Reins of Poseidus are back in 4.1

Unread post by Keleri »

In the Cataclysm beta, the rare seahorse Poseidus dropped a seahorse mount, which was removed before release-- but according to MMO-Champion, it's back in 4.1. Something new for everyone who isn't tired of camping TLPD or Aeonaxx I guess. ;)

I will probably never see this one since I avoid Vash'jir like the plague. PLAGUE

Seconded on avoiding Vash'jir, icky place. I wish they'd change the functionality of this little guy so you could use him elsewhere. Flying seahorse mount would be most excellent, but I'd happily settle for being able to use them for an outside-Vash'jr swimming mount like the sea turtle.

Thirding avoiding Vashj'ir. :lol:

Still...it would be pretty awesome to have the Seahorse mount. Maybe someday, but I don't think I'll be actively looking for it. x)

The tooltip implies a bit that it could be used outside of Vashjr.

I still want the turtle, but since I've actually run across that seahorse before by accident and I still haven't fished up a turtle, I'm cool with this addition. ;)

From the tooltip I'm pretty sure this is the new Sea Turtle. Neat.

Same here. xD I've killed him once, actually. Dropped 97g, so I thought he just dropped gold.
Darn! I'll have to look for him more. Although I never go there..

Well NPCScan actually picks him up if you're way above him, you can just hover above the sea and avoid swimming/being underwater if that isn't your thing :)

On a side note, HOPE he's not Vashj'ir only, it would be of great use for that annoying daily (with the crabs under the docks in SW....grrr.)

This is from MMO champ ok

ChaosStorm posted on the forums earlier today and confirmed that the Reins of Poseidus now drop from Poseidus in the Abyssal Depths (Vashj'ir). According to his post the mount is usable in other water environment, the mount has a 270% speed in Vashj'ir and 108% speed in other areas.

So yes you can use him while you go searching for burried treasure in STV!

Maybe underwater races? That might be fun too

He's definitely a lot lighter and more on the green side. :)
