Yeah. A warlock friend and I did this one together. And I've been known to dole up my Horde for people who need some extended slaughtering. It's a relief to me, too! Even though I've got them!

*squee*

I hope it isn't impossible to get.

Also rumor is that the yeti is the CM mount this go-around.

Just gave me a chuckle

Edit: I wouldn't be surprised if the Solar Spirehawk drops off the Arakkoa Sun God world boss.

Oops, someone configured the skins in the wrong order :P At least we can be sure what coloured canopy the green one is using. ;)

Ew...yeti mounts. I think I'll be cutting out of these CM's this time around if that's the case. Phoenix, good! Yeti, bad! Well, that's my view anyway. If someone wants to ride an overgrown monkey...be my guest.

Added the new black and white (more like silver) rylak/chimaera skins to the mounts list. They're both pretty nice colours:

With the new build, things I've noticed:

1: Felfire Hawk is implemented.

2: The Gorerider Gronnling (aka Greg the Gronnling) is the new Raid meta ach reward.

3: New Gronnling mount: Sunhide Gronnling: a yellow one

4: The white yeti mount is the new 'All Silver' CM prize

5: Boar, Riverbeast, and Talbuk mounts implemented

6: Many wolf, clefthoof and Elekk mounts renamed. Elekks are no longer all the same one.

7: A sunhawk mount added.

8: Horde motorcycle is now 'Warlords Deathwheel'

a lot of this is likely known already x.x

Thanks for that summary, Magna :)

Most of these have already been updated on the front of Warcraft Mounts, but some of the images we still have to check which saddle colours are being used and also the boar names need updatiung. I ran out of time last night. So much to update this patch! Zzzzzz.

In case anyone interested in the Emerald Drake didn't see:

Posted it under the Felfire Hawk thread too but figured people might not see it there due to the title of that thread.

....Okay. So you go with Blazing drake instead of Life-binder's handmaiden? Wow. And why is the sandstone drake on there?

I guess as much as the Life-binder's handmaiden (in my opinion) is much prettier and iconic looking, the Blazing Drake has a MUCH higher drop rate and drops in all 10, 10H, 25, and 25H making it hopefully easier to obtain for those that don't have.

The Sandstone is an interesting choice, but I don't mind the fact that there is one that crafted just for variety. If you collect the materials yourself it will cost you 24000g for the Vendor only available items, which if your farming all the other drakes for this achievement, one could quite easily obtain in the time if would take to collect all the others.

By all means, I don't think that this achievement is a walk in the park, but then it's good to have some more difficult achievements in the game (like the "Insane" title." It makes them
a) more desirable
b) something you have to work hard and a long time for
c) and makes it feel like a REAL achievement once you actually get there.

I for one am still quite jealous of Wain's "The Insane" title, but that's because I know how hard it was to get (back in the day) and I still don't think I have the stamina to get it now :lol:

*takes note* alright Spiritbinder. I'm holding you to this one. If you're wrong, I'll be swooping you up on a newly acquired blazing drake that I had to fight people for.

It's a bit of a silly image, a solo hunter slaying Deathwing :/ I approve of it, however :mrgreen: I like dragons. Be thankful we haven't got the aeonaxx mount on there. Or the tlpd :o

I just don't like sandstone being on there, for the fact that it isn't even a real drake. You are just transforming into one.

Onyxian I can understand, another type of black dragon. But the Blazing Drake has 2 other skins that use the same model. I already have Life-Binder's, I really don't want to go into DS again so I have a chance of getting a green color of all the other drakes I have.

Infinite Drake would be more worth something like this. But just a green drake with it's eyes closed I feel like they should tone it down a bit, or update the model. Maybe similar to Ysera. Like "Dream-Binder's Handmaiden"?

.... if it has its eyes closed? That *alone* moved it way up in the chart for me. Maybe surprisingly, but yeah. It really did/does. A lot of awesome meaning behind just that one little thing.

EDIT: I have *got* to stop using Fe-... er, 'that other site's' format for trying to quote. D'uh.

It's not a bad idea...tho I cringe with it having Blazing and Onyxian. Those mounts hate me (along with Anzu, stupid bird). It be cool idea...if the reward was just as cool...but it just seems like a lot of luck and work for something that old...at least update the model if it's gonna be that difficult to get.

I don't mind it too much. i have all but the blazing drake right now and ds is already a laughing matter. of ultraxion didn't hit me so hard and spine didn't roll if you are imbalanced then i could be soloing it by now- so in wod it will be a piece of cake! since it was going to be the 250 mount reward at first i don't mind it still being kind of hard to obtain. makes it feel more rewarding to me. although i do feel sorry for the less casual collectors who just want it for rp reasons for their druid or something.
