появилась буря примерно в 6-15 по мск(может и раньше,но я увидел в это время) .длится довольно долго, часа полтора точно!.. лис вылазит при буре куча, отлов проблем не составил. насчет лисичек редкого качества-да они есть,отловил такого пета. но очень редко дропаются . я потратил больше часа на поиски среди всей популяции)

поделюсь своими наблюдениями.
очень похоже, что в случае покемонов, зависимых от каких-то особых условий (в случае с лисёнком это снежная буря) они (мобы) все инициализируются одним шаблоном (скорее всего что-то типа (серый лисёнок) + 2x (заяц или паук или скунс) (белый или серый). после того, как этих первичносозданных покемонов начинают удалять, начинают респавниться новые, уже по другим шаблонам, которые имеют гораздо более стандартное поведение, наблюдаемое в стандартно населяемых зонах.
так, устраивая "лисоцид" сперва в районе К-3, а затем в снежных равнинах ваш слуга покорный добился появления зелёных лисят и, судя по тому, что в спутниках у них появлялись зелёные и синие пауки-зайцы-скунсы, вполне возможно, что можно было, при должном усердии, найти и синего лисёнка. но, увы, время летит незаметно и пурга имеет свойство кончаться. но, тем не менее, стратегия выработана: жестокий мобоцид (возможно, что даже вида "начал бой & сразу сдался" - при этом происходит удаление дикого покемона с карты) до появления желаемого результата.
удачи!

у меня прямо беда с этим лисенком, при входе на персонажа ( ЧШ) вижу каких то питомцев но они сразу исчезают я даже не успеваю увидеть кто там, облетев всю локацию не вижу вообще ни одного кого можно было бы приручить. Зашла с другого сервера (АЗУ) магом- лечу на такси- мимо пролетает вневременной дракон - вернулась на друида (ЧШ)- его разумеется след простыл, возвращаюсь на АЗУ лечу магом - летит мимо вирагоса , возвращаюсь на ЧШ - ее уже нет. И питомцев вообще никаких нет. Фазирование. супер. Написала гму. Сижу злюсь.

Комментарий от Lueirazae

Очень удобно ставить в Грозовую гряду мульта. И заходить раз в полчаса-час - проверять, не начался ли снегопад. Тогда фарм данного пета так не напрягает.

жду вторые сутки с 8 утра по мск и аж до пол первого ночи. Каждые пол часа по будильнику захожу, но пилять ни бури ни лисёнка =( бури вообще в дневное время бывают?

Поймал спустя 4 суток ожидания, заходил каждый час, ибо слегка замучился. Как то зайдя увидел лёгкий снежок, думал просто спецэффект, но решил подождать и начался снегопад и тут лисята понеслись =)

на СС в 10:15 заметила пета...навела - лисёнок...и снежок стал заметнее....иногда он пропадает совсем на несколько секунд.....не знала сколько времени уже идёт буря....спешно облетала все точки...лисы ресаются часто....если летать к снежным равнинам с вычищенного К-З....то вернувшись с верхних точек...на нижних снова всё будет в лисах....(даже при скидывании боя с серыми и белыми лисами для экономии времени)....через 30 минут....уже решив успокоиться на зелёном всё же попался синий.

Комментарий от AnanaSs

Пока кэмперю драка, заметила,что снег падает на местах респа драка( в 3 точках я убедилась сама-деревня,озеро,рядом с Ульдуаром), примерно в 17:30 по серверу заметила первый снег, второй был где-то часа через 3-4 (20:00-21:00 по серверу).
Около деревни, не получилось поймать пета, т.к писал что поверхность не ровная и посторонние предметы. Поймала около озера со вторым снегом.

Комментарий от meirni

в 10.30 зашла в игру,предварительно оставив альта на точке респа.Увидела несколько лисичек и по-быстрому начала ловить.В процессе первого же боя снег прекратился, но лиса не пропала и успешно была поймана, не редкого,а необычного кач-ва..но тоже сойдет.

Комментарий от Irandatka

Есть боевые питомцы, которых не поймаешь просто так. Они появляются в определенное время суток, года или при определенных погодных условиях.

Вот их список:

Ранние "пташки"

Неугомонный кошмарыш

Ночные жители

Детеныш черной вдовы
Каменный броненосец

Различные погодные условия

Обезьянка - дождь
Полярный лисенок - снег
Юный силитид - песчаная буря

Время года

Белоснежная сова - зима
Миниатюрный киражский стражник - лето

Снегопод виден по всей локе? или же в каждой зоне отдельно?

Комментарий от NIFIGATOR

Сторожил снежные бури по всей локе с 6-ти часов утра по Москве. Лисята появились в 12.10, тут то и начался отлов... Оказалось бури были по всем точкам спавна спутника как на карте. Первого синего приручил с 12 попытки в коор. 28 - 64. Всего нашел 27 полярных лисенка.
Потом сообщил всему серверу. Прилетел один,пришлось показывать где ловить. В это время поймал еще двух редких лисенка в коор. 63 - 43 и 67 - 45. С товарищем же пришлось летать час с лишним,после чего был пойман первый редкий лисенок в коор. 65 - 42. Интересная "удача" получается возле Громовержья. Закончили охоту в 13.40, но бури еще не пропали.

П.С. Невозможно вступить в бой (лисенок ходит по склону) - 35.40 - 45.72. Сложность с началом боя ("посторонние объекты", видимо где-то внизу в пещерах мобы) - 48.80 - 57.50.

П.П.С. Повезло поймать Сколла во время появления лисят. А товарищ за час поисков поймал 4 редких: 2 горных скунса, паука и полярного зайца.

Всем удачной ловли.

9.50 по мск, зашла проверить твинка в грозовой на предмет бури (висела около Холмы снежной слепоты). Бурю не обнаружила, зато на карте увидела пета, навелась - лисенок. Повезло, сразу попался синий. Когда стартовал бой, увидела и бурю. Потом поодаль нашла еще 1 обычного. потом все, буря кончилась. Видимо успела на хвост.

26.02.2014 Ясеневый лес. Буря началась в 10:05 (по серверу). В 10:40 улетел из локации, снег все еще падал. Лисят и правда появляется довольно много. Если летать высоко, то сам снег можно не увидеть, но на карте лисята отобразятся.

Комментарий от Vagranet

Галакронд серв: Переодически летал за лисенком около недели. В конце попал под тех работы на сервере, зашел после них - снова ничего. Утром следующего дня(сегодня) только зашел в игру появился в К3 Грозовая гряда как меня выкинула при перезаходе выдалось сообщение - ежедневные задание обновились(3:00 по серверу) и через минуту пошел снег. Лисят очень много быстро нашел сначала синего (со второй попытки), затем облетел даларан и святилище 7 звезд крикнул и вернулся народу никого. Начал собирать синих, не трогая остальных(жал сдаться в начале боя(через секунду восстанавливаются на том же месте)) через 20 минут насобирал до 3/3. Буря идет уже почти час.

З:ы: подтверждаю - снег идет ТОЛЬКО над лисятами, т.е. лучше летать и смотреть по миникарте где они. Иногда подлетал к петам и снег начинал отображаться только во время битвы. Независимо от того есть лисенок в точке или нет(его уже кто то выловил) снег в том же месте идет и можно подождать респа. Синих поймал В холмах и у машины творцов.

З.з.ы: После крика прошептал чел с сервера гордунни что нашел лисят, так что по серверам похоже буря все таки сочетается

Всем удачной охоты!

Комментарий от Olunka

Поймала сегодня этого пета в 20.40 по Москве, сервер Ткач смерти + Пиратская бухта

Снегопад идет по всей локации Грозовая гряда, снежок редкий не навязчивый, если настройки графики не максимальные можно не заметить.

Больше всего лисят видела в левой верхней части локации.
В 21.00 снегопад прекратился и лисята пропали.

Самый первый лисенок, который мне попался оказался синим, так что повезло вдвойне.

