Some thoughts from the experience: 1. The sea snake that swims around his spawn place seems to have no effect on his spawn time, unlike what a couple others posted; I killed it multiple times to no effect. Burgy spawned after I had been semi-afk for a couple hours waiting without killing any mobs. Someone else posted that you have to be at least level 78 to use this hat. This is not true; the hat has no level requirement.
I saw a level 1 bank alt using this hat, which is where I got the idea to camp this guy to begin with. Maybe the guy used a lock summon or the new party summon to get the level 1 to where Burgy spawns? Confirming what others have already stated, he seems to have a long respawn timer because I would be logged in for hours at a time without seeing him.
He is "red" i. I happened to glance at the screen and saw he was shooting me, lol. He spawned on the sand next to the open side of the boat, in a similar spot to other screen shots I have seen. You have to unequip then reequip the hat to look like a pirate again. Hope this helps. Good luck! Comment by sirus7hevirus Camped it from pm until am. Went to sleep and got up at pm.
He spawned exactly at pm. Almost 12 hours since I was gone. Totally worth it! I suggest having your internet browser minimized so you can watch movies and stuff while you WoW Is running in the back round. It's worth waiting for and if you want it, try and get it. It's kinda usefull to kill a few NPC's to help the spawn of him, I killed a Sea Snake and a few of the little fishies floating around. Comment by Just killed Burgy exactly where the map says he will spawn. He was standing on the left hand side of the ship near the entrance to get inside.
I killed him at 5. Hardly anyone was there i saw 1 or 2 people try to camp for a bit but got bored and left! He doesnt share a spawn timer with the sea snake from what i saw because the snake was still alive when burgy spawned! Comment by Let it be known.. Equip Burgy Blackheart's Handsome Hat 2. Mount the Kor'kron Annihilator 3. Remove Burgy Blackheart's Handsome Hat 4.
Your character is approximately 10X its size riding a Scorpian 5. I so wish I did a screenshot.. If you subsequently put your normal helm back on after, you are a giant model of your own char huge goblin in my case. This lasts until dismount. I've also turned into the standard ghost gnome model riding a sandstone drake in place of the flying gnome effect mentioned previously, and once in Vash'jir so far turned into a Sandstone drake riding a Sandstone drake.
These bugs are current as of 2 May , so feel free to downgrade this comment when appropriate. We compared them and they are exactly the same. Gnome model and Tauren mounts: Blizzard got something so so right. Comment by Xavicus Saw a guy with this hat and it looked awesome, so I told him: Hey I want that hat as well, I'll go pick it up Aka got it instantly when I went for it ;.
Comment by Kokiron If you put this on and then use Orb of the Sin'dorei, you'll become a non-ghostly belf in a pirate hat, and when the buff from the orb wears off you'll be your original race in a pirate hat until you remove and re-equip the hat. Submitted a screenshot of pirate belf Burgy Sunheart, hopefully it'll show up soon :P. Comment by jrl5k combo this beauty with Vrykul Drinking Horn.
Comment by Torgeytits I'm not exactly sure if the "Same model as" thing is bugged or giving wrong advice, but the actual model for the hat is just the wizard hat model, and the hat model of the costume is the same as First Mate Hat. Edit: Apparently Blizzard has changed the model of the hat, it used to have a wizard hat model, and now it has the same model as the admiral's hat.
It's silly how they didn't just change the model into First Mate Hat which is exactly like the entity on the character's head in Burgy costume. I guess Blizzard wants to keep First Mate Hat as unique then. Comment by khaltak Where are the other four curses and the spite? Comment by destroloc If you use the hat and then the Brazier of dancing flames, the dancing fire lady has the pirate hat on her. Comment by Dracovarius I'm sure it has been mentioned before, but just in case I'll mention it again.
Have fun with that. Edit: Also, when you get mounted by another person in this form, that person will stick to the gnome's back and wobble about in a spastic way. Comment by Does the Vial of Sands bug still exist? Supposedly turns you into a flying gnome. I just got the hat on the wrong toon. Didn't want to risk travel time. You just mount up, equip the hat, and you are a ghostly gnome that sprints around, with the same animation as if running on the ground in Vashj'ir.
