Took me 3 months to get golden talon i had over 1500 griffon meat saw pretty much all other hunter mobs many times. This is about as much fun as south karana which im down to two mobs.
This zone for hunter is annoying. I have been here a while now (days) and no named except one siren. Come on man, let's get with it, I won't be alive forever.
I have spent so long in Jaggepine that I think I should be listed as an NPC by now =) . Always checking track, killed thousands of griffs, and have only seen Swiftclaw once, never seen Fiercewind, and Golden Talon remains an old wives tale. This zone has got to have the most infrequently spawned nameds that I've yet seen. Excepting the potameids that is. The queen and Myr seem to up fairly often.
Ive soloed in JP from 46 to 51 (where im at now) on the al' kabor server. Must have killed thousands of griffons, just got my first eye today. Never ever even seen Golden Talon.
This guy spawned about 20 minutes ago, and if it hadn't been for those damned wolves I'd have gotten him. Does anyone know if the QRG Protected Animals quest is broken on Stormhammer? I've done it over a hundred times and never seen a change in faction with the animals.
I cant tell you the exact drop rate on the Griffons, it seems very random. I have hunted griffons on and off from about level 40 and still visit at 52. Some days there are no drops at all (I know this as I have been the only person in the zone) other days I have seen 3 drop in a couple of hours. I have had 6 or 7 eyes in my time and have seen a few rot too!
Dose any one know the drop ratio on the eye on normal dudes like griffons and griffawns? i just heard bout golden talon. how do u get him to spawn? and where dose he or is he a random spawn?
I'm not sure of the drop rate of the Eye of regular grif's, but when I got mine I seen grif. glowing like a willowisp. So i took him out and got the Eye. Hope this helps
i have a lvl 58 necro, i killed this guy soooo fast, it was soooo easy, first i summoned pet, then i snared him, he was heading to me i sent pet to attack, then i feared him and then my pet finished him off was really easy, i got the eye for my druid and now finally my druid has 255 wsi =D.
Golden Talon Does exist! Got him to spawn by killing turtles. Just guessing, but I think he spawned instead of The Pure One (Potameid) She seems to spawn every 6 hours. But not tonight. Got the Golden Boy instead. This is my sixth eye so you can guess how many griffs I've killed. Killing Giffons does not make him spawn.

Posted:Nov 19 2002 at 11:03 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Never seen him, never spent time in JP really.. Went for about 10 minutes, killed 3 griffs, got my eye, then left. /snicker
I got one of these to drop of a regular timber griffon. Must be a rare drop for them. I had killed 50 to 100 of them before this dropped. Nice range item but pain to remove everytime to sell because of the neg 20 on charisma.
