Oh that's pretty lucky! And you're better off soloing it really, other people can often make it a pain. Just need to be careful when it comes to the mind controlling.
... Not that any of that matters to you anymore since you got the mount! xD

Well, like I said, I'd have my pet as ferocity and he would just rip Kael'Thas apart. For my mage, I'd run in as Frost spec and dismiss my pet (if it didn't get killed by the mini bosses) before final phase. No pet means no MC.

But I'll take it! Finally exalted with August Celestials! Now when I go do the Klaxxi I'll get two mounts. The rep mount and the rep achievement mount @.@

I love the lightning <3 It's my favorite part. If I ever get the Thundering Cobalt one... I don't care that I'm a girl, I will jizz at the amazing blue with blue lightning (guess what my favorite color is...)

So Sylvia and I got to talking. Then killing. Took two days because we failed a couple of them (Fuck I Hate That Song...) with a DK friend of ours. :>

Also, my mounts began to breed.

All in all, good week!

I kept having that mount page bug for a while. o: Either that or they'd all jumble around randomly and I was like... Wut.
Congrats on those mounts though! I'm jelly of your Volcanic. o:

lol that's a hilarious mount page bug!

And congrates on the Volcanic drake - I loved getting him back in Cata and being able to fly him around, he was actually my first stone drake that I got, followed by the Sandstone, then Aeonaxx and lastly the Stonecore drake. He is still uber sexy XD

Gratz! You think it's possible to 2 man those chieves? Was gonna try with my partner (he plays a S Priest) to finish mine off :)

Thank you all <3 I love this drake. Hilariously, out of all of the mounts I have, flying around on my Volcanic has been the one getting people whispering me "Hey, where's that mount from?". People are so weird.

I would say most are except for I Hate This Song, which requires a tank and two others. Mostly because the best strategy we've found for that one is to have a Blood DK (the one who's not Sylvia in the picture) run through before the pull and get all of the snakes. Sylvia and I both dropped down to either side before the first Song and hit the levers asap and just let the Blood DK tank, DPS the boss, and heal himself without killing the snakes (very important, never kill the snakes!). Especially if your spriest isn't avert to throwing off heals. DPS heals are still pretty OP. :3 So make sure to ask another friend to just come hit the lever for you on that one. For everything else, we pretty much 3 manned it easily. Could be 2 manned, I'm sure, it would just require a bit more paying attention.

Do you know what the hardest boss achievements in Dragon Soul are?

Do you know what the easiest ones to get are?

Yeah, imagine getting all of the hard ones done back in Cataclysm, and only the four easy ones are left over because your raid group 1. Wanted to progress so didn't want to go back and run things once on normal. and 2. Fell apart due to Diablo III.

So there I was. Stuck. Without Taste the Rainbow, Ping Pong Champion, Minutes to Midnight, and Holding Hands.

...

Til today. :> Saw a pug forming on Cenarion Circle, came in on my Darrowmere hunter because the raid leader liked my attitude...

Me: Doing all the achievements? I'll come.
RL: We already have a hunter.
Me: I bet you don't have a hunter that doesn't give a shit about transmog gear and only wants the last four meta achievements for her mount.
RL: I like you already.

So he invited me, and the other hunter derp ditched anyway. Meh. Not my problem...

We got 6/8 HM doing all achieves (swapping to normal for Holding Hands and back to Heroic for the kill). But we got stuck on Spine and I had to bail because I didn't want to spend my entire evening on progression in DS (we were there for 3 and a half hours just getting the ones we did). So I feel bad. But I gotta take my days off very seriously or I won't get better (I've been sick for over a week...).

So with much patience, I finally have the only color of these drakes that tickles my fancy! And a nifty little screenie!

My only favorite parts are that I have the Mage District in the background to match the dragon's colors and the ruined clock tower which will be repaired in a few more weeks when 5.2 hits!

OOo grats!! I still need him too - I'm just 3 'normal' achievements away from him as well. Just need "Don't Stand So Close To Me", "Holding Hands" and "Deck Defender"

One day.... and then of course, I need to find a way to farm Ultraxion & Madness for those two mounts :/

I almost wonder if it would be possible to 3-5 man them both and just set up a 'mount hunters' group to do them every week or something.

I'm sure alot of petopians would be interested (myself included!) in a DS mount run! Ive always wanted my own Glyph Mount but never saw him drop all the time i progression raided DS (didnt get the maddness mount either even tho i saw it drop 3 times :/)

Gratz on the twiight harbringer! Ive always loved the alexstraza esk drakes but never got one! Very jelly and happy for you :)

Hmm... maybe I'll try organize something one day lol I notice most of us seem to be Alliance side? I do have an Alliance priest as well, so when she hits 90 (like, 2 bars away) and gear her up a bit I'll see if I can organize something for us. Would be good to have a mount-hunting group for those ones.

I'm the same - never seen Glyth drop at all during my progression raids. And seen 4 Blazing Drakes... never won a single roll :( Well I lied, I did, when a friend let me borrow his druid to heal a DS because he couldn't be bothered to do it - sure enough, it dropped, I rolled, won it. He didn't care for mounts, so I traded it to a fellow mount collector who was in the raid with me.

Wow xD Yeah. I'd offer to bring something along for runs... I want to finish my other mount runs sometime (FL, Glory of the Cata Raider, and Glory of the Pandaren Hero)... the only three I haven't gotten done yet! But my hunter's getting so geared now I'd just bring people down. Lol. 491 ilvl, I'm close to being able to solo Alystrazor (Youtube guides recommend 500+ ilvl).

In side news, I've bought a Traveler's Tundra Mammoth. I'm going to go get exalted with Sons of Hodir on my now abandoned mage to get the Ice and Grand Ice Mammoths. That should get me to 170! Unfortunately, I still like Ales (Twilight Harbinger) more so there's only a mention here. From a purchase I made on the 10th. I feel bad but I really don't like mammoths that much!
