Spunta solo quando sull'isola piove. Nel mio caso la pioggia c'è stata alle 00:30 minuto più, minuto meno.

These guys can be found on Jaguero Island in The Cape of Stranglethorn. They currently use the same model as Banana.

They're one of the weather-dependent wild pet spawns! They spawn when it rains, and are up for about 15-20 minutes before despawning.

As said below, Jaguero Island is oddly separate to the rest of the Cape weather-wise. So if it's raining in the Cape, it may not be raining on the island, and visa versa.

Commento di Kurasu

Unlike many pets, these don't do much wandering. When they are spawned, they tend to keep to one spot and not move from it. When clicked on, they have a monkey-screech sound effect.

Can anyone confirm whether or not these are still in the game? I've been camping this island for hours waiting for it to rain and it hasn't rained yet. Is there some trick or schedule to when it rains? This is getting really frustrating. :(

Commento di Kokiron

It FINALLY started raining and I managed to get an uncommon quality one of these. Most of the ones that sprang up were poor quality accompanied by a rare quality crimson moth. I only got to fight a few of them because as soon as it started raining the place was swarmed with people.

Edit: Right after posting this, they started respawning and I managed to get a rare one. Looks like as long as it keeps raining they'll continue to spawn.

Commento di Kurasu

The weather on Jaguaro, where these spawn, is different than The Cape Of Stranglethorn at the moment. I attempted to head to the island when I landed to find it raining, only to find a bright and sunny day while I was there. You'll want to be prepared for this, and check now and again whether it's raining on Stranglethorn or not.

Couple of tips:

Northern STV, Southern STV and Jaguero Isle have separate weather. If its raining in one, it will most likely not be raining on the others.

The rain lasts for about 10-20 minutes. The length seems to be random. The Baby Apes will respawn throughout the rain.

Park an alt on the Isle or be prepared to camp. I have seen the rain multiple times and have yet to see a pattern.

Good Luck!

Finally got this little cutie today, here are my observations:

Camped Jaguero Isle as much as I possibly could over the past week (ie: I went as far as waking up in the middle of the night for a pee-break, logging into wow, checking for rain, and going back to bed ... I wanted this guy REAL bad).

Today (Sunday) at 7:00am EST (same as Server time), it rained. I had already been sitting at the island for 5 hours solid - without leaving - and there had been no rain up to that point.

I don't know if it's the day + time combo, but I had definitely been at the Isle during the week, at 7:00am, and there had been no rain.

Per the wowhead map, they were all isolated to the north, east, and south sides of the island.

I would guesstimate that approximately 20-30 of the baby ape's spawned as soon as the rain started.

Rain stopped at 7:17am.

Contrary to what other people have noticed, they ALL insta-despawned as soon as it stopped raining.

I had killed many of them, trying to find a Rare, so *if* any had respawned, they certainly didn't stay up after the rain had ended. There wasn't a single other person nearby (I had the island to myself), so any potential respawns wouldn't have been killed either.

My only piece of advice, because I wish it's something I had done from the beginning - bind yourself in Booty Bay, farm other mini's for 10 mins, and then hearth back to check for spawns ... and logout on the Isle so that you can quickly check in your spare moments.
Hope this helps!

Commento di Hashupa

I want to clarify what I mean by this comment, so I'm rewriting it.

There is a possibility that the apes will not respawn before the rain is done.
Back in 5.0.5 when I posted this comment, I went around the entire island during a rainstorm and the apes only spawned ONCE and no respawns were available.

It's more likely they will respawn, but you're better off capturing even a poor instead of waiting for a rare to spawn!

Commento di VicarChromaggus

About the weather effects:

"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.' "

Source: Weather Effects

My personal note:
This SHOULD mean that certain variables TRIGGER the rain.
The question remains: "Which variables?".

Considered Jaguero Island has it's on variables related to the change in weather, it will be more likely that you trigger the rain by doing whatever you can on the island, like killing, gathering, fishing. But this is just a theory.

Please post whatever you did last on the island whenever it started to rain.
This includes: 'Logging in', 'Flying over', 'Killing', 'Proffesion use', 'Emoting' or just random sitting.

The possibility that pet battles trigger the weather effect will be unlikely, since the weather effects have been implanted in patch 1.10, but could work.
Even re-entering the island by continiously switching between entering STV and Jaguero Island might work (Something like: variable = 50th person to enter island = rain).

Testing:
While killing Skymane Bonobo's to trigger weather effects, this dropped on the 21th kill Parrot Cage (Hyacinth Macaw) :)

What I did to get my apes after reconsidering killing the Bonobo´s:
Killed all the Skymane Gorilla's , so there were only the Skymane Bonobo's, Kept killing newly spawning Gorilla's.
Sat down, 5 minutes later: Rain, o glorious rain. Could be coincedence, or not.

Results:

2 rare spawns.
about 12 uncommon spawns
about 8 poor spawns

I always surrender the match when not a rare spawn, to quickly move to the next, this made it possible to get all spawns for myself.
The uncommon spawns were always accompanied by a rare Long-tailed Mole.

There were NO respawns.

I have been farming this to day (first time ever)

I am flying and farming pets in The Cape of Stranglethorn. After reading in the this forum I was back at the Island Every hour at 07.00-0800-0900 and so on at 1300 the rain was there the apes was there.

But i Only got Poor.

It last in 17 min as the people was writing.

I will be back another time, to tray to farm this little one

8:20 pm server time I finally found a Baby Ape. It was raining, and had been for about 10 minutes. I had cleared all spawns of all other creatures when 3 appeared. Last of the 3 was a rare. So keep trying if you don't see one when it's raining, just keep clearing others and hopefully your rare will pop too.

Commento di roclar

Logged in at 5:30 realm time and it was raining but there were no Baby Apes. I killed a few gorillas and then at least 6 babies spawned. I got a rare on my first try and then two common ones before the rain stopped and they despawned.

Commento di 229919

i saw 5 common apes during the rain & none of any other rank, is that the only rank they have in the live version?

Commento di 941150

My rare had 473 health. A couple commons had 430-ish health. I couldn't see that it was raining until I actually flew to the island - the rest of the zone had clear skies. All the pets I saw were level 9. Also of note, I went back to farm a Ratto del Pontile about 5 minutes later, and physically saw a Baby Ape respawn in front of me. By that point, there were three other people farming them, so I don't know if any others respawned.

Commento di 821797

O-M-G!... been camping for 7 hours now & NO rain!
So now it's time 2 pick up my kiddo from school. Betcha it rains while I'm gone 4 the next half hour XD

Tearing-my-hair-out-frustrated!
------------------------------------------

Update:
Well, out of 14 hours I camped on that island for 8 of those.
WHEW! I finally got my rare Baby Ape! *YAY*

I found that their pre-tamed health bars went like this (for me);

434 = common
466 = uncommon
473 - 497 = rare (my rare find was 497)

Happy hunting 2 all =)

Commento di Sienna78

Found mine this morning at 5.24 AM. Have had an alt camping out there and I had logged in from time to time to check. This was the first time I had seen it raining but the first few mins there were no Baby Apes to be seen. 5.28 they started spawning and I caught myself an uncommon :)
The rain lasted about 12 mins from when I had logged in and the remaining spawns disappeared once the rain ended. Happy ape hunting :)

Commento di augernaut1

I must be luckier than most. First day (two days ago) I when to the island and after about 30 minutes of pet battling it began to rain. First baby ape I battled was a Rare, then the third was another rare. the rest until everyone else showed up was a uncommon and a few commons. Just came out to post this note that I logged in and after 10 minutes it started raining and I pick up a third rare on the first battle. If you see me around I would be willing to trade a rare for something I don't have. Good luck to y'all that are still trying.

Commento di 1045514

had an alt parked on the island to spot the rain. After 6-7 hours of just sitting there while doing other things it finally started to rain. Ran over there with my main and got a rare ape on the first catch! Felt really lucky :D

Commento di 1045601

seeing some of the comments about farming, this makes the cheetah cub look like something you can buy off the AH for less then spice bread!

Commento di Elladaow

just got mine this morning on the moon guard server. took maybe 10, before i found my 497 hp rare. just have to keep looking. it also helped that i didn't have any competition for them.

Commento di 1044793

Can honestly say that 7 is my lucky number. Once again, I camped this for 7 hours and it FINALLY started raining. I did everything I could during that whole duration. Herbed, fished, killed, just sat there, etc....and at 9:54 p.m. server, it started raining.

Commento di Cicchetto

I caught mine just this morning. I was going around gathering ore, skins, fish, etc. I doubted it would rain, but I checked the island anyways. I arrived there at 5:15am server time and said "please rain :(", I hopped onto wowhead and started reading about everyone's input. Then I maximized WoW and... it was raining (5:20am server time). I managed to go through enough of them to get an uncommon. Luckily none of the higher levels had seen me. They were all battling for the baby instead of being sneaky about it.

Another note: I would assume that they do respawn. After I caught the first 3, I looked around for more and none were on the minimap. I had circled the mountains in the middle twice and none appeared. The third time around there were about 7 more.

Commento di N1ppe

You have to be inside Jaguero Isle zone to see the rain. If you stand outside the zone you won't see rain on the island.

Did this mistake with my lv 1 orc camping there, was scared of some invisible panthers killing me :P

Commento di Lorax42

This is my experience with the rain on the island:

After being on the island for almost 3 hours, the rain started at 3:40pm server time. There were 3-4 other people on the island that were obviously there to find a Baby Ape. I managed to initiate 10 battles before the islands had been cleared out by farmers.

At 3:53 server time, I found my first respawn. By this time, there were less people farming, so I was able to consistently start up battle one after the other for a bit of time.

At 4:01 pm server time, I found my rare quality baby ape.

I stopped battling after I got my rare, but saw about 3 more before the rain stopped at 4:08 server time.

Final totals:

28 battles initiated
8 poor
13 common
6 uncommon
1 rare
28 minutes of rain time

Good Luck, Everybody!

Commento di 1048249

I just caught this one after camping most of the day and must point out a few things I noticed.

What I did was move my main and moved an alt (85) on another server in a different time zone to their spawn and would switch back and forth every now and then. I did try the method for a while to kill certain mobs/all mobs/profession stuff but I really feel this is a placebo and won't actually do anything to help out. I ended up just parking myself in the air and waiting.

