The WoW CMs continue their polling of rare and hard-to-find items: first, we got queried on Mr. Pinchy , and now the forums have a poll about that more recent bounty , the Reins of the Green Proto-drake . As you probably already know, you have to first get exalted with the Murloc faction of the Oracles , and then you have to buy a “Mysterious Egg” once every seven days from their quartermaster… that probably hasn’t yet given you the mount you want. Personally, I’ve gotten plenty of Aged Yolks and quite a few noncombat pets, but not my Proto-drake. And my experience is hardly singular — according to the poll, a full 55% of respondents have not yet opened up their Cracked Eggs to find the mount. 4% found it on their first try (bastards — that number seems incredibly high), and almost 14% went for the joke “Oracles?” answer, or maybe just have no idea what the question is about. Obviously this is hardly a scientific poll, so we can’t calculate drop rates or anything like that (most database sites put the drop at around 2%, which means on average 50 eggs to a drake, or almost a year of farming), but it’s pretty clear that the Proto-drake is a supremely rare commodity.

I see you posted the Green Proto-Drake pic I had submitted to wowhead in February of 2009. Nice. Toon was Phlegethon on what was then Mal’Ganis. Have since then transferred out.
The mount “dropped” on my sixth egg.
Keep up the good work.
