Hi, some days ago I bought a Sky Golem for 77k golds. This mount has a wonderful skill, it allows to gather herbs without dismount. This skill allows to save so much time since it allows you to save the cast time but moreover it allows you to gather the herbs and fly away even if you get aggro.
The advantage you gain with this mout is so big that you’ll never use any other kind of mount. And that’s pretty sad. Sky Golem is pretty cool but I’d like be able to use other mounts.
What I really hope is that a mount equipment to allow to gather herb will be implemented. Maybe for those players that own a Sky Golem in a way similar to what happened for water walk for players that own gerride.
It is odd that they felt this way about the water strider to the point they actually stopped it’s ability to stride on water yet they are fine with the herbing mount working this way.
I have not really been impressed with the whole mount equipment thing.
I think that mount equipment has the purpose to allow you to use every mount you like, indipendently by the effect you need. For classes without effect to walk on water, water strider was a forced choise mount. But mounts should be an estetic choise
You can, there’s a consumable which allows you to do the same thing.
Used to be worth 1% of the sky golem usual price on my server, if you didn’t plan to farm for dozens of hours then you’re better off with the consumable (unless you want the mount itself more than the ability to gather while mounted)
Oh yeah and the consumable also allows you to mine while mounted
I guess much more players used the water strider in early BFA than there are herb farmers. If suddenly half of the playerbase starts using the golem all the time then the effect may be removed just like the strider
Am I the only person who bought the Sky Golem because they just genuinely liked the mount? I didn’t even know it can gather herbs for a good couple months after the purchase.
I did level ugly NE, only because they can be druids, I would like the change, but also I would like if there was another mount that would allow to gather herbs without dismount. I do not like the golem and another similar mount from 300 toys.
Personally, I would prefer to make it so that you can’t even see herbs while mounted let alone gather them.
There comes a point where the in game profession ceases to be anything like it’s namesake. if I were to go out and gather herbs, I would need to take my time to spot them and actually search. all this added convenience takes the soul of of the game and makes it just a series of boring repetitive mouseclicks.
I understand a lot of people want convenience and I respect that, I don’t support it though.
edit: I would like to see gathering professions resemble more of a mix between what they currently are and what archaeology is. you know the general area where they are, but you do some kind of actual gameplay to locate the exact spot.
It’s not silly, you find it silly. The flight wobbling is so cool, it’s a change from all the boring flights. The flight wobbling is amazing. It feels like you’re a super-hero.