There was no rain on my main server so I hopped over to my alt server and it was raining when I logged in around 4:08. I don't really care about rares so I caught one easily and sat around to see who else was catching stuff. The place was deserted so I decided to get a rare after all because they'd just disappear shortly anyway and after going through about 3 fights, found a rare.

I really wanted to post this though because I'm pretty sure that they were respawning during the rain. Maybe it was a zoning thing (sigh) because I did see another player come over when I was about leave after getting a rare and he was from a different zone so I have no idea if it was my server or our servers blending or whatever nonsense that zone thing is causing. It could also be because of the time I was doing it during the rain, having no idea how long it had been raining before I logged on. But there were plenty of apes. Good luck to those still trying to get one.

Commento di 789238

I've been waiting for the rain on Jaguero Isle for over 6 hours, and discovered, when I was just about to run back to town to quickly heal up my pets and then come back again... the rain cycle of the Isle is different then the rest area. If you are off the Isle, even a few yards, you won't see the rain on the isle, and if you're on the isle, you won't see if it's clear or raining off it. Right now, as I wait, I move 2 yards off the island on my Shammy and I'm in a rain storm, while the island itself is bone dry.

Kicking myself for standing out on the water fishing, because I don't know if I missed the spawn or not.

Commento di Galaxas

I think I just experienced an anomaly, but it's currently raining on both the island and the cape right now. Started at exactly 5:30am EST on Jaguero, and as I was flying to do my pet daily I saw the cape raging as well.

About 30 apes spawned, so I blew through them all in about 3 minutes looking for my rare, and within 2 minutes more started popping up. Didn't get the rare and decided to leave when people started showing up looking confused as to why they were all gone. xD Good thing they respawn!

Edit: Seems Jaguero Isle is not as in need of rain as the rest of stranglethorn; the rain stopped by 5:42am and it's still raining on the cape. That's a very short window to get this cute little pet.

Commento di Zurr

I used a lvl 1 from a free-to-play account to afk on Jaguero isle while i went about my business.

The north east corner appeared to be a good spot to set him out of way's harm.

Commento di Rothar

I've had an alt parked on Jaguero Isle for over a week now with no luck, have never seen it rain until today.

Oddly enough, I was doing Golden Lotus dailies out in Valley of Eternal Blossums, when it started raining. Just before turning the quests in the rain stopped and it cleared up. I thought, "why not?", so I logged onto my alt.

Sure enough, it was raining in Jaguero Isle! Mounted and ran about, engaged and captured the first Baby Ape I encountered!

I don't know if the two are linked, or if this was just a fluke, but it's worth looking out for.

(As has already been said, Jaguero Isle has its own weather pattern, separate from the rest of Cape of Stranglethorn.)

Commento di 378260

Rare hunters, take note!

Alt+f4ing, exiting the game, or otherwise disconnecting will reset any pet battle so long as one pet in the encounter is still alive. After you re-enter the game, the pet will have respawned in the same spot with the same battle configuration, including add-on pets and rarity (if any).

Any pet abilities in the encounter may be re-rolled when using this method.

So if you accidentally kill a rare battle pet, you can reset the encounter so long as one other pet is still alive.

Commento di 1052661

Finally I got my little baby ape (rare) spawned right after it started raining, waited about 2-3 hours for the rain. Watched some TV, and went back to have a look 5 minutes later, then it was raining and many baby apes had spawned at 5.05PM, still raining now at 5.28.

..... Stopped raining at 5.32 PM.

Commento di 733847

I am on Aggramar Realm, camped my Shaman on the island and kept checking back every 15 minutes for the rain. Bingo, 12:47 pm server time it started to rain. Let my friend know so they could get to the island to get one too. Bingo again, I got a rare first pet battle. Friend gets there and bingo again rare for her. She logs onto her husband's account and brings him over and bingo again he gets a rare. Must have been our lucky day. The rain lasted 20 minutes. Don't kow if this will help anyone but good luck.

Commento di Riven

I logged in to a rainy Jaguero Island a few days ago a little before 5:15 am EST (2 am server time). I believe the rain started at precisely 5, and ceased about 2 minutes after I arrived. I had enough time to battle 2 apes, although I noticed there had to be at least 15 spawns up and I didn't see anyone else on the island. It also happened to be raining in the cape at the same time, which was likely just coincidental. It seems as though very early morning may be a good time to check the island for rain. I have yet to personally come across any comments from people catching baby apes between 6pm and midnight, so perhaps we're onto something here...

Commento di Esploratore

Here's my experience (this was one of my 2 missing pets in the eastern kingdoms, so done quite some stuff in pet battles): was checking at jaguero isle on my mage, fastest char to get there, and no rain, went here to read the comments, checked again in game, thought to kill gorillas and without even noticing for the first few seconds, it was actually raining in the island. I started searching for apes, found a lot, got 3 poor quality ones at first, then as I noticed they all had the same hp and stats (383 hp, 90 and 72 of the 2 stats), I knew they all were poor, so I immediately forfeited the matches, but then I found one with 497 hp, didn't expect much more, but at least common or uncommon, instead captured and it was a rare; literally 5 sec after the rain ended, very strange as I'm usually unlucky. Killed a gorilla the second the rain ended though, so these gorillas may actually trigger start and end of the rain. The rain lasted very few minutes, but if it started to raining as soon as I alt tabbed it's possible they actually were more.

My screenshots say:

Started checking for rain at around 5.00-5.05, not perfectly sure about this.
Saw the rain at 5.19 the first time and started catching apes.
Got the rare at 5.26 and that is also the minute in which the rain stopped.

So it may actually be that I came back just in time before the rain was ending.

Overnight, ofc.

Commento di 1054095

I just farmed this little guy for 2 weeks and today I finally caught a rare one. I got probably 20 common/poors and caught 2 uncommon over the duration of the 2 weeks before I finally got my rare. The rare I got had 497 hp before capture. There is alot of competition due to it being a cross realm zone so be quick!
Happy hunting!

Commento di wilosoft

Just managed to catch 2 rares one after another the first time I encounter this pet, it was exactly 3:00AM server time when it was raining in STV, it was raining before I logged in there

Commento di Shammymonkey

Does anyone know if you had to have quested here to get the rain? I am lvl 85 but think I skipped this zone. Thx :)

Commento di Toridias

These pets seem to mass spawn. Was hanging about today during a rainfall and had 2 waves within approx 15-20 minutes.

Don't know if "killing" all the current baby apes is required for a new wave to spawn or that it's just time based.

Edit: kept some of them alive and didn't get a respawn for at least 10-15 min. Then the rain stopped and they all despawned, so can't really proof if you need to kill the previous ones to get a new wave.
Good luck to the pet farmers out there !

Stayed up all night waiting for it to rain. Started raining 6 minutes before server maintenance. Found one 30 seconds before server shut down. Could not being pet battle, pet battle already in progress. Going to kill many apes soon.

Commento di 795337

Is there anyway to tell when it's going to rain or when it's more likely to rain or is it completely random like real life? I've been trying to catch it raining on this island for days and also looking for a sandstorm in Tanaris.
We need like a WOW channel with weather updates on the 8's!

Commento di 545160

Camped for a few hours didn't rain. Came back the next day waited for around 10 minutes, the sky got dark and I got very excited. Then it rained! Started 10:16pm ST cont. for around 15 mins. Found 2 rares =)

Commento di jeremyshanesmith

Hey guys and gals,

I am on Blade's Edge server. At 3:48am-3:49am (Server Time), I was on Jaguero Island in The Cape of Stranglethorn, and it started raining (lasted about 10-15mins).

During that time, I was able to obtain the following Battle Pets:

- Baby Ape(Lv9):
(4 Rares, 3 Uncommons) I only kept 1 of the Rares (since they are 'Not Tradeable').

- Strand Crab(Lv9):
You can battle all day long, and only get Poor, Common, or Uncommon's (I know because that is what I did. It frustrated me). But when it RAINS, you can get the Strand Crab(Rare).

I couldn't find any info on the internet to help me out, so I thought I would help you guys out.

Good luck,

Commento di 215146

At 6:07PM Bleeding Hollow server time (East Coast), the rain started. Baby Apes immediately spawned, a lot of people there farming. Caught an uncommon first try, while looking for more, couldn't find ANY pets for about 5 minutes. Finally found 2-3 more Baby Apes, caught a rare. Rain stopped abruptly at 6:22PM server time.

Just a hint - they stay closer to the beach, instead of inland.

Commento di 844086

At 0245 CST I started off reading this post was like "sure I will try this", so I used my lvl 90 pally and flew to BB and jumped over to the all elusive Isle, killed all of the Gorillas, waited my 10 minutes and nothing. So thinking there may be a method to this I started at the "Princess" and I Killed them again moving clockwise again starting at 0300 again moving clock wise this time not looting or skinning anything, as of yet 0310still nothing...I am not a fan of camping but I would really like this pet I think he would round out my favorite addition.

Commento di Yimbo

Be aware, that certain quests may phase the apes away.
In my experience Lo spirito di Bwemba will phase them out. I was sitting there with alt with this quest and even when was raining no apes around. I came with my main with this quest completed long ago and there they were. Full isle of apes.

Commento di Paulosio

Logged in at 6 am to find it raining and about 6 baby apes were up... I started 1 battle and abandoned due it being a poor quality version. Started the next battle and accidentally killed the baby ape as all my pets attacks did around the same ammount of damage as the baby ape had hp.... By the time the 2nd battle finished someone else had used up all the other spawns and it stopped raining. Oh well.

Commento di Arborcorien

Rain started around 3am server time and ended around 3:30. First encounter was poor. But my second encounter was a rare!

Commento di Aliandrin

About the rain... There's got to be some add-on that tells people when it's raining in what zone, or a way to predict it somehow, perhaps it being linked with rain in other, far-away zones.

I just zoned in to Jaguero Isle and I'm certain that me zoning in was what caused the rain. Even if not...

Not thirty seconds after it began raining, the zone was swamped with people (perhaps thirty) trying to capture the Baby Ape. I got one, luckily, but I was there when it started raining (no one else was), and I was incredibly lucky to get just the one.

Commento di 1065050

I saw the post about the baby ape this morning as I start my collection of rare battle pet.

Flew directly over to Stranglethorn, it was raining on the mainland. Went to the island, it was bright and sunny. Within 15 minutes (10am) it started to rain, and is still raining now at 10:17AM (Edit: it's still raining now at 10:22AM) in line with the other questions here, I wasn't doing anything else on the island aside from doing battles with my new Fluxfire rare I got last night (gotta level him, he's amazing).