В 23:00 по серверу находился в локации Хребет ледяного огня, Костегар, у лавового озера. Вдруг пошел снег. Решил проверить проверить что на Грозовой Гряде, зашел другим персом, благо он в Зулдраке был, и точно. Идет снег и лисята появились. Незнаю, есть ли связь локаций по погоде. Сервер Азурегос. В 23:30 снег закончился в обоих локациях.
P.S. Редкий так и не попался ((

Приветствуем коллекционеров!

В данный момент существует затруднение с этим питомцем. Он не всегда появляется даже в соответствующих погодных условиях, что приведет к проблемам с поиском питомца. Не волнуйтесь, наши разработчики работают над разрешением затруднения.

Ловил в районе Снежных равнин. Туда попал в 08.09 по серверному времени. До 09.23 снегопад шел. За это время проведено около 30 боев - редкого качества лесенок не найден( Обычного, необычного, низкого - в достатке. Сервер Гордунни.

Комментарий от jiffka

Приручила только что. Никакого снегопада в локации не было, лисятки просто бродили по всей территории (специально пролетела по точкам спавна и проверила).
Возможно, буря по факту была, но не запустилась визуально, либо петы не пропали после прошедшего снегопада. Но, в любом случае, следите в оба, бывает и такое)

Комментарий от gomunkul

Не думал, что поймать затерянного во времени протодракона будет проще, чем этого питомца...

"Instead, each sub-zone among the 11 where weather is currently available is now linked to a set of variables that allow for the possibility of precipitation. The variables have been set to make the potential weather appropriate, meaning heavy showers are more likely in one region and drizzles in another. As Kaplan described it, the zone is practically asking itself whether there will be weather. "It's sort of randomly picking: 'I'm ready to rain but do I want to rain?' " he said. Duration will be chosen based on an automated system as well, with enough variables to make things unpredictable. ***"We didn't want it to be such a mathematical formula that somebody could literally sit with a stopwatch, log in, go to a zone and go, 'OK in two, one, go — it's going to rain.'"***

The Storm Peaks have treacherous paths, powerful winds, jagged cliffs, and hungry monsters. They are also home to the storm giants, one of the oldest races in the world and the keepers of the titans' legacy. The two biggest dangers in the Storm Peaks aren’t necessarily its inhabitants. The wind is fierce and constant, and can easily tug someone off a cliff. One look at those paths it has cut through the cliffs and one realizes how deadly wind can be. The second danger is sunlight. The peaks are covered in ice and the light reflects from every angle. Up here the ice is everywhere. Wearing dark glasses is the only way to survive — otherwise a person is blinded every time he moves his head, and before long he will take a misstep and tumble off a cliff or down a ravine. The weather doesn’t help — it is either clear and sunny, with the nasty glare, or dark as night and pouring, with sheets of freezing rain, hail, or snow battering down and making every surface as slick as oil.

For those saying they caught one when it wasn't snowing:

I am guessing you either caught them just as the snow was starting/stopping, the pet may have wandered out of it's initial spawn area, or you just didn't notice the snow. Some of the snow is hard to see regardless of graphic settings.

Edit #1:
I personally found mine on the mountains flying from the Argent Tournament into Storm Peaks and it didn't seem to be snowing. As I engaged in battle, I could see the snow. It was very light. So even flurries count =)

Edit #2:

Other Helpful Information:

The areas in the zone will not always experience snow together (It's worth flying around and trying multiple spots).
If you are having trouble seeing the snow/weather, it helps to stick around dark/shadowed areas where it's easier to see it. Kaldorei Wind Chimes can be of great help here. (Thank you, Crystalinn, for the tip!)
Phasing does not seem to be an issue with spawns EXCEPT for the Sons of Hodir quest line areas.
CRZ's (cross realm zones) may cause you to see a bunch of spawns as you fly over, then when you land you find they've disappeared. This is frustrating, but normal. (Minfernal, I'm looking at you! *shakes fist*)

Edit #3:
Cleaned up the post's lack of capitalization. Happy collecting, fellow tamers!

Edit #4:
People are still asking about when it snows. Please read the first paragraph I quoted from Wowwiki. The snow is random. I highly suggest parking an alt or two in Storm Peaks and logging in on them to check once in a while for snow. You'll have a much better chance of catching it snowing that way. Remember to park them near a dark area or tree so you can see it better!

Edit #5:
It has been mentioned that CRZ's may have a part in those seeing snow with no spawns. The idea behind this is that you are seeing snow from a different realm than yours. Try logging out and then back in. If someone would like to try and confirm this with a GM (screenshot, please!), that would be great. Even if this is true, just keep trying! Eventually you should come across snow from your home realm. Good luck, friends!

Комментарий от woddles0812

i just flew all over storm peaks for half an hour while it was not snowing and there isnt a single fox in the entire zone

Комментарий от eDGe87

For the argumenting about them being up wether it's snowing or not:

Could be that they spawn while it's snowing, and then are up for an X amount of time, even if it stops snowing. Sounds like the most reasonable reason to me.

Комментарий от woddles0812

Комментарий от 1042064

Happened to log in at a good time, it was snowing and I found a few of these. First one - uncommon, second one - rare. I guess I was pretty lucky, but anyway, there were even more, I just didn't fight them anymore.
And it wasn't after any kind of reset, so the blizzards can spawn at random times too ("duh"), so keep logging in every now and then :)

Комментарий от Roesia

Just logged in to my alt I left flying above Snowdrift Plains to find Storm Peaks in the height of a blizzard. It took one week of logging in for no more than 30-60 seconds per day before I happened on the snowy weather. I was able to catch two poor-quality foxes, but every single one of the 21 foxes I battled travelling the entire zone were ALL poor quality.

On the up-side, 75% of those 21 foxes had a rare L22 Mountain Skunk as a second.

The commenter, Hetel, was insanely lucky.....

Комментарий от 1043733

I have been working on my battle pet achievements instead of leveling my characters, as I feel that once everyone is done leveling/gearing up, they will start pet battling, hence making it really difficult to compete for rare pets such as this one. The cross realm feature isn't helping either.

The Arctic fox kit is really giving me a run for my money. I've been "parked" above the snow drifts for days now and I have yet to see a snow storm.

I feel that Blizzard is being unfair with the weather dependent pets. There are just too many of them. There should only be one weather pet as opposed to almost a dozen like the Baby Ape, Silithid Hatchling...to name a few.

Good luck to all of us I guess and I will make sure to post an update with details if I catch one.

Update: Ok so today I logged in at 12:00pm sharp and it seemed that it had just started to snow although Blizz claims that the weather pattern is random. The Arctic Fox kit started to spawn 2 minutes later. Circled the whole snowdrift plains a bunch of times and found approximately 25 foxes over the course of an hour and a half. I'm on Uldaman. It snowed for the entire time. My advice to you in order to get this pet is to "park" one of your alts over the snowdrift plans and log in a few times a day. Chances are, you will log in during a snow storm at some point, even if it takes you a week or 2. Another tip is to not tell your guild or friends that it is snowing or else the word will spread and the competition will get rough. As a matter of fact, don't even talk about it in chat either. Just keep battling and you will get your rare. Good luck!

Комментарий от mcdisney2001

Yes, it does have to be snowing for these to spawn. No, you can't always see the snow!

The snowstorm starts and ends VERY lightly; so lightly, in fact, that I saw no snowflakes whatsoever until I moved into the shadow of a tree. So go into the shadows if you want to be sure not to miss the very first (or last) flakes. This was even with the graphics on my computer set fairly high.

At first, only two spawned at the southern location, but as the snow got heavier they were spawning on the spot everywhere there was level enough ground for them. The map above is accurate, but don't skip the spawn points that look less populated on the map; there are plenty in all of those spots once the snow starts coming down.

I didn't keep track, but it probably took me around 15 fights to find a Rare. It was around 1 am server time on a week night, and there was no other competition. All I did was park a character on another server in a good spot, and check her real quick every once in awhile.

Комментарий от 916742

I am sure this is simply reiterating what others have said but I got one today about 1300 server time, 1400 Central time. I logged in and it was BARELY snowing. I couldn't even tell it was snowing when I was flying. Nevertheless, there were flakes falling that hadn't been there any other time I logged in.

