Meep's Mount Journal! [[105/150]] - Rust is not a molocule..

So, recentally I've gotten back into WoW after a break due to lots of things happening, so here I am again haha! But, now I'm deciding to go for the We're gonna need more saddles(is that a reference to Jaws?) achivement! I'm kinda exited for this achive, because it gives me a challenge rather then just clicking buttons.


Currently camping:
- Aeonaxx [[Active camp]]
- TLPD [[Only fly-bys at the moment]]
- Mysterious Camel Figurines [[Fly-by]]
- Poseidus [[Fly(swim?)-by]]

Currently farming:
- Nether Eggs
- Blue Proto Drake
- Slabhide [[Will super-run Stonecore when I have the time to get]] ((3/25 runs(assuming the 4% droprate is correct))
- Azure Drake
- Onyxian Drake
- Ashes of Alar? [[I have yet to decide if I even WANT this mount, due to having seen it ninja'd a lot..]]
- Drake of South Wind [[Will Super-run ToFW when I have time]]
- Mimron's Head [[Will need help >~<]]
- Rivendare's Charger [[Will Super run when I have time]]

Anything else is on hold at the moment^^ TGC mounts I probably wont get due to I usually have about 2000g on hand, and I dont buy TGC packs :<

But wish me luck guys!

Meep, out!

Some news on farming~
I've averaged my time for the Slabhide run to be about 12 minutes, so if I wanted to do all runs in one day, I'd have to do a 20 hour run which I will NOT be doing!
So I'm thinking 10-20 runs per day depending on time(less or more depending of course).

I'm also thinking maybe that Drake of South Wind will be close to that, as well? However, I always had a harder time with that dungeon instead of stonecore so I'll find that out tomorrow.

In news with camping, nothing yet :< Only doing fly-bys tonight


Edit:
Did Baron run, 8 minutes which levels out to be around 13 hours if I farm consistantly. I'm pretty sure I can do this run in 5 minutes though, if I dont attack anything and just kill the bosses xD

Good luck, Meep! Yeah, I love that we have the achievement mount things back in the game. I'm struggling to get to the 200 one before the patch hits. Hah. But slow and steady wins the race, yes? :3

@Zhuge; Thank you hun^^ Vortex pinacle alone, heroic or normal, I've had trouble on. So I probably will hold off on doing that. Slabhide is fine with me, however, only the starting part I take the most time on.

@Shadow; Thank you too^^ I don't think I'll hit 200, or even 150 by patch hit, but I can still try! I like to try to set out a good 10-20 mounts I'll camp/farm for, get those(or at least try), so it's more organized rather saying: "I will get all these mounts" because, I know I wont xD

Updates~
Nothing in Storm Peaks yet. I did see someone on the 10m Uludar Proto, which scared the daylights out of me! Oh will ^^;

As far as ashes go, just solo it. That way you won't get it ninja'd.

@Meggers; I'll try soloing sooner or later, though I'll fail in the most horrible way xD

Updates~
Did my 10th run of Skadi today, nothing >:I Soon Skadi, soon..

You've got a level 90 hunter, right? Or a level 90 of any sort? It's fairly easy to do at that level, especially as a ranged, if you have the right strategy. Let me know if you'd like it. For Ashes, that is.

@Shadow; Sadly no >.< Mara, my main hunter, is only level 87. I've been procrastinating big time with leveling her, I've just been really busy with everything.

Update~
I didn't do much today, gonna go check some fly-bys, and that's gonna be it for tonight. I did find Green Madexx earlier, but some ***hole killed him, only saying "I do what I want", which really set me in a mood >.<

My warlock solos kael and i had a guildie that was doing it with his rogue. Don't need a hunter to do it! :D

Why I said a 90 of any sort xD I used to farm on my hunter and my squishable mage. The higher level you get and the better your gear, the easier it is to do. By 90, it's trivial.

I'm going to do some Baron runs, and then focus on getting level 88-90 tonight! xD I'm pretty sure I can do it, as long as my friends dont start bothering me >.>

Good luck with Baron, I finally got him to give up his mount after fifty million runs with zilch for a consolation prize :x
Now I just need the Huntsman to do the same with Midnight and I'll be golden.

@Alex; Thank you hun^^ I just aggro everything and lead it to the bosses, and then kill everything XD! I also loot everything which gets me about 200-400g each time, so that's not bad. And good luck with Huntsman! When I first ran Kara on my druid, I got that mount, so I wish you the best of luck with him!

Yeah, towards the end I started doing that on my druids xD Just run through everything (and get infuriated at the web stuns) before swiping them all to death. Made the runs more amusing, which was a plus.

Good luck with your vortex pinnacle and stone core runs :) fortunately I got pretty lucky with those and got both of them last night.

Some tips when you hit 90 for vortex pinnacle you can avoid pretty much all of the trash towards the fist boss just run around the edge with cheeta and Camouflage on.
When you kill the first boss Camouflage should be off cooldown. Camouflage till you get to the bridge with the balls when you reach the other side you dont need to Camouflage anymore just run wide around the dragon and run up the slope on the edge sometimes you still end up pulling the last mob but just keep running and feign death. after you kill the boss just jump off you get ported back to the entrance!

With some lv 90 blue gear on normal runs it should take you about 5-10 mins or so. with my gear it took me around 3-5 mins per run.

For stone core I guess you know the usual tactics of doing the last trash pack first and then the first one?

But really try to get 90 asap even with blue gear scaling is so ridicules you will be blowing through everything with ease not to mention your aggro range gets smaller as well so you can skip some trash and speed things up if you wish to do so.

@Alex; Druids are just easier for me, and I know how to heal on them as well so there's nothing bad there.
@Malackai; Thank you hun^^ I'm trying to get to 90 asap, but I've also been procrastinating a lot and busy >.< Tests start next week for me, so yeah >.<

Updates!
I haven't been busy with stuff lately, but I have tamed two pets!

Image
THe first is Deth, which I havent named yet ^^; I tried kiting him, and he ended up evading after the second deth shot. A hunter then helped me out, so yay for that~! I also checked on Skitterflame for him, and luckily she was up! Yay for karma ^3^

Image
The second was a Spirit of the North, who I fell in love with. I absoloutly love the white colour! I'm also thinking of naming it after my favorite Villian, Kefka, haha^^

And that's about it~ I didnt get anything from my H-UP run, but I hope so to soon!

Heehee, thank you^^ I've been busy lately, so no updates v~v

Oh, on the otherhand to that, I am leveling a druid, which will take some time out of camping and such! Tests also start next week, so I'll just be doing fly-bys and 1-2 runs of Stonecore and Baron's run.