I cleared the entire first spawn of apes with no competition, but got no rares.

Then about 10 minutes later the entire population of baby apes respawned and I was able to get my rare pet.

Commento di 1065572

I was on the mainland and it was raining. I figured (according to the helpful comments that I have already seen) that it would not be raining on the island. This was the case. However, I decided to kill any of the beasts on the island as I do not have a hyacinth macaw yet.

After about 5 minutes of killing anything that moved on the island, It started to rain. If there are multiple triggers to create rain, perhaps killing anything on the island will increase those chances. The first one I captured was of uncommon status. I did not capture anymore of them seeing as I have been saving a beast stone just for this little guy. I used my Hearthstone and announced in trade that it was raining on the island in hopes that some good karma will come my way as I struggle to obtain a scourged whelpling.

Commento di 986651

I just want to point out there is no rhyme or reason to the weather. I sat for 10 and 1/2 hours before it rained. Luckily, the rain happened at 12:10am and lasted until 12:23am. Our storm didn't seem to last as long as others have posted, so don't assume that you can just log in and check every 10 mins, you may miss it. I captured a common one first, just in case I didn't come across any better quality. There were a few people here so I had to fight for these little guys. Finally got an uncommon quality, sadly no rares. Friend of mine got a rare. Out of the 10 I battled, 5 were poor quality, 4 were common and 1 was uncommon. Good luck to those wanting this guy!

Words to the wise -- 'Make sure you don't have a journal full of them when a rare finally spawns'

Or you will feel terrible, and want to kill apes on that island for the next hour in frustration.

Waited about 30 minutes, then read that killing Gorilla's might help it rain.

Just tried killing 13 gorillas as well, but nothing happened for me.Looking like i am probably gonna be playing the waiting game again............

Commento di 1070680

I found that killing gorillas doesn't really help. I spent a few hours last night killing everything I ran into and nothing happened. I switched to a different toon on a different server today to farm and happened to log into a storm at 11:15pm US Central. There were people everywhere, but I managed to get to battle quite a few of the little cuties, most being poor quality. However, I ran into an uncommon just as the rain ended. Now I just need my rare!

Commento di 776458

Someone out there (HEY BLIZZ!--but that'd be too easy, right?), please please please please please make some sort of mod that detects what the weather is like in different areas. Please. -.-

I waited/been waiting for about three hours now. Just running around the island. I got bored and started killing stuff but mainly I was there to get a rare rat. I still haven't got it, damn it.

Then this ally panda came running by. Low level. I figure he's trying to quest so I lay off killing stuff for a while. 1/2hr or so later he's still running around. I figure, gah, he's bound to have gotten all he needs by now he's just killing to kill. So I resume killing stuff.
Turns out he was probably skilling up his skinning because I'd clear the apes out and he'd run along behind me and skin them all.
Eventually, he bowed graciously and hearthed. I was sad. He was the only company and really only the thing to DO while I waited.

Back to farming my rare rat I guess -sigh-. Hey WoW God? You can make it start raining any time now. Please. I want to go to bed and my shoulder is starting to hurt from the excessive time spent using my mouse. :(

Caught a common one on Moon Guard just now at 9 pm server time. Happened to log in as I had a character sitting in the island so i could check randomly. And it was raining. People were swarming everywhere. I wanna note that there isn't just one that spawns, or a couple but a bunch, all over the island too not just where King Mukla is. And several people caught one. Mine was of poor quality but Im okay with that, so I didn't try farming, not to mention the several other people there who were trying for one. I would suggest anyone else be just as considerate.

Started raining Friday January 11th 2013 at 8:33am server (pacific standard time). I haven't seen anyone posting WHEN it rains for catching this mob, so thought I would.

Commento di GamerSmoosh

I was lucky to get a rare quality Baby Ape (actually someone else grabbed the one I was going to ballte, so I was forced to grab the next closest one, which happened to be a rare). This battle pet reminds me of the Darkmoon Monkey.

This pet is not tradeable.

Stats at level 25 for rare quality:
Health 1400
Power 325
Speed 260

Abilities:
Slot 1 - Smash / Rake
Slot 2 - Roar / Clobber
Slot 3 - Banana Barrage / Barrel Toss

There's also some great info on WarcraftPets site.

Rain started at about 8:33am on a Friday morning, server time (pacific coast time as well). Rain ended 20 minutes later at 8:53am. I saw 4 or so poor (grey) quality, one common (white), several uncommon (green), and no rare (blue) baby apes. Didn't try any of the strand crabs that were available, just went for the baby apes that had spawned in the rain. Secondary battle animals included long-tailed moles, strand crabs, parrots, a tree python, a lizard hatchling, and a crimson moth.

(After capturing a good quality green within the first few fights, I hit Retreat and just cycled through each pet set to see what else was available, in the hopes a blue rare would show up. I did this AFTER making sure I was the only person on Jaguero Isle looking for baby apes; otherwise it would've been rude and rather selfish to fight/retreat in rapid succession. Most of us players are nice people who don't mind sharing, after all.)

I just caught mine, I decided to check out the island right after the Fishing Extravaganza was over and it started raining just a few minutes later. Might be just a coincidence, but I suppose it's worth checking out.

This is the last rare I needed (except the legendary missing Scourged Whelpling)
The rain lasted only 15 minutes.
I faced no competition and engaged everyone of them. NO rare poor me.
There are no more than 20-25 encounters total in this rain .

There are initials large patch of spawns. Clearing them respawns 3-5 after 6+ mintues

Just wanted to report rain on the isle at 2:15 PM Central time today. Got one, poor quality but I didn't want to swipe someone else's opportunity.

Commento di 1083236

Just Got one! Camped for a few hours today, give up and went back just to check @ 2:55AM GMT Moonglade EU and flew right into the storm, and got myself a rare, I would say 95% were uncommon i feel very lucky! thanks for all the tips guys!

Commento di m4zurka

I was camping at Jaguero Isle for about 40 minutes before it started raining. It was around 9:45 (EST and realm time) on a Monday morning. I saw two Baby Apes right away and captured one, although it was Poor quality. An alliance character was with me on the isle as well and snagged the second one. We both circled around the isle for a few minutes in opposite directions, and I found another Poor. Another Horde character joined us, and I beat him to one last ape as the rain was stopping: my Rare! The rain lasted no more than 10 minutes, and I personally saw only 4 apes total during that time.

Commento di Wedgietime

Over 4 days, I have caught many of the rare, hard to get battle pets. If I have learned anything it is that for being on of the most lush, green, and beautiful places in Warcraft, it does not rain much Stranglethorn Vale. One the very first day, I had IMMENSE luck finding all of my pets. I had found a Harpy Youngling immediatly, it was the only one. I had then found an uncommon Giraffe Calf within an hour. From there I went to find the Tiny Twister. I had spent about an hour waiting for one, before I gave up. I went over to the Dalaran Crater, searched for a Loft Libram, didn't find one, and went AFK. When I came back, 5 Loft Libram had spawned beside me, my fourth one being a rare. I had then went back to seek a Tiny Twister, and found a single one was spawned for my taking. I had than decided to try for this pet.

I had spent the rest of that day, and the next three days... waiting for it to rain. I had left my computer on, and the speakers loud. So I would be able to hear it rain while in the kitchen, or on the ps3. It just would not rain, I only logged off to go to college, and sleep. I even logged in to check this if I woke up to use the restroom. I had tryed what others had suggested. I first killed all of the gorillas for about 30 minutes, than waited; nothing. Than I had tryed killing everything that dared to move, waited; nothing. I had even tryed mining everything, wound up with 28 stacks of Iron ore, 1 and a half stacks of gold, and almost 3 stacks of silver ore, but no monkey. So as far as triggers go, I had been trying all of them for several days, and others had too, but none worked. I had switched screens to do some research for college, and remembered to look at WoW, and I noticed it looked smoky. It had just started to rain when I looked! I had the entire Island to myself, and battled every pet in search of a rare, as fast as I could. I had fought:

6 poor spawns
8 common spawns
7 uncommon spawns

During the first 5 minutes about 5 of these monkeys had spawned later than the rest, ussually close to the beach. Unfortunatly, no rares were spawned. After I had finished the last battle, like wildfire half a dozen other people showed up, looking for a pet monkey. Needless to say, I am more or less hated on my server, but I was the one who had taken the time to wait my monkey pet out, not them. :)

My final comments are.
1. It rains on Jaguero when it wants to rain on jaguero, I am positive that there are no triggers.
2. I noticed when I had battled a uncommon pet, it was always joined by another uncommon pet. I don't know if it is coincidence, or if it is to slow someone down after you capture your rare monkey to give others a chance.
3. I really don't like gorilla's, and after this, I will never think the same of them.

Commento di darktemplaru

I managed to catch a rare one myself after a few that were not rare (was the 6th or 7th). the hardest part was waiting for the rain.
It started raining at 23.00 (GMT+1) server time (Silvermoon - EU) and it stopped at 23.12.
Cleaned the whole initial spawn in a few mins(there were around 10-12 Baby apes spread around the island). I was the only one chasing pets on the island at that point. I didn't engage any other pet but the Baby ape.
1st respawn after i cleared the zone was at 23.12. There was another one at 23.13 and one at 23.14 and the very second the rain stopped.
Also remember to activate track pets on minimap if u are camping on an alt and forgot about it. I was running around and seeing the rain and wondering where the pets are.

Commento di 1087702

Just flew over the Island and it started to rain!
Dismounted mid flight causing a lot of damage and ran to the middle of the island and it spawned!
I couldn't believe it and there was no one else about, I then proceeded to be attacked by all of the apes in the area.
I took a deep breath thinking that I had 5 seconds to dispatch them and clear the area, 7 seconds later it stopped raining and the Baby Ape dissapeared :(
It was raining for a total of 15 seconds.
Dont get it :(

Commento di 1012488

A brief word about the rain on Jaguero Isle: I've seen the rain effects in many zones all over Azeroth (Thunder Bluff is very nice in the rain) but what my priest alt experienced on the Isle was a bloody tropical downpour! My weather effects are turned to only halfway to reduce lag but even so my visibility was so reduced I had to slow down and sweep the mouse back and forth over the screen to avoid stepping on the stealthing kitties out there. A very impressive storm that night indeed! Anyone else see a storm like that too?

