You can collect these bones by killing any dinosaur on Isle of Giants. Multiple bones can be looted of a single corpse.

Commento di Rossmallo

This is just a PTR placeholder, right?

....Right...?

EDIT: OH GOD THEY'RE ACTUALLY SERIOUS. Better get your grinding pants on, guys. This is the new Bloodsail Buccaneers.

EDIT 2: Might as well use my top-voted spot to add some information on this task itself.

Giant Dinosaur Bones are dropped in varying amounts from all of the creatures on the Isle of Giants. Every single creature on that island is a level 90 elite, and while some are soloable, others will reduce you to a bloody smear in seconds, especially the Primal Devilsaur. Bring friends to help. The bones are a 100% drop, and the amount from a single creature varies between them, ranging from 1-2 from the Zandalari Dinomancers, to around 40 (?) from the Devilsaur. It all boils down to if you can get some people to assist you in the grind.

There are however some extra benefits to grinding off these. In particular, the Dinomante Zandalaris drop four different pets, which due to the Battle-pet caging thing, can be sold / given away, or sold to a vendor for 60 gold apiece.

Two extra things I'd like to add. If you've not gone COMPLETELY demented by the time you get 9999, you can grind another 1000 to purchase a Istrice Spettrale , which is a companion pet. Secondly, enduring through it will give you a Feat of Strength, Che vita sarebbe senza un Raptor Primordiale Bianco?. Good luck, everyone.

EDIT 3: As of Warlords, this is now a lot easier, and not just because of the bigger level advantage - The bones are now tradable. That being said, if you don't want to grind all the way to 9999 and have bones left over from Mists, you can always sell them for a tidy sum now.

Commento di Mortifera

Actually, It looks like a new fun for the botters.

Commento di achievvhore

It is going to be fun times killing dinosaur's to collect their bones while alliance and hordes fight for the death !

But tho seriously, it might take a while but on the PTR one dinosaur from the Isle of Giants may drop more than one bone. So I guess blizzard is making that easy for us .. a little bit.

Commento di MooOfNagrand

Don't panic!

Bones are a 100% drop, and multiple can drop from the same mob.

It's not as bad as it looks!

Commento di Bigman1182

I seriously hope the 9999 is just a place holder. Imagine patch day with 29743972 people trying to farm 9999 bones...... I think the servers will be crashing ALOT....

Commento di applestrike

so where do u get this quest ?

Commento di Emsarrev

If you were to farm with two people, are you both allowed to loot bones or is it limited to one player per dino?

Commento di Redroach21

@ 1G 98s x 9999 = 19,798G 2s or many days of life wasted for an awesome mount.

Commento di TraX

The bones are to be turned in at this guy: Ku'ma <The Bone Collector>. He is located in the cave at the western side of The Isle of Giants. He has all the different repeatable quests, but he doesn't seem to do anything besides that.

Commento di Vimn

I did this as a group and we were able to farm up 3 people's 9999 in 3 days.

We did tank, healer, dps. We ran along the beach gathering the groups of 2 big direhorns and 3-4 smaller direhorns together and aoeing them down. While killing a primal devilsaur in a group of 3 is easy we found the tank vengeance and the multidotting from our moonkin brought our dps up across the board allowing for more efficiency. There are 5 groups of direhorns going west to east: White (Stephanie), Blue (Charlie), Tan (Rupert), Green (Dave), and Red (Stephen).

When you farm dinosaur bones you succumb to dino madness. We were naming the dinosaurs, talking dinosaur philosophy, killing dinosaurs on rocks so when they died they stuck straight up in the air. You name it.

Using this we were able to average around 10 bones a minute each. Keeping the bone distribution pretty even compared to some people getting the lucky 40 bone loot from Primal Devilsaurs and other people getting the crumby 13 bone loot from the baby devilsaurs. Assuming you can do it at this pace you're in for a 17 hour farm fest. I personally was the first one done and got my bone-white raptor before my Uovo Primordiale hatched.

Good luck and watch out for the dino-madness.

Commento di 776458

As an avid mount/pet collector, I have to say that this is rather silly. Ever since Blizzard made pets and mounts account bound, each one your characters can use them once you learn it. Ergo, shouldn't the items used to farm them also be BoA? Am I the only one who thinks this makes sense?

Commento di Faevel13

Currently grinding for this beautiful mount, as well as my chance at a Primal Egg. :D

Doing this on a iLvL 483 BM hunter with Terrorpene is quite simple. Just stick to the Primal Direhorn Hatchlings and you're good as gold.

I keep Serpent Sting and Mend Pet ticking away, as well as keeping my War Glaives and Kill Command on cooldown. You don't really need much else, minus Glyph of Mend Pet: The glyph on my hunter right now heals for about 25-30k per tick, which is about the same damage as their auto attack. There's also not much you need to watch out for, minus their charge. It doesn't hurt in the least bit, but make sure you're not on the edge of a cliff or close enough to get knocked into range of the elder Primal Direhorns, else things will get messy.

While it is quite the grind so far and I will be out here for a long time with memories of grinding for my Talbuks haunt me, it's not that bad. It's better than trying to get a group, as from my understanding no one on my server comes out here much, save for Oondasta, or waiting for my husband to come help, as he hates grinding for anything.

