was getting a kill every 3-5 minutes, not fast but not too bad since the masks are going for around 100 gold on my server.

Comment by Sakrificer

I was out farming for this mask when I spot him using /target Blood Elf bandit ... I kill him, nothing good dropped, needed to use the restroom, was gone les then a minute and come back to my computer and he was hitting me from the same spot he just died. Spawn time was about 30-40 sec between deaths, killed him, nothing good dropped, then it happened AGAIN. Still nothing, but it just goes to show you that the respawn time is very short. Hopefully I will get this darn mask tonight.

Comment by 35644

I've kill one...but diddn´t find a bandit mask =(

Comment by 34629

It dropped my second kill! got it round the cavern just below the exodar, after I killed the bandit he resapwned at the same place 20 seconds or less in exactly the same spot!

Comment by frenzii

still waiting, but only on my third kill so far,
he felt like giving me Worn Leather boots at least...
a warning, this grind for whatever reason is much more tiresome then the average twink gear related blah blah... just have your snacks ready.

Comment by 43025

just to let u guys know they don't spawn in the same spot they spawn like a counterclock wise so when u kill them above exodar go counterclock wise

Comment by Robbinz

Found him standing stealthed next to the lamp thingy at 35,64.

Dropped the mask on my first kill :)

Comment by 36928

Anyways, I hunted them down killed 1 got 1, respawned same position killed him again got it again. =P Once again my luck is great.

Comment by 49473

Ok i need some help, im a lvl 12 hunter (draenei) and i go to the spots and i cant find em. They dont attack me instantly. Anyone know what the lvl requirement is for automatic attacks by em?

Comment by Jezalov

Farmed them for about an hour, killed about 15. Found most of them south west of Azure watch... Got 1 mask :P

Comment by 56649

Tips I followed from the above posts:

1. They spawn mostly at the south-western area.
2. They spawn near hidden areas (eg. trees, structures, etc.)
3. Use target macro (well I already knew this one)

I got the mask on my first kill. I figure you can only target them if you're within detecting range, but I cannot confirm.

Comment by Siim97

Bahh! my chars name is Bonthos.....cant farm them:(

Comment by 58313

25 kills .. no mask ..

they always spawn by the road, so u can just follow the road and spam the macro to find them

Comment by 45043

how does hord get there ..?

I found a mask after 15 kills....

Comment by 68904

okay this is really farfetched but he spawned in the same place 6 times in a row. i swear it wasnt like kill spawn kill spawn. i was reading comments on this site while hunting and i found him so i killed him. i read two or 3 comments about him went back to the game (from minimize) and he was hitting me. so i killed him and went back to coments and went to go hunt him again. he was wailing on me. i did this in like 5 minutes. only got the drop on kill number 2

Comment by 72912

heh. i was lucky. i got it when i killed my first bandit.

Comment by 70295

Rare spawn or not? me and this guy in my guild on Gul`dan are aurgureing if it is or not ;0

Comment by 73313

i can find them have been all the place plz tell me how i finde them

Comment by 73219

Some have suggested making several characters and placing one at each spawn point. I haven't tried that but i assume it would work well.

Comment by 46883

Ok lets clear this up!

There are exactly 10 spawn points for this mob. There is only one mob alive at a time. They sometimes spawn at the same location more than once in a row. In these cases the new one will appear before the other's body disapears.

Use /target Blood Elf Bandit to check each of these locations (using CT map mod cords)

36,21 - Hiding behind a large tree
50, 29 - Hiding behind a small broken pillar
51, 17 - Hiding near the lit pillar at the end of a small bridge
43, 63 - Hiding near a patch of bushes just off the road
35, 64 - Hiding near a southern lit pillar near a fork in the road
33. 70 - Hiding behind a tree across from a lit pillar just before the naga area
37,52 - Hiding behind a tree and a light post near the road
32, 62 - Hiding near a large broken pillar
*46, 37 - Hiding near a street light on the road to azuremyst
36, 32 - Hiding near a small broken pillar and a tree

*This spawn may be a little off. Only seen once there and forgot to record exact cords.

NOTE: If you get a group of people together you can farm the crap out of these as one person can take the southern 4 spawns and other party members can check the other locations.

I repeat. These spawn locations are the only places you have to check. After many many many hours of farming these mobs I can assure you these locations are fixed and that the mobs do not move from them unless to chase their targets. Drop rate of mask is about 10% but don't be surprised if fate hates you.

I hope this helps.

