[Order of the Cloud Serpent] Onyx egg locations throughout Windward Isle
When can I start picking up the eggs?
You need to be level 90 to access the questline.Head over to the Arboretum in Eastern Jade Forest, where an npc will send you over to Windward Isle to kill some Saurok and guide cloud serpent hatchlings to their nests. At that point, you can choose the egg colour of your hatchling that you'll be raising over the course of many dailies. Once you have your hatchling and can do the dailies, you'll be able to pick up the onyx eggs on Windward Isle. You can turn them in back at the Arboretum with Elder Anli who will have a blue question mark over her head, for the repeatable quest "Onyx to Goodness".
Server restarts are a good time to find eggs! I found 10 in a swoop-over. Also some kind anonymous person provided an egg map, it's most likely not accurate yet but it might help too.
Happy searching!

Its very awesome how you screencapped every location, thumbs up for that, but is there a possibility to have it on a map, like your other maps, who show locations of certain "mobs/champions" maps.
ReplyDeleteWould save my day, because i really do not understand where every location is ^^.
Thanks in advance, and sorry for the question.
go grab Gatherer from Curse, once you find an egg it will mark your map automatically, this will mean you still have to look but at least once you have found them they are easy to find again.
DeleteOr just use Gathermate2 and Gathermate2_data. Import MoP-Data,and you'll see all possible Egg-Locations on your Map and on your Minimap
DeleteWhich MoP Data ?
DeleteBe sure Always show is on for treasure. You'll find Onxy eggs listed there. There is an option to import data, the drop down menu will specify the expansion (MoP) be sure to have it on merg to save any data you've already collected. Good luck, as of my first day, flew over with 3 toons at various times and haven't spotted an egg yet.
DeleteLoad MoP (Treasure)
DeleteReally nice guide. Can tell you put a bit of effort into this. Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteDo you need to do pre-quests to be able to pick up the eggs? I've seen a few and i can't loot them for some reason.
ReplyDeleteThe ones your thinking of are for a quest but the ones they are talking about are grayish black and you turn them in for Cloud Serpent rep.
DeleteOnyx eggs unlock after the dailies unlock.
Deletedo you know how often they respawn?
ReplyDeleteI've heard that they don't spawn for 75 mins, but then spawn at random for 45 mins.
Deleteyou should give us map and cords where you found it. its not easy to find places from pictures. anyt thnx
ReplyDeletecheck minimap :)
DeleteI've explained why there is no map in the text above. If anyone can put together a large scale map, that would make it possible but I have nothing useful to work with for this tiny place :-( It's really just a matter of flying around the cliffs in circles, and checking the other areas in between.
ReplyDeleteI understand atm you haven't been able to put a map up cause no one is willing to help i would if i knew how but for the time being is it possible for you to put up the x-y until that time that should help us look on our maps to see the coordinants. Thank you again though for your efforts.
ReplyDeletecan you show a picture of the hill from far away, so I can tell which one it is..otherwise, its hard to tell where these locations are.
ReplyDeleteDone, more or less. For the small map in the first pictures, it's the pink mark that counts!
ReplyDeleteI keep looking and haven't been able to find one.. Is there anything i need to do? i already handed in the quest where you pick a colored dragon egg, which then hatches... damn eggs
ReplyDeleteNo there's nothing you have to do, but if there's a lot of competition, the eggs are very scarce :-(
DeleteU don't know how much I love u!
ReplyDeleteVery helpful and great guide. These eggs don't show up on the addon Gatherer, so that makes it hard to remember where they spawn.
ReplyDeleteHowever, don't count on grinding rep "in a day or less" this way. They nerfed the spawn rate. Apparently the "quick spawn" of the eggs in beta was a bug and they fixed it, so now not only do the eggs spawn rarely, you have a ton of competition if you're on a medium--large realm. You might as well sit in one spawn point and wait for one to respawn if you hope to find any eggs at any rate whatsoever, or do it in the middle of the night or early morning when not as many people play.
Say good-bye to your social life (assuming you had one).
They do show on gatherer. be sure to check always show under treasures. You'll notice Onxy eggs are on that list. Then import MoP data, merge. That will show any eggs found by others and add yours to the locations.
DeleteI know this is very old , im trying for onyx eggs now and cant find one. Three days ago i went and found 3 immediately , havnt saw another since.
Deleteare you able to collect them if you completed that quest?
ReplyDeleteIt's now 02.48 in the morning. Been around on Windward Isle for about 2-3 hours and have found 5 eggs. It's alot less crowded now, so it's obviously a hot tip to do it at night. Skullcrusher EU.
ReplyDeleteUPDATE: 03.00 Just found another one.
DeleteUPDATE: 03.13 Found another one. Currently encountering an egg about every 15-20 minutes.
ReplyDeleteIt's one egg with a fast respawn, but currently it's in a place no one can find so no one is getting any eggs.
ReplyDeleteWhere is this place ive been looking for 3 hours havent found one not sure if there hideing or what no one here so strange i cant find em
DeleteLOL... Trolled.
ReplyDeleteHas there been any info on spawn rate decrease....i was getting 8 a day two days ago even with a full isle of egg hunters....last night....all alone....no eggs....