I snatched the first one I saw (white), I didn't see a green until #12, and #15 produced a blue. I left for 5 minutes and returned to find all the fox spawns were now replaced with spiders and there was no snow. I was in storm peaks about 18 minutes. I logged in to find it snowing so I don't know how long it went total.

Комментарий от Audacity92

Got mine around about 7:40am GMT+1 on the Snowdrift Plains.

It helps a lot to log several characters out over these rare spawns and just log them periodically, only 3 rares left to go now!

Комментарий от Aletheua

To add my two cents, I did not and could not catch this pet unless it was snowing in Storm Peaks. I finally logged in right after a snow storm and caught the last one I saw in the zone. They are sneaky little devils.

After trying for more than a week to get this little guy, I only caught a Poor Quality version of him, and during the week, frequently scanning the entire zone more than once a day, I can confirm to the best of my knowledge that you can not see them unless you are lucky enough to either log in during a snow storm, or just after.

Hope this helps.

Комментарий от DoraTE

These are the only battle pets that spawn as first pets in Storm Peaks. So if you see a battle pet on the minimap it will be an Arctic Fox Kit with two other pets. I battled about 12, and the best I saw was a common quality one, but I did pick up a rare Arctic Hare, and a rare Highlands Skunk.

Capturing this pet, or one of its companions is needed for the northrend tamer achievement.

Pro tip, bind interact with target to a key, then button mash that key moving around whilst you have the pet targeted. Especially good for those on the sides of hills.

Комментарий от DarthEnder

Just a quick question about knowing if it's snowing.

Now, in storm peaks, if I look up, I can see the stars. Even during the daytime.

Is this true even during snow? Or does the sky at least cloud over?

Комментарий от Mushalor

No one else seems to be mentioning an important and unpleasant fact that I discovered today upon seeing snow: questing phases affect your ability to nab these. Several areas I never quested in on any of my characters, including Frostfield and the area with the polar bear dailies. Dozens of spawns, and no way to reach them upon landing.

Комментарий от Xella

Keep in mind that—just like Jaguero Isle vs. the rest of the Cape of Stranglethorn for the Baby Ape—each sub-zone's weather is different. If it's not snowing in Snowdrift Plains, check by the Temple of Life or K3, or vice verse. A few minutes of extra flying around might save you hours of alt/server hopping!

Комментарий от 526086

Compared to the Alpine Foxling, the Arctic Fox Kit is MUCH smaller.

Just some info for you other enthusiast.

Комментарий от 683070

The good news is that when it is snowing, these pets are fairly common. I found them all across the zone while it was snowing, so you don't need to worry about missing them when they are up. About 75% of the ones I found were uncommon.

Комментарий от Neama

"Okay, I get that the Alpine Foxling Kit can be found in The Storm Peaks, but where in The Storm Peaks would be a good place to look for it?"

Snowblind Hills. Definitely Snowblind Hills. That's the open space in the south where you have the Sparksocket Minefield, K3 and Garm.

There's about 7-10 spots here where they seem to spawn pretty frequently (5-10 mins), when it's snowing.

Like quite a few other players have mentioned; the snow can sometimes be tricky to spot since it's not snowing that heavily. Sometimes you'll have to be still for a few seconds before you can see the snowflakes slowly falling in front of you.

It's been snowing for more than 2 hours for me now, but I'm sure that the time snowing may differ a lot.

Good luck!

Комментарий от 1057602

Just caught several of these, while it was snowing in Storm Peaks on a Friday night at 11:30-ish until 11:55p.m.
Right when it hit 11:55 the arctic hare I was about to dual with vanished. At some points I could couldn't see the blizzard going on. You will have to look around if you keep a toon parked there.

From what I could see, you only have about a 25 minute window to capture your battle pet. I caught 2 uncommon s and several lesser grades; however, I did go into battle to find a rare Arctic Hare and a rare Spider. Sadly, I already had three arctic hares so I had to settle for the more commonly found rare spider.

Комментарий от illiterate

By far the best place to find them is the northwest corner. They spawn very quickly there.

Комментарий от xeromem7

Caught mine on Queldori server at 10:22. No snow for about five min before. Still no snow ten min after. Graphic settings are on high. Maybe they last longer after snows than originally thought- like the baby apes.

Комментарий от LeeShu

While you are waiting for snow you can do a few things to make time pass faster and to do some profit. You can farm materials for profession ( now with CRZ materials are quite hard to find and you can sell them or keep them to level up profession on other char), you can search for Затерянный во времени протодракон and check for Оскверненный дракончик since icecrown is right next to stormy peaks.

Ive spent a few hours trying to get this "Last" pet I need in zone, Ive toons camped on 5 realms & still no snow, How often does it snow I havent seen anyone posting this info

Комментарий от lphomiej

I was hunting these at the edges of CRZ areas. It was apparently snowing there for a long time. Anyway, the area was around the edges of Dun Nifflem's Lake. It took some effort to actually tag them before i went into the different phase, but it worked for me. Caught a rare after 10ish tries.

I just got mine today after searching and searching for days. It wasn't snowing as far as I could tell, but I got mine at 35.48, 83.67.
Good Luck :)

Комментарий от Littlesteve

I went to Brunnhildar Village right as dailies reset so I could do my polar bear daily and it began to snow just after the reset. Is there possibly a correlation between daily resets and the weather changing?

Комментарий от blkdeath75

Not sure what the weather schedule is for Storm Peaks but I have had an alt here in the area for a couple weeks. Unless my luck is that bad I have yet to see it snow here. Took me about a week to just get Northrend Tamer when I finally found an arctic hare wandering near the giant hole in the ground(can't remember area's name).

As far as snowing.....never seen any.

Snowdrift Plains
After searching for this pet and snowy weather for a long time this was the place where I found them.
Just like someone said he found them when flying from tournament grounds to storm peaks.
Sure enough, I gave it a shot and scored.
I recommend.

Комментарий от 488534

Today was the first time I tried looking for these and found some at Terrace of the Makers. I checked other areas first but it wasn't snowing in those places, so I would suggest maybe going around to the different areas where these spawn until you find an area that's snowing. Good luck!

Комментарий от m4zurka

look carefully because it's possible to miss the fact that it's snowing, at least with my graphics settings. i didn't think i saw any snow when i landed at the windrider, and as i got on my mount and flew around a bit i could just see a couple of snowflakes here and there. only when i stopped moving did it look like it was really coming down. i found a poor quality one right away and killed it by accident with a critical hit :(. i had to fly around for a while to find another, but as luck would have it the second one i found was a rare!

happy hunting!

Комментарий от cupcakey

Just got my foxy!

I logged on for a second before bed to check on my toons parked in Tanaris, that island where the baby apes are, and Storm Peaks. Didn't see any weather at the first two places, or in Storm Peaks. Then, just as I was about to hit esc to log off (about 1:35 am PST), I see the snow coming down! I started frantically flying around and didn't see any pets! For about 6 minutes I flew around southern Storm Peaks with no paws. I checked my Track Pets, it was checked. I landed and flew back up, still no pets. So, a little disheartened, I started flying around the rest of Storm Peaks. Finally at 1:48 I saw it! One lonely green paw in the northwest area near Val-whateveritscalled. Made sure I had 3 level 25 pets ready to go (can't take any chances!) and finally got my fox kit and Northrend achievement. It's poor quality, but I saved a stone just for it!

Some have commented that when it starts to snow these pets are abundant. There were about 4 other toons flying around Snowblind Hills with me searching, but I don't think they saw any fox kits either. Long story short, if it starts snowing and you don't see any pets in your immediate area, fly around everywhere you can!

Also, in retrospect, I might have chosen to park my toon in an area other than K-3/Snowblind Hills, since most people probably look there first as well. Good luck on your hunt!

Комментарий от Daherado

Im pretty sure its always snowing at Thunderfall, and theres a mark on the wowhead map too, but ive been flying around and nothing so far.
Seems to me the snow is just part of this particular area, and not the normal weather.
Dont bother camping Thunderfall....