Commento di 665779

Can I only get the Baby Ape if it raining?

Commento di RS817

I decided to check the comments for any helpful tips and it started raining on the island (12:45 PM EST) It rained for about 15 minutes. I grabbed a poor quality and was able to grab an uncommon. I checked the few others that were left between myself and another player until they were all gone. I watched for a few minutes to see how long the rain was going to last and decided to start flying away. I got to the shore of the island and stopped for a second and the rain stopped for about 10 seconds and then started again. I flew back into the island and it was raining there and new apes had spawned. I grabbed a rare on the second one I tried. The second rain only lasted about 2-3 minutes.

Commento di 1051133

So just wanted to post my lucky story. I casually parked my mage this morning, thinking I'd pop in and check every so often. Logged in first time today at 5pm CST, was raining, saw a little paw, and first pet I battled was a rare baby ape. Woot!

Commento di 1090184

First Off I would like to say congrats to anyone who has been able to get this battle pet...I kept one of my toons on the isle for about a week and sitting there for hours on end with no rain. Finally on the 7th day of sitting there (which I was about to give up) I left the island to help a friend and when I came back it was finally raining... This happened today at 2am EST and lastest for 15 minutes. I only noticed spawns for the baby ape happening on the monkey side of the island but there were quite a few other people there. I managed to get an uncommon baby ape and that is good enough for me.

P.S. I did try all the triggers mentioned before by others and none seemed to have worked. Hope this helps and happy hunting :)

Commento di 79041

mannoroth server, i logged on at 8:05pm pst. it was raining til 8:14pm pst Sunday

they are lvl 9 so make sure you got the right pets, friend just missed out due to that :(

Commento di JumperBaltzer

These guys do only spawn in the rain, As far as I can tell, It rains on the island about 4-6 times a day, and the Baby Ape will despawn the second the rain stops (Unless you have one in Combat, it will complete the battle) keep in mind that Both Horde AND Alliance are trying to obtain this in the same area so use a PVE server if you do not want to fight for a shot at this pet.

Commento di Diodor

I'm not sure what's going on Jaguero island but atm the rain is pouring for over 45 min without a break. 2 waves of apes spawned so far.

Commento di 1101420

I spent close to 8 hours on the Island today waiting for it to rain. It started raining at Midnight. I left the island before I could find out how long it would go for. I did get my rare, it took about 9 different tries before I got him, I was the only one on the island as well.
Afterwards there were still 8+ there (and still spawning).
I told everyone in /1 to come get their ape! I hope they were listening!

Best of luck hunting this cutie!

Commento di KingSeamus

In addition to camping an alt there, if you have a friend on another server or a 2nd account with toons on other servers after checking with your alt, have the friend invite them to a group. The Friend or 2nd alt will need to be higher level, this can force CRZ to kick in and spawn you in a new realm. This will give a second "check" each time you log in to see if its raining.
This can also work with two toons that are the same level, but it may not always pull you off of your current realm.
GL All :)

Commento di 1106081

i read a few posts complaining about ppl killing all of the pets off, i see why they do this because if you've waited so long of course you want a rare one, however this is avoidable i do it all the time, if you enter a pet battle and immediately forfeit, it takes 10% of all your pets health but the wild pet immediately respawns this works well because if you do find a rare one and your pets have low health when you finally happen to find it you can forfeit heal and rebattle that pet to cage i have currently done it with almost every pet i have caught because i dont see the point in caging a "poor"pet happy hunting! go to wowhead.com/map it shows all spawns in all areas very convenient when traveling a whole continent::)

Commento di 1106081

Another tip****** when battling pet battle masters i always go in and immediately forfeit the match so that i can see which order the battle master is sending their pets in, so lets say the battle master has a critter, a mechanical and a dragon in that order, you could see it then set your pets in the order of beast(to go against critter), elemental (to go against machine) and humanoid ( to go against dragonkin) when you have your stats set up right you can kick some major butt, so after your pets are in the desired order of battle simply heal and rebattle the master:)

Commento di black6raven66

After waiting for 3 hours it finally started to rain at 5:51pm server time and lasted until 6:08pm. I got an uncommon on my first try, then spent the rest of the time trying for a rare seen 5 poor, 7 common and 1 other uncommon but no rare, oh well.

Did notice though that the second pet to spawn with them were high quality versions of other pets in the area. Got a rare Parrot, Lizard Hatchling and Forest Spiderling while looking for a rare ape. Don't know if the RNG was being nice or if this is common for others too.

Commento di Sanguinezor

I just spent a solid 12 hours(never away from the pc for more than 2 mins) camping this pet.

What i have learned.

- The theory about killing apes and killing certain apes and leaving them alive does not trigger the rain.
- There is NO TRIGGER for the rain.
- For obvious reasons. There does not NEED to be rain within a certain time period
- As stated previously. STV rain is seperate from the Isle rain

I had intervals of annoyance and went on a killing spree and killed everything i saw in hopes of a Hyacinth Macaw drop.

Following my camp.

I recommend that you farm this casually. Leave a lowbie alt on the Island and log it once in awhile.
If you have the option of asking Real-id's on diff servers to check their CRZ, do it. It adds to the "chance" of hitting a lucky crz where it is raining.

Happy Hunting.

I got mine last night, managed to find a rare :)

I saw these on a pet listing and thought they were cute, went to go try to find one. At first I had no idea that it had to be raining. After getting to the island and not seeing any I alt-tabbed over to read about them more, and when I saw that it had to be raining I thought "lol ain't nobody got time for that" and knew I would never try to camp for rain or try to find one of these guys. When I tabbed back over to leave, it was raining! Seemed to me that it rainied for only about 10 minutes, it was 1:30 am PST.

Third one that I engaged was a rare.

Commento di NewsAlchemist

Here's something to consider.
A friend of mine told me that he had been hunting these, same as me. He did them in the middle of the night and wee hours of the morning. 3 a.m. to 5 a.m. (ish).
He mentioned that he had been farming in Tanaris (Sithilid Hatchling), it stormed there, he moved to Storm Peaks (Arctic Fox) and got a three-time-charm by hitting Baby Ape in Jaguero next.

I started on the same idea approximately 12 hours later - nabbed my Hatchling in Tanaris around 3-3:10 p.m., went to Jaguero for awhile, no rain -- so I moved to Storm Peaks around 3:30 p.m. - it was snowing. Now onto Jaguero Isle around 3:45 p.m. - 4 p.m.

Perhaps they're timed to rotate, giving just enough time to travel from one to the other (about 20-25 minutes spawn time, before the weather "moves") Its silly, but its worked out twice.

Commento di maryalice

Captured my rare, Baby Ape, today (Friday) at 7:45 am PST - that's real and server time.

Like others have said, it needs to be "raining" and nothing you do before then will make them spawn (i.e. killing stuff, taming all the crabs, etc.). I was training my level 1 critters to 10 using the crabs on he island and as soon as it started raining - BAMM! - the island was filled with Baby Ape in all the spots show on the map above.

Happy hunting & good luck :)

Commento di Draewind

Flew out to the Island and it was a beautiful sunny day. As I flew in under the trees it was raining hard and Baby Apes were everywhere on the east side of the island ... from waterline in the south to waterline in the north. The moral is ... get under the trees when you are checking the weather. It doesn't look like rain from the air around the island.

Commento di 1116705

Be aware, some say that the rain lasts at least 15-20 minutes, but I think this is completely random too. When I got on the island it started raining after a minute or two (I know I'm lucky) and it stopped roughly 30 seconds after. Luckily I was able to catch a Baby Ape before that, but don't idle around when it rains as it can stop very suddenly. Realm was Twisting Nether.
Happy hunting!

Commento di aderana

For anyone who is wondering, as I was, you can HEAR the rainstorm on Jaguero Isle. I had an alt camped there, and heard it raining even before I was fully logged in. Engaged the first one I saw and could tell the rain stopped from the sound as I was battling.

This means you can camp this guy while you are tabbed out. Just make sure you have "Sound in Background" checked (Game Menu, System, Sound, then check the box, about 2/3 of the way down the list) and you will still hear your WoW sounds when tabbed out. I had my ambience (slider bar to the right) turned all the way up. You should be hearing birds chirping when it isn't raining. When you hear the rain start, tab in and capture away.

Good luck.

Edit: Just verified that this still works. Unfortunately, if someone sets off a Pietra della Pioggia, it SOUNDS like rain but doesn't spawn these apes.

Commento di Panos999

It finally started raining, @00:20 (after 5 hours straight of waiting) and the rain stayed for a good 45 min which gave a nice 3-4 waves of them, no rares though (6 peeps were farming it at the same time as me)

Commento di 1120035

What I experienced- Tuesday, May 14th of 2013;

-Arrived at the island around approximately 3:54a server time.
-It started raining 4:01a server time, ended 4:14, restarted 4:17a.
-Apes spawned as soon as the setting changed, in high abundance.
-After nine or so kills, found a rare lvl 10 baby ape, 620 hp, 120 dmg, 104 speed.
-All apes vanished after the stopping of the first set of rain, no apes appeared after the second starting rain until approximately 4:29a server time.

Hope this helps :)

Anybody know what time it rains, is there a certain time of the day it rains, or it just random and unpredictable?

Commento di Rj23

If you are pet collector you will appreciate this, but probably hate me for it. In my quest to capture rare pets a friend of mine began casing Jaguero Isle waiting for rain. We were in separate realms. She left a toon here and I left a toon here. Periodically we would check in and over the course of a couple of weeks she caught hers and I was offline :( We both kept a toon in hopes of rain. Finally the rain came! Not only did I catch my Baby Ape, but I caught a rare before the rain stopped.

Earlier she and I discussed some strategies for catching the Minifernal. I said, let me just go see if there is one there now. So I flew to Felwood. There were two in the area! I caught one that was uncommon. The other was poor, but it was still a Minifernal! So I cross realmed party with her and she caught it. To be clear there were none in her realm and she crossed to mine to catch it.

With this streak going I decided to look and see if there was a sand storm brewing in Tanaris. There wasn't in my realm, but in my friends realm there was. So we partied again and I crossed into her realm. I was able to catch a rare Silithid Hatchling. From beginning to end it took less than an hour. I am a very unlucky person, but i have to say this was some serious luck! I still cannot believe this happened!

If someone can teach me how to link in WoWhead I will go back and amend this story with links to each pet.

