New "Ultra rare" mount (Purple Firebird) in 6.1
apparently the catch is that you need to actually "find it". What does that mean? Supposedly the 6.1 mount journal says it is found from an egg, does that mean we loot an egg a-la camel statues from cata? Or what? Curious!

At the end of the video is where its mentioned
Here's what it looks like

Gives me hope for the green-fel version. NGL I'd love a nice blue sapphire for both types of fire hawk too.

"I believe you misplaced this in the void. Be more careful next time, $n."
Probably a rare chance when the Postmaster mails you random trash that you didn't loot. At least that'd be what I'd make it drop from.

Re: New "Ultra rare" mount (Purple Firebird) in 6.1
There's a lot of speculation about this mount: some say that the Egg could drop from one of the Garrison raid bosses (very small chance) and then the Egg would lead to some scenario where you would receive the mount, others say it could very well be another Camel-like mount, with the Egg having a tiny chance to spawn in certain places around Draenor. Still, nobody has figured it out and it has remained a total mistery how we will get this mount.
Re: New "Ultra rare" mount (Purple Firebird) in 6.1
Well it looks like the patch has made it to release without anyone finding the mount. Hopefully one of us here finds it first
I know a few of us have scoured Shadowmoon on the PTR to no avail.
Check your void storage. Maybe it'll float into there from the void

Re: New "Ultra rare" mount (Purple Firebird) in 6.1
Oh the wowhead entry i saw someone post this.
"At randomized intervals, the elusive and highly sought after portal to the Edge of Reality will spawn in some of the higher level areas in Dreanor! Once the portal is opened it’ll only be around for a little while and is also only available to the very first person to enter it. Once it’s activated by that fortunate soul the portal will not open again until the next flux in time and space. This is truly a unique experience in that it’s a true test of patience, luck, and more luck!"
There is no screenshot to confirm its validity so take this with a grain of salt.

Re: New "Ultra rare" mount (Purple Firebird) in 6.1
I wonder if it's just a world drop?
Maybe it can drop from any mob. Or any lootable treasure.

I have been searching all night for these "portals". Nothing yet.

There was a screenshot on wowhead, but Draenor was spelled wrong, so it could be a hoax.
Re: New "Ultra rare" mount (Purple Firebird) in 6.1
Thanks for the reports
It's a compelling idea but, yeah, it seems like a GM would be SERIOUSLY overstepping their authority to provide that much information.
As people have pointed out the spelling mistake is glaring, but also (to me) the text itself reads more like someone with less developed English skills attempting to sound professional than someone who actually is.
None of which proves it's fake. We all make typos when we type quickly, and GMs aren't selected solely for their prose But I'd be shocked if a GM was allowed to provide that much info. In a tweet recently, Jeremy Feasel wouldn't even confirm if it was in the game, let alone any clues on how to find it.

For me, I believe nothing til I see a screencap of the mount itself. Basically "Pics or it didn't happen" approach.

Thank You For The Info. Problem with logging in right now but when able to get on the area will probably be heavily camped. Poundfist part deux!Krauth wrote:Friend just linked me this : http://puu.sh/gfChl/a8cb2aad03.jpg

Re: New "Ultra rare" mount (Purple Firebird) in 6.1
Eesh, I'm glad I have the flying version of the purple fire bird or I'd be tearing my hair out at the thought of trying to camp/hunt this!
Congrats to the lucky people who have found it! It's a gorgeous mount, I hope I'll stumble across a portal one day but I don't think I'll push myself much beyond some casual searching. I'm assuming there's only one portal up at a time, and it's on a very long spawn timer, and can spawn just about anywhere in any one of the zones. Far too much RNG for me!
It's certainly a unique experience though, I think the whole idea is very cool if not agonizingly frustrating for anyone that is pining for the mount.

Re: New "Ultra rare" mount (Purple Firebird) in 6.1
Wow, well done ummeiko
I wonder if the mail that was datamined is for people who enter the portal but somehow miss the egg. Maybe it's a failsafe

It seems to me that this mount is insanely harder to get than Aeonaxx and TLPD. Not only do the portals have spawn points in different areas all around Draenor, but they can also spawn in different places inside those level 100 areas. So it pretty much is an anti-camping, anti-farming, anti-cooperation mount that requires you to be extremely lucky to get: be in the right moment at the right time. If you camp one place, chances are you will be sitting on that same spot for months on end until the portal spawns in that exact location. Oh, and let's not forget that the portals disappear after a few minutes too amd seems to be on a long timer since only today did people start linking kill reports and maintenance was already tuesday/wednesday.

Re: New "Ultra rare" mount (Purple Firebird) in 6.1
Thanks for the links, i found some stuff earlier in wowhead, its like a diff version of the DKs portals, and yeah i basically don't even want to try and camp it, i'm just fishing and regularly running trough certain areas for the kicks, but i'll most likely never get this mount, it's too much trouble for a dif color.Curtarc wrote:Krauth wrote:

Re: New "Ultra rare" mount (Purple Firebird) in 6.1
I posted my story on Wowhead but basically, it was pure random while farming Highmaul reliquaries. I could see the portal from very far away and I was mostly like "What's that smoke behind that tree?" followed by "OHSH-- mustclickmustclick!" I forgot to take a screencap of the portal but it was exactly like the other one posted here, only different location. It stands out in Nagrand, where it probably doesn't as much in frostfire.
The tree I found it by is already starting to get campers in some servers it seems. Good luck!
Edit to add: It appears you can't click the portal while in a group, it will despawn and give you an error. HOWEVER, there have been reports of people who did have that happen getting a mail from Khadgar with the mount in it. Same e-mail that Wain posted earlier about misplacing it in the void (similar to how the postmaster will sometimes mail you loot that you either missed or there was an error picking up).
