Old Epic Mounts?

Unread post by Acherontia »

Anyone in the Classic beta know whether the old Classic epic mounts will be available?

They were in Vanilla until 1.14 (unarmored--ex. black panther, white stallion, white wolf) before being replaced by the armored epic mounts, so if we're at 1.12 content-wise I assume they'll never be obtainable on Classic servers. But other people are saying that a lot of the content is very early Vanilla and only the class balance is 1.12-levels. I'd like to double-check. I've always wanted that arctic wolf mount!

The accounts for Classic/current won't be linked at all, I think. Nothing you get on Classic will carry over afaik. I don't mind THAT so much; I was just looking forward to getting the old epic mounts, until I realized that they may not be in the game at all!

Unfortunately it doesn't sound like they will be. :(

Also, slightly unrelated, but the one thing that will carry over to Classic from your main game is if you had the Vanilla CE with the 3 minipets, you'll get those pets in Classic as well, but that's all.

Okay, thanks for the answer! Good to see a proper source.

Hype for ye olde arctic wolf was the main reason I was going to go back--the thing I wanted more than anything else (and still do, lol) in WoW. I was planning to do a Frostwolf orc with matching pet--oh well, guess I will stick to BfA!

Nope, they're completely separate games.

The old epic mounts were removed in patch 1.4. I know while the class balance is based on 1.12, they confirmed the original epic mounts won't be in Classic. I can't find the original interview, but devs confirmed the original epic mounts will not be available for purchase in Classic WoW. They said something similar to they didn't want players to feel "rushed" to get the mounts.