Commento di 480715

All weather-dependant spawns are in sort of phased zones, as far as weather goes. The specific spawn points of the creatures have different weather coding, and the weather needs to be ideal in those specific points for them to spawn. A good example of this is Storm Peaks. If it's snowing in Thunderfall it doesn't mean that it's snowing in any of the Arctic Fox Kit spawn points.
Jaguero Island is one of these differently coded weather locations. Like everyone else has said, the island itself needs rain for the NPC to spawn.
The coding is unhelpful, too. It's not got a certain time rotation between raining and not raining. This goes for the other locations. It will simply rain when it wants to rain, so it's totally at random, and I'm relatively sure that server maintenance and restart doesn't affect it. You just have to wait.

I'd suggest waiting in the middle of the island. There are always battle pets around the coast, mostly strand crabs. If you wait in the middle, even if your graphics are set quite low so you can't quite see the rain, the pets will appear on your minimap with 'track battle pets' enabled, and you won't get them confused with strand crabs.

The rain is a lie.

Commento di Triffy

After who knows how long camping on Jag Island, finally tonight it rained !

I can't add much to what has already been written here :

The Baby Apes spawn in two levels, 9 and 10. The higher level ones are on the south-east side (near and around the big gorilla)

They seem to spawn immediately as the rain starts in a finite number. There were 2 of us on the Island as the rain started, and we worked through the pets north to south, I was expecting a re-spawn, but in spite of the rain continuing for another 20 odd minutes, no new baby apes appeared.

Good Luck, and happy hunting.

SOME USEFUL INFO:

I parked two different toons (from two different realms) in jaguero isle.
the first realm (toon #1) was Uldaman. It's a lvl 90. No rain. Logged out at 12:10am central time (server time on both was 1:10am EST) and I went to the next server (icecrown).
alt toon parked in jaguero isle, IT WAS RAINING. Meaning you seem to be on your own little um, "world" separate from some CRZ servers...or they get lumped in some other form. (I've seen people from uldaman while in icecrown on other places, so I don't know if the island has less servers since it's smaller).
to test this, I noted all the toons in the area (jaguero isle). I saw alliance and horde and when I went to the other toon, I noticed those same people weren't there. The people who were battling the apes in icecrown while I was in uldaman were not there. I did log back to the icecrown toon to see if they were still there, and yeah they were. The main toon being a hunter it was easy to track them down, but as the other was a non-hunter, I had to search for them if they were of the opposite faction.
rain lasted about 20 mins. I noticed the apes where spawning at a slower rate after the first batch, so if you're one of the first people there....please just get one and leave. That's what battle stones are for =(

so the moral of the story is, the more alts you have scattered in different realms, the higher chances you'll get to get this elusive pet. When they spawn, it is a funny sight. Apes...apes everywhere!

spent two days camping this on my priest, was about to go afk and i hear the rain start.

Commento di 1067389

waited for 15 mins , it started to rain 14:04 server time and monkeys kept spawning like crazy, caught my first one to be sure i had one then went on to find a rare, turns out a pvp warrior had found one so i decided to make it mine LOL :D

war went and got his friends and me to, now i dont know if this is a fact, but it seemed that the rain would keep on going because it lasted all the time we were fighting the horde ( for about 25 mins orso) and it kep raining after we decided to leave , so yeah..

AWESOME PET THAT!

also note : there were 9 people on the island at that time. :)

Commento di Horaha

Make the best of it, you might be here a while.

A good place to start working on Pro Pet Mob Achievement.

I leveled many pets from 1 to 9 here waiting for the rain. Choose your uncommon drop pets or pets that aren't available to catch later at a higher level of course.
After you catch your Baby Ape continue to level those pets waiting for the sandstorm in Tanaris.
Remember not to level over 14 or that time will be wasted when upgrading with battle stone.

Note: you can level tamed pets from 9 to 10 for the leveling achievement. same with leveling to 25.

It's true, the rain is random for when and how long it will rain. And the island has its on climate so rain on the cape does not mean rain on the island. I have not read anything about any fix for spawns with any patch.

Commento di iprincess

The rain started at 2.30 am server time (Mok'athal - USA) Got the rare baby ape (B/B) on 5-6th try probably by 2.38 am. They DO re-spawn during the rain. If there is no baby apes left on the island, give it some time, they will appear again. The rain stopped at 3.30 a.m.
Baby ape is a 9-10 level beast.

Commento di 1131455

I noticed this had not been updated in awhile. The previous posts are all correct on location and the weather needing to be raining. However, the timing listed below never seemed to work out for me. I found it around 6:40-7:05am Realm time Saturday mornings. I have tested the last three Saturdays and have found the baby ape each time. Best of luck!

Commento di SFFCorgi

Something not mentioned in the other posts is that the P/P breed is also apparently rare. I was able to capture an Uncommon and check about a half-dozen more Baby Apes before the rain stopped, and they were all B/B. If you want both quality and breed, you're almost certainly going to have to use a battle stone after checking a lot of Apes.

Please be kind to other potential hunters in the process and take the 10% hit, though. That's why you have bandages.

Got this today around 1:00 PM EST on Bloodhoof-US after camping for at least 8 or 9 hours at different times. On a hunch, I ported\flew as quick as possible to Tanaris and found that the Piccolo Silitide was also spawning. Got a rare of each after 10 to 15 tries.

Commento di 1136722

Just so you know, these guys IMMEDIATELY despawn when the rain stops. I finally spotted one while it was raining and raced over to him. I was standing on top of the baby ape and pulled up my pet list just to double check health and whatnot. Just as I was moving my mouse to click on him, the rain stopped and he disappeared out from under me. So just so you know, BE QUICK!

Commento di valepu

Found mine on Sep 1st. It was around 17:25 (Turalyon EU, Server Time, i was too excited to check the clock) when it started raining I wasn't doing anything (i was chatting with a friend of mine, but i was just standing still in game) and there wasn't anyone else on the island (i was there with my Hunter so i could track), once i got 2 Apes (1 Poor B/B and one Uncommon P/P) i wrote in /1 that it was raining on the island, but no one came.
I kept fighting pets to find a rare. I found B/B and P/P quite evenly so i don't think the P/P spec is rare. I managed to find only 1 rare (B/B) just before it stopped raining (at 17:38).
It is worth mentioning that i've been on the island since 10 am, sometimes just standing and sometimes killing anything on sight and pet battling, but it looks like it had no effect on the rain

I got to the Isle today at around 5:40 pm local time, 8:40 pm realm time. I couldn't see the rain until I moved in farther and then saw one baby ape. I grabbed it up quick, even though it was grey and by the time I was through fighting the add, it had stopped raining and no more baby apes were seen, so they do despawn right then. Hopefully, I'll catch it again one day when I have longer to battle.

Logged onto my parked alt at 5:05 pm Eastern on US Stormrage and it was raining. Started panicking cause I didn't believe it, and then it took a few minutes for an ape to pop up. Got a rare. It's been months of trying to catch this little guy!

Camped the isle for a time, leveling lowbie pets. The rain started at 4:05 pm server time (EST), and ended at 4:30.

The first two I checked were poor, but I forfeited, so they'd be there if someone else was happy with that. The third was a rare and I captured him.

There were several other folks on the isle, that battled and/or killed everything, including the uncommons. *shrugs*

Turalyon EU: Rain began @ 9:40am server time.

I took advantage of the 10 day invitation and re-opened my 2nd account. I spent a very long evening playing with my old Druid with the sound turned off. I ran my primary account with the sound on and logged to a suitable character on Jaguero Isle, sitting away from the path of patrolling mobs. This way I was able to play on the Druid account whilst listening to the sounds from Jaguero Isle for when it rained - the rain, by the way, makes a loud hissing noise. You'll know when it rains!

It took approximately 7 hours to rain, possibly more since I have no idea when it had last rained on the island.

Although I was pleased to finally get the Baby Ape I was disgusted with the incredible time sink that this has been, as well as other pets that rely on specific weather patterns to spawn. So much so that I raised a ticket to the GMs about how harsh it was for something that is, when all said and done, a cosmetic feature - since the abilities aren't unique to this pet. Either Blizzard should make the weather more regular or remove the weather as an issue and just put in placeholders like some of the other rares, or make it a seasonal pet, such as the Snowy Owl (the last pet I need for Safari achievement) that spawns in Winter and will no doubt be quite common for the duration.

I only hope others have better luck than I did considering how much time I've spent over the last 2 months logging in randomly and camping for hours at an end.

Got my baby ape just now after 3 weeks of checking for rain on Arthas, 3:45am. I logged in on an alt I had camped on the island 3 times in the past day at the tail end of the rain. I managed to catch 3 greens in a row, but couldn't find a rare. Now to get my snowy owl....

Commento di TheCheat54

Unfortunately, Pietra della Pioggia cannot be used to cheat the weather at Jaguero to spawn this pet.

Commento di DawnSeven

Just a thought for rare hunters. We all know we run around and kill anything less than a rare so that a new pet can spawn, but people get righteously pissed about killing apes. Maybe somebody is hunting a rare, maybe someone doesn't care about the quality and just wants the pet, maybe someone doesn't care because they're going to stone it anyway. It really doesn't matter (and who wants to have a conference about it?). So if you're rare hunting and find something other than your blue and forfeit, stick a raid marker on it and move on. That way someone else can grab it if they don't care and you won't lose track of where you were and waste time repeatedly engaging the same pet(s) as you run around.

I happen to see the 'baby ape' in my spell book and was like I have to get it. I went out to the cape and was there for about 35 minutes. I am very inpatient sometimes, so I said in general chat, "Gm's please make is rain". That was at 9:20 at 9:32 is started raining and I got my rare and my regular baby ape! Good luck, Don't forget to ask your GM's, they do care and they do see what we say!

I feel SO lucky, I left a toon on the island .. the second time I went back to check it was raining and there were 25 or so baby apes .. no rares but I did get an uncommon. Gosh I love this forum !

Commento di 1198939

Just got one of these guys today (Dec. 2nd, 2013). After reading some of the other posts, here's what I can verify:

It began raining (~6:26pm CST) on Staghelm
The rain stopped (~6:41pm CST) totaling about a 15 minute window
The baby apes immediately spawned when the rain started
The baby apes immediately despawned when the rain stopped
While spawned, they respawn surprisingly fast (I capped one, two others battled and I was still able to verify these details from a recently farmed section)

I hope this helps someone looking to catch these awesome little dudes =]

Commento di Dillioney

Got mine at about 3:30pm UK time, on Blade's Edge EU server.

