Shadow's Mount Scroll (Jeweled Onyx Panther) [182]

[Snowy]

o.o I... would really like to know how you earned enough gold for all those mounts... I'm struggling just to save for the Vial of the Sands at the moment. :/

[Shadow]

I came into ownership of a Spectral Tiger card after years and years of wanting one. I kept the epic for myself and gave the blue to a friend for payments of 20k a month or so for 10 months. He couldn't pay it back cause he's a gambler, but hilariously, his cousin came into a Tiger card as well and gave it to him for free. xD So he learned the Epic and gave the blue back to me. It was like "Thanks for loaning it to me!" So I sold the blue on the AH in a matter of hours for 250k, which is piss cheap but I'm moving my main soon and I wanted to spoil my bf before the move. :3 I could probably get another mount or two, I have about 150k left from buying 2 vials, a hog, and a Deathcharger.

I think the green hippogryphs go for like... 75k but I'm saving cause I've NEVER had this much gold before. I want to keep adding to my stock pile. Plus my bf spazzed out and said he wanted to spoil me rotten (he's in a fit of bad luck as far as jobs go so he can't do it right now) as soon as he can. So maybe I'll try to save for a chance at there being a BMAH Zulian Tiger (Oooh how I want one Dx). And pray that it doesn't get sold for 999k gold bids for... years. xD

But before that, I got a hog for myself for Christmas, I earned up enough to start my rogue's dagger quest, then I earned... enough to buy a Deathcharger for myself and my 310% flying on my hunter. I had about 7.5k left over from that, but for the rogue, I just sold cloth and whatever I found, including gems. For the Deathcharger and 310% flying, I just sold all of the raid mats and shit I have cluttering my back in the last month of the expansion. I think I earned well over 20k gold just emptying all of my toons. I'm a serious, serious hoarder of anything I find useful, including food items (cooked and raw), cloth, greens, enchanting mats, gems, ore, anything I can get my hands on. So, you too can be rich if you're a hoarder like me!

[Shadow]

No new news on TLPD, I've given up that front for now. On Loque's behalf, I feel horrible because he's now been killed twice in a row :/ Thank you CRZs. But in better news, my Ally huntard got high roll on a Twilight Drake, the one I've been trying to get for so long! Thank you lucky 95 and welcome mount number 120!

[Shadow]

Hit 90 a few days ago, and still gearing up. Every morning for the past three days I've taken a few hours out of my time to run myself and my boyfriend through heroic and regular instances for Cenarion Expedition rep. Perhaps about 6 hours worth of work later...

I also bought some Alliance Grypons, but they're not as pretty. And my boyfriend was certainly stoked. He's loving his new mount (and his druid isn't even 71, either!).

[Blaix]

So! Due to a recent high profile sale, I came into a lot of gold. For myself, I bought a Vial of the Sands finally...

And had enough left over to spoil my soul mate a little with things he's been wanting. His first reaction was "Jeeze babe!"

I then took him out for flying lessons. First off: Hold your lunch and hold on tight, because I learned how to fly upside down. Not that you can tell very easily at first glance. It's hard to screenshot and fly.

So, of course, after he taught himself his own Vials, he had to practice, too!

:3 I have such warm fuzzies right now.

Can I just say I adore you for sharing the wealth? That must have been an awesome present(s) to receive and I hope you really did get a good feeling out of giving a gift like that to someone... many kudos to you.

[Shadow]

Aw, thanks. :3 I also gave another friend a Crimson Deathcharger. xD I'm so weird. Unfortunately, I've swapped to my Allies, so my poor bike didn't make it over Gotta figure out how to make gold on Ally side, cause my golds got left behind, too.

[Shadow]

Finally! I got it! I didn't farm eggs or anything, I just picked up dailies about two or three days after hitting 90. And here are two of the three Cloud Serpents! Due to my laziness with dailies (I skipped out on Golden Lotus for three days in a row... Hurr, I hate them), I'm left with only a hundred gold after buying the Blue and Golden. And I'm a day or two out of exalted with The Tillers as well... I'm going to be doing dailies for gold and nothing else at this rate! But that's okay... I've got about 700 gold after doing Golden Lotus, so I'm alright. I just have to buy my mounts very... very slowly!

I just realized that the golden dragon is like the palamino of dragons! It's so cute! That and when I was sitting there thinking to myself, "I can buy a second one. Which one should I buy? The green one?" I looked back to the dragons around the Quartermaster. "Hm. Or the Gold one..." just as I thought that, a rare spawned 20 yards away. I killed it and bought the Golden one. I can take a sign!