Another fun trick is log off just like stated above. Log back in, and equip your normal helm. For me it was me as a Vial of sands mounted on a vial of sands. Then just go hide in one of the rooms of the ship.
Here are screen shots: Flying gnome Vial on Vial. Comment by If you equip this hat, switch to druid flight form, then log out. You'll be turned into the little pirate dude when you log back in. Fell to my death twice today, forgetting about this. First time, camped about an hour give or take some minutes. Went afk to make dinner, came back and was logged out.
Logged back, saw the snake, killed him, looked around in and there he was pathing out around the sunken ship. My npcscan must of went off when I was afk because it didn't go off when I relogged. Either I got super lucky or he is a not as rare "rare" spawn. Also if you use Ancient Amber from archeology in the gnome form, you will switch back to your toon but have an Admiral's Hat on your head even after you cancel the amber effect.
Comment by Steil The ghost effect from wearing the hat does not apply the ability to breathe underwater like other "ghost" costumes. Comment by Submitted a screenshot of a flying gnome with vial of the sands, hopefully it will be approved withing the next 72 hours : enjoy EDIT: Found out if you do as said earlier with being a flying gnome, while being a flying gnome, log out, log back in again and your now sitting on top of your own Vial of the sands :.
Comment by Since the spawning location of Burgy is very close to a Horde encampment, I would suspect Horde might have stumbled a lot more over Burgy then Alliance. I'm camping here for 4 hours now, and had 5 Hordes swim around.
They did not seem to look for Burgy, but the did kill some NPCs in the area, possibly for some Horde quest.
Well, at least my lvl 84 got some honor points out of it, since they all seemed very surprised to see an Alliance Pally emerge from the wreckage Comment by Righto , I found this at on the steam cartel server as horde. PS awesome if you drink Elixir of giant growth and then equip the hat YOU will be Gaint tall , allot of fun with this hat and a def must get!
Comment by Kalphite Seriously pissed here guys, I love my rare's gotta admit, so i thought ill give this one ago after seeing a few friend's with this hat he drops i wanted it bad so every time I was queuing for dung id check on him and i found him today at pm and i was on Xbox at the time and when I came back no sign of him what so ever just the Warning of NPCscan so im guessing he dissapeared, anyone have further info on if he does dissapear for sure and how long he would last untill he's gone for good.
Comment by Maeseyck Hi, Just discovered this Mount your sandstone dragon. Equip your hat 3. Comment by Unfortunately, it looks like all of the fun mount bugs have been fixed on the 4.
No more giant gnome on a scorpion, no more flying gnome, and no more double sandstone drake. Comment by I waited for atleast 8 hours to kill him and upon the last 3 seconds, a warrior swims in wearing the hat, Burgy spawns right where the warrior is.. And well you can guess what happened next..
Time to go play rift. Comment by squee As of patch 4. Comment by fritzal It is so cool how when you are dancing with the Dancing Flames you turn into a flame with the hat on! Comment by hemoptysis Decided to check if he was up.
Arrived at spawn at pm. He wasn't up. Alt tabbed for a minute and bam, the NPC scan sound goes off. So I kill him around pm. I set my alarm to 6am. I work midnights so I'd be up anyways.
I arrive around am. I leave the computer to go get something to drink and return around am to find my character under attack by Burgy. So based on some posts he may have a random spawn, but in my case I can confirm it is rougly 12 hours.
Comment by LethonRoosevelt I have one on my level 1 bank alt. Quite a few people think I'm a hacker. Comment by savagekrosa As of patch 4. Comment by Leishai I made a list of gimmick items which you can use to transform your character into a different form or race or even gender to play around with. I didn't add items like weapons that provide a procc with a transform effect that only lasts a few seconds even though I know about them.
My intention was to list all items with controlable transformations. Feel free to let me know if I missed an item! I want to thank all the people below my lists who pointed out items I missed! This list grows thanks to your effort as well! Thanks guys, you're great!
Only to complete the list. Comment by How often does Burgy show up? Comment by Alfa out of I would hate to have been the one who didn't get theirs.