Did a random login, wasn't even planning on playing and there was the rain! Saw two Baby Ape's, first one I killed by accident thanks to a freak attack, clicked on the second just as the rain stopped. Managed the tame and he is now mine!

Just to add for the record, if the rain stops as you are taming it does let you finish the tame.

Good luck, Dill

Want this pet really bad but got unlucky logging in and out to check the weather and don't wanna afk your main account character on the isle?

try this:

1 create a wow trial account.
2 log in to your fresh trial account and create a char on your main's realm.
3 open a 2nd wow client and log on to your main account
4 Get an alt on your main account to the island and park it, basically anything over lvl 50 will do.
5 Get the char on your TRIAL account to the isle, yes, it will be attacked, there is a nice tree on a small hill on the SE part of the island, sorta next to the big quest mob, my lvl 10 char was safe there. (you can have a main char protect the trial char, set to follow, move from bootybay together)
7 Once your trial char is safely parked, have ambient sounds on trial account play on background.
8 Commence gameplay on main account, when rain falls, log your parked main account-alt and cap your pet.

good luck

Logged onto Whisperwind at 11:08pm server time and there, miraculously, it was raining. Only lasted four minutes longer, so I must have hit the tail end of it. Fortunately, I had time to battle two and catch one (green) before the rain stopped. And, like everyone else has mentioned, you can catch them if you are already in battle when the rain stops.

Good luck, everyone!

Commento di Sternish

Man...I flew out on a whim to take a look around the Isle and literally like 10 seconds after I arrived it started raining. I flew over and engaged a Baby Ape only to accidentally kill it because I didn't have my Turnip out. I quickly forfeit the match to move to another, but the rain had already stopped. It couldn't have rained for more than 30 seconds. So as stated above, when the rain starts, get movin' and don't do what I did.

There is a simple way to get this little pet , if you are lucky enough to possess you can use it and summon an unnatural rain storm, wait a couple of minutes and you will see how this lil monkey appears in the surrounding area.

Commento di Lorage

You can add these guys to NPCscan (id is 61324) and after clearing your cache it will alert you when they spawn in the area. So you can park you character on the isle and do something else in the meantime.

Be sure to enable "sound in background" in the system menu and "unmute" in the addon options so you can hear it if you're alt-tabbed.

After the alarm sounds you have about 15-30 minutes (in my experience) before the rain stops and the apes despawn.

**if the alarm sounds you will need to clear your cache if you want to try again**

I can confirm pretty much everything that was said. I camped the island for about 6 hours today on Shadowsong US. The rain began around 11:00 PM (+/- 1 minute) and ended at exactly 11:21 PM server time. The instant the rain ended, the baby apes despawned. They were out in abundance, though, and seemed to respawn rather quickly. I wish you all the best in getting the ape, he's pretty neat. Just be sure to tell your guild and general chat when the rain starts! Be the pal that everyone wants! Happy hunting!

Just got this ape on Sisters of Elune. 7:55am MST / 8:55am realm time. There were at least 12 to battle. Found a rare on the 2nd battle.

To kill time, I had been leveling my flying pets against Shore crabs. Good luck everyone!

So at 1:30pm EST I went over to STV to do a raptor quest and noticed that it was POURING over the water, but the mainland was bone dry. Excited, I went down to Booty Bay and over to the island and...nothing. Bone dry, not a drop of rain anywhere. Was about to go back when the doorbell rang. Back five minutes later and I am in a bloody monsoon and there are baby apes EVERYWHERE.

Commento di 499650

An easy way to catch this is to turn your ambient volume all the way up, and everything else all the way down. I did this while watching my son. Two hours later I thought a typhoon was happening in my computer room. Be sure to check it randomly so that you do not get AFK booted from the server.

Commento di 1207188

I highly suggest camping an alt on the island and checking periodically. I did this and checked several times through the dat. At 5p EDT I logged in to find it raining. No apes. I ran around and asked some others it they saw them. Apparently they were all taken and waiting on respawn. They did...slowly. Got a common then a blue. Just when I thought it was a lost cause, they respawned and I got my baby ape.

My Own Experience:

In Draenor, As Horde,

I was camping today from almost 5:00am server Time stayed until 2:00pm it started exactly at 2:00 pm and remained for 15 mins. Loads of Baby Apes Appeared. The Isle was empty so it was easy for me to get one Rare and Two Un-commons. I even shouted in the General Channel and My Guild. Very few people showed up. So was easier to get my 3/3 Baby Apes ^^. I am satisfied since I waited one full day to this little creature to finish my .

Note: You can not miss the Rainy weather. It is very clear but you must be in the isle. I have posted some screen shots hope they get approved for you guys to see.

Good Luck!

Helpful Tips to Increase Your Chances at Seeing it Rain and Caging the Baby Ape

Baby Ape's location: Jaguero Island that is in the zone and off the coast of 'The Cape of Stranglethorn'.

When the Baby Ape spawns: This is another "weather pet." In this case, rain. Raining on the Island is completely random, so it can be a bit irritating standing around and hoping for the rain to start falling. One good way to increase your chance of seeing it rain is by checking another realms. Of course, we all don't have toons on multiple realms but you can check different realms with one toon, from one realm by using the "in-game que" that is used for finding a raid group for the Celestials and/or Ordos. Go to Jaguero Island, stand on the hill that is in the center of the island so you will have almost a complete view in your mini map. Face in the location where the only gorilla there is wondering around.(Can't remember his name) This is where most of the Baby Apes will be spawned;hit the "O" button. This will open the "/who window". At the bottom right there will be a raid tab, click. Next window will have a "other raids" button, click. In this window you'll check the Celestials and/or Ordos. When someone sends you an invite make sure it's from a realm that isn't merged with yours and click accept. It will send your toon to that realm. Wait a few seconds for your toon to completely make the realm jump.Beware: Your toon needs to be standing on the ground and not on a flying mount, flying. To be safe don't be mounted at all. If it's raining, run to the nearest Baby Ape, fight and cage ASAP. If not raining, leave raid group and RE-que for a chance at another invite from a different realm. This technic has been tested and proven. It Works! Also, a chance of finding a blue rare is VERY high. So stick around and keep trying, (or be nice and leave group so someone else can join) cause when the group is completely disbanded, your "realm jump" will be done.

started raining about 12:00am EST (11:00pm server time Sargeras). I was waiting about 30 minutes. It rained about 25-30 min. I found 3 greens (lvl9,9,10) 2 whites (lvl9,9), 5 greys (lvl9,9,9,9,10). My husband caught 2 greens (lvl9,10) he found his share of greys and whites too. There were 4-5 other people looking for the apes at the same time. There was a lot of time waiting around for them to respawn after they were all killed. But it was fun. I don't know that I will go back to farm a blue one any time soon but maybe after I finish everything else.

As of 10/18/14 at 11:04am on Garona it's raining on the isle but NO spawns. The rain will stop and then it starts pouring again. No Baby Apes. People who were on cross servers said it wasn't raining for them though. I don't know if I'm glitched or if it has to rain on every server at once?

Update: At 11:22 I decided to log and then log back in to see if I was glitched, apparently I was. When I came back it wasn't raining any more. -sigh- Way to get my hopes up Blizz.

Albert Hammond: It Never Rains in Southern California

Got on board a westbound seven forty seven
Didn't think before deciding what to do
All that talk of opportunities, TV breaks and movies
Rang true, sure rang true

Seems it never rains in Southern California
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before
It never rains in California, but girl, don't they warn ya
It pours, man, it pours

Out of work, I'm out of my head
Out of self respect, I'm out of bread
I'm under loved, I'm underfed
I wanna go home

It never rains in California, but girl, don't they warn ya
It pours, man, it pours

Will you tell the folks back home I nearly made it?
Had offers but don't know which one to take
Please, don't tell 'em how you found me
Don't tell 'em how you found me
Gimme a break, gimme a break

Wanted to park a chatacter from another server on the island, perhaps It'd be easier to catch some rain, but when I arrived, it already rained! Quickly grabbed a white quality one :)

Just confirming that I found my Baby Ape on Jaguero Island. It took me a few days of checking the Island at different times till it was raining and the Baby Apes showed up right away for 15 minutes. I tried for the 15 minutes to locate a rare and was unsuccessful. So I will keep trying for that. I don't remember the exact time. I had been checking at 6:30 and 8:30 specifically because someone above had commented that they found the ape around that time. When I found my Baby Ape it was only a quarter past the hour. Anyhow, I guess that is it. Good luck :-)

While I was in Karazhan area getting the restless shadeling, I noticed that it was raining there when I came out of the underground area. So I flew down to the island to see if it was perhaps raining there. I had about a 15 minute wait after I got there, and the rain started. Was able to get my baby ape and fly my hubby's character down there from stormwind just in time to get one for him also.

Not sure if there's any correlation to the rain between the two areas but figured I'd post it just in case... =)

Just got one.

Been sitting on the island for two days, off and on. It's Sunday evening and the rain started around 6:57pm and ended at exactly 7:15pm.

The rain was thick and loud. It got dark but you could still see the sky.

There was one other person, and we cleaned them out in the first 3 or 4 minutes. Respawns are slow, I only saw another 4 maybe before the rain stopped.

Mostly whites and grays, I got one green. The other player kept hunting the whole time so I assume they didn't find a rare either.

Hope this helps, don't give up :) and good luck!

I start frantically flying around because I can see people on the ground pet battling, and FHEWFKJWEFKL THERE'S A BABY APE!

The first one I clicked on was rare.

Some battle pets are affected by quests/phasing!

After camping Jaguero Isle for days with a level 85 mage, it finally began to rain, but there were no battle pets anywhere to be seen. Fortunately, the rain continued for several minutes...

I flew back to Booty Bay looking for battle pets along the way and saw none, so I logged on with my main character on another account and using Boots of the Bay, I teleported the level 100 hunter to Booty Bay and then flew both characters back to the island. It was still raining but for the mage, there were still no battle pets to be seen, but for the hunter there were Baby Apes everywhere!

After capturing a poor quality Baby Ape using the hunter, and then an uncommon, the rain stopped. Still using the hunter, I began looking for a Polly with the mage in tow. The hunter could often see battle pets where the mage saw none regardless of if he could see the mage or be seen by the mage.

