Grand Expedition Yak

OK so we knew this was coming, but for information's sake (and because I'm rich on beta)...

Just some notes:

-No animation when you press jump while standing still
-The jump while running doesnt appear to be animated
-The entire mount is animated except for you and the umbrella. Those stay static in one place while the rest of the mount animates during movement.

-When dismounting, Mystic Birdhat says
"Your yak is in another stable."
"Those yaungol have straight swords. Straight. Swords"
"Shine and rise."
"It is not my intention to initiate legislation against you."
"Yak. Yak never changes."
"I am yak rider. And this is my yak."
"Got some rye?"
"Oh woe. Low. Low."
"I feel like I lost an eighth of something."

-When dismounting, Cousin Slowhands says
"Two theories when arguing with yak. Neither one works."
"Ten years. I have faithfully brushed yak for ten years."
"I was going to have a party and invite Mystic Birdhat, but you dismissed him."
"Is it dangerous to go alone?"
"Put more stuff in the thing more stuff goes in."
"You could die of dysentery out here."
"Would you kindly show me the way back to Kunlai?"
"I'll update my journal"

I am pretty sure they could say more, but I only had time to summon/dismiss them ~30 times -_-

I've already got the 60k, and intend to *keep* that 60k! I am *so* getting this big fellow! But a question: what is the NPC seller's group? Can we get discounts? Because if so, I'll totally grind to Exalted and use that + Guild Discount and get it for... what, 40k?

I'm guessing there won't be a reforger in Pandaland then. You might be able to make some coin summoning your mount for people.

I wonder if the armor designers are annoyed at a portable reforger? Perhaps that's why we are blessed with the hunter T14.

Siiiigh. I purchased a yak and only got to enjoy it for a little while before a DC came along and randomly replaced it with a Travelers Tundra Mammoth. :(

Here's the real question... are they account-wide?

I believe it should be but the BOA mounts arent perfectly implemented yet on beta. I started with ~130 account wide and now im down to 17, and not all characters have those 17 still. This one hasnt went across characters.

Not at the moment. Neither is the mammoth - and while the mammoth differs between factions, not even the same faction alts share it right now.

I'm going to get this. I like how the shops are not the same as the mammoth means I have a use for both.

Is it just me or does the poor Yak look a little over burdened with all the stuff strapped on to it?

I'm actually tempted to buy this if it remains account wide, xD

That mount is worth it for the references alone.