Comment by Hoboonaparkbench Using Burgy Blackheart's Handsome Hat along with an Ethereal Oil will make you and your mount more invincible than when you ride Invincible! Comment by SpiralMountain I'd just like to point out that if you wear this and also use your Vrykul Drinking Horn you become insanely large while riding mounts.
Submitted a screenshot for it. Comment by XxiolaA I got it while camping for Poseidus - everything would be great but Well at least it's female. Comment by Kwylde Anyone else notice that several of the screenshots are just people wearing Admiral's Hat?
Comment by Soladia Why is the mob and his hat listed as "not available to players? Sorry, not sure how to submit for correction. Comment by shroxari Technically this item doesn't have a level limit. My friend wants to try summoning my low level hunter twink and letting me loot the hat, but we aren't sure this will work, having to have a quest to be sent to Vashj'ir and all If you shape shift into any other form you no longer look like Burgy until you take off and put back on the hat, or log off and re log back on.
When you do log on you will by burgy and not in your shape shifted form. This caused me problems. I was wearing the hat and shape shifted and lost the Burgy look. I was asked to heal and forgot I was wearing it because I looked normal.
After the healing I did as I always do: I logged out while in flight form because it is usually safe in the air when you log back in. But when I came back the next day to log in I was Burgy and I dropped to my death because I panicked and could not find my flight form button to click in time.
Comment by rushun Got this on my level 1 bank alt. Took roughly day and a half. Had a friend summon me with Have group, Will Travel guild perk, then I just hid myself inside the boat and left my toon there. One thing to look out for is that while the boat is a safe zone it still has the sea snake patrolling around it and if you go anywhere outside of the boat on your level 1 you will agro the other mobs. So it helps if the friend summoning you can res, just in case you die.
I did the kill by multi boxing my friend's account just to make it easier than waiting for somebody to come and help me kill it, but if you do not have access to another account I would suggest having your bank alt in a lvl 25 guild temporary so that you can summon somebody to your location.
Using Npcscanner is good as well cause it tells you as soon as you log on whether the mob is there or not. If you have 2 accounts available I'd say the most painless way of camping this, is by muting all sounds on the account that you are using to camp Burgy preferably something with stealth so you won't get ganked leaving only the sound that the Npcscanner makes when it finds a rare and enabling WoW sounds in the background.
This way you should be able to play your main account while also effectively camping Burgy without having to actually stare at the screen. I am not entirely sure whether this works but I cannot think of why it wouldn't.
Have any Suggestions what went wrong? Comment by JSusie Equipping burgy's hat will remove the "trick" debuff you get from the random candy baskets while doing the hallow's end stuff. Saves 45 seconds of just standing around. Comment by teekaleek Combine this with Elixir of Giant Growth , 2 stacks of the Grow buff from Bom'bay in Sen'jin, Bloodlust as well as Ethereal Oil and mount up for hilarious reactions.
Comment by DangerDude This hat is increasing the mount size pretty much, use this and Elixir of Giant Growth to get a huuuuuuuuge mount! Comment by ssdisfaster Found an interesting durability side-effect.
Currently, it resets to 0 for some items when you copy your character to PTR realm. So, if you equip this hat with 0 durability it will not apply buff on you,but you will see the actual hat on your character. Comment by citrique The hat now has 20 durability as of 4. Comment by Malifecent I just got it on my Draenai Shammy.
I put it on, went into wolf form, then back to normal form, and then I looked like myself again while wearing the hat :. Comment by rixaana It does indeed work with Kiril, Fury of Beasts. Comment by Catweazle Sadly this item cannot be transmogrified. Comment by crazedgamer is this trasmogrifiable? Comment by PerfeCisolation I'm not quite sure how the glitch worked but you used to be able to use Vial of the sands with this and instead be a flying gnome people could actually mount BUT here's the catch When I first saw it i laughed for like 20 mins.
Comment by Got this hat today, its an awesome hat. If you dont have it, go camp it! Comment by I have this hat on all ten of my toons, and I've used it for a year, but today it isn't working, not just for making mounts larger, but for turning me into a gnome. It's dead, Jim. Comment by baygul For Warlocks, if you use Metamorphosis while wearing this, when your demon form expires, you will be wearing your normal armor with an Admiral's Hat.
