How to Camp Time-Lost Proto-Drake

If you are in a group of 4 or 5 people then every person can cover one spawn point each.

If you are camping by yourself then that might not be ideal as it's pretty difficult to cover all the spawn points. You can either camp at a single spawn point or fly laps as shown in the image below.

Tagging Time-Lost Proto-Drake

If you are in a party or want to share the Reins of the Time-Lost Proto-Drake with your friends then make sure that your party is in range of Time-Lost Proto-Drake before pulling him.

To safely tag Time-Lost Proto-Drake at least one person in the party should punch him without having any gear equipped. This way you will not lose the tag to another group or to the opposite faction.

The other people in the party can safely tag Time-Lost Proto-Drake without damaging it by using a Fruit Basket or any other non-damaging spell such as an interrupt or taunt. If Time-Lost Proto-Drake is still flying then you might want to use a Goblin Glider Kit or one of the abilities listed below in order to survive the fall.

You can enable the option "Auto Dismount in Flight" in Interface - Controls, as that will save you time by making your character automatically dismount before casting.
