![]() So this mount has special meaning for me. and it helped me get over my fear of PVP. My first few trips into the battle for Tol' Barad were pretty embarassing, but I did have some fun. But I really wanted the flying electric iguana, and just doing the dailies was taking forever, since at the time I needed gear from them too. I started PVPing just to acquire him - I was never into PVP, and I actually HATED it. My Drake of the West Wind popped up from my mount macro. I did the Skyguard rep grind back in BC while doing those ogre dailies for the potions used in Gruul's Lair, and I only ever bought two colors of rays. Strange to not have to do Sethekk anymore - this time I went to visit the Skyguard Quartermaster to finish off my Riding Ray collection. Yesterday I took another trip to Outlands. I tamed one and posted it on the old Petopia forums asking for help with a name. Here's one I found of Kalhoun when he was an orc named Ragabash! This was taken right after hyenas got their new posture. So I'll post some here now and then, because I like babbling. I know that has nothing to do with mounts, but I'm quite the shutter bug in game - I take A LOT of screenshots. I stumbled around for hours, staring at everything, exclaiming to my husband once every 10 minutes, "EVERYTHING IS SO PRETTY." I think I took it after upgrading my laptop, and so I could finally see all the pretty new effects in game. I was looking through my screenshots and found this picture. I like proto drakes, they're so derpy and cute (I have a funny sense of cute). Kalhoun on the other hand, got the mount on his very first egg (shortly after hitting 80, I think, right before Cata came out). On my old main, during Wrath, I opened eggs weekly for months and months and months trying to get this mount. Now that he pops up from my mount macro, I remember just how much I like him. ![]() I decided to put my Green Proto Drake in there since I hadn't used him on this character in ages. castrandom Raven Lord, Ultramarine Qiraji Battle Tank castrandom Sandstone Drake, Drake of the West Wind, Green Proto-Drake I made a mount macro that randomly chooses between my favorite mounts! Now I need a macro that will randomly pick one of these two whenever I mount up. I did SO MUCH archaeology over those few days that my hands were killing me by the time the mount popped. ![]() My last push to get it was over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. I worked so long and hard on archaeology to get it, but in the end, I was very lucky with my drop rate - it was my third Tol'vir rare, and my 42nd Tol'vir solve. My other favorite mount is the Ultramarine Qiraji Battle Tank. To me this mount looks like a feathered raptor, and being the dinosaur nut I am, this makes me very happy. I was getting very frustrated towards the end, because it seemed like I was seeing this mount everywhere - PVP, the Darkmoon Fair, raids, the achievement popping up in guild chat, in cities, etc. It took me countless runs to get it (I don't know the actual number, since I didn't know to kill the last boss until a few weeks ago), and boy am I sick of seeing the Boots of Righteous Fortitude. I finally got my Raven Lord during lunch this afternoon - I had gotten in the habit of logging in while eating and doing a Sethekk run, then logging out. My two favorite ground mounts just happen to be blue (which doesn't match my armor. Kalhoun's collection-Īll Human, Night Elf, Gnome, Dwarf and Draenei mounts I figured that I might as well record my collection, and have a place to talk about my triumphs and frustrations. The inspiration to start this thread was my finally looting the Reins of the Raven Lord - a mount I have been farming nearly daily for roughly six months (I don't have an accurate count, since I only started killing the last boss recently and I also took a nine month break from the game in the middle). My collection isn't as large or as complete as some of yours, but I'm pretty proud of the ones I do have! I will feature certain mounts I love, and take lots of screenshots. I'm not really trying for any achievements, but collecting mounts has become something I enjoy doing in game. I decided to make a thread on my mount collection progress.