When you enter an instance, the hat comes off and you see Burgy's bald head. Comment by Ebyssius Logged out while wearing this item and it changed my armory profile to show me as a male blood elf when my character is actually female. Other than that, my profile was unchanged. The costume did not appear. Comment by Bumpypwned I made a list of gimmick items which you can use to transform your character into a different form or race or even gender to play around with.
I didn't add items like weapons that provide a procc with a transform effect even though I know about them. It's only to complete the list. Comment by Got this hat a couple of weeks ago.
I'm a rogue and when equipped I go stealth. All anyone can see is the hat floating around. I've had great fun haunting the cities. Don't think the spawn timer is really known. I've seen 6 hours to 12 hours to 24 hours. I am at almost 13 hours now. Will update when he spawns.
EDIT: He spawned at - so roughly 14 hours camping. There was an ally there camping on around my 12th hour off and on. That was heart breaking thinking he might get it first! Good luck. He spawned right at the edge of the boat, where the sand meets the deck.
At 85, he was super easy. Not only are you a ghostly gnome on an over sized mount, your mount is a giant fire hawk. What makes it best? This is a sure way to get noticed, and complimented by the envious. I haven't gotten a screenshot yet as I obtained the hat just an hour or so before server maintenance tonight and I was too busy enjoying it, but I will post one as soon as i can.
I've already gotten a few comments on it, well over 20 if you include the jealous ' insert expletive here ' comments directed at me. Comment by wasere I just obtained this on Burning Legion. On Ysera-US. Comment by Mortimer Killed him Comment by I've found him once around 61,68 - in the middle of a big pile of nespirah survivors. Comment by Killed about pm. Snake spawned right after Burgy died. Comment by sarius First time checking if he was there and he was, kinda nice considering I'd spent 3 weeks after Aeonaxx Not that the hat is much special but, you know, being a collector of such items you have to :P.
Comment by zaphon I've gotten the hat 3 times in the last 2 days. My Orc Warlock is now a pimp gnome. Comment by Torgeytits Yeah, I think he has a or-more hour spawntimer, because someone else mentioned 12 hours, and I waited, waited, waited, waited and waited 12 hours for him, then finally got him at about 8am.
At around 6 hours of my hunt, someone just happened to pass by. I was so tired and frustrated to him that I was going to rage and yell at him just for being there, but gladly I managed to keep my mouth shut. But nevertheless, I succeeded, and now I can be a HUGE pirate gnome riding an even huger motorbike when I drink a growth potion, since Burgy's model is a bit bigger than your average gnome. Comment by Does the Vial of Sands bug still exist? Supposedly turns you into a flying gnome. I just got the hat on the wrong toon.
Didn't want to risk travel time. Comment by fyrn exactly 12 hours respawn time confirmed. First kill at , second kill at Fluctuates by a few minutes max. I actually logged in before and waited for him to spawn, which he did. Comment by Kerastrasza Saw him killed a bit after pm on the 16th of may.
Killed him myself at shortly before am 17th of may. Waiting to see if I can get him for an alt, an hour to go to see if it's 12 hour respawn give or take a couple mins. Edit: Killed him again at am on the 17th of may. Dath'remar server if anyone is keen for it. Comment by druishprncss So I found him on my hunter this morning. And NPC Scan will not pick him up if he is cached. So you have to clear it and pray someone else don't find it before you.
I am happy to say I am a gnome hunter now :. Comment by Blankadin I assume the above poster is not a native English speaker. If this is true, I applaud your attempt, good sir.
Basically what he means is the ship is a safe place, so don't worry if you have Resurrection Sickness. Edit: The comment I was referring to no longer exists, but I will leave it here for posterity's sake.
Comment by I started camping for this guy right as the bf logged out. I have no clue when he last spawned at.. So far, I have stuff to keep me 'awake' but it's failing there.
Now, after this lil dude.. For some reason, NPCScanOverlay is showing his spawn point behind the boat and not the area around it. Nearly made me have a heart attack when it went off! But he appeared between hours for me. But then again, I didn't know when he last spawned for me when I started camping for him.