HOW TO FIND HIM LESS THEN IN 25 MINUTES!!

ok listen i tried this more then 10 times and i give you 75% that you will find him in less then 25 minutes all you have to do...

1. Be alliance :p
2. Get to Azuremyst Isle
3. make a macro /target blood elf bandit
4. start running in circles
-=map showing the lap: http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c68/BoTsMaN/helpme.jpg =-
5. keep pressing the macro when ur running the lap
6. find him and kill :)

Good luck all :)

Comment by jukedyah

These ARE farmable by both alliance AND the horde. First, make a macro /target blood elf bandit. It's very useful. If you're a hunter, be sure to turn on Track Stealth and DISMISS YOUR PETS! If your pet kills the bandit, BAM you dont get the loot. Also, 100% mounts are VERY HELPFUL. I suggest at LEAST a 60% mount to do this, otherwise it is just painstakingly boring.
To get to Azuremist Isle (the place that all this takes place in), horde need to first fly to Zoram Outpost in ashenvale (or Splinter Tree Post if you dont have that one) then head north to the alliance town Auberdine in Darkshore. You need to take a boat from the town.. The guards are level 40 so I suggest stealth for a lower level than 40.
I've found that he pretty much spawns right off the sides of roads, so don't bother leaving the road. But he does spawn all over the map, so I suggest setting up a route you can follow over and over the same way, hitting all the points on/near the roads. Sometimes he spawns in the same place twice, so I also suggest waiting for the corpse to disapeer before you leave and look for him again, otherwise youll go all over the map to find him in the exact same spot. (it's less than a 1 minute wait). There's not really a pattern to his spawns though.
I've killed over 60 of them and I've gotten 3. I haven't found a single spawn off the road yet.
Hope this info helps someone, good luck! Uhhh why is this a -1 rating... I figured it would be helpful >.<

Comment by 96237

just found on third kill tyvm every one with all the help with map coors and map notes i marked all them would have aken me foreev to find that mofo three times w/o it

Comment by 78621

Myself and two friends have been farming him. Here is what we found.

1. He sometimes spawn instant after a kill in the same place (got up to 4 times)
2. Possible more than 1 spawn. 1 of my friends and I were in two different locations on the map looking for him and we both found and killed him at the same time, this has happened more than 4 times now.
3. Best farming is to lvl to about 15+ create macro /target blood elf bandit and spam away whilst running his spawn route, as can be seen here https://www.cuckhead.com/cata/npc=17591 once you higher lvl you can see him from further away whilest he is stealhed.

Happy Hunting

Comment by Zeror

It seems the Blood Elf Bandit spawns around bushes or pillars that are standing next to the road.

This is actaually a good macro to scan the area:

/target blood elf bandit

The range of the macro is the same like when you select a target and run away and lose the target's selection. It's a pretty wide area what you can scan with one press of the macro =)

Good luck farming

Note: i got like 9 Bandits within 50 minutes of time. Just keep walking around those spots. Bad enough i got no Blood Elf Mask. :(

Comment by 107069

i need help i could not find any by these spots i even used the macro i need help my username is shandori on one of the last 2 realms of z

Comment by 111381

I found him at 33,70. only once tho, and i made 3 full cycles of azuremyst... 33,70 was the only place he spawned for me. i didn't really use the macro.. i just spammed on pressing t (targeting button for me) like 80 times when i got near the spawn point

Comment by 53267

A level 11 Draenei, I found him using the 100% speed mount you get after finishing the quest The Kessel Run. With 6 minutes spare after finishing, I ran the circle once and found him at 31;42. Killed easily, but no mask. Fun nonetheless- will include screenshot.

Comment by prupparna

There was two summons at 27.51 in a row, so you could try to look there too.

Got the mask on my fourth kill, after 1 run around, the mask dropped at 36.32

Comment by 115686

Killed 9 of them so far...no mask yet. When I first started my Draenei paladin, I got the mask to drop 2 times from 3 bandits killed...0 for 9 now.

Comment by 115686

update...1 mask...11 guys killed

Comment by 20383

I definently noticed that he spawned in a COUNTER-clockwise pattern!!

Yes he DOES sometimes spawn in the SAME PLACE! So wait until the body despawns before you head off to find him again. (He will always respawn before the other body despawns!)

And if you insist on having a pet out, PUT IT ON PASSIVE!!! Or just dismiss them all together!!!
((I wasn't paying attention, he respawned in the same location, attacked me while my pet was on defensive... and my pet pwned him ... needless to say I couldn't loot T_T))

The macro of "/Target Blood Elf Bandit" definently helped a lot! It has amazing range at which it will target him!

