Listen up, sugartits. Yes, you. This is what you're going to do. Pick a spawn spot, any spawn spot. It's random across all 4. No hot spots. Go sit there. Fuck a spawn timer, fuck a window, fuck all that. Find other campers, say hello, be nice, don't be a fucking idiot. Here are the spawn spots:
Alright. Park exactly in the middle of the spot you see TLPD's bitch ass come out in the gif. Build a macro. Fuck addons, they can't be trusted with old shit. BUILD A MACRO. Hit it a lot. Replace INSTANTCASTSPELL with whatever aggros shit and doesn't do damage. find a random mob and test shit. if it jumps at you when you cast it, but you do no damage, fucking go with that.
/cleartarget <==== this helps not accidentally cast on a mob or opposing faction or whatever. fucking helpful, trust me.
/tar time- <===== i put this dash in there and leave it at that, no player will have a - so fuck it. won't target any other shit.
/tar vyragosa <===== Unless some prick hunter has a pet named vyragosa or some dickbag player is named that, should be gravy.
/stopmacro [noexists] <===== vital as fuck. don't want the rest of the shit to happen if you haven't targeted one of the dragons.
/script RetrieveCorpse() <===== put this in if you're on a WARMODE ON version. don't fucking pvp. will explain below.
/cast INSTANTCASTSPELL <====== examples for non damaging spells, warlock i use curse of weakness, spellsteal on mage.
/p %t <==== this will announce to party that you have a target. hopefully fucks in parties will spend their time waiting by repeatedly checking the map to make sure they're clear who is where, so when shit spawns they can haul balls towards the spawn.
/stopattack <==== THIS IS FUCKING VITAL. if you give a fuck about not being a prick and actually work with your party members you hopefully grouped up with to cover 4/4 spawns. this way, if you're in normal mode and level big as fuck, you can hit the shit with a non damage spell to make it swing wings at your fucking face. and the stopattack will keep you from one shotting whichever dragon with white damage.
WANT TO TELL A MOTHER FUCKER WHAT SPAWNED, AND WHERE? SO YOU KNOW THEY KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THE FUCK YOU'RE SAYING? AND HAVE ACTIONABLE, SPECIFIC INFORMATION?
download: NPCTIME. <== click the name. load that shit. type /npctime layer. make sure it says "npc time: show layer id." if it says hide, type it again so it says show. also because fuck it why not, type /npctime id, so you can see mob id too. because fuck it, information. so when shit dies, mouse-over it and screenshot for reference, and when you announce where something died, chromie WMon, for exmaple, say Chromie WMon 3886-22. That will be "Layer". Aka, Instance ID. This is very, very specific. What server you were on doesn't mean shit. A whole bunch of reasons why.
that's it. don't fuck with pvp. i've seen fuckloads of people lose TLPDs to dicking around with pvp. Ghost yourself. kill yourself at spawn. Go sit at your body as a ghost. you can see exactly as far at your body as a ghost, as you can live. take yourself off the pvp table. don't feed into it. they'll fuck off much faster if they have nobody to fuck with. Use /console set ffxDeath "0" to disable the annoying blue monochrome shit death effect. sit. play dead. they won't know if you're even logged in, fuck 'em. and remember, if you're looking for shit and find shit, as long as your buddy has a toon in either WmOn or WmOff in whichever side, you can invite them to your party, turn on party sync for quest shit and they'll get pulled over to your crz shard/version/instance, and cross the border between chromie time and regular time.
remember, tlpd is melee. it'll blink behind you. if you're at level, don't underestimate it. it's not vyragosa. it'll take you by surprise if you're not prepared.
Can be anywhere from 90 minutes to 5ish hours between spawn. rarely faster. very rarely slower. usually 2-4ish hours between. I always say just fucking camp, just go camp. if you sit solid, people can't come through and see you there and assume it's a likely spawn window. so just sit there and make the fuckers wonder. good luck.

what the fuck are you scrolling this far down for?
so, if you accidentally kill it in a way where it lands in a wall and you can't loot it - try pulling a mob over if you can, and kill it so you can reach with AOE looting. fucking pro tip from Adagio-Dalaran. Hero shit, right there.
