Can be found in the Bloodfin Grotto in NW Nazjatar.

In order to get mount, you must use the S.E.L.F.I.E. Camera and capture him in the frame. Multiple people can get him.
As of time of writing, he can be aggroed and held to get multiple people the mount.

Note, if he goes through the water, its game over and you are back to waiting.

Fabious is one of the new mounts of 8.2 and the way to get him was just discovered by the Secrets Discord! We don't know his exact spawn rate yet, but he spawns at Bloodfin Village in Nazjatar, around the 25,29 area (Coordinates).

In order to get him, go up to him and simply snap a quick selfie (with the Fotocamera S.E.L.F.I.E. v2 toy) with him, but be fast! He does a quick little walk around for 2 mins and then is gone again.

NOTE: ~~You can't be on his agro table, he will not be awarded in your bags if he is locked in combat with you, so keep a safe distance!~~ Can no longer be tagged/aggroed. He's immune to all damage

Locations below:

How to get:

1. group finder > custom
2. seach for Fabious
3. go to Fabious location:

/way nazjatar 27 30 Fabious
/way nazjatar 39 54 Fabious
/way nazjatar 28,0, 32,2 Fabious

Commento di Grim32

I'm surprised there isn't more screenshots as the requirement of the mob is literally getting a screenshot.

Commento di Suraf

This NPC has a chance to spawn at Bloodfin Village, yes. But not only that, also has a chance to spawn at Chitterspine Caverns, located just west of the Gate of the Queen.

Commento di TarrynItUp

Can someone please confirm if he can be killed by people who don't know how to obtain the mount? There is a lot of speculation early on and a video that said he can be killed. Hoping for an answer, cheers!

Commento di VSUReaper

This is probably a dumb question, but how the hell am I supposed to do this? I fire up the selfie camera and all I can see is my tauren's nose - nothing else really, especially nothing behind him.

Is there a way to get better angles/farther distances when using the selfie camera?

Commento di sadistic12345

since yesterday they turned the spawn off, people sit above 11 hours and he doesnt appear. really makes you think doesnt it? look for yourself

Commento di Ghost81486

Our raid group found him at 48,85 just to the east of the Wreck of the Old Blanchy flight point in the far south. He can and will spawn there occasionally so if you're camping be sure to have at least one person down there or you very well might miss him.

I would submit a screenshot of him being there, but it is a selfie at a really really bad angle. But still got credit. https://imgur.com/WUlQeVN

Currently, known areas this NPC appears in the following areas currently known:

Bloodfin Village
Chitterspine Caverns
The Drowned Market

I'm not sure on his paths yet, but on Moon Guard realm around 11 PM server time I spotted the NPC and alerted the zone. Me and a few others there managed to get our selfies with the seahorse.

Commento di itsnotemy

If you use NPC Scan you can manually enter his NPC ID 65090 and just wait near the area you want to farm. I waited in Bloodfin Village and as soon as he popped NPC scan alerted me, despite not being classified as a rare. Happy Hunting :)

Commento di Alakina

Confirmed to spawn at the Queens Gate 40.11 and The drowned market 75.52, 2 different raids missed him both times, saw him dissappear.

Commento di Theplaguecrow

Just spawned for me inside the Brinestone Cove, northwest corner of the map to the left of the Gate of The Queen.

Commento di meganerd18

Just spawned at 3:05 AM EST.

Edit: And... a downvote because?

Commento di Purrfavor

Location: Confirmed at the North area in Chitterspine Caverns around 38, 12. I was the first one to see him, but I might have missed a few seconds: he was already out of the water wall. He flied around the area and went through the water wall, to finally disappear.

Verify Fabious presence: Make sure you have a macro ready to target Fabious. (/tar Fabious). He will NOT show as a rare on your mini-map.

How to get the mount: You must take a your S.E.L.F.I.E camera and get both Fabious and yourself in the shot.

Spawn timer: The group I joined was apparently formed for about 10 hours, so I'd say that it's possible that Fabious respawns up to 12 hours.

