Early in the game’s history, I remember being amazed at players who owned the Ashes of Al’ar, or good ol’ Invincible.
Nowadays however…Everybody has dozens of 1% drop chance mounts. It’s not special anymore.
Which leaves me asking: which mounts still do amaze you?
For me, it’s the PvP S12 Gladiator mount: the malevolent gladiator’s cloud serpent.
All gladiator mounts are unique, but this one had a really striking design, and it looked gorgeous. It’s truly one of a kind.
About any mount I do not have, whether it is rare or not. It is quite funny to think about it, really. Always get this moment of awe and then I still don’t go get it.
But I can still remember leaving Teldressil for the first time back in Vanilla and seeing a hunter with a night saber mount and cat pet and thinking it was the coolest thing ever!
Maxed out Reps, Got both Mounts from Obsidian area. Flexed the Black scales for a little… but now I’ve unlocked the Bronze ones, so my Highland Drake is Yellow at the moment
Heavenly Onyx Cloud Serpent. Badass mount but I do not and will never have the patience to farm it. Anything that involves pseudo time gate and other players is a big no-no. It’s the one thing that seperates it from all of the other 1% drop mounts from raids and dungeons. At least you can run those on alts on your own and zone tf out. Sha farm is too tedious for me. If you want HOCS you pretty much have to play that farm as it’s own game. Hats off to anybody who has it.