I looted one mask after about 30 kills... Some people have better luck but meh.

Comment by 121305

He also likes to spawn beside the Torch-Light.

Comment by 82315

I got mine on my second kill. At the Pod Clusters.

Comment by 82315

50,29 is also a good spot. Im not sure, but I think the higher you are, the less likely you get the Mask. Ive been running around the Isle and killed him alot but havent got one.There might be two, or he spawns instantly, because I found him in less than two minutes twice.

Comment by 55736

I can't find them ANYWHERE!

Comment by 87615

He's freakin hard to find!

Comment by Fears

This mob spawned seconds after i killed another in exactly the same place. so people who say this spawns every 1 - 2 mins are incorrect. It happened about an hour later aswell.

Comment by 54028

Quit bumping the comments up that state the 10 spots marked on the roads are the only spots they spawn, they have spawned amongst the furbolgs you kill to release the captives, amongst the murlocs where the stillpine grain quest is located, amongst the ravagers, amongst the goblins with the compass, amongst the naga outside the cave, as well as next to the first two stillpine ancestor totems. This is not a case of mobs "wandering" away from their spawn points, nor is it a case of the bandits being "pathers". These are stationary mobs that when observed over long periods, do not move more than a few yards back and forth over their spawn point.

Please stop the spread of this false information that the bandits have exactly 10 spawn points along the road and no others, as it's entirely false.

have fun :)!

Comment by 35338

Ok, after two days of farming this and getting more than 25 Blood Elf Bandit Masks, Here are the exact locations of the 10 spawn points. These points were compiled with Cartographer using the high precision option and was logged at the exact spawn point by one shotting the Bandit with a bow with my Lvl 70 Rogue.

27.6, 52.1 - Between a large tree and a lit pillar on side of the road.
32.3, 62.7 - Next to a large broken pillar.
33.8, 70.7 - Next to a large tree on side of the road.
35.3, 64.8 - Next to a lit pillar at fork in the road.
43.1, 63.5 - Next to a patch of bushes slightly off side of the road.
46.6, 39.5 - Next to a purple street light on side of the road.
50.4, 29.2 - Next to a small broken pillar on side of the road.
51.9, 17.6 - Next to a lit pillar on southwest corner of a small bridge.
36.8, 21.0 - Next to a large tree just off side of the road.
36.7, 32.7 - Next to a small broken pillar and large tree on side of the road.

If you have any kind of combat pet (demon, imp, hunter pet, etc.) put it away, or put it on passive, as it could easily one shot the Blood Elf Bandit before you hit it and rob you of your chance to loot him.

Use the /target Blood Elf Bandit macro to help find him at the above 10 points, as he spawns stealthed, and stays stealthed until killed or aggro'd.
There is only one Blood Elf Bandit, he spawns randomly at the above 10 locations, none of the other 4 points listed in the comments here i was able to confirm (the ones well off of the road) over 2.5 days of farming these and logging the exact location.
He does not spawn in any recognizable pattern, clock-wise, counter clock-wise, or any other pattern.
He can spawn in the same location more than once in a row, and when that is the case, he will USUALLY spawn before his corpse despawns, though he has spawned as much as 20 seconds after the corpse dissapeared.

The drop rate appears to be about 10% for the mask, and doing a full counter-clockwise search of those 10 points listed here in order takes about 7 minutes on an epic land mount.

Hope this helps anyone that wants to farm this item.

Looking after them is So LAME! xD

for some reason that macro doesnt work. maybe blizzard disabled it in 2.4

Comment by 121904

I was walking around the Silting Shore today and I randomly ran into him.

Coords 33.6, 26.2 ; (Refer to the mini map for exact location).

Comment by 146390

Ugh i cant find him

Comment by 108694

This dude just happend to sneak up on my shaman around 51,17 when I was doing The Kessel Run. I hopped off to attack him & lost the mount. Just my luck! Fortunatly, I was able to finish the quest just in time!

Now I'm farming him on my warlock & so far he's been spawning in more of a counterclockwise run around the island. Even with Track or Detect Invisibility, he can still disappear on you so you pretty much have to run right into him if you're too high to aggro him.