Recommendations: Get ready to use your Hearthstone at Newhome, or your whistle to get to the right location really fast. Put the Fotocamera S.E.L.F.I.E. v2 in your bars, because the de-spawn is about 2 minutes and by the time you get there... it's already short on time and stressful enough! Other consideration: you could use Bardatura di Cuoio Grezzo to avoid being dismounted and get Pozione del Piè Veloce, just in case you need a speed buff!

Other spawn locations:
I'd say the easiest to get Fabious is to have a full raid group and several people at each spawn location (in case someone goes AFK). For other locations:
/way nazjatar 38 12 Fabious
/way nazjatar 27 30 Fabious
/way nazjatar 75 51 Fabious
/way nazjatar 49 85 Fabious

Stay purrdy and... happy selfies!

Commento di JNetRocks

Just wanted to add a little more info as I've been camping the last two days and got my Fabious today.

1. NPC Scan with Custom Code 65090 helps a lot! This will make your monitor flash colors or play a sound when he is near.

2. You can take the picture with the standard, unupgraded, Fotocamera S.E.L.F.I.E.. You do NOT need the upgraded toy version. I got the mount today using the standard version.

3. In one group I was in we missed Fabious because someone said he came from behind them and they only saw him for a few seconds before he disappeared. I experienced the same thing today at the northern spawn point in the cave. Fabious did NOT trigger NPC scan or come visually out of the waterfall. There were 3 of us camping the spot. When my NPC scan went off Fabious was already heading TOWARDS the waterfall wall. We only had about 15 seconds to get him, rather than the 2 minutes people have been saying. Not sure if it's just positioning, but hard to imagine all 3 of us missed him coming out of the waterfall, so he might spawn to the south then walk north?

Commento di Didymuscle

Some tips and observations after camping for a few days.

Highly recommend you station someone with Silver Dragon addon at your chosen locations to camp adding the npc id 65090. As noted otherwhere, if you use the Sketch Filter on camera you can look through the waterfall. The core 4 locations you can see a raid boss behind them, and we tested using those Raid Boss ID's and the addon made an announcement. Fabious has been also stated it is detectable through the waterfall swimming slowly before available to players. This is important as it gives people an additional 2-3 minutes of reaction time. Whereas being a group solely relying on someone taking their own photo, typing i found it, etc, people whistling out, flying, traveling. That is a lot of wasted reaction time for the ~1 min of being in the wild. First group I was in, it was literally 30 seconds after the guy announced and was gone. Silver Dragon detecting behind the waterfall is a MUST.

There was also debate on the locations. It makes no sense for the spawn locations at Horde and Alliance bases. Were those coords detected during launch when NPC was kitable? Logic questions those locations do not share a raid boss NPC past the waterfall using the Sketch Camera filter.

Another problematic issue we had was automatic Sharding/Phasing. Another group I was in began on the South American server pool, which would sound like a good idea targeting low-population. However, you might stress to your raid to remain covertly and do NOT talk in General Chat. I suspect our raid was reported by native players for intruding on their Portuguese only speaking population by carrying on in English. Another possible thought is to not necessarily cap your raid at 40 to prevent automatic shuffling / wasted day by system offloading you.

Finally, a clue we had utilized was placing markers on a location and an NPC, such as a snail to give us clues to if we were sharded off. Chances are your Fabious will NOT appear on the western coast where people seem to form most at, so it is a good idea to plan ahead. Set your Hearthstone at a location where you can quickly travel to. Like first example, only 2 people out of 40 were able to travel to Fabious in time from West location all the way to Southern Tip. A problematic location of fast travel in particular is the North location, I like that one, you can travel up the ledge by waterfall at 41, 10 .. /lay down with your sketch filter camera and watch the fish while you binge on TV shows undisturbed by aggro. Futher stating the obvious, rare hunting you want to be Warmode OFF to avoid horde nuisances. Another issue someone mentioned is sharding is possible with the raid leader's changing. So if you're going to do this, lead with the long haul or you possibly are screwing everyone out of a day for nothing.

Commento di DogterDoom

Spawned around 49 85, stayed for 3 minutes, swam back into the waterfall and left, I believe the group I was in at the time was citing a 11 hour 30 minute-12 hour wait time in the same shard, using markers to keep track in case of changes. It does exist, believe people!

