Time-Lost Proto-Drake is a legacy Wrath of the Lich King rare that patrols the Storm Peaks in Northrend, and it drops Reins of the Time-Lost Proto-Drake at a 100% rate when it dies. Nothing about the loot is hard. The kill is trivial at the level 90 cap. The entire difficulty is the camp, which is why timesaver.gg prices this as one flat $197.99 until-drop contract rather than an hourly block.
Why the camp is the whole job. The drake uses four known spawn points in the Storm Peaks - the Frozen Lake at 31, 69, Brunn Village at 51, 71, the waterfall at 35, 76 and the Ulduar ravine at 52, 35 - and then flies a long patrol route between them. It shares those spawn points, that flight path and its spawn timer with Vyragosa, a blue drake that carries no mount and rolls the window far more often. Every time Vyragosa takes the spawn, the drake does not, and the clock restarts.
There is no fixed timer, and we will not invent one. Community trackers report the shared window as roughly 2 to 8 hours measured from the moment the previous corpse despawns, and long-running campers regularly log gaps well past that range. Corpses linger for about 30 minutes before the timer even starts. Anyone quoting you a single exact respawn number is guessing.
What is included:
- Continuous camping of the Time-Lost Proto-Drake spawn cycle in the Storm Peaks until the reins are looted on your character;
- Vyragosa killed on sight so the shared timer keeps rolling instead of stalling behind a live spawn;
- Progress toward the Frostbitten achievement picked up along the way from the Vyragosa kills;
- All gold, gear and quest rewards generated during the camp;
- Piloted by default; Self-play Remote adds 30%, Express adds 20% and Super Express adds 40%.
How long it takes. No honest ETA exists for a shared-window rare with no published timer. What is fixed is the price: one payment covers the camp from the day it starts to the moment the mount is learned, however many Vyragosa spawns land in between. US is the default region with an independent matching EU ladder, and scheduling runs on ET or PT.
