Aaah, congrats on the phoenixes, you guys! That's a heck of an achievement.

Gratz with all the phoenixes!

Just wanted to say a huge thanks to Moila for helping me getting into her guild and being able to grind rep for these two beautiful fellows!:D Sorry it's not the best screenshot around but I wanted to capture the lightning effects!^^;
Anyways thanks a ton, it meant a lot to me that you were willing to help me out!=) If you ever need help with something ask away, might be able to lend a hand in game!=)

Off-topic: Do I really have to dig out my old photobucket account to get the pic to show?!

Oh Gratz! Very nice mount. I'll be trying to see if my guild wants to try and get this one ^_^ Draenor comes around, it should be much easier. Yes. Very nice mount indeed!

[Täräin13]

Thanks! ^^ well I had some fear it might go away or something... kinda paranoid as it is a CM related Mount!XD well atm you get scaled for the dungeons... don't you still get scaled in the old MOP sm dungeons in WOD or? Tbh I haven't really read that much about CM in WOD. Just know I gotta do it Again for the Yeti! XD
Anyways gl to you and your guildies with getting it! It's awesome! and tbh I like it more than the other thundering serpent mounts... Not that they aren't cool as well! =) and I have to admit Alani ties with this guy!

Thanks ^_^ I'm glad I decided to put myself out there and complete the CM's (I normally stay well away from group activities) and you won't believe how many times I died for simple mechanics >.< but I have the excuse of I hadn't run those last dungeons in a longer time than the others. I'd never even used the bone armour on that one boss. Scholomance was nasty.

Ew we get yetis for the CM mounts? Why do I want to ride an overgrown monkey? Ugh. I'll get around to those CM's, but I much prefer pretty Phoenix's to giant monkeys 0_0

I found a nice group to finish my last two Firelands Achievments and am now proud owner of the corrupted Firehawk



he's very pretty from above

[Krysteena]

Gratz Fin he's gorgeous! The purple one is way nicer than the orange one

Side note-- one is one mount from 150 mounts. One needs a mount that means something to be ones special mount. But which one? I'm all dried out now. However, I am missing several AT ones. Ahh...I don't wanna go jousting! I did get my pandaren kite, for getting exalted with the anglers and all the other factions for Pandaria. Just...water strider...you're such an expensive bug!

[Castile]

Gratz fin! I'm trying to two man most of those - not sure if i can handle the heroic bit tho!

[Finduilas]

Thank you both.

Castile, I was using the O-Queue addon to find groups. At first I joined the FL HC groups and took achievs that came along (like the Ambi-Turner-one). And once I found an achiev group I could join. After this one I was just missing "Do a barrel roll" and the "Kneel to the flame" achiev. By chance I found a group on my rather dead server today that wanted to do the kneel to the flame achiev. And we had so much dps the barrel roll just happened Took me just around 4 weeks for every achievment, and I can only play on weekends.

And Kayro, if you need help with getting a mount, feel free to ask! I'll try to help as much as I can!

[Lampray]

It took me 259 kills but I got my vortex pinnacle mount. So glad to never go there again. x_x

[Krysteena]

Congrats lampray! I'm still yet to farm for that one. I'm still trying for the vitreous, but I've slowed down on that one. 0.9% drop rate???yet I get the Zulian panther within 6 runs. Goodness...

Thanks Fin! Depending on if my ghost iron ore sold, I'll be getting that azure water strider today and thus hitting 150 mounts. Just wish it wasn't a kite that we get...the mount special is pretty cool tho. I'm still trying to take back Wintergrasp, and I was thing about seeing if people were up for the "For the Horde" achievement. Knowing my guild, it'll be easier to do. If you're online, you could join us if you'd like

Edit--got my azure water strider today! Was actually 3.5k than the 4.8k I thought it was gonna be. Then I ran TB and won. I decided to try WG and won too ^_^ that's 151 mounts on my hunter and 152 on my DK. I was determined to not go to my DK at 149 mounts to cause her unique mount to get me to 150. I did it! I got to 150 mounts before Draenor! I'll get Krys some better gear and then focus on my shammy from now on!

[Lupis]

Congrats, guys! Lampray, that sounds awful- I'm so glad it only took me 70-some runs to get that guy. x.x

It's not a huge achievement, but I /finally/ got my Twilight Harbinger. I'm slowly getting on my way to having all the Cata/WotLK meta mounts!

[cowmuflage]

You still using Openraid Lupis? I should be getting the Iron proto today. That is if I get invited to today. I'm always marked as reserve

Like yesterday I missed out on two silver runs haha

[Lupis]

Yup, I am! I hope you get that Iron Proto, that's a fun mount.

Silver CM runs are tricky to get into, they can be so full so quickly. x.x

[cowmuflage]

I forgot to say grats before Lupis so grats!

I'll get my mount next week. WoW is not even working right now >.>

Wow I'm in love with that screenshot...how long did it take you to get the harbringer? I reckon some guildies would be interested in joining me ^_^ I love that model so much. I prefer the blazing drake but to have any would be lovely!

[Krysteena]

*grumble grumble grumble* My computer is so old that is actually won't load google chrome...how bloody frustrating is that?! It still runs wow! Right before Draenor gets here too. Now how am I supposed to document my cool pets and stuff?! I had an entire story planned out! Fuuuuu....dge sticks. One shall not curse. Anywho...
Took all day to find someone, honestly. I was so surprised. I'm so glad I got this beauty. The iron bound one is nicer, but I don't wanna do that iron dwarf, medium rare one again for a long time. It took us ages and Razorscale actually enraged. Either way, we've both got our sexy rustbound protos. Man I'm so glad I joined this guild when I did ^_^
Edit---removed crappy picture from this post. New screenies are in a new post down below...somewhere Was a rustbound proto, for those who didn't see the original post.

Thank you! I like taking over-dramatic screenshots. And hmm- it took me about... eight runs? Nine? Technically, I got every achievement except Chromatic Champion in one run by using Openraid, because there are some absolutely wonderful groups there (I suggest Shadowskunk's runs). Then I had to get Chromatic Champion, which took a ton of time- everyone in the group always ends up needing different platforms. With only a few people, though, and the same people each time, it would probably only take four Dragon Soul clears! One would need to be on Heroic, the rest could be normal.

However, if you decide to do all the achievements with a small group, you WILL need a full group for the achievement "Holding Hands". It cannot be done with less than 10 people.

[Krysteena]

Ahh okay. Thanks Lupis! I'll have to try it sometimes. Then again...I've never raiding DS or the spine of deathwing. I'll have to clear up on some tactics first I reckon. I'll have to check out his runs. Thank you, again!

Now. I wonder if I could find some guildies who'd want to run Ulduar 25man? If you do it right, you can get all achievements in one run, so perhaps on Saturday? I could set a date on the calendar...or can I not do that yet? I'll have to Check.