Comment by 149707

Comment by Sunlar

What I'm about to write probably only concerns to Horde-side players, as it is pretty much useless to Alliance, and it is extremely useful to lower-levels:

Since I've seen some Horde players above, and also on the Blood Elf Bandit Mask page asking how to get to this mob, etc, I'm going to post the 'system' I use to get to Azuremyst (since I am Horde).

Warning: Using this method will have your items take a cut of 25% durability, since it is required that you use the spirit healer.

1st - Go to Orgrimmar, purchase a trip to Zoram'gar Outpost (if you haven't got that flight path, I suggest you go to Ashenvale and get both Splintertree Post and Zoram'gar Outpost's flightpaths, the latter is also of great use if you want quick access to BFD).

2nd - Walk to Darkshore, get some mobs to pile up on you and kill you.

3rd - WHILE DEAD, walk North to Auberdine, get inside town, then go to the inn that has three lenghty bridges on it's end and go to the ship in the centre (don't take the left or right ship, either way, there are signposts there).

4th - As soon as you arive in Azuremyst, head to Azure Watch, and use the Spirit Healer there, then go to the huge lake in the centre of Azuremyst to wait for your ress sickness timer to end (for those lower-levels that find ress sickness relevant, since BE Bandits are level 7).

5th - Happy Mask Hunting!! As said many times before, don't forget using the macro /target Blood Elf Bandit, and if you have either Detect Invisibility or Track Hidden, don't hesitate to use them.

Someone may have come up with a method 100x easier than this, but for lower levels, I find this preferrable than dying 100 times in Auberdine and getting your items completely destroyed.

I hope you find this of use ;)

Sunlar

Edit: spelling mistake

Comment by 141075

So, people are saying that there can only be one Blood Elf Bandit spawned at a time, and that the bandit will spawn randomly in one of the spawn points around the map instantly after he is killed. This leads me to think that it might be worth bringing like 10 guildies out there, and sitting on the main spawn points, than all you need to do is wait for him to spawn over and over again. Again, just an idea.... i cant find that many people to try it out.

P.S. : im saying that it might be worth it because people are claiming its an instant respawn

Comment by 39172

spawned 4 times between 30 and 35,65 for me :D .

Comment by Muck

...and if you have either Detect Invisibility...

Just remember that the Warlock spell Detect Invisibility does NOT assist in finding these mobs - Stealth is completely different to Invisibility.

Stealth is a chance to not be detected that is dependant on different things such as level, talents, and buffs. Things that will help you see through stealth easier are Catseye Elixirs, some engineering goggles, Paranoia (Felhunter Aura), Track Hidden (Hunter), Perception (Human), Heightened Senses (Rogue) and just plain being a higher level than the thing trying to stealth.

Invisibility is just that - you cannot detect them without some sort of aid such as detect invisibility, hunter's mark, or being invisible yourself.

Most of these methods are kinda moot - these mobs are level 7, and by the time you're able to use most of those abilities or items you're level 30+ and can see them from a considerable distance anyway.

That's the map I've found to be the most accurate because occasionally he spawns out in a couple places not covered on the other maps (that I looked at).

I got three in a row all one spot, was my best record, and with 29 kills, I only got 1 mask. So don't get your hopes up that 1 out of 10 kills will drop your mask, because its not true. Although it should be.

Also- If you are 70, got an epic-ground, roll around use the

/target blood elf bandit

But also, if you can attach and instant damage cast, like my shaman used old reliable Earth Shock. Which read like the others above, but with Earthshock in its place.

/target Blood Elf Bandit
/cast Earth Shock

Good luck on your drops and happy hunting.

Comment by Snikmord

OBSERVATIONS:
Blood Elf Bandit respawns instantly (~30 seconds) in a new location counter-clockwise (or so it seems) on the map after being killed. He may sometimes respawn in the same spot that he was just killed, so keep an eye out. Although the spawns may seem pretty random at first glance, I'm convinced that there's some system involved.

Not all spawn points are along the road, there are several other off-road points that you should check out. Examples given: Bristlelimb Village, Emberglade and Totem of Tikti.

I also noticed that he has been placed next to objects that emit ambient sound (or background noise if you like), such as the lights along the road, crystals at crash sites, etc., in order to cover up the his stealth sound. Sneaky!

TIPS:
Go to options and turn off music and ambience, this lets you hear the bandit's stealth sound a lot better.

Type "/macro" in the chat and make yourself the following macro: /target Blood Elf Bandit

Now, put this on your hotbar and hammer it when you're around any "bandit hot-spots" on the map.
Although the bandit's hard to see in stealth (even for high level players) unless you stand next to him, he'll be lit up like a Christmas tree once targeted and easier to spot from a distance.