[Shadow]

Oh jeeze. This is all out of date. xD I've just been doing so many damn things.

As a quick update, I've bought my Jade Serpent. I've reached exalted with the Tillers and gotten all of the goats. And! The most EXCITING NEWS! Faction transferring now properly awards the mounts that you owned on the other faction! I now have my Tol Barad mounts, my PvP mounts, mounts from other factions I'm not yet exalted with, aaaand.

I got my bike back :3

[Shadow]

Oh. My. GOD. xD

[GormanGhaste]

Oh. My. GOD. xD

Somehow, I didn't find out that was the /mountspecial until I ran into a friend with one at yesterday's Wanderer's Festival I'm still just revered.

[Shadow]

Well, I just now hit exalted. :3 Human racials and Halloween buff ftw. But it is the derpiest, cutest thing I've seen!

[Shadow]

So. The story is that last year, in the middle of October, my boyfriend wasn't my boyfriend. He was a friend who I had come to enjoy, appreciate... A man who listened to my troubles, made me feel like everything's alright, someone I could be close to and not be afraid of being hurt. And I know pain. Relationships haven't always been kind to me, and not all of those were mistakes knowingly made on my part. It's inevitable, pain with love. But this man couldn't hurt me if he wanted.

We ended up acting like we were dating without anyone saying "hey, want to...". And it felt natural. A slow progression which ended up with us going "Wait, are we...?". Because of that, we have no idea which day is our true anniversary. When we started acting as if we were, or the day we looked back on it and went "Hey...". It was honestly the most romantic thing, not being asked upfront, but just letting things be naturally and letting everything fall into place.

And, a few months after, we realized that we really hadn't a damn clue what our anniversary date was. And, after some thinking, I picked October 21st, somewhere in the middle of all of it. And days before this year, my boyfriend asked me what card I wanted. He was considering getting me a Fel Drake, they're just so pretty. But, being new, their prices are so inflated! I told him I'd smack him for wasting that much money on a flavor of the month card. Maybe next year.

And so we talked about the hippogryphs. Out of those cards, we both have a favorite. The Corrupted Hippogryph. So...

EEEE!

[Royi]

congrats! I really like this mount journal (hence why i'm posting on here so i can follow it)

Happy story about your Bike and your BF / Corrupted Hippo

[Shadow]

Aw. xD Thanks! I'm sorry I haven't been updating very often. @.@ So much to do.

[Shadow]

And Vyratrollsa (yay I made a name) strikes again. Fffffff.

What's my count again?

Vyra: 18
TLPD: 3
Mount: 0

[Meggers]

D: at least you have a shiney hippo to love in the meantime <3

[Shadow]

Mhm :3 And love it, I do!

[Sophistique]

Oh TLPD... what a hunt that was for me. He was the heart-breaker of heart-breakers for me. Found him dead more times than I can count, even had him tagged when I found him once, but in my excitement/nervousness, I had thrown a dot on him, and then hit my Volcanic potion instead of Slow Fall Lager, and wasn't quick enough to hit levitate in between it all because my hands were shaking so much.

But I did find him, he actually ended up spawning right on top of me He'll come to you XD

Best of luck with the hunt!

[Shadow]

Ouch... I'm hunting on my mage now. So I should be fine if I can just get into range. Ice Lance, Slow Fall, Ice Lance Ice Lance Ice Lance... Sorry that happened, though :/

Well. Vyratrollsa 19 gave me a heart attack. I was right in the middle of making a synopsis for the book I'm using NaNoWriMo to get a head start on making...

I killed her. In celebration of being left shaken because I didn't think she would even spawn, I'll share this...

A young woman born into a world of magic finds herself in the heart of the conflict between two nations on the brink of war. That is, after she finds herself surrounded by demons. And not just any demons. These bad boys are the kind who will drink a human's life energy like a fine wine and eat their body for their daily bread. But before that, she is possessed by one of these horrible creatures, an exiled beast named Ve who fights her for control of her very existence every step of the way. And before that, she meets a middle-aged man who happens to be hunting for Ve, harboring deep secrets of the royal family and set upon exterminating the beast. And, before it all began a bomb explodes on her house, leaving her with nowhere to return.

What a strange fortune.

Aaah Trollagosa. How I DON'T miss you. I'll toss some luck your way! Not sure how much I have right now but... have some anyways! *Tosses*
