Anyone have any idea on where to look for the warders? My wee beastie flew all over Commonlands/Antonica and didn’t see anything. I’m gonna try Enchanted Lands later.
Don’t even know if there is one. A few of us in guk.bl chat have been trying for 3.5 hours.
Given the new ‘family’ of meatbeasts you can buy with SC, I wonder if those are gonna be the ones.
I saw someone that had an enchanted bovine warder but he refused to tell me where he found it.
Over on the forums, one has been found in BB and another atop the Tower of Frozen Shadows.

Sorry .. I meant that to say ‘another atop’. There may be more than just two.
I can confirm the top of TOFS. I accidentally one-shotted it despite being an even con.
Warder Spawns several set locations, most frequent seems to be crossroads pig pen, 1 1/2 hr respawn on Guk Server.
Theres a lvl 90 heroic ^^^ one inside nek castle walls. You have to either fly or leap over the walls in nek forest to get to it, though.
Its been there for a long while, though.
Just in case it’s not clear, anyone who wants a Meatbeast warder can get one in Nek Castle (you have to fly into the area from Nek Forest, NOT enter the actual castle instance) or you can in Shimmering Citadel if you are on a quest.
The rare one is pink.
The one in Nek Castle is an enchanted warder and can only be tamed with the tame exotic warder ability i.e. by players level 80 and higher.
The rare one is a bovid warder.
The one in Nek Castle is also level 90, so players below level 80 couldn’t get it even if it didn’t require exotic taming.
Minor details. Cough.