Комментарий от whiskeydeath

I decided to try my luck and head out there after the "weekly maintenance" time had ended. Got out there maybe 35 minutes after the Blizz time 11am and it was snowing.

Not sure if this is always the case, but it's something to keep in mind.

I got mine a few minutes ago 3:45 est in the mountians just north of brunnhildar village. Two were spawned. I got a rare and announced in trade chat. Happy hunting!

Update/summary of relevant information:

- For the Arctic Fox Kit, it must be snowing in Storm Peaks
- When it snows in Storm Peaks, it snows everywhere, so make sure you know all the spawn points, and just do circuits round the whole zone, because....
- About 75% of the Arctic Fox Kit spawn points are on one of the flight paths for the Time-Lost Proto-Drake, so you can try your luck there as well.
- I got most of my luck with the Fox Kit on the plain just east of The Engine Of The Makers & also on the southern east-west stretch of the Snow-drift Plains
- i got a blue rare in about 20 minutes, after about 12-15 battles (& if you know Storm Peaks, you know how much of that was flight time!)
- Arctic Fox Kit is always the primary pet (ie, never a secondary add), but...
- There are 1-2 random pet spawns round the zone roughly every hour or so, even when it doesn't snow, and they will be mountain skunks and/or arctic hares, with at least one rare every single battle - the highest concentration of rares i've ever seen in a zone.

Комментарий от 826041

If it has to be snowing, then maybe I can't see it. I've gone through three battles over the course of 2 hours and it's not snowing - they are few and far between but I'm finding these guys and it is NOT snowing.... screenshot here.

I couldn't see the snow unless I was still. From Low to Good settings it was the same, though on Good I have lag so I didn't keep it there. Kind of confusing, although you can find plenty if you fly around enough you can fly for a little bit and see no Kits and wonder, is it still snowing? Then you stop and it is. Though they are spread out a bit it seems I saw plenty until I caught a rare and left. Another one to park an alt for and check periodically. Though I flew here after I caught a Silithid Hatchling and it was snowing as it was still storming in the other area. It may be a coincidence but I still say its worth it to check.

Комментарий от collide9

It looks like the spawn time of Arctic Fox Kit is now shorter. Every time I visit Storm Peaks and traverse the TLPD spawn route, there are multiple spawns of AFK. I did this on different times of the day confirming my observation. Some of the time it wasn't snowing at all. Needlessly, I could not get anymore of this pet as I already have 3 rares.

Комментарий от Mysticallyme

Finally after searching for this little guy for weeks, imeediately after server reset I went to ice crown to look for a scourged whelping, that I did not find. So I headed over to storm peaks to look for an arctic fox kit and low and behold there were a few running around and I captured an uncommon first try.
Just to note, it was not snowing!

so key maybe after reset.

good luck and hope this helps.

Комментарий от 960490

After server up I went to check on this pet, it was NOT snowing and lots were spawned around the zone.

I repeat. It was NOT Snowing.

Комментарий от Teevo

Something I noticed was that it doesn't snow all over Storm Peaks. It snows in little areas all over the zone.. some more heavily than others. This is something that I believe is being overlooked or misinterpreted.

So for people saying they got theirs when it wasnt snowing, the pet could very well have wandered out of the snowing area. But the fact remains that it needs to be snowing for them to spawn.

Got my rare version after about a dozen this past weekend. Flew all over the zone, some areas were snowing while some were not. But the zone had snow nonetheless. The dots on the map above are pretty accurate for the most part, so I'd still recommend using the map as a general guide.

Also, I would note the snow isn't as easy to spot as one might think. My graphics are by no means low, and it was definitely tricky to the eye at certain times.. while other times it was fairly easy to see.

So if you're after this guy, dont just fly in to Storm Peaks on the very border and leave if its not snowing (like I did for a week straight). It may very well be snowing but you wouldnt know it til you flew around a bit!

Комментарий от Josyx

Will I ever find this pet? It's the last one I need to have captured one in every zone and get the achievement for that.. so frustrating!

COME ON SNOW!

Комментарий от Naggash

It was snowing on 26.02, about from 01.45 to 02.30. WHOLE storm peaks had snow, so its kinda random ( ie for some it is snowing in some sub zone, for others it is snowing in the whole zone). I did 1 full circle on hot spots, about 25fights with no luck on rare. When i started on doing 2nd circle - rare has spawned, yay! Still took me ~30mins. After the catch i still was in zone to check out time lost drake and snow stopped at ~02.30.
To get this little bugger i parked 3 characters on different realms and was checking 3-4 times a day.So its a very good idea to park different characaters in there. Good luck!

Комментарий от 1071314

Just flew in to check if it was snowing, it was and he was on the ground below Bor's Breath, finally got him, spent a fair amount of time searching for him.

There were quite a few of them around, it looks like they boosted the spawn, but it definitely does have to be snowing.

The Snowstorm hit at 9:20am on my server this morning. I had time to get an uncommon and I didn't want to hog up all of the kits so I left. Btw, it was still snowing when i left the area.

Комментарий от zinseng

Woke up this morning and it happened to be snowing at 6:45 st. It's 7 now and still snowing.

Couple of notes I wanted to add here for additional confirmation:
After getting my kit for the achievement, I tried flying around looking for a rare. The snow (which was very heavy in Snowblind Hills where I started) was extremely light in much of the rest of the zone. To the point that I had to stop moving to see the flurries were still going.

I engaged combat with about 12 kits that I saw scattered around the zone. They were not "all over the place" as someone mentioned. I flew around the entirety of the zone and there were about 14 spawns up at the time. Of the 12, 2 were uncommon, 1 rare.

Also, since people are asking about how often it snows, I'll add my very small bit of info here; I started camping this pet 24 hours ago. I logged on to check if it was snowing about every 25 mins for the first 16 hours, then went to bed, woke up and 15 mins later it started snowing. But if you read other posts on weather, you'll find that the weather in game is generated completely at random.

Good luck to all of you!

Also if I may add, a reminder.. if you're looking for your rare, you can engage in combat and then forfeit. If you forfeit, the spawn will reappear for the next guy who is trying to get his achievement. So, let's not scream about despawning them needlessly, unless people are actually killing the spawns nonstop trying to get a rare up. I use the forfeit method to find my rares, I refuse to screw someone else out of an achieve or pet they might have been working at for weeks or days or even hours.. their time is as valuable as mine.

Комментарий от HollyIsley

In my search for the elusive Unborn Val'kyr I flew through Storm Peaks several times on different servers. I noticed numerous kits around without it snowing in the sub-zones I was in at the time. Maybe Blizzard changed the requirement for this pet, or maybe it's glitched due to the patch...either way I'd come get one if you need it before it is changed again. I am currently looking at one without a single snowflake visible at 27.34 / 44.92 in the Snowdrift Plains. I am on Shandris, but who knows which coalesced realm I am in because of CRZ. It is 3:37am realm time according to the clock on my minimap.

Just for fun, I created a couple quick macros of some of the points listed above as well as the points for the Unborn Val'kyr pet that spawns in this zone ONLY. (note: the Val'kyr spawns in 3 spots in EACH northrend zone! However, for your hunting purposes for the fox kit, I figured why not add the points for another super rare pet so you can check it along the way? The Unborn Val'kyr does spawn in other zones I just only included the spawn points for storm peaks.) You have to be in Storm Peaks to use these as I didn't want to have to make a ton of macros just to accomidate "Storm peaks" for each way point. Happy hunting!

While waiting for it to start snowing, patrolling around looking for the Unborn Val'kyr in one of its three spawn spots through zone is a fairly productive way to make the time pass.

Edit: Either that, or the Time-Lost Proto-Drake.

Комментарий от Amallah

After spending the majority of the time yesterday searching around Storm Peaks on two different servers, as well as an hour or so this morning, I've come to the conclusion that the Arctic Fox Kit is simply a phantom created by Blizzard in an attempt to drive me to insanity, and all of you are in on it. It's all so clear to me, now... Pull me in with the promise of pets and achievements, and with just one single non-existent entity, rip it all away from me. There is no Arctic Fox Kit, as I found out today. There is no chance of snow in The Storm Peaks.