ReplyDeletei found 2 in about 2hrs leading up to the server restart but after i came across 3 in a few minutes.
ReplyDeletenight before someone claimed 10 RIGHT AFTER the server restart
fairly populated realm anachronos EU
4 a.m. I've been looking for 3 hours and there isn't a soul in sight. I'm guessing they nerfed the spawn rate to such an extent that there isn't really any point just looking.
ReplyDelete6:18 am. Looking for three hours, still nothing. Quite depressing.
ReplyDeleteservers just restarted. I am on a server where im pretty much by myself looking for them, ive noticed that once you find one, another will spawn in one the given locations. I got 16 in about 10minutes, but now i havent found one for the last 15. I think it's in some location i dont know about yet, maybe a cave or something. As soon as I find it, it will go back to spawning in the locations shown here
ReplyDeleteThey really arent worth searching for for or camping. I do a route or two when i do my dailies but nothing besides that. The respawn rate is ridiculously slow not to mention the other searching. I recommend if you must search for them get on one of the mountians before a server restart and get in as fast as you can so you can grab them as they respawn prolly net around 5-10k rep that way
ReplyDeleteI'm from Azralon, and my server is pretty crowded, so every time I tried to hunt these eggs it was impossible, with the extra high competition.
ReplyDeleteSo... I let them go, and just kept doing my daily quests.
Tomorrow I'll be exalted with Cloud Serpents.
Simple like that. ^^
My server has a medium population, but when i was looking for eggs two days ago,there was a high competition...
ReplyDeleteBUT: I was faster than they were and found 7 eggs in two hours. Lucky me :) I'm exalted with the Order of the Cloud Serpent.
Idk if it's been mentioned, but I found an egg on top of the tall white pillar at 66:30, keep an eye out for it.
ReplyDeleteI'll keep an eye out for that one, feel free to use one of the screenshots and add the egg to it and link it here, I sure have missed a few spots!
DeleteHere you go:

Great guide, I've been able to hit exalted with 2 characters with it :)
thanks for info and locations, i found 8 in about an hour and a half :) enough to get the rep i needed, proud owner of 3 cloud serpants now
ReplyDeleteI've searched until my damned eyes are bleeding. Does anyone know what kind of a damned spawn timer are on these?
ReplyDeleteGreat guide...here is the map of Windward Isle...hopefully someone can ping the spots and upload that version? ^-^

Ooooh! Just what I needed! Thanks! I'll see what I can do with it :)
DeleteI cant seem to pick up the quest.. are there any prereq's?
ReplyDeleteI've just included some information on this in the text, you're probably not the first person wondering :)
DeleteI found one on the tall pillar behind the nests at 66,31
ReplyDeleteI know everyone says that egg farming has been nerfed so bad it's a waste of time, but I just spent two hours on a Wednesday evening and got 14. That finished me off, so instead of a few more days of dailies, I get to fly my shiny new lizard around. Thanks for the guide. Big help!
ReplyDeleteThis was the easiest rep I've ever done. I just found 11 of them in about 15 minutes. No one around at 3:30 in the morning. Restart in a few hrs so I'll come back and try that too. You hardly need a map. they're pretty easy to spot on this little island.
ReplyDeleterepped all the way to exalted, and got my cloud serpent in a day with this guide!!!thanks worked great!! low pop server so i got about 28 today
ReplyDeleteon my server during the weekdays, late night US, there's no one there. i was able to fly around for about 3 hours in a circuit without interruption and it appears the respawn rate is quite random. in 3 hours, i never once saw it spawn more than 4 eggs at one time. in between, the eggs would spawn quite randomly in 1's and 2's in the various marked locs on that above map.
ReplyDeletethat being said, one egg sent me over to revered, whereby i bought the 100% rep increase item from the panda near the kite master. thereafter, each egg was giving me 1100 rep (+550 bonus). i ding exhalted with the eggs i collected over 3 hours after i did the new set of quests that opened at revered.
looking for the eggs, set environmental detail & ground clutter to low. also, move a distance away from the plateu where the eggs spawn. there is a point where all the grass will dissappear completely. if the egg is there, it will show on your screen without the grass/bush. you're also able to see the eggs from quite a distance away so you don't need to fly up to the actual spawn points to check if they spawned.
well I just got 11 eggs in an hour and a half spawn slowed down to a crawl so i went turned them in made some food came back 30 mins later and in the first 10 mins I now have 6 in my bag O.o
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Hit exalted in 5 days of dailies + egg hunting
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I'm lucky or what but I was barely into revered and so each egg was 1200 rep or so with racial and guild perk and double rep because of the commendation. Anyway I went to wowhead to see if there were any quests I missed (My brother hit revered ages ago so I went from neutral to exalted in one day) and I learned about the onyx eggs, then I just flew around and gathered about 16 in less than 10 minutes, handed them in, and voila .. exalted. It was 4 am server time on a Monday so maybe that had to do with it.
ReplyDeleteCan you find the same eggs over and over again?
ReplyDeleteI got 25 eggs today thanks to this guide :)
ReplyDeleteGaah reading about all this people finding a hundred eggs per hour..!! Can't find a single one, been flying around here forever.
