Mists of Pandaria Mounts

Looks to me a shop one or the mount collecting achieve one.

I just want the black one...

Matchy matchy! <3

The black ones the guild mount I think?

Seems to me like it will be a rare drop of Elegon, a boss in the Mogu'Shan Vaults (raid instance) who at the moment has a placeholder black god model.

Elegon
Dedicated to the advancement of their empire, the mogu salvaged and repurposed titan technology to generate untold power in the depths of this ancient complex. Why these energies have been focused into the cold will of a celestial dragon is a mystery that lies at the very heart of the vaults.

[Ziarre]

Hmm...could be. Hard to say until it's made into an item and found/datamined!

So, I think I goofed up on the black lightning serpent. I believe that's actually just showing one of the lightning effects that go off. But in game, the guild pet is green with lightning, so I guess the mount is as well. The lightning serpent, if I recall correctly, only has green and red and other "skins" that show the various lightning effects.
Which kind of sucks, cause really, it looks badass just being black.

[Meggers]

Celestial serpent is pretty!

Various mounts...animated! All I've seen for these things are pictures from mmochamp. Was nice to see them animated.

I doubt the Celestial Cloud Serpent will be a Blizz Store mount simply because they already have a celestial mount on the Blizz Store. But with saying that, I was also pretty determined that the Heart of the Aspects mount looked too 'good' to be a Blizz Store mount and thought it would be a rare drop or achievement mount, but I was wrong so who knows. xD

[Ziarre]

The reason I don't think it'll be a Store mount is because the matching pet isn't one. Not a huge basis to go on, but there you have it.

[Fumu]

Green? Aww, that's depressing. I don't really like the green mounts with lightning effects... it just feels like it would be so much cooler on a blue, purple, gray or black one. Plus, it makes the plainer green Jade Wind Serpent kind of redundant (Especially since you can only choose one daily mount after the 20 days.) It's easy to join a level capped guild and rep will be easier to obtain than ever.

Oh well, at least it's a -perfect- match for my green clad Elemental Shaman with the lightning and all.

It looked like they were going the Netherwing approach from the dailies angle, but it's looking more and more like a Proto drake style smattering where you'll be lucky to get a mount of the entire model, let alone one that matches you. Not that variety is a bad thing, but it's just so frustrating from a solo farmer's perspective who wants to collect mounts via dailies or something on her raiding offdays as opposed to bashing her head against the wall with achievement mount runs or endless camping.

I just hope the golden one isn't a .01% raid drop.

Are the panda mounts in the game yet? If so where is the vender...lol...I havent seen or found anything yet so thought I'd ask

[Kalliope]

Dragon turtles are in, though you need to be a panda to buy them. They cost 3k each. x_x Vendors are in SW and Org.

[Ziarre]

Hopefully they'll add a way for other races to get their hands on them eventually.

[Kalliope]

Well...yes. We just don't have panda tabards yet.

[Ziarre]

Yeah, I noticed. They'd probably need to figure out a way for such a tabard to work! Unless it's just as simple as going 'k, Alliance Pandaren tabard, and Horde Pandaren tabard, separate reps.'

[cowmuflage]

Thats bound to what is going to happen.

[Kalliope]

I was thinking it'd be like any neutral faction, one tabard that everyone can buy.

[Ziarre]

If we gain rep with Wandering Isle pandaren in general...wouldn't that mean Horde pandaren should be friendly to Alliance toons with the rep? *ducks*

[Makoes]

Its like the Steamweedle Cartel vs the Bilgwater Cartel. Same species, different factions. (and just ignore that steamweedle is neautral)

Alliance Pandarens and Horde Pandarens are same species, different beliefs. So tabards would probably be Pandaren (alliance) and Pandaren (horde)

like the Alliance balloon vs Horde balloon...

*is chasing tail around in a circle.*

Pandaren NPC's will probably be neutral outside of faction (A/H) areas.

[Andine]

That's what's already programmed in. If you check Wowhead, there's a Tushui tabard and Huojin tabard. Only the quartermasters are not in yet, and they'll probably sit next to the Stormwind and Orgrimmar flight points.
(On that note, the Orgrimmar quartermaster area will be slowly getting crowded)