I've also come to the harsh conclusion that the lack of weather in The Storm Peaks is a dangerous sign that global warming has penetrated the World... of Warcraft. The ice caps of Northrend are in danger of melting, and so I call upon you now to aid us in the restoration of global temperatures! Stop using mechano-hogs/choppers, stop using mechastriders, stop using motorized transportation! In the end, it all adds up to destruction! Heed my call now, all you who venture the World!

And now, I shall go check myself into the nearest mental facility and request a cat scan, as I'm sure this stunt by Blizzard has left permanent damage on my psyche.

Weather dependent. Must be snowing.

After hanging out in Storm Peaks for several days. It finally snowed.

Lasted for 45 minutes. Was easily able to find once it started to snow.

I battled 5 fox kits. 3 poor, 1 uncommon, 1 rare.

Комментарий от kas92

Just got mine today also.
I've been looking for snow for days now..
Its true, the snow is not always visible..
So don't bother looking for the weather,
just go somewhere the fox kit spawns and see if the pet is there!

Комментарий от DentargWonko

As mentioned before, it has to be snowing to get this pet. I checked this daily when my toon could get to Storm Peaks and never saw it snow. Once I started questing there, it finally happened. It took a few seconds for it to register... my first thought was, "That snowfall looks really cool... it actually looks like it does when it snows here at home. That's pretty good of them to make it.... WHAT? IT'S SNOWING? FINALLY!". Then, I giggled like a little girl and started hunting.

Here's what I did and what I learned:

Yes. It has to be snowing. Period.
I flew to every area where the map here shows they're found and engaged as many pets as I could and then surrendered. I did this in hopes those pets would show up on the map here via the Wowhead addon, but without killing pets that others may need. In doing this, I did find a rare, which made me pretty happy.
It was snowing in EVERY AREA in Storm Peaks. I found the fox kits in Snowdrift Plains, The Temple of Life area, Engine of Life area, Valkyrion area, Bor's Breath, and the area down by K3.
When flying, you sometimes see the snow and you sometimes don't. When I did see snow, it was very light. When I stopped flying, it was heavy.
When flying, altitude seemed to impact my ability to see snow, but not my minimap's ability to mark the battle pets. The lower the altitude, the better I could see it.

On a side note, my graphics are set to Ultra, so YMMV when it comes to what you see versus what I saw.

However, I think you can safely camp one area and not fly all over the zone looking for the weather to change. If you're questing and in an area where it's not snowing, I think you can safely expect that it's not snowing somewhere else. I also think you can safely expect to have enough time to fly around and find one of these if it does start snowing and you're in an area where they haven't spawned.

Hope this helps!

I just entered the Storm Peaks, checked the pet I was hunting "Only available during snow" ....
Darn another one of those damn weather pets! Wait... what the.. ?
*Starting to snow literally 20 seconds after I entered storm peaks*
Yay! Fly down to ground and take a random arctic fox kit to fight... it's a bloody rare!
Yes, I was happy, and I doubt I will ever be this lucky again in my entire life! ;)

Комментарий от 1037209

After reading most of the comments here are some important points to keep in mind:

1. Snowfall is hard to see, so try setting your graphics to high if they are set otherwise. Also FLY LOW! -spotting the flurries from very high up is nearly impossible.

2. Imcanter here says the duration of the snowfall was 45 minutes, someone else 20... I can't confirm on that. When I caught my kit it went on for about 10 minutes at most, then it ceased. So no idea really.

3. Even if you can't see that it's snowing the green paw icons will show as usual on the mini map, so you can safely rely on that at least.

4.Калдорайская "песня ветра" Are extremely useful if you have them as they allow you to read the weather... (I guess they come in handy for catching other weather dependant pets!) They only fly in the ointment: they are a rare Archaelology item (Night Elf) *Thank you Crystalinn for the suggestion to use this item :)

3. If you are very keen on getting your fox kit, rather than camping and running around the whole map I'd say set your hearthstone to K3. The plain just north of there was abundant with pets -whilst there be snow of course. (Again thanks to Valexani for location)

4. Once you are ready to catch your pet I strongly suggest having a Зловещая репка on your team: Ослабляющий удар is extremely useful at capturing pets since you are able to bring your target to 1 health without fear of killing it (the last thing you want to do!). With that your pet trap can't miss!

Happy Hunting and Good Luck!

When it does snow is it the whole zone or just a localized area?

Комментарий от Wakamaru

Finally picked one of these up immediately following rolling restarts for all servers. Caelestrasz-US, Storm Peaks - The Summit. Grabbed the first one I spotted just for good measure, then found a rare 2 more Kits later.

Prior to this, I have posted an alt in the zone to check back with regularly. Over the course of a few weeks, I never saw snow nor foxes with that character until right after the server restart.

I happened to get extremely lucky and picked up a rare 3 kills in. But i can confirm that in Patch 5.4 It must be snowing. I waited in zone (Snowblind hills specifically) for about 20 minutes at 11:30PM PST right before it started snowing they started popping up. Good luck everyone!

FINALLY

7 Dec 13, 2:15p, Twisting Nether-

guildie let me know they were up, I had enough time to switch toons and port up (thank god for the Argent tabard!) and got a blue on my third go :D

It is still snowing 15 minutes later so I guess the snow time can vary greatly from the comments I've read. Also, when I got here the snow was very obvious but now it's down to a light flurry you can't see unless you're standing still, so stop occasionally if you're not sure if it's snowing as well.

Out of curiosity went to Jaguaro to look for the ape and it wasn't raining, so doubtful that they have any correlation just FYI.

FINALLY YOU DAMN FOX! *fistshake*

Комментарий от Depressionrogue

Hello mates. There's something I'd like to share with you everyone. My in-game name is Depression and I heard my issue would somehow fit in my name. First things first;

Have fun trying to solve What does the fox say. It is indeed an ancient mystery.

but quess what..

You may find it rather odd for me to farm this long time for a friggin tiny, useless and most of everything the rarest pet in the world, they said. *cough*

I've been farming for 52hours, I've had 3.5hours sleep and if you tell me it has been snowing during the time I've slept blizzard is.. wait ? what blizzard and end of the story.

I made a ticket conserning the randomly generating weather thing and there MIGHT be a little problems with it, so the question is.. How often does it snow might cling to someones head? How messed up can it be it isnt snowing? Afterall I'm at the famous so called "Storm" peaks. Quote from edited ticket;

50 hours no snowing during this time. Rather odd. And yes I play these graphics on ultra so I can see the snow, oh wait... what snow?

I understand, here in Finland it hasnt been snowing at all during the christmas not to mention christmas eve, and betweem that and what so ever... WHAT A COINCIDENCE!

"Storm" peaks should be looking a little pale by now according to the amount of snow there has been lately, just like here, in Finland. I'm amazed how it can be so stormy in there. I recall hearing something what makes "storm" peaks so dangerous, and no wonder! Please if you can avoid going to the "storm" peaks I'd hereby suggest you to stay away from there, bad things happen in there. It's dangerous and very stormy there. (Where did all that snow get in there btw?)

I have a theory.. It isn't snow. It's poo and you can blame it on the dwarves. Regards a Belf Horde.

And to the point, If you're trying to catch arctic fox kit I feel from the bottom of my heart pity on you. Please remember how much I was having fun while farming for this pet;
-I havent encountered a SINGLE Arctic fox kit in 52 hours of farming, 3.5hours breaks in total. (sleep) and loooots of hours of playing awaiting me I assume.

Someone may or may not have been lucky with this one, like me? but I only know people that has visited in storm peaks and got their arctic fox kit. I'm farming for this in order to get my achievement.

Not sure if this will help anyone but after searching for this elusive pet for 4 long agonizing months I happened to be at the right place at the right TIME. This creature will only appear if it is snowing. I was beginning to think that it never snowed in Storm Peaks.

It snows on Saturday mornings from between 9:00 and 10:30. I went back on following Saturdays to verify the snow time and it does appear that it snows about this time.