Good luck to those going for the mount! Wish me luck as well, because I'm going to be making Isle of Giants my new temporary home! xD

Commento di Voguerogue

Aside from the funny / informative posts, all I can see is overwhelming QQ, which I do not understand whatsoever...

This has been put in the game solely to be a pain in the backside grind for anyone who wants the challenge. Not up to the challenge? Carry on doing your boring dailies.

People have also been comparing the money you'd get from these bones if sold / given in for the other quests. The whole point of grinding 9999 bones is to get a a cool, hard to get mount. No monetary reward on top necessary. Don't like it? Carry on doing your boring dailies.

Commento di Sharinganedo

If you attempt to solo grind (like I am), I've found the Direhorn hatchlings drop 7-9 bones, while the Devilsaur hatchlings drop 11-13.

Better settle down with a good long Movie Marathon, like Lord of the rings, if you plan to go at it alone. It's gonna take a while.

Commento di filletr0n

If you have a Frost Mage, you can solo Cornofurente Primordiale pretty easily. Today I found out that Dardo di Gelo does affect the movement speed of the dino. So just keep 3 stacks at all times, and kite him around. When he casts Carica a Tre Corna just Blink to the right or left just before his horny heads gets you and you won't get hit. After a few kills you'll get the hang of it and you probably won't take any damage. I also suggest you use combined with Bomba Vivente or Tempesta Fatua. I usually take around 2 minutes to kill him, with 489 iLvl, food and flask. If you are a Tier 15 geared mage, this will be a walk in the park :)

Commento di Hashiclif

as destro lock 505ilvl I found it easy to solo most of the dinosaurs
Go with soul leech,shadowfury,soul link(makes it a lot more easier),grimoire of suppremacy and KJ cunning
use voidlord as pet and use the glyphs of demon trainning,siphon and healstone
Dinomancers:easilly done,no need to use ember tap or healstone,they drop 1-2 bones.THEY ARE NOT WORTH THE TIME
Direhorn Hatchlings : easilly done.to avoid the charge simply be close to them.These are the main source of bones for you
Primal Direhorns : a tricky one since you need to always have a ember available for sometimes they can dmg your pet(and you due to soul link) so you need to be able to use an emergency heal(if healstone is on cd)
Pterrorwing Skyscreamers: easilly done,mostly just sit there and dmg
Young Primal Devilsaurs : another easy one, just sit and dmg
Primal Devilsaurs : The only way to kill one of those is this(in my opinion): don't use soul link,use dark bargain instead(for emergencies).Have glyph of health funnel and use this ability as much as possible.no matter what the devilsaur will kill your pet so summon another as fast as possible(save one ember for Flames of Xoroth).When they are casting their interrupt stop at once the casting.Most of them are in areas where they are not alone so you'll need to kill the young ones and pull one of the big ones far away.I killed only one in all the farming.They drop a lot of bones but they are difficult to kill so they are not worth it.

Also since I've seen noone mentioning it Oondasta too drops some bones(9-13 as I know)

hope this helps,good luck and have fun hunting

Commento di duranox

After spending 3 days nonstop grinding as a blood dk. I can advice any dk that want this mount to go for the Primal Devilsaurs on the west side of the island.

Commento di Qrio

As a windwalker monk (569 ilvl) it goes quite fast - you can kill basically everything (with some good CD usage even the Primal Devilsaurs). Took me 1 hour 15 minutes to gather 2000 bones, 6 eggs (which I vendored, since i got all 3 colors already), 2 stacks of dust, 10 essences, 3 direhorn pets, 1 ankelbiter & around 70 gold from gray items. Depending how determined you are, you can do it in about 2 days with the breaks.

Commento di zatos0

With the current Patch, the bones ARE NOT ANYMORE SOULBOUND!
Whic means you can buy them from AH, or even trade!

You welcome :)

Commento di Dayis

If you have 9,999 bones and are having issues turning this in(As I did), go farm some more bones. I had to farm a second stack of 33 and when I turned it in to get the raptor, I had 24 bones left(So, I guess it really requires 10,009 bones? lol)

Commento di Undeadlalsur

At level 100 this gets super easy. Even better if you are a hunter. Do not need to have your pet in tank mode, me being a BM hunter managed it fine with my pet in cunning spec. Adaptation helps too. Made a round around the island got 999 bones.(weird how that works considering I killed every dinosaur within my range.)

So basically you make 10 rounds around the island. Took about an hour. Saw about 4-5 rare drops of pets. I am not that geared either as Warlords expansion just came out. This island is also a skinners paradise.

ps: In case you are wondering, yes I also did try to solo Undasta with a tank pet. Still hard to do, I take substantial damage. Maybe in end content raid gear it might be feasible.

Commento di bruenir

As most posters have said, killing the dinos is easy at level 100. Pretty much any class, any gear level. Yes, it's a lot of bones and will take you some considerable time. The main issue these days is that on almost all realms there will be a dozen people competing with you for the dinos. Using the group finder you can now look for custom groups for people with "auto accept" on and hop around to different realms till you find a less populated one to kill dinos on. Most people forming groups will not kick you out.

Commento di Yogthsothoth

As of level 100 this place is full of bots and it's a waste of time to even fly there unless you want to fight for the devilsaurs.

Commento di artpursuit

You can just buy the Giant Dinosaur Bone AH. Bigbrain.