Comment by for some reason.. It's not letting me edit my last comment.. I killed this guy twice now. Just now on an alt and then last night on my main. As you can tell, these 2 comments are less then 12 hours apart.. So, that means he might be somewhat of a "common" rare for cata. But I do know his spawn respawn time is a little under 12 hours.
Comment by VoXeR So it can be anywhere from 12 hours to 24 hours or even more I hate these random spawns :. Comment by Anyone notice that he has an ability called Parley? Does it refer to the movie Pirates of caribbean maybe Blackbeard? However, he patrols around the base of the ship, as previous comments state.
Respawn Time: Between hours. Take that with a pinch of salt - That's my estimate after talking to player with the hat and knew the time of the kill. Tips and Tricks: As with any rare mob, you will have to do some camping. I just sat there on my character, and just waited. This was a fairly good way to camp him.
I also did a few arenas while there, and this was a great way to grind the time. However, Burgy's hat is in high demand on my server; and there were several, less driven people, who wanted to camp him also.
This made the arena camping more risky. I came online at am to check my mailbox, and there he was. I literally saw him zone in. NPCscan woke up the dead and I got my hat. Here are some facts.
He spawned on the sand that is seeping onto the deck of the ship. He doesn't have a huge blue ghost auora, he is relativly hard to see against the sand. Good luck farming this gnome, and may he spawn before you die of boredom. Comment by Silrod I'm patting around for poseidus, npc scan goes off, I find captain florence am server.
I kill him, swim back down, and my npc goes off, burgy blackheart, am server By the way, I had checked for burgy around 20 minutes earlier and he was not there.
I think not. Again, i had checked a few minutes previous of killing burgy or captain florence and he was not there. Killed Shok'sharak at am server. I will go check other rare spawns and post here ASAP. I do apologize for not being able to provide co ordinates. Local Time.
Enjoy The Information.. Good Luck Tho! Comment by I found this little fella on Deathwing EU at today, it is BUT I can tell you that this guy does not have a long respawn, cus my m8 found him yesterday in the middle of the day aswell. So these 2 doesn't have anything in common either. Yarr maties! Comment by Khord Korialstrasz US, logged in at a. Swam down and dropped him to loot my lovely new hat. I can confirm that it does not affect the Sandstone Drake.
Scares the hell out of me each time too. Comment by I ran into this guy with npc scan at around Spawn rate is 12 hours. One of my friends farms them for all his characters. Awesome reward if you run into this ghostly fellow. Can go in combat and fight while transformed and everything. Even makes your mount ghostly. Good luck peoples. BTW: Cairne server just killed him at 12am server time.
Comment by Being slightly skittish after drinking too much coffee. Takes the usual "Poseidus" path just like i ususally do, Npcscan goes off, i quickly jump to conclusions. Meh, but i end up killing him anyway. Npcscan goes of again! I Do believe that there is a spawn timer between Hours Because the last time he as killed on my relam was pm Relam time on Tuesday.
His body will disappear in about 2 minutes after you kill him. When u Right Click the hat you automatically change and there is no cooldown : Here Is a screenshot on where I killed him.. Click Here for Pic! Click here for pic 2! Good Luck! Happy Hunting! Comment by hannibalektr Just watched him spawn am, Monday, August, 22nd on Blackrock right before my eyes.
He spawned just where the sand meets the boat outside the door. I camped him yesterday Sunday from 3am - 12 noon, then from 2pm - 6pm. Started again at 3am today Monday 3am, he spawned am exactly. Good luck and happy camping. Logged in this morning am, wed, 24th, to check for my daughter and there he was again.
Invited her to group, summoned her with guild summon and now we both go tooling around as burgy. Definitely a Kodak moment. Comment by Just got Burgy and Cpt. Foulwind this morning on Draenor. Sweet hat and 37s2c. Comment by im sooo happy i went to go check on him 12 hours after server reset and there he was I was in bg for about min, so it's possible that he spawned earlier. Comment by Athenielle Don't know if this is a coincidence but I just killed the Sea Snake patrolling the ship where he spawns and emediately after it's death he spawns!
