Down to the final stretch
Unfortunately I've come to something of an impasse for the last one...
95 - Black War Kodo (20 000 honour to go)
96 - Frostwolf Howler (another 50 000 honour)
97 - Celestial Charger (anniversary present from bf)
98 - Mechano-hog (3/8 pistons + iron golem parts)
99 - Horde Mammoth (59 seals to go)
100 - ??
So that's where I stand. I've gotten the rest of the pvp mounts, the faction mounts, the AT mounts and various miscellaneous ones. Most of the ones I'm missing are rare drops from raids or instances, and my luck for getting anything from those, let alone a mount, is pretty terrible. Suggestions for what to go after for that final mount are welcomed, I'm really at a loss for ideas.
And in case you should wonder, and in case you should care...on that night of all nights, we were already there.

Or the Baron's mount in (Strat, I believe?). I still need that one on my hunter, and she's only 74-75~ mounts into the acheivement.

Re: Down to the final stretch
I was going to skip the Baron completely, as it didn't seem fruitful. He pushed me to as it was rep. On the third and last needed kill for my rep, the Baron's mount dropped. Color me damned surprised O_o
So. RNG can surprise you (in a good way!) once in a while. Keep your chin up n' good luck

Re: Down to the final stretch
There's also a great guide around here somewhere on how to solo-tank for the raptor and tiger mounts....ah, here we go:

And the AQ tanks too?

Hope I'm not being too repetitive ^^; I find sometimes I completely forget certain places have certain mounts is all!
Edit: Aah, totally forgot about the deep-sea turtle too!

Re: Down to the final stretch
These are the ones thats easy to forget imo.
-are you sure you got ALL faction mounts? cenarion, netherewing, the ice mammoths, red drake? ect.
-have you gotten the wintergrasp war mammoth?
-Have you gotten the two mammoths and the flyer thats in dalaran?
-anny crafted ones? Like the mecha hog and/or the flying carpets?
and most importantly.
-Did you go into AQ40 to get those silithid mounts? you cant use em outside the instance but they are indeed mounts.
They all drop from trash so you can run in, kill 3 of the anubis guards. run out. run in and loot, and the 3 you just killed should be back up.
as long you left one alive, You can farm the mounts like this.

Re: Down to the final stretch
Also, any achievement mounts? Obviously you'd have the albino drake, but what about the Heroic/Raid achievement rewards? Or the holiday purple protodrake?
There's also the Time-Lost Proto Drake and the blue protodrake that drops from UP, too.

Re: Down to the final stretch
The charger evidently had it's droprate upped, I forget where but it has a higher percent chance to drop than other most drop mounts. And I figure it'll take a year of steadily buying the green proto eggs, Aria got hers a few weeks ago. /jealousArkiss wrote:I had planned on it, but two of my guildies grouped with me so I could solo run AQ40. After about the 8th anubis kill the [blue resonating crystal] dropped! I may never see the baron's charger or green protodrake, but I guess my luck isn't completely terrible after all!
Anyways gz on the battle tank.
Re: Down to the final stretch
Everyone has mentioned everything already I think. Nether drakes, nether rays, cenarian hippo, talbuks, red drake, ice mammoths, etc. What about the Dark talbuks? I farm killed my boyfriends gnome to get the points for it, and that was number 100 for me. Its often overlooked. And I think you get 14 or 15 from the AT (more if you are a pally), so that's a HUGE collection booster if you are missing any.
Some easy soloable drops: baron's, zg tiger, zg raptor, ravenlord (if you have a druid friend), aq bugs, attunemen's mount (2-3 man), white hawkstrider, white polar bear (dailies), green protodrake. Blue drake is also a higher drop with 5% but you also have to get occ for the random, and win the battle with rng.
Congrats early on your dragonhawk

Re: Down to the final stretch
I haven't started solo-farming any of the rare-drop mounts yet, but I've been randoming in the hopes of getting the blue drake, and also for enough seals to buy my horde mammoth (151/200.) Happily I do have the polar bear, but no luck yet on hatching the green protodrake yet. I wish they would lower the cooldown time, or up the droprate, its been nearly a year now with not so much as a protodrake whelp to show for it.
My completed mount groups are the Netherwing, Nether Rays, AT, Horde Factions, Tailoring, Cenarion Expedition, Maghar and Wyrmrest Accord.
I'm working on the BG (black war kodo), Sons of Hodir (Grand ice mammoth), Engineering (mechano-hog), Kirin Tor (horde mammoth and traveler's tundra mammoth) AQ40 (red, yellow and green battle tanks) and of course the various raid/dungeon drops and achievement-related mounts.
And in case you should wonder, and in case you should care...on that night of all nights, we were already there.

Re: Down to the final stretch
I'm well familiar with THAT one. I've been chilling around Nagrand for days on Silinrul trying to grind ogres for beads for Kurenai rep, and I've never seen a single person in Halaa. I'm thinking of recruiting a few level 80 petopians to stand there naked and let me shoot'em just to get the tokens. -_-; Normally I'd try to do it the legit way, but it's hard to legitimately PvP if there is nobody to attempt to kill.Arkiss wrote:Almost no one on my server does Halaa pvp anymore, sadly. That might not matter if I can rope one of my alli-alt guildies into pvping with me for a bit, but progress on the dark talbuks has been slow.