Don't forget the budding deepcoral item to let you fly this majestic beast in naz as you go, you're worth it :P

Commento di m4tizeq

I just got a mount, as a tauren I used /lay, this way my body didn't cover almost anything.
If you got it and can fly, don't forget to buy Corallo delle Profondità Germogliante ! It makes your underwater mounts flying in Nazjatar.

Commento di astha

Spawned 10 minutes ago on Drenor EU.

Commento di FireVixin

Can confirm Fabious spawns at: /way nazjatar 75 51 Fabious

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/170730522694254592/600623177345007627/unknown.png

I ended up using this macro made from Xirev from the ptr thread for him.

/cleartarget
/tar Fabious
/stopmacro
/run local mp = C_Map.GetPlayerMapPosition(C_Map.GetBestMapForUnit("player"), "player"); SendChatMessage("%t is at " .. tostring(floor(mp.x * 100)) .. ", " .. tostring(floor(mp.y * 100)), "RAID_WARNING")

Also to note: you can use the Sketch filter (#2) with the selfie camera in order to see him before he comes out of the wave.

He despawned at 81, 50

Commento di Synthis

One thing to double check before you go looking for this beauty:

Make sure you have no 'active' extra action bar or your selfie camera may not work properly.

Don't make the same mistake I did. I'd been camping with different toons across a few servers with the camera ready and raring to go when needed. Even made sure I had both NPC Scan & SilverDragon running with the custom ID number saved so if one didnt work I had another to fall back on. Totally prepared for it. Well I just happened to be on a toon that had finished up Mechagon dailies and decided to park her over at Bloodfin Village.

Lo and behold, soon as I got to one of the areas, the scan shows Fabious coming out of the water. In my excitement I fly over, dismount, got the selfie angle ready AND......nothing. I see that the action bar for it was not showing. I panic as I see this seahorse gliding nonchalantly behind me getting closer and closer to the waterfall and seconds later it's gone. It stayed up for maybe a minute at most. All the preparation and camping I had done only to be thwarted by the extra action button Sputadardi . No Mount. Feelsbadman. I admit that it was my fault that I didn't right click the buff off to make the button disappear once I zoned in but live and learn. Good luck hunting!

Edit: Finally was able to get the mount with no button shenanigans. :)

Commento di Yanathan

I would like to think that I'm not the only person to see this beautiful creature and had no idea what to do. It was too beautiful to kill, so did not even target it.....If I did, I would have know I couldn't....I just looked at it and said to myself. "This has to be a rare but....What do I do" Pity I read this post after it disappeared....Too late.....SMH

Can confirm I saw it at the bottom right side of Tides fall, not far from the flight path and by the waterfall.

Spawned around 49 85 at 5:40 Azralon

Commento di Alechs777

The short version of the story of my experience with the faboulous boy:
I saw him already spawned, around 40, 11. The Maelstrom EU, 23:55. WM off. He's rather small and could be hard to notice without an addon.

Okay, so a not-so-short story.

I've tried getting him before (it's a bit of an exaggeration honestly, I flew around spawn points from time to time), but this time I wanted it done properly. Because of the ridiculous amount of free time I decided to get him. No matter what (an exaggeration again, because well, I do need sleep and have other stuff to do).
I left my paladin alt (Sporeggar EU) with WQs unlocked in Nazjatar probably a week ago? Low item level, WM turned off. I would check the spawn points (going from the southern one, through the murloc village, the northern one and the Market one, then logging of back at southern one) now and then every day (about 4-5 times a day), various times of the day, spaming targetting macro. No luck (although I killed Soundless once, obviously no mount dropped - seriously, does it even exist?).
Yesterday after being lucky enough to get the Crimson Tidestallion on my main (and finding Murloco after turining WM on like people suggested) I decided to turn WM on said alt aswell. No luck again, despite numerous realm hopping. I seriously started to doubt the existance of the NPC in my reality - no camping groups, not even a sign of him.

About three days ago I also unlocked Nazjatar on my hunter alt, on a realm with "normal" level of population. I stopped the questchain before unlocking WQs. I tried the same tactic as on the paladin; but I didn't turn WM on. No realm hopping for the character either, since I had no WQs unlocked. My route was: Murloc village, north, Market and south, logging off in the village.

