Before Cata I worked on saving my gold, and ended up getting just over 15k before it hit. Since then I havn't really been worry about it, making about another thousand. I am still level 82 and 80 on my mains, with my focus being on my new gobby who I love! My goal was to save for a tcg mount, and I didn't want to dip below 10k no matter how cool the gold sink mounts are.
My boyfriend on the other hand was guild first to 85, with mining and skinning. He started with 1k, made 17k on mats and then found a BoE epic which he sold for 15k. Man he was set!
Today he messaged me while I was on my gobby, telling me to get on Gum (my main and mount collector) to dance naked with him because he wanted to video it. I was like 'eh, what the hell' so I did. We were on the roof in Org and he started trading cloth with me, one at a time, to help with my tailoring. He put in three trade windows full, then on the last one I saw something purple.. a Mechano-Hog!
I was like !!! And I clicked 'x', I didn't want him to spend so much gold on me! I called him because I was so excited, and he kept telling me to accept and use it so I finally did. It was awesome! He had secretly went to a guildy and good friend of mine in game and gave him the gold, asking him to craft it for me. Sneaky sneaky!
So this makes mount number 118, and definitely one of my faves. SO many parts move, and its so detailed and awesome. That coupled with the fact that it was a present from my boyfriend makes it in the top 2, with the other being my tiger (which he also passed on for me).
I'm SO happy! He's the sweetest boy on the planet, and this is an awesome in game Christmas present! Now I just need to think of something to get him.