TRIVIA:
This may be far-fetched, but there could be more than one Blood Elf Bandit spawn on the map simultaneously: Alliance players have a chance to get the Blood Elf Communication drop from the bandit which leads to Bandits!. After turning in the quest item, he (or they) seemed to pop up everywhere on the map, but I'm sure this was purely coincidental... or was it?

Oh, and he's a poet but didn't know it:

Blood Elf Bandit says: For Silvermoon! For Sunstrider!
Blood Elf Bandit says: Your death will make a fitting tribute to the King!
Blood Elf Bandit says: Your money or your life! Actually, just your life will do...

Please, rate this post up if you found it useful. Thanks! :-)

Comment by 181778

The Blood Elf Bandt Seemed to spawn most often at 36.6. 32.7! I have been doing this for a while, however the drop rate still remains the same, 19%, 1/5, or 1/6, Depending on your luck! Happy hunting!

Comment by 191963

Some times this guy can spawn twice at the same place happened to me but both dropped the Mask! So wait at the spot for about 15 secs if no re spawn no extra chance to drop EASILY!

Comment by 133003

This is for people thats not level 70 and wants Blood Elf Bandit Mask. First take the quest The Kessel Run (Just at the first road to Bloodmyst Isle). Then you make a macro that says /target blood elf bandit. Then you get a 100% speed mount at the quest. Then you ride around the island and spam youre macro if u dont find it first 10 minuites just take the quest again. I got i after ike 20 mins.

Comment by 203609

Location 64,39 confirmed. Just behind the Totem of Tikti near a tree.

A second spawn about 30 sec on top of the first corpse.

I had recently turned in the quest, Bandits!, so it is still not clear if there are "normal" spawn points and special ones after the quest. Since there were two spawns in a row, it is likely this is not a special spawn point.

Comment by 208075

I found him twice at 64.6, 39.5
Again at 27.0, 52.1 (near the docks)
and once more at 33.5, 69.9

And my first one seemed most unusual because I saw him next to a tree near The Totem of Tikti :) And he actually moved and just stood there and at the time I didn't know who he was, and I was like WHOOO never seen that guy before! So I killed him, learned that he could drop a very rare mask, and thats how I got to where I am now

Hehe (:

Comment by Falcondark

As a Horde player on a PVP server, took a 24th level rogue to the island (via spirit ferry.. great idea as listed elsewhere). Hunted quite a while, killed 9 of these guys at locations already specified in earlier posts before I got my first drop.

Yes, I AM crazy, and a good thing to remember too. :)

Comment by 122668

Best form of macro:
/target blood elf bandit
/cast <main form of attack>
eg:

/target blood elf bandit
/cast Ice Lance

This will end up attacking any mobs you happen to aggro if you spam it, but if you're farming this on a mounted char, aggro should be a rare ocurrence.

For easy spamming, bind the macro to a key.

You have to loop around the ponds like that because any closer and you're counted as being "in" the Exodar, triggering your pvp flag and (presumably) that "the Exodar is under attack!" message.

No, you do not hit all of the spawn points on this route, but if you're a higher level you have a good enough range to catch most of them I've successfully used it to farm dozens of masks. (And on my server, each of those sells for 100 gold...)

Happy hunting!

Comment by GinjaNinja

Spent 40 minutes running around on my preist spamming.
/target blood elf bandit;
/cast Shadow Word: Death(Rank 2)
Turned the Ambience and Music off and had the Sounds on max.
Found 2 masks in 40 minutes tabbing between WoW and a map with the locations.

Good Hunting.

Comment by 269063

I created a route to help people farm the Blood Elf Bandit Mask the Blood Elf Bandits drop.

http://i729.photobucket.com/albums/ww296/sekit1324/AzuremystIsleRoute.jpg

Green, lime, and orange is the route. (different colors show over-lapping)
Pink is where the bandits spawn. (there is only one at a time in the entire zone)
Red is where Alliance is located. (for horde)

Totally just killed him at 54.21 while doing Beasts of the apocalypse.

Comment by 292877

Comment by 243044

GUYS how can i do this on my twenties for char ? is there a way to get into azurmyst ? please respond!

Comment by 311869

For me is really HARD find them, i crossed Azuremyst trying to find them.