One primary difference between the two characters is the mage has the BWEMBA'S SPIRIT quest and has Bwemba's spirit following him, whereas the hunter has completed that quest and cannot see the spirit following the mage.

Commento di Kjeldor33

After checking in here and there over the last few days, I thought, why not take advantage of the cross realm raid finder and try my luck. Just look for folks sharing their garrisons for the daily quests, and hop around until you find a server where it's raining. In about 10 minutes, I found two different servers. The first server, it stopped raining after I caught my first ape. The second, I was able to catch two P/P rares and a B/B uncommon. Rather than keep hunting for a B/B rare, I decided to hearth home.

Good Luck, and may the XR be with you.

I finally got it after like 3 days of casual camping.

Tip: When it rains and you don't see any don't think someone farmed em all or there are rare. Nope Just wait a while and then plenty of them will spawn.

Commento di 1450269

I just got one by hopping realms (after several days without seeing it rain on my realm). Took about 10 minutes to find a realm. I just wanted to tell you, if you get to another realm it takes like 2-5 seconds until you will see weather it is raining or not. So don't leave the group to fast.

Commento di Kiyosue

if you really enjoy leveling pets like i do and don't mind spending 2-3 hours there, this is what i do. i use the Rematch add-on, and put a couple dozen pets into the leveling queue. then i have two flying pets (two s/s rare crows), but any flying will do against the aquatics for powerleveling. i put my leveling pet into the first slot, then power level pets using the crows from 1-10 in order to level them further down the road like when we have the mini diablo garrison daily.

using both pet buff experience treats you go from 1-10 in a few fights. by spending a couple hours here leveling pets you are almost guaranteed to come across a rain shower. i've been doing this on and off for a few months and nearly every time i'm leveling it rains there and tons of baby apes spawn.

if you don't mind spending a couple hours leveling pets you can nearly guarantee a spawn by waiting it out. just hopping between realms and logging in every so often on a camped toon is giving you a slimmer chance in my opinion. have fun and good luck :)

I had been camping for the Baby Ape on Jaguero Island forever, six months at least! By camping, I mean one toon is parked there on the island, and I check in as often as I think of it, which has been many times. Then I made a breakthrough.

There is this lightweight add on called "Cross Realm Assist", , which you can get (free of course) on Curse.com and probably other places too. It allows you to realm-hop, by joining pre-made custom groups with auto-accept. You can kind of screen the groups too, so that you're not joining a group that doesn't want realm hoppers. I prefer to use the ones that are offering garrison services (like "come use my engineer's hut and the dust trader at my garry") and avoid the RP groups and other groups that are likely to summon me. Even though they often say "Custom PvE", be aware that some of the realms will be PvP realms. I would not however let that deter you, because Jaguero Isle is not a big PvP place. :) Chances are that anyone else you find there is either questing or looking for a pet, like you. Stay on your mount, in the air if you can fly, until it's raining and you spy your Baby Ape to battle. The area where you will be battling has King Mukla, a bunch of adult Bonobos and some "stealth" panthers, who are level 33 or so. If your toon's level is significantly higher than them, it will make for a much easier time avoiding these mobs or killing them if need be.

After getting the add on, I logged on my toon on the island, and started realm hopping. The first time I did it, I tried all the realms I could find (maybe 12 or so) and it wasn't raining anywhere. I spent maybe 15 minutes doing this. The second time I tried it, the fourth realm I tried, it started raining just as I arrived there. I was able to get my Baby Ape (a blue B/B first try, then the rest all seemed to be gray or white, but I wanted a P/B so I took a white one). I was probably lucky, because it rained for quite awhile after I got there, which is why I concluded that it only started around the time I arrived. People have all been saying that, when it rains, it only rains for about 15 minutes.

After I did maybe 2 pet battles, I had a hard time finding any more baby apes to battle, even though there was only one other person there who was also looking to get a Baby Ape. She and I flew around looking and looking it seemed for about 5 minutes, maybe longer, and there were NO green paws on the map. All of a sudden it seemed a bunch more spawned, and I had a number to choose from. I only tell you this so you won't get discouraged and leave.

Anyway, I highly recommend this method for getting your Baby Ape, and the add on has many other applications. It is MUCH better than sitting in front of your computer for hours, waiting for it to rain!

This has literally just happened to me:

at around 23:00 (00:00 game time) I thought id fly around pet hunting, and seeing i was near the cape of stranglethorn, I hoped it was raining. As I flew over, I noticed the rain, and got my hopes up, but then as soon as I reached the Isle, the rain and clouds disappeared.

I double checked to see if this was natural, and of course it was.

But as I was checking forums, I looked back into WoW, while resting on the isle, and IT BEGAN TO RAIN! (And as an EXTRA lucky bonus, the very first pe I targetted was a rare with random stats!) I know a lot of people said there are no triggers and you have to hope and wait, but, maybe, the fact that it was raining over the rest of STV, and waiting on the isle paid off, the rain soon approached. Maybe this is a sign to wait and hope it wont be long before the rain reaches the island, hope this helps.

Hopping on and off of my alts the past couple of days I finally managed to see it Raining on the Island on Dragonmaw. There were dozens of these little guys all over the island and my first was an Uncommon. Since it was raining I put in General Chat that it was doing so and had several other people come by to claim their little baby gorillas so they could make progress towards this achievement. This guy was the last I needed for the Eastern Kingdoms one so now I'm just waiting on that Snowy Owl and Minifernal for Kalimdor and then I'll have them all for Zookeeper.

Just wanting to pass the word on that if it's raining giving players a tell in the General Chat would be nice as it means less people camping and waiting for these guys to get the achievement.

I went to Theramore to try for Onyxia's mount again and it was raining. So on a whim, I thought I'd jump to Stormwind and fly to Booty Bay to see if by chance it was raining for the Baby Ape. It was. As soon as I landed, it stopped raining and instantly all of them despawned.

Hopefully there is some correlation between the rain in Theramore and Booty Bay. But gaaaaaaah!

Commento di Zaranae

I got this pet within like 20 minutes or so.

Easy way to do it: Use the "Custom Group" finder and join random groups that do some dailies or something like that on another server. Wait for the phase change due to servers and check if it's raining. I had luck with like the 15th group I joined.

It might not be the nicest thing, but it's very easy and possible to do it like this.

Commento di 1545845

After camping for a few days, I read some of the comments and tried logging in at 7pm server time to get the rain, alas, no luck. I did other things with WoW running in the background so I could hear the rain, if and when it finally decided to start. Finally at 7:30pm server time, 3:30am local, I was so tired and frustrated that I went on a killing rampage, after 2-3 loops around the island it started to rain and the baby apes were everywhere! I battled till the rain stopped and was only able to get an uncommon, but the quest is done, finally. I suggest killing everything over and over, it seemed to trigger the rain. Good luck

Realm assist works charms! I got him after hopping through the 7th realm

Commento di Romance

I know this will end up at the bottom, but another little tip for who wants this: Weather is different on different realms. I had alts on different realms on the island and checked them all every now and then, give you a much higher chance on finding rain. :)

Commento di MoDiFiEdLoRd

Here is my findings about this pet.

All of the times are Paris server time and all in the PM!

I was on the island from and to times, also during this i found the Hyacinth Macaw from killing the apes on the island while waiting

Commento di rrrof711

I didn't see Baby Apes even though it was raining. checked for secondaries. No Baby Apes as secondaries. Combat killed the strand crabs and about 2 minutes later Baby Apes! I had just clicked and heard the battle start when it stopped raining and it cancelled my battle so time is very imperative on this pet! New info, the Baby Apes do not respawn. Whatever types there are thats it until it rains at a diff time. They can despawn after initial rain and not spawn during the second rain phase.

Commento di Jasperius

I just went through zones to gather all kind of pets. Looked up how to get this ape... 10 minutes later it started to rain. I might have been lucky but the rain doesn't seem too rare. GL pet hunting =)!

Commento di Kliq

Caught out at 5:30am BST Sunday morning. Put ambiance volume to the max and alt tabbed out, soon enough it started to rain!

Commento di 1705881

Not sure if this helps at all but it rained at about 7:30pm server time

Commento di Vims

It rained today on my server(Neptulon EU) between 07:54am and 08:34am servertime.

I relogged my alt on another server(Stormscale EU) just to check, and it was raining there as well at the exact same time(not same servergroup or anything).
Just thought this might be helpful.

The Baby Apes were there for 15-20 minutes, then despawned for a while, before they spawned again for a second time.

Commento di sluggy108

I catched mine just before I started on this comment. I'll now try to list every relevant detail.

Luckily, it started raining a minute after I got to the island.
It rained for 21 minutes
Nothing happened for 9 minutes. Got really nervous.
Then they started spawning by the truckloads.
After 12 minutes, the rain stopped and every baby ape despawned at the same time. It sucks because I held a custom group open to anyone who wanted this pet but they all disappeared before they could get here. This conflicts with a lot of other comments here so I'm not sure if it's a bug.
The island doesn't look like it's raining even if you look at it from the nearest shore.

I highly recommend to just camp a character there while you watch TV or something. From my experience, logging in every 30 minutes could potentially make you miss this pet, though you would get it eventually.

Commento di katcall

I farmed this dang thing for the better part of a year, probably 4-5x/week, following all advice here with respect to certain times of the day the baby ape may spawn, and still no rainy island and no baby ape. The other day I showed up around 1:00PM server, found a rainy island, and a dozen baby apes running around. They exist but they sure are annoying to find for a beast pet that isn't even that great ability-wise.

Commento di Tynael

Today, 19th September 2017 I got my Baby Ape on The Maelstrom. The rain started at 19:30 and rained for like 30 minutes.

Commento di Ksb16rn

I camped out all day and at 1:00 am Dalaran server I decided to check one last time today and it was raining. I caught several poor and one uncommon before it quit raining. It stopped raining at 1:15 am so it must have started raining before 1:00 am EST.

Commento di Noctemus

Got one today. A interesting fact is that was rainning, and while i was battling the first one i got (a B/B one) stopped raining. The weather changed while battling. When i got him, i start to search around (some guys said that would still has others till 15 min after the raing stop) to get a rare, and i was not able to find any single one.

Commento di bomigabster

Took the advice of those who recommended camping a toon on the island. From what I hear the rain is random but I had also read a couple of posts where the apes appeared at around 7 p.m server time, and as it was 6:30 p.m I figured I'd hang around for a bit and level some little ones. The rain started at 6:45 p.m and there were Baby Apes everywhere for about 20 minutes.

