How to do Afinar los instintos:

use Silbato de H'partho. Using this item will consume H'partho's Whistle and summon your Shadowbarb Hatchling for 10 minutes.
kill elite and/or rare mobs to complete the quest (you have 10 minutes). Fighting tougher and rarer enemies will help your hatchling grow faster.

Comentario de Flowerhorn

Killing anything while your Shadowdrone is following you increases the progress bar to the next stage. This is not a quest you want to just insta complete.
I spent the full 10 minutes killing every mob I could find in Tol'vir raised the bar about 30%.
Helpful Tip: If you are flying with the pet following you and something hits you, the pet will aggro to the mob and will despawn when you fly too far away.

Edit: The progress bar can only go to 4999/5000 while doing this daily quest. Upon completion, it will transition to the next stage, but still requires a daily reset to pick up the next stage quests.

Comentario de Demone

I was able to get 5 exp from a regular mob kill and 30 exp from an elite mob kill. I wasn't able to kill a rare but i'd assume its higher or equal to a rare.
This was done in Uldum with the N'zoth assault active

After further testing it seems exp is based on enemy type and maybe HP.
0 From Foul Observers (might be a bug)
5 From slimes/fleshbeasts
20 From K'thir Shadowcasters
40 From Faceless Despoilers
60 From rares (only tested with 2mil hp rares)

Comentario de ABIB

Extremely important that you be very careful when doing this quest with war mode on, as dying will remove the buff and auto-complete the quest. If you think you might be ganked, either turn off WM or go to some secluded chunk of the map and just grind away.

Comentario de Lumineus

Does not persist through logout, so if you get disconnected for any reason, you get screwed out of the rest of your buff timer.

Comentario de Jackalope88

Be careful where go with the buff active!

When trying to take your drone into a daily lesser vision to kill enemies inside.

If you have the buff active outside and then try to enter, the buff will end early and quest objective will be marked complete, resulting in a loss of any potential credit you would have obtained with the remaining time.

Comentario de Zandjil

Don't accidentally right-click anything you don't intend to kill, while your hatchling is out. Even if you don't actually attack, it decides you want to, and goes off on its own. Mine found a very quick death, when it decided to solo R'khuzj the Unfathomable...

Comentario de Leviatham

A very good place is in the Lost city of tol'vir with the event of the candles in the middle, there are many acolites spawning every 1 to 2 minutes, and give a lot of exp to Bitey McStabface. I don't know if mobs spawn depending on every "event spawn" by using the candles or not.

Comentario de Nicrodk

A note for all you guys with heals, this little guy counts as a guardian and can therefore not be healed, I found that out the hard way when I was fighting the big rare in the lost city who does the big aoe's all the time, just slowly watched my little dude die as he took quite some damage from those aoe's ;-;

Comentario de Tarval

I feel like farming Foul Observers is the way to go here. Quick kills, fast respawn rate, with the added benefit of hopefully spawning Gaze of N'Zoth (worth the kill whether you need the eye or not). Can easily farm over 1000xp in the 10 minute window.

Comentario de odietamote

I accidentally right clicked the buff that pops up when you blow the whistle and it automatically completed the quest. I'm thinking it's a bug, though.

Comentario de Danielfboone

Yeah I died both times I had this quest and it ended it. The first time I got about 300 points, the second time, about 60. Don't try to take on too much trying to get points. Now it will probably take me more than 30 days. I've done the first 2 pet battles and I'm only at 2607/5000.

Comentario de Fizzletwig

Just wanted to say, my shadowbarb hatchling died from aoe damage. So, make sure you desperately avoid fighting tougher and rarer enemies

Comentario de Emorim

So it might be bugged for me but two days in a row now there is no daily from H'parthos to use the whistle to get my little guy experience. I get the Battle pet quests.

