Mount Acomplishment Thread

[Sesamee]

Veph, that mount is gorgeous! I'm tempted to buy a card myself but I don't know how to track anyone down locally and $200 of real money is something I haven't quite been able to bring myself to do. I keep whistfully staring at the auctions though.

$100 is an amazing deal! People spend ten times that on shoes! Well, some people anyway, lol! This is a game we all spend a lot of time playing and we are invested in it. It's our hobby. People spending money on their hobbies is nothing new. If it's something you like and makes you happy I see no problem with it.

There's one on my server for 150k. I have plenty of gold even though I did just buy 2 sandstone drakes and a bunch of rare pets. Still I'm reluctant. I in game mailed the seller and tried to strike a deal with him last night. We'll see what happens!

Grats to everyone on their new shinies!

I haven't posted in a million years regarding my mounts, but I've acquired mounts I didn't think I would have been able to snag before Mists! Due to my awesome friends that bring me along for raids whenever they have a spot open, I got my Lifebinder's Handmaiden and my Pureblood Firehawk because they were able to get everyone on their raid team theirs, and had time to grab my friend and myself ours! We're now working on knocking out the last few achieves for the DS meta. I'm just over the moon because we ran those last few lockouts just for our mounts. Also snagged a TCG rocket for myself and a Mottled Drake for my fiance (he thought mine was awesome so I thought would be great to get him one since he got me the card for Xmas) off of the AH.

Thing that's awesome about account bound mounts? Instead of feeling compelled to just sit on and stare at my beautiful prizes and wasting time in town doing nothing, I can just use them on my Pally as I level her to 85

Oh, my, golly, gosh..... FINALLY!!!!

After an entire expansion of looking......

Literally the week before then next one is due (as it was teasing me, holding out to the last minute, knowing I really wanted it but just being evil)

And so.. so many... cruddy crumbly statues (/rageface!)

I finally manged to get my hands on a REAL one, and then proceeded to kicked Dormas's ass so hard he wont be sitting for the next week!

Hooray for Camels!

This rounds me off at a nice and even 170 mounts going into the next expansion.... (unless I fish me up that dam turtle, but I cant be that lucky... right... Right? )

[Magli]

Yes, this breaks my "only white and mechanical mounts" theme.

No, I don't care.

[Meggers]

Damn straight, best drake in the game. <3

After finishing my dailies this morning and ending up with THIS


I scoured the island until finally grabbing the last egg I needed. Yay!

[Snowy]

Guh those mounts are amazing. I wish the game had come out during the summer, uni has prevented me from playing much... I'm dying to get the cloud serpents and I'm only level 87! :/

[Bonita]

Hit Exalted with Golden Lotus today.
I love cranes so much!

[Wain]

Well, I don't normally post these kinds of things, but I had reason to today.

For some time now Spiritbinder and I have been running Maly, Ony and Kael'thas weekly to try for their mounts. With no luck at all.

Then 2 weeks ago, the Azure Drake drops for SB. Finally, a break!

This week SB was busy so at the last minute I ran Maly with another friend (who already has it). It drops again! So now I have one too! Unbelievable. I am over the moon! But then...

SB logs on after all. So we do Kael. My god, the Ashes drop. I win them. Same night. Actually, by "win" I mean I hit greed and I'm pretty sure SB very generously passed. That bastard.

I cannot believe my luck

And for all this I have Spiritbinder to thank. He's the one that got me motivated to start running these and is the one who worked out the strategies for two-manning them. Hell, I'm sure if he wanted he could be soloing them now without me (my shammy isn't quite up to that yet) but he hasn't. So thanks Mister

The phoenix looks like it was made for MoP, by the way. It looks gorgeous in VEB.

Fixed that for you, what goes around....


A Massive CONGRATULATIONS and YAY well deserved.

[Ziarre]

Grats you two!

[Neilaren]

Wow exciting mounts news in here! Big grats to all!

Been getting exalted with lots of things lately. In the past week I've got my Cranes, Goats, but my favorite right now is the Anglers Azure Water Strider with its ADORABLE /mountspecial:



Poor thing just wants to be as tall as Pittypat!

Also got my Klaxxi Amber Scorpid today.



A picture of mount and baby scorpid! I'm still trying to think of a name for the amber darling. Her name was "Kyp" on beta but I'm not sure if that's a keeper.

God I love that pic. It really does look like he's pretending to be a spore walker

[Bristlenose]

I think the Water Strider is my new favorite mount. I'm still working on the Crane, Scorpid and August Celestial Dragon, already have an Azure one and my hunter will be getting the Jade and my DK or Monk the third one.

[Sophistique]

4 x JC Panther mounts - check!

Now to get the mats together to make them all over again for the Jeweled Version O.o

[Falcon]

She's had him for a few days, so this is kinda late. My best friend helped me buy a ruby panther off the AH after the Horseman refused to give me his damn mount AGAIN this year. Meet Hallowed, named after the title from the in-game holiday and my freedom from the evils of the Horseman. I absolutely adore this cat, and now I don't care if the horse ever drops for me or not now.

A little while ago I decided to go and try to solo Kael'thas on my Death Knight. I had killed him a handful of times before with guildies or with pugs, but never on my then level 88 death knight. I have been farming Malygos and Onyxia on-and-off for their drakes and had the intention of running Tempest Keep weekly as well.

The solo'ing went fine and then I looted the boss.



The Ashes of Al'ar dropped the very first time I ran him on my Death Knight. It's a gorgeous mount and I'm so very happy about it

[Lupis]

Daaamn, nice, Taiji! I am officially jealous, I just started farming that place.

Serendipity, Moonlost and I have started running OS 3D weekly to get us all mounts. Last week we did OS10 and I walked out with a gorgeous black drake.



This week we did OS25, which was… painful. We died. A lot. But we killed, after about eight wipes. I can't thank those two enough for sticking around and dealing with the repair costs.



Let's hope Ony, Maly and KT are nice!

[Taiji]

Thanks Lupis! Congrats on the OS drakes as well. Three-manning Sarth25 with three drakes up sounds like a real pain.

I mentioned running Malygos on-and-off in my post about Al'ar. While two-manning with Vasken I got the Azure Drake, and later I two-manned it with my boyfriend for the blue drake. Today was the reset so we went to the frozen wastes again.



Yes. He dropped both drakes. What are the odds of that! I got the blue drake and my boyfriend got the azure one.



Here are both of us on our new drakes!

[Snowy]

Taiji you are one lucky mofo. Gief some of your luck!
