Mount-ing Resources

-
So co-worker/guildies have started looking getting a group together for collecting some of the mounts that appear all over Draenor.

Pathrunner, Silthide, Nakk, Luk'hok, Gorok, Nok-Karosh, Poundfist

Being horde, we all plan next time we meet to go for Garn Nighthowl from Nok-Karosh (aka an Alliance mountable wolf), but what I really want is the gronnling from Poundfist. Poundfist is a bit more difficult because he's on a bit of a 'random' timer. According to comments on WowHead, he can spawn anywhere from 30-90 hours after server reboots. In the comments, they link to a document posted on Google Docs that breaks down last spawn.  Of course, the doc is only as good, as people reporting it. No one on Malfurion/Trollbane appear to be reporting.. Hmm, I see a great use of the 6.1 selfie camera!

Not long after that, a link was shared on twitter to a link to a mount planner. This nifty website provides a 'plan' for getting all the legacy mounts. Checking my account, I see that I have a LOT of work to do in order to complete my remaining 239 mounts (yeah, I only have 91 mounts). Checking out this site, I noticed there are a couple low-hanging fruit, for example, Amani Battle Bear from achievement Bear-ly Made It  and  Twilight Drake from 3-drake OS at 100 should be a cake-walk. Lastly, the 'bug' mounts from AQ (ruins/temple) are tempting.. 10% drop rate is a lot more promising than most of the others at 0.5% to 1% rate. (hmm, plus 2 more achievements from running these classic raids).


Here's to hoping by the end of the month, this account has 100 mounts (at least!).

    I took a look at the mount planner and as funny as it sounds, I do it exactly as it says. For me it only lists a couple of mounts as I have a lot of them, but it lists them just as I do them. Thought that was kind of wild.

    Thanks for sharing such a great resource.

Bee Math

So you've finally realized that the Bee Mount is the absolute BEST mount in the entire game. You want one, no, NEED one right now. OK, so what do you need to make this happen. Step 0: Go to the auction house and buy a few monel-hardened stirrups . Using the stirrups is the best way to harvest jelly. No need to dismount unless you are attacking something. Try not to. Step 1: Head over to wowhead and read what they said over there. This will give you all the details on how to get started. Turning off ground clutter really does help. Step 1B: set your hearthstone to the inn in Brannadam. It's a bit of a pain if your dalaran hearth is on cooldown, but nice to not have to fly back to stormsong each time. Step 2: You've now finished the intro quest chain, and are planning to harvest lots of thin jelly. You need to level your baby bee up 10,000 (3,000 for baby, another 7,000 for mature) health points to 'mature' and each thin jelly feed this little guy 6, SIX. Th

Are you Mecha-Done?

One of the most exciting mounts to come out this last expansion (personally) is the Model-W. This wheel mount comes in two variants, new and rusty. The rusty edition is dropped from Rustfeather with a 0.5% drop rate. The Model-W is a shiny edition that comes from a fairly lengthy bunch of achievements. I have been working on this achievement on my Alliance Warlock for some time now and thought it was time to look up the remaining portions. (Note: Comparing achievements with my alts, it appears the meta-achievements are BOA. My son has Making the Mount marked completed, yet hasn't completed the quest chain.) You can find the achievement under: Character > Achievements > Exploration > Battle For Azeroth It has 10 meta-achievements included in it. I believe the very first achievement " Unnamed Branch " is from completing the main storyline which concludes with killing King Mechagon in the dungeon "Operation: Mechagon". (update: as soon as