If anyone can add additional times or verify this for others I'm sure they will be grateful. I know it could have saved me a lot of pain. Good Luck in your search!

Since weather is realm dependable, one good way to increase the chance to experience snowing in Storm Peaks is to use oQueue addon and get in groups on different realms. I managed to get onto a realm that had snowing weather after a couple of tries.

Комментарий от geekygirlish

Seriously, for all the accumulated snow on the ground in the Storm Peaks, it never seems to snow!

I finally got this elusive pet taking a short cut thru the peaks and happened to see an orc pet battling and moused over to see what it was. A fox kit! He then killed it, and not in a pet battle way. I sobbed over its poor dead common corpse. It didn't appear to be snowing so I figured it was a left over. Mounted up and carried on and there up the hill was another! Again, it didn't look like it was snowing and it was only a poor but I grabbed him and got the ach.

And for all the PITA this pet is to get, couldn't Blizz at least added one cool move instead of it being an exact talent set of every other fox?

Note that elevation plays a part in it. I was around 34, 49, and it wasn't snowing on the ground. I went to do a pet battle up on the mountain, and when I flew up, I noticed it was snowing and *poof* it was there waiting for me to capture.

Note - don't be picky if it's not rare. I got it and completed the "Northrend Safari".

Only moments ago I was flying around the NW Val'kyr spawnpoint and noticed 3 of these little guys wandering around, yet it wasn't snowing. I landed, just to be sure: still no FALLING sow. I recall how elusive mine was to catch, signing in on alts for ages to check if it was snowing, so I checked here for any mention of Bliz nerfing the requirements for this pet.

I really don't know what to make of it. About 32, 48 and not snowing (but the game seems to think it's snowing), 3 spawns, 14:40ish realm time on Caelestrasz. For what it's worth. No idea if this will help anyone who has yet to catch this pet, but I guess... don't immediately rule it out if you don't see snowfall.

I've seen these twice, once near K3 and I accidently killed it, and once I saw two on the snowdrift plains but I was on a flight path and they were gone when I came back. I decided to look for them while I worked on herbalism today and go figure, not one all day...

Been flying around looking for a snow storm for quite some time. Being called Storm Peaks, I can't really say the zone is giving credit to its name. -.-

Комментарий от Nnuggrat

Search the mountain peaks, found snow here, and little foxes were wandering around.

Комментарий от Opalskye

The snow graphic is an oddity! I have all my settings to max as I was paranoid I wouldn't see the snow after reading the other comments. What I can say about it is that when it snows it starts very lightly - maybe 10 flakes on the screen, it progressively gets heavier and seems to localise around your character. I tested this theory by flying away after it began snowing, as I flew it seemed to have stopped, so I stopped moving - the snow built up again. I looked back to where I was previously and I could see a localized blizzard.

My recommendations are to pick a spot where the foxes are known to spawn (snowdrift plains or snowblind hills have most recorded captures and are clipped by the flight paths of Vyragosa and TLPD) and just camp there. The kits spawn as soon as the code says "SNOW!" - before you can see it. I saw the green paw on my minimap before there was snow on screen (even the slight flurry business - this is why I tested the graphics after catching).

I caught mine in front of the Dwarf/Giant construct in Snowdrift Plains. Was just before 18:00 server time. I'd been camping the spot north of K3 for weeks previously (1-2 hour sessions at a time every other day or so), today I decided to be a bit more dedicated and moved between Snowdrift and Snowblind, eventually stopping for 2+ hours at Snowdrift.

To those still hunting can I ask a favour? Please strike up a conversation in general chat regarding if it's snowing - help each other to get this pet, even now there are people still hunting for it and it's pretty elusive/random. It was great to see some team spirit today on the Azuremyst/Stormrage EU CRZ battlegroup, lots of people helping each other out :)

Комментарий от Nimrod

First time I've seen it snowing in Storm Peaks in a couple of weeks.

No fox kits anywhere in the zone, and no other player activity that I've seen (and nobody responded in general chat).

Getting tired of these CRZ bugs.

Комментарий от hurleur

For anyone trying to farm for this little devil.

I recently opened a ticket asking why it was snowing in the Storm Peaks but there were no kits to be seen anywhere.
This is the response I got:

Looking over your ticket here i understand you're having some problems getting the Arctic Fox Kit. Now this pet can actually be pretty tricky to get now with cross realm zones, and connected realms, and the reason I say this is because in order for him to actually show up it must be snowing on your home realm. Since this is a connected realm and a cross realm zone you can actually end up seeing snow for other realms, but since it isn't snowing on your home realm you won't see the Arctic Fox Kit. I know this pet can be hard to get as it took me a couple weeks to get him, but if you just keep camping him out you will eventually get the snow for your home realm and get him to spawn for you. =) If there is anything else we can assist you with please let us know!

Комментарий от 1402117

I don't know if something changed today, but I've been looking for this guy forever with no luck. However today I went out, not a flake of snow to be found, and these guys were all over the place.

Комментарий от 1446747

I logged on tonight at around 7:25pm server time and it just happened to be snowing! There they were, arctic fox kit pets all over central Storm Peaks! I was curious to see how long the snowstorm (weather) would last so I continued to track them down and capture them until the snowstorm stopped. At 8:25pm server time the snow stopped and I ended up with a level 20 rare Arctic Fox Kit and 2 level 21 uncommon Arctic Fox Kits. While it's said that it's completely random, (the time of occurrence and the length of time that the snowy weather begins), it was practically an hour in my case and it was just shy of the mid hour. I hope this helps anyone in search of this awesome pet, happy hunting!

Комментарий от BlizzardCS

Hello, pet collectors!

At the moment there’s an issue related to this pet. Basically it won’t always spawn when the correct weather conditions are happening, making it a bit more difficult to catch one. Our developers are aware of this and investigating. :)

Комментарий от Skyweaver

I am pretty sure that this is still a cross-realm issue. I had literally been camping this for weeks on Dragonblight-EU realm with no success, and just tonight decided to give it a whirl on my another character on Bladefist-EU. Found the pet from the first place I checked near K3.

Комментарий от Random0182

Finally found it after an hour just north of K3. Kept switching servers using premade groups.. Can confirm needs need be a snow storm for it to pop up.

Комментарий от Bikkin

Realm hopping via the group finder tool will let you find weather-dependent pets very quickly.

Комментарий от JXBx

I stayed in one spot (the cluster area near snowdrift plains) and server hopped. Took me 15 minutes to find one. Use LFR groups that are open for server hopping (don't be annoying and join groups that are actually looking for help!) Happy hunting!

Комментарий от Noobiedoobie

Well I don't know about snow, but where ever I go it is very, very windy. I see snow in the air and think HOORAY!

Then I can't find any of these little cretins. I came back on here and looked at the screenshots rather than the comments and discovered you can actually see snowflakes (or I'm hoping I will be able to).

I can't play with the graphics turned up to max so in the distance it looks kinda fuzzy, or is that snowy? Its hard to tell.

When I got the ape pet in Stranglethorn I had to wait for rain. I cranked up the volume and did housework and when it rained it was very obviously raining. Snow is so soft so no weather sound alert. I couldn't even find an addon that would alert me when it rains/snows/windstorms etc.

I guess this is gunna take a while.

Комментарий от nirv

Some people have said it only snows in Storm Peaks in the evenings. Others say it snows only in certain areas at any given time as opposed to the entirety of Storm Peaks. I disproved both in a video I made for myself not intending to upload it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jcaq7SoSpw

Others have said phasing in Storm Peaks due to quest progression is another reason you may not be able to see snow. I can't speak for those who have finished most of the quests there, but I did maybe a total of 6 quests total there.

Комментарий от tstalcupjr

I can attest that using Premade Group Finder works for obtaining this pet. I stayed around /way 32.8, 49.28 and just kept joining random groups. Area-52 was the one that finally worked for me after joining 35 others. I kept an alphabetized spreadsheet handy so I knew which servers I had joined. Just as I was about to give up, I joined Area-52 and immediately the green paw symbol showed up on my mini-map. I actually saw that before I saw the snow.

