Mount Acomplishment Thread

[Snowy]

Reading all these TLPD stories makes me so jealous, TLPD hates me.

I can't believe I wasn't subbed to this thread already! I love reading people's mount stories and although I prefer to make my own personal thread for my own mount hunting and collecting, I'll be stopping by here every now and then to say grats to all you lucky sods! (;

YO LUPIS

ABOUT TIME.

So today I get on a bit late after watching a document and although I was planning on doing lunar festival stuff first I had this nagging feeling that I NEEDED to get to kara- like right NOW. So I ask around until I get a guildie to help me make a raid group before he logging off.
I get to kara and expect a smooth run seeing how I had gotten the hang of soloing it and usually only die once on trash. Things didn’t go so well and i died four times and had the boss bug twice. (70 are squishy. Dx)Just before I pull for the third time I think about how ironic it would be if the mount dropped since the past two times I had a horrible mount run I had been rewarded with a mount at the end. When I finally kill them, (and survive by the skin of my teeth.) I go to loot and lo and behold….





I have named her Nightwish since my playlist randomly chose a song from that band every single time I would go in to farm her. (Freaky right?) Her nick name is Glue though since my friend who no longer plays liked to fondly refer to the horse as such. xD

I've decided I'm not really going to keep a mount journal going anymore, so I'll just post in here from time to time when/if I get lucky.

Seems that lately, I've been extremely lucky.

I managed to get the Drake from VP only after 5 runs which my girlfriend helped me with <3. She passed all her really important exams lately, so I got her an Amani Dragonhawk:



Anyway with all the luck I've had with mounts, I've had a terrible time in RL lately. So to make myself feel better, I got myself this:



And I do feel better.

A little!

*hugs* Pretty mounts for both of you

Congrats Ata on your mounts! Christ, that gear set you're wearing on your Mottled Drake looks amazing.

[Vephriel]

After 3 years of procrastination I have my Violet Proto-Drake. :3 I basically said 'screw that' the first year the achievement came out...then on the second year I just casually completed the easier ones. Finally this year I noticed how close I was so I finished the remaining. xD

[GormanGhaste]

After 3 years of procrastination I have my Violet Proto-Drake.

Congrats, I know you'll enjoy it!

[Atalanta]

Bit late posting this, but I was in no state at all to do it yesterday LOL. I was dying.



I burst out crying and stood there next to the boss for about 10 minutes before HS'ing to mount up on him. Oh, his name is Sadcor (Chaoyll <3 xD) as it was her and her boyfriends 2 year anniversary on the night I got it.

Still so happy and on a high from this. Karma has been kind to me!

[Samskeyti]

Finally... after two years? I got the last achievement from Yogg-Saron!



Much protodrake love.

I have been obsessed with Mazzranache ever since I started playing the game. It was the first pet I really, really wanted and so, on my Draenei hunter, at level 10, years ago, I ran all the way to Mulgore to tame myself a level 9 plainstrider. I've had that same plainstrider ever since.

A few years ago, when the Argent Tournament first came around, I found out about the Mulgore Hatchling. I knew that someday, I was going to get that pet, even if I wasn't sure how - and what happened but one of my best friends spent 2k gold, which was a big deal back then, to buy me my tiny Mazzy.

This year, I vaguely know that Love is in the Air is going on, but I didn't know that the Swift Lovebird was available until mere days before the end of the event. I wasn't sure how I was going to get all the tokens I needed thanks to my health. I didn't know if I was going to be able to devote the time to farming that I would need. But I pushed myself and pushed myself, but I finally did it. Today, did all my dailies and farmed up the last eight charm bracelets I needed.

Today, I have my three pink plainstriders. I feel like I've been working toward this since I first started playing WoW. I actually have cried over it, I'm so happy. My plainstriders! At last!

Just got this beauty this afternoon

[Lupis]

Logged on Rassaa after a long wait and decided to make myself a new Transmog set. After coming to a standstill while waiting for the shoulders I wanted to get on AH, I decided to run Kara again for old time's sake.



Hey, he matches my armor, sort of! (Oh, and his Haunter-hooves are awesome.)

[JezzebelPop]

Lupis it appears some of that fiery luck rubbed off on me!

I had began the yesterday in kind of a slump, two of the best people in the guild left and joined a raiding guild Their alts are still in the guild so it's not like we've lost them forever but I was still a bit upset about it. We lost our best tank and a damn good Shaman. We have been trying to get more active members but it's so difficult being only level 19 when there's already loads of level 25 raiding guilds set up and ready to take people. We had I think 6 active members plus a couple of others but they never replied to invites and such. Nice to have helpful members. Meh it's a social guild what can I expect.

Anyway I was running around Tol Barad Peninsula herbing, fishing and SLAUGHTERING AS MANY FOXES AS POSSIBLE since I was down on flasks, food and I want my friggin companion fox pet after months of doing the dailies, getting to exalted and obtaining both the mounts from the commendations and it STILL not dropping. -.-
I was swimming towards an Azshara's Veil when a DK invited me to a group and helped me run across the water using the icy path thing. A nice rarity someone who is willing to help just because they can! I told them they really didn't have to as I was just doing mundane things, they could leave whenever they wanted. But no, they stayed and helped me fish for eels and herb my water plants. I let them fish in all the shipwreck debris I came across and then they started asking about mounts. I helped them out with a few mounts like the Ice Mammoth and told them how to get the polar bear and they were pleased they now knew how to get them.

Eventually they went back to SW, I was very grateful for their help. They left and then went offline, still grouped up with me. I waited half an hour to see if they came back and was about to leave the group when I thought "Hey, perfect opportunity to convert and go run Karazhan!" So I converted to raid and went to one of my favourite raids to see if the mount and gun from the big bad wolf dropped.


I was soo happy I was dancing in my chair!! Ok the DK might have liked to come along but he was half an hour gone, I took my moment and won!


Until I got it I didn't realise it had massive fangs O.o

So yeah nice ending to a pretty meh beginning to the day. The gun didn't drop due to it being the 4TH WEEK IN A ROW of the Romeo and Juliet event >:@ it's almost as bad as trying to win loot on raid finder. On top of that I got to exalted with the violet eye. I've been running it so long without doing any of the quests I got to exalted. I know it's been well over 20 times I've killed Attumen, Still think I got lucky!

[Atalanta]

Hell yeah.

:>

[Meggers]

Oooh nice!

[Talaridan]

So many pretty mounts! I need some of that luck!

[Miacoda]

Lordy, I've been seeing a lot of people getting Attumen's Vampire Pony as of late! Maybe it's a sign!

[Snowy]

I do hope so as well. C:

Tonight, I managed to fish up my first Sea Turtle! AT LAST!
