Mount Acomplishment Thread

I feel like I can die happy, I have my beloved Onyx Cloud Serpent at last. <3

When our guild wipes against the dreaded Attendance Boss on raid nights, we take out not-quite-full group and do old raids to finish up people's missing achievements and things.
Last week and this week we hit up Firelands to finish the Glory of the Firelands meta for (MOST OF) us, and also finished a guildie's Wrath of Tarecgosa (Which makes it Hit it with a Brick's second Wrathystaff!) She's been waiting all summer to get the last couple of whatevers to just finish the thing.

The guildie in question was prepared to look her best for the big moment... Birthday suit! The model was doing some crazy shimmying on the dragon too, it was very giggleworthy.



But yeah, Corrupted Firehawk get! For future old-stuff runs we probably will do more Firelands for whoever still needs it and also get the old Glory of Cataclysm Raider done (BWL and BoT heroic versions are what we mostly have left of it) and Dragon Soul heroics too!

So there was the Vitreous Stone Drake on the Black Market, and I bid on it just for laughs, and because I had a lot of gold to spare. Sure I know it's super easy to just farm for free, but then again.. What else would I spend that gold on? ;) Plus I'm so sick of the place, I'd gladly pay my way out of having to go there again.

[Meggers]

Nice! How much did you have to shell out?

[Golden]

60k. I honestly didn't mean to go that high, but the moment I saw someone outbid me, I kind of spazzed out and bid again before I had the chance to think about it properly... <_<' The rest of the time I spent just kind of hoping someone would outbid me again, but alas, it completed and I won. What's done is done, and I'm not going to ruin this by overthinking, instead I'm just going to be glad that I never have to set a foot in that instance again.

[Meggers]

Well the peace of mind I'm sure is worth it.

I just got Aeonaxx a few days ago, and still ecstatic about it. (Funnily enough I posted in the magic luck thread only a few hours earlier.. What a coincidence.)



Such a pretty boy, and all the more special considering how difficult he was being. He spawned three times before I finally managed to snag him.

[Golden]

Finally got the Black Drake. <3 I always did prefer this one to the Twilight one. Love you Sonnie for the help, gonna do it again next week so you get yours!

[Golden]

WHAT
WHAAAAAT


Excuse me while I go shriek over there. *>>*

[Lupis]

Ahhh, grats, Golden!! That's some serious luck! I am very jealous indeed.

[Meggers]

Pffff grats!

[Snowy]

djsnfjsdf GIEF ME YOUR LUCK.

[Vephriel]

Congrats on the gorgeous mount Golden!

[Sophistique]

WHAT
WHAAAAAT

ZOMG GRATS!! One of my two grails right there... man...

I *dream* of the day I see that loot list right there... oh... *wistful sigh* come on Ony... soon, please?

[Lupis]

*Sigh*… I swear I had self restraint once, I really did.

This guy has been on the AH for months now, gradually falling in price. He finally reached under 25k today. That's most of my gold. But I swear to the Light, this thing was haunting me. I checked AH every day to look at his price. It's nice not to have to worry… He's mine now.

[cowmuflage]

Grats Lupis! Such a pretty mount!

[Lupen202]

Finally got the polar bear to drop <3 Not as amazing as some of the mounts you all have gotten, nor is it my most sought after, but very happy to have seen it finally drop nonetheless

[Lupis]

I'm posting a lot here it seems.

Anyway, I finally got a mount I've been aching to get for two expansions. Huge thanks to my friends for helping me get the last achievement. ^.^



That's 147…

[Varethyn]

Normally my guild raids on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, but likely due to the Christmas rush too many people failed to show up to last night's run (Read: 6). So we decided to go finish off the Glory of the Firelands Raider achievement for me as I only had one part of Do A Barrel Roll! left (the fiery vortexes part). Not a fun achievement to finish, even at level 90 xD However we managed it in the end by running out through the firewall gate when the vortexes began and uber-healed our way to victory.



But that's not all! Lookie what else dropped when we decided to clear the instance for the hell of it, and after only FOUR Raggy kills! And to think I'd been bored and wishing the run would end so that I could finish my dailies before logging for the night.


Soooo happy

...Oh, and those guys got their purple hawks, too.


I'm now sitting pretty at 175 mounts 178 if you include Kithren's pally horses.

[Snowy]

I posted it in my own thread but I have to post it here too, I'm just that happy at the moment.



After 119 kills, it finally dropped. Has anyone else ever had that experience where, after you've killed the boss, looting it seems to take a split second longer than normal if it's holding a mount? That happened here. For an extra millisecond... I knew the mount had dropped before I even saw it. And then when I saw *two* purple drops instead of the normal one which seems to trick me into thinking it's the mount, I knew what had happened. I screamed in delight before I even read the text and knew for sure what it was!

God, it really felt like forever though. I felt like I was doing something wrong, that the mount would never actually drop for me. But alas... there he is.

And what a beautiful mount. I wanted to go do Netherwing dailies after my run but I can't get myself off this mount!