Don't give up, it's worth it. Took me 30 minutes.

When the snow stop the fox disapear :( got mine tonight :)

Park an alt or two in several spots around storm peaks, logging in a few times just to check now and then. Don't worry too much about seeing or not seeing the snow if you are running ultra graphics. There are varying degrees of the snow, the heavy snow is similar to the snow that you will see when it snows in the horde garrison. They spawn all over zone and you might see a different pet, but most of them will be the fox kit. I caught mine in snowdrift plains at 12:20 am pst. I found snowy weather again a couple weeks later flying through the area and it was in the afternoon. Fox kits everywhere, didn't find a rare but doesn't matter now with the WoD expansion and the rare battle stones that apply to any family of pet. I do NOT recommend waiting for hours at a time for the snow, you will be wasting your time. Park your alts and log in and out every so often or you will go mad from waiting.

Комментарий от Hotbuttons

Finally got mine last night, but did notice that while I was farming for Nexus Whelpling the Arctic Fox Kit was a secondary pet in one of the battles.

Комментарий от loltrix

I just flew a char/alt to Snowdrift Plains.
Then i Serverjumped ONE time as it was not snowing on my realm.
I know, its an a**hole thing to do.. But after the baby ape days of camping in stranglethorn i was a bit fed up with "weather pets".
Took one jump, and i caught it, it was the last on my list...
Really don't feel good about the serverjump, but well... got it done, FAST.

Комментарий от CataBreed

Well after a numerous amount of jumps ( a good hour) into other realms it finally snowed on Misha ( IKR). Common and uncommon in the Snowdrift plains! 26.69, 44.19 10pm GMT Time and 9pm Server

Good luck all and let it snow!

Weird, I started realm hopping to find this pet, and I ended up on a realm where there's a lot of them at the Snowdrift Plains even though it's not snowing? My graphics/particles option is high too, and I've tried moving from zone to zone to make the snow appear and it just hasn't.

Oh well, I'm hunting for my rare right now. Not gonna complain. If you're having trouble finding this pet and you're realm hopping for it, make sure you check around for the spawns even if you don't see the weather effect. I've made sure they were not just left-over spawns from a previous snowstorm, because I keep killing them as I hunt for my rare and they respawn.

Комментарий от Nevarii

Just got my Arctic Fox Kit for the Northrend Safari achievement. It was my second time checking Storm Peaks for the pet and actually I didn't see the snow at first. I was a bit high over the ground but then I saw an Arctic Fox Kit on the minimap and flew down. The snow appeared for me when I landed. After I got the pet I checked the snow which was still there until I flew too far up. For some reason you don't see the snow if you are a bit too high up in the air. At least I needed to fly a bit close to the ground or walk directly on the ground before the snow appeared for me. It is a bit tricky but at least you can see the pet on the minimap with your "Track pets" :)
Good luck!

Global Warming is real. It never snows in Storm Peaks. The ice caps are melting. Before long, Pandora will be under water.

Комментарий от Aoratox

Just captured one of these at the Snowdrift Plains (northwest of Storm Peaks). It wasn't snowing on my realm, so I tried a couple of other realms through the premade group finder tool. Some generous people offer a realm hop group now and then. I can confirm you're able to capture these cross-realm, where wheather conditions may be different from your own realm.

Happy hunting!

Комментарий от linthade

After checking in several times a day on the Snowdrift Plains, realm hopping using the CRA tool 6-10 times on each visit, I logged in today at 7:15pm EST (Stormrage) and it was snowing. Three Fox Kits around me. Screenshot included.

Комментарий от brudarek

Finally found 1 (well 3 actually) in snowdrift plains after years of looking, and it wasn't even snowing. Wonder if blizz fixed/changed something with these.

Комментарий от Janerlea

If you have your graphics turned down the weather can be VERY hard to see. I just caught an uncommon after camping the zone for days but couldn't see a flake in the sky. If you're camping this I'd turn your effects up as far as your computer will allow.

Комментарий от usulnet

I was finally able to get an Arctic Fox Kit today. I have to say even with graphics all the way up I could not see the snow at all unless I was pet battling. Your best bet is to track pets and mouse-over the targets and/or use a targeting macro to look for them. Otherwise you risk passing them by if you're simply looking for it to be snowing.

It wasn't snowing when I got here and never snowed the whole time I was here.

Apparently, they must have fixed the "no snow" thing because they're not popping up anymore and I just sat in Snowdrift Plains for over 4 hours and no snow, as well as no fox kit.

Комментарий от Barbdreams

Hunted it for 2.5 days, def did not appear when it wasn't snowing.

Finally found one at 73, 65 area but it was between zones, and kept phasing out - took me a good 15 min before I finally clicked on it, and it was on level terrain, and didn't disappear on me.

Комментарий от ZuugZuug

The Полярный лисенок can be found in Грозовая гряда "ONLY" when it is snowing. Some comments say it was not snowing when they caught one. This is likely because they did not have their graphics cranked up. I found one and it was not snowing, BUT I turned my "Particle Density" up to High, and I was then able to see that it "was" in fact snowing. So I highly recommend turning up your particle density while looking for this pet. Also, as soon as it stopped snowing all of the Foxes disappeared, so they do not linger after it snows. Hope this helps!

Комментарий от StriderRyu

Anyone manage to engage the one on the precipice Southeast of Brunnhilda Village (around 51, 74)? I tried moving it around some with Меч из мягкого пенополимера, but there's not enough room to get it to disengage from combat so I can attempt to activate a pet battle while it runs back to its path (which works with other pets occasionally).

Комментарий от lightdrawn

The best advice I found here was to place an alt in the location (instead of traveling there with my mage), I still needed almost another week of login in the alt till I got snow (at K3) and my little fox. Thx + good luck + don't give up :)

Комментарий от chuilovestoads

Just spent a wasted 45 minutes flying around in the snow for no foxes to ever spawn. First and only time in 6 months I've managed to even see snow in the Storm Peaks, and no foxes. So, I come here, see comments about CRZ, so I try relogging, hoping that would help. It doesn't. I tried killing the non-rare pets, like spiders and such, hoping I could maybe force something new to spawn. No luck. In the end, the snow ended, and no fox ever appeared anywhere in the zone.

Комментарий от pmff

FINALLY caught this little bean after years of endless hunts and adjusting video quality hoping that it was snowing and I just couldn't see it...Half expected to find Time-Lost too since my luck seems so good today (but of course, I didn't).

Some info on my catch:
- I have done no quests in this zone on this character and encountered no phasing issues. While hunting previously on a character who had done the whole zone, I fought other pets successfully in the area with no phasing problems, but spawn locations may be different and may cause issues.
- I caught it just before noon server time right after server maintenance, unsure if that affects the snow timer since it's meant to be fully random, but worth a shot if you're still looking!
- The first one I caught was poor quality since I was just worried he'd disappear before my eyes after so many unsuccessful trips, but after ~15 or so battles I was able to find a rare.
- I did check the rest of the zone to see if it was snowing as I'd read that different parts of the zone can snow at a time and found the whole zone was snowing. I'm not sure if that was false/outdated info or if it just happened to all be snowing.

Hopefully some or all of this info was helpful to you, happy hunting, friends!

I also submitted a screenshot for the first one I found so you can see the snow in the background, but with even decent video settings it seems fairly obvious if you move your camera to dark areas.

Комментарий от RavenUK

Hi all, I had been after this pet (my last for Northrend and Zookeeper) for a few months now. Every day I would log on with 3 of my alts, spread round the map and in areas where its indicated they spawn. Not once in the weeks and weeks have I seen any snow or pets :(

So I was trying to find more intel and found on another site, that quite a few people had left comments about logging on at 11pm (10pm to me, in UK) at K2 area. It was snowing and there were lots of Fox Kits spawned. So set my ingame alarm for 9:55pm, logged off my Main. Onto my K2 placed Alt, well blow me down with a feather, soon as I come out the inn, its snowing like mad, cant even see the wall on the other side of the courtyard. Spilled my coffee, in the excitement to get mounted ASAP, coffee left to run down desk and onto my legs, I don't care I need this pet. Soon as airborne, fly over the wall at K2 and low and behold 2 pet icons appear on the map (still not wanting to be disappointed again, i thought well they will be the skunks again) move my mouse over to check and both Fox Kits, fly straight to nearest one and instigate battle. Its a green quality, I don't care I just need this pet. Battle goes well and I win, get my two achievements and still in shock.

