Can someone please explain how to get Flying Mounts in BC?

SkScotchegg · 19 Jan 2007 at 18:00

Hey peolple, I've asked in guild chat and nobody knows and nobody seems to care where as me, I am so excited and want to know everything!!

Please can you help me out, I want to know all this information:

What Rep do I need?
What quest do I need to do?
Can you explain about the none epic mount and the epic mount?
What level can I buy one?
Do you buy training for it?
I heard the epic one is 5000g and the none epic one is 1000g?
Where is the vender for the training and the buying of the mount?

As you can see from the questions above I want to know everything, its all I care about, I am playing hardcore with no idea of how or when I am going to get this mount. Money is no problem for me, so please tell me everything, I really hope someone knows and can stop my frustration because its killing me not knowing! Yesterday I played for 18 hours, I play from the moment I wake to going to bed. Please someone tell me!!! Or I will cry!!!

Cheers in advance,

I've played since beta and none of my accounts have ever logged into there forums. But I always post on here, and this is the games section, and I know loads of OCUk members play wow and there must be someone with a head full of kwoledge on this subject?

Am so dying to find out everything I have asked above, I'll keep waiting for replies...

Cheers in advance,

At level 70 you can learn two new flying skill ranks:
Expert, which costs 800g, and another 100g for the flying mount - A gryphon for the alliance and a Windrider for horde (60% speed increase on land and air).
Once you have Expert, you can buy the Artisan skill for 5000g, and epic flying mounts for 200g (100% speed increase on land, 280% in air).
If you're honored with whatever faction you buy the mount from, you get a 10% discount on both the costs.
All of these can be bought from vendors in the main faction towns in Shadowmoon Valley

Nether Drake epic mounts are given to the highest ranking arena team every season, and err... there are a few other reward mounts aswell.

Hope that helps.

LOl what an addict!!! worse that i was!!!

tomanders91 · 19 Jan 2007 at 23:15

stop playing the game now before it sucks you in so much you dont even get up to go to the toilet, you just sit there day and night in your own waste.

BigRoger · 20 Jan 2007 at 02:38

tbh TBC is very easy.Compared too the 50-60 quests the quests in TBC are like level 10-20 quests.And the loot you get is just ridiculous for the stuff you have to do for them.for the amount of time they spent developing this there isnt about a quaters amount of content from the original wow even thought they spent half the time as wow making it.

I think you should come back from your holiday in Azeroth and return to the real world some time soon.

Thanks allot Trefaes, thats just what I wanted......You didnt mention quest or rep tho, so I take it you dont have to do a quest and need no rep for these mounts then?

For being hardcore, you sure don't know a lot.

I have to give it to Blizzard, they might suck at maintenance but having played many MMOs, I have to see this is the best expansion I've seen for ANY game for a long time.

At some point get some people from Outland to link you gear... you'll see how much better it is. Then when you go to Outland, if you can avoid being swamped with 100 people doing the same quest, it's very very good.

Depends what you want. I was after more things to do other than raiding and pointless item whoring, from what friends say it isn't worth it.

I haven't managed to get myself a copy yet but from what I've heard from friends it's an excellent expansion, so if you're a fan of WoW it's definitely worth getting, there's plenty more content for all types of players, including a ton of casual stuff.

Alexrose1uk · 20 Jan 2007 at 15:10

I got the expansion yesterday, am really enjoying it. Havent heard any complaints from my guild yet either, a lot of whom had copies by Tuesday.
New skills, more content, new quests, new gear, new raids, new lore stuffs, new races...why complain?
