Just after I posted in the soloing stonecore thread, look who finally decided to drop!

Congrats, Wassa! Ooo, he's beautiful. I always forget how pretty he is.

So jealous! He's beautiful! Grats! :mrgreen:

Gratz Wassa on your lovely Stone Drake! I have yet to find my own, lucky!

A little update from myself as I've been fairly lucky in the last couple of weeks!

First off, my guild has been running OS3D 10m for the past 4/5 weeks or so with a group of around 7 that was initially constructed by myself and one other person in the guild as we both collect mounts. I've been drooling after a Black Drake since the day I first saw one but I kept losing the rolls =/ I get quite deflated when I lose rolls on things that I want A LOT (I want most things I roll on but some more than others

) but I just kept at it. It got more difficult though because as soon as the other friend I mentioned got his Drake (on the second week might I add) he wanted to do the 25m version right away before we all had our mounts. Talk about impatient. He started refusing to come with us as he didn't want a lock out so it was difficult to persuade enough people to come, our group isn't big afterall.

On the 5th run (I think) it was down to me and the guild leader who still wanted the drake and when it came to rolling he passed so I could win it! He's not as bothered as I am about collecting mounts and stuff.

I was SO SO Happy! This mount replaced my Red drake as my archaeology mount because it's so awesome!

A few days later I finally got a into a group that did "For the Alliance" properly. They had loads of people, went from Undercity to Silvermoon to Thunderbluff before tackling Org. My realm is ally heavy but the Horde always overwhelmed us in past attempts due to the lack of decent geared people on our end. Also in past groups we always went for Garrosh first which lead to many wipes and disgruntled players leaving before doing the other places.
This time we SLAUGHTERED them and I gots my bear!

Caught some lucky bugger on their Blue Drake there.

Not a mount really but something which will lead me to getting a mount! When I save enough to afford it...

This feels like my 8th jar but I'm not 100% on that fact. It took AGES to get this Canopic jar to pop up on my Arch table, made a nice little packet from all the cat statues, mosaics and paintings but I really just wanted one jar! I had been bitter the night before because of the amount of time I spent looking for this recipe compared to my guildie's FIRST Canopic Jar containing it! The next Arch loot is another Jar... see now that I have it I want the pet or the mount to show up.

And lastly we head back to Obsidium Sanctum. Now I had complained about my Guildie wanting to go straight to 25m version and the week after I got my Black Drake I again tried to get the 10m version up for the remaining people to get a chance at the mount. However no one seemed interested and we never ran the raid that week. Last week now (Although actually this week as it was the day before yesterday. But as it's Wednesday and the realm reset... yeah) I again tried to get the run going again but no one was up for it... Ok weird, I thought people wanted the mount but nevermind. To be fair once of the last two to get the mount weren't online (neither was the guildie who adamantly wants the 25m) but the Guild leader was. I saw in chat someone was getting a 25m version together so I thought "why not" and joined in.

Honestly after the 4/5 runs it took for me to get my Black Drake I wasn't expecting anything, especially as this was going to be my second run ever in OS 25m. The raid leaders had said that they run this every week so no worries if I didn't win, I was welcome to join in again.
We wiped once due to a bug where Sartharion was getting healed and and wasn't losing enough hp at all. The second time however went really smoothly and he went down fast, the loot came up and the rolling began. We didn't have a full group of 25, around 9 although not sure form the SS if anyone left before I took it. It had been commented that there were too many.
I rolled need, as did everyone else then the results came up and I was in shock when I read the following:
"You won Reins of the Twilight Drake"
"You receive loot Reins of the Twilight Drake"

I had won with a roll of 97 which beat other rolls of 94 and 89 plus other high ones.

I'm still in awe of the thing, I've always been envious of players who own one and now I have my own! So while I still adore my Black Drake, this really is the pinnacle of favouritism just now! I've been highly enjoying such chores as herbing and fishing purely because I get to fly around on it!

Grats on all those mounts! I need to get my butt on farming the canopic jars more, I've only had like 2 so far. @_@

Mom came home with a wow game card and said she was bored and resubbing. So naturally I freaked out and forced her to wait until I sent her a scroll lol.
Now I have my spectral gryphon

Been doing Archaeology for the recipe, the pets, the mount...no luck. But I found the second real camel figurine while digging in Uldum (first one went to my hordie hunter). A hunter friend came to get it :-)

Then this morning, I found Poseidus.

But the mount will go to the bank and be a nice present for someone some day.

An hour and a half after the event started while farming for the mount it happened to drop out of one of the eggs which also makes it my 150th mount;-) http://imageshack.us/f/35/wowscrnshot040812004103.jpg/

Congrats! My boyfriend got the mount to drop from the eggs too and he was teasing me about it. -.-

There was this special little bugger on the AH for a measly 33k buyout... So of course I had to transfer a toon with 12k over to my main realm (I only had 21k there at the time). Half an hour later the transfer went through and I ZOOMED to the AH.

YESYESYESYESYES! <3

Crimson Deathchargers seem to be cheap recently, especially when there's multiple of them on the AH... *Saves*

I'd only seen one at a time, if even that lately. The realm being really Horde-dominated, I find it was a very good deal. :3
