If you are or know a hunter, mechanical tracking allows you to see the minefield if you want to avoid it. Survival spec gives stealth as well to get past the turrets without aggro. But for a group, add a rogue in the mix for the group conceal and getting to the spawn point will be a little quicker.

How this works is it buffs all your pets with [spell=229872] for 15 seconds making them large and red. Not only hunter pets and battle pets, but things like your Bodyguard, the pet from [item=143534] and even Nomi summoned from [item=86425]!

As far as getting the toy to drop it has a very low chance but you can stay and farm it indefinitely. It dropped on my third kill, but it may take more.

This has a low drop rate. I spent about 3 hours farming him, fortunately there were lots of other people coming and going so killing Dr. Weavil was smooth. I died trying to solo it as a BM hunter, you really need those interrupts. Anyhow I was glad to finally get this toy. I macroed it with my Bestial Wrath so every 10 min my pets get super big and crazy. Nice way to intimidate people in PVP.

This is the ultimate toy for BM hunters who happend to have tamed a T-rex like [npc=71529] and changed Hati's appearance to it with [item=138393]. Why so? Because it wont just make your pets red and huge, Hati will will be GIGANTIC!

Just wanted to confirm as I have not seen it listed here as of yet, but you CAN still get this to drop if you already have the toy in your collection. Of course it still requires a bit of luck as it is a low drop rate but there it is.

Doctor Weavil hits like a wet noodle..

But since he have a lot of Health AND Drudge Bolt Volley gives you a stack that kills when you have 10, you should take care to interrupt him. Also, it's not uncommon that Drudge Supervisor from below (which also casts Drudge Bolts), good strong AoE is advised to kill adds ASAP.

Killed Dr. Weavil about 50 times (I lost count); I received the following loot: 1 [item=142265] 24 [item=142262] 41 [item=142264] 43 [item=142263] around 600 [item=142266] (count is a rough estimate due to killing other things in the area) [item=142262] is not soulbound, so they can be traded or sold on the AH, no real market for the AH on my server group, though. Dr. Weavil is easy to solo, even with no interrupts, he was down before I got two stacks of his [spell=229812]. Save your interrupt for his [spell=25774], it's kind of annoying, but not critical (unless you're squishy)

Chaxton+2via Wowhead (opens the original comment in a new tab)

Can confirm this; I tamed Thok, and did the Essence Swapper so I had two Thoks (though Hati was a bit bigger, oddly). I used the toy so I could get a moment of chuckling, only to see it not affect Hati. I tried it again several times, and the same thing happened with no giant Hati. I removed the swapped appearance and tried once more, but even default Hati won't grow. RIP fun.

Finally got my [item=142265]!

Took me 82 attempts before it dropped...

Not even kidding...two attempts afterwards I got another one.

After all was said and done, 84 runs yielded the following:

210x [item=142263] 1,784 [item=142266]

Made approximately [money=287G]

I have been grinding this toy for a few days [i](Currently no luck)[/i] and have been timing kills/respawn time - which seems to be around 7-8 minutes on average, with the quickest respawn being 5:39 and the longest being just over 10 minutes.

Hellstryke+16via Wowhead (opens the original comment in a new tab)

Today I decided to go try my luck to get this. Never tried before and it wasn't so bad. Timer seems to be 5-6 minutes per respawn and my Rogue easily chopped him down with no issues. I killed him 24 times and then on the 25th, I got the Big Red Raygun. I got up to go grab my mail and get a drink and when I came back to my laptop, he had respawned again so I killed him again and lo and behold, I got a second Big Red Raygun, so one for my toy box, one for the AH!

Tchali+0via Wowhead (opens the original comment in a new tab)

I had read this comment while waiting for him to respawn. I'd been camping him most of the day, popping over every 6-8 minutes to kill him while doing other work on the computer. Just on a whim, once I finally got the toy for myself, I decided to wait for one more respawn. Damned if I didn't get a second one to drop on the very next kill!

Castrobia+19via Wowhead (opens the original comment in a new tab)

Finally got this toy after 47 [Drudge Fluid] drop, translate to probably about 70 Doctor Weavil kills. Consider farming this toy with a rogue; this is way more rewarding with pickpocketing and farming [item=144345] from [item=144346] Enchantment. Kill Doctor Weavil, pickpocket and kill all three cabins of mobs. Wait for Doctor Weavil to respawn and repeat. In total I got 1 [item=142265] 47 [item=142264] 130 [item=124437] 71 [item=116415] ~170,000 [currency=1416]

biggaz13+2via Wowhead (opens the original comment in a new tab)

Got my rogue out. Got the zoo keeper shoulder enchantment in Dalaran. Got there via Uldum (Alliance). Managed to stalk my way to the middle of the island. Found them all in the houses. Pick pocketed those ones. Prepared for the BIG grind. Was looking forward to collecting Coins of Air. Found Dr Weavil upstairs @ 77 17. Was hoping the toy would drop in under 50 kills. Of course the toy dropped on the first kill. I never have that sort of luck thus I can only presume the drop rate has been significantly improved. He is 112 Elite thus easy kill for a 120 Rogue.

DaemoniKira+4via Wowhead (opens the original comment in a new tab)

Drop rate [u]definitely has not[/u] been "significantly improved": [b]I've been farming this rare [u]nonstop for over 4 hours --maybe more like 5-- today alone[/u][/b] (I was farming nonstop for at least 2 hours last night on the same toon)[b], and I [i]still[/i] have not seen this damn toy.[/b] And by "nonstop" I mean [i]the second[/i] it spawns I kill it, and I've not AFKed for longer than 10 minutes this entire time... And I've been killing the dog every spawn too, just in case it happens to drop from him... Edit: [u][b]HOLY F--- I FINALLY GOT IT AFTER 127 ATTEMPTS[/b][/u]

Leyari+5via Wowhead (opens the original comment in a new tab)

I decided to try this toy in a casual way instead of camping it, I would log on a toon parked there every day and kill it, and then log off, try again the next day. It only dropped for me after 97 tries. Thought someting was off with my toon haha. If you're like me, don't give up! It will drop eventually!
