Mount Acomplishment Thread

[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.

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!

^^ Best mount for all mount-rideable-dungeons XD Have fun with him!

Have I been slow or what, I've been doing my dailies without realizing that I could've used the thing that doubles your rep... *facepalms*

Grats! And... oh... right... that.

Earlier today I finally got my Alani! I was sitting on 5 shards for awhile now, and once I hit ambassador with Pandaria I kinda stopped doing pretty much anything except pet battles. Recently, I was like, OK, this is stupid, I've been running around with half the shards I need for the mount, why am I wasting time?! I put pet battles completely to a stop, no dailies, nada, and parked myself for a focused grind, only doing my farm stuff, checking the BMAH, Golden Lotus dailies, and many, many hours of mob grinding. One shard first night, 2 almost in a row the next session earlier in the day, but nothing at night, nothing the next day/night, and then two pretty much in a row today.

Just a note- out of ALL the dailies I did with GL, NEVER got a shard from the treasures of the vale. All my shards were pretty much lucky RNG while doing dailies, or gotten from purposeful mob grinding.

So I finally got my pretty baby that I should have had a long time ago... but... yeh! I got her! Yay!

While it wasn't Azure, my all time must have flying mount, I did just get the Blue Drake from EoE. So I'm 1/5 on soloing EoE. I really need to get my other Hunter to 90 so I have have three characters to solo it on each week.

Going to go make the boyfriend's cookies now. Just wanted to run through EoE on my main real fast to see what I got. Will run through the rest later tonight.

Good luck! So far, we've had two Azures drop and no Blues! >.< Luckily, me and my boyfriend two-man it, so we've both got one now, so at least they went to homes.

Had a hunch to go into the eye last while I do every other raid I usually do and I did not believe my eyes when ashes of alar dropped, gotta love hunches haha

No image though because this is my iPad not comp(nvm I could save my gmail photo to here heh) but man am I happy as ever, this mount has been around forever and only just now have I finally got it woohoo!

[Finduilas]

I made it. I finally got over my lazyness to farm the last needed 12k rep for exalted with skyguard. I pulled it today in about 2 hours and finally have 5 mounts more on my way to 150.

[Snowy]

Well done Finny. :3 Skyguard is one irritating grind.

[Finduilas]

Thank you I'm really glad I don't have to return there. But it was also worth it. Only 9 more mounts for 150.

[cowmuflage]

I just fished up the seaturtle mount! So happy right now.

[Sophistique]

Woo grats on the turtle!! Such an awesome surprise when you see him turn up in the loot window XD

[Silivren]

Congratulations! Just cause it isn't impressive to some people doesn't mean it shouldn't be impressive to you! Consider it like a milestone to the next achievement too. (;

[cowmuflage]

Oh yeah I got my first Cloud serpent yesterday too. Guess as a Xmas eve pressie or something (Seeing as it's xmas day today)

After years of patiently waiting, two manning, losing the green one, 200+ kills and eventually learning how to solo the blood lord…the zg raptor is mine!!!
