The Great Mount Hunt!

Unread post by Krysteena »

As the title suggests, I'm now starting my 'Great Mount Hunt'. Basically, before the Xpac hits, I'm trying to get to 150 mounts. I'm sitting at 120, and need mounts to farm/are quick and easy to get. Several mounts will be received through rep grinding, which I hate (yes, I'm looking directly at the Heavenly Golden Cloud Serpent) and some drop through raids. Mounts I'm close to getting but need help with/a friend/require farming include
The red proto drake
The rustbound proto drake
The icebound Vanquisher
Volcanic Stone Drake (I haven't got any achevs for this, but is so pwetty :P )
The green proto drake
The blue proto drake
The azure drake
Slate Primordial Direhorn
Swift White Hawkstrider
Possibly the Crimson Cloud serpent? I'm not too good at dungeons and stuff, unless it's older content, unfortunately.
There's probably some more I need to get, but can't remember.
Rare mounts I have-
Amber and Jade Primordial Direhorns
Blue drake
Black drake
Bronze drake
Twilight drake
White Polar Bear (I thought you could get the blue proto from the bag, but the same day I was told it was only the white polar bear, it popped out)
So...it begins. I'll curse my existence, but a few pixels will be worth my RL sanity :mrgreen:
Anyone wanna join? I'm on Terenas server, EU and Horde-Side if you'd like to join. Perhaps you'd like the Blue Drake? Maybe you're able to help me farm the Warbringers, and need some colours too? Maybe you're also after the red proto drake? Or maybe you'd like a rustbound proto drake? I know I would. Or...if anyone is crazy enough, would they dare have a go at farming rep with me, for that fabulous Heavenly golden cloud serpent? Anyone in? Actually, are there any petopians on Terenas, Horde Side and EU? I've never seen anyone I recognise. I have the grand total of 1 friend on the server. My mother (long story short, my entire family are nerds) doesn't really count...she's not into much really and the guild is between three people. Record breaking, I know. Don't spaz out guys, I know it's hard to deal with. Three man guild. There should be an achev for that... :D
I'll probably post pics or whatever when I manage to get myself one of these on the list. I only need 3 achevs to get the red proto. I should only need 2, but the Zombiefest messed up in patch 5.4 and didn't want to work. They never gave me the achev, so I've got to try again. Actually, no, it would be 4 achievements needed. One randomly grew out of no-where and was complete. Or I was looking at the wrong one...and never needed it in the first place :oops: it happens a lot really

I've got some screenshots of my cloud serpents which should be able to be uploaded today and I should also have my red proto soon :D I only need one achievement, which is the Occulus one. I need to ride an amber drake, and then I'm done. So if I can find a group/someone willing to help me/someone who also needs some achievements then I'll upload due screenshots soon. Yes, I'll also upload some of my pets on the other thread, don't worry. I just need to find good places to put them all. When screenshots are done, do excuse my awful armour. I went raising the other day, and got some new gear. I'm not going to transmog until I've got a full set of decent gear. It wastes what lil gold I do have left

I should stop spamming my own thread, but the times are too far between. Plus, you guys don't want one huge wall of text. Anyway, screenshots!! The lil red proto is Rufus...he's a pain, often annoying everyone and everything. He tried to argue with a cupboard the other day :roll: silly thing. In one, he looks like he's whispering to Venebron (the twilight drake) to do something bad. Of course, Venebron wouldn't muck about. He loves Krysteena too much to throw her off, which is what I suspect Rufus was telling him to do. Lark is the Azure Cloud Serpent. Shade is my onyx one (who looks like he's trying to throw my hunter off. Mia the Flameward hippogryph is apparently teaching Rufus something. There's also a let poking out her wing...we'll ignore that for now :D

Mia is apparently expecting some food from Kaz'tik. She hasn't got it into her head that instead of her getting food, she'll be food, when Kaz'tik feeds her to Kovok instead...

EEEE!!! :D I went to the Occulus and Rufus wanted to join. I said no, but he followed anyway. During the fight with the Ley Guardian, Rufus was caught in a huge ball of magicky stuff and had dissapeared! So my hunter went outside thinking he'd been teleported put. Indeed he had, but met a new friend.

just another pic of Cinder. He's a lil like Rufus, but much calmer. He's also talking me into camping the TLPD and Aeonaxx. I gave up one morning on the TLPD after i camped several weeks. That morning i thought it'd be a great idea to go look at another spawn spot. I return, and there's a dead TLPD where i'd once stood. But not i have Cinder to keep me company, and my lil Scourged whelping i happened to find :mrgreen: (not forgetting Rufus of course, but he'll only complain :roll:
EDIT--A few more pics back home at Klaxxi'Vess ^.^

Cinder doesn't like this mantid much. Zer'ik doesn't like Cinder much either. Thing is, Cinder looks hungry.
It's behind me, isn't it?