Comment by 329831

I found a blood elf bandit at (36,32) just following the path. Got it first go =] Then found him again at (42,63) and got another one. he also spawned at (33,70) and (27,51) but didn't drop it, bad luck i guess

Comment by Druidude

I can confirm the places posted here. And I myself have a few tips:
1. The drop is frustratingly low about 1-2 out of every ten kills so keep that in mind. Its not a waste of time but it dose get boring after 45 minutes.
2. I definitely suggest making a macro (i.e. /target Blood Elf Bandit) and just spam it when you get near one of the points above.
3. The Bandits usually stay still when they stealth.
4. Most points are on the road (kind of near land marks) so just go in a counter clockwise run around th island.
5. Depending on your server it can be worth up to 100g (like on mine ^_^)
6. If your horde it may be a little hard to get there and i don't suggest going alone until you hit 40 at least.
7. Have fun getting rich :)

Comment by 316564

Real Easy using wowhead's map and just going around with track humanoids. Even as a druid, which can only do it in cat form, I could still mount or travel form between the indicated nodes on wowhead.

Comment by dennisman4567

i found him in like 20sec right by 27.0 , 52.1

Comment by 308524

For those who don't have friends that are hunter and your a dk death and decay is good. just Death and decay him at the coordinates.

Comment by Nell

Got the mask from 3rd kill at Embergalde :D

Comment by 351257

I farmed this guy for 2 hours and heres what i confirmed
1. They are in stealth
2. If theyre on the road than look for them beside streetlights
3. Theres only 1 spawn at a time
4. All the cords above is accurate
I farmed them for their masks after 6 kills i found 1 mask.
Happy Hunting

Comment by 141109

ive confirmed he spawned 3 times in a row within 60 seconds very lucky i guess though no mask yet

Comment by 422049

They spawn instantly. I killed one, ran to the next co-ord and one was there.

Another thing, the map above the comments is fully correct.

I've killed 12 and NO MASK T.T

~ Astro

Comment by Siberie

I have done 17 kills and NO MASK!.... RAAAH!...

Other that that the marco for the hunter works like a charm and all 17 spawns where at a road.

Hopefully someone els is luckier than me!

Comment by Siberie

YEEEH, the 18th kill did the job ;-)
(again a spawn at the road)

Comment by DigdogMrWoW

lol found him at 52.8, 40.3 (above Azure Watch) and dropped first time made it easy to find him with the macro /target blood elf bandit and I was 60 to lol...horde.

Comment by 436144

I'm not going to rehash all the maps and routes suggested. Just wanted to suggest the following macro

/targetexact Blood Elf Bandit;
/cast Hand of Reckoning

The "/targetexact" code will ignore mobs or players that would otherwise be targeted due to similar names
Then if it finds the target, it casts "Hand of Reckoning" which can be replaced with any taunt, and the mob runs right to you.
If no taunts, any sort of instant attack will work though at higher level you will kill him outright.

I also suggest turning off NPC names in the interface, that way if you target him near other mobs, his will be the only name you see.

I haven't found any masks yet after an hour or so trying to farm it, but I have certainly found plenty of the Blood Elf Bandits this way.

Comment by Teface

how do horde get there?

Comment by Stormwaker

I roughly spent half an hour on my first attempt farming the lil' bugger for it on my rogue (as a novelty item) and then later on for a friend to have while leveling, which took half the time. Spawns relatively quick, and map locations are accurate. This farm, however, can be tricky. If you're not a hunter or a rogue with Heightened Senses, this can make it feel like a Merry-Go-Round with you spamming the hell out of your macro and running in circles trying to find the pain in the butt.

The mask itself is pretty, but with the flat bottom, it can look ugly on some races with...spinal issues like orcs, tauren, undead and trolls (primarily male for all but the cows). Still, the benefit of it is that the item isn't Soulbound so you can equip it on a low level so you can pimp while you level and level while you pimp.

Comment by 367379

Dropped for me here https://www.cuckhead.com/cata/maps=3524:516176 on the very first kill. While i was writing this i noticed i was being attacked by the same one so the respaqn on these guys are short

Comment by kryzflavored

Just a warning, the wandering Peacekeepers will kill him if they get to him before you.

Comment by 381677

I found him four times, once behind the post at 35, 64, then south more( near the post he spawned twice but i could only loot him once), then he spawned (double times, 1 loot) near the southern part of the exodar and the mask dropped, he spawns in a clockwise rotation, in the first 10 coords posted

Comment by 460048

A few observations I had while farming a mask for my banker:

1. They only appear to spawn along the road, ignore any spots on the map away from the road.

2. They can spawn at the same spot twice in a row, and the respawn time can range anywhere from instant to just before the old body disappears. Always wait for the body to despawn before moving on.