Comentario de GabyT

The spots mentioned in previous comments were unavailable during the current Uldum assault, so I tried something else. I went to the location where the dailies are, as I am a Discipline Priest and my DPS output is not that great. I ended up circling between the Tomb of Precursors and the Halls of Origination in Uldum, as there were quite some other people completing their dailies that could help me take down the mobs quicker. I managed 1,500 XP in ten minutes! So I'd recommend seeing where the daily quest hub is and head there if no other great spots are available for the current invasion. Also, the Stolen Ramkahen Banners that drop are a good addition to your DPS.

Comentario de thekaizi

For doing this quest during the Amathet Invasions, I found that a good place to stop is the Escarbador árido that spawn where Rotfeaster is they give 20 xp each and are very easy to kill.

Comentario de adolphus13

I found two fairly effective ways to do this quest, depending on which zone is the Black Empire Invasion. In both cases, wait to summon your hatchling until you're at the location of your choosing and ready to start.

If Uldum is currently under attack, either go to the Lost City of Tol'vir (/way 62.02 70.70) or to the Akhenet Fields (/way 58.48 51.65) where the Foul Observers spawn and kill as much as you can. For Tol'vir, if the summoning event is up you can keep resetting that (kill everything, extinguish the candles, go kill a few other random mobs until it pops up again). If you choose to kill the Observers, you also have a chance of spawning the rare Gaze of N'zoth which can drop Ojo derecho que todo lo ve, needed to make the toy Ojos que todo lo ven.

If the Vale of Eternal Blossoms is under attack, go to the Big Blossom Mines (entrance at /way 70.07 58.42) and start killing all the mantid you see. By the time you've made your way through the mines and into the vault, then cleared both rooms down there, things should be respawning back at the start. I managed to clear the whole place and loop back to the start with a couple of minutes to spare, netting me a few more kills on the respawns before my little hatching withdrew.

Both of these methods netted me around 25-30% of the experience bar, obviously results will vary depending on how fast you're able to kill things. Lastly, I recommend doing this quest with Warmode off as if you die you will lose your shadowbarb friend.

Comentario de Wyler

TLDR - After one test, I think the whistle should only ever be used in Uldum.

You must be in one of the two N'Zoth Assault zones to use the whistle - Uldum or the Vale (as the quest text says).

I ended up summoning the little guy in the Vale, and it didn't look like kills were giving me any credit. This may have been a graphical bug, I'm not sure. I ported to Uldum and it dropped the buff and finished the quest, so I got very little credit today.

I tried using the whistle in the Broken Shore, and in Tomb of Sargeras and both gave the "wrong zone" message.

I also tried the whistle in the little mini-horrific-vision in the Vale - no go.

Comentario de Jessiehope

I have done this whole quest line with a guildie as I am a healer and he is a warrior. The pet xp does not seem to be shared, he is much further on in the quests than I am and we have done all steps together. I have done one extra day of this quest, plus an extra pet battle and it looks like I will have to do another day of this quest to catch up. Not sure if it is based on killing blows, I have holy nova'd everything he has touched and I am still well behind him. Just something to keep in mind if you're partnering for this.

Comentario de Seoyoon

I filled the training bar in under 5min.

Taking advantage of my healer class and the debuff from the mob i farmed the Amathet Devoted around the Sun Prohet Epaphos tower east from Lost City of Tol'vir and finished in under 5min.

Comentario de Mattly99

My friend and I are not 100% sure, but we constantly use passenger mounts to coordinate everything together, including this quest. My friend unfortunately has had their pet disappear multiple times well before the timer expired. Be warned that this could happen to you and your friend. If you're doing this together avoid the passenger mounts.

Comentario de khriz

Que'ing up for and entering the Crown Chemical Co. event, (while you have the 10~ min buff active and the little bastard is alive) auto completes this quest for w/e reason. I first found out about this accidentally, but after trying it a few more times, it's worked every time.

Comentario de Dolzur

Some great points to grind it I found it so far:

Caravan event - a lot of mobs spawning very fast and dying even faster.
The place around event with burning corpses - tougher mobs, but a lot of them and they're all not really far away from each other, so you can massive pull them.