It's a good place to hang around if you want to try to catch the ape as well as level some lowbies, I got a few from lvl 1 to lvl 10ish with a level 25 back up on the team. Gives you something to do while waiting.

Raining now on the isle. Already opened a group, don't know for how long the rain will last. Goldrinn server.

Jesus up a tree, that's some HEAVY rain.

....and it's gone. Oh well.

Commento di silentlyfree

The Jaguero Isle off the coast of STV is not guaranteed to rain when it's raining on the STV mainland.
I kept an alt parked and checked every now and then for the rain. Lightning's Blade 3am server time it was raining on the island.

Most of the Baby Ape's were poor quality or common quality.
After checking all of the Baby Ape's only one of them was uncommon quality with the breed P/P.
However, since pets quality can be upgraded to rare, the uncommon quality was welcome!

Commento di littlefish07

I like to think the reason why they come out in the rain is because they like to play in it.

Commento di Soulsseeker

Caught two rains today on the isle, didn't see a single baby ape initially, and not a single one spawned throughout the rain phases. Maybe it's bugged in 8.0 and they don't spawn? I don't want to imagine someone purposefully wiped them all out both times just to be a jerk.
edit: caught a third rain phase in the space of ~5 hours, and this time the isle was full of baby apes from the start. Some massive jerk must've killed them all the previous times.

Commento di ShadowMorn

I couldn't get this pet for what seems like ages, but today, on this sad and rainy day of summer, I decided to change my camping methods. Watching as tiny rain drops roll down my window I set the volume to 100% and play this masterpiece for an hour straight. Being completely entranced by the visions of some long forgotten words and ancient melodies, I suddenly start hearing the drums echoing deep in the jungle. I hear a fatherly soothing voice tell me: "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you". And then, as by the will of the God himself, It finally rains. Fueled by the zeal of my new-found revelation, I rush to the screen only to see little green paws appearing everywhere. Bless the rains down in Jaguero Island.

Just started raining at 1:05am (Argent Dawn), lasted less than 10 mins... Got unlucky and kept critting the baby apes to death in pet battle. .

Commento di Grammie

found out about this critter yesterday - it's critter week so I decided to check out what critter achievements I had left and eastern kingdom safari was listed - then I saw the baby ape (which I thought was only an out of game purchase reward)...came here to read the comments - logged on today at 01:30 pm EST (which would be 11:30 am server time) ...15 minutes of staring at the sky before it started raining and the babies came out everywhere...seven babies until I found a rare - but then I killed him in my excitement...could only stay 15 minutes due to an appointment so I can not say as to how long it rained.

Commento di Mananarik

Ok, funny story. I logged in to on my mage, to see if the rain is. I was lucky that time, and indeed it was raining, after catching baby ape i went to Tanaris, to check if sand storm is going, i was very surprised, cuz it was, so maybe they have the same timer... also i checked Un'Goro Crater, for Ravasaur Hatchling, the nest for it was spawned too, so maybe they all have the same timer, cuz before i checked none was there

Commento di Thisbe

Just for info, since Warmode in BFA (8.1), it can be raining in one mode but not in the other. I was camping the island in PVE mode, and it started raining. I called a friend to come get the pet, and they were in Warmode. The apes spawned for me, but not for them. Just something to note if you still want to try and camp this.

Commento di slonda

Is there an addon developer or scripter, that knows if you can run the addon with the addon looking for changes in weather constantly and flashes your screen when it finds a snowing or raining change?

Commento di Tecfan

The Discord "WarcraftPets" has weather notifications set up for EU and US. Invite link is here: https://discord.gg/FBtGdKU

Commento di Inumaru

I've wondered this for a little while now, is the rain on the island a lot more rare than the snowing in Cime Tempestose is for the Volpe Artica?

I ask, because it didn't seem to take too long to get the fox... but I'm not sure if that was partially due to there being quests available in Storm Peaks so the time went by faster, versus just sitting around on the island.

Commento di Zovesta

I've kept an alt on this island for four years. FOUR. YEARS. I log on infrequently, but that's still a damn long time to be looking for a pet. My poor dwarf is insane and cannot return to civilization anymore--he has become one with the jungle and lives among the primates. Anywho, today, somewhere around 5:30-6 CST, I logged on and there was a single Baby Ape on the island! The first I had ever seen in these four long years! There was no rain, and I hurried to dismount and engage it in a pet battle. Whoops! All my pets were dead. I opened up my collection to put in a live one quickly and--the Baby Ape despawned.
I cried for ten thousand years.

Update: Five straight hours of camping later, I finally got it. It was my last weather-related pet. Started raining at 2:50 AM CST... grabbed the first one I saw, then announced it in Stormwind so someone else can get lucky with it.
Unfortunately, the hunter is nothing without the hunt, and my dwarf remains alone and confused on that isle, unsure of what to do now.

Commento di Pneumonia

I just got my baby ape after only one hour camping.
Went to the island around 9:20 server time (server: Nagrand) and it started raining exactly at 10:00am server time (exactly noon New Zealand time).

I can confirm they spawn exactly when the rain starts, about 20 baby apes, and while it was raining in Jaguero Island it wasn’t raining at the cape of stranglethorn.

You can definitely see the rain even with the lowest graphic settings, and you can hear it too. Change your sounds settings to music:off and ambience:full

Commento di Progcrafter

I caught my baby ape. I had an alt on the island, and I would check from time to time. Then, I stayed logged on to that alt. I was doing pet brawls. I won one brawl. When that brawl ended, I saw that it was dark and raining. I flew around the island, and there were apes. This made me get the World Safari achievement.

Commento di Kimaell

The Baby Apes despawn as soon as the rain stops... This happened in front of my eyes while I was flying to tag one of them :(

Commento di Kirceratops

Today, I stayed on this island from 2pm to 7:30pm wherein it finally rained. Don't stop believing and find something good to watch in the meanwhile <3

Commento di Poonkie

I had 3 different alts on 3 different servers camping the island. I kept logging into each alt every few hours or so. After about 5 days it was raining on one server but no baby apes to be found. I was flying around the island for good 20 minutes before giving up. This is after 9.0.1 patch.

Commento di Arkamedix

I've caught him today but it was a bit strange:
I arrived Jaguero Island, it was raining, i saw a Piccola Scimmia on the minimap then suddently it dissapeared (i think phasing maybe?). But the strange thing is that after i didn't saw any other Piccola Scimmia, although it was raining. So i decided to try my luck, opened LFG, joined a random group and BOOM...10 Piccola Scimmia around me. Sadly none of them was blue, all of them where grey or white (not even green)...guess i need to use a Pietra Evolutiva Rara Notevole.
Anyway i am happy...this was the only "conditional pet" i was missing from my rooster..i was hunting him since almost 2 years.

Commento di Elaera

I don't know if this information will do anyone any good but I just got the ape and it rained from 17:53 to 18:12. So around 20 min.
And there are A LOT of these little apes! Where I was standing it spawned like 5 right in front of me. So there's no trouble finding one even if it were to be other players there too.

Speaking of, do try to write in the General local chat (shortcode /1 ) when it's raining so that others can get the opportunity too :D But maybe make sure you get one yourself first ;)

Commento di renegadegirl

I've been checking for weeks on my main server (Uldum) for the rain to catch one of these guys. After seeing a couple people recommend server hopping in this comments section, I decided to make an alt on another server (Blackhand) today just to park on the island.

After checking 6 or so different times today, the rain started at 7pm server time on the dot and I was able to get a baby ape!

Commento di Aquaserge

Just to put this out there, the island has its own weather pattern separate from the Cape of Stranglethorn. It can be raining in CoS, but not on Jaguero Isle, and so if you're going to camp this be sure to do so on the island itself otherwise you might miss the rain.

Commento di shotmachine

For anyone who happens to be studying online right now, I found that running a character in the background camped on the island to work great. Not only are you watching lectures and farming this badboy at the same time, but the ambient noise present on the island is also actually amazingly calming while grinding away at recorded lectures. I am considering listening to it even after catching one.

Commento di Marishke

Here's how I got a rare Baby Ape (and two uncommons) today after four hours:

1) Make sure whatever character you're on doesn't have Bwemba following you in Stranglethorn. If Bwemba is flying around with you, battle pets will not appear on the island.

2) I flew five of my characters (on five different servers) to the island. Make sure your characters are at least lv. 30 to easily deal with the mobs there, as you'll need to kill the mobs around the Baby Apes before starting the pet battle to make sure your battle isn't interrupted by a stealth cat or monkey.

3) I flew each character two lazy loops around the island to break up the monotony, mining and gathering as I went to pass the time, as I quickly noticed that immediately switching from character to character was driving me nuts and was pretty pointless. I spent maybe two minutes on each character.

4) At around 7:30am server time, one of my alts saw rain. My third Baby Ape encounter was a rare. I had enough time for at least ten pet battles with Baby Apes before the rain stopped - at least 15 minutes of rain.

5) Upon logging into another server, while hearthing, it also started raining there! I then caught two uncommons. However, the rain stopped very quickly on one of the servers, maybe 3-5 minutes.

Altogether, three out of five servers I was on (Sargeras, Stormrage, and Zul'jin) all saw rain between 7:30-8:05am server time.

I highly recommend turning on a TV show and just wandering from alt to alt. Eventually, it will rain. Good luck!

Commento di Jakobsson

I have been camping here a few days now. And finally it started to rain! But not a single ape spawned anywhere...

Update: While writing this comment it spawned! The spawnes were delayed 10 minutes after the rain had gone away for some reason.

Commento di Apolyptica

I had been logging into some of my trial chars every now and then who are located on Jaguero Isle until I finally got lucky.
For some reason however the baby apes weren't showing up, only the regular pets were there.

So I decided to quickly fly to Booty Bay and lo and behold, when flying back the Baby apes were now properly phased on the isle.
And I was super lucky as well, I did couple of fights and on my last fight before the rain disappeared, a rare one showed up, which I successfully captured.
The Eastern Kingdom Safari achievement was unlocked in the process using a trial character, so you don't have to worry about having to use some of your regular characters.

Commento di DCCXVIII

Finally starts raining in STV only for the rain to de-phase the moment you get near the island that the Baby Apes are on. Fly back to the mainland, it rains. Fly back to the island, no rain. WTF is going on here?

Edit: It appears the island has its own separate rain phase. You need to just camp the island and hope it rains.