3. They are more likely to spawn next to a post or light, but sometimes they don't.

Comment by 527288

I killed 2 at one time. I had attack one and just killed it and another came up behind me. As I was about to screen it the first body disappeared, and acoupple seconds later the other did too.

Comment by 511478

What sucks is, I want the Blood Elf Bandit Mask, but it costs 1000g buyout on the AH for my server. So, I don't buy it on the AH. I got hunting for it, which sucks, because everytime I find him, he NEVER drops it! lol

Comment by 562414

ive been looking for age's still havent found one checked all your spots not even killed one yet :(

Comment by jostler

Does anyone know if they reduced the drop rate for the mask off of this guy? I've killed him about 45 times now and still no drop... making me second guess and spend WAY too much time on this island!

Comment by 266650

I'd say the drop rate should be more like .1% than 10%. Probably around 30 killed and not a single one. Also, my server is selling the mask for around 250 gold. I'll be posting screenshots later of all the locations I found. If you like them, give me approval.

Comment by 458623

Running around in circles for two hours now, hasn't spawned since.

Still in the game? O_o

Comment by Apollion

Got it long ago on a lowbie while questing, not knowing it was somewhat "special", I used it a few levels then deleted it for bag space.

Now, after several days of farming, over 50 kills, still no fckn mask!

/afk banging my head on the wall

PS. I've stick to the road only, always find it in less than a full circle.

Comment by 626326

A good way to search for this guy is to get NPCscan and enter him into the customs tab. His ID is 17591. If you are level 80, you should see him with his stealth pretty far away, and NPCscan will instantly play an alarm sound and mark him once he is found. After finding him, just clear the cache and keep looking for more.

Comment by HelpfulJoe

While I was farming him, I noticed he spawned where ever the next spawn point would be clockwise. I don't know, it just might be me but this might be useful if you farm him.

EDIT: after posting the above he broke the routine and i'm still searching for him.

Comment by 639118

I'm a blood elf and I got 4 of these for me, my rogue, and 2 guildies. /flex :P

Comment by 635812

wow i just kill 23 of them in like...an hour and no mask :(

Comment by BeardedNomNom

I have farmed this mask on many occasions this is what I found to be most effective
make a circuit on these spawns mostly following roads In this order.
27.6, 51.8
32.5, 63.0
35.1, 65.1
33.6, 70.0
43.0, 63.8-not here often
46.7, 39.3-when making your way here avoid the gaurds they will bring unwanted agro from lvl 80's that happen to be in the Draenei city.
50.2, 29.1
52.0, 17.5
after this point wait for the body to dissapear and turn around and redo the spawn points if you do a full circuit and do not see him it is because he has spawned either at
37.1, 21.0
or 36.6, 33.0
have done this for hours and this stradegy has never failed.
I used a DK with this macro

/target blood elf bandit

/use Death Grip

For the 46.6, 39.5 spawn point he spawns here quite often but there is a Draenei guard that will kill him as he patrols past takes him out in 2-3 hits very annoying.
So try and kill him as you patrol through the different spawn points.

Hope this helps the only other tip i would give is get a buddy to help farm the top spawns and then you farm the bottom ones this will speed it up so fast because of how fast he respawns.

Happy Farming

Comment by oliveoyle

On my Mage i use /target Blood Elf Bandit
/cast Ice Lance

any instants cast spell works here

Comment by niller303

the blood elf at 64,8 39,5 is high chance too get blood elf bandit mask if you find him the you have, for 1-10, 8,5 chance too get it.

Comment by 659936

I found him in the area i killed him at, and he spawned unstealthed....

Comment by Brosky

Killed over 10 of these guys in like 1h - 1.5h..all I got for my effort were a few pieces of copper, a mallet, a pair of boots and a bitter taste in my mouth from the failure :(

Comment by 356678

I feel really lucky, went to farm this on my lvl 18 pally and BAM first find first drop...surprised the ^&*! out of me

Comment by 618906

I was walking by with my fresh lvl 10 toon when I accidently saw him. I killed him and decided to farm him since the mask didn't drop.I went to the nearest spawn point and he was there! I killed him and then he spawned again , and again , and again in the exact same location!( it dropped at the fifth kill :D )

Comment by 341933

Summary:
20 spawn points.
No despawn timer that I'm aware of.
Respawns 30 seconds after previous kill.
Random spawn (doesn't spawn in any particular order).
"/target Blood Elf Bandit" macros are your best friend.