Comentario de MarurabaATX

PSA: the progress bar for the quest is the overall progress bar for your pet, they are the same. ie with the "Honing Instincts" quest, one can grind total progress of their pet. said another way, the quest "Honing Instincts" does not have a new progress bar to grind (like the zone caches, or other quests in the game), it is the overall progress of the pet you are grinding. hope this helps someone, i was very confused as to how to gain progress...

Comentario de m4dp4rrot

As with most quests, you cannot progress on this one while in a raid. Don't try to kill a world boss, you will get zero quest credit for it.

Comentario de donquixote235

Contrary to what many of these posts say, I've found the best place to farm is not Lost City of the Tolvir, but rather the Ankheten Harbor area in SW Uldum. Killing Wastewander Hosts causes 4 Aqir Grubs to spawn which have very low HP - this means that you can net 100 XP for what essentially amounts to a single kill. In addition there are swarms of bugs that hang around many of the buildings which can also be burned down with ease. And everything is close enough together and the respawn rate is high enough that you shouldn't have a problem finding them even if you have competition from players trying to complete the Wastewander Hosts daily.

Comentario de 9mmx19

Disable the Threat Plates addon for this or you cant see the XP. Theres probably some setting hidden away but I didnt find it

Comentario de Anxious

Don't make the same mistake that I did, thinking that just completing the quest is all you need to do. You HAVE to fight mobs and gain XP for your hatchling through this daily.

Comentario de Wyr3d

Since there's some confusion over this, let me state the simplest method of completing this quest:

Find yourself a rare (preferably in Uldum), summon your little dude, and kill it. Congrats, quest complete. Sometimes you may need to kill one or two random mobs as well, in case he didn't get enough XP from the rare, depending on which rare you fought.

Please note, if Black Empire isn't attacking Uldum, you can still fight the rares from the bug invasion. These still count for XP, but your bar but your bugs XP bar progress may not show. Rarely the XP bar might not show in Uldum at all, but this only ever happened to me once.

You can earn a MAX of 4999/5000 XP, but when you hand in the quest, you always get 1 additional XP so handing it in will complete it if you've maxed the bar. Once your bug has a full XP bar, you need to wait til the next day for the next part.

Also appears to be bugged and only awards 1 XP when in Vale?

I've looked a little into this, and it appears to be due to the XP bar often not showing up on Vale pretty much ever. Your pet should get XP from fights, but it doesn't appear to get the XP when its missing in Vale, especially since the SL pre-patch. This may just be a graphical issue though, you should prolly check your pet's XP before accepting the quest to make sure.

Comentario de mimose

Easiest way is to find a rare elite 52R+ .. get it down to 5-10% and then call your Hatchling .. you will get close to the 4999 points (stops at 4999) ... kill some additional mobs and you are easily maxed .. ..

Comentario de psxchelly

if your doing this quest with a toon thats lvl 55+, just be prepared that you wont get that much XP and its almost not worth the effort.
Since nothing in Uldum will give you XP, your hatchling will also get very very minimal XP. I think the most XP the hatchling received was 20xp per kill.

Comentario de aheleine

Shifted into flight form while the pet was out and it despawned. I had only gotten ~100 or so experience and the quest was marked completed. I don't recommend flying. What a waste.

Comentario de Zidane3838

Is this currently bugged? Been on this quest three days in a row now killing rares and elites mostly...

Comentario de ShadowBrooks

Kill stuff till pets exp bar is 4999/5000 and then remove the buff and you will be able to turn in the quest which grants the remaining missing 1 exp. Come back after reset for followup quests to complete your search for the Zángano puasombría.

Comentario de estarianne

Ugh, this quest is such a pain. It just keeps randomly despawning.

edit: Figured this out finally. Be careful to stay in range, it will randomly aggro stuff. Summon when you're somewhere you can kill a lot of stuff in 10 minutes. But finally got my drone!
