HELL. YES.

I thought I'd never get this mount. There are so many troll groups announcing that "Poundfist is up!" that when I saw yet another one, I was highly doubtful, but I decided to try. Amazingly, unbelievably, this was the real deal. I got my gronnling!

Image

I'm gonna call him Billy.

I also got the runesaber, which I love to pieces. I couldn't help but notice there was one in the trailer without armour...Ok, probably not an existing model, but still...
*Must tame more cats* :lol:

Last night I decided to finally finish off my [For the Horde!] achievement that I started four years ago. Luckily, I already had Stormwind under my belt from long ago, as I learned you can't do Varian Wrynn (or Vol'jin, on the Alliance side) through the group finder due to CRZ. One old draenei and three dwarves later, and I've got my bear.

I can't believe it...

Before my sub ends in August, I'm using up my time to try and get a few more mounts if I can. I've been camping the three spots in Frostfire ridge for the voidtalon, realm hopping occasionally.

Today I logged in - the portal wasn't up on my server. So I joined a few groups to check their realms. After doing that for about ten minutes, I left a group, phased back onto my realm and... OH my god.

Image

It spawned at the Eastern most spot (53.0 17.0), between the trees :D The game is really trying hard to pull me back in.

Over the last few weeks I added a few mounts to my collection.

I finally did the last achievs for the cataclysm raider achievment and got this nice wind drake:
Image

Then I did the last two achievs for the cataclym hero achievment and got the volcanic stone drake:
Image

I did all the firelands achievments solo while farming the Lifbinder's Handmaiden and experiment and got an other horned drake after blazing.
Image

by posting this now I see a red color scheme evolving....

Two days ago I found a group in the premade groups saying Pathrunner right before me. I got the invite, flew there. He was still up. A very nice raid of 40 people was forming and when everybody was there we killed him and everyone got a very nice talbuk mount. So happy to have him for Larkania. He matches her mog perfectly
Image

I also got the Shadowhide Pearltusk from Garrison invasion.
Image

And two crafting mounts: creeping carpet and the Dustmane Direwolf. I love this wolf. Such a pretty color!
Image

Image

And last mount:
After YEARS of farming and months of shouting at Wintergrasp for being a) either bugged or b) alliance controlled once I landed I finnaly found a horde controlled Wintergrasp not during battle on my very own server. I went in and the last boss dropped the mount for me:
Image


Now I am at 249 mounts (if I logg on my warlock) - only one more to go!

I finally did it, after suffering through many pugs that could never get the Durumu achieve, and even giving up entirely for a few months...

It's about time: the Armored Skyscreamer!

It took me almost one year, endless battlegrounds, lots of frustration and also joy. But now I finally got my Ashide Mushan:
Image
He looks pretty good with the current pvp gear.

Mushan also means: 250 mounts: MOUNTACULAR

Managed to save up enough apexis for the Corrupted dreadwing! Such a bad*** mount :P And honestly getting enough apexis wasn't too horrible. I already had 60k when the patch went live as I made sure to cap it, and getting the rest was a breeze. Did a few Skettis missives and Tanaan really does give you an abundance between the dailies, bonus objectives, creatures and treasures.

Image
Image

Blackfang claws on the other hand... MUCH bigger pain than apexis. After around 6 hours of farming I was wayyy past exalted and only had enough claws for the revered boar that costs 1,000. It'll be a long grind to get the 5,000 claw one. The claws just drop in such small quantities especially when in a group.

Image

I also bought the two gold sink mounts from the garrison.

Image
Image

That makes 315 mounts. I hope they make two new achievements one day - one for 300 and one for 350.

Wow Lupen! That's incredible, and I am filled with envy at your lovely corrupted dreadwing! ♥ It's what I'm striving for most right now. I was unable to cap my apexis before the patch, but I'm up to 100k already so hopefully within 5 more days or so I should have it. :D Very impressive mount count as well, I've hardly scraped past 200 myself so far.

Thank you both, and good luck getting your dreadwings!

I'm still farming all four Pandaria world boss mounts with over 100 kills each, Invincible, Pureblood Firehawk, Mimiron's Head, Astral Cloudserpent, Blazing Drake, Lifebinder's handmaiden and Experiment 12-B ;-; Also making sure to kill the four Hellbane rares in Tanaan - not a single mount from them yet.

...I have no hope of getting Rukhmar's mount any time soon.

So yeah. Not a lot of luck lately but at least I have some things to work towards :P

Congrats Lupen, as the others said, very impressive number of mounts. How did you get that many? And I thought I was good with reaching 250... ;)

Uhh, just a lot of farming and saving up gold lol. I've played for close to eight years and I've always enjoyed collecting mounts the most, so I've been accumulating them for awhile. I camped the rares like Huolon, TLPD, Aeonaxx. Solo'd every raid and heroic dungeon I've had the ability to and now working my way to the MoP raids. I've done a lot of metas and mount achievements. I made sure to get exalted with every faction with a mount. I've bought all of the gold and profession mounts save for a few like the yak. I also have a few of the TCG mounts...

Trust me, RNG has rarely been kind xD but even RNG has to give in after months and months.

Speaking of RNG I did actually get one more mount yesterday - the Warsong Direfang! I've killed all four of the Hellbane rares each day since the launch of 6.2 but this is my first mount from them, and my favorite :)

Image

Edit: And I just got revered with Order of the awakened so I now have my Skyterror! He's so dang cute lol.

I knew that mount was made for you as soon as I saw it, Vephriel. Congrats!