Very hungry. Now Zer'ik looks scared too.

last one of Cinder, who's now ready to chomp off Zer'iks arm by the looks of things.

Just a lil post, as I haven't said much lately. I'm currently farming around 4/5 dungeons a day and 2/3 raids a week. Probably more of each, but I can't remember. Anyway, depending on if I get lucky I'll edit this post but I haven't got anything yet. I was thinking of getting some dungeon and raid achievement mounts so if anyone feels up to joining me that'd be great! If not, I'll look on open raid instead :D not much to say, but I'm about to try for my white hawkstrider now. *crosses fingers* also! I've being attempting to get the amani battle bear but I'm never quick enough. I've still got the white hawkstrider, Raven lord, amani battle bear, raptor and panther from ZG and the Vitreous stone drake to try for. I'll probably try all day Saturday for the Vitreous (it's my favourite mount) and then once I've got that move onto the deathchargers reins and the drake of the north wind. I might do some dailies for TB and try to get that flashy spectral wolf too :mrgreen:
EDIT__I got lucky :headbang: Decided to see if i got the Grand Black War Mammoth. Due to bad drops i highly doubted it. However, on Emalon the storm watcher, i was surprised to see the little icon for the mount come up. I finally got a really rare mount!

Only one screenie, but my direhorn has been named Emalon after the boss, for obvious reasons :D

someone else decided to join me on my adventures. Nightslash, as he's been named, wasn't even expected. I just ran ZG coz it didn't take long and i could get two mounts from one run. While slabhide hasn't dropped, this makes 2 new mounts in 2/3 days! wow! At first, i didn't really like this mount but now i see why it's so sought after :3 only 3 runs. I kinda feel bad for those who run ZG for weeks and don't see this :cry:

After some very bad luck with Hearthstone, I finally won 3 battles and got my shiny new hearthsteed. When I first saw it, I didn't like it as it had the same skeleton as the hippogryph which didn't suit a horses run. However, upon logging in and using this gorgeous mount, i realized how much the hippogryph skeleton suited it :D

He's rather photogenic, don't you agree? I did intend for this mount to be used when I leave for Draenor, and now i've got him he'll be paired with my soon to be new wolf pet (when Draenor hits) and the two will be fabulous! :lol:

Just a little update. I'll be trying for all silver Challenge modes for those Phoenix's (I heard you get all four when Draenor hits) so if anyone around here is interested in joining me that'd be wonderful! I'll probably being trying this all Weekend/mainly on Sunday but quite a bit of Friday too. Depends how much if my art project I get done :D
Edit--no mounts yet, but I am now trying for the pheonix'. I've got my eye on that Emerald one. Or that Violet. Or Ashen. Or Crimson :lol: they're all lovely. CM Silvers I've got are now
Gate of the setting sun
Mogu'shan Palace
Two down, seven to go. Only problem I had was the concept of not being let in as I haven't run the HC versions yet. I'll get to that tho, and then it'll be quicker for my group :D

Hasn't got a name or anything, but it quite a nice mount despite the horrendous run it's got. I then got enough rep for these two.

I'm now a little closer to my 150 mounts before Draenor hits :D
Edit--the camel run....oh my goodness it's awful! Plus the talbuk noise when you summon it. Bleh. It's got me up to 125 ish mounts, so it's okay. The Wolf, I decided, it to be called Paire. (Pa-ri) after my cocker spaniel named Paris. The two are both so stupid it's cute and ferocious when they want to be :lol:

Finally talked myself into buying an amber scorpion. The 8k put a dent in my money bags, but it's all worth it. Meet Shar'lan!

This scorpion is a rather dominant male and enjoys tormenting his mistress. However, they both know that he's very protective and won't allow any harm to come to her.

Shar'lan was originally a random scorpion in my fanfic, who enjoyed tormenting Kayro. He was aggressive, and thanks to Falconcrest, will play a slightly bigger role now. She quite liked his name and wanted to know if he's be appearing again. So, I thank Falconcrest for both helping me with my fanfic, thus giving Shar'lan a reason to appear again, and also for tempting me to buy Shar'lan in game. He's gorgeous! :D
