Lucky you Samskeyti, I am determined to find my own recipe as my main, my hunter is an alchemist. Grars on the bear, the Tallstrider and the Talbuk. I really want a Black Talbuk but have naff all tokens and there's barely anyone at Halaa to get them off of.
Thank you for the comments after my last post :3 made me smile
and Kraai I touched my monitor where your post is so hopefully some luck transferred.
Since my success with the North Wind and the Time lost drakes I've gained more champion seals and acquired the Argent Warhorse.
I myself bought the Darkmoon Dancing Bear :3 I adore it, it's my "go to" ground mount for the moment! I love her purple eyes the most
I do think the bear looks more feminine compared to my other bears, possibly because my other bears all have that armour stuff on them.
Will upload screen shots later, think they're on the other computer.
I also took advantage of Blizz's holiday sales and bought myself the Celestial Steed/Sparkle Pony for myself :3
Dunno why some dislike this mount, I think it's quite charming. Also yay flying horse with wings! Although the ends of the wings are a bit flappy =/ xD
After what seemed like a month and a half of constant Skadi kills I finally collect my Blue Proto Drake! This was a couple days ago now but i'm still thrilled with it!
Well... in the excitement I grabbed the reins before taking a screenie so uhh they're in the bag...
The reason i'm so damn happy about this is because with a droprate VERY close to the Raven Lord I thought it wouldn't take so long or be infuriating. I was wrong on both accounts although you could say i'm lucky to get it in that space of time anyway.
The first time I did the run I managed to beat Skadi and his minions with a bit of hassle but I could do it anyhow... Not the next 5 tries though. What had happened the first time around is that I had taken an elixir of agility or something good like that beforehand and forgotten. The next few tries failed because I couldn't deal with the adds, got frustrated and left it for a while.
I came back with a slightly better ilvl and lots of potions/flasks/elixirs and the process was long and annoying but I could do it. As I got more confident in dungeons my gear got better and therefore the Skadi encounter got a lot easier but the man would not dorp his drake no matter what! In the beginning when it was still difficult for me to run this boss fight it was very soul destroying because of the amount of concentration, difficulty and near death experiences I had to go through to beat him and then see the usual silver and a blue drop.
So encounter after encounter after encounter... Most of you here have been there either with a companion pet drop, mount drop or armour/weapon drops, you know it's annoying and rubbish when it just. Wont. Drop. I began to hate the encounters, i'd usually still have to use a fair bit of concentration and found it infuriating when on the way through UP I didn't make the small jump in order to avoid some mobs (in the raven's watch bit, running on the snow on the left) and usually died there. In the fight before I got to the ilvl I am at now I hated Skadi even more because his adds were hellish. When you think it's safe to go onto the next group you see the idiots running out from the side and down to meet you... then Grauf and his ice breath if you're not careful -.- It was such a hassle to time my heals and get my pet at the right place to get through the fight but it did get easier. Unfortunately by the time it became a cakewalk I hated the fight immensely.
On the day it dropped however I was in a foul mood for another reason. I have been running HoT dungeons for a while, like most of you I am sure. At this point I was only needing the boots, Windrunner's Bow and the Thornwood Staff to drop then i'll be content to just save up VP. I had run Well of Eternity. The Staff dropped. The FIRST EVER TIME I HAD SEEN IT. There were no druids or other hunters in the group so I was really happy to be there. Rolled Need of course. I noticed an unnaturally long time for the last person to roll but everyone else had went Greed which is normal and the decent thing to do.
I didn't get my staff. A warrior also rolled Need and ninja'd out right away after getting the highest number >:@ I have not seen the staff since then.
So enter Jezzebelpop in FOUL mode, I remembered I hadn't done Skadi yet so went in and rolled through, I was so mad nothing stood in my way... until i missed the jump again and died. Yay more bad mood.
But BUT it DROPPED The reins of the Blue Proto Drake xD!!! Totally made up for the staff in a million ways! XD xD XD xD
I also recently got into pvp which i though was never going to happen, but because of the xmas holiday achievements I had to enter a bg as an xmas gnome and get kills, this was highly fun so I keep going into bgs and do AWFULLY in them. Another revelation to me was the vendor which converts justice into honour points, I do more dungeons than BGs so i've taken full advantage of that and yesterday I purchased the Black War Tiger! Again pics will have to come later but that leaves me with only 4 more mounts to get for my Mountain of Mounts achievement!!
ty! Im not sure if Im getting the tallstrider next or the little cub companion... lol
