Mysterious Camel Figurine - Reins of the Grey Riding Camel

NPCScan Alert

Size Comparison

Mysterious camel figurine is a level 1 item with only 42 health that can be found pretty much all over Uldum. Using the addon tomtom I have indicated most (maybe all?) off the spawn locations below on the map with little green dots. They do not move, they are completely stationary and they are very small. They are also affected by Deathwing. If he comes through Uldum any figurine that is up will be annihilated.

95% of these figurines when clicked will become Crumbled Statue Remnants, which is a grey item that vendors for 25 gold. However 5% of the time upon clicking you will be enveloped in a cyclone for a few seconds and then teleported to the steam pools in Feralas. You will also be given a debuff called Dormus' Rage which will allow you 20 minutes to find and kill him.

There you will find a bunch of non-aggressive camels and Dormus the Camel-Hoarder. He is a level 85 elite with 271.2k health. (You cannot just fly there and kill him, you need to use the statue to be teleported to kill him.) Once he is defeated he will drop Reins of the Grey Riding Camel and you will obtain the achievement Scourer of the Eternal Sands and be awarded the title <Name> the Camel-Hoarder.

There are two separate camel figurines with two different npcscan id's. The one with the id 50410 will be a dud and give you the grey item. 50409 however, will be the one that will teleport you to Feralas. Make sure that you have both ids uncached in npcscan before you start your search.

I use the addon tomtom which allows me to add coordinates into a macro and puts way-points on my map to pinpoint the locations of the spawn points. I have it split up in 5 separate macros at the moment and they are:

Npcscan and Silverdragon will also be able to find them for you, but when they are found you will not be able to use either addon to target them. They are currently untargetable and you WILL need to look for them. (ctrl-v is very helpful here as it will show the nameplate when you are close.)

There will never be more than 1 spawned in at a time and from the information I have gathered so far the Mysterious Camel figurines tend to respawn most often in approximately 12 hours, although there are reports of them being seen again as short as 6 hours.

Below I have a video of me finding a "dud" figurine. Notice just how incredibly close you need to be to interact with it.



Update: I finally found Dormus. I had been searching for the figurines on a few different toons and ended up finding the "real" one on one of my level 80 paladins. For this toon it was the fourth figurine, across all of my toons I have found around 20.

Dormus the Camel-Hoarder

The fight was a little difficult as a level 80 but totally doable. I had about half-cataclysm auction house gear (ilvl 257) on for the fight, and roughly 43k hp. Also, once I realized that standing in 3 stacks of camel spit was bad it was pretty much cake from there. The fight itself took between 5-6 minutes.

The first video below shows me finding the real figurine and the first part of the Dormus fight.



This video is the continuation where I smack him with my pally hammer thingy and ride away into the sunset on my sweet new ride.

Sweet New Ride

Update #2: I encountered Dormus again this morning on one of my mains. VERY happy about that. I found 6 fake figurines before I came across the "real" one on this toon. I found it early in the morning when not many people were on. The fight was a bazillion times faster than on my level 80. Here's the video of me finding the figurine, the fight, kill and achievement below.
