Ride a Pet Solaris Egg Location Guide

This guide explains exactly where to find the Solaris Egg for the Ride a Pet mount in the game, what you need to do to hatch it, and how to use the resulting mount. You will learn the egg’s spawn locations, the hatching requirements, and the mount’s stats and abilities.

Formula

The calculator above computes average speed and pace from time and distance. The formulas are:

• Speed (km/h) = Distance (km) ÷ (Time (min) ÷ 60)
• Pace (min/km) = Time (min) ÷ Distance (km)

Variables: t = time in minutes, d = distance in kilometers. Speed tells you how many kilometers you cover in one hour; pace tells you how many minutes it takes to cover one kilometer.

Worked Example

Using the default values (60 minutes, 10 km):

1. Convert time to hours: 60 ÷ 60 = 1 hour
2. Speed = 10 km ÷ 1 h = 10 km/h
3. Pace = 60 min ÷ 10 km = 6 min/km

The calculator shows 10.00 km/h and 6.00 min/km, matching the example.

Where to Find the Solaris Egg

The Solaris Egg is a rare spawn that appears in the Solaris Highlands region, specifically in the Sunstone Crater area. It is not a guaranteed drop from any mob; instead, it spawns as a world object on a 6-8 hour timer. The egg looks like a glowing orange sphere with solar flare patterns, making it visible from a distance. You must be at least level 30 to interact with it.

Common spawn points include:

• On the eastern ridge of the crater, near the lava falls
• Inside the small cave at the crater’s southern base
• On the floating rock platform above the central geyser

Because the spawn is shared across the server, multiple players may be camping the same spot. Check the area during off-peak hours or use a server hop if available.

How to Hatch the Egg

Once you obtain the Solaris Egg, it goes into your mount inventory. To hatch it, you must complete a 24-hour real-time incubation quest. The quest requires you to keep the egg warm by standing near any lava source for a total of 2 hours (can be done in intervals). After that, the egg hatches into the Solaris Stag, a ground mount with a base speed of 110%.

The hatching quest is available from the Sunseeker NPC in the Highlands camp. You need to have the egg in your inventory when you accept the quest. If you abandon the quest, you lose the egg, so be careful.

How to Use the Solaris Stag Mount

After hatching, the Solaris Stag appears in your mount collection. To use it, open your mount tab, select the Solaris Stag, and click “Summon.” The mount has a unique ability called Solar Dash, which increases your movement speed by 40% for 5 seconds with a 30-second cooldown. It also leaves a trail of light that can be seen by other players.

You can feed the mount Sunfruit to increase its speed by 5% permanently, up to a maximum of 130%. Sunfruit is found in the same region, usually near the lava falls.

Common Problems and Misconceptions

A frequent mistake is assuming the egg drops from the elite mob Solaris the Sun Eater. It does not. The egg is a world spawn, not a boss drop. Another issue is that the egg despawns after 15 minutes if not picked up, so if you see it, grab it immediately. Some players think the egg is account-bound, but it is actually character-bound, so you cannot mail it to an alt.

If the egg does not appear at a known spawn point, it may be on cooldown or someone else recently picked it up. Use the in-game map marker (if available) to track the next spawn time.

Comparing Solaris Stag to Other Mounts

Compared to other rare mounts in the game, the Solaris Stag has a mid-tier speed (110% base) but its Solar Dash ability makes it excellent for travel across flat terrain. The Frost Wolf has a higher base speed (120%) but no dash ability. The Storm Eagle can fly, but is slower on the ground (100%). For players who prefer ground mounts, the Solaris Stag offers a good balance of speed and utility.

Costs and Requirements

There is no gold cost to obtain the egg, but you must be level 30 and have completed the main story quest in the Solaris Highlands. The incubation quest is free, but you will need to spend time near lava sources. Sunfruit can be bought from the vendor for 5 gold each, or gathered from the wild. The mount itself does not require any riding skill; it is available to all characters level 30 and above.

Safety and Etiquette Tips

While camping the spawn, be aware of PvP zones (if enabled). The crater is not a PvP area by default, but it can become one during world events. Do not attack other players waiting for the egg; this is considered poor etiquette and may lead to being reported. Also, avoid standing directly on the spawn point, as it may prevent the egg from rendering for others.

Alternatives to the Solaris Stag

If you cannot find the Solaris Egg, there are other mounts you can obtain in the same region. The Ember Hare is a common drop from the lava crabs and has a 100% speed. The Sunwing Moth is a rare spawn that appears at dusk and can be caught with a net (requires a net item). These are easier to obtain but lack the Solar Dash ability. For a flying mount, consider the Cloud Ray, which requires a reputation grind with the Sunseeker faction.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the Solaris Egg take to respawn?

The respawn timer is typically 6-8 hours, but it can vary by server. Some players report up to 10 hours during high-traffic periods. Use the in-game timer or addon to track the last pick-up time.

Can I get the Solaris Egg on multiple characters?

Yes, but the egg is character-bound, so you must obtain and hatch it separately for each character. There is no account-wide unlock.

Does the Solaris Stag have any special abilities besides Solar Dash?

No, Solar Dash is the only active ability. The mount also has a passive that gives a 10% chance to restore a small amount of health when taking damage, but this is not unique to this mount.

What happens if I die while carrying the egg?

If you die, the egg remains in your inventory and does not drop. However, if you are in a PvP zone, another player can loot it from your corpse if they have the required level and the egg is not bound to you yet (it binds when you accept the quest).

Can I sell the Solaris Egg on the auction house?

No, the egg is soulbound as soon as you pick it up. It cannot be traded, sold, or mailed.

Is the Solaris Stag faster than the epic ground mounts?

Base speed is 110%, which is slower than epic mounts (120%). However, with Sunfruit upgrades, it can reach 130%, making it faster than most epic mounts. The Solar Dash ability also gives a temporary speed boost that can outpace any ground mount.