ReplyDeleteHey... You have nice Blog.. Keep follow this excellent work.
ReplyDeleteCloud Point
really good blog I have already found 30 eggs bc of this blog keep up the nice blog
ReplyDeleteThank you so much it worked and now I have my serpent :) <33
ReplyDelete19:00 I found 11 (ELEVEN) Egg , Really Usefull website , thanks for your help mate ! :D Ragnaros Realm
ReplyDeleteThere is another one I've collected at 62.14, 31.73 Right above the one at that little valley spot.
ReplyDeleteGreat info and locations! Farmed 9 of these to finish off my exalted in about 15 mins :)
ReplyDeletego low pop servers haha
studying about all this people discovering a hundred egg hourly..!! Can't find only one one, been traveling around here permanently
ReplyDeleters gold for sale
nope..did several fly overs...no go...its easier to find the epic bind-on-account-items. Thnaks for the great work. Will hit it more thia week.
ReplyDeleteGreat Guide ! Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteI should get exalted within 1 hour !
Random dude here, I would like to say your map is very invaluable. Thank you so much for putting in the time to make this. :)
ReplyDeletegreat guide, shame they are always being farmed, and if you cant tell where they are from a picture do us all a favor and uninstall the game
ReplyDeleteGreat! However it's very hard to see on the pictures where it actually is. I mean, most cliff looks the same and the map on the pictures is too small.
ReplyDeleteUnless most people here I have not spend large amount of time on this little isle.
Again, it's great that you put effort into something like this but the pictures feels like small clues how to find it instead of showing "here is it".
I was getting tired of the grind to Exalted, and found this blog ... 4 eggs in about 6 or 7 minutes topped off my rep and got me my Cloud Serpent!
ReplyDeleteI found an egg you don't have :) 66,30.7 -- http://i.imgur.com/6Ey5uCD.jpg
ReplyDeleteI found some eggs, but I couldn't loot them. I don't know why, but it's creepy.
ReplyDeleteTook awhile for me to find any, my server is pretty busy Sen'Jin US, but I've found four so far and I'm not giving up, I only need 4 more to get exaulted, but I might go try getting a quivering firestorm from Houlon, which would put me close to be there, I've got the 100% increase so this will take me no time.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the guide. I'm late to Cloud Serpent rep as I came back after 4 years away from the game. It only took me a day to get Exalted. They must have made this rep easier at some point, because it was a joke compared to Netherwing which took a couple weeks...not that I'm complaining. Onyx Eggs seem much more plentiful as well. I collected about 25 in one evening, plus a few hours the next morning using your guide.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the guide! As of today, it's still working.
ReplyDeleteAmazing and ever so helpful!! In 15 minutes I was half-way through Honoured for just a couple eggs and dailies. I have a smallish server IMO, but i'm going to guess the respawn times are between 30-45 minutes per egg, or they spawn in random groups of 5-6 over the spots you pointed out.
ReplyDeleteNot working anymore. Eggs are anywhere but where they used to be. I think they randomly appear.
ReplyDeletehavent seen any eggs..did they nerf this?
ReplyDeleteI've still seen them, though there is a lot of competition for them. Try unusual hours.
ReplyDeleteFound 13 in under 10 mins at 6am on pst server
ReplyDeleteYour guides are so helpful and well explained.
ReplyDeleteNice, I was really dissapointed because the first day when i read this guide, I found just 1 egg, but today I had found 16 eggs, from honored 95% to exalted in 2 hours
ReplyDeleteI'm new to the eggs as well on Aerie Peak, and found seven of them by accident in about ten minutes. Now I know where to look since I only need about 15 more to hit exalted...thanks for the guide!!
ReplyDeleteif you have read this far down before farming the eggs, just a heads up. I did the rep thing on 3 toons during MoP to be able to use my cloud serpents on all. I was over farming them on my boosted priest when a friend told me that as of the last update, you no longer have to do this. I checked, and sure enough. even though I was not exalted and had not completed the "training" I could ride a cloud serpent.
ReplyDeleteAnd I was halfway thru revered to exalted. lol Save yourself some time.
Thanks to this guide, I got my cloud serpent in about a week. Yay!
ReplyDeleteI have only found one egg so far and in none of the places on the map. Is there any other way to gain rep faster?
ReplyDeleteTry serverhopping, if other persons are looking for the eggs, paired with a slow respayn rate, you won't find many up.
DeleteThis post saved my sanity grinding Rep for the dragon mounts. Thank you so much for the hard work.
ReplyDeleteComments like these make me happy, glad the guide is still useful after all these years :)
DeleteThis is amazing!!! Thank you so much for posting this! I am a returning player trying to catch up, and this was such a gem; I had never even heard of these eggs!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much. I got to revered in less than a day, probably have just one more day and I can get my mount! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for this, very helpful.
ReplyDeletethank you so much for this guide, I just activated my account again efter not playing since cata and i saw this mount and I have to get it :)
ReplyDeleteThis was still super helpful. THANKS! :)
ReplyDeletewere these removed from game or are they rare spawns? I can't find any.
ReplyDelete