------

Kaerid's map is legit.

https://www.cuckhead.com/cata/maps=3524:584184536212514175646395495294460396532417526615433638360611346639335699320625278791264675270521362322332264337182365205

I have seen at least two spawns at all 20 of these spots and nothing between (no new/additional spawn points).
This is my take on the 20 spawn points and how to visit each one if you're into that kind of thing:
Picture - clicky clicky!
And a video of the Bandit at all 20 of his spawn locations for those of you who like to see it before you believe it! (I recommend using one of the HD settings, but it's not pertinent.)

Comment by Neissis

Hey! First I wanna state a thing. Horde players can go there and they can kill the Bandit xD so much for the loyalty!

I would like to ask something now, I've been killing him over and over and yes, drop rate for any item is low and mask even lower.
But my question is, is there anyone that looted the mask 2 times and had both in bag? Seems like the chance for drop is removed IF You got it in bag?
Seen ppl saying they had luck and got like 2+ of this. question is, at same time? Or did You sell/send it away at first?

Comment by Chompskyy

45+ Kills on the bandit and no drop yet. Starting to think the numbers aren't accurate. 5+ gray items under 2% drop found and no mask yet. Either the most unlucky person in the world of the mask is a phony

I wouldn't be nearly as committed as I have been if not for the fact that I got this item in original WotLK

Send me your prayers please

Comment by Essabelle

The spawn points on the map are NOT accurate. The BE Bandit spawns at only one random spot from the list of 10 points. The map shows points all over creation.
Though he USUALLY remains stealthed, he may spawn unstealthed but go into stealth as you approach him.
You can make a macro to find him, but most of the time I just listened for the stealth sound. Less wear/tear on the keyboard from spamming a key and helps prevent CTS. (carpel tunnel syndrome)
Don't be in a rush to move on after finding him. On numerous occasions he respawned at the same location within 30-40 seconds.
CLEAR TomTom points after finding him and reload the points again. Use '/cway' after reloading. (My macro does this.)
Classes with pets: DISMISS THE PET! Pets can easily one-shot the bandit. Oops! You'll prolly be farming with a toon that has a mount. Any toon with a mount should be able to easily one-shot any hostile NPCs. Heck, you can just ignore them and keep on moving to the next location. Make the SPCA happy and park your pet.

Target macro. The stopmacro command is there so you won't get a plethora (lots) of unit not found notifications. /tm 8 is a skull. Use any number 1-8 you like.

/cleartarget
/tar blood
/stopmacro
/tm 8

The following is my TomTom macro. The '#1943' is the zone Azuremyst Isle. You can run the macro anywhere, any zone and it will put the markers in the correct zone. (You can Google for a list of zones then put the list into a spreadsheet/wordpad document for reference. There seems to be numerous lists that WILL NOT WORK! Just check the list you find to be sure that #1943 is Azuremyst Isle.)
The points are numbered 1-10 just for grins. If you put in 'BE Bandit' for the comment you'll most likely exceed the character limit for a macro.
All points have been 'verified' - I found a bandit at every one of the ten locations. I have never found him at any of the other locations shown on the map. When finding him I one-shotted him then stood on the corpse to verify the coordinates. i.e. He never got the chance to attack/move. :-)
/cway - 'Closest Way' - points the arrow to the closest point no matter what order you put in multiple points. Good to use if you see you're getting too far away from some points.

/way #1943 27.6, 52.1 1
/way #1943 32.3, 62.7 2
/way #1943 33.8, 70.7 3
/way #1943 35.3, 64.8 4
/way #1943 43.1, 63.5 5
/way #1943 46.6, 39.5 6
/way #1943 50.4, 29.2 7
/way #1943 51.9, 17.5 8

Comment by froppy6942

ive killed 40 with no mask and recorded 2-3 drops not on wowheads table, wowheads information is just wrong majority of the time and the drop rates are aggressively less then what wowhead states, either way if you farming this you will probably get 5 items not described on wowheads table and a disappointed taste in your mouth after fraudulent 14% drop rate claims, imagine asking for donations with all the ads littered around the place and terrible information, i dont think any of the classic guides for classes are made by someone has never done a fat pass, either way im buying this mask for 300g and that price probably accurately reflects the drop rate unlike this website

Comment by Dunesword

In Cata Classic I found the Blood Elf Bandit at: 43.10, 63.45