Comment by Today i got the hat, after i killed the sea snake 6 times he spawns near the door of the ship wreck. EU-Thrall :. Comment by Ive killed Burgy 4 times now across 3 servers. The other 2 on the other 2 servers, I killed both at around am. Comment by Soladia Why is the mob and his hat listed as "not available to players? Sorry, not sure how to submit for correction.
Comment by Angxia Killed him at pm after camping him for 7 hours. I assume he was killed a few hours before i came there. Happy hunting! Comment by Haramashu Just so people are clear this guy can be found under the water walking around the sunken ship once you engage him he is so funny saying 'Seriously, Feast away, I am quiet beautiful' Had me in stitches for ages. I started at pm server time and had wow open in 1 old monitor i had, and i was watching movies on the other one.
At pm server time, the last movie ended and yet i didnt saw burgy.. So, TL:DR If you have waited in the same spot for a long time, try to going away and coming back quick, that may help im some way! Comment by I hate it when I get ideas along the lines of "Hey I should do that! Turtle: I'm looking at you. No clue when he last spawned either. Oh well He'll spawn some day. Logged out at the spawn-site. Logged on early today around am, and SilverDragon didn't react.
Figured he hadn't spawned. I was just gonna pick some herbs on the backside of the ship before I intended to go do something else.
Lo and behold, there he was, patrolling on the other side of the ship. No annoucement from SilverDragon until I targeted him.
Comment by Awsomemean Took me for ever to get for some reason even longer than time lost proto! Comment by Killed this guy yesterday on Andorhal. He dropped the hat and also an enchanting formula!
Formula: Enchant Bracer - Mighty Intellect This formula is not listed as part of his loot table sooo.. Comment by Killyouscum As Long as ye are lvl 1 i believe you can get this hat. Just Bagged him witha freind on my 20 druid With the help of wowhead of course. Definately worth getting to Vashj'ir to get theis epic hat. Also note that on a druid you have to re equip it after shapeshifing to get the effect.
Comment by Rycarhunter What are his spawn timers? Comment by Kolbruns It's been reported by some that the respawn can be 5 to 23 hrs.
I've found it to be closer to Didn't have any trouble on three of my characters, but went to help a friend, and oh boy, took two days to get it. Good luck to all who camp it. It's a fun thing to use when riding my TLPD. Too funny. Comment by Torenhire I was camping this little guy all last night, probably almost 10 hours straight Netflix is a life saver. Frustrated at about am EST, I called it quits. Logged back in about 8am EST, still no pirate gnome after about an hour of sitting there Went to go confirm that Foulwind was there as well which he was and then decided to jump back into the water and check on Posideus.
Killed Captain Florence at am server time, Burgy died at am server time. Wonder if they are related at all? I didn't check on Captain Florence at all last night while camping Comment by zus After trying to camp Burgy a few times i gave up. But today at pm on wednesday server restart i finally got him. Seven hours and 45 minutes after server restart. Before i was in a dungeon for minutes i was there and he wasn't there yet. When i came back from my dungeon NPC scan went off and he was just standing there!
He was inside the ship. After server restarts some rare npcs will 'restart' too. So since Burgy had a hour spawn time i think , it was the perfect time to camp.
He WILL be there. I hope i helped you guys a little bit : Happy hunting! Comment by so hes on that boat right? Comment by sixxfoxx I just found him today Comment by Heh, I just killed him twice within 24 hours, easy peassy. I was just showing my sister where he spawns, as she saw me one day with the hat on an alt that I already had it on Comment by Atreidas Forget that hat.
I want that sword with fiery weapon or mongoose O. Comment by Azuraa Just some more feedback regarding spawn timers. Realm: Barthilas Spawn time 1 - pm - I unfortunately missed the kill for this one. Spawn time 2 - am exactly 9 hours later he spawned again and I got the hat. Both times he was standing just outside the little entrance to the ship. Extremely easy fight for an Good luck! Comment by Slideroh I read a lot about spawn supposedly 18 hours.
I did not believe even that may be there. But I decided to do some quests in Vashj'r for Loremaster Cata. And then I decided to visit the spawn. Who I found? Living pirate :D. Comment by Just killed Burgy Blackheart then rembered apost I read about Captian Floorence and sure enough they do seem to spwan at the same times.