Today (yesterday, technically) before going to sleep I wanted to check the spawn points once more, as usually. Paladin first, no luck. I logged on my hunter and took the regular route. Already tired I made my way to 40, 11 spawn point. Before reaching the "cave", my NPCscan went off (after I had added the custom ID), and after being used to encountering rare worms in the area I wasn't that happy, but then I realized it's Fabious himself!
He was moving slowly, I qucikly landed and took the picture. I was being attacked by the vicious crabs (and killed eventually). My hands were shaking a little, but I typed a message in the /1 chat. Aaand then my huntress died again. I made a group in the group finder but no one joined. The whole thing took like 30 seconds?

I rezzed and ran out of there and watched as Fabious dissappeared in the water.

PS I am pretty glad my alts are now freed from their camping duty! :D

Commento di EatFish

Just flew over Murloc village, and he decided to take a show ride in front of me!
(He circled over the lake, before heading into the waterfall which took 2 minutes for Favolus to complete! )
Took selfie (2 tries) Favolus obtained.

Wm was on.
Was flying around checking his spawns in between Battlegrounds.

;=)

Commento di Dreadalous

Although I have the /tar Fabious macro which I spam in the relevant 5 spawn areas I wasn't expecting him to be up while casually flying to my next world quest...but there he was merely seconds from disappearing into the water's edge at coords 78/52. Snap-shotted him with the selfie cam and a loot graphic appeared and he was in my bags. The pic I took aint great as my flippin Antorus Shaman helm feathers are blocking most of him as I was so excited lol. Didn't have time to list for a group unfortunately but gl to the rest of you.

Commento di Tylundja

spawned today around 4:30pm cst on Malganis US with WM on.
he moves really slowly around the area and was up about 3 mins.

Commento di Healeos

Perenolde at around 7:25am server time (chitterspine cavern) then again around 3:15pm server time (murlock village). Missed it the first time, but now I have it!

Commento di Vulpesia

Something that I have yet to have seen definitively answered - what height does he spawn at? Is he going to be at ground level or will he be more up in the air coming out of the water walls? Now that we can fly I'd hate to be flying 'too high' for my macro to find him, esp since it seems like there's no clear agreement on which addon is going to be the best/most reliable to trust to simply ping if it catches his id... Any help now that the zone is less chaotic and more of us can fly /and/ have more time on our hands to camp/farm for the obscure stuff would be a great help! =)

(Perhaps that information would be far more helpful (and upvoted) than a jillionth "I got him here/when post"...)

Commento di deacontaylor

i didnt even know this was a thing. was doing another quest in the goblin village in the northwest and it floated past me. couldnt hurt it and quickly googled to find out wtf was going on. what other mounts can you get in weird ways like this?

Commento di Doom5

If anyone is unsure I want to confirm that the S.E.L.F.I.E Camera that is *not* a toy, can be used to get Favolus. This camera Fotocamera S.E.L.F.I.E. can be used successfully. It just worked for me today and I got the mount.

Commento di wowZhenek

Has anyone tried farming this mount after server restarts?

Commento di Dreadalous

Joined a raid grp of about 20 of us all got spots covered. Got it 30 mins after I joined.
RL spammed coords once it spawned and EVERYONE got it :D

Commento di Drozee

Spawned today on Ravencrest EU WM OFF at 27 30. Took a circle of the lake and disappeared.
10:49:45 SPAWN
10:53:52 DESPAWN

Commento di dpb67

Found him after spending about 9 hours just going in circles around the map checking each spawn point. He spawned at the southern location and I had only about 10 seconds to get him before he despawned meaning this method is very tight time-wise but is pretty much the only option as there aren't really groups for it these days.

Commento di ScreamOutTears

Join a groupe today at 1PM. They camp since 8AM, Fabius spawn at 4.35 PM total camp was 8 hour 30 minutes

Commento di Nadalya

Solo camped this today for about 6.5 hours and he finally spawned at the Drowned Market location. He was up for about 3 minutes. If you're using an addon like Rare Scanner, be sure to put his ID number into the custom list and it will send an alert when he spawns, if you're close by.

Commento di Unnatural79

Hi, I have two questions:
- In the map above there's a spawn point just north of the Alliance camp, is it proper?
- Does toggling warmode on/off affect the phasing for the npc too?
