Re: 100 mounts achievement question
I feel for you, but Saturo's right. If I didn't get lucky with drops (i.e Razzashi Raptor/White Hawstrider), I would've needed all 5. Honour is extremely easy to get nowadays, the dailies give shed loads, and with the Random Battleground it's easy to break up the monotony. =) If you REALLY want 100 mounts, you go for it! ;P/sigh I hate pvping on my hunter. Although watching idiots try to kill my pet before me is hilarious. What sucks for me is that the only time Alliance has WG on my server is between 4am-8am after that Horde FTW. I only have about 12k honor on her, and that's after turning in all the BG badges, and shards I had.
Re: 100 mounts achievement question
Magisters' Terrace: Swift White Hawkstrider
Sethekk Halls: Raven Lord
Tempest Keep: Ashes of Al'ar\
I am not certain if they were included in your list but there are also the seasonal mounts that drop from a boss. The Brewfest Ram, the Brewfest Kodo, the Love Rocket, The Headless Horseman's Mount.
Absolutely check out the http://www.warcraftmounts.com/ site to help yourself keep track of what is left to gather. You can strike out every purchasable/TGC mount and it should be a great help to you!

Re: 100 mounts achievement question
And "world events" covers the seasonal ones, there's only 3 since the ram is no longer available, having been replaced with the kodo last year

The ram still exists and does drop. The kodo was an addition, not a replacement.
I'm sitting at 96 mounts myself and five of those were "difficult" drops. All that did was save me grinding for tourney mounts. Oh, and two are from engineering. It's really simple now, but you WILL need to farm battlegrounds/rep/etc.

5 PvP Mounts
9 Talbuks
6 Nether Drakes
5 Nether Rays
1 Drake (red)
1 Cenarion Hippogryff
3 Mammoths
9 AT Mounts

These are the dropped/special/achievement mounts I used to get to 100:
1 Zevrah (retired)
1 Sea Turtle
1 Baron's Deathcharger
1 Brewfest Ram
1 Brewfest Kodo
1 White Polar Bear
2 Drakes (bronze, albino)
1 Ravasaur (quest)
1 Black War Bear
4 AQ Tanks
2 Proto-Drakes (green/violet)
3 Crafted (2 eng, 1 tailoring)
From then on I also got:

There are also more AT mounts available for me to get, along with more dropped mounts, a few more rep and then the money dumps like the bike. As you can see there are lots of options, and more probably that I havn't mentioned. Good luck on your dragonhawk

Re: 100 mounts achievement question
Don't stress about getting 100 mounts, since there is plenty of options and like cowmuflage sad you can get it without any rare drops. I know you hate pvp (I do as well), but like everyone has said those six mounts really help in the long run.

BGs are EXTREMELY efficient now, even if you're losing, simply because of the consolation honor for a randomized loss.Dulanie wrote:To get the pvp mounts I would have to do BGs considering that Alliance on my server only has WG when horde side is raiding or at 4am. Either way it averages to once or twice a day.

Re: 100 mounts achievement question
Farming AVs is the most efficient way, actually. Randomized AVs are the best, but your chances of getting that lucky are low. A straight AV honor farm would provide about 25% more honor than the average of farming randoms. You see, randoms contain things like WSG and AB, and those aren't considered that optimal. They are time-consuming, and reward surprisingly little honor.Kalliope wrote:BGs are EXTREMELY efficient now, even if you're losing, simply because of the consolation honor for a randomized loss.Dulanie wrote:To get the pvp mounts I would have to do BGs considering that Alliance on my server only has WG when horde side is raiding or at 4am.

Re: 100 mounts achievement question
I was unaware that the swift ram was still available, I thought both got retired last year. I didn't see EITHER drop during Brewfest last year, just a lot of trinkets and broken bottles. There's always this year though.
There's a good trick to soloing the AQ40 mounts, and it goes like this:
1 - Bring tank pet into Temple of Ahn Qiraj (not Ruins, as I found out the hard way >.<)
2 - There will be 4 anubis-like mobs on the far wall
3 - Send your pet in and single one out to kill (If you're BM and can get your pet to hold aggro you might be able to get 2 if the mobs don't pop Mortal Strikes)
4 - Feign Death and let your pet die
5 - Wait for the mobs to run back to their starting points and respawn any dead ones
6 - Rez pet
7 - Loot corpse
8 - Repeat 3-7 as necessary until you get your bug!
While this is a raid and technically you have to be in a raid group to go in, you can handily cheat by grouping with a friend, converting that group to a raid, and then waltz in by yourself while they chill in Dalaran. It took me 8 attempts to get my blue tank, so the drop rates aren't terrible. Just keep at it, and remember to loot everything - AQ scarabs can turn out to be worth lots to the right people!
And in case you should wonder, and in case you should care...on that night of all nights, we were already there.
Re: 100 mounts achievement question
Hey I just want to correct on what I said earlier about the Brewfest mounts since I forgot about the upcoming changes to holiday bosses! I guess it depends on whether or not it's going to be implemented before Cataclysm (or before the next mount-dropping holiday boss anyways), but holiday loot will be a solo thing now dropping from a cache (similar to the cache from the end of random occ which contains the blue drake).Gumballs wrote:Brewfest are about the same as any mount to get, plus you only have 2 weeks to do it, and it's not for months. If you have a nice group of 4+ people (including alts) that will let you have both mounts if they drop it will be a breeze to get because I'm betting you will see at least one. I did Brewfest as many times as I could, probably at least 9-10 summons a day and I saw a total of 3 kodos and 2 rams over the course of the holiday. Luckily I was running with friends who rolled, won and gave to me.
So I guess we will see if that increases the mount chance, or decreases it. I think they will definitely be harder to get if they keep the current drop rate because it's a one chance per day personal loot.. which means you can't bring a huge group of people and have them pass on the mount if it drops.
