Vial of the Sands

...I can see the endless amusement again my guild. One pally with the chopper is known for offering rides, then leaping off Dal. Now I get to offer him a ride, leap off, bird fo-Stupid bubble. Stupid engineering tricks. Dangit.

I have this feeling that there will be something that prevents the rider from going splat. Though I hope not.

O_o

To add to that,

"Guildies don't let guildies fly drunk."

"Don't ride people you don't trust."

LMAO!

Probably just give the rider a parachute buff or something if they get booted in the air

That better not be the only perk alchemists get, though. And seriously, you'd think leatherworkers/blacksmiths could make more heavily armored mounts of their own - just combine a purchased mount with whatever materials and bam, there ya go.

Actually I really like this idea. Making armor for specific critters, maybe buying slower mounts and putting armor on them. It'd just be a reskinned/recolored version of any armored mount, but it'd still be cool.

Also, that dragon looks cool, but damn I wouldn't want to be the person riding on it. Look at all those spikes! If your alch friend even SNEEZES while you're riding, you'd be impaled! X_X

"Don't ride people you don't trust."

Quoted for wisdom. Not to mention the chuckle it brought.

The latest post on MMO has the vial as being BoP.

[MaximumOverdrive]

Thought the vial was always BoP? But I still don't see an alchemy requirement to keep using it.

Oh shoot... if I drop mining I will lose my ability to smelt elementium. >.< maybe that's not such a great idea...

So mining would have to go, though yes, I'd lose the ability to smelt elementium.

If you guys are talking about the old Smelt Elementium, I seriously doubt that's gonna work for Cataclysm elementium..
And seem to remember reading something about the two being completely seperate (mmo-champ, probably..)

Anyway, getting this on my druid for sure! Got JC now, and it's just an annoyance. Have too many characters doing too many things to keep up with the JC market. And a shapeshift mount fits him perfectly!

[Eraanagosa]

I'm oing to try and make one as soon as I discover it. Hopefully it won't take too long to discover.