Well being there and one more pet icon to go, I think why not. Also put a General message out, to let all know there up and spawned . Start battle and its grey quality, but I win anyway. As I fly round the K2 site, just to see what numbers are like, I find no less than 11 other Fox Kits all in the flat area round K2 camp.

So the comments on the other site were right, I just wanted to let anyone know how I got on. Along with what seems to be a reasonably correct method of finding a pet.

Wishing you all the very best of luck and hope this strategy works for you ALL.

After weeks of randomly logging into EU server to do my 'snow check' have just caught an elusive Arctic Fox Kit in Storm Peaks co-ords 29' 50 (south end of Snowdrift Plains) at 22.40pm and it was snowing everywhere.

Комментарий от thehebrewhand

If it helps anyone, I finally got my Arctic Fox Kit after logging in and finding that it was snowing in Stormwind. Because it's uncommon for that to happen as well, I decided to drop everything and port to Northrend to check on the Storm Peaks for snow, just in case. It took a few minutes to get there, and at first I figured "no correlation". As some people have said though, sometimes its not totally apparent that it's snowing (dependent upon a person's graphic's settings), so I took a better look at the screen, realized that it was snowing, searched a bit longer, and started seeing the foxes pop up all over!

I do want to be clear, this doesn't necessarily mean that the weathers in Stormwind and the Storm Peaks are linked or correlated, but if anyone wants to check, it may help to try checking up there if it's raining in SW!

Комментарий от Nileve5

So I did everything correctly. I had alt camping there and decided to check it, it was snowing, my Калдорайская "песня ветра" said that too. I started to check the spawn points, and not a single fox was up, the zone was deserted. I killed every other critters and battle pets in the zone for two hours, to make them spawm, but they didn't. I checked all the spawn points couple of times. I was on my own realm without any group finders or anything like that. The interesting part is that I checked the same realm from my main and no snowing, even the Калдорайская "песня ветра" said that was no snow. I did relog and restart the game couple of times to see this, and again no groups or anything like that. So same realm, same zone, different sharding on my characters and different weathers. But if the weather is correct it is still not up.
The snow though seems an updated animation, so I really think this is bugged. And it was snowing in all zones not long ago due to a bug.

Logged in at 5 pm, only hares around, no snow at all in all of Storm Peaks.
Came back at 8 pm, still no snow except some wind-blown snow near K3. About to flap somewhere else, I Move my mouse over the 2-3 catchable critters on my minimap: Arctic Hare, Arctic Hare... Fox Kit. A P/S one. White one, but who gives a hey, seeing how rare these foxes are. Now it rests in my bag safely upgraded to beat the Celestial Tournament. Weird concept of "snowing" Blizzard has. And yes, this last one was a pun. xD

2021 experience: Logged in at 9am server time (Feathermoon US) and it was SNOWING - yay! - but no pets. Nowhere. Snowed for at least an hour, I logged out and in and multiple characters were dragged there and I flew all over the zone and in and out of the zone trying to reset it. Gave up.
Logged in at 9pm server time same day (today) same server, and it was snowing lightly (less than this morning) Grabbed a Rare on my 3rd fight :)
Definitely some phasing this morning as mobs were coming and going but I wasn't realm hopping and I logged out COMPLETELY and restarted Battlenet and it still mucked up. FYI NW near the flight master is where I found 3 of them including the rare. Also, I run add-on NPC Time to check how long the uptime has been. In both cases my logging in had triggered the zone to come out of hibernation so the NPCs (even unkillables) showed Alive: 4 minutes 3 seconds etc. Not sure that helps anyone :)

I had 3 characters parked in different parts of the zone where WowHead shows concentrations of Fox Kits. I have been checking each of these characters several times per day to check for snow. Today, after about a week and a half of that, it is snowing in all 3 locations and Fox Kits in all 3. As a Midwesterner, I would call it a light snow with small flakes. It's been snowing for at least 20 minutes, now.

It takes about 10 seconds after logging in for the snow to actually appear (due to loading time perhaps?).

I thought this pet would be a bit more present in the zone when it was snowing, but I flew over the main snow pathways by Dun Niffelem and Brunnhildar Village while it was snowing - nothing. There were plenty in front of Snowblind Fields near K3 though. Also - it is true, it takes 10 seconds or so for it to show that it's snowing. I almost missed it while I was logging out, and the boyfriend said, "...isn't that snow?" Lol.

Of course NO Arctic Fox Kit to be seen anywhere, despite snowing on multiple occasions. I filed a bug report just in case.
Logged in at the time of writing this and the zone is full of em right now EU-Ravenholdt.
Hopefully some poor soul will see this in time and catch one to complete the achievement :D

Weather based pets are trash

I would recommend using the route furthest to the north-west when farming for the rare fox. Took me about 30 tries but got the fox after killing one blue after 10.

I've been flying around for 30+ minutes while it's snowing, and I haven't seen a single fox appear. I've also killed any critter I see to force a spawn, but no luck. Is this currently bugged?

So... I have currently 8 alts camping the area... It has been snowing for 1h and 4 mins... On 9th toon I zoned in Storm Peaks from Zul'drak and I immideatly see a fox... and as soon as I dismount to battle it, it disapeared... lovely.. I wrote a ticket and was greated with a bot msg "please check x y and z sites"

I see a lot of comments on here about not finding the pet even though it was snowing. I was flying around and the only pet icons that were showing on my mini-map were for rabbits and such. I landed near one of the spawn points and sure enough it was there to be caught. After I caught one I flew around to some other spawn points and found several others but no mini-map icon in site. Seems to me that the mini-map icon is busted for this pet.

Recently got into pet collecting so decided to go for this one. Started by randomly logging in and out of several trial toons on different low pop realms throughout the day. Caught it snowing a handful of times but there were NO Arctic Fox Kits. Zero. I flew around to every spawn point multiple times.

I wondered if the trial characters were the problem-- even though they had worked for the Baby Ape-- and decided to try a lvl 60ish mage I had on Proudmoore. Whaddya know, success. Caught it snowing a few hours later and the Arctic Fox Kits were everywhere. Even had plenty of time and opportunity to find a blue.

So it seems if they're going to be there, they won't be hard to find. If you're having trouble finding them in the first 5-10 minutes and it's snowing, just give up and try a different toon, don't waste time flying to all the spawn points.

Got it yesterday at K3 when it was not snowing. Then babysat a second one while a guildie got up to Northrend to capture his. Note that there may be different weather and therefore pet spawns in Chromie time; my guildie had to switch to Legion timewalking to see the foxes. So maybe park multiple alts at K3 with all the different Chromie times!

Just caught x3 rare ones. I made about 3 laps and it was snowing ~22:45-00:20 server time.

It never snows in the snowpeaks

This makes me irrationally angry

My method for farming this is to have a sub-level 60 Mage with the K3 flight point discovered in The Storm Peaks. I teleport to Stormwind/Orgrimmar and speak to Chromie to go through the timelines one at a time. Each timeline, I'll teleport to Dalaran - Northrend, fly to K3 and check if it's snowing.

If not, teleport back to the Capital City, speak to Chromie, change timeline, rinse & repeat. There's usually an Arctic Fox Kit right by the K3 flight point as well. They appear to share the same spawn locations as Arctic Hare, so kill these to force more spawns.

So far, Battle for Azeroth's timeline seems to be the most reliable for Snowing weather.

Note: These pets can't be caged, so you'll have to catch it personally.

I found today (12.04.2024) at 7 a.m. I didn't see it snowing. The command /console WeatherDensity 3 seems to no longer work.53.49 83.91 near K3
